SUPER Eagles players Sadiq Umar and Nura Abdullahi have both been offered three year contracts by Italian Serie A clubside Roma after both of them put in brilliant performances over the course of the season.
Targetman Umar, 19, has had a brilliant season having broken into the team as a striker and has led the line well in matches he has featured well, holding the ball up well. Defender Abdullahi has also equipped himself well in the right fullback position where he currently plays for the youth team.
A Roma spokesman said: "Sadiq and Nura have both agreed a three-year contract with Roma. They will be signed in June."
Both players have been on loan from Italian Serie B outfit Spezia. Umar, has made six appearances for the Rome club this season in the league and scored two goals but his first-team chances have dried up though since the return of coach Luciano Spalletti in January.
However, the Kaduna-born Umar has also been scoring goals for fun for the Roma youth team amid rumours he is wanted by some of Europe's top guns. Abdullahi, 18, on the other hand, has yet to make his Serie A debut but he is highly rated by Roma.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- This bear market is not yet a sure thing.
We seem to be increasingly dodging bullets that we thought might further maim the world economy, and thus Wall Street.
One of these stray bullets: the imminent collapse of Russia.
Russian now has a government. The bad news is that the key positions are filled by former Communists. The good news is that all of them are really old, sick or both.
More Erdman: The Clinton factor Greenspan: so? We need a hero Derivative monsters Russia, with love Ruble musings Moscow's halt Yuan weakens So who's right? Asian relapse The boom is over
What are Prime Minister Primakov and his central banker, Viktor Gerashchenko (whom Jeffrey Sachs, Harvard professor and former adviser to the Russian government, terms "the world's worst central banker") going to do?
First, print enough money in order to able to pay off the miners, railroad workers, pensioners. If they have any brains, they will also put on price controls and introduce foreign exchange controls to preclude any further capital flight.(China's foreign-exchange controls might be the best model for Russia to follow).
Then, so the story goes, in the nick of time, just before hyperinflation breaks out, they will move toward a modified currency board, stabilizing the ruble, interest rates, and ultimately prices.
Now if you believe all this, I know a nice bridge across the Volga that's available.
But governance has returned to Russia. The mindless drift is over. Men used to wielding power have returned to the top. The worst, if not avoided, has at least been postponed.

In Tune: How To Get Sh*t Done
I can't tell you HOW HARD it is for me somedays to find the energy and motivation to I need so I can FOCUS, no matter how many cups of coffee I have! So, of course, me telling you I have ADHD should come as no surprise. I have always had my issues with concentration, but it's been ESPECIALLY bad since I had the girls. Now, I am not saying that I can't complete the task at hand, BUT I AM notorious for going around my butt to scratch my elbow. Until.... I found my motivation in a bottle! (and I'm not talking about the kind of bottle you have to be 21 to buy....)
If you have been following my ESSENTIAL OIL JOURNEY, you know that I have been slowly trying to transition ourselves to a more holistic way of life. One thing that I DESPERATELY needed to improve on going into this was my productivity level. I had been finding that between a lack of energy and trouble focusing, I wasn't getting everything on my to do list DONE. I refuse to take Adderall, and wasn't sure what options I was left with, so I suffered in silence. I've always done my best to knock out what I could without overstressing myself, but often times I feel disappointed with HOW MUCH I couldn't get to. What's crazy to me is that before I even jumped on board the oils train, my oily guru had told me that me and this oil were destined to do great things together! So..... here is my story... (and keep in mind I'm writing it 8 days in our "relationship")<--This is me. 6 days after starting this oil! On my way to a family lunch. And for a change I'm NOT on my Mac, scrambling to meet one more deadline I'm cutting it too close with!
HOW WE "MET": On the way to my mailbox one Saturday afternoon, all I could think about is how much I had to get done over the next 7 days! (Hashtag: the twin mommy blogging life!) I was SO preoccupied with my stresses that I forgot it was OIL DELIVERY DAY!! And in my box was this little bottle of magic, which I started using IMMEDIATELY! I applied some from ear to ear on the back of my neck, focusing on the mid to lower ear area, which is the area that helps enhance your concentration. I also applied to my wrists, for focus and clarity. (NOTE: I often apply to my temples instead of the back of my neck for concentration now. I prefer to apply PEPPERMINT oil to the back of my neck for energy!) You can also apply to the tip of your toes, the back of your knees, (which I have yet to try) or just use aromatically!
WHAT WE DID TOGETHER: In the next 6 days, while using this oil, I managed to: -shoot, edit, render, AND encode NINE (yes NINE!) babywearing videos! Now, usually it takes me HOURS to get ONE video filmed JUST right (which means my iPad gets polluted with about 50 fails! More than once I have had the memory cut off my recording when I finally had gotten it JUST right!) EACH of these videos nine videos that I shot only took ONE TAKE! No muss, no fuss! NO JOKE! -upload ALL NINE videos to YouTube -write and submit TWO guest articles for other blogs/sites
-get THREE posts of mine, a guest review, and guest post all up on this site! -sift through the remainder of the first batch of the WEAR&SHARE Twingaroo applications and plot the next few potential stops (nothing finalized though;) ) -successfully tackle my admin tasks with my babywearing group before my deadline (I'm usually scrambling at midnight my time so I can post it by midnight west coast time!) -(and of course) get some more research done about oils! (there's more, but those things are those finer "behind the scenes details" that are coming into action soon!)
WHEW!!!!! What a week! And I honestly couldn't have been more thrilled to call it mine! I mean, who DOESN'T love a good sense of feeling accomplished without having been rushed or under pressure while getting the job done? And here's the thing. I didn't go to bed any later than normal. (I'm always up until at least 1:30-2 am working.) And I didn't drink ANY coffee this week either! (Just my hot chocolate with a DASH of instant coffee for flavor! A ratio so fractional I won't try to measure it.)
WHY I'M IN LOVE: I noticed during this week that I was more calm, more concentrated, and even more positive in my outlook of events of the day. Like, for example, when Adobe crashes RIGHT AS you complete the final edits of a video (HOURS later). And the "autosave" feature auto-forgot to save ANYTHING. Now, usually I would have yelled at the Mac, slammed it shut, muttered a few choice words, and walked away. (And sometimes not come back until DAYS later!) Yet here I am cool, calm, and collected. Reasoning that this is just a test for me to up my skills and ability to move with a quickness.... A COMPLETE 180 from the "old me," wouldn't you say?
And not only have I noticed a difference in my "work life," but I have noticed that I get less easily distracted when I am hanging out with the girls all day. Again, MANY times during the day we will start a project or activity, and it will sit there unfinished for as long as I can stand to avoid it. EX: I HATE living out of baskets of clean clothes, yet it's become a common occurrence around here recently. You see, from the laundry room to the bedroom, there are usually 50 OTHER things that need to be done, and I end up trying to do it all at once. And now I've lost track of time and I have to move on to something else, and my laundry becomes a lost cause. Since I am able to now keep myself so organized and productive during my working hours, my mommy hours have been more cleared up and we are REALLY enjoying having more quality STRESS FREE time together! And our laundry is even getting folded and put away again! Most days anyways.....

