Hey boos,
It's been a very long while, I know, forgive me. A lot had been going on in my life that needed to be attended to promptly but now I am back. I received so much love on my last post, the one titled "sorry", thank you so much for that, I really appreciate it.
So we've just hit October and we all know what that means, cuffing season is upon us. Cuffing season defined by UrbanDictionary occurs during the fall and winter seasons where people who would rather be promiscuous or single, find themselves, along with the rest of the world desiring to be "cuffed" or tied down in a serious relationship.
This year however, it's going to be a little different for me, this year I've decided to be single throughout the cuffing season. Now some of you may ask, Gedo what are you talking about, you've never had a boyfriend, which is true, I've never had a boyfriend but during this time of the year, I always had someone I was talking to and this was also before I had a better understanding of what dating was and what it was mean't for so I definitely was in a hurry to get "cuffed".
So what has changed, why have I made this decision? Well, I figured that I actually enjoy being single, not because it allows me to kiss as many boys as I like but because I feel like I have more breathing and thinking space, more peace of mind, it's almost stress-free . I'm not saying that being in a relationship is a bad thing, definitely not, finding someone who you want to be with is a beautiful thing, I just don't think I am ready for it. Talking to someone, or having a thing with someone, I realized, makes you happy, it gives you a rush. Anytime they say something cute to you, instant rush, instant happiness, if they say they have mutual feelings for you, instant rush, instant happiness, smiling so hard you think your face is going to burst but being single gives you a different type of happiness, a tiny warm feeling in your heart that just sits there.
I'm not saying being single is the best thing in the world, because it's not. Sometimes I feel so lonely, I look at people who are in loving relationships and I'm like wow, I wish that was me but that only lasts for a while for me and then I realize that I quite enjoy being single. I like it being me, myself and I, I like that I am using this time to put effort in myself, love myself, respect myself and develop God-confidence so that when indeed God decides to drop that special someone in my life, I can love them whole-heartedly and by that time I would have known who I am and who I am in Christ so I wont feel like I have to change for them.
So cuffing-season, it's God and I this year, and it couldn't be better.
Have a blessed week,

Published at Thursday, May 09th, 2019 - 17:16:53 PM. Kitchen. By Lissette Villette.
Sometimes 4" or 5" of wall depth is all you need to go from chaos to uber-organized. This wall of hooks for pots and pans proves this. More accessible than they would be crammed into a cupboard or deep drawer, these pots make very efficient use of what would otherwise be wasted wall space. This unique and wildly efficient cup/mug hanger simply slides onto your existing shelf. It requires no screws or any other assembly. This is a highly effective use of the "dead space" that inevitably falls in the top 1/3 of most cupboards.
Maybe it's a little more apparent at this time of year, in the thick of the holiday season when so much is happening in the kitchen (and with so many people, to boot!). But kitchen space is invaluable. No matter what style your kitchen is – traditional, contemporary or somewhere in between – and no matter how big it is, maximizing the space you do have is one of the keys of enjoying this holiday season. Saving space is really about making things easier, more organized, and less cluttered. In essence, making the most of not only your space but also the items within your space. Here are some pretty quick and easy, yet totally essential, ideas for you to incorporate into your kitchen. Most of them are so simple, you'll wonder why you didn't think of them sooner!

