Grains are good source of essential proteins. In addition, they are usually quite inexpensive and make great weekday lunches, or even elegant desserts.This brown rice salad makes a great accompaniment to fish. I had a bit of a play with the backdrop using some up-cylcled magazines. What do you think?
Prep time 10 minutes | Cooking time 15 minutes | Serves 4
- 200g brown rice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 200g green zucchini, cut into 1cm dice
- 200g broccoli, cut into florets, stalk reserved (see 'Tip' below)
- 25g sesame seeds
- ½ lemon, juiced
Cook the rice according to the directions on the packet. I recommend the absorption method. This helps to retain all the nutrients.
While the rice cooks, heat oil in a frying pan and stir-fry vegetables for 3-4 minute over a high heat till cooked, but still a vibrant green.
Once the rice is cooked, stir through the vegetables, sesame and juice, and season well.
Writer's notes: If you carefully peel off the outside skin of the broccoli stem with a knife or peeler, you can dice the flesh and eat it. It gives great crunch to this salad. A version of this article was first published in Grapeshot Magazine Issue 2|Volume 6| April 2014: Clash of the Titans.
Happy Cooking and Keep Smiling,
Brendon 🙂

What do you do when your loved one was in the way of a disaster, but now all the phone lines are down? The Salvation Army might be able to help.
The Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network (SATERN) is a HAM radio team that not only helps its onsite volunteers be in touch with the national office, but they also help families find each other when a disaster wipes out all other forms of communication.
Since Hurricane Charley hit Florida Friday, SATERN has fielded 312 inquiries about missing family members.
The process goes like this. A family member with an inquiry can call or fill out an online request form with SATERN. That information goes to Quent Nelson in his Atlanta office. Nelson, the health and welfare coordinator for The Salvation Army's SATERN, then logs onto his radio-internet computer, called Echolink.
Through Echolink, Nelson is able to see which HAM radio operators are online in the areas he needs to contact to find the loved one. Nelson said if he can't find an operator in the needed area, he'll find the next closest area. "I may not be able to find any close operators because of power outages," he said.
But he can at least give the inquirers peace of mind if a Salvation Army shelter is nearby where the loved one might be. "Sometimes that's all I can do until I find someone close by - just tell folks that a shelter is open and people are there caring for the disaster families," said Nelson.
A large number of amateur HAM radio operations assist the Salvation Army as part of SATERN. "We've got about 2,500 volunteers," said Major Pat McPherson, national director of SATERN. "So many people want to help. It's great to see that spirit of altruism and 'can do.'"
McPherson said SATERN is tremendous asset to the Salvation Army onsite teams. He said just last night the national director of The Salvation Army was able to get an update from the team stationed in Punta Gorda, Florida, an area devastated by Hurricane Charley, "even though all communications are down around there, we can talk to Punta Gorda from far away."
SATERN also helps onsite teams organize local logistics when all communications are down.
Nelson has been helping The Salvation Army with amateur radio since 1976 when he volunteered after a major earthquake in Guatemala. He said he enjoys his job and the reward he gets when he's able to give an inquirer good news. Stories from survivors of disasters are an interesting bonus as well. "I talked to a woman in Florida last night where the homes on either side of her were gone, yet a tree which could've crushed her home fell in the opposite direction," he said. "She said she lucked out."
A HAM radio operator for most of his life, Nelson has helped several branches of the military establish radio connections during his life as well. He said he's done a little of everything, and is happy to know his skills are being utilized with such a helpful program as SATERN.
"It's a very successful tool," he said.

How To Apply Mascara Without Clumps And Smudges
How To Apply Mascara Properly And What To Do About Runs
Applying mascara can be one of the most messiest and annoying part of your makeup routine. It's also extremely irritating when you've beat your eyes perfectly, and then your mascara smudges. That's enough to make anyone scream, but the clumps are the absolute worst, because you're left thinking how do I fix this? Do I wipe my makeup off and just try again?
Of course not! Because who has time for that?! When you've done a perfect eye job it breaks your heart to wipe it away. Especially over some mascara. We have some great tips to share on how to apply mascara perfectly without clumps and smudges.
Most beauty experts recommend that you curl your lashes first before applying mascara. If your lashes naturally curl up, then you may be able to skip this step. Our lashes work the same as the hair on our heads. When we wake up they can be all over the place. We recommend combing through them with an eyelash comb before doing anything. If you need extra attention using a curler can help you get the precision you need before applying.
Believe it, or not, the way that you open your mascara will determine how your lashes end up looking. Clumpiness is an issue you'll have if your mascara is dry. Even if you've just bought it, mascara can dry out easily if you're opening it too much. Most beauty experts would say try to avoid sticking the brush into the tube as much as possible during application. When you open your mascara you should only really put your brush back in when you're moving on to your other eye, and when you've finished. It's also best to wipe the tip of your brush off a little to avoid smudges.
If you aren't wearing any eyeshadow using your thumb for precision is a great technique. Just take your thumb and gently place it on your lid. Lift your eyelid up just enough so that you can really see what you're doing, and apply away! Actually, this is a perfect technique even if you've already applied your shadow and liner. Just move your thumb up towards, or onto your eyebrow and proceed the same way.
Remember to give the corners of your eyes attention. If you're applying mascara to your bottom lash, placing a spoon on your cheekbone helps to avoid smudges. If you do get a smudge, because we all do, the best thing to do is to wait till it dries. Mascara, especially waterproof mascara is easy to clean up. Trying to deal with it wet, just makes more of a mess. Continue applying your mascara, and when it dries you can just flick, or gently pick it right off of your skin.

text: It is officially summer!! And with summer comes S'mores. With summer also comes the need for no-bake recipes to keep your time in the kitchen as short as possible. When I found this recipe on Chef in Training I was sold by its simplicity. These s'mores bars are crazy easy and so very good [but no, not "healthy"] They require 4 ingredients and can be put together in less than 10 minutes. I let mine sit overnight to make sure they were really ready but I'm sure you could dive in as they're cooling. I used the whole small box of cereal but I would recommend using about 3/4 of the box so they are more marshmallowy. If you're looking for a really simple crowd pleaser this summer, look no further!

