Okay, so I'm not some professional social media marketer, nor do I want to be. So I'm not saying this as an expert. But I really like this book about Instagram. Instagram is a lot of fun, and there are a lot of interesting things on there. I recently started a second IG just for pictures of books I am reading or have read. A bookstagram. I like making things pretty or bright. I am not a subdued girl. And this book provides lots of pretty images to give you ideas, and features tips and challenges to stretch your creative muscles on Instagram.

Ever take a look around your heart and notice something amiss?
A few cobwebs collected, weaving across dark corners in haphazard fashion,
corners dusty with neglect either purposeful or accidental?
Why not offer them up, let the Spirit blow through and sweep them away,
breathe new life into you today?
Listen to a beautiful song about this very thing by Shaun Groves:

True enough, Wellness Core dog food is one of the trusted names when it comes to well-balanced, nutrient-complete canine diets.

Company Information
Wellness Core is a brand of dog food that is manufactured and distributed by Wellness Pet Food which is under the umbrella organization of WellPet LLC. WellPet believes in the wellbeing of pets being at the heart of what the organization does. It is for this reason that the organization, as a group, strives to provide the pet-loving world only the best, healthiest, and most natural pet products.
In 1997, a team of food scientists, veterinarians, and animal nutrition experts established the Wellness Pet Food, the company behind Wellness Core. By 2004 the brand is already recognized as the leading dog food brand when it comes to pet food in independent veterinary specialty retailers.
Wellness Core boasts of grain-free formulation, utilizing only the best and highest possible quality of natural ingredients in all of their meals, toppers, and treats. They are best known for their exceptionally high protein formulations and a really delicious flavor that no dog has ever turned down yet. The company, unlike some leading dog food brands, strongly believes that the key to a healthy pet is the presence of hearty animal proteins in their diets.

In May 2012, however, WellPet LLC voluntarily recalled its Wellness Complete Health Super 5 Mix for fear of salmonella contamination. In October 2012, the company again voluntarily recalled its Wellness Small Breed adult dry dog food formulation because of higher-than-usual moisture content. Recently in March 2017, it voluntarily recalled its 95% Beef canned dog food because of elevated levels of thyroid hormones. The good news is that these voluntary recalls are for other Wellness Pet products and not its Wellness Core.
Why Choose this Brand?
One of the best attributes of the Wellness Core dog food products is its high protein formulation. This underscores the brand's clear understanding of the need of pets for high-quality animal-based protein diet which closely mimics what Mother Nature has programmed them to consume. Of course, there's carbs, too. But given the preeminence of high quality animal proteins in the formulation, Wellness Core is simply the best for almost all types of dogs except those that may not benefit from a high-protein diet.
Another thing that should inspire you to get Wellness Core is the amazing array of animal proteins included in each formulation. The brand isn't content with just giving you a single animal protein. They strive to provide a variety of meats and poultry to make sure that your pet receives the best mix of nutrients delivered by these ingredients. Whereas other dog food brands typically include more plant proteins than animal proteins, Wellness dog food always emphasizes the supremacy of animal proteins.
And if you're wary of so-called allergenic grains such as soy, wheat, and corn, then you can doubly rejoice as Wellness Core dog food doesn't contain any of these. Instead, they use wholesome grains and lentils like peas and chickpeas. Apples, blueberries, carrots, kale, broccoli, spinach, and other healthy veggies and fruits are also added to provide for a more complete and more nutrient-rich formulation.
There are probiotics and joint-friendly substances as well. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids abound, although the ratio is a lot better than other dog food brands.
Ingredient Analysis
Wellness brand dog food is well-known for its exceptional use of high-quality ingredients that not only complies with current AAFCO canine dietary recommendations but also takes into consideration the evolutionary and ancestral diets of man's best friend. Unlike other dog food brands that put a lot of carbs as fillers into their formulations, Wellness Core insists on focusing more on high quality meats for its ingredients. Here's a look at the nutrient profile of Wellness dog food.
- High protein content
A typical Wellness Core dry dog food will come with crude protein content of about 35%. When this is computed to account for its dry matter weight, you get 43.75% which is definitely higher than AAFCO's minimum of 18% for maintenance and 22.5% for growth, development, and reproduction. This is way higher than dog food brands that can only manage to squeeze in a maximum of 27% in dry matter basis.
Its canned and wet dog food formulations contain even higher proteins. Its wet dog food formulation has a protein content of 9% while its canned dog food is rated at 12%. When these are adjusted to consider only the dry matter weight, its wet dog food translates to 50% dry protein while its canned dog food comes in at 54.5%. It is quite rare to find another dog food brand that can provide such levels of proteins.
But there is another story to this. Unlike other dog food brands that utilize plant proteins to increase the protein content of their formulations, Wellness Core strives to put only premium-quality animal proteins in its main ingredients. In some formulations novel proteins are also used or serve as the principal ingredient.
This can have significant implications in its grain-free formulations. The point about going grain-free is to minimize upsetting the tummy and triggering food allergies. Using novel proteins addresses both. And while many Wellness dog food products do contain chicken, most of these put chicken as secondary.
Moreover, many of its products contain more than 2 animal proteins in the ingredient list's first 5. This puts the products as a real meat-based diet for dogs; not plant-based.

- Moderate to high-fat content
Except for its canned dog food, Wellness Core products come with an average of 16 to 17 percent of fats when its dry matter weight is considered. If it's the canned dog food variety that you want to give to your pet, you're going to give it about 36.36% fats in terms of its dry matter weight. AAFCO puts the minimum at 5.5% and 8.5% for maintenance and growth-reproduction requirements, respectively. This puts Wellness dog food well in the moderate to high fat categories.
The good news is that majority of the fats that are present in the dog food are those that are healthier versions such as polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats as well as essential fatty acids. In cases where optimum DHA and EPA levels are required, fish oil for dogs is often added to augment the need for beneficial essential fatty acids.
The formulation also provides flaxseed and other sources of omega-6 fatty acids, but this is quite minimal compared to others where the ratio between omega-6 and omega-3 is unusually high. Wellness Core strives to achieve a near-ideal 4:1 ratio of these essential fatty acids.

