What's so wrong with the idea of a new world order?
There is more power among a few than any of us can imagine. They're deeply imbedded and the public is naive. There's not much we can do anyway. This video is just a small example.
The second one will take a little while to load so wait for it.

Human Growth Hormone (HGH), also known as the "Fountain of Youth," plays a critical role in your body's growth.
It fights off weight gain and erectile dysfunction in men as well as regulating menstrual flow in women.
Unfortunately, growth hormone (HGH) imbalance is common as we age.
There are several types of hormone replacement therapy for women and hormone therapy for men that will make you feel like your old self again.
Our therapies can revive focus, energy, and strength so you can continue to feel younger for a longer period of time. Below we'll talk about some sign of hormonal imbalance in men and women so you can keep a lookout.
Signs of Growth Hormone Imbalance
Sexual health issues are a well-known symptom of growth hormone (HGH) imbalance. Some of the most common of these include erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence. Many types of Hormone Therapy can combat these issues over a period of just six months.
One type of hormone therapy that can benefit men is Testosterone Therapy.
Testosterone is the male sex hormone, and it is responsible for nearly all male characteristics such as deep voice, facial hair and bigger muscles.
As men hit their 50s and 60s, "Low-T," or low testosterone can occur, which can lead to erectile dysfunction and reduced sex drive.
Testosterone Therapy is a safe and healthy way to gain your vitality and feel young again.
Thyroid Therapy Helps with Growth Hormone (HGH) Imbalance
Other signs of growth hormone (HGH) imbalance are thinning hair, fatigue and muscle aches. Thyroid Therapy combats this through several easy treatments. The thyroid is a gland in the neck behind the Adam's apple that maintains cells' ability to turn nutrients into energy. Low thyroid hormone levels can lead to the aforementioned symptoms.
At HealthGAINS, we can create a program for you to bring your thyroid hormones back to an optimal level so these symptoms can disappear. The program may include taking bioidentical thyroid replacement hormones, as well as diet and lifestyle recommendations.
Growth Hormone (HGH) Imbalance and Sermorelin Therapy
Although Sermorelin is not a hormone, it is a hormone-releasing factor that encourages the production of growth hormone (HGH). It plays an important part in hormone therapy.
Sermorelin is only available with a doctor's prescription. Some improvements patients have noticed with Sermorelin Therapy include improved skin texture and elasticity, better sleep and reduced sleep disturbance, and improved bone density and strength.
Hormone Therapy Should Be Unique to Each Patient
The most effective hormone replacement therapy for women and for men are designed around each patient's lifestyle and medical history. This way, you and your physician can ensure that you achieve maximum results. Using a personalized approach, many patients have experienced an elevated mood and increased libido.
Get Treatment for Growth Hormone (HGH) Imbalance Today.
During the first month of growth hormone (HGH) replacement therapy, you will notice that you have improved stamina and increased energy, followed by firmer muscles and strength increase in Month 2, and by the sixth month you will even have a stronger immune system and better cardiovascular health!
Personalized Hormone Therapy treatments are available at HealthGAINS. Learn more about your hormone levels and make an appointment today for a free consultation.

History of Type Design
I wanted the timeline to allude to a watch face- thinking about type through time.
My goal was to promote thoughts of not only the past, but future of typography. Therefore, I used a contemporary typeface such as Gotham and combined it with colors that would give off a Russian Constructivist look.

Social Anxiety? This is the time of Year!/
So here we are...at a time when it seems that all social occasions (all right, slight exaggeration) are squeezed into, at best, a four week space...your spouse's office Christmas party, the kids' school programs and parties, neighborhood open houses, family in-law, and what may be worse, "out-law" gatherings, and what did I miss? But you get the picture.
And all of this on top of our own preparations of cleaning, decorating, cooking, shopping, wrapping...
And did I mention the heart preparation of Advent, peace on earth, joy in the Lord, scripture, song, prayer?
Let's take a breath and just look at what can help tremendously with the "social anxiety" of it all!
Years ago, when I was raising a young family, I used to listen religiously to Christian radio, especially Focus on the Family (Dr Dobson), Insight for Living (Chuck Swindoll), and Midday Connection (Moody Radio).
One day on one of those programs, there was a speaker (I wish I had noted who) talking on this very topic of the social situations we find ourselves in.
Here is the heart of what the speaker said that day which has stayed with me all these years. And I find that when I keep these simple truths in mind when I enter almost any situation involving people, everything changes in my mind and heart. When I don't, it all can crash and burn really fast!
Here's the gist of what was shared that day (with some slight tweaking on my part):
Most people, when they enter a social situation, say (in their attitude),
"Here I am! Pay attention to ME! Ask about ME!"
(or I might add, if you are an introvert, you may be saying, "Here I am! Don't pay attention to ME! Don't ask about ME! let ME hide somewhere!").
Notice where the focus is -- on ME, either way.
Rather, better to enter a social situation, saying,
"There YOU are! Let me pay attention to YOU! Let me ask about YOU!"
Why not try this the next time you are with people...which for most of us, is every day of our lives?
Ask the Holy Spirit to remind you to shift focus off of yourself onto the other person, present in the moment right then.
I think Jesus lived that way, present to the people right there before Him...especially the "invisible people" -- those whom the crowd (a.k.a the beautiful, acceptable people) around Him never "saw," or tried not to see...the handicapped, the "insane," the outcasts, the un-religious, the "sinners."
Who is "invisible" to you and your "crowd" today, where you are? Why not say to one of them the next time,
"There YOU are! Let me pay attention to YOU! Let me ask about YOU!"
Maybe...just maybe...you and I can be Christ's instruments to reach out to those around us this Christmas season.
After all, HE is the indwelling, loving Christ, the greatest gift of all to be sharing with all the others we encounter each day.
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
[a prayer from my childhood, the prayer of St Francis of Assisi]

