Earlier this month, Senator Rodriguez participated in the 7th Annual Ambassador and Consuls General Tour of the Philippines. In addition to the tour, Senator Rodriguez visited with patients from Guam in St. Luke's Medical Center and The Medical City. The senator also met with medical specialits and hospital administrators to begin communication for future collaborations and visits to Guam.
"Though it was under unfortunate circumstances, it was a pleasure to meet with patients from Guam who were in the Philippines receiving treatment. I was able to listen to their concerns and bring them a little piece of home, as many of them have been there for extended periods of time. The visit was a reminder of all the work that needs to be done to improve our local healthcare system and I stand committed to doing just that," stated Senator Rodriguez.

The Past Thirty Years of American Geography As Shown in the Directory of College Geography.
Adams, William G.; Schwendeman, Joseph R., Jr.
The paper presents an overview of enrollment in college-level geography courses from 1949 to 1978 and predicts enrollment trends for the near future. All data are based on the Directory of College Geography of the United States. First published in 1949, the directory lists all college and university departments offering geography, the size and status of the department, faculty professional activities, major student activity, and total number of students enrolled in geography courses. This paper focuses on specific information in the following areas: comparative data on higher education and geography enrollment from 1949-1978, introductory course enrollment, regional course enrollment, status of enrollment in quantitative courses, and acceptance of recent curricular developments such as planning courses. For each topic, information is presented on a national and a regional basis. Findings indicated that 1) geography enrollments have grown tremendously since 1949, with the greatest increase occuring from 1953 to 1963; 2) increases in geography enrollments did generally not equal the increase in university enrollments; 3) world regional geography accounts for approximately 80% of total regional course enrollments; and, 4) courses based on planning and quantification techniques are firmly entrenched within the discipline. Regarding future trends, the paper suggests that overall geography enrollments should hold their own and, possibly, increase; enrollments in regional courses are unlikely to improve much; the saturation point in quantitative enrollments is probably near; and, planning course enrollment is likely to stabilize and may decrease.

The most dangerous place for an African-American baby? In the mother's womb.
The astounding fact is that 50% (yeah, that right: 50%) of all pregnancies in the African-American community end in abortion.
Eugenicist Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was quite clear on her goals:
"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."
Margaret Sanger's December 19, 1939 letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, 255 Adams Street, Milton, Massachusetts. Original source: Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College, North Hampton, Massachusetts. Also described in Linda Gordon's Woman's Body, Woman's Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America. New York: Grossman Publishers, 1976.
If you are pro-abortion, is this the type of thinking you wish to align yourself with? Does Planned Parenthood offer "reproductive services", or are they based on truly horrifying, racist ideals?
As Bryan Kemper of StandTrue.com says, "Social justice begins in the womb."

It's rodeo time!
(Except that it started a week later than usual this year because of the Super Bowl, so I'm not sure if we'll even go because of baseball schedules and spring break.)
But we did hit up the BBQ Cookoff for the 3rd year in a row. We had wristbands for all the same booths and we always go with the same friends, so now it feels like a tradition.
We had a great time (as always) and I got to wear a cowboy hat.
And with all the thousands and thousands of people out there, I even ran in to Cassie!

I remember saying you good-bye.
I hugged you, oh, I wasn't shy.
You said to me that you'll come back soon.
Days passed, I missed you, brighter became the moon.
Sometimes on the road, when I walk alone.
Humming a song, in my own tone.
I remember the day, When you and I,
were running, a race that ended in a tie.
You lay down next to me,
The blue sky, and the morning sun I could see.
You held my hand, you looked so calm.
A whistle blew, the bird flew, towards a distant palm.
And now, that you're away,
There's not much that I want to say.
One day, on the same path, we'll meet.
Just to run again, in the fields of wheat.
One day, just the two of us, would go again.
Just to walk slowly, in the rain.

Those of us who have been watching the United Nations for any number of years are often faced with pressing questions.
An organization decided to preventing war, genocide, and promoting healthy relationships with countries frequently fails to do so.
The collected might of the world's leading nations cannot prevent terrorists from attack civilians, warlords from slaughtering villages, or nations bombing or invading other nations. It seems that the entire UN is more concerned with maintain political popularity than doing the right thing.
This has never been more true than with the recent resolution on Israel. It is an insult to that nation and all its citizens.
But there are some in the United States that won't be silent about it.
From Breitbart:
During Tuesday's "Fox & Friends," former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR) suggested taking a jackhammer to the United Nations after the Security Council voted to condemn Israeli settlements.
If @GovMikeHuckabee had his way, we'd get rid of the UN…do you agree? pic.twitter.com/NhseipwQE8
— FOX & friends (@foxandfriends) December 27, 2016
"I think we ought to get jackhammers and we ought to jackhammer the whole thing off, float it into the East River," Huckabee said. "Ask anybody who would like to host it, to come pick it up, haul it off. And it'll be a lot easier to park in Manhattan after we get rid of it."
The resolution condemned Israel for expanding it settlements for its people, thus making that nation that has fought for decades to exist an enemy in the eyes of the UN. Even worse was the U.S.'s refusal to veto the resolution, under President Obama's guidance.
Such a resolution would give the UN power to put sanctions on Israel, or ban them from conducting trade with other countries. It can give power to their enemies to steal land or even attack civilians.
The very organization meant to protect nations and help them thrive is now a tool to destroy them.
Many Americans believe that without the U.S.'s support, they'd be no UN. Huckabee's colorful words agree with many Americans, who would rather see the organization leave America and allow someone else to deal with it.

