The worlds' headlines today are providing uniform coverage to the formal end of US combat presence in Iraq. While 15,000 to 17,000 American security-oriented contractors and trainers are still in the country, a sizable diplomatic corps along its Marine guard contingent, and a beefed up US military force now stationed just across the Iraqi border in Kuwait, the withdrawal is truly newsworthy.
Iraqis have widely varied opinions on what the American war has accomplished. It certainly removed an oppressive ruler who had gassed his citizens, was notorious for savagery, and for playing ethnic, religious, and tribal groups off one another to the loss of them all. On the other hand, the sheer violence amidst the 2003 invasion and the ensuing violence brought about by the letting loose of old ethnic tensions, resulted about a five-year blood-letting no less traumatic than Saddam Hussein's actions had during his own rule. Now, even 8 years after the American-led invasion and occupation, fears remain over a return to widespread violence among factions, as well as what Iran - an historic enemy - may have in mind.
The US occupation of Iraq cost over $900 billion dollars in the 9 years of buildup and withdrawal. The US lost 4,484 military personnel since 2003 - the vast majority of the 4,802 coalition casualties, and another nearly 32,000 wounded. Americans and the whole world are left with the memories of searing events at Fallujah, distressing scenes from Abu Graib prison, a horror show of beheadings by Al-Qaeda in Iraq, hot debates between allies before the invasion, and at home, continuing posturing and preposterous debates within a polarized US Congress and political parties.
If there must be one overarching characterization of the Iraq war, it must be that weapons of mass destruction were never found. As the respected former Secretary of Defense Donald Gates said (serving both Presidents George W Bush and Barack Obama), "The problem with this war for, I think, many Americans is that the premise on which we justified going to war proved not to be valid, that is Saddam having weapons of mass destruction. So when you start from that standpoint, then figuring out in retrospect how you deal with the war — even if the outcome is a good one from the standpoint of the United States — it will always be clouded by how it began."
From that fundamental lapse (though never as clear as the manipulated Gulf of Tonkin incident that led to the major escalation of the Vietnam War), one can only imagine the different trajectory the conflict would have taken if major WMD stockpiles had been found. Would more allies have poured in to maintain security and order while rebuilding? Would Iran still have been emboldened to so directly involve itself by using Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs killed more servicemen and women than any other type of weapon)? Would the world itself have been shaken sufficiently, and thus taken more seriously the nuclear weapons buildup in North Korea, not to mention Iran's aspirations?
The "what if"s will remain, perhaps what has more clearly passed with the withdrawal from Iraq is a chapter in American history that could be termed the response to 9-11. Absent that event, it is hard to imagine any President gathering enough support from Congress or allies to pre-emptively invade another country. And while the war in Afghanistan continues, the direction of that war is to disengage with as favorable outcome as possible.
If we could consider the immediate post 9-11 chapter concluding, the next chapter may be emerging as a serious, if more covert array of actions against groups of extremists. The Obama administration's significantly expanded use of drones without hardly a peep of dissent by the media, those on the left, or his party base, is a prime example of what is the new "acceptable."
In any regard, as the US troop footprint in Iraq ended, it was left to the Obama administration to provide some healing language to the effort extended. US President Obama, a fierce critic of the war, spoke to troops returning home to their base in North Carolina and sought to pronounce a noble end to the fight. "The war in Iraq will soon belong to history, and your service belongs to the ages," he said, applauding their "extraordinary achievement."
Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta, the most senior U.S. official at the formal closure ceremony in Baghdad told those who attended "that America's role in Iraq is by no means over." He referred to a $6 billion effort being undertaken by the State Department to sustain U.S. influence ... "Challenges remain, but the U.S. will stand by the Iraqi people as they navigate those challenges to build a stronger and more prosperous nation," he told the gathering.
Ending conflicts is a challenge and responsibility of rulers everywhere. General Eisenhower entered the White House in 1952 with the explicit promise to go to the Korean peninsula and end the Korean war. After bitter negotiations, he did bring about a truce in 1953 (leaving behind tens of thousands of troops along a demilitarized zone). President Nixon was elected in 1968 with a pledge to end the Vietnam War, but it took four years, and secret bombing campaigns before negotiations began and concluded in 1973. And, within two years, South Vietnam was over-run by the North.
It will now remain to be seen whether Iraq on its own can move forward on a more constructive path, led for the first time by the Shia majority of the country. Prime Minister Maliki's immediate challenges are to further reconcile with the Sunni and Kurd populations, seek some sort of balance with its aggressive Iranian neighbor, rein in anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, and oh, rebuild a still crumbling infrastructure for the Iraqi people. If the outcome in South Korea is a possibility, which has become a strong, prosperous democracy, then perhaps the loss of so many lives in Iraq, both nationals and foreigners, will have been given a reason.
This is a big world, we happen to have been born into a dominant country, itself part of a prosperous and powerful Western civilization. We're "oversupplied" with news though it may not inform us well. "Six stories from seven continents" is a modest effort to remind ourselves there are snippets, events, and stories from all around the world to hear and learn from... that our awareness is incomplete, and life is breathtakingly more complex and wonderful than we usually imagine.

