"Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice." Philippians 4:4
Begin your time with God in prayer:
Praise God for who He is. Confess any sin so that nothing blocks your fellowship with Him. Ask God to use the Spirit and the Word to transform your life. Yield your will to God's will.
Let God's Word penetrate your head and your heart:
Pastor Jay says that when it comes to conflict, we carry a pail of water in one hand and gasoline in the other. We can either intensify conflict by pouring gasoline on it or we can use godly principles to throw water on the fire.
James 1:19-20 - Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
Review the 10 ways we can put out the fires in our lives.
Cool off first
Purify your heart
Affirm & encourage
Be kind and respectful
Listen without interrupting
Consider their position
Seek a win-win
Be flexible
Propose a fair solution
Apply God's Word to your life:

1 Peter 2:21b-23 - …since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth; and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously.

When Lagos Met Accra Daily Photos
I am presently in Ghana to attend a couple of sumits and happened to meet the brain behind Accra Daily Photo blog at the just concluded ACP (African, Carribean and Pacific States) summit. Emmanuel Bensah and I have been virtual friends for more than a year now but only just met in the flesh. He was one of the people that inspired me into taking photos of Lagos because of the good job he does with projecting Accra through his blog.
Here's to the progress of our two cities and the continuing influence of the Daily Photos community worldwide which has encouraged people to know more about their world.

@Benjamin & Babooshka
West Africa does have a lot to show to the world. Unfortunately we get a lot of bad press, sometimes deservedly, but most times there are success stories that never get told to the world.
@JM & Sherry
Yeah sure, thx.
He surely did meet them. The SUdanese leader was there and he was the centre of attention with most people hoping he would be arrested by the International Criminal Court for genocide in Darfur. But it didn't happen...

Phil Spencer expects Halo to still be around in 20 years
Phil Spencer – Head of Xbox, Tweeter-of-Xbox-news extraordinaire – recently undertook an interview with GameSpot regarding Halo 5: Guardians. During the interview, when asked if he's considered Halo as an annual franchise, Spencer replied:
"I don't think about it that way. Funny enough, we probably have had a Halo release every year for the last few years, but that's been more just around the cadence of things, like Spartan Assault … But in terms of the core releases for us, Halo is somewhat unique to those games [shooters] that we were talking about in that it has such a heavy character and story base to it. I think it's one of the real strengths of the franchise. People know the characters' names in the franchise."
He continued by saying, "For me, I like seeing the ability for us to get excited about a release. It kind of builds to a hype, and then it plays. I don't want to overplay or overuse the franchise. It's a franchise and an IP I expect to be around 20 years from now, much the same way Star Wars and Spider-Man and other things are. I think it has the weight that it can support that, but I think that the franchise then needs to be managed in a way that doesn't burn it out."
Spencer also emphatically agreed that it's thanks to Halo the Xbox brand is established as a console. Which is all good news for Halo fans, right? Let us know in the comments!
GameStops interview with Phil Spencer is available here. In the same interview, Spencer also commented that he finds abusive console wars "distasteful".

The Opposition spokesman on commerce and international business, Kerrie Symmonds, wants cell phone number portability for Barbadians, insisting the issue needs to be addressed urgently to improve the local business environment.
He made the call following confirmation last weekend from Jamaica's Technology Minister Phillip Paulwell that by the end of May residents of that Caribbean island would be able to move with their numbers when switching providers.
Paulwell said number portability was among the conditions the Jamaica government imposed for the LIME/Flow merger.
With the decision of the Fair Trading Commission on the merger here pending at the end of this month, Symmonds said Barbadians would be left behind if similar conditions were not attached to the US$3 billion fusion of the telecommunications companies.
"There is no logical explanation for agreeing to a number portability arrangement in Jamaica while trying to resist it in Barbados," Symmonds told Barbados TODAY.
"This goes against the grain of not only what we are trying to achieve at the CARICOM level but it goes against the grain of what we should be trying to achieve at a host nation level, because Barbados has played host to Cable & Wireless/LIME for a number of years. They have reaped enormous profits out of Barbados, and the question now has to be asked, 'why is it that they are prepared to abide by number portability elsewhere but continue to resist it down here?'"
The St James Central MP noted that the idea was considered in 2001 at the time of liberalizing the local telecommunications market, but no progress had been made.
He said the FTC now has the opportunity to give Barbadians the option.
"If you are going to have the merger, we may not be able to stop it, but the fact of the matter is that you now have to meet certain minimum standards of operations in the country," Symmonds said.
He suggested that the absence of the number portability facility would negatively affect business.
Emphasizing the importance to small and micro businesses to the Barbados economy, Symmonds said that many operators used cell phones more than landlines, and this was the principal form of contact for customers.
"So that in a real sense your number becomes part of your identity. If, however, I am not able to express my dissatisfaction with a particular service provider and end my contractual relationship with that provider and go elsewhere, I am being disadvantaged," he said.
Symmonds said there was also a need for a common standard of service across CARICOM.
"It would now be economically disadvantageous for people who are trading outside of Jamaica because of the fact that there is a higher standard of service which is being offered within Jamaica," he said.
"You can't have so many different levels of service within one market place. It is almost as if in the parish of St George in Barbados you get one type of service, but it would be accepted that you would not get it in the parish of St James. That just wouldn't make sense."

