PICTOU, Nova Scotia (From news reports) -- The operator of a pulp and paper mill at the centre of a continuing controversy in Pictou, N.S., has asked the provincial government to allow it an extra year of dumping the mill's wastewater next to the territory of a local First Nation.
Northern Pulp, a bleached kraft paper mill, has until January of 2020 to come up with an alternative to discharging its wastewater at Boat Harbour, a traditional fishing ground of the Pictou Landing First Nation. A provincial law designed to put an end to pollution at Boat Harbour - known as one of Nova Scotia's worst environmental disasters - mandated the stop back in 2015. The harbour, an inlet off the Northumberland Strait, is contaminated with dioxins, mercury, heavy metals and other substances.
At a press conference in Halifax Thursday morning, executives from the mill said the company is making progress on a new wastewater plan but needs an extra year beyond the 2020 deadline to complete construction of a new treatment facility.
"We simply need a bit more time to ensure the time and due diligence to carry out each phase," said Kathy Cloutier, a spokesperson for Northern Pulp.
Executives stopped short of saying the mill, which employs about 300 full-time workers, would shut down if the deadline is not granted, but they implied its operations would be compromised.
"We will not operate illegally under the Boat Harbour Act," said Ms. Cloutier.
The act prohibits discharging of any wastewater after January of 2020; the mill cannot operate without discharging that effluent somewhere.
Ms. Cloutier said the mill is prepared to begin construction on a new treatment facility as soon as the province approves the company's plan - and before any deadline extension is granted.
"We believe we will get that extension," Ms. Cloutier said. "The science is tried and true. We believe in this project."
Under the mill's new plan, treated wastewater would be discharged directly into the Strait, a lucrative and beloved fishing ground for fishermen across three provinces.
Controversy over this plan has bitterly divided Pictou and the communities that surround it. While millworkers and the forestry industry support the plan, numerous protests have been held by groups uniting fishermen, concerned citizens and members of Pictou Landing. They are united in their opposition to any pipe in the Strait.
Pictou Landing held a press conference Thursday morning to mark the one-year countdown to January of 2020 and the closure of Boat Harbour.
Brian Hebert, a lawyer for the Indigenous band, said they are unlikely to agree to any compromise involving an extension of dumping permissions at Boat Harbour. "There is no appetite for that," he said. "They don't want money. They want to clean things up. They are very concerned about their fishing grounds," he said.
Ms. Cloutier said the mill and Pictou Landing "have the same goal. That is to see Boat Harbour returned to its natural state. We just need more time."

Oakley, born in October of 2013, is the cutest little boy.
Reported to be very happy and smart, Oakley is in the wonderful care of China Little Flower. He has no intellectual or physical disabilities.
Oakley likes cartoons, musical toys, singing, dancing, and being cuddled. He likes eating chicken and noodles, but doesn't like sweets. Described as a charmer, he can be shy with strangers, but once he warms up he loves to be the center of attention and can be quite the performer.
Oakley was born with exstrophy of his bladder. Oakley's medical needs don't slow him down though! He runs, jumps, skips, and climbs stairs. He speaks in full sentences, can converse with adults, and likes to ask questions.
Oakley had an operation in August of 2016 and because of complications, he had another procedure in September of 2016. He currently needs an ostomy bag for urine and may need more procedures in the future. Oakley is listed with Madison Adoption Associates and we can't wait to see who his family will be!
Video of Oakley (from when he was listed with another agency) can be found here. Password is waiting.
There is a $1,500 agency grant for Oakley's adoption with Madison Adoption Associates. Other grants may be available based on the adoptive family's circumstances. Agency grants are awarded as agency fee reductions. MAA also partners with the Brittany's Hope Foundation for matching grants, which are given out twice a year (January and July) and to families that are officially matched with a child.
Oakley needs a family with an approved home study to be able to hold his file or move forward with adopting him. If you have an approved home study or a home study in process and are interested in adopting Oakley, please fill out a free PAP Waiting Child Review Form.

I get upset when I hear a client telling me that so and so, who they found on x list, is only charging….
I get upset because we are not expensive. We charge enough to pay our bills. No vacations in Europe, no fancy cars, no large bank accounts.
Let's look at the other quote logically.
The rate quoted on the phone is for how many men? If those men had moving skills and years of experience, what would be a fair wage? If the company pays a reasonable wage to each man does that exceed the rate they quoted?
If not, where is the other money coming from?
Speaking of moving men, do they background check their men? Are they men you would want in your house?
Does the quote include a moving van? If you were to rent a truck, what would you expect to pay for the day? Don't forget gas and tolls. Oh, and add in the cost of renting dollies and hand-trucks and blankets to protect your furniture.
Does the quote include packing? Can they safely move your Flat screen? (just blankets are not OK) Hire a good NJ Moving company
Do they charge for tape? Blankets? Stairs?
Does the quote include liability or insurance? If a man falls, are they covered? If not, you will be paying the medical bills. Is the furniture covered if damaged? If not, you're just out of luck. If the truck damages your mailbox or gutters, are they covered?
I am all about saving money and cutting corners. I do here at company every day.
I would love to meet these movers that can legitimately offer such great pricing, but I do not meet them at education or training seminars, or association meetings. I do not see them at chamber events nor are they supporting our local charities. They are not found on the BBB with "A" ratings.
They are seen on TV when consumers complain about their last mover and they are found during sting operations. (18 last month in NJ) They are seen picking up day laborers at the local corner or at a tavern. They use a fleet of rental trucks, and do not own their own. They have many business names. The advertise on phone poles, bulletin boards and lists .
They prey on us wanting something for what we know is too good to be true.
Faith can move mountains, for everything else there is BD Movers!(tm)

About Zakatify
Muslims work hard to fulfill the obligation of zakat, the annual charitable giving that makes up one of the five pillars of Islam. Theoretically, the power of 2.5% of the collective wealth of Muslim communities could go a long way toward alleviating much of the pain and struggle we see around us.
But the current inefficiency of zakat distribution, particularly in Muslim-minority countries, makes this possible impact all but invisible. We live in a digital, interconnected world, but the way we apply zakat has changed little.
That's why we created Zakatify, an easier and more meaningful way to do your zakat. Zakatify allows you to discover new zakat-eligible charities, create a personalized portfolio of your favorite charities, set a zakat goal and allow automatic distribution of funds, or make immediate donations to the causes you care most about.
Zakatify is more than an app, it represents a charitable community that transforms the scope and spirit of zakat. Interaction between Zakatifiers both amplifies charitable giving as well as more efficiently distributing funds to a diverse set of charities both big and small. Zakatify shows you charities you might be interested in, allows you to interact with others to see what charities they support, and allows you to earn points for meeting your goals.
There is a unique power and possibility in the institution of zakat, and we believe Zakatify can be key to unlocking it for the benefit of both Muslims and their neighbors. We invite you to join us on our journey to make the promise of zakat a reality.

