Mountain Light Retreat returns for the second time at Casa Dana in Andalucia, Spain.
I hope you can join us for a long weekend of immersive yoga and meditation and practices, healing, ayurvedic nourishment, nature and rest in the mystical hills of Southern Spain.
Casa Dana sits on the hillside just beneath the traditional whitewashed village of Gaucin. The villa is set in stunning gardens which will be in full colourful bloom at this time, as will the hills with wild flowers. The views from the terrace stretch over the Spanish hills and coastline to Africa and beyond… you can lose yourself in the horizon for hours. There are seven beautiful and individually decorated bedrooms and plenty of corners and caverns for reading and relaxing.
The retreat will start on the afternoon of Friday 21st April and we will be arranging pick up from the airport around lunch time to collect from the morning arranged flight.
We will open the retreat in ceremony on Friday afternoon and practice that evening before our first meal together. Each day we will greet the rising sun over the mountain tops with quiet morning meditation and contemplative tea break.
This will be followed by our morning yoga practice before a long lazy brunch. The afternoon will be for treatments, exploring the local area, reading, relaxing, and long walks. The retreat will also include an afternoon Ayurvedic self care workshop and a special trip to nearby Ronda.
We will have our second practice each day in the late afternoon followed by dinner together.
The retreat will officially close on Tuesday 25th April after morning practice and breakfast.
We will arrange drop off back to Gibraltar airport for the suggested flight.
Our meals will be vegetarian, locally sourced and lovingly prepared by our chef Selina Van Orden. Selina will be cooking nutritive and delicious food, with an Ayurvedic leaning, leaving you feeling light, bright, and full of energy. By eating things that suit your system and the season, you will feel at ease and in balance.
Selina will be available for an Ayurvedic consultation prior to the retreat, allowing your diet and time there to be tailored to your constitution and needs. Please mention this via email if you are interested to book in with Selina.

Land Pride
Land Pride's new Bale Spears – the BS(E)30, BS(E)40, and BS(E)50 – will expand our popular line of hay-moving attachments. Like the 10 and 20 Series, each of these models is available in two mounts, Universal Skid Plate and Euro, with "E" in the model name to denote the latter. These three spear models are available with an assortment of spear options and combinations in lengths of 32", 39", and 49". Usable spear length is 4" shorter.

Clanbook: Lasombra - Episode 39
In this episode, we explore the clan with a giant "L", Clan Lasombra. Step into the shadows with us as we dig into the feared leaders of the Sabbat, exploring their origins, both within the context of the game, and our experiences with them.
Written by: Richard E. Dansky and Elizabeth Ditchburn
March 1st, 1996
From their webs of shadows the Lasombra guide the destiny of the dread Sabbat. Unseen even by mirrors, these lords of darkness glide through the night they rule, orchestrating the rise and fall of Kindred and kine alike. From the Sahara Desert to the Spanish Main, from the monasteries of Seville to the mean streets of New York City, no other clan so embodies what it means to be a vampire.

|History (Shovelboard)
Shove Ha'Penny
Shuffleboard - Outdoor and Indoor
|Where to buy
The original English ancestor of most of the games involving shoving discs of some sort on a table was called Shove-board and later Shovel-board. Popular in Tudor times, Shovelboard was played by the English upper classes on enormous narrow tables as long as 30 feet (9 metres). Players shoved metal weights down the tables, attempting to get them as near to the other end of the table without falling off. Presumably, the game is a formalised version of a pastime played on the long dining tables of the upper classes after dinner. One of the earliest references is from the Royal Privy Expenses of 1532 which show that Henry VIII lost Ż9 to Lord William at Shovelboard. Meanwhile, the subjects of this great King were banned from playing this and most other recreational games - an even earlier reference purportedly of 1522 says "None of the society shall play at the game called Shoffe boorde or Slypgrote".
By the 1800's Shovelboard had been abandoned by the aristocracy and nowadays, Shovelboard tables are confined to museums in England but it's direct descendant Shove Ha'penny still thrives and major derivatives also developed in Europe and in America.
In England, during the 15th century, an indoor version of Shovelboard for play in taverns developed called Shove Groat or Slype Groat and this has been played ever since, evolving into the game known today as Shove Ha'penny. Please see the separate page for more information.
In Holland, the game of Sjoelbak or Sjoelen came about probably in the 19th century. In this, 30 disks are aimed down a six foot table in an attempt to get them through 4 arches numbered 1 to 4 at the other end. However, a cunning twist compels players to attempt to get an even number of disks through each arch because each set of disks in all four compartments scores double. The target arches at the end of the table are similar to certain Bagatelle derivatives leading some people to suggest a sideways derivation.
The game has always been big in Holland and Belgium and has also spread to Germany where it is commonly known as Jakkolo after Jakko Schmidt who first made the game famous in that country.
Hand-crafted Sjoelbak boards are handed down from generation to generation and family social events will often culminate in an hard-fought game. Sjoelbak is an occasional sight in the USA and in Britain. Some pubs do possess the game, although the author is not aware of any British leagues, yet.
The old game was revived in a deck form in the 1870s when it began to be played by the rich on the decks of ocean liners. US immigrants, who presumably enjoyed Deck Shuffleboard on the trip to the "new continent", continued to play it on the ground upon reaching their destination. This new game of Outdoor Shuffleboard, became quite popular in early 1900's and numerous advocates still play today. Large disks are pushed using special "cues" which are effectively long sticks with a curved T-piece at one end. The target is a triangular area at the opposite end with sections that score differently. It's a unique game.
It's sister game, however, is just as popular although originating from the less sulubrious surrounds of the amusement arcades. Indoor Shuffleboard or Table Shuffleboard is the modern descendant of Shove-board that most resembles it's forbear. In it, disks are pushed down a table that can be more than 10 feet long with the objective of causing them to stop between target areas that span the width of the board at the other end. The target areas at the end of the board score the most but disks that go off the end don't score at all, of course. A variety of games have been devised for the Shuffleboard table and this table game is today reasonably common in American bars.
A beautiful hand-crafted Sjoelbak board is available from Masters Games
Outdoor Shuffleboard Equipment from a Canadian site
There are loads of Table Shuffleboard suppliers in North America. The Shuffleboard Federation is, in fact, a shop but it has loads of good links.

