Lawsuit Funding Could Save a Family Business
Bob took his wife, Renee, out for dinner and a horse-drawn carriage ride to celebrate her birthday. The same evening, a young man and his friend were celebrating a birthday at a local bar. These two separate celebrations resulted in a tragic accident when the young man decided to get behind the wheel of his 2006 Infinity G35. Traveling at an estimated speed of 100 mph, the drunk driver slammed into the back of the horse-drawn carriage killing Bob and seriously injuring Renee, another passenger, and the carriage driver.
Renee and her two sons have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the drunk driver and the drinking establishment that served him, but a settlement could take years. In the meantime, Renee and her sons have several financial problems. Renee suffered multiple broken bones and faced with mounting medical bills; she is still unable to walk. Her health insurance was unilaterally cancelled by the health insurance company less than two weeks before the accident. Her two sons are working to save the family business, where Renee was the bookkeeper, while caring for their mother. The carriage driver, who suffered a broken neck and psychological trauma, also has no health insurance and faces extensive medical bills.
When people are unable to work due to personal injuries or suffering financially due to the loss of the bread-winner, it can become a huge financial burden on them. Not only do the regular monthly bills – mortgage, car payments – begin to pile up, but there are the additional expenses associated with the accident such as medical expenses and funeral expenses.
There are millions of people like Renee and the carriage driver without health insurance, unable to get the medical care they deserve for serious and debilitating injuries. For those, like Renee, who have filed a claim, lawsuit funding may help. Lawsuit funding is a cash advance against the future proceeds of a lawsuit. It exists primarily to help people with legitimate claims avoid settling too soon, for too little. The uninsured can have access to quality health care and can recover from their injuries quickly and return to work sooner, reducing the financial impact. Additionally, lawsuit funding can help the plaintiff win a more equitable settlement.
Unlike a traditional loan, lawsuit funding requires no upfront fees, no monthly payments, no credit checks, no employment verifications, and no repayment until the case is settled. Best of all, if the plaintiff loses the case, the lawsuit cash advance is waived in its entirety. If you are an innocent victim with a pending lawsuit struggling to make ends meet financially, contact Lawsuit Financial. We offer a free, no obligation consultation and a simple, one-page application.

Can you help our foodbanks?
On Friday I visited the Food Stop Foodbank run by Action Homeless and met the amazing staff and volunteers that work there.
We all hope that we'll never need to visit a foodbank, but sometimes people can find themselves in a desperate situation. I am thankful to all the staff and volunteers who ensure people who find themselves without enough money to buy food, do not go hungry.
They told me they particularly need cooking oil, eggs, UHT milk, fruit & veg. If you can help one of our cities foodbanks, then please do get in touch with them.

On Bike: The very best time for Ladakh bike trip is in between months of June to September. These months permit the riders to enjoy the very best of Ladakh as far as they like their bike trip to Lahaul & Spiti. However, the Majority of the riders like to kickstart their summers with bike tour as Ladakh presents magical panoramas which can be treasured around during summers except monsoon due to heavy rainfall, roads are blocked hence it is advised not to start bike trip during winters.
By Road: June to September is best time to hit the road for Ladakh. From June, both highways are open for normal traffic. It is recommended not to go to road trip after September as Leh- Srinagar Highway and Manali- Leh Highway are closed due to heavy snowfall after October. Srinagar — Leh Highway and Manali — Leh Highway gets overly insecure to pass through because of snowfall. Therefore, the only alternative to go to Leh Ladakh in winters, would be to fly to Leh from Delhi.
By Air: Leh can be visited throughout the year by air. When both the highways closed during October due to heavy snowfall, directly fly to Leh is the only option to travel to Leh – Ladakh.