Risk Management and Internal Control
The Board is responsible for maintaining sound and effective systems of risk management and internal control, which include financial, operational and compliance controls to safeguard the Group's assets and Shareholders' interests, as well as for reviewing the effectiveness of such systems. Sound and effective systems of risk management and internal control are designed to identify and manage the risk of failure to achieve business objectives.
The Group has formulated and adopted a risk management policy (the "Policy") that depicts the systems to effectively identify, assess, mitigate, report and monitor key business risks across all business units. The "Top-Down" approach is adopted in the Policy, which is facilitated by strong oversight exercised by the Board, the Audit Committee, the Risk Management Taskforce (the "RMTF") and senior management in the establishment and maintenance of the Policy, framework and program. At least on an annual basis, the RMTF identifies risks that would adversely affect the achievement of the Group's objectives, and assesses and prioritises the identified risks according to a set of standard criteria. Risk owners are assigned for different risks and mitigation plans are then formulated by risk owners for those risks considered to be significant.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The following are the key risks that are considered to be of most significance to the Group at this time. They may adversely impact the Group's businesses, financial conditions, results of operations and growth prospects if they are not managed effectively. These key risks are not comprehensive, and there may be other risks, in addition to those set out below, which are not known to the Group or which may not be material now but could turn out to be material in the future.
Key risks related to the Group's businesses and to the industries in which the Group operates include:
Competition – The Group operates in markets and industries with competition from the local and overseas rivals, which has led to pricing pressure and increased marketing costs. The Group has operated in this competitive landscape for a few years and has had to adapt its business strategies in light of the changed market conditions.
Technology – The Group's operations depend on its ability to innovate and the successful deployment of continuously evolving technologies, particularly its response to technological and industry developments, as well as its ability to foresee and/or rapidly adapt to the emergence of disruptive technologies.
The Group cannot be certain that technologies will be developed in time to meet changing market conditions, that they will perform according to expectations or that they will achieve commercial acceptance.
Economic Environment – The deterioration of global financial markets and a slowdown in global economies may result in a significant decline in demand for the Group's data centre services.
People – The Group's success and ability to grow depends largely on its ability to attract, train, retain, and motivate highly skilled and qualified managerial, sales, marketing, operating, and technical personnel. The loss of key personnel, or the inability to find additional qualified personnel, could adversely affect the Group's prospects and results of operations.
The risk management process is embedded into the day-to-day operations of the Group and is an on-going process carried out by everyone in the Group. Key procedures are being established and implemented to ensure that there are appropriate and effective risk management and internal control systems which includes (a) setting core values and beliefs which form the basis of the Group's overall risk philosophy and appetite; (b) having an organisational structure in place with defined lines of responsibility and delegation of authority which hold individuals accountable for their risk management and internal control responsibilities; (c) imposing an organisational structure which provides necessary information flow for risk analysis and management decision-making; (d) imposing budgetary and management accounting controls to efficiently allocate resources and providing timely financial and operational performance indicators to manage business activities and risks; (e) ensuring effective financial reporting controls to record complete, accurate and timely accounting and management information; and (f) expanding the roles and responsibilities of the Audit Committee to include the review of risk management and internal control systems.
In addition, the Group has an Internal Audit Department which is responsible for performing independent reviews on the effectiveness of the Group's risk management and internal control systems. Deficiencies in the design and implementation of such systems are identified and recommendations are proposed for improvement. Significant internal control deficiencies are reported to the RMTF, the Audit Committee and the Board on a timely basis to ensure prompt remediation actions are taken.
The Audit Committee, as delegated by the Board, discussed the risk management and internal control systems for the financial year under review with Management to ensure that Management has performed its duty to have an effective risk management and internal control systems in place. The Board ensured that the resources, staff qualifications and experience, training programmes and the budget of the Group's accounting, internal control and financial reporting functions were adequate. The Board concluded that in general, the Group had set up control environment and installed necessary control mechanisms to monitor and correct non-compliance or material internal control defects, if any.
The Board, through the Audit Committee and with the assistance of the Internal Audit Department, has conducted an annual review on the effectiveness of the risk management and internal control systems of the Group for the financial year ended 30 June 2018 and considers that the Group's risk management and internal control systems for the financial year was effective and adequate. No significant areas of concern that may affect the financial, operational, compliance controls, and risk management functions of the Group have been identified. The systems are designed to manage rather than eliminate risk of failure to achieve business objectives, and can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.

Interesting. A video would answer the story in two seconds, so why no video?
The first thing I looked at was the gait. It doesn't look like a big cat, they are more lithe and graceful, and it looks far too big and powerful for a dog, and i've seen a 200 pound mastiff. My gut tells me this is an escaped circus bear, there are many stories of circus animals on the loose. But I could be wrong, The weird thing is looks like a giant Hyena-A cryptid maybe? better get Mulder on the phone...

Black Jaguar.
The inward pointing front right paw as it steps forward... the high left shoulder blade...
the long tail, the shiny coat, and the funny face (Jaguars have a funny shaped face)...
Absolutely no doubt in my mind that it's a Black Jaguar.
What it's doing wandering through the English countryside on the other hand LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
I have no idea.
But I am so glad we finally have photographic evidence, albeit a bit grainy, after all the sightings.
Could be a pet dog.

It's not a cat or a bear. It's an obvious hoax.

Yep, I'm no expert but the way the cat tail mingles with the bear head. It's either a weird model someone built or a bear model with a cat tail shopped in.
I don't need to be an expert to see it.
Edit to add: Whether it's a model or a Photoshop, the 'cat tail' is part of the fencing. Maybe it really is a real bear. Stranger things have happened.

It looks feline to me although I'm certainly no expert. There is however, one feature that has me leaning toward my conclusion...
I could be totally wrong so correct me if anyone here knows better but the way its shoulder blade is raised in the above image strikes me as how a big cat appears whilst walking.
Like I said I could be totally off but that feature doesn't seem as prominent in canines.

