Picture this scene: You're lying in bed – before even having time to open your eyes – a tidal wave of realisation drowns any ambitions you had for the day.
The crash of thunder that woke you, that's actually the bins you put out last night getting effortlessly tossed around by a relentless wind bellowing through the streets.
The running water you can hear, it isn't your other half in the shower. That's the sound of perpetual rain hammering against the window.
You're supposed to be doing seventy-five miles of endurance on your bike today, and you can't help but sigh,
"That's going to be like doing a four and a half hour ALS Ice Bucket Challenge".
It's January, still dark outside, and your goal for the year isn't until October. How do you motivate yourself to get up and head out into the weatherbomb exploding outside?
Living in the North West of England, this is exactly what I expect to wake up to this weekend. Luckily I have a few tricks to help get me out of the door.
At least it isn't as bad as…
I think back to the last time I was really, truly, miserable on my bike. Today can't be as bad as that can it? For me, this is during the Festive 500 in 2013. I was at the furthest point from home. Where turning around was going to be no quicker than carrying on when it started snowing. Sideways.
I was at the top of the biggest climb of the day, completely exposed. It was Christmas, I'm on a hill in the middle of nowhere and the cold hurts so badly that I want to cry. I don't get phone signal out there, and no one was around to help anyway. I had a complete feeling of isolation and it was terrifying. So, no. Today will not be as bad as that. Man up and get out.
This is going to toughen me up
Miles are training for your body, the weather is training for your mind. If you can get yourself outside even when every fibre in your body is telling you to stay in bed, you can get out of the saddle and attack the last climb when every fibre in your body is telling you to back off. Drop the other guys, not off the back. Man up and get out.
If / Then
Using power to train gives me some lovely graphs that reveals just how fit I really am. If I can make these bigger than ever during winter, that means I have a larger base to build an even higher peak when it matters. One that towers over my previous years personal bests (and rivals). Man up and get out.
I'm more committed than the guy that's still in bed
Which means I'm going to beat that guy in Spring. Lets look at it another way. My average cadence is 98-100 rpm. If I pedal for three hours today that's 17,640 more times I've practiced turning the pedals. In one ride. Have I convinced myself yet? Most likely! Man up and get out.
It's still fun!
Windy as hell? Great, smash some Strava segments for godsake and show the internet how tough you are for going out in such ridiculous weather. Man up and get out.
Coming home feels awesome
There's nothing like getting home after a few grim ours, showering, getting dry and indulging in a delicious home-made hot chocolate or cappuccino and watching the Kudo's and comments of how crazy-tough you are come rolling in… Man up and get out.
I always make sure I reward myself for going out. Something I wouldn't normally have or do that day. I try not to go crazy (maybe some sweets or a trip to the cinema), but thinking about this little treat while I'm out is sometimes the only thing that keeps the legs turning when things get really grim.
I imagine willpower like a torch shining a bright light on my goals, but every time I switch it on I'm using some of the battery. Eventually it's completely drained. My little treat recharges it and I'm ready to go again.
Those are my pro-tips. So what gets you out the door when the weather's poor?

Military Girlfriend's Facebook Picture Is Stirring Up Controversy [PHOTO, POLL]
A picture taken of a vehicle with the following words written on the rear window: "Sorry if I'm speeding, my boyfriend just got back from Afghanistan!!!" has been going viral over Facebook since being uploaded to the Busted Locals page.. Parties for both sides of the argument have been firing comments left and right. Things like:
Maybe you wouldn't have to speed if you hadn't taken the time to write this."
Come on guys, lighten up, I think a lot of u are missing the whole point!!! She is excited!!"
As a veteran myself (USMC) that served overseas, I understand this woman's excitement. But I'm not for sure if she's conveying the right kind of message.

Khrushchev's reply(1) was read to the group, the President not having yet arrived.
A statement to be made by the President at his 6:00 PM press conference was discussed and approved.(2) The following decisions were reached:
a. The quarantine is to be lifted immediately and a proclamation revoking it is to be prepared.(3)
b. U.S. naval forces in the Caribbean will remain there for the time being and carry out normal exercises. Ships in the area will not be removed because it is normal for some to be always on station in the Caribbean. Latin American ships which are in the quarantine force will be asked to stay and participate in exercises.
c. Secretary McNamara recommended, and the President agreed, that there would be no low-level reconnaissance missions flown tomorrow.
d. High-level flights averaging not more than one a day will continue intermittently because of the importance of knowing that the IL-28 bombers are actually being removed.
Two other actions are to be taken without public notice:
a. The SAC air alert will be terminated and all other military forces will be put on a reduced alert basis.
b. TAC planes concentrated along the coast will be deployed inland.
Secretary McNamara recommended that within forty-eight hours we announce that the air reserves called up for the Cuban crisis would be released before Christmas.
The OAS Organ of Consultation meeting will be called off. The State Department will call in the Latin American Ambassadors before the President's press conference to brief them on the Russian reply.
Attention was called to the reference in the reply to Soviet ground forces. The assumption was that these forces would be removed.
The President asked where the question of our no-invasion assurance stands. In the light of what Khrushchev has agreed to do, if he does not get our assurances he will have very little. We should keep the assurances informal and not follow up with a formal document in the UN.
Alexis Johnson returned to the meeting to report that ABC reporter John Scali had been given the substance of Khrushchev's reply by a Russian source.(4) There followed a discussion of whether we should insist on shipside inspection of the IL-28 bomber removal. No clear decision was reached, some of the group believing we should insist on the shipside inspection and others saying this was not necessary.
There was further discussion of the no-invasion assurances. The Attorney General expressed his opposition to giving the assurance informally. We would be giving away a bargaining counter because Khrushchev is not insisting on having formal assurances. The President restated his view that Khrushchev would be in a difficult position if he gave us something and got nothing in return. We do not want to convey to him that we are going back on what he considers our bargain.
An instruction to McCloy and Stevenson(5) is to be drafted which says that we will make no formal no-invasion assurance and explained why we declined to do so.

