Ozone is a Dutch based SAP sourcing and outsourcing services provider with an Eastern European SAP Competence Center located in Minsk, Belarus. We bridge onsite demand for and nearshore supply of SAP resources and expertise. We exist to complement the SAP operation of our customers in Western Europe. Our customers are either SAP specialized services providers or SAP-run endcustomers. We intend to complement our customers with high-quality and cost-effective SAP resources and expertise at an unprecedented level of contractual flexibility. To go short: we offer highly qualified SAP consultants at very competitive rate levels within the boundaries of any possible contract variant (fixed-price or time-material without limitations for minimal contract terms of utilization levels).
We started out with an emphasis on contemporary SAP technologies, i.e. SAP NetWeaver, in particular BI (Business Intelligence), EP (Enterprise Portals) and CAF (Composite Applications or xApps). But we have grown to become a much broader SAP services provider. We currently cover the complete NetWeaver stack with adjacent knowledge areas like PI/XI (Process Integration and its predecessor eXhange Infrastructure) and MDM (Master Data Management). In addition, we provide consultancy services related to traditional SAP technologies like SAP CRM and SAP ERP (R/3 FI, CO, SD, MM, PP, PS, WM). In the field of hardcore programming, we are very well qualified in ABAP, Java and WebDynpro development.
Combined with an evolution in the type of SAP expertise, we evolved in the type of SAP operations that we cover. Our coverage currently includes blueprinting, designing, development, implementation, migration, testing and support.

This was my second annual trip to Foodbuzz Festival in San Francisco. Last year, I packed my bag and journeyed to SF for the first time without knowing anyone or what I was getting myself into. It was a great experience. I met a lot of fellow food bloggers and kept in touch with some.
This year, I'm a big(ger) girl and the second time going wasn't as intimidating. I ended up being too comfortable and mostly interested in what the festival had to offer. I didn't bring as many cards, and since I met some people from last year, I didn't make as much effort this year to meet as many people. Not very proactive or social, I know. I also didn't take as many photos, often too caught up in conversations than paying attention to what was going around me. The only thing I made sure I took pictures of was..the food! Not very good ones either. My camera sucks and I hate it so much >:(
Friday Night:
Goody bag
There were other gift bag stuffers not featured in the photo, 2 Godiva coffee bags, Cascade dish washing tablets, and a chocolate cake mix -__-''. Last year's goody bag was way better : S
Welcome reception and dinner at Terra Gallery
This year's welcome reception seemed more upscale as it was held at Terra Gallery, a popular space for hosting events. It was open bar, yay! I got to try Hell or High watermelon ale and it was amazing, tasted kinda like jolly rancher but not too sweet. I wanted to bring a case load back to Canadaland. Along side the booze, was an island of hor d'ourves, mostly different flavours of hummus by Sabra. They were pretty good, and there was an interesting wasabi flavour. The dessert hummus, coconut and chocolate, was a no go.
|Glazed pork belly with broccoli puree
|Pan-seared scallop
|Tuscan beef stew and brown sugar butter roasted chicken
|meatloaf muffin and whipped potato, salt cod cake, beet ravioli, mac and cheese, kale leek ricotta tart
|potato brocoli soup, butternut squash orzo
|Lentil salad and ceviche shooter
Too much food, too much booze. I was near state of coma. After the dinner, I called it a night.
Afternoon at the Tasting Pavilion at the Metreon
It was another afternoon of endless food and booze sampling. The event was 3 hours long and I didn't expect that I would be there from beginning to end. I must say that I'm glad I stayed around. Godiva Coffee had an awesome booth, giving out sample bags of their flavoured coffee, chocolates, and pumpkin latte. Some were not so great, such as Jimtown where the lady gave us a dab of oil from their spreads for samples. No, Thanks.
One of my favourite sponsors, Alaska Seafood, they always have the best food.
Vignette Wine Country soda, non-alcoholic varieties!
Bloom Gin and their lemon honey concoction. I couldn't have just one!!
Chocolate stout from 21st Amendment and Three Twins organic vanilla ice-cream.
Gala Dinner hosted by Alexia Foods
Shortly after,
2 hours later, after I walked through the rain, I ended up at the gala dinner hosted at the Grand Hyatt hotel. More feasting about to commence.
Tyler Florence came out and performed a cooking demo. for the next hour. The only thing I learned was how to make a brine.
It was a dine and dash. I didn't come back for the farewell brunch on Sunday hosted by Godiva Coffee. Overall, I thought last year's event was better, definitely the goodie bag and the gala dinner were way better. My favourite part of the festival was probably the Tasting Pavilion.
What I got from the Tasting Pavilion...
479 black truffle and white cheddar popcorn.. Only 70 calories per bag!

Well, apparently, I am on the "updating the blog" once a month track here. Yowsa's! I can't believe it's been exactly a month since I last posted my super adventures with MacGruber. But, with the hubs at the Ben Harper concert at Summerfest (yes..I want to cry, but, alas, our favorite babysitter is gone for the weekend!) and sweet MacGrubes asleep, now seems the perfect time for a little update!! Now..to tell you about our entire month of June...hmmm..where to begin?? Just teasing! I would be exhausted and you, my friend, would most likely be b-o-r-e-d! Tonight, I have a collection of little ditties for ya, as I like to call them, and later I will post about our awesome trip to Nana and Baba's and our fantastic 4th of July weekend, thus far anyway.
So here goes.
Ditty #1-
MacGruber makes me laugh nonstop throughout the day. At dinner tonight I had to hide behind the pickle jar, (Not kidding, this thing is ginormous and I could actually hide my entire head behind it! Thank you Sam's Club!) and snicker...because this boy is fun-ny!
Let me transcribe a very one-sided conversation he was having with me (kind of..) while he was enjoying Kipper tonight.
"Mama...hahahahaha..look at that big froggy..I yove (love) froggies. Auntie Hollie has a Big FAT green froggie in her garden. It hops hops hops like this Mama.. (MacGruber starts hopping.) Do you yove (love) froggies too Mama? I yove them soooo much. I yove chocolate too Mama! Cooper no have chocolate. He could get very very sick. And poop soo much! YUCK! There was a Big FAT poop in the yard, Mama. Do you yike poop too?" Now, imagine that being said and done all within a couple of second or less! Whew! (And, I apologize for the poo reference..again. Apparently, with a 2 year old little man, the doo doo is inevitable!)
An older lady at the store last week actually said, "Oh boy..I forgot how much they talk." Tell me about it sister...this guy is a talker!
Ditty #2-
While enjoying your favorite Arby's roast beef (I know, I know...not uber-healthy. But, listen, folks..they must be laced with something because he sure does love them..and it is protein, right?) you held up a tiny piece of meat, wiggled it between your fingers and said, "Come here yittle beaver." I completely choked on my soda because really MacGruber, little beaver!? Where in the world did you hear that one?
Ditty #3-
You are definitely a teacher's child. Especially a kindergarten teacher. In the womb, you must have been memorizing my favorite teacher phrases like "Sit down, friends" or "Come to the circle, friends." When you play with your cars, I often listen to your sweet little conversations. I hear "okay friends, let's go" and "c'mon friends, time for the big race!" Those cars really are your best friends..they travel everywhere with us.
Ditty #4-
Okay..back to the poop here. But this one is laugh out loud funny. Hopefully anyway...:)
A couple of weeks ago, while you were playing in the tub, I noticed those familiar signs. The red, watery eyes, the holding of the breath, the grunting..I knew what was about to happen and I was determined to stop it!! I looked at you and before I could even say anything.. you said, "What Mama!?!? I not doin' nothin!" Hahaha..you were caught red-handed..err..butted?! And, you totally were doin' somethin'!
Tonight, we were snuggled together reading some Little Critter and you started playing with my hair which you haven't really done before. It was so sweet, and gentle, and I wanted to squeeze your cuteness to pieces! Daddy and I are soooo lucky!

