Our second Roundtable
Last Friday we gathered with a dozen leaders from different pregnancy centers and organizations from across DFW (Non-Texans, that means Dallas/Ft. Worth).
Last Friday we gathered with a dozen leaders from different pregnancy centers and organizations from across DFW (Non-Texans, that means Dallas/Ft. Worth).
Did you know that Birth Mother's Day actually exists! It's Saturday, May 10. (Mother's Day is Sunday, May 11.) This year, we've teamed up with Blessings in a Basket for the second year in a row to create a sweet care package specifically designed for birth mothers. Why? Because we want birth moms to be honored and encouraged on this holiday. And we thought a few fun goodies might brighten one's day.
Last Saturday we got the chance to attend the very first "Royally Blessed Adoption Walk" hosted Blessings in a Basket, the Utah-based organization providing birth mom community. (You might remember reading about their founder Ashley here.)
On Thursday, February 13th, we celebrated an early Valentine's with 130 of our Dallas Ambassadors. Our Ambassadors are those who have committed to helping us raise awareness that adoption is a loving option. And Valentine's seemed like a fitting time to acknowledge this different kind of adoption love story. Our founder spoke and shared where we've been in the past year and what's ahead. For those that attended the event, THANK YOU!
These dinners are our favorites. The purpose is primarily social - eat good food and get to know one another. It's a way we can gather a group of women who have one thing in common - placing a child for adoption. These dinners allow us time to get to know the women we champion by sharing a meal and listening to their stories in person.
Last Thursday, January 23rd, we participated in Greater Dallas Movement Day and shared this video with all those in attendance - approximately 1,400 people. Afterwards, our founder made a few comments to the crowd.
Last Saturday, January 18th, we had the opportunity to speak at the Dallas March for Life Rally. It was an honor to be a part of this HUGE event in downtown Dallas and to get to talk about adoption to thousands. Literally, thousands.
On Friday, November 22, we were awarded the 2013 Hope Award at Gladney's 10th Annual Hope Award Luncheon. What an honor! Thank you Gladney for this recognition. The luncheon was a sweet time in which we celebrated with friends, family and supporters of BraveLove as well as staff from Gladney and other organizations in the DFW area. To those who attended amidst the chilly temps in Ft. Worth, thank you for being there. To the rest of you, we appreciate your interest in this movement and caring about adoption. Happy National Adoption Month!
On Thursday, November 14, we launched this movement in Oklahoma! We gathered with about 175 of our closest friends in the Oklahoma City/Edmond/Nichols Hills area and shared the vision of BraveLove with the intention of raising adoption awareness. Our friend Clay shared his adoption story, and then BraveLove founder shared the vision of the organization. By the end of the night, people were excited to get involved, give and help spread the BraveLove in Oklahoma. For those that attended, THANK YOU for being there. We're so excited to get to know you.
Happy Thursday! We've run across some great adoption stories, articles and videos so far this week. Read/Watch these at your leisure...

Event detail
Berkeley Lecture on Religious Tolerance | Living with Difference: Shared Religious Sanctuaries in Ottoman Lands
Lecture | April 26 | 5-7 p.m. | 310 Sutardja Dai Hall
Karen Barkey, Haas Distinguished Chair of Religious Diversity, UC Berkeley
Berkeley Center for the Study of Religion
In this talk, I will discuss the sharing of sacred sanctuaries by the three great monotheistic religions across the Mediterranean, with particular examples from the history of the Ottoman Empire. At first sight, sharing the same sacred sites would seem impossible in a monotheistic world characterized by total submission to a single God. And yet in the Mediterranean world it is not unusual for followers of different religions to frequent the same shrines. In the past, and even today, numerous believers Jews, Christians and Muslims have prayed together in the holy places of another religion.
Shared sacred sites are religious sanctuaries where people from different and potentially antagonistic religious and ethnic backgrounds are able to live with difference, accommodate others religious needs, and publicly negotiate their otherness. The sharing provides key insights into characteristics and features crucial to the cultivation of tolerance and understanding.
I will traverse the territories of the Ottoman Empire to give examples of shared sites, discuss their origins and transformation over time, and describe the subtly negotiated nature of numerous practices that make for long periods of tolerance among religious groups. These examples will show how it is possible to accommodate to the other, even in a world riven by religious differences.
Professor Barkey is a major figure in comparative and historical sociology, whose work on the Ottoman Empire illuminates how empires have managed ethnic and religious difference in comparative and historical perspective. Her works include: Bandits and Bureaucrats: The Ottoman Route to State Centralization (Cornell University Press, 1999) and Empire of Difference: The Ottomans in Comparative Perspective (Cambridge University Press, 2008). Her current research examines shared sacred spaces and the politics of pluralism. Her work is featured in sharedsacredsites.net, a new website on this topic.