So what does director David Yates do after helming four movies in the mega 'Harry Potter' franchise? Well despite having a plethora of potential big movies to choose from ("The Stand," the gangster epic "Cicero," the fairy tale flick "Fables") he's made a pretty interesting shift in direction, choosing something a bit more intimate in scope.
The director will take on the feature film adaptation of screenwriter Emma Forrest's memoir "Your Voice In My Head." The writer behind "Liars (A-E)" — once set to be directed by Richard Linklater before it tragically fell apart — penned the candid book about her battle with self-destructive behavior and how she was saved by a compassionate psychiatrist. While many like to use her former relationship with Colin Farrell as the focal point for any conversation about the book, she told us at the beginning of the year after the rights to her book were picked up, "this is a memoir about the doctor who saved me, not the Colin Farrell train."
"It's a small film, hard hitting and with elements of magic realism. Compared to 'Potter' it would cost tuppency ha'penny, and for that reason it would be incredibly liberating to make," Yates said about the upcoming film to Variety. And frankly, it's pretty exciting. Undoubtedly, Yates could have taken an easier road, with another brand/property, but it's kind of awesome he's using his post-'Potter' clout to do something smaller, and flex some different muscles.
Forrest wrote the screenplay which takes place in New York, London and Istanbul. Lensing on the British production will take place next summer. So it looks like "Doctor Who" will have to wait for now.

Every hospice is different. In fact, hospice is a medical specialty like pediatrics, geriatrics, oncology, etc. Each hospice is a different company in and of itself. All hospices follow Medicare guidelines, but their philosophy of care may differ.
When the Hospice movement first started, it was staffed by volunteers depending upon donations to survive. In1982 Medicare began reimbursing for Hospice Care, with private insurance and Medicaid following.
All hospices, whether non-profit or for-profit, can bill for their services. Inspiring Hospice provides the full range of hospice services using only the funding provided by Medicare, Medicaid or the patient's insurance. We do not use fundraising to pay for our services, administrative or overhead costs. Donations to our Foundation go directly to pay for goods and services that are not covered by Medicare, Medicaid or insurance.
It is your right to request the hospice of your choice if more than one hospice serves your area.
Can my pain and symptoms be controlled at home?
Yes. Pain and other symptoms can usually be controlled in the patient's home. If a symptom (i.e. pain, nausea or vomiting, or difficulty breathing) becomes a problem, the hospice nurse can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There have been great advances in pain and symptom control in the past few years. Most symptoms can be controlled without the use of injections or IV medication. The hospice nurse will assess your pain and symptom control at each visit. Hospice medical directors are always available to adjust medications.
Does Hospice provide 24 hour in-home care?
No. Hospice provides nursing visits to assess, monitor and treat symptoms, as well as teach family and caregivers the skills they need to care for the patient. Team members are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer questions or visit when the need arises.
Where is hospice care provided?
Hospice care is provided in a setting that best meets the needs of each patient and family. The most common setting is the patient's home or the home of a relative. Hospice care is also provided in nursing homes, care centers and hospitals according to patient care needs.
Can I live alone and still receive Hospice services?
Of course. Heart of Hospice accepts patients who live alone. However, a caregiver must be available as needed, and part of the admission and ongoing care process is to plan and prepare for the time in a patient's illness when 24-hour a day care will be necessary.
Can a hospice patient choose to return to curative treatment?
Receiving hospice care is always a choice. A patient may leave hospice and return to curative treatment if that is their choice. If the patient later chooses to return to hospice care, Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurance companies permit re-activation of the hospice benefit.
Can I go back to the hospital and still receive hospice care?
Yes. However, many symptoms that would normally require hospitalization or an emergency room visit can be successfully managed at home by the hospice team, thus preventing the stress of hospitalization. Hospice patients generally only have the need for short hospital stays to stabilize a symptom and then are able to return home. Hospital stays that relate to the hospice diagnosis are covered by hospice.
Is the decision for hospice care giving up hope or waiting to die?
Hospice is about living not dying. Hospice strives to bring quality of life and comfort to a patient and their family. Our successes are in helping a patient and family live fully until the end. Often patients will feel better with good pain and symptom management. Hospice is an experience of care and support, different from any other type of care. Hospice isn't about giving up hope, it is about living life to the fullest, making each journey the best it can be.
Does hospice do anything to bring death sooner?
No one has the power to shorten or prolong life, just the power to live it as you choose. Our goal is always to alleviate suffering and manage symptoms. Hospice does nothing to speed up or slow down the dying process. Our role is to lend support and allow the disease process to unfold as comfortably as possible.
Do I have to be homebound to receive hospice services?
Hospice is about living fully. We encourage patients to do what they enjoy as they are able. The hospice team assists patients and families in achieving their goals and dreams as much as possible.
Does hospice provide support to the family after the patient dies?
Yes. Bereavement Services follow family and caregivers for a year following the patient's death. These services may include personal visits, providing information concerning the grief process and offering periodic opportunities for group support.

John Maxwell reflects on the need to encourage members of the team in their personal growth in sharing the following three key techniques
Whenever I write or speak on the subject of leadership, I share that the best leaders are always on the lookout for opportunities to help people in their organizations grow. Helping team members grow is a great way to enhance your own growth and develop together as a team.
1. Be Quick to Listen — We live in a world that is clamoring to be heard. Between social media, blogs, video journals, podcasts and traditional media, a lot is being said, but not many are listening. So when you go out of your way to listen, you are communicating two things: one, that the person speaking has value, and two, that you want to add value to them.
2. Be Quick to Laugh — Nothing helps a person more than someone willing to share a laugh in times of stress, or times of trouble, or times of joy. That's because laughter creates positivity. And positivity is essential for anyone trying to grow. After all, personal growth often comes with mistakes, bumps, and bruises, so it's especially helpful when we have someone to help us laugh our way through the rough patches.
3. Be Quick to Encourage — It's important to remember that we often see positive things in others that they don't see in themselves. They may suspect these truths, but to have someone else come along and honestly point them out is a difference maker in ways we can't imagine. When someone else sees and says the truth about who someone is capable of being, it goes a long way toward encouraging them to grow into that potential.

