"Mutiat Took me from a place of acute self doubt to firm confidence"
Bella Stuart
Owner, Bella squash and shakes
Absolute no brainer! I instantly got my breakthrough from the shackles of negative self-talk and dampened spirit. It ignited my self-belief and boosted my confidence after too many years of trial and error that completely killed all my hopes of building a business of my own. I am now running a successful catering business without the fear of failure and a strong will to face the future with greater optimism. Thank you Mutiat for making all these possible.
"Glad I took the Training"
Abby Olufoyeke
Minds a right Training
Taking Mutiat's Untangle the roots coaching programme has really given me the structure I needed in managing and planing my life and business. Even though, I had tons of information as well as the skills and experience in my profession as a trainer and speaker, somehow I never got around to doing anything purposeful until I took the programme. I now have the right details and answers for some of the actions I have taken in the past and I know better as to the mind set I need to develop for specific results as well as actions I need to take.
"My Best Investment ever, For My Business Growth"
Enny Shotie
Party planner/Chef, at PK Edibles
The training is fantastic! I was able to get clear on my goals, got unstuck from my self-created barriers and was able to launch my first major product in less than three months of taking the programme. The value of the programme is exceptional and I would not hesitate to recommend it to people struggling to make of their business or life goals.
"Mutiat was so Succint in this Training"
Anna Townsend
Registered Manager, Agape Homes
Untangle the roots training dramatically improved my sales success and helped me know how to positively channel my energy towards what brings the results I crave. Now I'm having more fun with my business, doing the right things at the right time, and taking responsibility for my decisions and choices. I'm more confident about using my authentic strengths and not letting my weaknesses weigh me down but finding a way to turning them to greater strengths.
"This Training Brought back my happiness and confidence to live truly"
Happier mum
Untangle the roots, really helped me in sorting the mess I was in. Before I took the programme, I was utterly confused and vividly sad the way my life was going. I tried different methods and read lots of book but I did not get the result I wanted. With untangle the roots, I began to unlock the keys to my success, one after the other when I started identifying where exactly the problems had come from and I began to open up to the obstacles and started letting go of the stems of stagnation that I had clung to all the while. This programme is intense and truly mind blowing.
"The untangle The Roots Training Programme was a game changer for me and my company"

History was made by Westwoodside's Conor O'Hara and Misteron's Ella Hudspeth, from Hill House School as they became among the youngest pupils in the country to receive a prestigious Music Diploma from the London College of Music.
Achieving the qualification at only age 16 and 17, Conor and Ella can now use the letters DipLCM after their names, and have the right to wear an academic gown like their teachers.
Teachers Paul and Debbie Mellors, who combine their teaching at Hill House with their leadership of the nationally renowned BBC Open Choir of the Year Rainbow Connection, are of course, delighted with this remarkable success.
Director of Music Mark Cadman said: "The singers and their teachers have worked incredibly hard to gain these qualifications. It is practically unheard of to get these awards unless you are an adult, so this is an outstanding piece of news. We are very proud of them, and of the school choirs in which they sing."

soy oil.

Fresh off his participation as the youngest U.S. biathlete at the Sochi Winter Olympic Games, Conway Olympian 18-year-old Sean Doherty had an outstanding weekend of competition at the IBU Youth/Junior World Biathlon Championships in Presque Isle, Maine.
The Portland Press Herald reports Doherty made the championships "his personal playground Sunday afternoon" winning the youth men's 10K pursuit with a time of 28 minutes 51.8 seconds.
The Press Herald reports Doherty hit his first 14 shots – all 10 prone and the first four standing – missing only three overall, and says it was Doherty's second win of the weekend, as he also took gold in the 7.5k sprint on Friday.
"It's awesome," Doherty tells the Press Herald, "It's so incredibly satisfying when it comes together in a race like today. And to really have that, in front of the home crowd, just makes it better."

2011 is coming to an end but there were a lot of great things that has happened. The economy has got better and there were a lot of gadgets that were released this year as well. Here are some great gadgets that were released in the year 2011.
Samsung Galaxy S II – This device may be one of the most successful mobile phones after the iPhone with more than 10 million units being shipped around the world. As compared with the iPhone 4S, this one is better in terms of specifications.
Kindle Fire – One of the devices that revolutionized the tablet market is the Kindle Fire. Its price tag of only $199 while having a lot of things to offer made other competitors begging for mercy.
Canon EOS 1D-X – While this has yet to be released, its specs leave people drooling for it but like all the EOS 1D family, it has a hefty price tag. This 18MP camera is capable of shooting up to 14fps (read: terribly fast) and cost almost $8,000.
iPad 2 – It looks almost the same with the original version but it is thinner and is far more powerful than the original version as well. Sporting an A5 processor running at 1GHz, it starts at a price of $499.

