Never Stop Exposing Abuse/
I once worked with a client whose physical health, as well as mental well-being, had been in decline throughout their entire adult life. As we worked through their crippling anxiety, long-term depression and extreme distrust, we eventually came to the root. As a child, they had been repeatedly raped and molested by their father and their father's friends. The realities of their abuse were sickening. Eventually, as a young child this client told their mother, who ignored it, and then their Sunday school teacher, who said it couldn't have really happened, and then their pastor, who told them they were just making things up. As this grown adult now told about their experiences, they told me their prayer as a child, which was simply that God would make it stop. Sadly, this story is quite common.
As I drove home I felt enraged and prayed something like, 'God, how could you let this go on? A little child begged you to make it stop? Where were you?' To which God replied 'I sent help. I sent the mother, and then the teacher, and then the pastor, and now you.' It still feels too little, too late, but this brought home a truth to me that I will forever carry. We must always call out abuse, expose it for what it is, and keep after it until the abused person is safe.
Recently the headlines have told story after horrid story of Harvey Weinstein, a Hollywood tycoon, who molested, groped and raped women in his industry. It has been right to hear people call his actions out for what they are, as well as calling out those who helped cover for him. Many of these folks associate themselves with 'conservatives' as they call this 'Hollywood liberal' to accountability. Earlier this year, after hearing Donald Trump brag about his propensity for sexually assaulting women, and then seeing testimony after testimony of women accusing him of abuse over the past few decades, many who associate on the 'left' cried foul and asked for some sort of justice or accountability.
I hope you have spoken out against both, but I want you to know that you should feel the same sense of violation and disgust at any and all incidences of abuse. There is no favoritism shown in the Kingdom, either to an abuser who holds power, has wealth, or has neither; nor to the abused, regardless of their stature, fame, size, or anonymity. In the Kingdom of God, there is neither rich or poor, famous or forgotten, adult or child, male or female. There are only those made in God's image who are held accountable for how they treat other image bearers. The abused child whose name and story no one knows holds the same place of importance to God as the beautiful and famous actress or actor, and vice-a-versa. In the same way, a President who has abused and sexually assaulted women holds the same place of judgment as the father who creeps into his child's room night after night without anyone knowing.
As one made in God's image, abuse should disgust you, and you ought to be driven to speak up and take action, no matter who the abuser is. The Pastor or Music Minister is to be held just as accountable as the strung-out, jobless heroin addict who commits acts of abuse. Titles and position do not protect you from judgment by Almighty, nor should they protect you from dissenting voices. For those who name the name of Christ, you should be even more motivated to do for the 'least of these'. If you see or hear of abuse, act. Speak up. Make it known to those in authority. Stay with it until you know it has been heard, seen and acted upon by those in authority, and then stay with it a little longer. To stay silent is to co-condemn the abused to a life of silent pain and crippling shame, of which you will be held accountable for your inaction just as the abuser for their action.
Be warned, however, that if you speak up against abuse you will incur the push back of the system that supports it. You see, abuse can only happen in systems which allow for it. The pastor would not be able to seduce and prey upon his congregants if his church system held him accountable, did not give him an overindulgence of power, or support silence. Nor would the tycoon be able to get away with predatory actions unless the system in which he works made it possible. When you call out abuse in any system, you will be lashed out against. They'll say you're being divisive, judgmental, unforgiving, slandering, or a dissenter. Do not let this stop you. You're reward does not come in accolades here and now but in the 'well done' of a King who promises liberation to the oppressed and judgment to the oppressor.

Getting pumped up is your job, but I have refreshment ideas to get you started. Put down those junk snacks you are putting in your mouth. The point is, it's time to get rid of that winter fat and into your summer flex! I've put together a list of three easy-to-make smoothies I have been making for a while & you can create at home.
#1 | Pineapple Cucumber de Thick
What you will need:
Half a ripe cucumber (slice it up, cutting the ends off first).
Ice cubes for thickness
2 cups of frozen pineapple
1 cup of yogurt
1 cup of coconut milk
1 cup of frozen banana
A few drops of lime
1 cup of kale
Fat-free whipped cream
The get down:
You'll have enough for 2 or 3 servings. This smoothie is a little thick. But, it is so good!
Blend your cucumber first. Slowly add the pineapple. You may decide you want more of a cucumber taste than pineapple, so use your discretion here.
Add in your lime and kale, then banana. Pour in the coconut milk and a glob of yogurt.
Your bananas may have melted a bit, so throw in the ice cubes until you get the right consistency. Consistency is key!!
Add whip and serve!
#2 | Mean Green
(My All-Time Fave)
What you will need:
2 cups of spinach
1 cup of kale
2 cups of water
1 cup of yogurt
1 cup of frozen mango
1 cup of frozen pineapple
A kiwi
2 bananas
Grapes and/or blueberries are optional
The mixdown:
Blend all greens with 2 cups of a liquid base - you can use water, coconut milk, almond milk, or yogurt, depending on your taste.
Stay away from Soy though. Soy is full of estrogen and can even damage your thyroid.
Once you have a desirable consistency, throw in fruits, adding the frozen fruits last & serve!
#3 | Man-Berry Smoothie
What you will need:
1 tablespoon of flaxseed
1 tablespoon of almonds
1 cup of spinach
1 cup of kale
2 cups of frozen strawberries
1 cup of frozen blueberries
1 cup of frozen raspberries
1 banana
2 scoops of vanilla protein powder
1 cup of yogurt (honey or lime will be savage)
Ice cubes
Time to get nutty:
Crush the nuts beforehand in a plastic zip lock bag. You don't want to ruin your blades if you do this wrong.
Throw in the veggies, banana, and flaxseed. Slowly add the yogurt and nuts.
Now, the berries – one cup at a time. Slowly add ice cubes for consistency.

