Antidepressant: A medication that stimulates the mood of a depressed patient, including tricyclic antidepressants, monoamine oxidase inhibitors and serotonin-specific reuptake inhibitors (SSRI's).
Antipsychotic: A class of drugs primarily used to treat schizophrenic, paranoid, schizoaffective and other psychotic disorders, acute delirium and dementia and manic episodes. However, at low doses, these medications are often used to treat the anxiety associated with BPD.

Behavior Modification: The process of working to directly alter a patient's behavior patterns in order to minimize self-defeating trends and heighten productivity and self-satisfaction.
Bipolar Disorder: Previously referred to as manic depressive illness, characterized by the occurrence of mania (euphoria) alternating with bouts of depression.
Borderline Personality Disorder: A personality disorder characterized by extreme instability and impulsivity, fear of abandonment and self-injurious behavior.
Boundaries: In Borderline Personality Disorder patients, the concept of boundaries involves a sense of respect for another person's personal space. Since BPD patients often have difficulty with this, treatment often involves setting limits to teach and underline boundaries.
Bulimia Nervosa: An eating disorder characterized by consuming large quantities of food and then purging behavior through vomiting and/or excessive physical exercise. Bulimia, as well as anorexia, are common co-occurring conditions in patients with Borderline Personality Disorder.
C - back to the top
Closed Setting: A characteristic of a psychiatric institution meaning that it does not permit its patients to leave unsupervised areas.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy: A type of psychotherapy in which the therapist teaches the patient to restructure his or her cognitive beliefs, (i.e. thought patterns) and hence, behavior.
Co-morbidity: The presence of coexisting or additional diseases with reference to an initial diagnosis. Comorbidity may affect the ability of affected individuals to function and also their survival; it may be used as a prognostic indicator for length of hospital stay, cost factors, and outcome or survival.
Co-occurring Disorders: Disorders that commonly coincide with a certain condition. An example is bulimia as a co-occurring disorder of Borderline Personality Disorder.
Countertransference: The therapist's emotional response to the transference (see Transference). At times, negative countertransference may cause limitations and interfere with the patient's treatment.
Cutting: A common practice among people with BPD is to self-injure by cutting their skin with knives or other sharp objects.
D-E back to the top
Day Treatment Program: A treatment program for psychiatric patients that is comprised of structured daily classes, therapy and activities, but where the patient returns to his/her own home at the end of the day.

Impulse Control Disorders: Disorders that affect a person's judgment or ability to control strong and often harmful impulses, such as verbal or physical violence, substance abuse, eating behavior and sexual promiscuity.
N - back to the top
Narcissistic Personality Disorder: A personality disorder characterized by excessive feelings of self-importance and entitlement, a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy. These qualities are usually defenses against a deep-seeded feeling of inferiority or of being un-loveable.
Neurotic Personality: A mental disorder in which the predominant disturbance is a distressing symptom or group of symptoms that one considers unacceptable and alien to one's personality. There is no marked loss of reality testing; behavior does not actively violate gross social norms, although it may be quite disabling. The disturbance is relatively enduring or recurrent without treatment and is not limited to a mild transitory reaction to stress. In general, neurotic personality is a level of mental disorders that is less severe than Borderline Personality Disorder.
Neurotransmitters: Brain chemicals that communicate between nerve cells, and are thought to be largely responsible for a person's feelings, emotions, actions and behavior.
Object Relations: In the behavioral sciences, a school of thought that emphasizes the importance of mental representation of the self and of others. In this theory, an individual's perception of external reality is largely directed by the unconscious internal representation of self an others. This theory proposes that individuals with BPD respond to internal representations that do not adequately match the real people the individual is dealing with. This could explain, for example, why a BPD patient may be convinced that another person is abandoning them when that is not the case.
Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder: A personality disorder characterized by recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images experienced as intrusive and distressing. Recognized as being excessive and unreasonable even though it is the product of one's mind. These thoughts, impulses, or images cannot be expunged by logic or reasoning
P - back to the top
Paranoid Ideation: Ideation, of less than delusional proportions, involving suspiciousness or the belief that one is being harassed, persecuted, or unfairly treated. In some cases, it may be so extreme that reality can no longer be evaluated correctly, and then it becomes part of psychotic illness.
Partial Hospitalization: A level of treatment where the patient spends a certain number of hours at the facility each day and returns to their home at night. Usually for more acute patients than day hospital programs, but less acute than inpatient or residential programs.
Personality: Enduring patterns of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the environment and oneself. Personality traits are prominent aspects of character that are exhibited in a wide range of important social and personal contexts. Only when personality traits are inflexible and maladaptive and cause either significant functional impairment or subjective distress do they constitute a Personality Disorder.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: A diagnosis based on symptoms of fear, terror, helplessness, avoidance of stimuli associated with past trauma, emotional numbing, sleep problems, irritability, hypervigilance, depression, anxiety, and poor concentration. This diagnosis is made when these symptoms follow the experience of a traumatic event.
Projection: A defense mechanism, operating unconsciously, in which what is emotionally unacceptable in the self is unconsciously rejected and attributed (projected) to others, often the treating therapist.
Psychoanalysis: The method of psychological therapy originated by Sigmund Freud in which free association, dream interpretation, and analysis of transference are used to explore repressed or unconscious impulses, anxieties, and internal conflicts, in order to free psychic energy for mature love and work.
Psychodynamic or Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy: A form of therapy centered around the interaction of various conscious and unconscious mental or emotional processes involved in the patient's interpersonal difficulties, especially as they influence personality, behavior, and attitudes. It is based on psychoanalytic concepts but can be adapted more specifically to BPD.
Psychosis: A severe mental disorder characterized by loss of contact with reality and causing deterioration of normal social functioning.
S - back to the top
Schizoid Personality Disorder: A personality disorder marked by extreme shyness, flat affect, reclusiveness, discomfort with others, and an inability to form close relationships.
Secondary Gain: The external gain derived from any illness, such as personal attention and service, monetary gains, disability benefits, and release from unpleasant responsibilities.
Splitting: A mental mechanism in which the self or others are reviewed as all good or all bad, with failure to integrate the positive and negative qualities of self and others into cohesive images. Often the person alternately idealizes and devalues the same person. From a psychoanalytic point of view, splitting is fundamental to Borderline Personality Disorder, and underlies the dramatic shifts in the person's experience of self and others and their difficulty in finding a stable adaptation to life.
Stepping Down: In the course of treatment, when a patient moves from a more intensive level of care (i.e. inpatient care) to a lesser one (i.e. day treatment program.)
Suicidal Intent: Having the intention or behaviors suggesting that one is going to take one's own life.
Supportive Psychotherapy: A form of psychotherapy in which consistency, support from others and a hopeful attitude are used to contain and sustain the patient through crisis periods, and encourage small gains over time.
T - back to the top
Transference: The unconscious assignment to others of feelings and attitudes that were originally associated with important figures (parents, siblings, etc.) in one's early life. The transference may or may not be a distortion of what actually occurred in early life, since it is based on early experiences as perceived by the developing mind. The psychiatrist utilizes this phenomenon as a therapeutic tool to help the patient understand emotional problems and their origins. In the patient-physician relationship, the transference may be negative (hostile) or positive (affectionate). In BPD, the transference often alternates between negative and positive.
Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP): A specialized version of psychodynamic psychotherapy including an emphasis on certain aspects of psychoanalytic theory and modifications of some techniques of psychodynamic therapy in order to adequately address the special problems of borderline patients. Its roots are in the object relations model and the ensuing emphasis on transference as the key to understanding and change in the patient, since it is believed that the patient's internal world of object representations unfolds and is "lived" in the transference.

