On November 30th, 2012 Great Britain stopped its remaining yearly allocation of 25 million (USD) to the country of Rwanda after an important United Nations Report identified Paul Kagame's administration as the government responsible for supplying and training the M23 rebels. This news might have shocked the UK but everyone and I do mean everyone living on the continent of Africa knew that Rwanda was involved a couple months into the M23 rebellion. Just look at the pictures Al Jazeera took of the rebels entering Goma and you'll know by the crispness of their green fatigues and the shine of their new rain boots that someone with power and money had to have been supporting them. Even their guns gave them away as many carried rifles exclusively issued to soldiers conscripted into the Rwandan Army. But the most damning piece of evidence was their hats. Soldiers in the Rwandan army wear a distinct type of brimmed cap- the same cap that scores of M23 troops were photographed wearing on their heads as they entered Goma. And above all, no rebel army could have looked this polished and pressed if it had been left to scrape by on its own merits in the brutal terrain of Kivu district for the past eight months.
This withdrawal of monies may not hurt the government of Rwanda right away but if the UK decides to stop its total monetary award in aid to Rwanda for the upcoming 2012-2013 year, an estimated 118 million (USD) this could decidedly have a disastrous effect on the quality of life for the people living in Rwanda. After acknowledging the same report, the Netherlands withdrew 6.15 million (USD) in funds that had been earmarked to help Rwanda upgrade its current judicial system. And the United States stopped the transfer of a measly 200,000 (USD) in military aid this past July.
Uganda, also identified as involved in supporting the M23 forces to a lesser extent, suffered its own setback in aid when the UK withdrew around 44 million (UDS) in funds last month( November 16, 2012) after allegations of embezzlement were reported and linked to the office of Patrick Mbabazi, Prime Minister of Uganda. According to the charges, officials in the Prime Minister's office diverted a portion of these monies into their own private bank accounts. During the 2011-2012 year the UK was supposed to send a grand total of 44 million (USD) to Uganda but decided to withhold the final 18 million (USD) until a thorough investigation of the allegations has been completed. The UK had intentions of sending a total of 161 million (USD) to Uganda during the upcoming 2012-2013 year but according to officials in the government funding offices these new charges of fraud must be investigated and resolved before any further monies will be transferred into Ugandan government accounts.
The M23 rebels, true to their word, withdrew from Goma peacefully on late Saturday afternoon, December 1, 2012 but remained close by- near enough to the city to retake it if necessary. They did leave a small band of troops at the Goma Airport and if reports by local residents and United Nations personnel are to be believed- who but the illusive General Bosco Ntaganda, fellow Tutsi and current resident of Rwanda, led the M23 troops that secured the airport. The rebels agreed to leave the city after The International Conference of the Great Lakes Region negotiated a ceasefire and persuaded them to relinquish their eleven day occupation of Goma on the condition that they would be given the opportunity to present their demands to the president of the DR Congo, Joseph Kabila during formal negotiations hosted by Uganda. A team of M23 representatives are currently locked in negotiations there with the Foreign Minister of the DR Congo. M23 troops wait to see if the terms they previously stipulated, those awarded to them in the Lusaka Peace Accord Agreement at the end of the Second War in the Congo will be upheld by President Kabila. The United Nations Security Council refuses to condone the actions of the M23 Movement and showed their disapproval by placing two more of M23's leaders, Baudoin Ngaruye and Innocent Kaina on their Sanctions List.
A battalion of the Congolese army (FDRC) subsequently reentered Goma and hundreds of policemen resumed their duties but neither group was welcomed by the local citizenry after the violent way in which they conducted themselves as they retreated from the city once it was evident that M23 had been victorious. Incidents of rape, murder, and extortion of innocent citizens by soldiers in the Congolese army were reported throughout the city and it's evident that residents who've chosen to remain in Goma do not trust the actions or the intentions of the Congolese troops that have been newly assigned to the city.
The M23 rebels, according to the first-hand testimonies of people on the street, entered and exited in a far more peaceful and organized manner despite the scary rumors that had been spread throughout the city about M23 rebels engaging in raping women, murdering civilians, and conscripting young boys into their army. And in spite of this hype, no one was able to provide inquiring reporters with the names and details needed to support these vague claims. M23 was even credited with robbing currency worth millions of US dollars from the Central Bank of Goma and first- person accounts of the robbery were cited by reputable news agencies around the globe including The BBC until the Bank president came forward and provided factual information about the safe which proved that the numerous stories about the alleged bank heist were all untrue.
Meanwhile negotiations at the Speke Resort in Munyonyo, Uganda between M23 and Kabila's foreign minister have broken down once again. On Sunday, December 9th, M23's secretary accused Kabila's government of "doing nothing" to fix the severe problems in the eastern provinces and charged him with encouraging "the social exclusion of particular ethnic groups within the region". In stating this, the M23 representatives were specifically referring to the prejudicial treatment that Tutsi in the eastern provinces have received from the members of the other tribes in the region especially Hutu extremists. This has been an important concern all along for M23 and one of the primary reasons they left their posts in the Congolese army and formed the M23 Movement. By Monday, December 10th, 2012 the M23 delegation refused to attend the daily negotiation session. And why should they? According to information about the negotiations published in the Ugandan dailies when M23 emissaries made the monumental request: that " Joseph Kabila step down as President of the DR Congo and help create a transitional government approved by the people of the DR Congo, Kabila's minister countered by offering the rebels a personal incentive: "full integration back into the Congolese Army".
There is no way that Dr. Kiyonga, Uganda's defense minister and chief facilitator in these talks will be able to lead these two groups towards a compromise when their fundamental view of the situation is so vastly different. Does Joseph Kabila think he can bully and bluff his way through these negotiations and that somehow this volatile situation will disappear with no cost to his administration? Does he not recognize that the eastern region of his country is suffering through a rebellion and that those men sitting across from his defense minister are the very ones who've been winning the war?
And what about the critical injustices that have not been mentioned as of yet? The ones that lay at the heart of M23's rebellion- like how President Joseph Kabila has continued to support the Hutu Interhamwe, and other anti-Tutsi militias in the Eastern provinces just as his father did when he was president. The FDLR is made up of the same men, Hutu genocidaires whose main mission has always been to exterminate all Tutsi from Central and East Africa beginning with Rwanda. They were deliberately given asylum within the Eastern provinces by Laurent Kabila and used by him during the First and Second War in the Congo against Tutsi militias such as the CNDP. These extremist Hutu continue to live and prosper within northern Kivu District to this day and are responsible for the murders of thousands of innocent Congolese Tutsi and anyone else who stands in their way.
On November 22, 2012 General Gabriel Amisi, an associate of Joseph Kabila and Commander of the Congolese Infantry in eastern DR Congo was openly charged with distributing weapons to militias and other criminal elements operating within the eastern provinces according to a United Nation report submitted by a team of conflict specialists assigned to investigate this situation. The report specified how General Amisi administered the regular distribution of automatic weapons and ammunition to rebel forces and criminal groups operating in villages throughout the eastern districts. The weapons were identified as the same make as those issued to soldiers in the Conglese army and had been distributed at no cost to members of Mai-Mai militias and other rebel groups including the extremely violent Raïa Mutomboki, a Congolese militia accused of supporting the Hutu Interhamwe in the murder of members of the Tutsi ethnic group. The report also identified General Amisi as the individual who charged large sums of money for weapons he sold to poachers operating out of the Volcanoes National Park. This supports what the M23 rebels have claimed all along- that the government of the DRCongo is directly responsible for instigating the prejudicial treatment and murder suffered by the Tutsi living within its borders.
It is no surprise given Paul Kangame's personal history that as the current President of Rwanda and member of the Tutsi ethnic group he will not rest until he sees to it that all Hutu extremists have been hunted down and eradicated from Central and Eastern Africa. He has survived through more than one war fought to exterminate the Tutsi and has demonstrated that he is determined to stop any future attempts at another genocide. If this means he must start a Third War in the DR Congo in order to stop this senseless slaughter- so be it. He went to war over this once before and will do so again. Three essential experiences have helped bring him to this juncture in his life: his boyhood as a refugee in Uganda, his friendship with Fred Rwigyema, and the regeneration of the Rwandese Patriotic Front (RPF). Kagame owes the Tutsi population living around the Virunga Mountains a great personal debt for their support during a time when the RPF may not have stayed together as a fighting unit without their unfailing support.
Kagame was born in October of 1957 in a small village in southern Rwanda but by the time he was two years of age the 1959 Rwandan Revolution had begun when Grégoire Kayibanda overthrew the Tutsi monarchy in power. Enraged Hutus began slaughtering Tutsi that the Belgians had so openly admired and favored with civil service positions and land grants. Upwards of 100,000 Tutsi fled Rwanda seeking refuge in the neighboring countriesof Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and Burundi. The Hutu ethnic group was and still is the largest population living in the country of Rwanda. According to the Joshua Project (2012) Hutu account for 85% of the total population of Rwanda, Tutsi make up only 14% and the Twa (pygmy people) account for the other 1%. Eventually like other Tutsi in southern Rwanda, Kagame's family were forced to leave their village and make their way into Uganda. By 1962, they had settled in the Nshungerezi refugee camp. Paul Kagame knew what it felt like to live as a Tutsi refugee.
Uganda treated its Tutsi refugees harshly. All refugees were required to remain in their assigned camps and children born in Uganda to refugee parents did not qualify for Ugandan citizenship. In time, many hardworking Tutsis moved their families out of the crowded camps and settled in the surrounding countryside or in Ugandan villages. Some managed to establish businesses in the area. The Tutsi also sent their children to the United Nations Camp Schools that were established in order to educate the refugees. These schools helped a new generation of Tutsi qualify for civil service positions and land better paying jobs. But the success of the Tutsi refugees in Uganda caused a bitter resentment to fester in the hearts of the Ugandan tribes living near them. The leaders of those tribes feared that this ever-increasing population of Tutsi would eventually outnumber the total number of families in the Ugandan tribes and that the Tutsi would gain control over them. Eventually the local Ugandan citizens close to the camps became so intolerant of Tutsi culture that they openly discriminated against Tutsi in public and would not hire Tutsi for local positions even though they more than qualified. Paul Kagame must have experienced this type of prejudice and discrimination as he spent his youth within the camps.
Milton Obote, President of Uganda from 1966- 1971 actually passed a bill claiming that all Tutsi and Hutu Rwandese were " inferior to citizens of Uganda" and declared that they could be held by police and any other government officials without any charges. He ordered all Tutsi and Hutu fired from their jobs in the Civil Service. This affected the livelihood of many Tutsi and Hutu, some of whom had migrated to Uganda decades ago. Obote also prepared to conduct a country-wide census in order to better determine how many and where the Tutsi and Hutu populations were located in Uganda. He intended to use that data to deny them citizenship and the right to vote in national elections but a coup led by a military officer named Idi Amin ousted him from office in 1971.
The young Paul Kagame met his close friend and comrade Fred Rwigyema in a refugee camp and both men joined the National Resistance Army ( NRA) led by a young Ugandan leader named Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, currently President of Uganda.
Eventually after receiving military and intelligence training from Museveni, Fred Rwigyema along with James Kagame help found the Rwandese Patriotic Front ( RPF)- an army of young Tutsi willing to die in order to liberate their fellow Tutis from the suppression of the Rwandese Hutu during the late 1980's and early 1990's.. Rwigyema began his war by crossing from the town of Mirarna Hills into the Rwandan town of Kagitumba but the RPF found that they were outmanned during the skirmish and Rwigyema was eventually killed. Kagame hastily returned from military training in the United States to take command of what was left of the RPF troops. The main army of the RPF consisted of less than 2,000 men by the time Kagame was able to join them again and he knew that he needed to find a safe haven from which to recruit and train his new soldiers as well as adequately supply them for the push into Rwanda.
So he took his men west into the Virunga Mountains, (the same mountain range in which M23 hid out at the beginning of their rebellion). Living in secluded compounds located within these mountains gave Kagame access to the Tutsi population in western Uganda, Rwanda, and Eastern DR Congo. Hidden from the enemy while locked within these mountains, Kagame was able to take the time he needed to reorganize his army. And although the Tutsi population in the surrounding districts did not have much, they contributed what little they did have to the army that would go on to liberate their fellow Tutsi in Rwanda. He was given money and supplies; even fed his troops off of donations of food provided by these good people. With their help, Kagame eventually trained and equipped his soldiers for the war to come. He was able to leave his mountain stronghold in January of 1991 and continue his war on the Rwandese Hutu by initiating an attack on the Ugandan town of Ruhengeri.
And that is why Paul Kagame has every intention of re-entering the DR Congo, eradicating every last one of the Hutu Interhamwe living there, and securing the freedom of the Tutsi residing in eastern Kivu districts once and for all. And if, along the way he can annex the very lucrative areas of North and South Kivu Districts to Rwanda or make them a separate country, I believe he will.
And that is why President Joseph Kabila went straight to President Museveni of Uganda and President Kagame of Rwanda to air his grievances when the M23 rebels started winning battles and taking over towns. There was no doubt in his mind that both countries were behind these Tutsi patriots. Each of these three men are well accquainted with one another and have crossed paths on many occasions in the past. When asked, veterans of the First and Second Wars in the DR Congo will tell you that not only did Joseph Kabila attend Makerre University in Kampala but he also received his military training from the Ugandan army.
Maybe if Mr. Kabila actually took part in the negotiation process he'd get to observe the level of conviction in the eyes of the rebels sitting directly across the table from him. And he might recall that it was the same dogged determination that fueled his father's "kadogos" (child soldiers) and allowed Laurent Kabila to fight his way from Katanga into Kinshasa. Somewhere deep inside Paul Kagame and Yoweri Musesveni, the guerrilla fighters they once were continue to reside- ready to forfeit their lives for what they believe. Men such as these, willing to die for conditions they are convinced must improve, have no intention of standing down.

