|This is the first chapter of my next book. Let me know what you think.
Chapter One: ONE He saw her, through the second story window of the stately old colonial home, the window that he knew was her bedroom. It was the only light on in the house and his eyes were drawn to that open window like a fly would be drawn to a bug light. She was getting dressed. Tonight would be the night, he decided, his face twisted into a wicked smile. Tonight would be their night rather. She was alone - as she had been every Monday night - he knew this from all the nights prior that he had sat in the oil like shadows of his van, parked across the street from her house, just watching it. Watching her. For the last three weeks he had been stalking her, following her when she had gone to work, when she had gone shopping, to the beauty salon, everywhere she had gone in the last three weeks he had been with her and yet she was unaware of his looming presence. He had even talked to her a few times, their conversations had never been longer than a handful of words spoken out of common courtesy, but at the time that had been enough to satisfy his need of her. Them off handed words had calmed him, had pacified him temporarily. But tonight he needed more, tonight he needed not just to hear her beautiful voice utter words, but to hear it wail in mixed fear and pain. Tonight he needed to feel the warmth of her flesh against his own, needed to taste her tangy sweat, her blood. He needed to kill her. He was an addict, he couldn't control himself, he suffered from the same type of dire need a recovering alcoholic or druggie went through during the first few weeks of trying to live a life of sobriety. That voice talked to him. Just one more, one more won't hurt. And it was hard to ignore that voice when it was so damn enticing, so alluring. He had tried to control his need to kill, Lord how he had tried, he had even passed up two different opportunities to bring death to someone and relief to his intense craving. But now none of it really mattered, it counted for nothing, because he was about to relapse. He was about to kill again. This would be the absolute last time, that he swore to himself as he stepped out of his black Dodge and headed to the front door of the house, but then again he had sworn the exact same thing last time and the time before it. This time he meant it though. No more! He'd been doing it ever since the night of his twelfth birthday and the number of victims he had compiled since then was unbelievable. Not because it was hard to imagine a person killing so many people, but hard to believe that he hadn't been caught by the police yet. His victims were always women, his technique for killing them was never changed or varied in any way, he left the bodies in the same fashion every time and still the homicide detectives hadn't realized that they had a serial killer on their hands. Stupidity and incompetence was what he thought of it, he had expected to have been caught by now. No that was wrong. He had hoped and prayed to have been caught, he had even pictured himself walking out one day and finding himself surrounded by police cars, officers with pistols drawn ready to take him down or take him out. But that prayer hadn't been answered. He knew that the best way, maybe even the only way for him to stop killing was to be locked behind bars for the rest of his life. Then again he also knew death would do it too. Suicide would have ended it all, it would end his miserable existence on this damned planet, it would soothe the pain of being alone, and above all it would put an end to the killings. Yes it would fix everything, but he just couldn't bring it upon himself to slice his own wrists or pull the trigger of a pistol that was shoved into his own mouth. It was ironic, he could kill the innocent mercilessly, but he couldn't kill himself. He climbed the front steps and rang the bell, from inside he heard the ringing chimes and a voice.

Vancouver Fraser Port Responds to Community Concerns
The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority is aware that a public rally has been organized for this weekend by MP Jenny Kwan and community members in opposition to the proposed Centerm Expansion Project. The port authority respects the right of any group to voice concerns and opinions in a public way.
A permit application for the project has not yet been submitted to the port authority. A round of public pre-consultation, intended to get early community input to the project design and conducted by an independent consultant, concluded on February 12, 2016, and a summary report has been posted to the project website.
If a permit application is submitted for this project, the port authority will conduct a rigorous project and environmental review of technical studies that assess such things as noise, view impacts, air quality and other impacts of the proposed project, including effects on water circulation near CRAB Park at Portside in response to concerns raised by community members.
The project as proposed does not physically touch CRAB Park.
The proposed Centerm Expansion Project is part of the port authority's long-term strategy to ensure the port is ready to handle Canada's growing trade of goods in containers. Centerm is an existing container terminal operated by DP World, a global marine terminal and supply chain company.
Under the Canada Marine Act, Canada Port Authorities have been responsible for the administration, management and control of federal port lands and waters, including conducting environmental reviews for all projects and works, since 1998. Environmental reviews by federal authorities are completed as per the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act.
Information about the port authority's review process, timelines and guidelines for consultation are available on the port authority's website. Members of the public are encouraged to sign up to receive notices of all activities and new information on the Centerm project, and any other project of interest, through the port authority's website.

Today I'm partnering with the always classic Kate Spade to give you some gift ideas for the holidays!
These adorable striped and polka dot plates are so perfect – I can see them being great gifts for that party-planner/hostess friend we all have. A really fun idea would be to give the plates with some holiday desserts already on them, like cookies or cupcakes. They get the gift, AND a yummy treat!
One thing I love about this 'raise a glass tidbit plate set' is that they are actually melamine plastic, so no worries about breaking them (I may have a reputation in my household for being a plate destroyer…)
A scarf is one of those gifts that pretty much every girl loves. This would be a perfect gift for when you want to get something nice for someone, you're just not sure what. I love that this print can be worn in ANY season too, it's so versatile and 100% silk – you know Kate Spade, their quality is impeccable!
My pink polka dot 'spotlight flounce' dress and sparkly 'dani too' heels make a great holiday party outfit. I'm sort of in love with the sparkle – can I get away with wearing these heels to work?! What do we think?…
I love unique, special gifts and Kate Spade always comes through for me. They have that special touch that I love when gift giving… okay and receiving. (Hint hint anyone?)
What are you gifting this season?

