If there are a million (or more) moments in a month, or it's really just one, vast, living moment containing a month, I intend for at least one of these June quotes to reach you on meaningful level. What a lovely month it is, to stop waiting to start living, and to begin reaching into the soul of every (single) moment…
"Far up in the deep blue sky, Great white clouds are floating by; All the world is dressed in green; Many happy birds are seen, Roses bright and sunshine clear Show that lovely June is here." — F. G. Sanders
I've officially fallen in love with the above poem, both for its simplicity and ability to reach into my soul and give it a big breath of fresh air. That's what this constellation of June quotes is for—to instill a sense of deep peace and rich joy in all your waking moments this month.
I don't know about you (though I'm hoping you're on the same page), but I'm decidedly willing to embrace a new month, in whatever form it shows up (though I'm hoping it shows up a little more lovely than not).
There's so much life to be lived "in between" the past and the future. I do believe that the universe sends us exactly what we're ready for, whether we think we're ready or not, at the exact time we need it in our lives. What other way could it really, possibly be… honestly?I've found that a soft heart and an open mind seem to be the right mix for a miracle. Click To Tweet
We come to the point where we can truly love life not when it's perfect, but when we're okay with it being imperfect. There's always beauty to be seen for those willing to see it. There's something worthy of celebration, appreciation, reflection, optimism, forgiveness, acceptance… there's something for every occasion.
True wealth is the ability to experience and appreciate each moment in its entirety, for what it's worth. Life tends to be extremely paradoxical—even the word "imperfect" contains "I'm perfect." There's typically no such thing as beauty without pain, loss without abundance, gratitude without suffering, or disaster without healing.
Some of the most beautiful people are "seared with scars," as Kahlil Gibran, artist and poet, once acknowledged.
If today is the beginning of anything that you want, begin by becoming—generating, embodying, radiating—that which you want. Where alert awareness goes, energy flows (seriously) because mental energy is a powerful currency.
For all of us, I hope we find June to be a graceful period, whether it's a time of transition or a time of rest. I also hope we emerge each moment graced with our own dutiful presence so that we can experience the richness that life is offering us right now.
May we not miss a single moment of joy.
I selected the following 30 quotes for a myriad of reasons: we might fare well with a little inspiration from nature, or another perspective; it'd behoove us to recognize that our pain can bring beauty; or, it just makes for a rich and fulfilled life to honor the space we occupy.
I hope some of these June quotes give your soul a huge deep breath, and a solid bear hug. Find which one speaks to you on that deeper level, and let it soak in.

Hey all,
Just a quick up date. Most of the rivers are holding great trout like this FAT little four pounder, The picture doesn't really do this Jack justice and he put up one hell of a fight!!! DOC will be estatic about the increase in numbers of good trout taken around the lake, I sure as hell am!! I am taking fish from all the rivers and even lowered my standards by fishing the Tongariro.
This little fella has been turned into smoked trout dip and Smoked trout fettucine. The next Video I do will be to show you how to get the best out of the little Kilwell smokers you can buy dirt cheap. The quality of product is outstanding if you take some time in preparing the fish and have the smoker set up correctly.
Bring on the winter fishing season.
Regards Shane

So what makes Pelican Point "a stay with a difference"?
The climate for East Coast Tasmania is quite temperate, so there is plenty to do, all year round. The spectacular beach goers above are just some of the amazing wildlife you can encounter right here on the property. You really need to spend some time and wander around our many walking tracks, and discover for yourself just what is so different about staying with us.
As well as the wildlife, we offer our guests a wide variety of free activities. We have something for everyone!
Take one of our electric tricycles out for a spin. You can ride into St Helens and along Georges Bay, or just potter around the property.
Feeding Our Friendly Ducks.
We have our own friendly family of ducks who wander from dam to dam through out the day, They will often wander up behind the reception area of a morning or afternoon looking for a guest to feed them.
At the moment you can simply play a round of farmers golf. In future we have a small golf course planned.
Go fly fishing in our private lake for a Rainbow Trout, or have a try and catching one of the sea running brown trout in the Georges River, which borders the property. Fish from the banks of Granny's Gut and try your luck at catching a bream. We have free fishing rods available, or bring your own. There is even room for you to bring your boat if you wish. No boat! We can advise you on how to organise a fishing charter, to go out to the shelf for some deep sea fishing, or perhaps you would prefer to catch some Whiting in the Bay.
Take a walk on one of our designated walking tracks and view some of our spectacular bird life. Click on the photo and be taken our gallery to view the amazing range of 48 species of birds that make Pelican Point Sanctuary their home.
Select one of our games for the kids, from our wide range of games available.
You can even play table tennis.
Take the time to walk our many tracks, or just take a picnic basket and go down and sit quietly near the waterways and see if you can spot an Aussie icon – the unusual platypus. Not many people get to see these shy mammals in their natural surroundings, but they are right here in the waterways of the sanctuary.

It is my goal to support every family in having an optimal birth experience of their own design. I understand that there are many components to creating your ideal birth, and that bringing a new baby into the world can get expensive. Because of this, I am willing to work with you as my client to find a payment option that best works for you and your family. See below some of the different options I offer.
Sliding Scale
I offer a discounted rate to families who could not otherwise afford to have a doula. However, as I am an experienced doula and these services all require weeks of on-call time, I can only offer a small discount.
Payment Plan
I offer monthly payment plans for all of my services, with a deposit upfront. I'm willing to work with you to find a monthly payment that works with your life.
Family & Friends Contribution Website
I can assist you in setting up an online webpage with PayPal in which family and friends both local and far away can contribute to helping you to create a beautiful birth experience. This is a great thing to ask for as a Baby Shower gift! Put a doula on your registry, and ask friends and family to contribute what they can. This service is free for doula clients.
Gift Certificates & Baby Shower Gifts
Doula services, and prenatal and postnatal yoga make great shower gifts. Postpartum support can be purchased by the hour or as a package.
It is possible to apply for insurance reimbursement for doula services from many insurance companies, although reimbursement is not guaranteed. Click here for more information.
Combining Services
Doula and yoga clients always receive a discount on other birth and wellness services. If you are not a client but would like to purchase multiple services (such as childbirth education classes, private prenatal or postnatal yoga sessions), talk to me about a bulk discount.
Barter or Trade
If you really can't afford any of these options, I am open to trade or barter for some services. Please feel free to inquire if you have a good or service you are interested in offering in trade for birth and wellness services.

