(Our little ninja. Don't be afraid. The nunchucks aren't real.)
The parent/child relationship just might be the greatest love story that exists. I could attest to this, even before I had a child. That love pulsed through my veins even when our child was just a dream on our family map.
After more than six years of trying, waiting, and praying, I received a phone call explaining that a mother in Michigan wanted to place her son for adoption … and she wanted to place him with us. Moreover, she was scheduled to have her C-section—in only one week.
Wait … what!?
Six weeks later, Ryan and I were back in Nashville with our beautiful son, Jayden Daniel. I was constantly smelling his skin, gazing into his eyes, and singing him to sleep. Pure bliss.
However, Jayden had failed his hearing screening at birth. This can be due to fluid within the ear canal as a result of the C-section, but only a follow-up hearing screening would provide more information. Four weeks after his birth, he repeated the test. Failed again.
"Ma'am, the next step is to schedule Jayden for diagnostic testing (ABR: Auditory Brainstem Response, measuring brain wave activity in response to sound) at Vanderbilt University for more definitive results," the doctoral student stated.
The ABR performed by the doctors at Vanderbilt detected moderate to moderate-severe hearing deficiency in both ears.
Wait … is this final!? What do we do?
"Let's repeat the test next week just to be absolutely sure the results are correct."
Many prayers and tears crossed our paths that week. The second ABR commenced.
"Jayden has improved slightly. It looks as though he has, for the most part, left the severe range and both ears show moderate hearing loss."
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart."
Jeremiah 1:5 (NIV)
We suddenly had a long to-do list for Jayden: ENT doctor appointment. Hearing aid molds designed monthly. Hearing aid fittings. Early Childhood Development testing. CT Scan. Genetic testing. Learning sign language (all three of us). Yet another ABR test. Speech assessment in four months. Etc.
For the most part, Jayden couldn't hear us, unless we were speaking loudly directly into his ears. He didn't hear all the songs I sang to him the past several weeks. He couldn't hear me when I told him I loved him and that we'd be best friends forever. As parents, our hearts break for our children. We don't matter anymore. We gave up that "me" mentality the minute we held those tiny hands in ours. Possibly before.
On top of all of these questions, I tried not to be angry, but I was. After all this time, fighting for a child to love … after all the years of consistent pain … why Jayden?
Suddenly, I wanted God available in an injection format—similar to a vitamin B-12 shot, but a trillion times stronger. This would give me the energy and motivation to keep going. The faith to not doubt the unending uncertainty. And the wisdom to simply, know what to do. Doesn't that sound appealing?
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you."
Isaiah 41:10
I needed this shot, and I needed it now. I was running out of perspective. I was running out of positivity. I was simply … depleted.
Then I was reminded: About three years ago, I wrote an article similar to this topic (but from a different vantage point) called, "Are Our Challenges … Gifts?" I didn't see it coming, but God had been preparing me and Ryan for years for this very moment.
Jayden was still perfection to us, and we loved him even more than we ever had, if that were even possible. That was never questioned, even for one second. But this challenge forced us to see things a little differently.
Could all of this be a coincidence? Impossible. This was God, loving His son Jayden so much that He had it all planned out—the success of his steps—and who could help provide them.
"For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you,"
1 Thessalonians 1:4 (ESV)
"The reality is that the Lord never calls the qualified; He qualifies the called."
~ Henry T. Blackaby
The following words have repeated over and over in my head for weeks:
* * *
Before lifting Jayden from his crib, I've always gently placed my right hand over his heart, and cupped my left hand around his head, ironically, over his ear. I've done this since day one—before I knew the road that lay before us. I like to think that Jayden now knows, even with his eyes closed and room silent, that with one hand on his heart and one his head, Momma's here. Always.
Ryan and I are there to fight for his success over his disability. We're there to fight for his heart. And we're there to fight for everything in between.
What cause pulses through your veins? What or who are you fighting for? Or rather, who in your life needs you to fight for them? To be their warrior. To refuse to quit.
Whatever/whomever this may be, don't lose hope or momentum. Know that you were chosen to be here—right now. God designed this moment for you and you alone. Isn't that truly amazing? No one else. Just you.
"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love."
1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (NIV)
Let's do this. Let's raise our arms, our hearts, and our voices for those that need us—for those that can't do it themselves. The opportunity to be a warrior for those that we love is an honor. We can't and won't let them down.
"Being a warrior is not about the act of fighting, it's about being so prepared to face a challenge and believing so strongly in the cause that you are fighting for that you refuse to quit."
~ Richard Machowicz

I don't know about you, but I think I just got my injection.

