Bewilder Box Escape Room! Use code 'XYZSPOOKY' when booking for 20% discount!
Seeking something out of the ordinary for your work Christmas party? Fancy doing something different for that stag or hen do that you are planning? Maybe you just want to have a great day out with your mates?…
Then look no further! Bewilder Box is an exciting and immersive group activity that everyone in Brighton should try. Imagine if the Crystal Maze met Secret Cinema and you are part of the way towards understanding the wonders within this escape room.
Don't forget to use the code 'XYZSPOOKY' when booking for 20% discount!
We spoke to the geniuses behind Bewilder Box to find out more about what you can expect…
What is an escape room?
An escape room is a bit like the Crystal Maze. It's basically a team based activity in which you and your mates have to solve real puzzles and complete challenges within an allotted time period. It's good for friends, families, team building, stag and hens, that kind of thing. There's over 800 of them in the UK now, so if you haven't tried one, you probably should!
What sort of experience can our readers expect to have at Bewilder Box?
Bewilder Box provides a bit of a twist on the traditional escape room format in that we combine it with immersive theatre. So not only are you solving puzzles, you'll also be interacting with characters, walking around a science fiction set and taking part in an interactive storyline featuring Hugo Myatt, aka Tregard of legendary 80's TV gameshow, Knightmare.
Can you give away anything about the game's storyline?
The Bewilder Box assessment (which as new recruits, you will be taking) is the ultimate test of brain power, cooperation, leadership, logic and strategy. The Bewilder Box Assessment was created by a brilliant and enigmatic man; Dr Benjamin Wilder Snr in hope of finding the best candidates to rebuild the world in case of a total global catastrophe.
The Doctor, however mysteriously vanished mere weeks after its inception. The Bewilder Box has now reopened – do you think you have what it takes to succeed? Can you discover what happened to Dr Wilder? You have 60 minutes to find out.
What kind of characters dwell inside Bewilder Box?
Well first of all you'll be collected by one of several employees of the Bewilder Box Initiative – you might meet Dr Ridley the mad scientist or Barry the cockney Quantum-mechanic. We also have the eccentric father-son duo Dr Wilder Jnr & Snr, and our personal favourite D.A.V.E. the dim-witted but ultimately quite lovely super-computer who provides players with hints throughout the game.
What sort of challenges can we expect to face once inside?
Each of the puzzles you encounter will be entirely different. Some will require you to use your brain, others your eyes, your ears and even your nose to succeed. Each time you solve a puzzle you'll receive a clue, code or item that will help you progress through the room. It's all very tactile, we've built every puzzle from scratch.
What's the fastest that anyone has completed the challenge?
The current record is 33:54 by a team of 4 recruits who actually came from another Escape Room (Escapement in Margate). That is exceptionally fast though, most people get out with just a few moments to spare.
What has inspired the design and overall themes inside Bewilder Box?
We are both huge fans of video-games and sci-fi (with a particular love of 80's films and shows), so you will see a lot of influence from these areas. There's also loads of cheeky little movie Easter eggs littered throughout the game which some of the more keen eyed recruits might be able to spot.
We were very luck to get Hugo Myatt from Knightmare for this game, and Norman Lovett (Holly from Red Dwarf) for our new game which is opening in January 2018. Both of those shows were massive when we were kids and were also a big influence.
What can we do to prepare ourselves?
We always give teams a few helpful tips prior to the game – prepare to search thoroughly, make sure you write down anything you feel will be important and above all communicate with each other! Oh and don't get too drunk. A glass or two of brain lubrication can do wonders….but too much will definitely hinder you.
Any words of wisdom to give to those who are assembling a team right now?
There is a little bit of everything at Bewilder Box, so you don't have to worry if you think one person might not have the skills – there is something for everyone!
Finally, sum up Bewilder Box in 3 words for us.
Exciting. Immersive. Mysterious

"Prayer and patience," are two things that T.I. looks to when dealing with his daughters and dating. It's no secret that Tip has encountered his fair share of troubles, but through each situation he's kept his family first. The position of father tends to put a guy in a certain spot when dealing with their baby girls and who they may bring home.
The Atlanta man talks to Arsenio Hall and mentions although, the government has taken his guns away, he still has a hold of things. LOL! T.I. also offers the audience some pointers on discipline, the sex talk, and social media. Check out the highlights down bottom.

I have just joined in here, because I need some support. I have been told that the pain I have been suffering with for the past 18 years was not necessary and there was no reason for it and that it is simply a muscle imbalance not genetic malformation of my spine as I was told. AMAZING news, my husband says I should be happy and I am! I have ridden he roller coaster of emotions and received treatment that is very painful to help relieve the "new" pain that was created by trying to protect myself form the "old" pain but is inflaming the "old" pain and creating new new pains and migraine headaches......feeling a little crazy, sad, mad, but mostly very afraid. I realized I have come to define myself by my lack of abilities(caused by pain) and that if there was "no reason" for the pain who am I? I had resigned myself to a life with pain and I feel overwhelmed by trying to gain my life back. I have to go through MORE pain to get back to that life and I don't feel strong enough to do it on my own. So thank you for having a place where I can share my journey and understand I am not alone. Trying to find my way through the maze of fear and pain. I have created some plans to try to help me MOVING forward that I said I would share here. Everyday goals -2L water, 20 min walk, 15 min stretch, salad for lunch. I will post here about my journey through my fear.
Hi @ptink, we're glad that you found us and are so honest and open about sharing your story. Please know that you are not alone—we hear stories like yours often. It is really good that you have found the root cause of your pain. We're excited to hear your new discoveries as you go through this journey. We're sure that you CAN do it—even though you feel afraid, know that it's totally normal. But it sounds like you are on the right track to lessening your fear.
We often like to celebrate our "small victories"—for example, you might not have done the vacuuming but you swept the kitchen today. It sounds like you are doing the same with your goals. Good on you for recognizing this! It sounds like you are adjusting your routine based on your needs and body—making it work for you, that's great!
Please let us know if we can offer you any resources or answer some questions beyond this forum. Our Live Plan Be website and Pain BC website have tons of resources for all kinds of questions. Take care.
So.....physio today. Scared. didn't stretch or eat salad for lunch...LOL seems meaningless. readjusted to separate walking and stretching so I can claim some success. walking is less scary. adjusted salad to with/for dinner or lunch to make easier. Drank my water though.