A former Ferrari team boss has dismissed the hype surrounding Mick Schumacher.
The top member of Ferrari's development academy, Formula 2 driver Schumacher tested both the Ferrari and the Alfa Romeo last week in Bahrain to great fanfare.
But Cesare Fiorio, who ran Ferrari in the late '80s and early '90s, is not impressed with the son of F1 legend Michael Schumacher.
"In Formula 2, he's driving a very competitive car, but he took an eighth and a sixth place" in Bahrain, he told tuttomotoriweb.com. "In F1 testing, he was second, but with a set of tires two steps softer than Verstappen, who was faster than him," Fiorio added.
"By now, Mick Schumacher doesn't look competitive to me, but anyway, they are making a big fuss around him."

A new housing development is beginning to take shape in Lompoc, marking what could become the first major home construction in the city in a decade.
Grading work has begun for the Purisima Hills development, which is slated to bring 44 new homes to a tract of land near the Wye intersection of Highway 1 and Harris Grade Road. The project had been in the planning stages for more than 10 years before it was taken over two years ago by the Ventura-based McCarthy Companies.
With Lompoc experiencing what many city officials have described as a shortage of homes over the past several years, City Manager Jim Throop said he was "very excited" about the prospect of additional housing. Still, even with the new homes, he said, Lompoc would continue to remain "far behind the curve" on its housing stock.
"The city could easily use hundreds of new homes, both single-family and multifamily housing," he said. "This development is the first in many years … and as a city, we need more housing inventory to meet the ever growing needs on our community. The 44 homes being built will help, absolutely, but we need many more homes, of all pricing levels, to meet current demands."
Sarah McCarthy-Garcia, the vice president of McCarthy Companies, said the developers are still working on obtaining permits from the city and that the development is still in the early stages. She said she expected construction to begin this summer on model homes, which are projected to be available for tours in early 2020.
The prices for the homes are expected to begin in the $500,000 range.
McCarthy-Garcia said that McCarthy Companies was drawn to the project in part due to Lompoc's housing shortage and the rising number of professionals who live in the area, including those who commute to Vandenberg Air Force Base for work.
"We had been looking for a while at different opportunities throughout the area, and when we saw this opportunity, we saw that there hadn't been much housing built in Lompoc," she said. "We really loved the community and thought it was a great opportunity for a new development and a real need that we could meet with 44 new homes that, I still think as far as California standards are concerned, are affordably priced."
She said that floor plans and other details about the homes were not yet available and suggested that the developers would be able to share those aspects as soon as this summer.
You have free articles remaining.
Potential homebuyers can stay abreast of the development by providing contact information on the company's website at https://purisimahills.com, where they can also join an interest list for priority consideration for purchasing during the first phase of completed homes.
The development, which is on a parcel of land annexed to the city 13 years ago, could provide a fiscal boost to the city as it deals with projected budget deficits over the next few years.
If the homes were to sell for $500,000 each, the city could expect to gain an additional $20,000 per year in property tax revenue, according to Throop.
The impact on sales taxes, he said, was more difficult to project. If the average annual income of each of the 44 households was $100,000 per year, that could lead to an addition of about $11,000 in sales taxes each year. If the household incomes remain in line with the city's average from the most recent census in 2010 — about $45,000 to $49,000 per year — that could lead to about $5,400 in additional sales taxes.
Those projections could play a role in the 2019-21 biennial budget discussions, which will formally kick off with a workshop at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 17, at Lompoc City Hall.
Throop said the city is still working with developers that plan to build homes in the so-called Burton Ranch area. He also noted that discussions are continuing regarding potential home construction in the Bailey Corridor area that has been proposed for possible annexation to expand the city's western reach.
"That one still has a number of hurdles to cross before a project could start," Throop said of the Bailey Corridor possibilities.
McCarthy-Garcia said McCarthy Companies was looking forward to the Purisima Hills development, and she praised city staff for its cooperation throughout the early stages. She said the project was a "natural fit" for the area and that she felt the homes would appeal to a wide range of consumers.
"It's going to be beautiful and we're excited," she said of the project. "I think it's going to just be a nice, fun addition to the community."

Conjoint Survey Design Tool
Anton Strezhnev, Jens Hainmueller, Daniel J. Hopkins, and Teppei Yamamoto
The Conjoint Survey Design Tool assists researchers in creating multi-dimensional choice experiments that can be readily incorporated into any pre-existing web survey software (such as Qualtrics). Conjoint analysis is a type of survey experiment often used by market researchers to measure consumer preferences over a variety of product attributes. Hainmueller, Hopkins and Yamamoto (2014) demonstrate the value of this design for political science applications. Conjoint experiments present respondents with a choice among set of profiles composed of multiple randomly assigned attributes. This approach allows researchers to estimate the effect of each individual component on the probability that the respondent will choose a profile. This software tool is designed as a companion to Hainmueller, Hopkins and Yamamoto (2014), providing a graphical user interface for generating conjoint experiments.

