Babies have 'brand-new' systems and for that very reason we parents find ourselves hesitant as to how exactly start.
As a rule of thumb, it's nice to work your way up from easily digestible to more complex foods.
People also ask, when is the right time to introduce foods to a baby. Well, it's a decision between you and baby! Say you've been breastfeeding and the logistics of your life require some changes, or - you notice baby being hungrier and needing something more solid! Digestive enzymes are put in place all the while and baby could be ready for food any time from 4 - 6 months, choose later if you can, opt for earlier if you must.
FRUIT is really only distilled water, natural sugars and enzymes - very digestible! The problem with fruit only for a long while is that baby may become so used to the lovely sweetness that s/he wants nothing else. A suitable sweetness for baby is the sweetness of 'freshly baked bread'. Try out one item at a time and - this brings out the scientist in you - watch baby's digestive cycle to check for any intolerances. Choose fruits that are Mother Nature's ready-made baby foods - mushable without having to cook them, e.g. banana and paw-paw. (Raw fruit creates alkalinity, cooked fruits acidity.)
Alternate fruit meals with VEGETABLE meals - choose sweet, starchy veg, e.g. butternut, carrot, sweet potato. To make babies' veg taste fab, add little additions of ghee, or a pinch of veg stock powder, or a drop of olive oil, or a drop of BRAGGS (salt-free seasoning) or a dollop of goat's cottage cheese, or some avo, or, a bit later, almond, cashew or macadamia nut butter or tahini.
The 8 months age is often a time when more complex foods are suggested. The maturing of your child's digestive system is paralleled by the cutting of teeth! Offer starches and proteins and make your decision based on how you experience your baby's needs for nutrition.
Millet flour and rice flour are excellent for soft porridge. (We stone-grind flours on our factory premises and in the Bryanston store; ask for organic brown rice!)
Bring 1/2 c water to a boil.
Stir 1/2 c flour with 1/2 c cold water.
Add into the boiling water. Close the pot.
Let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring every now and then.
You can add a bit of ghee and a touch of barley malt or certified organic rice malt.
Rice, or barley, or potatoes can be mushed with veg, or with softly cooked lentils.
Steam some tofu along with your veg and puree the lot.
Add almond, cashew or macadamia butter or tahini to the veg for some added protein.
A really beautiful blend is equal parts of banana and avo, though this sounds strange it is really good.
Make the food tasty - you're probably going to find yourself eating part of it, too!
When baby struggles to sleep through - and you haven't had an uninterrupted night for months - leave the porridge for the evening and serve the fruit in the morning! Starches stimulate serotonin production and are therefore calming, whilst fruit gives energy for when you can utilise it – in the morning!
Often babies have a greater appetite before they engage in a growth spurt or new developmental phase – as if they were fattening up for the work of growing!
When our baby suffers, we suffer - and it is quite natural to run to the doctor to put us out of our shared misery - quick!
Bear in mind though that some of the allopathic medications can be a bit too overcompensatory for baby's soft, new system - kind of like an AK47 to kill a moskito.
Here are some gentle baby-specific options that you may find a use for often:
COLDS & 'FLU - baby can't drink - from breast or bottle. Crush and dissolve a tablet of Ferrum Phos tissue salt with a drop of filtered water, give on a spoon up to 5x a day.
SLEEP - 5 drops Avena Sativa in a little water will help a baby six months or older to sleep.
FEVER - Belladonna D6
TEETHING - WELEDA Teething Drops. Yogi Tea is a combination of ginger, cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon & cloves and is mildly analgesic. Weak yogi tea with milk and honey (dissolve it in the HOT tea) goes down well. Give your baby pieces of dried mango to chew on – they are very handy in a little fist.
RUNNY TUMMY - Detoxinol is medicinal charcoal powder that 'binds' a runny tummy. Mix it with a bit of water and offer it to the little one on a spoon. Or use Digestodoron Drops. When baby has had a course of antibiotics, use the up-to-one year's specific colonic flora called INFANTIFLORA and for older-than-one-year's use KIDDIE FLORA.
CRADLE CAP - When you have a cup of rooibos tea, leave the teabag to cool down a little and pass over baby's head. You can also dab your baby's scalp with colloidal silver - a multi-purpose anti-bacterial agent that is very suited for internal and external use.
NAPPY RASH - colloidal silver gel. You can also rub this stuff on your nipples in between breast feeds if baby has oral thrush and give baby a teaspoonful of colloidal silver (liquid).
BABY MASSAGE - use WELEDA's Calendula Baby Oil, it has a warming and grounding effect and apart from moisturising the skin, gently massaging your baby is delicious for you and baby.
CONSTIPATION - Dilute 50 ml prune juice with 50ml water; or, soak 1 TS linseed in ½ cup of water and give the strained liquid. Goat's yoghurt is also useful for making the tummy work.
To increase: Dill Drops
To wean: Sage Drops
TAPIOCA PUDDING – is a useful food to help produce breast milk
Barely cover 1/2 c tapioca with water in a pot and leave to soak for 1/2 hour.
Add 2 c milk or milk substitute, pinch of vanilla and 1 TS fructose. Bring to a boil, stirring, and let simmer for 5 minutes or until the tapioca balls are clear. This is really delicious, hot or cold. Have it with Apricot Sauce which is a natural source of iron.
APRICOT SAUCE - cover 1 c dried apricots (preservative-free with no added sugar) with water in the blender and leave to soak overnight or for some hours. Blend in the morning and pour it over a fruit breakfast or the tapioca pudding.
WHICH MILK WHEN could be the subject for a dissertation – it is such a big topic!
Here are some suggestions: The use of soya-based formulas is at times discouraged: soya is a 'complex' food that baby cannot digest well at a tender age. What is not digested becomes a liability and may predispose one towards allergies. Potentially allergy-causing foods can be offered moderately at a later stage when the child's digestive system is more mature to engage and may, then, not cause a problem at all. It really is worthwhile prepping your child to be free of allergies!
GOAT'S MILK is physiologically closest to mother's milk - despite the staggering lack of visual semblance between goats and moms! - and evidenced by the fact that a goat's milk fed baby eliminates the same kind of odourless mustard-coloured stuff like a breast-fed baby - sorry for the detail! Goat's milk comes frozen and keeps for 5 days in the fridge after thawing. It may look a bit 'crumbly' as if it was split but when you warm it up it becomes smooth again. For convenience, we also have the ALPI Goat's Milk Powder. One mom, Karin from Caledon, invented a great combo: She mixed goat's milk and carrot juice half and half - the relative sweetness of carrot juice got diluted by the goat's milk - and her child got rosy cheeks!
Another child-friendly and vegan milk is ALMOND MILK Cover blanched almonds in the blender with filtered water and allow to soak. Drain the water, start blending, and slowly add the blending water as you liquefy the almonds. Strain this through a nylon tea strainer.
In addition to goat's milk, you can also offer your baby goat's yoghurt and goat's cottage cheese.
A WORD ABOUT COW'S DAIRY: Surprisingly, unpasteurised and unhomogenised organic milk results in far fewer allergies. Why is that so? Flash-heating (as in pasteurisation) - apart from rendering the milk acid-producing - kills the milk's natural enzymes too which help it being digested. As we recall, pasteurisation was invented in the industrial age with its problems of rapid population growth, accompanied by poor sanitary conditions. TB was widely contracted through cow's milk and pasteurisation curbed these statistics. Regrettably, today, because pasteurisation 'neutralises' bacteria, it ends up being the fix-all for less-than-perfect hygienic conditions in dairies. (Great, so now you have dead bacteria in your milk!) Our organic milk from TB and CA free herds comes from a very special dairy that prides itself on squeaky-clean conditions - the milk is so unbelievably amazing that it keeps fresh for 8 days! (Come in for it on Tuesdays when it gets delivered!)
BARLEY MALT - this mildly-sweet, mineral-rich, grain-based sweetener promotes the decongestion of lungs. In the first 7 years of life, children tend towards more mucus than older children and adults. Find ways to assist with this tendency, e.g. offer fruit to take care of some of your child's longing for sweets!
RICE MALT - we import this certified organic grain sweetener from Japan, in addition to its absolutely amazing texture it causes no allergies whatsoever.
ALMOND BUTTER - the less of the common allergens a child ingests the higher will be it's tolerance towards foods that occasionally cause allergies in some individuals. Almond butter has so much to offer in terms of nutrition that it's worthwhile offering it to your child; it also has a child-friendly taste.
TAHINI - our locally produced tahini is nuttin' but ground sesame and 5% cold-pressed sesame oil for a smooth texture. Great source of calcium and protein!
FRUITS & ROOTS BABY FOODS: We have diminutive portions of Butternut & Carrot and Pears & Prunes in the freezer - of course additive-free!
GM-FREE MEALIE MEAL - if it's organic it's automatically GM-free! Choose true foods not genetically made-over modified ones
GHEE – clarified butter. Gently warmed butter gets strained to remove water and milk particles, making it dairy-free dairy! Get all the taste of butter minus the lactose! A wonderful food for lactose-tolerant AND lactose-intolerant! One of the best inventions of India! Keeps at room temperature without spoiling. Keep a pastry brush next to it and 'paint' your toast! Studies in India have shown that it reduces cholesterol..
BRAGGS – we import this non-fermented and salt-free soya sauce. In addition to its fine health credentials (the only soya sauce you want to use when you have candida) it tastes brilliant on plain steamed veg – and anything else.

