#EnjoyFairPlay: that's the name of the workshop for the young athletes of the upcoming HaBaWaBa International Festival, scheduled on June, from 17th to 24th, at Bella Italia & EFA Village in Lignano Sabbiadoro (Italy). That will be a ludic-educational seminar, as is Festival's custom, dedicated to one of the most important values of both sport and life: Fair Play. #EnjoyFairPlay will be presented by Belinda Ciulli, psychologist and psychotherapist, starting from the first day of Festival competitions, on June 18th.
Fair Play is one of the founding values of the HaBaWaBa International Festival, celebrated by the Champion Passport and by a special award that is given in every edition to most correct teams of both competitions, U11 and U9. Playing according to the rules, behaving honestly and respecting your opponent help kids to learn legality, respect, socialization and friendship and to create antibodies to dangers such as doping, bullying and any kind of discrimination.
Fair Play pushes children to develop qualities that can be used in any context and moment of their life, making them potential champions in sport and true models to other people in life.

8-year-old girl pulls pre-Viking-era sword from lake in Sweden
An 8-year-old girl in Sweden was skipping rocks on a lake near her family's summer home one day when she made an astonishing discovery over 1,000 years in the making.
Peering into the low waters of the lake, the young girl Saga Vanecek saw what she thought was a stick, and she dipped her hand in and pulled it out.
It wasn't a stick, though.
"I picked it up and was going to drop it back in the water, but it had a handle, and I saw that it was a little bit pointy at the end and all rusty," Saga explained. "I held it up in the air and I said 'Daddy, I found a sword!' When he saw that it bent and was rusty, he came running up and took it."
The sword is believed to be approximately 1,000 to 1,500 years old, dating back to the pre-Viking era, according to the Jönköpings Läns Museum, where the artifact will eventually be displayed.
The sword is 2.75 feet in length, and it is believed that the sword's leather and wood casing are what helped to preserve it for so long.
After the discovery was made, the museum conducted a sweep of the area in search of more artifacts, and they found a broach from around the same era as the sword. Mikael Nordström from the museum speculated on the find:
Why it has come to be there, we don't know. When we searched a couple of weeks ago, we found another prehistoric object; a brooch from around the same period as the sword, so that means—we don't know yet—but perhaps it's a place of sacrifice.
När åttaåriga Saga badade i somras trampade hon på något hårt och fann … ett järnålderssvärd! Idag söker våra…
Posted by Jönköpings läns museum on Wednesday, October 3, 2018
Nordström added, "It's not every day that one steps on a sword in the lake!"
Saga and her family had moved to Sweden from Minnesota in 2017. Her father Andy pointed out a rather interesting coincidence,"The cool thing is that I'm a huge Minnesota Vikings fan, and this looks just like a Viking sword!"
The Jönköpings Läns had kept Saga's discovery under wraps for months, so as to conduct their search uninterrupted. When it was finally was announced, though, a lively discussion emerged on social media, pondering if this meant that Saga would become Queen of Sweden. And, in good humor, the proposition was refuted.

So fun to do life alongside friends who were married near us, pregnant about the same time and celebrating babies together.
Little Rose is such a sweet one. She's busy blowing kisses, sharing giggles and being just sassy enough. I'm still so impressed with the pumpkin her Dad carved for her photo opp and I LOVE the chalkboard with her details on it. So wish I had done this and so glad they've got all the info alongside her images. Enjoy!

Warner Bros. is preparing to launch its Shared DC comic book movie universe in 2016, but the studio also has a couple of noteworthy projects in development based on comic titles released under DC's Vertigo imprint. One is The Sandman, which creator Neil Gaiman is helping director Joseph Gordon-Levitt to develop, while the other is Fables, based on the dark fantasy/Noir graphic novel series created by Bill Willingham.
Fables gained a helmsman in Nikolaj Arcel (A Royal Affair) back in 2013, but there's not been much progress to report on since then. However, thanks to a fresh update from the project's producer, David Heyman (who's recently been out and about doing promotional work for Paddington), we can now confirm that Arcel is still onboard as director and is currently working on the Fables movie script with a very geek-friendly screenwriter.
Fables is a comic series that began its run in 2002 and revolves around various well-known folklore and fairy tale characters (Snow White, Jack Horner, Goldilocks, Prince Charming, and so forth), who now reside in a New York community that is known as Fabletown, having been forced to leave their Homeland by a mysterious villain known as "The Adversary" some years ago. The Fables universe begs comparison to that of Once Upon a Time, but is overall more Noir-inspired and adult in nature than ABC's popular TV series.
CBR (via Empire) has learned from Heyman that Arcel penned a draft for the Fables screenplay, but that now a fresh script draft is being written by scribe Jane Goldman. The latter is perhaps best known for her multiple (not to mention, critically-acclaimed) comic book adaptation collaborations with filmmaker Matthew Vaughn; including, on the movies Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class, and the rapidly-approaching Kingsman: The Secret Service.
Goldman's also well-versed in the practice of adapting darker and more mature fantasy material, having scripted the Gaiman novel adaptation Stardust (also with Vaughn), The Woman in Black, and the upcoming Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children adaptation that Tim Burton is directing. Both First Class and Miss Peregrine's Home deal with themes about social outsiders and prejudice (as does Kingsman to a degree), which makes Goldman all the better a fit to adapt Fables to the big screen - something also indicated by the following comment from Heyman:
I'm drawn to stories about outsiders, and I think the Fables are outsiders. They're people torn from the place where they were raised, by The Adversary. They arrive in a New York City-type place, and how we're approaching is that they're people who are all separate, and how they ultimately have to form the community in order to survive. They're all inhabiting their own little universes within this world. But they have to form this community, and that really appealed to me. And I just think the characters are so vivid. And I also think the farm is, again, it's very human. That's what I like. It's a challenging film.
Heyman also served as a producer on the Harry Potter movies and is working on the upcoming spinoff Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them; each of which share certain ideas and elements in common with the universe of Fables. Both Heyman and Goldman are bringing their knowledge of pop art to the table here, which ought to blend well with Arcel's fresher perspective from working outside the studio system on such similarly dark pop culture adaptations as the Swedish-language Girl with the Dragon Tattoo movie (which Arcel co-wrote).
The Warner Bros.-backed Vertigo comic adaptations, generally-speaking, are expected to be the arthouse film equivalents of DC comic book movies, and that's shaping up to be true with both Fables and The Sandman; both of which sound quite promising right now.
If all goes well on these projects, then it could help to open the door for more Vertigo properties (which tend to be more varied and eclectic in their content than regular DC brands) to make their way to the big screen in the future. After all, TV networks have already begun to peruse through the Vertigo library of material, what with The CW launching an iZombie TV show this year and AMC actively developing a Preacher TV series to premiere in the foreseeable future.
We'll bring you more information on Fables when we have it.