The new meeting brought together leading genomics researchers, healthcare professionals and healthcare industry stakeholders to rigorously explore exciting developments at the interface of genomics, medicine, and health. As one attendee said, "I came away with a renewed passion for the work we do… being able to see the impact it has on the patients. Overall, it was a great opportunity to meet people who are in the same field, but interact in different roles." Another noted, "Just overall very impressed with how well the technical and the clinical came together. Very relevant."

In college, a gin and tonic was the drink I ordered on Friday nights out with friends — it was often strong, quick for me to order and easy for the bartenders to make. Those familiar cocktails of my early 20s, however, are nothing like the half-dozen gin and tonic combinations on the menu at El Chipirón, the relatively new Spanish restaurant on South Lamar Boulevard. And thank heaven for that.
The bubbly, botanical elixirs piled high with fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices and even flower petals in tall, spotless wineglasses are just about the best things I've had this year. El Chipirón has imported this tradition straight from Spain, as it has done with its food menu of tapas and pinchos.
Spain is the home country of El Chipirón's owner and chef, Pablo Gomez, and bars and restaurants there have long been making these cocktails with fresh, seasonal additions and often Spanish-produced gin and tonic. Gin and tonics are the only drinks that some places in Spain will serve, he says; although El Chipirón offers other cocktails as well as wine and beer, the Spanish-style G&Ts constitute the bulk of the cocktail program.
So far, the decision to feature them so heavily has paid off.
"We've converted a lot of people into gin and tonic drinkers," Gomez says. "We have to ease them into it because they see gin as easy and fresh, and they want something different. Or they see gin as very polarizing. People think of gin and tonics as the drink that smells like cologne. But once you explain it a little bit, give them a little taster, then they love them."
MORE: How to make the versatile gin a star spirit at your home bar
The initial gin and tonic menu at the bright and modern El Chipirón — the centerpiece of which is a beautiful light-colored marble bar — has been created primarily by Gomez. Future recipes, however, will come from bartenders like Chris Scales, who now understands what his boss means when he says he wants a Spanish-style gin and tonic.
Examples at the restaurant include the Cumbersome (Hendrick's gin, elderflower tonic, cucumber and flower petals) and Tranquilo (Alkemist gin, Mediterranean tonic, cucumber, mint, lime, peppercorn and cardamom). Gomez thought them up by first deciding what gin to start with, which sets the groundwork for the type of tonic used and the additional ingredients going in.
"One thing we take into account when coming up with a gin and tonic are what kind of botanicals are in the gin, and depending on what gin it is, how much alcohol it has, if it's more mineral or acidic, that's when we decide what kind of tonic we use," he says. "Then, what kind of flavors we want to enhance in both. For instance, if we are using the Gin Mare, it has a lot of spices like basil, it has a subtle flavor, not a big punch in the mouth, so it would go nice with basil."
The ice and the red wine glasses the drinks are served in are just as integral. Even how the bartender prepares the cocktail plays a role: Scales demonstrated on a recent visit that he slowly pours the tonic into the carefully tilted glass to make sure the drink stays fizzy. The gas in the bubbles pushes the aroma up and into your nose, he says; the shape of the glass has a similar effect.
All those small, seemingly inconsequential details result in a bubbly, aromatic cocktail that draws out new flavors and scents as the fruits, herbs and vegetables infuse and blend with the gin while you drink it and as the ice, a giant cube, slowly melts.
"You can tell the difference between the very first sip and the very last," Gomez says.
His gin and tonic program hasn't grown quite as quickly as he'd hoped it would, in part because some of the gins he is trying to import from Spain aren't regularly brought into Texas. Hurricanes Harvey and Irma also slowed the import process last month and delayed the launch of El Chipirón's wine menu. But Gomez promises that having Spanish spirits like the aforementioned Gin Mare, made in a small fishing town outside Barcelona, will strengthen the program.
Having a little bit of a Texas flavor doesn't hurt, either. Enter the Tejano. At $14, it's the most expensive gin and tonic on the menu, but for good reason. The drink has Dripping Springs Gin, Mediterranean tonic, rosemary, orange, lime, star anise, peppercorn and one surprise: a glass filled with smoke. (Make sure you have your phone handy if you want an Instagram photo; it dissipates fast.) Gomez created the Tejano to offer Spanish tradition with Texas flair.
"'Tejano' means 'Texan' in Spanish, and we wanted to work with flavors that are very familiar to Texans, that feel like home," he says. "We used ingredients that would bring out a kind of barbecue flavor and chose a flavor-neutral gin to enhance it."
And once you've finished with your gin and tonic? Some customers don't let any piece of the cocktail — even the remaining bits of fruit and vegetables — go to waste.
"I'll look up from the bar and see someone stick their fork in the glass and get the leftovers," Scales said.

Credit cards aren't evil, and they don't create debt in and of themselves. If used properly, they can actually be a good financial tool for families. Essentially, a credit card provides you a short-term loan that is interest free from the date you use the card to the end of the billing cycle. If you pay the balance off before that, the loan is virtually free, although some credit cards do come with fees. Credit cards can come in handy during emergencies or travel.
But credit card debt can build quickly once it does start to build, and many families find themselves with high balances before they realize it. If your credit card debt has snowballed -- for whatever reason -- there are some things you can do to pay it down. Financial experts break into two schools of thought: pay the highest interest card first or pay the lowest balance card first.
Paying the lowest balance first lets you get rid of a debt quicker, which boosts morale and lets you put the money you were paying on the smaller debt to a bigger debt. It's known as a snowball effect: the more debts you pay off, the more you are able to pay on other debts.
Paying the highest interest accounts off first could save you more in the long run, since you reduce the amount of interest you are paying overall. Choosing a debt management strategy is a personal choice. You should consider your own financial situation, goals and needs before deciding on a plan.
In some cases, paying down the debts on your own simply isn't possible. This is especially true for individuals who suddenly have a different financial situation because of job loss, medical issues or other major life events. You aren't left without options, though. Bankruptcy and other debt relief solutions can help you take control of growing credit card debt and reset your financial situation for the future.