Prior to 2004, WomenCraft's founder, Heidi Christ, had been working with the UNHCR and with Lutheran World Federation to assist Burundian and Rwandan refugees in Tanzania. She found that both local Tanzanian women and refugee women have no way to earn a livable wage, yet feel the pressures of taking care of their families. WomenCraft works to shepherd the region's cultural history of basket weaving and optimize it as a modern business opportunity, giving women a safe working space to practice their craft and opportunity to earn a steady income.
Please tell us about WomenCraft.
In 2004, WomenCraft was designed to bring Rwandan and Burundian refugee women living in Tanzanian refugee camps and host-community women together into a social enterprise, allowing women from both populations a chance to earn a sustainable income. Although about 25% of our artisans are now returned refugees who have gone back to their home countries, they continue to be active weavers for WomenCraft. Their income has given them the means to buy land to live on and rebuild their lives. We hope that WomenCraft's structure can offer a new model for bringing self-reliance to post-conflict communities.
WomenCraft is peace-centered; the working relationships between women reduce tensions between former refugees and refugee-hosting communities and build unity in a post-conflict region. WomenCraft is market-driven; our business model and product line are based on the results of a market feasibility study. We design, produce, market, and deliver beautiful products in order to operate effectively. Finally, WomenCraft is artisan powered; we have helped 24 artisan groups form and structure themselves. WomenCraft artisans serve as psycho-social support for their group members and they are recognized as community leaders.
What materials and techniques does WomenCraft specialize in?
WomenCraft is located in a beautiful, remote part of the world: Mafiga Matatu, the tri-border area of Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi. The area is defined by a verdant river valley, misty hills, and resilient communities. WomenCraft's product line is designed to reflect the natural beauty of the land and people. Artisans take the traditional weaving technique of intricate coiling with fine grasses and elevate it by incorporating other natural grasses, banana bark, recycled materials, and vibrant local fabrics to create colorful modern designs with quality finishing.
Our artisans love their work and are proud to use a skill taught by their mothers or grandmothers to earn money and improve the quality of their lives. In a time when many young people are flocking from the villages to the big cities only to be disappointed with limited opportunities, our artisans are delighted to be able to pass on the basket-weaving tradition to their daughters as an income-generating opportunity.
Who is WomenCraft's ideal customer?
WomenCraft's targeted niche export market is high-volume, mid-high to high-end direct retailers, especially those who will maintain WomenCraft's brand and help share our story. Demographically, our customers tend to be western, educated, and female, 25 years old and older, in a medium-to-high income bracket. Our customers make ethical purchases informed by their values of social and environmental awareness. They enjoy learning about authentic local cultures in far-flung parts of the world that they hope to visit one day.
While we're a proud member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO), we aim to create products that are attractive to the mainstream home décor market.
Can you tell us about the launch of your "artisan designed" products?
We hold an annual Artisan Design Competition, which serves two purposes: it builds our artisans' capacity in product design and it generates fresh new ideas for our product line. First, we train our artisans in international design trends and then ask them to use their creative energy to submit entries for the competition. The results are incredible and inspiring!
Our new white recycled product line, which we just launched at Ambiente in Frankfurt, was inspired by the Artisan Design Competition. We had been intending to do a natural and recycled product line, so when we received an entry made from unraveled grain sacks we knew it was time. This technique recollects our history when refugees were confined to the camps. During this time, women were unable to harvest grasses for weaving, so they used one of the only raw materials available to them: recycled grain sacks.
What are WomenCraft's goals for 2016-2017?
Looking ahead, we plan to continue our work on our natural and recycled line, experimenting more with natural dyes and incorporating recycled materials to add pops of color.
We will also make significant steps to ensure our leaders are assuming greater levels of responsibility in the enterprise. To make this happen, we are expanding our job shadow program. This allows artisan leaders to work alongside our local staff to gain the experience they need to fully participate in all aspects of WomenCraft's operations. Though it's quite an investment to take someone with limited formal education to the point that they are able to coordinate production planning, it is worth the effort, especially considering that our ultimate aim is that one day WomenCraft will be artisan-owned and operated.

How to Run a Bar: Basics of Unhappy Customer Management
People are in a bar to have a good time. In a restaurant, they may be there to actually eat, trying to get in and get out, to get on with their busy day. But in a bar, most people have come to unwind, relax, and hang out a bit.
A bar is not a necessity; it's a luxury to be able to take time out of a busy life and take a load off. As the bar owner, you can't survive if you can't keep your cus-tomers happy. But you will encounter unhappy customers from time to time.
Beware of providing freebies: Complimentary food and free drinks
Don't just reach for the comp (complimentary) button on your register if you have a customer service problem. It's a very dangerous precedent. Each situation has to be handled differently. Yes, the customer is always right (that's why they're called customers, not people), but comping food or drinks for bad service doesn't usually bring the customer back.
If the customer doesn't want to pay because his steak was overcooked, make sure he tells you before he's eaten three-quarters of it. If the problem is the house's fault, take the item off the bill and say, "I am sorry. I hope you will come back and give us another chance to serve you."
Giving free cocktails to people who weren't pleased with their meal doesn't help you. Try to get them a meal that they love before they leave, rather than just comping things off their check. Some customers do this for a living!
On the other hand, it's also a dangerous precedent to assume your customer is trying to cheat you. Do what's right by the guest and then make sure you're not overcooking your steaks. Sometimes it is your fault, and if you're sincere in your apologies and in correcting the problem, you can have a customer for life and a raving fan.
Timely and private responses to complaints
Problems should be taken care of as soon as possible. Don't let the customer steam. If the customer is exceptionally agitated, take the person out of the room to your office and solve the problem. You don't want to make the situation worse by causing a scene in front of other customers and your em-ployees.
Remember, you want to solve the problem, not be part of it! Listen to the patron's explanation of the problem and ask, "What would you like me to do?" or "What can I do to help?" The person usually has a solution in mind. You can go with the patron's solution or offer your own.
Avoid telling the patron "No." If you can't comply with the request, explain what you can do. "How 'bout if we get you a new server who probably won't spill a tray of beers on you, and get you a complimentary T-shirt because yours is wet?"