My Big Plan
Tuesday, 23 January 2018
You know it's funny, typically the New Year starts and I feel so motivated to accomplish all my goals. But the start of this year has been different, instead of feeling "recharged" I found myself feeling tired and a little burnt out from the Holiday craziness and a busy end of the year with my business. After taking some much needed time to slow down a bit and limit my to-do list I am feeling so much better and it's amazing what slowing down a bit can do!
Something I have been talking about a lot over on my Instagram @houseofhire is decluttering the house and really working towards living with...well...less stuff everywhere. I started the hashtag #houseofhireminimal where I have encouraged my online community to share their homes, goals and inspirations so that we can all motivate one another this year. I would love if all of you lovely blog readers joined in as well!!
So my first project has been going through the kids toys (ahhh insert hand over face emoticon here.) Toys felt like a great place to start because first off, the kids don't play with them all and secondly, the clean up of those toys takes a lot of valuable time away from doing other productive things in the run of a day.
Also don't you find you just feel sooo much better when you have less stuff everywhere?! I really think there is something to be said about this whole living more minimally so stay tuned, I will be updating you on my progress.
Kind thoughts,
Lauren Elizabeth

@Chessa35- I'm in NJ and a Pats fan. If people think other teams don't try to get the edge anyway they can, well, they are naive. Let's not forget Sean Peyton and the "Bounty". The domestic abuse, rape, animal abuse is a distant memory? Not for me! Beli never attempted to hurt someone. He runs a tight ship. He likes to win, who doesn't?
Beli may have done things wrong but so do others but just don't get caught, not a big surprise there. It had nothing to do with Brady. Aaron Rogers openly admitted that he paid to have the ball inflated! Where's the outrage lol
it's Brady and Co on that field & determination, intelligence, preparation & a good work ethic make them winners & they are fun to watch!
Even the hate is fun....so keep hating them because that gives them motivation to win or play the best game they can. Yep, Brady looses but still manages to break records even then.....
Brady & Co class on and off the field. This game was important to the team but especially, Edelman, kudos to him, MVP. I love the comraderie and love within this organization. Did anyone notice Cooks & Brady weaving through the crowds to hug each other? It kinda says it all
@Stray. Brady almost always goes up and greets or talks to former teammates. Always goes to Vinatari. Texting Wilfork back and forth for the short time he was in Texas. It's not always shown on tv.
Did anyone see Ellen yesterday? She shaved Julian Edelman's beard off for a $10,000 donation to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston. He matched the donation. Ellen said she was going to auction the hair off too.
He looks so much better, now you can see his handsome face. Tom had his slight beard shaved off for charity too.

Known by a variety of names such as rotator cuff tendinitis, swimmers shoulder, throwers shoulder subacromial impingement or subacromial bursitis, this clinical syndrome occurs when the rotator cuff
tendons become irritated and inflamed as they pass through the subacromial space.
This can be an overuse injury due to repetitive or prolonged strain on the rotator cuff tendons such
as with overhead activities, pulling/pushing, lifting or repetitive reaching. It can also be the result of a
direct blow or fall onto the point of the shoulder forcing the head of the humerus upwards into the subacromial space creating a pinching effect on the rotator cuff tendon.

text: Luckily to have this cosmetic travel bag from SK-II counter at Mid Valley Megamall on the previous promotion at the centre court, this bag only available during the promotion period at the price of RM 178 including the Color Set inside the bag. The color set also came with mask, cleanser, CC Cream and a lipstick. All this item I already give to my mother and sister for gift to them and the bag I left for me for my SK-II Men storage. I buy 2 of this bag for my mother too. I hope next year they will come again with the Sk-II table mirror or a large travel bag with maroon color. This bag can hold your toner, essence, cleanser and others. With a large compartment inside, it suitable for carrying for travel.

Two explosions killed 4 workers, injured dozens in 2012
The government of British Columbia has retained a lawyer to assess the actions of WorkSafeBC in relation to sawmill explosions at Babine Forest Products and Lakeland Mills in 2012. The explosions killed four workers and injured dozens more in the communities of Burns Lake and Prince George.
After both incidents, coroner's inquests were conducted, and two reports were commissioned by the provincial government — the Dyble Report and Macatee Report. Various recommendations for WorkSafeBC arose out of these documents and now, lawyer Lisa Helps will be reviewing how these recommendations were implemented.
"(The) government is stepping up to provide important and overdue answers to the families and victims and to ensure that resources are in place to prevent similar tragedies from happening again," the provincial government said in a release.
Helps will seek input from relevant stakeholders and staff in WorkSafeBC and the ministries of attorney general, public safety and solicitor general and labour during her review. Helps will invite workers affected by the explosions, and their families, to share their perspectives on the issues under review.
The United Steelworkers (USW) issued a press release saying it is welcoming the review.
"For seven years we have been standing with victims, families and community members who have been desperate for answers," said USW district 3 director Stephen Hunt. "Through the coroners' inquests, the Dyble Report and the Macatee Report, we learned that WorkSafeBC failed to live up to its responsibility to protect the health and safety of workers."
Helps will also provide advice on potential legislative changes to improve safety for B.C. workers. A report, including recommendations, will be delivered to the attorney general by mid-July 2019.
Al Johnson, vice-president of prevention services for WorkSafeBC, said the agency is looking forward to assisting the reviewer in her work.
"We are always looking for ways to improve the health and safety of B.C. workplaces," he said.

