Healthy trees in your home mean that your lawn, garden, or backyard looks great. Healthy trees are also important to ensure the health of your home. This is why experts give so much importance to the health of the trees in your house.
Do you live in a suburban area and own a house with a front lawn or backyard, or both? If yes, then you may have noticed that trees and shrubs grow wildly, if left unchecked. Is it true that you are planning to get an old tree trimmed? A few people truly trim their trees routinely, but it is not by any means a basic work to perform and many individuals attempt to stay away from doing it. Normal trimming has many advantages to offer.
In many situations, when the development of the tree becomes evidently unmanageable, then it might hurt your property or the electrical wires on the adjacent street. In reality, disregarding the trimming work will lead to the development of undesirable shrubs and branches, and then these branches may break accidents or diseases to the entire tree.
When the process of tree growth is going on, you may need to ensure that the tree does not grow too much and become noticeably unmanageable. Obviously, one of the primary purposes behind tree trimming is that it makes the tree look wonderful and beautiful as well.
Trimming is noticeably imperative for the tree and for you also in light of the fact that aesthetically-pleasing trees look amazing in your lawn or backyard, and it indirectly enhances the value of your house or property also. Also, it will help in different ways to keep your home protected from the harsh climate, like extremely hot summers, heavy snow, and strong winds.
Numerous specialists say that it's a major disadvantage that most homeowners lack knowledge about nature, particularly trees, and to enhance your insight about tree trimming, you can hire an expert arborist.
A specialist arborist can help you to understand the steps that are best for your trees.
Keep in mind, each tree is unique, so an arborist can disclose to you how it will develop and at what speed it develops.
Every now and then, a couple of parts, especially branches, leaves and shrubs die. Thus, it becomes quite pivotal to remove them regularly. If you neglect to do that then the branches can break and fall on people, resulting in major or minor mishaps. Similarly, if there are kids playing under the tree, at that point you need to be extra careful and ensure that dead branches do not fall off and cause disasters or extreme accidents.
A standout among the most vital things to consider here that the structure of the tree is solid and stable since your trees won't just face only one kind of extreme climate, but they may need to manage heat, cold, heavy downpours, windy climate, and hail or even snow and so on.

Excavations in French Guiana
With the help of WAC and Cater alumna Elizabeth Clay, Madison Kaye '19 spent four weeks in the summer of 2018 in French Guiana. During her time there, she excavated a house and two trenches, contributed towards a better understanding of slavery at Habitation la Caroline (a 19th century spice plantation), and helped to fill in the gaps in the archaeological record left by previous plantation excavations.
"One myth perpetuated by historians in French Guiana, still a colony controlled by France, is that slavery before emancipation in the mid-1800s was less severe because clove production, their main export, was primarily task-based and did not involve the intensive labor required for sugar cultivation in other Caribbean colonies. Plantation archaeology in French Guiana, since its start in the late 20th century, has focused on the life of the planter and his family with little attention paid to their slaves," said Kaye on the troubles faced in the fields of archaeology and history in French Guiana.
The main take-away from her time in French Guiana: the importance of community involvement in the archaeological process.

The suspect who is due to make his first court appearance today has not been identified. The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force made the arrest yesterday following his inquiry to buy weapons online. After communicating with him they learned of his deadly plot. Initially, it was reported that he was looking for grenades but we have information this hour that he may have been looking for a suicide bomb vest. The suspect is due in a Brooklyn Federal courtroom later today. It's believed he acted alone but officials are still looking to see if he had ties to any terrorist group. There's no word on a motif.