While the DVD of "Stand Clear of the Closing Doors" is about to be completed, the next project is already coming along. I've had a very productive meeting today with my new director of photography. The next points of order will be to put together a set crew, draw storyboards, scout for locations, cast actors, work out the budget etc. There is a lot of work to do and our designated shooting dates are fast approaching. But be that as it may, this phase of a project is probably the most exciting - nothing is set in stone yet, ideas run wild, inspiration comes from the unlikeliest of places and the sky (or maybe the budget ceiling) is the limit.

City council meetings are a place where the community can get together and address any concerns they have about their city. It can be a little intimidating – trust us, we know, but it shouldn't be.
The first thing you need to know is that city council meetings take place every first and third Monday of the month in the Oscar M. Corbin, Jr. City Hall building (2200 Second Street, Fort Myers, Florida). It starts at 4:30pm, but it can run as late as 9:30pm.
True to traditional fashion, the meeting is run by the mayor – in this case Mayor Henderson, as well as the six councilmen and women of the six wards.
A full agenda is provided. Now that agenda is important because it touches on the specific items city council will be discussing that evening. For example, we covered the announcement of the ' True Blue Campaign '. That announcement was number three on the agenda, so we knew we had to be there early to hear about it. The same applies even if you aren't a part of the press. But one important thing to note is some days they stay in order, and other days they do not.
A cool thing that city council encourages citizens to do is speak. They cannot be aware of any issues Fort Myers may have if they're never addressed.
That's when the 'Request to Speak at City Council Meeting' sheet comes in handy. It's a short form that is to be filled out and submitted to the City Clerk before the meeting starts. So if you knew you had some concerns about the True Blue Campaign, that would be the time to get your slip and and address them with the council.
You have a issue that's not related to the agenda items? That's fine, just note you will be speaking on a 'non-agenda item' and at the end of the meeting you will have a time to speak.
We encourage everyone to go to city council meetings. It's a place where citizens can become more aware of their city and get involved in its development.

The opening reception for the newest exhibition at Clinton Academy Museum, "Living Well is the Best Revenge: A Jazz Age Fable of Sara and Gerald Murphy" was a huge success. Held at the Clinton Academy Museum in East Hampton last weekend, the new exhibit explores the fascinating lives of the Jazz Age's most intriguing couple, whose story started and ended in the Hamptons.
Gerald and Sara Murphy were, to many of their contemporaries, the most beautiful couple of the 1920s. They influenced many works of art and literature of the period: F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Tender Is the Night," Ernest Hemingway's "A Moveable Feast," Philip Barry's play "Hotel Universe," John Dos Passos's "Big Money," and Pablo Picasso's neo-classical masterpiece "Woman in White."
For the opening reception, Laura Donnelly, the Murphy's granddaughter, was a special guest of honor. Her gift to the East Hampton Historical Society of nine antique file boxes full of Wiborg family papers (Sara's parents) dealing with the running of their East Hampton summer mansion, the Dunes, during eight summers starting in 1912, was the inspiration for the exhibition. Also in attendance was Laura's brother, Sherman Donnelly, Robert A.M. Stern, Peggy and Ed Sherrill, Nina Gibson, Joan and Bob Osborne, Patsy LaBranche, Jennifer Borg, Mary Libby, Cassandra and Rich Look, Frank Newbold, Pamela Eldridge, Kendell Cronstrom, Alejandro Saralegui, Whitney Fairchild, Dorothy Spears and Alexis Rockman, Frazer Pennebaker, among others. In case you missed it, there's still plenty of time. Make sure to stop in to check it out sometime between now and October 10 when the show closes.