Don't you love the smell of tomato plants - even before there are any tomatoes on them? It's a little sharp but somehow incredibly healthy.
So I take it all back, Thompson and Morgan, they are obviously quality seeds, if small in number.
I am watering the plants conscientiously with a special tomato feed supplement every evening and it seems to be working. The only problem with the plant above, the biggest, is that if there's a storm, it's so big and heavy that it could easily break.
Still, the problems of success!

To reverse Harper's attack ad aimed at Dion, one might ask, what kind of leader is Harper? Autocratic is the answer He keeps his troops well-muzzled and would like to do the same thing to the arts community. His attack on the arts and artists, was ably countered by Margaret Atwood and I think also that les Quebecois are less than pleased. But, of course, people in the arts are all feeding from the public trough and should keep quiet.
Harper is also the only party leader who has refused to respond to Make Poverty History. Probably because he's sure that a lot of the poor won't vote, so it doesn't matter.
Then there's the -- our economy is fine, oops, wait a minute, nope, we are in trouble and only I can save us. Actually, the only thing that might save us is to take a completely new approach, bite the bullet and move toward a green economy.
That's enough about politics so I'll move on to more enjoyable things.
The Word on the Street event took place yesterday and we had sunshine. There were not as many booths as in previous years and NONE of the political parties were there. I wanted to contribute to the save Al Purdy's house fund, but couldn't take advantage of the - contribute $25.00 and get a free book deal. I do have the address though and can send a smaller donation.
Purdy was an excellent, and accessible Canadian poet. The house was due to be sold because his widow couldn't maintain it. She proposed turning it into a writer's retreat if enough money can be raised. For more information see
I was happy to find Brucedale press was at Word on the Street again, they publish writers who live in the Bruce Peninsula area. New this year, The Book Band which represents four or five small press publishers in the part of Ontario.

Happy new year all! I hope that it has been just as happy as the phrase commands and if your new year has not been a bed of roses (maybe that's the wrong saying because a rose bed would be quite prickly) maybe if your new year has been a bed of roses, thorns hidden amongst the festive cheer, then I hope the year to come brings the happiness that has escaped the season. The new year is usually laden with corny phrases and lacklustre determination to achieve the goals that will make this the year that changes it all. For some lucky lotto winners this is literally the year that things started looking up with the addition of two more mere mortals turned millionaires, but for the majority of us it's singing the same 'new year, new me' tune, people begin to question why they've been out on the planet which comes alongside a drive to find ones purpose and for those who feel like they've found it, a list of resolutions to help them achieve it.
This year I have missed the new year self transformation boat and January has felt like the 13th month of the year, with the only difference being the waves of excitement I feel in knowing that this year I will tie the knot and marry the man I can't wait to do life with. Not a single New Years resolution in sight, I have stopped chasing for the new me that I hadn't seen fit to find in 2015.
What's changed?
1. I've accepted that the old me was already on a journey of improvement which has continued on
2. I'm so excited about 2016 I haven't had the times to fret about my shortcomings and to worry about what my future holds.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not slating those of you who have written your list and are trusting God to help you achieve everything therein. It just dawned on my that there is more to life than chasing goals and wishing you had a raison d'être. Before you pick up your pitch-forks let me explain the blasphemy.
What am I grasping at?
Do I firmly believe you are created for a purpose? Yes
Do I want you to achieve all that God has for you? Yes
Do I want you to be consumed trying to figure out what you're meant to do, whilst life passes you by? Definitely not
All I all I just can't muster the energy to make January all about me.
It is important to have a vision and to follow up that vision by setting goals, but it is also important to not get blind-sighted trying to find your purpose you forget to use the gifts you know you've been blessed with for the purpose we all share. Whatever my goals are, if they don't play a part in loving the Lord my God with all my heart and all my soul or loving my neighbour as I love myself then it's likely they fall into the self gratification scheme of things or the get rich motive many of us keep on a back burner.
There is a lot of benefit in using this year to get fit and to progress in your career but if the only person you're loving with your goals is yourself, I think now is the time to make room for some more.
A couple of days ago I sat opposite a woman on the tube who was clearly fighting tears. As I searched in my bag for something resembling tissues a was relieved I could offer her some unused Pret serviettes which she accepted and then let the waterworks flow. I sat opposite her and I squirmed. Should I get up and hover next to her trying to speak to her through the glass on the end of the carriage or should I crouch in front of her and completely freak her out by trying to not tumble and speak sense at the same time? After a couple of stops of debating with myself the woman sitting next to her got off and suddenly I was faced with a whole new dilemma: to move or not to move. I'd just been tweeting about speaking to people you wouldn't normally speak to and I could see God staring at me asking if I was going to be all mouth and no motion. I decided to man up and began a conversation that started with small talk about tissues and ended in us sharing a genuine squeeze as she thanked me. I didn't do much. I didn't preach about how Jesus could save her from all her problems, even though I believe he can. I didn't use it as an opportunity to talk salvation and the imminent nature of hell, despite being fully aware of the importance of giving ones life to Christ. What I did do was lend an ear and offer a hug midway to a stranger who looked like she needed a cuddle.
I'm not sure what your purpose is, I don't even know the full extent of mine, what I do know is that we are commissioned first and foremost to love. First our God, and then each other, and with each breath we need to make it our mission to do so.
"Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law."
Romans 13:8-10 NKJV
Instead of #newyearnewme Why not use 2016 to see where love can take you. I can say I love therefore I lean in for an awkward hug with a crying woman? What will you let love cause you to do. If you have any experiences where you've been able to step outside of yourself to show love I'd love to hear about them 🙂
Love lots,

