The Nerazzurri veteran celebrated his comeback from a six-month absence on Saturday and hopes to have achieved something "important" in the near future
Inter captain Javier Zanetti wants the team to get back to challenging for silverware after marking his return from injury with a 2-0 win against Livorno on Saturday.
The Argentine dynamo came on as a substiture for the first time since rupturing his Achilles tendon in a loss to Palermo in April, sparking the move that led to Yuto Nagatomo's strike.
And Zanetti is hopeful his presence will spur the Nerazzurri on to achieving something for the fans, after their support proved crucial to making it back at 40 years old.
"We want to be challenging for something important. I don't know what exactly but I know we can go a long way," he told reporters after the match.
"It wasn't easy coming back at the age of 40 after six months out. But immediately after my injury I said I wanted to come back and play in front of my fans again.
"I want to thank the fans for all the love they've shown me, as well as the president and coaching staff who have given me so much support.
"I'm pleased to be back and that it coincided with an important win. It was a great feeling."
Zanetti is Inter's record Serie A appearance holder after playing in over 600 games for the San Siro giants and was part of the 2010 side that secured an unprecedented treble.
Despite not playing in Europe this season, Walter Mazzarri's men currently lie fourth in Serie A, six points behind leaders Roma who play on Sunday.

We have seen the mighty hand of God supporting the work of each missionary. There are many challenges, one of which is the size and remoteness of our mission field. The Brazilian Amazon is very big. Reaching distant communities far from civilization requires great effort. Missionaries travel alone by small boats [pictured right]. To cover these distances which may take weeks at a time is very costly. Fuel and food have to be brought from far away with high transportation costs.
Dozens of trips and visits were made to the communities that are close to local rivers its tributaries. The visits were to encourage the believers who already exist there and strengthen the leaders in each community. Many of them with no support for their ministry, serving the Lord with much interest and love for the work.
Five years ago, Shapu a young adult from the Matis ethnicity, came to the city with the purpose of studying. He had no knowledge of life in the city. His Portuguese was poor and he did not know the Gospel, making him vulnerable to the bad influences of the city. He was accepted to be supported by the CONPLEI support house and was given a place to stay, food, and advice regarding life in the city. After 5 years in the city, Shapu rejoiced that he overcame all the danger of the city. He is studying hard, he is proud to be from the Matis culture. He is now a follower of Christ. During his vacation, he decided to go back to his village to visit his parents and at the same time to tell his tribal people about the message and love of God. Shapu said that his extended family was impressed with the message of the Gospel and his good testimony of a healthy life. Now, he is very interested in continuing to listen to the word of God and sharing more with his community back home.

Individuals who choose shoes for sporting activity generally look for certain functional features, in addition to the looks of the model, followed by the price. However, for individuals who have flat feet, it is important to look at other features while choosing a shoe. This is because of the extra needs and features that a shoe should have for individuals who have flat foot. By choosing the right kind of shoe, you can actually take part in most, if not all, activities and enjoy it without injuring yourself or finding it difficult to maintain balance. Here is a look at some of the features that you need to look for in shoes for individuals with flat foot.
Special shoes need to have arch support
Special shoes from reliable sites like biogreen.life/best-cross-training-shoes-for-flat-feet/ offer the right kind of arch support. Under pronation and overpronation are conditions where the arch is not as per the ideal requirements. The arch gives you better traction, grip and permits you to take part in physical activities. It is because of this function of the arch that individuals with flat foot are not considered for recruitment to the defense forces. A typical defense force combatant is expected to train hard and indulge in a lot of activities that will require him to be agile and firm on the foot. And flat foot conditions seriously affect the ability to take part in strenuous physical activities, in addition to causing injuries over a period of time. Find the best Cross Fit shoes for you with this Shoe Guide.
The shoes should not feature high heels
It is necessary to choose shoes that are relatively flatter. This is because the angle of the heels affects the ability to take part in activities. An individual who is already facing problems as a result of flat foot will find it difficult to balance himself or herself better when using shoes with heels. Shoes that have higher heels will create a more imbalanced posture and will add more stress to the feet. This makes it necessary to choose shoes that are flatter. The height at which the toes are from the ground should be the same as the height of the heels from the ground. In other words the heels and toes should be parallel to the ground at the same height.
Additional features will help to increase comfort levels
Shoes cause blisters if the pair does not have the right kind of cushioning features. For instance, it is necessary to have shoes with padded tongues and collar. This will help to give the right kind of cushioning effect. Shoes are typically meant to offer protection to the foot in addition to creating the right kind of cushioning effect as the feet moves across uneven, hard, slippery and hot surfaces. The entire weight of the body is on the feet, and it is necessary to get the right kind of shoes for the cushioning effect.
Individuals with flat foot conditions need to pick shoes that have additional features that make it more comfortable. This is necessary to offer the right support to the feet, permitting involvement in all strenuous physical activities.

Vikor is based on a original concept sketch from back in 1981 when Masters of the Universe was still being developed and was highly influenced by the Conan image and mythos. (And don't you all start that "He-man was supposed to be Conan" shit again. It's been dis-proven a thousand times over.)
But looking at Vikor, we can clearly see the influence.

Pretty rad, eh? You can bet your Hyrkanian ponies that I'll be buying one of these figures and displaying it proudly along with my other Conan swag. Vikor is scheduled to go on sale in December (I think, I'm too lazy to check).

