Meet Sara Davison. Wife to Jonathan and mother to two year old Isla Grace. Sara is also the #bosslady busines owner of Mornington Peninsula based website Kinly, an online marketplace that connects mums and dads who are searching for family related services directly to service providers in their local area. Services can be anything from a pregnancy massage, a sleep or lactation consultant, a birthday cake baker or an after school tutor – if it's family related, Kinly can find it! Families can get organised instantly, all in one place, and for free! We just loved the concept of Kinly and as you know, we love any mama who is doing it for themselves so we were very excited to chat to Sara recently about her families business and being "More than a Mama".
MLTS – Thank you so much for chatting with us Sara. Let's start by you telling us a little about yourself and your family.
Sara – You can call it the road less traveled, perhaps! I was born in a little island in the Persian Gulf called Bahrain, my husband Jonathan was born in England, and life brings us together in Auckland, New Zealand. After almost 4 years of trying, we found out we were pregnant with Isla Grace the day before we moved to Melbourne – this cheeky 2 year old still does things on her own terms! After a couple of moves around Melbourne we visited friends in Mornington and that was it, we fell in love and moved here shortly after.
MLTS – And so being a busy mama and moving to a new area, you obviously started to have the need to access local family services? Tell us about Kinly, what inspired you to start your business?
Sara – I read once that out of every complaint is an opportunity, depending on how you look at things. When I had Isla I took a break from the corporate world – I didn't necessarily have a plan, I just knew that there was more I was meant to be doing even though I enjoyed that world and had good prospects ahead.
I found that trying to connect into services that I needed for my family could be easier – it was almost like the whole process of finding and booking services was a decade behind in an age where you can Uber your next ride or meal at the touch of a button. As I got talking to the businesses that serve families,
I saw a common thread of challenges that can also be solved with a platform like Kinly. So, we built it! A platform that solves a need for families and businesses, which is a good business concept on it's own merit.
MLTS – Such an awesome concept Sara, I can't tell you the amount of times I have sat googling local birthday cakes or face painters and go around and around in circles! What have you found parents love most about Kinly? How is it a game changer for busy families?
Sara – What parents love most about Kinly is that it makes life easier (let's be honest, who has time to waste these days), but they also get to support local businesses in their community while also knowing that their choice is making a difference to lives around the world – Win-win-win.
MLTS – So you came from a corporate background which is obviously a great advantage when it comes to starting your own business. How is Kinly different to a tradition corporate model? Tell us about the compassion side of the business.
Sara – Connecting local families quickly and easily with local services is the core of our idea but what completed Kinly for me personally was being able to build compassion into our business model. As many of you will relate, becoming a mother opens up your heart to much deeper levels of love and compassion.
Those 'statistics' you come across about children living and dying in extreme poverty weren't just abstract numbers. They were personal. How could we live in a world where 50% of our children live in poverty? How could you as a helpless mother, watch your child die in your arms for lack of clean water or of starvation when it's now proven that we have more than enough resources to look after and feed every soul in this world? So we thought, what if we can build a business that at it's core, contributes literally, to saving lives?
MLTS – You're so right. Your eyes certainly open once you become a mama. We can't watch certain things on telly now without blubbering like babies thinking what if the same was to happen to our own children. We just love businesses with an element of compassion, tell us about the positive impacts Kinly donates?
Sara – We are proudly a #BusinessForGood. Building a business that incorporates values of compassion and reverence for every human life in this world is what Kinly is about to me: a platform that serves families in our community and around the world. For every booking made on our platform, we fund a life-saving impact to a child, family or community living in extreme poverty around the world.
What if you knew that booking a Kangatraining class provides access to clean water for a day, or that a booking your child a birthday cake will feed another child a nutritious meal, or that learning lifesaving family first aid skills will provide access to basic medical attention for newborns to ensure a healthy start to life. It's so simple: One booking. One impact. In our short time in business we have made over 1,500 impacts – this is what lights up my soul!
MLTS – That is so awesome. Not only are you helping local families but families overseas too who really need our help. How good, as you said, to be able to book a service for your family knowing it positively impacts a family in need. Speaking of families, being a busy working mama, what are your top tips for juggling work life with family life?
Sara – It's a tough one, especially when you're starting out. If you're truly committed, be prepared to be stretched in every sense of the word. Having a support network around you will help; and accepting that while starting a business is meant to give you more flexibility and time with your family, it will come in fits and bursts. So those times that you do get (whether it be walking the dog together, or baking a cake on a Sunday), make sure you're totally present.
MLTS – So true, it's so tempting to keep checking messages or emails 24/7, that's such great advice to ensure you're totally present. What advice would you give to other mama's who are thinking about starting a small business but perhaps don't quite have the confidence to do so?
Sara – Find what makes you feel most alive and find a way to make a living from it – it doesn't necessarily have to be your past experience necessarily, although you may find some skills you've picked up along the way really helpful.
Whatever you do, put on your own stamp on it. Make it uniquely, authentically you without feeling pressured to fit into any cookie cutter mould. Having a business that is an expression of yourself is not just a great marketing and branding asset, but will also foster your connection with the business itself.
Commit to something bigger than yourself. It takes some mental toughness and resilience starting on your own, but connecting your 'why' to something outside yourself will help you move those mountains.
MLTS – Your words ring so true Sara. We So, family time, what is your favourite thing to do on the Mornington Peninsula?
Sara – Mills Beach, Mills Beach, Mills Beach … no matter how busy and stressful life can get there's nothing that centers me more than feeling sand between my toes and fresh sea breeze. Watching my little girl splash around in the water and build sandcastles with her daddy fills my heart with so much gratitude and appreciation for life and what we have – it's the simple moments that are the most precious!
We also like to take little adventures and visit different places around the Peninsula … there is so much to do around here, we are so lucky!
MLTS – That we are, 100% spoilt for choice! Mills Beach is a favourite of ours too. And inspiration? What's your favourite quote?
Sara – "Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world" – Howard Zinn. It's such a beautifully simple concept, and what I love about it, is that it reminds us that if we want to make a difference in the world, it doesn't necessarily need to be some big, grand gesture.
Just a simple, everyday choice can literally save a life – how empowering is that! What an amazing concept for our children to learn how powerful and important they are, and that as citizens of this world they can make an impact. This is what underpins Kinly and what we are here to do in the world.
MLTS – Now we know this might not happen as often as you like seeming you're a mama and a business owner, but how do you like to spend your "Me" time?
Sara – My happy place is snuggled up on my couch, with a scented candle burning, music in the background reading an inspirational autobiography, or a book on people and organisations doing good in the world. Yes, that helps me relax; I am a closet nerd! For Christmas this year I asked my husband not to buy me anything; all I wanted was me time on the couch, with a good book, uninterrupted!
MLTS – Ha! Love it! And we so agree, we feel the older you get and busier you become, simply being alone with a good book is pure bliss! Lastly, Coffee or Tea?
Sara – Coffee, please and thank you!
Thank you so much for chatting with us Sara. What an awesome job you're doing, very inspiring.