HTC Predicts Continued Decline in Sales
Continued Decline in Sales Predicted Due to Stiff Competition in the Smartphone Market.
TAIPEI— HTC Corp. forecast Thursday continued falling sales in the third quarter, as the Taiwanese high-end smartphone maker faces a challenge from the coming launch of Apple Inc.'s next-generation iPhone.
It will be HTC's 12th consecutive quarter of declining revenue on an annual basis. The company's Chief Financial Officer Chialin Changsaid the flagship HTC One (M8) smartphone and other products launched in the first half of the year helped boost second quarter earnings, but sales will slow in the third quarter and the firm will need to trim sales and marketing expenses.
The firm will remain profitable in the third quarter, with earnings-per-share of 0.05 New Taiwan dollars to 0.69 New Taiwan dollars, compared to last year's loss, Mr. Chang said.
"Some of our products, after the initial excitement, have settled at a lower level," said Mr. Chang on an investor call. "But the good thing is it is stabilized."
Mr. Chang added he expects HTC to break its three-year slide in revenue in the fourth quarter, with the help of momentum from the flagship line and the introduction of new products.
HTC faces the challenge of maintaining its ground in upcoming months against the launches of the iPhone and new devices from other rivals like Samsung Electronics Co. Apple is gearing up for the first major refresh of the iPhone in two years, which means the iPhone will be a more formidable foe this year for HTC and others than it was last year.
HTC said Thursday it expects revenue in the third quarter of 42 billion New Taiwan dollars to 47 billion New Taiwan dollars (US$1.4 billion-US$1.57 billion), at best matching the year-earlier quarter. The company forecast earnings per share of 0.05 New Taiwan dollars to 0.69 New Taiwan dollars for the quarter, down from 2.74 New Taiwan dollars in the second quarter.
Mr. Chang said the company would save costs by cutting some long-term marketing expenses and switching to "more tactical" marketing. He said there wouldn't be cuts to "human capital." He also ruled out selling products at a loss.
HTC posted its first full-year net loss last year, as it lost sales to Samsung and Chinese smartphone makers. The company has attributed its market share loss partly to marketing missteps.
In the second quarter, HTC posted net profit of 2.3 billion New Taiwan dollars, up 84% from the same quarter in 2013 and better than a net loss of 1.88 billion New Taiwan dollars in the previous quarter. However, the company's revenue slipped to 65.1 billion New Taiwan dollars in the second quarter from 70.7 billion New Taiwan dollars a year earlier.
The global leader in Android smartphone shipments three years ago, HTC has seen a steep fall in market share as the competitive field thickened with rivals in South Korea and China. Yuanta Financial analyst Jeff Pu estimates the company's global market share is now around 2%.
The company has also faced heavy executive turnover, most recently, with the marketing and engineering chiefs stepping down from those positions. Analysts say the company still needs to prove it can stay profitable on a smaller scale with the sales decline.
"Over long term, HTC may be able to position itself as a niche, high-end player," Mr. Pu said, citing the company's strong engineering but lack of scale. Mr. Pu and other analysts note that succeeding as a profitable niche player in the cutthroat smartphone market will be no easy feat. "Actually no one has this kind of position right now."
Mr. Chang said the company didn't want to only sell in the high-end, although he didn't give details on how the company could regain market share.
"For HTC, to start gaining market share is important," he said. "We have gone through a transition period in 2013."
HTC returned to an operating profit in the second quarter after three consecutive quarters of operating losses, with the help of the launch of its new flagship HTC One (M8) smartphone and cost cuts.

I usually have a main hobby each year, one which occupies most of my time over and above the others. And following my somewhat unplanned attendance at this year's London Super Comic Convention - I was inspired to revisit the world of Comics and Graphic Novels. Something which has always been in my life, but mostly on the periphery. This year all that changed, and I got back into Graphic Novels in a big way.
Much like with my reading, I like tackling larger works, and get frustrated by too-short novels and simple 30-ish page comics, so my preference has always been for the collected volumes or TPs (Trade Paperbacks). The following lists all consist of trade paperbacks, which format I buy almost exclusively with the exception of Lady Mechanika, Monstress and Tales of Honor.
Historically I used to buy mostly Vertigo, but now the Image Comics imprint totally dominates. This year I also caught up with the back catalogues of Aspen, Big Dog Ink, Humanoids, Top Cow, Valiant and Zenescope. Of my 90+ Humanoids books, I particularly like the works of Jodorowsky - whose entire back catalogue - including films I consumed this year.
As I said in an earlier post, the golden age of comics is upon us again, as never before has the quality and variety been greater. For me there is a certain magic where narrative, characterisation, dialogue, illustration, layout, colouring and lettering meet. I cannot buy a graphic novel with poor art though, and the only Humanoids and Image titles I avoid are the overly simplistic black and white line-art ones. I am currently following 80+ Image series, and well over a 100 series in total. The following lists feature my personal favourites of this year, the ones which I enjoyed and which inspired me the most! Most feature great art, some have amazing, imaginative narrative, and many combine both.
Note that these featured books are mostly intended for mature readers (16+), and contain adult themes. There is a smattering of child-friendly titles here too like Lumberjanes and Princess Ugg. I really like all these 100+ titles mentioned, and have found it difficult to assign on a scale of descending preference, hence titles have been listed alphabetically.
Descending order:
Honourable mentions go to Boom! Studios, Black Mask Studios, Dynamite Entertainment and Oni Press too.

Pop diva Madonna says there is no bad blood between her and fellow singer Lady Gaga.
Madonna, 56, took to Instagram to set the record straight after her manager Guy Oseary shot down rumours that the diva dissed Gaga and called her "a copycat" on a leaked song called "Two Steps Behind".
"There are those who want to shut me up but they cannot! We still live in a world that discriminates against women. (They) are people that are so hateful," Madonna wrote.
She went on accusing media of trying to create feuds that don't exist.
"They want to create feuds between strong women that do not exist! I do not wish ill will towards any other female artist and I never have!" she continued.
"The world is big enough for all of us! I will fight for my rights as an artist, a human and a woman till the end of my days! Because I am a #rebelheart."

