Searching for freshly-brewed content for binge-watching purposes? Look no further!
Keeping with the trend, in August, a host of new series, films and documentary features are releasing on Netflix, ensuring that all you loyal viewers don't run out of engaging streaming titles. From a docuseries about a death-row inmate to animated series like 'Disenchantment' and 'Paradise PD', the line-up for the month is pretty interesting, to say the least.
For those who are looking forward to some off-beat yet high-on-entertainment streaming content, though, this weekend has something special in store. As it turns out, at least three new titles - including two Netflix films and one original documentary short - will be debuting on the streaming platform this Friday, the 10th. Whatever the mood be, there's something for everyone - here's an exclusive lowdown of the three films/documentaries that are coming to Netflix this Friday.
Not had the best of days but fortunately watched the delightful and charming The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. It's good old fashioned romance. Now in better spirits thanks to Michiel Huisman.pic.twitter.com/a91eu4HN24— Elizabeth Costello (@ElizabethC50) August 1, 2018
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
Starring Lily James, Michiel Huisman, Jessica Brown-Findlay, Glen Powell, and Matthew Goode, 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society' - based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows - is the latest movie from director Mike Newell (of fame 'Four Weddings and a Funeral', 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire').
The film follows James, who plays a free-spirited writer, Juliet Ashton, who forms a life-changing bond with the delightful and eccentric Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, when she decides to write about the book club they formed during the occupation of Guernsey in WWII. Paula Mazur, Mitchell Kaplan, Graham Broadbent, Peter Czernin are serving as producers.
The Package
Directed by Jake Szymanski from a script by Kevin Burrows and Matt Mider 'The Package' promises to pack on some teenage drama and loads of entertainment with a leading cast of Daniel Doheny, Geraldine Viswanathan, Sadie Calvano, Luke Spencer Roberts, Eduardo Franco, Michael Eklund, Gary Jones, Alexander Calvert, Sugar Lyn Beard, and Blake Anderson.
"When five teens go on a spring break camping trip, an unfortunate accident sets off a race against time to save their friend's most prized possession."
Directed by Floyd Russ and produced by Carter Collins, 'Zion' is an original Netflix docu short that premiered at Sundance. Painting a gripping portrait of Zion Clark, the feature revolves around the young wrestler born without legs who grew up in foster care.
Zion Clark, you are a true inspiration 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 pic.twitter.com/B64xFFumLy— Strong Black Lead (@strongblacklead) August 7, 2018
"Clark began wrestling in second grade against his able-bodied peers. The physical challenge became a therapeutic outlet and gave him a sense of family. Moving from foster home to foster home, wrestling became the only constant thing in his childhood."

PETER Gilchrist came out on top of an all-Teesside final in the European Open Billiards Championship.
The Middlesbrough player overcame Billy Bousfield from Stockton 1057-440.
With the regular Teesside EBOS players Chris Shutt, Paul Bennett and John Hartley all absent, Singapore-based Gilchrist and Bousfield were the only two Teessiders in the competition.
After qualifying through their group stages, the last 16 draw saw Bousfield up against Lincoln's Rob Hall in a two-hour game. In a low-scoring encounter, breaks of 68 and 60 were enough to put Billy through 612-338.
Gilchrist was in unstoppable form, as breaks of 619, 241, 56 and 232 unfinished helped him to a massive total of 1536, with opponent Michael Wright back on 243.
Amazingly however, it was Wright who finished the game the happiest, after winning the EBOS bonus prize of #500, for making the first ten shot of the series during this match.
The quarter-finals saw Gilchrist beat Paul Dunning 1081-318, with breaks of 254, 219, 110 and 75 from the former, while his opponent made 73 and 53.
Bousfield was up against one of the game's slowest players, Aiden Murray from the Republic of Ireland, and came through to win 341-336.
The semi-finals saw Gilchrist against former professional David Sneddon from Scotland and, in another one-sided game, breaks of 342, 184, 149, 137, 97 and 78 helped him to a 1624-290 victory.
Next Bousfield was up against Martin Goodwill, and made a good start with a break of 155.
A late break of 160 from Goodwill made for an exciting finish, but Billy held on to win 527-500.
As had been the case throughout the week, Gilchrist wasn't challenged in the final, and breaks of 204, 126, 124, 106, 72, 69, 59 and 53 helped him take the #400 first prize. Bousfield managed breaks of 73 and 72.
It is hoped that the event will be held in Glasgow next year, alongside the European Under-19 Snooker championships.

Conservative Abdo Benitez wins Paraguay presidency
Paraguay's Mario Abdo Benitez, who represents the country's long-dominant Colorado conservatives, has been elected president, landing the top job in one of Latin America's poorest countries.
The US-educated son of a senior aide to late dictator Alfredo Stroessner won slightly more than 46 percent of the vote, with his centrist opponent Efrain Alegre taking almost 43 percent in a race that was far closer than expected.
Abdo Benitez, 46, is succeeding the outgoing conservative President Horacio Cartes.
Despite a slow start, turnout stood at 65 percent by the time polling stations closed at 4:00 p.m. (2000 GMT). As the counting got underway, it quickly became clear the race would be much closer than expected.
Landlocked Paraguay — sandwiched between Argentina, Bolivia and Brazil — has enjoyed consistent economic growth under tobacco magnate Cartes, but has failed to shake off persistent poverty, corruption and drug trafficking.
It remains a land of contrasts, still marked by the 1954-1989 dictatorship of General Stroessner.
However, a new generation of voters among the electorate of 4.2 million — born after the dictatorship responsible for the deaths or disappearances of up to 3,000 people — seems ready to look to the future.
In Paraguay, 43 percent of the population is aged between 18 and 34.
Ahead of the vote, Abdo Benitez appeared confident that his background would not affect his chances.
"I have earned my democratic credentials on my political journey," he said.
But Alegre had banked on people voting for change after almost 70 years of dominance by the ruling Colorado party.
Voters also cast their ballots for a new parliament and governors of the country's 17 departments.
Abdo Benitez, who goes by the nickname "Marito," has pledged to reform the judicial system to render it less prone to corruption, but to maintain Cartes' economic policy.
Alegre, the outsider at the head of the centrist GANAR alliance, had offered free health care for the poor and to slash the cost of electricity to stimulate investment and jobs.
But the only time the country had a president who did not come from the Colorado party was in 2008-2012, when former Catholic bishop Fernando Lugo ruled.