A Different Approach To Pregnancy Care In Hurst Texas
We tend to take it for granted; but, live birth amongst mammals is quite an amazing occurrence. The changes that have to take place within the mothers body; in order that a new life can grow inside it; until the time comes for that life to emerge as a completely separate life form, are tremendous. The process is not always without complication and care has to be exercised during any pregnancy to ensure a healthy, defect free new born. In humans, we are aware of all this and we will usually adopt some form of Pregnancy Care In Hurst (or wherever else we may happen to be).
Using A Lifetime Family Wellness Center For Pregnancy Care In Hurst
When we think of pregnancy and heath matters we probably jump straight to obstetrics and gynecology; this is hardly surprising when you consider that the oldest known medical text is the Kahun Gynecological Papyrus from about 1800 B.C. Even today, these medical specializations play an important role in pregnancy and childbirth. However, during those important 9 months of pregnancy, there are other options now open to the pregnant mother to be; especially in the field of prenatal care.
During pregnancy, many of the changes in a woman's body are caused by the release of a hormone called relaxin. This hormone is responsible for loosening joints, ligaments and muscles so that the mother's body can change size and shape to accommodate the growing child. These bodily changes can easily lead to physical discomfort and backache in particular. Also, there will be noticeable changes in the expectant mother's center of gravity and incorrect posture can easily develop. Chiropractic care during pregnancy can correct posture defects and greatly reduce similar discomforts.
Get More Than Just relief From Backache Through Chiropractic Pregnancy Care
In effect, an expectant mother's brain and body are acting for two – herself and her unborn child. The holistic, natural methods for relieving nausea, headaches, cramps and other common discomforts that are practiced at a Lifetime Family Wellness Center have even been documented as not only keeping mother and child healthier; but, also shortening labor time and pain. Qualified chiropractic doctors like the husband and wife team of Jim Bob and Cindy Haggerton at HealthSource of Hurst have undertaken in depth study of Pregnancy Care In Hurst through chiropractic practices at their Lifetime Family Wellness Center.

A real bad handset with seriously poor battery 3 hrs max time and swoosh its gone
i appeal to sony to replace every set purchased as it is bad on thier behalf and doesn't suits the cerdibility of a company like erricson

I heard that the battery life is not that great but I liked the way it looked and bought it. I'm shocked that the battery just keeps on reducing and the phone goes off. Will replacing it with a standard battery BST 30 700 mAh solve the problem and will SE replace the handset
Salam no doubt it is a very very good set but its battery hmmmm...... if the company made its battery good no doubt it is going to win all challenges bcoz it conatins every thing but very low battery time.

Dean Batstone hosts the Songwriter's Showcase welcoming Low Country Hill (Paul Hogeterp) and Bruce Enloe for an evening of songs and stories September 22, at 8 pm. Doors open at 7 pm.
Low Country Hill is the moniker for Hamilton-based singer-songwriter Paul Hogeterp. In 2014 he released his self-titled, critically-acclaimed debut. Recorded by Dave King at a century barn on the outskirts of Hamilton, the album came together with the help of musical family and friends as well as seasoned luminaries Pat Sansone (Wilco) and Bill Dillon (Joni Mitchell, Peter Gabriel). One reviewer suggested Low Country Hill "evokes comparisons to such stalwarts as Hey Rosetta and Bon Iver, but yet really doesn't sound particularly like either. The tracks stand on their own as testaments to superlative songwriting and an album produced to showcase haunting, beautiful music (Floorshime Zipper Boots)."
Touring has taken Paul down logging roads in northern Ontario and through traffic jams on the Lionsgate Bridge in Vancouver - all for the joy of sharing the songs in intimate venues with music lovers. After nearly two years of performing, he burrowed in his basement studio for the last half of 2016 to write for his next record. The result of that effort is Guesthouse, a five-song EP recorded in May-July of this year. Dave King returns as producer and drummer while musical wizard Paul Linklater (Bidini Band, Colleen and Paul) plays bass and electric guitar for the project. Hogeterp is feeling blessed and lucky to have the (gentle giant) footprints of these creative and kindred spirits in his new work.

Stricker nearly blows big lead before winning season opener
Steve Stricker has a bad habit of losing big leads. He managed to slip back into his old habit of winning. Despite losing most of his five-shot lead in only six holes, Stricker steadied himself in time to kick off the new PGA Tour season with a three-shot victory in the Tournament of Champions on Monday in Kapalua, Hawaii.
Right when it looked as though Stricker was coming unglued, he made back-to-back birdies at the turn. That restored his lead to three shots, and no one got closer than two shots the rest of the way.
Stricker birdied his last hole for a 4-under 69 for his 12th career win, which moved him to No. 5 in the world ranking.
It was Stricker's his ninth PGA Tour win since he turned 40, and his eighth title in his last 50 tournaments.
As usual, he didn't make it easy on himself.
Martin Laird, Webb Simpson and Jonathan Byrd each got within one shot of Stricker on the front nine, but not for long. Stricker rolled in a 25-foot birdie putt on the par-3 eighth, pitched to tap-in range at the par-5 ninth and was on his way.
Laird closed with a 67, and his birdie on the last hole put him alone in second place. Byrd kept most of the pressure on Stricker along the back nine of the Plantation Course, but he bogeyed the 17th. He had a 68 and tied for third with Simpson, who had a 68.
"It was tough," Stricker said. "I never let up today. It's always tough trying to win, and it's even more tough when you have a lead like I did. I'm very proud of what I did today."
Woods to start season at Pebble Beach
Tiger Woods will return to the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am for the first time in 10 years. Woods announced on his Web site Monday that he will start his PGA Tour season Feb. 9-12 at Pebble Beach. Woods played at Pebble Beach for the 2010 U.S. Open and tied for fourth, but he hasn't played the Pebble Beach event since 2002, when he tied for 12th.

