08/26/2010 Article adapted from AVIANEWS
As far as the Swiss Air Force is concerned, there has been two options so far – the choice of new fighter aircraft or postponement thereof, the second alternative has been chosen. You will find hereafter the Avianews webmaster's analysis:
This is the Swiss Federal Council Message:
« However, given the current state of federal finances and priorities taken as a whole, the time of acquisition is postponed to no later than 2015. The Federal Council decided on the proposal of DDPS (Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sports) to postpone the replacement of 54 obsolete combat aircraft F-5 Tiger Air Force. The Head of the DDPS, Ueli Maurer held a news conference on the postponement which is expected to last at most until 2015. The Federal Department of Finance and the DDPS together confirm by the end of 2011 the conditions for an acquisition during the second half of the decade. »
The reasons for non selection:
First, this is an organizational problem from the financial organization of Armée XXI. Remember, the people had voted for the new military organization with a comfortable 70% « yes »! id est a military downsized with a budget of only 4.3 billion Swiss Francs now. However, the parliament has never put forward this budget that painfully reaches 3.6 billion. The Swiss People is reportedly disappointed by such loss of income, and deception as well.
No F-5 replacement:
Replacing the F-5 is out of the question anymore but to get prepared for the next generation of F/A-18 from 2025. Consequently, there is more urgency to acquire a large number of aircraft as a whole block but split into several ones.
The losers in this case are the Swiss industry and jobs. Indeed, if the cost of a fighter plane is expensive, the returns on partnerships to « Offsets » were significantly higher and would have revitalized both the Swiss manufacturing industry and employment.
The three companies will meet in a few years for a new offer and therefore cannot comment on this « no choice »!
Dassault must be disappointed for they would certainly have won the contract with his Rafale. The version of the Rafale-04T was proposed with more powerful engines, the wiring for the METEOR missile, the new targeting pod Damocles XF and the brand new IDM (Improved Data Modem).
It bodes well for Saab because they now may complete the Swedish version of the Gripen E / F (NG), whose development is not completed yet and find a buyer with the Swedish Air Force (SwAF). Indeed, it must order the Gripen E / F by 2015.
EADS Eurofighter will be able to finalize its AESA E-scan radar and they are likely to reduce maintenance costs of the aircraft as promised this summer to the Switzerland Economy Minister Doris Leuthard at the ILA Berlin Airshow.
… To be continued …

Strange as it may seem, the French have not managed to export Rafale fighter aircraft so far… However, the Rafale has been deemed to be an excellent fighter aircraft so many times – formidable in dogfighting, awesome when it strikes, and its superb CATIA-designed streamlining turns it into a feline grace nonetheless redoubtable whenever it is to be challenged in the skies.
There have already been rumours such as:
– Rafales – thanks to its RCS (Radar Cross Section) – would have beaten F/A-18s Hornet.
– After several dogfights reported between the Rafale and the Raptor, ( Rafale vs F-22 Raptor: 1 – 1 , according to the rumours ) BVR engagement exercises would have been cancelled. Another version deems that F-22s never took part in such exercises, so what did they do there at that time? Sightseeing? Not to mention the F-22's withdrawal at the Paris Air Show 2009…
– The Rafale was onboard American CVs (aircraft carriers) in 2007, 2008, and 2009. The rumour in forums spread about American fighter aircraft that could not stand the Rafales' level of performance during exercises.
But who knows, actually? However, some other elements have also been reported. They do not come from forums or blogs. So, can they be called « rumours »?
For instance, I still remember an article from The New York Times dated July 16th 2006. It was reported that the Rafales could outfly F-15, F-16 and F-18 opponents in dogfights. They also won against F-15s and Eurofighter Typhoons in technical and performance evaluations . The American media paid tribute to the French jet but almost nobody knew that in France at that time. How bizarre… Well, it must be admitted that there is a curious fad in France that consists in criticizing everything that works.
Remember, according to French TF1 channel in 2008… This was the balance sheet:
Moreover, the former Red Arrows team leader – Peter Collins – stated last month that it should be done justice to this aircraft for the Rafale would be according to him – as he had just flown a standard F3 Rafale – a « war-fighter par excellence ». He added that he deemed the Rafale to be the best and most complete combat aircraft that he had ever flown. He concluded in saying that if he had to go into combat, on any mission, against anyone, he would, without question, choose the Rafale.
Last but not least, the French Rafales would have slammed – if I may put it this way – the other aircraft in an exercise in the UAE – United Arab Emirates. Even the F-22 Raptor – though 5th generation fighter – could hardly do anything to « tame » this tough challenger. According to Jean-Marc Tanguy's information, defence journalist, the balance sheet lies in the figures hereafter:
Dogfighting (with Rafale weapons system's performance lowered on purpose):
Dogfighting with further Rafale weapons system reduction:
Final balance sheet (in both scenarii the Rafales did not have full weapons systems…):
Not to mention Rafales outperform F-16CJs in targeting while in air-to-air and ground attacks thanks to the Rafale's FSO – Front Sector Optronic.
I read from a remarkable Swiss aviation specialist's website: AVIA NEWS. Pascal – AVIA NEWS webmaster – let me quote his analysis according to which the Rafale obtained the best score (95%) among the fighter aircraft evaluated for choosing which will replace the Swiss Air Force's F-5 Tiger. The other two competitors were the SAAB JAS-39 Gripen, and the Eurofighter / Typhoon.
Furthermore, the Dutch did compare various fighter aircraft in 2002. Who remembers? The RNLAF – the Royal Netherlands Air Force – carried out this study and the balance sheet came out in the Dutch press:
Eurofighter = 5.83
F-16 Block 60 = 5.80
Well, we must admit that the JSF / F-35 Lightning II is the best fighter among those that were assessed. However it was a close shave, wasn't it?
You will find an excerpt below of Jean-Marc Tanguy's post from his blog « Le Mamouth« :
La première confrontation engageant quatre Rafale contre quatre Typhoon s'est terminée par un 4-0 en faveur des Français. Malgré, explique-t-on, l'emport d'un armement air-air fictivement dégradé. Après avoir un peu dégradé encore l'armement, le Rafale l'a encore emporté, 3-1.
Le Rafale a été confronté au F22 lors d'un vol, mais dans un cadre limité au combat air-air à vue. Il n'aurait été dans le collimateur du chasseur américain qu' à une reprise, explique t-on aussi. CLIQUEZ ICI pour lire L'ARTICLE ENTIER en français

When The Social Network came out nine years ago, the subject of the film — Facebook co-founder and frontman Mark Zuckerberg — claimed it was mostly fiction. Maybe what he meant was it was, if anything, too nice? The movie, directed by David Fincher and written by Aaron Sorkin, merely depicted Zuckerberg as an odious creep who screwed business partners and was obsessed with Rooney Mara. How could Sorkin know he would play a key part in the collapse of democracy?
So maybe it's time for a Mulligan — or at least a sequel. Sorkin seems to think so. In a new interview with AP Entertainment (via The Hollywood Reporter), the ever-verbose writer (and now director, too) floated the idea of getting into the franchise business, albeit with a genuinely good idea for a franchise.
"First of all, I know a lot more about Facebook in 2005 than I do in 2018 — but, I know enough to know that there should be a sequel," Sorkin said. Apparently producer Scott Rudin first had the idea. "I've gotten more than one email from him with an article attached saying, 'Isn't it time for a sequel?" He added, "A lot of very interesting, dramatic stuff has happened since the movie ends with settling the lawsuit from the Winklevoss twins and Eduardo Saverin." Verily.