Boston may be Beantown, but this past Thursday it was Chili Town at Ned Devine's 5th Annual Chili Cup. Three large rooms, 24 competing restaurants, and chili upon chili upon chili.
Before this event, chili was to me like that one guy in all my freshman classes. We were infrequent acquaintances with the potential for more but something (bad timing, wrong environment, social gaffes) kept getting in the way. Chili became a food I really had to be "in the mood" for, and it was often a gamble, leaving me disappointed. That all changed this week. Whether you're a timid-taster, like I was, or a hardcore enthusiast, the Chili Cup is for you.
How an Irish pub became the force behind this chili extravaganza is just another lovable Boston quirk. But for the fifth year, local restaurants gathered to showcase their spicy stuff. The event supports Community Work Services, an organization that's been helping people overcome barriers to employment for 137 years. CWS offers career training, such as a culinary program, and assists participants during every stage of their job journey. They help build the skills needed to obtain employment, like interviewing, and to maintain it, like managing workplace relationships. Their culinary program showed off its chops with a reindeer sausage chili.
The front bar room at Ned Devine's featured a Corona rep with swag (free beer cozies!) and there was live music from Ryan Brooks Kelly in the third room, but my tasting partner and I bee-lined to the back to begin our tasting. We were a little overzealous at first and thought we could take on all 24 tasting cups without even a pack of Tums. We arrived at six and voting had to be in by 8:15. After four samples each, we realized we should be sharing the cups to get the most mileage from our tasting. After ten samples each, we didn't know if we could ever eat chili again.
Favorites included Zo's ground lamb and beef chili and Finch's pork sausage and whiskey chili. I taste-tested locals like Cheers and Mija Cantina and tortilla chip company La Nina, but within the first twenty minutes of tasting, I had found my two winners.
Post 390 redefined chili for me with a wild boar and elk sample, topped with a blue corn chip. When I mentioned how phenomenal the corn chip was (not usually the word I use for a chip), they told me the secret to a great chili was having a pasty chef. That, or "shoot your own elk." Suffice to say, they had an upper hand on some of their competitors. The chili was more sweet than spicy and if that's what their pastry chef can do with a corn chip, I can't imagine the deliciousness of their actual pastries.
Bambara also blew me away with their sirloin and pork chili, topped with a mini cornbread muffin. Chef Jay explained to me that it's a typical competition chili, which means stew-ier and no beans. I had always seen beans as the bland, slightly chalky staple of chili, but this was a whole new world. This is a beloved and prize-winning recipe for Jay, whose secret to great chili is that they just love making it.
So it turns out, I do like chili and I actually have pretty good taste. Post 390 took runner-up and Bambara went home as Chili Cup Champ. Besides helping you forget the all the brown slushy snow in the streets of Boston, this event is a great way to add new restaurants to your must-eat list and helps you remember why you loved your favorites in the first place. I underestimated you, chili.

An embryo is an animal or plant in its early stages of development.
A Human embryo was a being between the gestational age of two weeks and twelve weeks. Prior to this, it was called a zygote, and after this it was called a fetus. The length of time that another species spent in a similar stage varied depending on the length of the gestation.
Dr. Arik Soong stole a number of Augment embryos from Cold Station 12 in 2134. In the 22nd century, Cold Station 12 was a top-secret facility located on an asteroid and jointly operated and staffed by Starfleet and the Denobulans under the auspices of the Interspecies Medical Exchange. The facility was used to store hazardous viruses and pathogens for research purposes, as well as over 1,800 embryos of 20th century Augments from the Eugenics Wars. (ENT: "Borderland")
In 2154, the Klingons used embryos from genetically-engineered Human Augments to resequence a number of test subjects. Unfortunately, there were some unanticipated side effects, including the dissolving of their cranial ridges. Augment DNA was found to be more aggressive than the Klingons realized; nevertheless, the test subjects became stronger and more intelligent before their neural pathways unexpectedly started to degrade, and they died in agony (see Klingon Augments). (ENT: "Affliction")

YouTube has a hidden dark mode that lends the site a more cinematic feel. The feature is available only through Chrome and requires you to dip your toes in Chrome's developer tools. But it's nothing more than pasting in a line of code and refreshing YouTube; it'll take less than a minute. Here's how to do it.
1. Make sure you're using the most recent version of Chrome (version 57 or later).
2. Open Chrome, navigate to YouTube and log into your account.
3. Open Chrome's Developer Tools panel by hitting Command-Option-I on a Mac or Ctrl-Shift-I on Windows.
4. On the panel that opens on the right side of your Chrome window, click the Console tab.
5. Copy and paste this line of code: document.cookie="VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=fPQ4jCL6EiE"
and then hit Enter.
6. Close the Developer Tools panel and refresh YouTube.
7. Click on your profile icon in the top right and you will see a more extensive menu, including a line for Dark Mode. Click it and click the toggle switch to Activate Dark Mode.
Unfortunately, you will need to reactive Dark Mode each time you restart Chrome. Hopefully Google will make this experimental feature official soon, to save you the step of entering code when you're staring at YouTube late at night and want to make things a little easier on your eyes.

The Marvel Studios: Ten Years of Heroes exhibition, which celebrates the 19 Marvel superhero movies in the last 10 years, opened to the public at ArtScience Museum on 9 June 2018. From now till 30 September, fans will be able to relive their favourite Marvel superhero movie moments at the show.
The project is part of a three-year collaboration between Singapore Tourism Board and The Walt Disney Company Southeast Asia. For the exhibition, Taiwan-based toy company Beast Kingdom worked with Walt Disney for the concept and displays.
Within the exhibit hall, there are 10 different galleries featuring places from the movies - for example, Stark Industries, Aasgard, and Wakanda. Each of these areas have life-sized statues, static displays, or interactive areas for fans to get their superhero fix.
Red Dot Diva was at the special preview for bloggers to take in the signs and sounds of the exhibition, and here are some of the things you can expect.

