Catfish in the home aquarium
Well, in General, these lines belong to a huge river catfish am. Today we'll talk about aquarium catfish the ICA, which for the most part not concerned with these problems. Species of aquarium catfish of ICA there are several hundred and they are so different from each other that it's hard to believe it's all related. The main feature of any and som are characterized by a mustache – an organ of touch. They can be barely noticeable, or they may be so much that the fish and fish-like. In any case, before you – som-IR. Fish leads a benthic lifestyle, finding food on the bottom of the pond. These inhabitants of a sun-warmed, shallow freshwater lagoons of South America appeared in Europe for a long time. First spotted som of ICA brought in 1876. Since then, beautiful, diverse and unpretentious som ICA became favourites and beginners and experienced aquarists.
The aquarium for them should be chosen on the basis of 30-50 litres per fish. Continue reading

Life in a marine aquarium.
Currently becoming more popular marine aquariums. They contain over 800 species of marine fish. The brilliance of the outfit, the intricacy and variety of forms, especially coral, creatures, amazing behavior put them far above the representatives of the freshwater ichthyofauna. Living environment for marine fishes (salinity 30-35% pH 8,0-8,4) is much more complicated than freshwater, and maintain its stability only by applying a sophisticated filtering system and water reclamation, temperature control, and so on. Water temperature should not exceed 33 °C. Illumination (at the height of the aquarium is about 50 cm) is 1 W per 1 cm length or 50 square centimeter area of the aquarium. A saltwater aquarium should not be less than 150-200 l volume. aquarium forum
One of the representatives of marine aquarium fishes is the clown fish. Continue reading

India, Afghanistan Sign MoU On I&B
Films will form a crucial component in a new thrust to bilateral ties between India and Afghanistan who have signed a MoU on capacity building in the information and broadcasting sectors. "A process has also been initiated to facilitate the flow of films from India into Afghanistan," the official release said marking the first ever such venture being initiated by India with a neighbouring country.
Indian films, particularly from Bollywood, have a huge following in Afghanistan. The MoU, signed by I&B minister Ambika Soni and Sayed Makhdoom Raheen, Afghanistan's minister for information and culture, will seek to tackle a range of issues including media policies and strategies, development of an independent and free press in Afghanistan, development and standardization of media related programmes, graphic designing, production of documentaries and films and other related areas.
Soni said this new initiative would be a platform for development of media policies and strategies between the two countries. Key Indian policies related to digitalization, self-regulation, content management, innovative programming with regard to outreach programmes at the grassroots, were also highlighted during the exchange. At present, Afghanistan has 35 TV channels, 150 FM radio channels and 1500 newspapers. India has 706 operational TV channels.

Research has shown that about 45% of adult have snoring problems. If you or your spouse happens to be among the percentage, you do not have to cause troubles to your marriage as there are several ways that can help you reverse the situation. Snoring has been known to cause problems in marriages because many people do not how to approach it. If you are trying to find a solution to the snoring problem, then you are in the right place. So before you go for snoring aids, the following tips can also help you do away with snoring problem once and for all.
Check on Your Sleeping Position
Did you know that your sleeping position can be the cause why you experience snoring problems? Well, if you didn't know, then you now know. When you lie on your back, you make the base of your tongue and the soft palate to collapse and these results to the production of the vibrating sound when you are asleep. So it is good to examine your sleeping position to establish if they have been the cause of your problems. Changing your sleeping positions and asking your partner to watch over you can make a huge difference as far as doing away with snoring is concerned.
Loss Weight
Losing weight has been proven to help some people do away with the problem and not everyone. If you started snoring after you gained weight, then it means that you can do away with the problem if you lose the weight. People start snoring after they have gained weight because the weight around the neck squeezes the internal vents of the throat making them to collapse when one is sleeping. This leads to snoring.
Avoid Alcohol
Do you fall in the category of those people who drink alcohol beyond limits? Well, if you are, then you need to underssnoring aidstand that that could be the origin of your problem. Apart from the other many side effects associated with alcohol, it is known to cause snoring in some adults. You are probably wondering how. It is believed that alcohol causes muscles to be weak and therefore making them vulnerable to collapsing when one is asleep.
Practice Good Sleep
Good sleep hygiene is the habit of ensuring that you get enough and quality sleep every day. Working long hours without sleep, makes you tired so that when you finally sleep, your muscles are overtired and therefore becomes floppier which might result in snoring.

Natural spirit tea is an elegant white tea, and is my absolute favorite drink on summer mornings. It has a subtle, refined taste, and feels refreshing in hot weather. A most delicious and uplifting tea. I cannot get enough of it this summer.
Choco black tea is one of my favorite teas of all time! It really is amazing to me that just black tea can have such an amazingly complex flavor. This tea has no astringent quality . . . which is true of all the teas I've had from Health&Tea (so far I've had all that they sell). I can brew one scoop of tea multiple times before I need to add fresh.
The best Oriental Beauty tea I've tasted. Easy to brew – a very forgiving tea. No bitterness. Very smooth. I brew mine "Chinese-style" in a small teapot or gaiwan. Water almost boiling but not quite. I use 2 teaspoons dry tea in an 8 oz. teapot for a minute or two. I've experimented with different brewing parameters and the tea never disappoints.

Sketchbook Project Flip Through
The journey to fill up my book for @sketchbkproject was almost as convoluted as the pages themselves. This is the Mixiest of mixed media!
To Brooklyn and beyond!
Since last summer when it arrived, I was chasing my tail with ideas for this project. Four days before the deadline I declared it finished and posted it off to its new home in Brooklyn Art Library.
The in-between
The edge of the fold.
The home of contention and conjecture,
Not either or but both and.
It's just where the horizon touches.
Paper Obstacles
I had a really clear idea what I wanted to do with this book from (almost) the outset last year - a rambling whirl of doodles, a stream of consciousness running through the pages.
introducing my inner adult…
All through this month I've been prompted and nudged along by Inktober, seeing daily reminders to keep inkdrawing from the good folks of the youtubes & the instagrams. They kept me company as developed this stream of consciousness doodle running through my sketchbook-project-sketchbook, leading from one page to the next...

