Wish it were true
Reaching out on the OM Riverboat in the port cities along the Rhine, I am showing people, with the aid of four pictures on my wristband, how they can begin an amazing friendship with God. In sophisticated Europe, this might seem a childish and pointless thing to do.
But I read something in my cabin from the seventeenth century French Philosopher, Blaise Pascal, that startled me. He said that there is little point trying to persuade people with Christian belief. Instead, the way to impact people was that, having caught a glimpse of this rich and satisfying life that was being offered, to make people wish that it were true.
My mind darted back to something said in an email I received from a Swiss teenager at Easter, 2017. Noah thought I was a little strange when we met in Barcelona the summer before on an OM Transform outreach. With the four pictures on my wristband, I showed this young man how he could have a friendship with God. When Noah got home to Switzerland, he read about the four symbols in the One Wish leaflet I had given him and thought: "A friendship with God could be interesting."
Noah got a glimpse of that satisfying desire for a friendship with God. Pascal went on to say that once that desire had been planted in the human heart, the mind would eventually catch up and make sense of this reality.
The following Easter, Noah's mind caught up with his heart. A Christian friend invited him to a special gospel service. As he heard the message, the Holy Spirit connected the dots. Reflecting on how the pastor led him in prayer, Noah said, "When I repeated the prayer, I felt like Jesus came in my heart and I had a feeling of so much hope and love."
He then remembered our conversation nine months before when we met in Barcelona and emailed me. That seed of desire was planted. Nine months later it was birthed.
During these past three months on the Riverboat, we have organised regular prayer and evangelistic walks. We gather for an hour in the morning to pray for the lost and the city before going out to share using the One Wish approach. We ask, "If you could wish one thing from God today for you, what would that be?" We pray for their one wish and then say, "May I show you with these four pictures (pointing to the wristband) God's one wish for you?" With the aid of the four symbols, we explain that God's One Wish is to have a friendship with them. We are sowing seeds of desire in the hearts of Europeans for the life they had wished, and that can only be found in a friendship with God.
"I came so that you can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of." John 10:10 (The Message)
I am hoping to meet Noah in March when the Riverboat gets to Strasbourg.
Richard has served as a missionary in India and in leadership aboard three of OM's ships and preached the gospel in nearly 100 countries. This Englishman, while onboard, met Rachel, from Colorado who assists him and has a ministry of prayer, encouragement and hospitality. They have two grown sons who serve with OM USA. His passion is to go around the world with 'One Wish' – an approach he has developed, to equip God's people to help others begin and grow in friendship with God.

Take a Risk, You Deserve It.
A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine found a listing for what was very close to her dream job. She was under qualified, and she wasn't
looking for a job, but still. Her dream job.
We talked for
about whether she was going to apply or not.
Could it hurt to just try? Wouldn't it be embarrassing when they saw she wasn't
the type of candidate they were looking for? But wouldn't she regret letting this opportunity pass without trying?
After a few days of talking about all the reasons it was a bad idea, she went for it. She cleaned up her resume, wrote a cover letter, and put herself out there.
Within an hour (I'm not kidding - a single hour), they'd emailed her back and let her know her qualifications weren't enough for the job.
She took a risk. She wasn't successful. But it was still worth it.
Because you know what? Her resume is updated. She realized she was excited about the possibility of a new job. She now knows rejection doesn't kill her. And the next time she comes across a risk worth taking, it'll be easier.
Taking a risk doesn't have to pan out to be worth it.
Go to a new workout class that you very well may embarrass yourself in. Or, that you very well may fall in love with.
Ask someone on a date. Really, do it. They might say no, or you might have the best night of your life.
Apply for that job. You may be underqualified, or you may land yourself a dream job.
If nothing else - even if you fail
and nothing good ever comes from it - it's a reminder that you
take risks
That you're alive and moving forward and not stagnant.
Take a risk. You deserve it.

Our Mission
Our primary purpose is to serve you at your convenience by offering weekend appointments - Saturdays and two Sundays each month. We understand the importance of your time and realize that it would be easier for you to prioritize your dental care if you can schedule a time that doesn't interfere with work or school.
Why we call ourselves Banyan Tree
The Banyan tree is found in several areas of the world, particularly in India, and is also its national tree. On a trip to the Maldive Islands in the Indian Ocean, this tree made such an impression on Dr. Truong, that it became one of her favorite trees. In Pakistan and India, its twigs are used as toothpicks, the oldest dental cleaning instrument! Dr. Truong thinks this tree is meaningful and that its name is fitting for a dental practice.