The Benefits of Being Uncomfortable
Collin performed in his preschool's Spring Sing program. We think he was strategically placed on the back row!
Exercise to me involves a good pair of running shoes and an open trail. Running is what I enjoy. It works for me. Rarely do I deviate from my passion. But yesterday I found myself perched on a yoga mat surrounded by a handful of girlfriends. One friend won a semi-private yoga class and I was included on the invite list. Yoga wasn't running, but I decided I'd treat the class as an "outing," a "social event" with friends.
I have sporadically attended yoga classes in the past, but it had been years (a decade even?) since my last class. As soon as we hit the first Downward-Facing Dog, it became apparent that I was out of my element. I think runners hold this faulty notion that somehow we possess superior athletic skills that equip us to exceed at any and all sports. The thought is: If I can run for hours on end, I can surely master volleyball/tennis/bike riding/fencing/shot put/air hockey. So, went my thinking with yoga.
As I struggled with the grueling plank poses and the endless vinyasas, I landed on a staggering conclusion: Yoga is hard, really hard. My puny muscles aches and my wobbly tummy muscles screamed for mercy. My back was drenched with sweat. The makeup I had applied (yes, I put on makeup!) was now dripping down my cheeks.
The pinnacle of my pain came when we tackled the "Eagle." The instructor explained:
-tuck your right leg over your left leg,
-now, pull the front foot behind the back leg,
-then wrap your right arm over your left arm,
-intertwine fingers,
-now bend,
-hold, and
-hop, quack, and count to 100 (just kidding on that one).
It was grueling. Instead of an "Eagle," I looked more like a duck. During this torturous exercise, the instructor threw out a tidbit, a life lessons of sorts. She said, "Practice being uncomfortable. When you find yourself in other uncomfortable situations throughout your life, remember how you got through this one."
During the final few minutes of class, we collapsed into the corpse pose (decidedly my favorite part of the class). I closed my eyes and lay completed still, arms and legs outstretched and relaxed. I ruminated on the instructor's words, "Practice being uncomfortable. Remember how you got through the discomfort."
I thought about the uncomfortable situations in my life. At first, little plights flashed through my mind: dealing with a whiney child, an annoying neighbor, a frustrating project. But then I pondered bigger situations. I thought about my Asperger's son. I reflected back on all the "uncomfortable" moments from his past and the present challenges, all the "practice" I've had at being uncomfortable. I ruminated on all the ways I've had to push him out of his comfort zone, and therefore I've been pushed out of mine. Memories flooded my mind; times where we made it through each and every challenge unscathed, and perhaps a little better.
In this day and age, discomfort is treated as a bad word. We do everything in our power to ensure comfort. We demand luxury, convenience, happiness. We expect things to go smoothly and quickly. (And by we, I'm including myself!) But the thing is, life is not always comfortable. A life lived will include discomfort. It's how we learn to treat the discomfort that makes the difference.
Yoga class was uncomfortable for me, but that's OK.

That's it..... ...... I QUIT!
by, 27-Jun-2014 at 22:16 (564 Views)
I quit my job.
Oh, it's been building up for some time now. I am worth so much more than I am paid.
I've had a plethra of jobs over the years. I normally hold down a job for 2 - 3 years. I've done production, warehouse, sales analyst, and tons more.
So, I got a new job within a week. I mean, I am the fastest person I know when it comes to getting a new job. I usually work a job for 2-3 years and then move on once I realize I've had enough and I am not getting what I need.
I went from 8.60 an hour to 13.00 an hour.
This week has been terrible. This new job is a real challenge for me. It's very tough. I am working 10 hour days which isn't that big of a problem because the schedule is:
6 am to 4:30 pm 10 hours a day 4 days a week. Monday - Thursday.
Then I get Friday, Saturday, Sunday off.
Problem is.... I had to mandatory overtime today. So I've worked all 5 days for 10 hours and no chance to work on a video.... which Is what I really want to do.
Even typing this blog out has me feeling exhausted.

Eclectic, upscale, peasant food.
Vintage Restaurant is proud to be primitive. If anyone can spin grass and berries into a platter of delights, Jeff Keys can. Along with wife Sheila, the couple produces a unique menu that changes daily with the whims of the owner/chef, the available produce and the freshness of the locally farmed seafood, meat and poultry.
"Vintage is not a machine-driven restaurant," he says. "We don't have the fanciest equipment. We have very little space. We are hand-made in every sense of the word."
Menu highlights include Delights of the Naked Stranger, rock shrimp tamales, crispy skin roast duckling, pecan crusted chicken and spicy Cajun oysters.
Housed in the restored historic Burt Cross cabin, Jeff and Sheila combined the best of their popular previous restaurants–Soupcón and Bellevue Bistro–to create Vintage.
The environment reflects his sensitivity to elegance and comfort. A rustic and warm interior gives the visitor a cozy feeling as they await their meal.
Jeff says his creativity is guided by the ingredients he uses.
"The natural beauty and intrinsic value of the ingredients tell us what to do," he says.
Those who want to attempt to replicate their experience at home, or at least do so vicariously, will enjoy perusing the recently published Vintage Restaurant: Handcrafted Cuisine from a Sun Valley Favorite.
Eclectic, upscale, peasant food.

