IFC Adopts New Environmental and Social Standards
Author: Intl. Finance Corporation (IFC)
The Board of Directors of the International Finance Corporation adopted today new environmental and social standards for the organization. The new standards build upon the environmental and social requirements that IFC currently applies to private sector projects it finances in the developing world. A new policy on disclosure, adopted at the same time, will increase transparency requirements...In approving the new set of standards, IFC's Board requested some refinement of the language. Accordingly, the final version of the Performance Standards and Disclosure Policy will be issued as a complete text in the coming weeks.
Press Release: IFC's New Standards - A Risky Step for People and Planet
Author: Bank Information Center, Bretton Woods Project, BothEnds, Environmental Defense, Forest Peoples Programme, Friends of the Earth-US, Indian Law Resource Center, International Accountability Project
Warning that the International Finance Corporation's overhaul of its social and environmental standards relies too heavily on promises of good intentions, international civil society organizations have called the IFC's new approach a risky experiment that could leave the people and environments affected by its projects more vulnerable than they were before...IFC's new standards do not specify when consultation with local populations affected by its operations will take place, do not adequately protect the rights of indigenous peoples to their lands and natural resources—including their right to free prior informed consent, undermine existing World Bank policy with respect to resettlement, and do not require independent assessment and verification of project impacts, relying heavily instead on companies' self-reporting.

How Do I Socialize My Dog & When Should I Start?
When we say socialize your dog, we mean teaching your puppy to mingle with humans and other animals. Socializing your dog will help them adjust to their surroundings via exposing your pet to different people and pets, as well as to a good variety of situations, sounds, environments, and objects.
Socializing your dog should begin as soon as possible, as it will teach dogs to become used to normal daily events and to react positively to their environments.
Socialization Includes Huge Benefits for Dogs
When he or she is properly socialized, your dog will adjust to changes in the surrounding environment without becoming disturbed by what is seen, heard, and encountered, resulting in good manners and happiness.
- Your dog will not be fearful of new people, pets, places, and experiences.
- Socialization will shape your dog into a good companion who is well-domesticated and well-behaved for life.
- The possibility of your dog developing separation anxiety is greatly reduced.
- If your dog must leave you for some reason, he or she will have an easier time adjusting to a new caregiver and home.
Dog Training Should Start Early for Best Results
- It is best to start socialization in the first four months of your dog's life. Puppies are very impressionable and will try hard to please their pet parents.
- Dog training will have to continue throughout your pet's life, although it should begin right away—the sooner, the better. At different stages of development and whenever introducing new experiences, you will have to teach your dog new social skills, for example not to chew on your shoes and not to snap at children.
- If your dog begins to jump up on you or on guests as a greeting, move in close to reduce the jumping distance and firmly and loudly say, "No jumping." Instruct your guests not to speak or make eye contact until your pooch has become calm. Give treats and praise when that happens. You can read more dog jumping prevention tips here.
- If your dog chews or bites, firmly and loudly say, "no," and stop the activity, or remove the object being chewed (or remove the dog from the area).
- Avoid visiting dog parks until your pooch has had all of their required vaccinations. You don't want your puppy to play with dogs that may be unhealthy. Create other safe opportunities for your dog to meet and mingle with other dogs.
- Don't believe the phrase "you can't teach an old dog new tricks." Actually, you can! Even if your dog was not with you during those early, most teachable months and years, you can still help your older dog form new, positive associations with what may have been frightening experiences in the past. Slowly introduce your dog to new sights, sounds, smells, and people, and offer treats and praise to help your pooch overcome unpleasant associations.
There are Serious Risks for Dogs Not Properly Socialized
These are the characteristics of adult dogs who have not been properly socialized:
- Fear of many situations such as playful children, or riding in a car
- Aggression towards strangers and other animals
- Anxiety when hearing unusual sounds or having new experiences
- Antisocial behaviour including not being able to interact comfortably with new people or animals in general
- Separation anxiety in some cases
It is a risk to pets if behavioural issues result from insufficient socialization, meaning your dog will be less safe if they're always afraid of strangers or if they're constantly unfriendly to other animals. Socialization in dogs can reduce these risks in the following ways:
- If your dog becomes lost, your pooch will not be afraid of or run from people who try to rescue and care for your pet until you can be located.
- Your dog will not be hostile towards all dogs who approach him or her, and therefore will be less willing to fight more aggressive dogs.
Use These Steps to Successfully Socialize Your Dog
- Daily walks are important. Don't forget to bring poop bags and clean up after your dog when walking or in any public area. Take your pooch on a short leash for walks using different routes. This will help them encounter different sights and sounds and become used to traffic, animals, and people, both young and old. Don't forget that most humans, other than babies, are bigger than your dog.
- Start slowly with only a few new experiences and a few new human and animal encounters each week. Gradually move to bigger crowds and more public experiences.
- Over time, make sure your pup gets used to having his or her body handled and that they react well to affectionate pats and ear and tail fondling. Don't push these actions too fast and watch your dog for signs of nervousness such as heavy panting, yawning, tucking their tail between their legs, and straining on the leash.
- Your dog should become used to bodies of water—large and small—and puddles, beaches, parks, woods, and urban areas.
- Introduce the sights and sounds of bicycles, strollers, baby buggies, skateboards, trucks, buses, and cars, as well as Frisbees, footballs, and other toys.
- Make sure your pet becomes used to walking on different surfaces, such as grass, tile, cement, carpet, and hardwood.
- When your pet encounters some new sight or sound—a police siren, a raccoon, a pigeon—be calm, have treats ready and lots of praise: "Good dog," "Good boy," "Good girl." Remember, dogs can interpret your emotional state and if you are nervous or fearful, your dog will react the same way.
- Once your pet has had their required vaccinations, you are ready for the dog park where your puppy will meet new friends. Use caution and don't expect your little dog (if they are little) to enjoy meeting a huge one unless you are by his or her side. After your dog has made a new friend and behaved well, be sure and give your dog a treat and praise.
- When your dog is trained to come when you call and you are confident about it, you can take your pet to an off-leash park to meet new friends on his or her own under your supervision.
- Dog training classes are great for busy people who want specific instructions on training and whose schedules are limited. These classes also provide socialization opportunities with the other puppies and dogs.
Socialization, i.e. teaching your dog how to behave in various situations and environments with people and animals, will shape your dog into a happy, well-adjusted, and well-mannered companion who is obedient and confident. What could be better?