Vettel tops Barcelona first day
The opening day of the Barcelona F1 pre-season test was afflicted by mixed conditions that saw the track wet until almost lunchtime. Sebastian Vettel (1:24.374) produced the quickest lap on a short run and finished up more than a second quicker than Fernando Alonso's Ferrari F150th Italia (1:25.485).
"Unfortunately, we didn't complete many laps today, as we had a long break - longer than expected," Vettel said. "It wasn't anything big, nothing broke, but at a test if you think there might be a problem then you'd rather take the car apart and check. The boys did their best and we still got some runs towards the end of the day - not as much as we'd like, but the car feels good and hopefully we'll do more tomorrow."
Ferrari's main agenda, meanwhile, was collecting more Pirelli data. The day went smoothly with no technical problems, Alonso completing 101 laps.
Jaime Alguersuari (1:25.638) pleased local fans with third quickest time of the day in the new Toro Rosso STR06 during a programme that included a brake system evaluation.
Kamui Kobayashi (1:25.641) was fourth fastest with the Sauber C30. Technical director James Key said: "It was a wet start this morning so we decided to do a wet tyre programme. Pirelli brought the wet race spec tyre here and, as we had already tried the intermediate race spec, we used the opportunity to get to know the wet tyres. This was useful because the track started to dry up by mid-morning and we were able to learn how both the wet and the intermediate tyres behave on a drying track, which is always useful.
"We then suffered a powertrain problem which delayed us. We did another fuel system check test by running out on the track, and then worked on the tyre compounds, finishing the day with a long run. Kamui did a good job and was fairly consistent, which is good for the medium tyre on a track that is hard on tyres. It wasn't really until this afternoon that we were able to start to set up the car for Barcelona."
Jenson Button (1:26.365) finished the day fifth with the new McLaren MP4-26. Test team manager Indy Lall said: "We'd planned to begin the test by conducting a number of aero-mapping runs, but these were slightly disrupted because the track was still damp from last night's rain. As a result, we'll repeat that test tomorrow morning - weather permitting.
"We switched our focus to a series of shorter runs towards the end of the morning. These were used to evaluate set-up and establish a general direction for the afternoon's long-run programme, which gave us a very solid understanding of the behaviour of the Pirelli tyres over the course of a stint. We also satisfactorily ran our drag reduction system for the first time in anger, and continued work with the F1 hybrid. It's been a very solid day and we're pleased with our progress."
Paul Di Resta (1:26.575) was on duty with the new Force India but did only 26 laps as the team waited for spare parts, while Rubens Barrichello (1:26.912) had another disrupted day of testing for Williams.
Technical director Sam Michael explained: "We didn't have enough set-up time today. The track was moist to start and didn't start ramping up until late morning, at which point we encountered an issue with the engine. Over the break, we changed it and did just one proper run at the end of the session. All of our running was carried out on the medium compound tyre."
Michael Schumacher (1:27.512) started the Mercedes programme in Barcelona concentrating on aerodynamic evaluations and balance checks. Following the lunch break he did a successful race simulation including pit stops, completing around 90 laps in total.
Narain Karthikeyan lapped the HRT in 1:28.393, with Keikki Kovalainen recording 1:30.065 in the Lotus. Jerome D'Ambrosio got the new Virgin chassis round in 1:30.950, while Renault had a disrupted day with Nick Heidfeld (1:44.324) and Vitaly Petrov (1:35.174) sharing seat time.
"I was in the car for just an hour in the morning to do some pit stop practice," Heidfeld said. "I didn't do a proper run, just one timed lap and then came in and out for pit stops. It was the first time I have used the new traffic light system and it worked okay, but we found some small things to improve for next time."
Petrov added: "A difficult day for us because we lost a lot of time finding a problem with the KERS, but at least I got out for the final 40 minutes so that we could do the practice pit stops with our new lighting system. Because we didn't manage to do much running today, the team will give me some more time in the car tomorrow morning before Nick takes over."

Jewellery industry giants agree to join forces
The British Jewellers' Association (BJA) and the National Association of Goldsmiths will be combined to form the National Association of Jewellers.
The two trade bodies agreed to merge following a vote at London's Goldsmiths' Hall earlier this month.
Royds partner Stephen Welfare attended the extraordinary general meeting to act as the official scrutiniser.
He has worked closely with the BJA for a number of years, offering intellectual property advice to members as part of the organisation's Copywatch scheme.
The combined body will represent over 2,000 businesses and members hope the merger will benefit both retailers and their customers.
Gary Wroe, the BJA's chairman, said: "Combining the knowledge and expertise from both associations, I am confident that the NAJ will have an invaluable influence on the jewellery industry, improving brand identity, ensuring the maximum consumer confidence and ultimately creating an association that our members can be proud of."
Stephen added: "It is truly an historic event. The BJA was formed in 1887, and the NAG in 1894 so that's nearly 250 years of collective representation and assistance to the UK jewellery trade.
"To bring these ancient and honourable associations together has taken many years of negotiation, lobbying and hard work so I congratulate the respective chairmen, CEO's their staff and members. I was thrilled to be involved, and look forward to being of assistance to members of the new NAJ."
For advice on intellectual property matters please contact Stephen Welfare.

Mythical Dragon
Hatching Egg Statuette
Here we have a resin figurine of a hatching dragon. Most of the coloring on this piece is matte, except for the eyes, which are glossy black. There is a signature attached to the side of the model that is slightly chipped. It's dated, but I can't make it out. I'm going to guess 1988. Other than the chip in the signature, this little dragonette is in good shape.
It's about 1.5 inches tall and 2 inches wide. It weighs 1.7 ounces.
5.00 or Best Offer
1980 Perth Pewter Mythical Elven Figurine
Cutter the Elf
Meticulously hand-painted with enamel at one time, this little elven figurine bears the scars and war wounds of age and has possibly been played with as an action figurine. The paint is chipped all over the model.
It has a maker's mark on the base that says Warp Graphics, 1980, Perth Pewter. It also says Cutter on the base plate in front, by his feet.
So this would be Cutter the Elf from the ElfQuest series of books and magazines.
That would make this little elven statuette about 35 years old. He stands a little less than 3 inches tall and is at most 1 inch wide. He weighs 4.2 ounces - he is solid pewter.
$50.00 or best offer.

Imagine walking the streets of London, meeting exotic animals in Africa, or even exploring the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, all while earning credits towards graduation.
The university offers programs in over 40 countries and even offers a program in Washington DC. No matter what, things can be worked out to ensure the students financial situation and academic standing allow them to get abroad.
In order to apply, students must meet the requirements of completing their freshman year as well as meeting the GPA requirement for their desired program.
Different majors specify times most convenient to go abroad, so starting the application process early is strongly recommended.
According to the Assistant Director of the Study Abroad program, Susan Carey, "Students usually study abroad for a maximum of one year so it could be two different study abroad in two different locations or it could be one full year in one destination. There are cases where students have studied abroad more than that like three semesters, however they need to get approval from their dean in order to go abroad for a full semester."
One of the most rewarding things according to students who have studied abroad is being submerged in a brand new culture
Niki Kalmus, who studied her junior year of spring semester abroad in France stated, "It was really cool getting the first hand experience and getting to talk to people with completely different beliefs than us. there economy's different, there politics are different and my favorite part was just meeting new people."