My Best Friend
"People, let me tell you 'bout my best friend."
Yesterday I visited with him briefly and it brought back a lot of memories.
I met my friend, Pat Wheaton, my freshman year of college in August of 1984. He was a sophomore, a year ahead of me in school. I was away from home for the first time and didn't know anyone. Pat lived across the hall from me in F section, 2nd floor, of Fitzpatrick Hall at Lewis University. I would see him in the bathroom in the morning shaving with a towel around his waist. It was a funny sight. It wasn't long before we were chatting and getting to know one another.
Pat liked to watch Late Night with David Letterman. He would have to be back in his room when it started each weeknight so he could catch Dave's monologue, Top Ten list, and the man under the seats bit with Chris Elliott. It was good stuff, and I came to enjoy watching it with my new friend, Pat.
I had a tough freshman year being away from home for the first extended time in my life, falling for a girl, feeling heartache at losing her, and dealing with some anxiety and depression as a result. I got through it largely due to my new friend Pat.
I really appreciated how close a friend Pat was when I would find him waiting for me outside my classroom door when some of my classes let out. I was never alone long. Pat would be waiting for me after classes to get a meal or play some basketball or lift weights in the gym. He made me feel not so alone.
Pat was like me in many ways. We both went to private Catholic grade and high schools. We both had brothers. We both liked sports and weight lifting. We were both handsome young men. We were both independent minded.
Neither of us liked conformity. We would see fraternity and sorority pledging activities and had disdain for the process. We thought if you had to participate in such foolish acts to make friends, 'were they really your friends?' So Pat and I started our own fraternity of two and called it Lambda Nu Delta Lambda. It was the Greek letters for the initials of Late Night with David Letterman. It formed a brotherhood bond that had no hazing or pledging, just the friendship, brotherhood and fun.
Pat was the kind of friend who would take a bullet for you…and he did for me. My freshman year I played TAG – The Assassination Game – based on a current movie at the time of the same name, where the participants all got the name of another random participant and were challenged to shoot their target with a rubber dart gun before they themselves got shot by their assassin's dart gun and knocked out of the game. I was one of the two last survivors. It was either my would-be assassin or me. One night I went to the snack bar with Pat and remember it clearly as it seemed to play out in slow motion. I turned and looked and saw my assassin coming at me pulling out his dart gun to 'kill' me. I instantly reached for my dart gun in my jacket to shoot him first, but there wasn't time. He had seen me first and had the jump on me by a split second. I reflexively stepped behind my friend Pat as the dart was fired my way hitting Pat, instead of me, and allowing me the chance to reach around Pat and fire my dart gun at the other assassin, hitting him with the dart, and winning me the TAG game as last surviving assassin. I felt like James Bond. But I would have been killed if not for Pat who took the dart/bullet meant for me. No greater love is there than to lay down your life for a friend. Pat did that for me, whether he even knew what was happening at that moment or not. He was more than a protective human shield to me. He was my friend. Now my best friend.
Back at home, Pat lived in a nearby hometown, so we could still get together over the summers. We would go to The Stairs for a workout, go to the beach or an outdoor summer concert, and in later years go out to bars together. Pat was a great wing man.
Our friendship grew over time, and we became better known as Ed and Pat….or Pat and Ed. I imagine it seemed to some that we were inseparable. Where one was, the other very frequently was. If I was alone, people would ask, "Where's Pat?" I imagine he heard "Where's Ed?" a lot too when he was alone. Pat was a good friend to have around.
My sophomore year we enjoyed playing basketball together and watching the Lewis University Flyers men's basketball team. The four Niego brothers on the team were a college history first and we collaborated to write the lyrics for the song College for Playin' together. It was a WLRA college radio station hit and we were so proud of ourselves and reveled in the celebrity of it.
There was a large boulder in the center of the Lewis campus better known as "The Rock". Fraternities and sororities would take turns painting The Rock their organizational colors under cover of darkness to claim it as their territory. We would wake up and find the rock a different color every couple of days. Pat and I, not to be outdone by the other fraternities, set out with our fraternity of two to paint that rock ourselves. We got a bucket of paint and set our alarms for the middle of the night, and went about our mission impossible task and poured out the bucket of paint on the rock in the dark in the middle of the night. The next morning, we got up all proud of ourselves for what we had done, only to find that when we looked at the rock that it was the same color as it had been the prior day with no trace of our paint on it. We wondered if we had dreamt of our mission in the night. But the other fraternity had gotten up after us and had their pledges wash off the paint we had put on the rock to restore the rock to the prior color. Determine, Pat and I set out on another mission, this time with two cans of spray paint – we chose red and green because it was just before Christmas break. We set our alarms, accomplished our mission in the night, then gloated the next day as The Rock, now Jingle Bell Rock as we called it, shined Christmas colorfully half red and half green in the light of wintry day. Pat and I spent the day gloatingly dropping puns with words like rock, stone, and boulder to our friends and laughing as we were feeling 'boulder' than ever.
Pat's birthday is March 16th (no wonder how Patrick got his name being born on St. Patrick's Day Eve) and one year his senior year he tried drinking a shot of liquor every hour of the day, and by the evening he was drunk. I don't think he quite made his goal by the end of the evening but it looked like he was having fun trying. Facts kind of blur here, as I was drinking a bit too, but as I recall it was after Mardi Gras and we had these green eye masks and Pat and I wore them around like green masked crusaders….like two Lone Rangers, Batman and Robin, or the Green Hornet and Kato. We'd put our fists on our hips, puff out our chests in some heroic pose and start speaking in our best super hero voices while people who encountered us were obviously impressed (or possibly just amused by the two silly drunks at their door).
I was a resident assistant in the dormitories, and Pat was a resident on my floor. One night I was doing rounds after visitation hours and heard girl voice in a guy's room which was prohibited. My co-worker resident assistant and I knocked on the door intending to write up the occupants in the room for a visitation hour violation. When the door was opened I was surprised and disappointed to find Pat in another friend's room with two girls. We wrote them up for disciplinary proceedings, and I wondered sadly if that might adversely effect our friendship. The next day Pat came into the class we had together and sat down next to me like nothing had ever happened. When I asked him about what had happened the night before he wasn't mad at me and accepted full responsibility for the incident and understood that I was just doing my job. I felt relieved. Our friendship didn't miss a beat over the incident, and in fact strengthened in my mind as I felt the presence of a true 'no matter what' friend.
At the end of Pat's senior year, he came back from the campus bar one night while I was on duty in the dormitory and he said that he thought he had met 'The One'. I knew what that meant. I soon met the girl, Lisa, the next morning as I recall, saw how he could be so smitten, and I sensed things were never the same between us after that. I began feeling like a third wheel when I was around the new couple. They became inseparable and 'Ed and Pat'/'Pat and Ed' became a thing of the past while Pat and Lisa became the new thing for Pat.
I was alone again. But I had grown in maturity, confidence, wisdom, and friendship, and became ok with that. I was happy for my friend who had found the love of his life.
Pat and Lisa were married soon after graduation and I was the best man at their wedding. Pat and Lisa now have a lovely daughter together and she is their joy and purpose in life.
Half my lifetime later, on yesterday's beautiful Spring Saturday, as I met with my friend Pat again, so many years later, we connected like we had long ago and it seemed like we just picked up our friendship and brotherhood bond from where it last left off long ago. That is what it is like when you have a true friend. And I felt so thankful for the gift of his friendship. Still.

