Choosing the best Kootenay Wedding and Family Photographer for you
This time of year is one of my favourites. Not just because I get to see people I don't usually see, or enjoy foods I don't normally eat, or go on adventures the weather and time don't usually allow, but because I get to go through all of the photos I've made with my awesome clients. My clients are the people who push me to be the best British Columbia wedding and family photographer I can possibly be. And in choosing my favourite photos from 2019, I get to re-live all these moments all over again. And that's what photos are for!
My Favourite 2019 BRITISH COLUMBIA WEDDING PHOTOS
As a documentary wedding and family photographer, my photos are generally candid and unstaged. I rarely tell people what to do because they rarely know I'm making a photo of them. However, during portraits, I give lots of direction so everyone is comfortable and able to be themselves. Rarely do I make anyone look at the camera, and always do I make people feel good about the photos we're making. In celebration of the relationship between my client and I, the following five photos are my favourite portraits from the year.
My Favourite 2019 KOOTENAY WEDDING DETAILS
As a documentary wedding and family photographer, the details photos I make are generally in the moment. I tend not to set things up and would rather make photos of people using the details, rather than the detail by itself. When details have context, they tell more of your story. The following six photos are my favourite details photos from the year.
My Favourite 2019 KOOTENAY WEDDING PARTY PHOTOS
As a documentary wedding and family photographer, the wedding party photos are a fun time to get everyone interacting, so I can make lots of in the moment photos that show their personalities. I tend to set up scenarios and make them do funny word games, which really brings out peoples' relationships. They're always tons of fun. The following three photos are my favourite wedding party photos from the year.
My Favourite 2019 KOOTENAY WEDDING RECEPTION PHOTOS
As a documentary wedding and family photographer, the wedding reception is FULL of everything I look for throughout the day: symmetry, emotion, details, personalities, and all the feelings. By the time the dance floor gets rolling, everyone has forgotten that I'm there, and nearly every one is ready to cut loose. This is also when the most unbridled excitement happens. Where the rest of the day tends to be happy tears, the dance floor is full of silly, skill and smiles. The following eight wedding reception photos are my favourite from the year.
My Favourite 2019 KOOTENAY ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS
The engagement session is less about getting your photo taken than it is about us getting comfortable with one another. These sessions are integral for me as a wedding photographer. In order to shoot documentary photography the way I do, these sessions give you a sense of how I work, and what it's like to be around a camera. Plus, we get to go somewhere we won't have time or access to get to during your wedding. The following are my favourite seven engagement photos from the year.
My Favourite 2019 DOCUMENTARY FAMILY PHOTOS
As a documentary family photographer, we spend our time doing things that you enjoy doing together. The purpose for me during that activity is to find creative ways to illustrate your relationships and your personalities, as well as your environment and your values. I love family photography because I always leave the session with a feeling of hope. Families are simply doing their best, all the time. It's vulnerable to have your photo taken. But for those who have photos of their childhood to look back on, those people have an infinitely important gift: a portal to their family history. I think it's so important to be photographed, to see your life and your emotions through someone else's eyes. I guarantee you the honest beauty of you interacting with your kids is one of the longest lasting gifts you can give them.
The following photos are my favourites among all the awesome families who shared their days with me.
The following five photos are from a Day in the Life family photography session on Alex's graduation day. Each image shows a bit of who he and his family are. In order: Alex wrestling with his cousin, Alex getting his tie put on with the help of his family (a ritual for men on special occasions), Alex having a group photo made as their female friends tell them where to stand, Alex having a pizza break with his boys in the change room where they met playing hockey, and finally, Alex and his friends in the cavalcade that goes through town in honour of the Nelson BC 2019 Graduation class.
It's nearly impossible to choose the best Kootenay wedding and family photographer. "The Best" is purely subjective. But I do hope that in describing why these photos are my favourite, they can help you decide whether I'd be the best wedding and family photographer for you. If immortalizing your family history is important to you, or you simply like artful and purposeful photos of people you love, please get in touch with me here. I'm so looking forward to meeting you.

Shop this Fall Look:
Last week, I got offered a collaboration with a dream brand. I was over the moon: this brand is a major retailer that I've been shopping at for the past 20+ years, and I'm even a cardholder at said retailer. You've seen me organically mention them dozens of times over the past couple of years, and I'm so excited to finally have the opportunity to work with them. I've had several "pinch-me" moments throughout my blogging career, but this brand is special to me!
A few hours after I landed my dream collab? I was curled up in a fetal position, bawling my eyes out, feeling like an absolute failure. Instead of being proud of myself for all the "dream collabs" I've landed to date, I picked myself apart and felt like a fraud. As if I didn't deserve any of the projects that I've landed to date.

Class four students of the Belmont Primary School are being asked to report to school tomorrow, Wednesday, September 18th.
All other students, however, are to await instructions from the Ministry of Education about their return to school.
This is the latest information coming from the Ministry of Education, Technological and Vocational Training.
According to a release from the Government Information Service Minister Santia Bradshaw has visited the school which closed early on Monday, due to complaints from teachers and students about a strong paint odour on the compound.
She's announced that the students will be greeted by a new prefab bathroom facility and other improvements when they return to school next week.
The school was one of 41 schools renovated under the Ministry's Schools
Summer Programme, this year.
One of the upgrades at Belmont Primary was repairs to the bathroom facilities.
And, one of the main areas of concern, the minister pointed out, was the girls' bathroom, which had no partitions to separate the toilets.
Ms. Bradshaw says given the urgency to get the students back into school, they are going to have the contractor construct a prefab next to the existing bathroom and install the toilets by Saturday at the latest.