Cleaning tip that actually works
I read this cleaning tip somewhere recently and tried it this weekend and it actually works. To make cleaning your microwave early, nuke a microwave-safe glass of water for about three minutes. The steam loosens up the microwave gunks and makes it easy to wipe off. (Not, of course, that my microwave is ever anything but pristine at all times. I was just doing this in the name of science.)

Winning all four at some point in a career, even if not consecutively, is referred to as a Career Grand Slam, while winning the four majors and a gold medal in tennis at the Summer Olympics has been called a Golden Slam since 1988, when Steffi Graf accomplished that feat in a single calendar year.
Australian Open is the youngest one of the Four Grand Slam. It began in 1905. The competition is held annually from January to February in Melbourne, Australia National Tennis Center. In 1968l, it was listed as one of the four Opens. It is the same as the U.S. Open with a hard tennis court, which is helping for the base line driving、top spin or

One of the longest running "reality" shows in history, the first season of the American version of Big Brother began airing all the way back in the year 2000 and continues to this day. A show that focuses on a group of people who live in a home together, compete to last until the end and be crowned the winner, the key to its popularity is casting compelling personalities. Fortunately, over the years they've found a lot of success in this regard with names like Dr. Will Kirby, Britney Haynes, Dan Gheesling, Daniele Donato, Evel Dick, and Mike "Boogie" Malin standing out. Currently, in the midst of its nineteenth season, we'd argue that there is nobody that is standing out quite as much as the beautiful Jessica Graf. Realizing that is what inspired us to put together this list of the twenty steamiest photos of Big Brother's Jessica Graf.
In order for a photo to be up for consideration for inclusion here, the only prerequisite is that Jessica Graff from Big Brother can be seen and looks great. That means that the inclusion of people other than this much discussed "reality" star will have zero effect on the placement of a photograph on this list. Screengrabs of her from any media appearances are fair game as she has a history of looking incredible wherever she goes and we'd be fools to exclude them. So, without any further ado, let's get to the list.
20 Simply Stunning
There are a lot of attributes in a woman that those of us that are attracted to females are likely to find lovely to look at. Some of the parts of a lady we have eyes for that will jump out to us early and often, include their derriere, legs, chest, midriff, and her entire torso. As a result of that, we're happy to admit that most of the time the pictures that we're likely to find hot will feature a view of one or more of these parts of someone's body. That is why a picture like this one of Jessica that doesn't give a good perspective on any of those had its work cut out for it if it was going to appear here. Fortunately, for this list and all of you, this picture allows its viewers to reflect on how stunning her face is, especially with her makeup entirely on point.
19 Racy Robe
If you're starting to fret at all, we're here to tell you that you don't need to worry. Just because we've listed two images of Jessica in a row where barely any of her body is visible doesn't mean that trend will continue, far from it in fact. However, while we continue to look at this image we should sit back and enjoy what makes this image so incredible. Showing her lying on a bed while wearing a robe, it provides a view of her that in most cases only those that were romantic partners of hers would receive. If that doesn't do it for you then you may need to work on your ability to imagine. On top of that, her choker looks great and seeing her run her fingers through her hair makes this feel all the more intimate.
18 White Bikini
A picture of Jessica sporting a white bikini in front of what might be a door, anyone that was fortunate enough to enter the room she is in wearing that piece of clothing should thank their lucky stars. Posted on her Instagram account, the fact that this image was readily available to the masses prior to her entering the Big Brother house and she didn't go viral blows us away. We say that because it seems like she has a body that was crafted for the purpose of making a bikini like this one look marvelous. Possessing a body that is obviously quite fit but still looks soft to the touch, in our opinion, there are few body types that we find more appealing.
17 Scene Magazine Dream
One of the few photos on this list that features Jessica alongside other people, the fact that there is a pair of other beautiful women here does nothing to dull the attention we're lavishing on her. In fact, if you are anything like us you immediately realized she wasn't alone, but once you checked her out it took quite a while to appreciate the looks of her photo accompaniment. Evidently taken at an event for Scene Magazine, it seems clear that Jessica and her cohorts were there to make people pay attention to this publication. An iffy decision since it took us a while to even realize a magazine had anything to do with this, the only reason this may be a good idea is we'd enjoy any magazine that had images of women as hot as Jessica.
16 T-Shirt
For some people, it may not be evident instantly why we enjoy this picture enough for it to make this list at all, let alone ranking higher than some of the images you've already seen. A screengrab from the Big Brother live feed, the thing that we love about this image is that it seems like she is wearing a T-Shirt that is several sizes too big for her. In our mind, that brings thoughts of a woman wearing the clothing of her partner the morning after, which is a view that many of us love to be greeted with. As a result, this image is perfect fodder for fantasies of spending a night with Jessica, and if you are attracted to her body that is a wonderful thing.
15 Belly Button Ring
Supposedly a VIP concierge prior to her time as a "reality" TV star, we realize that is a job that is usually given to gorgeous women but a photo like this one proves that she had other things in mind. Obviously an aspiring model as well, this is yet another picture that shows that had she not used Big Brother as her claim to fame there was a possibility it could have arrived anyway. Looking fantastic in this picture, it shows that she was capable of taking shots that could have easily been used to advertise any item that people wanted to be sold to adults. Additionally, even if she had no major photography plans, this is a thing of beauty since we get to see her with a belly button ring, which is something we find very seductive on the right person's body.
14 Barely There Bottoms
Another screengrab from Jessica's time in the Big Brother house, this is the first of two images you'll find on this list of her with her TV beau Cody. Sitting poolside together, spending time soaking or sunning are two of the main ways that the houseguests waste the day as it is a good way to pass time. A lovely fact since it means they spend time in their swimwear, here we see Jessica from the side in her bikini. The fantastic part is that at first glance it seems like she may not have bottoms on even though she clearly does when you look closer. Still, just because all of her naughty bits are covered doesn't mean that we can't enjoy the fact that it looks like that could easily not be the case.
13 Sports Bra
One of the most interesting garments out there, of all modern fashion inventions we think there are few that are more celebrated than the sports bra. Extremely practical for women that need workout gear which provide the support their chest require, they've given legions of women comfort they could have otherwise been denied. As much as we appreciate that fact, we're not going to pretend we enjoy them for altruistic reasons only. For us, we adore them in this moment when one is being photographed on a woman like Jessica providing a view of her cleavage that is delectable. Additionally, this picture is improved even more because of the fact that she seems to be enjoying the effect she knows this image will have on those that see it.
12 Bedtime
The second of the pictures of Jessica with Cody Nickson, this time around they're enjoying their time in the large and luxurious Head of Household bed. Evidently very comfortable with one another by the time this screengrab was taken, they are at a stage in their relationship where Jessica feels at home laying her body on top of his torso. There is no doubt in our mind that the person that enjoys that more than anyone is Cody who gets to feel her flesh all over him, but let's ignore him altogether. Instead, this image provides the viewer with the opportunity to imagine themselves in his place and the idea of being near someone this splendid looking is something anyone attracted to women is likely to dig.
