Do you meditate? If you do, then you already know how beneficial it can be for you
If you don't practice meditation yet then with this post I'd just like to encourage you to start it right now If you don't know the benefits of meditation, then just have a look at this page Live and Dare It lists 76 benefits of meditation. It actually shows you not just the benefits, but the scientific evidence as well. It's quite a long post, but detailed and comprehensive, so definitely worth reading it.
The first important thing that you need to know if you want to start to practice meditation
But back to the point, there are two things I'd like to emphasize with this post. The first one is to do it. To practice it. Not next month, not next week, not tomorrow. Start it today, right after reading this post. I started practicing meditation back in 2013. I don't say that I've been meditating every day since then, but I can say, that about 3-4 times a week. And it could be more of course, but with three kids, that's the most I can do nowadays 🙂 And I'm sure this time will increase, as my kids are getting older.
How I benefited from meditation
But this frequency was still enough for me to benefit from meditation. Let me just give you a short list, that comes to my mind suddenly in what areas of my life I see and feel development because of practicing meditation:
- I was quite hot-tempered, especially with my children, today I don't lose my temper easily (actually I wouldn't say I'm hot tempered today)
- Relationship issues: it might sound unbelievable, but conflicts almost disappeared from my life. Well obviously I have some, but in the past I had many. Today I rarely have any, and if I happen to have, then I can handle them fast and easily. This is the area of my life, where I could experience the most remarkable effect (with my sending love and blessing technique/meditation, which you can find here Sending blessing meditation, you can also experience great shifts in other people's behavior)
- My goals have become clearer, I got to know what I would like to achieve, I got to know what I want form my life, I got to know my core values, I got to know who I am
- I can hear that tiny little sound inside myself, that whispers to all of us. When I started to meditate every article I read, and everybody who I talked with told that look inside and you would get the answers. And I said OK, but how, and when, and how do I know that that is that sound, and not my EGO. So I had many doubts back then. But everyday it becomes clearer and distinguishable 🙂
- I could let go of many of my fears
- I gained inner peace, happiness and contentment through meditation. I'm not saying that I don't have bad days at all, what I'm just saying, that I can easily pull myself out of negativity and also if I get in it. And also that I don't have a full bad day or days actually. I mean there isn't a whole day when I feel constantly bad. I'm grateful everyday for my life for my circumstances, I can appreciate my life more, I guess. And with this gratitude I obviously create a better and better reality for myself.
- It heightened my awareness in many areas of my life, like spirituality, relationship issues, parenting and so on
- I'm not so judgmental. Again I'd lie if I told you that I never judge, but as soon an I become aware that I'm judging others, I stop, and ask myself why do I judge this person. So actually I judge less, but if I still judge most of the times I become aware of my judgment, which is very important I believe
- I can see easily other people perspectives, that's why I judge less. Because I accept other people's perspectives. I actually accept other people
- My self-confidence also grew much, I accepted myself, I love myself, I love my life 🙂 And the circle is closing here, because obviously we can see the connection here. The growth of my self-confidence accepting and loving myself brought all the above listed things to my life. I guess we can agree with that 🙂
So that's all that comes to my mind at the moment, if anything pops, I'll refresh the post 🙂
The second important thing that you need to know if you want to start to practice meditation
And here comes the second thing I'd like to emphasize. The aim of this post is not to list forms of meditation (I'll write a post about that either in the future). Nor to list the things that I benefited from meditation. What I'd just like to emphasize in this post, in case you are a bit of overwhelmed with the information you find about meditation, is that you can't do it wrong. Why? Because your intention, your willingness to meditate is more than enough to do it properly Actually there is no improper ways to meditate.
When I became familiar with all these New Age stuffs, I read and heard many good things about meditation. The only problem was that I didn't have any clue how to do that. But luckily that didn't prevent me from starting to practice it. I started to search on Google how to meditate. You can guess there were tons of information about it. I was overwhelmed. And I still didn't know how to do it. Once I tried this way, then in another way. I didn't know if I did it right or wrong. To tell the truth I was a bit confused.
And then I found an article just in time (so I didn't give it up). It said that you can't meditate in a bad way. You can't do it wrong. You always do it right. There is no right or wrong meditation. There is no right or wrong way to do it. If you fall asleep during meditation, then it's OK. If you can't focus, then it's also OK. If you can't quiet your mind, that's OK also (to tell the truth most of the times in the beginning it is actually hard to quiet your mind). This article actually comforted me and I kept on practicing. So you just need to find the form of meditation, that resonates with you the most. And then the point is to accept and embrace whatever happens. Take it easy. It's very good that you started to mediate. You'll evolve, you'll get to know yourself more and more. You'll have experience which form of meditation fits you the best. Just be persistent and enjoy it If the form of meditation you tried doesn't resonate with you, then go and try another one. That's OK. Really. It's not because you do it in a wrong way, it's just because all of us are unique. We need to find our own ways to meditate. No matter if it's guided, or transcendental. I truly believe that every form of meditation is beneficial. You just need to find the one that fits you the most. And this is very important because, I guess you will only be persistent if you like meditating, won't you?
In my next post I'll share some forms of meditations that you can choose from, if you plan to begin meditating or you've just begun to meditate but you feel lost how to do it.