It's that time of year!!! Which means it's also time to really start getting some fun hand-made gift ideas!!!
There are so many fun little gift ideas you can stamp, stamp on, stamp in, etc! LOL Here's a gift I made using the new Wishing You Joy Stamp TV Kit............
I got the little Shadowbox at Archiver's, but I've seen them in other places too. I chose a white one so I wouldn't have to paint it first! I just stamped the images I wanted and colored them.....measuring was a bit of a challenge however! LOL I started a bit bigger than the actual slot size and then cut down 1/8" at a time. I used 2 of my favorite Pure Luxury colors.....Lipstick Red and Green Apple!!! Perfect holiday colors!!! I just added embellies to my heart's content!!! heehee! I added Flower Soft for a snowy look.....and recently I learned a cool trick for making your own Flower Soft: rub 2 white styrofoam craft balls together. That's all there is to it! I haven't tried it, but I thought I'd pass along the tip for those of you who don't have a convenient spot to get Flower Soft!
Now.....this challenge is to make a gift to give for the holidays. As long as it's anything but a card it counts!!! How about a set of tile coasters? Or a festive treat holder? A stamped candle? There are so many fun gift ideas!! I can't wait to see what you all come up with!!!!
****The winner of this challenge will receive any stamp set they choose
from Gina K Designs valued at $24.95 or less!*****
You can see the gallery for this challenge here: STVFRILM7

This is going to take some thinking on my part but I like the idea a lot. Will do my best to come up with something! No car so I can't go to town and purchase anything so have to work with what I have on hand in my craft stash.
Fun challenge Lee and your frame is utterly adorable...
Wow! I haven't been able to play with the challenges lately but this one is very intriguing, Lee. Very sweet sample.
I decided to make a vellum sleeve for a battery operated tea light. I gave these to my sisters a couple years ago and they enjoyed them on their holiday table. This time I used the poinsettias from the Holiday Basket Set. http://stamptv.ning.com/photo/poinsettia-candle?context=user
I always seem to upload an item for a challenge the week before the challenge...lol. I'll have to think of something new now. What a great challenge.
What a BEAUTIFUL shadowbox Lee! Wow...I am running with all kinds of ideas for this one...just finding the time is the dilemma lately! I am sure there will be tons of fun entries!!! Kim
I have these pretty Spellbinder dies and thought if I stacked them with spacers inbetween they might make a pretty ornament. Sorry again about the blurry photo but metallic has a tendency to give off glare it seems. I put two blue ones together and then graduated them up onto each side and placed a green jewel in the middle. My colors were royal blue and emerald green and I am sure they would look great on a tree or in a window. I think this will be the gift for my sisters this year. They would also be a cool package addition as well. So I am off to make another one soon. Here is my ornament: http://stamptv.ning.com/photo/ornament-4?context=user
Had to put my thinking cap on for this one Lee but came up with a candy box. Great idea but I really need to make my Thanksgiving cards....back to work. Here's my card: Santa Treats. TFL. Sorry about the poor quality picture; one of these days I'm going to figure out how to take a clear shot. LOL.
Here is a little box that I made that holds 3 mini-bars of kitkat. ~_^ http://stamptv.ning.com/photo/pretty-presents
I decorated a mandarin orange tin (we remove the bottom of the can to use the oranges then I use CE to reseal the can after putting in a gift card, cookies, candy or money).
The top is also decorated. I printed GKD cardstock using the freebie paper prints. Thanks for this fun challenge.
I forgot to upload the picture...I'll do that in the next post.
Here is my picture.
I just went and checked out the gallery. Wow! Everyone came up with different and wonderful presents. What a group of talented individuals!

FATE Brewing Co. of Boulder announced it will be taking over the old Avery Brewing facility just five stoplights down from its current brewpub on Arapahoe Road.
"It is a great fit for us," said FATE's owner Mike Lawinski. "We will be maximizing our production. This gives us more warehouse room and will allow us to get back into barreling."
At its brewpub, FATE produced about 4,000 barrels a year and recently began canning three of its beers. The brewery also struck gold at the 2014 Great American Beer Festival for its German-style kolsch beer.

As a dietitian, I love to share healthy eating with others.
I want everyone to learn to add foods to their meals that are delicious, healthy and will nourish their body.
For many people eating a healthier diet will also help them fight chronic disease such as diabetes or heart disease. For these people, eating is vital to their health. For others, healthy eating can make them feel better, lose a few pounds, feed their family, or give them enjoyment through cooking.
I love cooking! I enjoy making food for others who not only savor the meals or desserts I cook, but also realize they are good for them.
In order to share my passion with others and helping those struggling to cook meals that will help them manage diabetes, I created The One-Pot Diabetes Cookbook! In it I give practical knowledge about diabetes and following your food plan as well as recipes that you will find convenient and delicious.
All the recipes can be made with a few common ingredients, are easy to prepare and quick to clean up because they are made in one type of cooking vessel — skillet, crock pot, sheet pan, instant pot, pressure cooker, stock pot or salad bowl!
Each one is a complete meal that you will enjoy!
I hope you will check it out and see for yourself how eating healthy foods can be easier than you think at the same time you take charge of your diabetes.
The One-Pot Diabetes Cookbook can be found using this affiliate link: https://amzn.to/2MyO0F4

