That's why their products are pharmaceutically formulated using only the finest quality homeopathic ingredients that deliver consistent effectiveness. The History of HomeopathyHomeopathy is a 200 year old system of medicine that was developed by German physician Samuel Hahnemann in 1790 and has been practiced in the United States since the early 19th century. Until the 1940's there were a number of homeopathic medical schools in the United States and most if not all medical and pharmacy schools included the study of Homeopathy in their curriculum. Although the United States showed a declining interest in homeopathy in the 20th century, other nations were experiencing a steady growth of homeopathic teachings and interest. Today, nearly all French pharmacies sell homeopathic remedies and medicines; and homeopathy has a particularly strong following in Russia, India, Switzerland, Mexico, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, England, and South America. Three PrinciplesHomeopathy is based on three important principles, which are: Similitude -There should be a connection between illness and remedy. Infinitesimality -Homeopathy uses vegetable, mineral and chemically processed mixtures of natural substances, in repeatedly diluted strength to administer minute doses. Totality -Since Homeopathy considers a person as a whole, every treatment is based on the assumption that every illness is the apparent manifestation of a much deeper-rooted disorder. Other Features Other noticeable points that distinguish Homeopathy from conventional medicine are: 100% Natural 100% Safe Homeopathy is a form of natural therapy that treats illnesses with minute, and therefore innocuous doses of certain substances, selected according to the patient's own individuality, reactions and heredity, as well as family and social environmentsHomeolab Questions & AnswersWhat is homeopathy?Homeopathy is a natural pharmaceutical treatment that utilizes micro doses of substances from the plant, mineral, or animal kingdom to arouse a person's natural healing response and relieve symptoms.How do homeopathic medicines work?Homeopathic medicines act by stimulating the body's own defense mechanism to correct the process that has lead to the condition. According to their current understanding, the medicines act as an electromagnetic signal, which is picked up by nerves and relayed to higher centers of the brain, which in turn stimulates their bodies healing powers to take specific corrective measures. The medicines tell the body what to do - the actual work is done by the body itself.Can you explain how different strengths work?Homeopathy makes substances into healing remedies by dilution and succussion (shaking vigorously). Dilution negates any problems with substances that may be harmful in their raw state. Succussion enhances the healing properties of the substances. The strength of the remedy is the number of times a remedy has been diluted and succussed. A 6 means it has been diluted and succussed 6 times; a 30 means 30 times. The higher the number, the stronger the remedy.Can you explain how different potencies work?The potency is shown after the remedy name as a roman numeral. The decimal "X" designation is the lowest potency. These potencies stay in the body a short period of time and can be used safely for repeat dosing. They are helpful for first aid treatment, trauma, recovery from injury and for preventative dosing. The centesimal "C" designation is a medium potency and is used for first aid, seasonal ailments and chronic health concerns. 30C is a very common potency in the United States. The millesimal "M" designation is the highest potency, and may stay working in the body for months. This potency is normally only given to individuals through a prescription from a practitioner.Are homeopathic medicines safe?The small doses used in homeopathic medicines make them extremely safe for everyone in your family. They are 100% natural, do not contain any chemicals and are free of alcohol, dyes and sugars. They do not cause harmful side effects and there is no risk of overdose or potential negative interaction with other medicines.Why am I able to use Kids Relief on my children under 2 when so many other medicines are restricted?Because homeopathic medicines are 100% natural, they are safe for everyone in your family, even your children. Other over the counter medicines can cause overdose if improperly administered. With homeopathic medicines there is no risk of overdose or negative drug interaction with other medications.Why are the earache and teething products taken orally? Most other products on store shelves treat topically.Medicines that are taken orally actually work faster and are more effective at treating the problem than a medicine that treats topically.About HomeolabHomeolab USA is the American subsidiary of Homeocan, a leading manufacturer and distributor of homeopathic products in Canada.

Steller's Jay
Steilacoom, Washington
Not all Jays look the same. The Steller's Jays that visit my yard each sport a different crest or eye brow mark. This bird is easy to spot among the group. Having a marker like this It makes keeping track of an individual bird much easier. I have been watching this bird for three years now. His/her name is "Groucho", can you guess why?