With 7 weeks to go until Brexit (unless an extension is agreed by the EU and UK to the Article 50 notice), a no-deal Brexit remains a possibility. The Irish Government is moving ahead with the legislation necessary to mitigate the immediate effects of a no-deal Brexit in the areas of insurance, settlement, healthcare, enterprise, energy, education, tax, transport, employment, social protection, extradition and immigration.
Context – European Commission Contingency Action Plan
This follows on from the implementation by the European Commission, in December 2018, of various legislative proposals signposted in its Brexit Contingency Action Plan. At the same time, the Commission signalled to the EU 27 Member States that they should be taking action in the areas of citizens' rights, and social security.
From a financial services perspective, the Commission felt that a limited number of measures required adoption to cater for a potential 'no deal' Brexit as follows:
- a temporary equivalence decision whereby ESMA can recognise UK-based central counterparties, allowing them to continue providing services in the EU for 12 months following a no-deal Brexit;
- a temporary equivalence decision whereby UK central securities depositaries (CSDs) will be allowed to provide certain services to operators in the EU for 24 months following a no-deal Brexit;
- a delegated regulation extending the date of deferred application of the clearing obligation for certain over-the-counter derivative contracts for 12 months in relation to contracts that are novated for the sole purpose of replacing a UK counterparty with an EU27 counterparty; and
- a delegated regulation allowing contracts with a UK counterparty currently subject to risk management procedures under the European Market Infrastructure Regulation to be novated for a fixed period of 12 months, if the sole purpose of the novation is to replace the UK counterparty with an EU27 counterparty to ensure that those novations are not now subject to margining requirements that would not have applied when they were originally entered into.
Temporary measures were also adopted by the Commission in respect of UK nationals residing in the EU, air transport, road haulage, customs/exports, climate policy, and the PEACE IV and United Kingdom-Ireland programmes.
Irish Government's Contingency Action Plan
The Irish Government published its Contingency Action Plan for a no-deal Brexit in December 2018, confirming that all Government departments had prepared sector-specific plans identifying the key challenges faced by them in the context of a no-deal Brexit, and had identified approximately 45 key issues that would need to be addressed by way of legislation.
General Scheme of Irish Brexit Bill
The General Scheme of the Miscellaneous Provisions (Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union on 29 March 2019) Bill was then published by the Government on 24 January 2019. While the Spring Legislative Programme has also been published by the Government, should a no-deal Brexit seem likely, it is expected that all available time in the Houses of the Oireachtas will be dedicated to progressing and enacting the Bill.
Structure of the Bill
The General Scheme summarises what will be in the Bill itself when it is published towards the end of February. The Bill will be an 'Omnibus Bill' i.e. it will cover a number of different economic sectors and pieces of legislation. It is divided into 17 parts, prepared by 9 Government Ministers. Once the Bill becomes law, the relevant Ministers will make the required commencement orders at the appropriate time. The Government's introductory statement to the General Scheme confirms the importance of protecting the Common Travel Area, and the need for a number of measures across the healthcare, transport, energy and education sectors to support cross-border cooperation between Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Key elements of the General Scheme are set out below. The Bill itself, when published towards the end of this month, will contain much more detailed provisions:
|Part 2
|Department of Health
|Arrangements to facilitate continued access to healthcare in Ireland and the UK.
|Part 3
|Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation
|Measures to enable Enterprise Ireland to continue to support businesses through investment, loans, and RD&I grants.
|Part 4
|Department for Climate, Energy and Communications
|Modification of Single Electricity Market licences to ensure that the Commission for the Regulation of Utilities has the power to ensure Ireland's compliance with the EU energy regulation framework, and to amend licences as necessary.
|Part 5
|Department of Education and Skills
|Measures to ensure grant access for higher and further education students who are studying in the UK, and higher and further education UK-national students studying in Ireland.
|Part 6
|Department of Finance
|Amendments across the areas of income tax, corporation tax, capital gains tax and stamp duty to ensure continuity for businesses and citizens in respect of current access to taxation measures such as reliefs and allowances.
|Part 7
|Department of Finance
|If there is a no-deal Brexit, Euronext Dublin would no longer be able to use CREST (a UK-based CSD) to settle trades in Irish equities and exchange-traded funds. It is proposed that the Minister for Finance be allowed to designate a third-country system, such as CREST, for the purposes of the Irish Settlement Finality Regulations. This means that Irish participants in a UK-based CSD such as CREST would benefit from the protections of the Settlement Finality Directive should that CSD become insolvent. As mentioned at the start of this briefing, the Commission has also adopted a temporary equivalence decision for UK-based CSDs to facilitate the transition by participants to EU-based CSDs.
|Part 8
|Department of Finance
|Measures to ensure that Irish policyholders who hold existing life and non-life insurance policies with insurance undertakings (or through insurance intermediaries) who operate in Ireland from the UK or Gibraltar will be unaffected if those undertakings no longer have the right to carry on business in EU Member States on a no-deal Brexit. There will be a run-off period which will allow those undertakings/intermediaries to meet their contractual obligations to their Irish customers for 3 years, but they will not be able to write new business without the appropriate EU authorisation.
|Part 9
|Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport
|Measures to facilitate cross-border rail services between Ireland and Northern Ireland.
|Part 10
|Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport
|Measures to facilitate cross-border bus and coach services between Ireland and Northern Ireland. The National Transport Authority's remit would be extended to cover the regulation of bus services between Ireland and third countries.
|Part 11
|Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection
|Provision for the continued payment of 21 social protection benefits in line with the Government's commitment to the Common Travel Area.
|Part 12
|Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection
|Measures to ensure that employees that are employed, or habitually employed, in Ireland will continue to be covered by the Insolvency Payments Scheme where their employer goes into insolvency under UK law.
|Parts 14-17
|Department of Justice and Equality
|A number of measures designed to maintain effective extradition arrangements between Ireland and the UK, and to enable ongoing cooperation on immigration.
What happens next?
In parallel with the development of the Omnibus Bill, work is also continuing on 28 Statutory Instruments that the Government has identified as being necessary should a no-deal Brexit materialise.
The full text of the Omnibus Bill is expected to be presented to the Dáil towards the end of February by Simon Coveney TD, Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs. As the Bill covers 9 Government Departments, Committee Stage will be taken on the floor of the Dáil, with a view to all TDs having an opportunity to participate in the debate, rather than in multiple individual committees. This should enable the Bill to move through the legislative process more quickly.
As mentioned above, the General Scheme of the Omnibus Bill is predicated on a no-deal Brexit occurring. If the EU Brexit negotiators do not accept Theresa May's proposals for changes to the draft EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement, the Bill will need to proceed quickly, in particular if no extension to the Article 50 notice period is sought by the UK.
We will publish further sector-specific updates once the Bill is published towards the end of this month.
This article contains a general summary of developments and is not a complete or definitive statement of the law. Specific legal advice should be obtained where appropriate.

