I was going to start my post off with just how douche-baggish life has been recently on my side. Buuuut, the girls and I just rounded off bath time singing Louis Prima at the top of our lungs, re-enacting that Jungle Book scene with Cousin Louis, complete with throwing our limbs in all directions (or as far as my injured foot would let me), and maybe even some jazz hands thrown in for good measure… Who am I kidding!? It's Louis Prima- OF COURSE there were jazz hands!
Now, I don't know if it's the reminder of what dance does for my soul, or the fact that I realised that my girls love swing music as much me, but I'm left on such a high….it's possibly both. But here I am wondering why I wasted many of the my recent past nights not singing swing, while my cuties shake their squishy naked-just- bathed patooties to my wholly off-key performance.
Sure, maybe my absolute exhaustion had something to do with it. (DUH) That, and the relentless pain that my plantar fasciitis (foot injury) is letting me stew in for the past three weeks that could also just be chipping away at me. But I feel much lighter now that the "cloud of urggh" has lifted somewhat.
Now to give you an idea of this cloud, without dipping to far down into boo-hoo jar, and to give you an idea of how exhausted I am, I'll tell ya. It could be mistaken for some made-up slapstick bits, but this here is real life, folks.
So in some semblance of the "your mama's so…" jokes format, let me give you my "I was so tired, I…" version:
1. First up…Morgy was bitten…on her back…at school..by another child. Yes, cue all the gasps, fury of a mother, frustration, heart-break and concern that accompanies such an event. It was an ugly bite, and part of a long series of her getting hurt horribly by other children whilst in the care of the school. So whilst my response to the school was measured, it was still sharp, and heavy. There are still thoughts and action points swirling in my head about it and I was actually going to share it with you all, but I was just so tired, and emotionally spent that I just couldn't get myself to write about it. Urghhh.
2. I made Nesquick for morgy the other day- a rare request from her, I was so tired, I didn't even question or protest it, I just agreed to it. Anyhoo, I was so tired that I placed two teaspoons of the powder into a glass and then proceed to pour the milk into the Nesquick container. Urrggh. Had to toss the lot – probably better that way too. I think that jar expired last year.
3. Last Wednesday Morgy asked for some juice. I was so tired I poured out a little juice in a glass, carefully diluted it, put that glass back in the fridge and handed Morgy the 2litre bottle to enjoy. Urghhh. It was her weary, "mom?" and suspicious glances at me is that eventually gave my oopsie away.
4. Then after burning several dinners this month, or just not being able to lift a finger to cook at all, I thought there'd be no way I could screw up Woolies' 20 min schnitzels, right? I was so tired, but I timed them, watched my phone diligently, put the alarm on, and told myself to focus on nothing but the oven. 20 minutes passed and I sprang up like popped toast, pleased with my ability to finally focus on something again, only to find the raw bloody chicken still sitting ontop of the counter…I was so tired, I had forgotten to put the freakin dish in!!! Urgghhhh…I'll save you the sob saga of me undercooking and then burning it close to ashes that ensued thereafter.
But you get the idea and there are plenty more such nuggets of "DOH-ness", but, for now, screw that! In my head I'm swinging, darling!
Yes, sure, there's the craft/pretend play/whatever-you-got time with the girls, in which I willingly pour myself into, and amazingly it has my full focus, and happy vibes. It's like I recently shared with one of my readers that, that is when everything just clicks for us, in these silly, creative and funs moments of life. Moments that either organically come or we create them. Like, right now it's leprechaun traps and Easter prep. Any of it is not necessary at all really, but I choose them. I choose to do them, for my kids. And for myself. Mostly, because spending time with with my girls makes me really, really happy.
And it's something I have a direct control over, and have an input into how much more enjoyable I can make their day. And, if I think about it, maybe that's what driving me a little nutty about life right now: this feeling of lack of control over other certain bits in my life. Bits that feel like they're crumbling under me, with no direction really apparent.
I know I need to humble myself to these kind of tides in life, acknowledge them and release my doubts and fears. But as many a human in history, I forget. You ever forget? Yeah, me too. So, instead, I cling and get caught in this effort to fight that tide, and before I know it, I'm deep under the deceptive waters of self-doubt and feeling lost.
But then ordinary moments of magic like last night's swing session happen. They come and slap you in your whole face, and remind to come up for air already. Breathe.
And from above the water one is reminded that good days come, that bad days come, and possibly turn into weeks, and sometimes feel as if they're never going to leave. But they do. Guaranteed. It's part of the ebb and flow of life.
Amidst the not so wonderful and amazing days, we have these very ordinary but very incredible swinging days, and they arrive like massive gasps of fresh air to lungs that have been suppressed in murky waters for a touch too long. They lend perspective, and offer opportunity. When they come, release yourself into them, take it as the opportunity to shake out those kinks. And also to realise that there are plenty of deep waters to navigate in this here life, but one's life can overflow with sweet, happy moments if we care to embrace them. And even more so, if we care to find them.
I hope that I'm also managing to teach my girls that life is never so tough that you can't break out into fully-committed dance moves, unashamedly sing out of key, and beatbox with wayyy too much spittle and way too little beat. In fact, life is the better for it, if we do. And in those moments when it becomes hard to steer one's thoughts towards the positive, we can always steer our bodies there with some fine music and fun company. The mind is sure to follow! Taylor sure was on the money with, "shake it off".
Now, if only this foot would heal already, so that I can really get my groove on!

