JourneyPure Bowling Green is a behavioral health facility that is dedicated to providing the highest quality of addiction treatment services to everyone who walks through our doors. We focus on giving clients solutions so that they can move forward in their lives confidently. We believe that everyone who is need of addiction treatment should be given the opportunity to recover regardless of what their past history or background is like.
At JourneyPure Bowling Green, we strive to make deep connections with all clients so that we can help them end the devastating cycle of substance abuse and begin working towards their new, better normal. Not only does every single person on our staff put all of their energy into helping improve the lives of clients, but the type of care that is provided through JourneyPure Bowling Green is proven effective and professionally administered by these compassionate staff members.
Taking an Evidence-Based Approach
There are countless options for addiction treatment throughout the entire country, however, at JourneyPure Bowling Green, we focus on providing clients with the most exceptional care possible. Evidence-based treatments, such as individual therapy, group therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) have all been proven to help treat substance use disorders and certain mental health conditions. They are based in the evidence that shows these (and other) treatment modalities are effective treatment options. While we focus greatly on providing evidence-based treatments, we also incorporate other forms of treatment that have not been studied thoroughly enough to be defined as evidence-based but have helped clients obtain sobriety and keep it.
A Customized Addiction Treatment Program
Every single client of JourneyPure Bowling Green can rest assured that the programming that they will be involved in will be specific to his or her own personal needs. The team at JourneyPure will conduct assessments of the client so that they can determine what kinds of therapies are best for the client, as well as what level of treatment programming is most suitable for them. Throughout one's time spent at JourneyPure Bowling Green, their treatment program can be modified based on how their needs evolve. This can include introducing or removing certain therapies in one's programming, transitioning him or her into a different level of care, or potentially change the timeline that he or she was planning on remaining in treatment for.
Throughout a client's entire recovery journey, we work endlessly to ensure that they are constantly being provided with real-time care so that they can finally close this chapter of their book once and for all.
Keeping it Connected
When clients are prepared to transition back into their everyday lives, we at JourneyPure Bowling Green know just how intimidating that can feel. Therefore, our connection with clients does not end when he or she leaves the treatment facility. Instead, we work to remain connected with one another so that the client can thrive off of our continued support. One of the ways in which we do this is through the provision of the JourneyPure Coaching app. This app works to help clients remain connected to a therapist, log his or her meals, exercise, and meetings, and communicate with others in the recovery community. In addition to the JourneyPure app, we will help clients locate resources in their area, such as therapists and 12-Step meetings, so that they can begin building a local support group.
At JourneyPure Bowling Green, we go above and beyond our calling to make sure that every single client is given a shot at a better, recovered life.

Effective metaphor does more than shed light on the two things being compared. It actually brings to the mind's eye something that has never before been seen. It's not just the marriage ceremony linking two things; it's the child born from the union. Votes: 4Rebecca McClanahan
From a Christian perspective, the answer to all of that is not power, as it is in the modern perspective. It's love. It's self-sacrifice. That's what love is all about. The marriage ceremony says it very well: sacrifice is difficult, but love can make it a joy. Votes: 4Francis George
President David O. McKay (1873-1970) observed that too many couples come to "marriage looking upon the marriage ceremony as the end of courtship instead of the beginning of an eternal courtship. ... Love can be starved to death as literally as the body that receives no sustenance. Love feeds upon kindness and courtesy" Votes: 4David O. McKay
There's still another problem which puzzles a lot of people - whether or not a baby will come within the budget. Our sentimental advice is to have one anyway, if you want one and have been through the marriage ceremony. The people who wait till they can afford a baby seldom have one at all except by surprise.

How institutional voids influence Brazilian foreign direct investment in Angola
How do institutional voids influence emerging market multinationals (EMNEs) foreign direct investment (FDI) in developing countries? In this article we respond to this question by examining Brazilian FDI in Angola as our analytical setting. We focus on the host country's institutions and its institutional voids as essential factors that attract the FDI of EMNES to developing countries. The research indicates that Brazilian companies fill in much of these voids within the market intermediaries, often creating a point of competitive advantage, and also creating advantages in relation to FDI from other economies that invest in Angola. The scarce literature on FDI in Africa has been largely dedicated to the analysis of Chinese investment in the region. We aim to complement recent research on the influence of the host country's institutions on the behavior of FDI in developing countries, explaining how some EMNEs are able to use the institutional voids of developing countries as market opportunities. Our findings should provide also implications for EMNEs managers from other emerging markets by providing a better understanding of how Brazilian multinationals expand their business in less developed countries, handle institutional voids and manage relationships with local and foreign institutions in the host country.

A Warrior for Wellness -- One Man's Epic Battle for Recovery: Interview with Gabe Howard | Episode 28
NOTE: This podcast aired on 1/29/19 at 10:00AM ET at https://www.spreaker.com/user/10987718/gabehoward.
After listening to many people describe their experiences with suicidal intensity, I and others have come to think about the clash between the will to live and the desire to escape unimaginable emotional pain as an "epic battle" between fierce forces. On one side is the warrior fighting to live, continuing to make future plans and persevering toward health and vitality. At the same time the pain this warrior is battling can be all-consuming.
In this interview we hear from one man about his "epic battle for recovery" and how he bolstered the strength of his inner warrior who fought valiantly for a passion for living. Gabe Howard is not just managing his bipolar condition and hanging on the edge, he is living well. In other words mental illness and mental well-being are two different dimensions.
About Gabe Howard
In 2003, Gabe was formally diagnosed with bipolar disorder and anxiety and was committed to a psychiatric hospital. He weighed 550 pounds and had been living with mania for the better part of a year. He felt so hopeless that he rented an apartment so he could carry out his plan for suicide. AND at the same time he commenced treatment in the fight for his life.
Once his recovery was in motion, Gabe honed his writing and speaking skills and became an activist. Today he is fighting a new battle — one to end discrimination and prejudice for other people like him who are living with mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar and schizophrenia. He is an award-winning writer contributing to The Mighty and the NAMI Advocate and publishing My Mental Illness is an Asshole and Other Observations. In addition, he produces two podcasts: the Psych Central Podcast and A Bipolar, a Schizophrenic and a Podcast.