Chan, Music and Food: The Taiwan tour, pt 2
When we last visited our hero he was down with a a/c cold…
The night before once I returned to the hotel, rest, a hot bath, glass of wine. I was out for the count fairly early. The next morning I was feeling better, not perfect but better. We started the day with another great buffet. It was not fully vegetarian but there was enough choices that I could again eat my fill. I did not stick with the Chan teaching of eating 75 – 80%, I stuffed myself, not to an excess but at least 90-95%. It was worth it. I needed the body fuel to help heal, I figured.
It was still somewhat early, but I chose not to redo the plan to visit the Heart Chan group, rather to just rest. I think I went with LZ out to a couple of places she wanted to go to. It was hot out, but for me not uncomfortable. Since I was not bothering anyone with my small sniffles at this point, going out with her was fine. One of the places she wanted to see was a tower called , 101.
Afterward back to the hotel and just hung out in the lounge. There we could eat and drink in under relaxed conditions. There was some food set out, not a great selection but I was still able to top off my breakfast from the morning, enough to hold me over for the evening. Then I was off to the club.
My friend the musician I met in Sakai, Japan and I met up at a place call Jazz/blues spot Swing. It had a bit of trouble finding it once I was nearby. With some help from a local I was able to get there. My friend also brought along a friend of his. She had lived in the States for a few years, so her English was great. We because friends easily. She had an interest in Qi Gong and Chan. As it turns out she was just finishing a book by the grandmaster of the Dharma Drum sect, founded by Sheng Yen. My current teachers school and teacher. Also the place(s) I had just went to the day before. So as it turns out I am her Sempai/shrxiang, elder brother. Funny small world. So we three hd a pleasant evening at the club. I spoke with the owners some who also spoke Japanese. The husband played organ. At a later point he, my friend and I did a couple of songs together. I did not have my Bass, so I played piano on one song, and just sang on another. Fun. When settling my bar tap I meet another person from Japan, Tokyo, he is Chinese, speaks Japanese, English and Chinese. His wife is Japanese. A nice fellow who also plays Sax. We exchange info Facebook and Cards. He says he often comes to Osaka, so we may meet again.
I find out trains in Taiwan also stop running at 12:00 so it was time for me to head back. My new Chan Sister and I walked back together chatting about Chan and enjoying the walk. At the station we went opposite directions.
The next and last day, LZ and I went to another recommended vegetarian restaurant. It was big! Food thing we had reservations so got to go in among the first. This place was the best of the stay. Lot and lots of choices both western and Asian. I saw a group of Buddhist Nuns there also filling up. Once again I did the 90% fill up. Maybe 95, I knew it would be the last meal there so I enjoyed. There were so many choices I got a little of almost every thing.
From there it was back to the hotel to make ready for our early evening flight back home to Osaka. It was nice the flight was not too late and it was only a little over 2 hrs. Seats were tight with no leg room. Still I was able to sleep most of the way, by the time I was getting too uncomfortable the flight was over.
It was a good trip. lZ said she had no interest in going back the food was not as great as she hoped for. Japan had more variety. For me it was great . Japan is not so great for vegetarians. I did get a website that list Veggie places all over. Some not too far from us, but still some travel involved.
Would I go back, hmm yeah, if I could get a good flight price and hotel rate. Also with a purpose. Like a retreat with the Chan group, or a Kyudo seminar, something like that. I still like feel and sights of Japan better. If there was a Tai Chi Mantis sifu or Chen Tai Chi teacher there in Taiwan that would push me into a visit sooner than later. I heard there maybe be a Kyudo Seminar there, maybe that will be my return reason…it is up to the Dao. If God be willing nd the Bombs don't fall.
Oh, if you wish to see the photos…click here X

Addison Sprouse leads the Eagles in scoring at 12.9 points a game and set the school record for most 3-pointers (7) in a game earlier this season. Paige Thompson goes for 9.9 points a game. Thompson leads the team in rebounds per game at 6.7. Jill Schulte leads the team in assists at 31, but Sprouse has 30 and Thompson 24.