Le Favori sweeps viewers away to a remote beach side location to present the fair beauty of model Alsa A. This blonde temptress has a vivacious personality that shines through in her first erotic photo shoot. Alsa is clearly a natural and the unspoiled geography of the beach is a perfect locale to underscore this model's attractiveness.
Alsa invites viewers to slip away to a place of beauty and erotic fantasy.
The locale chosen for Alsa's debut appearance at Met Art compliments the vivacious on-the-go nature of this young woman. Alsa revels in extreme sports and challenges. She's like the ocean she immerses herself in throughout this series… constantly in motion. Alsa rises early each day so she can jog while the day is new. Her long wavy hair flows freely during this photo shoot, but the model most often pulls her locks into a pony tail so it doesn't distract her from her active lifestyle.
Alsa is the kind of girl who, when she awakens, washes her face, puts on a dab of lip gloss and a baseball cap and still turns heads. Her favourite attire is a pair of yoga pants and a tight little t-shirt. Don't think for a moment, though, that this sophisticated young woman isn't equally comfortable in a form-fitting cocktail dress and pair of stiletto heels. Alsa has an inner confidence that allows her to dazzle in any situation.
The introductory picture for this series presents Alsa completely nude. The model's hair is damp with seawater and trails down her suntanned back. The blonde poses atop a sand-coloured boulder. The roughness of the terrain surrounding the ethereal creature contrasts sharply against the smoothness of her flesh. The direct sunlight emphasises the flawlessness of this creature's seductive presence.
The first photograph featured from Alsa's initial photo shoot with Le Favori focuses on the loveliness of the model's face. She's clad in a white linen blouse tied in a knot at her abdomen. The model pulls her long wet hair away from her face. The gesture offers an unhindered view of the model's sweeping arched brows that frame a pair of sea blue eyes. The model's symmetrical lips are tinged with a gentle hue of rose. Her smooth cheeks glisten with youthfulness.
Alsa poses at the water's edge in the next picture. She still wears her crisp white shirt but it's opened enough to reveal a glimpse of her bosom. The model's sun-streaked hair is tousled by the sea side breeze. Her face is slightly upturned and a smile graces her angelic face. A turbulent tide simmers in the backdrop of this picture. Alsa rests her bottom on the backs of her heels. Le Favori had a difficult time keeping up with the high energy of this model. Her liveliness and vitality definitely translate through the medium of still photography.
Alsa's exquisite derriere commands the attention in the last picture from this series. The models full round buttocks are positioned in the direction of the camera. A landscape of sand-coloured rock surrounds the seductress. Alsa's nude image harmonises flawlessly with her surroundings.

Have a great story idea that you want to pitch to freelancers?
If so, give them enough time to work with their client publications. Don't expect to pitch, then hear from them immediately about whether they're interested.
That's one of the tips from freelance journalist Helen Chang, who has contributed to Time, BusinessWeek, San Francisco Chronicle and many other outlets, and whose recent digital clips include MSNBC.com.
"I need to do basic research on a story first, then come up with an angle and then pitch the editor," she explains, outlining the typical pitching process freelancers themselves must go through. "The editor then mulls it over and ultimately gets back to me."
Brian Pittman, who writes for Bulldog Reporter's excellent Journalists Speak Out newsletter, interviewed her and included her other tips for working with freelancers.

Water pong is a modified version of the well-known "beer pong" game. The event we hosted benefitted the family of JuJu Matthews as they work through this difficult time since he was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia. This tournament was capped at a 24 team bracket, and was a big success! We were able to raise over $500 for the Matthews family! The Java Nick's team, Ruben Gonsalez and Robbie Chacon, took first place and won the grand prize from Kaleidoscoops!

The Sandlot 2 (2005)
3 mistakes
Directed by: David M. Evans, David Mickey Evans
Starring: Brett Kelly, James Willson, Max Lloyd-Jones, Samantha Burton
New this month Continuity mistake: When David retrieves the rocket and the great fear chases him through the town, the sun goes from setting to being right above them.
Factual error: One of the male character is shown wearing a BDU, or Battle Dress Uniform, which wouldn't be developed until the late 70s and wouldn't be released until around 1982, 10 years after the storyline.

After my last attempt to post updates resulted in my passing out with my computer on my chest. I decided to get some much needed sleep instead. Onsite projects gave me pretty much zero studio time, now with a day to go let's see if I can pull this off.

I had a hot date with my Mother for the wonderful Letters Live. You may remember my trip there last year and after having such a wonderful evening Mum kindly offered to take me this year.
We had some time before which meant a spot of tapas at a brand new opening in Covent Garden. Duende had opened just 6 days before and comes from Victor Garvey who was involved in London Bridge's Bravas Tapas.
Be warned as his new restaurant is absolutely tiny but don't be put off as it serves amazing tapas, some of the best I've ever had in London. The decor is very sophisticated and has an underground bar feel to it despite being a restaurant. With it being so small it's music to my eyes as you can book in advance, no need to queue for these flavours.
We took our spots at the bar and started with our free cava courtesy of The Nudge, just quote when you book your table. First up was a gorgeous salmon rulada with crispy sweet potato crisps, our favourite of the evening.
Next up was the tempura style prawns with a horseradish flavoured mousse, no doubt described that wrong but it was yummy that's all you need to know. We also had a gorgeous dish of wafer thin beef and truffles which unfortunately I didn't photograph, would recommend.
Our final savoury dish was the lamb cutlets with a flavoursome alioli sauce, simple but lovely dish.
We opted to share a dessert which was a wise move as they are pretty big, we had the torrija which was heavenly. A typical Spanish dish which is pretty much their take on bread and butter pudding.
It was then time to make our way over to Freemason's hall for Letters Live. It was a yet another star studded event with the likes of Gillian Anderson, Tom Hollander, Jarvis Cocker, Samantha Bond and many more.
There was a very poignant moment where Jarvis Cocker read a letter from a Doctor to David Bowie after his death. It's a fascinating evening to hear some of the letters from the past and in such a stunning setting. I do have to admit now doing two years in a row and the tickets aren't that cheap this might be the last time for awhile but to anyone who hasn't been do go on their next run.
Thanks Mum for a lovely evening and see you for the next London outing.

