I had a great Mother's Day. I can't remember a Mother's Day before this one that I have been made to feel more special or appreciated. On Friday, I got to spend a fun afternoon with my Mom and sisters and a couple of cousins. Then Jeff and Anna Kate and I spent a night at the lake with his sister's family. Fishing and camping. And by camping, I mean in my sister in law's camper, which is basically like staying in a nice hotel. Because y'all know this girl doesn't do tents or snakes or bugs.
My daughter and her boyfriend surprised me by painting my kitchen while I was away, and on Sunday, they made me a beautiful surprise brunch, complete with flowers, all the food made from scratch, and the table set with the good crystal glasses.
Jeff took me shopping and waited oh so patiently while I tried on EVERY item in the store. Then proceeded to tell me he had so much fun with me. And meant it. My youngest sent me a sweet Mother's Day message. Several others gave me special gifts.
It's one of God's ways of showing me how He turns something bad into something better. One of the good things that have come out of this is Jeff's attentiveness and appreciation for me. They all went out of their way to make it a special day and it was really beautiful and I was so blessed by it.
I had always wanted to be a mom, for as long as I can remember. I think it started with my little brother. He is one of my first memories in life. I was 3 and a half when my mom brought him home. I thought he was the best thing in the world. I just assumed he was mine. I carried him around, and dressed him up and put him in my little wooden baby doll cradle, right up until he was about 3 and wouldn't fit in it anymore, bless him. 😂
Becoming a mom didn't happen as easily as I had hoped it would though. Month after month after month would go by with negative test after negative test. So I was thrilled to find out that I was finally going to have a baby.
And then 4 years later, I was lucky enough to have another one.
I have two beautiful, smart, healthy girls. What an amazing gift that I'd been blessed with. And what an enormous responsibility.
I was responsible for them. For taking care of them. Making sure every need is met. Making sure they were healthy. Happy. Safe. Making sure they felt loved. Making sure they knew about God and how much he loved them. Teaching them right from wrong. Teaching them to believe in themselves. Keeping them safe.
Did I mention keeping them safe?
Wait. a. minute.
So they aren't just cute and precious and smell yummy like Johnson and Johnson baby lotion and love me more than anything?
They are living breathing humans with bodies and spirits and souls and I'm expected not only to take care of their needs but also to NOT screw them up.
Did you other Mamas that have gone before us forget to tell us this? Or did we just not listen because that darn tiny little itty bitty onesie with the monkey on the butt was so cute we couldn't think about anything else?
Being a mom, it's wonderful and beautiful , and there are no words to describe how fulfilling it can be, but it can also be downright terrifying.
Like many of you, I'm my own worst critic. As moms, so many of us second guess every decision we make. "Was that the right way to handle that? Am I getting it right? Should I have said yes to that? Should I have said no?"
Or we beat ourselves up for the times we know for certain that we failed. For the times that we responded to them in frustration, or just plain exhaustion. For the times we had a lapse of judgement. We wonder if we scarred them for life. Or if we broke their spirit. Have we caused damage that can't be undone?
Oh how our hearts ache to go back to those moments and respond with wisdom, kindness, patience, and love.
And then there's that whole keeping them safe part. And not just their physical bodies, Lord knows that's not easy. Emily once stuck a metal key into the electrical socket and nearly electrocuted herself, and Anna Kate flipped right off the bed into the edge of a bedside table and left more blood all over our Disney hotel room than a scene from CSI.
Dear baby Jesus.
But their minds and their hearts. We especially want to protect those.
When our family fell apart last year, nothing broke my heart more than seeing how their hearts were broken. The one thing I had always been so intent that we would spare them was a broken home. And as hard as I tried, I couldn't protect them from that moment.
And I hated myself for it.
Because they are my sweet, sweet babies and I couldn't keep their world from crumbling around them.
Sometimes even when we try our best to do everything right, even when we do everything in our power to keep them from pain, even though we do everything we can to control what happens to them, sometimes things just happen that are out of our control.
The truth is that we can't protect them from the world. We can't protect them from experiencing pain.
And sometimes that's the hardest truth to learn as a Mom.
Because they aren't really in our hands. They never really were. They are His. They always have been. And although it's hard for us to imagine it's even possible, He loves them even more than we do.
We can't keep bad things from happening to them. We can't stop them from having their hearts broken. We can't spare them pain or disappointment or sadness. All we can do is just be there to love them through it.
But we can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that when they experience those things, they have a heavenly Father that will be there to comfort them, and who promises to work ALL things for their good.
I couldn't keep their world from caving in. But since that happened, they've learned about forgiveness. They've learned what humility, and what true repentance looks like. They've learned about grace. They've seen the difference in just having love for each other in a relationship and BEING love to each other in a relationship. They've learned about redemption. They've seen firsthand the goodness of God, and the way he can take something so ugly and so painful, and replace it with something beautiful. They've seen what it means to push through the hard stuff. To have faith and to have hope that the good stuff will just keep getting better.
They may not even know it, or realize that they've learned all these things yet. But in their own lives, they will have those things stored up to draw from should they ever need it. Instead of what happened to us harming them and their ability to trust or affecting their future relationships in life badly in any way, I have faith that these bits of goodness and lessons in love will be what sticks with them. I can believe in that because God promises He will redeem everything. Every bad situation or circumstance. Not just for me. Not just for Jeff. But for them too. For ALL of us.
There's another important thing that we need to remember.
We are all human. We aren't perfect. We make mistakes. And holding ourselves to this unattainable picture of parenting perfection, well, it's just not realistic. Or healthy. And while we are busy criticizing ourselves about our failures, whether they are just perceived or real, we are teaching our kids to do the same,and soon enough we see that they become all too critical of themselves too. Second guessing themselves. Never feeling like they are enough. That's not something I want to pass on to them.
Sometimes as parents we worry over making the right decisions and instilling all the important stuff in our kids, and we beat ourselves up for every time we feel we may have failed at getting it right, and we wonder "Are they getting it? Are they getting the good stuff?"
Then God gives us the gift of these little moments where we get to see who they are, and who they are becoming. We get to see the way their hearts and minds are open. We get to see the sweetness of their spirits and the kindness in their souls. We get to see who God is in them. They do get it. They get what God and love is about more than a lot of adults I know, and nothing blesses this mama more than that.
So rest easy tonight sweet Mamas. You aren't getting it wrong. Because you love those babies with everything that you are.
And love always wins.
So when our precious babies fall down, or when their hearts are broken, we will scoop them up and love them the way only a Mama can, and then we will watch God bring goodness to their lives in a way that we can't. ❤