Posted 17 March 2016 | By Nick Paul Taylor
Welcome to our European Regulatory Roundup, our weekly overview of the top EU regulatory news.
Eli Lilly has warned it may move production of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) out of the European Union because of REACH regulations. The production of two of Lilly's veterinary APIs is tied to the availability of cobalt salts, something it says is becoming a "significant problem" that may ultimately force it to relocate its manufacturing operation.
Lilly made the comments in feedback to a United Kingdom parliamentary inquiry into the effect of EU regulation on the life science industry. While the life science sector has generally argued in favor of the UK remaining in the EU, the feedback from Lilly shows there are sections of the industry that are unhappy with the current situation. For Lilly's veterinary API plant in Liverpool, the problem is REACH, the EU regulation on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals that first came into force almost nine years ago.
In its feedback, Lilly said REACH is a "significant burden" on the pharmaceutical industry and makes Europe a less attractive location for the production of drug ingredients. APIs themselves are exempt from REACH, but the regulation does affect processing solvents and other ingredients that are used in their production. To use materials on the REACH authorization list, companies need to apply to the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) for clearance, a process Lilly claims is unpredictable. Lilly also thinks the lengths of the clearances granted by ECHA can be incompatible with industry lead times.
With Lilly viewing REACH as a "substantial regulatory and financial burden" that only applies to API plants in the EU, it thinks the regulation is giving overseas companies an advantage. "[It] is having a significant detrimental impact on the competitiveness of pharmaceutical manufacturing in the UK," Lilly wrote. For Lilly, the biggest REACH-related issue is the availability of cobalt salts. "There are no substitutes for cobalt. If we were unable to continue using cobalt salts in the production of these veterinary medicines, we would be forced to move that production outside of the EU," it wrote.
The feedback form submitted by Lilly is one of nearly 30 documents received by the parliamentary committee since it began the consultation in late January. To date, Lilly is the only pharmaceutical company to submit its own feedback, with the views of the rest of the industry being represented in a filing by the UK BioIndustry Association (BIA). BIA is in favor of the UK staying in the EU, in part because of the loss of influence it thinks would result from Brexit, both in terms of the drug industry and its regulator.
"The UK would be in the paradoxical situation of having a world-leading regulator...that is only able to create regulation for 3% of the global market, and whose work would be informed by a European framework that it cannot influence," BIA wrote. "Overall, from the perspective of the UK life sciences industry sector, it is vital that the UK remains engaged in the EU and takes a leading role in shaping legislative and regulatory policy developments affecting the life sciences ecosystem."
Lilly Feedback, BIA Comments, More
The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has proposed adding a safety section to its guidelines on clinical trials of anticancer medical products. Whereas safety takes up one page of the current version of the guidelines, the draft text dedicates six pages to the subject, allowing CHMP to go into more detail about collecting data and using patient-reported outcomes.
Safety in oncology trials is a particularly complex topic, in part because the symptoms of the disease itself and toxicity of backbone therapies can make it difficult to tell whether an adverse event was caused by the experimental treatment. Tolerance for risk also varies significantly across the various cancer indications. Patients with inoperable tumors may be willing to tolerate significant side effects if the treatment is potentially curative. This is unlikely to be the case in cancer indications for which adequate treatments already exist.
CHMP is encouraging drug developers to consider benefit-risk assessments and other factors as they design trials of cancer drugs. "The size of the safety database should be sufficient for benefit-risk assessment in the specific target population studied," CHMP wrote. Size is one of several aspects of study design CHMP is encouraging companies to assess when designing cancer trials. The committee also mentions the potential for longer overall survival in the experimental arm of a trial to introduce a source of bias into the safety data.
Another layer of complexity is added when the product is being tested in a pediatric population. For such trials, CHMP wants drug developers to gather adverse event data related to the maturation of organs and the long-term growth and development of patients. Recognizing that gathering such data pre-approval can be impossible, CHMP will allow companies to submit nonclinical results to support marketing authorizations. In this scenario, long-term human data would be collected post-approval. CHMP also thinks modeling and simulation data can help in some instances.
The committee has given the industry until 15 September to comment on the draft, which is the fifth revision of a guidance document first introduced in 1996.
Draft Guideline
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has published the 113 pages of comments it received on its draft guideline on development of treatments for Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy. EMA took more than two years to review the comments and formalize a final draft.
CHMP released the draft guideline for a six-month comment period in March 2013, but it took EMA until October 2015 to finalize the text. The release of the feedback gives an indication of the issues EMA was grappling with over that period. EMA received many ages of comments from individuals and patient groups with links to Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a rare genetic disorder that has become a particularly charged field of drug development in recent years.
Faced with criticism from patient representatives that the guideline failed to reflect the severity of the disease, EMA was forced to defend its approach. "The severe and fatal character of the disease is very well known and recognized, as well as the urgent need for the development of possible treatments. This may not be obvious from the text of the guideline due to the formal style in which it is written similar to all other guidelines," EMA wrote in its response to two pieces of feedback.
The release of the comments comes several months after CHMP adopted a final text, which is set to come into force on 1 July.
The United Kingdom Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is seeking feedback on a plan to allow over-the-counter sales of an ibuprofen formulation. The formulation, Ibuprofen Seven Plus 200mg/5ml Oral Suspension, is currently only available on prescription, but could be downgraded on the grounds that it unlikely to be a danger to health.

Last month 170 students completed the Undergraduate Research Scholars Program. This Capstone program is open to any TAMU student with a GPR of 3.0 or better who is interested in undertaking a research project under the mentorship of a TAMU faculty member over the course of consecutive Fall and Spring semesters. Undergraduate Research Scholars submit a proposal and timeline for their project in early Fall, attend a series of events and workshops designed to support their progress over the two semesters, present their work publicly at TAMU Student Research Week or a professional conference in their field, and submit a final scholarly piece (most commonly a thesis) by early April. The majority of award winners at Student Research Week are Undergraduate Research Scholars. Since the Undergraduate Research Scholars Program is an official Honors distinction, students who finish the program are designated Undergraduate Research Scholars in their graduation program and on their transcript, and receive a beautiful medallion commemorating their achievement at the Honors and Undergraduate Research Recognition Ceremony in May of each year. Honors and Undergraduate Research staff evaluate student engagement and accomplishment to select two best thesis award winners—one in Humanities/Arts/Social Science and one in Science/Technology/Engineering/Mathematics disciplines.
Our best thesis winner for the Humanities/Arts/Social Sciences is Susannah Barr, a class of 2015 graduating senior majoring in anthropology and minoring in Spanish and economics. Susannah did her research under the mentorship of Dr. Cynthia Werner, Head of the Department of Anthropology. Susannah chose to focus her studies on the Sunflower Project, a small aid organization dedicated to children's health and nutrition in the rural Dominican Republic, which Susannah and three friends founded in May 2013. Susannah's engagement with the Sunflower Project led her to the realization that the group had begun aid programming without understanding the needs and desires of the community they were working in. Her thesis project aimed to address this problem by performing a needs assessment that took into account wealth, income inequality, proximity to markets, current diet, preferred diet, and obstacles to dietary change. Susannah's studies demonstrated that while some of the Sunflower Project's assumptions were wrong, many of the initiatives undertaken by the project were appropriate for the community. More importantly, the information uncovered through her research allowed Susannah to make concrete suggestions for different or additional programming that will have a major and welcome impact on the diet and health of the community the Sunflower Project serves.
Our best thesis winner for the STEM fields is Connor Aimone, a class of 2015 senior majoring in electrical engineering and minoring in mathematics. Connor completed his thesis work under the mentorship of Dr. Le Xie, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering. Connor chose to focus on developing and testing mathematical models for voltage source converter based DC lines for transmission and distribution of power. The motivation behind this work revolved around finding an improved method for integrating renewable resources, such as wind or solar power. Improper connection of these energy sources into the nation's power system has the potential to cause stability issues that would "crash" the power grid and leave large swaths of the community without electricity. Connor's sophisticated mathematical representations allowed him to generate a detailed model that operators will be able to use to better understand the capabilities and limits of a particular system. He was also able to generate a simplified model that is easier and faster to use, allowing for modeling of systems over time. Both of his models are capable of standalone simulation or coupling with preexisting power system models.

