Heavenletter #6109 Published on: August 16, 2017
God said:
Here's one idea that will hasten the evolution of the world. When enabled, this one idea will move the world forward at the Speed of Light. This has to do with letting go of a habit of thinking that is prevalent in the world. It seems like a simple thing, yet it isn't so simple for My Loved Ones to let go of this worldwide habit. It may well be difficult for you.
Within this world you live in, no matter how it may seem in dark moments, there is nothing that is impossible. The sky is the limit, which is to say that there are no limits at all.
So much will be taken care of with this one change in awareness. As you change, so changes the world. Your simple awareness of the value of the possibility of change alone will affect the world you live in. You will enter a Universe of Peace.
You will transform the world. Peace will be like a rocket taking off! Tumult in the world will fly away. No one will know frustration. No one will oppose, and no one will be opposed.
This new way of thinking will close Pandora's Box.
This is not a quick and easy for you to accomplish, not even in theory. Yet, even so, there are these who live this way now. You may think that the ones who succeed in such flexibility are just lucky. And, yes, they are lucky to have acquired this skill. At present, you may be at a loss to implement this.
You may compare yourself to the beautiful but innocent miller's daughter in a Grimm's fairy tale. Her father boasted falsely to the King that his daughter has the ability to weave straw into gold. Hearing this, the King imprisons the daughter and orders her to weave a huge amount of straw into gold. She must succeed. If she succeeds, the King will marry her. If she fails, the King will execute her.
The miller's daughter has no idea whatever as to how weave straw into gold. With all her will and desire, she would love to be able to weave straw into gold. And her Life depends on it. She has everything necessary but the skill. She would if she could.
The rest of the fairy tale doesn't really apply to this Heavenletter because Rumpelstiltskin, half villain, half rescuer, offers to weave straw into gold for the girl in exchange for her first child. She grabs Rumpelstilskin's offer which she later reneges on.
At present, you may well believe that you do not have what it takes to actually live Peace, yet alone keep Peace in your awareness.
Here is what you can do to bring Peace to the world:
No longer will you pin your dissatisfaction on anyone else. Instead of looking to change others, you will change yourself.
No longer will you think of what others are not and what you want them to be. From now on, you will highlight good qualities of others and never mind about featuring any annoyances you may feel.
No longer will you say even to yourself: "Why can't all the multitudes of seeming others be perfect in my eyes? Can they not be perfect?"
Beloveds, they are perfectly who they are.
O! to be grateful for what you see rather than ungrateful for what you don't see.
O! to appreciate what is. O! to no longer declare disappointment.
Now, dear Hearts, here is the crux:
Let go of having to depend upon any other for your happiness. Or blame anyone or anything for your unhappiness. O! may you discover your own happiness.
Focus on what is right with the world and the people in it. You can do it. How many of My Children as One have to let go of being pleased by others before they will move mountains?

Susan Gentile, MS
Adjunct Faculty, Environmental Studies
"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them become what they are capable of being." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
This quotation was taped to my social studies teacher's desk when I was in eighth grade. It has been in my mind and in my work ever since. My goal is to help my students become educators who can enact this quotation, educators who will make a difference in people's lives and thereby make a difference in the world.
A metaphor for my work is a web of synapses connecting my teaching with others' teaching. As new synapses are constantly created and old ones are improved with use, the web grows and is strengthened through increasing connections.
I agree with David Orr that 'all education is environmental education.' To be effective, all education must begin with the learner, with what she already knows and brings to the learning experience. Using an interdisciplinary, student-centered, student-directed approach, systems thinking and problem-solving skills can be developed, habits of mind and practice that are needed for sustainable living. My own teaching style is more guide-on-the-side than sage-on-the-stage. Each educator must discover her own, most effective style and create her own unique 'toolkit' and 'bag of tricks' to facilitate learning.
A quotation from Daniel Quinn's Ishmael also comes to mind: "'What do I do if I earnestly desire to save the world'?…'What you do is teach a hundred what I've taught you, and inspire each of them to teach a hundred. That's how it's always done.'"
I am fascinated by communication between people, especially human language. I enjoy exploring the evolution of language, spoken and written, and I am intrigued by the possible effects of electronic communication on the human brain, social interaction, cultural diversity, and humans' role in the community of life.