#VeryFakeNewsCNN is attempting to paint President Trump as some sort of bogey-man simply because, after months of being accosted by CNN's White House Correspondent, Jim Acosta, Trump refuses to abandon his rhetoric about the very low-ratings network being fake news.
Should Americans who actually support our President, be forced to watch the network at every major airport? Should we be forced to have to watch what amounts to a cage match every time President Trump or Press Secretary Sarah Sanders has a serious press conference and calls on CNN's Jim Acosta? If Americans really believed the anti-Trump drivel the rabidly leftist hosts espoused to their viewers 24/7, would Sponge Bob Square Pants be beating them in ratings?
Last year, CNN President Jeff Zucker, who is no fan of President Trump, admitted to the New York Times that the idea that they approach politics as a "sport" is "undeniable". During his interview with the far-left publication, Zucker compared CNN to ESPN in their approach to serious news, claiming CNN "understood" ESPN's confrontational on-air approach, and explained they have adopted the same approach as ESPN when it comes to presenting "news" to the world.
When CNN is called out for essentially placing a target on the back of President Trump, his administration, and even his supporters, with their wild and unprofessional on-air claims, they have the audacity to suggest, that somehow, President Trump is making the media unsafe.
"Free Tommy Robinson" called out CNN for their shameful hypocrisy. Reminding everyone of the disdain hosts on CNN have for Trump and his supporters:
#CNN promotes racial violence every day. @Acosta's network has instigated attacks on conservatives for years. No problem when it's one of us bucktoothed, smelly Trump supporters who is attacked. But God help us if a morally superior media hack feel unsafe. #safespace
"FreeTommyRobinson" included a hilarious video with his tweet of Jim Acosta whining about the hostile environment he created by his unrelenting, and unfair attacks on President Trump and his attempts to paint his supporters as unhinged.

Only two months ago, CNN host Chris Cillizza deleted a tweet after he was publicly shamed that included an image of President Trump with crosshairs over his face.
Chris Cillizza, a political analyst for CNN, deleted a tweet he sent out Tuesday that included an image appearing to show President Trump in crosshairs.
In a separate tweet, Cillizza said the graphic was unintended and the result of a computer program he and his team used.
"I've deleted a GIF about President Trump," he wrote. "We use @GifGrabber to make our GIFs and it defaults to the image below as a first frame. To clear up any unintended confusion, I've removed the tweet."

After Donald Trump Jr.'s wife, Vanessa received a package in the mail at their home, that contained a suspicious white powder, thought to possibly be a life-threatening substance, liberals took to social media to applaud the crime, suggesting they wish that Donald Jr. would have been the recipient:
CNN News Years Eve host Kathy Griffin was eventually fired by the network, after being blasted on social media for holding up a bloodied, severed head of President Trump in front of the cameras, as part of her comedy routine.
When is the last time Jim Acosta reported about the danger everyday Americans suffered at the hands of anti-Trump leftists who are constantly being whipped into a state of hate and anger 24/7, by CNN's unfounded attacks on our President?
Watch the hate and verbal attacks against President Trump, that are put out by the left every day by so-called journalists on the networks who are now attempting to blame President Trump for inciting violence against the media.
To date, there hasn't been a single event where the media has been threatened or harmed by a Trump supporter, yet there are MULTIPLE instances of violence, threats and or crimes against President Trump, his supporters, and GOP lawmakers.
Today, the Washington Examiner is reporting that 2 men have been arrested in connection with death threats against 3 GOP lawmakers
Police arrested two men in connection to death threats made against three Republicans members of Congress.
One of the men law enforcement officers arrested is Carlos Bayon of Grand Island, N.Y., on Wednesday after they connected him to threatening voicemails made to Republican Reps. Steve Scalise of Louisiana and Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington.
He added that his agents found evidence in Bayon's home suggesting the 63-year-old defendant's phone calls were not idle threats.
Scalise's office reported receiving a threatening voicemail on June 30. Bayon, 63, allegedly threatened retaliation for the White House's immigration policies. Here's a transcript of the voicemail via the criminal complaint filed July 31:
Hey listen, this message is for you and the people that sent you there. You are taking ours, we are taking yours. Anytime, anywhere. We know where they are. We are not going to feed them sandwiches, we are going to feed them lead. Make no mistake you will pay. Ojo porojo,diente por diente (an "eye for an eye" in Spanish). That is our law and we are the majority. Have a good day.
Fortunately, through some good detective work, the identity of Carlos Bayon revealed. He was apprehended and arrested.
At a rally on June 23, 2018, Maxine Waters whipped a crowd of her supporters into a frenzy, as she called for them to take action against President Trump and his supporters:
"History will record while he tried to step on all of us, we kicked him in his rear and step on him."
"Already, you have members of your cabinet that are being booed out of restaurants…who have protesters taking up at their house, who say, 'No peace, no sleep… No peace, no sleep'"
"And so, let's stay the course…Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up and if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere,"
"Mr. President, we will see you every day, every hour of the day, everywhere that we are to let you know you cannot get away with this!"
In November 2016, Senator Rand Paul was attacked by his neighbor. The unprovoked attack by his neighbor Rene Boucher, an anesthesiologist and a Democrat, sent Paul to the hospital with 5 broken ribs and lung contusions. Paul is still recovering from the attack.
After Steve Scalise was shot several times by an unhinged Democrat while practicing with fellow members of Congress for a friendly softball game between Democrats and Republican lawmakers, MSNBC's Joy Reid discussed reasons why Democrats might hate the critically wounded GOP Representative:
Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise is still hospitalized in critical condition but liberal MSNBC host Joy Ann Reid didn't let that stop her from portraying Scalise as an extremist just three days after an angry left-winger shot Scalise and tried to assassinate dozens of Republican congressmen in Alexandria, Virginia on Wednesday.
Reid: "There's a whole country out there and a lot of people, at least in my Twitter timeline, and it's a delicate thing, because everybody is wishing the congressman well and hoping that he recovers, but Steve Scalise has a history that we've all been forced to sort of ignore on race. He did come to leadership after some controversy over attending a white nationalist event, which he says he didn't know what it was."
"He also co-sponsored a bill to amend the Constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman. He co-sponsored the House healthcare bill, which as you said would gut healthcare for millions of people including three million children and he cosponsored a bill to repeal the ban on semiautomatic weapons."
Just this week, it was announced that San Jose police officers would be forced to appear in court for their part in steering Trump supporters into a violent mob of anti-Trump thugs, following a Trump rally.
Attorney Harmeet K. Dhillon appeared on the Tucker Carlson show tonight to discuss her case against the San Jose Police Department, who Dillon claims sent 20 Trump supporters directly into a mob of violent anti-Trump rioters following a Trump rally when they should have protected them. Dhillon shared her news that the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit will not allow the police officers to seek immunity in the case.
The 20 Trump supporters who Dhillon is defending, were beaten and bloodied by the violent San Jose, CA mob who kicked in cars, carried Mexican flags, chased down and beat Trump supporters. Harmeet Dhillon claims they threw eggs and hit supporters in the backs of their heads with bags of rocks. She also claims that elderly people were attacked, while others were sucker punched as they tried to walk to their vehicles. The video shows the angry mob kicking and attacking vehicles as the Trump supporters attempted to leave the mob scene.
Thank you @TuckerCarlson for inviting me to your show to discuss the recent 9th Circuit ruling in favor of my @dhillonlaw clients suing San Jose in a federal civil rights lawsuit stemming from police conduct of forcing Trump supporters to walk through a riot after a Trump rally: pic.twitter.com/eqGlSrBdWJ

