Presidency Commends Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN's Message to President Buhari.
The Presidency has described as touching and thoughtful, a message received over the weekend from the Christian Association of Nigeria expressing joy at the news of President Muhammadu Buhari's recovery from illness.
In a statement to the press in Abuja, Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Buhari, confirmed that the President received the goodwill message from Rev Dr Samson Supo Ayokunle, the CAN President.
"The CAN President referred to the news of President Buhari's recovery from sickness as a 'rejuvenation of hope', and congratulated Nigerians on the joy of having their President back soon," Malam Shehu said.
The SSA to the President added that such messages of goodwill from respected religious bodies like CAN meant so much at a time when people with ill intentions were struggling to divide the country along religious lines. He also thanked the CAN for its continued prayers for the President's health.
"The Presidency looks forward to further collaborations with CAN to ensure that Nigerians of all ethnic and religious groups benefit from the policies of the President Buhari administration which are aimed at improving the welfare of every single citizen of our great country," Malam Shehu said.

Tor was constantly fighting against the powerful giants called Jotun. The other Gods had been too confident and left all the warfare to Tor. Odin with his wisdom understood that Jotun would be too difficult for them to handle in the future. To change this Odin and his wife, Frigg, created a tournament where the gods could hone their battle skills. Odin held the tournament in his home Asgard, and named the tournament "Battle of Asgard". Battle of Asgard quickly became popular, and it was considered a great honor among the gods to win the tournament.
Goal of the game:
Both players fight for control over three holy lands in the middle of the game table. At the start of a player's turn, he or she gains victory points for each holy lands with one or more characters in. The first player to get 10 victory points win the game. You can also win the game by having a character in you opponent homeland at the start of your turn.
The different type of cards in Battle of Asgard:
Æsir and Åsynjene: This is the Gods which represents you.
Seid: A seid is a magical ritual that Gods cast to gain advantages on the battlefield. Once used, it is sent directly to the discard pile.
Runegalder: Runegalder are magical runestones that are placed in one of the lands. Some of the runegalder can only be placed in specific lands, this is specified on the card. Runegalder will stay in the land until removed by other effects.
Character: Charater is a collective term for all characters in the game. There are four types of characters; viking, valkyrien, beast and jotne.
Vikings: Vikings have a variety of different abilities. Weak in power but relatively cheap to deploy.
Valkyrie: Valkyries are female figures who are stronger and more powerful than vikings.
Beasts: Beasts varies in powers and cost.
Holy land: Different places around the world players gain victory points for controlling. Each holy land has unique abilities. You can have as many characters in a holy land as you like, unless specified otherwise.
Setting up: Quick start
1. Decide who is going to start the game.
2. Each player draw two random Gods and select one to play with this turn.
3. Place three random holy lands face up and lands to move as showen in the picture below.
4. Shuffle the playing cards and place them on the right side of the table.
5. Each player then draws five cards from the deck.
The different phases of a turn:
1. Start phase: Gain 6 blue runestones.
Gain victory points equal to the number of holy lands you one or more characters in.
2. Action phase: You can pay 3 runestones to draw a card, activate seid, runegalder and/or deploy vikings, valkyries and beasts. You can do these actions in any sequence. During this phase you can move characters from one land to another. Characters must move in the directions shown on the next page. When a character you control is in a land where the opponent has one or more characters, you may conduct battle. Se more under combat and power. – When you do an action or activate an ability or effect, it will have to be resolved before you can do any other action.
3. End phase: All characters are now healed and you are finished with your turn.
Resource – Blue Runestones: is used to play cards you have in your hand and to activate your God's ability. At the left side of each card, there is a number; this is the cost to activate seid or runegalder, or to deploy characters from your hand to the field.
The gamefield:
The three rectangles in the middle of the game table are holy lands. At the start of your turn you gain a victory point for each holy land you have a character in. Below and above the holy lands close to each God are the homeland where the players deploy characters and equipment. Characters can only move in the direction that the lines show in the picture. Characters can only move once per turn, unless specified otherwise. The deck and discard pile are to the right side of the field. Both players draw from the same deck. All cards that are used are sent to the discard pile. When the deck is empty, shuffle all cards in the discard pile and place them as the deck.
Combat and power: You can only move one character at a time. When you decide to attack a character in the same land as your character, the player that controls the attacker decides which of the defending characters in that land to battle first. If the attacker destroys a defender and has more power left, the attacking player must decide which defender to battle next. Proceed until the attacker or all defenders are destroyed. The number inside the axe of the character card is the power it has. When in battle, the power of a character is reduced by the power of the character it is in combat with. If the power of a blocking character is reduced, it will deal the reduced amount of damage during the next combat that turn. When a character has zero power, it is destroyed and sent to the discard pile. At the end of the turn all characters are healed back to their original power. – Damage dealt in combat between two characters happens at the same time. – The attacking character is inside the land it moved to during combat, giving it bonuses or weaknesses from Holy land and runegalder affecting that land.
Adjacent: Adjacent lands to a land are lands closest in all directions. Adjacent land to a card in a homeland, are all three holy lands and the God. Adjacent lands to a card are in the middle homeland, are the two remaining holy land and both deploy land.
Combat: When a player has a character in a land that an opponent has one or more characters in he or she can choose to conduct combat. Se more under combat and power.
Deck: The deck or stack where the unplayed cards are.
Deploy: When a character is put from your hand to the homeland.
Draw: To draw a card from the deck.
Effect: Text listed on the card that affects the game in some way.
Haste: Character can move two times the turn it is deployed. If characters with haste move twice the turn deployed it cannot conduct battle.
Move: To move one character from a land to another. Characters can only move once per turn. You can only move one character at a time.
Orginal power: Number showen in the axe of a character.
Place: To put a character, seid or runegalder to a land. Cards that are placed is not affected by limitations to "move".
Cards with abilities using the word "place" are not restricted by effects limiting the ability to move.
Power: The number inside the axe of characters is the strength and life. A character dies when its power reaches 0.

