Thanksgiving calls for counting blessings
Life Columnist
Sunday, November 18, 2018
Thanksgiving is upon us, and it's time for my annual list, both profound and trivial, of what I'm thankful for this year.
Let me begin by saying I realize I am blessed simply because I have enough to eat, a healthy family and a roof over my head. I truly believe I live in the greatest country in the world, where any time I don't like what's going on I am free to speak my piece. Having gotten the big stuff out of the way, here are a few other things I'm thankful for.
No more political pitches. I love the excitement of campaigns and was happy to see the enthusiasm for this year's midterm elections. But I'm relieved not to have to listen to any more negative political ads on television, and I'm thankful the robocalls for candidates have quit filling up my answering machine.
Retirement. A friend of mine once said, "Many things in life are overrated. Retirement isn't one of them." I'm thankful I reached the end of my teaching career with enough life left in me to enjoy interests and activities I didn't have time for when I worked. It's been nice to slow down and enjoy that second cup of coffee in the morning while planning what I want to do each day.
Escaping the full force of Hurricanes Florence and Michael. Others in our state weren't so fortunate, but Rocky Mount and the surrounding areas were spared severe flooding and wind damage. Though my daughter's new house in Charlotte was badly damaged by Hurricane Michael, she'd planned to renovate anyway. In her case, I'm thankful for homeowners' insurance.
The example of grandchildren. I'd decided to skip opening the door on Halloween night this year until my grandchildren wanted to trick or treat in my neighborhood. I bought candy, turned on the lights and enjoyed hordes of trick or treaters. My 7-year-old grandson liked handing out candy better than going door-to-door himself and took over for me the last half hour. I was thankful for his example that it is indeed more blessed to give than to receive.
The end of the college football season. It's been a tough year to be a fan of the East Carolina University Pirates. I'm thankful the last home football game has been played. I'd be even more thankful if someone at the university could figure out what to do to fix a once-proud program that's fallen on hard times.
The changing of the seasons. I'm thankful to live in an area of the country where we have four distinct seasons. I love each one. Right now, I'm enjoying brisker temperatures while watching the leaves change color. I'm looking forward to winter coats and boots and possibly snow. Having four seasons gives me the opportunity to vary wardrobes, activities and even food. It's now time for hearty soups and stews.
"Wouldn't it be fun to win the lottery?" my daughters have asked on more than one occasion. "We already have," I always reply as I count my many blessings.

Posted by -ryan- on May 13, 2003 at 17:13:22:
I have always thought that the place was really cramped, but I never really looked at it. The place is called Reptile Showcase, and I have just started noticing all that is wrong with the husbandry of the animals. Here's what I found yesterday while looking at pics, which kind of got me worried...
and all of the other reptiles that person owns that he got from other places are all in good health.
I think the guy that owns the store loves reptiles, but I think the problem is that he is still using practices from the 70's (mixing species a lot, using smaller caging). But, if you are going to keep reptiles, you have to stay with the times. It's not like owning a dog, where things have barely changed in many years. We are always finding out more about reptiles.
I guess I'll start going to some of the other places around here when I need things for Sidney, and if (when, I hope) I get another reptile, I'm not getting it from there.

ANAHEIM, Calif.—For 40 years, Yamaha Guitars has been a driving force in the music industry by pioneering manufacturing techniques and innovating revolutionary designs. Through innovations such as the APX acoustic/electrics, Drop 6 semi-baritone scale, the Silent Guitar, and RGXA2's A.I.R. technology, Yamaha Guitars has been able to sustain 40 years of continuously growing success. From Woodstock to Live 8, Yamaha Guitars have been there to help define generation after generation of music.
"Yamaha Guitars have paralleled music trends since 1966," says Tom Sumner, vice president and general manager, Yamaha Pro Audio & Combo Division. "Innovations that we created have helped shape the guitar industry as we know it."
In 1966, Yamaha began producing the first FG series acoustic guitars at Yamaha's custom shop in Hamamatsu, Japan. The legendary Yamaha FG line has been a staple in the music industry and has provided millions of musicians the inspiration to create music.
The 1970s saw the rise of Yamaha's electric guitars, most notably the SG guitars made famous by artists like Carlos Santana. "Of all the excellent – and generally unheralded – guitars built by Yamaha over the years, none has achieved quite the legendary status as the Yamaha SG-2000," wrote Vintage Guitar magazine.
Yamaha's prominence in the bass world came in the 1980s with the birth of the celebrated BB Series basses with their stellar endorsers such as Michael Anthony, Nathan East, Billy Sheehan, and Tony Kanal.
Yamaha established an artist/R&D facility in 1990 in the heart of the music industry in Hollywood, California: Yamaha Guitar Development. YGD not only modified and customized artists' guitars, but also created all-new models and prototypes that would later be produced for worldwide distribution. One particular YGD design that proved incredibly successful in the 90s through today is the Pacifica Series. The Pacifica brought to Yamaha artists like Michael Lee Firkins, Mike Stern, and Sheldon Reynolds.
The new millennium has already seen revolutionary technology found in the Silent Guitar and the RGXA2's A.I.R. construction and original designs found in the AES Series.
In 2005, Hal Leonard published a comprehensive book entitled The History of Yamaha Guitars, by Mark Kasulen and Matt Blackett, which chronicles the company's distinguished guitar-making traditions.
"This is definitely a momentous occasion, but it's only the beginning," said Bryan Savage, Yamaha Guitars marketing manager. "I'm excited to see where the next 40 years will take us."