- Low to moderate carbohydrate content
Taking the protein and fat composition of Wellness Core dog food in relation to its moisture content, we can say that the dry dog food formulation is composed of about 60% proteins and fats. Since dry dog food contains 10% moisture, this means that only 30% is geared for carbohydrates.
The same is true for its wet formulation with a combined percentage of fat and proteins at 67%, making the carbohydrate content as only 33%. As for its canned formulation, Wellness Core dog food has a combined protein-fat composition of 90.86% leaving only 9.14% for carbohydrates.
In addition to its low to moderate carbs, it also strives to use only wholesome, healthier fruits and vegetables including lentils and wholesome grains instead of allergenic ones. The mere fact that carbohydrates roughly comprise only a third of its dry matter content is enough to speak of the quality of Wellness Core dog food products.
- Micronutrients
One can always count on Wellness Core to deliver the right amounts of minerals like calcium, phosphorus, selenium, and zinc, among others to complement its vitamin formulation. Whenever appropriate, the formula also includes substances geared for optimum joint health such as chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine. Since its major composition is meat-based protein, one can also expect the completeness of the essential amino acids.
Pros & Cons
- Exceptionally high protein content with moderate amounts of fats and carbs
- Uses only high-quality animal proteins as its main ingredient
- Uses a variety of novel animal proteins in its 1st5 ingredients
- Doesn't contain corn, wheat, soy, and other potentially allergenic grains
- Exceeds AAFCO requirements for nutritionally-balanced, complete dog food
- Contains lactobacilli and other probiotic strains
- Contains glucosamine and chondroitin in many products
- A bit more on the expensive side
- Voluntary product recalls for other Wellness Pet Food products
A number of Wellness Core dog food reviews consistently rank the brand in the top spot of the growing number of commercially available dog food. This Wellness Core dog food review reinforces this evaluation of the brand by underscoring its principal strengths that include use of high quality animal proteins, grain-free formulation, delicious taste, and completeness of its nutrient composition.

Historic Preservation
William Huber has been involved in the preservation/restoration and adaptive re-use of older buildings for 35 years. His understanding of older building construction and materials allow him to readily assess the potentials for salvage, restoration and adaptation.
Older buildings often hold the potential for becoming unique and functional renovated buildings, with the benefit of preserving the historic fabric of those buildings' environs. Renovating an existing building can be more cost-effective than building new and is often more environmentally friendly than using undeveloped land and new building materials to satisfy the same building program needs.
Huber has been very involved with the Historic Preservation Tax Credit programs at both the State and Federal levels. These programs afford qualified projects an excellent funding source for rehabilitating historic structures, yielding as much as 45% of the qualified rehabilitation expenses in the form of Tax Credits. Huber has helped numerous clients qualify and apply for these credits.
Sustainable Design
Buildings consume a large portion of the planet's total energy, water, land, and material diets. There are many proven strategies available for reducing the negative impact of buildings on our environment. Because buildings have long lives, the positive effects can be huge over time.
William Huber, AIA, LEED AP, has been trained by the U. S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and is accredited as a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Accredited Professional. The USGBC program allows building designers and owners to quantitatively assess a project's sustainability. Sustainable strategies are classified as follows:
-Sustainable Sites
-Water Efficiency
-Energy and Atmosphere
-Materials and Resources
-Indoor Environmental Quality
Every project has its unique challenges and opportunities with respect to sustainability. We are committed to having the knowledge and the tools to help our clients make their buildings (new or existing) green without extraordinary or ineffective expenditures.

The ingenuity of using what you have to create beautiful and usable decor items extends to frugal woodworking projects. Rustic furnishings are present in country, cabin, cottage and vintage decor styles, and weathered barnwood is an aged wood that provides a texture and color that fits all of these styles. If weathered barnwood is not available, simulate rustic barnwood by applying an inexpensive finish to scrap wood. The finish is comprised of ingredients you already have in your kitchen.
Step 1
Pull apart a 2-inch chunk of steel wool into small pieces. Place the pieces into a recycled food jar.
Step 2
Add 1/2 cup of white vinegar. Use a craft stick to completely submerge the steel wool pieces. Place the lid on the jar and allow it to soak overnight.
Step 3
Pour 1/2 cup of boiling water into another recycled food jar. Add a tea bag and allow it to steep for at least 15 minutes. Remove the tea bag and allow the tea to cool.
Step 4
Paint your raw, untreated wood with the brewed tea mixture. Allow the tea to dry.
Step 5
Paint over the tea stained wood with the steel wool and vinegar mixture. Within half an hour, your wood will have the appearance of old barnwood.

The New York Knicks reportedly have tried to trade superstar forward Carmelo Anthony but had their offer rejected.
ESPN's Marc Stein and Chris Haynes, citing sources, reported Wednesday that it was the Cleveland Cavaliers who denied the Knicks' attempt.
LeBron James wants the Cavs' front office to give him some help, but the team doesn't have many quality trade assets aside from Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving and James himself. They already traded a first-round pick to the Atlanta Hawks for sharpshooter Kyle Korver.
Anthony has a no-trade clause in his contract but probably would waive it to play with his friend James and have a chance to win his first NBA Finals. His contract also is tough to trade because of his $24 million-plus salary through the 2018-19 season.
Cleveland has the highest payroll in the league and would need to move a large salary to take on Anthony's contract.
From a basketball perspective, Love is a better fit than Melo for the Cavs. Love, unlike Anthony, doesn't need the ball in his hands to be effective. He stretches the floor with good outside shooting and rebounds well. Cleveland's offense wouldn't flow as well with three ball-dominant players in James, Irving and Anthony.

The great culture of ancient Peru is also expressed by a legacy of a wide variety of native languages that co-exist in its territory. Spanish is the official language and is used in most of the country. Other languages have been recognized by the Constitution, such as Quechua, which is spoken in many Andean regions in different varieties, and Aimara, the predominant language of the southern Andes.
Shipibo, Ashaninka and Aguaruna, used by Amazon communities, are just some of the country's 43 native languages.
Freedom of religion is a fundamental right in Peru's culture, although Catholicism is the main religion, another legacy of the Spanish. Religious festivals have strong Spanish influence, but they are also an example of how different beliefs and religions of Peru's pre-Hispanic cultures coexist.
Festivals: The coming together of different creeds, customs and experiences have created close to 3,000 annual popular festivals in Peru, including patron saint feasts, processions, carnivals and rituals, encompassing the expression of belief in God, respect for nature and the celebration of freedom. Peruvian festivals have a mystical side to them; most of them are the result of a fusion between Catholicism and pre-Hispanic religious traditions. Repaying the earth is part of the main celebrations in all regions, and is about rewarding and recognizing the Pachamama (Mother Earth) for her endless generosity.