Back in September 2014 I came up with an idea: Vibite.
At the time I'd been a music enthusiast for several years; this was one of my first business ideas. And because of this I'd listened to and found a ton of good music.
I came up with the idea of creating a music blog where I could share the best music I found into an assortment of playlists for different scenarios. Things such as 'rainy day vibes', 'working out', and different genres.
It went pretty well. I promoted it with my friends and on the comments for music videos on YouTube. I had some decent feedback and traffic initially, but after about 6-9 months it died out because I slowly stopped working on it.
Since the beginning I've always had a vision of building a social network for music enthusiasts to share really good music with each other—not just me and my music on my blog.
That idea has stuck with me for years and has come a long way, but I've still barely done anything on it. It's time for that to change.
How the idea progressed
Since the inception of Vibite the idea has gradually evolved in my mind. I've worked on several other projects and things over the years.
I've doubted it a ton, too. This is partly because I haven't yet figured out a business model for it, and I don't want to waste my time building something if it's not going to work.
But as the idea developed over time, I began to see what it'd look like more clearly which gave me confidence in it. A few music enthusiasts I've met since have also told me it sounds awesome and were genuinely keen to use it which helped a ton too.
And unlike back when I made the blog, I'm a full-stack developer now, so I can actually build the thing.
My struggle building the project
Around July last year I finally sat down to build it. But after ~600 recorded hours of work it's still not finished. That's a ridiculous amount of time and I have little to show for it. Here's why.
First of all, I was suffering from severe depression which cut my productivity in half. I'm not going to go into that, but it was basically a grind and working was very difficult.
Secondly, I didn't have focus. I had a vague idea of what I was building, leading to procrastination and perfectionism. I had a huge list of features and the project scope was ridiculously unrealistic.
Thirdly, I had to learn a ton. This project required me to not only code the front-end and back-end, I also had to design the project. I'd never designed the UI for an app so it was very challenging for me.
And lastly, one of my goals was to improve my skills as a developer through implementing new skills into the project. So plenty of that time has been spent honing my skill-set.
What I managed to complete
Barely anything—or at least anything tangible.
Despite the fact I still don't have a product to show for it, I've learned a ton from the hundreds of hours spent designing and thinking about the project.
This is something I especially realised after reading Talent Is Overrated; deliberate practise is an arduous yet necessary process to become great at anything. So if you spend 600 hours on something and have nothing to show for it, you just need to keep going.
Most of the time spent has been on designing the UI. I still don't know what it looks like exactly and I was being a huge perfectionist. Here's a pile of all the sketches I've made:
I've also attempted to build the UI like 3-4 times. Here's a screenshot of one of them:
Besides that there's some front-end code, but not much.
What's happening from here
I've decided to set myself a deadline of 30 days and build the thing. So long as I let it drag on I'll never finish it.
Starting tomorrow, the 4th of May, 2018 I'm going to start building it with a 30 day deadline (June the 3rd). This strict deadline will force me to build a MVP and get it out there.
The details and other features I'd like to add can wait. The longer this drags on the more I procrastinate, whereas getting something out there will inspire me to keep working on it—especially if users sign up and give me positive feedback.
Alongside this I've also signed up to wip.chat to keep myself accountable. And I'll be blogging regularly to publicly share my progress, so subscribe if you're keen to be updated :)

Local Listing Package - Google 3 Pack
Top 3 of the Google Local Map Pack
First, let's talk about what the Google 3 pack is. You see 3 pack of Google Business map listings when you do a search in Google and the system thinks that you may be looking for a local business. When this occurs, you will see three local companies show up at the top of your search results, right underneath the ads in the map area. Same on your cell phone. If the companies have Google reviews, you'll see those results as well.
You'll notice that right underneath the three options you may have the opportunity to click on "More places," which then opens up all of the local options. So, you can imagine how crucial it is for the success of any business to be in that top three result. Back when there was a 7 pack it was far less difficult to show up on the first page for a keyword term through a local listing campaign. Now Google only shows three options on that first page, no matter how many local companies might be available. Without showing up in the top three, it's much more challenging to get your website in front of the eyes of potential customers.

There's something amazing about that, isn't there? Reading a 75-year-old book for a feminist book club.
Our book club was pretty impressed with this story. We were excited to find a crime novel written in 1935 whose main detective, victims, and suspects were all women. Sayers used this novel to earnestly explore the role of women in British society. Her characters debate often over whether one has to choose between being an intellectual and being married, between having children and devoting oneself to the books. She paints thoughtful portrayals of women who have lost themselves in their marriages, in addition to creating characters like Phoebe Tucker, a college friend of Harriet's whose marriage has been successful due to her ability to maintain and share her hobbies with her husband. Throughout the book, Harriet struggles with her own identity as a single woman. She looks to old friends and teachers to determine whether she might be able to maintain her autonomy and career as a writer if she were to get married. While she repeatedly turns down Peter's proposals of marriage, she struggles with her feelings for him and with her desire to be truly recognized as his equal.

