solar system trail, st kilda foreshore/
Feel like walking on the Sun? How about a trip to Mars?
Well - you are in luck!
Thanks to some talented artists and scientists - a model of our solar system, to a scale of one to one billion, has been created along a path from St Kilda Marina towards Port Melbourne.
The trail starts at the sun sculpture, near the white lighthouse in Marina Reserve. Follow the path further along to visit the eight planets, accurately scaled to size and distance. You can walk to the first five planets within twenty minutes. with the furthest planet, Pluto making the total trip around 90 minutes.
This a perfect adventure to take the kids on - combining education, exercise and enjoyment in one big bundle! Not to mention the incredibly picturesque surrounds of stunning St Kilda!
Mamma's special mention
Whist your journey will take you past a few pit stops for refreshment - why not end your adventure at the iconic (and delicious) Jerry's Milkbar?
the nitty gritty
Here is the way it works - every millimetre you walk is 1000 kilometres. Every centimetre you walk is 10,000 kilometres. Every metre you walk (one and a half steps) is 1,000,000 kilometres. When you walk 5.9 kilometres from the Sun (Marina Reserve) to Pluto (Port Melbourne), you have travelled 5.9 billion kilometres.

We did a trip there just recently. Well my FB posts tells me it's been near 4 years. We went in October 2013.
For this trip we stopped over in Hong Kong and caught the ferry to Macau and back and then on to South Korea.
Our itinerary was such. We flew into Seoul. Caught another flight to Jeju then from Jeju fly into Daegu and used Daegu as a base to do day trips. After Daegu we caught the bullet train back to spend the last few days in Seoul. As usual our trip was jinxed.
It was when the North and South had a little tiff. Wiser this time I took out travel insurance way prior to the trip only to find the fine print did not cover us for war.
Hubby tried calming me down saying they have tiffs all the time and well hopefully by the time we get there it's settled down.
Jeju was just beautiful. The thing was people didn't speak much English. For the two days there we hired a maxi taxi to get the most out of the island. It costed us $300AUD for the two days. For that amount of money we had a driver at our beck and call. He didn't speak much English at all or rather only hello and good bye.
It was frustrating but we managed in the end. I ended up using the concierge to translate for us. Our itinerary was then mapped on to their map in Korean.
We did heaps in Jeju with the help of the driver. He knew exactly where to go and what time to get there for the best experience. Times of shows etc. Thus we didn't follow my itinerary in order as such. Without him I doubt we would have got much done. Public transport is not great in Jeju and to hire a car well by the time you figure out where to go that's half a day gone.
You really need at least 3 days in Jeju to see all of the island. The third day can be spent trekking up the mountain. We had young ones and well it wasn't ideal or did we have time for it.
I'd booked a hotel near the airport with beachfront views. I figured it didn't matter where we were situated since we had a driver and since the hotel was cheap and we had an early morning flight to Daegu it worked out beautifully.
Jeju-Si and East of Jeju-Si
Yongduam rock is in Jeju-Si near airport
Samseonghyeol Shrine-Don't think we did this either.
1/ *Manjanggul cave 9-6pm need jacket and torch (near Jeju-Si)-It's just a cave and lava tube. Only one way in and out.
Haenyeo Museum (Sehwari) 9-6pm Haenyeo free divers-we didn't get to do this. There was no time.
2/ *Seongsan Ilchulbong ,watch sunrise (4am-7pm) ,20 mins walk need to spend night in Seongsan-ri need torch-we didn't get to watch the sunrise but we did get to go.
It was a long way up.
I had 3 breaks on the way up. Was very embarrassed to find a 70-80 years old man not even out of puff standing up there when I got there.
The views was worth it.
3/ *Seongeup Folk village (Pyoseon)
(Namoon is main gate if poles are down welcome to enter )
I wanted to go here for the kids so we learn a bit about the culture. It's very informative and we all loved it.
On the way to the village the driver insisted we stopped to look at the horses. Apparently they are of a particular breed here. They are little shorty ones. They are very sturdy.
WP don't like me today. Will upload more photos later.
The traditional houses have these flaps that open to air out the house and closes when it rains or windy.
4/Seopjikoji ??
5/ Samdal-ri:
Between Sinyang-ri and Pyoseon Beach
Young Gap Gallery Dumoak 930-6pm Thurs-Tues (Photographer)
This is well worth the trip. The gallery had awesome sculptures out the front. His pieces are just beautiful.
South of Jeju-Si:
*Seogwipo submarine:
Depth of 30 metres, 920am-4pm. Ask at tourist info. Cheonjiyeon Pokpo for discount coupon.
To go see the submarine you'd need a passport. It's a requirement which I thought was funny. It's expensive but worth it for the kids. The submarine went down and they had a diver to feed the fish so you can see schools of fish swimming.
*Water falls:
Cheongjiyeon Pokpo (near Jeongbang Pokpo)
The trail to the falls was quite picturesque. The falls itself was a major disappointment. It's because it's full of tourists. There was hardly any water at all.
Jeongbang Pokpo
Oedolgae 20m tall volcanic basalt pillar-a big rock
Jungmun resort:
Cheongjeyeon Pokpo (Jungmun resort) + Botanical garden-I think we missed this one.
Teddy Bear Museum-We did go to the teddy bear museum. It was great as the teddy bears were all dressed up.
Silk worms- we all had a try just for fun. Our taxi driver looked at us with amusement.
Jeju is famous for its black pig. We went to have black pig at this little place in a lane way. From the main streets you'd never know. It was yum. It's on a hot plate and you get all these side dishes with it. When you order rice a soup comes with it. It's a given thus no need to order soup. They wrap their BBQ meats in sesame leaves to have with their side dishes.
Rice wine to bring back to the hotel to get drunk some more.
Side dishes with the pork. We ordered 900g of pork for the 5 of us. Very disappointed with my camera skills. I blame it on the rice wines that we had.
In all we had fun. We even stumbled into the red lights district on the last night . The shops all had their doors wide opened. The neon flashed 18, 20 and whatever else. We only realised as people were looking at us funny.
Our little street map from the hotel wasn't of much use and instead of finding the market we got lost and ended up in the red light district instead.
The thing with Jeju is there's not much street lighting at night if you happen to wander away from the main roads. It's quite safe just dark. Pretty much need a torch with you to go wandering.
We could have done with another day in Jeju just to wander around. The island is lush and had beautiful sceneries wherever you look. I wouldn't mind going again just to eat black pig and go for a wander. Take it real slow rather than rush rush like we did.