Recent years have seen an influx of numerous studies providing an undeniable link between childhood/chronic trauma and psychotic states. Although many researchers (i.e., Richard Bentall, Anthony Morrison, John Read) have been publishing and speaking at events around the world discussing the implications of this link, they are still largely ignored by mainstream practitioners, researchers, and even those with lived experience. While this may be partially due to an understandable (but not necessarily defensible) tendency to deny the existence of trauma, in general, there are certainly many political, ideological, and financial reasons for this as well.Many have called for the trauma and psychosis fields to join forces. So many valuable findings have come out of the trauma field that could inform practitioners and lay people alike in understanding how one might come to be so overwhelmingly distressed and behave in such seemingly strange ways (see Read, Fosse, Moskowitz, & Perry, 2014, for an informative overview of how trauma affects our bodies). Studies looking at how the non-
Over 100 years ago, Pierre Janet became the first major figure to identify and treat the vast array of the effects of trauma. In fact, he considered almost all 'psychopathology' to be the result of childhood trauma and dissociation (Janet, 1919/25). Under the large umbrella term of 'hysteria', Janet identified the following symptoms: hallucinations in all senses, fugue states, amnesia, extreme suggestibility, an odd disposition, nightmares, psychosomatic and conversion symptoms, reenactments, flashbacks, paranoia, subjective experiences of possession, motor agitation, mutism, catatonia, thought disorder (or disorganised speech), and/or double personalities (Janet, 1907/1965). He believed that treatment consisted of a phase-
For the next eight decades or so, the mental health field became more and more narrow in its focus on and recognition of trauma to the point of neglecting it completely in the more biological domains. It was not until the late 1970s, when a massive influx of veterans gained political clout and women began to speak out and be heard, that trauma was once again recognised as a major factor in extreme emotional distress. This also was the time when the DSM became psychiatry's new bible; and so, while trauma was once again recognised, it was also separated into narrowly defined disorders that included PTSD, adjustment disorders, and dissociative disorders (including multiple personality disorder, as it was then known). It was then that the modern-
So what are people talking about when they speak of 'dissociation'? Well, not too many people agree on this. It also appears as though the more professionals attempt to come to a consensus on what this term means, the more they do so in an effort to delineate it from any possible association with 'psychosis'; their attempts to define dissociation are done by disassociating.
Wikipedia defines dissociation (in the broad sense) as: 'an act of disuniting or separating a complex object into parts.' I do not believe that many mental health professionals, particularly dissociation researchers, would entirely disagree with this definition. Rather, it is the interpretation of this meaning that is a hotly debated topic within psychiatry (a general term I use to describe the entirety of the mental health field). In general, it may be used to describe a process, a multitude of symptoms, specific disorders, a division of the personality (or lack of integration), and/or a psychic defence. Many believe that it refers to disconnection from one's thoughts, feelings, environment, self, others, etc. The term is also used to refer to a process of entering a trance-
If nobody agrees on what it means, then why do we really care? Because the political implications and resulting effects on treatment options are directly related to how one interprets this meaning. We can see how this might work by looking at the DSM.
Akin to many religions throughout time, psychiatry makes up many technical terms and then creates circular and eccentric definitions to confuse lay people into believing that mental health issues can only be dealt with by an educated professional. Putting this political manoeuvring aside, I would like to focus for a moment on key terms related to the topic at hand: trauma, dissociation, dissociative symptoms, psychosis, psychotic symptoms, dissociative disorders, and schizophrenia.
Trauma: Trauma is technically defined as an event that provokes death-
Dissociation: As stated previously, very few professionals in psychiatry agree on what this term means. Instead of just saying 'absorption', 'feeling unreal', 'feeling one's surroundings are not real', 'lack of integrated sense of self', or 'detachment' (all considered in different circles as varied forms of dissociation), scholars instead argue over its meaning until it has no meaning at all. Often, it is an ideological term that is used to say 'trauma' versus 'not trauma', whether this is explicitly acknowledged or not. Therefore, when one's 'symptoms' are considered non-
Dissociative symptoms: Although dissociative symptoms are acknowledged as existing in a multitude of different DSM categories, they mostly are usurped by the dissociative disorder classifications. In this case, as I will discuss in a moment, dissociative symptoms often seem to take on the meaning of 'not psychotic' rather than having any distinct meaning in and of themselves.
Psychosis: Psychosis is another technical term with no precise meaning. It tends to refer to a state in which a person appears to not be aware of or in touch with consensual reality. This can be for five minutes or five years, but the term itself is non-
Psychotic symptoms: Most people tend to think that psychotic symptoms clearly refer to things such as hearing voices, seeing visions, having strange beliefs, or disorganised thinking/speech. However, 'psychotic symptoms' specifically refers to symptoms of psychosis. What is psychosis? Having psychotic symptoms. If you don't have psychosis, then you may have 'psychotic-
Dissociative disorders: While there are five dissociative disorders, the one that is most intertwined with the idea of psychosis is dissociative identity disorder (DID). People who might meet the criteria for DID often experience what is unarguably the core of the term 'dissociation'; namely, having a fragmented sense of self. In addition, they also experience periods where they cannot remember large gaps of time. This amnesia is certainly not an experience that is universal to many or even most individuals suffering extreme states; however, the other experiences common in DID are definitely non-
Schizophrenia: The category of schizophrenia, and all its sister disorders, is one that is assumed to be a largely biological, genetic brain disease. What differentiates it from DID? No one seems to be able to define where this distinction lies, but those in the dissociative disorder field will state that the difference is based on the existence of 'delusions' and/or 'thought disorder'. A delusion, of course, is a belief that society deems unacceptable. Yet, nobody seems to be able to explain where the line is, separating a delusion from an acceptable belief. More specifically, nobody will explain what the difference is between believing 'I have a bunch of people living inside of my body who are not me' (DID) and 'I am god' (psychotic). But questionnaires that measure dissociation use this very distinction to say whether one has dissociation or not. And then they say 'delusions are not related to dissociation' because they just ruled out dissociation by the fact that a person did not endorse an interpretation of their experience that the questionnaire-
'Thought disorder' has been convincingly described by Richard Bentall as a problem in communication, rather than an indication of any true cognitive impairment (Bentall, 2003). Yet, the theory adopted by mainstream psychiatry remains that 'thought disorder' is a neurological disease. And so, if one is considered to have DID, any indication of thought disorder is instead interpreted as 'intrusions' or 'rapid-
On the other hand, psychosis researchers solve the problem by simply saying that DID just does not exist. People who present with altered identity states and memory problems (not attributed to an actual neurological problem) are considered as just 'borderline' or 'attention-
In spite of these ideological battles, studies still have shown that individuals meeting criteria for schizophrenia endorse a greater level of dissociative symptoms than any other clinical group, discounting PTSD and dissociative disorders (Ross, Heber, Norton, & Anderson, 1989). Approximately two-
On the other hand, it has been found that dissociatively-detached individuals are not necessarily chronically psychotic and can function at a high level (Allen et al., 1997). Individuals diagnosed with DID are often able to maintain reality testing despite experiencing 'psychotic' phenomena (Howell, 2008). Another difference is that persons diagnosed with DID also report higher levels of dissociation, and more child, angry, persecutory, and commenting voices (Dorahy et al., 2009; Laddis & Dell, 2012). They also generally report a higher rate of more severe childhood trauma than any other clinical group (Putnam et al., 1986).
It is often purported that 'delusions' and 'schizophrenia' are not dissociative, when using the narrow definition of dissociation: when dissociation means dis-
I do not believe it is possible to separate psychosis and dissociation; to me this is like attempting to separate a headache and a fever when I have the flu. Where does the headache begin and the fever end? And should I focus on 'treating' my headache, fever, or maybe the virus that infected me and is creating an interconnected process of events in my body? While psychosis and dissociation are not the same thing, I believe that one does not have psychosis without dissociation or dissociation without psychosis. Often the difference simply boils down to who can frame things the way that the professional wants to hear or agrees with.
Certainly not all those who experience altered identity states experience strange beliefs, voices, or incoherence, but most do. Not all those who experience extreme states also experience altered identity or memory loss, but some do. These experiences are not separate, even if they are different. Although one may appear more reality-
Of course, this belief comes with the caveat that some presentations of emotional distress (whether it is psychosis, depression, dissociation, or any other term or category one might like to think of) are dietary, biological, and/or neurologically based. These are not psychological or psychiatric problems, then, and should be dealt with in the medical realm. All individuals suffering from extreme states should evaluate their diet, exercise, and overall physical health; when these are shown to be a non-
I do not have all the answers. But, I do ask why it is that mental health professionals do not start with just saying what they mean? We can talk about altered identity states, memory loss, feeling unreal, not knowing what is real or not, being terrified of others, etc. Mental health professionals can own the fact that 'I do not understand this person' instead of taking this as unequivocal evidence of some brain-
At the end of the day, extreme states and anomalous experiences are terrifying; they are terrifying to the people experiencing them and to all those around those people. Doctors are human beings (much as many might like to state otherwise) and they too often act out of that fear. Certainly, nobody wants to get labelled with being psychotic, and there is benevolence in the efforts of those who try to save many from being so doomed. Being recently labelled with 'schizophrenia' appears to be enough to increase the likelihood somebody will commit suicide (Fleischhacker et al, 2014).
Instead of trying to understand people through labelling and insisting on enforcement of an authoritarian dictation of what the experience 'really' is, perhaps psychiatry can listen to those who have actually been there. The Hearing Voices Network has given us tools to work with voices and other anomalous experiences; the National Empowerment Center has given us tools on how to work with crises and extreme states; I am working to try to get first-
Why does psychiatry then continue to insist on abiding by a broken and invalid system of disease mongering? Why do we not allow the experiencer to make sense of their experience through their own framework? Why must we be so evangelical and insist that they see things our way? There is nothing that can truly, scientifically say that one diagnosis is more 'accurate' than another. All of these diagnoses are just checklists of behaviours—there is nothing that anybody 'has' and, until some biological test shows otherwise, nobody can claim that there is. What matters is being with a person in their world where they are at and understanding the meaning behind the experience, not attempting to define the experience itself in a way that makes sense to us. This is nothing more than social control and perpetuation of the status quo, not science.
Even the most biologically-