By JOSEPH G. LARIOSA
(© 2019 Journal GlobaLinks)
CHICAGO (JGL) – The mother of Veronica Garrick told her that when she was young growing up in Manila, Philippines, she was very conservative with
scarce resources that when she used tabo (a small bucket with a ladle) to pour water on her body while bathing, whatever used water she collected inside a bigger basin she was stepping on, she would use it to drain the toilet. Veronica said her mother also used tabo, "a foreign concept to many of us" referring to her "peers and I," as a cup to brush her teeth.
Veronica was one of the 14 young students aged 16 to 24 Filipino Americans enrolled in various courses/programs in law, nursing, biology, international business, general education and high school who joined the Midwest Youth Leaders in Diaspora (YouLEAD) Immersion Program from Jan. 3 to 9, 2019 trip to the Philippines. Some parents of Veronica's "peers" are also Australian, Dutch and Greek.
Eighteen-year-old Veronica, who was born and raised in Livonia, Michigan, "the whitest city in America," and had hardly associated with other Filipinos or Filipino Americans, said, "Small utilities like these are something that people in the Philippines cannot afford, but they do not see it that way. I thought to myself, how is it that they have little to nothing, but have achieved happiness that I still have yet to attain."
In her testimonial at the First Talakayan (discussion) at the Philippine Consulate General in Chicago, Illinois last Feb. 15, 2019, Veronica confirmed her mother's experience when she and her companions traveled to Cavite for two days to help build houses for a village, which she initially thought "was bound to be exhausting, yet fulfilling of course.
JOHN GRAEME PHILLIPS told the Filipino community in the Kalayaan Hall in the Philippine Consulate General in downtown Chicago, Illinois last Feb. 15, 2019 that in his brief stay in the Philippines under the Midwest Youth Leaders in Diaspora (YouLEAD) Immersion Program from Jan. 3 to 9, 2019 trip to the Philippines, "I learned not only the Filipino culture but also about myself. Meeting a Filipino is always fun. This program changed the course of my life in a very positive direction." (JGL Photo by JOSEPH G. LARIOSA)
"Oh, how surprised were we when we discovered that this experience was more than passing buckets of concrete."
Village was a settlement of Gawad Kalinga, which builds villages and their mission is to end poverty for five million families in 2024.
She said this village consisted of over 30 families in brightly colored houses, with "children with the biggest hearts and the most radiant smiles."
A first-time visitor to her parent and maternal grandparents' homeland, Veronica learned that the "Philippines is suffering: poverty, hunger, and a lack of material items that us Americans take for granted every single day.
"It's the idea of faith that kept them going every single day, and people like us that bring them hope.
"That day and a half, we played with all of the children, and I experienced for the first time, what it was like to experience unconditional love."
NINA MONDERO's trip to the Philippines from Jan. 3 to 9, 2019 with the Midwest Youth Leaders in Diaspora (YouLEAD) Immersion Program was her second time in only two years. But she said she enjoyed every moment of it. In her first trip she was on vacation accompanied by her Dad, Dennis Mondero, an active Filipino community leader, when they sampled tourist spots in Manila and in Palawan. This time Nina said she enjoyed her interaction with the children at Gawad Kalinga in Cavite. (JGL Photo by JOSEPH G. LARIOSA)
Veronica said she only knew very few -- "20 words on our first day. My Tagalog was nowhere near fluent, but no one there cared. These small children expressed their love to me through smiles, hugs, piggyback rides, and the two words I knew; mahal kita (I love you). Mahal kita, the expression of love, the words that they used to willingly.
"How is it that they could love me, a stranger? Because I was there, my language and the fact that I am American meant nothing to them.
YouLEAD PARTICIPANTS are shown during their courtesy call on former Presidential Spokesman and now Foreign Affairs Undersecretary for Strategic Communications and Research Ernesto C. Abella (third from right, seated) at the Carlos P. Garcia Conference Room of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) in Pasay City, Philippines. Undersecretary Abella was joined by Foreign Affairs Assistant Secretary Maria Lumen B. Isleta (to Abella's left), and officers from the DFA Office of American Affairs. (DFA photo)
"This program and those children were necessary for me to realize that just because I was born in the United States, does not make me any less Filipino.
"This program made me proud to be Filipino, proud to have that blood pulsing through my veins, and I hope that every breath I take will be in honor of those who came before me and fought for this beautiful country. This program gave me an identity. I am Filipino American and I am proud."

Meanwhile, 16-year-old, Chicago, Illinois-born Nina Mondero is not a first-time visitor in the Philippines. But for her second trip back to the birthplace of her parents in two years, Nina said she considers as highlights her trip to Cavite and nearby Tagaytay, Taal Volcano and nature as "amazing sceneries."
"We went to the village of Gawad Kalinga. We stayed in close families. It was amazing to stay with them and observe the way they live. We talked with kids altho I cannot speak Tagalog as well as them. They just embraced and welcomed us. Happiness that they have. Little material things that they have. It was amazing for me to see that. I want to go back as soon as I can," Nina said.

LARIOSA of philamessenger.com introduces Daphne Constantinides of Ohio last Friday, Feb. 15, 2019 during a video interview asking her about her less than two-week visit to the Philippines as a participant to the Midwest Youth Leaders in Diaspora (YouLEAD) Immersion Program from Jan. 3 to 9, 2019 trip to the Philippines. The interview was held in the Kalayaan Hall in the Philippine Consulate in downtown Chicago, Illinois. (JGL Photo by JASON DE LA ROSA)
For his part, John Graeme Philipps, son of Greek and Filipina parents, said, "From a horrible situation, they transformed them into colorful, party buses. These places where people gather and meet rather than go out to war and fight and kill each other, that really, that's not really Filipino values and identity. I learned not only the Filipino culture but also about my self. Meeting a Filipino is always fun. I don't look to most as a Filipino but I have been more involved in the Filipino community right along with the Asian community. This program changed the course of my life in a very positive direction. I want to thank Consul General Gina Jamoralin, (Consulate Cultural Officer) Anna Liza Alcantara" for this opportunity.
For, Daphne Constantinides of Ohio, the immersion trip was somewhat like a journey to the unknown. She said, "I just did not know what to expect. It is a very long flight there. I was about to give up half way thru. But I'm very glad I went because I knew a lot of things Mom told me but I haven't gotten to experience them. After the program was done, I went to the province in Iligan (City). And I got to meet a lot of families. It was a very nice experience."

For Daphne, the highlight of her trip was the one taken to the village in Gawad Kalinga. "They treated us like family. They would give us whatever they had. And the experience was very welcoming. Getting to stay with the kids in those houses. I will encourage others to join the program. I definitely do, especially the Filipino Americans. They know the American side. But I think they should know the Filipino side because everybody is part of it and should know about their culture and this is an opportunity to know about them."