Cat lovers are invited to go along and support the Bluebell Ridge Cat Rehoming Centre at their Open Day this Sunday (May 24) 11.30-3pm.
This free event, at Chowns Hill, Hastings, is billed as a great family day out and visitors will have the chance to meet the cats at the centre and see the valuable work undertaken there. Funds raised on the day will go towards the animals in the centre's care.
There will be a host of activities to keep cat lovers and children busy, including a chance to talk to knowledgeable volunteers and meet the cats. There will also be a variety of stalls, including crafts, games, homemade cakes and refreshments.
The day is aimed to be fun for all who attend with a raffle and tombola with great prizes to be won.
A Bach flower remedies practitioner will give consultations to pets and owners in return for a small donation to assist the cattery's work.
Myra Grove, Cattery Manager for Bluebell Ridge said: "We always look forward to opening our doors to the public on our open days as it's a chance for people to have fun while meeting some of the cats that we care for. We'd love as many people as possible to come along and support our work."
Money raised on the day will go towards helping cats like six-month old kittens Jasper and Bella who, after a lot of love and care, found their forever home with lovely people who have helped them to enjoy life again.
Bluebell Ridge is owned and operated by the Sussex East and Hastings branch of the RSPCA and is entirely self-financing. Each year the branch has to raise over £150,000 and relies on the support of the public to continue its vital work.

How to look young in our 70s
I've now published this post on my Wordpress blog, which is taking over from Old Lady Laughing. https://bonusyears.wordpress.com/2016/01/19/how-to-look-young-in-our-70s/
Necessity is the mother of invention..........................ReplyDelete
Couldn't agree with you more about standing straight and walking with a bounce in your step. Not sure if it makes you look younger (in my late 40s I'm beginning to think I do look my age) but it makes me feel confident.
I think it probably makes me look taller than 1.63m (5.4')too. A few people have been surprised when they hear I'm only that tall - it's a below average height I think.
Love your comment! And I took forever to reply. Blogspot does not inform me when people comment. So I'm switching to Wordpress. Sorry!Delete
You are an amazing and inspiring woman. Your technic are simple and doable but give an amazing result. Your advice is so true and make a lot of sense. So Thank you.ReplyDelete
You are living proof that life begins after 70......ReplyDelete
Wonderful article. I'm bubbly by nature and people think I'm much younger (I also wear blusher and natural lipstick and pretend I'm not wearing any - naughty me)ReplyDelete
How come I've never noticed these comments until now? Thank you everyone for your responses: I'm tickled pink to read them.ReplyDelete
Not trying to sound conceited or anything but I also have lucky genes. My Mom is 84 and looks 60. I hope when I'm 70 and 84 I can be like you and my Mom because you both look like you can still turn heads. Just want to feel like "I still got it going on". Well, hope that's what some people think anyway. Just a small portion of vanity hopefully that tiny ingredient is okay.
A small portion of vanity could well be self-esteem by another name. And this is highly desirable at any age.Delete

The stopgap budget proposed by House Democrats last week amounts to offering crumbs to a person who hasn't eaten for a week. While it might momentarily ease hunger pains, it would not provide the stability needed to get that person fed daily.
The latest "act" in our legislature's political theater was the House on Thursday approving 64-45-1 a stopgap budget along party lines that proposes providing $800 million to human service programs and higher education. The money would come from two special state funds that receive a small part of income tax receipts; the money in these funds can't be spent until the General Assembly authorizes it.
The funds are expected to have more than $800 million in them by the end of the fiscal year in June, and the proposed House bill would dole out $258 million to social-service programs and $559 million for higher education. Chief sponsor Rep. Greg Harris, D-Chicago, called the bill a "lifeline" budget.
It's true that human services and higher education institutions desperately need funding. The lack of a spending plan has led to Northeastern Illinois University cutting three days of instruction. Eastern Illinois is considering axing academic programs, and Western Illinois has laid off more than 100 instructors. A March survey of human service agencies done by the United Way of Illinois found that 69 percent of agencies had received no or only partial payment for state services delivered in fiscal year 2017. That's up from 35 percent last fiscal year.
The damage is only going to get worse, and could become irreversible. But passing a stopgap budget now would only provide the help needed yesterday, while leaving providers worried about tomorrow. And it would remove pressure to pass a full, permanent state budget, a constitutional obligation that hasn't happened for nearly two years now. We repeat: nearly two years.
Even social service providers say a full budget is needed. The Illinois Partners for Human Service called the stopgap "a very thin lifeline." Executive Director Judith Gethner said the proposal would offer to "pay pennies on services already provided" and while some money would be better than no money, "we want to see evidence of bipartisan discussions to pass a comprehensive budget because this stopgap bill does not provide enough money to even keep current programs open."
Illinois needs the stability a full-year budget would provide. And yet the key to getting a budget is bipartisan input and support; Thursday's vote indicates the stopgap doesn't have it. If by some legislative miracle the Senate did pass it, the governor will veto it. Given Thursday's vote, House Speaker Michael Madigan does not have the votes to override it.
Gov. Bruce Rauner reiterated Wednesday — in a video where he denounced the stopgap measure before it was even introduced — that he wants an actual budget.
"Instead of focusing on stopgaps that serve the Springfield insiders, we should be coming together to pass real and lasting solutions to our problems — a truly balanced budget, job creation, a property tax freeze, spending caps, term limits and pension reform," Rauner said.
Illinois must have a real budget and substantive structural reforms to help it step away from the quicksand it's been using for its financial footing. And progress was happening under Senate President John Cullerton's and Senate Minority Leader Christine Radogno's Grand Bargain budget compromise, which had been chugging along until Rauner's concerns about aspects of it derailed its momentum. The Grand Bargain has never been perfect, but it is an honest-to-God attempt by Cullerton and Radogno to do right by the state's residents.
The governor needs to be personally negotiating on a deal. Given that lawmakers have the next two weeks off — not that they've actually accomplished anything so far — there's plenty of time for him to work through his differences with Cullerton and Radogno.
The Senate could consider the stopgap budget when they return the week of April 24. But it would be better if instead they voted on an updated Grand Bargain — because the stopgap would fall to the wayside as pressure shifted to the House and Madigan to get on board with approving a real budget.