I spend a lot of time as I am making my purchases playing around with color, shape and texture. These are a few strands of beads I bought one day that I was messing around with while we were all at lunch. I am home now with a suitcase of new treasures. I will be posting some pictures of the spring/summer line of jewelry as the inspiration comes along. Lots of yellow, orange, greens and blues with some black and crystal. Thanks for the interest, and I hope this gives you some insight into the process. dorene

2. Fitness to drive: You must be fit to drive with regard to the legal and medical requirements. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are fit to drive on each of your lessons or test. Sickness, tiredness, alcohol illegal and prescribed drugs may affect your driving; any of these could put you and other road users in serious danger. If you are taking any drugs please check with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure they will not affect your driving. In the interests of public safety, we reserve the right to cancel your driving lesson or refuse the use of the school car for the driving test if there is any suspicion of impairment because of illness, drugs or alcohol. You maybe required to provide a sample of breath in the event of being suspected over the legal drink drive limit.
3. Payments and Cancellation: Tuition fees are normally payable in advance. Payment can be made by cash, cheque Internet transfer or pingit. Any cheques offered for payment that are subsequently refused by the bank will be subject to an adminstration charge of £25.00. If you cancel your lesson at least 48 hours notice will be required for single lessons of up to two hours duration. Longer lessons need a minimum of four days notice. Failure to give notice will result in a valid claim for an equivalent value in compensation (i.e., a cancellation fee will be charged ). Your instructor will do everything possible to ensure that your lessons start and finish on time, but reserves the right to cancel, postpone or change lesson lengths and start/finish times under certain circumstances (e.g. dangerous weather conditions). In the event of postponement, fees paid in advance will be carried forward. The instructor reserves the right to cancel a lesson at short notice if it is suspected that the pupil may be unfit due to the effects of alcohol, drugs (prescribed or otherwise) or any other condition that would cause his/her driving to be dangerous or illegal. In such circumstances the lesson fee will be payable. If you have paid for a block of discounted lessons & the block is not completed for any reason & a refund is requested you will receive a refund at the cost of full price lessons. All block bookings must be completed within a set period of time i.e.; 10 hour course (5 x 2 hours) must be completed within 8 weeks unless an extension is given by instructor, 20 hour courses should be completed within 13 weeks again extensions can be agreed by the instructor.
4. Bookings and Lesson duration: Your instructor will endeavour to maintain regular lesson slots at the same time each week to ensure continuity of learning, however, this cannot be guaranteed. The minimum lesson period is one hour. If, for any reason, the instructor is late for the lesson he/she will make a concerted effort to inform the pupil of the estimated time of arrival. If the delay is greater than 15 minutes this time will be credited to the pupil and when possible the lesson will be extended by the time due – if this is not possible the extra time will be carried forward to the next suitable lesson.
5. Training Location: All sessions will start and finish at the same location unless alternative arrangements are made in advance.

6. Training vehicles: Training vehicles provided by the school are taxed, insured for the purposes of driving tuition, fully roadworthy and fitted with dual controls. Pupils who require tuition in their own vehicle must supply evidence from their motor insurer that their car is covered for lessons when being supervised by a professional instructor in return for payment; the car must also be taxed and hold a current MOT certificate where appropriate.
7. Driving tests and bookings: Your instructor reserves the right to refuse use of a driving school vehicle for test if he/she considers that provision of a vehicle could cause a risk to public safety. Where a school car is used for test, the booking period will be based upon the instructor's normal diary schedule. Depending on the time of the test this will require a minimum two hour booking and possibly longer. Whilst your instructor will make every effort to ensure that the vehicle supplied for test will be fully roadworthy and comply with all legal requirements at the start of the test, he/she cannot be held responsible for vehicle failure that occurs during the test and is not liable for consequential loss. Your instructor cannot be held responsible for test appointments cancelled by the DSA. Your instructor will advise about claiming compensation from the DSA.
8. Code of conduct: Your instructor agrees to abide by conditions of the Professional Code of Conduct.
9. Your rights: These conditions do not affect any protection that you have under consumer legislation. We reserve the right to change or alter any of the terms and conditions without notice, but will endeavour to inform pupils of any changes as soon as possible.

Rush Hour, Chicago
Early evening traffic
rather heavy.
Autos armadillo home
along the Outer Drive
as people out of mouths
of buildings enter mouths
of anything that moves
wherever every evening
they are going. Tonight
they interrupt the passion
of another person's day,
the crone beside hydrant
who once again this evening
bows and swoops and curses
as she burlaps broken glass
making faces at the people
propped in autos staring
as she lets the traffic pass.