Oh, 2016. You are a doozie.
2015 was a very trying year for my family. I had hoped that when we ushered 2016 in, we would be done with transition and change. I was wrong.
Two weeks ago, my husband abruptly lost his job. No warning, no signs. Any time a job is lost, it hits a family hard. But when you're a single-income homeschooling family, it's a Really Big Issue.
The night we found out, I sat down with my computer and applied for every job I could find. I was so lucky and so blessed to find a job in under a week as an editor for an Atlanta-area publishing company. And I'm actually getting to use my English degree, which is awesome.
But it's a huge change.
It's a change for me, a change for JC, and a change for my husband. It's a change for our schedule, our co-ops, and my writing. And, to put it lightly, I am change adverse.
I wish I could say that this was going to be the last change for awhile, and that my family was going to sail along smoothly through the rest of 2016. But I don't think it it. I think there's a lot more transition in store for us.
There's a funny thing about being a parent: when things happen, or the sh!t hits the fan, or something happens that you need time to process…well, tough. Sometimes you just have to put on your big girl panties and slap a big smile on your face to keep things normal for your kid. And that's just what I've been doing.
We're having a major plot twist right now. But every good story needs a couple of plot twists, right? That's what makes it interesting. That's what makes it better.
There's always a silver lining. I love editing, and I'm getting to put that fancy degree that's hanging on my wall to use. JC is getting to experience different teaching styles and ideas while his dad pitches in with homeschooling. And I get a chance to be the parent he's SUPER excited to see at the end of the day…which is pretty cool.
Have you had any major life changes happen recently? How do you deal with life's plot twists?

Standing in the hallway of Austin Polytech, Stran'Ja Burge, 18, adjusted her burgundy graduation cap and shifted her weight restlessly from one foot to the other. Her four-year-old high school was about to graduate its first senior class, but for Ms. Burge, the end of high school had still not registered.
"It hasn't hit me yet," she said, carefully clasping her hands a few inches from her waist so as not to wrinkle her gown.
Austin Polytechnical Academy opened on the West Side of Chicago in 2007 as the city's first and only career academy dedicated to occupations in high-skill manufacturing. On June 12, the school sent its first 92 graduates into that understaffed job market, many with industry-recognized credentials, internship experience and more than three years of engineering classes on their transcripts.
The school, developed as part of the Renaissance 2010 initiative by Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, then chief executive of Chicago Public Schools, aims to prepare students to fill some of the nation's estimated three million vacant positions in science, technology, engineering and math. The ambitious plan seeks to engage private-industry companies to help train the students, all of them from a community that has watched local industry flee, unemployment climb and foreclosure rates soar to the highest in the city.
Where graduates go from here — work force or college, inside or outside the community — will be a test of achievement for Austin Polytech.Continue reading the main story
Since September, the Chicago News Cooperative has followed three students: Stran'Ja Burge and Marquiese Travae Booker, both seniors, and Deandre Joyce, a junior. In that time, the school has endured wrenching changes, many of them emblematic of a larger instability within C.P.S. as leaders seek to reform one of the country's largest and most troubled public school systems .
Two separate narratives about the school have emerged: one public and one private; one filled with success, the other fraught with troubles.
In the positive narrative, the Center for Labor and Community Research, a nonprofit organization, helped Austin Polytech obtain accreditation for its machine shop through the National Institute for Metalworking Skills, becoming the only high school in Illinois to earn that classification. The school also rolled out two job-shadowing programs, secured summer jobs and internships for 36 students, and saw 89 students earn 123 industry-recognized certificates.
But it was also a year of nearly constant fits and starts by the C.P.S. system, sapping energy from teachers, administrators and students. In October, school district officials placed Austin Polytech on probation for poor academic performance. In February, students learned that the interim principal would be leaving at the end of the school year. In March, C.P.S. backed off a plan to merge Austin with the Austin Business and Entrepreneurship Academy after a community uproar. In May, the principal fired seven teachers, nearly a quarter of Polytech's teaching staff, prompting a flurry of union grievances, followed by a student walkout and sit-in that resulted in the suspension of 36 students. (The suspensions were later rescinded and stricken from the students' records.)
Yet for students like Ms. Burge, who is ranked in the top 10 of her class, as well as for Mr. Joyce and Mr. Booker, much of the hurly-burly has been a sideshow to the usual rites of passage: college applications, ACTs, prom, final exams and future plans. The unrest at the school was more a nuisance than anything else, they said.
What comes next is different for each: Ms. Burge will attend college at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, where she will play basketball and pursue a degree in engineering. Mr. Booker landed a job at the Laystrom Manufacturing Company, where he interned last summer. Mr. Joyce hopes to stay on track during his senior year, raise his ACT score from an 18 to a 20, and then decide what will come next: college or work.
Despite the school's tumultuous year, Ms. Burge said she had enjoyed her time at Austin Polytech. It gave her the opportunity to take advanced-placement calculus, travel to Washington on behalf of the school and participate in student government.
The home environment was tougher. Ms. Burge often waited until everyone in the house was asleep before cracking her books. After coming home, she would sleep from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m., then wake up and work on school assignments until 2 a.m. It was the only time the house was quiet, she said.
As she headed off to school a few days before the graduation ceremony, Ms. Burge walked by her uncle sleeping on the front porch. He struggles with addiction and her grandmother lets him sleep there, she said, adding that his example was an impetus to work harder.
"I'm not like 'Aw because my uncle's a crackhead, then I'm not going to go to school,' " she said last fall. "I'm going to do the reverse and because I see him do that, this is why I'm going to school every day and this why I'm going to college." She is the first in her family to pursue college outside Illinois.
When Mr. Booker was not playing baseball or practicing with the bowling team, he spent the year working at Harold's Chicken and trying to figure out what came next. Then an opportunity presented itself. Laystrom Manufacturing offered Mr. Booker a position, created just for him, in the quality control department. He took the job.
On graduation day, waiting in the hallway of Polytech in his cap and gown, a visitor asked him if he was excited about his new job. "Yes," he said, giving way to a big smile. "I really, really am."
In the auditorium, Deandre Joyce, 18, looked on, expecting that next year, his senior year, he will be up on the stage. His junior year went well enough, he said, though there were rough spots. He was kicked off the basketball team after a disagreement with his coach. His grades. he said, foundered after he and his grandmother were forced out of their apartment because of flood damage. In the winter, his two front teeth were knocked out after he was elbowed in the jaw in a pickup basketball game.
"All I want for Christmas are my two front teeth," he said he sang to the doctor as he was fitted for false ones.
The spring protest over the teachers' firing was a highlight of his year, Mr. Joyce said. He was among the 36 students suspended for participating in the walkout and sit-in. "Our voices can be heard," he said. "There is power in numbers."
As the seniors crossed the stage to receive their diplomas, they danced, dipping, shaking, pumping their fists victoriously. When Mr. Booker's name was called, he pulled a pair of guitar-shaped sunglasses out of his pocket, put them on and shimmied across the stage to shake the principal's hand. Ms. Burge danced across the stage as her family cheered her on.
Outside after the ceremony, students received congratulatory hugs and posed for photographs with family and friends. At the end of the street, Police Officer Brian Tierney, a neighborhood beat officer, parked his cruiser in the middle of the street.
Mr. Tierney opened his door, turned on his public address system and offered the students some parting words.
"Congratulations," he said. "Now, do the right thing."Continue reading the main story