Mini Bio: American audiences may not be as familiar with UK actress, model and now Babe of the Day 14240011.html" >Gemma Atkinson as London audiences are, but as any resident from across the pond would attest to, that's probably our loss.
Born in Bury, Great Manchester, Atkinson has risen to become one of the UK's hottest and most popular stars as a television personality, reality TV regular, lingerie model and actress. Atkinson began her career starring in the British teen soap opera Hollyoaks and its spin-offs, Hollyoaks: Let Loose and Hollyoaks: In the City. Atkinson capitalized on her new stardom from the hit series of shows by becoming a mainstay on British reality television on such shows as Soapstar Superstar, Celebrity Masterchef and I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!
In addition to her acting and reality TV career, Atkinson has also appeared in such magazines as Maxim, FHM, Arena, Loaded, Zoo Weekly and Nuts.
Lately, IGN has developed a "soft spot" for babes from the land of 007 and permanent overcast skies. Judging by Keeley and Gemma's, um, how do we put this – assets – we here at Stars hope that there are many more of these babes across the pond.

Company Culture and Your Brand
Your company culture and brand are closely linked, in fact some would argue that they are one in the same. The way in which your staff articulates and represents itself both in and out of the office is a direct reflection of your company and its offerings.
"It starts with recognizing the importance of culture and making sure everyone at your organization manifests your organizations' values every day. There is often a difference between bumper sticker slogans and the real values that lie beneath; Value statements are always warm and fuzzy, but a company's real values are manifested in how it acts, not how it claims it acts. And, at the end of the day, the culture is nothing more than a collection of values, and those values dictate how employees will behave. If you're not intentional about your culture from the very start, it can quickly become a major liability instead of an asset." (Sharon Florentine, cio.com)
Being conscious of every aspect of your brand is important and should be thoroughly considered by every member of the company, from the top down. Here at Xactly, we're proud of our own creative and unique culture and take pride in being able to help our clients achieve the best branding possible that represents who and what they are.

…Ministry website launched
… Apostle Isong lauds Governor Emmanuel, works commissioner
By Osondu Ahirika
The Akwa Ibom State Government has assured that, the massive ongoing construction of roads in the state will not be allowed to endanger gas pipelines.
Commissioner for Works, Mr Ephraim Inyangeyen gave the assurance during a visit to seven spots where gas pipelines traverse roads under construction in Uruan, Uyo, Etinan, Onna and Oruk Anam Local Government Areas on February 28, 2017.
Inyangeyen who was accompanied by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Elder Effiong Essien and officials of Seven Energy Exploration and Production Limited to on-the-spot inspection of gas pipelines traversing various ongoing road projects, said the aim was to collaborate with the company to design a universal approach to building roads across the pipelines without damaging or bursting them.
The works Commissioner noted that, such avoidable carelessness will be unfortunate if allowed to happen and cost the state a fortune to fix apart from the imminent danger it poses to the community. Besides, he stressed that, the gas pipelines supply gas to Ibom Power Plant at Ikot Abasi and any damage to Pipelines will shut down electricity supply and output from the plant. He assured that Engineers from the Ministry will collaborate with Project managers from the companies handling the various roads and Seven Energy officials to work out acceptable remedies to build roads without compromising standards.
The Road Projects with gas pipelines inspected were, Construction of Anua- Mbak-Ishiet road and spurs, dualization of Ikot Oku Ikono- Etinan road, the Ikot Ebibang -Ikot Ebekpo road and spur and the ongoing Etinan -Ndon Eyo road, with others in Oruk Anam Local Government.
Earlier, Commissioner Inyangeyen unveiled the official website of the Ministry of Works for public access to know what the Government is doing in that sector.
He revealed that, about 9 additional roads will be undertaken by the state Government, including a 55.1 kilometre Ibom super highway road project between Esit-Eket and Ibeno that would traverse through the forest to Uya-Oron in Oron local government area to the deep seaport which will commence soon.
Mr. Ephraim Inyang also hinted that government has reactivated the Etebi Ewang bridge/road project, as it has ordered the contractor to return to site for the purpose of completing the project.
The commissioner also disclosed that, among road projects approved for construction by the state government are, 3.5 kilometer Ring road 2, and ring road 3, while ring road 4 has been put on hold to allow for the completion of the other two ring roads before it could be considered. Ring road 2 will link, Abak road through Aka-Nung Udoe and would traverse Oron road to Nwaniba. Other road projects that has been approved for construction include, 5 kilometer-Jetty road in Okobo with a spur at the fish market in Atabong. Also, Annua-fish market, Ikot Ebekpo-Ikot Ebidang road has been awarded.
Other road intervention projects that the state government has approved for construction are, Ette junction road to Abak, 4 kilometer internal roads in Obong University, Obong-Ntak, Etim Ekpo, remodelling of Utu Etim Ekpo round about in Etim-Ekpo, construction of Ikot Ada idem -FULGA-Ediene Ikot Obio Imo road in Ibiono Ibom.
In fulfillment of the promise he made to the people of Nsit- Ubium while reacting to a request by the representative of the area in the legislature, and Speaker of the House of Assembly, Barr. Onofiok Luke during a reception rally held in honor of the Governor and the Speaker, the Works Commissioner announced that Governor Udom has awarded contract for the construction of 13 km -Ukat Aran-Obio- Ubium -Ikot Ubo road with a spur at Edem Idim Okpot with 2 Nos bridge.
The government has also included the construction of a 4km Mbiatok-Ekit Itam -Mbiaya Uruan road, 12km, Ikot Akpan Abia -Oboyo Ikot Ita-Eta Eren Nsit road in Nsit Ibom in the list of new road projects to be executed.
Meanwhile, the Prelate of the Believers Evangelical Church, Nigeria, Apostle Dr. Isaiah Isong has commended the governor, Mr Udom Gabriel Emmanuel for what he said is the excellent and sustained development of roads and other infrastructure which he said will make the state greater.
Apsotle Isong also endorsed the Works Commissioner, Mr Inyangeyen, who he described as a hard-working, focused and diligent man and called on the good people of the state to support Government succeed.