Arbitration Subpoena to Non-Party Allowed by U.S. District Court in Wisconsin
By Gregg Bertram
Whether an arbitrator may subpoena a non-party is murky, and the ambiguity sometimes requires litigation to clear up the extent of the arbitrator's authority.
Recently, in Maine Community Health Options v. Walgreen Co., Case No. 18-0009 (USDC W.D. Wis. Dec. 20, 2018) the court approved a subpoena to Walgreens, a non-party in an arbitration proceeding between Health Options, an insurer based in Maine, and Navitus, a pharmacy benefits manager based in Wisconsin.
Health Options contends that Navitus asked for reimbursement for inflated pharmaceutical prices, and the arbitration panel subpoenaed Walgreens – a retail pharmacy in Navitus' network in Maine – to produce the drug prices that it charged Navitus and that Health Options ultimately covered.
Walgreens' opposition to the subpoena on the grounds that its headquarters were more than 100 miles from the arbitration forum was rejected by the court. Instead, the court determined that Walgreens' headquarters in Deerfield, Illinois were within 100 miles of the arbitration forum in Madison, Wisconsin "as the crow flies.
The Wisconsin district court also concluded that it held personal jurisdiction over Illinois-based Walgreens because Health Options' assertion that it was injured by Walgreens' acts in Wisconsin – alleged inflated prices to Navitus that Navitus submitted for reimbursement – was sufficiently related to Health Options' arbitration claims. The court said that as Walgreens is contracted with Navitus, a Wisconsin-based company, it should have reasonably expected to be haled into a Wisconsin court.
The court further denied Walgreens' demand that Health Options pay its costs of compliance with the subpoena because it failed to provide an estimate of how much it would cost to gather the data and did not demonstrate that compliance would be unduly burdensome.
Cost is an important consideration when compelling a non-party to comply with a subpoena and courts are generally conscious that the added burden comes at a price. Non-parties should first estimate the time and expense associated with complying with the subpoena and provide that for the court's review. The court may require the party asking for the discovery to pay for the collection and delivery of the information, or may deny the request altogether if complying puts an unreasonable financial or resource strain on the non-party.

Dreamer's World January 06, 2019 – A Very Special Day
This is a special day. 19 years ago I met Hal for the very first time. I never thought that my life would end up as it has now. I was in a very dark place, and I didn't know if I was ever going to be happy again.
Then Hal came into my life. It was just supposed to be a simple date, but it turned into so much more than I could have expected. I was on my way to becoming an alcoholic because I was drinking to ease the pain in my life. Relationships had always failed, whether through my fault of the other person.
I agreed to the date for dinner and a movie, fully expecting to go through the same tired old routine only to end up disappointed and alone again afterward. 19 years ago today, something different happened to me.
I never believed in love at first sight, it never happened to me, but it did on that day. In the 19 years that Hal and I have been together, I have tried to explain to people when they ask, about how this happened. I honestly cannot put what happened into words.
Obviously, Hal and I continued to see each other after that first date. I fell for Hal in a big way, but I was still afraid to let him know how I really felt. After 3 weeks, Hal and I finally talked about our feelings and discovered that there was something special developing between us. It was the start of a beautiful friendship that has lasted until today.
19 years ago was a wonderful day. Today is the best day of my life.

The REZ Restaurant and Bar
Restaurant @ Lucky Star Casino - Concho
"Dendra Miller"
We went to Ace Water Park with a half day pass. Had a little trouble finding the road to the resort, but other than that, getting there was easy. The kids enjoyed themselves and there were plenty of lounge chairs for everyone that was at the park that day! Food and drink available on site, as well as adult beverages. The changing rooms were just restrooms, however and they were barely big enough to change clothes in. Since we were not staying overnight at the resort, it would've been nice to have a larger changing room and showers available to day guests. Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves and I would definitely recommend this water park for physically fit youngsters and adults alike who love water sports and like to challenge themselves.

Posterior Tibial Tendinopathy
Posterior Tibial Tendinopathy is a common cause of ankle and foot pain, not just in runners, but both active and inactive individuals. It will typically present as a vague pain, that is slow and progressive, but will intensify to the point where it will affect your day to day activities.
The Posterior Tibialis is a muscle originates from the posterior aspect of the tibia and fibula (shin bones), and courses diagonally towards the inside ankle bone. At this point the the tendinous portion of the muscle, passes behind the ankle bone and underneath the arch of your foot. It attaches to the foot like a hand to majority of the bones in the mid foot. The role of a healthy posterior tibialis muscles is plantar flexion of the ankle, inversion of the foot and elevating/stabilising your arch . Elevation of the arch locks the bones in your mid foot, so that the midfoot and hindfoot become 'locked'. This allows the calf muscles to act more efficiently during walking and running.
Typical symptoms
- Typically pain with follow the course of the tendon as it wraps around the inside ankle bone and underneath the foot
- Pain can range from a vague discomfort to intense ache
- Swelling, redness, and warmth can be present
- Pain is worse first steps in the morning, or after sitting for extended periods of time
- Pain will decrease with activity, but will return once you have stopped
So what causes this injury?
1. Poor/inappropriate footwear
You may feel that Podiatrists spend a lot of time talking about footwear, and that is because it is so important to wear the most appropriate shoe for the activity you are undertaking. The wrong footwear can be the instigating factor for the development of this injury
2. Inefficiencies within your foot mechanics
Over time and distance, our body develops compensations for previous injuries, restrictions in joint mobility/muscle flexibility, poor strength etc. This can lead poor loading patterns, and loss of efficiency. Greater strain is placed on the stabilising, and driving muscles as they have to work harder with each step. Eventually the muscles/tendons are overloaded, leading to injury.
3. Poor strength
Strength is vital to stress shielding, so if a muscle/tendon is not able to deal with the stress placed upon it, it will breakdown/become degenerative. With any overload injury, strength needs to be assessed through the localised area, and surrounding structures. In this case foot/ankle/leg plus lumbopelvic strength/control should all be assessed, to determine if it is a causative factor.
4. Training errors
Undertaking your own training program is absolutely fine, but you need to ensure that you are adhering to the training principles. Unfortunately, you may not be aware of these, and so your training program is putting you at risk of developing an overuse injury.
How do I get back to being active?
Great news! If you are proactive with seeking treatment, then the rehabilitation time is significantly less, compared to resting it and giving it time. Unfortunately, physiologically the posterior tibialis tendon has a low level of vascular supply, which means that is does naturally take longer to heal compared to muscles.
Your chosen Allied Health Professional should focus on identifying and addressing the causative factors, as well as treating the symptoms. This will ensure you have a complete rehabilitation and significantly reduce your risk of the injury recurring.