Samsung Has Released The New Notebook 9
Samsung's new laptop comes with a really light body. Moreover, the Notebook 9 has some really great features that customers need to check out.
We must say that the new Notebook 9 is one of the most lightweight laptop on the market. The surprising thing about this laptop is that it comes with a 15-inch display. As we know, those models with 13-inch displays are the most lightweight laptops on the market.
However, its body is not the main attraction here, because Samsung managed to add other interesting features on it. Customers should know that the new Samsung Notebook 9 also comes with a great battery life and can be charged via USB Type-C port. The company claims that its battery life can go up to 12 hours of use, which is impressive. This means that the laptop's battery life is one of the longest on the market.
We won't notice that this laptop is incredible until we pick it up. The new Samsung Notebook 9 weighs just 2.63 pounds, which is really impressive for a notebook that has a 15-inch screen. Its body comes with silver-on- silver design and doesn't have the mission to attract a lot of eyes.
Moreover, we must say that it has some incredible slim bezels that surround its full HD display. The slim bezels have the mission to allow more screen in a smaller body. The good thing about these bezels is that they are silver too. But, customers should know that these bezels don't look as nice as the edge-to-edge models that are on the market. We are talking about other competitors, like Dell XPS 15 and HP Spectre x360.
So, the new Samsung Notebook 9 comes with a very decent design, which makes it undetectable among other competitors on the market. Moreover, this laptop lacks the touchscreen option, which could represent a minus. But, customers who don't care about designs and touchscreen features could see at this laptop a potential must-buy model. Customers will be able to buy the new Samsung Notebook 9 at the price of 1.400 US dollars. Unfortunately, at this moment, we must say that the company doesn't offer this model in the UK or Australia.
Under the hood, customers will find a 2.7GHz Intel Core i7-7500U processor, accompanied by 16GB of RAM, and 2GB Nvidia GeForce 940MX. As for storage, the company added a 256GB SSD, which is good enough. As we mentioned earlier, the new Samsung Notebook 9 comes with a 15-inch screen that features a 1.920 x 1.080-pixel resolution display.
As for ports, we must say that this laptop comes with a good variety of them. We are talking about a USB-C port with Thunderbolt 3 support, two USB 3.0 type-A ports, an Ethernet port, a full-size HDMI output, a headphone/mic jack, and a microSD card slot.
In the end, we must say that the company also includes a couple of utilities for system recovery and maintenance. This means that customers will have an easier mission to disable applications, uninstall software, and cleanup disk space.

Filipinos have an undying love for drama. Never mind the same old switch-at-birth premise and textbook love teams, as long as we get our daily dose of soap operas, which for men come in the form of pro wrestling theatrics and basketball storylines. The whole country is in one hell of an emotional rollercoaster—just check out the news as of late.
This week's main storyline revolved around a different kind of drama, though—good ol' fashioned nostalgia. And we have a rare sighting of The Eraserheads to thank.
Eheads = teleserye-ads
Drama is nothing new to the pop culture and Pinoy rock juggernaut composed of Ely Buendia, Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala, and Marcus Adoro. From being rejected by bars and labels when they were just starting out, to dealing with ups (1997 MTV Asia Viewer's Choice Award) and downs ("Alapaap") that came with their prime, up to the day Ely sent the "graduation" text that ultimately finalized their break-up, OPM's Fab Four has had its fair share of lows.
Their highs, thankfully, were just as cinematic and golden as their celebrated work. The climactic two-part Reunion Concert, for example, gave us the best happy ending of our lives. A few years later, Esquire dedicated an issue chronicling the band's London tour, perhaps bringing closure to their long-standing break-up issue. It came with a limited edition CD which featured the singles "Sabado" and "1995," their most recent release in over a decade.
More recently, a campaign for a major telco, starring, of course, Marcus, Buddy, Raimund, and Ely, has once again captured our fancy for all things #feels…
The video shows how the four music icons reconnected with each other, to the tune one of their sentimental classics, "Minsan." Based from the reactions and comments, the minute-long reel elicited ephemeral bliss, especially the scene where Ely phoned Raimund and threw his, "Pare, kailan ang jam?" line while strolling along the UP campus.
Indeed, an instant classic worthy of air time (and man tears).
Are we not entertained?
More than any band in recent memory, The Eheads seems to be the only one who can easily excite its legion of followers merely by being together. To us, they are not just heroes, but, excuse the mush, friends. The very people who have always been privy to the narratives that we've lived through and somehow survived, ultimately defining who we are.
This strong bond is encapsulated, in fact, in their immortal discography, one that has proven to be also irresistible to the savvy marketing practitioners of our times. Remember when a fastfood chain even paired "Ang Huling El Bimbo" with sundae-dipped French fries in its TVC to draw out every possible emotion from a bittersweet reunion? Speaking of bittersweet, that multi-awarded single was also the very same song played during the final minutes of defunct rock station NU107?
So what do we make of this recent return to the spotlight? Perhaps, the very prospect of a much-awaited, if not more permanent, reunion is what keeps us elated. Is there a more proper album in the works? Nothing official has been announced as we write this as to the future of The Eraserheads. Maybe they'll go for it, maybe they won't. Right now, the circulating video is all there is to it.
The feeling is mutual
We shed tears of joy upon watching the video simply because it's relatable. Seeing them together once more brings to mind the very same feelings of glee experienced by sons and daughters reuniting with their parents or by friends-turned-lovers-turned-strangers becoming friends again.
We share the happiness, lonesomeness, alienation, anger, and resentment simply by listening to every track from every Eheads album. Most likely, we've met a few Shirleys and Paralumans along the way, loved and accepted a couple of Jays, and shared countless Sabados with our friends who cried over "ma-boteng usapan."
The Eraserheads may not be the typical lead actors for your dream teleserye. But they sure know how to tug at our heartstrings, inundating our hearts with joy. The sight of these four musicians summoned back that mystic force that pushes us to connect not just to every Eheads song we know by heart, but also to everyone and everything that we hold so dear.
This is why The Eraserheads will remain relevant to Filipinos regardless of age and social status. This is D-R-A-M-A we can dig.