Just to mention I have dyslexia. This causes me to not only be very creative 😉 but also to use the incorrect word. I think I'm writing or saying one word when in fact I'm writing or saying another. I don't always catch this and a spell-check won't either. In fact, my spelling is actually pretty good minus some minor weirdness such as using quotes for I"m instead of I'm. Also, I might transpose letters but a spell check would pick that up.
To note, there is a lot of myth and misconception about what dyslexia is and how it affects people. Each person who experiences dyslexia, can experience it quite differently.
Before anyone thinks I read below grade level or can't comprehend what people are saying, that isn't the case for me. In fact, I'm considered a gifted individual with a high IQ and EQ. 😉 … just to note. 🙂 I AM; however, an abstract thinker and sometimes people can't *get* what I'M saying. 😉
If that's the case, just say so. *grin*
More on dyslexia
Personal: Dyslexia
Tom West suggests that left-hemisphere deficiencies, such as dyslexia, are fundamentally linked to right-hemisphere strengths, such as visual thinking, spatial ability, pattern recognition, problem solving, heightened intuition and creativity. http://talentdevelop.com/character.html
I have dyslexia. It feels like a mild case. The problems I encounter are: parts of words or parts of whole sentences may be missed and words can come out sounding funny. The wrong word or a similar word may be used instead. Also sometimes I reverse letters. There are other minor things I do that are dyslexic. Like reverse thinking.
The weirdest thing I have experienced is: after I write something, it looks right but when I go back and re-read it at a later date, I'm like: "what? I meant to say this or that". That can be annoying because many people perceive that as a grammar or spelling problem and do not realize that it's actually dyslexia.
Also, I don't experience ALL dyslexic things and only recently have I found problems with using the wrong words, via the computer, since the last 6 months or so. I have had the letter reversal and thinking backwards stuff for a long time though.
My memory is also excellent and apparently many dyslexics have problems with memory. Also I used to have problems with comprehension but then I learned to read very quickly and find the *meaning* of sentence and focused on the word choices for hidden meaning instead. I think of myself as an abstract thinker.
It wasn't aware of all this until my partner started working with children who learn differently, that I accepted that I had dyslexia. Apparently it's a sign of someone who is quite bright and artistic. *grin*
Linda Kreger Silverman – from her book Upside-Down Brilliance – referring to West's book: In the Mind's Eye: Visual Thinkers, Gifted People With Dyslexia and Other Learning Difficulties, Computer Images and the Ironies of Creativity

The STCW Convention 1978 has been amended by the 2010 Manila Amendments and contains new training requirements:
Officer of the Watch (Yachts, less than 3,000gt) candidates will be required to complete a five day Efficient Deck Hand course, if they are applying for their Certificates of Competency after 1 July 2013.
Officer of the Watch candidates (Unlimited or Yachts) will be required to complete a three day Human Element, Leadership and Management (Operational Level) course, if they are applying for their Certificate of Competency after 31 August 2013.
Chief Mate candidates (Unlimited or Yachts) will be required to complete a five day Human Element, Leadership and Management (Management Level) course, if they are applying for their Certificate of Competency after 31 August 2013.
All deck officers (including yachts) will need to undertake a generic Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS) course before either applying for (or revalidating) their UK Certificate of Competency. The MCA will accept any of the following courses as meeting the generic training requirement:
Deck officers not meeting the above requirements will receive the following limitation on their Certificate of Competency:
"From the 1 January 2017 this certificate is not valid for service on ships fitted with ECDIS".
All deck officers serving on UK-flagged vessels using ECDIS as the primary means of navigation (this includes all ships where the carriage of ECDIS is mandatory) must have completed generic ECDIS training and MCA guidance in MIN 503 further advises that type-specific ECDIS training is required when ECDIS is the primary means of navigation.
Type-specific ECDIS training should be delivered by the ECDIS equipment manufacturer (or approved sub-contractor) or a trainer who has attended an approved programme. Warsash Maritime Academy has Kongsberg, Sperry and Transas ECDIS equipment, instructors certified by the manufacturers and we are looking to extend our capabilities further in due course.