City Hall last week put a price tag on the cost of Gov. Cuomo's meddling in the 421-a tax-break wars: $82 million a year for the taxpayers of the five boroughs, all so Cuomo could win some love from the building-trades unions.
And that assumes the gov's plan makes it through the Legislature, where other interests might yet push up the price even more. Or just clog things up so that the break stays dead — which would stop construction of new, non-luxury housing in the city.
Mayor de Blasio shares some blame here: He opened Pandora's box two years back by pushing to revise, not simply renew, the break to do more for affordable housing.
But Cuomo's the major villain: The mayor had worked out a deal with the real-estate lobby, and state lawmakers were set to OK it, until the gov jumped in to demand a bigger piece of the pie for construction workers.
Mind you, union members have plenty of top-wage work these days, thanks to all the MTA expansion plus projects like the new Tappan Zee Bridge.
But Cuomo didn't care: He held up renewal of the break, demanding that 421-a projects pay far above-market wages to construction workers. That wound up killing the program altogether — even though it's the only way anyone's going to build middle-class housing in much of the city.
The gov finally got around to forcing a new 421-a accord between the unions and developers late last year — but has yet to get the Legislature to sign on. Meanwhile, he's alienated lawmakers of all parties by messing with both their hoped-for pay hike and with pork-barrel spending that was already approved.
Cuomo was once city taxpayers' best hope for relief from de Blasio's misrule. If he's now going to add to the pain, the Big Apple is in big trouble.

These $9 gloves let you grab a hot pan out of the oven, pull meat right off a grill, or even turn logs in an active campfire without getting burned, like some kind of Thanksgiving superhero. We've seen silicone barbecue gloves for less than this in the past, but these are rated for much higher temperatures, and should be more flexible as well.

