Dreamworld tragedy: Father of Luke and Kate releases statement
Shayne Goodchild, the father of Luke and Kate who lost their lives in the tragic Dreamworld accident on Tuesday has delivered a statement today in Canberra.
'I have been asked to make the following statement on behalf of the families of Kate and Luke.
I am Shayne Goodchild, Kate and Luke's dad. Standing next to me is Kate's partner, Dave Turner, who less than three days ago, lost the love of his life and the mother of their children in the most tragic of circumstances.
I have lost my only daughter Kate and my youngest son Luke. We have also lost Roozi, a man who, as Luke's beloved partner, I considered to be another son Kate, Luke and Roozi were taken so suddenly from us, and in such horrific circumstances, it is difficult for us to even know where to begin. Perhaps some 'thanks' are the easiest place to start.
We cannot begin to express how much we appreciate the outpouring of love and support our families have received, from friends as well as from complete strangers.
We understand that this tragedy has not only directly affected our families, but affected so many other people around the country.
So many of us, like Kate, Luke, Roozi and Cindy, have visited Dreamworld and sat smiling and laughing with our loved ones on the same ride they were sitting on last Tuesday.
We know that there have been candlelight vigils and prayers of support from people all around the country, and we are grateful and touched by this support.
Kate's tragic death has not only devastated Dave, her partner of 15 years, but it has also left her two beautiful daughters, Ebony and Evie, without a mum.
Dave was standing next to the ride holding Evie when this tragic event happened, and Ebony was sitting next to her mum when they were thrown into the water.
Dave not only has to deal with his own grief, but be strong for their beautiful daughters. Our darling Evie, is only 8 months old, and far too young to be without her mum.
And he must be a rock for his oldest daughter Ebony, who saw her mum's life taken. Our darling Ebony is only 12.
Only 24 hours earlier, my family was on the beach, taking Evie into the waves for the very first time. It is truly devastating that Evie will never get to know just what an amazing person her mum was.
We've also lost Luke and Roozi. Luke and Kate were as close as any brother and sister could be, and Luke's loss is going to be felt by all of us. Evie and Ebony have not only lost their mum, the deaths of Luke and Roozi have also taken away two uncles who also loved and cherished them.
Luke and Roozi have been partners for nearly a decade and are a truly inspirational couple to everyone who had the great fortune to have known them. To say "this is just not fair" doesn't begin to express our despair. Their loss will be deeply felt not just amongst our families, but amongst all of their friends and work colleagues.
We would also like to express our condolences to the family of Cindy Low.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Cindy's family, and particularly her son, who was also sitting on the raft with his mum.
Like everyone else in Australia, we want to know what went wrong. We want to know why our loved ones were taken from us in such horrific circumstances. No-one wants those answers more than we do.
The next few weeks and months are going to be incredibly difficult for our families.
In the next few days we have to bury our beautiful children, and for Dave, his amazing partner. Roozi's family have to farewell their incredible and inspirational son and brother. We also all have to help two little girls start to come to terms with the fact that their mum is never coming home.
For this reason, we ask from the bottom of our hearts, on behalf of all our families, that the country give us time and space to grieve, and to farewell our loved ones.
In particular, we ask that the media respect our wish to hold private farewells for Kate, Luke and Roozi. We understand the media interest their funerals will attract, but plead that we are allowed to grieve in private, at this most difficult time.
We do not wish to make any comment about the actions of Dreamworld or its owners at this stage and prefer to wait until further details emerge from the investigation and Coronial process.
There have been some question about whether the company has tried to contact us or offered any assistance. At this difficult time we would prefer that any future contact from the company or the media be made through our solicitor.
Once we have had the opportunity to better come to terms with our losses, we will be willing to engage with the media.
In the meantime we would like to thank the media in advance for respecting our wishes.

Lakers' Bryant has minor knee surgery
Colorado Springs, CO (Sports Network) – USA Basketball announced that Lakers
guard Kobe Bryant had minor knee surgery on Saturday.
Bryant had an arthroscopy on his right knee to remove scar tissue and for
treatment of cartilage, temporarily putting the star out of action. Bryant is
expected to fully recover in eight to 12 weeks, but will remain on the men's
senior national team.
The guard is expected to still attend the team's training camp and pre-World
Championship tour, but will have limited participation.
"We trust that Kobe will have a total and speedy recovery, and we were pleased
that he expressed a willingness to remain as involved with our team as
possible through this process," said the team's managing director Jerry
Colangelo. "Kobe being with the team will add to our team chemistry and his
presence will help provide valuable off court leadership."
Bryant's surgery and recovery will not impact his upcoming season commitments
with the Lakers.
Last year, Bryant averaged 35.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.84
steals per game in 80 contests with the Lakers, who lost to Phoenix in the
first round of the playoffs in seven games.
The USA Team opens training in Las Vegas on July 19.

After blowing a two-goal lead in the third period of the series opener, Washington came back to take Game 2 on Sunday, winning 4-1 as –145 home favourites. Braden Holtby made 32 saves for the Caps in one of his better performances since re-gaining the starting job from Philipp Grubauer two weeks ago.
The Penguins didn't have leading scorer Evgeni Malkin (42 goals, 56 assists) in either of the first two games, due to an undisclosed leg injury. Malkin is considered possible for Game 3 after taking in a full practice on Monday. Carl Hagelin (face) and Brian Dumoulin (concussion) are listed as day-to-day. All three will be game-time decisions.