Jennifer Khatchatrian spends much of her free time with her young sons, Chaz and Jack. She has this time to spare because of her team from Sparkle Queen.
"My son, Jack, is allergic to a lot of things. I'm allergic to mold and he has asthma," said Khatchatrian. "So, we basically wanted to get a cleaning company that used cleaning products that were not only safe for your finishes, but we wanted products that were environmentally friendly."
Sparkle Queen home cleaning service only uses products made with natural and bio-degradable ingredients. But when Hillary Thieling started the company in 2003, that was not the case. She turned to green products out of necessity.
"Just working with the products that people gave me, I would feel sick and immediately I said 'No, I can't do this,'" said Thieling. "My people aren't going to do this all day, and I can't even handle this."
While most of her customers seem happy with the switch, she says the move also caused her to lose a few clients.
"We do refuse to use the bleach... and that is pretty much the only thing that's gonna whiten up some mildew or mold in your shower," said Thieling. This caused the company to lose some clients.
That's not the only change Thieling has had to explain to clients.
"One of the funny things that we hear is there's no smell. And we say, 'Yeah, well, clean has no smell,'" said Thieling.
For the Khatchatrians, preventing Jack's asthma is a welcomed benefit.
"It's our culture to want things to smell Pine-Sol clean or want them to smell a certain way or think that they're not clean if they don't smell like a typical bleach or a detergent," said Khatchatrian. "Right now, what is a preference eventually will be a lifestyle that people choose."
The company also has phased out paper towels and only uses cloth towels which, of course, can be used again and again.

ROCK HILL, S.C. - This Halloween, Winthrop will face the "Curse of the Creole."
The Arts Ball 2010: "Curse of the Creole" begins Oct. 29 at 7:30 p.m. in Byrnes Auditorium. This year's spooky, creative event will raise funds for Louisiana schools affected by Hurricane Katrina. Mardi Gras masks, rings, beads and more will be sold for $1 and $2 at the door. All proceeds will benefit these schools, which lost art supplies, musical instruments, dance floors and more.
For those who come dressed in regular clothing, the Mardi Gras accessories offer ready-made festive Halloween costumes.
The ball is designed to blend a Mardi Gras theme with HBO's hit TV show "True Blood," said Jill O'Neill, flute instructor and creator of the event. There will be vampires and werewolves, as well as townspeople preparing excitedly for Mardi Gras. Angered by the festivities, the local witch doctor – who loathes Mardi Gras – conspires to use voodoo and stir up a hurricane that will ruin the event.
"Curse of the Creole" will feature performances by the Winthrop Brass Ensembles, the Flute Choir and more, as well as three dance performances to the theme song of "True Blood," Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" and Godsmack's "Voodoo." Theatre and dance students will write the dialogue for the witch doctor and weatherman's performances, build the sets and design lighting.
Junior art major Courtney Niskala designed the poster for this year's ball.
Admission to Arts Ball 2010: "Curse of the Creole" is free and open to the public, and the ball is an approved cultural event for students. The event is planned, produced and performed by students in O'Neill's "Special Topics in Interdisciplinary Arts Production and Performance" class.
Contact O'Neill at 803/323-3797 or email@example.com for more information about the Oct. 29 event.

Director Tarsem Singh has had a good track record in recent years with Mirror Mirror and Immortals, both of which received average reviews but performed relatively well at the box office. The director has a distinct visual style that can be traced back to his original feature film debut, a cerebral sci-fi called The Cell, in which Jennifer Lopez played a child psychologist agent who uses technology to enter a shared dream state with a serial killer.
Singh seems to be comfortable directing sci-fi and fantasy movies where he can let his imagination run wild and into the weirdest places, and is already attached to another sci-fi feature called Selfless, about an elderly man (Ryan Reynolds) whose mind is transplanted into a younger body. Selfless will be out in fall 2014, but the director is already making plans for his next movie after that.
The Wrap reports that Tarsem Singh is now set to direct The Panopticon, a sci-fi action thriller from production company Good Universe and producer Andrew Lazar (Jonah Hex). The script was written by Craig Rosenberg (The Uninvited) and tells the story of an ordinary man who one day receives a mysterious package containing a pre-recorded message from himself and a warning that the world will end if he doesn't act quickly to prevent it.
It's difficult to be sure from this brief synopsis how Singh's movie might derive from the idea of a Panopticon. The name refers to an architectural structure for prisons and other disciplinary institutions that was designed by philosopher Jeremy Bentham in the late 18th century. The Panopticon would, theoretically, have a central observations tower where the jailor would reside, and the cells would be arranged in a peripheric ring. This way it would be possible to observe each of the inmates from the central tower without them being able to know for sure whether they were being watched or not.
The Panopticon is perhaps better known as one of the subjects of Michel Foucault's 1975 book "Discipline and Punish," in which he used the proposed architecture of the prison as a model for describing methods of observation within both modern disciplinary institutions and society at large. According to Foucault's theory, an awareness of being permanently observed "automatizes and disindividualizes power," so that subjects within a metaphorical Panopticon police their own behaviour. This is the reason why, for example, 'CCTV in operation' signs are an effective crime deterrent.
If Singh does move straight on to The Panopticon after completing Selfless, it will likely hit theaters in 2015/2016. First, however, it has to traverse the rocky path from development to production and avoid the pitfalls into development hell along the way.
Will you be keeping your eye on The Panopticon, or would you rather look elsewhere for your sci-fi fix? Tell us what you think of this pitch in the comments.
The Panopticon doesn't have a release date, but we'll keep you updated on any further developments.

