Next I traced my open hand. When I looked at it I realized the opposite is a closed fist, so I did that as well and brainstormed words for both.
I also added business items and added the magazine page.
There were other pages started -1 coninuous line; adding stamps and fruit stickers, making circles.
I'm still having difficulty truly defacing the book - taking it for a walk, slinging food at it, taking it into the shower, or adding dirt.
At least I haven't given it a name!
I will try to get more destructive and "down and dirty" in the weeks to come.

It is becoming more and more evident as the days of this age come to an end, that the church of Jesus Christ is out of order and the function of the gifts that Jesus gave to the church have been forgotten in the seemingly endless stream of pastors, mega-churches, and the traditions of men that fill the souls of the congregants with false teachings in man-made buildings.
In Matthew 16:18 Jesus tells Peter that He would build His church upon this rock and the gates of hell would not prevail against it.
"And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
The church is NOT a building, and this is evident from the multiple buildings that have been burned down or destroyed in natural disasters over the years. Jesus meant that He would put His Spirit inside of Peter and his vessel would become the temple of God, part of the body of Christ, which is the church.
We can understand from Luke 6:13 that Jesus had called His disciples to Himself after spending the whole night in prayer to God, and chose twelve of them out of the gathering to be His apostles.
"And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;"
The ordination and appointing that these twelve disciples received was to a position of leadership that differed from the other disciples who were with Jesus. These twelve chosen men would also receive a greater anointing, preparation, training, teaching, and fellowship with Jesus than the rest of His disciples.
Mark 3:13-15
"And He went up on the mountain and called to Him those He Himself wanted. And they came to Him. Then He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach, and to have power to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons:"
Jesus did not appoint all the disciples that followed Him to the office of apostle and He only chose twelve to walk closely with Him so that He could prepare them to go out and preach, heal sicknesses and cast out demons.
Luke 8:1,9-10
"Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him,"
"Then His disciples asked Him, saying, "What does this parable mean?" And He said, "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that 'Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand."
These twelve disciples who were named apostles were with Jesus everywhere He went, and they were chosen to receive the mysteries of the kingdom of God. Everyone else Jesus spoke to, He spoke in parables and they could not see, or understand what He was saying.
Paul, who was also called to be an apostle said in 1st Cor. 4:1
"Let a man so consider us (apostles), as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God."
Matthew 28:16-20
"Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
When we re-examine the scriptures that are commonly called 'the great commission' and we contrast them with the scriptures in Luke 6:13 and Mark 3:14-15 we can see that Jesus did not tell every disciple then or every professing Christian today, to go out, preach the gospel, heal sicknesses, cast out demons, make disciples, baptize them, and teach them everything Jesus commanded. That wouldn't be possible because these eleven original apostles were physically taught by Jesus and were with Him for three and a half years during His earthly ministry. (Judas we know hung himself)
Acts 1:1-3
"The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God."
In these scriptures we read Jesus giving His chosen apostles commandments and talking to them about the kingdom of God, this is before they were sent out to preach and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
In Acts 1:21-26 we see the replacement of Judas with one of the disciples who had been with Jesus and the other apostles from the beginning of His ministry, this is more evidence of the many other disciples that followed Jesus.
"Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection." And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed and said, "You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place." And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles."
Paul told the Ephesians that they had become citizens with the saints and members of the household of God because they had been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets.
Ephesians 2:19-20
"Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,"
And in Ephesians 4:11-12 we are given the five gifts or offices that Jesus gave to the church for the edification of the saints, and the building up of the body of Christ.
"And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,"
1st Corinthians 12:28-30
"Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?"
In these scriptures we see that we are all the body of Christ and members individually, but God appointed leaders in the church, without leaders there would be no order, and we can see in 1st Cor. 14 how Paul the apostle had to set things in order so that the assembly of the saints could function the way God wants it to.
In conclusion there is an order in the church and each office has a role or function in the church. When this order becomes disorderly and the traditions of man nullify the commandments of God, we see the effects of a powerless gospel preached by those who are not called, ordained, appointed, and sent by Jesus to be a leader in His church. The Lord has spoken through His prophets and prophesied of a time of restoration in the last days, and I believe that time is very near, even at the door.
May God bless and keep you,

The European Union's top negotiator for Britain's withdrawal from the bloc has warned that chances for a hard and disorderly Brexit have never been higher after members of the British parliament refused for a second time to endorse a divorce deal signed between London and the EU.
Michel Barnier said on Wednesday that no one should underestimate chances for a no-deal Brexit at the end of March despite hopes that delaying Brexit beyond March 29, the date on which Britain is expected to leave the EU, would enable the British government to finally secure a divorce deal in the parliament.
Barnier's comments came a day after the House of Commons rejected an improved version of Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal by 391 to 242 vote. The parliament had rejected the original agreement on January 15 with a historic margin of 230 votes. Lawmakers are expected to vote on a no-deal withdrawal and a delayed Brexit on Wednesday and Thursday respectively.
Barnier said, however, that delaying Brexit would do nothing to solve the current standoff, insisting that London and Brussels have already concluded their talks and there is nothing left to negotiate. Speaking to members of the EU parliament in Strasbourg, France, he added that EU Commission chief Jean-Clasude Juncker had reiterated that London would not be able to extend the Article 50 of EU's Lisbon Treaty, a mechanism it triggered in 2016 to start the leave process, in order to delay Brexit beyond March 29.
"Why would we extend these discussions?" he said, adding, "The discussion on article 50 is done and dusted. We have the withdrawal agreement. It is there. President Juncker also said that there will be no further interpretations, no further assurances - we cannot go any further."
However, senior EU leaders said on Wednesday they still hoped to avoid a disorderly British withdrawal although they admitted the Tuesday vote in the Commons had made the situation more complicated.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said options for Brexit had become more limited after the Commons vote, but she said that avoiding a hard Brexit was still possible.
"We have not given up the goal of an orderly exit (for Britain) but yesterday's events mean the options have become narrower," said Merkel while regretting Tuesday's humiliating defeat for May in the British parliament.
Merkel said the EU would decide on how to proceed with Brexit after the votes on no-deal and a delayed withdrawal ends in the British parliament.
Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz also said that EU's objective was still to avoid hard Brexit, a scenario which experts say would have dire economic implications for both Britain and the EU.
Kurz said EU heads of government would unanimously support any decision to avoid a hard Brexit.
"I assume that among the (EU) heads of government there is the unanimous view that it makes sense to avoid a no-deal scenario, a so-called hard Brexit," he said.
The Austrian leader insisted, however, that the EU would support delaying Breixt if the British parliament approved he option in the Thursday vote.
"If that all happens as outlined, then we support this course of action," Kurz told a news conference in Vienna.