In theory, young adulthood is one of the best times of a person's life. At this stage, people usually don't yet have kids, so they have no one else but themselves to take care of. They also have no financial worries to think about other than their student loan.
But, in real life, young adulthood isn't always a great time. Sure, people have more money during this compared to when they were students since they're now working and earning a salary. The problem is that young adults are often plagued with bad financial habits that make life more difficult and even lead to their downfall. If you're one of these young folks, here are some of the habits that might be killing your financial future:
Spending all your money on unnecessary things
It can be really tempting to buy that gourmet latte, that new smartphone, that designer bag. But do you really need it? If you don't, you're probably wasting your hard-earned money on unnecessary things.
This doesn't mean you should live like a monk, though. The keyword here is moderation: if getting that daily latte leaves your money too tight, why not cut back and treat yourself to it once a month? You can brew your own coffee at home and bring it to work to still get your caffeine kick every day.
Failing to save enough money (or at all)
Overspending on non-necessities (as mentioned above) can leave you with less money for your savings. So, when you start cutting back on unnecessary expenses, you'll have more money to put into your savings account. And make sure you do save it, not spend it anywhere else — having substantial emergency funds can mean the difference between sailing unharmed through financial problems and getting knee-deep in debt.
Neglecting your debt
Speaking of debt, it's time to pay closer attention to it. Calculate all your debts (including student loans, payday loans, and credit card balances) and figure out how you can pay them within the shortest possible time. This can mean avoiding unnecessary purchases and paring down to the barest necessities so you can use all your extra money to repay your creditors. This can also mean getting a second job and using your earnings from it to clear your debts.
Relying solely on your job
This isn't really a huge crime, particularly if your job lets you earn a large salary. But what you have to realize is that jobs don't usually last forever; you'll have to be incredibly lucky to be employed in the same company from your 20s up until your retirement. Because of this, it's important to have another way to make money and earn additional income, such as a side business. This way, you'll have the financial capacity to support yourself even if you lose your day job. You'll also have extra earnings that you can use to pay your debts or increase your savings.
Don't worry if you're not a natural entrepreneur; there are many experienced business owners who are willing and eager to provide mentorship to newbies like you. With their help, you'll learn how to manage your business and eventually make it successful.

Article Title
This paper examines the major constitutional decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada in the 2007 calendar year. The Court decided just 58 cases in 2007, the lowest number since 1975, and only 63 per cent of judgments were unanimous, a departure from the McLachlin Court's overall average of 75 per cent. The Court's decisions averaged 44.8 pages per appeal in 2007, the longest in 20 years, while the time from the hearing of an appeal to the release of the judgment increased to 6.6 months. Only 25 per cent of Charter claims were successful in calendar 2007. This is a departure from the McLachlin Court average of 44 per cent, but closer to the long-term average of one in three challenges succeeding. One the me that emerges from the 2007 term is the Court's concern with the monetary implications of the recognition of Charter claims, on display in the Hislop and Christie cases. The Court rejected all five of the freedom of expression claims it heard, and sided with law enforcement in two cases concerning police powers. The paper canvasses each of these decisions, as well as the Canadian Western Bank and Lafarge cases dealing with federalism issues. the paper concludes with a brief look at the voting patterns of the judges, followed by an examination of the implications of Justice Bastarache's June 2008 retirement. The nomination process for the next Supreme Court justice is described, and some of the changes brought in by the Conservative government are critiqued. The government should monitor the impact of these changes to ensure that the merit principle remains the dominant consideration for appointments to the Court.

Head's up: 2018 SEO is going to be a lot different than what we've experienced already. Is your site ready?
With the lightning speed at which some established internet writing protocols take place, it is even more important to keep up to date. Search engine optimization strategies have not escaped the sweeping tide of change. To not get left behind in 2017, here are a few of the latest trends which will make it into the New Year and dominate. You'll want to implement them without delay so that you can be easily discovered and continue to meet your goals in marketing your business.Hire Professionals to Produce Your Content
To obtain top quality, fresh, exciting and professional written content, many website owners have been seeking out the services of experienced SEO professionals to provide them with such content on a regular basis. You want to be able to consistently provide your audience with valuable content to keep them interested and of course rank well on the most popular search engines. Letting a professional handle this aspect of things takes the hassle off you and allows you to get your hands on content which can compete with the most successful websites out there.Optimize Your Website for Mobile Use
With more and more people being on the go, desktop searches have been eclipsed by searches via mobile devices. This makes it necessary for website owners to ensure that their sites are optimized for mobile use. A website which does not allow a seamless browsing experience is certain to lose viewership and business.E-commerce sites especially have to ensure that potential and existing customers can conduct their transactions smoothly and be encouraged to return. This adjustment is one which will extend beyond 2018, as with Google exploring mobile first indexing, it is clear that mobile is on the path to edge out desktop as the primary medium for searching.Accelerated Mobile Page Loading
With that being said about the future-leaning toward mobile, another thing site owners want to ensure regarding the loading of their websites on mobile devices is that the length of time is short. Interestingly, page loading time is something Google's algorithms make use of to rank the individual pages on a website.In fact, they have facilitated this further by introducing an initiative which allows mobile browsers to open and load web pages significantly faster. In loading faster, they also use a lot less data which makes mobile, more appealing for use by a lot more people. This highlights that in the scheme of things where SEO trends are concerned, Google does note the loading speed of websites as an important ranking factor. Make Wide Use of Visuals
SEO facilitates the use of a wide array of visuals to be included along with textual content. Not only do people generally respond better to content mixed with imagery and illustrations, but it is also widely known that images and videos leave a deeper impression. SEO can be applied to these features through appropriate labelling, tagging and descriptions which will also help with your site ranking and encourage more likes and shares (does not affect ranking) than plain text only content.Build Backlinks to Reputable SourcesGoogle uses the inclusion of backlinks from your site to reputable or authority sites as a means of establishing the credibility of your site. This in effect bears directly on your ranking on Google's search engine results pages (SERPS). From now into 2018, you will want to make wise choices to establish connections with only trustworthy sites to link with yours and also be careful not to just unleash a flood of them even if you happen to become so fortunate. Leverage Voice Search Options
In our fast-paced existence, an increasing number of people have been making use of the voice command capabilities of their mobile devices to conduct searches. Bearing this in mind regarding your SEO strategies, it is important to include the top keywords in a natural way in your content so that when people use spoken commands, it is likely that your page will be discovered.Try not to be too wordy, which means that complete sentences may not be your best bet. Instead of saying "Where can I find a good car wash?" a searcher may say "Lauderhill car wash". It is clear that with the current frequency with which voice commands are being used, they are poised to account for at least half of all web searches which will be conducted in the next 3 years, based on current research.The whole aim of SEO is to ensure that a site targets properly for the audience it wants to attract and of course ranks well with major search engines so that it can be discovered. To experienced continued success, staying current is not an option it is a necessity. With a properly optimized website, you will be able to achieve this and of course, continue to follow closely the ever-changing trends to maintain your competitive advantage.Written by:Sameer PanjwaniFounder & CEO of Mondovo