RICHMOND, Va. – Sean Rogers delivered the game-winning goal just 1:14 in overtime to give No. 12 Franklin & Marshall a 10-9 victory over No. 6 Cortland in men's lacrosse action Tuesday afternoon. The Diplomats improved to 5-1 while the Red Dragons dropped to 3-1.
F&M went ahead early with goals from Harry Rice and Luke Keating six minutes into the game. Cortland responded with two of their own and tied the game at 2-2 and Sean Rogers put one through at the end of the first to give F&M a 3-2 edge heading into the second.
The Red Dragons netted three straight in the first four minutes of the second for a 5-3 lead at 11:08. Jarrett Donaghy brought F&M within a point, but Cortland quickly answered and retook a two-goal edge, 6-4, with 6:10 remaining. Kevin Mollihan brought F&M within a point, 6-5, with a goal at 4:21, which remained the score heading into the break.
Mollihan tied the game early in the third at 6-6, but Cortland countered with two scores and took an 8-6 lead. Mollihan picked up his third with a score at 1:52 off a feed from George Briggs to bring F&M within a goal, 8-7, heading into the final frame.
Mollihan picked up his fourth goal 56 seconds into the fourth to tie the game at 8-8 and Cortland matched two minutes later to retake the lead, 9-8, with 12:42 on the clock. Harry Rice had the equalizer at 2:11 to make it 9-9, and both teams saw multiple shots the remainder of the quarter, but could not connect, sending the game in overtime.
Timmy Hoarty won the opening faceoff in the extra quarter and F&M called a timeout at 3:50 to set up the offense. A little more than a minute later Rogers netted the game-winner to seal the victory for F&M.
Scott Hatch turned away seven shots and improved to 5-1 in net.
The Diplomats return to action on Saturday when F&M hosts Elizabethtown at 1:00 p.m.

Spiritual growth comes the ways we allow it. If we close off one way, it shows up some other way. Sometimes we have to approach various parts or phases of it from many different ways at the same time.
Mine often comes with beautiful and exciting visualizations, information, and discernible energy shifting. I had some of that this week (see my yahoo group for my description of a beautiful integration of a higher aspect of me while working with someone else– down2earthspritstff on yahoogroups.com) This past week it has also come via eating differently and some emotional work done for a program in which I am participating, both of which I was guided to do by my intuition. (This is what I call practical spiritual stuff.)
I switched to vegan eating a little over a week ago. Not just vegan but about 80% raw with hardly any fruit and no grains (I will eventually begin sprouting them). I have been amazed at myself at how I just did it considering I have been guided to do this for about 7 years and couldn't stick with it. But the time is now, so it is happening.
I have been detoxing since about the 4th day, which is not pleasant but it is informative. It means my body reeeeaaaaaaally needed this change, to give it a break physically and to help it catch up with the energy shifts the rest of me already went through. I have already noticed that I generally feel better, even though I cannot put my finger on exactly what is better physically. However, in my spiritual work there is a greater clarity and ease that is noticeable. I move quicker into the higher vibration needed to support my clients with their healing choices, and, more importantly, I am staying in that higher vibration longer because my body isn't fighting off the effects of harsh, and sometimes toxic, food that it doesn't want or need.
Additionally, either as part of this detox or as part of some emotional inventory work I am doing, I tapped into some deep hurt I had not healed yet. It is hurt I have visited before but now I am approaching it on a much deeper level. How can I tell? Because today when I woke up I felt much lighter after all the emotional flow that happened yesterday when I tapped into the hurt. I feel as if I opened a door to a place where I had stuffed a bunch of that hurt while trying to believe it didn't matter or was already healed.
You know how our higher selves are – we are put in situations where we get to learn or heal, if we choose, and where the people we interact with usually participate in that healing in some way. So I had help in opening the door to this deep hurt by an insensitive and controlling family member who so brilliantly (and easily) triggered some deep feelings of non-acceptance and invalidation. I also was helped by an acquaintance innocently asking how someone could get to be my age and not have experienced something that I keep thinking I desperately want to experience (life with a mate/partner). It just wasn't part of her reality so she couldn't understand it.
I am reminded that if I didn't have this stuff to heal no one would be triggering me. After all the emotions released I was able to embrace that thought easier (LOL!!) and bless that family member and acquaintance for the role played in all of this. I also realized that anything I am using as a focus for holding on to old emotions is just a distraction. If I didn't already have a belief that I needed something outside of me in order for me to be acceptable or loved or whole, none of the expectations or desires would matter. For instance, if I accepted myself totally as I am I wouldn't still have the belief that I need to please anyone else in order to survive or be happy, yet I still have some of that I struggle with. There are a lot more examples but I plan to write them up in another blog.
I am aware of the more practical nature of this phase in my spiritual evolution because of my experiences this week with my reactions to my change in eating and my emotional work done while following my intuitive guidance. I did not know what would result from following that guidance, but I have enough experience to follow any intuitive guidance that comes to me this strongly. I am pleased with myself and my growth.