TOKYO -- Bank of Japan Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda reaffirmed his commitment again Friday to the central bank's easy-money policy as he nears the end of his first term without achieving his goal of 2% inflation.
Kuroda gave a news conference after the BOJ policy board, at the last meeting of the current leadership, voted to maintain current stimulus policies. He has been asked by the government to serve a second five-year term, starting in April, with two new deputy governors.
"Dispelling the deflationary mindset is taking time, and this is why we have been unable to realize the 2% price stability target," Kuroda told reporters at the bank's headquarters in Tokyo.
Several factors hit Japan that stifled a rise in prices during Kuroda's first term, from plunges in crude oil prices to the hiking of the consumption tax rate to 8% in 2014. But he cited consumer sentiment as an even greater force. Seemingly endless deflation has kept consumers from even imagining higher prices, and that attitude is preventing prices from rising in reality, he believes.
Breaking such a mindset is taking longer than Kuroda expected, and the BOJ has decided to keep stimulus measures in place for the long haul. The central bank initially bolstered its Japanese government bond purchase program and took other quantitative easing steps. But facing speculation about the limitations of the bond-buying program, the bank introduced a policy overhaul with yield-curve control in September 2016. That was "an important change," Kuroda said Friday, while pledging to "persistently continue with easing."
The BOJ believes that, if it keeps the current extremely loose monetary policy in place, prices will eventually rise 2%. The gap between the Japanese economy's demand and its potential supply capabilities has improved, Kuroda pointed out, noting that businesses have started raising wages and prices more seriously. This will lead to a 2% inflation rate by around fiscal 2019, he predicted.
"We see no changes to the economy's strong fundamentals," he said.
Financial markets saw an exodus from risky assets in February, depressing stocks around the world. But the Japanese economy's foundation remains solid, Kuroda said, describing corporate earnings outlooks as "robust." Asked about the yen's possible rise in light of the U.S. administration's protectionist moves, the governor said he does not expect "protectionism to spread globally."
Looking ahead to his second term, Kuroda emphasized the central bank's commitment to its easy-money policy. "This is not the time to have any concrete debate on an exit," he said.
If there is speculation that the BOJ might be moving to normalize its policy, the yen might keep strengthening, squeezing profits at exporters. Earnings deterioration probably would discourage employers from raising wages, further stalling any inflation trend. "If the momentum [for inflation] is not maintained, we'll consider additional easing," Kuroda said.
At the same time, however, the longer the BOJ keeps its loose policy, the more it is expected to pay attention to the policy's side effects, including a profit squeeze at financial institutions. While shooting down speculation about normalization, Kuroda suggested that tweaking its policy of guiding short-term interest rates to minus 0.1% and long rates around 0% might be an option separate from a debate on an exit. Lifting the nominal interest rate if the inflationary trend picks up "would be theoretically possible," he stated, leaving wiggle room for a policy adjustment.
Kuroda is to begin his second five-year term April 9, assuming the Diet approves his reappointment. To replace Deputy Governors Hiroshi Nakaso and Kikuo Iwata, the government has nominated Waseda University professor Masazumi Wakatabe and BOJ Executive Director Masayoshi Amamiya.
Wakatabe, an outspoken reflationist, told a parliamentary committee at his confirmation hearing that further easing was an option. But such a path is risky given the likely side effects. This means the Kuroda-led BOJ cannot afford to either scale down or expand its stimulus program -- and thus is entering its second five-year term with few options on the table.

SURF ON SURFACE (audiovisual performance, 35 mins)
Georgij Bagdasarov studied composition at the Music Academy in Moscow and film in St. Petersburg. In his musical career he has gone through stages ranging from punk and techno to free improvisation with found and prepared items. His audiovisual projects are reminders of reminiscences; he emphasises the material nature of the medium and works with references to the history of cinema.
In your live audiovisual performance you refer to the work of Stan Brakhage and Paul Sharits, the two legends of American experimental film, especially those works of the 1960s and '70s. Are they mainly a visual or also an aural source of inspiration?
Regarding Brakhage, I have been inspired by his work with handmade films. He didn't draw the images exactly onto each film frame, but worked with the whole surface of the film strip. Similarly, I take a picture of a whole desk and apply various surfaces on top. But after that this space is being screened in time. Sharits is known for mechanism, where various surfaces fade into each other. It is about a mathematical approach rather than about exact theorems – I create "kind of flicker loops" that have an inner metric structure.
After a longer period you focus particularly on image in the project Surf on Surface. Can you describe briefly the method of interconnecting image and sound?
Imagine sound would be applied to the whole surface of a film strip, the same as with Brakhage's paintings. But then the film would be screened frame by frame and I would stop each frame for 1/24th or 1/18th of a second. I would not stop in a regular pattern, which is more typical for screening such a film strip. Every frame would be connected with a certain part of a sound record. And at such speeds of sound alteration it creates a granular synthesis1 where every "grain" of sound is connected to a film frame. Sound colours and tones are integrated with colours and brightness into every frame. Using my system I adjust their acoustic features in accordance with some harmonious rules – the camera recognizes and generates the sound according to the image.
Martin Mazanec with Georgij Bagdasarov
1 Granular synthesis: So-called "little grains" are the basic element, sound microparticles (waveform, or short samples of around 30-50ms in length) that are played so quickly one after another that human brain perceives it as continuous sound space. (Ed.)

Slight Change of Plans
Last week, I wrote about my next road trip, which begins tomorrow.
Since then, plans have changed slightly, but I'm still going to see at least three games between now and Aug. 7.
I'll still watch the New Hampshire Fisher Cats on July 28, and I'll still be in attendance to see the Portland Sea Dogs play on July 31.
After that, though, I'll be taking a short ballpark break and won't see the Vermont Lake Monsters until Aug. 7. I'm going to this game with a friend I haven't seen in close to a year, so I'm super pumped for that.
Once I get back from Vermont, I'll be home for three days and leave for another long road trip, beginning Aug. 11. On this one, I'll see 12 games in 12 days. I'll blog about the specific details in the next week or so, but I can definitely say it'll be an amazing trip!
I plan to blog and provide updates on Twitter during my next trip, so as always, keep checking me out here and @BallparkGuide.

Last Friday, a group of girls from Burlington attended the BP STEM event at Ron Dearing Engineering College in Hull, having been invited by HEY Childrens University.
There is a national shortage of girls taking up STEM subjects and moving into STEM careers which the government and businesses are trying to address. They had a fantastic day, which was organised and run by BP. There were many BP staff in attendance and the 'girls only' event consisted of various exciting tasks and activities.
They worked in teams to design towers which had to be sturdy enough to hold weights and also to be as tall and stable as possible. They had the opportunity to try VR head sets which was a great experience for many of them. They also created and tested various prototypes to make a balloon more aerodynamic and travel faster than any other, inspired by the current Blood Hound team (who are aiming to break the world land speed record).
It really was a fantastic day. We are hoping for some of the Science Professionals to visit us at Burlington in the near future.