Henry Lamb at Salisbury Museum – art , literature and war
I knew of Henry Lamb's work only though his portrait of Evelyn Waugh. On seeing this exhibition at Salisbury Museum I realised I had seen some of his Second World War paintings of Canadians before. So this exhibition was a great chance to see more of his work and find out more about the artist.
The exhibition at Salisbury Museum
The museum itself is close to the cathedral and the staff are very welcoming. It is paid admision so be prepared for that.
The exhibition covered the artist's life from start to finish with plenty of work from each phase. As well as finished work sketches were included. In the war artist section this showed how he made colour notes on sketches. These informed the finished work which was also on display. I thought this was a lovely bit of curation.
Some of the highlights were seeing major works alongside family portraits. Also the quotes from others and his relationships as a young artist. He was legendarily good looking, so there was plenty to read about! The portraits of his family and children were a contrast to the earlier and war work. Again seeing a body of his work on his family made the exhibition worthwhile.
The permanent displays
We had a good look around the rest of the museum. The archaeology galleries are very well laid out and plenty of objects to discover in cupboards and drawers. Seeing familiar objects from photographs in context with related finds is always interesting.
From the very contemporary archaeology galleries the costume display is very much traditional regional museum in feel. We both liked this mix of new and old in presentation though. The costume collection is impressively varied and naturally has local connections. The reconstructed doctor's surgery is a reminder of how tough things were before the NHS.
If you're in Salisbury I'd recommend a visit to the museum. And they have their own cafe.
How museums get new objects
New artefacts for old?
Something I'm regularly asked when people find I work in a museum is "how do museums get new objects"?. The answer probably is that it varies. Where there's a collecting policy the process is transparent but otherwise an enigma inside a mystery.
On visiting the National Army Museum in Stockholm in early September 2017 I saw their exhibition dedicated to explaining this mystery.
How museums get new objects – the exhibition
The Army Museum's exhibition was in their temporary exhibition space on the ground floor. I liked the focus on objects for visitors to reflect on and practical examples. Also the emphasis on who made decisions.
A key part of the exhibition was an infographic showing the path an object follows to join the collection. Unfortunately this was in a shadow so whilst legible in the museum didn't photograph well. This was supported by another display explaining who makes the decisions.
This display was very honest about the influence of individuals and groups on collecting policy. It stated that in the museum's early days former soldiers were making the decisions but now it's mainly highly educated middle class people.
An object that didn't get in
An example of new objects was based around items used by an officer in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Most items were conserved ready to go into the collection. One item was not and this was the shipping crate the officer had lived in. Why was it rejected? Because it wasn't the actual container the officer used but one the shipping company sent. So a good example of an object being rejected because of a lack of direct association with the museum's purpose and lacking heritage authenticity.
Sutton Hoo display at the British Museum
Ship burial from Sutton Hoo redisplayed
The Sutton Hoo ship burial and the dark ages artefacts found there have fascinated many of us from first sight. The full face helmet alone is an amazing object in its own right. The other treasures create an impression of wealth not normally associated with the popular idea of the Anglo-Saxons in the dark ages.
The recent redisplay of the Sutton Hoo discoveries at the British Museum shows the objects familiar to frequent visitors in a new setting and with new interpretation. What I liked most about the redisplay was the context given to the finds. The display case is long and tall with the outline of a ship in white. The photo shows this is faint but helps remind visitors that the objects come from a ship grave. This is underlined by the simple labels showing whereabouts in the ship the objects were found.
Recreated objects and interpretation
A big change in this display is the number of modern recreations of objects displayed alongside the originals. I liked this approach because it helps the non-specialist understand what the original looked like and can help see how it was used. For example the modern versions of the cauldron and chain make it clear the size of the object and it's use. Not least the length of the chain shows it was hung from a high support. I also liked the way the modern versions were clearly marked to avoid confusion.
Inevitably the modern helmet attracted most attention while I was in the gallery. Having it displayed by the original allows a compare and contrast the two. Plus it shows how much the Anglo-Saxons liked to create an impression with polished metal objects.
The reconstructed helmet has more detailed interpretation than I expected. It highlights the pagan horned dancing figures similar to other pagan depictions. It also points out the similarity to Roman cavalry tombstones that show a Roman (or auxiliary) riding down a barbarian.
The shield was a reconstruction to provide a display for the original shield fittings and this is essentially unchanged. It has a modern and an original sword below it. Seeing the modern sword in pristine condition helps the visitor imagine the impact visually and physically of this finely made weapons.
Sutton Hoo and the Anglo-Saxons
What does this splendid display tell us about the Anglo-Saxons and their world? It makes clear the wealth that an individual could command. From gold metalwork and red garnet fittings on the pouch cover to the workmanship of the helmet's decorated panel and ridge it shows the love of bling and display. Identifying where objects come from gives an insight into the wider world of the time. Clear links between East Anglia and East Sweden are seen along with silver plate from the Mediterranean (more dark ages bling!).
The discovery is significant enough to feature in the name of Room 41 at the British Museum. Room 41 is now the Sutton Hoo and Europe, AD 300-1100 gallery.
The Vikings exhibition in Falmouth
A day out at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall
My longstanding interest in the Vikings whether historical or in miniature meant the Vikings exhibition at the NMMC in Falmouth was a must see! Because of the distance it meant little time to see the rest of the museum although we found time for the cafe funnily enough. Walking through the museum I did like the Viking inspired decoration of the learning area.
The Vikings in Cornwall
Most people think of the raids on the North East coast, York and Alfred burning the cakes when Vikings are mentioned. However, they really got around and that included Devon and Cornwall. The Great Army burnt down Exmouth in Devon where I live and some residents think they should do so again! In Cornwall there is evidence of settlement and trading which the exhibition included. The combination of interpretation, reconstruction and objects really brought this out clearly I thought.
Vikings – raiders or traders?
This argument has a long history and I've encountered it since university days in the late 1970s. Coincidently this same argument applies to the Homeric world of the Iliad and Odyssey which I studied in the context of ancient banditry but that's one for another blog.
I liked the way the exhibition clearly brought out both sides of Viking life. The combination of the large clear interpretation panels and related objects was excellent. Being able to handle objects was good too. My mother was amazed at the weight of a mail shirt and said being able to touch it really helped imagine it in use.
Including weapons and slave fetters illustrated the dark side of Viking life. Backed up with DNA research showing how many Icelanders are descended from Irish women taken as slaves. The Irish connection was well documented in the exhibition too.
Trading ship Walrus
My favourite part of the exhibition was the recreated Viking trader the Walrus. Visitors are allowed on this boat which was both fun and informative. Moving about on the deckspace really made both of us appreciate the skill and courage needed for sailing shallow draft ships on the high seas.
Speaking with a well informed volunteer about how the ship was made at the NMMC and finding out more about some of the recreated objects was really interesting. I didn't know that the Vikings used hazel as barrel hoops which makes perfect sense in terms of time and resources. After all splitting hazel is quicker and cheaper than making iron hoops.
How the Vikings made things was a really strong theme in the exhibition. From nails for ships to rigging from intestines there was enough information to appreciate how preindustrial societies relied on skills, crafts, time and effort. I also learnt that saws were not used but a broad headed axe provided a means of splitting wood into planks.
Invisible Vikings
No, not some form of dark undead from the Sagas but women and children. Another strength of the exhibition was including women and children in the interpretation and the objects on display. A lovely object was a child's toy boat and imaging it being played with really brought the past closer. Having a reconstructed trader's booth with a female mannequin was a nice bit of trading interpretation. The clothes worn were plainer than often shown which seems sensible as the cost of fine clothes with tablet stitch decoration would make plainer working clothes more practical.
As you leave the exhibition
I enjoyed the display of modern items inspired by the Vikings. Everything from films to comics, toys to the Rover badge. A good assortment of souvenirs were in the shop although I didn't buy anything. Most of the items were very reasonably priced as well which is always good to see.
Three men and a Viking boat
By odd coincidence a week after visiting the exhibition I was at Legionary, the Exeter Games Show, talking to a friend and a trader about Viking ships.

House of Holland's autumn / winter 11 collection was a wash of colour and fun, with crocheted shawls and knitted disco dresses it was a true representation of the brands' quirky and fun ethos.
Henry's twisted sense of humour and style is apparent in every single piece of the collection, from the bingo ball tights to the checkered body suit.
The collection proved that Henry really has come a long way from his "Get your Freak on Giles Deacon" slogan tee's.
Not bad for an ex smash hits editor..

Art collectors and aficionados understand the power of a studio visit. If you are considering a work of art and making it a part of your collection, a studio walk-through with the artists can really seal the deal. You can be confident in your choice after seeing the artist in his or her own environment and entrusting you with a sense of what makes them tick and how their work comes to be. A relationship between patron or collector and artists can develop that is quite powerful and enhancing for both parties.
But you can't be everywhere at once, which is where the latest free eBook from Southwest Art—The Best of My World: A Visit with 5 Artists in Their Creative Spaces—comes into play. Artists from across the country open their doors to us and give us a sense of their art practice as if we were walking right through the door of their studios, so you can discover artists who are working in noteworthy modes while getting a sense of who the artists behind the work is and what they stand for.
Do you have a memorable story of a studio visit? Leave a comment below as we would love to hear who you've been able to visit in their studios and what kind of insights about their work came about during the visit. Don't forget to download your copy of My World, as you'll be able to have five studio "visits" that are just a convenient click away. Enjoy!