My biggest achievement since starting at Solcana would probably be my attitude towards working out. I've never thought that I could have that much fun while working out, and I think it's because of the acceptance and friendship that I found at Solcana.
My drive to be more active has changed and it really surprised me. I never thought that I could do Olympic lifting, but now that I've worked at it I've improved. I never knew that I could lift such heavy things and it's really fun.
My life has definitely changed since joining Solcana. I am the only female lifter at my school in the strength club, and I have been driven to doing more sports. I have taken on rugby and shot put and discus. I have also started eating healthier, I do the paleo diet. I have been more mobile and I like moving around more.
My biggest challenge at Solcana is finding a time to go. I normally go three times a week, but with recent events I haven't had enough time to go. Hopefully I can increase my hours at Solcana soon when I'm don't with me extra curricular activities.
My goals when I first started out were pretty simple. My first goal was to get better at squatting. My second goal was getting better at c+j and snatch. Now my goals are to get up to 400lbs in my deadlift. Get up to 125 kilos at a competition (as a score). Last is to get more PR's.

After having 11 days off for the Christmas holidays, I'm really not wanting to be back at work. I'm sat at the desk reminiscing about my time off and wishing I could do it all over again. I've had such a hectic time off, I need another week off to recover from this holiday. I've had party after party and even a wedding to go to!
To kick off the Christmas holidays, I had my boyfriends Work Christmas Party on 23rd December. There was Champagne on arrival, endless bottles of white and red wine on the tables and a free bar until the party stopped, so more could you want? I honestly had one of the best nights, I had so much fun dancing the night away to Abba, Whitney Houston, Steps and the list goes on. My head certainly paid for it the next day.
Me and a family friend wore the same dress to the Christmas Party last year (embarrassing, I know) so we had to make sure we weren't wearing the same again this year and we successfully managed to both find different dresses! Hallelujah!
This year, we had the whole family together for the first time in 3 years. My brother and his fiance came back from Plymouth and my other brother came back from Crawley. It was really good to have everyone back together for the first time in a while, it made Christmas that little bit more special.
Every year, we have a family tradition where we all go to our local pub on Christmas Eve for a few drinks in Christmas jumpers and hats. Well, I say a few, but it always ends up being more. This year, I didn't drink much as I was so tired from the night before but the rest of the family certainly enjoyed their many bottles of white wine. When we get back to the house, we all bring our presents downstairs to the living room and sort them out into everyone's stockings.
On the 30th December, it was the day a lot of my friends have been waiting for. It was time to celebrate the wedding of the year – Mr and Mrs Bond. It really was a fantastic day and I was so thankful to be a part of it.
Connie and Matt are two of the nicest people you will ever meet. They deserve every bit of happiness and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for both of them.

Hi, Anon.
Thank you for your post.
Emergency contraceptives are up to 95% effective when taken as prescribed within the first 24 hours, so the risk is very small. Side effects can include stomach aches, headaches, nausea and a general feeling of being unwell. Symptoms usually start 3-7 days after taking the medication and may or may not include bleeding or spotting. Not all women get symptoms. Some get many, or a few, or none. If you don't get your next period within a week of its expected date, a pregnancy test may be necessary although the risk is very low. It can cause an early period or a late one, so be aware of this.

Shopping for back-to-school clothes is a negotiating exercise worthy of a conference room sit-down. But in this case, families reach consensus - hopefully without tears - in area stores. There, surrounded by clothing racks heavy with the goods, moms and dads and the kids stand their ground, weighing the merits of what's up for grabs.
While the adults are doing the math, the kids are focusing on the items and brands they must have, even if they're old enough to work to help pay for the clothes on their backs.