Free Waste Management Seminar For Construction Industry March 5, 2008Posted by liverpoolchamber in Environment, Events.
Tags: Construction, Environment, event, free, Seminar, Waste
Construction firms are being urged to take early action before the planned enforcement of Site Waste Management Plans (SWMPs) before April 2008. These plans are due to become a legal requirement for all construction projects over £300,000 on 6th April 2008. Waste reduction is increasingly important for environmental and financial reasons. It is best to reduce waste at source, either by better design, or by improving operational efficiency. This may include the re-use or recovery of materials.
SWMPs provide a structure for systematic waste management at all stages of a project's delivery.
The key benefits to your business:
- Provides structured approach to management and recycling on site
- Reduces cost of waste management
- Increase profit margins
- Better control of regulatory risks relating to materials and wastes on site
- Compliance of contractual needs of public and private sector clients
- Help you to deal with any queries from environmental regulatory bodies
Colin Woods Associates will be delivering the presentation. So come along to this FREE event organised by Groundwork Merseyside to find out how you should implement a SWMP, and how you can save money by improving your environmental performance.
Wednesday 19th March 2008 8.30am – 11.30am at Liverpool Empire Theatre, Lime Street, Liverpool L1 1JE

North Dakota shoots up the list of top energy-producing states thanks to sound regulatory, legislative framework – will Pennsylvania follow its lead in the Marcellus?
Quick: What's the first thing that comes to mind when the subject of North Dakota comes up? Well, assuming it ever does, there's that famous Coen brothers film of the mid-90s, its status as home and birthplace of Yankee-legend Roger Maris, and of course, the majesty and mystique of the American treasure known as Mt. Rushmore (oops, wrong state).
But those notwithstanding, you know what else North Dakota is known for these days? Energy. Lots and lots of energy. In fact, thanks to the state's prolific Bakken Shale formation, North Dakota surged past Oklahoma and Louisiana this year to become the nation's fourth-biggest producer of petroleum. And if the current production trajectories hold steady, the Peace Garden state is expected to climb another spot or two on that list before the decade is out.
So how did a state with a total population roughly equivalent to Bucks County, PA pull this thing off? Well, for starters, it helps to be situated above a shale formation that geologists believe holds more than four billion barrels of recoverable oil.
But as folks in Pennsylvania have started to figure out, it takes more than the right geology to convert American energy resources into jobs, revenue and opportunity for those who need them. It takes a commitment by policymakers 10,000-feet above the formation to put the right kind of legislative and regulatory framework in place. And among the many policies that are helping North Dakota right now edge out the competition, the state's fair pooling protection statute stands out as something that's done as much as anything to ensure the rapid influx of capital to the Bakken continues.
Here's how the North Dakota statute on fair pooling (section 38-08-08) reads:
In the absence of voluntary pooling, the commission upon the application of any interested person shall enter an order pooling all interests in the spacing unit for the development and operations thereof. Each such pooling order must be made after notice and hearing, and must be upon terms and conditions that are just and reasonable, and that afford to the owner of each tract or interest in the spacing unit the opportunity to recover or receive, without unnecessary expense, his just and equitable share.
New to the fair pooling debate? Here's how it works: Thanks to advancements in technologies such as directional and horizontal exploration, shale producers today have the ability to tap thousands of feet (even a few miles) of lateral, energy-bearing formations from a single cluster of wells situated on a single drilling pad. We're talking about the ability to access 10 times the amount of oil and natural gas by drilling one-tenth (or fewer) the number of wells.
But what happens if several individual landowners lease their land to several different energy companies? What happens if one or two landowners out of 50 or 60 decide not to lease to anyone at all? Enter fair pooling protection: a tool used by the states to organize scattered parcels of land into units that can be efficiently developed for the benefit of all. North Dakota's got it. So does New York, Ohio, Oklahoma and Arkansas. And Pennsylvania's got some version of it on the books too — but unfortunately, not a version that's up-to-date with the realities involved in modern-day shale gas exploration.
Of course, on at least one critical issue facing shale producers across the country right now, regulators in North Dakota stand shoulder-to-shoulder with their counterparts in Pennsylvania: They both believe the authority to regulate key shale technologies such as hydraulic fracturing should remain with the states. Here's how the North Dakota governor handled the question when it was brought up earlier this month in a series of state meetings with EPA:
Gov. John Hoeven has had a series of meetings with Environmental Protection Agency leaders as the agency moves forward with a process that could end in its regulation of an oil drilling process known as [hydraulic] fracturing. … The message Hoeven wants to send to the EPA is "we can regulate fracturing very well, thank you very much."
And just so you have it handy, here's how Scott Perry, director of DEP's Bureau of Oil and Gas Management, described the situation in a column he authored for the Ft. Worth Oil & Gas Basin magazine last month (subscription required):
Nothing being done to produce the Marcellus is new to Pennsylvania. It certainly isn't the deepest formation to be developed …. And , despite popular opinion it certainly isn't the first formation that needed to be hydraulically fractured to stimulate production. … The [PA DEP] has a successful history of overseeing the environmentally protective development of the commonwealth's oil and gas resources."
So, sure: The excitement in North Dakota right now may be focused on oil, and the opportunities in Pennsylvania may be focused on natural gas. But both states find themselves today well-positioned to leverage the promise and potential of homegrown shale resources into thousands of jobs for their residents, and billions and billions in taxes, revenues and royalties for state governments and local landowners.
So maybe we've got more in common with our friends from the Peace Garden state than we thought. And especially as it relates to the implementation of fair pooling protections relevant to shale, here's to hoping we find a way to have even more in common in the future.