Georgia's Boykin wins Hornung Award
Georgia senior cornerback and return specialist Brandon Boykin won the Paul Hornung Award as the nation's most versatile player. The award is given out by the Louisville Sports Commission.
Boykin topped Arkansas' Joe Adams, Oregon's LaMichael James and Toledo's Eric Page for the honor in the award's second year. Boykin will receive the award on Feb. 2 in Louisville.
Boykin had 55 tackles, including 11 for loss, with three interceptions, two forced fumbles and a safety for Georgia. He also had 850 kickoff return yards and 180 punt return yards.
Boykin also played on offense. He had 103 yards rushing with a touchdown and five catches for 71 yards and two touchdowns.
He will play in the Jan. 28 Senior Bowl.
Report: Dyer picks Arkansas State
Michael Dyer is following Gus Malzahn back home, joining his former offensive coordinator at Arkansas State. A source told The Associated Press that the former Auburn tailback is transferring to Arkansas State to become a member of the Red Wolves.
Dyer was the first Auburn tailback to rush for 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons, but Coach Gene Chizik suspended him indefinitely before the Chick-fil-A Bowl for violating unspecified team rules.
Dyer was the offensive MVP of the national championship game as a freshman last season and was named to the Southeastern Conference Coaches' All-Freshman Team. He set the Auburn freshman rushing record with 1,093 yards, breaking the mark of 829 yards that was set by Bo Jackson in 1982.
He ran for 1,242 yards and 10 touchdowns this season.
Fans at BCS game lose seats to media
There was another ticket mess at a football championship game. Dozens of fans arrived at the Superdome in New Orleans for the BCS title game between No. 1 LSU and No. 2 Alabama to find their seats were taken for auxiliary press seating Monday night.
The top two rows of the upper deck were turned into an overflow area for the media, with one of the rows covered by tables.
The mix-up is similar to a situation that occurred at last year's Super Bowl in Arlington, Texas, where some temporary seating had not been inspected and couldn't be used. Some angry fans had to watch the game on televisions in a lounge at Cowboys Stadium.
One of the fans affected by the BCS ticket mix-up was Timothy Rodrigue of Denham Springs, La., who'd paid face value for a seat — $300 — that was beneath the retrofitted auxiliary press table. He said he was promised by ushers that he would be moved to the lower level of the stadium, also known as the plaza. Seats in that level are more expensive, but Rodrigue, who has is familiar with the dome from attending Saints games there, was not particularly interested in moving.
"The problem is, it's 30 minutes to kickoff and I don't want to go sit in the plaza level if I'm not going to be able to see the game now," he said. "I want to be able to see what's going on."
Jason Field was among those escorted by stadium officials to the plaza with other fans.
"I bought a ticket for a certain seat and I tried to go there and it turned out to be full of press," said Field, an LSU alum who's back in school in Baton Rouge.
Asked how much he paid for the ticket, Field responded: "Way too much."
Angels, Kendrick agree to 4-year deal
All-Star second baseman Howie Kendrick agreed to a $33.5 million, four-year contract with the Los Angeles Angels, passing up a chance to hit the free-agent market after next season.
The move was the latest in a busy off-season spending spree for Angels owner Arte Moreno and new general manager Jerry Dipoto.
The 28-year-old Kendrick batted .285 with a career-best 18 homers and 63 RBI while committing just four errors in 140 games last year, earning a spot on his first AL All-Star team.
Los Angeles' payroll will be among the majors' biggest next season, with about $130 million already committed to 15 players. The Angels added Albert Pujols with a $240 million, 10-year deal, left-hander C.J. Wilson with a $77.5 million, five-year contract and reliever LaTroy Hawkins with a $3 million, one-year agreement.
Venus Williams out of Australian Open
Venus Williams withdrew from the Australian Open on Monday, prolonging her absence from the tennis tour because of an autoimmune disease that can cause fatigue and joint pain.
The seven-time Grand Slam title winner announced on Twitter and her Web site that she wouldn't play in the year's first major tournament, which starts next week. She added, though, that she plans to be back in action next month.
Williams hasn't played competitively since Aug. 29 at the U.S. Open. Two days later, she pulled out of that tournament, revealing that she'd been diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome.
The 31-year-old American is a former No. 1 who is 100th in this week's WTA rankings. She's dealt with a series of health problems, including a hip injury that forced her to withdraw from last year's Australian Open, and a left knee injury that kept her on the sideline between Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in 2010.
Since reaching the semifinals at the 2010 U.S. Open, Williams has played only 11 matches.

When I started writing my blog post "Great effort, but no bounce: why Greens flunked the party conference season" earlier this week, I agonized for a while over the choice of language I was using. I've always endeavoured to be a critical friend to colleagues within the Green party, but felt that our recent leadership change represented a rupture with the past that we need to grasp with both hands and exploit to start doing things differently. I therefore went for a deliberately more eye-catching stance in my choice of language. It got noticed.
The post prompted quite a flurry of responses, many of them quite critical. Some points, including the fact that I under-estimated the importance of a poll bounce received after the conference were fair, because whilst it was transitory, it's existence pointed to an electorate that isn't completely hardened to our appeal.
I'm less convinced by those that pointed to a perceived naivety in (what they viewed as) my willingness to buy into the current political consensus around austerity, as well as an argument that we should not be putting our energies into a costed and credible policy platform whilst standing shoulder to shoulder with protestors against the austerity measures.
Whilst I usually respond to those readers who make comments on my posts within the body of each individual piece, I really wanted to make a more substantial response on this occasion, as I feel this debate touches upon some of the difficulties I have with a current body of thought within the Green Party.
Crucially, I don't actually disagree with the substantive analysis that my critics made of the current financial crisis. I see myself as broadly on the socialist end of the green political spectrum and regular readers will know that passion for social justice and reducing inequality infuse my activism, both within the Green Party and my activities without. My frustration in those to blame for the parlous state of the British economy is no different from those who responded, although I do feel at times we need to lose the vitriolic anger and engage more constructively with our opponents. The diagnosis of how we respond to this is the nub of the problem though.
Tom Chance wrote a really excellent analysis of the Green Party's historical weakness in selling our economic policy coherently, which is very closely aligned with my thinking. I'd really recommend you take a look as it is very compelling. What both he and other prominent Green activists such as Caroline Allen have consistently argued for, is that we sharpen our policy-making process and expect those who strive to leadership within the party to invest more of their political capital in championing paradigm-shifting policies that can be sold to the party membership and then beyond to the electorate. Whether we disagree fundamentally with the rationale and assumptions on which the current public debate is being fought, we need to address it in the terms that dominate voter perceptions of the crisis.
Unfortunately, there are those within the Green Party who see this as a distraction, arguing instead that creating such a credible platform is "… a genuine diversion from the job at hand and a complete waste of time", pointing to engagement in anti-austerity protest and reforming an unorganised activist base that is needs engaging in their communities as more of a priority. The latter points have some validity: I've always advocated listening to and embedding ourselves in the work of civil society organisations within our constituencies and strongly believe we need to improve our coherence and effectiveness as an organisation (progress in which I'm confident that Natalie Bennett will bring).
The truth is that we need to value and respect the benefits that both approaches begin to our success. Getting across our passion and distinctive critique of the partisan political narratives nurtured by political leaders and the media is essential. But presuming that we can project a credible voice in our activism and electoral battles that isn't predicated on a carefully thought-out political narrative is the sort of dangerous thinking that leaves us marooned in low polling numbers and the destination for the minority of protest votes that I've argued against in the past. I'm not claiming this isn't going to be difficult and require more strategic planning, but it is more essential than ever.

Airtel Is Offering 30GB Free Data; Here's How You Can Claim It
The leading telco in the country, Bharti Airtel has come up with a new programme called VoLTE Beta programme meant for some selected users only.
For those who are not aware of the term, VoLTE, it basically stands for Voice Over LTE. The concept essentially means voice calls over 4G LTE connection. And with this technology in use, some selected airtel users can experience HD quality crystal clear voice with faster call setup time with its VoLTE technology.
Reliance Jio, with its entry into the telecom sector in India back in September 2016, was the first and only telco to offer VoLTE services in the country. The VoLTE Beta programme was launched for the purpose of testing new technologies and to get free data benefits in return.
The services of the programme, however, for the time being, are available in some selected circles of the entire country, including Mumbai, Maharashtra, Goa, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Karnataka, Chennai, and West Bengal.
Airtel has come up with a VoLTE Beta programme, allowing users to test out the technology and, in exchange, avail 30GB of free data.
The free data will be credited to the user's accounts in three installments – first 10GB will be credited when the user successfully enable VoLTE switch, 10GB on providing feedback on VoLTE services at the end of the fourth week, and another 10GB be credited on providing feedback on VoLTE services at the end of the eight week. Airtel also notes that the beta users might face network fluctuations and will be required to share feedback on a regular basis.
Under the offer, Airtel users will be entitled to a total of 30GB free data, however, it will be provided to beta users in three parts. The first 10GB data will be enabled on downloading and enabling the VoLTE switch, another 10GB on providing feedback after the fourth week while the final 10GB of data will be given on providing feedback after the completion of the eighth week.
Airtel also warned their beta users that during the test they will come across some network fluctuations and will also be required to provide feedback regularly.
To be a part of this programme one also need to have a VoLTE-enabled smartphone, Airtel 4G SIM, the latest operating system and VoLTE Switch enabled. Now the next step is to check whether you are eligible or not for the VoLTE Beta programme.
For that, just simply head over to the Airtel's programme official site http://www.airtel.in/volte-circle. The interested customers should also make sure that they go through the Terms and Conditions for VoLTE Beta programme before sign up.