Radical utilizes its own internal UI Composition engine to add support to splash screens at application startup:
var bootstrapper = new WindsorApplicationBootstrapper<Presentation.MainView>().EnableSplashScreen()
Enabling splash screen support is as easy as calling the
EnableSplashScreen method on the application bootstrapper instance.
Since the splash screen content is managed using the
UI Composition engine in order to add a content to the splash screen is enough to define a partial view named
View, along with its
ViewModel if any, defined in the
Presentation.Partial.SplashScreenContent namespace will be used to populate the splash screen.
It is possible to use the
SplashScreenConfiguration class to define some splash screen settings:
SizeToContent: Determines the way the splash screen hosting window is dimensioned, the default value is
WindowStartupLocation: The splash screen startup location, the default value is
WindowStyle: The splash screen window style, the default value is
StartupAsyncWork: Defines the work that should be executed asynchronously while the splash screen is running;
Height: Defines the Height of the splash screen window if the
SizeToContent value is
Manual or
Width; otherwise is ignored;
Width: Defines the Width of the splash screen window if the

Like a true Gentlemen
Apple has Tweeted out that Professor Layton and the Curious Village will be heading to the Western app store soon. While not giving any other details, this is likely to be a localization of the Japanese mobile release from earlier in the year. Since that port also had an Android release, I wouldn't be too surprised to see it coming to Google's popular OS as well.
As for now, we'll just have to do what the Tweet says and stay tuned. As great as it is to get an HD version of this game in the West, I could definitely go for a six-game compilation on Switch.

Mom Tested Summer Fashion
Summer is almost here and I am so excited to share some of my favorite pieces and styles for the season.
I also have tips and tricks to hack some trends to make them wearable in #momlife. Because sometimes style isn't always practical.
I love a great pair of high-waisted jeans. The only problem is, they aren't always that comfortable! I was on a mission to find high-waisted denim I could wear all day—because, c'mon, moms don't have time for wardrobe changes—that was super versatile, comfortable and had an element of stretch (because moms have to bend down a lot).
The winner is…
Showing some shoulder is super sexy and so on trend. Add some floral prints and you look like you are rocking the boho chic trend! However, off-the-shoulder tops sometimes feel like they are literally falling off, and kids can also tug too hard and leave you in an embarrassing scenario. I have tried countless tops and found this style from Show Me Your Mumu! It comes in so many different prints, and get this—you can wear it three different ways!
Show Me Your Mumu Heidi Ruffle Top
I have to say, rocking a boho dress makes me feel like my pre-mama self, carefree and feminine. There are so many amazing ones out there, but not all of them are easy to wash (very important), some crease easily (no-go in mom life), and some have really pretty but big slits (super awkward with kids). This one by Free People is the perfect midi length, is made from a great breathable fabric and has a pretty flattering shape. It comes in a few different colors, too!
I was on the search for one pair of cute low booties I could wear with everything that worked for day and night. As a mom, the less options I have to get ready in the morning the better—because it's all about streamlining. Ambitious, right?
Well, after a lot of online orders and returns and visiting quite a few department stores awkwardly stalking the shoe departments, I found 'em! These Jeffrey Campbell booties come in any color you can possibly imagine. I say start with the black ones because they go with everything. I promise. They have amazing cutouts so they work for summer and spring, and you can pair them with maxi skirts and dresses, high-waisted denim shorts, jeans, trousers, anything and everything! I have worn them all day and then into the evening with the ease of sporting my Nikes. You're welcome!
I'm kind of an accessories junkie. I believe the right necklace, earrings or rings can elevate any outfit and take your basics to another level. If you buy inexpensive, trendy pieces you can save money and add color in your accessories instead of with your clothes, which is way tougher on your wallet.
This one is from Free People and looks so cute with a T-shirt and shorts. It adds instant style to any outfit.
These earrings by Souci Tassels come in every color of the rainbow, they are super weightless, and they are easy to put on without a mirror (which I have to do countless times).
I love necklaces! They add something extra to a low neckline and are a great way to infuse your personality into your look. It was hard to pick just one, but I settled on this really fun gold chain I found at Free People. It is simple and can be adjusted to different lengths so you can rock the choker trend one day and have a simple classic chain the next.
Summer wouldn't be summer without the perfect swimsuit. Since having my two boys, as much as I love a two-piece, I have been searching for one-pieces that are feminine, youthful and stylish. Cue Show Me Your Mumu. They have an amazing selection of so many different styles and prints, but this particular one resonated with me because it hits so many trends and still covers up the areas that can be less than perfect post-childbirth. It can be worn three different ways and is so comfortable, and I truly gave it the real mom test. I took my boys swimming while wearing it and there were no embarrassing mishaps. Sold!
Thanks for stopping by SamSoMuch