Typical summer produce such as cucurbits, tomatoes, and squash have been in full abundance in the past few weeks.
Leading to buying a lot of cucumbers, tomatoes, and summer squashes. Looking for inspiration to use all these buys, I turned to the New Greenmarket Cookbook by Gabrielle Langholtz, Editor of Edible Manhattan and Edible Brooklyn. The book is a collection of recipes involving local, seasonal, market-fresh produce and developed by Chefs committed to using those produce, and culinary and food movement leading figures such as Michael Pollan. The book is a gem, not only because of the gorgeous pictures and enticing eats, but because of the additional information it contains, namely Gabrielle Langholtz's introduction to the history and rise of the Greenmarket program, its ties to and importance for the community, and the features on local farmers and producers.
Returning from a local Farmers Market run with lemon cucumbers, and fresh herbs, I started by making the Cucumber Soup, contributed by Kenneth Wiss from Diner and Marlow & Sons. It was very simple to make: chop veggies, de-seed as needed, add herbs, oil and seasonings, blend.
Though, in full disclosure, I had forgotten to put the lime juice, the herbs made the soup very fragrant and pleasant on a summer eve, perfect for a non-fuss but nice week-end dinner.
My next foray into the book's summer recipes followed from the purchase of two really large beefsteak heirloom tomatoes at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. Gorgeous looking, they seemed to fit the bill for Food52.com co-founder Amanda Hesser's Brown Butter Tomatoes.
Brown butter, with good quality (preferably organic on my end) butter, is always a memorable experience. I had never tried using it with fresh tomatoes so I was intrigued but it worked beautifully!
Again, a very easy recipe: slice tomatoes, make brown butter, pour over tomato, season with nice salt and pepper. Finish with market fresh berries for good measure. Done. This was a great simple mid-week dinner eat.
Last but not least, I had two bags of squashes from the same run at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, including tender zephyr squashes and sweet small zucchinis, and had fresh radishes too. So I set out to make the Raw Squash Salad, a recipe by Seamus Mullen from Tertulia, for a light end of week lunch. As I wanted a fast prep in the morning, I used my blender to slice the vegetables and quickly whipped the lemon vinaigrette, for which I used some orange blossom honey from that Farmers Market's run too. I decided to skip the cheese listed in the recipe, and add a few fragrant edible flowers to complement the salad. It was absolute love at first bite. The utter highlight of this recipe: the vinaigrette, which combined so perfectly with the veggies. I only regretted to not have made enough for 3 servings.
So those Summer on a plate moments will keep me coming back to the book for more inspiration as the seasons unfold. :)
By the way:
- Union-Square Market, where I got my copy, and Greenmarkets around the city sell the book, but for non NYC-dwellers, the book is available online.
- While this is a book about NYC markets, it will inspire (home) cooks all around as all products will be available in local markets.
- All these eats are gluten-free, are or can be made low in FODMAP, and will please veggielovers, vegetarians, vegans (for the first and last salads), Meatless Monday eaters, paleo and healthy eaters alike.

