In the good old days, home buyers and property investors could approach their local bank manager, whom they often knew on a first name basis, to apply for a loan. Now the process is less personal, more stringent and definitely a lot more complicated with a large group of lenders and literally hundreds of lending products to choose from.
Add to this the confusion of continually changing lending criteria from the various lenders and numerous interest rate hikes from the Reserve Bank and many property investors are understandably feeling overwhelmed by the thought of looking for a loan.
As a result, using a mortgage broker has become more popular and now mortgage brokers are involved in approximately 40% of all home loans in Australia.
Mortgage brokers act as "go betweens", advising clients about their borrowing options and then negotiating loan deals on behalf of their clients with different lenders. There are many benefits when using a mortgage broker rather than going it alone, including:
Access to numerous lenders, a variety of loan products and a comprehensive understanding of the different finance packages available. This is something you just won't get by speaking to a bank manager.
Taking the time to understand your personal requirements and your long term goals to determine what type of loan would suit you best.
Acting as an advisor, providing professional expertise and guidance. This is of particular benefit to investors who may not meet the "standard" lending criteria.
Conducting all the necessary legwork on behalf of their clients to obtain the best loan product. This is time consuming but means you can also access lesser known lenders and products that may not be as widely promoted to the general public.
Completing all of the required paperwork on your behalf. When you see the amount of paper work involved this is a huge bonus as it ensures you meet the lender's requirements and have your application processed as swiftly as possible.
Providing advice and assistance throughout the term of the loan and help with future needs such as refinancing.
It should come as no surprise that mortgage broking is not a "one-size-fits-all" service. Every loan applicant's needs are different depending on their own personal circumstances. This is not only the case for property investors who are starting out, but especially so for investors who already own an extensive property portfolio – particularly today when the banks are much more cautious with their lending criteria.
So how do you choose a good mortgage broker? Someone who is going to help you get the banks to say yes!
Before I answer that, it is important to understand that brokers are paid on a commission basis by the lenders whenever they send business their way and this has caused some to ask who the broker is actually working for.
On the one hand their job is to find the best loan product for the borrower, and on the other, the banks or the lending institution is paying them.
That's one of the reasons it is important to "qualify" any mortgage broker before you engage their services, finding out a bit more about them, how much knowledge they have and how they can help you, because like many professions, there is a vast difference between the quality of the service and advice you will receive.
You see…currently the barriers to entry in this industry are still relatively low and while there are some very professional brokers around, many mortgage brokers work from home and only write a few loans each month.
To assist you in your hunt, here are some things you should consider when looking for the best broker for your property lending requirements;
- Make sure they are upfront about the commissions they earn. You need to know whether they have any biases towards certain lenders who might pay them a larger percentage for passing business their way.
- Understand who the broker is working for. Most mortgage brokers work for a company or act as franchisees. It is important that the broker you are dealing with is reputable, experienced and professional.
- Do not be mistaken – a mortgage broker cannot act as your financial advisor. They are not qualified to provide financial advice.
- Brokers generally have access to their own "panel" of lenders, they usually do not have access to every lender or loan product available to the market. Make sure your broker uses a wide variety of lenders rather than just a handful.
Finally, here are the ten questions you could ask to "qualify" your mortgage broker before engaging their services;
1. Do you have industry accreditation? Your broker should belong to an industry body that regulates their practices, such as the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia (MFAA). As a member of such organisations, they must abide by certain rules of conduct and you are covered by dispute resolution processes and ombudsman services if required.
2. What qualifications do you have as a mortgage broker? Ensure your broker has an industry qualification and/or some formal education and training. Find out how long they have been in the finance industry and the extent of their knowledge and experience. This is particularly relevant for property investors as structuring this type of loan can be much more complicated than a simple home loan.
3. How do you decide which loan is right for me? Your broker must be willing to listen to your requirements and understand any personal and financial circumstances that could impact your loan application or influence the type of product you should obtain. In general they should not chose a loan for you on interest rates alone, but based on a range of criteria.
4. How are you paid? You should ask your broker how their remuneration works and what type of commission they are paid.
5. Do I have to pay you? Some mortgage brokers request a fee from you up front, and while there is nothing wrong with this, make sure you understand what you get for this fee.
6. Who is on your panel of lenders and why? Find out how many lenders your broker has access to and why they deal with them specifically.
7. Do you lend money? Some brokers have access to loan products through their own company, which is not necessarily an issue as long as they do not recommend their own products without disclosing this to you or if they do not represent the best possible deal for your situation.
8. Are you covered by professional indemnity insurance? Ensure your broker's insurance is up to date.
9. What will you do with my personal details? You are providing your broker with highly sensitive information about your personal, professional and financial situation, so make sure they will handle your information in compliance with the Privacy Act.
10. Can you provide me with references from past clients? It is always a good idea to get feedback from clients that your broker has recently assisted. This is the best way to gauge their standard of service and success at matching the best loan with the applicant.

