Social media is at it again today with rather dichotomous messages – either the notion that making New Years resolutions sets you up for life failure or that you can indeed change all of your bad habits within days and make fiddy million dollars in the process. Naturally, I'm illustrating the extremes that I have seen on my Facebook feed today. However, I'm going to run with the idea that stopping to evaluate what you're doing and where you're going and whether the two paths are aligning nicely is worth the effort.
I've been on a life evaluation path for a few months now. I had been thinking of applying to do a post graduate physiotherapy qualification at university. However, life seemed to have other plans. I developed a severe case of wrist tenosynovitis of the extensor digitorum complex (top of forearm) which is rare and quite difficult to treat conservatively, particularly if it is the person's dominant hand, which mine is. This injury has been a tad devastating to me as it's stopped me from lifting weights, preparing meals and doing the simplest tasks where gripping is required. When I combined this with the hamstring injury, I had started to wonder whether pursuing a career in a field that wasn't as physically demanding was the way to go.
Enter my friend Mel, who amongst other talents, has made business coaching and career counselling part of her very successful business. Through doing some personality testing and career aptitude/preference testing, Mel was able to narrow down my feelings of "I want to change, but don't know what to do," down to pinpointing some very specific talents and preferences. Finally, there was a breakthrough – I knew what I didn't want to do, but the best part was finding things I could do and enjoy.
I mulled over the testing for a few months. My strengths are in writing, coaching and communication.
"Lots of people are good at writing and communication," I thought. "I'll never get a job."
I discussed the prospect of further study with Mr Lucy, who told me to go for it and that he'd back me all the way, reassuring me that there is always something for those who are good at what they do. I slept well that night and in the morning, nervously applied to study a Grad Dip in Arts, majoring in journalism and mass communication. All things being well and provided I got my QTAC application in on time, I'll be starting in March 2016. If not, it will be July 2016.
Back to Mel – we have been riding together for the last two years or so. Mel's strength on the bike lies in individual efforts and she is able push herself to the wire during an effort or a race. She has also been riding track bikes for years and when she decided to set the goal of competing at the World Masters Track Titles in Manchester in the Individual Pursuit this year, I became really invested in her journey. From the get go, Mel was disciplined in what she wanted to achieve, what races she wanted to target along the way and how she would fit her training in amongst her other commitments. From the outside, her preparation looked like a textbook presentation of the S.M.A.R.T model of goal setting – specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time sensitive. However this model does not reflect the grit, discipline and determination it took to get there – getting up early to train before work, dealing with the rest of life, as well as dealing with muscular fatigue that were all part and parcel of Mel's program. It was tough, both physically and mentally for Mel as she wrestled with both fatigue and self doubt. When she left for Manchester, I took it upon myself to check for event updates every few waking hours. What a thrill it was to hear the news that Mel had won two bronze medals in her events – and although each race is only a few minutes long, these moments had been no accident, rather it had been the cumulation of a year of commitment, discipline and hard work – inspirational in my book!
Although Mel's achievement of winning bronze medals moved me, the everyday effort is what inspired me the most and served as a wonderful reminder that good things don't come easy and that most successes are not overnight, rather they are roads paved with determination, discipline and endurance to see out the tough times. I'm no psychologist, but I believe humans are happiest when they are industrious, are busy and have a focus.
Like good aspiring journalists do, my plan for 2016 is to get to the heart of the matter, to deal with the big issues that have been plaguing me in an accurate, timely and non subjective manner. I've got career change at the forefront, followed closely by the goal of dealing with the weight I have gained as a result of my accident. There was no accident in how my fat accumulation occurred and I want to write about the process getting back to my normal, firstly as self therapy and secondly to help others who may also may be in the same boat – i.e. it's never just about the food. Thirdly I am chasing the goal of returning to racing my bike, running 10km pain free and completing some triathlons. I wrote in my last post about the mind being the most powerful instrument we own. I suspect that by working hard on the first two goals, numbers three and four will fall into place effortlessly.
In terms of these goals being specific and measurable, I'm surrounding myself with people whose influence will help me to stay focused, and acquiesce to the fact that it's not always going to be easy and that I will make mistakes along the way, which will only be lessons if I work hard, maintain discipline and stay the course. I have the structure of university to help with number one and in the weight loss department I'll be using the guidance of Georgie Fear online and Apple to Zucchini dietitians locally. I will be teaming up with Mel to train when our programs match and using the UQ swim squad and triathlon club as well as the wonderful Liz Hepple to get me back to my best on the bike, swim and run.
With a solid plan in place, I'm looking forward to a happy and productive 2016 and if you're still reading this, I wish you a happy and prosperous New Year.

