Health And Nutrition
Health and nutrition can enhance the recovery process and enrich quality of life – mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Alcoholism and drug addiction are diseases that have a wide-ranging negative impact on an individual's well-being.
The essence of recovery is changing negative behaviors into positive ones.
Good nutrition, relaxation, and exercise all play an important role in successful change. Learning to make healthy food choices is important to achieving a healthy lifestyle.
Nutrition Is The Science Of Diet And Health
Substance abuse and poor health and nutrition often go hand-in-hand, one intensifying the other. Dietary imbalances, in particular those related tovitamins, healthy fats, good carbs and proteins, wreak havoc on the health of drug and alcohol abusers.
They are at risk of developing a wide variety of medical problems, including heart disease or diabetes. These are often accompanied by many psychological and behavioral issues.
Because of drug and alcohol abuse, users have neglected their diet and experience gastrointestinal disorders such as diarrhea, constipation (an inability to digest foods properly) along with a poor appetite.
As a result, they have a special need for foods that are high in nutrients to rebuild damaged tissues, organs and regain appropriate functioning of the various systems including the nervous and gastrointestinal systems.
Recovery from substance abuse results in additional demands on the body, including metabolism (processing energy), organ function, and mental well-being.
Proper health and nutrition helps the healing process.
Nutrients supply the body with energy and substances to build and maintain healthy organs and fight off infection.
The three basic nutritional components found in food that are used for energy are: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Some alcoholics ingest as much as 50 percent of their total daily calories from alcohol, often neglecting important foods.
Impairment Of Nutrient Digestion – Health And Nutrition
Nutrients are essential for proper body function; proteins, vitamins, and minerals provide the tools that the body needs to perform properly. Drugs and alcohol can disrupt body function by causing nutrient deficiencies.
Once ingested, food must be digested (broken down into small components) so it is available for energy and maintenance of body structure and function.
After digestion, food goes to the stomach and intestines, with help from the pancreas. The nutrients from digested food are absorbed from the intestines into the blood and carried to the liver. The liver prepares nutrients either for immediate use or for storage and future use.
Drugs and alcohol impair nutrient absorption by damaging the cells lining the stomach and intestines and disabling transport of some nutrients into the blood. In addition, nutritional deficiencies themselves may lead to further absorption problems.
For example, folate deficiency alters the cells lining the small intestine, which in turn impairs absorption of water and nutrients including glucose, sodium, and additional folate.
Research indicates that many alcoholics and drug addicts who are hospitalized for medical complications do experience severe malnutrition.
Substance abusers tend to eat poorly, often eating less than the amounts of food necessary to provide sufficient carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins A and C, the B vitamins, and minerals such as calcium and iron.
Nutrition Impacts Cravings For Drugs And Alcohol
Every newly recovering addict struggles with craving to use alcohol and drugs. Research has shown that a diet with the right types of high protein and high carbohydrate-rich foods can make a big difference.
Food affects mood. Along with amino acids, deficiency of nutrients like folic acid and the other B-complex vitamins also have a serious and negative impact.
Sugar and caffeine can contribute to mood swings, so intake of both should reduce during the early stages of recover.
Alcohol and drug use prevents the body from properly processing two important amino acids, tyrosine and tryptophan. They are responsible for the production ofnorepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin.
These compounds are neurotransmitters that are essential for emotional stability, mental clarity, and a general state of well-being. Decreased levels of these neurotransmitters negatively affect mood and behavior.
Tyrosine is a precursor to the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine…chemical messengers that promote mental acuity and alertness.
It is one a nonessential amino acid found in protein-rich foods such as meat, poultry, seafood and tofu.
Tryptophan is integral to the production of serotonin, which has a calming effect and is important for proper sleep. It is found in foods such as bananas, milk and sunflower seeds, as well as turkey meat.
Nutrition Deficiencies May Cause Relapse
Relapse to using drugs and alcohol is also more likely when blood sugar levels fluctuate due to the irregular intake of food, which is why regular meals are so important.
Addicts and alcoholics often forget what it's like to be hungry and instead interpret this feeling as a drug craving, so they should be encouraged to consider the possibility that they may be hungry when cravings become strong.
During recovery from substance abuse, dehydration is common and it is important to emphasize adequate intake of fluids during and in between meals.
Appetite usually returns during recovery, which may cause a tendency to overeat, particularly for people who were taking stimulants. The person should be instructed to consume healthy meals and snacks and to avoid high-calorie foods with low nutritive value.
Principles To Help Improve Lasting Healthy And Recovery
- Physical activity and adequate rest
- Vitamin and mineral supplements
- Nutritious meals and snacks
- Reduce caffeine and eliminate smoking, if possible.
Vitamins And Minerals
Regular mealtimes are recommended daily. A meal plan that focuses on a low-fat diet, with increased intake ofprotein, complex carbohydrates, and dietary fiber is recommended.
Due to deficiencies in vitamins caused by irregular eating habits during the period of substance abuse, supplementation with vitamins and minerals during recovery may be helpful.
Specific vitamins supplementation may include B-complex, zinc, and vitamins A and C.
Benefits Of Multivitamins
In order for the human body to grow, to remain strong and healthy, it has to perform metabolism-the whole group of chemical reactions happening at the cellular level.
Vitamins are essential to this process, but these organic compounds don't naturally exist in our bodies; we have to go out and get them.
Recovering addicts are typically low on, or virtually depleted of, many basic vitamins. Restoring the body with these vitamins is therefore crucial to addiction recovery.
Why Do We Need Fats?
A proper balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids not only contribute to the normal development of the body, but studies have shown they may provide a host of other benefits, including reducing the risk of heart disease and some cancers, as well as helping depression.
Omega-3 fatty acids are found in canola oils, soybeans, walnuts, and leafy greens like lettuce, kiwi, and very importantly, fish oils (which you get when you eat oily fish such as herring, mackerel, trout, salmon, sardines, and albacore tuna).
Omega-3 fatty acids can also be found in a pill or gel tablet form. Omega-6 fatty acids are found in nuts, cereals (wheat, rice, oats, corn) whole-grain breads, vegetable oils, eggs and poultry.
What Are Good Carbohydrates?
The bloodstream delivers glucose to cells, where it serves as an energy source for metabolism.
The human body can typically maintain a rigid blood-glucose level, but an addict's poor diet causes the blood-glucose levels to vary widely-and dangerously.
Drastic changes in the levels can adversely affect the mood and personal outlook of an addict in recovery. Focus on eating carbs that contain a low glycolic index.
Here Are Some Good Health And Nutrition Guidelines
- Use breakfast cereals based on oats, barley and bran
- Use breads with wholegrain, stone-ground flour, sour dough
- Reduce the amount of potatoes you eat
- Enjoy all other types of fruit and vegetables
- Use Basmati or Doongara rice
- Enjoy pasta, noodles, quinoa
- Eat plenty of salad vegetables with a vinaigrette dressing
Why Are Proteins Important?
Addicts in recovery often have difficulty concentrating, in part because of the dopamine deficiencies they developed during their addiction.
Proteins rich in tyrosine, found in foods such as avocados, poultry, fish, yogurt, sprouts and garlic help the brain produce dopamine and can improve both the depth and the length of a patient's concentration capacity.
Improve Your Chances For Success!
Learning and applying aspects of good Health and Nutrition become critical in the recovery process and is very instrumental in improving chances for success.