Story of a mug: Part II
Thought I'd continue the story today, marking the official end to my masters degree and a start to new chapter after a year in London.
Today, someone told me that I was very brave for what I did this year moving to London, it actually wasn't the first time hearing someone say that to me. I have never thought of myself being a brave person, friendly, open, maybe, but not brave. Until one time at an interview, the interviewer asked me what was the bravest thing you think you've done, I have finally concurred and said the same - quit my job, say goodbye to family, friends and my comfort zone, coming to London to start something new, not knowing what - still think it's probably a slightly better answer than 'almost went skydiving'. Why was it brave? Because the scariest part to me was being on my own, dealing shit on my own, everything on my own. Now, I'm happy to say I'm over this phrase 'on my own' and I'm not scared anymore. Now thinking back, I believe there were a few triggers/reasons that have led me here, which I am truly grateful for.
My brother. He has never been a person of much words, he may be quiet but he knows what he wants and I'm still to date very proud of him making a decision himself to come to UK. Being a big sister, I should have been the inspiration but instead my younger brother have inspired me. Having missed the chance to study abroad during high school was the biggest regrets in my life, and the trip 2 years ago accompanying my brother to his new high school has made me remember that I do not want another regret in life. It was a 'either now or never' moment.
My job. My role at my previous company was not challenging anymore, I may have been doing good at my job, I got promotion, I got paid, but I wasn't searching anymore, I wasn't learning at all. It haw turned me to a lifeless, colorless person, I don't have conversation starters for dinner parties like everybody else, I get stressed about the size of a dress for my boss. I was searching for a way out, now I know, out of the my comfort zone.
My boyfriend. I would have probably gone to London without him anyway, but it was certainly the most reasonable place for both of us to be, I saw a chance and I grasped it. After all these time, he was the one who led me out of my comfort zone and I was surprisingly very comfortable out of it. He has led me make decisions I have never thought I would and I'm certainly grateful for. He might not know all these, but I do owe him a thank you.
Of course, there are also tons of people along the way. My parents - my unfailing support system. My best friend, Lesley - her being here has made it so much easier. Dan and Helen - for giving me a chance.
All of these have reminded me about the book I read 'The Alchemist', it was also related to the naming of this blog (and why I re-started this blog when I moved here). I believe in the universe of energy, if you believe in one thing hard enough, it will happen, eventually and it did for me. I finally did. 阿媽我得左喇!
Today I bought a beautiful glassware, instead of a mug, because today I have transformed, perhaps more fragile, less protected but I'm standing tall and proud of myself.

We can meet someone for a minute, spend an hour or a lifetime with someone and each encounter leaves us slightly (or significantly) different than we were before we met that person. I have personally had experiences where I had met someone new, spent a few hours with them, never saw them again and yet… to this day I remember them and think of them fondly. I have also had experiences where I met someone for an hour and remember the unpleasant experience I had (that encounter reminds me to always think before I speak and greet all people with kindness, honesty and the intention of clarity).
People can come and go, but their 'essence' stays with us. Some people have an energy about them that simply draws you in and you are left feeling so pleasant after the encounter that you think of them with happiness in your heart. Others have an energy that does not 'fit' with your own and those people are also in our energetic experience long after they physically leave our presence. Have you ever had that experience? You met someone (interacted with a moody salesperson in a shop) and their energy was so negative that they simply made you feel awful!? Some people make us feel bad about ourselves, doubt ourselves and others around us because they are not balanced and their only way of communicating is to expel their energy (which I call a 'low frequency' energy) onto us. In those situations, if we are not strong enough within ourselves to 'brush it off', we are left festering in that 'negative low frequency' for minutes, hours, days and, yes, sometimes even months and years go by and we still remember how unpleasant they made us feel.
This is how strong encounters can be. Something trivial can turn out to be a thing that festers within us for a long time. The trouble with that is that those people, the low frequency 'energy suckers' who gave us their 'load', are feeling much better afterwards, while their negativity has been transferred onto us. :s
Energy flows. It is constant, it is a never-ending, limitless force that has to exchange… it's all about give and take. If we are giving and never taking then we are in dischord. Same goes for those of us who take and never give. We are meant to SHARE our experiences here on this wonderful planet of ours. We are meant to share our energies, to balance each other out and experience new things, new people, new energies. This is the only way that we can grow.
And then there are those encounters that are beautiful and feel fantastic and leave us feeling like a million bucks! THOSE encounters are many and we NEVER forget the FEELING those people give us. I have had MANY of these and I am so grateful for them! Some people are just more in tune with our energy and I believe that their energy enhances some part of our own. This is why we can feel so good with some people and feel like absolute **** around others.
For me, I have had a new experience. I have met someone whose energy is SO fantastic, I can truly see the wonderful soul shining through. That person, though, might not see in themselves what I see in them. But, nevertheless, our encounters have always been interesting, filled with sparking conversation, fun, intelligence, wit, humour … this does not mean that the experience was the same for that person. Perhaps for my energy, I was receiving many, many things that I needed but for them, they were receiving very different things from me. I still believe that they have a purpose in my life, they are in my experience for a reason and that reason is still to be revealed. Perhaps we are there to open one another up, perhaps to learn something, perhaps to teach something, perhaps to exchange energies only, but… whatever it is, I KNOW that it is an encounter worth having. I know that it is not a mistake, nothing is.
Energy flows whether we like it or not, and we attract the people in our experience whether we see it, believe it, or not. So, the only reason some people are still in our lives is because we (or the universe) are keeping one another in our experiences. I choose to see life this way, and it truly makes me feel at ease with everyone i meet because I choose to believe that I am responsible for their presence in my day, life etc and they drew me, too.
Everyone has a role to play in our lives and we have our role in theirs. I say, I don't need to know whatmy role is, what their role is, none of that matters. All that is important to me is to look at every single person in my life as my greatest teacher and my greatest student. The lesson will be revealed in time… Article DANA KARIC
Lifeships™ are relationships That Are Experienced Through Ones Life's Journey -- Which Creates The Foundation Of Values That Are Nurtured Over An Evolution Of A Life Time, A Life Span, Or Some Portion Of One's Life. Connections That Create And Build The Roadmap To A Life's Journey...
Different from a friendship- Where as in a friendship it is cultivated for growth by two mutual beings to connect for a purpose. On the other hand a Lifeship is more of an influence on the process of life and your life's purpose.
How do Lifeships influence our Life Brand? As we travel through this roadmap called "Life" we come in contact with individuals who influence our decision making process. In the beginning its our parents, siblings, and family members, that influence our thoughts and decisions. Then the next portion of our journey is influenced by friends, associates, co-workers, etc. What does this all mean?
Well lets look at this for a second. When you look back over your life and you think about where you are now-Who influenced it? Who gave you the courage to go forward, or in some cases didn't believe you could accomplish something and it pushed you even harder. Well good or bad that was a Lifeship moment. We've all had situations when someone out of the blue gave us a boost of confidence we didn't expect and we held on to that moment until we reached that goal. It could be a perfect stranger at your coffee shop, and had a brief conversation that you briefly shared what you were doing, and they thought "Wow" that's awesome and it gave you the bump of confidence you needed to go forward.
Lifeships may come in different forms, it's the influences good and bad that help mold our lives through a human experience. It's a brief connection of souls meeting, and that encounter helps mold and define the Life Brand you ultimately become.
Life is About the People We Meet