To apply for the NATO Summit Simulation Game 2013 applicants had to write and submit an essay. All essays were subject of evaluation by organizers and supporters, and here are the six best authors and their essays!
Evaluation commission included representatives from NATO Public Diplomacy Division, LATO, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, U.S. Embassy in Riga, Latvia. Evaluation commission thanks to all applicants as the all essays submitted included fresh ideas and interesting observations from young professional's perspective. However, here are the six best authors and their essays:
AGNESE GERHARDE | LATVIA, Riga | Rīiga Graduate School of Law
Essay "Smart Defence in Times of Austerity"
"Smart defence is a way of thinking of the 21st century and it is a "game changer" for addressing modern conflicts by modern means of cooperation. It is a way how to safeguard peace and security for society globally."
ANTRA DZENE | LATVIA, Riga | Turiba University
Essay "Euro-Atlantic Security Issues in the 21st Century"
"There is shift from the direct military threats to terrorism, cyber wars and financial stability threatening national security of partnership. It can be observed that in the 21st century, security threats are much more complex, and we are entering time of the uncertainty, where Trans-Atlantic partnership may play a key role to protect national security of Euro-Atlantic partnership."
ERNST-ARMIN TONISSON | ESTONIA, Tallinn | Tallinn University of Technology
Essay "Euro-Atlantic Security Issues in the 21st century"
"Despite NATOs efforts to tackle emerging challenges, the phenomenon of climate change in the Arctic is resulting in greater geopolitical tensions between past Cold War rivals. The melting Arctic icecap is exposing new international waterways and vast commercial opportunities worth trillions of dollars at current market values. The role of NATO in the Arctic will become central to the regions governance as the region can benefit from the majority of Arctic countries speaking in a common voice. To achieve this, the passing of historical rivalries between NATO and Russia must be reassured."
KADRI LUTTER | IGAUNIJA, Tallina | Bucknell University (USA)
Essay "Smart Defense in Times of Austerity"
"In the globalized world countless modern problems do not respect national borders and solutions to complex issues presuppose complex and innovative approach, but first and foremost, sustained commitment to problem solving and belief in our values and principles not only from politicians, but everyone across the board."
KĀRLIS SILS | LATVIA, Riga | University of Latvia
Essay "Central Asia Relations after 2014 in the Context of NATO's Ability to Facilitate Closer Regional Cooperation"
"In context of last decade 2014 might be seen as a turning point in political developments of the region as well as it raises a lot of uncertainty. Can the government of Afghanistan keep in power without direct support of NATO military forces? Will Afghanistan stay a major no-NATO allay? If Afghanistan collapses how will it affect neighboring countries? As there are many uncertainties, NATO's policy towards Afghanistan should be defined as to what is its aim, which should be to strengthen Afghanistan's governmental, civic and democratic institution making it a stable state as well as keeping its government (and making its people) loyal to the NATO cause."
LAURA NACYTE | LITHUANIA, Kaunas | Vytautus Magnus University
Essay "Euro-Atlantic Security Issues in the 21st century"
"In this this essay it is focused on three main issues. Describing the first one, it is claimed, paradoxically, that uncertainty makes it diffucult to project long-term NATO's strategy. Secondly, it presumed that transantlantic link will demand a determined effort. Finally, relations with strategically important partner, still being major NATO's 'headache' — Russia —will remain the 'axis' of relations with other countries."

Rocket League recently made some big changes to their game, including doing away with loot boxes. Unfortunately, while well-intentioned, it seems some of the pricing changes for Items and Blueprints have left fans with a bad taste in their mouth. Thankfully, the team behind Rocket League has heard the complaints, and they've set out to fix the issue.
Since the Blueprint Update release last week, we have pored over all of your comments on Discord, Reddit, Twitter, and beyond. We have heard your feedback that Item Shop and Blueprint pricing did not meet community expectations. After carefully reviewing all the data available to us, we're making the following changes, starting today:
Reduced the base price ranges of Item Rarities (before attributes like Paint) to the following values:
Rare: 50-100 Credits
Very Rare: 100-200 Credits
Import: 300-500 Credits
Exotic: 700-800 Credits
Paint and Special Editions now add less cost across the board, based on rarity:
Most Paint Colors: 50-200 additional Credits
Burnt Sienna: 0 additional Credits
Titanium White: 100-500 additional Credits
Special Editions: 200-400 additional Credits
Occasionally, special items will have custom pricing that varies from the above guidelines.
For in-game purchases made between December 4 and December 11 (today) at 12:00 p.m. PST (8:00 p.m. UTC) we will add Credits equal to any difference in price directly to your account. For example, purchasers of Crimson Fennec will receive 500 Credits back today, as a Crimson Fennec now costs 700 instead of 1200 Credits. This price adjustment is a one-time only event, and only applies to purchases made between December 4 and December 11.
These Credit returns will be complete within the next few hours. There will be no in-game display explaining this change. Players with any questions or concerns about recent purchases may contact our Customer Care team.
We always take feedback from our passionate community seriously, and we hope that this change in pricing reflects that. As always, thank you for being part of what makes Rocket League what it is today.