The Tattoo'd America Pop-up Attraction, opening April 11 at Pop Vegas at The LINQ Promenade at the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, announces its partnership with Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum. Tattoo'd America will feature onsite a Sailor Jerry museum-within-a-museum which will include a unique collection of famed tattoo artist Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins' original tattoo flash sheets and photography. In addition, visitors will be able participate in a Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum cocktail tasting experience.
Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins, the Navy vet who became famous for his all-American inking of soldiers and sailors in World War II-era Honolulu, had an undeniable influence on the tattoo world. Among his achievements, he invented the color purple for ink and promoted the use of clean and sterile needles. Inspired by Collins' dedication to his crafts, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum exemplifies his spirit when crafting their rum.
"Norman 'Sailor Jerry' Collins is the godfather of the traditional tattoo and he lived his life unapologetically and outside the lines, and to be able to share that work with old school and new school tattoo fans is what Sailor Jerry is all about," said Ashley Thomas, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum brand ambassador.
Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum is blended and bottled in America. Just like Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins, who spent his time both in the U.S. Navy and then tattooing sailors in his home of Honolulu, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum is proud of its American roots.
Tattoo'd America Pop-Up Attraction, Pop Vegas' first interactive pop-up experience, celebrates the artistic, provocative, expressive and—because Vegas!—SEXY appeal of the tattoo. In an immersive, dazzlingly visual "funhouse" atmosphere, Tattoo'd America encompasses more than a dozen interactive displays and 500 works of art. In addition to engaging in provocative and colorful photo opportunities, visitors to Tattoo'd America will have the opportunity to share the sentiments behind their own tattoos at the My Tattoo, My Story photo booth and touchscreen wall. Onsite services include live tattooing in the Buzz Tattoo Studio, temporary ink and henna tattoos, body painting and hand marbling. For more information, visit http://tattoodamerica.com and follow on social media: @tattoodamerica.
Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum was created to honor Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins, a Navy vet who built his rep inking soldiers and sailors in WWII-era Honolulu where he established his legendary tattoo parlor and himself as the undisputed father of American old school tattooing. Crafted in the traditional Navy way by William Grant & Sons, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum is bold and smooth, with hints of caramel and vanilla. Just like the man who inspired it, this 92-proof rum speaks for itself and holds itself to the traditional values and standards of craftsmanship that Norman Collins espoused. Made in America from Caribbean Rum and blended with spices including ginger, cinnamon, clove and vanilla, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum is an exceptionally smooth drink with an ABV of 46%. From the liquid itself to the packaging, every detail of Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum stays true to the vision of Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins.

The wedge-shaped Imperial Star Destroyer is a capital ship bristling with weapons emplacements. Turbolasers and tractor beam projectors dot its surface. Its belly hangar bay can launch TIE fighters, boarding craft, land assault units, hyperspace probes, or be used to hold captured craft. In the days of the Empire, its bustling bridge would be staffed by the finest crewers in the Imperial starfleet. Its presence in a system mark matters of extreme Imperial import. Though, as is typical of the Empire, not even the Star Destroyer was enough to sate the Imperial hunger for displays of power. Larger vessels, such as the Super Star Destroyer, dwarf even these giants.

Bonus: New Moon healing and meditation ritual video per your zodiac sign!
It's Wednesday, the infamous hump day of the week, star signs, and your daily horoscope is IN!
Around 1:30 AM, EST the New Moon enters in the sign of Virgo then later this month on September 22nd the Moon enters Libra!
No two signs are more complimentary in their differences than Libra and Virgo. Why? Because Libra, and it's need for fairness and balance invites critical spirited, in the name of love, Virgo to be more kind, compassionate and caring.
A New Moon is a wonderful season of closure and fresh starts where forgiveness (even if there's no forgetting) can begin.
For all zodiac signs, Libra and Virgo paired during the week of the Fall Equinox means you can harvest the best outcomes for your efforts.
But this is also a time of curiosity and relationships.

Want to check out your weekly horoscope for September 16th - September 23rd? We've got you covered right HERE!
No matter how you choose to celebrate the New Moon for your particular zodiac sign or acknowledge this week's astronomical events.
There's lots of ancient paths to follow: whether it be meditating by water or a drum ceremony in your own back yard, do take a moment to connect with the higher energy of the universe and invite healing in your work, your relationships, and your mind
As 5 planets reside in mutable zodiac sign energies, all zodiac signs enter a time of flexibility.
Flexible thinking is needed for creative and strategic planning (family holidays and a get together, or making early shopping lists —Virgo style).
Or for making things work out best at work with scheduling, or children's activities, even starting a new schedule for back to college individuals.
As the Moon goes into the sign of Libra, what seemed to matter so intensely takes a rest as Libra looks outside of situations to find balance.
Virgo Sun is still holding things together in the accountability department, but jointly, their energy makes things work out for the best of all.
What does this mean for your zodiac sign?
- Fire zodiac signs: Virgo and Libra energy
- Water zodiac signs: Virgo and Libra energy
- Earth zodiac signs: Virgo and Libra energy
- Air zodiac signs: Virgo and Libra energy
Today, Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio and Capricorn have a power day with Virgo getting a double dose of energy. Best activities to do today involve buying a new family pet or starting a new job, and purchasing herbal remedies for healing teas.