Creating opportunities for people living with mental illness in Sri Lanka
VSO has supported the development of the mental health sector over the last 15 years, helping to create more clinics and rehabilitation centres as well as establishing training programmes to raise standards of mental healthcare. An estimated 2.5 million Sri Lankans have been reached by the efforts of VSO volunteers during this time. Chandani's experience illustrates how VSO's intervention has helped transform one woman's potentially bleak future into a much brighter one.
Thirty-five-year-old Chandani was born and raised in poverty as the daughter of manual labourers in a village near Kandy. "I remember using a plastic bag to carry my school books throughout my childhood," she recalls. Economic woes have been in Chandani's life for as long as she can remember, but she was able to get by.
It was immediately after the birth of her second child that Chandani's mental illness developed, and after being taken in by her parents and experimenting with traditional healers; she was admitted into hospital as an emergency in-patient and diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder.
Chandani remembers this difficult period in her life, "I was outcast from society and criticised in the community – people were calling me a mad woman... it was very difficult." Her husband was forced to return from his duty with the armed forces during the civil war to care for her.
Her condition was controlled, and Consultant Psychiatrist Dr. Wickremasinghe played a key role in treating Chandani. VSO volunteers worked alongside him at an organisation called the Nivahana Society of Kandy to help integrate Chandani and others back into society.
The Nivahana Society of Kandy is a VSO partner that develops primary, secondary and tertiary mental health services in partnership with the Sri Lankan Ministry of Health. Around 15 VSO volunteers have been placed at Nivahana over the years, raising standards of occupational therapy, providing specialist training and introducing mental health community rehabilitation to primary care workers.
VSO volunteer Mark Chamberlain was as an advocacy adviser during Chandani's process of rehabilitation back into her community. He was involved in creating a Kandy-based consumer action forum (Hitha Mithru Sangamaya) in 2008 that enabled Nivahana to establish links and networks with other similar emerging organisations in the country.
Soon after returning to her community, Chandani started to earn a small living by making and selling 'string hoppers' (Sri Lankan staple food made with rice flour). It didn't earn her sufficient money, but kept her mind focussed and her condition stable. She soon became a founding member of a small grassroots support group that emerged out of the support received by the Nivahana Society of Kandy.
Thanks to the links established by VSO volunteers and Nivahana, the grassroots group organised a workshop with a company engaged in small enterprise development. The session focussed on the importance of selecting an income-generating venture with a therapeutic value. Impressed by Chandani's efforts and her plans to expand her small business activity, Chandani was able to secure a small loan that gave her access to a string hopper machine a few months later.
The machine has enabled her to increase her production from 150 string hoppers to 1500 per day. All the loan interest has been paid off through the money she has earned, and her success has dramatically improved awareness of mental health illness in her community.
"I am very happy, I have no financial problems and the stigma has reduced... I feel that people are even jealous of me now that I am doing so well!" remarks Chandani, who today is a shining example of how a person with a mental illness has transformed her life.
Sri Lanka has suffered a long civil war, internal displacement and a tsunami in the last decade, yet the national health system was previously unable to manage the psychological consequences of such traumas as well as common mental health problems.
VSO's partnership with Sri Lanka's Ministry of Health over the last 15 years has led to the development of around 40 rehabilitation centres and mental health clinics. Nearly 50,000 mental health professionals have participated in training and workshops carried out by VSO volunteers to improve the quality of mental health care in Sri Lanka. Sharing skills with 10 partner organisations, the work of 65 skilled VSO volunteers is estimated to have influenced more than 2.5 million Sri Lankans, supporting the transformation of the country's mental health service.

Runner-up was dad Lucio on 20lb 2oz and Martin Harwood came third with 17lb 11oz.
The Ramsey & District Angling Society had to move their match from the roadside Forty Foot section to weed-clear pegs at the top end of the drain on the Narrows section close to the bridge.
Making it two wins out of two was Simon Wagstaff with 8lb 3oz.
He drew the end peg at the bridge and took two eels a few perch and a bonus bream all on worm and dead reds.
Equal second were Keith Rayment and Harry Young. Both caught small fish on the pole with pinkie for 3lb 12½oz,
There was a good turnout for the latest Cock Inn match fished on the Six Island pool on the Decoy complex on Sunday.
Top rod was Pete Howson from peg 23 with 97lb 8oz, fishing pellet shallow up to the island.
Second was Pete Sanderson with 89lb 2oz from peg 15. He caught all his fish on a small feeder with hair-rigged pellet.
Chris Shortland with 86lb 5oz was third from peg 25.