Although I hate the cold, I do love an excuse to eat a warm and hearty soup or stew. Truly, that's the only redeeming quality of winter in my opinion. I mean, who wants a big bowl of gumbo in the summer? Well, me actually, but it gets your house steamy and makes you all warm inside. Not exactly what you are going for when it's 98F outside with 95% humidity. But on one of those crisp winter days, when you've got a fire in the fireplace and a good movie on Netflix, a good soup or stew is just right.
And apparently all of the food sites that I follow are in on my great love. Every single one published article after article about wonderful soups a few weeks ago. Saveur is one of my favorites. They recently reran an article online about the soups of Mexico and another about various gumbo recipes. I loved the gumbo idea and hadn't made a "real" one before. Some were super simple like your mama would have made out on the bayou, and others were clearly geared towards high end fine dining, but all looked wonderful so I decided to try one.
Now, I have to admit that I'm not always a gumbo purist. In my opinion, a true gumbo should absolutely have okra in it. And I've eaten those gumbos. But I tend to eat AROUND the okra. It's just not something I love. It's a bit too slimy for my taste but I do recognize that it is a good thickener. So when I saw a recipe that was more about the roux than anything else, I was intrigued and decided to go for it on a nice, brisk Sunday afternoon. And no okra. Yay for me!
This is a Sunday afternoon kind of recipe, y'all. You start out by cooking a whole chicken in a pot with a bunch of aromatics, thus making both the chicken and the cooking liquid for your gumbo. So although not difficult, not something you can do without planning it in advance.
This really is all about the roux. Roux is a crazy thing. It's basically just cooked flour and fat but you've got to do it slowly and carefully or it just becomes burned flour and that's nasty. And unfortunately, there's a very fine line between burned and brown so you have to really watch it carefully as you cook so as not to ruin your whole dish. You are going to cook that roux for at LEAST 30 minutes (mine took almost an hour to get just right) so pour your self a glass
or three of wine or grab a beer and plan to hang out. It'll be worth it in the end.
Of course, because this is a Cajun dish, you are going to have your trinity of onion, celery and bell pepper. This is actually Holy Trinity because of the addition of some garlic. Once you have your roux made, this will come together in about 20 minutes, so chop all of your veggies while the chicken is cooking and start your roux at least an hour before you want to eat. It's a bit of time in the kitchen but your warm tummy and slightly spicy mouth will thank you. It also helps that Mardi Gras is going on right now with Mardi Gras actually falling on Tuesday the 9th. I made this on Sunday and rounded it out with a big old King Cake to complete the celebration. So make this now or hang on to the recipe until next year when you throw the mother of all Mardi Gras parties.
Chicken and Andouille Gumbo (adapted from Saveur Magazine, March 21, 2013)
- 1 whole chicken, cut up
- 2 medium onions, one quartered, one finely diced
- 4 stalks celery, two cut in quarters, two finely diced
- 2 large carrots, cut in quarters
- 1 T whole black peppercorns
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 3 bay leaves, divided
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 C all purpose flour
- 1 large green bell pepper, finely diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb andouille sausage, sliced
- 1 T creole seasoning
- 1/2 t cayenne pepper (or less depending on how spicy you like it)
- 1 t chopped fresh thyme
- 1 T Louisiana hot sauce (I like Crystal)
- salt and black pepper, to taste
- cooked white rice
- scallions or hot sauce for serving, optional
Place chicken pieces, quartered onions, celery halves and carrot halves in very large stock pot. Add peppercorns, two of the bay leaves, and thyme springs. Cover with water (about 10 cups). Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30-45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from pot and allow to cool. Strain stock and discard solids leaving stock over low heat until ready to use. (If you need to use this same pot for your gumbo, it's okay to just set the stock aside. I just like to have it simmering right there ready to go when I need it). When chicken is cool enough to handle, pull meat from the bone and shred (I usually do this while I'm cooking the veggie part of this dish). Reserve meat for later.
In a cast iron dutch oven or large stock pot, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until nice and smooth. Stir with a wooden spoon (or your whisk if you prefer) for 20-45 minutes or until very dark. It should smell nutty but not burned and it should be about the color of milk chocolate.
Slowly stir in remaining bay leaf, diced onions, celery, peppers and garlic (the first time I made this, the cool, damp veggies caused the roux to seize up, so try to have them at room temp and add slowly and gradually to avoid this). Cook about 10 minutes or until vegetables are beginning to soften. Add andouille, creole seasoning, cayenne, hot sauce and thyme leaves. Cook about 5 minutes or until fat is beginning to render from andouille. Gradually stir in around 5-6 C of reserved chicken stock, stirring well after each addition (you can save any remaining stock for another use). Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring until thickened, about 10-15 minutes. Taste and if you still taste the flour or if it's a little thick, add more chicken stock. Add reserved chicken and continue to simmer for about five minutes or until chicken is warmed through.
Serve with white rice and garnish with scallions (which I forgot to buy) if desired. Add extra hot sauce as needed.
*Just a side note, Chef J thought this dish really wanted some shrimp. And next time I make this, I might just throw some shrimp in there at the end (peeled shrimp will cook in about three minutes). Even The Boy, who doesn't like shrimp, thought that the flavor would have been a little deeper with some shrimp in there. Sigh. . . I live with a couple of food critics. That said, if you want to throw in a half pound of shrimp, I'd peel them and then toss them with about a tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning. Let them hang out in the fridge while you cook everything else and add them after the chicken. Cook until just pink.

