Well friends, I think I'm part of the family now, for sure! My new endeavor, to write the book I have been organizing in my mind for 35 years. Lol! The ironic timing of this simply laughable because, although, chapters have been written and rewritten, over and over in my mind, (and in about 100 notebooks) the last chapter has always been missing. The successful ending just didn't exist... Until this past January. Then, 4 months later, I find this incredible writer's site, that I joined, that has given me the inspiration and all it takes, to make this one more dream I have, to come true. I wish I could reach out and hug all of those who are helping me get my book started. Thank you Fanstory friends and family! I love you all!

I have such amazing and overwhelming feelings from the compliments I have received recently on my poem, "Hello Sir". People... just people like me... whom I've never, ever met, from all over the world... have touched my heart and have made me so emotionally thankful, for actually reading so deep into my words, and taking what my soul inteded to give. That is truly rewarding and brings such tears of joy to me. This, my friends, is the finale to my firework display! I'm honored and I will cherish this feeling forever in my heart! God bless all of you!

This new place I found.... I think, is my new best friend! It's silly, but I really want to say, "Baby, where have you been my whole life"? Seriously, I have to control myself, because I'm starting to become a bit O.C.D. with a writing addiction. I am engaged to a wonderful man who is the love of the rest of my life. I think he's getting a bit lonely since I've got this new friend. I'm so lucky to have two loves and the one that gives hugs, needs more attention than he's been getting. I'm going to limit my F.S. "togetherness" to 2-3 hours per day. I'll see how this works out, besides, my but is sore!

Remembering the Fallen on Memorial Day
On this Memorial Day, it was nice to see both presidential candidates stop to honor the many fallen soldiers who have fought for out freedom. Let us all take a moment of silence to remember those brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for us.
John Kerry paid tribute to fellow veterans in a solemn reflection on lives lost at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, as he stood with the mother of the late William Bronson, a Navy officer who "died in 1976 from a seizure caused by a head wound he received in combat eight years earlier," whose name Kerry was able to get added to the wall.
Pres. Bush praised U.S. veterans and war dead with a speech referencing the character "of the men and women who wear our country's uniform in places like Kabul and Kandahar, in Mosul and Baghdad."
Of course, in an (elongated) election season, such as this one, it was as expected that certain political elements seeped into the ceremonies and their media coverage.
During Kerry's walk along the Vietnam Memorial Wall, he "flashed a big grin at one local fan carrying a sign promoting no CARB diet: no Cheney, Ashcroft, Rumsfeld or Bush. " That's a new attention-getting sign slogan, as far as I know, but it sounds pretty good.
The AP articles pointed out some interesting observations about veterans on both sides of Kerry and Bush:
But Kerry's past cuts both ways with veterans.And the startling fact that will likely bring most people from reflecting on the contributions of the past to realizing them today is likely a change in a number of lost lives from one year ago until today:
Some admire his heroism in war and his efforts to end the conflict after he returned home; others still are angry over his anti-war activities including his decision to throw away some military awards and his accusation of war crimes committed by American soldiers.
Likewise Bush both benefits and suffers politically from his position in the national security arena. About the same percentage of voters approve of his work against terrorism and see him as a strong leader as disapprove of his handling of Iraq.
A year ago at this time, more than 160 American soldiers had been killed in Iraq. The total since has risen to more than 800, and last week the Pentagon reported that the number wounded in action is approaching 4,700.Politics is politics, but the men and women who have fought and now fight for our freedom must be recognized for the contributions they each have brought to our country.

Nearly 50,000 miles using the stock seat on my Tenere, it works fine for a couple hundred miles but longer days it gets miserable. Yes I have done the flat seat mod and it helped a little but I'm really wanting a better seat and would like to see your recommendations. This is the only motorcycle I've ever owned that I considered switching to a different seat.

A lot of excitement around movements in the AUD at the end of last Friday and over the weekend. It looks interesting and appears to be a technical movement brought on by the trade balance on Thursday. I remain strong in the view the USD come December 2019 will be higher still, but cannot ignore short-term opportunities.
The technical – AUD breakouts
• AUDUSD – Has tested this downtrend channel several times in the past year but has never closed above it. Friday finally saw a break and close above the trendline – the risk is the Midterms and the CNH fixing but it's an interesting development.
• EURAUD – Broke below the 200-day moving average. EUR has eased off in recent weeks as periphery states have produced weak economic data while Australia's trade balance boomed. Again the risk here is the Midterms.
• AUDCAD – Also broke out, as oil moderated. This cross is risky: oil, the midterm and EM all shift AUDCAD around and swiftly – stops are a must.
Will be interesting to see if these break are more structural, I haven't seen enough economic data yet that would confirm this which is why the RBA's outlook is key.
The Economics
• There will be no move from Martin Place on Melbourne Cup day however there is a sense it could 'set up' it's views of 2019 and 2020 on Tuesday as after the December meeting the RBA is on its summer break until the first Tuesday of February, which has a very large timeframe considering Asia (especially China) tends to change its policy during this time.
• The 5 keys to 2019 and 2020
o Funding – the cost of capital is eating into residential housing, personal lending and the consumption of credit. The RBA will be aware that further increases in global cash markets will come home to roost in Australia which is likely to put pressure on rate calls the downside. AUD weakener
o House prices – a lower wealth effect' will filtering into a growth figures. Will this lead to macro-prudential tweaks that were originally brought into curb housing market in 2019 and 2020?
o Inflation – 16 consecutive and counting below its target 2% to 3% band. This should create a scenario where cuts are discussed, yet is maintaining a slight hike stance.
o Employment – booming part of the economy. However, the RBA still sees slack as being a thorn in the side of wage growth, part of its charter is to support employment which it can't do as employment growth strong – tough one.
o GDP, can private investment remain an addition to GDP or will it slide back to a subtraction in 2019? This is a China question. Watch the CNY. And, will consumption the largest contributor to GDP slide as wealth declines and wage growth remains anaemic? The RBA clearly thinks not its forecasted GDP to hold at 3.25% come December 2019.