Have you ever felt confused about clothing choices in the workplace?
You can usually work out what definitely isn't appropriate, but many still struggle to work out exactly what the new standards are.
In my opinion, what is appropriate for your work wardrobe comes down to showing yourself at your best, being respectful of others, and gaining their respect back.
As Sylvia Ann Hewlett states in her book featuring research on Executive Presence,
"Your appearance should focus your audience on your professional competencies, not distract from them"
Here are 10 simple rules to follow to ensure you are displaying professional courtesy in the workplace.
1. While some people 'get away with' dressing in clothes that might be deemed too casual for the workplace, do you really want to take the chance that you look too informal?
Don't underestimate the message your clothes are sending to the leaders in your organisation, who believe me are always looking out to see who has potential. Think about your appearance and dress for the job you want. Looking put together and well groomed sends positive messages.
2. It's important to stand out as a professional. 'Finishing' an outfit or looking 'put together' is key.
This means there's more you can do once you've picked out your dress or top and trousers. You need to add accessories (just not noisy ones), wear shoes that aren't scuffed, and be sure your nails and hair are groomed. Your work outfit isn't finished until you've attended to these extra details.
3. Check the mirror once or twice before you leave the house in the morning. Consider installing good lighting in your wardrobe. If you don't have a decent sized full-length mirror, you need to get one! Check yourself from all angles. Is your hem coming down? Are there stains on your jacket? Is your bum coated in cat hair?
4. Wear enough makeup to have a 'polished' look. Having a too-made-up face makes you look overdone and is a distraction. Wearing no makeup is not professional either, a discussion that comes up a lot with me with my clients. Consider a minimum of a lip tint or tinted balm and some eye definition with mascara, neutral eye shadows or brow pencils. I would really encourage you to get a professional opinion if this isn't your strong suit. My go to brand for beginners is either Bobbi Brown or Bare Minerals.
5. Appropriate coverage ensures that no one gets the wrong message or a mixed message at work. Revealing clothes are another distraction from your abilities. Don't show cleavage, don't gape between buttons or wear short skirts. You shouldn't be tugging or pulling at your clothes to make them more comfortable or more modest. There are too many other things your mind should be on, and your clothes shouldn't be one of them.
6. Unless it's part of your established Personal Brand or the job that you do, your work outfits shouldn't be the place where you express your strong creative side. But this doesn't mean you need to look boring. Again, getting the right mix is important and a little flair in your outfit can make all the difference to help you stand out from the crowd, especially in more traditional professions.
7. Consider what is or isn't age appropriate. Looking either too old or too young can be detrimental to your professional image. Looking professional is easier if your wardrobe has a large dose of basics in neutral colours, in natural fibres with few details like ruffles, bows, or buttons. Be careful though, as too much of a classic look can make you look old and frumpy. Simple, but stylish. Current trends with more colour and detail may have a place in your work wardrobe, but being dressed in daring, exaggerated styles can make you look too young.
8. Keep the noisy jewellery at home! Don't wear accessories that can be distracting to your workmates. Avoid stacking lots of bangles, which can clank against each other with every keystroke you make on your computer. Less is more. Having a few but distinctive accessory focal points is a great idea.
9. Check the fit of your clothes. I find most people wear clothes that are a size too big. Oversized, crumpled clothes take away your credibility as you can appear to lack self-awareness and look sloppy. The antidote to this look is well-fitting clothes in fabrics that don't crease too easily. Are they in need of some alterations? If you need some help, I can assess what's worth fixing and what isn't.
10. Remember your deodorant and a little perfume. As the days get warmer, a deodorant is essential and an addition of a bit of a scent helps to keep you smelling fresh all day.
Wouldn't it be nice to completely stop thinking about what to wear to work, and to know that you look your best while you're doing your best?
I'd be happy to help you put your wardrobe together, so you're seen as the asset you are.

The Magic of Butterfly Medicine
Butterflies have been showing up for me everywhere. It felt like an inner awareness that Spring is coming early and that life as I know it, was AGAIN about to shift. No biggie! I'm a pro at rolling with changes, but this one feels different! I have been clinging to life as I know it, even though everything is different. Last night on the full moon, I pulled a butterfly card and the words really helped ease me further into this big change. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did, "It takes faith to find yourself at this moment of rebirth. You have to let go of old forms, allow your former identity to fall away and trust the void. Did the caterpillar ever dream it would have wings? In trust it spins a dark canon in which it experiences a death of an old way of life and awaits transformation into new form. Surrender to this process and you will be rewarded with the birth of your dreams into form. It there anything as miraculous as the sight of newly formed wings of a butterfly unfurling? You could not have imagined the full beauty of your destiny. You can only grow into it. Do not imagine that the energy of rebirth is identical to the energy of infancy. The first flight of the butterfly is not an immature flight like that of a baby bird. The butterfly does not need the same time to work up courage and adjust to its new wings. It has already been through birth, growth and going within to release its early, immature version of itself. You have now transformed yourself into a mature whole expression. Get right down to the business of surrendering to your new life without delay or hesitation.

Body Language
"I think it is important to have body awareness before you go into an interview," she said. There are many actions and habits that we should consider doing or avoid doing to tell the right story during the interview setting.