Apply online or email Kristen McBrayer at
** NVSL Division 3 Swim Team**
Our tennis pro Carol Molesky will be providing group lessons for kids and adults starting June 26. See Tennis for more information.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, welcome to Hunter Mill Swim and Racquet Club's 2019 season. Opening day is Saturday, May 25, 2019 and the pool will open at 10:00 am. Whether it's at the pool, on the tennis court, or around the Clubhouse, we look forward to seeing you at the Club this summer.
As we prepare for Opening Day, the Board continues to make enhancements to the Club. Thanks to the efforts of our facilities director, , we've made big improvements to the clubhouse and pool deck in 2018. The new furniture on the pool deck was a great addition to Hunter Mill last season. For this season, Eileen has added additional new furniture as well as additional trash and recycling cans to the deck. We're also looking to replace some of our older gas grills, and we encourage you use the gas grills and enjoy a family cookout by the pool. Our assistant treasurer, , is once again working hard to make plenty of concessions available so you won't have to carry water, soda, snacks and ice cream.
When you arrive at the Club, please provide your membership number to the lifeguard at check-in. If you bring guests, please let the guards know. Guest fees are $5 per guest if paid by cash or check, or $6 per guest if an invoice is requested. On your first day at the Club, we ask that you please bring the attached Family Information Form to help us update our family member database. This form lets you update your family members' information, child caregiver names, and emergency contact information and helps us improve our check-in process.
Safety is always a top priority at the Club. Please take a few minutes and review the Club's Rules and Regulations. The Board has given Guardian Aquatics' lifeguards the authority to enforce the rules of the Club. Please help the lifeguards maintain a safe and fun environment by complying with their directions and making them aware of any safety issues. Please remember that we have a no-glass policy at the pool. For social events, you may bring your own beverages but please remember to always bring them in non-breakable containers. When weather is questionable, please check your email for event changes and the home page Twitter feed for updates. Lastly, we recommend you lock your vehicles and don't leave valuables in sight when parking at the pool.
Another top priority at the Club is expanding our membership base. A strong membership base helps us sustain and enhance the facilities without the need to increase dues or impose an assessment on membership. Please encourage your friends and neighbors to visit and talk to our membership director, , about becoming a member of Hunter Mill Swim and Racquet Club. The Club is a great place to meet new friends, relax, and have fun during the summer months.
We couldn't operate Hunter Mill Swim and Racquet Club without the efforts of our volunteers on the Board of Directors, Committees, and Swim Team. We're always looking for members who are willing to help us improve and sustain the Club. Our most pressing volunteer needs right now are a Tennis Coordinator and new Swim Officials. Additionally, we're looking for a new Board Secretary and a new Assistant Treasurer, and someone who can help our Social Director organize and lead additional social events. The Swim Team is also looking for a Setup Coordinator for meets, and a Monday meet Concessions Manager. If you're interested in volunteering your time in any of these roles, feel free to contact me or any of the other members of the Board or Committees. All Club members will benefit from your help.
As always, we are here to serve your interests and needs for a wonderful time swimming, playing tennis, socializing and just kicking back and lounging on the deck. If there is anything you would like us to address throughout the season, please don't hesitate to call on us. We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable summer!
Herb Carmen, President
P.S. Don't forget to complete the Family Information Form and bring it with you the first time that you come to the Club this Season.
Dear Hunter Mill Swim & Racquet Club Members,
This week, the HMSRC Board of Directors held its first meeting of 2019. We're now making plans to ramp up for the 2019 season. It may seem early to be thinking about tennis and swimming, but we thought it would be a good idea to reach out and share some important information so you can know what to expect in the coming months.
The Board elected a new slate of Officers and Committee Chairs in November. We are currently looking for a volunteer to serve as Tennis Coordinator and lead our tennis program. We're also looking for a volunteer to serve as our Assistant Treasurer. If you are interested in either of these positions, volunteering on a committee, or serving on the Board, please reach out to any Board member. We could not operate HMSRC without the help of our dedicated volunteers.
We're happy to report that membership fees for the 2019 season are the same as 2018. In the coming days you should receive an email from the HMSRC Treasurer, Terry Morrissey. Terry will provide each member with an invoice and instructions for how to pay your membership fees for the 2019 season. If you don't receive Terry's email by February 15th, please let her know at . Membership fees are due March 15, 2019.
2019 will be the second season that we will offer a membership option for individuals and couples. These memberships offer a reduced rate for individuals/couples with no children in the household. If you are interested in one of these memberships, email as soon as possible as there are only a limited number available.
If you have new neighbors or friends looking for a fantastic club, we have single season leases and full renewable memberships available for the 2019 season. Please invite your friends and neighbors to apply. Membership information. If you have questions about membership options, please contact Kristen McBrayer at .
We're very excited to let you know that Coach Christine will return as Head Coach and Coach Myles plans to return as Assistant Coach of the Hunter Mill Sharks. Jennifer Riggle and Shannon DeLacy will be our Swim Team Reps. Alicia Kalthof and Kristen Long have volunteered to serve as our B Team Reps. We will find out our NVSL division in late February after the NVSL holds its annual Seeding and Rules Meeting.
Guardian Aquatics will manage and operate our pool once again in 2019. Each year, Guardian hires several lifeguards from the local area to support our pool. We encourage HMSRC members to apply with Guardian in the spring. Young adults ages 15 and up who interested in becoming a lifeguard for 2019 should consider signing up for a Lifeguard Certification class early, as these classes tend to fill up by late spring.
Please visit our homepage and follow HMSRC on Facebook and Twitter. We intend to post information on upcoming events on Facebook in addition to the calendar on our homepage. During the season, our lifeguards use Twitter to let members know when the pool is closed for weather or other unforeseen reasons. We will become more active on Facebook and Twitter as we get closer to Opening Day on May 25, 2019.
If you have any questions or if you are interested in volunteering with the Board or one of the committees, please let one of us know. We're all looking forward to warmer weather and a summer of fun at Hunter Mill. In the meantime, stay warm and thank you for being members of Hunter Mill Swim & Racquet Club.