A strong cold front is located in Arkansas early this morning, and is moving southeast rather quickly. Southerly flow ahead of the front has started to bring warm, moist air at the lower levels into Mississippi and west Alabama (see Wes's post below), and as the front gets closer, winds will increase this morning, possibly gusting to 30 mph in valleys and 40 mph or more on ridgetops.
As is often the case with winter time systems, there is a lot of wind shear with this one. Winds at the surface are blowing out of the SE at 20 mph or so, but at 3,000 feet, winds are blowing out of the SW at 60 mph, producing spin in the atmosphere. Helicity values, that represent the spin in the atmosphere necessary for storm rotation, are between 200 and 400 m2/s2 in MS this morning, and these values will spread over Alabama by 6 am. This means that storms can survive in a more stable environment than normal, and also that storms that do form may rotate.
However, the air is not that unstable for thunderstorms, and is not expected to become very unstable today in areas north of I-20. Even with some warm air at the ground, temperatures aloft are not too cold, therefore storms do not have much energy. However, we will have to watch closely, as there have been some reports of wind damage with the storms in Arkansas and Texas last evening, and with winds of 60 mph just above the surface, it will not take much of a downdraft in a storm to bring some of those winds down, producing scattered wind gusts of 50 mph around central Alabama and maybe some power outages. This should not be a major storm for Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, or Anniston. Farther south, where the air will be more unstable, a few more storms may be severe, and there is a small chance of tornadoes. You can never rule anything out as we learned last week in the storms that came through and produced a tornado on Finley Avenue that lasted 2 minutes, but most of us will see wind and rain.
It will get much colder after the front goes by Alabama, with temperatures dropping into the 40s by this afternoon, and wind chill near 30 by 5 pm. Friday morning will be very cold with temperatures near 30 and wind chills near 20.
More later, as we will be watching this situation carefully at WBRC.
On the northern end of this winter storm, snow is falling tonight, and thundersnow, much like we had in the Blizzard of 1993, is occurring over parts of Iowa. Check out this video.

Preventing real estate fraud is a major challenge that most real estate sales professionals, and even lenders for that matter, encounter. Real estate fraud presents itself in many forms – some more common than others.
Title fraud: Though this doesn't happen often, it is a costly form of fraud that one hopes they are protected against with their title insurance. As a real estate sales professional, do you want to be associated with the origination where title fraud is present on a deal? Absolutely not. The best ways to combat title fraud are to meet the borrowers, request identification, independently verify who is on title to the home and ask them questions about the home, sales history, even things in the area that may help you identify if something seems a bit off!
Value fraud: in a recent publication, the Law Society of BC had an excellent example of this type of fraud that we thought it would be prudent to share.
"Value fraud in this situation, back-to-back purchases of the same property are arranged from a legitimate vendor. The first purchase is for the arranged sale price — say $300,000. Then a subsequent (fraudulent) deal (from one fraudster to another) is arranged (i.e., a "flip") for $400,000. Both purchases are set to close on the same day. The fraudster arranges for a high-ratio mortgage on the basis of the second deal. The high-ratio mortgage funds are used to close the real estate deals, since the amount of the mortgage (95% of $400,000 = $380,000) is enough to cover the deals. The fraudsters are counting on the financial institutions not doing their full due diligence or having an on-site appraisal done of the property to verify the stated property value. Sooner or later, the balance of the mortgage funds and the fraudster disappear, leaving the bank holding a mortgage for far more than the property is worth."
"A second value fraud occurs when a legitimate agreement of purchase and sale is entered into between a vendor and the fraudster, say for $350,000. The vendor and the fraudster then sign a one-page amendment that provides a credit of $50,000 against the purchase price (stated to be for repairs). The fraudster does not disclose this credit in obtaining high-ratio financing. The deal closes and the mortgage payments stop shortly thereafter. The fraudster disappears with the balance of the financing leaving the bank with a mortgage greater than the value of the property."
Check out the full article here: https://www.lawsociety.bc.ca/page.cfm?cid=1347&t=Practice-Tips:-Fighting-back-against-fraud-%E2%80%94-the-risks-in-real-estate.
Here are some red flags that can help you to suss out a real estate fraudster:
Above is just a short list of behaviours that can occur that can mean fraud. Your ears might be ringing but here come the words again: due diligence saves the day, most of the time. Think of water, forcefully flowing from the tap as your deals, now think of the spatter that escapes the stream as representing these instances when something on a deal is off. Maybe in these cases it is better to dig a little deeper and perhaps pass on a deal rather than getting caught in the middle of a fraud scheme that can not only get you in trouble, but also put your relationships with your partners at risk.
For more information about tools you can use to identify real estate fraud please visit www.geowarehouse.ca.
If you are sick and it is something that is not visible to the eye, like a broken bone for example, the doctor may give you an x-ray, CAT scan or even an MRI to identify the problem and fix it.
As a real estate sales professional you too can figuratively x-ray your client. While x-rays administered by doctors are usually taken after a medical issue, you can x-ray your client at any time. In fact the sooner you x-ray your client, the better.
If you haven't yet connected the dots, when we reference x-ray we mean conducting due diligence. Performing due diligence helps you to identify if your customer or the house that they are buying has an issue – almost an illness that may or may not be visible right away.
Performing a virtual x-ray to complete due diligence on file is one of the best ways to eliminate the chance of any surprises popping up on your deal later. You want to make sure you perform searches to learn:
When is the right time to perform due diligence – we think right at the point where you engage your client. Time is money and performing due diligence at the point of engagement ensures you identify the issues from day one – and hey, it may be that something turns up on your searches that the client can resolve. Now you can bring it to their attention and they have enough time to resolve it. Also, if the deal is not going to close because of the information you discover, then at least you find that out before you have started financially investing in a listing or helping a buyer find a home.
Don't let a deal go astray – stop problems before they become issues. Use GeoWarehouse to conduct due diligence. Check out www.geowarehouse.ca.
When representing a client, whether it is a buyer or a seller, the more information you have about a property and its owners, the better. Most real estate sales professionals will turn to a search in GeoWarehouse to get the information they need quickly. A property ownership search can be performed in GeoWarehouse by leveraging different reports and searches to obtain the information that you need.
When requesting a Property Details Report in GeoWarehouse, you will get access to not only the sales on the subject property, but also the property's PIN (Property Identification Number). Say you want to know how much the subject property is encumbered for, what current owners paid for the home, when they purchased it, etc. Armed with the property address and PIN, you can request a Parcel Register in the GeoWarehouse Store and instantly identify who is on title to the property, the type of ownership, when they purchased the property, what they paid for it and any mortgages or liens registered.
This can make you more efficient in so many ways:
Validating property ownership can play a key role in any real estate transaction, and having this information will lead to increased efficiency and a smoother closing.
We want to hear from you. Have you ever had a deal go south on closing because of title related issues?
If you would like more information about GeoWarehouse, please visit www.geowarehouse.ca or call 1-866-237-5937.