Liezel will be replaced by Mr. Noli Dulay, who left his old post in Saudi Arabia. (JGL Photo by JOSEPH G. LARIOSA)
Aside from Veronica Garrick, Nina Mondero, John Graeme Philipps and Daphne Constantinides, the others who participated in the immersion program who showed up at the Consulate were Christopher Garrick, Alyssa Solomon and Everett Icao.
Those who did not make it to the Philippine Consulate but made the trip were Cheenie Ayala, Anthony Javier, Dean Diaz, Alyssa Podwoiski of Michigan, Vanessa Adriatico of Minnesota and Miles Foltynpwicz of Missouri.
In the Philippines, they also paid a courtesy call on Foreign Affairs Undersecretary for Strategic Communications and Research Ernesto C. Abella, who told them of the country's rich cultural heritage that will awaken them the pride of being part of the Filipino global community.
They also went to the Carlos P. Romulo Library, where DFA-Office of the Undersecretary for Migrant Workers Affairs Principal Assistant Sandra Guiang briefed them on the Department's work to assist Filipinos abroad.
Besides the testimonials of those in the immersion program, the event was also an appreciation ceremony for those who took part in the 2018 Paskuhan Planning Committee in what was billed as First Talakayan Series, 2019 held at the Kalayaan Hall of the Consulate General.

Consul General Gina A. Jamoralin, in her welcome remarks, thanked the Filipino community and had expressed her appreciation for the support and active involvement of the community that led to the success of the two milestones in the history of the Philippine Consulate General in Chicago: the 2018 "Paskuhan sa Chicago and Simbang Gabi" on December 15, 2018 and the 2019 Midwest Youth Leaders in Diaspora (YouLEAD) Immersion Program on January 3 to 9, 2019.
Ms. Jamoralin also said, "Since the establishment of the Philippine Consulate in 1948 in Chicago, it has always been the mission of the Consulate to foster unity, camaraderie and community leadership among its Filipino diaspora in the Midwest.

JAMORALIN (third from left) joins a photo op during the First Talakayan (Conversation) 2019 at the Philippine Consulate in Chicago, Illinois last Friday, Feb. 15, 2019 with Consular staff and Filipino community leaders. Others in photo from left are Cultural Officer Anna Lisa "Liezel" Alcantara, journalist Joseph G. Lariosa, Nina Mondero, Dennis Mondero, Administrative Officer Atty. Alvar Rosales and Miss Josephine Mascarenas Diaz. (JGL Photo)
"I would like to assure you that the Philippine Consulate will continue to pursue another year of greater engagement with the younger generation of Filipino-Americans and the fast-growing Filipino community in the Midwest."
The first part of the program was a video presentation on the recent Midwest YouLead Immersion Program from January 3 to 2019 consisting of 14 (fourteen) delegates sent by the Philippine Consulate to the Philippines to reconnect with their Filipino identity.
Two participants, namely John Graeme Philipps and Veronica Garrick, gave testimonials and shared their experiences and what they learned about the Immersion Program.

With John travelling up from Yorkshire and myself coming down from Aberdeen we met at the DFDS security barrier at 21:30. The security personnel were expecting us and the necessary parking permits were ready for us and fifteen minutes later they let us know when the ship had arrived. Shortly afterwards we were accompanied on to the Finlandia Seaways and introduced to some of the crew. John had undertaken this survey several times before and was able to expertly and safely "navigate" the way through the ship to our cabin where we were met by the ship's steward. Once we had agreed the plans for the following day we settled down for the night knowing we had an early start.
The next day following breakfast we took our position on the bridge and prepared ourselves for the day's surveying. This was my first survey and John was extremely patient in demonstrating the recording methods and how to access the information from the ship's equipment.

Although cloudy, visibility was good off the Northumberland coast and we commenced with recording. The day started with a variety of seabirds with the initial highlight being a fly-past of 5 Common Scoter. Throughout the day a steady stream of seabirds in differing plumages gave me the opportunity to hone my identification skills. Unfortunately the hoped-for cetaceans did not oblige us on this trip. Towards the end of the day it began to rain and this curtailed our surveying fairly early in the evening.
We began the return journey the next day at 08:00 still hopeful for marine mammals. Although these were still missing we were treated to plenty of seabirds with the best being a Great Skua; unfortunately I missed the 'Bonxie' as I was on a comfort break! Something else I missed was a feeding Gannet that gave John a super view of it diving right in front of the ship. We did manage to record a good quantity of Red-throated Divers and a Great Northern Diver flew past too.
Great Northern Diver (Archive photo: Peter Howlett)
For most of the afternoon the sea was almost mirror-like and without a doubt we would have spotted a fin if there had been any. We did manage to see a Grey Seal bottling whilst it positioned its catch, a rather large flat-fish and unfortunately this was the only mammal recorded on the trip. Our surveying continued into the early evening before the sunset put an end to this.
We retired to our cabin and awoke the next day with great views of the nearly completed new Forth bridge as we sailed into Rosyth.
This was my first survey so was a learning experience and a fantastic introduction to the work that MARINELife undertakes. Sincere thanks also go to Captain Andrey Oresko, his officers and crew as well to the staff at DFDS for their help and support throughout the survey and to John for being so patient.

Actress Elizabeth Taylor settles $20 million lawsuit against National Enquirer
ELIZABETH TAYLOR has settled her $20 million lawsuit against The National Enquirer, winning an apology and money for articles that said she had a fatal disease, lupus, and was drinking while in the hospital. Miss Taylor nearly died during a hospital stay last year.
The lawsuit she brought in Los Angeles Superior Court cited specific articles published last year. "The Enquirer gained access to all of Miss Taylor's medical records and is now satisfied that the articles reporting on her medical condition and the report that she was drinking were in error," Miss Taylor's publicist, CHEN SAM, said in a statement yesterday announcing the settlement, which was reached late last week.