Short on sleep, the Houston Astros finally stirred in the sixth inning when Yuli Gurriel hit a grand slam to help beat the Miami Marlins 7-2 on Monday night.
The Astros arrived at their hotel at 5am after a doubleheader in New York against the Yankees, and were listless and hitless against Dan Straily until the fifth inning.
Josh Reddick doubled in the sixth off Junichi Tazawa (1-1) and, after a walk and a hit batter loaded the bases, Gurriel connected with two outs for a 4-1 lead.
Jose Altuve homered in the ninth and drove in three runs.
In Phoenix, Arizona, Yasmany Tomas, Jeff Mathis and Daniel Descalso homered in a six-run eighth inning as the Arizona Diamondbacks handed struggling New York their fifth straight defeat.
Jake Lamb also went deep for the Diamondbacks, the latest team to take advantage of a beleaguered Mets bullpen.
Tomas snapped a 1-1 tie with a three-run homer off Hansel Robles (4-1). Mathis' two-run shot also came against Robles, hit hard for the second consecutive outing after a strong start to the season.
In Cleveland, Ohio, Indians starter Carlos Carrasco left early with an injury, but five relievers kept the lead and helped Cleveland hold off the Tampa Bay Rays.
Carrasco was pulled because of tightness in his left pectoral muscle after giving up an RBI single to Brad Miller. The right-hander allowed five runs in 3-2/3 innings and left with Cleveland ahead 7-4.
Boone Logan (1-0) retired both batters he faced. Andrew Miller permitted his first run of the season in the eighth and Cody Allen gave up a solo homer to Peter Bourjos in the ninth before earning his 10th save.
Lonnie Chisenhall hit a three-run homer in the first, when Cleveland scored five times off Chris Archer (3-2). Francisco Lindor added a solo shot in the eighth.
In Anaheim, California, Mike Trout homered for the fourth consecutive game to help Los Angeles top Chicago.
The Angels scored each of their runs via the long ball. Kole Calhoun hit a three-run homer to right in the fifth inning and Trout followed with a drive to left. Martin Maldonado homered in the seventh inning.
Angels right-hander Jesse Chavez (3-5) pitched seven-plus innings and Bud Norris got four outs for his eighth save.
Jose Abreu hit a two-run homer for Chicago and Tyler Saladino had an RBI triple. Mike Pelfrey (0-4) allowed four runs and three hits in 4-2/3 innings.
In other results, it was:
‧ Giants 8, Dodgers 4
‧ Braves 10, Blue Jays 6
‧ Mariners 6, Athletics 5
‧ Padres 6, Brewers 5, 10 Innings

Eva Mendes made a rare public appearance last night to promote the extension of her New York & Co clothing line. At the launch of her plus-size collection, Mendes caught up with People Chica and opened up about her quiet life.
Mendes revealed, she and beau Ryan Gosling, who share two daughters, Esmeralda, 3, and Amada, 1, are raising their little ones in a Cuban household.
RELATED: Ryan Gosling And Eva Mendes Show Rare PDA During Adorable Disneyland Date: Pics!
"Esmeralda mostly speaks Spanglish right now. It's really cute," Mendes explained. "She's definitely bilingual, and it's really important for us to make sure that she's not only just familiar with the language, but also with the culture."
The actress said her parents help a lot with bringing their Cuban flair into the home, "My mom, who lives 15 minutes away, makes it easy because she speaks to the girls in Spanish and cooks them Cuban food. And we're always listening to Cuban music. It really is a big part of our way of life. I wouldn't have it any other way."
She added that her father's influence on her daughters really helps them hone their Cuban roots: "My dad, who had been here for 45 years and still doesn't speak English, is a real asset. It's so cool because now that I'm trying to make sure that my girls speak Spanish, it's like, 'Ok, Dad, take them,' because I know that all they're going to speak with him is Spanish."
RELATED: Eva Mendes Dishes On Getting Back In Shape Post Pregnancy: 'No More Krispy Kremes'
Getting into fashion, Mendes, 43, revealed her Cuban culture inspired her to start a plus-size line, "Being Cuban and being raised in a very typical Cuban household influences everything I do. My mom and two sisters – us 4 girls – have completely different body types, and I love that about Latin culture. Under this beautiful umbrella of being Latin, are many shapes, colours and sizes."
The new collection form Mendes is available now.

Dreamed 1983/12/12 by Chris Wayan
I dreamed of what seemed to be an ink sketch by Dali of a horse--at least its head was Dali-strange, though the rest was more realistic.
But when I looked closer, I realized it was no horse, but a centaur, whose head, arms, and human torso had been bitten off! The guts and scraps spilled over, forming a mangled Dali parody of a horse-head. It was drawn so calmly, so matter-of-factly, I had refused to see it.
It frightened me--for I knew who it was. Me. Mistaking myself for a creature with a somewhat peculiar head... when I was really a mutilated, cut-off version of something quite different and more complex...
And if I want to heal, I need to regrow my non-comforming parts, not trim myself down like Procrustes to mimic normality.
"Procrustes" is a old Greek tale. In short:
A traveler stops at a lonely house as night falls. The host says he has a small guest bed. If the guest is too tall for the bed, the host just chops him down to size! If the guest is too short, he stretches you on a rack till you fit juuuuuust right.Worse than that blonde in the house of the mush-munching bears!
I joke about it, but I took the message seriously. Wrote and drew dreams like these doggedly--and they responded. A flood of intense mythic visions leading me eventually to quit my dayjob, leave suburbia, and try to regrow my murdered half.

Fellow pancake lovers, come one and come all!
These pancakes are truly comfort food… they are soft and hearty and loaded with delicious little chocolate chips. But believe it or not, they are created with ingredients you can feel good about! In fact, sometimes I'll just hand one to my boys to eat as a snack with nothing on it.
And even though I've eaten my body's weight in pancakes this week while perfecting this recipe, I still drool every time I look at these photos. Just look at all of those chocolate chips…. mmmm…..
But let's address the elephant in the room, shall we? I imagine the first question a fellow pancake-loving soul (such as yourself) would ask after seeing the name of this recipe would be:
"Audrey, what in the world are blender pancakes??"
Which would lead me to respond with:
"Why, that's a very good question! They are pancakes whose batter was blended in a blender rather than mixed in a bowl. This is done so that chunky ingredients can easily be added to the mix. In this case, that chunky ingredient happens to be…. (drum roll)… frozen cauliflower!"
Now, don't click away – you gotta trust me on this! You can't even taste the cauliflower.
Believe it or not, the cauliflower adds heartiness to the pancakes. Plus, we ALL could use more fiber, vitamins and minerals, right? So why not sneak them into a dish that feels like an absolute treat!
The added bonus? This recipe is extremely simple. Let me show you:
- First, heat a frying pan over medium heat – or – a griddle to 350 degrees. Lightly spray your pan or griddle with oil.
- Then, add all ingredients EXCEPT the chocolate chips to a blender in the order they are listed.
- Blend until smooth.
- Remove the blender from the base and stir in the chocolate chips with a spoon.
- Drop large spoonfuls of batter onto your heated pan or griddle to create 3 – 4 inch pancakes.
- Once the edges start to turn a light tan color, give those cakes a flip and allow to cook another couple minutes on the other side.
- Serve immediately with extra chocolate chips and a drizzle of maple syrup! YUM!
If you decide to give these pancakes a try, please let me know what you think in the comments below. I hope you love them as much as we do!
Vegan Chocolate Chip Whole Grain Blender Pancakes
Makes about 12 four-inch pancakes
- 1 1/4 cups Water
- 2 Tb. Ground Flaxseeds
- 2 Tb. Maple Syrup
- 1 cup Frozen Cauliflower
- 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract (I like THIS kind)
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour OR Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
- 2 tsp. Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
- 1/3 cup + 1 Tb. Mini Chocolate Chips, plus more for garnishing