WM becomes first housing association to achieve highest rating for health and safety
WM Housing Group secures a prestigious Diamond Award from RoSPA in a recent audit.
We have achieved the highest possible health and safety score in a recent audit making us the only housing association to have achieved this.
We received the Level 5 Diamond Award with a health and safety performance rating of 95% in a recent Quality Safety Audit by The Royal Social for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).
The audit is a unique system developed to provide a complete and comprehensive health and safety management audit.
The six-day audit examined the effectiveness and quality of our health and safety management systems, policies and procedures, as well as knowledge, understanding, implementation and evidence.
It means:
- We are the first and only housing association to achieve the Level 5 Diamond Award
- We are one of only a handful of organisations to achieve the Level 5 Diamond Award in their first attempt
- To achieve Level 5, organisations need to score at least 80% in each of the 11 criteria. We scored an impressive 90% and above in all the 11 criteria
- The small number of organisations that have achieved Level 5 usually take 6-8 years to do this. We achieved Level 5 status in six months, following on from our initial internal audits in June last year.
Our Chief Executive, Kevin Rodgers, says: "This is a fantastic achievement and to be the first housing association to achieve it is brilliant. Well done to everyone involved, it has been a huge team effort.
"It's extremely difficult to achieve this award at this level so I can't thank everyone enough for their hard work and dedication over the last six months.
"The most positive aspect for me is that this isn't just an audit of our policies and procedures – it also includes our culture and working practices.
"A huge amount of effort has gone into improving health and safety across the Group and it's brilliant to see it paying off. To receive expert and independent validation of our approach to health and safety and our ethos is fantastic."
This award follows a huge increase in health and safety compliance across the Group over the last six months.
Our average health and safety score is now an impressive 94%, compared to 65% in June last year, with an average improvement score of 29%.

Mulching garden beds with organic mulches and compost will help stabilize soil temperatures and moisture. It will do a bunch of other things for your garden, but we're focusing on worms here.
Mulches made from grass cuttings or leaves have twice the earthworm population than course mulches from straw or cornstalks.Mulches made from wood wastes that have lots of small particles, like sawdust, are easier for worms to swallow and eat.Unfinished compost is one of the best worm food mulches around.
Also Read about Best Grow Tent Review
Earthworms go inactive when it gets cold and move below the frost line. Frost can kill earthworms in less than 2 minutes. Mulching provides insulation. Watch the forecasts in winter months and use row covers or frost cloth over garden beds if a hard freeze comes your way for your plants as well as your earthworm population.
In the spring and fall, when temperatures are moderate and rainfall is plentiful, earthworms reach the peak of their activity. They mate and lay eggs. Many eggs hatch and the young worms grow and mature.
Earthworm activity diminishes as temperatures rise during the hot days of summer. If organic matter in the soil is not plentiful and the soil dries out, many earthworms will die. A good layer of mulch will regulate soil temperatures and retain moisture.
Some species of earthworms can live for up to 10 years if living conditions are favorable. Birds and moles will keep population explosions in check.
Be Careful with Synthetic Chemicals
Chemical based fertilizers will adversely affect earthworm populations. Organic fertilizers have a positive effect on earthworms and will increase population densities.
Pesticides may not kill earthworms directly, but could kill birds that keep earthworm populations in balance. Beware of fungicides as well.
Use mechanical and physical controls to control pests and diseases as your first line of defense. If you must use pesticides or fungicides, choose less toxic, narrow spectrum sprays.
Introducing Worms into Your Houston Garden
Sometimes called manure worms, brandling worms, or red wrigglers; they are reddish brown in color. Redworms are surface feeders that multiply rapidly. Redworms assimilate nutrients to build their own bodies and die distributing their castings over a larger area. They do not do well in garden beds but are the worms of choice for Vermiculture (raising and feeding them in order to collect and use their castings in the garden).
A variety of soil processing and burrowing worms are generally referred to as Earthworms. These worms survive in harsh conditions better than Redworms but do not multiply as quickly. But they are workhorses and powerhouses in your garden.
Also known as dew worms, rain worms, or orchard worms, these garden worms like soil temperatures under 50 degrees. They dig burrows but come to the surface to feed on organic matter, then take it deep into the soil.

European, African and Canadian Earthworms are often called Nighcrawlers and sold as fish bait. If you're interested in adding Earthworms to your garden, click on the preceding link; a good local source (Conroe, TX) for both Redworms and Earthworms / Nightcrawlers.

Computer scientists (particularly a gentleman named E. F. Codd in the 1970s) have studied potential data problems and defined techniques for organizing data. This scheme is called data normalization. In this chapter, you discover why single-table databases rarely work for real-world data and how to create a well-defined data structure according to basic normalization rules.