Jamaican Prime Minister Bruce Golding is being blasted at home and in London for remarks he made about gays and lesbians during an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation.
Golding condemned Britain and other Commonwealth countries for criticizing the treatment of gays in the Caribbean nation.
''Jamaica is not going to allow values to be imposed on it from outside,'' he said during the interview. Golding is in London on an official visit to the UK.
Asked if he would ever appoint an openly gay person to his cabinet the Prime Minister bristled, saying "never". Golding told the BBC that he has the right to make that decision and to form a Cabinet that represents the Jamaican people.
Golding has been a staunch supporter of maintaining Jamaica's sodomy law.
Gay sex is illegal in Jamaica, punishable by ten years in jail, with the possibility of hard labor.
Jason McFarlane, a spokesman for Jamaica Forum for Lesbians, All Sexuals and Gays (J-FLAG), said Golding's remarks were likely to incite more violence against gays in the country.
The situation for gays in the Caribbean nation has been of concern to other Commonwealth countries and international human rights groups for several years following a number of violent attacks.
Jamaica has been described as having the worst record of any country in the New World in its treatment of gays and lesbians.
One of the most recent attacks occurred on January 29 when a group of men approached a house where four males lived in the central Jamaican town of Mandeville, and demanded that they leave the community because they were gay, according to Jamaican human rights activists who spoke with the victims.
Later that evening, a mob returned and surrounded the house. The four men inside called the police when they saw the crowd gathering. The mob started to attack the house, shouting and throwing bottles.
Those in the house called police again and were told that the police were on the way. Approximately half an hour later, 15-20 men broke down the door and began beating and slashing the inhabitants.
Human Rights Watch, quoting local activists said that police did not arrive until a half hour after the mob had broken into the house – 90 minutes after the men first called for help.
One of the victims managed to flee with the mob pursuing. A Jamaican newspaper reported that blood was found at the mouth of a nearby pit, suggesting he had fallen inside or may have been killed nearby.
The police escorted the three other victims away from the scene; two of them were taken to the hospital. One of the men had his left ear severed, his arm broken in two places, and his spine reportedly damaged.
There have been no arrests.
The attack echoes another incident in the same town on Easter Sunday, April 8, 2007 when approximately 100 men gathered outside a church where 150 people were attending the funeral of a gay man.
According to mourners, the crowd broke the windows with bottles and shouted, "We want no battyman [gay] funeral here. Leave or else we're going to kill you. We don't want no battyman buried here in Mandeville."
Several mourners inside the church called the police to request protection. After half an hour, three police officers arrived.
Human Rights Watch said that instead of protecting the mourners, police socialized with the mob, laughing along at the situation.
A highway patrol car subsequently arrived, and one of the highway patrol officers reportedly told the churchgoers, "It's full time this needs to happen. Enough of you guys."
The highway patrol officers then drove off. The remaining officers at the scene refused to intervene when the mob threatened the mourners with sticks, stones, and batons as they tried to leave the service. Only when several gay men among the mourners took knives from their cars for self-defense did police reportedly take action by firing their guns into the air. Officers stopped gay men from leaving and searched their vehicles, but did not restrain or detain members of the mob, Human Rights Watch said.
More than 30 gay men are believed to have been murdered since 1997 J-FLAG says. In most of the cases the killers have never been brought to trial.
Arrests, however have been made in several cases which received international attention.
In 2004 Brian Williamson, Jamaica's leading LGBT civil rights advocate was brutally murdered. He had been stabbed at least 70 times in the neck. A 25 year old man is currently serving a life sentence for the murder.
In December 2005 Lenford "Steve" Harvey who ran Jamaica AIDS Support for Life was killed.
Harvey was shot to death on the eve of World AIDS Day. (story) His organization provided support to gay men and sex workers. Four men were arrested almost a year later.
In 2006 the bodies of two women believed to have been in a lesbian relationship were found dumped in a septic pit behind a home they shared. The killers of Candice Williams and Phoebe Myrie have not been caught.
Students at University of the West Indies in Kingston rioted last year as police attempted to protect a gay student and escort him from the campus. The incident began when the student was chased across the campus by another student who claimed the gay man had attempted to proposition him in a washroom.
The same year a young man plunged to his death off a pier in Kingston after reportedly being chased through the streets by a mob yelling homophobic epithets.
In February, 2007 three men in "tight jeans" and wearing what some witnesses described as makeup were cornered by a mob of 2000 in a drugstore. There were yells of "kill them" along with gay slurs and demands the three be sent out "to face justice". Police had to fire teargas into the crowd to rescue the three.
Reggae, or Jamaican dancehall music, is blamed for fueling homophobia. Reggae star BujuBanton's hit song Boom Boom Bye Bye which threatens gay men with a "gunshot in ah head".

Jimmy Rankin is one of the true originals in Canadian music. For his latest album, Moving East, he moved from Nashville to Nova Scotia, bringing the party to the kitchen.
Rankin, of course, is a renowned Canadian songwriter with a long string of hits for The Rankin Family and from his solo albums. He joined the family group as a young teen, and soon became co-lead singer and songwriter of such classics as "North Country," "You Feel The Same Way Too," and "Movin' On." His name is synonymous with the East Coast sound, and was one of the very first writers to bring it to a national and international audience. His 1994 Juno-winning single "Fare Thee Well Love" has taken on a life of its own having been sung by choirs around the globe and in 2013, voted the #1 East Coast song of all time by CBC listeners across Canada.
As a solo artist, he's been ruling the charts since his 2001 debut Song Dog, with such hits as "Followed Her Around," "Here in My Heart," and "Cool Car." His overcrowded mantle includes five Juno Awards, seven Canadian Country Music Awards, and a whopping 27 East Coast Music Awards.
His music has taken him around the world, and lead to writing partnerships with some of the world's best in Nashville and elsewhere. But after years spent down South, he knew it was time to pack up the family and head home.
Settled down in Joel Plaskett's New Scotland Yard studio in Dartmouth, N.S., they assembled an all-star team of East Coast talent, including string monster J.P. Cormier, fiddling sensation Ashley MacIsaac, and old-school Cape Breton pianist Hilda Chiasson. Rocker Plaskett might seem like a surprise choice to some, but he was perfect for what Rankin needed.
Special thanks to media partner Calgary Herald for their support.