Watch a remembrance of him here on WCVB and read a Boston.com story. He was also a board member of the Boston Firefighters Burn Foundation. Last April, Kennedy was a first responder to the scene of the Boston Marathon bombings. In response, he was training to run in this year's Marathon with a team of firefighters. Since the fire, there's been an outpouring of support by Bostonians, financially, as volunteers, and by lining the route as his body was transported to the funeral home. A fund has been started for the families of the two lost firefighters. Click here for details. Funeral plans are in the works for next week. Thank you for your #MilesofGood, Mike Kennedy.

Nigeria's economy, traditionally based on agriculture and trade, changed profoundly under colonial rule, beginning in the late 19th century. In the 1960s and 1970s the petroleum industry developed, prompting greatly increased export earnings and allowing massive investments in industry, agriculture, infrastructure, and social services. Many of these large investments, often joint ventures with private corporations, failed.
In 2005 Nigeria's gross domestic product (GDP) was $99 billion. The poor have been especially hard hit by Nigeria's economic problems, notably by devaluations of the currency, which make basic imported goods more expensive.
AGRICULTURE: Agriculture, including farming and herding, accounts for 23 percent of Nigeria's GDP and engages 3 percent of the economically active population. Agriculture contributed more than 75 percent of export earnings before 1970. Since then, however, agriculture has stagnated, partly due to government neglect and poor investment, and partly due to ecological factors such as drought, disease, and reduction in soil fertility. By the mid-1990s, agriculture's share of exports had declined to less than 5 percent. Nigeria's major crops include palms (used to produce palm oil), cacao, rubber, and cotton.
MINING: Petroleum dominates the Nigerian economy: Virtually 100 percent of export earnings and about four-fifths of government revenues are derived from petroleum. Half of all exports go to the United States, and most of the other half to Europe. Nigeria has Africa's largest reserves of natural gas, most of which are associated with the oil fields.
MANUFACTURING: During the 1950s and 1960s a few factories, including the first textile mills and food-processing plants, opened to serve Nigerians. During the 1970s and early 1980s industrial production increased rapidly. Nigeria's major manufactures are food and beverages, cigarettes, textiles and clothing, soaps and detergents, footwear, wood products, motor vehicles, chemical products, and metals. Smaller-scale manufacturing businesses engage in weaving, leather making, pottery making, and woodcarving.
FORESTRY AND FISHING: The bulk of Nigeria's forest production is fuelwood, consumed either as wood or as charcoal. In 2005 fuelwood production was 61 million cubic meters (2.2 billion cubic feet), harvested mostly near dense urban areas.
ENERGY: Petroleum, natural gas, and hydroelectricity are Nigeria's major sources of commercial energy; they are slightly outpaced by the largely noncommercial consumption of fuelwood and charcoal. Despite major programs to extend electricity to homes, only a small portion of rural households are electrified. Hydroelectricity is generated at Kainji Dam; only a small percentage of the country's potential hydroelectric capacity has been developed.

ABSOLUTELY WORTHLES...Typical Elko, Nevada redneck. ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS! Thank You Jesus Christ for nailing this pig.

Hughes was the first cop to question me about a mexican illegal trying to break a beer bottle to hurt me. After answering about 50 bullshit questions as Hughes' attempted to stonewall me and aggravate the situation, I asked him why he wasn't arresting Alberto Gonzalez.

He had apparently run a make on me and found Deputy Pete Turner's comment about me not respecting authority and decided to teach me a lesson. (I had a run in with Turner a couple years previous.) Hughes turned the incident completely around and had me convicted of battery. A conviction that Hughes and the entire department knew would follow me around the rest of my life.

Unfortunately for Hughes, however, one of his fellow officers must not have liked how he railroaded me. Cops like Hughes are bad for business. He or she must have known about Hughes' sex tape because it was confiscated and used to convict him of an incestuous relationship with a 17 year old female relative (daughter? MY GOD!).

Deputy Turner also found himself on the business end of the LORD's wrath. Several teenage girls came forth about him propositioning them, which resulted in his being fired from the Elko County Sheriff's Dept. In fact, it was learned during the investigation that Turner began wooing his current girlfriend when she was only 15.

No matter. Cops see that we go to prison for pedophilia but their buddies just get transferred to another area.

People of Christian faiths utilize the Bible to point out others' imperfections. However, the majority of those people are hypocrites.

Hypocrites are those who judge people by their sexual orientation on the basis of the teachings in an ancient book. While they, at the same time commit sins such as the sin of adultery, also taught in their holy book.

The Bible considers premarital intercourse to be adultery. It also considers extramarital sex to be adulterous. But most people don't know that the Bible also considers divorce to be a form of adultery, with the only one being exempt being the man who divorces his wife due to the previously mentioned formed of adultery. Meaning that regardless of whether or not the wife cheats, she is considered guilty of adultery upon divorcing her cheating husband. Harsh, I know.

Now, being straight is not a sin, but living a less than wholesome life is. It is rare, but there are straight people who do save themselves for marriage.

It is hi...Mr. Reeves, I thank you for your comment. It is highly appreciated. I did not intend to confuse you either. My blog is only my opinion on my view of situations. It's just how I see things. I could be right or wrong.

I did not say President Tolbert or any other president were not great. Both Tolbert and Tubman did do good things for Liberia in my view. And when I say Liberia will rise again, I was referring to when Liberia was known to other West Africans as petite New York and that was during the Tubman and Tolbert era.

I was talking about how the present president has done so much in such a short time under the circumstances in which she took over. The war turned many into animals like how you refer to them. It has been very difficult for her having to deal with such a corrupt bunch of people, some who have been so damaged that life means nothing to them.

I lost some close relatives and close friends to murder and rape. But it is only right to forgive. I too sin and would like to be forgiven for my many sins.

We all need to do whatever we can for Liberia, after all it is our Country.