When we went to Taylor Bay a few years ago, it was the highlight of a wonderful trip to Turks and Caicos. This year, however, everything suggested that the beach is now private and that fines will be issued to visitors. We were bummed, but didn't think it was worth the risk. We tried Sapodilla Bay instead and then went to Chalk Sound. Both are very beautiful, but Sapodilla Bay is much more of a tourist spot with rentals for chairs and umbrellas and even jet skis.
The water is shallow and clear. My wife and I took a dip and then just spent the rest of the time reading a book on the beach. They were not many people around and it was just beautiful!
We own the house right next to the path that leads to Taylor Bay. It was very disappointing to see this development go up. We have had to pay quite a bit of money to have an access to it but it does make our house more rentable. We saw the same thing happened at sapodilla bay. I guess that's progress. It has cut down on traffic and parking on Ocean Point though.
We visited Taylor Bay during our stay the week of 8/30. We were on our way to
Sapodilla Bay and I asked my husband to take a look at the locked gate situation at Taylor Bay instead. We found that the fence next to the gate was rolled up so people could get through. My husband was nervous about going through but we parked and walked down with my 3 kids. I had been to TCI last year but did not visit this beach. We loved it. No one bothered us and we had it virtually to ourselves. My 3 kids loved the fact that they could walk forever and it wasn't over their heads. The water is the perfect temperature and color and the houses are beautiful to look at. There is a large tree midway down where you could sit for some shade. We didn't walk that far down and someone was already there but it would have been a perfect spot. On our way out, a cab driver had just dropped someone off. He stopped to talk to us and apologized for the gate. He thanked us for coming to visit the island and said they love tourists. He explained to my husband about who put the gate up but said he shouldn't have. If you're nervous about going around the gate - don't be! Go through and enjoy yourself!

Guild Wars 2 | Returning from the Mists: The Revenant
"Channel legendary powers to slaughter foes and unleash chaos on the battlefield". This is how the new profession in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns, the Revenant, is described. Still none the wiser? Read on.
This is the first time Guild Wars 2 has added a new profession (please note in GW2 classes are called professions in order to leave those who play more than one game utterly confused). The first seeds of this were sown well before the expansion announcement. In Season 2, Rytlock Brimstone, Blood Legion Tribune of the Charr and member of the band of heroes, Destiny's Edge, take the first steps towards becoming a Revenant.
Once upon a time in the Living Story ...
Long ago, the Charr invaded the human lands of Ascalon. They destroyed humanity until, faced with imminent defeat, King Adelbern turned to sorcery. He found a way to destroy the Charr invading his city, but at a terrible price. Every human for miles around died to feed the spell. And then, tied to the land, they became ghosts. Ascalon was now in the hands of the Charr, but the humans remained to haunt them.
Rytlock sought to free the ghosts from what was known as the Foefire spell, for their sake as well as that of the Charr. With the sword Sohothin and the fragments of the crown of King Adelbern, Rytlock made his way into Barradin's Vaults to attempt a ritual. The ritual failed and the sword was swallowed by the mists. Rytlock, knowing the sword is his only hope of ever breaking the spell, jumped into the mists after it.
And that is as far as anyone is going to get before the expansion, Heart of Thorns, arrives with the end of Rytlock's tale and the new class.
What exactly did he find in the mists?
A Revenant is actually a thing outside of Guild Wars 2. By actually, I mean its a part of British folklore. So actually is actually mythically. According to the source of all knowledge, Wikipedia, a revenant is "a visible ghost or animated corpse that was believed to return from the grave to terrify the living".
In Guild Wars 2, you will have seen reference to the Mists. Its where the structured PvP lives, for example, and Fractals. Technically, however, its the space between worlds or realities where the laws of those places do not exist. It is from this that Rytlock will return. A Revenant, it seems, will be someone who returns from the Mists. What isn't clear is where the other Revenants come from. I guess they go wandering in to the Mists to find their powers - a kind of rite of passage (or they're all completely mad).
The technical bit
The Revenant will be able to use the following weapons:
- Mace (main-hand)
- Axe (off-hand)
- Sword (both)
- Hammer
- Staff
- Shield (Elite only)
So far, so normal. Oh and the hammer is ranged. And the staff, its melee. Just for variety.
Added to this will be the 'legends' that the class can draw on. These are heroes from the past who will bring particular powers to the Revenant. The weapon and legend choices are separate and affect different abilities. They are:
Dwarf Stance
(King Jalis Ironhammer)
This is the tanky legend. Live long and protect your friends. And solo things very slowly.
Demon Stance
(Mallyx the Unyielding)
If you prefer to be evil in your MMOs but aren't keen on Necromancer, then this is for you. Lots of damage over time.
Assassin Stance
(Shiro Tagachi)
When is a Thief not a Thief? When its a Revenant in Assassin stance. Think ninja.
Centuar Stance
You get to heal some, shield some and ... run really fast?
Dragon Stance
This is the Herald Elite stance. It has a shield and so is quite defensive. Its focused on boons. So you make everyone else better. Expect this to be in demand in raiding.
Apart from this the only difference is in the resource. The Revenant uses an Energy bar that starts in the middle. You generate more energy over time, but use it up with abilities. This means you will need to balance your ability usage over time, or use abilities in short bursts. The latter could be useful in Guild Wars 2. Combat tends to be highly mobile and so being able to hit hard in the brief periods between movement and then generate energy as you get out of the bad could be very useful.
Revenants also get a blindfold. Because it looks cool. Theres some explanation about focus, but really it just looks cool.
What the revenant brings to the table
The Revenant is definitely distinct from the existing classes. All the classes have a wide range of ways you can play them. The different with the Revenant is that this isn't tied to weapon choice, but to legend choice. This isn't much of a difference, but for less knowledgable players it could be a key feature that draws them to the class. If you want to be tanky, you choose Dwarf stance. You don't have to know which weapon has abilities that turn out to be tanky in the right combinations. You don't have to go and find another cool weapon to chance your role. Thats something that no other class offers.
Other than this, it has a new resource system and is visually quite different. It fits into the existing profession grouping without seeming like it will push anyone out. If anything, the only thing that might draw players away from other professions is that the Revenant is flashy. Lots of abilities have very pretty effects. Where a Mesmer might have a circle or dome that glimmers, the Revenant's has Ventari's symbol in the middle, for example. If this becomes an issue, ArenaNet can rectify it, however. And if your system struggles you might not want that amount of flashyness.

The Nats Pitching Staff Less Strasburg: Still Pretty Good, Bridge Jumpers
For starters, I don't think Stephen A. nor his sidedick Skip Bayless, could name two other starters in the Nats rotation. Their puppeteer act of creating fake arguments is laughable at best, and it's the most scripted and non-genuine piece of television on the Mother Ship, next to Chris Berman's annual "Back-back-back-back-back!" charade during Major League Baseball's Home Run Derby. (Filed under ESPN sucks)
So in an attempt to keep it real, YO... I'd like to show you what the Nats rotation looks like without Strasburg in it, relative to the National League teams they (as of 8/14/2012) could possibly face in the post season. (These are the top 3 pitchers on their respective teams, relative to ERA and innings pitched)
Nats (NL East Leaders)
Zimmerman 2.35
Detweiler 3.18
Gonzalez 3.29
Reds (NL Central Leaders)
Cueto 2.45
Latos 3.81
Arroyo 3.95
Giants (NL West Leaders- tied w/ Dodgers)
Vogelsong 2.72
Cain 2.99
Bumgarner 3.08
Dodgers (NL West Leaders-tied w/ Giants)
Kershaw 2.88
Capuano 3.11
Harang 3.76
Braves (NL 1st Wildcard)
Hudson 3.77
Hanson 4.29
Minor 4.93
Pirates (NL 2nd Wildcard)
Burnett 3.32
McDonald 3.77
Correia 4.49
In summary, the Nats top 3 pitchers, less Stephen Strasburg, are still better or as good as the other NL teams they most likely will face come October. Technically, they are .01 percentage points behind the Giants. However, the Nats have beat the G-men all 4 times they've played this year, including the 14-2 boat race last night on the Left coast.
These numbers are a testament to the job Mike Rizzo and the entire Nationals organization has done building depth with their arms. And these numbers should also serve notice to ESPN and other novices, that there is more to the Nats rotation than Stephen Strasburg. And come September when Rizzo gives him the hook, the Nats aren't just going to roll over an die.