Insights from the IACCM Americas Conference (Part 1)
By Bill Huber, Director, CPO Services, TPI
The 2009 International Association for Contract and Commercial Management (IACCM) (http://www.iaccm.com/americas/) Americas conference opened yesterday in Orlando. The conference theme focuses on the tools, techniques and organizational models that result in the responsible management of risk and ensure high-performing business functions.
In the words of IACCM President Tim Cummins, "Today's market conditions have increased the pressure for responsible risk management. In such an environment, it is tempting to respond with increased review and greater emphasis on compliance. Yet this presumes that risks are themselves well understood and that market needs and opportunities will adjust to fit an accepted risk profile."
During the opening panel, Conoco-Philips Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) Mark McDaniel focused on the fact that risks are analyzed by various constituents: finance and procurement, suppliers and service providers, partners, government entities and others. However, as Mark pointed out, "The trick is getting alignment of risk profiles and risk strategies between these constituents."
An effective risk strategy cannot be built around risk transfer, as such an approach merely shifts the weak link within the chain, and does nothing to mitigate the overall supply and services chain risk. As a better approach, examples were provided of frameworks to integrate multiple risk scenarios into the negotiation process to encourage a joint mitigation approach as standard part of negotiation strategy
Pervasive challenges also remain in adoption of models that link risks on the enterprise level with those at the contract portfolio level and those within individual relationships and specific contracts.
In the case of Conoco-Philips, they have taken the approach of conducting regular meetings between the procurement organization and finance, internal economists, and legal to facilitate the formation of this common view. McDaniel also pointed out that he will ask supplier sales representatives whether they know the names of the CPOs within their companies and uses this approach to gauge whether his suppliers have implemented integrated risk strategies within their own organizations.
Those organizations that are effectively managing supply risk have implemented a formalized governance structure to institutionalize an integrated view of risk and enable efficient communication, analysis and decision making at the right organizational level. TPI's presentation; "Global Procurement Design – An Agile Engine During Recession" provided an example of the type of framework that companies can implement to provide an integrated view of risk by leveraging both functional competencies and leadership processes. While technology is clearly helpful, implementing the appropriate communications and decisioning processes can be highly effective in the absence of any special technology. This also appears to be the consensus of many of the presenters at IACCM.

An aspect of our faith that can inspire us toward forgiveness is the understanding of our inherent moral weakness, which inclines us to perpetually offend God- a God who perpetually forgives. The acknowledgment of sin in ourselves includes us as contributors to humanity's problem. What a savory little taste humble pie for us all. The personal acknowledgment our moral weaknesses and habits of failure helps us to not only become the initiators of forgiveness, but receptors of it. A proper view of sin allows us to view the wrong doings of others as a mirror reflecting to us our own potential.
Therefore forgiveness can be viewed as a means of demonstrating compassion, since we are equally capable of performing the same act that offended us. This can contribute immensely to our healing as we empathetically see ourselves in the face of our offender. A perspective of this sort will nurture in our hearts an ever-widening humility. In addition, we will find ourselves escalating down the staircase of moral superiority.

Internet Businesses Tips
Freelancing: The life of a freelance worker before the Internet was a very different thing to what it is today. In the past, any freelancer would need great mobility or a very sympathetic pricing plan from their phone company.
In order to get around to pitch yourself to potential customers, you would require boundless energy, and an ability to deal with being told "no" face to face or over the phone. So much of freelancing is about speculation, after all.
You can try and sell yourself a hundred times and could be told "no" a hundred times – and the chances are that you will get at least fifty rejections even if you are excellent. Although the Internet offers no guarantees of acceptance, it does make things a bit more equal for the freelancer.
There are many sites on the Internet that offer the opportunity for freelancers to pitch to potential customers on specific jobs – a searchable database means that you can even check for jobs that match up perfectly with your own specific skills and abilities. You can name your price and tell the customer how quickly you can turn a job around.
The days of having to get out there, pound the pavement and then be told "sorry, we're not interested" are more or less over. Not to mention that the Internet provides a truly monumental research tool for the jobs that require a bit of extra knowledge.
The internet is nothing less than a launch pad from which to set your career in motion.

