Since we found out the gender of Baby #5 on July 3rd, I knew I wanted to do a patriotic-themed gender reveal party this time around! Kind of a late 4th Of July celebration/gender reveal.
It's pretty easy to do patriotic food too - I made some swirly patriotic fudge, and a s'more dip in the colors of an American flag. Throw some American-inspired Hershey kisses and red, white and blue flowers in there, and there you go!
We served hamburgers to our guests, and asked everyone to bring a side to share - and there was plenty to eat!
We had our friends and family wear a pin with their guess. I basically just cut up some decorations from Hobby Lobby and hot glued them onto pins - red hearts for a girl, blue hearts for a boy.
Everyone expects some sort of gender reveal party games at our parties, so I came up with a couple...
Game #1 - Guess how many pieces of candy are in the jar. There were slightly more red M&M's for those who thought they would be talented candy guessers. There were 311 pieces of candy, with $5 Starbucks gift card for the winner!
Game #2 - Our Baby Name Game involved learning the names of everyone in the room, and then coming up with a baby name (opposite of each person's gender) that starts with the same letter. There may have been ulterior motives to this game, since we don't have a girl name pick out yet. I got a couple ideas from everyone's sheets! For participating, guests were entered into a drawing for another $5 Starbucks gift card (the promise of a prize just makes any little game so much more appealing).
I won't show all the pictures of our friends and family here, but we had a great party! It was fun to visit with everyone and enjoy all the wonderful food that everyone brought! And of course, our family dressed up in all our patriotic attire.
Finally, for the actual reveal we did a little contest too. I made pudding/whipped cream pies for a "pie" eating contest...
In each pie was a paper with the combination to open this box:
I put a pink glow stick on the inside! We had originally planned this party in the evening because we wanted to announce Baby's gender with a sparkler...but our county was put under a fire ban right before our party, so I resorted to a glow stick instead. It worked out pretty well! Everyone was extremely competitive and fought over the box, but in the end, my sister got to open it!
Baby #5 is a sweet baby GIRL, and we are so excited!
Also, for those of you who entered your guess on Baby's Gender...the poll ended up being almost dead even for boy vs. girl guesses! Thank you to everyone who participated, I had so much fun reading through all the guesses. And the winner of the drawing from those who guessed correctly was...my blog friend Alex, from Inspiration Clothesline! I'll shoot you an email soon Alex so I can send you your prize!

I was not aware until recently that PJ Masks is a new show, but in our house, we are all in. My kids know the theme song. They come up with PJ Masks stories to play out. Even Derek will sit down and watch an episode with them in the evenings and chuckle at it!
Last week was Wyatt's 6th birthday. I cannot believe that my baby is six years old! I still remember that surreal moment when he was born, with his tiny little cry, and the tears that were streaming down my face. This kiddo is something special, and I love him so much.

At the end of September we had Clarice's first birthday party! I have probably been planning and mulling over this party more than most of the other ones I've thrown, and I picked my theme months ago when I ordered our gorgeous invitations. Despite all my mental planning, I didn't actually buy anything else until a week before her party, but I am happy with the way it turned out!
Tissue paper flowers: I made them from a kit that I got on clearance at Joann's - they were so easy! You could easily make them without a kit, and maybe one of these days I'll do a post (or find one already written) to show you how.
String of balloons: The best idea I ever got from Pinterest.
Lemon drops and tea cups: The tea cups I have had for a while - whenever I find a pretty on in an antique shop I snag it, so they were perfect for my "tea party" vision.
Rose-shaped dessert mints: My mom made these for Clarice's party with an old family recipe! They fit in perfectly with all the decor. Thanks, Mom!
Tea pot: I've been wanting one anyway, so when I saw this Pioneer Woman tea pot at Walmart, I figured this was the perfect excuse to buy it!
Milk bottles with chalkboard tags: I bought some extra milk bottles, because these are my favorite cups for the kids - if they leave them around the house, they kind of look decorative! I added some chalkboard tags with these little cut-outs that I found at Hobby Lobby for $3.
Chalkboard: My attempt at hand-lettering! Don't laugh.
Water bottles: I got some scrapbook paper that looked like aspen tree bark to replace the water bottle labels, and I taped them on with pretty washi tape. The mint-colored tub I already had (Hobby Lobby).
Punch: Cranberry juice and Squirt. It's simple and very good.
White cabinet: Can you believe I won that in an Instagram giveaway? It was very exciting.
Small "dot" banner: Minted!
"Happy Birthday Clarice" banner: Minted!
"Sips" and "Treats" table signs: Minted!
Cupcake toppers: You guessed it - also part of the Minted party kit I received earlier this year!
Cupcakes: I made those, strawberry cake mix, store-bought strawberry frosting. Keeping it simple.
Jello Popcorn: See recipe here, minus the peanuts.
White chocolate leaves: I made those with Almond Bark chocolate and some leaf molds.
Flowers and Aspen tree candle holder: Hobby Lobby. I just loved the candle holders when I saw them, and it was very convenient since I could use them for Clarice's party too!
THE CAKE: All caps, because I am so proud of it! My sister made this cake - isn't she amazing? All I told her was that I wanted an "aspen tree stump", and the cake turned out better than I even imagined!
Glitter candle: I saw it on another Instagram account, and when I tried to find it again later to look at her DIY, I couldn't find it! So I just winged it and used Elmer's glue and glitter to cover a "1" candle. It worked out nicely.
Banner cake topper: I got the little triangle cutouts at Hobby Lobby and strung them between two paper straws that I already had.
Clarice's birthday dress: I found it on Taylor Joelle last year, and it just happened to work perfectly as her party dress!
Headband: I bought it from this shop.
So there you go! A year's worth of mental planning, and now it's over. It's a little sad really - where did the last year go? HOW IS MY BABY ONE?! It's cliche, but it really does go by too fast.

