■ REBA HOSTS & PERFORMS ON ACM AWARDS TONIGHT; EXCITED TO SEE ARTIST FRIENDS: Reba will be hosting tonight's Academy of Country Music Awards for the 12th time, and the superstar will be performing her new single "I Keep On Loving You". We asked Reba if the process is nerve-wracking debuting a new song like this on television. "I guess I'm a always a little nervous to perform in front of my peers, but I'm excited to get a chance to sing this song on the show!" says Reba. "It takes a lot of hard work and preparation to be ready for a successful hosting job at the ACMs. To make it a smooth running show, I have to listen to the directors and stretch when we're running ahead of schedule and make my intro's short and sweet when we're running behind. Live TV is a blast and I love it!" She continues, "I also love getting to host the ACMs because it gives me a chance to see all my artist friends. Most of us travel so much throughout the year, that this is one of the few times we are all in the same place and get a chance to visit." Reba is not only hosting and performing on tonight's broadcast; she is also vying for Female Vocalist of the Year, where she shares the nomination with Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert and Lee Ann Womack.
■ JEWEL PUSHED HERSELF ON SELF-DESCRIBED 'RANGY' NEW ALBUM 'SWEET AND WILD': Jewel's new album SWEET AND WILD will land in stores June 8th, and the superstar, who produced the project with Nathan Chapman, previewed the album during a VIP listening event in Las Vegas this weekend. "I'm so excited about this new record," exclaims Jewel, in town for the Academy of Country Music Awards. "I feel it's some of my strongest writing and I pushed myself to try and record 'rangy' material that pushed my vocals more than any studio album. I have always sung better live for some reason. I'm really happy [all the fans] will get the chance to hear it soon. I also just finished my photo shoot for the album and I really love the new images. I can wait for everyone to see them." The album will contain 11 songs, including the collection's lead single "Stay Here Forever".
■ JUSTIN MOORE ON BEING COUNTRY VS. BEING A COWBOY: One look at Justin Moore, and there is no doubt he is country. One listen to Justin Moore and there is no doubt he's country. But for Justin Moore, being country doesn't mean you have to be a cowboy. "You know, I get asked that a lot, and I always say I'm not a cowboy, but I'm country," says Justin Moore, in response. "There's a difference. Since I grew up on a farm, I've always worn a cowboy hat and boots, but I didn't grow up on a ranch with cattle like the guys you'd normally call cowboys. But whether you call yourself a cowboy or just country, it's about the same values. It's about standing up for what you believe in and trying your best to always do the right thing." Justin's latest 'country' anthem "Backwoods" continues to climb the charts this week, perching at #11 on Billboard and Mediabase.
■ JIMMY WAYNE'S MAKING A NEW ROUTINE FOR HIMSELF OUT ON THE ROAD: Jimmy Wayne is a man of routine. He is someone who loves order and sticking to a schedule. So when his life was turned on its head earlier this year when he began his 1700-mile Meet Me Halfway trek, Jimmy had to get used to days with uncertainty of weather and without a set schedule. But he still managed to find a routine. "I've come to learn you can find a routine in everything," states Jimmy. "I've always liked order. I carry my guitar in the same hand every time and I put it on in the same way every time I play. You know, as a kid, when I was sleeping outside and in the middle of chaos, you forget stuff and you lose stuff, and I couldn't afford that. So I established routines to remember to do things. For me, it was part of surviving the situations. And I've put that same thought process into this walk, to keep me organized and keep me moving forward." And moving forward towards his goal is at the forefront of his mind right now: Jimmy has currently walked over 720 of the 1700 miles it will take to reach his destination in Phoenix.

Great team and great quality! There was music, light and face painting! All guests loved the intricate designs and great work! I wish I could upload a photo of my daughters face! It was beautiful. Highly recommend!
Beyond wonderful! They were so great with my daughter and her little friends at her 1st birthday party. They were dressed in very colorful costumes and even played with the kids! At the end they made my little princess a special balloon baby doll. Everyone was amazed, will definitely refer my friends to them for future business and use them again.
Francis came as schedule and got right to making the kids happy. She was very polite and made all kinds of balloon characters. I thoroughly enjoyed her visit and highly recommend Francis for your next event!
We hired Roger to wear a mascot costume for our company party. He did an outstanding job engaging our guests! Definitely recommend!
I hired Funtastical Faces to host a tea party for my daughters 6th bday. She set up and cleaned up when done. The girls got to have "make overs" with lip gloss and nail polish then dress up with heels, hats, boas and costume jewelry after which the put on a runway show for us moms. We loved the photo opportunities and the girls laughed and giggled the whole time. Then when it was time for tea, she showed them how to pour and hold their tea cups and read a story to them while they ate. It was a wonderful experience for both the moms and the girls.
Great experience for the kids! Wally was on time, very professional, and a lot of fun for the kids! I would love to use his services for magic and I highly recommend using him. The costume was fantastic - clean and very true to the character (unlike some I've seen). Overall, excellence experience.
We had the privilege of hosting Stephen Baxley at First Baptist Prosper, and I can honestly say that it was one of the most enjoyable shows I have ever been a part of. Not only do you get an incredible show, full of mind-blowing moments, but you also get a time to personally experience something that is not of this world; and I'm not only talking about the magic! I'm talking about the community that was experienced throughout the show as Stephen filled the audience with joy and laughter. Stephen's vibrant personality and character are displayed throughout his show, and I would have to say that Phyllis, Stephen's assistant, was a pleasure throughout as well. Stephen Baxley is simply astounding. Believe me when I tell you that you will not want to miss the opportunity to host Stephen Baxley at your event.
Laura the Mermaid and Mermaid Pyra came out to an event I help co-host and did a fantastic job! Children and adults alike loved seeing their beautiful costumes all evening. The pool wouldn't have been the same without them and their pirate companions.
We have Jonathan make balloon characters at all of our parties at home, and we love him! He is very kind and patient with the kids and tries to make them whatever they want. My son had a Suoer Mario birthday party and he made him a life-sized Mario! He is just a great guy!

Bilingual and vocal
"In a language we understand, we have replaced opacity of sound by transparency of idea"
~Marcel Proust
A few months ago, I wrote a guest blog post for EURO RSCG's blog. The staffs of EURO RSCG were kind enough to have the post translated into Bulgarian – you can read the translated version here. Reading my own thoughts, originally expressed in English and then translated into my native Bulgarian by someone other than me, was an unusual experience. Why did my translated writing sound so foreign to me? I knew that if I had created the blog post in Bulgarian from scratch, I would not have chosen the same words and expressions I used when I wrote it in English. While thinking about this, I came across an article in the Guardian by Rick Gekoski, where the challenges of translation are briefly but poignantly described:
"And there is – no shirking this – the problem of translation. My generation of critics was raised to attend to the words on the page. That is what matters, that is what literature is (Jonathan Miller says somewhere that characters in literature "are sentences"). So are writers whom one encounters only in translation not significantly denatured when the words we read, however excellent, are not their own?"
This is exactly how I felt – my words and ideas were accurately translated, yet they did not come together in the sort of harmony and rhythm I would have strived for, had I been writing in Bulgarian to begin with.
I often worry that when writing and speaking English, I subconsciously resort to idioms and memorized expressions and use them like crutches. I try to be cognizant of this possibility when I write in this blog. I spend time thinking about what I would like to say and try to view the first words that come to mind with great suspicion. I want to be the master of my words and not allow them to make me a captive of any morphological or syntactic limitations. I have considered whether there would be any merit in thinking about what I would like to say in Bulgarian first and then trying to express it in English. Perhaps all these questions can be reduced to one – does a brain think differently depending on the language you are thinking in? In searching for information about this I came across an article in the NYT, called "Does Your Language Shape How You Think", which I actually remember reading last year so perhaps I was somewhat influenced by it. Time to reread it and give the subject some more thought, whatever language my brain chooses to use in the process!

The application of organic mulch can greatly enhance tree health and tree longevity. Mulching is particularly important for newly planted trees.
Benefits of organic mulching:
•Retains soil moisture and reduces water evaporation from the soil surface
•Regulates soil temperatures by providing an insulating layer to protect the soil from extremes in temperatures (soils stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter).
•Improves soil fertility through the decomposition of the organic matter and promotes soil fauna (e.g. earth worms) and soil flora (e.g. mycorrhizae) populations
•Improves soil structure. The breakdown of the organic matter will increase the water holding capacity in sandy soils, while decreasing the bulk density (i.e. compaction) in clay soils.
•Prevents mechanical damage from lawn mowers and string trimmers (e.g. "weed-whackers")
•Reduces soil erosion as the result of wind and water
•Reduces weed competition
•Reduces soil compaction by restricting pedestrian traffic over roots
•Adds to landscape aesthetics
Types of Mulch
Examples of organic mulches include wood chips, composted manure, cedar bark, and cocoa hulls. Inorganic mulches include river rock, pea gravel, and pulverized rubber. The problem with using inorganic materials is that they retain heat and causes the soil to dry more rapidly thereby increasing watering requirements to the roots. Additionally, inorganic mulches are typically laid over landscape fabric/ weed cloth which reduces the efficiency of water permeability to the roots.
Do's of Mulching:
-Mulch depth should not exceed 10 cm (4 inches).
-The wider the mulch area the better. If possible, mulch to the drip line of the crown (i.e. the outer edge of the tree canopy).
-The mulch 'ring' should have a 'dish' configuration such that the sides are higher than the centre of the ring which is closest to the tree trunk. The root collar (the base of the trunk which flares out) should be exposed and not covered with mulch.
-Re-apply mulch as required as it decomposes
Don'ts of Mulching:
-Do not pile mulch against the trunk of the tree. This is a poor practice commonly referred as "volcano mulching" and only serves to shorten the life span of the tree. When excessive mulch is piled against the trunk this will encourage trunk diseases and promote root rot.
-Do not over-mulch with depths exceeding 10 cm (4 inches). This limits the tree's ability to uptake water, nutrients, and CO2
-Do not pile soil against the trunk.

If you're having a Sunday afternoon wander across the Heath (Hampstead) then this beautiful historic pub is a must (or at any time)
Built in the 1500's as a toll gate, today it is one of the London's oldest pubs and a grade II listed building with the toll gate still standing opposite the pub.
Named after the Spanish Ambassador who used to have his retreat out here.
This is still clearly seen in the road layout where the road narrows to single file (as you pay the toll)
Among it's patrons are Charles Dickens (who mentions it in The Pickwick Papers), Mary Shelley and Keats (who wrote Ode to a nightingale here). Apparently highway man Dick Turpin used to drink here as well, in fact the rumour is that he was born here, as his dad used to the landlord here – who knows maybe watching the tolls handed over each day could have inspired his infamous career.
It also has a reputation of one of London's most haunted pub too. It is reported that a woman in white walks at night. And also the ghost of a Spaniard killed in a duel here, and believed to be buried in the garden (which incidentally is a wonderful garden for a pint in the summer).
But don't be put off by the ghosts, its a very attractive pub, and not surprising they would want to hang around here. The pub is also well known for its excellent food.
Dates from 1585
Spainards Road

This is a suggestion. I was in the area on a river rafting trip with my daughter and my wife had look up your location and the times of mass. So we decided to go to mass at your church.
Well at the time of procession up to the reception of Holy Eucharist, I was much dismayed. Everyone poured out of their pews like a herd of cattle and their was utter chaos.
As a suggestion, please have an usher stand at the pew and let one pew out at a time. This is a courtesy issue and makes for more reverence for the Eucharist and others who have and will be receiving the Eucharist. God created the universe and keeps it running in an orderly fashion. Our God is a God of order and not chaos and we need to use Him as our model.
Thank for listening to my complaint and suggestion.

Jakarta is projected to be among the top of 20 ASIA CityIndonesia is the Southeast's biggest and most attractive market and considered one of the next economic giants. Economic projections estimate the country will leap ahead of Germany and the UK to become the world's 7th largest economy by 2030. As Indonesia's population continues to grow, more citizens will move to cities. Currently nearly half of 240 million Indonesian citizens live in the cities and its surrounding area, and by 2025 the government estimates this number will increase to 68%.
Similarly it is expected that the number of skyscrapers in Jakarta to double in the coming years as developers tap into the booming demand for property. And within the next 5 – 10 years, Jakarta is projected to be among the top of 20 ASIA City. To accommodate this massive urbanization, rapid buildings construction, and increasing infrastructure development, Indonesia needs to find smarter ways to manage complexities, reduce expenses, increase efficiency and improve the quality of life in the cities.

It's no secret that most people spend a significant amount of time on their smartphones - and that goes double for the always-connected demographic of forward-thinkers and influencers that attends major technology and industry events. Anyone presenting at a conference these days needs to grapple with the fact that the audience will be tempted by distractions from their phones and other devices. But can this dynamic be turned to the event professional's advantage?
So you've planned the perfect event: Designed a top-shelf lighting and effects scheme, invested heavily in your wireless technology, built a top-of-the-line sound system and brought in the best, most compelling speakers, presenters and exhibits. What's the next step for a cutting-edge event?

Large events can be a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. Think of all the elements of your event: venue, food & beverage, transportation, paper and other materials and your audiovisual systems all leave a carbon footprint.

Last week we had the pleasure of hosting the very first of our FMAV Webinar Series. In this month's webinar, we were joined by Trevor Lui (International Centre), Stefani Dunn (Decor & More), and Jamie Richardson (FMAV) to take everyone through how they can elevate their corporate Holiday party with great eats, decor, and new technology. These are just a few of the top trends in decor, catering, and technology we talked about.

Sometimes trends take a while to set in, other times they happen almost overnight. This Summer, Nintendo and Niantic (creators of Ingress) launched their new augmented reality mobile game, Pokemon Go, here in Canada. As I'm sure you've learned by now Pokemon Go sends users out into the world to collect and battle cartoon creatures in an effort to "catch them all". While augmented reality (AR) isn't exactly new the massive success of the game has shown how powerful and engaging a tool it can be.

How to keep your social walls spam free… And what to do if you've been targeted
It's no secret that live social media walls (also known as Twitter Walls) are incredible audience engagers; They help start the conversation and keep it going and they offer an open way to connect and share. Many event and meeting planners have adopted social walls with great success but as they rise in popularity, so do the resources and the risks and that openness can leave your event vulnerable to inappropriate 'digital gate crashers'. I caught up with Joel Reodica, FMAV Solutions Specialist, to go over the good, the bad and what to do if your event falls victim to social media spammers.

A couple years ago, Leica decided that they wanted to go head to head with Zeiss Master Primes in the PL lens market. In late 2011, they debuted the new lens set, the Leica Summilux-C.
These lenses fast became a favorite of DP's and shooters such as the late Harris Savides and Tom Lowe. It's no wonder why, they have pretty much everything you would want in cinema lenses. They are built with high-quality materials and feature a fast T-Stop of 1.4.They are also more compact and lighter than most PL mount lenses.
One of the most desired characteristics of the Leica Summilux-C lenses are the contrast. When using the lenses on a test projector, the black levels produced are higher than most other PL mount lenses and hold throughout the frame.
The glass is constructed of a new multi-aspheric design and high-precision cine lens mechanics that give you unmatched flat-field illumination across the frame.
The Leica Summilux C lenses all have the same length, 95mm threaded lens front, advanced distance focus scales, and similair location of focus and iris rings. Just another reason these lenses are a favorite of DPs and 1st ACs, quick and easy lens changes.
The Leica Summilux-C set includes 8 lenses in focus lengths of 18mm, 21mm, 35mm, 40mm, 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm.
This Leica Summilux-C lens set rental can be picked up locally in Los Angeles or shipped nationwide for additional fees.

AMMAN (Reuters) - Islamic State militants claimed responsibility on Tuesday for a shootout at a Crusader castle in the southern Jordanian city of Karak, in which at least nine people including a Canadian tourist were killed and scores injured.
The statement said four Islamic State fighters had undertaken the operation on Sunday that ended in their deaths. Jordanian officials have so far not said who they suspect of the attack but security sources said the perpetrators were Jordanian nationals.

Tom Lee
Principal Executive Search Consultant
Tom Lee is a seasoned industry professional with over 30-years of management experience in technology companies. After spending many years working at Intel, Tom was part of the early management team at a number of venture-funded startups. Highly successful, Tom took one of the early-stage companies through a NASDAQ IPO and also participated as a member of the founding team of a semiconductor IP company that went through a significant acquisition by a major market player. Along the way he has also been the Vice President of North American Sales for Cirrus Logic as well as running a number of product groups for this Austin-based semiconductor company.
Tom firmly believes that the primary factor that determines the success or failure of any company — large or small — is the makeup of the team building and running the company. A company can have a enviable combination of "set the world on fire" technology and "knock your socks off" products, but unless the people managing and guiding the business are not carefully chosen based on skills, personality, drive, desire and the ability to work together towards a commonest of goals, the company will not succeed. Tom specializes in building highly effective teams of people — management as well as key individual contributors — that leverage on each other's strengths to build and create highly successful and productive companies.
Having spent years battling on the "front line" has given Tom a unique perspective of what management teams face when it comes to building a successful business. Over the course of his career, he has been part of companies that have been wildly successful and frankly, there have been a few that did not meet the management team and investor expectations. The reason that most succeeded and a few failed — the team of people put in place to build and manage the company.
Years of in the trenches business experience give Tom a deep well of knowledge and contacts to draw upon when it comes time to recruit for your company. He has developed a set of highly tuned processes and capabilities to find and hire key individuals that fit together as a single, cohesive team — all working to together to succeed.
Tom has a BS on Computer Science from the University of Oregon as well as a background in Finance.

66 West Passed!
Posted: September 10, 2014
It has been a busy summer in the Office of Social Justice at St. Patrick's! The Social Justice Commission and the Office of Social Justice have been engaged in advocacy on behalf of the 66 West project over the last several months! An effort this large was successful, because of the leadership of Edina Community Lutheran Church and Beacon Interfaith Ministries. They were able to galvanize the support of numerous congregations from Edina, community agencies and individuals! We are grateful to all of the supporters who called, wrote over 500 emails and letters, testified and showed up at the hearings!
This project would never have been approved without key support at the City of Edina. We are grateful to the planning staff for endorsing the project. We are also grateful to Kevin Staunton, Chair of the Edina Planning Commission and all of the Commissioners for approving the project on a 4 to 1 vote on August 13. There was lengthy testimony, over four hours. It was followed by spirited debate! The proceeding ended at 12:45 am! Over 200 supporters were at the meeting!
The next step in the process was the Edina City Council. There were two separate votes! The first vote required a, "super majority," 4 out of 5 votes to receive a variance in the Medical District. The second vote required 3 out of 5 votes to allow Beacon to be the developer! There was lengthy testimony which stretched for a couple of hours! Spirited debate and questions followed the testimony. Mayor Hovland was able to secure both votes which were unanimous! Over 150 supporters wearing green showed up for the hearing!
At both hearings, Fr. Tim Rudolphi and Bob Hobbins, Social Justice Commissioner testified! They both made compelling statements! Both votes were, "nail biters"…Every prayer, letter, phone call, email, testimonial and person who showed up made a difference! These were tough decisions that required careful consideration and courage!
This is a big, "win!" for Edina and for the 39 young adults who will have a chance to build a life at 66 West! The work is not finished yet! Beacon and ECLC will be working on funding sources for the project! After they secure the funds, construction will begin which will take approximately 12 months! This topic will be covered in more detail at our October 9 Fall Forum Speaker event at St. Martin's Hall! Please join us!
Again, we are grateful to Fr. Tim, the Social Justice Commission and all of you for supporting the project! If you would like to read some of the coverage on 66 West, please click here.

History: Dubuque County is named for Julien Dubuque, the first European settler of Iowa, and an early lead mining pioneer in what is now Dubuque County. Dubuque was French Canadian, and had (by most accounts) a friendly relationship with the local Fox tribe of Native Americans. He and other early pioneers established a lucrative mining and trading industry in the area. When lead deposits began becoming exhausted, the pioneers developed boat building, lumber yards, millworking, brewing, and machinery manufacturing to take its place. The establishment of the City of Dubuque in 1833 led to large-scale settlement of the surrounding area. This was greatly encouraged by the Roman Catholic Church, which sent priests, bishops, and nuns to establish churches in the unpopulated countryside. Primarily, Irish and German (many of whom were Catholic) immigrants came to the region. In 1858, Saint Francis Catholic Church was established in Dubuque County.

IT was a bright afternoon in the Californian sunshine when word spread around Singing Hills golf course in San Diego on Friday that there had been a hole in one on the fifth.
The person who struck the drive was not a typical businessman enjoying a relaxing round.
It was a 10-year-old girl: the niece of Tiger Woods, the world's greatest golfer who will this week be in Britain to defend his Open title.
Cheyenne Woods's stroke on the 77-yard hole, while practising for a junior tournament, was no fluke.
She is being tipped to become as big a name in women's golf as her uncle is in the men's game.
She has won more than 30 competitions since she started playing competitive golf at the age of five.
Her victories include the world under-10 championship, which she won by four strokes.
Despite being under 4ft tall, Cheyenne can consistently hit a golf ball 200 yards and has the temperament, athleticism and dedication of her famous uncle.
Cheyenne first started playing golf at the age of two, hitting balls into a net erected in the garage of Tiger's family home.
More recently, she has benefited from the advice of her uncle, who earlier this year won the US Masters to complete a clean sweep of all four "major" tournaments in a year.
Tiger said: "Sometimes I give her pointers. My dad has videotapes which she sends him. I criticise her a little bit but she has her own coach and I don't want to get in the way."
Tiger said his niece's golf had improved considerably over the past year. "I think what she's doing is fantastic."
Tiger said: "She's a great kid. She's getting better, she's getting longer off the tee, and a lot of it's because she is growing, growing like a weed."
He said: "Hopefully she doesn't burn out. I don't ever foresee her doing that because right now she has a great love of just playing golf."
Cheyenne is the daughter of Earl Woods Jnr, Tiger's half-brother, and is being guided by Earl Woods Snr, Tiger's father.
Earl Woods Snr said of Cheyenne's introduction to the sport: "I took her into the garage and got one of Tiger's cut-down clubs and she began to play in there."
He said: "She has unlimited potential, just like Tiger did. She has beauty, intelligence, personal strength, leadership and the physical as- sets of a superb athlete."
Cheyenne admits that she has picked up useful tips from her uncle. She said: "He told me to keep my arm at an angle when I'm chipping."
When Tiger made golfing history in April by winning his fourth consecutive major tournament, Cheyenne missed it on television. She said: "We were out playing golf."
Next month she will take part in the under-12 world championship at Jeckyll Island, Georgia.
Each year almost 4,000 youngsters aged from four to 12, from all over the world, compete to win titles in 10 age groups.
Rob Tipton, a spokesman for US Kids Golf, the tournament organiser that encourages children to play, said: "Cheyenne is a very mature player and very composed for her age."
He said: "She has a good swing, and a dedication and commitment to the game."
Kent Chase, Cheyenne's coach, predicted this weekend that she could one day even eclipse the achievements of her uncle.
He said: "There's no question about it, she's a great player. If she keeps her motivation and her desire, who knows?"
He said she is comfortably the best 10-year-old that he has ever coached. "She drives further than most girls her age - she averages about 200 yards.
He said: "Some girls are close, but her average is so consistent. She doesn't get rattled by anything. Nothing's going to bug her - she just goes and plays one hole at a time."
Mr Chase, 43, who runs a golf academy in Cheyenne's home town of Phoenix, Arizona, said: "I think she's going to win Junior World and the US Kids. She is the one to beat."
He has coached her for the past three years since a chance meeting during one of his golf demonstrations.
He said: "I had no idea who she was. I asked if anyone wanted to learn some shots in front of all these spectators, and this cute little girl in the front row raised her hand."
He said: "Within five minutes, she was doing the same shots as I was, the same trick shots. At that point I thought `wow, this girl's special'."
He said: "Afterwards, as I was walking to my car, her mother stopped me and introduced herself as Susan Woods and I said, `I suppose that's no relation to Tiger Woods.' She said `yes'."
According to Mr Chase, Cheyenne is not daunted by the achievements of Tiger, who won a series of junior tournaments when he was aged eight to 15.
Mr Chase said: "She loves her uncle, and she is awe of him like everyone else, but she doesn't spend her whole life talking about Tiger. She's her own girl.
Will the tiger cub become a fully fledged tigress? Mr Chase said: "I have spoken to her about turning pro, but it's too early."
He said: "I want her to be a 10-year-old. She is so well-rounded. The best thing about her is she's just the sweetest person you ever met. It's going to be fun to watch her grow."

Falling in love with that "special" person is a highly desirable goal for most people. It is a glorious experience that is shrouded with mystique, magic, and elation that affirms our uniqueness and desirability. But, is love always that sweet, fulfilling emotion we desire?
Love researcher, Helen Fisher, questions this premise in "Brains Do It: Lust, Attraction, and Attachment." She states, "Neglecting the biology of the emotions that direct mating and reproduction, emotions that in our species are sometimes called "love," has had tragic consequences. At least 25 percent of homicides in the United States involve spouses, sexual partners, or sexual rivals. Each year, some one million American women are followed and harassed by rejected lovers; 370,000 men are stalked by former partners and approximately 1.8 million wives in the United States are beaten by their husbands."
The bittersweet repercussions of love are further highlighted by the following statistics Dr. Fisher details. "Love is a powerful force; the vast majority of Americans marry. But the divorce rate in the United States is expected to reach 67 percent in the next decade. Currently, some 80 percent of divorced men and 72 percent of divorced women remarry; but 54 percent and 61 percent, respectively, divorce again. High divorce and remarriage rates are seen in many other cultures, as well. It is time to investigate the biology of this bittersweet experience we call love."
Dr. Fisher's neurobiological study of love identified three components: The sex drive ("Libido or lust"), Attraction, ("Passionate or Obsessive love") and Attachment, ("Companionate love"). Hormones regulate each of these emotions. Infatuation is fueled by dopamine and norepinephrine, Attachment and monogamy are balanced by oxytocin and vasopressin and feelings of hope or despair that love may evoke are regulated by serotonin.
It may be discouraging to believe that the delight of being in love, mating and bonding are predetermined by hormonal influences rather than by magical, well-deserved good fortune.
Actually, social and psychological factors are also prominent in this process. Dr. John Money of John Hopkins University believes that the profile of the most suitable future mate starts developing as early as age 5, is based on our strongest needs and is cemented by adolescence.
Ongoing advanced research of love clarifies the complexity of hormonal, cultural and emotional influences that start very early in life in preparation for the wisest, most stable and suitable mate selection.
We also know that the emotional highs/lows of love can thrill us and can also cause us anxiety, outrage, jealousy and even violet conduct. Since sustaining our bond requires another individual's reciprocity, love may elevate us to great heights or cause us pain and damage our sensibilities.
Assess your love:
- Feel blessed if you find pleasure, reciprocity and ongoing comfort in your love relationship.
- Avoid searching for extreme emotions of delight that may also render you vulnerable and insecure.
- Love is mostly sweet. Balance your passion of intermittent highs with stable serenity.

You may have finished decorating your home for the holidays, but for those of you just starting to prepare your home for guests, here are my top three tips for decorating your home for Christmas, simply.
1. Make your holiday decor cohesive with your typical decor style. If you like muted colors, don't feel like everything has to be bright.
My home is mostly grey and white so I incorporated that into our holiday decor.
Keep your year-round decor out and add to it or make simple switches. This makes your home feel more like yours.
The window and chalkboard are always up on our mantel, but I dressed them up for Christmas with a few simple changes.
2. Use what you have. If you are like me and are trying to tone down the traditional holiday look of lots of red and green, you look around your house for new ways to decorate. Your china cabinet is a great place to start.
Pretty plates, tureens, vases, and pitchers filled with ornaments, greenery, or pinecones are beautiful and simple.
Ornaments are cheap and you can find them in all sizes which makes them a perfect decorating accessory to your serving pieces!
3. Edit. I am going to tell you a secret.
This year when we got out our Christmas tubs, we donated a small pile of holiday decor. Things we didn't love didn't stay.
Be okay with toning it back this year and just putting out what you love.
If you are just trying to fill space- donate instead. It's better to have more minimalist decor than something you don't love.
And you know what? Our holiday decor is more simplistic than in years past, but I love it. I love that it feels like my home, just with some Christmas spirit. I'm done buying into the myth that everything has to be red and green and over-done.
How has your holiday decorating gone? Are you taking a more simple approach this year?

FairTrade Services artists MercyMe are featured on the cover of the May 1, 2017 edition of CCM Magazine. Front man Bart Millard recently sat down, at length, with contributor Matt Conner to discuss MercyMe's new album Lifer (buy)—some of the band's boldest music to date—and offers deep insight into their musical evolution.
"This album definitely feels current, but I think it's because everything that's current actually hearkens back to everything I loved about music growing up. All of the guys in the band are into different kinds of music, but Barry [Graul], our bass player, is the king of funk. So we started doing the song "Lifer" and it has this Maroon 5 or Bruno Mars vibe, and a lot of that stuff takes me back to the funk/disco stuff my older brother was playing for me. I fell in love with that stuff when they came out with it, because it reminded me of something else. I don't know if it's a confidence level or whether we just stopped caring in a good way of what people thought we should do or say or sing…" -Bart Millard from MercyMe's CCM Magazine cover story
The May 1, 2017 edition also contains features from Jesus Culture's Kim Walker-Smith, Curb Records artist Selah,—celebrating their 20th year of music—and Memphis May Fire front man and new BEC Recordings signee Matty Mullins.

Superstar point guard John Wall has reportedly signed a 4-year, 170 million dollar contract extension with the Washington Wizards. This contract will keep Wall in Washington until 2023, per David Aldridge. Wall's contract includes a 15-percent trade kicker and a player option on the final year of his contract. This contract is only the third instance of a Designated Player Veteran Extension, also known to fans as the 'Supermax'.
Breaking: John Wall agrees to four-year, $170M extension with Wizards
Includes player option and trade kicker, per @ShamsCharania pic.twitter.com/ryI2rRx4IS
— Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) July 22, 2017
For Wall to qualify for the supermax, he had to make an All-NBA team, with him making the All-NBA third team this year. Wall was reportedly offered the contract extension at the beginning of free agency, but he was not ready to except the offer until he saw what moves the Wizards were going to make in the offseason. Some of the moves made by Washington include matching Otto Porter Jr's 4-year, $106 million offer sheet and signing Jodie Meeks to a two-year deal.
For @TheVertical: The Otto Porter Jr. max & why Wizards were happy to give $106 million to their third-best player https://t.co/sKXEXnrt3Q
— Michael Lee (@MrMichaelLee) July 20, 2017
Wall is coming off his best season yet, averaging 23.1 points, 10.7 assists, and two steals shooting 45.1 percent from the field. He is only 26-years-old and a promising point guard for a team who is looking to take the next step toward the NBA Finals. The Wizards seem to like their core set of players, since they resigned Wall, Porter, and Bradley Beal, with the aforementioned all keeping their futures alive at the Eastern Conference powerhouse.
John Wall just agreed to the contract extension lets go! "This is my city!" #Wizards pic.twitter.com/0dinu4isNC
— Zac (@DCzWall) July 22, 2017
With this being the third instance of a supermax contract extension, there are sure to be more in the coming years. With players like James Harden and Steph Curry signing these types of contracts, Wall is presenting himself as one of the best players in the league. If he keeps this pace, he could be on track to becoming one of the best point guards in the NBA.

There is something that's hitting the online world of gambling, something new and exciting. Casino play is officially more exciting and more accessible than it has ever been before, thanks to a rise in popularity as Internet casino sites become more available and bring their customers closer than ever before to the jackpots we usually associate with Las Vegas. Game developers are abandoning the land-based casinos for the exciting realm of online casino gaming, meaning that there's a huge new wave of innovative, unique software that give players plenty of reasons to come back and play.
Helping you jump aboard this amazing new trend is the following Realmoneycasino.win guide to Internet casino play, while we've also detailed a few of the amazing online casino offers currently floating around below as well.
New Internet casinos debut every year. Since the beginning of Internet casino gaming in the 1990s, they've gone from just a few sites to hundreds or even thousands. They don't just want any business, either, they want your business, and they're trying to bring in new customers with exciting bonuses and more every single day.
With the amount of choice available, it makes sense that most people are a little overwhelmed, especially newcomers to the online casino gambling scene. That's what we're here for – to help you get the best when it comes to online gambling. Get ready to take some notes, so that we can help you find the best casinos online to suit your needs.
Protect yourself at all times
Internet casinos are not as innocent as they have been in days past, now all competing to show you that their product is the best there is around. When it comes to safety and security, you should always do your research before signing up for any Internet casino. This means finding out what governing body licenses your Internet casino of choice, as the different governing bodies also vary in quality, much like the casinos in question. One good rule of thumb is to only play at Internet casinos where certain governing bodies license, such as the Gibraltar Betting and Gaming Association (GBGA), the Malta Gambling authority (MGA), and the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC). When it comes to respect licensing bodies, these are easily the best around in our eyes.
Putting power into your account
What really brings the gamblers in these days isn't the games being offered, or even the possibility of winning fantastic prizes or big jackpots. Instead, it's the bonuses that are offered, as online casinos are willing to offer almost anything in order to grab your attention. You can literally jump in and scoop up hundreds (or sometimes even thousands) of pounds with little financial input on your part. The real downside is, however, that a lot of these too-good-to-be-true offers are, in fact, too good to be true.
Internet casinos like to attach tons of tricky, hard to overcome conditions to their bonus deals, but don't worry – there's still plenty of quality deals out there to be found, if you know where to look. Putting in the work to find a good bonus deal can be arduous and difficult, but it must be done, or you'll only find yourself in worse condition than when you started. Look out for things like lofty cash out limits, low wagering requirements, and a lack of time limits. If you get lucky enough to find an Internet casino bonus deal with these three things, you'll have found a jackpot in itself.
Flat out entertainment
With security conquered and bonus money in your pocket, it can be hard to remember exactly why you wanted to play at Internet casinos in the first place. Entertainment is really what is driving the casino industry these days, as games should be the first thing you're out to play. You really can't take Internet casinos for their word sadly, however, as twisting the truth has become the cold method of many online casinos these days. They like to have just a few select titles, with little else to offer.
You want to search out an Internet casino that plays fast with their games, a casino that features everything from cards to slots. If you're looking for something in a niche, then you might ought to find a general play casino with a large library, then expand your horizons at another somewhere else. Basically, if the casino you're playing at doesn't offer a lot of different games, the entertainment level is low and it's best to get out sooner rather than later.
Always ready with a helping hand
If you find that somehow your casino gaming has gone awry, don't panic. If you're playing at a high quality Internet casino, you'll find that it will place a great deal of effort and emphasis on helpful customer service, and should make a big attempt to put a stop to anything that might be causing issue in your casino play.
Before you sign up at an Internet casino, make sure you take a look at what the customer service options are. Find out what the time expected for a reply is, and whether or not they offer an option for live chat. Live chat is the easiest way for a customer to get in touch with the casino's online support team, so if an Internet casino has that as an option, it's a definite plus.
Making money matters manageable
The last thing on our list to cover, money management is incredibly important. Years ago, Internet casinos really only offered a few ways to pay or get your winnings, but they can't get away with just a paltry offering anymore. Now, Internet casinos need to be all-inclusive when it comes to bankroll management.
Credit cards, debit cards, e-wallets, prepay cards, and wire transfers are all options that should be offered at the casino you play at. These are basically the tickets to financial freedom when it comes to Internet-based gambling, and will result in an easier experience for you overall.
We help you master the Internet casino domain!
While a lot of newcomers may be overwhelmed, Internet casino play isn't all that tough to get the hang of. You no longer need a big-time account balance in order to get started, and the idea of Internet casinos being an "exclusive" club is a myth. This Realmoneycasino.win guide will hopefully have shown you exactly what's needed to find an Internet casino that suits your gambling circumstances. With this information, you'll be on your way to success at an Internet casino of your choosing in no time at all.

Miso shiru, or miso soup, is a staple of Japanese cuisine. The soup is touted for its health benefits, much the same way chicken soup or matzoh ball soup is here in the West. The health benefits come from the active cultures contained in the miso – which is why you should look for unpasteurized miso, and avoid allowing the miso to boil.
Miso soup can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and usually is served with seasonal vegetables and cubed tofu. Traditionally, miso soup is made from hatcho miso, a dark miso, and a fish stock, called dashi. But because the dashi is time-consuming to make, and its taste subtle, it can easily be left out.
This is my version of
Miso Soup
2 cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons miso
1/4 pound tofu, cut into cubes
4 carrots, shaved
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 scallions, chopped
1. Heat the oil in a medium saute pan, over medium heat. Add the onions and tofu, and saute until the onions are translucent.
2. Reduce to low heat, and add the carrots, miso, and vegetable broth. Heat until the miso is smooth, but do not let the miso boil.
3. Add the scallions and serve.
This recipe serves two.

A New Age of International Business
Businesses create jobs, innovation and prosperity.
A thriving business environment is the backbone of any strong economy. We will build strong businesses internally and invite international businesses to come and innovate in the new DRC. The business sphere will be one that respects rule of law and enables the success of all investors, entrepreneurs, professionals and organizations.
We are inviting businesses to come and thrive in a new innovative environment of the new Congo. It is our highest priority to create a business-friendly environment in the DRC that respects laws and established regulations.
We will put an end to corrupt business practices in the new Congo and ensure that foreign investors are incentivized and rewarded for bringing their valuable businesses to the country.
We will focus on:
- Protection of foreign investments
- Lower taxes
- Lowering all duties on exports
- Lowering the cost of licenses and administrative fees
Any disagreement between the government and any entity doing business in the DRC will be litigated by the court and not by the government in order to level the playing field for all parties.
We will also establish a three-day licensing period so that businesses are able to obtain licenses in an efficient and effective manner.
Protection under the law for all foreign and domestic organizations and corporations doing business with one another
Mining Sector:
With more than twenty years of experience in the mining industry, Mr. Weyi and his administration will bring safety and stability to the mining sector. We will establish clear mining regulations and safety standards to eliminate explotation of workers and communities in mines and we will establish transparency in order to take advantage of Congo's vast mineral resources.
We will truly usher in a new age of business and innovation in the new Congo.