We are now at the 9th key of the Tarot cards titled Hermit. This Hermit is at first a very sullen looking character, perhaps the most depressed looking at first. It's important to realize that his grey robe in popular occultism is actually a representation of whats called "the robe of glory" or aura. This aura by isolation is turned colorless or grey when unhealthy. To me this represents the necessary cycle of death that the old Hermit goes though.
The 'robe' has been discolored because of the extant 3 untied knots in the walking stick, meaning the 'walk' or activity of this old man has been very poor indeed. This of course isn't the grey reality as a static place of unchanging conditions and circumstances, but it's an indication to the pupil that this card is telling a very realistic tale. The life of one who follows the lights of conscious expansion is in very immediate danger of 'polarization' to the light who can and will devalue the bodily aspect. This is one way of viewing the card. The other is that by realizing one's final purpose life takes on meaning ultimately and is a guiding force in one's life.
YESHUA Said "the kingdom is within you". This sagely advice in connection to this card is to me a warning that a Kingdom, or Malkuth that is neglected will become knotted and choked up energy will gather at the base level. Without the vitalization of the aura the power to manifest this kingdom will be completely baseless and the light though in front of us will be an illumination no doubt, but our life will not embrace the light and we will focus upon the container of light to harness it . Instead the vitalization of the etheric body and the auric influences will be dissipated and there will be darkness in spite of perceived light.
This is because as Mar Yeshua said " the kingdom is within you" and our image is holding an external light. There are other interpretations but this is the story of involution, unless it's recognized that the tarot is speaking to our involuted nature and is showing a way of evolution as well we will be polarized upon one aspect of the body and the other of body less, form and pure energy are synthesized in MAN. This is why the hermit is such a great figure, it represents the aloof manner of polarization toward two extremes, and each creates knots.

19 Coasties Recognised On Queen's Birthday
Julie Dolan AM.
A big honour for a famous Coastie this Queen's birthday: former Matildas Julie Dolan's been made a Member of the Order of Australia.
The Wagstaffe local's been recognised for her pioneering role as the side's captain on three occasions through the 70's and 80's, including during the first ever Women's World Cup in 1988.
Ms Dolan says she's humbled to have received her latest accolade, but also that she and her teammates never saw themselves as trailblazers.
"At the time we were playing because we loved doing it, and we had to, because there was no other incentive," Ms Dolan says.
With the Matildas now receiving worldwide attention thanks to the likes of Sam Kerr, Ms Dolan says she sees a future in which Women's soccer achieves complete equality with the Men's game in Australia.
"Once the resources are pumped into the game, and the players and coaches, you'll see the benefits," she says.
The AM's also prompted her to reflect on her proudest moment.
"It'd have to be our first game in the first FIFA match against Brazil, where we actually beat the Brazillian team against all odds," Ms Dolan said.
Ms Dolan's still heavily involved in the world game: she's the director of the Kariong-based International Football School and the face of the Mariners' current bid for a W-League team.
Ms Dolan's one of three local sports personalities being recognised today - former NSW netball captain Vicki Kerr of Bateau Bay, and Wyong Roos club legend Morry Breen are both receiving Order of Australia medals.
Three members of the Coast's Arts community are also receiving medals this Queen's birthday - Patonga couple Jocelyn McMahon and (posthumously) Robin Norling are being recognised for their multi-award-winning careers since 1960, while Founder and President of the Central Coast Multi Arts Confederation Margaret Hardy's also got a nod.
There are also a few emergency services personnel getting a nod from their forces today: Tuggerah Lakes Police Superintendent John Gralton's received the Australian Police Medal, after a 40-year career during which he managed the police operation for the Pope's 2008 World Youth Day visit to Sydney among other highlights.
While Berkeley Vale FRNSW Station Officer Wayne Young is receiving an Australian Fire Service Medal for his 30-year career as a firefighter across the Coast and Sydney. In that time, he's responded to incidents including the 1997 Thredbo landslide and 2007 Pasha Bulker Storm.
Other Coasties being recognised with OAMs today include:
- John Asquith (Bateau Bay): Chair of the Community Enrivonrment Network since 1999 and Terrigal's Marine Discovery Centre.
- Merril Jackson (Point Frederick): Founder of The Poppy Project at Gosford War Memorial Park and Terrigal's Skillion.
- James Castley (North Avoca): For starting up not-for-profit SewAid, which teaches women in third world nations how to establish sewing businesses to benefit their communities.
- Herbert Leake (Woy Woy): Driver for Central Coast Meals On Wheels since 1985. Ex-president of Kincumber Probus club
- Warren Mills (Glenning Valley) For his work with the Rotary club of North Gosford since 1994.
- Neil Thompson (Woy Woy): Founder of the Salvation Army's Red Shield roadside collection program in 2004.
Colin & Vivien Paulson (Hamlyn Terrace): Both have been honorary commissioners of Scouts Australia since 2009, regional commissioners for hunter and coastal region and other regions in Sydney area before then. Colin's also the Treasurer of Norah Head Lighthouse Trust, while Vivien's also director of Budgewoi ladies choir, Warnervale Fair organising committee and Norah Head Women's Bowling club.
- Edwin Morris (Mangrove Mountain): President of Mangrove Mountain Bushfire Brigade since 1965, member of Mangrove Mountain country fair committee 1965-20115, co-founder of Mangrove Mountain community centre.
- Jack Anastas (Erina): President, National Association of Extremely Disabled War Veterans, NSW Branch, 2012-2017. Also member of Wamberal and Gosford lions clubs since 1973.
- Scot Levi (Gosford): Services to broadcasting.