Poems September 1991
A single chime of jade across the waters
as along this rocky shore the moment expands
and somewhere within it is hidden a dwelling apart
to which only the absolute ones make good their escape.
The Way seems not to exist (so the master taught)
and yet it is there—and springtime returns once more,
ageless and unreclaimed, to the inner lands.
What purity! The peach trees are in blossom,
birds chirp and stir, and there by the narrow stream
two white-robed figures wait to greet my crossing …
Shall I not make my move at last, and join them?
—Frederick Morgan

Hello Guys
Today's teaser is a linear drum fill with multiple sticking options.
Remember changing the sticking of any fill will affect two things:
- The difficulty – it can make it easier or more difficult.
- Creativity – different stickings can open up more orchestration possibilities
- Once you've mastered this fill experiment with different sticking options. What is the easiest way to orchestrate this pattern?
- Try re-ordering the pattern. e.g. starting from 2+ (see Ex 2a)
Have you got any other suggestions as to how this idea can be used? Got any teasers of your own you'd like to share? Be sure to let us know in the comments section.
Have Fun!

The V-Day posts continue: I remember something that I was told many, many years ago and decided to write about it. That something was told to me and a room full of hopeful would-be business owners at a SCORE meeting: "You're going to be married to your business. This is likely going to put a strain on your relationship."
That was 2009. Two years before I'd flatline after finishing my master's thesis with my response being joining Himalaya Studios as an owner and not an employee, six before the first iteration of Sonic Toad came about. I was actually attending that meeting trying to grow my tax practice because I just finished my bachelors in accounting riding the crest of the 2008 shit tsunami, could not land a job to save my life, and decided that my own practice was more appealing than making sacrifices I didn't feel were worth it for someone else's firm. That if I was going to have no life January-April, I'd rather work 100 hours a week for me than 80 for someone else.
Fast-forward many years later and I'm reiterating this same piece of advice at the business courses I teach at Playcrafting but with a heaping helping of guilt doing so.
Why? Let me introduce you to a super underrated crossover/NYHC band, The Crumbsuckers. It's time for some NYHC wisdom because I just came to a staggering realization that I've barely spoken about my roots and culture on this blog yet:
Tell me "get a job"
Work until you're dead!
These are the ideas they drill in your head!
Let's face it. A lot of people want their own businesses precisely because they're tired of busting their asses for someone else just to get laid off, fired for a really dumb reason, suddenly competing in this race to the bottom for a fraction of what our credentials are really worth, and the stress of all the above. If you're here, chances are you too are tired of this "live to work" mentality the Crumbsuckers outlined.
While I'm frankly annoyed at the presumption that everyone has a relationship/marriage, when it comes to relationships, stressful jobs cause massive strains on them: no time for your spouse and/or kids, and a dictatorship of a work environment will just make you really insufferable to be around because of the misery you're forced to dwell in. So it's no surprise that a lot of people look to entrepreneurship because you want more time with your partner, more work-life balance. It's just that...getting there is really hard. Especially since the whiz kids who go from $0 to millions in less than a year are more newsworthy than the solopreneur who takes several years to go from $0 to $8K to $200K then potentially back to $0, which intensifies feeling like a failure.
Because shit happens. It hits the fan and splatters like so much verbal diarrhea because your spouse may not be supportive of you whatsoever or it can even lead to divorce papers being in your future. Work-life balance guru Marie Forleo talks all about this in one of her videos, "Is Your Business a Homewrecker?"
So I felt bad for reiterating that piece of advice given to me in 2009, feeling like I espoused the live to work mentality. But let's face it: starting a business is hard fucking work. You WILL likely have to devote a lot more time to it than a job, and phoning it in isn't an option. You may need something like flex work options to tide you over for spells at a time, or transitioning to part-time work instead of quitting a full-time job, and many people will look at you like you have three heads when you say you're starting a business.
Most people don't like risk, and want to stick with being employment-minded. They can be totally fine people but will just never understand why you're doing this: even if your partner says that they support your decision and agree to be both emotionally and financially available, they can still change their mind down the road once it's been too many occasions where you couldn't pass up an opportunity, you're not sleeping at the same time anymore and it's putting a damper on your sex life, or you simply have less to talk about because once again, part of this whole stupid American work culture is that work takes up sooooo much of your time and psyche: come on, how many total strangers bond over complaining about a horrible boss?
Their fears and reservations aren't totally unfounded, either. If we go past the household names who have more money than they could possibly know what to do with, many other entrepreneurs hae risked it all and put their families through it. Your partner who works a corporate job may not like the possibility of losing their savings and having the electricity in a 400-square-foot apartment shut off, especially if the marriage winds up dissolving faster than a AAA studio's shell company.
This post has been brought to you by WebEx, a fine Cisco product I've used in various freelance gigs, because Sonic Toad has no AAA partners.
Then there's the little microaggressions: being expected to do all the cooking, cleaning, and other housework "because you're home", when just because we're home doesn't mean we're available. Reminding you about paying bills by trying to make you feel like shit if you are bringing in little or no money. If your partner is REALLY hard-nosed about this, those microaggressions can pile up into something a lot bigger and uglier.
If you're lucky to have a good partner, you won't deal with these shitty aspects as much even if they're resentful of not being able to spend a lot of time with you during busy times. While I've spent most of my adult life voluntarily single, I can't say I had a marriage or long-term relationship end over my choices with entrepreneurship. But I have had men I've dated really not understand it. The most serious involvement I had in recent years, it took a while for him to get that I don't go to an office just because I own a company and no one forces me to go to the events I attend. Before him, I did date a very insecure guy who was resentful of how much time I was spending on my business and subsequently, talking with my business partner more than my own family.
So yeah, I'd prefer to date another entrepreneurial sort. I wouldn't snub a guy who doesn't sign his own paychecks, after all personalities and interests matter to me more than how they make money. I mean, if he doesn't get it when I start busting out laughing on the subway because I see some ambulance chaser lawyer ad where the guy in the middle looks just like Paul Bearer, it's probably not going to work out. But stupid American work culture aside with the "live to work" mentality, people who are really in the entrepreneurial mindset also tend to be more interested in personal development than employment-minded types. It's too easy to get boxed in with the latter. I've learned so damn much in the past 5 years that I embarked on the indie developer path, then doubling down with two businesses because I grew tired of the "have a job while you make the game" paradigm, and much of that learning didn't come from trying to get then keep a job.
But let's take friendships, which are often far more intimate than a lot of relationships-- especially for types who don't like to date for the sake of dating-- in my experience, starting your own business or following that dream people told you was stupid or unattainable is often a good way to figure out who your real friends are.
If we liken a partner to a friendship gone wrong: are you staying out of fear that you won't find someone else? Or, if they are being so disagreeable about your choice and following your passion is it a sign it's time to move on to a partner who gets you, and inspires you in a way that someone who lives a more traditional life with traditional employment could not?
Having a lot invested in a relationship or friendship can make you reluctant to end it. But if there's bubbling resentment because you're spending a lot of time with a business partner or colleague or doing the 20 million other things that need to be done in having a business, is it that resentment something you can work out or is it a dealbreaker?
Rest assured, you're not alone if your relationship has been strained from starting a business. I'm not saying you should start filing divorce papers just because you're having arguments about time or money. But if you have more passion for what you do instead of who you're with, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Even if there's nothing seemingly wrong with your partner or relationship, you could find yourself growing apart from a partner. This Wealthy Single Mommy reader wrote in with a really thought-provoking question about whether it was wrong to want a divorce because these entrepeneurial guys she was meeting invigorated her more than her employment-minded husband.
After all, most people don't like risk. We're told that we have to get a job, not make our own income; to have a relationship or marriage instead of being single or sleeping around. To stay in just one place, not be location-independent.
Your personal relationships WILL affect your business and how you're faring in it, because a killjoy who makes you feel like shit for struggling will murder your confidence and thus ability to really crush it. Someone who's perpetually stuck in gear and doesn't want to get out out of fear can also hold you back.
So...follow your heart, dude. Are you staying with that person because you love them and feel that they could endure THE WORST with you, or are you staying out of fear of being "alone"?