Amazon Wants Your Old CDs for Cold, Hard Store Credit
On the off chance that you've still got any laying around, Amazon is preparing to let customers exchange old compact discs for cold, hard store credit.
The online retailer on Wednesday added music CDs to the list of items that can be traded in for a gift card via the Amazon Trade-In Program. A quick note: The CD trade-in mechanism doesn't appear to be live yet and nobody, including PCMag, has been able to get the official word from Amazon on when that will happen.
Amazon's Trade-In Program has until now mainly been a swap meet for electronics products but books, video games, and DVDs are also listed as items that can be exchanged. Trading in music CDs, when the company starts accepting them, could fetch customers about $2 or $3 apiece, according to retail experts polled by SmartMoney blogger Kelli Grant.
That's not a lot of reward, though Amazon does pop for the shipping costs on trade-in items. And who knows, maybe there's a big contingent of CD pack rats itching to get reacquainted with the joys of printing out shipping labels and packing slips out there.
One thing to note is that Amazon, like other online buyers of used CDS, wants the jewel boxes and cover art included in your original purchase from way back when. Scratched discs will likely be rejected, as well.
With CDs going to the way of the dinosaurs as people increasingly get their music via MP3s, why does Amazon want in on such a dwindling market, anyway? Probably because people trading in stuff for gift cards and store credit spend about 40 percent more than its value when they redeem it, Grant pointed out.
What's more, getting more participants in a program like its trade-in portal tends to create loyal customers for Amazon, something for which the savvy online retailer is always in the market, the blogger noted.
At the very least, it's nice to know that some of our musical purchases from days gone by look to be getting a temporary reprieve from landfill duty.

A Discovery of Wiches
One late afternoon, I was toying the iTouch and was looking for interesting to do. So I logon to Pinterest app there and was browsing from nothing to everything. Then I stumbled upon a book title ----A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES by Deborah Harkness. So I made my research and they say it's an experimental book (by the author) and critics say it's a combination of Twilight and Harry Potter.
~ Image from A Discovery of Witches Site ~
Then I found a nice site with free pdf file of the book *here*
I'm still reading the book though and I like it. Second book is already out and the third book is still not finished (according to site). BTW, production team is in the process so expect A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES in the Theaters soon! Yey! I wonder who will portray Matthew Clairmont! <3>3>

The Mueller article sets out a clear definition of authentic assessments, "students perform real world tasks that demonstrate meaningful application of essential knowledge and skills." This seems to be such a key instructional idea yet it also seems fraught with difficulties as experiences for students vary as does level. Mueller presents so clearly just how important it is to have clear goals and standards in mind so you know what to assess for so that there is a clear sense of this leads to this and we want them to be able to do this. When he speaks about constructing our own meaning of the world that just clicks for me, because that's the real challenge especially when dealing with a lot of students since how everyone finds meaning can vary so much. Yet you want to make sure that no one is left behind, but a teacher and librarian only has so much time so a lot of work goes into making sure the assessments are as effective as possible.
Young's article presents a great list to think about in terms of what data are you collecting and why and her three main ideas of important types of data; access, suitability and competency. I think in those three main ideas, she really sums up all the key ideas for what a good school library should be giving to its students and school. Also I can see how good data collection can become the basis for consistent advocacy throughout the year.
I love the illustration for the Todd article and how he uses the word transform in terms of learning, because that's a phrase that I think captures so much of what good teaching is. It transforms how you think and understand a subject. His three ways of thinking of evidence makes a lot of sense evidence in, for, and of practice so that there's a process going on in creating a project and with the reflection involved in all parts of it and data collection. Since good assessment will end up creating strong evidence as will thoughtfully created assignments. I especially like how he speaks of focusing on what students achieve since first off that's more measurable but also powerful. Also the fact that he talks about drawing together evidence from multiple schools and libraries and not just when you have to since that will improve the experience for everyone.
I'm not sure that I agree with Woolls' difference between evaluation and measurement, I can see how she's trying to make the idea of collecting evidence less worrying and test based. At this point, I'm just unsure about her word choice. Her idea about using effective assessment to show just what the media program is doing seems so key and really ties into the discussion about advocacy last week. One of the major issues seems to be which standards to you use and what's the best way to use them. I like the idea of basing evaluation around the curriculum, it makes so much sense in terms of looking at what the school wants to achieve.
The idea of formative assessment seems quite powerful though it sounds as if unless its done well, it could take a good amount of time from the project. I'm reminded of Carl Harvey and how the assessment was built into the project from the start and how that seems to have made them really powerful. Also the idea of constantly evaluating how the library is working, what programs are is a powerful reflective tool to make sure that as a librarian, you're constantly aware of what you need to do and what needs to keep going as it is.