📰 Defying the legalisation of the unjustifiable
The Citizenship Act protests are a reminder that civil liberties and rights apply to even those whom the state may hate
•Widespread protests against the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, or CAA, 2019, have severely dented the image of the Narendra Modi government. Trying to repair the damage while pushing ahead with their divisive agenda, the regime's spokespersons have repeatedly asserted that the recently approved National Population Register (NPR) is not new, not related to the NRC, and not something to worry about. Only the first of these three claims is partially true, and only in a literal sense.
A powerful instrument
•It is indeed true that the NPR is envisioned in the Citizenship Act of 1955, and that it was revived by the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government when it amended the citizenship Act and rules in 2003. It is also true that the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) first implemented it in 2010 along with the 2011 Census. However, to say that there is nothing new about the NPR in today's transformed context is to speak in bad faith. The addition of unnecessary intrusive questions — on the place and date of birth of each parent, place of last residence, and Aadhaar, PAN (Permanent Account Number), driving licence, voter card and mobile phone numbers – makes it far more potent as an instrument of surveillance and harassment. Add the statements linking it to the NRC made in the recent past by representatives of the present government, and it is obvious why, unlike its first incarnation, the 2020 avatar of the NPR is being seen as a rudra or terrifying avatar.
Violation of norms
•Modern governance requires states to collect two broad kinds of data based on individuation and aggregation. Individuating data provides information on specific individuals, while aggregating data profiles groups or collectivities. Group-oriented data also begins with particular persons, but aggregation masks or "anonymises" them, thus yielding information only on collectivities such as illiterate persons or tax payers. Individual-oriented data is also pooled and consolidated, but the specific persons it covers remain identifiable. Norms of good governance dictate that the scope of individuating data be restricted, and that, on the other hand, databases with universal or wide coverage be confined to aggregated data that cannot identify individuals. The government's relentless effort to push for maximum individuation along with maximum coverage violates and reverses established norms regulating the collection of social statistics.
•The probable consequences of this reversal are illustrated by the contrary example of the Indian census, where the assurance of anonymity balances the coercive legal force of the state. The Census Act, 1948 requires all persons residing on Indian territory to truthfully answer the schedules canvassed by the enumerators of the Census of India — failure to do so is punishable with a fine. However, most Indians may not be aware that Section 11 of the same Act imposes even higher penalties on officials who falsify or disclose census data – they may also be jailed for three years. In fact, unpublished census data cannot be accessed by government departments, and Section 15 of the Census Act exempts it from the Indian Evidence Act so that it cannot be used in courts of law.
Weakening of anonymity
•To appreciate the full significance of this commitment to anonymity, consider the fact that the 2011 Census revealed that, between 2007 and 2011, 74 lakh Indians were married below the legal age of 18. Under the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006, those responsible are liable to be fined up to ₹1 lakh and/or imprisoned for up to two years. And yet the Census data cannot be used to identify them — it can only tell us, at best, that the incidence of under-age marriages is the highest in districts like Bhilwara and Chittorgarh, Rajasthan. In sharp contrast, the NPR, and especially the NRC offer no anonymity while collecting actionable personal data, but nevertheless impose coercive, census-like universal coverage.
•To be sure, states do need to collect individuating data, which is usually justified by invoking national security or the efficient targeting of welfare benefits. We also know that throughout history, states have collected information on groups such as criminals or political rivals. However, such exercises are of limited scope; they do not compulsorily include the entire population. They also have internal safeguards and/or offer clear benefits for respondents. It is noteworthy that the NPR and the NRC include none of these features. Actually, the NPR is nothing like the Census – it is only logistical efficiency that makes the former use the proven field machinery of the latter. It is also a logically, practically and politically necessary precondition for the NRC, without which it is pointless.
Faith in the state
•Ultimately, the key question is that of the people's faith in the state. In ex-colonies such as India that have won their independence through a freedom struggle, the post-colonial state gains a priceless inheritance of popular trust. After all, most people are unaware of the safeguards for anonymity built into the census; and yet they freely provide information because they trust the government. It is this trust that the present government seems determined to squander.
•What is all this for? Imagine that the NPR-NRC exercise has been completed successfully, and has identified 'x' lakh "non-citizens". What then? The only "plan" the government seems to have is to convert these 'x'lakh self-supporting persons, who have presumably contributed to their local economies, into permanent inmates of detention centres and eternal wards of the state. Since such a plan clearly makes no sense as policy, we have to turn to alternative explanations.
•As Kautilya, Machiavelli and Foucault remind us in their various ways, the point of the law is to exercise power. Laws are not necessarily meant to abolish whatever they render illegal; they are meant to trap particular subjects and practices in zones of illegality where they will be most susceptible to power. Graded or hierarchical citizenship has been unjustifiable in our republic, though it has been integral to our social practice. The NPR-NRC and CAA initiatives seem designed to coerce us into legalising the unjustifiable and normalising indefensible prejudices.
•And once the forces behind these initiatives have tasted victory, why will they stop? For there is no end to prejudices in our hierarchy-saturated culture.
•But the nation-wide protests tell us that the story is far from finished. They remind those who think they are our rulers of two crucial truths. First, that civil liberties and democratic rights are defined by the inconvenient fact that they must also be granted to those whom we may fear, hate or despise. And second, that the most rudra of rudraavatars are a people who have lost faith in their state.
Rather than denounce Kerala's CAA resolution, Centre must seek to understand the objections
•The Kerala Assembly's resolution calling upon the Centre to repeal the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, reflects the widespread unease and disquiet the legislation has caused. Rather than treat it as a controversy over the question whether a State Assembly is competent to question the law on a matter under the Union government's domain, the Centre should reflect on the core issue: that the CAA may be in violation of the equality norm and secular principles enshrined in the Constitution. Given how deeply the country is divided on the changes in the law, Kerala's example may set the stage for a wider confrontation between the Centre and States that have expressed their disinclination to give effect to the Centre's policy in this regard. The resolution reflects a legitimate concern that in enacting the CAA, the Centre has written a patently discriminatory norm into the law. There is justified opposition across India on the amendment's implications, especially in combination with the expected follow-up action in the form of establishing a citizenship register. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is among several CMs who have spoken out against the CAA's discriminatory nature, but his has been the first regime to adopt a formal resolution for repeal. The Centre must make an effort to understand the underpinnings of the ongoing protests against its amendments, of which the Kerala resolution is surely a part.
•Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and Kerala Governor Arif Mohammad Khan have denounced the adoption of such a resolution, the former arguing that all States had a constitutional duty to implement central laws. However, the principal objection — that citizenship being a matter concerning the Union, it is not open to State Assemblies to give their opinion on it — is not valid. To the extent that a State government believes that a parliamentary law is not constitutional, it is entirely in order for the State legislature to call for its repeal. Further, a resolution is not legislation, and is not governed by the principle of legislative competence. It is only an expression of a political opinion. Tamil Nadu, for instance, has passed several resolutions concerning India's foreign policy — such as asking for a war crimes probe against Sri Lanka and even a referendum on 'Tamil Eelam'. There is a technical problem on the resolution's admissibility. Kerala Assembly rules say matters pending before a court or those that do not concern the State should not be admitted in the form of a resolution. However, these are minor issues. Ultimately, the House Speaker decides on admitting a resolution, and it is an internal matter. Voicing support for the CAA and disapproval of Kerala's resolution are also valid political opinions, but these should not translate into any ill-advised action such as hauling up the Chief Minister before the Privileges Committee of Parliament.
📰 Bracing for global impact after Soleimani's assassination
There are apprehensions that the Iranian commander's death may be avenged by a thousand cuts
•Yesterday's targeted assassination of Major General Qassem Soleimani, Commander of Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), bears two important differences from recent targets of similar U.S. operations. Unlike Abu Musaib al-Zarqawi (leader of the al-Qaeda in Iraq), Osama bin Laden (founder of the al-Qaeda) and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, (founder of the Islamic State, or the IS), Gen. Soleimani, 62, was a state actor. Second, unlike the previous three, he was not past his prime. Both these factors could lead to more substantive fallout.
•The U.S. has sought to link the operation to a surge in attacks on its assets and personnel in Iraq. America proscribed the Qods Force and Gen. Qassem Soleimani more than 12 years ago for terrorism, but has not acted. In fact, during 2017-18, the U.S. indirectly collaborated with the Hashd Al-Shabi created by Gen. Soleimani, to defeat the IS. Gen. Soleimani was a frequent visitor to Iraq, and these visits were hardly secret. Moreover, had the U.S. wished to avoid a direct confrontation, it could have steered clear of taking public responsibility for the operation. But, presumably for domestic political reasons, it decided otherwise, thereby throwing down a risky "double-or-quit" gauntlet, at Tehran. Yet, unlike the targeted assassination of the IS chief in October, the U.S. President has, uncharacteristically avoided taking personal credit. Therefore, the handling of this operation raises more questions than it answers.
Pivotal figure
•Gen. Soleimani hailed from a modest background in Kerman, far from the country's traditional power centres. He was a child of the revolution, fought with distinction as a member of the IRGC in the Iraq-Iran war and was from 1998 the founder-commander of its Qods Force, formed for extra-territorial operations. During the past decade, he managed to leverage the disarray to enhance Iranian influence in Arab countries with a significant Shia population such as Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Yemen.
•He astutely created a network of local sympathisers and proxies and waged effective asymmetric wars. Unlike many Iranian public figures, he was untainted by corruption. His accomplishments earned him a cult-like following among most Iranians and their regional proxies. The U.S. and its Sunni allies saw his successes being at their cost. In an unguarded comment in 2017 that caused much alarm, he claimed that four Arab capitals were under Iranian sway.
•Iranian authorities have reacted with predictable vehemence at Gen. Soleimani's "martyrdom" and vowed vengeance. This tit-for-tat between the U.S. and Iran could easily go out of hand and lead to a major confrontation in a pyretic and fragile region, with unpredictable consequences. Both the antagonists have their respective domestic compulsions: Mr. Trump faces a Senate impeachment and re-election and Iran has its parliamentary elections next month. These factors would, hopefully, limit their options to low-intensity skirmishes. Iran has in the past used its foreign proxies, many of which were created and fostered by Gen. Soleimani, and they may now be itching to avenge his loss. Moving concentrically, Gen. Soleimani's assassination in Baghdad is one incident most Iraqis could do without. It is likely to queer the pitch for Iraq, a hapless country with a caretaker government convulsed by nearly three months of youth protests, inter alia, against undue foreign interference by both Iran and the U.S.
•The event is likely to re-polarise Iraqi society along sectarian lines and intensify the Iran-U.S. competition for influence. In a worst case scenario, Iraq could turn into the new Syria. The popular Iraqi clamour for political reforms and transparency may be eclipsed by the demand for eviction of the U.S. presence itself.
Oil sector as target
•At a regional level, anxiety may rise about Gen. Soleimani's death being avenged by a thousand cuts at the interests of the U.S. and its allies. This may involve resumed attacks on oil tankers and other low hanging but high value economic targets, particularly in the oil sector. Global oil prices have already seen a 4% rise within hours of the incident due to the "fear premium"; unless de-escalated, jittery commodity speculators may spin out of control.
•The urge for a riposte runs deep in the Iranian psyche. The U.S. has a global presence but that also brings in vulnerabilities. All that can be safely predicted is that the situation remains highly unpredictable.
Potential fallout, on India
•India has already had considerable difficulties in meandering through the obstacle course created by the U.S.-Iran cold war. While we need to be on the right side of the U.S., our ties with Iran, apart from being "civilisational", have their own geostrategic logic. Now that the conflict has turned hot, its adverse impact on India could magnify. Apart from a rise in our oil import bill and difficulties in supplies, the safety of an estimated eight million expatriates in the Gulf may be affected. Iran has the capacity to influence the U.S.-Taliban peace process in Afghanistan, a neighbouring country. Last but not the least, after Iran, India has perhaps the largest number of the world's Shia population and the possibility of some of them being radicalised by this event cannot be ruled out. It can be argued that had the U.S. not invaded Iraq in 2003 creating the mother of all chaos, Qassem Soleimani and his Qods Force would have largely remained a sideshow in Lebanon. So his targeted assassination yesterday completes the circle.
📰 Pinarayi writes to 11 CMs on CAA
'Pass Assembly resolution against Act'
•Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has written to 11 Chief Ministers, urging them to emulate the model set by the Kerala Assembly in passing a resolution demanding that the Centre scrap the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) 2019.
•Mr. Vijayan's move to elicit the cooperation of 11 States in the fight against the CAA comes in the wake of BJP leader G.V.L. Narasimha Rao filing a petition with the Rajya Sabha Chairman for initiating breach of privilege proceedings against him for passing the resolution.
•Mr. Vijayan, in his letter, said the Act had triggered apprehensions among large sections of society and the need of the hour was unity among all Indians who wished to protect the country's democratic and secular values.
•People from different sections, irrespective of their different opinions, should unite to preserve the basic tenets of the polity which form the cornerstone of democracy, he said.
'NPR put on hold'
•Kerala had decided to address the apprehensions about the National Register of Citizens (NRC). Preparation of the National Population Register (NPR) would eventually lead to the NRC. The government had stayed all activities related to the NPR in the State, Mr. Vijayan said.
•Drawing attention to the resolution passed by the Kerala Assembly on December 31 expressing concern over the impact of the CAA on the nation's secular credentials and requesting the Centre to repeal it, Mr. Vijayan said those States which felt that the Act should be repealed could consider similar steps.
•The letter has been forwarded to the Chief Ministers of Jharkhand, West Bengal, Delhi, Maharashtra, Bihar, Puducherry, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh and Odisha.