11 Side View
Sometimes people don't think about it but there is a lot that goes into being a contestant on Big Brother that has nothing to do with their time inside the house. Having to go through an extended casting period, it can take years for them to make the cut and then they have to make the arrangements to temporarily abandon the life they've built. Once those things are done they have to also take part in things like interviews and photoshoots for advertising purposes. An example of the latter, here we see a picture of Jessica from the side that CBS took and is far more risqué than we'd expect them to embrace. In fact, if you haven't noticed that the side of her chest is visible then you've probably begun to smile wide now that you see it and understand exactly why this photo made the cut here.
10 Lingerie
Earlier on this list, we looked at why we believe that the sports bra was a stroke of genius for whoever it was that first designed them and now it is time to appreciate the greatness that is lingerie. A type of clothing that is incredibly varied, it can be a myriad of different colors and designs but all varieties of it have one thing in common, they are meant to be tools of seduction. As a result of that, there are few things that we love a beautiful woman wearing more than lingerie and that holds true here. A picture of Jessica wearing what appears to be a corset, it is tight to her torso and pushes up her chest expertly. On top of that, we can just barely see what appears to be underwear on her hip in the bottom right corner of this picture which puts this image even more over the top.
9 Latex?
We have to admit the fact that we are no experts in the materials that people use to create items of clothing. As such, in this picture of Jessica, we're guessing she is wearing a latex dress but if you told us it was something else entirely, as long as it wasn't something silly like wool, we'd totally buy it. Fortunately, we really don't care too much what her clothing was made of and are only concerned with how it looks on her. Appearing to be very tight to her body, it gives the viewer a very good idea of what she is physically working with. If that weren't enough, and it totally is, the dress is also cut in such a way that we get to see a whole lot of her chest and legs which is something that fans of her looks like us can't get enough of.
8 Beach Time
A photo of Jessica laying on her stomach on a beach, there are some very obvious reasons why this picture was a shoo-in for this list from the moment that we came across it. Still, it could have been found much lower on this list instead so we're going to paint a mental picture of what we thought of that pushed us to rank it so high. Imagine this, you're looking for something to do on a summer afternoon and somebody suggests you take a trip to a beach. Once there you opt to take a walk by yourself and suddenly you come across Jessica at the exact moment this picture is being taken. If you ask us coming across her in this state is something that might be dangerous to your health since it could send you into a pleasure coma.
7 Wrap Bikini
In the celebrity obsessed culture that is so prevalent these days, there are a lot of people that would jump in an instant at almost any opportunity to become a star. That is why the houseguests go through the trying experience of being taken away from their family and friends and live in a home with strangers cut off from the outside world entirely. It should be remembered, however, that they are also taking a huge risk since they have no idea how the public feels about them inside the house and could be coming out to a huge backlash. Someone that has a complicated image so far, this image is a great example of why her smile seems a little bit put on, but that in no way takes away from how incredibly attractive she looks here.
6 In House Cleavage
The show Big Brother has been enough of a ratings hit for CBS that it has been a mainstay of their programming for almost two decades. However, the powers that be at the network seem to be quite smart and have figured out a way to extend the brand further, as well as creating a new revenue source for themselves in the process. Streaming a live stream daily of the goings on inside the house, it is the ultimate package for obsessed fans that want to see things take place outside of the edit. Still, for those of us with a busier life, the idea of spending the time needed to watch these feeds is a pretty hard sell. If they are looking for a way to sell people on the worth of this service, they could use this image of Jessica's cleavage that was found on a feed as we think this view is worth the time and money.
5 Decorative Scarf
One-half of one of the most talked about pairings in recent Big Brother history, early in July, Jessica and her showmance partner Cody Nickson, were voted the most annoying members of this season's cast. As is the case with most "reality" stars, these two have their haters and defenders and we totally understand why she is criticized heavily as well as loved. We will say that we think that a good portion of those that enjoy watching her do so because she is such a beautiful woman. Seen here in a picture that she posted on her Instagram account, it is very clear that she knows she is totally rocking it. Wearing a decorative scarf adorned with golden jewelry over her bottoms, she looks amazing overall but we love the way that draws our attention to her impressive waist.
4 Red, White & Blue
Big Brother has become an entertainment behemoth with a version of it that airs in many countries around the world. Starting out with a version that aired on Dutch television, since then it debuted original versions in countries like Canada, The UK, Africa, Albania, Scandinavia, Germany and too many more to list here. Of course, for this list, it is the American version of the show that is most important since it is the one that Jessica is a part of which makes this image pretty much perfect. Sporting a bikini that is patriotically red, white, and blue, it feels like the right beachwear for someone tapped to represent herself and to a lesser degree her country on the entertainment stage. It is also wonderful for the much more obvious reason that it accentuates her impressive chest.
3 Booty
You may have noticed that the vast majority of the pictures on this list show Jessica from the front and for the most part, we're totally okay with that. After all, she is a ravishing woman and the view from that vantage point is extraordinary to say the very least. However, you then see a picture of her like this one that is shot from the side but provides a view of her booty, and it makes you wonder why she doesn't show it off more often. At the very least, if she isn't going to give images of it on Instagram, you'd think that her photoshoots would do a better job in this regard. Either way, we're pleased to be able to appreciate her rear end here.
2 Deep Cleavage
Looking as though she is getting ready for a night on the town, one thing is clear in this photo of Jessica, if she entered a room wearing this there would be few people that could draw attention away from her. We're not sure if she is about to meet up for a dinner date, is looking forward to dancing the night away with friends in a club, or something else but wherever she is going the temperature is about to rise. Wearing either a top or dress that is black and cut down her chest, we're not sure what force is holding it on her but it is doing its job handily by keeping her covered while also providing cleavage for days. In fact, all we can say here at the end of the day is 'wow'.
1 Big Brother Photoshoot
A show that has a lot of traditions, one thing fans of America's Big Brother have seen year after year is a photoshoot of each season's cast in their swimwear. A little bit surprising at first blush since it is so revealing, it makes perfect sense once you reflect on it as that makes it a great source of advertising. On top of that, any viewer of the show will tell you that the castmates spend hours on end wearing their swimwear so it gives you an idea of what you have to look forward to. One of the images of Jessica from her part in this shoot, we think that this one piece swimsuit does her body good. The reason that this image beats out other pictures of her in swimwear in our opinion, however, is that her arm's positioning means we can see side cleavage, as well as the look at all of her legs.