"Al Bedo" sums it up with this tweet, where he explains the real reason CNN and the media are accusing Trump and his supporters of making the media "unsafe":
Think about what CNN and the media are doing. They are making it unsafe to exercise our Constitutional right to free speech and peaceful assembly. They are trying to keep people from communicating politically. The only safe place is a POTUS rally w/ Secret Service watching.

Former Perth retailer Ashley Heuchan (Plaza Cameras) has quietly collected over 1000 fine examples of the camera manufacturers' craft in his 50 years in the industry, and is selling them online, starting today, December 1.
For a while they were on display in his Murray Street, Perth business but space became a problem and he retired from the business, so they went into storage for years.
'Even now, as I go through hundreds of boxes, I am amazed at what I find,' said Ashley.
'Digital and mobile phone cameras are great, but there is a magic about film, processing and the incredibly engineered cameras that used them that is hard to describe.'
There will be several auctions to clear the entire collection. The first – with 56 items up for sale – starts today and ends on Tuesday, December 12. Prospective buyers need to register to bid at auction.
Recent auction sales of rare Leicas and Nikons have seen exceptional models go for between $1 and $2 million! While there may not be any lots reaching those heady heights – (most models have reserve prices set at three- rather than four-figure sums) there certainly are some rare and fascinating film cameras in The Ashley Heuchan Rare Camera Collection.
Most items in this first auction are premium cameras and lenses from Leica, Voigtlander, Rolleiflex, Zeis, Canon and Nikon, with a few more exotic pieces such as stereo cameras from the 1950s and even a spy camera from the Cold War – a Riken (now Ricoh) miniaturised 16mm still film camera – useful for all manner of discrete enquiries.

A leading Dundee charity has been forced to axe its advice and support service for prostitutes due to a lack of funding.
Vice Versa works in partnership with Dundee and Angus Women's Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre (WRASAC) to promote the health, rights and dignity of sex workers.
The group, which has been based in Dundee for about 10 years, will close its doors on December 31.
Sinead Daly, of WRASAC, said it was really disappointing news.
She said: "Sadly, we will be forced to end the Vice Versa service at the end of the year because there is no further funding for us.
"This is devastating news. Vice Versa is used by many women in Dundee who are forced to turn to prostitution.
"We are currently working hard to ensure some sort of support for city prostitutes will be re-established but it could be several months before this can happen.
"Dundee City Council and NHS Tayside are involved in this but WRASAC will be bidding to be able to continue to work with the women. We are very concerned that, once we close, there will be a gap in the service."
She added: "Many women are forced to turn to prostitution because of other issues in their lives, including substance addiction, homelessness and unemployment. There is a massive stigma attached to working in prostitution and not many places for these women to turn to."
The charity supported 126 women involved in prostitution between April 2015 and March this year.
Of these, 69 had problematic drug issues, 36 had experienced homelessness, 12 had children in the care of social work, 33 were experiencing domestic abuse, 24 had been sexually exploited when they were a child or young person, and 21 had been raped.
A Dundee Health and Social Care Partnership spokesman said: "As part of the work to restructure substance misuse services, we are developing ways of delivering care and support from different localities in Dundee through multi-agency teams.
"The new model would involve providing direct help and support near to where they live for women who are involved in prostitution and substance misuse. In the meantime, substance misuse services are available through the current model.
"In addition, the Dundee Violence Against Women Partnership is actively supporting the development of future models of provision for women involved in prostitution."

A Little Humor and Personalization Go a Long Way
Actually, I really enjoyed my interaction with the cashier, Kirkland. Yes that's his real name — and for those of you who don't shop at Costco — many of the items they sell are Kirkland brand.
A little humor
I just had to ask:
Me: "So is your name really Kirkland?"
Kirkland: "Actually it's Kirk but everyone here calls me Kirkland."
Me: "That's awesome. Such a fitting nickname."
Kirkland: "I used to go by Captain Kirk but then non-trekkies asked me what branch of the military I was in and so Kirkland it was."
Me: "Haha"
That was a fun dialog that didn't take much and made the experience a whole lot better. Let's look at a couple reasons it was fun:
- Rather than responding to my question with a simple yes or no, Kirkland dared to have a dialog with me.
- He allowed his personality and sense of humor to shine through, having a little fun with his customers. Clearly he's proud to work at Costco.
A little personalization
And now it was Kirkland's turn to ask the questions:
Kirkland: "What kind of dog do you have?"
Me: "We just got a puppy. He's a lab husky mix."
Kirkland: "Oh wow. That's gonna be a big dog."
Me: "Yeah and these bags are really important." (For obvious reasons)
Kirkland: "Indeed they are." (As he explains their use to one of his colleagues)
This whole interaction worked for a couple reasons:
- He took a cue from my order, the waste bags, and personalized the conversation. I'm glad we talked about my new puppy and not the stretchy khakis.
- Kirkland took an interest in something that's important to me. Some topics are off limits (like stretchy khakis) but pets are generally safe.
While some level of personalization is almost always necessary, humor requires a level of sensitivity to the customer and the situation. Some customers just want to get their issues solved and to get on with their life.
In my case, asking about his name was Kirkland's cue that I was interested in having a conversation. And like so many great customer service professionals, he recognized that this was an opportunity to inject a little humor and personalize his approach. Come to think of it, that's precisely why my most recent experience at Costco was a magical one.