Mumbai: Jumping on the bandwagon of Nationalist-Anti-Nationalist debate in India, a Local MLA has announced that anyone not watching India-Pakistan match in the Asia cup will be declared an Anti-Nationalist and sent to Pakistan.
Showing his patriotism for the country, the MLA (Name withheld for security reasons) announced that all the Indians who would be busy with work or domestic chores or any other work, will be tagged as Anti-Nationals and he will file a police complaint for sedition.
India takes on Pakistan in their second match of Asia Cup in Dhaka later tonight.
The super-excited MLA, who holds the world record for participating in maximum number of agitations resulting in cancellation of Pakistani Artists' events in India, got carried away by the enthusiasm for the high voltage clash between the two neighbors.
Speaking to Faking News, the MLA said, "All the nationalists must come together and support our country. If you aren't watching India play Pakistan then you are an Anti-Nationalist. Everyone must upload pics of their TV screen on social media as proof that they were indeed watching the match. People who aren't active on any social media platform must watch it at full volume so that their neighbors can confirm their nationalism."
"There has been a massive debate in the country over who is a nationalist and who is not after the recent events at JNU in Delhi. This is a simple test to identify nationalists. Hopefully, the country will honour me with Bharat Ratna for coming up with this brilliant idea", the MLA went on to add.
Meanwhile, every news channel has sent their camera crews to JNU to film the students' reactions during the match. If anyone claps like Munni in Bajrangi Bhaijaan after an Afridi six, it will ensure 6 more weeks of news programming as per our experts.