My Loves:
I'm going to say something really simple, and you might see it and say, "Well, I already KNOW that." And I want you to REALLY receive this message, anyway.
There is nothing wrong with you.
Nothing to fix.
Nothing to change.
You have everything you need to have all that you want.
You were born with the perfect balance of strengths and weaknesses to offer up the unique gift of YOU to the world.
You started making a precious difference in the world the moment you were born.
And if you're struggling to see that, if the voice in your head stills wants to fix you or make you wrong for this thing or that, here's the good news:
That's just false gunk that has gotten in the way of your seeing your wholeness, and that gunk can be cleared away.
We as human beings have this tremendous capacity to transform, to come back to the truth of who we are, to come home to knowing ourselves as magnificent and worth cherishing.
If you've got stuff in the way that's keeping you from embodying the knowing that there is truly nothing wrong, (you're so not alone), send me a message and we'll open up a conversation to connect you with the beauty of who you really are. Xo

The launch of her new book takes place in the conference room at the Art Gallery of Swift Current on Oct. 1, starting at 7 p.m.
The publication is a collection of memories from her journey through life that illustrates her versatility as an artist. It contains samples of her poetry and paintings as well as some photographs of family members.
"It's just thoughts of one life, and it also hopefully will inspire people to do their own family history," she said.
She decided to create a publication that she can share and pass along to family and friends.
"This I wanted to do because I now have great grandchildren and I'm not young anymore," she said. "So you think 'I'll do it while I can', because I've got energy."
She is a long-time member of the Prairie Quills Writer's Group. She schedules and takes part in member readings at senior residential complexes and at the Canadian Mental Health drop-in centre, where she will urge people to do their own writing.
"I try and share with the people that we read to and encourage them to write their own family history for their own family, because the way people lived actually is real history, not necessary dates and what happened when some law was repealed," she said.
She has been living in Swift Current since 1963, but grew up in England. She recalls living in a house that was built about 500 years ago when Henry VIII was still the English king.
"You stood at the sink and you know somebody did dishes when Henry VIII was on the throne, and I'm standing in the same place," she said. "So that's real history. It's how people lived and events of course coloured that, but nowadays, with so many other ways of communicating, I wouldn't want that to get lost, the family history."
Her own publication is therefore an attempt to preserve her memories. Her poems deal with a variety of subjects. There are poems about family members, the different seasons, Saskatchewan and places around the world she has visited. She received her training as a nurse in London and worked in England and Burma before she came to Canada in 1955.
Her poem The unexpected caregiver is about one of her patients when she was a nurse in England.
"He was a little boy that, when I first started nursing in London, was so helpful because he knew the routine," she recalled. "The fresh new nurse was nervous. He told me lots, more than the nursing charge told me."
Another poem was inspired by her brief encounter with a little boy in an art gallery in London, where she bought a postcard with an image of the painting Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane by the Spanish Renaissance painter El Greco.
"He was there and he asked for the same post card as I did, and I often wondered why," she said. "It was kind of interesting. He wanted Agony in the Garden and I don't know why. So I wrote about him."
She feels poetry is a reflection of personal experiences or observations of a poet, but a poem can be of wider interest to a reader.
"The poems are maybe universal, but it's how I felt about things," she said. "Any poem you read is personal really. It's your view of things, how you express it. It's different from just writing a story, which might be fiction."
There are prints of many of her watercolour paintings in the book, reflecting scenes from places she has visited in Canada and elsewhere, as well as her interest in gardening. There are also pen drawings of buildings and other landmarks in Swift Current.
She will donate all proceeds from the sale of the book to the Southwest Newcomer Welcome Centre in Swift Current.
"I'm donating the money to the Welcome Centre because I'm an immigrant," she explained.
She has been an active member of the community in Swift Current. She was a founding member of the Friends of the Walkway and her many volunteer activities were recognized earlier this year when she received the 2015 Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal.
"I love Canada," she said. "I've been here longer than I was ever in England to live."
She has previously self-published two other books. War Games is about her memories as a child growing up in England during the Second World War. Two Peas in a Pod is a children's book that promotes a healthy self-image and diet. She has also contributed poems and short stories to six anthologies published by the Prairie Quills Writer's Group.
She is planning to do some more research about her family history and she has written a few stories about nursing, but those are unpublished.
"I've only written a few, but I might write some more one day," she said.
Loran's paintings have been on show in the Art Gallery of Swift Current in the past. Some of her paintings will be on display in the conference room for the launch of her new book.
She will do a reading from the book and there will be refreshments.

Therme Vals
One of the most wonderful experiences I've enjoyed has been to visit the spa at Thereme Vals.
Vals is a little town in the canton Graubünden of Switzerland. More notorious locations of Graubünden would be StMoritz, Davos, Flims and Klosters. Vals instead is a pleasant little secret hidden at the end of a valley, reached through narrow roads winding their way up a steep alpine vista. It is the location of a thermal mineral water spring which is enjoyed around Switzerland in the form of bottled mineral water called 'Valser' but can be enjoyed much more in the form of a spa in an insiring building by architect Peter Zumthor.

What can economics offer emergency services?
A better understanding of the economic costs of disasters and their risks, and the risk-reducing benefits of mitigation, can build a more compelling case that improves the likelihood of mitigation options being resourced and implemented. The Economics and strategic decisions cluster is focusing on developing the tools required to undertake sound analysis of the costs and benefits of different disaster risk reduction strategies.
This cluster has four linked studies:
- Decision support system for assessment of policy and planning investment options
- Economics of natural hazards
- Mapping and understanding bushfire and natural hazard vulnerability and risks at the institutional scale
- Pre-disaster multi-hazard damage and economic loss estimation model
In the two short videos below, Prof Holger Maier (University of Adelaide) and end-user Ed Pikusa (Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources SA) outline the aim of the cluster, while Prof Mehmet Ulubasoglu (Deakin University) explains a case study on the economic impacts of the 2010-2011 Queensland floods.