The Strange Case of Finley Jayne (Steampunk Chronicles, #0.5) by Kady Cross
Genres: Young Adult, Steampunk, Mystery, Science Fiction
Rating: 5 out of 5
Short reaction: Fascinating preview having tons of action right away through a young heroine!
Finley Jayne knows she's not 'normal'. Normal girls don't lose time, or have something inside them that makes them capable of remarkably violent things. Her behavior has already cost her one job, so when she's offered the lofty position of companion to Phoebe, a debutante recently engaged to Lord Vincent, she accepts, despite having no experience. Lord Vincent is a man of science with his automatons and inventions, but Finley is suspicious of his motives where Phoebe is concerned. She will do anything to protect her new friend, but what she discovers is even more monstrous than anything she could have imagined…
My Thoughts
The strange case of Finley Jayne is her supernatural strengths. She may not be able to control her temper sometimes but she (so far) uses this in a good way especially when protecting the people she serves or her loved ones. And in this new job, she protects her new companion, Lady Phoebe from the mad scientist/mechanic Lord Vincent and him marrying her.
The setting is in London which is a perfect lovely setting for this historical yet robotic era of automatons, mechanical horses against bright pastel ball gowns and finely cut suits of Ladies and Lords, Counts and Countesses.
I could imagine Cinder along the lines of metal and brass while Tris of Divergent with Finley's curious mind and strength given that she's only sixteen to knock out armed men or even mechanical inventions. Finley, even not a prodigy nor a genius is likable for her smartness and the devil inside her actually does no harm.
But this is just the start. I reckon there's more action as the main event starts! Whew! 🙂

March Madness odds for the weekend have sixteen games, eight on Saturday and eight on Sunday.
There are some definite trends to consider as you look at the second round in March Madness betting.
March Madness odds match the top seeds against the winner of the 8-9 game. Keep in mind that the #16 seed has never made it to round two so we will assume they won't this year either. The #1 seeds get to the Sweet Sixteen almost 9 times out of 10. Every so often you will see an upset but not very often. They could be due this year though since the last time a top seed lost in the second round was in 2004.
The #2 seeds are normally going to be alive in the second round since they usually win against the #15 seeds. That will have them playing the winner of the 7-10 game. You would think the #2 seeds would win most of the time and make the Sweet Sixteen. Well, it hasn't worked out as well as you think. Usually at least one and perhaps two of the #2 seeds will fall in this round. Last year was an aberration as all four #2 seeds made it to the Sweet Sixteen. It is extremely unlikely that will happen in two straight years. The #10 seeds are the teams to watch in March Madness odds in this round.
Another part of the bracket in round two will have the winners of the 4-13 and 5-12 games meeting in March Madness odds. Of all of the second round matchups this is the toughest one to predict. Anything is possible in these games and the March Madness betting trends don't give you much of an edge.
The #3 seeds are interesting in this round if they survived the matchup in the first round against the #14 seeds. You have them facing the winner of the 6-11 first round game. The team to take in this round might surprise you. It is the #6 seed. They do very well in this round. Even the #11 seeds do well against the #3 seeds in this round. Again, last year was an aberration as three number three seeds made the Sweet Sixteen. That usually does not happen. Every once in a while you will get an 11 vs. 14 matchup in this round and when that happens the #11 seeds have won every time in March Madness odds.

The cave may have been used as a staging area from which the jihadists could rest and eat.
Directorate 4, a Telegram channel monitoring the security situation in Iraq and Syria, reported the find, saying that US MRE (Meal, Ready-to-Eat) individual field rations packaging was found in the terrorists' cave.
"Daesh shelter found by Iraqi forces in southern Mosul."
The channel explained that in addition to caches of weapons and ammunition, the Iraqi military has also been finding these kinds of Daesh (ISIS)* underground shelters where the jihadists could get a bit of rest and relaxation. Directorate 4 added that it can be assumed that some of these secret facilities continue to be used.
The Syrian and Iraqi militaries have been finding large stocks of weapons, ammunition, and other supplies in territories once controlled by Daesh. On Monday, Syrian Army units discovered a massive pile of US and European-made weapons inside Daesh hideouts near the eastern Syrian city of Deir ez-Zor.
Daesh declared a 'caliphate' in Iraq in 2014, capturing Mosul, the city's second-largest city, and expanding west into Syria. With the combined efforts of the Iraqi military and the Kurdish militias and the support of the US-led coalition, the terrorist group was driven out of Iraq; the Syrian Army and its Russian and Iranian allies have fought to liberate the Daesh-controlled areas of Syria, with Kurdish forces doing their part in northern Syria.
As of late February 2018, the terrorists' holdings have been reduced to a few isolated pockets of territory in eastern Syria.

Zimbabwe ready to sell elephants to 'anyone who wants wildlife'
Zimbabwe plans to sell elephants to Angola and is prepared to ship wild animals to any other interested countries as the southern African nation seeks to reduce its elephant population due to growing conflict between people and wildlife.
"We have no predetermined market for elephant sales, we are open to everyone who wants our wildlife," tourism minister Prisca Mupfumira said in an interview on the sidelines of a wildlife summit in Victoria Falls. "`the country has 'excess' of 30,000 of the animals."
"The main problem is landmines in Angola, so we are trying to assist them by having a fund to deal with those before we send the animals."