Maurizio Sarri has reiterated his belief that Manchester City are the best team in Europe ahead of Chelsea's trip to the Etihad Stadium, live on Sky Sports.
Pep Guardiola's side only returned to the top of the Premier League table on Wednesday, following their win at Everton, after trailing Liverpool for several weeks.
Chelsea were the first side to beat City in the league this season when they beat the champions 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in December.
However, Sarri's admiration of Guardiola's team has not dimmed, and he said: At the moment, in my opinion, Manchester City is the best team in Europe.
Guardiola is in the third season in the Premier League. We have to try to reduce the gap.

Ky. Voices: Stopping pipeline can't make us safer
The proposed natural gas liquids pipeline has been the subject of many letters and commentaries in the Herald-Leader. Some of these try to convince you that fracking is an evil technology. But actually fracking is saving you money and saving lives. Specifically:
■ The advent of fracking has decreased the cost of natural gas by over a factor of two and helped power the economic recovery. Energy independence has been a national goal for 40 years; this technology is the first to actually decrease our dependence on imported fuels.
■ Extraction industries are never going to be pretty, but drilling for gas is a lot easier on the environment than coal mining.
■ Natural gas burns cleanly, without sending small particles or mercury into the environment. Making electricity from gas improves health by improving air quality, and produces half as much carbon dioxide as burning coal .
So how do natural gas liquids enter the picture, and why do they need to be transported?
NGL are byproducts of natural gas production. They are largely a mixture of small hydrocarbon molecules such as ethane, propane, and butane. They could be used as fuel replacing natural gas or gasoline (it mainly requires adjustment of the air mixture), but have a greater value as a raw material for the chemical industries.
The purpose of the pipeline is to move them from where they are found to where they are needed, so that we can still make something in America.
NGL have low boiling temperatures, so that a spill will evaporate much more rapidly than a fuel oil spill. They are significantly less toxic to the environment (and people) than gasoline or crude oil. If you are concerned about the toxicity of NGL, you should be working to ban propane gas grills, because the tanks for these are already exposing you to propane.
There are many pipelines carrying gas, oil and NGL in the United States. They are a safe and cost-effective means for long-distance transport.
It's pointless to discuss the safety of the NGL pipeline without discussing the alternatives.
Crude oil is being transported by train in Canada because they lack a pipeline; this summer a village was incinerated when a train ran off the tracks. NGL is being shipped in the U.S. by train, too, as well as by truck over shorter distances. There might be a tank car or tanker truck carrying NGL through Lexington right now.
How is opposing the pipeline making us safer?

I Have Nothing But Love For This Beautiful Website I Designed For Katie Linter!
Katie of First Come Love Events is scheduled to be on my calendar at the end of June ... early July to begin her website design with me ;) BUT ... I had a crazy burst of creative energy that was directly inspired by her brand, personality, events, and sweetness ... and sooooooo .... I started early and now we are having a launch party for her NEW WEBSITE that I am beyond obsessed with.
How can I explain what it was like to work with Katie of First Comes Love Events, a wedding planner in Beverly Hills ... well, just throw every positive and awesome word that you know out there and that will do it. Katie Linter is AMAZING and working with her was a dream. The process of designing for Katie allowed me to tap into my intuition and design FOR HER a website that was exactly what she wanted ...
Below is the scrolling and 'click worthy' homepage I designed for First Comes Love Events:
I had so much fun playing with diagonal lines and geometric shapes ... when it came time for her portfolio I came up with an energetic thumbnail look that supported the rest of the website:
I am so curious to see what this new website look does for the already VERY successful business that Katie Linter has grown in Southern California ... I already am seeing her Squarespace analytics looking better .. and it's only been a week!
Next up for Katie and I??? I'm lucky enough to continue working with her on marketing materials that will reflect her online look and brand ... SO EXCITED to see what ends up happening with those!

PECL/mysqlnd_ms 1.6 series
- Release date: TBD
- Motto/theme: Maintenance and initial MySQL Fabric support
This is the current development series. All features are at an early stage. Changes may happen at any time without prior notice. Please, do not use this version in production environments.
The documentation may not reflect all changes yet.
Bug fixes
Won't fix: #66616 R/W split fails: QOS with mysqlnd_get_last_gtid with built-in MySQL GTID
This is not a bug in the plugins implementation but a server side feature limitation not considered and documented before. MySQL 5.6 built-in GTIDs cannot be used to ensure session consistency when reading from slaves in all cases. In the worst case the plugin will not consider using the slaves and fallback to using the master. There will be no wrong results but no benefit from doing GTID checks either.
Fixed #66064 - Random once load balancer ignoring weights
Due to a config parsing bug random load balancing has ignored node weights if, and only if, the sticky flag was set (random once).
Fixed #65496 - Wrong check for slave delay
The quality of service filter has erroneously ignored slaves that lag for zero (0) seconds if a any maximum lag had been set. Although a slave was not lagging behind, it was excluded from the load balancing list if a maximum age was set by the QoS filter. This was due to using the wrong comparison operator in the source of the filter.
Fixed #65408 - Compile failure with -Werror=format-security
Feature changes
Introduced an internal connection pool. When using Fabric and switching from shard group A to shard group B, we are replacing the entire list of masters and slaves. This troubles the connections state alignment logic and some filters. Some filters cache information on the master and slave lists. The new internal connection pool abstraction allows us to inform the filters of changes, hence they can update their caches.
Later on, the pool can also be used to reduce connection overhead. Assume you are switching from a shard group to another and back again. Whenever the switch is done, the pool's active server (and connection) lists are replaced. However, no longer used connections are not necessarily closed immediately but can be kept in the pool for later reuse.
Please note, the connection pool is internalat this point. There are some new statistics to monitor it. However, you cannot yet configure pool size of behaviour.
Added a basic distributed transaction abstraction. XA transactions can are supported ever since using standard SQL calls. This is inconvenient as XA participants must be managed manually. PECL/mysqlnd_ms introduces API calls to control XA transaction among MySQL servers. When using the new functions, PECL/mysqlnd_ms acts as a transaction coordinator. After starting a distributed transaction, the plugin tracks all servers involved until the transaction is ended and issues appropriate SQL statements on the XA participants.
This is useful, for example, when using Fabric and sharding. When using Fabric the actual shard servers involved in a business transaction may not be known in advance. Thus, manually controlling a transaction that spawns multiple shards becomes difficult. Please, be warned about current limitations.
Introduced automatic retry loop for transient errors and corresponding statistic to count the number of implicit retries. Some distributed database clusters use transient errors to hint a client to retry its operation in a bit. Most often, the client is then supposed to halt execution (sleep) for a short moment before retrying the desired operation. Immediately failing over to another node is not necessary in response to the error. Instead, a retry loop can be performed. Common situation when using MySQL Cluster.