Lexi Eikelboom is a Research Fellow in the Institute for Religion and Critical Inquiry. She completed a doctorate in Theology (Modern Doctrine) at the University of Oxford in 2016. Before coming to ACU, she taught theology and interdisciplinary humanities at the John Wesley Honors College. Eikelboom's research marshals perspectives from phenomenology, social theory, the arts and aesthetics, and liturgical and ritual studies to communicate the religious and theological significance of rhythm as a fundamental feature of human existence. She has published articles and chapters in The Heythrop Journal, Studies in Christian Ethics, and the collection Game Over, Good or Bad News? Eschatology in Question with de Gruyter.
Her first book, Rhythm: A Theological Category traces the ways in which philosophers and theologians as diverse as Erich Przywara and Giorgio Agamben have drawn on rhythm to describe reality and argues that, as a theoretical category capable of expressing metaphysical commitments yet shaped by the cultural rhythms in which those expressing such commitments are embedded, rhythm is the form according to which culture and embodied experience influence doctrine.

Is there a right way – and a wrong way – to go about growing a business?
There has to be, because some companies try to grow and fail.
I believe there is one thing that is common to all companies which grow successfully.
But businesses have to grow and succeed in a complex world where multiple, sometimes conflicting, factors are constantly at work.
One question we're asked often is, should a business owner focus on growing the core business or expand into other areas?
The answer isn't simply yes or no. It's "it depends on how you do it".
Be sure you know what has made you successful
Before looking for new areas to expand into, it's essential to really understand precisely what has made the business successful.
We see business owners assume they know why their company is doing well all the time. But the wise ones look for verification of their own thinking before plunging ahead.
They get input from customers, suppliers and even peers, whose perceptions are invaluable. Those groups add a perspective which people inside the company simply cannot have.
Then the owners set aside time to think through what they've learned, discussing it thoroughly with their management teams and advisors.
Once they know what has given them their competitive edge, their core competencies in consultant speak, they can look for opportunities while greatly reducing the risk of making a mistake.
For example, if you're great at customer service and being a high-quality producer, don't try to become a low-cost value player.
Then use that to evaluate new opportunities
Opportunities can be evaluated by looking at their attractiveness and the probability a company can be successful. (Download our free guide here.)
A key factor in the probability of success is whether or not a company's core competencies not only match the key requirements for success – but also exceed the strengths of its competitors. Clearly, opportunities that aren't consistent with a business' core competencies are too much of a stretch for it to be successful.
That's when the business owner must be ruthless and just say no.
Otherwise those "opportunities" will become black holes of time, effort, and money and the company will likely fail.
Focus on the core and expand – but with care
We know that all products and services have a life cycle. So it's important for a business owner not to rest on his or her laurels.
It's important to strengthen, grow, and defend the core business by developing new products and services.
But it's also important not to miss out on potentially great new growth opportunities.
Do it by understanding what you're good at – and building on that.

MASON, OH – Mars Hill Academy donated 730 pairs of new and used shoes for the Shoes for H.O.P.E. project sponsored by Missions in Motion, a local missions group headquartered in Hamilton. Missions in Motion has collected over 25,000 pairs of shoes since launching the program in 2013. Shoes are redistributed through microenterprise partners and used in developing nations for impoverished people to start, maintain and grow an enterprise to feed, clothe and house their families.
"We are thrilled with the response of our school family to our first shoe drive," said Mars Hill Academy Headmaster Dr. James Albritton. "It was eye-opening for our students to learn that a pair of shoes can actually save a life. We were glad to find an organization who is working to put old shoes to a good use."
Photo: Mars Hill Academy's Headmaster Dr. James Albritton, with Mr. and Mrs. Dan Shupe, founders of Missions in Motion ministries, get ready to pack up thirty bags full of new and used shoes collected by the school to benefit overseas missions.