Is your Bed Swing Plans? I am aware first. Toiletries and makeup at the back. The medication cupboard was messy with gels, creams, and abnormal bottles. The attire underneath the sink was stuffed in spills with sheets of toilet paper and everything wasn't proper elsewhere.
Among the greatest Bed Swing Plans I Have identified lately involves, not remodeling, but simply rethinking your bathroom layout. In case you have an area, you are able to enter concealed racks that may store and present everything from your make-up with a pretty knickknacks. And when you want to produce your toiletries unseen, it is possible to usually put concealed cabinets and cupboards.
Start with thinking little than you would like to handle if even that seems like more function. How could you optimize the room you curently have? One of the tips is always to change the space. Everyone includes a cabinet there, but a lot of people merely place points in there before mess isn't structured. Rather, are you currently considering getting some storage bins that are small and labeling them?
The idea of a toilet storage that is pleasant will be to put a new one that has a number of cupboards and compartments. You will end up surprised in the variation - you may discover that this is actually the only Porch Swing Bed (good Bed Swing Plans #3) you need!
For those who have income, time, and house to play then I firmly encourage one put in or to build a toilet from counter. It's likely to be old and never optimize your storage space, even if you possess a bathroom mirror there is.
Should you create everything with homogeneous shape and size you can certainly additionally pile it-up. Put a pack containing things you don't employ backwards, having a field comprising more commonly used goods forward for easy access.

This is the review of the tenth studio album of the Game
Bigger than me
Angry, that is exactly what the Game is on this track as he goes on a tirade about the current hip hop scene while at the same time boasting about the people who he considers his mates and superiors. The line about the XXL freshmen was especially harsh.
The anger in the previous track spilled onto this one with Game calling out those he didn't call on the previous track. Special shout out to G-Unit on this one. Lol. He even uses Eminem's rage flow towards the end of the track to great effect with the chainsaw beat helping to drive his point home.
Really ft Yo Gotti, 2chainz, Soulja Boy, TI
I thought Yo Gotti already murked this and then the Game just showed up and once he started with that slaughterhouse bar, I knew it was all over Jackie. That verse just spelled the end for Negroes. Y'all need to jam this song just for that verse as he starts with 5'9" and somehow ends with Rick Rubio. How? I know not.
Fxck your feelings ft Lil Wayne, Chris Brown
What is this crap? This is definitely not why Jesus Christ was born. In the Game's hall of weak shxt, this has to be the weakest out there.
On one ft King Marie, Ty Dolla $ign
This song has a different tone from the ones before it. He doesn't even sound pissed here. This might even be the romance track of the album. It's just okay.
Married to the Game ft French Montana, DUBB, Sam Hook
This is a sweet jam and sounds more like stuff from the Jesus Piece album and not from this poser of an album. Montana was being shady with his verse but it was still chill as fxck tho.
The purge ft Stacy Barthe
This is the social commentary track. If you follow this dude on IG, you would have noticed that dude has taken a more mature tone and this track is just his way of saying stuff that the pictures he posts won't show.
Trouble on my mind
The ideas, message and mood from the previous track are continued on this one with the primary focus here being the cop killings. Another track that hits the nail on the head.
Cellphone ft DUBB
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand we're back to the WTF tracks. This one has the Game using Kendrick Lamar's trademark helium voice technique. Just hearing that distracted me and prolly painted this song in a negative light for me.
Or wait. Maybe the track is actually just crap. Yeah, it is crap.
Best Head Ever ft Tyga, Eric Bellinger
Not the worst song ever about the best head ever. If this is all the "best head ever" inspired you to write then it prolly wasn't the best head ever. Also, we've got T-Raw aka the sloth from Ice Age aka all tats and no skill aka Blac Chyna's old ass wipe aka the Game's bxtch aka run away from Lil Durk aka Bieber's nutsack cleaner aka Tyga on this so you can only imagine the crap that came out of his mouth in the 25 or so seconds he was allowed to stand in front of the mic before he went back to carrying Chris Brown's luggage for him.
Or Nah ft Too Short, Problem, AV, Eric Bellinger
I loved this song so much when the album first came out cos of Problem's verse alone but now upon further examination, I've come to the conclusion that this song is actually that good. Despite the beat not being the best for the style of these rappers, they make the best of it with better sex rap than was on the previous record.
Take that ft Tyga,Pharaoh
Aaaaaaaaaaaand Tyra is back again. Join me as we ignore that verse.
Seems like the Game was just trying to showcase the singer's skills. Dude's voice is actually good but I feel like I came here for a rap album not this episode of The Hood's next best singer.
Food for my stomach ft DUBB, Skeme
Hit Em Hard ft Bobby Shmurda, Freddie Gibbs, Skeme
This song right here is grimy as fxck with the beat and even the rage in the rappers' voices. I've got to say tho that the chorus sounds like some Jasper Dolphin shxt (listem to "bitch suck dick" for reference). Skeme's verse is the highlight here tho.
Black on Black ft Young Jeezy, Kevin Gates
This track has the Game once again adopting the flow of a featured artist on his own track and he gets murked as a result. Dude tried using the snowman's flow and ended being the worst here with Mr i-eat-ass having the best verse here
Even though the Game's style has matured along with the rapper, this record sees some steps back for him. He keeps trying to do what Biggie Smalls did in Notorious Thugs where he jacked the Bone thugs and Harmony and killed them with it. The Game has been trying this for years and while he is occasionally successful, he wasn't at all here. Instead, he ended up looking like he was chasing trends and trying to please everyone. Ahmean, if this is what he could offer I'm worried about the DOCUMENTARY 2. Seriously worried. His lyricism is still what it was but there are too many filler tracks here and in the end it seems like he only had a few ideas and just decided to throw in mixtape quality stuff in here. The features were on point for the most part but those his tracks introducing his label mates were not needed. If he wanted to do that, he could have released a compilation album or something. Also, the Game needs Dr Dre back in his life stat!
I'm going to have to give this a C-