Electronics are the most important part of any house. Your house chores are completely dependent on electronics. Be it small kitchen appliances or DSLR Cameras, tablets and phones or big home appliances like TV and fridge, the entire house chore depends on the appliances. Not only for houses, but even the offices are dependent on electronics. An IT system, centralized air conditioners, CCTV cameras and a number of other things without which a company is not able to function. There are times when you plan on shifting or migrating to some other city or country. For this, you cannot leave your most expensive and branded electronics and shift. You need to take them along with you. Small appliances can still be carried but big ones need to shipped separately. Even the small ones need to be carried with proper care and protection. Electronics are not easy to carry. This is because there are multiple problems that can arise. They are so sensitive that they are prone to damage, they can easily heat up, their specs can be misplaced. Anything like that can take place while shipping electronics. More than that, electronics can also be stuck at the customs and can you lead to a number of extra charges and taxes that you will have to pay along with the shipping cost. There are a few things that you can take care of while shipping electronics. This article will guide you about all these problems in a detailed manner.
Almost everyone can ship electronics from one state to another. A lot of companies ship electronics and they know the exact procedure for proper care. Shipping electronics that too properly and safely without any complications is even more difficult to handle. Usually, when we ship this IT equipment, they are stopped at the customs and held there and that's where all the fee and taxes apply.
It is very important to get proper and special packaging done to your electronics in order to protect them from any sort of damage. Whether you are sending a crate of networking hardware or you are sending a tablet or phone to your family as a gift, your shipment must have snug cushioning. While a product is manufactured, the manufacturers make sure the packaging includes a proper space for all the specs that the box include so never misplace the original box. Stay clear of packing peanuts which can create static electricity and will do a lousy job of preventing items from shifting. Cushion your electronics with bubble wrap inside an appropriately small box. Then put it in a double box, wrap the first box with another layer of bubble wrap and then place it inside a slightly larger box.
There are a few rules and regulations that need to be followed while you ship electronics. For example, the lithium-ion batteries in our phones and computers come with a risk of explosion. The bigger the battery the greater the risk. Due to the change in the air pressure and temperature in planes, it can also cause a build-up of static electricity. If a laptop or some other device with a battery installed, turn on, it can create a great amount of heat surprisingly. The batteries could short-circuit or potentially set ablaze. All devices that are 'radiation-emitting' definitely need to have insurance and legally require specific paperwork and licensing.
If a shipment of yours has been stuck in the customs before, make sure you pay attention to this and learn to save money when importing IT equipment while not having this happened again. An easy solution for this is to partner with an importer of record. Negotiation is required legally. There are a number of companies that specialize in importing IT equipment and they will also guarantee you swift and efficient customs clearance. These companies will look after your international import licensing, permits, and they also offer additional tax-savings services like import VAT recovery. They have a chain of clients and partners at every point along the supply from manufacturer to end user. It is important to have an IOR because they understand the ever-changing rules and regulations of any country you wish to do business with. Plus, if you do incur indirect taxes in these foreign destinations, like VAT, GST, JCT, or HST, and this way they can also help you get a refund of the tax charged.
If you are prepared to ship stuff beforehand, shipping them on a small or large scale can be very easy. Just be sure that you use the right documents or seek help from companies that provide packing services especially the ones that specialize in electronics. This would be a great step and you can save a lot of money as your electronics will be shipped without any hassle or damage.
Now that you've read the article, your doubts about shipping electronics must be clear and you know the kind of precautions that you need to take. So, worry no more, get started with the packing and ship your most valuable electronics without any hassle.

The use of blue filters to bypass the slow yellow response of the phosphors severely impacts the usable signal integrity.
Working on removing the inefficiencies and technical limitations of phosphor-based white lights, a team of researchers from the University of Sheffield has designed a novel type of white LED by closely hybridizing an inorganic InGaN/GaN blue LED with pockets of organic light-emitting polymers (OLEPs).
The idea behind this hybridization is to leverage the OLEDs' much faster response time together with a highly efficient near-field non-radiative Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between the inorganic active region and the nearby yellow-emitting organic polymer.
It is understood that nonradiative FRET involves a near-field radiation-less energy transfer from inorganic active-regions (donors) to OLEPs (acceptors) through dipole−dipole Coulombic interactions, hence the need to minimize the separation between donor and acceptor dipoles so they can interact.
The researchers started with a commercial blue InGaN/GaN LED wafer grown on c-plane sapphire, with a 160nm thick InGaN/GaN MQW active region.
In a paper titled "Electrically Injected Hybrid Organic/Inorganic III-Nitride White LightEmitting Diodes with Nonradiative Förster Resonance Energy Transfer" published in ACS Photonics, they detail how they patterned a two-dimensional microhole array structure deep across the MQW active region to drop cast a yellow-emitting polyfluorene copolymer.