- Resign Abreu to a multi-year deal and move Nady or Damon to first base. Giambi leaves.
- Sign Mark Texiera to a long term deal. Both Giambi and Abreu leave.
- Resign Giambi to a short one or two year deal for a discount. Abreu leaves.
Keep in mind this is all assuming we don't magically pull off a trade. I didn't list this because of its unlikeliness and also because its impossible to predict what we would give up.
I`m leaning towards the third one.
I don't want Abreu back. First of all, he`s a big defensive liability and he would force somebody to play out of position at first base. Believe it or not Giambi would probably be a better fielder at first then Nady or Damon. More importantly though I think Giambi is a better hitter than Abreu. EQA (which takes into account pretty much every offensive stat) has Giambi ahead over the past three years. Giambi beats Abreu in 2008 and 2006. As an added bonus Abreu will be a type A free agent while Giambi will only be a type B.
Although Texiera would fill the first base spot perfectly I would stay away from him. He`s looking for a ten year deal. In my opinion their are very few guys in baseball who are worth that. They need to focus as much money as possible on Sabathia. It would be great to have him but at what cost?
At the start of this year I was looking forward to Giambi being gone. However, he`s been one of the few guys on this team that actually hit. They can get him on a one or two year deal and he wants to be back so they may get him on a discount.

Our Essentials of Islam Course started this week with approximately 100 local people attending the first session taught by Ustadh Bilal Anwar covering the fiqh module. The Ustadh covered the reasons why Fiqh is so important and outlining why we believe in the legal rulings as laid down by the great scholars of the past.
Over the course we will cover all the mandatory knowledge a Muslim should know in the Essential core subjects of Aqidah (Theology), Fiqh (Essential Legal Rulings), Spirituality and Seerah (the life of the Prophet, peace and blessings upon him). The remaining sessions will continue to take place on Tuesday Nights at 7pm with the course expected to finish just before Ramadan inshaAllah.

Actor Anwan Glover, who appeared in the film "12 Years a Slave"and the TV series "The Wire," was stabbed and beaten at a D.C. nightclub early Sunday morning.
Glover told police that he was on the second floor of the restaurant Cafe Asia when an unknown person punched him. He turned to face his assailant, and another person hit him on the back of the head, causing him to slip on the wet floor, he told police. Glover said that after he had been kicked multiple times, he heard a voice shout, "He has a knife," and felt a sharp pain in his right side.
Officer Paul Metcalf, a D.C. police spokesman, confirmed the attack to TheWrap. He said the victim was treated for a laceration on the right side of his torso at George Washington University Hospital. There was no update on his condition Sunday morning.

Let's come to my story, It was our final day in college. I am in love with my long time friend Shruthi. She is a very typical person, always loves unique movies, books, places, things, etc. So, I decide to propose in a unique way. Well, when it comes to the proposal; there are various ways to sweep our partner's feet, but finding a unique one was quite hard. I was just thinking about this when she enters our class. She looks awesome in her green salwar kameez. Since, it was our last day; everyone exchanges slam book. She gives me her pink book, I flip it through some pages where many guys wrote about her. I start filling the form one by one and pause it for the last query. The question asked was "What do you think about MYSELF? (go on, spell out everything)" I fill my answer and gave it to her with a smile.
Shruthi takes the book along with her in a private place. She urges to my page, when reading it a few drops of tears dwells from her eyelids. She weeps with happiness covering her mouth in hand. My answer to the question was "You are the best thing that happened in my life. I always need you to scold me, teach me, guide me, inspire me, like me, love me. Will you marry(be with me always) me ?" I reach that place standing next to her. She hugs me and plants the first kiss of my life. My beautiful life starts on this day and it got better after our marriage.