We talk about Yoga eventually becoming a daily practice, and I've written and talked about this idea a lot before (see previous YC Blog The Yoga Challenge), but what happens when things get stale, when you lose momentum or feel like you're getting stuck? It happens with everything, yes even your beloved time on the Yoga mat, the dreaded 'rut' can sneak up, and you may find yourself feeling out of sorts – but I thought Yoga was magic and perfect and my true love! Don't worry, it still can be, but like with anything, there are peaks and troughs, and there are ways to navigate this life-long relationship with your Yoga practice…
A daily practice is best, my teacher Sharon Gannon says, "like brushing your teeth or taking a shower", it works best if you commit to it every day. Every day we encounter many different experiences, people, events, thoughts, emotions and physical stresses, and the practice of Yoga serves to help us process all of these through it's systematic approach of asana, pranayama, meditation, cleansing practices, etc. So you could think of your daily practice as a being a shower for your whole 'being', not just the outside dirt, but all the subtle layers including the mental, emotional and energetic.
You feel it yourself, right? The cleanse that occurs during your practice leaves you feeling more clear, lighter, more connected to your true self, and on a good day, truly blissful. You could do it once a week, and the effect might even feel more profound on that day, but the work will generally be more difficult, and as we chip away day by day with our practices, our body and mind begin to remember much more easily, the way towards balance, harmony, peace and bliss.
So what happens when you've been practicing daily for a while, and things feel like they are grinding to a halt, or that you're not progressing, or you lack the motivation to get onto your mat? Is that it? Have you reached all that you are going to reach on this path and you've got to find a new way to feel good…?! Hell no…! It may just mean that, like with anything else, you need a sea change.
Enter the world of workshops, immersions and retreats. I myself remember the days when I felt intimidated to sign up to a 'workshop'. It sounded like you needed to know what you were doing before you should join one of those things – 'Am I good enough?' – was the foreboding question.
Once I had plucked up the courage and started stepping into the world of workshops, immersions, retreats, and finally teacher trainings, I never looked back. I realized that it was in these precious settings, where a focus was placed on deeper learning, breaking things down, and taking it further than otherwise may have felt safe or supported in a regular yoga class, that the magic really began to unfold, and my practice began to blossom into something else entirely.
Immersions and retreats were a way, not only to deepen my own practice, learn more, and have a chance to explore new territory in my practice and myself, but also a place and time to fill my cup right back to the brim again. I'll never forget the feeling of returning to London (where I was living at the time) after a Yoga immersion retreat in Morocco, and feeling as though my head was floating high above all the morning commuters on the underground, the feeling had stayed long after that final Savasana!
And so, we find that there is a place for all types and forms of practice, and that although daily is best, that we also sometimes need a boost, a refresher, and time to really dive deep and fill ourselves all the way up again. It's from this place of a much richer and fuller experience, such as time away on retreat or an immersion or workshop, that we take our practice to another level, and refuel that fire and passion within us that we remember feeling in our very first and most potent experiences of the Yoga practice. Just like any relationship, the honeymoon period may fade, and it takes commitment and work to keep the fire alive. But if we look at it from the other side – that 'work' required is to take the opportunity to spend a little more quality time on our mats, perhaps away from the day-to-day of our regular lives – doesn't sound so bad, right?
And so, as Yoga teachers, we offer these experiences to our 'students', to anyone who is willing and eager to learn, to take their practice to the next level, to enjoy the longer lasting benefits of their practice (think hours of Savasana bliss long after you've left the mat!), because we've been through it all ourselves, and because we desperately want for everyone who is on this path, to have the chance to reap the amazing array of benefits that the Yoga practice offers us, trickling into all aspects of our lives.
So are you ready to take the leap? Are you eager to learn how to start living a more uplifted life on all levels? Join us for a workshop, immersion or retreat. We always welcome all 'levels' of experience, and all walks of life. There is no judgment on the yoga mat, and the practice and its benefits are there to be experienced by all who have the strong desire.
See you on the mat,
Amy xx

BBC's Fake Britain On 'Fake Frontline'
Is the Frontline you just bought the real thing? You may have seen a piece on Fake Britain last night (25/7/2018) about 'fake Frontline'.

2016 was a big year; 3 massive projects that started with an ultra-marathon in the Australian Alps in Bright and then continued with two epic trips on the bike, firstly across Australia and then around New Zealand. As a married man, however, there are only so many of these you can responsibly do, so in 2017 I have scaled-back, but I haven't not stopped the bicycle touring.
I have had three trips so far this year, one back home in England for about a week, one here in Australia in the Snowy mountains, also about a week long, and a two-week tour of the North Island of New Zealand, finishing-off what I started in 2016.
For the last trip of 2017, I am heading back into the Australian Alps, for some more pain. There were some serious climbs on my last trip up to Mount Kosciuszko, and I am expecting this to be just as hard, if not harder.
My wife is in Mexico over Christmas, so this is my first Christmas ever on my own, so why not suffer up some mountains?
I find that I just can't help myself with my bicycle tours. I tell myself that I am going to take it a bit easier on my next one, and then I just can't resist turning it into a proper physical examination. The next one is no different. The original plan was to take the train out to Wodonga and do the very well-cycled route from there to Falls Creek and through to Bairnsdale and the train ride home. At just over 300Km, with a bit of hiking in between, this would have been a fairly leisurely ride over 5-6 days, despite climbing up the highest road in Australia (this is still my contingency route in case of poor weather).
However, I just couldn't help myself. With work being quiet over the Christmas break, it seems an ideal opportunity to spend a little extra time in the mountains. With my wife also being away, I have a nice little window.
The route snakes its way back to Melbourne, and at over 700Km it means that I have to average about 100Km a day. This wouldn't really be an issue normally, but with huge climbs pretty much every day on the road, mounting up to over 12 000 metres over the whole trip, I am expecting a real challenge, especially as there will be unsealed sections also.
I really can't describe why I do this to myself, I just enjoy the physical workout as well as the traveling aspect of bicycle touring. In New Zealand, on the longer trip, I took things easier, but I still had huge days there, especially towards the end of the trip. The pain and suffering is almost addictive.
To get an idea how potentially exhausting this trip could be, my last trip to New Zealand was about 1000Km long and had a total ascent of just over 7000m. This trip is just over 700Km long and has a total ascent of nearly 12,500m!
The route takes me up to some of the highest towns in Australia, and the most popular ski slopes in Winter, like Falls Creek and Mount Hotham. I actually go up and down a number of times to over 1500m over the course of the trip.
The concern on this trip is not rain or cold, but heat. You just never know at this time of year, it could actually be quite cold in places when I'm high up, but sometimes temperatures can soar to the mid-thirties or even over 40 degrees. If it hits these highs, there is more concern than just heat exhaustion. Forest fires are very common here in Australia, and you definitely don't want to be riding through one.
Of course the other concern - rather pain in the neck - will be the bush flies at this time of year. Without doubt the worst thing about Australia, are these damn bush flies and I am expecting lots of them outside of the city. I had a net to cover my face for my tour through Australia last year, but fortunately never had to use it, as it was winter. I think I might have to this time, although a recent practice run in the ranges a little closer to home gave cause for optimism as there weren't that many flies around.
With any luck though, all I'll get is cooler temperatures up in the mountains and the opportunity to pack a bit lighter. Not since the Northern Territory have I ridden in genuinely hot weather. If anything, I have erred to the weather being wintry than summery (even in England in Summer).
It will be camping all the way on this trip, there aren't any hostels up there, just some over-priced hotels. With any luck there will be the odd creek along the way so I can have a bath. Should be a cracker, although I'm not sure my legs are going to appreciate it very much.