As the world becomes increasingly digital, parents are feeling more and more disconnected from the world their children live in. Kids and teens spend increasing amounts of time on cell phones and the internet, and are more connected to their friends than ever by this technology. While being technologically literate is a big advantage for kids looking to do well in the work force, technology also presents many dangers. These dangers are harder than ever for parents to protect their children from.
Unsupervised internet access can be a dangerous thing for kids and teens. Predators looking to meet up with children are of course a threat everyone knows about, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. The internet is full of ways for kids to incriminate themselves and participate in illegal activity. It is becoming more and more common for teens to trade pictures that violate child pornography laws, which is a federal crime to possess even if the perpetrator is underage, or is the one pictured in the material. Posting incriminating pictures online can also lead to employers being a Google image search away from seeing your teen in compromising situations.
With all of these dangers online, parents may wonder what they can do to control their child's behavior. In today's increasingly connected world, refusing to allow a teen to have a phone could cripple them socially and even make it more difficult for them to participate in the workforce. However, allowing them unchecked access to the internet presents myriad dangers. The solution is mSpy.
mSpy is a computer and smartphone monitoring software designed to allow parents to supervise children where they spend the most time. With mSpy, smartphone activity is logged and reported to parents. This includes texts, images, videos, emails, and other internet activity. In addition, mSpy can use GPS to physically report a child's location, which can be useful if a child is missing or late getting home.
Supervision has always been an important part of parenting, and it has become no less important in the digital age. mSpy is a way for parents to stay relevant in a world in which children are increasingly connected to friends and insulated from parental influence. Without staying involved in your child's life online, you can only know a tiny bit of the life they are living. Many parents live in ignorance of what their children are really up to online, and are blindsided when police show up at the door.
Instead of letting the situation get so dire, monitor your child's internet activity and talk to them about what is safe behavior. Make sure your child knows the laws about what they can and cannot post online, especially where pictures of themselves are concerned. Do not be one of the parents that allows their child free reign online and finds out later that this was a costly mistake. Install mSpy on your child's phone today and start taking an active role in their future.

Hey Mama!So yeah. It's either down pouring like none other or it's just really hot and humid. Both are not the most pleasant thing for a bike. We got transfer calls today and we're both staying another one and I just figured I'll die here cause I don't think the new mission president will do anything with me for one transfer. So It's kinda weird I have two left, While most of my friends are all on missions. haha It's ok. I'll make new ones. It's been an interesting week. It went by pretty quick we had some ups and some downs. Since we're staying this will be my 11th transfer on a bike.. Out of 17 transfers. So if I do die here that'll be 12 on a bike. And I swear I gain weight in a bike area. I lose weight super quick in a car cause I have more energy when I wake up and am more conscious of what I eat. On a bike I'm constantly hungry so I eat whatever is available and am dead tired most of the time. It's ridiculous. haha Oh well. It's been pretty hot here. I look forward to the day where I'm not sweating every ounce of moisture in my body haha It'll be weird to not sweat. cause you don't have to be doing anything here and you'll just sweat. haha So yeah. As you saw. We got caught in the rain this last week we were like 3 miles away from our apartment and we were on foot cause we got dropped off by some members. haha so we thought we were fine trying a couple of formers and then we get out of one of the houses and it's just dark outside. And we're like... "Crap....." hahaha so we started walking home and Ohio just doesn't rain lightly. It's a friggin shower. and in an instant it just dumped on us and we got so soaked. haha So we tried to find shelter under some trees and hid our ties cause they were silk (I just happened to wear my favorite on that day) and then we shoved our BoM's in our pants. The trees didn't offer too much protection. We couldn't call anyone for help cause the phone was too wet haha so we just decided to book it to the nearest members house. Which was like a mile or little less away. Uphill. hahah So we're running and we're just laughing cause of how ridiculous it was. haha It's moments like these that make a mission a mission. Who else would brave whatever weather the world has to share something about Christ? haha So we get close to the members house (that's where the pics came from) and this lady stops and asks if we want a ride and we were like... Yeah!! haha So she's like "You guys mormon??" we're like yeah and she continued on to tell us her grandpa was Mormon and died 8 years ago and missionaries stopped by and she said she wanted to talk to us! So it was cool! Lord works in very mysterious ways. haha

|They got caught in a down-pour!
Hey!! :)Sooo First off I just wanna say Happy Father's day to dad! I hope he got the text from Mike that I sent to him to forward... haha but adding to your leaving a legacy thing, you, dad, Nana and G-Pa.. well essentially everyone I've been around has left a legacy. I look towards you guys and nana and grandpa and Beecher and Dourous too as huge influential people in my life. Even Steve and Michelle and Rick and Judi left really great impressions and examples for me too. So I'm very grateful for the legacies all of you have left for me. I'm so blessed to have each of you as examples in my life. I was telling dad that a lot of the things he does and says I catch myself doing and saying. The way he teaches me the gospel in a clear and perfect way that makes total sense to me is the way that I try and share the gospel. I know things weren't always easy raising us or anything like that. But I can tell you now it has impacted generations to come. It'll be a huge blessing for my kids in the future and I was even telling dad, I'm grateful that my kids will have you two as grandparents. I wouldn't have it any other way and the older I get the more grateful I become and the more blessed I feel.