Best Cheap Asakusa, Tokyo Hotels
Hotels in Asakusa
In the streets around the Sensōji temple you can still find a handful of traditional Japanese hostels, or ryokan. These are mostly affordable but somewhat basic, with shared facilities and lack of modern amenities. There are also some more luxury hotels in Asakusa, mostly a few blocks from the old town's core. The Gate Hotel Asakusa Kaminarimon lies right on Nakamise, the covered street that leads to the Sensōji temple. It gets excellent reviews for its location, service, and rooftop terrace. You'll find discount hotel rates in Asakusa offered at the APA Hotel Asakusa-Kuramae. This modern budget hotel has cleverly designed rooms that are praised by many in space-conscious Tokyo.
Things to see in Asakusa
Matters spiritual are the focus of the attractions here, starting with the Sensōji temple. The massive entrance to this Buddhist temple, with its giant lantern and statues of the gods of wind and thunder, is particularly awe-inspiring. Inside is an elegant, five-story pagoda and a garden for contemplation. There are several other shrines in Asakusa, the most notable being the Chingodo Shrine with its statue to Tanuki, a Shinto raccoon god. A sense of inner calm can be found away from the area's religious buildings, at Sumida Park. This strip of green alongside the Sumida River is lit up with delicate cherry blossoms each spring, one the most anticipated events in Tokyo's calendar. Lastly, no visit is complete without a stroll down the Nakamise covered shopping street. Partly this is because it's the best way to reach the Sensōji temple. But it is also because of its numerous stalls overflowing with Japanese souvenirs and traditional craft pieces
Good for couples
Asakusa, with its temples and shrines, parks and cherry blossom, makes for a perfection backdrop to a romantic Tokyo vacation. And unlike the in-demand hotels to be found in central Tokyo, accommodation in Asakusa is relatively affordable. That means more opportunity for special treats and romantic adventures. Couples can enjoy walks in the park along the River, while there are several of fantastic tempura and sushi restaurants to be discovered here. In the evenings, the echoes of Asakusa's entertaining past are remembered in the traditional rakugo performances, often held in theaters here.
How to get to Asakusa
Connections to Narita International Airport are excellent, with travel to Asakusa Station taking only an hour on the Narita Skyaccess line. This high-speed train can be caught from the airport at Terminal 2. A cab will be needed for the last leg of the journey to your hotel from Asakusa Station. The adjoining Asakusa Metro station lies at one end of Line G. It will get you into the central Tokyo Station in just 20 minutes. For the seeing the local sights, though, it's simple enough to travel around Asakusa on foot.

Nova Southeastern downs West Florida
Boyd collects two hits, drives in two runs to lead Sharks to win
TAMPA, Fla. -- Nova Southeastern (34-13) will stay in the winner's bracket in the NCAA South Region tournament, taking a 5-1 victory against defending national champions West Florida (34-18) Thursday. It is the first win in program history in a NCAA postseason first round game.
The Sharks won the game on a sixth-inning rally, scoring four of their five runs. In the meantime, Zachary Westcott turned in a solid performance in his postseason debut. Westcott earned the win by throwing seven shutout innings before allowing one run in the eighth. He gave up six hits and three walks. Westcott struck out two batters and threw 112 pitches before being relieved by Mike Gonzalez, who closed the game.
Blake Boyd went 2-for-3 in the contest with two RBI and a run scored. Javi Sujo recorded two hits with a run scored and reached base in three out of five plate appearances. Brett Clementswas effective behind the dish, throwing out two runners at second and later recording a sacrifice fly.
It was a pitching duel from the start, as the game was scoreless through the first five innings. During that span, the Sharks were held to one hit. Areo Regoli started the sixth-inning rally with a single to right centerfield. Sujo followed up with a single of his own, before Daniel Petitbon moved both runners over on a sacrifice bunt.
Chris Morales drove home the first run of the game on a single to left field. The Sharks never trailed after taking the lead. Clements recorded his sacrifice, plating Sujo, and was followed up by a double to left field from Ray Navarro. Boyd capped off the side with two RBI on a single up the middle.
West Florida posted a run in the eighth inning, but the Sharks answered back with their last run in the ninth inning. Boyd recorded a leadoff single through the right side and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Carlos Asuaje drove him home on a single through the right side.
West Florida did not go out without a fight, loading the bases and placing the tying runner on first base with one out in the ninth. Gonzalez closed the game out by drawing a double play, sealing the Sharks' postseason win.