Samuel Bowles is research professor at the Santa Fe Institute where he heads the Behavioral Sciences Program. He taught economics at Harvard University from 1965 to 1973 and since then at the University of Massachusetts, where he is now emeritus professor, and at the University of Siena from 2002 to 2010 where he continues to occasionally teach.
Bowles' current research includes theoretical and empirical studies of political hierarchy and wealth inequality and their evolution over time. His studies on cultural and genetic evolution have challenged the conventional economic assumption that people are motivated entirely by self-interest. Recent papers have also explored how organizations, communities, and nations could be better governed knowing that altruistic and ethical motives are common in most populations.
His scholarly papers have appeared in Science, American Economic Review, Journal of Political Economy, and the Economic Journal, among others.
His most recent book is The Moral Economy: Why good laws are no substitute for good citizens (Yale University Press, 2016). Other recent books include A Cooperative Species: Human reciprocity and its evolution (with Herbert Gintis, Princeton University Press, 2011), The new economics of inequality and redistribution (Cambridge University Press, 2012), and Microeconomics: Behavior, Institutions and Evolution (Princeton University Press, 2004). He is currently working on Equality's Moment: The origins and future of economic disparity and political hierarchy.
He has also served as an economic advisor to the governments of Cuba, South Africa, and Greece, U.S presidential candidates Robert F. Kennedy and Jesse Jackson, the Legislature of the State of New Mexico, the Congress of South African Trade Unions, and South African President Nelson Mandela.
With CORE (Curriculum Open-access Resources for Economics), an international collaboration of economists, he is currently developing a new curriculum for undergraduate economics.
Department of Economics Spring 2018 Seminar Series
Bowles will give a teaching seminar titled "A post-Walrasian introduction to Economics: teaching CORE" at 12:30 in Clark C103. He will also give a research seminar on "The origins and future of economic inequality" at 3:30 in BSB 131.