text: Global FocusMSDUK Brings Innovation to Supplier Diversity as a Game Changer Mayank Shah founded MSDUK to drive inclusive procurement. The successful organization is now leading supplier diversity into an innovative future. By Kim Persaud The MSDUK organization is a non-profit membership organization driving the development of diverse and inclusive supply chains. That is the formal description of the UK based MSDUK, but this group of innovative and entrepreneurial ethnic minority owned businesses, and dozens of purchasing enterprises, is also proof that diversity and inclusion in supply chains has gone global. The forward-thinking MSDUK was founded by CEO Mayank Shah, after he spent 20 years of business experience in India where he ran his own small business and subsequently pursued a multi-year academic study of supplier diversity in the USA. He is focused on bringing minority-owned enterprises (MBEs) in the UK into the economic mainstream, but his perspective on Supplier Diversity (SD) is a lesson in thinking outside the box....Read full article Login or Subscribe

How To Become A Better Dancer
So first of all I'll start off with an apology… it's been a while since I last blogged… I know I'm sorry, I know how hard it must be not to have had your latest fix of SDL blogging in your life but hey I'm back and all is well! With New Year's well and truly behind us it's coming to that stage where a lot of you have developed a heck of a lot in a short space of time and you are now asking me for advice on how you can become better dancers. So I thought 'A-Ha! This calls for a blog!'
Yes that was the loosest reference to a YouTube gag ever but ah well… If you smiled, you're welcome! If you didn't, never mind hopefully I will win you back later on in the blog! Just be happy we didn't Rick Roll you or put up another Harlem Shake video… So please put the pen down and save your letters of complaint 🙂 It's better for the environment!
OK, so enough with the fun and games let's get down to business, the reason why we're all here. To find out my top tips on how to become a better dancer. Before we go any further a quick disclaimer. These are my own views and opinions. Many other teachers and dancers will have their own. Including those at SDL. Just because I have put mine on the internet doesn't make them gospel, nor does it mean that I am forcing you to do these things! Anyway let's get on with the show.
Practice Makes Permanent
This is my number one tip and it sounds obvious but when I started dancing all that time ago people used to ask me how I got so good so quick. At the time I was young and as you do you say 'Well I dunno, just have…' But what I didn't let on was that I went home after sessions and just shadow salsad the moves I liked that the teacher had taught me that night over and over again. Then once I had got used to them, just like a boxer I shadow danced my moves. This helped me work out mini combos/routines in my head and started putting together moves I could link, so when it came round to the lessons again I could ask my partner if I could practice these things I had prepared. If you hit a brick wall keep going! The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.
Nowadays we have wonderful things like YouTube which I didn't have in the old days, so why not ask your teachers for some good tutorials or dancers they recommend you watch and learn from those videos. Even better hit up some of the great salsa classes Leeds has to offer (If you don't live in Leeds I'm feel sorry for you, but I'm sure there are some great classes near you!). There's a whole list, Nicolai and Julien at Baracoa and Theo at Maluko to name a few and they all bring different things to the table. By experiencing different classes it will help you to develop your own style, meet other dancers, get different takes on the moves and also getting more tips! But don't worry there isn't any gang rivalry in salsa! You won't be shot if seen elsewhere! We all actively encourage you to go to other classes, it's good for you and it's even better for the scene.
Immerse yourself in the music
One of the best things I ever did was that I nagged the hell out of my teachers and local DJ's for CD's of the music they played in their classes/nights. (Remember this was a time before YouTube… I know, I don't know how I coped either! Practice without music is a bit sad to be honest. Also please no nagging simple requests will do! If not DJ Lubi has plenty of awesome CD's you can buy. Well worth the investment.) From this I got to become familiar with the music, how it was structured and also I started to work out what I liked in a song and how I could adapt my dancing to the music. Through getting these songs I could start to practice properly to the detriment of my relationship with my family! I'm sorry I embarrassed you by dancing on my own to salsa in front of your friends Ellie. haha.
But anyway this isn't Jeremy Kyle… Where was I… OK, so by getting the music I had started to learn the songs inside-out and had started to recognise the differences in styles of salsa and also differences between bachata, merengue and salsa… Something vital for when you hit the dance floor! It's also where I started to fall in love with salsa, I became obsessed with the music and through this love of the music it helped me express myself on the dance floor. With the familiarity also came an opportunity for me to work on little bits of musicality which is always nice to show off when you're starting off, have a play around its fun. Plus if in years and years to come you become a teacher it's always good to stick to your roots and pass on your salsa songs! Here's one the my first salsa songs I owned…