Weekly Wonder--What's Your Favorite MST3K Episode?/
This probably seems like a weird question for a board game blog to ask, but you'll just have to trust that we have a good reason. And you'll find out what that reason is on Thursday when we have a very special interview. In the meantime...
Seriously, what are some of your favorite episodes of MST3K? And why?
Firestone's Top 3 MST3K Episodes
3. Final Sacrifice: Well, first, it has the drunk "action hero" Rowsdower. Then there's the wimpy lead actor. Oh, and an overacting, over-the-top villain. A ridiculous plot that makes no sense. And don't forget that crazy old coot with the hilarious voice. Plus, Canada! This was terrible in the very best way.
2. Final Justice: There are so many things to make fun of in this movie, it was really like shooting fish in a barrel. But the way the crew just eviscerates Joe Don Baker is what makes this a favorite. I can't hear a fake burp or fart without thinking about this episode. Now that's a legacy...
1. Space Mutiny: We've got a nonsensical plot, special effects lifted from the original Battlestar Galactica, and the weightlifter lead actor who's given amazing nicknames throughout the film. And the "chase" at the end is one of the most unintentionally funny things I've ever seen, including this gem:
Jeremiah's Top 3 MST3K Episodes
3. Boggy Creek II: And the Legend Continues: The IMDB storyline synopsis gives this poetic description of the film: "Professor and students camp out to find Bigfoot-type creature." But Boggy Creek II is so much more! Mad oats, high-tech tracking gadgets, obscenely short cut-offs worn by middle aged men, and, of course, Old Man Crenshaw.
2. Pod People: What's more endearing than a cute, cuddly aardvark-looking space alien that befriends a young boy whose voice is clearly being provided by an adult pretending to be a child? Oh, and if you frighten the cute little space alien or its family, they will KILL YOU.
1. Mitchell/Final Justice: I'm not sure whether Joe Don Baker's buffoonery or Joel/Mike and the Bots' clever wit that makes these so entertaining. Or maybe it's some sort of infinity loop. It's also important to note that friend to Maltese children everywhere, Goosio, has never been the same since Final Justice aired.
Thanks for reading! Give us your favorite episodes down in the comments. And make sure you check back on Thursday for our special interview.

The Caudron G.3 was a single-engined French biplane built by Caudron, widely used in World War I as a reconnaissance aircraft and trainer.
The Caudron G.3 was designed by René and Gaston Caudron as a development of their earlier Caudron G.2 for military use. It first flew in May 1914 at their Le Crotoy aerodrome.[2]
The aircraft had a short crew nacelle, with a single engine in the nose of the nacelle, and an open tailboom truss. It was of sesquiplane layout, and used wing warping for lateral control, although this was replaced by conventional ailerons fitted on the upper wing in late production aircraft. Usually, the G.3 was not armed, although sometimes light machine guns and small bombs were fitted.
It was ordered in large quantities following the outbreak of the First World War with the Caudron factories building 1423 of the 2450 built in France. 233 were also built in England and 166 built in Italy along with several other countries. The Caudron brothers did not charge a licensing fee for the design, as an act of patriotism.[2]
It was followed in production by the Caudron G.4, which was a twin-engined development. It also has a maximum of 66mph or 80hp
Operational history[edit]
The G.3 equipped Escadrille C.11 of the French Aéronautique Militaire at the outbreak of war, and was well-suited for reconnaissance use, proving stable and having good visibility. As the war progressed, its low performance and lack of armament made it too vulnerable for front line service, and it was withdrawn from front line operations in mid-1916.[2]
The Italians also used the G.3 for reconnaissance on a wide scale until 1917, as did the British RFC (continuing operations until October 1917), who fitted some with light bombs and machine guns for ground attack.[2] The Australian Flying Corps operated the G.3 during the Mesopotamian campaign of 1915–16.
It continued in use as a trainer until well after the end of the war. Chinese Fengtian clique warlord Caudron G.3s remained in service as trainers until the Mukden Incident of 1931, when many were captured by the Japanese.
In 1921 Adrienne Bolland, a French test pilot working for Caudron, made the first crossing of the Andes by a woman, flying between Argentina and Chile in a G.3.
Most G.3s were the A2 model, used by various airforces for artillery spotting on the Western front, in Russia and in the Middle East. The G.3 D2 was a two-seat trainer, equipped with dual controls and the E2 was a basic trainer. The R1 version (rouleur or roller) was used by France and the United States Air Service for taxi training, with the wing trimmed down to prevent its becoming airborne. The last version, the G.3. L2, was equipped with a more powerful 100 hp (75 kW) Anzani 10 radial engine. In Germany, Gotha built a few copies of the G.3 as the Gotha LD.3 and Gotha LD.4 (Land Doppeldecker – "Land Biplane").
Caudron G.3s are displayed in several museums, including at the RAF Museum Hendon, the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace, Paris, the Royal Army and Military History Museum, Brussels and the Aerospace Museum (Musal), Rio de Janeiro. One aircraft is being restored at the Hallinportti Aviation Museum in Finland.