Continuing your career abroad & overcome the cultural barrier
When moving abroad a major challenge is to continue your career. If you are struggling here don't worry: You are not alone AND you can do something about it. Continuing a career abroad in times of digital nomads and globalization is getting more and more important. It is a topic very true to my heart and I put a lot of work and time into getting together the best resources for finding work abroad.

Above, Christine Clarke & Mikie Sherrill.
There's a delicious symmetry to this.
Two women, Christine Clarke & Laura Berman Fortgang, are running together for Assembly in the heavily-Republican 26th Legislative District. They're both local Dem municipal chairs. They're both rising activists in NJ 11th for Change, which had an outsized role in replacing a staid, establishment-hugging Republican with a woman; Mikie Sherrill – Naval Academy grad in the first class where women were trained for combat, getting elected for the first office she ever ran for. And
beating trouncing a seated Republican legislator to do it; one Jay Webber. So who are Christine Clarke & Laura Berman Fortgang running against for Assembly in November?
… Against Jay Webber, longtime assemblyman, former NJ GOP chair.
– Who repeatedly voted to defund Planned Parenthood. [read]
– Who once insisted on reading aloud on the Assembly floor – until he was shut down – a brochure on teen sex in a creepy effort to argue that birth control equals promiscuity. [read]
– Who was prime sponsor for a proposed constitutional amendment to define marriage as one man, one woman. [read]
– Who voted against same-sex marriage in 2012, arguing civil unions were just fine. Who opposed civil unions when he was elected in 2007. [read]
– Who hangs out with Mike Pence, who is so creepy about women he can't even see them except as sex, and won't be alone with one. [read]
– Who needed help from a seated Vice President and still tanked. In a heavily GOP district. Against … a woman. [read]
Of course, both Christine and Laura have more going for them than just the opportunity to run against Jay Webber. For one thing, Clarke has emerged as one of New Jersey's leading climate activists. Now, Democrats haven't won a seat in the 26th since Watergate, which is quite before Christine & Laura's time in politics. And Republicans outnumber Democrats 2-1 in LD-26 (census). Mikie Sherrill's new congressional district, the 11th, has more than 14,000 more Republicans than Democrats; both CD11 & LD-26 have Morris County in common, and we can't call that reliably Republican anymore.
Sherrill won anyway. And Christine Clarke & Laura Berman Fortgang were part of the wave of activated women who got that done. And they're up next.