My Rant on the Approval numbers shown below:
Well it looks like "whitey" as we are referred to by Bo's militant other half, are about to drop that approval level to a low that could spell trouble for all in elected positions. Black America as Michele often refers to African Americans, as well as other Americans that voted for Bo need to look around & ask themselves if anything & I mean anything has improved?
Maybe your road has improved..no pot holes! Or your local train station was renovated, etc. Big deal!
Job creation may have been there on the latter, but it only lasted until the job was complete.
A few weeks or so. If you look at it clearly, this president knowingly produced projects that were a flash in the pan and weeks later the unemployment figures jump. I wonder why? Then more spending on what seems to be extended unemployment. Just putting the economy in a roller coaster effect.
So it's time for African-Americans to be just Americans & take a hard look at what the president is doing to all Americans.
Not just "whitey" as Michele eagerly wants you to think. I know the accomplishment of having a black president is huge in this country but if the guy can't do the job black or white he has to go.
It seems to me that there is a fear amongst elected officials that if they oppose the president & some do passionately.
They will be looked upon as being racist. Among the ever present militant leaders the "RACE CARD" will be played.
That has been an age old response in Washington but has been turned up to a few degrees hotter in this presidency.
This is what has also fostered the arrogance in this administration!
This has occurred also in the Justice System with the current Attorney General Eric Holder & he also gets what he wants because of the same fear.
It is time for The "Roberts" Supreme Court to step in & right the wrongs of this administration, even if it warrants impeachment proceedings. The impeachment proceedings should have begun months ago, but that "fear" of someone
calling "foul…race card" is still at large!
If other elected officials can't do the job… black or white, give them the Pink Slip
and let's get this back on track.
Oh, And all of you knuckleheaded celebrities that campaigned for this abortion of change.
Try putting your money where your mouth is now!
As President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, "In politics there are no accidents. If it happens you can bet it was planned that way."
So ask yourselves the question, Do you approve of this plan?
Ask yourself again, Is anything better? Better yet….Is there anyone else better to do the job?
Approval numbers…….
Just read some interesting statistics on Obama's approval rating.
Whites: 38%
Blacks: 88% same as inauguration day. Went from 88-94-88%
Hispanics: 54%. Went from 82-54%
Draw your own conclusions.

