Which chalice should you choose?
This is another one of those restaurant industry gospels, glassware. The current trend promotes that each beer, wine or cocktail should be served in an appropriately shaped glass – but is there definable truth to this trend? Beverage connoisseurs of all kinds firmly stand behind their belief that the shape and size of a glass does matter.
Glassware dates as far back as 1500 BC, and the Egyptians are credited with this monumental discovery which has since evolved over the last 3500 years. How does glassware go from a glob of goo to that gorgeous stemware? Liquid receptacles like the "beer glass" are made from "bottle glass" – a blend of sand, soda and limestone, none of which are going extinct anytime soon, so don't fret when that $7 glass shatters, you can always replace it (it just becomes costly after the tenth time). The mixture is heated in a furnace, followed by glass blowing, shaping and cooling. Sounds easy, but glasses are hand made, one by one, without machines – I suppose this helps us to appreciate those expensive pieces on the top shelf of our dusty dining-room hutch. But how does each glass type differ from one another? What's the point of producing hundreds of different shapes, types and sizes?
Flip to the back of a Belgian trappist beer bottle, there's valuable information listed apart from the ingredients, and the 5¢ recycling jackpot – there is usually a picture of a glass – more than just a suggestion, it's really beer consumption instructions. For those that believe this is hog-wash, I urge you to experiment. Chester Carey, Canada's only Certified Cicerone – the equivalent of a Master Sommelier in the beer world – lends some great advice. Carey explains that most of what we taste in a beer comes directly from the aroma, centrally found in its foamy head. Although perfect beer pours often occur, beers still have different levels of carbonation and proteins, which affects the head on your beer once settled inside the glass. Ideal glassware, Carey explains, should be ultra-cleaned, dried, polished, and most importantly the top should be tapered back to keep the head in place for as long as possible. Beers that have a higher alcohol by volume should be poured in small amounts to maintain the head does not dissipate. Carey concludes that each beer style must therefore have its own glass shape it's best suited to, and that he much prefers the correct glass than a frosty glass – in the end, like tasting wines, aromas and tasting notes are best detected when the liquids are slightly warmer.
Of course, we are not suggesting that every bar owner in Vancouver race out to grab a case of each beer glass, we're just providing the awareness that the basic glass shape does matter. What does this mean for the hospitality industry/consumer? Another fact – the more education one has, the more likely an industry worker is to persuade a guest to try something outside-the-box – a different style of beer, or a different region (this includes the rep selling the beer products with accompanying glassware in the first place). The best example I recall is a popular Belgian beer called Duvel. In 1960, the official Duvel glass hit the market. Its unique tapered-tulip shape made it ideal to house the beer's super foamy head for an extended period of time – this made each sip equally as flavourful and aromatic as the previous one. Use Carey's advice as a guideline and try your own experiments based on the recommendations of other connoisseurs and brewmasters. In the end, it's still personal preference.
If proper glassware principles apply to the beer world so vividly, we can only imagine how intense the world of wine is. Likely the most popular household name in crystal stemware is Riedel, whether we have the money to splurge on their unique lines of glassware or not. I use them as the primary example for wine receptacles because they have taken this different glass for a different wine to an entirely new level. The caption on their website says it all, "for the last 50 years Riedel has been the leader in grape specific, wine friendly glassware". Why is this so important? Just as Carey described the aromas in beer are showcased through its foamy head, there is something quite similar about wine. For those who have never taken an instructional "how-to" on wine tasting, you really wouldn't know how important the glassware issue is. You're in luck, because all we really require are 2-4 different glasses just for wine, rather then stocking your cupboards with numerous 4 packs of over 22 glass types from Riedel's Sommelier Series, from Champagne flutes to Burgundy balloons to Whisky tumblers. An aromatic wine, like a pinot noir or a white Burgundy gets a wider glass – when you swirl the contents, the fragrance opens up in the wine, and each sip becomes a sensory adventure. A tighter wine, like a cabernet sauvignon or a syrah gets a thinner glass – rounder at the bottom, and slightly tapered at the top – when the contents are swirled, the aromas are released to your nose, while trapped in the glass for prolonged periods of time. I should make mention that most white wines are served in shorter, thinner glasses to prevent a rapid transfer of heat from the sippers hand to the wine, but very few white wines are meant to be consumed at 12℃. Companies like Riedel have capitalized on catering to the senses, and we applaud them, but for the modern bar owner, having a couple of versatile glass selections is a good idea, but it is unnecessary to carry an entire line of products if your restaurant or bar concept isn't indicative of an intense wine program.
The exciting thing about today's technology is that tempered glasses are available for high volume bar concepts. Tempered glass uses slightly different compounds to create the glassware itself, followed by heating up and quickly cooling down the glassware while its being manufactured. This can happen up to 5 times per glass. Basically, the heating/cooling allows the glass to create multi-layers resulting in a higher resistance to breakage, scratches and discoloration over time. Although they are only slightly cheaper in price to crystal, Arcoroc based out of France is an admirable choice for durable long lasting tempered glassware – they just look a little "thick" compared to crystal.
Lastly, the phenomenon that has taken the modern world by storm – the elusive cocktail. Although cocktails have been created and constructed for over 100 years, a different kind of glassware line seems to have been created specifically for different types of cocktails – blending, shaken, stirred and built. Now we as bar and restaurant owners/managers are faced with another question – how far are we willing to go with our beverage program. An alcohol forward establishment, who's sole generation of income relies on the sale of alcoholic beverages, may be able to justify an entire fleet of glasses to satisfy every facet of their cocktail program. Individual prices can also be adjusted to reflect the cost of the glass used, labour involved in ultra-cleaning and polishing, and finally proper storage. These days, cocktail bars all over Vancouver are stocking their shelves a little differently – but how does one know what glassware to stock? Do we choose crystal or tempered? This is undoubtedly a choice made based on finances, concept, and demographic. There is a necessity to stock the back bar with old fashioned glasses (short, chubby glasses, usually between 6 – 16 oz, depending on whether it's the single or the double version), collins glasses (tall 10 – 14 oz glasses), highball glasses (taller and thinner than the old fashioned, holding 8 – 12 oz), martini/cocktail glasses, and shot glasses. However these are all a matter of preference. I have effectively visited and worked in bars that have 2 types of glasses, large and small – and it works.
As our city becomes more and more cultured within beverage preference and expectation, it is our job as bar and restaurant representatives to give the public something distinctive. Perhaps your establishment is resourceful enough to carry 5-6 different glasses that have proven versatile within the day-to-day operations of the business, but as I said before the selection of glassware made, from beer to wine to cocktail are completely indicative to the type of concept you wish to present.