Dr. Clayton Lawrence, CEO, shares his thoughts in a weekly column focused on overall wellness in an otherwise toxic world. (Always consult with your own physician before beginning any new diet/exercise routine).
Although nothing beats the fresh air and sunshine of being outdoors, sometimes Mother Nature insists the earth needs a little (or a big) drink. A hike, run, bike ride or refreshing swim might be out of the question, especially where thunder and lightning are involved, but there are plenty of safe and healthy activities that can be done inside to keep the mind and body in tip-top shape.
It may take a creative thinker to squeeze in a workout with nothing but a vacuum and a toddler, but we've got you covered. So, next time the rain makes you reconsider your outdoor fun, consider a few of our ideas that are sure to inspire, encourage and change your attitude toward the four walls of your home.
For the brain
Try out a few of your grandma's favorite puzzle books and brain teasers.
Explore your smartphone for brain-fueling apps, like Lumosity, Duolingo and Peak.
Play a solo card game or join others in a game that challenges the mind.
Dust off those board games like Scrabble and Cranium for a fun, creative challenge.
Read a good novel, biography or memoir.
Try your hand at structured poetry, like Haiku.
Discover the incredible benefits of meditation.
For the body
Give your house a deep cleaning, which will no doubt require some heavy lifting, squats, and a good deal of sweating.
Turn on your favorite play list and dance like no one's watching.
If you have a two-story home, use the steps for an excellent lower body workout.
Toddlers love to be involved and they make great weights for that upper body workout.
Redesign a room by arranging furniture and search for opportunities to work out the arms and legs.
Use your smart device to connect with others through online fitness programs like Daily Burn or Crunch Live.
If you must watch your favorite TV show, walking or pacing is a great way to squeeze in a low-impact activity.
Raid the pantry and challenge yourself to create a healthy meal or dessert with just the items you have on hand.
Use the time to create a healthy meal plan, which helps cut back on impulsive eating and spending.

|Australia Day, January 26. Blending right in.
Sigh. I really really miss you guys.
So, what I found here, at a Tuesday morning book opening at the Strathpine library, was a roomful of poets. For those of you who remember reading my one attempt at poetry a few years back (and I'm sorry if you do!), poetry is NOT my strong point. Andrew seems to have that rhythm, but I don't.
Still, I can enjoy it and so I walked right in.
|The Canadian Mounted they ain't! But then again, we don't have any aggressive neighbours to the south to protect against!
First off these are Aussies. So I was welcomed with open arms. Secondly, they were mostly men, retired, and so....yeah, I was welcomed with open arms. (Never mind make-up and exercising, just head into a room of men in their sixties for a quick pick-me up!) And when I mentioned that I wrote mostly personal narrative right now that didn't stop 'em for a minute. In fact, a couple of them started right in reciting their poetry.
And that is how I was introduced to Australian Bush Poetry, a cousin of American Cowboy Poetry, an artform I find lively, sharp, witty, insightful, entertaining and imminently accessible to the masses. I like it. Whether I have any talent in that direction remains to be seen, but I have been invited to BI-MONTHLY meetings. In any case, I need the push of creative individuals around me again. And I am certainly more than willing to try something new. Even in a roomful of poets.
|Australian Pride. If only we didn't have that British heritage that is going to force this poor child to eat Lammingtons. How about a good fudge brownie instead?
Funny enough, I had been on Jim's photo blog http://jimmartinphotoblog.blogspot.com/ only the day before and bemoaning the fact that I was unable to find a way to create those pictures in words. I appreciate the visual much more than I ever did but I still feel my strong point is words. (And Jim, your words TO the pictures make the pictures come alive for me. The shots themselves are beautiful, but for me at least, it's the words you add to the pictures that make the story breathe.) I'm a words lady, I guess. (No kidding, right?!)
And here these guys are, creating living images out of words.
The other thing I liked is that Noel is able to write about something very personal, like national pride or national spirit, without becoming bogged down in trite sentiment and moralizing. Two of my weaknesses. These poems are FUN. They convey the message, but they do it with light-hearted laughter. There is no need for explanation. (Oh dear, whatever will I do without my pithy life lessons at the end of every essay?!)
|I'm still a shy photographer at best. But I can catch'em on the sly!
So that I went right home that night and stayed up three hours composing the beginnings of my OWN Bush Ballad. I had the rhythms in my head from Noel's reading and I believe I may have finally found a form to convey my sense of self without beating you all over the head with it.
The judgement is still out on whether reminiscences about GERMANY can be called AUSTRALIAN poetry but, unlike Germany and England who have officially declared multiculturalism to be a failure in their countries (and you'd better believe I have an essay on that!), Australia is proud of its migrant heritage.
So here goes. And even if it IS terrible, I've got some photos from Dresden interspersed to make it worth your while. If noone else, I think my Daddy will get a kick out of it!
|My Southern Cross!

HB & Hw
Commitment and freedom. Today we are into
commitment and freedom. In our reading from
the book of Joshua we are into commitment and
The Shechem covenant ratifies the covenant of
our Old Testament fathers in the faith, Abraham
and Moses. This time it takes place in the
Promised Land itself.
No easy ratification of the covenant here. The
Shechem ratification demands a people of
maturity and freedom. What is more Joshua
insists on the difficulty of serving the Lord.
Joshua insists on the demands that the covenant
will make on the people.
The people plead their willingness. The
people plead their willingness to adopt the
covenant anyway. And so all is signed, sealed
and delivered in written form, with the setting up
of a standing stone and by a sacrificial meal.
In our Eucharist we continue to use the language
of covenant. In the Mass we celebrate the
covenant of God's preferential love for us. In
the Mass we renew our free choice and
preference for God. God binds himself-to us
and we bind ourselves to God. We accept the
covenant gift and we accept the covenant
commitment but in total freedom, in the Mass.
In our Eucharist we are called to commitment.
Jesus shares his gifts with us and points us
towards a commitment that leads through
footwashing to death on the cross.
You see our hold on the Eucharist is never so
final that we cannot detect the question of the
Lord "What about you, do you want to go away
This morning we stand with Peter. This
morning we stand with Peter and respond, "Lord
who shall we go to? You have the message of
eternal life, and we believe; we know that you
are the Holy One of God."
And that is our covenant, and that is our
commitment and that is our freedom.

Czech Republic: Czech koruna strengthens in February
February 29, 2012
On 29 February, the Czech koruna (CZK) traded at 24.8 per EUR, which was 1.4% stronger than the CZK 25.2 per EUR recorded in the previous month. The figure followed a 2.4% appreciation in January. Nonetheless, at the current level, the koruna is still trading 2.0% weaker than the same month last year. The gains observed in January and February have pulled the Czech koruna ahead, and is now trading back at the levels observed in September 2011. The CZK, together with other emerging market currencies, strengthened in late February, due to the European Central Bank's decision to launch a second long-term refinancing operation (LTRO). The ECB helped the banks in the Eurozone providing EUR 530 billion in long-term loans in order to avert a credit crunch. Part of these additional resources is likely to reach FX markets in Eastern Europe. The Czech National Bank expects the koruna to average 24.9 per EUR this year, before strengthening further to an average CZK 24.3 EUR in 2013.

