The Jerusalem Post reports: Lawmakers and an IDF representative accused journalists of orchestrating events to make Israel look bad, during a Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee discussion Tuesday of violent incidents between security forces and the press.
"With all the importance of the press in a democratic country," MK Moti Yogev (Bayit Yehudi) began, "we cannot get confused and must always give priority to the IDF's operational freedom of action, because they are acting to save lives."
Yogev accused the press of behaving like an "imbalanced theater."
MK Yisrael Eichler (UTJ) compared the press to a car, saying that in some cases it is helpful and brings progress, and in other cases it can be destructive.

China Rallies Around Yuan as IMF Mulls Reserve-Currency Inclusion
The release of a report on renminbi internationalization comes as members of the IMF are on a visit to China
BEIJING—China's central bank is preparing to take new steps to lift the global profile of the yuan as the International Monetary Fund reviews whether to grant it elite status as a reserve currency.
In a report issued late last week, the People's Bank of China detailed moves it will take to encourage the IMF to take that step, putting the currency on a par with the dollar, euro, yen and pound sterling. Reserve status could potentially encourage other central banks to increase their holdings of the currency....

I am half way through writing a romantic novel. I wrote this piece, a love letter from the main male character to his lover, and for one reason or another, I have referenced this several times recently in various conversations about masculine and feminine energies, and I just thought it was about time I posted it here.
These days, many people are too lost in looks, image and 'what can I get'. A loving relationship is about so much more, it's about 'what can I give of myself, who can I become, in the expression of my feelings, what do I have to share'.
The Love Letter
I ask nothing of you but love. I have no long list of conditions to be met, things that must be done, no list of changes I would make to you, no 'laundry list' of ways I'd like you to change, or things I'd like you to do. I don't want or need a 'little woman' to cook my meals or wash my clothes or clean my house. I do not need a domestic helper, I want a best friend. I don't need a cook, I want a soul mate. I don't need someone to clean my bathroom, I want someone to awaken my mind, stimulate my senses and engage with my passions. Life isn't about a big house or a fast car or a handful of possessions, life is about the people we share our time on this wonderful Earth with, life is about the connections we make, the love we share, the lives we touch and the people who touch us. Life isn't about a widescreen TV and a BMW, it's about who you remember fondly in the last hours of your fading life, it's about who you cried over losing, and who cried over losing you, it's about the hands you've held, the lives you touched, the souls you helped and the hope and smiles you gave.
I don't need someone to help with the bills, I want someone to share the laughter with. I don't need someone to do the shopping or carry the bags, I want someone to create memories with me, to share sunsets and beach walks, log fires and summer evening walks in meadows of wild flowers. I don't need someone useful to help me, I want someone passionate to adore me. I don't need someone rich to prop up my finances, I want someone interesting with an enquiring mind to enrich my knowledge and senses. I don't need some trophy to brighten up my arm when I'm out in public, I want someone kind who will nurture my loving heart in private at the end of the day, when I feel weak and tired. I don't need someone strong to always grin and bear it all, I want someone honest and loving, to connect with me and share the tears and tantrums of a life well lived. I don't need someone flighty who will only be there in the good times, I want a friend who will always be by my side, who will hold my hand for better, and for worse. I don't need someone to help me spend my money, I want someone who wants to help me spend my life.
I don't want to control you, I want to be so enraptured by your commanding beauty that I am forever putty in your hands. I don't want to enslave you, I want to empower you. I could think of nothing more incredible, no natural sight more beautiful, than a woman completely free, empowered in her femininity, alive with all that is vibrant, engaging, sensuous, loving and tender in a woman's character. I don't need or want a slave in a 'role' as my domestic servant. I don't need to know if my prospective wife is "any good at cooking", I don't care if you are "keen on cleaning"…screw that, I can clean my own toilet, I'm a good cook, I know how to iron a shirt and if I don't have time to do these things myself I will hire someone to help, so that we can spend our time together. I want a wife with a personality and a sense of adventure, someone to stimulate me, challenge my intellect and encourage me, help push me to my limits, to make the most of my life, to be the best man I can be. I want a life partner I can talk to, learn from, someone who will fly with me, test me, enrich and nourish my soul. I want to lose myself in your beauty, lose myself in your charms, be constantly amazed by your inspiring company and be constantly breathless at your beauty and passion. Life should not be about "who can I get, who can I own", it should be about "how can I share, how can I give, how can I help this person to be all she can truly be".
I don't need someone to model me to be their ideal, I don't need someone who wants to change me, mould me, beat me into submission. As I don't want to model, change, mould or beat you. I don't want to imprison you in my specific vision of who you should be, or how you should look, or what you should do or say, it will never be my intention to shape you to my idea or ideal, and the very notion of such behaviour utterly disgusts me. Quite the contrary, I want to set you free, I want to free you to be more of you, more of who you are, more of the real, authentic, natural you. I want to set you free. I want you to be alive, enriched, awake, not trapped under the monotonous social hypnosis of modern life. I don't want to see your stunning feminine beauty trapped, confined to a living stereotype, all your amazing potential paralysed in trying to conform to endless over-used social norms. I adore you for your individuality, your unique style, your free spirited sense of difference. I simply want to adore you for being you.