DeMarcus Ware and the Dallas Cowboys are changing the game, and it goes well beyond the football field, where he leads the NFL with 15 sacks.
The Cowboys linebacker is one of - if not the - first athlete on a professional team to hold a Google+ Hangout with his fans.
In case you're unaware, the hangout is basically a group video chat for up to 10 people.
The Cowboys star and his fans took part in an intimate question and answer session, giving people an opportunity to speak directly with Ware.
It's definitely a novel idea in this lockout age for fans feeling disconnected from the athletes they follow.
Hopefully other organizations will take note and take advantage of this opportunity.

We are a society that has developed the habit of tracking a lot of our behaviors. We write down what we eat. We track our weight as we step on the scale each day. We write down our workouts; every little mile we run, weight we lift, and rep we do. We track how many times someone wrongs us. We even track the stuff we think about and want to do, really!!!! How many to do lists do you have right now? How many vision boards or lists of goals are you keeping track of?
What if we tracked what mattered? I mean the way we treat people! Write down how many times a day you speak harshly to or about someone. Write down how many times you have jealous thoughts or feelings about another person's success. How many times a day do you complain? How many times a day do you make another person's problem, conversation or actions about you?
Consider that if we started tracking how we treated other people, we would change those behaviors. Our lists would start to fill up with how many times we help someone, show empathy and compassion, congratulate someone or simply tell them thank your or you love them. Maybe some of that other stuff we track would not seem so significant?

Featured Creatives
January 2014
We chat to the fine gentleman behind our favourite personal project right now, The Golden Sans Project. Andrew is a mega talented freelance designer and ticks both lifestyle and work boxes by residing on the sunny Gold Coast. Nice one!
Tell us about yourself - where you live, what you do and what inspired you to pursue a creative career?
I'm currently a Gold Coast based freelance creative. I was brought up in the construction industry and first studied a Bachelor of Built Environment in Landscape Architecture. While working at tract they went through an extensive re-brand by Garry Emery and I was absolutely fascinated with the process... I quickly realised a much preferred inclination toward branding and went back to study at Design College Australia, then was accepted into News Ltd AWARD school.
After working with several studios over a few years including CRU Digital and TUSK Agency, I went full time freelance in August 2013 to free up time to pursue some personal projects.
Who have you worked for and with and which have been some of the highlights.
Working with several studios, I was exposed to some of Queenslands largest companies including Arrow Energy to help define them as one of Queensland's premier CSG companies, positioning the Gold Coast SUNS, and turning The Golden Sans Project into a reality.
Tell us about your most recent project, Golden Sans.
The Golden Sans Project initially started as an instagram based blog which quickly developed into a full image-based research project documenting residential and urban type which has forged the identity of the Gold Coast. Type which has stood the test of time; type which has forged the identity of the Gold Coast, and type which is eternally etched into the memories of anyone who has spent time on the Gold Coast. Hotel, motel and residential signage form the visual representation of The Golden Sans Project, and pay homage to the heritage of the city.
Into the 3rd year of the project, I have a show / installation planned at stthomasstudio.com.au from March 13 - 23 2014 as part of the bleachfestival.com.au.
Name your top 5 typefaces for 2014.
I'm always on the search for new typefaces that are well thought and generally clean. I'm yet to find one that has really captured me early in 2014, something less screamy and more story telling, and flat (project pending). Im also fascinated with original brush type (interested to see the progression from what was a big year in hand lettering. Just no more chalk please) and generative typography.
Whats on the cards in the next 6 months?
An exhibition for The Golden Sans Project in March, developing some GSP Products, and a new publication with some creative partners.
What advice would you give students starting out?
Work really really hard, make connections, absorb everything, keep learning, keep experimenting, get fired, stretch, purchase a battery charger, cover your mac products if you live near the coast, go to the nursery, spend more time outside then in, don't be easily offended, have non design specific related experiences and find your passion project.
Who are your top 5 creative people in the Australian design scene who inspire you?
I don't have specific people, but collectives and studios that inspire me. Top 5.

Woah! What a month!
February has been full of ups and downs and so many surprises!
So let me start from the beginning - a few of you may know about my recent passions but for those of you who don't - I've been an avid lover of film photography for a while now - one of my goals and resolutions for 2017 is to dive head first into shooting film and become a hybrid photographer. What is that you may ask? It's just a fancy way to say that I want to shoot digital and analog together. Well...a few weeks ago i took the plunge! I'm going to Milan to my first ever film photography workshop - three days of inspirational beauty and learning! I am kinda proud of myself. You might ask: how do you attend a film course when you only shoot digital? Well, a week ago I also purchased my first professional film camera and film rolls - it did get me thinking what I got myself into - but I don't regret it for a second! More so - I am in love with my new baby! It gives me an extra pep in my step (no it's not the weight of the camera, I promise), and it keeps me that much more excited for my march trip! But I'm getting way ahead of myself - so let me rewind to the first week of February when I held my first boudoir marathon - another decision I dived into. It's been on my mind for a year now because I just felt like people around me weren't getting to experience the beauty of boudoir the way it is meant to be. I've seen galleries, I've heard stories, and I saw it with m own eyes, what is out there in this market wasn't anywhere near how I imagined it to be so I figured I had something to offer. And what a success it was! What a great time we all had! Such beautiful women - inside and out -came to my studio and I never had to have them wear less to show more - we showed as much as they were comfortable with and it was simply beautiful! I am in love with each one of my clients!
They opened up to me in such amazing ways and I am so incredibly proud of them! Doing this with them definitely got me thinking about what I would like to be doing in the future and what areas of photography I would like to focus on.
But it wasn't just boudoir that I have been up to. I got to work with some amazing moms this month and I got to capture the true love of a mother. Be it love for a newborn baby or a big 9 months old almost-toddler - it is always amazing to capture the unique connection that only mother and a child can have. I would like to dedicate separate posts to each one of my recent moms so look out for them.
Of course this wasn't all I did this month. I got to shoot a gorgeous wedding, and a beautiful girl who celebrated her 25th birthday by letting me take her portraits. I had the most amazing time and all of that in the span of 4 days! Can I just say I feel so blessed?! But this isn't everything still! I finally got to meet another fellow photographer (heard a lot about her for the past year) and she is a sweetheart for sure. I absolutely cannot get enough of meeting creative people and being inspired by them and through them! That is the beauty of my profession - I am not alone and being able to share the craft I love so much is beyond words!

Rava kesari is an easy to make Indian sweet. It is made in South India as a breakfast item in Karnataka, accompanied by uppittu. In Kerala, where I hail from, we have it as a desert. I often make this at home, especially when we have an impromptu guest and they love it. Try it at home and let me know how you liked it.
Recipe: Rava Kesari serves 6
Ingredients Rava or semolina 1 cup Saffron couple of strands Sugar 1 cup Water 1 1/2 cup Cashewnuts 2 tbsp Raisins 2 tbsp Ghee 2 tbsp
Dry roast the semolina and keep aside. In 1 tsp of ghee, roast the cashewnuts and raisins and keep aside. Boil water and add the saffron.