Some days are just harder than others.
That's just the way it is. It has nothing to do with what came before or what is approaching. Some days the connections just don't get made. The pieces just don't fit. It's not for lack of trying and it's nobody's fault. The thing is to continue to push through those days, to keep trying to convince the pieces to fit.
You can't force it, but you can't ease up on it either. There has to be a balance, a give and take.
The real work is giving yourself the space and the permission to feel the hard days and begin to try to reason with them, and never take the easy days for granted.
the burden
self doubt replaced
it's liberating
when you crave affection
music and material
expect the audience to love
with applause comes clarity, wisdom
I was being brave, not caring that I lost

Review: Nokia Lumia 620 – Sitting In The MiddleJune 18, 2013
Review: Nokia Lumia 620
The Lumia 620 was announced alongside the high end Lumia 920 and Lumia 820. Back then it was Nokia's first budget Lumia running on Windows Phone 8. Numerically, Lumia 620 stands as a elder brother to Lumia 610 but with more than double the power.
Lumia 920 and 820 are for the upper market niche while Lumia 620 is for taking care of the buyers concerned about the budget. When Lumia 520 and Lumia 720 didn't even exist, Lumia 620 made a big punch in the budget segment. In India it received great response from budget buyers despite the lack of the features found in its bigger and better siblings. But since then situation has changed. Now there's an ultra cheap Lumia 520 and bigger Lumia 720, each with its own USP. In such situation Lumia 620 has in house pressure but that doesn't mean it's any short of skills.
Let's see what it has got up its sleeves.
Lumia 620 takes very neat and clean design approach. But since it comes from the Finnish manufacturers which is famous for its design, how would Lumia 620 miss that DNA? Nokia uses polycarbonate shells for Lumia 620 that embrace the device. The shells are pretty sturdy yet soft on palms. No sharp corners anywhere, mostly pebble feel. Nokia uses new technology for Lumia 620 shells called as 'Dual Shot'. In this type of shells, there are two layers of different colors are used. Both the colors remain distinguished but when you look at the handset you see different mix every time. Our unit had Cyan-White shell which wasn't that exciting but Nokia has some other cool colors for Lumia 620. There's even IP54 certified rugged shell for Lumia 620 available which gives it protection from water,dust and drops to some extent.
The Lumia 620 has 3.8" LCD display with WVGA resolution. Nokia as usual has used their ClearBlack technology which improves viewing angles as well as increases readability in direct sunlight. The WVGA resolution gives the pixel density of 246 ppi which is nice enough for this screen size and keeps images sharp; at least it's better than 4.3" displays on Lumia 720 and Lumia 820. Below the display you should find a usual set of Windows Phone buttons.
The chin of the device is a bit bigger but it lets you hold the device comfortably something that we missed on Lumia 820. Above the display, from left, is a VGA camera followed by proximity and an ambient light sensor while earpiece sits right in the middle.
On the right side,in top to bottom order, there is a volume rocker, a power cum lock/unlock key and lastly a shutter key.the left side which hosts nothing.
On the top there's a 3.5mm audio jack but this time Nokia has put it on the shell instead of main body. Advantage here from user's perspective is that if the audio jack goes bad, usually doesn't, he can just replace the shell and get it working again. There's a microUSB port and a mic on bottom.
The Lumia 620 has microSD slot for memory expansion and its hot-swappable. It also uses microSIM cards which is actually under the microSD slot but you need to remove the battery to access it. Nokia has attached a small strip to pull out the SIM tray.
The Lumia 620, as a budget phone, makes some trade offs. For starters, it comes with 1 GHz dual core Snapdragon S4 Krait core processor with 512 MB of RAM. Hardware isn't big concern yet because only a small number of apps don't run on this configuration including the recently released Temple Run game. But then there are games like Asphalt 7 Heat that still run very smoothly on this phone. The OS itself is very well optimized to run on this hardware. You might see some stuttering on homescreen and/or in menu list but nothing significant. We can tell you for sure that you won't get such performance on Android phones with same configuration in this price range. Also, Android and apps tends to hog more and more resources over the period of time thereby slowing down the entire OS. You won't face such things with Windows Phone for sure, at least our experience says so.
The only thing that Lumia 620 misses is the super sensitive touchscreen which allows you to use it with gloves on. Rather it's the only Lumia handset to not to have it whereas even cheaper Lumia 520 comes equipped with it.
The Lumia 620 has a 5 MP AF camera with LED flash. The camera isn't very spectacular. It manages to produce mediocre images. Do not expect it to replace your point and shoot camera. It's only good for casual photography. The images captured by Lumia 620 aren't rich on the details yet the color saturation was very good. Noise was under control too. The LED flash is strong enough and should give you good results indoor.
The video recording is restricted to 720p HD (30 fps). Videos retain average amount of details plus there's slight stuttering in videos and dropped frames as well.
The camera UI is simple and clean to use. There are few settings available to optimize picture quality but we'd have liked more settings like the ones HTC has on its Windows Phone handsets. Usability of the camera can be further increased by adding different lenses.
On this front, Nokia has made sure that you don't miss anything. To begin with, it offers good sound experience. It uses Dolby technology which increases your experience. It also comes with Nokia Music which integrates Nokia Mix Radio as well as Nokia Music Unlimited. The latter allows you to download unlimited songs from Nokia store. But the phone doesn't have FM Radio just like all other Windows Phone handsets. You can download and listen to podcasts.

Valuation Viewpoints: Why valuators need accounting know-how
Accounting and appraisal are interrelated disciplines. After all, financial statements are the foundation for valuing a business. So it's imperative that valuators understand accounting terminology and how to adjust for material differences in accounting methods.
Acceptable accounting methods
Private businesses use different methods of accounting depending on what works best for their financial circumstances. Take inventory as an example. A manufacturer might use the last-in, first-out (LIFO), first-in, first-out (FIFO), average cost, or specific identification method to report its inventory.
All are acceptable methods under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Some privately held companies, however, don't follow GAAP and may simplify accounting with cash or tax-basis reporting.
Importance of adjustments
Balance sheet and income statement items differ depending on the accounting methods used. Therefore, valuators need to adjust a subject company's financial statements – as well as market data obtained from public and private comparables – for differences in accounting methods.
Valuation professionals most frequently make adjustments in areas such as:
- Fixed-asset depreciation,
- Revenue and expense recognition timing,
- Bad debt write-offs,
- Treatment of intangibles,
- Differences in inventory reporting methods, and
- Contingent or unrecorded liabilities.
Valuators unfamiliar with accounting may not realize the importance of these adjustments. For example, a fictional novice valuator might use a pricing multiple of 1 times the prior year's revenues to value an accounting firm. The valuator obtains this multiple from sales of comparable private firms that had used the accrual method to report revenues.
But the subject company reports revenues using the cash-basis method, meaning it reports revenues only when it collects cash, not when services are rendered. Thus, the novice appraiser's use of the prior year's cash-basis revenues likely understates the company's current value if the firm is growing. If those revenues are adjusted to accrual basis, a growing company's appraised value probably will be higher. Thus, the valuator needs to determine industry accounting norms and then adjust the subject company's financial statements to match the methods the comparables used.
Apples to oranges comparisons
As the previous example shows, failure to adjust financial statements for differences in accounting methods results in apples to oranges comparisons — and potentially erroneous value conclusions. That's why it's critical for companies to engage professional valuators with a thorough understanding of accounting methodology.