Waste & Recycling
As a provider of scientifically based horticultural and environmental services, Davey generates a significant amount of wood waste, producing more than one million tonnes of wood waste each year. Wood waste accounts for nearly 100 percent of Davey's total waste. As responsible stewards of our natural environment, we are committed to decreasing our waste footprint.
Management Approach
While we strive to reuse or recycle 100 percent of our generated wood waste, not all wood waste is recyclable. Due to regulations and health concerns with disease or insect-infested wood, we can only recycle approximately 93 percent of our wood waste.
Wood waste is managed at the facility level, with each facility manager responsible for reusing, recycling or disposing of waste, while complying with all laws and regulations regarding proper disposal of hazardous waste and pollution prevention. In several markets, our operations are consolidating wood waste and partnering with local mulching companies. In other markets, wood waste is diverted on a site-to-site basis. Often, Davey facilities will donate waste to local partners in need of wood, such as youth camps, or spread wood chips onto utility line rights-of-way.
Each year, we estimate wood waste based on the amount of wood produced by labor hour by service line. Estimating our wood waste helps account for our total waste footprint as we continually work to find new ways to reduce and recycle wood.

Vanessa has always been a resilient, driven, and determined woman. Having been diagnosed with anxiety and learning disabilities in her teens, Vanessa was used to working hard at her education. This wasn't always easy. She found herself in and out of school, and eventually started using drugs and alcohol to cope. This helped for a while, but eventually brought on new sets of problems. Vanessa made the choice to get clean. Now, she needed to start going after the things she wanted. She wanted to feel good about herself, she wanted new friends, and, she wanted a job.
Vanessa knew that she needed to complete her Grade 12 Diploma. This time, Vanessa was not giving up. She tried Adult Education Centres, she tried studying for the General Equivalency Diploma and she tried connecting to smaller literacy providers. When something wasn't a good fit, she moved on. Last stop...correspondence at Peterborough Alternative Continuing Education (PACE). She started working with Ontario Works Student Earn & Learn staff on a regular basis, accessing encouragement, support, and some extra financial support with her school costs. She switched jobs to accommodate her school work. She asked for extra help with school work. In just a few short months, Vanessa successfully completed her Grade 12 Diploma. She proudly wore her graduation cap and gown in June 2014. Vanessa was very quick to credit staff in helping her along the way:
"I would like to thank you for the continuous support and guidance...you have been a great impact in my life and I view my accomplishments as a reflection of the support and guidance I have received from you..."
Vanessa started the Personal Support Worker Program in August of 2014. She loves this next step on her journey!

Hurricane Irma expected Thursday
Tropical storm forms in far eastern Atlantic Ocean
UPDATE HERE: Fast-forming Hurricane Irma could be Cat 3 storm by Thursday night
Tropical Storm Irma continued to gather strength overnight and will likely become a hurricane Thursday, National Hurricane Center forecasters said.
In their latest advisory, forecasters said sustained winds had picked up to 70 mph and were likely to keep building as the storm rolled west at 12 mph into warm tropical waters. Irma was located about 590 miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands.
Over past 5 Septembers (2012-16), Atlantic has only had 1.25 Cat. 3+ hurricane days combined. #Irma likely to eclipse that mark by itself. pic.twitter.com/BRgv0TrnHq— Philip Klotzbach (@philklotzbach) August 31, 2017
In the coming days, the storm will encounter low wind shear, allowing it to intensify. It's expected to encounter some dry air, but not enough to wring it out, they said. They expect it to remain over the tropical Atlantic at least through Tuesday.
While it's still not clear what impacts it will have to land, track models show it steering more to the southwest on a more ominous course for Florida and the U.S. coast. It's expected to turn slightly south in the next two days in response to a high pressure system.
Over the next five days, forecasters said there's a chance winds could reach 120 mph, making Irma a major Cat 3 hurricane.
Forecasters said they are also keeping an eye on a low pressure system in the Gulf of Mexico that could bring additional rain to heavily flooded parts of the Texas and Louisiana coasts. It's too soon to tell how much rain and forecasters gave the system just a 20 percent chance of forming.

The International Labour Organization is responsible for the only two international Conventions ever adopted for the protection of the rights and cultures of indigenous and tribal peoples. The Indigenous and Tribal Populations Convention, 1957 (No. 107) and the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169) that revised and replaced Convention No. 107, are the only international Conventions ever adopted on the subject, and Convention No. 169 is the only one that can now be ratified. This volume, together with its companion published in 2015, make clear that the basic concepts and the very vocabulary of international human rights on indigenous and tribal peoples derives from these two Conventions. The adoption in 2007 of the UN Declaration on the Rights Of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), and the ongoing discussions in the international human rights community about the relative merits, impact and legal validity of the UN and ILO instruments, make it all the more important to understand how Convention 169 was adopted.
The author of this unique study was responsible for many years for the supervision of both Conventions in the ILO's supervisory machinery, and was intimately involved in the adoption of the 1989 instrument, as well as in international discussions on the subject of indigenous and tribal peoples. In writing this two-volume study, he goes a strict "travaux" approach, and discusses the organizational precedents and the subsequent practice under these instruments.The supervision of the application of these Conventions is very largely unknown in the wider human rights community, and even in the more specialized "indigenous community" that forms a special subset of human rights activists. This guide may be of some help in redressing that situation.