Scottsdale's premiere PGA golf tournament has a new name, and it won't do much to help the tournament's unsavory image among golf's elite.
The Phoenix Open -- or the FBR Open, as it's been known since 2004 -- is often criticized by the PGA's most pompous linisters.
Many, including the philandering Tiger Woods, say the 16th "party hole," where fans scream, yell, drink, and basically act like they're at a ZZ Top concert, takes away from the tradition of class and manners often associated with golf.

The tournament's new isn't going change any minds.
In an announcement this afternoon, tournament officials said that starting next year the tournament will be called: "The Waste Management Open."
Yes, that's correct -- the historic golf tournament that draws more spectators than any other event on the PGA tour, and is held in ritzy Scottsdale, is now named after a company where most employees spend the majority of their day elbow-deep in dumpster juice.
Tiger Woods is nailin' cocktail waitresses, and now this? How trashy is this sport gonna get (badop-ching)?

Polk County Ditch 80 provides an outlet for approximately 4.2 square miles. The existing ditch consists of approximately 3.5 miles of open channel, and has over 45 feet of vertical fall. Flows frequently break out ofthe drainage area, and flow overland, impacting the adjacent Maple Creek. Landowners submitted a petition to the SHRWD to investigate improving the system and adding laterals to control break out flows.
In anticipation of the petition for Ditch 80, the SHRWD applied for funding through the Multipurpose Drainage Management Program, which is part of the Clean Water Fund administered by BWSR. The SHRWD was successful in securing funding for the installation of side inlet pipes along the ditch channel.
These practices will reduce the contribution of sediment into the ditch system, and also reduce the costs required by the benefitting landowners.

Friday at a press conference about the sanctuary city procedures some say are responsible in the shooting death of Kathryn Steinle allegedly by five-time deportee and convicted felon Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, San Francisco Co. Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi laid the blame squarely on federal immigration officials for not having a warrant on Lopez-Sanchez.
Sheriff Mirkarimi told reporters, "I find it incredibly sad and incomprehensible that this tragedy is being used as a platform for political gain. We want to set the record straight."
He continued, "When a bench warrant is confirmed and requested a full and arranged transportation for San Francisco so that Lopez Sanchez could appear before the San Francisco court. Although this bench warrant existed in the system for 20 years and Lopez Sanchez was in federal custody three types since 1995, this is the only time we have record that the federal authorities sought to clear the 1995 felony warrant for possession, for sale, of marijuana. possession and for sale of marijuana. Federal authorities could have repeated their earlier process as they had done numerous times before and deported him without responding to the 1995 warrants. San Francisco rarely if ever prosecutes for marijuana anyway. On March 26th Lopez Sanchez is transported to San Francisco county jail on a felony warrant. On March 20th. 2015, Lopez Sanchez appears in court with his defense counsel and deputy district attorney. The DA moves to dismiss the charges and the charges are dismissed by the San Francisco court."
"Mr. Lopez Sanchez was legally released from the jail. Subsequent to march 26th, ICE immigration customs and enforcement did not provide the San Francisco sheriff department with a warrant to hold him for proceedings."
"I informed the Department of Homeland Security who presides over ICE that a warrant or a judicial order is required to detain someone and pick up by ICE authorities. And ICE has known this well over a year since the board of supervisors passed the due process for all ordinances in 2013 which was signed by Mayor Lee. And that the sitting county of San Francisco and sheriff's department policy require a warrant or judicial order to detain an individual in custody for transfer or delivery to ICE," he added.