Pour in the ghee and mix in the cashewnuts and raisins. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Ifyou're the type of "vegetarian" who actually tucks into the occasional chickenleg, you're not likely to need extra care. But if you truly do not eat animalproducts, you'll have to work a bit harder to get enough good stuff for yourbaby and yourself. Even if you do eat5 dairy, don't assume that is the wholeanswer.
Vegetarian diets tend to be lower in protein,iron, calcium, zinc, and vitamin B12, B2 and D. Serious nutrient deficienciescould have an impact on your baby's development.
Ironintake is often the biggest problem. Plant sources of iron like potatoes, driedfruit, dark green vegetables and beans should be included in your diet on adaily basis. Combining iron-rich foods with foods rich in vitamin C can enhanceiron absorption.
So,when you eat spinach, drink a glass of orange or guava juice to ensure that theavailable iron is readily absorbed. Routine iron supplementation duringpregnancy is advisable for vegetarians, so chat to your doctor or midwife abouta suitable nutritional supplement.
Othernutrients to look out for if you're a preggie veggie:

In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. G Moon Chopper. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.

At INN, our core mission is to create sustainable, independent nonprofit news organizations — so we're fascinated by the many different approaches journalists are using to fund their work.
Lyra McKee of The Muckraker is writing a book about the 33 year old murder of Robert Bradford, a politician from Northern Ireland. In exchange for a donation, backers get access to the book as it's being written. We asked Lyra what she's learned about crowdfunding an investigative journalism project.
"If I could offer any advice on doing a crowdfunding campaign, it's – don't set a target you want, set the target you think you can get," says McKee. "It's not the be all and end all: you've got to look at it as part of a longer process of nurturing readers and bringing them into the fold. So if you even get just 100 readers backing you, that's great: provide them with something so awesome that all they go out and convince one friend to help you in some way. Then you'll have your '1,000 True Fans', as Kevin Kelly calls it."
McKee points out that we don't always know who our core supporters will be. "People will completely surprise you," she says. "It looks like I'm only going to get 100 readers all in all (out of 200) yet the 95 who have donated so far have generated nearly $3500 in donations, with $530 of that recurring monthly in the form of subscriptions. Often, it's the tiny audiences who contribute the most because they really, really love what you're doing or they're care about it. Always assume you're operating on a long tail and work really hard to nurture that audience: they are your evangelists. Don't sit in the ivory tower: go out and talk to them. I have coffee with my readers all the time. If I know them well enough, I give them sneak peaks of what I'm working on before it goes out. They're collaborators, as far as I'm concerned."
Brett Orzechowski of INN member news organization CT Mirror recently completed a crowdfunding campaign for a project on homeless children. He offers these tips: "We just finished one up for a homeless children project. We offered incentives but what also helped is that we had a funder who was willing to match what was raised before the launch of the campaign. This helped in two ways: 1) Name association – reputable, people recognized the stamp of approval; 2) Tapping into another network of like mind for the mission-driven reporting. The concept was distributed through their network. Strength is in numbers.
Orzechowski points out a key fact: even campaigns that fall short of the originally stated goal can still jumpstart a project: "We fell short of our goal, but reached what we needed to get the project off the ground."
Lyra's campaign is ongoing, and she needs to get 200 supporters before March 31. Even a small donation will help, so if you want to kick in $5 or more, click here.

Spilsbury evokes nostalgia for vanished life
Photos and Reminiscences of the BC Coast, by Jim Spilsbury, Harbour Publishing.
Coastal BC once spawned a way of life unlike anything else anywhere in the world. Tucked away in every bay and cove from Vancouver to the Alaska border were tiny clusters of houses perched on massive log floats, and on the shore nearby, a few hardy men, using a steam donkey and an A frame, gilchrist jacks and peavees, wrestled massive logs to the water.
Floating fish camps bought the plentiful ocean harvest from thousands of small fish, boats whose owners did not guess then that some day the plenty would peter out and complex electronic devices would be the only way to find fish.
Jim Spilsbury was part of this era. His two earlier books, Spilsbury's Coast and The Accidental Airline chronicled this story, and of the newest, Spilsbury's Album he says, "people got a big kick out of the photographs that went along with the stories first as they did and it wasn't long before I found myself talking to my publisher about a third book... that would give the photograph collection the kind of prominence it seemed to crave."
A talented amateur photographer, Spilsbury started taking pictures in 1922 when he went to work at a shingle bolt camp in Hofray Channel, using his father's old Brownie camera.
In the years since then he kept a photographic record of his own varied activities. "The great discovery of my later years has been that so many things which caught my eye along the long and meandering path which has been my life also strike a spark of interest in others."
Spilsbury's 'meandering path' sampled, and in man cases, created the Coast lifestyle. As a logger, he started as a 'knotter' and 'swamper' for 25 cents an hour and worked his way up to being a 'donkey puncher' at seven dollars a day for a nine hour day.
Introduced to radio by the radio operator when he worked on the steamship Robert Dollar in 1919, Spilsbury returned home to Savary Island and built one of the first crystal radio sets. His passion for radio grew, and over the years developed the familiar radio equipment that every fisherman and tugboat operator now takes for granted.
He saw radio as a solution to the isolation of the gyppo logging camps of the Coast. To better reach his customers in the camp, he moved his wife and young family aboard his first boat, the Five B R and traveled into all the bays and inlets, selling and servicing, the radios and other electronic equipment produced by Spilsbury and Hepburn (later Spilsbury and Tindall), his Vancouver company.
During the war, gas rationing prompted him to buy a plane.
"I could go much farther on a gallon of gas with a plane than I could with the boat," he said. The number of planes grew, and ultimately became Queen Charlotte Airlines, one of the first commercial airlines in BC.
Spilsbury was in Sechelt bookstores last week to autograph his books. As old acquaintances came by to reminisce, almost forgotton stories came to light. Airline pilot Ken Soroko was one of the first, followed by Muriel Daly, niece of Tom Fenner, the original owner of Spilsbury's boat Blithe Spirit, and then Reve Farish, fellow ham radio operator, and many other who had known Spilsbury, or the events he writes about.
Later, in an exclusive interview with the Coast News, this reporter, Howard White of Harbour Publishing, and Spilsbury continued to reminisce about the Coast of the 40's and 50's.
"Did you know Terry O'Connor?"...Ah yes, he married Bess Miller, and they lives in Port Neville...We spent a winter logging with their son Ken on Nigei Island in the early 50's"
"The old Indian village at Blunden Harbour has almost disappeared...When we were there in the late 60's, the carved posts of the long house were still standing."
"Do you remember the Lansdownes and the Hallidays in Kingcome Inlet?" And so on. Stories were swapped of remittance men, scions of England's finest families; the backbreaking toil of hopeful immigrants who tried (and often failed) to carve farms from BC's unforgiving wilderness; the ubiquitous loggers and their families who endured and thrived in appalling isolation; fishermen who harvested from open boats the still plentiful salmon but received a few cents each for their catch.
Spilsbury's books evoke nostalgia for a unique chapter of BC history. Fortunately, he was there with his camera to record it, and his memory is sharp and clear.
For those of us who were a part of that era, the memories evoked by Spilsbury's books are bittersweet. For those who know nothing of that time, there is the prospect of an intriguing glimpse into a lifestyle that has all but disappeared.