>On the Eve of the Nativity
- At December 24, 2010
- By Susan
- In Uncategorized
- 1
>It's Christmas Eve morning and the sky is gray. We're hoping for a white Christmas while also praying for safe travels for our loved ones en route to share the holiday with friends and family. In the midst of cleaning and cooking and all the preparations for tonight (Nativity Feast at St. John Orthodox Church here in midtown Memphis) and tomorrow (our Christmas dinner at home, with Jonathan and a few friends from St. John) I'm pausing to share a few favorite Christmas videos. Enjoy!
MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS VIDEO EVER: Serbian Christmas carol video.
Actually, that was the "rehearsal" for this video.
Romanian Nativity Hymn with talanton—the wooden boards that are "played" before the bells are rung at the beginning of worship services.
Arabic Byzantine Hymn (chanted) of the Nativity.
Russian Orthodox Christmas celebration in Moscow (January 7)
I love the ICONS in this Ethiopian Orthodox Christmas Story.
Be sure and keep watching… about 4 minutes in, the story is told with the folk icons.
This is the style I was copying when I did the painting with my Goddaughter, Sophie, of Ethiopian folk art.
And finally, an entry from one of my favorite secular artists—Sting: "If On a Winter's Night."
As I suspected, more beautiful Christmas cards have arrived since my last post, and I'd like to share two very creative ones with you to end this post. (And yes, two more that aren't hand-crafted but are beautiful, so I put them in with this post, here…
… and here.
First, from Sarah and Joel Finley in Nashville, this hand-crafted card (that unfolds to reveals a Christmas letter on the back) was lovely. The Finleys have a CD out and you can buy it on their Facebook Page, or their web site: Lulu Mae Music.
And the final card I'll feature this year is from our friends Michael and Margaret Elliott (Margaret is our fabulous choir director at St. John). The card features their sons, Paul and James, and it's in the shape of a Christmas ornament, complete with string for hanging. If you listened to some of the Orthodox Christmas music in these videos, you can appreciate Margaret's talent and hard work that she contributes to our worship at St. John. Thanks for helping us make a "joyful noise unto the Lord," Margaret!
Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!
And to my Orthodox friends: Christ is Born!

Rotterdam is an rising world chief in the healthcare and medical industry.

One other factor to note right here is that this comes on the heels of Obama Health care kicked started and open registration for its meant 50 million individuals(the quantity varies and fluctuates depending on who's saying it-some say 20 million).

There's a lot to love about cork as an eco-friendly material: It's 100% natural, biodegradable and renewable and no cork oak tree is ever harmed in the harvesting process.
While cork oak is a great option for flooring because of its insulation properties, elasticity, and impenetrability to moisture, mildew, fungus, dirt, debris, and insects, still, almost 60% of the world's cork is used in wine production.
Because of a worldwide interest in sustainable agriculture and natural products like cork, Amorim, the world's largest producer of natural cork wine closures—over 3 billion annually—and the manufacturer of Wicanders Cork Oak Flooring, and Portocork America, have instituted a pilot program in California and the Pacific North West to recycle natural cork wine closures.
Known as ReCORK America, the program is focused on obtaining used and surplus corks from winery tasting rooms, bottling lines and quality assurance laboratories, as well as from collection locations established at local restaurants and key retailers.
Wine corks don't need to end up as landfill when recycled cork can become flooring tiles, building insulation, automotive gaskets, craft materials, soil conditioner and sports equipment. So don't pitch off your corks after you polish off your wine. Visit ReCORK America's Web site to find out how you too can make a difference, one cork at a time!