A man mistakenly released from Valdosta State Prison is accused of pulling a knife on an elderly woman and child before tying them up in Jones County on Dec. 29.
Charles Anthony James, 24, was arrested in Springfield, Ill., on Tuesday after a canine unit found him hiding in a warehouse after he fled from a car accident with a stolen vehicle, said Kenny Gleaton, an investigator with the Jones County Sheriff's Office. "I'm glad he's in custody before he gets into any more mess," Gleaton said.
James has been linked to multiple crimes since he stepped off a bus in Macon on Dec. 27. About noon Dec. 29, a 79-year-old baby sitter and the 9-year-old girl she cares for returned home to Emerald Park Drive off Joycliff Road to find an unknown man inside.
The intruder bound both victims, demanded the woman's 1993 Dodge Caravan and fled.
The abandoned van was recovered Jan. 3 on Interstate 24 in Cadiz, Ky., where a similar home invasion involving a man with a knife robbing an 88-year-old woman and her 65-year-old daughter took place, Gleaton said.
Another vehicle was stolen in that case and was recovered in the Springfield accident.
Jones County investigators had been tracking James since Jan. 7, when a man living about a quarter-mile away from Emerald Park Circle had found James' personal identification papers. Gleaton learned James had been mistakenly released from prison after serving time for a Richmond County robbery but he also was wanted in that county on other charges in the Augusta area, including rape and robbery, he said.
Investigators in Illinois found stolen property in the vehicle that came from multiple burglaries in Sangamon County.
"As far as we know, no one has been hurt along the way but he covered a lot of territory so it's certainly a possibility he committed more crimes along the way," Gleaton said. "He got off the bus in Macon and everything went downhill."
Jones County has placed a hold on James but expect him to return to Richmond County first to answer the charges there.