Postmodern Film and Fiction
Journal of theory review
Summary of Norman Denzin's "Defining the Postmodern Terrain"
Norman Denzin's "Defining the Postmodern Terrain" presents a systematical introduction to postmodernism and the postmodern self from three perspectives; class, gender and race. Denzin emphasizes on the interaction of these three categories that bring to postmodern culture and postmodern self. There are three major questions contributing to Denzin's argument: The first is the polyphony in academic terrain, because there are various new theories with post ~ism to articulate different voices from different class, race, gender, etc.. How do they locate themselves in the postmodern world? The second is that the vague boundary between image and reality puzzles people in the postmodern world. It is difficult for postmodern self to link the present to the history. Third is that how can an individual present his/ her race, gender and class interacting with self identity? And how these postmodern self represented in the dominant power of mass media, such as Hollywood film?
Firstly, Denzin presents the definitions of postmodernism from four aspects: (1) postmodern art; (2) a new theory in contemporary world; (3) lived experiences after World War II; (4) social, cultural, and economic life after late capitalism. (3) Then he points out the threat to the ideology-"cultural eclecticism" (5), which is the characteristic of postmodern life. It allows the variety and plurality presented in each field, breaking the monolithic belief in the past. The use of pastiche and collage exactly present the spirit of eclecticism and pluralism. There is also romantic nostalgia for the order, stability, harmony and peace in the traditional society.
In addition to postmodern eclecticism, mass media is an important apparatus to present and prevail ideology and to represent visual images which become the "hyperreal sign" according to Baudrillard's opinion. Individuals become "cultural object" (8) and "new vehicles for the production and reproduction of social ideology" (8). In other words, individual becomes a disseminator of dominant ideology by the information from the mass media. On the other hand, postmodern self becomes a "restless voyeur" (9) who is involved in the visual impact and pleasure, the spectacle of pornography, beauty, youth. As for the intellects in the postmodern society, they still desire to control everything, such as popular culture and images. So there is a stream of "anti-aesthetic, anti-situation, anti-intellectual impulse" (10) in the postmodern production. It aims to vacillate the center and to demonstrate the possibilities and varieties.
In terms of cinematic formation, besides the use of pastiche and collage, film producers also use the technique of parody. Some films are self-reflexive, for instance, Robert Altman's The Player parodies the production of Hollywood film. Both Ridley Scott's Blade Runner and David Lynch's Blue Velvet convey nostalgia and mixture of pastiche and parody. The visual impact and voyeuristic pleasure also stimulate postmodern self's ocular and sensual experience. As Baudrillard mentioned, "watching themselves watching the performance on stage, the audience engages in an ecstasy of simulated communication, which transforms the real into its simulated image" (11). That is to say, the viewer mesmerizes into the content of the film and has fraudulent 'real experience' through spectacles.
Lastly Denzin emphasizes on feminist in postmodern realm. Denzins thinks that within the theories of three masters of postmodernism, Baudrillard, Jameson, and Lyotard, exclude feminist theory. Connor indicates that woman's silence is labeled to be 'other' in patriarchal ideology. Owen pinpoints that postmodern theory 'scandalously' nonchalant to women's position and right. Kristeva tries to subvert the cause of woman's peripheral position. Denzin points out that postmodernism and feminism share some similarities in their assertion. They both attempt to "avoid essentialist, functional categories and dichotomies" (17). That is to say, postmodernism and feminism deny to be put in any specific traditional category. They both allow a state of uncertainty, instability and fluidity in order to have multiple voices. To narrow down the discussion, sexual multiplicity also has to be studied, either the dominant/ majority or the marginal/ minor group. Postmodernism and feminism are circulated in "the production, distribution and consumption" (18). The visual impression of over-productions of erotic and violent gendered relationship makes it difficult to eliminate sexual inequality because there are more messages of patriarchal ideology than woman's emancipation transmitted from the mediums.
To sum up, Denzin suggests the crisis of postmodern self in this information-swelled society. "When the picture becomes the reality, and when that reality is ideologically coded, then the essential humanity of human beings is reduced to a code. That code strips each of us of our dignity and pride. It reduces us, in the end, to signs which bear the traces of racism and sexism" (18). The passage illustrates the uncertain and unstable state in the postmodern terrain that postmodern self has no centered principles to follow. The obstacle of postmodern individual is that one has to choose the signs and codes and to represent himself/ herself based on his/ her gender, race and class weaving with self-identity in the postmodern world.

At LDA/Silver Lake Workshops, we employ diverse techniques to achieve
the results you want – including appearance, price, and quantity. Each
decorating technique has possible advantages and disadvantages, depending
on the goal you want to achieve. Most companies focus on one technique
and fail to explain them; we offer them all and are happy to share the
information you need to make an informed decision. As you study our products,
you will find these techniques discussed.
(1) Effects of dishwashers vary somewhat with water temperature and detergent
used. It is preferable to use non-lemon detergents.
(2) When machine-washing textiles, use cold water, no bleach, and dry
with cool cycles.
Deciding what will be pictured on your ornament is the biggest decision
you'll make in this project. You want it to be significant, perhaps historical,
recognizable and of course, pretty. Making a good choice will bring you
oohs, ahhs, positive PR and, most importantly, sales. But where do you
start? What works? What sells? The good news is that you probably have
many choices in your region.
Every community has its own history and flavor. The closer you can get
to the heart of what makes your area unique, the more connected the residents
will feel to this local ornament. Start by asking these questions:
You local historical society is a wonderful place to find answers to
these questions. Or, you might begin at your local library, chamber of
commerce or visitors bureau.. Many communities (even small ones) have
books or booklets that record significant landmarks. It needn't be a recent
publication, either. A book published fifty or seventy-five years ago
will give you a great perspective on which landmarks have remained important
to the community.
Once you've identified a few areas of interest, it's time to focus on
visual elements. Buildings are by far the most choice popular for several
reasons: People in your town are familiar with them ("oh, isn't that on
Main Street?"). They have likely been around for awhile and come with
their own ties to people, industry and community. They also can be represented
clearly in a drawing for recognition. (some examples that usually are
not easily recognizable: animals, people, abstract scuplture.) Some tried
and true favorites include your local courthouse, train stations, churches,
lighthouses, and old school houses. 'The older, the better' is often true
in this case. In fact, many ornaments have been done to commemorate buildings
that no longer stand. It's a great way to memorialize recently razed buildings.
Some wonderfully creative and successful alternatives have included an
iris garden, a crew team, mountain ranges with distinquishable peaks,
bridges, modes of transportation (trolley, train, boat, etc.) and architectural
details (an elaborate window).
If you are considering a series of ornaments, you might pick a repeating
element. For example, a store in Butte, Montana features a different ore
mine each year. The Baltimore Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary pictures
a different Chesapeake Bay lighthouse. Many communties celebrate one church
every year, and the Sons of the American Revolution choose a founding
father for each edition.
By now, you've found some great motifs with ties to the heart of your
hometown. It's time to gather up postcards, photocopies, brochures, sketches
or photos and send them to us. (these don't need to be perfect - some
snap shots will do nicely) We'll turn your research into a beautiful keepsake
that will treasured for years to come!
We respect your privacy and hope that you find our privacy
policy refreshingly simple.