Jonny Briggs's Monstrares opened last week, where visitors came out for one of the least brutally freezing nights in a while. That's not to say it was not brutally freezing, it was, just less so. While we are all celebrating the failure of the weather services 100% certainty of snow today, yesterday and the day before, look back and see the attendees at Julie Meneret Contemporary Art . Some of these art patrons are not ever wearing coats, and there are a relatively small amount of hats (although hats can be misleading, as silly hats are pretty hip these days). It was cold, and the night was dark and it was only 6pm.
The work itself was good - the patterns of gaudy wallpaper hiding models, and small fingers peering around the edges of the photo kept the work light hearted, while giving the eye something to focus on away from the busy print motif. The most interesting piece was Filling the void a sculpture and photograph; in the photograph a square had been cut from the subject's face creating the void. Then, on a pedestal in front of the print was a square sculpture of the middle of a man's face resplendent with a gallic nose.
The gallery is definitely worth a daytime visit, before the frost and salt etch their indelible scar onto your shoes, mixed media - but be warned there are a lot of cold blues and what the viewer really wants to see, as this Winter, thankfully, comes to a close, are warm reds and perhaps purple. Purple at the least.

3rd April 2015 – Prague, Czech Republic
The Vlatava river raged violently below, And the winds mated with the castle dome. But in the lilting tones of a jazz saxophone, I found myself feeling like I was already home.
The Charles Bridge in Prague, is a busker's paradise. Many artists, musicians and performers gather on the bridge to showcase their art. But one group stands out among all of them, simply because they are so famous.
The bridge band – yes, that is the name – is headed by Jan Novak, and they play everyday from 1 pm to 3.30 pm at the bridge. Everyday. Unless the weather is hopeless.
Well, today the weather was great. And as we walked into the Charles Bridge, the soothing sounds of jazz invades your ears and will stay there for a while. These guys are so good, that the traffic on the bridge literally stops to watch them perform.

beatTracts is an interactive soundscape consisting of several elliptical zones each containing their own track of music. Only when a body enters a zone will a track play. Each track has been composed to compliment the other which enables a harmonious layering of music.
Inspired by a personal struggle with vision loss, beatTracts is experienced in complete darkness and participants rely on spatial audio cues to perceive the surroundings and interactions.
There are three essential components to beatTracts: a focus on audioception (hearing) over opthalmoception (sight), occurrence in real space and real time, and the interactivity among persons present.
To achieve the soundscape, four tracts (i.e., large areas) are delineated (invisibly to participants), each holding their own instrument identity and positioned near its correlated speaker. The identities include piano, percussion, trap, and synthesizer. Within each tract, 2-3 elliptical zones of varying sizes are arranged and each zone contains a single track of music. The music tracks are continuously aligned in tempo to allow for a harmonious layering should multiple zones be activated simultaneously.
Though the space is expansive and free of physical barriers each movement and change in population affect the dynamics and locations of the sounds, including the instrument tracks, volume, and tempo.
System Parts
Six parts work together within the beatTracts system: camera, openFrameworks, Ableton Live, audio interface, speakers. The inputs are the number of persons and their x,y location and the outputs are volume, tempo, and location of different sounds (see Figure 3).
OpenFrameworks uses openCV to parse through the visual information detected by the camera. The camera sets an initial picture of the space to use as a constant and with each new frame, the shifts in pixels against the constant are interpreted as blobs (or people). Once blobs are detected, several if statements are run to determine the center x,y locations (centroid) of each blob. If within a specific zone, the volume is calculated along a curve function and a message with the volume for the zone (or track) activated is sent via LiveOSC to Ableton Live (an audio program). Depending on the number of blobs detected (where one blob is equal to one person), a message with a specific tempo is also sent via LiveOSC to Ableton Live. The greater the number of blobs, the greater the tempo.