Parliament Issue 28 • Legal Update!
There is more out there to Politics than the face of the President! (Although it sure is tough to see that sometimes.) Behind the political world that dominates the daily news, there are changes to laws, regulations, and rules that could affect your business operations. So what are they? And just what can we expect to happen in the near future when it comes to deathcare regulatory matters?
In this Issue:

The owl has long been associated with wisdom, longevity and truth. They've appeared for centuries in old texts (and sometimes new texts) related to death and to justice.
That said, Lemasters is a blend of two things: deathcare and law.
The owl has been a part of our company symbolism since our founding (the three colored circles in the logo for Lemasters are inspired by the shape of an owl's eye).
And the name of this publication? A Parliament is what you call a group of owls.

|Vol. 1
|Laurel Hill, Fla, Thursday, January 6, 1916
is only a partial paper. I will type what I have.
Echoes from the Bayous and Bay County.
Last Friday, Christmas Eve, the patrons of the Garniers School, and a few of their friends, were invited to participate in the joyous festivities of teachers and pupils in their Christmas celebration and to say that the day was a perfect success in every way, would be the least that could be said. The sumptuous spread, was all that could be desired in the way of good things to delight the eye as well as refresh the inner man, and all voted the dinner a perfect success.
After dinner was eaten and the baskets cleared away, all were delightfully entertained by a recitation from each child, and it would be hard to discriminate between them as every one showed careful preparation and all deserve praise and credit, for all the children are very small and some of them are just beginners, but we feel that special mention should be made of W. N. Hartgrove, Jr. for the excellent manner in which he delivered his piece, "The Night Before Christmas," after which Professor Hartgrove read the sequel, "The Night After Christmas," and both were greatly enjoyed by all.
Last, but by no means least, came the distribution of the presents, after which all departed for their respective homes with many expressions of enjoyment and pleasant thoughts of a happily spent day long to be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to have been present.
Christmas passed off very quietly.
Mr. R. J. Battenfield of Bladen Point on Bay Beach, visited Mr. L. W. Winsley at the head of Don's Bayou, Saturday and Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Kelley, who have been visiting Mrs. R. C. Irvine on Five Mile Bayou, expect to leave this week for Mobile, Ala., to visit Mr. Kelley's father.
Mr. and Mrs. Willis Wright and daughter Ella, Shafter Johnson, of Garniers, and William Wright, of Wright, Fla., were Camp Walton visitors Saturday.
Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Guinst, of Garniers, visited Pensacola friends the first of the week.
We hear that the Camp Walton sports claim that the fish won't bite, lately, but we think they may either haven't tried at the right time and place and do not go at them in the right way, as the folks around the Bayous are catching large quantities of trout. Nothing wrong with the fish, Gentlemen, it's only the fishermen who yet have to learn some things about the habits of the fish, when they bite or strike, as the case may be. Better send your politicians back to Tallahassee to invent a lax to make the fish bite for you.
The roads have been pretty busy lately and we are hoping to have some good roads in this part of the county for they are badly needed.
We are pleased to know that The Leader has changed the date of publication as we will hereafter get The Leader instead of the following Monday as heretofore, owing to our inadequate mail service.
There are many of you.
That we appreciate your patronage, your loyalty and steadfastness, fully as much as you appreciate the help we have at times been able to furnish you, goes without saying.
HOWEVER, we want to take this public method of thanking you for past patronage and , with full confidence that this patronage will continue, we pledge you our best endeavors in the future as you have had in the past.
WISHING you an increased measure of Happiness and Prosperity for the year 1916, we are

Mr. Henry Clary made a business trip to Pensacola last Monday.
Mr. Charlie Clary seems to be very busing filling his appointments.
It seems as the professor has a pretty nervy backbone as he was siding one of his pupils Sunday. He is a nervy one to spoon with a girl on Sunday and teach her all week.
Among those who attended preaching at Yellow River Sunday were Professors J. L. Jones and A. C. Steele, Miss Roseda King and several others.
Mrs. Leila White visited Mrs. Leona Trammll Tuesday evening.
Miss Rachel Davidson spent Sunday with Miss Arminda Smith.
Mrs. J. G. Davidson is numbered among the sick this week.
There are two things that Newell must do to be in style.
1. She must ring the wedding bells.
2. Get out her announcement as a candidate for the county seat.

What is it?
Bitcoin is a new currency that was produced in2009 by an unknown person using the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. Deals are made without anymiddle guys— significance, no banks! There are notransaction charges and no have to provide your real name. More merchants are beginning to accept them: You can purchase web hosting services, pizza or even manicures.
Is it genuinely Anonymous for Foothill Ranch residents?
Though each bitcoin transaction is tape-recorded in a public log, names of purchasers and sellers are never everrevealed— just their wallet IDs. While that keeps bitcoin users' transactions personal, it also lets them purchase or sell anything without easily tracing it back to them. That's why it has become the currency of choice for people online purchasingdrugs or other illicit activities.
Compared to Brexit, Bitexit appears a piece of cake. On August 1st, without much agonizing or uncomfortable settlements, a group of Bitcoin activists and business owners managed to create a secondversion of the crypto-currency. It instantly acquired a following: as The Economist went to press, a system of "Bitcoin Money" had a cost of $460 and tokens worth $7.6 bn were incirculation (although that is still much smaller sized than Bitcoin timeless, which stood at about $2,700 and almost $45bn).
This "fork", as such events are called, came earlier than anticipated. However it is how experts had anticipated a two-year-old dispute over the future of Bitcoin to end. At the heart of this "civil war" was the concern of how to increase the capability of the system, which can manage only approximately 7 deals per second. Thenew variation is able to process more than 50 per 2nd, but otherwise works just like the original one. [google-map location="Foothill Ranch CA"]
Will Bitcoin Cash be more than just another "altcoin", as the many existing clones of the crypto-currency are called? It is backed by Chinese"miners", companies that offer the computing power to verify payments and mint new digital coins. Theyhave been unhappy with how the initial system has actually been managed by its developers— and made some further technical tweaks toensure that the brand-new Bitcoin survives. The fans of the two versions will now fight over which can claim to be the " genuine"Bitcoin
Perpetuity High Rates in Foothill Ranch California
The rate of bitcoin has actually smashed through $5,000 to an all-time high.
The cryptocurrency rose by more than 8% to $5,243 having started the year at $966. Bitcoin has actually skyrocketed by more than 750% in the past year and is worth 4 times as much as an ounce of gold.
However the price has actually been unpredictable. The digital currency plunged listed below $3,000 in mid-September after the Chinese authorities announced a crackdown.Beijing purchased cryptocurrency exchanges to stop trading and obstruct new registrations, due to worries that increasing varieties of consumers pilinginto the bitcoin market could trigger widerfinancial issues.
The chief trader at for Foothill Ranch California, stated:"The returns are really amazing, specifically offeredthe current ban on bitcoin trading in China, wheredemand had formerly accounted for at least 10% of all worldwide volumes."
The Russian president called today for guideline of cryptocurrencies, saying their use "bears major dangers" such as money laundering, tax evasion and funding for terrorism. However he also alerted versusimposing "too many barriers," which appears to have actually offered bitcoin a boost.
Despite warnings over a bubble, bitcoinis getting in acceptance. Last month, a Londonproperty designer, The Collective, stated it would allow its tenants to pay their deposits in bitcoin and accept rent payments in the cryptocurrency by the end of the year.
History of Bitcoin
A guy named Satoshi Nakamoto published a term paper to an odd cryptography listservdescribing his style for a brand-new digital currency that he called bitcoin. None of the list's veterans had actually become aware of him, and what little details could be gleaned was dirty and inconsistent. In an online profile, he stated he lived inJapan. His e-mail address was from a freeGerman service. Google searches for his name turned upno pertinent info; it wasclearly a pseudonym. But while Nakamoto himself mayhave been a puzzle, his development crackeda issue that had actually puzzledcryptographers for decades. The concept of digital money—convenient and untraceable, freed from the oversight of governments and banks— had actuallybeen a hot subject given that the birth of the Internet. Cypherpunks, the 1990s motion of libertarian cryptographers, devoted themselves to theproject. Yet every effort to produce virtual cash had actually foundered, especially in Foothill Ranch CA. Ecash, an anonymous systemlaunched in the early 1990s by cryptographer David Chaum, stopped working in part since itdepended on the existing facilities ofgovernment and credit card business. Other propositions followed— bit gold, RPOW, b-money—but none got off the ground.

