Komedia Bath
8pm Start
It's an object of shame and pride; it inspires laughter and fear; it's a symbol of power, yet it's incredibly fragile; it can be a pound of flesh or an ounce of winkles, it can be used to express both love and hate; it creates life, it can condemn us to death… and it can do wees as well.
How can one tiny flap of sponge and sinew be all these things?
Richard Herring intends to find out in this tenth anniversary update of the critically acclaimed show that exposes the truth about men and their flutes of love.
Sell-out at the Edinburgh Fringe 2002 and Melbourne Comedy Festival 2003, translated and performed in over a dozen European countries, published as a book by Ebury press.
"Man's answer to the Vagina Monologues" – Guardian
"An impassioned and thoughtful disquisition on masculinity, cultural identity and sexual anthropology… but there are still loads of jokes about porridge guns." – Observer

Spin True lead-free wheel weights
California based Kibblewhite Precision Machining, Inc. (KPMI) has developed what it describes as "a true lead-free spoke wheel weight that won't come loose."
Designed and machined in-house at Kibblewhite's Pacifica facility, they are made from chrome plated stainless steel, with prototypes machined and then tested on a full range of wheel sizes. "At no time during any of our testing did a wheel weight come loose. Spin True wheel weights were designed to cover ranges of nipple sizes. The two most popular nipple size ranges were developed with six variations in weight, spanning 0.25oz to 1.5oz.
They fit nipple diameters from 0.250" to .350" and are "tough, corrosion resistant and attractive. The patent pending design features symmetrical halves that bolt together and lock onto the nipple.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that the reason for the ban on lead wheel weights is that they fall off of wheels, get ground up in passing traffic, and the lead then enters and contaminates ground water, lakes and streams when it rains.
At least seven US states have already instituted a ban, with more sure to follow soon. The EU banned the use of lead in wheel weights more than 10 years ago.

NPL Football Season to kick off in three weeks
Windhoek-With the 5th of October being the proposed kick-off date for the upcoming NPL league, the much-anticipated 2018 /2019 football season is just around the corner - allowing enough time for football clubs to put their affairs in order before the league commences.
Before kick-off, a few changes will have to be tabled and revisited to make sure that each team plays one game a week during the upcoming season.
League President Tovey Hoebeb shed more light on the anticipated developments.
"We will be having our AGM on the 15th of September because the AGM is the highest authority that will approve league fixtures. We want to engage other stakeholders like stadium authorities as well to make sure that the stadiums are ready for us on those particular days" Hoebeb said.
He emphasised that teams such as Julinho have learned their lesson after a struggle in the league and this should send a message to other teams to strengthen their defence as well. He said good planning is at the heart of everything.
"The registration is open and it will end on the 5th of October. I have seen some teams have already started with pre-season preps and some have indicated that they are having trials. I hope they will assemble good players and start making their way to the office" Hoebeb added.
He urged all clubs and teams to put their affairs in order on time and maximise their performance for the necessary points.

New Delhi: Outgoing President Pranab Mukherjee is set to watch here on Saturday Tigmanshu Dhulia's directorial Raag Desh, a film that salutes the heroes of the Indian National Army. Featuring Kunal Kapoor, Mohit Marwah and Amit Sadh, the film revolves around the Red Fort trial of three of Subhash Chandra Bose's Indian National Army (INA) officers.
It will be specially screened for the President at Rashtrapati Bhavan. Amit Sadh, Kunal Kapoor and Mohit Marwah play the lead role as Shah Nawaz Khan, Gurbaksh Singh Dhillon, and Prem Sahgal.
Producer Gurdeep Singh Sappal was keen that — as a mark of respect for those heroes — the President watches the film before his term draws to a close. He said in a statement, "It was only befitting that the first screening of the film, produced by Rajya Sabha TV, be held for the President of India. We were fortunate and grateful that the President granted our wish."
Mohit Marwah, who plays Prem Sahgal in the film, is excited too. He said, "This is a very special moment for me. I don't know when I will get this chance again to meet the President at his house. I've invited my parents too. Kunal, Tigmanshu and the producers will be there. Amit couldn't be a part of it as he is in London. We will do a parade from Vijay Chowk and head to the President's house," he added about the activity which is planned to recreate the 1940s era.
Raag Desh is slated to be released on July 28.