For the past several years, we've been reaping the culinary benefits of an admirable friendship and partnership – naturally we're talking about Esra Muslu and Zeynep Moroğlu, the two ladies behind the popular eateries Backyard, Auf and Kauf. With their latest venture in Karaköy, diagonal to Karabatak, they aim to offer no-frills flavours (both street food and new discoveries) in a three-storey bohemian space that really suits the neighbourhood.
At Unter, you're guaranteed to find the best thinly sliced liver you've ever had. This Turkish dish is extraordinarily soft here, the result of a unique marination process, and comes served with its usual accompaniments of potato and onion. Another great find here is the chicken rotisserie you'll see in the corner of the kitchen. You could also try seasonal fish, quiche or a hefty sandwich on homemade bread. The menu changes frequently and is likely to surprise you on each visit.
In the evening, the tables on the ground floor are removed, and that's when Unter breaks out the kegs of Guinness and Hoegaarden. For the serious partiers among us, the Jägerinha is a must-try.

Indiana Jones is one of those iconic characters that many of us as kids, pretended to be. He was the bullwhip crackin, fedora wearing explorer that we only hoped we could be and for the longest time, I assumed that an archaeologist was someone who traveled into remote areas looking for treasure to bring back to the museums. I think that Indiana Jones was responsible for sending many kids from the 80's off into a career of archaeology much in the same way that Jurassic Park another Spielberg movie sent kids off to become paleontologists.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is a near perfect movie in the eyes of many people. It has memorable characters, iconic action sequences and it's a whole lot of fun. One of the movies most iconic sequences and possibly one of the most iconic sequences of any movie has to be that of the rolling boulder. Here we see Indiana Jones working to grab an idol, thinking everything is fine and then the trap is sprung and he must escape or face certain death.
Yet, that scene almost didn't happen and some of the more memorable sequences within the scene happened by accident all things I was unaware of until I checked out the above video from CineFix. In the video they really break down and analyze that scene to decipher what made it work and what made it so memorable and along the way add in a bit of trivia and facts that you may not know.
If you love Raiders Of The Lost Ark this Art Of The Scene is definitely worth checking out.

A gap analysis is an assessment tool that enables a corporation to compare its current capabilities and performance with industry benchmarks and expectations for performance. A gap analysis is used to establish areas that have room for improvement.
Gap analysis can also be used for your Employee Wellness Plan to determine
where the program stands now and how the Employee Wellness Plan can better follow
evidence-based recommendations.
To start a gap analysis, ask these simple questions about your Employee Wellness
- What is the current state of the Employee Wellness Program?
- How does the Employee Wellness Plan measure up to evidence-based practices?
(i.e., the desired state)
The gap is the difference between the current and desired states.
After the gap has been identified, the next step is to determine the action
steps that are needed to close the gap. These actions answer the question: "How
can the Employee Wellness Plan move forward towards the desired state?"
Sometimes the gaps that need to be filled can be addressed through Employee
Wellness Plan changes; other gaps might require policy changes. However, using
a gap analysis will help you establish areas for Employee Wellness Plan improvement
and the actions needed to make progress towards those goals.

Shopping in Helsinki
Helsinki is a paradise for shopaholics with any number of unique boutiques and larger shopping emporia. World-famous Finnish design is particularly popular. Design icon Marimekko has several outlets in the city selling fresh and colourful products from clothing and accessories to household items. Vuokko Nurmesniemi's clothing creations are similarly appealing. Young Finnish fashion designers are also thriving, creating unique outfits that can often be found only in Helsinki. Check out, for example, the timeless designs by Samu-Jussi Koski in the Samuji shop. Other names worth looking for are Ilona Hyötyläinen at the Miun Shop, Paola Suhonen of IvanaHelsinki fame and Tiia Vanhatapio.
Lumi Accessories sells bags in all the colours of the rainbow. The brand's newest outlet is in the Tori Quarter by Senate Square, where many designer brands have opened boutiques recently.
Iittala, Arabia, Artek and Finlayson are all giants of Finnish design that are represented along the Esplanade. Popular products include Finnish art glass, orange Fiskars scissors and Alvar Aalto vases. Lots more Finnish design can be found in the Design District, where you will also find the Design Forum Shop at Design Forum Finland. Taito Shop Helsky sells the highest quality Finnish handicrafts, including woollen mittens and linen textiles.
Helsinki's shopping centres are perfect for getting a lot of shopping done quickly. Both Kamppi and Foorum in the city centre offer a wide range of modern shops and reasonably priced restaurants, Kiseleff House in the Tori Quarter has smaller boutiques and handicrafts shops, Galleria Esplanade has many international brands, and Kluuvi has numerous clothing stores. Outside the centre, the largest shopping centre in the Nordic region can be found in Itäkeskus.
Among Helsinki's department stores, the most legendary is Stockmann, which sells a comprehensive range of goods from books and clothing to interior design, electronics and cosmetics. The main shopping streets are Aleksanterinkatu, Eerikinkatu, Fredrikinkatu, Uudenmaankatu and Esplanadi.

The stalls in the Market Square and Hakaniemi Market sell everything from traditional market food to handicrafts and souvenirs.
Hietaniemi Flea Market is also extremely popular in summertime. The locals gather at the market to buy and sell everything from interior design to clothing and furniture.

I don't really want to get into the habit of discussing my process on this blog. Or really anything about my projects in any kind of detail. Part of this is paranoia, and part of it is just that I've never really been able to talk about things that have not yet been written without feeling like I was losing some part of that creative spark that drives me.
But, I can't really help myself from saying this much:
I am absolutely head over heels in love with my characters. Every blasted one of them. It doesn't matter if they're my protagonist, or my antagonist. If they're my primary or my secondary, or my tertiary. I love them. I love especially my menfolk. I love slipping into their heads and looking at the world through their eyes. I love following them as they come to revelations about themselves-- little or big. I love my characters, and every step that brings them closer to life.
I love my characters, and it's that love that drives me to write.
Facets of Fate, a Fate of the Gods novella and short story collection, is available now in print and ebook!

Students' Trips to Jajce and Travnik
With regard to celebration of the Sovereignty Day of Bosnia and Herzegovina, students of English Language and Literature Department together with Prof. Dr. Senad Bećirović had a trip to two historical cities, Jajce and Travnik. The aim was to acquaint students with a part of the rich culture and history of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In the City of Jajce students visited breathtaking Pliva Waterfall uniquely located in the city where river Pliva meets river Vrbas, with the hight of 22 meters that makes it sixth largest in the world. Afterwards a group climbed all the way up to the Old town and authentic historical Jajce Fortress, built in the 14. Century.
After enjoying in the beauties of Jajce, students traveled back to Travnik, where they visited the Medieval Castle, which was, according to assumptions, built in 15. Century. The end of the journey was embellished by the visit to significant cultural and the oldest educational institution in Travnik, Madrasah of Elci Ibrahim Pasha built during Ottoman Empire.