February 5, 2008
By SHIRLEY WEST
The Observer
Sunday, February 03, 2008
Waking up in the peaceful stillness of the California wilderness, he
remembers that it is his turn to cook breakfast. After a few inventive
attempts at waking his roommate, they work together to cook pancakes for
the rest of the volunteers.
After congregating around a huge stone fireplace to eat a breakfast of
pancakes and fresh fruit, most of which they helped grow themselves, the
volunteers meet at the construction site at 7 a.m. for Kum Nye — Tibetan
yoga — to stretch and loosen up for work.
Those who chose to do so would join hands in a circle and say a Tibetan
prayer for a safe and productive day, voices resonating off each other
in a song-like chant of an old, foreign tongue.
This was a typical morning for Josh Ibach of Dunkirk during his
three-month stay as a volunteer at Odiyan Buddhist Retreat Center in
Berkeley, Calif.
What makes a 27-year-old man want to travel across the country to help
construct a 10-story, dome-topped, octagonal temple?
"I wanted an experience where I was submerged in a different culture,"
Ibach said. "Not just reading about it but living it and learning from
people who were living it. I wanted to learn and experience something
new and exciting, but at the same time help out a good cause and do
something for others."
Odiyan was created as a Tibetan Buddhist refuge in America after the
Chinese took control of Tibet. Much of the art, literature and culture
of Tibetan Buddhism was destroyed. Lama Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche fled
Tibet and came to America.
In California, he started a non-profit printing shop to attempt to save
some of the sacred writings from his homeland. It soon expanded and,
with it, so did the ability to help preserve the 2,000-year-old Tibetan
culture from being totally wiped from history.
Odiyan was started in the 1970s, all by volunteers, as a place to live
and study Buddhism. Because of its freedom of religion, America is a
safe haven for the Buddhist texts and art.
After finding Odiyan online, Ibach was dazzled by such a foreign place
in the middle of California. Odiyan is constantly seeking volunteers and
Ibach immediately contacted them for an application.
"I contacted them twice about going before I was able to work out when I
could be there,' Ibach said. "I had it as a goal in my mind for three
years before I went."
After saving up enough money for the trip, Ibach left for California
right before summer in 2007.
"After arriving in Berkeley, you spend two weeks on a trial period at
the Dharma Institute making books to be sent to the world peace ceremony
in India, where they give them away for free to those in need," he
explained. "In Berkeley, you have a chance to take classes and study
many aspects of Buddhism and meditation. Then, usually by bus, you take
the long trip to the northern coastal wilderness, where Odiyan is located."
Ibach worked with other volunteers building, painting and decorating the
interior of the sub floor of the temple. He was also in charge of
The other volunteers came from all over the world — Brazil, Argentina,
Germany, Holland, India — and from all over the United States, ranging
from 18-year-olds to the elderly. Some have been there since the 1970s.
The volunteers took turns cooking vegetarian meals for each other, so
Ibach got to sample dishes from all across the globe. Dinners were eaten
in a big hall with long wooden tables that were only a foot high, so
volunteers sat cross-legged on cushions.
"On most days after work, you had the opportunity to take some sort of
class taught by one of the older, permanent volunteers," he said. "We
would gather in the reading room on big comfy couches or chairs for an
open discussion about meditation, or history of Buddhism, sometimes
philosophy, or discussions about mind and emotions. On Thursdays we
could learn Kum Nye yoga. If you chose to, you could learn the Tibetan
alphabet, songs, chants and mantras.
"You weren't made to do anything. Many people simply chose to do other
things, like read or go for a hike around the thousand acres of land.
Some people would hang out and play guitar or soccer."
Ibach and his roommate, Nick, became very close during their volunteer
time and undertook an adventure together — a hike to the ocean.
"The ocean looks deceivingly close," Ibach laughed. "We told some others
about our plan and we were immediately warned not to go. That it was
much too far and dangerous. Where we were there are wild boars, mountain
lions, bob cats, rattle snakes, black widows and scorpions. Not only
that, but between us and the ocean was a thick redwood forest, hills,
rock cliffs, and a river to cross.
"They said other people had tried and were lost in the woods for days.
Despite all the warnings, Nick and I packed some bottles of Gatorade,
some day-old pizza and a bag of trail mix and set out on foot."
During their hike, they had to jump fences, cross a ravine and fight
their way through thick brush.
"We also came across a strange, sculpted elephant painted and decorated
with fake jewels miles from anything in the middle of nowhere," Ibach said.
He and his roommate stopped to take pictures with the lost elephant.
"We finally made it to the ocean after six hours or so," he said. "We
came to the edge of the forest. We sat together on the edge of a rock
cliff overlooking the vast ocean. We ate our cold pizza and celebrated
our victory, watching the waves crash violently against the rocks below.
"No one ever underestimated the two of us or told us 'no' ever again
during our stay. We accomplished what many others that came before us
could not and in record time. We both had blood blisters on our feet for
a week, but pain and hardship made our victory much more profound. Nick
and I were inseparable after that."
Ibach described the experience as being in a kind of bubble.
"Odiyan is very isolated and because of that, it feels like its own
little world," recalled Ibach. "There is no need for dressing to
impress. It's very far away from any towns, malls, bars, etc. So it's
like a little peaceful bubble free of stress and the normal worries of
the outside world."
He continued with the observation that most people in America feel
isolated from one another, and suffer from a feeling of not belonging
because of the country's "dog eat dog" attitude about success.
"At Odiyan, it's about caring for others before yourself," he said.
"It's about coming together despite your background or religion to
achieve something greater than yourself. It's about working hard, not
for money, but for the wisdom and accomplishment that grow from it.
Everyone feels like a giant extended family eating, living and working
together all toward the same goal."
Although he had planned to stay longer, Ibach had to end his sojourn at
Odiyan prematurely. He intends to find new adventures, however.
"After staying for three months, there was a family emergency back home
that I had to attend to," Ibach said. "Right now, I'm planning on a
one-month stay in the Amazon jungle in Ecuador. There is a volunteer
organization there helping to preserve the rainforests' plant and animal
Volunteer work in another culture has become an important part of
Ibach's life. He believes everyone should try it.
"It really was a great learning experience. I learned so much so fast,"
he said, mentioning not only all the aspects of Buddhism but new skills
in construction, landscaping, cooking and how to live, work, learn and
play together as a community.
"I learned tools to help control anger, jealousy, and hatred. I gained a
new perspective about the mind and emotions. How to look at yourself and
take little steps every day for improvement," he continued. "I learned
that many great things can be accomplished by very few with very little,
with nothing more than the heart and willingness to come together to be
part of something bigger than themselves."
After a moment's pause and an ironic smile, he added that he also
learned the ocean was a lot colder than he thought.