The basic ideas behind httpd and apr are: o There is a set development location (currently trunk) which operates under CTR. o There is a set release branch location which only operates on RTC. All code patches must first be applied on the development location and then be proposed for backport and obtain 3 (or more) +1 votes. The premise is that there is a codebase which is CTR and thus very free and easy, but it is never directly in a "to be released" path. All code that is destined for actual release must be applied to the stable/release branch via a RTC method. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

The Faulty Globalization of India
"Slumdog Millionaire" is a movie made by British filmmaker Danny Boyle. His representation of India is not an authentic vision of India, but rather, a Westernized view. However, Boyle seems aware of this as is demonstrated by Jamal's statement to American tourists after he is beaten up by a cab driver, that now they saw the "real India." This line is reminiscent of another Western vision of India, E.M. Forster's A Passage to India, where British tourists want to see the "real India," resulting in tragedy. The movie's strength lies in showing the two different India's in existence. The movie takes place mostly in Mumbai and the city is split between the slums, and the "regular," or familiar to Westerners, existence of everyone else. Boyle and his crew moved into the slums and pulled out a few of the "attractive" or more Western looking kids to act in his movie, leaving behind the rest. It was stated that some of the proceeds of the movie would be put in a fund to try to improve living conditions in the Mumbai slums. The movie brings exposure of the lifestyle so many Indians are afflicted with, but stays away from the politics of why people are living this way.
India has made incredible progress in becoming a modern nation. Simon Gikandi, in his article "Globalization and the Claims of Postcoloniality" says, "Unsure how to respond to the failure of the nationalist mandate, which promised modernization outside the tutelage of colonialism, citizens of the postcolony are more likely to seek their global identity by invoking the very logic of Enlightenment that postcolonial theory was supposed to deconstruct" (630). After the departure of Great Britain from India in the mid 20th century, India did not return to its Islamic Imperial government. The Mogul Empire was demolished with the Western invaders, and the nation was secularized. India simply emulated the Western style of government by becoming a democracy with a parliament, and president. Although the colonial structure was broken, India was left to adopt the structure for itself, which legitimizes Gikandi's statement.
Globalization has done more for India than supplying it with a form of government. It has changed the face of its major cities, provided jobs, enhanced the life of many of its citizens, and created a culture of consumerism. From Western standards, these are positive changes that are improving life for Indians, and making India a viable partner in international trade and politics. The downside to globalization is that India has not adapted its culture along with the technological and globalization developments. Millions of people are still caught by their caste and are unable to improve their condition of life. Too many people are still simply trying to survive and are denied education and jobs.
The caste system dates back to ancient India and was not given up after the British invasion. Keeping the social structure the way it was benefitted the colonizers because so many people were of a poor caste, that it was easy to replicate the system by creating the British as the new highest caste. This enabled Britain to maintain social control over Indians for a century, along with the military and government support. In order for the caste system, and essentially the slum situation, to persist it "needs to reproduce the conditions of its existence, and it will have to do this by engaging with identity, interests, consciousness, and reproduction of means of production and reproduction" (Natrajan 239). India is using its money to further develop what is already developed, rather than dismantle the cultural issues that are keeping most of the country in poverty. Ultimately, for India to truly join the successes of the West, they will have to confront their internal poverty and provide its citizens with proper housing, jobs, health care, education, and etc. There is a radical difference between those who have been "globalized" and those still living traditional lives.
One example of a people that have been left out of the benefits of globalization is the nomads of India. As their country develops all around them they are shunned by society. Even lower caste Indians despise these nomads and consider them "gypsies," a pejorative term throughout the world. These nomadic peoples have practiced the same lifestyle for millennia. Their livelihoods consist of traveling occupations such as being blacksmiths, shepherds, hunting and gathering, "salt traders, fortune-tellers, conjurers, ayurvedic healers, jugglers, acrobats, grindstone makers, storytellers, snake charmers, animal doctors, tattooists, [and[ basketmakers" (Lancaster). The reputation of nomads suffered under British rule and Indians adopted the Western attitude toward them. The government keeps pushing them farther out from the cities and forces them to live in their own private slums on the outskirts of towns. India should focus on its nomad population and find ways to recognize their contribution to society and accommodate their needs. Instead, they are viewed as less than human, much the same way the British viewed Indians, Africans and Native Americans.
The problem of child labor is directly attributable to globalization. Factories and sweatshops are often filled with child employees, who make a very small amount of money. Parents are forced to send their children to work because they are doing all they can to survive and they can't keep up with their debts. As manufacturing has grown, both for Western and Indian consumption, the labor has been provided by India's poor, with little or no access to what they are producing. The West conquered this problem in the early 20th century, although according to Zehra F. Arat there are 2 million child workers in the United States today (180). This is an example that the problem never disappears, but it can be controlled. Another problem that exists because of the lack of regulation in the slums is child prostitution. So many young girls are forced into prostitution in order to survive and the government is not doing enough to prevent this kind of abuse.
India is going through a type of identity crisis. They are not beholden to Europeans any longer and are attempting to raise their status in the eyes of the world. They have partnered with companies in the U.S. and other Western nations looking for cheap labor. They have a Western style government. The have a strong military. They have an elite consumer class who are living lives similar to that of Americans in terms of materialism and interests. But they also have the situation of most of their population is poor, some irreparably so. This is quite literal. In America one can go to school, work hard and apply oneself, and usually this has a good outcome. In India, one needs a miracle, such as the children who were arbitrarily picked from the slums to be in a big- budget, big attention grabbing movie. Why those specific kids? What about all the millions who live that life everyday, throughout generations? India needs to solve these problems before the whole nation will truly be part of the global international community.