How Good Is Your Gas?
Most of you will, as a DAN member, receive the DAN magazine Alert Diver.
In a previous edition you will have read about the investigation on breathing gas quality .
It showed that in a large number of cases the quality of the breathing gas was far below the standards on CO, a gas that you really don't want in your breathing gas for diving. There have been fatalities because of CO in breathing gas!
Bad maintenance on compressors is one of the possible causes.
The daily practice in cylinder and equipment servicing proves that not only CO and, as a result, possibly also CO2 is a problem, but also other contaminations like oil is being found in valves, cylinders and blending equipment.
The production of Oxygen Enriched Air has become popular all over the world since ANDI started promoting the application of SafeAir in 1987. For the production of EAN mixes standard breathing gas is not suitable. A much cleaner air is necessary for safety in the production. Looking at the ANDI Gas Standards that have become the world standard for Oxygen Compatible Air, you can see that the amounts of allowed contamination are smaller then for standard breathing air. ANDI has been promoting good gas management from the beginning in 1987 to meet high standards on breathing gas. The ANDI Gas Blender Course was designed to provide proper information and training to achieve this. Gas Blending is more then learning a formula to calculate for the blend.
To be able to check for these small amounts the usual test as done with test-tubes is far too inaccurate to determine these small amounts. A laboratory test is the only way to have an accurate report on this.
Sometimes the dive centres are forced by law to have an air check done quarterly. The DAN article shows that a quarterly test is no luxury and should be done in a proper way. ANDI has always promoted a quarterly laboratory gas test for more safety. The quality of the breathing gas is the responsibility of the dive centre that sells the gas. ANDI can help her facilities to have this test done in a proper and affordable way. Ask your RHQ for more information. ANDI recommends Trace Analytics for adequate gas analysis.

Sol Ahn, Mercer University College of Pharmacy
A systemic review article of 1,217 studies found that hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 5 accounts for about 1.4 million cases of HCV infection globally. [1]
A systemic review article of ten clinical studies reports that patients with HCV genotype 5 have relatively low rates of response to pegylated interferon-alfa and ribavirin, with about 60% achieving sustained virological response (SVR) after 48 weeks of therapy. [2]
|Ledipasvir-sofosbuvir in Patients With Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Genotype 5 Infection: An Open-label, Multicenter, Single-arm, Phase 2 Study [3]
|Prospective, open-label, phase 2 study; N= 41
|To investigate the efficacy and safety of combination therapy with the nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) inhibitor ledipasvir and the nonstructural protein 5B (NS5B) polymerase inhibitor sofosbuvir in patients with HCV genotype 5
|Study Groups
|Treatment naïve (n= 21); treatment experienced (n= 20)
|Eligible patients were at least 18 years old and had chronic infection with HCV genotype 5, with plasma HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) of at least 10,000 IU per milliliters. Study participants were given a fixed-dose combination tablet of 90 mg ledipasvir and 400 mg sofobuvir orally once a day for 12 weeks.
|March 7, 2014 to June 10, 2014
|Primary Outcome Measure
|The proportion of patients with a sustained viral response, defined as HCV RNA concentration less than 15 IU per milliliters at 12 weeks

|Study Author Conclusions
|The original regimen of ledipasvir-sofosbuvir is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for patients with HCV genotype 5 infection who are treatment naïve or treatment experienced.
In this study, a fixed-dose combination regimen with ledipasvir-sofosbuvir once a day for 12 weeks resulted in SVR in 95% of study participants with HCV genotype 5. The findings of this study also shows that patients who were treatment naïve or treatment experienced were equally likely to reach SVR. A possible limitation of the study includes the fact that all study participants were white and recruited in France, limiting the generalizability of the study result in other patient populations.

Inspiring Quote #1
" The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company… a church… a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our Attitudes."
Charles R. Swindoll
I first heard this quote in a meeting quite a few years ago and it has stuck with me ever since. In fact, I instill this mentality in all three of my kids, as well as keep it in practice everyday in my life. There are great results in the power of positive thinking!
Wise quote. Will have to keep this in mind daily.
Another quote that I love on positive thinking is - "Very often a change of self is needed more than a change of scene." - Arthur Christopher Benson
Great Quote. Swindoll was president for a while at DTS, a seminary I attended some many years ago now in Dallas. He wasn't there then, but became president in the 90's I believe.
I like that and it is so true.
A good attitude is the number one thing employers are looking for.
Another quote I like , along a similar vein is ..happiness is the space between stimulus and response.

