It's "Tasty Tuesday", where every week we bring you new, fresh, local, healthy recipes and food tips. Find out what is in season, and what will keep you fuelled during and after your work outs!
Well 2016, is almost over, "FINALLY!" I'm sure some of you are saying. Between the drama of the year, and finally getting over the holiday festivities it's time to start fresh.
Speaking of fresh, I wanted to make sure everyone had a great, light and healthy appetizer to bring to their NYE parties or something you can make in the future for a dinner party year round.
The big bonus of this one, is that I used a lot of leftovers from the holiday meals, including a baguette that was starting to get a wee bit hard.
Have a safe and happy NYE, and we'll see you in 2017 for the New Year, New You Challenge!
Make Your Meal Even Healthier Tip:
Multigrain or whole wheat baguette is great for this dish, esp as the slices are so thin. Also, you can find yourself some great vegan nut cheese for this one, or skip it all together and toast the baguette slices with a bit of olive oil. The mushroom mixture is savoury enough to stand on its own.
Click through for recipe!...
Serves approx. 4-6
- 8 shiitake mushrooms
- 8 white cremini mushrooms
- 8 brown button mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic - minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- splash of white wine
- tbsp parsley
- salt & pepper
- 1 tbsp pine nuts
- baguette
- cheese -either goat or a vegan nut cheese resembling goat or ricotta
Preheat oven to 350F.
Cut baguette into thin slices and place on baking sheet.
Chop all mushrooms into small pieces. Heat olive oil in frying pan on medium heat, and add minced garlic, stirring until fragrant.
Add chopped mushrooms and stir to coat evenly. Cook down until all liquid released has evaporated.
Deglaze pan with a splash of dry white wine.
Add parsley and pine nuts, and sprinkle with a touch of salt and pepper (add more later if required).
Place baguette slices in oven and toast on both sides for a few minutes until warm but lightly browned.
Remove from oven and spread selected cheese in a thin layer on the slices and then top with the mushroom mixture.
Serve on a dish or individual plates! Be sure there are napkins as it might get a bit messy.

Our Brief History:
The PFWA has been working towards registration for approximately 8 years, under the name of the PFWA and formerly WAPF. Other groups of principals have been attempting to get formal industrial representation of principals as far back as 1995. A Council made up of equal numbers of Principal class officers from each sector (Primary, Secondary and DHS) has met consistently (at least twice a term) since our application was first made.
We have consciously kept a low profile as our position as a group representing the Principal Class with the Department was at the good will of the Department. We have, however, been instrumental in introducing the employment of industrial officers who support principals and the introduction of extra meeting time out of hours for teaching staff in schools.
We were formally registered with the industrial relations commission in December 2014 and can now operate as per any other registered union.
All paid members have access to industrial advocacy to address:
- Salary and remuneration matters
- Complaints management
- Investigations and reviews
- Legal support and industrial advocacy
- Matters of performance
PFWA Rules:
Effective 18 May 2017

World news story
Science Museum Group makes historic acquisition of Soyuz spacecraft used by Tim Peake
The Soyuz spacecraft used by Tim Peake in his Principia mission is to go on display in the UK following its acquisition by the Science Museum Group (SMG).
SMG Director Ian Blatchford signed the landmark acquisition document for Soyuz TMA-19M in the presence of RSC Energia, the craft's manufacturer and ROSCOSMOS, the Russian Space Agency, marking the 50th anniversary of the first ever unmanned Soyuz flight.
The spacecraft used by the UK's first ESA astronaut in his historic mission to the International Space Station (ISS) is set to inspire future generations of space scientists as it becomes the first flown human spacecraft acquired by SMG for the UK's national space technology collection.
Speaking one year after being awarded the coveted Pushkin Medal by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Science Museum Group Director Ian Blatchford said:
Russian ingenuity led to the birth of the space age and today it still plays a critical role, notably in long duration missions to pave the way for the next great leap into the cosmos. It is a great honour to be here to officially acquire the first flown human spacecraft in the Science Museum Group collection, one which allowed Tim Peake to make his historic journey to the International Space Station which we plan to share with the public to help inspire future generations.'
The display of this historic object, which carried Peake and his crewmates Yuri Malenchenko and Tim Kopra in Expedition 46/47 to and from the ISS, will build on the success of the Science Museum's recent Cosmonauts: Birth of the Space Age exhibition which was visited by 140,000 people in Britain, becoming the Museum's most successful exhibition ever. The exhibition was officially opened by the first woman in space, Valentina Tereshkova with the legendary Alexei Leonov and Helen Sharman taking part in events connected to the exhibition. Cosmonauts subsequently opened at VDNKh in Moscow in June this year where it runs until January 2017.
Vladimir Soltnsev, General Director of RSC Energia, commented:
We are very honoured that a flown descent vehicle produced by our corporation will take its rightful place in the collection of one of the most important science and technology museum groups in the world. I would like to hope that this special symbol of Russia will become one of the highlights of the Science Museum Group collection, attracting many new visitors.
To mark Peake's mission to the ISS on 15 December 2015, the Science Museum welcomed 11,000 visitors to a celebratory day of events, including a live broadcast of BBC's Stargazing Live which was watched by 3.8 million viewers.
Further details about the display of the Soyuz TMA-19M will be released in due course.

George MacDonald Fraser passed away on Wednesday, Jan. 2. He is best known for his Flashman books but he gets mention here for his 1983 book, Pyrates. Like all of Fraser's books, this one was very well researched. Unlike the others, it was also a complete farce. The book followed several pirates, all based on historic ones but with their traits exaggerated. For example, where Blackbeard fastened burning slow match to his beard (or wore it under his hat), Fraser's version was Firebeard who attached firecrackers to his beard and set them off during battle.
Fraser also wrote the screen play for the 1970s version of the Three Musketeers and Four Musketeers - the best and most accurate versions of the novel.

It's Not About Baseball
About 30 years ago Davey and his dad walked into Candlestick Park for the first time. They had just moved up to the Bay Area, and they were there to take in a San Francisco Giants game.
Will Clark, Robby Thompson, and Matt Williams were all on the field, and Davey was hooked.
About 30 years before that, my father-in-law, Scott, had walked into a stadium with his father to see the New York Giants play.
Willie Mays was on the field, and Scott was hooked.
Two nights ago, Davey and I walked into AT&T Park with all four of our children. We were there to see the three-time World Champion San Francisco Giants play.
Buster Posey, Hunter Pence, and Brandon Crawford were on the field, and although the kidlets were already hooked, they now love it even more.
As we sat there and ate garlic fries, yelled along with the bleacher chants, and danced to Steve Perry, I couldn't help but think about the history of this team and our family.
Davey and I went to games together before we had kids. We went when I was pregnant, and when J was an infant in a backpack. When the older boys were 5 and 8, they collected cans and did odd jobs to earn money to go to a game and buy souvenirs.
Not too long after that we moved away from the West Coast. Although we caught the Giants on the road a few times, we had not been back to AT&T Park.
Until now.
The kidlets had once again done special chores to earn money for souvenirs, and we made sure to enjoy every moment of the night.
The Giants didn't win. But that's okay. Because that night wasn't about baseball.
It was about family. And connections. And history and tradition.
It was about dancing and yelling and cheering.
And it was about being together, sharing something we love.
Go Giants!
See you soon.