Quick Review (LP): The Inevitable Past (…) by Three Mile Pilot
November 11, 2010 Leave a comment
Three Mile Pilot
The Inevitable Past Is The Future Forgotten
Temporary Residence; 2010
My Rating: A-
Best Tracks: "Still Alive", "Planets", "What's In The Air"
Back in the day, these guys titled songs with Star Control references. OK, sold. 3MP is impossible to pigeonhole, but I'm a sucker for a challenge. Pessimistic sci-fi blue-eyed slo-core soul. Yessir. Put that on your press release. All things considered, this is a really good record, one notch below excellent because it remains slightly inaccessible. Still, it sounds a good deal like what TV On The Radio is putting out these days, and tracks like "Still Alive" and "What's In The Air" are excellent pieces of weird pop-noir. It probably won't make my top 10 this year, but this record goes deep. I imagine it will really grow on me in the years to come.

Solving the slum problem
IF A CITY'S wealth is to be judged by its skyline, then Metro Manila, Cebu and other major cities must be rapidly getting rich. New gleaming skyscrapers, billboards announcing soon-to-be-constructed high-rises and sprawling malls line up Edsa and other major urban avenues in the country.
And yet, poverty has barely budged in recent years and the housing deprivations of millions of Filipinos fester and grow even worse.
Poverty in our country has persisted over the past six decades. The Philippine Statistical Authority reported that poverty rate had been falling but at a slower rate in the past decade.
The poverty rate among families fell quite fast from 29.7 percent to 21.0 percent from 1991 to 2006 but slowed down later —19.7 percent in 2012, 18.8 percent in 2013 and 20.2 in 2014.
Serious inequality
The economy's higher and more stable growth in the past decade has failed to raise enough jobs for the rapidly growing population and improve the wage rates of the employed. There is serious inequality in poverty rates across regions.
The government has not taken serious efforts to directly and effectively address the problem of poverty. Several agencies—the Department of Agrarian Reform, Department of Social Welfare and Development, National Anti-Poverty Commission, Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI), and even the Department of Education and Department of Health—have been set up to address particular facets of poverty but none has exhibited competence and dedication to fulfill its mandate.
Malnutrition, diseases
Malnutrition rate among children and young adults is still high. Large numbers of families continue to live in slums, the incidence of infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis, filariasis and diarrhea, remains significant while there are still rural areas that suffer from malaria and schistosomiasis.
A significant proportion of children do not enroll in primary education and a fairly high proportion of pupils drop out before completing the elementary grades.
Deprivations not reflected
These deprivations are not reflected in the official report on poverty since the methodology used is not based on meeting basic needs. It uses a highly simplified construct to estimate the poverty line, which is too low to fully capture the extent and depth of the country's poverty.
Because of these limitations on official poverty estimates, data are presented on poverty in shelter, food and education. Special attention is drawn to the dire poverty in shelter as evidenced by the widespread presence of slums.
The inadequacy of food intake has resulted in poor nutritional status of children as indicated by underweight (UW) and underheight (UH) status. Poor nutritional status has declined for all age groups since 1989-1990 but has remained high.
In the last survey of the FNRI in 2013, close to 20 percent of the youngest group of children were underweight. The UH rate tends to be higher than the UW rate among 0- to 5-year-old children.
As children grow, their food requirement rises and if not filled results in stunting. Thus, we find stunting to be lowest among infants of age 0 to 1 year old, but the UW and UH rates increase monotonically every year up to year 3, then remain about the same in year 4 and 5.
Expectedly, income is highly correlated with UW and UH rates. The UW rates monotonically decreased as family income increased from quintile to quintile in both urban and rural areas.
Most serious in housing
The country's poverty appears to be most serious in housing than in the other basic needs. Slums are widespread in Metro Manila but also exist in smaller cities and towns. Most slums are located in public lands and abandoned private properties that are close to the poor's sources of livelihood, such as dumps for scavenging, roadsides for itinerant vending and residential areas for domestic services.
In Metro Manila, slums proliferate along riverbanks, clogged streams, railroad properties, roadsides and parks—all public domain.
Slums in tourist areas
There are slums in Manila's tourist and historical places, such as Intramuros, Ermita and Chinatown, and along major roads, including those that lead to Malacañang Palace. The spacious campus of the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City, also contains thousands of squatter families.
The poor possibly think they have a right to build their homes on public land and abandoned private properties. The government, on the other hand, has been tolerant of their illegal occupancy considering that it has not offered them much alternative.
Besides, there is a law that allows slum demolition only if an alternative residence is available to the affected families. There is no substantial national or local government program for solving the slum problem through relocation and housing improvement.
NHA's limited budget
The National Housing Authority (NHA) is a fairly large office with six coordinating agencies but has assumed modest objectives and obtained very limited budget. Local governments, on the other hand, have ignored the housing need of their poor constituents.
The slum dwellers represent a large voting population and politicians patronize them with alms for funerals, baptism and wedding celebrations, and medicine in exchange for their vote come election time.