Job Interviews – The Components to Success
The components that an interviewer makes judgments on when first meeting someone includes, but is not limited to:
- Posture
- Eye contact
- Personal Grooming
- Clothes
- Body Language
Your Posture: Confidence is projected when you walk tall with your head up and shoulders back. Ideally your posture should embody a confident and friendly entrance into the reception and continue when you are greeted by the interviewer. During the interview, sit up straight with your bottom into the back of the chair, to project interest and alertness. You may wish to lean forward at certain stages of the conversation, but avoid taking up the interviewer's 'personal space' or appearing too eager or even desperate.
Eye Contact: Looking directly at the person you are speaking to is interpreted as a gesture of interest, trust and confidence, so ensure that this is done throughout the interview. You can also use a nod of the head to indicate understanding and agreement. It is advisable to smile your way through most of the interview – which will have the natural effect of putting the interviewer and yourself at ease.
Personal Grooming: This area involves all the things your mother told you about. Such things as clean facial hair (men), well manicured nails, use of deodorant, light make-up and fragrance etc. Be sure your breath will be fresh smelling, however under no circumstances should you be either chewing gum or have a mint in your mouth during the interview. For cigarette smokers, ensure that your clothes and hair do not smell of cigarettes, as this can be a real negative with employers.
Clothes: Your interview attire is very important. The general rule is to dress conservatively and professionally. Do not make the mistake of distracting the interviewer with obvious fashion mistakes – anything that is too bold, old or out of place could count against you. Women have more options than men regarding appropriate interview attire, but again the general safest rule is to think 'corporate.'
Body Language: If you are a person who uses their hands a lot for speaking, try to keep this to a minimum. This will not only distract the interviewer from your words but will break your eye contact. The less you use your arms and hands, the more powerful you will appear. Avoid sitting with your arms or legs crossed, which can be seen as an arrogant or defensive gesture. 'Mirroring' the body language of the interviewer is a good technique – as like people attract. If you reflect back the body language of the interviewer, you are more likely to make a positive impression and put them at ease.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.– The Indiana Historical Society has a new perk for Colts fans leading up to the playoff game Saturday.
Colts fans can get free admission as long as they're wearing team gear. The promotion runs through Saturday at their center downtown, located at 450 West Ohio Street.
The Indianapolis Colts exhibit is still up at the IHS, so Colts fans won't want to miss seeing items such as Peyton Manning's playbook wristband. You can also test your skills with interactive games, call controversial plays and take photos with players.
The Eugene and Marilyn Glick center downtown is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Opportunity
India is promoting entrepreneurship through its Make in India and Zero-Defect programs. The 12th national budget focused on entrepreneurship by committing INR 100,000 million to catalyze and attract private capital for equity, soft loans and other risk capital for start-up companies. Several nationwide incubation and accelerator programs have been initiated. Indian clean energy sector alone is a $US20 billion opportunity.
It has the potential to generate 10 million jobs in India by 2025 and is witnessing the emergence of energy entrepreneurs, who are ready with innovations in energy. The Indian startup ecosystem has really taken off and come into its own—driven by factors such as massive funding, consolidation activities, evolving technology and a burgeoning domestic market.
The numbers are telling—from 3,100 startups in 2014 to a projection of more than 11,500 by 2020, this is certainly not a passing trend. It's a revolution. And it's going to change the way the markets are working today in India.
Why Eco-Entrepreneurship?
Eco-Entrepreneurs are entrepreneurs whose business efforts are not only driven by profit, but also by a concern for the environment. Eco-entrepreneurship is about developing community oriented and market-based solutions by reducing consumption of resources, putting available resources to the best use and promoting products and services that recycle and reuse the resources. Eco entrepreneurship essentially demonstrates the concept of circular economy. Given the threat to the very sustainability of the planet, there is an urgent need to promote eco-entrepreneurship.
Below is the tentative course approach and structure.
Course Objectives:
- Increase knowledge of the opportunities in circular economy in the global as well as national context
- Provide training, mentoring and support for the launch of eco-entrepreneurship.
- Help develop agile thinking skills to understand and respond to complex environmental challenges as well as opportunities.
- Enhance leadership skills and through individual and team building activities
- Increase understanding of the need for green products and services
- Provide understanding of the financial basics required to launch a company
- Provide guidance on preparing and presenting the business plan
Course Pedagogy:
- The course will be delivered through a mix of classroom lectures with case studies.
- Learning will happen through the pedagogy of Project Case Work. Participants will work in groups to prepare business plans for Eco enterprises. The problem-solving process will be supported by facilitators who will provide knowledge and guidance.
- Discussion sessions, interaction with experts from government and private sector and field visits will also be the part of training program.
- Guest speakers will include entrepreneurs and consultants.
- Videos will be screened to generate discussions.
- Field Visits will include meeting with successful eco-entrepreneurs
- There will be a jury or panel of a mix of faculty and externals/potential investors who will award the best business plan.
Course Outcome:
- Participants come up with "Start-up Business Model" ready to launch their eco-enterprises
- Participants will be connected to investors and technical consultants
- At least 25% of the participants are expected to successfully venture out in the market with their green business ideas
Minimum Qualification Criteria:
Graduation in any discipline + 2 years' work experience and a well written 2 pager of Statement of Purpose (SOP) followed by an interview.
If you are interested in collaborating with us on the above course, write to us at email@example.com

New at Portsmouth - Naim, Ruark and B&W/
We have had several new exciting products arrive in store recently. I'm not going to go into much detail in this blog, but we may have a more in depth look in another blog soon.
Firstly the fantastic Naim Mu-so streaming system. Highly anticipated but still managed to surpassed our expectations with it's stunning sound quality. Well worth the £895 price tag. You could even use it as a soundbar for your TV!
Secondly, another top quality one box system. The Ruark R2 Mk2 £399 is a real step forward from it's predecessor. It loses the ipod dock on the top but gains Bluetooth, also gains a better display, is more intuitive to use, and sounds better.
Lastly, but certainly not least the new B&W CM series 2 speakers. We currently have the CM1 S2 £649, CM6 S2 £1499 (stands not included) and CM8 S2 £1499 models. The CM6 S2 shown below with it's distinctive tweeter on top. The CM1 S2 and CM8 S2 are a more traditional design with the tweeter in the speaker cabinet. All the models are a good improvement over the previous version but we particularly like the CM6 S2.