Can you tell this will involve the Exhibitor's? I want to point out now that I was A overwhelmed by the stuff in here and B am short and honestly I probably missed stuff because I can't see through walls of bodies well. The guys with me did a good job of trying to get views or info for me if I couldn't but Exhibitors Hall is really not for those of the short variety.
Left for Dead 2 – As I noted in the previous post I was assaulted by the wall of bodies waiting to get their hands on a test run of this game. To say it is eagerly anticipated is really an understatement by the length of the line and the fact it was consistently really long. In fact it wasn't until the close of the Hall at 6pm that I got a look at the area at all. And to my both disappointment and relief it seemed like they only deemed to put it on X360 for demo. Disappointment because I am a live and die PC gamer ( btw I do love my consoles but if it is on PC and not some crappy port from console then I'm playing it on PC) Relief because I didn't stand in the line to demo it. (well really I'd have stood there so the Hub could since he likes FPS more than I do) Still the sheer amount of people waiting to play I think speaks highly of the franchise. hmmm zombies… (btw I ❤ Valve. Just had to throw that in there)
Blizzard – Truth be told I made like a bee to this area dragging the Hub behind me who I am pretty sure was pondering getting into the L4D line. I took a look at Star Craft 2, promptly remembered that I don't do RTS games, and can thus only tell you that it was very pretty. I mean it looks GREAT but it is still an RTS pretty or not I'm not torturing myself with it. Diablo 3, oh how I have longed for you, and the game looks stunning. I honestly thought I was going to get to spend more time in the Hall so I didn't jump in line immediately and missed a chance to play the game. But from watching on the screens over the players head I can tell you that while yes it is brighter than the previous games it looks stunning and bad ass. I certainly wasn't disappointed and eagerly anticipate D3…ok more than I did before at least. WoW: Cataclysm watching people play as worgen and gobbies was cool. I know the game play of WoW already so I wasn't all eager to get in it myself. I really do think they did a great job making the goblins feel right. Seriously, people have wanted to play them for ages and I think Blizz got them right on the money with it. The worgen looked good as well, the atmosphere for them is very nice dark and brooding which I think fit really well with what we know of their story so far.
Where did Blizz go wrong for me? Schwag. (What I totally warned you in the title it was going to come up) I dunno call me greedy (because I am) or a demanding consumer (because again I am) but hand sanitizer that says Blizzcon on it wasn't what I was hoping for. Is it weird of me to say I would've wanted a keyfob or something more. I mean I get that flu season is upon us and the fear is constant but…it just I dunno Bliz was the first booth I hit and given that I got an…wait I can't tell you that yet!
Warhammer – A step over and around a bit sat me down playing WAR again. Sadly there was no eager crowd honing in on this booth. Which really is a shame given that I still love this game (even though I quit it because of the end game) Their schwag made the Hub giddy (if such a thing is possible). We scored cards with ingame items on them, niffty buttons, and a poster. Given that the Hub is a HUGE Warhammer fan (he plays fantasy and we both play 40K wargames) it was a treat of goodness for our house (he is still deliberting on where to put the poster).
Dragon Age Origins – Ok big line to get the hands on demo of this game. And honestly I totally am there. I mean it is Bioware makers of my beloved Neverwinter Nights (and who didn't make the accursed NWN2 which shall not be mentioned in my presence) and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Now while I didn't get in line (remember I'm lazy and don't wait for things) I DID get their schwag…a blow up SWORD! YES an inflatable sword! I dunno maybe it is just me but that was a great play to the kids in us all. However, I did sit back and watch people play…very promising.
Ubisoft – Let me start by saying No More Heroes 2 looked KICK BUTT! I mean it is more of the same in the first game but the first game was good and this is just more good! Now you get two swords instead of just one! I mean I'm excited. (no link to their site since I can't find an official one yet) Now as I've established I am not a huge shooter game person (with some notable exceptions) so let me inform you of an upcoming exception…Splinter Cell Conviction. I mean it isn't really my genre but watching the demo on the huge screen (kudos to the guy playing because I watched two demo and he did take downs different each time which was pleasing) I was jazzed for the game to come out (the Hub is likely secretly pleased he won't have to slip it by me since it is on my list to get now).
Alienware – Man I am still miffed I missed the Plants vs Zombies tournament. The set rigs they are looked nice and who wouldn't want to start their morning off killing zombies? Someone brilliant put an energy drink give away with them too. Proving some people in marketing understand that gamers put in long hours at their computers and need a way to stay awake.
WotC – WOOT! Honestly you knew I was going to go there, admit it. Soo they had a book where you could look at upcoming products *wiggles eyebrows* (btw NO they did not or at least I didn't see art for the new Paul S Kemp book…YES I did look…twice…and made the Hub look too…shush I'm a book addict I will go to treatment never.) Where was I? Oh so walking into their…booth. Tables were set up and had people running and playing D&D. They had a register and were selling the 4th ed books. A guy was showing the new shoes and shirts but you couldn't buy them. Of course they had Magic going on. (Had to keep the Hub away. I don't need him restarting that obsession ;p) I got to watch some of the new Magic game coming out on Xbox, which only reminded me I still don't own an Xbox. They had more booths but I kept my distance…again little time and keeping the Hub from rekindling his Magic romance seemed like a full timer there.
Star Trek Online – I really did try to stand in line to play this…but seriously long lines, short time, and no patience do not make for a demo played. It looked good while I stood there. So it looks pretty but I really couldn't stand that long when I didn't have enough time to hit all the booths I wanted in the first place.
Mass Effect 2 – This was another one that had a huge line that I actually wanted to get some time wit. (btw there will be a demo ettiquette post coming Friday…grrrr) It looks good, people who played it seemed happy The people playing in my line pissed me off and the people behind them off enough that…grrrrr Where was I? Oh yeah…I didn't get to spend much time here because of anger issues…Moving on.
Brink – This one is by beloved Bethesda (yes beloved). The boys caught the demo of it and said Wow. And immediately followed with…tedious. Basically missions will give different bonuses to different classes all of which you can switch on the fly. They all said "Yeah switching every 2 min because you can and why wouldn't you to take get the most advantage? No thanks" Which really impressed upon me that sometimes less is more. But I am at this very minute wearing a Brink shirt so obviously the schwag factor worked.
There was a lot more going on with the Bethesda booth but I got easily distracted by Aion next door.
Aion – OMG PRETTY!!!! I have an awesome picture with me sporting black wings out of this booth and I love them for that alone. They also had a nifty model of their game world in a case that actually caught my eye walking around. But obviously my first impression of the game is pretty. Man People were getting on this MMO and just staying put. Part of this is because of the sheer amount of options for character creation. But seriously when I walked around to watch and try and get on the demo people weren't budging. Which is really good for them but bad for me 😦 (Also this week is the open beta but you have to have a beta key fyi. Don't be like me and think open beta dl means truly open)
Champions Online – Man I didn't even bother after walking by this area. Visually it is VERY unappealing to me. My initial reaction was, "ARRGG MY EYES!" Followed by, "Skip it and stay with CoH/V" Seriously, it was awful to my eyes, the jarring aqua colors have stuck with me this long and haven't diminished my rejection of the game.
Darksiders – All I can tell you is that they had a mechanical horse (instead of bull) for people to get on and ride. I can't tell you anything else because it was jammed packed, but that horse was so big even shorty me could see it. And of course I remember them because of it.
Peregrine – Yes! Someone came up with a better design for the game glove. My only downside is for MMO it might impede my massive chat fests if I bind macros to the tips. But still super interesting. They gave out shirts and lanyards and some other stuff…and yes they gave out hand sanitizer in niffty flat black squirty things that people guessed were us ports because they looked so unlike hand sanitizer actually.
*sighs* ok that isn't even everything! But I mean I didn't get to play Resident Evil but I did poke my head in the box people were playing it in and get an eye full of how good it looks. And I never did find the freaking Razer booth. I want want want to get my hands on the new mouse and see how it feels before I put money down on it ya know? I figured if anyone had a sample to get my hands on it would be them…and never could find them even though my friends swore they were there…somewhere. (Come on a Silver Hand player did the video announcement how can I not want to play with one?)
So in closing? If you are going to hit PAX try and make it for all 3 days. I didn't hit all the booths I wanted or panels. Never mind the gaming that was going on the different floors. I totally dug they had open gaming going on, movies and concerts. One day was enough to make it an experience and cement that next year it will be all 3 days.
Again much love to the guys at Penny Arcade (special grats again to Jerry for the new baby) and all the people that worked on making that a super blast! *hugs*