The Walking Dead is blowing up big time. And with fame and fortune come action figures. McFarlane offered up some pretty flawed figures (see my review of two of them here), but much more exciting are Diamond Select Toys upcoming minimate line.
Minimates are tiny block figures, but expertly detailed and completely interchangeable. They've been around for 10 years and have covered a number of licenses, so there are lots of options out there if you want to match Rick Grimes up against other pop culture icons.
The first wave of figures are due to come out in September and feature Rick, Dale, Shane, Glenn, and a bunch of zombies. But before they hit stores a special San Diego Comic Con exclusive set is out right now.
The set features a Battle-Damaged Rick coupled with a casually dressed "Vacation" Zombie.
If you're familiar with Minimates you already have an idea of what you're getting as they all share a basic body frame. If you don't care for Minimates or block figures in general you won't like this set, but if you do this is a pretty fantastic buy.
Both figures are well designed. Rick looks appropriately pissed considering he's just lost a hand and he's going a bit nuts at this point in the comic. The figure captures his look perfectly. He's got a inconvenient right-handed holster consistent with the comic.
I don't think that the zombie is pulled directly from the comic, but I can't say for sure considering that individual zombies don't get a lot of coverage in the book. Regardless he's a nice undead figure. He's got a good bit of damage to his body and portions of the figure are done in a clear plastic, indicating where he's got some missing pieces. He's designed to be missing an arm, but also comes with the arm so you've got the option in how you want him displayed.
Overall, this is a great set that's got me really excited for the full line-up. It is a SDCC exclusive, but it's pretty readily available for about 9 bucks. Two reliable sites where you can pick it up are lukestoystore.com or bigbadtoystore.com
***Maximum Zombie Minimates are also still available out there and make a nice companion piece to begin to build an adorable zombie horde***

text: In Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon, Maddy is allergic to everything. Her air is purified before she can breathe it, every guest is cleaned before she meets him or her, she can't even step outside. But she can look outside and one day she sees a boy move in next door. His name is Olly and he's wild and free and everything Maddy's life is not. They begin an email correspondence–but will that be enough? Soon Maddy longs to adventure into the world with him–but she will die if she leaves her house. She wonders: is death a small price to pay for life? (I won't spoil the ending–read it for yourself and then check out the new movie!)

Popular passages
Page 89 - Then shall the righteous man stand in great boldness before the face of such as have afflicted him, and made no account of his labours. When they see it they shall be troubled with terrible fear, and shall be amazed at the strangeness of his salvation, so far beyond all that they looked for. And they repenting and groaning for anguish of spirit, shall say within themselves...
Page 124 - JESUS hath now many lovers of His heavenly kingdom, but few bearers of His cross.
Page 60 - Whatsoever is brought upon thee take cheerfully, and be patient when thou art changed to a low estate. For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity.
Page 190 - Lord, to deliver me; for, wretched that I am, what can I do, and whither shall I go without Thee...
Page 202 - I, even I, am he that comforteth you : who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass...
Page 136 - Be surety for thy servant for good: Let not the proud oppress me. 123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, And for the word of thy righteousness. 124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, And teach me thy statutes. 125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, That I may know thy testimonies.
Page 45 - O God, who art the truth, make me one with thee in everlasting charity.
Page 142 - This people draws near to me, they honour me with their lips, but their heart is far from me ; but in vain they worship me, teaching the commands and doctrines of men.
Page 97 - All the glory and beauty of Christ are manifested within, and there he delights to dwell; his visits there are frequent, his condescension amazing, his conversation sweet, his comforts refreshing, and the peace that he brings passeth all understanding.
Page 75 - No man can safely go abroad, that does not love to stay at home ; no man can safely speak, that does not willingly hold his tongue ; no man can safely govern, that would not cheerfully become subject ; no man can safely command, that has not truly learned to obey ; and no man can safely rejoice, but he that has the testimony of a good conscience.

Red Sea
Our four-year fieldwork campaign in Saudi Arabian coastal waters (2006-2009) was a collaborative research effort embracing the Foundation's Science Without Borders® Program. An interdisciplinary team of international research scientists utilized the M/Y Golden Shadow to assess the coral reef resources of the Saudi Arabian Red Sea coastline. Our first destination in the Red Sea was the Farasan Islands in 2006, followed by Ras Al-Qasabah in 2007, Al Wajh and Yanbu in 2008, and Farasan Bank in 2009. The primary purpose of the expeditions were to enhance and expand upon existing marine resource habitat maps significantly and to identify areas of rich biodiversity for management considerations.
Throughout the Red Sea campaign, we combined sophisticated remote sensing technologies (satellite and aircraft sensors) with field surveys to generate habitat maps of coral reefs. This raw data would later be processed into GIS maps of shallow-water marine habitats of the Saudi Arabian Red Sea and published in our Red Sea Atlas. These resulting high-resolution maps create a world of possibilities for use in coastal zone management, resource monitoring, and future scientific research.