Gabriel is a heavyweight robot that competed in Series 8 and 10 of Robot Wars. It reached the Heat Final in Series 8, losing to eventual Grand Finalist Pulsar on a close judges' decision but was defeated by the reigning Champion Carbide and 4th Place Aftershock in Series 10.
The name Gabriel is derived from the angel Gabriel, sent by God as a messenger to other biblical figures. This is reflected by the robot's white colour scheme and passive manner towards defeated robots, the team claiming that they want to be one of the 'good guys instead of a bad guy.'
Gabriel is the largest robot in the history of the TV series. It is a two-wheeled thwackbot armed with a variety of interchangeable blades and weapons, which it swings overhead by overturning the robot.
Robot History Edit
Live EventsEdit
Gabriel, along with Team Saint's other heavyweights The Saint and Cherub, are regular competitors at the live events, with the team in attendance at all events. Of the three robots, Gabriel enjoys the most success currently, with a mixture of wins, although Saint had previously earned the title of Tag Team Champion in 2014.
Gabriel's biggest success was at the Robot Wars World Championship 2015, where it placed third. It passed the first round through a Judges' decision over Luzifer, qualifying on aggression alongside Dystopia which pitted Toon Raider to take the other place. Gabriel won its second round match on a Judges' decision, based on aggression and damage caused to Tough as Nails after the latter had already pitted Beast. Gabriel fought a close match with Gravity in the quarter-finals, sustaining flips but also attacking with its sword. Eventually, Gravity flipped itself over, and did not have enough power to fully self-right, leading to a third win via Judges' decision for Gabriel, as Gravity was not counted out in time. Gabriel was finally eliminated after a close match with Thor, where Gabriel received more damage and lost its fourth Judges' decision.
Gabriel made its 2016 live Robot Wars debut at Manchester, although it was thrown out of the arena by Behemoth and Ripper in its two battles.
Robot Wars Series 8Edit
Gabriel competed in Episode 5, where it fought Crazy Coupe 88, Infernal Contraption and Beast in its first round melee. Gabriel initially attacked Crazy Coupe 88, but after it was flipped by Beast, it switched its attention towards Infernal Contraption, striking at the exposed wheels. Gabriel missed an attack on Beast while Crazy Coupe 88 was immobilised, but successfully swung onto Infernal Contraption again. Gabriel qualified for the next round with Beast when Infernal Contraption drove into the pit.
In the second round, Gabriel faced Chompalot. The team were confident going into the battle, believing that Chompalot's jaw would not reach the body of Gabriel, and considered switching their weapon to a pickaxe, but kept the sword in the end. When the battle started, Gabriel landed a blow with the sword, but the team's confidence that Chompalot could not grab Gabriel's body proved to be misplaced, and Chompalot grabbed hold of Gabriel's body. However, this also meant that Chompalot's wheels were off the ground, and Gabriel pushed it into Dead Metal, where it was overturned. The House Robot inflicted damage, but Team Saint did not want their opponent to sustain severe damage, and Gabriel caused major damage to Dead Metal in order to cease the punishment, which was cut from television. Gabriel struck the side of Chompalot, where armour was missing, and this immobilised Chompalot on one side. Gabriel landed further blows onto the top of Chompalot, and when the dragon was thrown by the floor flipper, Gabriel had won the battle by knockout. Despite Gabriel's best attempts, however, Chompalot suffered severe damage after its batteries ignited, forcing it to withdraw from the competition.
Gabriel's next opponent was the powerful bar spinner, Ironside3. Gabriel was equipped with its battleaxe weapon, in order to try and jam up the spinning bar. Gabriel started the battle tentatively, hoping to clash battleaxe-to-bar, but sustained damage itself. Gabriel sustained three blows to its large wheels, and was caught by Sir Killalot, which burnt it over the flame pit. When freed, Gabriel's axe pole was bent by Ironside3, and still failed to land a single hit on Team Outlaw's machine, sutaining more damage as it was pushed back into the grip of Sir Killalot, although it buried its axe into the House Robot. Reflecting away from another Ironside3 blow, Gabriel's axe became stuck in the grid of the flame pit, and could not pull itself out without assistance from Sir Killalot. Gabriel still lingered over the flame pit, and took another huge hit from Ironside3. Gabriel had lost pieces of rubber from its wheels, and the damage sustained throughout meant that the unanimous Judges' decision was given to Ironside3. Craig Colliass revealed after the battle that Gabriel's weapon was rendered useless, as a blow from Ironside3 broke one of Gabriel's torque limiters, preventing the robot from gaining the speed to flip itself over.
Due to Pulsar's position on six points and Ironside3's five points, Gabriel needed to defeat Beast via knockout in order to qualify for the Heat Final, which was unclear on television due to the order of the Ironside3 vs Pulsar and Beast vs Gabriel battles being switched, despite Dara Ó Briain and Jonathan Pearce stating that Gabriel required a knockout win to progress, and could not go to a Judges' decision. Gabriel reverted to its signature sword. Beast had already entered the battle without a functional weapon, and Gabriel immediately rained blows down onto the top of it. These repeated attacks had immobilised Beast on one side, so Gabriel pressed the pit release, and launched more gentle attacks onto Beast. Team Saint sensed that they had already won the battle by knockout, and held back, Gabriel posing by holding its sword aloft. Gabriel launched a few more attacks, but then held off once again, not wanting to inflict further damage onto Beast. Gabriel nudged Beast towards the pit, but could not push it in, so span in circles as cease was called. Although the match had lasted the full three minutes, the Judges declared that Beast was immobile during the fight, and Gabriel was awarded the full three points, awarding it a place in the Heat Final.
In the Heat Final, Gabriel fought the reinstated Pulsar for the first time. It struggled to land a blow on the compact drum spinner, and Pulsar struck the sword of Gabriel to throw it over. Gabriel took control of the fight after this, missing with most attacks, but landed two blows on Pulsar, one of which directly striking the wheels. However, Pulsar caused damage to the wheels of Gabriel, and threw it over again. One wedge attack turned Gabriel onto its side, which caused Gabriel to miss its chance to attack a briefly immobile Pulsar. Gabriel was spun into Sir Killalot, where it also pressed the pit release button inadvertently, also striking the House Robot. Pulsar suddenly stopped moving, at which point Gabriel hammered it repeatedly. Although Pulsar regained movement, Gabriel took advantage of the same situation straight afterwards. In the late stages of the battle, Gabriel sustained damage to its wheels from the mobile Pulsar, and part of it was thrown towards a camera. Gabriel drove over the floor flipper and was thrown backwards by it, when cease was called.
The Judges' decision was unanimously called in favour of Pulsar, but Gabriel remained in contention for a wildcard position in the Grand Final along with Behemoth, Thor, Dantomkia and Storm 2. When the Judges chose Thor, Gabriel was eliminated from the competition.
To entertain the crowd in an untelevised fight, Gabriel fought a "whiteboard match" against Behemoth, driven by Team Saint's youngest member, Toby. Although Gabriel was launched onto its side by Behemoth, and Gabriel lost power to one of its wheels during the battle, when the crowd decided the victor of the match, the resulting cheer awarded the victory to Gabriel. A clip of the battle was used in some opening sequences of the show. Gabriel was too damaged to participate in any further whiteboard matches.
Robot Wars Series 9 Edit
During filming for Series 9, Gabriel took part in an exhibition match against Behemoth where both robots ended up in the pit after Behemoth shoved Gabriel in.