Mid way through another week & a freebie
It's Wednesday already? I don't remember much about Sunday except Dad's visit. Oh, and hubby made delicious barbeque! Need to buy him a new pressure cooker though because this one is leaking and what a mess it was to clean it off the glass stove top. Monday I took my SIL out to lunch at Joe's Crab Shack where we feasted on shrimp. This is my husband's sister, the one who had breast cancer and she is doing pretty well. Naturally, there is still a good bit of anxiety and depression but she's getting help and her moods are stabilizing. Afterwards, we went over to Michael's Arts & Crafts where I bought some charms for bookmarks my niece wants to make. Yesterday, niece was still off on school holiday and while we watched American Horror Story's first session on Netflix (blood and gore not really my thing; I prefer psychological thrillers) we both crocheted like crazy and she baked some caramel apple cupcakes from a new mix we found. Tasty but very sweet. Today I will be delivering baby gifts for Baby Chloe, 3rd girl for one of my doctors receptionist. Almost forgot to take photos and when I did my hands were shaking badly from low blood sugar. Will try to post those later tonight. I still have some of the variagated yarn I made the snuggle sacks and caps from and some of the green I used to make frog lovey for my nephew's baby boy. Also made a frog hat and a frog drool bib with it! Now I'm using those two leftover yarns to make a diaper cover. Hope it will be enough; if not, I'll take it apart and save for another project. Have been experimenting with some vintage Halloween stickers and made a couple papers. Not my best efforts but perhaps someone can use them? http://www.4shared.com/zip/6Cua0EXGba/ws_halloween_papers.html?

the papers are adorable! thank you! would love to see pictures of your crochet work. my mother inlaw crochets - I prefer candle/soap making, but this year am going to try and knit socks on my new sock loom. I hope it turns out okay. I haven't crocheted since I was young, but appreciate the skill in others!

January 18, 1987, Section 1, Page 22Buy Reprints
The judge in a murder trial, angered that the police seized documents in the home of the chief defendant while jury selection was under way, has put off the trial to determine if the case involving members of the Billionaire Boys Club has been tainted.
The club, a group of affluent young men from the wealthy enclaves of Los Angeles, was started by Joe Hunt as a business and social club about three years ago. Mr. Hunt, now 27 years old, and other members of the club are accused of killing two wealthy men, one in Redwood City, near San Francisco, and one in Beverly Hills.
Jury selection in the murder of Ronald G. Levin, whom prosecutors say was killed in his Beverly Hills home for ''profit and revenge,'' began Nov. 6. It has taken more than two months and an examination of more than 400 potential jurors to find a panel to hear the case here. Boxes of Documents Taken
Last week, as the last of the jurors was being selected, a group of investigators who had a search warrant signed by a judge in northern California entered a mansion in Bel Air, where Mr. Hunt is staying, searched his rooms, office and trash baskets and left with boxes of documents. The mansion is owned by Bobby Roberts, a talent agent whose daughter Brooke is Mr. Hunt's close personal friend.
Investigators from northern California, where Mr. Hunt and three others are scheduled to go on trial this spring in the murder of the father of a club member, would not explain the urgency of their missions in interviews Friday.
But an affidavit supporting the search warrant said that the investigators were seeking business records of the club and that they learned about the records only recently from Dean Karny, a former leader of the club who is the state's chief witness in both trials.
''We knew nothing about it,'' said Judge Laurence J. Rittenband of Superior Court, expressing anger that he had not been informed beforehand. ''Neither the prosecutor nor I nor the defense knew about it until it was an accomplished fact. I'd like to know what was taken and whether it involves the preparation of the case.'' Action Taken Reluctantly
To that end, Judge Rittenband said he would delay the trial before him for up to 10 days to enable the defense attorneys, Arthur H. Barens and Richard C. Chier, to reclaim the documents they said they needed for trial. The judge also said he took the action reluctantly, because a jury of 10 men and 2 women had finally been selected.
Mr. Barens termed the seizure of some 80 defense exhibits, which investigators found in Mr. Hunt's rooms, ''an encroachment into defense territory,'' and asserted in court the other day: ''I've spent two years preparing for this trial. I want the documents back.''
But John Gordnier, a senior official in the State Attorney General's office, the agency in charge of the second murder case, denied that the seized material was connected to the current trial.
''We were aware of the jury selection,'' he said in an interview Friday. ''And there is absolutely nothing that will have an impact on the case in Los Angeles.''
On the same day, Mr. Barens filed a 26-page motion seeking dismissal of the murder charges against Mr. Hunt. He termed the search ''catastrophic'' because it allowed the prosecution to examine defense strategy, including how the defense intended to impeach or cross-examine each prosecution witness. Ordinarily, the prosecution would not be entitled to see such information. Papers on Cross-Examination
Mr. Barens also said Mr. Hunt would testify in his own defense at his trial and that among the items seized were papers showing Mr. Hunt undergoing a practice cross-examination by his attorneys.
The prosecutor, Fred Wapner, whose father, a retired Superior Court judge, stars in the television drama ''The People's Court,'' said he had not seen the defense material.
But the defense argued that in all likelihood Les Zoeller, Mr. Wapner's chief detective, who has worked on the case for the last three years, went along on the search and had seen some of the material. Mr. Zoeller did not inform Mr. Wapner that he was going to conduct the search.
''Detective Zoeller knew that Mr. Hunt was actively involved in the preparation of his defense and, therefore, had to be on notice that confidential materials, unreachable through prosecutorial discovery, might be, and in fact were, on the premises,'' Mr. Barens said in his motion to dismiss the case. Inquiry Into Another Slaying
Mr. Barens said in court papers that among the eight officers who searched Mr. Hunt's room in the Roberts mansion were Mr. Zoeller and two other detectives, both assigned to a Hollywood precinct.
Mr. Barens said the presence of the two Hollywood detectives, whom the police confirmed were assigned to investigate the slaying last fall of Richard Mayer, a 20-year-old factory worker, indicated that the search was a ''device to disguise an illegal search.'' Mr. Karny's name had been linked to the Mayer slaying, the police said last month.
John Vance, the prosecutor in charge of the northern California murder trial, denied that the search of Mr. Hunt's home had anything to do with the Mayer case, but would not comment further.
Mr. Mayer's body was found Oct. 18 in a trunk in a Hollywood motel after a man checked in, paid the bill for a week and told the motel receptionist not to enter the room. The cause of Mr. Mayer's death is still undetermined, a coroner's spokesman said Friday. Witness Is Named in Note
Shortly after Mr. Mayer was slain, Mr. Vance said in court that the name of Mr. Karny, the prosecution's chief witness against Mr. Hunt in both cases, had ''come up'' in connection with the Mayer death.
Investigators found a note that said ''mean Dean Karny is at it again,'' and also found a receipt in the name of Mr. Karny's father.
This week the Hollywood police informed Judge Rittenband that Mr. Karny was not a suspect in the Mayer slaying, the judge said in court. Mr. Karny, a law school graduate, is now in a state witness protection program.
While the Hollywood police would not say why their detectives were rummaging around in Mr. Hunt's trash, they did say the Mayer murder investigation was ''wide open'' and they were trying to determine who may have planted evidence against Mr. Karny in an effort to discredit his testimony.
Mr. Karny helped investigators find the body of Hedayat Eslaminia, whose son Reza, a former member of the Billionaire Boys Club, is also charged with his father's murder. Mr. Levin's body has never been found.