Your words fill my heart! You are and always have been a very special lady ! Loving with your whole being! Sending lots of love and prayers for all of you
God works in wonderful ways You three have be chosen to be where you are today to help and teach each other God will help Love you all
I agree, Kathryn ~ I'm already learning a ton from that precious little man! 🙂 Love you too!
This is such a great blog! Your whole family is in my prayers – Jayden is a lucky little guy! What great parents you and Ryan are and your positive attitude is inspiring. God is so good. I love that you're able to step back and see all of the puzzle pieces starting to fit together. Keep on being warriors on the front line and know that you have an army of people praying for Jayden behind you!
Thank you, Stefanie! That army of people praying is appreciated, believe me!
Your faith is amazing Alicia! I've been worried about and praying for you. I should have known your faith in God would strengthen you! I do believe it was God's plan for Ryan and you to be Jayden's parents. What a blessed little boy he is to have you two as his warriors! Love & prayers, Mrs Z
Truly an inspired message. God placed Jayden with the most wonderful parents.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Becky. I promised his wonderful birth mom that I would do my best to make her proud of how we raise Jayden; I will keep that promise, if it's the last thing I do!
Alicia, you are awesome; for three plus years I worked for a company caring for seniors. You are so right when you say , Know that you were chosen to be here—right now. God designed this moment for you and you alone. My daughter, Theresa has told me many times that "God has a plan for you Dad". My comment used to be,"I wish He would let me in on that plan", Since my time with the senors and experience of sharing and caring for them, I knew it was my Lord and savior who is guiding my spirit and giving me this opportunity to serve Him and these seniors. My brother Andy has told me that i come to the UP that this also is the Lords plan, so that I can help in forming our new Hope Lutheran Church in St. Ignace.
Thanks Alicia for your wonderful words- you are truly a woman of God, Blessings to you and your family–Love you.
"Uncle Gary
Wow, I didn't know you were doing all of that, Uncle Gary! I can't wait to hear more about it sometime. Hopefully I can attend your church some day! Sending lots of love and big hugs back to you! And I'm so glad you enjoyed the article ~ thank you for your kind words!
You are amazing! This is a true inspiration. It is so odd how God works in us, with us, and through us when we don't even realize it. You were mean to be Jayden's parents. God placed that on his birth mother's heart and made the way for it to occur.
Keep on keeping on – its the best we can ever do to shine our lights. Never give up!
Thanks, Samantha ~ you're so right. I promise to do my best to fight for that light to always shine. xo!
Thanks Alicia, You are correct, Jayden is perfect, fearfully and wonderfully made. He knows how much he is loved, he doesn't need ears for that 🙂 Thanks for my injection!
Perfect ~ YES he certainly is!! 🙂 I can't look at him for even one second without that passing through my mind. And you're right — love doesn't need to just be heard — there are a multitude of ways to show/express that; great point, Shaefer!
Beautifully written! Sounds like a start to a sequel chapter of Common Stones.
I'd be lying if I said that hasn't crossed my mind, Marilyn! 🙂
Amazing Blog! Thank you so much for sharing that with me and with everyone!
Thanks for the injection…I was in need of it
Tears and more tears, but they are of Joy for you and Ryan and this new adventure that God has prepared for you. Jayden is remarkable and God's plans for him are good and I am thrilled to see all He does thru Jayden and you and Ryan. Thank you for this post and for sharing this journey with me. I know your mom and dad are smiling at their beautiful daughter and her beautiful family! Love you, Heather
You just brought ME more (good:) tears as well, Heather. xo Thank you for saying that. We'll do our very best, that's for sure!! Love you too!
Thank you Dear Alicia for such beautiful words. Jayden, Ryan and our whole family are so blessed to have your words, your insights, your love surround all of us. Warriors we will be. Love 🙂
Man, I love that, Aunt Sharon: "Warriors we will be." I'm going to quote you moving forward, I hope that's okay. 😉 Love you and thank you!
When I heard about Jayden's disability I had two primary thoughts. First, how can more challenge be handed to two of the most genuine, kind, caring people I know? And, second, that there must be a larger plan… That the two of you are specially equipped to help a child thrive and be happy despite starting off with a challenge.
Reading your words is inspiring, and
I'm so glad that Jayden has you and Ryan. And that you have him! Thank you for sharing.
It's so hard not knowing that plan sometimes, Liz–I can't lie about that. But we'll just do our best to trust and be the best parents we know how to be in the meantime. That's all any of us can do, right? Thank you to you and John for being great examples for us!
Wow. This is beautifully put. God has that precious little Jayden right where he wants him- where he has been rescued and will be loved beyond measure. I just finished reading so many verses on giving justice to the orphan and rescuing the "helpless to deliver them from the grasp of evil people" (Psalm 82:3-4)- what a gift to be able to give Jayden a life he would never know without you. The other verse scrolling through my head as I read this is James 5:16- in that "the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective". I don't know what God's plans are for that little boy- or you and Ryan- but I know they will be good- and I know if he wants to restore full hearing to those ears- he can do it. Praying for you guys- you are blessing so many people by sharing your heart.
Your words brought me some tears, Amy, I can't lie–but good tears.:) My mother used to say these very words, "and I know if he wants to restore full hearing to those ears- he can do it." Thank you for that!
Beautifully done. We will pray for Jayden and you and Ryan. So two angels Mel and Dan can touch yinz all and give you the strength. Love you.
You and Ryan are a great example of loving caring parents. God chose you for Jayden He will continue to bless your new Family and provide for all of your needs. Thank you for sharing your story. God Bless!
Thank you for saying that, Mrs. Sitek. God definitely has provided every time we were in need, and then some. Including providing support from great people like you! Big hug!
Alicia. .you and Ryan were chosen by God to be his parents because of your faith and strength and your courage. What joy you three share. This reminds me of years ago when David was diagnosed with leukemia as an ifant and the strength of God's love for us that remains with me today. .what a blessing the Lord has given us.
Thank you for sharing this with me, Aunt Kathy. You are an inspiration!
I love your sweet heart. This is an amazing article. I can't think of a better momma fit for the job to be Jayden's warrior. You all are so blessed, and he is beyond beautiful. Keep on doing you and I have a feeling everything is going to turn out exactly how God planned.