I have been cringing and shying away from my blog for many days. There are things to blog, grumble and fuss about but I didn't want to do that. I have been keeping reality to myself. But now I have the perfect excuse to be here again: the wonderful Roy G Biv challenge that I always enjoy so much.
I hope 'blue' includes cyan because I love this old window from the Greek island of Amorgos, in the Aegean Sea. The photograph is not new (and I could grumble a lot about needing a good camera here) but beauty never ages, does it?
Midday blues on the island of Corfu, in the Ionian Sea. That's the western part of Greece, facing Italy. A very hot August and a dusty summer wind that failed to cool the air.
From summerish cyans to winterish purple-blues. I took this shot in a cold evening in February -a February long gone. The horses didn't seem to mind the biting wind, they grazed and walked around leisurely.
A spectacular double rainbow as seen from my balcony door last autumn. At least I think it was in autumn. We get double rainbows frequently here but they are rarely so clear and vibrant. Oh, and the sky is blue, of course.
And a bouquet of flowers for you all, my dear friends from blogland and my new followers. I am probably testing your patience, bear with me for a while. Life is hurling lemons my way and I'm trying to keep my head above the pile.

OU Welcomes New Administrators
A Navy helicopter pilot who also has incredible business experience, Dr. Kirk Wessel was initially hired to lead the business program at OU-Arizona and our MBA program nationwide. He is currently serving as acting dean of the School of Business.
Wessel has more than 12 years of experience in higher education teaching, leadership and community relations, with an additional 23 years of professional experience in business. Wessel came to OU-Arizona in the summer of 2010 from Westminster College (Salt Lake City, Utah), where he served as associate professor of business and chair of both the management and MBA programs. Not only is Wessel an experienced educator, he has a rich professional background, having served as a vice president for Associated Foods (UT), a partner with OCM, Incorporated (an organizational development firm located in Salt Lake City), a human resources manager for PEPSICO (Salt Lake City and Los Angeles) and a captain with the United States Navy and Naval Reserve. He also served as a state representative in Utah.
Captain Kirk, as his students fondly call him, says, "My strategy at the graduate program level is to bring students back to campus, to a certain extent, to make the experience more intimate. I want them to develop a peer-to-peer network, really get to know their faculty and use those teachers as resources as they go through their careers. We're developing programs with those goals in mind."
Wessel received his bachelor's degree in engineering from the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis (MD) and earned a Master of Business Administration and a PhD in Business Policy and Strategy from the University of Utah.
Mary Vanis
A desire for change and challenge led Dr. Mary Vanis to her duties as the new campus executive of OU-Arizona in September.
"My career at Maricopa was great," says Vanis. "I wasn't looking around, but I found myself drawn to OU's leadership team. They are open to new ideas, have vision and offered me opportunities. I didn't need to make a move. I was making good money, had a great position, but I wanted something challenging and wanted to be where I feel like I was value-added. OU™ represents that to me."
Vanis came to Ottawa University from Maricopa Community Colleges, where she served as the director of the Center for Workforce Development for a combined seven years. In that capacity, she coordinated Maricopa's planning, development, maintenance, implementation, and evaluation of occupational programs. Vanis is a 28-year veteran with the Maricopa Community Colleges and served in several key leadership roles, both within and outside the Maricopa system. She holds a PhD in Educational Administration from Northern Arizona University, in addition to master's and bachelor's degrees from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. Vanis has been a member of the Governor's Council on Workforce Policy since 2002 and serves on the Greater Phoenix Economic Council and Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce.
"There are a lot of things happening at Ottawa now that I believe will benefit from my strengths," says Vanis. "For example, I come from a community college and I know how to help OU develop and expand on its partnerships with those schools."

The Case for Mike Rowe for President
But before we get our hopes up of a charming, honest Mike Rowe announcing his presidential bid, there's just one minor problem. And the problem is not Mike Rowe himself, but Americans. Americans, frankly, don't deserve Mike Rowe.
As it stands right now, Trump and Clinton are so hated, even within their own parties, I contend any normal, honest person could walk right in and win the election. With financial support form the Peter Thiels of the world, not to mention a GoFundMe account I'm sure would raise millions overnight, Mike Rowe could just walk in in the 11th hour with a clever marketing strategy and steal the election with a write in campaign. But, ironically, that's the easy part. It would be getting Mike Rowe to decide to run that's the hard part.
Think about what Mike Rowe or any normal person would have to give up. Since he is normal that means he likely has a healthy family, normal life, and a job he enjoys. He has his hobbies, interests, and friends. His entire value and happiness is contingent on that life and all of that would go away over night if he decided to run for president.
Instead of working on another documentary like "How Booze Built America" he'd have to deal with the asswipes in congress trying to force some unwanted toxic piece of omnibus legislation into a term limits bill.
Instead of spending time with his dad, he'd have to deal with accusations of racism, sexism, bigotry, ageism, and whatever other "isms" Americans can create as he cuts social spending and tries to balance the budget.
The media would find, if not outright create, skeletons in his closet, ruining his life at home.
Not to mention his prominence would bring out 20 year old (likely false) accusations of rape or sexual assault a la Bill Cosby, Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, etc., running the risk of legal troubles.
And all for a paycheck that is likely not too much more than what he can muster working in film.
The truth is only people who have nothing else in their lives can endure this baptism by fire because "getting elected into office" is the only thing in life they have. Clinton (both Bill and Hillary) epitomize this with a broken family, a miserable home life, murder and rape accusations, and a machiavellian relationship that is designed for political advancement and not love. I don't care how many millions they make in speeches, they'll never come close to what Mike Rowe and normal people have. And that's just not worth risking on a presidential bid.
Ultimately it is the American public and a "fanning-the-flames" media who are to blame for the outright pathetic presidential candidates we have today. In becoming an entitled and spoiled population, the American public get vehement if any politician dares to hold them up to adult standards of self-supportation and independence. In separating the country by race and gender, any attempt to treat people as genuine equals and hold them up to equal standards begets accusations of racism, sexism, and any other form of "ism" professional victim whores can come up with. And the media, with its abandonment of genuine journalism and its duty as the 4th branch of government, would prefer to get clicks and make money by shelling out yellow, if not outright, brown journalism, even if it ruins would-be honest politicians' personal lives (not to mention, the future of the country).
Joseph Maistre said it best when he said, "You get the government you deserve."
And Americans don't deserve Mike Rowe.