(We have a selection of songs and tutorials on our YouTube Channel just click here!)
Social Dance!
This point is the big one and really brings together the first two points. Social dancing for me is what salsa is all about. Salsa is a street dance and is meant to be danced socially! This is the best way to learn. It's a bit like learning to drive a car. It's not until you drive on your own do you truly start to learn and the same is with salsa. Have fun, learn, socialise and make mistakes! Make lots of mistakes! No seriously go out there and make mistakes its cool, don't worry about it, we all do it. Just some of us have got used to masking it pretty well! Mistakes are how you learn, how you develop and also how you find out awesome moves and combos that you didn't mean to do! Just remember 'a person who fails often knows how to avoid future failures. The person who knows only success can be more oblivious to all the pitfalls.' Little quote from the third biggest inspiration in my life Mr Randy Pausch… If you haven't heard of him, Google him and he'll send you on the right path.
When you aren't on the dance floor watch others, look for the differences, spot someone you like whose moves you'd like to emulate, watch them, work out what they're doing and try it out! If not ask them, they won't mind… Always start with "That move was awesome! Could you show me how you did it…" They'll be feeling pretty good at that point and hey who doesn't like their ego being stroked?! If you are that person being asked, do it! Help the others, go out and do for others what somebody did for you. We all started somewhere; you could be that person that inspires someone else, even without knowing you could have inspired hundreds already! But be nice and don't take advantage, no one likes a sleaze or a snob. The best way to learn is to teach, so help out your salsa friends, it's an all win situation and as always if you're unsure ask a teacher, it's what they're there for!
Try different styles of dance
So I know what you're thinking, James why should I try another form of dance?!?! You crazy boy?! I'm just getting my head round salsa and now you're telling me to try other classes! I know it sounds insane but try it. If needs be start small, try different styles of salsa, try some Cuban or cross body… Feeling a bit more daring?! Why not venture out to Kizomba or Bachata classes. Even more hardcore?! Why not try swing or street. It's a great way to learn new things especially if you've been dancing salsa for a while. It will help you bring things into your salsa and will help you develop your own unique style, plus it's always fun to know a few random moves. Jake and I have adapted many lindy moves to salsa and I know Bobak has adapted loads of house etc. to salsa too. It's cool. You can do it, as long as it fits the guidelines, try it out… we already have quite a few salsa styles, always room for one more!
From going to hip-hop, house, swing and loads of other dance classes it really helped me learn about learning again (Sounds weird but you'll understand when you do it!). Different dances have different ways about teaching moves and combinations and also bring different ideas to dance and this is great. It's just like learning a new language, generally once you have mastered another language the others come quite quickly and the same with dance. It'll help you out no end. If you are interested I will point you in the direction of some great classes, just post a comment below!
Here's my favourite swing dance duo Max Pitruzzella and Annie Trudeau, oh so awesome! I mean how could you not be inspired by this?! So much you can take out of it!
Dance with as many people as possible!
OK, so I realise I have waffled on for quite a while now so I will finish up (I guess this is what happens when I don't post regularly!). My final point really sums it all up. Dance as much as you can with as many people as you can. Dance with the beginners, dance with the people who are your level and dance with the people who have been doing it longer than you. By doing this it will help you learn how to adapt your dancing and also how to enjoy dancing. By dancing with beginners it will help you and most importantly help them and give them confidence. At the end of the day if you enjoy dancing it shouldn't matter who you dance with as long as you are dancing. (Well unless they punch you in the face but then I'm sure it was by accident and hey you've got a great little story to tell.) Don't worry about what you think others are thinking! They're probably in awe or are eyeing up your partner! But most likely they're thinking about their own dancing! Remember we all started out somewhere, inspire someone, go out there and help people, it's a community.
Anyway, thank you. I hope you enjoyed reading my latest blog and hopefully it has inspired you and given you a few pointers in the right direction! As always please comment below with your views and opinions (you dont have to sign up to anything to do this. Anyone can post! If you want an image like me go to gravitar and link a picture up to your email) and even better share the blog using the social media buttons at the bottom and top!