Many vehicles need a properly working differential system for the smoothest ride possible. While all vehicles have some variation of a differential system, the location of the differential depends on the drive type of the vehicle. The differential system delivers power to the wheels while allowing the wheels to turn at different speeds. As your vehicle maneuvers through a turn, each wheel on the car travels a different distance. The two wheels on the outside of the turn travel a farther distance than the two wheels on the inside, and the back wheels cover a different distance than the front wheels. The differential permits the vehicle to complete turns easily despite these differences. Differential fluid keeps the differential system running smoothly by reducing heat and resistance caused by moving parts.
Heat from friction will gradually cause the differential fluid to break down, making it harder to keep the differential properly lubricated. Degraded differential fluid causes poor differential performance, excessive noise, and disproportionate wear. In severe causes, old fluid will eventually cause a differential breakdown, if not a complete differential failure, which means that your entire differential system will need to be replaced. Replacing an entire differential system is costly and can be avoided with routine maintenance as indicated by your owner's manual, which will provide you with specific intervals for servicing your differential. Depending on your needs, when you undergo a differential service, various components of your differential system will be checked and possibly repaired or replaced in order to keep your vehicle running efficiently.

The holiday season is upon us and that might mean company is coming! Here's how to prepare for a nice clean visit!
- Start with the Guest Bedroom. Your guest might be staying in a designated guest room, or a kid's bedroom or even the couch—no matter what: Make sure sheets and pillows are clean and the area is pleasant for him or her. Lay out clean towels and have toiletries ready in the bathroom for use. If it is cold outside, have an extra blanket ready so they don't have to bother you in the night.
- Keep Clutter at Bay. By simply picking up your house, you can ensure that the guests have a good opinion of your home. Stash toys and unused items in basement or storage to sort after the holidays.
- Make Room in the Closet. Your guest will have a coat to hang up and maybe even some clothing for parties, events or church. Take the time to clear out some space for them.
- Stay on top of Bathrooms. With extra people comes extra germs and dirt. Keep cleaning solution and a rag handy under the bathroom sink and use it to clean up everytime you are in there. Spraying Lysol disinfectant on doorknobs, toilet seats and sink handles can ensure that everyone stays healthy this time of year.
- The Kitchen is the hub of holiday activity. Keep it clean. Enlist help from other family members to stay on top of dishwasher duty and wipe down counters each night. Using paper products can help immensely!
- Make Your Entry Inviting. Hanging a festive wreath is a cheerful greeting. Also, make an area for guests to put shoes and keys and keep other clutter away.
Taking the time this week or next to put these tips into action will ensure that you can spend more time visiting with your guests and less time worrying about the cleanliness and clutter of your home! Happy holiday season!