As the Sport of Golf Changes, a Modest Proposal
To the Sports Editor:
Re "At Muirfield, the World's Oldest Golf Club, Women Can Join. Finally" (March 14): It's satisfying to see another stronghold of discrimination against women in golf finally come around, but perhaps the name of the sport should also be changed, as it is supposed to be the acronym for Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden. Suggestion: GALB, Gentlemen And Ladies Both.
Orestes Varvitsiotes, Brooklyn
Education Before Football
To the Sports Editor:
Re "Chasing Big Sports Goals, Rutgers Stumbles Into a Vat of Red Ink" (March 12): With multimillion-dollar fitness centers and high-priced coaches, Rutgers University has allowed its overeagerness to fit in with its Big 10 colleagues to come at the expense of most students. As a Rutgers student, I have seen my peers struggle with annual tuition increases and unanswered appeals for financial aid.
At a time when education is becoming less financially accessible, Rutgers needs to establish itself as a leader by increasing investments in its students instead of in the athletic department's money pit.
A few suggestions: Increase need-based scholarships so graduates don't have to live in constant fear of defaulting on their student loans. Offer more scholarship opportunities for those who want to study abroad or take an unpaid internship but can't afford to do so. Create more academic scholarships across all fields to reward hard-working students who are excelling in their studies. Most important, don't forget that the purpose of college is to educate students and not to score touchdowns.
Courtney Han, New Brunswick, N.J.
The writer, a fourth-year student at Rutgers, is a major in both political science and journalism.
To the Sports Editor:
Re "Baylor's Pride Turns to Shame in Rape Scandal" (March 10): There ought to be a survey of women at the football-obsessed colleges. Yes, women only. Ask each how she feels about the troglodyte Baylor assistant coach who asked recruits if they liked white women and then said that the school had lots of them and that they loved football players.
Just ask the women, of any color, how they feel about being blandishments. Then publish the survey, and see if the faculty, administration or alumni reconsider the merits of revenue sports in college.
Stephen D. Craig, Charlotte, N.C.
Let Rugby Fans Sing
To the Sports Editor:
Re: "How a Slave Spiritual Became English Rugby's Anthem" (March 8): As a descendant of enslaved persons and a scholar who has published articles on slave songs, I have no objection to English rugby's adoption of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot."
Enslaved people used spirituals for other than spiritual purposes, such as passing on messages or keeping time on a work brigade. Contrary to popular belief, not all slaves were pious. Spirituals were also amended for political purposes during the civil rights movement. For example, the song "Woke Up This Morning With My Mind Stayed on Jesus" became "Woke Up This Morning With My Mind Stayed on Freedom."
Folk songs are owned by no one. Those that survive do so because they continue to have meaning. The meaning may change over time, and that is true in religious contexts as well. Spirituals that were religious in content but not specifically Christian were Christianized later on.
While it is strange and disorienting to hear the song sung by rugby fans at a match, I say, if it gives them joy, let them sing.
Wilma Bailey, Indianapolis
The writer is a professor emeritus at Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis.
No Shaving the Rules
To the Sports Editor:
Re "In Usual Style, Yankees Try to Groom a Prospect" (March 6): When my future husband proposed to me, I said yes, under one condition … that he shave off his mustache. It was gone in minutes. And he didn't have a $50 million contract with me. I thought it was all about the love of the game. And the rules that went along with it.
Kate Kors-Jacobon, Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y.
Noise Abatement Needed
To the Sports Editor:
Re "The Sounds Are Off, but the Knicks Still Manage to Make a Little Noise," (March 6): I applaud this experiment, or whatever you call it. I was appalled at the level of venue-inspired crowd noise when I attended a Boston Celtics game at TD Garden after not having been to a game in years. I couldn't understand why Celtics players appeared on the Garden's giant video screen to implore me to cheer. I know when to cheer. I can understand commotion effects after the home team makes a basket.
But to my surprise, there was an onslaught of music and drumbeats when players from either team simply dribbled the ball up the court. It was nonstop.
My ears rang mildly that night. I wrote to the Garden to say I would love to hear the ball being dribbled off the parquet floor or clang off the rim (as you can hear on TV). I never heard back.

On January 25, 1919, at the Paris Peace Conference, a resolution was passed, under which a decision was adopted to set up the League of Nations. A commission for preparation of the Court Statute was formed at the League of Nations. On December 13, 1920, the draft of the Court was approved at a meeting of the League of Nations, and a protocol for signing was prepared. The Statute of the Permanent Court of International Justice was not adopted at a meeting of the League of Nations, and it came into legal force only after signing and ratifying the Protocol of 13 December 1920 by the participating states. In the literature it was discussed which of the legal acts means the establishment of the Court. It was considered that it was the resolution of the League of Nations or Article 14 of the Statute of the League of Nations. D.Anziloti's opinion should be approved that an establishment act is a multilateral agreement, since it foresees that the Statute cannot be changed without consent of the states that ratified and joined it. The Court Statute was subdivided into three parts: Organization of the Court, Competence of the Court and Procedure. Quite a number of shortcomings of the Statute, especially those of procedure, were revealed in practice...