One thing I have noticed time and again when speaking to scientists about using animation to communicate their research is that although we start off with an excited conversation about how they would visualise their concepts, when it comes to funding it, they suddenly go luke warm. If that sounds like you and you have some wonderful ideas for animations but don't know where to source the funding for them, then this article is for you. Below I will discuss a few avenues open to you to fund your animations and let you get your creative juices flowing to bring your visions to life! YOU can be the stand out talk at the next conference you are presenting at, or the person who has the most engaging visuals, at the next public engagement event. Read on…
The first pot of money that can be used to fund production of scientific animations is grant funding. Recently one of our customers, Professor of Molecular Genetics at The University of Dundee, Gordon Simpson, and his colleagues, were awarded 2 grants from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) to investigate part of the process in which DNA is copied and modified. When writing the grant application Prof. Simpson contacted me and asked for a formal quote to be included in the impact section of his grant application. This would allow production of a couple of animations at the beginning of the project with a revised version to be made at the end of the project, based on their scientific discoveries. I was happy to provide the quote and now that the funding has been awarded we can begin the production process with budget in hand. Read more about the project on the BioDundee website here.
Secondly, you might want to consider collaboration. Perhaps you have a colleague at another University who works on a similar research area that might want to club together in order to come up with enough money to work with us. This is exactly what Dr. Nicola Stanley-Wall from the University of Dundee and Prof. Cait MacPhee from the University of Edinburgh did. With two great minds contributing to the production process a terrific animation resulted. See their collaborative work here.
Finally, crowdfunding. Although none of our clients have tried this so far, there may be a maverick out there willing to give it a go, especially if your research area is one that is of interest to many people. It does take a bit of an investment in time to get your crowdfunding campaign off the ground. Nesta give a brief overview on how to crowdfund a project here. If you are interested in this and want to be the first to try it with us, please get in touch.
For further information on any of the funding strategies outlined in this article don't hesitate to drop us an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or give us a call to discuss your ideas on 07709 939557. We look forward to hearing from you.

Lauren Harris
BA Modern Languages (French and Spanish)
What do you enjoy most about your degree?
What I love about my degree is the flexibility of the course and how I can design my degree to what truly interests me i.e. by having a variety of culture modules to choose from. It is great having lecturers that are native speakers of the languages I am studying and I believe that this has really helped me to strengthen both my listening and speaking skills.
What do you love most about the University of Exeter and living in Exeter?
I love being part of a campus university! Not only is it beautiful but you can also guarantee that you will see friends/flatmates around during your day. What is also great about living in Exeter is that it is not too big so it is easy to get around everywhere. It is a 15 minute walk from campus to town which is ideal. It is handy being able to walk everywhere, in fact, I don't think I have used a bus once this year.
What are you interested in doing after you graduate?
This is still something I am figuring out but I have been made aware just how many options there are available for Modern Languages students. I am potentially interested in interpretation and this is something I am researching further.
Week in the Life of ...
Lauren Harris
I start my day at 9.30am with a French speaking seminar. My next lecture isn't until 2.30pm so I usually go to the library to get some work done. At 2.30 I have a lecture on Spanish Golden Age Poetry. Monday evenings are usually more related, often having a night in with my flatmates watching a film etc.
Tuesdays include my first seminar at 8.30am. I have Spanish speaking at 8.30am and then Sociolinguistics of French at 9.30am. Then I will go to the library or meet a friend for lunch on campus before my 1.30 seminar. At 1.30 I have Spanish Writing and then French Translation at 2.30 with a bit of a trek between from Harrison to Washington Singer. Evenings often include going to the pub quiz at The Vic or going on my favourite night out – Cheesies!
Wednesday is a quieter day with just one lecture at 11.30am – this being Spanish Translation. It is nice having free time in the afternoon to relax or meet with friends. Wednesday nights either involve going to Wednesday Time Piece for a Korfball Social or watching Bake Off!
Thursday is a very early start! I leave the house at 7am for Korfball training at 7.30-9.00am. I am then lucky to have a day off every other week so I can use that time to get work done or otherwise I have a Spanish Golden Age Poetry Seminar at 11.30am. Evenings usually involve going to student night at my local church.
Friday starts with a 9.30am sociolinguistics lecture and then a French Writing seminar at 11.30am. Sometimes after this I will go to The RAM with friends. Evenings are spent at the Sports Hall doing Korfball training from 7-9pm.
Weekend tend to vary but most weeks I will have a Korfball match either in Exeter or away at somewhere like Bristol or Taunton. At the moment my Saturday nights mostly involve watching Strictly with my housemates and having food together but there are often house parties or nights out arranged with my course mates.
Sunday morning I go to a church service and then there is often student lunch afterwards so I get to spend time with my friends there. The rest of the day can vary with plans but I like to have a relaxed evening in the house to prepare for the week ahead.