the Beacon Journal editorial board
Hillary Clinton already has admitted errors in the way she handled email during her time as secretary of state. A report from the State Department inspector general, released on Wednesday, fills in details about the mistakes she made. The criticism is sharp at times, and appropriately so. Clinton had opportunities to do things differently, as today she says she wishes she had, but she let them slide.
That said, this matter deserves some perspective. The inspector general makes plain that the department has been slow to adapt and implement policies in the era of the Internet, revealing �longstanding, systemic weaknesses.�
Clinton has been cudgeled for using a personal mobile device to conduct department business. The report maintains that she did not ask for permission. At the same time, department procedures lacked clarity. A timeline in the report reminds even a 2014 update left room for using personal email.
At one point, a staff member suggests Clinton start using the State email system. She sounds open to the idea in an email exchange, as long as private messages are protected. But things stopped there.
The first problem with the Clinton email, as discussed in the report, is her failure to follow procedures for archiving communications. The process is cumbersome. Officials using their own devices have an obligation to print and file each piece of email. This is crucial in capturing the record of a secretary or department, the equivalent of the letters and documents that historians have mined to retrieve the past. Clinton did not comply until she provided 30,000 email messages to State in 2014.
The report indicates that even then messages still are missing. It isn�t good enough to assume, as Clinton did, that communications with department staff members will result in capturing the email.
The second problem involves the security threat. The inspector general emphasizes how the use of a private server by Clinton amounts to a far lesser degree of protection, He argues that if Clinton had asked to proceed as she did, she would have been denied permission. All of that makes sense, the government with a secure system and employees, from top to bottom, required to use it.
What deserves mention is that the Clinton server was secure in its own way, constructed for a former president and first lady. No evidence has surfaced yet to indicate that it has been hacked, unlike the State Department, which has proved vulnerable.
That isn�t to diminish the mistakes Clinton has admitted. Neither do the inspector general�s findings suggest anything illegal. If the FBI still must issue its report, the released email falls far from the categories of corrupt, scandalous, or David Petraeus turning over classified documents to his biographer and mistress.
Hillary Clinton erred, as the inspector general concludes. She neglected proper procedures. But it is hard see any dark intent in what she did. So far, the email points to a diplomat dealing with global complexities, lesser and greater, along with the mundane making regular appearances.