Final Product
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Men
This homemade costume for men entered our 2013 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Sid, the 'Piccolo from Dragon Ball Z' costume creator:
I have been a fan of the TV show "Dragon Ball Z" since I was probably six years old. So naturally I chose to be one of the coolest characters, Piccolo. My family always got into Halloween every year and we've participated in many costume contests, parades, and camp outs. My younger brother started watching the show so I wanted to impress him and the rest of my family and friends with a cool costume.
I have been planning the costume since the Summer of 2013, trying to map out exactly how I would carry out each of his complex features. I researched and gathered the best methods of costume DIY creation to figure out how I would apply them to my own idea. I purchased a block of clay and molding tools and then began to shape the molds of his antennas, ears, eyebrows, arm tissue, and arm bubble tissue. As I finished the molds, I baked the clay in the oven to make it hard. From this point, I had to get my hands on some liquid latex. Since I'm a college student without a car in Philadelphia I had to call and bike all around Philly trying to find a store that sold it. I couldn't find exactly what I needed, so I took a chance on some liquid latex body paint from a local adult sex shop. I applied the latex in layers to each clay mold and then once it was thick enough, I applied baby powder so the latex would not stick together. Meanwhile I ordered a bald cap, clear liquid latex, body paint, and borrowed some acrylic paints and paint brushes from my father and my roommate. After all of the latex molds were complete I began to apply a base coat to each latex prosthetic. Then I applied a final coat accordingly. I made several trips to Chinatown so that I could find clothing for my character, and then a trip to the fabric store to buy material for his sash. On the night of my parents' annual Halloween Party, I had my father help me apply the bald cap and body paint to the parts of my head I could not see. I spent hours applying the prosthetics with spirit gum and liquid latex, one prosthetic at a time. I used a blowdryer to speed up the drying process. Once I had all of the prosthetics applied, I put a coat of Mehron's green face and body paint all over my face, neck, chest, as wells as the prosthetics on my face and arms. Then I attached the pink bubble-like tissue to the arm prosthetic. Finally I suited up with my Dragon top, purple bottom, and sash. The make-up production process took around 5 hours. I would have liked to spend more time but since I had locked myself away in the bathroom, and the party was 3 hours deep, I had to speed up the process because people were becoming impatient... I would recommend using liquid latex remover and spirit gum remover to remove prosthetics. I decided to rough it, but not everyone may like the results of that option.
When I first walked into the garage (where the party was taking place), everyone stopped and stared at me. My family and the friends I had grown up with didn't know who I was. There were countless flashes of cameras all around and people became very excited. My dad, who has been making elaborate costumes for years was very impressed at the amount of work I put into it, and more importantly, the result. Everyone thought my transformation was crazy and hilarious because I looked almost completely different (Most people are used to seeing me with long hair and weren't expecting a bald and green alien character). Most of my close family members had a hard time having a conversation with me, because they thought it was too surreal or bizarre. That's how I know I succeeded.
I plan to take this costume to some college Halloween parties on Halloween night so that others can reminisce of their Dragon Ball Z days. I am really proud of how this costume turned out and I wish Halloween happened more than one month out of the year. I spent a lot of money and time on this project and as a college student I'm excited try to win back some of the money I spent. Most importantly, I'm excited to see how I stack up against the other great costumes submitted to this contest! Thank you for the opportunity!

Criterion first made the work of Japanese oddball Seijun Suzuki available to a wider audience with the laserdisc (and later, DVD) release of Tokyo Drifter and Branded To Kill, two of Suzuki's flashier genre mash-ups, which cut up gangster clichés with Jean-Luc Godard-esque anarchy. Criterion has continued to revive Suzuki's '60s films, with the release last year of Youth Of The Beast and the profoundly touching Fighting Elegy, and now with the first two parts of the director's "prostitution trilogy," Gate Of Flesh and Story Of A Prostitute. All four of those films feature some of the wild style and blazing imagery of Tokyo Drifter and Branded To Kill, but strangely, the more conventional work has been just as revelatory as the way-out Suzukis.
The lurid 1964 melodrama Gate Of Flesh splits the difference between staid and nutty. In post-World War II Japan, a group of prostitutes eschew pimps, banding together in a bombed-out house in a nightmarish red-light district. The one rule: never give away what somebody will pay for. If any of the housemates break that rule, they get stripped and whipped. Then local tough guy Jo Shishido turns up on their doorstep, boasting about how he shanked an American soldier, and the ladies take him in as their protector and lust object. For the most part, Gate Of Flesh is just an excuse to show scantily clad women undergoing various physical and emotional tortures, but the skimpy plot gives Suzuki room to skewer his homeland's postwar pandering. (In one memorable scene, people in the street line up for "American stew," which is laced with used condoms.) He also gets to play with color and light, primarily by giving the women distinct monochrome wardrobes and arranging them on a bare-lit soundstage where he can spin the camera—or sets—at will. By the final matching shot of a Japanese flag in a gutter and an American flag flapping proudly, Suzuki has made his punchy little exploitation film into a study of exploitation itself.
The following year's Story Of A Prostitute is a much classier affair, shot in finely shaded black and white with sudden shifts to stark contrast. Yumiko Nogawa plays a jilted lover who volunteers to be a "comfort woman" on the Manchurian front, where she quickly falls in love with Tamio Kawaji, even though she's still expected to sleep with all of his comrades and commanders. There's less visual flash to Story Of A Prostitute—though a long tracking shot of Nogawa running across a battlefield is justly famous—but the movie is every bit as pointed as Gate Of Flesh, especially once Nogawa and Kawaji's love story enters a metaphysical realm to rival Robert Bresson or Lars von Trier. While the two are joined together under a flesh-colored blanket, the insane military bureaucracy outside doesn't matter so much. It continues to matter to Suzuki, though. He openly criticizes the Japanese fascination with sacrifice in an ironic conclusion that—on the comprehensive featurette that accompanies the Criterion DVD—causes a sympathetic film critic to choke up, overwhelmed by the director's direct appeal to his countrymen's repressed emotions.

Brian Guadagno is a Rhode Island native, who has been an ocean lifeguard for 20 years in Narragansett Beach. He is the CEO and founder of , an up-and-coming all-natural sunscreen brand. He embraces a natural and healthy lifestyle through yoga and staying fit and is rarely seen without his rad sidekick Doc, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
Through his experience as a lifeguard, being under the hot summer sun, sunscreen was a necessity. Before creating , he tried every sunscreen available, but was very dissatisfied with the use of chemical sunscreens. After making the switch to natural sunscreens, Brian discovered a need for a 外汇开户 brand and a product that could effectively crossover and resonate with both natural and active consumers alike. Alas, was created in 2009 and officially launched in 2012, allowing him an outlet to find new and creative ways to communicate, educate, inspire and ultimately connect with his consumers.
Gain some valuable insight about inner strength from our exclusive interview with Raw Elements founder, Brian Guadagno:
1. Define Strength: inner and outer.
Inner strength to me is really defined by knowing our own capacities and limitations. If we have clear knowledge of our outer edge, then we can begin exercises to build on our strength. Outer strength, or physical strength, to me is an extension of our inner strength manifested in our physical body.
2. Do you believe there is a correlation between inner and outer strength?
Absolutely, the stronger the mind and soul are, the stronger our body will be.
3. What fuels/drives your inner strength?
Taking inspiration from others, identifying personal areas needing growth and support of friends and family sure do.
4. What specific instance/event/road block in your life has caused you to call upon your inner strength?
I believe we are challenged daily and have to call upon our inner strength. I'd say, for me, building on the strength of patience is an area I find challenging. This can be felt in simple day-to-day activities or in greater situations.
5. How has your inner strength shaped the person you are today?
Well, it's an ever-evolving process. Having the support of family and friends throughout my life, in all areas, has been the foundation of inner strength throughout my early years.
6. What advice can you give others who are struggling to find their inner strength?
I'd say in the last handful of years yoga has really been the outlet that has fostered the correlation for me between inner and outer strength. I strongly advise others to engage in this practice of personal growth.
7. Who/what helps you to keep a positive outlook/attitude?
Deepak Chopra and my great yoga instructors.