"Ummi, nak balik..nak balik…!!"
akhawat: sisters
ukhti: sister
ikhwah: brothers
akhi: brother
zauj: husband
zaujah: wife
And I'm sure, mothers must have been thought "Asik aku je yang bersusah payah, Awak tu buat apa?" Syaitan akan sentiasa membisikkan rasa tak puas hati terhadap pasangan kita termasuklah dalam bab menguruskan anak, jadi saya percaya anda mesti pernah terasa macam ni kan? It's okay if that has happened before because we ain't that saint. We are all human beings with anger and frustration. But we are also special if we get to take control of our anger and istighfar right away. Chill. Calm down. Let's get to the core of the issue, then we'll get into the solutions
I reckon, below are among the concerns in akhawat which brought them to drag their children along to programs. Hence, some rationales and possible solutions.
1. Zauj saya tak pandai jaga anak
I agree that some men are really bad in handling their kids. They are very kind indeed, but they just don't feel the children. Diaper sampai dah 5 jam pun tak bertukar. Anak dah nangis2 pun ayahnya still tak faham yang anak tu nak susu. But I think they just need practice, so mothers ought to leave the responsibility to the dads, so they'll get used to the rhythm occasionally. What mothers can do is, prepare everything from food, clothes, diaper to toys and let the children be with their dad while you enjoy focusing in programs.
2. Saya tak sampai hati nak bagi zauj jaga anak, kesian dia
Kenapa tak sampai hati? Sebab kesian zauj dah kerja Isnin-Jumaat jadi nak bagi zauj berehat di hujung minggu? Akhawat, let's embrace the beauty of motherhood in Islam that places the role of handling and educating the children on the parents' shoulders, and not just mothers. Let us enjoy that Islam celebrates mothers to have some time for themselves by spending them on Islamic activities and programs. Yes fathers are to provide for the family and fathers too, are to look after the children. Yes the mothers' main role are at home to educate and shape the children through Islamic upbringing but mothers too, are to allow some room for fathers to do it.
3. Saya tak berani nak minta zauj jaga anak
I understand, some husbands are pretty tough to deal with. That said, you know your husband better (after Allah). Have some time to bring this issue on table and discuss it with your spouse. Things don't have to settle in one discussion, because it may take some time to rise to a conclusion but insha Allah, you'll come to an agreement in this. Let your husband know (especially during courtship) about your passion in dakwah and social work that you're going to need his cooperation and support to balance both family and these activities. Let him know in details about your:
a) weekly usrah, that usually ends at 10.30-11.00pm (instead of saying "I'll be coming home late" mention in detail what time will it be)
b) monthly dhaurah/rehlah/jaulah/muktamar that will take the whole weekend. There will be no family outing during this time.
b) Sleepovers (Mabit/Mukhayyam), so you may not be able to cook dinner and tomorrow's breakfast.
c) Liqo' murabbi that may take place anytime, hence you will need your husband to handle the kids at home because bringing them along to meetings doesn't work. Sebab nanti tak boleh focus pada meeting.
On the flipped side, it is worth noting that there are awesome ikhwah out there who do the same like the akhawat. They too, prepare food at home beforehand. They too drive to usrah with their toddler who then played around the usrah circle, lepas tu restless, cried and finally puked at his dad. And the dad requested to go home early because he didn't know what to do then and the naqib gave green light because he too, brings along his kids to programs, so he feels the poor dad.
There are also amazing ikhwah who take their children to programs and bila anak-anak dia dah restless dia try tidurkan anak dia and finally dia pun tertidur sekali. Hehehe sounds familiar? There are also superdaddy out there who are fine with taking charge of the children at home to give some room for the mother enjoying her passion in programs that contribute to the society. Sebab esok, turn dia pulak untuk pergi program sambil isteri jaga anak-anak dekat rumah.
Thank you fathers. Thank you brothers. You have my utter respect.
And in my humble opinion, it boils down to the communication between you and your spouse. Marriage is an art, it's we who shape and colour the routine. Come on ikhwah akhawat, we can do this!

Country of Origin: Mexico
Location: Denver, CO
Occupation: Mother, activists, and SEIU Local 105 leader and officer, achieved the American Dream and became a U.S. citizen in 2016 in time for the election
My name is Daniela Robles, I'm 16 years old and I'm proud to call my mom, my immigrant hero.
My mom is my hero because of everything she's sacrificed for her three kids. While most people are putting their kids to bed and sleeping after a day's work, my mom is working throughout the night in order to give us a better life.
When we were kids, despite the fact that she would get home at 3 o'clock in the morning, my mom would wake up at 7 in the morning to take us all to school. That's not something just anyone can do. She's someone full of determination, leadership and compassion towards others. These qualities have helped her achieve many things, from becoming a U.S. citizen this year to being part of the SEIU team that won a path to $15. She's given us everything she can.
Being a mom is a hard job, and to raise three kids in a different country is even harder. She's never once given up, despite the challenges along the way. Now with her youngest going off to college soon, she can sit back and watch the great job she's done with the three of us. A simple thank you isn't enough to express how grateful I am to have a mom like her.
More about Patricia:
Patricia Robles is a janitor, a member of the Justice For Janitors campaign and Vice President of SEIU Local 105. She is originally from Mexico and has been living in the U.S. for more than 25 yeas. She recently became a U.S. citizen thanks to iAmerica and its partners.
This past June, Patricia was involved in the historic contract agreement where Denver Metro janitor with SEIU Local 105 and cleaning contractors won wage increases over the next four years resulting in a minimum of $15 an hour in 2020.

Sleep disorders are a very common problem faced by a lot of us. Sleep disorders have a lot to do with various underlying problems which we may not even realize. Here are some simple and natural remedies to get you through the night.
Ayurveda for Insomnia
According to Ayurveda, sleep disorders generally stem from vitiated doshas. Aggravation of Vata and Pitta are all causes for sleep disorders. Vata type of insomnia can also be caused due to stress and anxiety. This leads to restlessness in bed.
Make simple lifestyle changes to help induce sleep
Exercise every day. Avoid exercising late in the evenings. Avoid caffeine for at least 5 hours before you sleep. Take a nice warm bath before you go to sleep. To balance Vata, put routine into your lifestyle. Fixed timings to sleep, eat and exercise.
Gentle yoga or stretching can help you relax and get you in the mood for some rest. Simple breathing exercises or stretches in bed should do the trick. Steer clear from power yoga as that will only leave you feeling more energized.
Melatonin is an important chemical required to induce sleep. Your body requires outside sources to get it. Rather than taking melatonin in a pill form, we would suggest you obtain it naturally through foods. Try foods like cherries and bananas.
Chamomile Tea
Chamomile has been known to be a reliable remedy to help you doze off. It has muscle relaxing properties which can help you sleep. Here is a simple and delish recipe to make your own fresh chamomile brew.
¼ cup fresh chamomile flowers or 2 tbsp dry flowers
1 tsp lemon juice
Place the flowers in a teapot. If you're using fresh flowers then use only the flower heads. In a separate pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Pour the boiling water over the flowers in the teapot and let it steep for about 5-6 minutes. Add in the lemon juice and some honey to taste once lightly warm.
Turmeric Milk for Sleep
Haldi milk is an age-old remedy known to induce sleep and cure cough and cold. Milk contains serotonin and melatonin which are chemicals responsible for inducing sleep. Turmeric can reduce stress and relax your body.

Change really is alive at the DP. We've all known for awhile now that our organization was in need of some drastic changes both financially and editorially. My goal from the start of my term as Executive Editor has been to work with everyone across the organization to take the steps necessary to make those thoughts become a reality.
With the great leadership we have in our editors and managers, and the implementation of our new Board of Directors, I'm more confident than ever that the steps we have taken are laying a new foundation for the DP to grow and innovate, be financially sustainable, and above all, offer a better, more valuable experience for our student staff.
We've made several major decisions to change and move the DP forward as we enter the 2014-15 school year, and I'd like to share a few of my thoughts about our decisions.