"We hear that not only is change accelerating but that the pace of change is accelerating as well. While this is true of computational carrying–capacity at a planetary level, at the same time ––and in fact the two are connected–– we are also in a moment of cultural de–acceleration. We invest our energy in futuristic information technologies, including our cars, but drive them home to kitsch architecture copied from the 18th century. The future on offer is one in which everything changes, so long as everything stays the same. We'll have Google Glass, but still also business casual. This timidity is our path to the future? No, this is incredibly conservative, and there is no reason to think that more Gigaflops will inoculate us. Because, if a problem is in fact endemic to a system, then the exponential effects of Moore's Law also serve to amplify what's broken. It is more computation along the wrong curve, and I don't think this is necessarily a triumph of reason. Part of my work explores deep technocultural shifts, from post–humanism to the post–anthropocene, but TED's version has too much faith in technology, and not nearly enough commitment to technology. It is placebo technoradicalism, toying with risk so as to re–affirm the comfortable. So our machines get smarter and we get stupider. But it doesn't have to be like that. Both can be much more intelligent. Another futurism is possible."
(Benjamin Bratton, 20 December 2013)
"International Journal of Design Creativity and Innovation is an international publication that provides a forum for discussing the nature and potential of creativity and innovation in design from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Design creativity and innovation is truly an interdisciplinary academic research field that will interest and stimulate researchers of engineering design, industrial design, architecture, art, and similar areas. The journal aims to not only promote existing research disciplines but also pioneer a new one that lies in the intermediate area between the domains of systems engineering, information technology, computer science, social science, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, psychology, philosophy, linguistics, and related fields. The journal welcomes various kinds of research papers (analytical studies, constructive studies, case studies, field studies, literature surveys, etc.) that will establish the basis for the academic discipline of design creativity and innovation."
"Après 30 ans d'existence, le Minitel s'apprête à tirer sa révérence. Les plus jeunes ne verront même pas de quoi il est question, mais ceux qui étaient au collège ou au lycée dans les années 90 s'en rappelleront peut–être pour avoir recherché dessus leurs résultats aux examens du brevet ou du bac. Le Minitel, ou l'ancêtre d'internet ! Invention 100 % française, le 1er réseau dans l'histoire des télécommunications à permettre la 'connexion de terminaux permettant la visualisation de données informatiques' disparaîtra le 30 Juin 2012, et avec lui la machine à l'origine du fameux '36–15″. Définitivement la fin d'une époque.

The Minitel, or the ancestor of the Internet ! 100% French invention, the first network in the history of telecommunications to allow 'terminal connection to visualization of computer data' will draw his bow on June 30, 2012, and with it the machine behind the famous '36 – 15 '.

"Information technology has become a ubiquitous presence. By visualizing the processes that underlie our interactions with this technology we can trace what happens to the information we feed into the network."
(Michael Rigley)
Fig.1 "Network" by Michael Rigley.
"One of the first designs of the information theory is the model of communication by Shannon and Weaver. Claude Shannon, an engineer at Bell Telephone Laboratories, worked with Warren Weaver on the classic book 'The mathematical theory of communication'. In this work Shannon and Weaver sought to identify the quickest and most efficient way to get a message from one point to another. Their goal was to discover how communication messages could be converted into electronic signals most efficiently, and how those signals could be transmitted with a minimum of error. In studying this, Shannon and Weaver developed a mechanical and mathematical model of communication, known as the 'Shannon and Weaver model of communication'. ...
Shannon and Weaver broadly defined communication as 'all of the procedures by which one mind may affect another'. Their communication model consisted of an information source: the source's message, a transmitter, a signal, and a receiver: the receiver's message, and a destination. Eventually, the standard communication model featured the source or encoder, who encodes a message by translating an idea into a code in terms of bits. A code is a language or other set of symbols or signs that can be used to transmit a thought through one or more channels to elicit a response in a receiver or decoder. Shannon and Weaver also included the factor noise into the model. The study conducted by Shannon and Weaver was motivated by the desire to increase the efficiency and accuracy or fidelity of transmission and reception. Efficiency refers to the bits of information per second that can be sent and received. Accuracy is the extent to which signals of information can be understood. In this sense, accuracy refers more to clear reception than to the meaning of message. This engineering model asks quite different questions than do other approaches to human communication research."

This is a great example of a salad with the protein you need added:
Just use any lettuce or mixed leaves as a base.
Top that with some protein : a small can of tuna, a few chopped walnuts and some soft cheese – anything will do but marinated goat cheese, chevre (a soft goat cheese), labne (a curd made from yoghurt), ricotta or cottage cheese would work.
Add tomato and if you have them, some edible flowers for extra antioxidants.

Common Uses of Hydroxyapatite and How it Can Affect Your Teeth
Hydroxyapatite is quite a mouthful. It definitely looks like a word right out of a chemistry of geology textbook, and there's a good reason for that. But, there's absolutely no reason to let hydroxyapatite's scientific pedigree intimidate you. It's a tremendously valuable mineral for daily life has several common uses.
Seriously, Though, What Is It?
Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring form of the mineral calcium apatite—calcium, phosphorous, and oxygen—that grows in hexagonal crystals. Pure hydroxyapatite is white in color. It makes up most of human bone structure, builds tooth enamel, and collects in tiny amounts in part of the brain.
So, What Does it Get Used For?
With recent developments in materials science and in nano-materials, there has been a fair amount of research and development dedicated to growing and finding the best uses for hydroxyapatite. Non-medical uses that have shown promise include air filtration to remove carbon dioxide and a filter to remove fluoride from saturated soil. But, where hydroxyapatite really shines is in medical applications.
Joint replacement implants can be coated with nanohydroxyapatite. The body is less likely to reject those implants, and the mineral coating encourages new bone growth around the implant, anchoring it more effectively. Calcium supplements of hydroxyapatite have shown early promise for maintaining bone health better than calcium carbonate supplements, although more research in this area is needed.
What About Hydroxyapatite in the Mouth?
Tooth enamel is almost all hydroxyapatite. Oral care products that incorporate this mineral have greatly improved dental practice for patients. It can be added to dental filling agents used to repair serious cavities. It also has been shown to reduce or eliminate tooth sensitivity after whitening. It also can improve outcomes with dental implants much like it can with bone implants in the rest of the body. It has become an important tool in the periodontal and oral surgery specialties.
You don't need to be a candidate for oral surgery to benefit from nanohydroxyapatite. Products that contain it have benefits for teeth that are lacking minerals from the enamel and are showing pre-cavity lesions. Regular use of hydroxyapatite products can help healthy teeth stay healthy and avoid becoming demineralized in the first place. CariFree products are formulated with bioavailable nanohydroxyapatite to provide the greatest cavity fighting and cavity preventing benefits to patients.
The Takeaway
Don't let the long, complicated name fool you. Hydroxyapatite is a straight-forward calcium mineral form that your body can use to repair itself. Its use in dentistry has led to better preventative care and more successful treatment of dental disease.