My Name From Your Mouth 2016

My Name From Your Mouth celebrates the notes which you speak to someone - one's love for another.
It echoes the Mexican Pyramid of the Sun which is believed to be the first place of emergence - where one's love for another is born.
The mouth organ's breath exhales a song, like hearing your name for the first time. Every time.
That sound is revered. Cherished. Desired. Craved.
That single song balances on a pedestal.

The Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec has teamed up with Dubai-based DP World to create a $5 billion investment platform to invest in ports and terminals around the world.
DP World, which operates business including marine and inland terminals, logistics services, and technology-driven trade operations, will hold a 55 per cent share in the investment platform. The Caisse will hold the balance.
The new platform will be used to invest mostly in existing assets around the world, outside the United Arab Emirates, but up to 25 per cent will be earmarked for greenfield projects.
"The platform will invest in ports and terminals globally (excluding the UAE) across the life cycle of the asset, with a focus on investment grade countries," the investment partners said in a statement Friday.
"Through this platform, DP World will share new investment opportunities and CDPQ (the Caisse) will have the option of co-investing alongside DP World."
The first two assets in the investment vehicle will be two of DP World's Canadian container terminals, located in Vancouver and Prince Rupert, B.C., with the Caisse acquiring a 45 per cent stake of the combined assets for $865 million.
Michael Sabia, chief executive of the Caisse, said the partnership would give the large Quebec pension manager "access to high-quality transactions, and the opportunity to invest in the best port infrastructure worldwide."
In an interview with the Financial Post, Macky Tall, executive vice-president of infrastructure at the Caisse, said officials from DP World and the Canadian pension manager have known each other for a few years because the Dubai-based company is such a large player in the port and container sectors.
A more formal approach was made when the Caisse learned DP World was looking for a partner to support its investments.
"The opportunity has materialized ore concretely in the last few months," Tall said.
He added that the partners share the view that value should be created through operational improvements "rather than financial engineering."
Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, group chairman and chief executive of DP World, said in statement that opportunities in the port and terminal sector are "significant."
The partnership with the Caisse "offers us greater flexibility to capitalize on these opportunities while maintaining a strong balance sheet and retaining control," he said.
"By combining our in-depth knowledge of container handling and CDPQ's expertise in infrastructure investing and long-term horizon, we can continue to develop the port and terminal sector globally."
The partial monetization of its Canadian assets will strengthen the balance sheet of DP World, which has a portfolio of 77 operating marine and inland terminals supported by over 50 related businesses in 40 countries across six continents.
Container handling is the company's core business and generates more than three-quarters of its revenue.