I had a blast capturing some photos of Nancy right after her graduation ceremony in downtown Portland, Maine yesterday. She received her Master's degree in Health Services, and celebrated her big moment with a photo shoot! It was pleasantly warm, and there was not a cloud in the sky, but a sweet and gentle spring breeze brought just enough cool through the air to make it perfect. Nancy and I took to the beautiful locations nearby the graduation venue, me in my boots and her in her 6-inch heels....bless her heart! This shoot was a big reminder of how awesome the city of Portland, Maine is - as Nancy and I were shooting, countless strangers stopped as they were passing by to congratulate Nancy on her accomplishment, in the warmest and friendliest Mainer way. The spring weather was so pleasantly mild, just how you would imagine the perfect day to be. I am so fortunate to have such an amazing city where beauty abounds, and the shooting locations and backdrops are virtually limitless. In Portland, Maine, this is truly the way life should be.
I just love how these photos turned out, especially for my first try at graduation photos, and hope you enjoy them too! If you have a grad in your life and would like to gift them a session with me, I would love to more of these sessions again! You can reach me directly at 207-808-2151 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Jessica James Gilbert
Eagle, CO
Jessica James Gilbert was born and raised on a small ranch in the mountains of Colorado. Ever since she can remember she has been riding and drawing horses. She's ridden both Western and English, but her inspiration and her love for the Western lifestyle started when she began helping on a local ranch moving cows to the high country. She has a natural way with horses, and her deep understanding led her to know how to paint the horse with a critical eye, seeing each horse for its individuality.
At the young age of 25, Jessica has started a career that will last a lifetime. She is not afraid to stay the course and keep the passion, go beyond, take risks, or fail. She is not afraid to fly beyond and learn from those she admires, understanding that it's a process and a journey, not a race.

Syren was the longest lived of all the clipper ships, with a sailing life of 68 years 7 months.[1] She sailed in the San Francisco trade, in the Far East, and transported whaling products from Hawaii and the Arctic to New Bedford.
San Francisco trade and transport of whaling products[edit]
Syren sailed in the San Francisco trade from Boston and New York City from 1851 to 1856, making five passages. She then made a voyage from Boston and Calcutta, and served in the Boston - Honolulu - New Bedford trade until 1861. She then made four more passages in the San Francisco trade.
In 1866, Syren returned to the Boston - Honolulu - New Bedford run, a route she sailed for ten more years. In 1877, Syren began to voyage to Alaska and the Arctic to transport whale oil and the catch of whalers; she also transported coal to the north, and a load of spars from Seattle to Bath, ME.[2]
In All About Hawaii, written in 1920, there appears the following note about Syren:
Dec. 23, 1858, ship Syren, 1064 tons, Green master, 96 days from Boston via Rio Janeiro, with cargo for this market. Feb. 23, 1860, she is back with another eastern cargo, reporting a trip of 114 days. Was the crack ship of the Brewer line of Boston packets several years. In 1868 she made the run in 105 days, and in 1872 it was 109. She also figured in the San Francisco-China trade later, and was finally condemned at Rio, July, 1888.[3]
Fast voyage from San Francisco to Boston, 1861[edit]
In 1861, Syren made a fast voyage from San Francisco to Boston of 103 days, besting the Kingfisher by 17 days. On this voyage, Syren also bested four other clippers bound for New York: Northern Light and Belle of the Seas, both by three days, and Sierra Nevada and Mary Robinson, both by 4 days.[2]
Far East voyages and guano trade[edit]
Other ports of call during Syren's long career included: in the Far East, Manila, Whampoa and Batavia; Baker Island, Liverpool, and London. The stop at Baker Island suggests that she was engaged in the guano trade.
Another fast voyage was an 1857 round trip between Boston and Calcutta, of 99 days to Calcutta and 97 days returning.
However, Syren was not known as a particularly fast ship on the East Coast to San Francisco run, as she seemed to run into more than her share of calms, light winds, and bad weather off Cape Horn. Her times typically ranged from 120 to 152 days.[2]
Syren suffered various mishaps during her long career, but remained in service nonetheless.
On April 25, 1861, Syren was beating out of San Francisco, near the entrance to the Golden Gate, when she struck Mile Rock two times. Syren made it back into the harbor with four feet of water in her hold. She was nearly sinking by the time she was beached on the mud flats. Repairs at Mare Island Navy Yard cost $15,000.
Like many clippers, Syren lost rigging and topgallant masts off Cape Horn and in the South Atlantic, in 1853, 1856, 1858 and 1864.
An unknown vessel collided with Syren on a voyage from Boston to Honolulu on December 18, 1870, near the equator in the Atlantic Ocean, but Syren did not sustain serious damage.[2]