Once you stop learning, you start dying.
September 1-7th is Self-University Week! Sponsored by 1989 by Autodidactic Press, Self-University week promotes and encourages life-long learning.
Challenge yourself this week to learn something new! It doesn't have to be a big effort like going back to school for a degree; there's plenty of little things you can do. Here are some of my favorites:
- Take an online course. Check out sites like Udemy or edX for classes on everything from Chair Yoga to complete programs in Bioinformatics.
- Listen to audio books or language lessons while you commute. Instead of listening to TayTay's new album on your commute, 'read' a new book.
- Join a book club. Either in real life (real people!!) or an online group.
- Visit a museum or gallery. Did you know Tucson has a museum of Kinetic Art?
- Read the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution. Along with that, take a refresher in Government and Civics.
- Sign up for music or dance lessons. Try out the salsa or two-step. Pick that old high school band instrument back up for a few lessons.
- Word of the Day. Look up the word of the day and make a goal to use it in conversation.
- Meet someone new. If you work in a large company, try to visit someone you don't know well. If you're flying solo, befriend someone on social media.
- Watch the opposite type of TV or movie. If you live on TLC & HGTV, watch a news channel or comedy. If you live on romcom's, watch a documentary or action thriller.
- Go see a play or dance. Pick something you wouldn't normally go to. UA Presents has a wide variety of shows.
Let me know what you decided to pursue in the comments! I'd love to hear back from you what you thought or what you learned!

Can't stop looking at Facebook updates to learn the latest from friends, family, celebrities and businesses? Can you hammer out 140-character messages in your sleep? Enjoy daydreaming about your hobbies while perusing pictures on Pinterest? Is keeping up with what's happening with friends via Google+ your new favorite pastime?
If you answered yes to any of these, you might just be getting a little too social online.
Social media is fantastic for helping keep people up with what's happening around town, the nation and even the world. Sites like Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter allow family and friends to connect across the miles and they can make people immediately aware of breaking news that might matter to them. They also provide entertainment, camaraderie and help connect people with similar interests, among other perks.
For all the good that can be found on social media, however, there are some potential downsides to being so plugged in a smartphone never stops buzzing with popup notifications. Here are some indications that you might be spending too much time socializing online:
- Your day revolves around finding opportunities to check out social media sites: If you find yourself constantly checking into social media sites to see what's happening whether you're at home, on the road, at work, out with friends, you could be overdoing.
- Social media surfing gets in the way of things you should be doing: Unless your job involves social media management, you probably don't need to stay logged into Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or other similar sites 24/7. If your online activities are getting in the way of work, relationships and other obligations, it's probably time to scale it back a bit.
- You use social media as a sole form of connection: If social media interactions are your primary mode for communicating with others, you could be socializing too much online and not enough with people in the real world. While there are times this is a huge bonus – if you're sick, for example – social media ties shouldn't prevent you from getting out and living.
While there's no set limit on how much time a person should spend on social media, there are some potential problems that can arise for those who allow their lives to revolve around updates, instant messages and Tweets. They include:
- Anxiety and depression: Overuse of social media to the point of addiction has become a real problem for some. According to ABC News, experts say overuse of social media can lead to anxiety and depression in some. This is especially so for those who use these tools to see how they and their lives measure up against others.
- "iDisorder" issues: According to California State University Professor Dominquez Hills, overuse of social media and the technology that drives it can lead to what he has coined "iDisorder." This involves such symptoms as obsessive-compulsive disorder, narcissism, hypochondria and so on.
- Problems with interpersonal communication: When people spend most of their time online, communicating via text messages, instant messages and social media updates, they may lose sight of interpersonal skills that help sustain relationships in the world by the Internet. Checking social media during professional meetings, dinner engagements, family outings and so on can all be signs that too much time is being invested online.
Tips For Curtailing Social Media Overload
Social media can be a valuable tool for helping people connect, unwind and stay informed. There are ways to balance use, however. Here are some tips to help limit time spent socializing online into a more manageable range:
- Set specific times to check social media accounts and stick to them.
- Limit popup notifications on smartphones and other portable devices. Finding out what your second cousin twice removed had for dinner, for example, doesn't need to be an instant popup that you need to read about right now. A message from your local news station about impending hazardous weather, however, should be able to reach you just about any time and anywhere.
- Limit social media use during working hours to breaks only unless being on social media sites is a part of your job.
- Ban texting, social media use and other online activities during personal engagements with friends and family.
Social media shouldn't replace other forms of being social. While it can add to relationships, if it's taking away from them, it's probably time to get use in check.

The Short Reads project, week 1
The project I gave myself for 2018, at the turn of the year, was to read a short story a day for every day of the year. This was amended on the sixth day of the year to include short nonfiction, essays and whatnot. The intent of this was to spend less time scrolling through Twitter and Facebook on my lunch breaks. I've been working mostly nights, lately, and my lunch break is generally spent in the office, since the rule seems to be the further I get from the store's front end, the more likely it will be that I'm called back to the front. So, instead of scrolling endlessly through Facespace, I'll just find something to read.
So far, I'm pretty thankful for the Kindle app, as well as Americanliterature.com which has a lot of public domain stuff.....
The loose rules:
- No reading the same author two times in a row, or three times in the same rolling week.
- No reading from the same anthology two times in a row, or three times in the same rolling week
- Short stories may come from any source, published, unpublished, online or not.
- Nonfiction must come from a published source. (A dubious rule, but in my head, it means vetted by another person, and not something simply that pops up on a blog somewhere....)
Here's what I read in the first week:
January 1 "Night Surf" Stephen King
January 2 "A Rose for Emily" William Faulkner
January 3 "Ching Witch!" Ross Rocklynne
January 4 "I am the Doorway" Stephen King
January 5 "Bivouac of the Dead" Ambrose Bierce
January 6 "Twins and Twinning in Stephen King's Dark Tower Novels" Robin Furth
January 7 "A Lost Masterpiece" A.A. Milne