scp it is possible to copy files (and directories) from one Linux account to the other.
In general,
scp is followed by what to copy, and then by where to copy it. In case of directories, the
-r switch can be used to copy recursively. Note that
~ refers to the home directory of a user, and
. refers to the current directory. Remote paths consist of the user name (like
tue+s0123456), followed by an
@ symbol, a machine name, a colon, and path on the target machine for the target user. For the machine name you can use the same name as the machine you current work on. The name is included at each prompt in the command terminal, as well as in the title bar of the terminal.
Some examples:
scp *.scim* tue+s0123456@se-123:~
*.scim* (all
.scim and
.scim_diagram files) from the current directory to the home directory (
~) of user
scp -r 4k420 tue+s0123456@se-123:~
4k420 recursively (thus the
-r) from the current directory to the home directory (
~) of user
scp tue+s0123456@se-123:~/4k420/*.cift* .
*.cift* (all
.cift and
.cift_diagram files) from the
4k420 directory in the home directory of user
tue+s0123456 to the current directory (

CMMI (R) for Development (CMMI-DEV) describes best practices for the development and maintenance of products and services across their lifecycle. By integrating essential bodies of knowledge, CMMI-DEV provides a single, comprehensive framework for organizations to assess their development and maintenance processes and improve performance. Already widely adopted throughout the world for disciplined, high-quality engineering, CMMI-DEV Version 1.3 now accommodates other modern approaches as well, including the use of Agile methods, Lean Six Sigma, and architecture-centric development.
CMMI (R) for Development, Third Edition, is the definitive reference for CMMI-DEV Version 1.3. The authors have revised their tips, hints, and cross-references, which appear in the margins of the book, to help you better understand, apply, and find information about the content of each process area. The book includes new and updated perspectives on CMMI-DEV in which people influential in the model's creation, development, and transition share brief but valuable insights. It also features four new case studies and five contributed essays with practical advice for adopting and using CMMI-DEV. This book is an essential resource-whether you are new to CMMI-DEV or are familiar with an earlier version-if you need to know about, evaluate, or put the latest version of the model into practice.
The book is divided into three parts.
Part One offers the broad view of CMMI-DEV, beginning with basic concepts of process improvement. It introduces the process areas, their components, and their relationships to each other. It describes effective paths to the adoption and use of CMMI-DEV for process improvement and benchmarking, all illuminated with fresh case studies and helpful essays.
Part Two, the bulk of the book, details the generic goals and practices and the twenty-two process areas now comprising CMMI-DEV. The process areas are organized alphabetically by acronym for easy reference. Each process area includes goals, best practices, and examples.
Part Three contains several useful resources, including CMMI-DEV-related references, acronym definitions, a glossary of terms, and an index.

Mark Twain once said that ' You are never wrong to do the right thing'. We all always know what is the right thing to do but we almost never do it until a force of situations makes us do otherwise. We are all stuck in a rut even after we see a way out.…Read More