Paleo Roasted Parsnips and Carrots2013-01-23
- Course: Side Dish, Snack
- Recipe Type: Easy Entertaining, Gluten Free, Lactose Free, Paleo, Vegetarian
- Ingredients: Apple Cider Vinegar, Carrots, Honey, Olive Oil, Parsnips
I had never cooked with parsnips before this recipe. They are paler in color than a carrot, but actually have a sweeter taste when you cook them. They pair so nicely with the tangy dressing in this recipe. To make it Paleo, I simply eliminated the apple cider from the dressing. To add a little sweetness back in, I used a little dried basil. The combination is delicious.
I bumped up the temperature from the original recipe because I found that the first time I made it, I had to cook the vegetables much longer and they were still undercooked. Cooking at 425 degrees is perfect. It is important to cook the carrots and parsnips in at least half of the dressing. The moisture helps steam the vegetables as they roast. The liquid should fully evaporate by the end of the cooking process. I reserved half the liquid because I didn't want them to get soggy. By reducing the extra dressing slightly on the stove, you can then drizzle it on to the veggies when you serve them if you'd like.
I also decided to add chopped walnuts to the recipe. By toasting the walnuts in the last five minutes that the vegetables cook, it creates more textural contrast and brings out the nutty flavor. I got this idea from watching Iron Chef America on Food Network. Chef Simon used walnuts with a vinaigrette, and the judges gave him a lot of positive comments about the flavor and texture. The combination in this recipe is also delightful, but certainly not mandatory if you want to leave them out.
- 4-5 parsnips (usually the contents of one bag), peeled and cut into sticks
- 4-5 large carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
- 2 tbs organic olive oil
- 2 tbs apple-cider vinegar
- 2 tbs dijon mustard
- 2 tbs raw honey
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp basil
- 1/4-1/2 tsp sea salt
- ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
- 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees, and line a roasting pan with tin foil
- 2. Peel carrots and parsnips, and cut them into sticks
- 3. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple-cider vinegar, mustard, honey, thyme, basil, salt and pepper
- 4. Add carrots and parsnips and toss to coat
- 5. Transfer vegetables and about half of the "dressing" to the roasting pan; spread in an even layer
- 6. Roast, uncovered for 35-40 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring once or twice during roasting
- 7. Meanwhile, pour excess dressing in small nonstick pan
- 8. On medium-low heat, reduce and thicken dressing, stirring frequently
- 9. Optional: Place chopped walnuts on parchment paper-covered roasting pan
- 10. Place on top rack of oven in last 5 minutes of roasting the carrots/parsnips
- 11. Serve carrots and parsnips with a drizzle of extra dressing and a sprinkling of walnuts for crunch
- 12. Enjoy!

Ranking the MLB Playoff Teams
Oct. 02, 2017
You love your sports, you love your teams, and you're always looking for more news about them.
This week was a week in college football. We had upsets, blowouts, and some good games. It is a typical week as you would expect, which is really not typical this year. But it was still fun as always. We are seeing the contenders distinguish themselves from everybody else while we are seeing others become those teams that are still "not yet there."
Here we go.
1. WASHINGTON STATE: Lost in all of the shuffle of craziness was the Cougars win over USC Friday night. They played a good overall game and showed that the PAC-12 North was not just Stanford, Oregon, and Washington. Mike Leach also showed he is a coach of the year candidate. Leach has the offensive-minded Cougars rolling and can play a bit of defense as well. How far will he take the Cougars is going to be the big question.
2. CLEMSON: The Tigers did not show they were a contender at Virginia Tech because we know they already are. They showed they are one of the teams to beat in the nation. They handled the Hokies with relative ease and are playing with a chip on their shoulder. Sometimes not giving a defending champion respect after losing a few key pieces is all the motivation you need for being an attacking champion. Clemson is playing possessed right now.
3. GEORGIA: Yes, I had Georgia blowing out Tennessee, but not the way they did it. And right now you have to think they are transitioning to that next level of national powers. Kirby Smart has them rolling right now.
4. AUBURN: The Tigers for the last two weeks have played like what they are expected to do on the offensive side. They dominated Mississippi State again, but one does wonder that Auburn still has issues on the offensive line. And after seeing what LSU has done it may be a case that Mississippi State isn't that good either...just better than LSU. But hey, Auburn could enter November with one loss still and they have Georgia and Alabama coming into Jordan-Hare. And as we know with Auburn, anything is possible.
5. TEXAS A&M: This was a tough one to use for #5. I use the Aggies in part because they recovered from that mess at UCLA to begin the year and they have won their next 4 games the way they lost to the Bruins and that is playing strong 2nd half football. Of course, next week Alabama comes in. One thing to note is that it will be a NIGHT game, and not a CBS 3:30 game. It may be a game that could be interesting to see, though the Aggies do have some major gaps Alabama can expose.
1. LSU: I mentioned last night Ed Orgeron is like a great substitute teacher. For a temporary while, they are very serviceable and can get positive results, but for any long period of time, they are probably not the best case solution for the group. Orgeron as an interim guy when he was USC and LSU was excellent. He got results from the players that the predecessors didn't. But when the "interim" tag is off, he looks like he is in well over his head. And a loss to Troy was a huge black eye to the Tigers program. I admit I hoped he got the job last year for the work he did, but sometimes it is a situation you have to look at and go "we need somebody with better credentials." Oops! But right now the Tigers seem to be in the downswing and maybe a team near the bottom of the SEC than they are near the top. LSU has a few games right now that if they lose, it may show Coach O the door by the end of the season.
2. TENNESSEE: The two reasons why I have LSU as the top loser and not Tennessee were because the Vols were not ranked and not expected to beat Georgia. But the program is in shambles. Butch Jones can sunshine all he wants about how the team is fine and everything is under control. It is safe to say he isn't. The team had a porous gameplan (and you can most DEFINITELY blame Butch for that) and then the players looked like they wanted no part of the game from quarter one against Georgia. It is an effort bit. It is an attitude bit and you can also blame Butch for that. He was grilled again this week for "fake news" comments to go along with his "Brick by Brick" & "Champions of Life" moniker. And it seems like he also has no answer for any of this. He can use whatever cliche he wants to use, but right now the program is a disaster and the brick house is nothing but rubble.
3. USC: The Washington State loss stung. However, I think the Trojans can still run the table as their biggest obstacle is Notre Dame. But Sam Darnold HAS to get better as he at times cannot handle defensive pressure. Right now you have to say this season has been a bit disappointing for Darnold, but maybe the expectations were too great.
4. VIRGINIA TECH: Clemson in your backyard and revenge on the mind. And you get really manhandled. And now an ACC Championship appearance is in trouble given the Hokies still have to play Miami. Clemson showed Virginia Tech is still not there on that national level yet.
5. THE MAGNOLIA STATE (MISSISSIPPI): This goes to the entire state including Southern Mississippi, but to the Golden Eagles credit, they at least were somewhat competitive with North
Texas.....but the two powers that reside within the Magnolia State were just embarrassed by the state east of them (Alabama for those who are geographically challenged). Ole Miss and Mississippi State lost by a total score of 115-13 to Alabama and Auburn, respectively (Ole Miss lost 66-3 to Bama and MSU lost 49-10 to Auburn). It showed that 1. 2014 & 2015 are long gone for the Rebels and Bulldogs and 2. the SEC West outside of the state of Alabama is very VERY weak. And it may only get worse.
1. DOES GEORGIA HAVE A GREAT SHOT AT WINNING THE SEC OVER ALABAMA? Maybe not a GREAT shot, but a good one. But you have to think they are one of the top 5 programs in the nation right now. They play great defense and it seems like everything is clicking with Jake Fromm at quarterback, moreso than when Jacob Eason started. Of course, most critics (and perhaps rightfully so) are waiting for Georgia to shoot themselves in the foot somewhere along the line, whether that may be the road game at Vanderbilt or the Florida game that gives them more fits than anything. Or that road game in Auburn or Georgia Tech. But I don't see it this year. They could go to the SEC Championship being 12-0. But Alabama is a whole different ball of wax.
2. WHY HASN'T WASHINGTON GOTTEN THE CREDIT THEY DESERVE? Maybe because they scuffled early on with Rutgers and some questioned if they were legit there. They have outscored their opponents 190-40 in their last 4 games, which looks dominant, but the games were to FCS Montana, a rebuilding Fresno State team, a Colorado team crashing to Earth, and a horrible Oregon State team. So they really haven't been challenged and a few of their games were slow starts on top of it (Colorado and Oregon State). But their season may really begin at the end of October with the teams they have to go through (UCLA, Oregon, at Stanford, Utah, and Washington State). Fortunately, 4 of the 5 are at home. And maybe that long awaited rematch with USC in the PAC-12 championship? If they continue to dominate in that, then you have to factor the Huskies as a legit threat.
3. IS THERE ANYBODY WHO CAN COMPETE WITH CLEMSON IN THE ACC? Miami in the ACC Championship if they make it? The Hurricanes look good but you do wonder if they are a team that is "ready" a la Virginia Tech. On the current schedule, two teams may give them an issue and neither one is Florida State. That is NC State and Georgia Tech. I think Clemson wins both games but I want to see how those games pan out for the Tigers.
4. DID OKLAHOMA STATE SHOW THEY ARE RESILIENT WITH THEIR WIN AT TEXAS TECH? No. Texas Tech I think is much improved than years past but they aren't at that level yet. Plus, the Cowboys defense is still average. And in college football, you NEED to have an excellent defense to win games. And until they can beat Oklahoma, nothing is guaranteed.
5. WILL WE SEE A COACHING CHANGE MID-SEASON? Honestly, I doubt it. Of course I said this about Les Miles around this time last year and he was fired the next day. Of course the two coaches everybody wonders about if they will make it to the end of the season is Butch Jones and Ed Orgeron. But with buyouts that colleges have to pay if they fire them (Jones around $9 million and Orgeron $10 million) may make it difficult and probably prefer to wait until the season ends. My guess is that unless either one loses 59-0 at any point they will be there for the last regular season game. But given how both LSU and Tennessee still have to see Alabama, it may be possible of a 59-0. And at that point, Jones and Orgeron may need to just stay in Tuscaloosa where the Tide fans may hide them to keep them around.
That's it for this week.
No scheduled top 5 next week as I am Purdue bound for my annual college football trip.