Our Reasons For (finally) Giving Our Toddler Her Own Room
I don't know at what age (for your child) that you stop being a "new parent" or "first-time parent" but I know for us as new, first time parents, it took us a while before we decided to give our daughter her own room.
From the day she was born, she's been sleeping by our side — in NYC we lived in a studio apartment so her mini crib was right beside our bed. As we "sleep trained" her, while we did move the bed further away, it's still a studio...in NYC.
When we moved to WA, our first apartment was a one bedroom plus den — so kind of like having a second bedroom but not really. With where it was located in the apartment — right by the front door, on the opposite end of the main bedroom — and with where I was in business, launching a new subscription box & branching off from third-party design companies, using that room as a home office was an easy decision. Our daughter was about 16 months old at the time.
Six months later when we moved into our current apartment — a 2 bedroom condo — the master bedroom was nearly double the size of our previous bedroom, not to mention practically the same square footage as the living area of our NYC studio. This made deciding to have our daughter in our room & using the 2nd bedroom, again, as a home office a no-brainer.
She was able to have her toddler bed comfortably in our room, while still having a play area in my office for when I was working from home while my husband was at work. This was 15 months ago.
My daughter is now 3 years old & my business has taken on a new & exciting life so when my husband randomly suggested during family breakfast fo give her the 2nd bedroom, I simply replied, "okay, let's do it." He was actually surprised at how quickly I agreed — apparently he prepared a whole pitch!
So why did I agree to sacrifice my home office & sanctuary?
Simple. My daughter has always had a very independent spirit but now that she's a full-blown threenager, it was time to give her her own space to continue to thrive (and throw tantrums) and truly be independent.
I also knew since we'd be, God willing, putting her in school in the fall, that we needed to establish a bit more of a study three routine in her days & nights.
So what about my business?
While I still A LOT of things brewing in my business, I've never had more clarity!
While I have currently put my subscription box on hold to pivot the clientele, I took on a whole new business to business venture, in addition to design work. While having a dedicated space for me to work was great, my daughter's development is priceless — I can work anywhere!
Not having a subscription service up & running right now means I don't need a place to store inventory or shipping supplies. Refining my services means being able to manage my time in a way that doesn't require any solitude. Having a business to business endeavor means I can get creative with how I serve my new audience, even if that means my living room is my backdrop.
So what's next?
Next, we move me out and transition her in.
This means assimilating my office furniture into different parts of the house, getting all her stuff — furniture, toys, clothes, everything — in her new room, reclaiming (or claiming for the first time) a grown-up bedroom... and lastly making it all pretty!
Most of all though, this means giving my daughter the space she needs to be the best (or worst) threenager she can be! Second to this, it definitely means my husband and I hopefully don't have to wake up to a toddler's knee in one of our backs.

Make your wedding unforgettable with dance lessons
Dance perfectly embodies the joy and happiness in the celebration of marriage, and is a tradition that has been a staple of weddings. But it can also be utilized to turn your wedding into an event that is unforgettable. If you've been searching for ways to make your wedding unique and memorable, we've got the answer. Consider dance lessons for your wedding and turn the traditional dances into a performance! Choreographed dances will put that unexpected spin on your event that you and your guests won't soon forget! Here are 3 ideas of how you can do this at your reception:
- Make an entrance~ Rather than just an announcement of your arrival at the reception, echo the first time hearing your married name in style. A choreographed entrance will announce Mr. and Mrs. with flair. Think of an upbeat swing dance to set the tone of the night!
- Bring the party to your wedding party~ You've chosen your wedding party thoughtfully, and they are all meaningful people in your life. Why not include them in a choreographed number to surprise your guests? Not only will the dance look amazing with all of your party, but also the fun you can have learning it really involves those special people. You could go elegant and dramatic with sweeping waltz. Or even amp it up with a fun and fast quickstep!
- Show your love~ During your first dance as husband and wife, take the opportunity to truly show your connection with your new spouse. Use the passion of Latin inspired dances such as the sensual tango or a fiery salsa to show the passion you share. This first dance will most definitely be the lasting thing in your memory!
Don't be afraid to create a stand-out wedding reception through ballroom dance. With the many skill levels ballroom dance caters to, you don't have to be experienced to look amazing! Quick Quick Slow Ballroom Dance Studio offers personalized classes, and will be excited to choreograph your dance! Contact us to schedule your lessons, and you are one step closer to your unforgettable wedding!

Anibal Catalan "The Peak"
This event has ended.
In the world that Anibal Catalan produces in his artworks, space expands and contracts as if it were breathing; cities appear to be repeatedly created and destroyed, his use of colors accentuating the structures that form his world. In this exhibition - the artist's first solo show in Japan - Catalan attempts to express the relationship between natural forms of elevation and greatness and architecture as a growing and expanded field. The installation will incorporate a selection of paintings, works on paper and video.
from September 15, 2017 to October 14, 2017
Closed on Mondays and Sundays.
Opening Reception on 2017-09-15 from 18:30 to 21:30

A Story Of Love
When I am old, and my hair is gray,
When my babies are grown with jobs and mortgages and wives and babies of their own,
When they live all over the world (as they will, if family history is anything to go by),
When they pack up a few bags, grab their car keys, and head off to college,
When they rush out the door to meet up with friends, and roll their eyes when I ask for a hug,
These are the photos I'll want.
I'll want to see them glowing with happiness, just to be near me. I'll want to see how comfortable we were together. How they fit so perfectly in my arms. I'll want to see how joyful we were together. (I won't even care about my wobbly chin.)
I'll want to hold these photos - this proof of our love for each other - and remember the way things were.
Of course…
These are the photos they want now.
They want to see me giving them my complete and undivided attention. Lavishing them with hugs and kisses and cuddles. They want to see us playing together, doing exactly what they chose for us to do.
They want this proof of my love for them on the hanging on wall, as they walk down the hall to their bedrooms.
These photos - the ones I asked my husband to take of my boys and me at home, on a regular Saturday morning – are the ones that tell a sliver of our family's story: A story of love and gratitude for this season of life.
It's a story they want today, and it's one I'm going to want when I'm old, and my hair is gray.