LONDON – Gareth Thomas thanked his supporters on Wednesday, saying he would "fight for a world where acceptance of everyone is normal" after being the victim of a homophobic assault last week.
The former Wales rugby union star said he was a victim of a hate crime in Cardiff on Friday and he had carried out restorative justice in the hope of sending a "positive message".
"After the physical scars have healed, I feel I have to say an unbelievable THANK YOU from me and all in the LGBT community for the support I have received," Thomas wrote in a statement on Twitter.
"My mental scars will stay with me for some time, but will drive me to fight even more for a world where acceptance of everyone is normal."
Xxx pic.twitter.com/TQjBtm6Y5M— Gareth Thomas (@gareththomas14) November 21, 2018
The police force said restorative justice was about "finding positive solutions to crime" and "encouraging young people to be accountable for the consequences of their actions".
"To the group that attacked me, please stay true to your word and apologise," added Thomas. "I believe you all when you said sorry."
The 44-year-old also thanked the French Rugby Federation for their support after it was announced that France players would wear rainbow laces in Saturday's game against Fiji.
"To the French rugby federation, merci," he said. "The players wearing rainbow laces in solidarity is an immense sign of inclusion."

Annie Kenney

Ann Kenney
13 September 1879
Springhead, Oldham, England
|9 July 1953 (aged 73)
Hitchin, Hertfordshire, England
|Political activism and trade unionism
|Known for
|Political activist and suffragette for the Women's Social and Political Union
Ann "Annie" Kenney (13 September 1879 – 9 July 1953) was an English working-class suffragette who became a leading figure in the Women's Social and Political Union. She co-founded its first branch in London with Minnie Baldock.[1] Kenney attracted the attention of the press and public in 1905 when she and Christabel Pankhurst were imprisoned for several days for assault and obstruction, after heckling Sir Edward Grey at a Liberal rally in Manchester on the issue of votes for women. The incident is credited with inaugurating a new phase in the struggle for women's suffrage in the UK, with the adoption of militant tactics. Annie had friendships with Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence, Baroness Pethick-Lawrence, Mary Blathwayt, Clara Codd, Adela Pankhurst and Christabel Pankhurst.
Early life[edit]
Kenney was born in Springhead, Saddleworth, in Oldham, to a working-class family, the fourth daughter (of 12 children) of Horatio Nelson Kenney (1849–1912) and Anne Wood (1852–1905). There were seven sisters including Nell (Sarah), Jessie, Jennie, Alice and Kitty. Annie started part-time work in a cotton mill at the age of 10, as well as attending school, and full-time work at 13, which involved 12-hour shifts from six in the morning. Employed as a weaver's assistant, or "tenter", part of her job was to fit the bobbins and attend to the strands of fleece when they broke; during one such operation, one of her fingers was ripped off by a spinning bobbin. She remained at the mill for 15 years, was involved in trade-union activities, furthered her education through self-study and—inspired by Robert Blatchford's publication, The Clarion—promoted the study of literature among her work colleagues. She was a regular church attender.[2][3][4]
Kenney became actively involved in the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) after she and her sister Jessie heard Teresa Billington-Greig and Christabel Pankhurst[5] spoke at the Oldham Clarion Vocal Club in 1905.[4]
During a Liberal rally at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, in October 1905, Kenney and Christabel Pankhurst interrupted a political meeting attended by Winston Churchill and Sir Edward Grey to shout: "Will the Liberal government give votes to women?" After unfurling a banner declaring "Votes for Women" and shouting, they were thrown out of the meeting and arrested for causing an obstruction; Pankhurst was taken into custody for a technical assault on a police officer after she spat at him to provoke an arrest (although she wrote later that it was a dry spit, more of a "pout").[6] Kenney was imprisoned for three days for her part in the protest; she was jailed 13 times in total.
Emmeline Pankhurst wrote in her autobiography that "this was the beginning of a campaign the like of which was never known in England, or for that matter in any other country ... we interrupted a great many meetings ... and we were violently thrown out and insulted. Often we were painfully bruised and hurt."
Kenney and Minnie Baldock formed the first London branch of the WPSU in Canning Town in 1906, holding meetings at Canning Town Public Hall.[7] In June that year Kenney, Adelaide Knight, and Mrs Sbarborough were arrested when they tried to obtain an audience with H. H. Asquith, then Chancellor of the Exchequer.[8][9] Offered the choice of six weeks in prison or giving up campaigning for one year, Kenney chose prison, as did the others.[8]
Kenney became part of the senior hierarchy of the WSPU, becoming its deputy in 1912. In 1913 she and Flora Drummond arranged for WSPU representatives to speak with leading politicians David Lloyd George and Sir Edward Grey. The meeting had been arranged with the proviso that these were working-class women representing their class. They explained the terrible pay and working conditions that they suffered and the hope that a vote would enable women to challenge the status quo in a democratic manner. Alice Hawkins from Leicester explained how her fellow male workers could choose a man to represent them while the women were left unrepresented.[10]
Kenney, who was involved in other militant acts and underwent force-feeding many times, was always determined to confront the authorities and highlight the injustice of the Cat and Mouse Act. On one occasion in January 1914 when she had just been released from prison and was very weak, it was reported in The Times that at a meeting chaired by Norah Dacre Fox, the WSPU general secretary at Knightsbridge Town Hall:
Miss Kenney was conveyed to the meeting in a horse ambulance; and she was borne into the meeting on a stretcher, which was raised to the platform and placed on two chairs. She raised her right hand and fluttered a handkerchief and, covered with blankets, lay motionless watching the audience. Later, her licence under the "Cat and Mouse" Act was offered for sale. Mrs Dacre Fox stated that an offer of £15 had already been received for it, and the next was one of £20, then £25 was bid, and at this price it was sold. Soon afterwards Miss Kenney was taken back to the ambulance. Detectives were present, but no attempt was made to rearrest Miss Kenney, whose licence had expired.[11]
At the outbreak of World War I in 1914, Emmeline Pankhurst called an end to suffragette militancy and urged the women to become actively involved in war work by taking on jobs that had traditionally been regarded as in the male preserve,[12] as most of those men were now absent at the front. This was set in train through the pages of The Suffragette, relaunched on 16 April 1915 with the slogan that it was 'a thousand times more the duty of the militant Suffragettes to fight the Kaiser for the sake of liberty than it was to fight anti-Suffrage Governments'. In autumn 1915 Kenney accompanied Emmeline Pankhurst, Flora Drummond, Norah Dacre Fox and Grace Roe to South Wales, the Midlands and Clydeside on a recruiting and lecture tour to encourage trade unions to support war work.[13] Kenney took her message as far afield as France and the United States.
Personal life[edit]
Annie had a succession of close female friends within the suffragette movement. She would share a bed with Mary Blathwayt, Clara Codd and Adela Pankhurst. She and Christabel Pankhurst went on holiday to Saak together, but it is not clear if that relationship was ever physical.[14] Mary Blathwayt noted in her diary Kenney's several female sleeping partners when she stayed at the Blathwayt's home, Eagle House. Blathwayt's jealousy has been proposed as the reason.[15] Annie was indulged by the Blathwayts. She was a frequent visitor to Eagle house and unlike everyone else she planted four trees. They paid for presents and watches and paid her medical and dentistry bills for both her and her sisters.[14]
Kenney married James Taylor (1893–1977) and settled in Letchworth, Hertfordshire, after women over 30 won the vote in 1918. A son, Warwick Kenney Taylor, was born in 1921. She died of diabetes at the Lister Hospital in Hitchin on 9 July 1953 aged 73. Her funeral was conducted according to the rites of the Rosicrucians and her ashes were scattered by her family on Saddleworth Moor.[16]
Posthumous recognition[edit]
In 1999, Oldham Council erected a blue plaque in her honour at Lees Brook Mill in Lees, near Oldham, and where Kenney had started work in 1892.[17] On 14 December 2018 a statue, funded by public subscription was unveiled close to the site of the former Oldham Town Hall.[18]
Her name and image (and those of 58 other women's suffrage supporters) are etched on the plinth of the statue of Millicent Fawcett in Parliament Square, London, that was unveiled in 2018.[19]