By CHELSEA HILL
DECATUR, Ga. — Doctors and other cancer specialists speak about how cancer can not only have an effect on the patients, but also the on the physicians themselves. This can have a whole different effect on how people think about cancer. When you think about cancer, have you thought about the impact it can have on the doctors who treat them.
Difference between Chemo and Radiation Therapy
Dr. Tasha Balfour-Williams has worked with cancer patients for more than 20 years. Balfour-Williams works with patients through radiation therapy, which is when a specialist uses a machine, a linear accelerator, that directs high levels of X-rays at specific cancer cells in a patient's body.
Radiation therapy is different from chemotherapy, which is when chemo is directed into the veins of the patient from the head to the toes and can have a more harmful effect on the patient's body. Balfour-Williams has worked with patients from the age range of 22 years old to 90 years old, and her mental stability has changed over the years she has been treating these patients.
What can change
"When I first started off in my field, I was always making sure that I did my best and that I was aggressive with the treatments because you want them to do well," Balfour-Williams said.
Balfour-Williams said, when she was a child, she would always pray for the cure for cancer.
"If I could change something with my job, of course it would to help eradicate cancer all together," Balfour-Williams said.
What Can Help
"Everyone is not in it because they truly want to be here," McNeill said. "Some people are in it just for a job, and I would get rid of those people that are in it just for a job."
McNeill goes on to say sometimes physicians and specialists need to take time out to breathe. McNeill states that the way that she would relax is by doing absolutely nothing on her free time. It allowed her to clear her head and gain some peace.

The most important retailer to open in the Westfield shopping center in the World Trade Center is, no doubt, the Apple store. Not only does its sleek, white aesthetic perfectly complement the sleek, white aesthetic of architect Santiago Calatrava's Oculus, the soaring structure that tops the World Trade Center transportation hub, but the double-level store also provides plenty of chargers for tourists and locals alike to revive their iPhones. After all, taking innumerable selfies — as one feels compelled to do in the magnificent cavernous space — uses up the battery.
Two days after Westfield's star-studded public opening on August 16, which featured performances by John Legend and Leslie Odom Jr. of "Hamilton," I was surprised to find that the Apple store — and many of the other shops in the Oculus — were bustling. Apple customers came in with appointments to fix their faulty MacBooks, while clerks in clothing stores ran around grabbing sizes for customers.
But not every store was open; The Real Deal reported that 40 of the 100 stores in Westfield, including major retailers like H&M and Victoria's Secret, hadn't opened on August 16. But those that had were still celebrating the mall's opening. At the Under Armour store, for instance, a sales clerk excitedly announced on a microphone over thundering music that Emmanuel Mudiay, a point guard for the Denver Nuggets, would be arriving in 10 minutes. What he would do once he arrived wasn't clear; when I asked, the clerk simply shrugged and handed me an Under Armour sticker.
In general, the stores in Westfield offer less expensive goods than in the already opened mall next door, Brookfield Place (which connects to Westfield via an underground passageway),with a few notable exceptions, such as John Varvatos, Dior Cosmetics, the "technical cashmere" purveyor Kit and Ace, Smythson, Turnbull & Asser and Stuart Weitzman.
I bought myself some sour watermelon slices from the specialty candy purveyor Sugarfina, and snacked on them as I powered through my tour of the mall. Once you leave the grand open space of the main hallway, the corridors where many of the stores are located have no windows, and I felt though I was walking through an airport terminal. Despite plenty of signs, I was frequently lost in the twists and turns of the transit hub, which fans out in multiple directions and never seems to end. I wandered around for two hours, but I'm sure there are more secret corridors I missed; it's a shopping lover's paradise and a bored husband's nightmare.
The retail selection is, in a word, fine; chain stores abound, and there's something for everyone, except perhaps, stores that can't be found everywhere else.
Westfield's slogan is "The new New York place to be," implying, I guess, that it is intended to be a destination. Though that is a great exaggeration for the stores, it certainly is not for the Oculus itself, which bears some similarities to another NYC institution: Grand Central Terminal.
Calatrava has admitted that the train station inspired his design, and that's certainly true not only of the way it looks, but also of the way people move through it. As they do at the iconic station, commuters rush from one end of the Oculus to the other, fast and focused on their destination. Occasionally, someone spares a brief, appreciative glance up to admire the beauty of where they are. A new New York place, indeed.