I don't want to control you, I want to connect with you.
When I look into your face, I don't think about wanting to touch your breasts, I want to touch your heart.
I don't want to own you, I want you to be your own woman.
When I look at your irresistible smile, I don't think about wanting to penetrate you between your thighs, I want to penetrate your soul.
Of course I want your desire, I want your lust, I want your passion, your touch, all your sensual feminine charms, of course I want all of you, but when we make love I want our deepest connection to be in our hearts and minds. I want your tender touch, your eyes, your lips, I want my mind to experience my orgasm before my body, I want to get lost in you, and I want you to feel utterly adored, appreciated in every way, safe, loved, free in your experience. I want you to know my world revolves around you and right there, right then, nothing else matters, there is no outside world, it's just us.
I want to look after you, help you grow, nurture you, protect you, free you from masculine responsibilities and allow you to blossom in your femininity. I want to be your rock, your pillar, your hero, your best friend, your soul mate and your lover. I will have eyes only for you, forever, and you will know, every day, that you are the centre of my world.
I don't need a little girl, I want a woman. A magnificent woman, fully feminine and in her beauty, is the most amazing creation on Earth. What more could any man ask for?
I ask nothing else of you, but love.

Classy, magnanimous, and unifying. He's off to a good start.
Donald Trump loves this country.
He will surround himself with patriots and the world is watching.
We having our first grandchild in March. Here's to our prayers being answered that our country is righting itself and getting back to what made us exceptional…good hearts and hard work.
Agree Keith.
And, Trump aside, Clinton could not even make the effort to thank all the people who stood by her. That's such a slap in the face.
Did he not thanks Pence?
Yes, at the end. They seem to understand one another and Pence does not seem to be a guy, easily wounded or offended if, in the moment, he is set aside — so many people who helped — to many people to thank.
I had not watched the speech. What a great speech. What a special man who truly loves this country.
And Reice Priebus (guess I will have to pay attention and learn it) — who knew?
Thanks Keith too, for your generosity in keeping WHD going.
For the first time in too many years, I am HOPEFUL! I thank God for hearing our prayers and giving our nation another chance!
Amen. Those words are being spoken so much right now and by so many, many thankful patriots. Thank God.

On Saturday, Girlguiding Midlands held their Megaday - 12,000 members of Girlguiding took over Drayton Manor Park. We went by coach with the Guide unit that meets in the same place as us, and another Brownie pack from nearby.
We were the first coach to arrive. (I confess that is because I booked it for the same time as the coach I booked for last year's Legoland trip. Drayton Manor is considerably nearer.) Still, that meant we were first in the loos for a toilet stop and then first in the queue for the Ben10 ride where one of our girls made her promise.
We took 17 girls (should have been 18 but we had a last minute unwell one) and we had a blast - lots of rides and even a special performance by one of our Brownies in the Guiding's Got Takent competition where she blew us all away singing a song from Matilda on the stage.
It rained a lot and was quite cold - we had to send one girl to First Aid with blue lips where she was warmed up and dried off. So we've learned a few things:
If we go to a theme park in November we will insist on waterproof trousers because those who chose to wear them might not have looked stylish but they had dry bottoms at the end of the day.
We also need to insist on a spare set of clothes inside a plastic bag for when backpacks leak.
And finally, we will add in the cost of a few pokes of chips - warming everyone up with some chips helped a lot!
The girls had a great time, behaved brilliantly and loved being part of such a big event.

Common Myths about Chiropractic Care
There are a number of myths commonly believed by the public at large when it comes to chiropractic care. These myths about chiropractic care are not only untrue, but may also discourage those who could benefit from chiropractic treatment the most from following through with a treatment regimen.
Self-Treatment Versus Professional Visits
A number of people believe that they can adjust their back or other joints in their body by themselves or enlist the help of a friend or loved one. Not only can this mentality cause little relief to the underlying problems, but it may also promote further injuries or long-term pain due to improper adjustment procedure.
Chiropractic is Only for the Treatment of Back Pain
Although most people tend to relate to back issues when mentioning chiropractic care, all joints in the body can benefit from the treatment. Fingers, wrists, ankles, elbows and knees are all involved in the practice of chiropractic. In fact, many patients who are commonly on their feet choose to follow through with a professional since improper alignment in this area can carry up the kinetic chain to cause further problems and may also lead to chronic headaches.
Eating Properly and Exercising Regularly Ensures Optimal Health without Chiropractic Care
Many people believe that if they eat healthy foods and exercise on a regular basis that optimal health is achievable. Although it may be true that these habits while drastically increase the quality of your health, a harmonic balance is essential for an optimized health portfolio. According to the Chiropractic for the World Foundation, "Proper balance, healthy spinal motion and a resulting healthy nervous system are all integral to health. Very often, the missing piece of the puzzle in the picture of health is a healthy spine and nervous system. During exercise, it is important to have your spine moving properly and your body to be balanced. If your spine is imbalanced, the physical impacts of exercise will actually wear it out faster".