Self-studying multiple Riemann integrals
As the title says, I would like to self-study multivariable real analysis (integration, specifically; the Riemann integral) and I need some recommendations (resources, books, videos, ...).
I'm from Croatia and got my hands on some Croatian notes about multivariable real analysis so if some of the things I mention don't make sense, please let me know and I'll try to clarify. The notes I got aren't suitable for self-study, but I thought it might be useful to mention what they contain.
The notes start of with a review of the single variable case (Darboux sums, properties of the Riemann integral). Then we look at a bounded function $ f:[a,b]\times[c,d]\rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ and define the appropriate Darboux sums and integral. Very often, it is emphasized that it is important that the domain is a rectangle whose sides are parallel with the coordinate axes. After that, the notes deal with Fubini's theorem. Then the notes deal with some properties of Darboux sums:
* Every lower Darboux sum is smaller than every upper Darboux sum.
* A bounded function $ f:A=[a,b]\times[c,d]\rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ is integrable on A iff $ \forall \epsilon > 0 \ \exists $ subdivision P of the rectangle A so that $ S(P)-s(P) <\epsilon$
After that:
- Areas of sets in $ \mathbb{R}^{2} $.
- Proof of Lebesgue's theorem (something about oscilations)
$$ O(f,c) = \inf _{c\in U} \sup _{x_1,x_2 \in U \cap A} | f(x_1) - f(x_2)| $$
- Properties of the double integral (linearity, ...)
- Change of variables in a double integral $ \int_{D} f = \int_{C} (f \circ \phi) \cdot | J_{\phi} |$
- Integral sums and Darboux's theorem
- Functions defined via integral $ F(y) = \int_{a}^{b} f(x,y) dx $
- Multiple integrals (n-dimensional domain)
- Integrals of vector functions
- Smooth paths
- Integral of the first kind
- Integral of the second kind and differential 1-forms
- Green's theorem
- Multilinear functions
- Areas of surfaces
- Differential forms
- Stokes' theorem and its applications
- Classical theorems of vector analysis (Gauss' theorem - divergence theorem?, classical Stokes' theorem, ...)
Since it's for self-study, it would be cool if the books (videos, ...) contained detailed proofs and examples because I want to be able to make valid arguments for claims such as these:
The notes I've got ask such questions as "Does a disk have an area?", "Does a triangle have an area?" where area is defined as:
Definition. We say that C has an area if the function $ \chi _C $ is integrable on C, i.e. on some rectangle that contains C. In that case, the area of C is $ \nu (C) = \int _C \chi _C $ where:
$\chi _C (x,y) = \begin{cases} 1, (x,y) \in C \\ 0, (x,y) \notin C \end{cases} $
and C is a bounded subset of $ \ \mathbb{R}^2 $.
Another example:
$ C =\{ (x,x) | x\in\mathbb{R} \} $
C has a (Lebesgue) measure of zero.
The notes say that the argument "C is just a rotated x-axis" is not valid because $ d(k , k+1) = (k+1) - k = 1 < d(f(x_{k_1}), f(x_k)) $ so we have a rotation and "stretching".
My background: I've got a good understanding of real analysis in one variable ($\epsilon - \delta$ proofs, sequences, continuity and differentiability of real functions of a real variable, the definite and indefinite Riemann integral of functions in one variable (Darboux sums), Taylor series). I'm familiar with the following concepts in $\mathbb{R}^n$: open, closed and compact sets, sequences and limits, connectedness and path connectedness, continuity and differentiability of real multivariable functions, local extrema and the mean value theorem. I also speak German, so suggestions of videos and books in German are also welcome.
Please let me know if you need more information or clarifications. Thanks in advance for your replies.

The book Elementary Classical Analysis by Jerrold E. Marsden and Michael J. Hoffman seems to be the kind of book I am looking for. Are there any similar books available, preferably books that contain examples like the ones I mentioned above?

The absolute best book(s) on multivariable analysis is Kolk and Duistermaat:
It is extremely!! thorough, and it does things the best way possible.
Half of the book are devoted to problem statements. And the problems are very well chosen. No mindless computations from calculus, but rather tough (but not TOO hard) proofy questions. If you want to master multivariable, this is the book to go to.
Second, there is Hubbard, Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Forms: A Unified Approach
Be sure to go for the 4th or 5th edition.
Less rigorous at times, but an amazing introduction to differential forms which are explained very intuitively. Best introduction I've seen. The book also contains an intro to Electromagnetism from a forms point of view.
The standard is of course Spivak:
I consider it to be too dense and too short to be really useful. But I do think the exercises are particularly well chosen.

Temple of the Sun, Machu Picchu, Peru
[Canon 10D; 6.4 minutes at f/7.1; ISO 400]
This is from last year's trip to Peru, and my very intersting night visit to the ruins at Machu Picchu. My guide and I were the only ones there...quite an experience! The Temple of the Sun is regarded as one of the most important places at Machu Picchu; when the site was occupied it served both as a place for religious ceremonies and an astrological observatory. At a certain time of year the sun rises above the mountains at dawn and its beams enter a small window (I believe the one high on the wall in this photo) to fall precisely on a key spot on the sacred stone within the temple walls. The reddish glow in this image is from a large dam that is a few miles downriver. The stone walls were "painted" with a small flashlight.
I am returning to Peru at zero-dark-thrity on the 30th (only 6 hours away now) and will be gone until July 15th. There may be an update or two posted from the Andes while I am away, but I make no promises.

Unfortunately it is a sad truth that women still get paid less than men, now at $0.77 less per dollar than men. I've always wondered why? If women are getting more and better education than men and it has been proven that companies with a higher rate of women executives tend to do better, why is it still a problem in 2011 that women can't get an equal pay rate as their male counterparts?
Excelle explores some of the stereotypes and myths surrounding this issue:
- Men are assertive...Women are aggressive. When men have ideas they speak up, are heard, are paid attention too. The more a woman speaks up the more she is looked at as being too aggressive, trying to hard, or bitchy.
- Men are passionate...Women are emotional. We're humans. When we feel strongly about something it is in our nature to express our inner most thoughts, but unfortunately it's seen as a trait of weakness when women speak up about their passion.
- Men scream...Women mutter. Even if the idea is silly or irrelevant, the fact that a man is willing to speak up is the reason why they are taken more seriously than women.
- Men steer...Women support
- Men are casual...Women are coquettes. The moment women showcase their more fashionable side at their jobs, they are almost always seen as being inappropriately dressed. Too much cleavage, too much leg, and you're looked as the office slutbucket.
What I liked about this article is how they offered advice to women for how to be an ambitious woman while tackling the misogynistic myths. Check them out and tell me what you think!