Makeshift apartments
Statistics on these dimensions of the country's poor housing are provided by the Census of Population and Housing, and the Annual Poverty Indicator Surveys (Apis). We consider housing units of less than 5 square meters and 5- to 9-sq-m shanties made of makeshift materials and built along roads and waterways, at dumps and in some high-value squatter areas.
In Metro Manila, the next larger shelters of 10 to 19 sq m or about 14.5 sq m on average are what we call unstructured makeshift apartments. They make do with whatever materials they could avail themselves of.
Many shanty apartments form solid blocks of three or four story rooms. The shanty apartments are located along major streets of the metropolis, such as Quirino, Osmeña and Araneta Avenues, and in the notorious slum areas of Leveriza and Baseco.
Quezon City has an even larger slum population than Manila. Access to community water and electrical systems appears to be minimal or, if available, are shared by many.
No space for bed
Families in all these types of poor housing are crowded in varying degrees, allowing no privacy among family members and even among neighbors. The smallest shanties of less than
10 sq m have no space for any furniture, even a bed or a table and allow just the bare floor for sleeping, cooking and eating. The larger rooms in shanty apartments of 10 to 19 sq m may have space for small kitchen or a table or a bed.
These shanties are tightly built together so there is no outside space except the sidewalk. Children play on the sidewalks when they empty after office hours. Families are also found to bring out chairs to enjoy the space in the evening. The women would do their laundry and other tasks at some corner of the sidewalk during the day.
Based on the 2010 census, 3.563 million or 19.1 percent of families live in makeshift shanties of less than 10 sq m and 3.757 million live in small shelters of 10 to 19 sq m.
In Metro Manila, these consist of shanties and shanty apartments. A total of 372,500 families or 14.1 percent of families in the metropolis live in shanties of less than 10 sq m and 390,900 in shanty apartments 10 to 19 sq m. These 763,400 shanties make up Metro Manila's slums.
The housing situation is slightly better in Central Luzon than in Metro Manila, but very much worse in the three poorest regions of Bicol, Eastern Visayas and Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. The regions outside Metro Manila have a higher proportion of 20- to 29-sq-m houses, which are small but decent independent houses of nipa and other native materials.
Access to education
We consider dire poverty to be the main reason that discourages families from sending their children to school.
The completion rate in the elementary level was only 75 percent, meaning that about 25 percent of the children drop out before completing the grades. The large proportion of young children (about 25 percent) who do not complete the elementary grades is forever barred from pursuing high school and college, and those who do not enroll in high school lose the opportunity to pursue college education.
Dignity damaged
Living in shanties with no space for sleeping and studying, and no convenient utilities for bathing and personal hygiene discourages children from going to school. It would take so much more effort by the mother to prepare her child for school when there is no running water and toilet, and cooking space and fuel to prepare food.
Life in the slum damages the dwellers' very humanity—their dignity, their self-worth and their social identity. It also causes ill health.
The degradation is exacerbated by the nature of employment of slum families that earn their living by scavenging from dumps and other sources of garbage or as itinerant vendors along streets where they face the risk of vehicular accidents and health hazards from air and noise pollution.
Perhaps, we have ignored the problem because we thought it to be so dauntingly massive as to require resources that are beyond our means. But we do have the resources to provide decent housing for all and build it in a decade or shorter time.
Sources of funding
The following sources of funding could be readily tapped to eradicate the slums:
- Savings from corruption
- Perennial unspent budget of the national and local governments
- Reallocation of the budget to favor housing for the poor
- More efficient collection of real estate taxes
- Adopting a progressive property tax
- Capital gains from the clearing of slum and squatter areas.
End slums in 10 years
President Aquino proudly announced that he had approved a P3-trillion budget for 2015. Simply allowing 10 percent of the current and future budgets for housing would suffice to eradicate the nation's slums in 10 years' time.
Based on casual consultations, the approximate construction cost per square meter is P20,000. A 20-sq-m apartment would cost P400,000. It would have a very small bedroom, a small bath-toilet and kitchen. There are 7.321 million slum dwellings.
Building 20-sq-m apartments would cost P2,928 billion. Spreading construction over five years would entail P586 billion. Extending the completion time to 10 years would halve the annual cost to P293 billion. The cost, if spread out over a 10-year period, would amount to less than 10 percent of the current P3-trillion budget and of all future budgets.
Prioritize Metro Manila
Priority may be given to slum clearance in Metro Manila. It would cost P305 billion to build 20-sq-m apartments. If spread over five years, the annual cost would be P61 billion.
Metro Manila earns large and increasing property tax from the rapidly developing commercial and real estates, which could readily finance slum clearance in five years with or without the help of the national government.
It is noted that in 2010-2012, less than 1 percent of the national government budget was allocated for housing. The President announced on July 12 the proposed P3-trillion national government budget for 2016 with large allocation for education and infrastructure. There was also a large increase in the budget for health. But as before, nothing was said about housing.