It seems like every night I sit and think about the structure of my life. Just like many people's lives I have to think about my life, my money, and my stuff and it's all so bleak. I hope for a better time with happiness, flowers, bunnies, and a bright sunny day with a cool breeze but I look outside and see the reality.
Right now I want to work on some certifications so I can get more jobs for my contract and that will then bring me more money. The more money I get will help me take care of some bills but not all of them because I'll squeeze in some purchases for things I really want to have. I think too big on some of my wants and lose sight of the needs so alot of these ventures into planning my future involve dreaming and then finding the key elements that need to be satisfied.
The major goals right now are 1) Generate more income, 2) Submitting Solutions & Ideas to Others, and 3) Spend more time working on either the House or my Truck. The minor goals include A) Paying off my bills, B) Working off 150 pounds of excess weight, and C) Trying to figure out stuff to write on this site.
Of course I get overwhelmed somewhat with item (A) because item (1) is difficult to adjust when it plays heavily on my ability to think clearly. Pretty soon I'm going to need to get my own health insurance and then I'll really have no money but the alternative is just as scary as the one pill I need to keep the tumor from growing back is about $40 each dose and I'm taking five a week. My remaining supply of refills from my previous employee benefits is going to last me about a month and then it's crunch time.
I'm patient enough though to keep trodding on and not worrying about things like "credit scores" get me down. I do what I can and I've let those that I owe know where I stand and so far I'm handling it. Maybe one of my ideas will pan out or I'll get some relief from another source but all in all I'm going to stay happy. Well, it's going to be a rough happy but happy anyway especially when I'm trying to lose that weight.

William Kristol Quotes
The trouble with politics and political coverage today is that there's too much liberal bias.... There's too much tilt toward the left-wing agenda. Too much apology for liberal policy failures. Too much pandering to liberal candidates and causes.Send Quote
He should release the tax returns tomorrow. It's crazy. You've got to release six, eight, ten years back tax returns. Take the hit for a day or two. He has to give a big speech in defense of capitalism, and that will elevate, I think, this race above this tactical back and forth, which I do think he's on the margin of losing.Send Quote

The average GOP presidential vote in these last five elections was 44.5 percent. In the last three, it was 48.1 percent. Give Romney an extra point for voter disillusionment with Obama, and a half-point for being better financed than his predecessors. It still strikes me as a path to narrow defeat.Send Quote

Industry group rejects two-tier tax system idea
Chamber of Commerce and Industry Queensland (CCIQ) says it does not support a two-tier payroll tax system.
The idea is one of 18 recommendations in a report on population growth commissioned by the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ).
One of the report's authors says having lower payroll taxes in regional areas would encourage growth outside the south-east.
CCIQ spokesman Stephen Dittmann says it would mean businesses in the south-east would be burdened with extra costs.
"There needs to be an incentive not a disincentive," he said.
"To put a payroll tax on a business in the south-east, or Sunshine Coast for that matter, to support a business that could be 100 kilometres up the coast, is creating disincentives for business - it should be across the board."
Mr Dittmann says it is vital funding is provided up-front for infrastructure and services in key regional areas.
"Often you find businesses have gone into regions and have suffered or they've had to sort of provide a lot more funds than they normally would to add to the infrastructure," he said.
"I think it's important that the government at all levels looks at the areas they want to develop and they provide the infrastructure there."
'Too complicated'
The Townsville Chamber of Commerce (TCC) says it would be too complicated to enforce a two-tiered tax system across the state to encourage regional growth.
TCC spokesman John Carey says more government departments should be moved to regional areas to encourage growth.
"I don't see why, as desirable as it is, to have people come up here there should be a disincentive to relocate to south-east Queensland - I think there are better ways at doing it," he said.
"The main reason that people travel is because of their jobs, so I think if there were meaningful jobs of the same calibre, with the same quality of work as they can get in Brisbane, as they can get in Townsville, then that might encourage people to come up here as well."
Infrastructure concerns
A group representing business owners in the Wide Bay-Burnett has cautiously welcomed the LGAQ report.
CCIQ Wide Bay chairman Ron Bishop says the report is a start.
"I do support it but with caution - I'm just a little bit concerned with the infrastructure," he said.
"As long as we keep the infrastructure in par with population growth, I'm all for it.
"I just worry we'll flood tonnes of areas, especially the Wide Bay region with tonnes of people and then we don't have the infrastructure to support it."
Mr Bishop says the report's recommendation for tax incentives for people to establish business in the regions would have to be a large incentive.
"There needs to be more and there needs to be a longer time plan to go with it," he said.
"It's got to be quite large cause they are moving their infrastructure here and they're moving people here and that costs money.
"But if you do it long term enough, businesses tend to think more long term on money."
Decentralisation 'good'
Meanwhile, Sunshine Coast Mayor Bob Abbot is hoping the Queensland Government adopts some of the recommendations of the LGAQ report.
Councillor Abbot says some of the report's recommendations reflect long-held council and community views.
"I think the concept of decentralisation is a good one and we need to establish that," he said.
"The concept of spreading the load across the south-east and recognising the differences between the local councils in the south-east is good, so I think that needs to be expanded upon."
Councillor Abbot has backed the call for the State Government to provide up-front infrastructure funding.
"We want to see the financial path for infrastructure growth, not only in south-east Queensland, but specifically in our region," he said.
"That's all we've ever asked for really because at the moment it's a bit of a lottery whether you get things or not and we need a far clearer and far more consistent approach than that.
"Hopefully if these recommendations are considered, we can get there."