Experience with Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks (CSEB)
Thursday, January 3, 2013
By Arch. Nabeela Nazir
In October, 2007 we considered building our house in Lahore where we had moved a couple of months earlier and it appeared that we were going to stay put for the foreseeable future.
I had always admired houses made of soil in its most natural form. Rammed earth, Wattle and daub, Adobe, Cob and CSEB seemed to me to belong to their surroundings as fired brick didn't. Urban and climatic constraints however rule many of these techniques out, except Rammed earth and CSEB.
Having worked with CSEB many years earlier in my days with the Aga Khan Network, I decided to give this medium a try once again. CSEB are compacted soil blocks produced in a specially designed manual press. The press is known as Cinva Ram and was first used in South America about 60 years ago. The basic component of these blocks is soil to which some amount of sand is added for its inert qualities. Depending on the overall soil composition and the type and amount of clay particles in it, it is stabilized with cement and/or lime to a ratio of 5-10% by volume. The dry mix is gently sprinkled with a little water and mixed with a fork. The water should be just enough to make a lump as you squeeze it in your hand. The process of compaction and stabilization together ensures that the block gains sufficient strength after proper curing and makes it equivalent to a kiln produced brick.
One could see endless examples of this medium from places in southwestern US like New Mexico etc. Closer to home in India too, with the Auroville Institute in the state of Tami Nadu, India, taking the technique various notches up. Contemporary examples in our immediate urban environment however, are hard to come by. My brief search for the same in Lahore was predictably unsuccessful, but I decided to go ahead nonetheless.
Some research later, which included the tests of soil samples from the site ( X-Ray Diffrected and Petrographic Modal analysis) at the New Campus Geology deptt, the hunt for a source of hydrated lime, locating the fellow in Karachi who had made the Block Press for us earlier, discussions with Auroville regarding the best block size for a small project and overall composition based on the type of soil I had available, and finally after consultation with the engineers, we designed a load bearing house in CSEB.
Our Block size was going to be 12"x9"x3.5" and the composition was to be 1:3:6, where soil was 6, ordinary sand (not the more expensive sharp sand) was 3 and cement and lime was 1 (half and half).
Now started the tough part, finding and retaining a team who would make the blocks and a contractor who would be willing to re-train his labour to build with a material they were unfamiliar with. There were countless questions but I was lucky to find a group who were willing to take chances and get the answers as we went along. A nasty surprise was in store early on though. The speed with which we had anticipated to work was too ambitious. Along with the press we had made a huge pulverizer to break down big lumps of clay but it never worked. We had no choice but to manually sieve all the soil we wanted, the day before we would want to produce, and the production of blocks did not exceed 120 blocks a day. By a rough estimate I would need at least 50000 blocks (CSEB being equal to about 3 bricks). That would take me at least a year of non-stop production. I had limited time but didn't want to give up what I had learnt so far. So I compromised and settled for a single room with three exposed walls made with these blocks, some accent walls in the house and the entire boundary wall. We made about 5000 blocks in all. Wasted some, randomly tested some and built with the rest. For trial only we added kairi and even chopped jute to some blocks, with excellent results. But in the interest of time and an ease of execution, stuck to the initial mix for the most part.
The test results in the beginning at 14-28 days of curing would not exceed 550- 600 psi. The addition of hydrated lime in the mix held the promise of an increase in strength as the months passed. Sure enough when we tested the block (at PITAC) many months later it had gone up to an average of 1100 psi.
The reason some homeowners around the world choose to construct primarily with soil is not only for the way it looks but also for many other advantages:
- CSEB is completely sun and air dried, unlike the brick industry which guzzles endless amounts of fuel and adds to environmental pollution.
- It uses up all the soil that you dig up for the basement, much of which would be wasted in a conventional house. Essentially then, the basic material is free of cost and right under your feet!
- It is socially far more responsible than bricks as almost all the cost associated with the production (except for the initial one time capital investment and the nominal amounts of cement and lime) is handed to the labour. With my inefficient press and low production rate I was still spending less than I would have on bricks. To briefly compare the cost to that of a brick; a day's production yielded 120 blocks ( a better press can yield upto 400) , cost me Rs 1000 in labour and about 500 in material, including cement, lime and sand. Each block therefore was Rs 12.5. Equating it to the cost of brick 12.5/3= Rs 4.1. A good brick at that time was between Rs 4.5 to Rs 5. This ensures a modest saving of at least Rs 75,000 in the cost of bricks only for a medium sized house of covered area between 5000 to 6000 sft. The more substantial saving follows however when laying the blocks and, during plaster. Its bigger size has fewer joints and hence uses less mortar. Plaster work is easier and more even on both sides of the wall as the neat and crisp edges ensure there is no wrong side of the wall.
- Provided there is a bit of space, to build and store close to the site, the transport cost associated with carting bricks to the site is eliminated.
- The highly compacted CSEB is thermally more efficient than brick, effecting temperature transfer at a much slower rate. Rate of water absorption of CSEB also being less than that of brick, an unplastered CSEB wall lets rain water run off without getting soaked itself.
- The addition of lime in the blocks (and in all mortar and plaster work, sub floors etc.) provides a healthier indoor environment as lime continuously absorbs CO2 from the air to change Ca(OH)2 back to limestone (CaCO3).
With a bit more R & D, a more efficient press than the one I had used could be developed, the cement and lime mix that I used could be completely substituted with lime. Lime being much cheaper than cement and having qualities which make it superior to cement on many counts. For instance it gains strength over time (owing to an inherent process called the lime cycle), self heals hairline cracks, repels insects due to its alkalinity , and has an embodied energy (the energy employed in its production) which is much less than that of cement.
We have lived in this house for almost a year now. Like most new houses we have had our share of teething problems but none of them relate to our custom built blocks. My only regret is had i started a year earlier I would have built completely with stabilized soil. {Via Arch Times}

Hi Tony, Glowing regards for you and your company! I had a scheduled minor surgery after return, then those unavoidable taxes. I want to give you my favorable review on the trip. Even would like to do on Trip advisor if you have no objection. Just in overload and digging out further slowed by this Sr's tech fumbling. Must mention two things now. Can't imagine a better tour guide than Romi! A true gem! Second, those whisperers were priceless! More later.