By the way my late father was born in Fortsville, Liberia and is closely related to the Reeves. Thank you again for your comment.Tonyhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6827889771692676181.post-67172878669819863192010-11-05T23:31:03.681-07:002010-11-05T23:31:03.681-07:00I am confused aboutyour blog.

We manufactured paper products including tissue in Liberia, we manufactured pencil, biscuit, plastic products,batteries, tooth paste, furnitures, spoons and pots, plates including pans and cups, we made sneakers, manufacture tobacco products, sugar, coffeee and cocoa products.and the list goes on. You really need to post a blog asking why? Just ask th question why and invite the age group from from 1980 . ask them why because most likely, they were dancing on the street on April 12 1980, We have had a 30 years terrorist envasion of progress. We produce in liberia more than any country in west Africa when the "ANIMALS" kill the most progressive leader we had. Think about this,,,On 4/12/1980, the Liberian government budget was 780 mllion dollars. The budget since has never been more than than 390 million in 30 years and even then, they had a budget short fall. Maybe they should just say nah mah yah and beg the afflected parties. me, I don't forgive but, I have nothing to be sorry for. Yet I will "ALLWAYS" SAY THIS.... IF ONE OF THOSE ANIMALS KILL MY PAh or MY RELATIVE.....I will burn the whole god dam country down.

NEW YORK - The stock market shot higher on Monday even as the "fiscal cliff" neared. By the time trading ended, Republicans and Democrats still hadn't reached a budget compromise - but investors were betting that they would.
It was a dramatic day on what turned out to be a strong year for stocks.
The close Monday was a high note in what had been a choppy day for the market, as choppy as the "fiscal cliff" deal-making that has been yanking it around. It also marked a turnaround after five straight days of "cliff"-influenced losses. The Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard & Poor's 500 both climbed more than 1 percent. The Nasdaq composite index rose 2 percent.
Stocks fell at the opening of trading Monday and struggled for direction throughout the morning. The indecisiveness overlaid a day of dramatic budget negotiations in Washington, where lawmakers were trying to hammer out a new budget deal to avert automatic tax increases and government spending cuts that will kick in without a deal.
Stocks jerked higher at midday after reports the bare outline of a deal to avoid the "cliff" had been knit together. The gains faded after President Barack Obama said in the afternoon that a compromise was "within sight," but not finalized. Then, in the late afternoon, the indexes shot higher again. Congressional Republicans and the Democratic White House said they had agreed on some measures, but still had no final deal in hand.
At the close of trading, Dow Jones industrial average was up 166.03 points, finishing the year at 13,104.14. That's a gain of 7.3 percent for the year, its fourth straight year of gains. The S&P 500 rose 23.76 to 1,426.19. The Nasdaq composite climbed 59.20 to 3,019.51. For the year, the Nasdaq rose 15.9 percent.
With the "fiscal cliff" still closing in, investors' opinions about its potential impact varied, making its long-term effect on the market hard to guess.
Some are unruffled. They think even if the U.S. does go over the "cliff," it would be more akin to the anti-climactic Y2K scare than a true Armageddon. The "cliff's" impact would be felt only gradually, they reason.
Others are more concerned. The higher taxes and lower government spending could take more than $600 billion out of the U.S. economy and send it back into recession. Investors would have no good read on the country's long-term policy for taxes and spending.
The psychological impact would also hurt.
"We're having a fragile recovery, with the pain of 2008 still fresh on everybody's mind," said Joe Heider, principal at Rehmann Group outside Cleveland. "It's fear of the unknown. And fear is one of the greatest drivers of the financial markets."
Tim Speiss, partner in charge of the personal wealth advisers practice at EisnerAmper in New York, followed the "cliff" negotiations on Monday and wondered if the U.S. would get its debt rating cut again. The Standard & Poor's ratings agency cut its rating of the U.S. government amid similar negotiations in August 2011, when lawmakers were arguing over the government's borrowing limit. S&P said at the time that the "political brinksmanship" highlighted how "America's governance and policymaking (is) becoming less stable, less effective, and less predictable." Its rating cut sent the stock market into a tailspin.
The other major ratings agencies, Moody's and Fitch, have suggested that they might lower their ratings of the U.S. because of the "fiscal cliff."
"That is, unfortunately, the big story," Speiss said.
It's also one of the only stories. There's been little other news to trade on during the holiday season, giving the "fiscal cliff" drama outsized influence. No major companies are scheduled to report earnings this week. The most significant economic indicator scheduled for this week, the government's monthly jobs report, won't be released until Friday.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose to 1.76 percent from 1.70 percent late Friday, a sign that investors were moving money into stocks.
Some of the best-performing stocks for the year were those that were making up for deep losses in 2011. Homebuilder PulteGroup nearly tripled after falling for five of the previous six years. Appliance maker Whirlpool and Bank of America more than doubled over the year, after falling by double-digit percentages in 2011.
Some of the worst performers of 2012 were Best Buy, Hewlett-Packard and J.C. Penney. All are struggling to keep up with competitors who have adapted more quickly to changing technologies and customer tastes. They were all up for the day, but were all down at least 44 percent for the year.