'I'm ready to serve,' says African cardinal who could become first black Pope
- Ghana's Cardinal Peter Turkson says he is willing to serve as Pope
- Church is 'ready' for a non-European Pope
- He says an African pontiff will help the church grow
Ready: Ghanain Cardinal Turkson says he is willing to serve as Pope 'if it is the will of God'
The first shot in the battle to succeed Benedict XVI was fired by an African candidate for the Papacy yesterday.
Cardinal Peter Turkson said 'young churches' of Africa and Asia were ready to provide worldwide leadership for Roman Catholicism.
The intervention came just 24 hours after Benedict's surprise retirement announcement, and signalled an open struggle for the succession between the European establishment and the fast-growing Catholic churches of the southern hemisphere.
Cardinal Turkson, a 64-year-old Ghanaian, said he was willing to serve as Pope himself 'if it is the will of God'.
The Cardinal, who has headed the Vatican office on international peace and justice for the past four years, said that African and Asian churches have produced 'mature clergymen and prelates that are capable of exercising leadership also of this world institution'.
He said that although the churches of the south had been 'growing exponentially' under European Popes, a Pope from the south 'would go a long way to strengthen them in their resolve'.
Cardinal Turkson's comments open up a rivalry between the European favourites to succeed Benedict and candidates from Africa, Asia and Latin American, whose churches are perceived as strong and growing at a time when Catholics are under pressure in their historic strongholds.
Liberal complaints about gay rights and the status of women have combined with sex abuse scandals to put a question mark over loyalty to the church and its leadership in Europe and America.
Congregations are also seen to be falling as Catholics lose faith in much of Europe and America.
The Ghanaian cardinal, who would be the first ever black Pope if elected by next month's conclave, said: 'I think in a way the church is always and has forever been ready for a non-European Pope.'
Cardinal Turkson added that it was vital for the church to restore its authority in the wake of sex scandals. 'Being the Pope of the church is not going to be an easy task,' he said.
'We need to repair our credibility. Our pastors need to be believed in again and recognised and taken seriously.
'If we say we are celibate clergy, we need to live faithfully to that celibacy. There is one thing we cannot compromise on and that is our credibility.'
Cardinal Francis Arinze from eastern Nigeria has also been linked to the highest office in the faith.
The election of a black pope could be controversial in parts of Eastern Europe where racism remains a problem.
Two other contenders, Cardinal Odilo Scherer, Archbishop of San Paolo, and the French-Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet, would also be a break with the tradition of electing only European popes.
Nigerian Cardinal Francis Arinze is seen as an outside contender for the job
After the long reign of a Polish pope – John Paul II – and a German pope, the Italian Catholic church will put a lot of pressure on cardinals to support an Italian for the papacy.
Among its favourites are Cardinal Angelo Scola, Archbishop of Milan, and Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, Archbishop of Genoa.
Benedict's resignation shocked churchgoers and left the senior ranks of the church in turmoil.
Revealing his decision to a gathering of cardinals on Sunday, he said his 'strength of mind and body' had failed in the last few months.
The Vatican denied that any single medical complaint was responsible but speculation centred on 85-year-old Benedict's arthritis problems.
Italian-Argentine Leonardo Sandri could be the first non-European leader of the Roman Catholic church
He needs a moving platform to take him to the altar in St Peter's, and it is difficult for him to kneel and pray.
On Monday it emerged that the Pope made his decision to quit last April following a tour of Mexico and Cuba.
The resignation, to take effect on the last day of this month, means a
conclave of senior cardinals will meet in Rome to choose a successor by
the end of March.
He sprung his surprise at a meeting to canonise three new saints.
Some cardinals didn't understand what Benedict had told them and others looked stunned. 'All the cardinals remained shocked and were looking at each other,' said Monsignor Oscar Sanchez, who was in the room at the time.
Argentinian Jorge Mario Bergoglio (left), 77, and Honduran Cardinal Oscar Andres Rodrigues Maradiaga (right), 70, have both been tipped as potential future popes
Italians Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone (right), 78, and Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco (right), 70, are potential candidates for the position which, until John Paul II, was always held by a man from Italy
After the news was announced to the wider world Benedict said in a statement: 'I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry (the papacy).
Odilo Scherer, 63, Archbishop of Sao Paolo, is one of the younger contenders for the job
'In today's world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognise my incapacity to adequately fulfil the ministry entrusted to me.'
A Vatican spokesman admitted: 'It has taken us by surprise a bit.'
The Dean of the College of Cardinals, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, said it was 'a bolt from the blue'.
Among those with knowledge of the state of the Pope's health is his brother, Georg, 89. He said yesterday: 'His age is weighing on him. My brother wants more rest.'
The Pope had demanding tours ahead of him, including a visit to Brazil in July for the church's World Youth Day.
The Vatican said his immediate future will be spent at Castel Gandolfo, the Papal villa south of Rome, and that after his resignation he will retreat to a monastery.
Tom Montgomery, a second year seminarian from the diocese of Westminster studying at the Vatican said: 'We were absolutely gobsmacked. Everyone is shocked.
'But Benedict has been a Pope of surprises. He's changed from being the Cardinal Rottweiler to being a German Shepherd. People said he hadn't the charisma of John Paul. But he is a great teacher. People came to see John Paul but they come to hear Ratzinger.'
David Cameron said: 'His visit to Britain in 2010 is remembered with great respect and affection. He will be missed as a spiritual leader to millions.'

Megan Moylan returns to attempt title defense.
The tee times for Saturday's first round of the EDWGA Stroke Play Tournament list some familiar names within the local women's golf scene.
No trio is more decorated than the 12:15 p.m. group which opens the two-day competition at North East's Lake View Country Club.
Steph Urban, a five-time association winner, also seeks a sweep of this summer's majors. The Lawrence Park Country Club member claimed her second career Match Play championship on her home course in June.
Urban defeated Megan Moylan in the final. Moylan, who last year became the first female to record a calendar sweep of the association's Match and Stroke Play tournaments, also tees off in Saturday's initial group.
Megan Moylan and older sister Kelly each played golf for North East and Lehigh University. Kelly Moylan, the association's 2016 Match Play medalist, is in Saturday's 12:23 group that also includes 2015 Match Play winner Georgia Capotis.
Saturday's 15-player field also lists three golfers who are days away from their latest high school varsity seasons.
Sarah White (Mercyhurst Prep) joins Kelly Moylan and Capotis at 12:23. Natalie Brosig (McDowell) goes at 12:31 and Kym Henry (Villa Maria) at 12:39.