Another one – give feedback, especially if you're dancing with someone at a different level to you! I had a dance in London last weekend with someone who had only been dancing 8 months or so, and was able to truthfully say that all but one of his leads were really good and I was able to follow them easily. I was also able to identify the issue with the one lead that was a problem (he was leading it a little too late) and I think he appreciated the confidence boost and the tip.
It's also nice just to give positive feedback – "I really like the way you spin when I do this move" or "I really like your footwork" etc. It just helps 🙂
I think the way you gave feedback on that occasion was spot on, plenty of positive encouragement and a little bit of something that the person could work on.
Thanks for the insightful article. You hit some great points about dancing with a variety of partners. Yeah, when I started learning Salsa, it was a number of weeks before I could hear the difference between salsa, merenge, bachata, etc. You are on point about the value of listening to the music. Here's a related post about the do's and dont's of what to wear when dancing: http://salsa4life.com/salsa-dress-code/
If you want to dance, you've got to love it. If your heart is not into dancing, you will most likely give up when you cannot do certain moves, and this will decrease your sense of control and confidence.

The latest issue of Green Arrow sees another hero donning Oliver Queen's hood and wielding his bow as part of an effort to save the billionaire's life. Ironically, this comes at a time when there is a big mystery regarding a new Green Arrow on Arrow, with that character not taking up Oliver Queen's cause and costume on the television show.
Recent issues of Green Arrow have seen Oliver pitted against a new vigilante called The Citizen. Previously targeting white-collar criminals who had bribed the police to escape justice, The Citizen's efforts took a more revolutionary approach when he abducted a slum lord...and beheaded him with a guillotine after putting the man's fate to a social media vote. When Oliver Queen became The Citizen's next target for killing a young woman while drunk-driving and was abducted, somebody else had to save the day as the Green Arrow to protect Ollie's life and secret identity.

As Green Arrow #47 opens, Oliver Queen is trapped in an electric chair as The Citizen broadcasts to his followers, calling out Green Arrow for protecting the lives of one-percenters like Queen. Suddenly, the signal of the broadcast and the power to the chair is cut off, thanks to a carefully released EMP Arrow shot by a figure who looks like Green Arrow, save for a mask completely concealing their face under the hood.
The figure easily knocks out The Citizen, revealing herself to be Green Arrow's girlfriend, Dinah Lance (aka Black Canary) under the mask.
There is some irony in this story, given the current storyline on Arrow, where a new Green Arrow has begun protecting Star City following Oliver Queen's incarceration earlier this year. The mystery of the new Green Arrow's identity has been a major plot point of Arrow's seventh season, and one early theory suggested that Black Siren - the evil alternate-Earth version of Laurel Lance - might have taken up Green Arrow's mantle in a bid for redemption. This theory was later disproved by the episode "Due Process", which confirmed that none of the main cast of Arrow were masquerading as the new Green Arrow.
Sadly, those Arrow-heads hoping to see Black Siren donning Green Arrow's hood were disappointed. Still, Black Canary fans can take heart and know that their favorite heroine is still kicking butt and taking names in the pages of Green Arrow. Following this issue, it is clearer than ever why Oliver Queen says he "can't live without his Pretty Bird... literally."
Green Arrow #47 is now available from DC Comics.

Dear M4KI Friends,
Greetings again from Media4Kids International! We hope and pray that you and your families are well and safe, despite the many recent weather events here in the US as well as in other parts of the world. At times like this, it helps to remind ourselves that "The name of the Lord is a STRONG tower; His children run into it and are safe." (Prov. 18:10)
Recently, we received a request for M4KI libraries from Hope Missions, whose mission is to empower at-risk children by providing hope, love, education, and a forever family. They will soon take a team of 18-20 missionaries in December to Uganda. They wrote: "We believe the M4KI Library that you have so graciously provided to vulnerable children would be put to great use at both Redeemer House and Christ Sanctuary International." Knowing that the M4KI Libraries are being used in this way in many countries around the world to help vulnerable children is a tremendous encouragement to us and makes us even more thankful for your help in making it possible. Please keep this mission trip in your prayers, thanks!
Our daily prayers are that the many vulnerable and abandoned children in this world are able to experience God's personal love for each one of them. This motivates us to do all we can to get out the M4KI Libraries.
We recently added M4KI as a non-profit of choice on Amazon Smile, where Amazon donates 0.5% of the price of eligible smile.amazon.com purchases to the charities selected by customers. So, now you can generate donations for M4KI libraries whenever you shop on Amazon! Just click the link below:
We have a 30-day promotion whereby eligible orphanages and institutions can apply for a free library for their orphan ministry! Please visit our Facebook page and help spread the word!
God bless you and thank you so much for your continued support and prayers!

He brought along plenty of spending cash to make his day there even sweeter — and much more fun.

I've also been studying meteorology and watching weather patterns for years. I enjoy sharing little-known facts and fun stuff about coins, weather, travel, health, food, and living green… on a budget.