Daily Bread
Pastor's Newsletter Article for March, 2012
In 1529, Dr. Martin Luther published a small teaching pamphlet, intended to help parents (fathers, really, in those days) teach the Christian faith to their children. He called it the "Small Catechism" (Catechism is a Greek word meaning "teaching"). It was primarily intended for use in the home, but has become the standard in the Lutheran Church for Catechism programs as well.
In the Small Catechism, Luther treats the core elements of our faith: baptism, communion, the 10 Commandments, the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer… In each section of the Catechism, he offers his explanations as to what it means for Christian life.
For instance, regarding the fourth petition of the Lord's Prayer, he writes:
"What is this?" In, fact, God gives daily bread without our prayer, even to all evil people, but we ask in this prayer that God cause us to recognize what our daily bread is and to receive it with thanksgiving.
"What then does 'daily bread' mean?" Everything included in the necessities and nourishment for our bodies, such as food, drink, clothing, shoes, house, farm, fields, livestock, money, property, an upright spouse, upright children, upright members of the household, upright and faithful rulers, good government, good weather, peace, health, decency, honor, good friends, faithful neighbors, and the like.
As Luther well understood, God provides us with all we need for daily life. Nourishment, shelter, family, friends… all that surrounds us and sustains us comes as a gift from God. It is given to us in order that we might care for ourselves and our families, and in order that we might share from our abundance with the needs of the world that surround us.
We'll be focusing on Daily Bread during the season of Lent this year. On Wednesday evenings, a video series from the Rocky Mountain Synod will shape our conversations, as we meet the leaders of five unique ministries in our synod — ministries through which God provides daily bread for people in need. Join us as we visit with the people of First Lutheran in Gypsum and Our Savior Lutheran in Alamogordo, Urban Servant Corps in Denver, Cristo Rey in El Paso, House for All Sinners and Saints in Denver, and our synod's two outdoor ministries: Rainbow Trail and Sky Ranch Lutheran Camps. We'll see how God is working through them to be a source of daily bread for those who are touched by their ministries. And we'll explore how God might work through Saint Peter to provide daily bread for those who are involved with us.
This is the life of thanksgiving to which we are called as Christians. It has to do with knowing how richly blessed we are. It has to do with trusting that day-by-day, God will provide what we need to be well. It has to do with realizing that we have far more than we need, and are able to use our blessing to be a blessing to others in need.
Give us this day our daily bread, dear God. And help us to share with those who are in need.
God's peace to you all, David J. Risendal, Pastor

Southern California native and "lone soldier" Max Steinberg lost his life fighting for Israel against Hamas during Operation Protective Edge last summer. In honor of his bravery, the Birthright organization, which provides tours of Israel for young Jewish Americans, has dedicated a memorial site to Steinberg in northern Israel.
A ceremony was held on Thursday at the site of the memorial, located near an ancient synagogue in the Arbel nature reserve in the Lower Galilee, according to the Times of Israel. Max's family, fellow soldiers he had served with, friends from his Birthright-Israel trip, and Birthright representatives were reportedly among those present.
Max had joined the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) after visiting Israel for the first time through the Birthright program.
His father, Stuart, said "We know that Max would be so pleased to know that he would be remembered for his sacrifice in this very special place, and this very special way," according to the Times of Israel. "But more importantly Max would be so happy to know that his legacy will include helping lone soldiers. Lone soldiers will learn the history and experience the beauty of Israel as participants on the Taglit-Birthright Israel programs."
Steinberg, 24, was killed while riding in an armored vehicle in Gaza when it was attacked by Hamas explosives. He was with six other members of the elite Golani Brigade unit in which he was serving. Over 30,000 Israelis turned out for Steinberg's funeral, which took place at Israel's military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem.

On August 1, 2013, the Lancet's John Maurice published an article on progress towards the MDGs, and the transition to SDGs entitled "New goals in sight to reduce poverty and hunger." Jeffrey Sachs was interviewed for the piece:
"Jeffrey Sachs . . . credits the "holistic" nature of the MDGs with helping people to rise above the poverty line. "Poverty for the MDGs", he tells The Lancet, "is not only income poverty but also access to health-care services, safe water, schooling for children, and many other basic needs. All those dimensions are instrumental in supporting a country to achieve economic growth and to bring increasing numbers of its people out of poverty. In China, strong gains in health services and disease control during the 1950s to the 1970s contributed to a surge of growth after market reforms began in 1978." "
The UN's David Nabarro was also interviewed, saying "It's not enough to talk about percentages of the population below the poverty line. . . . Governments need to know who is below the line and to what extent those below the line can acquire the means to rise above it. As for ending hunger, I hope the post-2015 goals will take into account how hunger is linked to agriculture, food systems, the position of women in society, access to water and sanitation, and other basic necessities. I hope, too, that the new goals will contribute to all people realising their right to food and to nutritional justice. For, the elimination of hunger should, in my view, be seen as an overarching symbol of world leaders' determination to ensure societal wellbeing and equity."