A.M. Sacramento: Here's what you need to know for Sunday
Good morning. Here's what you need to know today:
Still winter?: Unseasonably warm temperatures will continue in Sacramento. Downtown is expected to hit 74 degrees today, according to the National Weather Service. NWS forecaster Tom Dang said temperatures are about 10 degrees above normal for this time of year.
Spring forward: Did you remember to reset your clocks? Daylight saving time began at 2 a.m. today, so adjust car clocks, watch hands and even water sprinkler timers. It is time to spring forward as most states set their clocks one hour ahead of the standard time to make better use of daylight and conserving energy. In Sacramento, today also is the start of the spring/summer watering rules, which will allow residents to increase to two the number of days per week they may water lawns, depending on their address. Residents should adjust water sprinkler timers as needed to remain in compliance with city rules.
Growing city: Folsom will begin its long-planned march across Highway 50 this summer, a move that eventually could bring 10,000 new homes to an expanse of rolling hills now dotted mainly with oak trees.
Fees to aid programs: Sacramento County leaders want to increase fees on marriage, birth and death documents to fund domestic violence programs, pointing to more than 21,000 crisis calls made each year to three local shelter programs.
Development stalls: Roseville's latest effort to land a large hotel and conference center has ended after a South African investor declined to finance the deal and asked the city to bear the upfront risk.
Sac State falls: A last-second shot by Mikh McKinney bounced off the rim, leaving Sacramento State empty-handed Saturday in its pursuit of the men's basketball program's first Big Sky Conference championship.
▪ Bee columnist Marcos Breton: The biggest game in the history of Sacramento State basketball was also the most heartbreaking.
▪ Bee gallery: Hornets edged 70-68
Local sports today: Spring Training baseball – San Francisco Giants (split squad) at Arizona Diamondbacks (split squad), 1:05 p.m; Diamondbacks (split squad) at Giants (split squad), 1:10 p.m.
Chicago White Sox at Oakland Athletics, 1:05 p.m. (CSNCA)
College baseball – UC Santa Barbara at Sacramento State, noon.
UC Davis at Seattle, 1 p.m.
College softball – UC Davis vs. UCLA in Los Angeles (tournament), 12:30 p.m.
NBA – Los Angeles Clippers vs. Golden State Warriors, 12:30 p.m. (Channel 10, ESPN 1320)

Simple Harmonic Motion: Springs, Circuits, and Pendulums
Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is a type of oscillation in which the acceleration of the moving object is proportional to its displacement from a neutral position. It is the type of motion that is exhibited by a mass oscillating on a spring. Simple harmonic motion also appears in many other physical systems, such as swinging pendulums or electrical circuits.
Simple Harmonic Oscillator
The typical example of a simple harmonic oscillator is a system in which a mass is attached to one end of a spring, and the other end of the spring is fixed.
When the mass is pulled until it is a distance x from its original position, the spring stretches and a tension force acts on the mass. This force is:
F = -kx
where k is the spring constant and x is the size of the displacement. The minus sign is present because the force acts in the opposite direction to the displacement.
When the mass is released from a displacement x0, this force causes the mass to accelerate back towards its original position, according to the Newton's formula F = ma (force is mass times acceleration). However, because the mass continues to accelerate as it approaches its original neutral position, it overshoots its original position and the spring goes into compression. The compressed spring then exerts a force that decelerates the mass. The mass slows to a stop at a displacement of -x0, and the force acts to accelerate the mass back towards its original position. The mass continues to oscillate between positions x0 and -x0.
By equating the two expressions for F and writing the acceleration as
a = m d2x/dt2, we can write down a second-order differential equation which describes the motion:
d2x/dt2 = -(k/m)x
The solution to this equation is:
x = x0 cos(ωt), where ω=√(k/m) is the frequency of the oscillation and x0 is the initial displacement.
Each full oscillation takes 2π/ω seconds to complete.
Damped Simple Harmonic Motion
In the absence of friction, the mass on the spring would continue oscillating in this way for all eternity. However, in reality, energy is lost through frictional forces and the oscillation gradually decreases in amplitude until finally it stops altogether. This is known as damped simple harmonic motion:
Examples of Simple Harmonic Motion
The motion of a swinging pendulum, for example in a grandfather clock, is approximately simple harmonic motion. The approximation holds providing the amplitude of the pendulum's swing is small.
The flow of current in an electrical circuit containing a resistor, an inductor and a capacitor (an RLC circuit) is another example of simple harmonic motion. In this case, the voltage across the plates of the capacitor drives current to flow through the circuit. As the current flows through the inductor, a magnetic field builds up around it which keeps the current flowing even when the voltage across the capacitor has reduced to zero. The flow of current gradually builds up a voltage in the opposite direction across the capacitor plates. This voltage decelerates the flow of current and eventually reverses its direction. The current oscillates backwards and forwards, continually changing direction, just like the mass on the spring. Adding a resistor to the circuit introduces damping which eventually causes the oscillations to die away to nothing. These circuits are used in the tuning mechanisms of analogue radios.