The rapid adoption of smartphones, tablets and other mobile technologies has radically changed the consumer electronics landscape. Today's consumers expect companies to go beyond developing products and deliver solutions that suit their lifestyles—including new form factors, apps and cloud services that enhance the user experience.
While these changes offer extraordinary opportunities for consumer electronics firms, they also challenge organizations to rethink their research and development approach, increase their focus on customer demands and streamline the development and deployment processes. To accomplish this, companies need an IT agile infrastructure to support rapid response, greater collaboration with partners and real-time analytics that provide insights into customer demands.

Thank you to Cely at Creating in Carolina for nominating me for this award! Cely and I have become great friends over the 'net! We share many things in common, one being the love of creating cards that play on words! :)
As part of receiving this award I am to give the Trendy Blogger award to 10 other bloggers whom I think display their talent and time/effort on their trendy blog site. I am also to list two reasons why I started blogging and why I continue to blog.
1. I started blogging out of curiosity. Now, I know that sounds strange, but I just didn't "get it" when I heard the term "blog". So, I ventured onto blogger, signed up....and the rest is history, I guess! I have always loved to write, but was never sure what to write, so once I found that I could blog about my crafts, I was totally hooked!
2. I continue to blog because now it has become a creative AND social outlet for me! I have met so many wonderful people in the cyber world, and consider them friends! People fascinate me! We all have our own story, and every little comment presents that much more of the story. :) Make sense??
Here is my list of nominee's (in no particular order).