Happy New Year everyone!
Jan Czerski is a name you probably don't hear every day. His face has never graced the cover of a box of Wheaties, and he's never been in one of those silly Top-20 countdown shows on ESPN. And the facts that surround his life – that he was born on January 3, 1845 in Lithuania and that he was a self-taught geologist and geographer – are really only incidental to Today's History Lesson. Czerski, just like Ludwig Friedrich Wilhelm II before him, is merely a pawn in my game to get you to the subject I want to discuss.
Lake Baikal.
I'm something of a stat geek, and Lake Baikal is a stat geek's dream lake. Located in the Irkutsk region of Siberia – if you don't know where Irkutsk is, get out your Risk game…Irkutsk is on the map – it's the largest freshwater lake in the world, if water volume is your meaure. Because it sits in a rift zone (an area where two crustal plates are spreading apart about 1″ per year), the lake itself is a long, thin crescent-shaped lake that's nearly 400 miles long and nearly 80 miles wide at its widest spot.
Lake Baikal is also the deepest freshwater lake in the world, reaching depths of more than a mile. Adding its size and depth together means there's a hole in Siberia that holds a lot of water. How much water? Well, for starters, it contains more water than all the U.S. Great Lakes combined. If all the fresh water in the world (from lakes, rivers, and streams) could somehow be put into a giant measuring cup, one-fifth of the water would come from this one massive natural water reservoir.
More than 300 streams and rivers empty into Lake Baikal. But if we were to completely drain the lake, it would take all the rivers of the world – every one of them, including the Nile, Amazon, Yangtze, and Mississippi – a year to refill the hole. That's a big lake.
The brutal Siberian winters can freeze the lake's surface to a depth of 9′. Fans of the Trans-Siberian Railroad (which we should maybe discuss at some point) know that this ice is what ultimately scuttled plans to utilize a train-carrying ferry that ran across the southern end of the Lake. Instead, workers built a 162-mile "detour", completed at enormous expense, around Baikal.
The Lake supports a vast ecosystem, with hundreds of unique animals, including the world's only freshwater seal. And despite the industry near the lake's southern coasts that cause some local pollution as well as future environmental concerns, Baikal is one of the most pristine bodies of water in the world.
So, what's Jan Czerski's connection to this massive water tank? In the late 1870s, Czerski led a series of expeditions in eastern Russia. It was during these years that Jan authored the first geological map of Lake Baikal's coast, earning him great praise and a gold medal from the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Happy Birthday, Jan Czerski (even though you're not our main topic of discussion)!!