Its always a struggle when it comes to travel for vegetarian. The traveler in me wants to know the local culture by tasting it but the psychological barrier that I have with meat always restricts me. On my last trip to Turkey, which is a major meat eater country, I had to struggle a lot with food. So I am gonna list down couple of things at different places I had in Turkey to give you an idea of what can you order if you are a vegetarian and happen to visit Turkey.
These pictures above is a classic example of Turkish breakfast where you will have their Turkish tea (Black Tea) with cucumber, tomato, cheese, olives, berries and cherries with raisins and loads of bread. The breakfast in the whole country is same.
This was my first lunch, for which we ordered Falafel and Aubergine and the breads came along. This was in a cafe in Istanbul. The Falafel were baked crisps and the Aubergine was tangy.
I like how every country have their own way of preparing the veggies.
For vegetarians in Turkey, dips were a savior. Both the images were taken in Selcuk (Top one : Tat Cafe, Bottom one : Agora Cafe)
Spicy tomato cafe was something to go for, it was so yummy. The dip platter or often known as Tapas in menu have couple of dips combined in a plate and breads on the table.
This is one of the local beers of Turkey, Efes Pilson which was really amazing. I always make sure to try the local beer of every country and beers in Turkey helped me filling my stomach when I couldn't find anything to order in the menu.
Cherries, Strawberries and Ice-cream too are unsung heroes along with beer that helped me in not going empty stomach. I don't feel the need to tell you about the world famous Turkish cherries.
But I can not skip telling you about this last picture of Homemade Ice-cream at I AM HERE Cafe in Kekova Island (Near Kas) where I tried scoops Almond honey, Mulberry and Belgian chocolate only for 12 TL. This was the most amazing Ice-cream I ever had, I am not even lying.
This one is from The Fat boys cafe, Capadoccia. This was the most fulfilling dinner I had in turkey. We had Vegetarian Fajita and Aubergine Rice and mashed potato platter with their local wine.
What we call Parantha in India is Gozleme in Turkey. We tried this on our way from Antalya to Konya (Near Aspendos) This is Spinach and Cheese Gozleme with fresh Pomegrante juice. Other varieties were with meat and some with Aubergine and Mushroom.
Last but not the least, this was my favorite dishes of all that I had. This is Rice cooked in pepper served with curd. But the flavours were so good of the spices and the ambiance where we had it was cherry on cake. We had this in Sirince Can Restaurant, Sirince ( also known as Wine village). When in Wine village, do go for wine tasting of their locally produced wine.
These are couple of things that I had in Turkey and I assume would help you to if you also struggle with food.
More posts coming on the whole Turkey journey and my last trip to Mussorie as well. Stay tuned and for regular updates follow me on :

The backside camera works with "AI 2.0" technology, which means it's going to be able to identify locations by the objects it sees - we'll see about that. The dual rear-facing cameras are not as impressive as the ones found on the P20, making do without Leica optimizations, but you're still looking at two very capable 24 and 16MP shooters with dual f/1.8 aperture.
The Snapdragon 636 chipset powers the X6. For the time being, Nokia X6 will be launched in China on May 21st. HMD Global is preparing to launch its new budget smartphone, the Nokia X in China. The smartphone will come with 32GB or 64GB of onboard storage, which can be further expanded with an external MicroSD card. The TENNA listing has revealed that the upcoming Nokia smartphone will come with dual-SIM support, Bluetooth v5.0 and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
As of yet, there is no word on how this new controller actually works, but the leaked images provide some idea. The rumored new Xbox One controller has been posted on Twitter by popular Microsoft leaker Walking Cat . The controller's face features three LED lights, a mode selector, a dpad, and the Xbox navigational buttons ( Xbox Button, Options, View). Following the tweet , WindowsCentral reported that the new controller is likely to be revealed "sometime between now and E3 ...
This is what Apple CEO Tim Cook was recently invited to do and in the process, took a jab at social media and internet companies like Facebook over privacy matters. "In every way at every turn, the question we ask ourselves is not, 'What can we do?', but 'What should we do?" "Because we know it belongs to you", Cook said in his address at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.
The interpretation of those images has been debated; the images pushed the limits of Hubble's sensitivity, and sometimes the space telescope was unable to spot the plumes altogether. But in 2016, and again in 2017 , scientists reported that more Hubble images pointed to the presence of a plume, though something less dramatically exuberant than the geysers of Enceladus , which fly so high that they create a ring around Saturn.
The company is likely to introduce the same screen for lower, budget category mobiles also in order to attract the customers with the wonderful display quality. According to South Korea's Chosun , Samsung had tried to introduce Fingerprint on Display (FOD) on Galaxy S8 previous year. Apple took the first 4 places in terms of sales.
Lenovo seems to have eliminated all of that entirely. The upcoming Lenovo Z5 honestly looks like it gained inspiration from the Vivo APEX and the iPhone X . The executive previously shared a slice of the design - see right - on Weibo, with a claim that it boasts a 95 percent screen-to-body ratio. This render of the Lenovo Z5 doesn't show us the whole picture.
According to a report by Apple Insider , there were thousands of owners who reported have some kind of an issue with their keyboard. The keyboard was advertised as being more responsive and comfortable than its previous iteration. "As a result of the defect, consumers who purchased a MacBook face a constant threat of non-responsive keys and accompanying keyboard failure", the complaint reads.
Asteroids like Eros and 2010 WC9 offer huge scientific and commercial opportunities. This window, which is one of the nearest ever approaches of an asteroid this size, will be at approximately 10:05 p.m. "If you want to watch an asteroid from the couch, you can do this too: we plan to broadcast from the telescope on the night of May 14 (closest to the day before approaching) as long as the weather allows!" The broadcast will be less than 25 minutes in duration, as the asteroid will ...