Shared Spirit – What's in a Name?
Moderated by Rachel Stein | email@example.com
Shared Spirit is a forum in which readers share their problems. Acting as mediator, I pose the issues to my readers, then print responses.
Life is good, studded with stunning opportunities for rebirth and transformation. I can attest to this because I am privileged and eternally grateful to have been granted a second chance. G-d sent me a wonderful man to be my husband, someone who lifted me from the quagmire of a first marriage that was never a marriage and taught me the meaning of love within the framework of a real relationship.
For two years I have endeavored to build a lasting edifice, a home for myself and my new husband. And for two years I have attempted to embrace Bruce's family as my own, welcoming his children and grandchildren into my home and heart.
Creating a home takes work, and sometimes all I wanted was to be alone with Bruce. We had so much catching up to do, so much construction to replace the destruction. But then the calls would come.
"Hi, Amy," my stepdaughter began, "is it a good weekend to visit?"
"Of course!" was my ready answer, while my heart frantically beat an opposing view.
After a busy week at work, all I wanted was to sit beside Bruce, catch up with him and enjoy his company. My dreams of peaceful nighttime walks, playing Scrabble over coffee and cake, and taking in our favorite TV show late at night went up in wistful smoke. Because, ready or not, Jill, her husband and their three little ones were going to scramble in, creating joyful havoc in what would have been our island of serenity.
Oh, well, I mused, the sacrifice is worth it for family closeness. Isn't it?
I lost count of the times I said yes to Bruce's children when I wanted to say no, all in the name of becoming a mother and grandmother minus the "step" prefix. His family would be my family, I vowed.
Time passed, our family bonded, and good tidings knocked on our door. Bruce's second daughter got engaged to a fine young man.
I offered to help the bride-to-be shop for her trousseau, and we happily shopped till we dropped. Everything was grand in my world until I saw their wedding invitation. Was it inadvertent, or was it intentional that my name did not appear?
Confusion and hurt swirled, threatening to drown me in their turbulent waves, and I was swept away in a maelstrom of pain. So that's the way it is? All of my efforts, every ounce of my caring, are meaningless?
Bruce got many earfuls, and I wanted him to take up my cause.
"Do you want me to tell them to redo the invitations?" he asked.
"Yes," I said, my breath ragged.
"But what if it causes contention?" he asked.
I glared at him.
"You're right," he soothed. "I'm totally on board with you. This was hurtful and inexcusable. But if your whole premise has been to solidify our foundation, are you sure you want to rock the boat? Maybe we're supposed to just swallow this and look the other way."
"I need to think," I mumbled, stalking out the front door, my shoulders bent from the burden.
How dare she! I seethed. After all I've done! It's so wrong, so ungrateful.
Yes, a soft voice piped in. You're right. But isn't selfless giving and devotion what define a mother? Does it really matter if your name isn't on an invitation that will ultimately be laid to rest in a garbage heap? Really now, is that what will last? And is it possible that if you make this an issue, the fiery altercation that might ensue will eat away at the castle you've tried so hard to create, threatening to destroy your beautiful edifice?
There was a thought-provoking response printed in this column advocating forgiveness even when someone shouldn't necessarily be forgiven — because living in harmony might just be worth more than being right.
Coming out on top may feel good temporarily, but it can be lonely standing at the top. Forgiving might mean bending and swallowing hard, but the benefits are transcendental.
How do you think Amy should handle this dilemma?