from the director | august 2017
Vicki Rutledge
Hello, Weekday School Parents! Welcome to the first newsletter of the 2017-18 school year. We use several forms of communication to keep in touch with you including Sunday email reminders, flyers in school bags, text/emails from Kaymu. The purpose of our digital newsletter is to inspire and encourage you as parents. I hope you will find it to be a helpful guide.
As I was digging through some family photos last week, I unearthed this picture of my daughter with beloved WDS teacher, Betty Magee.
Mrs. Magee taught at Weekday School for over 30 years. She was a masterful teacher who had a keen understanding of how to wrangle a group of three year olds. This hand puppet mouse was named "Squeaky" (if my memory serves me correctly) and he was shy and didn't like loud noises. He would only come out to say hello to the children if they were being quiet. Do you see brilliance of this classroom management strategy?
What I love about this picture is that demonstrates the magic of the preschool years. I use the word "magic" intentionally. It is a season of suspended reality - where imagination, pretend, and play are all the rage.
My hope and prayer for this year is we would ENJOY preschool together - teachers, children, and parents. It's not always easy to parent or teacher preschoolers, but it is extremely rewarding. They are so free with their affection and giggles.
"Will you play with me?"
"Will you read this to me?"
"Watch me!"
They are open and eager to have us in their world. They look up to us and imitate everything (!) we do. It's a magical, delightful, wonderful stage. Let's ENJOY it together.
To start, I want to invite you to join us for the Prayer Walk on Wednesday, August 16 from 10:00 - 10:30am under the Angel Wing. This is an annual tradition where staff, parents, and children gather for a brief devotion and prayer followed by a self-guided walk through the halls of Weekday School to pray over classrooms and the people who will occupy them.
We are counting the days until school begins and thanking God for YOUR children. It's going to be a wonderful year!
In Christ,

Self Love and Sela Designs
If you've been following along here on the blog or on Instagram, you know that 2018 has been marked by some pretty huge life changes for me. From dealing with the after scars of infidelity, to a separation, to a move halfway across the country- it's been a whirlwind. As I've worked through some of the hardest moments of my life, I've been thankful to be part of a community of incredible humans. I've been thankful to have an outlet to put out my thoughts and I've been thankful to partner with brands that support incredible missions and are working to bring about good in the world.
The life changes have brought about a shift in perspective for me though. They've reminded me about how important love is to the world and to ourselves. If you're anything like me, I find it so much easier to give love to others but when it comes to giving that same love to myself I struggle. The negative self-talk, the out of line expectations, all of it.
When Ashleigh reached out to me with this chance to work together, I was beyond excited. As I looked through her new fall collection these bracelets were everything. 'Love well' such a simple phrase but one that is so easily forgotten. They're incredibly well made and I love the simplicity of them. When we journey through difficult times, finding small and positive reminders can change everything. Wearing this bracelet reminds me to not only love myself well but to love the world well.


text: Hi everyone! I'm new to the forums but this seemed like quite the knowledgeable and sensible place so I figure I'll ask here. I'm a home cook. For a few years now I've been using my roommate's knives. I figured it's about time I got my own set to maintain and use properly. Right now I have my eyes set on a Tojiro DP gyutou 240mm as my main knife. I haven't handled it yet (I will in a few days after I swing by Korin!), but from my testing out of Global and Shun knives I know I'll want something else to compliment it for heavy work. Can anybody make any suggestions for this? Something cheap and reliable would be awfully nice. Much thanks!

lightroom preset
A: It's like a filter for your photos! I edit all of images with custom presets I create in Adobe Lightroom by adjusting the hues of specific colors and tones within an image. Then, I save that edit to apply to photos so my Instagram flows together. It's like painting with photography!
Q: Are your presets a one click fix?
A: No, due to the fact that every photo has different lighting and colors, my presets will look a little bit different on your photos than mine. I shoot most of my images in natural, low light surroundings, which is what this collection is designed for. however, These presets subtly illuminate the natural tones, so you should only have to make slight adjustments in Lightroom (fine tuning the exposure, contrast, luminance, saturation, etc.) to create the look you are striving for.

A: There are 14 presets in my H O M E collection, and my top 4 favorites in my h o m e sample collection, with hues ranging from gold radiance to lush jungle tones.

A: My full H o m e collection is $41USD, and my sample collection is $14usd.
Q: How do I receive your presets after purchasing them?
A: After your payment is completed, you will receive an email with a download link containing the presets. Once you click the link, you will have 24 hours to save the files to your computer before they expire, so be sure to check your email right after purchasing them.
Q: How do I use your presets?
a: My presets are compatible with all Adobe Lightroom Classic CC (OSX and Windows) programs starting as low as $9.99/month. Available

Q: Do your presets work with the Lightroom mobile app?
a: Yes, although my presets can only be synced to mobile through Lightroom on your computer.
q: how do I sync your presets to my lightroom mobile app?
1. if you are not already signed into lightroom mobile on your computer, sign in by clicking "get started with lightroom mobile" in the upper left corner of your screen.
2. create a new image collection and make sure "sync with lightroom mobile" is clicked. (title this collection: Plantifulsoul presets or Home collection.)
3. select an image from your library and drag it into this collection. It is best to choose one that you can easily see the applied presets.
4. apply one preset to the image, and title this image with the selected preset. (for example, if you use the "COAST" preset, title this image "COAST.")
5. repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have each preset saved to 14 different images in your collection.
6. it may take a few minutes to sync to your phone.

Q: Do your presets work with iPhone photos?
A: Yes! My presets work with both Raw and JPEG images.

a: if you have purchased the mini collection and then want to get the full collection, please send an email to: email@example.com with a screenshot of your previous receipt/order number/or email address you used to make the first purchase. i will refund your mini collection purchase, so you don't end up paying twice for the same presets.