Immediately failing over to another node is not necessary in response to the error. Instead, a retry loop can be performed. Common situation when using MySQL Cluster.
Introduced most basic support for the MySQL Fabric High Availability and sharding framework.
Please, consider this pre-alpha quality. Both the server side framework and the client side code is supposed to work flawless considering the MySQL Fabric quickstart examples only. However, testing has not been performed to the level of prior plugin alpha releases. Either sides are moving targets, API changes may happen at any time without prior warning.
As this is work in progress, the manual may not yet reflect allow feature limitations and known bugs.
New statistics to monitor the Fabric XML RPC call sharding.lookup_servers: fabric_sharding_lookup_servers_success, fabric_sharding_lookup_servers_failure, fabric_sharding_lookup_servers_time_total, fabric_sharding_lookup_servers_bytes_total, fabric_sharding_lookup_servers_xml_failure.
New functions related to MySQL Fabric: mysqlnd_ms_fabric_select_shard(), mysqlnd_ms_fabric_select_global(), mysqlnd_ms_dump_servers().


text: This love note is amazing! So honored to have shot this wedding. Thank you Amy + Steven! "Dana captured some very special moments--and they were absolutely perfect. Keeping in mind, I've taken photography classes so I know...one has to take hundreds to find that special one. Dana captured perhaps one of the most special moments--it was the couple minutes before I walked down the aisle with my dad and in the photo I was smiling up at him as he was looking ahead with a smile on his face. I can't believe I even considered not hiring any photographer (I'm not much of a wedding person) but in the end, it's all about the photos because the day goes by in a flash. I am so happy I called Dana. She actually photographed my good friend's wedding, and as I was a bridesmaid I already knew her easy-going spirit and amazing work. I was considering just eloping, too, but Dana's photos made me so glad I had a wedding after all. It was a pretty special day. You will be so lucky to have Dana at your wedding."

President Trump Signs Historic VA Reform Bill into Law
WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Donald Trump today signed into law the Department of Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act of 2017, historic VA reform legislation.
The new law expands the 2014 VA reform law by granting VA Secretary Dr. David Shulkin increased flexibility to fire, suspend, or demote any VA employee – regardless of rank – for poor performance or misconduct. The law also contains increased protections for whistleblowers who expose wrongdoing within the VA.
U.S. Representative Martha Roby (R-Ala.) was present at the White House for the bill signing and said the law brings unprecedented, long overdue accountability to the VA.
"I was honored to be at the White House as President Trump signed this historic VA reform legislation into law," Roby said. "For far too long there has been a culture of complacency at the VA, and our own Central Alabama VA became a prime example of poor performance, negligence, and even abuse. These new accountability standards and whistleblower protections will lead to better care for veterans. I appreciate the commitment President Trump and Secretary Shulkin have shown to work with Congress to enact long overdue changes at the VA."

|Vehicle Forensics: A Rapidly Growing Source of Evidence
|Written by KRISTI MAYO
AUGUST 2017: IN THE EARLY HOURS of the morning, several individuals get into an altercation at a bar. The incident moves outside to the streets where an 18-year-old throws a bottle, damaging the side-view mirror of a red Ford Mustang belonging to one of the antagonists. The 18-year-old flees with a companion on a moped. Meanwhile, the Mustang owner, in a rage, pursues them at high speed, until moments later the Mustang crashes into the moped from behind, leaving one rider dead, another severely injured, and a homicide case for detectives to investigate.

There were differing stories from witnesses, gaps in the evidence gathered from closed-circuit cameras, forensics from two vehicles and the crime scene itself. All left key questions about precisely what had happened during the chase. Prosecutors and police were pursuing a charge of "death by dangerous driving" instead of murder, based on the initial investigation by the Metropolitan Police Service in London.
But a relatively new source of digital evidence—the data stored inside the vehicle systems—revealed that the driver of the Mustang was accelerating as his car approached and at the precise moment of impact with the moped. Additional data was found on the vehicle systems that showed deliberate actions taken by the driver of the vehicle to harm the riders of the moped, as well as pinpointing the precise route taken from the bar to the location of impact. With this new evidence in hand, the charge was elevated to murder, and the prosecution argued decisively that, "It was rapid, it was brutal, and it was unrelenting. He pursued the moped down a straight stretch of road at speed. Not to apprehend the two people on it, but to mow them down for daring to damage his prized vehicle." (Sharman, 2018)
A jury convicted the driver of murder as well as attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm. He received a 23-year sentence. "It quickly became apparent that the assailant had targeted the moped," said the police detective assigned to the case.
Over the last five years, the data stored in vehicle systems has become a rich source of key evidence for investigators and prosecutors. Modern vehicles in particular are a complex network of highly integrated electronic systems. According to Berla Vehicle Forensics, typical vehicles contain more than 75 computer systems, run over 150 million lines of code, and generate more that 25 gigabytes of data per hour.
Much of the critical data that can be acquired from vehicles comes from the infotainment and telematics systems. The data provides a wealth of information, and falls into three main categories: Event Data (speed, acceleration, braking, shifting, doors opening/closing, etc.), Location Data (destinations, routes, and tracklogs) and data from Connected Devices, such as mobile phones, that have been physically or wirelessly connected to a vehicle (calls, texts, contact lists, apps, images, etc.)
Recognizing the value and potential of vehicle-system forensics, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate's (S&T's) Cyber Security Division initiated a partnership in 2013 with the Berla Corporation, a U.S.-based company, to accelerate this technology. The partnership has resulted in the development of a collection of vehicle-system forensic tools that is being adopted by more and more law enforcement agencies worldwide. In 2017, Berla entered into a strategic partnership with MSAB in order to enable investigators to analyze the data acquired from vehicle systems side-by side with the data acquired from mobile phones. In July 2018, Berla celebrated five years in the vehicle system forensics market. The company has grown from supporting less than 100 models of vehicles when they first started in 2013, to well over 12,000 models worldwide.
Two of the biggest challenges for law enforcement agencies conducting vehicle system forensics are identifying the systems installed in a vehicle and knowing where those systems are located within the vehicle. There are other challenges such as knowing what data may be contained in those systems. In response to these challenges, Berla developed the iVe-Mobile app that gives investigators the ability to look up vehicles and determine what data may be stored in the systems as well as provide instructions for removing and accessing the vehicle systems. The iVe-Mobile app is available on iOS and Android and is currently free for law enforcement agencies.
With more than 1.6 billion vehicles on the road worldwide, the field of vehicle-system forensics is maturing at a rapid rate. More and more law enforcement agencies are using this technology to uncover key evidence to help investigators determine what happened, where it occurred, and who was involved.