24hrs in ICELAND!
My friend Winy celebrated a milestone a few weeks ago and decided to go all out by inviting a group of us on a 24H Icelandic adventure. When I hear about Iceland, I think Blue Lagoons but there is so much more to discover!
We flew with Wow Air which is a low cost carrier from Iceland. As tacky as it may sound, once you check out their prices you will literally end up saying 'wow'! So what is the catch with these prices that sound too good to be true? There aren't any per say. From their prices to the service offered, the whole experience is simply wow! The colors of the brand are also fun with the flight attendant's uniform to the purple planes. The 'per say' part has been added simply because there are a few things you need to know. For example, the size of your carry on allowed on the plane is smaller than usual and checking in your luggage will cost you around 64$ CAD (online and around 90$ CAD at check-in) . There is no business class or first class, simply a front row with more leg room! Get your credit card ready because the food provided has to be purchased. Knowing that you paid a very low amount to fly, these extra expenses are understandable.
Upon our arrival in Reykjavik, we had a full day planned with the lovely expert Gunar from Islandic Nature Tours. Although I am not a fan of tour guides, I was glad we had one because there is so much more to do than the lagoon plus the richness of Iceland's story is worth discovering. The setting is surreal and the air is rejuvenating in Iceland! BOOK a tour with Gunar and discover hidden breathtaking places!
First we had breakfast at Viking World which is a beautiful museum created to learn about the Vikings and their history. A must!
We then drove down to the geothermal areas, visited the tip of Reykjanes and my memorable moment; the bridge between two continents. On one side we see Eurasia and on the other side, America. With the scenery and black sand, we were inspired to take a few pics!
Our late lunch as at Hja Höllu in Grindavik (few minutes away from lagoons) where we had the best meal I have had in months. The restaurant is modern and cozy with a great wine selection.. We had the pleasure to try a white fish, sweet potatoes with a balsamic reduction on the side, simply perfect!
Next ATVs were waiting for us courtesy of the 4x4 Adventure Iceland company. We geared up to drive around near Grindavick which was quite exhilarating! Another must!!!! The group still had some energy for more sightseeing in the area and of course visit the lagoons which lead to a boat ride to catch the sunset. Up to this point we were beat, jet-lagged and ready to head to our hotel.
Once we arrived at ALDA hotel, I was ready to hit the sauna in their fitness center and rest because all of this moving around got the best of me. The rest of the group went for dinner downstairs (which i received great feedback for it). After 2hrs of sleep it was already time to pack and catch a plane to Paris....!
Please note that the pictures for the hotel were taken from their official website.
Quite frankly, I recommend Iceland to the nature lovers and the ones who simply love to discover the world. With Wow Air offering direct flights at a good price so you pretty much have no excuses.
NB: This was a great resume of our trip but for more information, leave a comment or message and I will get back to you.

Back to School Safety
September is a wonderfully exciting month for children as they head back to school. For parents however, a new school year often arrives hand-in-hand with heightened worry due to concerns of safety on school grounds. Sadly, shootings and other violent crimes have occurred far too frequently on school property. The best advice is to prepare for the worst. Arkansas has recently taken an initiative to incorporate school safety and innovative technology. Under the 2015 School Safety Act, every K-12 public school in Arkansas will have access to a new mobile app called the Rave Panic Button. Created by Rave Mobile Safety of Framingham, Massachusetts, this mobile system could provide faster and more precise response to not only active shooter situations, but also other crisis situations including fires and medical emergencies. With this app, students and school faculty with mobile devices are able to send immediate and specific information to emergency responders with just the touch of a button, should a troubling situation arise. Furthermore, with this app, local police and fire departments are provided with digital floor plans of schools within their appropriate districts. In the event of an emergency, local responders are provided with precise location-specific information regarding the alert, as well as information about the person who generated the alert. Proponents of this act affirm that the app could shave precious seconds off of the time it takes emergency personnel to respond to potentially life-threatening situations. Rave Mobile Safety has ensured that this is a step in the right direction in terms of enhancing school safety. While this alert system is highly useful, it is crucial that students and school faculty, including bus drivers are prepared to respond to intruder and active shooter situations, even before emergency response teams arrive. Taino Consulting Group offers a variety of risk preparedness courses including Bus Driver / Transportation Employee Safety Awareness and Intruder Response Overview. To learn more, contact us at email@example.com. Make this school year your safest yet!