During those days, my three year old neice at the time, L, and I would have exchanges about how much we love each other... "to the moon and back..."... "to the moon and back and past Jupiter and back...".... "to the moon, through Uranus, to Mars and back...".
You get the picture. We would go on and on, and we kept it up long distance during "conversations" over the telephone.
Then, one day, L said to me, "Aunt Babe*, where is Uranus?" DOOR OPEN.
So, I said to L, "I will show you. Stand up. Are you standing? Okay, spread your legs far apart from one another so you make an upside down V with your legs." Check.
"Now hang your head down low and look up. There's Uranus!" SILENCE.
My sister promptly grabbed the phone... go figure. Giggles ensued.
We have searched for Uranus a few times since then.
And now, when Lucy has similar exchanges with her Mom and mentions Uranus, it warms my heart... and it scares me a bit to know that one day, she will cover the solar system in her classroom.
*Many of you know, but for those of you that don't, my family nickname growing up was "Babe". In fact, everyone called me by that nickname, and if my real name was used, confusion set in. It has become a cumbersome situation now that I am in my late thirties, as you can imagine. Or maybe you can't. Either way, now you know.

These plant species are found primarily along the coast of northern Monterey County, California. Potentilla hickmanii also occurs in San Mateo County and has occurred historically in Sonoma County. Astragalus tener var. titi has occurred historically in Los Angeles and San Diego Counties, California. This recovery plan includes specific criteria and actions to be taken in order to effectively recover the species.
Copies of this recovery plan are available by request from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ventura Fish and Wildlife Office, 2493 Portola Road, Suite B, Ventura, California 93003 (telephone: 805/644-1766). An electronic copy of the recovery plan is also available at: http://Start Printed Page 76003www.endangered.fws.gov/recovery/index.html#plans.Start Further Info

Restoring endangered or threatened animals and plants to the point where they are again secure, self-sustaining members of their ecosystems is a primary goal of our endangered species program. The Endangered Species Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) (Act), requires the development of recovery plans for listed species unless such a plan would not promote the conservation of a particular species. Recovery plans help guide the recovery effort by describing actions considered necessary for the conservation of the species, establishing criteria for the recovery levels for downlisting or delisting them, and estimating time and cost for implementing the recovery measures needed.
Section 4(f) of the Act requires that public notice and an opportunity for public review and comment be provided during recovery plan development. In fulfillment of this requirement, the Draft Recovery Plan for Five Plants from Monterey County, California, was available for public comment from May 13, 2002, through July 12, 2002 (67 FR 32003). Information presented during the public comment period has been considered in the preparation of this final recovery plan, and is summarized in the appendix to the recovery plan. We will forward substantive comments regarding recovery plan implementation to appropriate Federal or other entities so that they can take these comments into account during the course of implementing recovery actions.
The five plants addressed in this final recovery plan are threatened by one or more of the following: alteration, destruction, and fragmentation of habitat resulting from urban and golf course development; recreational activities; competition with nonnative plant species; herbivory from native or nonnative species; demographic stochasticity; modifications in hydrology; loss of individuals from roadside maintenance activities; and disruption of natural fire cycles due to fire suppression associated with increasing residential development around and within occupied habitat.
The objective of this plan is to provide a framework for the recovery of these species so that protection by the Act is no longer necessary. Actions necessary to accomplish this objective include: (1) Permanent protection of habitat presently occupied by the species and the surrounding ecosystem on which they depend, with long-term commitments to conserving the species; (2) in protected habitat, successful control of invasive nonnative plants and successful management of other problems through at least 12 years; (3) development of management strategies that include results from research on the life histories of the taxa, and results from monitoring the species' responses to vegetation management; (4) surveys for additional populations, and successful reintroductions or establishment of populations for Astragalus tener var. titi, Potentilla hickmanii, and Trifolium trichocalyx, with populations of all five species assured of long-term survival; (5) establishment of seed banks; and (6) existing populations of Cupressus goveniana ssp. goveniana are assured of long-term survival, including successful recruitment and reproduction. Once these criteria have been met, Cupressus goveniana ssp. goveniana may be considered for delisting and Astragalus tener var. titi, Piperia yadonii, Potentilla hickmanii, and Trifolium trichocalyx may be considered for downlisting.Start Signature