High School Basketball
LC boys hold off Mount Baker, head to state
With just over three minutes remaining in the Lynden Christian boys' basketball team's Class 1A Bi-District winner-to-state game against Mount Baker on Saturday, Feb. 21, an errant ball headed for Lyncs coach Roger De Boer in front of the team's bench.
Like any good coach, he showed off he quick reactions, catching the ball, and tossed it back in, joking, "Hey, I'm open!"
Well Coach, that would have given the Lyncs six on the court. Though at times, it definitely seemed like LC had at least that many on the floor, especially when they ran their three-quarter court trap on defense.
"Last time we played them we had a lot of success with the press, so we were going to try to do that for this game to see if we could get them a little rattled," Lyncs junior guard Zach Roetcisoender said. "The first half they handled it pretty well, but we also didn't execute it very well. I think that's what we did in the second half. We didn't get so anxious. We kind of sat back and let them make the mistakes rather than force it too much."
Lynden Christian quite literally stole a trip away from Mount Baker, forcing the Mountaineers into 21 turnovers, 15 of which came via the steal, as the Lyncs pulled away late for a 66-56 victory in a game that was a physical test of wills and much closer than the 10-point margin might indicate.
The victory sends LC (15-8) to the Class 1A State Tournament for the fourth time in six years. After missing out on a trip last year, they'll wait until Sunday, Feb. 21, to hear who they will be playing next weekend, when the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association releases the draw for the regional round of the tournament. They'll enter as the Northwest District's No. 2 seed.
"No one has given them the credit all year — they know that," said De Boer, who admitted to being a little emotional after the state-clinching victory. "They know that we may not have the most talent, but they work so hard. They had so much drive, and we've been through so much as a team, with guys getting injured. To see them rewarded for their efforts, it's just something that as a coach when you've seen the effort and the price they've paid, it's just super rewarding."
Mount Baker (9-18), meanwhile saw it's season come to a close. The good news for the Mountaineers, though, is Colton Ranson is the only senior on the team's roster — in fact he was the only senior boy involved in winter sports at the school this year, coach Rob Gray said.
Gray hopes his young team can use Saturday's experience as a place to start building for next year.
"Hopefully this hurts enough that when they wake up in the morning they want to do things to make themselves better so they won't be in this situation next year," the coach said.
Not that the Mountaineers had anything to be ashamed with in their play Saturday. In fact, quite the contrary as they were extremely efficient throughout the game hitting 22 of 46 shots.
With 4:24 to play, they trailed by only one after Keenan Gray hit a 3-pointer to make it 53-52.
But LC answered with a 3 from Blake Mellema — his third of the game — to stretch the lead back to four.
That started a 7-0 run by the Lyncs that gave them the breathing room they would need.
Defense was part of the run, as Roetcisoender recorded his fourth steal of the game before hitting a jumper to make it 60-52 with 3:46 to play.
"The thing that stands out defensively was at some point we wanted to wear them down and to get more possessions," De Boer said. "Thank goodness we got a few more possessions, because they made the most of the possessions they had. They were incredibly efficient tonight. ... That was a war — a war down to the end. We had just a little bit more at the end. I think our defense was responsible for that."
Franzen ended up matching Roetcisoender with four steals, but seven Lyncs in all recorded at least one.
LC also had four players score in double figures, led by Roetcisoender with 17. Mellema chipped in a 16 points, giving the Lyncs an extra scoring threat that De Boer said was crucial in the win. Mellema also had a team-high eight rebounds. Joining them in double figures were Fransen with 14 points and Jake Poag with 10.
Mount Baker was led by Bass' double-double, as he finished with 15 points and 13 rebounds. Ranson finished his career with 10 points, matching Timothy Soares' total, while Balvanz finished with nine.
"We really struggled to be successful in the summer and the early part of the season," Gray said. "People look at records too much in this league, especially when you're a 1A. It's a process. We got ourselves in position to advance, and then we did, and then another position to advance, and we did. Then we got in this position today. I'm excited about the opportunities for these guys, because they've got this experience and they'll be back."
Lynden Christian, meanwhile, looks forward to what awaits next week — and possibly the week after.
"We've believed always," Roetcisoender said. "We've had a lot of adversity, but we always believed. I think that was the difference between last year and this year. We are one strong team together. We all worked for the same goal together, and we all desired for the same goal."

OTTAWA, ON –– March Networks®, a global provider of intelligent IP video solutions, today announced the results of an independent survey exploring how fraud, customer service and security perceptions are impacting U.S. banking consumer decisions.
Key results from the survey, commissioned by March Networks and conducted by leading market research firm Ipsos earlier this year, reveal that 15% of consumers experienced fraudulent bank account activity in 2016. Banks and credit unions responded successfully, however, with 85% of those consumers saying they were satisfied with how their financial institution handled the incident.
Survey results also show that a continued focus on customer experience remains critical for banks and credit unions when it comes to retention, with 1 in 5 respondents (and a higher 1 in 4 Millennials) confirming they have switched banks in the past because of poor in-branch service.
In addition, banking choices are influenced by how secure consumers feel when conducting transactions, either in their local branch, at an ATM or online. A majority of consumers (98%) felt most secure when conducting transactions at their local banking branch, compared with 92% when conducting transactions online and 85% using a mobile phone app.
Further, 90% of consumers said they feel safer when they can see video surveillance cameras in their bank or credit union, and would choose a financial institution with surveillance over one without, all other things being equal.
Other key findings from the survey include:
"Banks and credit unions recognize that today's consumers want a mix of in-person and online banking service options, and have very high expectations when it comes to security and customer service," said Peter Strom, President and CEO, March Networks. "The positive takeaway from this survey is that financial institutions are meeting these expectations at present, however will need to get even more strategic to retain customers and attract new business in their extremely competitive environment."
For nearly two decades, March Networks' intelligent video solutions have helped many of the world's leading banks and credit unions address real-world business challenges efficiently and cost-effectively. More than 500 financial institutions rely on the company's solutions to enhance security in their banking branches, corporate facilities and at ATMs; proactively identify and reduce losses from theft and fraud; and improve operations and corporate policy compliance. Using March Networks' video-based business intelligence software, which integrates video with transaction data and analytics, financial institutions are also realizing significant improvements in customer service, workforce management and operations.