Look Of The Week - Plus A Boho Chic Style-Guide
Boho chic is obviously one of my favorite styles at the moment. It's the way I like to style myself but what actually is boho chic? Do you already know it?
Boho chic is a style of fashion drawing on various bohemian, gypsy and hippie influences. It
combines colorful, detailed, folk-inspired pieces with simple, modern pieces.
So now we all know what's boho chic… ;-)
Reflecting on the fashion style of boho chic I combined my "Look of the week" with a front knotted crop top in floral print, a white shorts and my new peep toe ankle boots. On top I jazzed it up with a long necklace with some brown suede details and my beloved fingering with a turquoise stone . By wearing my brown, floppy prim hat I tried to give the look a folk inspired touch.
I wore this combo last weekend and this top has been one of my fav's this summer. I really like the color and the neckline . It's also a great piece that will transition into fall. You can combine it perfectly with a cozy woolen cardigan or a denim jacket. What I also love are all the comfy, cute shorts. Who doesn't love a pair of shorts that can leave the house or be worn as loungewear. I have these pair for years and still happy that I did this purchase, I don't know, maybe 4 years ago.
Fall is around the corner and these pair of suede open toe booties are the ideal fall shoes for the transition. I love this pair from Stradivarius. The color is a beautiful nude tone. Let elongate your legs, due to the heel and the color. I always like to combine suede boots with a skinny blue jeans or a hot shorts.
Actually it's easy going to style that boho chic but sometimes you may have some challenges and it's hard to pull it off. Thats why I ask myself: "Wouldn't it be great if you had a simple, easy guide to help you nail your own bohemian style?"
That's why I prepared a boho chic style-guide to give you a little support.
So let's dive right in to the boho chic style essentials:
Maxi Skirt: When building your boho inspired wardrobe, maxi skirts are an absolute must-have staple piece in order to create the perfect boho chic style. They are available in a variety of colorful or printed styles. The perfect maxi skirts for the boho trend will be a pleated style. Simply style your maxi skirt with a complimentary cami top, printed tee or bardot top for the perfect summer-ready look.
Maxi Dress: Maxi dresses make the ideal layering pieces during the summer months. Bohemian-styled maxi dresses can come in a variety of solid colors and earthy paisley prints. Style your maxi dress with a distressed denim jacket and strappy pair of sandals to create the perfect boho style for warm summer days.
Chunky Knitted Cardigans : Will make great layering and can also be worn comfortably throughout fall, winter and spring. For a more bohemian look try opting for a lacy knit, this will give that kind of see-through look to the item. They make great layering pieces, and are light enough to wear during the fall, winter, and spring.
Tunic: Tunics are what's thought of when you say the word "bohemian" so this is definitely something you may want to equip your wardrobe with. With so many different styles and colors, which all look beautiful, so you have the chance to be really creative and tasteful on this one.
Boho Style Top: Peasant tops or blouse aren't at the peak of their popularity anymore, but are still regarded a staple for girls with earthy styles. Embroidered tops are great for this also! Try checking at any vintage or retro stores.
Floppy Brim Hat: Floppy hats are gorgeous and they are perfect for the boho summer look. The most common colors are beige's, light browns, burgundy and black, but go with what you feel like! I absolutely love this brown coloured floppy brimmed felt hat, add the perfect gypsy flair to any fall or winter outfit. Take a tip and pair one with high-waisted skinny jeans, wedges, a cropped top, and an open button-down shirt.
Boho Style Bag: This will be down to your personal taste but you can opt for a leather style one, suede, or soft cloth type material. Whether you prefer distressed leather or fabrics, fringe or suede, a tiny cross-body or an oversized hobo bag, having a reliable and fantastic bohemian purse is key to tying your outfit all together.
Neutral-Colored Ankle Boots: It's up to you whether you want a heel or not, but make sure the heel isn't too high or skinny so your boots will stay comfortable. But the slouchy, distressed booties seem to be every boho girls staples.
Sandals: Gladiator sandals are truly a godsend. They're the perfect answer to the flip flop dilemma and they're summery and light, yet they still look polished and fashionable
What Do You Think?
Do you already have a boho chic style in your wardrobe? What pieces out of these do you own? Are there any essentials that I forgot? Leave a comment and tell us what you think!!
Hope you are doing well on this Sunday evening.
Enjoy your time and be grateful also for the small things in life.