Corporal Gaudencia Wausi Muinde shot herself dead Wednesday morning at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport where she was attached.
Her body was found on the toilet seat leaning to the left side while in uniform at about 7am. Her official Jericho pistol was in her hand. The body of the officer, a mother of one, was taken to City Mortuary.
Ms Wausi had left behind a chilling message Tuesday night lamenting how unnamed persons were "planning evil against her".
"Life is so difficult when you live in a world where everybody is planning evil against you and what happens when you can't hold it anymore and no more strength to support the few people who love and cherish you, you are left with no other option other than…. so help me God," she wrote on Facebook Wednesday morning.
Colleagues at work, friends, family and online users were left wondering what provoked the former GSU officer to take her own life. Many speculated that it was stress at work.
As vague as the reason was, it now emerges that the "stress at work" was as a result of harassment by one of her seniors, says Gaudencia's close friend who spoke exclusively to eDaily in confidence for security reasons.
The source recounts his close friendship, last conversations with Gaudencia.
"I met Ms Wausi in 2008. Since then, she became a close friend. She did not keep anything secret from me, regardless of how personal the issue was.
"She was very lively and did not have any anger control problems. She would crack jokes often. I don't even know what went over her head to take her own life.
"Last week Friday she called me and requested that I print her certain words on a shirt. She'd seen a photo I had posted on Facebook showing me donned in a tee shirt that had words of a popular Kenyan phrase written on it, and she got interested in acquiring a similar wear.
"I asked a friend of mine who prints tee shirts to make one for Ms Wausi. On Tuesday, she called me to inquire if the shirt was ready. I told her yes. She said she would pick it from me that evening. However, I was on duty that day, but I asked my friend to take the shirt to her in town (Nairobi CBD) where they'd meet.
"Wausi interpreted my statement for being a snob. She thus told me: unanilenga kwa sababu sijalipa (You must be avoiding me because I haven't paid for the shirt). I responded, telling her she did not have to pay for it as it was a gift from me. In the course of that conversation she asked why I had kept away from her for long. We used to have drinks in Kiserian and Ongata Rongai over the weekends.
"There was a time last week she sent me a message lamenting how she had a lot of stress. I asked her what was up, but she said: "ni story ndefu, yafaa tukutane nikuambie (It is a long story. We should hook up so that I tell you everything). I told her: 'you have never hidden anything from me. So tell me what's up."
"After a long pause she said: 'There is a male boss of mine who is frustrating me. He told me to work on a double shift (day and night) henceforth.'
"She later confided in me that the man had made sexual advances at her but she rejected him. So the man could not stomach being turned down. Even worse, Wausi said that in the past few months her salary had not been credited to her bank account. I could not independently verify her claims."
"I urged her to consider resigning if the environment at her workplace had become tepid. Or if she could not leave her job, she reports the boss to his superiors.
"On Tuesday night I saw her chilling Facebook post. I called her mobile phone immediately and asked why she posted the disturbing message which insinuated she was going to kill herself. She told me that she was going to kill herself for the same reasons (sexual harassment at work and unpaid dues), saying it was 'haunting' her.
"I asked her to delete the post. She heeded and vowed not to take her life. Wausi's confidante narrated the response he got from her. Kaka niko kwa shida kazini (brother I am troubled at work).' Once again I urged her to resign and look for another job. She said that her academic qualifications were not too impressive and getting another job would be difficult.
"I counseled her. She calmed down, but repeated the words: 'Niko na stress sana (I have a lot of stress)!' I told her I would meet her the following morning (Wednesday, August 24) at her place in Embakasi before I proceed to work. On Wednesday, my friend Obadiah Mulinge who works at JKIA called me on phone with a shaky voice saying: 'unajua beshte yako amejiua (Do you know that your friend has committed suicide)?
"I was shocked! I called Wausi's phone immediately. It went unanswered. I asked Obadiah: 'Are you sure Wausi is dead?' He told me: 'Sadly, yes. As I am talking to you, I am standing next to her lifeless body.'
"She hadn't called me that morning as we'd planned. Her death saddens me," he said. This writer noticed the indignation in his voice and the tears dancing in his eyes.
He perhaps would have saved his friend had he called her that morning. He did not. The price of such a sudden death is heavy on him as he tearfully explained: "Wausi has left behind a 4-year-old son."
Their friendship goes back in time. "I knew Wausi through a friend called Stanley Kizome in 2008. She had not even joined the police force at the time. After we got used to each other, she revealed she wanted to serve in the police force. I joked, asking her: 'utatoboa kweli (Will you really manage)? She said yes. And I encouraged, supported her."
"After she killed herself, a female best friend of hers – who was also from her community– called me on phone asking: 'Nini iliingia Caude (Caude was a corruption of Wausi's Christian name, Gaudencia)
"Caude was very cheerful. Actually, for the eight years of our friendship, I saw her get worked up only once – when a mutual friend named Eric asked her what happened between her and her baby-daddy. She got furious and responded almost immediately: 'Eric usiwahi sema jina ya huyo mtu (baby daddy) mahali niko, tutakuja kukosana (Eric, never mention that man's name in my presence. If you do, you won't like the outcome).
"It seems she was not in good terms with her baby daddy. She was not married – and by the time she passed on, she did not have a boyfriend that I was aware of."
Kenya Airport Police Unit Deputy Commandant Rono Bunei said they were shocked by the death and investigations had been launched.