SKELETONIZED REMAINS that were carefully unearthed from the desert sands of Iraq tell their own story: the bones of an adult, still dressed in a woman's apparel, lie supine. The skull is perforated by a bullet hole. Tucked in the space between the ribs and the left humerus is a much smaller skeleton, bones in the skull un-fused, and the fully clothed body partially swaddled in a blanket.

Liam Hemsworth's breakout role happened in 2010 when he starred alongside future wife Miley Cyrus in the movie "The Last Song." Shortly after, he starred in the wildly popular dystopian franchise called "The Hunger Games" with Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson. And by the time the final movie hit theaters in 2015, Hemsworth had already become a household name in Hollywood.
Even though Hemsworth has shared details about himself (and his famous family) over the years, there are some facts that people might not be aware of.
Here are nine things you probably didn't know about Hemsworth.
"I lived on a tiny island and I must have done every job you can do on that island," he told Vanity Fair.
He also worked as a park ranger and would tell people where to sit at an event called the Penguin Parade.
Hemsworth's brothers, Chris and Luke, used to call him "Diplodocus," which he says is a large slow-moving dinosaur.
Hemsworth revealed the fun fact after explaining to Men's Fitness that he's a "complete goofball."
He had another nickname, too. His uncles used to call him "Triple Six," a reference to the devil's number, because he was so mischievous.
She was also and an English teacher, and he had her for both classes for two years in a row.
"It was interesting until she starts talking about her own personal experiences," Hemsworth recalled during an appearance on NBC's "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno." "That's when I just head out the door."
The actor added that he got so uncomfortable that he just wouldn't show up to the class.
"No child should have to be taught sex education by their mom," he added.
He went vegan while training for the movie "Independence Day: Resurgence" and was inspired by "Hunger Games" co-star Woody Harrelson.
"My own health, and after all the information I gathered about the mistreatment of animals, I couldn't continue to eat meat," Hemsworth told Men's Fitness in 2015. "The more I was aware of, the harder and harder it was to do."
The actor said that he has plenty of friends who are vegan, like Harrelson, which further led him to change his diet habits. Since adopting a vegan lifestyle, Hemsworth has noticed physical differences.
"When I was eating meat I'd feel sluggish after meals and constantly want to lie down and have a nap," he told Men's Health UK. "Now I feel like my energy levels are much more consistent."
"Surfing's my favorite thing to do in the world," he told Men's Fitness. "I'd rather do that than anything. If I could travel around the world and surf for a living, I would."
Liam and Chris used to fight all the time growing up, and one time Liam threw a knife at his older brother.
Liam said that he and Chris "used to fight non-stop." It was so bad that the two siblings once had to stay with separate family members when their parents went away on a trip for three months.
When Liam was 8 years old, he flung a throwing knife (which is different from a typical kitchen knife) at Chris' head. The latter star didn't get hurt though, since he was hit by the handle rather than the blade.
"It was just like a warning," Liam explained during an appearance on TBS' "Conan." "Like if you mess with me, I'll throw a knife at your head."
The actor added that one of the low points was when their mom broke her finger while trying to break up one of their fist fights.
And even though Liam and Luke never got into physical fights, he did team up with Chris to put the youngest sibling in the dryer. They never turned the heat on, but they'd let Liam spin inside.
The movie that makes him cry is "Titanic," because he knows that Leonardo DiCaprio's character dies.
The movie gets Hemsworth every time because "seeing that beautiful guy [Jack, played by DiCaprio] die is so heartbreaking."
Liam was one of the final four or five guys, but he was too young at the time so director Kenneth Branagh went with Chris.
Chris went in for one audition and thought he nailed it, but didn't get a response back. According to the "Avengers" star, he was filming "Cabin in the Woods" with writers Josh Whedon and Drew Goddard and after seeing the top contenders, they asked Chris why he wasn't being considered.
Chris' manager then managed to get him a second audition, which went much better than the first.
"I came in kind of with a little, I guess, motivation and maybe frustration that my little brother had gotten further than me," he told W magazine. "It's a little family, sibling rivalry sort of kicked up in me. Then it moved pretty quick from there."

10 Epic Reasons Valentine's Day is For Everyone!
"What's love got to do - got to do with it?! What's love but a secondhand emotion?" Sing it Tina!
Oh hey there! Glad you could join me today to examine the idea of love this Valentine's Day! This post will not be super mushy, but it will not be stoic either. It's gonna be somewhere right in the middle! Getting too mushy makes people uncomfortable + being stoic about love is just plain old creepy... Ready for those epic reasons? Here we go...
#10 | There are different types of love
The love most people are familiar with is eros love. Eros is interpreted in Ancient Greek as "love" or "desire." In it's purest context eros is an intimacy between lovers. Agape love is the highest form of love and those who know it's meaning often strive to offer love like this. Agape love is the type of love I discussed on the Periscope about ways to reflect genuine love. Agape love says I love you enough to be honest with you. Agape love says when you need help, I will be there to support you. Agape love also knows when to pull back for the good of the relationship. There is so much to be said about what genuine love is, how we reflect it, how it impacts our character development and much more!
#9 | There are levels to love
We teach kids about boundaries and when we "grow up" we completely throw away our boundaries with others. One of the biggest reasons we get hurt so very often is because we don't keep people on the appropriate "level." For example, I may meet someone at work and instantly love the character or personality they show me, but I still need to give the relationship time to develop. If I jump the gun and act like we've been friends since 3rd grade, I run the risk of being crushed when I figure out that person is actually completely different than I thought. I bumped them up a level in our relationship when they either weren't ready or the relationship was never meant to reach that level.