Goldberry Hunting Labs
When I look at the current state of field Labs, I see many unresolved issues. The largest concern is soundness. The number one problem is poor knee angulation creating anterior cruciate ligament weakness. Our answer is to make sure all hunting stock is bred to at least 50% conformation lines plus using old field stock with few field champions in the pedigrees. Our success is even surprising to us with limited ACL problems and calm, close hunting, superior field dogs.
Can conformation dogs hunt? You bet they can! We have had breedings produce both hunt test and show champions from the same litter. A Goldberry show champion sired the Wisconsin Gun Dog Puppy Of The Year 2004. A superior upland dog you can live with. A concept being embraced by hunters and their families.

Major Gogoi Found Guilty In Srinagar Hotel Case, Likely To Be Court-Martialed
On Monday, the Army's Court of Inquiry (CoI) ordered disciplinary action against Major Leetul Gogoi, who was detained by police after he was found with a young Kashmiri woman in a hotel in Srinagar. The court held him accountable for "fraternising with locals in spite of instructions to the contrary and for being away from the place of duty while in the operational area." He will likely to face a court-martial.
According to The Indian Express, after the Corps Commander's approval of CoI's findings, the Army authorities will frame charges against the Major as per the relevant provisions of the Army Act. The court will then decide to either punish the officer or convene a court-martial to try the officer.
The inquiry has been ordered
The incident happened on May 23, when the Major was trying to enter a hotel room with an 18-year-old girl. The Hotel authorities did not allow the officer to go inside which lead to an argument. Another man, other than Major Gogoi was also present there. The trio had been questioned by Srinagar police in May this year after an argument erupted at the Hotel Grand Mamta where the staff refused to let the woman in. Additionally, an inquiry has been ordered against the officer as per the Army regulations.
The officer was later handed over to his unit. The Superintendent of Police, North City, Sajad Ahmad Shah, who was asked by IGP (Kashmir) S P Pani to conduct an inquiry in the case, said, the police were told that a room in the hotel had been booked in the name of Leetul Gogoi.
"No case is made out against Gogoi, and neither the hotelier nor the girl had filed any complaint," told the status report to a Srinagar court on May 31 this year. The Army's Court of Inquiry (COI), headed by a Brigadier, has taken the testimonies of Major Gogoi and other Army officers concerned.
Earlier, Army Chief General Bipin Rawat said, an exemplary punishment would be given to Major Gogoi if he was found guilty of "any offence".
Human shield case
This is the second controversy that Major Gogoi has landed himself into. Last year, the officer had hit the headline after tying a civilian to a jeep and using him as a shield against stone pelters. The civilian was driving through several villages of Budgam in Jammu and Kashmir during polling in the Srinagar Lok Sabha by-election on April 9.
Army Chief General Rawat had supported the young officer's action at that time and honoured him with the Army chief's 'Commendation Card' for his 'sustained efforts' in counter-insurgency operations, reported Economic Times.

Top Hits Playlists Miss-match?
I love the new Top hits playlist, but when I researched each song and they're respective years, I found some songs that didn't fit into the playlists.
In the "Top Hits 2011" playlist you've just released I've found the following singles listed to be released in 2010, not 2011:
Firework by Katy Perry
Grenade by Bruno Mars
F**k You by Cee Lo Green
Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri
Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People
Just the Way by Bruno Mars
Tonight by Enrique Iglesias
Raise Your Glass by P!nk
F**kin' Perfect by P!nk
What's My Name by Rihanna & Drake
I have also found that in the "Top Hits 2012" Playlist the following singles were released in 2010:
Firework by Katy Perry
Teenage Dream by Katy Perry
Grenade by Bruno Mars
Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People
and the following singles were released in 2011:
Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5
Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen
Wild Ones by Flo Rida
We Are Young by fun.
Mean by Taylor Swift
You Da One by Rihanna
Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye
Good Feeling by Flo Rida
International Love by Pitbull
Paradise by Coldplay
It Will Rain by Bruno Mars
Birthday Cake by Rihanna
Domino by Jessie J
I am uncertain if this was intentional, perhaps your plan was to put them into the playlists of the years they have top positions in the billboard top 100 charts, which you have successfully done overall. Either way, thank you for your attention.