New year is a time for reflection. Not only reflecting back on New Year's Eve and all the things you may regret from that night, or on your month of gluttony (I swear, one more Lindor will push me over the edge), but a look back over the year that has gone by. I can only say after reflection, 2013 has been my most momentous year so far- here's why:
1. Graduating.
University was always the end goal for me growing up. My father's mantra is 'Education is the ticket to life' and so getting my degree in English Literature from Lancaster University was a milestone that I had to pass. My years at university have shaped who I am and I made some amazing friends and memories whilst there. Third year was one of the hardest in my life, because of my dissertation. Writing about the universality of literature regardless of geography and race and based on a shared human response was a subject so close to my heart, very personal and an issue I approached with real passion. Getting it right therefore, was paramount. I'm glad I could stand up on the stage as a testimonial to my parents continual support and love and make them proud.
2. Prague
In April, me and university friends were transported to the Gothic fairytale city of Prague to celebrate a friends 21st. It was all black tie, speckles of snow and looking out across the Charles Bridge. It's one of my favourite cities I've visited so far and getting to explore it with the guys from uni made it all the more fun. Whether it was sipping the amazing hot chocolates from a rooftop bar or dolling up for the ball at the Monastery- I will definitely be back- if only to have another trdul!
3. India
August saw me fly out to India. It had always been a place that fascinated me, for it's vibrancy in culture, excellent cuisine and romance. A module I'd taken at university: the Postcolonial Indian novel, only fuelled my curiosity further and I took to consuming everything that mentioned the place. So, when the chance arose to work for a Southern Indian newspaper based in Bangalore, I jumped! It was the most amazing experience where I met some of the craziest, most interesting people and saw and did things I never thought I would. It was a humbling and eye-opening experience at times, but one that made me very sad when it ended. It was also amazing to get work published in a different country! I will certainly go back to that place and regretfully, I have to admit that every travellers' cliche is entirely true. I did find myself- blah de blah, blah.
4. Dream Job
Whilst in India, I had my final interview for an internship position at Random House, one of the most recognised publishing houses in the entire world. Over a questionable Skype connection, I chatted with Fiona Mcintyre, the MD for Ebury Publishing. After putting the phone down, I sat back and thought- no way have I got this job, all I've done is go on about India! Luckily that as not the case and the next week I was informed I'd got the job! It felt good that all my hard work, summers doing work experience and investing time in writing outside my course had actually paid off. Once again the support of my family and friends were invaluable in making my dream job a reality.
5. Moving to London
Firmly a city girl, moving to London was a very exciting prospect for me. Growing up in Manchester and relishing any chance to explore cities around the world, London was the perfect city to move to after three years at the very sleepy Lancaster. It's a city that's always alive. Everywhere you go seems to be a totally different microworld. I love that you can hop on a tube and -whoosh- you've gone from the buzz of Leicester Square to the Bohemia of Camden Town. Of course, the rent's a killer and the commute can be tiresome. But even if you're skint, grab a cup of coffee (even if it the most expensive city in the world to buy one), wander around one of the amazing museums and people watch. So far, I'm loving it here. I have an amazing set of housemates, friends and connecting with family I never had much of a relationship with. I can't wait to see what else London will bring.
I can only hope 2014 is even better.
Happy New Year!