Since you can't vote for the man himself, vote for his dog!
There was Ron Paul in '08 and '12, but Amerika does not deserve him either. Hell, he was one of the only person in Congress as a medical doctor you could have your wife undress in front of not get raped or assaulted.
I'll be voting Trump, but I don't have high expectations.
Think of this as "government by the least damaged of the most damaged of people".
Anyone who would be a good fit for the job should by all accounts never be allowed to have it because the job would ruin the person's life.
Anyone who would want the job should by all accounts never be allowed to have it because the person isn't fit for the job.
America didn't deserve Adlai Stevenson as President either, so do keep in mind that you have to be a particularly noxious politician to appeal to American voters.

Considering the current situation, Trump is a great candidate. He wants to close the borders, and he has the courage to do it. If Hilary gets in and amnesty passes, republicans will never win again.
I know there are other issues but if Trump can fix illegal immigration once and for all, that would really help!
- David Jravis said...
I've thought along those similar lines for some time.
It's the great irony of the age. The ones who SHOULD run for president, don't, because they know that what they have to gain is less than what they have to lose. That, and they just want to live their lives in peace.
That leaves the ones that should NOT be running, DO run, since they have more to gain by doing so. These types enjoy the idea of running people's lives.
It can be argued that Trump is a bit of an anomaly. I'm convinced that he started his campaign as a lark, with no serious intention of winning. The problem was, he became more popular than even he expected.
Trump has nothing to lose should he be defeated. In fact, he has everything to gain. The problem is, he can't simply drop out now, as they would be seen as a betrayal of trust by his die-hard supporters. It would tarnish the Trump name forever, and make no mistake, this is all about promoting the Trump name.
But, if he was to legitimately LOSE to Clinton, his reputation (by his supporters) would not only remain intact, but would be enhanced by their unreasonably high expectations.
In short, the best outcome for Trump isn't to be the greatest president that ever was... it's to be the greatest that NEVER was. Imagine the boost to the Trump name when all of his great expectations never have to actually be lived up to, as opposed to actually winning the office and risk failing them, thus, again, risk tarnishing the Trump name.
It would certainly explain why he says the outrageous things he does, almost as if he WANTS to lose.
Sorry for the length. I meant to just leave a comment, but wound up writing a column.
- Peregrine John said...
Someone who knows me well gave me one of Mike's shirts, promoting his dog for Prez (and he for VP). I wear my Vote Freddie and the Biped shirt proudly and hilariously.
Trump also wants to go after the corruptocrats in BOTH parties who have sold this country down the drain for their One World Government utopia.
THAT is why the screeching is so loud from all over the world, and especially from the Western "leaders" who share the same goal as the Democrats and the Rove Republicans.
Trump believes in the United States as a sovereign independent nation-state. All those screeching against him do not.
- Mr. Bee said...
Don't be absurd. Row probably goosed some girl in high school and will be willing to testify to that effect should it look like he stood any chance to win at all.
Trump will lose, since he has the combined weight of the mainstream media, The Klinton Krime Klan, the Democommies,, and traitorous RINO scum all opposing him. I think Trump is actually motivated by a desire to unfuck this country. Too bad he will never get the chance.
Trump has already helped this country by exposing the Repukes for what they are, double dealing scum who care nothing about the average working man.
Ultimately, Trump will dust himself off and go back to his fantastic life of privilege, enjoying his amazing family, and fucking his SMOKING HOT TROPHY WIFE. Talk about Enjoying The Decline :-)

The Indiana Supreme Court has accepted a case asking whether a construction subcontractor on a public school project can be held liable for attorney fees under the state's public records access laws applying to public agencies.
At its private conference last week, the justices considered a total of 24 cases. View the full transfer disposition list.
The court granted transfer in one case, Shepard Properties Co. d/b/a Shepco Commercial Finishes v. International Union of Painters and Allied Trades, District Council 91, No. 49A04-1010-PL-676. In June, the Court of Appeals reversed a lower judge's denial of Shepco's motion to correct error challenging an order that awarded attorney fees to the painters union as the prevailing party in an action brought under the Indiana Access to Public Records Act. The appellate judges found the trial court erroneously imposed joint and several liabilities for statutory attorney fees under the APRA, as there's no provision for the assessment of attorney fees against a private party in the event of improper nondisclosure under the act.
The justices dismissed Shonk Electric v. Siemens Medical Solutions USA, No. 55A05-1009-CC-554, by a unanimous vote and denied transfer in 22 other suits. One of those included Murat Temple Association v. Live Nation Worldwide and Old National Bancorp, No. 49A02-1008-PL-952, in which the Court of Appeals in August affirmed the trial court's dismissal of Murat's claim that the event promoter violated the terms of its lease agreement.

A Clarification
To all Wardens and Honorary Consuls
Some of you may have picked up on the news that the Travel Advice for Indonesia has changed. For you own information and in case you are asked the following is an explanation of these changes. The important issue is the removal of "avoid all non-essential travel to Indonesia". However, this does not mean any reduction in the level of threat.
There is further explanation on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office web site www.fco.gov.uk under "News Wire" "Latest Headlines"
Explanatory Note on change to UK travel advice for Indonesia
After a worldwide review of Travel Advice, ordered by the Foreign Secretary in December 2003, the UK Government approach to travel advice has been changed. The Foreign Secretary announced these changes in his written statement to Parliament on 22 June 2004 (attached*). The main change is that "in the case of intelligence-based terrorist threats, HMG will advise against travel to a specific country only in situations of extreme and "imminent danger". In addition the language and phrases used in travel advice have been changed to make travel advice sharper and more user friendly.
Our travel advice for Indonesia has therefore changed In line with the worldwide changes, we have removed the reference to "avoid all non-essential travel to Indonesia". These changes should not be seen as downgrading the terrorist threat in Indonesia. The change is simply to be as open and descriptive as possible in order to allow British nationals to make an informed decision about whether to travel.