Black-capped Chickadee excavating a nest cavity
Poecile atricapillus
Black Lake Meadows
Olympia, WA
March 18, 2015
From the Edward L. Rose Conservancy's December 2014 newsletter, written by Kristi Sullivan (Co-Director of the Conservation Education and Research Program at Cornell's Department of Natural Resources)
Chickadees live in wooded habitats of all kinds, including deciduous and mixed deciduous/coniferous woodlands, open woods, old fields, parks, and neighborhoods. They are most abundant along forest edges. Chickadees will excavate nest cavities in dead trees or dead tree limbs by pecking away rotting wood. They will also use old woodpecker holes if available, and sometimes will use nesting boxes when natural cavities are not available. The male and female both work to excavate the nest cavity, though the female alone lines the nest cavity with moss, feathers, plant down, hair, and insect cocoons. Once the cavity is lined, the female lays 6-8 eggs, which she alone incubates. The male feeds the female while she is on the nest, and both parents feed the young after they hatch.
Forests with between 50 - 75% canopy closure, and a well-developed middle and lower canopy layer, are optimum habitat for chickadees. The abundance of leaves under these conditions attracts insects that provide food for these birds. Because black-capped chickadees nest in tree cavities and can only excavate a cavity in soft or rotten wood, landowners can create ideal breeding habitat by managing to provide two snags (trees that are dead or partially dead) per acre between 4 and 10 inches in diameter. Snags provide holes, or cavities, in which chickadees and many other species can roost or nest and will help keep your woods alive year-round with the sights and sounds of bird life.

CHIJ KUMAR SHRESTHA, Country Director, World Education Inc, is a known figure in Nepal's civil society movement. Former chairperson of the Association of International Non-governmental Organizations, Shrestha spoke to New Spotlight on various issues, particularly the role played by Nepal's civil society organizations, like World Education, in the process of development and social transformation. Excerpts:
What is the main area of work for the World Education Inc?
We strongly believe that education is the key to help people access new information which leads them to the realm of knowledge about their rights and their situation and empowers them to take necessary steps to address them. This is the reason we have been saying that education is the key to any development. It is more important in a country like ours where the education system is still poor. Although we have been talking about free and compulsory education, the country is yet to provide both. Of course, enrollment in schools in general is increasing but there are still quite a lot of children who are outside the schools. Besides, a lot of adult women, who have the responsibility of bringing up their children, are themselves not literate. All of them have effects in our development efforts. Lack of education is behind our slow progress in development activities. Education, both formal and non-formal, needs a boost. Formal way of education will help raise the rate of literacy because a large number of students are going to formal schools. But, those children and adults who are left out from the main stream of education have to go through non-formal channels.
How are you working?
World Education Inc has been working in partnership with local NGOs and in collaboration with Department of Education and UNICEF in various districts of Nepal. Our partners and our staff have worked together at local, regional and national levels to improve the lives of poor and marginalized groups through educational health and economic interventions. One of our key programs is directed to combating child labor through educational interventions.
How do you take the Naya Bato and Naya Paila Project (2009-2012)?
This is one of the ongoing efforts to combat child labor through ( New Path, New Steps) educational interventions. We have reached out to child beneficiaries in six worst forms of child labor sectors including brick making, portering, mining, jari industry, domestic labor and commercial sexual exploitation of children. Supported by United States Department of Labor, this program has brought a tangible change in the life of several thousand child laborers. It also has generated awareness among the people regarding the child labor situation and related government laws in the country.
What are the other benefits of the program?
We have launched various activities to improve income generation opportunities for over 13,00 families of beneficiary children. We have already launched the programs to make learning more practical or oriented towards the life sills. Working with different stakeholders, we have also developed pre-vocational curriculum package for public schools and are working with implementing partners in vocational training as well as vocational apprenticeships.
What other programs have you done so far?
In collaboration with the Department of Education and UNICEF, we are providing technical assistance to improve management and planning for education and improve the Education Management Information System and in developing resource materials to make schools more child friendly. Same way, technical assistance is provided to the Children in Armed Forces and Armed Groups (CAFAAG) and Schools as Zone of Peace projects. These programs have brought many successful examples in reintegration attempts for the children as well as successful promotion of the code of conduct for school authorities. In the year 2010, we reached out to 958 CAFAAG beneficiaries and under SZOP, reached out to 550 schools and 232,945 children in 9 districts.
At a time when there are huge gaps in the resource allocation in education, health and many other social sectors, what is the role of the international civil society organizations like yours to play? How can INGOs supplement and compliment the resource gap in the government programs?
International NGOs can do two things. First, provide additional resources and second, bring quality. For example in the education sector, the present state of resources is not adequate to meet the needs. Even the available resources from government and donor funding are yet to reach in the areas where they are required. There is no equity in resource distribution. There is no flexibility in testing out innovative approaches. National and international organizations like World Education Inc can play important roles in these areas.
As the government of Nepal has been launching activities against child labor, what difference does the program launched by World Education Inc make?
First of all when we launched the child labor project, our concentration was on the theme of education for all. As long as we cannot get the school age children enrolled in school, we cannot claim that we provided the education for all. If we take the example of disabled children, only a tiny portion of the disabled children are in school. Number of child laborers is very big. One of the aims of our project is to send these children to schools and to provide them education. After inception of the project, we have encountered a number of things which we had not imagined before its inception. Over 50 percent of children are forced by their parents to go for child labor. Most employers are not aware of the state's laws regarding child labor. The enforcement part of the law is very poor. The children are not aware of their even basic rights to education, health etc. Hence our focus now is to launch awareness campaigns in working together with our NGO partners, help children understand their rights, work with the government stakeholders in addressing these issues and also with the family members in helping them to withdraw their children from the worst forms of child labor and sending them to school or other forms of education.
Why is education important to eliminate poverty?
Poverty and lack of awareness are the main reasons behind child labor. Once the children are trapped in the labor market, the children are not only deprived of basic education, they become victims of sexual and other forms of exploitations such as very long hours of work in an en environment which is hazardous for their health , poor living and eating conditions, not being able to be with other children, not getting paid, not getting proper care when they are sick etc. We have started additional program to generate awareness about the child rights among those who hire children for work, child laws and their responsibilities. A good number of employers have started to send the children in school for formal or non-formal education classes. There have been considerable changes in the living conditions of the children. We have also provided the Ministry of Labor and Transport in developing a Master plan on Child Labor.
Along with working as country director of World Education Inc, you also held the chairmanship of AIN. Although INGOs have made enormous contribution in Nepal's development and social transformation process, how do you see the negative perception of people regarding the role of civil society organizations like INGOs?
Although this situation is changing more positively in the recent years, I feel that there is some misunderstanding and misinterpretation regarding the role of INGOs in Nepal. We need to understand that an INGO can work in Nepal if a) the government allows them to work here. This is done through a general agreement with the Social Welfare Council b) if the INGO is able to mobilize resources for the activities they agree to carry out under the general agreement followed by a project agreement. And c) if the organization has technical capacity to implement the project. It part, perhaps it is our weakness too that we have not been able to disseminate information on our work – its aims and objectives properly to the different stakeholders in the community. AIN has been more active in addressing these issues recently by a) developing partnership guidelines for working in Nepal and b) adopting a code of conduct. These documents specifically mention the core guiding principles related to topics like accountability, transparency, coordination, commitment to equity and diversity etc. Anybody can access to these documents from the AIN Secretariat.
As INGOs have been contributing over 12 billion dollars in Nepal's various development programs, why do people not recognize it?
People need to understand that If INGOs don't bring such resources, the resource gap will be larger. Moreover, the gap will be in such a sector where government's program has minimum effect. We are committed to equity and diversity of people whether it be in our own organizations or among those we work with or the beneficiaries of our projects in terms of caste, gender, ethnicity and religion. Our effort is reaching the un-reached, unrepresented or marginalized groups. We are happy to note that the government institutions like National Planning Commission, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education and other number of line ministries are recognizing the role of INGOs by seeking AIN's input in various policy related matters.