Psalm 1:1-3 AMPC
1 Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather.
2 But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night.
3 And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity].
Jeremiah 17:7-8 AMPC
7 [Most] blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is.
8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit.
Psalm 92:13-15 AMPC
13 Planted in the house of the Lord, they shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 [Growing in grace] they shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap [of spiritual vitality] and [rich in the] verdure [of trust, love, and contentment].
15 [They are living memorials] to show that the Lord is upright and faithful to His promises; He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

Meet Rebekah Stelzer!
Rebekah is a Gertrude Warner Awards winner for her middle-grade sword and stone fantasy, The Queen and the Knights of Nor. She loves her family, her writing, and her community. Read on to hear how one author started her fantastic journey!
Chanticleer: Tell us a little about yourself: How did you start writing?
Stelzer: I have been writing stories since around fourth grade. I struggled in my early elementary years with reading, but once I got it, I loved it and began making up my own stories. This became an invaluable skill as an Army brat. Being able to make up my own stories as I looked out the window during our cross-country moves helped pass the time before tablets and in-car DVD players.
Chanticleer: When did you realize you that you were an author?
Stelzer: I realized that I could be an author when I started writing down the bed-time stories I was telling my daughters. Writing after they went to bed gave me a creative outlet. During this time, my kids were really little and as a harpist, practicing was difficult because my kids wanted to play to harp with me or climb on the soundboard. Practicing after bed-time was not an option because I did not want to wake them up. Writing became a way for me to connect with the arts. I realized I loved writing, I loved editing, and I did not mind constructive criticism. But I really felt like an author when I held a book in my hands with my name on the cover. It was a wonderful feeling.
Chanticleer: I know the feeling! Nothing like holding the actual book in your hands and gazing at your name on the cover. Talk about genre. What genre best describes your work?
Stelzer: I love to talk about genre. Being a newbie in the writing field, I assumed that my writing was geared towards young adults, but my wise mother told me it was better suited to younger readers. With a little research, I discovered MIDDLE-GRADE fiction. I realized that many of my favorite books fall into this category and several of my favorite authors wrote to this audience. The Chanticleer Gertrude Warner Award helped me to narrow down my focus as well by helping me to define the genre that suited my work best. This allowed me to establish a framework and focus for my writing overall.
Chanticleer: What led you to write in this genre?
Stelzer: I feel that middle-grade fiction tends to be less angsty than young adult fiction and tackles more complex issues than children's fiction. I am drawn to the sense of hope that I have found in many middle-grade stories. It's a genre where authors can tackle some tough concepts, like homelessness as seen in Crenshaw by Kathrine Applegate, or loss and redemption like in The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis while balancing the seriousness of such topics with resilience.
The kids I know in this age group want to know things. They want to know what is going on in the world around them. They are trying to piece together reasons for why the world is the way it is. They then try to create solutions to the problems they see with an innocence and hope that is refreshing to me as a grown-up. I enjoy writing and telling stories with that sense of hope, that has a satisfying, but not always perfect "happily-ever-after" ending.
Chanticleer: That is really insightful. Do you find yourself following the rules or do you like to make up your own rules?
Stelzer: I definitely make up my own rules. My mom, who is always my first reader, makes sure I follow basic English and grammar rules, but as far as storytelling goes, I'm not very formulated in how I go about things.
Chanticleer: What do you do when you're not writing? Tells us a little about your hobbies.
Stelzer: As I said earlier, I am a harpist. At this point in my life, however, most of my time is spent homeschooling my daughters and taxiing them around to soccer, dance, harp lessons, and playdates. I also volunteer as a youth leader at my church.
Chanticleer: You are busy! How structured are you in your writing work?
Stelzer: I am not structured in many aspects of my life and that includes my writing. I will go months without doing much of anything with writing besides thinking about characters and plotlines, then spend every night for six weeks writing and editing. But I enjoy every minute of it.
Chanticleer: Cute kitty! Name five of your favorite authors and describe how they influence your work.
Stelzer: C.S. Lewis is hands down my favorite author. The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe was one of the first books to capture my imagination and get me hooked on reading. I really love Lewis' way of communicating very profound things in simple everyday ways. He also has a sarcastic bite to his writing that I greatly admire.
George MacDonald won my heart with The Princess and the Goblin, and The Lost Princess. Particularly with The Lost Princess, I saw how an author could weave important life lessons into an engaging and entertaining tale. Nesbitt's Enchanted Castle is so quirky, slightly strange, and completely imaginative. This work broadened my ideas of fantasy. Unlike Lewis who took the Pevensie children out of our world into another world, Nesbitt brought the magic to earth, and I loved that.
Rebecca Davis is the author of a biography entitled With Daring Faith, the story of the life and service of Amy Carmichael. Carmichael was a woman who did not back down even in the face of death. She learned that her perceived flaws were actually God-given gifts that helped her to save countless children from slavery and prostitution and provide them with shelter, food clothing, education and medical care. I learned through Davis' account, that each of us has something to contribute to our communities. Her retelling of Amy's courage has helped me to have courage, on a lesser scale, and to not give up when the way ahead seems blocked. I think that is a lesson every writer needs.
Jessie Sanders, author of the Grover Cleveland Academy series must be on this list. She was my childhood friend who, from the moment the question was asked of her, "What are you going to be when you grow up?" she responded, "An author, of course!" and never deviated from it.
When I began to look for publishers I reached out to her and she gave me great advice, and encouragement. It helped to know someone who had pursued writing and was succeeding in the field. She made the dream seem obtainable, and I am so grateful for that.
Chanticleer: That's an impressive list! What do you do in your community to improve/promote literacy?
The biggest contribution at the moment is teaching my kids to love reading! My oldest is writing her own stories now, my middle-daughter read her first chapter book this summer and my youngest is really getting excited about learning to read in kindergarten.
I have also had the privilege of encouraging a couple of young writers who are just beginning to pursue their dreams.
For the last two summers, I had the privilege of chaperoning a youth trip to NYC. On these trips, we assist a permanent organization that teaches English to immigrants for free. I love watching the adults we work with learn to read. They come from all backgrounds. This summer I was able to work with a man who was a doctor in his home country, and an older woman who had never gone to school. Teaching our adult students in New York is an amazing experience, but I get the double blessing of watching the teenagers I work with a weekly basis, teach others.
Chanticleer: What are you working on now? What can we look forward to seeing next from you?
I am currently in final edits on my second book Susa's Story, the prequel to my first work The Queen and Knights of Nor.
It follows Susa a young woman training to be a lady-in-waiting to the King's betrothed, but her loyalties are torn as she has promised to help her childhood friend Draka win the King's heart. In her quest to become queen, Draka along with Susa and their friend Loeta, partner with Graken, a dragon with immense powers. Graken guides the young women in the magic arts, but these lessons do not come without a price. Susa has some hesitations along the way but feels justified because she is helping her friend. Little does she know that the consequences of their actions will plague the kingdom for generations to come. As two of the women pursue their newfound powers with reckless abandon, one will lose all that she loves most.
In addition to editing, I'm learning about cover art, layout design, and formatting as I am going to indie publish this time around. I hope to release Susa's Story this fall.
Chanticleer: You parted ways with your publisher? How did that happen?
Stelzer: I parted amicably with my publisher in January. They were awesome in helping me to move over into an indie-type venture. They weren't sure what to do with me, never having published middle-grade and I didn't know about anything. So it was a clean split and I have nothing but good feelings towards them.
Chanticleer: That is truly the best of all worlds! Thank you for spending some time with us today, Rebekah. Best of luck with Susa's Story. We are looking forward to reading and talking about that!
If you love Middle-Grade Fantasy, you will absolutely be enthralled with R.L. Stelzer's work!
Pick up a copy of her award-winning book, The Queen and the Knights of Nor and write a review. Author's love reviews.