Do you know what happens when you manually delete your WhatsApp data? Well, it disappears from your screen and seems like it's gone from your phone. Is it really gone, though? The answer is no. Data that you delete from WhatsApp manually can often be recovered with recovery tools. The data isn't really gone, just removed from your sight, and actually it is still hanging out on your phone until you overwrite it.

Dental disease is a common condition in dogs and cats. Experts estimate that 85 percent of cats 3-years and older and percent of dogs 2-years and older have some form of dental disease. The earlier dental disease is prevented and treated, the better. The older your pet gets, the more susceptible he becomes to dental disease.
Signs Of Dental Disease
Foul breath. Bad breath can indicate dental disease. If your pet's breath is noticeably bad, (aside from the regular dog/cat breath smell) you should get him checked.
Inflamed, red gums. Healthy gums are pink. Red, inflamed gums are a sign of gingivitis, which can lead to worsening dental issues.
Brown or yellow teeth. Plaque is a film that affects all dogs and cats. When plaque hardens it turns a different and becomes tartar. In a cat, tartar displays as yellow. In dogs it can turn brown or black.
Missing or loose teeth. Lost and loose teeth are definite indicators of dental disease. If an adult tooth hasn't fallen because of trauma, your pet needs to see his doctor.
These signs and any combination of them should be addressed immediately. To help keep your pet healthy and happy, he should be in good dental health.
Preventing Dental Disease
Dogs and cats have different dental care needs. The earlier you introduce them to regular dental care, the easier it will be to continue to care for their teeth at home.
To prevent dental disease in dogs, you should brush his teeth regularly with toothpaste made specifically for dogs. Since dogs enjoy chewing, offer him a chew toy designed to improve dental health. There are several on the market, so if he doesn't like one, try another until you find the one he likes. Also, visit your veterinarian for regular dental cleanings. Your vet can help prevent periodontitis which will help keep your dog healthy.
Cats need their teeth brushed too, and although it might be more challenging, it is necessary. Use a toothbrush designed for cats' teeth and a pet toothpaste for regular brushing. Cats are not chewers like dogs, but dental treats formulated for cats are also available from your local pet store. Cats can be picky and finding the right treat might take some time.
Untreated dental disease can lead to tooth loss. Pets with periodontitis may require tooth extraction, and in severe cases, all the teeth may need to be removed. This is why dental care for your pets is important. Untreated dental disease can also lead to other health problems in pets because plaque and bacteria in the mouth is swallowed and is absorbed into the bloodstream resulting in arterial plaque and calcifications.
Your pet's dental health is important to us at Festival Animal Clinic. We provide specialized dental care for your pet's dental needs. If you are concerned about your pet's dental health, and you are in the Centennial, Colorado area, don't hesitate to call us today!

About the Fc Fusion Technology Platform
ELOCTATE and ALPROLIX were developed using Fc fusion technology, which takes advantage of a naturally occurring pathway that delays the breakdown of IgG1 (protein commonly found in the body) by recycling it back into the bloodstream. This technology is thought to be responsible for the prolonged time that ALPROLIX and ELOCTATE circulate in the body. While Fc fusion is an established technology that has been used for more than 15 years, Biogen Idec is the only company to apply it in haemophilia.
About Haemophilia
Haemophilia is a rare, inherited disorder in which the ability of a person's blood to clot is impaired. There are different types of haemophilia depending on which clotting protein, or factor, is missing or reduced, including haemophilia A (factor VIII deficiency) and haemophilia B (factor IX deficiency). Haemophilia A occurs in about one in 5,000 male births annually. Haemophilia B is less common, accounting for about one in 25,000 male births annually. Both forms of haemophilia occur more rarely in females.
People with haemophilia can experience bleeding episodes that can cause pain, irreversible joint damage and life-threatening haemorrhages. Prophylactic infusions of factor VIII or IX can restore the coagulation process, as well as reduce or prevent new bleeding episodes. The Medical and Scientific Advisory Council of the National Haemophilia Foundation recommends prophylaxis as the optimal therapy for people with severe haemophilia.
About the Biogen Idec and Sobi Collaboration
Biogen Idec and Swedish Orphan Biovitrum (Sobi) are partners in the development and commercialization of ELOCTATE for haemophilia A and ALPROLIX for haemophilia B. Biogen Idec leads development, has manufacturing rights, and has commercialization rights in North America and all other regions excluding the Sobi territory.

|I'm usually good at this game, but this one has me stumped.
The basics: zone 7, part sun and shade. This is growing in the "birdfeeder garden." It was a volunteer that took off.
Specifics: It grows like mint -- aggressive/borderline invasive, with similar root structure. Leaves are opposite and in pairs, like Noah's animals. Square stem. It is very hardy, tolerating foot traffic. Sure looks and grows like a mint, but here's the catch: it has no fragrance, including when brushed or crushed (as in rolled up in one's hands). No flower or bloom as of yet. I'm baffled.
As for the images, I included my garden sneaker some of the pics for scale (size 10 - men, if you were wondering).
So far, I, and a friend and long-time gardener and member here on Long Island, and buddy who happens to be a NY Master Gardener have yet to come up with the answer.
(this one shown growing with sweet woodruff and edging lobelia)
Jun 7, 2016 7:43 PM CST
|Three plants I can think of that are not mints and do not smell but do have square stems: Loosestrife, Verbena, Stinging Nettle.
That's all I've got.

|And that's where I went, yet no pics of the aforementioned fit. I may have to wait until bloom time.
Jun 7, 2016 8:20 PM CST
|The look of it, and leaf venation, suggests Prunella vulgaris .. Selfheal. It's quite pretty! I have it growing here and there, some I have to dig up, it's native but I didn't have to buy the seed as it's growing in my garden naturally. I hate to dig any up but I always have some.
Jun 8, 2016 11:47 AM CST
|Thanks, @JRsbugs. I'm pretty certain you've nailed it. Prunella vulgaris fits the description of what I've got growing. It does require some vigilance, but seems to be manageable for now. I'm marking this as solved, and will keep an eye out for the blooms.
Jun 8, 2016 12:30 PM CST
|I agree, Self-heal (Prunella vulgaris)
~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~
Jun 8, 2016 2:21 PM CST
Bees do like it, I had to search around to make sure I still had some which I know I have, but it always seems to be the healthiest, most robust plants I have to remove. If growing in an ideal situation the plants can be impressive, I'm always in two minds as to whether I should replant them and sometimes I do if I can find a gap to put them in. They started out growing amongst grass 'lawn' where they got cut back, at first I didn't appreciate them like I do now.
Jun 8, 2016 8:16 PM CST
|Janet, I'm currently allowing them to grow to fill out some spots, and with your comments am willing to let some be. Thanks again.