One day after the nation's largest provider of cyberspace services, America Online Inc., agreed to pay millions of dollars to compensate subscribers for two months of network congestion, many customers refused to be mollified yesterday, saying that the refunds could hardly make up for their lost business and time.
Some customers said that America Online added insult to injury by inadequately staffing the telephone lines it set up to handle refund requests, leading to confusing journeys through touch-tone telephone systems and long waits on hold. And others said that America Online's policy of giving the largest refunds, about $40, to the smallest users was unfair to those who had suffered the most.
''I think it's a great public relations move,'' said Conan S. Cocallas of Fairfield, Calif., who blames a recent inability to get through to the service for costing his small computer-parts supply company a $3,000 order. ''But there is really no way to compensate for time lost. For people whose businesses rely on it, there's no way to say, 'We're going to give you back all that time you wasted listening to busy signals in front of your computer.' I just want it fixed.''
But Stephen M. Case, the chairman of America Online, said: ''The feedback I got today from members was favorable. People wanted to know what steps we were going to take to satisfy our customers and we told them.''
Even some of the most critical customers said they would stick with the service until the network logjam had been cleared. The company has promised to spend $350 million to increase capacity and has said the problems will be resolved by June. America Online, which is based in Dulles, Va., and surpassed eight million subscribers last week, reached the pact with the attorneys general of 36 states on Wednesday after the prosecutors threatened to sue the company for deceptive business practices. Moving away from charging users for each hour spent on line, the company began offering -- and aggressively promoting -- a new price plan early last month that promised unlimited access to the service for $19.95 a month.Continue reading the main story
But the company seemed to underestimate both existing users' appetite for on-line time and the number of new customers the offer would attract -- 1.4 million since last October. By the middle of last month, many America Online subscribers faced interminable busy signals whenever they tried to dial into the service with their computer modems.
America Online still offers hourly rates, but the company said a vast majority of its customers now subscribed to the unlimited-use plan.
Under the agreement the attorneys general will not file lawsuits against America Online. In exchange, the company will give subscribers who request it compensation ranging from a full, $19.95 refund for customers who used the service for less than two hours during either December or January to a 25 percent, $5 rebate for users who spent between 8 and 15 hours in either month on line. The company has said that the settlement will cost less than $50 million.
Customers who spent more than 15 hours on America Online in either December or January are not eligible for a refund for that month, though all customers can choose to receive a free month of service if they write to an address in Utah.
That satisfied the attorneys general but was an affront to some America Online subscribers.
''Nonsense. Total nonsense,'' said Peter J. Magliarditi, describing the deal. Mr. Magliarditi, an independent researcher in Lewiston, N.Y., is seeking class-action status in Federal District Court in Buffalo along with 100 other America Online customers for a lawsuit against the company for breach of warranty. ''They are punishing the people who tried the hardest to get on line by giving them no refund,'' he said.
But Mr. Case defended the refund plan as fair. ''The sense was that for someone who used 100 hours in a month, a refund was less appropriate than for someone who used 10 minutes in a month,'' he said. ''The principle that has been guiding our thinking all along was that we've spent a decade building this brand and we want to do everything necessary to protect it and enhance it.''
That thinking appeared to please investors -- shares of America Online closed up 62.5 cents, at $37.875, on the New York Stock Exchange, after a big increase on Wednesday -- but did not go over well with Roberta Rosenfield, a retired schoolteacher in Nanuet, N.Y., who has subscribed to America Online for two years.
''I called the number they gave and held on for 40 minutes,'' she said. ''It's a mess. During those 40 minutes they repeated a list of 15 other numbers to call for this or that. I tried one or two but didn't get anywhere.
''We just want to get our money back.''Continue reading the main story