So my second years found out that I am not going to be teaching them next year. But first a bit of self-analysis....
I get attached. Something in my nature makes any, job any activity I truly care about into a sort of personal relationship. I fall in love. That is sort of great, because it imbues my work with meaning and a heft. But it sort of sucks that many jobs cannot fulfil that need.
Teaching is the exception. Teaching children or adults is a labor of love, a bright stroke of fierce compassion against the dark background of the universe. It rocks and I love it. For me it will always be the Good Fight, what Buddhists call "right action". I know that I am a tad more dramatic/poetic than most of my surroundings, especially amongst the pragmatic, plain-dealers of the Netherlands, but as a French salesman once told me "il faut assumer ses passions": you have to own and honour the things that drive you.
I suspect that very many teachers love their classes. It is a work hazard in a profession that is almost a direct extension of parenting. It is the limb that the ancient process of raising children had to grow in order to fit our slowly-developing, complex offspring into the amazingly intricate world we have created. As time goes on that limb becomes ever longer and thicker: more skills, more flexibility and intricacy appears, earlier in a child's life. We teach environmental issues now at an age when I was still grappling with seasons.
This is a long preamble to what happened yesterday. Arif is one of my strongest mathematicians in the second year. He has the neat, square-cut build and impeccably trimmed thin moustache of his Turkish background, his mother's sharp analytical spirit (and love of mathematics) and a hard-working, thoughtful spirit gives me hope for the world.
It was strange to see such a person being tentative, unsure. He approached me delicately, respectfully at the beginning of class, "Mr Noyce, we heard a rumour... that you were fired?!" Arif is brave, but uncertain.
Ah.Hmmm. Time to deal with this.
Because I am a teacher, everything I do is an example. Every shifting, human moment of respectful, hopeful, stupid, angry, scatty, brilliant action is noted. It is my responsibility to make those moments good examples. How I handle this is as a lesson? What do I want to teach?
I address the class and tell them that I shall not be teaching them next year. I am not "fired" but my contract at this school has not been renewed. I am honest. I shall be at another school and no I do not yet know which one. I am cheerful and calm when faced with uncertainty and change. I take a moment to reveal to them that I had never taught before I taught them. I am transparent and open.
They are silent and a little shocked and even a bit sad. Natasha, whose strong opinions often flood out of her, exclaims "But, you DO this. They should fire Ms X instead." Heh. I explain that the school can hire someone who has more experience than me and a full teaching qualification. I teach them to understand and respect rational choices. I tell them that though we have sometimes butted heads, I think they are a great class, hard working and fun to know. I shall not forget them. I let them know I care and have a good opinion of them. It is most certainly not their fault.
Because I am a teacher, I teach all the time.
I shall miss them like crazy. A class full of children is a crash course in human foibles. It breaks you of the notion that any life could ever be like any other. It beats you over the head with the sweet, scary individuality of your fellow travellers and shows you how they triumph, fail, do good and bad things and trip over their own fixed notions. It has been like having an extended family and I give many, many damns about their happiness and futures. Too many. I shall have to learn to limit that. Nurses cannot grieve every wound and teachers have to to keep some distance too.
... and so we keep moving forward. Keep picking up and sorting. Being hopeful and gentle. Showing respect.
Always teaching, see?

Digital Marketing Trends for 2019
Hey NGAGERs, I hope you had a fantastic holiday, and that you are well-rested. It's time to get into gear again, and make your mark in 2019!
Last year was an exciting one for digital marketing. However, 2019 has some interesting developments ahead. Let's take a closer look:
Social Media
Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn are still the #1 'go-to' platforms. Even though Facebook had some trouble in terms of its data-breach saga last year, it still supersedes other social platforms for digital marketers. In addition, the Digital Marketing Institute has determined that Facebook's audience is maturing. That said, be very strategic with the campaigns you implement on Facebook.
Instagram remains an amazing platform for businesses to share their marketing message in the form of an HD image or enticing video. However, after much research, it has been noted that a large number of Facebook's younger audience is switching over to Instagram. This is unlikely to impact Facebook since it has Instagram, but again it's a trend that social media marketers have to be aware of.
The Rise of Chatbots
This is something I have been keeping a sharp eye on. According to Techopedia, a Chatbot is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) program that simulates interactive conversations with humans, based purely on predetermined user phrases and auditory or text-based signals. Chatbots can be used for basic customer service, and implemented on social media platforms.
Chatbots are growing in popularity due to their ability to share personalised, focused interactions, without putting too much of a strain on human resources. Most importantly, they give your audience peace of mind when they interact.
Videos, Videos, Videos
YouTube is by far the ideal platform to share your video marketing message. Users can be targeted based on keywords, interests, channels, and much more, meaning your video campaign is guaranteed to succeed. Users continue to favour YouTube over other social media platforms.
However, this doesn't mean you should neglect Facebook and the like. Lastly, an amazing benefit of video marketing is the ability to capture vast quantities of valuable data that can be analysed to determine how your video marketing efforts are paying off.
Content Will Always Be King!
Whether you writing content for social media or websites, etc., Content Marketing will always be an important element of digital marketing. However, Content Marketing is evolving. A move from general writing, with the aim of attracting broad interest, to analysing data in order to identify the intended recipients so that the quality of the content is more spot on, is the latest trend. I like to view this as Customised Content Marketing.
Email Marketing
Email Marketing is here to stay, and remains an important digital medium for companies. Again, similar to Content Marketing, Email Marketing is evolving from general emails to automation and personalisation. Setting up email automation that is triggered when someone shows interest in a specific product/category by sharing an incentive or tutorial that's super-personalised is highly effective.
Voice Commands
Machines are finally catching up with the way people search, shop, and discover new things. Thanks to Siri, Alexa, Google, and other innovations, voice-searching is on the rise. This means that websites, for example, now have to be optimised for voice commands. And let's keep in mind that, just like everything else, there are some cons attached. For example, voice searching doesn't provide an abundance of results in the same way that text-based search shares does.
In Conclusion
These are the main digital marketing trends we should be on the lookout for in 2019. From my perspective, I already see digital marketing platforms evolving as they become smarter. If you have any comments or insights to add to this fascinating topic, please feel free to contact us here at NGAGE. We would love to hear from you!