Can I Wear a Pinstriped Suit Yet?
Pinstripe suits are a good business choice for anyone. Chalk stripes are among my favorites (featured here) assuming they're in a conservative color like charcoal or navy. If you're in law,politics, or finance in the Triangle, a more subtle pinstripe is the go-to. Leave the black pinstripes and stark chalk stripes for New York, unless you're 100% able to pull it off with out being off-putting... Please avoid the cheap looking pinstriped "suits" (slacks are a different matter) that have stripes less than an 1/8inch apart. I see these all the time at the latest department store sale and clearance rack. Not to be a jerk, but please know that some patterns just look cheap and ill-timed, and lastly dude, its usually $89 for a reason. Just call us or text us a picture and one of our stylists/fit advisors can advise you-its free.
Fun Fact: Did you know that the pinstripe suit is theorized to have originated from banking uniforms? One director of a Saville Row tailoring house states "In the 19th Century on the High Street, striped trousers were worn in the city with a morning coat, and each bank identified themselves with a different type of stripe" .
Lastly, do remember that pinestriped ensembles are slightly less malleable in terms of what shirt/tie you can pair. Your best bet is to go with ancrisp white shirt featuring a spread collar, patterned tie (NOT geometric shapes or stripes) and a smart pair of captoe or wing-tipped oxfords. Text our iStyling number at 919.951.4755 for details on where to grab a pair!

Part of the mission of the Asheville Chamber Music Series is to expand the audience for chamber music in our community. In keeping with that mission ACMS created a robust Educational Outreach Program to reach out to the next generation, expand music opportunities for area students, and inspire a lifelong love of music.
Concert Access
To make world class chamber performances accessible to families and students alike we offer free admission for youth under age 25 to all ACMS concerts at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Asheville (subject to availability at time of concert, no reservations). Youth under age 25 can purchase tickets to our Diana Wortham Theatre concerts for $5 (purchase from DWT).
ACMS In Public Schools
ACMS is proud to sponsor the local Opal Quartet to work in area public schools. Members of the Opal String Quartet assists school string instructors by providing "hands on" instruction, as well as inspiring performances to students in the strings program.
ACMS In Public Schools works with Asheville and Buncombe County Intermediate, Middle and High Schools including: TC Roberson HS, Koontz IS, Valley Springs MS; AC Reynolds HS, Cane Creek MS; North Buncombe HS, Windy Ridge IS, N. Buncombe MS; and Erwin HS and Erwin MS.
The program has had a remarkable impact. Paul Zinke, music teacher at T.C. Roberson HS, Valley Springs MS and Koontz IS commented on how the posture, bow holds, intonation and general musicality of his students have improved as a result of these collaborations with professional musicians.
Master Classes
Every year ACMS arranges master class opportunities with select guest ensembles. In these music master classes, the highly proficient artists work with a small ensemble of students in front of an audience. The intention is to provide a learning opportunity for performers as well as observers. New ideas are often presented to the students and concepts are expressed in a different manner from what the students are accustomed to which frequently results in an "ah-ha" moment or experience.
These classes are open to the public and are typically free of charge. They provide a new way of experiencing music for performers and audience members alike, and the chance to see a master teacher at work.

09.33 Monday 29 October 2018
October has been a tumultuous month for global equities and could be heading towards the worst month for 3 years. As happens so often when the market gets spooked, many investors look towards safe havens to protect themselves in uncertain times. Traditionally, gold, treasury bonds and currencies like the Yen and the Swiss Franc are considered as safe havens, but a new player may be entering the arena.
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have been known for their wild volatility since their inception with huge peaks and troughs, but this foreboding period for equities has seen the cryptos hold their value in an uncharacteristic manner. From early September, Bitcoin has seen its most stable period seemingly unaffected by market conditions that have rocked other investment vehicles.
When compared with major global indices, Bitcoin has outperformed the NASDAQ by 8%, the FTSE by nearly 5% and the DAX by nearly 7%.
Whilst this current trend remains an intriguing option for investors, there are still at least two points to consider.
Firstly, cryptocurrencies are still in their infancy. Although Bitcoin was introduced in 2009, it did not reach high volume trading and common place acceptance by the investment community until the past 2-3 years and within this period its volatility has seen lows of $806 and highs of $19,587 in less than a year. This lack of historical data may cause investors looking to crypto as a safe haven to take somewhat of a leap of faith.
Secondly, sometimes the traditional methods are the best way to go. In the same period that Bitcoin has remained relatively stable over the course of month, gold has still bettered the cryptocurrency, perhaps signifying that general market sentiment is still not quite ready to ditch its staple havens just yet.

Derby Day
What a day! Derby Day at Flemington with Myer, was a blast!! I love this time of year so much. Spring Racing brings so much excitement & celebration into the air. So many smiles, laughs and SO MUCH insane fashion!!
I was fortunate to have the incredible Elliot Garnaut (@elliotgarnaut) style me for the day. I wore an Alex Perry dress (@alexperry007), with Tony Bianco heels (@tonybianco), Prada eyewear and carried a Moschino clutch (@moschino). My hat was custom made by the very talented Ezara/J (@ezaraj) and my jewels were by Bulgari (@bulgariofficial ). I felt so special wearing their romantic pieces. There were utterly stunning.
Hair & make up by the dreamy duo, Marie Uva (@marieuva) & Chantelle Baker (@chantellebaker)
It was an incredible day to kick of what is going to be an epic Spring Carnival & I can't wait for the next race day trackside!