Jailbreak iOS 9.3.2 – Expects to Released Before Apple's WWDC 2016
In the recently day, most awaited iOS 9.3.2 has released by apple ending its beta testing period. It has released with fixes a number of bugs and vulnerabilities rendering all existing jailbreaks unusable. Apple has released the fourth beta for this impending iOS 9.3.2 and now it is available officially as OTA and iTunes software update for all iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Nowadays, jailbreak fans are already wondering when a jailbreak tool release for the new OS update. There are so many jailbreak communities witnessed that they are working for removing manufacturer limitation by jailbreak iOS 9.3.2.
Please note that, currently, there is no public jailbreak for iOS 9.3.2, iOS 9.3.1, iOS 9.2.1 and iOS 9.2. So we highly recommend to avoid all fake details and softwares until comes its real jailbreak tool. You can go to head of Settings > General > Software Update to get the latest software update on your iOS device, but if you are still using jailbroken device, do not upgrade the latest version, because jailbreak will be removed from your device with all cydia changes.
If you need to download iOS 9.3.2 on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch follow our guide below :
Pangu and TaiG for jailbreak iOS 9.3.2
The famous Chinese jailbreak developer team Pangu has recently released an updated version of their jailbreak tool for iOS 9.1 to install cydia by removing its annoying restriction. But their tool is compatible only for iOS 9.1, because the kernel exploit that used for update their tool has been further patched up by apple in subsequent versions of iOS 9.2, iOS 9.3, iOS 9.2.1, iOS 9.3.1 and iOS 9.3.2 also. Meanwhile, apple has stopped downgrade possibility from newer firmware versions to iOS 9.1 by discouraging jailbreakers. It simply means that pangu 9 latest jailbreak tool cannot be used for jailbreak iOS 9.3.2 – iOS 9.2.
Important – If you are staying on iOS 9.1, then you are lucky person. Here is the tutorial to jailbreak your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch :
However, most popular jailbreakers Pangu and TaiG may be keeping mum about the new jailbreak of iOS 9.3.2's launch date. TaiG is also one of the most famous jailbreker who had released a jailbreak tool for iOS 8.4. Unfortunately, they could fail on iOS 9 jailbreak, because apple has patched previous errors in iOS 9 using taig 8.4 jailbreak. However, still, we have not any official information to say you about the next iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak tool from Pangu and TaiG.
Jailbreak iOS 9.3.2 is pretty difficult, Why?
Some industry experts believe that the jailbreak hacking teams will not release a jailbreak solution for iOS 9.3.2. Actually, as we seen that iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak is pretty difficult. Not only iOS 9.3.2. iOS 9.2 – iOS 9.3.1 also available on the non-jailbroken stage, because apple has already patched all kernel bugs and vulnerabilities to kill the jailbreak from their new OS updates. Also, the company has been continuing to enhance the security system of iOS. Because of those reasons, the next jailbreak tool also will take some time to release.
iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak expect to launch before apple WWDC event in June
On the positive side, sometimes pangu or taig team could unleash the next jailbreak iOS 9.3.2 for the public. Meanwhile, apple is going to release iOS 10 with further security patches at the annual WWDC 2016. The good news is, speculations are rife that the jailbreak iOS 9.3.2 tool will be released prior to apple's annual five-day long worldwide Developer's Conference, which is slated to begin on June 13. We hope to update our article instantly with its new information. So hopefully.

Oversight and Technology Adoption
The California Investor-owned Utilities (IOUs), under authorization from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), administer energy efficiency and demand response programs, including the Emerging Technologies Program (ETP) and the Emerging Markets and Technology Program that support advancement of new and underutilized emerging technologies (ET) into the market.
The Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) and Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) administer programs with similar objectives under the authority of their respective boards of directors.
The California Energy Commission (CEC) administers utility ratepayer-funded advanced energy technology research programs including PIER and EPIC.
The IOUs, SMUD, LADWP and the CEC participate in the Emerging Technologies Coordinating Council (ETCC) to ensure benefits to utility ratepayers and other stakeholders*. Collectively, the ETCC supports the technology advancement continuum from research and development to assessment of technology performance and acceptance in the marketplace with the eventual goal of adopting new products as part of the codified baseline.
The ETP process includes screening potential technologies, assessing them to validate performance and customer acceptance, and performing in-situ demonstrations. The technologies that offer large energy savings and rapid market penetration are then recommended for utility programs such as training and outreach, rebates, and other customer facing initiatives. (For information on the guidelines for submitting a technology for ETP review, click here).
Over time technologies proven in utility programs become standard practice and are adopted into government codes and industry standards. To facilitate code and standard development, ETP representatives participate in regional and national collaboratives.
Utility ETP also seek out and evaluate emerging "code-ready" technologies that present such rapid adoption potential that they can become baseline in a timeframe much shorter than most other technologies.
*ETCC stakeholders include, but are not limited to, project partners, the CPUC, advanced energy technology manufacturers, vendors, trade allies, consultants, NGOs, national labs, educational institutions and other advanced energy research entities and non-member utilities and regulators.

Agilent 54711A Attenuator plug-in for HP 54720D
The Agilent 54711A oscilloscope is a graph-displaying device – it draws a graph of an electrical signal. In most applications, the graph shows how signals change over time: the vertical (Y) axis represents voltage and the horizontal (X) axis represents time. The intensity or brightness of the display is sometimes called the Z axis.
The Agilent 54711A oscilloscope's simple graph can tell you many things about a signal, such as: the time and voltage values of a signal, the frequency of an oscillating signal, the "moving parts" of a circuit represented by the signal, the frequency with which a particular portion of the signal is occurring relative to, other portions, whether or not a malfunctioning component is distorting the signal, how much of a signal is direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) and how much of the signal is noise and whether the noise is changing with time.