The FBI has announced that they have raided City Hall in San Juan Puerto Rico for corruption in how federal funds were used in various schemes. The mayor, Carmen Yulín Cruz spent the entire hurricane crises on TV criticizing Trump, and apparently, supplies from the United States was mishandled and much of the supplies were never distributed and went bad.
Now, people in her government are suspected of fixing contracts and falsifying documents. This had to do with federal money or it would not be the jurisdiction of the FBI. The FBI said at least 10 agents but less than 50 participated in the raid, that went on for hours.
San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz criticized the president for what she said was a lack of proper government response to Hurricane Maria, but the FBI is investigating allegations that she or other government officials acted improperly when granting ]
FBI spokesperson Carlos Osorio told the Washington Examiner that more than 10 agents, but fewer than 50, raided the municipal offices Tuesday. He called the operation "pretty big" and said it was conducted over several hours.
He indicated that the raid was targeting members of the city government, but not the mayor specifically.
"We have received allegations that they have been fixing contracts, that they are falsifying documents," Osorio said, "these having to do with federal funds because if not, we would not have any jurisdiction.
"They're not directed at the mayor, but against people that work at the tower," he added.
If the mayor was not involved in the graft, it would probably mean that she did not monitor how the money was spent. What kind of mayor is that?

Activist fired two shots at officers outside middle school
The police shooting of a former University of Oregon student has been ruled "legally justified," according to a district attorney.
Charles Landeros, a former student activist and U.S. Army veteran, pulled a gun and fired twice at a police officer during a struggle before the officer shot Landeros in the head, the Daily Emerald reports.
In a statement, Lane County District Attorney Patricia Perlow found that both police officers involved in the incident were "appropriate" in their determination that Landeros, who identified with they/their/them pronouns, according to the Emerald, was causing a disturbance outside his child's middle school Jan. 11 over a custody argument. The two officers attempted to place Landeros under arrest but he refused to leave the school premises.
The situation escalated as Landeros resisted arrest and pulled out a firearm, firing twice at the officers. Both shots missed, and one of the officers shot Landeros dead after a struggle. Two civilian witnesses confirmed Landeros shot at the officers before being killed. Landeros' child was also a witness to the shooting.
"It is unknown why Charles Landeros chose to use deadly force in this circumstance, but he clearly had no regard for the lives of the police officers or the students or staff present, including his child," the report states.
"There is no clearer circumstance that the use of deadly force is justified than this," the report concludes.
It also adds that a Facebook profile with the name "Charlie Landeros" had posted threatening messages on Facebook like "Time to start killing pigs," which was reported by an individual who told police that the profile regularly posted about "killing cops." The FBI had also reported receiving tips about Landeros posting violent anti-government messages on social media last year.
Landeros was involved with an incident at the University of Oregon in 2017 during which a group of student activists shut down a speech by the president of the university. Landeros, at the time a senior majoring in public policy and management, gave a speech, used a bullhorn and yelled about indigenous rights, oppression and tuition increases.
Landeros served in the U.S. Army from 2006 to 2012. Landeros completed tours as a helicopter mechanic in Iraq and Afghanistan, and was honorably discharged, the Daily Emerald reported.

Health specialists consider that the present want is to deal with points associated to provision of public well being and care amenities as an alternative of specializing in disease particular issues. Another key situation not addressed is how supplier networks create monetary limitations to care. The Veterans Health Administration is America's largest integrated well being care system with over 1,seven hundred sites of care , serving eight.seventy six million Veterans annually. You can call our Anytime HealthLine across the clock for well being data and advice from a nurse. In addition, you will have the aptitude to work in a hospital, a nursing home, and home health care facility, or an extended care facility. Fee for service plans are the most typical and conventional forms of health care protection.
We are inspired to show this sacred job over to others, a lot of whom know little about the right way to maintain well being and an important deal about ways to make some huge cash by shunting sufferers by way of a labyrinth of checks, medication, and procedures at a considerable revenue for the suppliers, even when the patient would not survive all of it.
We'll pay for eligible breakthrough most cancers medication and treatments, often earlier than they're obtainable on the NHS or approved by NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) so long as they're proof-based mostly.
In the US well being care system a part of the reason this has broken down is that a large number of the healthiest people in our society have opted out of paying for insurance, which ends up driving up the price for everybody else.
The Federal Trade Commission will permit Minnesota provider CentraCare Health to merge with St. Cloud Medical Group under a settlement that the company stated would mitigate doubtless anticompetitive effects of the deal.