This news story appears only to have been properly reported in yesterday's Times. Since News International decided to install a pay-wall a year or more ago to prevent people from hearing about things affecting their lives, most students won't have stumbled across this article. I am reproducing it here in full for the benefit of all who would like to see how their university is going to be shafted.
Universities face threat of private takeovers
Costs and courses would be cut at failing colleges Failing colleges face threat of takeover by private companies
Greg Hurst
Private companies are to step in to run failing universities as the Government abandons direct help for colleges in financial trouble.
Unprofitable courses will be scrapped and running costs drastically cut back under the plan, which will prompt vice-chancellors to pay private providers to take day-to-day control under contracts lasting ten years or more.
The approach marks a dramatic reversal of policy because the Government has supported universities in financial trouble, or taken the lead in brokering mergers with stronger institutions. But the combination of severe cuts in grants for teaching and higher tuition fees of up to £9,000 a year from 2012 will introduce new market pressures on weaker universities.
David Willetts, the Universities Minister, confirmed the plan to The Times. He said: "Our forthcoming White Paper will look at a variety of ways of delivering higher education. This is one possible way in which a failing institution could be turned around in the interests of students."
The new policy seeks to protect students but not universities, many of whose vice-chancellors have angered ministers by rejecting pleas for restraint in setting fees, intensifying the controversy over the coalition's higher education reforms. Privately ministers have attacked some universities as "oligarchies".
BPP, one of the private providers approved by ministers for such work, told The Times that it was interested in running several universities and believed it could cut their costs by a quarter in some areas. The company, which was granted university college status last year, is already in talks with struggling establishments.
Carl Lygo, BPP's chief executive, said: "One option is that the private provider would have a contract to run the university on behalf of the university governing body."
A private university might also cut courses to control costs, he said. "You have to determine whether, having reduced the operating costs of the university, [some] programmes still remain viable."
Since universities are autonomous, ministers and the higher education funding council cannot order a failing university to contract out its management.
But they could force the issue by refusing to sanction a bailout as they have done in the past.
Fees are expected to be based on comparable management charges, although a university council could introduce performance-related pay based on targets such as savings. Alternatively, private providers could set up a joint trust with a university council to run its campus, or allow it to appoint a proportion of the governors. Vince Cable, the Business Secretary and architect of the new hands-off approach to failing universities, warned vice-chancellors earlier this month that some "may find themselves in trouble" if students balk at their fees.
Students will be offered loans of up to £6,000 a year to study at private universities from next year and further steps to enable private providers to expand are expected in the higher education White Paper.
Mr Lygo said that the first step for anyone taking over the management of a university would be to cut or merge functions already covered by its head office, such as finance team, marketing or public relations. He said: "I have looked through some of the university cost base and I think we could probably save them, just on procurement savings alone, 25 per cent of their cost base, which is obviously very interesting to government." He added: "Universities are not good at squeezing the last ounce of value for money out of their spending, which the private sector is."
Crucially, BPP would review tuition fees at any campus it took over. "There is definitely an opportunity to have a lower price than the £9,000 headline figure some universities might want to charge," Mr Lygo said.
Malcolm McVicar, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Central Lancashire in Preston, told The Times in February that several universities could fail as a result of lost teaching grants and visa restrictions on international students. His university, which will lose 90 per cent of its public funding, has set fees at £9,000.
About seven universities are said to be on a secret list of "higher risk" institutions held by the Higher Education Funding Council for England. These include the University of Cumbria, which was advanced several monthly payments last year to overcome a cash flow problem.
The University and College Union, which represents lecturers, has published research suggesting that 49 of 130 English institutions were at risk from funding cuts, owing to their mix of courses and students. Most were post-1992 universities. It named four as at high risk: Bishop Grosseteste University College Lincoln, which has set fees at £7,500, Edge Hill University, which will charge £9,000, Newman University College and Norwich University College of the Arts.
Although universities disputed its analysis, vice-chancellors admit privately that they expect the coalition's higher education reforms to trigger management changes and mergers.

Guest Post: Restoring Justice/
SCOPE is partnering with the Peace Education and Action Center and the Sarasota Herald-Tribune to start a community dialogue in three important areas: Rethinking Education, Restoring Justice and Respecting Environment. The Sarasota Herald-Tribune will publish guest editorials on each of the three areas, which will be crossposted on the SCOPE blog. On April 9th and 10th, the Peace Education and Action Center will host their second annual Teach Peace Conference with the same three focus areas. We hope the dialogue that begins through these multiple channels and the actions that result will bring about positive changes for our community.
The second installment is below. We hope you will use the commenting space to continue a dialogue about how we can Restore Justice. Restorative justice offers a better way to cope with crime By Gordon Bazemore, director of the Community Justice Institute at Florida Atlantic University. E-mail: email@example.com Published: Tuesday, March 30, 2010
If asked to define "justice," most Americans use words such as fairness, similar or equal treatment, absence of discrimination, enlightenment, due process and equal opportunity. Yet, when asked what is meant when we hear that someone has been "brought to justice," Americans inevitably think first of punishment -- often severe punishment -- that must serve as retribution for wrongdoing. We know that justice is a larger concept than punishment, yet we are mostly aware of a very limited set of choices about what justice means in response to crime.
It has been said that Americans are addicted to punishment. But it is more accurate to say that this addiction is characteristic of policymakers who run on "get tough on crime" platforms that seem to thrive on retribution. Crime makes us angry and afraid, but a number of surveys have shown that most of us want accountability for crimes rather than simply retribution. Of greatest concern is the fact that retributive justice is inherently offender-focused -- leaving crime victims on the sidelines of the justice process.
Restorative justice is a "new" way of responding to crime and harm based on ancient practices. For advocates of restorative justice, crime is more than simply lawbreaking. Rather, because crime harms individual victims, communities, offenders and relationships, "justice" cannot be achieved simply as punishment for the offender, or even by only providing treatment and services. Justice must therefore focus on repairing the harm crime causes, while ensuring accountability to those harmed by crime rather than to the state alone.
Although most of us are clearly taught to believe in the moral "rightness" of retribution, and to some degree in its effectiveness, there is no evidence to suggest that human beings are innately punitive. Indeed, most speculation is that in early human communal societies when someone was harmed by another person(s), the response was typically some form of group dialogue. This deliberation included consideration of responsibility for the act, discussion of the nature of the harm, and consideration of "accountability" based on obligations for the offender (and often his/her family) to make amends to those harmed -- rather than simply "taking the punishment."
In contrast to the view that punishment is an innately human trait, it seems more likely therefore that we are hardwired for reciprocity and social exchange. When we use the phrase "I owe you one" or "you owe me one," we generally imply an expectation to repay a debt or good deed that can "make things right" in a different way from individual revenge.
While revenge may be part of the human condition, it may be more accurate to say that it was collective state punishment, rather than restorative justice that was "invented" (for Anglo-European cultures at least) during the Middle Ages. Retributive punishment is therefore a more recent human "innovation" that essentially formalized the response to community and individual conflict resolution by designating theft and other offenses as "crimes" against the king (or the state).
Although more commonly employed in some eras and cultures (forms of restorative justice never disappeared in many indigenous societies), reparation and informal settlement processes, as well as formal and informal restitution and other reparative sanctions (e.g., community service) have nonetheless persisted at some level alongside retributive punishment throughout Western history.
In the past two decades, restorative justice has become a growing international movement. Indeed, restorative justice was the basis for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa and even became part of post-genocide reconciliation in Rwanda. Restorative practices have also become popular in schools and universities as an alternative to suspension and expulsion.
While restorative justice led to new policy in a number of states and prompted statutory change in juvenile justice codes in 35, U.S. policymakers have clearly lagged the rest of the world, and restorative justice in many states (including Florida) is used only sporadically. The good news is that many citizens who learn about restorative justice support it, as well as many criminal justice decision makers -- including prosecutors, judges, public defenders, police officers and victims' advocates.