Jamie Brown has broken through
It's taken longer than expected for this to happen, but Jamie Brown has emerged this season as a genuine force in the First Grade competition. The Sutherland right-hander was identified as an exciting prospect as long ago as 2008 when, at 13, he played the first of his three seasons in the AW Green Shield side. By 18, he was in First Grade. But it took him a while to find his feet. In 2013-14, he took a break from the game, sitting out the whole season. After he returned, he hit his maiden century in Firsts, but lost the confidence of the club selectors and spent most of 2015-16 in seconds. He bounced back strongly in 2016-17, scoring more than 700 runs, but his career average remained below thirty, and he had managed only two hundreds in 61 innings. There was nothing about his start to this season that suggested anything better; he opened with scores of 4, 4 and 8. Since Round 8, though, he's been unstoppable. He hit a rapid 101 in a 50 over match with Penrith, followed that with 109 at North Sydney, and narrowly missed a third successive century when Randwick-Petersham's Adam Semple trapped him lbw for 91. He made up for that in Round 11, with a patient, matchwinning 126 against Bankstown. That's a streak, and it's helped to propel Sutherland to the lead on the First Grade table.
Tim Ley is under-rated
Tim Ley turned 30 this season. His pace isn't quite what it was, and it's unlikely that the representative selectors will be hunting for his phone number any time soon, but he remains a remarkably consistent and dangerous new ball bowler. Even though he missed a game to nurse a delicate hamstring, he's the most successful fast bowler in the First Grade competition this year (with 27 wickets - 36 in all formats), moving the ball both ways, maintaining an excellent line and length, and putting to work all of his accumulated knowledge about how to get batsmen out. He had a decent total to defend on Sunday, after Hayden Kerr, Steve Hobson, Nick Larkin, Damien Mortimer and Liam Robertson helped Sydney University to post 282 in their limited overs quarter final against Sydney. But Sydney has a powerful batting line-up, and Drummoyne Oval was in great condition, so the game remained wide open - until the first two balls of Sydney's innings. Tristen McDonald edged Ley's first ball through to Tim Cummins behind the stumps, and the second was a gem that flattened Dan Smith's off stump. Sydney was 2-0 from two balls, and although Harry Dalton fought hard, there was no way back from there. Ley took his 300th First Grade wicket earlier this season, and is a single good afternoon away from capturing his 500th wicket for the club. he may fly under the radar, but he's critical to University's chances of retaining its First Grade premiership.
The future looks bright for Liam Scott
It wasn't a great weekend for Sydney, who were upset in First Grade by North Sydney and crashed out of the Limited Overs finals. But there was a silver lining in Third Grade, where Liam Scott opened the batting and was still there when Craig Di Blasio declared, unbeaten on 201. Scott, who has a preference for the on-side, faced 223 balls, hitting 26 to the fence as well as five sixes. It was only Scott's ninth Grade game, as school commitments with Trinity Grammar School have limited his appearances so far, but he was a member of Balmain's premiership-winning Green Shield team last season, when he won two competitions with the Tigers (he hit 78 in the Fourth Grade grand final). An Australian Under-15 representative, he played for Cricket Australia in the 2016-17 Under-17 championships before turning out for NSW Metro this year, when he scored 57 in the grand final win over Queensland. At the age of 17, he already has a knack of scoring runs in finals, and (when free from injury), he's also a very handy medium-quick bowler with a high, upright action. In the Sydney club's long history, no-one had ever scored a double-century in Third Grade before, and Scott is unlikely to linger in Thirds for very much longer.
It's crunch time for Manly
Manly did everything it needed to do last round, with a clinical demolition job on Blacktown. Michael Visser and Mickey Edwards cut through the Warriors' top order, reducing them to 5 for 28, before Thomas Kaye finished the job with 4-9, his best return in the top grade to date. Then James Crosthwaite pounded 141 from only 116 balls, adding 167 for the second wicket with his brother, Adam (who hit 69). But Blacktown (and especially Jake Fawcett, whose unbeaten century soaked up 151 balls and included 11 fours and six sixes) did well to prevent Manly from taking full points, and the result leaves Manly just outside the top six. Manly's next two matches are against Bankstown (6th) and Parramatta (2nd) - so by the end of Round 13, they could be securely lodged inside the top six, or well adrift of it.
Easts are scary at full strength
Campbelltown probably thought they had a decent chance of knocking Easts out of the Limited Overs Cup after Phil Wells (97) steered them to a total of 264, and left-armer Luke Webb dismissed Peter Nevill for only 3. But when Easts are at full strength, getting rid of Nevill just brings Nic Maddinson and Angus Robson together. Maddinson has had an odd season, struggling for a run in four-day cricket, while often rising to quite spectacular levels in the short game. On Sunday he went beserk, thrashing 113 (out of 145 runs scored while he was at the crease) from only 56 balls, launching five sixes along with 13 fours. Robson anchored the rest of the innings with an unbeaten 83. Easts now meet Parramatta in the semi-final, but that's on 18 February, when the New South Wales team has a Shield game in Adelaide. Maddinson, Nevill, Will Somerville and Harry Conway might all be chosen for that game, in which case the match will become a test of Easts' depth rather than its horsepower.

Here's what you should consider before selling your home, and whether or not there is a perfect time to do so.
Consider your personal finances
First thing's first: you have to consider your own personal finances in any major homeowner decision you make, especially when it comes to buying or selling a home. This is highly important when trying to figure out if there is a perfect time to sell your home. While real estate trends can come and go, there may be a right and wrong time for you personally to sell your home. To figure this out, you can ask yourself the following questions:
Am I financially obligated to sell my home?
Do I need to sell as soon as possible, or am I financially able to wait until the market is best?
How much am I willing to invest into selling my home
What is the best choice for you and your family
If you are looking to sell a home that you and your family are currently living in, then the decision to sell will impact your family. Above all, you should consider what is most important to you and your family when determining when to sell your home. If you have children, you may want to list in the late Spring and move out by the time your children are on summer break. If you are looking to sell your home because you are transferring jobs to a new area or state, consider how long you have before your work transfer. Keep in mind yourself, your significant other, and your family, because selling a home just as much a personal decision as it is a financial one.

Blazing Star
Free Quilt Block Pattern
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Blazing Star quilt block is an eight patch block with lots of pieces. However, with careful attention to detail, this is an easy block to construct as an uneven nine patch. I like that method as you get to work in "chunks" rather than sewing row by row. The block gets you lots of practice making half square triangles, square in a square patches, and also (my favourite) patch, the flying geese unit.
I chose the obvious colours for this block -- as a star in the night sky. You might choose a totally different colour scheme and the resultant block will be striking.
The sample quilts illustrated use standard settings for the blocks -- a side by side layout as well as an on point layout with additional sashing strips.