University of the Third Age -The Age of Active Retirement - People Exchanging Knowledge.
U3As are for people in retirement or semi-retirement. They enable members to share intellectual, cultural, creative, physical and leisure interests. These activities encourage positive ageing, and provide fulfilment and personal enrichment.
U3As are voluntary, non-profit organisations which are non-sectarian and non-political. There is no central governing body, each group sets up its own organisation and programmes, run by volunteers from among the group's members. Groups fund themselves, arrange speakers for the regular meetings, often drawing on their own members to share their specific experiences and talents. There are no advantages, either material or financial, for those who volunteer their services.
There are no exams, no educational requirements, no compulsory activities. Costs are minimal to suit everyone, and meetings are held during the daytime.
The purpose of U3A is to:
• Encourage further learning by listening, understanding, contributing, researching and participating in discussion and relevant excursions about new topics.
• Tap the great reservoir of knowledge, skills and experience of retired men and women.
• Provide a venue for the meeting together of like minded people to learn, contribute and to make new friends in their local community.
"Those who teach shall also learn.
Those who learn shall also teach"
Peter Laslett - U3A Cambridge, 1981
This is particularly true of U3A which calls us to active learning, often beyond our comfort zone. This provides the zest and excitement of research and discovery about topics which, in our busy working lives, were completely inaccessible to us.
Main Meetings.
Held on a regular basis. (Once a month, Last about 2 hours.)
For half the time there is an invited speaker, a leader in their field of expertise.
Before that a member or members share their knowledge or experience
Study groups take it in turn to present their "best", recent talk(s).
Refreshments are provided with the opportunity to socialise. (There is a small charge.)
Special Interest [Study] Groups are U3A's point of difference from other groups for Seniors. Within these groups, the main learning and fellowship occur.
Examples of Special Interest (Study) Groups are: Art Practical, History, Films, Travel, Outdoor Activities, Photography etc etc.
It should be clear at the outset to new members that involvement in these groups is a condition of membership. There are lots of other organisations for Seniors which do not require this which may suit them better.
New members can be asked to choose two or three groups listed on the registration form. The conveners of those groups can then approach the new member to offer a welcome, a lift to their first meeting, etc
Each Special Interest (Study) Group
• Meets regularly once or twice a month.
• Has between 6 and 20 members
• Its programme is chosen and presented by its members.
• Members are supported in organising their presentation if wished.
• New members may present a 10 minute talk to begin with
• Each member takes responsibility for presenting, to the rest of the group, information on the chosen topic. This may come from their own background, experience or research.. Outside speakers are sometimes invited to present but, on the whole members enjoy the opportunity to extend themselves.
• Meets in members' homes or at community centres.
• A convenor from the group organises the "nuts and bolts".
• Any member should belong to at least one of these groups. There is no upper limit to how many groups a member may belong to. Just time!
• The real socialising takes place in these small groups.
• By doing this we strive to fulfill the spirit of U3A as stated by Peter Laslett who founded U3A.
A Committee keeps the organisation running:
• Elected annually.
• About 10 members
• Responsible for such tasks as president, secretary, treasurer, new members, newsletter, setting up the venue for meetings, catering, publicity, convenor support, organising the major speaker and website.

Here are a couple upcoming events at Chester Skatepark for Scooter/BMX. Check it out! Chester park is a great example of a regional concrete skatepark that draws people from across the province and is a great economic driver for their community.
A parent perspective…
"As a parent of three kids and a resident of the Town of Kentville, I fully support the development of a quality skate park in our town.
My two boys, aged 11 and 13 have developed a passion for scooters, as have many of their friends. This summer, I made numerous trips to parks in Halifax, Chester, Windsor, Wolfville and Greenwood, sometimes making the drive into an entire day trip and always taking other children in addition to my own."

Giorgione villas, seven treasures to discover
Palladian mansions between Asolo and Castelfranco
A new tourist route of rare beauty in the land of Giorgione.
In the Veneto region there are seven spectacular villas, all bathed in the territory between Asolo and Castelfranco, which are the stages of the new exclusive route"'Le Ville del Giorgione". The project was born from the desire to promote not only the city of Giorgione and the symbolic places (Theatre, Cathedral, Museum) but especially the wonderful area of Venetian villas in the area, with the possibility of visits to the circuit.
Here you find Villa Corner della Regina (Cavasagra Vedelago), Ca 'Amata (Castelfranco Veneto), Ca' Marcello (Levada di Piombino Dese), Villa Cornaro (Piombino Dese), Villa Barbaro (Maser), Villa Emo (Fanzolo), Villa Corner-Chiminelli (St. Andrew's OM of Castelfranco Veneto), which become the ideal stages of a multi-sensory journey through history, art, taste.
Le Ville del Giorgione: seven Palladian post-Palladian villas (three of them are UNESCO heritage) that are unmatched corollary to the City of Giorgione, are all alive, lived, and all visitable. Seven 'Star' that revolve around the City of Giorgione, an ideal destination for day trips, long weekend dedicated to art, landscape, history and substantiated by other excellent local or cuisine with local products (radicchio, mushrooms, asparagus and whatever) that can be found in the Lands of Giorgione and enticed the curious tourist. But this is not enough to describe the extraordinary opportunities that the visitor can find in the surrounding area from Asolo, the city of a hundred horizons, which is a shot stopper, up there towards the hills of Prosecco.