A beautiful Spring day in Oxlip Wood
Sunday 21st April was the day designated for a Springtime saunter in Oxlip wood, in aid of Sudborough village church.
Village residents were invited to come along to experience the woodland environment first hand and gathered ready for the tour at 2.30 p.m
Gerald headed up the tour which took them to the centre of the wood where he explained the basic principles of the Management Plan we are currently getting up and running, slowly!
An Oxlip in Oxlip Wood
An example of the namesake for the wood provided a photo opportunity for those who'd come equipped with cameras. A beautiful false Oxlip in full flower (so called as it is in reality a hybrid)
Setting off along one of the narrow woodland tracks, made by the deer, the group picked their way among the bluebells.
Orchids in Oxlip Wood
Occasionally everyone would stop to look more closely at something of particular interest found by one of the group, such as an Orchid.
Bluebells in Oxlip Wood
However the main event and star of the show were the bluebells, which were beautiful to behold in most place and spectacular in their display in other areas.
One of the more quirky points of interest within the wood is a tree with a large platform, or what's left of it, at about 30 feet up the tree trunk. There's also the remains of a ladder that once provided access to the platform.
History in place in Oxlip Wood
We call the tree the 'Home Guard tree' because it was originally a look-out point during the second world war which makes you appreciate how much lower the trees all around must have been then!
You can almost hear Captain Mainwaring shouting "what do you mean you don't like heights Pike, you stupid boy!"
The village party included people of all ages from babes in arms to those who were quite unsteady on their feet. However none of them was going to miss out on the wonders of the Spring saunter in Oxlip wood – no fear!
The opportunity to walk in unspoilt ancient woodland is not something that's usually available to most people and the opportunity our woodland saunter provided seemed much appreciated.
All in all, a most enjoyable afternoon was had by us all. An event we hope to repeat next year. Let us know if you'd like to be invited.
Why not come along to our 2015 Bluebell walk? Visit the Events page to find out more.

The line between actor and musician has been graciously blurred in the last five years. Jeff Bridges' Oscar win for his turn as Bad Blake in Crazy Heart was absolutely deserved as he poured his heart, soul and -- most importantly -- talent into that role. Deschanel, like Bridges, has sang before in one of her roles, the charming Jovie in 2003's Elf.

Some good news today out of American Werewolf Academy camp: Apparently, the band's been getting some radio love both domestically and across the pond.
The song "Company of Owls," off the band's new disc, Triceratops (which Jesse Hughey diligently reviewed in this wee's paper), has popped up on the playlist of New Jersey's WFMU. And, perhaps more impressive, this U.K. Internet radio show starts each broadcast with AWA's "Rock Show Tonight," from the band's Devil, Spit It Out album.
High fives all around, fellas.

On occasions, my husband takes overnight business trips. To prevent loneliness, he often invites me to go along with him. Whenever I discover what city we will be visiting, I immediately start researching it. For instance, I map out landmarks we've never seen, restaurants with good reviews, entertainment options, and hotels that look appealing. By the time we get in the car, board the plane, or get on the train, every minute of our trip is already planned out. If your spouse travels frequently for work, consider mixing business with pleasure from time to time. On this blog, you will discover how to make the most of an upcoming business trip.

Colace is a brand name of docusate sodium, which is the salt of a long chain
fatty acid, more commonly known chemically as a soap. It comes as pills or
as a liquid. It is very cheap. The liquid form tastes bitter like soap,
which is why I only use it as a laxative if the child can swallow pills or
has a g-tube.
The liquid form is used for ears. It is viscous enough to stay in place. It
softens the wax (or feces) by adding moisture. It lubricates. Its primary
effect may be to "dissolve" the adhesion of dry wax to skin so that pulling
out the wax does not tear off fragile skin, like pulling off a scab.
The other commonly used compounds for softening wax are Ceruminex
(Triethanolamine) which is an alcohol like compound, or hydrogen peroxide at
half strength. Water alone works reasonably well and I have seen a Water-Pik
(tooth cleaning device) used to soften and irrigate wax from the ear canal.
I rarely use any of these methods.

Subject: Re: Cerumen impaction
A couple more questions... (Sorry - I am a slow thinker):
First, [before reading this, please make sure you are seated in a seat with
arm-rests so that you don't fall to the floor, stunned by my ignorance], I
have just googled Colace quickly... Told you - I did not know it... The
entries are for a laxative... Are we talking about faecal impaction in the
ear?... Seriously - I now really need to know precisely what, how and, for
Pete's sake, why, this is used for wax impaction...
Second, quick survey... Let's see how many of you respond...
Of your past cases of a child with, say viral URTI, with ears that have
cerumen obstructing your view and in whom you have decided it was worth the
trouble to remove the cerumen and in whom you have then succeeded in
removing it... Take 100 such cases... In how many did you then prescribe
antibiotics and in how many did you not? What I am trying to find out is
whether in a case who is unwell enough for you to consider it's worth having
a look at the TMs, but it's a hassle, once you have looked, do you often
enough decide NOT to give antibiotics to make it worthwhile to keep