Globalization and Exploitation in Post-Colonial Nations
Danny Boyle's movie "Slumdog Millionaire" is a contemporary example of the problems of exporting Western ideas through globalization. When the West first came in contact with the East it had disastrous effects for the inhabitants and their cultures. Africa and Asia were divided and conquered by invading European, and later American, colonizers. The first wave of globalization brought along with it slavery, disease, disregard for human life and culture, and a sense of superiority that many people around the world are now rebelling against in the hopes of gaining some national self-esteem. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries globalization has an entirely different connotation. Technologies such as the internet, medicines, a global trade and economic system, and the proliferation of the English language and Western ideas has brought people together in positive ways that have never previously existed. However, this modern globalization does not have positive results for everyone. Very often the gap between the rich and the poor are larger than in America. Social inequities, such as labor diversification and the treatment of women fall to the wayside in favor of the productivity of international relations. Citizens in Western countries are struggling to find jobs as more and more manufacturing jobs and call center jobs are being out-sourced. And Western values are being challenged by immigrants who bring their cultural and traditional practices, such as Sharia Law and female circumcision to their new homes in America and Europe. "Slumdog Millionaire" and Simon Gikandi's article "Globalization and the Claims of Postcoloniality" explore the cultural and social exploitation that still occur due to the radical difference between people living their traditional lives and those who have been "globalized" in countries like India.

Globalization and Postcolonialism
Some general ideas about globalization:
Globalization is a word that is thrown around a lot and therefore can seem to have a vague meaning. Fernando Coronil, in his article "Towards a Critique of Globalcentrism: Speculations on Capitalism's Nature," focuses on globalization in an economic and geographic sense. I like what he says about a need to reorganize and redefine groups of people. A lot of discussion about globalization is the idea of boundaries between peoples and nations being blurred. But I think it is a mistake to tout this as a success of international relations. Most of the world is still extremely divided by issues of race and money, and its relationship to the Western World. Iran is a good example. Iranians fundamentally look at life differently than Americans. I know I am generalizing here, and certainly do not want to forget that they are individuals too, but, in general, they have a different moral and ethical outlook on life. Their decisions about how to live are contrary to how we want them to live. Women do not have the same opportunities as we do. Their economic status and freedom is nowhere near ours. I do think that in some ways the world is becoming smaller thanks to technologies and the proliferation of English and Western ideas, but it is too soon to claim the erasure of boundaries. A lot of the tensions today occur because the U.S. and other Western nations are trying to erase these boundaries in order to reinstate their hegemonic power. Maybe they are not looking to colonize land and peoples, but there are other things to control, such as economic and political ideologies. I don't think what I am saying is too far off of Coronil because he also talks about the dark side of globalization: "While the elites of these nations are increasingly integrated in transnational circuits of work, study, leisure, and even residence, their impoverished majorities are increasingly excluded from the domestic economy and abandoned by their states" (368). It seems everywhere that the rich are getting richer, the middle class is vanishing, and the poor are getting poorer. Again, these are generalizations, but it is important to distinguish between the elite immigrants who have been educated and able to work or have money, and the millions of countrymen who are still living in their broken down native countries, or have immigrated but not failed to substantially improve their lives. Simon Gikandi says in his article "Globalization and the Claims of Postcoloniality," "The majority of the postcolonial subjects who live through the experience of globalization cannot speak. And when they speak, they sometimes speak a language that is alien to their liberal sympathizers or the postcolonial émigré elite" (644). I think that over time, as technologies and opportunities continue to progress that eventually other nations will be able to "catch up," but that is going to be on their terms, not ours. I like Gikandi's discussion about how English brought together writers from colonized countries. A discourse about the struggles for post-colonial identity is possible with English as the vehicle. If everyone were only knowledgeable in their own language, it would be very difficult to communicate and to move forward. And some great pieces of literature would not have been written, (or translated, as may be the case) robbing the world of some great thinkers.

Coyote Provides Fire
Long ago, when man was newly come into the world, there were days when he was the happiest creature of all. Those were the days when spring brushed across the willow tails, or when his children ripened with the blueberries in the sun of summer, or when the goldenrod bloomed in the autumn haze.
But always the mists of autumn evenings grew more chill, and the sun's strokes grew shorter. Then man saw winter moving near, and he became fearful and unhappy. He was afraid for his children, and for the grandfathers and grandmothers who carried in their heads the sacred tales of the tribe. Many of these, young and old, would die in the long, ice-bitter months of winter.
Coyote, like the rest of the People, had no need for fire. So he seldom concerned himself with it, until one spring day when he was passing a human village. There the women were singing a song of mourning for the babies and the old ones who had died in the winter. Their voices moaned like the west wind through a buffalo skull, prickling the hairs on Coyote's neck.
"Feel how the sun is now warm on our backs," one of the men was saying. "Feel how it warms the earth and makes these stones hot to the touch. If only we could have had a small piece of the sun in our teepees during the winter."
Coyote, overhearing this...
Based on the elements of the "Trickster" we have discussed so far, come up with your own unique conclusion by yourself or with your row to this short story. It is completely open ended; just use the elements we have mentioned as guidelines to how you think the rest of the story goes. Post your final product with an original title onto your blog when you are finished!
My part begins here: The beginning is from the group presentation.
Coyote sympathizes with the need of humans for warmth because they lack fur. First he gives them fur, but this causes anger amongst the other animals because he took the fur from them to make human clothing. This makes Coyote ostracized and he feels hurt because he had tried to help the humans, but at the expense of others. He calls out to lightening to avenge him and causes fire to follow him as he runs which the humans are able to grasp for their use, but the animals get burned out of their homes, and Coyote is forever banished from the community and has to live on the edges of society.

The Modern Day Poet
The road less traveled chose Frost,
Wordsworth's a wandering cloud,
But oh my, who am I?
I have no one to call "My Captain,"
I can't go to Innisfree.
My raven flew off and left me
With nothing but misery.
With a drop of Emily's genius,
And Hardy's dark imagery,
I could live in secret solace
Of what a poet I could be!
Quotes and references from
"She walks in Beauty" by Lord Byron.
"The Road not Taken" by Robert Frost.
"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" by William Wordsworth.
"Oh Captain! My Captain!" by Walt Whitman.
"The Lake Isle of Innisfree" by William Butler Yeats.
"The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe.
Emily Dickinson, reclusive poetic genius.
Thomas Hardy, turn of the century cynic.


text: When using the late policy, If a quiz has been allowed to have multiple attempts and is set to take the highest score, If the newest submission is late the late policy overrides the highest score function and applies the policy to the newest score on the test. Has this been caught in the beta testing? I would think that if the teacher allows the highest score grab on the multiple attempts, that it would apply the late policy only if the newest score was the highest, or override the late policy.