One of the best-known Similan Islands liveaboard diving boats is MV Peter Pan. This 26x65.m vessel has been running 4D/4N 14-dive cruises to Thailand's best dive sites for a number of years, and still offers possibly the best balance of comfort at the right price. No more than 22 guests join each diving cruise to The Similans, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai & Richelieu Rock.
There are three cabin types on Peter Pan, all able to accommodate two guests in air-conditioned comfort without breaking the bank. In the lower deck there are budget twins and a budget double bed cabin. On the upper deck there are twin bunks, with large windows, and on the main deck there are twin bed cabins and the master cabin, which has an en suite shower.
The dive staff, local crew & chef on Peter Pan all have a great reputation, and give guests a friendly but professional service. The divers are put into groups of no more than four per Divemaster guide, and taken good care of both underwater and on board. There are beach excursions, snorkel opportunities and plenty of areas to catch up on your tan, socialize with others or just enjoy the sea breeze.
Dining on Peter Pan is done at the back of the main deck, in a covered open air area, and there is also an air-conditioned indoor saloon for showing or watching media and taking a break from outside. The dive platform is large enough for everyone to move around and enter the water safely in groups. Nitrox fills are available at a very reasonable rate, as are PADI courses. In fact, it would be fair to say that nowhere else can a diver take part in a cheaper PADI course, especially given the fantastic diving conditions at the Similan Islands between mid-October and mid-May.
Divers (and non-diving guests, who receive a $100 discount) are able to enjoy free pickup and drop off at the beginning and end of each trip, and this includes southern Phuket, the airport & around Khao Lak. Diving equipment is available for hire at very competitive rates. MV Peter Pan is a very popular diving boat and for good reason. Liveaboard trips to The Similan Islands & Richelieu Rock can be enjoyed in comfort at reasonable prices.

MV Peter Pan Courses
Not only is MV Peter Pan a great-value Similans liveaboard to do fun dives from, it is also one of the best and least expensive to take part in a PADI diving course while on board. There is a wide selection of diving courses that can be completed while you enjoy your cruise around the tropical waters of the Similan and Surin Islands. Our unbeatable prices include the cost of materials and certification. Please take a look at the table below and be sure to let us know in advance about any onboard PADI diving courses that you are interested in. In most cases, it is possible at short notice. But to ensure the materials are in your preferred language and the instructor is available at the perfect time and for the right dives of your cruise, it is advisable to book, or at least enquire, before the trip.
Please note that the dives are not 'extra to the cruise.' They are part of your chosen cruise package, but you will be taught by a qualified and experienced PADI instructor for that many of your Peter Pan liveaboard cruise dives.
*Guests wanting to take part in courses such as Open Water & Scuba Diver need to arrive in Khao Lak a day before the cruise in order to take part in pool sessions known as 'confined water.' This takes a few hours and prepares them to dive confidently in the open sea.
MV Peter Pan Transfer details
Peter Pan guests are offered free scheduled transfers from Phuket hotels, Phuket International Airport and around Khao Lak. The further south in Phuket the earlier the pick up and later the drop off at the end of the cruise. Pick ups start mid afternoon. Phuket Airport pick ups are 5.00-6.00pm.
Guests are usually taken to the dive centre in Khao Lak to finalise paperwork and balance payments, before a short drive to Tab lamu Pier, just 14km. south.

Famous Quotes and Poems About Children
From small beginnings come great things
A new baby is like the beginning of all things - wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.
Eda J. Leshan
The decision to have a child is to accept that your heart will forever walk about outside of your body.
Katherine Hadley
The little child, when it sees a star sparkle, stretches out its dimpled arms; it wants the star. To want a star is the beautiful insanity of the young.
Countess de Gasparin
Earth laughs in flowers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
Little drops of water, little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean and the pleasant land.
And the little moments, humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages of Eternity.