Creative plans take flight!
Your daily horoscope is here! It's Friday! Better yet — Fri-yay! The Moon is in Aries and the Sun in Scorpio who is joined by Mercury and Jupiter. The Moon looks as though it is swaddled like a baby held by Neptune, where dreams, visions and fantasies for the future look at tradition as if to say, "It's time for a change!"
Aries loves a good switch in the energy. If there's ever a sign that was born for fresh starts, it's the ram. The Ram believes in possibilities and it's own potential. It doesn't matter how big the mountain, when Aries faces a giant, this sign says "Bring it on!"
A Scorpio Sun is like a parent with a determined and talented child looking for ways to allow room for growth. Add in Mercury for some amazing communication, the day is geared to be one of amazing revelations and sharp conversations that stirs things up.
The question to ask yourself today is "What is it that I want to build that I'm not paying attention to?" This can by your relationships, business, career, or maybe you want to go back to school and start over in a new venture. Even emotional changes can stir things up in a good way. Is there a friendship that you need to reconcile?
Whatever you have on your journey, it's a great day for you to move forward in your dreams and take things where you feel most passionate and excited about life.
Tonight and early tomorrow morning, there will be a full moon in Taurus and with all full moons, it is a time for cleansing and new beginnings.
What does this mean for your zodiac sign according to astrology?
Some zodiac signs will write more and dream more but they will be more action-oriented instead of just saying what they want to see happen. Others will find new energy and determination to do the things that they have wanted to do but didn't feel was possible. A few will stop allowing their mood to bring them down and look for ways to change negatives into positives.
Zodiac signs that benefit from a Moon with a power day are Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, and Pisces — Aquarius a double boost for you!
Best activities to do today include entertaining, parties, and get-togethers.
Look for your zodiac sign below to find out what's in store according to your horoscope for today.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Tarot of the day: The Empress
Aries, you won't believe how powerful of a day today can be for you. In your house you have Uranus, but Neptune and Mercury are sending you love and good vibes too. Spend your day doing things that require you to show off your best skill set, the power of communication. You may find that the more you are able to explain your ideas, the more motivated others are to help you see them come to pass. The Empress card means you're about to get spoiled!
Power color: Red for influence.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Tarot of the day: Death
Taurus, you might be less inclined to share your thoughts verbally, but your actions will speak louder than words. Today, put things on paper. Are you spending more time with someone you care about on a romantic level? Things move forward in a positive way. Someone has something to say, and this could involve their feelings for you. The Death card says there may be some resistance to change things but things are moving in that direction, so why fight it?
Power color: Pink for passion.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Tarot of the day: The Hierophant
Gemini, you may receive an offer that feels more like a compromise than something that works in your favor. If you've been thinking of things in one way but they are turning out in another, then don't ignore the red flags. There's a way around any situation and you can find the strength you need to overcome it but first, find someone that you can talk things over with to see what it is that you need to do.
Power color: Purple for purpose.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Tarot of the day: Justice
Cancer, good things are coming your way and it's because of how you have handled matters in the past. The Justice card can be a karmic card that means your good deeds will be returned with interest. A person you care about may need your help or advice that only you are able to give because of previous similar experience.
Power color: Gold for success.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Tarot of the day: The High Priestess
Leo, you may experience a little bit of insecurity early in the day, but ignore the voices of self-doubt when they come chattering along. Opportunity knocks and it's easy to wonder if you're ready now or if you should wait for a better time. Pick up a blank sheet of paper and write down all your negative thoughts, then shred it and throw it away.
Power color: Green for prosperity.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Tarot of the day: The Star
Virgo, good things come to those who wait but hard work never hurt anyone. An opportunity for a fresh start is around the corner, you might not be sure where to look, but when you're doing what needs to be done, luck has a way of finding you.
Power color: Yellow for good fortune.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Tarot of the day: Ace of Wands
Libra, your love of family and community have your attention turning towards big plans for the weekend. With lots to do, you may need to depend on more than just caffeine to keep you buzzing along. Be sure to leave tasks that aren't urgent for another day so you can enjoy what you love. Today, focus on making memories that last.
Power color: Pink for faith.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Tarot of the day: The Star
Scorpio, all eyes on you as you take the lead. Your instinctive reasoning helps another person avoid an unpleasant outcome. You may find yourself in the middle of a few projects but one will close out sooner than expected. You may run into an old friend that you haven't seen for some time.
Power color: Black for power.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Tarot of the day: The Moon
Sagittarius, if you are feeling unclear about your current situation, step back and gather up your thought. Things progress in a new direction and it's clear that you are interested, but perhaps there's a need for you to ground yourself so that you know what steps will work for you and others.
Power color: White for clarity.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Tarot of the day: Strength
Capricorn, put your best foot forward. Someone you know may be in the mood to meet and catch up on old times. Talking or thinking about the past can bring back memories that you had forgotten about. Reflecting on the past is great when you have someone to compare notes with.
Power color: Brown for grounding.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
Tarot of the day: The World
Aquarius, someone that you love and are looking to help may not be open to receive your assistance. Perhaps you need to find another way to be there. Listening and giving encouraging words may be the thing to do.
Power color: Blue for trust.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Tarot of the day: The Hermit
Pisces, something that catches your attention may also catch you off guard. Although it's easy to dismiss that you are meant for this opportunity, don't allow self-doubt to sink in. You're in the right place for a reason.
Power color: Orange for energy.

I use Microsoft Outlook at my teaching job each day. I can help you learn how to send and manage email and utilize the calendar features, either on a computer or in the Outlook app on your mobile device. Hello!