Atropos the Bane is an intelligence hero whose main benefit lies in his ability to gank.
He is a very level-dependant hero and therefore a viable choice for mid lane. His presence on the battlefield keeps the enemy glancing over their shoulders continuously, as a ghostly appearance by him means certain death.
His first skill Enfeeble is a single-target ability that will reduce an enemy's attack damage by 100 for a 20-second duration. This damage reduction is a static amount and will take items into account.
His second skill Brain Sap is also a single-target ability that will absorb 300 hit-points (hp) from an enemy target. This damage is pure in nature and will give Bane 300 hp regardless of how much health the target has.
Nightmare, his third skill, is yet another single-target ability that will sleep an enemy or ally unit for 7 seconds. While sleeping, these units will take 20 damage per second and if attacked while sleeping, the attacker will then be forced into a slumber instead of the initial target. On the other hand, using magical spells against the Nightmare target will deal damage and wake up the sleeping target, but will not send the attacker into a state of slumber. As you can imagine, denying an ally or even yourself with this spell can be very useful.
Bane's ultimate Fiend's Grip is, yes you guessed it correctly, another single-target ability. This is a channelling spell that will lock an enemy in place for 5 seconds. During these 5 seconds, Bane will deal 215 damage per second as well as steal 5% of their maximum mana per second. The disable and mana drain will work through magic immunity, but the damage will not.
Aghanim's Scepter can be picked up by Bane and it will buff his ultimate by extending the duration from 5 seconds to 6, increasing the damage per second from 215 to 270 and also increasing the mana drain from 5% of enemy's maximum mana to 10%.
Bane is a hero who is more than capable of handling half of the enemy team all by himself, to an extent of course. The sheer amount of disables and debuffs at his disposal, not to mention an ability to leech life off his target, is something that makes him a popular choice in competitive games. A little bit of caution for you though, unlocking the true potential of Bane requires some pretty quick thinking and even quicker finger work. You need to be well aware of the timing of the abilities as a miscalculation can pretty much strip you of the strong advantage that you may have been enjoying during the battle. Keeping all this in mind, I strongly recommend Bane for intermediate players.

Overstock 'happy' to assist Biovail lawsuit
Date: Tuesday, February 28, 2006
Author: LEONARD ZEHR AND PAUL WALDIE - Globe & Mail
Biovail Corp.'s lawsuit against a Wall Street hedge fund was driven by a "wealth of information" it received from an Internet retailer, which also claims it was a victim of short sellers of its stock, and three former employees of an Arizona securities research firm.
"Biovail lawyers called us about our lawsuit against Gradient [Analytics Inc.] and how we put it together," said Jonathan Johnson, senior vice-president of legal affairs for Overstock.com of Salt Lake City. "We showed them the affidavits we had from three former employees of Gradient. Biovail contacted the three former employees and obtained a wealth of information from them just as we did."
Mississauga-based Biovail last week accused U.S. hedge fund SAC Capital Management LLC and other companies and individuals of orchestrating an alleged scheme of market manipulation and misinformation that helped drive down its stock price several years ago. It is seeking damages of $4.6-billion (U.S.). None of the allegations have been proven in court.
A common link in the Biovail and Overstock.com lawsuits is Gradient, a Scottsdale, Ariz.-based securities research firm. It has been accused of generating negative reports at the request of hedge funds that specialize in short-selling strategies, which profit from a drop in a target's stock price.
Gradient has previously denied the allegations, calling the charges "false and malicious," and claimed Biovail and Overstock.com had used dubious accounting practices to inflate results.
"We have a common interest with Biovail in that we both think Gradient has broken the law," Mr. Johnson said.
Mr. Johnson said Biovail contacted Overstock.com shortly after it sued Gradient last August. "Our attorneys have been working independent of theirs, but when they've asked us for leads, we've been more than happy to provide them."
In its lawsuit against Gradient and U.S. hedge fund Rocker Partners LP, Overstock.com included declarations from three former employees of the research firm. All three alleged Gradient worked closely with some clients and tailored research reports to suit their suggestions.
"In the writing of these negative research reports, it was the common business practice of [Gradient] to discuss in advance of publications, drafts of these reports with the customer that had requested the reports," alleged Daryl Smith, who worked at Gradient from 2002 to 2003.
Another former employee, Robert Ballash, alleged that Gradient, formerly known as Camelback Research Alliance, said in its promotional material that customers had the opportunity to "influence the reports," according to his declaration.
Biovail was not required under New Jersey law, where it filed its statement of claim, to include affidavits from the former Gradient employees. However, the drug maker claims to have additional witnesses and e-mail evidence to support its claim.
Gradient is also being investigated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In a bizarre twist yesterday, the SEC backed down on subpoenas it sent to two reporters seeking documents related to an investigation of Gradient. The withdrawal of the subpoenas came after a rare admonishment of SEC staff by commission chairman, Christopher Cox.
"The issuance of a subpoena to a journalist which seeks to compel production of his or her notes and records of conversations with sources is highly unusual," Mr. Cox said in a statement.
Mr. Cox told Bloomberg News he plans to hold a meeting of commissioners within a few days to consider when it is appropriate to subpoena journalists. One of the reporters who received the subpoena confirmed yesterday that it had been withdrawn.
"But bottom line is that I'm no longer being asked to provide the SEC all of my "unpublished" communications, including e-mails and phone records, between me and people and organizations," said Herbert Greenberg, a columnist for Dow Jones' MarketWatch.com. Mr. Greenberg referred a request for an interview to lawyers for Dow Jones.

One year of RTI: Success stories

One year of RTI: Success stories
Oct 11, 2006 13:53 IST
In Haryana
A 70-old-woman gained access to files regarding pension and other benefits of her dead son — a Delhi Police constable who died in a road accident five years ago. Laxmi Devi of Bhiwani district had appealed to the Central Information Commission for access to notings in files pertaining to her son's terminal benefits worth Rs 4 lakh. Laxmi was penniless after her son Anoop Singh's death. Her daughter-in-law was drawing pension even after her remarriage in August 2005, Laxmi Devi told the panel.
In Karnataka
It was a unique combination of the right to information and the right to food. Villagers received their quota of ration through the Public Distribution System after villagers of Channagiri Taluka forced authorities to conduct public hearings to redress their grievances by filing RTI petitions. The villagers were not getting wheat for Rs 2 and rice at Rs 3 as announced by the state government.
In Mumbai
A resident of Borivili, Devraj Roy, filed an application under RTI asking for information about various projects announced by the Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation. He found that most of the schemes were either on paper or had progressed marginally. But the officials had spent Rs 36 crore on hotel accommodation and in air-fare to foreign destinations. It jolted the officials.
In Delhi
The government cut a sorry figure when RTI activist Shekhar Singh moved the CIC demanding information on how far the government had progressed in granting 20 per cent reservation to students from the economically weaker section in private schools.
The CIC said the government had failed to furnish "full information" on 40 applications.