Organisers of Prof Stephen Hawking's memorial service have seemingly left the door open for time travellers to attend. The public ballot form for tickets lets people scroll from 1918 to 2038 when choosing their date of birth. "All things are possible until proven otherwise", said the Stephen Hawking Foundation. The representative also indicated that, so far, about 12,000 applications have been received "from around the world", and jokingly stressed that they are "from around the ...
This could be looked at two ways. In that fixture, Suryakumar and Ishan Kishan had powered Mumbai to 130 for 1 in the 15th over before Archer bowled effectively at the death, taking three wickets in the 19th over. I think Rajasthan can go all the way this season. If they beat Mumbai they are almost there. His knock comes just two days after he smashed an unbeaten 95 against the Super Kings, Rajasthan now the only team to have won their past three matches.
It's nearly time for Lenovo to unveil the Moto Z3 Play , considering the phone maker first showed off the Z2 Play on June 1st back in 2017 . Moto C2-series device follows the same legacy and even the design of the devices are greatly influenced by the last year's devices.
Congress leaders said Modi's stress on Ayodhya at the public meeting organised in Janakpur and relayed the whole day through television channels was an extended campaign for Karnataka.

YouTube is kicking off Google's plans to help users balance technology and life. Tapping on it is going to give users choices ranging from "Never" to "Every 180 moments". Once a user sets a reminder for a certain time, YouTube will automatically pause the video at those intervals. The user can then choose to dismiss that the reminder to keep on close or seeing to the app.
If you're someone who watches a lot of YouTube on their phone, you might be pleased to learn that YouTube has been rolling out support for HDR support for the iPhone X . iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are also said to support HDR 10 content too, but Apple told Mashable that the display doesn't actually support the display tech natively.

The series catches up with the two main characters from the first Karate Kid film from 1984 with former champion Daniel LaRusso now living his life as a suburban dad who runs a successful chain of auto dealerships while his former high school rival Johnny Lawrence ended up as a down on his luck part time repairman, who can't seem to catch a break.
Nonetheless, the technology could be used for darker ambitions like unlocking doors, wire money or shop online. Of course companies always deny that they are eavesdropping or recording your conversations, but the fact that our devices are constantly on the lookout for trigger words can be disconcerting for some.
The Mars 2020 rover - accompanied by its helicopter companion - is due to launch in July of that year and arrive on the red planet in February 2021. The views from a helicopter flying across Mars will also provide NASA with a stellar public relations tool as it seeks global support for sending humans to the planet in the 2030s or later.
Replacing the existing DB11 V12 - despite that only being launched in 2016 - and throwing 30 more horsepower into the mix, it gives the range a new, more potent flagship. Inside, it gets plenty of carbon fiber and gloss black detailing to match the sporty exterior. Limited to 100 cars worldwide, there will be a Stirling green and lime edition, with lime accents bleeding into the "dark knight" leather interior.

Late previous year, Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel announced that changes would be made to the app after Snapchat fell short of expected growth projections for the quarter. But the public outcry left Snap's advertisers skittish. Finally, user satisfaction fell from 27 to a low of 12 last month. The company was expected to report more than 194 million users but fell short at 191 million.

Living the Dream
Years ago, the Bellflower Community Bike Shop was but a dream for my good friend David Samora. Now it's becoming a reality!
In his life, David has faced a challenging road that has taken plenty of unexpected turns and dips, that ultimately left him out on the street. It was at that time, that he met a man at a local park, who fixed bikes. Times were tough for David, but this man was a welcomed ray of light piercing into the darkness of his addiction and homelessness. That man at the park provided a space of both welcome and belonging for all of the folks he worked with, no matter what walk of life they came from. He fixed bikes for local kids and adults alike.
David was inspired.
After years of unemployment, David got connected with Kingdom Causes and started working his way through the Good Soil Industries social enterprise. By the time he graduated the program, David had a new vision for himself; to start a bike shop. This wasn't to be your average shop, this was to be a place with purpose. David wanted to channel the essence of the space that the man at the park had created for him, into the very fabric of this new shop. One does not simply just start a bike shop though... It takes time and commitment. David would not be deterred, and held tightly to his dream.
After months of campaigning, David was finally given a small space in the back of the Kingdom Causes Community Center at 16429 Bellflower Boulevard. Since that point, the dream has only continued to gain traction. What was once a small operation out of the back of the community center, now occupies window front space on the boulevard in the community center.
The vision for the Bellflower Community Bike Shop continues to morph and change, but the foundation remains the same. Here at the bike shop, we are a place where strangers of all ages are welcomed, find belonging, and also learn about bicycles.
This where you come in the picture.
Do you bike often? Would you like to learn how to keep it running well?
The Bellflower Community Bike Shop is for you.
Are you someone who fixes bikes? Are you looking for a way to give back to your community?
The Bellflower Community Bike Shop is for you.
Do you know some kids in your neighborhood who don't have a bicycle of their own?
The Bellflower Community Bike Shop is for you.
Do you have a bike that's done little more than take up garage space? DONATE IT!
The Bellflower Community Bike Shop is for you.
If you are interested please contact Robert VerWys at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information or swing on by the shop tonight with your bike from 6-8pm! Hope to see you there!