In the last few years, television networks have worked towards including new media strategies in their productions, but this year's Emmys might top them all. Partnering with the Television Academy and NBCUniversal Networks, NBC just announced the "most social experience ever" for the 66th Emmy Awards.
Participating brands are aiming to make these Awards the most interactive and social to date, which is little surprise after Ellen DeGeneres's explosively viral selfie at the Oscars. Productions like Access Hollywood, E!, Today, and Seth Meyers's Late Night have teamed up to create the most reach and garner the maximum benefit out of their combined social media profiles. For example, Meyers, who will host the Emmys, has tweeted exclusive content like rehearsal scenes over this past week via his @LateNightSeth Twitter handle.
Other brands like Twitter and Facebook have their own plans for the show. Twitter plans to debut a zipline camera that will feature red carpet and pre-show footage, and Parks and Recreation's Retta will be the social media platform's official live tweet correspondent, sharing insights and commentary with some well-placed jokes. The Facebook Mentions Box, a device allowing celebrities to answer questions from fans on the carpet, will also debut. Finally, the Today show plans to have a Vine 360 station, which will capture video to be published on the Today's social accounts.
Other initiatives will also be sharing the latest buzz and photos all night, so unless you're living under a rock, there will be no way you can miss anything. You can watch the Emmys on Emmys.com, NBC.com, and Yahoo.com tonight, August 25, from 5-8 p.m. PST, 8-11 EST.

Social Networks also grow your business
"If we talk about social networks, the first idea that comes to our mind is one private place where we bring our friends together to share what is most provoked by us – both positive and negative – where thousands of webs of friends, followers or connections are formed and where millions of shares are made in a very short period of time.
However, if we go beyond this first idea and look at social networks from a more professional perspective, we will find a field full of opportunities. What else can a company ask for than it can get millions of people together in one place, with a relatively low investment and a platform ready to enhance customer interaction? "
The ECO – Jornal Economia Online gave an interview about the Portugal Exporter 2017, where I was a speaker, along with Fernando Alves (LinkedIn Account Executive) and Professor Adolfo González, with the theme "Social Selling as an instrument for export" . Here is the full interview, by the newspaper itself:
This practice is already being implemented in some companies as an analysis and sales promotion tool, having already been called Social Selling. One of these companies is LinkedIn which, in addition to enabling interaction between thousands of professionals and companies, now allows you to locate an audience, potential partnerships and aggregate information for a more personalized and focused approach to the target.
"It's amazing how fast social networks have grown," says Fernando Alves, LinkedIn Account Executive. "As a concrete example we can consider the LinkedIn platform that was born 14 years ago and has nowadays more than 530 million members in more than 200 countries." Through Sales Navigator, a new tool, companies have access to this estate to implement Social Selling and see sales move forward.
The advantage of LinkedIn
The need to bet on new platforms is intrinsically linked to the advancement of technology. At ECO, Adolfo González, a professor at AESE Business School, explains that "the process of digital transformation is directly impacting the buying and selling process." "The reason we have to sell differently has to do with the fact that we buy differently", says González.
Even so, the difficulty of entering a circle that is seen by many as more private has been singled out as one of the drawbacks of focusing on investing in social networks. For Adolfo González, this is not at all an insurmountable barrier. "Brands will be able to penetrate this circle in a more private way through communication carried out in professional social networks", he points out, listing LinkedIn as "the most appropriate".
In addition to allowing "direct, more efficient, more practical, faster and more scalable communication", as Fernando Alves describes, the great difference of this network for so many others is that "almost 80% of business-to-business buyers see LinkedIn as an effective source for finding potential leads and 59% of marketers see the majority of leads converted to customers through LinkedIn".
"What Social Selling brings back, without prejudice to other aspects, is a speed and precision that traditional communication and sales channels will not allow in most cases." Adolfo González – Professor at AESE Business School