DOUBLE SCREENS KOKOLUCHA HYPER OFFENSEHello guys, its been a long time since I last wrote my first and, until now, my firsm RMT in ORAS. I learned quite a few stuff about competitive pokémon since then, but I still have a long way to go to become an actual good player (still having a hard time getting past 1500 lol), but that is why I have come here today.
I have been using the famous koko lucha offensive core for some time during the metagame, and it has always been on of my favorite cores in the SM meta, but, I have decided to give a twist by using screens koko instead of the usual offensive variant this time around and I have to say that this is the most succesful team I have ever used that was made by myself (I usually suck at teambuilding). Yet, I feel like there is still a lot of room for improvement, since I am stuck around the 1300-1400 ladder (no need to remind me, I know it is bad). Also, I would like to apologise in advance for any gramatical errors here, since english is not my home language. Well then, here is the team:
Tapu Koko @ Light Clay
Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Taunt
- U-turn
The most important pokémon in this team, without a doubt. Tapu Koko's main role is to set up 8 turn screens as early as possible in the battle so that all the set up sweepers of my team can have a much easier time boosting their stats. Despite that, I rarely lead with the island deity since I prefer to set up guaranteed Stealth Rocks with my suicide lead Excadrill (we are getting there later) first. U-turn is there to give my team momentum, while taunt is there to not allow opposing pokémon to use hazards or to defog away my screens or the rocks that Excadrill literally gave his life to set up. I am usually not scared to leave Tapu Koko in front of ground types such as Landorus or Chomp since reflect + electric terrain weakens EQ a lot. Actually, Tapu Koko becomes so surprisingly bulky after setting up screens that it fears almost nothing while it sets up. Again, "almost nothing", I usually have to gamble while facing something that has defog + a powerful move, like Landorus-T, Lati@s, Pelliper or Kartana since I have to decide to either set up the appropriate screen and risk getting it defoged right away, or using taunt but getting Koko hit hard. Still, Koko is a key pokémon in this team and I don't plan to remove it.
Hawlucha @ Electric Seed
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 96 HP / 252 Atk / 36 SpD / 124 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Acrobatics
- High Jump Kick
- Swords Dance
- Roost
Oh yeah, here is the stuff of goodness! Hawlucha is just amazing with screens up. It gets so bulky after an electric seed boost + screens that it manages to stomach some insane moves (+2 252 Atk Landorus-Therian Continental Crush (180 BP) vs. +1 96 HP / 0 Def Hawlucha through Reflect: 179-211 (55.7 - 65.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock) which makes Sword Dancing a very easy job for Lucha. That, plus some really strong moves like acrobatics and Hi-Jump-Kick makes it insanely threatening during late game, and even early game weirdly enough. The only things it needs to be removed from the battlefield before it can set up are Zapdos, Toxapex and opposing Tapu Koko, since those can shrug off a +2 move and proceed to either remove my boosts or just straight up kill it. My favorite mons to use as set up baits are Lando-T, Garchomp, Ferro (taunted by Koko), Heatran and Celesteela, since they can't do much to it, and any attempt to kill it can be easily fixed with Roost, it can even set up in front of Ice Punch M-Swampert at the right conditions (252+ Atk Swampert-Mega Ice Punch vs. +1 96 HP / 0 Def Hawlucha through Reflect: 85-100 (26.4 - 31.1%) -- 36.1% chance to 3HKO after Stealth Rock), which helps me a lot with the rain matchup. Yet priority can also be really annoying sometimes, especially Water Shuriken, since Lucha's special bulk isn't nearly as great as its physical bulk. Another thing that it hates is basically, any status condition, since every single one of them cripple it in some way. Even then, Hawlucha is a key player in this team, and alongside Koko, is one of the mons that define this entire team. Screw the 90% accuracy of Hi-Jump-Kick though...
Excadrill @ Focus Sash
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Rock Tomb
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock
Excadrill is the main lead of this team. I love this thing, it does such a great job at keeping the opposing side of the field dirty while mine gets totally hazard free thanks to Rapid Spin hehe. Since my team has two Stealth Rock weak mons, I needed something that would help me with keeping those pesky pebbles off my side of the field. Rock Tomb is a surprinsingly useful move on Excadrill, since it can annoy those who decide to lead with a set up sweeper or even something with choice scarf, and can help Excadrill at outspeeding max speed SR Lando-T. Focus Sash is also great for scouting the sets from the opposing lead pokémon and allows the mole to use EQ more than once in case it needs to, which can leave quite a mark on the opponent team, since Excadrill has a great attack stat. The only teams I don't like to lead with Excadrill at all are rain teams, since those teams always take advantage of this.
Gyarados-Mega @ Gyaradosite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Waterfall
- Crunch
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance
Another one of my setup sweepers. Mega Gyarados is great at using sreens at its fullest thanks to its amazing 95/109/130 bulk and pre mega intimidate which allows it to set up as many dragon dances as possible. It is great at checking the likes of Lando-T, Heatran and Ash-Greninja, all of which can be threatening to its teammates like Magearna, Lucha and Victini. It usually needs to get grass types to be removed from the field, like Ferro and M-Venusaur before it is able to sweep properly, which Victini and Hawlucha can take care of. I have chosen EQ over Taunt, so that Mega Gyarados can have a better matchup against Toxapex, which is one of the main defensive threats of this team. Honestly, I have already considered running taunt, but I am not entirely sure if I should do that, what do you guys think? It is also one of my prefered choices to fight against rain since it resists most of the rain pokémon's moves and can use them as set up bait.
Magearna @ Metronome
Ability: Soul-Heart
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Shift Gear
- Calm Mind
- Dazzling Gleam
- Focus Blast
Double dance Magearna is my late game cleaner. Thanks to its amazing typing and bulk, it is able to check a lot of threatening pokémon while setting up whatever is prefered at the moment. It is going to firstly set up Shift Gear most of the time, but there are times where I prefer to go for Calm Mind instead, whenever it is facing a defensive or slower team. I have chosen Dazzling Gleam over Fleur Cannon mainly because I hate the SpA drop when using the latter, and I would like to have a more reliable move to use when cleaning the opposing team. It uses Metronome instead of the usual Fairium-Z because Victini is already occupying the Z-move slot and because it helps at winning calm mind wars and at defeating unaware users since it makes Dazzling Gleam snow ball very easily. Focus Blast is there to beat bulky steel types such as Ferro, Heatran, Celesteela and opposing Magearna. Double dance works really well with screens Koko since it allows Magearna to use both Shift Gear and Calm Mind at their fullest without being punished too hard. The fact that it has calm mind + metronome + soul heart makes mons that resist Dazzling Gleam not that much of an issue later on.
Victini @ Normalium Z
Ability: Victory Star
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stored Power
- Searing Shot
- Focus Blast
- Celebrate
The last mon I added to this team. I have to say that I used to have Mewnium-Z Mew before Victini, but I have decided to use the orange rabbit instead since it makes my team a lot less helpless against steel types.
Victini is another late game cleaner of this team. It abuses screens pretty well thanks to the Z-celebrate def, SpD boosts. It is my main steel type breaker and I like to set up during late game to kill the remaining pokémon on the oposing team. I use Focus Blast as my prefered coverage option to hit Tyranitar, Heatran and Greninja, but I have already considered running Thunder/Thunderbolt instead to have a better chance against water types, but you can't have everything am I right? It does a decent job at cleaning late game a good chunk of the time, but it can be inconsistent sometimes because of a lot of mons in the ladder, such as Lati@s, Slowbro, Lando-T (because intimidate lowers stored power's base power), Tapu Fini (Haze), Mew and many others, and it can be shockingly weak sometimes even at +1. Honestly, Victini sometimes feels like the least succesful mon in this team, it is mainly there because I couldn't think of something better to help me with steel types and that could abuse screens at the same time. Oh well, any sugestions are welcome.
Threat list:
- Toxapex: Oh god...this thing...I hate it. Toxapex is really annoying since it can haze all of my boosts and proceed to toxic almost all of my sweepers and is generally just a pain to kill. Not even Victini stands a chance against it since it hazes away my celebrate boosts.
- Tapu Fini: Tapu Fini is annoying for similar reasons as Toxapex, but it isn't as painful to deal with as that starfish thing. It hazes away my boosts, can defog away my screens, removes electric terrain, which ends up hurting Hawlucha. Nothing in this team can really do heavy damage to this thing, so my best bet is to chip its health during the battle since it has no real recovery move.
- Zapdos: Zapdos can be really annoying to face because of defog, of course, and because it can do heavy damage to most of my mons, especially Gyarados and Hawlucha. Also, paralysis is just not cool...
- Ash-Greninja: Despite having mega Gyara on the team, Ash-Greninja is still a pain mainly because of water shuriken, which helps it to take advantage of Excadrill, Hawlucha and Victini despite having just boost their speed stat.
- Priority users: these are pain in general since they ignore my speed boosts and can remove my weakened set up sweepers.