This volume of photographs by Thomas Annan comprises photographs of Loch Katrine and of the water works that were constructed to bring her waters to the rapidly growing city of Glasgow. It was published by Glasgow Corporation in 1877 and features 29 photographic plates. The Library's copy resides in a 19th century red leather binding displaying the Glasgow Corporation emblem.
Not long after his commission to photograph the city's slum, Glasgow hired Annan once again to photograph the 25-mile water system between Loch Katrine and Glasgow. This was the first successful aqueduct project in Scotland, and was designed to provide Glasgow with cheap, clean water. It formed part of a series of public health works that the City authorities initiated in the late 19th century.
Our copy includes a pasted-in pennant to front from the Colonial and Indian Visit, 26-28 August 1886, printed blue on white cloth with gold tassels. The Colonial and Indian Exhibition was held at South Kensington, London and displayed art, architecture and artefacts from India and other countries of the Empire in specially constructed Indian-style buildings. By its close, it had welcomed more that 5.5 million visitors.
Update June 2014: Sadly our copies of this volume were destroyed in the Mackintosh Library fire.

If you've already got State Farm insurance for something else, you may find it quite affordable to bundle in a rideshare insurance policy. Here, we'll talk about how State Farm's rideshare policies work, how much they cost, and how they stack up to other rideshare insurance providers.

How does State Farm rideshare insurance work?
Like any rideshare insurance policy, the most important part is that you won't be dropped for driving for Uber or Lyft. State Farm's rideshare insurance policies keep you covered by allowing you to use your vehicle for these purposes.
Another reason to have rideshare insurance is the infamous period one gap. During period two (when you're en route to a passenger) and period three (when the passenger is in your car), Uber and Lyft offer coverage, which can act as your primary policy. But during period one (when you're online and waiting for requests), the TNCs offer precious little coverage: the liability limits are dangerously low, and you won't have collision insurance. Since regular personal insurers don't cover period one either (as it's still commercial activity), this makes period one very risky for those without rideshare insurance.
State Farm solves this by extending your personal coverage through all three periods. Specifically, when your Uber/Lyft app is on and you're waiting for a ping, coverage extends from your personal State Farm auto policy. Coverage may include liability coverage for property damage and injury to others, physical damage coverage for damage to your car, and emergency roadside service. Once you're matched with a rider or are transporting him or her, the same coverage — minus liability to others — may apply.
We recommend reaching out to a State Farm agent in your state to determine what type of coverage your state requires you to have.

Here's a handy graphic to show you how State Farm insurance covers you:
How does State Farm's rideshare insurance differ from other providers?
Some rideshare insurers offer "gap coverage," which extends your personal policy to include period one, but stops short of providing coverage during all three periods. In this scenario, you'll be at the mercy of James River or Steadfast (Uber and Lyft's insurance providers, respectively) if you're in an accident during periods two or three. Except for liability coverage, which shifts to the TNC, your State Farm's car policy coverages (such as rental, medical payments for you or comprehensive) actually extend through all three periods. So if you have an accident at any point, you can go through State Farm.
This is really helpful if you depend heavily on rideshare driving as a source of income. When you report an accident to Uber or Lyft, it's a big hassle to get reactivated and can often take weeks. Further, dealing with James River can be a nightmare, and most drivers are given all kinds of runarounds before actually getting their claims paid out. And I haven't even mentioned the hefty deductibles – $1,000 for Uber and $2,500 for Lyft, regardless of who's at fault.
Note: If you do get into an accident while rideshare driving and the other driver is at fault, we recommend you contact a lawyer who specializes in rideshare accident cases as you may be eligible for medical, repairs to your car, lost wages and more. We recommend Bryant Greening of LegalRideshare.
With State Farm, you can avoid all that hassle and just call your State Farm agent's office to get the claim started, regardless of which period the accident happened in. State Farm makes it very easy to get a claim started – you can go online through your account portal, call State Farm, or submit your claim through the State Farm app. In addition to making it easy to file a claim, your State Farm agent can also help ease any concerns you have during the process, since you'll already have a working relationship with your agent.
You'll still receive all of your usual personal policy's features. They'll work to refund your deductible if you weren't at fault – and if you opt for coverage that includes a rental in the event of an accident, you may even be able to keep working while your car is in the shop.

How much does a State Farm policy cost?
It depends on a lot of different factors. Typically, rideshare insurance is a little more expensive than a comparable policy without a ridesharing endorsement. If it's been awhile since you last shopped for a quote, however, you may find that a rideshare-friendly policy is cheaper than what you're paying now. State Farm also offers the usual discounts for bundling multiple policies, so you may be able to save some cash there, too.
We ran a sample quote to compare several competing rideshare insurance policies in CA (including one from State Farm) – the total cost was $166 per month, taking into account two traffic violations and a bundled renters' insurance policy. Check out our full findings here.
According to State Farm, adding a rideshare coverage endorsement "typically adds about 15–20 percent to your current premium."
Does State Farm only offer rideshare insurance to part-time drivers?
State Farm's TNC Endorsement is aimed at part-time drivers, but this is not a requirement to purchase this type of coverage. On a corporate level, the company wants to focus on insuring drivers who only do rideshare driving part-time, since they represent a lower risk. However, there isn't a good way to quantify how much driving people are doing – or what percentage of it is ridesharing.
From what we've been told, you'll still be able to acquire a State Farm rideshare policy regardless of how much you drive – and you can rest assured that there are no time or mileage limits that go along with the policy. You can work and drive as much or as little as you like, and you'll still be covered regardless.
Will rideshare insurance cover a rental car?
In most cases, no. According to insurance agent Doug Eisold, insurance companies want to make sure the person getting insurance has "insurable interest" in the car, meaning they have their name on it – and a rental car would be in the company's name. Also, most rental car companies don't let you make money with their cars, per the contract.