NH man sentenced to 63 months in federal prison for armed bank robbery
CONCORD — A Nashua man was sentenced to 63 months in federal prison for an armed bank robbery that happened in 2015.
According to court records and statements made in court, around 12 p.m. on June 25, 2015, Daniel Quinn, 48 of Nashua, entered the St. Mary's Bank in Hudson wearing a black hat, a mask and gloves. He was carrying a knife in his left hand while keeping a brown leather satchel over his left shoulder that hung by his waist on the right side in which it appeared he had a handgun.
READ: Man who robbed Hudson bank, took hostages faces fines and prison time
Quinn forced all of the patrons and employees, other than those behind the teller counters, to line up against a wall while he robbed one of the tellers using the knife. After getting money from the teller, Quinn took one of the bank employees hostage to make his escape.
Shortly after they left the bank, the hostage was able to get away from Quinn and ran back into the bank unharmed, while Quinn ran in the opposite direction.
The Hudson Police Department responded to the bank within minutes of the robbery, and a police canine quickly picked up Quinn's scent. Police were led to a residential neighborhood close to the bank where Quinn was found hiding in the side yard of a home.
Quinn was taken into custody without incident, and the leather satchel containing the money from the robbery, along with the knife, the gloves, the mask and other items related to the robbery was found within a few feet of him, partially covered with leaves. Police said a BB gun was also found in the satchel.
In imposing the sentence Friday, United States District Judge Landya B. McCafferty told Quinn that his conduct at the bank that day was an act of terror.
Quinn pleaded guilty on September 13, 2016, and after serving his prison sentence, he will be on supervised release for three years.

Take a look at the concerns raised employers in the past and read the reassurances offered:
Employer concern
Might it affect productivity?
Employers who have offered placements have not found this to be the case. The job coach will work with the young person to ensure that they pick up the tasks required of them to make sure productivity is not affected and there is the added benefit of reduced workloads for teams.
Will it take up a lot of time for me and my staff?
Some input will be needed from you but the school/college will set that out very clearly from the start and it's something that will be kept under review. The job coach will work with employers to ensure that it doesn't take up too much time, providing additional support to both the young person and employer.
Are there health and safety issues?
Interns are covered by the employer's insurance as if they were an employee. For the vast majority of interns, there will be no need for any considerations beyond those that exist for all staff. If there are particular issues, these will be discussed openly with you and strategies agreed between the school/college, employer and intern with support provided to implement any additional control measures. The school/college will do an initial assessment at the job matching stage, which should prevent interns being placed in unsuitable environments in the first place.
Do we know how to cope / communicate with a disabled person? What if we can't manage their behaviours or meet their support needs?
The job coach can support both staff and employer to communicate effectively with the intern and provide advice on strategies for managing challenging behaviours or creating an environment which will minimise the risk of such behaviours occurring. The job coach will always be available to you, either on site or at the end of a phone, if issues/concerns are arising.
Can someone with a disability really do any of the jobs I could offer?
Employers are often surprised at just how much a person with a disability is able to do, once the right support is in place. It may also be useful to think how a specific role might be 'carved' for an individual if tasks were allocated differently across a team. Some employers have found productivity is increased when they take this approach (e.g. freeing up some staff from data entry work, taken on by the intern, so they can do more customer-facing activity).
What will other staff or customers / clients make of it?
The job coach can support the staff to understand the abilities and needs of the intern. It is rarely a problem for existing staff and often brings out the nurturing side of one or more colleagues who thrive in that role. Customers and clients are often pleased to see a diverse workforce, especially if it helps the workforce to better reflect the local community – and that's any workforce that serves the general public. If issues do arise, the job coach can help negotiate solutions.
Will a job coach just get in the way and be an extra burden?
Job coaches are very skilled in making their presence as unobtrusive as possible. They are likely to be around quite a lot to start with – but this is very helpful to the employer in getting the intern trained up to do the job and ironing out any teething issues. As the intern grows more confident, the job coach will begin to withdraw their support over time, although they will continue to monitor the placement and will always be available to the intern or employer if additional support is needed (e.g. if employer introduces new or more challenging tasks).
Will I face some kind of equality / discrimination challenge if I don't recruit the intern at the end?
Employers are not obliged to recruit the intern at the end of the internship. This is the ideal outcome but is not always possible. Employers are only expected to recruit the intern if there is a vacancy and the intern is the best candidate for the job.

Building learning bridges
You are here
Building literacy and numeracy learning bridges
By the time Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children enter an early learning program, they already have a variety of socially and culturally valued literacies, including oral literacies and numeracies.
Often they've been communicating with signs and gestures from a young age. They also have a rich foundation of numerical and other mathematical understandings, although their systems for representing number may differ from the English language system.
Effective educators acknowledge all different forms of literacy and numeracy, and develop an early learning program which values and builds on what children already know and can do.
You can do this by:
- educating yourself about the culturally valued conceptual skills children already have
- providing learning opportunities that incorporate oral traditions and stories, songs, dance, music, symbols, environmental patterns and relationships, and material art and cultures of the community
- making connections for children that broaden their experiences with the texts, letter-sound relationships, symbols, pattern systems and mathematical concepts of the broader world
- saturating the learning environment with Western and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sounds, signs and symbols, oral and written texts, visual and creative arts, technologies and media
- partnering with families to connect the literacy and numeracy experiences of the kindergarten program with children's experiences in the home.