(Im)Patient Connection? Putting the "Care" Back into Healthcare with Mobile Engagement [Upcoming Event]
Mobile is a total game changer in everything we do. It's recently overtaken desktop computers in user numbers, and mobile apps had a whopping 1.4 billion users in 2015 — even trumping social media. These stats are only projected to climb.
Mobile has infiltrated nearly every aspect of our lives, including how we manage our health. For patients, it's become the go-to way to research, track, and maintain their health. For example, Zocdoc makes life easier by giving patients control — letting them see doctor availability and book appointments online instead of having to wait for their provider's response. And other apps, like FitStar Virtual Trainer, Noom Coach, HealthTap, and 100,000+ more, play a part in how they maintain their health, manage existing medical conditions, and stay on track with their fitness goals.
The one thing that hasn't changed? How patients connect with their healthcare providers. They still need to dial a 1-800 number and wait on hold to speak with a representative. Even the aforementioned Zocdoc only solves the scheduling headache. Where's the urgent care when you need it? Each year people spend roughly 3.6 billion minutes on hold. That's a lot of time wasted. Prognosis: not good.
Finding the right remedy.
Industries from retail to financial services have adopted mobile to connect with customers, and this has forever reshaped the way people expect to communicate in terms of immediacy and efficiency. When it comes to their health, these expectations are not being met.
However, mobile messaging could be the fix to long, frustrating wait times with the doctor's office. Apps, SMS, and the mobile device as a platform itself allow for continuous, always-on engagement. Aside from transactional benefits, they also help strengthen the relationship between patients and providers. Because if there's anyone you need to trust, it should be your doctor.
From February 29 – March 4, stop by our booth at the 2016 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society's (HIMSS) annual conference and exhibition in Las Vegas. We'll be at booth #11028 and kiosk #15102 in the Connected Health Area. There's still time to register, so get your tickets before they're gone!
To examine this further, join me at HIMSS 2016's Connected Health Theater, where I'll present "(Im)Patient Connection? Drive Mobile Engagement!" I'll discuss current mobile trends and the role of mobile in creating a healthy, long-term relationship with patients and customers — both improving the way they connect with healthcare providers and enhancing the experience of researching, selecting, and understanding their insurance coverage. I'll be speaking on Tuesday, March 1, from 10am to 10:30, so stop in to hear more about the future of healthcare connection.
In the spirit of connectedness and making a difference, we're donating to charities this year in lieu of giveaways. Choose between The Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and we'll donate $1 to that organization on your behalf.
They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but we hope you'll take home these findings and share them with your team. See you next week!