Many people have different ideas about upgrading their business, but the important one many fails to give importance is for the technical partners and their requirements for business.
Not to mention, we are in an era where technical platforms are influencing the business world so digging out the technical advantages and their opportunities where mandatory here. Especially when it comes to renting concept this online interface are much more important.
How Does Boat Rentals Business Work ?
It's simple ! When a customer need a boat, search the availability and on which cruise they have to sail. Book the boat and do cruise, finally the payment has to be paid either through cash or online payment.
But this business can be classified into two types.
Own's The Boat – When you have a boat you can have a website and do rentals.
As an intermediate – Here you may or may not own boats, but by owning a website you can connect the boat owners and the consumers / sailors
In case if you are owning a boat, then the cost of the business is huge and huge, but the second option is much more effective and profitable.
The Requirements for the business
The two main ingredients for the business is
- Technical Support
- Marketing Strategies
Technical support – You have to own a website, it can be developed from scratch or can influence the Boat rental script. Through this as an admin you can interconnect both the sailor and the boat owners.
Marketing Strategies – As like every business, marketing is the phenomenal one for every business, swanking your business will help you out to reach a wide audience.
Based on your prominence both the boat owners and the sailors will be approaching you.
Measures To Be Analyses
Business is not an easy task so before diving in search for the better location and the already existing customers and check their strength and weakness. Also make sure to study about how do they work!
Because based on that you may get a brief overview about how to set your business according to the customer.
The competitor analysis should include their app features also, so that you can decide what are the mandatory options you have to include in your boat rental script.
Also for boating, license for the business is required in some countries, so make sure to do register the business and for precautions provide the safety guidelines to save themselves from getting hurt.
So through this you can get into your business with a bang, As because you are in online medium you can address the audience in a short span and engage with the customers.
For technical support, we Trioangle Technology provides Yacht Rental Software which is encompassed with the multiple features required for the business.

Deal Mediation
Graham conducted a three-month project during which he chaired the negotiations between British Sugar plc and the National Farmers Union regarding the commercial arrangements of the UK's sugar beet industry (worth some £250 million pa) over a four year period leading up to the next anticipated EU review of the industry.
The success of this assignment might be gauged from the recent farming media coverage of the resultant settlement. This characterises the position prior to Graham's involvement as "sugar negotiations in disarray", "calls for solidarity ahead of sugar price meeting" and "sugar beet price negotiations remain in deadlock". However, following Graham's appointment in early November 2009, the resultant news coverage in February 2010 reports: "the annual squabbling match between British Sugar and the NFU over sugar beet prices could be a thing of the past".
Graham is currently working with a number of primary care and foundation trusts in the NHS to facilitate the negotiations of their future contracts for the commissioning of acute hospital services. Technically complex, and usually involving large teams of specialist managers and clinicians, these negotiations often involve the interaction of many dozens of individual performance standards, the outcome of which can often have critical implications for the financial position of the trusts involved.

The Story Behind Pompeii
Buried for centuries under a thick layer of volcanic ash and stone, this doomed Roman town is well preserved and fascinating to explore.
Before the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, Pompeii was a popular holiday resort frequented by the wealthy citizens of Rome. Its streets were lined with elegant homes and people would meet in open-air plazas and gather at the vast amphitheatre.
A large cloud of ash drifted south
The events of that fateful day were witnessed and recorded by author Pliny the Younger. His account tells us that after the eruption, a large cloud of ash drifted south, plunging the area into darkness. Stones and debris fell on Pompeii, before several waves of hot gas and rock flowed down the sides of the mountain, engulfing everything in their path.
Pompeii lay hidden until 1594
After the eruption, Pompeii lay hidden until 1594, when it was discovered by an architect digging a canal. It was another 150 years or so before proper excavation of the site began, and as explorers started to search for ancient artefacts, they found that the city was almost intact. The ash had helped to preserve it.
Around two-thirds of the site has been recovered
Today, almost three centuries on, excavation work continues. Around two-thirds of the original site has been uncovered and efforts are now focussed on restoring what has been excavated, preserving it for generations to come.
Pompeii Top 5
The amphitheatre
This really is a must-see site. It's the oldest surviving amphitheatre on earth and is thought to have held up to 20,000 people.
The forum
The forum was once the economic, political and religious heart of Pompeii. It is where public debates and religious events would have taken place.
The Stabian Baths
This is the oldest of the town's three bathing complexes. It consists of a separate bathing section for men and women, a swimming pool and courtyard.
Villa of the Mysteries
This villa houses some of Pompeii's most important frescoes, including a large painting on a vivid red background. It depicts a young women, thought to be going through some kind of initiation ritual.
The lupanar
Pompeii's brothel is one of its most visited sites. Inside, the walls of the small bedrooms are adorned with explicit paintings.