Stories, Tools, and Planning
For Communities & The Organizations that Serve Them
Welcome to Community Dream Enterprises
from Bonnie Ratner
I love community building. For over two decades, my passion has been working in communities and with the organizations and institutions that serve them. I'm a storyteller, educator and planner, and I have applied my craft to build the capacity of leaders, organizations and communities across California and now in Oregon.
Stories Have Power and Light. I love to write stories that demonstrate success or illuminate issues, but equally, I love to give others the skills to tell their own stories—in grant proposals as well as formal or informal communications. I also use storytelling as a means to help grow leadership skills. In addition to working with nonprofit and government leaders, I taught literature and writing for a number of years in multicultural college classrooms. I've also taught creative writing in treatment centers and in county jail. Check out Community Dream Productions to see how stories can illuminate our worlds.
Planning is fun. Planning gets a bad rap. Mention strategic planning, and eyes roll as visions emerge of unnecessary documents sitting on dusty shelves. Well, I love bringing a group together to create a shared vision and plan for success, a plan that is lively and challenging and grows with the group to meet extraordinary goals. I can take all your ideas and shape them into a document that contains your loftiest dreams, your deepest values, and your most practical strategies.
This brand new website is under construction, but please get to know us by clicking through the navigational menu on the left.
And feel free to contact me so we can start planning for your success!

At a recent BVRLA industry conference, the issue of younger drivers was brought up. Broadly referred to as the 'millennial generation', it's fair to say that the issue of car ownership for those aged between 18-35 is a tough one thanks to them braving years of a financial climate still in recovery from the last recession.
Millennials across the UK, the US and Japan are the first generation in modern memory that are set to be worse off than their parents according to a recent study. Wages have fallen by 43% for millennials; in the UK alone, wages are struggling to grow alongside inflation despite a recent rise in interest rates, limiting the buying potential of younger demographics.
Something that didn't go unnoticed at the BVRLA conference. "The millennial segment doesn't care about the fancy, professional stuff. They care about something that is easily understandable in their language and is flexible," said Magdalena Wochnik, senior product leader at Jaguar Land Rover subsidiary InMotion.
"They get bored because new cars come out constantly," she added. "There are emotional aspects around 'I just fancy a new car'."
With a lack of financial opportunity and room to manoeuvre at their disposal combined with the desire to not lock themselves into car ownership for the foreseeable future, younger drivers could find the solution for their needs within an affordable, bespoke Personal Contract Hire (PCH) agreement that works for them and their budget.
PCH not only ticks a lot of boxes for millennials, but is also a fantastic option for everybody to consider whenever they want to access a new car. Drivers' buying habits are evolving fast, and PCH is becoming a more popular option than ever before thanks to the personal flexibility it offers to people's lives, including:
A PCH agreement is typically far more affordable than purchasing a car outright depending on your wants, needs and budget. With prices generally lower through PCH, it can be a great option for drivers who want a car but worry over the financial aspects. It also opens the market up to them; there are a huge range of cars available to drivers through PCH that may normally be out of their reach.
PCH can be perfect for drivers who don't want to tie themselves down to a specific make, model or manufacturer. Drivers return their car at the end of their PCH contract, with the non-committal nature of the agreement allowing them to simply choose another car at the end of the agreement if terms have been met and they wish to consider an alternative option.
Additional fees are something that can hit drivers hard when they buy a new car, which can be especially daunting if they're feeling the squeeze financially. LeaseCars4Less is able to provide drivers with modifications to their car and maintenance packages as part of their lease to provide them with a better bespoke service for their needs and budget.
Find out more about getting a Personal Contract Hire for you – whatever your age – by contacting LeaseCars4Less' expert team on 03456 43 25 43.