Anghami is an online music streaming service based in Lebanon. It is a sizable player in the Arabic music market with over 30M app downloads and 6M people using the app monthly. Besides running a free streaming site, it also has premium subscriptions, and has to deal with reporting to music content rights holders.
Like many cutting edge startups worldwide, Anghami prefers to use Open Source software whenever possible.
Prior to installing Metabase, they were using a custom coded analytics tool that sucked up engineering time to develop and maintain over the years.
One day Helmi (Growth & Analytics Lead @ Anghami) was searching on Google for "visualization tools for databases" and found Metabase. A Metabase instance was up and running via a Docker container in 5 minutes and the next day others in his company were using it.
Now, aside from helping write the occasional SQL view or complicated query, Anghami's analytics system requires no maintenance time.
When Helmi first set up Metabase, Anghami was already using a separate data warehouse. This contained information about music streaming plays, user profiles and information about subscriptions. They paired this with Amplitude for interaction data and behavioral analytics.
They had recently moved to an AWS Redshift data warehouse. While this data is in a reasonable schema for analytical use, Helmi does occasionally create new aggregations that bring together data in a format that is easily and quickly consumed by non-technical coworkers via the Metabase GUI.
As might be expected in a business with a fairly large number of moving parts (content, subscriptions, rights management, etc.) there are a wide variety of questions that are asked within Metabase at Anghami. There are a set of nightly stats emails as well as a large number of dashboards.
About a third of the company uses Metabase weekly or more often — with users across Marketing, Advertising, Content, Financial, BizDev, Engineering as well as the Executive team. In a sign of a well structured and tuned data model, most of the company is able to use the GUI query builder to ask questions themselves.
By spending a bit of upfront time creating data models and marking up metadata, Helmi and the other engineers were able to almost entirely eliminate ongoing analytics engineering work.
Combining a bit of upfront work, a culture of data transparency and enabling any employee of the company to access Metabase via Google SSO provides a simple and easily maintainable self-serve, company-wide analytics system that requires minimal ongoing effort.

Your Feet are the Foundation of your Body.
Often Pain and Discomfort Stem from Incorrect Alignment of the Feet.
Custom Insoles May Help
Over 75% of the population suffers from misalignment such as overpronation or excessive supination. The effects can be felt throughout the body, whether in muscle and joint pain or through more serious injuries.
Pain can be caused by problems related to incorrect alignment as well as poorly fitting insoles and shoes which in turn can place your feet in unhealthy positions, impairing foot function, mobility and further negatively affecting overall body alignment.
FootBalance 100% Custom Insoles are individually custom moulded to each foot offering dynamic support to your feet without unhealthy excess rigidity, providing improved comfort and pain relief.
What Conditions could Footbalance help with?
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar Fasciitis is the irritation and inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of connective tissue running along the bottom of the foot. Pain is usually felt near the heel, but can also be felt in the arch.
Plantar fasciitis can be caused by different factors, including foot arch problems, a tight Achilles tendon, lack of support during prolonged standing, obesity or sudden weight gain.
The key to healing plantar fasciitis is to minimise stress on the plantar fascia ligament so that the body can start to heal the inflammation.
FootBalance Custom Insoles support your feet and arches properly in the neutral position, facilitating healthy foot function. This can help reduce the strain and stress on the plantar fascia, reducing pain and helping the area heal.
Shin splints
Shin splints refer to pain and tenderness along or behind the shinbone (tibia) felt along the inside or outside of the shin.
The pain usually develops after physical activity.
Repetitive stress to the area can lead to inflammation of the muscles, tissue, and periosteum of the tibia, causing pain.
Shin splints can be caused by many factors, including overpronation, flat feet or excessively rigid arches, running or jogging, sudden increases in training volume,
high-impact weight-bearing activities, over training, and/or improper footwear.
Make sure you have the right support underfoot and select the right footwear for your foot type.
FootBalance Custom Insoles support your feet properly in a healthy, neutral position to facilitate healthy foot function and improve overall alignment.
Runner's knee
Runner's knee, or IT Band Syndrome, is a sharp pain on the outside of the knee or hip caused by the friction between your iliotibial band and knee or hip.
This friction can be due to different factors, including overpronation, excessive supination, leg length discrepancies, tight hamstrings or IT bands, foot structure and/or muscle imbalances.
Running and stair climbing aggravate the pain, while sitting for long periods of time may lead to stiffness and soreness in the knee.
Select the right running shoes for your foot type and be sure to replace them regularly.
FootBalance Custom Insoles can help offer relief from Runner's knee by properly supporting your feet in a healthy, neutral position to improve overall leg alignment and foot function. Different levels of custom insole cushioning can be selected to help further reduce impact.
If you feel as if you would benefit from a free FootBalance Assessment then contact our Cheltenham or Tewkesbury Practice and we can see how we can help you.
If a more thorough biomechanical assessment is required, a seperate appointment will be needed. £130.
If you require a pair of individually moulded custom insoles they are priced from £90.
The moulding and fitting of insoles would be priced at £23 as would any additions made at the 30 day review.
For further information about the FootBalance system visit the Footbalance website.

Dark Horse take on Japan
I'm extremely envious. Those boys have managed to pull off an amazing little tour over in one of my favourite countries, Japan. It's not right that I am though, neither of my bands have put in much effort to do anything but yeah.... How good is it to be human!
Anyway, here's the details of their first show and it's a doozey! Bands from all over are coming together for this bit of messy noise.
Then there's the big one, the massive deal, probably one of their greatest gigs to date... The Japanese Obscene Extreme!
So many great bands, so many forms of freak music, Obscene always rules!! We wish you well young Australian men!
You can purchase many Dark Horse things from the Grindhead Records website such as their album Sick of the Living/High on Death, the split with Repulsion-esque Black Jesus, or the other split with Indonesian Gore Grinders Badak Singa.
You also have the choice of going to their bandcamp.