A month or two ago my (hardest-working, inspirational teacher) friend Jonathan casually mentioned that he was going to see PULP in Hyde Park and would I like to come? Yes Yes Yes. Oh NO. My best friend's wedding. Erase the thought. A week or so later he muttered something about Blondie at Somerset House, and I was on the phone to Ticketmaster before he'd finished his sentence. I LOVE Blondie (the soundtrack to the best nights of my life), and last night's concert was my midsummer night's dream Debbie Harry rocked the classic in a peroxide wig, shades, pencil skirt and bustier. All in Rapture - as Somerset House blushed hot pink against the night sky.
J and I
Wish I still lived with Jonathan. Just like old times. (Except now I'm wearing Valentino). I'll resist the sudden impulse to bleach my hair and cut a fringe.Back then I would have done it the next day, just for kicks. Now I'd scare my kids.

Oregon Desert Palette
Reference library of sixty raw earth pigment colors collected in the high desert of southeastern Oregon, from 1997 to 2010.
Media: cigar box, re-used glass vials with corks, earth pigments collected in Oregon.
Box: 10 ¾" x 7" x 1"
Testing for Color
In the field when I find an appealing color of rock, I make a test by scratching it on a harder rock or on a metal file. If it yields little or no color, I leave it behind.The site is at the summit of Steens Mountain (approximately 10,000 feet) in Oregon's high desert.
Collecting Pigment
My focus is primarily on Oregon's high desert, but I collect raw earth colors wherever I travel. This site is east of Adel, Oregon. I never collect in a national or state park, or any park for that matter.
Set of Colors
A group of colors collected during a road trip in Oregon's high desert.
Mortar & Pestle
Back in the studio I use a stone mortar & pestle to break up the rock. If it is as soft as chalk, breaking it down takes no time at all.
Ground Pigment
Transfering the roughly ground pigment onto a marble slab.
After the mortar & pestle, the pulverized rock is sifted onto a marble slab or piece of plate glass for mulling into a fine powder.
A glass muller is used to further grind the pigment into a very fine powder (not yet pictured). The grinding takes quite some time, then a small amount of water is added to mix it into a thick paste.
Add Binder
At this point, it is mixed with a binder to create paint. Different binders make different types of paint, such as watercolor, acrylic, oil, tempera, et cetera. The pulverized and mulled pigment can also be used as loose pastel; pastel sticks can also be made with another binder.

They were always patient with changes that needed to be made along the way and with my learning process of building a functional site.

The next review from the high end Makeup Haul I did is the Morphe 35OS Palette, I've been wanting to try this Palette for so long so I was so happy when I saw it on Beautybay in stock! I do have a Palette like this one by Sample Beauty but the Morphe Palettes are like a collection to me and I want to own every single Palette by them🎀
I am in love with this Palette and the colours that are included! The Palette cost £22 and I love it, the pigment is amazing and all the colours go so beautifully together. I love the simple packaging of all the Morphe palettes and products, the palettes are a,ways beautifully presented which I love. I've heard nothing but good reviews about this Palette so I was more excited to try it and when I received it I tried it out straight away💫
Above is the look I created with this Palette, first I used MAC paint pot in the shade Soft Ochre to set a nice base ready to apply the Eyeshadow. I then used the shade numbered 1 in my crease and blended it out, I then used shade number 2 all over my lid to set a base colour before I started with the other colours. Next I used shade 3 in the outer corner of my lid and blended it into my crease so there was no harsh lines. Then I used shade number 4 on the rest of lid and blended it out. Finally I went back in with shade 1 on my lower lash line to finish the look. I used Urban Decay Pervision Mascara on my lashes.
Let me know in the comments your thoughts and whether there is anything you would like me to review🎀💕 Also I am close to 100 followers so please give this post a like and follow me because I would really appreciate it! Until next time, Beccy x

introductory sightseeing tour which will feature the quaint and
traditional Dragor fishing village, photo stops at the Gefion

liner including, personal air conditioning, spacious
wardrobe, TV, phone, mini bar, safe and an incredible