We've made it. At the end of a crazy week (finishing our interim courses and stories), we loaded what felt like most of our belongings into my car and, yesterday, headed to Taos, New Mexico.
The closer we got, the more beautiful the drive.
We left home around 10:30 and arrived in Taos a little after 6:00 (we stopped for lunch in Roswell). The casita we are renting was built by our host by hand and took two years. The details are unique and beautiful.
There's a little garden with an outdoor kitchen.
The ceilings and cabinets are made of cedar. The owner even made the bed!
The bathroom is my favorite part.
And there's a little laundry room:
We'll be calling the casita home for the next month. Our goal was to find a quiet place to write and to be able to get out in nature (it's typically in the 70s during the day and the lows at night are in the 40s). We're looking forward to exploring Taos and nearby (about 1.5 hours away) Santa Fe. If you have any recommendations, please send them our way!
Last night, we had prosecco and snacks for dinner.
I was so tired that I found myself asleep by 9pm (10pm our time but still).
After a brunch at Gutiz and some errands this morning, we've had a quiet afternoon. I'm still adjusting to the altitude but hopefully will acclimate soon.
Happy June dear readers. We hope you are having fun adventures this weekend!

Across Minnesota, employers are worried about the shortage of job candidates with the necessary skills and abilities to enter high-demand occupations.
For more and more employers, the answer to addressing this skills gap is to use the centuries-old apprenticeship training system that combines on-the-job learning with formal classroom instruction to train workers for today's more complicated, technical jobs.
Employers use apprenticeship programs to recruit, train and retain a more highly skilled, diverse and inclusive workforce that suits their business needs. For their part, apprentices earn livable wages that increase with training while they learn and practice related skills and workplace safety. When they complete their apprenticeships, workers are given a nationally recognized certification attesting to their mastery of skills, just as college graduates receive diplomas.
Today, nearly 200 active registered apprenticeship programs in high-growth, high-demand industries, such as advanced manufacturing, construction, health care, utilities and transportation, are training apprentices in Minnesota. The programs have more than 11,250 registered apprentices, including more women, minorities and veterans than ever before. Each program offers apprentices a clear career path from unskilled learner to expert craftsperson.

Helpful Tips for Contractors
To be the best you have to learn from the best. Every successful contractor possesses the same traits and habits that lead to the success of their business. Below we break down some helpful tips for contractors that can lead their business to success.
Be a Business Person
Sure, you're a contractor; but you're actually more than that. You run a business so you have more to be responsible for than just the trade in which you're skilled. If you're a contractor, you'll have to put some focus into marketing, finance, human resources, payroll, sales, and much more.
Online Marketing
In our digital era, online marketing is powerful. If your business is not online, it doesn't exist. Sure you do the standard marketing tactics like printing your company on commercial vehicles or posting ads, but you'll also need an online presence. You can use the internet to connect with customers, promote your company website, handle customer service issues, and network in groups with interests relevant to your business.
Provide On-going Training
There's always something new to learn. Styles and trends evolve. Or there may be new equipment on the market or a new way to do an old task. Stay up to date with these changing trends and be sure to train your employees as well. This will keep you ahead of the market and make you seem like you're in touch with what's going on in the industry.
Create and Fun Work Culture
It's natural for people to dislike their job. Most people hope for a life that requires minimum work and more time for leisure. You don't want to exacerbate these attitudes by creating an unpleasant work environment. When employee morale is high, the work is better. Try to find ways to keep things interesting at work.
Outsource when necessary
No one person can do everything. We all have things that we're good at; and places where we struggle. Maybe you're skilled in carpentry but you know nothing about electricity. Sometimes contractors need to hire subcontractors to do the jobs where their skills lack.
Reliable Insurance
There's no doubt that accidents will occur in the construction business. There is the chance that equipment or property can be damaged or stolen; a customer or employee can experience a bodily injury; or someone can rear-end your commercial vehicles. Issues like these can be expensive to fix and cause financial ruin to a business. To protect your company and your assets, it's best to get Contractors Insurance. This insurance will protect your business from lawsuits or costs related to damage, injury, malfunctioning equipment, and theft. SkyBlue Insurance is an authorized representative for the top Contractors Insurance providers in the country. If you need Contractors Insurance, give us a call at 1-800-771-7758. You can also get instant results by requesting a Contractors Insurance quote for free!
These helpful tips for contractors are ways to get the most out of your business. If you want to run a successful contractor business, do everything you can to make your business stand out.

Main picture: St Mary's monument dedicated to unifying the nation when King James the Sixth of Scotland also became King James the First of England in 1603. It was originally located on the north wall of the church after Sir John St John, who inherited Lydiard Tregoze and other family estates in Wiltshire, elevated his position by buying a baronetcy from King James for £1,092 pounds (about £100,000 today).
In the 19th Century it was placed over the hidden cross high above the chancel arch, over wall paintings which had been painted over centuries previously. In the early 20th Century it was moved again and mounted on the Jacobian era screen which was built between 1630 to 1640.
The conservation has seen repair of damaged elements, including giving the unicorn a new horn.
The Heritage Lottery funded Stage 2 of the internal conservation of the Church in the Park is complete and can be viewed by the public every Friday until 29 November, 11am to 3pm, as well as Saturdays and Sundays throughout the year (subject to steward availability).
For months the interior of the church has been shrouded in three levels of scaffolding and screening to allow conservators to get close to ancient wall paintings in a poor condition and painted over in the past. The disruption did not prevent St Mary's continuing to open as a place of worship. The congregation dressed the pews and scaffolding with ivy and fairy lights to give a magical quality to the several weddings that have taken place during the time the walls and ceiling have been hidden from view.
The work was carried out by internationally renowned conservator Jane Ruthrfoord and colleagues. They were joined during ten weeks of the summer by 14 student trainees – selected from some 300 applicants - who travelled to Swindon from the UK, all over the Europe, the USA and Australia. Ten countries were represented.
Visitors can now stand in the doorway of the South Porch as pilgrims did in the past, below a remarkable wall painting of Jesus Christ depicted as a very modern metrosexual. You and look across to the wall paintings on the north wall of the Nave which include Thomas Becket and St Christopher and newly discovered 13th Century patterned wall painting. You will see the newly discovered niche in which there was a statute of St Christopher.
When opening up this niche Jane discovered part of a stone head which was most probably part of the St Christopher statue - pictured. Then turn around and look at the conserved Christ the Crown of Thorns wall painting in which the representation of Christ has been described as unique.
St Mary's, which has seen continuous Christian worship over 1100 years, received £615,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund towards the £901,605 to conserve its gorgeous interiors. Apart from conserving the significant medieval wall paintings, work included conserving the 17th Century monuments, ancient carved woodwork and star spangled ceiling. The HLF grant and support from other grant making bodies will also enable the church to carry out environmental and accessibility, re-opening the hidden south porch and creating a welcoming interpretation and activity area.
Opening times to view the Stage 2 internal conservation work
Fridays to 29th November, 11 am – 3pm.
Saturdays and Sundays: 11am - 4pm (including Sunday morning worship), throughout the rest of the year - subject to the availability of stewards.