I copied the example given at but replaced the example path data with my own. To get the path data I exported a vector graphic from AI to SVG, then opened it in Sublime and pasted the path in. Do I need to reformat the path data I got from my SVG, or do I need to export the SVG from a different application like CorelDraw/Inkscape etc.? I've tried putting spaces after the commas and changing the case of the M, C, L, Z etc. but nothing seems to work. After much debugging, I found the culprit in some code completely unrelated to D3. I am using time scale on the x axis and have a utility method that I use to pull the date from the last item of dynamic data that has been pushed to the browser. This method retrieved the date from the last item as follows: Notice that I have not defined 'item' as a var. This code works fine on FF and Chrome… but on IE, item ends up referencing a function!!!

On the way to the artist's life
Originally from Paris, France, my life is a simple story of adventure, love, healing and awakening…
In the mid 90's, as a university student at Ecole des Beaux Arts, I found myself to be somewhat unconscious in my lifestyle. I had a life full of baguettes, chocolate, coffee and cigarettes; had no concern for the environment; and was quite insensitive and unaware of my feelings and psychology. Though through all of this, there was a part of me that was sincere in my search for wholeness.
I decided to move to Spain for a year to continue my studies and it is from there that alone I embarked in a backpacking holiday in Morocco. While on a bus from Essaouira I met a Canadian man named Dolphin and spent several days with him in Marrakesh. It was an instant falling in love … and it lasted! It was like if we were meant to meet in this place at this unexpected time.
Our lives were so far, so different. Dolphin was 14 years older and had years of introspection and inner work behind him. He was living in a farm house north of Toronto with 4 cats and a dog, he worked in a factory making pop, enjoying all the laid off time to write music, poetry and enjoy nature. Despite the numerous differences, our hearts were definitely strongly connected. We flew back and forth across the ocean for two years, got engaged on top of a volcano in Guatemala and were married in France at my grandmother's humble castle. Fourteen months after being married, moving to Canada and having a young son, we had twin girls! The instant family was overwhelming considering we hardly even lived together until then.
Dolphin had a 3 months parental leave from work. The night before he was going back to the factory, we went to Toronto to hear a conference from Brian Clement from the Hippocrates Health Institute from Florida. His talk was really inspiring. It was about how far are we willing to go to live at a 100% health level, to live fully.
When we came back home that night we looked at each other's eyes and knew that he wouldn't go back to work the next day.
He called in the morning to say that he quit his job.
We didn't like making a living with a job that makes you feel miserable – physically with night shifts in a loud and unnatural environment, psychologically with a negative work team, and spiritually because you give up your spirit and creativity for a meaningless pay cheque at the end of the month. Some people called quitting 'courage', most people called us 'immature' and 'crazy', we just knew it was the only way. We didn't know what we would do to survive but realized we wanted to live from our hearts and be with our children.
I think there is a universal law that when you follow your heart the universe will bring you everything you need to achieve your deep calling.
I was growing sprouts and sold a few bags in the nearby market and Dolphin was dyeing baggy cotton shorts and selling them in the street in Toronto.
Two years later we had 2 home businesses. Sprouts For Life a certified organic sprout operation, growing wheat grass, sunflower sprouts and hydroponics for most health food stores in Toronto and area.
And The Funky Clothesline, a hand dyed and painted clothing business, selling colourful clothes all summer long at craft shows and festivals throughout Ontario.
Five years hence both these successful enterprises demanded too much attention. Again we decided to simplify, possibly have 'less' monetarily but more qualitatively in terms of family and personal time. We sold the sprout business, moved to a quiet place on a river in a bush, and for the past three years have the winters off for self-exploration. We now spend most of our time with our kids. By giving them the most from us, we get jut as much in exchange through their natural understanding of life and wisdom, the instant mirroring of our negativities. By working at being better parents, we end up being better persons.
The sprout business gave us health and knowledge with our bodies. We still grow a lot of sprouts for our whole family, drink wheat grass juice daily, do regular fasts and cleanses. Fresh air, pure water and nature make our life blessed at the health level.
The inspiration and the art sprung up out of these quiet times of introspection.
As the time goes we are living from the heart as much as possible, working to have integrated mindful days including healthy homemade foods, meditation, yoga, walks and quality time with our children.
Living a freer, less busy, less cluttered life opened a channel in me that allowed the inspiration 'flow'. Through art, I have found my way of sharing with the world and connecting deeply with people. I focuss on living well at all levels of the body, mind, spirit and in relationships to simply let the intelligence and beauty of this universe come through in the images.
I've been meeting a lot of free spirits lately that took the same road and are successful at hearts, and to whom the universe has provided.
I only wish my story to inspire any soul out there that is wondering if there is another way of life that is really about living.