However, like it or not, we do tell the truth, and protect our sources to our own peril.
Just last week some anonymous person has started a Facebook page listed as fortbendstaronline. They have linked our Masthead, in brown scale, water splotched and backward. Makes one wonder, if you scroll over it backward real fast, does it displays demonic images? Nah, as pointed out in one of the comments on the page, it just reads RATS.
Yep, rats… that the best ya got? Well, RATS or STAR, we offer the reader information that we uncover about our community. It is not sugar coated, nor is it polished; it just is what it is. Anyone can find this information – it's all public and it's all at your fingertips. Wander off out there folks and see what is happening in the world around you, or just leave it to us. As you will learn, all the blabber about gossip, lies, and untruths all depends on whose ox is being gored.
That being said, to the creator of Fortbendstaronline, thank you. Spending your time and trouble to discount what we write is of the highest compliment. It confirms what we have always known. You do, in fact, read us, and we do, in fact, get right there, under your skin. You are welcome!
Now clearly, you folks who want to be us, like over there at fortbendstaronline want to be us. Really? According to your mission statement you are "Committed to righting wrongs and putting the truth in the open for all to see. Countering the unrestrained propaganda from the blue star of the east. Collaborating and coordinating to put Carter and crew out of business for good!" Well, come on! Just watch out for official oppression.
To further your agenda, let us give you credit for telling us what to do with our paper. It's not as creative as we would have offered but, thank you for spending the time to think about us. Here are some of the things fortbendstaronline listed as uses for the Fort Bend Star newspaper (the one you hold in your hand) Target practice, soak up spilled coffee, litter box lining, line a bird cage, clean a window, block out windows in your Meth Lab (really, now there is a new business venture for police type folks), grill cleaner, emergency umbrella, and our personal favorite – a piñata!
Any way you slice it, we appreciate all your time, effort and ingenuity in finding uses for the Fort Bend Star newspaper. Thank you and Happy reading – we know you are – your secret is out!

"If you're not making mistakes, then you're probably not trying anything new"
Whether we're talking about business, or about relationships, or about life in general – there are going to be times when we get things wrong. That's only human …. But it is how we recover and whether we keep moving forward that becomes a measure of our character. It is about having the humility to step back, take a deep breath and ADMIT WE WERE WRONG …… Then, if necessary, apologise and make restitution to any other people who may have been affected by our mistake.
But how can we expect to learn, grow and improve without being willing to make some mistakes and occasionally stiff-up along the way? Sure, we can spend our life walking each day down the same trodden path that we have always walked….. familiar and safe
But, then what? Do we see new sights, smell new fragrances, enjoy new and uplifting scenes by walking down the same comfortable path as always?
Do we get to meet new people who will challenge us, who will teach us and maybe inspire us to become more than who we are today? When we open ourselves up to new experiences, there will always be some risk. And that means the chance of making a mistake and things not working out the way we might have planned.
Have no fear of making a mistake!
But if we live our life based upon a fear of making a mistake – then chances are that today will be like yesterday, and that day will have been like the one before. The only way that we can live to reach our true potential is to be willing to go out and try new things. We can learn, grow and become wiser from any mistake that we make – as long as we can swallow our pride and recognise that what we've been doing just isn't working.
Let us become more child-like. Children have great perseverance. Have you seen a young child learning to walk? …. They stumble and fall over – then what do they do? ….. Do they say, "Oh, I made a mistake – that's terrible. I'd better not try that again because I'll never be able to get that right"?
Nope – they keep at it. No fear of making a mistake paralyses them from trying again Each time they try, they learn something new about balance. You had perseverance and the courage to be less than perfect when you were a child – so why not try to re-connect with those innate qualities again.
Have no fear of making a mistake …… just try not to make the same one twice! Remember, growth and self-discovery begin at the end of your comfort zone.
And when you do make a mistake – congratulate yourself if you have been bold enough to have at least tried something new and different.