East Renfrewshire Fire & Rescue Partnerships
The Local Government Scotland Act 2003 introduced the concept of Community Planning, and imposes a duty on all fire authorities to participate in the Community Planning process as a 'statutory partner'. The principal requirements are to work with other partner agencies in the provision of better public services through a 'joined up' approach, and also to meaningfully engage with our communities to give them a say in service provision.
We play an active role within the Community Planning Partnerships in East Renfrewshire these include working and participating in the local Area Forums, Implementation Group and the Problem Solving Group.

European Central Bank Vice President Luis de Guindos said on Thursday that he took a very positive view of the European Union leaders' decision to name Christine Lagarde as the next president of the ECB.
"It is a very good choice. (She) is a person that has done a magnificent task at the International Monetary Fund," de Guindos said in an interview with Spanish radio RNE.
European Union leaders agreed on Tuesday to name France's Lagarde, currently head of the IMF, to replace Italian Mario Draghi as ECB president at the end of October, while choosing German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen as the new Commission president.

There are events and occasions wherein you need and prefer to give the Flower Delivery Singapore. The Florist Singapore can help you, but if you want your flower gifting more personal, unique, or fresher, turn to the local florist in Singapore. Here are some easy steps on how to buy from a local florist:
- Look for the local flower shop.
The local florist has her local flower shop Singapore where all the available flowers are offered. The shop is probably located across the street or in town. The market place may also have stalls for local flowers. If you need to send a gift of flower to a loved one in Singapore, look for the nearest florist in Singapore within your area.
- Check what the florist offers.
A wide range of flower selections are available in the local shop. You will find local and seasonal flowers from time to time. You may also find different gift items to add to the hand bouquet for a special flower gifting. Aside from the bouquets, there are hampers and baskets as well, and they are just perfect for any type of occasions and celebrations.
- Select the best arrangement.
Let the local florist help you pick the best flower arrangement for your flower gifting. For birthdays, anniversaries, romantic purposes, or holiday gifting, expect that the florist is always there to give you the most appropriate recommendation as long as you ask for help. Sending the gift of flowers does not really have to be complicated because any flower is just perfect. But with the local florist around to assist you, picking the best one to buy is easier.
- Choose a delivery service.
When you buy flowers to send, you may want the flowers to arrive within the day by choosing the same day flower delivery service. If you want the gift of flowers to arrive on a scheduled date, when you order ahead of time, set the delivery schedule and expect the flowers to come on that specific date. Make sure that you give complete details of the address where the Flower Delivery Singapore is to be delivered. Do not forget to include your contact number, just in case the florist can't find the address.
Sending and giving your loved ones or family or friends or co-workers the gift of flowers on special occasions is a thoughtful gesture. It is a good thing that there is a local florist who is always willing to help.