Don't bump people up to levels they were never meant to reach! @seidafthc
#8 | More ways than "Netflix + Chill" to celebrate love
I always hear people say that Valentine's Day is "Singles Awareness Day." Well guess what? It's not! There are tons more ways to celebrate love than Netlfix + Chill! Yes, Valentine's Day is a day where eros love should be celebrated, but it's also a day where people could celebrate genuine friendships. Or families could celebrate having each other. It's not typical, so for some it might sound depressing. When I was a child, we celebrated Valentine's Day by giving/receiving gifts and simply being together. My parents celebrated their relationship as a couple, but also their relationships with us. As a kid, I always had something to look forward to on Valentine's Day. Once I entered into adulthood (during the single years), my friends and I would go to the movies together, go out to eat or just hang out. It wasn't a depressing "Woe is me" time, but we actually had fun together!
#7 | Love is a universal feeling
Love translates between race, age, country, words + anything else you can think of! Love makes us feel good! It feels good when we give love + it feels good when we receive love! Love could be something as simple as a compliment.
#6 | Love is a necessity
There are tons of songs, personal experiences we all have, experiments scientists have conducted that all come to one conclusive fact: everybody needs love. It is not a question or a suggestion, but love is actually essential for survival! Love can be displayed in small acts of kindness. We tend to think of love as this huge thing that no one can figure out - and it is....sometimes... Then there are times where love is so simple that we miss it. Love is sacrificing eating your favorite food near your spouse (for the rest of your life), because your spouse is allergic to it. Love is reading a book to your kid, because it's one of their favorite things to do. Love is waking up at 3 am to go rescue a friend with a flat tire from the expressway. Love is listening to the same story your Mom told you 3 times already. Love is simple, but sometimes we make it complicated.
Click the phrase below to tweet:
I can agree with @seidafthc that love is essential for survival!
#5 | Self-love is very important
How can you love anyone if you don't love yourself? If you have ever taken a ride in an airplane, you've gone through the routine safety demonstration. In the demonstration, the flight attendants tell you the most important portion of helping to save other people's lives is to put your oxygen mask on first. Why? Because you can't be useful if you're not functioning at full capacity. The same is true with our relationships. We have to be a little selfish sometimes in order to be our best for those we love. This means knowing when to take a breather! A breather can be something as simple as 5 minutes alone in the bathroom, 1 hour walking around Target alone or enjoying the game out at Tailgaters!
#4 | Self-confidence (self-love) attracts like-minded people
Your attitude determines the type of people you attract. When someone is confident, it's reflected in their personality, their character + the decisions they make. Everyone wants to be around them, because they are authentic and genuinely invested in the relationships around them. This is a rare quality in today's society, which is why when we run into someone like this we don't want to leave their presence! I'm not talking about someone who is arrogant - I mean someone who is sincere in their desire to give love to others.
#3 | Requires that you pay-it-forward with genuine love
Paying it forward is rewarding! Say what? You heard it right! When is the last time you gave someone a gift you knew they really wanted? Wasn't it exciting to see their faces when they opened the gift? Didn't it make you feel good to know they were truly grateful? Giving from the heart feels good! If you've never given from the heart with no expectations, I would encourage you to try it. Seriously...attempt to give from the heart at a completely unexpected time (not the holiday season) with absolutely no expectations of receiving anything in return!
#2 | Love keeps you alive
Think about the lowest moment in your life. Go on + think about it...even though it might be painful....what other emotions did you feel? What was going on in your life? Was it chaotic? Did you feel overwhelmed? Now take a moment to think about the people who were involved in helping you pull through that rough patch. I'm sure there is at least one specific person who came to mind. It sounds really silly to say love keeps you alive, but it's true. There is an extremely thin line between sanity + insanity. Whoever helped you pull through that situation could have saved you from crossing that line.
#1 | There are ALWAYS people in your life to celebrate Valentine's Day with!
As Valentine's Day approaches, I would encourage you to think about it differently this year. Celebrate with your family, but don't forget to celebrate with others who may not necessarily have a significant other. Celebrate with your friends! Celebrate by volunteering (genuine love) at a homeless shelter + making someone feel special there! Celebrate with an elderly person who may not have family! It doesn't really matter which option you choose, as long as you're giving freely of yourself!
How are you planning on reflecting genuine love this Valentine's Day? What are your #epicreasons Valentine's Day is for everyone? Let me know in the comments below or on social media!

Caroline Jones / Nate Daviau
Please see the full events listing for upcoming events.
Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Caroline Jones coproduced her album Bare Feet with Grammy-winning and Academy Award–winning producer Ric Wake (Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, and Trisha Yearwood). Bare Feet rose to no. 20 on the country albums chart and no. 15 on the iTunes country albums chart. The album features the single "Tough Guys," which spent six weeks at no. 1 on CMT.com's 12-Pack Countdown.
Rolling Stone named Jones one of the "10 Country Artists You Need to Know," calling her "an ambitious, entrepreneurial guitar heroine primed to bring back the pop-country glory of the Nineties." Billboard called her one of the "15 Country Artists to Watch in 2018." Throughout 2018, Jones has been touring with artists such as Jimmy Buffett, the Eagles, Zac Brown Band, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill.
In 2017, she was on the road with Zac Brown Band and shared the stage with Jimmy Buffett, Kenny Chesney, and Toby Keith at the Trying to Reason hurricane relief benefit concert. A live duet with Buffett led to a charity single release and, ultimately, a partnership with his label, Mailboat Records. Jones previously toured schools and universities nationwide—including underserved and charter schools with Stedman Graham—on the Heart Is Smart School Tour. Jones is the host of Art & Soul on SiriusXM.
Hailing from the north and inspired by the south, Nate Daviau (pronounced Dav-ee-o) is a Toronto, Canada–born artist and songwriter. Daviau is an engaging performer who has a natural and easy connection with the audience. Although he is country artist, inspired by alt-country greats such as Chris Stapleton and Jason Isbell, Daviau has a variety of influences from pop, folk, gospel, and jazz. His distinctive voice, meaningful turn of phrase, and lyrical ease partner with hook-oriented melodies to make his songs catchy and memorable.