New Delhi has detailed that it will split state-owned Air India into four companies and offer at least 51% in each for sale, as part of its divestment plan for the airline.
In a televised interview with BloombergQuint, minister of state for civil aviation Jayant Sinha, says that Air India and its low-cost subsidiary Air India Express will form the core airline business. The other three units are regional carrier Alliance Air, MRO operator Air India Engineering Services and ground handler Air India Air Transport Services.
"We are creating the airline and its subsidiaries to have a much more efficient and cleaned up structure that will be available for sale."
In addition, New Delhi will pass Air India's "unsustainable debt" of over Rs500 billion ($7.6 billion) "through two filters".
The government will first assign all debt linked to airline-related operational assets such as aircraft, hangars and equipment for maintenance to the four respective units. Thereafter, remaining debt will be put in a special purpose vehicle.
Sinha says New Delhi is expected to call for Expressions of Interest (EOI) in the four units by the first week of February.
"Interested parties will then have 60 days to answer the EOI, and we will shortlist them and then they can put in a formal bid."
The bid evaluation process will take between six to eight months, and operations of the respective units will then be legally transferred to the winning bidders by the end of the year.
So far, low-cost giant IndiGo has made public its interest in acquiring Air India's international operations as well as Air India Express, while Vistara's interest has also been widely reported. Indian aviation services firms Livewel Aviation and Bird Group have meanwhile expressed interests in AIATS.

The Burning is a regional worship gathering where the heartbeat is to create an environment where people have radical encounters with the presence of God. While the main focus is worship, there is always a release of the prophetic along with a grace to contend for healing and miracles. The only agenda for this service is to behold Him and therefore become like Him. This service does not have a set time to end. Instead we go as long as we feel there is the grace to contend for what God is doing at that moment. Because of this format we cancel the following Sunday service and encourage our people to make this a day with their family.
Inspire People to Encounter God
Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!" Revelations 5:13

| 11.8°C Belfast
Google is rolling out its Expeditions kits to schools in Ireland and the UK, enabling students to see the world without leaving the classroom.
The kit is made up of Google Cardboard VR headsets and compatible smartphones, a tablet, a wireless router, and a designated app. These in tandem enable teachers to bring up to 50 students at a time to see sights like the Great Barrier Reef and the Taj Mahal, or experience things landing on the Moon.
"With Expeditions, Google aims to help students explore the whole world right from the comfort of their classroom desks" company spokesman Patrick Lenihan said. "The Pioneer Program brings Google Expeditions right to students and teachers so they can take trips anywhere from the Great Barrier Reef to the bottom of the Grand Canyon."
The app comes preloaded with panoramic images from 220 locations. The teacher controls what the students see using the tablet, which is wirelessly connected to the smartphones held by the Google Cardboard viewer.
Google Expeditions is in a pilot phase and has been rolled out in the US, Canada, Mexico, and Sweden. Ireland has become the latest country for the programme to be rolled out in.
Google Expedition programme demonstrators will be visiting schools in Dublin and Belfast over the next two weeks to train teachers in how to use the kit and to show off its capabilities.

We are involved in various funding programs to ensure the continuing development of KIWI products.
We are involved in various funding programs to ensure the continuing development of KIWI products.
KIWI launches the third innovation project in 2019, funded by the Pro FIT program of Investitionsbank Berlin. KIWI has already completed two successful projects as part of the Pro FIT program. As a result of the last project, the KIWI Smart Lock was launched in November 2016, a solution for the keyhole and touchless opening of apartment doors.
KIWI has been awarded a six-figure grant to implement the project called "Development and Commercialization of Open KIWI Platform". The goal of the project is to extend the KIWI platform with additional features and, above all, to open them up to third parties, so that a wide variety of user groups can assign access rights to KIWI doors via their own software interfaces. An application example would be a craftsman portal, which allows the execution of orders for the corresponding doors for the execution of orders. The project is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund [ERDF].
In addition to front entrance and basement doors, KIWI can also provide keyless and contactless entry to apartment doors. To develop the necessary technology, KIWI received more than one million euros from the Pro FIT program run by the Investitionsbank Berlin (IBB), which is financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
For the project entitled "A secure solution for contactless opening of apartment doors (in addition to the successful KIWI solution for front entrance doors)" and with the assistance of the funding consultancy förderbar, KIWI has received funding since August 2015, comprising a loan of 910,000 euros and a subsidy of 170,555 euros.
KIWI's developers conducted tests to establish which smart lock system works with the KIWI system and identify potential partners. Prototypes were then developed, built, and tested in the next phase. User experiences were extensively gauged and analyzed beforehand in order to optimally adapt the KIWI apartment door solution to the needs of the users. The result, the KIWI Smart Lock, was launched onto the market in November 2016.

Project description
The Global City Project explores the relations between cities and global normative frameworks now and in the seventeenth century. Our aim is to understand how global values and norms are constructed and reproduced within global cities, among global cities and between global cities, governments and international institutions.
Today, like four hundred years ago, globalisation and urbanisation impact cities around the world. Both developments affect everyday life within the city as well as the role and position of the city in the world. Cities have always been drivers of globalisation, while at the same time these global developments have challenged city governments and their citizens in multiple ways. While their residents show great diversity in social, economic, political, religious and ethnic backgrounds, recurrent questions are: 'how to live together?' and 'how to create an urban culture of respect and trust?' These questions have a legal dimension as well. The aim of the project is to grasp what role law can play in the cultivation of such a culture.
In the seventeenth century, the global role of cities and city-based companies contributed to a normative discourse, which drew on different bodies of law, including natural law and the emerging law of nature and nations, ius naturae et gentium. In the discussion, it was a source of normative guidance. Today, international law has developed into a global body that includes human rights values, principles, and obligations to which cities increasingly relate directly, in cases bypassing the governance level of the national state.
The Global City Project is divided into four individual PhD studies, examining the past and the present of the global city. Together, the studies will address a number of related themes: diversity, migration and trade (including the slave trade); political participation and citizenship; the role of law, fundamental rights and duties as a possible source of trust in the global city of the past and present; and, the role and position of the global city in the international (legal) order of the past and present.
The 4-year project started in September 2016 and is funded by the Gieskes-Strijbis Fonds. It is conducted at the T.M.C. Asser Instituut.