Starting your Vehicle in the ColdBlog Jan 23rd, 2019
t's a known fact to most drivers that when the temperature outside is below freezing it becomes increasingly more difficult to start your ignition and have everything warm up efficiently.
Why are there issues with starting my vehicle?
Batteries within cold or winter weather produce less electrical power due to the cold freezing the chemicals within it. If your battery won't hold a charge anymore, it is recommended to replace the part entirely. We here at Alta Nissan Richmond Hill carry many batteries for numerous Nissan vehicles.
Engine Oil
Engine oil becomes thicker within the winter. With thicker oil in your engine, it cannot flow as well as it should, making it harder to lubricate your engine, hence making it less effective.
Fuel Lines
Sometimes there could be water within the fuel lines which can freeze while in below freezing conditions. While this shouldn't happen, this could occur. With frozen fuel lines, it blocks the flow of fuel to the engine. Also diesel gas can "gel" in the winter which makes it much slower to flow.
Service your vehicle in the winter
An excellent way to prevent any difficulties in turning on your vehicle while its cold out is to regularly go get it serviced. It is especially important to get it serviced within the winter to make sure it is all running they way it should be and having it ready for any harsh winter weather. Come into our dealership Alta Nissan Richmond Hill to see what promotions we currently have within our service department that can save you money on your service.
Keep it warm
If available, keep your vehicle in your garage at night where it is significantly warmer than in a driveway or the side of the road. Keeping your vehicle warmer can make turning on your ignition easier from not being so exposed to the winter elements during the night.
Use the correct oil
You can check your owners manual to check what type of oil you should use for cold conditions, or you can even come in and we here at Alta Nissan Richmond Hill can assist you in identifying the best oil for you. While you're in as well we can perform an oil change to the new oil as well!
Turning it on
Turn everything off
It is a good idea to turn everything electric off before turning on the ignition. So the headlights, radio and anything else using electricity should be turned off to let the battery use the energy for just the engine to start.
Turn the key and let it go for a FEW SECONDS
When you do turn the key let it go for only a few seconds. If it starts up then great! If it doesn't after a few seconds, stop turning the key. You don't want the motor to overheat by turning the key for too long. Wait a few minutes afterwards and try again, hopefully from your initial try, things may have loosened up and make it easier to start this time.
Need a Jump Start?
If you turn the key and the car does absolutely nothing, then there's a good chance you have a dead battery. We actually wrote a step by step guide on how to jump start your vehicle within another article where you can find here.
Lots of older vehicles will have more difficulty to start up within cold weather and conditions. With aged parts and an old engine with less advancements than vehicles made today, it becomes harder to maintain in the winter. Maybe it's time to switch out the hassle for a new 2019 model with better features to help you better within the cold. A newer engine, stronger control, and sleeker amenities within change your mornings in the cold from draining to fun. You can come in or see online our inventory of many excellent 2019 Nissan vehicles that can cut through the cold of winter like never before!
Alta Nissan Richmond Hills blog is dedicated to helping our loyal customers.

COMMENT By Harvey Byrne
Newcastle should go all out in a battle with fierce rivals Sunderland for Southampton striker Sam Gallagher to help ensure their Premier League survival next season.
The Sun reported on Saturday that the Black Cats will make a move for the towering 21-year-old in the summer, who is currently on loan in the Championship with Blackburn.
The Wearsiders have been brought to the attention of the emerging striker with his contract set to expire in 2018 as well as his 11 goals in 32 appearances for a struggling Rovers side in all competitions this season.
At six feet and four inches the player is a target-man forward and at 21 he is currently far younger than Newcastle's current similar in physique striker Daryl Murphy.
Many of the Toon fan base feel as though the club is lacking a quality target player up top with Dwight Gayle and Aleksandar Mitrovic bringing different attributes to the forward line.
Additionally, the Magpies are expected to be on the defence a lot next season if they do win promotion and Rafa Benitez may need to resort to long-ball tactics.
A ball up to Gallagher could prove far more effective than to one of either Gayle or Mitrovic and at his age the former England Under-20 international still has many years to grow.
He is no novice to top flight football either and already has 18 senior appearances in the Premier League for Southampton, bringing a return of one goal.
Gallagher would be the ideal signing for Newcastle due to his playing style, age and his assumed low cost and the Magpies should do battle with Sunderland for his signature.
In other Newcastle transfer news, the Magpies have agreed a £1million deal for a player once rated at £20million.