In the early 1960's Vaiba Rome, a young boy whose family were steadfast members of the London Missionary Society Church in Papua New Guinea, had his first experience with the power of prayer when his heart-felt prayer was answered in a time of great need, as he decided to collect coconuts for the family.
The best coconuts were in the tallest trees and he clambered up to collect both dry and green coconuts. While he was up high a strong wind arose, causing the coconut palm to swing and sway violently. Rome clung on tightly, realising that it would be difficult and dangerous to climb back down. Frightened, he decided to pray to his Heavenly Father for guidance and help. After several minutes of praying a peace came over him and he knew that he would be protected. He safely descended to the ground, and the experience became the beginning of a deep trust in his Heavenly Father.
Thus began Rome's preparation to become one of the pioneers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Papua New Guinea, and an important leader and protector of the faith.
Years after the above event, in 1980, Rome was living with his wife, Mauveri, and three children at the 2 Mile settlement in Port Moresby. Elder Douglas Campbell and his wife, a missionary couple from the USA visited the settlement. This missionary couple had found that the best way to meet the adults was to first become acquainted with the children and as a result, they would often have several children holding their hands, as they all walked through the settlement. Sister Mauveri, like all caring mothers, wanted to know more about these people who had befriended her children, so she started talking to them. This led to both Rome and Mauveri being taught the gospel and, soon after, being baptised members of the Church.
Rome was hungry for knowledge about the Gospel and made a practice of studying the scriptures every night. He found guidance and direction as he read and pondered the Doctrine and Covenants. About four months after his baptism, as he was studying the Bible and reading about Jesus Christ and the atonement and how the people treated the Saviour up to His crucifixion, the sweetest feeling came over him. Rome received a personal witness of the Saviour and His love for him. The experience was so intense that Rome states: "I cried like a little child, feeling the suffering the Saviour had to go through for us. I hid myself from my wife so that she would not see me crying".
With his testimony burning in his bosom, Rome wanted to share this with his parents, so he returned to their village to tell them about the gospel. Although his parents were active London Mission Society members, they listened to Rome's message and were touched by the Spirit. They were baptised, together with Rome's uncles and auntie, and soon after his three brothers and sister all joined the Church as well.
After their baptisms, there was a change in attitude towards them from the rest of the villagers, who became angry with them and would shout outside Rome's parent's home during sacrament meetings, and throw stones at the building. The persecutions continued, with villagers breaking into the home and smashing cupboards and other possessions. They threatened to shoot Rome and his parents. They placed logs across the road to members from attending meetings. Although some of the early converts succumbed to the persecution and left the Church out of fear, Rome and his immediate and extended family became closely bonded together knowing that they had the precious gift of the restored Gospel which was more precious than life itself.
When Rome joined the Church there were about twenty members attending sacrament meetings at the Red Cross building at 3 Mile, a suburb of Port Moresby. He willingly accepted callings to serve and in 1985, while serving as a teacher in Primary, he was called to serve as the Branch President of the Port Moresby Branch, which began a lifetime of faithful Church service. In 1990 he was called as the District President, following which he became the first Papua New Guinean Stake President in 1999.
Rome has had his testimony strengthened by many spiritual experiences during his years of leadership in the Church. His desire to serve his Heavenly Father has not dimmed or wavered with time. He continues to serve as a Counsellor to the Mission President and has an extremely important role of providing security for the Church. He is the Port Moresby's version of Helaman or Moroni as he protects the members, Church facilities, and all visiting Church leaders who come to Papua New Guinea to help in its growth. Many of these visits are to members who live in very remote places.
Rome has a maintained a strong testimony and often expresses his appreciation for the people with whom he has had the pleasure to associate with over the past thirty years. He has felt their influence through their dedication, sacrifice, and vision, not only for himself and his wife, but for all their children and grandchildren.
The Church has grown rapidly during this time of Rome's membership and service. From the previously mentioned twenty initial members, the Church has grown to include two stakes, twelve districts and one mission in 2011. The membership growth is averaging over 2500 a year as a result of missionary efforts. The opportunity for so many wonderful people in Papua New Guinea to hear the word of God would not have been possible without the strength and courage of pioneers such as Rome and his family.
The wonderful saints of Papua New Guinea have prospered and thrived as they have followed the teachings of the Saviour and many are great examples of the gospel in action in their communities and villages. They are indeed a light unto the people of Papua New Guinea.
(Rome and Mauveri are the parents of eight children: seven daughters and one son. Three daughters, Vami, Renagi and Diane, have served missions in Australia and New Zealand, and Elder Rome Jr. is currently serving a mission in Fiji.)

Support for The Republicans' French presidential nominee Francois Fillon has increased by 1 percentage point over the last 24 hours, while the prospects for victory for his chief rivals, French National Front (FN) party leader Marine Le Pen and independent candidate Emmanuel Macron, have not changed, an OpinionWay poll showed Friday.
Fillon is forecast to receive 21 percent of the vote at this Sunday's first election round, the survey's results showed, adding that the projection was 1 percent higher compared to Thursday results.
The survey also indicated that the chances of Le Pen and Macron to win the first round of the elections had not changed since Tuesday, as Le Pen is still projected to get 22 percentage of the vote and Macron likely to win with receive 23 percent.
According to the poll, Macron is projected to win the May run-off election with 64 percent of the vote in case he advances with Le Pen, whereas Fillon is expected to get 59 percent of the vote in the second round if going up against the FN party leader. On Thursday, Le Pen was likely to receive 35 percent of the vote if she went into the second round against Macron, and 43 percent if against rival Fillon.
The survey was conducted on April 18-20, ahead of Thursday night Paris shooting which left one policeman dead and two other people injured. The attack was described as a terrorist act by French authorities, and the perpetrator, who was killed by police, was reportedly a radicalized Belgian affiliated to Daesh.

The day will include two keynote presentations and a range of funding related 'workshops'. Funders will be also be available to answer questions and there will be displays and other relevant information available.
Community groups regularly identify the need for quality funding information and the Funding Expo will aim to provide this.

Having said that, as you guessed, more then four people asked me to make tutorials on two ponies from MLP and here is the first of the two. Up next, we will learn "how to draw dragon Applejack", step by step. So many people love Applejack and I think it's because of her spunky, outspoken personality. My little sister loves Applejack and when she seen this lesson on drawing a dragon version of Applejack she totally flipped. So I hope your expression is as exciting as my sisters. This is a fun concept to tackle so go ahead and enjoy.