Georgia Region Championships
13-14 March 2016
Gold and Grass Farm, Ball Ground, GA
Being so early in the year, we were hoping for some cool weather. It wasn't to be. The humidity and heat felt more like May, and the threat of severe rain on Sunday was hanging over our heads constantly. We qualified 48 dogs for the Regional this year. That's an outstanding number indicating the diversity of the Region, and we knew it would be a hard slog to get to the end- both for the dog and the handler.
We had a normal double trial on Friday, to enable the dogs to get adjusted to the fields- a pretrial, if you will. Of the four fields available, A and C were used because B was a swamp and D would be used in the Final Hour and was kept clean- no practicing, at all, on the field. Saturday was used to run two fields, 12 braces each, top half moving on. Sunday morning, we ran two fields, 6 braces each, with the top 3 dogs off each field making the cut. Then, we ran 3 braces on A Field and sorted everyone by score, the top 2 going on to the Final Hour on D field. Unusually, after the 3 braces on A Field, two dogs had tied exactly for second and third. Randy Schultz/Ruby and Terry Taylor/Belle went back out, yet again for 15 minutes and two birds put out. This was important, because the winner of the runoff would be the second dog in the Final Hour. Randy and Ruby edged Terry and Belle 1/1/B to 1/1. We broke for an hour to let the dogs rest (read: let the handlers get some oxygen.). Then Randy Schultz/Ruby (Brit/F) and Jared Roberts/Dice (GSP/F) (who finished first in the Final 6) took to D Field. The sun came out with a vengeance as they took off the line on the double sized field and double number of birds. An hour later, Randy Schultz and Ruby were declared the Georgia Champions for 2016!
First- Randy Schultz/Ruby, Second- Jared Roberts/Dice, Third- Terry Taylor (Linda Lowe)/Belle, Fourth- Brennan Greene/Toothpick.
Notably, we believe Brennan Greene at 12 years old, may be the youngest Final Four finisher in NSTRA. Congratulations, Brennan! Also, Ruby (Brit/F) is the first Brittany to ever win the Georgia Championships.
Saturday night, we held our yearly banquet and elected officers and passed out awards. Gene Pritchett will continue as President, Jeffery Keck, VP, Brenda Keck, Treasurer, and Dana Walker, Secretary. (We think Steve and Dana Walker are fine additions to our Region and we are lucky to have them.)
We had a raffle to raise money for the Shriner's Children's Fund with the winner to receive a complete training package from Terry Taylor worth well over $2000. The winner was Steve Crumble. (Need not be present to win.) Another draw of the raffle ticket was for a Three Day inclusive Pheasant hunt at Spring Creek Lodge in South Dakota, worth over $2000, as well. Judge Ron Huel won the hunt!
Our Region awards went to:
-Rookie of the Year- Brennan Greene for his fine showing throughout the year.
-High Point Dog- Taz and Brandon Pritchett-for his consistently fine performances.
-Judge of the Year- Bodie Ray- for his keen eye and sharp wit.
-High Point Female- Linda Lowe and Belle- who set the bar high for the female dogs in the Region.
-The Scott Clark Award was awarded to Keith Koon for his dedication to the Region and helpfulness at every trial.
-Most Improved Dog was awarded to Ken Buck and Chance and Mark Clore/ Rigby (these are two to watch in the future!).
We would like to thank, most heartily, our Judges Ron Huels, Ron Becker and Rick Bertinelli from the Illinois Region. Our Bird Planter Harold Hufstetler, Field Marshals Stan Perdue and Bodie Ray, and Trial Chairman- Gene Pritchett.
Lastly, we like to thank Gary Garrett and R.B. Garrett for their use of the family farm. What an incredible venue and we were competing with weddings, etc. for the date! Thank you again, Gary and R.B.
See you in the blind!

Who is Telling the Story? Another Question of Diversity in Publishing
I started off talking about the lack of diversity at one specific event that I attended in Toronto and moved on to discussing the publishing industry. This Wednesday I want to move on to something that was briefly mentioned last week both in my post and by various people who commented. I had said:
I also think that the fact that the biggest titles are often written by non-POC / international authors about POC / international characters is related to the lack of diversity / equity in the publishing industry. We seem to be (sadly) more willing to push people like us writing about those outside the dominant group than this 'other' writing about their own experiences. I don't know why that is but I wonder if it somehow seems more familiar to us?