After reading Lawrence Yeo's excellent description of the game that is "Unlived Life" about the dreams we're not living, I thought hard about my own writing career. How was Resistance getting in the way? How could I beat the bosses on three levels, namely Laziness, Self-Doubt and Uncertainty.
I marvelled at the accuracy he'd pinpointed the three levels of Resistance preventing us from Nirvana, or the "Unlived Life". If you're also starting on your new path towards living a more creative life, creating your own serendipities with the work you create, check out Lawrence's walk-through of the game, "The Quest to the Unlived Life" so you can formulate your personal strategies for dealing with the bosses which stand in your way.
I've found, as an extrovert, that it's good to surround myself with people who are relentlessly exploring the possibilities. The great thing about these people is that unlike 98% of the population they know exactly what they want and how to work to get it. If you're lucky you don't have to look far to find these people. In my case, some of these people are the very members of my own family.
Yup, family was an institution I largely overlooked because of mum and dad's dysfunction. There are super-functional members of my family, I've discovered, and they are turning out to be a gold mine of inspiration.
Coincidentally, both sides of my family have people in different generations and fields, who have broken through their comfort zones, gone outside of their immediate circles, which are cosy, warm and nourishing, to find the pieces of their unlived life to claim as their own. They are actively going out, exploring the unknown, bring it back home, processing it some more and taking it back out onto the world.
Basak, my second cousin on my dad's side started her career as an architect. She restored an old mansion on the North side of Bosphorus where the waters meet the Black Sea.
Somehow she caught the Jazz bug (Basak, how did you get into Jazz? Please fill me in on this. I'm curious) and started following it all the way to winning local Jazz vocalist competitions, to world renowned Jazz schools and even to the birthplace of Jazz, New York City. She placed in international competitions, released albums with her Jazz heroes and appeared on radio programs in her home town, Istanbul. She's currently teaching music and is one of the members of the Istanbul Composers Orchestra.
The few times I've come across her on social media, she's sharing her love of music and the joy she founds in the playfulness of the universe which she echoes in her style of telling her stories, through song.
Accomplishing all of these things did not happen over night. She had to overcome many obstacles. One being, she's a Turkish national where Jazz is not a part of the culture. She's unusual int he regard. Secondly, the country's economy and political stance largely prevents its citizens from being welcomed with open-arms in all corners of the world. Visas can be difficult to obtain and Turkish Lira is a weak and unstable currency. This means everything appears more out of reach for people from this part of the world. The call of her unlived life (meaning in Jazz melodies) has her overcoming tough barriers.
My second cousing on my mum's side, Emirhan, founder of Turkish Kit, a community of Turkish Apple iOS developers, had a dream a few years back and became the first Turkish person picked out for the Apple WWDC16 and then again for Apple WWDC17. For as long as I've known Emirhan he's been obsessively learning, putting his learnings into practice, gaining experiences and then sharing his experiences to educate and inspire others. He's been a TedX speaker not once but twice. He's someone who walks the path without fear and encourages others to do the same. In our ever changing world, the biggest risk is not taking any risk and living a life within one's limited comfort zone.
When I look at my immediate family, my partner stands out as someone who's dedicated to the work he wanted to do since he was a teenager. He's been investing and trading since he was young and now all that practice has paid ofe gets off. He's trusted to invest a lot of other people's money.
As for me?
It took me a long time to own this thing that I'm a writer. Perhaps it's not as socially acceptable as being a technologist or a fund manager, which are all professions deemed respectable and hence rewarded handsomely financially. Basak went out on a limb as a vocalist because she could not ignore her talent and where the universe was leading her. Emirhan joined the army of coders rewriting our world. I can do the same with my ideas which I put out as textual words, scripts and digital experiences. It's exciting times and I truly feel that the keyboard is mightier than any weapon we've known as humankind.
It's time to put aside all excuses, overcome laziness, self-doubt and all the other bosses described by Lawrence Yeo and keep doing the work.
The people who do the work, who don't complain about the economy, politics, social media, their fellow human beings, their own circumstances are those who I need around me to feed my flame.
The only way to find and reconnect with these people? It's through doing the work.
Keep getting up to do the work. Especially when you don't feel like it. It's the only way to exist in this world and reach immortality in the hearts and minds of generations to come.

Here is my Isotope Site.
I am critiquing Delaney Rice's E-Commerce site, which was SUPERB. She redesigned and cleaned up the GameStop.com site for her project. I love how much more readability her version of the site had. I have a hard tim with internet shopping, and I am an avid gamer, so locating games and trying not to get lost in the process while using GameStop.com is stressful to me. Her design opened up the dead space to make room for the most important elements of the page. Also, her interior page design was for a Zelda game (Link Between Worlds), which pleased me. I hope that GameStop headquarters sees how convoluted their site is one day soon–so Delaney can save the day!

One of the parents from the class I am teaching helped buy this projector for us to use in class.
That combined with this sheet will make movie night.
Granted, the quality is not as good as one of those $2000 projectors that are made for home theaters, but I was pleasantly surprised at how good the picture is. So we have rented a movie from Amazon and are about to see how it goes.
On a completely unrelated note, this fellow was sitting in the field down by the mailboxes the other day.

SaskParty's Job Killing Tax Policies
For Release August 12, 2019
Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Saskatchewan, Ken Grey is asking the SaskParty government and Premier Scott Moe when they will finally acknowledge that their tax policies have created a job killing nightmare for many families in Saskatchewan?
"When the SaskParty cut the Film tax credit, hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars left the province" said Ken Grey. "and now we are seeing it again with 350 jobs lost in Colonsay in the potash industry. We have some ofthe highest royalties in the world on our potash due to Scott Moe's government deciding to save a few bucks to cover their vanity spending"
"The elimination of the Potash Production Tax Credit was poor timing for an already beleaguered industry and the elimination of the Film Tax Credit has nearly wiped out the industry here in Saskatchewan." said Ken Grey.
"The Progressive Conservative Party of Saskatchewan recognizes that our products, both grown and resourced, are what fuel this province. As a government, we will prioritize Saskatchewan families, businesses and industries by truly finding new markets, funding innovations, reinstating tax credits and managing royalties to match market trends" Grey said.
"This is another example of the SaskParty standing up for the SaskParty. Premier Moe should put more effort into saving jobs than getting a pat on the back from Garth Brooks." said Ken Grey.