Arsenal have top quality players all round but still need to improve to challenge for the Premier League title.
One of the key departments that needs to be strengthened is that of midfield and the Gunners are in search of a complete midfielder.
The North Londoners are heavily linked with one such top quality player in the form of Arturo Vidal and reports suggest that Arsenal are clear to seal £28.5m star transfer.
If the Chilean international does sign, it is highly likely that Aaron Ramsey will be the one to lose his starting place in the squad.
Vidal likes free role in midfield and although he is more than capable of playing as DM, he has normally played in central midfield or attacking midfield.
Gunners have Coquelin as their main holding midfielder while the attacking department has world class players in Alexis, Ozil, Cazorla and quality depth as well.
Hence it will come as no surprise if Ramsey is the one who loses his place in Arsenal starting XI.

British Columbia Evacuates Thousands More as Wildfires Spread
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - British Columbia Monday evacuated thousands more residents from the path of wildfires spreading across the Western Canadian province amid expectations the blazes will grow as forecasters predict more hot, dry weather the week.
- July, 11, 2017 - 00:44
- Other Media
- Comments
British Columbia's chief fire spokesman Kevin Skrepnek told CBC News that more than 10,000 people had been forced from their homes, up from about 7,000 the previous day.
138 fires started Friday as electrical storms and brisk winds passed through the interior of the bone-dry province, which has not seen significant rains for weeks.
British Columbia declared its first state of emergency since 2003, deploying some 1,600 personnel over the weekend to respond to the fires.
Some 24,000 hectares were ravaged by wildfires as of midday Sunday, according to official tallies. But Skrepnek told reporters he believed the extent of the devastation was significantly higher, Reuters reported.
British Columbia has announced C$100 million ($78 million) in emergency funds. The Canadian Red Cross will hand out stipends of C$600 to help those displaced by fires and other money will be reserved for rebuilding.
Canada's military has agreed to supply airplanes and helicopters and put personnel on standby, and other jurisdictions have agreed to send some 260 personnel to help.
Survivors of the May 2016 Fort McMurray blaze, one of the worst fires in Canadian history, organized a drive to send water, fuel and other supplies to British Columbia.
That fire displaced 88,000 people and burned 590,000 hectares.

Talk radio host Rush Limbaugh responded to a piece in the Huffington Post comparing the Pilgrims to Syrian refugees with, "if you take this guy all the way out to his logical conclusion, the Syrian refugees are gonna kill all of us" on Wednesday.
Rush quoted from the piece entitled, "This Thanksgiving, Remember America's Pilgrims Were Refugees, Too," which said, "Some of the first pilgrims to settle on America's shores were Europeans who fled persecution in their home countries. When the Mayflower pilgrims landed in New England in the early 17th century, they established a harvest celebration that would later become known as Thanksgiving by sitting down with Native Americans gracious enough to share their land and way of life. And, well, we all know how that turned out."
He then stated, "It's near criminal the way these people have rewritten, and maybe don't even understand history in the first place. That paragraph is 150% wrong. But he goes on to say, today the Pilgrims are embodied in the Syrian refugees. Which means, if you take this guy all the way out to his logical conclusion, the Syrian refugees are gonna kill all of us after sitting down and having dinner with us. And they're gonna take everything we've got, and they're gonna mass march all over the country, commit genocide, and establish this nation as Syria West. I mean, that's what the guy is saying."

BMW Side car catching air
2011 November 17
I love this shot. Looks like fun… however, if i was the passenger, i'd probably need a fresh change of underwear.
So as it turns out, the passenger in the sidecar is actually a woman… and her name is Dane Rowe. She is quite the vintage moto babe. Thanks to Shane for doing some digging about her and sharing the information with me.
She even has a fan page:
Look for an article on her someday on the Vintagent blog. She is still alive and well and has become a coin collector of all things… Cheers to Dane!

