Most people would think that as a student, I would have it easy. I don't work, I answer only to myself and I can basically do anything I want and get away with it because I'm young and unwise. To make bad decisions is the norm. I leave the pros and cons with adults.
To be young again is what most people want. I, on the other hand, can't wait to become an adult. From my point of view, they can do what they want. Most of the time. If they don't get caught, they could become people with enough power to boss everybody else around. A kid simply can't do that.
Although, I can also see why most kids my age would like to become a star. A rock star, a fashion model, become part of a boy band, or simply one of those teenage idols all teens my age follow and fawn over.
Their influence is staggering.
They make selfies a must-do, they have made partying like a bachelor's degree you must earn based on how many parties you have thrown or been. They make hook-ups as the next best thing and everything else is secondary.
As a student, I sometimes wonder why most of my teachers still hold on to outdated ideals that I don't even abide.It's sickening to listen to them talk of the past and how good life was before our generation. It's like they have never heard the expression, "move on".
Life would be so much easier if they could see what I see. Everything is gray. There's no more right or wrong, black or white. The change they wanted then has happened. We are the result of all their struggles. We are a generation of maybes, bisexuals, hedonists and yolo.
They should be proud of us.
Still, as a student, I struggle. Between their expectations, my desires and the entire world looking at me whether I stumble or fall, I still carry on.
So maybe I smoke or drink. So I did hook up with this guy or girl just to see what's the fuss was all about. So I party and I play DOTA all day and night when I want to.
In the end, I answer to me. I sleep with my thoughts in my head. I see where my decisions would lead me and I want to go there. I want to make mistakes and I want to succeed. I want to fail and I want to try again.
This is my life. This is how I want it to be.

We musicians would like to strongly reject the actions of one Mr Edward Sigei the CEO of KECOBO's decision to award MCSK, KAMP & PRISK a joint license to collect royalties from users on our behalf.
We have sought answers from Sports Arts and Culture Cabinet Secretary Rashid Mohammed Echesa on how the KECOBO CEO managed to unconstitutionally issue the license letter on a Sunday yet we had sought to solve the problems in royalty collection and we were in the process of awaiting the CS guidance.
The CS informed us that KECOBO CEO went against his directive not to issue any communication on licenses or the licenses before outstanding conditions that denied MCSK a license in 2017 were resolved and all stakeholders are on one page with a lasting solution to the problems that have existed in the whole business of royalty collection.
Its good to take note that, Mcsk was deregistered in 2017 because they collected money and did not pay artists. In 2017 and 2018 they continued to collect illegally and not paying artists,further the court found them guilty and ordered kecobo to take action. Instead if kecobo taking action, they have gone ahead to license the same organization which has not paid any artist in years.
Immediately after the board deferred the decision to issue a license, the board term ended on 31st October 2018. Kecobo does not have a new board which would have considered the issuing of a license. It would appear that Mr. Sigei is acting on his own since kecobo has no board members. This is against the law.
Also The board of kecobo made a decision to defer the issuing of a license for authors, composers and publishers in what now appears to be a calculated move to benefit some directors. Mr. Katana and David Mureithi who were part of the kecobo board that deferred the decision are now directors of mcsk. In our view this is a conflict of interest and abuse of office.
We can also establish that the KECOBO board does not have enough quorum to execute the mandate of issuing licenses to CMO so how did CEO Edward Sigei attain powers to issue licenses as KECOBO letter from Sunday 20th Jan 2019 dictates.
We are wondering what the emergency is to issue these licenses to collect billions came from till a state office delivered an official statement on a Sunday, yet we have been seeking to solve the corruption and theft of Musicians money for years.
We also wonder why KECOBO asked for a public participation on 24th Jan 2019 dated 14th Jan 2019 then on Sunday 20th Jan 2019 they make a statement issuing license to CMOs KAMP PRISK & MCSK allowing them to collect billions when they have not shown us where the money they illegally collected for the past years was used! How can we come to participate in a process to address licenses that are already issued?
We have uploaded this statement and corroborating letters on social media with #KecoboIMPUNITY