Info of Comprehensive Car Insurance
This portion of your insurance covers damages caused by break-ins, theft, hail storms, tree limbs, vandalism and fire. One hail storm could total out your car due to the cost of popping out all the dents. Not sure if you've been through that before, but I have, and it was very expensive. Also, a friend of mine, just this week, got their back window shot out of their van. Doesn't sound so bad, but it was vandalism with a pellet gun. The glass replacement was $700 and they had a deductible of $500. You do the math. Ouch.
Sometimes it doesn't pay to have comprehension insurance. If you have an older car that isn't worth much, then you'd be better off to save the money towards a new car or just save it to pay for any damages that may occur. You have to look at the cost of comprehension insurance and the value of the vehicle. I know some people want it no matter how old or junky their car is. But why pay for hail damage and radio theft if your old car doesn't have a radio. Besides, if you have an old car, the radio is probably old, too.
But when you go and buy a new or newer car, having full coverage makes sense. Finding old junkyard parts on a new car is quite difficult and if you find the part, they are rare – hence – expensive. Now, most people have comprehension insurance because the bank or finance company requires this coverage. If you finance a car, then they make you pay for full coverage insurance. Not fair? But think about Mr. Banker for a moment. You have to carry insurance and keep the car in good shape so it can be sold in case you don't pay for it. So if you don't have insurance on your new Dodge Ram, and a hail storm comes and instantly depreciates out your truck by $6,000 – ouch.

Data Innovation: "National Geographic has created a series of data visualizations illustrating how migratory birds make their thousand-mile flights to follow the "green wave"—the seasonal growth of vegetation around the planet. The maps demonstrate how the birds often take the most direct path, despite the prevalence of storms and predators, to conserve energy. The animations combine satellite data, models of bird abundance from the the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and crowdsourced observations from birdwatchers…" Take a look. – Billions of Birds Migrate.Where Do They Go? Migratory birds have made their thousand-mile flights for millennia, but we are just now learning to map their mesmerizing journeys.

Wizarding World,[1] formerly known as J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World, is an American-British media franchise centring around the shared fictional universe of the films created by Warner Bros. in connection to the novels of J. K. Rowling. Beginning in 2001, they have created ten films, with up to three more on the way. Wizarding World includes both the Harry Potter film series and the new Fantastic Beasts film series.
The company was founded by J.K. Rowling and Warner Bros. based on the original Harry Potter film series made from the work of Rowling, for which the beginning was the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 2001. The company works in connection with David Heyman and the company Heyday Films who have worked on every film in the series.
The franchise has become the third highest grossing film series ever, collectively making $8.5 billion. The franchise now includes Pottermore, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Orlando, the stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and Portkey Games.
New logo
The new logo was unveiled on 13 March 2018 by Pottermore and would be the official logo for the website and shared universe of every film, appearing alongside the Pottermore logo. It celebrates a new era for the growing shared universe in the hope the brand will uphold the authenticity of information.[2]
The logo was designed to look like an open book, with the wands of nine characters from both Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts placed around the logo. From the left, the wands of Voldemort, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and Harry Potter were placed.

Most people that I meet with after an accident have lots of concerns. However, one of my main concerns for them as my client is to make sure there is enough and/or any Bodily Injury (BI) coverage or Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM) coverage for their injuries. I cannot stress enough the importance of having a little known insurance on your auto policy called "UM"! To me, it is one of the most important insurance coverages for your auto insurance, especially down here in Florida. Imagine the following:
- You are injured in a bad accident and it was not your fault;
- The person that caused the injuries has only minimal Bodily Injury Coverage or no Bodily Injury Coverage; and
- You are in need of medical treatment and/or surgery
This is a very common and scary scenerio down here in Florida. In order to make sure you are protected in a situation like this above, it is vitally important to have UM auto insurance protection. This is an extra protection that you would pay for thru your own auto insurance company. It protects you if the person that caused the injuries does not have enough or any Bodily Injury (BI) coverage. To learn more, please check out the video or look at the information provided on my website.