Mother Teresa (1910-1997)
There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots; the other, wings.
Hodding Carter III
I love it - I love it - the laugh of a child,
Now rippling and gentle, now merry and wild;
Ringing out on the air with its innocent gush,
Like the trill of a bird in the twilight's soft hush;
Floating up on the breeze like the tones of a bell,
Or the music that dwells in the heart of a shell:
Oh, the laugh of a child, so wild and so free,
Is the merriest sound in the world for me!
Isabel Athelwood
Each day I love you more...today, more than yesterday...and less than tomorrow.
Rosemonde Gerard
The smiles of infants are said to be the first fruits of human reason.
Rev. Henry N. Hudson
You should have a softer pillow than my heart.
Lord Byron (1788-1824)
The greatest gift is a portion of thyself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
Happiness is a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864)
The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives a rose.
Hada Bejar
Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,
Smiles awake you when you rise:
Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby.
Thomas Dekker (1570-1632)
Children in a family are like flowers in a bouquet: there's always one determined to face in an opposite direction from the way the arranger desires.
Marcelene Cox
Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.
J.M. Barrie (1860-1937)
For babies people have to pay
A heavy price from day to day -
There is no way to get one cheap
Why, sometimes when they're fast asleep
You have to get up in the night
And go and see that they're alright.
But what they cost in constant care
And worry, does not half compare
With what they bring of joy and bliss -
You'd pay much more for just a kiss.
Edgar Guest (1881-1959)
There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
Oh! little lock of golden hue,
In gently waving ringlet curl'd,
By the dear head on which you grew,
I would not lose you for a world.
Lord Byron (1788-1824)
Happiness is the intoxication produced by the moment of poise between a satisfactory past, and an immediate future, rich with promise.
Ella Maillart
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962)
As a boon the kiss is granted:
Baby - mouth, your touch is sweet-
Takes the love without the trouble
From those lips that with it meet;
Gives the love, O pure! O tender!
Of the valley where it grows,
But the baby-heart receiveth
More than it bestows.
Jean Ingelow (1820-1897)
Do you know what you are?
You are a marvel. You are unique.
In all the years that have passes,
there has never been another child like you.

Al Khalij Commercial Bank (al khaliji) P.Q.S.C., Qatar's next generation bank, in line with its commitment to the high morale of the community and spreading knowledge about important issues that affect the wellbeing of its members, recently organized a special event for its staff to raise awareness about Autism in society, in collaboration with Shafallah Center and Qatar Autism Families Association.
With the incurable neurodevelopmental disorder affecting 1 out of every 45 children, al khaliji's event introduced the bank's employees to Autism, its early signs, prevalence, and how they can help raise general know-howabout the socially-impairing condition in the community. During an afternoon spent at the bank headquarters in the Al Jazi Tower – with Shafallah's representatives, who have firsthand experience in supporting those with the disorder – the al khaliji staff learned more about this important health issue, as well as how modifications and remedial support can be provided to improve the quality of life of the affected individual, when Autism is diagnosed at an early stage.
The initiative was held in the framework of al khaliji's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, which has been designed in alignment with the Qatar National Vision 2030 and revolves around balancing economic, social and environmental obligations towards the realization of the community's aspirations and general welfare.

Metaculus Help: Spread the word
If you like Metaculus, tell your friends! Share this question via Facebook, Twitter, or Reddit.
20 more languages extinct by 2021?
Linguists estimate that humans use around 7,000 languages. Only a few are considered global or widespread languages. The others, although spoken by small regional groups, are often key to the identity and heritage of their respective cultures.
Only 102 languages are considered "International" or "National" and are spoken by 60% of the world's population, despite comprising only 1.4% of all documented modern languages. Globalization, including internet connectivity, international trade, and international travel elevate the importance of these top languages, particularly the six languages with the most speakers: Chinese, Spanish, English, Arabic, Hindi, and Portuguese.
Globalization can endanger languages as well because rising generations learn regional and national languages instead of local or traditional dialects. Estimates of endangered languages range from around 20% to around 50% of all documented languages. Hundreds of languages have already been lost, and the current language death rate is between four and six languages per year. Ethnologue, an annual report on language status, reports that 360 languages reported as "living" in their first 1951 report have since been classified as "extinct." 423 languages are considered "nearly extinct," meaning that the only user are aging speakers who have little opportunity to use the language in everyday life.
But technology can also help preserve and revitalize languages, with digital documentation and language resources aiming to save some of the most critically endangered languages. Linguists also track languages that are "reawakening," including seven in the United States currently enjoying a resurgence.
Will language loss rates increase by the end of the decade?
This question will resolve as positive if the 2021 edition of Ethnologue lists more than 380 extinct languages since 1951, which would indicate a language loss rate greater than four per year, and an acceleration in language loss.

Softball FNQ 2019/20 Member Registration
Check out the softball facilities at the Walker Road Sporting & Recreation Precinct!
TAYLA Jackson is reaping the rewards of a hard-working off season and can't wait to try on the Queensland colours for the first time.
The 16-year-old catcher ticked off a personal milestone earlier this year when picked in the under-17 Queensland softball team along with Cairns teammate Samantha Hodgman.
Jackson, who also plays second base, trained almost every day in the off-season and had been spurred on by the workrate of Cairns softball export Jayme Reddacliff who has just earned a four-year scholarship at the University of Northern Colorado.
Jackson said she had watched how hard Reddacliff had trained while she was home the pitcher is now based in Brisbane and taken a lot from that.
The Red Sox player, who was convinced to play softball while in year seven, will be coached by her local mentor Liz Fresser at the national titles and have the more experienced Hodgman there as well.
"Liz has been my main coach along the way and playing with Sam will be good for me too," she said.Players are still wanted for the Cairns Softball competition, played at the Martyn Street fields every Saturday.