Drug company Bayer Pharmaceuticals has been knee-deep in litigation over the past several years due to the reported side effects of birth control pills Yaz and Yasmin, which have been found in scientific studies to significantly raise the risk of blood clots more than older brands of birth control pills.
Now, the company faces a new source of legal action. Some women using the Mirena IUD as a birth control option have complained of serious complications, including Mirena IUD migration and perforation of organs like the uterus, bladder, and intestines.
As the number of Mirena lawsuits increased over the last year, Bayer sought centralization of New Jersey cases in August 2012, but that request was recently denied. Now Mirena lawyers have petitioned the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) to consolidate each federal Mirena IUD lawsuit into one court, for ease of pre-trial proceedings.
Bayer Advertises Mirena as More Convenient
Approved by the FDA in 2000, the Mirena IUD is a small, T-shaped plastic device professionally inserted into the uterus, where it gradually releases small amounts of the progestin "levonorgestrel" to prevent pregnancy. Bayer originally marketed the device as being a more convenient, longer-lasting alternative to birth control pills, particularly for busy moms who didn't want to bother with remembering to take a pill every night.
Post-marketing reports, however, have indicated that some women experience serious Mirena IUD side effects. As of June 2012, the FDA adverse event database had received 45,000 reports of problems related to the Mirena, including migration of the device from its original place of implantation, organ perforation, bleeding, infection, ovarian cysts, embedment of the device into the uterine wall, and ectopic pregnancy.
In December 2009, the FDA sent a warning letter to Bayer about their aggressive marketing, admonishing the company for overstating the benefits of the device while minimizing the risks. Statements indicating that the Mirena improved relationships and sex lives while helping women to "look and feel great" had no scientific basis, and Bayer was encouraged to stop making these types of misleading claims.
Mirena IUD Migration Leads to Hospitalization
A 2011 article published in the Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons reported on two cases of Mirena IUD migration. In both women, the device had traveled to the abdominal area, and had to be surgically removed.
The Mirena is designed to last for about five years, but FDA reports indicate that many women are suffering from Mirena side effects long before that. Women filing a Mirena IUD lawsuit typically complain of migration and organ perforation. Most had to be hospitalized as a result, and the FDA has so far received reports of 42 deaths related to the device.
Each Federal Mirena IUD Lawsuit May Soon Be Centralized
Because of the rising number of women filing a Mirena IUD lawsuit, on January 16, 2013, plaintiffs petitioned the JPML to centralize all cases into one court in the Northern District of Ohio. Centralization would make pre-trial proceedings more efficient for all parties involved, the plaintiffs stated, and would reduce the risk of inconsistent rulings. According to the petition, Mirena lawyers are expecting hundreds of cases to be filed in the coming months.
Bayer requested centralization of New Jersey lawsuits as well, but the New Jersey Supreme Court recently denied that request for unknown reasons. Centralization of state cases will likely occur in other locations.

Tmonews has it from a "trusted source" that existing T-Mobile customers will be granted a presale of the delayed-maybe-not-delayed HTC Dream. The presale supposedly starts September 17 and will last for one week. Existing customers will be able to pre-purchase the Google Android-powered HTC Dream, aka G1, for $150 although the actual retail price is expected to be $399. A full launch is rumored to be happening in early to mid-October.
Remember that leaked video that supposedly featured the HTC Dream, aka G1, in white. Whether or not that's the actual phone we still don't know, but the G1 is not only expected to be available in white, but in black and brown also. Who wants a brown cell phone I'm not sure, but the 3G-enabled phone will probably require a data plan from T-Mobile and user's will require a Google Gmail account for the phone to work. Other rumored specs include a 5-inch long by 3-inch wide touchscreen, a slide-out QWERTY keypad, and most likely some sort of built-in GPS. However, there's been no mention of any WiFi capabilities or UMA.
We'd like to hear from any T-Mobile customers out there. Are you planning on purchasing the HTC Dream, aka G1?

Did you ever throw a party where nobody came? You sent out invitations, decorated the house, bought food, and maybe even hired a clown. And then you spent hours looking around at that big, empty space. Or hanging out with the one or two guests who did come. They look at you like you suckered them into an Amway membership. And that sad, sad clown doing magic tricks and wishing he had learned how to make himself disappear.
That's what a website is like without SEO (search engine optimization). SEO brings traffic and potential patients to your website. We want your website to be the must-attend event of the season, and that's why a multi tiered SEO approach is part of your Pro Impressions Marketing Group membership. Want to learn more about the benefits of becoming a member? Please call (970) 672-1212 today to find out if there's an open membership in your city, town, or county.
Be on the Guest Lists
One secret to making sure people show up at your party is being seen at all the right parties. If people see you at the biggest events of the year, they're more likely to assume that your party is a good one to be seen at.
It's the same with SEO. Search engines use registry sites to help them figure out which websites are the most important ones for particular industries and in particular places. We make sure that your website is listed in all the right places so that it's more likely to come up at the top of the rankings.
Reward Visitors and You'll Be Rewarded
Google and other search engines are running their own business. In order to stay at the top of their field, they have to keep giving searchers the best results. If people get to your website and immediately leave, the search engines assume your website isn't a good result and you'll be demoted.
But if potential patients are attracted by your website design and stay to read your content, search engines see you as a winning result and promote your site more.
Rep Leads to Ranking
You know that your reputation matters for getting people to come to your party. If people speak badly about you, no one's going to want to come to your party. And it's the same for your website. A key element of SEO is making sure that your website has good reviews online. About 92% of users read reviews before picking a service, so search engines promote websites that have more reviews and better reviews to help keep their searchers happy.
That's why online reputation management is another key service we include as part of your membership to Pro Impressions Marketing Group.
Sometimes You Have to Spend Money
Ideally, SEO will bring all the traffic you need to your site, but in the competitive dental industry, that's not always the case. If you are looking to bring in a steady flow of high-value cases, you have to be prepared to do PPC (pay-per-click) advertising.
We know that this seems like a bad strategy (like paying people to come to your party), but the rewards can be tremendous. For just a couple of bucks, you can bring in leads that turn into thousands of dollars of revenue. Management of your PPC campaign is included in your membership fee. You set the budget, tell us what you want to target, and we'll design effective ads for the campaign. We'll closely monitor the results so you can see exactly how well the campaigns are doing, and refine or stop them at any time.
No Sad Clowns
At Pro Impressions Marketing Group, we love a great party, and that's what we want your website to be: a great big boisterous party where everyone has a raucous good time. Balloon animals, yes. Card tricks, yes. Lots and lots of web traffic–a hundred times, yes! The last thing we want to see is a sad clown with no audience. And our SEO makes sure that doesn't happen.
If you are tired of a website that's an unattended party, it's time to see the benefits of becoming a Pro Impressions Marketing Group member. Please call (970) 672-1212 today for more information.