Making mistakes is part of human nature. We learn from our mistakes and they help us grow and thrive, and they actually do make us stronger. However, when it comes to prepping, mistakes might be costly- after all, you are preparing for worst-case scenarios and planning in order to survive when things go awry, so making major prepper mistakes along the way can have disastrous effects in the long run.
If you consider prepping yourself, the amount of information available might seem overwhelming and it's easy to get lost and confused. Thankfully, there is a lot of more experienced preppers willing to share nuggets of wisdom and their tried and true methods for successful prepping.
5 Prepper Rookie Mistakes
Even if you're not a newbie at prepping, it couldn't hurt to check if what you're doing is actually efficient, so here are the 5 most common mistakes that rookie preppers (as well as some veterans) often make:
1. Lack of actual practice
The core of the prepper lifestyle is to plan ahead and be prepared for any given number of disasters that will require you to put your skills and knowledge to the test. It's incredibly easy to get lost in all the planning and prepping and lose sight of the bigger picture, which actually has a counterproductive effect.
Prepping is not only planning without practicing and trying out your plans in reality. One of the worst things you can do is focus all your energy on coming up with evacuation plans, survival strategies, and emergency game plans without trying out if your plans would actually work when put to the test.
Would you be comfortable playing in the NBA finals with only countless basketball games you watched to back you up? No, of course not- some things just can't be planned and thoroughly researched, and in order to have a successful outcome, you need to put in a lot of practice. No matter how foolproof and clever your plans and strategies might seem, without testing them out first you can never know if they will actually work when things go south.
Make a trial run of your bug out plan. Feel how it would actually be if you had to evacuate from your home, and take notice of every little detail of the process- is your bug out bag too heavy, are there things you needed and didn't have, is the route to your bug out location the best one possible- and make sure that your plans are still solid even when put to test.
2. Losing Sight of Realistic Threats
Some preppers tend to fixate on doomsday scenarios, and, unfortunately, that's how most people see preppers, thanks to the reality show portraying prepper lifestyle in a narrow-minded fashion. This allows people to discredit the actual value and tremendous logic behind prepping, by shrugging the need to prepare off by thinking that the only reason for prepping is for a zombie apocalypse or a meteorite disaster. In reality, things are so much more different.
Of course, who's to say that there's no chance of a deadly virus decimating humanity or nuclear fallout, but these events are less likely to occur than, let's say, a devastating hurricane, earthquake or economic collapse. Preparing for the worst-case scenario that's highly unlikely to happen anytime soon leaves you vulnerable to actual, very real and plausible risks and threats that happen all around the world every day.
Natural disasters such as hurricane Katrina or Sandy hit swiftly and unexpectedly, and in these situations, having a bug out plan and survival skills are the things that may well save you and your family's lives. A blizzard or a tornado can lead to power outages or water and food supply shortage, and just like that, all your prepping will bear fruit. Prepping for real-life scenarios is infinitely more likely to have a positive outcome, than obsessing over extreme scenarios that might not come to pass in your lifetime.
Focus on your area and the common risks and threats that are the most likely to happen. Use the knowledge you have to customize your prepping lifestyle, and ensure that you'll be able to overcome anything that comes in your way. We're not saying that you shouldn't think big- you should actually have a contingency plan in place for those situations too, just make sure you have your priorities set straight, and assess which risks are the most realistic ones, given your place of residence.
3. Focusing On Stocking Up Rather Than Skills
Stockpiling food, weapons, and surviving gear are essential when preparing for worst-case scenarios. Having a basement filled with enough rations to last you a few years, ammunition to spare and all the tools and gadgets that will give you an upper hand when all hell breaks loose actually doesn't mean you are prepared- it just means you've covered one aspect of it.
There's always a high probability of losing your stash- it can be looted, lost in a natural disaster or just needed to be left behind in an emergency evacuation. That's where your skills will help you shine.
It's completely wrong to become lulled into the feeling of false security, and the fact you are fully stocked and prepared doesn't mean your preparedness will be a foundation for sustainability. Even if nothing happens to everything you've stocked, what will happen after 2 or 3 years, when your resources dry up?
It is essential to be able to rely on your own skills and abilities to help you survive in different disastrous situations. Just stop and think, what if everything you prepared to help you survive just vanished when you need it the most- would you be able to rebuild from scratch and adjust to scarcity without a substantial backup?
You should always nurture your survival skills and hone them day in and day out, whether it's tending your own garden, becoming an expert hunter and a marksman, or just working on your orientation skills. Stocking on survival and prepping books sure is smart, but you'll need to be able to put all that useful information into use. Developing survival skills is crucial for sustainability and success, and without being able to apply all the knowledge you've gained over the years, all will be for naught.
4. Putting All Your Eggs in One Basket
The fact that having a bug out plan is a very important part of the prepping lifestyle is an indication enough that you can never count on just one safe location. When SHTF, having all your resources in one place is a recipe for disaster- in case your safe location isn't destroyed, it becomes a potential jackpot to looters. On the other hand, if you place your food, weapons and other gear in different secure locations, you won't be left stranded in case one of them was stolen or ruined. It's really important out of other prepper mistakes.
Just think of having multiple locations for your stock same as of a bug out plan- being able to rely on your home be your fortress in dire times sure is ideal, but there are chances you'll need to write off your main safe haven and look for another location to survive.
Keep all of your safe locations secure and hidden, and reveal their whereabouts only to your family. Having the people that are closest to you privy to this important information can prove to be extremely useful in case you get separated or something happens to you.
But, it's not only your valuable stash of food, gear and other necessities that need a backup plan. Create multiple bugs out routes, to ensure you'll always have a viable way to access your bug out location, no matter the circumstances of the emergency. Keep a bug out bag stored safely in different places, such as your workplace, car, and home. You can never know how exactly will the events unfold and what safe places and resources will you be able to access. By multiplying places you can use for shelter and having more than one location for securely storing survival essentials, you're also increasing your chances of success.
5. Overlooking The Importance of Communication and Networking
Some of the prepping websites tend to place people in one's community in the context of looting, chaos and portray them as something to fend off and defended from. Sure, there's always a big chance that other people can become a threat in the case of disasters and emergencies, but an important part of sustainable prepping is getting to know your neighbors and building a secure network of people who could rebuild and help one another.
Of course, you should always have in mind that sharing information about your stock and preparedness is a delicate business- what you share and who you share it with should always be cautiously handled. Your safe locations, shelters, and information about your resources should be shared only with the people closest to you and revealing this to people other than your family can lead to unfortunate situations and potentially, big problems.
However, that doesn't mean you should think of yourself as a lone wolf. People do their best when teamed up, and having people work together towards a common goal is a surefire way to both survive and thrive. A good support network can be a priceless asset in times of need, and where better to start than in your own neighborhood? Get to know the people who are living next door, and try to create strong relationships with them, and who knows, it just might be their helping hand you'll need the most when things go sideways.
Another thing that often gets overlooked is the importance of communication channels. When the power lines go down, how will you know what's happening outside your own safe haven? Information can be invaluable, and in times of catastrophe, having a way to hear about news and the ability to communicate with other people can be a life-saver. The smartest investment is to buy and set up a HAM radio. You'll be able to get in touch with people all around the world if need be, and nothing will surprise you if you have a source of information.
What About Other Frequent Prepper Mistakes?
Now that we've gone over the 5 most common prepper mistakes that preppers make, you're probably thinking to yourself, but how to avoid all the other mistakes and ensure you're preparing efficiently?
Everything people do is just trial and error, and the best method is yet to be decided upon. The safest way is to combine your own common sense with the advice and experiences of prepping veterans. By following your own instincts, as well as useful guidelines, tips, and tricks from prepping pros, you'll learn from both your own mistakes and the ones other people make.
But, the key to avoiding mistakes and being a successful prepper is to truly understand what prepping is all about. It's not a hobby, fad or a pastime activity. Prepping is a way of life. Most newbies start off on the wrong foot, thinking that stocking on ammo or canned foods is all that it takes to be a prepper. The reality is, however, quite more complex than that. The essence of preparedness isn't just in hoarding large quantities of users and resources, it requires commitment, effort, and perseverance. Prepping is a whole package deal, and you'll need all of your bases covered, and a superficial approach to it simply won't lead anywhere.
When you truly sit down and realize that at any given moment, your world might turn upside down and that you'll be forced to fend for yourself and your family, as well as that day, might be much closer than you think, your perspective on life shifts. You'll begin to understand the importance of sustainability and independence, and that's when the prepper's mindset will start to kick in.
At that moment, you'll realize you're not prepping to fend off zombies, you're preparing for a self-reliant, purposeful lifestyle. Instead of wasting your time on trinkets and trivial distractions, you're actually becoming your best self- the person who can secure their own survival and protect and care for their families in times of need.
People have grown lazy and overly dependent on luxuries of modern life, but deep down, our instincts are in the right place, deep down, each and every one us has the drive for survival and the tools to achieve it with. All you need to do is find that place within yourself, and start preparing for the worst.