My husband and I have done two things we said we'd never do (and neither was reminiscent of 50 Shades of Grey). We bought a house and it's in the suburbs.
Isn't this the American Dream? Perhaps for many people it is, but it's never been our dream.
After a condo-owning fiasco, we had sworn we'd never own property again. We'd happily fork over cash to a landlord if it meant trading in home maintenance and a hefty mortgage for more fun things, like dining out and European vacations.
Plus, our anti-car sentiment has grown over the years, reinforcing our desire to live in walkable areas. We swore we'd never flee our urban dwellings just because we had a child.
And for nearly 7 years, we stuck to our guns. Then our daughter reached school-age. And like so many other urbanites who flee to the suburbs with their children, we realized that's where the best schools are.
It's more than the schools, though. I realized after viewing house after house this summer that where my daughter lives and the type of dwelling she grows up in are critical to my dream of the childhood my daughter will have.
My daughter is an only child and with that comes many privileges. She's seen the ballet and Cirque du Soleil, attended children's theatre productions and been to Europe twice. She is showered with time and affection from parents who don't have to parse out their attention to multiple children. It's not a bad life by any means.
What it lacks, however, is daily exposure to other children. I had two brothers to boss around during my imaginary games. She has me, her dad and a geriatric cat—and we don't always play nice.
In addition to having no siblings, she has lived in the heart of the city her entire life and sadly, children can be scarce in cities. She also has two parents who aren't enamored with other people's kids and thus find it painful to even say the word "playdate" much less seek one out. The result is a child who charms adults but doesn't always "get" other kids.
Our decision to move brought to light some parenting differences that we've needed to address. My husband wants to give our daughter what he terms the "Cosmopolitan Upbringing," one that is multilingual, includes lot of international travel, exposure to sports and diverse cultural activities, and the chance to see and experience the things that other kids read about in social studies books. It's a lifestyle that neither of us had as children, but one we've aspired to as adults.
I most definitely want to give my daughter this life as well, but I also have a burning desire to give her what my husband terms the "American Dream Upbringing." Oh, how I prickled at that label the first time he said it. I've always been the first to mock the white-picket fence, the golden retriever and the minivan. And yet, while I still want nothing to do with those specific items, I've come to accept that certain parts of the "American Dream" are most definitely my dream for my child.
I want to give my daughter the cultural and travel experiences I didn't get as a child, but I also want her have a childhood in which her bike becomes her horse as they travel the neighborhood and the tree in the front yard becomes a little house where food is served on maple leaves. I want her to catch fireflies in jars, to swirl sparklers in the backyard on the 4th of July and to eat frozen Charleston Chews at the local beach (do they even make those anymore?). I want to yell, "It's a beautiful day outside. Go find your friends and don't come back in until the sun sets."
As my husband and I moved through the house-buying process, we face some major questions as to how we want to spend the next 12 years. We had to figure out how we could blend both of our upbringing dreams.
Instead of a big house with a coinciding mortgage, we're cramming ourselves into a cute house with low square footage and low maintenance, which should leave room in the budget for international travel. We're slowly making peace with living in a suburb, but only because we chose one in which everything is walkable, and the city's downtown area is just four miles away and accessible by bike path.
We've made these compromises in hopes that our daughter gets a childhood of amazing memories—one that include fireflies, walking to school, friends who live across the street and frequent trips to Europe.
My husband and I are still working out how to give our daughter what we see as a perfect mix of experiences. What we want for our child may be completely different than what you want for yours, but the end goal is the same.
We all want our offspring to look back and say, "Wow, I really had an amazingly happy childhood." That, to me, is the American Dream—and apparently it's worth the endless hours of yard work and weekend trips to Home Depot.

ATLANTA - Lucas Duda's three-run homer in the seventh gave New York the lead, Jonathon Niese pitched seven strong innings for his third straight win and the Mets beat Tim Hudson and the Braves 3-1 on Friday night.
The Braves, who have wrapped up at least a wild-card berth, began the night four games behind the Nationals in the NL East. Atlanta has only five games remaining in the regular season.
Chipper Jones, starting his final regular-season home series before retirement, was 0-for-4 with four groundouts. Jones was honored by the Braves in a pregame ceremony that included former Atlanta manager Bobby Cox and Hall of Famer Hank Aaron. The tribute helped draw a sellout crowd of 51,910.
Niese (13-9) allowed one run on four hits in seven innings for his third straight win.
Freddie Freeman gave Atlanta a 1-0 lead with his 23rd homer off Niese in the fourth.
Bobby Parnell pitched a perfect ninth for his sixth save.
Hudson (16-7) gave up only three hits in six scoreless innings before Daniel Murphy led off the seventh with a double to left field. Murphy advanced to third when Jason Heyward made a diving catch on David Wright's sinking liner in right field.
Following an intentional walk to Ike Davis, Hudson struck out Scott Hairston before giving up Duda's 15th homer on a 3-2 pitch.
Hudson allowed three runs on five hits and one walk in seven innings.
The Mets loaded the bases with one out in the eighth against Cristhian Martinez. Cory Gearrin ended the inning on Wright's grounder to Jones, who stepped on third base before throwing to first for the double play.
In the pregame ceremony, Aaron gave Jones a third base with the words "Chipper Jones 1993-2012." The special bases with the tribute to Jones were used in the game. The on-deck circles also carried the logo, and Jones' No. 10 was painted in the grass in center field.
Braves players gave Jones a pool table. The team gave Jones and his family a trip to Hawaii and a plaque made from Turner Field bricks and shaped like home plate. Team president John Schuerholz announced Jones' clubhouse locker will be moved to Jones' home.
Baseball commissioner Bud Selig said in a video message that Jones is a future Hall of Famer.
"It's obvious where you're headed," Selig said. "The next time we all see you will be in Cooperstown, N.Y."
Jones won the 1999 NL MVP and 2008 batting title. His 468 home runs are the third-highest total for a switch-hitter, behind Mickey Mantle (536) and Eddie Murray (504). His 1,623 RBIs are the most for a third baseman, passing George Brett and Mike Schmidt this season.
Catcher Brian McCann, representing Braves players, thanked Jones "for being our leader, our mentor."
Jones and the Braves have clinched at least a wild-card berth after falling out of the playoffs on the last day of the 2011 season, capping a September collapse.
Jones smiled as he looked at his teammates watching from the dugout and said, "I feel like every one of you are my younger brothers.
"You have done such a great job of coming back after what happened last year," Jones said. "I'm so proud of each and every one of you."
New York's Ruben Tejada hit the game's first pitch to Jones, who had a wide grin after making the pickup and then throwing out the shortstop.
The attendance was Atlanta's largest of the season and the seventh-biggest in Turner Field history. ... Braves C Brian McCann (sore right knee, sore right shoulder) was held out for the second straight day.

This is a strange room where nature is taking over, vines hang in through the cracks and weeds grow out of the furniture.
There are two picture frames that show scenes from my mind. On the left I am nails done, long dress, stiletto heels and I am in the Forest collecting wood, lighting a fire burning meat. On the right I am hiding behind a beard still in the Forest planting flowers, planting tampons, planting a turkey baster. There is a t.v in the corner playing the adverts that get under my skin.

Porn Scenes » BBW » These Tits Are Made For Nutting
Featuring: Betty Blac and Johnny Champ
Date: 04/06/2012
Duration: 17:00 min.
A playful type of girl with a great smile and a stupendous body and boobs, lovely Betty Blac is spending some couch time with a new friend she's met at XLGirls. Betty is always interested in the positive effects her 36K jugs have on the opposite sex. She and JC have a tit-flirting session to warm things up. Betty is wearing a red tube dress that fits her like plastic wrap. These are the best dresses for a huge-chested and round-assed girl, in our opinion. She places her hands under her breasts and jiggles her mounds, taking obvious pleasure in his visual enjoyment. They lower the straps so Betty's tits can be exposed and marveled over, as they should be. Works of art should always be appreciated. JC buries his face in them and says he could take a nap like that. He leans back so she can smother him with their heavy, pliable softness.