26 OCT 2016: As Halloween approaches, it's time to consider a trip to Mystical Golf in Myrtle Beach where I'm sure you'll find the trio of golf courses to be quite bewitching, but let's face it -the main reason folks head down to Myrtle Beach over the winter is to golf their brains out for bargain prices.
Sure the Grand Strand has become more gentrified over the last decade with sophisticated dining, spas and terrific shopping, but great golf at incredible prices is the main draw and no place on earth rivals Myrtle Beach.
Claude Pardue, the marketing whiz behind Mystical golf which comprises three courses— The Witch, The Wizard and Man O' War—has conjured up an irresistible cauldron of package deals. The Witch and Man-O-War courses are ranked in the "Top 15 Courses in South Carolina" in Golf Channel's Golf Advisor rater reviews. The three-day Gold Package is less that $115 US (per person, per day, taxes included). And that even includes a few beers and meals.
Pardue told me that he chose Dan Maples as his architect for all three of his courses because, "Dan listens to me and builds the kind of course I want, not his own ego trip." Obviously Maples doesn't use the cookie-cutter approach to his designs, each of the Mystical courses has its own distinct layout and personality. Even the clubhouses are unique. The Wizard has a castle, the Witch has a pointy roofed house and Man O' War has a fish camp on stilts over the water.
On property once owned by a paper factory, Maples moved an astounding 1,000,000 cubic yards of earth and in doing so brought the feel of Scottish links golf to The Wizard, complete with stone bridges and burns. At 6,721 yards from the tips this par-71 has more than a few tricks up its sleeve. Don't get too smug about your score until you've finished the grand finale of fairways 16, 17 and 18 which include plenty of water and a couple of devious, almost-island bentgrass greens.
Over at The Witch, Dan Maples has brewed up a totally different experience. The first nine is built in the middle of the 500-acre Waccamaw swamp.
"We constructed The Witch in 1989 and did not disturb one inch of wetlands," says Pardue, who had an environmental conscience before it became politically correct. In one of its "Best of" issues, Golf Digest gave the Witch four and a half stars and applauded its tee markers which are made of cypress roots and resemble shriveled little witches.
Nearly 4,000 feet of wooden bridges wind through acres of cypress forests draped with spooky Spanish moss. Alligators, plenty of other marsh critters and waterfowl create a magical and somewhat eerie sensation on the first nine. There's not a house or highway in sight—just you, nature and a tight challenge on every hole.
The Witch displays a dual personality that changes on back nine. Suddenly golfers are confronted with huge elevation changes created by natural dunes. Pardue doesn't believe in signature holes, but my vote goes to number nine, a fiendish par-four requiring you to fly the wetlands. You won't forget the whimsical distance markers on the driving range. Aim for a witch!
Prepare to do battle on Man O' War, a watery tract rising from an 80-acre lake with back-to-back island greens. Your arsenal should include a few extra Titleists in case a few of your wayward balls go for a dip. Just before the turn, Man O'War presents its signature hole, the par-four ninth. Believed to be the only hole along the Strand that features an island fairway and island green, it invites golfers to first hit over water and then onto a green near the tip of the island.
Service with a smile is another reason to play the Mystical trio. Pardue believes in keeping his customers happy and that includes frequent visitations from the cart girl, reasonable prices in the snack bar and pro shop and starters who don't drone on for 15 minutes when all you really want to do is let it rip. www.mysticalgolf.com
No jacket, no tie, no attitude
Once you've worked up an appetite for something fishy, head to funky Murrels Inlet, dubbed Seafood Capital of South Carolina. With names like Bovines, Dead Dog Saloon and Drunken Jack's you would be correct in assuming that these places are big on atmosphere and devoid of pretension.
For a splurge, head to Greg Norman's Grille in North Myrtle. I recommend the cowboy steak washed down with a glass of the Shark's own Shiraz. You will need a doggy bag.
Getting There
Sure you can drive but wouldn't you rather spend more time on the fairways than highways? Porter Airlines provides seasonal non-stop service from Canada between Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport and Myrtle Beach International Airport, beginning February 15 through May 20, 2017.
Quite aside from being an award winning writer, whose travel articles and photography regularly appear in golf and lifestyle publications and websites, Anita Draycott is a self confessed golf fanatic, who has chased dimpled white balls over five continents.