I really enjoy Outlook. I taught Outlook enterprise wide as part of the company's technology training when working in corporate America. I have since stepped out of that to help in the community. Tutoring in Outlook does have some cautions to it. So, let me say that from the start. These cautions however should not keep you from seeking at least some form of tutoring. In a corporation, the setup and configuration of Outlook on individual laptops and desktops, and also the associated company mail servers vary in layout, appearance, and privacy/security. Many companies purposefully do not [more]

It's starting to get warmer outside (well, not today, but soon!), which means it's a perfect time to show off our beautiful campus! We have a number of visit options throughout the semester for students at all stages of the college search process.
Our Game Day event, scheduled for Saturday, March 3, is a perfect time to see our athletes in action. Stop by our tailgate, grab a bite to eat, and learn more about Hood!
On Saturday, March 24, at our Spring Open House, students will have the opportunity to learn more about Hood's outstanding academic programs, student life, athletics, and financial aid. This event is geared more towards sophomores and juniors beginning their college search, but is open to students of all ages.
For those students who have already applied and been accepted to Hood, our Accepted Students' Day on Saturday, April 7 is a terrific option to get last minute questions answered and confirm a decision on attending Hood. Students will sit in on mini-courses with professors and small groups with current Hood students to learn more about what it's truly like to be a Hood Blazer – not to mention, incoming freshmen could meet their future roommate!

SIX QUICK, SIMPLE AND EASY SNACK IDEAS to keep you full, happy + HEALTHY!
Although this snack resembles a headless oozing cockroach we can assure you it'll be the sweetest treat you have ever tried and you will wonder how you lived so long without it.
I'm sure you will agree the simplest ideas can often be the best and this one is the simplest to assemble. Pick a good fresh medjool date which are available from most good supermarkets, cut it open like performing a small operation not all the way through, remove the pit and stuffed with whichever nut butter you love best. We find Almond the tastiest, but Cashew butter, Peanut butter or even Pumpkin Seed Butter fantastic. Make sure you only use the 100% nut butters without sugar or palm oil added (in store from £1.99 a jar) and for an extra treat a sprinkle of cinnamon on top with not only add to the taste but add Curcumin into the snack for a extra glucose reducing ingredient!
Snack #2 - SPICY RAW NUT + SEED MIX
Raw nuts are an easy way to have a protein snack. But they can get a little boring and dry at times.
We love to pick our favourite nuts and seeds like almonds, cashews, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds etc, mix them in a bowl add a small spoon of raw coconut oil and stir then add some spice. We love cayenne, oregano and chilli flakes. Add some burst of sweetness with goji berries and raw coconut chips or for some added super protein goodness a sprinkle of chia seeds and a touch of algae powder such as spirulina to make you pretty nuts about nuts!
Go one step further and eat it with some chopped up avocado mmmmmmmm delish!
Snack #3 - BEAN MEDLEY
Beans beans good for the heart... If you know our menu you will understand our love of beans. A bean medley is easy to do and keeps well in the fridge. Perfect for preparing the evening befor and taking to work the following day.
We like to mix a combo of different beans such as chickpeas, butter beans, bortolli etc and then mix in some crunchy veg like peppers etc. Throw a few raw spinach leaves in for some added iron and drizzle over a mix of olive oil, lemon juice and a herb. Mixed herbs is great, chilli flakes are even better!
Top the dish with fresh herbs such as coriander and parsley for some heavy metal detoxification :)
Keep it in a jar, shake it like a polaroid picture and you have a fab and filling snack that keeps well is cheap to make and transport.
Snack #4 - BANANA, NUT BUTTER RICE CAKES
These divine little treats are very filling and very easy to put together. The rice cakes we love best are the Kallo Buckwheat Super Seed Gluten Free Cakes (in store for £1.49)
Simply pick your nut butter (we find the meridian 100% crunchy peanut butter is best) Slice and layer your banana and for an extra treat a sprinkle of raw cacao powder or cinnamon is fantastic!
For those on the go, add a rice cake on top to keep it all together and wrap some cling around it.
You can then reveal it ready to go at work and watch onlookers drool! :)
Snack #5 - HUMMUS + CRUDITES
Hummus or Houmous or however you want to personally say / spell it is packed full of protein from the little pea of the chick variety. Ensure you pick a good one that doesn't have nasties like whey powder and unnecessary additives packed in there or for something uber clean simply make your own.
Ingredients required: chickpeas 1 carton (better than a tin, many of them are lined with bpa) , a couple of dollops of tahini paste which is a sesame seed paste (in store for £2.49 a jar) garlic as much as you like, lemon juice, himalayan pink salt (in store for £2.99) olive oil to get the consistency you require and voila after a whizz with a blender there is your hummus. To go one step further for a professionally creamy finish, first boil the chickpeas for 30 mins then shell them before using. Its time consuming but worth it. The hummus will keep in a glass jar in the fridge for around a week in theory although most people have eaten it before then!
For an added extra variety, split the hummus into two and mix spice into one of them (we love harissa, but cayenne would work too) this mixes up the taste and also adds curcumin which should be in everyones diet these days!
What to dip in:
We love Red Pepper, Mange tout, Raw Carrot, Cucumber for a good combo of taste and crunch. But we also love a good raw broccoli spear or asparagus or a dollop of hummus in a kale or red cabbage leaf wrapped up like a pretty hummus veg wrap.
Just remember breath mints if you have an afternoon engagement!
Here's the quickest, easiest and simplest snack of them all... and our absolute go-to snack of choice, especially on busy days with limited time!
Avocados have more soluble fibre than other fruit and contain a number of useful minerals such as iron, copper and potassium - more potassium than bananas infact! We absolutely love cutting open an avo and spooning it out! Add some cracked black pepper, olive oil, cayenne pepper or even honey to jazz it up and give it something different each time! Noma noma nom!