2015-05-26 21:02:49
I recently celebrated my 6 year anniversary as a triathlete by going back to where it all began – The Lavaman Triathlon in Hawaii. Six years later, I still can't do a flip turn. But I've come a long way from where I was. Specifically, crying on the pool deck before Lavaman a few years back.
Those tears were well founded though. Ten days before my Lavaman race, a lifeguard at the pool decided it was an appropriate time to point out that one of my arms was entering the water too soon, while the other was extending too far, making my freestyle more like corkscrew style. She probably had no idea that I had a race in the very near future and intended to be helpful. But all she did was send me into a tail spin.
"I swim like Nemo! How am I going to fix that in TEN DAYS?!" But I'd come this far. So just like Nemo, I just kept swimming. After all, my sloppy stroke had been sufficient for other triathlons, so I knew I could survive the 0.9 mile swim just fine.
Well, that Lavaman swim ended up being the hardest of my triathlon career. A storm had blown through the night before leaving the ocean murky and choppy. But I swam the whole thing without a wetsuit and didn't even have to be rescued by a kayaker. Maybe my freestyle was better than I thought! Now, I'm not saying my form doesn't need some work if I want to get faster. But I do think some of us get hung up on the myth that form is everything. I'd kindly like to bust that and a few other myths today.
Myth 1 – You have to do flip turns.
I finished Ironman Lake Placid three times, and in all my training I did exactly ZERO flip turns! When I swam competitively in high school, flip turns were mandatory. With my days of swim meets behind me, so are my days of getting water up my nose and ungracefully missing the wall because I flipped too soon. I'm more likely to nail that hand stand in hot yoga class than do a flip turn in the pool (but don't hold your breath for either)!
The reality is that there are no walls in a triathlon and therefore no flip turns. Sure they can be an efficient way to keep your flow in the pool, but I can think of a lot of other things to invest your energy in to learn efficiency…like perfecting bi-lateral breathing.
Myth 2 – If you don't practice swimming in open water, you'll be a mess on race day.
Not entirely true. I did a total of TWO open water swims before my first triathlon in 2009. And I didn't drown. I wasn't even nervous because I was certain that I could swim for about one mile straight (without stopping to gasp for air) simply because I'd practiced that plenty in the pool. I was confident that I would stay on course instead of swimming out to sea, because I'd practiced sighting in the pool. A lot!
Sure there were waves when I swam in the ocean, and I wasn't used to that. But I practiced telling myself "Waves are just like hills in running, so climb these water hills and keep going!"
Open water swimming is fantastic, but nothing replaces the confidence that comes from good physical and mental training!
Myth 3 – You shouldn't train with music since you won't have it on race day.
You won't have a race day at all if you never do those swim workouts because you find the pool so boring! If music motivates you to get in the water, then embrace your tunes. No, you usually can't wear an iPod on race day, but I've found that those songs I train to are still stuck in my head during the race and help me a ton with pacing.
I once swam the 2.4 miles of Ironman with Zac Brown Band's "Chicken Fry" going through my head after listening to it in the pool a gazillion times. It was the fastest of my IM swims so far.
Myth 4 – You have to own a wetsuit.
I didn't sport a wetsuit in my first few Lavaman's because I didn't own one. In fact, I didn't even realize wetsuits were something triathletes wore!
Now that I have a wetsuit, I confess that the buoyancy minimizes kicking, so your legs are fresh for the bike. Plus, it's great for keeping warm. After several swims in the Atlantic Ocean that were absolutely freezing, I'm grateful to have a wetsuit! But I'm also thankful that I swam those first few races sans wetsuit because now I'm convinced that I don't NEED a wetsuit. If I have to, I can stay afloat without one, even on the choppiest Lavaman swim in the Pacific.
Myth 5 – If you have awful form in the pool, you might as well get out of the water.
"It's better than reinforcing bad habits by finishing the workout with poor form. Don't waste your time!"
In addition to being told I swim like Nemo, I have also heard the above "advice." But no matter how horrendous your swim form, no workout is a waste of time if it builds self-confidence. Confidence from experience can take you to amazing places!
It's given me the courage to be a guest at an outrigger canoe club's practice, where my lack of paddling skills were obvious. But if that outrigger capsized in the deep blue, I know I would be just fine. In fact, when the paddlers took a break miles from shore for a little dip in the ocean, I jumped right in with them!
It's given me the courage to cliff jump off lava-rock ledges into the waves below and swim with a group across Kealakekua Bay and back. Over the course of 2.4 miles, we encountered about a hundred dolphins, a sea turtle and a manta ray, none of which cared about my arm overreaching or how fast I swam to the Captain Cook monument.
I swim because it opens doors for me to have some fantastic adventures and because it calms me, while challenging me…like my yoga class. I don't quit going to hot yoga just because my form is typically awful. I persevere in these practices for more than a win. Much like a classic soul surfer, I keep swimming to unplug and recharge my soul.
I swim because the perseverance it teaches me is more important than being the first out of the water in a race. I swim because a sloppy stroke is better than staying at home and sitting on the couch instead. It's more important that I am actually getting exercise and strengthening my heart, lungs, and muscles.
Truth -You don't have to own a wetsuit, do flip turns, or quit this swimming thing because your form is not admired by all. Form and being fast isn't everything. So take that sloppy swim and go OWN that pool lane today! Your body, heart, and soul will thank you.

Behind its catalogue of exceptional wines is a continuous commitment to quality vineyard management, sound ecological practices, and unparalleled geographic advantages of its unique vineyard sites.
With vineyards in three Margaret River sub-regions -Yallingup, Wilyabrup, and Karridale, Clairault and Streicker Wines have the capacity to make the most of Margaret River's diverse growing conditions.
The cooler climate and longer growing season at the Bridgeland Block, near Rosa Glen, produces some of the region's best aromatic whites and is home to the trophy winning cold-climate Streicker Syrah.
In Wilyabrup, the Ironstone Block of old vines produces outstanding single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay while further to the North, the original Clairault Vineyards – with vines planted as early as 1976 – add other components of varietal and soil conditions choices to this winery's portfolio.