Come and stay with us and hit the Snow during the day and return to your cosy warm campsite or cabin and campfire of a night. We know all the best places to hire your snow gear so just ask us.
Family Fun in the Snow
In the snow season, the resort is a winter wonderland, weaving its magic for everyone with its network of world-class cross country ski trails, snow shoeing for those who would like to explore beyond the resort precinct, but not on skis, exhilarating toboggan slope, thrilling flying fox, tube run, laser skirmish, and snow play shenanigans. And our snow-making capability means there is a snow play guarantee. Enjoy Heights Bistro and Bar or the Village Run Cafe to refuel, relax and soak in the crisp mountain air and commanding views. Lake Mountain is a day resort so there is no accommodation on the mountain. Accommodation can be booked at BIG4 Taggerty Holiday Park. Why not make a weekend of it and visit some of the surrounding towns and villages, including Buxton, Narnethong, Alexandra, and Eildon.
During the snow season the main entry gate opens at 7am and closes at 6:30pm

Llamas In Space: Catching Up with Llamasoft's Jeff Minter
April 4, 2007 Page 2 of 6
GS: Will all of the stuff we saw today make it into the final version of Space Giraffe? I'm guessing the "Cube is not for yiffing" message might get cut.
JM: Well, that's not actually saying that yiffing is a good thing! It's NOT for yiffing! If you actually look at that picture, there's a little no entrance sign. There's nothing actually shown!
GS: Recently we did a postmortem on Toys for Bob's Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, where they described having to remove certain names from their game. Certainly that climate does exist.
JM: Well, I think Space Giraffe is abstract, and you can't really fly into anything within the world. That fox is pretty much the most real-world thing we've got in there!
GS: Have you ever given up on a game? I know that Unity was cancelled, but is it ever going to be resurrected at any point? You've expressed interest once.
JM: The thing with Unity is that it would be a matter of projects. As I've said, we got a year and a half into it and realized that it was going to be too huge. It was too ambitious. Not only did we have the light synthesis generator -- which was actually working -- but the whole idea was going to be genetic evolutionary algorithms controlling everything, and it was just too huge, really.
I think a lot of the ideas are still valid, but they will appear perhaps in smaller games. As a small development team, we can't afford to take on projects that span two or three or four years. We can't do it.
GS: How many people do you have working with you?
JM: Me and Ivan [Zorzin].
GS: That's what I thought. You said "of our size"...
JM: Well, we've doubled in size! There's now two of us! We're also lucky, though, because we've got a lot of voluntary contributions from people in the Llamasoft community. Some of the music is being done by a bunch of musicians who also happen to be members of our forum.
Likewise, we've got other guys helping us out by doing logos and fonts and things. We've got a lot of people who contribute to us because they want to be in Space Giraffe, which is nice.
GS: And that's the final title?
JM: Yeah!
GS: Originally, that didn't seem to be the case. You said, "Well, let's just call it Space Giraffe"...
JM: Well, it just kind of stuck. It all came down to this one forum post, where there was just this one picture. I was working on this little creature, and at that stage it was just called "The Little Creature." I didn't have a name for it. Then I saw this one picture of a giraffe at a watering hole, and it looked just like my little creature standing at the side of the web.
So I started this one thread in my forum called "The Space Giraffe," and posted that picture there. Within hours, all the gaming sites were reporting "Jeff Minter's new game: Space Giraffe!" At that point, why go back? Space Giraffe is memorable, and people remember it. It may be a silly name, but people remember it.
GS: That was partially my fault. I have a friend who reads your forums, and he relayed that post to me.
JM: This was all over the place within a few hours. One of the funniest posts was on Teletext in the UK. There was this post going "Space Giraffe invades Xbox 360..."
GS: Has PETA ever contacted you to make a game? It would kind of make sense.
JM: No, but the weirdest request I've ever had in making games was when I was once offered by a research place in Wales to develop video games for sheep. I guess it was some study into the cognitive abilities of sheep. I couldn't take it up because I was busy with other stuff, but I was genuinely asked to make video games for sheep.
GS: Did you have any ideas about it?
JM: I think we were going to see what kind of interface we would have for it first!
GS: Hoof-based controllers?
JM: "Avoid the barking dog!"