There is a difference between healthy stress and burnout: stress is usually good for us as it motivates us to do things, run from danger and have things done on time for deadlines. Burnout, on the other hand, usually happens when we become disillusioned or extremely frustrated because of circumstances we cannot control: it may happen if stress is out of control and when we are overwhelming our basic systems: our bodies, brains and souls as well as our supporting systems: our relationship with family, friends and the community…
I have been close to burnout many times: it is said that…

Eleven girls were suspended from Kenmore East High School in Buffalo, NY, for using the word "Nigger" in pre-game chants. On December 2, 2011, 15 year-old Tyra Batts (picture above), a player on the Girls Basketball team at Kenmore East High School heard the chant for the first time and took offense to it. This is what Batts said occurred when she spoke to her teammates about it: "I would argue about it … and they would tell me they're not racist, it's just a word, it's not a label". Batts, was suspended five days from school for fighting with one of her teammates. The chant used by the players"One, two, three, nigger" had been going on for more than five years according to Batts. The students who participated in the chant were also forced to take a cultural sensitivity training class and will serve a one game suspension.
Obviously, fighting wasn't the right thing for Tyra Batts to do, but then again we have all fallen victim at one point or another to an emotional reaction, this is even more common for a teenager. The word "Nigger" seems to have different meanings today based on the spelling. When spelled N-I-G-G-E-R, the word represents hate towards Blacks and African-Americans, and this goes back to the days of slavery. When I was growing up the definition of the word "Nigger" which once meant a lazy, stupid, and worthless person, was used as an ethnic slur toward Blacks and African-Americans, but that has now changed. According to Merriam Webster, a well renowned dictionary, the word "nigger" is now defined as: 1. usually offensive; a black person, 2. usually offensive; a member of any dark-skinned race, 3: a member of a socially disadvantaged class of persons. The change in the definition came as a surprise to me. If it wasn't for the sake of this post I would have never knew about the change in meaning. I recall the days when this word was taboo and usually resulted in an altercation between those individuals who were calling or either called the word "nigger". The meaning of the word in today's urban society is different, and the use of the word is much more common amongst Blacks and some Hispanics. The spelling in the urban community is usually n-i-g-g-a. The use of the word in the hip hop community has deteriorated the offensive tone to a degree, and the use of the word now represents another individual. There is still some uneasiness when someone who is not Black, African-American, or Hispanic uses the word.
Rapper Kreayshawn who is white, known for her hit song "Gucci Gucci"received a lot of backlash for using the word "nigga", in a tweet via Twitter. In her defense Kreayshawn said in an interview "In Oakland, Asian people will call Mexicans that. A Mexican will call a black dude that. A white person will call an Asian that. Everyone calls each other that. I feel like that word is used in the low-income community more than anything. I can see if I was some rich crazy trick and I was just saying this because it's hip-hop," Kreayshawn said, "I was raised around this. Me and my sisters were all raised around this. People call me that. But personally I'm not flaunting it around.'' Personally, I don't have anything against Kreayshawn for using the word "nigga", and I actually like her son Gucci Gucci. I somewhat understand her position, but there were obviously many others who are strongly against her use of the word, rapper The Game, had some strong words for Kreayshawn in his song. "Lil white bitch better stay in ya place You call me a nigga, I'ma put the K in ya face It's a stick up bitch" said by The Game in the song "Uncle Otis".

Sept. 15, 2014
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett was named the Big Ten Conference's offensive player of the week and its freshman of the week after throwing for 312 yards and a school-record tying six touchdowns in Ohio State's 66-0 win over Kent State Saturday at Ohio Stadium.
Barrett, from Wichita Falls, Texas, threw for 297 yards and five touchdowns in the first half while directing the Buckeyes to a 45-0 lead. He played just one series in the second half and finished his day 23-of-30 passing for 312 yards with six touchdowns and one interception, a pass that was bobbled by a receiver at the goal.
Barrett ties Kenny Guiton's one-year-old school record (2013 vs. Florida A&M) for touchdown passes. He became the first Ohio State quarterback to officially throw for more than 300 yards in a game since Troy Smith passed for 316 yards in a 2006 win over Michigan, a span of 95 games.
Barrett is currently second in the Big Ten Conference and 16th nationally in passing efficiency with a rating of 172.0. He is averaging 252.3 passing yards per game, 294.3 yards of total offense per game and he is tied for the Big Ten lead with nine touchdown passes.
The Big Ten honors this week represent Barrett's second freshman of the week accolade and his first offensive player of the week honor.