Foxy Hooray!
Welcome back friends. You will probably laugh at and with me about why I purchased this next bundle from the Product Purchase Premier. It's called Birthday Memories Suite.
Brings me back to my childhood days when we would read Little Golden Books. The ones with the gold foil like binding. Let me try to find a photo from google to remind you what I mean. Yes, these ones. Apparently there have been lots and lots more created since I was little.
This was another Make and Take at OnStage and at first I was like okay it's cute but I don't need it right away. Until...... We were told some tips and tricks from fellow demonstrators that were presenting on stage at OnStage. (Ha) We were told that there were two pieces of the Birthday Memories DSP and that one was to be used to cut out the framelit and the other was for the fox. So some of the demonstrators around us found their paper snips and started to fussy cut. But I waited for more directions because they showed us there were framelits. That actually cut out the image from the DSP. Can you picture my hands on my cheeks with open mouth saying, "ooooohhhh!" Yup I did. OMGoshwas I excited. Now I'm not one to complain about fussy cutting but to have an image not only in a stamp that I can color in whatever colors, there was a way to not fussy cut the DSP! Win - Win is all I said. And that is what sold me on this bundle. I know it's the little things but it could give me back some precious time instead of wasting it on fussy cutting.
Below are some samples of the fox and banner in the DSP and the framelits that will cut them out.
Creative Color Combination
Quite boyish like but add any other color and it can be used for anyone.

The job of publicists who are sometimes called "communications professionals" is to issue press releases and announcements about their clients. Publicists understand how the media works and they develop relationships with journalists so that their issued press releases will be picked up by the media and articles will be written and published about their clients. In short publicists serve as intermediaries between their clients and the media because they supply the media with information about their clients that the media would not ordinarily have. Usually the press releases written and distributed by publicists reflect their clients in a positive light. Sometimes publicists work for publishers or even individual authors. They are familiar with the editors of news outlets that would be most interested in the subject matter related to their clients. Some publicists work clothing manufacturers. Clothing manufacturing publicists often work to publicize new clothing styles. Other publicists work in the entertainment industry. For example they promote movies for producers or newly-released recordings for musicians. The website www.ehow.com says that there is no formal educational requirement for publicist jobs but most have a minimum of a bachelor's degree in public relations communication or journalism. Serving in an internship while in college is helpful in securing a job later on. Publicists need excellent verbal communication and writing skills and they should be outgoing patient and good at putting a positive spin on things. They usually work long hours including evenings and weekends and they are often under pressure to meet deadlines. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts an increase in job opportunities for publicists. According to www.payscale.com publicists earn an average annual salary of approximately $32000.

LAS VEGAS — A former O.J. Simpson co-defendant facing a new trial in their 2007 robbery-kidnapping case said he is disappointed in the former football star for not clearing his name.
Clarence "C.J." Stewart said his former golfing partner ruined his life.
"I wish him well, but first he must come forth and clear my name," Stewart told The Associated Press by telephone Thursday from a Nevada prison where he is serving 7 1/2 to 27 years.
"I was used and abused," Stewart said. "I was misled and surprised that he didn't clear my name. He has left a bad shadow over me."
Stewart, 56, said he will prove his innocence with or without Simpson's help.
After Stewart was tried together with Simpson, the Nevada Supreme Court reversed Stewart's conviction in October, saying the combined trial "prejudiced Stewart by having a substantial and injurious effect on the verdict."
Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass on Thursday rejected a request from Stewart's lawyer, Brent Bryson, to have him released without bail.
'Jury slam-dunked this defendant'
Clark County District Attorney David Roger asked for bail to be set at $1 million.
"The jury slam-dunked this defendant," Roger said. "Now, more than ever, he is a flight risk."
The judge declared Stewart a flight risk because he knows what he faces in prison if he is convicted again. She set bail at $150,000.
Hoffman withdrew $1,200 hours before death: sources
Philip Seymour Hoffman withdrew a total of $1,200 from an ATM at a supermarket near his New York City apartment the night before he was found lifeless in his bathroom with a syringe still in his left arm, sources told NBC News.

- Indiana man back home 18 years after abduction
- 32 states in the path of another wild storm
- Judge vows quick ruling on Va. marriage ban
- Hoffman withdrew $1,200 hours before death: sources
No trial date was immediately set. Roger sought 30 days to allow time to talk with Stewart about a plea agreement. He would not comment on any potential negotiations.
Bryson, however, said he believes Roger would be open to an agreement if Stewart agrees to plead guilty to multiple felonies.
"The best deal I would hope for is that he doesn't have to do anymore time, obviously," Bryson said. "I rarely think it's in someone's best interest to go to trial."
Stewart said he was not interested in cutting a deal.
"Mr. Roger knows I am an innocent man," Stewart said. "I have no fear in proving my innocence. I feel like I will be vindicated."
He said witnesses who testified against him at trial have since told him they were pressured to make damaging statements against him. He hopes new evidence will clear his name and would like Simpson to confirm that he was not involved in the robbery.
Simpson's lawyers said it was not in Simpson's best interest to comment on the case.
Simpson lawyer: 'Hopeful'
"We wish Mr. Stewart well," said Simpson attorney Yale Galanter. "We are happy that the court granted him bond ... We are hopeful that this will all work out for him."
Simpson's lawyers are also trying to have his conviction overturned, but have not been successful so far.

Malcolm LaVergne, another Simpson lawyer, said the all-white jury was prejudice against Simpson for his 1994 double-murder acquittal. Both Simpson and Stewart are black.
LaVergne said Simpson wants the same opportunity as Stewart to prove his innocence.
"I am very surprised and very shocked," LaVergne said. "How do you let one guy go and keep one guy in jail when they were basically subject to the same case?"
Simpson, 63, is serving nine to 33 years at a state prison in Lovelock, 90 miles northeast of Reno.
Simpson and Stewart were convicted in 2008 and sent to prison for an armed confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers at a Las Vegas casino-hotel.
Stewart and Simpson were convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery, conspiracy and other crimes for what Simpson insisted was an attempt to retrieve stolen family photos and mementoes from memorabilia dealers.
Prosecutors claim Stewart, Simpson and four other men ambushed the dealers, then swiped pillow cases stuffed with the memorabilia.
The four other men took plea deals and testified against Simpson and Stewart. None served prison time.
A middle man, Thomas Riccio, made $210,000 selling audio recordings of the robbery to media outlets before turning them over to Las Vegas police. In exchange, he was granted immunity from prosecution.
Wurtemburg said Stewart and Simpson were never close friends, but played golf together when Simpson visited Las Vegas.