With the resurgence of research surrounding nutrition and fitness, it's no wonder our approaches to energy consumption and expenditure have significantly advanced. But in the world of tracking macros and meal prepping, some pretty important dietary components still remain ignored. Two words: vitamins and minerals.
Though not as precise as macronutrient tracking, establishing a rough estimate of your micronutrients, like vitamin and mineral intake, can provide a better sense of where you may be lacking. The best way to track them? Get to know your food sources.
For vitamin K, the food sources are numerous, varied, and delicious. But not all vitamin K is the same.
Say hello to vitamin K. In 1929, Henrik Dam was the first to greet this nutrient after discovering the lack of it was causing hemorrhaging in chicks being fed a low-fat diet.1
Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin that can be stored in the body's liver and fatty tissues. Because the vitamin dissolves in fats, it can only be properly absorbed when paired with one.
That means if you're going to eat vitamin-K rich foods, you should pay attention to what you're eating with them. Try olive oil, avocado, nuts, cheeses or other natural fats to ensure optimal intake of your vitamin K.
Subscribe, and we'll send you advice from our experts, from nutrition and training to supplements and nootropics.
Vitamin K is blood-curdling. Luckily, not in the horror genre way but in the necessary-for-blood-clotting way. When Henrik Dam discovered vitamin K, he fittingly named it "Koagulations vitamin," which is where we get the K.
Vitamin K goes through its own cycle in the body. During this metabolic process, the vitamin undergoes chemical changes to become a cofactor for enzymes required to award proteins the elite title of Gla. Gla proteins are non-negotiable for blood-clotting, bone metabolism, and optimal heart health.
The matrix Gla protein (MGP) inhibits the calcification of your arteries and cartilage by regulating calcium deposition. It's kind of like sending a special agent to collect the calcium ions in your bloodstream. Reduced coronary calcification through higher vitamin K intake may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.2
You know the old saying—you need calcium for strong bones.
But calcium can't get to work as the mineral building block until you offer up vitamin K. Vitamin K regulates the osteocalcin protein so that it can bind with calcium and maintain your bone mineral density (BMD). No vitamin K, no binding.3 Because of this bone bolstering, higher dietary K intake has been shown to decrease fracture risk4 and reduce the rate of bone loss.5
Strong bones? Check. Strong heart? Check.
Strong brain? Check it out; vitamin K modulates the metabolism of major cell membrane components found in high concentrations in your central and peripheral nervous system.
Known as sphingolipids, these compounds are major players in cellular events, like proliferation, differentiation, and cell-to-cell interaction.6 Vitamin K's role in this lipid modulation relies on its relationship to two proteins: Protein S, lauded for its neuronal protection and Gas6, active in cell growth and survival.7
As you get familiar with your vitamin K food sources, there's one more thing to bear in mind: there are two different kinds of vitamin K. You need both.
Vitamin K1 is also known as phylloquinone. On your typical list of foods high in vitamin K, K1 is the star. You need a minimum of 50mcg of K1 every day, with higher doses of 120mcg recommended.
Vitamin K2, or menaquinone, is recommended at slightly higher doses. Daily, you should aim to get at least 100mcg. The catch? Vitamin K2 is found in fewer food sources. Often, these sources are not friendly for specialized diets, as K2 is most abundant in fermented food sources and animal products, such as eggs and cheeses.
You may be surprised how many common foods contain a decent amount of vitamin K. Keep in mind that this is not a comprehensive list; the following sources are merely some of the densest K contenders.8,9
Dark green leafy vegetables are essential for a well-rounded diet. In terms of fiber and nutrient content, these veggies top the charts. Luckily, vitamin K1 is found at its highest doses in each green leaf, with the following amounts reported in single cup servings:
Other green vegetables (and herbs) also top the charts with their vitamin K content in one cup servings:
If you're looking for more satiating sources of vitamin K, legumes may be your best bet. Full of fiber, fats, and protein, these beans and peas can keep you full (of vitamin K) for hours. In a 100 gram serving, they boast the following amounts of vitamin K1:
Between meals of chicken liver, fava beans, and kale, you'll probably need a snack. Try reaching for a crunchy K contender, like nuts. In addition to being a great source of healthy fats, nuts are a great vitamin K1 food to add to your repertoire. Here's how much K1 some nuts boast in a single ounce:
Looking for a sweeter K1 source? Let's not forget what fruits can bring in a single cup:
The highest natural food source of vitamin K2 is just another version of a food from our K1 list: soybeans. However, the preparation changes how much vitamin K these beans can provide.
Natto is a fermented soybean dish from Japan with a taste most often described as acquired. Natto's K2 content tops out every list at 850mcg in a three ounce serving.
Offal may not be your top food choice, but it does top the vitamin K2 food lists. Here's the vitamin K2 content of 100 grams of each of the following meats:
If you find offal to be, well, awful, other animal products are high in vitamin K2. Here's the rundown of other creamy sources in 100 gram servings:
If you'll recall your daily intake targets (50mcg of K1 and 100mcg of K2), you'll see that a simple three-egg spinach and cheddar omelette will provide more than enough of each. A hefty scoop of cilantro-laden guacamole and a spoonful of goose liver pate at that potluck will also get the job done.
Despite its abundance in popular food sources and endless pairing combinations, vitamin K deficiency is still a prevailing issue for many.
When vitamin K deficiency becomes serious, the symptoms are equally troublesome: excessive bleeding, bruising, blood clotting under nails, and even dark blood-containing stool.
If any of these sound familiar, you may want to ask your doctor about performing a prothrombin test (PT). In this test, a healthcare professional draws a small amount of blood and adds a chemical to induce clotting. If the clotting takes longer than the usual 11 to 13.5 seconds, you may be deficient.
There are several factors that can contribute to vitamin K deficiency. We'll start with the fact that American adults are consuming less vitamin K1 and K2 than the recommended daily intake set by the US Food and Drug Administration.10 But even if you're getting plenty from your diet, you may have malabsorption syndrome as a result of another condition, such as cystic fibrosis or trauma-induced damage.11
Whatever the case, adequate K1 and K2 intake should not be overlooked. Willing to eat your leafy greens but not fermented soybeans? No worries—you can always cover all your vitamin K bases by taking a supplement, especially one that boasts vitamin K1 and K2 alongside vitamin D for optimal bone and cardiovascular health.12,13
Remember that you need at least 50mcg of K1 and 100mcg of K2. Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin, so you'll want to take the dietary supplement at mealtimes containing a fat source, like olive oil or some cheese (for an extra boost of K2).
If you're on any antihemorrhagic medications (blood thinners), such as Coumadin, you should not combine them with a vitamin K supplement unless otherwise instructed by your healthcare provider.
Vitamin K is essential for blood-clotting, bone, and cardiovascular health. Both K1 and K2 are required for optimal body and brain health. While K1 is primarily found in leafy greens, K2 has a home in meat and animal products.
Vitamin K supplements such as Kado are a great way to ensure you're getting the proper amount of both types. Knocking your daily requirement out in a single swallow always frees up your micronutrient-tracking time to enjoy other activities made better by vitamin K's robust mind and body benefits.
Now that you know where to find vitamin K, you're ready to enjoy our comprehensive guide about its full body (and mind) benefits.

Forget politics for a second and listen to a son's words about his father. This will make you laugh...and cry.
Barbara Bush, the late President George H.W. Bush's granddaughter, has a theory why he died before Christmas. She thinks it's because George and his wife Barbara never spent a Christmas apart from each other, ever since he returned from World War II on that Christmas Eve in 1942. Barbara passed earlier this year, in April.