Meet Lamby – The Lost!
Lamby is an energetic young soul who loves to roam wild and free.
Endearing wide-eyes… Cute little bleat… Who could harm such an innocent young creature!?
Unfortunately for Lamby, the locals don't care about cuteness…
As far as they are concerned, their homes are being invaded by noisy balls of wool!
It doesn't help that the lamb population has gone Hay-Wire, bordering on the need for pest control.
From the local farm to the icy wasteland, lambs are surrounded on all sides by frustrated animals.
Only Matilda can save them – With a little help from you, of course!
The lambs like to relax in strange places and just watch what happens.
Some are quite easy to reach, while others have wriggled their way into the most awkward of places, adding further headaches for the Shepherd, Matilda, and the player who controls her.
Bring them to the barn!
Each area has a set number lambs. The player must do what they can to save as many as possible.
If too many lambies fall prey to the local dangers, then the level ends.
To achieve max rank (and candy profit), it is in the best interest of the player to go the extra mile and save as many lambs as possible, though you may still decide to leave one or two behind…
(shame on you!)

I haven't written for myself in a really long time. But something has been bothering me and it's always best for me to sit and reflect to try to find some truth in it or debunk the negative that may be trying to creep in.
I know I still have weight to lose. I'm no dummy. I know there are physical goals to be conquered, mini jean shorts to be enjoyed and the freedom to truly do all the things I have wanted to do.
I have felt fat lately. There really hasn't been any particular reason why, however, feeling fat and being fat are two totally different things. I haven't felt like this in a while, so I needed to sit and reflect as to why this is creeping up.
We all go through moments in our life when our confidence is lacking, goals are missed and focus just isn't where it needs to – this is life. I think my confidence has been wavering a bit, and for most who know me, this may come as a total shocker!
And I know why this is happening. Only now do I realize why I am feeling fat and why I feel as though my confidence is sliding. There was a relationship in my life that had always taken up a very large space in my world. Through therapy alone, I finally realized that this relationship was unhealthy. It was unhealthy because of the other person. This person, in a moment, had the ability to make me feel one inch high and 600 inches wide. I made a conscious effort to let this relationship go. Because of life events and my role in their life, they are back. But, I allowed them back in the same capacity they owened before – this was my mistake.
I have felt fat because I have started falling back into the mental space I was in when I was a kid, teen, young adult and beyond – I have let that person bring me down again. They recently asked me, "When the kids are settled in school, will you plan on going back to work". In my clarity, I know what they were asking. "When are you going to give up on the training and go back to making good money and having the prestige in your position like you did before you quit".
Often times when I meet someone, and they ask what I do, I feel like I need to justify myself, my current physical appearance and shout out, "But I have already lost a bunch of weight!!". I say, "I am a certified trainer, and love working with woman who have weight loss goals in mind". The look is almost 99% consistent – huh? Ya. That's right. And sometimes, they will actually give me a once over and probably not even realize they are doing it.
Am I reading into the question too much? Not a chance in hell.
What do I need to do? A number of things…
1. I need to reclaim my mental and physical boundaries. I have worked so hard in identifying the good, the bad and the "need to just exist" people in my life that I lost sight of this when I saw vulnerability. This person is unwell and my heart quickly swelled and I lost sight of me.
2. I need to say with confidence and pride that I am a trainer. This is who I am now. I am not doing this to make ends meet. I am not doing this to buy time until I can go back to the shit life of a corporate rat. I find complete joy and pleasure in seeing someone do their first full push up or get off the ground when I knew they couldn't – and it's a result of my help that these milestone are reached.
3. I need to continue to put me first, in every moment of my life, in every decision. I can't let excuses or reasons be bigger than me wanting to sport those jean shorts around (this is completely in jest, but you get what I mean).
4. I have to recognize that there will be days that I feel like the old me. And sometimes there wont be any reason than the subconscious trying to tell me something. I needed to feel huge. I needed to feel uncomfortable in my own skin for me to realize that this person does not have the power to make me feel small, or less than amazing. It is only me that could allow that, and I did. No longer.
5. I will continue to believe I am on the right path, taking no bullshit from anyone. There will be many people who will seem kindred, who will seem like their presence is kismet, but I think those devils are here to test me. I am learning, as I always believe I had known, that people come and go for lessons. I am grateful for that.
Do you feel fat today? Well, let me tell you, you are the only one capable of controlling how you feel. Embrace it, and then ask why? I am so glad I felt like every outfit looked like shit this week. Because it helped me remind me of my worth and the amazing journey I have been on, changing all but a few cogs in the wheel of life.
It's a good day to be me and to be a person who loves helping others.