It's no secret that there is a clear caste system in high school. And close to the bottom of the proverbial barrel, in most people's opinions, are the drama club kids. Drama club kids are often a misunderstood breed. They're mistaken for being nerdy, weird, and just way too obsessed with Wicked to function in everyday life. But the reality is drama club kids are some of the most talented kids you'll ever encounter.
Though I have since hung up my character shoes, I was a misunderstood drama kid for a majority of my life. I stayed up until all hours of the night rehearsing at school — and even attended a theatre school on my off-hours because I just couldn't get enough. I learned that people don't always get your hobby, and may even laugh that you prefer to work out to the Legally Blonde soundtrack over Top 40.
But being a drama club kid has also taught me to not care one bit about these stereotypical assumptions. People are just jealous that they can't belt a high C while nailing a double pirouette while acting. Whether you were once a drama kid — or still are one — we're a pretty damn awesome group, and there are plenty of things that only we can understand. Things like...
There was always drama-related drama
...Most of it highly incestuous
because The theatre world is EXTREMELY small
Everyone knows everyone, so you better play nice in case you ever do a show with someone who knows someone who knows someone.
You have a thick skin from having been told "No" all the time
and you learned how to pick yourself up and keep auditioning early on
Speaking of, auditions gave you extreme anxiety
And call-backs were even worse
So naturally, you went into hiding until the cast list came out
And you either got typecast
Great, another year of playing the bimbo!
Or you got the part you wanted!
Your director always reminded you that "there are no small parts, only small actors"
When rehearsal started, your social life was officially over
And "I can't, I have rehearsal" became your motto
you know that "Voice envy" is an actual thing
You cared more about studying lines than you did studying for midterms
and Summers were spent rehearsing in a sweltering room for 8 hours a day
the phrase "Do It Again" brings back fond (and excruciating) memories
Instead of spring break, you had Hell Week
"Are we having fun?" was always your director's favorite phrase...
Which was the best and worst week of the semester
you learned that being able to bust out a double pirouette while nailing a harmony is no easy feat
And you were able to do it all with a smile on your face.
and that Theatre Moms are even worse than Dance Moms
Getting costumes was the best
And most of them are still hanging in your closet
Your friends love to raid your closet come Halloween.
even if you're since quit auditioning, some things haven't changed
You certainly haven't lost your dramatic flair.
like, You still have more DVDs of shows you were in than you do movies
And you force your friends to watch them on occasion.
You still have zero boundaries from doing constant costume changes
and Patti Lupone, Idina Menzel, and Kristin Chenoweth are still your idols
The Tony's is the only award show that really matters to you
and All your signed playbills are still hanging on your wall
Which is obviously all your playbills because Stage Dooring a show is mandatory.
Your iPod is a mix of all your favorite musicals
and you still dream of playing that one role that was made for you
And you'll keep auditioning for it no matter how many times you're told no.

Recently (february 13th 2018) a player named "KudKind" got on the server.
This player was pretty quiet at first and was no bother to anyone.
Suddenly he started sending this ( Die, <3) message to practically every question or statement in chat.
He then started talking directly to me asking "IS JARNTITE YOUR NAAM" wich i ignored.
Multiple people have told him to stop, or that he's being a prick but he didn't listen
After a while he logged out,
I want to keep him logged out,
It will be alot quieter.

A government watchdog group has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) after the agency failed to turn over Obamacare records despite the expiration of time limits imposed by the Freedom of Information Act.
Cause of Action Institute, a D.C.-based nonpartisan government accountability organization, filed the lawsuit on March 13 after HHS failed to turn over a variety of Obamacare-related records, including documents about its controversial risk corridors program. That program is designed to transfer money between insurance companies that participate in the Obamacare marketplaces.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a subsidiary of HHS, previously released a memorandum saying that funding for the risk corridor program would not be available in 2015 due to low enrollment numbers and funding shortfalls.
"The memorandum, however, appears to invite insurers to sue CMS and then settle with the Department of Justice ('DOJ') to obtain funding, which would constitute an end-run of a provision enacted by Congress in 2014 to prevent shifting funds into the risk corridors program and a violation of DOJ guidance regarding 'backdoor bailouts,'" Cause of Action said in a press release.
"Obtaining risk corridor funding through the DOJ Judgment Fund would be an illegal misuse of appropriated taxpayer money."

Watchdog Files Lawsuit Against HHS for Failing to Release Obamacare Documents
at 3/16/2017 12:07:00 PM
1 comment:
Most of these outfits aren't watchdogs. They're fronts for Liberals' insanity and thirst/lust for power. They aren't here to protect anyone or their interests only try to stop the underpinnings of dismantling the Democrat tentacles into Americans' lives. Defund them as well.

'Recruiter bashing' is a popular sport on the internet. In part this comes from lack of transparency, in part through a lack of empathy. Sometimes, though, complaints goes too far. Rebecca Hudson's important post shows where this line is crossed. H/T brainfooder Tris Revill for the share.
|Why Software Engineers Don't Get Jobs
So my buddy Iwan Gulenko is a rare beast – an ex-developer turned tech recruiter. His unique perspective gives him the confidence to directly engage with technical stakeholders, leading to fantastic stories like these. Recruiting – it's a messy business.
|Google For Jobs: Upgraded
As we all know, Google for Jobs is a big deal. Our buddies at 4Mat have been on the case, providing meaningful commentary on the latest updates, and most tellingly, what it looks like for those of who've not yet seen it. Check out their youtube explainer also.
|GDPR – Clickable / Searchable Website
So the good folks at Intersoft Consulting have chopped up the original PDF of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 a.ka. 'GDPR', into this searchable / clickable website. Makes you wonder why all legislation isn't presented like this because of course it should be. Bookmark this link folks, it might be useful / vital depending on what you do.
|I Hate Telephones
An unscheduled telephone call has become an unacceptable interrupt. James Fisher tells us why we still love to talk but only if we give consent to who, when and how. And that's almost never first contact.
|ChatbotConf 2017 – All The Talks
Those who follow this newsletter know that I'm a chatbot believer – we've just got to scale back our expectations of a fully fluid, human-like man experience. It's going to matter in recruiting, especially in upgrading candidate experience. For those who agree, you should check this out – all the talks from ChatbotConf 2017 in Vienna – all in one place.
|Is Not Being Anonymous On Glassdoor A Really Bad Thing?
Tim Sackett asks the hard questions in this post about the anonymity ruling on the US courts this week. This is a game changer for Glassdoor, and perhaps an end to the 'bad review'. Did employer branding just get easier? I think it did.
|Cold Email A/B Testing: A Playbook To Increase Opens, Clicks And Replies
It is engagement, not discovery, that is the pressing problem for recruiters today. This handy playbook shows us how to conduct experiments to improve email opens, clicks and replies. Thanks brainfooder Dave Hazelhurst for the share.
|"We're Looking For A RockStar Developer"
It's a recruitment phrase that really won't die – maybe this Skeleton Claw cartoon will help it on its way. Metaphors are useful until they become cliché at which point they need to be lampooned. H/T brainfooder Zeshaan Shamsi for the share
So this is what the notorious Alan Walker has been up to. Only creating what looks to be the best damned recruiting hub on the planet. Check out his new site 'ChatTalent' – packed full for videos, blogs, podcasts and more – it's hugely impressive new addition to the recruitment media landscape.