February 4th-7th -- it's been a few days since an update and some days tend to become a blur. A few memorable things we did: received our city permit for footings and concrete, which will happen immediately after we finish digging out the basement. We did more digging in this time frame as well.
February 8th -- We dug in the basement and carried out all dirt in 5 gallon buckets. We went to lunch at Pogolino's and the three of us could barely get up when we finished eating. Overall though a very productive day...we ended up close to half done. Thanks to Arnie Foster and John Leech for their help...not only was it very cold, but the work was miserable.
February 9th -- We brewed 10 gallons of black IPA using Cascade, Centennial, and Simcoe hop bursting. We're looking forward to tasting it in the next week or so. I also checked in on the Imperial Breakfast Porter and things are progressing well. Set up a PowerPoint for a presentation to the local Kiwanis Club on the 10th.
February 10th -- A packed day. Have a presentation to the Twin City Kiwanis Club which went well, had an investor meeting, paid quite a few bills, sent out a few membership letters, and prepped some shirt shipments for tomorrow. This was on floor the day to day things like bank visits, emails, and various conversations based on the structural side of what we're doing.

id: Shelby Chari
Very excited about this one! Shelby is a wedding photographer in the USA, she asked me to help her develop a new brand for her photography business. I am always excited when a client wants to trust their new brand to me, but I am always extra flattered that someone from another country gets in touch.
We spent a lot of time at the beginning of the project researching and defining Shelby's ideal clients, then looking at sort of branding that would resonate with them.
Some Client Keywords were: Art lovers, creative, foodies, well traveled, LGBT supporting, Green fingered, outdoor types
Our visual keywords were: modern, nature, plants, outdoors, texture, geometric, monochrome patterns, Blues/greens/crimson and gold accents
Shelby was in love with the jade and gold palette from the beginning so I set about making a strong stand alone shape and textured background that would make this colour scheme pop. The end result is rich and textured with a high-end feeling, but earthy and approachable.
"Thank you so much for working with me on this project, In the 8 years I have been a photographer I feel like the logos I have had have never really felt like 'ME' and thanks to you I finally feel like my brand has a connection to not only myself but my work as well. " - Shelby

Ok so there comes time where certain students *cough,cough* end up changing their minds about what course they want to do. Now when I was at college I thought this was crazy, how hard is it to choose a course? Here's the answer, very and a lot of people change their minds along the way. As we all know you don't get that much time between finishing your first year at college and having to know what you want to study. Here are a few tips for you, yes you sitting there thinking you have all the time in the world. You don't.
1. Do you have any idea what you want to do?
If you do that's fantastic and you are one of the very few lucky ones who has a clear goal in mind, skip ahead. For those of you who are like me and have no idea what you want to be when you grow up here's the plan. Ask yourself 3 questions..
– What do I like to do?
– Is there anything I'm interested in that I could study?
– Is Uni the only option for this? (I added this one as uni doesn't suit everyone and for over £8000 you don't want to be forced into going)
2. Why do I want to go to Uni?
There are so many reasons people go to Uni but let me put this simply it's not all parties. We all hear tales of the freshers that come back in the summer months claiming to be drunk every night and asleep all day, I'll tell you now that rarely happens. I'm sorry to burst your bubble but if that is why you're coming to uni then you will have a rude awakening. You are encouraged to meet friends and have fun but at the end of the day you are at uni to work, that's what you're PAYING for! Make sure you're applying with some motivation to actually do the work when you get there because no one wants to repeat first year.
3. Where do I want to be?
Location,location, location. When I started looking at Uni's the most important thing was where I felt at home at my first open day at Kingston I didn't think it would win at all. It felt busy and crowded and ugly, something I really didn't want. My heart was set on the beach and I actually told someone at Kingston this on my first visit then I visited again…and again. I fell in love with it and now I'm here Kingston Hill is one of my favourite places (and I don't even study there). My main advice for this is don't just look at the Uni itself go and look at the surrounding areas, I'm sure I would have fallen in love with Kingston the first time had I done that.
4. Visit as many Open Days as possible…and try and see through the free sweets
Every University you visit are trying to pull you in, remember that. Some give away prizes, sweets,chocolate,pen etc. in order to try and persuade you but really think about what you want to know (plus you get all this in freshers week anyway). You'll be paying off the debt for a very long time so you need to be sure of the University and what it stands for. One of the reasons I liked Kingston and decided to apply was because I really felt like there were no stupid questions ( I still feel like that now actually) and that I would be taken on as a person, not a statistic. Don't be scared to talk about yourself and what you need either, if you have a worry or an issue be open with them, see what they say.
5. Talk to people who have studied your subject
My boyfriends cousin was so helpful with this. She was finishing her final year at Uni when I was applying so any questions I had she could tell me the truth. Don't always trust forums though because some people will try to scare you, especially if you're moving to London. Not everyone has a helpful family member so try talking to your subject teachers, ask your uni if they have any way you can talk to students (Kingston have a whole blog set up where current students can answer any questions you have).
6. If you make the wrong decision don't panic!
So I've done the UCAS, the exams, freshers week, THE LOT. Guess what? I chose the wrong damn course. Although these are tips people get to uni and realise that they were wrong and that's ok. It took me a while to admit that I didn't like my Creative Writing course but now I have things are being sorted out. I can sleep knowing that next year I'll be full field Literature and it wont make a difference to my overall degree. So if you get a bit stuck go and talk to someone, everyone can make a mistake the important part is to fix it.