Good morning, good afternoon, or goodnight friends, how are you? I hope you had a wonderful week. I'm mildly stressed out, I will admit it, because well, erm, my diploma relies on whether or not I do this little something right next week, so… fingers crossed for me? To take my mind off things a bit, I think today will be one of these days where I tackle a very important issue, in all of our bookworms lives: THE TBR PROBLEM, and everything that goes with it.
For those of you unfamiliar with that term, or new to the book blogging scene, TBR stands for, To Be Read, a.k.a ALL of those books you keep putting on your shelves, buying while you have absolutely NO NEED for new books, and adding to your Goodreads shelves because "oh, that one looks pretty good". As bookworms, we are ALL faced with that problem, even MORE with book blogging. Because talking to people about books means finding out about new books, and, once again, adding MORE books to our TBR. Like we need it (We don't. But let's pretend we do. We can't resist). We're all going to die happily crushed under a pile of books after all, right?
But hey, what are we doing with those books we used to love? Those books we were anxiously waiting the sequel for and wanted to re-read, before actually getting into that final installment (and because we kind of read a gazillion books in between and have no idea what happened before) ? WHAT DO WE DO THEN?
If there's ONE HUGE STRUGGLE we bookworms have to encounter, it's that one. On one side, there's this old love, this book you want to re-read because it made us feel incredible/was unforgettable, or just because you can't remember a thing about it and just bought the sequel. On the other side, there are these thousands of new books you just added to your TBR because a friend recommended it / the hype is too strong / the cover is gorgeous / you just WANT to read it. So…HOW CAN WE CHOOSE? Which call is the strongest? That old childhood love you can't help but come back to, or that new hot guy or girl in town that you can't help but swoon at like you're really going to have an epic romance with that book? This problem remains unsolved, and the struggle is real.

text: Hey everyone! It's Jamison from Rogue Engineer again. This time I wanted to share a super cool yet very easy DIY project that the whole family can enjoy. Every year we go on a beach vacation with a bunch of our family. We often find ourselves out side playing yard games and enjoying the pool or beach. Well this year my wife, Jamie, saw these awesome yard dice online but they were selling for $50! We had some scrap 4×4 and she made them in no time. Below I'll show you exactly how she made them! Oh and you can find a list of yard dice games here.

Spotlight on Nottingham: Hotels, event space and much more
1 February 2019
A city with a rich history but it's the young population that's helping the local economy to thrive.
In recent years Nottingham has justifiably gained a reputation for being one of the most vibrant and creative places in the UK. Of course, it has always been a magnet to attract tourists through the legend of Robin Hood, but there is more to this city than men in tights.
From a commercial perspective, over £500m was invested into Nottinghamshire in 2017 through retail, office and industrial acquisitions – the highest figure since the 2008 recession.
Growth has largely been driven by leisure and property fuelled, in part, by its large student population. In fact, nearly 30% of people living in Nottingham are aged 18-29 and that huge pool of young talent is starting new enterprises and helping the local the economy to grow.
Earlier this year, Nottingham joined Liverpool as the top-ranked UK city for buy to let. The next challenge is to try and deliver more Grade A office space, especially within the city centre.
Elsewhere, Nottingham Castle is currently being given a £30m facelift. The castle and the network of caves that flow underneath the city provide an integral part of the Robin Hood story. The redevelopment, which will be completed in 2020, should further enhance its status as one of the biggest attractions outside of the London.
Award-winning restaurants
The UK's chain restaurants may be going through testing times, but in Nottingham new and independent enterprises continue to open across the city.
You will be spoilt for choice when it comes curries along Maid Marian Way (aka the Madras Mile) from Mogal E Azam, which recently celebrated its 40th year in business, to the city's best lamb chops at MemSaab and contemporary Indian cuisine at Cumin.
At the very top end, there is Restaurant Sat Bains. This doesn't promise much in terms location given it's situated underneath a flyover. But it consistently ranks among the best restaurants in Britain as demonstrated by the two Michelin-stars that eponymous chef has achieved for his bold and adventurous tasting menus.
A groundbreaking holiday destination
In 1987, a new concept changed the game for family holidays. Sherwood was the first Center Parcs to open in the UK. It remains as popular as ever and is expected to build on that success when a £15m revamp of the Sherwood complex is completed next summer.
The historic Lace Market is the oldest part of Nottingham's city centre. In the late 1990s, a redevelopment programme saw disused buildings and factories in this district transformed into upmarket apartments, bars, restaurants and hotels. The Lace Market Hotel is set in a Georgian Townhouse. There is an Art Deco influence about the décor and each of its 42 rooms is distinctively different. Maximum capacity for meetings is 100 buffet style and 60 theatre style
The Park Plaza provides big spacious rooms in the city centre at competitive rates. It has a maximum meetings capacity of 500 and 25 bedrooms. The same can be said for Jurys Inn, which is just a five-minute walk from Nottingham station with 274 bedrooms and maximum meetings capacity of 100 theatre style.
If you're planning to visit one of the 44,000 students who study here, then the Hilton is virtually on the doorstep of Trent University, just 22 minutes away.
Legendary watering holes
Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is Britain's oldest inn and, as you would expect, boasts a rich and colourful history. It is said that King Richard the Lionheart and his men gathered here before journeying to Jerusalem in 1189AD, hence the name.
The Cook & Hoop used to be known as the County Tavern and, in keeping with his pursuit of the darker side of life, Lord Byron would often book a room here to get the best view of a public hanging at what is now the Galleries of Justice.
Historic event spaces
There are said to be around 182,000 meeting spaces to choose from in and around the Nottingham area. The Albert Hall is a listed building that first opened in 1873 and can be found in the Castle Zone of the city centre next to the Nottingham Playhouse. Further out of town there is the East Midlands Conference Centre which can accommodate events ranging from 10 to 1000 delegates and has the De Vere Orchard Hotel on site, which boasts "sustainable offering".
If you're looking for something entirely different then the medieval St Mary's Church in the Lace Market certainly ticks that box. It can hold up to 350 people and was once frequented by Nottingham's ubiquitous outlaw.
The home of a British fashion icon
Paul Smith is one of Nottingham's favourite sons. Back in 1970, Smith opened his first boutique on Byard Lane, which only recently closed, and he still has a flagship store at the five-floor, Grade II listed Willoughby House, which is situated above the Nottingham Caves. Bridlesmith Gate is where you'll find familiar names such as BOSS, Cath Kidston, Kurt Geiger and Ted Baker. Alternatively, if you're looking for something a bit quirky, head towards the indie boutiques in Hockley, which is known the creative quarter of the city and is also home to the Broadway Cinema as well as a dizzying selection of new bars and restaurants.
Getting there
The fastest train from London to Nottingham takes 92 minutes. East Midlands airport is 13 miles from Nottingham and handles flights to over 80 destinations across Europe and America including Berlin, New York and Dubrovnik. There are plans for an East Midlands Hub station in Toton, which is currently on Nottingham's tram network and is halfway between Derby and Nottingham. The station would form part of the proposed HS2 network and will be a focal point in a major regeneration project aimed at turning Toton into an 'innovation campus'. This is in addition to getting Uber around town or using their equivalent of London's Boris Bikes Citycard Cycles.