For nearly two weeks in Dhaka, movement around the city—which is always difficult because of the intense traffic congestion—has ground to a halt for other reasons. On July 29, a bus driver slammed into a group of school children, killing two and sending several others to the hospital. Immediately after the incident, students poured out of the schools and into the streets to protest.
For a while, normal activities ceased; no one could get to our building in the Rayer Bazaar neighborhood of Dhaka. In our immediate area it was quiet but at first I was told not to go out. We have had to cancel several programs because we were too close to protests for people to reach us. Students were stopping private vehicles and demanding that drivers take stranded travelers to their destinations. On the one occasion I did have to cross town, I arrived in record time as there were no buses and vastly fewer cars than usual on the streets, but there was also fear because of occasional outbreaks of violence. There have been reports of rubber bullets being fired and injured protesters being hospitalized.
However, many people seemed to feel the students were doing a good job controlling the traffic and that things were more orderly. The students have been organizing the traffic, insisting that people stay in straight lines (neither lanes nor traffic lights have yet taken off in Dhaka other than a few more organized parts of the city). They have demanded to see people's driving licenses, turning the driver over to the police in the frequent cases when a driver had none. Buses stopped plying the streets for several days and drivers without licenses also stayed home, but the protests continue as students clamor for their nine demands to be met.
Among their demands are: the death penalty for anyone killing someone in a road crash; the construction of a bridge or safe conditions for students to cross the streets near the site of the deaths; speed bumps where accidents are common; buses must stop when students signal; reduced fare for students; remove unfit cars; no driving without a license; and an apology from the Minister who reportedly smiled when he first mentioned the crash.
The students are not alone in their anger: Ask a hundred Dhaka residents what they like best about their city and you may get a hundred different responses. Ask them what they like least and probably all will say the traffic. Over the last few years, in addition to disgust with the ever-worsening traffic there is anger and grief at the ever-increasing road crashes and resulting injuries and deaths.
The students are young, and anger and grief lead people to demand solutions, but the quality of the solutions can depend on the level of understanding of the root causes of the problem: There is near universal acceptance of the dominance of streets by motorized vehicles; the request is that they move through the streets without killing people.
This approach is encapsulated in the common demand for road safety, which normalizes roads (and motor vehicles) as the main form of transport, shuttling other means into the insignificant category of "alternatives." I prefer the term "safe travels" which contains the idea that trams/rail, walking, cycling, and water transport can all be far safer than motorized vehicles on roads and highways.
Another problem with the focus on safe roads is that it ignores all the other problems associated with the use of motor vehicles in cities like Dhaka. Even if we could dramatically reduce road deaths through such means as speed bumps, it would do nothing to reduce the many other problems such as congestion, air pollution (which contributes to approximately 122,000 deaths a year in Dhaka according to some estimates), noise pollution, and the waste of money and urban space.
Solutions need to take into account existing evidence of what works and what doesn't. Take the idea of bridges for pedestrians to cross the street. There are multiple problems with that approach. Bridges can't be built everywhere; a few scattered around will give drivers the impression that the roads belong to them and that they needn't look out for pedestrians. It is important to look at the reason pedestrians die on the streets (on average one pedestrian dies each day in Dhaka and according to some estimates approximately 4000 pedestrians are killed per year in the country). A significant percentage are not crossing the streets, but rather walking along them due to damaged footpaths or blockage on them by parked cars, moving motorbikes, or construction waste. Others die while waiting, as were the students, for a bus.
A way to make it safer for pedestrians to cross is to make it clear through design and policy that pedestrians belong in the street and that it is vehicles which are invading our space, by having level crossings that cars must drive up and over. But a more radical solution does exist, and given the severity of the problems caused by cars and other motorized vehicles, it seems warranted—in fact, it seems the only possibility for a healthy future life and environment. This system of relying on motorized vehicles isn't working: It can take two hours to travel fewer than ten kilometers in Dhaka. Epic traffic jams regularly occur, with people reportedly spending 45-90 minutes at a single intersection.
We could end our obsession with motorized vehicles and instead promote non-motorized (what I prefer to call fuel-free) transport in cities with exceptions for trams, inter-city rail, and a few electric vehicles for emergency services such as ambulances and fire. More people walking and cycling would mean fewer crashes, less congestion, better health (fewer non-communicable diseases and less obesity), cleaner air, quieter cities, and more convivial, functional communities.
Big solutions are not easy. Neither is losing a loved one. Although I have a few quibbles with the students' nine-point demand, I empathize with their anger and desperate need to see a solution enacted. Many of those in Dhaka have lost a loved one through a road crash; I lost one of my interns, a university student in our car-free cities group. Virtually anyone who leaves their home suffers from the intense congestion that is a direct result of a car-based system. The millions of dollars the government spends on transport only aggravates the situation by prioritizing private motor vehicles which worsen the situation for efficient modes. If the government spent more on improving and facilitating public transit, walking, and cycling, all the space that is devoted to cars could give way to parks and other urban amenities; many existing playing fields are frequently taken over by car parking or temporary car sales.
The first step towards a city free of most motorized vehicles is to understand that such a solution is feasible and necessary. The goal should be to eliminate, not just reduce, road deaths. It is time to agree that, in a city in which it is quicker to walk than to travel by car, and that does not have a functional transport system, it's not only safer, but practical to get rid of (or dramatically reduce) the use of motorized vehicles.
Difficult? Yes. But surely not as difficult as continuing to mourn the senseless loss of young lives while getting stuck in endless traffic on our way to discuss solutions to the problem.

TERENCE William (Terry) Toms, who was born and passed much of his life in the hamlet of Middleton, has died.
Mr Toms was born in 1937. At the age of 15, he went to the building school at East Cowes having already decided to be a carpenter.
One of his early memories was of cycling daily, tools on his handlebars, to work in the private Catholic chapel at Weston Manor, which he found a memorable experience.
At 18, he was one of the last intake to do his National Service. He spent most of the two years on Salisbury Plain then, on being demobbed, he decided to work for himself.
It was a good decision, as such was his craftsmanship, he was always in demand. Much of his work is still visible around the West Wight, not least his final working months spent in restoring Dimbola Lodge.
Reticent by nature, on retirement he surprised his family by joining the West Wight Metal Detecting Club, finding a new passion and new friends.
Terry died peacefully at the Earl Mountbatten Hospice.
He leaves behind his wife Jan, a sister, a son and two daughters, a stepson and six grandchildren, plus a great granddaughter.
A funeral service will take place at the IW Crematorium at 12 noon on Wednesday, September 26, followed by refreshments at the Horse and Groom at Ningwood.
Donations to the Earl Mountbatten Hospice and Water Aid will be welcome.