International issues have seldom been far from the headlines in recent weeks.
The diplomatic row between the UK and Russia looks to have moved on from diplomatic flashpoints, and shows signs of crystallising into a longer period of cooled relations between East and West. And never far away is Trump. Although his rule-by-tweet style of economic policy has dropped out of the news in favour of the recent tit-for-tat in the Mueller investigation, the president's decision to raise tariffs on a number of Chinese goods looks to have set the stage for a trade war which could rumble on for a long time yet.
And the trade issue is the more interesting, as it raises important points about the nature of the relationship between the US and China that have been debated for some time. China has come to view itself as an independent superpower, building alliances in regions it believes the West has neglected, such as Africa.
In the past, China would often pick and choose when and where to engage with international bodies. On the one hand, it has pitched itself as a global superpower with a stake in international affairs, such as on the UN Security Council; and on the other, as a developing economic nation in terms of GDP per capita, which should allow it exemptions from certain international obligations (i.e. joining the WTO on certain terms and exempting itself from climate change policies).
In other areas, China has sought to challenge the existing international bodies and take a leading role in Asia. The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank is a prime example of this, as China seeks to take a prominent role in international affairs, but only on its own terms. Under Xi Jinping, the country's most powerful leader since Mao, the Chinese government has adopted a language of "exporting the 'China Model'.
The US has rightly seen this as a threat to its dominance, not only in the Asia Pacific region but on its home turf and in developing markets around the world. But the standard response of former presidents, to lead the global order and step up to the role of standard bearer for economic liberalism, has been turned on its head by the new administration.
On the face of things, Trump's protectionist policies have merely raised trade tariffs against China in response to alleged intellectual property theft. In reality, it is much more than that, given how China has been repeatedly branded a currency manipulator and is undoubtedly viewed negatively in Washington DC for its beneficial trade terms. Whereas the Chinese government's recent moves to relax regulation for certain sectors might have given the two administrations common cause to develop global markets in mutual interest, the United States' sharp turn inward has instead set the stage for a trade war to become ideological.
But then again, nothing is new under the sun, and the present suspicion – or indeed, jealousy - of Chinese business builds on a long tradition in the United States, especially based on national security concerns. It should be no surprise that intellectual property theft is the reason the Trump administration has used to impose tariffs.
Within telecoms, the global mobile phone provider Huawei is a prime example of this uneasy view of Chinese business. It has been repeatedly blocked from operating in the United States, and the FBI, CIA and the Committee on Foreign Investment are particularly unhappy about the use of its equipment for snooping. However, this has not stopped it becoming the world's leading vendor, ahead of Nokia and Ericsson, without the United States. It suggests that providing good products at a reasonable price now means more than access to the world's richest market.
Trump's present tactics have a whiff of simply 'throwing the toys out of the pram' and are ill-advised. Perhaps the US should take heed of the warnings before pursuing a path of protectionism, and leaving China to claim an ironic mantel as the champion of openness in the international economy.
International issues have seldom been far from the headlines in recent weeks.

A friend shared this video with me and it made me think of two things.
1. The concept of strangers. I think my goal is to not leave anyone I encounter as a stranger. I think that strangers are friends I have not met yet. I feel sad thinking that two people who shared an intimate relationship could be come so estranged. I hope that all of my partners in life call me "friend" regardless of our relationship status. It was really good for me to ponder this because I think there are a few people I have left with something other than an invitation of friendship. I've got some contacting to do!
2.Media inspires me! This video reminded me why I make media. It isn't tell someone else my message. And it isn't to have a conversation. It is to make people think. To make people question. And to make THEM start conversation. I am so grateful to do what I love everyday!


text: SKV40, Biomass, Denmark Skærbækværket / Skaerbaek Power Plant 2 x 154 MW Biomass-Fired Boilers Babcock & Wilcox Vølund (B&W Vølund) designed, manufactured and commissioned two biomass boilers for the Skærbækværket power plant in Denmark. The project allows the combined heating and power plant to supply approximately 60,000 households with clean and reliable district heating and electicity while reducing CO2 emissions. Plant description The Skaerbaek Power Plant (SKV40) is owned and operated by Ørsted A/S (formerly DONG Energy Thermal Power A/S). Built in 1951, the plant originally used coal as fuel. In 1997, it was converted to gas before the conversion to wood chips in 2014. The wood chips are sourced from sustainable forestry and help to reduce the plant's carbon emissions. Biomass as sustainable fuel for district heating B&W Vølund supplied two identical 154 MW wood chipfueled boilers, built on the harbor area in front of block 2 of the Skaerbaek plant. From the two boilers, a new steam pipe was established to the existing turbine of block 3 through which the boilers can supply steam for combined production of electricity and heat. The boilers are connected to a new heat exchanger for producing district heating independently of block 3's operations. Skærbækværket supplies about two-thirds of district heating to the municipalities in the triangle area that includes Fredericia, Kolding, Middelfart and Vejle. TVIS, the district heating company in the triangle area, invested in the conversion of the Skaerbaek Power Plant to biomass with the goal of making district heating cheaper, greener and more sustainable, and 100% CO2-neutral and independent of fossil fuels by 2050. The conversion to biomass is intended to reduce Skaerbaek's CO2 emissions from district heating by approximately 83%. This is a reduction of 79,000 tonnes of CO2 each year. Designed for flexibility and performance The plant's boilers were designed for maximum flexibility and performance. The boilers can utilize different fuels, and energy production can be controlled from a 25 to 100% load, depending on actual heat consumption or electricity prices. This allows the plant to maintain high availability when demand is high or adjusted in summer months when demand is lower. To ensure the most efficient utilization of wet fuel, energy in the flue gas is captured in a condensing unit before the gas exits through the plant's stack. With this solution, the boilers are integrated into the existing plant and provide the highest degree of flexibility. Production output can be adapted to the district heating needs and market situation in the electricity market.