Sans Soleil (1982), a film by Chris Marker, seems to have missed all the real purposes of a documentary film: Truth Telling, Propaganda, Direct Cinema, and Cinema Verite. In fact, Sans Soleil, although categorized as a documentary, is really an essay film focused on the concepts of time, space, reality and memories. Through out the film, various fragments of memories is played back to the audience as the primary narrator reads a letter or recall certain memories. The memories shown ranged from the sightings of life in Africa to the impressions of a bustling Tokyo city, with the three children of the narrator serving as the opening and closing shot. Upon first view, it is hard to grasp any plot to the film, however, through careful observation, a theme and perhaps author's artistic message can be interpreted and understood.
The video taken for the film are all real people and real places, this fact determined that it is to be categorized as a documentary. As for the narrations, it is most likely the director's added conceptual piece aiding to the video images. This added poetry is what makes this film an essay film. Together with the images and narration, the film is shown in a montage of intersecting memories. These memories are somewhat striking, never dull or like "everyday life". The sight of Africa is a fresh view of life for many audiences, the weird Japanese culture also proved interesting to the curious crowd. A few scene proved quite shocking, like the raw image of a dead child covered with maggots and the scenery of raw animal sexes. These imagery are striking because they are real, they are not some fake fictional production. Everytime I recall those segments of the movie, I get a sicken stomach. But I guess for the narrator, it is an impressive sight as well in their life. It is therefore safe to assume that this film is about fragments of life, a poetry of the memory we retain of impressive things. And with the three children, a female narrator and a male mail sender, we can assume this is the memory of the family. The directory's main idea however, is clearly defined in the second to last narration:
"Then I went down into the basement where my friend—the maniac—busies himself with his electronic graffiti. Finally his language touches me, because he talks to that part of us which insists on drawing profiles on prison walls. A piece of chalk to follow the contours of what is not, or is no longer, or is not yet; the handwriting each one of us will use to compose his own list of 'things that quicken the heart,' to offer, or to erase. In that moment poetry will be made by everyone, and there will be emus in the 'zone.'" – markertext.com
Alas confirmed by the master himself, this film as intended by the director is a poetry of the scenes that "quicken the heart" from our memory, that were either to be forgotten or retained. And indeed, If I was the narrator, I will try to forget the dead child, and the weird images of animal sexual fetishes. But I would retain images of my children, like the director did having the children shot serving as both opening and closure as if they're the most important. In the end, this film feels human, it sees human and it describes human. It is human, for the memories are human.
I can't help but wonder does this little Japanese girl realize that she has been immortalized by this film?

As I've not written on here for a while (slap wrist) I thought it best to do a post and update everyone on how I am and what I've been up to.
I am still feeling bitter about the negative feedback I received about my book, I know at this present time I have TWENTY THREE 5-star reviews but the 1 x 1 star and 1 x 2 star, are really getting to me still.
It's taken me a long time to write this as I didn't want to end up rambling and ranting but the 1 star review really hit me like a smack in the face. People say you should focus on the positives and not the negatives and at the time I had 17 or so gleaming 5* reviews, but it was so unexpected! I was just checking my Amazon page as per usual and it said 18 reviews which was 1 more than the previous evening so I eagerly clicked on to read what wonderful things someone had said about me this time and BAM… 1 star with the title 'awful'. It read as follows:
I had high hopes for this book but it was awful! I dont know why people are saying its an honest account, I find the author whiney and self centred. There is nothing useful about this book, a complete waste of money. dont bother!
I stopped breathing. This was someone who had read my book? I had spent two years of my life writing, re-structuring, editing, scrutinising, compiling the perfect hints and tips section, and harassing ladies I know to give me their pregnancy and birth stories as I know no two pregnancies and births are the same, to create the 'perfect' pregnancy companion and this lady had read this very same book??
So I did what any sane 27 year old would do and cried. Hysterically.
I also wrote Tweets with a few swear words thrown in for good measure. My friend Charlie (@charlieplunkett author of: The True Diary of a Bride-to-be, The True Diary of a Mum-to-be, The True Diary of Baby's First Year and 100 Little Words on Parenthood) called me straight away, not that I could speak through the hysterical childish sobs. Luckily 15 minutes later she had calmed me down and my voice was back to normal, bar the bunged up nose and the random hiccup-things a child has after a raging tantrum.
It took days to shake off that horrible back cloud, someone HATED my book – not dislike, not "I won't read that one again." Nope, took the time to go online and slate it good and proper. The thing that really got to me was that it wasn't even an Amazon Verified purchase so she most probably didn't even read my book.
The next bad review was from a lady called Emily – Verified purchase so she had actually bought it – she gave 2 stars and it read:
This mainly focuses on the lady's seemingly doomed relationship with the father of her child which overshadows any actual pregnancy information or stories. There is a good collection of her friends' birth stories which is the redeeming factor of the book but I found it all a rather depressing read to be honest!
That I can deal with, not a personal attack, just criticism. I responded to re-writing some of the blurb on Amazon to:
*WARNING* this book is not sugar coated, I do not lead a perfect life and the future of my relationship is uncertain – I hope this will make people who have the wonderful, loving husband and the perfect(ish) planned pregnancy see a different side to pregnancy, and those in a similar situation relate to parts of what they are reading – above all I hope you have a great time devouring my honest account.
I knew that when I wrote and published my book I left myself wide open to public criticism, but I never expected to feel physically winded – like a punch in the stomach. When pregnancy is such a stressful and emotional time in a woman's life, putting pen to paper is so hard, trying to describe how terrible you feel for most of it, coming to terms with changing relationships, changing body, changing life – everything is so unstable. So for me to pour my heart out and be so brutally honest when I felt most vulnerable I thought was brave and I thought by sharing it may help women in similar situations.
Above all, I felt the comments unnecessary this is why they have lingered with me for so long – never mind turning my glowing 5 star average into a 4 ½ star average. Grumble..
Anyway, my book 'Mummy Diaries: Pregnancy – stumbling into the unknown' is doing well, currently #10 in the Amazon Bestsellers chart for Motherhood on Kindle so I'm happy about that. I am running a May Promotion where my book is just 77p so grab it while you can and enjoy if you haven't already! Make your own mind up 🙂