With graduation right around the corner, many anxious seniors are wondering what will happen after May 5. Where to live, if they will have a job, and how to leave Harding behind. For many students, graduation means going home. For some, home is on the other side of the world.
2015 alumnus Tingyu Liu said that, while he was excited to graduate, it was difficult to move home to China and leave Harding.
"I was having a hard time leaving," Liu said. "I walked around campus and took pictures. I went to the student center, the caf and every restaurant I liked in Searcy."
Life after college can be difficult, but also provide opportunities for growth, according to Liu.
"There is an old Chinese saying, 'It is when you are using what you learned from books that you wish you had read more books than you have,'" Liu said. "I would suggest thinking over what your goal is and then make plans to go after it."
Mariana Lopez, a 2013 graphic design graduate from Mexico City, said making the transition from Harding to home can be scary, but to remember that God is always present.
"It was hard to realize that my Harding experience was over. It was hard to figure out what was coming next," Lopez said. "I felt I was stuck in the past, and I was so anxious about the future that I couldn't focus on the today. But after a couple of months I embraced the present, I prayed every day for motivation and remembered that God answers at the right time and at the right moment."
Keeping up with friends after college is not easy, especially from far away, but Lopez said social media helps keep everyone connected.
"It hasn't been hard to keep up with my friends because social media helps a lot to connect with them at anytime and anywhere," Lopez said. "I've even visited some friends in their home country. It's great to catch up in person (rather) than just through the screen of your phone. I feel friendships at Harding are truly special because of the bonds and memories you create while being a student."
Lopez also offered a bit of advice to those getting ready to graduate.
"One — enjoy every day. Everyone who graduated will tell you that, but it's true," Lopez said. "And two — plan your goodbyes. Graduation day is (going to) be a crazy day. Make a list of the people who you'd like to thank."

This is a translation of a fatwa by the Permanent Committee which was comprised of the following scholars: Shaikh Abdul Aziz aalush Shaikh (the current Grand Mufti), Shaikh Saalih Fawzaan, Shaikh Ghudyaan (who passed away recently) and Shaikh Bakr Aboo Zaid. The fatwa is on the website www.alifta.com (on the Arabic site – it hasn't been translated onto the English part of that website yet). This fatwa was also posted on http://www.albaidha.net/vb/index.php
http://www.albaidha.net/vb/showthread.php?t=5923 (it's about half-way down the page)
"Indeed the Believing women in the beginning of Islam reached the highest level of purity, chastity, shyness, and modesty because of the blessing of Imaan in Allah and His Messenger and following the Qur'an and Sunnah. And the women in that time would wear concealing clothes and it is not know from them that they exposed themselves in the gatherings of some of them or in the presence of their mahrams. And the women of this ummah traversed this correct sunnah – and all the praise is due to Allah – generation after generation until recent times when there entered upon many of the women what entered upon them from corruption in dressing and manners, this being due to numerous causes and this is not the topic to go into them.
"And with regards to the majority of the fatwas that are found by the Permanent Committee about the limits of what a woman can see of another woman and what is obligatory for her from clothing (in front of other women), then the Permanent Committee clarified to all the Muslim women: that it is obligatory for the woman to adorn herself with the good manners of shyness which the Prophet (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) mentioned was a branch from the branches of Iman. And the shyness that has been commanded in the legislation and what is customary is her covering and modesty and adorning herself with good manners that distance her from situations of fitnah and doubtful situations.
"And indeed the Qur'an clearly indicates that the woman doesn't show to another woman except what she shows to her mahrams from what (the things that) she normally uncovers in her house or at work, as Allah, The Most High, said (translated):
'and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like palms of hands or one eye or both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer dress like veil, gloves, head-cover, apron, etc.), and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms, etc.) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husband's sons, their brothers or their brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islâm)…' 24:31
"And this is the text of theQur'an and this is what the Sunnah indicates. So it is the path that the wives of the Messenger (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) and the Sahabiyyat were upon and those who followed them exactly (in beliefs, statements, and actions) from the women of this ummah until this time of ours. And what is normally taken off for those mentioned in the noble verse (24:31) is: what is apparent from the woman normally in the house or the workplace (among other women)and what's difficult to avoid uncovering like the head, the hands, the neck, and the feet.
"As for expanding the uncovering to something in addition to that, then there is no proof from the Qur'an or Sunnah indicating the permissibility of that. Also, it is the path to fitnah (trial/temptation) for the woman and subjecting the girls of her gender to fitnah through her – and this is found among them. There is also in this (uncovering body parts which should not be uncovered) a bad example that they set for other women. There is also in this the resembling of the shameless kaafir women and prostitutes in their way of dress. And it has been estahlished from the Prophet (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) that he said (translated): 'Whoever resembles a people, then he is from them' [collected by Imam Ahmad and Abu Dawood]…"

Contemplate on how to re-edit manga panels using a computer program.
Unlike the other re-edits that I've posted before, I tried to keep a few things (such as the characters and context) consistent. The only thing that I've altered this time round is the dialogue. It's within the context from which I took the manga from, which for those who don't read the manga/aren't familiar with the anime won't necessarily understand...However, I wanted to try seeing how I could alter the dialogue without having to remove it all out of context.
Manga re-edit from Akatsuki no Yona. ^_^
As always, read from top to bottom, right to left.