Letters to the Editor
Thank you for help in time of grief
Courtney McGhee savagely lost her life to domestic violence. Courtney's death is debilitating to our family but we will rise and not become victims in the aftermath of Charles McGhee's crimes.
Courtney led her life in a Christ-like manner; caring, loving, selfless, giving and as a devoted mother and provider. Courtney loved life and had a beautiful soul. The community suffers a great loss as well. The family stresses the need for awareness of the signs of domestic violence, as the victims are often silent. It is important to educate ourselves on the warning signs and act upon them without fear of repercussions if your suspicions are wrong.
We want Courtney to be remembered for the person she was and never be forgotten. Her smile, beautiful blue eyes and the sound of her laughter. That's how we will remember Courtney. We will honor Courtney by emulating her compassionate soul and selflessness.
The family wishes to extend their deepest heartfelt gratitude to the people of Centre County who have embraced them during this difficult time. Including the first responders both fire and medical on the night of June 5, 2017, Officer Bill Witmer for his diligence and expertise as lead detective and the entire Bellefonte Police Department, Officers Ken Shaffer and Nicole Foley of the State College Police Department, former DA Stacy Parks Miller and team and current district attorney and team who have been instrumental in bringing this case to fruition.

Car Insurance: the parked car trap
From today (20th June 2011) all motor vehicles, cars, vans, bikes or whatever must now be either insured or the DVLA must be notified (SORN declaration) that they are off the road.
Our Opinion
In theory this is a sensible posture to take on car insurance. No doubt some people have been trying to run more than one vehicle relying on the 'driving other cars' extension. (Not possible now in practice as a) it must be someone else's car b) that other car must be insured - see a certificate of motor insurance and c) many policies do not give' driving other cars' - a comprehensive policy does not give that benefit automatically - despite what people say.
In practice this is going to be very awkward - if you buy a new car, you must now tell DVLA that your car is off the road or insure it separately while waiting for it to be sold (and the market for second hand cars isn't the best these days, especially for gas-guzzlers.
The avowed reason (to stop people driving their cars while uninsured) also seem a bit pointless - the rogues won't register the cars in their own name - if they bother doing so at all.
As insurance brokers, of course, we can usually arrange for the old vehicle to be insured as a temporary additional vehicle for up to a month without much problem (usually we don't charge for this service other than the premium the insurance company charge - it is included in our administration fee for processing the change of vehicle.) However if you have bought a policy online then prepare to be ripped off.

Instead of waiting for summer to have you warm wedding day, why not go to another part of the world? Cuba is a gorgeous island located approximately 90 miles south of Florida. It is a beautiful exotic location and if you can afford it, you should definitely consider Cuba!
There are many different parts of the island to visit, Veradero has a long, beautiful stretch of beach, while Havana has no beach but many gorgeous old buildings, full of history and culture.
Wedding Destinations in Cuba
There are very many different resorts in Cuba, all of them usually cater to weddings and honeymooners. Many hotels have beautiful viewpoints facing the ocean, so you can get married while watching the ocean beside you. Below are some of the hotels in Cuba that are ideal locations for holding a wedding. All of these places are perfect wedding photo opportunities, with island flowers waving in the breeze and the ocean a brilliant blue underneath the Caribbean sun.
Melia Las Americas is a five-star resort located in Veradero, Cuba. It rests along a 7-km stretch of beach that is shared by other resorts as well. There are bungalows available, all of them are two-storey. The beach in Varadero is renowned for being one of the best on the island, and is a must-see for either your honeymoon, or even for the wedding service!
Melia Cohiba is a five-star resort located in historic Havana, Cuba. This international hotel has a swimming pool, gift shops, and three restaurants inside, as well as many restaurants close by. There are many nightclubs in downtown Havana, and all of the buildings boast amazing architecture. You can take a Coco taxi through Havana, these little taxis are open-air and shaped like a coconut! The hotel is located along the Malecon, a stretch of sidewalk along the ocean that is a popular nightspot for everyone at night. Cuban people usually take a stroll along the Malecon, it is right next to the ocean and at some points, you can see the water crashing over onto the sidewalk, so be careful where you sit or you may get wet!
Paradisus Rio De Oro is located in Holguin, Cuba. While it is far from the nightlife of Havana or Veradero, it is a calm spot with a lovely spa and definitely a treat to the honeymooner! The hotel is a five-star, friendly staff and they have a gorgeous gazebo overlooking the ocean.
When getting married in a Caribbean resort, you must remember that while you and your wedding party may be dressed up, other patrons at the resort who will probably stop to watch the ceremony may be wearing their swimming attire! That's why it's important to request a private setting for your wedding, if possible.
Remember, the food is not the same as at home, and the culture is very different from North American culture. It's important to review the resort you choose before going, some of the places are not as good as they seem!
An advantage to going to a tropical location for your wedding is that you can stay for one week with your hotel guests there for the wedding, then the next week on your own for your honeymoon! And having a wedding in an exotic location guarantees you will have wonderful wedding pictures, as the vibrantly coloured flora and fauna in the background of your photos will prove.
Remember Babylon Productions when planning your Cuban wedding! We will provide an experienced photographer who will capture the luscious location as the backdrop for the photos of the happy faces of the wedding party, and the dazzling smiles of the bride and groom. Our wedding photographers are the best in the business, and boast over 25 years of experience. Hire the best. Hire Babylon.