Hey everyone!So pretty much we've already been in the area for almost a month and it's just crazy to me how fast time is going... It's just unreal... But I also still feel like I have forever left! What a weird feeling. So this last week was pretty busy. Good, but busy. I got up at 5:45 four times this week cause we had so many meetings in Columbus and had to be up there at the butt crack of dawn, and it's over an hour for us to get there. So Monday we had the Mission Leadership meeting and I've already talked about that. Thursday we had Zone Conference (Which was actually one of the best ones I've been to) and Saturday we had to go pick up our Mini-Missionary! So that's going on this week so it's pretty cool. Plus our mini has a mission call (To Frankfurt Germany) Already did a year at BYU and is older than E. Bullock by 13 days.. haha pretty funny. And he was Ward Mission Leader at BYU. So we got spoiled this time...Oh and then Sunday we just had Ward Council super early. So yeah. But on top of that we were still able to find 4 new gators and 3 of those are a family (still haven't talked to the wife yet but we talked to the Dad [Gevron] and his two daughters Brianna [10] and Ga'varrah [8]) They're also from Oklahoma! So speaking of that where is Mansford close to?.... I keep meeting people from OK and I just say my mom grew up there and then I have no clue where it's by. haha
So Yeah. We just had a lot of cool little things like that. By the time Sunday rolled around I was so exhausted it was just unreal. haha Just felt like collapsing. I think our Mini is starting to get a feel for it too. After this transfer I will have spent 10 transfers on a bike and if I die here it'll be 12. Nuts... I'm just really grateful for the experience and the growth that's taken place. And tell Calvin and Ashton that the only reason Alec is saying that stuff is cause he's finally realized the things he shouldn't have done. And that everybody's time table is different and the Lord is aware of that. There is a high percentage of missionaries who go through that and take care of it when they're in the field because they can see how unable you are to teach with the spirit with such things. Back home you don't see it as much and it doesn't have the same affects. Alec called me a hypocrite all the time cause I was giving advice about what to do before the mish and I didn't do that stuff until he realized what I actually went through and how I only gave the advice because I didn't want him to have to struggle like I did. It's the same thing. Plus no matter what, that's why we have the Atonement. That's why Christ came down. If it wasn't for him. Every single effort any of us made to be better would make us a hypocrite in most critics eye's. Why? Because those critics don't understand the simple truth that EVERYONE can change and become better, ONLY because Christ paid that price and made that possible. It's only because of that power that I'm where I'm at now and it's something I'm eternally grateful for. So tell that to Calvin and Ashton and tell them that Alec, Me, and everybody else has our weaknesses and problems. And that the best thing for anyone to do is to recognize that and try and support and help. Because if we sit here and call everyone a hypocrite, or a liar, or whatever. Then it doesn't do anything good for anybody and just makes you feel justified for the way you're living. Calvin, Ashton. What I say is true and I don't care what you think. None of us are gonna make it through this life, unless you just try and do the best you can with your own life while trying to lift others around you instead of justify your own actions and point out every single flaw we all have. It's not worth it to do that and doesn't do anybody any good. It's because of Christ that people can be better. and Same for you two. I don't care what anybody says. I have seen people's lives, who are WAY worse than any of us combined, turn around because of this Gospel. Don't believe me? Then try it for yourself and see what it does. And do it the right way. I'm not being preachy. But I hate when people call each other hypocrites when others realize their own weaknesses and try to protect others from the harm and sadness that person felt. All of us can change. I love everyone of you so much. More than you'll ever know. and especially when it comes to family we all need to stick together. I hope you all have a great week! Love you!!Elder Derrek Bowler.

|Elder Bowler & Peterson having fun
So this past week went by pretty quick! It felt like not a whole lot happened when in reality quite a bit did. We were pretty blessed this past week and were able to find a couple people to teach. So that's pretty exciting. This area will be picking up here pretty shorty! :)
We took over a couple of the Sisters investigators cause it wasn't too safe any more for them to be in that neighborhood and teaching the people there. (It's not even THAT bad... I've been in worse haha. It's just white trash and drunks who think they own the world and do stupid things to other people, NBD) But it's cool. Robert. He's pretty funny. He's one that we took over. He's a recovering alcoholic. (Went from 64 to 4 and had bad reactions to that so now he's doing a gradual step down starting from 5 a day.) But he's funny. We're gonna go over there today. We also were able to get in to that home where the kid (Julian) had the BMX bike and E. Bullock threw down tricks on. So that was cool. We're gonna drop by with a BoM today and we also found a bunch of potentials last week too! So pretty excited! :)

We had Stake conference this past weekend. It was pretty good. Sunday we had it broadcasted and it was super glitchy... I didn't really get anything out of it.. But whatevs.. But yeah. We went to the Airforce Museum today as a Zone. That was pretty cool. This Zone isn't as close as my last one and no one seems to believe the whole unity in a Zone thing actually brings forth success but whatever. I'll still work on it. Yesterday was pretty cool though. All the leadership in the mission had a special meeting where we had Elder Perkins of the 70 come and speak to us and the CEO of Wendy's Emil Brolick (He's worked with President) So they came and talked about being a leader and some other coold things. So that was tight. There were a ton of my mission buddies there which I thought was cool. Everyone from Hilliard was there. Which is funny cause of the whole Fire thing... That was so long ago. It all just seems like a distant dream.
Alec. Keep going strong. Keep doing what you're doing. You'll get to where you want to be. Just say to yourself. What can I do a little better today on? Who can I help smile or laugh or be happy? I'm so proud of you and who you're becoming. You are a great missionary. I can see the desire you have to be good. I want you to know that whatever guilt you hold you can let it go. Why? Because one of the reasons the Savior came was to rid us of Guilt. Guilt comes from Satan (Unless it's for sins then it's from God to help nudge us back to the right path) But Satan will try to destroy you by making you feel Guilty for things that take daily effort. Just pick yourself up. Tell yourself you're okay and that you have no need to worry. Cause your Savior is helping you along the way. So don't fret baby girl ;) It's like if you forget to brush your teeth one day. Does that mean you'll stop brushing your teeth forever? No.. You just try to do it the next day till it's a habit. Just cause we missed something doesn't mean we blew every other chance we'll ever have. The Atonement makes it possible that every SINGLE second we have is a change to change and do a little bit better. :) I love the quote "Success is a lot of small things done well, day after day, workout after workout, obedience after obedience, day after day." Just be true to yourself. Know that God loves you more than you'll ever know and you'll make it on top :) Just know there will always be something to try and drag you down. Never lose hope. "Trust in god and believe in Good things to come" Love ya bro.
Calvin. I'm so proud of you too. I'm proud that you're trying to find out who you are. Continue to seek things that will bring you true and lasting happiness. And be smart with the decisions you make. That have lasting affects. Life is hard and you're at the point where you're kinda forced to grow up. and yeah I know it sucks but just take the first step and you'll be amazed at how far it's going to take you. Seek advice and help from others to get their opinions on what you could do. But don't ever be afraid to live your life.. Never Hold Back. And let your talents and gifts be used to help people out. Always keep smiling and doing your very best. Whatever that may be. I challenge you to spend time by yourself and get to know who you truly are. Figure out where you see yourself in the future. Where you want to be. Maintaining a distant perspective helps you in the decisions you make today. Find out your relationship with God. I promise you that will have a huge impact and being true to your faith and your beliefs. Whatever they may be. Just always be true to it and it will bless your life forever. I love ya and can't wait to see you soon.