This is Spilsbury's third book dealing with his many years of living on the B.C. coast. This one covers the gamut of his colorful life from his youth around the time of World War I right up to the present. Unlike his earlier books, this one is lavishly illustrated with black-and-white photographs taken by him during his long life on the "frontier." These pictures serve all as almost a family album of his eventful sojourns as a pioneering spirit out west. Spilsbury first worked in lumber industry, then established a radio repair service (which he developed by the 1920s into Canada's leading exporter of radiotelephones). In 1943 he started Queen Charlotte Airlines, which by 1955 had become the third largest airline in Canada, and has since then been active mainly in tourist charter and pleasure cruising in the Interior Passage between Vancouver Island and the B.C. mainland.
As is checkered and successful career indicates, Spilsbury is a remarkable man: self-reliant, energetic, and not afraid of taking risks. His text reflects this somewhat roguish, buccaneering approach to life, a life that in many ways closely parallels the growth and development of British Columbia since World War I (many of the photographs also underline this connection).
Yet there is also a certain innocence about the text and the pictures. Both seem to reflect a simpler age ? an age when natural resources were seemingly unlimited, when the sky was the limit, when dynamic men like Spilsbury could build thriving businesses from extremely meagre initial financial resources.
Spilsbury has permitted the reader an intimate look at life on the B.C. coast through his eyes from the 1920s to the present. In doing so he has served up a genuine slice of Canadiana.