Cpl. Matthew Richard died doing what he had always wanted to do: serving his country in the U.S. Marine Corps, his mother said Thursday.
Uniformed servicemen arrived at Alicia Richard's doorstep in Iota at 6 a.m. Thursday to deliver the news to the grieving mother and her husband, Jeff.
Richard, 21, was killed by an improvised explosive device at 10:17 a.m. Thursday (Afghanis- tan time.)
He was serving his second tour of duty with Golf Company, 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, his mother said.
"He died doing what he wanted to do," she said.
Richard joined the Marines after his high school graduation and one week before his 18th birthday.
"He was a hero," Alicia Richard said. "Very few young men know at 18 what they want to do with their lives and stick with it."
She described her son as a "wonderful boy" with a "beautiful sense of humor."
Matthew Richard's dream of being a Marine dated back to at least the second grade, where he wrote in a journal about his desire to one day serve his country, Alicia Richard said.
Over the years, her son studied the different branches of the military before settling on the Marines because "they were hard-core," she said.
The Marine-to-be likely gathered inspiration from looking at pictures of his great-grandfather, who had served in the Air Force.
"I think he was just in awe of him," she said.
Initially, the family tried to talk Matthew out of joining the Corps, fearing for his well-being, Alicia Richard said.
"He said he had to because it was his dream and if he didn't do it he would regret it," she said. "His second dream was to have a family. He'll never have that."
The middle child grew up athletic and loved to hunt and fish. It was hard not to find him with a gun in his hand, the mother joked.
At Iota High School, Matthew Richard enjoyed playing football, and played as much as he could "when his hands weren't broken," she said, referencing his love for the physical sport.
Richard's uncle, Bryan Newsom, described Matthew as a "real athletic guy."
"A real loveable person," Newsom said. "He loved his country."
The family plans to be in Dover, Del., when their son's body arrives, Richard said.
Funeral arrangements are pending.

BWW Reviews: Seth Glier Charms Rockwood Music Hall
Nestled in the cozy, subterranean concert space that is Rockwood Music Hall Stage 3, Seth Glier celebrated the release of his latest album on Friday, April 17 in New York City. In the intimate venue, he treated the packed to capacity room of fans with charismatic performances of songs from previous albums and from his newest one, If I Could Change One Thing.
He opened the show with the stirring "Man I Used to Be" from his 2013 record Things I Should Let You Know. With this song it is hard to believe that Glier is only 26 years old. His lyrics and the evocative narrative of the song seem to pour from a soul that has lived many years more than he has. With earnest, heartfelt vigor he then launched into the romantic and uplifting "Our Song" from his new album. From 2011's The Next Right Thing, he sang the moody and titular "The Next Right Thing" with spirited gusto, dark tonality, and pulsating drums.
The heartbreaking "You Wear It Well," which was inspired by his parent's recent divorce, from the new album was performed with tangible emotionality. Conversely, the cheerful "Lauralee" (from The Next Right Thing) was sung with vibrant charm. Returning to material from the new album, he sang the heartrending "Lift You Up," in which the speaker of the song can no longer be the person who holds his lover up. His lyrics and lush tenor-baritone instrument perfectly convey the devastation of resignation and the loss of a true love at the same time on the powerfully rich tune. This song was chased with a sterling rendition of the new album's "Love is a Language," which is inspired by his brother who is diagnosed with Autism and is non-verbal.
With a knack for gorgeous melancholy, Glier performed "Scars" from his new album. This anthem to overcoming adversity is my favorite song from If I Could Change One Thing, as it reminds us that "we're stripped down to our core/No disguises anymore/A picture starts to form/We're capable of changing" with lyrics that discuss the literal and metaphorical scars that we showoff and keep hidden. To lighten the mood, he sang a comedic song, "Craigslist," about finding all of your belongings on Craigslist as a jilted lover exacts revenge. Then, Glier ended the set with the beautiful "Standing Still" from his new album.
For an encore, he, his bassist, and his exceptionally talented blind saxophonist Joe Neary performed an a Capella, almost barbershop quartet, rendition of "You Always Hurt the One You Love" (Doris Fisher, Allan Roberts). While unexpected when compared to singer-songwriter and bluesy country songs that made up the rest of the set, each of the three men showed incredible vocal talent and controlled harmonizing on the sprightly tune.
It's hard to fit Glier into one genre, as he smartly mixes modalities from a handful of styles to create his unique voice. Lyrically, Glier can write a sad song like the best of country singers. Musically, Glier uses the soundscape of the singer-songwriter genre and weaves in tastes of the folksy. Then, he keenly utilizes Neary several different saxophones to add resplendent blues emotionality to his songs.