Most Valued Proposition, Positioning and Differentiation Strategy
Companies often speak in terms of their (UVPs) Unique Value Propositions as if it's easy to create UVPs and stay aligned. UVPs were quite popular in the 20th century, but it seems to get more difficult every day to possess a true UVP and few prospects believe you. The reality is you must communicate your Most Valued Propositions (including UVPs if you have any), but UVPs are not necessary to stand out. Understanding your customers, matching your messages to your understanding, and offering a unique perspective is much more critical.
The positioning and differentiation strategy you want in the marketplace is a combination of the MVPs (Most Valued Propositions) you have and the quality of your subject matter experts. You must learn over time how to communicate those values to the right personas at the right time to truly engage them.
These are projects someone like Growth Visions can perform with you, helping you find these positioning answers. You must start with the customers and prospects. What are their pains and aspirations? What are they missing? What is it they must achieve from a rational and emotional standpoint? The answers to these questions point to your opportunity and must be matched with what you have to offer now and in the near future. Otherwise, you will be having customer meetings with little to show for it - since you never engaged your audience.
Who hasn't heard the story of the marketer who wasn't connecting with new prospects? Maybe worse, a salesperson who got commoditized? Marketing leads are difficult to create and the salesperson fails to establish a foothold without something they know the prospect requires. It all goes back to the Most Valued Propositions for the personas we have defined. We need MVPs and we have the responsibility to not waver from repeating our positioning statements as often as possible when appropriate. The provider may get tired of repeating saying them, but your prospective buying teams need to hear them over and over to anchor your differentiation.
When your company has done a thoughtful job with you Most Valued Propositions, it makes growth easier for everyone. You are no longer living with a lack of message discipline that confuses your audiences.
There have been so many books, white papers and blogs written about market positioning. Yet, if you attend marketing meetings, you will continue to see non market-leading companies struggle with how they fit in the world. This is because companies lack the discipline of the message. They get antsy about changing things up to get more growth, when the answer is often Most Valued Proposition discipline. Anything else is a path to no man's land.
You can beat larger competitors
The truth is being second or third in a market is not a life sentence or unprofitable. Finding your value and placing the right kind of customer habits around that value can propel you into new opportunities. Our job is to help you find your value, then if needed, build the marketing and sales experience needed to inform the world. We have competed with companies much larger than our's and won. You can too.
Some questions for you:
Do you know what your true market strengths are?
Can you prove these strengths?
Have you distilled your messages so you are clear to your Personas?
Do you know the multiple Personas you want to reach?
Are you aligned on how you communicate them with customers, employees, and all stakeholders?
Contact Growth Visions to learn more about defining your Most Valued Propositions for your Personas and our Market Differentiation services.

So I'm finally getting around to writing my blog post about my first ITWBN (Into The West Blogger Network) which was last Sunday in the Radisson Hotel in Galway.
What's it about?
ITWBN is basically a blogging family, set up by Sinead Carroll from Yummy Mummy blog and Saibh Egan a fashion photographer! Everyone who attended is a blogger or MUA or the likes! So it's a great way to network, meet new people and learn lots from each other!
It was really nice to meet up with people that also blog because you all have the same questions or funny stories, and can relate to each other (or just talk about blogging non-stop instead of boring the heads off my friends 😛 )
It was my first ever ITWBN event so I was really nervous and excited because I didn't know anyone and it's always a bit scary going to an event on your own! But I always feel better after doing something new like that – kind of like I've accomplished something, if that makes sense?
I was really eager to go and see what it would be like, and listen to the speeches, meet everyone, and be inspired!
What I Wore
My outfit was all from River Island (surprise surprise :P) and I also wore my Mi Moneda that my mam got me for Christmas last year with my blue coin
The Event
When I arrived I met Michelle from David Mc Conville orthodontics – Clearbraces, which I am currently just over half way through and she introduced me to a few people and I found my seat at the Kylemore Abbey table, where my goodie bag and name badge was waiting for me
We had a while to mingle and meet everyone before the speeches started and to go around to the different businesses or table that were there with their products!
Barbara that works with me in River Island was there with her Basanti jewellery collection!
I loved this cake made specially for the event by A Modern Mommy's World
The speeches were by Marika Burke from GalwayMarketing.ie, Siobhan Mc Donnell from LetzMakeUp, Richie Spence from Beautifi.com, The Galway Player, and Kate Kelly from Cocoa Brown Tan.
The Goodie Bag
There was sooo much stuff in the goodie bag I was shocked when I got home and emptied it on my bed! Goodies from Benefit, The Body Shop, Isa Dora, Wet n' Wild, Glam Glow and Debenhams to name a few!
Debenhams gave us all a €50 voucher each!! I got my first Naked Palette with mine, I wanted to buy one for ages and I want to do more beauty blogging so this was perfect
All in all I had a really amazing time and I'm SO happy I went! I found the speeches really inspiring, learning new tips and listening to the speaker's own personal stories
I can't wait for May for the next one!!
Big thanks to Saibh and Sinead for all your hard work it was an amazing event!
Well Done
I hope you enjoyed reading
I have reached over 10,000 views on my blog thank you