Cast: Anil Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Ileana D'Cruz, Athiya Shetty, Ratna Pathak Shah, Pavan Malhotra, Neha Sharma, Rahul Dev, Karan Kundra and Lalit Parimu
Direction: Anees Bazmee
Genre: Comedy
Duration: 2 hours 36 minutes
Director Anees Bazmee, story writers Rupinder Chahal and Balwinder Singh Janjua and dialogue writer Rajesh Chawla, take a bow for making a clean film that is an out-and-out entertainer
Story Of the Movie:
Mubarkan is a comedy movie that has been served in Patiala peg. Story is that, Kartar Singh's (Anil Kapoor) brother dies in a car accident by leaving two children named, Charan (Arjun), Karan (Arjun in a double role).Now kartar's responsiblity is to take care of his orphan nephews. He says to his other brother (Pawan Malhotra) who lives in Punjab to take care of Charan and to his sister (ratna pathak shah) to care Karan in landon. Time passes very fast. Children grow up and meet with each others. And after that the session of confusion begins.
Mubarkan Movie Review:
Talking about the acting of stars, Arjun Kapoor's acting is good, but his uncle, Anil Kapoor is the lifeline of the film. Anil has succeeded to win audience's love by his strong performance with powerful energy. Ileana D'Cruz has played her role very well. And other end, Athiya shetty has failed to grab attention of people in the cinema halls. Pawan and Ratna have performed their roles in well manner. Apart from this, Neha Sharma, Rahul Dev, Karan Kundra and Lalit Parimu's acting are good.
The film is directed by Anees Bazmee. His direction is good, but screen play is not agile. After interval, it seems that the movie is too long. It could be crisp on editing table. Dialogues are OK, but most jokes in the pictures look like WhatsApp's jokes that sometime make you laugh and sometime they bore you. Songs are also not good but background music is average. Cinematographic and locations are tempting.
Why You See:
The biggest thing of the movie is that it's a clean comedy based film. It's a loud comedy as having a Punjabi family in backdrop whereby you can say its Anees family comedy movie. Although, it is a not completed entertainment film, but you can go in theater to enjoy "Chacha or Bhatija ki Jugalbandi" this weekend.

I love the changes that come with spring. It's like the whole world wakes up from a deep sleep. Trees and plants are blooming and springing up everywhere.
Tag: goats
Welcome to the Funny Farm.
I don't know if it's the warm weather, the approach of Spring, or what, but our animals have been acting a little out-of-character lately.
|Solomon in the doe building.
First, there's Solomon. Y'all may not remember him, but he's the little buckling that was born a few days before Christmas. I know that people usually say that goats are amazing escape artists, and I can't tell you how many times I've heard, "You can't keep a goat in". We've never had that problem. The whole time that we've had our goats they've been little angels, even the bucks. That is, until our precious Solomon came along.
This one little buckling has managed to escape from the doe pen almost every single day for the past few weeks. We even found him over in the buck pen one day (I still haven't figured out how he got over there, but there he was bouncing around with the boys) and a few times down at the little garden bridge by the pond. It's been several days since he last got out, so I think we've finally stopped his adventures. As exasperating as Solomon has been, I have to admit, he's become my favorite goat. All of our goats are friendly and sweet, but he's the sweetest one (when he's not escaping and running amok). He loves to be picked up and held, and begs for attention whenever we go into the doe pen.
Next is Benni (or Ben, as we call her). Ben was one of the African goslings we ordered from Metzer's last year. She's only a little over seven months old, has laid five eggs so far, and has decided to go broody. She's got to be the Silkie of geese. She and the Pilgrim goose, Aubrieanne, have always believed they're ducks instead of geese. They avoid the other geese like the plague, so I'm fairly certain the eggs Ben is setting on aren't even fertile. I'm thinking about giving her a couple of the Toulouse eggs (which are fertile), so she'll at least have something to show for her efforts.
|Ben on a foggy morning in November.
Ben isn't our only bird to go broody this week. We also have two Indian Runners that have decided to indulge their maternal instincts. Runners are known for being prolific egg layers, but rarely go broody. I guess our two girls didn't get that memo. Come to think of it, one of our Pekins, Susan, went broody last year at about this time, too. Pekins are another duck breed that isn't known for their parenting abilities. Susan kept to her nest, and managed to hatch out two very adorable ducklings. If these girls manage to stay on their nests, we should have ducklings in about 28 days.
Speaking of ducks. . . They have finally found the pond at the bottom of the hill. Yay! You see, we have the older ducks (two Rouens, named Bee and Bop, and Susan) that we've had for a while. Then, we have the ducks that we added last year: a few Indian Runners, a couple of Indian Runner x Pekins, a couple of Pekins, Khaki Campbells, and a pair of Jumbo Pekins (appropriately nicknamed Grandma and Grandpa). Most of those ducks came from a nice lady a couple of towns over that needed a new home for them, and since we were wanting to add to our flock, they came to live with us.
Bee, Bop, and Susan knew where the pond was, and would occasionally visit it during the day when they were free ranging. Somehow, they forgot to share that information with the others. . .or maybe they wanted to keep their secret swimming hole to themselves. I've even tried to lead the newer ducks to it a couple of times with no luck (they made it halfway down the hill, and decided that was far enough). Instead, they have happily made do with their kiddie pools.
That is, until this week. I guess the Rouens and Susan finally let it slip (or maybe one of the new ducks surreptitiously followed them down to the pond). There they were one afternoon when we looked out, splashing around and having the time of their lives. It's got to be a big improvement over the kiddie pools for them, and the best thing of all, no one has to wait for their turn in the water.
|Three of the ducks enjoying the pond today.
Egg Ornaments
The past couple of months I've been working on egg ornaments for our Christmas tree and to give as presents to a few relatives and friends. Egg ornaments are made from blown out eggs, which are then painted, decorated, and coated with Mod Podge. We've had a surplus of duck eggs the past few months, so that's what I mainly used. I've read that chicken eggs are a little easier to decorate because of the difference in the texture of their egg shells, and it did seem like the few chicken eggs that I did were a little easier.
I used a wooden skewer to break up the egg yolk and a syringe to blow the contents out. It makes the whole process much easier. Then, of course, the eggs are rinsed out and dried in either the oven or the microwave.
This is right after the first coat of paint. I painted one of the eggs black and covered it with white glitter just to experiment a little (I wish I'd done more that way, because it's one of my favorites). The eggs are drying on wooden skewers that are stuck into floral styrofoam.
I glued cleaned feathers from our ducks, peafowl, and guineas to some of the eggs as decorations. Other eggs were decorated with rub-ons. After the glue had dried on the eggs with feathers on them, all of the eggs were sprayed with Mod Podge.
Once the last coat of Mod Podge had dried, we inserted beading wire through the eggs to make hangers. Beads and bead caps were used to hide the holes on each end of the eggs.
I ended up making about 30 egg ornaments in all, and as much fun as it was, I'm so glad to be through.
Now, I know this is completely off topic, but I couldn't resist adding a picture of a little buckling that one of our does had on Monday. His sire, one of my favorite goats, passed a couple of months ago, so I'm very proud to have this little guy. Right now, he isn't named, but that will change soon.
Little Mose is growing up.
|Mose nibbling grass with one of the kids, Rosalie, behind him.
Our little donkey foal, Mose, is almost two weeks old now, and he's growing so fast it's unbelievable. I try to go out and spend time with him everyday, and I have to say that's my absolute favorite time of the day. I love sitting down in the afternoon and watching him explore and interact with Myrtle. Mose has these moments where he's standing still nibbling grass, and then he looks up and takes off at a full run, zooming around the pen. It's so funny to watch him bouncing around, mainly because he's almost all legs. He's starting to interact with the young goats more everyday. At first, everytime they would try to sniff him or inspect him, Mose would run back to his mother.
Myrtle is still such a wonderful mother. It's so touching to see the bond that she has with her baby. I don't know if he appreciates it, but I certainly do. I've noticed this week that Mose has begun testing his independence by not staying right by Myrtle's side all of the time like he was before.
|Mose with Penelope and Myrtle in the background.
|I couldn't resist adding a picture of Penelope, my little bottle baby from last year.
She was checking to see if I had any more treats.
I thought I would add a fun fact about donkeys to this post. Did you know: Donkeys are similar to Silkie chickens in that they tend to be very dedicated mothers. They're also usually good companions for other livestock.