Family Education has a wonderful section all about learning disabilities. While browsing through the site I came across an article entitled "Top Ten Tips for Parents Who Have a Child with LD." I wanted to pass this information on to you as I think it is quite valuable. I have listed the ten tips below.
- Learn all you can about the disability.
- Keep in contact with your child's teacher(s).
- Keep a profile of what your child does well.
- Help your child understand the effect the learning disability will have on him/her in school as well as socially.
- Help your child get organized.
- Involve your child in extra-curricular activities.
- Involve your child in helping someone else.
- Keep your expectations for your child high but realistic.
- Help your child learn to ask for what they need
- Join or form a group of parents with similar situations.
Looking at the above list, I am happy to report that I have managed to accomplish all but one of the tips. The last one, #10, is one that I have not done. I actually looked into forming an ADHD/LD support group at my son's school last fall. I made it as far as the PTA president, who wasn't very receptive. However, I do plan to give it another shot. To read the details associated with each tip, visit Family Education. And, while you're there, browse around their site a bit. They have a number of articles related to learning disabilites. They also have three pages full of free printables (covering numerous topics) available free of charge.

I LOVE it when a plan comes together! Mr. "T" had THAT right! When a 'plan' comes together, it's like being on a diet and finally reaching your goal…the plan comes together…the 'weight' is off! In the world of real estate the 'weight' that needs to come 'off' is stress. Stress will cause us to be off 'balance'…making decisions that can be counterproductive to your intended goal.
What causes stress when it comes to buying or selling your property? Lots of things! Questions about the market…is the market up, down or stable…TV…now THAT can really cause stress…the housing reports are not what you want to hear…but do they reflect the market in YOUR area? Stress can be caused by something as simple as a comment from a friend or a neighbor or a television commentator.
When it comes to buying and selling, a full time professional realtor can help ease your 'stress'…your fears. We will give you information about the market in your particular area. An accurate picture of YOUR market area will go a long way in easing your stress. We can 'balance' the information by coming up with a marketing plan that is right for you!
Mr. "T" knows how to make a plan come together! The full-time professionals realtors at John Rea Realty may not be Mr. "T"… BUT we KNOW how to make your plan come together!

Well, I haven't blogged for a while but I have been busy changing lenses and downsizing my collection. I've been trying to focus on selling on lenses that I rarely use in the pursuit of a small collection of lenses that serve a specific purpose – and that actually get used.
To this end I've started to sell on my much-loved Tamron Adaptall SP series lenses – the SP 400mm f4 and 300mm f2.8 are no more – in favour of a Canon New FD 500mm f4.5L. For a casual wildlife lens when travelling light I'm using a Canon New FD 100-300mm f5.6L – which has a pretty decent macro feature between 100-200mm on my Sony A6000. For a walkaround lens I am using a Tamron SP 24-135mm on my Sony A7ii.
If I am out specifically to shoot wildlife / nature, then I take the Canon New FD 500mm f4.5L on my Sony A6000 and my Canon New FD 200mm f4 Macro on my Sony A7ii.
I have a 14mm Sigma wide angle, which I've hardly used, but is a nice option for ultra-wide photography. I also still have my Tamron Adaptall SP 80-200mm f2.8 LD and SP 180mm f2.5 – both of which I am considering selling. I have also added a Canon New FD 80-200mm f4L to my collection (for the second time, my first copy had a focusing issue that made macro work very difficult).
My lens collection has moved away from Tokina SD / AT-X and Tamron Adaptall SP / LD lenses towards Canon L series lenses simply because the performance of the Canon is unbeatable in my opinion. Whilst I believe the Tokina and Tamron lenses are very, very capable lenses, their low or super low dispersion elements just do not work that well on digital sensors. The Canon UD and fluorite elements do. That is the difference.
I'll be out shooting more with L series lenses soon – including using a properly working 80-200mm f4L – and will have to decide whether to move on my remaining Tamron SP glass. I'll update all reviews when I get the chance.

Heat and pressure are applied to consolidate the preform. The filamentary material is silicon carbide, silicon-carbide coated boron, boroncarbide coated boron, titanium-boride coated silicon carbide or silicon-coated silicon carbide.
Method of manufacturing carbon fibre-reinforced carbon elongated structural components Takahashi, S. (Kant0 Yakin Kogyo KK, Japan) LiS Put 5 II2422 (I2 May 1992) A number of square tubes are prepared by winding carbon fibres round a mandrel such that the fibres frequently cross each other. The tubes are then impregnated with thermohardening adhesives. The tubes are then arranged parallel to each other in a block and aramid fibres with a negative linear thermal expansion coefficient are wound snugly round the block. The whole is then heated so that the aramid fibres shrink to fasten the blocks together and the adhesives are carbonized. Finally, the block is cut into pieces of the desired configuration.
Investment casting of metal matrix composites Cook, A.J. (PC&t Equipment Corporation, Pittsburgh. PA. USA) US Put 5113925 (I9 May-1992) A mixture comprising a liquid flow medium, binding agent and reinforcement is formed in the desired shape of the composite and is allowed to solidify. The body is disposed within a container and encased in investment material. The whole is then heated such that any water evaporates and the flow medium is removed. after which the remaining reinforcement and binder are sintered to form a solid preform.