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—Discovery Jersey Arts, a cosponsored project of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and the ArtPride of New Jersey Foundation, is holding their annual People's Choice Awards.
Three of New Brunswick's own institutions, The New Jersey Film Festival, George Street Playhouse, and the State Theatre, are among a handful of organizations honored with nominations for 2016.
NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—On September 15, the State Theater held a free event in the middle of Livingston Avenue to promote their upcoming show "The Supernaturalists," a magic show created, directed, and produced by well-known magician Criss Angel.
But the event appeared to come to a premature and anticlimactic end when performer Spencer Horsman was hospitalized after failing to escape from a "water torture cell," a small cube filled completely with water and suspended by a crane.
NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—The New Jersey Film Festival, celebrating its 34 year anniversary, is beginning its fall season with film screenings on September 11 at 7:00 p.m. at Rutgers University's Voorhees Hall, Room 105.

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—On Friday, August 21, Tumulty's Pub is hosting a special event to promote opposition to human trafficking occurring all over the world.

That night, Destination Dogs is holding their second annual "May the 4th" party from 9:00 pm to 2 a.m.
Also known as Star Wars Day, the unofficial holiday gets its name from the catchphrase "May the Force be with you," made famous in Star Wars, the classic science fiction franchise created by filmmaker George Lucas.
NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—A coalition of community leaders and members from Unity Square, the Esperanza Project, and New Labor have been ramping up pressure on New Brunswick's City Council to pass an ordinance requiring paid sick leave for nearly all employees in the Hub City.
Paid sick leave is time off from work that employees can utilize in order to tend to health and safety concerns, or care for sick children, while still being able to retain their pay and not risk losing their job.
NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—coLAB Arts, a local non-profit arts organization, is working to put on a series of "48-hour Musicals" event, the first in the area, in conjunction with the Hub City Music Festival.
The non-profit has paired theater professionals with New Brunswick DIY-scene bands, and tasked the groups with creating new and original 15-minute musicals within a 48-hour time frame.

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—Sources say that staff layoffs, at least for managers, are part of a deal to outsource the management of the Rutgers University Telefund, as an outside company prepares to take over July 1.
The operation will still remain at 303 George Street in downtown New Brunswick, and officials maintain it "will continue to employ approximately 100 students each semester."
NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—People from all over the region enjoyed the festivities associated with New Brunswick's 39th Annual Hungarian Festival this past Saturday, June 7.
Much of Somerset and Plum streets were closed to automobile traffic to accomodate the large affair. Hungarians from near and far, as well as neighborhood residents cashed in on the gorgeous weather, filling the streets.
NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—As Rutgers University enters the NCAA Big 10 Conference, a series of controversies has beset the athletics department, ranging from financial issues to outright abuse of student players.
Most recently, however, a new tragedy has occurred involving Philip Nelson, a recent Rutgers Football pick up, who transferred from the University of Minnesota during this offseason.
On May 14, Nelson, 20, was dismissed from the Rutgers Football team in lieu of an assault charge in his hometown of Mankato, MN.

College Football Bowl Predictions: Wisconsin vs. Miami 12/30/17
Will Wisconsin handle business on Saturday night in the Capital One Orange Bowl? The Badgers will take on the Miami Hurricanes at 8:00 p.m. ET.
The Odds: Wisconsin vs. Miami, Capital One Orange Bowl, 8:00 p.m. ET
According to oddsmakers, the Badgers are 6-point favorites to win tonight in Miami. The Hurricanes opened as a 5.5-point underdog before the line climbed. The total, meanwhile, sits at 45 points.
The Badgers enter play with a 12-1 record and an 8-5 mark against the spread in 2017. The Hurricanes are 10-2 after losing in the ACC Championship Game to Clemson. They're just 5-7 at the betting window in 2017.
Wisconsin Badgers Injury Report
The Badgers have several players listed on their injury report that have been out for the season for the past few weeks or months. Running back Bradrick Shaw (undisclosed) is out, as are Quintez Cephus (leg), Patrick Johnson (arm), Zack Braun (foot), and Jack Cichy (knee).
Miami Hurricanes Injury Report
Ahmmon Richards suffered a knee injury back in late November that cost him the rest of his season. Running back Mark Walton was lost for the year due to an ankle injury suffered in October. Tight end Christopher Herndon IV (knee) is also out and so is defensive lineman Gerald Willis (knee).
Our Prediction
Too many bettors and observers are being swept up in the fact that Miami gets to play at home tonight. That doesn't mean as much if you're not hyped to play the game. I question the Hurricanes' motivation for this one after they were stomped in the ACC title game.
Besides, Miami had a home game back in 2009 when the 'Canes played another Big Ten team in the Citrus Bowl. That game was in Orlando and not Miami but this game has a similar vibe. Nebraska was hyped, while Miami didn't care. The Cornhuskers won 20-14.
The Badgers are 10-1 against the spread in their last 11 road games and have covered the spread in four of their last five games overall. The Hurricanes, meanwhile, have failed to cover in six of their last eight games and are just 1-5 against the number in their last six bowl games.
I don't trust Miami to get up for this game, whereas I see Wisconsin treating the contest as a statement opportunity.
Capital One Bowl Game Predictions: Wisconsin Badgers -6