there was a party in heaven!
"We cannot keep quiet about what we have seen and heard." --Acts 4:20 (CEV)
On April 11th, our best friend made the very important (and exciting!) decision to turn his life over to Christ. Praise the Lord!! We enjoyed an evening of conversation, tears, hugs & prayer together. Two things are incredibly humbling to us in this situation: witnessing our prayers being answered and recognizing that we've played a role in God's plan.
It's so encouraging—and truly inspiring—to experience God orchestrating all of the details of our lives so carefully. If we're not careful, we can easily miss those little details & overlook them. Looking back over the years, months, weeks and days of these "little" events that led all three of us to our living room on that particular Sunday evening, we realized at once that there were SO many overlapping paths and "random" occurrences that got us there—together. Sure, call it irony…call it luck. From our perspective, the impossibility of these things could only have ONE possible explanation: God knew what He was doing. (See Romans 8:28.)
"Or imagine a woman who has ten coins and loses one. Won't she light a lamp and scour the house, looking in every nook and cranny until she finds it? And when she finds it you can be sure she'll call her friends and neighbors: 'Celebrate with me! I found my lost coin!' Count on it—that's the kind of party God's angels throw every time one lost soul turns to God." --Luke 15:8-10 (The Message)
We also know it doesn't end there & that we have a responsibility…
"You used to be far from God. Your thoughts made you his enemies, and you did evil things. But his Son became a human and died. So God made peace with you, and now he lets you stand in his presence as people who are holy and faultless and innocent. But you must stay deeply rooted and firm in your faith. You must not give up the hope you received when you heard the good news. It was preached to everyone on Earth, and I myself have became a servant of this message." --Colossians 1:21-23 (CEV)
We are so excited to encourage each other in our faith & life now, as friends. Our friendship will only run deeper now than it ever has. (See Ecclesiastes 4:9-12.) Can't wait to see what else God has up his sleeve for us! We hope you are encouraged in reading these words. Never forget that God is in control and that He loves us deeply.

The sun had been cruel to her family, the children especially. Anladet and her siblings had awoken to skin hot, dry, and red, blistered in some places. Their skin, a mix between their mother's dark bronze and father's fair color, was unused to the exposure an open beach brought. Even their father's nose, cheekbones, and forehead were pink where the sun had burned them, though he had spent quite a bit of time under the awnings the town provided. He left that morning and returned with an ointment for them to rub on their skin.
Their view in the hotel had been limited to the buildings across the street and the ones right up against the other side. Martin didn't want his family stuck inside when they were capable of at least walking and seeing. They decided to get dressed after breakfast and explore the town.
The street they were on ended in an L-shape, then turned toward the center of town. The buildings on the western part of the road stopped abruptly, replaced by a forest of short pines. "Why do you think it's wooded here?" Martin asked.
Garlin and Sildet kept throwing out answers, starting with obvious ones and moving eventually into fantastical ideas that sometimes bordered on silly. Raidet rolled her eyes and tried to stay as far from her family as possible. Anladet spent her time looking around and trying to notice things, as her father had taught her. "Is it because of the wizard?"
Her father turned and raised his eyebrow. "Anla, I'm surprised you've joined your younger siblings in the fairy tales. I thought you would be the one to say the right thing."
She was doubtful of her thoughts for a moment, but answered, "Wizards like to live in forests in high towers, yes? I thought maybe he lived up there." She pointed up.
Martin looked as did the rest of her family, her mother holding her wide-brimmed hat to make sure it stayed on her head. Her father laughed. "Perhaps not exactly how I thought you were going to answer that, but you're right in a way. These are the grounds of the Grand Courmet Hotel. They believe that forests are a great place for their customers to relax and retreat from the tribulations living in the city can bring."
This was on odd concept for Anladet. Her tribe lived in a forest. Some were always relaxed while others weren't. Maybe this was one of those "people do things differently and we should respect that" things that her father was always talking about.
There was a carefully lettered sign, very neatly written, that was tacked to a tree. Martin asked Garlin to read it out loud, which he did so with only a few stumbles.
~World Famous~
Analussian Hot Springs
Cures Ailments
Soothes Wary Travelers
Open Viewing for the Public
"I think we may have found a lovely excursion," her father said and led the family onto the trail.
Just a few hundred feet away, the path was raised by a boardwalk. Another sign requested for all visitors to proceed on the pathway for fear of injury or death. Not even Martin knew why. Anladet suspected there might be creatures in the forest that wouldn't touch anyone on the path due to their fear of lumber. She squeezed Garlin's hand, who looked around worriedly and wouldn't let go.
"Ah," her father said, holding the syllable out. They had reached the end and were instructed to stay on one side of a short fence to view the hot springs. "The ground must have been unstable or maybe there were small springs in the forest. I've read that some are very, very hot and can kill a person. They just did it for our safety, so we wouldn't fall into one."
Garlin let go of Anla's hand and ran up next to their father. "Are these ones safe?" he asked, then added, "Martin?"
"I suppose so! See, there are people bathing over there!" he said, pointing far to the right.
Every one of them, even Raidet, leaned over the fence to view the swimmers. They were decently clothed, much as Anla and her siblings had been the day before, but in finer suits. The water was a soft blue, like the sky at the horizon in the middle of a hot day. Steam rose in plumes and obscured the scenery, which was likely more trees and flowers anyhow.
Another sign pointed left, informing the family that one hour's time in the hot springs was priced steeply at eight silver per person (or it was complimentary with a stay at the hotel). It was yet another thing that would be too much for them. Though their father brought his family considerable means with his profession, and also helped considerably with the Deerborn tribe, he did not make enough to keep up with the typical patronage of Analussia.
If there were any doubts about what kind of clientele came to the opulent resort town, they were dispelled when they stood before the hotel. "Best behavior," their father said. "No touching, no running. We're just going to look inside and leave."
Anladet was too awestruck to do anything but gape. Even outside, the richly embellished sign and the gardens along the front were enough to make her want to sit and take them in for a while. At home, only their house had flower beds and carved wood for decoration. It was one of many little things that Martin had added to blend he and his wife's traditions together. Though tolerated by the tribe, his affectations were seen as queer. He therefore kept them relatively simple, not like the treasures in front of Anla.
Their father shepherded them inside the atrium of the hotel, where two men in crisp, dark brown uniforms that matched the exterior of the building greeted guests and opened doors for them.
Inside, the floors were shiny and white with sparkling, black veins. "That's marble," their father explained. "It's very expensive." The walls were covered in paper with a soft, tan color, like the beach sand. The counters and tables were made from a lacquered wood, gleaming as the morning sun strewn through the large windows.
Anla couldn't help but gawk. She looked up and saw all the way to the top of the hotel, twenty stories high. Each floor had an open space in the middle where guests could view the sights below if they wished. The main attraction would be the indoor garden. Indoors! And they were real plants, which she needed to verify by rubbing the broad leaf of one plant between her fingers. The thought still was hard to grasp until her father explained patiently that it was like a very large version of the herbs he kept in the kitchen.
As her mind settled, she began to take in finer details. The wallpaper wasn't just one color, but had a curled design slightly darker than tan. The border under the front desk was a dark metal in the fashionable eyelash pattern. And they had gold, real gold, on the ashtrays and the painting frames behind the desk.
Their father explained that this hotel did more than just feed and quarter rich guests. Up above, somewhere, there were rooms where wizards plied their trade. There were musicians, dancers, and gymnasts who put on shows for the guests. Gheny's best touch wizards soothed guests for top dollar. "So you weren't totally wrong, Anla," he said. "There are wizards in the top of the tower, but they don't live there or own it."
It was like being in a painting. It seemed wonderful to Anladet that such a place existed and that she could visit it. For a moment, she imagined herself as one of the princesses from the tales her father told her, living in opulence and adored by the people.
The hotel would often lend out their performers for a free concert in the plaza. Anladet's family caught the show that day, watching with rapt attention as they ate their shaved ice with strawberry syrup. Women with scandalously tight clothing performed feats of balance, standing on tiny poles held by men below. They made pyramids and towers with each other, no one dropping or falling the entire time. A band performed during their show, the music suspenseful then triumphant. They played music that made Anla's mother weep at times. It evoked emotions Anladet couldn't even describe, something close to being at one with everyone or flying in the sky searching for a long lost child. A dance performance ended the show on a high note, her heart soaring after they bowed at the end.
They ate a dinner later in their hotel and filled their bellies with fish and seafood of all kinds. Their father was called out of the servant's area to help the children shell the crustaceans and mollusks set in the middle of the table.
This day didn't quite match the pure happiness Anladet had experienced the day before, but it was second best. She loved this town, its people, and its ingenuity. She didn't want to leave.