I am a bit surprised at the forecasts and data coming out by the leading agencies and institutions on silver mine supply. According to my research, the USGS understated U.S. silver mine supply while Thomson Reuters GFMS over-estimated global silver production for 2013.
Let's take a look at U.S. silver production first. If we look at the table below recently released by the USGS, domestic mine supply fell compared to the same period last year.
Total production for 2012 was 1060 metric tons (mt). If we subtract out December's production (101 mt) we would get a total of 959 mt for Jan-Nov 2012…. 3 metric tons more than the same period this year. Furthermore, if production for December is 84 mt, then total production for 2013 will be 20 mt less at 1040 mt (2012 = 1060 mt).
These figures are according to the USGS data. However, if we go by figures released by the public companies in their quarterly and annual reports, we see a much different picture. Here are the production figures for the top 7 silver mines in the United States:
(*Red Dog estimated production)
Hecla's Greens Creek mine in Alaska increased production from 6.3 million oz in 2012 to 7.4 million in 2013. The second largest supply of silver in the U.S. comes from the world's largest Zinc producer called the Red Dog mine in Alaska. Teck who runs the Red Dog mine doesn't release silver production figures, so both the USGS and GFMS need to estimate production.
Because zinc and lead production at Red Dog increased 4-6% in 2013, I estimate silver production at 6.1 million oz (conservative, it could be higher). Also, even with the huge landslide at Rio Tinto's Kennecott Copper mine last year, silver production increased from 2 million oz in 2012 to 2.8 million oz in 2013.
I realize production growth from Kennecott in 2013 may not seem realistic, especially to the conspiracy theorists, but copper and gold production also increased at the mine. The folks at Kennecott just did a great job working around a complete mess.
Production from Coeur's Rochester mine in Nevada remained flat y.o.y., but U.S. Silver's Galena mine suffered a decline of 150,000 oz.
Hecla's Lucky Friday mine came back online in 2013 adding 1.4 million oz, while Revett Minerals shut down their Troy mine in Montana at the end of 2012, removing 1 million oz from the total domestic mine supply.
So, the net change in production from all these mines was an increase of 2.4 million oz. If we subtract Rochester's production from the group, because it's in Nevada, the total increase of silver production from the category labeled "The Other States", was still an increase of 2.4 million oz.
Converting 2.4 million oz into metric tons, we get nearly 75 mt. So, how did U.S. production decline (according to the USGS) if the top U.S. Silver mines show a net increase of 75 mt?
If we look at the USGS chart above, the losses originate from the "Other States" group. Currently the Jan-Nov total is 726 mt. If we add an estimated 61 mt for December, total production from the other states would reach 787, or 18 metric tons less than the 805 mt figure in 2012.
You will notice that Nevada's silver production will be nearly the same as it was in 2012 (250 mt), when we add a forecasted 19+ mt for December. Again, how did the USGS report a decline in U.S. silver production from the "Other States" when the company data shows a growth of 75 metric?
The only area where silver production could fall in the U.S. would be from by-product copper production coming mainly from Arizona. However, copper production in the U.S. is up 5% compared to last year. I doubt by-product silver production from copper mines declined in 2013.
I believe U.S. Silver production in 2013 was actually higher by 2-3 million oz.
GFMS Forecasts For 2013 Global Silver Production Are Incorrect
This brings me to the Silver Market Update put out by GFMS in Nov, 2013. GFMS estimates silver production to increase 27 million in 2013. Here is a slide from their presentation:
In this chart GFMS shows the biggest winners and losers. They report that the U.S. adding about 6 million oz, Mexico 4 million, and the Dominican Republic a little more than 3 mil oz. Furthermore, there was an increase coming from Tahoe's Escobal mine in Guatemala, starting commercial production Q4 2013.
Escobal will become a big player with forecasted silver production in 2014 of 18-20 million oz. Unfortunately for Tahoe Resources, the locals are not too happy with their Escobal mine. There have been murders and killings on both sides of the protest.
This is by no means a small matter by a few disenfranchised locals:
Tens of Thousands Oppose Tahoe Resource's Escobal Project in Guatemala
(Guatemala City/Ottawa) Contrary to Tahoe Resources' recent claims, tens of thousands of people oppose its Escobal project in southeastern Guatemala. Repression and violence have been the outcome of company and government efforts to install the project without social support. A recent high-court decision in Guatemala reinforces the legitimacy and importance of local decision-making processes.
More than half of the communities in the municipality of San Rafael las Flores, where the Escobal project is located, have declared opposition to the mine. In five neighbouring municipalities, in the departments of Santa Rosa and Jalapa, a majority have voted against the mine in municipal referenda, in which tens of thousands of people participated. The most recent vote took place on November 10th in the municipality of Jalapa, department of Jalapa. Over 23,000 people participated with 98.3% voting against mining and 1.7% in favour.
This is a perfect example of what Jim Sinclair states "As the wrong way to go about starting up a mining project in a foreign country." Jim believes you must have the support of the locals, or the project will be doomed for failure.
And it didn't help Tahoe Resources PR one bit when their contracted head of security, Alberto Rotondo gave direct orders to assassinate members of the community of San Rafael Las Flores.
Tahoe Resources executive in Guatemala orders killing of protestors
"The preliminary investigations found that Rotondo gave the order to attack the community, he also ordered the crime scene to be cleaned up and change the police report."
The information reveals Rotondo making several statements: "God dam dogs, they do not understand that the mine generates jobs". "We must eliminate these animals' pieces of shit". "We can not allow people to establish resistance, another Puya no". "Kill house sons of Bitches"
Rotondo was apprehended at the airport La Aurora, when he trying to flee the country. Wire tapping of conversations between him and his son reveal that he planned to leave Guatemala for a while, because "I ordered to kill some of these sons of Bitches."
I've known about the problems with the Escobal mine for quite some time, but it just seemed like a good time to share this news with my readers.
Getting back to the subject at hand, GFMS shows that Poland will suffer the biggest decline at 6 million oz. I looked at KGHM Polska Miedz's Q4 2013 report and they show a decline of 4 million oz… so GFMS was close on this call.
Here are the figures from the data I collected:
MEXICO (2012= 170 mil oz) (2013 = 169.5 mil oz)…. FLAT
PERU (2012 = 112 mil oz) (2013 = 118 mil oz) … UP 8 mil oz
AUSTRALIA (2012 = 57 mil oz)(2013 = 54 mil oz)… DOWN 3 mil oz
POLAND (2012 = 41 million oz)(2013 = 37 mil oz)… DOWN 4 mil oz
U.S. (2012 = 32.6 mil oz)(2013 = 35 mil oz)… UP 2.5 mil oz
CANADA (2012 = 21.3 mill oz)(2013 = 20.3 mil oz) DOWN 1 mil oz
The net change in production from these top countries is an increase of 2.5 million oz. I believe GFMS overstated the U.S. and Mexico's production while over-estimating the decline in Poland. I did not include Russia, China, Bolivia or Chile in the top group because I don't have estimates on their production for 2013.
Early in 2013, Mexico's silver production was down 10%, however several mines ramped up production during the second half of the year bringing overall production to the same level as 2012. This table comes from Mexico's INEGI website showing April 2013 production figures down 10%. Silver is Plata in Spanish.
If we assume that production grew moderately in China and slightly in Russia, Bolivia and Chile, I don't see production increasing 27 million oz in 2013, forecasted by GFMS. I estimate global silver production growth in 2013 will be closer to 15-18 million oz.
Thus, total production for 2013 will likely be a little more than 800 million oz. GFMS 2013 World Silver Survey reported production in 2012 at 787 million oz. Adding 15-18 million oz to that figure we would get 802-805 million oz.
I do realize GFMS had partial data when they released their silver production forecast in Nov, 2013. However, I'm surprised that they listed the U.S. as the largest winner over Peru. It will be interesting to see what GFMS reports as their total silver production in 2013 when they release the 2014 World Silver Survey in May.
Global Silver Production May Increase 30+ Million Oz In 2014
We may see an increase of 30+ million oz of silver production in 2014. This will come from increased production from Tahoe Resources Escobal mine (18-20 mil oz), ramp up of several mines in Mexico, and Peruvian miner Volcan adding two new projects at 6 million oz.
Some may see this as a bearish indicator for the price of silver. I don't. Again, I look at the price and value of silver on a long-term basis. Even if the world produced 900 million oz of silver… at $25 this would be $22.5 billion. That amount is peanuts compared to the liquidity being thrown around by Fed and Central Banks.
Furthermore, the world still hasn't realized that the supposed wealth held in paper assets are in fact LIABILITIES. Paper assets derive their value from a growing economy. Unfortunately, the world is peaking in global oil production irregardless of the Great Shale Energy Hype. As global oil production declines on top of falling net oil exports, the value of most paper assets will implode.
Final Word On Peak Silver
A few years ago, I wrote two articles on Peak Silver. I stated that global silver production would decline shortly after global oil production peaked. I still hold to that forecast. In the article, I said there was a chance if the global economy did not rebound in 2009, then 2008 could be the year global silver production peaks.
I based this forecast from what took place during the 1930's depression. The chart below shows how U.S. & global silver production declined during the depths of the depression.
Due to the tens of $trillions of liquidity the Fed and Central Banks threw into the financial markets, the 2009 Global Depression was averted. This allowed BAU- Business As Usual to continue in the world and mining sector.
If the financial system collapsed along with the broader markets, I truly believe global silver production would have fallen considerably in the years following 2009. Furthermore, easy money and low-interest rates allowed the world to extract and consume expensive low EROI oil that it really could not afford.
The end of this decade will be nothing like the beginning. The Financial Industry will come under the weight of peak oil. Paper assets will lose value and investors will be forced to move into physical assets to protect their wealth.
Gold and Silver will offer a WAY OUT to the PAPER PONZI SCHEME. Unfortunately, only a few will see the light before it's too late.