Points and rankings are an aspect of BMX racing that generate a lot of confusion and sometimes controversy.
There are separate systems in place for the BMX National Series and the British Cycling rankings.
The best explanation of the British Cycling rankings is on their site, click here
Thanks to Jools at Accelerate Bike Schoolfor this important bit of race day prep; the checklist!
Thanks to admin wiz Jon Redstone for this next clarification;
Now here's the bit that normally confuses folk. The class you register to race in, may not be the class you end up actually racing in for that event. This is best explained by using an example;
If I register to race in 10yr old boys, and only two other riders register in that class (3 in total), then 5 riders register in 11yr old boys, the organisers of the race will elect to merge the 10 & 11yr old boys into a single class for the purposes of racing that event. This will generate a set of races between 8 riders.
If the race is part of a series, then the points each rider has gained from that round stay with the rider, but the riders are split back out to their registered classes to calculate the riders standing within the series. So in the example above, once the results are posted for the race series there won't be an entry consisting of 10 & 11yr old boys, the two classes will be shown individually, each having a winner, 2nd, 3rd etc.
The merging of classes at a race meeting is a judgement taken on the day by the race team based on rider numbers & experience.
How many rounds a rider competes in per race class is dependant on how many riders they have in the same racing class as them.
If there are 8 riders or less, it will be Grand Prix format racing, where instead of three motos to determine who advances to a final, there's a fourth moto and positions for each moto are accumulated.
9 or more riders means there'll be the normal three motos to determine who advances as follows;
9-16 riders, this goes straight to final after motos, so the 8 riders with the worst results get dropped.
17-32 riders, this will have three motos to determine who advances to the semi finals, with the best four riders from each semi advancing to the main or "A Final" and the four losers from each semi going into the consolation B Final (racing for 9th – 16th place on the day)
33-64 riders, this class adds in a quarter final level of knockout stage.
So how does racing work?
BMX racing is 8 riders per moto (heat) racing each other over 1 lap of the track. Riders have 3 motos and their finishing positions are converted to points, with those totalling the lowest (so placing highest in motos) advancing to knockout stages.
So a rider winning all their motos will have 3 points, a rider finishing 4th, 3rd and 5th will have 12 points.
Sometimes there won't be a full gate of 8 riders, this happens when the class doesn't have many entries on race day, for example 11 riders entering the 10 year old boys class. To keep things as fair as possible, motos will usually split into a gate of 6 and a gate of 5, rather than a full gate of 8 in one moto with only 3 riders in the other!
Many regions will have "Invitational" Finals, so C, D, E and so on for riders who don't make the Main and B Final. It's always worth checking how this works with your region and remember, don't set off for home until you've checked the results and seen if you've made a final!
Race day schedules are often similar; registration is open in the morning for entries or sign-on for those pre-registered. Then there's time for practice whilst the admin team sorts through the entries to make sure there aren't errors. This is when pre-sheets will be posted, to allow riders/parents to check they're entered in the correct class and on the correct plate number (mistakes not rectified can lead to a rider getting relegated to last in the moto so check the pre-sheets!)
There's usually a while to wait before moto sheets are posted and a scrum to fight through to get within sight of them. It's handy to take a picture of the relevant info with your phone. Before smart phones a pen and the back of a rider or parent's hand was ok. Modern technology eh?
Before racing starts there'll be an announcement for the first 10 motos to get in the pens, this is usually cruisers or novices. It's not easy organising the young riders, but don't send them to the pens too soon as it's very frustrating for older riders having to fight through a crowd of pocket rockets. This is when bikes get scratched and tempers frayed.
Each moto gets called up to the gate in turn, usually with an official on hand to make sure riders are in the correct gate. Then it's all quiet before the gate drops....
These guys have got it right, cheering their riders on and enjoying the excitement of BMX racing
Race Day can be intense and very stressful for all concerned. It's perfectly natural to feel nervous, it just shows you care but don't let it overshadow the day (see rule 1)Preparation is key. Many races offer online pre-registration via the British Cycling website. Pre-reg saves time, can save money and is one less thing to do on race day.
It's always good to check the bike over in advance, you don't want last minute mechanicals scuppering the day. Having a routine for the weekend can be a life-saver, even if it's just always packing the kit in the same way in the same bag. There's a handy checklist below.
Spares are a good idea, an inner tube can save the weekend, even if you get someone else to fit it. There are usually retailers on-site selling all manner of BMX bits but just in case they don't have what you want, being prepared is important.
The same goes for food, there are usually fast-food options but a burger isn't always best between motos. Taking something simple like a banana or packed lunch can make the day much easier.

|The Great Mosque in Kano. The mosque was built for Muhammad Rumfa in the 15th century. It was made of mud, and was of the soro, or tower, variety. It was moved to a new site by Muhammad Zaki in 1582, and rebuilt in the mid 19th century by Abdullahi dan Dabo. It was subsequently destroyed, but rebuilt in 1950, with British sponsorship and to a local Public Works Department design.
Another great instalment. It must have been nice to have a real bed and bath as well as a swim. How unfortunate to be robbed. Considering they have a hand cut off it caught.ReplyDelete
diane b I am not sure what the laws in Nigeria for theft, but I know the consequences in Singapore would have been drastic if caught. We did enjoy our stop overs in hotels, the main reason being to have a nice hot bath or shower. DianeDelete