Kanye West And Mary-Kate Olsen Reportedly Hooked Up?! Is This The Oddest Couple Ever?
Kanye West and Mary-Kate Olsen were apparently spotted hooking up at his birthday party! How random!
Kanye West, 34, and Mary-Kate Olsen, 24, were spotted hooking up last night in NYC, according to Perez Hilton. The two were seen together at Kanye's birthday bash at Submercer nightclub. Kanye is often linked to celebrities but we never saw this one coming. Could it be serious or just for fun?
The news of their rendezvous comes just after whispers that Justin Timberlake and Ashley Olsen are romantically involved. What is going on with the Olsen twins?
Mary-Kate broke up with longterm boyfriend Nate Lowman a year ago last February, and Kanye and on/off girlfriend Amber Rose broke up last summer. If the rumors are true, Kanye and Mary-Kate could possibly be one of the strangest pairs of all time. What do you think of the potential couple, BFFs? VOTE NOW!
-Josh DeMilta

I'm impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that's both educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is something not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I stumbled across this during my hunt for something regarding this.

Your brain is not designed to hold ideas, your brain is designed to have ideas." – Robert Allen, 'Getting Things Done"
An informal survey of 150 senior managers who participated in the most recent Sustainable Leaders Strategic Planning workshop revealed the biggest challenge they faced was "having too much to do in too little time with fewer resources than ever before… and having to make the right decisions quickly."
The often unbelievable demands to be both highly productive and accurate bombard us daily. What's different? The speed with which business must get done today is light years faster than even 15 or 20 years ago. In many industries (technology), change happens too quickly and if you only strive to keep up, you will be out of business faster than you can say "Buck Rogers."
There are only 24 hours in a day and you cannot create "more time" in a day. The solution for most is to work longer and harder to get the job done. The only problem with that solution is that it is a recipe for burn out.
Let's break the rules and shift your perspective consider this: Time is a limited resource and energy is an infinitely unlimited resource. You cannot create more time. You can, however, create more energy by taking control not only of your time, but where your attention is within that time frame.
My personal observation is that productive and sustainable leaders who feel happy and satisfied at the end of each day actively focus on BOTH how much they DO and DON'T DO to conserve brain power and leverage energy successfully.
Say "No" 100 times for every time you say "Yes." If saying "No" is hard for you (as it is for most people), add "No, thank you" so you can get the added benefit of being grateful and appreciative, if not polite.
The latest studies in brain based learning prove that multitasking is not only impossible (we switch attention, our brains are incapable of focusing on two things at once), but to make matters worse, the reduction in accuracy for even the "best multi-tasker" doing the simplest of tasks is almost 50%. Pretty scary when you think about the complex tasks you do simultaneously (driving a car, talking on a cell phone or talking on the phone and typing an email response). Try to focus on doing one thing at a time. Notice how much less time it takes, especially because you don't run the risk of hitting "send" prematurely then spending time on damage control.
Bottom line, people will feel heard and be able to find their own solutions more easily without unnecessary interference from you. And, you will conserve your brain power for more important challenges that lie ahead.
When you delegate, trust and offer challenges to people, not only will it benefit you, but also they'll feel better about you if you do. We all know the importance of delegating so that you aren't seen as the control freak in the corner office. But did you know that when you delegate responsibilities and tasks (with their buy in of course), the meta-message (as long as the deadline is reasonable or they are involved in setting the deadline) or message under the message, is "trust." The receiver feels you believe in them enough to give them the opportunity to rise to the challenge. Win win.
Indecision happens when we have too many thoughts getting stuck in or out of sequence in the cognitive pipeline. Often we can get thoughts flowing again when we ask ourselves "What's the one most important thing that needs to be decided and acted upon before that decision can be made?"
Whether you are a list maker or mind map fan, get every thought bouncing around inside of your head OUT of your head and onto paper, a whiteboard or computer program you are in the habit of checking or using regularly ("Freemind" is a simple and free example). Robert Allen's "Getting Things Done" is a must read for "How To's" when it comes to being more productive so you can take quick, effective action.
The Pre-Frontal Cortex (PFC for short) is the part of your brain responsible for your ability to avoid distraction, make decisions, reason, understand and memorize. Think of it as powered by rechargeable batteries, not a 220v power cord plugged into an outlet in the wall. It needs frequent recharging (among other ingredients) in order for high performance. Taking a short 20 minute walk inside or outside your office building at the most hectic time of day will not only benefit your metabolism and your waistline, but also your brain. Try shutting off your brain for 5 minutes just two or three times a day, talk to a co-worker about a non-related subject (this is probably why gossip is so enticing), play a game of angry birds or juggle.
Think of how many "mindless" automatic patterns you have every day. Repeatedly doing routine tasks (like shaving, putting on your pants or brushing your teeth) the same way every day, doesn't do your brain any favors. You are just deepening the same brain groove over and over. You are wasting valuable real estate! If you normally put your right leg in your pants first, put your left leg in first instead. If you begin shaving your face left side first, try starting your first swipe on a different part of your face. Do you have stairs in your office building? Which leg do you typically start with as you start up a flight of stairs? Try what you think I'm going to suggest next ….
If you are paid to think, treat your brain and your energy as precious commodities that need daily TLC to function most effectively and with ease. Pick one of these 7 Tips to practice each day and notice what happens to your mind and your mood; you too will become a Sustainable Leader one small step at a time.
Did you know that 47% of newly hired or recently promoted Senior Executives get fired or quit within the first 18 months on the job? But I"m not a Senior Executive or "Leader" … you say. Why would you let that stop you from learning from their mistakes?
Why? One reason is poor performance, another is burn up and burn out caused by the stress from the inability to get onboard with the "human side" of the success equation fast enough: Connecting and building trust with your new team!
Not just any stress is the culprit … Power Stress*, a unique type of stress experienced by those who are responsible for the well being of others – your team, your employees and possibly even your clients.
Unrecognized and unresolved stress Power Stress will paralyze your ability to think quickly and use your intuition to make the right decisions? Because stress is contagious, your team suffers, too … especially when you need then the most!
If you are a newly hired or recently promoted leader building trust with your new team is essential for success in your new role.
Beware … awareness is overrated!
If you don't have an executable accountability plan for WHAT, WHEN & HOW TO you could find that the fall down the corporate ladder is much swifter than the climb up …
What if you had a 3 Step Approach to Leverage Power Stress so you can reduce, manage and yes, even leverage the inevitable people challenges that come with your new position …
If you don't yet have an executable plan for making lasting change – make one. To qualify for a complimentary, no obligation Leadership Strategy Session click here.