CLINTON -- Lucille Simmons walked through a cemetery off Randolph Street early Thursday, pointing out the lineage of several Jones County families.
"That is Jim Solomon's grave," she said, standing beside an unmarked grave with the slab fallen in. "He died a long, long time ago."
A few steps later she stopped at another grave.
"She was married to Herman Pitts. He lived down off of Lite-N-Tie. That's his wife and son right there. ... This is his mother- and father-in-law."
And then another.
"I forgot he was buried in here," she said, standing in front of the grave of a World War II serviceman. "I remember Wallace Black. He's related to Emma Blow. I think that's her uncle."
The cemetery has come to the forefront of Jones County politics in recent weeks. This week, county commissioners rescinded a June decision to authorize a quit-claim deed for the cemetery to an Atlanta-based organization, M.H. Mitchell Inc.
Dozens of Jones County residents pushed for commissioners to rescind their June vote because the Mitchell group, a nonprofit that aims to preserve Southern historical sites, wanted to ban future burials there.
It was that point that struck a nerve with many who showed up at Tuesday's meeting.
"It wouldn't have been a problem with me if he just wanted to come in and clean it up, but not block us out. That was my problem," Simmons said.
Before the commission rescinded the vote, Commissioner Bert Liston said, "Information has come before us now that, unfortunately, we didn't have last time, and maybe we acted hastily, I don't know. But at the time, we didn't know what we know now."
Simmons, 74, has lived in Jones County her entire life.
"A lot of these people growed up in Clinton," she said of the families buried there.
Hundreds of graves -- many unmarked -- span from the early 1800s to as recent as 2004.
Simmons said she wants to be buried in the cemetery between her husband and son, farther back in the cemetery than a well-kept plot where her parents and brothers are buried.
Donald Card, 70, has cleared and maintained his family's plot for nearly 50 years. He cares for the area once a month.
Those two plots, at the entrance to the cemetery, are maintained by family members, but venture farther into the property and the scene is a bit different.
Much of the cemetery is "in just terrible shambles, a mess," Jones County Commissioner Larry Childs said Tuesday.
Commission Chairman Preston Hawkins called it an "eyesore."
"A lot of people don't even know a cemetery's there," he said last month.
David Mitchell, of M.H. Mitchell Inc., addressed commissioners in June, explaining his plans to restore the cemetery.
County officials couldn't find a record of who owned the property, so they opted for a quit-claim deed, County Attorney Frank Childs said.
The cemetery is known by several names -- Clinton Cemetery, Old Clinton Cemetery or Ross Cemetery.
Jones County bought the tract of land in 1810, he said, but there is "no record as far as anyone's knowledge of the county doing anything over on that property within 100 years."
By processing a quit claim deed, the county was not necessarily giving Mitchell ownership of the property, but relinquishing any interest the county may have held in the property.
"I don't think it can be proved who owns the land," the attorney said. "There's been no taxes paid on it for as long as anyone knows."
Mitchell, who also has family buried in the cemetery, said he had "grand plans" for the property, which he called a "real bizarre and unique collection of history in desperate need of preservation," in order to ensure that it exists for another 200 years.
Plans for organizing a cleanup group were already being made Tuesday.
"If we can get the churches to pull together, we can do the restoring of these graves ourselves," said Tony Blow, who has family buried in the cemetery.
"Let's restore these graves and bring them back to where they will represent our love for our family."
Louie Lashley, who attended the June meeting and helped organize Tuesday's showing by contacting the families of those buried in the cemetery, has scheduled a meeting this month to organize a cleanup effort.
They hope to start in August by clearing undergrowth, he said.
Hawkins said "one good thing" came out of the situation.
"It's going to get people's attention," he said.
Mitchell had few words at Tuesday's meeting.
"It was never my intention to cause this heartache," he said.
"I'm very sorry to each and every one of you. I hope that you carry through with your desire. I hope that you fulfill what you're saying. I look forward to seeing what you do."

You know when you want something so much you can almost taste it? That was me today. I woke up craving runny eggs and sautéed spinach and buttery whole wheat toast. Instead, I got dressed in the dark and headed to the woods for a four-hour run.
My friend Hilary was meeting me for the first loop — the first two hours. I am training for my first ultra (and I'm actually going to run it this time and not talk myself out of it a few weeks before!). This race is 32 miles on some gnarly raw single track, all rocks and roots and hills and climbs. As the race description says, "A nightmarish course of rocks and roots with a bit of elevation thrown in." That sums it up.
There's also a 40-mile version, but I'm not ready for that on this course. I chose this race because it's very local, where I first started trail running, and it's so notoriously difficult that many people don't finish it. Plus it's in December so it could be sleeting or snowing or raining, or just icy-leaf-covered.
So I'm pretty excited about it. We ran the first loop slowly. It's an 8-mile loop. For some reason I'm really tired today. Around mile 6, Hilary was asking me if there's coffee at these races. I said it depends on the race and on who's running the aid station. And then I had the brilliant thought that I should bring my little thermos full of coffee and have it in my drop bag at the race.
I was facedown on the trail. My knees, one elbow, and both hands had landed on rocks and roots, neatly missing the softer dirt in between. I rolled onto my back and blinked.
"Do you have ibuprofen?" she asked.
Ibuprofen, I thought. I should put that in my drop bag, too.
We finished the loop and I was so tired and still thinking about eggs. Two eggs, over medium. I wanted to be done.
"I won't tell anyone if you don't do a second loop," she said, climbing into her car.
"Well," I said, "I would know." Here was that voice, though, telling me I should go get some coffee and then come back. Go get some coffee. My to-do list is a mile long. I have a bunch of phone calls to make, jobs to apply for, things to take care of. I am bleeding from a lump on my knee.
Once alone, I texted another friend, Dana: "I am super tired and completely wiped out hitting rocks with every joint. I don't feel like going for lap number two."
A text back: "Ugh! Hang in there! Second wind about to hit!"
What? Did she just basically tell me to get out there and do it?
Eggs. Eggs and coffee. They could be mine. So fast. So easily. I could listen to that little voice in my head telling me to give up, give up….
No. I started my watch again, pulled out half a PBJ, and headed out again, power-walking while I ate. And then I began to run again.
I knew if I just went out for an hour, I could be done….because then it would take me an hour to get back, so I would have no choice but to do the whole loop.* This time I went clockwise. Rumor has it counterclockwise is easier, and what better time to check the truth of conventional wisdom?
They're right. Counterclockwise is much easier. Clockwise has all the steeper uphills. I shamelessly walked every hill. I went on. Two miles. Blinded by all the sunlight coming through the unleafed trees and glaring off the shiny oak leaves carpeting the trail. Visor. I'll need a visor. Three miles. Oh hey, 5.5 miles, still blinded by the sun and shiny leaves. Six. Almost done! In this direction, the climb to the fire tower was near the end of my run. Fire tower! A mile to go! Half a mile!
Done. I'd ignored that little voice of defeat in my head and I went out and did it. A 16-mile trail run today.
And then I got into my car and drove right to the diner and ordered those over-medium eggs and some coffee and spinach and the buttery whole wheat toast. Honestly, I didn't even really want all that food at that point, but darn it, I'd been wanting eggs since the alarm went off at 5:30, and I was going to have them, even if I didn't quite feel like I needed them so much anymore.
Who knows how the race will go? All I know is I trumped that little defeatist voice today. And that was what I needed.
*You might be thinking, "Two hours to go eight miles? Really?" Yes, really. I ran one loop last weekend with some really fast guys, and we did it in 1:41. I could probably do maybe two loops at that pace or near it, but then I'd really slow down after that, and I'm not trying to get anywhere fast. I'm trying not to sprain an ankle. This is not a trail you run really fast on — well, I don't, anyway. And that's fine.

In New Zealand, the Kiwis may be seeing more of the local post office with its recent partnership with Menulog.
Menulog is on online food and beverage ordering platform, which has been in service for more than ten years now. This has partnered with several restaurants so that people can easily order their meals whenever they want to.
At present, the 800 partners of the company already have their own ordering platform, but for those who still do not have their own, Paul Dodds, the commercial manager of Menulog NZ, says that the Local New Zealand Post would be responsible in delivering the food from the rest that do not have their own. He adds that there are a lot of restaurants that have yet to established their own delivery system. Until they can find NZ couriers who can do this for them or at the time that they have the means to establish their own, Dodds says that the New Zealand post is the best choice as they have nationwide coverage.
New Zealand Post already started delivering for Menulog in April. One of its more popular clients is KFC. What could have prompted this to accept the deal from Menulog? The national postal service has been experiencing a decline in mail and parcel deliveries, no thanks to the new and faster NZ couriers in the country. It was a clear indication that they needed to diversify their options and not solely depend on traditional stream of income. The break from Menulog was a chance that was considered too juicy to pass up since it was a way to increase the office's income.
Currently, the partnership is still in its testing phase. NZ Post currently depends on 20 NZ Post drivers in Auckland. If everything goes well, they are expected to roll out operations across the country in the next few months. If everything goes smoothly, then the locals might be able to see some job openings for a few more drivers from the New Zealand Post soon.
Dodds says that he is excited about this new venture. Menulog has about 300,000 subscribers to date from all major towns and cities. With the inclusion of the New Zealand Post in the equation, could this mean that this figure could balloon even more in the coming months?

Hi Tony - I can completely empathize with you and what you are going through. GET HELP. I would sugest seeing your regular doc (one you're comfortable with) and explaining ALL of your issues, don't hold anything back. I did and shouldn't have. It took a couple of years before I finally was able to find out what was wrong with me. Your doc may want to put you through some tests to rule out anything physical but remember the more
open you are the closer you'll be to getting help. I wish you the best and remember you're not alone.

Your GP may be able to recommend or refer you to a psychiatrist. A lot of GP's will treat folks with panic disorder, but my personal preference is to let a specialist in mental disorders handle it. But whatever you decide, please try to remind yourself that there's no shame in having panic attacks. And a lot of people are helped through therapy to overcome them. Don't turn your back on help! It would be a shame to spend your life suffering when there's help to be had! :)
"if there's someone you know and loving them so, but taking them all for granted, you may lose them one day, someone takes them away and they don't hear the words you long to say...I would give evrything I own just to touch you once again...just to hold you once again."
From the song "Everything I Own" by David Gates (Bread)
He wrote this for his father, after he passed away. Don't hold a grudge. It takes up so much room, it crowds out the love...
If you want to keep things in perspective when the little things are getting you upset, say what I say: "And the starving children in Africa thought THEY had a problem!" Suddenly, the fact that you forgot to get an item at the store or dropped a glass of juice doesn't seem all that big a deal anymore.

I agree with the others. Start with your G.P. He/She will know how to direct you. Definiately don't wait-the longer you hide this disorder the stronger it gets! I would recommend just one more thing. I am not anti-medication, it is a very useful tool for treating A/P however, I think that counseling and finding the behavioral tools for healing is the most important treatment. If you start there, I think that you will do well! Don't delay...call your doctor yesterday! :)
Take Care and give us an update soon

Those who overstayed in Ukraine and wonder what to do now and what to expect on the border must find this post of their interest. No rumors, no silly advice, just pure law.
A warning or UAH 510 to UAH 850 fine is imposed on a foreigner overstayed in Ukraine (art. 203 of the Administrative Offence Code of Ukraine).
Moreover, any violation of immigration and visa legislation is a legal ground for authorities to expel from Ukraine (art. 26 of the Law of Ukraine On the Legal Status of Foreigners and Stateless persons). If such a decision is made, then the foreigner is given 30 calendar days for leaving the country. The authorities can also decide to ban the foreigner from re-entering Ukraine within 3 years.
P.S. Giving or offering a bribe imposes the following liability: fine UAH 8500 to UAH 12750, limitation freedom or imprisonment from 2 to 4 years (art. 369 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

A Dallas high school art teacher is on leave and under investigation after posting a video (shown below) in which she pretends to assassinate President Donald Trump.
Payal Modi, a Fine Arts teacher at Adamson High School, staged the "assassination" of Donald Trump while showing her class the inauguration on Friday. In the video, Modi is seen pointing a water gun at a whiteboard where the inauguration was being projected. Modi aims the water gun at the projected image of Donald Trump and screams "Die" while pulling the trigger about a dozen times. Students in the room can be heard saying "Hit him!"
Incredibly, the video first surfaced when Modi posted it on her Instagram page under the screen name "payalemm." It then began to circulate online. It also appears her own students helped identify and expose her as the person in the video. She posted the video with the caption "Watching the #inauguration in my classroom like….#no #stop #denial #squirtgun #hypocrisy #powerless #saveusall #teachthembetter #atleastitsfriday."
Modi has since turned her Instagram account to private.
According to an official at the Dallas Independent School District (DISD), Modi is on leave as an investigation proceeds. The Gateway Pundit reports that the Secret Service is investigating, but no official statement has been released.
Here is a picture of Modi, available from the Adamson High School website.
Her number as listed on the website is 972.749.2202 and her email address is [email protected].
Here is the video of Modi's stunt.
Modi has not issued a statement since the incident, and Dallas Independent School District officials are not elaborating. They only confirm that Modi has been placed on leave and is under investigation.
Even if her actions were in jest, Modi could still face felony charges. At the very least, her teaching career should be over. With zero tolerance for students in regards to violence, Modi's actions are beyond the pale.