F. Quiles García, in Atrio. Revista de Historia del Arte, Seville, 2010 (forthcoming).
We are grateful to Professor Fernando Quiles García for confirming the attribution on the basis of photographs. This set of three belongs to a group of trompe-l'oeil still lifes by Lorente Germán, all depicting similar arrangements of papers, works of art and everyday objects on shallow shelves set into wood-panelled walls. Only three of these pictures have ever been published. Two were acquired by the Louvre in 1955, one of which is another version of the picture with Tobacco smokers in the present lot, while the other centres on a canvas with Bacchus drinking wine. The pictures in the Louvre have been described by José Milicua as 'las cosas de Germán más estimables que conozco' ('Bernardo Lorente Germán: el retrato del Infante Don Fernando', in Archivo Español de Arte, CXXXVI, 1961, pp. 312-320), while Claudie Ressort and Almudena Ros de Barbero note that from 1955 on they were 'considérés par la critique comme les meileurs exemples de ce genre pratiqué à Séville au XVIIIe siècle' (Musée du Louvre, Département des peintures, Catalogue: Écoles espagnole et portugaise, Paris, 2002, p. 313). The remaining known example is a third version of the Tobacco smokers, once with Caylus and now in a private collection, Madrid.
Enrique Valdivieso supports the hypothesis that the series of pictures may have been intended as an allegory of the Five Senses, with the Louvre Wine drinker representing Taste and the Tobacco smokers representing Smell (Pintura barroca sevillana, Seville, 2003, p. 154. The present lot lends valuable support to this theory, as the two other compositions, no other versions of which are known, can be read as allegories of Hearing (the picture with the mandolin) and Sight (as symbolised by the evocation of sight-reading in the composition centring on sheet music, as well as by the perspectival recession in the juxtaposed landsapes).

Meet My Network: Featuring Beth Klepper, Owner - Mainstream Video Production
* Meet My Network is a monthly blog series where Alyce highlights outstanding individuals within her network to share their professional and personal accomplishments *
When you're least expecting it life has the power of connecting you to amazing people that will turn out to become some of your closest and most valuable relationships. In what feels like a blink of moment you find yourself sharing ideas, comforting one another and pushing each other to become the best version of yourself. For me, one of those moments took place when I met Beth Klepper.
Over the past three years (ok, we'll call it 3.5 years to be fair) Beth has become one of my most trusted advisors and someone who I wholeheartedly value, both from a personal and professional perspective. Beth's background is pretty impressive, if I may say so myself, so let me share some of her stats with you.
She's a proud Colorado Native (100 points right there), a graduate from Colorado State University with a degree in Speech Communication and Media and received her master's degree in Film and Visual Cultures from Middlesex University in London. She spent 10+ years as an Entertainment and Television Producer before taking the leap in 2014 to start her own business, Mainstream Video Production (MVP).
Today, MVP works with clients ranging from solopreneurs, associations, large corporations and everything in between. What makes Beth and her team stand apart from other video production companies is not only their knowledge and insight in the industry but their genuine passion and care for each and every client they work with. Don't just take my word for it, click here to watch and read some of MVP's client testimonials!
Speaking from personal experience one of Beth's greatest strengths is her ability to listen to her clients needs and then write personalized scripts on their behalf. This results in a video that truly sounds like the voice of the client. Looking for proof? Watch my introduction video by clicking here. I'll even let you in on a little secret...Beth wrote the script aka the words that are coming out of my mouth and they are as natural to me as the time and hassle it would have taken me to try and write my own script. Trust me, this is no easy task and when you find someone that can do this as well as Beth you know you've struck video gold!
Video is the wave of the future and if you're looking to learn more about how you can work with an incredible team to help you or your company produce powerful and results driven videos then look no further than Beth and the incredible team at MVP. Check out MVP's videos here!
If you would have asked me four years ago who I could lean on, work with, have as a client and most importantly call a friend I wouldn't have been able to say Beth, simply because our paths hadn't crossed. It's crazy to think how much life can change for the better when you start meeting the right people and commit to holding one another accountable to reach their respective goals.
A HUGE thank you to Beth for all of her support and friendship and cheers to many more successful years of working and supporting each other as #BizSoulMates.