Podcast Ep. 51, ARTISAN FASHION IN KENYA
If you've listened to this Episode on iTunes already (don't forget to subscribe - it's free), welcome to the SHOW NOTES. Or scroll down to LISTEN.
We have a Patreon page. Love the podcast? To support, Click here .
This is the second installment of a 2-part series about the UN's Ethical Fashion Initiative, a flagship programme of the International Trade Centre. The EFI connects skilled artisans in places like Kenya, Mali, Burkina Faso, Haiti and Afghanistan, to the international value chain of fashion, working with the likes of Stella McCartney, Vivienne Westwood, Adidas and the Australian accessories house MIMCO.
In this Episode - recorded on the ground in Nairobi, Kenya - we get to hear from the artisans themselves, and discover why Artisan Fashion now runs the organisation here as a social enterprise. And we learn how fair work can empower women - from the women themselves.
How does all this happen? What does a fair work accessories factory look like, and how do the workers see value in the setup? How about in community hubs, where skilled artisans can work as collectives?
Robin MacAndrew is MD of Artisan Fashion. In December 2015, the ITC formalised the handover of its EFI operations in Kenya to private company Artisan Fashion. They say: "Our work practices and operations are guided by the Fair Labour Association (FLA) Code of Conduct. Through collaboration with the International Trade Centre Ethical Fashion Initiative and the R.I.S.E. framework monitoring, we ensure our business is socially and environmentally responsible."
R.I.S.E. reports. RISE is a tool developed by the UN's Ethical Fashion Initiative to monitor and track the impact of producing fashion items. The aim is to ensure that production activities take place within an ethical and fully traceable supply chain. RISE aims to highlight the various skills involved, the attention to detail and the handmade quality of the product. The information gathered is made public, thus responding to the growing consumer demand for supply chain transparency.
Business with purpose. One of our favourite subjects. Make sure you listen to the podcast with Lily Cole for more inspiration on this.
"CoNsumers feel a greater sense of global citizenship...i think businesses that are unable to explain what it is that they do beyond lookng afer the bottom line will cease to be relevant. i think you're going to have to be able to show, as any business globally, that you offer something positive to society." - robin macandrew
Start with Why is a book by author and speaker Simon Sinek. He says, ""If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."
Korogocho slum is home to 150,000 to 200,000 people pressed into 1.5 square kilometres, northeast of Nairobi city centre. There is little formal infrastructure serving Korogocho's residents. Most housing was built by families living there, and is made of found or recycled materials. Despite this, many of the residents pay land rent for the right to live there. Others pay rent. There is no central sewer system or piped fresh water. There is no system of street lighting, resulting in increased insecurity and the construction of special lighted safe areas by government and NGOs. With poor infrastructure, few resources, overcrowding, and proximity to the dump, health in Korogocho is poor. All this is from Wikipedia, but we don't doubt it's true. And yet. And yet. This place is also a place of beauty and hope. This place is a place where women get together and make change. Where they support one another and work collectively to sustain their families and communities.
Maasai beading tradition. The Maasai community is comprised of 16 sections (known in Maa as Iloshon). Maasai art is dominated by beadwork, a tradition that dates back hundreds of years. The beadwork is different from section to section. Initially, Maasai women used dried grass, sticks, clay, seeds, and shells as materials. Today they use plastic and glass beads. Since beading is skilled and time-consuming, as Robin notes, it can be socially impactful work. It's also beautiful. And damn hard to learn...