A March 11 article about the killing of Christian peace activist Tom Fox incorrectly identified a professor who was a friend of Fox's. She is Lisa Schirch, not Janet Schirch.
Virginian Taken Hostage in Iraq Is Found Dead
Saturday, March 11, 2006
Tom Fox, the Virginia peace activist who was taken hostage last year in Iraq, has been found dead, a State Department spokesman said last night. The FBI verified that a body found in Baghdad on Thursday morning was that of Fox, according to the State Department. It was not immediately clear last night when he had been killed or how. Nothing was said immediately about the circumstances leading to the discovery of the body.
Concern for Fox, a 54-year-old resident of Clear Brook, Va., who was kidnapped in November, had risen this week after he was not seen in the broadcast of a video of three fellow kidnapped Christian peace activists.
On Tuesday, al-Jazeera television aired the footage of the three other activists purportedly appealing to their governments to secure their release. A January video, in which Fox had appeared, said all the captives would die unless U.S. and Iraqi authorities released all prisoners held in Iraq.
Noel Clay, a State Department spokesman, said he had no information on the three other hostages. Clay said that "additional forensics" on Fox's body "will be done in the United States."
Fox disappeared Nov. 26 in Baghdad, along with Norman Kember, 74, of Britain, and James Loney, 41, and Harmeet Singh Sooden, 32, both of Canada. The four worked with Christian Peacemaker Teams, a Toronto- and Chicago-based group that opposes the Iraq war and has criticized treatment of detainees in U.S. and Iraqi jails.
All four had appeared in two earlier videos released by their captors, a little-known group called the Swords of Righteousness Brigade. The group has accused the four of spying for Western governments.
In Baghdad, a U.S. military spokesman, Lt. Col. Barry Johnson, said early Saturday that he had no information on the discovery.
Fox, a Quaker, lived in Northern Virginia for more than 30 years before moving to Clear Brook, near Winchester. He was the father of two college-age children and was an assistant manager at a Whole Foods supermarket in Springfield before quitting to join Christian Peacemaker Teams. He had been going to Iraq since September 2004.
Fox was for years a member of Langley Hill Friends Meeting in McLean, which has been holding weekly vigils for his release. Paul Slattery, a member of the meeting, said that he had been in touch with Fox's family and that they wanted to take the lead on any response.
Marge Epstein, a friend of Fox's who attends the meeting, told WRC-TV (Channel 4): "We are absolutely grief-stricken."
Janet Schirch, a friend who had taught Fox at Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, Va., said he "knew this might happen when he went to Iraq." She said that like the troops who gave their lives for the security of Iraq, "Tom did that, too. Many, many soldiers have given their lives in Iraq for security, and it's important for Americans to recognize that Tom did that, too."
Fox's death came against a background of numerous kidnappings of foreigners in Iraq. More than 400 foreigners and thousands of Iraqis have been kidnapped in Iraq since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003. At least 40 foreigners have been killed, according to the Associated Press. Fox was the seventh American hostage to have been killed in Iraq.
In one of the kidnappings that has received widespread attention, Jill Carroll, 28, an American freelance reporter for the Christian Science Monitor, was seized in Baghdad on Jan. 7 by gunmen who killed her interpreter. Carroll has been shown in three videotapes that were aired in January and February.
In his announcement last night, Clay, the State Department spokesman, said that "additional forensics will be done in the United States."
Clay said Fox's "family has been notified. Our heartfelt condolences go out to them. The State Department continues to call for the unconditional release of all other hostages."
In a statement released last night, Christian Peacemaker Teams said the group mourned Fox, who combined "a lightness of spirit, a firm opposition to all oppression and the recognition of God in everyone." It said his death "pierces us with pain."
After the airing of the video of the three hostages this week, a spokeswoman for Christian Peacemaker Teams, Jessica Phillips, expressed satisfaction at seeing three of the four hostages alive but added, "We do not know what to make of Tom Fox's absence from this video."
The statement added, "We believe that the root cause of the abduction of our colleagues is the U.S.- and British-led invasion and occupation of Iraq."
Hoyt Maulden was a member of Fox's five-person "support team." Last night, a woman who answered the phone at Maulden's Fairfax County home said that Maulden did not wish to comment.
Fox had recognized that his peace activities entailed possible danger. He had left instructions as to what should be done if he was kidnapped. "Under no circumstances did he want any violent efforts to rescue him," Maulden said.
A grainy, silent video aired on al-Jazeera in January showed Fox and the three other hostages, looking gaunt and exhausted. The channel's news reader said the captors were giving U.S. and Iraqi authorities a "last chance" to release all prisoners in their custody. Otherwise, they said, the captives' "fate will be death."
The group had earlier set a Dec. 8 deadline for their execution, later extending it to Dec. 10. The January video was the first sign since the deadline passed that they were still alive.
In December, Fox's daughter, Katherine, made a tape that was seen on al-Jazeera. She said her father had "always been a wanderer."
"He believes that the real purpose of travel is to experience environments other than our own," she said. "When my brother and I were little, our family would visit a different city every year. . . . We got lost on purpose so that we were able to learn a new way back. . . . My father was teaching us to see opportunity in every step, planned or otherwise."
Fox was born in Chattanooga and graduated with a double degree in music performance and education from George Peabody College for Teachers, now part of Vanderbilt University, in Nashville.
An accomplished clarinetist, he spent 20 years playing with the Marine Corps Band, most of that time in the Washington area, said a friend who spoke on condition of anonymity. As a band member, the friend said, Fox was not required to undergo Marine Corps basic training.
Correspondent Ellen Knickmeyer in Baghdad contributed to this report.

Born in America to Liberian refugees, all Archel Bernard wanted was to fit in. It wasn�t always possible. Questions were asked about the jollof rice in her lunch box and then there was her mother, who insisted on picking her up from school in traditional West African dress.
Her view has changed at 30. As the designer of a Liberian clothing line sewn by Ebola survivors and rape victims, she works hard to stand out.
The likes of The New York Times, Forbes magazine and CNN have shared her story; Grammy Award winner Kelly Rowland is a fan of her designs. The social entrepreneur and business coach arrives here today, invited by local writer and entrepreneur Kristin White.
Archel believes her talk at the Bermuda Society of Arts tomorrow will especially resonate with anyone who has a big idea but is afraid to act.
�Individuals from small countries can have such a great impact on our creative economies,� she said.
�Liberia is officially known as the poorest country in the world. It would be easy for me to leave it there � we�re the poorest country, we�re not even the coolest African country; we don�t influence culture.
�But ... what if we�re known for putting women to work and making dope ass clothes? It�s something creative entrepreneurs in Bermuda should strive for � what if Bermuda can be known for this thing I do really well?
�Especially with creative entrepreneurs selling an item; maybe somebody in London wants art made in Bermuda. I read about a skincare product made with Bermuda water; maybe it can brighten someone�s skin in Russia.
�You could leave it as, �We�re so small there�s no chance for us to have an impact� or, �We�re so small my voice is going to be the one heard around the world�. Employment is fine but if you�re meant to do more, stretch yourself more. Don�t silence that. At any point in your day, do it. Don�t short-change your life.�
When she was 23, she moved to Monrovia, the capital city her parents fled from in 1989 to escape civil unrest.
Mango Rags, the boutique she opened there with clothes of her own design, had received international attention but she was forced to close when the Ebola virus became an epidemic in 2014.
Archel dug into her savings and travelled during what was �a crazy, scary time� for Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. Once the epidemic cleared in 2015, she began rebuilding and rebranding with a kick-starter campaign designed to grow her business and help her fellow West Africans.
�When Ebola happened, I had a retail store just for me, so I could have pretty dresses and be a pretty Third World socialite in African clothes,� she said.
�I realised I wanted to have a social impact; that it wasn�t enough to have a selfish business.�
She devised a plan to improve the lot of Liberian women, focusing on their sexual health and literacy so they would have the tools to develop as entrepreneurs. She then reopened Mango Rags and built a manufacturing plant that would produce her designs on top of it, The Bombchel Factory.
Her next charge: to generate enough interest to ensure work for her staff of �unhireables� that she fondly calls �Bombchels�.
Coverage in The New York Times gave her project a huge boost � 616 backers provided $66,089.
Further interest came after she showed her designs at New York Fashion Week, and got to work partnering with �every magazine and outlet� she could. Those efforts enabled Archel to double her staff and increase garment production capacity by five.
She has given new life to 20 women; eight of whom are currently on staff with The Bombchel Factory.
�My first hire, when she came, she couldn�t write her name,� she said. �She was an Ebola widow, a mom at 13, and now she�s the breadwinner in her family and earns more than anybody in her community ... because she was given the opportunity to prove herself. Don�t count out people who are considered unhireable or opportunities that are considered impossible, because that�s where you write the best story.
�Half of our team has gone [to school] for the first time or returned to school because of income earned as Bombchels. It just started with a commitment to do something more for someone else than myself.�
She thinks the grounding she received from her parents set her on the right course.
�My parents, being refugees, let me know that I was lucky because I landed on two feet and I�ve been given education and a world view,� she said.
�They let me know nothing is impossible. I just have to stay the course.
�Harder things have come true. Women in Liberia ended the war, they protested until the war ended. So, if all I have to do is build a factory and hire women and sell clothes around the world, then that�s easy. Women fled Liberia with their children � their daughters were raped, their sons were turned into soldiers. All I have to do is build a factory and get clothes out to people. Far harder things happen within a mile of where my factory is.�
There was no electricity in the area when she considered opening her factory; she did it anyway.
�I think that where you find the hardest circumstances, that�s where you build the identity of a good brand. It would have been easy for us to say, �We can�t do it, there�s no power here�, but instead we said �We�ll use manual machines. We don�t need power�.
�Our factory has been open three years and we just got electricity a few months ago. When people see our fashion, they think everything is glamorous. They don�t picture the owner cranking a generator. When they see our pieces on Kelly Rowland, they don�t think they were made on my manual sewing machine.�
Anyone with the right drive and business plan could do as well as she has, Archel insisted.
�I believe miracles happen all the time. You just have to do the work and then look for the opportunity. By being prepared, lucky things happen all the time.�
� Shop Archel Bernard�s designs at itsarchel.com. Join her and Kristin White at the Bermuda Society of Arts at 6.30pm tomorrow for a �curated conversation on living your life�s passion�. Tickets, $35, available at ptix.bm/bombchel. Join them again on Sunday at 10am for brunch and instruction on how to make a sarong using Liberian tie- dyed fabrics. Tickets, $75, available at ptix.bm/bombchel