As digital marketing continues to grow and develop, brands take great advantage of using technology and the Internet as a successful way to communicate with its clients and allows them to increase the reach of who they can interact with and how they go about doing so,.[2] There are however disadvantages that are not commonly looked into due to how much a business relies on it.

The allure of so-called internet riches is nothing new. At every bend and turn in a gauntlet of online gurus, you'll find internet marketers looking to hype up this supposed dream of making money online or earning passive income while kicking up your feet and letting the cash roll in. While internet marketing doesn't quite work that way, in that you actually do have to put in the work, it isn't too difficult to separate the proverbial men from the boys when it comes to the real online earners.
A content marketer, for example, can create a series of blog posts that serve to generate leads from a new ebook the business recently created. The company's social media marketer might then help promote these blog posts through paid and organic posts on the business's social media accounts. Perhaps the email marketer creates an email campaign to send those who download the ebook more information on the company. We'll talk more about these specific digital marketers in a minute.
Your success in business is dependent on your mental attitude, your strategy and your devotion to learning and developing yourself on a daily basis. Commit to your goal of becoming a successful Internet marketer and be persistent in your endeavours. Take these words of advice into consideration and go for it. I hope that they help you to become successful in your online venture.
However, if you're like the hundreds of millions of other individuals that are looking to become the next David Sharpe, there are some steps that you need to take. In my call with this renowned online marketer, I dove deep the a conversation that was submerged in the field of internet marketing, and worked to really understand what it takes to be top earner. We're not just talking about making a few hundred or thousand dollars to squeak by here; we're talking about building an automated cash machine. It's not easy by any means.
Most online marketers find it necessary to outsource or delegate at least a few of their marketing tasks. It's rare that any one individual will excel at (much less have time for) every aspect of marketing: writing, communications, social media, technical SEO, etc. For this reason it's important to have great management skills -- in particular, the ability to inspire and motivate those around you to help you meet your goals.
Your Brand Persona and Target Audience. When you eventually start creating content, you have to know who you're talking to and tailor your brand voice to appeal to them uniquely. If you aren't targeting the right audience (those people who will lean in to hear what you're saying), you won't find success. And, if you can't find a way to stand out, you'll blend into the hordes of other brands competing for attention in your industry.
Word of mouth communications and peer-to-peer dialogue often have a greater effect on customers, since they are not sent directly from the company and are therefore not planned. Customers are more likely to trust other customers' experiences.[22] Examples can be that social media users share food products and meal experiences highlighting certain brands and franchises. This was noted in a study on Instagram, where researchers observed that adolescent Instagram users' posted images of food-related experiences within their social networks, providing free advertising for the products.[26]
Implement – this is where you just need to go and do it. But don't focus on all forms of online marketing at once. Otherwise, you will be spreading yourself thin, and you'll never become great at one thing. Instead, try to focus on one section until you feel that you are pretty good at it. For example, I got good at SEO first, then social media marketing and then content marketing. Now, I am focusing my efforts on email marketing.
An aesthetically pleasing and informational website is an excellent anchor that can easily connect to other platforms like social networking pages and app downloads. It's also relatively simple to set up a blog within the website that uses well-written content with "keywords" an Internet user is likely to use when searching for a topic. For example, a company that wants to market its new sugar-free energy drink could create a blog that publishes one article per week that uses terms like "energy drink," "sugar-free," and "low-calorie" to attract users to the product website.
Whether in business, self-development or Internet marketing, growth can be rapidly moved forward by finding a mentor. Mentoring helps you develop at a faster rate, helping you learn faster, develop skills more adeptly and avoid making the same mistakes over and over again. A mentor, like a good teacher, will help you understand exactly what you need to learn, how to learn it and the best time for you to execute the knowledge.
Google's core algorithms and its propensity to shroud its data in layers of obscurity is not something new. However, it is critical to any understanding of marketing on the internet simply because this visibility is at the heart of everything else that you do. Forget about social media and other forms of marketing for the time being. Search engine optimization (SEO) offers up the proverbial key to near-limitless amounts of traffic on the web.
Writing blog posts is especially effective for providing different opportunities to land on page one of search engines -- for instance, maybe your eyeglass store's website is on page three of Google for "eyeglasses," but your "Best Sunglasses of 2018" blog post is on page one, pulling in an impressive amount of traffic (over time, that blog post could also boost your overall website to page one).
Online marketing is usually a long-term endeavor. For this reason, it's critical that you maintain your focus over the long haul. This means setting attainable goals -- both short and long-term -- and not being swayed or distracted by irrelevant trends or fads. It means staying on task and seeing your plans through to completion, even when those around you may be trying new strategies and shifting course. While it's certainly important to remain flexible and adaptive, changing your focus frequently can significantly eat into your productivity and leave you in a constant state of flux.
There are ten essential types of marketing that can be done online. Some of these can be broken down into organic marketing and others can be categorized as paid marketing. Organic, of course, is the allure of marketing professionals from around the planet. It's free and its unencumbered traffic that simply keeps coming. Paid marketing, on the other hand, is still a very attractive proposition as long as the marketing pays for itself by having the right type of offer that converts.
Internet marketing is the job of creating a convincing message that attracts customers to an online product. Successful online marketers come from a variety of backgrounds, including business, graphic design, writing and IT fields. You can find resources on the web to learn more about Internet marketing. Try taking on a small initial project and add the results to your personal work portfolio. Use the portfolio to interview for jobs in the field, or to find work as a freelancer.