Names in the hat for the top job at HSBC, part II
Tomorrow's Business
What sort of candidate will land the top flak job at HSBC? Our missive yesterday brought several, conflicting, responses.
Some argue: 1) It looks like being an insider, because the bank is inward looking. 2) It will probably be an outsider, because the bank realises it needs to change.
The "outsider" camp argue that the successful candidate, aside from some sharp elbows, will need to have: Experience in Asia; Time in the top job at a FTSE company; Patience. They are also likely to be someone known to the board, goes this theory.
One flak says: "The approach has been somewhere between defensive/non-responsive so it'll take someone with patience to guide them gently into being a more open and proactive PR outfit…nothing happens overnight there."
Another observer offers: "I hope they go for a change of approach. I think it would serve them well and it almost feels like a responsibility; if you are big enough that your collapse could affect the global economy then it's only right that you engage and put yourself up to public scrutiny."
Some runners and riders and some odds that we have entirely made-up. We make the insiders all the same 6/1 shot, just so they don't get too cross.
An insider is the way to bet. An insider tells me.
Insiders 6/1 Patrick Humphris – Head of Comms Asia-Pacific 6/1 Lucy Yurek - Head of Retail Bank Comms 6/1 Morgan Bone - Global Head of External Comms
Outsiders 8/1 Fiona Laffan – formerly of Goldman Sachs and Lloyds 10/1 Andrew Walton – Lloyds (recent arrival) 12/1 Jon Tracey – Standard Chartered 15/1 Hugh Fraser – Morgan Stanley 18/1 John McIvor – Bank of America 20/1 Chris Turner – RBS

Taylor Swift gives good Insta. Fact.
Kim Kardashian has been knocked off her throne as Queen of Instagram after just 16 days – by none other than Taylor Swift.
Tay Tay is now the most followed person in the world with over 45.7million fans eagerly anticipating her next insta post.
Kim overtook former Insta Queen Beyonce less than three weeks ago, before Taylor took the title yesterday. It was a brief, but no doubt selfie-filled, reign for Kimmy K.
So just why is Taylor is the most popular person on Insta? Here's 5 reasons why
1) Squad goals
We all know that Taylor is BFF to every single female celebrity around (well, except for Katy Perry) and her famous friends always appear in her snaps. From partying with Cara Delevingne to throwing a baby shower for Jamie Bell Taylor makes us want to be in her girl gang. Plus, she shares so much love for her gal pals she reminds us exactly how important friendship is. Hoes before bros ladies, remember that.
3) Love goals
We're so pleased that things appear to be going from strength to strength for Taylor and beau Calvin Harris and we love to see their romance play out for ourselves. From confirming their romance with a floating swan (I mean if that wasn't the best insta post of the year, I don't know what is!) to sharing a super sweet snap of Calvin giving her a piggy back and captioning it 'friendly relations between Scotland and America'. Each snap makes us swoon and fall just a little bit more in love with the pair of 'em. Plus she's hella funny too.
Nothing melts our hearts than cute cat snaps and Taylor has two adorable kittens for us to coo over. Meredith and Olivia are quite the characters and are becoming pretty famous in their own right and they've even made cameos on Calvin's page too.
5) Fan love
Occasionally Taylor gives a shout out to a loyal Switfie – like when she posted a snap of a jumper a fan had made (see above). Taylor wrote: 'Someone knitted this sweater for me of a Polaroid of myself and gave it to my mom tonight at the show. It has very quickly become my everything. Thank you, mysterious knitter.' The picture, which also showed Taylor on a badass jet, got over 1.9million likes and made the knitter famous! Jadda was even interviewed by buzzfeed. That is the power of the Swift.
5) Her Throwbacks are epic
She might be a huge megastar now but Taylor hasn't forgotten her humble roots. Like when she posted a picture of her early career – stood on a small stage with no crowd. She had her own banner though.

China's vision of a global energy system overemphasises the benefits of connectivity. Planners and investors also have to consider the potential impacts on biodiversity and local community livelihoods from different power generation methods and find ways to prevent them.
Ignoring cross border impacts of large infrastructure projects will spark conflict along rivers, argues Peter King. National level environmental impact assessments that ignore cross border impacts are likely to create conflict between countries.
Peat areas have played a pivotal role in conflicts globally, and have also been a point of contention during post-conflict recovery. Communities in Southeast Asia as well as in the countries of the Congo are facing challenges as finding political solutions for this problem.
As Day Zeroes are becoming commonplace across the world, India needs to prepare itself for its worst-ever water crisis by establishing a network of water policies and programmes, ranging from community engagement to multilateral/bilateral collaboration.
The EU's decision to phase out palm oil biodiesel is likely to backfire, with negative repercussions not just on the countries concerned but also on international relations and the climate. The EU should hence invest more heavily in climate diplomacy in order to find a real solution to problems such as deforestation and wildlife loss.
In an interview for the Water, Energy & Food Security Nexus Platform, adelphi's Benjamin Pohl gives insights into a recent study on water cooperation in Central Asia and explains how transnational water management can strengthen economic and political ties in the region.
Without concerted efforts to help small-scale farmers raise productivity and adapt to climate change, the G20 will not come close to attaining its goal of securing global food systems, argue Ruth Delzeit, Kacana Sipangule and Rainer Thiele.
On 9 August 2016, India's Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), Anil Madhav Dave, informed the Lok Sabha (lower house of the Indian Parliament) that, according to an Oxford University study, approximately 136,000 climate change-related deaths are projected in India. This is primarily due to decreased food production. He went on to quote figures from a World Health Organisation (WHO) report, published in 2014, which pins the principle causes of death between 2030 and 2050 on malnutrition, malaria, diarrhoea and heat stress.
On June 29, 2016, President Barack Obama, President Enrique Peña Nieto and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met for the North American Leaders' Summit (NALS) in Ottawa, Canada, and committed to improving the continent's com
Over the past decade, the number of undernourished people around the world has declined by around 167 million, to just under 800 million people. However, this positive trend glosses over a stark reality: Food insecurity is increasing in the world's mountains. This pattern has been under-recognized by development experts and governments, a dangerous oversight with far-reaching social and environmental repercussions.