The following samples are taken from;
The Ultimate Guide to The Organisation & Other Pieces
Nothing is more stirring than the sound of lusty young voices raised in the Latin School Song. Only the Latin master has any idea of what the words mean, but the nostalgia persists through middle to old age, tugging not only the heart - but also the purse-strings to good effect. Not surprisingly, therefore, the Business Schools, in their incessant search for image and endowments, have embraced this unfailing formula. Memorandum est Scribendum (Take a Memo) is a moving example of this genre.
Floreamus MBAnes
Memorandum nunc, Anate - Aquatica* celere
Est scribendum Directori venditorum hodie.
(Get right in here, Miss Puddle-Duck,
And take a memo, right away.
Address it to the Sales Director.
Move! Ain't got the whole damn day!)
Quaere lupae cunctatorem quid obstet hunc filium,
Fax instanter est mittenda, sine faece bovium.
(Ask the lazy son-of-bitches
What-the-hell's got in the way.
Say I want a fax this minute,
And no bull-shit now. OK?)
Benedicte, quo collapsis dividendis fugimus,
Quid sit Urbis declarandum Institutionibus.
(Would he kindly make suggestions,
Now the profit's in collapse,
As to where we hide, or tell these
City Institution chaps?)
Cogitamus ergo sumus placebat philosophis,
Neque vero elegantis illis monetariis.
("I think, therefore I am" 's a treasure
Old philosophy enjoys,
But cash provides the only pleasure
For these banker fancy-boys.)
* an allusion to Jemima Puddle-Duck,
(Jemima Anate-Aquatica) a well-known beauty and pin-up for early 20th century businessmen and business school professors.
Directors are the firm's élite;
They fall, but mainly on their feet;
For once they have their Board regalia
Most seem impervious to failure;
And changes, when the critics frown,
Are mainly somewhat lower down.
They come in two quite separate blends,
Professionals, and Chairman's friends;
The former tested by survival,
The latter non-executival;
The first have offices and functions,
The second don't, except for luncheons.
We love our Board, and hold them dear,
So long as they don't interfere.
Accountants are a race apart,
Among the social-swingers,
For only they have made an Art
From counting on their fingers!
Their tools of trade to get ahead
Are pens and calculators,
With ink - some black, but mainly red -
And Institutes for status.
By looking, as the artist looks,
At debt, or tax affliction,
They've made the keeping of the Books
The highest form of fiction.
The rest may make and sell, but they
Most often have the final say!
Economists, like those at law,
Are masters of the 'either-or';
They speak, in dark and Delphic prose,
Of putative scenarios,
But will not be specific on
The Future, till it's been and gone;
And even then, they disagree
On how it was, or came to be!
They flatter our directors' brains
With supper-talk of Marx of Keynes,
But leave them feeling what's so wrong
With just plain muddling*-along?
Thus Economics re-implants
The art of flying by your pants!
* or, as suggested by the great Sir Alec Cairncross, 'modelling-along'!
Legal men in corporations,
Thrive on doubts and hesitations;
Answer questions with another,
And 'on the one hand, on the other';
The art of sitting on the fence
Was built on legal precedents.
Their major task, beyond a doubt,
Is bailing the directors out;
When, in despair at 'pro' and 'anti',
They act, and find they're 'in flagrante'.
The lawyer's, meanwhile, with his claret,
Inside Regina versus Garrett!
The law's an ass? not so the classes,
Who clean up nicely as it passes!
Salesmen, of whatever races,
Look the same at fifty paces;
Notwithstanding girth or size,
Something lurking in their eyes
Indisputably asserts -
This guy's in Sales, so watch your shirts!
Salesmen must, however fearful,
Act indomitably cheerful,
Riding round their carousel
Of never-ending need to sell;
And knowing, if they meet their quota,
It's up, for each successive rota.
How they do it, no-one's saying;
But when they don't, it's time for praying.
Up and down the hierarchy,
Heads of this-and-that exist,
But it's hogwash and mularkey
To the firm's receptionists!
When visitors creep through the door,
And take a hesitating pace,
It's not the Board they're looking for,
But 'welcome' on Reception's face.
So they're the ones who set the style
On which the whole damn show depends;
Not press-releases, but a smile
Which turns the strangers into friends.
A business, in the world's perception,
Is sitting there, behind Reception!
I observe, in the press,
Embarras de richesse
Of ideas for relief
Of executive stress.
And, with each diagnosis,
Some further prognosis,
On optimum means
Of a metamorphosis.
Some believe in mens sana
In corpore sano,
And the marathon jog
By the Thames or the Arno;
Till the rampant corpuscle,
And ache in the muscle,
Put paid to the pains
Of executive hustle.
While others, I find,
Are more strongly inclined,
To some Freudian view
That it's all in the mind;
And executive gloom
Can be traced to the Womb,
Or the Ego and Id,
As they elbow for room.
But until we exhume a
True cure for the tumour,
I recommend massive
Injections of humour;
The kind we can give -
Laughing not at, but with -
As the most therapeutic
Incentive to live.
When a smile meets a trauma,
It's mainly the former
Which tends to prevail
Where the atmosphere's warmer.
By temperament, the Businessman
Stays optimistic when he can,
And, in adversity, supposes
Everything will come up roses!
Wholly disinclined to whining,
Every cloud's his silver lining,
Even while - as may await us -
They're showing in the liquidators.
It matters not the bank has said it's
Cutting off his line of credits!
Guess who's factoring his debts
For one more fling to back his bets?
Always in tomorrow's mail
May come that one stupendous sale,
And chance to tell the bank - oh bliss! -
To stick what up which orifice!
Even as the business crashes,
He's rising, Phoenix from the ashes,
Confident, if none the wiser,
He'll sell the ash for fertilizer.
Before they've snipped the umbilical,
He's bouncing to the business cycle,
And, in his genes, already feeling
His destiny in wheeler-dealing.
For such a one, who in his sleep
Could sell the fleece back to the sheep,
There is no cure for this addiction
By bankruptcy or such affliction.
Life's a never-ending look
To find a deal and make a buck;
And when he's deepest in the ditch
He never doubts he'll make it rich!
So, up and off to seek the prize,
Our Valiant-For-Enterprise
Pursues commercial pastures new,
Incorrigibly smiling through!
Domine illuminatio mea,
Look favourably on this our prayer;
That these poor wimps, in statu pupillari,
Become not too inquisitive nor starry-
Eyed, nor radical, nor witty.
But let them lust for riches in the City,
Wherewith, by covenant or charter,
They may endow their grateful Alma Mater.
Temper their yearnings to be wise
With visionary calls to Enterprise;
And exorcise all ghosts of shame or sin
At ventures of this dubious kind we're in.
A thousand years on, we commit to Thee
The relaunched Oxford Inc and PLC.
May Academe, old fruitless passions spent,
Embrace this New, Improved Enlightenment;
And may these new-found Customers for Knowledge
Get richer quicker for their Dear Old College!
The poet sang he'd never see
A poem, lovely as a tree;
Whereat, some less poetic japer
Hacked it down to make the paper,
On which we read, and so destroy,
The unique fountain of his joy.
Of what once innocent desire,
Each for his Chariot of Fire,
Is made man's manic devastation
Of quiet road and friendly station?
His automotive Armageddon
Of motorway, to spill his dead on?
Even to climb the lofty peak,
And hug the heavens, cheek to cheek,
To glimpse the golden eagle soar,
May pull, behind me, thousands more;
Perversely churning rock to sand,
His solitudes to Disneyland.
How 'free' is 'freedom' which impairs
The equal sanctity of theirs?
Who chose the 'choice' which sets our greed
Above our own, and others', need?
Where were we, when the bust-or-boomers
Pronounced us, finally, 'consumers'?
What ignorance induced the guilt
On which the marketeers have built
Such parodies of what we know
We humans are, and need, and owe?
On what naivety the telly
Prescribed this primacy of belly?
What idiocy oiled the plunder,
Mixed too small wisdom with the wonder?
Robbed 'freedom' of the saner stuff,
Which knows excessive from enough?
Dream on - but wakeful to the meanness
That mocks the green-horn in our greenness.
Not one more child to die of famine,
Dolphin of our filth he swam in,
Penguin from our oily spillage,
Jungle, strangled by our pillage;
Not one more endangered species
Suffocating in our faeces,
Tributary, beach or skua
Asphyxiated in our sewer!
All die, bequeathing last regards
To our rapacious credit cards;
To 'choice' that lives on borrowed worth
And debts, long underpaid to Earth.