If you have flown to Denver, you likely know what DEN is. It is our keystone, the anchor of our community, and the short name of our city, Denver.
This week, at the Rise of the Rest Summit, I had the opportunity to share the awesomeness of Denver, and Colorado with 125 investors and leaders from across the United States. I was asked the question, "What is your startup City's Brand?"
I thought for a moment, reflected on the feeling of Denver Startup Week, Startup Colorado, Techstars, Women Who Startup, and on, and on — and quickly whipped, "you already know our brand". "Have you ever flown to Denver? Visited us? DEN? D. E. N.?"
Almost all, have visited Denver, all along, not knowing, they had the "secret code" to our entrepreneurial ecosystem. DEN. Right there, as a welcome code.
The brand you ask? D. E. N. Denver Entrepreneurs are Nice.
Simple, but powerful. Simple, but unique.
And in today's world of innovation, Nice Matters. Nice inspires. Nice reaches compromise. Nice is attractive. Nice is respectful. Nice is enjoyable. Nice is equitable. Nice creates value. Nice is fun. And Nice, makes one feel great.
It was said, "People do not often remember what you say, but they always remember, how you made them feel."
That describes Denver's entrepreneurs, our startup leaders, our startup community, our support organizations, our investment community, and most of all, our City. Denver entrepreneurs are nice, welcoming, and generous — and not only want to build great companies, but they want to build a great city.
A city that is a magnet for the humbly brilliant, a magnet for those who give more than they take, and a magnet for those who define, the word unpretentious.
DEN, and Denver is Nice.
And Nice, is awesome! It warms the heart and makes the spark of innovation that much brighter.
So the next time you visit Denver, and ride the train into the City from the airport and hear Mayor Michael Hancock say on the speaker, "Welcome to the Mile High City" — Know, that we truly mean it.
Welcome to DEN. Where entrepreneurs, investors, the entrepreneurial community, and City, is just nice!
In today's world, Nice, Wins.

New Seedlings from Cloud's Orchids!!
I recently received my order from Cloud's Orchids in Southern Ontario. The plants I purchased are of the oncidium alliance and are all hybrids:
Adaglossum Summit "Frenchtown" AM/AOS (Odontoglossum bictoniense x Ada keiliana)-should have chocolate sepals and petals, with bright orange lips.
Beallara Pacific Bright Star "Willy Nilly" (Odontioda Remembrance x Miltassia. Royal Robe (mericlone))-should produce large, glorious copper stars, tipped magenta and complimentary rose-pink lips. (Odontiodia is a cross of Cochlioda x Odontoglossumm and Miltassia is a cross of Miltonia and Brassia)
Oncidium Sharry Baby "Red Fantasy" (Jamie Sutton x Honolulu)-deliciously fragrant oncidium hybrid in red & fuchsia flowers smell of chocolate and vanilla.
Oncidioda Pacific Panic "Pacific Darling" (Oncidium Pupukea Sunset x Oncidioda Charlesworthii)-flowers whould be bright orange. (Oncidioda is a cross of Oncidium x Cochlioda)
I can't wait to see blooms on these babies!!

Harlequin Phalaenopsis (mini-phal)
This cute little "mini-phal" has stunning deep burgundy and white flowers. The lower sepals are not speckled and are the deepest burgundy I've ever seen in phalaenopsis. This type of speckling on the flower is refered to as "Harlequin" and the amount of speckling can vary widely.

Keiki hormone paste
This node was already swelled when I applied the paste so may end up producing more blooms instead of a keiki.
This node was totally undevelopped (flat) at the time of application. At 3 weeks post application, one can already see the swelling or growth of tissue that may form a keiki .
This is my second attempt at producing keikis on phalaenopsis using Keikigrow hormone paste. When the hormone is applied to the nodes on a phalaenopsis flowering stem, small plants called keikis are induced to grow. These keikis are exact replicas (or clones) of the mother plant.
Here the paste was applied at two different nodes, one which already had signs of growth before application (growth that would likely have resulted in more blooms). The second node had no active growth at the time of application. Once can already see the development of some tissue which will hopefully form a keiki.

Keiki formation induced by crown rot
One year old keiki in bloom!
Doritaenopsis : keiki (baby plant) attached to mother plant (larger plant).
Mother plant showing crown rot.
Thought I'd share some pics of my doritaenopsis keiki that formed as the result of the mother plant succumbing to crown rot. The keiki flowered at about 1 year of age while still attached to the mother plant. I am hoping when I remove the keiki that a second one will from from the mother.

Orchid division
Well, I had the courage today to finally divide one of my prized orchids (actually, they all are for me). Last year's growth on my odontocidium had produced 2 new growths which were so high out of the pot that they needed repotting. In addition, I was concerned that one of the divisions was at risk of dying as the roots seemed to be drying out.
I was able to carefully remove the healthier growth furthest away from the mother bulb and replanted in a mixture of coarse orchid bark mix and New Zealand spagnum peat moss. The other bulb was left on the mother bulb.
I also removed 2 old backbulbs which don't seem to have any healthy "eyes" left on it. Nevertheless I will give them a try at propagation just in case.

Doritaenopsis "Ever Spring Prince"
A brightly colored Doritaenopsis! My specimen plant succumbed to crown rot but managed to form a nice little keiki for me. The keiki, still attached to the mother plant, has put up this first spike at only 1 year of age.