Durham man charged with second-degree murder in case of body found in parking lot
A Durham man was arrested Tuesday and charged in connection with a July murder.
Demetrius Lynn, 26, was charged with second-degree murder related to the death of Antonio Devon Wright, 33, of Burlington.
Wright was found by Durham officers, police said, shortly before 7 a.m. on July 16, lying in an apartment complex parking lot within the 1400 block of N.C. 54 Highway.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators connected Wright's death to a domestic disturbance that occurred on July 15 shortly before midnight in the 4300 block of Waterford Valley Drive, police said.
Officers drove to Waterford Valley Drive and found Gerald Braddy, 25, who had been shot in his shoulder, according to police spokeswoman Kammie Michael.
"Braddy told officers a friend had been with him, but he did not know where he went after the shooting," Micheal explained. "Investigators later learned that Wright was Braddy's friend who had been with him on Waterford Valley Drive."
Lynn was charged with second-degree murder in the case, and he was placed in the Durham County jail under a $100,000 bond.

God At First Sight
God came down at Christmas—not with a mystic flash of light or a trumpet heard 'round the world. The God of the universe, in all his glory, broke through to humanity by becoming human. He put himself in a position of neediness, relying on flawed humans to overcome their doubts and exemplify patience, to care for and raise him, and to proclaim his arrival.
The Christmas story holds the stories of very real people—Mary and Joseph, the magi, Simeon and Anna, and the shepherds—who experienced a supernatural gift, who had their worlds forever changed by the birth of Jesus.
Join us for God at First Sight as we see the impact of those encounters and what they mean for us.

"love conquers all." please stop with this shit.
love isn't some giant entity who's going to bitch-slap all the bad guys, evil doers, politicians, and bullies of the world. anthropomorphizing the eternal, universal, and ubiquitous is insulting, at best, which is in essence what declaring that it will conquer anything suggests.
there's nothing to conquer, don't you see? there's much to unravel, unmemorize, unattach from, yes. but, get it into your head and heart that persisting in the definition of an enemy only keeps the fight alive, forever… how's that been working out for us so far?
wake up, polarizer.
just like all the "be thankful" posts today, amongst all the dead birds getting basted, and never ending "black friday" ads.
be truthful! you're afraid, angry, anxious, worried, pissed off, frustrated, whatever. good! fucking BE that, and keep moving. there's nothing invalid or weak about being genuine, vulnerable and real. it's the only road forward away from the ancient, archaic and violent ideas such as "love conquers all" and other such nonsense.
you are a divine, creator being. you're not a victim of anything. we are the power behind the madness, and we're the solution, should we choose to embody our truth.
love accepts all of it. greed, stupidity, war, planetary destruction, inequality… awesome! don't like it? step the fuck up and live a new story.
this isn't to blame, guilt, or shame. this is me saying you are and can embody the answer.
if you need to be reminded to be thankful, to be kind, to be compassionate, daring, courageous, generous and grateful for your life, you're already lost. you're working at and below base-level humanity. "they" love having you there so they can keep owning your thoughts (mind, electricity), your heart (creative energy, emotion, magnetism), and your bank account (resources).
it's time for next level, yes?
love embraces all. period. love will let you play small, and it will let you rebuild a civilization in your own image.
i love you.

FOR international students arriving at their dream destination abroad to start studies, there's one thing that could determine how many opportunities you'll be able to take up in your spare time: managing your money well.
We put together our top three tips for making a great start to managing your money.
Continue reading below...
Opening a bank account will not only mean you can access other services and set up subscriptions and standing orders - it also means you'll have put your money in the safest place possible.
One other aspect which is perhaps even more important, especially if there's an emergency, is that if you need to receive a money transfer from home then you'll need to have a bank account set up.
The requirements will change in each country, but try to get advice from your destination university to work out what documents you need, and you'll be able to open an account in the shortest time possible.
Now that you have a bank account, it's time to start doing some 'adulting' and actually check your statements or any other records your bank sends you.
This should help you identify how you are spending your money, and inform your future spending if you've had a rather luxurious previous month.
We'd recommend trying Money Dashboard, an app which helps you track how your spending goes over the course of the month - it's very simple to work out whether you're spending a little too much on your leisure time, for example, rather than on your health.
Students are almost always eligible for discounts, on almost anything you can think of.
Here are two ways you can always make sure you're getting good value when student discounts don't appear to be offered for what you want to buy: firstly, always search online to check whether there are promo codes you could download. Some of the discounts available with vouchers can be pretty significant.
Secondly, when you're shopping try checking if you can get essentially the same product, without paying for the brand name. Always check whether your local shop or supermarket has its own brand of any product you buy, because you could save a huge amount over the long term.

It's the Islamic month of Ramadan at the moment and this year I'm not taking part. I've decided to focus on my health as I've had such a horrendous time of it this year but as I mentioned for 9 years I've been trying to find out why I've been getting stomach/abdominal pain and only a small light has been shone on that and I'm still making my way through the medication. I do hope this is it but I'll have to see as the pain comes and goes. I have decided however that when I've completed this course of medication I will try to make up the fasts that I have missed. I hope I'm able to do it as it will be hard not having anyone else fasting the same time as me but also that health wise I can cope with it. If not there is next year, I guess.
Anyway if you are taking part in Ramadan this year I hope that you are not finding it too difficult as these long day are hard enough but with the heatwave most countries are facing at the moment making it even tougher. I hope that you stay well!
Ramadan Mubarak!