Union claims victory as government agrees to apply work permits "consistently"
Nautilus International has welcomed UK government moves to crack down on the employment of foreign seafarers around the country's coastline.
The union has been campaigning over the poor pay and conditions for many non-EEA seafarers working in UK waters and the resulting unfair and damaging competition this presents to the training and employment of British seafarers.
It has urged the government to ensure that work permit requirements are applied for all foreign seafarers working on ships trading between UK ports, irrespective of the vessel's flag.
General secretary Mark Dickinson said: "This is a very welcome response and it is a victory for common sense. In recent years we have seen an increase in the number of foreign seafarers working within UK waters on pay rates well below the National Minimum Wage and on inferior conditions.
"Shipping is a highly globalised industry with a very international workforce, but these trends have raised fundamental legal and ethical questions about the employment and pay practices on vessels working around the UK coast. Ending the confusion over the application of the rules should provide some much-needed safeguards against unfair competition and exploitation in British waters and should therefore be some comfort to members working in the lifeline ferry services, such as those operated by Caledonian MacBrayne and Serco Ferries."
Enforcing the Tier 2 requirements of the Points-Based System for work permit authorisation — ensuring that the jobs would either have to be on the UK occupational shortage list or that the employer/shipowner satisfies the labour market test by advertising the jobs at the local rate of pay for such jobs, before employing non-EEA nationals — should help to maintain seafaring standards in UK waters, Nautilus argues, and will prevent pay and conditions in the sector from being undermined.
Following protests by the union over a recent case in which a company employing non-EEA seafarers sought to bid for the contract to run ferry services between the Scottish mainland and the northern isles, Nautilus has now secured assurances from the Home Office that the work permit rules are being 'consistently and robustly applied'.
The Home Office said it has determined that the work permit requirements can be applied to ships flying the flags of other EU member states and operating on island cabotage routes. Revised operational instructions clarifying the situation are likely to be issued later this year, Nautilus was told.

Here are two soy milks that I've been buying a lot lately. Both are vegan and totally free of sugar, weird ingredients and additives!
The first one is this Woongjin brand of "Incredibly Pure Soybeans" soy milk that I buy at Emart. I actually remember trying this soy milk several years ago and thinking it was disgusting because it's quite thick and there was absolutely no sweetness to it at all, but I recently tried it again and my taste buds must've changed because now I think it's quite good! It's basically just soy beans blended up reaaal well. It's only very sliiightly grainy at the bottom, but it's barely noticeable, and it mixes really well in coffee or tea. I actually like the blandness and ofcourse I can always add my own sugar or agave syrup if I want.
One thing to note is that there are two versions of the plain soy milk- either in bottles or and tetra paks. Only the bottled version has no sugar, while the soy milk in the tetra paks (pictured above) has a little sugar. Probably for longer preservation? Woongjin also has a vegan black bean milk, which I wanna try soon too~
Another new favorite soy milk is this new sugar-free organic soy milk from Yonsei. It's different from their regular organic soy milk in the blue cartons that you can find at Loving Huts and department stores. I haven't seen this one at any stores (yet), but I got two crates from GMarket. Each crate has 16 cartons and all together the total was 17,400won, which comes out to about 545 won per 200ml carton!
There are only two ingredients: soy beans and salt. Amazing. I reckon this is perfect for health-conscious types, and diabetics too! I've been using this organic sugar-free soy milk in all my baking lately and it's pretty great. Since it is sugar-free it does make the goodies a little less sweet, and the thickness of the soy milk slightly changes the texture of things like cookies, but it's not a big problem at all.
Nutritional stats per 200ml carton: 75cal, 4g carbs, 7g protein, 3.5g fat.

From the Journal of Adrik
No sooner had that giant dracolich disappeared into the ground….actually, they can do that? Is that a thing they can do? I wasn't aware, though I cannot say I have ever seen a dracolich before, so anything is possible, really. Anyways, we were tired, beaten up, I had used my god given ability to heal and there were skeletons swarming us from a tower. If I never see another skeleton in my life after this, I will die a happy dwarf. That being said, they weren't very tough, little more than a few magical bindings holding them together. Gesh and I battered some while Thango and Miz'ri destroyed the archers. Still, they kept coming! Kildrak ran interference, grabbing their attention while the rest of us ran for it…sorry, performed strategic repositioning by tactical retreating.
We finally got away and found a giant black pyramid in the distance. Thango was keen to explore, as if we weren't tired enough. Luckily, we managed to convince him to rest and heal. That being done, he and Miz'ri went exploring. They found that the pyramid was quite large, and then they scouted out one of the towers near the dragon that had skeletons in it. Now we have to decide where to go…and I fear it's going to be into more danger.

The dough is pleasantly easy to work with for children and parents alike: it won't stick or tear when you roll it out. Dress the finished cookies up with a quick cookie glaze, colored sugars or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt in a large bowl. Beat butter, oil and sugar in another large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add egg, molasses and vinegar; beat until combined. Add the dry ingredients and stir to combine. The dough will be very soft. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat several baking sheets with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
Working with one portion of dough at a time, on a floured surface, roll the dough 1/4 inch thick. Cut cookies using cookie cutters. Gather scraps and reroll. Using a spatula, place the cookies 1/2 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Bake the cookies, one batch at a time, until puffed but still soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Newt Gingrich Said This GOP Candidate Could Be The Donald's Biggest Threat!
Following Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump's strong first-place finish in Tuesday's New Hampshire primary, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R) has one name in mind as the billionaire's most formidable opponent for the GOP nomination.
"Ted Cruz is in excellent position to be Trump's major competitor," Gingrich, who ran for president in 2012,wrote Wednesday on Facebook.
Gingrich added that Republican presidential candidate John Kasich's "strategy of staying positive" was successful in the Granite State and that fellow GOP hopeful Marco Rubio "suffered" from attacks by Republican rival Chris Christie, who dropped out of the race Wednesday.