Peloric Phalaenopsis
This strange looking Phalaenopsis has sepals opening as they should but the petals do not completely open! I find it gives the flower a "daffolil" or "cattleya" appearance. What attracted me to this orchid was the beautiful soft pink and yellow tones as well as the unusual looking flower. The phenomenon is called peloria and it is the result of a mutation.

NOID Moth Orchid
Put your sunglasses on for this beauty! It is unfortunate that there was no identification for this phal so I classify it as a "noid". One possibility could be "Pink Valentine". The bright magenta color is complimented by a dark cerise lip with a speckled yellow throat.

Yellow Phalaenopsis
The flowers of this yellow phal has a waxy texture. The blooms open a lime yellow color that progresses to bright yellow with tiny maroon flecks. Although this moth orchid is not fragrant, it compensates by producing many brightly colored flowers which it sports on sometimes up to three spikes per plant! This orchid is a cross of Phal "Taipei Gold Goldstar" x Phal "Goldberry Carmela".

Phalaenopsis "Paul Tatar" x
My very first Phalaenopsis orchid was purchased as a seedling. I waited 3 years for it to bloom and my goodness, it was worth the wait! The first flower spike had 3 branches and held over 40 rose-scented blooms! Cross is from Phal"Paul Tatar" yellow x Phal "Goldiana".

NOID but possibly Dialaelia "Snowflake"
Unfortunately, this orchid was purchased with a mislabeled tag and so is a no id. It has been suggested by fellow orchid experts that this orchid is a cross between laelia albida and diacrum bicornutum (now known as caularthron bicornutum).
This orchid forms a nice compact spindle shaped bulb with stiff curved strap-like leaves. The flowers open pure white and change to a salmon color at maturity. Slight fragrance is noticeable when the flowers are mature.

Miltonidium hybrid
This awesome orchid is another of my miltonidium hybrids. It is so floriferous that I usually loose count of the flowers (from 50 - 100 per spike)! The flower spike measures over 1m tall and one plant can have 2 spikes in bloom at one time. To top it off, the flowers are immensly fragrant and easily fill a whole room. The cultivar is "Issaku Nagata".

Another of my beloved favorites, this rare (unnamed) cultivar I found by pure chance. I purchased as a seedling and so had no idea of the flowers until it bloomed. What a delightful surprise when this baby put out a spray of exotic looking blooms! Individial waxy flowers measure about 3 inches tall and are star shaped. It closely resembles Vuylstekeara which is an intergeneric hybrid resulting from a cross with Milt Ron's Rippling Delight 'Pacific Parfait' x (Vuyl Mem Mary Kavanaugh x Oda John Hainsworth).

Dendrobium orchids reproduce sexually (pollen and ovary) to produce seed pods and asexually by forming small plantlets growing on the mother plant. The plantlet is called a keiki (means "baby" in Hawaiian).

I had a friend recently stuck in Brazil with no means due to certain circumstances. I looked all day with no luck until I found ShareMoney. I was able to send money direct from bank account as US currency into REAIS currency for as little as $3.99. It was so simple and easy. Now mind you money was sent to friend same day credit in Brazil. 4**** star rating = I only saw 4 countries that you can send money to: Brazil, Guatemala, Philippines, Dominican Republic & Vietnam.

Use Cases
Since 2007, we have helped solve numerous business challenges. A selected sample of use cases to which we applied our technologies and processes indicates the breadh of our solutions.
"Who would have thought that paying your energy bills on time can depend on whether your favorite soccer club wins or loses?"
The financial planning, services and communication departments of Essent struggled with a percentage of monthly energy invoices being paid past due. In order to predict the percentage of invoices which can be expected to be paid on time Ai Appliedpredicts and identifies risks with an unseen level of accuracy. Ai Applied combines Essents internal client data with insights from news analysis in order to create an uniquely accurate and expressive predictive model.
The procedure for obtaining a mortgage involves a tremendous amount of time (weeks to months), stress and paperwork, for both the bank and the customer. In order to improve competitiveness, the Volksbank has the ambition to discard the old way of doing things, moving forward with the initiative of "mortgage within one minute". This required a whole new approach, leveraging sources of information which can be obtained autonomously as well as accurate risk prediction systems.
"We increased our market size by identifying previously non-eligible people as highly dilligent mortgage users."
"Our response process was sped up by 40% and training time for new employees reduced by a whole year, and the system has just started learning!"
When a customer posts a request for legal assistance, ARAG's specialists decide on the eligibility. To respond to the customer, a legal foundation needs to be defined that pertains to the customers requests. Finding the legal foundation and crafting a response letter used to be an entirely manual process. Ai Applied's system automatically predicts the likely response, and automatically finds a template letter with the appropriate motivation, leaving ARAG's specialist to personalize and send the letter, training the system further in the process.
When ING Bank looked for a way to improve the quality of their financial consulting, they needed a tool flexible enough to ingest, analyze, visualize and monitor the best practices over time of their star consultants without interrupting the work flow. Speech-to-text recognition is combined with Ai Applied's techology to enable never before seen level of quality control.
"Just by talking, we can now get feedback on how we do. That's amazing."
"It has never been easier to understand our competitive advantage in the eyes of our consumers from so many different perspectives."
To ensure the best possible experience for their customers, KPN Telecom wants to know what went well and what didn't to prioritize and monitor solutions. Ai Applied's rechnology is used to monitor news and social media, e-mail boxes, NPS and call-center transcripts to provide a full view of topics, sentiments and priorities of their customers.
Chorally provides a regular, comprehensive and holistic overview of visitor feedback for the travel industry by crawling and indexing reviews of travel experiences across many platforms. Using Ai Applied's Text APIs, this data is turned into tangible value and actionable insights, empowering the setting of correct priorities in the improvement of travel offerings for their customers.
"We give much more comprehensive advice to our customers with information gained from Ai Applied's analytics."
"These insights allowed us specific per-topic per-gender targeting of our marketing campaign, even though we analysed anonimous Twitter messages."
When Vodafone wanted to reach the teenage demographic in the Netherlands, based on their preoccupations as they expressed these on social media, Text APIs provided a full technical solution which allowed Vodafone to analyse the collected data in great detail. As a result, Vodafone ran a highly targeted and succesful media campaign, using the insights for targeting and in advertising materials.