KANSAS – A convicted rapist who was recently released on parole from prison is back behind bars for sexually assaulting a 7-year-old.
23-year-old Corbin Breitenbach, who is a registered sex offender, was released from prison six weeks ago.
He had been sentenced to 68 months for choking and raping a 22-year-old woman. He was released on parole in April.
Now, Breitenbach is accused of entering a condo where a 7-year-old girl was sleeping, choked her until she was unconscious and then raped her on the balcony.
Officials say he did not know the child.
The little girl was taken to the hospital.
Inside Edition tried to contact District Attorney Marc Bennett but calls were not immediately returned.
Breitenbach is being held on a $1 million bond.
He is facing several charges such as attempted capital murder, aggravated criminal sodomy and aggravated burglary.
His preliminary hearing is set for July 5. If he is convicted, he may face life in prison.

While it is true that a timeshare contract is a binding legal document, it is often mistakenly thought that such a contract cannot only be cancelled. In fact, most timeshare companies maintain that their contracts are non – cancellable. This misconception is perpetuated by timeshare companies and user groups that are funded, maintained and controlled by the timeshare industry.
The FHA 203k loan program provides home buyers the opportunity to buy and fix up a property, without exhausting their personal savings.
Mortgage Guaranty Insurance has lowered its borrower-paid premium rates to reflect the lower corporate tax rate signed into law in 2017.
The MGIC Investment principal subsidiary said the reduced rates are effective June 4.
"Over the last few months we've seen our competitors offer reduced borrower-paid premium rates to many, but not all, customers," said Patrick Sinks, CEO of the two companies. "Our decision to incorporate the new tax rate into our borrower-paid premiums allows all lenders and their borrowers to benefit from lower premiums."
As a result, borrower-paid mortgage insurance premium rates on the most popular premium plans have been reduced by an average of approximately 11%. Mortgage Guaranty Insurance said the reduced premium rates allow borrowers and lenders to access affordable and sustainable low-down-payment lending options.
"While we are lowering premium rates, MGIC will continue to have a strong capital position that protects policyholders while achieving returns for shareholders that are commensurate with the risk associated with low-down-payment lending," Sinks said.

Cars are the stars at these luxury high-rise residences
Miamians love their cars — so much, in some cases, that they fancy the idea of living with them. Or, at the very least, keeping them as close as possible at all times. Recognizing this, savvy real estate developers have found a way to make our car dreams a reality. Collaborating with elite brands and engineers, they've masterminded residences that allow buyers to enjoy elements of their favorite luxury auto brands, even when they're not on the road. Five homes where you can live life in the fast lane:
1. 1100 Millecento by Pininfarina
Developed by the Related Group and designed by Italian engineer and automobile designer Paolo Pininfarina — think Ferrari, Maserati, Fiat and Alfa Romeo — and architect Carlos Ott, 1100 Millecento was at the forefront of the luxury car-branded high-rise trend back in 2015.
The 42-story luxury condo is outfitted with elevators (high-speed, naturally), ceilings, walls and floors all done in Ferrari's trademark glossy red. Several of the common spaces in the building display massive black-and-white images of the legendary models designed by Pininfarina.
The contemporary lines of the units call to mind the sleek silhouette of a sports car — precisely the theme this project was meant to convey — while the appointments of top-grade wood and Italian leather further the aesthetic. 1100 South Miami Avenue, Miami; 786-296-1300; millecentomiamibrickell.com.
2. Aston Martin Residences
Set for completion in 2021, the Aston Martin Residences embody the refined exclusivity that defines the British brand's custom automobiles. "While most car manufacturers mass-produce, at the center of Aston Martin's message is that they are a limited-edition manufacturer," said Alicia Cervera Lamadrid, managing partner of Cervera Real Estate, the exclusive brokerage for Aston Martin Residences. "For their first residential project, they wanted a premier gateway international city, and, of course, Miami is perfect for that."
Aston Martin hallmarks are evident throughout the building, such as hand-stitched leather pulls in the sales gallery that mimic those used in the cars. The gallery's sofas are made using leather from the Scottish Highlands — where the climate ensures that hides grow thick and supple — the same leather used for the seats in Aston Martin's cars. An enormous carbon fiber reception desk, which Lamadrid says cost "gazillions of dollars," is one solid piece.
But perhaps most awesome of all is the collectors' line of completely customized DB11s that are being designed specifically for the building. And if you pony up to buy the building's $50-million penthouse, a track-only, $2,500,000 Vulcan — one out of only 24 made — is included. 300 Biscayne Boulevard Way, Miami; 305-573-7333; astonmartinresidences.com.
3. The Estates at Acqualina
Coast up the entrance ramp to Acqualina Resort & Spa, and one of the first things to catch your eye will be a line of gleaming Rolls-Royces parked out front. "People think we're in the luxury car-rental business," president of sales Michael Goldstein said. "Between Acqualina, the Mansions and The Estates, we have the largest concentration of Rolls-Royces — 59 of them — in the United States."
Because so many of the buyers at all three properties — including The Estates at Acqualina, set to open in 2019 — are car collectors, air-conditioned auto vaults are being built that will hold two, four or six vehicles. The Rolls in particular has become such an integral part of the culture here that plans are in the works for Braman Rolls-Royce to open an office on-site so residents can get their cars washed or serviced without having to leave home.
And in case you're thinking of buying at The Estates but you don't have a Rolls of your own, the property's house car is a custom velvet-red Rolls-Royce Ghost that will be at the disposal of owners who want to shop in style without having to get behind the wheel. 17885 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach; 305-933-6666; estatesatacqualina.com.
4. Porsche Design Tower
Porsche Design Tower in Sunny Isles Beach is the only building anywhere where residents can take their cars into their homes. This is possible via elevators also referred to as "Dezervators," named after developer Gil Dezer, who holds the patent on the lifts. "The idea was to make a building for people who love automobiles and literally want them in their living rooms," Dezer said of his collaboration with Porsche.
Each elevator services 44 apartments, but Dezer says lengthy waits are not an issue. "There's an app that's used to call the elevator in advance, and it will tell you how many cars are in front of you. If you're first in line, it's not even a two-minute lift, unless you're going ground-to-penthouse."
So why Porsche, as opposed to another luxury car manufacturer? "I'm a big Porsche fan," Dezer said, "and when you do these projects, you really have to mimic the brand." To that end, the building was built using the same woods, metals, carbon fibers and leathers that Porsche uses in its vehicles. Added Dezer: "We even went to the point of reducing the Porsche Design perfume to an oil and diffusing it through the vents, so you get the scent when you walk into the lobby." 18555 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach; 305-974-0500; designtowermiami.com.
5. Paramount Miami Worldcenter
Paramount Miami Worldcenter developer Dan Kodsi is reaching for the sky: He's building a skyport on the mega-building's roof in anticipation of flying cars. "After reading about Uber Elevate, we reached out to them to get more information," Kodsi said. "They want to create skyports around the country. They already have a helicopter option in Dubai. So one day you'll look at your Uber app, maybe in 10 to 15 years, and be able to choose that. The technology is already there."
Based on this intel, Kodsi decided to redesign the roof of the Paramount Miami Worldcenter while it is still under construction, enclosing a portion and installing a glass elevator that runs from the standard elevators up four floors to what today is an observatory but will eventually be converted into the skyport.
"We realized we could easily support the weight — people land helicopters on buildings, and these drones are lighter than helicopters. They're electric, smoother and lighter." Sales gallery at 1010 Northeast Second Avenue, Miami; 855-756-0123; paramountmiami.com.