A unique celebration of April Fool's Day, invoking the Fool within and returning to 0. The Fool teaches us to unleash our inner joy and take each step or moment as it comes, realising that every moment is pure potential. If we allow ourselves to move past our perceived blocks, circumstances or ideas, the opportunities are limitless, it is time to step off the cliff! We can learn to get in touch with our childlike wonder once again and bring this to our lives in a meaningful way.
Mama Cacao will be a helpful guide to allow us to feel safe and grounded, going deeper within whilst dissolving illusions and allowing us to step into new ways of being. We will use sound, breath and movement to embody "the Fool's Journey" in an uplifting way.
"The truth is we are already free, the only thing that stands in our way are the concepts, ideas and illusions that we create. Once this truth is realised, everything we thought was blocking our path begins to dissolve." Louise Firetree
What to expect
You will be safely held in a sacred space to go at your own pace, and as deeply or gently within your own being. The groups are small so that there is space for your own personal journey. You will be guided by music, sound, breath and drumming as well as hands on healing if needed. There is always time for rest and reflection.
About the medicine
Mama Cacao is a potent healer, this tree medicine helps us to connect with our inner wisdom and creativity so that we can dissolve our own blockages and create new pathways into being. Cacao is particularly helpful for heart and hara activation, opening up the channels and creating permanent changes.
Cacao is likely to make you feel more alive from the inside in a gentle, loving way. This is due to the effects of the many stimulating, warming and feel good natural chemicals it contains. Please be aware that this may keep you awake for a few hours after the ceremony, however most people find they want to rest very shortly afterwards as it takes them quietly within.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding it is very healthy and a potent time for you and your baby, a smaller dose is recommended. Your baby will tell you :-).
Contraindications: This medicine does not mix well with anti-depressants or anti-pyschotics. Please talk to me if you have any doubts such as heart or blood pressure.
To prepare the physical body some preparation and cleansing is recommended and full details will be sent in advance. This will mostly involve refraining from dairy, alcohol and caffeine for 3 days, most importantly for 24hours before and after the ceremony.
It is also advised if you can plan for a restful evening and day after the ceremony, although it won't affect your daily activities, there is still some processing happening at a physical and emotional level for a few days.
Also consider your intention for this ceremony, what do you wish to invite in, let go of or ask help with? Intentions are very useful tools for communicating with plant medicine and creating an anchor for us to focus throughout the ceremony. It can be precise or unpolished, just give it some thought and if it comes in the moment, that is fine too.

In Maryland, you have the power to choose your electricity and natural gas suppliers. More than 500,000 Marylanders have already switched energy suppliers. Need a good reason to switch? Some suppliers regularly offer rates and service that are 10% or more cheaper than the utility. Things could get worse - Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. has proposed a rate increase it says would boost the average residential customer's total bill by $5.77 per month. A recent Choose Energy survey found that more than 86 percent say they've never chosen a competitive Maryland electricity plan, meaning they're probably paying more than they have to for energy. Don't pay more. Just enter your ZIP code above to see how you can begin saving with Choose Energy!
A feed-in tariff (FIT) is an energy-supply policy that supports the development of renewable power generation. FITs give financial benefits to renewable power producers. In the United States, FIT policies guarantee that eligible renewable generators will have their electricity purchased by their utility.[2] The FIT contract contains a guaranteed period of time (usually 15–20 years) that payments in dollars per kilowatt hour ($/kWh) will be made for the full output of the system.
Since 2002, Amigo Energy has been one of the best electric companies in Texas. Not only that, but more recently we've received far fewer Public Utilities Commission of Texas (PUC) complaints than most other large residential electricity providers across the state.2 In fact, our customer service gets even better over the phone because our call-in customers have yet to file a PUC complaint this year.3 This ain't our first rodeo—with over 15 years of experience and a track record of reliable service, you can trust Amigo Energy as your retail electricity provider.
You may have noticed a lot of electric companies offering a ton of plans and services. But not all light companies in Texas are created equal. So which one is right for you? At Amigo Energy, we want you to trust that you're getting a custom energy plan at a good price—not just a quick fix that'll cost you more down the road. In fact, JD Power gave us four out of five stars for pricing, beating out a ton of other large retail electricity providers.4
The problem is that across Africa, the vast majority of the power utilities are effectively bankrupt. Another World Bank study (pdf) on African Utilities shows that only two of the 39 African utilities surveyed, in the Seychelles and Uganda, were able to generate enough cash to cover both their operating costs and capital expenditures necessary to invest in the maintenance and expansion of the grid. In fact, only 19 of the 39 companies were able to generate enough cash to cover their day-to-day operating costs. It means the rest were not even able to pay everyday costs, like salaries, in full.
Gone are the days when you had to contact electric companies to discover their rates, and negotiate a better deal on your own. Today, Vault Electricity does the work for you, handling the entire process of finding the best Texas electricity rates and plans from providers that have a pedigree of business stability, customer service, eco-friendliness, and financial transparency. This allows you to shop for electricity in just a few minutes, right from your computer.
We've pioneered our techniques and grown our expertise in the retail energy industry for more than a decade. With hundreds of thousands of customers and firm investor backing, we're a company you can count on. Spark Energy is also proud to be a publically traded company: our NASDAQ ticker is SPKE.