Yesterday we joined more than 400 others at the Hilton Hotel in downtown Portland for the Portland Business Journal's Forty Under 40 celebration, honoring 40 young, distinguished Portland-area leaders, including DePaul Industries President & CEO Travis Pearson.
Today is a big day for DePaul Industries: the launch of our new website!
If you've visited us online recently, you know that our previous site was a bit dated, and it could be difficult to find information. DePaul has grown and changed significantly since our previous site was built, and our new site better reflects who we are and what we do.

Bunting says regional military forces must begin to plan for Ebola threat to national security
Jamaica's National Security Minister says the military forces of Caribbean and Latin American countries should now start planning to deal with public emergencies arising from a possible Ebola outbreak.
Speaking after a conference of defense ministers in Peru, Bunting referred to pronouncements by the World Health Organisation that the deadly virus has now led to a crisis for international peace and security.
Against that background, Bunting said the Ebola epidemic should now be treated as a threat to national security.
He is urging the military forces of the Caribbean to prepare for a likely outbreak in the hemisphere.
"It is timely that our militaries who have great experience in disaster response and emergency management start to plan for the eventuality of an outbreak," he said.
The National Security Minister says the Jamaican delegation at the conference was seeking technical information on the establishment and management of military health systems in emergency situations.
According to Bunting, the devastation caused by the virus in West Africa is clear evidence that the region must not take the threats Ebola lightly.
He said the countries of the Americas must act together, if they are to prevent the spread of Ebola and other diseases throughout the region.
Since it was identified in March, the Ebola outbreak has killed more than 4,000 people in the worst-hit West African countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Nigeria.