Every Detail of Your Life Matters
By Toni Hebel
I am constantly amazed at how God reveals Himself to me in the details of my life. Experiencing His involvement in the smallest of things is one of the many ways I learn of Him, and there is nothing more joyful to me than that!
Today is March 19, 2018. First thing this morning, as I was writing today's date at the top of my journal page, I blurted out, "Wow!" I didn't realize today was the 19th until I began to journal. March 19 is a very special day to me.
- March 19, 1979: My future husband and I knelt at the altar of our church and together committed our lives fully to God. We asked Him to use us to make an impact for His Kingdom, but only in a way that can be explained by Him—nothing that we managed or created.
- March 19, 2006: We were in the middle of the most painful situation we had ever experienced. On this day as I stood beside my husband, a pastor friend of ours publicly and unexpectedly washed Bruce's feet at the leading of the Holy Spirit. Our friend looked Bruce in the eyes and with tears in his own emphatically said, "Don't quit!" At that time, everything in us wanted to quit, but God clearly spoke through our dear friend. God was reminding us through our friend, "27 years ago you gave Me your lives to do with as I please. Trust Me."
- March 19, 2009: A dear mentor confirmed to us that we were to launch Forgiving Forward. As we were on our faces praying, asking God if Forgiving Forward was truly His plan for us, I was reminded in my heart, "God trained Jesus for 30 years before He sent Him into His public ministry." (Luke 3:23) We had been told that all the pain we had experienced over the years was "training" for what God put us on the planet to do. We then realized that it had been exactly 30 years since we made our covenant with God back at that altar at our college church. Forgiving Forward was born.
- March 19, 2017: We landed in Jerusalem. It was this trip to Israel that God opened the doors for us to minister for three days to Messianic Jewish leaders and Arab church leaders at the Dead Sea. Forgiveness and Blessing flowed that day at the Dead Sea!
God specializes in the details to reveal His glory. He does it in my life and He does it in yours. We get to open our eyes and look for our magnificent, omnipresent God who finds joy in manifesting His presence to us.
So what does today hold? Believe me, I'm looking! I just got off the phone with a woman who has suffered much pain and has served time in prison. I called to offer her a scholarship to an upcoming coaching training because God put her on my heart yesterday. She didn't hesitate to receive because just yesterday she was asking God that if there was any way she could go, would He please provide a way? "I want to help women get free. I want to use the pain I have suffered for His glory."
Yes, He did it again… He revealed Himself to me in the details of my daily life and in my new friend's life too. "I asked God this morning on the way to work if He would reveal Himself to me. I needed a touch from Him. Then He led you to call and offer me this opportunity."
Look at the details of your day… He is there!

Some Golden Rules Of Photography
Photography is a huge artistic genre to define let alone build some ultimate set in stone rules to adhere to, like many areas of study it's about building your own mantra or guidelines that suit you as a practitioner (regardless of whether you're a happy hobbyist or you make a living from it), for me it's taken years to build my own way of doing things and I thought I'd share a few lessons from along the way. Here are some of my golden rules in term of photography, what are yours?
#01 || There is no rule that can't be bent, let alone broken
#02 || Style is something that can change and evolve over time (which can take years), as can your taste. Speaking of which ...
#03 || You can like many more style aesthetics than you create but you don't have to like everything
#04 || Not everyone will like what you do and that's OK but in some circles (mostly educational) there are some general no-nos and guidelines to follow but as always there are exceptions to the rule
#05 || Sometimes what you see in your mind's eye in terms of planning doesn't always translate into reality for whatever reason, you may encounter a bad patch but it won't last
#06 || You don't need 'all' the editing to make your images sing but it can enhance them
#07 || On occasion only 1 out of a 100 photographs can be one you pick
#08 || Photography is all about the ability to capture light, how you do so is completely your choice
#09 || It doesn't always capture the truth but it captures a moment
#10 || Opportunities for potential images can be found on very corner it all depends on your point of view, interests and aesthetic style
#11 || Like any art discipline what works for one person will not work for all
#12 || Research is key, it can back up your thinking and challenge you and others to new thoughts
#13 || Those who say 'Photography is an easy subject' to undertake can't truly appreciate the work that goes into it
#14 || Asking others for constructive criticism can help push you to new heights and how you see your work
#15 || There are no real fast or hard rules and many artists have made their name from breaking them