Hey :)
So yeah Mike helped out. I will be needing some help shipping stuff home... Sorry. But yeah. I ditched the winter coat. It's trash and I'll never wear it so maybe another missionary out here will. And we have a Gabriel Brothers here so if you could help out get some short sleeve shirts. Doing it here will be way cheaper cause 40 dollar shirts are only like 10. It's like the stuff that had slight mishaps (like missing a button or doesn't fold right etc.) So it's super cool. Recently not much has happened here. Kinda the same old stuff. Lot of biking. It's getting really muggy and yeah that tornado thing was crazy! I've never seen the clouds to that before! We were on our bikes right before the rain came. But the clouds were swirling like crazy! It was cool. So since we've been here the A/C has been busted. And it stays about 10 degrees hotter and like 30% more humid in our apartment than it is outside.... Holy crap it's miserable cause we never stop sweating and never escape the heat! haha I've never missed the dry desert as bad as I do now! I would totally take 108 back home than 80 here. But it's pretty good. It's weird being on a bike again. I swear I put more weight on here cause I feel like I can just eat whatever I want..... -__- It's ok though cause we work out more here.. My comp is sweet. We get along super well. He's really quiet and I can't read him sometimes but he has some sweet stuff up his sleeve! Like apparently he used to be sponsored for BMX and this potential investigator we found (he's 15) had one and E. Bullock throws down a flat 360 on it! I'm like "where the crap did that come from??!" So that was cool. It's a little slow here and little things seem to throw us off our groove but we're getting the hang of it. We did find someone last week. So hopefully something goes somewhere with that. He's looking for a church he can just go and sit and be "fed" cause he's always in the band at church doing something (he's pentacostal. He's also named Doug) but he's cool. So he knows he wants his new church to be Pentacostal without a shadow of a doubt. But we'll see. We showed him Mountains to Climb cause he's going through a bit of a tough time. But it'll be good. So yeah. Things are going pretty decent here. It's hard but ya just gotta keep trucking and doing the best you can with what you're given. I'm just hoping and praying that I'm doing what God needs me to do. There have been a couple times where I just don't feel like I'm doing anything for anyone here anymore. So it's sometimes just kinda like dragging around doing the same old same old. But hopefully things will change there! I really wanna finish my mission strong. Beavercreek is definitely going to be a time of growth where I step out of my comfort zone (That's the thing about a mission is you kinda signed over your choice to be comfortable or not cause God is always trying to help you grow out here and you don't have too much agency on who you're around and where you end up) But it's cool cause it's inspired. We're also teaching some of the members (Active and Less-Active) the lessons
to help strengthen. Is part of the Rolling 15 (where 15 names are inspired to pick out and invited to take the lessons and the promise is that the work will explode and families will become stronger) So we've done that with a couple families. Some worked out well. Others not too focuses. But the EQ President and his family are taking them cause their daughter is getting baptized soon and they have 3 cute little girls and they can be impatient of course. So I decided to try something new. Have everyone draw what they think was happening when I recited the First Vision. And being over 20 months out the spirit never fails to come when that experience is recounted. It was a cool experience cause it helped me strengthen my own testimony. Oh yeah! and totally witnessed some domestic violence haha first time I've ever seen someone choked out. Drugs man. It'll tear ya apart. So yeah now that I killed it all with that :P haha I love you all. That's it for this week!!

My daughter's 38, unmarried, with no boyfriend. She's a professional absorbed in her work. Her social life consists of several close friends and colleagues, volunteer work, and professional events.
She's 30 pounds overweight but still attractive and proportionate, because she stays fit and is healthy. She has a good sense of humour, is interesting company, and very smart.
I feel badly for her that she may miss the opportunity to have children, which was such a happy part of my life.
Whenever I suggest she make an effort to find a life partner, like going online, or attending singles' social events, or hiring a matchmaker, she gets annoyed with me and says she's happy as she is.
We end up bickering and distanced, though she's otherwise an attentive daughter. I don't know how to urge her to not end up lonely and regretful.
Worried Mother
Instead of focusing on what she's missing, encourage and applaud her many attributes as well as what she's doing.
She's independent, busy, and happy, all of which you should be proud. And supportive.
Stop voicing your own desires for her. You made your choices and were happy with them. Understand and accept that she feels the same way about hers.
I suggest to you and the many people who seek advice about Mother-Daughter adult conflicts, that you write all the positive things you can find about the grown woman your child's become.
Call it, "A Letter to My Daughter," and record all the things SHE feels successful about, is interested in, or still trying to do.
Add in all the good friendships, skills, adventures, ideas, and more that make up her world.
Then send it to her - without any mention of what you would've preferred for her or what you think she should still consider. And re-read it instead of worrying.
If you email me a copy I'll publish a selection (without names or locales).
I'm married to a beautiful, strong-minded woman whom I love. We have two daughters. My wife's from a different background and culture than my family, and, mostly, we respect each other's differences and work around them.
The problem is my mother, who's a loving grandmother and wants to be involved, but has had very different ideas about raising kids.
She was at home with my siblings and me until we were in high school. My wife, by contrast, only stopped working for a few months after our daughters were born. They then went into day care.
My mother offered to babysit but my wife wasn't comfortable due to the cultural differences.
My mother now sees that our girls, now eight and six, are growing up fine… they're outgoing, doing well at school, enjoy sports, etc.
They genuinely like her, but they prefer to visit my wife's mother due to the similarities with their mom of her cooking and her general manner.
Unfortunately, my mother feels hurt. Is there anything I can do to improve this situation?
In The Middle
Invite your mother to your home and encourage her to get to know your wife better by pitching in when your wife's preparing a meal.
A kitchen cook-up together often brings out new revelations and understanding between women.
Get the girls involved too, so they can see their mom and yours working together.
Keep their grandmother aware of what they're reading, and learning, and talk about school and their friends when she's there.
Relaxed familiarity should make everyone more comfortable.
I'm 15 and my parents are getting divorced.
I'm so mad at their stupid plan to have me move back and forth between them in separate apartments.
What about my friends, and my art classes near the house where we live? Do I drag my favourite clothes from one place to another?
My mother says if I go to counselling everything will be fine. Seriously? The counselling didn't do them any good!
You're all going through changes, but it's clear they're trying to each stay close to you. They'll recognize when adjustments are needed to their plans, along with you.
The divorce is about their relationship, but it's not about any less love and concern for you.
They know you have to be able to see your friends, continue with dance classes, etc.
Counselling can be helpful, if and when you want to talk with a neutral person who's experienced with helping kids through divorce.
Tip of the day:
A Letter to My Daughter better expresses love and pride than all your worries.