Where To Stay
10 reasons you need to plan a trip to the Bahamas right now
The name alone conjures fantasies of crystal clear water, secluded white sand beaches and a glorious slowing of the pulse.
In Miami, they're so close (most islands are accessible in under an hour by air). Yet, when was the last time you visited? Whether it's a brand-spanking new mega-resort in Nassau, a salty weekend in Bimini accessed by the budget-friendly fast ferry or a farther flung getaway on a secluded Out Island, chances are a trip to the Bahamas will offer a much-needed refuge and soothe the soul.
Here's everything you need to know to plan your next escape to paradise. It's easier and closer than you might think.
READ: Planning a vacation? Here are the best hotels in the Florida Keys
What's New in Nassau & Paradise Island?
- Introducing Baha Mar—three resorts rolled into one
The long-awaited Baha Mar megaresort in Nassau officially opened last spring. The $4.2 billion, 1,000-acre compound is actually three hotels rolled into one: SLS, Grand Hyatt and the forthcoming Rosewood (slated for a June opening). The sprawling oceanfront property is flush with amenities including the Caribbean's largest casino at 100,000 square-feet, an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, 40 restaurants, 11 swimming pools and a freestanding ESPA Spa. Fans of Miami's SLS properties will also enjoy the Bahamian interpretation of mainstays like Katsuya, Cleo and Michael Schwart'z Fi'lia, as well as the newly opened Bond nightclub with interiors by Lenny Kravitz's design studio.
2. The historic Ocean Club is now a Four Seasons
Lounging in the sun at @fsoceanclub = pure serenity (tap4deets) #bahamas #poshetravels #poshestyle
A post shared by POSHESTYLE by Cami (@poshestyle) on Feb 21, 2018 at 10:56am PST
Previously a One&Only resort, the historic Ocean Club on Paradise Island changed hands to Four Seasons at the end of 2017. Famous for its intimate cottages set amidst formal gardens inspired by Versailles, the property offers an air of European opulence intermingled with laidback Bahamian luxury. There are also three oceanfront swimming pools, a tranquil spa and five restaurants including Dune, helmed by acclaimed French chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. The resort features tennis courts and a golf course to ensure every ounce of paradise is at your fingertips.
3. All-Inclusive at Warwick Paradise Island
For an adults-only, all-inclusive resort on Paradise Island, consider the Warwick Paradise Island, which opened at the end of 2016. With seven food and beverage outlets ranging from fresh seafood to a pizzeria and casual rum bar in the lobby, there are plenty of options. The resort also boasts a private beach, lagoon-style swimming pool, tennis courts, beach volleyball and a spa.
4. Get a taste of Harbour Island at Atlantis

A post shared by The Cove Atlantis (@thecoveatlantis) on Feb 8, 2018 at 9:11am PST
Inspired by the lost city of Atlantis with novel amenities like a massive waterpark, immersive aquarium, casino and comedy club, Atlantis is the original Bahamas mega-resort. For an upscale experience, consider booking a room at The Cove, a high-end, high-design enclave with a private pool that caters to adults. They've recently activated a pop-up of Chef Julie Lightbourn's iconic Harbour Island restaurant SipSip with both a poolside and beachfront dining room, bringing a taste of the Out Islands laidback charm to hotel guests.
Arrive By Ferry
5. Bimini
The tiny 10-square-mile island chain of Bimini, located just 50 miles due east of South Florida, has experienced a tourism boom since 2013 with the development of Resorts World Bimini and their convenient and affordable ferry service from Miami. Anchored by a luxurious, newly built Hilton, the resort features a marina, multiple restaurants and swimming pools, a beachfront restaurant/nightclub Luna Beach and a casino. All of these modern comforts are great, but it's the island's undeveloped, rustic charm just beyond the property line that's the real draw.

Smart Tips For Uncovering Services
The Benefits that You can Get for Your Building Project from a Topographical Survey You must know that those topographical surveys can be very important to any type of project, whatever is the size. The use of the latest in such surveying technology, the topographical land survey can uncover many unforeseen problems that would save the developer some time and money. The topographical survey could offer you with an accurate representation of the surface of the ground and this can also allow you natural and manmade objects including those existing structures, boundary details, tree positions, the drainage and ground surfaces. Topographical surveys can show an area in much detail you require that would depend on the project size and the terrain which is involved. You have to know that information is normally gathered by using the electronic theodolite or a total station which would measure the distances as well as the angles between those points on the ground. This actually relates to such standard datum point in which the height and location are being determined already. In order to add more details to the survey, the techniques like the 3D laser scanning or aerial photography may also be utilized. All of the information which are gathered onsite may be edited and supplied to you in whichever manner would suit you best in the 2D drawings or the electronic files.
Overwhelmed by the Complexity of Resources? This May Help
Having such topographical survey done on the project may surely highlight the possible issues. The distances between those surrounding properties are actually recorded accurately to avoid the potential boundary as well as right to light problems. The survey may also determine if you will be building on the flood plain or if the ground is actually at risk for flooding. Due to climate change as well as the recent amount of heavy rainfall leading to various places getting flooded, the need for those topographical surveys has surely increased. Due to such combination of the increasing rainfall which is putting pressure on the river banks as well as the manmade drainages and growing population, topographical surveys have certainly become a quite important tool for builders and developers.
Learning The Secrets About Experts
The type and amount of such topographical survey detail which is collected on the site must be based on your specification. But, the experienced land surveyors will make use of their knowledge of planning to offer additional information which might be essential for any future design or planning application. The information may be collected as well from utility companies that can be added to the topographical survey plans. Apart from having the topographical land survey by engineers, you can as well save time for the designer of the project and minimize the risk for contractor by accurately mapping the drainage positions, water supply and those electricity cables.