Hierarchical sorting amongst males is an important factor moderating interaction with females. tl:dr: if you're a competent woman, you're a status threat to an incompetent man.

Felt and Glitter Ornament
Nothing adds sparkle to the tree like a handmade ornament. These felt and glitter ornaments shine thanks to their unique shape. Finish them with a handmade tassel and painted wood beads.
These felt twirlers add a pop of shimmer and color to your christmas tree. These handmade ornaments are meant to spin and catch the light. Create a rainbow of colors and give them as festive Christmas gifts.
What You'll Need
- Felt sheets
- Spray adhesive
- Iron-on glitter
- Iron
- Iron-on metallic sheet
- Fabric glue
- Gold elastic cord
- Painted wood beads
Step 1: Make Circles
Use spray adhesive to join two 9"×12" felt sheets; cut out two 3½"-diameter circles. Cut two 3½"-diameter circles from a sheet of iron-on glitter; cut glitter circles in half. Iron glitter half circles to felt circles so one half of each is glitter on the front and the other half is glitter on the back.
Step 2: Connect Circles
Cut halfway up center of each felt circle (along glitter edge). Slip the two circles together at right angles. Secure cut edges with fabric glue.
Step 3: Make Tassel
Cut a 4"×6" piece of felt and iron-on metallic sheet; iron together. Cut fringe along the 6" side, leaving a ¾" border across the top. Cut two 24" lengths of elastic cord; fold in half. Hot-glue folded ends at one edge of the unfringed top of felt. Starting at that edge, tightly roll felt, dotting with glue as you go.
Step 4: String Together
Knot the loose cords at top of tassel. Thread on beads; knot again. Lay one length of cord in each right angle of twirler; knot at top of ornament and hang.

New York State Supreme Court of Judicature (Albany) Naturalization Papers
Held by the New York State Archives
Overview of the Records
New York State Archives
New York State Education Department
Cultural Education Center
Albany, NY 12230
Alphabetic by name of petitioner.
Scope and Content Note
This series consists of documents relating to the naturalization of aliens by the Supreme Court of Judicature or by justices presiding at Circuit Courts. The documents, mostly from Albany County, include the declaration of intention, in which an alien states his intention to renounce allegiance to a foreign ruler or state and to become a citizen of the United States; and the petition for naturalization, stating the country (sometimes the place) of origin and length of residence in the U.S., and requesting to be admitted to citizenship. The petition is usually accompanied by an affidavit by persons acquainted with the alien, stating that he is of good moral character and has resided in the U.S. the required number of years; and by a copy of the oath of allegiance sworn by the alien. Naturalization of an alien could be performed in any court of record, as directed by an act of the U.S. Congress passed on April 14, 1802. Almost all naturalization proceedings in New York State during the early nineteenth century took place in the old Court of Common Pleas, whose records are maintained by the county clerks.

In a recent study published in the journal Lancet, 135,000 people from 18 countries were followed over the course of 7.5 years to determine how their food choices affected their risk of death from cardiovascular disease, stroke, and non-cardiovascular disease (1).
This study, called the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study, investigated the relationship between those that ate high carbohydrate foods and those that ate higher fat foods on cardiovascular disease and overall mortality.
After performing an analysis on the mortality of individuals from all around the world, researchers from this study conclude that eating a diet containing a high percentage of calories from carbohydrates from high carbohydrate foods is associated with an increased risk of total mortality, and that eating a diet containing a minimum of 30% of energy from fat and a minimum of 10% of energy from saturated fat reduces your risk of death.
Based on the number of people in the study (135,000) and the length of time of the study period (7.5 years), many people may consider these results to be groundbreaking. Unfortunately, there are many limitations to the study, and as a result these data are very untrustworthy.
In this article we'll explain:
It's almost impossible to gather relevant data from a study with a poor design from the onset. This study is a classic example of an investigation that was designed to fail from the beginning. There are many reasons why, including the following:
Reason #1: The study asked people to recall their food intake using a questionnaire at the beginning of the study, which is problematic because dietary recall questionnaires are notoriously inaccurate.
Reason #2: The study did not ask people to recall their food intake at ANY point during the following 7.5 years. If they changed their diet, this information would have been missed entirely.
Reason #3: The data that they did gather on the participants' diets was not analyzed with enough attention to detail, including failure to differentiate between processed or whole foods (as we will explain further in the next section).
The authors state the limitations of their study design by writing the following:
The authors of this study conclude that eating a diet greater than 60% of carbohydrate energy containing high carbohydrate foods is associated with an increased risk of death, and that a diet containing more than 30% fat with less high carbohydrate foods leads to improved longevity.
They found that participants in low- and middle-income countries consumed more high carbohydrate foods, which suggests that their fat and protein intake were correspondingly low.
The authors state, "...most participants from low-income and middle-income countries consumed a very high carbohydrate diet (at least 60% of energy), especially from refined sources (such as white rice and white bread)."
Furthermore, they were "...unable to quantify separately the types of carbohydrate (refined vs. whole grains) consumed. However, carbohydrate consumption in low-income and middle-income countries is mainly from refined sources."
It is imperative to understand that whole high carbohydrate foods such as fruits, starchy vegetables, non-starchy vegetables, legumes, and whole grains are associated with increased health and longevity (2–4,4–21), whereas refined high carbohydrate foods are associated with an increased risk of disease and mortality (22–31).
Why then, would they blame "carbohydrates" in general for worse health outcomes rather than blaming "refined carbohydrates" from white rice and bread? This is simply poor data analysis.
This study reported that "total protein intake was inversely associated with risks of total mortality and non-cardiovascular disease mortality," suggesting that higher protein leads to less risk of death.
A closer look at the data reveals something very important – countries where people ate a large amount of foods containing refined carbohydrates also had lower median income levels and poor access to education. This suggests that higher rates of mortality in these countries is likely not related to a single variable like food when so many other variables that influence health exist.
So is it higher protein that reduces mortality or access to better healthcare that makes the difference?
The latter makes more sense, given a large collection of research that shows that higher protein intake is associated with a significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality and chronic disease (32,33,33–52).
In the world of nutrition, people talk more about carbohydrate, fat, and protein, and often omit talking about food. The PURE study is a perfect example of mistaking whole food for isolated macronutrients.
Whole foods contain a collection of macronutrients and micronutrients, as illustrated by the following picture. A peach is not just one macronutrient (carbohydrates), but actually contains all three, along with important micronutrients. This the the case for ALL whole foods.
Talking about a macronutrient profile means little without discussing the specific foods that contain a multitude of biological components.
For example, a meal containing high carbohydrate foods containing 60% carbohydrate, 20% protein, and 20% fat could be:
Both meals contain 60% carbohydrate.
Both meals contain 20% protein.
Both meals contain 20% fat.
But the nutrient content, and the way that these meals affect our health, is extremely different.
Meal 1 contains all whole foods, is anti-inflammatory, and reduces your chronic disease risk. It is high in fiber, nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It promotes a healthy body weight, insulin sensitivity, energy, heart health, and longevity.
Meal 2 contains all processed foods, is proinflammatory, and increases your chronic disease risk. It is highly processed, nearly devoid of fiber or any other nutrition. It promotes atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, low energy due to a blood sugar spike and the resulting fall, weight gain, and greater risk of mortality.
Humans don't eat carbohydrate, protein, and fat. We eat potato chips, brown rice, lentils, chicken, spinach, salmon, swiss cheese, skittles, olive oil, bananas, quinoa, etc. How these foods act in our bodies is affected but not determined by their macronutrient profile.
Let's make the PURE study a lesson in the detriment of reducing whole foods to their isolated macronutrients, and remember that a reductionist approach severely limits your ability to understand the elegance of whole food nutrition.