I did what you said and redownloaded the dmod. After restarting, I found a secret place by the Bar! I don't know if you added it, or I overlooked it before, but, I got a gold heart, and 2 potions; I also found a cellar, but it's locked. Where can I find the key? Please let me know before I go to the next section, cause you can't always come back without restarting the game.

I have some questions. (sorry, but I didn't get the "modefy" optio). The first time I tried to play, the drunk wizard in the "inn", gave me "hellfire" magic, after barfing in my ear (he threw up actually); the second time he DIDN'T give me magic! Which way is it supposed to be? I prefer the magic myself!

When I was a teenager, my Mom and I would make dinner together every night. It was a nice way for us to spend time together, and a great way for me to steal her recipes. My mom is a political junkie, and CNN's Lou Dobbs' show was usually on as we cooked. At first Dobbs concentrated on financial news, but throughout the years he became increasingly obsessed with putting down illegal immigrants. Even though my family came to this country legally, his rhetoric really struck a chord with us.
Feeling helpless, I decided to start writing to Dobbs, pointing out his many errors, and the danger his words could cause. I don't know how many emails I wrote, but needless to say, he never wrote me back.
Now, a decade letter, I'm taking another shot at talking to Lou Dobbs and CNN. I've joined with Presente.org and the BastaDobbs.com campaign to make this video: CNN: Lou Dobbs or Latinos in America? I'm hoping this time Dobbs will respond.

Prepping For A Pole Show or Competition
I have a really important show coming up. It's a big one. I am excited, nervous and ready to take the stage!
In December, I found out that Dita Von Teese is coming to Toronto and a burlesque show was being created in her honour. She would be performing as well.. which means, this show is going to be huge. I took a chance and contacted the show producers, and they were thrilled to invite me to join in. (I was so scared to put myself out there.. )
If you don't know who Dita Von Teese is.. allow me to introduce her to you
In 2007, when I started pole, there were no performance opportunities for pole dancers. Competitions were just starting out - it was very early in the development. It wasn't like how it is now with the wonderful pole performance opportunities.
I turned to the Burlesque community for a chance to perform. I had a strong desire to express my creativity and to be up on the stage. The Burlesque world opened their arms to me, and this is where I learned how to command the stage and embrace their audience.
The more you perform, the better of a performer you will become. It takes time, practice, willingness to be critiqued and implementing what you learned.
Preparation is key. I have learned this the hard way. You have to prepare.
I would like to share with you - three easy steps to prep for a competition or show.
Top Three Ways to Prep For Competition or Performance
1. Start Early
When I have a show coming up, I start practicing months in advance. My performance piece is choreographed and completed a month prior to the event, so I can fine tune as the event approaches.
2. Don't Overtrain
There is nothing worse than going into a competition or performance with injuries. Most pole injuries are result of overuse. This is why, starting early is the key. You won't be training like crazy, as you lead up to the big event.
3. Practice In Your Costume
I learned this lesson, the day my costume fell apart on stage. My costume designer and I didn't plan properly, and I received my costume on the day of my performance. Had I planned early enough, my costume would have been done on time. Pole performances are rough on costumes.. you gotta test them out ahead of time!
You may have noticed a trend in those tips.. starting early is the key to a successful performance.
Plan it out - beginning to end - to the day you start choreographing to the moment you finish your performance on the stage.
Plan to be successful on the stage!

Blue Star
A new year brings new hope. We can learn from last year's mistakes to make this year's worse. Here are things 2015 taught us:
The old Root Beer Barrel—which moldered unused for 30 years near the northeast corner of Ferry and Center streets in Douglas—is sure to be an attraction when placed on the southwest corner.
Is it an awning? Umbrella? Butterfly? Whatever, it's gone from 790 Lake St.
Saugatuck may not be Outside magazine's Best Small Town Ever, but don't worry. They'll have another online poll next year.
Put those plans for an R.J. Peterson-City of Douglas love fest and Kum-ba-ya sing on hold.