On Tuesday Nov 16th I flew, in a plane, from NZ to LAX on American Average Airlines, although they usually shorten their abbreviation down to AA for marketing purposes.
The cabin crew were lovely, but so are my grandparents, and that doesn't make them good air hostesses. It seemed the crew came fresh out of retirement for a paid return trip down to NZ, I think the pitch wen't something like this: "If you can serve cocktails and microwaved food, un-wedge the "big boned" people from the toilet doors and use some common sense or don't the jobs yours".
The service was as organised as a 5 year old football game with no referee, and the games played on ice and the kids are blindfolded and given giant ice creams, and it's not an actually soccer game it's a fine dinning restaurant. Credit to the AA though, many people have given up their alcohol addictions thanks to their work, and credit to American Airlines, the food got served if not eaten, no fat people stuck and the plane landed with the wheels down.
I then got an UBER to Laguna Beach in a pimp mobile, quite literally, The Egyptian driver told me he takes guys down to Mexico for "Boys trips" at a strip club he's partnered with. I told him Laguna beach was fine for me and the only lube I was using this week was bike lube, however I didn't verbalise the last bit.
I arrived at a friends house in Laguna Beach and was greeted with warm weather, a warm welcome and a story about my friend Sammy driving an elderly British couple to the hospital who thought they were going to die after smoking too much pot.
I wake up the next morning and it was like waking up in a Tom Ford film where I was perched on picturesque cliff over looking the beach with the waves and sunrise selfies crashing below. The waves are unlike back home, they are a shore break and break literally on the shore funnily enough. And even more funnily enough they catch suspecting ankle dippers out and turn them in to face first exfoliating sand dippers, washing them up beach like a wet cat in tumble drier.
I end up making myself at home for a few days, joining up at the local yoga studio, trying every kombucha brand under the Laguna Sun, trying not to die on my daily swim and reading up on the latest Trump news. I also make a video interviewing local asking if i'm really in the real OC which went down a treat on the instagram. I also got a hair cut ad the long locks were getting too high in maintenance and I met a local yoga instructor Tim Senasi who has a great last name, even though it't not pronounced like that of a martial arts master, he is a master of sorts and senses including humour. He was also generous enough to take me surfing at Trestles which was a real bonus. The wave their were the best i've fell off on. I was the only rookie in the water and the only man brave enough not to wear a wetsuit. I got a few waves and then Tim hooked me up with a few fejoas he found in his backyard and we recorded a podcast which was very insightful and of high quality unlike my recording set up which managed to ruin the audio. Still you can listen in here and do yoga with Tim online here.
After a few days I was having so much fun I almost forget what I left NZ for, to ride a bike down from Vancouver to Mexico/look cool and adventurous. So after overstaying a few days I pick up my bike from a guy named Ron who was a "Don"! Got it boxed up and then UBER-ed up to LA.
LA is bananas big! I stay with my friend Sammy who's name isn't short for Sandwich in case you're wondering. I go to the world's happiest yoga class with Steve Ross, which was a laugh and sweat to Nelly and Tupac. And I go to Venice Beach where I met some NZ friends at a trendy health cafe called Kreation on Abbot Kinney where they put chlorophyll in your water to help you stay hydrated which was trendier than garlic oregano favoured salts.

Playing in a group is completely different than playing by yourself- it's harder to hear yourself, the tempo is dictated by the drummer, and so many other issues. Here's some simple ways to get better at playing in a group (and hopefully get you that call back).
1. Simplify
This is a mantra that applies to every aspect of playing in a group- the simpler, the better. Simplify your playing, your gear setup, your notes. Allow yourself the maximum time to be present and aware of what's going on around you. Most groups don't need a virtuoso- they need a musician that knows how to tastefully fit into the group.
2. Be others centered
Everybody loves an others centered person, both on and off stage. Make a point to memorize the names of those around you in the group (I write them down), and listen carefully to the other members of the group during performance.
I'm constantly amazed at how musicians will be so zoned into their own instrument, that they'll completely run over the other musicians in the band. (As a side note, if your a keyboardist, pay special attention to the guitarist. You occupy the same sonic space as him, making it easier to run over his playing. )
3. Do the little things
As a band leader, I'd rather hire a good musician that's easy to work with, shows up on time every time, offers to help load in gear, and is conscientious about his appearance and gear, than a great musician that doesn't do any of those things. Talent is important, but being easy to work with is essential.

We think it's a hidden gem of the wine world.
Scheurebe is a German grape developed in 1916 by Dr. Georg Scheu, after whom it is named. It is also known as Sämling 88 (or Seedling 88) which was the original serial number for the vine plant. It is pronounced Shoy-ray-ber.

Cooperative Tapestry: Fostering Democracy and Equity in Our Communities
The CCMA 2019 theme, Cooperative Tapestry: Fostering Democracy and Equity in Our Communities, recognizes the influence of the textile industry on North Carolina's economy and on the modern co-operative movement. How do we weave our co-operative values and unique co-op identities into community-led solutions that help us be more relevant and successful?
Over the past 200 years, textiles have played a fundamental role in North Carolina's economy, although sometimes with a fraught history concerning worker's rights. They were also instrumental in the founding of the modern co-operative movement. The Rochdale Pioneers, a group of weavers, codified the principles of a successful cooperative, which are the basis of the Seven Co-operative Principles. In the American South, the Freedom Quilting Bee, a handicraft cooperative born out of the Civil Rights Movement, demonstrated how collective action can address economic obstacles.
After nearly going extinct, North Carolina's textile industry is experiencing a resurgence today thanks to innovative practices, a commitment to customer service, and democratic ownership models. Over the last decade, we have also seen renewed interest in leveraging the co-operative model to deliver quality food at fair prices, and a new openness to having critical conversations about equity and inclusion, recognizing that we will be more successful and relevant as a movement when we are more inclusive.
As we embark on another time of growth and discovery as a co-operative community, what can we learn from the textile industry's past and future? How can we use the threads of the co-operative tapestry to remain competitive and to foster democracy and equity in our communities? To do so effectively and with integrity, we must understand the competitive challenges that lie ahead, the power of our co-operative model, and use our co-operative identity to differentiate ourselves in the marketplace. We must also take a deep and honest look at our culture and our past so we can learn from our historical errors and move forward as a stronger, more resilient, and more inclusive movement.
The conference is organized by the University of Wisconsin Center for Cooperatives with assistance from a planning committee comprised of co-op managers and board members, representatives from cooperative associations, development organizations, financial partners and other various allies.