USA) US Pat 5 I20580 (9 June 1992) At least one mass of filler is Aoated on a pool of molten parent metal. This metal reacts with an oxidant to form an oxidation reaction product which grows into and at least partially embeds the filler. The reaction temperature is maintained so that the metal is drawn through the filler and reaction product, thereby maintaining an oxidation reaction front within the filler body. The resulting composite is removed from the pool of molten metal before it receives substantial support from the container holding the pool of molten metal.

This beef chuck roast recipe is SO tender and juicy. It is perfect for your Sunday dinner ideas or weeknight meal plans!
How long do you need to cook an Instant Pot Beef Roast?
The Instant Pot uses high pressure to cook. This significantly cuts down on cooking time, while still delivering tender beef.
You will need 20 minutes per pound. Depending on the size of your roast, you can adjust accordingly.
How to Thicken Pot Roast Gravy
You can make the beef gravy right in the Instant Pot while the pot roast rests!
One of the best ways to thicken a sauce is to simply make a mixture of liquid and cornstarch, also known as a cornstarch slurry.
How to make the perfect gravy for pot roast, step by step:
- Remove the meat from the Instant Pot and set aside. Now it's time to turn all that delicious liquid into a sauce!
- Discard thyme and rosemary sprigs.
- Skim the top of the liquid with a ladle and scoop out any excess fat.
- Place 2 Tbsp. of corn starch into 1/2 cup of beef broth and stir to combine.
- Slowly pour the slurry into the Instant Pot.
- Stir the mixture for 5 minutes or so (keep the Instant Pot on so the liquid remains hot).
- After 5 minutes or so the sauce will thicken a bit and become more 'gravy-like' in texture. Pour the sauce into a serving bowl after it has thickened a bit and turn the Instant Pot off.
What is a slurry?
A slurry is just a mixture of cornstarch and water. Simply mix 2 Tbsp. of corn starch with 1/2 cup of water or beef broth and drizzle it into the slow cooker. Stir until the chili has thickened to the consistency you like.
Recipe Tips for Cooking Instant Pot Beef Roast
- It's important to let the pressure release naturally after 70 minutes so leave it for another 20 minutes or so after cooking.
- Feel free to release the vent after 20 minutes. This will release any extra steam and allow you to open the lid. The pot roast is now finished!

Emerging Technologies Marketers Should Prepare For and How
2016 has been dubbed "The Year of Mobile" by many — a quick Google search proves just how many have given this year that title. And although I didn't conduct that particular search on a mobile device, the majority of Google searches are taking place on the small screen. Marketers are now tasked with figuring out how to make mobile work. Regardless of whether it's a video, blog post or email, the content needs to work the same everywhere.
"They (marketers) have to think through what the consumer experience will be on these smaller devices," explains Fred Steube, senior director of emerging technology at Cox Target Media/Valpak — a company that provides print, mobile and online advertising solutions and coupons through a network of 160 local franchises across the U.S. and Canada.
The consumer move to mobile devices is also affecting marketers in a different way. According to Steube, it's setting the stage for new technologies such as:
Wearable Technology
Both mobile phones and wearables are portable devices. Wearables communicate with your mobile device through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
"It's a great way to present a promotional message that can improve someone's life," says Steube.
However, it'll be up to marketers to figure out ways to take their brand's promotional message and distribute it in a way that takes advantage of wearables — whether that means using location technology or social media.
And once all these devices are connected and "talking" to each other, that leads into the next emerging technology.
The Internet of Things
Steube gives an example of how the Internet of Things (IoT) could work in the future using General Motors.
"If one of the sensors in their vehicles shows it's got a low tire or you need a tire change, there's an opportunity for marketers to serve up a promotional message — whether it's a coupon or whether it's a branding message — for that consumer to go to the nearest dealer to save money and have that low tire fixed or that oil change immediately."
The IoT has the ability to connect brands to customers in more relevant and personalized ways. However, Steube says, it may not be easy from the start.
"Some of the issues will be, 'How do I as a marketer handle all these new channels?,'" he explains. But, fear not — Steube has some advice for marketers on how to navigate disrupting technologies.

Talking to Joe and Nathan on Off The Ball, the Reading defender admitted that he would be gutted if he didn't make the final cut for the Ireland squad heading to France.
After getting on the scoresheet as his Reading side ran out 3-1 winners over West Brom in the FA Cup on Saturday, McShane revealed that he was hoping that he was still in the picture for Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane when they were making their final selection for the European Championships.
1 - Paul McShane has scored his first FA Cup goal since January 2007, in which he scored for West Brom v Leeds. Leveller.
— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) February 20, 2016
"I know when Martin and Roy first took over, I was playing with Hull at the time and then I got a really bad ankle injury and I was out for three months. I remember Martin and Roy ringing me and wishing me all the best [...] and then the lads that played in the summer did really well and I found myself out of the picture".
He added that although he was able to force his way back in, he was once again ruled out through injury for the playoff against Bosnia: "I was sick because it was a big playoff game and I definitely wanted to be involved".
However, despite that set back, he added that "I'm still in the fight, I'm still playing and I'm still available, so never say never. It's definitely an aim of mine to get to the Euros and that's my ambition, but I know there's going to be a lot of disappointed people and that's the nature of the beast. I'm just hoping that I can get on the plane".
Having been to Euro 2012, McShane admitted that the experience was not the same as it has been this time around under the new management team, and the last time out was a difficult experience given the high quality of the opposition they faced.
McShane was clear that he knew he needed to just concentrate on his football to force his way back into the team, but that he would be very disappointed not to make the team when it's finally announced.
"It's out of my control at the end of the day and the manager has a big job ahead of him to name the 23. Whatever happens I'll be supporting the team no matter what, but I will be disappointed, 100% [if I don't make the squad]".
It appears as though McShane is not the only Ireland defender who is looking to return to the squad for the Euros either, after reports on Sunday suggested Damien Delaney may be reconsidering his decision to retire from international football.