Reverse Mentoring
"No one learns as much about a subject as one who is forced to teach it." — Peter F. Drucker
All businesses needs to continually adapt to changes in technology, culture and buying patterns, now more so than ever. Keeping up new skills and with cultural changes from one generation to the next is vital to staying relevant in today's market.
But for senior business leaders, developing a meaningful understanding of where your blindspots are is not easy. It requires that you to participate in conversations with younger people that are;
- mutually respectful
- thoughtful and articulate
- sustained over time in order to develop trust and a deep appreciation of each others perspectives
Introducing: The Birmingham Future Reverse Mentoring Programme
Birmingham Future's Mentoring Academy is now offering a Reverse Mentoring program that does exactly that.
How it works?
Members of Birmingham Future are invited to apply to be Mentors. If accepted, you will be matched with a senior business leader that is looking to get a new perspective from a younger business professional. We'll invite you to meet once a month for a period of at least 6 months. And to talk though, in complete confidence, a series of business issues that your "mentee" is considering. These issues might be specific – for example, how best to use social media in today's business landscape – or more general, looking at how you and your peers view a particular business or working practice. Reverse Mentoring is something that has been trialled across the globe in recent years, and with advocates like IBM, we think this could set the tone for how senior business leaders and younger professionals engage with one another. In return for mentoring a leader, you also get the chance to learn from them and influence their decision-making process; something that's likely to be very unique within both yours and their organisation.
What Can I Offer?
You probably don't know what you know. As someone under 40 in a professional environment, you'll have a number of skills and a unique perspective to offer on technology, internet-driven culture, new product development, travel, and work/life balance in the era of mobile working.
Who should apply?
You should be intelligent, able to communicate well, and willing to give up about an hour per month to meet with your mentee.
How should I apply?
Please register your interest by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. You will then be sent an application form where you can describe yourself in more detail.

For the past month, one very specific question has been controlling our minds and social media timelines which is "Who Killed Farida?"
Now that we thankfully who did it (no spoilers), we can put the suspense to rest and focus on another equally alarming situation that has -also- been introduced to us in Zay El Shams.
As you probably already know, our social media timelines have been flooded with posts about Noor & Omar lately.
If by some act of miracle, you don't actually know who these are, they are two of the main (if not the main) characters of this year's Ramadan hit series, Zay El Shams.
Why have they been flooding our social media feeds?
Well, ever since the very beginning of Ramadan, Zay El Shams has managed to become the talk of the town, and by town, we mean the hypothetical one on our phones.
This was due to several factors, some of which were the intriguing storyline of the show (which is inspired by the Italian Show Sorrelle), and of course, the raw and honest performance of the actors, especially the star of the show, Dina El Sherbiny.
But most of all, it was the fact that so many people (especially women) were able to relate to Noor (which is played by El Sherbiny).
More specifically, Noor's feelings and complicated relationship with Omar (which is played by Ahmed El Saadany). You can check our analysis of the infamous "cheating scene" that almost broke the internet here.
But recently, the development of these two characters and the show's events, actually made the "social media talk" more intense than ever. It was more than just "relating" to what's happening.
Well, let's recap that odd relationship first in case you have managed to escape social media and live under a rock for the past month.
So at the beginning of the show, Omar was Noor's fiance. They were in love and all was good until he cheated on her with her sister (Farida) whom the show basically revolves around. Then Farida and Omar got married and had two children together.
Jumping ahead, Farida gets murdered. So Noor and Omar go on a quest to find her killer TOGETHER, during which their relationship's torch gets reignited and they start getting closer again.
But then Omar ends up being the police's first suspect in Farida's murder case and gets arrested and put into jail.
So Noor (who happens to be a lawyer) "naturally", decides to take on his case and tries to prove his innocence of killing her own sister with whom he cheated.
In the process, Noor pushed away Mostafa (played by Ahmed Dawood) whom she friend-zoned despite being good for her in every way imaginable.
Then, just recently, Noor FINALLY comes to her senses after discovering another one of Omar's lies and decides to walk away -in tears and hurt- from this toxic relationship. Giving the audience another extremely emotional scene…
But the fact that Noor let herself feel anything towards Omar again, and actually fall for him and tried to help him seemed to trigger something in a LOT of people.
People's Reactions?
Well, there are two teams.
Some are aggressively attacking or carelessly making fun of Noor for being so "weak" that she could still love the guy who cheated on her with her sister and lied to her countless times.
Of course, it didn't help that she was 'casually' friend-zoning a perfect guy who loves her, Mostafa.
While others are romanticizing it and relating to her seeing this as the perfect demonstration of how people can't control their feelings.
Some saw it as just another 'you can't choose who to love' and 'love is blind' thing.
But neither is calling it out for what it really is; clear Stockholm Syndrome, or in the least, a severe case of masochism.
What does this mean?
The technical definition of Stockholm Syndrome is the condition which causes hostages to develop a psychological alliance or affection towards their captors in kidnapping or hostage situations.
In relationships, Stockholm is reflected by the desire of staying with someone or honing love and affection towards someone who abuses you in any way whether physically or mentally. I.E. willingly and consistently going back to what makes you miserable.
It is a world-known, treatment-worthy condition. However, sadly, not everyone understands it or is even aware of its existence.
This leads people who have it to not understand it, and people around them to judge them for it. Which makes it more dangerous.
Whether we like it or not, what we see on TV affects our lives and the way we think. Like this scene for example…
Romanticizing Noor's clear Stockholm Syndrome and calling it "love" reflects our severe lack of awareness.
Relating to her absolute lack of control over herself and her actions reflects something within us, and it is not that love is blind.
Because love is NOT and should NOT be blind. And placing it in that frame is what makes so many of us get broken-hearted or worse.
It is letting love be the hanger on which we hang our low standards, lack of self-worth, deeply-rooted psychological conditions, and -later on in the future- our miserable and troubled lives.
In other words, if you are wondering why you keep going back to that one person that makes you miserable and can't feel a thing towards anyone else despite how amazing they are, here is your final answer. It is NOT because you love them, it is simply because deep down, you don't think you deserve the good and your lack of self-worth keeps pushing you towards the bad.
Case in point: Noor's situation and ending…
Spoiler: She ends up going back to him (AGAIN), then the show ends with him abusing her (PHYSICALLY) this time.
How to fix it?
Instead of trying to make this abusive, emotionally-draining relationship work by putting all your energy in it, put that energy to better use by working on loving your own self and understanding your own mind.
Figure out the deep-rooted problems that are causing you to behave in this self-destructive way, AND GET HELP!! So you can finally find the love you deserve from yourself and others.