So you've just created a Facebook fan page and can't wait to engage thousands of fan and followers. Fast forward 3 weeks, you only have a handful of followers- no one seems interested in what you have to share. So what's the solution to this? How can you get more Facebook followers and expand your reach? Well, we have discussed some of the best tactics on how to get Facebook followers fast.
1. Share Interesting, High-Quality Content
To grow your Facebook fan page and attract a huge following, consider posting quality, engaging content. Engaging content is one that sparks enough interest to get people liking, commenting, and sharing it. There is no other way around this. The more they like, comment, or share your posts, the more likely it will be to attract followers fast.
Check Out Our Services!
2. Stay Active
Don't just post content and leave it at that. No one will engage with your fan page if they don't see you interacting. For example, if you create a post, stay active by commenting, answering queries, asking questions…e.t.c. Also, consistency is key- be sure to post on a regular basis to keep your fans engaged- at least 5 times a week. An active Facebook fan page is bound to attract more followers compared to one that is inactive.
3. Share Good Quality Images, Videos, and Memes Alongside your Posts
The most popular Facebook fan pages have something in common- they all tend to share high-quality, images, relevant videos, and memes. Others include charts and infographics alongside their posts. A recent study found that the most liked and shared content on Facebook had characteristics like images, videos, quotes, charts, facts, and interaction. So don't forget to add these elements to get Facebook followers fast.
4. Run Contests
Running Facebook contests is another way to not only increase your followers, but also build brand awareness. You can run a contest that requires your fans to simply follow your fan page for the chance to win a reward. People love rewards, so getting more followers using this tactic is a sure thing.
5. Target a Local Audience
As good as it's important to target audience on a global scale, you will be surprised at how much the local audience would be willing to support your business. It's therefore important to also target your local audience to get more followers. Simply include your location in a post plus a region-specific hashtag. Another great option is to document a local event which is highly likely to draw potential followers in the region.
6. Engage with other Facebook Influencers
When you engage with other people's posts, especially those who have a huge following, they will most likely engage with your posts as well. Of course, this will increase your page's visibility, which will definitely attract more followers.
7. Promote your Own Page and Content
The above-mentioned tactics will surely get you many followers, but to get a good number of followers, you need to cast your net wide. This means promoting your pages in places other than Facebook. These include other social networks and your newsletter. Be sure to ask your fans to follow your Facebook page.
8. Integrate your Blog/Website with your Facebook Page
If you have a blog/website, it's best to integrate it with your Facebook fan page. A high-quality website/blog that provides great value to readers will most likely attract huge traffic (which will boost your revenue) and also increase your follower count.
You don't have to spend any money to get Facebook followers to your page. Use these tips and tricks on how to get Facebook followers fast and get your business going!

LOUISDALE: A pilot project is trying to use food and conversation to fight social isolation among senior citizens.
The "Around the Dinner Table" pilot project was a concept outlined by the MIND-BODY-SPIRIT (MBS) Project to allow socially-isolated seniors to become socially empowered through a connection with food, to improve their well-being.
Volunteer Debbie Samson, a member of the Fleur-de-Lis Seniors' Club, took the concept and adapted it for an event on May 16 at St. Louis Parish Hall in Louisdale.
"Our group here saw it as a way of getting out some of the people that we don't normally see at regular at events," Samson said. "Because it's by invitation basis and you go and you pick them up, and you make them a meal, we thought it would be a great opportunity for us to get those kind of people involved in some of the activities that we've been doing."
With help from the St. Louis Parish Council, which donated the space, and a grant from the MBS to purchase the food, about 20 hosts each had a table, there were about 80 guests, Samson recalled, and each table had a talking circle. She said each host was diligent in identifying people in their group who don't get out much or don't enjoy a healthy level of socialization.
"There were so many people there that we hadn't seen in such a long time," Samson pointed out.
Samson said the conversations at each table centered around "days gone by."
"It resonated with a grand majority of them so that kept the conversation just rolling," she recalled.
The purpose of the Around the Dinner Table program is for seniors to grow their social circles and benefit from new social connections. It is a social activity that captures meaningful conversations around food. The program is based on a story sharing circle, which creates opportunities for rich conversations.
A dinner group meets regularly. Each dinner has a host, which is one person or a pair of people. The host also facilitates the conversation at the dinner table. The host invites three or four guests. Those dinner guests are encouraged to invite someone new to the regular social circle. The final size of the dinner party should end up being about eight to 10 people.
The conversation at this dinner revolves around a specific dish prepared by the host. The recipe can be special for any reason that is meaningful to the host, such as being a family recipe, an international dish, a special occasion meal, or other.
Once the meal begins, the host tells the story about his or her dish. After the story is finished other dinner guests are invited to comment or ask questions by taking turns.
Samson added the feedback she heard from participants was overwhelmingly positive and they plan to hold dinner tables twice a year in the future, in addition to the regular activities of the Louisdale-based seniors' club.
"Social isolation is a big factor in the determinants of health, so if people get isolated, then they tend to get sicker," Samson pointed out. "So if we can keep them out and active and socially connected, hopefully that will benefit their health."