How to Paint Kitchen Cabinets
With a Simple Faux Painting Technique
Create Tuscan Painted Kitchen Cabinets
There is something romantic about painted kitchen cabinets. They lend an exquisite, Provencal country feel to a room. Their delicately blended paints and thin lines of imitation rust make it seem as if the kitchen had been basking in sunlight forever. If you have ugly old kitchen cabinets—perhaps oak with scratched varnish—there is a way to change them into beautiful painted kitchen cabinets with very little effort and even less money.
It's easy and quick if you know the right technique. And since the kitchen is the heart of a home, the last thing you want is a remodel that goes on for weeks. But with paint, a few hours is all it takes to have painted kitchen cabinets that look as if they came out of a catalog.
Painted Kitchen Cabinets: Step #1. Priming
Before your kitchen cabinets can be painted they must be primed. This will prevent the need to sand the cabinets first. KilZ 2 is a quick drying primer, which you can apply like paint. Your cabinets should look completely painted white when you are finished.
Don't forget to apply the primer both inside and out, or your painted kitchen cabinets will look unprofessional in the end, with the tarnished, old wood still showing inside. Note: You can find KilZ 2 online at Lowe's, Ace Hardware Superstore, or at your local home improvement and paint stores.
Painted Kitchen Cabinets: Step #2. Choosing Colors
our painted kitchen cabinets will look slightly textured when they are finished. This effect is achieved by blending three hues as you paint. The base hue, your primary color, should be the one that you wish to see dominating your painted kitchen cabinets. After you have chosen this color, choose a second color that is two shades darker. Finally, choose a third shade that has a rusty undertones, like burgundy or brick red.
Depending on your taste, you might want your painted kitchen cabinets to have a light gloss. In that case, buy semi-gloss paint. However, bear in mind that flat paint gives painted kitchen cabinets a more rustic look.
Note: You will need no more than one can of paint for the second and third colors, but probably two or three cans of your first color (depending on how big your space is). Also, you will need three to four paint brushes for this project, so be sure to buy a few extras.
Painted Kitchen Cabinets: Step #3. Painting
Since you will be blending three shades as you paint, always work on small areas of your cabinets at one time. This way the paints will not start to dry and smear unevenly.
Begin by painting one kitchen cabinet on the outside with your primary (first) shade. Next, with a fresh brush, smear a few long lines of your third (rusty) color. Now, with another new brush, blend in the sharp lines of brick red or burgundy by smearing them with a paint brush dipped in your primary color.
Leave enough of the red smears to show faintly. Finally, with a new brush again, add highlights with your second (slightly darker) color, smearing them freely with your primary color. Consult the pictures included with this article to see the effect desired.
: There is no right or wrong way of applying the paint, so be playful when you create your painted kitchen cabinets. If you don't like a certain pattern of smears, paint over it with your base color and start again.
Painted Kitchen Cabinets: Step #4. Sealing
Because your painted kitchen cabinets are likely to collect fingerprints and stains over time, it is best to coat the painted surface with Minwax Polycrylic Protective Finish. This clear water-based sealer will give you the flexibility of wiping your painted kitchen cabinets without damaging the paint. Just be sure the painted surfaces are completely dry before you apply this polycryclic finish.
: You can buy Minwax Polycrylic Protective Finish at Lowe's or your local home improvement or paint stores.

Candace Cameron Bure's Daughter Natasha Gets Real for Upcoming Book Release
Singer, model, and Youtube sensation Natasha Bure, daughter of actress Candace Cameron Bure, is gearing up to release her debut book, Let's Be Real.
Following in the footsteps of her New York Times best-selling author mom, the young Bure hopes to spread a powerful message for teens with her upcoming release.
Following the mantra, "this is real, this is life, and we all go through it," Bure's hardcover and e-book edition will be available online and in stores nationwide on March 28.
According to a statement shared with The Christian Post, Let's Be Real "offers an honest approach to living life [while] covering topics teens face daily [and] includes the embarrassing, cringe-worthy, 'I want to close my eyes and plug my ears' kinds of stories because that's what real life is."
The book is also set to feature encouragement, insight, humor, and advice along the way as Bure discusses dealing with acne, friends, relationships, body confidence, self-image and struggling with faith.
"Whether it's boyfriends, faith, stress, body image, or having fun, my view is to simply be honest, simply be real, no matter what we face, including life's roadblocks," Bure explained in the statement. "I want to encourage others to live their life and not try to be someone else. Be open, honest, and the best you, you can be!"
The forward of Let's Be Real was written by a friend and fellow teen celebrity, Duck Dynasty's Sadie Robertson.
The popular Youtube vlogger has over 70,000 subscribers and has been a big inspiration and role model figure for young girls who follow her.
Bure made her singing debut on television during her mother's 40th birthday celebration on "The View." Candace was a co-host on the popular daytime talk show and was consumed with tears during the live taping as her "favorite band" Grammy-nominated duo for KING & COUNTRY surprised her by asking her daughter to join them on stage for the concert.
The proud mom regularly posts videos of her daughter singing worship songs in church and her talent was officially showcased during a brief stint on season 11 of the hit show, "The Voice."
For more information on Bure's release, now available for pre-order, visit the book's website.