Accounts receivable loans have become popular with small businesses looking to smooth their cash flow. But the truth is, this type of financing offers other benefits for your small business, too. When you have enough working capital, you can pay your bills efficiently. Readily available cash also lets you grab new opportunities before they get away.
In an article for the Houston Business Journal, Mie-Yun Lee explains. "You've landed a big client. Before you can get paid though, you need to deliver the goods. But how can you do so if you don't have the money to hire the people or buy the equipment to attain your goal? Ill-timed cash flow is a problem businesses face everywhere."
Barry Moltz puts it more bluntly. "All companies go out of business for the same reason: They run out of cash." As an entrepreneur and business coach, he knows first-hand what you're up against. As small business lending experts, our team here at United Capital Source (UCS) can coach and assist you in the art of smart business financing. That includes using A/R loans to build your business and nurture your own entrepreneurship dream.
Wouldn't it be nice if your patients and insurers paid their bills right away? If you didn't have to shell out big money now for inventory you won't sell for months? Sure, those things would be nice. But that's not the nature of business. Especially for small businesses, cash flow is an ongoing concern. Lack of cash can force you into debt. And make it a lot tougher to grow your business.
Your revenue may look great on paper. You're racking up sales right and left. The problem is getting that money into your bank account. Having a lot of receivables may make you feel good, but you can't spend it. It's in limbo – functionally, it doesn't even exist. And the more time you spend trying to collect the money, the more you whittle away at your profit margin.
That's where accounts receivable loans come into play.
You might have heard accounts receivable loans are a last resort. Only small businesses desperate for cash would consider such a thing. Not true! It is very difficult for small businesses to obtain traditional bank loans. And large, long-term business loans are not the best solution to every financial need. Today, A/R loans have emerged as a practical, convenient alternative. They have gone mainstream.
In a nutshell, you are selling an existing business asset – your unpaid invoices, or receivables — to a third party. You get money right away. Accounts receivable lenders are called factors because they discount, or factor, the dollar amount of your receivables. They pay you most of the face value at the time of your agreement. When they collect payment from your customers, they pay you the remainder, less a percentage. That's their fee. It's like interest on a traditional loan.
Because you get your money right away, you can use it now rather than waiting 30, 60, even 90 days for payment. You're trading a percentage of revenue for predictability. Yes, you lose a little income. But the ability to plan and forecast boosts your ability to grow. You know you'll have the money to pay for unplanned expenses as well as daily operations costs. Predictability can be a big relief if your business is seasonal, to carry you smoothly through sales ups and downs.
Consider a similar funding product
A Merchant cash advance is a similar program. It works a bit differently. With an A/R loan, the money you receive is based on existing receivables. With a merchant cash advance, the money is based on future credit card receivables. Instead of collecting payment from your customers, your lender collects on your future sales. That amount is determined by two things:
- The factor rate – the total amount your lender will take (the amount you're borrowing)
- The retrieval rate – the percentage of each sale they will collect (the higher the percentage, the faster your advance will be paid off)
You can do almost anything with the money. That flexibility is your best friend, because your small business is not exactly like any other. You might need cash for operations expenses. Or you might want to:
- Hire more people
- Buy more supplies or inventory
- Increase marketing
- Expand your business
- Serve more patients, serve more meals or service more accounts
My point is, instead of worrying about paying your bills, you can focus on making your business dreams a reality.
Small businesses have a great advantage over the Big Boys. Agility. The bigger the business, the more cumbersome decision-making and execution become. As a small business owner or entrepreneur, you can move quickly. You can fix problems before they get out of hand. And you can snap up last-minute opportunities. But you can't do any of that without money. "Hold that thought while I apply for a loan," doesn't cut it.
By improving your cash flow, you can:
- Shorten your business cycle. That's the period of time between making a sale and receiving payment. The shorter this time, the faster you can plow money back into your business. That's how you grow.
- Make more sales. You can offer customers better terms as an incentive to buy and still get your money up front. Or you can finally land that really big account. Large businesses can be slow to pay, which makes it nearly impossible to trade with them as a small business. You can't afford to extend that kind of credit. Factoring irons out that wrinkle, opening new doors to expand your business.
- Save money. Your bottom line benefits when you save money, just like it does when you increase revenue. If you can pay your suppliers up front or faster than standard, say within 10 days, they are likely to give you a discount. With consistent cash flow, you can take advantage of this benefit. (Your vendors will also be happy to give you a good credit reference, because you're benefiting them, too. Just like you, they don't have to wait around for payment.)
- Save time. As I said earlier, factoring takes the burden of collection off your shoulders. Just think what you could do with that time!
An option for less than perfect credit
- Boost your credit rating and overall financial status. It's easy to develop bad credit when you can't pay your bills on time, all the time
- Accounts receivable loans keep you on track. No more worries about paying your vendors. Or paying your people. It's easier to pay off existing loans or other debt, further improving your financial picture. And since A/R factoring isn't considered a "loan," there's no debt to show on your balance sheet. When the time comes to apply for a traditional long-term loan, you'll look good to potential lenders.
And speaking of credit, accounts receivable loans are a great alternative if your business credit isn't so hot. Factors don't have to worry whether you'll pay them back. However, they do want to be confident your customers or patients will pay their bills.
Factoring is a quick way to generate cash, whether you're in a financial pinch or looking to smooth longer-term cash flow. Our UCS experts can help you secure the best factor for your business in just a few days.
Not all lenders are the same. That goes for factoring companies, too. Before you pick one, you should:
- Decide if you want to factor all or just some of your invoices.
- Find out how they will collect from your customers. They are collecting on your behalf. That's a good thing, in that your customers or patients won't know you sold their invoice. But the process will reflect on you. Your clientele probably will not appreciate heavy-handed tactics.
- After all, you want the best deal you can get. But don't agree to an exclusive engagement. Then you're stuck with someone who may not be your best choice in the future.
This can be a lot of work. It can be time-consuming. And it certainly can be confusing. You know what's a lot easier? Teaming up with our folks at United Capital Source. We've already done the work. We know many factoring companies. Which ones work best with which types of small businesses. Which one will be the best match for you. We aren't beholden to any of them, so that "best match" is an unbiased recommendation.
That's what sets us apart from other online, alternative lending resources. We know that business success is based on long-term relationships, not one-off sales. So we don't focus on making the deal. We focus on establishing and nurturing relationships with small businesses. That way we can help you get the best accounts receivable loan now and help you choose other forms of financing to grow your business in the future.
On your cash flow, that is . . .
Any small business can suffer from insufficient cash flow. But medical practices are among the most vulnerable. The Medical Group Management Association says the average practice in America fails to collect a whopping 25% of money owed for patient treatment. If you're a doctor, dentist or other medical professional, you know you're losing out on direct payments. But denials also damage your cash flow. And so do claims that fall by the wayside. Accounts receivable loans can treat these financial problems effectively.
If your cash flow is not sufficient, frustration and worry set in. It can be tempting to delay making payments to "stretch" the cash you do have. This is a risky business. If you do it rarely – to cover a one-time shortage, for instance – you can get back on track. But what happens if you do it too often? Or let payments slide too far in arrears? You'll damage your business credit. You have replaced one problem with another. Or perhaps merely piled a second problem on top of the original.
Don't run out of cash
I quoted Barry Moltz at the beginning of this article. He says small businesses run out of cash due to poor receivables management. The National Federation of Independent Business agrees. "A business can survive indefinitely if it doesn't run out of cash, but without cash it can remain open only weeks or months regardless of how profitable it might be on paper. Many businesses have appeared profitable on paper right up until the time they were forced to close because of a shortage of cash." I cannot stress this point too much.
There's no doubt accounts receivable loans can benefit your small business. But you want to use them as a money management tool, not a crutch. Accounting giant QuickBooks notes that "companies that can't collect payments from their customers are forced to draw from their cash reserves or seek outside financing to make ends meet. As a result, owners have less cash on hand to manage operations, pay employees and ultimately grow their businesses."
Do everything you can to manage your receivables more effectively. "The fact is that cash flow is a crucial element of overall financial performance," notes QuickBooks. "Managing your accounts receivable well doesn't just keep your business running smoothly from day to day, it also helps ensure a long and profitable future for your company."