Just-in-time manufacturing (JIT), Production-control system, developed by Toyota Motor Corp. and imported to the West, that has revolutionized manufacturing methods in some industries. By relying on daily deliveries of most supplies, it eliminates waste due to overproduction and lowers warehousing costs. Supplies are closely monitored and quickly altered to meet changing demands, and small and accurate resupply deliveries must be made just as they are needed. Because there are no spares, the components must be free of defects. Plants wholly dedicated to the JIT concept require a logistics staff to schedule production, balancing product demand with plant capacity and availability of inputs. JIT has worked most effectively for large automobile manufacturers, which may have several thousand suppliers feeding parts into 100 factories that assemble components for 20 assembly lines.

Expert Review
This is one of my favorite publications, and I look forward to receiving it every quarter. Between its glossy pages are hours of inspiration, education, and opportunities to learn something new. I'm always amazed at by the exciting techniques and the imaginative use of common embroidery stitches featured in each issue by internationally known teachers like Trish Burr, Alison Cole, Carolyn Pearce, Jane Nicholas, Yvette Stanton, Margaret Light and others.
Don't be discouraged if some of the techniques featured in this magazine appear advanced. They're actually very doable, and the photos and directions will guide you through the process with ease. You'll be amazed by the incredible photos of reader's submission featured in each issue, often by stitchers new to a particular technique. If you see something that inspired you, gather your embroidery threads and fabrics and start stitching!

When our son John was two years old, he developed a hernia. I didn't know it was a hernia; I only knew that something was growing on his body and it concerned me. I took him to the emergency room where I was informed that it was a hernia. I was told that kids never outgrow hernias and they never just go away; it would only be removed through surgery.
We were instructed to see our pediatrian who confirmed the diagnosis and referred us to a surgeon. Once there, I was told the same thing – this was a hernia, kids never outgrew them, they never went away on their own and it would require surgery. I was told it was an easy fix and nothing to be concerned about, in fact, he said I could put off the surgery for a couple of months if I wanted to. No big deal, he said.
Well, it was kind of a bigger deal than he let on. First of all, this was my son he was talking about and no surgery seems minor when it concerns your kid and secondly, we did not have insurance or the money to pay for the surgery.
We needed a miracle – either the money to pay for surgery or divine healing (please God, heal him without surgery was my heart's desire) but I prayed that God's will would be done even if it meant surgery.
I owned a small daycare at the time and explained to the kids there that the Bible says if we lay hands on the sick, they will recover. I asked those who were willing to come lay hands on John and pray. All the ambulatory kids came over; the only one old enough to even understand what I said was 3 1/2 years old, the rest were 2 and under, but still willing to stand in agreement! I began praying a prayer. One designed to move mountains and the hand of God. After all, I learned how to do this in Bible school and while it was theologically correct, I knew it wasn't moving the hand of God. The kids were looking at me puzzled and so I did the only wise thing to do. I stopped praying. When I did, the little girl said simply "And please Jesus, make my friend John all better. Amen"
Wow! Have you ever just known that you know that you know that a matter is settled? It feels like peace, an incredibly sweet peace and that is what I felt. I knew our son was healed.
The evidence of that healing wasn't visible for several days but the hernia did disappear. I still had an appointment with the surgeon and so I took John for a checkup. The doctor was amazed but pronounced him healed; there was no evidence of a hernia. Praise God!
In the course of one week, I shared that story with two different people groups. The first group was a Sunday School class of elementary aged children. Their responses were incredible. They said things like "Wow! Jesus is so real", "He's just so real!" "Wow! He just healed him!" "What's a hernia?" Their countenances glowed with awe. They spoked in hushed tones. It was like we were standing on holy ground. It was truly an incredible moment.
The next group I shared this story with was really only one man. A man probably in his seventies that attended the church we attended. I knew his wife suffered from different illnesse and he was her primary caretaker and I shared the story to encourage him in his faith as he was discouraged. His response – "What you don't have any insurance?!" For the next few weeks when I would see him at church, he would bring me phone numbers and addresses of places to get insurance and names of places to go for medical help for the uninsured. So deep was his concern over my lack of insurance.
I was shocked at his response. But I realize now that too many times, we don't need God when we have other resources. I have insurance now but my faith is not in doctors no matter how great they may be (please don't take that personally if you are one), my faith is not in insurance, no matter how great it may be. My faith is in Jehovah Rapha, The God who heals me and my son and you should you need healing. He is no respecter of persons and what He has done for our son, He will do for you. He also hasn't changed; He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He still hears our prayers and heals our diseases. Isn't He awesome?