With information from The New York Times
OTTAWA — Research in Motion, the beleaguered maker of the BlackBerry smartphone, reported Thursday that its net loss for the latest quarter was $235 million, compared with net income of $329 million in the same quarter a year earlier.
The company said revenue in its fiscal second quarter, which ended Sept. 1, was $2.9 billion, down 31 percent from $4.2 billion a year ago, but up from $2.8 billion in the first quarter.
The net loss narrowed from the first quarter's $518 million.
"Make no mistake about it, we understand that we have much more work to do," the chief executive, Thorsten Heins, said in a statement. "But we are making the organizational changes to drive improvements across the company."
The company's stock jumped 15 percent in after-hours trading. The earnings were released after the market closed.
"The street is largely giving RIM a pass on this quarter as it readies the important BlackBerry 10 launch," said Bill Kreher, an analyst at Edward Jones. "The fact of the matter is that the company has really placed on its bets on BlackBerry 10."
Many analysts had expected nothing but bad financial news for the quarter long before Thursday. And several of them said they were now focused on next year, when RIM has promised to launch its twice-delayed line of BlackBerry 10 phones. The new smartphones will be based on an entirely new, and more sophisticated, operating system.
"I don't think anything good can come out until they release BB 10, aside from selling the company or something else in the strategic review," said Peter Misek, an analyst with Jefferies & Company.
But Shaw Wu, an analyst at Sterne Agee, said the dominance of Apple and Androidhas closed the window of opportunity for RIM's BlackBerry 10 strategy and turned the company's last great hope into its biggest problem.
"It's about survival now, it's not about BlackBerry 10," said Mr. Wu, who is based in San Francisco. "That's almost secondary. The battle now is staying alive and looking after your current customers. It's not really clear that their core customers are looking for BlackBerry 10."
At a developers conference earlier this week, Mr. Heins, RIM's chief executive, announced one of the few positive results from the quarter. Some analysts had speculated that growth in RIM's subscriber base had stalled, or even declined, for the first time in its history. But Mr. Heins told the meeting in San Jose, Calif., that the number of BlackBerry users had grown to 80 million, up from 78 million.
Unlike other smartphone makers, RIM continues to directly profit from every active BlackBerry handset long after its sale. RIM receives monthly subscription fees from carriers for every BlackBerry in exchange for routing the phone's data through its own, closed network. Under normal conditions, the network allows RIM to provide high security for corporate and government users and it reduces the amount of wireless data consumed by all BlackBerrys.
RIM is not in immediate danger of bankruptcy. The company reported on Thursday that it still holds $2.3 billion billion in cash, an increase of $100 million from with the previous quarter. But Mr. Wu said that costs associated with layoffs at the company as well as its unprofitability are now leading some users, including large corporate customers, to question RIM's long-term survival. Unless BlackBerry 10 is an exceptional hit, which is far from certain, Mr. Wu said that RIM may be able to continue for only one or two more years.
But there were no signs of retreat from Mr. Heins. Like his predecessors, Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis, he was boldly predicting that BlackBerry 10 will again allow RIM to stand alongside Apple, Google and makers of Android phones as a dominant player that defines the smartphone business.
"BlackBerry 10 introduces a shift to true mobile computing," Mr. Heins told a RIM-sponsored gathering of software developers on Tuesday. "We are laying the groundwork for a fundamental change in how people communicate, collaborate and engage with each other."
While physical keyboards remain a significant attraction for many BlackBerry users — a stylized variation of their keys forms the BlackBerry logo — Mr. Wu said he was surprised that RIM continues to emphasize the virtual, touch-screen keyboard on the prototype versions of its upcoming phones. Only after their absence during the prototype's unveiling in May was widely noted did Mr. Heins confirm that BlackBerry 10s with physical keyboards will be coming. No prototype of those phones has been displayed and Mr. Heins again devoted a great deal of Tuesday's session to promoting features on the upcoming virtual keyboard.
"It's not clear to me that fighting the touch-screen battle is the best use of RIM's resources," Mr. Wu said. "There are customers that actually like the current BlackBerry the way it is. They should be focused on trying to retain that customer base as much as they can. Then, sure, you can work on your BlackBerry 10 or whatever."

Breaking News Emails
Egypt will make every effort to keep tourists safe, President Abdel Fattah Sisi pledged Wednesday as he visited Sharm el-Sheikh in the wake of the suspected bombing of a plane packed with vacationers.
The country will also be transparent with the results of investigations into the cause of the October 31 crash, which killed all 224 people on board a Russian Metrojet plane, he said.
His visit to the Red Sea resort city came after the head of the region's travel agents' association said the fallout from the crash could slash tourism income in Sharm al-Sheikh by half.
Suspicions that the plane was brought down by a bomb prompted Russia, the United Kingdom and several other European countries to halt travel to and from the city.
Sisi checked out security at the airport – where it is feared an explosive device may have been placed on the Airbus A321 – and met with tourists.
"We will announce the results of the investigation with complete transparency and clarity," he told local state television. "We will not hide anything because these are human lives, innocent citizens who came to visit Egypt. We are extremely cautious to ensure that anyone who visits our country will be safe and will travel to and from the country in peace."
He added: "Egypt is safe and secure, and I welcome citizens to come Egypt, and they will leave safely as well. We will exert every effort to protect them."
Egypt's tourism minister Hisham Zaazou said Egypt stands to lose USD $20 million in November from Britain and Russia's decision to suspend flights.
According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, tourism directly accounts for around six percent of Egypt's economy and supports more than 1.3 million jobs. Sharm al-Sheikh accounts for about 70 percent of visits by Britons, a major tourism market for Egypt.
On Tuesday, Guevara el-Gafy, chairman of the South Sinai Travel Agents Association, said: "Losing 40 percent of our clients will lead to losing around 50 percent of the tourism income in Sharm al-Sheikh and South Sinai."
He told Reuters: "The problem is that the plane crash occurred at the beginning of the season... Sharm al-Sheikh and South Sinai are winter destinations."

iPad toilet paper holder
$49.99 Pedestal stand with roll holder for iPad
Well, World, this is what we've come to. I hope you're proud.
This iPad toilet paper roll stand is being sold by GameStop so I guess the idea is that you don't have to pause for a "bio break" when you are playing "BioShock."
OOOHH good one, Rebecca!
This is something that I bet we will be seeing in hotels soon.
First it was the Bose alarm clock that you can plug your iphone into, and now it's the toilet stand you can plug your ipad into.
Maybe you can even order room service to the bathroom from it.
When you think about it, why move....ever?
If you are too lazy to hold your ipad on your lap in the bathroom, you're welcome for showing you this crucial advance in technology.

So guys this weeks a sneak peek into the beautiful things that my vanity homes.
I've been recently inspired by Lily Pebbles Youtube video that I seen around 2 weeks ago, it really inspired me to stop buying (trying to resist since my student loan came in) and go through makeup that I've already got and fall in love with it all over again. So I've got two for face, eyes and lips. Strangely each two are from the same brand, which is kinda of obvious for me yet reader may find it weird. But we all have the brands we love and stick to.
So first we have two of my all time favourite MAC products...Mineralise Skin Finish in Medium Plus an no this isn't my face powder this is my contour colour *I assume some shocked faces*. Now this can be used as a face powder but I've got one a few shades darker than my natural skin tone. This is something I advise for all my pale sisters out there that need the Kimmy K contour. Using a face powder means that it's going to look super natural and it avoids orange tones. For everyday use it's my go to but for a night out I prefer something a little heavier. But since finding it in my draw I've fell in love and I feel like I've discovered contouring all over again. Now I'm sure your all looking at that beautiful golden blush (looks a lot coral on the photograph sorry guys) and wondering which God placed that on earth, again it's MAC. There Mineralise Blush in Warm Soul really does warm my soul when I apply it. It is so beautiful on the cheeks that it grabs all attention and I can happily title it as "whats on your cheeks" blush. Enough said I'm happy I've re-found you and don't worry you were never replaced!
Now these to babies have always been cherished by me, however I kind of put them away after purchasing the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette. But for my everyday makeup to uni I had to crack them back out! We have 238 (LEFT) and 240 (RIGHT) eyeshadows by Kiko. These shadows are so multipurpose they can be used for transition shades, a duo for a subtle smoke and blending with much brighter colours! I used these guys so much and I can't really believe I put them away! I like to use 238 as my transition shade if I'm doing a cool tone eye and 240 to deepen my crease.
Finally my two Topshop lipsticks, the only two I own. Topshop lipsticks are amazing and remind me very much of MAC lipsticks but half the price! These two colours really helped me flow into the different seasons last year. The top left is Beatnik which is basically a 'your lips but better' the perfect Autumn shade if your a little too scared of a super berry lip. Then bottom left we have Devotion I bought this at the end of Winter so I didn't get as much use out of it as I wanted to, but don't worry I will this year. Now this again is a great shade if your too scared of a super dark lip. Devotion paired with the too cool toned Kiko shadows I think will be my super quick and easy fall makeup.
Thanks for reading...see you next Friday!