I am not keen to meet any authors so I changed the topic today. Here's Horror movies I still want to watch. Those are mostly based on what's available on Netflix & sounded interesting to me.
Maybe I watch it today? I don't know why I waited so long!
An ouija board, dark spirits, nightmares and supposed to be real scary. I'm in!
Ouija interests me^^ especially since one of my aunts is convinced it's working and she talked to my great-grandpa once through a spirit. Um. I am not sure whether she was sober? I tried it with my neighbor in our cellar when I was 10 or so. She was moving the glass though.
Train to Busan
Zombie movie that follows a dad & his daughter. I don't say no to zombies.
The Boy
The main character is Lauren Cohen – Maggie from 'The Walking Dead' and she plays a babysitter who has to take care of a doll. Hell yeah, I love creepy doll horror movies, so this sounds great!
It has a mirror and mirrors in horror movies freak me out so yup, sure!
It's based on a King story and I don't really know what it's about. We did like the last King adaptation we watched though (11/22/63) so I will definitely give it a chance.
Children of the Corn
Same here^^
I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House
Creepy, spooky house.
Any horror flicks you can recommend? I love zombies, scary dolls, haunted houses, creepy Asian kids and dark spirits. Possession/exorcism is okay I guess. Some of my favourites are here. I've watched a lot of horror movies in my teens and lots of them I don't even remember anymore^^ (A lot of them sucked as well haha)

Enlarge Your Home with Outdoor Living Spaces
Friday May 31, 2019
With spring in the air, now is a great time to plan for livable, loveable outdoor spaces that will expand your living spaces and extend the time you can spend outside. Here are a few ideas that won't require a great deal of time, talent or money but will make your Rochester backyard the envy of your neighbors.
Add Comfortable, Colorful Furniture
Today's outdoor living trends look far past the wooden slat picnic tables and flimsy lawn chairs of yesteryear. Comfortable, cushy groupings resemble a living room far more than a campsite.
Popular styles of outdoor furniture are made from durable materials such as aluminum, polymer or even rope. They're easy to maintain with regular, quick swipes of a damp sponge. If you'd rather get something more permanent, tables, bars and seating can be constructed with stones or brick. The tabletops and countertops are often made of heavy, treated wood or stone, such as granite. Kits are available for do-it-yourself versions of these hardscaped pieces if your budget doesn't allow for a contractor.
To make your space more comfortable and colorful, accent with cushions and decorative pillows. Choose weather proof fabrics, of course, and you'll also want to clean them regularly with the swipe of a damp sponge. Prevent mildew by leaving them in the sunshine to dry.
Natural, earthy colors are as popular as bright reds and blues. Choose what you like best! Many designers recommend creating smooth transitions between indoor and outdoor rooms. Complementary colors and design choices will create unity between the spaces.
Create a Sense of Calm
Many Rochester homeowners value their outdoor spaces as quiet, meditative respites. Adding water and fire features can enhance the mood.
You can add the gurgling of moving water to your outside space without installing an extravagant waterfall. Small fountains are easy to set up and maintain. During the winter, they can be drained and moved into indoor storage, though the manufacturer may recommend submerging the pump in water so the seals don't dry out.
Fire can also be added to your space without an overwhelming stone fireplace. Movable fire pits and chimneys add ambience when you're in a reflective mood or space for a warm circle and s'mores when you're entertaining. Some modern options use propane to create dancing flames without the smoke and ashes created by a wood burning fire.
Extend Your Outdoor Time with Light and Heat
After creating your outdoor living area, you're likely to want to stay outside long after the sun has set and the seasons have begun to change. You've enlarged your space, now extend its usable time outdoors with light and heat.
Depending on the type of outdoor structures, you may want to add permanent lighting. If so, select LED fixtures that coordinate with your home style. The LED lights will conserve energy and, importantly, they will not attract bugs as halogen lights do.
If you choose to hang strands of lights temporarily, check the quality of the wires and any extension cords you use. Make sure they're rated for outdoor use. Solar lights are another option, and there are lost of solar choices including lanterns, pathway lights, deck lights and even hanging fixtures.
To combat chilly summer nights and fall's crisp air, try adding some portable heaters, too. Propane heaters come in many shapes and sizes, including decorative styles that add more interest to your space. Be aware of any safety issues if you're on a wooden deck or, especially in the fall, in areas where dry leaves or limbs may have collected.
That's it. Even if you add only a few of these items, you've expanded the opportunities to enjoy your Rochester area home. Of course, at Faber Builders, we believe that owning your own home and purchasing it new gives you the best opportunity to personalize indoor and outdoor spaces to suit your lifestyle. For more information on how we can help, please check out our communities at www.faberbuilders.com/our-communities.