Research and development
is at the helm of every brand.
Using alternatives to ingredient
staples has traditionally
caused consumer skepticism,
and rightfully so. But when
mainstream options like dairy,
peanuts, eggs and wheat are
off the table, it's necessary to
look at ingredients that food
innovators might not have
considered previously. Keep
in mind that consumers value
taste and texture above all
and they'll be the first to tell
you if a product is bland or
pales in comparison to regular
supermarket finds. It is why
increasingly more companies
are following the lead that Enjoy
Life set over 17 years ago, which
is to only provide products that
are best-in-class, while making
certain they meet the dietary
needs of their consumers.
As new technology and new
ingredient development is
commercialized, it provides the
opportunity for new uses of the
planet's existing offerings.
A perfect example: algae-derived protein. Algal protein
had long been overlooked for
many reasons – it sounds less-
than-appetizing for starters
– but recent advancements has
made it a go-to source for many
products like our Baking Mixes.
Additionally, protein derived
from algae is highly sustainable
and is friendlier to the earth vs.
other animal or plant proteins.
It was only 30 years ago that
food allergies affected .75%
of Americans and now nearly
5% of the population lives
with them on a daily basis.
What's more alarming than
this is the rate in which our
industry is recalling product
due to unstated allergens in the
product that is manufactured.
In 2017, over 50% of all the food
product recalls were due to
unstated allergens or mislabeled
product. This could result in
allergic reactions which are on
the rise. From 2007 to 2016, life-threatening allergic reactions to
food increased 377%, according
to a study by FAIR Health. With
no known cure and definite
cause as to why food allergies
occur, that's just the tip of the
It's clear that this is an
indication that the food industry
needs to continue to adapt, and
it's opened doors of opportunity
for brands and retailers alike
to lead a food movement that
that will not only save lives
but enable them to become
a solution that is needed for
today's population.
Packaging with Purpose
Consumers place trust in
transparency. They want to
know exactly what is and isn't
in your product, but they also
don't want to spend time
playing the guessing game.
As noted in an article on Food
Dive, according to a new study
from Response Media, study
results show that 70% said their
purchases are always or often
influenced by transparency
content. Giving these items
valued real estate on pack
is a mutual benefit. Taking
that transparency to the next
level, companies must have
a robust website that allows
for consistent updates on
ingredients and supply chain.
But don't count out bold design
and food visuals. Consumers
want to see what they're about
to eat, and they love visuals so
they can actually see the real-food ingredients. When it comes
to design, it doesn't get bolder
than going totally teal. We made
the decision to turn our entireproduct portfolio of 70+ bakingchocolates, cookies, snack barsand more to the color teal, the"unofficial" recognized color offood allergy awareness. It's beensuccessful at creating a brandblock on shelf so shoppers with
food allergies can easily spot our
trusted snacks. Each package
also includes a bright yellow
flag with allergy and product
certification information so
there's minimal guessing if it's
safe for them to eat.
Retail Opportunity
Industry research indicates that
free-from shoppers spend an
average of $102 per cart load
compared to $46 for regular
shoppers, a 122% increase in
spend per shopping trip! As
the consumer base continues
to expand and prove that
individuals are willing to spend
more if a product actually tastes
good and is safe for them to eat,
there's additional opportunity
to expand placements. End
caps, displays throughout the
store, and digital promotions
are all effective ways to increase
visibility where consumers
are shopping. When retailers
implement an extensive free-
from set, it's a win-win for
both shoppers and retailers.
Consumers want easily-
accessible free-from products
and retailers become the
destination for consumers
needing these products.

State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert on Thursday defended the Trump administration's decision to withdraw the United States from the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization.
Earlier on Thursday, the State Department announced that the U.S. had decided to leave UNESCO, citing the international body's "continuing anti-Israel bias" and "need for fundamental reform" as reasons for the move.
Recent Stories in National Security
Reporters at the State Department press briefing asked Nauert if the decision was made because the Palestinian Authority is a full member of UNESCO. Nauert said that Congress previously passed a law that states the U.S. will provide no funding to a U.N. entity of which the Palestinians are a full member. She also called for reform at UNESCO and the U.N. more broadly.
Nauert then said that UNESCO has made anti-Israel "political statements" in the past. She would not speculate on whether the U.S. would pull out of other U.N. bodies as well.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the Trump administration's decision to leave UNESCO and announced his intention for Israel to pull out as well.
I welcome @realDonaldTrump's decision to withdraw from UNESCO.
— Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) October 12, 2017
This is a courageous and ethical decision because UNESCO has become a theater of the absurd and instead of preserving history, distorts it.
— Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) October 12, 2017
I have instructed the Foreign Ministry to prepare Israel's withdrawal from UNESCO in parallel with the United States.