Evil Leader II (The Demise of Subservience)
MDF, HD Polyester woven print, Mechanical Collage
A monstrous character, once a powerful ruler, can be seen crumbling
into jagged crystalline shapes and inky growth growths in a classic tale
of corruption that clashes antiquity and modernity. The theatrical setting
of the work places a giant figure on the centre stage being devoured
by a corrosive army that is entirely infectious. The demagogue is being
transformed into a colossus that can no longer be contained in her mortal
body. The demise and collapse of subservience has begun. The entourage
of cultish beings desperately try and maintain the stability of the villain,
but panic is in the air.
Rayments work Evil Leader II (The Demise of Subservience) is politically
charged in response to the return of mass social upheaval and shines
a light onto the repeated patterns of political leadership and the
theatricality of its nature. Leaders mask their animus in a plethora of
disguises, their favourite mantra still remains "Strong and Stable" as it
was in days of 20th century political radicalism. The work expresses the
contradictory nature of power sadomasochistic within society that was
prevalent during the late 1980's and informs much of the narrative within
Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.

– Harvesting the Night at the Star Snow Festival –
Renan Cepeda
WM Gallery Amsterdam September 14th – October 19th, 2013
Opening: Saturday September 14th, 5-7 p.m.
Deep in the Andes, in the isolated Sinakara valley near Cusco, Peru, every year – when the full moon rises a week before Corpus Christi – Quechua- and Aymara-speaking Andeans celebrate the legendary festival of Qoyllur Rit'i; the indigenous fiesta dedicated to the Lord of the Star Snow.
Brazilian photographer Renan Cepeda, who has gained considerable acclaim for his unusual photographic techniques such as infrared photography and light painting, has chosen this religious festival as his next subject for the upcoming show at WM Gallery. Braving the bitter cold of minus 10 degrees at an oxygen-depleted altitude of 4700 metres, together with tens of thousands of pilgrims he made his way through the moonlit mountains to pay tribute to the sunrise at the glaciers just below Apu (Mt.) Culquenpunku. Using an old 1952 twin Rolleiflex lens and 120 6x6 cm films, he asked the pilgrims to pose for one minute, shine a flashlight at the subject, and take the shot. All effects are created at the time of the shot, without any further manipulation. Indeed, Cepeda's unique brand of night-photography is a particularly apt method to capture the magic of Qoyllur Rit'í as the pilgrimage always takes place during the largest full moon of the year, when the Pleiades star cluster disappears. Although his subjects readily posed for him, Cepeda could not but notice the sullen looks of defiance of these Inca descendants.
For Qoyllur Rit'í is not simply a manifestation of syncretic (Pre-Columbian and Roman Catholic) religious faith. It is, in fact fraught with the politics of culture, religiosity and opposition to cultural colonisation. Officially, the Church postulated that the origin of the religious pilgrimage started in 1780. In that year, the Indian shepherd boy Mariano Mayta befriended a young mestizo named Manuel while tending his herd of llamas in the Sinakara valley. Manuel fed him and helped him with his herd. Some time later, when Mariano's father saw the enlarged and well-fed herd of llamas, he told his son to buy himself and his friend a new set of clothes. Carrying a scrap of Manuel's poncho to Cusco, it turned out that only the Archbishop wore such cloth and, immediately, a Church commission went up to the mountain where Manuel lived. When the delegation came up to the young mestizo, he was shining with a radiant light. On trying to grab hold of him, one delegate found himself holding a crucifix. Mariano, thinking that they had killed his friend, died on the spot and was buried under a rock nearby. Church officials later had a crucified Christ painted onto the rock, which by then had become a place of worship for the local peasant populace.
1780 is, incidentally, the year of the religio-cultural rebellion of Tupác Amaru against the very same Church official who recognised Manuel's scrap of clothing: the Archbishop; His Excellency Moscoso! It seems likely that the Church was responsible for the fabrication of the legend in an attempt to co-opt an existing indigenous fiesta; the pre-Columbian festival of Oncoymita, in which the Incas honoured the cyclical disappearance of the Pleiades star-cluster (Quechua: Oncoy), for the preservation the cornfields and the transition of the old year to the new. This annual disappearance of the Pleiades (roughly from April 24th to June 9th) was furthermore the symbolic and ritualised period of chaos (pachacuti), the transition between the old world and the new, the time of healing, regeneration and civilisation.
It would appear that the fiesta of Qoyllur Rit'í, under the thin veneer of Roman Catholicism, is a continuation of Inca cosmology, of the unity of time and space, of the cyclical calendar of Inca dominion in the past, the present time of cultural colonialism, and the future of Inca resurrection; the moment when the mythical Inca king Inkarrí will drive the Spanish out and the reign of civilisation will last for 500 years.
With QOYLLUR RIT'Í – Harvesting the Night at the Star Snow Festival – Renan Cepeda has captured the magic and mystery that abounds in one of the most spectacular religious festivals in South America, that serves as a vehicle for the prolongation of pre-Columbian cosmology and the cultural defiance of the descendants of the once mighty Inca empire.