All this we can do. All this we will do.
My whirlwind trip to our nation's Capitol was marked with both highs and lows, bouts of energy and foot-numbing fatigue, overwhelming emotion and petty annoyance, but, Interested Parties, it was worth it.
The preparation for the long car rides combined with the anxiety of undertaking such a big adventure had clouded my vision for the first half of our journey. Miranda and I had long conversations about boys, we mainlined coffee and energy drinks, we stood in lines in freezing weather until our legs shook with the effort, and it distracted me from the reason we had driven almost 800 miles in the first place.
When our new Vice President finished the words to his oath, a woman standing near me cried out "No more Dick Cheney!" and my heart gave a little lurch. My life is not generally wrapped up in politics. I don't spend very much time contemplating how the actions of our nation's top leaders are affecting me, personally. Until the old administration was finally, officially no longer in power, I hadn't fully realized how anxious I had been feeling. My shoulders felt 10 pounds lighter and tears involuntarily sprang to my eyes because I don't have to be afraid of my government anymore.
It sounds rather drastic to proclaim it that way, but it's surprising how even the littlest emotions given time to fester and plant roots can so affect your life.
The Boy doesn't understand why I, and the millions of others who traveled to D.C. just to be there have such starry-eyed love and hope and respect for President Obama, and I've struggled in the past to rationalize what is, quite frankly, an irrational gut feeling. I think that anyone who listened to his speech would understand. The last 7 years have been ones filled with doubt, with fear, with uncertainty. We've been thrust into war, told that we are to fear The Other, had our freedoms taken away, been subject to cruel scrutiny, and been generally told that We Are Not Good Enough and everybody else hates us. President Obama gave us our dignity back. We are strong. We are resilient. We are still hard workers and we are still worthwhile. We are not a nation of quitters. We do not have to apologize for being who we are.
We don't have to feel sorry for ourselves anymore.
Our new President got to where he is not necessarily because we believe in him, but largely because he gave us the power to believe in ourselves again. Together, we shall overcome the shadow that was cast over the United States by the Bush administration. By helping each other, by working hard, and by never giving up, we will get through this.
That, my friends, is why I cried as I stood at the base of the Washington Monument, and why I, and millions of others, set out on ridiculous journeys these last couple days. So we could be there with him, to take part in the day where fear was replaced with hope, and we were told to carry on.

Are You Ready for Vol. 2 of Rinella's 'The Complete Guide to Hunting, Butchering, and Cooking Wild Game'?
Volume 2 in 'The Complete Guide to Hunting, Butchering, and Cooking Wild Game' will hit the shelves Dec. 1. Get ready for an extensive guide on 'Small Game and Waterfowl.'
Volume 1 in Rinella's saga "The Complete Guide to Hunting, Butchering, and Cooking Wild Game" covered everything the self-sustaining outdoorsman needs to know about big game. Now Volume 2 will cover everything you need to know about small game and waterfowl.
In true Rinella fashion, the language of the guide is easy-going and approachable. He begins his encyclopedia stressing that although it is getting harder and harder for big game hunters, it is getting easier and easier to hunt for small game and waterfowl. Rinella then, humbly, talks of his 30 years in the field and love of hunting to prove his obvious credibility. He then launches into the most comprehensive guide to small game and waterfowl hunting one can buy.
Like the first volume, Rinella breaks the guide down into five digestible sections: Gear, The Basics, Species, Butchering, and Recipes. Rinella has compiled "opinions and strategies…gleaned from dozens and dozens of hunters" throughout his lifetime in addition to his own extensive knowledge and expertise.
Personal anecdotes, awesome photography, easy infographics, and guest hunter's weigh-ins make this guide book a most extensive, yet humbly manageable, journey.
If you are a novice hunter or have been hunting for life, Rinella's series is worthwhile and something every outdoorsman should have on their shelves.
It will be in stores Dec. 1 and available for pre-sale on Amazon for a mere $15.31. Small price to pay for an extensive guide on everything to do with hunting and eating small game and waterfowl. Not to mention Rinella's thoughtful writing style.
Get yours today and in the words of Steven Rinella himself:
So go, get out there. The woods are waiting. There are no excuses.

The Brokeback Mountain star is working with bosses at America's A&E network on an anthology series which will focus on one U.S. cult persona each season, with the first installment putting a spotlight on Jim Jones.
The season will detail Jones' journey to becoming a dangerous leader of the Peoples Temple cult from the 1950s to the 1970s, and how he spearheaded the 1978 mass murder-suicide of 918 of the cult's members in Jonestown, Guyana.
"Jim Jones is a fascinating character - one who has found his way into the collective unconscious," Gyllenhaal said in a statement. "We want to focus on the undeniable magnetism of zealots and the danger of that kind of charisma. A notion not only pertinent to cult leaders but to the geo-political climate of today."
Gyllenhaal will executive produce the project with Beasts of No Nation producer Riva Marker.

Several staff members used to have a significant worry and fret on how you can succeed in the organization. Although the definition/understanding of the success is confusing, the problem continues to be.
A lot more often the employees find that interaction to be the major active ingredient for success in market. Some could really feel knowledge or work judgments. While some may concentrate on people administration skin. Certainly some will certainly specialize in snooping and sycophancy. That will be the most effective in the above lot?
The 2 significant aspects of success determined by the workers in many corporate are constant promo and or large money. Numerous such so called effective workers who gained a lot of promos and huge compensation discovered fantastic trouble in getting a task when they have to leave the company because of some reason or other. When they were so effective why they have leave the organization and why did they locate trouble in getting another job?
Will communication make certain excellence? We should know about the meaning of the word communication prior to we attempt to address the concern. Much more often, interaction is thought to be the style with which address the mass and obtain their claps. The various other dimension of interaction is creation of a famous picture of the conversationalist in audience. Always the audience strives to be like the communicator in his/her communication. The third measurement is the capability of the communicator to elicit a positive feedback in the listener and the response become an activity at the later stage.
In market, the first and 2nd style communications market well. Regrettably, the 3rd sort of communication will certainly not have any type of takers. If a worker believe communication would certainly deliver excellence, they must follow just the very first two styles and not the third type. Convey or puzzle.
Individuals who feel expertise and actually work judgments to be the cornerstone of success in market should realize that a woodworker enhancing his actually work skill will certainly make the woodworker to be a much better woodworker in his actually work and does not make sure great circulation of actually work. Only those that adore great art might need such woodworkers. Investors doesn't require finest of carpenters.
If individuals management skill be the trick for excellence, one has to take a vacation for a short while and have training from Shepherd or cowherd nearby.
The best ways to trump, chase after and keep the cows or sheep together is what individuals management style in numerous corporate.
Sycophancy and scouting do obtain some appreciation at lots of occasions. To come to be a sycophant is not so simple. One should have the absolute conviction that only others could guarantee my excellence and not me.
Individuals that adhere to the approach of '& lsquo; my job well done'and & lsquo; I have no idea whether the task well done' will certainly make big excellence to them in a lot of organizations. Business owners generally believe such individuals to be the very best possession. A brilliant entrepreneur needs to keep these individuals in red tag area as they can be a lot more dangerous.
Coming to the factor of ways to succeed in an organization lies to just how well one create and utilize a chance. If one prosper well in developing and making use of the society of sycophancy in an organization ends up being effective. It is not the skill or skill assures excellence, how well one creates a need for such ability or capability in continuum is exactly what delivers excellence. That is why most supervisors follow the course of method of the profession not the sell many corporate.