The addition of the video is a great idea and adds to the clarity of this piece. Perfectly chosen. Thank you.
This is a simple and very easy to follow treatment of a very important subject and which I consider central to the science of everything. Everything in the universe is a vibration and existence can be described as the interaction between vibrations.
I think this is the makings of a particularly helpful series of hubs for students to study the basics of Physics. Thank you. I am looking forward to the hub on Damped Simple Harmonic Motion.

MATHEWS KABAMBA – Lusaka
SOME stakeholders have lauded Government for suspending the issuance of licences for importation of edible oils, saying it will promote crop diversification and encourage local investment in edible oils production.
Last week, Minister of Agriculture and Livestock Given Lubinda announced an indefinite suspension on the importation of edible oils to allow Government to study the impact the importation of vegetable oil has on the Zambian market.
Both, Zambia Consumers Association (ZACA) and the National Union for Small-scale Farmers of Zambia (NUSFAZ) said in separate interviews on Saturday that the decision will have long-term benefits for the manufacturing and agriculture sectors.
NUSFAZ director of outreach and research Emack Kaoma said the decision to halt the importation of edible oils will go a long way in enhancing crop diversification in the country.
Mr Kaoma said crop diversification is an important component to grow a viable agriculture sector.
"…Moves aimed at enhancing diversification are welcome. It is a step in the right direction if we are to make any positive strides in enhancing crop divarication.
"We foresee an increased demand for inputs like sunflower, soya beans and groundnuts by edible oil manufacturers. To meet this high demand, farmers will have no option but to diversify to growing these crops,†he said.
ZACA executive secretary Samuel Simutunda said the move will attract local investment in the edible oil manufacturing industry and in turn create employment for many people.
Mr Simutunda said imported edible oils on the market discouraged the participation of local investors in the industry because the products were often of low price.
"Local investors feared investing in the production of edible oils because the market was flooded with imported products going at a cheap price. Investing in such would translate into losses for them as the cost of production is currently high.
"We expect more local investment now that Government has introduced a ban on the importation of edible oils. The demand of these products is high in Zambia, so sales are guaranteed,†Mr Simutunda said.
Stakeholders hail State for halting edible oil imports

The Diamond Jubilee
It is a pleasure to be able to write this week about a non-political event - The Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. And what a fantastic long weekend it has been.
I was lucky enough to watch the river pageant overlooking the Thames. Both the flotilla itself and the enthusiasm of the crowds were an inspiring sight. As I walked down the Embankment early in the morning, cars were hooting their approval of a man dressed in a union flag suit. It was wonderful to be part an event which united people in an expression of unashamed patriotic pride.
The television pictures - particularly the appalling BBC coverage - didn't always relay the sense of the pageant's sheer scale. The flotilla took hours to pass my fixed point and the Guinness Book of Records quickly confirmed it as the largest boat parade in history.
I think we were all full of admiration for the resilience shown by Her Majesty and Prince Philip in standing for nearly five hours in such awful weather. But I hope they were fortified by the Nyetimber and Stopham wines that I was proud to hear were served on the royal barge - a perfect boost for English Wine Week.
It was very sad that Prince Philip was unwell for Monday's concert, and we all hope that he will be fully recovered soon. Many of the more elderly pop stars sang flat, and the jokes from so-called 'celebrities' in between were generally as unfunny as they were unnecessary. But it was still a great spectacle, capped by a moving speech from The Prince of Wales that perfectly reflected the national mood.
I also thought that President Obama's jubilee message was superb. It echoed the thoughts of our own nation: that The Queen has given sixty years of faultless, dedicated service to this country. It is no surprise that, at the age of 86 and still working, she is held with such respect and affection by the British people and indeed throughout the world.
Finally, I'd like to thank the police officers and PCSOs who helped to keep everyone safe for the celebrations. They showed the very best of British policing and allowed everyone to enjoy a very special event.