Horticultural Garden in Tamba Kunda, The Gambia
Initiative set up by Penny Appeal brings hope and sustainability to rural town in The Gambia
The Gambia used to rely heavily on the export of groundnuts, especially peanuts - as the cornerstone of its rural economy, in recent years the industry has declined rapidly, leaving many agricultural labourers with little work and few means of supporting their livelihoods. This was the case in Tamba Kunda, a rural town in the south of the country, close to the border with Senegal.
Thanks to the help of Penny Appeal, the denizens of Tamba Kunda - especially farmers and agricultural labourers - now have a sustainable place to grow crops, and a way to secure their livelihoods with their horticultural garden, an initiative set-up and subsequently supported by Penny Appeal through the Feed our World programme.
One such beneficiary of the initiative is Ousman Gibba, a farmer who works a plot of land within the garden. He spends his time maintaining the ground, removing weeds and overseeing the growth of his crops from planting right through to harvest.
He describes the boon the garden has brought him, and his fellow townsfolk, "Since we've had the garden we have all sorts of foods and a healthy diet, and we don't have to get them from town - now the people in town want to buy from us! We also get money from selling the crops. We're very happy thanks to the garden."
Another farmer who uses the garden, as part of a mother and daughter team is Awn Gibba, her daughter, Mariatou helps her maintain her plot of land. They grow mint in this area, which is particularly sought after in local markets as a delicious flavouring for traditional Gambian dishes. She explained how the money she earns from her crops helps to send her children to school, "I earn money by selling the things I grow in garden, which means I can now afford to send my children to school. I can even afford to give them lunch money and some pocket money!"
The garden enjoys the use of three different types of wells to ensure sustainability and the assurance of water in all seasons; this means that the farmer's crops are always nourished. Within the garden there is a 2 metre well, a 35 metre well and a more sophisticated solar well, which can reach water much deeper in the ground. Even in the difficult dry season, crops are always irrigated.
As the garden is a particularly important asset to the local community, it has a management committee. The committee oversees any important decisions that are taken regarding the garden's growth, its maintenance and its overall sustainability. As part of this, everyone who owns a plot of land in the garden pays a 10% subsidy from their income to keep the garden well maintained, which ensures that if anything needs repairing, the funds are always available. One of the most popular decisions the committee made was to plant lemon trees around the garden, to both mark the border and to harvest the fruit, which is shared between all the farmers here.

He also endeared himself to Cleveland fans by flattening Wizards guard DeShawn Stevenson on a drive in the first half. Stevenson has been a pest to the Cavs, engaging in a war of words with James in the playoffs two years ago.
"It hurt real bad, but that's part of basketball," Stevenson said of O'Neal's takedown. "He apologized at halftime, so it's all right."
The Cavs have been using the 7-foot-1 O'Neal and his 7-foot-3 backup, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, together with mixed results. But the pair are getting more comfortable and confident with every second they spend on the floor and have the potential to be a matchup nightmare for any team.
O'Neal alone is enough to deal with - even at age 37. He wasn't surprised the Wizards tried to guard him one on one, and he understands why.
"It's an age thing. I don't really take it personal," he said. "I just have to let them know I'm still here and have to be reckoned with. I understand I'm not 27 or 19."
Cleveland only led 78-73 after three, but the Cavs pushed their lead to 94-79 by making four 3s as James rested. He only played four minutes in the fourth.
Butler, back after missing one game with a bruised left knee, scored 17 in the first half but he and his teammates cooled off after halftime. Washington shot just 33 percent over the final three quarters.

There's an interesting (and short) article in Metro about "The art of the six-pack." And I quote:
?The craft beer industry is a very creative industry,? explains Matt Polacheck, Art Director at Brooklyn-based Shmaltz Brewing, whose Coney Island Craft Lagers line features colorful, sideshow poster-inspired labels. ?The artful labels tie in to the whole culture of craft beer ? it?s about creating new, interesting beers ? and so to go along with those beers, we?ve made the experience of the bottle as interesting as what?s inside.?
Craft beer labels do tend towards the artsy side of things. New Belgium has been using watercolors from the founders' neighbor for its beers since the beginning. Flying Dog takes label art to a whole new level with their Ralph Steadman creations. One of my favorite recent examples of this is Deschutes The Dissident:
Now that is a good-looking label. Simple, retro, powerful. It reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. Personally, I think the whole "label as art" phenomenon among craft breweries is a function of two things:
- Craft breweries are small and quirky. It's the small, quirky companies that have the courage and opportunity to play around with things like labels. Budweiser is catering to too many people to get too creative, but Coney Island Craft Lagers has a very specific (and accepting) demographic. Plus, the people behind craft breweries, ourselves included, generally want to express themselves. We're a bunch of white collar guys trying to enjoy life, so our labels reflect that.
- There are a ton of craft breweries and you have to stand out. Have you been to the package store lately? At last count there were over 1400 craft breweries in the U.S. Hop City carries over 1200 different beers. With so many choices, it makes sense to make your labels pop, and art is one of the best ways to do this.
Artsy labels are obviously no substitute for great beer, but the label may be the thing that sets a beer apart on the shelf and gets someone to try it. Once that someone has purchased a six-pack, it's up to the beer to retain that consumer.