Tonight, together with other members of Lambeth Green Party, I will be at the protest against cuts outside Lambeth Town Hall as will many representatives of the voluntary sector and those whose sevices and jobs are being cut. We are the Big Society!
On the 23rd February Lambeth Council meets in full to vote on its proposed budget and we, Lambeth Save Our Services, will be protesting against it, just as we did on the 7th February when hundreds protested at the last cabinet meeting.
What is getting cut?
Almost every council service, anything up to 1000 council workers, 25% of all staff, this includes:
• The entire park ranger service
• The entire school crossing patrol service which serves 24 schools
• More cuts in Children's Services
• Libraries budget slashed – staff cut, Nettlefold hall closed, four of nine libraries under cuts consultation
• Discretionary freedom passes for adults with mental health problems
• Regeneration schemes on housing estates
• Cuts and privatisation in adult social care
• Lambeth and Lewisham Colleges to merge – massive cuts to local education
• Reduction in highway maintenance levels and potholes
• Rent rises whilst there are less staff to keep estates safe, clean and in decent state of repair
• Maintenance of the borough's parks, cemeteries and crematoria is to be scaled back.
• Street cleaning levels reduced
• Many cultural events scrapped
• Three out of four Public toilets to close
• Noise nuisance service
• Reduction in the Faith Engagement Programme, which helps to support events such as Holocaust Memorial Day and Peace on the Streets and other community events and projects.
• Any much more. For more info see the council website (400+ pages!) or check this websites for Cutswatch updates
What is the alternative?
Most importantly Lambeth SOS believes that our local democratic representatives – councillors - should not implement government cuts they openly disagree with. Lambeth Labour, who run Lambeth Council, admit that the government cuts to the budget are ideological. We agree – these are cuts made by a Conservative (and Liberal) government made up of millionaires who believe huge public service cuts and big business are the way forward.
Not only do these cuts hit the most vulnerable hardest, they cut inner city councils more (mostly Labour run) than wealthy countryside areas. These cuts are not the fault of the people of Lambeth and we should not be made to pay for the financial crisis. Tax the rich to Save Our Services.
If Labour councils across England refused to implement the unnecessary cuts they disagree with then government would be forced to change its plan. Here in Lambeth, not only does the council refuse to protect its services with a bold anti-cuts budget, it also wastes huge amounts of money whilst cutting our services.
How to save money without cutting services in Lambeth
• Bring the failing Lambeth Living ALMO (the external housing management firm) back in-house saving millions.
• Cut all senior management pay – how can your councillor justify £270k for the chief executive? That is enough to staff an entire library!
• Use council reserves to reduce the impact of the front loading of the cuts and allow time to make improvements.
• Similarly, pay back the pension deficit over a longer period.
• Cut astronomical councillors allowances.
• Terminate over-paid and under-worked consultants.
• Stop letting cowboy contractors rip the council off.
But most of all stop hiding behind police lines, security guards and consultation companies and join the people you are supposed to serve, in fighting these cuts.
What should you do?
Download the leaflet for the protest and send it to everyone you know. Tell people why this budget is wrong and why we have to protest on the 23rd.
Write to your councillor and tell them to fight the cuts and ask them why are they not saving money instead (see above).
Come to our regular open planning meetings, get involved and join the email list
Come to our Benefit gig to raise money for SOS
Follow us on facebook and twitter and help us spread the word!
Affiliate you Trade Union branch or community group and give us money.

The Tarot is the best reference material for learning Tarot. To use the tarot, you need to trust your intuition, and you can't do that if you keep checking a book.
The Tarot plots the universal pattern of life from beginning to end. To learn the cards, you need to learn the pattern….. and the simplest way to do that is to count from 1 to 10.
The reference spread makes learning the cards (a little) easier by aligning the major arcana with the minor arcana. The major and minor cards tell the same story in the same sequence. Understand the sequence from 1 to 10, and look for connections.

Antonio Banderas dining out with Nicole Kimple and twin sister at Madeo Restaurant in West Hollywood
Antonio Banderas dining out with Nicole Kimple and twin sister at Madeo
Restaurant in West Hollywood (Source: Yellowstoneart.blogspot.com)
Is it a Christmas elf? No, it's Antonio Banderas, 54, dining with new girlfriend, Nicole Kimple, 34, at Madeo Restaurant in West Hollywood on Thursday, February 26, 2015.
And yes, there were very happy, Dailymail.co.uk report: the Pair wore a matching dark of leather jacket and just different with their trousers.
The Latinos man is still just simply in jeans, while the investment consultant played it cool in a skintight. . . . . . . .So, who is the girl between this romantic night out? She looked like an identical twins of the Dutch beauty.
Although Antonio began dating Nicole after their no longer together, he and ex-wife, Melanie Griffith find away to maintain their friendship! Banderas shared the whole during his interviw with Latino.foxnews.com, the actor said: "I want - and I think she does too - to maintain a relationship because we have spent many years together. . . . .I would like to maintain a relationship and it is happening, I speak with her every other day."
We're surely not romantically involved at the moment, but if they'll keep an updated as more info comes to light, Why not???