Parents, we all know you're really looking for a way to get those kids so worn out you can bring them home with smiles and dive for the couch to watch your favourite Netflix show. Just kidding, you want to go out and spend your entire weekend with them laughing and dancing into the sunset, don't you? (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge). Well, whether it's the crisp air of rainforest walks, sumptuous fare at the local farmers' market or the smell of freshly ground coffee that will get you out and about with your family, these spots are sure to not disappoint! We've rounded up our guide of the best things to do on the Sunshine Coast with kids. You're welcome!
- Peace out on the serene short walk of the Bushland Sculpture Garden Botanic Gardens at Tanawha. Meander through lush, rich rainforest, which will not only fill the lungs with fresh air but maintain some sanity throughout the whole family. And may even tame a tantrum or two.
- Kawana Farmers Markets on Saturdays offers tired parents a relaxing and food-fuelled morning. Push or walk the kidlets around collecting a feast of local and fresh fare then sit by the newly upgraded playground to let the young ones run wild while you zone out into your coffee.
- The Big Pineapple still stands as proud ever as an historical piece of Sunshine Coast history. And it's not just host to a pumping annual music festival, it's also home to Wildlife HQ. This affordable cosy zoo houses native and exotic animals from around the world. Better still? Under threes are FREE!
- There's a boat, a train, a bee show, ice cream, and gingerbread men to decorate. PLUS there's an enclosed playground right next to the cafe! The Ginger Factory at Yandina really knows how to cater to yawning mums and dads.
- Apart from super gorge farm animals and dairy tastings galore, the factory tour of Maleny Dairies is a must! Tiny tots will learn how their milk gets from paddock to bottle, with a chance to taste the milk straight from the cow's udder. But really this is where dad gets to spray the kids as payback for screaming the entire way there in the car. But all your troubles will melt away as soon as you bottle feed the baby calves and goats. Yep, it's cuteness central here.
- Want the best view of the Glass House Mountains? The Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve is a short rainforest walk with everything and more for youngsters wanting to let off some energy, while discovering all the creepies and crawlies in this living museum. Learning AND fun? Win! Oh, and best of all you can all chill out afterwards with milkshakes and cake at the Mountain View Cafe.
- Camping with kids has never been so easy at Cobb and Co Nine Mile Camping Grounds with a huge wooden pirate park, bike tracks, horses, tractor rides and canoeing. Let's just say if you want the kids entertained on your camp trip, here's your spot!
- Graham Stewart Park may not sound all glitter and rainbows but the kids will love scooting and tooting their bikes around this super rad bike park at Currimundi. And better still, it's fenced! Those little tackers will never be able to leave your sight mwahahaha!
- Tapas and fine beverages mums and dads? Then head check out The Local at Bli Bli. There's a licensed restaurant right in front of a spectacular playground, Flying fox included, woot!
- Opal's Down Under might pose as an elegant tourist pit stop to buy exquisite jewellery, but out back it's gem fossicking central. Fossicking introduces children to the wonders of geology and for just $8 each child can take home their very own jar of magical crystals. Aw.
- It's no wonder they've aptly named themselves the "Funshine Coast" with Holey Moley mini golf and Strike Bowling now open in the heart of the Coast's central night strip at Maroochydore. The "Caddyshack" cocktail bar serves sparkly drinks and the full kitchen dishes up American-inspired burgers, hot dogs and loaded fries. It's open seven days a week, from 11am until late. But under 18s must be out by 9pm. However, we're pretty sure mum and dad will have you tucked in by then. Themselves at least!
- Mt Ngungun is not the highest, nor the easiest of the Glass House Mountains, but it is scenic, accessible and fun. The track begins in an open forest with a fern understory and the summit provides spectacular close-up views of nearby Mount Tibrogargan, Mount Coonowrin and Mount Beerwah. Now, on ya bike! I mean, hike.
- Pull out your beatnik flair and pile into the car with your picnic blankets, gourmet foodie spread, and a cheeky bottle of fizz for the oldies, because Peregian Originals is a pretty happening place to chill on a Sunday arvo. Best yet this outdoor live music event is uber family friendly. It's held on the second Sunday of each month at Peregian Beach Park.

Real Madrid trained at the Doosan Arena on Tuesday night ahead of their Champions League match against Viktoria Plzen and Vinicius and Casemiro performed some keepy-uppies together.
These weren't ordinary keepy-uppies, though, with the two Brazilians showing off their skill by controlling the ball behind their standing legs.
Although Marcelo is out injured, the forward and midfielder made sure there was some still Brazilian flair on show.

VCSO: Local Attorney Arrested On Domestic Violence Charge
New Smyrna Beach, FL – A prominent local attorney is arrested on a domestic violence charge.
Volusia County Sheriff's Office says they were called to the home of 54-year-old Allan Ziffra – one of the founding members of the Rue & Ziffra law firm – for a domestic disturbance close to midnight last Friday.
According to the report Christina Ziffra, Ziffra's wife, states she entered their bedroom while he was sleeping and turned on a light. She then said when he awoke the two engaged in an argument.
She then said she grabbed his phone and left the bedroom and went to their pool deck where she threw his phone in the pool. Ziffra then locked her out of the bedroom and chased her across the pool deck.
When she attempted to run back into the house, Ziffra grabbed her by the hair and threw her against the wall, which caused a small cut on her shoulder. She states she was then pushed to the ground. She advised she was eventually able to get away from Ziffra and back into the house.
Ziffra told deputies he was woken up by his wife and the two engaged in an argument and that she threw his phone in the pool. He then got his phone from the pool, dried off, and went back to bed according to the report.
He has since been released.
This is Ziffra's second domestic violence arrest.
Ziffra was also arrested back in 2011 by St. Augustine police after he pushed down and punched Shawna Miro, his fiance at the time.
He was not prosecuted for the 2011 charge.

I may be able to make it up that way on Saturday, so I may see you then. Wish I could participate in the events, last year it was so much fun doing the tying demos. I see that they have the tyers spread out this year, interesting idea.

Hey Travis,
It was a blast doing the tying demos last year. Looking forward to it again this year. I noticed that they spread the tying tents out too. Looks like there will be 3 or 4 tyers per tent, instead of all of the tyers tying in one large tent. Sounds like a great idea.
Looking forward to T-fest. See you there.