Mama and Papa Hanson (Irene Dunne and Philip Dorn) are Norwegian immigrants bringing up their family in 1910 San Francisco. Every week they sit down in their modest home with their four children and Mama carefully divides the meager family income between the household expenses. "Is good", she would then say ... "we do not have to go to the bank", greeted all around by smiles; once again they have scraped by.
The eldest daughter Katrin (Barbara Bel Geddes) had always dreamed of becoming a successful writer. In a flashforward she has just completed her first manuscript, a story about her own family. She reads aloud ... "For as long as I could remember, the house on the Larkin Street hill had been home"... then she describes each family member, concluding with... "But first and foremost, I remember Mama". (On a trivia note the original book 'Mama's Bank Account' had the house on Castro Street and in the play it was on Steiner Street).
Then ... The view from her attic window, above, looks out through the fog to the Ferry building and waterfront but was it taken from Larkin Street? No way.
Then ... more of the same view is seen later as Mama hangs out the washing on her balcony.
Then ... and the part of the view obscured by the washing on the right hand side, above, is revealed from inside the house, below.
... a vintage photo ... So where was the window view taken from? This vintage postcard photo (pre Bay Bridge) reveals the answer ... this is the view to the east from Nob Hill's Fairmont Hotel at California and Mason. Even the shadows cast across California Street, right of center below, are identical. We conclude then that the house scenes were filmed on a studio set using this view as a background to imply the location.
... and Now, more than eighty years later from the Fairmont's Tower annex the same view is unrecognizable because of the vast transformation of the Financial District. The Bay Bridge has since 1936 reached over to Oakland via Yerba Buena Island and the Ferry Building is still there but hidden from view. One structure visible Then and Now is the Old Cathedral of Saint Mary (arrowed).
Old Saint Mary dates from 1854 and has functioned as a church on California at Grant since 1891 after its cathedral status was transferred to a site at Van Ness and O'Farrell (a glimpse of that was seen in this post from The Conversation).

President Barack Obama says that no matter how much the government spends, some people still won't be able to afford their mortgages and will lose their homes.
There are still underlying problems in the housing market, the president said, in part because "some people just got too much house for their salary."
Obama made his comments in response to a question Wednesday at a town hall event.
He said that Wall Street overhaul legislation pending in Congress would help with regulations to ensure that people don't get "tricked" into buying homes they can't afford.
Said the president: "We don't want to go through anything like this again."

Gabe's 2018 Five 5's
Gabe's Five 5's
Hey everybody, Wild Card Weekend is one of my favorite weekends of the year. It's the first weekend of the new year, there are four competitive games of NFL playoff football that everyone is gearing up for, the NBA is wild with fan voting for the all star game coming out and there's a huge Saturday night slate with good matchups, the NCAA championship is just on Monday -so it's curtailing the weekend- and it's the absolute perfect time to put out my 2018 Five 5's. My Five 5's is a ranking of five categories that I chose to judge this year. This year the five categories that I chose to delve into were:
1) Movie Experiences:
2) Soup Dumplings:
3) Podcasts:
4) Christmas Lights:
5) Sporting Events