*Power Stress or Leadership Stress was originally described by Dr. Richard Boyatzis, et. al in Resonant Leadership
[sharebox5_no_border] [/sharebox5_no_border]
I recently had the pleasure to be invited to be the keynote speaker for the SBDC (Small Business Development Center) Women in Business Leadership Conference ("Women Redefining Business") where the keynote message was about communication, connection and courage as a pathway to Professional Intimacy: The Key to Sustainable Leadership.
The breakout session piggybacked on how business owners can leverage stress by learning how to have authentic conversations with their employees in order to avoid entrepreneurial burn out.
When I give this talk, I usually ask the audience for a raise of hands if they consider stress a problem for them at work (i.e., negative effect on productivity, experience physical stress-related symptoms and relationship problems like irritability).
When the audience is predominantly male, only about 30% of the men in the audience raise their hands.
This audience was 98% female, and about 80% of the audience raised said "Yes!" to is stress a problem for you at work.
Why such a large difference between men and women?
According to research published by the the American Psychological Association on gender and stress:
" … Men and women report different reactions to stress, both physically and mentally. They attempt to manage stress in very different ways and also perceive their ability to do so — and the things that stand in their way — in markedly different ways. Findings suggest that while women are more likely to report physical symptoms associated with stress, they are doing a better job connecting with others in their lives and, at times, these connections are important to their stress management strategies."
The bottom line is whether you are a man or a woman, an entrepreneur, a senior manager or CEO, your unrecognized and untreated stress could quickly be the end of your career, your relationships and quite possibly your life as long as you ignore the symptoms or refuse to change your behavior.
While work/life balance is a good solution, I'm not convinced it's the only solution. There is another most surprising solution, that can be executed at work just about any time of the day and there's zero financial cost.
A process I have developed over many years of working with highly successful business people whose steps are backed by scientific research and will reduce stress and prevent burn out. Simply stated, you can execute the steps in quick and simple conversations and relationships at work. I call it "Professional Intimacy: The key to becoming a Sustainable Leader (one who is built to last for the long haul).
There are three simple steps to Professional Intimacy … (a special thank you to Heather Martinez, who crafted the Story Map of my Keynote )
1. Connection – Know the answer to these four questions asked by Kevin Cashman, Author of Leadership from the Inside Out:
Who Am I? Where Am I Going? Why Am I Going There? and I'll add Who is Going With Me?
2. Curiosity – When it comes to brain science, the truth is the same chemicals that are involved in a fearful are also involved when we feel curious or excited. What's the difference? The story I tell myself to explain the situation, why it's happening and what'll be the result. Asking better questions when it comes to making meaning of my environment will result in my responding rather than automatically reacting because I've assumed the worst case scenario (which is likely not the case, anyhow).
3. Communicate – Have the courage to communicate you care when it comes to your team. Be a real human being, not some ivory-tower-untouchable-walk-on-water-CXO. Vulnerability, letting people see you sweat, showing your emotions (I didn't say wear your heart on your sleeve), asking someone "How are you doing? What do you need right now?" when they appear to be having a rough day. Oh yes, then shut up and listen … the most important part. Doing this will build trust and respect, which will go both ways. Try it, I dare you.

My first opportunity to consciously stand up for my professional and philosophical beliefs about Professional Intimacy occurred in 1994. In the last year of my Master's program, my thesis involved research on the process of creating a successful business partnership.
Using Appreciative Inquiry, our process resulted in a model of a synergistic triangle consisting of three equally key ingredients, where 1 + 1 = 3 (I was never good at math, but this makes sense … read on):
In the early 1990′s the unspoken, unwritten rule in the business world was "Don't Talk About Relationships, feelings or any of the soft, fluffy stuff humans were made of when delivering leadership or management training or when speaking to businesses, managers or executive leaders about improving productivity or performance. I was directed to leave that stuff at the door and talk about "real" skills. Don't feel … just get to work!
I followed this advice for a while and felt my hands (and credibility) were tied behind my back.
Then I ignoring that advice. After 12 years in business, our design resulted in not only building our own successful business and partnership, but also served as a model for our clients to build sustainable partnerships.
Through the process of developing Professional Intimacy as defined in my thesis in 1994 and even to this day, I continued to learn and grow both intra-personally and inter-personally as a result.
The truth is this: We learn and grow in relationship, not in isolation. Following the old rule and disregarding the complex and dynamic relationship systems we create through all of our relationships, however brief, is ridiculous.
Here's the point: My thesis was nominated for publication in the college journal … an honor, for sure. However, the committee stated it would only be considered for publication only if I changed the title.
They objected to the phrase I used to symbolize our design for a successful business partnership: Professional Intimacy.
Because sexual harassment in the workplace was such a touchy (pun intended) topic in the early 90′s, the committee frowned upon my use of the phrase in the title. I stood my ground on principle because even though the rule was "Don't talk about RELATIONSHIPS and WORK in the same sentence." I couldn't (or wouldn't) in good conscience back down. Besides, I have a strong oppositional reflex.
I ran across the dusty, bound thesis years later and wondered …
"Did I do the right thing in standing up for my values?"
"Would my career path have changed had I decided to belly up?"
"Would I have been able to help more people sooner?"
I suppose I'll never know… What would you have done?
PS. Check out Chapter 19: "Professional Intimacy: The key to being a Sustainable Leader" in the book "The Character Based Leader: Instigating a leadership revolution one person at a time" on Amazon or your favorite bookseller.

As the boss, have you ever "lost it" in a meeting? Even if your answer is "Of course not!" would your team agree with you?
The way we communicate determines our ability to engage, motivate and inspire creativity in our team.
Unfortunately, the skills needed to communicate effectively are sometimes lost because what we see and hear in ourselves as a leader is not always the same as what our employees experience during conversations and meetings.
By using Brain Based Learning Strategies we can develop a new understanding of our approach and the impact it has on results.
Coming to terms with how we lead is the first step to improving our effectiveness and ability to develop into a Sustainable Leader, one that can face challenges and drive his or her team to success over the long haul.
I wrote a post describing an executive coaching session with "Jeff" (not his real name) where you can see Brain Based Learning, self evaluation and creating a new mindset for improved leadership effectiveness in action:
It was "Jeff's" (not his real name) third team meeting this week, and after this particularly long meeting he was beyond frustrated. "Why can't they just get it right? How many times do I have to tell them what I want? Why don't they get it? Are they that stupid? Or do they just not give a damn?" Click here to read the entire blog post at ManagingAmericans

A hoax circulating on the Internet claims that Bayer makes its extra-strength quick-release crystals to dissolve under the tongue to deliver a faster effect than tablets when taken during a heart attack, notes Snopes.com. However, Bayer does not recommend the crystals for this purpose.Continue Reading
Bayer aspirin extra-strength quick-release crystals are not suitable for use during a heart attack, notes Snopes.com. The crystals contain 850 milligrams of aspirin, which is about 10 times the FDA-recommended dosage for countering heart attacks in patients. In addition, the crystals contain 65 milligrams of caffeine, a substance known to increase the heart rate.
However, chewing a 325-milligram aspirin during a heart attack can be beneficial, notes Harvard Health Publications. Aspirin works by inhibiting the formation of platelets, lessening blood clots and blockages.Learn more about Medications & Vitamins