MINNEAPOLIS - Frank Thomas will remember the day he hit his 500th homer - for reaching the milestone and getting ejected.
The Toronto slugger hit a three-run shot in the first inning of the Blue Jays' 8-5 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Thursday, becoming the 21st major leaguer to reach 500.
He also had an RBI double and tied his season high with four RBIs, then was ejected in the ninth inning by plate umpire Mark Wegner after being called out on strikes for the second time in the game.
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons came out to argue and also was ejected.
Torii Hunter homered twice and Jason Bartlett also connected for Minnesota, which rallied from a 5-1 deficit to gain the win for Carlos Silva (6-8). Jason Frasor (1-3) was the loser.
Thomas came up after Matt Stairs' RBI single in the first and sent Silva's 1-2 pitch an estimated 396 feet into the left-field stands.
A fan in the fifth row, wearing a jersey of Twins player Jason Bartlett, caught the ball in his glove. He was quickly escorted away by security.
The Metrodome crowd responded with a standing ovation for the two-time AL MVP.
Thomas took his home run trot and then pointed toward the suites down the right-field line when he crossed the plate as Toronto players spilled out of the dugout to congratulate him.
Thomas hit his first career home run at the Metrodome against Gary Wayne while with the Chicago White Sox on Aug. 28, 1990. Thomas has 16 homers overall at the stadium.
The 39-year-old Thomas is in his first season with the Blue Jays. He spent last year in Oakland.
Next on Thomas' ascent on the career home run list are Eddie Murray (504), Mel Ott (511) and Ernie Banks and Eddie Mathews (512 each). Also within reach of 500 this year are Alex Rodriguez, Jim Thome and Manny Ramirez.
Thomas entered Thursday with four home runs in his previous 10 games.
He has 13 this season. This was his second lifetime homer off Silva.
The Big Hurt has hit 50 career homers against the Twins, his most against any team and the most by an active player against Minnesota. Rocky Colavito hit 52 against the Twins and Mickey Mantle and Reggie Jackson each hit 51.
AL MVP Justin Morneau returned to the Minnesota lineup after missing six games with a bruised lung. He went 0-for-3 with a walk and an RBI as a designated hitter.
Silva settled down and wound up allowing five runs and six hits in seven innings with five strikeouts.
Despite his teammates scoring 11 runs in his previous start, Silva entered the game last in the AL in run support at 3.79.
Toronto's A.J. Burnett, pitching for the first time since leaving a June 12 start in San Francisco with a shoulder strain, gave up five runs and six hits in four-plus innings. Burnett, who struck out six, threw 75 pitches.
With Minnesota trailing 5-3, Jason Tyner and Bartlett opened the fifth inning with singles to finish Burnett.
Joe Mauer hit an RBI grounder, Michael Cuddyer walked and Morneau hit another run-scoring grounder.
Hunter, who homered leading off the fourth, hit a two-run homer off Frasor, who had not allowed an earned run in his previous 141�3 innings.
Tyner added an RBI single in the sixth.
Juan Rincon pitched a scoreless eighth and Joe Nathan finished for his 15th save in 17 chances.
Thomas smacks 500th career homer
MINNEAPOLIS - Frank Thomas will remember the day he hit his 500th homer - for reaching the milestone and getting ejected.

And a bunch of coconuts is not lovely.
Who writes these song lyrics anyway?
This is one of the reasons I don't listen to music while I'm writing. I can't help listening to lyrics, and sometimes the lyrics confound me. I try to analyze them, figure out what the lyricist was trying to say.
Like that one in which Cheryl Crow insisted: "I'm not going to write you a love song because you want me to, etc. etc." For some reason, that song always made me feel anxious. It translated to me telling my editor that I wasn't going to accept her suggested changes just because I thought my writing was so brilliant I didn't need to fix anything. Yikes!
I'm not saying all song lyrics are dumb. Some are just too hard to figure out. For instance, I love the music to Black Horse and the Cherry Tree and I love the sound of K.T. Tunstall's singing, but I don't understand the lyrics at all. That kind of thing is very distracting if I want to focus on pacing and plot and character in my wip.
One of you no doubt is wondering why I don't stick to classical music with no singing. It's because I tune it out. If I'm tuning it out, I'm not enjoying the music as it was meant to be enjoyed. Classical music is for sitting in my easy chair with a cup of tea and a piece of chocolate and giving the music my full attention.
Nope, no music while I'm writing. I want absolute silence.
Absolute silence is a thing of beauty.
Absolute silence is a bowl of cherries.
Shhh. Now write.

NFL legend Jerry Rice visited the first ever NFL Academy training site in the UK, New River Sport & Fitness in north London on Tuesday, November 19 to pass on his knowledge and experience to NFL Academy students. The Hall of Fame wide receiver led a practice session at the White Hart Lane centre, which is managed by registered charity and sport and leisure management experts Fusion Lifestyle and serves as the official on-field training site for the NFL Academy
Rice, three-time Super Bowl champion with the San Francisco 49ers, was at New River Sport & Fitness in his role as ambassador to the Academy, which aims to give aspiring young American football players and outstanding athletes the chance to develop their skills and knowledge of the game while receiving full-time education at Barnet and Southgate College. The Academy students use the extensive facilities at the centre, including the full size 3G multi-sport pitches, full size athletics track, tennis courts, indoor exercise studios and fully equipped gym.
Tony Allen, head coach of the NFL Academy, "We were very excited to have an NFL icon taking part in our practice and inspiring the students. It was great for him to see our facilities and see that New River Sport & Fitness is the perfect partner for us to be able to offer the high-quality training facilities we need."
Anthony Cawley, Operations Director of Fusion Lifestyle said, "Our partnership with the NFL is really exciting. American football has been building its profile in the UK, with some of its regular matches played in London. The academy is a great way to engage with young people in both Tottenham and the surrounding area and welcoming someone as high profile as Jerry Rice is a great way to inspire both those already at the Academy and the wider community."