MPress Records released Seth Glier's If I Could Change One Thing on Tuesday April 7, 2014. The record can be purchased from iTunes, Amazon, and elsewhere music is sold. For more information about Glier, please visit http://sethglier.com. You can also follow him on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

This is a month we've been anticipating for quite a while. Usually November 1st creeps up on me, but we've been watching the calendar like crazy this year! Before we can go forward and start dreaming of the holiday season and all of the fun ahead, we have some other things to look back on from October this week!
Last night we enjoyed Halloween in our new city. This is one of the few holidays that's a little difficult to go "home" for, so we hit the streets in our neighborhood to see how O'Fallon does Halloween. :)
Joining our crew was Chase from Paw Patrol, a couple of peacocks, Batgirl, and one little man in a candy corn sleeper because his costume order was cancelled on me this week, gosh darn it. Haha. It was a cute idea, but it can wait until next year! Reagan seemed to be less concerned about the fact that he was a certain character, and more excited just to be a dog. While I was running around by myself trying to get five kids dressed and ready, he was wagging his tail saying "Wiggle wiggle wiggle," pretending to lick people, and chasing his little sister around on all fours.
The big kids were ready to pound pavement, and Charlotte looked super cute in Evelyn's old peacock costume.
I wish I had a better picture of Mr. Linc for his first Halloween, but this was as good as it was going to get!
He did great for most of the night!
I don't know why I would have expected anything different, but this night out felt just like all of our years past! The smell of fires crackling in driveways, cute kids running around, meeting neighbors...we felt right at home. Just like when the girls started a new school, kids are kids wherever you go, and Halloween is Halloween!
I love this picture. :) It takes me back to six years ago....
You'd never know this was a different kid!
Halloween 2010
The kids had a lot of fun going door to door. I don't know that it ever gets any better than this! As Eric turned to me and said last night, our kids are at prime trick-or-treat ages right now. In fact, the only thing truly scary about our night was the realization that we only get a few more fleeting years of this with some of them. (Oh my gosh, seriously stop growing up!)
After we had hit quite a few houses, Lincoln started getting fussy and we turned towards home. I stayed back for a little bit with the small ones while Eric took the big kids out for a little while longer. We did not even put a dent in our neighborhood by the end of the night! But you wouldn't know it. We have a gross amount of candy in this house today. :)
Our evening was not quite over yet. We had one stop to make to our friends the Stockdales. They wanted to see our kiddos in their costumes, so we loaded up in the van and over the highway and through the subdivisions to the Stockdale house we go!
Beth and Bob had special treats for our kids, and it was so incredibly sweet of them to think of us. They are sort of surrogate grandparents for our kiddos when we aren't able to see our own grandmas and grandpas. :)
It was here that we took our annual family photo!
It had been a very long night by this point, haha!
Speaking of grandmas and grandpas, that was the one thing we definitely missed about our night. We typically visit with them before trick-or-treating every year. I know my poor mama was feeling pretty blue about us not being around for Halloween this year. But I did see pictures of John with his own stash of candy, so I assume they stayed plenty busy themselves! When we came home for the night once and for all, we enjoyed our traditional pumpkin pie nightcap, thanks to my mom. So we did have a little piece of our own grandparents with us after all. :) We'll be home for the big holidays, mom - promise!!
The girls had an early dance class this morning, and I gotta tell ya, we were feeling it. Nothing like a little Halloween hangover! I truly feel for all of my teacher friends who had to deal with a holiday on a Monday, haha. We may all be feeling the repercussions for the rest of this week. :D
Does it get kind of cliche after a while to say how thankful I am for times like these? Because I just can't think of another word for it! I absolutely love seeing other families enjoying time together. Seeing everyone's pictures makes my heart so full. I think we are so very fortunate to live in a place where we can make these carefree and fun memories! God Bless the USA. Haha.
Come back tomorrow to check out the WILD trip we took last weekend. ;) Introducing Lincoln to all of our favorite local spots! See ya later, friends!

Former Major League Baseball (MLB) player Darryl Strawberry has been working with the Missouri state health department and a healthcare company to open a drug and alcohol treatment center in Overland.
The healthcare company that he has been working with is Oglethorpe Inc., which is based in Florida. Oglethorpe opened the first Darryl Strawberry Recovery Center in Orlando in January. It also operates mental health facilities in Ohio, Texas and Louisiana.
An article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch shares that the new facility will have 44 beds in an inpatient psychiatric hospital and ten group homes that will house developmentally disabled individuals. The facility and group homes will be located on the property of the former state-run Northwest Habilitation Center that closed in 2012.
According to the article:
Renovations on the 22,000-square-foot facility are expected to cost $4.3 million.
Strawberry, 51, played for two MLB teams during his 17-year baseball career-- the New York Mets and the New York Yankees. He struggled with drug and alcohol addiction and served jail time before recovering. Today, he and his wife live in St. Peters where they are both ordained ministers.

This is a guest column written by Deb Howard Greenleaf, a solopreneur who provides virtual accounting and bookkeeping services to small businesses and other solo professionals nationwide.
Visit www.greenleafaccounting.com/blog for more bookkeeping and tax tips from Deb, or follow her on Twitter: @dhgreenleaf.