Special Features
Native American Art
Picnic Area
Bernie Whitebear Way in Discovery Park
The Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center is located on twenty acres at the northwest point of Discovery Park in Seattle.
The Center is an urban base for Native Americans in Seattle. It serves as a conference and event center, and also houses an art gallery, a preschool, and several other programs. The Seafair Indian Days Pow Wow is hosted by Daybreak Star every year in July.
This part of Magnolia used to be the Fort Lawton military base. It was a minor base without much of a focus, used for greatly varied purposes over its lifespan. In the 1960s the U.S. Government started making moves to close down parts of Fort Lawton.
The City of Seattle wanted the land for a large natural open space park. But at the same time, a group that evolved into United Indians of All Tribes, led by Bernie Whitebear, decided to try to stake claim to the land.
UIAT based their claim on 1865 treaties which promised that surplus military land would be returned to the original owners. The group saw a pressing need for self-directed services for Native Americans living in Seattle. The federal Bureau of Indian Affairs and Indian Health Services only recognized Native Americans living on reservations and provided no services or support for those living in cities, despite critical needs in education, health, housing, and employment.
The group's first attempts to claim the land were rebuffed. They were told by the BIA and IHS to seek services on the reservations, which is an unworkable solution for a poverty-stricken urban population.
So in 1970 Bernie Whitebear's group took direct action, staging occupations of the fort and protests in several locations over a three-month span. Finally they gained enough media attention and public support that the government administration in charge of the surplus process ordered the City of Seattle to negotiate with UIAT.
After five months of negotiations an agreement was reached in 1971. Twenty acres were leased to UIAT for 99 years, with the option to renew without renegotiation. Daybreak Star was built on the acquired land and opened in 1977.
When you arrive at Daybreak Star the building is on your left and the viewpoint is on your right. Just past the viewpoint entrance are some parking spaces on the road on your left. These are the closest to the outdoor attractions.
Even if you have no interest in the Center itself, this is a nice, little known Seattle viewpoint to visit. A large open lawn leads down to a view platform at the edge of the bluff.
The view is to the north and includes boats exiting the mouth of Salmon Bay, part of Shilshole Marina, the beach at Golden Gardens, and a bit of the Olympics. You can see the Edmonds Ferry crossing the sound in the distance and on clear days you get a nice view of Mt. Baker.
To get from the park road to the view platform there are three paved paths, one on each side of the lawn and one down the middle. There is a bit of a downhill slope, but it's not steep and most people won't have any trouble with it.
If you take the west side path close to parking there are two benches on the way down. If you take the east side path there are three picnic tables. The middle path has two benches by the road, and then steps down, since the bank is steeper in the middle.
The view platform has two benches, and it's a lovely spot to sit for a while on a sunny day, especially if there's a breeze blowing when the weather is warm. On my second visit some large rollers started coming in and I could hear them crashing ashore below, which added to the ambience.
There are no steps or paths leading down to the water from here. The high bluff is fenced off to prevent accidents.
For those who like to search out obscure and picturesque picnic spots, this one is pretty nice. On most days you'll have it to yourself, aside from an occasional visitor going out to the view deck.
To the west of the viewpoint area, at the edge of the parking lot, is the start of two trails. I haven't been on them so have no idea of their condition or where they go.
Across the road from the viewpoint is the lower level of the Daybreak Star building. There you'll find two totem carvings and an old dugout canoe. Feel free to take a close look or snap some photos, but don't touch the objects on display.
As far as I know, these lower level back doors are usually locked (even though it looks like the main entrance). You should use one of the other two entrances into the building on the upper level.
If you walk along the east side of the building through a patio area you will see large steps leading up to one of the entrances you can use. A giant mural is painted on the walls of both sides of the steps. So even if you don't plan to use that entrance it's worth walking back there to see.
Across from the steps is a bench circle facing Guardian of the Spirit. It's one of sixteen terra cotta sculptures that used to adorn the facade of the White-Henry-Stuart building in downtown Seattle, built in 1909. The sculpture was rescued when the building was renovated in 1976 to make way for Rainier Square, and donated to Daybreak Star in 1985.
Near the bench circle are some stairs leading down to a paved walkway. I believe this is the route to a round meadow south of the building where the annual Pow Wow is held. The meadow and Center can also be reached by using Discovery Park's north parking lot and taking the path a ways west and then north from the lot.
If you plan to use the Center's main entrance you can walk or drive around to the front of the building. There is a small parking lot, including a few handicap spaces near the front door.
On the south side of the lot is a small fenced play area for young children. On weekdays from 8 am – 5 pm it is reserved for the private use of the Center's preschool. Outside those hours and on weekends it is open to the public.
Just inside the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center's front door is a donation box. You are welcome to visit the center for free. The suggested donation is $5. (If you want to donate something but don't have any cash with you, there are envelopes on the side of the box that you can use to mail a check once you get home.) The money goes towards maintenance of the physical facility, art gallery, and running their programs.
Beyond the donation box are a couple tables with literature for the many programs that operate out of the Center. There are also some glossy booklets with information on Northwest museums and galleries that display Native American art. (The suggested donation for the booklets is also $5.)
Several large artworks are displayed on the Center's lobby walls. These pieces are in the Daybreak Star permanent collection. Sometimes other pieces are displayed in the open areas also. On my second visit a carved headpiece was on display in a glass case and a tall wood sculpture was at the other end of the lobby.
A short way into the Center on your right is the door into the Sacred Circle Art Gallery. The gallery displays curated exhibits of contemporary and traditional work by Native American artists. The gallery is very small (one room), but makes good use of its space.
When I was there in March the featured artist was Frank Peterson, a member of the Makah Tribe. (Sidenote: if you ever have a chance to visit the Makah museum at Neah Bay, do it.) In September Molly Kubista, a Samish artist, was being displayed. The gallery exhibits are changed every three or four months.
Just past the gallery is the door into the giftshop. This isn't a souvenir type giftshop, so don't expect baseball caps and cheap trinkets. The store carries a few books, original artwork, and handmade crafts like baby moccasins and earings. On my second visit the shop was closed, so my guess is that whether or not it's open at any given time depends on available staffing.
The Center also has restrooms on this floor. You can find them down the hallway that is between the gallery and giftshop. They are open to anyone visiting the Center or enjoying the viewpoint. (Though they are only available during Center hours, obviously.)
Things to Know
Center Hours
9 am – 5 pm weekdays, closed on weekends
Park Hours
4 am – 11:30 pm
Benches and picnic tables at the scenic point.
Benches on the east side of the Daybreak Star building.
Chairs in the Center's main floor lobby.
Inside the Center building on the main floor. Only open 9 – 5 on weekdays.
At other times you will need to use a bathroom somewhere else in Discovery Park or the public bathrooms at Fishermen's Terminal. The Discovery Park Environmental Learning Center bathrooms are the easiest to get to and are open 8:30 am to 5 pm every day except Monday.
Parking starts along the left side of the road near the viewpoint and continues around the building to a small lot in the front.
Several handicap spaces near the front door.
On most days you won't have any trouble finding a spot.
I've only been to Daybreak Star twice, both times on weekdays so I could be there when the Center was open. Usage was very light.
Both times I had the lobby and gallery to myself. I believe that on some days schools and sightseeing tours visit the Center, so it's possible to run into a crowd, but not very likely.
The viewpoint gets a few people wandering through, but most don't stay long.
Quite a few people appear to use the Center's parking lot as their base for heading out on the park trails.

Flexiroof, a Taranaki-based outdoor shelter maker, has launched an equity crowdfunding campaign on PledgeMe to raise a minimum of $165,000 as the company begins its global expansion.
The company, which was founded in 2013, has been developing shelters for patios and outdoor areas:
"We shelter naked decks and patios which are to be found all over the place! In fact the majority of the 1.5 million plus houses in NZ have 1 or more 'naked' decks/patios – where people and furniture are exposed. We solve that exposure issue in a beautiful way!"
Founder of Flexiroof, Simon Moore, stated:
"We are excited to be able work with PledgeMe to invite our existing supporters, initial customers, and the wider market to join us in the next part of our business growth. With more than 1.5 million private dwellings in New Zealand, we have a large domestic market to support our ongoing growth. That base will drive our long-term goal – to sell kits throughout Australasia and license our intellectual property around the world."
Moore also commented that Flexiroof has received excellent feedback from New Zealand customers:
"After more than two years perfecting our product and putting shelters up ourselves, we're now ready to take the next step in our plan – providing kits to shelter naked patios throughout New Zealand and around the globe."
Funds from the campaign will be used for the following:
- Advancing patent portfolio
- Creating customer acrylic sheet
- Marketing
- Short video production
- Sell kits
PledgeMe founder and CEO, Anna Guenther, then added:
"Simon is a mix of inventor and businessman, having already developed and successfully sold technology to Nike Golf. It's amazing to see companies like Flexiroof turning to their crowd as they get set to expand sales across Australasia."
Flexiroof is expecting to secure a minimum of $165,000 and up to $330,000, which will represent 4.2%–8.1% of the company, at $1.10 per share.