A rare summer resident in Wisconsin, the northern mockingbird is often seen so sporadically around the state that searching for evidence of breeding is not unlike looking for a needle in a haystack.
In fact, Sam Robbins wrote in 1991 that on average eight sightings were reported each year since 1960. With that knowledge, Goose Pond Sanctuary staff felt very fortunate to spot a northern mockingbird atop a tree along the eastern edge of the Hopkins Road Prairie on June 25th.
The northern mockingbird is fairly easy to identify and frequently gives a "wing flash" display, where it half or fully opens its wings in jerky intermediate steps, showing off the big white patches. We frequently think of the northern mocking bird as a southern species. This might be one species that increases in Wisconsin with climate change.
The bird was heard before it was seen, stringing together many different calls in a seemingly endless effort – a characteristic of the species. An adept mimic, the northern mockingbird is able to perfectly replicate many of Wisconsin's beloved bird calls, including those of the American robin, eastern bluebird, mourning dove, tree swallow, whip-poor-will, and meadowlark. Each individual continues to add new sounds to its range, and an adult male may learn around 200 songs in its lifetime. Northern Mockingbirds sing all through the day, and often into the night. Most nocturnal singers are unmated males, which sing more than mated males during the day, too. Nighttime singing is more common during the full moon.
Several days after the first sighting, David Shealer, a black tern researcher from Loras College, spotted a northern mockingbird on a telephone wire near the intersection of Highways 22 and 51/60 in North Leeds, less than a mile northeast of Hopkins Road Prairie. Despite our best efforts to locate the bird, this was the last sighting near Goose Pond Sanctuary.
Northern mockingbirds are often seen singing high atop vegetation, fences, and telephone wires, but prefer feeding in areas with open ground and shrubby vegetation, like hedges, fruiting bushes, and thickets.
In early summer, Sue Foote-Martin, co-manager of Goose Pond Sanctuary, spotted a northern mockingbird at their property in Columbia County that has an easement held by Madison Audubon Society. That made three sightings in one summer in Columbia County – not too shabby.
Columbia County has a history of northern mockingbird nesting activity, with two of the seven confirmed nesting sites found within a few miles of Goose Pond during the six years of the first Wisconsin Breeding Bird Atlas. Nests can be found in trees and shrubs 3-10 feet off the ground, but may be even higher. Hopefully our shrub plantings at Goose Pond will attract northern mockingbirds in the future. Atlas workers will have to be extremely vigilant and very lucky if they hope to find the needle in the haystack.

Lamy caused a lot of shoulders to shrug a couple years ago when they released the Lamy "LX," which to many people looked just like a pricier Lamy AL-Star in three new color options and a new nib. And honestly, that's really what it is, though I do like both the redesigned nib and the new color schemes.
There's not too much new here to review. The Lamy LX is very much an "upgraded" version of the AL-Star, and the functionality is the same. Let's be clear: you're paying a premium for looks, from the "iPhone-style" anodizing, to the redesigned nib, to the premium packaging. All of this boosts the price of the LX to $50+ at most retailers, compared to $38 for a standard AL-Star. Whether or not the upgrade is worth it to you depends on your own aesthetic preference, and I will say that the redesigned nib looks stellar. It also feels slightly stiffer than the standard Lamy Safari/AL-Star stainless steel nib, so if you prefer a true "nail," you might want to consider this pen. If you missed my earlier review of the Lamy AL-Star, you can check it out here. It's a great pen, but I think over time I've come to prefer the Safari since it's lighter and better balanced, IMHO.
Takeaways and Where to Buy
Again, don't buy a Lamy LX thinking that you're going to get something other than an AL-Star, at least as far as the core writing experience is concerned. That said, I'm not sorry that I have this "ruthenium" pen in my collection - it looks great, and the nib writes smoothly with no hiccups.
You can purchase the Lamy LX from our sponsor Pen Chalet, which currently has them on sale at $49, before any applicable coupon codes or further discounts. The LX is available in four colors: Gold, Palladium, Rose Gold, and Ruthenium, which will match up well with whatever color iPhone you carry (assuming you're an Apple fan).
Disclaimer: I purchased this ink from Pen Chalet using affiliate credit. I was not compensated monetarily for this review, though this post does contain affiliate links.

Thank you to 🔷 @angelikaulfvin 🔷for this beautiful view in Sölsburg. Love the color palette. My family is Swedish and I hope to one day visit.
Located on the southeastern tip of Sweden, the port town of Sölvesborg was founded in the 12th century, between the mountain Ryssberget and the bay to the east (Sölvesborgsviken), but the city itself has grown up around the church, the monastery and later on the castle. The oldest part of the church of Saint Nicholas is from the 12th century. In the 14th century, the church formed part of a Carmelite convent. In 1564 Sölvesborg took over the city charter of Elleholm.
The origin of the name Sölvesborg is unclear, but is believed to come from the founder of the castle, Sölfwitz or Sölvitz. The name thus means the castle (Borg) of Sölfwitz. Others claim that the mentioned Sölve might be the Norse Viking King Sölve or Salve.

For most of the people, overdosing on probiotics is simply unpleasant. It will probably happen after both consuming probiotic meals or taking dietary supplements. Probably the most serious response microorganisms is acute diarrhea, and imagine me, you don't wish to happen to you. I've always puzzled why a party that champions small business doesn't do extra to assist people who need to start small companies. We regularly hear that they're the engines of job growth within the US, but, we make it so very laborious for folks to strike out on their very own.
After a number of months of feelings like crap, bouts of nausea for so long as two weeks at a stretch and heartburn that started in my gut and traveled all the best way to the tip of my tongue, those symptoms simply vanished. I used to be advantageous. Hey, I was damn glad they had been gone. I didn't miss them, the doc, or the medical checks one bit.
One of the things I found most interesting was our dialog about leadership in an trade where most organizations are venture-based, and groups might form for a day or many years, depending on the length of the mission. We shut on a dialogue about growing a private model, which I feel is particularly beneficial for any skilled to think about.
Whenever you add benefits, it's important to add premium. I have seen premiums enhance between 5% and about 15% since October 1 of this yr. Now I'm not positive the actual distinction if I have to pay extra for the service and don't have any deductible or co-pay, or if I pays much less and have a co-pay or a deductible. Stroke knowledgeable Dr Anna Ranta talks about the significance of the FAST marketing campaign message – and the actual distinction it may well make.