Beginning in 2012, solopreneurs will be facing dramatic changes in 1099 reporting, but we're not quite sure exactly what those changes will be!
Thanks to an easily missed provision of the new health care bill passed in January (H.R. 3590, section 9006), all businesses will be required to send 1099-MISC forms for all payments to vendors. This is a significant change from previous requirements:
• Corporations, including Sub-S corporations, were previously exempt from 1099 reporting for "nonemployee compensation," the category typically reported with 1099-MISC forms. Now all business types—sole proprietorships, partnerships, LLCs and all types of corporations—will be eligible to receive 1099 forms.
• Vendors selling products will now be receiving 1099 forms, whereas previous reporting was limited to service providers.
Did You Buy a Computer? Send a 1099
First and foremost, you might be receiving 1099 forms for the first time if you operate your business as a Sub-S or "C" corporation. If you primarily sell products, you'll also see a dramatic increase in the number of 1099s you receive. Technically, if you're already reporting all of your income, then this will have no real impact on your business.
As a business that purchases products and services, however, you will be sending out a whole lot more 1099s. Did you buy a computer from Dell? Send them a 1099! Did you buy over $600 of postage stamps? Send the United States Postal Service a 1099! Crazy, huh?
The reality of these over-the-top requirements has led to numerous attempts to repeal or amend the new provision.
At this time, none of these attempts have succeeded, including a popular effort by Senator Mike Johanns of Nebraska to repeal the new requirements outright. Odds are good that there will be some changes before the new regulations are implemented, as there are currently four proposals to amend or repeal the requirements. Two House proposals and one Senate proposal call for elimination of the new requirements, but differ in how they would pay for lost revenue that was expected from the original requirements. Another proposal in the Senate, called the Information Reporting Modernization Act, would simply increase the reporting threshold from $600 to $5,000.
What Can Solopreneurs Do To Prepare For 1099 Changes?
What can you do to prepare for the new requirements, whatever they may be?
• Make sure that you're using an accounting system that allows you to track your payments by vendor. Under both current and proposed regulations, you don't need to send a 1099 to a vendor unless you've spent $600 or more with them in the calendar year. Most accounting systems will help you keep track of those totals.
• Next, you should send an IRS Form W-9 to each and every one of your service providers, including freelancers, consultants, your landlord, your cleaning person, your landscape service, your accountant, your lawyer and anyone else you may have paid for services. When sending out a 1099, you'll need to report your vendor's legal name, address and tax ID number. The W-9 form will help you acquire and document this information for each of your vendors.
• Lastly, mark your calendar. You are required to send out 1099 forms to your vendors no later than January 31 of each year. Copies of the 1099s, along with a Form 1096 summary, are due to the IRS by February 28 of each year.
Preparing now for the inevitable changes to 1099 reporting requirements will give you a head-start for the paperwork you'll be facing in January 2013. In the process, you'll have some peace of mind knowing that your systems are up-to-date for current requirements, and you will have one less thing to worry about!
• H.R. 3590, Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
• IRS Form W-9
• Information Reporting Modernization Act

"These guys have got it all figured out. They charge you $60,000 a year and make you compete for 500 slots," said my husband on the way home from our first college visit with our high school junior.
'Tis the season for acceptance and rejection and hunting for the perfect college and … the perfect prom dress.
Last week, like thousands of parents all over the U.S., we started shopping for the perfect college – putting off the prom dress shopping for one more week. And, as expected, we, as in I, fell in love with the most expensive one: a beautiful 100-year-old campus with stone buildings, gorgeous manicured walkways and a Harry Potteresque castle. Its front yard was the Atlantic Ocean.
After following our charming student guide, who walked backward for the entire two-hour tour, losing her beat-up Birkenstocks only five or six times, I understood that you get what you pay for.
I felt sure that we could drop our kid off at this majestic institution for four years and it would be the best experience of her life and, if it wasn't, we would withhold our payments, stomp our consumer feet and ask for a refund. Sixty thousand dollars a year, if we could cough it up, would buy some seriously good customer service and surely an L.L. Beanesque return policy.
One hundred percent satisfaction guaranteed, thank you very much.
Sucked in by the magical spell of this "very selective" (their words, not mine) liberal arts college, I wondered, could this be the golden ticket to the greatest college experience ever?
Not likely.
Not any more than an expensive dress and extravagant invitation to prom will guarantee the greatest prom night ever or evah, for that matter.
By the way, when did the invitation to prom become a bigger deal than the actual prom? Brave souls – we're talking Joan of Arc brave, Herculean brave – who risk rejection by asking someone to prom take an even bigger risk by making a public display of their intentions.
The process of asking someone to prom, these days, could go something like this: Plane banner flying over school with the words: "Will you go to prom with me?" Or making "the ask" in front of the entire school population.
If only there were a database, like selecting the perfect college, that listed the kids who had been asked to prom and the kids who had not been asked, therefore creating the perfect prom match-ups. Gyms would be filled with heavenly constellations of gods and goddesses in Easter-colored gowns and ill-fitting tuxedos. Spray tans and spiked heels would rule the skies.