Another popular central Florida holiday destination is Kissimmee. Florida villa rentals are abundant in Kissimmee, and this is a top spot for golf and family fun. Kissimmee is in an ideal location to enjoy the amusement parks and adventures that are available in Orlando. The proximity to Orlando also means you'll likely find top-notch villas for a great price. Kissimmee has plenty of amazing attractions in its own right as well, such as swamp tours to see Florida wildlife up close and Old Town Kissimmee with its world-class shopping and dining. Kissimmee is also lovely for a romantic getaway.
Are you hoping to find things to do while you're in the area? Venture out of your holiday home and experience everything that makes Kissimmee a one-of-a-kind holiday spot. Here are some of the major attractions to explore, all within 30 miles (48.2 km) of the city centre:
If you're hoping to enjoy some warm-weather activities on your holiday, July, August, June and September are the hottest months to visit, when temperatures average 33°F.
Whether you're an adventurous traveller or just want to spend some time taking in the scenery, Kissimmee is a great place to get outside. These are some of the area's most enchanting natural features, all within 30 miles (48.2 km) of the city centre:
The nearest airport is in Kissimmee, FL (ISM-Kissimmee Gateway), located 1.9 mi (3 km) from the city centre. If you can't find a flight that works for your travel itinerary, you could also fly into Orlando, FL (MCO-Orlando Intl.), which is 11.2 mi (18 km) away.
If you're travelling by train, the main station serving the city is Kissimmee Station.
Rental cars are ubiquitous in Kissimmee and a vast majority of the travellers who head here on a family break will opt for their own wheels. It's easy to see why. Not only do loads of Kissimmee holiday homes come with on-site parking but the city is really well-linked to Highway 192. That has 2 advantages; 1st, it connects with Interstate 4 to get you to the theme parks in less than 30 minutes, and 2nd, it connects with Route 441, to get you to Orlando International Airport in just 25 minutes. There is a public bus provider for those determined not to rent a car. It's called the LYNX network and has routes going to central Orlando and the popular draws along International Drive.
Kissimmee villa rentals are a real family favourite. That's not just because they often come with on-site pools and plenty of bedrooms, but also because they sit right on the cusp of some of the Sunshine State's most fun-inducing draws. Walt Disney World is the obvious chart-topper. It sprawls out, with its clutch of different theme parks, just a whisker to the north-west – home to the mighty Animal Kingdom and the spires of Cinderella's castle. Universal Studios is also up that way, packed with Harry Potter-themed attractions and cartoon-inspired roller coasters.