The American people, and the markets, are much smarter than the politicians.
Consider that distasteful spectacle a few days ago, in which politicians drove the nation to the edge of a cliff, threatening to send the country into default. When they raised the debt ceiling at the last minute, the markets were supposed to breathe a sigh of relief. Instead, stock prices — and with them the savings of rich and poor alike — have gone into a tailspin. Next comes the rest of the economy.
It may sound confusing, but it's actually very simple. Politicians have decided to pull the rug out from under the economy when it had barely stood up after getting beaten to the ground. The single-minded effort to cut the budget deficit at this moment will send us back into recession.
We know exactly what's going on, because it happened in 1937.
We are preparing for the 75th anniversary of the Great Depression's double dip by concocting a second wave of the Great Recession.
I'm not arguing the deficits and the mammoth national debt don't matter. They matter, and they must be cut. But doing it now will cause the economy to contract so much that it will make the deficit, among other important things, much worse.
In 1937, the economy was getting on its feet after the calamity of the Depression. Unemployment had dropped to a still-awful 14 percent, down from the devastating 25 percent of the early 1930s. But President Roosevelt's policies had cost a bundle and opened a big budget deficit. FDR agreed to slash spending by a hefty 10 percent even while the Fed cut back on lending.
The stock market collapsed, unemployment soared and the economy slipped back into recession. In a few months, the Dow Jones plunged from 187 to 98, a loss of 48 percent. Unemployment climbed to 19 percent.
Real growth in employment, stock prices and industrial production returned only when the government launched the massive spending — and deficits — required to win World War II.
Certainly, America will need to make the painful decision required to nurse its fiscal wounds to health. In the long run, the deficits are clearly not sustainable. But, as FDR's closest aide Harry Hopkins famously said, "People don't eat in the long run; they eat every day." And today's approach will create not only more suffering but also less prosperity. In order to grow, the economy needs people who eat, people who work, people who produce and pay taxes.
Today, the debate about economic policy has fallen victim to a dysfunctional political culture. The dominant voice in the debate comes from people who have fallen in love with a dogma that says the deficit is the most urgent problem we face, and declares we cannot raise one more penny in taxes to close it. On the other side stands a president who has proven a stunningly inept negotiator. Squeezed in the middle are millions of unemployed Americans, hundreds of millions of stock holders, and billions of people the world over, flabbergasted as they watch America make a difficult situation worse.
Cutting now will not just hurt the unemployed and the poor. A return or continuation of the recession will cost businesses — owned by Republicans and Democrats — billions in profits.
There is a solution. First, the U.S. economy needs to get moving. One element of that is to unclog the housing market, which is causing nationwide sluggishness. People who can't sell their homes because they owe more than they're worth are people who can't go where the jobs are. A plan to cut mortgage balances by giving banks a path to recover their losses in the future is very promising.
Then, America's feckless leaders, if they were up to the task, should sit down immediately around a table, with copies of the deficit reduction plan put together by the Simpson-Bowles commission as a starting point. It is possible to tackle the deficit. Political differences include valid opinions that deserve to be fought out without threats and without taking the entire economy to the brink of disaster.
The discussions can and should produce a serious deficit reduction plan that everyone will understand, providing clarity to businesses and investors. But one that will go into effect only after the economy has recovered.
The American people's disenchantment with politicians and the markets' steep slide tell us the politicians are getting it wrong. If only Washington would listen.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration on Tuesday warned lawmakers that requiring enforceable currency provisions in trade deals could sink talks for a major Pacific trade pact.
In a letter to lawmakers, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said the administration supported a currency objective in a proposed bill to streamline the passage of trade deals, but that potential trade partners have made clear enforceable currency provisions would not be accepted.
"Our partners fear that a trade agreement with an enforceable currency discipline could constrain the ability of their monetary authorities to conduct appropriate macroeconomic policies, and that is a risk they are unwilling to take," Lew said in the letter made public by the Treasury.

Chargers comeback attempt stopped short
The once growing lead had slowed to a trickle, and AC/GC suddenly had life again.
A tireless effort throughout the third quarter gave renewed hope to the young Charger squad on Monday night, February 13, against South Central Calhoun. But, almost as soon as that hope appeared, it was taken away.
The Titans held off the Chargers 57-43, ending the inaugural season for the Chargers in an almost cruel fashion.
"We knew that South Central Calhoun was a solid team, but we felt like we would be able to compete if we could put a complete game together," AC/GC head coach Jake Mohling said. "To me, that's been our problem, is we can't go a full four quarters with solid defense, ball control, and scoring. There are games we can take care of the ball, but the scoring isn't there. Games we can take care of the ball and score, but the defense isn't there. I felt like we played defense well enough and took care of the ball relatively well since we only had 15 turnovers, but we didn't have the balanced scoring we needed."
Throughout the third quarter the Chargers were able to chip away at a once 15-point lead that the Titans had put up at halftime.
The comeback started late in the second quarter when freshman Bryce Littler had been able to find his long-range shots, draining three three-pointers back-to-back.
The Chargers used halftime to regroup and recharge. They came out of the break with a renewed defensive effort that shut down the passing lanes of South Central Calhoun. The only problem for the Chargers was, their early third quarter shots, didn't want to bathe in the white nylon. Three point attempts by juniors Quenton Spack and Wardyn skipped off the rim, and away from Charger players.
Despite being at a height disadvantage to the Titans, and having to play catch-up, the Chargers weren't afraid to challenge South Central Calhoun inside the paint. Not being able to win the battle inside the key, the Titans dished the ball outside, where their shots, fell short, into AC/GC's hands.
Senior Colton Sargent helped the Chargers get their third quarter run started with an early three-pointer. Freshman Quynton Younker added another three-pointer late, and an inside shot by Littler had slimmed the Titans' lead down to a mere nine points.
The fiesty Chargers defense forced another turnover, but couldn't convert on the breakaway shot.
Then came the timeout.
South Central Calhoun's coaching staff could see the change of momentum. Although it was reactionary, the Titans knew they'd have to make a change if they wanted to hold onto their lead.
The time out would spell doom for the Chargers players.
South Central Calhoun emerged from the timeout with a renewed effort on defense. After a quick shot, the Titans let the Chargers bring the ball across halfcourt, and then swarmed on them. Overwhelmed by the new defensive pressure, the Chargers lost control of the ball on back-to-back possessions.
The third quarter ended with South Central Calhoun leading 44-35.
Throughout the fourth quarter, South Central Calhoun continued to add to their lead as the shots of AC/GC continued to shy away from the net. Players who had been on shooting streaks were left out in the cold throughout the fourth quarter. An early bucket by Wardyn stood as the only shot that AC/GC had for more than four minutes in the final quarter.
As the Titan lead grew, the hopes of extending the season dimmed for the Chargers. A pair of late threes by sophomores Noah Nelsen and Avery Wheatley helped the Chargers slow the bleeding, but the wound had already done its damage. The Titans held on to the 14-point victory to extend their season another day.
For the Chargers, they end the season with an overall record of 3-20.
"I can't fault our boys for their effort, they responded to South Central's runs every time," Mohling said. "We got within single digits in the second half and made a nice run winning the third quarter, but when we were within striking distance we had a slew of turnovers. You just can't do that when you're trying to beat a better team. The final game of the year is always a tough one, only one team in the state gets to go out with a win, but our boys fought hard and I'm so proud of them."