I think I've been infected with the flu
Once again bordems got me feeling blue
Sometimes in this live you've got to cut the crap
Sit down for my rights 'cause I don't care
To do what everybody else would do. I'm fine right here
I voted once but I didn't win, I'll never vote again
People say I should give a damn
People say I should respect this land
But I say no way I wont compromise
Either way my life remains the same
Its great, come join me at the lake it's freshly stocked
No work just play leeching of the state all day
Clears my mind
They say this is the land of the free
To me that means I have the liberty to sit down for
My rights 'cause I don't care
To do what everybody else would do I'm fine right here
I voted once but I didn't win I'll never vote again
God bless America the home of the whopper
God bless America billions billions served
Every week from Moscow
To Madagascar, Ronald Mcdonalds smile warms
The hearts of all people regardless of race,
Color, creed, s** and social status
By opening 3 new Mcdonalds restaurants as ambas-
Sador of my country, America. Ronald personally
Invites you to join him on his quest to end world
Hunger enjoy!

We are all familiar with the seven deadly sins, but may be we would struggle to name them all. However, Abbeydale Brewery have helped us. They have produced a range of beers named after each one.
I encountered my first one on the bar at the Star yesterday,'Greed' - aptly named as it has left me hungry for more.
The range are all 7% and according to the excellent brewery website are ' Belgian Dubbel aged in seven different oak casks...primed with molasses and aged for 4 months in burgundy white oak barriques'. However each 'sin' has a different twist -
Envy - Charred Oak Chips
Greed - Orange and Ginger
Gluttony - Cacao and Vanilla
Lust - Raspberry and Vanilla
Pride - Coffee
Sloth - Vanilla and extra Molasses
Wrath - Coriander seeds
and Unsinned which is original as it were.
There are very few of each barrel about - it was quite a coup for the Star to get one, but now having sampled one I want to go and try the others, which seems quite a task.
'Greed' was excellent. It did taste it's strength, and the ginger certainly came through, especially in the head before developing into the complexity of the beer. There was definitely orange there but lots of other things as well, and you certainly knew you had had one.
So if you want something a little different get down the Star and try it. Or if you find another of the range let me know...please.

Currently BrowsingData Management
The world around us is filled with data. We live in the information age, and often, our greatest challenge is not that we don't have the right data, but we don't know what to do with it. Wolfram|Alpha is an innovative service that tries to take some of the complexity out of the data around us, sorting it into info we can really use.
Wolfram|Alpha is built on the power of Mathemetica, a popular mathematics and computational tool used in education and research alike. It can solve advanced math, but can also take that same power to help you do research into population, finance, health, and more. It's even the power behind much of the iPhone 4S' Siri, helping dig up facts for users in seconds.
The Wolfram|Alpha team has constantly released updates to the service to help it handle increasingly advanced queries, and today, they've launched the biggest change to the service yet with the new Pro offering. Now you can put it to work on your own data, not just public data they've amassed, and you can download data to continue your research elsewhere.
Bookmarking apps are not exactly the rare breed they used to be. A lot has changed over a couple of years. In fact, there is too much supply than demand in the marketplace. On the other hand, the volume of bookmarks are going up exponentially and in nine out of ten cases users are locked into the service they first sign up with.
That probably explains the torrent of new wave bookmarking apps. Grazely is a next generation social bookmarking tool that helps you discover, save, organize and share exciting content on the web, privately or publicly. Is this web app as exceptional as it clams to be? Let us go find out!
We're coming to the end of a wonderful year and I've realized that I've read far more content online this year than any other. That being said, I've also accumulated long lists of articles that I haven't gotten around to reading and I attribute this to two factors: constant distractions and trouble retrieving my articles. Between all the advertising and cluttered layouts, most websites aren't conducive to painless reading experiences. Still, I've already made a New Year's resolution to read more and broaden my horizons, and I've found just the thing to help me with this.
Kippt is a new bookmarking app that aims to solve the problems we face in trying to read, keep track of and share content online. While there is already a plethora of bookmarking services on the web, Kippt brings to the table a fresh approach and an up-to-date aesthetic that is easy to get used to and fall in love with for first-timers and veterans alike. But does it have enough for you to change your bookmarking and reading habits? Let's see what it has to offer.
As incredible as it may seem, this year is almost over. Many of use made New Year's commitments last year, only to forget them on January 2nd. It's so easy to pick up bad habits, but incredibly hard to discipline ourselves to do what's good for us. If we'd make our New Year's goal to, say, drink more coffee this year, it'd be easy to do, but if we decide to cut out coffee this year, we'd likely give up.
Sometimes, though, what you need is a proverbial kick to keep you going. Joining a fitness club might get you to exercise better than just saying you'll run 5k a day on your own. You can't get others to motivate you to do everything, though, so you'll need to find better ways to keep yourself going on with your lofty personal goals.
That's where RoutineTap comes in.
You know that sinking feeling you get, when you realize something has just disappeared from your grasp forever? That stomach twisting pain at something that cost so much money, or so much time, something that's practically irreplaceable just disappearing into thin air. I hate that feeling.
The proliferation of digital goods in our lives is a double edged sword. While on the one hand, their simplicity, portability, and in many cases increased fidelity are all benefits to digital items, the ease with which they can also disappear can be frightening. While it may be difficult to misplace a wall shelf full of vinyl records, an MP3 library can vanish with a couple of key strokes. And while I'm not prepared to debate the pros and cons of building an analog library versus a digital one, I am here to show that this apparent fragility of digital things can be overcome.
Backing up your digital life is actually a pretty large discussion. It can encompass virtually everything you do and use with regards to computers. We're talking everything from digital assets like photos and videos, to potentially sensitive material like work-related documents or databases, to your online assets like social media postings and email documents. That's a lot of important data. Today I'll be highlighting a solution to backing up one niche out of all of those things: your website, all thanks to a service called Backup Machine.
If there's one thing that should be incredibly simple today, it should be making online forms and simple pages. There's no dearth of survey and form apps: from Wufoo to Google's free Docs Forms, there are form solutions for every design style and budget. And if you want to take payments, share rich info, or do almost anything else you want with a form, there's likely an app for that.
And then there's Lanbito. I'm always on the lookout for new high-quality web apps, and Lanbito caught my eye in our Quick Look post. It's a simple solution to making mobile forms, and best of all, it's a touch-ready web app. That's something you don't often see, and Lanbito's implementation is simply brilliant. It's worth taking a look at, even if you've already got a form solution you love.
Managing all your account credentials can be a cumbersome task if done from memory, and potentially insecure if you use a traditional method like writing them down on paper. And that problem has spawned a niche in the market for a web app that can safely store your login credentials, whilst speeding up the whole login process. Luckily for us, there's a ton of these apps available for us to choose from.
Hosted Notes is one of them. A lot of people, insecurely, write their login credentials down on paper, and Hosted Notes replicates this idea but in the cloud, but with a lot more security than standard paper notes. The service takes your login credentials and organises them into groups, for personal use throughout multiple types of website or for business use for multiple clients.
It's no secret that I am a huge WordPress advocate. It's full-featured, extendable, and super powerful. However, depending on the project it could be overkill. You need space and a database backend, and you'll end up with a lot of features that some clients might not use. Especially if you're making a site that won't be updated often, most of WordPress' features will go untouched.
Luckily, there are a bunch of lightweight CMSs. One of them is GetSimple CMS, a promising newer CMS that . Today, we'll take a closer look at that.