There are many things to learn in Chemistry class before you participate in your first lab. The period table has to be memorized; safety procedure shave to be learned, and you need to become familiar with the lab equipment.
If you can find a homework helper in this class, you will have a nice support system. There are two distinctly different types of helpers. The first is a series of sheets that provides formulas and short cuts. The second is any person who can help you with the job. Finding both kinds will save you in this class.
The first types can be found at bookstores and online. The bookstores ones are in a convenient size and are laminating, so they are more durable. You can take them in the lab and actually use them. If your school does not have a bookstore, access a college bookstore online and order what you need. There will be several styles and prices for you to choose from when you purchase. They are not expensive at all.
The second type of helpers involves actual people. Anyone who can aid you in your work is an asset. These people could be your teacher, your tutor, members of your study group, a lab assistant, friends, or anyone online who can provide assistance. The thing with having a person as a support system is that you have to make sure that they are qualified. If you use your five-year-old sister or a random person you met online to help you with work from an advanced level of this class, you may not get the results that you want.
The draw back with using a person as your support system is that you cannot bring a person to class or lab, but you can bring your laminated cheat sheet to class for quick references. Ultimately, you decide who or what you implement to use for assistance. But if you make a bad choice, you may have to begin over or you may get bad result sin your class. If you are smart from the beginning, you will have better results. And better results will also equal a better understanding and better grades.
Use our tips on where to go if you need to find homework helpers in chemistry class. You will do better and be happy with the results.

U-matic transfer to DVD, Uncompressed Quicktime and Digi Beta
We've been honored recently to have won a large contract to help in the digital migration of an extensive educational video archive by the transfer from U-matic archive copies to uncompressed video files.
While the archive had been stored in an suitable environment and rarely if at all played, they had not survived well. The Sony branded tapes from the 1970's and 1980's all exhibited binder hydrolysis or sticky shed syndrome. We were still able to get good transfers though using our range of umatic machines, particularly the Sony BVU-950P and For-A Time Base Corrector.

This week, the State Department published its 2017 Trafficking in Persons Report, which ranks governments on their efforts to combat human trafficking. Yemen is classified as a Special Case in the report because of the increased difficulties in obtaining information about human trafficking due to the ongoing war. The conflict in Yemen has intensified the magnitude of violence and lawlessness in the country while hindering the government's ability to address and prevent human trafficking. The violence and accompanying economic and humanitarian crises have left significant numbers of people vulnerable to human trafficking, whether it takes the form of forced labor, sexual exploitation, or underage military recruitment:
The civil conflict and humanitarian crisis in Yemen deepened during the reporting period, and information on human trafficking in the country has become increasingly difficult to obtain since March 2015 when the Republic of Yemen Government (ROYG) had to leave and relinquished control of substantial portions of territory. NGOs reported vulnerable populations in Yemen are at an increased risk of being subjected to trafficking due to large-scale violence driven by protracted armed conflict, civil unrest, and lawlessness.
Yemen is an origin, transit, and destination country for victims of human trafficking. Although it is difficult to accurately measure the extent of trafficking amidst the conflict, vulnerable groups faced abuse before the onset of the war. Yemeni children have been victims of both forced labor and sex trafficking; girls have been used for commercial sex and exploitative "temporary marriages," and boys have been forced into jobs such as domestic services or begging. UN reports expand on the State Department's description of child exploitation by detailing the rise in child marriages, particularly with girls, as a way for families facing dire economic circumstances and famine to lessen the financial burden. Unofficial reports have documented cases of chattel slavery, where humans are treated and inherited as property. Furthermore, Yemen functions as a destination and a transit point to the Gulf for migrants and refugees from the Horn of Africa, particularly women and children, some of whom are trafficked. The increased violence and reduced governance as a result of the war is likely to have magnified trafficking patterns and the vulnerability of these groups.
The government of Yemen faces difficulties in addressing human trafficking on multiple fronts. Government corruption and weak institutions pose a great challenge to anti-trafficking efforts. Additionally, the legal system doesn't adequately confront the extent of trafficking: there is little enforcement of the anti-trafficking laws that exist, and these laws don't sufficiently cover the variety of forms of human trafficking. The conflict exacerbates these problems, diminishing the ability of the government to identify and provide services to trafficking victims, investigate trafficking issues, and implement anti-trafficking strategies.
The outbreak of the conflict has increased the use of child soldiers. Human rights organizations have documented the use of child soldiers by all parties to the conflict. Although the government agreed to end this practice, it hasn't released children from its own military forces or implemented the UN action plan to end the recruitment of child soldiers. Furthermore, the government has detained children who were accused of being associated with the Houthis. The combined inability and unwillingness of the government to address the issue of child soldiers and the continuing economic crisis obstructs the possibility of meaningful action against this situation. Additionally, the government's impotence as a result of the war has allowed for a black market for human trafficking and smuggling to proliferate, deepening the scope of Yemen's humanitarian crisis.
Governance in Yemen has deteriorated under the ongoing conflict; violence and insecurity targets vulnerable people with impunity. Economic devastation takes advantage of children, forcing them into armed struggles, labor, or sex trafficking. Migrants and women are exposed to the patterns and consequences of trafficking, unsupported by laws or government services. As the war persists, human trafficking doubtlessly will carry on unabated.

Champion x Urban Outfitters Gives Active Wear an Edgy, High Fashion Makeover — With a Global Influence
Classic, American sportswear is about to get a high fashion reboot. Champion USA is collaborating with Urban Outfitters, so get ready to trade in your plain white tees and zip up fleece for a slightly edgier take on active wear.
Champion, designing staple activewear since 1919, partnered with Capsule designers for a line called 'Champion Select', which will be sold at Urban Outfitters starting January 26th. Modeled by Luka Sabbat and Imaan Hamman, the collection features items for both men and women, designed by three emerging designers from all around the world — Timo Weiland (New York City), Wood Wood (Copenhagen), and Craig Green (London). So American sportswear is not only getting a style makeover — it's also getting a global reboot. The designers combined Champion's heritage with their own unique aesthetic to create pieces that are nostalgic for the brand's history, while at the same time bringing Champion into the stratum of fashion today.
The collection certainly has an attitude to it, with most of it being all black (a few pieces are grey), and merging the old with the new — vintage varsity jackets with wide leg sweats, a tank dress with a thigh high slit, futuristic fabric and shapes. It's athletic wear reimagined, updated, ready to blend with today's most current styles — health goth apparently at the top of that list.