First a quick catch up: for the next several posts, I'm going to be giving you an inside look into my new series "Uniform Pets". I'll be sharing the insights and inspiration behind each piece.
The series as a whole came about as I was thinking about how we identify and categorize, specifically, dress code pertaining to jobs/organizations, as well as breeds of pets. We know a police officer in a crowd of people because we've identified their uniform. We've come to expect a certain dress code associated with our doctor's visits. If he or she were dressed in a tie dyed t-shirt and shorts, we would question their abilities and professionalism. Yet, this same doctor might be dressed that way on their "off hours". We don't have the same feelings towards a Chihuahua and a Pit bull. One has become an icon of the Hollywood elite and the other has been mired in PR issues with news reports spreading incidents of their aggressiveness.
Most of the time, we don't think about these connections. They are part of the operating system that runs below the surface. In this series, I hope to make viewers stop and think more about these connections and assumptions.
For this post I'm sharing about the inspiration behind the Girl Scout - Chihuahua.
This one reaches back to some of my earliest memories. I have a sister who is 3 years older than me. All through elementary school, she was a part of the Brownies and Girl Scouts. My mother also helped in her troop, so I would be taken along.
I remember craft projects, the uniforms, the badges and achievements. I remember sitting in the cafeteria of St. Rita's Catholic school (where we both attended) after school hours with the smell of mop water still hanging in the air. And the cookies. Oh, the cookies. That's probably the biggest marketing promotion for the Girl Scouts ever. Even to this day, I doubt people associate much else with the Girl Scouts beyond the cookies. But there is indeed MUCH more.
Consider their oath, while raising three fingers (long before a Hunger Games salute was even a thought): "A Girl Scout is ready to help out wherever she is needed. Willingness to serve is not enough; you must know how to do the job well, even in an emergency."
Later on, I did my own, albeit short, stint in the cub scouts. And even though it was short lived, I'm glad I did it. I have fond memories of pinewood derbies (but I always lost), playing "steal the bacon" with our bright yellow scarfs, and learning a little about some tools from our a neighborhood friends father who was our den leader.
This is dedicated to the scouts and leaders who at the heart of it all, looked to the needs of others rather than themselves.
And my choice of the Chihuahua just seemed appropriate for the sweet innocent look of this breed. A few friends and family members think I modeled this Chihuahua after my own, Cooper, but it's not him (honestly!). Regardless, there's something about those eyes that beckon you to buy cookies. Or an art print :)
This piece was digitally painted using my iPad Pro, and app called Procreate and Photoshop on my Macbook Pro.
It's available in 3 options:
Deluxe Matted 8x10 giclée art print (final size 11x14) - $65
Gallery Wrapped 16x20 Canvas - $320
Gallery Wrapped 24x30 Canvas (Limited Edition - 250) - $720

Sermons by Pr Edi Giudetti (Page 3)
Rejoice In Hope
Rejoice in Hope The passage we see given us in Romans 5:1-4 is one that should rejoice the hearts of all people, especially those who have taken Jesus Christ at his word and have been saved by their faith in the work that he did specifically for them on the cross. God made an opportunity for all people to be perfectly forgiven for their sin and wonderfully have their hope secured for everlasting life. This is why those who now…
Eternity Bridged
Can eternity be bridged by a conjunction? "THEREFORE being justified by faith we have peace with God" Rom 5:1. Never has a single word been so well placed as the conjunction that begins chapter 5 of Romans. All that goes before this word so perfectly linked to all that we read after it. Peace with God, it is that which God desires for all mankind. But only understanding and accepting the first four chapters of this wonderful book will again to it.
Salvation by Works or Faith?
What Saith The Scripture? Salvation, is it by works or by faith? This is the question addressed by Paul in this chapter and it is curious that there remains still so much confusion. The answer is plain, but many have sought to confuse the words in the chapter to make them not mean precisely what they say. What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he…
Justice Established Through Faith
Why does faith save? The Bible clearly teaches that we are save by faith, this passage in Romans 3 provides with clarity the its legal basis.
Every Mouth Stopped
Every Mouth Stopped What happens to us when we run out of excuses? What happens if every excuse only furthers the evidence of guilt? That is the state of all people today, Romans 1 and 2 condemns all of mankind based on what they are expected to know and that, based on what is revealed to them externally and internally, so that every mouth may be stopped and all the world guilty before God. Externally is the evidence that God…
THe Advantage
Of interest is the effort for which we, both publicly and privately, look for advantage. Privately many look to self help books or to even to their weekly horoscopes to find some sort of advantage for their lives. Business people look to build businesses or new products, sporting teams to recruit the right people, even nations looking for greater influence or power though either economy, diplomacy or military. All look for advantage. But the Jews had the advantage, the greatest advantage of all, for to them were committed the oracles of God, his own words.
Witness against ourselves
Witnessed Against Ourselves Pr Edi Giudetti 04-03-2019 The Witness of Conscience 11 For there is no respect of persons with God. 12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things…
According to our passage in Romans 2 man is inexcusable respecting his knowledge of God. Not only does he know creation itself declares the glory of God, but when it comes to morality, his judgement of the sin he sees in others condemns himself, because he does the same things. Our awareness of the sin we see in others is a self declaration that we see sin in ourselves, we have no excuse to ever think there is no right or wrong when we see wrong in others.
FOr this cause god gave them up
The Bible teaches that all mankind is without excuse to know God exists, but when what is plain concerning him is rejected, he gives them up to themselves. To their own end, man receives that which he longed for. An image is presented with a fire laden Venezuelan protester, the telling image reflects a people who voted for a socialist dictator that promised everything for nothing, today however the people are starving and rioting.
Changed the truth of god into a lie
Changed The Truth of God Into A Lie Pr Edi Giudetti 18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that…