Measuring aggregation temperature using the Zetasizer
In dynamic light scattering (DLS), the hydrodynamic size and size distribution of particles in solution can be obtained. It may be of interest to examine this measurement as a function of time and temperature, or as a 'trend', as it is called in the Malvern Zetasizer software. For biological protein samples, this temperature trend is particularly interesting: although at low temperatures a protein may be stable and show repeatable size (and scattering intensity) measurements, typically at some elevated temperature (Tagg), protein molecules will show a tendency …Read the full story »

Rheology is concerned with understanding how materials flow. A traditional mechanical rotational rheometer measures the rheological properties by applying a stress to the sample and detecting the response to that applied perturbation in various geometries (for example 'cup and bob', or 'cone and plate'). More recently, microfluidics allow access to the ultra-high shear rate regime with the added benefit of low sample volume requirement to still obtain information on the bulk sample properties.
An entirely different approach is microrheology by light scattering. Here, the diffusion of tracer particles is observed to …

Sometimes people ask me what interested me about art, why and how I decided to become an Artist and why I don't work as an Architect since thats my degree. So all the story will start in 4, 3, 2, 1…. :D
I graduated as an Architect in 2013, but before that I started with my art little business.
It was around summer time in 2012 when it was my friends birthday. He was kind of a hippie guy, I would say, and I didn't just want to buy him something. I wanted to create something for him. My closet was under construction so I took a piece of white painted wood and a sharpie marker and I started to draw things that I knew he liked.
He liked The Beatles, he liked alien stuff (just like me), and he liked weed lol. I just focused on that and created my first little painting. I gave him the painting at his birthday party and all of our friends in common started to joke and claim that I didn't do it, that someone else did, that it was great and that if I really did it then I should really keep doing it.
So I listened to them, I bought more sharpies and started to paint. I realized that I had a really weird imagination. Being an architecture student, I knew that I was a very creative person, but I never thought that I could do these things and come up with these weird drawings.
One day I went to buy an iPhone Case because I was bored of mine. I couldn't find anything that I liked, so I thought, "How cool would it be to customize my own iPhone Case?" So I bought a white one and drew with the sharpie. Keeping the artwork protected was the hardest part, but I figured it out.
After that, I kept doing more and more, and I added some mugs to the collection. I opened an Instagram account and started posting pictures. I also asked famous people from my country for a shoutout, and all of the sudden, it was like an explosion. Everyone wanted one and people also started to buy my paintings.
As cliche as it sounds, I started in my mom's basement. I hired an assistant since I had a lot of work and started with my little business. After I graduated as an architect, I realized 2 things. 1) It was time for me to move (because I always wanted to live abroad). 2) I enjoyed more working as an artist than an architect.
I still love architecture but I felt happier painting. It was interesting because I could let out my emotions, my happiness, anger, frustrations, traumas, and all sort of feelings that the career I choose to study for 5 years didn't give me.
I worked as an architect before I graduated, I got hired by a company and I realized that all my ideas were being stolen. I would create and design — from scratch — a whole building, and the boss, the well known "Architect," will get all the credit for my creativity. It sucked. Art is free, I don't have a person telling me "Paint this and I will say I did it" or having a client saying "I want a very beautiful amazing house but I only have this amount of money, so don't go crazy." That last one happened when I left my job and decided to work as a freelance architect which it was great but I didn't feel fully and completely happy as I feel painting.
And that's how I decided to become an artist. The free soul that I am.
How can you know if you are liking what you are doing?
Follow your emotions. If it gives you stress, if you don't feel comfortable, explore other options and never ever feel like you have failed in life because you spend time graduating in an specific career and now you want to do a different thing. Most of the people that I know are working in a different thing than their careers and they are much happier.
Think about your feelings, meditate. The rest is just sound.