It was just like any other morning show that we watch on television channels. In such shows, usually a topic is chosen about which hosts discuss with each other, and after some time, a song is played to keep the interests of viewers alive and intact. In every program, one or more guests are also invited who are asked different questions and in the same way, the program proceeds and is concluded.
That day, guests were two sportsmen who had won two medals in a game. As usual, they were appreciated and praised and different questions were asked like their advancement to the victory, their preparation, feelings after the victory and so on. When the discussion was over, a song was played. This song was very well chosen according to the situation.
Now, I don't remember who the singer was but the song was very nice one and it was about patriotism and love to the country. Especially, the video shown was something inspiring; it showed the players from the numerous sports in which our players had participated. They were shown to be playing cricket or running in football ground or doing karate and so on. And of course, most inspiring were the occasions in which players were shown collecting the medals or trophies, waving the national flag and standing still in the respect of national anthem in a huge crowd and most sentimental, crying with joy after the victory.
According to social sciences or sociology, there are different interactions or forces in a society that act on people as a whole. These can be better explained by an expert in sociology but these forces can be either positive or negative. Those news or projections that affect and make the people worried in general can be termed out to be negative. Fortunately, there are positive forces as well that can be used to enhance the image of public or masses in their own eyes and in return, keep their hopes attached and bring them together as a whole nation.
The impact or effects of such a social factor on general public or masses is very difficult to be measured or described in terms of figures. If one wants to make a single person feel better and hires the services of a psychologist or social sciences expert, we might be able to tell how much it would cost.
But how about this situation when team of a country wins a sport event and people come out on roads; celebrating, shouting and enjoying? On any such occasion, when people are interviewed, one thing emerges to be common; people are feeling very good in general, they have got more united and their feelings towards the country or countrymen have got better. It would be almost impossible to estimate if one wants to spend money to inculcate such feelings in the hearts and minds of people on such a large scale. But, a mere sport event or victory makes this impossible task possible.
It is the reason that such sports and arts activities are considered to be very important in which the whole of the masses come together and get united or something positive happens to them or whatever it is, which can be better elaborated by an expert in sociology.
Right from the history, we see that activities like wars, sports, marathons or public gatherings or funfairs or carnivals have been given due importance as on any such occasion, people used to come together to feel better and get their general feelings satisfied. This might be one of the topics of public psychology that just like an individual, masses also look for occasions in which they enjoy or feel satisfied to come together to celebrate a victory and feel important.
It is the reason why social experts always support that different sports and arts stadiums or facilities should be arranged and following this, developed countries spend billions on salaries of sports personnel or artists and on providing them with grounds, gymnasiums, art academies and so on. No doubt, sports have financial impacts as well but one may question the logic of spending such huge sums on these activities that seems to be having no direct benefit or economic gain.
As mentioned above, the impact or benefit it can have in general or on masses is such great and impressive that it justifies any kind of spending or investment. This thing can't be understood in a country or situation when one has all the facilities. In any such country, where the masses are provided with a number of grounds, stadiums, libraries, art centers and many more, people find a place so that they should exhibit their abilities or polish them and by their exhibition, draw satisfaction. Be it individual or a group, drawing satisfaction is very necessary, and if this psychological need is not addressed by a positive way or approach, people might select a negative way to meet the ends.
But more clear and drastic picture of this public psychology can be witnessed in a country where people are deprived of such facilities. In any case, people find ways to satisfy their feelings and this is done with whatever possibilities or opportunities are available at hand.
More than a decade ago, when the country had fallen into the hands of regime in which country had stopped moving forward and everything seemed to have ceased. Any kind of connection with outside world was blocked and inside the country, there existed a rude and rigid rule, that knew no flexibility and thus people were left with very limited options to be involved in any activity that might give them few moments of entertainment and when they might satisfy their psychological need of exhibiting their abilities and drawing satisfaction.
One of my observations in those days was the condition of youth that came very interesting and alarming to me. They looked as if they had nothing to do and their souls and minds had dried up and they wandered aimlessly here and there without any activity. That was a very painful and alarming situation from a social or psychological view point.
There was a small city in which population was not more than few thousands but I was surprised to see a large number of football teams and great involvement of youth or even elders in it. There were junior teams and senior teams and street clubs and many more. Then I learned that the only reason for such large involvement of people was that, people were not permitted to take part in other activities and they had this only game to take part. Even this game was also permitted with so many conditions like they could not wear shorts or shirts with English writing on them and so on.
In Lashkargah, I visited a friend of mine one day. It was summer and the day was very hot. After the lunch, we had nothing to do and topics to be discussed had also finished. Then he said that he had an activity to pass his time and at that time, many colors came on his face. He seemed excited, hesitant, shying and a bit ashamed as well. Then I followed him and we went into a basement. He closed the door and took out a tape recorder which he had hidden in a corner. Then he played cassette and looked at me and smiled.
Even today, my eyes are filled with tears when I try to imagine his situation and shying smile that how people had been deprived of having such small pleasures and how they longed for such moments of joy and pleasure. I realized that he felt himself to be very stupid to show me this thing but it was the only pleasure he had and it was his whole universe. But this was all happening!
Keeping in view the above two situations, now I realize how much important it is to spend on sports and arts and it is the reason why, they have been termed to be positive investments as they give birth to positive feelings in the general public and make them feel better. And I salute all those sportsmen who have worked hard and brought fame and name to country and made us all feel better! Really, your job could have not been done by anyone else!

According to a report from nonprofit research group Employment Policies Institute (EPI), California's plan to raise the state minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2023 will cost the blue state some 400,000 jobs. Moreover, low-paid workers will be hardest hit.
As reported by Fox News, EPI analyzed trends in employment from 1990 to 2017 to project the effect of a $15 state minimum wage. They found that with each 10% increase, California brought a corresponding 2% decline in employment. "The impact was larger, 5%, for lower-paid workers," notes Fox. "By those estimates, the EPI projects that the pending $15 minimum wage hike would cost California 400,000 private sector jobs, with heavy losses in both the foodservice and retail sectors."
Once again, the Left preaches "compassion" for the worker to create legislation that actually translates into a loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs, and an economic disaster, specifically for those they claim to care most about.
EPI said it's indisputable that "rising minimum wage has depressed employment opportunities in the most heavily-impacted industries."
The new legislation will bump minimum wage from $10.50 an hour to $11, effective January 1, 2018, for businesses with at least 26 employees. Every year until 2022, the minimum wage will increase by $1 an hour. And those small business owners with less than 26 employees will be hit, too: the minimum wage will reach $15 an hour for their employees by 2023.
We've recently seen the effects of government forced minimum wage hikes in Seattle. As reported by The Daily Wire this summer, the city's $13 minimum wage mandate led to a drop of $1,500 in income for low-wage workers. The wage hike led to employers cutting back employees' hours.
Per the National Bureau of Economic Research:
Using a variety of methods to analyze employment in all sectors paying below a specified real hourly rate, we conclude that the second wage increase to $13 reduced hours worked in low-wage jobs by around 9 percent, while hourly wages in such jobs increased by around 3 percent. Consequently, total payroll fell for such jobs, implying that the minimum wage ordinance lowered low-wage employees' earnings by an average of $125 per month in 2016. Evidence attributes more modest effects to the first wage increase. We estimate an effect of zero when analyzing employment in the restaurant industry at all wage levels, comparable to many prior studies.
In other words, the push to implement mandatory increases in minimum wage is not a win for the working man. And automation and new technology will likely compound such problems.
A new report from McKinseyGlobal Institute estimated a loss of some 73 million jobs in the U.S. by 2030, though researchers said economic growth via "rising productivity and other forces could more than offset the losses."
"In the U.S., 39 million to 73 million jobs could be destroyed, but about 20 million of those displaced workers can be shifted fairly easily into similar occupations, though they may take on slightly different tasks, the report says. That means 16 million to 54 million workers — or as much as a third of the U.S. workforce — will need to be retrained for entirely new occupations," noted USA TODAY.