I saw an orthopedic doc today. The good news is the leg is still stable, meaning the ACL held up.
The bad news, he said, is that I can't straighten my leg out flat--fully extend it, so that if I were sitting on the floor, I would be pressing the back of the knee against the floor.
I told him the reason I can't straighten out my leg is because it hurts! But he's worried something might have gotten knocked loose and be interfering with the mechanics. That would NOT be a good thing, even if it's far less extreme than an ACL injury.
I'm thinking it may just be the fluid and swelling from the injury that is keeping me from fully extending my leg.
I'll get an MRI Monday night, and a few days later I'll get see this doctor again.
My wife said to me this morning that she's concerned about "this pursuit of health that leads to injuries."
In my mind was the Bob Dylan line, "You're gonna make me give myself a good talking to." I need to find out how serious this injury is. But it does make me think about changes like declining to spar with teens who are nimble enough to kick me in the head. And it also makes me wonder about taking up fitness boxing, where you don't have as much impact, twisting and other stress on the legs.
Meanwhile, my old Cryo-cuff, from my ACL operation, is on, backwards, cooling off the back of my knee.
I'll just have to wait for a week to see what the doctor says, and then consider what to do next. I hope it's not serious.

Thanks for the wishes, everybody. My knee is getting better through RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) so, although I still can't flatten it fully yet, I hope it will turn out to be fine in the MRI.

After traveling in Asia for two weeks on my way home I was facing a twelve-hour delay in one of Europe's major airports as I missed my connection due to a delay at the departure airport.
This was one of those occasions that allowed me to think about my experiences in the world around us. I just enjoyed a spectacular trip with new inspiring experiences and the delay on my return back home almost ruined the entire experience. However, I decided to focus on the positive feeling obtained during my trip.
I once again came to the conclusion that we humans do not respect our beautiful planet - our home. The amount of pollution I saw during my trip was devastating and I am convinced that if we do not act now, we will destroy the planet. I was in the same region two years ago, and it is clear that we have reached a saturation point of how much induced destruction Earth's ecosystem can absorb.
Earth can survive without us, and Earth may even be better off without us wasting its resources, destroying other species, contaminating the water and air and showing no respect for its ecosystem.
Even though the people trying to turn the tide is growing, there still is a vast majority that does not care, or that is just too ignorant to realize what we humans are doing to our planet. Why is it so difficult to open our eyes and realize that if we do not change our behavior, the late Steven Hawking will be right, and will we have no other option than to leave this planet within the next 200 years, as Earth will become uninhabitable?
Does it really take a cataclysmic event to wake up humans? I don't think there is any economic benefit big enough to justify the destruction of our home world.
How difficult is it really to change? Can we not live without plastics? Is it so hard to go back to growing crops ecologically, and is it so difficult to eat what we need without eliminating entire species?
During my trip, I had the unique opportunity to stay at a Buddhist temple, and to personally witness how fulfilling a simple and balanced life can be. Our life can be so joyful and plentiful if we do not focus on personal gain at all cost, but rather create happiness by sharing and caring. What is your money worth if you are alone and have no one to share it with? Doesn't it become just a paper, or a useless number in a digital account? We need to start seeking balance in what we do, and to admit the consequences of our actions.
When we focus on what is important I am sure we are capable of turning the tide. I therefore recommend you to take a trip into nature and witness the beauty of our planet, and at the same time open your eyes and allow yourself to be stunned by the mountains of plastics on the beaches and the clouds of pollution emerging from our cities.
Scientists have calculated that if bees were to become extinct, humans would have 4 years before we starve. It was mentioned recently in the news that the number of insects in The Netherlands has decreased by more than 70%, and although some people would think, ah great less wasps, mosquitos and flies, we should remember that we cannot survive without insects, no matter how annoying they can be.
These are alarming numbers, especially if we consider that the mechanisms of exponential growth in a finite environment apply as can be demonstrated by the "bacteria in a bottle" an analogy so nicely explained by Professor Bartlett. This model is mathematically identical to the case of the exponentially growing consumption of our finite resources as A = Pert, where "A" is the ending amount "P" is the beginning amount, "r" is the growth or decay rate, and "t" is time. Remember that if we put one bacterium in the bottle at 11:00 AM when was the bottle half-full? At 11:59 AM. So, at what time would you realize that the bacteria were running out of space? When at 11:55 AM the bottle is 3% filled and there is 97% open space would you perceive that there was a problem? Based on what we can observe regarding rapidly shrinking populations of tuna, bees, elephants, tigers, etc.
I think we are at a few seconds to twelve and need to act now. Not only for ourselves, but for our children and planet Earth, our home that has given us so much.