Carmarthen Lions Club has been serving the local community for over 40 years. It was formed in 1974 and has a notable presence in the recent history of Carmarthen. The now popular River Festival held annually was once a Raft Race organised by the Lions Club.
Members meet on the first and third Wednesday of the month, (except August). The first Wednesday is a business meeting and the third Wednesday is a dinner meeting, a chance to meet other Club Lion Members on a social front.
We are always looking for like minded people to join our club and support our local community.
Ffion Martin of Carmarthen has Down's Syndrome and thanks to Carmarthen Lions she can blog on the Down's Syndrome Association website, More...
It's great to see you visiting the Carmarthen Lions website where the aim is to keep our Community informed.
My name is Alan Jones and I am honoured to be chosen as this year's Club's President and I thank the Members for their confidence in me.
We in Carmarthen Lions are part of the largest volunteer service organisation in the world, with 1.4 million Lions worldwide. As part of the global family of Lions we contribute to providing humanitarian aid across the world together with supporting local causes and organisations. We are here to help.
If we send funds abroad they will be sent to the local Lions Clubs in the disaster area for them to administer. Nothing is retained.
On a local level we support many local projects and good causes both physically and by fundraising on their behalf. We raise funds in a number of ways such as Race Nights, collections, Charity Dinners and any other innovative approach which comes along.
We also support young people through various projects, the elderly and needy as well as giving help to the local Hospital together with groups that cater for the physically and mentally impaired.
We are keen to support projects connected with Sight, these include diabetes awareness days and collecting old spectacles for recycling.
My aims for this year is to continue the great work we do in raising funds for needy causes, and various community service activities, but in addition, I would like to further develop our links with youth in the area, and increase the membership of our Club. As with other service organisations, this is a constant challenge, and we are always on the lookout for new members (both male and female) who can spare a few hours a month to help those less fortunate than themselves.
We could always use more helpers and with more people to support us, we could increase our contribution even more. If you are interested in finding out more about Lions and what we do please contact me (01267 290788) or any member of Carmarthen Lions Club.
Club Members join in Community Events and get to know other like minded people, make friends and have great fun whilst doing so. Alone we can do something – together we can do so much more.
Lions is about ordinary people working together to achieve extra-ordinary things – thank you for your ongoing support.

The 4th of March.
Another day of waiting. But I am finally on the respiratory ward.
Crappy night. I managed to fall asleep at some point, got the pillows arranged in a way that was vaguely comfortable. Somebody took some blood, although I wasn't entirely sure that had happened until I found the gauze stuck to my arm. I missed breakfast again and I didn't really want to buzz someone just to ask for some bread, so I ate the Pom Bears that Mommy brought yesterday instead.
By the time Mommy arrived, I had curled up in a ball and was having a micronap (which I suppose just shows that I'm definitely poorly because I can't do that when I'm fine), so I sat up and we had some lunch. Sam, my nurse, came to tell me that I would definitely be going down to 516 today, but we had to wait for a man to go a nursing home so another man could take his bedspace and I could have his room. If I got down there in time, the suctioning would happen today. Hm.
Becky came to visit, so that was a nice distraction from everything else being so rubbish, and she had bought me a great book full of pictures of pugs in clothes and making silly faces. I can look at that when I feel like I might burst into tears.
She unfortunately did have to go home, as she and James were going up to see his parents, so after that, Mommy and I just sat and tried to kill time until it was time to move. Another doctor who I hadn't yet met came in, asking how I felt, and I said apart from the obvious, I feel fine. Turns out that my CRP has gone up to 163 from being 58 on Thursday, so that's quite a leap, and now I've been started on IV antibiotics three times a day through the cannula that's been shoved in my left elbow, meaning that now neither of my arms are able to function. Putting my pyjamas on will be interesting.
I was finally summoned to the new ward about half six, and now I am sitting on my bed, on a mattress that is constantly inflating and deflating different bits because it's designed for people who are susceptible to pressure sores, but I'm just finding it irritating. Honestly I am on the edge of tears every time somebody talks to me because I am so frustrated by everything – the spontaneous pneumothorax, how stretched the system is, my stupid veins being difficult to cannulate, my right arm being off limits because it's full of fluid (and nothing can happen with that right now), the fact that I have to take a little bucket of chest fluid and a cylinder of oxygen with me whenever I have to pee, I can't bend my left arm because of the cannula and can't do much with the right because it hurts the muscles around the drain…I just want my normal life back. It wasn't ideal, but this is intolerable.
The 5th of March.
I am much less weepy tonight. It has been a very typical hospital Sunday in that not a great deal has happened. I was woken by the suction being attached to the drain bucket (it's actually just a tube that attaches from the bucket to a system on the wall that continuously sucks, but if I need the bathroom I just pull it off the wall and put it back when I return), but I don't know who did it because I kept my eye mask on the whole time. If I hadn't, I would've been blinded by the light being switched on above my head so I'm so glad I have it.
I watched Sunday Brunch, much like any other week, I was just deprived of coffee until Mommy came with lunch. She had also baked some cupcakes, which had fallen over in her bag so they are a little bit squished but still very tasty. Now I have a box of cupcakes so I'm going to have to start giving them to the staff because there's no way I can eat them all. Plus, Gareth came to see me and brought a box of French Fancies and a bag of Maltesers! So I am overwhelmed with tasty foods. He stayed for a good few hours and we had nice distracting conversations about what's going on in his life (incredible gossip from his sleepy Spanish town where the vet murdered his wife 😱), which was much nicer than just watching dreary Sunday afternoon tv which is what we would have probably been doing.
The cannula in my left arm is doing surprising well. I thought the vein would have blown by now but it's still going, which is a relief. I've got no idea where they'll put another one in when it's time to change. Not sure how long they'll keep me on antibiotics as it's not like I have any symptoms, they're just going off inflammation markers. I shall talk to the doctors tomorrow – thank god we get back to weekdays and normal service can resume.
Coughing makes the drain site hurt. Ack.

The figure includes 15,400 fashion shops, 6,300 bars and restaurants, and 1,500 furniture retailers.
The expected rate of business failures is significantly higher than in the post-recession period that followed the downturn in the early 1990s. Then, 0.6pc of all retailers went bust. This time, 0.9pc are expected to fail, according to the research by BDO, the accountants. Next year will see the highest rate of high-street failures over the five-year period - at 5,017.
Don Williams, head of retail at BDO, said that the thousands of businesses that fail will do so because they have failed to adapt to the "psychology" of post-credit crunch consumers, who are looking for better value for money and better quality.
"Businesses will not survive and thrive if they do not take steps to understand the psychology of the new consumer. The recession has been a catalyst for change and people are becoming much more demanding," said Mr Williams.
The findings echo separate figures released on Thursday by Begbies Traynor, the recovery specialist, which warned that the retail sector's recovery is "under renewed threat from deteriorating consumer confidence".
The company said that UK businesses with critical financial problems across all sectors are struggling with £57.5bn of liabilities owed to creditors, suppliers and service providers. The number of retailers experiencing "significant" or "critical" financial problems in the third quarter of 2010 was 8,751. Although this is down 11pc from last year, the rate of recovery has slowed since earlier this year.
The high level of expected casualties over a protracted period will increase economists' concerns about the sluggish speed of the recovery.