Campus Resources
Turtle Creek Bookstore
Turtle Creek Bookstore is the Beloit College Bookstore. A Barnes & Noble bookseller serving the college, city of Beloit and the greater stateline region, the store offers Beloit College apparel and gifts, textbooks and textbook rental programs (for Beloit College students), as well as a wide selection of popular books, magazines, and other Barnes & Noble items (including the Nook e-reader). The bookstore is located in downtown Beloit (444 East Grand Avenue) and is a short walk from campus.
Indian Mounds
The Beloit College campus features 20 conical, linear, and animal effigy mounds built between about AD 400 and 1200. One, in the form of a turtle, has inspired the symbol (and unofficial mascot) of the College. Similar mounds are found throughout southern Wisconsin and adjacent portions of surrounding states. They were built by Native Americans identified by archaeologists as Late Woodland people. These people may include ancestors of the Ho-Chunk (Winnebago) people and other tribes.
Beloit College boasts a diverse array of collections available for hands-on practice.
Sanger Science Center Collections
In 1848 the natural history collections were born when Rev. Stephen Peet, one of the founders of Beloit College, donated minerals that formed the nucleus of the College's Cabinet Collection. The Cabinet Collection grew to include taxidermied bird specimens, a herbarium, and geological and paleontological specimens. Most of the bird mounts were safely disposed due to arsenic, which was historically used in taxidermy preparation, but the remainder of the natural history collections are stored in the Sanger Science Center.
Logan Museum of Anthropology
In 1891 Frank Logan purchased the Horatio Nelson Rust Collection and commissioned Rust to exhibit the collection and purchase additional items at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. Logan became a Trustee of Beloit College in 1893 and the Rust Collection was subsequently donated and the Logan Museum of Anthropology founded. Today, the Logan Museum houses a world-renowned collection of over 350,000 archaeological and ethnographic objects from more than 125 countries and 600 cultural groups.
Notable ethnographic collections include Native North and South American, Asian, Pacific, and African material. Particular strengths in archaeology include European Paleolithic, North African, Wisconsin, Great Plains, Southwestern U.S., Mesoamerican, and Peruvian material. Collections derive from Beloit College anthropology field schools as well as gifts from notable researchers, collectors, and alumni.
Over 4,300 Logan Museum objects are accessible online via the Beloit College Digital Collections.
Wright Museum of Art
In 1892, Helen Brace Emerson donated her personal collection of art to Beloit College and created its first program in art appreciation. She was also instrumental in bringing to Beloit a collection of plaster casts of ancient Greek sculpture that had been exhibited at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. These were presented to the College in 1894, and strengthened an art program built on tangible works for study and appreciation. In 1930, the college partnered with the city of Beloit to fund the construction of the Wright Museum of Art.
Today, the Wright Museum houses approximately 6,000 objects, mostly European and American prints and paintings, College portraits, 19th century historic architecture photos, Soviet political propaganda posters, and Asian decorative arts, icons, and woodblock prints.
Over 730 Wright Museum objects are accessible online via the Beloit College Digital Collections.
Note: the Wright Museum of Art Collections are only available online to users who are located on campus.
Neese Theater Historic Costume Collection
The Neese Theater Historic Costume Collection contains about 400 clothing items donated over the years by alumni. Mostly women's garments, the collection includes items from the late 1840s through the 1950s. The collection represents a significant historic resource for the study of costume history and design.
130 historic textiles are accessible online via the Beloit College Digital Collections.
Morse Library and College Archive
Center instructors and participants have full access to the library and archive while on campus, however, resources may not be checked out from the library. Computers located on the main floor near the Library entrance marked Guest Access are accessible to instructors and participants during library hours.
The Library is available during the following hours from June 16 to August 3:
- Monday-Thursday 8:30am-10:00pm
- Friday 8:30am-5:00pm
- Saturday Closed
- Sunday 1:00pm-10:00pm
An overview of library and archive resources available for instruction, spaces accessible for teaching, and staff contact information is available below. If you are interested in using one of the spaces for teaching or wish to schedule a visit to the archive collections, please contact us and we will arrange it.
Preservation Supplies and Equipment
The Logan Museum of Anthropology and the Wright Museum of Art serve as teaching museums and as a result make use of a wide array of archival supplies, tools, and equipment. You can download detailed lists of what is on-hand at both museums below.
Community Resources
Beloit Historical Society
Beloit is also home to the Beloit Historical Society (BHS), which is located less than two miles from campus. The BHS was founded in 1910 and is the oldest historical society in Rock County, Wisconsin. The BHS manages two sites—The Lincoln Center and the Hanchett-Bartlett Homestead, a circa 1857 Victorian farmstead. In 1990, BHS moved into the recently renovated Lincoln Center, formerly Lincoln Junior High School (1921-1985). The Lincoln Center is currently the administrative center of the society and houses collections, exhibition and public event spaces, the Luebke Family Library, and the Elliott-Perring Sports Hall of Fame. Behind-the-scenes access to BHS collections can be arranged for hands-on practice and teaching. Please contact Nicolette Meister for more information.

Kylie Jenner's new lip kit is basically liquid gold already, selling on eBay for over a thousand dollars. And according to the Lip Kit's official Instagram page, it might actually become gold, rose gold that is.
The official Lip Kit By Kylie Instagram account just shared a pic of the most breathtaking lip color I've ever seen. The metallic rose gold gloss drips from a pair of lips, making the shot look exactly like the Lip Kit's logo.
The stunning pic is captioned "inspo," which makes us think King Kylie might be giving us a clue about her next kit color. It totally makes sense that Kylie would pick such an unexpected color, because she's always taking fashion risks and loves rocking metallic details.
I was hoping she would do a plum shade next, but rose gold is much better!

Day 13
1 Thessalonians 5:12-13
Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.
Prayer Points:
Rebuking of The Spirit of Mammon's Influence Among Politicians
The spirit of mammon deals with money and/or finances. It is heavily empowered in the political arena. The sheer breadth, scope and cost of elections give it prime territory to wield its influence on the minds and thoughts of elected officials. Campaign cycles are now virtually never ending and the concern of reelection is at the height of nearly every elected official's mind. This makes it difficult to focus on legislation without the concept of quid pro quo rising to the forefront.
Pray that this scenario will be rebuked.
That the influence of money on the minds of elected officials will be diminished.

Trump would be a risk to military
Despite Donald Trump's bravado that he would protect America like no other commander in chief, members of the U.S. armed forces should be very worried. For them, there can be no more dangerous president.
Some of Trump's military faux pas, while offensive, do not pose direct threats to national security or to the lives of servicemen and women. True, he doesn't know what the nuclear triad is, or the difference between Kurds (our allies) and Quds (Iran's special forces). He disparages Sen. John McCain, who spent more than six years in a Viet Cong prison.
But as a retired Army colonel and Afghanistan veteran, I am both insulted and alarmed by the ease with which Trump is offering aid and comfort to our enemies through his outrageous statements and false narratives.
Take his proclamation that soldiers under his command would follow his orders to kill the children and wives of suspected Islamic State fighters. Though he subsequently said he would not use torture or order family members to be killed until he can get the laws changed, this does not alter the fact that Trump is certain soldiers would kill children at his behest.
If Trump had spent time in uniform, he would know that those who serve, fortunately, follow a very different moral compass.
Likewise, Trump's recent recounting of an apocryphal anecdote about Gen. John Pershing murdering Muslim Filipinos during the Moro insurgency is as dangerous as it is false. Pershing did not kill 49 Muslims with bullets dipped in pig's blood, or allow one survivor to send a message to the remaining insurgents.
Trump's apparent intent is to demonstrate his toughness to voters by refusing to be constrained by the rule of law, morality or traditional American values. Of course, what Trump actually achieves is far different, and highly pernicious – providing valuable propaganda for terrorist recruitment.
Such reckless behavior is embarrassing and dangerous to all Americans, but especially to the military men and women deployed overseas who put themselves in harm's way every day.