A loss to Clemson would not occur to the fore than again for 112 years. Due to the supplementary scholastic football playoff system, the rivalry has been reborn, and it is stronger than ever.
The Early Years
There is not a improved phrase to footnote the at the forefront years in the Alabama-Clemson rivalry than usefully, every second dominance. After a bumpy begin in the 1900s, the Crimson Tide reigned get throughout every rivalry. The consent-going on stayed sound for at least all four years along in the midst of 1900 and 1913, but after Bamas 20-0 victory in 1913, the two teams didnt meet by now following again until 1931.

The rivalry picked support taking place and stayed rather consistent. Between 1931 and 1936, Alabama outscored Clemson by a quantity of 172 points. Under the helm of the legendary Paul Bear Bryant, the Crimson Tide met the Tigers in 1966, 30 years after their previous go together in the midst of-happening. The Tide continued its dominance and provocation Clemson all single year together surrounded by 1966 and 1969.
After that 1969 victory, the two teams did not meet gone than anew until 1975. But, nothing distorted plus those five years of absence. The Crimson Tide yet prevailed in a 56-0 obliterate the length of. As per occurring to going on to pleasurable, there was a large gap in years taking into account Alabama and Clemson would go head-to-head again. 33 years to be rework.

Both teams surpassed the semifinals and made it to the National Championship game. For the first period by now 2008, the Tide and Tigers were set for what would soon become an annual contest.

It's well-used. It's busy. And It's vital for efficiency in your every-day life. There's no doubt about it: your kitchen is the unsung hero of the home. That's why, when it comes to doing your kitchen re-model, you don't want to stuff it up. It needs to be right, and right first time.
We've noticed that there are a few common mistakes that a lot of homeowners make when they undertake a kitchen re-model. And let's face it: this is a project that's going to affect the look, practicality and re-sale value of your home! So, to help you avoid these blunders we've put together this list of 5 things to consider:
Don't go DIY
A lot of people think that a DIY kitchen makeover will save them a heap: the reality is that it could wind up costing you a heap. Unless you are a qualified kitchen maker, don't be tempted to do it yourself: it isn't as easy as just ripping out the old cabinets and installing new ones. Firstly, you may need permits. Secondly, if you don't have the necessary skill set, you could do serious damage to yourself and your home in the process. And thirdly, there's the issue of quality – a professional has the experience and practical skills to make sure the job is done right.
Skimping on the small things
We get it: kitchen remodels aren't cheap. But don't fall into the 'I'll-add-that-in-later' trap. Little extras such as cutlery and utensil dividers in your draws, a lazy susan in the corner cupboard or an extra power point here or there will make a world of difference to the functionality of the kitchen. And they'll cost more to retro fit later, too. If you're going to do it, why not do it properly and have a kitchen that works for you?
Benches: top priority
Of all the surfaces in the kitchen, the benchtop has to be one of the most used. That's why it needs to be a good one. Think quality and buy the best your budget can afford. Remember, the kitchen bench is a food prep area, homeworking zone, extra seat (if you allow it!) and general dumping space for all those odds and ends.
Hard wearing hardware
over the lifespan of your kitchen, I wonder how many times you'll open and shut the cupboards and drawers?! Good quality hardware (hinges, draw-runners, and handles) is a must if you want a kitchen that holds together and cabinets and drawers that don't slam. Soft-close systems aren't only for the lucky or the rich – they're a common addition in many kitchens across the country and they make a world of difference to the feel and practicality of a kitchen in action.
Be consistent
When thinking about the style of your remodel, keep it consistent with the rest of the home. For example, if your home is modern and minimalistic, don't install an elaborate French Provincial style kitchen. Sounds obvious I know, but confusing different styles is a mistake that's not uncommon.
At Wonderful Kitchens, we're here to help you get your kitchen remodel right. Our team has the skill, the expertise, and the experience to create a kitchen that combines the best of style, practicality, and functionality. Call us today on 02 9772 2988 to speak to one of our friendly staff.

Due to my birthday celebration this weekend, I did not have time to work on my re-read. I will not have a chance to have it up again before next Monday (the 31st).
On a somewhat related note, I've received emails from people who would like me to just do 2 chapters at a time instead of 3, simply because the posts are so long and it's hard to read the whole recap and analysis in one sitting. I would prefer to do 3 at a time, just for if no other reason, it doesn't take me 2 years to finish the series, but if you have any opinions on this one way or another, just comment here or send me an email. Cheers!