Let's talk about armor--American armor. All American armor is named after famous generals, such as Stuart, Lee, Sherman, Pershing, Chaffee, Sheridan, Abrams, and Walker. These generals' names cover a single series of armor.
Then we have the Patton. What's interesting about the Patton is that there are four series of armor named after George S. Patton: the M-46, M-47, M-48, and M-60. In the final development of each of these armor vehicles, none of them look alike, but they all started from the same mold--the M-26 Pershing. The M-26 came out close to the end of WWII as a counter to the German Tiger and Panther tanks. With the war ended, the M-26 Pershing was put on the sidelines.
Soon after WWII the cold war started. The Russians were massing, and we needed a better tank. Modifications were made to a number of M-26s: Different power trains and fire control systems were added, along with a baffle to the 90mm gun. The new M-46 Patton tank was born. While this helped upgrade American armor, it still was not good enough. When the North Koreans invaded the South using Russian-built T-34s and T-85s, there was nothing to stop them. Shermans and Chaffees were sent in as a stop gap measure but were ineffective. They finally brought in theheavy armor, which put a stop to North Korea's Russian-built tanks.
Most of the armor engagements during the war were busting up road blocks or destroying bunkers, but the next upgrades were being planned. They decided to mate a turret from the "experimental" medium T-42 tank and put it on a proven M-46 chassis, creating the M-47. As with any new design, problems occurred. For instance, the new range finder didn't work. These kinds of problems were quickly fixed, and the M-47 came into service. The M-47 was never used bythe Americans in combat. It was sold to other NATO-aligned countries. France used them in the 1956 Suez invasion, Spain used them in the Spanish-Sahara war in 1974 and Iran used the M-47 against Iraq. Jordan, Ethiopia, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan also had the M-47, just to name a few.
As always, the M-47 was not good enough, and the Russians were developing their own armor force. With any new design, you combine the old with the new. In developing the next series of armor they decided to use the proven engine and transmission of the M-46 and M-47, and add a new wider and roomier turret. This new tank had many teething problems, so a new one-piece casted, boat-shaped hull was designed. The result was the M-48 Patton.
The M-48 is the most well-known Patton tank for its service in Vietnam. The M-48 was not originally scheduled to go to Vietnam. The higher-ups thought, in their great wisdom, that the terrain was not suited for heavy armor. When the Marines were deployed, they brought everything with them including their M-48s. There wasn't much enemy armor for the M-48 to go up against, so they were used mostly for convoy protection or busting up enemy fortifications.
There was one round of ammo that the M-48 used a lot, called the "Beehive round." It wasn't nice to the barrel but it did a job on the North Vietnamese and the Vietcong. It was a round filled with little arrow-shaped pieces of metal. When shot, it would spray metal in every direction like a shotgun. This round would shred jungle and anything else in its way.
The M-48 also saw a lot of action with the Israeli Army in their wars with the Arab nations. Eventually, this tank was upgraded with a new 105mm gun. After a new hull was designed and mated with a new turret, the M-60 Patton was born. The M-60 has seen much action in its history with the U.S. Army and the Israeli Army. It has proven itself many times and has become the ultimate Patton tank.

After work on my second Sunday evening in Japan (yes, I work on Sundays), I got invited by my coworkers to go drinking. Now apparently in Japan it is a pretty common thing to go out drinking with coworkers in order to socialize and create a stronger team of workers. So, not wanting to be left out, I decided to join and found myself in a tiny little Italian restaurant near my office.
There were quite a few of us, so when we needed to spread out, we kindly asked the young ladies at the next table if we could 'take over' their table. After they vacated their seats, I sat down to my first glass of wine of the evening. But considering their kindliness, my coworkers decided to send a bottle of wine over to the young fresh-out-of-university students. This started a loud discussion which resulted in the three ladies joining our table and soon I was surrounded by non-English speakers.
By this time, however, I was on my third or fourth glass of wine and was thoroughly keen to try and communicate with these Japanese women. Luckily it was easier than expected as, not only were a few of my coworkers fluent in Japanese, but when the topic of Disney was reached, the young women's faces lit up. We spent a good solid few hours (or so it seemed) avidly proclaiming which Disney movies we liked more…
はい、Lion King?
Of course all in my rudimentary Japanese as I am a true beginner to the language. But it looked like we were breaking down language barriers thanks to a little …I lie… a lot of wine, and a mixture of basic Japanese and basic English.
Soon enough our new friends were too intoxicated to stand so my coworkers set them off home and we shared a drink with the restaurant's staff (seeing as we were now the only people there). Feeling quite intoxicated myself, we all soon decided to call it a night. But with one problem: I had missed my last train home…
Thankfully, a… um… 'kindly' coworker was willing to let me crash on his couch. So I followed him and his housemate to the station and stumbled our way to his house, where I proceeded to pass out on a very tiny couch. I awoke without a hangover (thanks to my superpower of never having one), but felt a very uncomfortable crick in my neck and intense humidity washing over me – all the while still being in my work clothes.
Soon enough I was guided back to the train station by my colleague and climbed onto the first early afternoon train, only to discover that I had travelled in the opposite direction from my home. Meaning that I had a two hour train ride back to my cool, air conditioned bedroom. Needless to say, it was a long journey.
Basically, there is an important moral to this story: If you intend to go out at night, always (and I mean always) check the train schedule for your last train home. You don't want to be stuck somewhere far away from home (especially in the middle of a very humid summer). Luckily for me I had a nice enough coworker so I didn't have to stay at an infamous love hotel… But more on those later…