Today I want to talk less about the publishing industry and how the lack of diversity in offerings is related to that and instead I want to talk about something that we see everywhere – writing about the "other". And what I want to focus on specifically for today is the white, American / European authors writing about Africa. I'm really just going to ramble on for way too long because I have a lot of conflicting thoughts on the subject. I am going to close not only asking for your opinion but also with a poll.
This situation was brought to my attention strongly at Book Expo America when, during the BEA Editor's Buzz panel, one of the books pitched (and one of the books with the a very large presence at the conference as a whole) was Running the Rift by Naomi Benaron, published by Algonquin. Basically, if I remember correctly, Benaron worked with Rwandan refugees in the US, was fascinated so went to Rwanda, thought more people need to know about what happened there, so she wrote a book. While listening to the pitch I actually wrote up a note on my iPhone titled "How to Write about Africa for White People". Clearly the list is a generalization and not specifically directed at this one book / pitch which I've not read. I think the list is a general representation of what we see over and over again and the truly successful books have some combination of these things. Here is my (mostly) unedited list which was written half jokingly and half seriously (and please remember this is not specifically about this one book, but rather about the trend of writing about Africa):
- Include lots of stereotypes.
- People might have potential but given where they are (i.e. Africa as opposed to the 'developed' world), they will never become anything.
- Main character must always be naively innocent of all evil occurring around him/her (else we can't sympathize with them).
- There needs to be a white / American / European person to show them (Africans) the way to safety / success.
- The main character will always child-like until the end (related to point 3).
- Main character or close relative must face terrible violence.
- Exoticize everything as much as possible, especially the land.
My original thought is 'how selfish'. If you truly want more people to know about the place and situation, might an option be to help aspiring Rwandan authors become published in North America rather than appropriating their stories? This leads, of course, to the thought that when it comes to literature there are no real rules, so how can I be upset? Anyone can write about anything and one has to hope that they've done the research to ensure that everything matches reality where it should. When it comes to writing about other cultures though we have to really wonder – does the author really know what it is like to be a part of the culture, to get the events correct, to get the diction correct, etc. And is the book truly shining a light on this other culture or are they maligning it?
This topic first came up here on Amy Reads back in August 2010 in my review of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun. In that book Richard is an Englishman who is dating a Nigerian woman and lives through the Biafran war but in the end decides that it isn't his story to tell. This was something that I brought up in my review to ask people's thoughts on and got a lot of fantastic discussion points. The main point was that it is easy for the privileged to write about other groups and cultures but their voice will almost always drown out those who are actually living the culture and trying to write their own stories.
Thinking of this also reminds me of Chinua Achebe's criticism of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, some of which was included in his book The Education of a British-Protected Child. In an easy in that book he talks about how so many said that Conrad was "on the side of the Africans" when really the story is full of racism and denies true humanity to the Africans. With this specific example we are also talking about historical stereotypes, but I still think it is an important point. If we are not a part of the culture being discussed, how can we know if it is a good and accurate representation or not? And can we trust some author who may or may not have visited the country in question once or twice to actually get it right?
What I think the main point is, besides the privileging of ourselves over those whose stories we are taking and who don't have the same opportunities to get their stories out, is one of truth and research. How do I, as a Canadian, know if the culture / voice / events / etc of this book set in another country is true? Unless you specifically make an effort to read local authors as well as those from outside, you will never truly know (and hence my Nigerian lit project). Some may ask whether this really matters, and personally I think that it does. I think that by distorting our views of other parts of the world we are doing ourselves a disservice. It is not only profiting from others who aren't given opportunities to publish their own works it is also distorting the truth behind their lives.
At the same time, I think it is important for authors to include a diverse mix of characters in their books. I like when there is a mix of sexual orientations and racial backgrounds presented by the characters in a book because it makes it feel more true to real life. I don't think authors should write all of the characters in their book white and straight. I wonder if maybe the key is the level of research and the reasons WHY the diversity was included. Are you trying to be representative of true life by including diverse characters or are you trying to be sensational and sell more books. What is your end justification for the location / characters – is it for some noble reason of 'helping' or 'educating' others maybe you want to rethink why you are the perfect person for that and if those people you are trying to help can better help themselves in some way?