Strawberry and Balsamic Grilled Chicken Salad
This post brought to you by Newman's Own. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Julie's Eats & Treats.
Strawberry and Balsamic Grilled Chicken Salad ~ Fresh, Flavorful Salad Recipe Loaded with Spinach, Strawberries and Chicken Marinated in Balsamic Dressing!
A long time ago, as in like maybe ten years ago I found out I had an addiction. It was a strong addiction that makes my mouth water whenever that certain taste comes to mind. I can't get enough of it. Some people think I'm a little odd some nod and agree because they understand that strong addiction. I'm sure you are wondering what that addiction is aren't you? My friends, I'm about to let out one of my biggest secrets here. My addiction is…. Balsamic. I can not get enough of it. Can not no matter what I do. I first encountered this amazing, delicious invention at an Italian restaurant about 30 miles from my home town. It was a big deal when we got a new Italian restaurant around these parts and we all went there as often as possible!
They served this amazing bread that was freshly baked along with a little olive oil, Parmesan cheese, pepper and balsamic. I remember dipping my bread in the balsamic and ignoring the olive oil completely. I could not get enough of that stuff! If I was in the comforts of my own home I may have just licked that little plate, but I try to save face and act appropriately in public most of the time. I don't really want to be the talk of the town in that way!
Because of this love of balsamic I now try to sneak it in whatever I'm making if it's anywhere near appropriate. This time I put it in my salad to try and keep things a little bit lighter than dipping a loaf of bread in it! I choose Newman's Own Balsamic for this recipe because I know it's great tasting, great quality and is made of the finest ingredients. Plus I love to buy Newman's Own because I know I'm doing good by buying it. Did you know that all of their profits go to charity? Now that makes me smile when I'm enjoying their products! You can also find Ranch Dressing, Olive Oil & Vinegar, Family Recipe Italian, Creamy Caesar and many more varieties!
Newman's Own products were started by Paul Newman in 1982 in a tiny boutique operation. Paul gave his homemade salad dressings to neighbors as holiday gifts and from there it continued to grow. Over the last 30 years, Newman's Own has given away over $400 million to thousands of charities!
Grab your ingredients for this amazing salad stuffed with spinach, strawberries, candied pecans and marinated chicken breasts! Don't forget the Newman's Own Balsamic of course
Strawberry and Balsamic Grilled Chicken Salad

Every time the major stock market indices back off by just a few percentage points from all-time highs, investor anxiety jumps. Every retreat since 2009 is perceived as an existential threat to the bull market. Yet we have seen few stock market corrections relative to the decades before the Great Recession.
But if some of the most astute investors of our time — Ray Dalio, Paul Singer and Carl Icahn — are screaming "danger, danger" about the stock market, then who are we to argue?
There's no need to argue.
Forget about being bullish or bearish.
Raised on valuation metrics and careful analysis? You'll just be frustrated.
A focus on just three factors can help explain this market and why no matter how many good sound bites can be rattled off about the "impending crash," most investors would be better off minding the hopelessly optimistic — or is it joyously pessimistic? — words of Bill Murray's "Meatballs" character in his pep talk to campers: "It just doesn't matter!"

"I, CLAUDIA will fortify your
heart while stabbing you in the back. . .It's Pretty Little Liars by way of ancient Rome- a wild, exciting ride, but full of caution about leadership run amok."- Anthony Breznican, author of Brutal Youth
DISAFFECTED TEEN HISTORIAN CLAUDIA MCCARTHY never wanted to be in charge of anything at the elite Imperial Day Academy. She never even wanted to be noticed. But when she's pulled into the tumultuous and high-profile worlds of the school's Senate and Honor Council, suddenly Claudia is wielding power over her fellow students that she never expected to have and isn't sure she wants.
Claudia vows to use her power to help the school. But there are forces aligned against her: shocking scandals, tyrants waiting in the wings, and political dilemmas with no easy answers. As Claudia struggles to be a force for good in the universe, she wrestles with the questions: does power inevitably corrupt? Can she rise to power without losing herself in the process?
Based loosely on Robert Graves's I, Claudius, Mary McCoy's novel sheds light on the insidious nature of political power through the lens of one very smart and shrewd girl who uses ingenious methods to tell her version of history.

Earlier this year, we took a road trip to Philly with Madewell as an ode to the art of the weekend road trip. Philly is just a couple of hours from DC, and though I'd been there in the past, it had only been for short stints. I've never really gotten to know the city until now but let me tell you; I'm in love. The food, the architecture, everything - it's one of those great cities that I loved right away. The entire city is actually a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it's easy to see why. I did a longer recap on the Madewell and Artifact Uprising blogs, but thought I'd share a few outtakes here. Until next time!
Where we stayed:
Loews Philadelphia - This hotel was stunning with incredible views, and cloud-like beds, a must after a long day walking around the city.
Where we ate:
Little Fish - Absolutely amazing seafood in a cozy, intimate BYOB spot
Hungry Pigeon - A great spot for some good coffee and a pastry before starting your day
Root Restaurant - A newer spot with a beautiful interior and a great menu
Tredici Enoteca- This wine bar and restaurant is amazing! You'll come for just a glass and want to stay the rest of the evening!
What we saw:
Race Street Pier - Beautiful bridge views right on the waterfront
Philadelphia City Hall - A historic building that is such an icon in the city
Longwood Garden - This is outside the city, but a must-visit! I could have spent an entire day here exploring the gardens. It's such a unique and inspiring place.

"From Opera to Broadway": MTMC's Community Orchestra Pops Concert/
The annual spring pops concert presented by Mountain Top Music Center's Community Orchestra is filled with dramatic flair this year. From Phantom of the Opera to Puccini's "O Mio Babbino Caro" from the comic opera Gianni Schicchi, much of the program comes from the stage and the screen.
To add to the drama, Mountain Top will showcase its graduating seniors—what could be more dramatic than leaving home to start an independent life? Nora Cronin, a senior who studies with Lillian Lee Morse will sing the aforementioned Puccini aria along with a well-known tune from Verdi. She is heading off to the University of Maine at Orono to hone her already amazing soprano voice. Fiona Howell and Marion Dillon, two longtime students of Doris Henney, team up to play a Vivaldi concerto for two flutes. Sprinkled between these gems are musical reminiscences sure to please—a medley from The Sound of Music and even a stunning ditty from a television commercial for diamonds.
There are two opportunities to enjoy Mountain Top Music Center's Community Orchestra Pops Concert: Wednesday, June 10, at 7:30 PM at Salyards Center for the Arts, located at 110 Main Street, Conway, NH (across the street from Mountain Top Music Center) and Sunday, June 14, at 7:30 PM at the Brass Heart Inn, 88 Philbrick Neighborhood Road, Chocorua, NH. The concert at the Brass Heart Inn will also feature, as an opening act, The Pequawket Brass—a student ensemble of brass players led by Mountain Top Music Center's own trumpet teacher, Randy Ouellette. There will be desserts at the Brass Heart Inn concert and the Brass Heart Inn will provide a cash bar.
Mountain Top Music Center presents a diverse array of concerts and programs to delight audiences of all ages; its faculty teaches more than 300 students—from infants to senior citizens—each semester. For more information about Mountain Top, including musical instruction, please call 603-447-4737, email firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit us online at www.mountaintopmusic.org.