This past Saturday Kelly and I headed over to Lucketts, VA for a wintery race, the Snotcycle. Lately, besides my commute into work, I've not been super motivated to hop on the bike for any amount of time. The single digit temperatures we've been having certainly make it a little harder to get excited for big rides!
So this race was a great reason to get out there and have some fun. I also figured once I got beat up on in the race, I might be just a little more likely to get out and ride more!
Well what a way to start the season! I entered the cat 1 field, and the singlespeed field to make the most of my time in the snow. With room for only two bikes, I used my singlespeed in both races, and Kelly was on her Scalpel in the women's Cat 1 race.
The race course was a fun 4 miles a lap or so, and it got gradually faster as we put more mileage onto it! By the end the snow was running pretty fast in a 10 inch strip, and if you went off that, it felt like you just hit a wall of snow!
I'm pretty sure everyone but the guy who flatted had a great day drifting through the snow and getting sideways! By the end of the day Kelly had placed second. I'm not sure where I placed, 5th in both races I think, but I did win some frozen toes!

Steelheading the Babine is never easy, just worth it.
FLOWING WATER, BY DESIGN, HAS A SANCTIMONIOUS way of pre-qualifying its clientele. Gentle riffles and wide gravel bars lure the false-casting masses, and boiling black holes rimmed with mossy ledge rock frighten them away. That said, I suppose there's really no great mystery why the easy flows produce the fussy little degree-candidate fish, while the spiteful, intimidating rivers hide the gluttonous thugs.
British Columbia's Babine River had been high on my list for quite some time and I jumped at the opportunity when I heard that a space had opened up during a prime fishing week.
"Big steelhead—but not an easy river to fish," I was told by my friend Tom Knopik who had fished the Babine many times. Naturally, I spun those phrases around in my mind for a few days and then conveniently extracted the words easy, big, and steelhead. Six months later I would fully realize the significance of that mistake.
On my first run downriver from Pierce Clegg's Norlakes Lodge, I noticed that my guide, Darcy Edwards, seemed most interested in stretches of water that an adult moose wouldn't try to cross. Darcy would slow down and peer intently into the deep, rolling holes, and then he'd rev up his throttle and race through the slower shallow runs. "That's a good looking pool," I cautiously announced as we sped through a long glassy fl at with a nice riffle at the top.
"Dickwater," Darcy said, "there ain't no steelhead in that." After passing a few more of those placid runs, we finally stopped along a steep shoreline littered with fallen spruce trees where Darcy pointed among the blow-downs into a foreboding cauldron of crashing water. "This here's where you're gonna spank their scaly asses," he announced, "Grab the rod with your heaviest sinking line and hop on out."
He was about to shove off and check on another angler downstream when he noticed me standing on the bank and staring at the river like an overwhelmed toddler. "How should I fish this?" I inquired with as little poise as I could manage.
"Wade deep and cast far," he shouted over the drone of his outboard. Fortunately, he noticed my look of complete trepidation at that point, so he tossed his anchor back onto the rocks and offered a bit more advice.
"See that big boiler out there in the middle," he pointed to an exposed rock the size of a Daihatsu that was dividing the flow into two raging currents, "the deke is just in front of it and behind it."
"The what?"
"The deke."
"What's a deke?"
"It's the sweet spot—the place where the steelhead like to hold," he explained.
"Okay. No problem on that deke part—but can I try it from the other side of the river?
"What for?"
"There's no room for a backcast here?"
He was crimping down the barb on a string-leech that looked like a trussed-up grackle; he paused and squinted from beneath his hat brim. "Can't you roll cast?"
"I can roll cast a dry line, but not this plastic-coated bridge cable."
Darcy casually reached for my rod and plunged out into the torrent to the upper limit of his waders. He then stripped off about sixty feet of line; looped it into five big coils, flipped the lead-core and the fly into the current, and skated it back to the top. With the tip pointing skyward, he paused briefly to load the rod and then with one seamless downstroke he fluently rolled and fired the entire line across the river. "It's all about timing," he shrugged. "The less effort you put into it the better."
The cast, itself, was remarkable. The fly landing perfectly on target and sweeping right through the deke was even more impressive. Most astonishing, though, was Darcy managing the entire gymnastic display without losing the inch-long ash that was dangling off the tip of his cigarette. Since I just stood there slack-jawed and silent, Darcy assumed that I had a full grasp of the concept so he hopped back in the boat and took off downriver.
Two hours later I was still standing in the same spot, but despite several hundred attempts to replicate Darcy's roll cast, my fly hadn't landed within a cannon shot of that quote/unquote deke.
When Darcy finally returned to check my progress, he found me halfway up the bank trying to tear down a spruce tree that had nabbed my fly. He killed his motor and sat watching me for a moment before making an intuitive assumption.
"Roll cast ain't quite workin', eh?" I shook my head, no.
"Catch anything?"
"This tree, four times."
Sensing my exasperation, Darcy took me downriver to a nice little run with a long gravel bar and plenty of room for a backcast. There was a current seam at the head of the pool that even I could recognize, and there was one slack-jawed underachieving steelhead holding in the middle of it. We worked on my roll cast for a while after releasing the fish, and then we took a lunch break as the clouds lowered and a cold, steady rain moved in from the west.
"Ya like that run?" Darcy asked through a mouthful of soggy sandwich.
"Yep. Nice to wade—easy to cast."
"Well that's good," he said as he packed away his lunchbox and yanked the starter rope on the outboard. "I'm glad we got your confidence up because you're gonna spend the afternoon at a nice little spot called Roll Caster's Hell."
By the fourth day of our trip I had perfected something that behaved a bit like a roll cast, but according to the trained observers in my party, my version more closely resembled someone trying to hack vines out of a tree with a fly rod. I did manage a semi-respectable fish tally by week's end, but more important than my number of actual steelhead hookups, I left the Babine with a whole hat full of new experiences.
In twenty-five years of fly-fishing, I had never before lived that moment of gasping, flailing panic when the current deftly removes your feet from the bottom and fills your carefully layered wader/garment ensemble with fortydegree water.
I had never gone through three dozen flies and thirty yards of leader material in a single week of fishing, nor had I ever lost both a fly line and a very pricey drag system to a single fish.
On this trip I met a freshwater psychopath capable of melting a line crease into my stripping finger, and in that same specie I found a picky bastard that requires even more casts per strike than the lowly snook. A snook eats a fly because it occasionally gets hungry; a steelhead occasionally eats a fly because it's a passive-aggressive manipulator of men.
This game is not for the delicately wired sport that requires constant action as the measure of a good fishing trip. It's a lonely and punishing grind; a meticulous regimen of cast, mend, swing it slow, step down . . . cast, mend, swing it slow, step down. If you don't catch a fish on the first pass through a good run, change flies and go through it again. Lather, rinse, and repeat.
And don't bother trying to re-focus after your mind has wandered and you can't remember your last dozen casts. You won't get a strike when you're expecting one—especially after you've made a cast that you're particularly proud of. If two fish on the Babine is a good day, and a six fish day is off the charts, then it doesn't take a math scholar to deduce the average number of hours between bites.
Incidentally, I found that singing and humming can pass the time quite nicely between sporadic steelhead events— especially if you can come up with a snappy little ditty that'll torment your subconscious for the entire week…
And ev-ery one was an (H)en-er-y
She never had a Willie or a Sam
I'm her eighth ole man, I'm (H)en-er-y
(H)en-er-y the Eighth, I am
Sometimes the eventual strike is just a subtle tick at the bottom of your swing, or it might be a slow tightening of your line that feels no different from the dozens of rocks and logs you've been snagging. But then comes the big grab—the one that reminds you why you signed up for steelhead in the first place. A strike so savage that you finally understand why your guide keeps telling you to quit trout fishing and get rid of that loop of slack line before something bad happens.
Even though this fish offers one of the greatest fl y rod challenges in fresh water, I am not a hopeless steelhead addict, nor will I ever become one. The best steelheading happens during the fall, and unfortunately so do many of my other rod and gun vices. Sure, I'll go again someday; and when I do I'll probably go back to the Babine. I've got too much invested in long underwear and bulletproof waders to go anywhere else, and fishing a more forgiving river would be like regressing to the bunny slopes after winning the giant slalom.
From a popularity perspective, one can only assume that the passing of seasons won't be too much for a river as merciless as the Babine. She's a long way from anywhere, and even if a new crowd of people put forth the effort every year, only a fraction of them will fall under her spell. Even if you love the Babine, she can still be a river you love to hate. But regardless of my return date, be it sooner or later, I have borrowed a small piece of the Babine experience that I'll carry with me wherever I fish.
It might be that single impulsive bonefish on the edge of the pack that's grubbing the bottom a little harder than the others, or maybe it's the feeding, tailing permit instead of the indifferent cruiser. Perhaps it's the fifth tarpon back in the string—the spontaneous follower—instead of the suspicious bell cow in the lead.
The time, the tools, and the place may be different, but the prerequisite for success will always be the same: as it was explained to me one frozen October morning on an indignant stretch of steelhead water, "you ain't really fishing, unless you're fishing that deke."