Today it is the Spring equinox so no matter where you are on Earth, if you watch the sunrise or sunset on March 20, you will be gazing due east or due west. So it marks a single time for this equinox as noted from a whole-Earth perspective – when the sun stands directly overhead as seen from Earth's equator. Spring is now officially here!
It was a full moon this week, on the 16th March to be precise. A full moon is a great time to conceive new ideas, and to start to make a change. I am a true believer in going outside, enjoying the fresh air, feeling the breeze on your face or hearing the sea. Positive happiness can be instantly created by getting back to nature, connecting to the seasons, eating seasonal fruit and veg and most of all stepping away from technology. The faster we connect the more we disconnect. So I stepped outside last evening to really look at the moon.
I discovered that each month the moon has a different name, in March it is known as Sap Moon. You can even live by the moon and it's cycles by connecting it to your google calendar.
The New Moon
As the Moon phases move from new to full, the Moon appears to get bigger and brighter. This period is called "waxing", and is the most fertile time in the Moon's cycle. It's a great time to try and get pregnant, but if babies aren't on your list, it's also a fantastic time to create and conceive of new projects.
In Kundalini yoga, they say that the New Moon is the time when we have the lowest energy levels. Yogi Bhajan recommends fasting on water and lemon on this day.
The New Moon is the absolute best time to write a list of goals or things you'd like to manifest. Read it aloud to yourself, light a candle and then put the list under a mirror. It's nice to do this in a space where you know your list won't be disturbed, if possible.
The Crescent Moon
The Crescent Moon corresponds with Gemini, so think of your favourite Gemini and some of their most positive attributes! Geminis have active minds and love to think on many levels at once. They're popular, avid readers, and excel in many things. During the Crescent Moon, act like a Gemini! Bring new things, people and relationships into your life, and focus on accelerating the progress of any projects you're working on.
As the Moon builds up to be full, manifesting power increases as well as personal energy. If you want to manifest like a badass, intention is key. Great intentions are a combination of focus, attitude, and energy, and this is one of the best articles I've read on how to kill it with your intention! Once you've read that, see how you can add intention to the list you made during the New Moon.
The First Quarter
The First Quarter corresponds with Cancer. If you know any Cancers, you're tuned into the fact that they can be emotional but are also excellent planners. You might be feeling the same way.
This is a time to be ambitious, and to think about what you're building. At the Crescent Moon you added intention to your list; during the First Quarter you should make an action plan to help capitalise on your manifesting power. You can't manifest by just sitting on your booty and thinking about it. It is essential to take action and make forward strides!
The Gibbous Moon
The Gibbous Moon occurs three days before the Full Moon, which is the time of fruition. You can increase your ability to actually receive what you've manifested by visualising it happening. Grab your list, read it, sit down with it, and then close your eyes to envision those things happening for you. Creative visualisation is immensely powerful. Hey, if it works for Olympic athletes, why not for you?!
Even though the Full Moon is just around the corner, that doesn't mean you go rushing around at full speed, ignoring everyone around you. On the contrary: the Gibbous Moon is a time to be constructive, caring and to help others. What goes around comes around, after all. The Gibbous Moon is linked to the sign of Virgo, which naturally wants to be of service and to help the world. Think like a Virgo!
The Full Moon
The Full Moon is time when things come to conclusion. Take a look at the list you wrote during the New Moon and acknowledge what you were able to manifest! It's a great time to give thanks, and writing a gratitude list at this time is very powerful. Once you've done this, take your original list and bury it in dirt; this is a symbol of what is growing for you!
This is also a time to make important decisions. Sometimes it can feel like everything is coming to a head during the Full Moon, and we often realise that it's time to make a change or leave things behind.
In Kundalini yoga, it is said that you are "naturally accelerated" during a Full Moon, and at your peak energy levels. Again, yogis recommend fasting on this day.
The Disseminating Moon
Once you've made some of those difficult decisions, the time between the Full Moon and the New Moon — which is called "waning" — is the best possible time to remove anything from your life that is no longer serving you. This might include the discarding of old habits, saying goodbye to toxic friendships, closing a business or leaving a relationship. It's not usually considered the best time to start a project during this time, it's more about tying up loose ends and filing things away.
The Disseminating Moon is a time to teach others, to release past influences, to retreat and rest. It's also a great time to undergo any kind of beauty treatment which reduces hair growth. Weird but true!
The Last Quarter
This is the second-to-last phase of the Moon, and during this time, you want to take those loose ends from the last cycle and really and truly finish 'em up! The Last Quarter is associated with Capricorn, a very serious, ambitious and determined sign. Capricorns aren't necessarily the best at being "in the moment"; instead, they prefer to focus on finishing things so they can move onto the next phase of their grand plan. Channel those attributes during this phase! In other words: get 'er done!
During the time from the New Moon to now, you will have become aware of certain things in your life that could be released. The Last Quarter gives us fantastic energetic support to halt old habits and break negative patterns, so this is a great time to do that.
The Balsamic Moon
…Not to be mistaken for my favourite salad dressing!
The Balsamic Moon occurs 72 hours before the New Moon, and it's a time to get ready for the next phase. This Moon phase is related to the sign of Pisces, who are known to be dreamy, private, contemplative and creative. Do your best Pisces impression during this time! Take some out to meditate and clear your head before we launch into the New Moon.
You might want to burn your list from the last New Moon to allow space to bring new things into your life, clean your house, and spend some time alone as you get ready for this next cycle.
Soon, it will be the New Moon… And we'll start all over again!