Forbes magazine has put out on the interwebs a short opinion piece about the importance of corporate reputation. This is mostly a big "what else is new?" for the 3 troglodytic companies out there that are still unaware that their image can drive success. But it is always good to preach the smart stuff, even to the converted. The writer, Anthony Johndrow, is with something called the Reputation Institute, and he does pretty nice work of restating why -- especially in this economy (the justification for basically every business article right now that would not normally be considered newsworthy) --
"Companies that are leading the reputation economy are not doing one or the other [serving 'two masters']. Rather, they are able to tie both their products and services and their corporate image together in the interest of both"
I think it's a bit silly to really start calling anything the "reputation economy"(what the what?!). Anyway, we're basically in the "circling the drain" economy or maybe the "suffering-based economy." The piece is still worth a read. You can find it here.
Thanks for reading.

Appetite is both a psychological and physical phenomenon. Sometimes we eat for reasons like when we're bored, stressed, tired, thirsty, or just because you "have to eat" other than our body needing nourishment. There are many weight loss programs and diet pills marketed as appetite suppressants; one such is the HCG diet available in many nutrition or health food stores online (should you consider this, make sure to purchase only from those with trusted HCG merchant account), but this should only be used under medical supervision because this could be dangerous for people with medical conditions.
This article however, is about how to curb appetite naturally.
1. Drink water; the body often confuses thirst with hunger. Or give your after-meal snacking habit a healthy fix. A tasty cup of (unsweetened) herbal tea will help satisfy your perceived hunger and keep you feeling full.
2. Brush your teeth or use mouthwash. The flavor change helps you resist eating more.
3. Eat on a smaller plate. Research says it leads to eating less; the less you see, the less you eat. What better way to lose more pounds than slash calorie intake.
4. Eat every three to four hours to keep your metabolism going and stave off hunger. Your blood sugar won't have a chance to drop so low that you get famished and then binge. If you want to eat more often, you can, as long as you keep your calories in check.
5. Here's an interesting one: Put a blue light bulb in your fridge or use a blue plate and watch your munchies disappear. Of all the colors in the spectrum, blue is an appetite suppressant, whereas, the colors yellow or red increase appetite.
6. Eat slowly. Wait 20 minutes before having seconds or another course. That's how long it takes for your brain to receive the "full" signal.
7. Eat right. Foods high in fiber and water keep you full at a low-calorie cost. Also, load up on a combination of protein, fiber-rich carbs and fat. These three building blocks can buy an extra hour of satiety.
8. Chew on sugar free gum. Studies show that gum chewing helps limit cravings for both sweet and salty snacks and makes you feel less hungry.
9. Get enough sleep. A shortage of sleep lowers the level of leptin in your body, resulting in an increase in appetite and a desire to consume calories in excess of your normal daily needs.
10. Sweat out! Forget the notion that exercise makes you feel hungrier. It actually decreases your appetite, but only if the workout is intense. Just be sure to fuel up properly afterwards.
Addressing other body needs might also help you to figure out other issues beyond food. This would hold you down in consuming unnecessary amount of calories especially when you're unsure whether you're truly hungry. Since eating can be a way to cope with boredom, try to address other issues before you nosh. You can find something else to do for 20-30 minutes. Most hunger pangs will pass during that amount of time. Get away from the kitchen and step outside for a walk to relieve the stress, or drink a glass of water to quench what probably is just a lingering thirst. If after doing all these, you feel even much hungrier, you can now be confident that your hunger needs to be taken cared of. Go ahead nosh on the hearty goodies, but stay away from the high-calorie no-no foodstuff!

If there is one thing that I think I know after my 31 years on earth so far, its that having a standard and a set of values is a useful way to navigate the endless possibilities and choices in this information rich age. For me, what to read, how to spend time, who to spend time with, what path to follow, and what decisions to make, most of the time come down to me putting the question at hand in front of the mirror of the things that I have decided I value the most. Of course the things that I value now have evolved over time, and I am sure they will evolve further as I meander through life, but at the minute, I hold integrity, anti-fragility, and enjoyment of life as my main values, and find that running my big decisions through my the filter of my core values generally helps me make decisions that I enjoy and are a good fit for what I believe in. It took a lot of deep thinking, meditation, reading, and experimenting for me to decide on my current set of values for life and recently I have noticed that these days we generally lack a set of values what in comes to the food that we eat, which could potentially be seriously affecting our choices, our state of mind, and our health.
The saying 'If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything" springs to mind. Think about all the information that is out there on the internet, billboards, and in shops that are designed to influence what you buy and what you eat. You think "They wont fool me, those marketing tricksters!", but you can rest assured that unless you have a set of values when it comes to what you and your family eat, you will fall into the trap of buying what the big shops and companies want you to buy. Teams of marketers and researchers are out there every day studying the colours that attract our attention, the text that sparks our interest, the sounds and smells that spike our senses, the images that make our mouth water, and even the places that we are most likely to see. Most crucially, large food manufacturers are even onto the biological responses that make us crave certain foods. We are hardwired to seek out fat, sugar, and salt, from a time gone by where those three things would be either in short supply, seasonal, or required for survival when available. When there was no real choice, and definitely no chemical preservatives or lab-created foods. These things are well documented in the research, and product placement is big business for a reason. I feel like this industry has kind of snuck up on us, the unsuspecting citizens of the new age. Not so long ago, we would have to make do with what was in the local shop, and not so long before that, we would have to make do with whatever the hunters of the community were able to kill and/or forage of a days hunting. If I were to hazard a guess, I would say that the following are what most of us think we value when it comes to food:
1. Convenience
2. Price
3. Taste
Alas, the powers that be have those three factors all tied up! Open a branch of <INSERT NAME OF MULTI NATIONAL FRANCHISE HERE> on every corner so that its convenient, mass produce so that its cheap to buy, and lace it with salt, sugar, or fat so that we keep on coming back. On the face of it, this seems like a great deal for all involved, but in reality, what we value (or what we think we value) is being dictated to us by enormous marketing campaigns, science, and manipulation. The bottom line is that very few huge mass producing companies care for the real quality of their product, or your health or the health of your family or community (as long as you don't drop dead in the actual shop). They care little for the welfare of the workers (evident by the wage received by any supermarket clerk, factory worker, or shop attendant). So what should we value when it comes to food? Well its not for me to say what anybody else should value, but for me there are things that need to be considered before we fall for the convenience trap.
Personally speaking, I want to know that the production of the food I eat did not cause harm to the wellbeing of another human being in its production or in terms of the producer of the food being given a raw deal by the sellers/ buyers of the produce. I would like to be sure that the food I am eating does not include ingredients or contaminants that are going to harm my health, or the health of anyone else that I happen to be sharing it with in the short term or the long term. I like to know that I am contributing to the development of a sustainable method of food production so that the generations to come can enjoy the benefits of real food. I want to know that the money I spend on food goes back into the development of the community or region that the money is spent in, and not into funding some rich executives foreign trips and luxury car. When it comes to eating meat, I like to know that the animal was well treated, well fed, and looked after before it ended up in our food chain. I also like convenience, taste, and value for money.
Do I eat an all-organic diet? No.
Do I have enough income to sustain a full diet rich in locally produced and artisan foods? Definitely not.
Do I judge anyone for not feeling the same as I do. Hell no.
Is it even possible to know that I am eating according to the values highlighted above? Probably not all the time, especially when shopping in supermarkets.
Do I try to stick to my food values as often as possible? Absolutely.
Do I spend a bit more on locally produced food when I can? Yes. I am fortunate enough to have a local Farmers Market nearby each Saturday.
Do I feel like I am contributing to the local community by supporting local producers? Yes indeed.
Do I think that locally grown food produced by a knowledgeable farmer is better for our long term health? 100%.
Just a few thoughts.

"We've been dicking around too long!"/
Look, I'm not going to reblog every new post about the ADAPT protest in Albany, NY. If you are reading this you can follow events as easily as I can on the Community First Choice In New York blog. But I just had to post this YouTube video of the protesters, who are escalating their occupation of the New York State Nurses Association.
The man who says, "We want them to move the Assembly now. We've been dicking around too long!" is Bruce Darling, Executive Director of the Center for Disability Rights in Rochester, and someone I knew when I was an ILC director in New York State. This brings back memories, though none quite like this!
By the way, Bruce was probably speaking off the cuff, but "We've been dicking around too long!" could be the new official slogan of the disability rights movement.

Is the Overwatch competitive scene dying?
In only the past 15 days, 3 fairly large Overwatch teams have decided to drop their competitive rosters. This follows the consistent theme of organisations hesitating to invest in Blizzard's popular shooter game, many of which did previously invest, wish to pull out. Throughout the year, orgs have been dropping out slowly, and fairly subtly, however this short burst of 3 teams pulling out in only 2 weeks is something of grave concern. It likely signals there may soon be a boycott of the competitive Overwatch scene until Blizzard addresses their issues, which multiple teams have brought up over the past couple of months in their departure statements.
Teams / the organisations sponsoring them, have been long complaining that Blizzard has failed to pay enough attention to their competitive scenes, especially Overwatch. They have stated that there is not enough funding, proper structure and an overall lack of interest and focus on Blizzard's part. While Blizzard early last year pleaded teams to invest in the competitive scene and assured them of a stable environment along with strong focus from their part, they failed to do so.
Recent teams leaving
Earliest of the 3 teams, Ninjas in Pyjamas announced late June that they would be renouncing their support of the Overwatch scene. The organisation mentioned that while the roster they had signed initially had very good potential, NiP stated that "the scene has failed to evolve" to be sustainable for investors, which they reiterated concerned a number of teams, not only theirs. This not only puts blame on Blizzard for their decision to discontinue investment, but is also somewhat passive aggressive due to the mention of potentially having more teams abandon the scene.
NiP: "Today we announce that we will be joining the growing list of organizations placing Overwatch as one of the titles to observe but not to be involved in, given the uncertainties of the scene."
Evil Geniuses recently announced that they would be parting ways with their Overwatch roster too. While they had publicly stated that the parting was due to the org and roster wanting to go their separate ways mutually, you have to think, is this really the reason? EG mentioned that they are still interested in the scene, but have yet to sign another competitive roster. It is fairly obvious that they do not wish to damage their relationship with Blizzard, while maintaining a position which does not result in financial loss, which is fairly common with teams in competitive Overwatch.
EG: "As a team, Evil Geniuses would like to stress that this is not the end of our interest in competitive Overwatch, and we will be looking on to how the scene continues to develop."
Team LCDC is the latest team to abandon the scene. While they did mention their poor result at the Overwatch contenders as being a factor for dropping the roster, LCDC directly blamed Blizzard for their decision in departing the scene. They mention that Blizzard's previous management of the scene is extremely poor and has done worse for the scene than good, an extremely harsh statement on LCDC's part.

Because of its long-standing commitment to developing a strong and diverse STEM workforce, Booz Allen Hamilton introduced STEM Girls for Social Good (SG4SG), a program that offers girls opportunities to learn STEM concepts while exploring real world social problems.
In summer 2016, nearly 50 middle and high school girls from Washington, DC, participated in the program, joining Booz Allen employees and the firm's summer interns to learn about food deserts. Using STEM disciplines, participants identified zip codes that contain food deserts—areas where access to affordable, healthy food options is limited or nonexistent. The students also explored viable options to combat food deserts on a macro scale, and help those who live in them gain access to healthier options.
"With #SG4SG, @BoozAllen #mentors build a diverse pipeline of #STEM talent: http://bit.ly/2dgHd3E"

Are you sick of London & Paris? Because I almost am. I really am thankful that I took the time to memorialize the trip since my memory seems to get worse with every day that passes. Hopefully this series will actually help a few of you plan a trip one day. But I NEED to craft. And cook. But mostly craft. And probably do laundry. So bring on November!
I'm throwing out a bunch of random tips from our travels today. Consider yourself warned that we're probably going to jump around more than kids in a bounce house. And to be sure it won't be nearly as amusing.
1) Premium Plan Seats. We flew Delta and paid for Economy Comfort seats on the way there & had hoped to upgrade on the way back, but the flight we were on was full. So our regular fare seat was a bit cramped. And until you are married to a six foot five man, you don't know how uncomfortable flying can be (for him), especially when you are folded like origami into a tiny seat for a miniscule period like 10 hours. As background, we typically skip paying for exit rows & try to upgrade free last minute at the gate. Most of the time it works. But I wouldn't recommend that for a overseas flight. WIth Delta, the economy comfort seats have a bit more legroom and recline a bit more. But don't be expecting first class. The jackpot is if you can get a bulkhead seat in the economy comfort section. I kept my legs stretched out like I was reclining on Waikiki. And not actually watching Pride & Prejudice, Aladdin, & Notting Hill above Iceland. It was an $89 extra fee and worth it for us. Take your own travel comfort quotient into account. To each their own! The worst part wasn't paying the extra money, but sitting close enough to watch the first class folks sleep laying flat and eat off china. No jealousy here. Or maybe just a tad bit.
2) Take your own headset or earbuds. I'd say earbuds are the better space-saving option, but then again I'm not exactly the Beats by Dre type. Not only were they necessary on the plane, but if you use audio guides at museums and the like, trust me, you'd rather use yours than the community pair. We chose not to pay the small fee most places, but we did use the guides at Buckingham Palace & Versailles & I was so glad I had kept ours in my purse.
3) Forget how to count when you get on an elevator. This holds true in both England & France. The floor you walk in on? Level zero. The floor above it? Level one. The floor below? Negative one. I kid you not. File this under things you aren't prepared to interpret. And expect the button to flush the toilet to be at eye level. Hopefully this will save you from freaking out over having to leave a stall unflushed because you can't figure out toilet technology. Not that I experienced that. And while we are on the topic of bathrooms, in London, don't expect public restrooms. Go before you leave a museum or other site, otherwise expect to pay for a public restroom. No thanks.
4) Money. We debated the good & bad about getting money before we left home, using our credit cards, using ATMs, etc. And there is probably no right answer - it depends on fees with your bank and credit cards, as well as how far in advance you plan. Numerous friends (& my travel BFF Rick Steve) recommended using ATMs in the airport or train station upon entering each country. So we arrived in London with a few American dollars, which was scary, but worked out just fine. Be sure to call your bank and card companies before you leave or they might get rejected overseas. The fee from our bank for withdrawals was going to end up being the cheapest way than paying the fee per transaction on our credit cards. Do your research. Just keep in mind, if you plan far enough in advance, you can request a chip card from your credit card company. Most places can use a swipe card with this machine , especially if you stick to the touristy areas. You'll see locals insert their card in the bottom & enter a pin. Waiters bring it to the table - cool right?
If you go off the beaten path, you may have more trouble. But honestly, we operated cash only and kept it split between us. And I watched my cross-body purse like a hawk. And I put Andy's wallet in my purse when we ended up on the subway or other crowded areas. Better safe than sorry. I know pickpockets need to make a living & all, it just won't be on me.
I used some of those handy ziploc bags I brought from home to keep my pounds and euros separate in my purse. Since they come in intervals up to around 5 dollars as a coin, you will get more coins that you will bills when you pay cash. Those bags saved my sanity.
5) Subway. Find a map that works for you. I'd recommend coming with one from a guidebook or print one off because you'll need to use transportation before you get to your concierge desk. Sounds obvious, but trust me, you'll be glad you have it in the hustle & bustle of arriving. In London, there is a really useful map, sponsored by some British bank, at the ticket counter when you are headed to the Tube station at Heathrow. In Paris, I had one from Rick Steve's guidebook that I really liked & used the whole trip.
In London, you will want to buy an Oystercard if you are going to be there for any length of time. It provides cheaper fares and you can top it up at any time. There is a deposit for the card that you can get reimbursed at the end of your trip. Unless you are frantically running behind for your Eurostar train, in which case you come home with a $2 souvenir. Try to pay cash for your card if you plan to get a refund, as they will reimburse you the way you paid, and the credit card refund could get tricky. Keep your card handy on every trip, as you will need to tap out at the turnstiles when exiting.
In Paris, you should buy a Carnet, which is a book of 10 tickets that can be used to and from anywhere in the city-center. Wherever you might want to go in the central part of Paris will be covered. Be sure you keep your ticket handy, as you'll need to pass it through the turnstile to get out. Don't forget that a trip to Versailles, Disney, or farther parts out will require a higher priced ticket and your Carnet ticket won't be enough to get you there. The ticket machines in Paris do have an 'English' button, so rejoice for easy communication! Do keep your used & unused tickets separate. It's really hard to tell what you've used already and the last thing you want to do is get stuck without a ticket!
6) Double decker buses. You can use the Oystercard on bus transportation in London, and I'd recommend doing it at least once. Honestly, I've already forgotten most of the details of the bus routes, as it is a bit more complicated since numerous buses serve the same stops and go to totally opposite ends of the city. And some only run during the day. But it's completely do-able….I mean we figured it out, so anyone can. The best part of is that you can actually see stuff during the ride if you are going far enough. If it's only a few stops, its not worth it to climb the stairs. Pearl of wisdom: During the morning & evening commute the buses are CROWDED. But then again so are the trains. Pick your poison. If the bus isn't too crowded, be prepared to use the pull string to notify the driver to stop at the next stop. Or you'll miss your destination. Rider beware.
7) Fun city maps. I am a huge fan of the MapEasy brand maps. No I'm not being paid to say it but I buy one for every new major city I visit, and London & Paris were no exception. London was the first one I didn't love since it didn't include all of the city. For example, our hotel on the Left Bank near Waterloo station wasn't covered on the map, which made it less than helpful. But NYC, DC, Philadelphia, Boston, Paris? Those I give you a full two thumbs up for. They show not just subway info and roads, but also restaurants, sites, and shopping. Let me emphasize the shopping. It may have revolutionized my trips to NYC with an efficiency you can't even imagine. Hello 5th Avenue (window shopping that is)! Plus they are waterproof and fold up super easy - I've used my NYC map six times and it's still holding up strong despite the abuse it gets from my purse.
Tomorrow's post will likely be short & sweet - a celebration to a writing milestone. And I'm ready to celebrate.

The tweet from the entertainment subscription services reads: "#SarahPalinFilms "Iron Sky" http://nflx.it/11AZvLR"
Netflix also included a photo in the tweet that features the main characters in the film, including a bespectacled female actress dressed in a red suit that resembles Palin.
In the picture, the actress is holding a firearm and wearing a hairstyle similar to one Palin wore during the 2008 presidential election.

In response to a tweet from a user that called the film "hugely entertaining," the company's U.S. Twitter account responded: "Yes it is!"
The company's tweets have sparked anger from conservative Twitter users and bloggers, who have threatened to unsubscribe from Netflix and join another entertainment streaming service, or reject signing up for a Netflix account altogether.
Twitter user @TexasLighthouse tweeted at the Netflix U.S. account: "You don't want to anger your conservative base, who I'd wager are the majority of your customers. Tread carefully. #tcot."
Another user, @patrioticDAR, writes: "Dear @netflix, Based on the crude movie recommendation you made on twitter under #SarahPalinFlims we are canceling [sic] our subscription."
Netflix declined to respond to a request for comment. The controversial tweets published by Netflix were first reported by Twitchy.com, a Twitter curation website founded by conservative blogger Michelle Malkin.
The film "Iron Sky" is a sci-fi spoof about a group of Nazis that escaped to the moon in 1945 "where they hide out and plan to return to power in 2018," according to a summary posted on online movie database IMDb.com.
Several of the movie's reviews on IMDb say the U.S. president in the film is a parody of Palin.
Netflix has run into trouble on social media before.
The Securities and Exchange Commission had previously opened an investigation into whether Netflix CEO Reed Hastings violated securities rules by using his personal Facebook account to announce that the company streamed 1 billion hours of entertainment content in June.
However, that data had not been reported to shareholders in a press release or the company's financial disclosure forms.

Is it possible to keeps your thoughts private when you post them on the web? I just discovered it last week when I found Penzy.
It is an online diary that allows you to have own personal journal. The main line says "Write in Private", so unlike blogging your entries are private by default. It seems like a real contradiction to me, since you put something on the WorldWideWEb, it can be seen by millions of people around the world.
Anyway, Internet keeps bringing new set of tools for us, anyone can become not just a consumer of information, but a publisher, producer and a broadcaster.
There are different ways that online readers are accessing information through digital channels. In my case, Blogs, Twitter and Facebook.

Good morning.
Here's what you need to know:
• South Korea is working to redress the damage done by North Korean hackers, who stole war plans drawn up with the help of the U.S., as well as a vast cache of other data, from the South Korean military's computer network last year.
One of the stolen items was a "decapitation" plan to topple the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, should war break out, according to the South Korean lawmaker who disclosed the hack.
Meanwhile, the U.N. Security Council blacklisted four ships from ports globally for carrying coal from North Korea.
• Automakers and aircraft companies around the world are trying determine if they used substandard materials from Kobe Steel of Japan, and if so, whether they present safety hazards.
Shares in the company, a pillar of the Japanese economy, plunged more than 20 percent after officials, above, admitted that data about the quality of its aluminum and copper had been falsified, the latest scandal to dent Japan's reputation for precision manufacturing.
And a Japanese court ordered the government and the Tepco utility to pay damages of roughly $4.4 million to about 2,900 residents for failing to prevent the nuclear meltdowns at Tepco's Fukushima complex in 2011.
• California's wine country is shrouded in smoke, as some 17 wildfires continue a destructive sweep that has already claimed more than a dozen lives and some 1,500 buildings, including wineries, homes and resorts.
About 20,000 people were forced to evacuate, some by foot.
Our correspondent visited one ravaged community in Santa Rosa where "everything was incinerated." Here's a look at the destruction in photos and maps.
• A balancing act in Barcelona: In a closely watched speech, Carles Puigdemont, the leader of Catalonia, made a carefully worded declaration of independence from Spain.
But he immediately suspended the declaration to allow for "dialogue" with the central government in Madrid.
• President Trump escalated his personal attacks on Senator Bob Corker, this time ridiculing the powerful Republican for his height with the derogatory nickname "Liddle Bob."
Mr. Trump also accused The Times of tricking Mr. Corker into saying the president was reckless and could stumble into a nuclear war. Here's the truth about that interview.
Mr. Trump met with Henry Kissinger, before a scheduled lunch with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, whose intelligence he appeared to question in a magazine interview.
• The accusations are piling up against the U.S. film producer Harvey Weinstein. Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie said he sexually harassed them years ago. Above, Ms. Paltrow, top left, and other actresses who have come forward.
"I was expected to keep the secret," Ms. Paltrow said, describing advances in a hotel room.
And in an Op-Ed, the actress and writer Lena Dunham reflected on the enabling silence of Hollywood's men.
• China has become the world's biggest supporter of electric cars, forcing automakers from Detroit to Yokohama and Seoul to Stuttgart to pick up the pace of transformation.
• Masayoshi Son, the head of Japanese conglomerate SoftBank, is on a mission: to use his $100 billion Vision Fund to acquire pieces of all the companies underpinning the global shifts that artificial intelligence will bring to transportation, food, work, medicine and finance.
• South Korean shipbuilders and related companies laid off more than 35,000 workers in the first half of the year amid a protracted industry slump.
• U.S. stocks were mixed. Here's a snapshot of global markets.
In the News
• Kim Jong-nam, the half brother of North Korea's leader, had about 1.4 times the lethal dosage of VX nerve agent on his face after he was attacked, according to testimony by a Malaysian government chemist. Above, one of the two women on trial. [Associated Press]
• Australia revealed that one of its national security contractors had lost a "significant amount of data" in a breach last year, but offered few other details. [The New York Times]
• President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkish officials would boycott the U.S. ambassador to Ankara, deepening a diplomatic dispute. [Agence France-Presse]
• In Japan, opposition leaders took shots at the policies of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as parliamentary election campaigning kicked off, and it became clear that Tokyo's popular governor, Yuriko Koike, would not run. [The Asahi Shimbun]
• The new Hong Kong executive, Carrie Lam, makes her first major policy speech today. She's keeping it short, to allow more time for questions. [EJ Insight]
• Tony Abbott "left the realm of the merely destructive and entered the realm of the loopy": A Labor Party official captured the gist of widespread criticism of the former prime minister for suggesting that climate change "could be beneficial." [The Guardian]
Smarter Living
Tips, both new and old, for a more fulfilling life.
• Interior decorating? Check your phone to see how that couch might look over … there. Or there.
• Recipe of the day: This iceberg wedge salad's bacon vinaigrette can also work on grilled asparagus.
• Tokyo spent $2 billion on an anti-flood system with cavernous underground cisterns, above, meant to defend against the extreme weather unleashed by climate change. "We're preparing for flooding beyond anything we've seen," said the system's head. "Until now, at least, we've been successful."
• North Korea's embassies in some 40 countries must fend for themselves — Pyongyang doesn't fund them. Enterprising diplomats's cash-raising schemes range from hosting parties in Bulgaria to selling beef out of a backdoor in Delhi.
• And the Boeing 747, known as the "Queen of the Skies," changed the history of aviation. In today's 360 video, a pilot discusses how he fell in love with the plane, which some airlines are retiring. His essay on the iconic plane is here.
Back Story
When Hinda Miller took up jogging in 1977, she found herself in a predicament — the run was great, but what about the bounce factor?
Her friend Lisa Lindahl was asking herself the same question. So they bought some bras, tore them apart, and went to work on figuring out the perfect support system.
Breasts don't just move up and down when a woman runs, they move in a figure eight. The idea for a tighter, more form-fitting garment was sparked after Ms. Lindahl's husband jokingly crisscrossed two jock straps across his chest.
The sports bra, or Jogbra as it was originally known, turns 40 this year.
Sports bras remained largely out of the public eye until the Women's World Cup in 1999. But after Brandi Chastain scored the decisive penalty kick to give the U.S. a win over China, she dropped to the grass in jubilation and whipped off her jersey, above, revealing her black sports bra.
Ms. Miller later described the indelible scene, in which her invention played a role: "I saw the exuberance of being right out there, confident and joyous and totally committed and not ashamed of your body, a body of strength and athleticism: 'This is me. Accept me for who I am.' "

Deepwater Horizon
Enrique Chediak, ASC, and his collaborators create a convincing conflagration for the ripped-from-the-headlines drama of Deepwater Horizon.
In 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded and went down in flames in the Gulf of Mexico. Eleven men died. Oil gushed for 87 days, destroying marine habitats and whole coastal economies in the worst oil spill ever. Eight months later, the New York Times published "Deepwater Horizon's Final Hours," an 8,500-word exposé that tracked the cascade of safety failures that followed the initial oil and methane blowout. Despite being state of the art, despite having one of the best trained crews in the industry, "every one of the Horizon's defenses failed," the article states. "In the end," it notes, "many lives were saved by simple acts of bravery."
This human element is at the heart of Deepwater Horizon, a feature based on that New York Times story. "It was important to feel what these people went through—the heat and the sense of hell," says director of photography Enrique Chediak. Encharged with lighting an infernal blaze so big it could consume a 32,588-ton oil rig, Chediak and his team came up with a novel solution: firelight by giant LED walls. [...] Continue reading below

Posted 15 April 2014 | By Alexander Gaffney, RAC,
If you're reading this article, chances are good you take something for granted every day: your ability to read. But even beyond that, the fact that you're reading Regulatory Focus means you're probably fluent in English and well-versed in medical terminology.
Many Americans, though, can't read, can't read or speak English, or can't read or speak English well enough to understand the medical terminology that is necessary to interpret the labels on medical products like drugs and medical devices.
Now FDA says it is making some changes geared toward making it easier for those who can neither speak nor read English to keep up with the agency's warnings and other outreach efforts.
"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) wants to ensure that all Americans, including those with a limited ability to communicate in English, get the facts on topics, including new information on medical products, important to their health," FDA wrote in a 15 April 2014 announcement on its website.
The announcement follows the January 2014 release of FDA's Language Access Plan (LAP), an outreach blueprint intended to help it reach the estimated 60 million Americans who speak a language other than English at home. FDA estimates that nine million of those 60 million don't speak English proficiently, and more than four million don't speak English at all.
"Research shows that language barriers contribute to disparities in health and health care, especially for children," FDA noted.
FDA said a key component of its current plan is translating its press releases into other languages, and especially Spanish. Other press releases are translated into other languages depending on the issue and the consumers thought to be most affected.
"Some issues affect many communities, large and small, and that means reaching people who speak lesser-known languages," FDA added. "For example, FDA's diabetes information for women is available in Bengali, Chamorro, Urdu, Cambodian, Samoan, Taglish, Thai and Tongan."
FDA said another key component of its plan involves leveraging social media accounts like Twitter, Pinterest and YouTube, on which it maintains Spanish language-focused accounts.
FDA also maintains a telenovela series called "Nunca Mas!" (Never Again) focused on medical product safety.
The agency said that the overall intent is to make sure its message is "easy to understand" and available to people regardless of how they access information or what language they speak.

Project-Based Lending
Investing in one-off projects can be a great opportunity to see a quicker return on investment and a faster rate of redeploying capital into new projects. It's also a wonderful opportunity to get involved in unique projects that benefit areas and communities, as these projects can involve anything from the development of land for new business ventures, or the rehabilitation of historic buildings.
These projects are shorter-term with defined timeframes, giving investors a faster way to see their investment come to completion, and turn around and re-invest in a new project.
It's easy to provide project-based lending due to their short time frames, specific project parameters, and low loan-to-value scenarios. These provide investors a faster way to see their investment come to fruition.
What kinds of projects have we funded?
- Collector car builds (some of which we have seen in the Barrett Jackson auction)
- Yacht renovations
- Residental property renovations
- Commercial property renovations
- Environmentally friendly demolition
- International shipping of high-value cargo
Because of its quicker return on investment, project-based lending allows investors to speedily collect profits and re-invest in a new project.