Steppe wisent
The steppe bison,[1] or steppe wisent (Bison priscus), is an extinct bison. It lived on steppes in Europe, Central Asia, Beringia, and North America during the Quaternary. It is believed that it evolved somewhere in South Asia, That would mean it appeared at about the same time and region as the aurochs, with which its descendants are sometimes confused.
|Steppe wisent
Temporal range: Pleistocene
1.8 mya – 11,000 ya
|Bison priscus
|Scientific classification
|Binomial name
|†Bison priscus
The steppe wisent became extinct in the Pleistocene. It was replaced in Europe by the modern wisent species. It was replaced in America by Bison latifrons, then later Bison antiquus), and finally the modern American bison.[2]
Steppe wisent occasionally appear in cave painting. They are in the famous Cave of Altamira and Lascaux. They have also been found in naturally ice-preserved form.[2][3]

Quantum 'rounds out' rehab offering
EXETER, Pa., and BELGRADE, Mont. - Pride Mobility Products and Quantum Rehab believe their acquisition of Kids Up this month makes them a stronger contender in the pediatric mobility market.
Pride and Quantum have pediatric power mobility products in their line-up, but Kids Up adds manual mobility and various seating and positioning products.
"We've always had a passion for pediatrics, and it's something that we've wanted to be better at," said Jay Brislin, Quantum product & clinical development director. "This is the first step of truly starting a nice pediatric mobility line."
Kids Up has become a division of Quantum Rehab. The company and its products, like the Rock 2 and Rock 3 wheelchairs, will retain their names; and manufacturing, order processing, quoting and shipping will still take place at its facility in Belgrade. Several of the company's employees, including Eli Anselmi, sales consultant, and Lee Johnson, manager of production planning/customer service, will remain onboard.
Pride and Quantum saw an opportunity to grow their pediatric line after learning that Kids Up had closed its doors in December, Brislin said.
"There were a lot of providers and consumers that were upset about this," he said. "Because these products really changed people's lives."
Pride and Quantum look forward to getting Kids Up products back into the field, especially the Reaction Dynamic Seating System, which allows kids to bend or straighten in their chairs while maintaining proper positioning and support, and the LifeForm line of positioning products like lateral thoracic supports.
"They launched LifeForm just prior to going out of business, so we're really excited about that," said Megan Kutch. Quantum applications and clinical development manager.
In the next few years, Pride and Quantum plan to take Kids Up's products to the "next level" and develop new pediatric mobility products, Brislin said.
"We're really rounding ourselves out as a rehab company," he said.

Planning on setting up a vegetarian type website and need a vegaterian related domain name to suit? Look at the list above and make a selection.
Definition of Vegetarian: A Vegetarian is a person who does not eat or does not believe in eating meat, fish, fowl, or, in some cases, any food derived from animals, as eggs or cheese, but subsists on vegetables, fruits, nuts, grain, etc.
Some vegetarians choose to also refrain from wearing clothing which has involved the death of animals, such as leather, silk and fur. Veganism, sometimes called "strict vegetarianism", excludes all animal products from diet and attire, whether or not their production has involved the actual death of an animal (dairy, eggs, honey, wool, silk and down feathers).
Vegetarians have varied motivations for living as a vegetarian, including religious, cultural, financial, ethical, political, environmental, economic, and health concerns.
Vegetarianism is the practice of not consuming the flesh of any animal, with or without also involving other animal derivatives, such as dairy products or eggs.

That is, until she walks in and sees me with a smoking gun in my fist and blood on my hands.

I'll start a war.
I'll break every vow.
I'll move heaven and hell to make her mine.
F**k the rules, I'm taking her instead.