She woke up
She took a bath
She dressed lazily
She looked in the mirror
She sighed
She went out
No breakfast
No food thought
Just ideas
Just determination
Just excitement
She walked to town
She smiled at everyone
She breathed heavily
She sat down on a bench
She stared at the sky and the lake
She started to write
She endlessly wrote
Without rereading her words
Without checking what she wrote
Without second thoughts
She smiled
She sighed
She smiled
She closed her eyes
After fifteen pages of free writing
After fifteen pages of nonsensical thoughts
She closed her notebook
She walked around the park
Her day would have ended peacefully if only people she knew didn't see her
Her day would have ended peacefully if only people she knew didn't talk to her
She bumped into seven random people whom she knew from somewhere
Some saying hi and asking her whereabouts
Some saying hi and asking her for coffee
She smiled and answered them politely
She smiled and told them "some other time, sure".
She walked faster afraid that she might bump into more people
She saw the public pool empty
She went for a swim
She wore a cap and goggles
She wore a swimsuit she just bought
The water is cold
But nothing is colder than her heart right now
She swam for hours
She never stopped
She saw the sun preparing to bed
She went inside the shower room
Inside she let the water make the loudest noise
While she wept in a shower room cubicle
She poured her heart out in tears
Her fist pounding on her chest
She cannot stop the pain
She cannot stop herself
After an hourcof uncontrollable crying
She dried herself and wore her clothes
She walked home talking to the moon
She arrived and nobody's there to welcome her home
She went to the roof
She gazed upon the blissful moon
She realized she cried because she bumped into people
She realized she cried because her day didn't go according to her plan
She sighed
She smiled back at the moon
She decided to write again
She went to bed and scribbled instead
Until she fell asleep

Until her last tears of the day trickled down her cheeks as she closed her eyes to sleep
A snippet of her, one day in a month. Now you know what happens to her at least once a month. Unless someone stabilizes her or balances her insanity, she drives herself to writing and isolating herself more from the world.

Quit Calling Me an Oreo: My Blackness is Enough
White-washed, coconut, Oreo – I've heard it all. "Head in the books all the time, with your big words, think you're too good for the rest of us huh?" Actually, no darling I don't. I'm no better than anyone else – just skin, bones, and flesh with some hair at the top of the head. Human. I guess the difference is that I choose to explore my potential while ignorant folks don't. Last time I checked that was neither a crime nor a denial of my ethnicity. Who decided what "black" was anyway? Grills, and slang and "whaddup my nigga" doesn't make you black, after all, a Chinese dude could do all that, laughably perhaps, but it's not impossible. Is it weave or lacefronts or an obnoxious name like Bon Qui Qui and an attitude to match? I'd really hate to think so.
The only thing that makes us Black people is our skin colour and our collective struggle. That's it. Sure there are stereotypes: athleticism, large penises, and all that. But if we take these to be the definition of Black then poor Tyrone with his chocolate brown skin, cottony hair, stringy limbs and small genitalia isn't black huh? Well that's just ridiculous. If there's a set-in-stone formula of what constitutes "blackness," and a black person's character, attitude and physical attributes don't add up, well then the logical conclusion is that no matter their skin tone, they're not black, or at least, not black enough.
I find it tremendously disturbingthat some of my people really think like that. It's pathetic that they believe that white people have a monopoly on proper English, strong vocabularies, intelligence, self-respect and success. This, dear reader, is mental slavery. No wonder some Blacks are still so bitter about the physical slavery that ripped our ancestors from their motherland. I am not belittling that, but why are we blind to the prison we put ourselves in? We treat English like a disease, academic success like the plague and anyone who embraces either like a traitorous anomaly.
So what, I can't booty clap, I don't think I'm a bad bitch, and I'm not ghetto, and truthfully, not a lot of black women are like that. And still this stereotyping persists, pushed on by ignorant black people. Black isn't an attitude, a clothing style, a dialect, or an accent. Yes, there is history, there is culture and there are traditions, but not every single black person can identify with that. At the end of the day, Black is a race, the colour of my skin. If you think that makes me an Oreo, well that's all you.
Oh white guys can do "black" too:

One of the Most Powerful Things I've Seen
A few years back, when we were joyfully and intimately involved with a church that met in the back carport of a motel, we met a guy named Jon.
Jon (not his real name) was:
-bound to a wheelchair
-fully paralyzed on the left side of his body from head to toe
-part-time homeless, full-time hopeless, sometimes pulled enough money together to get a motel room for a short stint
-⅔ drunk, ⅓ chain smoker
-spit on and ridiculed by a local bully (who's story I will share another time)
-riddled with Bed Bug bites all over his body
-majorly marginalized by the world
-And, one of the sweetest, gentlest human beings I've ever met
Jon's story, still to this day, doesn't have a sweet bow wrapped around it. I wish this story ended with Jon fully healed and now a pastor to his community, but that's not how it always goes.
Jon obviously needed an overwhelming amount of help, in all areas. What could that look like? No one could meet all of Jon's needs. No one could free him from all of his emotional, physical, and spiritual wounds, except Jesus. Thankfully, that is Jesus' job, and please agree in Jesus' name for complete healing for Jon right now!
We are in a 10000minutes series on the "One Anothers" in the Bible, and we are finishing up 3 weeks on the specific invitation to bear with one another. Last week we practiced this by putting up with each other and praying for our enemies. This week we are talking about the other half of the word to bear with.
To bear with = to hold up, support, lift up until natural growth occurs.
My brother-in-law Ben, who was living with us at the time, taught me a lesson that I will never forget. Ben was a huge part of that church community with us. One day he came home and told us that he had been at Jon's room helping him with his Bed Bug situation. After seeing the hundreds of red bites all over Jon's body and knowing how easily they transfer to others, I will admit that I was conflicted. Ben said that he was going to go over to Jon's room everyday for 2 weeks, bath him and clean his room with special cleaners. And so he did. For 2 weeks, everyday, Ben went over and re-presented Jesus in that room, in that bath, and to the whole community.
This story is a beautiful picture of bearing with one another. Ben couldn't heal Jon, but he could bear with him, while praying for healing and deliverance. The Biblical image for bearing with is the little stick that is used to hold up a plant that needs support until it is ready to live on it's own, until it's roots are deep enough to get all of the nutrients it needs.
Who needs you to bear with them, hold them up, support them, wrap them with courage, re-present Jesus to them?
Remember in 1 Peter 2, we are told that Jesus himself Bore (same word as to bear with) our sins. Yup, it's the same word. Think about it! What if Jesus took the sins and weights out of our hands so that our hands were free enough to lift one another's burdens? People, this is an order! This is the great invitation. At the end of my favorite passage in John 15, Jesus invites us Branches who are attached to Him, the Vine, to go and love one another!
Who is Jesus inviting you to bear with in this next season? Let's start looking and listening this week. This is our 10000minutes practice:
BEAR WITH ONE ANOTHER this week!

Brislen on Tech this week
Hi [[prefname]],
Welcome to Brislen on Tech, the weekly roundup of news and views from IITP and around the traps collated and commented on by Newsline Editor Paul Brislen.
ITx 2016
Three days, 150 sessions, 4036 tweets, 12 organisations, one heck of a party and a lot of full brains by the end of the week.
That's ITx 2016 and thanks to the 700-800 odd (some very odd) folk who came along for three days of brain stimulation but without the electrodes.
I got to float about between sessions with no real agenda other than finding people I wanted to hear or joining some sessions because I was already in the room when they started (scientific, I know) and so the conference I attended ended up looking only vaguely like the conference I mapped out on the handy app.
Full credit to the IITP team for their hard work bringing together 12 different organisations under one roof and making it all work well.
We are still chasing some folk who have agreed to write blog posts about their sessions or experiences (you know who you are) so check out the Techblog site next week for more - there are already some fantastic summaries up. I'll post more as they come in.
Every conference I ever went to needed more coffee carts in more locations (someone sponsor that, OK?) and more power points but the two biggest bugbears of conference goers everywhere (wifi and food) were superb although I suspect I've put on about two kilos in weight. Those ice creams were a smash hit.
And speaking of smash hits, the Excellence in IT Awards was tremendous fun. Too much for one party-goer who danced so hard they ended up dislocated their knee (OUCH) but mostly a great night out. Not too many awards but really good ones, some genuinely shocked winners (always a treat) and Raybon Kan to keep us all on track and entertained.
Thanks to the sponsors who made it all possible. ITx wouldn't be possible without our sponsors and we have had great support our Platinum Sponsors, Axios Systems and Wellington City Council and also from our Gold Sponsors Orion Health, MBIE, Alemba, Designer Tech, and ServiceNow and a heap of others.
So thanks again to everyone for making it a great three days. The next one is slated for 2018 so diary ahead and we'll see you all there next time.

Awards photos are up!
While some fantastic photos from the 2016 NZ Excellence in IT Awards have been floating around on social media since the night, the official photographer's photos are now up!
So much energy, so much buzz, so much excellence in the room. The awards were a massive celebration.
Here's a few, with the full set available on the IITP Facebook page:

Brand refresh for IITP coming
For those who weren't at ITx for the sneak peek from IITP President Ian Taylor, look out next week for some big news from IITP, or should that be ITP? There's a significant brand refresh coming shortly...
Microsoft wins landmark case
This one has been brewing for quite some time and has far reaching implications.
In 2013, Microsoft was ordered by a US district court judge to hand over emails pertaining to a US legal case but which were held in Ireland. Microsoft provided account information kept on its US servers but refused to turn the emails over, arguing that a US judge has no authority to issue a warrant for information stored abroad.
Today the Court of Appeals agreed with Microsoft and rebuffed the US government's case.
No doubt there will be more back and forth and more appeals from both sides before we're done but if this holds it will mark a turning point in the war on government intrusion.
Which leads to the idea of building a data haven and ensuring New Zealand takes advantage of its opportunities.
At this week's ITX 2016 conference, Asia Cloud Computing Association's executive director Mary-Ann Lim described New Zealand's place in terms of readiness for cloud access.
"New Zealand is in third place overall but is addressing some of the issues which have caused it to slip from the number two spot."
Domestic broadband, which appears not to take into account the rollout of the UFB and RBI projects, is listed as one of the areas where New Zealand can do better, but in terms of political stability, green electrical production, cybersecurity and privacy, New Zealand scores highly.
One potential fly in the "New Zealand as data haven" story is our role in the Five Eyes global spy network. But that aside, we could become home to the world's data without too much effort.