Where there's a Will, there's a way.
Just ask Lee's Summit North senior Will Bruce, who came away from the Class 4 state shot put as the surprise winner.
Where there's a Will, there's a way.
Just ask Lee's Summit North senior Will Bruce, who came away from the Class 4 state shot put as the surprise winner.
After finishing second in the event the past three weeks at conference, district and sectional, he came away from Friday's Missouri State Track and Field Championship at Lincoln University with a first-place effort of 56 feet, 10.75 inches.
His teammate Ben Pascal was fourth, 54-10.50; and Blue Springs' Jordan Chrisman, who entered the competition as the top seed with a first-place throw of 57-4.5 at sectional, was sixth with a throw of 53-8.25.
"If I couldn't win, I'm happy Will did," Chrisman said. "He's such a class kid. I've really enjoyed competing against him the past few years. He came down here to state and got it done. That was my plan, but it just didn't happen."
It was a happier day for his teammate Jordan Dodd. The senior made Saturday's finals in two events while earning the top seed in one. Dodd recorded the top time in the 300-meter hurdles. His time of 37.63 seconds was 1.19 seconds faster the the No. 2 finisher, Walter Powell of Hazelwood East.
Dodd also squeaked into the 200-meter finals with an eighth-place time of 22.15.
Blue Springs South's Ben Harvel will join Dodd in the finals of the 300 hurdles. His time of 40.02 is seventh.
Fort Osage also had a strong day by earning two finals berths. E.J. Gaines cut .41 of a second off his seed time to gain a spot in the 100-meter finals. His time of 11.05 seconds was seventh best.
Gaines also helped the 800 relay squad a spot in the finals with the third-best time (1:27.99) in the prelims along with Nathan Hancock, Tyler Lee-Banks and Edward Pearl.
Blue Springs' Chrisman didn't try to sugarcoat his performance or hide his disappointment in the shot put.
"If I told you this doesn't mean anything to me, or that I'm not disappointed, would be a lie," Chrisman said. "I don't know what happened today. I threw 59 (feet) in practice and came in here today feeling great.
"Then, I just don't know …"
The senior fouled on his first two attempts in the preliminaries and got off a 50-7 throw on his first attempt to go into the final round in seventh place.
"Not a lot of confidence going into that final round when you're seventh and you've fouled twice," Blue Springs coach Joe Cusack said. "When you get in a hole like that, you start thinking about not fouling, instead of doing what you have to do to win the event."
Chrisman said the fouls did weigh on his mind.
"I was thinking about them," Chrisman said, "but when I got out of the prelims, I thought everything would be OK and I could get back (and have success) in the second round."
Bruce won on his final attempt.
"I was sixth at state last year, and I'm pretty excited right now," Bruce said. "Finishing second the last three weeks let me know I was right there. I just picked the right meet to finish in first.
"It's pretty exciting."
The Lee's Summit North 3,200 relay team of Kolton Shelton, Jon LaPlante, D'Andre McKenzie and Connor Moylon finished third with a time of 7:58.91.
CLASS 3: Oak Grove's Tyler Banks claimed a pair of berths in Saturday's Class 3 finals. He had the third-best time in the 800 (1:57.34) and the fifth-best time (48.97) in the 400. Banks and the 1,600 relay team of Aaron Stout, Pedro Ramirez and Kyle White also made the finals with a seventh-place time of 3:25.18.
Grain Valley's Tyree Meadows finished 13th in the 800 and did not advance. The Eagles' 3,200 relay team of Meadows, Wilson Gaschler, Tyler Ishmael and Matt Tecce just missed an all-state finish, taking ninth in 8:13.57. Ishmael finished 11th in the 3,200.
Oak Grove's Chase Tryon was 16th in the pole vault.

Research on ants as bioindicators in a fire-dependent, threatened ecosystem: Sandplain forest in Vermont. Since 2010, I have studied the ant biodiversity of burned and unburned plots of land in one of the most threatened forest types in the Northeastern United States, sandplain pine-oak-heath forest. This work is done in collaboration with the Vermont Army National Guard who own and manage the largest remaining parcel of sandplain forest in the state of Vermont. I have engaged 9 undergraduates in this work, and we have presented invited lectures, posters and talks at regional and national conferences in the USA and in India about the work. A peer-reviewed journal article describing some of our results appeared in the Northeastern Naturalist in 2014. In 2015, I worked with a Roanoke College student who received a Summer Scholar grant to and accompanied me to Vermont for fieldwork for his project for Honors in the Environmental Studies major.
Research on ants as bioindicators in agro-ecosystems. To date I have studied ant communities of farms and gardens in Uttarakhand, India, Roanoke VA and Washington DC. In Summer 2016 and 2017, I have been working with students on the ant communities of community gardens in urban and suburban settings to learn how urban biodiversity of insects is affected by garden projects.