A quick note: While discussing my attempts at pulling together this post Cass mentioned that it is rather ironic that I, as a white person, would write this. She is quite right and perhaps I'm not really the best person to do so. If we use the test I mention I would say that my reason for discussing it is simply to get people thinking about what they read and who wrote it as well as get people talking, so hopefully that makes it OK 🙂
This is a topic for which there doesn't seem to be one easy answer and I've really just been thinking out loud here. I want to know, what do YOU think?
June 22, 2011 8:34 am
What an excellent post, Amy. Kind of reminds me of the recent "Gay Girl in Damascus" blog fiasco, whose (white, straight, male) author took it upon himself to write about the experiences of lesbian women in the Middle East "in a way Westerners could relate to". Obviously fiction is different in the sense that no deceit is involved, but in many cases the underlying assumption is the same – "we" are so different from "them" that we need one of "us" to translate "their" experiences to us. Apparently our common humanity is never ever enough to bridge that gap – without an "interpreter", "they" will forever remain inaccessibly alien. It's an assumption that needs to be continuously challenged.
June 22, 2011 8:56 am
Your "how to" applies to more than just books about Africa! It certainly is a popular formula. But it feels a bit like a double edged sword – with so many American and European aid organizations pushing the messages of "we must help them", the (non-fiction) books are another way to ground the message. I guess the question really is what do the people being exploited (and I use that term loosely – is it exploitation if the message put forward is appreciated by the people?) for the sake of book sales think about it?
There is also the question of is it more important to get the message out, or get the message out via the right vehicle or author? Is the book more likely to be read because it conforms to the natural way Americans/Europeans understand the world? Or is there really a difference? Totally a topic that begs way more questions than answers.
June 22, 2011 11:28 am
Yes. So much of this.
In this vein, are you going to write about your experience at the event on Sunday? 😉
June 22, 2011 11:38 am
I completely agree.
But had this devil's advocate sort of thought an hour after reading this post. Your outline for "How to Write about Africa for White People" creates a book that is accessible to me in a way that a book about Nigeria by a Nigerian would not be. I can absolutely relate to that American / European author so it would be an easy read. Is it better that I read that book and, maybe, pick up another book with more authenticity due to a new interest in the subject, than to not read about Africa at all?
June 22, 2011 1:33 pm
I think this aspect is very pertinent and important: How do I, as a Canadian, know if the culture / voice / events / etc of this book set in another country is true? If we are relying on authors to tell us these things, they need to be right and not culturally biased, which I sometimes think happens a lot. I think we need to have more works in translation and more works about different countries, written by residents of that country. It is sort of sad to see that list that you made and know that it's basically all true. There should be more responsibility to get it right in the books that authors are writing, not just justifying their own ends when it comes to representing foreign lands and people. This is an intensely interesting topic, Amy, and I am glad you addressed it here today. Thanks for helping to open my eyes.
June 22, 2011 2:36 pm
Wonderful post, Amy! It is quite insightful and thought-provoking! I think that this is quite a complex issue – I personally believe that writers can people their books with the kind of characters they want and not necessarily be politically correct. We, as readers, can of course, choose not to read a particular writer, if we find his / her depictions of people stereotypical. But I also feel (as you have said) that it is in the writer's interest to do research and try to make the characters in a book realistic and authentic. Otherwise, I feel that a writer's works won't survive the test of time. I also have another point to add to what you have said. I find that today, because of the global market, many writers are opting to write in English or write in their mother tongue and get their book translated into English, so that it can reach an international audience. In many cases, these books are not published in the language in which they are written – only the translation is published. I have found that some of these books have all the isssues that you have written about – because either the writer or the publisher feels that these 'features' are required in the book to satisfy the tastes of an international audience. These books are typically rarely read by people who belong to the country that the writer is from. For example, once when I once talked to my Chinese friends and tried to find out what kind of books they read, I discovered that they rarely read books written by 'Chinese' writers which are available internationally (for example Lisa See) but they read books by writers like Lu Xun, Ba Jin and Jin Yong which were not easily available in English. (Jin Yong's novels are so popular that every Chinese person seems to have read it. Unfortunately only a few titles are available in English and they are published by Oxford University Press and they are not easily available.) My Chinese friends also seemed to read classics like 'Three Kingdoms', 'Journey to the West' (adventures of the Monkey King), 'Dream of Red Mansions' and 'Outlaws of the Marsh'. The English translations of these books are available in China, but they are difficult to get outside or are very expensive. These books seemed to authentically mirror the Chinese experience of different times or to reflect Chinese culture accurately, but unfortunately are not accessible to international audiences. I feel that there is a huge body of wonderful literature from different countries waiting to be translated. The question is are the translators and publishers listening?