A fresh look and taste at Aura Restaurant - Nita Lake Lodge
Aura Restaurant, in Whistler's Nita Lake Lodge, has a new look. The fresh spin on Canadiana style at the beautiful lakeside dining room had me smiling as soon as I walked in. By the time I tasted a few dishes from Aura's new menu I was smitten.
You'll smile, too, when greeted by an artistic display of multi-coloured deer mounts in mid-gallop. Look closely—they're dressed in cable-knit woollens. A smattering of organic-design chairs and globe pendant lights are finished in bold red. It's equal parts fun, comfort and casual elegance.
"In our redesign we wanted to pay tribute to the lodge's Canadian heritage and stunning alpine surroundings," says Theresa Ginter, General Manager at Nita Lake Lodge. The new space does just that with wide-plank flooring, solid-wood beaming and nature-inspired décor. "It invites our guests to enjoy spectacular views over Nita Lake while experiencing the buzz from the new open-concept kitchen and savouring a delicious meal."
Speaking of delicious, I had no idea that a humble butternut squash soup could taste so good. My main, a tender free-range chicken breast, was drizzled with a Madeira sauce to die for, and my partner's AAA Angus strip loin with hand-cut fries was pure comfort.
The menu reflects the philosophy of new executive chef James Olberg. "Our food is approachable. We stick with simple, clean flavours and presentation, and ethically source produce from local free-range farms and sustainable fishing operations," says the chef.
The culinary team is whipping up seasonal starters like burrata cheese with honey-glazed beets and delectable mains like braised short ribs and BC salmon fillet. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options also feature prominently on the menu.
Aura Restaurant is open daily for breakfast and dinner as well as Sunday brunch. For information and reservations, visit

We at Illuminate believe in one true and living God, Jesus Christ. Through searching the scripture this revelation can be given unto anyone! Here are a few scriptures that explain the Godhead of Christ. To further understand this principle we would be happy to engage in a one-on-one Bible Study with you! If you are interested please click on the link at the bottom of the page.
There is One God
Deuteronomy 6:4-Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord
- This scripture states that there is only one God. Although some may argue that this was in the Old Testament, the scripture goes on to say in Ephesians 4:4-6 within the New Testament...
Ephesians 4:4-6- There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5One Lord, one faith, one baptism,6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
- Paul was the author of the book of Ephesians and this scripture proves that Paul himself, although his wording is often hard to understand in his other epistles, was a believer in the Oneness doctrine.
The Name of God:
Matthew 28:19-Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
- This verse is one that is most often interpreted differently from my beliefs. Trinitarian doctrines baptize in all three names, plural, although the scripture states to baptize in the name, singular. It would be as if you said baptize in the name of the father of John Doe Jr, the son of John Doe Sr, and the Husband of Mrs. Doe.
- Part of this verse is repeated in Acts 2:38-Then Peter said unto them repent, and be baptized every one of them in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Matthew was there at the time that Peter said this to the crowd and did not correct Peter that it was three separate names. Luke was also the author of this book so this shows that the disciples believed to baptize in Jesus name.
John 5:43-I come in my father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name him ye will receive.
- Jesus here state's that he has come in his father's name. The name in which he came was Jesus- Matthew 1:21-...and thou shalt call his name JESUS.
John 14:26-But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
- Jesus also said that the Holy Ghost shall be sent forth in his name. Therefore if the father's name is Jesus, the son's name is Jesus, and the Holy Ghost's name is Jesus, there is but one God, Jesus.
John 1:1-In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14- And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
- The "Word made flesh" was Christ Jesus himself, so verse 14 is saying that Jesus was the word. Then, when you go back to verse 1 if Jesus is the word than he must also be God from the beginning.
Other Scriptures:
Collisions 2:9-For in Him (Jesus) dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily
James 2:19-Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe and tremble.
- Even the devils believe in one God
John 14:6-11-Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.8 Phillip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father and it sufficeth us.9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Phillip? He that hath seen the Father: and how sayest thou then, show us the Father? 10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
- In this lengthy passage between Jesus and the disciples, Jesus tells his disciples that he is the Father. If you know Jesus, then you know the father. If you have seen Jesus, then you have seen the Father.
- Jesus emphasizes that he and his Father are one being not to be separated.
Revelation 4:2-And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
- When John the Revelator had a vision and went to heaven after Jesus had already risen up, he did not see 3 separate thrones in heaven, but only one throne and one who sat upon it.
Isaiah 44:6-Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, I am the last; and beside me there is no God
- The Bible never contradicts itself so for it to say in Isaiah that beside God there is no God, then say in the New Testament that there are two other divine beings beside God is simply not the case.
Isaiah 43:10-Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, and neither shall there be after me.
- God states that there shall be no God formed after him, so the idea that God formed another God, in Jesus, and sent him down to Earth is flawed because there shall never be another God formed.
Isaiah 9:6-For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Deuteronomy 32:39-See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me
1 Chronicles 17:20-O Lord, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee
Psalms 86:10-For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone
1 Timothy 3:16-And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
- God himself was manifest in the flesh as Jesus Christ and revealed in this way to humanity. Paul also wrote this letter.
Matthew 1:23-Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Mark 12:29-And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is Hear O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
- If Jesus is part of 3 Gods why would he tell the scribe that there is only one God?
Revelation 1:8-I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
- First off Jesus says he is Alpha and Omega, which contradicts Trinitarian doctrine that believes Jesus was first formed at the time of his birth. Second he says that he is the Almighty. Webster's definition of Almighty is: Having absolute power over all. If Jesus has all of the power, than how can the Father or the Holy Ghost have any power? This is again expressed in Matthew 28:19 when Jesus says All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Through these scriptures and more we believe there to be one God through Christ Jesus. As previously stated, we would love to connect with you through one-on-one Bible Studies. If you have any specific questions we would love to answer those as well! Simply contact Illuminate through firstname.lastname@example.com.

Last night I finished reading Dispatches from the Front by Tim Keesee, and it was incredible.
On the Lifeway blog, writer Gloria Furman recommends Dispatches from the Front as one of the top 5 books moms should read. When I saw that, it struck me that, of all the books out there, she suggests that mothers make it a priority to read a travelogue, so---especially since I so enjoy the DVD series---I put this book on the top of my reading list and had no problem blazing through it. Tim Keesee writes poetically, accessibly, and most importantly worshipfully, so every page was a joy.
Dispatches from the Front follows Tim Keesee's journeys over what I'm assuming is a span of several years as he checks in with various Christians around the globe. I have heard about and totally idealized believers and workers in far-off lands, but this book really helped me see what things are actually like over there. He gives insightful glimpses into cultures and histories about which I previously had no clue. It was incredible to read about what Christians are like in Russia, India, China, Ethiopia, and Afghanistan. The Church is so different in all those places, but in the most important ways the Church is also the same and shepherded by the same glorious Jesus who shepherds us here. Believers in almost every chapter are being persecuted on some level and all have endured much hardship, but through reading these stories I learned that that's just the Christian life! Jesus told us that in this world we will have troubles, but we can take heart because He has overcome the world.
I saw Christ's overcoming of the world in this book. I saw powerful men working tremendous evil, but story after story it became so plain that Christ and His church are more powerful. I was reminded often of John 18:36, when Jesus answered to Pilate, "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world." Church buildings are being destroyed, lives are being ruthlessly taken, but the Christians are doing something far more revolutionary than fighting back: they are trusting their sovereign Lord and bringing the gospel to their oppressors…and the Holy Spirit's power is prevailing against the strongest guns and most brutal threats.
As I say all this I realize that I tend to romanticize God's work overseas, and I'm certain my husband has been thinking "Oh great, this book is the last thing Hope needs to read," since he has to listen to my whining about living in rotten ol' America when we could surely have a more fulfilling life serving God elsewhere. But actually, reading about God's grace and power in hard places all over the world has given me contentment and mobilized me for where I am. For one thing, I saw that many Christians overseas are seeing the Lord's mighty power to save, but most of their lives are even more mundane than mine, and they're just doing hard work, being faithful, and loving Jesus. Secondly, I noticed over and over again that these Christians pray a lot. Maybe I'm not seeing God radically save my friends and family because I'm not really asking Him.
My favorite DVD in the series and possibly my favorite chapter in this book is the one that follows the life and daily work of David Hosaflook, who has been faithfully serving in Albania for many years. He has made disciples who have made disciples who are making disciples, which is extremely awe-inducing to see, but his formula for planting churches is totally simple: pray, meet people, tell them about Jesus. And on the DVD and in the book you see prayer happening all the time. God loves to answer prayer and show His might through our dependency on Him. I am blown away by His power, greatness, and love, and I am stirred more than ever to pray, meet people, tell them about Jesus, and see the Holy Spirit do works that no human striving could ever accomplish!
I can't recommend this book (or the DVD series) enough! I definitely plan on reading it again next year and there's a hefty chance I'll make it an annual priority.
God is mighty to save!

Summer is finally here! And everyone is very happy about this! Summer means holiday, no school, no worries... it's great!
But this also means i get bored pretty easily, there's a lot of free time so it is inevitable that you'll get bored sometimes so I've come up with 25 things you can do when this happens!
- Go to the swimming pool, In summer it is very hot, and that is something I really despise about this season! So to deal with this i spend a lot of time swimming and hanging by the pool. You can have a pool party with your friends too, which would be really fun!
- Walk around the city, go shopping, have a look around and get some ice cream. Isn't it lovely to just walk around with an ice cream? There's something about it that i really love!
- Sunbathe, as i said before i like spending time in the pool but we all know what happens when you spend too much time in it, yeah, we get wrinkly hands! So i also like to just lay in the sun and tan. There's something about looking bronzed that i love, it's probably the fact that i am very pale all year round so this is a little change i really enjoy!
- Watch the sunset, if you know me you know how much I love sunsets. Every sunset is different and unique, they're just gorgeous! I think it is a great idea to look for a nice place where you can sit and enjoy watching the sun set! It's a really lovely activity to do with your friends or family, you can take pictures of each other, the lighting is so beautiful when the sun is setting!
- Make smoothies, these are one of my favourite things to have in summer, they are so tasty and refreshing! There's so many different recipes you can try, with different fruits and flavours!
- Make a den, ever since i saw Zoe do this in her video it reminded me how much i loved to do this when i was younger, I used to make them all the time and hung out there with my sisters! It is a really fun activity, you can make it as big as you want, decorate it, bring food inside and watch a movie in it! It's so cute and something i do recommend doing as it is very fun!
- Paint your nails, I never wear very colourful clothes, and although that doesn't really change in summer, there's something that i do like to change quite often and that's my nail polish. Painting my nails is something enjoy doing, i find it very relaxing! So i like trying different nail polishes, brighter ones that i wouldn't wear when it's colder outside!
- Read books, there's no better time than summer to get invested in a book. You've got a ton of time to read and enjoy your book. I love reading, how you can get so into a book that you forget about everything that is going on outside of it, such a great feeling! One of my favourite ones is Hush Hush, what's your favourite book?
- Go on a roadtrip, I love roadtrips, they're so fun! love watching the landscape and singing and listening to my favourite songs. I honestly just enjoy being in the car and doing this just for the sake of doing it even if i'm not going anywhere aha
- Make lemonade, Lemonade screams summer to me, it's a really cold and refreshing drink. You could sell the lemonade you make in your garden but i'd rather just drink it all myself, it's so good!
- Write a letter, We don't send or receive letter as often ( or at all ) anymore, which is really sad as i really love receiving letters! They're a lot more personal than a text, it's nice. In summer you go on holidays, you do tons of activities so i think it is a great idea to send your friend a letter telling them, what you've done during summer, I'm sure they'll love it!
- Finish a DIY project, DIYs are so fun to do, you get a new necklace or whatever you decide to make, for really inexpensive and it is very entertaining as well!
- Go stargazing, stars are beautiful, i think it would be very fun to go outside with your friends, lay down and watch the different stars and constellations, just enjoy the calm and the beautiful view.
- Host a barbecue, bring all your friends, have fun in the swimming pool and make delicious food! It is a very fun thing to do when you hang out with your friends!
- Try different outfits, I love doing this. When i'm bored i like to go through my wardrobe, pick a few items and then i try to make a couple different outfits with those pieces, i enjoy doing it and it also helps me find new outfits that i'd never thought about wearing before! This also helps me save time in the morning as i already have a few outfits picked!
- Make smores, personally i'm not the biggest fan of them, i don't really like the taste but i think sitting around the fire with your friends, telling stories and singing songs would be very fun!
- Go to a concert, I love concerts so much, they are so much fun, singing as loud as you can to your favourite songs with your friends, there's nothing better!
- Have a movie night, this is always a great idea, i love having a chilled night, make popcorn and watch my favourite movies.
- Have a water fight, it is so hot so hot that i like to do anything to stop it. This is such a fun to do, fill up water balloons and throw them at your friends!
- Make a scrapbook, In summer we make tons of new memories, and take tons of pictures, so i think it is a good idea to have a place where you can place them all and look back at them, to remember all the great things that happened. You can have fun making this scrapbook as you can decorate it however you like and write down your memories and thoughts, is a really lovely thing to do.

My whole experience with Ava's flowers has been horrible. Even the invoice of the flowers ordered is incorrect.
The flowers arrived 2 days late to the address in Anaheim, this was even after e-mailing and calling them from the UK to see what was going on. They lied and said the florist had poor flowers and couldn't deliver on time. They tried to get me to keep the order and assured me it would be there in the early morning and would be like the boquet ordered. I clarified that no Lillies were to be included (recipient allergic), the original boquet that had been ordered had no lillies at all.
The subsequent boquet that was delivered in the end, not containing anything like the orginal and left at the door was filled with massive lillies and looked worse for wear, being delivered from San Diego.
The discrepencies in what you receive with them are a laughable--if you hadn't paid joke--and not even remotely in any way close (or of a normal substitute). Avoid Ava's flowers at all costs!

I hear you. I ordered two dozen roses for a good friend who was sent home with hospice to die.
she had never received two dozen roses at one time and i thought she deserved it-so ordered them for her. only 19 came and those didnt even fit in the "special" vase they advised me to order in order to fit two dozen. They said it would come local and did not.. ups truck brought them and she had to call for help to get them unpackaged and to try and fit them in the vase.
after two months of complaining, they refunded me $15.00 on a 75.00 order.. big woop!
i wanted her to have two dozen roses for the first and prob last time in her life... the refund did nothing for her

For most of the population, nights are spent asleep, dreaming, re-energising (or claiming back fuel) for the following day. No, not mine. Mine can vary dramatically but as a general rule, two wake up calls disturb precious slumber and I stir the following day, by the soft padding of my three year old, in a relatively dull, clouded disposition.
Coffee is good, but spoilt as I am by the Brighton hipster shops, I now feel totally unable to make a respectable version at home, so am left with lemon water. This is somewhat of a tradition now; my switch of caffeine for early citrus and the tone for my day is set. It takes minutes, seconds. Just boil the kettle, add a slice or two of lemon to your cup and pour over water. (I actually did just tell you how to make this?!)
Have I mentioned lemons have power? Combined with warm water (not too hot and not too cold) to assimilate to the temperature of your body is best and very detoxifying. Lemon water is a natural diuretic and this effect will help to flush out the nasties as well keeping your body and skin hydrated. And, if you sip 10-15 minutes before you eat, it will also help to kick start enzyme production in your gut and aid digestion come breakfast time. Who needs to diet?
Another good fact - when ingested, lemons are actually alkaline which can really help to balance your pH levels, making your body more alkaline, which is how it functions best.
Ok, one last fact… lemons are also high in vitamin C, with each lemon giving you about half your required daily intake and a great boost to your immune system and cold-fighting abilities.
Because it's so very simple, one can make it in a sluggish state though if you're feeling awake/creative try adding spices like ginger, turmeric, cayenne and cinnamon or honey to sweeten. If even juicing the lemon seems like too much effort (really?) you could ready them in batches at the start of the week and freeze in ice cubes so all you have to do is add a lemon cube to warm water.
Surely beginning with a healthy intention is a positive first step? It's probably the simplest, best value option to starting each day, the right way. Go on, try.

Hats have come in and out of vogue over the years in the eyes of fashion analysts and trend trackers, but for Michael Albert, the man behind Smart Alec Hatters in Fitzroy, headwear will always be in style. It's a non-negotiable aesthetic element that can pick even the daggiest of outfits up a notch.
And this is exactly what Albert tries to prove to anyone who graces his shop.
Smart Alec has been running for ten years strong, but it's sister store, Scally & Trombone, was conceived twenty years prior. Between the two shops, all of your hat needs can be met, including those you didn't even know you had yet.
Albert's specialty is far removed from fitted caps with "MOTIVATION" scrawled across the brim or snapbacks stolen from some grandfather's closet. His passion lies in proper "gentlemen's" hats- from finely crafted bowlers, berets and top hats to straw fedoras and flat caps in just about every print and colour imaginable.
Smart Alec also offers gloves, cufflinks and scarves to complete the look, and tchotchkes to play with while you browse. I don't think they sell canes, but feel this would be a fine addition to their collection.
But of course, the main thing that keeps customers coming back is the hat selection, complemented by Albert's advice on finding that perfect fit. He prioritizes a soft sales approach in hopes of maintaining trust and goodwill between himself and his customers.
"Sometimes it takes two to three visits to find that sweet hat", Albert told me when I stopped into the shop for a chat.
He shared stories of regular customers paying him a visit, only to be sent away because he knew the right hat for them wasn't available. But then again, there were other times when he would sit a customer down with five different options, convinced that any one of them would be appropriate for their needs.
"Sometimes it takes two to three visits to find that sweet hat"
Despite the classification as a men's store, Albert's clientele is not limited only to males. The customers at Smart Alec cross a wide range of backgrounds, in gender and in age, ethnically and economically.
Interestingly enough, they don't all start off as "hat people" either, although Albert claims that's where a lot of the fun lies. As much as he loves when customers know exactly what they're after, he also enjoys the challenge of turning a skeptic into a full-blown hat-fanatic.
And if there's anything to convince you that hats are a good look, it's the sight of Albert himself, decked out in a different hat on any given day, plus a grade-A ensemble to complete the look.
When I stopped in to see him, he was in all black, complete with a button-down vest, horn-rimmed spectacles, lace-up vans and, of course, a newsboy cap to top it all off.
It just so happens the hat was tweed, Albert's fabric of choice. He admits to having an obsession with the material, even going as far as to "tweed-bomb" the pole out the front of his shop. The tweed around the pole has held strong for three years thus far- a testament to the knit's sturdiness as well as Albert's craftsmanship.
Although Smart Alec describes their inventory as "unique vintage imports" of the cranial variety, they do offer bespoke wear as well. Albert is the man in charge of these custom caps, which he crafts right in the back room of his shop.
Many designs start off for his own use, but end up in some other lucky customer's hands when they convince Albert to let them take it home. At the end of the day, though, he is there to sell hats, and he's happy when a good design receives the appreciation it deserves.
Over his ten-plus years of business, Albert has sold to the rich and the famous. He's had both local and international celebrities visit the store; he's had customers who wouldn't bat an eye on spending a few hundred per hat.
But he aims to treat each customer like the next, regardless of background, which is why he has such rapport in the Fitzroy community. He believes the "average" folk who make up the local community are the bread and butter of his business.
Although I am still a bit scared to don an outrageous hat (when I'm not smoking a cigar and sipping rum on the screened-in porch of a tropical bungalow), Albert's charisma was just about enough to turn me.
There are plenty of appropriate times to wear a Smart Alec cap, including: while attending a fancy dinner party, going to the theatre, playing a game of outdoor chess (notwithstanding any crazy Melbourne weather), or doing your Sunday-morning shopping.
In any occasion, Smart Alec has got you covered.
And who knows – it may just take you a visit or two to be donning hats with every outfit and wondering why you didn't do so a long time ago.
To witness Albert's millinery finesse for yourself, pop into Smart Alec (235 Gertrude Street) on any day of the week, where it's almost guaranteed the man will be there, charming and styling customers from late morning til eve.
*And for a whole range of femme wear, don't forget to head to Scally & Trombone, located right next-door.

This article provides information and advice to birdwatchers and searchers looking for the Ivory-billed Woodpecker.
Where should we start to search for Ivory-billed Woodpeckers in Florida, given that the state has more than 1,700 streams and rivers with a combined length of about 10,600 miles?
Image B
Within these areas, the two primary habitat types that should be explored are cypress-tupelo swamp and bottomland hardwood forest. Cypress-tupelo swamps (Image A) are forests that are flooded for prolonged periods and composed mostly of cypress (Taxodium spp.) and tupelo (Nyssa spp.). These swamps are often found in oxbows, or land between extreme bends of a stream, and sloughs, or marshy, muddy areas, of the larger rivers.
Bottomland hardwood forests (Image B) are composed mostly of a diverse mixture of hardwood trees. This mixture of tree species varies with topography, but some of the species found in the wetter areas are water hickory, green ash, and overcup oak. These forests, found along larger rivers, are flooded annually, but for a shorter period than the cypress-tupelo community.
It is understandable that many people would like to see an Ivory-billed Woodpecker. An Auburn University search team provides advice to birdwatchers regarding where and how to look for the creature in the Choctawhatchee River basin. This information is available at Auburn University Web site-Advice for Birders.
Currently, opportunities to assist organized search efforts for Ivory-billed Woodpeckers in Florida are limited. For more information about potential volunteer opportunities in Florida, visit the Auburn University Web site-Support the Search.
The Ivory-billed Woodpecker is listed by the State of Florida as an endangered species (F.A.C. 68A-27.003). Thus, unless a permit is obtained from the FWC, it is a violation of state law (second degree misdemeanor) for any person to take (kill, harm, molest/disturb), possess, transport, or sell any endangered species or parts thereof or its homes (including trees and nests). Recreational activities that result in disruption of Ivory-billed Woodpecker nesting activity are considered a "take" of this species, and as a result are prohibited without a permit. Therefore, while we encourage interested birders to be vigilant in their observations of Ivory-billed Woodpeckers, all reasonable efforts must be made to avoid disrupting this species while searching for the Ivory-billed Woodpecker.
In addition, nearly all native bird species, including the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, are protected from take, possession, import, export, transport, selling, purchase, barter, or offering for sale, purchase or barter by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. §§ 703-712).
Please be aware that the woodlands near the rivers in which Ivory-billed Woodpeckers may still occur are frequented by venomous snakes, most notably cottonmouths (also known as water moccasins), pygmy rattlesnakes, and occasionally coral snakes, diamondback rattlesnakes, and copperheads. Therefore, while searching for Ivory-billed Woodpeckers, please be aware at all times of where you are stepping or placing your hands. Protective clothing such as hiking boots and snake chaps are highly recommended to avoid bites on the ankles.
Please determine the location of, and emergency phone number to, the nearest hospital before searching. In the event of a venomous snakebite, proceed directly to the nearest hospital. Do not try to kill the snake, as this may increase your chances of being bitten by the snake again. It is also illegal to kill a snake on state-owned lands. Please learn to identify these snakes. Color photos of venomous snakes in Florida, and further recommendations on avoiding venomous snakebites, may be found at http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/herpetology/fl-guide/Venomsnk.htm.

Ignore the slightly odd video for the We are Scientists Track "After Hours". Focus on the music instead.
Day 5 of my 30 days of music requires me to pick a song that reminds me of someone.
This song reminds me of Lorna Parsons. (Again I remind you to ignore the odd video with the dog. The video is new to me today and I feel a bit weird connecting that video to my friend Lorna who is awesome)
The song is in my head under the heading "Friday Night Music" (which is where The Real Tuesday Weld's Last Words fits too) which must make Lorna a Friday Night Person because every time I hear the song she pops into my head.
(What follows here is an utterly unreliable history of how I know Lorna treat it with caution as it may be entirely fabricated by my brain)
My first connection with Lorna was through twitter. I was aware of the #lornaisawesome hashtag floating around and I think I asked who was behind it/who was being celebrated. Then I think I found out that this Awesome Lorna was @editorialgirl's sister. @editorialgirl= funny/awesome therefore sibling just has to be equally funny/awesome. Followed @lornaparsons = lots of win.
I think that's how it happened. Can't be sure. That's a nice version if it's true.
Here's my list of true facts about Lorna.
Lorna Fact One: She's awesome.
Lorna Fact Two: She's married.
Lorna Fact Three: She works in an architect's practice and for MADE.
Lorna Fact Four: She's EditorialGirl's Sister.
Lorna Fact Five: She likes Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist.
(And I think those five facts are enough)
Since then Lorna is an absolutely essential part of my twitter feed on all things architectural and general ephemera. We both share a love of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (which is where I first collided with WAS LO).
Chatting to Lorna on the phone recently she said that I bring out her "giggly side". That makes me really proud.
Lorna is awesome.

United States District Court, D. Idaho
December 15, 2016
JERRY W. CAMPBELL, Plaintiff,v.KEITH YORDY; SGT. BLAIR; CORIZON, INC.; SGT. RAMIREZ; IDAHO DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS; and KEVIN KEMPF, Defendants.
J. Lodge United States District Judge
Jerry W. Campbell is a prisoner currently in the custody of
the Idaho Department of Correction ("IDOC").
United States Magistrate Judge Candy W. Dale previously
reviewed Plaintiff's Amended Complaint pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 1915A and allowed him to proceed on the
following claims: (1) Eighth Amendment claims against
Defendants Yordy, Blair, and Kempf for failing to protect
Plaintiff from attack and for housing Plaintiff in unsanitary
conditions of confinement; and (2) Eighth Amendment claims
against Corizon-the private entity providing medical care to
inmates under contract with the IDOC-for understaffing in the
medical annex and for housing Plaintiff in (or failing to
transfer Plaintiff from) the medical annex despite unsanitary
conditions. (Dkt. 10 at 4-5.) Plaintiff was not allowed to
proceed on any other claims at that time.
case was later reassigned to the undersigned judge. Now
pending before the Court is Defendant Corizon's Motion
for Summary Judgment, which the IDOC Defendants have joined
and which is now ripe for adjudication. (Dkt. 22, 24).
Several other motions are also pending.
fully reviewed the record, the Court finds that the facts and
legal arguments are adequately presented in the briefs and
record and that oral argument is unnecessary. See D.
Idaho Loc. Civ. R. 7.1. Accordingly, the Court enters the
following Order granting Defendants' Motion and
dismissing this case without prejudice for failure to exhaust
available administrative remedies.
In its
order reviewing Plaintiff's Amended Complaint, the Court
previously determined that Plaintiff failed to state a
plausible due process claim based on his disciplinary hearing
and his placement in administrative segregation. (Dkt. 10 at
5.) In doing so, the Court erroneously stated that Plaintiff
had failed to allege the amount of time he spent in
administrative segregation. The Court had mistakenly
overlooked the fact that the Amended Complaint had alleged
that Plaintiff was placed in administrative segregation for
10 days. (See Dkt. 9 at ECF p.13.) Therefore, the
Court will grant Plaintiff's Motion to Review Pages of
the Amended Complaint and will reconsider Plaintiff's due
process claim under the screening standards set forth in 28
Fourteenth Amendment right to procedural due process
prohibits the government from depriving an individual of a
liberty or property interest without following adequate
procedures. Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539, 558-66
(1974). A prisoner possesses a liberty interest in avoiding a
change in confinement-such as a transfer to restrictive
housing-only if that change imposes an "atypical and
significant hardship . . . in relation to the ordinary
incidents of prison life." Sandin v. Conner,
515 U.S. 472, 484 (1995). The length of time an inmate spends
in restrictive housing is one factor in this analysis, along
with whether the segregation was essentially the same as
other forms of segregation, whether the change in confinement
constituted a major disruption in the inmate's
environment, and whether the length of the inmate's
sentence was affected. Id. at 486-87.
all of the Sandin factors together, the Court
concludes that the Amended Complaint does not plausibly
suggest that Plaintiff had a liberty interest protected by
the Due Process Clause. The small amount of time that
Plaintiff was confined in administration segregation-a mere
ten days-weighs heavily against finding a liberty interest,
and the length of Plaintiff's sentence was not affected.
These factors are not outweighed by the other Sandin
the Court reaffirms Judge Dale's conclusion that
Plaintiff has not stated a colorable due process claim based
on his disciplinary proceedings and his placement in
administrative segregation for ten days. The Court agrees
that the only plausible claims stated in the Amended
Complaint are Plaintiff's Eighth Amendment
failure-to-protect and sanitation claims against Defendants
Yordy, Blair, and Kempf, and Plaintiff's Eighth Amendment
understaffing and sanitation claims against Corizon.
IDOC Defendants have filed a Motion to Strike Plaintiff's
Sur-reply to Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment.
(Dkt. 35.) Defendants are correct that the sur-reply was not
authorized. However, because Plaintiff is proceeding pro se,
the Court will exercise its discretion to consider the
sur-reply, along with all filings in this case. The Motion to
Strike will be denied.
Factual Background
section includes facts that are undisputed and material to
the resolution of the issues in this case. Where material
facts are in dispute, the Court has included Plaintiff's
version of the facts.
has established a grievance process, which is attached as
Exhibit A-1 to the Affidavit of Jill Whittington, IDOC's
Grievance Coordinator ("Whittington Aff.") (Dkt.
22-4). This grievance process consists of three stages.
First, any inmate with a concern is required to seek an
informal resolution by filling out an offender concern form
"addressed to the most appropriate staff member."
(Whittington Aff., Dkt. 22-3, ¶ 5.) If the issue cannot
be resolved informally through the concern form, the inmate
must then file a grievance form. (Id.) A grievance
must be submitted within 30 days of the incident giving rise
to the grievance.
submitting a grievance form, the inmate must attach a copy of
the concern form, showing the inmate's attempt to settle
the issue informally; the grievance must also "contain
'specific information including [the] nature of the
complaint, dates, places, and names.'"
(Id. ¶ 6.) When the Grievance Coordinator
receives a grievance, the coordinator enters the grievance
information into the Corrections Integrated System
("CIS"), "an electronic database used to
track inmate grievances." (Id.)
grievance coordinator then assigns the inmate grievance
"to the staff member most capable of responding to and,
if appropriate, resolving the issue." (Id.)
That staff member responds to the grievance and returns it to
the coordinator. The coordinator then forwards the grievance
to a "reviewing authority." In the case of a
medical grievance, the reviewing authority is the
"facility Health Services Administrator."
(Id.) In other cases, the reviewing authority is
generally a deputy warden. The reviewing authority reviews
the staff member's response to the grievance and issues a
decision on the inmate's grievance. The grievance
decision is then returned to the inmate. (Id. at
¶ 7.)
If the
inmate is not satisfied with the decision on a grievance, the
inmate may appeal that decision. (Id. ¶ 8.) If
the grievance involves a medical issue, the "appellate
authority" is the Health Services Director.
(Id.) In other cases, the appellate authority is the
warden of the prison. The appellate authority decides the
grievance appeal and the appeal form is returned to the
inmate. Not until the completion of all three of these
steps-concern form, grievance form, and grievance appeal-is
the grievance process exhausted. (Id. at ¶ 9.)
submitted only one grievance to prison authorities in the
last eight years. That grievance was submitted in May 2008
and was assigned Grievance No. IC 080000282. This grievance
requested a transfer of funds to Plaintiff's

CHARLOTTE – Carolyn Szempruch is organizing a 5K to raise money and awareness for a rare disease as part of her Girl Scout Gold Award project.
The Marvin Ridge High School sophomore created the run, called Race4Rett, to benefit Rett syndrome – a neurological disorder found primarily in females. It impairs hand usage, speech and daily life such as being able to eat, bathe or use the restroom independently. Estimates suggest Rett syndrome occurs in one out of every 10,000 to 15,000 girls born and affects 1 in 10,000 to 22,000 females in the U.S.
Carolyn's aunt Carrie, who lives in Ohio, has struggled with Rett her entire life.
"She can't talk with us. She can understand us, she hears us, but she can only make noises, not words," Carolyn said. "She physically gets older, but it's like she's permanently a child. My grandparents have to bathe her and she wears diapers, but she's lucky because she can walk and most girls with Rett can't walk."
The run begins at 8 a.m. April 21 at Kids R Kids Academy at Blakeney. The second mile will be run in silence as a way to relate to kids with Rett syndrome, since most are non-verbal.
Registration costs $35 and will increase to $40 on race day. Those who want to give to the cause but not participate in the run can sign up to be "spirit runners" for $25.
Proceeds will be used to cover the cost of the event and purchase iPads with an app called Proloquo2Go to help children with Rett communicate with their parents and caregivers. Carolyn is hoping to buy as many as 10 iPads.
She said the project hasn't been easy, but it's taught her the importance of determination and perseverance. In the end, she knows all the hard work will be worth it.
"I'll be able to see the impact on my aunt, and other parents will be able to talk to their kids, so it just makes you feel really good inside," she said. "Once my aunt gets one of the iPads and I'm able to talk to her, probably just 'How are you doing?' is going to be the first question I ask."
Want to participate?
The race starts at 8 a.m. April 21 at Kids R Kids Academy at Blakeney, 6250 Blakeney Drive, Charlotte. Visit www.race4rett.racesonline.com to register to run, donate to the cause, sign up to volunteer or become a business sponsor.

First we demanded we get the LRT for free and now we're demanding to be put on the hook for upwards of a million $$$ per year. Kind of scary how not-shocked I am...
Thanks Matt Green!
Thanks NDP!

The form of response of body protein accretion to dietary amino acid supply.

The mean response of body protein accretion in growing animals to their amino acid intake is sometimes described by a rectilinear ("broken-line") model and sometimes by a curvilinear model. The response of a population may be curvilinear as a result of averaging individual rectilinear responses or because individual responses are themselves curvilinear. This experiment was undertaken to distinguish these possibilities by examining the responses of individual animals. Eighteen pigs with a mean initial weight of 35 kg and a mean final weight of 73 kg were each fed, in a different sequence, six diets providing a daily nitrogen intake of 0.5, 1.5, 1.83, 2.17, 2.5 or 3.5 g/kg body wt0.75. Each diet was given for 10 d, with complete collections of feces over the last 6 d and of urine over the last 4 d. Rates of nitrogen retention (expressed per kg0.75 per day) were related to rates of nitrogen intake (in the same units) using a rectilinear (broken line), an exponential or a saturation kinetics model. Mean square errors were significantly larger for the rectilinear model than for either of the curvilinear models and were slightly but not significantly less for the saturation kinetics model than for the exponential model.

Typically, most growing organizations reach a philosophical inflection point where they decide how hands-on they would like to be with formal performance management processes. One question that always comes up is: Should multiple levels of management review employee appraisals or other formal feedback, and should there be a formal process? If so, how can good technology help facilitate your process so that HR can be successful?Read More »

As a city with critical waste management problems and a burgeoning informal sector, Nairobi possesses both the need and potential for an innovative approach to its waste problems. In its intervention, Muyog has put in place a weekly garbage collection project and continue to organize routine communal cleanup activities with a view of addressing environmental challenges within Marurui and beyond.
Strategic objective: Galvanize youth and public to actively and collectively engage in environmental conservation practices.
How garbage collection is conducted:
Stage 1: Collection Bags: We purchase and distributed garbage bags to our customers on monthly basis. The number of garbage bags to be issued to any customer is informed by the quantity of waste generate. We use polythene bags and sacks for collection.
Stage 2: Collection of garbage from households: We collect garbage once per week (every Saturday starting from 8:00am – 2:00pm). The garbage is normally picked at the customer's gate by MUYOG and placed in strategic points along the road (also known as transitory points) ready for collection.
Stage 3: Collection of Garbage from transitory points: At around 5:00pm to 7:00pm, a garbage truck for hire arrives in Marurui and drives round the community collecting garbage from identified strategic points and transports the waste to a designated dumpsite in Dandora. The dumpsite is located about 16 Km from Marurui.
Stage 4: Collection of garbage service money: On 30th day of every month, an SMS is circulated to all the customers reminding them to pay garbage collection fee between 1st to 5th day of the month. The garbage fee varies and like garbage bags, it is informed by the amount of waste generated by a particular household.

- US Traders
- 70+ Assets
- 1 Day Payouts
- Mobile Friendly
- Low Deposit
IQ Option was founded in 2013 and has become a universally recognised platform specialising in binary options trading. Their user-friendly platform is proprietary, placing them as the front-runner of all brokers. Although relatively new, it's obvious to see that they are already at the top of their game, with their impressive yet simplistic website and on-the-go mobile app.
Accommodating 13 different languages, they continue to push themselves to stand out within the online trading market. If you are new to the scene, there is no need to panic, they're here to not only guide you through the site, but also educate each user so that they have all the relevant information in order to help them make an informed decision about each trade.
Currently IQ Option offer their traders the highest trading payout amongst the leading binary options firms. While there are an array of special trading features that place them at the top of their game, how do you know if this broker is for you? Do they offer all the benefits of trading that will make your experience the best it can be? We dig deeper into what makes them one of the front runners in online trading.
Why might you choose this broker? In our IQ Option review, you will discover:
- What makes them stand out from other binary options brokers in a crowded market
- The different types of accounts they have available and the benefits of each
- How to trade on the go and the unique customer service that they deliver
Account Types
Demo Account
The IQ Option demo account allows investors to trial the binary trading world, practicing with $1000 money for free. Of course with this option comes limitations such as only having 13 trading assets available. There are other trading restrictions that apply, but this is a free demo account and it definitely educates and helps build the confidence of all new beginners. Benefits include no deposit, no telephone details and no credit information.
Real Account
Aimed at those who have built up their confidence and knowledge through the Demo Account, the Real Account opens up a plethora of different options to users. To start with there are more than 70 trading assets available and you will have full access to all trading opportunities. Deposits are as low as $10, and traders are able to compete with other like-minded trading enthusiasts in virtual competitions. Withdrawals are fast, and are normally processed in 1 business day.
VIP Account
VIP members are the royalty among traders. They have all the benefits that are given to Real Account holders such as 77 trading assets but there are many more invaluable features that also come with being a VIP. All VIP members have a personal manager assigned to them. Access to withdrawals is under 24 hours, allowing you access to your money faster than other account holders.
Trade Types And Payouts
It is common knowledge among binary brokers that one of IQ Option main strengths are their payouts to users, with most traded assets seeing a profitable trade out of around 84%. Of course, this is never a guarantee, as payouts depend on expiry times and the asset that has been selected.
The trading platform is very intuitive, and you can begin trading as soon as you log onto the site and navigate your way to the trading page. Once you get there all you have to do is select the type of trade option you would prefer, the asset you want to trade and then finally, the amount you would like to trade. They have purposefully designed the website in such a way that it is nearly impossible for users to get confused. As it stands, there is two types of trading on offer. The classic binary option which is call/put and then the turbo option.
Call/Put Options
This classic option is where users have to decide whether they expect the price of an asset to be higher or lower than the current level by the expiry time. They have expiry times in excess of 15 minutes.
Turbo Options
This is completely different to the latter. Turbo Options have their expiry time ranging from 30 seconds up to 5 minutes. This is an option usually preferred by the more experienced trader.
Latest Winners
Bonuses And Promotions
There isn't a broad range of bonuses available to account holders at this broker. Due to new regulation for EU Based CySEC licensed brokers they are no longer allowed to offer bonus incentives to new traders. As a result all bonuses previously offered by CySEC EU brokers have been stopped.
There are plenty of promotional videos to be found on-line and IQ Option invites its users to watch free educational demos by real life traders, allowing you to gain tips and gather experience from the professionals. Once you build up your confidence with trading you can also enter competitions and compete with fellow traders for guaranteed prizes.
Mobile Trading
The mobile app is currently #1 in 28 countries according to the App Store Ranking (Feb 2016) available from both the Apple app store but also the Google Play store too. Available on iOS (iPhone and iPad) and also Android. One of the key reasons for its success is the impressive yet simplistic features that it provides for users, making trading possible anywhere you can get an internet connection. Although this is an app, don't have any fears of missing out on key information that you would otherwise see on a desktop.
The app covers all the necessary details, laying it out in a mobile-friendly manner so that no mistakes can be made with the press of an incorrect button. Trading on the go is rapidly becoming more and more popular. IQ Option is available on both Android and iOS devices and can be downloaded through the aforementioned app stores or alternatively through the provider's website.
The mobile app features mirror those of the web-based platform and are acknowledged for their simplicity and high functionality. No corners have been cut in the quality of graphics and the overall impression of the app reflects the quality of IQ Option's overall standards.
Deposits And Withdrawals
When it comes to their extensive deposit and withdrawal options, they really do set themselves apart from all other brokers. You can make a deposit or withdrawal using all major debit and credit cards as well as having the option of wiring the money across. IQ Option prides itself on its high level security, making each transaction as stress free as possible for the user. The site follows strict financial regulations making sure it is always abiding by the European banking safety rules.
Withdrawals are simple, and can be done both on the desktop and mobile app. It usually takes around 1 business day to process the withdrawal of funds unless you are a VIP member where it will take less than 24 hours. If you ever find yourself having deposit or withdrawal problems you can call the customer service team 24/7 who will help you out in an extremely efficient and friendly manner.
Special Features
One of the key benefits to trading on here is the ability to choose if you want your charts to be displayed as either a line chart or a candlestick chart. Traders are also able to condense the information displayed on the charts so that they are able to get a better overview of how the market is currently looking.
All these many benefits to trading establish IQ Option as one of the market leaders in binary options, Forex and crypo trading. In addition to the account types, mobile trading experience and bonuses, we take a look at the other features that make this broker a good choice for so many:
- IQ Option offer other forms of trading including Forex, CFD and Cryptocurrency

There are two main methods of contacting this broker. You can either contact them by phone, they are available 24/7 or else send them an email. They also use all leading social media platforms such as, Twitter, Facebook YouTube and Instagram to promote their website and offer users tasty tips on topics like risk management and how not to make a mistake on your first trade. Via twitter they are consistently answering customer queries quickly and offering help.
Although IQ Option has free demos and educational videos via their website they also have a YouTube account were they are constantly uploading videos to help users and show beginners how easy it is to trade. With all the different options of contact available to customers it is easy to see why this company stand out from other binary brokers.

To conclude, IQ Option is currently the top binary options trading platform in the market as far as we are concerned. Their trading conditions are highly legit placing them firmly in the lead among all other binary brokers. All research and tests lead us to believe they are not a scam and value their customers. This is further echoed by licensing and regulation from CySEC, one of the industry leading regulatory bodies. They are highly visible with several methods of contact as well as a strong social media presence.
Equally impressive is their payout and rebate ratios, again unbeatable among their fellow competitors. If that wasn't impressive enough then their low minimum deposit requirement and minimum trade amount, a known complaint with other brokers should surely seal the trading deal.
With a technically advanced trading platform and an excellent mobile trading offering along with an extensive range of assets they are committed to providing their customers with a high level of customer service and support when they need. All of these factors mean that when it comes to binary options brokers, they certainly gets our vote.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is IQ Option legit, will they scam me?
Every broker that we recommend is legitimate. We review them all to ensure that they are regulated and licensed and that they operate within the terms of their licensing. Not only do we research these companies but we ourselves use their services to test the various aspects of the service that they offer. When you choose a broker that is recommended by us you can be reassured that they are following the rules of their licence.
Do they have a decent mobile or tablet app?
This is an important factor for many traders who prefer to trade on the go, they do offer a mobile app both on the App Store and on Google Play Store so there is something for both iOS and Android. Their app is in fact rated as the top performing binary options app in 28 countries (according to the App Store Ranking Feb 2016) and mirrors the features of their desktop site making sure that the trader enjoys the best that trading has to offer.
What bonus do they offer for new traders?
With a minimum deposit of just $10 and $1 minimum trade together with 77 assets available to trade means IQ Option isn't doing too bad. Sadly, they no longer offer bonuses. No deposit, match or welcome bonuses no longer exist and they don't try and entertain new customers with lots of fancy incentives. This is largely due to CySEC EU regulation which states no bonus incentives can be offered to new investors.
Can I start trading on a free demo account?
The demo account is one of the preferred demo accounts as it requires no deposit. In fact you don't need to enter your credit card details to register and use a demo account. Simply log on and start using it absolutely free. This is a great way for traders to begin their trading experience and get used to trading with virtual money at no risk to their own funds. This try before you buy means you can get used the platforms before you deposit any money.
What's the minimum deposit and trade amount?
The minimum deposit to open a trading account and start trading is just $10. This again sets them apart from many other binary options brokers and is another of their strengths. With a minimum trade of $1 the real beginners can get their first taste using a demo account and then gently move into real trading without spending large amounts of money.

Literature Live back: Shashi Tharoor to attend
Organisers looking for volunteers to help out, entry to remain free for all events this year too.books Updated: Aug 13, 2011 13:38 IST
Throw a stone in Mumbai, and it'll probably hit a film festival. But the city's avid readers are grossly under-represented, which is probably why Literature Live, arguably the city's first lit fest, was well received last year. From a dramatised reading of The Kite Runner to a cello performance, the three-day event had author sessions in the mornings and a headlining performance in the evenings.
This year, literary heavyweights like Shashi Tharoor (The Great Indian Novel), Amitav Ghosh (The Glass Palace), Ramchandra Guha (India After Gandhi), Suketu Mehta (Maximum City) and William Dalrymple (White Mughals) are on the roster for the November event.
As part of the performances, a Pune-based group will present a dramatised telling of Vijay Tendulkar's newspaper columns. "Since the fest is held in Mumbai, we need to have a connection with Marathi. But being an international fest, it will only be a small part. There will also be readings in Hindi," says columnist Anil Dharker, who will reprise his role as anchor.
A line-up of events and interactions with popular authors is also planned. Patrick French, author of India A Portrait: An Intimate Biography Of 1.2 Billion People, was recently in the city to discuss his book. He will be followed by Aatish Taseer, writer and son of slain Pakistani politician Salman Taseer, who will headline an event on August 22, sharing his tome, Stranger to History: A Son's Journey Through Islamic Lands. All the events are free, as Dharker says, "Any entry fee becomes a deterrent, even if it is small. This way people can make up their minds to go at the last minute."
He also makes an appeal for volunteers to join them, saying, "As the festival draws nearer, we need more hands, especially from people who are passionate and have time. We need suggestions for more authors to feature, and those who can help spread the word about colleges and other institutions."