Every now and then a piece comes out that is so insightful, one must call attention to it. I don't usually run into stories like that on BBC's web site but the following one made me take notice.
The headline "Why catwalk hijabs are upsetting some Muslim women" made me take notice.
A lot of us have noticed that fashion brands have been capitalizing on the hijab-like scarves that look glamorous enough but probably wouldn't pass muster on the Islamic street. Head coverings are supposed to take one's attention away from the woman -- whereas these scarves certainly drew attention.
So I was not surprised that some women are objecting. Better still was how the pros at BBC saw beneath it all. This passage is long, but it sets up some crucial insights.
Dolce and Gabbana, H&M, Pepsi, Nike: just a few of the big brands putting women wearing a hijab -- a traditional Islamic headscarf -- front and centre in advertising campaigns.
The hijab has long been a contentious topic of conversation; feminists, religious conservatives, secularists are some of the online communities that have engaged in passionate debate about what it represents. But this time, online and using social media, it's some Muslim women who are questioning the use of such images.
Tasbeeh Harwees, a journalist, recently wrote in the online magazine Good about a recent viral Pepsi advert starring Kendall Jenner. The advertisement was controversial because of its alleged trivialisation of street protests -- but some Muslim women took issue for a different reason, the casting of a hijab-wearing woman who photographs the rally.
"A multi-billion dollar company was using the image of a Muslim woman to project an image of progressiveness that it may not necessarily live up to," Harwees tells BBC Trending radio.
Then came some really interesting paragraphs.
Pepsi certainly isn't the only company highlighting women wearing the hijab. Nike recently announced a newly designed sports hijab which will hit shops in 2018. H&M used a first Muslim model in hijab in an advertisement while numerous brands and labels have launched "Ramadan collections" in the hope of attracting Muslim shoppers during the holy month.
"Images of Muslim women communicate to their consumer bases that these companies are 'progressive' or 'inclusive'," Harwees says. "Given the political climate, it has become socially expedient to align oneself with dissident communities, and for many people, that's what Muslim women have come to represent."
No kidding. When I wrote up the Women's March in January, I found it odd that Muslim was the new black at this event.
Whereas Muslim women were singled out as highly oppressed, Jewish and Latina women were not. Women who hadn't a clue about how many females worldwide have no choice but to wear traditional Islamic clothing –- or be arrested and maybe killed -– were trying on hijabs with abandon.
I don't believe for a second that the fashion world understands any of the dissidents, whether they be Muslims, Sikhs or part of Black Lives Matter. The moment you make something into a fashion statement, it cheapens the cause and any serious Muslim would get that.
This BBC piece adds a note about women in places like Iran and Saudi Arabia who are forced to cover and who, for the most part, hate doing so, then ends by emphasizing the marketing possibilities of hijab fashion. In other words, the BBC put this trendy discussion into a realistic context. That's good journalism.
I understand how Muslim women want to be fashionable and that it's nice to look nice in a hijab. Maybe the problem is that when it ceases to become more fashion than religious tradition, the effect is lost.
Rarely do secular publications grasp the difference. This time, BBC did.

I truly believe there is no money wasted on travelling. I remember telling this to friends last year, who promptly began to laugh but then stopped and realized I had a point – while also pointing out to me that travel can be really expensive.
Over the past few years, I've had lots of people make comments to me about how much I travel, asking how I can do it, have I won the lottery, how much do you earn, the classic 'must be nice'. It was starting to get to me because at the end of the day, I work hard and travel is something I love to do.
It also got me thinking about travel perceptions, misconceptions, and realities about costs. Yes, travel involves money, but it genuinely does not have to be expensive. Over the years, I've picked up various lessons and tips through experience along the way, trial and error, speaking to friends, colleagues, reading websites, blogs, and magazines. I realized that instead of getting upset when I perceived people to be questioning me, why not share how I plan and budget my travel because spending my money effectively and wisely is important to me! It really doesn't have to be expensive, I promise, and all it involves is a bit of patience and knowing a few tips and tricks. A wonderful trip, long or short, can always be tailored to your budget, priorities, and preference.
I believe there are three stages to any trip:
1) Selecting and Booking Your Destination
2) Trip Planning Ahead of Departure
3) While You're There
Part I: Selecting and Booking Your Destination
- For me, this is often the hardest part because I have such a long list of places I want to visit – where do you even begin?? Sometimes you have somewhere specific in mind, which can be helpful sometimes, such as visiting a friend or event. Sometimes you just want to get away somewhere – anywhere – or want to do a short city break or epic long trip.
- There is one email that I enjoy receiving every Wednesday: Travelzoo's Hot 20 Travel Picks of the Week. It's always filled with some great inspiration. Not only are the Top 20 finds that they scour the Internet for great (free to sign up on their website), but they also have great deals that crop up for your local area (e.g., theatre, spa, restaurants). I've been using this site for years.
- I have signed up for various email notifications with airlines such as Air Canada, British Airways, KLM, Easyjet, Ryanair, Lufthansa, Porter, etc, to let me know of any sales that are on airfare. This is a great source of inspiration (and saving money!).
- Do you have friends living abroad? Family? That can help you narrow your destination down. Or, just dive into your list and start somewhere when a great deal arises.
- One of my new favourite apps is Hopper. This great little app helps calculate flight costs with a twist: it helps identify for you with a high degree of accuracy the best time to book your flight. You can put a 'watch' on a certain flight route you're interested in and it will message you with updates if it goes down, up, or to take the plunge and buy now.
- I recently also discovered a site called SkyPicker, which I used for my flight to Stockholm recently. It identified a fare to travel here for the weekend form London for £66 – how to say no to that! It also has a cool feature where you can put in your starting destination and select a radius (e.g., for me, I will pinpoint London and radiate out across Europe to find the best deals available).
- The one site for flight research I always check out is Kayak – especially for planning multi-city trips as it gathers information from a large number of different airlines and websites worldwide and pulls together loads of options to choose from and customise, finding the best deals and combinations to pick from.
- When searching for flights, regardless of website, check the 'flexible with dates' box (if you have flexibility). This will show you whether it is cheaper or more expensive to fly in or out a day or so earlier or later. This has definitely been helpful to me in the past.
- Connecting flights can often be cheaper than direct. But, consider the money saved against time lost. There are some connection cities I avoid at all costs – NYC and Chicago airports in particular. I have rarely had a flight to or from these cities that has not been delayed or baggage lost. If this happens, missing your connection can be highly likely, which then cuts into your time, cost, and stress levels. Some cities are extremely efficient at connections though – Munich and Frankfurt in particular. But keep in mind that both of these airports are enormous and you need to be focused in finding your next gate to avoid missing your connection.
- Ok, so you've secured your flight, let's work on your accommodation. In many ways, it's all dependent on where I'm traveling and if I'm going with someone or on my own.
- I have had a lot of luck over the past year with using Priceline – specifically, their Blind Bids or Express Deals. The catch with these is that you can grab a fantastic deal for 4 and 5*plus hotels, but you won't know what the hotel is until after you complete the purchase. This can feel risky to many people (myself included) because you want to stay somewhere that you'll feel comfortable and enjoy. But, you can do this using calculated risk:
- Priceline allows you to select the neighbourhood you are interested in and the star level.
- What I usually do then is do a google search for the hotels in the city and/or that particular neighbourhood under the star levels I'm interested in to get an idea of what I might secure.
- Withthe Express Deals, there is a significantly reduced price named; with the Bids, you enter a price, which checks with the hotels to see if they will accept your bid.
- Other sites that I have used are hotels.com, booking.com and Agoda, all of which have found me terrific deals. Agoda is particularly good for finding amazing hotel deals across Asia.
- I've had terrific luck with Airbnb over the past few years, staying in terrific flats in European cities, such as Paris, Athens, and Rome, as well as beautiful villas in Greece. You can find fab places at customizable prices based on your budget. I've never had a problem with the Airbnb properties I've stayed in.
- It works by setting up a profile and requesting to stay at a property. The owner has the ability to select who they have stay at their property because understandably, they want someone that will take care of their place too. Read the reviews of the property and do a bit of research on the area, and select where you'd like to stay. Consider factors such as proximity to transit, amenities, and safety.
Loyalty Programs
- A colleague of mine says that no travel should be 'point-less' and he's right. If you are travelling and/or staying with a company that offers a reward program, sign up for it and get the points. You never know what the future holds as you may end up staying with the hotel chain again or flying frequently with the airline (or affiliates, such as Star Alliance or One World).