This is something I get asked a lot. Most therapists use one hour sessions (or often 50 or 55 minutes) and there are some who do 90 minute sessions. I like to work with an initial four hour booking because it allows time to find out exactly what is going on rather than just using a one size fits all approach.
There are occasions when shorter sessions are appropriate e.g. a follow up session, working with children or using hypnosis for specific aims like deep relaxation or to build momentum gradually over time (for a marathon runner for instance), but these instances are the unusual rather than the norm.
For most issue resolution there will be more than one thing going on so it's really important to find out where you are before you think about moving ahead.
Commercially it may be disadvantageous for me to use four hour sessions – I am asking a bigger commitment of my clients (and for that first session many people have a high level of uncertainty – is this going to work, what is it going to be like? etc) so four hours can seem like a big ask. And of course a four hour session will have a higher fee, so again for a potential client it's a bigger commitment to make. There are big advantages though; the unconscious mind works fast which means that when you change your mind at an unconscious level you do so very quickly, instantaneously. Lasting change happens when you change your mind at both levels, conscious and unconscious thinking working in agreement. Changing your mind in a conscious way is what you do when you make, for instance, a New Year's Resolution. If you find yourself sticking to that resolution easily then you will have changed your mind unconsciously as well. If you are having trouble sticking to that resolution then as much as you want to do it (your conscious thinking) there will be some unconscious thinking going on that is stopping you from sticking to your resolution. So if you need to make a change to your unconscious thinking it makes sense to do it in one go so that you can allow your unconscious mind to change in the way it likes to change;- quickly. A four hour session provides enough time to do this and that's why I prefer to work that way.
In the context of what is considered the norm, four hours can look like a long time, but start to think about the change you want to make (and specifically how long you have wanted to make it) and now four hours is looking like a short amount of time (indeed it might even seem miraculous)!One session is often enough to resolve a single issue. Sometimes two are needed or where appropriate I will discuss with the client perhaps having a follow up session of two hours. Either way making a significant change in anything from 4 to 8 hours can be considered fast by any standard.
When we are dealing with big life changes it's important to bring some focus and commitment along to a session. And here we see another benefit of the four hour session. It demands commitment and allows focus. Four hours is enough time to make a change. When someone comes to see me, I want them to go away feeling like something worthwhile has occurred.
So I use four hour sessions because they work and because good outcomes are important to me.

Korea was freed from 35 years of Japanese rule by the defeat of Japan in World War II. Following the end of the war in 1945, the Soviet Union occupied the peninsula north of latitude 38° N (the 38th parallel). The United States occupied the area south of that line. Representatives from the Soviet and U.S. military commands met to plan the reunification of Korea, but the talks were unsuccessful. Meanwhile, the Soviets set up…