Luke 2:22-35
22When the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord 23(as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord"), 24and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, "A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons." 25Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him. 26It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 27He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the custom of the law, 28then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said, 29"Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace; 30for my eyes have seen your salvation, 31which you have prepared before the face of all peoples; 32a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel." 33Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him, 34and Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, "Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against. 35Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed."

5 Ways to Heal Your Hormones/
In May of 2017 I decided, on a whim, to go off of hormonal birth control. After listening to this interview something just clicked. The woman being interviewed didn't even speak much about the Pill but it sparked something in me to question something I never had before.
Without much research, I decided that this last pack of pills would be my last. I didn't get my next refill and the month of June was the first month I was off of birth control in quite a while.
I had been given a prescription for the pill like many other young women, to combat heavy, painful periods and to manage acne. No one ever discussed side effects or long term consequences the pill presents. I was actually excited for my prescription. I thought I'd finally get some boobs! (Sadly, I did not.)
Fast forward to being an adult woman in her mid twenties, I was increasingly interested in my "woman's health". I knew I wanted babies in the not-so-distant future and the horror stories I would hear of women having the most difficult time getting pregnant definitely freaked me out a bit.
So I consider June of 2017 the month I became a real woman.
There's alot were not taught. Not by society, not by our doctors and definitely not in health class. I found myself at 26 years old googling what "ovulation" meant. True story.
...And that's pretty much how I learned about my body. I googled. I read. I enrolled in a nutrition course that taught me even more about hormonal health. Slowly but surely I realized many of the things I thought we "broken" about me: low libido, moments of massive depression (the littlest thing would send me spiraling), panic attacks and brain fog. I always thought this was just the way I am, never once questioning this little pill I took every night.
After this year long experiment of self-correcting my hormones, I think I've finally figured out what works + what didn't. Through hours of studying, reading, listening to expert holistic doctors on podcasts, to talking with doulas + midwives, to my nutrition curriculum I now want to shout this information from the rooftops!
...But since I don't have a rooftop, a blog post will do.
If you are considering going off the pill sometime soon, following the steps below will help the adjustment be much smoother.
5 Ways to Heal Your Hormones
Get your gut right.
Healing your gut + filling it with good bacteria is your #1 concern. Your microbiome (that's the collection of good bacteria in your gut) controls the production of hormones. It's directly connected to your endocrine system. Get yourself a good quality probiotic and fill up on fermented foods like full fat greek yogurt, sauerkraut, apple cider vinegar etc.
Eat an anti-inflammatory diet.
I know we wanna eat all the things and still feel and look amazing but the thing is you are what you eat. You eat low quality foods, you're gonna feel like a low quality person. It's just that simple. Clean out your pantry of any processed foods, conventional meats, gluten, soy and conventional dairy. Restock your pantry with organic, non processed foods, high quality meats + eggs and sheep's milk products. The inflammation the other foods cause is what's keeping you from living your best life.
Most of the time I suggest getting your vitamins from whole foods, but I don't believe our food has enough nutrients (nor do we eat properly enough to get everything we need), so supplementing in this case I feel is totally fine. You will need to add good quality fatty acids. A fish oil for omega-3 and evening primrose oil for omega-6. Vitamin D3 if your aren't getting direct, non-sunscreened sun light, you'll need to take vitamin D. This vitamin is fat soluble so you'll want to make sure you take it with some sort of fat to help make it available in your body!
If you do all the other things on this list you will still not be able to regulate your hormones without proper sleep. Your body uses sleep as a time to restore. It's literally like your car being in the body shop. Proper sleep helps regulate the sympathetic (fight or flight) nervous system and parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system in your body. Our goal is to activate the parasympathetic nervous system most of the time.
Reduce or eliminate stress.
In order to active this parasympathetic nervous system, we must reduce our cortisol (the stress hormone that creates excess estrogen in our system when we're producing too much). In order to do that we have to take a very practical look at our lives. What is causing the most stress? How can we reroute? How can we do to avoid it completely? What can we take off our plate?
For example, I followed this protocol for a year straight. My periods came back with a vengence and were just as painful and unbearable as I remembered them in high school after going off the pill. I was watching what I was eating, I was limiting my caffeine and making sure I was taking care of my gut…
But with my previous job, I taught upwards of 10 spin classes a week, keeping my cortisol levels unaturally high and prohibiting me from gaining any control of my hormones.
At the time I didn't know it, so I pressed on.
Fast forward, I started teaching classes earlier in the morning, my sleep patterns started to change and I was averaging 6 hours of sleep per night. I got sick with the flu twice in two months but I still didn't get the message.
Three months later I started experiencing massive migraines that lasted 26, twentyyyyy sixxxx, days in a row. Debilitating pain that put me in the hospital.
After all my studying and training I knew in my gut what was causing it. My job required me to be in overdrive at all times and made a steady sleep schedule nearly impossible.
To make a really long story short, the day I quit my job my headaches decreased by half and a week after the last class I taught I was sleeping through the night. The following month I experienced absolutely zero pre-menstrual pain and didn't even realize I had gotten my period. This might not make much sense to you depending on where you are in your hormonal journey but this to me was the greatest gift in learning about my body. When given half the chance, the body will heal itself.
If you are experiencing severe PMS, suffer from PCOS, are struggling with infertility or are thinking of coming off hormonal birth control, I would suggest starting with these simple steps. It doesn't have to involve fancy pills and potions, it's just about coming back into your body. Trust your gut, you know yourself better than anyone else. Don't let anyone make you feel like they know your body better than you.
And if you want some more steps on activating your parasympathetic nervous system, I wrote a 25-page eBook with detailed information on how to add balance back into your life. You can grab your copy here!
If you have any questions regarding the pill, hormones or are interested in working together one on one to help you regulate, send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Happy hormone healing!