June 23, 2011 3:41 am
This is a great post and to begin with I would refer you to an article written by Binyavanga Wainaina a Kenyan titled How to Write About Africa. This rhetorical writing spells out how stereotype most of these books about Africa are. It is freely available on the internet.
The West have come to believe their own 'truth' about Africa. To them Africa is a land of the suffering and the dying. Like biblical Bethlehem they ask 'what good can come out of Africa'. Thus anyone who comes to Africa comes with a prejudiced mind. Yes, Africa has its own problems and it is this problems they only see, then scale it up and then 'bingo' they have verified their hypothesis. Should I say Americans are serial killers because I see them on TV shooting guns and killing people, that even the good guys in movies have to kill about 10 people to get the one bad guy? Yet, if I should conclude and say that Americans kill too much, an American would tell me that isn't the picture. Yet that same person is quick to accept the commercialised views about Africa.
Recently, a so-called journalist came to Ghana to write about an underground scam. In his reportage, which was published by CNN on its site, the guy said in Ghana almost 99% of the people sell ice water (i.e. water in sachets). Can you believe that? A country of 24million, only 1% is in any proper job. He went on further to state that the Presidential Palace (which we call Jubilee House) has columns covered in gold but the road in front of it is untarred and dusty. And all these things he reported on are false. In fact it enraged the Ghanaian blogging community that almost everybody wrote something about it. But it fascinated the people at CNN to the extent that even though they were not the initial source of the story they offered their platform for it to reach several people. Is this not the kind of stories the West wants to hear?
They would be fed by what they want. in fact some still even believe we live on trees… they can continue to believe whatever they want. The fact is there is duality to every issue. Just as there are homeless individuals in America there would be homeless individuals in Ghana too. You can mention proportion but it is still homelessness.
The funny thing is some Africans have bought into this issue and also toe that path. Why? Because that's what sells and that's what publishers want to publish. If you write about anything else it won't be published and it won't sell. Conrad's book is the text book about Africa and so too would Naipaul's latest offering going to be.
June 23, 2011 7:00 am
Insightful post, Amy, and I very much enjoyed reading it.
I hope no one takes offence at what I'm about to say – Saying it's ironic for you as a white person to write about diverstity in publishing is like saying only black people can write about racism. It is not. We should all feel free to criticise what we find wanting in the systems around us.
As a black person – I am no more 'qualified' to write about diversity than you are. As long as one is aware of the issues and able to air them in a way that encourages debate, that is all that is required. And judging by your post and the comments here, you have done just that.
June 23, 2011 7:21 am
On the issue of diversity in publishing, you raise some important points. It's true that the world of publishing is dominated by the western societal point of view for reasons already discussed by Kinna – to a large extent. One of the reasons I started "Adura Ojo Presents" was to give African authors and aspiring authors a voice – on the web which is accessible to many people across the globe. African authors still struggle to get their voices heard and it is true that the more these stories are told by indigenous people themselves, the more empowered the communities are. The days of "colonial reporting" should be well and truly over.
That said, I do make an exception for non-locals who actually live among the people – people like Susanne Wenger who lived and died in Nigeria. Such people live what they write – write what they live – and have also done their research.
June 29, 2011 3:07 pm
I guess the problem with having diversity in books is that most people stick to their own. A lot of straight white people only really know other straight white people and therefore struggle to write characters outside that. You could say the author should try harder to meet interesting people, but you could also say that's the way a lot of the world is.
I personally wince a bit when a character's skin colour is described only when they're black, i.e. author and reader have assumed that everyone else in the book is white and that that doesn't need saying. On the other hand, maybe in some books where no-one's skin colour is described we could just as easily imagine them all sorts of multi-ethnic combinations!