Proper financial planning takes into account the whole picture and not just a piece. Part of a financial plan is looking at risk capacity. Wisely created and finely executed financial plan helps to achieve financial goals and keeps your future financially secured.
The risk factors that influence your financial plan can be broadly classified into two major categories as the controllable, personal factors and the uncontrollable, external factors.
Personal Factors Influencing Your Financial Plan
The house you live in, the car you own, the vacations you take every year and your ability to guilt-spend in a greater capacity – all these are indicators of your standard of living. Your lifestyle is a major factor which decides the path your investments are going to take in the future. As said, higher the standard of living, greater would be the investments.

Appetite for risk
Many a times, windfall gains are a direct result of higher risks taken. However, there is a downside to this – you can lose everything you own too. Each person has their own appetite for taking risks. Some are naturally more comfortable taking risks than others. The other category of people who like to take either no risk or measured risk are termed as being risk averse. Your financial plan will shape up in line with your capacity to take risks. It goes without saying that your returns are directly related to your risk appetite.
Time has a direct relation with one's financial goals and also is important factor while choosing the investment products. The golden rule is to start investing as early as possible. If you are asking the question today – when should I start investment? Then the answer is yesterday.
Know More : This One Timeline Will Make You Successful at Anything
The simple idea behind starting investment early is that it gives you the benefit of time being on your side. Early in financial planning one is able to choose investing in high risk, high return products since they can afford to take more risk and in case of losses rebuild or repair their portfolio over a period of time.
Level of Income
If you are an entrepreneur, you know how the level of income can change rapidly. The risks involved for someone taking a salary is far higher of losing his/her job leaving them with no income. Financial planning can benefit people at all income levels. Whatever is the level of income, your financial plan should cover for savings and investments; planning for retirement, education, emergencies, major purchases, and other financial goals; and insurance needs.

Influence of Knowledge
If you have a good grasp of your own finances and how they work for you, you are one happy individual. Financial planning gives you an edge over others by providing a better understanding of financial concepts and helping you to achieve proper control over your investments. Once you know where you're headed and how long it will take to get there, then you can look at your financial plan to find out if you're spending more money than you're making.
External Factors Influencing Your Financial Plan
Socio-Economic Circumstances
These circumstances include economic cycles of a country, political and global issues. If a country is doing well, businesses grow well and investments pay good returns. If a country is facing a down slide, investments can get stuck in the rut. Similarly, political stability of a country also decides the prosperity of an economy. It has significant impact on the performance of investments.
Global issues like increase in the price of oil or even some other country going down economically, impact the investments. As a result, the graph of the global economy is also an important indicator of our growth.
Interest rates
The rates at which individuals and businesses borrow and lend to the banking sector and other lending institutions are determined by the interest rates in the economy. Usually, when people want to borrow more money to grow their businesses, interest rates in the market increase.
Read More : Why Entrepreneurs should take risks every day?
Expected rate of inflation has a direct impact on financial planning. If the inflation rate is high, one needs to look at an investment product which gives higher returns. For example, if the inflation rate is 4%, then an investor should look at an investment product which gives at least 14% returns so that the real returns is 10% (14% – 4%) in hand of the investors.

Loyal UNLV Rebels fans know one of the best ways to get fired up before a game is to fire up a grill in the parking lot – a proud tradition known as tailgating. Allow the Las Vegas personal injury law firm of, Greenman, Goldberg, Raby and Martinez, to help keep you safe by sharing some food precautions and game-day safety tips so you're ready to roar every time the Rebels take the field.
Practice Smart Food Safety
- Ensure coolers are clean and free of water (and possible mildew).
- Put perishable and non-perishable food in separate cooler sections.
- Separate raw fruits from raw vegetables.
- Wrap and carefully seal sandwiches and other prepared foods.
- Pack mayonnaise and items made with mayonnaise (such as potato salad) last.
- Pack a food thermometer (so you can test the internal temperature of grilled meat or chicken; both should reach 160 degrees).
- If you're bringing hamburgers to your tailgate party, choose pre-formed patties to minimize the handling of raw meat.
- Use a hand sanitizer or antibacterial wipe after handling raw food.
- Clean your hands after touching raw meat, and throw away any meat that falls to the ground or touches an unclean surface.
- If you're using a charcoal grill, consider instant light charcoal. It costs more than regular charcoal, but it eliminates the need for lighter fluid.
- After grilling, refrigerate food within two hours. (After this time, bacteria forms quickly on food and may be unhealthy to eat.) Elongate the "save time" of heated foods by storing them in a slow cooker until you get home and can refrigerate them properly.
- As you reload your refrigerator at home, remember a food safety maxim from the U.S. Department of Agriculture: : "When in doubt, throw it out."
Practice Smart Tailgating Safety
- Choose a designated driver.
- Drink responsibly, pacing yourself based on your presumed schedule for the day. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, and refrain from pairing alcohol with energy drinks since the latter can intensify the effects of alcohol.
- Shield yourself from the sun – and the potential for a heat illness – by wearing appropriate clothing and applying sunscreen.
- Protect your valuables. It's easy to think "everybody" is your buddy at a tailgating party. Some thieves count on people to become distracted as they drink and socialize with their friends; this is when thieves make their move. Keep money, credit cards, your IDs and even your keys in a safe place at all times.
- Dispose of trash and hot coals in their designated containers. Placing trash in the wrong container could have devastating results.