Day 4: We arrive in Oslo this
morning and possibly the best way to really see it, is to jump
on the Hop on Hop off Bus, with full commentary. Highlights include
the spectacular Opera House and imposing Parliament buildings.
For history buffs stop off at the Viking Museum, or Ibsen Museum
where you can take in the magnificent Royal Castle at the same
time. Art lovers will revel in the Vigeland Sculpture Park. A
great day and plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere….isn't
it good. Norwegian wood!
Day 5: Today's the perfect opportunity
to familiarise yourself with the vast array of facilities and
services available on this beautiful floating resort as we spend
a relaxing first day at sea.
Day 6: On arriving at the port of Warnemunde
this morning our private coach and guide await to show us the
highlights of Berlin. Sights of particular significance include
the Graffiti Art on the Berlin Wall, popularised in many renowned
magazines and national TV networks at one time or another. We'll
see the City Hall and Berlin Cathedral and stroll down the beautiful
tree lined Boulevard Unter Der Linden to the historical Brandenburg
Gate. Nearby we'll see the Reichstag building and Checkpoint
Charlie. In the same area we'll visit the "Wall"
Museum and have a photo stop at the Holocaust memorial before
returning to the ship late afternoon.
Day 7: Today you can lay in and enjoy a late
breakfast, perhaps even dine in your stateroom if you choose,
then you have all day to try out any one of a number of the many
wonderful amenities and services on offer. That may be a cooking
demonstration, fitness class, guest lecture, movie or just relaxing
by the pool with a good book and a cool drink.
Day 8: There are a number of 'optional'
things to do in Tallinn, Estonia today, but for many the 15 min
walk from the port to the centre of the Old City, will offer all
the rewards of any day trip on a coach. The labyrinth of tiny
streets and narrow alleyways will enthral you, and shopping is
both interesting and plentiful. You'll find idyllic sidewalk
cafes and restaurants all over Tallinn, tempting you around lunchtime,
before you dart off to the beautiful Alexander Nevski Cathedral,
Town Hall Square and as much of the old city walls as you can
muster the energy to complete.
Days 9-10: We arrive in St Petersburg early in
the morning of the first day, and have two days in total during
which to enjoy this charismatic city. There are a number of interesting
optional tours offered by Princess including the famous Peterhof
Palace and gardens. Other sights covered include the ornate 'Christ
the Saviour´ church, the fortress of Peter and Paul, and
the impressive Alexander Column amongst other things. There'll
also be an opportunity to experience a night out on the town featuring
a special performance of traditional dance and music followed
by dinner in the opulent setting of a royal palace.
Day 11: Arriving in port at Helsinki today, the
first sights of this Finnish delight will be seen from your stateroom
balcony for the early risers. Onshore, a must see is the incredible
Temppeliaukio (Rock Church) built into solid rock and lit by sun
streaming through the Glazed dome roof. Market Square will draw
in shoppers seeking authentic local goods and photo-op's
for photographers. If it's more upmarket you prefer, head
to the Esplanade, home to some of the finest boutique shops and
most expensive houses and apartments, including the Presidents.
Day 12: Stockholm, Sweden is one of the most
beautiful capitals in the world. A collection of 14 inter-connected
islands. Although optional sightseeing is offered by Princess,
we have our own coach and guide coming to meet us at the ship
to show us the highlights. We'll visit the Royal Palace
where if we're lucky we may get to witness the colourful
changing of the guard, and we'll visit the incredible Vasa
Museum housing the 17th century warship of the same name. There
will also be time to wander the Gamla Stan one of the best preserved
medieval cities in the world and streets lined with cafes, galleries,
handicraft and antique stores before we return to the ship late
Day 13: Today's a final day at sea before
we arrive in Copenhagen early morning, so make the most of your
time to have a go at something new and exciting onboard. Challenge
yourself with an activity you might not otherwise have had the
time or inclination to try at home, or if you prefer, just unwind
and catch up on the diary or sleep.
Day 14: Sailing through the night we arrive in
Hans Christian Andersen's Copenhagen. Our sightseeing today
includes the expansive Christiansborg Palace, the third manifestation
of a Palace that have stood here since 1167. Part of our tour
will include a viewing of the elaborate tapestries that adorn
the walls of the Great Hall, and a guided tour to the 'ruins'
of two previous castles beneath the foundations of today's
Day 15: Today is a full day at leisure for you
to explore more of this very enchanting city. There are a number
of fine museums and galleries within close proximity of our hotel.
You may choose to revisit Tivoli Gardens or the Glyptotek, V1
gallery or the Danish Museum of Art & Design. Perhaps shopping's
more your thing, or just a spot of people watching over a nice
drink in Nyhavn.
Day 16: This morning at a respectable time we catch our
flight to London. On arrival we'll be met by our coach and
local guide for some orientation of good ol' London Town
including London Bridge, the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace,
the Mall, Thames and more. By early afternoon you'll have
your bearings and we make our way to our hotel, home for the next
three nights.
Day 17: We leave London for a day's excursion
to the captivating home of the great bard Shakespeare at Stratford
upon Avon. In addition to an informative short walking tour of
notable landmarks with an experienced local guide, there'll
be ample free time for you to wander the lovely streets, along
the banks of the river Avon and take in the vast number of beautifully
maintained Tudor buildings and survivors of the original medieval
city as this was originally planned to be. We even have a self-guided
walking tour available for those keen to explore at their own
Day 18: There are few better places in the world
in which to spend a free day than London. There is so much on
offer from fine galleries and museums, to wonderful parks, an
abundance of great architecture and many significant buildings,
history around every corner and even great shopping for those
so inclined. The day is yours to spend as you please.
Day 19: Departing London today we head for the
southern port of Southampton, where our beautiful cruise ship
awaits us. How fitting after three wonderful days in the UK that
our ship should be aptly named the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess will be familiar
to many. She was launched in 2006, refitted in 2011
and has been a favourite with our guests for many years.
Featuring a number of dining rooms and a host of smaller
café style eateries, numerous public areas in
which to indulge your passion, a library, internet café,
adults only sanctuary, four pools, spa, duty free shopping
boutiques, art gallery and spacious sundeck. For the
more active there's a fully equipped gym, jogging
track and sports court. If you seldom get the opportunity
to go out to the movies at home, the Crown Princess
offers you this indulgence 'under the stars'
on one of the biggest outdoor screens at sea. For the
only domestic chore you need to think about onboard
there's even a laundromat.
Day 20: Our first full day onboard
is once again a sea day. Those who have cruised previously often
prefer these days early on, as they provide an opportunity to
get familiarised with the ship and the important places to be,
such as dining rooms, theatres, lounges, bars and of course the
shopping arcade!
Day 21: We arrive in Stravanger early morning.
Stravanger is a University City and quite compact, making exploration
by foot very straight forward and accomplishable for most. In
'Old Stravanger' you'll discover a wonderful
collection of some 170 wooden houses, said to be the best preserved
in Europe.
Day 22: Today we arrive in Fläm, a pretty,
petite town nestled deep within one of Norways longest Fjords.
Steep mountainsides rise up seemingly within feet of our ship,
waterfalls tumble down sheer faces and beautiful lush valleys
lead off in all directions along our journey. Fläm is known
for being the starting point of one of the world's most
scenic rail journeys, you'll understand why as we glide
into port.
Day 23: You never tire of the majestic scenery
of the Norwegian Fjords and today you'll experience some
of the most picturesque as we cruise Geiranger Fjord. Dramatic
scenery surrounds the ship and we'll pass close by a number
of incredible waterfalls including the 'Seven Sisters'
and 'Bridal Veil'. Also today we'll cruise to
Hellesylt, a tiny ferry port on the Geiranger Fjord, where we
have time to explore at our leisure. Visits at both Geiranger
and Hellesylt are conducted via ships tender as these ports were
never intended for vessels such as ours, but the towns themselves
are not the highlight. You won't want to miss a minute and
the best place to be is definitely on the top decks.
Day 24: Trondheim is our destination today. The
third largest city in Norway with a population of approximately
178,000 residents of which nearly 30,000 are students. The intimate
city centre makes exploration by foot very enjoyable. A walk along
the river front will reward those interested with wonderful sights
of brightly painted warehouses. Trondheim is also regarded as
a 'foodie' city due to a number of highly respected
restaurants and cafes, and for the shoppers here's an opportunity
to shop at Bakklandet where you'll find designer items your
neighbour at home is not likely to possess anything remotely similar.
Day 25: We're at sea today, perfect for
recharging the batteries, resting the legs and catching up for
a chat with one another. You might be asked to join the team for
the trivia quiz, or be happy to sit back in the spa and watch
the world pass by.
Day 26: Arriving early morning we are at one
of the Northern-most points any of us are ever likely to set foot
on, Honningsvag/North Cape, rising 308m above the Barents Sea
it is the last point before the sea ice in the North. Dusk has
no influence on our day, as the sun will not drop below the horizon
during our stay. We have a private coach to take us to the North
Cape to ensure we maximise the time available to enjoy this unique
and rather uncanny experience.
Day 27: Today we arrive in Tromso, once regarded
as "The Paris of the North". Places of particular
interest include the Arctic Cathedral, and the Polar Museum which
will fascinate those with an interest in Polar expeditions. A
ride up the cable car to the top of Storsteinen offers spectacular
panoramic views. Beer lovers, why not drop in at 'Macks'
the world's northern most brewery for a guided tour. We
have a full day in port so get out there and enjoy it to your
hearts content.
Day 28: Gravdal is one of the largest villages
among the Islands which form the Lofoten archipelago. The scenery
approaching Gravdal is once again breathtaking. There are a number
of excursions offered whilst we are in port but one of the most
unique has to be the Ice bar and gallery in Svolvaer, where you
sip from a glass made of ice while browsing the art works on display,
creatively illuminated and accompanied by music, images and stories
of the Lofoten fishermen.
Day 29: "We are sailing"....just
as Rod sang, only our waters aren't stormy and we're
a long way from going home yet. Kick back, relax and enjoy all
the fine ships amenities at your disposal.
Day 30: Arriving into Alesund you'll be
left with an indelible memory as we glide gracefully in the presence
of majestic Norwegian Fjords. Framed by imposing peaks of the
Sunnmore Alps the towns Art Nouveau architecture will enchant
you, featuring turrets, spires and decorative fairytale ornamentation.
Explore by foot or take the 'town train' for a trip
to the top of Mt Aksla and a stunning view of the archipelago
Day 31: Bergen depicts one of those iconic Norwegian
scenes often portrayed in postcards typifying the people, scenery
and simple pleasures of a 'big city' in a small footprint.
The city oozes charm and you'll be delighted with a stroll
through the Henseatic settlement of Bryggen, where it's
been said the "the history is in the walls". Artisans
abound and narrow winding streets draw you in to explore, shop,
take photos or simply sit amongst the locals and enjoy a local
delicacy with your favourite drink.
Day 32: Chances are you'll spend today
reviewing your photos from the past few days, admiring the beauty
and revelling in the splendour of Norway, as we leave her Isles
and Fjords for the final time and make our way back across the
North Sea and along the English Channel to our final port o'
one night Singapore
Day 33: We arrive in Southampton early this morning,
after which we'll be met by our coach and taken directly
to Heathrow airport for our flight homeward via Singapore.
Days 34-36: We arrive in Singapore and spend
a full day with opportunities to shop, or take in some of the
wonderful sightseeing opportunities such as Gardens by the Bay
or the Botanical Gardens, perhaps a day trip to Sentosa Island,
or maybe simply relaxing around the pool is more your thing. Our
flight to New Zealand departs early evening and we arrive at a
respectable hour in the morning, local time, heads filled with
unforgettable memories of an incredible journey.