From his Seattle office, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz has seen enough and is leading what amounts to a boycott of political contributions until Congress and President Obama work out a plan that restores faith in the American economy.
"Right now, our economy is frozen in a cycle of fear and uncertainty," Schultz wrote this week to other corporate leaders. "Companies are afraid to hire. Consumers are afraid to spend. Banks are afraid to lend."
"Our national elected officials from both parties have failed to lead," he says. "They have chosen to put partisan and ideological purity over the wellbeing of the people. They have undermined the full faith and credit of the United States. They have stirred up fears about our economic prospects without doing anything to truly address those fears."
Schultz said the way to get the attention of politicians is to cut off campaign contributions. "We invite leaders of businesses — indeed all concerned Americans — to join us in this pledge."
The initial communication was an email to 3,000 publicly traded companies. Apparently officials at U.S. stock exchanges forwarded the letter to a broader audience, where his appeal appeared to gain traction. While Starbucks isn't a major political contributor, Schultz' call to action could catch on and hit political figures where it hurts — their campaign war chests.
Schultz also called on corporate leaders to act to accelerate job creation, even if it means in some cases replacing services curtailed by federal, state and local spending reductions. "We have a responsibility as well as an opportunity not to be bystanders, but to act in ways that can ease the collective anxiety," Schultz wrote in a separate email to employees.
Schultz, reportedly the highest paid CEO in the Pacific Northwest, joins Warren Buffett in the business bully-pulpit. In a New York Times op-ed piece this week, Buffett wrote, "My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress. It's time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice." Citing the growing gap between rich and poor citizens, Buffett said taxing America's wealthiest citizens a little more would help restore faith in the federal government's ability to deal with the nation's fiscal problems.
Starbucks has gone through a period of closing coffee shops and reducing its employment levels. But since January, the coffee giant has hired 36,000 people in the United States and Canada and says it expects to hire as many as 70,000 more people in the next year. After Schultz dispatched his email, Starbucks stock price rose 47 cents. That could be due in part to a recovering stock market following last week's volatile and steep declines in the wake of the Standard & Poor's action to lower the U.S. debt rating and continuing fears about debt in many European Union member nations.

Obesity / Compulsive Behaviour/
Obesity is a world wide problem, which is a major limitation to confidence and creative living.!
A woman in her early 40's who was overweight for many years, decided to give Metamorphosis a go. She observed positive change in a friend practising Meta, who had a similar 'block'. When I first met the woman in my practice she was lethargic, struggling with diets and exercise, followed by excessive eating and a sedentary lifestyle. The pattern went on repeating itself until, with the practise of Meta, she began the journey of "responsibility" for the 'imbalance' or block which was the source of her compulsion. She informed me that her mother and grandmother had lived with a similar struggle and she wished to stop the cycle, being concerned that two of her three young children were showing signs of obesity.
The woman's progress was slow at the beginning, as on occasions she arrived for Meta treatments having forgotten to practise her Hand Symbols. She had succumbed to the habit of excessive eating and lethargy. However, the times she chose to practise the Hand Symbols she observed that she was more in the "moment" and in "action" instead of sitting on the couch indulging. The positive new habit was beginning to replace the old blocked state. Within a few months the woman was graduating from regular walks to cycling to work daily. She was pleased to be engaging in exercise while saving parking money.
The woman's enthusiasm for Meta grew as her energy and confidence increased, she decided to attend my seminars to gain more understanding of Metamorphosis. The whole family dynamics began to change, as she did Meta treatments with her husband and children and encouraged them to do the Hand Symbols. The children were watching less TV and the home was becoming more alive with discussions of their next cycle adventure at the weekends. The fast food take outs becoming a thing of the past, as she had the energy and desire to cook and eat healthy food.
Remember that all compulsive behaviour whether it be obesity, anorexia, bulimia, alcohol, drug addiction, etc are an imbalance which can be addressed creatively with Meta. Robert St John observed that the balance of Afference and Efference creates "natural energy", in which Afference flows through without hindrance into the action of life. It has been my experience in practice, that the people with compulsions and addictions who do Meta as a way of life, cease the repeated patterns of behaviour by their own creation, rather then discipline.
The pattern of obesity in the woman's family was a repeated pattern out of the past. The many therapies she sought in the past, encouraged discipline and diets, which Meta obviates. Metamorphosis gave the woman the opportunity to be creative and take responsibility for her own behaviour and as she began the change of pattern in herself, so began the positive fundamental change in all her family.
The change with Metamorphosis is fundamental and therefore permanent. If you wish to be free of the struggle and discipline of diets etc, practise Meta.

We also discuss poetry as a means of capturing the experience of being Black in America, briefly discussing the works of poets like Sojourner Truth, Claude McKay, Langston Hughes, Julian Bond and Jayne Cortez. The show wraps up with a discussion of the brilliant National Book Award Finalist-- Citizen: An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine.

An Easy Way To Get Into A Trance State
A trance state is simply turning inwards to varying degrees from a deep trance to a very light trance. You are in a trance state most of the day from when you watch tv to driving your car to sleeping. You know when you are driving and then all of a sudden you are at your destination but you have no recollection of how you got there? That is a trance state! See it's easy, you're doing it all the time! But when we want to get into a trance state to do intuitive work, for some reason it becomes hard.
This simple technique is called 4x4 breathing and will help you get into that state quickly and easily!
You breath in for 4 counts.
Hold for 4 counts.
Breath out for 4 counts.
Hold for 4 counts.
That's it! (Even typing that starts to put me into a trance state...)
You only need to do this a few times.
Let me know how this technique worked for you in the comments below!