The Timeless Warriors Forum Need a little help
Need a little help
12 Years Ago
I've been working on this story for a little while. It's my first attempt at a story. I'm need of some feed back. It's called The Birthing (I don't know why I named it that but I guess because, right now, it reminds me of labor and labor pains). As of now it's in three installments.
What I've noticed it folks are willing to review poems because they are quick and easy. I don't blame them but it's hell if your looking for feed back from a story your writing. I have to remember, though, it is the net, most people have the attention span of a gnat when it comes to the net, including me. But I'm beggin' for a little feed back. So if anyone wouldn't mind poking around and reading the first three installments of The Birthing, I'd be deeply grateful.
Thank you!
[no subject]
12 Years Ago
And that's exactly the kind of help I wanted to provide with this group, people read too randomly and without any attention. So I'm hoping this group will contain people that are actually interested in helping each other out with stories or poems where they need feed back or are stuck with. Hopefully others will look at it like I do. It doesn't has to be a big group, as long as it's a usefull group.
Now to your story, your introduction gives away a very dreamy picture of what the book will be about but leaves some open space to get really curious. I like the way it is written, with a bit of poetic style in it.
Chapter one starts out the same way but has a somewhat more real picture with it, the ear picking and the people around her. I think the two fit well together although I keep wondering why she would do pick her ears. It sounds more childlike and your story indicates she is no longer a child and is written in a very mature way.
I will read your next chapter when I have the time for it later this week. Btw I do like the fact that it is written in the 'I' form instead of the he/she form, but do you think you can make a whole book/story in that way? I always found it rather difficult to write like that.

Leaving South Carolina wasn't the easiest goodbye because it's just so dang pretty everywhere you look. But on the bright side, we still had two more destinations to get to!The drive from South Carolina to Chattanooga had some of the most breath-taking views that I've ever seen. I could literally do that drive about five more times and still not be tired of the view. After a long day of hiking and driving the day before, we decided to spend our day exploring downtown Chattanooga with all the good food and cute shops.
And just my luck… the day we decided to see most of the cute things and places that Chattanooga has to offer, I ran out of photo storage. Bleh. BUT, I will say that the downtown area is a must for shopping and browsing the cutest boutiques with the prettiest mountain views in the distance.
Also, if you're visiting around breakfast/brunch time, I highly recommend Maple Street Biscuit Company if you've never been to one of their locations before. And if you have been to one before, still go anyway because it's flippin' delicious.
And just like that, our day and night in Chattanooga came to an end… Sigh. The next day we headed off for our second and last hike of the trip: Sawnee Mountain Preserve, Indian Seats Trail. To be honest, we were super hesitant about this hike because of what happened on our first hike attempt… but we were determined to end our trip on a positive note and went for it anyway.
Indian Seats Trail Hike
It's safe to say that the Indian Seats Trail treated us very well, thank the Lord! Haha, I'm not sure what would have happened if the weather failed us again in the same week.
This hike was definitely one of my all time favorites because it helped conquer my fear of living on the edge. When we finally reached the famous Indian Seats, I didn't hesitate to sit in one of the seats and dangle my feet over the edge of that mountain. Pretty sure it was just all the excitement that instantly kicked in because we successfully reached the top.
It wasn't until I actually sat down and gazed at the view that I realized I was literally dangling my feet over the edge of a mountain. Whaaat!?
I'd say this was just about the best way to end our first of many best-friend road trips. It was definitely a learning experience for the both of us, since it was our first time traveling more than a week without parents or other adults (yaas, we're officially adulting).
We will definitely be doing another road trip like this in the near future. So, stay tuned! 😉 Thanks for all of you who followed along this quick series of this summer's road trip!

11 Jan Lambridge Wood Road is a racehorse amongst ponies…Philip Booth Esq – Homes Weekly
Bradley, 30 Lambridge Wood Road – Philip Booth Esq – Homes Weekly
By Alison Stodolnic
Lambridge Wood Road is a racehorse amongst ponies. A professional in a crowd of amateurs. A Harrods Café coffee next to a mug of Instant.
Discreet and exclusive, this residential road is hidden from view, just off the Fairmile, and curves smoothly towards a large area of woodland bordering the National Trust land of Greys Court.
Lambridge Wood Road is broadly exempt from Henley's burgeoning traffic issues, because it is a quiet no-through road ending abruptly at the edge of the woods.
To say this residential address is "desirable" or "highly sought-after" is something of an understatement – it has an exclusive but cheerful air about it, and all the houses are good-looking and comfortably spread out with plenty of space between them.
The road is rich with neatly manicured hedges and some lawns so big they are almost fields, with bulbous firs and ancient pine trees towering overhead, cocooning its residents in a leafy oasis of calm.
Traditional country homes sit alongside ultra-modern properties, behind tall fences and up driveways lit with tiny lanterns.
Bradley on Lambridge Wood Road is a five-bedroom house on the market with Philip Booth Esq, with a guide price of £2,000,000.
The front door is up a few steps and under a covered porch. It leads into a big entrance hall, with a storage cupboard under the stairs and a cloakroom on one side.
There is a nice quiet study at the front of the house, with an array of bookshelves and drawers fitted by local cabinet-maker Ian Desmond.
There are four reception rooms on the ground floor. The biggest of them, the living room, stretches from the front to the back of the house and has windows on all three sides.
There is a separate family room in between the living room and the kitchen, which could potentially be knocked-through to create a bigger open-plan kitchen / family room.
The kitchen itself is fitted with white Shaker-style kitchen cabinets, mottled black worktops and a Bosch electric oven and ceramic hob, and there is space for a breakfast table and chairs.
The dining room is next to the kitchen, and there is a useful utility room in between the two.
The galleried upstairs landing has space for a sofa – perhaps a cosy spot to snuggle up for a bedtime story with the children, or somewhere to sit and wait while your other half gets ready for a night out.
The master bedroom is fitted with handsome wooden floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, and a fully tiled en suite bathroom with both a bath and a shower.
The four other bedrooms are all of a good size and have fitted wardrobes, and there is a family bathroom on the first floor too.
The gently sloping and stepped back garden is stocked with well-established trees, colourful plants and a vegetable garden – there is a large patio outside the living room, accessible through a set of sliding doors.
At the top of the back garden there is a summer house and another small patio, where you can sit and enjoy views of the treetops and unspoilt countryside all around.
There is a garden store room and an enclosed back lobby leading into the kitchen – a handy place for leaving wet umbrellas or removing muddy boots after a woodland dog walk.
At the front of the house, the driveway is behind a set of gates. There is plenty of parking space here and also a detached double garage with light and power.
The garage could potentially be converted into annexe accommodation, subject to the usual planning permission rules.
There is a patio at the front of the house and a cute wooden gazebo in one corner of the front garden – the perfect place for sitting in the shade on a summer's day, or for taking shelter while outside gardening on a showery day.
Estate agent Philip Booth said: "Bradley is tucked away on one of Henley's most prestigious roads, on a large plot approaching three quarters of an acre, with woodland walks on the doorstep and within walking distance of Henley.
"It is a no-through road and borders ancient woodland, making this a safe place for children to play and teenagers to explore, and it is also a great area for dog walking."
Lambridge Wood Road is about a mile away from the centre of Henley, along the A4130 Fairmile towards Bix and the Assendons.
The homes here come on to the market quite infrequently. For more information about this property, or to arrange a viewing, call Philip Booth Esq on (01491) 635343 or 07795 422284.