Saturday, all over the country, high school juniors are taking the standardized test that will determine which colleges they apply to – the dreaded SATs. Most of them have spent weeks preparing and worrying about the outcome of this one test, but will it really make or break their future?
Not likely.
SATs, a permanent record that determines college worthiness; and prom, a permanent record that you once walked in heels, drove a good car and/or wore a tux, are both fixed events that provide passage from childhood to adulthood.
The college of their dreams and the dress of their dreams may seem like the path to nirvana at this stage in these young people's lives, but ultimately it comes down to the character of the buyer and his or her bravery in the face of standardized tests, asking someone to prom and surviving rejection.
Twenty years from now, with the clarity of perspective, they will look back as we do now at the visual records of these important young adult events and ask themselves, "Why did I worry so much about prom, SATs and college, when I should have been worrying about my hair?"

Malta backpacking is the low cost solution to an exotic Mediterranean island
Malta backpacking is both exciting and varied as it is easy and affordable. As a backpacker, you know it takes actually very little to satisfy your basic needs, and tend to find more value in the things that actually cost very little.
The island may be small, but it is rich and varied in its activities. While the island attracts its share of five star tourists, they hang out where five star tourists go and you may never even meet them. Meanwhile, the island is becoming more and more popular with independent travellers, some of whom like it so much they decide to stay a while.
Life here is easy, Malta weather is fantastic, nothing is ever too far away, there is a variety of things to do for every budget, and everybody speaks English. No wonder Malta is becoming a return destination to many travellers and home to more and more foreigners, while still retaining its own particular character. Sweet.
So, if Malta backpacking is next on your bucket list, here's a little low down on the essentials:
A backpack
If one is a traveller at heart, even a plastic bag could do, but for most long-term travellers, their trusty backpack is the equivalent of their home. All their possessions find a space to live inside this magical bag that seems to always have space for that one more thing. And yet, when it's on your back, you're hands-free and can even run to catch a bus! This must be the most basic essential of backpacking.
A method of transport
The most basic means of transport you have is your feet, and backpackers know they get to use them a lot. Hitch hiking is not the norm in Malta, but easier in Gozo. Next in line are probably the bus, the train (of which there are none in Malta), and the plane (which you are likely to catch to come to Malta, since it's an island), unless you are near a port and can sail away. Malta is reachable by air or by sea, with a regular catamaran connecting to Sicily.
Inexpensive quality lodging
You may love to sleep in your hammock hanging between two trees, or under the stars on the beach, or in your lightweight tent (1.2 kg ones are easy to find and affordable, remember you must carry it). Camping in Malta is an option in many beautiful places in nature, outside official camping grounds, however permits may be necessary while it is prohibited in some areas. Check your status before you pitch.
Hostel Jones in Malta
While that is all wonderful, we do not need to rough it, and sometimes nothing beats a warm shower, a safe room, cosy bedding, and a sofa to lounge on while watching a movie or playing some game with fellow travellers. And that's where we come in. Some things change, but Hostel Jones hasn't – it's the place that makes Malta backpacking better. The same great atmosphere is always here to welcome the traveller, and you will always find friends here.

Daytime Bedwetting Help
In this article:
Bedwetting Do's and Don'ts
Nighttime bed-wetting also called primary nocturnal enuresis is a common problem in children. However, it can be very upsetting for you and your child. How you handle this problem as a parent is crucial and can have a huge effect on your child's success in achieving dryness. Here are some helpful bedwetting tips that you can use when talking to your child about bedwetting.
- Offer Information: Telling your child he or she is not only one with the bedwetting problem is essential. There are about seven million other children out there with the same problem. This information will release some anxiety from your child's mind, and make them feel better about themselves.
- Talk About Family History: You must tell your child if you or anyone in close family has faced bedwetting. Sharing personal experiences might help your child to open-up as well as understand that bedwetting is hereditary, and not their fault.
- Never Blame your child: Bedwetting is involuntary, and not your child's fault. Even if there is a family history your child is not to be blamed. Reinforce that bedwetting is not their fault, and explain that a number of causes such as small bladders or being a deep sleeper can cause involuntary urination.
- Seek Medical Advice: Discuss with your child to see a pediatrician or urologist to help rule out any medical causes for bedwetting.
- Discuss Treatment Options: Talk to your child about the available treatment options such as bedwetting alarms, medications, and changes in lifestyle. Explain how each of the option works and how they might help in overcoming bedwetting.
- Discuss lifestyle changes: Explore some lifestyle change options such as reducing caffeinated drinks, salty foods, not having water or fluids closer to bedtime, and most importantly using the restroom before going to sleep.
- Encourage Sleepovers and Camps: Many children with bedwetting hesitate going to sleepovers or overnight camps. Talk to your child about using disposable underwear, medications, and sharing the problem with other parent at sleepover or camp counselor.
- Share the Responsibility: Involve your child in sharing the responsibility such as changing or washing sheets in case of an accident.