Apple has gained a reputation for a culture of innovative designs and products. Innovation also defines their target community. Earlier this month, Apple unveiled the new iPhone in what was easily one of the year's biggest buying frenzies, it seemed everyone WANTED, NEEDED, MUST get their hands on the latest gadget the very day it came out…before the price had a chance to drop to normal levels. Within days they had to push back the release and delivery due to a glut of orders.
Yeah, the price will drop, though. Why? Apple knows you want to beat the rush and are willing to pay the most, so they didn't discount their latest and hottest product. They never do, instead using this phenomenon effectively to their advantage – and their bottom line profit!
The newest, hottest products are never discounted and they sell out because the perception is planted in everyone's mind that they are valuable. Watch how inexpensively you were able to buy a Kindle a couple of months after the iPad was introduced.
Conversely, the more valuable the product, the less likely the discounted price. Can't you just see the ads? "Pick up your new BMW today while the introductory prices are in force." "Be the first to purchase a Yumi Katsura wedding gown during our special discount days program." "Dr. Turner offers brain surgery for 50% off at his new practice!" Yeah, right. Line me up for that one.
Quit dropping your price and start adding value to what you do or produce. People will line up and pay MORE for added value!

Who knew that kidpik dresses would look so wonderful as flower girl dresses?! People know kidpik as the go-to fashion subscription box for girls. When Tania Cháidez, Senior Editor of Mamas Latinas, first saw kidpik's summer dress collection, she spotted a style or two that might be perfect for the flower girls at her wedding.
She was introduced to kidpik when fashion and beauty expert Kika Rocha presented kidpik's summer collection to the Mamas Latinas audience during a Facebook Live. One pink floral brocade dress caught Tania's eye, and we at kidpik were happy to send the dresses for her wedding in Tepoztlán, Morelos, México.
"My flower girls looked so pretty in the dresses we picked for them," Tania says. "They were formal enough for the occasion yet comfortable and practical for them to enjoy them throughout the long wedding party."
See below for more images of Tania's lovely flower girls in kidpik.
¡Qué hermosas!

For the startups, most of them may find it hard to choose the right office space in One Fullerton. The decision to pick an ideal working environment to be made will break or make your business. When it comes to meeting your budget and finding the perfect location, you should get the balance between them. Choosing a perfect working place is quite a tough process as it involves many aspects. The first thing that you need to consider is to determine where you can conduct your business smoothly. There is a need to make a decision about finding a decent office space.
The commercial space in One Fullerton is a good solution for those who want to set up their business. There are a few criteria to help you narrow down your search. The location is an important factor that will affect your business as it will be imperative in picking the excellent space. To get the best working space, you should turn to a professional real estate agent who specialize in commercial properties. They will take pride in giving you the best place where you fight for market share, pursue new business opportunities, and realize your dreams.
However, you should make sure if your location is close to your business partners or employees. This can help them reach your commercial space easily. For your employees, they will be encouraged to work hard, which can help lead to high productivity. In the current economic situation, most firms prefer to rent a commercial space rather than purchasing commercial properties for their business. Before making an important decision, you should be sure if it is a convenient solution for all your business requirements. If you want to save money, you can consider choosing a fully furnished office. It can help you avoid spending on the mortgage as well as the expenses that come plus owning premises.
One Fullerton is the best place where you can find your best working atmosphere to allow your staff to deal with those business documents. If you don't want to be faced with the hassle of undergoing the planning and construction stages of your office, it is advisable to rent a perfect working environment. However, you should make sure if it comes with an excellent natural light, excellent EPC target, good floor to ceiling heights. Some of them will deliver you spacious passenger lift. And you can take advantage of high speed internet required for your business.

BrandConnection resigns £10m HomeForm Group media account
Interpublic Group specialist media agency BrandConnection has resigned the account for the HomeForm Group, the holding company behind brands including Moben Kitchens and Sharps Bedrooms.
BrandConnection had held the account for 11 years and it is thought that a depressed retail environment is behind the decision to offload the troubled business.
HomeForm, a houseware specialist and domestic equipment installer and supplier, competes against Kingfisher, whose B&Q arm has suffered from falling sales this year, as has the MFI chain. The home improvements trend has slowed in recent times and the sector has been hit hard.
Other brands under the HomeForm banner include Bathrooms Direct, Dolphin Bathrooms and Kitchens Direct. The HomeForm Group has spent more than &£10m advertising its portfolio of brands in the past year.
In the past, HomeForm has come under fire from the Advertising Standards Authority for using an umlaut as part of its Moben branding, after a complaint to the ASA that the umlaut misleadingly implied that the brand was of German origin (MW September 13, 2001). HomeForm and its Moben brand are based in Manchester and claimed that it was in fact "two dots", not an umlaut. The ASA upheld the complaint and ordered the company to remove the two dots or add a disclaimer in its advertising.
At the time, the company argued that the dots formed part of a combined logo that covered HomeForm's other subsidiaries, Sharps Bedrooms and Dolphin Bathrooms, and it continues to use the logo.

We've been busy, a good kind of busy, but keeping busy just the same. I picture all this extra time in the summer, that I will have time to sit down and write. But in reality I have very little alone time. We fill up our days with camping trips, projects, helping family, time with friends and family adventures. Which is great, I just always forget how skilled we are at keeping busy. I've never understood getting bored!
Andrew bought wood for a new, big yard project today. A climbing wall/play fort with a slide off of it. It's going to be massive, big enough for us to climb on too. We are all pretty excited!
In other news, Elena learned how to pick apples off the trees. Too bad they aren't quite ripe yet. She doesn't look too impressed, but she kept eating it, and wouldn't give it up. So it couldn't have been too bad. Granted, this kid also eats mouthfuls of sand and dirt.