Description : This session will ask the question: what do fishes do on, and for, coral reefs? Fishes play numerous roles in ecosystem processes. The evolution of new fish groups has shaped reef development, and today fishes play pivotal roles in maintaining coral reef ecosystems in the face of climate change and other anthropogenic impacts. This session will encompass all of the important functions that fishes play on coral reefs, from predation and herbivory through to bioerosion and nutrient transfer. It will look at fishes as functional units that can shape the way that reefs operate. Human activity is changing coral reefs and fishes are both indicators of environmental change and a focus of human pressure, as a result of fishing activity. Our understanding of reefs in the past and future is contingent on our ability to comprehend the ecosystem processes which maintain them. The overarching goal of this session, therefore, is to identify the roles that fishes play on coral reefs so that we may better protect critical functional groups to ensure the future of coral reefs and the people who depend on them.
Expected Audience : This is a particularly broad interdisciplinary session and a large audience is anticipated. It will be of interest to a wide variety of ecologists and offers managers an opportunity to explore the implications of human activity on marine systems. The focus is undoubtedly on coral reef but the topics are of such interest and import that a broader audience is anticipated. The session topics were specifically selected to encompass a broad range of ecological roles. This session, therefore, can incorporate everything from nutrient transfer to fisheries, MPAs to paleoecology. Indeed one of the greatest problems may be an overabundance of abstracts. The co-organizers bring a wealth of experience and an international perspective with experience in all three of the world's tropical ocean basins. If successful, our goal will be to provide a diverse and exciting array of talks. Based on the recent ICRS in Hawaii talks by the leading researchers may expect an audience of several hundred while regular talks were consistently over 50 people.

The Farnborough Jazz Club have just posted a review of the appearance that my UK band made at their club in September, 2009:"Last week, Friday 11th September, we enjoyed a completely different sound from Sarah Spencer's Transatlantic Jazz Band. A really hot swinging combo, being pushed along by Sarah's rocking tenor sax. She sang some great blues numbers too and presented the band with true American-style professionalism, a band we all thoroughly enjoyed and would love to hear again. Sarah last played for us about 18years ago, when we held jazz at Badgers Mount Hotel, although she did not remember the occasion. Soon after, she moved to the US and what a wonderful transformation growing up there has done. Many thanks for your magic, Sarah."
Their website is: http://www.farnboroughjazz.co.uk
I have to say that it was a fantastic gig. For me, the most memorable part was Chris Marchant's playing on the rhythm section solos on the last number, Redwing: his woodblock work was pure Baby Dodds on Ice Cream (you know what's I'm talking about). Oh My God! Annie Hawkins and I were still speechless about it the following day. What a great gig. What a great bunch of musicians for me to have the honour of playing with!

After I've started to go to video chat rooms on www.paltalk.com I've given my English a boost. There we've found lots of excellent rooms where people from all over the world meet to practice their English. These rooms are usually moderated/administrated by a native speaker of English who devotes a few hours to the teaching of the language. Volunteers take turns moderating the rooms. They give us listening, speaking, reading and writing exercises as well as vocabulary games and quizzes on general knowledge. Those who are regulars of the rooms are learners of different proficiency levels. However, they seem to learn a lot from each other.ReplyDelete

I would like to travel to La Paz Bolivia , because it has a wonderful folklore.ReplyDelete
I have family there so, I have a place to stay at. The first thing that I'd visit there would be Santa Cruz , this place is 7 hours away from Bolivia. Santa Cruz is very beautiful and there are many tourist places. If I didn't have a place to stay with my family I'd stay in a hotel with a swimming pool and a gym . Then, I'd visit "La Casa del Camba Restaurant", which is a nice and tourist place and its food is delicious. Then I'd go to Aqualand, which is a center for fun with water's slide and swimming pool and artificial waves . Then, I'd go to Copacabana, which is a city located 12 hours away from Santa Cruz . Here you can see the Titicaca Lake which is the highest lake in South America