Next Level Vacation: Running in Iceland
Looking to make your next vacation even more memorable? A destination race may be the answer. When you combine a 10K, half marathon or marathon with an exciting location, you turn the entire trip into one adventurous vacation.
We recently had the opportunity to talk with Clare and Ingrid Bergquist, a mother-daughter duo from the Midwest, about their amazing 10K race in Reykjavik, Iceland. Signing up for the race with just 13 weeks to train, these two threw themselves into getting ready for an adventure of a lifetime. Their story will inspire you to make your next vacation a fitness-focused one. Here's what they had to say.
Tell us about the race.
The 34th Annual Reykjavik Marathon was held on August 19, 2017 in conjunction with the anniversary of Reykjavik City and Cultural Night, the largest city festival of the year. The race is open to anyone who wants to take part from experienced runners to beginners. They offer a fun run for kids, the 10-km race, a half or whole marathon. More than 15,000 runners from over 80 countries take part in the biggest public event of the year in Reykjavik.
When did you sign up?
Clare: Ingrid runs quite a bit and has done races in the past. She had the idea she wanted to participate in the Iceland run in the spring of this year. Coincidently I had the urge to start to running again, but knew I needed a goal to work toward in order to stay the course. I mentioned to Ingrid that we should do a 5k together, maybe in Minneapolis, Milwaukee or Chicago. Of course, Ingrid found a 10k in Iceland! At the end of April, she sent me a solid itinerary of how we would get to Iceland, what we could do while we were there and how affordable the trip could be. We signed up for the race in May of this year.
Ingrid, you had the idea to run the race in Iceland. What interested you?
I've always enjoyed travel, especially travel with purpose. I find engaging with a culture and events at a travel destination to be a very fulfilling way to travel. I had a great experience spending a college semester in Sydney, Australia living, working and studying. Last year, I traveled to Peru to hike Machu Picchu. I ran a half-marathon at the beginning of May in Minneapolis and thought how cool it would be to run a race in another city.
Clare, with only 13 weeks to train, can you tell us more about how you trained?
I literally had not run in 30 years. From the time, we signed up for the race, I had 13 weeks to prepare. I have always enjoyed sports and physical activities. I swim, bike, hike, golf, curl, do Pilates, yoga and Tai Chi. I did a Google search of the term "Couch to 10k" based on a friend of mine's experience training for a 5k. I found a great training program online at myrunningtips.com. The program started out by saying if you can walk for 60 minutes you can run a 10k. I thought I can do that! I did everything the program told me to do. I believed the program would prepare me and get me through the race and it did. The program also left room for my other activities and required cross-training on non-running days. I ran three times a week then swam and biked on the other days. I also kept up my Pilates, golf and Tai Chi routines.
Were there any trying times during the training period? How did you overcome them?
Clare: The program I followed mentioned that you may wish to stop running or feel like you can't do it. They seemed to indicate this could happen early on, like during the second or third week. The program starts you out running in very small increments, alternating between walking and running. I did have doubts about my ability to run an entire 10k. I also worried I would get injured in the process of training. But I hung in there, believed in the program, pushed through the doubt and by the beginning of the fourth week running had become a habit and part of my life. I completely agree with your organization's philosophy that you can change a habit in 22 days.
Ingrid, how was training for you?
I had just run a half-marathon in May, which left me with a sore knee. I'm a firm believer in letting your body heal before jumping back into things. Once I felt better again I slowly resumed training. My training consisted of running a few times a week and cross training with swimming and spin classes while my knee improved.
Tell us about the course in Iceland.
The course in Iceland was beautiful. It weaves around the lovely coastal capital of Reykjavik, hugging the shore line as much as possible. It starts in the city center and loops past historic and cultural buildings toward neighborhoods that run along the shore then back toward the historic midtown and harbor. The best part of the race is all the support from the locals along the race course. People come out and cheer, clang cow bells, blare music, bang drums or play other instruments, chant, and get bands together on their lawns to play music as you run. The people along the course create a very welcoming and encouraging atmosphere for the race. Kids line the course and high five racers as they go by. Other people offered us slices of watermelon and mini cupcakes. The entire city comes out to greet you and they create a fun party atmosphere for the race.
How was the experience for you both?
Clare: It was an incredible experience on so many fronts. I challenged myself to achieve a goal I was not sure I was capable of – running an entire 10k. I traveled with my daughter to a fantastic country, a new place for us and created a ton of wonderful memories. We got to experience a new culture, see an amazing landscape, so different from our own and be part of an event that made us feel part of the place.
Ingrid: We ran the entire race together, which helped keep Mom motivated to keep running the full distance and allowed me to run at a pace at which I could interact with the crowd.
How has it changed you?
Clare: I am still running. I have a new fitness habit. The experience instilled in me the desire to participate in another race in the near future. It has also made me think about incorporating more of these types of events into future travel plans. Lastly, it reminded me to keep on setting health and fitness goals. Healthy is happy.
What are the benefits to joining a destination race?
Participating in an event like a destination race in a different city, state or country makes you feel more a part of that place. We were running with many Icelandic people and we felt like a part of their city and culture. The race was also a great way to experience a place. We literally ran all over Reykjavik.
Any tips for visiting Iceland?
Iceland is also known for their geothermal spas. It was much more rewarding and enjoyable to experience their premier spa, the Blue Lagoon, the day after the race with slightly sore muscles. We thoroughly enjoyed our day of soaking in those restorative waters!
What tips do you have for others that want to try a destination race, especially an international one?
Planning ahead for international travel is key. Ingrid did an amazing job of researching the country, the race, and talked to many people who had traveled there to get insider tips for our trip. She pulled together a great itinerary ahead of time, which shaped our journey in a positive way and made the trip incredibly rich in experiences and enjoyable.
Will you do another race together?
Absolutely! We hope to participate in a local Turkey Trot over Thanksgiving. Who knows here we go after that.
Thank you Clare and Ingrid! We loved hearing about your amazing adventure. You've inspired us to book a destination race!