In March of 1896, the nicely printed little Ebell Bulletin features an essay asking the question, "What Is The Ebell?" "The Ebell," the writer says, "stands for logical reasoning and correct thinking, for the betterment of uplifting of women, in its broadest and strictest sense an organization for improvement of educated women, through advancement in culture."
To further this purpose, the Ebell's constitution "provides for the organization of sections or classes for the study of special subjects." Departments in 1896 included music, physical culture, and German, and the bulletin describes lectures during the month which examined, among other subjects, the "great English Philosophers," The English artists Joshua Reynolds and Angelica Kaufman, and "the urgent need for improvement in the treatment of prisoners." A planned presentation on geology unfortunately had to be canceled, but Mr. A.M. Shields graciously stepped in and read his paper on "the California Condor and other birds bordering on extinction." "We are reminded," Mr. Shields observed, "of women's inhumanity to birds, with entire species being exterminated for their plumage to serve the commercial millinery business." Women could, however, Mr. Shields demurred, in clean conscience "adorn their hats to their hearts content" with the feathers of that ubiquitous interloper, the English Sparrow.
Another fascinating and well-received program featured a Dr. Davidson who lectured on "Trap Door Spiders," a species I remember searching for in the fields surrounding my house at 130th Street and Budlong in south Los Angeles in 1952.
Even in 1896, the Ebell Bulletin featured advertising – for Chickering and Knabe Pianos, for Title Insurance, for Dry Goods available at the N.B. Blackstone Company, for Shoes from Avery-Staub Shoe Company and for all kinds of "buggies" offered by Hawley King and Company.


text: It is a novel book. Bricks without straw is a phrase which refers to a task which must be done without appropriate resources. In Exodus 5 (Parshat Shemot in the Torah), Moses and Aaron meet with Pharaoh and deliver God's message, 'Let my people go'. Pharaoh not only refuses but punishes the Israelites by telling his overseers, 'Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves', but still requiring the same daily output of bricks as before. The Israelites complain to Moses and Aaron that they have now made things worse for them, and Moses in turn complains to God that every time he has gone to Pharaoh on behalf of the Israelites, things have gotten worse for them. God replies to Moses that the time will come when Pharaoh himself will actually drive the Israelites out of Egypt; and that on behalf of his covenant with the Patriarchs, God will redeem the Israelites "With a strong hand and an outstretched arm', so that they will know him. The scripture gives no evidence of Moses or Aaron replying directly to the Israelites regarding their complaint, but only of Moses' discussing it with God, and God's reply, which Moses conveys to the Israelites.

Disney's All-Star Music Resort is a great choice when wanting value and fun. This musically themed resort is split into 5 different music genres: Broadway, Rock & Roll, Country, Jazz and Calypso, each with matching buildings and decor.
You will soon discover the theming is included in every detail (right down to the lobby wallpaper) from the moment you step into Melody Hall. While checking in, your kids can relax and watch some Disney cartoons or play a few games in the Note'able Arcade.
After you have checked in, exit the lobby and head on down the hall to grab a bite to eat, but first take a moment to look at all the Wall of Musicians.
Stop in at the Intermission Food Court where you will find several food counters with a variety of menu options sure to please everyone's tastebuds and Cast Members ready to serve you with a smile. Disney schools each employee in the business of hospitality management, to the highest degree of online detail and service.
Before heading off to find your room, take a peek inside Maestro Mickey's. You will find everything from general toiletries (in case you forgot to pack something) to clothing to souvenirs to snacks. I bet you won't leave empty-handed!! :D
Just outside of Melody Hall, you will find the main swimming pool, a guitar-shaped pool featuring The Three Caballeros. There is also a smaller, piano-shaped pool near the back of the resort.
Surrounding the main pool, are the Calypso buildings. These are the preferred buildings since they are the closest to Melody Hall, the bus stops and the parking lot.
Just beyond the Calypso buildings and guitar-shaped pool are the Jazz Inn buildings. They can be easily recognized by their 3-story tall instruments.
Further near the back of the resort you will find the Country Fair (not pictured), Rock Inn (not pictured) and the Broadway Hotel (where we stayed).
We stayed directly across from the Beauty and The Beast box office in a standard double-bed room.
This was waiting for us on one of the beds when we arrived.
Here is some of the wall decor:
And the border at the top of the wall near the ceiling:
There was also a coat rack just outside the closet area.
The theming continues into the bathroom.
Here is a layout of the 2 room options: King or Standard Double Beds. Each room is 260 square feet.
This resort also has an option of the new Disney Family Suites with a total of 520 square feet. These are located in the Jazz and Calypso buildings and sleep up to 6. For added convenience it has 2 bathrooms and a kitchenette.
I was extremely happy staying in the Broadway Hotel building until we came back from the park late the first night and I found this...
Here's the resort map showing the configuration of all the buildings, pools and Melody Hall:
Here is a great video I found on YouTube from PopSong1 featuring a complete walk-through of the resort. Click below to watch now:
So I hope you've enjoyed today's featured resort and mostly I hope that it's helped with your vacation planning. ;) You can book Disney's All-Star Music Resort online at disneyworld.com or by calling 407-W-DISNEY.
Have a Magical Trip!!

Radio: What is the Lifestyle of Your Eyes? Part 1
Our eyes is usually called the "window to our soul". Whatever is happening in our lives & our inner emotional struggles is deeply connected with everything we choose to look at and see. God wants us to reflect on this today, "What are the habits of our eyes?", "Do we have good or bad eyes?
"Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light. But when it is bad, your body is filled with darkness. Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness."-Luke 11:34