Study in UK Dwell Your Dream
Faculties in London may be just what one needs to break out of their shell and study something totally different from a brand new perspective. Many college students keep inside their snug boundaries and are educated with the same group of friends that they've recognized from grade school and nothing but teachers are taught. Studying in London can present the brand new ambiance needed to start out with a clear slate.
Jindal School of Worldwide Affairs gives the proper perception and acts as a catalyst for college kids to cater to the method. The esteemed school at the institute imparts the schooling that relates t the study of relationships among nations, the position of sovereign states, the intergovernmental organizations, non-governmental organizations and multinational corporations.
A pal in want, prepared to alleviate is a buddy certainly. An un-common phrase, but Assignment Assist helps you identify your self in nearer proximity to your task and finishing it. The mounting pressures coming forth from assignments shouldn't destroy the peace which a youth / younger prospective business tycoon ought to endure. At the growing stage be it that of a plant or even a small child, as parents there's always been the endeavor to … Read More

That if 5 authors start with the same sentence, they will all write vastly different stories. The results: made of awesome. From contemporary to futuristic, these novellas have a little bit of everything, but most especially—love-filled happy endings.
And then we decided we wanted to not just share our stories with the world, but help people too.
Starting January 1, 2018 the First Sentence Anthology Collection went to $.99, and proceeds from sales of all "One-Sentence Anthologies" will go to help Mary's Shelter in Reading, PA.

Remember the last time you bought something really cheap online, thinking that you have scored a bargain with your haul? I made a shocking discovery recently so I thought I should alert all beauty junkies like me who would at times take the risk to buy something cheap online.
I bought a batch of 4 bottles of Sensibio from a vendor six months back from an online shop. There was a 1 for 1 sale and I thought, geez… thats really good deal! So i placed the order and you can imagine how thrilled I was when they arrived.
Fast forward 6 months later, I finally finished my bottle of Bioderma Sensibio that i had purchased at retail price from local pharmacy. So I thought hey, I can now open one of the four bottles to use now! The bottles of Sensibio looks genuine as the vendor had claimed. However, my first reaction when I wiped the solution with my cotton pad was "hmmm, this doesn't feel quite right… its quite slippery and foamy…". I thought I was just too tired, so I used it again for the next few days just want to be absolutely certain that something is not right. On the fifth day, I couldn't take the soapiness any longer, so i started googling to see if there was supposed to be new formula in the product or whether I was over reacting. I chances upon a blog which described how Sensibio should feel like on our skin, and the texture of fakes. Then I recalled that I still had a small sample bottle of Sensibio tucked somewhere in my room (bought it from pharmacy) so I broke the seal to make a comparison. True enough, the Sensibio that I'd bought from the pharmacy was exactly how it should have been, but the one I bought online at one for one promotion was way too soapy and had a faint apple scent.
The fortunate part of this story is that I did manage to obtain refund for 3 out of 4 bottles. The vendor refunded without question, and I am now left with 4 bottles of fakes in my room.
From this I learnt that I should have been more prudent and careful with those super sales online, although there are genuine sales around. I just want to caution fellow readers out there to be more careful in dealing with vendors who claim to import products in parallel.
How about you? Have you experienced similar incidents?