U.S. Attorney Outlines Charges John Walker Faces
Aired January 24, 2002 - 09:18 ET
PAULA ZAHN, CNN ANCHOR: We have some breaking news to share for you. CNN has gotten information that a U.S. soldier has sustained a minor wound outside of Kandahar, about 60 miles outside of Kandahar. He is a member of our special forces. He apparently hit a pocket of Al Qaeda resistance. Once again, CNN confirming that it was a minor wound. This is of course the first indication we have had recently of any return fire coming from pockets of Al Qaeda resistance.
Also, we need to bring you up to date on the fact John Walker's court appearance is now under way.
Let's turn to Susan Candiotti, who standing by outside that federal courthouse in Virginia, where this is taking place.
Susan, can you tell us what's taking place so far?
SUSAN CANDIOTTI, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, good morning.
It's over with. The hearing lasted only about 15 minutes. This was John Walker's first appearance. He walked inside the courtroom looking very tall, thin and a little bit gaunt, I thought. His head cleanly shaven with a little bit of hair. He looked around the courtroom as he was led in, but he did not appear to be handcuffed.
His parents, John Lindh and Marilyn Walker, who are amicably divorced, were sitting right in front of me. They told me just before the hearing began that they did have an opportunity to meet with their son downstairs in the courthouse on the lower floor, that they met with him for about 20 minutes, and in the words of his father, he's in very good condition. And his father told us, he accepted his representation, his counsel. In effect, he added he had wanted to see his lawyers for some time.
It was a very formal hearing, as they went through what needed to be done, and that was the magistrate reading the charges to John Walker, and there is little question now he will be represented by attorney James Brosnahan and a team of other three former federal prosecutors. He is one also. He addressed court on behalf of his client.
We also heard from John Walker. He spoke three times to the court. First after the charges were read, the judge asked if he understood them. He responded, "Yes, I do." Then the government summarized what the penalties were. He was asked if he understood. He said, "Yes, I understand." And then determined that he would be held in pretrial detention. There will be a preliminary examination at that time. Also it's possible that a grand jury might have met by that time, and an indictment might possibly be forthcoming.
There was at one point during the procedure where the lawyer representing John Walker addressed the court, and he told the judge that his client was arrested back on December the 1st, and that he went 54 days without seeing a lawyer. According to James Brosnahan, his client, John Walker, asked to see a lawyer, but he was refused one -- Paula.
ZAHN: All right, Susan Candiotti, thanks so much for that update.
Back here with my colleagues Jack Cafferty and Anderson Cooper, and I guess that was just as pro forma as many attorneys indicated it would. The interesting note -- actually let's go to federal prosecutor McNulty now, who is speaking to prosecutors outside of the courthouse.
Let's listen.
PAUL MCNULTY U.S. ATTORNEY: ... to most by now, they basically fall into four counts. First, conspiracy to kill nationals on the United States outside of the United States, second to provide material, resources, support to terrorist organization, and that actually is the second and third count, to different terrorist organizations, are specified in the complaint, including Al Qaeda. And fourth, to engage in prohibited transactions with the Taliban, on the Afghani government, led by the Taliban.
Those are the charges. Those charges are very serious. This is certainly a matter that has -- of utmost gravity with it, and he understands the charges.
The -- Mr. Brosnahan and his firm have been designated as counsel in his defense. And the magistrate Judge Sewell set a detention hearing and a preliminary hearing for February 6th. I believe that's a 10:00 in the morning.
Now he will be detained pending that hearing, and therefore, the next step will be the preliminary hearing. The government does have the right under the criminal rules to seek an indictment, and if an indictment is sought and returned by the grand jury, then a preliminary hearing would not take place.
Mr. John Walker Lindh also had an opportunity to meet with his family this morning, and he also met with his counsel privately before the hearing.
And I will take a few questions.
QUESTION: Has he had advice of counsel before this?
MCNULTY: He had the right to meet with counsel, and he met with them this morning.
QUESTION: Before then?
QUESTION: The lawyer report maybe opening shot that Walker not able to see (UNINTELLIGIBLE) reasonable amount of time. How do you answer those complaints?
MCNULTY: I won't discuss the legal issue raised by defense counsel this morning concerning when he had a right to see an attorney. That will be issue obviously that will be addressed in due course. I will draw your attention, however, to the complaint and the affidavit that's attached to the complaint, which sets forth the fact that Mr. Walker had signed a statement waiving his right to a counsel when he spoke to the FBI, and that's set forth in the complaint.
QUESTION: How do you explain the letter that he sent to his family, saying that he was glad to have counsel? How do you explain that?
MCNULTY: I am not going to discuss this morning, again, the issues associated with this question of legal representation, except to say that he is being provided as all defendants in federal district court would be provided the full panoply of rights, and that includes right to counsel. He has very competent counsel, and we will work through issues in due course.
QUESTION: Are you posting bail in the case?
QUESTION: Is there a possibility that you will bring other charges against him, including the possibility of treason?
MCNULTY: Well, the investigate of this matter, as the attorney general said last week, is ongoing, and the possibility for additional charges is always there as an investigation continues, so we can't rule out that possibility at this point.
QUESTION: Is the government opposed to any bail in this case?
MCNULTY: Well, as the government said this morning, we believe that there's reason for detaining Mr. Walker Lindh, and we set forth those reasons. They're specified in the United States law. The presumption is in the law, set very clearly for anyone who might be a risk to flee or present any danger to the community, and the question of his detention will be sorted through at the hearing coming up in February.
QUESTION: Mr. McNulty, is it important to your case these statements he made up to this point be included in the evidence that he presents?
MCNULTY: Well, I'm not going to characterize the importance of any particular piece of evidence. I think that the complaint speaks for itself in relation to the initial charges and how the statements he has made have been used. But we will look at all of the evidence we have and make decisions at the appropriate time.
QUESTION: Is he being questioned on the ongoing investigation on the Taliban and Al Qaeda actions?
MCNULTY: I can't comment on any particular investigative effort that's under way. Or I'm not confirming that there's such an investigation taking place.
QUESTION: Would you allow that?
MCNULTY: I am not going to comment on that.
QUESTION: Sir, was the FBI present when you met with his family and counsel?
MCNULTY: I can't comment on any procedures or arrangements made with regard to visits. That's a matter of security and also is a -- not something that can be disclosed. Any other questions?
QUESTION: That's a new charge, isn't it?
MCNULTY: These are the charges that were originally set forth in the affidavit, and complaint also specifies these four areas.
Let me just say in conclusion that we are going to make sure as best we possibly can, and I have great confidence that we will afford every right that is present under the law, and we will proceed in this very serious matter as is appropriate.
And thank you very much.
ZAHN: All right, you've just been listening to federal prosecutor Paul McNulty help us all better understand what transpired at this first court appearance that John Walker attended this morning. He outlined the charges that Walker faces, not ruling out the possibility of additional charges.
Now here at the same time, we have the president heading to a mayor's conference at the White House. He is expected to make some remarks shortly. This could be a pretty testy meeting. The mayors are asking to be repayed for the billions of dollars they have had to spend defending their cities from terrorist attacks.
And what is at issue here is the issue of block grants. The mayors would like to spend as they see fit, and they feel the administration is offering targeted assistance. These mayors that you are seeing in the room today will later travel by Amtrak to New York City to talk more about these issues, and when the president begins his address to the mayors, we will take it live, and then we'd like to review on the other side more about what Paul McNulty had to say about John Walker.
I will day on this picture for a second. Perhaps the toughest question Mr. McNulty was asked, and you know, Jack and Anderson, you are welcome to chime in here, is whether his client -- or whether John Walker had access to his attorneys in advance of the preliminary hearing. He said absolutely. He said what remains to be heard is the issue at what point he had any legal counsel in advance of this morning. COOPER ANDERSON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: His counsel yesterday said in a press conference that they -- the family and the counsel had just received a letter dated January 8th from John Walker, saying that he knew of the fact his family had hired counsel, but he had not had an opportunity to meet with that counsel yet, and he was eager to meet with them. The family just got that letter yesterday, and that was the first they learned that John Walker knew he had counsel.

Do You Want to Become a Private Investigator?
If you want to become a private investigator, it is important that you have clear and realistic views of the profession. You will need to understand right from the start that it will involve long hours and you will often have to sacrifice time away from your family and friends. Do not be surprised if you miss out on birthdays, milestones, family vacations and much more. The next thing which you will need to know is that the private investigation is an industry just like any other.
The truth is that you will need to do the required work, learn the required skills from a reputable institution, and you will also have to gain experience in the field. When it comes to private investigation, experience is very important. You will soon discover that you are competing with people who have years of experience behind their name, in addition to having worked on top cases. Although this can be intimidating, if this is really the career for you, then you will do what you need to do in order to make it happen.
You will need to be prepared to start out at the very bottom just like in any other career. There is no magic wand that you can wave to become a private investigator overnight. It will involve lots of hard work and when you start out in the field, you may need to work as an intern in order to gain experience. Do not expect to start making money right away as you may need to gain practical experience before you can really start seeing regular income. You may also need to consider specialising in a particular area of investigation in order to enhance your skill set and make you more marketable in the industry.
If you are passionate about the field and truly love this kind of work, you may excel in the industry. If you are willing to go the extra mile and put in the required hard work, you can be assured that anything is possible.