The eight-element antenna type Wave channel
Czech radio OK1DE designed eight-element antenna of type "wave channel", which is effective in the range 144-146 MHz. Technical characteristics of the antenna are shown in the table, the curves of input impedance range is shown in figure 1, and the directivity in the horizontal plane in Fig.2.
Technical data antenna The number of elements 8 Gain (compared with conventional dipole),11-12 dB The weakening of the posterior lobe, dB 14±16 The ratio of the traveling wave 0,4-0,7 Maximum length, m 3,81 Maximum width, m 1,135
The device of the antenna and its dimensions are shown in Fig.3. Dimension values are in mm. During the construction of the antenna with dimensions that are given outside the brackets, its input impedance will be equal to 300 ohms. In that case, if you must have the antenna impedance 150 ohms, some the size of its change and are given in parentheses. Material for the manufacture of the antenna are dural tube: for all elements with a diameter of 10 mm, and for Rei, which reinforced elements with a diameter of 28 mm.
In the active antenna is used the folded dipole. To bend the vibrator easiest way cold way as follows. Solid wood carve two rollers with a diameter of 43 mm and strengthen them on a thick Board. The distance between the centers of the rollers shall be 900 mm. the Phone, designed for the vibrator is applied to the rollers, strengthen that it has not moved and bent around the circumference of the rollers.
The antenna elements to strengthen Rei M3 bolts as shown in Fig.4. To avoid deterioration of the antenna must be sure to adhere to all the dimensions specified in Fig.3, and also to observe the thickness of the tubes and a method of bonding elements and Rei.
To make it possible to apply for feeder antenna the most common cables with a characteristic impedance of 75 ω (RK-1, RK-3), you must attach the loop to the vibrator antenna with an input impedance of 300 ohms U - knee (Fig.5,a), simultaneously with the transformation of the input impedance of the antenna will be to symmetricality her. Transformation of the input impedance of 150 Ohm antenna is carried out using the transformer, made of cable.
Such transformers are described in the article Kharchenko and Isupova "Incomplete zigzag antenna" ("Radio", 1965, No. 1, pp. 24-27 and 4 page tabs in the log). Length lтр transformer to the antenna is 342 mm. balancing the antenna feeder from the transformer is routed through the pipe loop of the vibrator to the point of zero potential (Fig. 5,b). The outer insulating sheath of the cable is not removed. In this case, the folded dipole is easier to attach to Rei open-side-up (i.e., the party, joined the ends of the transformer).

Show Preview | Mark Maggiori
By: Southwest Art | November 15, 2017
by Laura Rintala
A cowboy peers down at the rocky trail as his horse picks its way through the loose rock and sagebrush, while behind them the ground falls away to distant snowcapped peaks against a blue sky. In another scene—a nocturne—another cowboy shifts his weight in the saddle and gives his horse rein to make its way down a steep, shrubby incline, the full moon highlighting distant canyon walls. These two paintings, and seven more canvases that examine the often solitary beauty of cowboy life, are on view this month in Mark Maggiori's solo show entitled Lonesome Souls. It opens at Maxwell Alexander Gallery on Saturday, December 9, with an artist's reception from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
"When I started work for the show, I was going up to Wyoming [and photographing] cowboys," Maggiori explains. "For two or three days we were on the Continental Divide. It was very inspiring for me visually. When I came back, I wanted to paint what I had just experienced." After working through his photos and making sketches, the artist realized a recurring theme: "I ended up painting mostly lonesome cowboys," he says. "My feeling is that the cowboy life is very lonesome. It's a feeling of being far from world reality and having symbiosis with nature." And the painter, alone in his studio day after day, recognized the parallel to his own work. "There's the beauty of [that solitude] as well as the hard part," he says.
Lonesome Souls is Maggiori's second solo show at the gallery and, notes gallery director Beau Alexander, his second solo show ever. "In this show we're seeing Mark's style develop. His ability as an artist and his voice as an artist has really matured since his first show in 2015. This show is cohesive and focused on the lonesome cowboy on the range in different scenarios."
Maggiori pays particular attention to making his images timeless. "I don't want to mark [a time period] through [the tack or] gear—when you're a specialist you know it is [contemporary]. But I want to stay on the iconic side of the West," he says. "That is what brought me to paint cowboys. That is what I have been fascinated with."
And those cowboys are depicted as larger than life. "I cheat scale. My cowboys are 20 times bigger than they are supposed to be," he says. And while there is limited human interaction depicted, Maggiori explores other relationships. "We don't say enough about how important the horse is to that person being in that place and having that experience," he says.
"The solo show is such a special event for collectors," Alexander says. "In group shows you see one or two paintings by an artist, maybe three. But you can't know an artist without seeing them in a solo exhibition, their small works, large works. Mark's been working on this show for a long time, and we're excited to be able to present it to the public."

Easter is just a few days away and there is still snow on the ground. No matter, we have been reading Easter books for weeks now and their pastel colors have painted our world.
A few of our favorites:
The Golden Egg Book
Margaret Wise Brown understood children. She understood the world they inhabit, one with bright colors that run into one another and nights so long they might not end. Her stories are full of the simple and the grounded. Each one a recited lullaby that captures the joy of childhood while soothing the fears. The Golden Egg Book is no different. A story of a lonely bunny and a little egg. As I read it to my girls each night I hope they learn that they never know where they might find a friend. And that they never have to be alone.
The Black Rabbit
A simple story about a little rabbit afraid of his shadow. There is a game of hide and seek across meadows and rivers and into a deep dark forest. Twists and turns and a wolf with big teeth and fast feet. Until finally, the rabbit discovers that sometimes the things that we cannot leave behind are the ones that give us the most strength.
The Country Bunny and The Little Gold Shoes
I have written about this book before. I love it. Adore it. Cry with breaking voice every time I read it. A lovely little story about a lovely big thing. Because I believe what this story teaches with my whole ever lovin' heart. That mother's are important. That our homes are our best work. That we can find joy and accomplishment outside of them if we wish. And that when we do, we can return to our hearth and babies with our arms full and our hearts ready for another day.