It's simple and fun to design your individual clip art crafts to make distinctive items, greeting cards, dwelling décor and keepsakes for friends and family. I used to work on a lot of pure crafts outdoor once we lived within the woods however not so much now that we're within the metropolis. Martial Arts is superb for you, bodily, mentally and socially; you must give it a attempt! Fine arts film is a term that encompasses motion pictures and the sphere of movie as a fantastic artwork type. The initiative's mission is to energize and unify artists and arts organizations and connect the Bergen County community to the arts. Make these really cute little burro finger puppets by following the tutorial that you will discover at Crack of Dawn Crafts.
The felt fruits and vegetables make this an merchandise that the kids can play with with out worrying that they're going to tear the items. A unique aspect of this type is that it's western in origin, not one thing we might normally affiliate with older martial arts. ARTS reaches the targets of their core applications by providing a variety of providers to our students and community. This means that the Analysis from TRG Arts weblog will now not be on blogspot and this URL will re-direct you to the brand new blog. The subsequent deadline for purposes to the Arts Award Access Fund is the 21st October 2016.
So, the martial arts teacher should have the spirit of humility, kindness, respect in his phrases and actions. The intent is not to explore whether martial arts results in some ultimate reality or a non secular truth, nor to declare which type or school is healthier than one other, but the intent here is to explore what are the frequent and all the way down to earth advantages of training within the martial arts. It is evident that the Eastern martial arts are intently intertwined with their oriental religions of origin.
The children love doing this artwork project utilizing a tissue painted background behind the newspaper tissue painted birds. Arts Network offers a supportive welcoming space for individuals to discover their creativity, study new art, crafts and IT expertise, put structure into their days, make preparations for training, volunteering and paid work, interact in exhibitions and most significantly have fun, make friends and belong someplace as a part of a group. Im doing martial arts for about 20 years and love to assist others with finding their reply.
These are among the most popular arts and crafts on my article, which options these, and other projects, also embrace a hyperlink to the patterns, directions and pictures of the initiatives. This brings me to another level – influence from and upon religions related to martial arts. Over the years, there was a tremendous tuning of my understanding of what an individual will get from his or her martial arts coaching. I love this concept, you'll discover the tutorial for making this craft at dollar store crafts.

Friday March 16th, 2012 – Carpentersville, IL/Kenosha, WI
The birthday hangover continues, and I'm not complaining. Life is a constant series of ups and downs, and I'm learning to savor every second of the up times. They'll be gone soon enough, but then they'll come back again. It's a streak thing. I'm going to ride this wave as long as possible.
A couple of weeks ago, I was stuck in a rut where nothing went right. I was losing gigs left and right, my car was giving me fits and I was mired in a slump. One bad thing seemed to build upon the next, and it was miserable. Now it's exactly the opposite. One fun thing is leading to the next and I'm enjoying every minute of it. I wish it were like this always, but it isn't. But it is for now.
It's much like the amazing weather we're having. Of course it will change again at some point, but the smart thing to do is squeeze as much pleasure from the sun and warmth as possible before the sleet comes back again. That can last for several days too, but those days pass much slower.
This streak has been truly remarkable. I can't remember it ever being this summer like for this long of a stretch in mid-March in Illinois. I've seen the weather reports and it's warmer here now than traditional hotspots like Florida and Arizona. I don't care if it's a fluke or not, I'm loving it.
Today I had three more birthday meals in my honor, and who could be anything but delighted about that? Even one is a special treat, but so far I've had FIVE – with a couple more on the way. I'm not going to fight any of this; I'm just going to enjoy it. It will all be over with soon enough.
For breakfast, I met up with Jerry Agar's wife Ann and their kids Cooper and Kaelin. They are in town from Toronto visiting friends on spring break and also getting their house in Cary ready to be sold soon. They're going through a tough time, but that's how it is in radio. Jerry shouldn't have been gassed at WLS, and they should still be living there. But it didn't work out that way.
That's radio – and life too. This can be a cruel planet, especially when idiots have a say in what happens to someone's future. Jerry paid his radio dues and brought his family to Chicago with an intention they'd stay for the long haul. He did his part, and then was booted for no good reason.
Now the family has to move to another country to survive, and they have no choice. Those kids have a big adjustment, and it's not fair. They're dealing with it very well, but that whole situation makes me sick to my stomach. But it was great to relax for a little while and visit with them all.
Lunch was in Kenosha, WI with Mark Gumbinger. He is working on putting our 'Dented Can' DVD project in the hands of people who can sell it to some TV network somewhere in the world. If I'm a star in New Zealand or Guam, I'll take it. We now have a finished product to place in the hands of people, and that's what's being done. We had a delicious meal and a lot of laughs too.
Dinner was with a nice young lady, and also very relaxed and fun. The food and company were excellent, and again all I could do was enjoy the moment. It doesn't always work out as perfectly as this, but today it happened three times in a row. Good times with good people can't be beat.

A photographers summer
I guess for many of us summer is a season we all look forward to because we have a better chance of knowing that the weather will be nice, water warm, fruits fresh etc. However, living in Singapore for such a long time I have missed the seasons leading up to summer, the weather was constantly 35 degreas Celsius. Moving to Malta, being closer to Sweden and within Europe I got to have a short taste of winter (well, Maltas winter 10 deg) and some easter when I visited Sweden. Its probably easy for me to say, but sometimes I do miss the cold winters.
It is okay to go crazy during the summer if you were freezing miserably during the winter! You need to make up for the rest of the year, am I right?
Anyways, during the summer, as I am also on a type of holiday, I photograph what I enjoy. I don't stress or pressure myself to get nice photos, I just simply bring the camera around with me and take it out when I am bothered and feel that its fun.
This is the season to let your hair out, eat ice cream, swim, eat more ice cream and pass out from exhaustion from always being up and about! Its the time to explore new places and discover new things that you like. Its when you spend time with your loved ones, give them an extra hug because you're so excited about life! Its also a period where you explore your creativity and artsy side, take an extra picture there in a different angle?
I have done all of the above this summer! I have explored places around the summerhouse, no not behind the house but more bathing places, photo places, restaurants that I had no idea about before and now love. I am a loving person and very often I tackle my kids to give them hugs and kisses, but yes, I do believe I have been even more so now, even the dogs get a few!
I hope you had a wonderful and relaxing summer too, now I need to kickstart myself getting back to work on Monday (yes my boss is mean haha)

A few new products were added to my shop this week.
A pretty table cloth, a few apothecary jars filled with goodies, and some festive paper garlands are all you need to make the perfect setting at your next gathering. Your guest will be so impressed with your decorating skills!