This morning, I came across a post by GameSpot's official twitter account dropping a new hashtag to trend for the day:
#gamesvdepression. This was attached to a video titled Video Games vs. Depression, presented by Danny O'Dwyer, which I would urge everyone to take twenty minutes out of their day to watch.
Danny's launching point for the idea to discuss this issue came from playing the recently released indie game Depression Quest, a pay-what-you-want interactive story game which puts you in the position of one of the many, many people who take on the troubles of depression day to day. It's a powerful experience that I would urge everyone, even those who don't have depression themselves, to experience at least once. I've been happy to see the game receive a lot of positive attention among the community, and I was glad to see it used as a branching point for the video's content.
The best thing about the video is that, instead of discussing the issue from an outside perspective, it turns to those within the gamer community who deal with depression and lets them do the talking. It's a great collection of personal stories about gamers who have turned to video games to help them with the different mental health issues. The stories are inspired and to see so many people within the community come forward and share their stories is encouraging. So, I figured I would come forward myself and discuss this issue on a personal level for me.
Now, I've never been one to shy away from discussing my own depression. I've dealt with it the majority of my life, and the situation has led to close-calls with suicide and severe anxiety problems that have gone so far as to make me have to leave a job in order to avoid complete breakdown. But just as depression has been a part of my life, gaming has been a part of my life perhaps even longer. Having started at a young age (somewhere around 2 or 3 years old with the original NES), gaming has always been my go-to activity.
Gaming provided me with many things as a child. A sense of adventure, of accomplishment, and as I grew older, it began to provide me a place I could always escape to. And even today, as my life continues to be turmoil-filled around me, gaming is an important thing that I hold on to for comfort. A security blanket, if you will. No matter the situation, or how bad things get, I always find some form of comfort when I pick up a controller and play something for awhile.
Now, the story part of things. I grew up without a father. He left before I was able to really create memories. So growing up, it was always me and my mom, struggling against the odds. I'd be lying if I tried to deny that deep down this left some psychological fear of abandonment and my well-rooted fear of being alone. As I grew up, I hit the troubled pre-teen years, even trying therapy and medication for awhile. And as I grew older, the depression seemed to only have worsened.
In school, I was never one to be bullied, despite the fact that someone awkward, small, and with a weird voice is easy set-up for insults, but I was never the most active person. I didn't partake in many school activities, I didn't attend parties, and I only saw my friends outside of school a handful of times. A lot of those times involving video games, now that I think about it.
Instead, I spent a lot of time alone. And once I left school, my contact with friends lessened greatly, and I found myself with a lot more alone time. Gaming has consistently been the thing I've turned to to fill that alone time. And it's helped keep me from succumbing to depression many times in my life.
I have low self-esteem, and the few people who know me really well know that I give in to despair and self-hatred violently at times, sometimes out of nowhere. It's ruined relationships and has left me with a bad tendency to push away anyone who gets close to me. Many friends have talked me down from suicidal breakdowns over many years, and it's something that to this day I can't always get a handle on.
The ability to let go of real-life situations for awhile and deal with problems that aren't real is strangely calming to me. I deal with the constant fear of being a failure and not being able to accomplish goals, something that has ruined me creatively and giving me nothing but self-doubt about being able to achieve things. A lot of "I know I can't do it" kind of statements made over the years, that sort of thing. But in video games, what is the worst thing that happens if you fail? You start over. Failing in video games is never the end. And accomplishment is much easier to achieve because of it. That sense of satisfaction from beating a tough boss or level allows me something I don't always get when dealing with real life situations.
The other thing it provides is a sense of escape. It's like an interactive dream. Something that pulls you out of the real world and plops you down into different places, different lives. I've always had a sadness that I carry with me over the state of our world. Seeing tragedies and people struggle weighs heavily on me. And it becomes overwhelming at times. Which is why it becomes so comforting to escape to another world. Cute worlds, beautiful worlds, even other worlds in conflicts that I can abolish, allow me to deal with some of the ugliness in the real world.
Over the last few years though, something even better has come out of my relationship with gaming. I was able to blend my love for writing with my passion for games, and a few years back I decided I wanted to start writing about video games. Eventually, I found myself in the MyIGN community on IGN. Through that, I've met a ton of people I count as real friends. And have been able to express myself and expand myself in ways I never thought possible. It's how this podcast and entire site started, actually.
Through talking with other gamers, attending and hosting video game live streams, talking on podcasts and videos, playing with people online, reading other people's experiences and stories, and generally just being more involved with a lot of the gamer community, I have come to feel far more sense of belonging than I ever have before. That sense of loneliness isn't nearly as crippling as it used to be, and my fear of being alone can always be knocked back down by being able to engage in conversation with the many people the video game community has allowed me to meet.
Perhaps the single most profound and important moment to me thanks to video games came from last year's Extra Life charity marathon I took a part in on my stream channel. I got to team up with Anthony (who I met through MyIGN and now is my co-host for Low On Life and a dear friend of mine who has always supported me) and, with the help of the generosity and togetherness of so many people I've met through gaming, we were able to raise over a thousand dollars for the charity. The entire thing has moved me to tears on a number of occasions, and it's provided a sense of accomplishment and meaning in my life that nothing else has ever done. And this was entirely thanks to sitting around playing video games for 24 hours while people joked around with me. It's something I'll carry with me my entire life, something I will always be inspired by for now on. And it's because of video games being a big part of my life that I now have that.
| Here Is A More In-Depth Blog I Wrote About Extra Life And It's Impact On My Life |
Knowing that a hobby has allowed me to meet so many people I wouldn't have met otherwise, provide a base for me to do things I have always wanted to do, and even express myself creatively more, is staggering, and I'm thankful for it every day. The laughs I've had with my fellow gamers and the things I've been able to achieve thanks to gaming and it's community will forever be an important part of my life now. It will always help me keep fighting through whatever life throws at me. I hope in the coming years, as I continue to take on whatever life brings, that I'll have games and the community surrounding them to turn to in times of need.
For anyone reading this, I am grateful for the time. For the support some of you have provided me. For the sense of friendship, accomplishment, belonging, and togetherness you've given me by connecting over such a silly thing as games. I believe this is an important message to pass along, and I would love to hear some stories from you about how video games have helped in your life.
Now, let's all feel a bit better by looking at this beautiful Okami picture…

We are training the Watson Discovery machine learning model in multiple iterations. As part of the iteration we are considering top 10, 20, 30 and so on responses to train the model for better answer.
Here we are facing error while uploading the training data twice for the same question.
Could any one help on how to train machine learning model twice without deleting the existing training data.
Answer by MichaelKeeling (451) | Oct 09, 2017 at 02:08 PM
Here we are facing error while uploading the training data twice for the same question.
The same example cannot be added to the same query twice, hence the error you are seeing. If your intent is to change the label, try
PUTing the example to the
document_id with the changed label value.
Could any one help on how to train machine learning model twice without deleting the existing training data.
Within the same collection, you only have access to one trained model at a time. The implication is that every time you upload or change data, a new model might be trained. This means, effectively, whether you clear the data or not, simply by changing the training data you get a new model. In practice, you've probably trained several models throughout the course of adding, updating, and deleting data!
The simplest way to compare the accuracy between the models of two training data sets is to create a second collection containing the same data. In practice, this is something you'd probably one to do anyway as you can then test your relevance changes before rolling them out to your users. This is important as relevance is influenced by many, many factors including not only training data but also field types, content, annotations, and other query modifications.
If you can't create two collections containing the same data (there are many practical reasons why this may not make sense), you'll need to clear the training data from scenario 1, and then upload the training data for scenario 2. Check the collection status to verify that training has completed, and then run accuracy tests. If you know how the two ground truth data sets are different, then you could only apply the diffs -- in either case, a new model will eventually be trained (it can take a few minutes) once the data changed. For the error in question, if you're just trying to add the same document with the same relevance label twice (because it appears in both test scenarios), then it's safe to ignore the error in the response.