Our commitments
Our parent company, Societe Generale, is committed to serving clients on a daily basis. Our employees also go beyond professional engagement by supporting and actively participating in Societe Generale's initiatives that contribute to civil society. Solidarity, contemporary art, classical music, rugby, disabled sport: through our varied, ongoing and sustainable initiatives, we express one of the Group's core values: commitment.
Rugby, encapsulating team spirit
For almost a century, Societe Generale has been committed to supporting rugby at all levels, from the grass roots to the most prestigious international competitions. Since 2007 we have been a Worldwide Partner of Rugby World Cup, a partnership that will continue through to Japan in 2019.
Whether amateur or professional, the sport embodies one of Societe Generale's core values in team spirit.
Our association with the sport encompasses the men's and women's games across all formats, including full Rugby Union, Sevens, and Touch.
Classical music: a 30-year partnership
Societe Generale's support for classical music dates back to 1987, with the creation of a dedicated charity. It has gradually established itself as a key player in the musical world, contributing to expanding the reach of classical music beyond its traditional audience.
Societe Generale partners with 23 orchestras and ensembles, giving more than 1,000 concerts and performances every year. Iconic venues also benefit from Societe Generale's support. These include the Philharmonie de Paris, the Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord among others in France, as well as the National Theatre of Prague in the Czech Republic. In the UK, Societe Generale is also a corporate member of the Royal Albert Hall and of the Glyndebourne Opera festival.
By helping leading music schools, lending instruments, and awarding scholarships students to help with their professional development, Societe Generale also supports the talents of today who are set to become the major artists of tomorrow.
In a year when it is celebrating 30 years' support of classical music, Societe Generale is also proud to be building on its long-term partnership with the Victoria and Albert Museum as lead sponsor of its major exhibition: 'Opera: Passion, Power and Politics', in collaboration with the Royal Opera House, opening on 30 September.
We have also pioneered the hugely successful 'Playing for...' concerts, which see Societe Generale staff perform alongside professional musicians from Les Siecles symphony orchestra. Following three performances in Paris since their launch in 2012, the series took its first steps outside of France in 2017 with the Playing for London concert spectacular at the Royal Festival Hall in London.
Supporting Contemporary Art for over 20 years
Within the UK a long-standing corporate partnership with the Victoria & Albert museum has seen the bank act as main sponsor for two flagship exhibitions in 'Botticelli Reimagined' and 'Opera: Passion, Power and Politics'. The bank is the first sponsor to have supported two of the gallery's flagship exhibitions in successive years. Societe Generale is also a corporate partner of the National Portrait Gallery in London.
The bank's head office in Paris is home to a diverse contemporary art collection (photography, paintings, sculptures, lithography, etc), which embodies the Group's support of artistic creation around the world. The development of the Collection went hand in hand with a desire to share contemporary art with the wider public, especially children. Guided tours, educational workshops, artistic projects and a growing visibility on social media all contribute to this commitment.

What is meant by diversity?
Diversity is the amount of apparent and non apparent differences there are between people. When we look at managing diversity, we refer to understanding all these differences and not showing prejudice, it also means valuing the benefits of someone being different from ourselves to create a positive environment where everyone feels valued. -------------------------------------------------
2. Describe the community you live in. Highlight some of the variations you may observe in terms of: * Interests
* Beliefs
* Ages
* Lifestyles
* Personal, social and cultural identities.
The community I live and work in has a hugely varied population, from young children to senior citizens in their nineties. The reason behind these variations is because I live in an area where most of the houses are semi detached three story town houses, about a third are council owned, and the rest bought by homeowners. The houses are mostly occupied by families or pensioners although some of the houses have been converted into flats with young couples or single inhabitants. The population come from different ethnic heritages and so have different beliefs, lifestyles, as well as social and cultural identities. I originally come from Newcastle in the north east of England and now live in Plymouth. I was born into a Christian family however I would consider myself atheist, as I do not believe in any God. I know some people in my community that were born outside of the UK, and follow many different religions, Christianity, Hinduism and Sikhism to name but a few. We all have different interests and lifestyles, most of the people that I know are married or in long term relationships, and there is a huge difference in their lifestyles when comparing them to the single people I know. The single people tend to have less responsibilities, no family or mortgage. We all enjoy going out, with our families, or with each other, some of us take part in sports such as football or karate and others prefer the gym instead. We all have our own interests to; we listen to different music, have different culinary tastes and definitely have differing fashion sense. I have neighbours that enjoy Saturday nights at the cinema when others like to go clubbing or just spend time with their families. We all have different lifestyles and identities mainly determined by our age, social class and cultural identity. Some people lead active lifestyles, others prefer to stay at home, some are deeply religious and some have no religion, but these variations are what make our community special. -------------------------------------------------
3. Explain how the variations in question 2 contribute to the diversity of the community.
The variations mentioned above in question two contribute widely to the diversity of a community, as there is a broad mix of individuals of different ages who have different beliefs, interests and religious backgrounds. These variations are accommodated by having their own defined places of worship, churches, mosques and synagogues. Although there are dedicated Catholic and Church of England schools the vast majority are multi-denominational and as part of...

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - East Baton Rouge Parish officials gladly accepted a $45 million check Wednesday morning from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality.
The money is from a federal program to help cities deal with the nationwide problem of crumbling sewer lines. East Baton Rouge is no different. The city-parish is under the largest sewer revamp in parish history and the check will help pay the way.
"Thanks in part to programs like this DEQ loan, I am proud to report that we are on pace to provide East Baton Rouge Parish with a new state-of-the-art sewer system that will meet or exceed all federal standards," said Mayor-President Kip Holden.
He added the check will repair leaking sewer collection lines and help with the construction of the Choctaw Sewer Collection Maintenance Facility.
The loan is for 20 years at less than 1 percent interest.