9 websites every college student should bookmark
This site is basically too good to be true, especially for us broke college students. Shityoucanafford.com compiles a variety of knick-knacks, electronics and gadgets for sale on Amazon under $20. It's definitely a great way to ensure your bank account doesn't go on one of those scary diets and is ideal for the holidays and friends' birthdays coming up.
Professors always stress how important it is to write thank-you notes after interviews, and, supposedly handwritten notes are best, but who wants the hassle of using snail mail? Myscriptfont.com allows you to add a personal touch in your letters to potential employers by giving you the chance to create a font from your own handwriting with some simple instructions that involve templates, markers and scanning. It's likely worth the few minutes if you're aiming to leave a good impression.
Maybe grammar bored you to death in high school and you refused to pay attention, maybe you had a terrible English teacher or maybe you just plain suck at it. Whatever the case, Grammarly is essentially a godsend for those of you struggling with all those essays and research papers. It is a browser extension that checks your emails, Facebook posts, LinkedIn and any word documents you paste into it. The basic plan is free and corrects all of the grammar and spelling mistakes Microsoft Word tends to miss.
After hours of writing an essay you procrastinated on and finished a few hours before dawn, the annoying bibliography is usually the last thing you want to deal with. You just want your bed, pillow and maybe a time travel device to steal eight hours of sleep. So unless you have Doc Brown and Marty McFly on speed dial, BibMe.com is likely your best option. All you need is the URL address for the website you used or a book's ISBN, and BibMe will automatically format your sources into MLA, APA, Chicago style, etc. As for your purple eye bags — tough luck, man.
This little secret makes any website printer friendly, meaning sans the ugly advertisements, photos and other junk. It's fairly simple to use: just input the URL and click anything you want to eliminate in the preview that appears. You can then print it right away or save it as a pdf for later.
Yes, the website sounds weird, and looks even weirder with its neon green and black presentation, but don't judge a site by its poorly chosen name. Paying for music is a luxury most college students can't partake in, hence the age of Spotify, YouTube and Pandora. Cmd.fm is quite similar, except it's completely free and pulls all of its music from SoundCloud.com. It literally has every musical genre you can think of off the top of your head and makes you look like a computer hacker to anyone looking over your shoulder. Best part? There are no annoying advertisements, and it has unlimited skipping.
This site is great for late nights spent writing essays, books, poems or jjournal entries. It's akin to a virtual Starbucks in that it allows you to relax while writing by minimizing distractions with a full-screen window, peaceful color schemes, backgrounds, ambient music and the keyboard clicks you'd hear from an old-fashioned typewriter. It has a very minimalist look to it, and you can modify the background image, font and music. Fair warning: They ask for a minimum donation of $5.11 before downloading the application. So, watch the demo video before deciding.
This free website just killed all of your excuses for having a lackluster resume. The online resume maker is seriously an invaluable resource for college students new to resume writing. It basically holds your hand and guides you through the process of creating your resume by suggesting skills, sections and phrases to choose from. There are resume samples grouped by industry, resume templates for downloading and loads of tips and guides for cover letters, interviews and thank-you notes. Once you're done, just export the resume to Microsoft Word or as a PDF. Congratulations, you probably just saved your resume from a guaranteed trip to the trash bin.
Everyone knows one of the best perks of being a college student are the numerous deals and discounts. Take full advantage of them while you still can with studentrate.com. This website helps you find ways to save a few bucks with car rentals, textbooks, clothing stores, wireless service carriers, cashback deals, magazine subscriptions and basically anything you think of typing into the search bar.

I met Anibal Mojica in November 2017 while bringing relief supplies in his neighborhood of Punta Santiago, Humacao. Anibal's house was one of the many in the area that still had the belongings of the residents scattered all throughout the property.
I stopped to take a photo of the devastation caused by Maria, when I heard a man calling from across the street. It was Anibal. He was very welcoming and open to sharing his experiences of what he saw during and after the hurricane.
He shared that unfortunately he was sleeping across the street at a neighbors house, on a table on the front porch. As he walked us through his property showing us where his bedroom was, where his kitchen was … etc, I asked what was he going to do with all of his things that were scattered around? He said he was going to throw them away because the ocean water and rain caused too much water damage. Shortly after, as I was taking photos of his property and speaking with him. He shows me one of his film cameras that was damaged by the salt water. He shared that he also loved to take pictures. This was one of his belongings that he planned to throw away, along with his granddaughters toys, paperwork, and so much more. I humbly asked if I could take some of his things with me so he didn't have to throw them away. So I may share his story and show his belongings to people that would never experience something like he did. To remind the world of what our people are going through, and that we will never be forgotten.
Anibal's experience is just one of the millions of people that were thrown into a new normal way of living in Puerto Rico.

Is religious tradition something to be respected? Does God instruct us to base our beliefs on what is considered to be "orthodox"? Is Christian orthodoxy a standard God uses to either judge or establish truth? And how have the most faithful promoters of religious orthodoxy historically responded to God and His messengers?
Join Monica Dennington as she goes straight to the Bible to find out if your tradition has become your idol, and why it is necessary to choose between orthodoxy and revelation.
This is from the April 25, 2013 TicTocLive broadcast of "Don't Touch My Orthodoxy!: The Price Of Revelation".
Join us in preparing the world for the return of its soon-coming king, Jesus Christ!