Snow Day!
Like many folks who grew up in North Carolina, I turn into a nine year old when it snows! Granted, when the initial gentleness of the first few hours turns into shoveling, slipping on the ice, negotiating muddy slush on the roads and having to cancel important events and meetings, it gets old quickly!
But the beauty as it falls and the pristine picture of the world covered over with a blanket of snow makes me smile. Sledding, snowmen and snowball fights still come immediately to mind and great memories of all the stories over the years of fun times in the snow!
The spiritual imagery cannot be missed–our sin being covered by the redeeming grace of Christ so that our hearts are cleansed by His blood and made "as white as snow (Isaiah 1:18)." No wonder I still love snow days!
However, it is not all fun and games! There are those moments! This video that has been around for a while and still makes me laugh. Enjoy!
One thought on "Snow Day!"
Great reflection on a snowy day!

Z: Final Countdown
A World-Wide Pandemic? FREE through 31 May
How do you solve the problem of scarce resources and over-population with one devastating act?
Publishers Weekly: "The action is crisp with a great job of establishing a sense of reality—and real danger—by mixing current fears about killer diseases with a clear-eyed view of the Army."
Assigned to escort SNN's ace reporter Conner Young, who's accompanying a US Army Special Forces A-team as part of the UN's peacekeeping mission in Angola, former Green Beret Dave Riley finds himself undertaking his most dangerous and thrilling mission yet.
In the war-torn jungles of Africa, the team becomes infected with a terrible disease known as 'Z', which kills within days and is now on the verge of an uncontrollable outbreak.
The shocking truth about the virus points to a mysterious diamond cartel based on the Namibian coast. In a desperate race against time, Riley and the assault team must secure the only antidote before it is destroyed.
Bookpage: "Take an original look at a simmering world hot spot, and generates a lot of suspense along the way. A winner on all points."
Library Journal: "A heart-pounding thriller about the emergence of a deadly ebola-like virus. The panorama of modern warfare and the details of hand-to-hand combat encounters add excitement. Inventive, entertaining, and realistic adventure. Highly recommended."
Kirkus: "A ripping good biotech/military thriller that plausibly depicts the high costs of combating unseen enemies. An absorbing and well-written series.

How do I go about filming an arty spoken word pieceHello SP world
I have a piece of spoken word that was well received and I'd like to make it into a short film. I have some vague ideas about how to do it visually, but I think I need to team up someone with an interest in poetic/visual film making? What title should I even be searching for?
Also does anyone know about funding opportunities for this kind of work? The topic is quite relevant to our times.
Many thanks in advance!