There are many aspects to success; material wealth is only one component. Moreover, success is a journey, not a destination. Material abundance, in all its expressions, happens to be one of those things that makes the journey more enjoyable. But success also includes good health, energy and enthusiasm for life, fulfilling relationships, creative freedom, emotional and psychological stability, a sense of well-being and peace of mind. Even with the experience of all these things, we will remain unfulfilled unless we nurture the seeds of divinity inside us. In reality, we are divinity in disguise, and the gods and goddesses in embryo that are contained within us seek to be fully materialized. Although I call the laws I'm about to discuss The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, they could easily be called The Seven Spiritual Laws of Life. This is because they are the same principles that nature uses to create everything in material existence–everything we can see, hear, smell, taste or touch.
Success in life could be defined as the continued expansion of happiness and the progressive realization of worthy goals. Success is the ability to fulfill your desires with effortless ease. And yet success, including the creation of wealth, has always been considered a process that requires hard work, and it is often considered to be at the expense of others. We need a more spiritual approach to success and to affluence, which is the abundant flow of all good things to you. With the knowledge and practice of spiritual law, we put ourselves in harmony with nature and create with carefreeness, joy and love. True success is the experience of the miraculous. It is the unfolding of the divinity within us. It is the perception of divinity wherever we go, in whatever we perceive–in the eyes of a child, in the beauty of a flower, in the flight of a bird. When we begin to experience our life as the miraculous expression of divinity–not occasionally, but all the time–then we will know the true meaning of success.
Now let's go over The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success and see how we can apply them in our lives.
1) The Law of Pure Potentiality
This law is based on the fact that we are, in our essential state, pure consciousness. Pure consciousness is pure potentiality; it is the field of all possibilities and infinite creativity. When you discover your essential nature and know who you really are, in that knowing itself is the ability to fulfill any dream you have, because you are the eternal possibility, the immeasurable potential of all that was, is and will be. This law could also be called the Law of Unity, because underlying the infinite diversity of life is the unity of one all-pervasive spirit. There is no separation between you and this field of energy. One way to access the field is through the daily practice of silence, meditation and non-judgment. Spending time in nature will also give you access to the qualities inherent in the field: infinite creativity, freedom and bliss.
2) The Law of Giving
This law could also be called the Law of Giving and Receiving, because the universe operates through dynamic exchange. The flow of life is nothing other than the harmonious interaction of all the elements and forces that structure the field of existence. Because your body and your mind and the universe are in constant and dynamic change, stopping the circulation of energy is like stopping the flow of blood. Whenever blood stops flowing, it begins to clot, to stagnate. That is why you must give and receive in order to keep wealth and affluence–or anything you want–circulating in your life. If our only intention is to hold on to our money and hoard it–since it's life energy, we will stop its circulation back into our lives as well. In order to keep that energy coming to us, we have to keep the energy circulating. Thus, the more you give, the more you will receive. The best way to put The Law of Giving into operation is to make a decision that any time you come into contact with anyone, you will give them something. It doesn't have to be in the form of material things; it could be a flower, a compliment or a prayer. In fact, the most powerful forms of giving are non-material. The gifts of caring, attention, affection, appreciation and love are some of the most precious gifts you can give, and they don't cost you anything.
3) The Law of Karma (or Cause and Effect)
"Karma" is both action and the consequence of that action; it is cause and effect simultaneously, because every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in kind. There is nothing unfamiliar about the Law of Karma. Everyone had heard the expression, "What you sow is what you reap." Obviously, if we want to create happiness in our lives, we must learn to sow the seeds of happiness. Therefore, karma implies the action of conscious choice-making. Whether you like it or not, everything that is happening at this moment is a result of the choices you've made in the past. Unfortunately, a lot of us make choices unconsciously, and therefore we don't think they are choices–and yet, they are. If you step back for a moment and witness the choices you are making as you make those choices, then in just this act of witnessing, you take the whole process from the unconscious realm into the conscious realm. This procedure of conscious choice-making and witnessing is very empowering.You can use the Law of Karma to create money and affluence, and the flow of all good things to you, any time you want. But first, you must become consciously aware that your future is generated by the choices you are making in every moment of your life. If you do this on a regular basis, then you are making full use of this law. The more you bring your choices into the level of your conscious awareness, the more you will make those choices which are spontaneously correct–both for you and those around you.
4) The Law of Least Effort
This law is based on the fact that nature's intelligence functions with effortless ease and abandoned carefreeness. This is the principle of least action, of no resistance. This is, therefore, the principle of harmony and love. When we learn this lesson from nature, we easily fulfill our desires. In Vedic Science, the age-old philosophy of India, this principle is known as the principle of economy of effort, or "do less and accomplish more." Ultimately, you come to the state where you do nothing and accomplish everything. This means that there is just a faint idea, and then the manifestation of the idea comes about effortlessly. What is commonly called a "miracle" is actually an expression of the Law of Least Effort. Least effort is expended when your actions are motivated by love, because nature is held together by the energy of love. When you seek power and control over other people, you waste energy. When you seek money or power for the sake of the ego, you spend energy chasing the illusion of happiness instead of enjoying happiness in the moment. When your actions are motivated by love, your energy multiplies and accumulates–and the surplus energy you gather and enjoy can be channeled to create anything that you want, including unlimited wealth. There are three components to the Law of Least Effort–three things you can do to put this principle of "do less and accomplish more" into action. The first component is acceptance. Acceptance simply means that you make a commitment: "Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances and events as they occur." This means I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. The second component is responsibility. This means not blaming anyone or anything for your situation, including yourself. This allows you the ability to have a creative response to the situation as it is now. All problems contain the seeds of opportunity, and this awareness allows you to take the moment and transform it to a better situation or thing. The third component to the Law of Least Effort is defenselessness. This means that you have relinquished the need to convince or persuade others of your point of view. If you relinquish this need you will in that relinquishment gain access to enormous amounts of energy that have been previously wasted.

Welcome to Y1 1718!
Our teacher is Miss Baldwin, supported by Mrs Kerr in a morning and Mrs Howes in the afternoon. We are also lucky to have Mrs Snowdon, who is a volunteer two days a week.
In order for Y1 to settle quickly into their new classroom we aim to provide a bridge between the style of learning, organisation and layout of EYFS classroom. Our children will feel secure and aware in their new classroom in order for their best learning to happen.
At the beginning of the school year the classroom layout will reflect the learning from EYFS with provision based learning inside and outside, with a gradual move throughout the year to more formal learning.
Each day we will have structured sessions to develop their skills following the National Curriculum. In Y1 we also work on encouraging our children to develop their independent skills.
Reading has an especially strong focus in Y1 and it is expected that children continue to practice their reading and listening skills at home. Reading books will be changed on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday, for those children who have finished their reading books (this will need to be recorded by an adult in their learning journal). There is an opportunity for keen readers to take home two books. In June 2017 all Y1 Pupils will take part in National Phonics Screening.
Please ensure that a named water bottle is brought in daily and taken home daily and ensure that your child has a full labelled P.E. kit (both indoor and outdoor) in school at all times.
Kindest regards
Miss Baldwin