The picture is wonderful, is that a canvas background?
Also, how was it working with GFX50?
William Howell - April 28, 2017
Thank you for responding. The canvas backdrop is beautiful and it makes the subject central, all the while being visually appealing, adding something that is hard to define.
William Howell - April 28, 2017
Oooh, one other question, with GFX50 did you shoot RAW and if you did, how did you convert the files to tiff?

Love's a labrynth; It's destination hidden; Heart knows a puzzle.
When you miss someone; Your heart is lacking a piece; Her fragrance lingers.
To know loneliness; Requires meeting someone new; Why don't they tell you?
Patience comes in waves; The sea never parts these days; May we still be friends?
Lips pressed against glass; Their fullness swells like we kissed; One longs another.
The sound of her voice; Touches like a velvet song; Wraps me in a dream.

403 Forbidden Message…Have any others received that message on this site?
Posted by Pete | Posted in News | Posted on 25-03-2015
I received this e-mail from Errol who could not post his comment. I tried to post it for him and could not. So, I have made a new posting showing his comment and I hope that any of you who had received similar notices will let me know. Thanks for sharing this Errol and I hope it does not happen again. I did not do anything to stop comments and I have not done anything to try and correct the 403 error…matter of fact, I don't have the foggiest idea what to do about it. Maybe some of our readers can help us out. Pete
The kind webmaster must have this posting closed to comments since I always got
an error message when I tried to post it. At any rate, the following is my
comment made through email:
I wonder what would happen if Geronimo did come
home. He might resurrect an invading force and lead his disenfranchised brethern
in an invasion force and surround the governor's mansion in Santa Fe demanding
the right to build a casino. Personally, I believe that the free market should
decide the viability of a casino in Lordsburg. If the descendant brethren of
Geronimo can raise the necessary funds to build their casino, then they should
be allowed to do so and let the free market decide. After all, the descendants
of Geronimo are supposed to be a free nation which has nothing to do with the
state government in Santa Fe as long as they behave themselves and not become
envolved in an insurrection. Let the Fort Sill Tribe have their freedom. Some
casinos are doing well while others are closing. The ghost of Geronimo just may
have the management skills to makes theirs survive and thrive. They are
Americans. Let's give them the chance.

Ignite Your Passion | My Craft Content Nashville Presentation
I'm Proud to have been a speaker at Craft Content Nashville's "Unconference" for the Marketing/Tech/Content Creating Community!
I did it! I faced my fear of public speaking, and delivered an inspiring presentation on "Ignite your Passion" at Craft Content Nashville (#CCN18)! Several friends weren't able to make it, so decided to turn my presentation into a blog post.
Following is my presentation (with context), as presented at Craft Content Nashville on Saturday, April 21, 2018 at Nossi College of Art.
Voice, Vulnerability, and Bravery- They are all connected.
The fact that this year's Craft Content Nashville theme is "Voice" is what really inspired me to be brave and speak up to share my story with you. You see, I'm not the same as I was a year ago today. I probably would not have gotten up in front of people to speak, and certainly not on such a personal topic. I was feeling unhappy and stuck.
I was in a relationship that was going in circles, in a job that wasn't the best fit. I felt trapped, but then again I was comfortable. I thought I had time to figure it out, or that it would work itself out. I wanted change. Little did I know I was about to get my wish.
About 8 months ago, I found out that my long term boyfriend of 7 years- that I lived with- was cheating on me. I'm not going to get into the gory details, but if you really want to know- buy me a drink and I'll tell you all about it! Needless to say, I took my cat and moved out into my own place.
Four weeks later, I lost my job. Everything I thought was stable in my life suddenly was lost. I was lost. I was devastated, and had to pick myself up and figure out what to do with my life. I learned how to find my voice, I got vulnerable, and I got brave.
Fast forward to today- I'm strategically pursuing my next career move in digital marketing. I'm regularly blogging about the things I love- Nashville, Marketing & Karma. I've discovered the joy of yoga and meditation, and I have plans to take the teacher training to become a yoga teacher.
I am finding ways to bring joy into each and every day. I'm here to encourage you to identify and ignite your passion. I will share what has inspired me along my journey, and the things that I have found to be helpful in pursuing my passions.
Do you know what happens when you ask a lot of people for advice? You get a lot of opinions! I was overwhelmed by my own emotions, along with the voices of everyone else (kindly) telling me what to do.
I found yoga and meditation to be the only ways to connect inward and listen to my inner voice. Try it for yourself. Start with a 1 minute meditation. Close your eyes, take a beep breath, hold it, let it out. Listen to your breath. Listen to yourself.
I read a book that changed my perspective on how I thought about bringing into my life what I want to achieve. It's called, "The Desire Map" by Danielle Laporte. Instead of thinking about goals in terms of wanting a job that fits an exact job description I envisioned, or a list of locations I want to visit, I started thinking about how I want to FEEL. I want to feel free, creative, connected, peaceful, adventurous, and inspired. Think about what you want to feel, and make THAT your guiding light in decision making.
Planning- This is where you take action in bringing those desired feelings into your life. Not just long term goals, like one day you want to travel to Greece to feel adventurous, or you want to earn a certificate or degree. What feelings are calling your name? You don't have to wait to feel those feelings!
Let's talk about mine: For me, blogging gives me a sense of freedom and creativity. Yoga makes me feel peaceful and connected. Once a week, I find adventure by going to a new yoga class (different teacher or studio), or going somewhere I've never been before.
I have found inspiration in meeting new people. I've been reading books abut things I'm interested in. Did you know they let you borrow books for FREE at the library?! It's amazing! And by sharing my Craft Content Nashville presentation, I am inspired to inspire you! What you seek, you shall find.
Is anyone else hesitant to get up in front of a crowd and speak? Please tell me I'm not the only one fearful of this! I struggled with the negative, nasty thoughts that told me I can't do this, or that you wouldn't care, or that I would fail. But you know what, that's fake news! It is not always easy to shut out the fear and be brave anyway. I pretty much have no comfort zone anymore, and I'm okay with that. I'm embracing the journey.
If you practice meditation- listening to yourself, get vulnerable about what you want to feel, and make an effort, you will know in your heart what is worth being brave for.
In yoga, we close each class with the word "namaste"- which translates to " The light in me honors and appreciates the light within you." I love this because it signifies a community, a bond with other people coming together to share their practice together. No one is perfect. We are all working on our own personal practice. – Just like everyone that attended Craft Content Nashville, and YOU reading this. We are all seeking something.
When I was preparing to speak at Craft Content Nashville, I reached out to some of the other speakers for advice, and asked friends who regularly speak at conferences for tips. It takes a village! It's okay to ask for help. Use your resources. That's what's so great about the Nashville community. We help each other!
I encourage you to connect with others, use your voice, share what you desire to feel, and ask for help in igniting your passion.
Feeling inspired yet? Let's connect! Please reach out to me and let me know how I can help you. I'm on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/georgiacross and on Twitter at @crossga. And if you are interested in following along as I share my continuing journey and inspiration via my blog, subscribe to get email alerts of new blog posts.