NZ Tech sector 'fastest growing' in New Zealand
NZTech's outgoing chair Bennett Medary says the tech sector is now the third largest export earner for the country and is the fastest growing sector.
Medary has stepped down as chair at the tech organisation's AGM and CEO Graeme Muller says New Zealand ICT's contributions to GDP growth has been "higher than any other OECD country from 2001 to 2013".
Muller says NZTech is working with the Institute of IT Professionals, the Ministry of Education and others to help accelerate the introduction of computational thinking throughout New Zealand schools. This is critical as most jobs in most sectors will have an enormous tech component. Children at school now will need skills of computational thinking, managing data, complex problem solving and being able to get computer systems to do what they need.
"Without these skills not only will our fast paced tech sector suffer, but so will our agri-sector which relies more and more on agri-tech, transport, construction, healthcare, and finance. They are all becoming tech sectors."
"The tech sector creating almost 100,000 jobs and growth throughout New Zealand making up eight percent of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) and contributing over $6.3 billion in exports," says Muller.

The Squale Tiger watch is the latest model launched during Baselworld 2016. This collectible limited edition Tiger watch is limited to only 200 pieces altogether(Black, Blue, Luminous). The new Tiger 2016 is a fusion of vintage and new design which makes the watch an instant classic. First introduced in 1987, the Tiger is nicknamed the "Baby Ploprof" because of the red pushbutton the releases the bezel.
The new limited edition Tiger is Made in Switzerland and powered by the very reliable Swiss Made ETA 2892-2 automatic movement.
The bezel is hand satin brushed to perfection. The bezel markings are filled with luminous material that makes it useable in low light conditions. This is a must-have for luminous fans.
One of the highlight of the Tiger Blue is the beautifully handfinished blue dial. It has a very light shine to it that reflects light beautifully when light falls on it, but not overly much. A dial that has to be admired in person to understand. The white and orange hour and minute hands makes time reading underwater easy.
And for improved visibility the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal has been enhanced with an anti-reflective coating on the inside.
The Squale Tiger Limited Edition comes with a black rubber strap.
Squale watches come with a 2 years Squale international warranty.

The research delivered through the STREAM programme can be classified across five themes.
Improving levels of service by better understanding the condition and performance of infrastructure systems.
Protecting river catchments as sustainable sources of water for human development as well thriving natural environments.
Ensuring safe and reliable supplies of potable water to protect public health and satisfy increasing demands.
Improving the reliability and efficiency of water services through improved knowledge of the networks that carry water and wastewater flows.
Developing wastewater treatment processes that exploit opportunities for resource recovery and, reuse.
Stream is the Industrial Doctoral Centre (IDC) for the Water Sector funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and companies who sponsor research projects.
The Stream programme is delivered by five UK academic centres of excellence in water science and engineering in the UK. Coordinated by Cranfield University and including Imperial College London and the universities of Sheffield, Newcastle, and Exeter, the programme enables talented researchers to develop their skills and careers, while obtaining an Engineering Doctorate (EngD) or PhD degree.
An EngD is a four year research degree awarded for industrially relevant research. The degree provides a more vocationally oriented approach to obtaining a doctorate in engineering commensurate with that of a PhD.

Australia's currency declined after ANZ said provisions for bad loans are likely to be about A$1.2 billion ($1.1 billion) in the second half of the year. National Australia Bank Ltd. last week allocated A$830 million for potential mortgage-related losses. New Zealand's dollar advanced as charts used to predict price movements signaled its five-day decline was overdone.
Australia's dollar weakened to 95.59 U.S. cents at 5:12 p.m. in Sydney from 95.62 cents late in New York on July 25. It earlier reached 95.27 cents, the lowest since July 9. The currency traded at 102.90 yen from 103.11 yen on July 25.
The Australian dollar extended its loss against the U.S. dollar in the past five days to 1.6 percent, the second-worst performer of the 16 most-traded currencies behind New Zealand's dollar, after Melbourne-based ANZ said in a statement that profit will fall as much as 25 percent due to the higher provisions.
Australia's dollar traded near its lowest in more than a week versus the yen after John Stewart, chief executive officer of National Australia Bank, said yesterday that losses from the U.S. housing slump may more than triple.
The world's largest banks and securities firms have posted about $468 billion in losses and writedowns since the subprime crisis started last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Australian companies including Babcock & Brown Ltd. and Allco Finance Group Ltd. are selling assets to raise funds after credit-market turmoil boosted debt costs.
Australia's dollar also weakened after National Australia Bank said its business confidence index fell 4 points to negative 8 in the second quarter, 18 points lower than a year ago. A reading below zero shows those expecting their industry to deteriorate in the third quarter outnumber those predicting an improvement.