On our way to Houston from our summer outing at Big Bend in 1993, Segy and I drove through Fredericksburg for the first time. Traffic was heavy, so I couldn't really look around until we got the red light by the Christmas Store. We agreed to return for a visit; but he grew up, went off to college, and that was that.
Last year Steven asked me to name places I'd always wanted to visit but hadn't.
Fredericksburg was at the top of my list. "It's been fifteen years since Segy and I discovered the place, but we never went back. Too busy with school and work." Steven wasted no time getting us a three-day weekend; and off we went on what Kylie, our five-year-old granddaughter, calls "another great adventure."
All those years I'd imagined walking into the Christmas Store became a reality when we walked onto Main Street. Steven had been there numerous times, but I was in awe of the place! We sampled the goodies at Rustin' Rob's and were mesmerized by all the gadgets and unusual finds at the 10 & 25. I wanted to stay a long, long time; but a storm was brewing.
That evening, the town welcomed us with lightning, thunder, and torrential rain. The following day, Steven inquired about the times for Mass at the local Catholic church.
St. Mary's past and present
What a beautiful church! Gorgeous icons. Old fashioned pews. Lovely parishioners, inclusive and friendly.
After Mass, we wandered around and helped ourselves to a few Divine Mercy prayer cards to share with our friends back home. The best part was yet to come, however.
On walking out onto the sidewalk, we noticed what we'd overlooked before. St. Mary's 19th-century counterpart, adjacent to the building we'd just exited, beckoned to us. Of course, it was closed at the time; but we consoled ourselves by agreeing to return another time.
Although we haven't gone back for a look see, I recently found something almost as good as a firsthand experience. This veritable treasure trove features picture tours of "the painted churches in Texas," including— would you believe it— St. Mary's.
Wow! God does indeed listen to our heart's desires.
August 5, 2011
Looking through my stash of prayer cards recently I came across the Divine Mercy cards, small and large, from our visit to St. Mary's Church.

SPbPU Energy Industry Summer School: More International Students
The number of participants in the Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University short summer programme has increased three-fold from 2016.
In 2017, 117 students from Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America came to SPbPU for a three-week course to do the modules on electrical energy industry, turbo machinery and nuclear engineering.
Lectures were read by Russian and international visiting professors. The school organisers invite specialists from foreign partner universities every year. 2017 summer school international lecturers came from Milan, Turin and Genoa.
Subject-specific tours were part of the programme: students visited Kirishi thermal power plant, JSC REP power engineering holding, a Siemens company and the Leningrad nuclear power plant where they saw new reactors under construction.
Extracurricular activities included walking tours of Petersburg places of interests and a trip to the ancient fortress Oreshek outside the city.
SPbPU plans to run Energy Industry School in winter 2018. The university will customarily invite international lecturers for the programme; also, it will add Gazprom to the list of companies to be toured by students.

Becoming A Classic Car Owner
What's the appeal of owning a classic car?
Classic cars are something to be admired, especially a well-kept one, which deserve a second glance.

If you're thinking a relocation, and don't want to worry about the stress of hooking up and dragging additional wheels or wagon with you, particularly if it is travelling to a far distant location. A car transport service is an excellent way to move your vehicles without the trouble of having to hire a tow-train or auto trailer.

Classic cars are old models yet are much coveted by enthusiastic collectors. It is hard to maintain, but the hobbyists find it very fulfilling.

Irish companies must put plans in place to protect themselves against the risks of Brexit in what will be a challenging year, Enterprise Ireland (EI) chief executive Julie Sinnamon has warned.
Writing in today's Sunday Independent she says: "I urge companies who haven't already done so to put a plan in place to identify and mitigate potential risks facing their business arising from Brexit, particularly in the immediate term, in the area of currency risk-management."
She said that the body had already introduced several supports for regional companies.
"While we are pleased to report these positive results, as the phase-two Brexit negotiations commence, significant challenges remain for Irish companies.
"With a potential slowdown in the UK economy and possibly further currency volatility, we expect 2018 to be a challenging year for Irish companies," she continues.
"It makes good business sense to have a robust strategy in place to ensure that your business is more innovative, competitive and diversified into key markets, whatever the eventual outcome of the negotiations."
In the coming weeks, a new market discovery fund will be available to Irish business.
The fund will support companies to undertake the groundwork and preparations necessary to enter new markets.
A "key concern is the lack of sustained investment in innovation by many Irish companies," she writes.

Joining the EITI
At the I International EITI Conference held in London on June, 2003 the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Mr. Ilham Aliyev declared the decision of the government of Azerbaijan to join the EITI and support the international efforts aimed at ensuring transparency in extractive industries. Azerbaijan volunteered to become a pilot country in the EITI implementation. The countries joined in EITI, the extractive industry companies and the non-governmental organizations adopted a Declaration on the principles of the EITI.
Three following reporting forms were adopted at the conference:

"You know that Azerbaijan has joined the international Transparency Initiative. We have been involved in this for more than a year and support the initiative by the British Prime Minister. Azerbaijan is the only country that is actively taking part in this Initiative.

The Committee on the EITI, local and foreign extractive industry companies and Coalition for Improving Transparency in Extractive Industries signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). It was the first document in the world of this kind.

The Cardinal's letter to the Telegraph reads:
SIR – Charles Moore (Comment, December 15) sets out with admirable clarity why marriage is and should remain a unique and binding contract between a man and a woman, open in principle to the possibility of generating children. That in the Christian Church it is also a sacrament gives it a special value for Christian believers; but that in no way detracts from its character as an institution of central importance for the welfare of society as a whole, to believers and unbelievers alike.
Redefining marriage as simply a contract between individuals irrespective of their sex, without regard either to its procreative function or to the complementarity of the relationship between man and woman, would be an abuse of language. More important, it would weaken marriage by diminishing its implications and its significance. That, and not homophobia, is why many people outside what Mr Moore calls the culturally dominant "minority" are opposed to the Government's proposal – and why more than 600,000 people have signed a petition against it. The state has the right to oversee the administration and legal aspects of marriage, but it has never been accepted that the state can dictate to individuals and society itself what marriage should mean to us. It is clear that many problems would arise if the legislation as now tabled were to be implemented.
In the run-up to the last election, David Cameron led us to believe that the strengthening of marriage as an institution was one of his important objectives; and the Conservative Party's manifesto, which made no mention of "gay marriage", included a proposed tax break for married couples. Nothing has been heard of the latter proposal, and instead of action to strengthen marriage we have the proposal to abandon the traditional understanding of marriage on the basis of a "consultation" which explicitly excluded the possibility of a negative result. Protestations that this is all fundamentally "conservative" ring a bit hollow.
It is difficult not to wonder how far the Prime Minister is someone whose steadiness of purpose can be relied on.
Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor Archbishop Emeritus of Westminster London W4