What is a hysterectomy?
A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the womb (uterus) through the abdomen, vagina or laparoscopic ally (using a camera inserted through small incisions in the abdomen). There are different types of hysterectomies: subtotal (the womb only), total (womb and cervix) and radical (womb, the upper part of the vagina and fallopian tubes). Please note the laparoscopic hysterectomy is only carried out if the abdominal or vaginal hysterectomy procedures are not suitable.
Who can benefit from having a hysterectomy?
There are various conditions or symptoms when women may need to undergo a hysterectomy. These include heavy periods, tumors, particular cancers and endometriosis, among others.
The two main hysterectomy procedures – abdominal and vaginal – are performed under general anesthetic.
- Abdominal hysterectomy – An incision is made across the lower abdomen and the womb removed. The top of the vagina is then sewn up, followed by the abdominal incision (sometimes dissolvable stitches may be used). A catheter (tube) is inserted into the bladder to drain any urine as some women may find it difficult to physically pass urine following their hysterectomy. Tubes may also be left in the abdomen following surgery to drain any build-up of fluids.
Vaginal hysterectomy – A vaginal hysterectomy is usually the preferred method as the recovery period is shorter and the surgery not as invasive. This type of hysterectomy is performed in the same way as the abdominal surgery, minus the abdominal incision. Instead an incision is made in the vagina to reach the womb, which is removed back through the vagina.
Recovery period
Depending on the type of hysterectomy procedure, you will need to stay in hospital for up to three days, and any drainage tubes should be removed around 48 hours after surgery. It is normal to be aware of a brownish vaginal discharge and/or light bleeding following your hysterectomy. Depending on the type of hysterectomy, you may begin the menopause shortly after surgery. It is normal to experience mood swings following the hysterectomy. You should avoid sexual intercourse for around two months and driving for six weeks. It may take around two weeks to fully recover from a vaginal hysterectomy, and between 8- 12 from an abdominal hysterectomy. Please be aware, you will no longer have any periods or be able to have children.
Complications ensuing from a hysterectomy include infection, bleeding, incontinence, pain during intercourse and damage to other organs. Bowel and bladder injuries, breathing problems as a reaction to the anesthetic, lowered sex drive and opening of the wound are other potential risks associated with having a hysterectomy.

Party leader's move could prompt critics of second Brexit referendum to resign
Jeremy Corbyn is expected to whip Labour MPs to support a Brexit referendum in the indicative votes – but could face a wave of resignations from frontbenchers determined not to back it.
The Guardian understands a delegation of shadow ministers, including known second referendum sceptics Ian Lavery, Jon Trickett and Richard Burgon, held a meeting lasting more than two hours on Tuesday evening with John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor.

Death of the Liberal Class
Been doing a lot of reading lately, especially books by John Ralston Saul and Chris Hedges. With respect to the later, for an uncompromising look at the state of liberalism in this country and how it happened, read Chris Hedges' book Death of the Liberal Class. I did. And I'm glad I did as it cleared things up in my mind as to the state we are in.
A major point in the book is that the Liberal Class, and the media, are THE problem. They talk a good game but do not actually fight the fight.
"The Death of the Liberal Class" examines the failure of the liberal class to confront the rise of the corporate state and consequences of a liberalism that has become profoundly bankrupted.
Populations will endure the repression of tyrants, as long as these rulers continue to manage and wield power effectively. But human history has demonstrated that once those in positions of power become redundant and impotent, yet insist on retaining the trappings and privileges of power, their subject populations will brutally discard them. Such a fate awaits the liberal class, which insists on clinging to its positions of privilege while at the same time refusing to play its traditional role within the democratic state. The liberal class has become a useless and despised appendage of corporate power. And as corporate power pollutes and poisons the ecosystem and propels us into a world where there will be only masters and serfs, the liberal class, which serves no purpose in the new configuration, is being abandoned and discarded. The death of the liberal class means there is no check to a corporate apparatus designed to enrich a tiny elite and plunder the nation. An ineffectual liberal class means there is no hope, however remote, of a correction or a reversal. It ensures that the frustration and anger among the working and middle classes will find expression outside the confines of democratic institutions and the civilities of a liberal democracy.
Below is a video clip of Chris talking about his book. Worth viewing in my opinion for being a pretty good summary of the book. But read the book too, for the devil is in the details.
(Click here to watch the enlarged version on YouTube)
Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.