- Stay Positive: Lastly, be calm and encouraging, choose a treatment plan, and work with your child, and remember to reward your child for every milestone.
Practicing these bedwetting tips while dealing with bedwetting might help your children in his or her path to dryness.
Causes for Daytime Bedwetting
If your child is waking up with wet pajamas and soiled sheets he or she might be suffering from Primary or Secondary enuresis. Primary enuresis is defined as daytime wetting that persists past the age a child is expected to have gained control over his or her bladder, while secondary enuresis occurs when a child who has been potty trained for 6 months to a year spontaneously begins daytime wetting. Here we explain some of the most common daytime bedwetting causes.
Causes for Primary Enuresis
- Overactive Bladder: An overactive bladder is one that contracts and empties without warning. This cause of daytime wetting cannot be controlled by your child as it is entirely involuntary.
- Constipation: A full rectum presses against the bladder and irritates it. The irritated bladder is then more likely to contract and empty without warning.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): UTIs are less common than the previous two causes of daytime wetting. Like with constipation, a urinary tract infection causes the bladder to become irritated and contract without warning. In this case, the irritation is caused by bacteria, yeast, or a virus. The infection may cause frequent urination and/or painful urination, both of which increase the chances that the child will experience daytime wetting. When urination is painful, your child is less likely to use the bathroom even when your child recognized that he or she should, increasing the chance that when the bladder contracts involuntarily, it is full.
- Irregular Toilet Habits: On an average, children should use restroom five to seven times a day. However, if he or she only uses the bathroom two to three times a day, and does not use the bathroom when he or she first wakes up, or does not completely empty his or her bladder when he or she does use the bathroom, daytime wetting may be a likely result.
Causes for Secondary Enuresis
- Stress: Emotional stress stemming out of events such as birth of a new sibling, divorce or separation of the parents may stress out the child that he or she responds to with daytime wetting.
- Environment Change: Starting a new school or moving to a unfamiliar place or death of loved one can result in bed wetting.
- Peer Pressure: Daytime wetting may make the child nervous about going to school or playing with friends for fear of having his or her secret discovered. This can exacerbate the problem by causing the child even more stress and making the problem worse.
Daytime Bedwetting: How it Impacts Children
Daytime wetting or Diurnal Enuresis can be a stressful childhood situation. Although less common than bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis), about 1 out of 4 children, according to Web MD, who wet bed at night also wet the bed during the day.
Children suffering from daytime wetting are often hesitant about discussing their predicament at home. They live in perpetual fear of their friends discovering this embarrassing secret, and their siblings teasing them for their wetting habits.
The fear of daytime wetting might have trouble making friends or performing at school. The constant social pressure leads to a decaying morale and low self-esteem, which ultimately impacts negatively on their general well-being.
Diurnal enuresis can also become a source of problems, especially if their parents react reproachfully to the wetting. In absence of parental support children can often become withdrawn and anxious, and they might refuse to interact and be social in most situations.
It is important to assure your child that bedwetting is a lot more common than it may be perceived. In the U.S., there are nearly 7 million children who suffer through enuresis. Ensure your child that their wetting is not their fault, and that working together can help them resolve this issue.
Often times, children who have daytime wetting (diurnal enuresis) also have nocturnal enuresis (nighttime bedwetting), which means they wet their beds during the night without realizing it. It is absolutely important to not get angry at your child for their wetting because they do not have control over it. Showing frustration or anger at them only increases their anxiety and, thus, their negative self-image.
Although it may be frustrating for you, as a parent to see your child go through something like this, it is much more embarrassing for your child. Instead of getting angry at your child, try to be more supportive and encouraging, to see a positive result.
Daytime Bedwetting Solutions
Daytime wetting (diurnal enuresis) is easier to treat over nighttime bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis) because children are conscious of their activities during the day. Diurnal enuresis may be caused by a variety of reasons, but one of the most common reasons is dysfunctional voiding (urinating). In dysfunctional voiding, children are hesitant about using public restrooms or they are unwilling to give up on play time. They eventually learn to disassociate the need to urinate and a full bladder, and are often unaware that their bladder is full. Children are also usually in a hurry to get back to their previous activity, so even when they do urinate on the toilet, they do not empty their bladders completely.
There are a number of different bedwetting solutions to combat your child's daytime wetting.
- Timed Voiding Technique: Typically, a child should be able to urinate every 2-3 hours throughout the day. If your child is not urinating at that pace, then their water intake is poor, and should increase.
- Double Voiding: Have your child empty his/her bladder completely at least twice a day (a technique called "double voiding"). After your child has finished urinating, wait for some time before having them urinate again, to ensure that they have completely emptied their bladder.
- Daily Bowel Movement: Research shows that constipation and urine accidents are directly interlinked. Therefore, make ensure that your child is consistently having a bowl movement every day.
- Completely Emptying of Bladder: When emptying their bladders, children should be taught to take their time and relax. There is no need to strain or push in order to urinate, and in fact, this is not normal.