February 4, 2012 3:46 pm
I really wanted to vote for 2 items…of course you need to read many sources to get a better idea of the true picture….how can any one person claim to present the "truth" of an entire culture no matter whether they are "insiders" or "outsiders". Each has an important perspective to bring to a given situation/event/time period etc. But the fact is, minority voices are horribly unrepresented in the publishing world and every effort must be made to ensure this changes. This is important in children's literature as well.

It might not have the marketshare of Android or the cult following of iOS, but the Windows Phone OS is slowly gaining traction – by quickly adding new apps.
In fact, according to Microsoft, their Windows Phone Store now features more than 300,000 apps and games as of late last week. Two months ago, that number stood at 255,000 apps. A month later, 270,000. The interesting aspect of this milestone, as Softpedia also notes, is not so much the number of apps, but the rate in which they were added:
This milestone is much more important given the fact that it was achieved during summer, when usually developers should be away on holiday. It's also important to note that Windows Phone Store gained more than 30,000 apps in just three weeks, which means that by the end of the year, there's a high chance it will reach 4-500,000 apps.
For mobile app developers, there may be no time like the present to establish a presence in Windows Phone Store. Though a distant third in terms of OS marketshare (at 3.4% compared to Android's 52.1% and iOS' 41.3%), it's obvious that the ecosystem still has room to grow.
But while the quantity of apps makes headlines, it's the quality of apps that will ultimately determine the operating system's success and longevity. If the data is accurate, it appears as though this point has not been lost on Windows Phone developers.
Back in July of 2013 – shortly after Applause began crawling the Windows Phone Store – we conducted a brief study on the highest rated apps within each app store. What we found was that, among the top three, Windows Phone apps generally received much higher ratings compared to its iOS and Android counterparts. Here's an abridged version of the results at the time:

Short 3D animation with funny/cute phones - "Pixar lamp style"
- Status Closed
- Budget $250 - $750 USD
- Total Bids 40
Project Description
Dear Freelancers,
I am looking for a highly skilled person/team that can create a professionally looking 3D animation with some cute, but naughty smartphones as the main characters. The animation is going to promote my website (and logo) on Youtube.
Type of animation:
30 seconds long, HD (720p), just a white background with charismatic 3D characters - "Pixar lamp" style. It must be funny and original, people should not have any problems sharing it on social medias. Important – the animation needs to be very professional and smooth looking with natural movements. "Home-made, amateur animations" will not be accepted.
1 genderless person and 10 cute / funny (smart)phones with legs and arms, each holding a sign with a single word on it. All phones will probably have the same shape /design, but we can decide this later.
Already done by me. It will be sent to the final candidates for consultation / comments so that they can decide on a final bid. Before we start the rendering I will need 12-15 sketches of the story (and visual propositions of the characters) so that there won't be any changes later.
The story is about a person that gets surrounded by 10 annoying phones, each one representing the biggest mobile producers. They are all trying to get his attention waving signs and pushing themselves around, when suddenly the character from my logo appears and all but three phones disappear. Then four simple banners are rolled out in the background and finally the logo is faded in.
Sound / voiceover:
No music, but you will have to add some sound fx (eg. the sound that 10 noisy phones make). The voiceover will be made by me and sent later. Please note – there will NOT be any lip syncing or such
Important - before you bid:
- I will need full rights to the final version and its characters, however you can of course use it in your portfolio or such
- Sorry, but all "I can do this, contact me. Bye" answers will be ignored
- I need to see some previous, RELEVANT work, otherwise I cannot consider you as a candidate. The more similar to what I need, the better. Some sort of sketch how the phones could look like would be great.
Final words:
I am aware that professional animations take a lot of work and time to create, but I am a one person company so please do not bid too high as the money will go from my personal savings... Otherwise I will have to cancel this animation and be forced to do something more simple :/
I am demanding, but really fun to work with. I want to create an animation that both you and I will be very proud of and that will make a great addition in your portfolio :)
Yes, there will be more work available when the animation is done! :)
Eg. creating images using the animation characters or maybe follow up animations
For inspiration, the classical Pixar animation (this type of rendering/ natural movements would be ideal)

Now that Christmas Day is here and all of your shopping and holiday partying is done, you have nothing left do but sit back and wait for the real gift of today – NBA games.
As you're watching the clock tick down til tipoff, we have some holiday cheer to send your way, compliments of the NBA.