So, they latest "controversy" that the Democrats have their knickers in a twist about is a secret CIA program to kill Al Qaeda leaders. A plan that was never implemented.
C.I.A. Had Plan to Assassinate Qaeda Leaders
Since 2001, the Central Intelligence Agency has developed plans to dispatch small teams overseas to kill senior Qaeda terrorists, according to current and former government officials.
The plans remained vague and were never carried out, the officials said, and Leon E. Panetta, the C.I.A. director, canceled the program last month.
Officials at the spy agency over the years ran into myriad logistical, legal and diplomatic obstacles. How could the role of the United States be masked? Should allies be informed and might they block the access of the C.I.A. teams to their targets? What if American officers or their foreign surrogates were caught in the midst of an operation? Would such activities violate international law or American restrictions on assassinations overseas?
Yet year after year, according to officials briefed on the program, the plans were never completely shelved because the Bush administration sought an alternative to killing terror suspects with missiles fired from drone aircraft or seizing them overseas and imprisoning them in secret C.I.A. jails.
Mr. Panetta scuttled the program, which would have relied on paramilitary teams, shortly after the C.I.A.'s counterterrorism center recently informed him of its existence. The next day, June 24, he told Congressional Intelligence Committees that the plan had been hidden from lawmakers, initially at the instruction of former Vice President Dick Cheney.
. . .
Because the program never carried out any missions and because Congress had already signed off on the agency's broad authorities after the Sept. 11 attacks, the officials and some Republican legislators said that the C.I.A. was not required to brief lawmakers on specifics about the program.
But Congressional Democrats were furious that the program had not been shared with the committees. The Senate and House oversight committees were created by law in the 1970s as a direct response to disclosures of C.I.A. abuses, notably including assassination plots against Patrice Lumumba of the Congo, Fidel Castro in Cuba and other foreign politicians. President Gerald R. Ford in 1976 issued an executive order banning assassinations.
That ban does not apply to the killing of enemies in a war, government officials say. The Bush administration took the position that killing members of Al Qaeda, a terrorist group that has attacked the United States and stated that its goal is to attack again, is no different than shooting enemy soldiers on the battlefield. The Obama administration, which has continued to fire missiles from Predator drones on suspected Qaeda members in Pakistan, has taken the same view.

Sunshine makes everything feel better. This week, I have been trying to put any niggles to the back of my mind and utilise my day and a half off work into getting out and about with the Wriggly one. We are very lucky in our little city of Newcastle that there are plenty of small-person friendly things that are either free or cheap and do not need a car to get to. Hooray! One of my favourite places to go is Leazes Park in the centre of town, opposite our beloved hospital the RVI. It is just minutes from a metro stop and bus route and St James Park looms over, and yet when you are there, the traffic noises melts away and all you can hear is birdsong, ducks and people chatting.
As parks go, it is quite large. It was the first public park open in Tyneside, opening in 1873 after working men petitioned for a space for recreation and relaxation. The park centres on a large lake with an island in the middle and there is a bandstand, boast hut, former lodge and tennis courts. There was once deer roaming freely through the park but now you have to make do with the still-surreal cows that are permitted to graze on the bits of the Town Moor next door.
Since Wriggles was introduced to swings and the love affair began, we have been to many parks but this is an extra good one. The swings are pretty good but the huge amount of open space is a plus and proximity to town should you need emergency facilities like a good toilet or biscuit shop. I suspect when she finds her feet, places like these will become even more brilliant to toddle around in. At the moment, Wriggles is quite suspicious of everything. Although she is willing to be tolerant and even mildly curious, she is very much Not Sure about grass and her legs twitch as though she is not sure she really wants to sit on it! She was quite intrigued however by daisies and cheered up once I had wrestled the picnic blanket out from underneath the buggy. We set up a mobile library and toyshop and I proceeded to use nearly a whole (little) tube of sunscreen on the pair of us. Well, you can't be too careful and 'lobster' is so not Wriggles' colour.
All in all, a very enjoyable afternoon. Mr Weatherman-more of the same please!