Mindful Monday: Loving-kindness & joy in only two short breaths…
Do you want to try something simple that will brighten your day and someone else's?
Take a moment and imagine the next person you expect to see today.
Can you picture him or her?
Now try this:
Take two full breaths, and as you do, wish for this person to be happy.
Say silently, "May you be happy."
Go ahead. Try it now. (The newsletter will be here when you get back.)
Then say silently, "May you be healthy". "May you be peaceful"
How did that feel? Did you feel uplifted?
I hope it brought a moment of joy.
A mindfulness practice includes loving-kindness. As we send good wishes to others it creates more peace and well-being within ourselves.
It is a moment to moment choice to be aware. And it can be that simple.
To your peace + well-being,

Camden Arts Centre
15th-20th July (Drinks Reception: Weds 16th July, 7-9pm)
Get the Message Exhibition, 2014. Photo: Pablo Antoli
I have been co-running the Get The Message project at Camden Arts Centre since September 2012. The well-established project has been exploring innovative approaches to working with young people with profound and multiple learning disabilities for over ten years. The project aims to challenge notions of disability as a limitation through collaborative activities which champion all forms of communication and self expression.
This year's Get the Message Exhibition is an immersive installation that seeks to explore, and expand upon, the concept of 'stage', as investigated with the young people involved in this year's workshops.
There will be a Drinks Reception on Wednesday 16th July, 7-9pm to celebrate the opening of the exhibition, and a symposium - Disibility in Galleries on Saturday 19th July looking at how galleries can be supportive creative spaces for disabled people. More information on the Symposium to follow shortly.

text: Yes, this episode we're trying to reach that damn Rivet City. I may have accidentally jumped into some subway stations where I couldn't get to the stupid boat, but we made it, and spent a good while trying to find anyone useful. We learned that to help Moira find out the history of Rivet City we need to find Pinkerton, a man in the aft end of the boat, supposedly filled with more freaking mirelurks. Guess that will be tomorrow.

Justin Bieber will reportedly make a plea deal over his driving-related charges.
The 'Baby' singer, who was arrested in January for offences including driving under the influence, is planning on pleading guilty to reckless driving, according to TMZ.
Bieber is currently charged with driving under the influence, resisting arrest and driving with an expired licence.
The 21-year-old originally pleaded not guilty in February and postponed the trial from its scheduled May 5 date.
It is said that, once Bieber pleads guilty to reckless driving, the current charges brought against him will be dropped. He will also apparently be made to pay a fine and attend anger management classes, but may not be put on probation.
Charges of attempted robbery were recently dropped against the popstar, due to lack of evidence.

So, I kid you not, there I was, on Facebook during the school break looking at everyone's holiday pictures. In our household, I tend to be the parent who is responsible for creating the holiday magic - I make costumes at Halloween, help get Valentine's cards signed and sorted out for classroom celebrations, and, in December, I make or otherwise acquire, wrap, and display the gifts, stuff the stockings, put up lights, etc. So, looking at everyone else's holiday displays, it was very difficult not to compare my efforts to everyone else's. Wow, Audrey and Chris's pile of gifts is HUGE, I didn't even think to decorate cookies like Eric and Jay did, and wow, Amy's house is so clean, and she's a single mom working two jobs, how does she even manage that? Every time I thought about how my efforts stacked up to those of others, it left me feeling worse, with my efforts seeming more meager by comparison. It was heading to a bad place, and quickly. And, more than that, I thought about how soon enough my kids would be heading back to school, where, undoubtedly, they would be hearing stories about other kids' holiday extravaganzas. How could I protect them from feeling the way I did when I compared our holiday to everyone else's.
Taking a step away from the internet, I thought about what made me feel good about our holiday efforts, things like the fact that, this year, I made a lot of our gifts by hand, that we made more time to connect with our friends during the holiday break than we had in previous years. All the examples I could think of involved making a self-comparison, between myself and my efforts now, and myself and my efforts in previous years. Because these comparisons let me reflect on how I've changed, it's easy to see things in a more positive light. Turns out there's lots of psychological research to back this up - if you're interested in going down a rabbit hole, you can read all about Social Comparison Theory (originally proposed by psychologist Leon Festinger in the 1950s).
So, how can we help kids to avoid comparing their holiday gifts, and, by extension, themselves, to others? And what can we do when our kids tell us that so-and-so got a brand new ipad, and why didn't they?
Establish a family tradition where you practice self-comparisons. It's New Year's, why not take a moment to ask everyone in the family what is something that they feel like they are better at this year than they were last year?
Acknowledge that, yes, there are differences between what your child received as a gift, is capable of doing without help, or whatever the comparison to another person might be, then redirect to a more appropriate self-comparison. "Yes, they got an ipad. Do you remember what gifts you received? Which gift was your favorite? What is something that you really like about that gift?"
- If your child is worried that someone is better at some skill than they are, it might be worth talking about practice and how it impacts skill - but also talk about the importance of fun. "Yes, Colton is better at soccer than you. Colton plays soccer every day for at least an hour a day, and when you do something a lot, you tend to get better at it. Do you have fun when you play soccer? Is it something you want to do more, and practice to get better, or do you like it just the way it is?"
- Model positive self-comparison, and, if you find yourself comparing yourself to others, try to frame it in a context of positive self comparison. "Wow, I really wish I could decorate our house the way our neighbors do each year. But, you know what? I decided to spend my time making gifts instead of buying them at the store, and I feel good about that. It meant I didn't have as much time for fancy decorations, but I am still really proud of the work that I did."
How do you help teach your kids not to compare themselves to others? Send your tips to firstname.lastname@example.com and you may be featured in a future Squeak!