Violet Rose, independent Berlin & London courtesan; part-time real-life vintage pin-up gal; sexuality professional and educator.
This is a website for people seeking real-life (but paid-for) salacious liasons with someone beautiful, independent and intelligent, if this is or may be you, then do cast your eye over the rest of the information on this website before getting in touch. I'm socially conscious and ethically minded; it's the exploration and enjoyment of human sexuality that led me to undertake this work. *
In addition to being a part-time lady-of-fixed-rate-virtue, I'm also an experienced workshop facilitator, teaching to the masses all the kinds of sexy things you expect me to know in private: safer sex, better sex, consent/ negotiation/ boundaries, sex skills etc. I also speak in varying dialects of academic/political at all kinds of events, and even occasionally take my clothes off in public, for charidee, darling. Never a dull moment!
If you are seeking a titillating and erotic experience from reading a sex worker blog then perhaps try elsewhere, as my writing tends towards the self-absorbed and/or political/pointless musings/rants; also my blogging is very sparse and updates sporadic in the extreme. I'm not going to apologise: I'm generally too busy somewhere having sex or enjoying the rest of my life to litter the Internet with my poor literary attempts…
If you are yourself a sex worker of any kind, then do use the "useful stuff" links and get in touch on twitter/email/saafe if you'd like to swap links/info/cake.
*as well as, obviously the delights of self-employment; good work/life balance; *ahem* remuneration and a career-long supply of hotel toiletries.