Broad may not have pardoned him, to this day. The Australians may not have recovered from the ill-fated 2011 World Cup loss in the semis. Flintoff may still have qualms about how counterproductive it was of him in taking his shirt off, only for India to take the shirt off the English later, in their backyard. And certainly, India may have wanted to utilize him a lot better than it did.
But no tribute to Yuvraj Singh can be accomplished without stating that there was a batsman who redefined the art of making the big look easy.
Wondering how? When did India last boast of a batsman who could both throw himself at the ball, whether in point, short cover and the outfield, get the cotton all dirty, bowl in a few quick overs, and press the accelerator immediately when needed?
Few cricketers arouse emotions of the kinds that Yuvraj Singh does and few ever may. Yes, in the past few summers, he did appear a bit rusty.
The fluent knocks sort of disappeared. The runs didn't particularly feature.
And where pure numbers are concerned, then from the onset of 2011-2013, a period of time during which time, where he was at his peak and played 33 ODIs, his returns didn't reflect that the elegant timer of the ball still had it.
It was as if, someone had taken the accelerator off a sports-car.
Yet, despite spending a quarter of his career away from the 22 yards, in agony, whilst recuperating, Yuvraj Singh managed to epitomize the meaning of the courage.
You remember Dravid when he managed to bat on despite being struck by a bouncer on his jaw-line in a Test in Bangladesh. You cannot ignore Kumble, with his jaw bandaged in the Caribbean, carrying on uncomplainingly only to remove Lara from the crease. And to this day, Sachin raising his bat to the skies, offering his father a tribute upon his stunning century against Kenya turns your eyes wet.
But where will you place a cancer-stricken Yuvraj Singh in the annals of world cricket, who before-treatment and post-recovery continued to persevere with the same audacity with which he plundered 8700 ODI runs, and along with it- 14 centuries and 52 fifties?
No tribute to Yuvraj Singh can be rendered complete without subjecting Stuart Broad, for the millionth time, to the time where the celebrated English bowler became a laughing stock. Because hitting six sixes in as many balls in a Cricket World Cup isn't a joke. And likewise, no tribute to Yuvraj Singh can be worthy of respect without highlighting that despite being struck with a life-threatening scare, the left-hander aspired to play for the same team for which batting for several years, his career's emerged as an aspiration for those in hot pursuit.
Yuvraj Singh arrived in the game back in 2000. Back then, Sachin and Lara were still going strong, there was no such thing as T20 cricket, Peter Willey and David Orchard umpired in high-octane contests, and cricket wasn't about wearing yellow shoes on red jerseys.
Cricket was primarily about upholding the spirit of the game, it was about glory, it was about pride, of the kinds that Yuvraj Singh demonstrated when along with Md. Kaif, he made India sail over England, in 2002.
In a sport decorated by the genius of Tendulkar, Kallis, Ponting, and Lara, batsmen like Yuvraj Singh- fluent stroke-makers on the front-foot and strong exponents off the backfoot- made a rational case for, "Those who are going to come in next!"
In the 2003 World Cup, despite Sachin's blazing knock, and subsequent dismissal- remember the short-pitched one from Shoaib- it wasn't over for India because giving company to The Wall was a Yuvraj. Perhaps his 50 off 53 was his best fifty in any world cup.
Today, you no longer feel South Africa are defeated unless you've removed David Miller from the crease or bulldozed the likes of Russell and Holder from the wicket in a West Indian chase gone awry.
Back in the day, you had to contend with Yuvraj's cleverly-disguised left-armers and his hawkish vigilance over the point region. And when that was not enough, the strong " bull's eye of a throw" could shackle the stumps at the runner's end the same way lofty hits down the order could take the game away from an Australia, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan.
Calling him an all-time great of white-ball cricket is easy. But ascertaining what makes him one pays testimony to a cricketer who came, conquered, made headlines, nearly went from being a glowing icon to being obscure, and bowed out on his own terms.
A couple of humid summers ago, when Rahul, Kohli, and Dhawan departed- in that order- in an important Cuttack encounter against England, in walked the Prince of Punjab and out went England's hopes of rubbing India wrongly. After batting for 37 overs, at a stretch, the then 35-year-old carved arguably his finest ODI ton, as also his greatest limited overs century.
The 150 came in a high-pressure situation and took only 21 overs of hitting to manifest in 18 stunning boundaries and 3 sixes.
Well, truth be told, it's a shame that Yuvraj wasn't picked for the #CWC19.
Maybe, it can make for an interesting debate, on another day, that is it fair to have only icons like Sachin that dream farewell while those who've served their nation with unswerving commitment, like Dravid, Ganguly, Laxman, and Yuvraj go without waving a final goodbye?
Why was Yuvraj, no less exhilarating as was Lara in his heydays, denied the chance of asking his home crowd- whether in Mohali or Delhi- "Did I entertain?"
But heck, we all know he did. From the onset of 2000 to the period of his most ostentatious hitting, circa 2005-to-2008, when in these four years he struck 2800 of his nearly 8800 runs, scoring 8 of his 14 tons in sublime fashion.
Batsmen, there are many, but warlords there'll be few. Shouldn't we be glad that in Yuvraj Singh, we found our greatest left-hander alongside Ganguly and a fighter too?

The figure comes towards you. It begins pressing down on your chest; you feel an awful weight forcing you deeper into your mattress. You try to cry out for help. You can't. You can't even move.
This is sleep paralysis. Though millions of people suffer with this terrifying condition, little is actually known about it.
Cathy Whitaker has dealt with the phenomenon for 18 years, and is no stranger to the dark, terrifying figures that loom in the shadows of the bedroom. The 54-year old woman from Melbourne seems to live a very "normal" life on the surface.
If you dig a little deeper, you would find out that Cathy struggles with depression that was first triggered after several family members passed away. Her depression was triggered again after a work-related accident. It was around this time that Cathy began to experience sleep paralysis.
"I was first diagnosed with depression in 1997 which is when the sleep paralysis started," Cathy said.
The first incident took place just a week after her grandmother passed away. Cathy was terrified that she was experiencing a stroke and remembers thinking that she would be paralyzed forever.
"I was beyond terrified," Cathy continued, "I went straight to my GP the next morning. He told me I was just having nightmares but sent me to a neurologist who said it was "nocturnal paralysis"."
It was very common for Cathy to feel like someone was in the room with her. She recounts seeing a black figure wearing a hat who would loom over her bed.
Cathy beat her battle with depression and experienced a break from her sleep paralysis. Unfortunately, it all returned after an accident at work left her with a spinal injury and she was told she could never work again. The dark figure with the hat was returning more frequently than ever.
"I don't know if I'm asleep or awake," Cathy said, "It's a vague hallucination… it's fear… absolute terror."
Every time the figure returns, Cathy finds herself completely frozen, unable to speak or move. She often will fall into a bought of paralysis as her husband is sitting in bed next to her. Though she screams out to him to shake her, most of the time he hears little more than a mumble.
Cathy was quick to realize that she was not the only one suffering from sleep paralysis, finding many online discussions regarding the condition.
Sleep paralysis occurs when a person is either falling asleep or waking up. During and episode, they are unable to speak, move or react to anything around them. Hallucinations often occur. Though it is sometimes linked to other conditions such as narcolepsy, migraines and anxiety, this is not always the case. Sleep paralysis can occur entirely on its own.
Cathy has learned to live with her condition, working on ways to stay calm and coach herself through episodes of sleep paralysis.
She hopes that as conversations about mental illness become more and more common that conversations regarding conditions such as sleep paralysis will soon follow suit. She believes that if doctors talk to their patients more effectively about this condition, the entire experience will be much less terrifying.