Out of the Past, Into the Future
BOOKS LIKE An Enterprising Life and Spilsbury's Album are "a-dime-a-dozen" this time of year. Usually this cliché refers to both quantity and quality; after all, it's Christmas and photo collections are deservedly popular. Closed, these two books look much like all the similar books in Victoria's bookstores, but open either and all ties vanish.
Both books prove the "dime" cliché wrong m very different ways. Cyril E. Leonoff, "a professional engineer and historian," has gathered more than 200 photos by Leonard Frank, one of British Columbia's foremost pioneer photographers, added a long introduction, and produced what his publisher is calling a first. "More than a biography of one of the world's most important industrial photographers, and more than simply a stunning collection of Frank's photos, the book "is a historical record of the age, seen through the eyes of a photographic pioneer without equal."
Strong talk and I won't deny a word of it. There isn't a photo in this book that isn't world class, nor is there one that isn't historically valuable. The publisher is also correct in saying that "in moving from small town to big city, and in tracking the exploding industrial 'progress' of the day, Frank's images reflect a change from the personal to the impersonal.
"In the isolated villages and work camps of Vancouver island, the towns people, native Indians, loggers, surveyors, miners and early entrepreneurs stand next to their work, an unconscious sense of individual accomplishment in their faces. But in the corporate and industrial photographs taken in Vancouver during the latter part of Frank's career, these faces are rarely to be seen."
This is all perfectly true, but when the publisher says, "Frank had an innate sense of 'history in the making,' and he was relentless in its pursuit," I beg to differ. Captions such as "Native Indian figures, northern B.C., undated," and "Picnic, Alberni, B.C., ca. 1909" suggest a rather cavalier attitude toward his subjects.
The photographs are important, artistically and historically, but they'd be much more important if we knew who the people in these pictures were, exactly where the photos were taken (Where is "Canoe Pass" in Barkley Sound?) and
One of Spilsbury's many pictures: Beached sealing schooner when they were taken. Circa igoo or 1905 or whenever is hardly concrete documentation.
When I read: "Earliest track-trailer unit, for use on railway tracks and planked roads, ca. 1920," or "Earliest chainsaw action - Bloedel, Stewart and Welch Ltd., Franklin River operation -Vancouver Island, 1941," I know Frank could not possibly have understood the importance of what he was photographing.
And I wonder, too, about the author's credentials as a historian. Of course the men are using an early version of what we now refer to as a "chain saw," but what did Frank call it in 1941? The phrase "chain saw" only dates back to 1944. Details make history interesting and books important.
An Enterprising Life is a dazzling gallery of photographs; too bad their historical testimony has yet to be recorded. For testimony and a sense of history, we must turn to Spilsbury's Album, a book that may be B.C.'s Book of the Year.
This book also offers up more than 200 photos, but instead of g about history and doing nothing about it, Jim Spilsbury gives us a guided tour of his world. And there are no "circas" or unidentified shots on this tour. Spilsbury, as will be guessed by anyone familiar with Spilsbury's Coast and Accidental Airline (both written with Howard White), is an intelligent and affable host.
Remembering his experience with a "very high-brow, avant-garde photographer," Spilsbury writes: "He had me photographing stepped-on crab shells, dead tree branches, and all kinds of strange stuff I never would have given a second thought. I couldn't see what he was getting at. I was more interested in making a record of what I saw, taking pictures to show people where I'd been. When I saw something new, or different, the first thing I would think was gee, better get a picture of that."
The Spilsbury family story begins in England and continues at Whonnock, on the Fraser, but the book's beginning is upcoast near Powell river. "Savary Island became my home in 1914, when I was nine years old. This was where I grew up, went to school, worked with my dad, learned to use tools, learned to hunt and fish, had my introduction to logging. In the process I met and got to know the motley collection of people who inhabited the coast in those days, ranging all the way from loggers, fishermen, and beachcombers to hermits, remittance men, stump ranchers, Greek scholars, writers, poets, artists, and, downright crooks.
"It was a community of people that surely was unique in the history of man, I had the good fortune to spend the next thirty years of my life with them." The hyperbole is quickly forgotten as image after unique image appears. Here's a true chronicle of a gone world - Rivers Inlet Cannery, the plank road leading out from Masset, Indians gambling during a potlatch at Quathiaski Cove, Gwayasdums, and more. All the phases of Spilsbury's long and fascinating career (leading exporter of radiotelephones, founder of Queen Charlotte Airlines, painter and photographer) are covering some , some of it hard to believe. The man's bigger than life. It's too bad that toward the end of the book the chapters grow choppy.
Some readers are liable to start jumping from photo to photo.
Those who do skip will miss some hilarious characters - Bill Baker the solitary logger tight-lining his donkey from hilltop to hilltop is pure coast and equally coastal experiences, such as fishing with dynamite. This is history, no cliches here; the past is alive and well in every one of these photos.
-Charles Lillard, Victoria-Times Colonist
Photo album makes trilogy
Jim Spilsbury has led a wonderful life.
Not idyllic by any means, but the kind of life that spawns adventure, yarns, or maybe a family TV series.
It has already filled two best-selling books, and now comes a third volume of reminiscences and photographs called Spilsbury's Album.
Born in 1905, Spilsbury spent his childhood on a Fraser River homestead and later a remote island in the Strait of Georgia 120 kilometres northwest of Vancouver.
He worked as a donkeyman, or steam-engine operator, in coastal logging camps before turning his radio hobby into a business that helped pioneer radio-telephone communication on the B.C. coast.
Plying coastal waters in a boat converted into a floating shop, Spilsbury sold radios in villages and small logging camps.
In 1944, Spilsbury bought a small plane to help him reach customers. By 1950 his Queen Charlotte Airlines was the third-largest carrier in Canada, but he was forced to sell out in 1955.
Spilsbury's radio manufacturing and sales business flourished until he retired, and along the way he helped set up a marine rescue service that predated the Canadian Coast Guard.
The thread that ties Spilsbury's full life together is a love of the B.C. coast and the people who've lived on it.
Great figures don't populate his first two books ? Spilsbury's Coast and The Accidental Airline - and they're absent from Spilsbury's Album. He writes about ordinary people living in what he still considers an extraordinary place.
The new book is a collection of Spilsbury's photographs another lifelong hobby - punctuated by bite-sized stories left over from the first two volumes.
But these leftovers make a succulent hash.
There's the story about how Spilsbury's parents honeymooned in an island cabin whose previous owner was murdered, or about Bill Baker who ran a one-man mechanized logging operation because "he said he was too miserable for anyone to live with, and that included women."
Or the time a logger friend found himself dangling upside-down near the top of a 53-metre tree while the fuse burned on a dynamite charge set to lop the top off.
The stories add dimension to the Spilsbury's radio manufacturing photos that range from prosaic family snaps to spectacular vistas and scenes of coastal life.
Spilsbury, who now lives in West Vancouver writes with some irony that his air transport and radio businesses helped erode life in the small communities he loved.
"It turned out I was simply part of a process that saw the coast slowly depopulated as people moved awake make their living in the cities," he writes.
Spilsbury writes lovingly of the past but he doesn't sugarcoat it.
His mother an early feminist, became stern and humorless after his father's gentry-class relatives in England felt the elder Spilsbury had married beneath his class.
Ashton Wilmot Spilsbury failed as a homesteader and the family moved to Savary Island, near Powell River. The Spilsburys lived in a big tent for 10 years, eating fish and game when it was available, hardtack biscuits when it wasn't.
"It was hard as plywood, impossible to bite through, but you could split it with a double-bitted axe," writes Spilsbury. "Once you'd split it you had to turn it over and tap the weevils out."
Spilsbury's story-telling style is matter-of-fact - some of it was spoken into a tape recorder. It has an honest, unembellished feel, yet his memory for detail, however mundane, brings the photo images richly to life.
-STEVE MERTL, The Canadian Press
Coastal travels, travails captured with quick clicks
All the while Jim Spilsbury was fishing and boating up and down the B.C. coast these past 70 years and, of course, building Queen Charlotte Airlines and a couple or three other businesses, he had a camera hanging around his neck and was snapping pictures.
Like a lot of other amateur photographers, Spilsbury would look at the pictures when they came back from the developer, then stick the negatives in a drawer. Unlike most amateurs, however, he put the negatives in an envelope first and carefully catalogued what he had photographed. They were all there when he wanted them for the books he got around to writing after he retired.
Spilsbury has culled some 200 black-and-White photos from 70 years of picture-taking for his third book, Spilsbury?s Album
His family's interest in photography began with his birth in England in 1905, Spilsbury said in an interview. His mother and father had emigrated to Canada before his birth, but headed home when his mother was pregnant "so I wouldn't be born in the colonies."
When his parents returned to Canada with him, they were given a Kodak folding bellows camera, a rather good instrument for the time, to record the growing up of the newborn.
When Spilsbury was 15, his father gave him the camera when he got his first job at a shingle-bolt camp (producing "bolts" of cedar shingles) on Homfray Channel, northwest of Powell River.
"I still have every picture I ever took," Spilsbury says. He used the photos to refresh his memory while writing his other books, Spilsbury's Coast and The Accidental Airline.
His publishers would not use all the photos he wanted to in the earlier books, so he asked them to publish the latest 'Album.'
It is a well-mixed collection running from early pictures of himself in his first bathtub, a converted horse trough, to the 38-kilogram halibut he caught fishing off Polkinghorne Island last summer.
Along with the pictures are more Spilsbury stories, because many of the photos reminded him of something, he says.
On page 149 is picture of a lineup of seventh Isetta automobiles. He and a friend bought the Western Canada franchise for the funny little cars with motorcycle engines that would run from Vancouver to New Westmister on a single litre of gas. They never quite caught on and he lost $65,000 on the venture, about half his profit for the sale of Queen Charlotte Airlines to Pacific Western Airlines.
There are also several photos of 'unorthodox landings' (which other airline presidents might refer to as crashes, it they referred to them at all.)
Crashes happen in the airline business, Spilsbury says. There were always investigations, so he made certain he got to them with his camera as quickly as possible, The old Kodak was a good camera, but it was unable to survive high tide after being left on a beach. Over the years, he's used a Zeiss Ikonta B, and a couple of Canons. Now he has a Canon AEl with a Kiron zoom lens and he is shooting mainly color.
The next book, which will include the result of another hobby begun in childhood, painting with pastels, is tentatively titled: Spilsbury's Coast of many Colors.

Spilsbury's Album: A last glimpse of worlds gone by
Lucky Jim Spilsbury. His father saved every letter his son wrote home.
"We found them when we cleaned out Dad's attic, in the last house he had in North Vancouver," author Spilsbury says.
"Years and years of my letters were all there, organized by date, bundled by year."
They were immensely helpful in writing his books. Business correspondence also helped.
"Jim writes the best business letters I've ever seen," says his wife Win.
Spilsbury and Hepburn later Spilsbury and Tindall, was located first at the foot of Cardero Street in Vancouver, then on Water Street. They manufactured the famous SBX-11 portable radio telephones and sold them all over the world.
The radio factories grew from Spilsbury's early efforts to make a living selling radio parts up and down the coast. 1922 marked the start of broadcasting, in the region. With a homebuilt set, the 17-year old Spilsbury picked up KPO in San Francisco. Word got around and everyone wanted a radio.
"People were so isolated. The demand just boomed."
Soon Spilsbury was selling and servicing radios and parts from a boat up and down the coast from Seymour Inlet to Howe Sound. He did it for 20 years, all the time writing letters to his father and his partners about the people and the villages, fisheries, logging camps and mining operations he visited regularly.
After radios came airplanes. Before lie quite knew what had happened, Spilsbury was running Queen Charlotte Airlines. Soon QCA was the third largest air transporter in Canada. In 1955, QCA was sold to Pacific Western for $1.4 million. Spilsbury returned to the radio business. He bought a boat, Blithe Spirit, and still travels a coast he calls "the best place in the world."
Today he lives with his wife Win on the cliffs near Horseshoe Bay.
The Spilsbury family is a historian's dream. Literate, artistic, adventurous and individualistic, the family wrote letters, photographed one another and their surroundings, sketched and painted, all with the casual aplomb of the dedicated hobbyist just as important, they saved it all.
Spilsbury's Album is a splendid record, through family photographs and stories from Jim Spilsbury's life, of a time on the coast when thousands of people lived in tiny settlements between Howe Sound and the north end of Vancouver Island.
Spilsbury's Album gives us a view of worlds gone by. The coast is now depopulated. The demise of the gyppo logger and the overfishing of the Strait of Georgia have ended a way of life that endured little more than 50 years. Another, more ancient, civilization disappeared with it. It's unlikely either will revive.