Researchers and medical scientists have discovered achievement within the long term control of the spread of Human Immunodeficiency Disease (HIV) in an individualis physique through various mixtures of prescription drugs. One efficient method that researchers are employing may be the mixture of a "surprise and destroy" technique and antiretroviral treatment (ARTWORK). Nevertheless, a current research cautions the " destroy and surprise " technique used-to look for a remedy to HIV might harm an individualis mind.
In a media release on Technology Daily, a-team from Johns Hopkins University Faculty of Medication cautions the utilization of "surprise and destroy" technique to eliminate HIV tissues in the torso might harm the individualis mind. The problem's main is based on HIV cells' power to cover and stay undiscovered for lengthy amounts of time and also the utilization of the " destroy and surprise " technique.
In a " destroy and surprise " technique the hidden cells surprise or pressure become productive HIV tissues or to awaken. The HIV tissues that were today lively are subsequently murdered through numerous remedies using antiretroviral medications.
Thus lies the issue where the physicians need to ensure the today lively HIV cells become mixed up in mind or wouldn't distribute which all remnants of HIV tissues, are totally eliminate in the individual's physique. If the energetic HIV tissues spread within the mind, it must not be infected or harm by the thriving therapy to eliminate the HIV tissues.
To be able to show the effectivity of the "surprise and destroy" therapy like a remedy for HIV, the group from Johns Hopkins University contaminated three pigtailed macaques with HIVis relative, Simian Immunodeficiency Disease (SIV). Two of the macaques were shot up the SIV tissues with medicines to wake and combined these having a melanoma medication that created the apes' immune protection system . The physicians also proceed managing the macaques.
After 10 times of the mixed therapy, one horse stayed wholesome while a different one created signs of encephalitis or irritation of the mind. Based on Gama, assessments discovered additionally, it comes with an energetic SIV disease and were performed about the ill horse. The horse using encephalitis and the energetic SIV disease was killed following its situation extended to weaken.
The bloodstream in the horse that was contaminated was cautiously eliminated in order to not ruin the mind. The group from Johns Hopkins University discovered the SIV disease was still-active about the horseis brain — but just about the brain's cortex part. Gama stated that the tank within the mind was therefore little it was nearly skipped by the group.
The outcomes of the research printed within the Jan. 2 problem of the diary proves that even though research was performed on macaques, there's probable inference the same sometimes happens with individual HIV sufferers. The physicians advise that the additional provision should be to make sure that when the " destroy and surprise " technique can be used, all of the HIV tissues, inactive or whether energetic, all should be eliminated in the body.

Starting next week, Europe will cast their votes in one of the hottest elections in the continent this year: Electing what web browser they should use on their PCs.
After the European Commission forced Microsoft to let the people choose their web browser instead of putting Internet Explorer by default, all Windows-based computers in Europe will be alerted about an important decision. The PC screens would display a decision making assistant featuring 12 web browsers, first displaying at random the top five browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera, and IE. Each choice provides more information about the browser, just in case users still need to weigh in the pros and cons of each decision.
The browser elections will first be held in United Kingdom, Belgium, and France, while the rest of Europe would have to cast their votes on March 1.

Hi Heaven. Nice to meet you.
I love the store Intermix. I love a woman who works there named Amanda. Here's why….
You're in Intermix shopping. You're loving all the items you're picking out. You're sure Rachel Zoe would categorize you as "shutting it down" if she saw you walking down Robertson in these clothes. Amanda comes up, she gets you a fitting room and asks how she can help. She takes note of what you've picked out so far, without judgment, but gently starts steering the fashion bus without you even knowing. Here's how it goes down:
Amanda: "You know we have those shorts in black and they'd be great on you, one size down"
Me (also Amanda, cute): " Oh, very sweet but I think the pink ones are cute and sure this is my size" (Mind thinking: while trying on shorts lacks the deep pain of trying on a bikini, I would rather not put on ass tight shorts and remind myself how much I hate my thighs. This Amanda girl is trying to harm me. I won't have it.)
Amanda: "You know what, I'll throw them in the room with a couple other things and just see what you think."
Me: "Thanks. You're so sweet." (Mind: you're such a bitch.)
Turns out, the pink shorts were heinous and the black shorts were perfect and made me feel cute and a size smaller than my actual size. She also suggested a jumper that I want live my entire life wearing, as well as two perfect tops. One of which is this Nation tee, that I'm not sure how I ever lived without.
Which leads me to today's gift recommendation…I see that Intermix now makes this tee in two additional colors (originally it only came in white). It's adorable with different color tanks underneath and soft as an angel face. It's worth buying for any girl who wants to live in complete coziness, all the while, looking effortlessly so hip.
Well played, Amanda, well played.