Personal branding photography can have a huge impact on your business and your bottom line. This wonderful Brooklyn acupuncturist took this to heart when she hired me recently. You can use your branding photographs in several ways: place them throughout your website, use them in posts on your social media platforms, place them in your newsletters and e-blasts, use them in press releases about an event or new offering you have, refresh your profile pictures every few months so that people see a new image of you, place them in your sales and web-landing pages, submit an image along with your bio when you have a speaking engagement, put one in your email signature and use them in your printed marketing pieces. Investing in high-quality, authentic photography is required if you want your visuals to play a crucial role in delivering the personality of your brand.

Little boy who changed a stranger's life
Our ten-month-old son, Sebastian, The Seb, or Sebby to those who knew him, gained a magnetic command of a room anywhere he ventured. He was chubby, robust and completely loveable. He died when he was 311 days old. His dying and the circumstances that led to it came as a complete shock to us, and… Read More »

Below is the brief of how the provinces offered Canada Visa ITAs to immigrants even as the Canadian provinces welcomed diverse applications from entrepreneurs, professionals, and students.
This province enhanced its yearly intake of applications for Canada Visa ITAs to 2, 600 from 1,700 for its Express entry sub-category. There was also a minimal increase in the In-demand occupations subcategory by 300. Increases by Saskatchewan for SINP sub-categories indicate it may further increase intake in both of its categories before the end of 2017.
Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia Express Entry Demand is another popular Canada Provincial Nominee Program. It is a part of the Nominee program Nova Scotia. Similar to the sub-category of Saskatchewan, it also has a list if qualified occupations. The program functions on basis of priority for applications that are first filed. Potential applicants are required to have a live profile in Express entry and a job offer is not mandatory. This stream opened up for 300 fresh applications on October 11 and intake was exhausted the same day.
British Columbia
This province was busy throughout August and September offering 2,000 plus Canada Visa ITAs for Provincial Nominee Program British Columbia. Successful candidates through this Canada Provincial Nominee Program include entrepreneurs, students, and workers. It also continued with the tech exclusive draws. This initiative was launched in early 2017 in line with Tech Pilot PNP BC.
Manitoba continued to offer Canada Visa ITAs to skilled workers and business immigrants via the Provincial Nominee Program Manitoba. 443 skilled professional applicants were offered ITA on August 15. On the September 29 draw, another 349 received the ITAS. Most of the invites in these draws were through the category Manitoba Skilled Worker, as quoted by the CIC News.
New Brunswick
In September the enhanced stream of New Brunswick the Labor Market Express Entry Stream began accepting applications for a provisional period. This was for qualified applicants who possessed work experience in an eligible job. The candidates were also required to have attended an information session held by the immigration authorities of the province.
In July Immigrant Nominee Program of Ontario searched for applicants with specific ICT work experience in the Express entry pool. These candidates were given priority for offering Canada Visa ITAs even if their CRS scores were below 400. This stream usually invites applicants with above 400 points. In September Ontario started to accept online applications through its Corporate Stream. Online applications were also accepted via the Overseas Masters and Doctoral streams from October.
By October 2017 Albert has offered Canada Visa ITAs via its provincial nomination to 4, 300 applicants in the Immigrant Nominee Program Alberta. Out of these, 1, 150 were offered in the last 3 months. This shows continued efforts by Alberta to welcome fresh immigrants. It also included PR for current provisional residents. Candidates with the provincial nomination can apply for the Canada PR with the Canadian government.

At pretty much every event I put on through The Happiness Bootcamp project, I get asked one thing. "Why do you talk so openly about your experiences/anxiety?". There is always one simple answer I can give to this. So that it gives others the confidence to talk about theirs.
I've not always been open about my experiences of mental health, for the majority of my childhood/teenage years I was extremely quiet about it. I kept it secret from my family and friends and thought the best way to deal with it was to struggle in silence. I believed nobody else felt the same way as I did, let alone anybody understanding what it felt like to be trapped within my own mind and body. But I was so wrong.
I spent years thinking I was crazy, not normal, I felt a complete failure. I felt like I was separate to everyone, like I didn't even belong.
The day I told my parents about the awful thoughts I was having was heart breaking yet a weight off my shoulders. For me I was lucky they understood and helped me get onto my feet through different forms of therapy.
Now, I share my story openly and with confidence that if I speak out about my struggles and my ongoing mental health issues then maybe it will inspire someone else to do so too. I'm not saying stand up on stage and shout (hey if you want too, please invite me!) but speak to a friend, a family member, a teacher, a counsellor, a doctor, me, just anybody. Speak to online chats with Childline, The Samaritans or even Mind, just SPEAK.
No matter how scared you are, how difficult the situation may be or how you may feel, I promise people want to listen to you. You are able to come through the darkest of tunnels and see a beautiful light on the other side. One little sentence or cry for help is all it takes to allow yourself to heal, to begin a new journey of self love. It will never be a straight an easy ride but I can promise that if you pick yourself up and keep going, the world will become a beautiful place.
You have so much to give, so much to see and so much to do. You are amazing, beautiful and worth every second on this planet. You can get through this, you are never alone.
I believe in you.
It is time to talk.
All my love,