Where did the day go?
Everyday are we confronted by important tasks that we need to accomplish or important events that we need to attend to. It could be a presentation requested by your boss, a market study that you have to submit a week from now, a client meeting, your presence to your child's piano recital, doing your homework or just as simple as doing the groceries, paying the bills, having the car fixed and the list goes on. With a long list of things to do and with the need to tick all those one out the soonest time possible, we often catch ourselves in the middle of the tangle of these ought to be responsibilities. Moreover, at the end of the day, even after we tick all our written tasks out, we still find ourselves feeling unfulfilled and dissatisfied, leading us back to the question, "Where did the day go?".
18 Minutes by Peter Bregman tells us how to navigate through our day so that we could feel happier and more fulfilled at the end of it. Most of the time, management books out there will outline ways to cram all the things that we ought to do in a day but 18 Minutes, on the other hand, thinks its counterproductive because we really cannot do everything in a short span of time and it builds up bad feelings of incompetency and inadequacy when we are not able to do what we had set out to do. Even so, he's not suggesting that we only do the minimal but is instead encouraging us to establish our few, top priorities in which we could base our decisions from for the rest of the year.
Paralysis often hits us when the volume of tasks overwhelms us; and this is the reality of most. We load our to-do lists with these and that but we end up accomplishing none because the hugeness of the responsibility swamps us. It is true that either some of the tasks that we have on our list can be best delegated to another person who has the skill and inclination to work on it or that some of those tasks proves to be time-wasters, but since we human-beings are very accommodating (especially us, Filipinos), we blindly accept and still carry on with those.
Think the meeting you are scheduled to attend will just steal your time in finishing a more important project, then do not go. Phone rings while you are in the zone writing an essay for your English class, then do not answer it. You think that your colleague will be more apt to do a market study that has been delegated to you by your boss, then say so. An important and unexpected client meeting coincides with the birthday dinner of your daughter, then weigh which of the two matters more to you.
Slow down, pause and assess yourself and the things that are most important to you. Finding your focus is vital and that is the one thing that this book keeps reiterating on. Having priorities makes it easier for you to master distractions and decide whether to move ahead on a certain task or not. Moreover, keep your priorities few and manageable. The key here is to not do everything but to move forward.
Devise an everyday plan around your established priorities. Decide which of the tasks at hand deserve your utmost attention and if a task does not fall under your priorities, delay doing it or scrap it outright from your list. More importantly, reassess every now and then (every hour if you could!) your progress so that you could easily steer back to your pre-determined course when you had gone off-track or tweak your plan if it does not anymore serve you well.
If you are feeling out of focus and lost in a sea of opportunities and responsibilities, 18 Minutes will bring you back in. Bregman outlined beautifully in this book the steps you can take to maximize your potential to achieve things that will make you happy and successful; backed up with anecdotes that will entertain, and at the same time strike you.
A fulfilling day adds up to a fulfilling year. Let us make everyday as productive as ever so that if we look back at the end of each day, each year and life itself, we will be able to say "I used my time well".
I bought this book at Bibliarch.

A woman who fled to the safety of the United States decades ago, made a home here and is raising her American daughters in Stamford is now about to be tossed out, because the government still considers her a citizen of Guatemala.
Honestly, what's wrong with us?
Miriam Martinez-Lemus fled death threats during political strife in Guatemala in 1992 and crossed the border illegally in Arizona. She applied for asylum, as she was supposed to do, but was denied. She tried other ways of becoming a legal immigrant, including seeking out a green card — a process that could have taken 10 years — without success. So for the last five years, this wife and mother of two has been dutifully checking in with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and requesting "stays of removal" that prevent her from being deported.
This year, some spineless functionary declined the request.
Ms. Martinez-Lemus came to the United States to escape violence in Guatemala. She is not Donald Trump's "bad hombre." She is married to Raphael Benavides, and they have two daughters — Brianna, 12, and Alison, 10. Brianna has Type 1 diabetes, according to the family, and needs her mother nearby while Mr. Benavides commutes from Stamford to New York.
What good comes from sending this woman away from her family? What good comes from separating a mother from her daughters? How does this make America great?
Now she is in her house, with the full knowledge of ICE, waiting for a knock on the door and officials who would intentionally take her away from her family. For imagined sins.
If there were ever a case that showed that this nation needs a clear path to citizenship, this is it.

Mindful approach to asanas – Healing the whole of you
Focusing with intent in an asana is what assists the healing of chakras. You can do so many poses over and over again but when there is focus, a sense of peace and strength can evolve from within.
Upward facing Dog – Urdhava Mukha Svanasana opens the heart center and allows the respiratory and circulatory system to flow in balance. In this pose some of us tend to focus on catching the breath instead of feeling the breath of life flowing into the body, so instead of feeling the calm presence of universal energy we end up feeling like our heart is pumping like crazy and you want the pose to be over and done with. What we should be focusing on is breathing through the nose, into the head and all the way to the tips of your toes – 'ahhh bliss.' Learn to engage in asana mindfully and activate all levels of union with the mind and body. You will enjoy this more than partial engagement, you will also sweat more – creating inner heat/ fire. Physically feel the chakra spinning and unblock a load of locked up emotions, as well as activating the whole nervous system. Trust me it works, it may take you several attempts but you will get there in the end.
Wide legged forward bend – Prasarita Padottanassana strengthens the root and foundations of the body. Do it without activating your body starting from the legs and the asana will benefit only partially. Engage the legs, lock the knees and hinge forward from your hips and you will feel strong, allow the foundations or should I say skeletal structure of the body to feel strong from inside and the prana will flow deeply inside your osteons. The reward is always different when you fully engage your mind and body. So you will be opening the root, heart, third eye and crown chakra, as opposed to root and third eye only, which in turn would really mean your mind is engage but the physical body is not.
Try it with all your favourite asanas and feel the difference, when you approach yoga with mindfulness and open out a connection to the entire universe, you ground yourself and engage yourself into the true meaning of mindfulness and yoga. I guarantee you will love it and it will leave you feeling grateful from within.
Let there be love and light in your practice, feel 'your lightness of being.'
Love and light,