"My Lover, my partner, my life…" revisited
Usually, I save this sort of thing for my books. (I love footnotes and the annotations I've put with them…it's a lot of fun to share the things I was thinking about or secretly meant when I was writing my book.) But this one has quietly been asking me to share it and discuss it on my blog; despite my limited readership.
So we'll revisit "My lover, my partner, my life…" from the upcoming The Collection (I) and I'll discuss it in terms of Kaia–whose voice is used in this piece–and Alexander, to whom she is speaking.
I've never found a voice
that calls me out of the darkness
quite the way you do.
I can hear others calling me,
speaking my name…
but none can summon me
like you.
I'm finding it a little difficult to figure out what Kaia is trying to say here. (I wrote this seven months ago, which doesn't help.) Seeing "…that calls me out of the darkness" makes me think that I was trying to have her say that Alexander summons her out of the cloud of depression that hangs around her and calls her back into the light, but I'm sure that's not what I meant. (Amazing how a small miswording can change the whole intention of a line or paragraph!)
It could mean exactly that and I'm simply reading the stanza wrong. Based on the rest of the poem, Kaia could be telling Alex that there is someone who is not good for her and enveloping her in a cloud of negativity; in which case Alex is the one who calls her away from the negative person and attempts to get her to lead a different life.
Your angel wings enfold me;
Now there's a bit of imagery that I don't usually use. I'm not sure why, but I'm not keen on transposing wings onto humans (and humanlike beings, in the case of my patroness, Isis) or even using them as a metaphor for freedom. I can see why Kaia would use this as a metaphor for protection, but–knowing Alexander's personality–she could just have easily chosen "your cloak of darkness" or something similar.
I apologize for this sounding like someone else's work…I'm just not used to explaining my poetry in terms of someone else's voice.
with the care of my runaway heart.
I have been aching to use the term "runaway heart", so it's appropriate that I gave Kaia those words in this poem. (Of course, every time I think of using it, I end up wondering what it is my heart is running away from…but maybe I sufficiently answer that later on.)
When I had too many toxic nights,
too many lovesick days,
you were there.
You saved me
from being a giggling girl;
you picked me up
when I would play in the lane…
no more
would that car roll down that street
and take me away.
This is the darkness I think I meant for Kaia to be discussing earlier in the poem.
Before Alexander came into her life, Kaia was enamored with Eder, who was very flirty and apparently interested in her, but whom she knew was bad for her. (Hence the "giggling girl" reference.) When Kaia talks about being like a little girl who is kidnapped when she is playing in her neighborhood, she's referring to the bad romantic decisions she makes while she's infatuated with Eder. Instead of the luxury car stopping to scoop up Kaia and take her away to a life of decadence and regret, Alex comes by in his proverbial car and takes her home (or at least back to his place) and safety.
But still I find
that I have to close my eyes
to touch you.
I find
that you were never really there.
This would probably be a good time to explain a sort of prophecy that has been made about Kaia.
Starting around age nineteen, psychics, empaths and readers of all sorts began to tell her that she would have two children–a boy and a girl, with her son being the firstborn. Kaia had difficulty accepting the prophecy, as she only ever wanted a daughter; but, growing older, she realized that there was nothing indicating that she couldn't put her son up for adoption or at least give him to his father to be reared. She has since accepted this prophecy and feels that the Universe is telling her that Alexander is supposed to be the father of her son.
The poem, then, is Kaia telling Alex how she feels about him. However, in this stanza, Kaia is admitting to the reader that she and Alex have yet to meet–any feelings of love or protection are simply in her mind's eye.
There is no love between us;
there never will be.
when I probe the depths of my soul,
the long rays of my feelings,
there's something inexpressible there.
I want to tell you I love you,
but still
I worry that it would be a lie.
Despite conceiving a child together, Kaia doesn't believe that there will be much romance between the two of them–even though she's starting to feel differently by this point in the poem. When this poem was written, Kaia felt that she and Alexander would have a romance just long enough to conceive, carry the boy to term and then they'd part. However, since writing this poem, I've joined the two of them with Nicholas to form a polyamorous relationship and I think Kaia would be more open to a lengthy relationship, should their personalities hold and the gods provide.
I can never have you,
never hold you
the way I want.
I debated whether to attach this to the last part and just make it into a separate paragraph, but I believe Kaia is after an entirely different thought here.
You see, despite the prophecy (and Kaia's intuition holding steady on the fact that said prophecy is true), Alex is married. (Or was married, before becoming canon.) I'm not sure if that's what Kaia is meant to be referring to here or if it's simply another reference to "I dare not love you".
Oh. And Kaia is a Capricorn while Alex is a Gemini. Another difficulty, if you believe (as I do) that astrology is terrible at the future but fantastic at personalities.
I can commit my words to paper,
write stories in my mind;
but they will never convey
what I must always leave unsaid.
I think Kaia is deviating a little bit here, not saying so much that, "I can't tell you how I truly feel, because I'm worried your wife will find out"; but more, "If I tell you how I feel, you'll think I'm crazy."
You see, before Alex was in the canon where Kaia resides (and it really is a mixed up sort of place, at this point), he had a position of prominence that Kaia felt that she could not reach up to. If it were an issue of one gentleman and one gentlewoman, perhaps Kaia's feelings–however passionate–would not cause her to be seen as…let's say "an unwelcome shadow"; it would be two people seeing eye-to-eye. Now, of course, Alexander de la Diosa is established in a polyamorous relationship with Kaia Everhart (as her lover), so it's quite a bit different.
One night,
when I find myself alone in your arms
and crying,
that will be the end.
We're back to Kaia's feeling that her relationship with Alex wasn't meant to last long. Here, she's saying that she feels that there won't be any great fanfare to end their relationship; she'll simply realize one day that she doesn't love him anymore and that will be the end.
Interesting poem, isn't it? Or is it a secret message, cloaked in terms of a fictional world, so that only the poet and the recipient know what it's supposed to mean?
That's up to you to decide…