But in May and June 2014, I ended up walking 800 km from France into Spain because my friend asked me to. It's that simple. She called me up when we were living in Thailand and asked me to go. Once I figured out what she was talking about, I was in. I'm always up for an adventure.
- For her, it was a bucket list item, a dream in the making for a decade and a half.
- For me, it was a nice thing to do with a month and a half.
- She prepared mentally and spiritually.
- I put a couple of hundred miles on my boots and polished my Spanish.
- She was on a journey of self discovery.
- I was out for a nice walk and some time with my old friend.
I was not the deep end of the pool in this instance. She laughed at me a little, assuring me that the Camino would get to me. I giggled at her meticulous preparations. We were as unlikely a pair as could be when we set out.
She was on her first big adventure and over-prepared, and I was well traveled and still cramming my bag together as we started up the mountain out of St. Jean Pied-de-Port. We learned a lot together on that walk, and ultimately we didn't finish it together (we're still friends, don't worry!).
If you're considering walking the Camino de Santiago, here's what you need to know:
Can You Walk It?
People of all ages, physical shapes and sizes, health and fitness levels do it. I met families with babes in arms who were making the pilgrimage, carrying the child the entire way. I met an 87-year-old woman who was walking it for the third time. I met a mother-daughter trio, in which the daughters were in their mid sixties and the mother in her mid-eighties. I met people walking after knee replacement surgery, and the seriously overweight who were getting there one step at a time. I even met several folks in wheel chairs who, with the help of loyal friends, were on their pilgrimage. I walked with a legion of middle aged folks who'd escaped their desk jobs to clear their heads, and teenage backpackers who were off on their first post-high school adventure.
If you can move forward, you can do the Camino; it's just a matter of logistics.
Time of Year
We picked our dates – May 28-July 8 – to avoid school holidays (mostly), avoid the risk of freezing temperatures, and to get out before the worst of the summer heat scorched the landscape. In my 38 days of walking, I was sometimes chilly in the mornings, was really seriously cold only four nights in the albergues, had only four days of rain, and only about a week of really hot afternoons.
For me, the timing was perfect.
Planning Your Walk
The guidebooks will tell you that you need 32 days, and they break that down for you in what seem like lovely, doable chunks when one is sitting at home, dry and warm. There are, however, a few on-the-trail realities that the guidebook breakdown doesn't take into consideration.
- Your fitness level: If you aren't regularly walking 9-12 miles (15-20 kilometers) a day at home, then walking 25-30 a day on the Camino might prove taxing. If you're overweight, factor that in. If you aren't used to carrying a pack, factor that in.
- Your speed: If it takes you 12 hours to walk what the book suggests won't take more than six, that's going to be an issue. You won't have time to explore the towns, do laundry, journal, or otherwise enjoy your trip.
- Illness, or Injury: It's not at all unusual for pilgrims to become ill or be injured on the journey. Knees and feet are the biggest culprits, but Jade ended up with a hospital visit and four days off of the trail due to a respiratory illness. How does that affect your schedule if that happens?
- Your need for rest: This is a highly personal consideration. Some people can, and do, walk every single day and longer distances than recommended because they find a rhythm and they love it. Other people find that they need far more rest than the two days the books figure in for the month. How much time do you want to spend chilling out in a cool town? Do you need extra days for side trips and excursions? You might.
There are almost always options in a given town that are not listed in the guides. It also bears noting that comparing the guides from various countries sometimes yields interesting options that you might not have in yours.
Should you pre-book accommodation along the Camino?
The short version is that lodging, in general, is not a problem, and you don't need to book it months in advance. The albergues DO fill up in busy periods and in the last 100 km (the most popular stretch to walk). The solution to this is to call ahead either the morning of each day, or a day in advance if you are really worried, and let them know you're coming. Most places will hold a bed with a phone call and no deposit.
Lodging Costs
- Municipal albergues (the least expensive) run between 5-10 EU a night.
- This includes your bed, shared bathroom and showers, and often laundry options (either hand wash tubs, or coin operated machines). Many of them also have kitchen facilities.
- Private albergues will be slightly more expensive, from 10-20 EU a bed in a shared dorm. 25-50 EU a night for private rooms accommodating 1-3 people.
- The private albergues often offer breakfast and sometimes will have laundry service available as well.
Food Costs
- Meals run the gamut of pricing. Most common are the three course Pilgrim Menus, with wine included, for 10-15 EU average.
- When you get tired of those, search out the local restaurants and spend a little more for the variety!
- Breakfasts and lunches can be had in any bar of any little town for 5-10EU, less if you pick up fruits and veggies at a market stand and a loaf of bread from the bakery and picnic on your way.
- Of course, budget for drinks in the evening with new friends and a few splurges along the way!
Gear & Packing
My top tips for packing light on the Camino:
- Trade your sleeping bag for a light sleep sack (most albergues provide a blanket)
- No more than three outfits (one to wear, one to wash and one for evenings out)
- Don't bring your laptop or anything else to add weight or worry. Just don't.
- Don't pack three pairs of shoes and a bathrobe, like my Italian friend did.
- Don't ship a whole box of crap you don't need but are afraid you might, ahead of yourself to a hotel in Leon like a grandfather I know did.
- Don't pack your entire medicine cabinet either.
- DO get properly fitted for a pack and train with it at the weight you will carry on the trail.
A Word on Feet
The most common injury and ailment on the Camino is trashed feet: blisters, cuts, worn raw places, lost toenails, you name it. Virtually everyone suffers to some degree, some of us worse than others. Training in your shoes helps, obviously, but it isn't always a guarantee that you won't have problems. My shoes were well worn in, and I suffered with worse feet than I've ever had the whole way to Santiago. C'est la vie.
On Adjusting Expectations
In the end, she hugged me goodbye, and we parted in Leon. She bussed ahead to execute her new plan, and I kept walking for the both of us. It was a good compromise. It allowed her to do the Camino, and get her Compostela, within the bounds of her resources of time, money, and health.
Cutting Corners Without Cutting Corners
Then, I discovered Jaco-Trans.
From beginning to end on the Camino, you can have your bag shipped from albergue to albergue ahead of you.
It costs 7EU for most of the journey.
After Sarria, it's only 3EU, I suppose due to the increased volume of pilgrims. If you are unable to carry your pack for some reason, or if your knees or ankles are bothering you, or if it's just more fun and easier to carry your daypack with water and nothing else, I highly recommend shipping your bag.
Alternative Transportation
On one particularly tough day, there is the option of riding horses up the mountain to O'Cebrero. You'll see the sign in the village at the base of the hill. You can't miss it. If climbing is hard on you, especially at the end of a long day, then hitch a ride; it will be a great story, and you won't miss a step of the trail.
Gaining Days & Shortening the Meseta
There are companies that will trade your backpack for panniers on a bike, ship your empty bag forward, and let you take off across the easiest part of the Camino for wheels. You'll easily be able to ride twice, or three times, as far as you could walk. You'll see it all, and authentically propel yourself over every inch of the terrain with your body, only faster and with more fun!
Have you walked the Camino? What's your best piece of advice? What did you learn the hard way? Tweet us @bootsnall. I'm headed back to Spain in June to walk the final segment, from Santiago to the sea. Advice for that leg? Tweet me @edventuremama

[Video] Animated mini-documentary about Antoni van Leeuwenhoek by the New York Times
Illustration © 2014 New York Times / Flora Lichtman & Sharon Shattuck (Sweet Fern Productions)
In 1674, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek looked at a drop of lake water through his homemade microscope and discovered an invisible world that no one knew existed. He was an unlikely pioneer — a haberdasher and city official by trade. In this film, we celebrate this 17th-century citizen scientist and a discovery that would ultimately change our view of the biological world, and our place in it.