The weekly refresh for Bungie's Destiny has come and gone, leaving us with a new Weekly Heroic Strike and a Nightfall Strike to attempt. Both take place in the Summoning Pits, forcing you to battle multiple Hive enemies before taking down the beast Phogoth.
The Weekly Heroic's modifiers include Heroic (more enemies which are tougher and more aggressive) and Arc Burn (Arc Damage from any source is greatly increased). As for the Nightfall Strike, the five modifiers this week include Nightfall (all players dying results in returning to orbit), Epic (more enemies that are more aggressive and have heavy shields), Lightswitch (melee damage from enemies is greatly increased), Angry (enemies won't flinch) and Arc Burn.
The best weapons to equip for both Strikes are Praedyth's Timepiece, Fatebringer, Thunderlord, Patience and Time, Murmur, Plan C and Light of the Abyss. You can check out this walkthrough by Todd Awesome on YouTube for more tips and tricks on how to effectively finish the Strikes.

Last week was quite a challenge on an emotional level, but it turned out okay. At the beginning of the week, I really felt as though I was relapsing, to the point where I had to leave work early. I decided to get back on the green juice and vitamin train and I did. By the end of the week, I started to feel better.
I'm not sure that it was purely the supplements or the green juice, as I may have just been me ability to control my thoughts. The depression that I felt coming on may have had to do with JH and I just returning to "friends", which totally sucks, but, I need to learn not to judge my life based on 1 relationship that didn't work out.
I'm now left with an interesting dilemma; to wait, or start looking again. Waiting just seems too passive, and if I learned anything last year, it was that I am responsible for my happiness. At same time, I also feel like waiting a little bit to see what happens, a very low risk that is totally worth the reward.

Be the joy
To enjoy
Has to be in joy.
Countermind your mind
Counter the resentment
Count the blessings
Count on yourself.
Bad, good
Better, worse
What is it for?
Create what you can
Destroy all cans,
So at least change can give you
Some spare change will be.

Music for the Monster
As the long, wintery month of February begins, the Harrison Center, in partnership with Indiana Humanities, focuses on one of the most renowned pieces of literary art — Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Approaching its two-hundredth anniversary, the story of the frightening yet misunderstood creature has haunted and inspired (and continues to do so) a plethora of readers, writers, producers, including the HCA staff. Recently, our Executive Director Joanna Taft met with Josiah Alstott to brainstorm ways he could contribute to the Harrison Center's mission, and soon he was creating music for MANmade, a Frankenstein group show that opens in Speck Gallery this Friday, February 2nd.
Josiah has been working to develop his art through sound design and collage. For the Harrison Center show, he is creating four separate movements called "Concerto for the MIDI Keyboard and the Internet" with a synthesizer, various electronic sounds, and string music. (Listen to a sample here.) He is also adding spoken word from interviews with philosophers and excerpts from books and movies to add the themes of "terror of existence" and "prolonged agony," both omnipresent in Frankenstein. Josiah chose not to include excerpts from the actual text so that he can represent other artists' feelings and themes that they applied to their work for this show. In addition to the thematic inference, Josiah also incorporates Mary Shelley's ominous and industrial tone throughout the book. He accomplishes this by warping the time and typing in certain phrases/sentences via a "Siri-like" machine that creates robotic, atonal vocals. Thus, through his impressive and creative sound design, Josiah produces a unique and modern interpretation of Mary Shelley's two-hundred-year-old Frankenstein, acknowledging its ominous and anguished themes.
The "MANmade" show, filled with both visual art by various artists and Josiah Stott's music, will be in the Speck Gallery at the Harrison Center, so come and celebrate the story's two-hundredth birthday with us on First Friday, February 2 from 6 to 9pm! The Harrison Center is open Monday-Friday from 9-5, and the show hangs through the 23rd.