On Sunday morning, I headed back to the site for what was really the one event they had going on then, the communion service. I will write more about that separately on another site (late edit: it may now be found here), but here's a brief precis:
I got to the site at about 9:30, though having been told by a friend where to meet, I couldn't find the location mentioned, so I just parked my butt and said where I was. Though it was meant to be a multi-denominational service, it struck me as all rather Anglican in nature. There was some shamanistic chanting and those behind the communion table donned those scarf-like things that you get in very conservative churches. That said, one Anglican I spoke to afterwards said it was still rather different from what they had at their regular Sunday service. So I wonder if in trying to appeal to all and sundry, there was quite widespread alienation.
On the flip side of the high church stuff there was some happy clappy elements, it even threatened to turn into a barn dance at one point. Depending on your view, either the highlight or the nadir was a song I'd never heard before called "This little light of mine" which was so off-the-scale in terms of happy clappy, it made Shine Jesus Shine seem like Allegri's Miserere. If my church ever sings it, expect me to excuse myself for a few minutes.
Though probably the biggest disappointment (and I know I'm not alone in this) was the "sermon". Having noted that quite a few of the talks I attended the previous day were in some ways related to books that people had out, I was hoping for a more normal Sunday message where we could get a reasonable exposition of a passage of scripture, with practical application for how to apply it to our lives. Instead, though, we got another book plug. It was out of place and a sore misjudgment on the part of the speaker (and the organisers, if they knew that that was the message that was going to be preached). And the less said about the content of the sermon the better.
But I did manage to get some good sermons, as afterwards I headed to the venue known as The Mount, which is where the Quaker service had been the previous afternoon. Well, given the venue name, it was kind of inevitable that there would be sermons there at some point. This was sort of relay sermons with some great songs in between. If I could get hold of the songs, I would love to direct them to you. Imagine Billy Bragg were a christian, passionate about social justice and inclusion, then you'd get a fair impression of what we had. The other sermons we had were from Nadia Bolz-Weber and Padraig O Tuama (A transcript of Nadia's is available here). While each did their own part, and I didn't manage to take notes, the overall impression I left with was one of the down-to-earth practicality of christian belief. It was a call to action, without any hectoring tone, of a need to be gracious and live lives that reflect the best of humanity.
After a lateish lunch, I went over to the Big Top to continue a quest to hear of the best of humanity by listening to Mpho Tutu and Richard Burridge in conversation. Mpho seemed, on the basis of the billing, to be the guest of honour. She had spoken a little at communion earlier, giving a blessing to the congregation in Xhosa, though it was a pity there was no one to translate. The conversation largely revolved around Mpho's father, Desmond Tutu. During the talk, we had a few clips played from a video he did about the notion of Ubuntu. Not the operating system, but the original word from which it is derived. Richard spoke about his own dealings with Desmond and the history of Greenbelt's involvement with the anti-apartheid movement. As such, I felt that we didn't really get to hear Mpho much, which was a bit of a shame. What I did get was that her big idea is that forgiveness is a process that we must go through. So simply say "I forgive you" is not exactly the same as enacting forgiveness. In other words, it's not something switched on and off like a light. I couldn't help but think of a parallel with Bonhoeffer's notion of costly grace. I've read some who have said that they can never forgive those who have wronged them. To those, I would direct them to Mpho's testimony.
Afterwards, I met up with a friend who I knew through Twitter. We'd exchanged numbers earlier and went off for coffee and a chat. After this, I headed to the main stage to listen to a DJ set by Gilles Peterson. If you've not come across him before, Gilles is to jazz what John Peel was to rock. He seems to be round for a while, as I recall listening to his Worldwide show at midnight between Wednesdays and Thursdays when I was a teenager. He opened up a whole new side of music that you could just never hear anywhere else. Different styles, odd vocalisations, rhythms that were alien to the usual fare of Radio 1 stuff.
After this, I went to sit in the Pagoda, awaiting a 5:30 discussion which featured a couple of guys I used to know. In my days at sixth form college, I would frequent an Anglican church town in the neighbouring town and afterwards a few of us would head up to the cemetery for hot chocolate and toasted sandwiches. Two of the panel of 5 used to live there. The motion proposed was: "This house believes that the 2015 Election will make no significant difference to the future of Britain." At the start of the meeting we took a straw poll which came out 50/50. Another poll was made at the end, but more of that later. On the 'for' side were Louise Donkin of SPEAK and Martin Newell of the Catholic Worker Network. On the 'against' side were Pippa Morgan of the LibDem Christian Forum and Gavin Shuker, the Labour Co-Op MP for Luton South. The chair was Andy Flannagan who is the head of Christians on the Left, formerly known as the Christian Socialist Movement. It may strike you, as it did many in the tent that this was a particularly left-leaning panel (though there was an amusing moment when, in reference to physical location, Louise was said to be "on the far right"). It was noted that Conservative representation was sought but that no one was available to come to Greenbelt to represent them. All four candidates spoke very well. From my point of view, I thought Louise probably came off as the most reasonable. Martin was good, though I thought his views were a little simplistic. For example, why I would agree that the scrapping of Trident would be a good idea, I think careful planning would need to be done so as to not unnecessarily increase unemployment or do to the towns which house Trident workers what Thatcher did the mining towns in the north of England. Yet I wouldn't hold that the threat of unemployment should prevent discussion of nuclear disarmament. On the against side, I have to say that Gavin rather outshone Pippa; his experience of debating showing. I know Sarah Teather was around on site on the day, so I did wonder why she didn't represent the Lib Dems here. The question really hung on the term 'significant'. No one denied that the outcome of the election would make a difference, but whether there were big