| 12.8°C Dublin
Auctions are getting a new lease of life in the troubled property market as they are proving that certain types of property can defy the extremely difficult conditions and sell.
Auction properties appeal especially to buyers who have the cash resources or the backing of their banks in order to buy. Over the next five months, there are five bumper auctions scheduled and all of them will compete to sell large lots of properties in the low-to-middle price range.
At the upper end of the market, six properties are expected to test the €1m to €4.5m range in the Greater Dublin Area within the next six weeks. These include two stud farms, and four suburban houses.
In Galway, more than 30 properties are due to be sold in four auctions between today and July 15.
Then on June 18, more than 50 properties from Munster and Leinster, with a combined value of more than €25m, are expected to be sold by Noel Forde and Tom McCarthy of Mac Estates and GMAC Properties.
Their initial aim had been to auction Cork properties, but since they announced the plans they have attracted properties from Kildare, Kilkenny, Tipperary, Waterford, Kerry and Clare.
"Currently, we have 14 properties in the Leinster area, these include a number of large modern houses in Urlingford, with a maximum reserve of €180,000 area, as well as a number of development sites with full planning in and around Urlingford, Athy and Mountrath.
"It is important to make the distinction that this is not a distressed property auction, this is a discounted property auction. All properties offered for sale have been put on the market by the owners, who are offering big discounts on the prices that were being achieved at the height of the boom," Noel Forde said.
In July, Allsopspace plans to more than double the number of properties it sold at its first auction in April this year when it sold 82 of the 84 homes in the catalogue.
Up to 200 could go under the hammer and Stephen McCarthy of Allsopspace expects that Dublin properties will account for about half of them and commercial properties with tenants will also account for more than 20pc.
The April auction included eight flats at Castleforbes Square in Dublin's north docklands, which sold for between €140,000 and €190,000. More of these are expected to feature in the next auction. He also hopes to include more houses in the mid-price range, up to €1m.
Today will see Sleighduff Johnstown, Arklow, Co Wicklow, test the market for stud farms. This four-bedroom farmhouse comes with a 40-acre equestrian centre and stabling. The property has had as much as €5.1m invested in it, with cherrywood cladding, brass rails and high bay electric lighting installed among the facilities for the 32 stables. Agents Knight Frank are quoting an AMV of €2.1m.
Next month, another stud farm may set the record of the year. Loughtown Stud, Clane, Co Kildare, a 171-acre stud farm which bred some famous racehorses, such as Ragusa, which will be auctioned on June 29. Joint agents Coonan Real Estate Alliance and Goffs Country are quoting an AMV of €4.5m.
September will see at least two bumper auctions, one of them from Savills and the other from the Real Estate Alliance. Allsopspace is also expected to hold at least one further auction after the summer holidays.
Despite all of the auction action in the regions, Dublin has seen very little of this so far this year. Only a handful of houses in the capital have featured in auctions so far.
This is partly because the Dublin agents usually set a time limit of only four weeks for a marketing campaign for these houses and this is too short a timescale for most buyers to tie down their banks to providing a mortgage. By contrast, Allsop and the country agents will usually allow about six weeks or more for a sales campaign.
John O'Sullivan of Lisney points out that most buyers and sellers prefer to go the private-treaty route at the moment because it gives them more time to arrange funding.
Simon Ensor of Sherry Fitzgerald concurs. Both of them will see their skills tested in the next few weeks.
Next week, on May 25, Ensor will auction 75 Eglinton Road, Donnybrook, Dublin 4 for which he is quoting an AMV of €1.3m.
The following day, the Lisney team will auction two Dublin houses: 39 Park Avenue Sandymount Dublin 4, a Victorian red-brick with four bedrooms for which the AMV is €1.75m; and The Anchorage in Howth with an AMV of €950,000.
Then on June 8, Lisney will auction Weston, Ardeevin Road, Dalkey, Co Dublin, a detached house with four bedrooms, two reception rooms and a €2.5m. AMV.
Simon Ensor had one of the few successful Dublin house auctions this year when he sold a three-bedroom semi known as Clermont, 18 Haddington Park, Glenageary, Co Dublin, for €405,000. At the height of the boom, it would have attracted bids of more than €700,000.
To date, Lisney has brought only two houses to auction in Dublin and neither of these sold on the day. One, the Lake House in Howth, sold after auction for in excess of its €600,000 guide price.
Galway auctioneers O'Donnellan Joyce plan to bring 80 properties to a series of auctions over the year. Already they have auctioned 12 properties at two auctions. Their third of the year will take place today with nine properties, and for their July 1 auction, as many as 13 are in the catalogue, including a three-bedroom terraced house off Eyre Square at €125,000.
Colm O'Donnellan advises sellers to keep their reserve price the same as the AMV or less. They are planning weekly auctions for each of the first three weeks in July.
In Leinster, auction activity is not confined to bumper auctions or indeed to distressed property. A major portion of the successful auctions are sales of former farm houses on a few acres where the holdings are being parcelled into small lots, which are within the price range of cash buyers or people who need to borrow only a small portion of the price. For instance this month two small Wicklow and Wexford farms sold for over their guide prices when the houses were sold separately with a few acres.

About R&R Cultivation
R&R Cultivation is dedicated to working toward a culture that cares where its food comes from. As a society, we have become increasingly distanced from our food with most people not eating food at all but rather eating food like substances. R&R Cultivation is beginning this journey by being a local grower of many different types of mushrooms including shiitake, oyster, lion's mane, and many others. As they grow and scale, they will continue to strive to do their part to fulfill their mission and inspire others to live happier and more sustainable lives.
Owner Nick Robinson is a Twin Cities native with a passion for growing fresh, gourmet mushrooms. After getting married in 2012 Nick lived in Shanghai, China for 3 years and visited 12 different countries to explore more of what the world had to offer. After returning home, he started finding ways to give back to his community in a local and meaningful way. After working in education for 3 years and serving on a school board, he was drawn into the world of sustainable living and urban farming through his friend, Lance Ramm. This was where the idea for R&R Cultivation began.

Massachusetts smokers will pay an extra $1 per pack of cigarettes beginning today.
Without any fanfare, Gov. Deval Patrick signed an increase in the cigarette excise tax yesterday, boosting it from $1.51 to $2.51 a pack, effective at midnight last night.
The tax hike will bring in an estimated $174 million for the state. The money will be put into a trust fund to help pay for the state�s Commonwealth Care program. It subsidizes health insurance for low-income residents who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid.
Critics said the tax increase would drive Massachusetts smokers over the border to buy cheaper cigarettes. But supporters said it would drive down smoking rates and help the state pay for health care.
Tobacco Free Mass predicted it would reduce youth smoking rates by 12.6 percent, and prevent another 46,000 teens from starting to smoke in the first place.

Glen Penland lived a good life. He served his country in France during World War II as part of the Army Air Guard before the Air Force was formed. After his service, he came home to raise a happy, healthy family. When he passed away 10 years ago, his daughter, Gail Walker, knew she wanted to do something to remember him.
"It was kind of weird not buying Dad anything for Christmas, so I asked myself, 'What can I do to honor him?' " Gail said.
At that time, Gail was working at Lee High School—right across the street from Tut Fann Veterans Home. Two weeks before Christmas, 2006, Gail said God brought her the idea to deliver pajama pants to all the veterans.
She estimated there would only be 50 veterans—Tut Fann doesn't look very big from the outside—so she got 50 pairs of pajama pants and headed over to the veterans home. But when she got there, she discovered there were more than 150 veterans. So, Gail asked the staff to save those pajamas for the veterans who didn't have family visiting.
Then she re-grouped.
The next year, she rallied her troops, got donations from the Rock Family Worship Center and set out to buy pajamas for all the veterans at Tut Fann Veterans Home. A few years after that, she enlisted the help of Challenger Middle School students. At first students just wrapped the pajamas, but later, they started donating money they raised from their annual winter dance. And a few years after that, Gail partnered up with First Baptist Church of Madison to raise more money for the pajamas.
In addition to the Rock, Challenger and First Baptist Church of Madison, there are several dear family members and friends who love veterans and contribute to this project each year.
These aren't just any pants they're giving those veterans, either. Gail has guidelines on what kind of prints she wants on those pajama bottoms. There is no camouflage—because she doesn't want anything that could bring back bad memories for the veterans. She also doesn't buy plain, solid colors—the more festive the better. Gail regularly collects Christmas prints, John Deere and other manly prints she knows the veterans might enjoy.
There are a handful of women at the veterans home who get feminine pajama bottoms.
In the past, people have tried to convince Gail to switch to gift bags instead of having each pair individually wrapped, but she stands firm in her decision.
"Everyone needs to tear paper on Christmas," Gail said.
This year was a little harder. In September, Gail lost her mother and husband within a week of each other. Still, on Thanksgiving day, she set out to buy 45 pairs of pajamas at J.C. Penney's.
In true Christmas spirit, Gail tries to make sure the cashiers and people in line behind her aren't stressed out because she's buying so many things.
While Gail doesn't get to see the veterans open the gifts, she has seen how much they appreciate them. One year when she took the boxes over to the veterans home, she saw a veteran sitting in a wheelchair in the reception area. He immediately jumped into action—a definite byproduct of his military service—organizing the boxes and rearranging the office until there was enough room to fit them all.
The Community Journal deeply appreciates people like Gail who are out there helping our veterans, and we thank our veterans for their service to our country.