text: Hello all, This morning I built Snort 2.0.5 on a machie running Linux 8 using the command "rpmbuild -ta <name of snort tarred gzipped filename>". The build went fine. I added my site snort.conf and rules files and tryed to start snort. Snort did not start. Upon checking the log I found that the default rpmbuild does not make an rpm capable of logging to mysql. I then did a little searching and found how to build the package logging to mysql. The command "rpmbuild --with mysql -ta <name of snort tarred gzipped filename>" worked just fine apparently (at least the snort rpm was built in the RPMS/i386 directory. My problem is now that the resulting rpm will not install. The error is as follows: [afed at ...2282... i386]$ sudo rpm -ivh snort-2.0.5-1.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: snort = 2.0.5 is needed by snort-mysql-2.0.5-1 [afed at ...2282... i386]$ Ummm what gives? This is snort that I am installing! Anyone else running into this behavior, or am I doing something wrong? Havve a GREAT day all! later, marty.

Multimodal shortsea shipping operator DFDS has acquired a new Liebherr LHM 420 mobile harbour crane to support its growing operations in Immingham
The arrival of the crane comes hot on the heels of the announcement of enhanced DFDS liner services between Immingham-Norway-Belgium at the start of 2019.
The new crane has a maximum hook lift capacity of 124 tonnes and a maximum outreact of 48m. It will be used to handle containers with a twin 20 spreader, project cargo and break-bulk cargo handling. It is also equipped with a cable reeling system, to plug into the port's grid as required.
DFDS Terminal Director Alan Finch said, "The new Liebherr LMH 420 crane will operate in conjunction with our existing Gottwald crane to maximise the lifespan of the older equipment. They will work in consecutive dual activities to enhance customer co-operation and flexibility and eliminating the need for additional crane hire."
DFDS says that the specification and choice of manufacturer were carefully considered, taking account of its eeds to maintain current crane cycle times - given its greater lift capacity - as well as optimal running cost, operational longevity and optional external low-voltage electric power source. These factors will ensure operational efficiency, reliability, availability and meeting all Health and Safety legislation requirements are met.
Although classed as a mobile crane, the Liebherr LMH 420 will spend most of it's working life serving vessels at DFDS Dockside, the Immingham inner harbour operated by DFDS, which at the beginning of December handled the lifting of the Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree on its way from Norway to London.
Finch added: "With this significant investment we can lift even heavier cargoes for third party shippers with the flexibility of shorter lead times. Alongside heavy lift cargo, DFDS Dockside is also a hive of activity for a wide range of other lift-on, lift off commodities and units such as steel, containers and breakbulk cargo."
Andrew Byrne, Managing Director of DFDS Seaways PLC added: "The new £3M crane is part of an exciting investment and expansion programme at Immingham. Despite the present global uncertainity we are growing our range of services and improving the experience for our customers. This crane is the embodiment of that programme and I know a number of our staff are really excited about the prospect of operating such a large and technologically advanced machine.
"The crane's arrival went to plan and whilst bad weather at sea delayed the crossing to Immingham, we are still on course to enhance our cargo handling from the beginning of 2019. Our plans include expanding our workforce and we have also aquired a bigger footprint on the dock to handle increased volumes of cargo."
In common with many shortsea deliveries of erect MHCs from Rostock, Liebherr chartered a Meri ro-ro ship for the sailing to Immingham. With this method, the crane is rolled on and off using its own power, and the boom is raised by Liebherr's commissioning engineers after discharge.