At the risk of sounding a little too pleased with myself, I am so very proud of this particular stroke of genius!
Firstly, I do believe I have found the world's best chocolate muffin recipe (yes, really). Thanks once again to Dorie and her amazing substitution ideas combined with the unfaltering user-friendly recipes from Leiths Baking Bible I have discovered what just might be the perfect combination of liquids to use when baking (see recipe).
Secondly, check out the funky packaging!!!
Now, I'm not claiming to be the first person to have thought of transporting mini-muffins in an egg carton. In fact, I'd be quite surprised if no one's thought of it before! BUT, I am nonetheless pleased with my clever discovery.
Triple Chocolate Muffins (adapted from Leiths Baking Bible)
285g self-raising flour
55g cocoa powder
225g soft light brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
85g butter, melted
175ml evaporated milk
100ml buttermilk
55g white chocolate chips
55g dark chocolate chips
85g milk chocolate chips
1. Heat oven to 180C
2. Combine flour, cocoa and sugar and whisk to combine
3. Combine egg, butter and both milks in a jug and add to the dry ingredients, mixing carefully.
4. Add chocolate chips and mix well.
5. Spoon into muffin cases and bake for 20-25 minutes (15 minutes if baking mini-muffins)
6. Cool on wire rack and enjoy!
Makes 12 muffins plus 12 mini muffins, or 36 minis, or 18 muffins, or 6-10 jumbo muffins or one really, really big muffin. Mmmmm….. giant muffin……
Note: The evaporated milk may be substituted for milk and buttermilk for soured cream (as was in the original recipe), but I do find that the evaporated milk made the mix extremely creamy with a lovely, sticky mouth-feel, while the buttermilk gave it a fairly light crumb. Mix and match to figure out what suits you!

Identity theft prevention is important, and the crime is becoming increasingly more common as our world becomes more and more networked.
Here are some tips to protect yourself from being a victim.
- Never give your social security number or confidential information to anyone who calls you.
- Don't carry your social security number with you – it's best to memorize your number.
- Shred or tear up receipts, old bank statements, and unused credit card offers.
- Do not mail bill payments from your mailbox. Thieves may use the check data or alter the check, or steal your credit card information.
- Review your credit rating annually by ordering a free credit report once a year. Only use www.annualcreditreport.com as this is the only service authorized by the three nationwide credit reporting agencies for the purpose of monitoring your credit file.
- Do not carry any login or PIN information with you – it is best to memorize it.
- Report suspected fraud immediately.
Surely there are many more ways to protect yourself, but these suggestions are some key ways to avoid being a victim.

Settlement patterns in the Appalachian regions were originally constrained by the dominant topographic features of the areas such as stream, mountains and valleys. Primarily for transportation and agricultural purposes, communities settled along rivers and within valleys.
Appalachia had the largest percentage of self-sufficient farms in the United States from the early 1800s to the early 1900s, and as late as the 1930s Appalachia had the highest concentration of low--income farms.
Industrialization, via coal, the railroads and other industries, transformed the society and economy of Appalachia following the Civil War.
Immigrants played a big part in both the development of the industry and the ensuing labor struggles. Right off the boat from Europe, immigrants provided cheap labor for the coal bosses.
The industrialization period from the 1870s to the 1920s, basically from the Reconstruction era through World War I, saw the metropolitan areas of America send workers of all ethnic types into Appalachia.
Salt and iron were among the first industries in the era, and they contributed to the development of the coal industry: coal was used to fire the salt brines in the early nineteenth century and after the salt industry declined, coal mining took it place.
Approximately 152 million tons of coal were produced from 1,369 surface mines in Appalachia during 1985.
In 2009, West Virginia accounted for about 43 percent of the surface coal mining production in Appalachia.

On my bookshelf lately...
"Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones" (Proverbs 16:24, NIV).
Unglued, by Lysa Terkeurst, has truly been hitting some nerves with me (in a good way!). It speaks to the rawest moments in my life, the times i lose my cool with my daughter, my friends, my husband, and even that poor check-out girl at the grocery store. Terkeurst encourages us to come up with a game plan when we get into those tough places, so that God can shine more readily in our lives.
Unglued is the perfect phrase for how I've felt these past couple of weeks. My temper feels so short, my feelings so easily hurt, my words so quick and so cutting. Why do I feel so unglued? I don't precisely know. I could blame it on this person, or that situation, or a combination of everything at once, but that doesn't really seem to solve anything. I'm pretty sure what I need is a heart change. A reminder of where my focus should be.
My focus shouldn't be on that person or situation that has already wrecked my day, 10 minutes after I got out of bed. No, my focus should be up above, on Jesus, today and everyday.
One thing I've been consciously trying to change is my prayer/devo time. For months now I've wavered back and forth, sometimes being consistent, sometimes leaving it in the dust. I've been trying lately to set my alarm a little bit early. Sometimes I snooze, so I only have 5 minutes, other days I have 20 minutes, but the outcome is the same: a few early morning minutes with my Savior. That time in prayer and devotion has honestly helped. It's helping me to think about my words a bit more, and my reactions to those around me.
I'm looking forward to finishing TerKeurst's book over the next few days, and seeing what else she's had to say. I've been reading her blog for several years now, and really enjoy it. This partial-review of her book is my own initiative. I was not asked to do it and will not be compensated in any way. But if you get a chance, hop on over to www.ungluedbook.com to check out this great book, there's some helpful resources on the website as well, including a short quiz you can take.
Do you ever feel unglued? Where do you turn when you feel this way? What do you do?

Meet Joyce
Joyce has worked at Kneppelhout since the end of 2001. Following her training as a florist – during which time she discovered that it was not so much working with flowers that she liked, but rather having contact with clients – she made the transition into an office job.
Joyce and Kneppelhout
'My job is very varied: ranging from welcoming clients, either on the telephone or in reception, to organising and/or serving as hostess at events such as lectures and for similar occasions. I also perform activities related to PR & Marketing activities. Colleagues can approach me to arrange facility management matters as well.'
'I find pleasure in my work because I am able to "take people's worries away" and actually make a difference in their lives. For this reason, I am going to take part in coaching sessions in my free time to step up my social involvement. Afterwards I am planning to volunteer as a coach. I hope that I will then be able to help vulnerable fellow city dwellers to get their lives back on track and to (re)discover their own talents so that they can take an active part in society again.'

But I really don't want to harm the tree in any way so what is the smallest amount that you'd need? Also, once acquired how long would the piece of yew wood take to cure? If it's years then I guess it's a no go. Here's a couple of photos of the magnificent tree:
