Welcome back to the site! I wish you all a happy holiday season and hope you are enjoying time with family, friends, and loved ones. I have taken a serious break from blogging for very legitimate and unpredictable reasons and have had to start, stop and restart content numerous times over the last year and a half. Life has a funny way of disrupting your routine all at once but I will always thankful for the lessons and growth opportunities I collected along my time away.
Though I did not post on my website, I was able to continue to share my creative spin to cooking, fashion and lifestyle moments via my personal and blog social media accounts. I hope you were able to follow along and I truly appreciate the people who went as far as contacting me to know when they will see new content on the site this year. Your personal support, no matter how big or small, was very touching. I want to let you all know that I have never wanted to give up a chance to share my voice and my passion for healthy food and lifestyle motivation. It still brings me so much joy to know that this archive of recipes, fitness posts and fashion inspiration has motivated readers to begin their own healthy journeys or businesses. We have all learned and grown in different ways with the simple concept of cherishing our health and well-being, and sharing the knowledge we acquire with others.
Now that I am back, I will do my best to document my progress and pitfalls towards a healthy lifestyle as I have done over the years. I will also use this opportunity to collect feedback to expand the the site with specific content for you to achieve your own healthy lifestyles. I was not quite ready to relaunch but there is nothing like the excitement of starting a fresh new year to fuel my determination to keep up with my website. My Healthy Fashion's motto has always been "investing in your health is the best trend," and I hope 2018 is the year many of you join me in that investment!
Thank you and hope you enjoy what's to come!

Whether it's via Netflix, Uber, Amazon, or your inbox, you've encountered AI.
The sales profession is in the midst of a major shift and functions that were once the domain of sales professionals are on track to be transformed, absorbed, or some think, even completely obliterated.
In the world of sales, the predictive power of new algorithms is changing the way sales organizations function as companies eagerly invest in AI applications with the potential to enhance sales functions and aid in the development of more efficient sales processes.
What do Lars, Misha, Damian, and Topher think about the incoming AI revolution??
[Topher] Hey Siri, am I going to be automated?
[Siri] Yes, Topher. In 5 years, sales professionals like you will no longer be needed.
[Topher] What's coming next with AI? How do regular people prepare ourselves?
[Damian] Specific to AI. The way to prepare is... Don't worry about it. We're in a space now where people hear AI, and they think Terminator and they think thinking machine. None of that is happening. Okay? There isn't going to be the perfect sales robot that shows up and you know. When you hear AI, just think prediction or forecasting engine.
[Misha] Automation is coming, but I don't think it's going to completely close the topic on sales folks. We're far away from that. It will help us automate certain functions within the sales role. How we use that automation will determine our success rate. So, all this personalization, automation is only valuable to a point. You still need the human determination of value versus cost here.
[Topher] Is there any upcoming or currently disruptive sales technologies around?
[Lars] There's a lot of people today talking about, I believe they refer to it as conversational intelligence, but there is absolutely an artificial intelligence component. By recording sales conversations with all the voice and recording technologies, they're able to tease out insights in how to make sales reps better. So, from a coaching and mentorship standpoint, it's allowing Front Line Sales Managers and SDRs and ISRs and Account Executives to learn from the conversations they're having with live prospects, with live customers.
[Damian] The thing about AI is it reduces the time, difficulty, expense of forecasts. We're going to see a lot of products coming down the pike like that and a lot of them will have some very interesting applications. A lot of them will be overblown. One of the things to pay attention to if it freaks you out is - it's just one more guess of what the future is going to look like, but it's not a thinking machine and it's not going to replace you any time soon.

The Celtic tradition is based on the practices of the pre-Christian Celtic world. This includes many parts of West England, Ireland, Isle-of-Man, Wales, Scotland, and Gaul accross the channel.
There is also significant Druid practice used and mixed in with this particualr tradition. It also seems to share a lot with the Teutonic tradition, including the frequent use of runes.
This tradition is extremely earth and nature based and much stronger in various religious aspects of the Craft, similar to Druidry. Many aspects of Christianity were actually drawn from the Celtic pagans, such as Cerridwen's cauldron translating into the Holy Grail, and the goddess Brigit becoming Saint Bride and of course the Goddess Ostara and Her day of Ostre being taken over by the Chrstians and being called Easter, (complete with eggs and bunnies.
The Celtic Church, which formed, and primarily rolled over from the ancient Druids to Christianity in 400 or 500AD, to avoid the wicked persecution and thus enabling them to maintain their religion, albeit camouflaged behind the newer Christian doctrine. That is why so many of the pagan holidays were masked and covered over by the Christians in their campaign to stamp out all traces of paganism – but it didn't work.
Celtic Wicca (Church of Wicca)
The Church of Wicca was founded by Gavin and Yvonne Frost. They offer correspondence courses in their brand of Wicca, which is sometimes called Celtic Wicca. The Church of Wicca has just recently begun including a Goddess in their diety structure, and has been very patrofocal as Wiccan traditions go. The Chuch of Wicca terms itself the "Baptist Wicca"
Gavin and Yvonne Frost, founders A Scorpio. Born, reared and formally educated in Staffordshire, England, Gavin had already built a successful career as an executive in the aerospace industry when he and Yvonne launched the Church and School of Wicca in 1968.
Since then, the two of them have become the world's most widely acclaimed Witches. More than 200,000 seekers have contacted them from every corner of the globe.
They have appeared on behalf of their beloved Craft on national television's Phil Donahue Show, PM Magazine, and Tom Snyder's Tomorrow Show, as well as hundreds of local television and radio shows, and in newspaper and magazine articles throughout the country.
Gavin is among the most thoroughly trained and tried practitioners of the Craft on Earth. He learned his early Craft lessons in England and Wales, then progressed through grueling tests which rid Wiccans of the fear of death if they can endure the mental and physical agony (that he did) in the cold, treacherous mountains of Bavaria.
To gain an even higher level of understanding, Gavin has worked extensively with Hindus, Haitians, Sikhs, Thais', Japanese, and Australian aborigines — all in their own homelands. He is one of the few western Witches to wear the old-fashioned initiation scar on his wrist, who is qualified to wear the Saffron Robe of the Zauberer in der Bayrischen Naehe, and Arch-Flamen of the Western Neighbourhood.
He and Yvonne have authored more than a dozen definitive books on the occult including the worldwide bestseller, 'The Magic Power of Witchcraft', that has been published world-wide in five languages.
Yvonne, an Ariesis, is one of the truly great healers, teachers, and practitioners of our time. Born in Los Angeles, Yvonne descends from two long lines of Witches reaching back many generations into the Cumberland Gap of Kentucky, and into the Clan Gunn of Scotland.
She has added much to the already long and illustrious history of those Craft lines with her own unique healing talents. She admits the principal reason for her involvement in the founding of the Church and School of Wicca was the opportunity to pass that knowledge along to others. Reports of healing success by thousands of students attest to just how effective Yvonne's teaching talents have been.
The normally outspoken Flamenca becomes suddenly shy and self-effacing when encouraged to discuss her success, admitting only that "I have made my life's mission the teaching of those who seek, and healing. I am fulfilled by teaching them to make their own lives and the lives of their loved ones more comfortable. That knowledge makes all those years of struggling and developing my Craft awareness well worth while."
Both Gavin and Yvonne have repeatedly proven their dedication to the Craft over the past three decades. They have often endured ridicule by the ignorant, and had bullets through their windows, in their utter commitment to bearing the Craft standard of truth around the world. For more information, go to Church of Wicca
Notes : The Frosts call their tradition of Wicca – Celtic. However, it seems more of a mixture of high magic and eclectic Wicca, with a smattering of Celtic notions thrown in. For instance, they use three circles, one within the others, made of salt, sulphur and herbs with runes and symbols between them instead of just one circle.
They also insist on a white-handled Athame and will not have a black handled one in the Circle, whereas all the other traditions usually and invariably use a black handled one. (This may go back to the Druidic belief of the sickle).
It seems the Wicca they practice and teach should not be truly called Celtic at all; since a lot of it is made up or put together by them from so many other traditions, and perhaps should give it a new name to reflect the newness and uniqueness of it, as it is definitely not ancient, with absolutely no heritage, by any stretch of the imagination.
The Frosts have always been rather more public than most traditions (advertising their course in the Enquirer and similar publications) which has earned them heavy criticism in less public Craft groups. Remembering that Wicca is supposed to be secretative in nature and not to actively recruit like that and certainly one of the true Laws of Wicca is NOT to make money out of Wicca by selling themselves or their arts. In continuation of that topic, it is however, felt that nowadays wares and artifacts can be sold, along with 'memberships' for distant learners to pay for expenses incurred, but NOT for Coven fees and NOT for selling spells. In other words, it might be misconstrued as profiteering too much, but then again is that true freedom, or is it breaking an inherent Wiccan Law?

Choeropsis liberiensis
In former times regarded as a cross of pig and hippopotamus, the species was soon considered extinct shortly after it was discovered. It was not until 1911, when the big game hunter Hans Schomburgk had managed to sight one of the animals in Liberia. Already in 1912, he had caught five individuals and brought them to Europe. His telegram to Carl Hagenbeck read: "Caught pygmy hippo, nice creature". Status according to Red List: endangered
Order even-toed ungulates, family hippopotamus
Swamp and water plants, grass, ferns, fruit, roots and tubers
Rain and swamp forests alongside streams, lakes or rivers
Mating takes place on land or in water; gestation time: about 200 days, one young that is normally born on land; weight at birth about 6 kg; maximum age: above 43 years

Mid-Michigan Equine Services, PLLC
Providing quality veterinary care to the Mid-Michigan horse community.
Dr. Laura with GA Aphrodite at her weanling futurity.
About Us
Mid-Michigan Equine Services was established in 2006 by Laura Pylman, DVM (formerly Chamberlain).
Laura Pylman, DVM
Dr. Pylman completed her undergraduate degree at Michigan State University with a bachelors in Animal Science –Equine Emphasis. She then attended MSU's College of Veterinary Medicine where she completed her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. While there she took a strong focus in Equine Lameness and Reproduction. After graduation Dr. Laura worked for Prairie Equine Veterinary Clinic (one of the greater Chicagoland's premier Equine Sports Medicine practices) in Barrington Hills, IL. During that time she also worked at Animal Medical Center of Crystal Lake, her mother's full service small animal clinic in Crystal Lake, IL. This unique combination of experiences allowed her to develop a broad range of surgical, diagnostic, and treatment skills that benefit all her patients -large and small.
Dr. Laura's horse interests cover a broad range of breeds and disciplines. As a youth she began riding Arabians in english and western pleasure events. Later she became involved in high school and college rodeo and began barrel racing and roping on Quarter Horses and Paints. Veterinary school placed a large time constraint on showing, so Dr. Laura began studying dressage and riding warmbloods in what little free time she had. After graduation, Dr. Laura purchased a racing Quarter Horse, Abrcadozen, that she ran on the track for 2 years. During that time she also began taking jumping lessons on her Trakehner mare, Mrs. Hyde, and competed in local hunter/jumper shows as well as a few USEA recognized events. Currently Dr. Laura has been showing her young Arab/Dutch Warmblood cross, GA Aphrodite (Affie), in halter, Sport Horse In Hand, and dressage classes, while continuing with her dressage and jumping lessons on Abra (now retired from the track), and learning the finer nuances of dressage from Mystique, her new Hannoverian schoolmaster. Anishnaabe (Levi) is a racing Arabian foal she co-owns that should be hitting the track in 2011, so her horse life truly has come full circle!
From her rodeo days

April 2, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
26th September 2014
Indian film company Eros International, responsible for Bollywood blockbusters, has launched a retail bond offering interest of 6.5% for seven years.
The bond will pay interest (a coupon) of 6.5% twice a year every April and October for seven years until October 2021. Investors will have to make an initial investment of £2,000 with further purchases being made in multiples of £100. The bonds will be listed on the London Stock Exchange Order book for Retail Bonds (ORB), meaning investors can buy and sell them on the secondary market.
Eros was founded in 1977 and co-produces, acquires and distributes Indian language films worldwide. It has a library of over 2,300 films and a music library and produces over 70 films a year that are released globally across television, theatres and digital channels.
Jyoti Deshpande, chief executive of Eros, said the launch of the retail bond will help the company to raise money from another source.
'We are delighted to announce the launch of Eros' debut retail bond in the UK,' he said. 'This bond provides exposure to a new sector for retail bond investors and will also enable Eros to diversify the sources and currency denominations of its funding.'

CHM to ePub Converter
CHM to ePub Converter Ever since I got my Kindle, I am using it more and more to do all kind of reading electronically. I use Calibre (@ calibre-ebook.com) as my one stop solution to eBook management. Recently I tried to convert CHM to eBook format, and found that it was rather difficult. Feature rich as it is, Calibre does not have a native CHM conversion function. One can extract the CHM file and feed it to Calibre, but I found it rather tidious and error prone. I also missed having a hierarchical Table of Contents, which are always present in CHM files. I just went ahead and created a converter for myself in C#. Here is the sample screenshot.

Every week there is a new faddy diet which captures the imagination of the masses as well as the celebrities. Currently it's all about the 5:2 diet although even food experts are locking horns over this controversial diet choice. Also known as The Fast Diet several leading celebrity chefs have shared their views with some describing it as exhilarating whilst others putting forward the need for exercise if you're looking to lose weight. The premise of this diet is simple, you can eat as much as you want over five days but then for two days you have to 'fast' which for men means limiting your calories to 600 and for women to 500. This is just one of many diets on the market which seem to capture the interest of the British people as well as notable celebrities but there are many reasons a natural diet is the best option.
Why Stay Natural?
You could jump on the 5:2 diet bandwagon or you could try something that will last a lifetime and guarantee results. Here are the reasons a natural, healthy diet is the best option for all.
When you keep things natural and normal you will soon find a diet is straightforward and not at all stressful. Fad diets require you to do things which aren't natural such as fasting or cutting out carbs altogether. These types of action are unhealthy and very hard to stick to in the long-term. A natural diet means you can eat all types of food, including carbs, in moderation.
No Side Effects
Fad diets will cause all manner of side effects and symptoms that aren't all enjoyable. Your toilet habits may change and digestive problems, even just in the short-term, can be painful and difficult to manage. Slow metabolism can also develop from some faddy diets which won't aid weight loss at all. Natural dieting has no side effects because it is exactly what it says it is – natural. You eat sensibly from all food groups.
Purse Friendly
Fad diets are not only usually ineffective but they can cost a bomb. Some require investment in specialist equipment (juicers etc.) whilst others require you to make all sorts of odd concoctions, therefore they're time intensive too. Natural dieting doesn't require any extra time or thought, just eat sensibly and exercise. Reduce your portion sizes and you'll be on your way.
Better Results
Fad diets give you results, there's no doubting that but much research has shown that rather than losing fat, it's pounds of muscle that have been dropping off your body. Losing muscle results in significant baggy and loose skin and this looks just as bad as if you're overweight. Unnaturally losing weight will always result in a return of some when you stop.
Instead consider a natural diet – you don't just lose weight you exercise and therefore look more toned. Your skin will also benefit as will your hair and you'll genuinely look healthier and better.
Permanent Results
Fad diets will result in weight loss but as their other nickname goes, you'll also put it back on. This yo-yo style dieting is dangerous for your long-term health and is no good for your self-esteem. These diets are designed for short-term use whilst a natural based diet with built-in exercise and sensible portion control results in long term results.
Following a natural diet plan shouldn't even feel like you're on a diet. You should be able to eat sensibly, enjoy fresh fruit and vegetables and steadily lose weight. A healthy, natural diet combined with regular exercise will make all the difference.
When the next fad diet comes around you can be safe in the knowledge you're losing weight and keeping healthy in a sensible and safe way.

There are several ways to solve problems that emerge in an organization, but the best ones all have one thing in common — they start by understanding the data. When you consider the best course of action for your solutions, starting from a place of knowledge can help you better understand the context and possible ramifications of your actions.
Even so, it seems that many times decisions are made in the heat of the moment, or in a small window of time that doesn't allow for deep contemplation of the issues. In these cases, it's important to have a way to understand information easily, quickly, and effectively. To guarantee you're always making the right decision, having a way to visualize your data is crucial. These are the best ways to ensure that data drives your future decisions and helps solve problems more efficiently.
Start with the right data
The first step to create a practical and relevant visualization is to find the right data to feed it. Organizations store data in a variety of sources and collect information from different streams. However, not all data is useful for everything. Understanding where your data is stored, what your channels are, and how to best collect and sort them is important in using powerful visualizations to solve problems.
To help find the right data, you can ask yourself some of the following questions:
- What is the source and is it accurate and updated?
- Is it useful to answer my question or solve my problem?
- What is the best combination of this data to answer my questions?
It's vital to know how your data warehouses and storage are set up to help you access it most effectively. More importantly, it will help confirm that the data you're using in your visualizations is always the most relevant data.
Clean it and simplify it
More than having the right data, visualizations thrive on having the best version of information. Most data sets rarely come in a ready-to-use format due to overlapping data points, redundancies, and irrelevant information. While it's common to have these "dirty" sets, it's still important to make sure the final result you're plugging into your dashboards is "clean"—free from anything that may impact your analysis.
Additionally, you should focus on making sure the data you're using for visualizations is displayed and stored in its simplest form. This doesn't mean you need to give up complex analysis and parsing, but your visualizations will benefit greatly from keeping things more focused on single items than multi-variate analyses.
Consider these best practices when cleaning and prepping your data for visualizations:
- Think about the questions being answered and consider whether the data you're using can offer insight.
- When in doubt, remember that keeping it simple and focusing on specifics can help create a more cohesive analysis.
- Consider whether the data needs to be manipulated or converted into a different format to be most effective.
- Remember that for data to have an impact regardless of the source, it should be standardized before being input into your visualization.
Choose the right visualization
With the right data from the correct streams, you can focus on providing the visuals that will inform your decisions. This step presents a big pitfall for many businesses looking to build dashboards as many will opt to fit their data into a visualization they want instead of finding the visualization that best fits the data.
In the former, this creates confusing and irrelevant visualizations that can make your problem-solving more complicated. Organizations that focus more on the form over the substance of their dashboards ("We should have a scatter plot because it looks great!") can end up with stunning visualizations that offer little value.
Instead, it's best to approach visualizations as an extension of your data analysis. The best visualizations are those that can simplify complex data, clearly communicate an idea, and express the data's meaning insightfully. Focusing on finding the right visualization for your data, and not the other way around is an important first step.
These are some of the best practices to keep in mind when choosing your visualization:
- Make sure the visualization displays the data in a way that makes it relevant to the question at hand, and not just a pretty addition.
- Your visualizations — and dashboards — should quickly and easily explain their data. Remember that your visualization should answer a question in five seconds or fewer.
- Focus on providing the most relevant information first and prioritize it by importance afterward.
The right visualization is a key component to solve your business problems. By better illustrating and demonstrating your data and insights, they help you make the best possible decision. Focus on creating the right visualizations, and the answers will flow more easily.

Toyota Camry is expected to get 'significant' attention from enthusiasts of new cars and other auto stakeholders in 2014 when a refreshed version of the vehicle is introduced.
Analysts say the Japanese auto manufacturing giant is likely to shrug off mounting competition from Ford, Chevrolet, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda and Nissan with the 2014 Camry.
A report by Allcars.2014 says the new Camry will bring many improvements and enhancements that will make the model more spacious and functional but retaining its modern and luxurious touch.
The Group Vice-President, Toyota US, Bill Fay, had told Bloomberg during last week's LA Auto Show, adding, "We'll be paying significant attention to Camry next year."
Fay was not willing to offer hints about what that "attention" would yield, but with a new Hyundai Sonata debuting in New York and increased production of the strong-selling Fusion both on the horizon.
The Camry is one of the crowd pullers in Nigeria, recording high sales, almost coming after its sibling, the Corolla.
"We can think of some things that would help the Camry – more luxury features and technology along with a more fashionable exterior, to name a few," the report stated.
The refreshed version of the Camry sedan will be coming about two years after it was fully redesigned," says another online auto reviewer, autoblog.
It quoted a Tuesday report from Bloomberg as saying Toyota's move to freshen the still young Camry comes as it seeks to retain its United States sales crown in the midsize segment.
The new Toyota Camry, according to Toyota, will keep its simplicity, but the novelty will be seen in the redesigned, highlighted headlights, fog lights, Firefox trim, lower-body design and firmly curved front door.
In addition to being more spacious than its predecessor, the 2014 Toyota Camry has been refreshed with new materials in the interior such as the doors, instrument panel, trim, armrest and the centre console.

The function of basal geogrids in minimizing rutting of geocell reinforced subgrades
Saride, Sireesh and Sitharam, T G and Puppala, A J (2011) The function of basal geogrids in minimizing rutting of geocell reinforced subgrades. In: Geo-Frontiers 2011: Advances in Geotechnical Engineering, 13-16, March 2011, Dallas, TX; United States.

Rutting is a common phenomenon encountered in flexible pavements supported by weak subgrades. Reinforcing the weak subgrades is one of the promising alternatives to alleviate the pavement surface rutting. This paper presents the results of laboratory model tests on a circular plate supported by geocell reinforced sand subgrades. A series of tests were carried out by varying the height of the geocell mattress with an additional layer of basal geogrid placed underneath the geocell mattress. The surface settlements (rutting) were measured through displacement gauges. Strain gauges were placed along the width of the basal geogrid to verify their performance as a base layer. A substantial reduction in surface rutting is observed in the case of geocell reinforced beds with basal geogrids. A seven fold improvement in bearing capacity was obtained with the provision of an additional geogrid layer over unreinforced subgrades. Overall, a basal geogrid layer provides higher structural support mobilized through membrane effect to the geocell reinforced pavement layers

SIU rugby competes for national title in Las Vegas
February 7, 2012
SIU sets itself apart from the other 32 teams entering the USA National 7s Rugby Tournament as the only Registered Student Organization in a pool of Division 2 schools.
"Every other team has the money to give out a partial or full scholarship," said rugby club president Daniel Lowery.
In the club's first bout of the tournament Thursday in Las Vegas, SIU will go head-to-head with the University of Utah, the defending Division 2 national champion.
There will be three days of round robin play at Las Vegas's Silver Bowl Sports Complex, with SIU going up against either Regis University of Colorado or Michigan's Davenport University Friday.
SIU rugby qualified for the national tournament last year with a first-place finish at the Midwest Collegiate Rugby Showcase in Wisconsin.
"We can't go to Nevada anticipating a loss," said Sam Pellegrino, senior rugby player. "We made it to playoffs last season for the first time in 15 years, we have a lot of returning seniors, and we're ready to get out there and compete."
Although Division 2 rugby teams consist of seven players, eight players less than Division 1 schools, Division 2 consists of some Ivy League schools.
"Teams like UCLA, Yale, Stanford and Brown all compete on the same stage with SIU," Lowery said. "We have just as good of a chance to walk away national champions as any of them do."
Ben Cybulsky, former club president, said the team's focus seems to be in the right place despite excitement for a trip to Las Vegas.
"We're going to this tournament to win," Cybulsky said. "After we do the absolute best we can all three days, we have the rest of the weekend to hang out in Vegas before coming back to southern Illinois for school on Monday."

August 2018 CALL TO ACTION - Part 2
CinC Sends
Our ability to make a difference in our nation is directly tied to our willingness to get involved.
The rapid rate of the daily news cycle and the frenetic pace that seems to dictate our daily lives requires that we must adjust our efforts to impact political decision-making.
In short - we must do more.
To that end, I'm adjusting our publication of the Call to Action based upon important issues as they come to our attention. What that means is we may publish more than one per month.
The format of our Call to Action will now include a specific date, and may include more than one topic of concern for you to respond to. Although I would hope that all of you would engage with each of the issues brought to your attention, I'm counting on all of you to respond to at least one issue - the one that most resonates with you as you read through the options.
Today, you'll find three items of interest that all have been negatively impacted because our governing officials have abdicated their responsibility to govern according to the Constitution. Each of these will have a link to follow, and in some cases, suggested wording for you to cut/paste in your email to elected officials.
Our time is growing short, the Leftists are growing more violent, and our Republic is in peril. The USFA's impact and influence are only as great as the number of our members who engage.
I'm pleading with you to do so.
Rest in Peace Mollie
Dear Frank,
ACT for America stands with the Tibbetts family in mourning the loss of their precious, 20-year-old daughter, Mollie Tibbetts. Mollie, who disappeared while jogging in Brooklyn, Iowa, had her entire life ahead of her.
A young student, with dreams of graduating from the University of Iowa, is now permanently separated from her family. Iowa police officials believe Christhian Rivera is responsible for the death of Mollie.
Christhian Rivera, is not a US citizen. In fact, he is a criminal illegal alien who had no business living within our borders. Mollie's tragic death is yet another direct result of failed immigration policies that Congress has purposely ignored to fix over the last several decades.
We are calling on Congress to finally, once-and-for-all secure our borders and enforce strict immigration policies that put the safety and security of American families first. Enough gridlock, enough partisan politics. This is a matter of life and death.
It's time for Congress to do the job they were elected to do. Click below to sign our petition demanding border security now. This petition will be hand delivered to members of Congressional Leadership.
This one is for Mollie Tibbetts, Kate Steinle, Kayla Cuevas, Nisa Mickens and every other innocent American who has suffered at the hands of a criminal illegal alien.
Your thoughts and prayers alone are not enough this time - we need your action. Please join us in this fight.
For Freedom,
ACT for America
ACT for America is the nation's largest national security grassroots organization with over 1 million members dedicated to keeping America safe and it's citizens secure from all threats foreign & domestic. Click here to support our efforts.
I'm writing to ask you to sign First Liberty's Petition to President Trump on behalf of a U.S. Army chaplain threatened by elements of the "deep state" for simply obeying his faith.
Last week, an Army investigator formally recommended a charge of "dereliction of duty" against Chaplain Scott Squires, with possible court martial and military prison.
Scott, a decorated soldier of 25 years—including multiple tours in Afghanistan, Africa, and the Middle East—is stationed at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina.
How did a hero like Scott Squires get in such hot water?
He politely declined to conduct a "Strong Bonds" marriage retreat that was to include a same-sex couple. Leading the retreat would have violated his religious beliefs on marriage and the beliefs of his "endorsing agency,"the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. In fact, Army regulations require chaplains to follow the rules of their endorsing agencies.
So Scott simply arranged for another chaplain (who had no conscience conflict) to do the retreat instead. That way, he followed military regulations and his endorsing agency's rules!
Problem solved, right? Wrong.
The Army hit Chaplain Squires with a full-blown investigation—last week recommending he be punished for dereliction of duty.
This is a serious charge. As I said, it could mean court martial and military prison.
Thankfully, Scott contacted First Liberty's Military Affairs Division. First Liberty is "first" in the defense of religious freedom in the U.S. Military. We have more than a 90 percent win rate in military legal battles due to our elite-level First Liberty Attorney Network and our experience in military law.
But Frank, something sinister is happening in this case. And that's why I'm asking for you to add your name to our Petition to President Trump.
You see, On May 4, 2017, President Trump signed an executive order which said, in part:
"All executive departments and agencies (agencies) shall, to the greatest extent practicable and to the extent permitted by law, respect and protect the freedom of persons and organizations to engage in religious and political speech."
These departments include the U.S. Military. Why, then, did the Army violate Chaplain Squires religious liberty—provoking this heated legal battle?
The answer largely lies with the "deep state."
The deep state includes government employees who simply oppose policies like the widespread exercise of religious freedom.
Many powerful "deep state" officials scattered throughout government agencies, such as the U.S. Military, don't want religious freedom to exist if government is anywhere nearby. And now they are defying the order of the commander in chief!
It's a showdown. Will an executive order that mandates religious freedom win? Or will a rogue faction opposed to religious freedom force its anti-freedom view on everyone else and get away with it?
That's why I'm asking you to donate now to help First Liberty's legal team as we defend Chaplain Squires. And when you donate, you can also add your name to First Liberty's Petition to President Trump, alerting him to the violation of Chaplain Squires' religious freedom (and other violations we are fighting in the military)...and requesting the President step in and enforce his religious liberty order.
Just think: If the government can force a chaplain—and ordained minister—to violate his or her faith, and even destroy their career for obeying their faith, then where will it stop? We need to put the brakes on this dangerous attack right away.

Target Still Hasn't Learned Its Lesson
Wednesday, August 22, 2018
Dear Frank,
As the nation prepares for the back-to-school season, Target still hasn't learned its lesson.
Earlier this summer, a voyeur was caught taking pictures of two sisters in a Detroit-area Target changing room. This frightening incident is not the first to happen at Target because of its dangerous and misguided restroom and fitting room policy—and it won't be the last.
What was Target thinking when it proudly announced to the world in April 2016 that it allows men to use women's restrooms and changing areas in its stores? Certainly not that voyeurs and predators are looking for places where they can victimize women and children, otherwise, the retailer would have never made such a perilous business decision.
Just days after that announcement, the American Family Association initiated #BoycottTarget, a movement that has brought together American families who have said "enough is enough." More than 1.5 million people have signed the boycott pledge, vowing not to shop at Target until the company reverses its politically correct but potentially dangerous policy. These families—and AFA's boycott—have had a significant effect on both Target's foot traffic and sales.
As millions are doing their back-to-school shopping, AFA continues to remind families that shopping at Target just isn't worth the risk. Even though Target continues to be unapologetic, the #BoycottTarget efforts are having impact. But beyond the financial implications for the company, this is an important cultural issue, and Target chose to make itself the example by issuing a proactive statement on its not only controversial but alienating policy.
AFA has made it clear since the boycott began that our worries do not stem from fear of the transgender community, but rather from the very real threat that predators and voyeurs, or anyone with evil intentions, would take advantage of the Target bathroom policy to harm women and children. And they have.
Besides the incident near Detroit this summer, there are other frightening examples of predators taking advantage of Target's policy. You can find some of those examples on our #BoycottTarget webpage at www.afa.net/Target.
Despite the dangers, Target has not budged on its policy, other than to state that family restrooms would be installed in stores not already equipped with them. That's not enough. Women's restrooms and fitting rooms still have an open door to potential predators, putting mothers, daughters, wives and children at risk.
This boycott will not end until all are safe in Target restrooms and changing areas. With enough pressure, I truly believe America's families can stop this insanity before more women and children become victims and are scarred with experiences they can never forget.
Here's the bottom line: Target is still presenting risk and danger to women and children. But since the start of the #BoycottTarget initiative, concerned families and shoppers are making an unprecedented impact on a corporation whose policy is to allow men to use women's restrooms and dressing rooms.
Target's actions are unacceptable for families, and this policy continues to put women and children in harm's way. We must keep the pressure on Target by avoiding stores during back-to-school shopping and educate Target to the fact that its bathroom policy earns a failing grade.
- If you haven't already, sign the #BoycottTarget pledge. Invite your family and friends to sign the pledge too.
- Forward this information to friends and family. Invite them to sign the boycott pledge at www.afa.net/target.
- Call Target headquarters at 612-304-6073 and personally let them know you are boycotting their stores.
If our mission resonates with you, please consider supporting our work financially with a tax-deductible donation. The easiest way to do that is through online giving. It is easy to use, and most of all, it is secure.Thank you,
Tim Wildmon, President

As per title
This is around 30% cheaper than in NZ at the moment
As per title
This is around 30% cheaper than in NZ at the moment
So if I click the link I get the US site which looks like a bad deal once you convert to NZD, and ship its about $315 .. if NZ customs get you for GST then its more like $360 .. and locally they are about $340
But if I manually search .co.uk its only ~$260 which is crazy impressive .. but only for Prime members
When I click on the link OP posted, it takes me to amazon.com, not uk and the price is US $220.00 inc shipping.
Almost worth it. If I actually need a new computer.

Well, another woman I thought had potential I have cut off, probably permanently.
We met during the summer. She lives in another state and we spent a couple weeks together while she was on vacation.
Then, a week and a half ago, she contacted me out of the blue to hang out. We spent the night together, this is 6 months after our first meeting, and finally had sex for the first time. And when we were first about to go there, she said she was a little scared and I also told her about my stage fright thing, caused by my ex, and then we just did it. (by the way, thats two for two since my ex I've told I had performance anxiety and it wasn't even a thing to them, they just worked with me anyway(I'm pretty sure my stage fright won't go away until I have stability in a relationship)) But after that, that's when she first started getting a little weird. Then, we spent another fun day together a few days later and had sex again and a couple days later, she hit me with we are just friends and can't be anymore than that, I live in another state sorta thing and her exact words at one point, "There is nothing between you and me" . I just wanted to enjoy the time we have together, ride or die, and told her as much, and we should've still had another two weeks together.
Now, when we had sex, I did conventional sex, not karezza/no ejaculation sex. I have been working on some things in the No More Mr Nice Guy book and he says in later chapters women arent attracted to men who just try overtly to please them in the bedroom and the focus should be more on yourself. So, in this light, I have tried overly to please the woman I'm with in the past and this time just did conventional sex and went with it, it felt right for my current level of development. Before, I always prided myself on being really good in bed, but even then, I was focusing on my performance and tieing it to my self esteem and it feels good to just let it be what it is and realize that a woman will keep coming back because she really wants to be with me and not because I'm a god in bed.
So, what happened was I got pretty angry and had an argument that to some women might I appear whiny or needy. I am an Aries sun, scorpio moon, or sidereal pisces, libra moon. It may have had to do with the conventional sex, I'm not sure.
Point is, I have acted desperate and needy before, but this time, I think it was really my scorpio/libra moon kicking in. Because I feel things deeply, I also know when other people feel something, and I was just really pissed off because "I know you've felt something, so just fucking admit it already." Who contacts someone after 6 months and then acts like they are reluctant but wanting and then tells them it was nothing.
Well, at least this time, I didn't let her mess w me like the last one. I'm not going to let someone belittle me and slowly whittle away at me again like my ex did. I told her she was a player(my definition of player is having sex without developing feelings whatsoever, because this is what makes people feel "played") and blocked her number and deleted her from social media.
I guess thats it. Something happened last time she was here, basically blew me off the last two days she was here when she said she wanted to spend time with me and we had concrete plans, so we went through this thing where I told her this wasn't cool and she apologized, so I already feel I was giving her a second chance, and even though part of me wants to, I really don't think I can justify any reason to give her a 3rd chance, but I know her well enough I can almost guarantee I will be hearing from her again. So I really have nothing to tell her?
So, here's to women who only want us when we're gone...
I think one of my problems in life is that, because I'm very nice to people, they think they can take advantage of my good nature...
then after a while, I make them realize they can't.

Next time....
tell her you want to try karezza. If "you can't be together" anyway, then you have nothing to lose.
Good on you for moving on with other women
It's hard when you have invested in a person, but often there's no solution but to move on.
You are blaming astrology signs for your mistakes, for getting angry, for acting needy or insecure. Don't. I'm not saying that you should blame yourself or any partner, either. Just let go of the blaming. You don't need to blame anyone. You are learning to deal with new situations. This is how you learn new things. By making mistakes. I know I feel very stupid for things I've done, trying to woo women. It's ok to feel unsatisfied or embarrassed. I try to see it for what it is and continue moving in the right direction.
Also, about the thought "I know you feel something, and I want you to admit it" you are having. I feel like you are angry with reality. The reality is that she claims that she's "feeling nothing between you" and that you don't agree. It's ok that you are having thoughts like this. But it doesn't make it fact or that it is in any way useful. Hell, you don't even have to like this thought. Not everything I think is true and/or agreeable, and I always take comfort in the fact that they don't have to be!
I feel for you deeply, I can definitely relate to having old flings turning up. I've let my life be completely turned upside down, just to have a chance with them again. No so strangely, it has never turned out like I expected it to
The point I was making is
Thanks for your comment. However, the point I was making is that her "feeling nothing" makes absolutely no sense in the context of everything.
Why would she act nervous all night before our first sex? Why would she initiate text conversations 2 to 3 times daily? And why would she thank me, tell me she had fun, that we should definitely hang out again and then txt me to arrange to hang out w me the next day?
My point is I know for fact there were feelings even if it was just having fun. I have learned with women it is what they do, not say, that matters. Men think more logically and women think more with emotions and this is not necessarily a bad thing. My last girlfriend would hit me with some heavy stuff about what exactly she didn't like about me, and really rip into me, then 15 min later calm down and want to cuddle or have sex. Actions, not words.
But I'm not going to waste any more time on someone who I have spent good times with and had sex with and after so long, can't simply say, "Ya, I like you..."
I feel really frustrated w this sometimes bc my definition of love is someone you have complete trust and comfort with and feel like best friends and I sometimes meet women who want someone to make them have "butterflies" for the rest of their life. The only person that can make you feel butterflies forever is someone who is basically completely unpredictible and an asshole.
And anyway, someone who can feel nothing in a sexual relationship of any kind is probably someone I should avoid
Have you thought about what light this might shed on your analysis? Women: Does Orgasm Give You A Hangover? | Reuniting
Yeah, looks like I'll have to
Yeah, looks like I'll have to stop giving women orgasms
That stupid cupids arrow thing happened... And how come it doesn't happen to me, when I have sex with someone and hang out, cuddle and have warm fuzzies, I want more of it. However, my reward circuitry is no longer so damaged by sex addiction which pretty much everyone has whether they know it or not, so maybe that's why...
It may very well be too late for me and her, though.... Things have already been said and that I have enought friends and I'm not going to waste my time when there are women out there who would want to be with me discussion already happened.
I really DO have enough friends, I want and need a lover in my life.
I already went through this with my last girlfriend. "we are just friends -- just kidding, relationship, just kidding, friends" until I really didn't want either anymore.
I need to start by respecting myself and so can't find a good reason to reinitiate contact with this girl. If she can admit to herself that she really liked me(and I know she did because there were too many pieces of evidence, too many questions you only ask someone you like, etc., to be otherwise) and reinitiate contact with me, then we have somewhere to start.

Yeah, that's rude. Of course you're upset.

You're painting some pretty broad strokes with that brush. I think the major problem I have with people is that they don't behave they way they are supposed to. Not all women are alike or all men the same. And I'm angry exactly because they are not all the same! (But of course action carries more weight than talk.)

Just wanna spin off this point. If you listen to PUA material on "keeping the girl", this is basically what they tell you to do. Always be interesting, keep things moving, like really put a lot of effort into surprises and shit. I dunno, it doesn't seem very sustainable to me. It sounds exhausting! And yes, I guess it would make you an asshole too :)
I had a girlfriend that talked a lot of about these damn butterflies and how if they are present it's proof that you are in love. Also, is she implying that she'd think that she falled out of love with me if these supposed butterflies would disappear? Ugh. I always said I didn't have any butterflies. She can keep that hypothesis to herself.
Maybe she should read this
Will Orgasms Keep You in Love? | Reuniting
As a woman who fell for the "butterfies" (false) signal repeatedly...until I finally began to 'smell a rat' in my own primitive brain's programming, I can tell you that it can be very comforting to learn how to spot biology's sneaky moves...before you fall for them again.
Of course, you first need time to get over the shock and horror of realizing you were tricked.
It always takes me by surprise
Butterflies are subtle and I think it's very easy to fall into the trap of confusing ourselves for our feelings (or "biology" if you'd like). I sometimes catch myself thinking I'm literally my feelings.
I'm pretty sure based on
I'm pretty sure based on feedback from women I've been with, I'm more a warm fuzzies kinda guy rather than butterflies
And don't listen to PUA stuff. That shit doesn't get you laid or women in your life. Yeah, Ok once in a while a woman will come along and you may think it works, but trust me, as soon as I got the idea of being my authentic self and doing it my own way, that worked alot better...

I think this is the ticket for you; but don't constrain it to just the bedroom. The key is to be your authentic self all of the time, focusing on your experience rather than trying to manipulate theirs. It has to do with becoming more internally referenced rather than externally referenced. You don't have to overcompensate by being an asshole PUA. Just don't focus so much on how your female companions are reacting to you. Be true to yourself. Enjoy yourself based on what you like and want, not based on what she likes and wants. If she likes you, she'll let you know...you won't have to guess; and if she doesn't treat you well, then you simply react to that rather than trying to manipulate her into treating you better. Everything becomes so much simpler.

Could you clarify your meaning? Is this like how when I set a boundary, it's a boundary on my behavior, not hers, because I can't control hers and all the talking in the world is just nagging?
Are we talking about assertive communication? I feel ____ when ____ because _____and in the future i'd like ____?
Simpler than that
"No More Mr. Nice Guy" explains this all quite well. I only made the comment because you quoted this book, and it occurred to me that, from reading your posts, it just sounds to me (someone who doesn't know you) that you are really focused on the reaction you get from women, and not just in bed. It's a form of manipulation because when you tailor your behavior based on how you want the other person to respond, you're trying to get them to like you.
Instead of doing that, just be yourself, and the right girl will like you. She will feel the authenticity, and respond to that.
Take this with a grain of salt. As I said, I don't know you, only my idea of you from reading what you wrote. I hope it's useful to you. If not, then feel free to just ignore.
Yeah... Things just got weird
Yeah... Things just got weird...
Last night she texted me, inviting me to join her for a drink.
But then told me she was with a guy friend and he would be taking her home. I'm thinking something is wrong here and told her I didn't want to have a drink w her and watch her leave with another guy and opted out and said maybe we could do something fun some other time. Don't know if I appeared insecure/jealous, but I've literally never been in that situation before. It's possible she was out w a friend and just wanted to see me, I don't know
But, years back I had a girlfriend who would kiss on other guys right in front of me, she insisted she never actually cheated, and yeah I know it's my fault for allowing it and not walking away, but either way this experience left a toll on me and it's hard to trust... But even she never left with another guy when we were out....
I'm clueless right now
Maybe I was right about the no contact thing?
When she wants to have a drink
and fix you up with someone whom you might like, go. Otherwise....
In retrospect. i Think she
In retrospect. i Think she liked me. A lot. But my behavior turned her off. I was trying too hard to make it into something, focusing on what she was saying and doing at certain points, but if I looked at her actions overall, she was txting me all the time and consistently asking me to hang out and had sex w me two out of three evenings we spent together. In fact, the second time, she initiated and I was "No let's cuddle and sleep a while first" but then she got naked and I was toast
I mean, we met 6 months ago and sort of kept in touch and then she txted me out of the blue to hang out and we had sex that night, and she even acted nervous about it. Sender was right.
I feel stupid.
Remind me to stop focusing on words next time...
Hey, courtship is a messy game
particularly with conventional sex in the mix. Don't beat up on yourself. At least you're out there giving it your best.
Who's next??
*big hug*
Living authentically isn't as easy as it sounds
The idea of being your authentic self may be simple in concept, but it's not always easy to do, so don't be too hard on yourself. The problem is the way our brains work; in order to be able to respond to things in real time, we build up sophisticated neural networks that can process everything that's happening to us in the blink of an eye. While that can be helpful sometimes (especially when we're under stress), it also implies that much of how we respond in any situation is a form of programmed response. That complicates things immensely because in order to "be your authentic self", you first have to identify this unconscious programming and be able to shut it off when you want to, which is not so easy.
One way to identify a programmed response is to look for patterns in your life; for example: do you keep meeting the same kind of woman, or repeating the same kind of relationship drama? If so, there is probably an unconscious program at work, and in order to break the pattern, you need to identify and disengage the program.
I have worked on this for many years using with various techniques to learn to do this. I realize this is now sort of off topic (for this site), so feel free to PM me if you want some details.
I could use some advice.
I could use some advice.
After 3-4 days of no contact, she messaged me and asked me to come over and started giving me this talk about how she doesn't live here and we have to be just friends "why can't we be friends" and I "I don't want to be friends with you" Her: why Me: because I like you Her: but you want me to stay here with you Me: no, I just want us to enjoy what time we have together.(actually I would love it if she stayed, but I don't want her to give up her life and happiness where she lives...)
Next thing I know she started kissing me and I grabbed her ass and she wanted sex(I think she really likes it when I grab her ass). But as soon as I went in, in about 20 seconds I was about to come(I guess I missed her while we were apart) and I held back, pulled out, basically it triggered my performance anxiety again. I never really overcame it, but I found that if I just relax and fool around, eventually it will happen. My ex gf would have screamed at me for coming too early, so I had panicked It's weird cuz this girl loves sex w me even if I come early.
But, in the beginning, she was patient and we would fool around a while until I was ready, now she's more like: "why is this happening, we've already had sex a few times."
Anyway, she let me know to expect her to invite me over later tonight. She is staying w family, so its a bit awkward in that we sort of have to sort of sneak in our alone time.
So I could use advice. I either need to get my shit together and just make it happen, or I need to find a way calm her and get her to just cuddle or something. But she only cuddled once w me, since we've had sex, whenever we have time alone laying together, she's just like "let's go". Which may actually be good for my performance anxiety since I have someone who just wants sex and won't give me shit about my performance or how long I last...? And I can always introduce karezza later but I have googled a few pages on performance anxiety and everyone that solved it solved it by going through the act of sex all the way to orgasm and not placing emphasis on how long they lasted or other performance other than simply getting it up and doing it. This psychology sinks in so your body/mind starts to realize "ok. I can do this"
And yes the focus is on working on myself here, more than working on her or us like I would have done in the past.
what did you decide to do?Biology tends to win these debates unless you're clear that you really want to try something different. But that's okay. You're in your own laboratory and you can study your own results.
Let us know how it goes.
Well, she's off to the
Well, she's off to the airport now... We kinda just did it, I think I did alot better this time mainly bc there was alot of kissing and I focused on the softness of her lips rather than the softness of my penis lol. Damn, she has some soft lips, I could kiss her like forever....
And she told me the reason she reacted the way she did last time, was bc in her mind I was talking about my ex. But, from my perspective, I was actually talking about my ex to explain why the stage fright thing...
Anyway, I will miss her, and I'm sure she'll miss me, even though she hasn't admitted it (damn macho girls; sometimes I have to soften them up with my pisces sidereal assertiveness/expressiveness)
At this moment, I'm still glowing and I'm sure she is too, it sucks but it will actually be nice to leave on good terms with someone I really like for the first time ever....
I'm glad you have those warm memories. They have to be healing for you.
And the nice thing about it,
And the nice thing about it, is that, since I no longer use or think of sex addictively, I don't feel that strong need right now to do it again. I just feel satisfied.
However if she was here and wanted to...
That's called
"healthy libido."
Don't worry
There's many more where that came from. Work on you, career/school/life goals. That never fails to impress when you are doing alright by yourself and feeling good about it.

On the 25th August 2017, the government announced that they were introducing a £8.1m trial of partially driverless lorries on the roads within the UK. The trails are expected to take place at the end of next year.
Research has suggested that over 10 years of automated lorries, it could cost the industry nearly £34billion. This includes the cost of labour, fuel, insurance and vehicle utilisation. There needs to be more money spent into the project at first if the plan goes ahead. This will include building new roads on the motorway built only for these driverless lorries.
The trials will involve a process called platooning, this is where 3 HGVs are linked together through the new and advanced technology. The lead vehicle is controlling the acceleration and braking for all three vehicles. However, in this test, all vehicles have drivers ready to take control at any time.
If the test works, then it will cut insurance rates dramatically. As only one insurance will be needed for the 3 lorries. Therefore, cutting insurance costs for businesses by nearly two thirds.
However, this strategy does have its negatives, there are worries that the technology could get hacked. This could cause huge damage on the roads and to drivers not only in the lorries but around them too.