CHICAGO, Dec. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- CME Group, the world's largest and most diverse derivatives marketplace, today announced that it is expanding its international electronic trading fee incentive programs to provide clients outside of North America with greater access to COMEX metals futures products. The extension will apply from January 1, 2010, to participants in the International Incentive Program (IIP), the Asia Pacific Incentive Program (AIP), the South American Incentive Program (SAIP), the Latin American Commercial Incentive Program (LACIP), and the Latin American Fund Manager Incentive Program (FMIP). These programs will run through December 31, 2010.
The programs will provide traders at proprietary trading firms, arcades, banks, and fund managers outside of North America with fee incentives for electronically traded COMEX futures.
"The extension of the international programs to COMEX products further demonstrates the importance of these markets to CME Group's future strategy," said Rick Redding, CME Group Managing Director, Products and Services. "With the current high level of investor interest in metals such as gold and silver, expanding our international electronic fee incentives to COMEX futures products will enable more firms to access our global benchmark contracts in these key commodities at lower rates."
Customers who participate in the international incentive programs will be subject to minimum volume and application requirements. Additional details about CME Group incentive programs can be found on the CME Group Web site at www.cmegroup.com/incentives.

Truly, it's one of my all-time favorite stores! I did a lot of damage there in October when we were visiting Sarah (although most of it was Christmas-related.) There are none close to us.

I love the container store. I want to buy everything when I'm there. I especially like all of the pantry storage containers, but also know that my pantry will never look like those in the magazines. It's just not practical to have every little thing in a container. The color inspiration alone is worth going for!

While the number of violent crimes reported in Mountlake Terrace was down in 2011 compared to 2010, the number of property crime incidents and various traffic infractions were up slightly. Those were some of the findings in the 2011 Mountlake Terrace Police Department Report shared by Police Chief Greg Wilson at Thursday�s night MLT City Council Work/Study Session.
There were 38 reported incidents of violent crime in the city in 2011 — one homicide, with the others being robbery, aggravated assault and rape. That total is down from the 52 violent crimes committed in Mountlake Terrace in 2010. Incidents of property crime — including burglary, larceny, theft and arson — totaled 599 in 2011, up from 553 in 2010.
A look at the most recent four-year crime statistics do show a much lower crime rate in Mountlake Terrace over this longer time span. Crime numbers dropped significantly from 2004-2007 to 2008-2011. �If you look at our last four-year totals, you can see we have a consistent trend in our crime statistics,� said Detective Sergeant Don Duncan.
�The City of Mountlake Terrace continues to be a safe place to live, work and visit,� Wilson said.
The Mountlake Terrace Police Department made 125 felony arrests and 1,299 misdemeanor arrests in 2011.They also issued 69 DUI infractions and 521 parking tickets during the past year.
Patrol officers conducted 7,644 �calls for service� and traffic stops in 2011, a total average of about 21 per day. These stops resulted in 4,409 traffic tickets issued to city drivers, about 12 per day. MLT officers conducted more service and traffic stops on average (273 in 2011) than officers in South Snohomish County's neighboring cities — Lynnwood (212) or Edmonds (150). Only Brier�s seven patrol officers conducted more �calls for service� and traffic stops on average than officer in Mountlake Terrace, with an average of 437 per officer.
Larceny continues to be the city�s most prevalent non-violent crime, with 401 reported thefts in 2011. An additional 54 car thefts were reported in the same time frame. There were 380 reported thefts and 51 reported auto thefts in 2010.
Property code enforcement was also a significant part of the 2011 police department report. The department investigated 315 cases of property code violations; all but seven were resolved by property owners rectifying the violations before citations were issued.
Wilson and his staff were commended by council members after the report. �I think the department as a whole does a tremendous job in meeting its mission of serving, supporting and defending,� said Councilmember Doug McCardle.