Here are some of our favorite videos of NBA squads singing Christmas carols throughout the years:
1. Memphis Grizzles
Synopsis: Zach Randolph, OJ Mayo, Mike Conley, Sam Young, Rudy Gay, Darrell Arthur and Hasheem Thabeet sing a Memphis Grizzlies version of the "12 Days of Christmas."
As Christmas song renditions go, this is pretty horrible. "The 12 days of Christmas" is already a long song and making it into a long advertisement makes it quite bad.
Highlight: Hasheem Thabeet hating the whole production as he "sings" with his arms crossed.
Favorite Line: "And a five game holiday pack." – Zach Randolph. Just seeing Zach smile makes this great.Subscribe to UPROXX
2. Golden State Warriors
Synopsis: Wearing holiday sweaters and other Christmas-related outfits, Monta Ellis, Stephen Curry, Rodney Carney, Lou Amundson, Reggie Williams, and Ekpe Udoh sing a not-in-rhythm version of "Jingle Bells."
This Warrior team was pretty young and their youthful exuberance makes up for their horrible singing voices.
Highlight: Monta Ellis getting into the holiday spirit.
Favorite Line: "I really gotta sing?" – Reggie Williams
3.Los Angeles Lakers
Synopsis: Two of the Lakers cheerleaders get in on the act as they join Pau Gasol, Theo Ratliff, Matt Barnes, Metta World Peace, Devin Ebanks and Derek Fisher in singing "Jingle Bells."
Kobe either was too cool to sing or was so bad that the Lakers cut it out but he does wish fans happy holidays. The outtakes at the end of the clip are great.
Highlight: Metta World Peace's haircut.
4. Chicago Bulls
Synopsis: Jokaim Noah, Ronnie Brewer, Taj Gibson, Carlos Boozer, Derrick Rose, Kyle Korver, Keith Bogans, Luol Deng, James Johnson, Kurt Thomas, and Scottie Pippin put on Bulls Santa hats and sing the Chicago Bulls' version of the "12 days of Christmas."
The great thing about this version of "12 Days" is that Benny the Bull knows that the song drags on forever so he steps in and with a little bit of Christmas magic skips the song to the end. But the main reason this video is great is because Kurt Thomas is in it.
Highlight: Joakim Noah smile after singing is priceless.
Favorite Line: "5 golden rings" – Derrick Rose, perhaps foreshadowing the amount of championship rings he hopes to win.
5. New Orleans Hornets
The Hornets really get into the holiday spirit as they have gotten their players to sing on multiple occasions.
The best of the haul is their rendition of "Jingle Bells."
Synopsis: This song has three things that make it amazing:
1. Ryan Bowen sings the whole song by himself.
2. Morris Peterson beat boxes.
3. Tyson Chandler just dances the whole time.
Highlight: My piece of advice: Watch this video. Then watch it again, but this time just focus on Chandler. You can thank me in the comments.
6. Houston Rockets
In recent years the Rockets have been one of the better teams to root for as they have always assembled a group of hard working players. Unfortunately this hard work ethic does not carry over to their singing.
Synopsis: The '07-'08 Rockets – Chuck Hayes, Dikembe Mutombo, Shane Battier, Rafer Alston, Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, Aaron Brooks, Carl Landy, Mike James, Luis Scola, Bonzi Wells, and everyone's favorite Rocket Steve Franics sing a joyous version of "Jingle Bell Rock."
Highlight: Yao Ming "singing" and Carl Landry and Aaron Brooks making no pretense of memorization and reading off a script.

I accept the Whole of Me
I accept the beauty of me
my curly hair , dark eyes and wide nose
my thick lips, high cheekbones and dark skin
my thick thighs, narrow waist, small breast and big feet
My mouth, quick with retort slow to repent
My love of soul food, sports, nature and men not all in that order
My amazing mood swings in all of their glory.
I have bad habits and some that are good, did I mention men?
I accept the beauty of me as well I should.
I accept the Whole of Me
My reflection in the mirror staring, smiling, marveling at the whole of me
I'm not what the world sees as beautiful even would label me ugly.
The world doesn't love the beauty of me; it only sees what it expects to see.
But my outer beauty is not the whole of me, nor this world's preceded characterization
The image, sparkling in my eyes, staring back at me is the whole of me.
The Spirit that forgives all my fought and supplies all my needs
My true beauty is the Spirit that dwells within the whole of me; for I am, Spirit.