What is Stress?
Understanding stress and anger management is an important skill to master. What is the body, the brain responding to when stress occurs? Is it real? Is it imagined? You can learn to understand and respond in a positive way to stress that occurs in your daily life.
Here is an important word: HOMEOSTASIS, defined as the body – or any organism – working to constantly achieve a balance within itself – adapting to changes which occur – temperature and chemical changes within the body.
So STRESS can be defined as the mind and body responding to outside, internal or even imagined stimulation and eventually losing it's balance – or falling out of healthy homeostasis. This is likened to global warming, which we can all see our earth responding to in often frightening ways.
To keep a body alive, there are automatic mechanisms to help maintain these internal responses at a desirable level. But SELF-REGULATION is a necessary tool in order to maintain these desirable levels.
In 1926, Han Selye, M.D., began his theory which explains how stress impacts people's lives. This 'stress cycle' has three major components, known as the General Adaptation Syndrome, or the body's short-term and long-term reaction to stress
- STAGE 1 Alarm Reaction
Triggered by your central nervous system. Commonly known as the "fight or flight".
- STAGE 2 Resistance
When there is no or little relief after stage 1, but you still sense danger. You start feeling a reduction in your body's energy levels which leads to defined changes in your physical and mental behavioral patterns.
- STAGE 3 Exhaustion
Stress continues beyond the second stage and you are now completely tired and exhausted. You may not feel like going to work or live your life..
Stress Management of New Jersey can and will HELP YOU!

Artisanal hash from B.C. for many consumers is some of the best hash on the planet. Many Canadian cannabis consumers and visiting tourists partake in this incredible hash. Some just love to smoke it, while others are a bit more curious. People in Quebec love hash more than any other province!
Want to know how artisanal hash is made?
What makes artisanal hash so desired and sought after across Canada?
There's an easy answer for this. It's because quite simply some of the best pot on the planet comes from BC. Craft cannabis is where it all starts and you can find many small mom and pop as well as other private growers that are masters at cultivating premium Canadian mariuana. When you start with strong potent genetics, rich in trichomes and packed full of essential cannabinoids, you get premium end results.
Hashing It Out
Artisanal hash is a unique part of the cannabis culture and community. Many people enjoy this fine product for a number of reasons. Quite possibly the most common of those reasons being the effectiveness that artisanal hash offers consumers on a medicinal/recreation scale when it comes to just feeling good. Hash has a long history of spiritual, medicinal, and recreation that's blended in with numerous cultures worldwide. When you start with craft Canadian cannabis the hash you end up with is known as artisanal.
A great artisanal hash is all about having an incredible trichome count to start off with. By collecting these delicious trichomes, hash makers have what it takes to start to produce their hash. A process of pressure or heat is then used to finish the process making the hash tight or compressed. Of course, you'll find each artisanal hash producer has their own secrets that make their hash desirable.
An Old-School Trend Coming Back Again
Hash was a part of the early 70's and 80's across much of Europe. In some cultures, hashish was considered acceptable whereas smoking a joint wasn't. In Morocco, hash has deep spiritual connections where many individuals have wondered into the caves and hillsides of Morocco on a spiritual journey of enlightenment.
The strength of artisanal BC hash is comparable to that of shatter or wax and has been for some time now. With many people unsure of this new trend emerging referred to as dabbing, hash is a blast from the past that these people feel safe with. Because they remember the feeling of being happy, hungry, horny, sleepy, and free! They remember their friends smoking hash and many remember the good times themselves.
Hash Has Pizazz
Artisanal BC hash is bringing it all back. For those who chose hash for religious or cultural reasons, to avoid falling into the new world of concentrates, or because they enjoy doing so, they have the option they need in Canada. Chocolate OG Hash, Moroccan Hash and more are waiting for you to experience in Canada.
When it comes to some of the best hash on the planet though, and what you'll find in hash clubs across Canada, its hands down artisanal hash from British Columbia.