Why Won't my Garage Door Open in the Cold Weather?
There are several reasons why your garage door won't open in the cold weather. Its metal contracts, for instance, may have contracted, leading the springs on the door to seize up. Grease can also cause garage door maintenance issues. If lubrication gets on the door's tracks, it can cause the wheels to become misaligned. In cold weather, grease can also harden and prevent the door from closing. Finally, the rollers on your garage door may have simply worn down. Acquiring replacement rollers is an easy remedy to this particular problem.
There are several ways to prevent your garage door from sticking, such as lubricating and cleaning it on a regular basis. If you require garage door repair services, we have the means to help you. You can contact us at (877) 392-2590, and we will provide you with all of the installation, repair, and maintenance services that you need for your garage door.

Child Suicide Bomber Kills Over 50 at Wedding in Turkey
In a live press conference, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan condemned the suicide bombing carried out Sunday morning on a Kurdish wedding by a child who is alleged to have been a member of Islamic State, aged 12 to 14.
Suicide bomber who attacked wedding party was between the age of 12 and 14 years, says Turkey's President Erdogan https://t.co/ukaRkrUP93
— Al Jazeera News (@AJENews) August 21, 2016
The attack took place in a town near the Syrian border called Gaziantep. The adolescent killed 51 people, 22 of them being children, and wounded more than 60 others in attendance. Erdoğan said the Islamic State was most likely behind the attack but the terror group has not claimed responsibility for the bombing.
"The initial findings of the governor and our police forces indicate the attack has been perpetrated by Daesh," said Erdoğan.
According to the BBC, the wedding guests were attacked as they danced and celebrated the wedding in the street. The local authorities located a suicide vest at the site of the blast. The identity of the child bomber has yet to be determined.
Turkey seeks to identify child suicide bomber who killed 51 at Kurdish wedding pic.twitter.com/DkMI0o85to
— Middle East Eye (@MiddleEastEye) August 22, 2016
Mark Lowen, BBC News, Istanbul, stated: "The target seems designed for maximum effect: those enjoying a moment of a celebration at a wedding party." The bombing could be in retaliation for the recent losses IS has experienced in Syria: Kurdish fighters and the US-led coalition pushed them out of Manbij, which until recently was a stronghold for the terror organization.
The People's Democratic Party (HDP) blames IS for the attack on the wedding party, suggesting that the group targeted the celebrations because the HDP announced its intentions to attempt to end a 30-year-old conflict between the Turkish government and Kurdish forces.
Erdoğan met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Aug. 9 to resolve broken relations between the two countries. Russia began lifting sanctions on Turkey, stabilizing affairs. It has been seen as suspicious by many, but Turkey's ambassador to the European Union, Selim Yenel, pointed out that at this time last year, Turkey had "even stronger relations with Russia."
This deadly attack is just one of many carried out against the Turkish citizens. The most recent occurred in the previous week. Several separate bombs detonated in Elazig, Bitlis, and Van, killed 11 people and injured about 300 others. This is the deadliest incident since the assault on Istanbul's Ataturk Airport that claimed more than 40 lives on June 29.
In the eyes of the Turkish government, there are no lines of distinction between groups that disagree with the government and terror groups. "There is no difference between the PKK, Daesh (ISIS), and FETO. They all serve the same purpose," emphasized Erdoğan. Amidst claims the government has not done enough to combat terrorism, Turkey, in conjunction with its allies, has pledged to continue to fight against terrorism in the region.