A ribbon around a bomb
Visiting the V&A's Frida Kahlo exhibition
This week I visited the V&A, who are exhibiting Frida Kahlo: Making Her Self Up. A deeply intimate look into Kahlo's life and work, with an emphasis on her striking personal style. Frida's life is of deep fascination to many. Her posthumous success can be partly attributed to the rise of the feminism movement in the 70s, that saw more to her than simply 'Wife of the master mural painter Diego Rivera.' For many women, Frida has become a symbol of Revolution.
The V&A shares her charming and all too captivating nature in a chronological sequence. Starting from her early life, which features photos of a teenage Frida in a suit, through to her last years in which she visited her own exhibition on a hospital bed.
To erect an artist's mind, or attempt to, up onto walls and glass cabinets is no easy feat. Humans are layered, we carry with us many faces and capturing that can be difficult, to say the least. With much of Frida's source material and inspiration plastered on the walls, the experience quickly becomes an emotional one. Her health difficulties including several miscarriages, demonstrated by her doctor's notes, now sitting for show and tell. A particularly poignant moment where the question has to be asked: Was this level of intrusion necessary?
Perhaps, to get the 'full picture' — you can only presume that permission has been sought from those that were once closest to her. Still, is this what she would've wanted?
Too many times, there's a niggling discomfort that follows discovery. The empty medicine bottles that once stood on her desk, now in a glass case for us all to ponder at. The letters she received from her lover, in plain English for us to gawk at. It's all well and good learning more about people we admire, people who've changed their world, as well as ours. In this pursuit, what lines are we willing to cross?
It's a few weeks later now and I don't have the answer, at least for myself. I haven't come to THE conclusion that I thought I would. The one sentence conclusion that would tie this mess into a neat bow. All I come up with, eventually: We'll never know what she would've wanted, though curators do a thorough job in resurrecting her spirit.
Now, all that's left is to prod you: go see Frida Kahlo's life and work at the V&A. At the least it will leave you with some ethical questions. And at it's best it is fuel, with the power to ignite fire within you. An ode to Kahlo's timeless, uninhibited spirit. A spirit that was once described by André Breton as a ribbon around a bomb.

A spontaneous inkling to get away led us to Mount Palomar - a place we've never been before. It was also the last place in Southern California that offered a camping spot, but that's not important. We grabbed our camping gear, hard kombucha, and drove up the windy road to the summit.Read More
Day Trip to Mount Laguna
in Travel
One of my favorite places near San Diego is Mount Laguna. It's a short, 50 minute drive east and yet it feels like another state. I've always been drawn to the mountains; it's so quiet and peaceful. I can finally slow down and collect my thoughts while I escape life for a bit.Read More

Cigarettes-to-hospitality conglomerate ITC is exploring the possibility of entering the healthcare sector in the country. To this end, the company has notified the BSE about a postal ballot it sent to its shareholders to vote on the proposal.
The notification said, "to consider and, if thought fit, to pass the following resolution as a Special Resolution:
To establish, purchase, take on lease or otherwise acquire, promote, set up, manage, maintain, operate, administer or assist in managing, maintaining or promoting multi speciality hospitals, medical and health care centres, mobile health centres, nursing homes, diagnostic centres, dispensaries, pharmacies, clinics, laboratories, polyclinics, drug and medical accessories stores, nutrition and dietetic counselling centres, medical colleges, nursing colleges, medical research centres, facilities for training, development & skilling of related manpower, and to engage in and support medical tourism and all other related medical, surgical, curative and health services and allied activities."
The company said it was exploring the possibility of setting up multi-speciality hospitals, mobile medical vans, training centres, nursing homes, counselling centres, medical colleges, medical tourism, and more.
ITC said that its plans of making way into the medical and healthcare sector was "in the context of the company's vision to sub-serve national priorities which has driving its operations, diversification initiatives and CSR policies and practices."
It said that bearing that in mind, "the Board of Directors of the company had recommended exploring and entering the area of healthcare in India, inter alia, by way of setting up state of the art world class multi speciality hospitals."
If the shareholders vote for the motion, ITC will go up against established players like Apollo Hospitals and Fortis Healthcare. The capital intensive sector, however, will need to see significant investment by ITC to make its play into the sector and to find a place for themselves. However, given that the the medical facilities-to-population ratio or doctor-to-patient ratio and even the hospital beds-to-patients ratio in the country is quite high, there's more than enough space for ITC to make its mark.
On Friday, ITC's shares closed down Rs 273.05 apiece, down Rs 4.35 or 1.57% from previous close.