Dear Future Kacie,
I know what you're thinking – "Kacie, you are literally years behind with writing actual letters, and you decided to spend time writing a letter to YOU?!" – and you have a fair point. However, the content of this particular letter might actually relate to getting some overdue things done, such as writing & sending off letters to my pen pals. Whether or not it actually works, I dunno, you tell me 😉
As you obviously know, the majority of days in your life since you became unemployed, iy has been incredibly difficult to feel motivated enough to get anything productive done, from cleaning to taking the dog for walks to working out, etc. Even finding the energy to feed yourself has been incredibly difficult.
What I'm writing about isn't exactly going to solve any of these problems – currently I'm waiting for my appointment with the adult ADHD specialist to hopefully improve my overall motivation – but it might help you feel hopeful when you find yourself feeling completely useless because you can't summon enough energy to pry yourself off the couch or out of the recliner.
Flashback time: Remember when you were contacted by Ubisoft to do some playtesting in Toronto? You were so excited you had to keep yourself from fangirling out-loud after you hung up so that you wouldn't wake up grandma! It wasn't even something you'd be paid to do, but it was merely the opportunity that had you excited beyond belief.
Leading up to your playtesting date, of course you were excited – you even made arrangements to meet up with Blair for lunch, and as a back-up plan you planned out a self-guided bakery tour of St. Clair Street – but of course you were also nervous. Yes, there were your typical pre-travel nerves, which happen whether you're travelling alone or with company, but there was one primary thought that caused the most anxiety; you were afraid that when the time came to get up super early and head to the bus station, that you would be too anxious or have a panic attack and you wouldn't be able to go at all, and that you would retreat to the semi-safety of your grandmother's rec room and would never feel confident enough to plan a solo trip ever again.
But, let me ask you… Did that happen?
It did not! While you didn't get a ton of sleep the night before (and Rocket is mostly to blame for that), you were still able to get up in the morning without forgetting anything, wait in line at the terminal and ride the bus all the way to Toronto! Once you had the cab situation taken care of, there was very little to be afraid of or feel anxious about.
Maybe you're not entirely sure why I'm bring up this particular memory. Let me answer that question with another brief flashback, dating back to the day this letter was written: It's a typical Monday, you've returned home after spending the weekend at Kurt's, and after relaxing on the couch for a bit and watching YouTube videos, you suddenly get this surge of positivity seemingly from nowhere. It motivates you enough to bring your laptop to your computer desk and to make preparations to update your resume and to apply for a few promising job positions you came across on FlexJobs,com.
But like clockwork, the anxiety enters your mind – Is there any point to this? Isn't my anxiety going to kick in and get in the way of me ever working again, even if I'm working from home?
At this point, you suddenly remembered that trip to Toronto – where you felt so certain leading up to the trip that your anxiety would get the better of you and you wouldn't be able to make your playtesting dreams a reality. That memory ends up being enough for you to do exactly what you had set out to do: Installing Microsoft Word onto your laptop, updating your resume, and proceeding to apply online for a number of remote writing positions.
You see the moral of this letter yet? Tldr; there's always hope. There is always a reason to be positive and feel like, "Yes, I actually can do this!" And I wanted to write you this letter today to remind you of that easily forgettable fact.
I really hope this was helpful for you – Keep on smilin', and have an awesome day 😀
Lots of love,
You 🙂

With the appointment of Asiwaju Bisi Adegbuyi as Post-Master General/Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria Postal Services (NIPOST), the stage is set for the accelerated implementation of the set plans and programmes that will set NIPOST on winning ways.
Adegbuyi , who, this week, replaces Enoch Ogun, hitherto acting Post-Master General (PMG), is saddled with the responsibility of ensuring that the laid-out vision of the supervisory Ministry, the Ministry of Information, is achieved.
One of such initiatives is One Network, a managed multi- stakeholder collaborative effort between the federal Ministry of Communications and the Central bank of Nigeria, (CBN), which was planned to create the most important centers for access to financial and citizen services under the financial inclusion programme.
The project is expected to transform NIPOST to a modern postal service through digital financial services in all its post offices across the country. Federal government institutions are to leverage on the platform to spread their services to rural communities. The project will position the NIPOST to look into other areas of money generation that goes beyond its public sector competitors, and away from the traditional mail movement services.
Aside the One Network project, NIPOST has remained a platform for mail delivery to other courier operators due to its cheap services and wider network around the globe.
According to the Head of the CRD, Mr Simeon Emeje, all NIPOST needs to do to achieve its target of contributing to the GDP and being globally competitive, is to ensure that the laid out Policy and provisions of the Postal Bill are implemented. He noted that the Ministerial plans for NIPOST, and the postal sector as a whole, is impeccable, and will shoot the industry up, if well implemented.
This is the task of the new PMG. The future of the Nigerian Postal Service has been laid and applauded by industry stakeholders.
According to the Minister of Communications, Barr. Adebayo Shittu, the task to make NIPOST profitable is of paramount importance.