The Church of England is urging Christians to give up single-use plastics during Lent, in a bid to cut the environmental damage it can cause.
Worshippers have been offered tips to cut plastic use for each day up to Easter, such as choosing a fountain pen over a plastic ballpoint pen and buying music electronically rather than on CD.
The Church linked it to a Christian calling to "care for God's creation".
The calendar of tips has been sent to each of the Church's 42 dioceses.
Each week of the Lent Plastic Challenge has a theme, for example food and drink, kitchen, clothing and travel.

Fund Raiser – Items are available at the church for pickup. They can be picked up any day during school hours. I would recommend not sending them home with children on the bus. Arrangements can be made with your supervisor as to after school hours that pickup will be available if you need.
We will be having a Christmas party on the final day of school before Christmas break, December 20th. During that time, we are asking each family to send in a snack to share with the other students. Instead of a gift exchange this year, we will be doing a card exchange. Each student will be given another student's name, and they will buy or make a card to give to that student. We also would like each student to buy or make a card for a wounded warrior. We will address and mail the cards here at the school but ask that cards be ready to mail by the Christmas party.
Christmas break will start after the party on December 20th, which is a full day of school, and will extend through January 4th. School will resume on Monday, January 7th.
Please continue to send in Box Tops for Education and Chick-Fil-A receipts from Eastgate and Westmoreland Mall. December's Scripture is Colossians 1:15-21.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Design is in Canberra's DNA. From the time of the Griffin's visionary design a century ago, to iconic experimental architecture of the 1950s and 60s, through to contemporary and sustainable developments today, Canberra has been — and always will be — a living design laboratory.
We are seeking new photography which responds to Canberra's unique design identity. Geometry is the theme of this year's DESIGN Canberra program, referencing Canberra's distinctive form. Triangles, concentric circles and arcs connect major avenues and underlie the city's early planning. Geometry is everywhere we look: inscribed on the earth, in our buildings and our city's plan.
Design lovers, architecture enthusiasts and photographers are encouraged to take a closer look at their surroundings and draw out the details of this city's unique geometry for the chance to have their work included in a DESIGN Canberra exhibition and to win great prizes from Ted's Cameras, Photo Access, Canberra City Framing and Better Photography Magazine. Up to six finalists will be selected to have their work professionally printed and framed for inclusion in the exhibition, so it's important that you have a high resolution copy of your image (300dpi, 5mb) available if selected.
Entry is easy, simply follow @designcanberrafestival on instagram, upload entries and tag each submission with #designcanberra and #dcphotocomp2018 (your profile will also need to be set to public)
The open award category is open to anyone aged 16 or over, just add #open to your image to be considered in this category. High school and college students in year levels 7-12 are invited to submit works in the student category by adding #student to their entry.
Submissions are now open, and will close at 4pm on Wednesday 3 October 2018. Winners will be announced at Creative Careers, hosted by Radford College on Tuesday 6 November 2018. Creative Careers is a DESIGN Canberra event which offers a chance for people of all ages to hear from leading creatives offering tips and insights into building a sustainable and satisfying career pathway in the design arts.
This project is made possible with the generous support of DESIGN Canberra sponsor Radford College and prize sponsors Canberra City Framing, Ted's Cameras, Photo Access and Better Photography Magazine.

Kareena Kapoor Khan to star in double role in the Hindi remake of Anushka Shetty's Telugu horror Arundhati?
It won't be wrong to say Kareena Kapoor Khan is a bonafide superstar. The gorgeous actress, with sheer talent, efforts and of course good looks, has managed to become a beloved star. With films like Good Newwz and Takht in her kitty, Kareena, who turned 39 on Saturday, seems to be on top of the list among filmmakers, rightfully. And now, as she is busy enjoying her birthday weekend with her husband Saif Ali Khan and son Taimur Ali Khan, reports of a leading daily suggested that the actress is being considered for the Hindi remake of Anushka Shetty's Telugu blockbuster Arundhati. As per the report, Kareena is on the list of contenders for the lead actress. Arundhati is being remade after 10 years since the release. A source close to the film informed the daily that incase Kareena's dates don't work out for the makers, Anushka Sharma will be considered for the double role.
"The film is finally being made in Hindi after 10 years, as the subject has a period feel to it and will be very relevant. If Kareena's dates don't work out, Anushka Sharma could be an option. When the film went to Anushka first, she could not do it due to her busy schedules and contractual obligations," the source told the daily.
Anushka Shetty and Sonu Sood in a still from Arundhati
Recommended Read: 'I am dying to play a double role like Sridevi in Chaalbaaz,' says Kareena Kapoor Khan
Arundhati was a Telugu fantasy horror period drama starring Anushka Shetty as Arundhati and Jejjamma. The story revolves around Arundhati, a princess who digs out the horrifying truth about her grandmother named Jejjamma(Anushka herself) being raped by Pasupathi(Sonu Sood). Arundhati's grandmother, after putting an end to Pasupathi, in order to prevent his spirit from haunting her future generations, buries him with mantras. However, three generations later, Pasupathi's spirit returns. Arundhati then takes upon the challenge to erase the existence of the evil spirit. The film was directed by Kodi Ramakrishna.
Well, if we go down the memory lane, Kareena, recently expressed her desire to do a double role and now, holla, she is being considered for one! However, there is no information on who will be directing the Hindi film and under which production banner.