SURREY County Council declared a climate change emergency last week, as Extinction Rebellion protesters staged a "die-in" outside County Hall.
Climate change campaigners lay sprawled on the ground outside the council offices, ahead of councillors arriving for their meeting. The protestors, wearing animal masks, were highlighting the loss of species and damage to human life support systems, caused by increasing carbon emissions.
Three months before, the council had angered protesters by refusing to back a pledge to meet targets and declare an emergency in a motion put forward by Green Cllr Jonathan Essex.
This time, a Climate Emergency Motion, with the aim of going carbon neutral by 2050, was put forward by Conservative Cllr Mike Goodman, cabinet member for environment, and seconded by Liberal Democrat Cllr Will Forster, and gained cross-party support.
"After trying to get Surrey to move forward on its climate commitments earlier this year, we've finally got some progress," said Cllr Essex after the meeting.

It is a red dwarf star- I admit to using google - not that kind of geek sorryReplyDelete
Well, to me it appears you found a Trekker in the wild! How much you want to bet the car has a starship nickname from the owner? Maybe the Saratoga?ReplyDelete
For the uninitiated, WOLF359 probably refers to The Battle of Wolf 359, where the Borg destroyed 39 Federation ships thanks to Picard having been assimilated.
And now I am hoping having a major Star Trek fan as a husband will pay off. Although I recognized it without having told him, which means after thirteen years I may have been assimilated!
Tis either a Red Dwarf Star or it is from Star Trek - a fictional battle with the Borg.ReplyDelete
Star Trek & the Borg - Resistance is FutileReplyDelete

i had to look it up. i have not yet succumbed to trek tv. are you referring to the battle of wolf 359? one of the most destructive battles in federation history prior to the dominion war? according to the website listed below.ReplyDelete
p.s i love the starving artist hat on you! and yes, i do remember the "old" strawberry shortcake. my sister was a HUGE fan.

star trek and the battle with the borg where Picard got assimilated - one of the best episodesReplyDelete
If Ohm is less than 1 then resistance is futile!!! Sorry, bad joke... its the battle with the Borg from Star Trek: TNG.ReplyDelete
I think for you it's the star trek reference. (And yes, I googled! ;) )ReplyDelete

I love the slouchy hat, it makes me want to spin bulky. And I just don't do that!
I totally didn't google as I'm a huge TNG, DS9, and Voyager fan. Resistance is futile (unless you're the federation).ReplyDelete

It's a dwarf star! Also it is a battle that took place in star trek!ReplyDelete
I started a videocast at the beginning of feb as well, which you should at least watch part off, because I am using the awesome handspun I won from you :) - its at http://www.rainloverknits.comReplyDelete
another great ep, as always here :)
Okay, I'm going to guess that it's the Star Trek reference, it was a big battle that happened.ReplyDelete
Oh too early for my inner geek to say more than that.
Live long and prosper.
I think you are referring to the Star Trek battle. Got to love a Trekky!ReplyDelete

Trek. No, I didn't have to google it. The second you spelled it out my geek-tennae went up, though I've never actually RP'd as an Andorian... I am, and always will be, a trekker (http://www.teslastation.net -- my Trek RP).ReplyDelete
Hi Carin!ReplyDelete
Wolf 359 is where the Federation and the Borg first battled, if I recall correctly. It's been awhile, but I'm a New Gen Trek Geek going way back. Was young enough when it first came out that Wesley Crusher was less an annoyance than "Oh, hey, kid my age on the deck. Take THAT, Dad!"
Of course, it would have never happened if Ripped Shirt Kirk was on the bridge. Just sayin' ;)
Yep, the Star Trek reference (although I never watched any other than the original). BTW, thanks to yours and the Knit Girllls' inspiration, I've just converted my podcast, The Proverbial Knitter, to a videocast. :-)ReplyDelete

Of course it's a Trek reference :) That's the battle where Captain Sisko lost his wife during a Borg attack. It was on the pilot of Deep Space NineReplyDelete
I would have never known, but I had to come over to the comments to satisfy my curiosity!ReplyDelete
That a Star Trek Battle between the Borg and the Federation from TNG and DS9. My husband has all the series and we've watched everything except the original.ReplyDelete
I didn't know what it meant either. So, I read what everyone else posted and got the answer.ReplyDelete
I didn't know this, but my boyfriend overheard the question and blurted out that it's from Star Trek (and apparently it's also a real star!). I know some ST stuff, but obviously not all of the random info has sunk in yet. XDReplyDelete
Borg vs Federation Battle. Not one of my favorite subplots but I know it got a ton of critical praise. Give me a good Q episode anytime though!ReplyDelete
I absolutely googled.. The red dwarf star....ReplyDelete
The red dwarf star! Google for the win! My initial thought was bad wolf, still geeky though.ReplyDelete
Borg versus Federation for sure!!ReplyDelete

Yep, Star Trek NG. My lovely SIL loaned me the whole series, but I can't knit while I watch it.ReplyDelete
I'd love you to do a bonus episode with your mom!!! :DReplyDelete
The "Battle of Wolf 359" is a fictional space battle in the Star Trek universe between the United Federation of Planets and the Borg Collective in the year 2367.
Also "Wolf 359" is an episode of the original The Outer Limits television show. It first aired on 7 November 1964, during the second season. The title is derived from a star of the same name located relatively near Earth.
Info taken from wikipedia.org. ;)

Despite having seen probably every episode of Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Enterprise, I didn't know it was from that. I mostly watched with my dad, but evidently didn't absorb very much.ReplyDelete
I originally assumed it was a Doctor Who reference, but of course, was wrong on that.
And you looked fine-no one would have noticed (or at least said anything) about you going makeup-less :) Awesome episode-I'm jealous of the Signatures....
Star Trek - Battle of WOLF359 which is a real red dwarf star found in the constellation Leo. And Yes I really am an astronomy geek.ReplyDelete
Oh Oh Oh I know this - it is a red dwarf star as well as a Star Trek battle between the United Federation and the Borg. Oh my gosh I love all things Star Trek. Last year when travelling in California we happened on a Star Trek exhibit in San Jose. I heard about it from the Knit More Girls Podcast and managed to talk the other 5 people that I was travelling with to go out of our way to visit the exhibit. The costumes were amazing, the textile so interesting and the experience was most memorable. So - pick me pick me - I am a Star Trek fan who watched the original series on TV as a kid and who has watch all of the rest - movies and TV. Plus I am an obsessed knitter and better yet - I live in Canada so it will be so easy in terms of shipping of the markers.ReplyDelete
Star Trek FTW! Thanks for your positive comments about the Starving Artist! It's so much fun to see other people's versions.ReplyDelete