Elena Ruiz Sastre, Casa Broner
Elena Ruiz Sastre has a BA in art history from the Complutense University of Madrid and has taught art at the School of Tourism and Contemporary History at the UIB (Universitat de les Illes Balears). Between 1992 and 2006, she curated the Ibiza Biennale.
She is currently director of the Ibiza Museum of Contemporary Art (MACE), which is also responsible for the Casa Broner and Puget Museum. As a curator of exhibitions, her latest projects include Flanagan – Barceló (ceramics and drawings); Joan Miró: La Llum de la Nit (works from1960 - 1970); and Homo Sapiens VI, the work of painter Dis Berlin.
At the Iconic Houses Conference in Barcelona on November 25, Elena Ruiz Sastre will give a presentation about Casa Broner, the house that Erwin Broner designed and built for himself on Ibiza in 1960.
Tell us about your work with significant houses
Primarily that comes from my work at Casa Broner. At the same time, I regularly visit artist's houses whenever I find the confluence of the two factors that especially arouse my interest: the quality of the project, and the experiences emanating from such spaces.
Do you have a favourite house?
I can't say just one, as I don't know all of them, but I am especially interested in Adolf Loos' Villa Müller in Prague in the Czech Republic, the Jacobsen House in Charlottenlund in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Mies van de Rohe's Villa Tugendhat in Brno, also in the Czech Republic. All three are fine examples of good architecture, well executed, designed in connection with nature, gardens and the surrounding environment. They give me the perfect idea of order, cleanliness of design and a rational quality of domestic space.
What's the biggest challenge Casa Broner faces right now?
Our biggest challenge is running Casa Broner at its full potential, meaning not only as a historic house, but also as a centre of multidisciplinary studies inspired by the multifaceted personality of Erwin Broner himself.
What do you hope will emerge from the upcoming Iconic Houses conference in Barcelona?
Above all, I hope we can raise awareness about our respective houses and explore the possibilities for future collaboration between the members. The experiences of other houses can be very helpful in providing direction and valuable input for our own projects.
What 21st-century home deserves to be an Iconic House of the future?
Although they are actually 20th century, I would make a case for adding one of Josep Lluis Sert's houses in Jesús, Ibiza, to the collection. His 1970s estate in Can Pep Simó is one of the best examples of Mediterranean town planning, completed at the time of the urban tourist boom but the opposite of those big constructions close to the sea. Sert's houses defended the idea of sostenibilidad: discretion and harmony between building and landscape.

Why Empowering Others Makes You a Better Leader
For a very long time, there was a belief in corporate America that empowerment wasn't something to bestow upon employees. They were subordinate, management was in charge, and there was rarely any pushback with regard to who led and who followed. Thankfully, times have changed. Managers have now, for the most part, discovered how much more successful businesses are when they employ the creativity, perceptions, ideas, and individual talents their people bring to the table.
Empowering employees to develop and do better in their roles and for the company does not take the power away from managers, like so many once feared. It, instead, creates a better work environment all the way around, including the creation of better and more powerful leaders. Here's how:
Improved Morale:
According to a
2011 study
from the University of Iowa, employees who feel empowered by employers have a higher morale than those who are not, regardless of their industry, job, or culture. And, why not? When people have the skills, knowledge, and resources to do a job, they are going to feel better about themselves and the work they do when they receive the authorization to put them to work.
Increased Productivity:
The same study also identified increased productivity as a benefit of empowering. When a manager learns to tap the creativity, skills, and expertise of an employee in a way that motivates that individual to perform, it increases the amount of work the individual wants to do for themselves and for his or her manager. In the same vein, empowering your people enables you to let go of things that may otherwise bog you down as a manager, increase efficiencies by allowing someone else to do it instead, and therein also increase productivity.
Affected Bottom-line:
Scott Seibert, professor of management and organizations in the Tippie College of Business, emphasizes that when properly executed, empowerment can lead to higher job satisfaction, lower turnover, and reduced stress in the workplace. When morale is improved, productivity is increased, efficiencies are greater, and things are running more smoothly in general, customers are also going to "feel" the change, and the effects are going to be seen in the bottom-line.
According to Seibert, "Empowerment is an effective approach for improving employee attitudes and work behaviors in a broad range of industries, occupations and geographic regions." It's easy to see why.
The great and inspirational Stephen Covey said it best: "An empowered organization is one in which individuals have the knowledge, skill, desire, and opportunity to personally succeed in a way that leads to collective organizational success."

Combat athletes of all ages are at potential risk for promoting skin diseases. These sports involve direct contact among players, which lead their bodies to fight a war against skin infections every day when they step into the game.
Most of the skin infections develop either from direct or indirect contact with infected object, but never spread through the air. Direct contact with an infected individual has always been the major cause for such skin troubles. Indirect is when a healthy person touch infected items like clothes, mats, dressings, sports gears or equipments.
It is now possible to have a control and reduce the potential possibilities of getting or spreading the infection. Your best defense against skin pathogens is "Personal Hygiene" and nothing can do it better than Defense Soap.
Its natural ingredients are capable of doing miracle against microbes. An athlete must take shower with Defense Soap after athletic activity, workout or practice. Other than that hands should be cleaned using this soap and warm water throughout the day.