We had lunch with Lavinia's Grandmother and Aunts and uncle in Rogno. Below, the Giori sign in front of the massive furniture store owned by Lavinia's grandmother greeted us in this small town. The kids were amazed originally thinking that the entire store was her grandmoter's residence!
What a great name for a restaraunt! We ate lunch here at the Sloppy and Go! Very nice!
Lavinia's Uncle is an acomplished painter and has set up shop over the furniture store. He hasn't exhibited much of his work, but certainly could make a name for himself if he did.

I have discovered a new game, called "Enigmo", from Pangea, for the Mac, which you can learn more about here. It is a puzzle game that requires you control the flow of up to three different liquids using slides, accelerators, trampolines, and funnels. The demo version of the game has 10 levels, buying it released 40 more levels of play. The game allows you to build your own levels.
The graphics are superb, and the game is addictive. It is the best game I have played in years. One more reason I am glad I switched to Mac OS.

What is it that you really appreciate in the virtues of good wood? What is it that you value or cherish in owning expensive solid oak doors as opposed to choosing cheaper alternatives? Maybe you wanted a certain style of door to accompany the style of your home. Yet, why solid oak? The truth is there are door suppliers that try to mimic the classic styles of oak doors in cheaper woods with correlating results. No, the real reason why real oak is chosen by the discerning home owner is because of the natural qualities the wood has over other alternatives.
These natural qualities are both cosmetic and structural, in fact it is the structural qualities that are the basis for its cosmetic appeal and to expose these qualities whilst protecting them from bumps and bangs you need a superior finish. There is no point spending wisely on the best doors only to neglect them with a finish that doesn't display the full beauty of the wood or fails to protect the wood sufficiently.
So, here at UK Oak Doors we recommend either Treatex or Osmo Polyx Oils to bring out a long lasting golden finish in the oak. The market leading Osmo Oils have garnered their reputation by balancing environmentally sound resources and simple application with a high end beautiful yet durable finish.
To good to be true? Well, firstly the oils are based on Soya, Linseed and Thistle Oils which are more environmentally friendly than other wood finishes, not just regarding raw materials but also when the products are disposed of after use.
Osmo Polyx Oils also do without 'Green solvent' materials which aren't as good as they sound because they are known to cause allergies. Furthermore due to their unusually high content of oils and pigments Polyx Oils also give a stunning natural finish after just one or two coats and usually cover twice as much surface area as a same size tin of other conventional finishes in the market.
Not only do Osmo Polyx Oils not require a primer coat but because of the special selection of natural oils you don't need to sand the surface down between coats either. Yet despite the use of natural oils and ease of application there has been no trade off in the quality of the finish. Osmo Polyx Oils have been developed so they are absorbed into the wood like an oil but harden to provide protection like a wax. This means the beauty of your interior doors will look as good as you had hoped they would, but for longer. It's a fact that these oils are even recommended for use on wooden floors too so their durability credentials are not in doubt either.
"Integrity reveals beauty".
This quote by American businessman Thomas Leonard succinctly summarises why solid oak is so popular, especially for a natural looking finish. By using market leading natural finish oils such as Osmo Polyx Oils the owner can show off the integrity of the solid oak with its deep honeygold colours of swirling grain and so revealing its beauty.

about erica & ēthree esthetics
B.A., LE | Private Practice
Working with a wide array of small business owners in her previous field (telecom), Erica learned the ins & outs of how small businesses were built. She envisioned owning a small business herself, in a field that she has always had interest in. Even as a small child, Erica was obsessed with skincare, claiming that she and her best friend religiously wore a lotion containing (vitamin e and spf) everyday since they were 9 years old.
Between hydrating, protecting and loving "extractions," the idea of owning a skin care clinic was formed. It wasn't long before moving to Austin, that Erica timely finished her courses at Avenue Five Institute, earning her Licensed Esthetic Cosmetology degree.
Combining her B.A. from DePaul University in Chicago, Erica established ēthree esthetics in 2012, with the goal of providing personalized services and building long term relationships. Her passion in the industry is to be hands on with clientele and educating the importance of a thorough skincare regimen.

Lash extension with her is amazing, the lash is light and natural, feels like my own and I am guilty at rubbing my lashes all the time. Yet it stays and family and friends always compliments my lashes. People would stare and wonder if they're mine or lash extensions. Care is minimal and the lash lasts a long while. She does it with care and patience. I love my lashes and they feel so natural.
~ Lisa B.
Erica takes her time with her clients and it is very apparent. From start to finish she creates an experience that you cannot find at many spas. My favorite services include lash extensions, all over waxing, corrective facials, and rejuvenation facials. She is very educational as well, teaching you about your skin type and how to best manage it during different stages in your life.
~ Allison E.
I have seen Erica a few times when I visit Austin. She is very knowledgeable and her facial was effective and relaxing. I appreciate how helpful and professional she always is. I will continue to see her when in Austin.
~ Jody W.
I haven't felt this pampered and taken care of in a long time. Erica was incredible and she explained step by step what she was doing to my face. She was an excellent conversationalist and listened to my needs. She gave me advice on how to achieve my goals and she was in no way pushy of her products. At the end of the day she is the only person that I would recommend for facials and lashes. She is incredible. She is the best in the business.
~ Alexandra B.
Erica did an amazing job on my lashes. Her studio is cute and welcoming and she's so pleasant to work with. I'd recommend her services to anyone!

How to Create a Pitch Deck That VCs Will Love (and Why You Should Have More Than One)
A VC and former entrepreneur holds that you should have multiple versions of your "pitch deck" (a short, compelling visual presentation in Keynote, PowerPoint or something similar, and shared as a PDF), for specific occasions and their attendant goals: before the meeting, during the meeting, and following the meeting. He shares highly specific tips for each stage, including the number of pages each should be. He also argues strongly for sending a "teaser deck" in advance of the meeting, focusing on rapport during the meeting rather than getting into "pitch mode," and recommending possible "next steps" after the meeting with your thank-you email.