When It Comes To Getting Website Traffic, You Need A System
When it comes to getting new visitors to your website, do you have a system in place?
If you're like most online businesses, you don't. However, you don't want to be like most online businesses since most of them fail to ever make money.
Just like every business should have a business plan, every online business needs to have a system in place bring in traffic. (Yes, you still need a business plan too.)
For example, you should decide what methods you want to focus on to bring traffic to your website whether that be pay per click, search engine optimization, ezine advertising, social media, banner ads, joint venture, direct mail, or most likely some combination of methods.
Initially, you will want to experiment with methods, and track to see which methods are bringing you the highest return on investment, but once you've figured out with methods you're going to use, then it's time to start turning the use of those methods into a system.
That means you'll setup a list of procedures that are to be followed. For example, if you decide you want to use articles to drive traffic to your website, the procedure may be as simple as writing an article, submitting it to a variety of article directories, and sending people who click on your links to a landing page for a free report. This is a simple system, but it's important to have nonetheless.
The best part about having a system for bringing in new traffic is that once you have it setup, you can hire someone else to do parts of it or even the whole thing. It can free you up so you can spend more time working on your business than in your business.
For example, if you take the system I just mentioned about articles, you could take that system and outsource the entire task to someone else to do for you. You would simply hire someone to write the articles, they would submit them, and they would link to your landing page.
The ultimate goal of systems, of course, is to make it so that your business can grow and function without you. I know that may be a horrifying idea to think of your business thriving without you, but that's exactly what you want. Not only does it free up a lot of your time, it also makes your business substantially more valuable in the event that you decide you want to sell your business.
Even if you don't want to setup systems for you entire business just yet, at least start with one for getting traffic to your website. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
If you're ready to learn techniques and strategies you can start using right now to start systematically your website's traffic, then sign up for my printed monthly newsletter at www.TrafficTransformation.com/monthly/ – this is one resource anyone serious about getting more traffic can't be without.

MKSAP quiz: Screening for diabetes
This month's quiz asks readers to consider a 38-year-old man who expresses interest in being screened for diabetes during a periodic health maintenance visit.
A 38-year-old man is evaluated during a periodic health maintenance visit. His friend was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and the patient expresses interest in being screened. He is asymptomatic and reports no symptoms of polyuria or polydipsia. He exercises regularly. Medical and family histories are unremarkable. He takes no medications.
On physical examination, the patient is afebrile, and blood pressure is 126/72 mm Hg. BMI is 28. The remainder of the examination is normal.
Laboratory studies reveal an LDL cholesterol level of 97 mg/dL (2.51 mmol/L) and an HDL cholesterol level of 55 mg/dL (1.42 mmol/L).
According to U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendations, when should this patient be screened for type 2 diabetes?
A. At a BMI of 30
B. At age 40 years
C. At age 50 years
D. At the current visit
MKSAP Answer and Critique
The correct answer is B. At age 40 years. This item is available to MKSAP 17 Digital and Complete subscribers as item 6 in the General Internal Medicine section of Update 2. More information about MKSAP 17 is available online.
This patient should be screened for abnormal blood glucose and type 2 diabetes mellitus at age 40 years. In a 2015 recommendation statement, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommended screening for abnormal blood glucose as part of cardiovascular risk assessment in all adults aged 40 to 70 years who are overweight (BMI 25-29.9) or obese (BMI >30). The evidence for the optimal screening frequency is limited, but the USPSTF suggests screening every 3 years. Screening can be performed with measurement of fasting plasma glucose or HbA1c or with an oral glucose tolerance test. Patients with evidence of abnormal glucose metabolism should be referred for intensive behavioral counseling interventions aimed at promoting a healthful diet and physical activity. Behavioral counseling in this population has been shown to have a moderate impact on incidence of diabetes and cardiovascular outcomes. This patient has a BMI of 28, so he meets the criterion for overweight; however, he is not yet 40 years old. He should be screened in 2 years if his BMI remains above 25.
The screening initiation age and frequency are the same for both overweight and obese patients according to the USPSTF recommendation. In a patient age 40 years or older, it would be inappropriate to delay screening until BMI reaches 30.
Key Point
- The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening all adults aged 40 to 70 years who are overweight or obese for abnormal blood glucose and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Sure, but I think that the installation of any software on a local machine requires a certain amount of trust: even if the application is easy to install and uninstall (which is the case of precompiled Caml distributions), the user cannot be sure of this in advance - and won't be unless everybody already uses it. The other advantage (and danger) of a public interactive book is that it would be really provocative. That could be a good way to promote Caml.

Signing up for an online dating site can be nerve-wracking -- what profile pic do I use? what should I say my interests are? if I shave two years off my age, do I need to adjust the year I graduated? -- but one 24-year-old woman has discovered the trick to making the whole experience not only tolerable, but super fun. Kayli Stollack knew it would be easier to go through the online dating bowels with a buddy, and enlisted the help of a wingman.
Not just any wingman, though. Stollack got her 76-year-old grandmother, Gail, to sign up for OKCupid, too.
The dynamic duo swap stories, lament about lame dates, cheer each other's successes, and laugh about the commonalities in the dating world that seem to know no age. The pair appeared on Good Morning America to share their Dos and Don'ts when it comes to navigating the Internet dating scene -- my favorite tip was "don't brag about sexual technique." Thanks, Grandma.
Kayli and Gail have a good thing going and bring up an interesting point. Maybe the buddy system can be helpful when you're two single gals on the virtual town. It's always nice, no matter what the topic, to have someone to talk to who understands what you're going through. Seems like signing up with a friend is a great idea, and if you've got a single granny? Even better.
I never really thought that dating could be a group activity but Kaylie and Gail's story is inspiring. I bet a lot of people resolved in 2012 to get more into the dating scene ... maybe doing so with a friend or family member or heck, a senior citizen, could make the prospect a little less daunting.
Do you use online dating sites? Do you have a wingman?