Love, as only a lion, two humans and another lion can demonstrate it.
This video supposedly documents the true story of Christian who, as a baby lion, was put up for sale at Harrods Department Store. A couple named John Rendall and Ace Berg pitied poor Christian when they saw him in his little cage and decided to bring him home. Eventually, Christian got too big for their flat. Rendall and Berg realized they had no choice but to reintroduce him to Africa so that he could live a proper lion life. But after a year, they missed Christian as only two bleeding heart British humans can miss a department store lion. And so they paid him a visit. This is what happened.

Hey Everyone!
This week was less of blur. However, Sister Tescher and I were still pretty tired and sick. There were definitely a lot of moments where going out and working was the LAST thing we wanted to do. But the interesting thing was that in those moments where we didn't want to go out, but did anyway, the Lord granted us the biggest miracles.
We had so many blessings this week. I'm sure every missionary says that EVERY week so allow me to join that bandwagon for a moment. I have to say I was kinda discouraged this week. Our investigators aren't texting us back, I was SO out of it (Sister Tescher has some pretty great stories), and our appointments with really awesome people kept falling through. I was totally running on empty. But I realized that sometimes it's ok to be running on empty because sincere prayers really come out of it as well as complete trust in the Lord.
We also have Facebook back but there are a lot more restrictions so it will be different. We are also getting a new mission president in three weeks which is crazy...and sad! We are all going to miss President Riggs so much!
Xoxo to everyone!

Think about this…
Google processes over 40,000 search queries every second. That translates to over 3.5 billion searches per day and 1.2 trillion searches per year worldwide.
People embrace online search as an essential part of daily life. It's even built into our smart speakers at home.
Agencies will have to adapt fast to receive this growing audience, or get left behind.
Online Search and Insurance
As an insurance agent, it is already a challenge to compete in an oversaturated marketplace. This is where search engine optimization (SEO) can help as a part of your marketing strategy.
SEO blog Moz.com defines SEO as the practice of increasing the quantity of relevant traffic to your website through organic search engine results.
For insurance agencies, there are three major benefits for implementing SEO as part of your marketing strategy.
1. You'll Attract Relevant Traffic to Your Website
A new insurance agency website can be well designed and easy to use. Yet, visitors won't be able to find it online if it isn't optimized for search engines. All that effort you put into the website design won't get seen.
The web traffic you get from SEO comes from searches by interested prospects. These prospects use relevant keywords to find your agency's website. This means they are more likely to be serious about buying insurance products.
2. You'll Get to Customers First
Here's another statistic to consider about SEO. According to Google, 76 percent of people who search for something nearby on their smartphone visit a related business within a day. And, 28 percent of those searches result in a purchase.
Will your insurance agency get to those consumers first? Remember, if you don't do the work, somebody else will. If your agency website isn't optimized to capture local and mobile traffic, another agency will quickly fill in the gap. Your agency could lose a potential client base.
3. You'll Build Your Brand
Effective SEO strategies focus on building customized content for your target users. This work will also build your agency's brand in the mind of your users.
This content is, in effect, presenting what and who you are to customers. It's the essence of what a brand is. Offline or online, it is important customers get an idea of your company's brand. With SEO, you are working toward building your brand in a digital space.
SEO gains importance as more devices become capable of performing online search. Meanwhile, there are also the challenges of an ever-changing insurance industry to be faced. It is more important than ever to build relationships with your clients online.

How to get rid of blackheads in the comfort of your own crib
Blackheads — the little bastards that never seem to go away, no matter how many pore strips I apply, no matter how obsessively I exfoliate my skin. It seems they've found a permanent home (my nose) and are refusing to vacate the premises. Well, sorry guys, but it's time to get the hell outta here and leave me and my noggin in peace.
I've been reading up on tried-and-true ways of minimising blackheads and even preventing them from returning for good, and it seems extractions are the way to go. But if you can't afford to see a facialist, try this at-home trick below to unclog the pores.
- A piece of clear plastic (we used Gladwrap)
- 2 small washcloths
- Tissue
- Moisturiser/balm (we used Vaseline)

Eddie Redmayne Reveals His Favorite 'Harry Potter' Book & Film!
Eddie Redmayne gets ready to attend the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics on Friday (August 5) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The 34-year-old English actor was joined by his wife Hannah Bagshawe and their one-month-old daughter Iris (not pictured).
In preparation for his upcoming movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Eddie recently opened up about his favorite Harry Potter movie and book.
"My favorite film is probably the finale – Deathly Hallows: Part 2," Eddie told Entertainment Weekly. "With the last two, they had something I kept rewatching, going back and watching Ralph Fiennes and Daniel Radcliffe do that extraordinary duel."
"When you're [casting spells on set], the effects of this huge tension of what's coming out of your wand is put [into the shot in post-production; you're] literally acting with nothing," he added. "And I found it so operatic and deeply moving. I found it so climatically satisfying."
As for his favorite J.K. Rowling novel, Eddie has a soft spot for "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone."
"I suppose I'd go with the first," he said. "My little brother, when he was six years old, he would always read it, and it had that instant immersion into the world that made you release your imagination."