How to Select the Right SUV
When you are not aware about what you must be looking for, then selecting the right mid-sized SUV can be a bit of a challenge. The first thing that you can do is to take account your needs first when you would look for an SUV. Do you have a big family, do those kids have several equipment and games? Do you travel regularly or go for carpool? Are you driving on the street often? You should know that you are going to use the SUV for a number of purposes and when you know these things, then you will be able to narrow down the options.
A good mid-sized SUV must have a rear drive, four-wheel drives, front drive or the all-wheel drive. The vehicle must be able to handle different kinds of weather. This should also be able to handle any cargo requirements which you have. It must also have various safety features such as the side air bags, the antilock brakes and also the anti-skid system, such roll over sensors as well as park assist.
You need to take into account the driving terrain. Whether you drive off roads or on snow, go for street driving and others, the mid-sized SUV which you opt for should be able to fit the requirements you have. The vehicle which is great for snow would be an SUV. Such four-wheel drive is a great choice for off-roading and rear drive or the front drive is a fantastic option for street driving, click here to get started!
Such mid-sized SUV can provide different fantastic aspects like a huge cargo room, multi-passenger space and also 6-8 cylinder engines. This is really a great choice for the outdoor activities and they are great for big families too and there are those that can seat up to eight passengers.
There are various models which you can find out there that come from popular and trusted brands. The SUV was actually based off on the truck frame but this was too bulky so the manufacturer them moved to the car like frame to have better maneuverability and mobility. For customers which like to haul things, then it is a fantastic choice to have an SUV which is more built just like the truck and for those who want a car like feel then the car-like framed model is the way to go. To understand more about SUV, visit http://www.ehow.com/list_5853000_advantages-having-suv.html.
It is very important that you choose the vehicle which is able to support the requirements that you have and also the budget that you are willing to spend. With this, you can get the right SUV that you are looking for. Moreover, when you are interested about the car finance solution, then there is no problem with this when you are sure that you are really qualified.

text: To start the semester productively the "Global Business Management registered society" organized a workshop on 14th October 2017 regarding its public relations activities. The main purpose was to broaden the level of awareness of the bachelor program "Global Business Management". In order to provide professional support Anders Mertzlufft, director of Hill+Knowlton Strategies, made his way to Augsburg and chaired the workshop. The board members and a group of voluntaries brainstormed ideas and defined the next steps that had to be taken in order to reach the aim. To highlight some examples, they produced an action plan for some social media campaigns and agreed to create an image film. Especially Mr. Mertzlufft's qualifications and expert knowledge made the day a great success.

I read today that a station was using 400 watts on WSPR. Why?
Jay - VE3SWS wrote on wsprnet.org:
Hahahaha - that's funny - maybe more pathetic. I get 14,000+ km reports on 20 meter WSPR with 100 mW! On the other hand, I do use 2757 watts ERP occasionally on 2 meter WSPR, but that's a whole different animal. I have actually found that if you use too much power on HF, the signal is over-driven and not able to be decoded anyway. Never mind the fact that usually the over driven signal is splattering the hell out of everything within 2.5 Kcs and ruining the experience for other hams.
Same thing on JT65HF though. Some macho guys using 80 watts or more and desensitise the whole JT65 band. And, for what ever reason, they still don't realize their distorted signal cannot be decoded. Still too much "10-4 Good Buddy" mentality out there - More power is not always more distance. Sometimes more power is NO distance because their data is not decode-able. These guys should just put some echo and a roger beep on their WSPR And JT65HF signals - it would perform just about as well.
I thought: maybe 1 watt tonight and the audio almost down, and see where I am reported tonight. Well, I was very surprised to see this results.

The stupidity of Dakka Dakka YMDC
A lot of people are saying that sixth edition has the best rules yet and that they were actually professionally edited. But still there will always be a lot of people that like to cry how bad are GW rules in general so they can try to break them. Here is a perfectly good example... this idiot is saying that a Mawloc can attack a flier while it is in zoom mode...

Georg Baselitz
Städel Museum
Among the works in the exhibition "The Heroes" was The Modern Painter, 1965, showing a male figure against a light background, some brushes sticking out of his backpack. This painter, however, is not able to paint, since both his hands are stuck in traps on the ground. He is one of the many handicapped heroes that Georg Baselitz painted in the series known as "The Heroes" or "The New Types," in 1965–66, when he was in his late twenties. Forty of them were on display in this exhibition, together with thirty drawings from the same era.
These hero-painters are survivors of battle. Lonely and disoriented wounded warriors, dressed in ragged uniforms or shabby civilian clothes, they wander through a bleak postwar landscape. Blocked Painter, 1965, is missing one leg; he rests on a stick and leans against a tree while holding his palette and brush. A bloodred flag appears in several