A toy giraffe. That is a memory Margarita Mendez carries with her. The giraffe with bendy legs was tucked inside a Santa Claus Fund gift box and packed alongside warm clothing and treats, all for her 3-year-old son Miguel.
The family came to Canada as government sponsored refugees in the spring of 1986 and they were forced to leave most of their possessions behind.
"When we came we were just allowed to bring two suitcases, for the whole family. We were living in Mexico. We didn't have coats, clothes, hats, nothing," said Mendez, 66, now executive director of Nellie's emergency shelter and advocacy centre. "It was really nice having those clothes, and mittens, and a small giraffe. It was so cute."
Nellie's is a place of safety, where vulnerable women and children can be guided towards whatever the next phase in life holds for them. During the holiday season those clients also get a little extra gift-wrapped support in the form of a Toronto Star Santa Claus Fund gift box.
Launched in 1906, the fund was created to bring a bit of holiday magic to families who might be struggling to make ends meet. It is made possible every year through the generosity of Star readers.
This year, 45,000 gift boxes will be delivered across Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Ajax and Pickering, to children age 12 and younger. The box holds a warm piece of clothing (toddlers get a fleece-lined tracksuit while newborn infants get a five-piece set that includes a onesie), a hat, gloves or mittens, socks, a toy, a book, cookies and items like toothbrushes and toothpaste (age 4 and up) inside.
About 3,000 will be delivered to multiple shelters and drop-ins, largely in Toronto, and any surplus boxes and bulk items are also distributed to agencies helping people in need.
Mendez said there is no shortage of need in the emergency sector and among the clients they serve. A dearth of safe-and-affordable housing combined with a lack of available support services, particularly mental health supports, means agencies helping marginalized people continue to see their client lists grow.
"The women are the ones who are the experts. We are not the experts," said Mendez. "They are the ones who know what they have experienced. They know how much time they need for the healing and they know when they are ready to start moving forward."
Barbara Mrozek, director of Toronto Star charities and philanthropy said the contents of the box haven't changed over the years. The gifts are designed to give families a mix of comfort, joy and admittedly function, she said.
"Let's face it everyone's dryer eats a sock and for families who are struggling, replacing lost socks or mittens can be a very stressful purchase," she said.
Nellie's intake worker Jessica McEwan, 31, knows first hand how the gift box can bring a bit of relief during what can be a trying time of year. McEwan received a box during her daughter's first Christmas, in 2011. She was working full-time as manager of a fast-food restaurant and coffee shop and still needed social assistance to make ends meet.
"I was struggling to get by, with rent and our basic necessities. So Christmas for me was a little bit of a burden. It was a little bit harder for me to provide presents for her. That Christmas I needed that extra help."
As a preteen, McEwan and her family relied on emergency shelters. Working at Nellie's has allowed her to use her life experience to give back, so has her experience as a young mother struggling to pay the bills.
"Just seeing when the mothers come to pick up those presents. You can see a level of stress is lifted off, that 'I have this covered now'."
Having a gift also helps provide a sense of normalcy for children who have been through trauma or are in an unfamiliar environment, said Anna Morgan, program manager.
"It helps them to provide a fun, exciting moment for their kids and helps provide some of the basic needs," Morgan said.
"Kids love the toys. They remember the thing they get to play with. I just think that fun and excitement for the children is so important."

Portland Police Open Investigation In Death of Black Transgender Woman – OPB News
Portland Police Open Investigation In Death of Black Transgender Woman OPB News
The family of Otis "TeTe" Michael Gulley Jr. began to receive frantic messages on social media May 27, asking "how are you related to TeTe?" and "call me …
The family of Otis "TeTe" Michael Gulley Jr. began to receive frantic messages on social media May 27, asking "how are you related to TeTe?" and "call me ASAP."
When Richard Bryant, Gulley's brother, called one of the numbers back, the voice on the other end of the phone told him Gulley was dead.
According to the Portland Police Bureau, Gulley was found hanging in a tree in Rocky Butte Park near a homeless campsite.
Gulley, 31, was a black transgender woman and homeless.
The Oregon Medical Examiner's Office ruled the death a suicide at the scene.
In a statement, PPB said "the Police Bureau does not determine cause or manner of death, does not perform autopsies, does not determine whether or not an autopsy should be performed, and does not have the authority to release documents from other agencies. The Oregon State Medical Examiner's Office has these roles."
The medical examiner has not released any documents related to Gulley's death, and declined a records request from OPB, saying there isn't sufficient public interest and releasing the documents would violate privacy laws.
Police opened an investigation this week after the Portland Mercury published a story saying the victim's family had spoken to potential witnesses about a video of the incident. Gulley's family and friends question the medical examiner's ruling and suspect Gulley may have been the victim of foul play.
Gulley's sister, Crystal, said police have been slow to investigate.
"They're not doing what they're supposed to," she told OPB. "My brother wasn't suicidal. He wasn't the type of person to harm himself. He's never harmed himself in the history of time. And I know I wasn't around him everyday, but that's my brother, he's not."
Gulley's gender identity has been described in a multiple ways by family and friends, who have used various pronouns in reference to Gulley. Family members say Gulley would "transform" and wear women's clothes and makeup. Others have called Gulley transgender and used female pronouns.
Family say that because Gulley was black, queer and homeless, police did not investigate.
Gulley was also diagnosed with mental health issues in middle school, but family said that he was never medicated or a risk to himself.
Gulley's mother, Kenya Robinson, said "he came here for a better life."
"So I guess this is what you would call someone who identifies as transfeminine and very comfortable in that fluidity," said Gulley's cousin YaYa, who did not want to give her full name because she is transgender and fears repercussions. "Very comfortable, supported, one of three queer siblings."
Gulley's mother, younger brother and sister all moved to Portland within the last couple of years from Kansas City, Missouri. In Portland, they believed Gulley would be safe expressing himself.
"It's dangerous where we're from, so to avoid the situation we're dealing with now, he was here," Crystal Gulley said.
In the hours and days following Gulley's death, the family has been inundated with phone calls, messages on social media and rumors of what happened to their loved one.
Gulley spent the night before the incident at his sister's house and went to Walmart with Robinson the next day. Little is known about what happened in between then and Gulley's death.
"People that were there in the camp said he didn't commit suicide, that he was killed," Robinson said.
The family also said they did not get to see Gulley until more than a week after the death, when Gulley's body was released to a funeral home. Shortly after their visit, Gulley was cremated.
"For them to say that he committed suicide, it's just hard to believe because he was just so full of joy regardless of what was going on around him," Robinson said.
The family said they hope police will get them some answers.
"All the transes we grew up with, they were killed, and the police in Kansas City didn't do anything about it. Nothing. My brother lost all his friends," Crystal Gulley said. "And it's like the same thing here. They don't care about us."