I've been 'moonlighting' on Bachtrack, taking some time to reflect on my recent trip to Verbier.
There's an element of reminiscence about the piece, I should confess. London teems with distractions the way Verbier insisted they were discarded at the bottom of the mountain. My return prompted me to wonder what strategies we need to employ to optimise our listening in the urban environment.
Read the article on Bachtrack.
Reviews, even more reflections and a podcast interview with the Verbier Festival Academy boss Christian Thompson is available here.

"Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me." Philippians 1:17-18
Leadership is a very challenging task. Although all leadership can be difficult, biblical leadership is particularly daunting. The Bible makes tremendous demands of leader, but godly leadership should produce a glad and joyful heart. The Apostle Paul provides a picture of this odd combination of being a sacrifice with great joy.
The Apostle Paul labored hard for the Lord Jesus Christ. He labored to present everyone mature in Christ (Col 1:28). He even defended all that he did for the Lord against false apostles in 2 Corinthians 11:23-30. He was shipwrecked, beaten, imprisoned and stoned. But even after all his hardships, he writes, "For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong." Biblical leadership counts it a joy and a privilege to suffer for the sake of Christ and His gospel.
Paul says to the church that even if he is being poured out for the sake of their faith, he is glad and rejoices. WOW!!! That is a heart of a leader. Paul realized that he was a slave to the Lord Jesus Christ to be used anyway the Lord deemed necessary. Paul is a leader who is confident in the Lord and His sovereign plan.
Paul not only has a glad and joyful heart, but he urges others to have that same heart. Beloved, do you serve the Lord with a glad and joyful heart even if you are being poured out as a sacrifice for the sake of others? Beloved, we are not our own, but have been bought with a price. The Lord chose to use Paul through imprisonments and beatings and yet he rejoiced. How is the Lord choosing to use you? Whether through blessing or hardship, let us say with the Apostle Paul: I am glad and rejoice!!!
In Christ,
Pastor Dave

UFC 200 is a historic pay-per-view (PPV) event set for T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sat., July 9, 2016.
Reigning UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor was originally scheduled to headline the event; however, a dispute over promotional responsibilities forced him off the card (more on that here).
In response, company officials recently announced that Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones will now attempt to fill the gaping "Notorious" void in "Sin City" this summer. Let's see how the rest of the UFC 200 card is shaping up in the embedded video above.
That's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, as UFC President Dana White told the mixed martial arts (MMA) media that he wasn't done adding big names to the UFC 200 line up. While a return from Georges St-Pierre seems unlikely, Nate Diaz is still loosely attached to the card (for now) and Holly Holm is sitting at home with nothing to do.

Today I launched the all-new Weddings by Robert website. There are still a few kinks to work out but I wanted to get it online to make sure what worked in testing and design worked live.
When you first get to the site you should see this...
This is the new portal that will take you to my new "broadband" site, the classic HTML site, better for slower connections or my Blog.
Known issues as of 7/11/07:
-The music is terrible. It's a placeholder until I get something else up. That will happen very soon.
-The music, once turned off does not come back on (probably a good thing).
-The contacts page is still a bit under construction. The links are still "place holders" for the most part. The bottom two "Sports Photography" and "Blog" link to my sports site and blog.
-The contact form seems not to work at the moment. I am addressing this and it should be up and running ASAP.
Please let me know if you have any other problems and I will make sure to get them fixed.

Accepting our limitations
Helen Keller said, "Life is a banquet and most of us are starving to death." Drinking and using sure kept us from seeing the beauty, the bounty in our lives. Since we recognized that we can't use or drink – and got clean and sober – most of us today can get higher than ever before on the important things like justice, peace, and love.
Those of us who seem successful in relationships have at some point learned to accept our shortcomings more than most.
Am I learning to accept my limitations?
Higher Power, help me accept myself today, with all my defects, knowing that in your time I will gradually change for the better.

I was wondering about Ezekiel 44:20, "They shall neither shave their heads nor let their hair grow long, but they shall keep their hair well trimmed." I was wondering: Was this a standard for the priests before this time or was this instituted later? I can't seem to find it for the priests before hand. But thought it was a interesting verse concerning short hair.
See: Should a Christian shave his head for a dead relative?
God forbade the priests from making a show of their grief because they represented God before the people (Leviticus 10:6; 21:1-15; Ezekiel 24:16-17). To show grief would be a form of rebellion against what God decided about the life of another.