A warranty deed is used when a seller of a property needs to demonstrate they hold the title to the real estate and that they can legally sell it to a buyer. The deed will look at the history of the property in addition to the current grantor's ownership. The warranty deed will cover many different covenants.
This property law deed will require a lot of information in order to be legally binding. Since this is the deed being used to transfer property from one person to another, it is important to have as much accurate information as you have access to.
It can be beneficial to seek legal advice and have your counsel review your completed warranty deed to ensure you have included all necessary information in the document to allow you to transfer properties.
Long gone are the good old days when property could be legally transferred with a handshake and honest intentions. To ensure that a property transfer will be relatively trouble-free, a document known as a warranty deed will be needed. Therefore, it will be worthwhile to learn the basics of this essential instrument.
Broadly speaking, the purpose of a warranty deed is to guarantee that the seller of some property—often including land—holds free and clear title to (i.e., ownership of) that property as well as the right to sell it to the purchaser. While a warranty deed is not the only legally recognized method of ownership transfer, it is often preferred because it specifically attests that the seller not only has the right to sell the property but also that the property is entirely free of debt or liens. This, by itself, could undoubtedly mean fewer hassles and headaches for the prospective purchaser. This provides a much broader protection than title insurance, which only protects against claims on the property. In addition, a warranty deed guarantees that the property has not already been sold to someone else; furthermore, it ensures that the seller will be responsible for any faults or problems related to the property. While these considerations will indubitably benefit the purchaser, they also provide a measure of credibility to the seller. Thus, whether you're a buyer or a seller, and regardless of whether you're dealing with a business or an individual, if you want to avoid ownership-related problems down the road, a warranty deed might be your best option.
When finalizing the terms and language of a warranty deed, there are certain things you'll want to look for.
Next, you'll want to know the two main types of warranty deeds and how they are different.
Now that you know the purpose and types of warranty deeds, you may be wondering where you can find a legally valid warranty deed form. One thing to keep in mind is that the wording of the form will vary by state or county; there's no such thing as a universal form that covers all regions. Therefore, if you're planning to hire an attorney to draft the form, make sure that he or she is qualified and knowledgeable in regard to the particular laws of the region under consideration. As you might expect, it can be reassuring to have an attorney provide you with one of these forms, but it can also be expensive. If you have the do-it-yourself spirit, be sure to get one that meets the specifications of the state or county in which you plan to file it. After checking the form to make sure that it's completely accurate, be prepared to have the form notarized when all parties sign it. Also, expect to pay a nominal fee when you file the deed at your local courthouse.
Compared to most legal paperwork, warranty deeds are relatively simple and stress-free. Just as with any legal matter, it never hurts to know the facts. When it comes to warranty deeds, learning about them can make your property transferal much smoother, easier, and devoid of unexpected problems.
You should use a warranty deed any time you purchase a property from a buyer. Doing so ensures that you will receive protection against any unwanted surprises after taking ownership of your new property. Some feel as though warranty deeds are not needed if they purchase property from family or friends, however, neglecting to use one and outstanding claims or liens arise against the property, it can cause rifts in your relationships.
As mentioned above, there is more than one type of warranty deed. Aside from a special and general warranty deed, there are:
Grant deeds are very similar to general warranty deeds and depending on the county or region, the two are fraternal twins. An owner can use a grant deed instead of a warranty deed and have the same protection. However, this is not the case in all regions of the united states. In some parts of the country, grant deeds offer all the same protections as a warranty deed, protecting against claims to the land, liens, and restrictions. However, in the majority of the country, grant deeds do not protect against third-party claims to the land.
Bargain sale deeds to not protect against encumbrances on the property. These basic warranty deeds only warrant that the seller possesses the title to the property, and does not protect against claims, liens or encumbrances. These types of titles are generally used when a buyer is purchasing a foreclosed home.
In order to transfer ownership of real property between parties, a legal document known as a deed is required. Warranty deeds are the most commonly used version of this document. The warranty deed form contains certain guarantees by the grantor to the grantee that his or her title is good. These guarantees are sometimes referred to as covenants for title. Depending on the fulfillment of these covenants, warranty deeds are classified as either general or special. The general warranty deed form is used if the grantor can guarantee all of the usual covenants on a piece of real property. A special warranty deed form is used if the grantor can promise only limited warranty.
A free warranty deed template will include the following basic components: the names of the parties to the claim (the grantor and the grantee), a statement of consideration, a granting clause that includes definite operative words, words of inheritance, a description of the land or property being conveyed, a habendum, and, most importantly, a statement of the grantor's warranties or covenants.
The general warranty deed template is traditionally comprised of the following specific covenants for title:
The first two covenants are nearly the same. The covenant of seisin and the covenant of right to convey both promise that the grantor has an estate of the quantity and quality which he claims. The covenant against encumbrances guarantees that there are no outstanding mortgages, leases, taxes, liens, easements, restrictions on the use of land, etc. on the property in question other than those specifically mentioned. The covenant for quiet enjoyment and the covenant of warranty are also usually considered together. They assure that the grantee will enjoy the property, without risk of eviction by a third party with a lawful claim of better title.
If one of these guarantees proves false, then it is referred to as a breach of covenant. For example, if a third party does claim superior title to the property in question, this is a breach of the covenant of warranty. The covenant of warranty will not be breached if the claim is unfounded, nor will it be breached if the grantee pays a third party claimant voluntarily without suit. The grantee must either be evicted or forced to surrender possession of the property in question via a court decision. In such an event, the covenant of warranty promises that the grantor will compensate the grantee for their losses.
In a special or limited warranty deed template, the grantee is only provided some of these covenants. The grantee is only protected against persons "claiming by, through, or under" the grantor. This means that the grantor does not guarantee the title against defects prior to when he acquired the property, but only against those which arose during. The special warranty deed form is simply a transference of interest, along with an assurance that the grantor has done nothing to compromise the title in the period during which he held that interest.
Warranty deeds require several pieces of information from both the buying and the selling parties. This information is not extremely personal, and most likely, both parties will know off the top of their heads or be able to quickly reference in pertinent documents.
When you are buying or selling property, a warranty deed is an indispensable part of that process. The warranty deed form serves as a legal guarantee that the individual selling the property is the sole and rightful owner in the eyes of the law; that they, most importantly, have the legal right to make decisions regarding the property without regard to any other entity. Unlike a quit claim deed, which makes no guarantees regarding true legal ownership of the property, a completed warranty deed template offers a guarantee that the property's ownership is clear.
Prior to completing a warranty deed, the seller will need to obtain a copy of the property's current deed, if it is not already in their possession. Once the current deed is in hand, a warranty deed form must be completed either through an attorney or (far less expensively) by finding a free warranty deed template online. The pertinent information must be filled out clearly, including the date and full names of the current owner ("grantor") and owner-to-be ("grantee"). Then, you'll need to list out the "consideration" for which the property is being transferred; in other words, what amount is being paid for the property.
Next, the free warranty deed form will require specific information on the property in question. This description protects both the seller and buyer, ensuring that the specifics of the property to be transferred are clear and understood by both parties. A legal description of the property must be listed in the warranty deed template, including the properties dimensions, measurements, and boundaries. To make matters easier, you can simply copy over the legal description that is on the current deed if nothing has changed. If the property has changed, you'll need to have a licensed surveyor conduct a survey to get a new legal description. You can then enter it on the warranty deed template.
Once the warranty deed form is completed, it will need to be signed by the current owner. If there is more than one owner listed on the deed, then all owners must sign the warranty deed. Be sure to sign in front of a qualified notary only, as warranty deeds must be notarized to be valid. Once this step is complete, you can file the signed and notarized warranty deed at your county's local recorder's office. When the warranty deed has been signed, notarized and filed with the county, the property transfer is complete.
Before a seller can obtain a warranty deed, he or she must first ensure that the property being sold is free from liens, claims, or encumbrances. This can be done by doing a title search and a review of various public records pertaining to the home. Once you are sure that your property is free of any issues, it is then safe to obtain a warranty deed. As a seller, you want to be sure that there are no issues related to your home because you can be held liable if you sign a warranty deed and issues later arise. You can obtain warranty deeds from a local realtor's office, or off the internet by downloading a quality template. Once the form is completed, it will need to be notarized by a notary public to legalize the document.
In order for a warranty deed to be legal, it must be signed in the presence of a notary public. Next, the notarized document must be filed with the city or county office responsible for recording property documents. It's important to note that in order to take this step, all previously billed property taxes must be paid in full.
Our team at FormSwift created a datagraphic to show what the most common deed or deeds used for conveyance during the closing of a property sale are in each state of the US. Note that there might be certain instances in your state in which an additional deed other than the one (or multiple) listed is used.
A Warranty Deed is where the seller (grantor) guarantees that they hold clear title to specific real estate and has a right to sell it to the buyer (grantee).Read More