The Ultimate Guide to Hiring Top Talent for Your Small Business
Here's a couple of stats to consider: 75% of hiring is because of employee turnover, and many companies responding to a CareerBuilder survey reported having lost an average of $14,900 on every bad hire in the last year. All of the reasons given for why they were bad hires (there were many listed) could be prevented with methodical, standardized hiring systems in place. Your small business hiring practices may not be fully developed, but there are some steps you can take to ensure you hire top employees (the author discusses nine), from developing an employee handbook that clearly outlines your company's expectations to structuring your interview process. Other guidelines address improving "your employer brand," ensuring your candidates have a good experience when applying and interviewing, and learning from the best practices of other companies when developing your hiring processes.
How to Overcome the 5 Top Challenges of Remote Freelance Work
If you've been freelancing awhile now, you may well be familiar with many (if not all) of the challenges that remote freelance professionals face: the burden of self-promotion; working in a lonely solo void; time management; scope creep; and chasing down payments from clients. What you may not be so familiar with are the possible solutions suggested by the author (and "serial entrepreneur"), such as co-working spaces to combat isolation and using BidSketch to create your own contracts to prevent project scope creep.

5 Tips to Make Managing Employees Less Stressful for Everyone
Managing your workforce in a way that promotes employee engagement is not only vitally important, it can impact your bottom line. Gallup reports that only about one-third of employees are actually engaged in their work, and more than half are actively looking for other employment. That said, here are five tips to get the most out of your employees and make lasting improvements in their lives:
- Match the right HR software to your needs.
- Encourage employees to be well-rounded outside of the office.
- Show your employees that you're behind them and support them in all their efforts, whether they're about work or not.
- Realize that appreciation is strong currency.
- Stop being a private eye (micromanagement is counterproductive).
Net Neutrality Officially Expired. Now States Are Passing Their Own Laws
Net neutrality rules designed to ensure equal access to the internet officially expired Monday after a lengthy battle between Silicon Valley leaders and investors and politicians siding with the decision. The Federal Communication Commission repealed Obama-era regulations that prevented internet providers from blocking, slowing, or charging websites special fees to get their content seen by users. The idea was that all internet traffic should be treated equally by broadband providers, but now large companies like Verizon and Comcast could pay for internet "fast lanes," while smaller businesses that couldn't pay for premium service would see slower service on their sites. This also could affect freelance and gig economy workers who rely on the internet to do their jobs, and those businesses that rely on freelancers for outsourced work. Washington and Oregon have passed net neutrality laws of their own, and California could follow. Some 29 states are considering similar legislation.
5 Reasons Why Going Solo is Best for Startups
There are several different forms your business can take: a sole proprietorship, a partnership, or a corporation (or LLC). While each has its pros and cons, if you're just starting out, going solo is the best route. There are five reasons why: freedom, which includes if your business idea proves unfeasible once you subject it to the market, you are free to change your mind without consulting anyone else; speed, especially when it comes to making decisions; more learning, so you can get a feel for every facet of your business; the profit is all yours to either keep or (preferably) reinvest back into your business; and finally, flexibility to prioritize what matters the most to you.
10 Leadership Blind Spots That Stunt Business Growth
It's no secret that we all have blind spots. In business, however, they can quickly derail your growth. Citing a new book, David Mattson's The Road to Excellence, the startup and small business advisor penning this article lists 10 key blind spots for leaders to avoid, from not sharing your vision with those tasked with implementing it to not building and modelling a culture of accountability. Noting that in his experience, "blind spots are the symptoms of an impending downward spiral for your business," the author recommends taking immediate corrective action if you can relate to more than a couple of those listed.
You Grew Your Startup, Now Build Your Advisory Board
Had Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg heeded warnings from its safety advisory board that user data could be seriously compromised, he may have steered the company clear of the morass it finds itself in now. You know you should have an advisory board to guide you, but how and when should you start one?
One school of thought holds that it should wait to you've achieved a solid business first, while the second recommends you have one from the very first, as there are endless questions to consider before even a starting a business. While it is really up to your own preferences on when to start, going about how has three basic guidelines: identify your deficiencies so you can find people who can bridge your skill gaps, such as finance; tap into your network to find high-level expertise, but dare to go outside of it too; and lastly, give your board structure and clarity of purpose.

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God….(1 Peter 5:6)
I'm not a very humble person. At least, not underneath it all. However, thanks to the power of the Holy Spirit I am seeing unhealthy patterns, thoughts and behaviors start to bubble to the surface. Thoughts that really just make life, my situation, what I'm not getting, what I am getting, what I believe I should be getting, all about me.
That's the worst when we start viewing life from the perspective of what we believe we should be getting. Thus, our next response is only to start treating people poorly or to think badly of them in our own minds, because they aren't giving us what we believe we so rightly deserve.
At the root of all of this is a stubborn, selfish heart. As I have been processing these feelings of self-willed superiority and pride the Lord has said to me, "Heather, why do you always have to make it about you in this situation?"
At the root of my sin lies an issue in my heart with contentment. An unwillingness to fully embrace and accept the place God has me. Yet, Jesus says, ""If anyone wants to be first, he must be the last of all and the servant of all."- Mark 9:35
Today, I will die to thoughts that make life all about me. After all, we must remember that Jesus's ministry didn't flourish through his nobility, but instead, through His death and resurrection. Jesus became a servant of all. Instead, we want people to become the servant of our needs, wants, desires and dreams, but what if we switched our mentality away from us and start investing in someone else's dreams and desires. Maybe then we'd see more people living fully alive in how God is made them, instead of seeing so many people demanding their rights, because they, much like me, have made life far too much about them self.
Lord, I want to live for you. Help me in my life to be fully alive in my death so that I don't keep trying to steal the glory from you in my pride. Today, may I live not with entitlement, but as servant of all, in Jesus name, Amen.

text: Pharaoh is the common title of the kings of ancient Egyptian dynasties. With absolute authority, pharaohs oversaw annual harvests, built monuments to honor the gods and made decisions about government, law, trade and foreign policy. The pharaoh had to mirror the goddess Ma'at, who represented balance, justice and truth in the universe. The Pharaoh Cuff is definitely a statement piece, but is comfortable and easy to wear.