It is a temptation for email marketers to begin to send out more offers to customers if current campaigns are working well in the hope that increased frequency will yield greater returns.
This can be a risky strategy though; while more emails may produce better results, there is a point at which customers will tire of too many emails and start to unsubscribe, ignore, or mark emails as spam.
How many emails constitutes too many is difficult to judge and depends on the recipients, the content in emails, and other factors. I would say ten emails in eleven days, as in this example from VistaPrint, is too many, unless you are especially keen on receiving offers for free business cards.
However, there is also a risk in sending so few that recipients forget they signed up in the first place.
Mark Brownlow has produced an excellent summary of the issue, complete with some useful stats and tips for finding the right balance, as well as this 'frequency curve', which illustrates the problem well; sending more can increase profits, but there is a point when too many emails will have the opposite effect:
The key here, according to Brownlow, is to work out where you are on the curve. If you're at point A, it might be worth cranking up the frequency a little, but at D, then reducing the number of emails sent out could have a positive effect.
He cites the example of toptable.com, taken from an Emailcenter white paper, which halved the amount of emails and found that the total number of bookings went up.
The key here is to respond to customers and let them decide how many emails they want to receive in the first place, or only upping email frequency when it makes sense to do so, around Christmas for instance, or based on the information you already have about the customer.
Comments (3)
localsecrets.com is a good one - they have about a billion newsletters, but you can choose which ones you're interested in and also say how many emails you want to receive. May mean you miss out on some of their offers etc. but much better than having an inbox full of messages you don't have time to read...
Quite true.. too much email can piss prospects off..
Nice concept
Thanks for your information :D

I worked with two fellow freelance associates on the successful Stage 2 Activity Plan for the Silverstone Heritage Experience. Following the announcement of a £9.1 million Heritage Lottery Fund grant, the £20 million project will importantly preserve and bring Silverstone's history to life. The Experience will include:
- A permanent exhibition that will take visitors on an exciting two hour journey through motor racing past, present and future. The exhibition will be housed in the only remaining WWII hanger on the site, which is to the left of the main entrance. The hangar will be fully refurbished and re-clad to create a fantastic, authentic backdrop.
- The latest technology will be used to tell the amazing stories of the people that have been part of the site's history, from medieval monks and WW2 air crew to the racing drivers, riders, engineers and marshals of today.
- A Collections and Research Centre, offering museum and archive accredited storage for the unique British Racing Drivers' Club (BRDC) archive and other motor sport collections as well as a specialist library and learning space for school groups.
- A series of themed tours stopping off at iconic sites around the circuit.
Much of Silverstone's unique history and collection is literally embedded into the site which has an expanse of some 760 acres. The diverse heritage of the site spans over 5000 years and relates to the Bronze Age, Medieval Age, 18th century, Second World War and British technical and racing heritage.
So the project seeks to tell whole Silverstone story – one that can only be experienced by visiting the site itself and interacting with the multi-layered stories that are woven into the fabric of the modern racing circuit.
Through the creation of a heritage hub as a site of focus and understanding, a heritage trail, accessible archive and range of activities, Silverstone's history will reach a far wider audience than before and cement its importance for future generations.

New York Goes to Hollywood, Sister Patterson Shows UpMatt Richenthal at . Comments
The producers of New York Goes to Hollywood felt the need to inject more awfulness drama into the show last night, so they brought Tiffany Pollard's mom into the picture.
Naturally, Sister Patterson created havoc, including possibly costing her daughter a chance at a real movie. How did that even come about? We're glad you asked!

I absolutely am in love with this purchase. It has been worn a few times already and has held up great after each wash with no fading, loss of shape or pealing. This graphic works best I think against the grey I chose. Love that this artist represents the beautiful diversity of our Puerto Rican culture. This image resonates with me being that I am Puerto Rican of mostly African descent. Thank you Ida Yvette Robles for representing all of us Boricuas!

This item arrived stained and dingy. The t-shirt itself has a stain on it and the color is absolutely nothing like the photo. The product detail has my image on a white tank top; however, the tank top that arrived looks like it was washed with a bunch of brown clothes and has a dirty look to it, aside from the stain. I took a picture of a Gildan white t-shirt I own (thats been washed several times already) with the tank top I received to show how dingy the tank looks. I've opened a ticket regarding a refund or replacement on this item and still have yet to hear back from anyone. Yet again, not a good first impression for this company.

As some of you know, I seem to like to work in series.. and this is my third butterfly done with a very fine tipped magic marker. Stipple will drive you nuts but the way it ends up looking is well worth the effort. And going through a variety of health issues - this really helped keep my mind off it.
05-19-17: Due to the injury of my index finger I can no longer work the hours I used to so I'm working on very short timelines. What that means is that it's going to take me a lot longer to get anything done. You never realize how important a thing like a finger is until you damage it!!! Bear with me, I will post anything new as I finish them. Also, I would like to let all the groups that I belong to know that I'm trying to catch up on everything - considering I lost about a year in total where I really couldn't do much. Sorry for the influx. 07-07-16: Will be absent again due to a torn tendon in my right hand (index finger). Will be gone for at least 8 weeks 04-09-16: I just want to let every one know that I will probably be absent...
Our return policy is very simple:
If you're not happy with a purchase that you made on FineArtAmerica.com, for any reason, you can return it to us within 30 days of the order date.

EASTON, Pa. - May 21, 2012 --The wife of a Pennsylvania police officer killed in the line of duty says her 5-year-old son still asks her when his father will be coming home.
Jurors deciding if George Hitcho Jr. deserves the death penalty for killing Freemansburg police Officer Robert Lasso are hearing from the slain officer's family.
Jennifer Lasso tells a Northampton County jury her husband was killed just a few weeks before their wedding anniversary.
Several of Robert Lasso's family members gave testimony Monday at the start of Hitcho's sentencing hearing. He was convicted last week of first-degree murder for shooting Lasso in the head as the officer responded to an Aug. 11 disturbance call.
Hitcho's attorney says his client wasn't a violent person until after a series of head injuries.