enough differences between the parties was what I doubted. After the debate had gone through some prepared questions, the floor was opened up so the audience got to participate. The questions here varied in quality, often straying away from the main topic at hand and into more general politics (like an edition of Question Time, only without a token comedian, Daily Mail columnist or Nigel Farage). After a few had been asked, I decided to raise my hand to ask a question, about a topic that I feel quite strongly about. I can't recall exactly how I worded it, but it was something like this: "[One of the causes for disillusionment with politics is the perception that politicians have greater loyalty to their party whips than to their constituents. Would you agree that the whips should be either abolished or reformed?]" (for an earlier take on it, see here). To make it a bit more specific, I wanted to ask the elected members of the panel (which turned out to just be Gavin) if they had voted against their party lines on the basis of representation received from one or more constituents. Louise and Martin both agreed with my premise, that whips are undemocratic and should be scrapped. To focus on Gavin's response, though, he named a number of bills that had passed that had been subject to a whip, including the founding of the NHS. In effect, though, his answer was a variation of "[the end justifies the means]" which I found quite unsatisfactory. In fairness, though, he did say that he had voted against his party, though that was on his own conscience rather than on the basis of representing his constituents. The vote was taken again at the end and this time it was not a draw. While I remained voting on the 'for' side, I was now in the minority. As I left, I remained unconvinced, but my hope is that young politicians like Gavin and Pippa do not allow Westminster life to jade them, as both showed a decent level of integrity. Probably the strongest point made, harking back to one made by Owen Jones the day before, was the potential of the election to be changed by those who don't currently vote but who are entitled to. My personal idea is that if there is to be any increase in voter turnout, it may be for UKIP and which may dilute the Tory vote, favouring Labour in some marginal seats.
I had a bit of a break for dinner (a lovely Goan fish curry) before heading to a talk I had been more or less instructed to go to. 4 friends were doing a discussion about 'transition'. Now, this had been a little ambiguously worded, which was unfortunate as I was led to believe that some thought it was a talk on being transgendered. In fact, it was 4 stages of going through being an Anglican minister. One had just left their career to start their training. One had just finished training and was now a vicar. One had just finished their first vicaring job and had moved onto a new parish. The last had just a parish to go and work in a cathedral. I freely admit, and I said it to their faces, that it was almost wholly irrelevant to me. I'm not an Anglican and have no intentions of becoming one any time soon. I still haven't got my head round all the various ranks within the hierarchy, but I think lay reader is lower than deacon which is lower than rector, but I'm not sure if there are in between steps. Even one of the participants (@goodinparts – imagine Hyacinth Bucket but with all the haughty pretension replaced by gentle charm) admitted that she didn't really know what a canon pastor does – and she is one! Congregational and presbyterian structures are so much simpler! Anyway, before the talk started in a very packed tent, I was surprised when someone knelt down next to where I was sitting and said, "You must be Simon!" in a very cheerful manner. I must admit, I'm not accustomed to being accosted, so was slightly taken aback. It turns out it was @losthaystacks who for some reason I thought had either a Northern Irish or Western Scottish accent. So it took a few moments for me to come round to anything civility and actually say hello. Later, after the talk, I also got to say hello to @ClareLissaman who was hosting in one of the venues, but who I had wholly failed to recognise due to her wearing a hat. Back to the 4-way talk – the conversation was very interesting and bore the hallmarks of its origins – a chat in a pub.
After this, the whole site geared up for the headline act: Sinead O Connor. I was not particularly fussed about seeing her, but I had been offered a lift back to the hotel, so after the injuries sustained earlier, I was going to stick around to listen to the set and avoid walking back in the dark. She was OK. One could have predicted that some of the language would be a bit fruity (though having listened to Nadia Bolz-Weber earlier, this would not have been the first time the air turned blue at Greenbelt). Some people had let their small children stay up to listen but quickly moved off after the first song referenced "pissing in your coffee". Even the next morning, I heard some small children talking about the swearing. Mid way through the set, I went off to grab myself a drink and ran into a few friends. But we all managed to get outside for 'Nothing Compares 2 U' which everyone joined in with. Sinead was clearly the most professional of the musicians we had, and in general the quality of the music on Sunday was better than that which we had on Saturday. But I had no urge to stick around and shout encore. I joined a steady stream of people who were filing away into the dark, but this time I remembered my torch, which helped to prevent me from turning my ankle on a divet.
So I got back to the hotel, looked at the weather forecast and got myself ready for a very soggy Monday.

People often ask me, "How were you able to have it all?" I am always stunned by the question because "all" means different things to everyone. "All" is society's definition of success. For many people, "all" means that you have had a successful career, family life, and community or social life, as defined by someone's standards of success. For example, in the work place promotion can be one of the cultural standards of success.
My answer to this question is "I have had a wonderful life and it has met all my success objectives." Early in my career I asked myself what success meant to me. I have always defined success as a great career, a long and good marriage, and raising my children to be self-sufficient adults. here were many other things I could have defined as successful but I knew I had to make choices in life. The choices I made had consequences. For my career to advance, I had to move from my initial location. My husband had a prosperous business that was not easily transferred. We started a long distance relationship. This was a difficult choice but if I hadn't moved, I never would have had the opportunity to achieve my career objectives. All choices have consequences. Knowing what you want out of life, understanding the consequences of your choices, and being okay with them is a foundational requirement for having what you want.