Two of Western Australia's rising starts have been named in Cricket Australia's upcoming National Performance Squad.
The squad will be based at the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane from May until early September, working with National Performance Program Head Coach Troy Cooley and High Performance Coaches and former Australian greats Ryan Harris and Chris Rogers.
Recent graduates of the program who have gone on to play for Australia include wicket-keeper Alex Carey, batsman Matthew Renshaw and WA all-rounder Hilton Cartwright.
UWA Bachelor of Commerce students Josh Phillipe and Cameron Green have been named in the squad, with both the opening batsman and medium pacer impressing over the last season, both in state competition and nationally.
Cameron came to national attention last year with bowling figures of 5-24 on his Shield debut against Tasmania.
Meanwhile Josh recently hit the England senior team for 88 in a Ashes warm-up game at the WACA in November.
Cricket Australia's National Performance Program Head Coach, Troy Cooley, said:
"This is an incredible opportunity for these players to utilise the state-of-the-art facilities at the Bupa National Cricket Centre, and to fast-track their development as cricketers," Cooley said.
"Our aim is to build on the work done within state systems, and continue to develop the skills and values required to get these young men ready for international cricket.
"We have worked hard with the State Talent Managers to identify a targeted, smaller core group of players, who have displayed the on-field and off-field qualities we all are looking for."
UWA Cricket Club's David Moody will also join the squad for pace specific training in late August.
The program concludes in early September, with the squad set to compete against State teams in pre-season matches.

Jack Stanton
Created by Edward Burns
"I do it the old-fashioned way -- the way Bogart did it."
-- you may say Jack's a dreamer, but he's not the only one.
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
Nobody does the working class streets (and sidewalks) of New Yawk better than writer/director Edward Burns. Or nails with such precision the ways love -- and its loss -- can really fuck up your life.
And there's no better proof of that than Looking for Kitty, a quirky, bittersweet little 2004 character study that owes at least as much to Woody Allen and The Odd Couple as it does to Mike Hammer and Matt Scudder.
Goody-two-shoes upstate high school softball ball coach Abe Fiannico (played by Numb3rs' David Krumholtz) is utterly devastated. His beloved wife Kitty has lit out for parts unknown. Increasingly desparate, he hires cranky, cynical small-time New York private eye JACK STANTON (Edward Burns himself) to find her, and then convinces the detective to let him accompany him on the case.
But there's plenty Abe isn't telling, and brash, would-be tough guy Jack seems too preoccupied to notice -- at first.
Of course, it's not the case that's actually the focus of this flick but the growing relationship between the two men. Not that this is some dick-swinging Lethal Weapon-type buddy flick.
Nope, Burns is, as usual, after something more subtle and more universal than that.At first the two men seem like polar opposites but eventually it dawns on them that they have much more in common than they realize -- or would like: namely, that they're both solitary, compulsive men, almost compulsively bound by habits and still in love with wives who have left them. Abe's wife has ran off with an aging second-string British rock star, but Jack's has really gone away -- she's dead. And his own life, personal and professional, has been circling the drain ever since. His exasperated but sympathetic boss has thrown him this one last case.
There's heartache spoken here, and Burns brings it all home with poignancy and wit, capturing every detail and nuance -- the quiet, understated scene in which Jack wakes up to yet another day in an empty bed is a killer.
But ultimately, this charming low key indie flick isn't the downer it may seem -- it's about learning to let go and moving on.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2017, Hempstead, Texas – Hurricane Harvey was a storm that will last for a long time in the minds of those who experienced its wrath. While the memory of the storm's destruction may have created terrible memories for some, it has been a demonstration to the team of service members from around the United States of Texans' generosity.
"We got here yesterday and were extremely overwhelmed by the outpouring of support by the members of the communities," said Col. Geoffrey J. Kent, 4th Sustainment Brigade commander. "We consider it an honor to support and serve these communities," said Kent.
Kent and his team of Soldiers from Fort Carson, Colo began support to the people of eastern Texas on Sept. 3 when they arrived at Hempstead, Texas. At a car dealership loaned to U.S. Army North and subordinate units, Kent and the group set up their operations.
One of the other units at the dealership is the 75th Field Artillery Brigade from Fort Sill, Okla. They drove nearly 400 miles to support relief operations after completing a two-week field training exercise.
"We knew we were going to help civilians and the Soldiers were excited to come, excited to help," said Lt. Col. Toni Rieke, commander of the brigade's 100th Brigade Support Battalion.
When the unit departed Oklahoma, it did not expect to find communities so eager to offer support to the Soldiers. Among the support service members have received are numerous residents offering vocal support and, true to regional stereotypes, beef.
"We came self-sustaining, but coming into a location like (the car dealership) is definitely a benefit and a morale booster for the Soldiers," said Rieke.
What the Soldiers have experienced has been more common than one might think for an area declared a disaster area by the President of the United States. At locations throughout eastern Texas, including Houston Executive Airport, the dealership at Hempstead, and other places, residents have provided barbecue dishes and other freshly-prepared dishes.
The call to assist Soldiers was sent via social media and Texas residents responded. One of those who responded was Earlyne Campbell, the daughter of a Navy chief petty officer who served in World War II and the Korean War.
"It is so great to serve the military because (they) serve us," said Campbell. "We want to do something and we're going to keep doing this as long as (they) all are here, because we really love and appreciate what (they) all do.
According to data gathered by U.S. Army North, (they) have provided 2,100 Soldiers and civilians, 58,000 Meals-Ready-to-Eat, 1,015 pallets of water, 391 pallets of food, 90 boats, over 200 trucks along with cots, medical supplies and equipment have been transported by units responding to support efforts. Relief operations by active duty troops are expected to continue for several more weeks before the National Guard reassumes the entirety of relief support.

Watch: Former Oklahoma City mayor slammed for comparing gay people to pedophiles on talk show Back to video
Kirk Humphreys made the comments over the weekend on KFOR-TV's public affairs show. He also compared gay people to politicians who've recently resigned after allegations of sexual misconduct.
Barney Frank is, I mean, is homosexuality right or wrong? It's not relative. There's a right or wrong. ... And quite frankly it's okay for men to sleep with little boys if it's okay.Kirk Humphreys
LGBTQ advocacy group Freedom Oklahoma has called for his removal from the board if he doesn't apologize. Executive Director Troy Stevenson says Humphreys' comments were disheartening and dangerous for LGBTQ youth who are already harassed and bullied.
A staffer at Humphreys' office said he was out of town Monday and unavailable to comment.
Stevenson said Monday his group will protest an Oklahoma City real estate project that belongs to Humphreys' family business if he doesn't apologize.