Sarah Pearl Clark, Certified Esthetician and Skin Care Therapist, proudly uses Eminence Organics.
My philosophy: I believe in organic skin care. Skin is the largest organ of our bodies and is very permeable. Taking care of it contributes to our overall health. Being exposed to environmental toxins and synthetics are inevitable, so being proactive with our skin is a great way to promote holistic health (which includes emotional, physical, and spiritual well being). Looking at the ingredients of every single thing we put in or on our bodies can be an impossible task, but my philosophy is to choose organics whenever possible, recognizing that we do the best that we can.
Sarah also volunteers at DRESS FOR SUCCESS as an image consultant.
3 Reasons to get a facial
- Health: Probably the number one reason to get a facial is to take care of your skin. Getting a facial can help prevent signs of aging and certain skin cancers. Repairing the skin is one way to have it look as young, fresh and healthy as possible. Ideally, everyone should have a good skin care regimen starting as teens or young adults, but there's always a chance to change your skin care goals. A basic good skin care regimen for everyone consists of a non-stripping cleanser, a toner, a moisturizer and a daily sunscreen. In addition, it's great to add an exfoliant, a mask and an antioxidant serum to achieve even better results.
- Relaxation: An hour away from the pressures of daily life can be a blissful escape for all of us. The health benefits of relaxation can hardly be overstated, and the calm of a facial can provide an hour's worth of vacation in an otherwise stressful day. During the facial, clients receive therapeutic massage on their neck, shoulders, scalp, hands and arms, and sometimes the feet are included as well.
- Confidence: No one can deny that when we take care of ourselves, we tend to feel better about our appearance. Getting a facial can encourage this new confidence that can flow into every aspect of our lives. I believe that when we feel better we can accomplish more.

Let's face it; working from home is a coveted benefit. How great is it not to battle traffic, work in your jammies, save on day care expenses?? The list goes on. While working from home may be a benefit, it also comes with its share of distractions. It can be a challenge to stay productive and meet your (and your boss's expectations)! Conversely, it can be hard to "turn off" when it comes to work. I find myself working at all hours of the day, and when I have a thought about something work related it's too easy to come to my computer and sit down and get lost in it. This is a good thing….but not when there is something cooking on the stove!
Prefer a video?
So, when you work from home, you should begin by establishing good habits.

Wedding rings have been exchanged as a symbol of the bond of marriage for so long, and in so a lot of different cultures, that the origin of the practice is obscure. She got her start as an apprentice baker, and in 1975 produced a wedding cake for her daughter's buddy. If you don't have the money to buy the solutions of a truly great wedding DJ, then just do it your self. As the handfasting is closely linked to nature it will also contain four people who will be the elements (earth, air, fire and water) to also bear witness to our vows getting created. Whether or not Classic or Modern a wedding cake is often a worth memorable if it is added with cake topper. In France, the standard wedding dessert is a croquembouche , a tall stacked pyramid of profiteroles (cream filled pastries) which are drizzled with caramel and at times chocolate.
I loved it. Truthfully, if you had a million dollars and seven wedding planners to aid you prepare for your big day I'd nonetheless advise undertaking this portion yourself. The cake was noticed by the head baker for one particular of New York's most prestigious society caterers, and wedding cakes have not been the very same given that. These songs are actually good to listen to so, it is effortless to recall the melodies and some of the lyrics. We had hoped an owl would deliver our wedding rings to one of our supporters, however we now really feel it is a lot more proper that our rescued dog is our ring bearer on the day. It is an eye-catching and unique way to let your guests know you haven't forgotten those who couldn't be with you on your wedding day. Soon Weinstock was generating her ornate cakes for all of the wealthy in New York, and prior to lengthy her confections have been in demand with celebrities about the nation and even internationally.
Nonetheless, if obtaining all these little pieces of paper to keep up with afterward makes your eyes glaze more than, you may well want to think about investing in a 12 x 12 scrapbook and paper in your wedding colors and let guests generate their own pages as they come in. You could already have 1 of your engagement photographs glued to the center of the web page or have a pal there to take your guests' pictures with a Polaroid camera to mount on their page. Because there are loads of songs and musicals to select from, I've selected to concentrate on the newer musicals and contemporary cover versions of songs from the older ones. They can email your parents, they can drop you a message on your wedding facebook web page, they can even get in touch with you if they by possibility do not have access to e-mail. It really is like a modest rolling pin with a deal with and will help even out glue and air bubbles in between paper layers.
I really like the amount of time that goes into making wedding cakes, each one is a piece of art, often it really is a shame that they're created to be eaten. I know this for a reality simply because my own wedding had a soundtrack made up completely of songs from our favorite musicals – yes I am fortunate to have discovered myself a husband who appreciates musical theater just as significantly as I do. But hold on, even if your groom-to-be is not fond of musicals per se, I am fairly positive that he will like these songs I've picked out for you anyway. Wedding rings have most frequently been worn on the third finger of the left hand.
The extremely time consuming approach of handcrafting every single perfect blossom, stem, and leaf on a wedding cake accounts for the hefty price tags paid for their wedding cakes by celebrities such as Donald Trump, Michael Douglas, and Mariah Carey. Ancient yet modern, steeped in lore and mystery yet nearly universally exchanged, wedding rings combine the art of the jeweler, the reverence of the betrothed, and the beauty of adore and partnership in a single, resonant symbol. Brides and grooms who determine to recite vows borrowed from song lyrics will discover choosing a song for their first dance to be an simple and obvious choice! Ever fashion forward, Miss Jacqueline Bouvier broke with custom when she opted for flowers on top her her cake at her wedding to John F. Kennedy. I hadn't deemed some of these songs for weddings ahead of, but you are appropriate.