Beijing, World's Worst Airports, lists, WSJ, kith/kin: My personal experience supports this.
Stories of travel in Chinese airports are a horror genre in their own right, and with good reason: When it comes to on-time arrivals or departures, the country's airports are literally the worst in the world.
According to FlightStats, which tracks airport statistics, Beijing's airport ranks dead last among the world's top 35, with fully 82% of flights failing to leave on time. Second worst was Shanghai, at 71%.
Such chronic tardiness has led to periodic passenger meltdowns and even physical altercations. Last year, the country's Civil Aviation Administration was prompted to issue a circular urging officials to maintain better order and ensure that overexcited passengers who vent their rage by "smashing counters and rushing onto runways" are punished.

In a luxurious British retirement home for retired musicians, two questions circle each other. One involves former opera stars who were once married, long ago and briefly. The other is about a gala that may be able to raise enough money to keep the home from closing.
We understand that these characters made a lot of money in their lifetime and can afford this expensive retirement. But practical details at Beecham House are murky. There seem to be no elevators, and all the octogenarian residents, even Jean with her hip replacement, use the stairs. The staff consists of the supervisor and a few nurses. We understand why that would be enough for the stage, but Hoffman's film accepts all the limitations of a stage play and just doesn't care. It's curious, for example, that not a single one of the residents seems to have a single relative. No children. No grandchildren. Nobody.
This movie will no doubt be pitched to the same audiences that loved "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel." It even brings Maggie Smith along. But it lacks that film's life, intelligence and spirit. It has a good heart. I'll give it that. Maybe what it needs is more exotic marigolds.

JK Rowling Pseudonym, Robert Galbraith's 'The Cuckoo's Calling':
The novel was published in April by Sphere in the UK – the same imprint at Little, Brown as her first fiction novel after Harry Potter, The Casual Vacancy. Set in London, it features a one-legged private detective called Cormoran Strike, who is hired to investigate the death of a supermodel called Lula Landry. The book's description on Amazon says "You may think you know about the wealthy and famous, but you've never seen them under an investigation like this."
Harry Potter fan site The Leaky Cauldron says the book has so far sold just 1,500 copies, and that a second Galbraith book is to be published next year. Update: Since the news broke, New Statesman reports that the book's Amazon sales have gone up more than 150,000%.

Born in 1968, Robert Galbraith is married with two sons. After several years with the Royal Military Police, he was attached to the SIB (Special Investigation Branch), the plain-clothes branch of the RMP. He left the military in 2003 and has been working since then in the civilian security industry. The idea for protagonist Cormoran Strike grew directly out of his own experiences and those of his military friends who have returned to the civilian world. 'Robert Galbraith' is a pseudonym.

Cory Monteith, 'Glee' : Sad …
Cory Monteith, the handsome young actor who shot to fame in the hit TV series "Glee" but was beset by addiction struggles so fierce that he once said he was lucky to be alive, was found dead in a hotel room, police said. He was 31.
Monteith, who played the character Finn Hudson on the Fox TV series about a high school glee club, was found dead in his room on the 21st floor of the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel on Vancouver's waterfront at about noon Saturday, according to police.
Deputy Police Chief Doug Lepard said there was no indication of foul play. Monteith's body was found by hotel staff after he missed his check-out time, Lepard said.
"We do not have a great deal of information as to cause of death," Coroner Lisa Lapointe said.
Lepard said Monteith had been out with people earlier and that those people are being interviewed.
"I have no words! My heart is broken," Dot-Marie Jones, who plays football coach Shannon Beiste on "Glee," said in a post on her Twitter account Saturday night. She called Monteith a "hell of a friend" and an "amazing" man.

Filthy Rich: The property tycoon who struck real gold
Book review: Star rating ***
Author: Manoj Raithatha
Publisher: Monarch Books. 2015. £8.99
Does money buy you true happiness? An old question of course but still a pertinent one in this day and age as many still pursue dreams of wealth, work all hours to achieve wealth and some of course play the national lottery with a dream of making an instant un-earned fortune.
Filthy Rich is essentially the rags to riches to true riches true life story of property tycoon Manoj Raithatha. Born in Watford to Indian-Kenyan-Ugandan-Indian parents. Manoj's is particularly interesting as he relates the great highs and lows of his journey towards building up a multi-million pound property empire.
What does this all mean for him, his wife and family? What makes this all the more absorbing a read is that the journey to success meets a number of major roadblocks – namely the financial crash of 2008 and the serious illness of his young son.
Up to these moments he had more or less gone through life un-troubled by questions of faith or religion but these were the major episodes that made him stop and consider whether he can have it all. Can he have it all on his own terms or does he need to rely on "outside help" so to speak?
As you read the book it makes you reflect on your own life and how you tend to go about it believing that you succeed or fail by your own efforts and/or those of the colleagues, teams, family and friends around you. But what if this isn't enough to get you through big crises, or to sustain your emotional, physical and spiritual well-being?
Without being over theological or preachy, Manoj's story allows the reader to see how God can work in one's life to create results that ordinarily you would consider out of reach. His story is tangible proof of God's mysterious power and for those interested to follow in Manoj's property mogul footsteps there's plenty to take on board from a business perspective too. Manoj demonstrates that being a businessman or woman and a person of faith are not mutually exclusive. They can go hand in hand.