Where is the food? Did you say you have food? I need food.
After my normal breakfast – that I've been eating for MONTHS with total satisfaction – I am still hungry. I'm staring at the clock wishing it were snack time. I survived, stuck to the schedule and had a banana. Yeah me! But I'm so ready for lunch.
Here's the other thing. I have always felt like a good water drinker. Especially after I got pregnant, I felt much more in-tune with my body's need for water. This challenge makes you drink a lot of water and I realized that I wasn't drinking as much as I should. In fact, I feel like the more I drink, the more thirsty I am.
The good news is that two, TWO, people told me that I look like I've lost weight today. Yeah 1 pound, you are making a difference!!!
Here's the run down of the day:
Fruit Punch Spark – I love you.
Breakfast is the same.
Snack number one is a banana.
Lunch is the raw veggie salad with chicken thighs.
I did it. I drank two Fruit Punch Sparks in one day. Sorry Pink Lemonade, I just don't really like you.
Snack number two is a small bag of almonds.
Dinner was sooooooo good! SO GOOD!
I found this recipe for Healthy Sesame Chicken at feedmephoebe.com. This was delish! We will definitely have this again.

Four books for me this month but only one that I thought was worthwhile.
Luca D'Andrea - The Mountain (3/10) A promising murder mystery is spoiled by an unpleasant protagonist and a selection of suspects so plausible that when the true murderer is revealed you just shrug your shoulders. The blurb on the cover compares this to Stephen King but for the life of me I can't see why.
Earnest Cline - Ready Player One (7/10) Although I'm a non-geek and didn't get 90% of the references in the book, I found it to be a highly enjoyable adventure novel with good characterisation and some fun humour. My only real issue with it was the sheer volume of games, books, movies, tv shows, etc. that the main character was supposed to be familiar with. There just aren't enough hours in his teenage life to have completed all of them, particularly as he claims to revisit some of them every month.
Glen Hirshberg - The Snowman's Children (3/10) What could have been an exciting novel about a serial killer preying on local kids turns into a depressing story about mental illness. Disappointing.
Various - Four Ghosts (4/10) Three average stories by Ray Garton, Joe Hill & James A Moore and an absolute dog by Peter Straub.

!! Post in process
For my own etchings and etching techniques see Etching Techniques
Origin and printmakers
Etching was used by goldsmiths and other metal-workers in order to decorate metal items such as guns, armour, cups and plates. The technique has been known in Europe since the Middle Ages at least, and may go back to antiquity.
The process as applied to printmaking is believed to have been invented by Daniel Hopfer (circa 1470–1536) of Augsburg, Germany. (See Google images)
In Renaissance Italy with a switch to copper plates, etching soon came to challenge engraving as the most popular medium for artists in printmaking.
Jacques Callot (1592–1635) from Nancy in Lorraine (now part of France) made significant technical advances, attributed with developing:
- the échoppe, a type of etching-needle with a slanting oval section at the end. This enabled etchers to create a swelling line, as engravers were able to do.
- an improved, harder, recipe for the etching ground, using lute-makers' varnish rather than a wax-based formula. This enabled lines to be more deeply bitten, prolonging the life of the plate in printing, and also greatly reducing the risk of "foul-biting", where acid gets through the ground to the plate where it is not intended to, producing spots or blotches on the image. This meant etchers could do highly detailed work that was previously the monopoly of engravers.
- more extensive and sophisticated use of multiple "stoppings-out"letting the acid bite lightly over the whole plate, then stopping-out those parts of the work which the artist wishes to keep light in tone by covering them with ground before bathing the plate in acid again. He achieved unprecedented subtlety in effects of distance and light and shade by careful control of this process.
Most of his prints were relatively small—up to about six inches or 15 cm on their longest dimension, but packed with detail.(See Google images).
One of his followers, the Parisian Abraham Bosse, spread Callot's innovations all over Europe with the first published manual of etching, which was translated into Italian, Dutch, German and English.
17th and 18th century was the great age of etching:
- Rembrandt,
- Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione
- Piranesi
- Tiepolo
- Daniel Chodowiecki
Etching has often been combined with other intaglio techniques such as engraving (e.g., Rembrandt) or aquatint (e.g., Francisco Goya).

9 unsubstantiated claims about brand journalism
Although brand journalism is on the rise, it doesn't have the best reputation. Do you agree with these perceptions?
While everyone can define journalism, this is not the case with brand journalism. Both are forms of editorial content. But a brand journalist's goal is to help a brand appear in the center of an important issue by creating valuable industry and issue-related content.
Definitions of brand journalism vary widely, and unfortunately many people make derogatory and unsubstantiated accusations against it. Here's a list of negative ways I've heard people describe brand journalism.
1. Brand journalism is a form of content farming
If a brand is creating content and wants to rank high in search engines, then it must be a content farm, right?
This logic has no basis, yet people assume this all the time. They may assume this because they once saw a brand deliver bad content. Content farms are known to flood the Internet with content—valuable or not—in an effort to game search algorithms so that the content producer ranks high in search engines. This is no longer easy to do as Google reconfigured its algorithms to sidestep the content farm technique.
The "content farming" claim can be said of anyone creating content online. Everyone wants their content to appear in the top search results, and for people to see and read it. Why would a brand's content be any different?
And just because the content is poor doesn't mean it came from a content farm. Sometimes it just sucks.
2. Brand journalism is pay to play
Traditional journalists are paid to create content within a publication's given editorial spectrum. Brand journalists are paid to write within a brand's given editorial spectrum.
Both types of journalists have editorial mandates, and those mandates are made clear to both the author and the reader. For example, someone reading a Harley Davidson magazine knows that journalists slant the content to discuss Harley and the Harley lifestyle, not how wonderful Honda motorcycles are. That editorial mandate is extremely clear to everyone producing and consuming, and therefore the Harley-slanted content is appropriate journalism.
3. Brand journalism is not journalism
It may be fear of brand journalism or outright jealousy, but I hear journalists I highly respect slam brand journalism by saying it's not journalism. For example, during a SXSW panel session on brand journalism, NPR's "On the Media" host Bob Garfield said, "Perhaps the name for this panel should have been: 'Brand Not Really Journalism: The Rise of Semi-Journalism.'"
That's not much better than the original session title: "Brand Journalism: The Rise of Non-Fiction Advertising." Is it fair to start a discussion about an industry by putting it in the hole?
Sadly, all of the public discussions I've seen about brand journalism question the validity of the industry. Why? You don't see this happening with any other industry. Is anyone asking, "Are doctors really treating patients, or are they hiding behind a lot of expensive machinery?"
The validity question may have to do with some people perceiving the terms "brand journalism" or "content marketing" as oxymorons.
4. You can't trust brand journalism
Most companies want third-party validation for their work because the general consensus is that an article from a third party has more validity than an article written by someone from the company that says the same thing. This is true for marketing, but someone who works at the company can tell the "inside" story, unlike a third-party journalist. Some consumers really value that type of content.
5. Brand journalists are marketers in disguise
There is a dividing line between brand journalism and marketing.
If a brand journalist starts touting a company without supporting evidence, he is no longer acting as a journalist. He is writing marketing copy. A writer knows when he is being a journalist and when he is asked to write marketing copy, and readers can tell the difference.
6. Brand journalists don't hold the same ethics as traditional journalists
All industries have their bad eggs. In a tit-for-tat fight, it is much easier to find unethical cases of traditional journalism than brand journalism. Still, I don't let the stories of Jayson Blair and the UK's News of the World cause you to write off all journalism as crap.
When you do find a case or two of brand journalists creating crap or being unethical, think about the many more cases you know of traditional journalists doing the same or worse. It's not appropriate to bring down an entire industry with a few anecdotal pieces of evidence. A traditional journalist wouldn't do that.
It's up to the individual journalist and media entity—whether backed by a traditional media outlet or a brand—as to how high their quality and ethics will be. Then it's up to the consumer to validate the quality and ethics.
7. Brand journalists don't disclose relationships
I'm sure this has happened. I can't tell you when, and I don't know if anyone else could tell you either, but unfortunately, it's introduced as the "norm" for brand journalism without any evidence.
This year at the PR Summit in San Francisco, I heard AllThingsD's Kara Swisher write off the notion of "paid bloggers." Without any evidence, Swisher said that paid bloggers often don't disclose who's paying them. She then said that if you want to do that, "more power to you."
She was extremely dismissive, and didn't show any evidence to her claim. It's ironic that someone of her stature would behave so unlike a journalist when arguing the journalistic credibility of a paid blogger.
I get the sense that traditional journalists feel they have the right to throw out all the rules of journalism (e.g., who, what, where, when and how) when they speak about brand journalism.
As with anything, sometimes people don't disclose who is paying them. The operative word here is "sometimes." You can't call something the norm if you can't yank out even one piece of evidence.
After the Swisher comment, I moderated a panel at the conference about how to approach bloggers. The issue of whether paying a blogger diminishes the company's or the blogger's credibility came up. I explained that I'm a paid blogger, and I get hired to create content. Simply put, I get paid for my work just like everyone else in the room gets paid for their work. And like everyone else, I disclose who pays me. It's not a difficult concept to understand and accept.
Why are people so bent out of shape when bloggers are paid? Why do they assume that paid bloggers don't disclose their relationships like other people do when paid for their work?
8. Brand journalism is a threat to journalists
"An advertiser that acts like a journalist could be a mole, trying to trick an unsuspecting audience into consuming and believing whatever crap a brand wants to spew," says Kyle Monson, a former technology journalist and editor at PC Magazine turned content strategy director at JWT. This quote echoes his journalist friends' skeptical concerns that he's taken on a new "dark side" role as a brand journalist.
I respond to this concern by asking, "When were you fooled?" When was there a situation where you personally, not the unsuspecting masses, were fooled by something that you thought was purely journalism and it turned out to be advertising?
In the aforementioned panel discussion, "Brand Journalism: The Rise of Non-Fiction Advertising," Monson squared off against Bob Garfield explaining that brand journalism is just a means of teaching advertisers how to be publishers.
"We are not making journalists obsolete by integrating them into agencies. We're teaching agencies and brands how to be publishers," Monson said.
"The marketing guy in me says 'cool!' The journalist in me wants to punch you in the face," Garfield replied.
I find Garfield's reaction shocking because custom publishing—which has been rebranded as "brand journalism" or "content marketing"—has been around for decades. What is it about the holy institution of journalism that says journalists are the only ones who have access to publishing? Even before the Internet made it cheap to produce and distribute content, brands were still their own publishers. Journalists don't have a special license like doctors to practice journalism.
9. Brand journalism is a threat to the ad industry
In my discussion with Monson, he agreed that he gets animosity from the ad industry because advertisers believe brand journalists are trying to change the way the ad industry operates. Admittedly, it's only his anecdotal evidence.
Whether true or not, the traditional means of advertising have become less effective. Forced interstitial advertising is less available. Social media and search are the new areas of discovery. If you want your company to be seen in those spaces, you must create content. Content is the currency of social media and search.
While PR and advertising are great amplifiers, you won't show up in search and social media without content. An advertisement that doesn't provide information or entertainment won't circulate on social spaces and won't come up in search.
Question accusations
I hope that after reading this article you will start questioning these unsubstantiated claims. I would love it if you agree with all my retorts, but instead, I want all readers to act as journalists and question the authenticity of my claims and any other claim made about brand journalism, whether positive or negative.
If the person is a journalist, ask him to back up the statement with sources and facts. If he is truly a journalist, he should have no problem responding to such a request.

Michael Klein "Still" Exhibition:
In Elton John's 1972 hit Mona Lisa's and Mad Hatters the singer opens the song with this poetic serenade: "Now I know / Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say/I thought I knew/But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City." This was an artist pondering the beauty of the world, and its many limitations.
Painter Michael Klein has been exploring similar themes from his studio in, as luck would have it, Spanish Harlem, an arts- and culture-filled neighborhood on Manhattan's northeastern shoulder.
"When you paint flowers, and when you step into the area of beauty, it's so easy to fail. It can look too saccharin or sweet," says Klein from his New York City studio. "It's hard to take those subjects and make them beautiful on a deeper level."
Klein, who has a new solo exhibition opening September 5 at Maxwell Alexander Gallery in Culver City, California, says that early in his career he was taught by artists who were believers in the Boston School of painting, particularly R. H. Ives Gammell, but he quickly discovered limitations to the style within his own work. Klein eventually found Jacob Collins, an artist and teacher who was developing a different style of realism, one that appealed on a broader level to Klein's interests with figurative and still life subjects.
"They were searching for beauty, and it was a profound beauty that spoke to and resonated with me," Klein says. "They did two things that won me over right away: first, the color palette. You hear impressionists and other artists talk about never using black, but I wanted to use black because it was important to the tone of my work. Secondly, there was emphasis placed on drawing, which I loved, and Jacob is an extremely good draftsman."
Klein says he paints from life, using live arrangements he sets up in his studio, but he can easily add to it based entirely on memory. In Studio Peonies, for example, he had originally painted the flowers closed, but after several months he revisited the work—"the peonies were long gone," he says—to paint the flowers opened up, thus altering the very core of his delicate subjects.
"Painting from life is a huge factor for me. With color, I usually try to keep the colors relatively harmonious. I don't want too much color, and I don't want it to be overwhelming," he says. "I want the painting to be about the poetry of the subject."
Other works in the floral exhibition include Pot with Dried Rose and Pink English Roses, a painting with a composition and tonal qualities that Klein compares to a musical arrangement.
"There is always a shadow, always a neutral and always something really chromatic. As things get more into the light, they become more chromatic," he says. "I don't want the works to be bland or dull; I want there to be good color notes. It's like bass and treble. Imagine a flute or something fluttering over the bass. But with all bass, it becomes too heavy. There has to be a balance there for everything to work."

The app allows the users to view and upload the videos up to 60 minutes length
Instagram, the fastest growing social media platform has some different plans for its users. The company has launched a long time rumored IGTV, the app that enables the user to view and upload longer videos. With the intention to compete against YouTube, Instagram has taken a giant step. With almost 1 billion of user base, the social media giant knows that support for the long videos will attract the content makers. We all know how much influence Instagram holds in the social media world and the IGTV app could multiply it.
Earlier the users were restricted to update a video long upto 1 min. As a result of this, the Instagrammers had to attach the link of their full video for their followers. Now, with IGTV, the company has given a different vertical for the content makers to upload videos up to 60 minutes length. The move from Instagram could be harmful to YouTube in the coming time as the video makers now have an option to directly pass the video to their Insta followers.
On June 21, Instagram launched IGTV app during an event at San Francisco. The standalone app from Instagram focuses on the long video content. The users are allowed to upload the videos from 15 sec to 1 hr long. The format of the videos that could be uploaded is MP4. According to Instagram the maximum file size taken by 10 min videos is 650MB, and the maximum size for 1-hour video is 5.4GB. The platform received a warm welcome from the users and the existing Instagram users took no time to install it. In order to push more users to the new long video centric vertical of Instagram, the company also added IGTV feature on its primary app that you must have noticed recently.
Read: Instagram's Releases Offline Mode
Now, the real question arises, how the content makers are going to monetize their video on the platform. YouTube rearwards the channel owner with real cash on getting surplus views, likes, and subscribers. For now, Instagram didn't have any monetization strategy over the new platform. So, you won't be getting any money for uploading your long videos on IGTV for now. However, Instagram needs to come up with some monetization plan if it wants to compete with YouTube.
First, you need to download the IGTV app on your smartphone.
The IGTV app is available for both iOS and Android.
Instagram and IGTV work closely so there will be no need for sign up or even log in if you have the Instagram app installed.
After opening the IGTV app just click on continue.
Once you successfully logged in, you will see the window mentioned below and under the 'For You' tab, IGTV will suggest you the videos that you might like. Besides, there is a 'Following tab' that will show the videos from the creators you follow on Instagram. Under the 'Popular tab' you will find the trending videos. If you want to watch any video just select the video and it will start playing in the background without sound. Now, tap on the screen, and the video will get full screen with the sound enabled.
Uploading a video on IGTV is very simple, unlike YouTube where you need to fill up many things.
For now, IGTV doesn't allow video recording from the camera like Instagram. You can also like and comment on the videos of other users on IGTV. The new app from Instagram is the best place for the content makers with huge Instagram following to share their videos on the go.

Pilgrims Group has appointed John McCaffery as Director for the Middle East following the company's continued expansion in the region.
McCaffery will head up the company's new Dubai office, where Pilgrims offering includes risk management and operational consultancy services as well as corporate training in risk management, crisis management and business continuity planning.
He will continue to grow the Pilgrims brand in the Middle East, particularly within Iraq in the oil and gas and EPCM markets.
"Dubai is the regional base for nearly every major multinational in the world; particularly in our target markets of the oil and gas and EPCM industries," says McCaffery. "Opening an office in Dubai allows Pilgrims to readily access a wide variety of our current clients' as well as a large percentage of our target markets."
Pilgrims will be offering services to clients based in Dubai that conduct operations in the regional geomarkets such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and the KSA.
Its teams will be offering the company's full range of aligned and complementary services that provide a security based outcome for clients, adding significant value to their business operations in frontier and emerging markets.
"We're establishing a regional business unit that allows us to be even more responsive to our current client's needs, whilst increasing our market share in an established, highly competitive geomarket that is replete with security service providers," McCaffery explains. "We will also be introducing new clients in these existing markets to 'the Pilgrims way' with our range of trusted products and services.
"Pilgrims helps businesses reduce their business risk with practical, real solutions. I'm looking forward to developing Pilgrims full range of services in Dubai and should be the first point of call for new clients looking to maximise their security efficiency."
Pilgrims Headquarters is in Surrey, England, with offices across the globe servicing its clients' risk management needs in regions which include the UK, USA and MENA.