Join A Life Group To Heal
Each week, I lead and facilitate a recovery life group in a city hospital, among other places. It's one of the best things I've been doing to help people heal. I join with noted psychiatrist/author Dr. M.Scott Peck in seeing the life group "coming out of hiding" in order to heal. A best way towards self healing and recovery is risk joining a life group. Since it's personal relationships that set up toxic shame and problems within us, we need to find a nonshaming, accepting, intimate social network. A key word is "intimate." We humans need to love and be loved. This is basic. Worked in the context of a caring life group, we further repair work on "damaged parts" and eventually discover our true self.

Sunday: Rain: it's cheap drink before midnight, £5 in and open till 3am. Always sociable and get's busy about 1am.
Monday: During term time I'd say the union, but as it's closed probably the parlour. Cheapish drink again and a club upstairs.
Tuesday: Spring and Airbrake, £4 in, open till 1:30, drink offers, great music. I like to get their early, get a wrist band, get a free stamp for Rain outside, then go to weatherspoons for a few cheap pints then back to S&A.

Thursday: Rain again or else the Egg and then Tompsons for a late night session.
Friday: Union or Parlour then Tompsons or Rain.
Saturday Night: Everywhere's too expensive on Saturday night, so I'd make it a quiet pint in The Bot.

In this issue we conclude coverage of sessions from the 2016 annual convention of the National Association for Gifted Children held in November in Orlando, Florida. Following is a write-up of a session on using federal laws that address the educational rights of children with disabilities to get the services and accommodations to which they are entitled.
Presenters: Barbara Gilman, Associate Director, Gifted Development Center, Westminster, Colorado; and Kathi Kearney, Gifted Education Specialist, Maine School Administrative District 51, Cumberland, Maine
FAPE stands for "free and appropriate education." An education is appropriate when it is "sufficient to confer some educational benefit upon the handicapped child… [in-cluding] specialized instruction and related services which are individually designed to provide educational benefit to the handicapped child." (Rowley, 458 U.S. at 200-0, as cited on Wrightslaw, www.wrightslaw.com/info/fape.roadmap. rhinebeck.htm.)
—BG and KK
According to Barbara Gilman and Kathi Kearney, states, school districts, colleges, and testing companies "are doing a lot of wrong things" with regard to providing twice-exceptional students with the services, accommodations, and access to gifted programming they need. When it comes to receiving FAPE — the free appropriate public education guaranteed by U.S. law to children with disabilities — the speakers expressed concern that 2e students are being missed. "It is a civil rights imperative," they explained, "that we not leave these kids out."
The presenters focused on two federal laws (described in the table below) that address the educational rights of children with disabilities: the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Twice-exceptional students, as Gilman and Kearney pointed out, are not addressed directly in either of these laws, a situation that results in "2e students across the country regularly being denied both special education services and 504 accommodations."
Federal Laws that Address the Educational Rights of Children with Disabilities
Rehabilitation Act of 1973
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
A civil rights law
An education and funding law
Prohibits discrimination against children with disabilities in programs that receive federal funds
Gives eligible students access to special education and/or related services
What it provides for eligible students
A 504 Plan, which documents the student's disability and describes accommodations/services that will be implemented
An IEP (Individualized Education Program), which documents the student's disability and the educational program designed to meet his/her needs
In response to this situation, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) in the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Justice have issued various clarification letters and statements reinforcing the fact that these laws apply to all children with disabilities, including those who are gifted. The letters and statements address a number of myths and misconceptions that have denied 2e students their educational rights. In the following table are some examples that Gilman and Kearney provided.
According to federal law:
Schools can refuse a parent's request for a special education or 504 evaluation.
If a school refuses, there is due process for parents.
Schools can decide whether to take into account any outside assessment of a child that a parent might provide.
Schools may conduct their own evaluation of a student but must also take into account any outside assessment provided by a parent.
Gifted students with disabilities must perform below grade level or be failing in order to receive special education and related services or testing accommodations.
Such services or accommodations are not restricted to low-performing students. Special education or related services should be made available to any child with a disability.
Students with disabilities are ineligible to take part in advanced classes.
Denying a qualified student with a disability the opportunity to participate in advanced classes violates the law.
A child who scores above the cut score established by state policy is ineligible for special education and related services.
It is illegal for states to determine eligibility for these services based on cut scores (although many states do).
Students must first go through Response to Intervention (RTI) before they can get an IEP or 504 Plan.
Going through RTI first is not a requirement for an IEP or 504 Plan.
The speakers concluded by making available to attendees clarification letters from the Departments of Education and Justice that are relevant to twice-exceptional students. (These documents along with other advocacy resources are available on the 2e Newsletter website at https://goo.gl/Yr0OTf.)

Kisumu is a port city in Kenya on the equator, in the Kisumu County province. It is one of the most important cities for the Kenya-Uganda Railway system and for trading purposes across Countries via Lake Victoria.

Lake Victoria was named after Queen Victoria by the first Briton explorer John Speke. This magnificent lake is known as the largest tropical lake in the world.
The best accommodation and hotels available in Kisumu is, the Imperial Hotel, Kiboko Resort Hotel and the Royal City Hotel just to name a few. These stunning high-end hotels are guaranteed to provide you with the most luxurious hospitality around in the city of Kisumu.

Some absolutely spectacular natural and wildlife locations to visit while in the city of Kisumu are the Ndere Island National Park and Impala Sanctuary. Apart from these places there are some adventurous touring, boating and cruises to go on where you will be taken in and around the lake of Victoria where you can see Hippo's, spotted crocodile's (which are smaller species of crocodile other than the Nile crocodile), and various other natural wildlife in the city of Kisumu.