Legend Custom Woodworking, Portland, OR
So two guys start a woodworking business out of a garage and, 30 years later, they've got a 26,000-sq.-ft. shop and 40 employees.
That's the short story behind Legend Custom Woodworking in Portland, Ore., which does most of its work for medical facilities, commercial food services, restaurants, offices, schools and high-rise condos.
The two guys are Gordon Lundquist and Don Gunstone, who founded the company in 1984 and, to this day, take turns managing the business. Through thick and thin, they've subscribed to the basic tenants of providing exceptional service with dependability and it's gotten them pretty far.
Employees to Employers
Originally from Seattle, Gunstone says he developed a strong appreciation for woodworking in school, but had a love for the trade as a child when he built model airplanes and birdhouses. He started out as a carpenter, before convincing a cabinetmaker to hire him. It was a good move because he enjoyed the work more, but no so good because the shop soon went out of business.
Gunstone started building decks and anything else to make ends meet when he crossed paths with Lundquist, who was doing the same thing. They teamed up and became partners.
"At first we worked out of Gordon's garage at his house, but there was too much noise, too many smells and the neighbors were very unhappy," Gunstone says. "We went to my garage at my house for a while after that. But there was not enough room there, so we rented a small property for a while right outside of Portland, then went into a larger commercial building nearby. In April 1993 we had the opportunity to purchase the building we're in now.
"We never had a business plan. The only plan we ever had was to service our customers. Our core values are what we are about and we want to make sure our customers get a quality product."
Portland and Beyond
The company today specializes in commercial work, supplying casework, millwork, windows, doors and staircases. It works closely with architects and builders and has extensive experience incorporating stone, solid-surface, metal and glass components into its projects.
"When we say we do commercial woodworking, that's very broad," says Gunstone. "We do a lot of cafeteria and food service outlets, we do one-off pieces such as tables and prep stations for restaurants and much more.
"We are probably the second- or third-largest shop in the area depending on the economy. Last year we were second."
Portland is the primary market, but San Francisco and Seattle are also in play. …
A Modern Shop
When about 75 percent of your work is supplied by referrals and repeat customers, advertising isn't a major concern. And there's no grand plan for future growth, according to Gunstone.
The company has annual revenue of $5 million to $7 million and has invested heavily in top-quality industrial machinery.
"Our goal for the last couple of years has been to keep on top of new machinery to stay on the cutting edge," Gunstone says. "We have a lot of modern German and Italian machines, like edgebanders, saws and CNCs. Most of them come from Stiles. These machines are very innovative and very necessary for our production schedule. …
"Things can get difficult with so many people on staff. A shop of around 10 would probably be easier. We run 30 to 40 jobs at any given time," Gunstone says. …
"We believe our success comes from keeping our core values, which reflect being loyal to clients, keeping up on industry changes such as in technology and keeping your quality at a very high level.
"I've really tried all my life to not have a shoulda, woulda or coulda attitude. I've taken those words out of my vocabulary. You just do the best you can with each day you have," Gunstone says.

About Me
Professor Campbell joined the faculty at Widener University in 2015. She chose to pursue her undergraduate and graduate studies in social work because of an enduring commitment to social justice and social change. This dedication has driven both her scholarly and teaching pursuits. Her research is focused on the interactive effects of community, family, and individual-level experiences of economic vulnerability and precarity on individuals' and families' economic, material, and social-emotional well-being.
As a professor, she strives to create an engaging, dynamic, and responsive learning environment that demonstrates and facilitates social and economic justice and social change. In doing so, she draws from her own practice to identify the professional skills and capacities social workers need for effective social and economic justice-oriented practice, as well as her own experiences as a learner to create an optimal learning environment in which these skills and capacities are modeled and emphasized.
By encouraging self-reflection, co-created learning spaces, and the collective aspects of learning, Professor Campbell's ultimate goal for all her students are for them to finish the course with confidence in the material, a sense of empowerment in being the leaders of their own learning, and an understanding of the link between their work, social justice, and social change.
Research Interests
We live in a world where employment is an expectation and often a requirement for accessing certain safety net supports, such as TANF. Yet, we are also in an era where stable work may be fleeting at best. Given this situation, my research interests have centered on the effects that this precarious condition can have on families' material and emotional well-being.
Currently, I am studying the relationship between families' economic vulnerability and children's social-emotional competence with a focus on family processes. In future research, I plan a continued investigation of the impact of economic vulnerability on family well-being, expanding this inquiry to gain a richer understanding of individual families' experiences with, and responses to, economic vulnerability and the consequent influence on family and child well-being. I am also interested in better understanding intersectionality of identities, particularly those identities that are outside of the dominant culture, and experiences of precarity.
By identifying the interactive effects that system, family, and individual-level experiences can have on the well-being of children and families, my research is intended to build policymakers' and practitioners' understanding of policies' and conditions' impact on families, thereby enabling appropriate policy and programmatic responses to be identified and implemented. In particular, I aim to conduct research that informs social workers' micro- and macro-level responses (ideally in an integrated manner), and by doing so, facilitates social and economic justice and social change.