- More Fluids: A good fluid intake is important, in order to flush out the bladder and kidneys. Normal color of urine should be clear or light yellow, not amber or dark yellow.
- Hygiene : It is important to be hygienic. Girls should be taught to wipe themselves, from front to back, and sit on the toilet with their legs wide open. In addition, bathing suits should be taken off when not swimming and they should not be used as replacement underwear. Showers are better for daily hygiene than sitting in bathtubs with soaps, shampoo or other oils, which may be irritating.
- Daily Bowel Movement: A daily bowel movement is important because many times constipation and urine accidents are interlinked.
Alarms and Medication: Bedwetting alarms go off when they detect urine and therefore, can be helpful when a child is playing and doesn't want to use the restroom.
Medication can also be helpful, though they may also lead to side effects.
These bedwetting solutions and techniques won't change your child's daytime wetting instantly, but over time, their behavior pattern will change and they will overcome their tendency to wet during the day. Though it may be frustrating at times, be encouraging and hopeful and it will eventually lead to positive results.
Daytime Bedwetting Treatment Options
Almost all cases of daytime wetting are caused medical or emotional issues that are beyond a child's control. In these cases, a child needs assistance from parents or medical professionals to recover from the problem. Here are some daytime bedwetting treatment options that you can explore.
Treating Bedwetting Caused By Medical Issues
- Overactive Bladder: Bedwetting arising out of an overactive bladder can be cured with medications that can calm the bladder, causing it to contract and empty less. Occasionally, an emotional stress can cause overactive bladder and resolving the issue that is causing the stress may be the solution to curing the daytime wetting.
- Constipation: Watch if your child is constipated. Constipation is another common, but often overlooked cause of daytime wetting, which can be solved by including more fluids and fiber in the child's diet. It is important to monitor both child's urine and stool.
- Urinary tract infections, though less common, can also be a cause of daytime wetting. Seek a doctor's advice and prescription for treating urinary tract infections.
Addressing Emotional Issues
- Change in Physical Environment: Moving or changing schools may trigger bedwetting. In such cases reassuring the child and setting up and maintaining a new routine may alleviate emotional stress, and eventual cure bedwetting.
- Change in Family Environment: A child experiencing emotional anxiety arising out of divorce or separation of parents or a death in the family might wet the bed. In such a situation providing a healthy environment at home and school (talk to the teachers and make them aware of the problems at home) may help in curing bedwetting.
Preventing Measures
- Set a reminder: If the child's daytime wetting is occurring because the child forgets to use the restroom regularly then simply schedule bathroom times at set intervals. Rewarding dry days can motivate the child to remember to use the bathroom regularly.
- Eliminate Caffeine: Cut out caffeine from child's diet as it increases the amount of urine the body makes, while dehydrating the body, and possibly causing constipation.
Parental Advice: How to deal with Bedwetting (enuresis)
Bedwetting is an underreported and commonly misdiagnosed problem. If your child wets bed, neither you nor child are at fault. Listed below are some tried and tested parental advice to use.
- Identify the cause: Bedwetting can be caused either due to medical issues such as constipation or due to emotional stress like divorce or separation of parents or moving. It is important to identify the underlying cause and deal with it immediately.
- Treatment Options: Enuresis can be resolved with the right bedwetting treatment options such as bedwetting alarm systems and/or medication. Bedwetting alarms have been reported to be very effective. There are quite a few alarms available there that vary in quality and style. However, all alarm systems include an alarm unit and moisture sensor. The sensor detects urine immediately and the alarm goes off waking up the child to use the bathroom.
You can use medicines if your child has bedwetting due to medical issues or if you are sending your child to a sleepover or an overnight camp. However, consult your child's pediatrician first.
- Involve Your Pediatrician: It's good to involve your child's pediatrician in the treatment plan. Doctors can examine family history, offer counseling, evaluate if the child has any psychological strain or medical issue such as an overactive bladder, constipation or UTIs (unitary tract infection), and then suggest an appropriate treatment plan.
- Prepare Ahead: If a bedwetting accident occurs at night it might be helpful to have fresh clothes and towels next to the bed so that you can quickly put the child back to sleep.
- Teach Responsibility: Involve your child in cleaning up–changing and washing sheets or clothes. The inconvenience of cleaning up not only teaches responsibility, but it might motivate the child to use restroom before bed and empty his or bladder before sleep.
- Be Supportive: Bedwetting can be frustrating for you as a parent. But staying calm is essential. Blame or negative comments from you can certainly have an adverse effect on your child. Be patient and persistent, follow consistent bed time routine, and go for regular health-checks.
- Impose a No Teasing Rule: Siblings or any other family members and visitors should not be allowed to be tease children about bedwetting. As a parent you must sensitize the siblings and other family members toward the situation of the bedwetting child.
- Reward Dry Nights: Lastly, appreciate your child for each milestone. Introduce a sticker system. Each time the child doesn't wet the bed you can give him or her a sticker of child's favorite cartoon character, and once the child goes dry a whole week you can go on a family treat at the restaurant your child picks.