Know What Works Best For Ringworm
There is no specific place where one might get infected. Ringworm passes on through direct skin contact with an infected person. Most of the time public pool and locker rooms expose you to the infective fungi. Additionally, those who often share items that get in touch with skin like soap, towel, clothes with other people have a danger of developing the infection.
We always choose a soap that clean, moisturize and nourish the skin. Hand washing and taking regular shower is not enough, be sure to treat your skin every time with an antifungal soap. There are many bath soaps available for you but what could be better than a soap with tea tree oil and eucalyptus oil. These two natural components are well known for beating skin microorganisms.
Next time you buy a soap for yourself, do not forget to ask yourself, "Is it capable of preventing such skin infirmity!".
Remember whatever you use on your skin makes a lot of difference.

The Complete Guide On Athlete Skin Care – [Infographic]
In sports such as wrestling skin infections are very prevalent. Few factors that most likely to cause skin infections among athletes from different sports are close skin-to-skin association, contaminated gears and surfaces, cramped living conditions and most importantly poor hygiene.
When it comes to prevention of skin infection "Awareness is Key". Athletes and trainers need to be educated about their important part in reducing the spread of highly infectious diseases like mrsa, herpes and impetigo. Essential prevention tips are following good hygiene practices, having apparels and gear washed regularly and avoiding sharing of towels, athletic gear, soaps, razors, hair combs. It is equally significant to perform daily surveillance and report all abrasions, wounds, cuts, and skin change to the coach.

I bought barely anything out of the range of designer stores to high street store. However, I allowed myself to splurge a little at Lush. Bad Girl! But, I am quite apprehensive about using the bath stuff as I don't have a Lush really local which is really inconvenient.
I picked up the Creamy Candy Bubble Bar. It was lovely. No lie about it. Shame I picked the one up without flower decoration. I'm absolutely hopeless at picking the right things up in such an excitable mood.
I haven't got any photographic/videography of me using the bar. Sorry! I managed to get two uses out of this bar which is an achievement. Half a bar was enough to get enough bubbles.
When I soaked in the water it felt so lovely and luxurious. I felt like eating the bubbles as the smell was as it was described. To me it smelt like parma violets crossed with love hearts.
The staff were absolutely lovely. Top customer service. Me and the woman at the checkout were chatting for what seemed forever about where I live. She agreed it was terrible as our designer outlet is awful and no one can afford to shop there.

Big Life Foundation was founded by photographer Nick Brandt & conservationist Richard Bonham in September 2010.
With Richard Bonham as Director of Operations for Big Life in Africa, and Project Manager Damian Bell in Tanzania, Big Life has now expanded to manage a network of over 250 rangers, with 31 units and 15 vehicles protecting 2 million acres of wilderness in the Amboseli-Tsavo ecosystem of E. Africa.
Big Life is the only organization in East Africa with co-ordinated cross-border anti-poaching operations.
As of July 2013, Big Life's rangers have made 1,030 arrests and confiscated 3,012 weapons/poaching tools since November 2010.
Recognizing that sustainable conservation can only be achieved through a community-based collaborative approach, Big Life uses innovative conservation strategies to address the greatest threats, reduce the loss of wildlife to poaching, defeat the ivory trade, mitigate human-wildlife conflict, protect the great predators, and manage scarce and fragile natural resources.
Big Life's vision is to take the successful holistic conservation model in the Amboseli-Tsavo ecosystem and replicate it across the African continent.

Coffee vs. Tea: which is better for you?
Do you find yourself reaching for a morning cup o' joe or an afternoon cup of tea?
Whichever side of the fence you find yourself, both coffee and tea offer some health benefits.
"Both coffee and tea contain caffeine, they contain antioxidants, and they contain polyphenols, too," said Stephanie Small, Clinical Dietitian with Mercy Medical Center.
But how do these nutrients benefit our bodies?
"The antioxidants in the coffee and tea... that might help limit cell damage might then lead to decreased risk of things like cancers," Small said. "Polyphenols found in both coffee and tea can potentially help decrease blood pressure."
It is often found that people prefer one or the other due to the effects of that drink on the body.
"Coffee is known to be the pick me up kind of beverage, and then teas on the other hand are kind of known to be the soothing, relaxing, wind-down kind of drink," said Small.
Whatever your fancy, it is important to note... de-caffeinated coffee and tea are not actually *caffeine free*, according to Small.
"Decaf coffee has significantly less caffeine than regular coffee. It still does offer similar benefits as regular coffee when you are talking about the antioxidants and polyphenolys," said Small.
Small affirms that you won't be lacking nutrients if you choose decaf over regular.
"By choosing decaf, you're not going to be missing out on any significant health benefit," said Small.

Namco Bandai has announced Mobile Suit Gundam 0079, a first person shooter, for the Nintendo Wii in an issue of Famitsu.
According to the article, players will use standard FPS controls. The Wii remote will be used to aim while the Nunchuk will be used for movement. Gundam 0079 will take characters from four different series including Mobile Suit Gundam, Gundam 0080: A War in the Pocket, Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team and Gundam: Blue Destiny.
Gundam 0079 will include long range and melee combat which will all be controlled with the remote. Long-range targets can be snipped by using the control pad to zoom while melee combat will be controlled with the A and B buttons. By pressing A, players will switch to a melee weapon and be able to swing the remote to attack while the B button will be used to block.
Also described in the article is a duel gauge that will require the player to swing the remote to fill up the gauge when their weapons become locked with an opponent's. Defeating enemies will also lead to rewards including their weapons.
Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 has been confirmed for a Japanese release on July 26. No US version of the game has been announced at this time.

Give contracts to Yousuf and Younus: Inzamam
Former captain Inzamam-ul-Haq today slammed the Pakistan Cricket Board for not awarding central contracts to senior players Muhammad Yousuf and Younus Khan.cricket Updated: Mar 20, 2010 12:26 IST
Former captain Inzamam-ul-Haq on Saturday slammed the Pakistan Cricket Board for not awarding central contracts to senior players Muhammad Yousuf and Younus Khan.
Both the players were recently banned for indefinite period by the Board on disciplinary count.
Inzamam, the most capped player for Pakistan, said he was disappointed at the way the board treated the senior players.
"It is the board which is showing disrespect to the players. When there is no life ban on Yousuf or Younus then why not give them central contracts?," he fumed
"You don't find players of the calibre of Yousuf or Younus everyday or overnight. They are quality players and Pakistan still needs them. The board has not even bothered to reveal the details of the charges against these two while going about banning them," he added.
Inzamam said he saw no sense in the policy of ignoring players banned but awarding contracts to players who were fined and put on probation by the board.
"The board has no sound policy and that is why they have not even been able to announce the captain for the T20 World Cup. By delaying the announcement of the captain the board itself is encouraging groupings in the team.
"I don't understand why the delay in naming the captain when the choice is obvious?," he asked.
Inzamam wants PCB to appoint Shahid Afridi as captain for the T20 World Cup in the West Indies.

Re: "Keep hands off our water, California," (TNT editorial, 12/16).
On behalf of conservation and fishing advocates in Washington state and across the West Coast, I send my deep appreciation to Sen. Maria Cantwell for standing up for wild salmon, the healthy ecosystems and the waters that sustain them, and the fishing communities and businesses that are sustained by them.
While Cantwell may have lost her battle to stop a destructive water bill from gaining approval in the Senate, she stood up courageously for a healthy economy and a healthy environment. Congressional leadership in California insisted on a damaging provision that allows additional water to be pumped from the San Joaquin River for wealthy agribusiness interests at the expense of salmon fishermen and an already endangered ecosystem, the San Francisco Bay Delta.
Conservationists and fishermen applaud the senator's efforts and pledge our readiness to work with her and others to defend the rivers and salmon of Washington and the Pacific Northwest and to craft durable, equitable and sustainable solutions that work for all of our communities.
(Bogaard is executive director of the Save Our Wild Salmon Coalition.)