BTW I couldn't figure out how to find/add certain songs on playlist.com, but I wanted to share some Finnegan tunes with you. They are my favorite Houston band...I mean they're like the ABSOLUTE ULTIMATE (Gidget fans?). If you live in Houston, you should definitely check them out and if you don't, they have an album coming out in the next month or so. They just played this weekend at The Main Street Block Party and now everyone in town seems to be talking about them.
three beautiful girls, three beautiful boys, mix in the talent...how could you go wrong?

Weekend Recap: Auburn Baseball Classic
Three solid opponents for Auburn this weekend and three mixed results. Auburn won a thriller 6-5 in 10 Innings over Boston College, fell 11-7 to Mizzou, and then blasted Florida Atlantic 17-4. I've linked the official recaps above, but here are a few things I saw:
- More proof that a slimmed down Hunter Morris is a better Hunter Morris. On Friday, he started the Tigers scoring with a triple. Only his second of his career.
-Some problems that seem to be fixed include Auburn's error situation (none on Friday, 2 on Saturday and Sunday). Sure, no errors are better than 2, but its still a marked improvement from last weekend.
-The bullpen is making some solid improvements. Namely, Zach Blatt. Blatt is shaping himself up to next years closer, and if he keeps putting on performances like last Friday (2ip, 2k, 0b,0h,0r) then Auburn fans have something to be excited about. From when I've seen him, Blatt seems to thrive in those high pressure situations and not fold.
-Hunter Morris is slumping a bit. Well, slumping is a harsh word. More like a power drought. I'll blame it on the weather for now, but he's yet to hit a HR and seems a bit frustrated at the plate sometimes. It could also be his new found contact philosophy. After this latest cold front blows through, Auburn should be getting pretty warm, let's hope Hunter does the same.
-Kevin Patterson is stuck in a logjam. He's only played in 2 games this year. One (the opener) was forgettable and the second (Sunday) was outstanding: 2 for 3 with a HR/2bb/0k. I'm not entirely sure why Wes Gilmer has been DHing. Especially with Gilmer struggling lately. If KP seriously struggles so much against LHP that a better option is a guy who went hitless this weekend (Gilmer) then there is only one solution, play KP against LHP more to get him the experience. When Mummey gets back in the lineup, then that will probably push Tony Caldwell out of his stopgap role in RF. TC is just as valuable as KP. It's a struggle Coach John Palowski will have to work out.
-Jon Luke Jacobs has to fix whatever he's struggling with. 2 sub par starts on Friday are not going to cut it during SEC play. In my opinion, this Friday against Miami (OH) is his put up or shut-up outing. If he can't get out of the 5th inning against a mid-level MAC team, then it might be time for some bullpen work.
-Slade Smith, probably the future of Auburn's pitching staff, made his debut on Saturday. His line: 2ip/2h/3k/0er. Pretty nice debut.
-Speaking of good debuts, Cole Nelson continues to amaze. Another solid outing: 6ip/6h/1er/2r/1bb/12k. That's right, 12 strikeouts against Florida Atlantic.
-Stephen Kohlscheen is human after all. A rough go last Saturday (.2 ip/2h/4er)
-Brian Fletcher is on absolute tear. So much so that he was named both SEC and The College Baseball Blogs Player of the Week:
In 14 plate appearances over the weekend, Fletcher had seven hits, two walks and was hit by a pitch, driving in 11 RBI to give him 17 on the season in just six games. He has now hit safely in all six games this season and has an 11-game hitting streak dating back to last season.
Through two weeks of play, Fletcher leads the SEC in RBI, home runs (four) and total bases (26), is second in slugging percentage (1.040) and 11th in batting average (.440)
The Hitter and pitcher of the weekends should be pretty obvious.
Still just 3 out 5. Yes, Auburn won another series but could just have easily gone 1 for 3. But again, overall 4-2 is a ton better than 2-4, and at least we didn't get swept at home against Southeastern Louisiana. I'll let MeatLoaf sum up my feelings:

Pauline Martin, FNP-BC
Many years ago, Pauline realized that the focus of medicine is often on the treatment of symptoms rather than going to the root of the problem or preventing it altogether if possible. She believes that it is important to approach health from a more holistic view; mind, body, and spirit, and integrating conventional and complimentary medicine in order to maximize health. It is also extremely important that each person be an active participant in his or her treatment plan.
Pauline Martin received her Bachelor of Arts degree in German and her Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from the University of Texas at Austin. She worked as a nurse in Labor and Delivery and then went on to expand her knowledge and training by completing her Family Nurse Practitioner certification at Georgia Southern College in 1986.
She has worked in a variety of settings taking care of patients of all age groups. Pauline also spent over four years working for the Department of State in Chad, Africa and Mexico City where her patients along with Embassy and related personnel, included Peace Corps Volunteers whom she had to visit out in the bush. This was an excellent exposure to tropical and parasitic illnesses as well as honing her diagnostic skills since often there were limited resources to assist her. She went on to work in the recompression chamber for diving injuries in Cozumel, Mexico before coming back to Austin and practicing in the community here since 1994. She continues to keep current by attending conferences and serving as a preceptor for Nurse Practitioner students.
Pauline is experienced in the diagnosis and management of thyroid, hormones, chronic fatigue, allergies, diabetes, elevated cholesterol, autoimmune diseases and gut issues. She also enjoys working with overall health, anti-aging, and disease prevention. She loves working with women prior to conception and during and after pregnancy. Pauline also is very experienced and delights in working with all ages of children from birth on.
Pauline enjoys running, horseback riding, scuba diving, and traveling in her spare time. She speaks excellent Spanish and rusty French and German.