I don't know about you, but sometimes I struggle to stay up to date on current trends. You know…fashion, music, social media…stuff the "kids" are doing. Of course being in LA, it's not much of a stretch to find women (of a certain age) wearing super short dresses, funky colored hair and super perky huge tits like their 20 something counterparts – but they definitely don't look like their far younger sisters (who wear all those things much better). So it's a struggle, for me, to look like I'm not stuck back in the pre-historic ages without looking ridiculous.
Sure I've fully embraced (and mostly been embraced by the community) food blogging, H & M (within reason) and Twitter. But it seems like I completely missed the boat on planking. Not that I feel all that left out. I mean, most days I have a hard enough time taking pictures of the food that I post up here, let alone trying to put myself into some convoluted position that will amaze and impress anyone (beyond my doctor) and then have to take a picture of it. But this "stocking" thing I can handle. What's stocking you ask? Could it be that I've picked up a trend before it's hit its downward slide? Doubtful. Just humor me.My attempt at stocking
Stocking is simply the art of copying a picture that you find on iStockphoto. Voilà! My chocolate syrup stocking. Just call me one of the kids.
Speaking of relevance….I thought I'd share my blueberry syrup recipe with you, so you can have a bit of summer in your refrigerator well into those frigid winter months that are coming our way. The typical blueberry syrup recipe contains quite a bit of sugar in it, that I think dilutes the berry flavor too much. This recipe is lighter on the sugar (it actually uses maple syrup instead) and uses a couple of other ingredients to help boost the blueberry flavor.
Believe it or not, cinnamon boosts the flavors of blueberries…so this berry syrup contains the surprising ingredient of cinnamon.What's left of my blueberry syrup
This homemade syrup is probably a little thinner than the typical fruit syrup is – mostly due to the lack of sugar, but don't let that discourage you from making this. You won't believe how blueberryish (yep, making up words again) this berry syrup is. In fact, after you try homemade syrup for the first time, you'll never want to go back to that store bought stuff anymore.
Of course, if when you run out of this yummy berry syrup, you can make this from frozen berries too. I actually used frozen berries from last season to make this recipe. I needed to make room for the new crop.
BTW…you can use this fruit syrup in lemonade, over your pancakes, in a smoothie, in a milkshake, for mixed drinks or just about anywhere you'd normally use a syrup.
Relationship Advice
What are you, a wuss? AKA Stop being such a pussy!
Yes, I'm talking to you ↑ you ↓ you ← and you →. Just stop it already.
You want to be successful in your job, your relationships, finding a girl/guy, your life? Then quit being such a whiny ass baby. Really, it's about as easy as that. If you think you're giving it your all, I bet you're not. If you were, you'd be where you want to be.
We've all got our teetering edge…that place that we're afraid to go to because we fear what will happen when we move off of that edge. Will we soar like an eagle (gah – so cliche) or will we fall on our face in front of absolutely everyone and totally embarrass ourselves? Some people thrive on that thrill (successful people) and some cringe at the thought.
Really think about this – What are you afraid of?
Will you lose everything and everyone in your life?
Will people laugh at you?
Will you offend someone?
My guess is that none of those things will happen to you if you are pursuing what you really want to do. And for the record, if you offend someone…that just means that they are paying attention to you – which is a good thing.
So quit being such a baby about being successful and get out there and go for it. The worse thing that will happen is that you'll fall down and bruise your ego a little bit. Big deal! Get out there with your big girl/boy britches on go after whatever it is that you are trying to succeed in.
Recipe: Blueberry Syrup
- 1 Cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 Cup Water
- 3 Tablespoons Maple Syrup (grade B)
- Juice from 1/2 of Lemon
- Lemon Peel from 1/2 Lemon (without pith)
- 1/2 Cinnamon Stick
- In a blender, puree the blueberries, water and maple syrup.
- Pour the blueberry puree into a medium size saucepan and add the cinnamon stick and lemon peel.
- Heat over medium heat until thickened. Stir mixture occasionally.
- Add in the lemon juice once the puree has thickened.
- Pour thickened puree into a strainer, that's been placed over a container that can be sealed.
- Strain the puree. You will need to use a spatula or spoon to brush the solids back and forth to get all of the syrup strained.
- Throw away the solids and let the syrup cool.
- Once it's cooled, you can cover and refrigerate or pour it into nice bottles that should then be covered and refrigerated.
This syrup is not going to be thick like a traditional syrup because it does not contain the amount of sugar you would normally find in them. While it's cooking though, you will notice it thickening slightly.
To peel lemons without getting the bitter pith (that's the white stuff just below the peel, before you get to the fruit), just use a vegetable peeler. If you happen to get a chunk of pith stuck to some of your peels, simply use a table knife to gently scrape off the offending white stuff.

Office 365 License Usage Reporting - 2018 update
Build a bot in less than 10 minutes - a Modality Labs Christmas special
2017 has been a big year for bot development. From chat bots to 'super bots', it's an exciting time for technology and the potential it has to support and enhance day-to-day activities.
In the lead up to Christmas, we thought it would be fun to show you how to create your own bot using Microsoft's QnA Maker. This turns FAQ pages into interactive bots, which can then be accessed on collaboration platforms such as Skype for Business and Microsoft Teams.
Watch the video to start creating your bot now, with Tom Morgan – Product Innovation Architect at Modality Systems (and bot-building enthusiast!).
Skype for Business Virtual Healthcare Templates
Microsoft recently released a set of open source code, enabling remote-advisor capabilities using Skype for Business and Office 365 and with a particular focus on healthcare and telemedicine. Using these virtual health templates, Senior Development Consultant Tom Morgan has produced a working demo that can be easily integrated with your business' existing tenant.
Powered by Azure and Office 365, you can now book a meeting online using the Office 365 Virtual Health Templates dashboard. We are excited about the possibilities this offers the Health sector.
Contact us to try it out for yourself! We look forward to your feedback and to further development on this new Skype for Business solution.
"How can our business better understand how software licenses are assigned in Office 365?"
This is a question frequently asked by our customers. Through visual analytics using Power BI we are in the process of developing a new transparent solution. In our latest vlog, Tom Arbuthnot (Principal Solutions Architect at Modality Systems) and Tom Morgan (Senior Development Consultant at Modality Systems) explain how this project could provide invaluable data for your organisation, through rich and easily assimilated visuals – saving time and cutting costs. Watch our short demonstration for more.
If you are interested in this solution and would like more information contact us to start the conversation.
Project Focus - Project Fossa
For an IT professional managing license usage and costs can be a headache. It can be hard to answer questions about capacity and usage and even harder to provide accurate information about departmental or office use. There are other complications as well: service accounts, testing accounts, demo accounts, development accounts: all these accounts use licenses which need to be planned, budgeted and accounted for.
In Office 365, license usage is displayed in the Admin Center. Each valid license is displayed along with information about total number of licenses, expired licenses and assigned licenses. However, this does not provide information about who is using which licenses, which departments in an organisation are using the most licenses and what the license cost to the organisation is.
Project Fossa addresses this by taking data from additional sources and presenting it alongside license details in order to provide more context to your license usage.
How it works
Project Fossa can tell you how many licenses are used per person, per department, office, state or country. If you provide licence costs, then Project Fossa will calculate the license cost for each of these categories. Project Fossa allows IT administrators to communicate how licenses are being used across the organisation and what the true license cost of departments and initiatives is. By highlighting users which have been de-activated (such as those who have left the organisation) but which are still consuming licenses Project Fossa can help organisations save money by reusing licenses which are no longer needed.
Project Fossa is offered as a light-touch Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution. There's nothing to install on premise. Simply provide us with a service account and we can do the rest remotely. Reports are provided via PowerBi.com, hosted on your tenant. Data rests in an Azure SQL Server hosted on your tenant. You own the data and control access to it.
Key Benefits
- Greater visibility of license usage across the organisation
- Accurate reporting of license costs by function
- Ability to internally re-charge license usage to departments or countries
- Potential cost savings in highlighting licenses used by deactivated users
Try it Today
You can try out a working demo of this solution using anonymised data by going to labs.modalitysystems.com/projects/project-fossa and using the embedded PowerBI application. Or get in touch for a demo session for a full walk through and to answer any questions.

Pathogen control for feed contamination has never been more important to the biosecurity of our food sources. There are a growing number of scientific studies which strongly suggest infected feed and feed ingredients are risk factors for the spread of animal diseases at both the domestic and global levels. Salmonella control in feed is of particular concern for poultry producers and animal feed manufacturers; therefore, Kemin has worked to develop effective pathogen control products to reduce the incidence of Salmonella introduction.
It's important to control microbial contaminants to maintain a safe food chain supply. Pathogen control program examples may include:
Sal CURB® is an antimicrobial agent made from a blend of aqueous formaldehyde and organic acids. It is used as a Salmonella control in feed or feed ingredients to keep products Salmonella-negative for up to 21 days.
The effective use of Sal CURB as a Salmonella control in feed starts with the application process. Kemin engineers work with producers to determine the proper location and method of application. Together, Kemin works with you to find the most efficient distribution of Sal CURB in your feed or feed ingredients. In the Kemin trial below, the pelleted feed treated with Sal CURB was contaminated with Salmonella seven days post-treatment. This Sal CURB treatment at 6.5 pounds per ton was able to maintain the Salmonella-negative status of the feed.
|Pre Inoculation
|Post Inoculation
|0.0 lb per ton Sal CURB
|6.5 lb per ton Sal CURB
*Inoculated with 104 dilution of Salmonella enteritidis culture for a final concentration in the feed of 102.
The accurate application of Sal CURB allows treatment to work as a critical pathogen control in feed. That is why Kemin also developed the Extra-SURE™ application and reporting system to apply the correct, programmed inclusion amount. The follow-up report then verifies the accuracy for added reassurance. Extra-SURE monitors a three-step system:
The benefits of using Sal CURB as a pathogen control for feed contamination are easily seen when researching the impact Salmonella already has on the food industry. It is known that all types of animals can be carriers of Salmonella. Though it normally lives in the intestinal tracts of humans and animals, Salmonella is widely found in nature as it is able to survive for long periods of time on material containing very low levels of moisture. Salmonella can cause mortality in birds of any age, with broiler parents and brown-shell egg layers especially susceptible. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Salmonella causes over 1.2 million illnesses, 23,000 hospitalizations, 450 deaths and an estimated $365 million in direct medical costs in the United States per year.1
Since earning the prestigious Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) recognition at its Des Moines, Iowa, manufacturing facility in February 2013, Kemin Industries remains a leader in the production of safe, quality ingredients. Kemin also received the 22000 Food Safety System Certification in 2013, recognized by GFSI, which is accepted by food manufacturers worldwide. These recognitions and certifications reinforce the company's investment in human and financial capital to enhance existing conditions and processes, verifying its products are safe, efficient and effective until they reach the end consumer.