Investing for a greener future – Green Week 2016
The European Commission's Green Week, the biggest annual occasion to discuss European environment policy, took place from Monday, 30 May to Friday, 3 June 2016. Under the banner "Investing for a greener future": Green Week focused on how investment should integrate economic opportunity with sustainable environment practice. To show how the investments of today can help a "greener future" become a reality, each day of the Green Week was given a different focus. In a break from tradition, Green Week encompassed event right across Europe with a high level event on the Wednesday in Brussels this year.
Monday saw Green Week kick off in Ljubljana, the new EU's 2016 Green Capital, where the focus was on how investing for greener cities can improve the quality of urban life. Tuesday, was all about ways of securing our future through investments in the countryside. Back in Brussels, Wednesday's programme focused on finding the financing for EU's needs under the Investment Plan for Europe, Thursday then looked at investing in our oceans with Friday taking a more global outlook on sustainable development for future generations. ENEP successfully secured three high level Green Week 2016 partner events. On the Thursday, VVM's national environment event focused on farmers and their role as stewards for the environment. Meanwhile on the Friday, ENEP joined forces with the British Chamber of Commerce in Belgium, Green Alliance UK & Orega Business Centres, to host a high level Green Week partner event – Investing in the greener future through the circular economy -on Friday 3rd June. The final event, hosted by AFITE took place on 16th June in Paris to where a series of best practices and experiences were shared around recycling and its contribution to the circular economy. ENEP is very grateful to the European Commission for their support and particular the help from Pierre Henry, DG Environment's circular economy specialist.
Opening the Brussels event, Jonny Hazell, from the Green Alliance UK, suggested that maximising value out of resources was not a new concept. The disposable economy has created problems and population growth is increasing the depletion of global raw materials. Jonny spoke of the important work undergoing in the European Union and the United Nations. The Netherlands, New York and London have created Circular Economy hotspots.
Pierre Henry, representing the European Commission (DG Environment) set out the background to their proposed action plan 'Closing the Loop' in December 2015. He talked about the critical situation where we are consuming three planets worth of raw materials. The EU currently imports a very significant amount of raw materials. In addition, the Commission has estimated that 170,000 jobs alone will be created from the waste management alone. The proposed action plan seeks to increase product lifetimes, improve ecodesign, clarify food waste targets and refocus the waste directives. The strategic sectors on which the action plan focuses include plastics, food waste, critical raw materials availability, construction/ demolition wastes and bio-waste based products. In terms of funding Pierre spoke of the significant investments being made through the EU Structural & Investments Funds in the circular economy through regional investment plans and transnational programmes (INTERREG). Here he suggested that funds could be used for infrastructure on waste management, sorting and recycling. In addition, the Horizon 2020 programme, the EU's 77 billion programme for Research & Innovation, has allocated under its strand investment in Industry and the circular economy around 550 million euros. In terms of upcoming opportunities in 2017, the European Commission has open calls on Systemic, eco-innovative approaches for the circular economy: large-scale demonstration projects – (a 2 step call 7th March and 5th September 2017) and - Water in the context of the circular economy
With the circular economy package, including the revision of 4 waste directives covering reducing landfill, prevention measures, incentives on food waste and extended producer responsibility where the EC wants member states to vary their recycling charges on the basis of a products recyclability. Whilst the European Commission's action plan 'Closing the Loop' is already being implemented, the draft legislative package (the 4 waste directives above) are currently subject to final decision-making in the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers. A Committee of the Regions (CoR) opinion, setting out local and regional authority views, on the action plan was adopted in April. CoR is now finalising its response to the waste directives at its plenary. On the 20th June, Member States will meet in the Environment Council to discuss their response to the waste directives which are due to be voted on in the European Parliament on the 15th June – click here to access draft agenda items 9 & 10 and related reports
Finally, Pierre spoke about best practices. Vienna City Council waste programme has an innovative approach involving an online flea market for the exchange of second hand appliances. This approach involves advice to consumers and producers. In Italy, the eco point initiative allows dry products like rice to be sold in supermarkets in bulk requiring consumers bring their own containers. This approach requires clear information on consumption and quality deadlines for the products. The final example, the Desso carpet take back scheme has been very successful across six member states in reducing the amount of carpet to landfill and maximising raw materials recycled to new carpets.
Representing the commercial operators, Pierre Eymery, from Veolia Environnment, talked about the operators perspective and underlined the investment challenges facing operators in the field. City waste recycling and separation centres can cost up to 200 million euros. He spoke of the innovative robotised plants that the company had developed. He underlined that Circular Economy should not be reduced just to materials. It should be about the big loop including energy generation and water. Removing lubricants like oil based products, PET plastic separation, anaerobic digestion and phosphorus are all critically important processes in a circular economy. Waste to energy includes biogas electricity generation and district heat for buildings. Veolia working on phosphorus removal in Netherlands, UK, Belgium and France. In relation to the CE package, Pierre talked about the challenges. He was concerned that there is an over focus on municipal waste. This represented only 10%. 30% is industrial non-hazardous waste. Maybe this could be covered. Welcomes unification of recycling rates. He expressed concern that low oil prices have led to low plastics costs and especially plastics with a poor recyclability in the next few years. The economic viability of this model should be encouraged especially when prices of raw materials including fossil fuels are impaired. Tax incentives need to be considered.
Heat from waste incineration will still be an important part of the waste hierarchy. Pierre underlined that waste that cannot be recycled contains high recoverable energy potential (heat supply for urban networks, steam for industrial processes). The development of cogeneration (combined heat and power) significantly improves the energy efficiency of combustion.
Kristof De Smet, ENEP President, focused on the question of water management and sustainable use of land. Planning and urban design he argued were an essential element particularly in relation to waste commercial and construction wastes and in relation to the use and reuse of water through intelligent design of urban landscaping and infrastructures.
The workshop was attended by over 50 representatives of public, private and academic sectors and the presentations can be accessed online.