New Chairman Howard Salles called us to order at 3 PM for the regularly scheduled meeting of the Tanglewood Master Activities Committee. We rose for the Pledge of Allegiance. Representatives of 24 committees were present, and a larger than average audience.
The Minutes of the October meeting were approved, Warren Smith, moved, Bob Larocque seconded. Passed unanimously.
The Treasurer's Reports were handed out for review. Those committees that were inactive over the summer months did not get a Committee Report if there was no financial business.
Tammy Martin gave the Park Manager's Report. She met with representatives of the Water Volleyball committee and some residents who had some complaints about their schedule. Tammy decided not to change the established schedule.
Billie Pimentel-Lopez gave the Activities Director's report.

- Be considerate when the hall is booked end-to-end. Don't overstay your reserved time and don't show up early when another group is finishing up.

- Billie remind us that she is willing to help committees in any way needed.
LouAnn Weix mentioned that at one of their big dances last year, an earlier event in the hall used all the ice, and they had to scramble to buy some at the last minute. Can that situation be avoided in the future? Tammy agreed, let her know when a big function is scheduled, and if there are more than one back-to-back they will bag ice in advance so everyone has enough.
The Committee Reports came next:

Optional fun: bring a wrapped white elephant gift to the parade for an exchange. Chairman Bob Larocque says it's time to upgrade the mics and battery packs.

Tammy met with representatives of the Committee and the complainants. She decided the time was not excessive, and the community at large had a goodly amount of time to enjoy the water.

Volleyball Chairman Ben Davis replied they never play on major holidays, ever.
Motion for adjournment came from several people; the next meeting will be December 20 at 3 PM.
Submitted for approval,
Shirley Kabet, Secretary

News – Resident Evil 4/ Code Veronica Heading into the HD Generation
March 23, 2011 by Simon Wigham
Filed under News
Famitsu has reported that two of the most cherished Resident Evil games are set to get HD versions on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and what's even better, is that the two are being sold together.
According to Andriasang, it could be called Resident Evil Revival Selection HD Remastered Version in western territories. What's more certain than the funny moniker it will be given is that it will include HD versions of Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica, two games that are generally well regarded by fans.
Perhaps there'll be more news next month at Capcom's Captivate event.

A time to change for the better
Every year, when we asked my father what he wanted for Christmas, it was like trying to get a member of the mob to spill his guts.
"OK, big guy, level with us! Whadya want from Santa? Pajamas? A power saw? A ticket to Vegas? A subscription to Playboy?"
No dice. He wouldn't talk. He'd sit tightlipped in his Barcalounger, doing crossword puzzles, until finally, after an agonizing interrogation, there was an infinitesimal sign of life and barely looking up from the page, he'd grumble, "Peace and quiet."
Then he'd ask, "What's a nine-letter word for doofus?"
I often wondered what good is "peace and quiet"? You can't grill it. You can't get drunk on it. You can't wear it. And you can't exchange it for a flat-screen TV.
Sure, the house could be loud and raucous. When the dog wasn't barking and my sisters weren't quarreling, the neighbors were partying. To tell the truth, "peace" was hard to find because someone was always causing mayhem.
If, as the angels suggested that night in Bethlehem, there was "Peace on Earth," why couldn't we have it in our home?
When Christmas morning rolled around, what my father got wasn't "peace and quiet" but rather slippers, underwear, flannel shirts and any number of gifts that looked like they were the top 10 best-sellers in the JCPenney catalog that year. (My mother nixed the Playboy subscription.) The day after Christmas, they ended up in his closet, still in the boxes.
Now, whenever my kids ask, "Dad, what do you want for Christmas?" I promptly respond, "peace and quiet." Like father, like son. You see, at this stage in life, the most important thing for me is family peace — although I wouldn't turn down an unsolicited digital subscription to Playboy for my iPad, but that isn't going to happen.
I want everyone to get along. I want everyone to sit around the dinner table together, laughing and joking and caring about one another. Even though we'll never be like those families in Norman Rockwell paintings, I sure as heck don't want us to be like the creepy families on TV.
My Christmas wish is a simple one — no bickering or backbiting, no sarcasm or text-messaging. Life is too short. Christmas is too special.
I've known families afflicted by strife, jealousy and ill will. Brothers and sisters don't talk, parents and children are estranged, husbands and wives snarl like rabid Rottweilers, and tension and anger hang over the holiday like a winter storm warning.
But Christmas should be a time to heal old hurts, a time to reconcile even if it means you have to be the one to hold out your hand first and say, "Merry Christmas" — without obsessing over who was right and who was wrong in a dispute that occurred 10 years ago. (Some people can't even remember why they're angry.)
Christmas should be an occasion for change, change for the better. I often think of that scene in A Christmas Carol when the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come shows Scrooge his grave and he wails, "I'm too old to change!" As it turned out, he wasn't too old. It's never too late.
Christmas should be a time to forget grudges, a time to let go of resentments, a time to forgive, a time for miracles. Those angels knew what they were talking about.
Merry Christmas.