Chloe Moretz Thought Taking on 'Carrie' was Intimidating!
Chloe Moretz makes an early morning arrival at LAX Airport after a cross-country flight on Friday (October 18) in Los Angeles.
The 16-year-old actress was in New York City the day before, accompanied by older brother Trevor, to promote her new movie Carrie. Carrie hit theaters TODAY! Be sure to check it out!
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Chloe Moretz
"I was intimated on taking on a Stephen King novel," Chloe said (via ABC News). "That's what scared me… trying to take something that was one of his most iconic pieces of work that he's ever written and try and breathe life, even halfway as good, as the words that he has put into a book."
20+ pictures inside of Chloe Moretz at the airport…

This season's battle is shaping up to be the most open in years, a point underlined by the fact that Southampton, Sunday's visitors to Stamford Bridge, will overtake their hosts with a victory.
Yet Mourinho was at pains to point out that when it comes to coping with the pressure of such a tight title race he holds all the advantages.
"I am at this stage at the best moment of my career, which is still being a young manager with years and years of experience," he declared. "Nothing is new for me in football. Everything that happens to me looks like déjà vu. It has happened to me before, for sure. I'm cool. I'm the kind of guy that year after year, title after title, I don't change. I have big maturity not to feel fragile after a defeat or after a bad result, so pressure doesn't arrive in that aspect."
David Moyes, a rookie as far as managing Manchester United is concerned, cannot say as much. Nor can Manuel Pellegrini at Manchester City as this is his first season in England. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur's Andre Villas-Boas is under pressure after a £100 million outlay on players led only to a trickle of goals.
Only Arsène Wenger can boast more years at a high-pressure Premier League helm, he has come through countless troubled times at Arsenal. Yet Mourinho was able to point out that there was a crucial difference in the Frenchman's job description.
"I don't think Arsène Wenger is under pressure," he said. "He has been in the job for 20 years and hasn't won anything for eight."
Southampton will return to London just a few days after Arsenal deflated them with a 2-0 victory last weekend but Chelsea will also be looking to bounce back from defeat, having lost 1-0 to Basle in the Champions League, a fixture after which striker Samuel Eto'o was ruled out for around two weeks through injury.
Saints' fortunes have improved dramatically under Mauricio Pochettino, who has tried to knock Mourinho off his perch before. However, when the Argentinian was in charge of Espanyol his side could not manage a goal, let alone grab a point in jousts with Mourinho's Real Madrid.
Pochettino's efforts on the south coast had not gone unnoticed however. "He has a dream job – good players, a good club, big trust and big stability," Mourinho said. "If he finishes fifth or sixth he will have done an incredible job. If he finishes seventh or eighth it's a good job."

There are many people I disagree with... often quite vehemently. Yet the jailing of a student for offensive tweets concerning the footballer Fabrice Muamba makes me very nervous. Freedom of expression means that we have the right to say anything within the law. The view of the court was that the drunken outpourings of Liam Stacey were illegal. They have been deemed to be not merely offensive but contrary to the law, since they have been deemed to "incite race hatred". As a result Mr. Stacey has now been sent to jail for 56 days. To my mind this is an excessive sentence, given the defendant's previous good character and in my view what has been inflicted by the word should be repaired by the word- that is to say a full and contrite apology. Some would argue that this is too lenient- yet the breach of the law comes less form the unpleasant content of Mr. Stacey's tweets, but from the fact that they were re-tweeted by genuine racists- which Mr. Stacey seems not to be. It strikes me that the law has paid no attention to malice aforethought- Mr. Stacey was simply drunk- and that makes me nervous, particularly in the face of such a severe sentence.
I have also grown more nervous about the increasingly offensive attacks being made against those who oppose gay marriage. The Now Show on Radio 4 has been particularly determined that those who oppose gay marriage must be nothing more than bigots, and that the only right contribution to the debate is to click "like" on the relevant Facebook page. To my mind, to reduce the complications of relationships and the wider issues of society to a simple "like" or tweet is not merely banal, but borders on Orwellian Newspeak. There are serious issues at the heart of the debate, not least the fact that marriage is not merely a legal and moral commitment of individuals to each other, but also to any children they may produce.
The religious believe that since it takes a male and female gamete to produce a child, the best way to bring up that child is that the providers of the gametes should be the parents through whole of their lives. Naturally this asks a lot of questions of gay relationships- or indeed hetero but infertile relationships. These are not the majority of relationships, but these together with those parents who break up before their children grow up, provide significant social questions. There is a discussion to have about wider relationships and why they fail. In that debate, the religious have a point of view which is sincerely held: stay faithfully together if at all possible, no matter what- even if, perhaps, the majority disagree with it.
To attack the religious because they disagree with you - particularly to dismiss their positions as mere bigotry- is unfair, and may be dangerous. For myself, having been friends for years with a couple that were amongst the very first to register a civil partnership, which I found very difficult to distinguish from a wedding, I do not oppose gay marriage, I support it. However I will defend those who sincerely believe that they should not be forced to offer religious sanction to something that they profoundly do not believe has that sanction. Forcing churches against their will to offer gay marriages is in any event- I believe- deeply illiberal. The tyranny of the majority over a minority is still tyranny.
In the end it comes down to respect. Liam Stacey did not respect those he attacked- largely it now seems because he was drunk. I am not sure that the Now Show has that excuse. Sincerely believing that children flourish best when they are brought up by their natural parents does not make that person a bigot- it may just show that they have read the scientific literature.
By all means ensure legal equality for gay and straight relationships, but also accept that there are inevitable differences among all relationships and that these should be respected. The reduction of individual people to some limited categories is unhealthy: pro-gay marriage=liberal hero, anti gay marriage= twisted bigot, is neither accurate nor wise.
I may disagree with other people's points of view, but by and large I am prepared to defend to the death their right to hold and express their views. I think people have a complete and total right to express whatever opinions that they have. Where that right is limited by the law, it should only be so limited with the lightest of touches. I don't think churchmen are generally bigots and I don't think Liam Stacey should be in jail.

FY16 Annual Report
Many parts of Bremer County have experienced extensive flooding. If you find yourself affected by flood waters, be sure to keep your health and safety as your number one priority as you begin the clean-up. Below are helpful fact sheets to help you manage flood clean-up and health and safety concerns. If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact the Bremer County Health Department at 319-352-0082 or 319-415-5623.