I saw a sign near Union Square in a new salon advertising "Ear Candle Therapy" that had a photo very similar to this one:
(which is also hilarious looking this way:)
I had to find out more. Check Wikipedia for a great article. Some highlights:
- "According to medical researchers, it is both dangerous and ineffective"
- The FDA says, "...the use of a lit candle in the proximity of a person's face would carry a high risk of causing potentially severe skin/hair burns and middle ear damage."
- "Material that appears after ear candling, sometimes alleged to be earwax and toxins, was found to be residue from the candle itself."
- "Although Biosun, a manufacturer of ear candles, refers to them as "Hopi" ear candles, there is no such treatment within traditional Hopi healing practices."
Sounds like a safe, effective procedure. Let's all go stick a lit candle in our ears! Sounds like a great idea!*
*Sweet Gams! does not endorse nor recommend Ear Candle Therapy. Sticking a lit candle in one's ear does not sound like a great idea. Making a candle out of one's ear wax and lighting that, though, is a different story.

What We Do
Why we are unique…
Monies raised by Braz™ do not fund research, but directly support breast cancer patients through the Massel-Cruickshank Breast Cancer Patient Assistance Fund by way of the London Regional Cancer Program Patient Assistance Program.
This includes but is not limited to:
- child care
- anti-pain and nausea medication not covered by insurance
- taxi fares
- parking
- wigs
- prostheses and bras
- palliative care
Anything that improves the quality of life of the individual with breast cancer will be given consideration.
Other ways we support our community:
Working in collaboration with St. Joseph's Health Care and the Breast Care Centre, we have recently donated $15,000 to support a self-serve coffee service for patients and their families so that they may enjoy a warm drink (coffee/tea/etc.) while waiting for appointments at the Breast Care Centre. Our donation ensures that this simple, yet comforting, service is available to breast cancer patients, their friends and families for the next 7 years.
Throughout the year, Braz™ also promotes our supportive role in the community through our involvement and participation in local community events, as well as, other breast cancer initiatives like; Run for the Cure and Bust-a-Move.
Braz™ provides comfort pillows to the pre surgical units for women undergoing a lumpectomy or mastectomy. Braz™ funded a special support garment for women undergoing reconstructive surgery. Braz™ has also supplied gloves and booties to LRCP regional chemotherapy clinics to prevent irreversible damage to finger and toe nails from chemotherapy.
How to Access funds…
In partnership with the London Health Sciences Foundation (LHSF) and with the efforts of Supportive Care at the London Regional Cancer Program, the frontline Massel-Cruickshank Breast Cancer Patient Assistance Fund provides short term financial assistance for breast cancer patients in need.
Braz™ would like to help you! Download the Program Application now AND/OR contact Supportive Care, London Regional Cancer Program at 519-685-8622. All names and medical records are kept confidential and recipients remain anonymous.
Why is this important…
It is estimated that more than 22,000 women in Canada will be diagnosed with breast cancer each year. For a sizable minority of cancer patients the burden of out-of-pocket costs is significant or unmanageable, even in Ontario where much of the care falls within the public funding envelope. A survey of cancer survivors attending a clinic in Ontario found that the average out-of-pocket costs for their care were $213 per month. Some patients may forego treatments or therapies because of cost. It is common for these unexpected expenses to occur just at the time employment income is lost. Therefore, it often falls on family members to help with household and personal support tasks normally undertaken by the patient resulting in further financial burden on the family.
Who we help…
Our fund serves a population of 1.5 million people in the catchment area of the London Regional Cancer Program (LRCP). This includes the Southwestern Ontario Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) and the eastern portion of the Erie St. Clair LHIN.
In 2018, we were able to help fund:

ABC Bahrain sets record; generates 5m business referrals in 2018
MANAMA, January 15, 2019
The Arabian Business Community (ABC), a leading Bahrain-based business portal, has generated a record 5 million business referrals to companies in 2018.
The ABC, which has 14 databases covering the entire GCC region, generated 1,689,449 potential business leads on the Bahrain portal alone during 2018.
The Bahrain portal, has established itself as the go-to resource for company and contact information in the kingdom by providing the most comprehensive search parameters for individuals looking for companies across any one of 160 business categories, said a statement from Bahrain-based Al Hilal Group.
The 2018 figures represent a 19 per cent increase in business referrals on 2017, it stated.
"ABC Bahrain attracts over 1,100 unique users generating almost 5,000 business referrals each day to the thousands of companies listed on our Bahrain database. These referrals are potential targeted business leads as our visitors are searching for companies offering dedicated products and services across specific business areas ranging from Consumer and Commercial to Construction, Industry and Oil & Gas sectors," said Kamal Al Yousif, the commercial manager for Al Hilal Group.
According to Al Yousif, the enquiries on the ABC Bahrain database reflect current market trends as searches in various categories indicate market trends.
"The year 2018 has seen a significant increase in the number of searches for accountants and auditors as the country prepared itself for VAT. Conversely there has been a slowdown in the number of individuals searching for cars, auto parts and services reflecting perhaps more challenging year for those sectors," remarked Al Yousif.
"Searches for companies in the construction sector have shown an increase with more individuals searching for companies dealing in aluminum, ceramics, bricks and blocks and building materials than in 2017," he stated.
ABC's ranking in the minds of visitors is reflected on Google. ABC Bahrain appears on page 1 of most google searches for individual companies in Bahrain.
"A company's profile on ABC complements their own website and, in many cases, ranks higher than their own social media platforms," observed Al Yousif.
"This is a clear indication that ABC is driving more traffic to a company's ABC profile page than their own social media," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