Had no clue..had to google!! Found two answers:ReplyDelete
Wolf 359 is a red dwarf star that is located in the constellation Leo, near the ecliptic. Wolf 359 is a star, a red dwarf, 7.8 light-years from Earth.
The Battle of Wolf 359 is a fictional space battle in the Star Trek universe between the United Federation of Planets and the Borg Collective in the year 2367.
wolf 359 is when star fleet encountered the borg in Star Trek TNG. God I love Star TREK :-)ReplyDelete
Well when I first saw it I was thinking Doctor Who and Bad Wolf, but on seeing everything else here it has to do with Star Trek, not only that my husband recognized it, he's the true TrekkeReplyDelete
You could be referring to the red dwarf star located in the constellation Leo which is 7.8 lght years from Earth. Or it is also the fictional space battle in the Star Trek Universe which was between the Borg Collection and the United Federation of Planets. What a great question for us. The stitch markers look like a great creation.ReplyDelete
Thank you for the shout out for my podcast! I really appreciate it! :)ReplyDelete
Wolf 359 is the battle between the Federation and the Borg. Yay, TNG!ReplyDelete

I'll admit that I had to google ;-) It is either a red dwarf star or a battle on Star Trek between the United Federation of Planets and the Borg Collective.ReplyDelete
It's gotta be the star or the Star Trek battle. I'm guessing it's Star Trek though. :)ReplyDelete
I am going with the red dwarf star. :)ReplyDelete
this is where the borg attacked with loctus of borg leading the fight I love star trek that is why my email is knittingqueen because like the borg queen i assimilate people into my knitting collective and tell them resistance is futile.ReplyDelete

The Battle of Wolf 359 is a fictional space battle in the Star Trek universe between the United Federation of Planets and the Borg Collective in the year 2367, duh...OK, I copied that from Wikipedia. I had no idea what it was. I have been meaning to add Star Trek to my Netflix queue though.ReplyDelete
Hi Carin,ReplyDelete
I am also guessing that the WOLF359 license plate is a reference to The Battle of Wolf 359 - a fictional space battle in the Star Trek universe between the United Federation of Planets and the Borg Collective in the year 2367.
I am so late to this game. Everyone has already told you it is from Star Trek:TNG. Borg Picard makes me cry.ReplyDelete
Star Trek battle.ReplyDelete
A few video podcasts that I've heard of recently but haven't watched yet are:
I don't need to google it! I just cheated and looked at all the other comments. Star Trek?!ReplyDelete
I am geeky, though, so that should count for something. I have Star Trek on my list to watch. I've only seen a few.
It's a fictional red dwarf star where the Federation fought the Borg!ReplyDelete
I knew it was a red dwarf star, my husband assured me I was wrong, it was a Star Trek battle vs the Borg. After reading the comments I think we both may be right.ReplyDelete
Well there is an advantage for downloading late -- although I loved and watched The Next Generation and loved all the Borg episodes I did not recall that the battle with the borgs was Wolf 359, but now I do!ReplyDelete
Star Trek of course!ReplyDelete
Another great ep!
A red star or for Trekkies it is the Battle of Wolf 359ReplyDelete

Awesome catch!!! Star Trek battle between the Federation and the Borg.ReplyDelete
Star Trek! Battle with the Borg.ReplyDelete
COOL Trekkie sighting.
WOLF 359 From Star Trek, battle between United Fed. of Planets and Borg Collective in yr. 2367ReplyDelete
Well, star trek battle. But I do like that it is a real star.ReplyDelete
The star has a resist hue and is hanging out with Leo.
Which should be in the sky at night since Leo people

'Teen Titans: Earth One' Remakes Heroes for a New Audience
Following the successful Teen Titans Go! series on Cartoon Network, DC Entertainment's underage superheroes are about to be reimagined for an new audience as the latest in the publisher's Earth One line of graphic novels.
The November release of Teen Titans: Earth One sees the team, originally created for the Brave and the Bold series in 1964, join Superman and Batman as part of DC's Earth One line of graphic novels, designed to showcase its characters outside the continuity of the monthly comics as a way of attracting new readers. (Wonder Woman: Earth One is also currently in the works.)
Heat Vision breakdown
STORY: New 'Teen Titans Go!' Comics Launches in December (Exclusive)
"It's not tied in with anything else, so it allows you to literally display all of these concepts down to their core and start fresh and take them in new and unexpected directions while still being true to that core concept," writer Jeff Lemire told Comic Book Resources. "The freedom is pretty exhilarating."
The cast of the graphic novel, illustrated by Terry and Rachel Dodson, hews closely to the version of the team in the Cartoon Network series, with Cyborg, Changeling, Starfire, Raven and Jericho. (Interestingly enough, promotional artwork for the book features part-time Titan Terra in place of Starfire for some reason.)
"To be honest, [choosing the team's lineup] was one of the hardest things to decide when I got the gig, for a couple of reasons. There have been different iterations over the years," Lemire explained, pointing out that in the book's continuity, there are no adult heroes to mentor traditional members like Robin or Wonder Girl. "What I really decided to do was take unique characters that would be free of all that," he said, choosing members as far away from sidekick status as possible.
"Hopefully this volume is successful so I can do more, because I have sort of built this thing as a trilogy, with an expanding cast and an expanding story throughout three volumes," Lemire said. Teen Titans: Earth One will be released Nov. 19.

Westminster Larger Catechism in modern English question number twenty-seven:
Q. 27. What was the misery brought on mankind by the Fall?
A. The Fall brought upon mankind both the loss of communion with God and His displeasure and curse. Therefore, we are naturally children of wrath, slaves to Satan, and justly liable to all punishments in this world and in the one to come.

DEAR HARRIETTE: Working from home every day and staring into a computer screen is making me nuts. I feel like I sit all day long. And I have the extra weight to prove it.