BooksAnimals in Environmental Education: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Curriculum and Pedagogy. 2019. Published by Palgrave Macmillan/Springer Nature. Co-editor with Dr. Teresa Lloro-Bidart. The book emphasizes integration of the arts, humanities, and natural and social sciences. Each chapter considers how interdisciplinary curricular and pedagogical practices shed new light on our understandings of and ethical/moral relationships with non-human animals. Engaging conceptual frameworks such as intersectionality, posthumanism, and significant life experiences, and considering topics such as equine training, meat consumption and production, urban human-animal relationships, and zoos and aquariums, the chapters collectively contribute to the field by foregrounding the lives of animals to produce novel ideas for animal-focused education.

text: Trier Social Stress Test A Method for Use in Nursing ResearchWilliams, Reg Arthur; Hagerty, Bonnie M.; Brooks, GenealNursing Research: July-August 2004 - Volume 53 - Issue 4 - p 277-280 METHODS Buy Abstract Author InformationAuthors Background: Researchers face the difficulty of inducing psyquitchosocial stress in a laboratory setting using a method that institutional review boards could consider an acceptable research protocol. Methods: This article describes the Trier Social Stress Test, a research protocol that can be used to induce psychosocial stress and capture the integrated aspects of an individual's biologic and psychological responses. Results: The test involves 15 minutes of psychosocial stress induced by a mock job interview and followed by a mental arithmetic challenge before a panel of three judges. The discomfort associated with performance requirements induces stress in socially acceptable ways that can be measured using physiologic and/or psychological parameters. Conclusions: This method allows stress to be induced and measured in a controlled, laboratory setting.

Something Borrowed, by Emily Giffin
As chic lit goes, this one was fine. Lifelong BFF's Rachel and Darcy are now living the glamorous life in Manhattan... but beautiful Darcy has the hot fiance and all the luck, while Rachel just has long hours as an underling lawyer and her 30th birthday. The story was good, and I completely related to the protagonist. Not only was her name Rachel too, but she was the quiet, deferential best friend who couldn't believe someone would be interested in her. This is who I was in college, but I hope I've learned how to be kinder to myself since then... not to mention I have better friends now, too.
It's a good story, but none of the characters are very exemplary and as such, Hollywood is releasing the movie next summer.

Something Borrowed, by Emily Giffin
WilsonPosted by Rachel Labels: graphic novel Wednesday, August 18, 2010
Wilson, by Daniel Clowes
I found this from the sewing blog (with anti-establishment leanings) Angry Chicken and immediately reserved it from my local library. I like graphic novels, even if I'm a little late to the party. I enjoy seeing how authors use the artwork and medium to say something new. Also, the sarcastic humor appeals to a Calvinist like me, and I thought this one was pretty funny.
Wilson is a clueless, lonely, middle-aged man who is so aware of his own suffering he can't realize that his own self-focus has directly caused so much pain. Dark things happen, but his reactions are funny because of the total lack of self-awareness. I enjoyed the drawings, too, as the style varied on each page but the mood stayed the same. Each page is set up as a stand-alone episode, kind of like reading a collection of comics, except with heartbreak and a few felonies. The language and situations are most definitely R-rated, by the way, so don't read this, Mom and Carol.
Wilson: won't pick it up it again, didn't like him, and a depressing read. All in all, an excellent graphic novel.
The Girl with the Dragon TattooPosted by Rachel Labels: Fiction Wednesday, June 30, 2010
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, by Steig Larsson
Don't read this book.
I feel so strongly about this, that I came out of my self-imposed bloggy exile to review it. The orginal title was "Men who Hate Women" and it's much more accurate than "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", especially considering the girl in question had many tattoos which were much more meaningful, the dragon tattoo was only mentioned once in the entire book, and it was mostly about a male financial journalist, anyway.
On the whole, it was a thriller that completely absorbed me, even if it was a bit long-winded at times. Set in Sweden, it's about Lisbeth Sander, a social outcast with an uncanny gift of finding out information about other people, and Michael Blomkvist, a discredited journalist convicted of libel against a huge corporation. But the story quickly devolves into violence, and doesn't come out again until the very end of the story. Lisbeth is a strong character, but not entirely believable, in my opinion. Her retribution against her attacker left me feeling just as sick as the original crimes. Men who hate women keep appearing throughout the story, and the hatred and violence was described in too much violence for me--I wish I could get the descriptions out of my head.
So why show this much evil in a book? What good can it possibly do? I think that the increasing openness of our culture has created the benefit of increasing awareness of crimes, but on the other hand it desensitizes us against all the ugliness out there. Even worse, I'm sure there were some readers who enjoyed reading detailed descriptions of the abuse (a high probability among the many copies sold across Europe and America) and who knows what it may have triggered in already-twisted people. One could argue that there is a sense of thwarted justice running through the book and most chapters opened with grim foreshadowing about statistics about domestic violence, assault, and victimization in Sweden. But at the end of the story, the plot turns again to financial intrigue and secret Swiss bank accounts, abandoning the heart of the book. Even though the bad guys eventually meet ruin, the legacy of violence remains.
So what if you're like me, who gets very upset by violence against women? You support International Justice Mission, support your local women's shelters, and don't read this book.