First, the number of farmers and farm households, the area of cultivated land, and their spatial distribution were analyzed. Then, the production trend on rice, livestock, vegetables such as watermelon and leek, and pears was surveyed. Furthermore, by overlooking the features of each enterprise, food production as a regional agriculture was briefly examined. Farm management in Tottori pref. has long been a small scale selfsufficiency property, but has gradually decayed or specialized. Because agricultural workers are continuously decreasing and aging, farming in Tottori pref. should pay attention to the demand of world food while publicizing a process on food production and farmmanagement carefully.

Interested in a stock market trading on a price/earnings multiple of 5.35 and with a dividend yield of 13.7%?
A market that has less than 1% foreign ownership but could become the largest frontier market with a weighting of 20-25% in the next few years?
There's a catch of course. It is very difficult for western investors to access Iran. But that could change as soon as this week, should negotiations in Vienna prove successful, wrote the Financial Times.
"Iran's potential emergence from isolation could be the most significant opening of an economy since the fall of the Soviet Union and the US rapprochement with China," says Shahin Shamsabadi, head of business intelligence for the Middle East and North Africa at The Risk Advisory Group, a consultancy.
Dominic Bokor-Ingram, portfolio adviser at Charlemagne Capital, a London-based emerging markets house, adds: "Iran has a $106 billion market cap, $100 million daily turnover and very advanced settlement, trading and custody systems. You won't find another closed market anywhere else in the world with those characteristics."
Foreign investors are paying attention, according to Radman Rabii, vice president for international clients at Firouzeh Asia Brokerage, an arm of Turquoise Partners, a Tehran-based investment house.
Rabii claims his company has hosted delegations from more than 100 investment groups since a negotiating framework was agreed in Geneva in November 2013, a process that has accelerated since a blueprint was agreed in Lausanne in April.
These include almost every big investment house running emerging market, frontier or Middle East and North African (Mena) funds, he says.
"The potential of Iran is so huge. As one of the last markets to be opened up to the world, it has so many potential growth opportunities," Rabii adds.
Enthusiasts point to Iran's diverse economy and stock market. Despite having the world's largest combined oil and gas reserves, the hydrocarbon industry accounts for just 15% of Iran's gross domestic product, which as of 2013 was the 18th largest in the world measured by purchasing power parity, at $1 trillion or $16,165 a person.
In contrast, oil accounts for more than half of the GDP of rival Saudi Arabia, although the divergence is partly due to the sanctions that have cut Iran's oil production to 2.8 million barrels a day, from 3.6 million b/d in 2011.
With production costs of just $10-$15 a barrel, according to Turquoise, the easing of sanctions and return of western expertise and spare parts could boost production by 500,000 b/d within three to six months, according to Facts Global Energy, a consultancy, bolstering public finances.
Oil products account for just 6% of the market capitalization of Tehran's 316-company strong stock exchange, however, which has far bigger exposure to chemicals, banking and base metals.
Rabii points out that Iran is the largest car manufacturer in the Middle East, led by two listed companies making their own vehicles and those of French and Chinese marques: Iran Khodro, which produces 850,000 vehicles a year, and SAIPA, with a capacity of about 600,000.
Turquoise and Charlemagne have already agreed to join forces with an equity fund aimed at international investors, which is likely to be launched as soon as sanctions are lifted.
Bokor-Ingram says Charlemagne has had a "huge amount of interest" from both individuals and institutional investors.
Assuming an agreement is reached and sanctions lifted, he sees the possibility of a "triple whammy" for equity investors from a strengthening currency, a rise in corporate earnings and a re-rating of the market to something at least akin to the 15x earnings of Saudi Arabia, which alone would mean a tripling of share prices.
"Given the structure of the market and the potential growth companies, it should probably be on 20 times," says Bokor-Ingram, something he envisages could happen in the next three to four years.
He also sees opportunity in Iran's local currency corporate bond market. Legislation dictates that these bonds are guaranteed by the bank that sponsors them, rather than the issuer, and they must pay a minimum interest rate of 20%, potentially attractive given that inflation is 14% and falling.
Bokor-Ingram sees the appeal of such bonds as part of the reason why Iranian equities are so cheap.
Shamsabadi identifies significant foreign interest, whether in the form of portfolio or foreign direct investment, in five industries: energy, aviation, automotive, banking and fast-moving consumer goods, particularly retail and food and drink.
"[At the moment] people cannot walk downstairs to a Starbucks or Pret. Every franchise company is looking to get its franchise in Iran. It's kind of a race right now," he says.
Rabii is confident that foreign money will start flooding in soon after any agreement is signed and the Swift international currency clearing system, which has been suspended in Iran as part of the sanctions regime, is reinstated.
"[The Iranian stock market] has less than 1% foreign ownership, compared to Turkey, where it is around 60%," he says. "As soon as the Swift system reopens we will access a lot of money that has been sitting outside Iran waiting to come in.
"The Europeans [will be first]. A lot of them have continued doing business with areas that were not sanctioned by the EU. The Americans have been away almost 40 years now, so it's more exotic for them."