Ever have one of those moments when you remember someone from your childhood and think, "Gee, I wonder what ever happened to…"
That was me, last night. I wondered whatever happened to my neighbor Aaron. So I did what EVERYONE does, I Googled him.
Aaron J. Washington* … let's see what you are up to today…
Back when I knew Aaron I was the noisy little neighbor next door practicing stellar moves on roller skates, singing along to my favorite boy band tape in my knock-off Walkman (DURAN DURAN baby)! Aaron was always tinkering with bikes, listening to heavy metal music. He was the first boy aside from a family member who told me I was cute.
Yes, believe me, he was just being nice.
So, I hop onto Google and I enter the information I know and BAM up comes info on Aaron. Today, he's Aaron the farmer. A farmer! And boy has he changed. His is successful, and happy, and feeding those in need thanks to a vegetable he's developed that grows rapidly, is extremely nutritious, and can be planted in areas that are prone to drought.
And there was that face that I remember.
Smiling back at me.
Only thing is I woke up.
I told you a few weeks back that I have always been a dreamer. We are talking vivid dreams that sometimes are so jumbled that they make absolutely no sense (being able to see with my eyes closed). Sometimes they are so real that they wake me right up.
And that's exactly what happened. Aaron is not a farmer. Aaron never got to grow up and raise a family. We never got to see his success. Aaron never made it past 1990. In fact, December marks the anniversary of his untimely death.
What happened? He was with his friends watching football. Someone else stopped by and was showing off an antique firearm. A petite thing. But a gun is a gun is a gun, and size aside, it went off. And Aaron's life was cut short in a small town, in the middle of New York State, far away from big cities and major crimes.
Fast forward to yesterday: San Bernardino, Calif.
I couldn't even bring myself to read past the headline.
Mass shooting. At least 14 dead. And the kicker — it was the 355th mass shooting THIS YEAR!!!
This happened at a place that, although was way out on the West Coast, hit close to home. The shooting happened at an organization that helps families like ours. It was an organization that helped the developmentally disabled.
So what can we do? There is no easy solution. This violence has become such a common place that this issue needs to be attacked on a variety of levels. Although this is a good start, especially the information on page 2.
And we can ALL do this: hold our elected officials accountable.
This HUFF POST article makes it super easy.
Do it today. Do it NOW. Do it for tomorrow.
Until next time…
PS. I think Aaron came to me last night as if to say I needed to speak up. I know he would want me to, and his family would agree. BTW, Aaron is not his real name.

MalTweeted #3 :When you're new to Twitter, any new follower is a fun surprise
I had my Twitter account for a long time and didn't do much with it. Even so, I've gotten emails over time that so and so was following me on Twitter and since I wrote nothing, what could they be following? Still, it seemed a little flattering and it made me feel guilty wondering what these unknown people were looking for.
In the last week or so, since I've started looking for people of interest to me, I've had a great time myself finding interesting people to follow. I don't mind at all if they seldom update their Tweets, I'd be happy to hear anything at all they have to say. I'm fascinated by the news organizations and their short posts, and by those who can convey thoughts effectively in the 140 characters allowed by Twitter. It is not easy to do.
I made up the name of my Follower here, but it came to me in a flash yesterday morning. I haven't "met" anyone with quite that name, but many people have that sort of name or spirit, that's for sure. I've enjoyed seeing what "screen names" and "character names" people come up with since way back in the early 90s when my husband and I played a Trivial Pursuit competion against other players on the now long defunct Delphi Internet Services. I still have my "U Belong on Delphi" T-shirt.
Thanks for the Follow!

If you're looking to update an existing backsplash or install a brand new one, as well as your goal is to build a unique, eye-catching design to your kitchen, you should explore a variety of White Brick Backsplash In Kitchen ideas for inspiration.
Luckily, many homeowners have trod this path already and installed cool and artistic kitchen backsplashes you can source ideas from, in order that your kitchen area backsplash would have been a visually stunning conversation piece for many years.
White Brick Backsplash In Kitchen

When you are looking at cool backsplash ideas, the first step is to consider whether you desire your backsplash design to match your overall kitchen design or provide a style departure of sorts. If you're considering an exceptional design, there may be portions of the backsplash that connect with the overall kitchen design—for example, colors and textures which can be found elsewhere within the space—but it's likely that the general style might be a singular expression of style from the kitchen.
There are almost infinite options when looking at setting up a cool kitchen backsplash (and lastly, every homeowner's concise explaination "cool" will change). Many homeowners seeking a creative design will pinpoint the backsplash as an chance of artistic expression. If this approach appeals to you, there are lots of solutions to approach the look, coming from a assortment of found objects (these include anything from bottle caps to old gift cards—basically anything durable that can continue with the wall and wipe clean easily) to your mural of tiles depicting anything from your street scene with a classic computer game level to a renaissance-style painting.

If artistic expression doesn't fall into line with your notion of a very good backsplash, you may want to consider some non-traditional materials, and even traditional ones in unique textures and colors. For example, stainless-steel, copper and tin backsplashes can be found in colors and patterns that could lend a very stunning visual aspect to any kitchen design. Granite as well as ceramic tile might be scored, manipulated and colored in your exact specifications via tile specialty retailers. And some homeowners even opt for wood backsplashes, that may of course be stained and painted to reflect precisely the right amount of cool to suit your style.
When you decide about the style for the cool kitchen backsplash, you need to see how much material you'll need. You can do this by measuring the counter area you need to cover—likely anywhere from the small portion for the entirety from the walls between your kitchen area's countertops and cabinets—and then sourcing the square footage of material needed to cover that surface. For almost any type of tile, wood or metal backsplash, any local home improvement center or tile specialty store should offer an array of options.

After settling on the scope with the backsplash, you'll must evaluate if you'll set it up yourself (this may require considerable do-it-yourself expertise, some time to hard work), or have a professional install your cool new kitchen backsplash.

Click below for a leisurely visit to the land of my heart and soul – North Yorkshire, England
I haven't got a lot of words today. It's very hot here and I'm just thankful I have two working air-conditioning units. I'm getting fearful that the earth is heating up too much and that we will all just sizzle up soon and blow away. I hope I don't live to see that – or feel that! What have we done?
In happier times, back in 2002, which was the last time we visited England, the above photos were taken (this is just one of five albums of this trip I have at Webshots). I love that I can just click and visit this most splendid of places anytime I want from the comfort of my desk. Being there would be best, of course, but must face facts. We're stuck here for now.
On this particular trip, we invited my friend "Sandy from Iowa" to come along with us, and we all had a fabulous visit. Thank goodness for memories, huh, Sandy?
Here are some more photos from the same trip:
