Today is the 2nd day of the Freedom ride from Washington DC to Alabama.
Freedom Riders Map
50 years and a day ago today, there were a group of students and young adult who chose to test the newly instated federal laws around prejudices in America. Jim Crow laws were designed to keep people separated and prejudices alive in the south of the United States. Yesterday, I had the privilege and honor to watch the broadcast of Oprah and her thank you to these riders. She had 170 of the overall, 300 participants in her audience for the world to see. Ok Oprah, that is the first time you ever got me to instantly cry and turn into water works. You finally did it. It is absolutely overwhelming to know that generation of legacies are alive and kicking. THANK YOU! I am dedicated this day of broadcast to you! (Freedom Riders). Without your commitment to making a difference, I know I wouldn't have the life that I have now. Again Thank YOU!
My mom always reminded me, that struggle was not that long ago. A tradition in our house was Martin Luther King's birthday was always celebrated. That is why I was never in school on his actual birthday. MLK's birthday was a day for us to observe and honor the speeches, the commitment, and the difference in which all pof these individuals made for our lives. When the Freedom ride started my mother was 6 years old in the deep heart of Florida. Oprah had to again remind me of how recent this all occurred. I can admit due to my privilege and commitment to p[privilege from my parents, it never really seemed as a privilege. Now that I am older and wiser, I really understand and honor the privilege. Mama always said, "It wasn't that long ago that people had separate water fountains, bathrooms, restaurant entrances and so on. She even shared with me about her "great migration to the north". My grandmother, Betty Donnelley, moved her 5 children to Chicago, so that they too can have a better life. Thank you. These are things that reminds how precious my life, your life, our lives really are. So in honor of the Freedom riders, my parents, and Martin Luther King, my heart filled gratitude reaches out to you!
Enjoy the fruits of your labor. We are SheFM©.

Bourek Laadjine is a variety of Algerian savory pastries that is primarily made of bread rather than the traditional thin sheets of wrappers, hence the name that translates into bourek with dough. It can be served as an appetizer or with chorba. It is perfect during the month of Ramadan since it can be prepared and frozen in advance or right before serving. They are very similar to the South American empanadas and the filling can vary from meat, eggs or even just cheese.Also the dough can be fried or baked, the recipe can be changed easily to your tastes. Whatever your family likes, these will sure to be a treat.
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon yeast
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh mushrooms chopped
- 1 tomato chopped
- 1/2 cup frozen spinach
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- salt to taste
- Mix flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
- Add milk to warm water, mix.
- Slowly add water/milk mixture to bowl. All may not be needed.
- Mix until a rag consistency is made.
- Add a bit more water and start to knead. You want the dough to be slightly sticky.
- Once the dough has been kneaded, place into a floured bowl.
- Preheat oven to 300 for 1 minute.
- Turn off and place dough in oven for 1 hour to rise.
- In a pan heat olive oil over medium-high heat, add onion and sprinkle salt over to help sweat.
- Once the onion have become partly translucent add tomatoes. Saute until the onions have become clear and tomatoes have broken down. Cover.
- Add spinach, allow to break down then add mushrooms.
- Season with salt, pepper, and cinnamon.
- Continue to saute for a few more minutes then remove from heat.
- In another pan brown and season meat with salt, pepper, cinnamon and cumin.
- Add the vegetables into the meat and mix thoroughly.
- Let cool completely before forming.
- Roll a golf ball sized piece of dough on to a lightly floured surface with a thickness of about 4mm. It doesn't have to be perfect but the diameter should be able to cover 2 spoonfuls of filling.
- Fill with filling and fold over sides and roll in top and bottoms crimping as you turn them over.
- Place onto parchment paper and continue forming until you have run out of dough and filling. You should be able to make 8 hand pies with the dough.
- Let rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Brush pies with beaten egg.
- Sprinkle salt on top.
- Bake for 25 minutes.

THE latest exotic setting for an MTV reality show is Buffalo, New York. Really.
Camera crews have been trailing the members of a local sorority and fraternity at SUNY Buffalo for more than a week to film upcoming episodes of "Sorority Life" and its new spin-off "Fraternity Life."
"Sorority Life," which was first filmed at the University of California, Davis campus, debuted last June and has been averaging about 2 million viewers per episode according to MTV. It is expected to wrap up its first season on Sept. 9.
The season in Buffalo – which will follow adventures of pledge classes from UB's local Greek organizations, Sigma Chi Omega fraternity and Delta Xi Omega sorority – will begin airing next February.
Most Greek organizations at UB are based in North Buffalo's slum-like neighborhood of University Heights, near the school's South Campus and live in small homes that house up to nine people. The Greeks do not usually live in cushy fraternity or sorority house like on other campuses or other MTV programming a la, "The Real World."
But for these new shows, MTV took over the rent for some of the two Greek organizations' houses and redecorated the interiors so that they'd appear more snazzy on TV, according to industry sources.
The network also rented separate homes for each pledge class so they can live together and be filmed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The two shows are expected to air back-to-back on Monday nights and follow six pledges from each organization.

This was written before Training Camp, so it doesn't reflect anything that happened there. Also possible I missed someone, so let me know on that end.
1. WR Ernie Battle
New Team: Charleston
Old Team: Norwich
Terms: $138M/3 years ($108M Bonus)
Experience: 9th year
Battle is a star wide receiver in free agency, so naturally, he got paid and paid well. GIven FOFL economics, this is fairly unlikely to backfire on Charleston, unless he takes an immediate post-training camp ratings hit. At Battle's age, that is possible, but he likely will still be very valuable for most of his contract. Strong add to a strong team.
2. QB Randy Richert
New Team: Jupiter
Old Team: Austin
Terms: $100M/3 years ($10M Bonus)
Experience: 14th year
The other gem of free agency is long-time FOFL star Randy "Ace" Richert. He's older than Battle, and could retire at any time. Unlike Battle, Austin got in with a fairly low bonus, so the team can bail if the contract starts to look ugly with little downside. Austin was miserable offensively last year, and this will be a good test of what a big free agent pickup can do.
3. QB Todd Pineda
New Team: Chesapeake
Old Team: Chesapeake
Terms: $75M/3 years ($39M Bonus)
Experience: 12th year
May have been overshadowed by Richert's presence on the market. Normally I don't love when teams resign their own free agents (rather than extending them the previous year), but this may actually have been a good thing for Chesapeake, as Pineda should be OK through this contract, and the Chili Dog train will keep rolling.
4. DE Shane Hudson
New Team: Alabama
Old Team: Norwich
Terms: $55.47M/3 years ($12.84M Bonus)
Experience: 10th year
Hudson was probably the best defensive player on the market, with good ratings all around. Alabama may have gotten a slight discount, as Hudson's initial 2-year deal was voided, and teams may not have noticed him drifting back into the market. Even if he declines on Alabama, should be a good deal.
5. DE Terrell Noyes
New Team: Buffalo
Old Team: Alabama
Terms: $42M/3 years ($20M Bonus)
Experience: 4th year
The second of Alabama's new ends, Noyes isn't as talented as Hudson, but is much younger. This is a fairly high price for an okay player, but given Alabama's need at the position, it could pay off.
6. C Mitchell McIntyre
New Team: Chesapeake
Old Team: Chesapeake
Terms: $39M/3 years ($30M Bonus)
Experience: 5th year
Unlike Pineda, not extending McIntyre last season probably cost Chesapeake some real money. This, also, is a fairly hefty price for an okay player.
7. DE Morris Dunlap
New Team: Jupiter
Old Team: Jupiter
Terms: $36M/3 years ($12M Bonus)
Experience: 7th year
Dunlap is a pure pass rush specialist, who has been fairly consistent throughout his career. Hard to judge this contract without knowing what he wanted for an extension.
8. DT Nicky Middleton
New Team: French
Old Team: Coney Island
Terms: $36M/3 years ($4M Bonus)
Experience: 12th year
I love this contract. Middleton is one of FOFL's most decorated defensive tackles, and probably a future HOFer. He is still one of the 10-15 best defensive tackles in the league. And there is only 4 million in bonus on this contract, so French is protected for age-related decline or retirement. Big win for the Ticklers.
9. OLB Burt Johnson
New Team: French
Old Team: Washington
Terms: $33M/3 years ($9M Bonus)
Experience: 7th year
Johnson is a fairly solid player with good secondary traits, and a former 4th rounder made good. French was already a solid teams, but the really bad a nice offseason.
10. RB Paul Coles
New Team: White Rock
Old Team: Breizh
Terms: $31.13M/3 years ($10.86M Bonus)
Experience: 7th year
Coles was one of two feature running backs on the market this season. He lacks big play ability, but should be a very consistent runner.
11. T Oliver Cook
New Team: Jupiter
Old Team: Jupiter
Terms: $27.5M/3 years ($18M Bonus)
Experience: 7th year
Solid league-average OT, decent price. Nothing to see here.
12. S Kyle Colombo
New Team: Jupiter
Old Team: Jupiter
Terms: $25.5M/3 years ($3M Bonus)
Experience: 13th year
Colombo is still one of FOFL's best safeties. This contract turned out very well for Jupiter, as they are protected against any age issues, while still having a strong player at a decent price.
13. QB Christian Carter
New Team: French
Old Team: French
Terms: $25.09M/3 years ($4.65M Bonus)
Experience: 17th year
Obviously, French didn't want this future HOFer going anywhere else, and, unless Carter hangs around, it won't cost the team very much. No impact on the field, though.
14. OLB Jim Deisig
New Team: Myrtle Beach
Old Team: Buffalo
Terms: $25M/5 years ($5M Bonus)
Experience: 6th year
Not sure I get this one, as Deisig is no more than a backup. Obviously, he can be cut without too much damage, but I don't see the upside in this signing.
15. S Ivan Vendl
New Team: Jupiter
Old Team: Jupiter
Terms: $24M/3 years ($9M Bonus)
Experience: 7th year
One more Jupiter resign. Vendl is another average-ish player, who may be overpaid, but not ridiculously so.

Colombo, where the heart lies
I visited Colombo last November, on a brief vacation in Sri Lanka. The city is deeply historical and as a Tamil, I found that memories of the war live on in its people. I loved wandering into alleyways and discovering how a large part of the Sri Lankan population lived; some in poverty, others in luxury. It reminded me of India. However, I think the city of Colombo is now undergoing a deep transition - political and cultural - and I really hope that is for the better.

Vince Wertman, who recently graced the si-blog when he began blogging about the Philadelphia Eagles, is celebrating his birthday. I won't embarrass the old bastard by revealing how close to death he is, but I can pretty much guarantee that the beer will flow like a river this evening.

In this amazing image from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), Earth appears to rise over the Moon's lunar horizon.
The center of the Earth is just off the coast of Liberia and the large tan area seen here in the upper right is the Sahara Desert, and just beyond is Saudi Arabia. The Atlantic and Pacific coasts of South America are visible to the left. On the moon, we get a glimpse of the crater Compton, which is located just beyond the eastern limb of the moon, on the lunar farside.
Related: Earth stole water and more from the young Moon
"The image is simply stunning," Noah Petro, deputy project scientist for LRO at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, said in a statement. "The image of the Earth evokes the famous 'Blue Marble' image taken by Astronaut Harrison Schmitt during Apollo 17, 43 years ago, which also showed Africa prominently in the picture."
This image was composed from a series of images taken Oct. 12, when LRO was about 83 miles above the moon's farside crater Compton. To take the image, the spacecraft had to be rolled to the side while the LRO was traveling faster than 3,580 miles per hour relative to the lunar surface below the spacecraft.
Related: Strange volcanic structure found on moon's south pole
NASA's first Earthrise image was taken with the Lunar Orbiter 1 spacecraft in 1966 and its most iconic was taken by the crew of the Apollo 8 mission as the spacecraft entered lunar orbit on Christmas Eve Dec. 24, 1968. That evening, the astronauts -- Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot Jim Lovell, and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders -- held a live broadcast from lunar orbit, in which they showed pictures of the Earth and moon as seen from their spacecraft.
Said Lovell, "The vast loneliness is awe-inspiring and it makes you realize just what you have back there on Earth."

Kao Jai Fund: Your Mountain is Waiting/
"You're off to Great Places! Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting, So... get on your way!"
― Dr. Seuss,
One of the many reasons I am so excited to start Kao Jai Coffee is for the Kao Jai Fund. $1 from each purchase will provide an opportunity for someone to feel the fulfillment, love and understanding that service has brought to my life.
I began to truly understand the value of service while volunteering with a home repair organization in the mountains of Central Appalachia, which is a culture much different than my suburban Baltimore home.
Every day that week I arrived at the family's home early in the morning and worked until late in the evening. Not knowing a lot about construction left a lot of time for me to bond with the family we were serving. Learning about construction was definitely worthwhile, but sitting with the family and listening to stories about the local culture was much more powerful.
Before the trip I did not understand how someone could fall into "the cycle of poverty." I heard people say it's because they're lazy or it's because they don't work hard enough. Many people questioned why they didn't move away from their hometown to a place with more opportunities.
Everyone has the right to their own opinion, but it's not until we live in community and experience someone else's reality that we are able to value a person for who they are and their unique story. Sitting on the couch of a homeowner who was proud of the home her great-grandfather built many years ago made it clear why she couldn't just move away. For the first time in my life I got it. I understood that we all must serve others to truly kao jai (understand) and appreciate.
Taking a leap of faith and stepping out of your comfort zone to try something new by going on a service trip can be a financial burden. The Kao Jai Fund was created to give financial support to those seeking to serve others domestically. To learn more about what types of projects we support, visit our Kao Jai Fund page.
Please share this with those interested in taking a leap of faith to better understand others. The application opens on March 21st.
"Your mountain is waiting,
So...get on your way!"

Money and self-worth go hand in hand
jacquelinesnider ♦ August 12, 2016 ♦ Leave a comment
I'm working on Worthy: Boost your self-worth to grow your net worth by Nancy Levin to try and get a handle on why my income goes up and down, and why I feel as if I have no control over it.
Nancy Levin believes that our relationship with money is directly related with our relationship we have with ourselves. I must agree. I'm about halfway through the exercises and I'm finding out a lot about myself I didn't know.
I've been doing some serious internal work to come back from my breakdown 2.5 years ago and I thought I was finally getting to know myself pretty well, and also well enough to face some tough patterns that I'm obviously repeating as far as my money.
Even then I have learned things about myself and my history that have surprised me. This is very good. I need to know these things that I obviously haven't seen before to be able to change my thinking and then change my beliefs about myself and money.
That's not to say that it's easy. I am beginning to realize that I've been giving away my power around money because of old damaging patterns I learned in my childhood, both from my mother and father. And that I've given away my own power in my personal relationships in a very similar way, unfortunately. One is really mirroring the other.
It's a bit ugly actually. I value myself so much more now and I'm able to consciously see how much harder I've made my life for myself because of the damaging patterns I learned in my childhood. I am not blaming myself though. Nancy Levin is very clear about that. She reaffirms that we're working through the book to get better at valuing our own self-worth so we can't knock ourselves down because we are finding out things about ourselves that we didn't see before.
So I'm not, and that's not easy because my fallback position is to be harsh with myself. But that will only make it all worse. So I have promised myself that I will work through Nancy's book with a positive open mind. So far I have been able to do that. But the work is hard and humbling and encouraging and transformative all at once. The way it needs to be to get any results.

Natmags's digital publishing arm will relaunch its flagship women's portal Handbag.com next month with a heavy emphasis on social networking and personalisation functions.
The company has been has been previewing the redesigned site to ad buyers this week ahead of a scheduled 10 September relaunch, said Heart Digital Network managing director Nancy Cruickshank.
'We have completely reengineered the site,'Cruickshank told Press Gazette.
'It's using new technology, new content management systems and it puts our audience right at the heart of our product,'she said.
'It will let you do all of those Web 2.0 things, like housing your blog on the site."
The key new functionality is a MyHandbag social networking feature.
'You can find pictures that you like in galleries on the site, or product information and grab it to put it in and put the in your handbag. You can accessorise your Handbag,'Cruickshank explained.
Profile pages for the social network will be part of the initial launch, with additional new features to be rolled out until the end of the year.
Cruickshank said the relaunched Handbag.com will serve as a blueprint for a planned overhaul of the other titles in Natmags' portfolio of web sites which will also include the launch of a companion site for Harper's Bazaar.
In its last published ABCe figure, for October 2006, Handbag.com recorded 1.16 million unique users. A new ABCe audit, showing that the site now has just over 1.5 million users, is set to be published soon, Cruikshank said.
Natmags acquired Handbag.com from the Barclay Brothers' Press Holdings in October 2006. Cruickshank, who had been Handbag.com's managing director, took up the same role in Hearst Digital Network, which was created just days after the acquisition.

News Release
Analysis Drawn from Medidata's PICAS Database Uncovers a Significant
Increase in the Number of Distinct Procedures Impacting Both Trial Cost
and Site and
Drug Development Sponsors Can Use Data to Benchmark Against Organizational Practices and Help Optimize Protocol Design
The study found that the mean number of distinct procedures carried out per protocol increased significantly for Phases I, II and III, most notably among Phase II and III protocols. The frequency with which each distinct procedure was performed grew at an even faster rate, leading to higher growth in the mean number of total procedures and resulting in greater burden on study staff administering protocols and on patients participating in them.
"The study findings are compelling given the increased attention that
drug developers are placing on improving clinical trial speed and
efficiency," said
Phase I protocols were the most complex, with the highest mean number of distinct procedures (36) and total procedures (253) carried out in the 2011-2015 period. Phase III protocols saw the highest relative growth in total procedures carried out, increasing by 70% from a mean of 110 procedures in 2001-2005 to 187 in 2011-2015. A mean of 22 distinct procedures were carried out for each Phase III protocol in 2001-2005, compared with 35 in 2011-2015 — a 59% increase.
"The increasing complexity of clinical trials is taxing for patients,
researchers and sponsors," said
The dataset used for the analysis is based on clinical trial protocols drawn from Medidata's PICAS database of negotiated research grants. The PICAS database contains detailed protocol and investigative site contract data from more than 170 global pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. A total of 9,737 protocols were evaluated; 76% of the protocols were provided by companies in the top 25 largest globally and 24% by mid-sized and smaller companies. All protocols included in this analysis received ethical review board approval between 2001 and 2015.
The Medidata Clinical Cloud® brings a new level of quality and efficiency to clinical trials that empower our customers to make more informed decisions earlier and faster. Our unparalleled clinical trial data assets provide deep insights that pave the way for future growth. The Medidata Clinical Cloud is the primary technology solution powering clinical trials for 18 of the world's top 25 global pharmaceutical companies and is used by 18 of the top 25 medical device developers—from study design and planning through execution, management and reporting.

Some paleo experts don't allow desserts, but I find that this method is far too restrictive, and will untimely lead you to binge on other, more unhealthy foods in the long term. So, while I don't suggest that paleo treats make up the majority of your diet, I do think that enjoying a dessert made with real nourishing ingredients once in a while is in fact good for you. I mean what would a birthday celebration be without cake? You shouldn't have to miss out on delicious food just because you are eating paleo. So I created my FREE Pure and Simple Dessert Ebook filled with 10 of my favourite treats. There is something in here for everyone. Inside you will find recipes like Paleo Vanilla Mint Ice Cream Cake, Dark Orange Chocolate Fudge, Ranger Cookies and so much more! Simple leave your email address below and you will be sent your FREE copy of this virtual recipe book. Enjoy!

6th TROPHY ANDROS for JP. DAYRAUT!
This weekend was held the final of the Andros Trophy 2015, on the Super Besse circuit in Clermont Ferrand.
As we previously announced, we had to wait for the results of the last race to know the name of the champion.
JP. Dayraut, driving his MAZDA3, equipped with Absolut full-option Donerre becomes champion, at one point of the second, O. Panis.
Although that O. Panis passes the finish line first, JP. Dayraut finish 5th and ensures himself the overall victory.
Congratulations also to B. RIVIERE who has had a great season at the wheel of his DS3 also equipped with Absolut full-option, which finished the season in 4th place.
This weekend takes place the super final in Saint Die des Vosges, despite the misleading name, the results of the last race will not change the classification established at the end of the Super-Besse race.
Team Donerre damper, thank JP drivers. Dayraut and B. RIVIERE and their Teams for the confidence they have made throughout the 2015 season.

BT is to further extend its fibre broadband footprint in the UK, bringing the benefits of super-fast connectivity to a further 1.2 million premises.
Some 99 new exchanges are to be upgraded before or during spring 2014, serving approximately 600,000 homes and businesses across Scotland, the Midlands, the north-east and north-west of England.
Another 600,000 premises will also gain access to fibre broadband through 'infill' work in previously announced areas.
The number of fibre-enabled telephone exchanges around the UK will rise to 1,700 as a result of the latest upgrade announcement.
And with BT working with a number of county councils across the UK to roll out rural fibre services using Broadband Delivery UK funding, this number will continue to rise.
Mike Galvin, Managing Director for next-generation access at BT, said the UK is making "great progress" with super-fast broadband and this latest phase of work will keep up the momentum.
"Speeds are increasing all the time with the UK second only to Japan within the G8," he stated.
"I am sure that communities across the UK will be pleased to see they are factored into our commercial plans and I now look forward to working with councils to identify further areas that we can enable with their support."
Mr Galvin said the fibre deployment "continues to gather pace".
"Our engineers are working round the clock to hit our ambitious target of reaching two-thirds of UK premises with fibre during spring 2014 - at least 18 months ahead of the original timetable," he stated.
But Mr Galvin said the work does not stop there, as BT is increasingly turning its focus to the rollout of super-fast broadband in the UK countryside.
BT's commercial fibre network is already the largest in the UK, reaching more than 13 million premises to date.
Upon completion, the firm will have installed tens of thousands of fibre cabinets, enabled around 1,700 exchanges and laid more than 50,000km of cables across the country.

Have you ever been stuck in your life?
Yeah, I knew this would be difficult to explain.
Let me start again.
Have you ever feel like your life is a loop?
Like everything is always the same and nothing is changing?
And on top of that, you get the feeling that nothing will in fact ever change?
Do you feel me now?
You do?
GREAT, moving on!
I have been feeling like that from about umm, I don't know October.
I just started my Master's degree and I regretted it immediately.
But there was no turning back (because my parents would KILL ME) so I had to make the best of it.
And if you look at the date of the post you can see it's 9th April.
That means I have been in my "regret stage" for 6 months.
I apologize but I have not counted the months until writing this post and it really hit me.
Wow, 6 months. Nice job Lara, you loser!
So I have been regretting going to Masters for 6 months.
For half a year I felt sorry for myself, thinking I could be walking the streets of New York by now.
But something clicked in these past few days. (April is really good to me; ironically the only month I really despise in a whole year, turns out to be my best friend.) I don't know what it was, to be honest, I just had this vision in my head that I am a coward for not taking any sort of action to change who I am.
I, the person who always says that it's okay to change and that we change all the time because we are constantly learning, I AM DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO CHANGE MY LIFE.
As I said before, WHAT AN IDIOT!
One day (perhaps 1st April (which is even more ironic, since it's April's Fools Day)) I woke up, feeling sorry for myself yet again. I opened my bedroom door and walked towards the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror and I rolled my eyes (imagine: I rolled my eyes upon seeing myself).
Why you wonder?
Because I was sick of seeing who I am. I was angry with myself for feeling sorry for myself. I was a loser in my own eyes and if I see myself so low, then who, possibly, would see me in any other way.
I knew that I have to finish my Masters, so I am stuck in one place for a year and a half. Okay, no big deal, you can do something else anyway.
What are your hobbies?
What excites you?
What do you want to do?
I came upon a quote that went something like this: If you are in a place, where you can't quite achieve your dreams, think in another way: can you do something to get you on that path? Can you do something parallel to the thing you are doing now that once you finish the thing you can, not start on your dreams, but simply continue to achieve them?
It struck me like lightning, I am telling you.
It even hurt a little because I realized what an idiot I am. I am studying something that I will probably never do for the rest of my life. Still, I have enough time to start on my actual goals. I can start small now and I believe that I can get somewhere in a year and a half and once I finish college I can only continue on the path I imagined (and it would be easier too since I would already have the foundation to advance).
So I started working on the things that excite me. I took the time I was spending feeling sorry for myself and I set myself a goal to make every day in April productive. So far, it's the 9th and I have been productive EVERY SINGLE DAY!
This morning when I looked myself in the mirror (yes, I rolled my eyes but I rolled them because my hair was a mess not because I didn't like what I saw) I smiled to myself, knowing the things I set myself to do today. And this blog post is the last thing on the list and it's only half past seven! (Sh*t, what will I do for the rest of the day?)
I also noticed that for the past couple of days I have been given compliments of how happy I am:
Are you in love?
What happened that you are so happy?
Have you won the lottery?
What is going on?
What are you hiding?
And all I did was smile. I am not in love nor have I won the lottery (even though that would be a surprise since I didn't buy a ticket). I am not hiding anything and nothing in particular is going on (except my productivity and going out with friends).
It just simply dawned on me that I can do what I want despite being in the state I can't avoid. I simply confronted my obstacle and instead of jumping I went around it. I decided that it was time to change my life; that it was time to take action, to find what makes me happy and JUST DO THAT!
I may have needed a lot of time, but I did it. And that's what counts to me.
And if you are reading this and the only thing going through your head is that you are the same and that you need change than just go for it. We all have obstacles in our lives all the time and if we put all the fault on them we would forever be stuck in a loop. If we want to change, if we really want to be happy we have to stand up and fight!
We can't just wait around for life to change. We have to take action and change it ourselves.
We are always going to have obstacles in our way. It just depends on us what are we going to do. If we can't jump them right now, we can go around them and come back later. Either way, we need to move on.
HOWEVER, we can only do so when we are ready. Don't force yourself to change, change has to come naturally. If you force it you only ruin yourself.
It might sound funny, but sometimes we need to sit down with ourselves, have some therapy sessions in the mirror. Talk things through with ourselves and then prescribe the change.
As I said, I didn't even notice how happy I was until other people noticed. Because to me everything was normal, it just clicked one day and everything turned around. And now that I am thinking back I can see how much I actually changed (for the better I hope).
So talk to yourself, work things out. Everything is possible, you just have to be determined to do it and one day, it will just CLICK.
Read with you later, Lara. ❤

Conservation is the Best Energy Source, German Builders Prove it
Unlike profligate North Americans, in Germany they have gone from a standard house's consumption of fuel oil of up to 30 litres per square meter to "three litre houses" to "passive" (max 1.5 litres per square meter) to "positive energy" houses that give back more than they consume. Everybody is doing it; more than six thousand have been built. Architects compete to design the most energy efficient homes. Houses and apartments are being renovated and upgraded; The government gives subsidized loans to encourage it. It isn't even hard or high tech- lots of insulation, good siting for solar gain, "The heat released by small appliances and the body heat of the inhabitants -- which amounts to no less than roughly two kilowatt hours per person and day -- is largely sufficient. Automatic ventilation -- with a built-in heat retention system, of course -- ensures that the rooms don't get too stuffy." Their homes cost a lot more per square foot that North American ones do, so logically they build fewer square feet. What could be simpler?
We don't need to reinvent building technology and develop new expensive sources of energy, we just have to remember that Conservation is the World's best energy source, and build half as much twice as well.::Der Speigel

Hwaseong Fortress: Suwon Station, Exit 4, approx. 20-min by bus
Hwaseong Fortress, constructed in 1796, is an impressive and representative structure of the Joseon Dynasty. The fortress wall is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stretching over a total distance of 5.7 km. The Hwaseong Fortress Tourist Trolley allows tourists to travel from Yeonmudae Post to Paldalsan Mountain, Hwaseong Haenggung, Nammun Market, Suwon Hwaseong Museum, and then back to Yeonmudae Post. In spring, royal azaleas bloom along the walkway between Changnyongmun Gate and Paldalmun Gate. In addition, the Suwon Hwaseong Cultural Festival is held every October here.

Paldalmun Gate is the southern gate of Hwaseong Fortress. A semi-circular wall called ongseong is built on the outside of the door. Unlike most ongseong during the period, Hwaseong Fortress' ongseong was built surrounding the center of the main gate for convenience rather than being built at the corners. Paldalmun Gate was able to survive the Korean War with minimal damage and is close to its original condition.

Stalking: Officials promote public awareness
January is National Stalking Awareness Month.
Local officials are working to make the public more aware of a crime that affects 3.4 million victims each year.
As part of the effort to help make the community more aware of stalking, a press conference was held Wednesday morning, Jan. 10 at the Union County Courthouse in Jonesboro.
Officials also highlighted the importance of timely reporting for victims of stalking.
Presentations were shared at the press conference by Union County State's Attorney Tyler R. Edmonds, Union County Sheriff Scott Harvel and Cathy McClanahan, who is the executive director of The Women's Center in Carbondale.
The sheriff noted during the press conference that "our mission is quite simple: to promote awareness and educate not only the victims, but also the citizens of this community so that everyone has a better understanding about stalking."
Stalking is a Felony
Edmonds reminded those at the event that stalking is a felony in Illinois and a crime in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The state's attorney said that many victims and criminal justice professionals underestimate the seriousness and impact of stalking.
He explained that stalking is defined as a course of conduct directed at a person that would cause a reasonable individual to feel fear.
In one of five cases, stalkers use weapons to harm or threaten victims. Stalking is one of the significant risk factors for homicide in abusive relationships.
Victims of stalking suffer anxiety, social dysfunction and severe depression at much higher rates that the general population. Many lose time from work or have to move as a result of their victimization.
Stalkers Seek to Frighten, Control
"Stalking is a serious crime that often goes unreported or unrecognized," Edmonds stated.
"Stalkers seek to frighten and control victims through intimidation and harassment. These behaviors often escalate and that makes timing critical. Timely reporting and timely prosecution can save lives."
Unlike other crimes, officials noted, stalking is not a single, easily identifiable crime.
Instead, stalking is a series of acts, a course of conduct directed at a specific person that cause fear in the victim.
Stalking may take many forms, such as assaults, threats, vandalism, burglary or animal abuse, as well as unwanted cards, calls, gifts or visits.
One in four victims reports that the stalker uses technology, such as computers, global positioning system devices or hidden cameras, to track the victim's daily activities.
"Victims should trust their instincts and report stalking behaviors to law enforcement," Sheriff Harvel said.
"Communication with police is critical – victims should tell police when these are not isolated incidents."
Keep a Record
The sheriff also strongly urged victims "to keep a log of the stalker's behavior and save texts, emails and social media posts to share with police."
"Just as important," the sheriff stated, "it is the duty of law enforcement to ask the appropriate questions to identify these patters and collect the vital information to establish a 'course of conduct' in an effort to effectively prosecute (the stalker) and protect the victims of such crimes.
"It is my recommendation that all forms of unwanted behavior directed to any victim should be reported to law enforcement.
"Certainly, when the unwanted behavior rises to a level of imminent danger to life or safety, the victim should immediately report the incident to 911."
Support Victims
"As prosecutors, police and victim advocates, we urge the public to recognize this crime and take steps to support victims," said Cathy McClanahan of The Women's Center.
"If you or someone you know is the victim of stalking, please seek help," McClanahan said. "The Women's Center and other agencies are available 24 hours a day to provide a safe place for victims and to stand with victims through the court process."
The Women's Center Inc. was created in 1972 to provide a safe, secure environment for Southern Illinois women and their children, the organization's website noted.
The website also noted that The Women's Center's services are confidential, free of charge and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year to women, men, adolescents and children in Franklin, Jackson, Johnson, Perry, Saline, Williamson, Union, and Gallatin counties.
McClanahan shared "four golden rules for stalking victims":
Have no contact with the stalker (with emphasis on "no"). Tell others. Increase personal protection. Collect evidence/document.
Difficult to Recognize
Officials who spoke at the press conference explained that stalking is difficult to recognize, investigate and prosecute.
Stalkers fit no standard psychological profile. Many stalkers follow their victims from one jurisdiction to another, making it difficult for authorities to investigate and prosecute their crimes.
Communities that understand and recognize stalking can support victims and combat the crime, officials noted.
Take Action
Edmonds, Harvel and McClanahan joined to encourage victims to take action if they are being stalked. Those actions include:
•Trust your instincts. Don't let others pressure you to downplay the stalker's behavior.
•Call the police. Report stalking to police. When it isn't an isolated incident, give police the full story, explaining the pattern of behavior. If you feel you are in immediate danger, call 911.
•Keep a log. Keep a written log or record of the stalking behaviors, including the date, time and location.
•Save emails, texts and social media posts. Save any written communication from the stalker to provide to police.
•Call for help. Help is available 24 hours a day from many resources, including:
The National Domestic Violence Hotline, 1-800-799-SAFE.
The Women's Center Inc., 1-800-334-2094, thewomensctr.org.

After my divorce, singing lifted me out of depression
Recent studies have shown that singing, especially singing in harmony with others, is remarkably effective at combatting depression. Indeed, those studies suggest that singing in harmony combats a number of conditions, including Parkinson's and high blood pressure. The body's rewards for screwing up the courage to sing include an outpouring of endorphins (pain relief), dopamine (pleasure, alertness) and serotonin (euphoria, contentment), as well as a reduction in cortisol (signals level of stress).
The corollary benefits of singing in a group are more social. We are not alone; we are part of an organism greater than us, one that we can fold ourselves into. For a brief time, we can dispose of our natural selfishness and bathe in a happy, harmonious experience.

Multiplexing is really cool. Put simply, it lets you control lots of LEDs with only a few wires. I've been doing quite a bit with multiplexing recently, but I haven't found a nice simple introduction yet, so I wrote one.
Multiplexing is based on the fact that an LED is a diode, and diodes only let current flow in one direction. This can be annoying at times (if you install them the wrong way they don't work, and they need DC power to run off), but can be quite advantageous at other times. Most LEDs won't be damaged if you connect them backwards at a vaguely-sane voltage, they just won't turn on.
For example, if we wanted to switch between two LEDs being on, normally you'd connect a wire to the positive legs of each of them, and connect the other legs to ground: a grand total of 3 wires.
However, because LEDs only conduct in one direction, it's possible to do this with just 2 wires. The LEDs are connected across the wires with one in one direction, and one in the other., as shown in the diagram.
If the blue wire is connected to -, and the red wire to +, the left-hand LED will light. If the blue wire is connected to + and the red to -, the right hand LED will light.
It's even possible to get both LEDs to light, by very quickly switching from positive to negative on each wire. This relies on a phenomenon called persistence of vision – essentially, if you switch a light on and off fast enough, the eye is too slow at seeing the change, so the LED just seems as if its on. More on that later.
Similarly, the same can be done with 3 wires. In the diagram below, any one of the LEDs can be turned on independently, if the wires its connected to are connected to the right things. For example, to turn on the LED second from right, the red wire is set to positive and the purple to negative.
The blue wire is said to be 'floating' – it is in neither positive or negative states. This essentially means there is no voltage connected, so the only way there would be a current is through electromagnetism or charge, but we don't need to worry about that here. Because it is unconnected, and has no voltage or current, the LEDs connected to it don't light. The rightmost LED doesn't light because it's connected in reverse, so only the second-from-right LED lights up. Again, multiplexing could be used here to light any combination of LEDs.
Similarly, 4 LEDs can be used:
The diagram above shows what can be done with 4 wires. Here, we can start to see a pattern. With 2 wires, we could control 2 LEDs. With 3 wires, we could control 6 LEDs. For 4 wires, 12 LEDs.
We can calculate the number of LEDs you can light with a given combination using a formula:
n x (n-1) . So if we had 100 wires, we could light
100 x 99 = 9,900LEDs. If we wanted to light 90 LEDs, rearranging and solving the equation gives
n = 10, so 10 wires would be needed.
Neat huh? This is most useful when using a microcontroller or Raspberry Pi – you can control far more LEDs with less pins than if you were doing them all individually, and you don't have to use expensive addressable LEDs (like Neopixels), multiplexing only uses plain ol' LEDs.
One of the biggest uses of multiplexing is for LED displays:
For this project, the LEDs were connected in a grid: the rows were the anodes of the LEDs and the columns were the cathodes. Consider a grid of LEDs, connected in numbered rows and alphabetic columns, like the one below.
To turn on A2, we'd apply a voltage to row 2, and connect column A to ground. Simple right?
But if we wanted to turn on, say, A0 and H7, if we simply applied a voltage to rows 0 and 7, and grounded columns A and H, two more LEDs would light: A7 and H0.
So, the way around this is to very quickly scan through the rows faster than the eye can see, and light the desired LEDs in that row. When you scan through the rows quick enough, it looks like the desired LEDs are all on at the same time as the eye cannot detect the change.
Shift registers are often used to further reduce the number of microcontroller pins (they allow you to convert a single stream of serial data, to a number of streams of parallel data, so you only have to use one input signal to control a number of outputs) but that's a story for another day! There are also chips designed specifically to do multiplexing and drive large numbers of LEDs.
Multiplexing is often used for most LED displays (the kind on the front of buses or at train stations). If you point your phone camera at the front of a bus, you sometimes won't be able to read the screen, because the camera updates faster than the screen so you can see the lines being drawn.
This same principal can be used with other components too: for example, you could read from an 8×8 grid of buttons the same way.
There is lots more to multiplexing – but maybe I'll cover that in a later post…..