Hi, I am Caroline Hewitt and I am the founding member of Centred Counselling. I am a qualified Person Centred Counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Sometimes in this fast-paced life, we lose track of who we are and what we genuinely want for ourselves, it's easy to become overwhelmed and stuck. Our thoughts and feelings don't always match up and sometimes they are based in past events or future concerns, this can make day to day living a struggle.
In my practice, it is my aim to offer you a safe space where you can begin to unpick what is happening for you, even if you're not sure where to start. Though it often doesn't feel like it, I believe that each person is unique and has an innate ability towards healing and in my role as a counsellor, I will endeavour to journey alongside you as you discover this for yourself.
I am able to offer face to face and online counselling and have daytime/evening and weekend availability.
Formal Qualifications:
Other Relevant Training:
Current Roles:
I am a fully insured registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists and I am currently working towards full accreditation with them.
I am also a member of the local group for counsellors, Westcountry Association for Counsellors, we meet regularly to enjoy each other's company and share continued professional development.
I attend regular supervision to ensure I am working ethically and safely at all times and meet the requirements laid down for BACP membership.
My practice offers predominantly Person Centred therapy because it recognises our base needs as human beings to feel safe, accepted without judgement and to be understood. I am however able to offer alternative ways of working, should you be interested. I have experience of working creatively with elements from:
I welcome expression through sandtray, writing, drawing, timelines, music.
Thank you for helping me when I needed it most. I thought that life would never be the same, and just didn't want to get out of bed anymore or be around people. You helped me make sense of my feelings and now I know life won't ever be the same, but it feels different, my days are better and I am happier and I have started volunteering again.
I'm much more confident in myself and my abilities. I've definitely made moves away from relationships that were hurting me. I value myself, my thoughts, my wants first and I am finally living my life the way I have always wanted to.
I have been seeing Caroline as my counsellor for a couple of years now and have felt and experienced many changes; I have become more confident, more happy and more myself since receiving therapy from Caroline. She is considerate, empathetic, reassuring and very quickly allayed any concerns I had receiving counselling in the first place.
Many of our services are now delivered online, whether it's banking, shopping or a Doctor's appointments, we are increasingly embracing the flexibility of being able to access services in the comfort of our own homes. It should come as no surprise that counselling services too are increasingly finding themselves being used online. Online counselling might […]

Once a week a ghostly screaching figure attacks Chris as she attempts to change the bed sheets.
Oddly enough Alex vanishes whenever the ghost is around… It doesn't take Scooby Doo to figure out who the ghost is!
Alex gets a lot of entertainment out of getting covered by a light sheet and then running all over the bed. He screams like a mad man and throws himself all over the place – it isn't much help for Chris, but it is cute!!!
He's getting bigger by the day (duh!) and has measured in today at 101cm! Yup, at 2yrs 7mnths he has topped the metre! We're going to need a taller house!

5 Daily Fantasy Football Matchups to Exploit in Week 11
Before you check out the Week 11 main slate, you need to put some safeguards in place. Your electronics are at risk.
Check out the list of running backs available to you. Not only do all of the high-priced guys have amazing usage, but they're also in spots that border on being too good to be true.
The slobber will fly while thinking about these guys. You may slam your head through the computer screen out of pure joy. Spiking your phone is encouraged. With how good the landscape is at running back, nobody will fault you for getting a hair overzealous and setting your preferred device ablaze.
This is going to make filling out lineups this weekend a blast. We get to use exciting players who are in good spots, and all of them have a shot to completely blow up.
But it's not all sunshine and daisies up in here.
Having all of these amazing high-cost backs presents us with a couple of issues. First, we have to figure out which of these guys we're going to prioritize. Even if we plug a running back into our flex spot, we still can max out at just three per lineup. That's a limitation to our creativity.
Second, we have to figure out how we're going to afford those studs. If we're spending up there, we've got to scrounge for cash somewhere else, and without a ton of injuries affecting the main slate, that's likely easier said than done.
Admittedly, these are all good problems to have. It's far better to have too many good plays than to have not enough. But we're going to have to work hard to sift through all this and build the best lineups possible.
One potential aid -- both in prioritizing the stud running backs and in identifying value elsewhere -- is looking at matchups. Specifically, we'll be using numberFire's Net Expected Points (NEP), the metric we use to track the efficiency of both teams and players. NEP looks at the expected points added or subtracted on each play, quantifying the immense difference between a three-yard completion on 3rd and 2 and a three-yard completion on 3rd and 4. Matchups aren't at the top of our list in cranking out these rankings, but they certainly can help.
With all of this in mind, let's take a look at some players in plus matchups this weekend who fit within the context of the slate. If we want to pay up at running back and find value elsewhere, where can we turn? Let's check it out.

Liana Lowenstein, MSW is the author of several books and resources that have served as great references for me over the years. Her newest installment Assessment and Treatment Activities for Children, Adolescents and Families, Volume Two is now available and is just as indispensable as her previous work. Like the first volume, this book is full of effective and practical techniques from veteran practitioners, all expertly compiled and edited by Lowenstein. This is yet another treasure trove of engaging activities and interventions aimed at assessing and treating children of all ages and their families. Many issues are addressed including Feelings Expression, Self-Esteem, Social Skills, and Termination. Volume Two is an updated best-of-the-best collection that should not be missed.
Lowenstein's previous books are equally essential for mental health professionals. Creative Interventions for Troubled Children & Youthand MORE Creative Interventions for Troubled Children & Youth are best-selling collections filled with creative assessment andtreatment interventions to help clients identify feelings, learn copingstrategies, enhance social skills, and elevate self-esteem. Lowenstein addresses more specific issues in Creative Interventions for Bereaved Children and Creative Interventions for Children of Divorce. The former is a uniquely creative compilation of therapeutic games, art activities,and stories to help bereaved children express feelings of grief, learnbasic concepts of death, diffuse traumatic reminders, addressself-blame, commemorate the deceased, and learn coping strategies. The latter consists of therapeutic games, art techniques, andstories to help children of divorce express feelings, understandmarriage and divorce, deal with loyalty binds, parental conflict, andreunification fantasies, address self-blame, and learn copingstrategies. And of course there's the original volume of Assessment and Treatment Activities for Children, Adolescents, and FamiliesI mentioned above.
Lowenstein has been a key player in the field of children's mental health for years and many practitioners, myself included, are always excited and intrigued by her output. The new volume of Assessment and Treatment is yet another gem and hopefully not the last in this series as our field of therapy continues to evolve.

In every walk of life, each one of us has been given the opportunity to help another and make a difference in someone else's life. Whether it's giving someone a hot meal and a place to sleep, a simple donation, standing up for what is right or listening and chatting to someone in need of a heartfelt and meaningful conversation. The only way for us to move forward together is to keep on looking back, and pulling up as many people as we can.
This is why Chedid Property has started the Open Door Initiative, our way of giving back to the community and helping others.
Each year we will select a foundation to support by donating $1,000 from every sale done in that year, helping to share their message and hosting events that will make an impact in the community.
In 2018, we have selected KYUP! Project, powered by the amazing Mel Thomas, that is about raising awareness of violence against women and children and empowering them to recognise a bad situation. We thank you in advance for your support and are looking forward to seeing all the great things KYUP! Project achieves in 2018.