Bird prompts power outage
Police: Spooked woman bolted
Teen�s molester takes plea deal
Alleged soda thief nabbed
Free weekend band concert
HOUMA -- A power outage shortly after 2 p.m. Tuesday left 1,159 customers in west Houma without power for 41 minutes.
Workers with the parish-owned utility system, which serves the affected customers, found that a bird caused two breakers to open in the Southdown substation on Valhi Boulevard, said Tom Bourg, parish utilities director.
The outage affected neighborhoods along Valhi Boulevard and Polk Street up to Tunnel Boulevard. Some businesses and street lights on Barrow Street were also part of the power outage.
HOUMA -- A woman got so scared during her attempt to buy crack cocaine at the Daniel Turner Trailer Court that she sped off, leading police on a mile-long car chase, she told them.
A police officer patrolling East Street around 1:30 this morning saw a silver Ford Thunderbird speed out of the trailer park, well above East Street�s 25-mph limit, said Houma Police Lt. Todd Duplantis. The speeding car�s driver ignored the officers� attempts to stop it, as well as stop signs and traffic signals up Payne Street and on Howard Avenue, police said.
The car finally stopped on Morris Street, and the driver was identified as Tina Grabert, 41, 402 Coach Court, Houma, police said. Grabert told the officers she had been trying to buy crack cocaine, but became frightened when a man walked up to her, so she sped away.
She was arrested on charges of reckless operation and flight from an officer.
HOUMA -- An accused rapist pleaded guilty Tuesday to the lesser charge of molesting the teen girl he is accused of having sex with.
Roland Octave May III, 27, was arrested April 27, 2006, on a charge of forcible rape for a girl who was then 16, court and police records show.
Based on the wishes of the victim and her family, May was offered a plea deal for two years in prison on a charge of molestation of a juvenile, which he accepted in court Tuesday.
If convicted on the rape charge, May faced a penalty of between five and 40 years in prison.
"What you were charged with originally is a very serious offense," said District Judge George Larke during the sentencing. "Hopefully, this is not something that society will have to worry about, you molesting another juvenile."
As part of his guilty plea, May must register as a sex offender.
May, a former framer and construction worker whose last address was in Darcey Trailer Park in Houma, said he plans to move to New Orleans after his release.
HOUMA -- A rash of recent soda and newspaper vending-machine burglaries has been traced to a Houston man, police said.
Donnie Rambo, 47, 10915 Jutland Road, Houston, was initially stopped Tuesday by Houma Police for driving a car without its owner�s permission after a complaint from Lafourche Parish, said Houma Police Lt. Todd Duplantis.
Detectives then learned that Rambo was responsible for breaking into the vending machines, Duplantis said. He is charged with nine counts of both theft and criminal damage to coin-operated devices. He is also charged with theft more than $300 and illegal possession of stolen things, and more charges may be pending, Duplantis said.
THIBODAUX -- A free community band concert is slated for this weekend at Nicholls State University.
The Bayou Community Band and Choir will perform at 4 p.m. Sunday at Talbot Hall Auditorium on the Nicholls campus in Thibodaux.
A dress rehearsal is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday.
Both the concert and the rehearsal are free.

In Gray v Gibson [2014] All ER (D) 35 (Mar) the Court of Appeal overruled a first instance decision which found the claimant 40% contributory negligent for a head on collision between her car and a lorry that had veered over to her side of the road.
The accident happened on a road with one lane in either direction. The vehicles were travelling in opposite directions. The judge found that the lorry driver had allowed his vehicle to cross over onto the claimant'side by more than two feet as her car approached. She had been travelling at 30 mph.
The Court of Appeal ruled that the DJ had been wrong to adopt a starting position that assumed that both parties were equally to blame for the accident. The correct approach was first to determine whether the defendant was liable and only then to consider whether the claimant was also negligent.
The extempore judgment spares the usual homily about the Court of Appeal only rarely interfering with a first instance apportionment of liability under s1 Law Reform (Contributory Negligence) Act 1945 – since, these days, this seems to be honoured more in the breach. As it was, the Court held that the claimant's speed was not causative: what caused the accident was the defendant's carelessness in crossing onto the claimant's side of the road. She could not be blamed for failing to anticipate his negligence by driving slower.
The defendant was fully liable.
For another recent case along these lines see: Bennett v Southwell [2013] EWHC 2382 (QB).

Work is set to begin Sunday to eliminate more than 2 miles of slow zones on CTA "L" tracks used by the Brown and Purple/Evanston Express Lines between the Armitage and Merchandise Mart stations, officials said Friday.
Rush-hour service will not be affected for the almost 40,000 commuters who ride the two lines into downtown each weekday, officials said.
Structural repairs along the stretch, called the Ravenswood Connector and built in the late 1800s, will be done mostly late at night and on weekends. Trains will operate on a single track during these times, resulting in longer travel times and some occasional changes in boarding locations at stations, officials said.
After the elevated structure is repaired, the CTA will replace deteriorated rail ties and track components in 2014, officials said.
Preliminary work on the $71.2 million rehab project began this summer. When work is completed next year, 70 percent of slow zones will have been eliminated on the Brown Line, officials said. For safety, trains currently must slow to a maximum of 15 mph on sections of the corridor because of worn track infrastructure.