Research article Essay
Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website!
Based upon your request, I have conducted a research article on a potential venture which our firs can introduce and invest in a developing country such as India.
Due to a shortage of healthcare providers and the poor conditions of the healthcare system, many Indians were dying because of the delay in receiving medical treatment, because labor supply of health professionals is intensive in India, the launch of InstyMeds[R] should help significantly resolve these issues.
Recently, a company named InstyMeds Corporation developed their first ATM-Style medication dispenser, "InstyMeds®", which can label and dispense containers of different shapes and size; most drug forms including tablets, liquids, creams and so forth.
InsteyMeds® claim that the dispensers can issue medication in a faster, simpler and more convenient way compared to those of traditional drug stores.
Moreover, these dispensers are user friendly with their touch screen operating systems. For example, once the patient has been seen, the doctor can simply issue the prescription via the InstyMeds® system, therefore patients are only required to enter the barcode which has been assigned under their name for verification purposes.
The dispenser takes care of the rest and the medication will be labeled and dispensed within five minutes [5]. It is an all-in-one dispensing process which can be done at the same hospital/clinic; patients will no longer have to endure waiting times for medications.
Because health professionals are inadequate in India, this is the target sector for this firm to launch InstyMeds®. At present there is an unstable drugs delivery schedule and a shortage of health specialists, patients are required to wait longer time before they receive their treatment. For instance, most of the developing countries have only one doctor and pharmacist per 160,000 people [2].
The absence of health care professionals limits the access of both hospitals and pharmacies to up-to-date medical information; this affects the quality of services. Since the latest information regarding medication is not accessible to the majority of pharmacists, they are heavily dependent upon the inserted package leaflets used as sources of medical information [3]. To prevent pharmacists from engaging these kinds of practices, InstyMeds® will be an advantageous approach to solving this.
Based on the research, InstyMeds® can greatly benefit India within three reasons:
1. InstyMeds® would provide benefit to people in India: Installations of InstyMeds® allows patients to obtain their medicine 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This service is favorable to patients as the local transportation system is not yet sufficiently developed in India.
2. InstyMeds® means to Pharmacists: The company claim the dispensers will handle more than 100 prescriptions per day; this can reduce the work load of pharmacists and so it allows the hospital to become more flexible when allocating their manpower. Moreover, InstyMeds® internal system will prompt pharmacists to re-stock medicine when the dispensers are running out of drugs. As a result, pharmacists will then have more time to consult patients with regards to the usage of drugs; this will reduce, if not eradicate medical errors and ideally deliver patients a better service.
3. InstyMeds® will also benefit the Indian government; the available funds that support the healthcare service are constricted for India, and so the use of InstyMeds® would be an economical way to allocate the resources of healthcare systems. In general, pharmacists often spend a quantity of time keeping track of drug expiration dates, selecting package and labeling, and maintaining stable inventories. InstyMeds® can handle everything as mentioned above so instead of hiring new pharmacists, costs can be saved and used in building up the infrastructure.
Before the InstyMeds® becomes public, it is a great opportunity for this firm to donate some of the dispensers free of charge to some non profitable organization such as "Médecins Sans Frontières", this is an international humanitarian aid organization that provides emergency medical assistance to populations in danger; the organization operates in more than 70 countries.
By offering InstyMeds® to their organization, offers a gesture and a positive image for our company and will promote the dispenser at the same time. I believe the public will commonly use the dispenser in the near future and so it is a great idea for this firm to be the first company to launch it.
InstyMeds®, would be a new business venture of pharmaceutical services in the next ten years and this dispenser is not only beneficial to those people in India but profitable to our firm as well. By investing capital into InstyMeds® while offering free dispenser to the Médecins Sans Frontières, it will develop an investment strategy, which can maximize both financial return and social benefit. InstyMeds® would be considered a socially responsible investment; conveying goodwill to the public and eventually bringing up our service to the next level.
When the use of InstyMeds® is grounded, it will become a new profit center for the firm.

6. Make a list of the descriptive phrases in Appendix 4 (The Seven Ages of Man) through which Shakespeare gives life and distinctness to his pictures. 7. "You regret having left Suffolk then Miss Grenville?" "Indeed I do." "You were born there I suppose?" "Yes Ma'am I was and passed many happy years there--" "That is a great comfort--said I--I hope Ma'am that you never spent any unhappy one's there." "Perfect Felicity is not the property of Mortals, and no one has a right to expect uninterrupted Happiness.--Some Misfortunes I have certainly met with." "WHAT Misfortunes dear Ma'am? replied I, burning with impatience to know every thing. "NONE Ma'am I hope that have been the effect of any wilfull fault in me." "I dare say not Ma'am, and have no doubt but that any sufferings you wencenenc10/7 may have experienced could arise only from the cruelties of Relations or the Errors of Freinds." She sighed--"You seem unhappy my dear Miss Grenville--Is it in my power to soften your Misfortunes?" "YOUR power Ma'am replied she extremely surprised; it is in NO ONES power to make me happy." She pronounced these words in so mournfull and solemn an accent, that for some time I had not courage to reply. I was actually silenced.
The wonder was, how any family upon earth could bear with the inconvenience of its opening as it did, so long!

WHY THE DOVE IS ON OUR VALENTINES A long time ago when there were no white men in our country, but only Indians who lived in the forest, there was a timid little Indian boy. All the other Indian lads loved the dark, so full of stars, and moonlight; but this boy was afraid of the dark and did not venture out of his father's wigwam after the sun had set. The other Indian lads hunted bears, and sailed the swift rapids in frail birch-bark canoes, and had no fear of anything that ran, or stalked, or flew.

Scott and I were trying to walk to the Vineyard Speyer, and we got lost. I saw a young man on the streets, smiled really big at him, and said, "Do you speak English? Can you help us?"
"Yes, I speak a little English." His name was Johannes. Then he added, "But I'm actually from Romania." When he said that, I new we got lost for a reason. I've done several mission trips to Romania, and Speyer Vineyard church is connected with Romanian missions. I thought that out of all the people I could have run into in Germany, I run into a Romanian!
Johannes helped us find our way to the church where we invited him to stay, have coffee, and meet some people from Romania at the Speyer Vineyard. Everyone welcomed him in the church, especially a lady named Ines. We invited him to join us for dinner and stay for the Vineyard conference that was being held. Johannes spent the next few days just hanging out at the church, meeting new people. I had him help me pray for people. We just treated him like one of us and loved on him.
Then this past Sunday, during the Easter service, Reinhard shared the pulpit with me. It was great tag teaming with him. At the end, I gave out several words of knowledge, tons of people responded, and healings started to break out. It was awesome! Lots of great ministry time. Then I found out that Johannes gave his life to Jesus!
We got lost that day for a reason: to bring this young man, Johannes, into the kingdom and community.

There are many reasons that someone might follow a vegetarian diet. It could be on religious grounds, on ethical grounds about the mistreatment of animals raised for the food industry, because of concerns about the safety of meat, it could be that meat is too expensive to eat where they are in the world, or a whole host of other reasons.
Then within the broad term of 'vegetarian' which most people use then there are distinct classes based on what people will or will not eat; some will eat eggs, milk and honey (ovo-lacto vegetarians), some will eat eggs but not milk (ovo vegetarians) or milk but not eggs (lacto vegetarians), or none of the above (vegan). There are even raw vegetarians who refuse to eat food which has been cooked.
Around the world vegetarianism is thriving, with approximately 399 million* people in India alone following some sort of vegetarian diet, although in the US that number drops to about 12.4 million*based on a survey done in 1992, and nowadays almost every menu you see will have vegetarian options for people to enjoy. Those numbers are going to increase too as people become more aware of the way food animals are treated, and the price of meat continues to rise.
Of course the one thing that you need to understand is that you will have to eat some foods that will give you the energy that you need in order to do normal things in life. Foods like eggs are a type of protein and they will help to give you the energy that you need to live.
You will also have to use this energy and use it to exercise. Remember that in order to lose weight you need to have an elliptical machine that is going to give you the right amount of burn that you are looking for.

The government has effectively spelled the end of its plans to introduce a national identity card for all citizens, after announcing they will not be compulsory.
The news comes only three months after the Home Office signed £650 million deals with CSC and IBM, and weeks after the Conservative party contacted suppliers warning them it wanted to scrap the scheme.
A government call for people to voluntarily take up an ID card has produced only 3,500 responses.
The government was preparing to trial the cards for airport workers in Manchester, but has dropped the move after extensive opposition from unions. The cards have already been rolled out to non-British nationals and will remain compulsory for them.
Contracts with CSC and IBM still include extensive work on biometric passports, which are to share many of the back office systems.
New Home Secretary Alan Johnson is noticeably cooler on the ID card scheme that his predecessor Jacqui Smith.
Originally the plan was for ID cards to become compulsory as soon as 80 percent of the population owned one. A fortnight ago, it emerged the Home Officehad delayed the awarding of contracts to produce the cards.
After the government made it clear yesterday that the cards would not be compulsory,
Shadow home secretary Chris Grayling added that "the home secretary thinks it is a waste and wants to scrap it, but the prime minister won't let him. So we end up with an absurd fudge instead."
Anti-ID card campaigners reacted with glee to the news. Phil Booth of No2ID said it was a "humiliating climbdown".
Announcing the change in policy, home secretary Alan Johnson said: "Holding an identity card should be a personal choice for British citizens – just as it now is to obtain a passport."

NAME: Sir Elton Hercules John
YEARS ACTIVE: 1964-present
GENRES: rock, soft rock, pop rock, piano rock
WHY CAMP: he filled arenas and stadiums worldwide, and was arguably the hottest act in the rock world. John was an unlikely rock idol to begin with, as he was short of stature at 5'7″ (1.70 m), chubby, and gradually losing his hair. But he made up for it with impassioned performances and over-the-top fashion sense. Also known for his glasses (he started wearing them as a youth to copy his idol Buddy Holly), his flamboyant stage wardrobe included ostrich feathers, $5,000 spectacles that spelled his name in lights, and dressing up like the Statue of Liberty, Donald Duck, or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart among others at his concerts made them a success and created interest for his music.
His excessive theatrical persona is based upon exaggeration, frivolity, astonishing costumes and homosexual gesture.
FASHION: Elton and Gianni Versace had been very close friends, speaking to each other twice a week and calling each other "bitch". "He was like a brother, really, we were both very much the same" explained Elton about his friend. Elton always considered that he has three brothers: lyricist Bernie, Watford the manager Graham Taylor and designer Gianni Versace.
Versace's involvement grew from clothing Elton in the mid-eighties to helping design the stage, clothes, album and single cover and merchandise of "The One".
Elton had written and recorded a few instrumentals for Versace's shows too. In 1995 for example, wrote some "lyrics" for them, more than lyrics, we could say exclamations that accompanied the music. "Into The Jungle" was reminded for the "Gee-ah-nee!" exclamation.

Carolina Panthers quarterbacks coach Scott Turner wants Cam Newton to make quicker decisions with the football this season.
In that light, Turner told Sports Illustrated that he's fine with the 6-foot-5, 245-pound Newton dumping the ball off as opposed to holding out for the big play.
"With him, on every play, we want to make sure he has a plan and he's following that plan," Turner said. "And to know checking down is OK. A lot of Cam's issues have come because he's so talented that he thinks he can make every play work. And sometimes, it's just not there, so you check down and go to the next play. By holding the ball, sometimes he takes hits or falls into negative plays.
"Making decisions quick, getting the ball out of his hand, that's where, when he improves, the consistency will come. … We're not trying to make him anything he's not. We want him to be the best version of himself."
The No. 1 overall pick of the Panthers in the 2011 NFL Draft, Newton completed his seventh season in 2017, leading Carolina to the postseason for the fourth time in five years.
Newton, who was the 2015 NFL Most Valuable Player, threw for 3,302 yards with 22 touchdown passes and 16 interceptions last season. The 29-year-old also rushed for a career-high 754 yards and six touchdowns.

Development Project - Convoy C8 294Kcd
Silent Thunder Ordnance
The Convoy C8, does it need an introduction? Being an incredibly popular host for thrower modding, we figured it'd be fun to develop an upgrade plan around this host to produce absurd performance. Just for reference, typically modified C8s fail to exceed 180Kcd, and we've never seen someone else pass 200Kcd.
Our goal is to exceed 300Kcd. As of writing, our dev. mule is at 294Kcd. That is good for an ANSI rated throw distance of 1085 meters.
Performance is never without cost. Our optical upgrades have generated some artifacting outside the hotspot, so for people who that annoys this is definitely not your huckleberry, but in this size class, there really is nothing else out there which can compete for throw. You're carrying something almost 50% more powerful than a Dereelight Xsearcher in your pocket.

Additionally, breathability should be high. All these factors are taken care of in the above best waterproof motorcycle backpacks.

Several months ago, we met an ESL student (we'll call him Bryan) who was renowned for his expansive vocabulary. Although he was timid to speak to us at first (he was self-conscious about his accent), once he learned that we shared his favorite avocation, he waxed lyrical about the way he learned difficult and obscure words. During a half-hour conversation, he used the following words with ease: esoteric, visage, avarice, audacity, efficacious, resplendent, litany, paragon, conflagration, and evocation. These words run the gamut of usage and context, but Bryan incorporated them smoothly into his sentences.
Where did this high school student, who openly admitted that he rarely (his euphemism for "never") reads, encounter these words in the first place?
Bryan was as loath to study vocabulary flash cards as to peruse novels. He didn't subscribe to a newspaper or a magazine. His friends weren't prodigies whose parents were renowned lexicographers. He had never even heard of Scrabble.
His secret? He played close to a thousand hours of this popular game:
Yup. No joke.
For those of you who are not familiar with Blizzard Entertainment, it is the game developer responsible for the Starcraft and Warcraft franchises, not to mention the aforementioned Diablo trilogy. These notoriously addictive video games have even led to deaths, so it wasn't surprising for us to learn that Bryan had "invested" countless hours into slaying rift bosses and mobs of demons. But while he was frantically alternating between left and right clicks on his Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum, he was also paying attention to the odd names of gear, gems, and skills required to transmogrify (another term he learned through the game) his character into a redoubtable Nephalem.
These are just some of the words he encountered while burning the midnight oil playing the game:
Our friends at Elite Educational Institute, who specialize in test prep (and therefore know a thing or two about useful vocabulary) recently tweeted a flashcard for the word raiment:
Bryan never saw the tweet, but we are absolutely positive that he knows this word. How? To borrow another famous game developer's motto, it's in the game:
What separates Bryan from hundreds of other people who play countless hours of Diablo III: Reaper of Souls and yet don't have impressive vocabularies is that he actually takes time out to look up the words he doesn't know. Don't get us wrong: he doesn't literally pause the game in the middle of combat and consult Dictionary.com to find out what "raiment" means. Bryan does that during the countless breaks the game allows, e.g., while examining the legendary loot and gear he won in battle before deciding whether to keep or salvage them. Obviously, 99% of all people who play video games do so exclusively for entertainment, i.e., to have mindless fun. But that doesn't mean that you can't learn something while you're raining a bombardment of burning pitch and stone onto hordes of Cuddle Bears. Having fun and learning aren't mutually exclusive. Bryan is living proof of that.
At this point, some of you might be thinking "But what if I don't play video games? Isn't this article completely irrelevant to me?"
Not so fast. Some of you have probably read our article that similarly praised the usefulness of comic books in improving one's vocabulary. Had Bryan spent hundreds of hours reading comic books instead of playing Diablo III, the same thing would have happened.
If you don't play video games or read comic books, you're still not lost. Do you watch movies or TV shows? Watch your heart out, but turn on the subtitles (even if the program is originally in English); doing so will draw your attention to new words. Here are two words that a Japanese-to-English translator used (from "Tokyo Ghoul"):
Do you listen to music? Listen and sing your heart out, but take a look at the lyrics. A band like the Decemberists is renowned for its vocabulary. Even if you've never heard of them, you're probably familiar with Eminem, who CNN reported has one of the largest vocabularies in the music industry. You are bound to encounter a cornucopia of advanced words.
Do you spend a large chunk of time on Twitter? Check what your favorite celebrity has eaten for lunch, but also take a glance at the timeline of accounts such as Dictionary.com, Oxford Dictionaries, Elite Test Prep, and … us! (And if you like archaic words, Haggard Hawks Words has you covered.)
You don't have to do any extra work, other than the time it requires you to find the word in the dictionary and understand its meaning. But here's the important part: after you figure out what a word means, use it as often as you can, as soon as you can. That's easily the best way to learn the word—for life.
By the way, if you love reading 19th-century novels or informative magazines, don't let anyone tell you that they're not fun. Because they are. When it comes to expanding your vocabulary while enjoying yourself, you do you.
What is your favorite way of learning new words?

Held twice a year, New York Fashion Week is a time when fashion girls fill up their schedules and bounce around New York from show to show. While I am taking it a bit easier this year I did sign up for a few NYFW events and backstage shows and could not wait to wear this Hewitt Dress from BHLDN.
This past weekend I checked into the Nomo Soho and it was the perfect place to primp for the shows- the floor to ceiling windows let in the perfect light & I enjoyed doing my makeup in the marble bathroom. After slipping into this form fitting dress I honestly did not want to take it off and started to think of all the events and places I could wear this to. I paired this dress with a nude pair of pumps (similar styles: save or splurge) a lucite bag (from the winter box of style) and grabbed a faux fur coat to throw over my shoulders as I headed out.

Freebie Friday: Hello, Pretty
Hello my pretties! Freebie Friday is back again! I hope that you enjoyed my first attempt at iPhone wallpapers a couple weeks ago. I was bringing a little sunshine during those final rainy days :) In Sacramento we're just getting our first taste of spring. Only a taste though. One minute it's warm and sunny, then a couple days later it's windy and raining. Is this because of global warming or the whole in the ozone? I can't remember. While you try to figure that out I'm going to finish this post. ;) Today's design is a result of a wedding invitation that never happened for my friend Stacy. I hand drew this, pen to paper, scanned it into Illustrator and used live trace for the very first time. Nerdy talk, but very exciting to me! It was just too fun and cute to never be seen by anyone else so here we are. If you'd like this for your own phone use the links below:

I hope you enjoy them! Have a wonderful weekend, I hope that it's warm enough for patio drinking and all kinds of other frivolity!

Giggling kids
It's lovely to see a children's menu with mini portions from the main menu and not a breadcrumb, nugget or chip in sight. The Giggling Squid asked me to review their new children's menu which includes a selection of mild curries, finger food, noodles and rice dishes designed especially with "little people" in mind. I found a couple of little people (thank you Grace and Logan) and took them out for supper at the Bury St Edmunds branch. For £5.95 children get to choose two dishes each which come with free plain or sticky rice. Logan, who declared fussy eater status on arrival went for the Grilled Pork Skewers and Chicken Fried Rice, having first tucked into a bowl of the spicy prawn crackers. Grace with a more adventurous and self assured palate chose Spring Rolls and a Pad Thai with Prawns, which she declared as yummy. Sadly the roti pancakes were not available for pudding (an extra £2.00) but the icecream was, and arrived with some colourful slices of fresh fruit on the side. Portions are very generous, in fact possibly too large for smaller children, but parents can always help out!
- add prawn crackers for £2
- crayons and a colouring competition
- Grace chose Spring Rolls, Pad Thai Noodles with Prawns and Sticky Rice
- Logan chose Grilled Pork on Skewers, Chicken Fried Rice and Plain Rice
- add pudding for £2, ice cream comes with fresh fruit slices

Recently I have been noticing more and more television shows and web articles mentioning the use of the homemade cleaning products. Because of my craziness about cleaning, this really piqued my interest. After a little research, I began to realize that all of the products I see at the store (a different product for every different surface, floor and person in the house) were a huge excess and not necessarily necessary. I checked under my sink and noticed that I am guilty of the excess. I have everything from two types of glass cleaner to three types of bathroom cleaner. Why?
White Vinegar
So I decided to make the switch and produce my own cleaning products. With my main cleaning item running out, I decided to wait until it was finished. That day came about a two weeks ago. Off to the store I went to gather some supplies (baking soda, white vinegar and a spray bottle). I could have used the empty bottle from my just finished product in order to make my home brew, but I decided to buy one with measurements across the side. My main recipe came from the organizedhome.com site. I mixed equal parts water and white vinegar and away to the bathroom I went.
This homemade cleaner performed well. I was quite surprised to see that it cleaned just as well as my store bought mass-produced cleaner, and it smelled better (I like the smell of vinegar. Who doesn't?) This smell went away once the cleaner dried but left behind an awesomely clean bathroom.
Baking Soda
My next challenge was something I have been trying to clean for years. The bottom of my tub. I used cleaners on it and scrubbed and scrubbed but I never seemed to come clean. After reading on the Clean & Green site that baking soda works as an all-purpose cleaner I decided to give it a try. I tossed some white powder out of the familiar orange box, added some water and went to scrubbing with a sponge. In about 10 seconds, I noticed the once white powder was beginning to become darker. The bottom of the tub was actually becoming clean. After rinsing with the shower head, I had to take a step back and admire a job well done.
From now on, I will be checking the above two sites for more natural cleaning recipes to conquer my household product needs.

Understanding the roots of negative behavior, and the neurological changes that cause it, are crucial to putting together a collaborative plan to address said behavior. Young people demonstrating aggressive, defiant, or oppositional behavior have brains that are in a constant state of alarm. Any form of punishment will not register in this state. Rather, finding a way to calm the brain and self-regulate the brain is crucial before implementing any type of discipline. Together with the child, explain how their brain is working (PFC, amygdala, etc.) and together discuss their emotional triggers and possible coping strategies. This process is both calming and empowering for the child rather than punitive. The article "Aiming for Discipline Instead of Punishment" at Edutopia goes on to give several examples of different options for discipline rather than simple knee-jerk punishment.
Discipline, unlike punishment, is proactive and begins before there are problems. It means seeing conflict as an opportunity to problem solve. Discipline provides guidance, focuses on prevention, enhances communication, models respect, and embraces natural consequences. It teaches fairness, responsibility, life skills, and problem solving.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland [With Headphones] (Pre-Recorded Audio Player)
Special Order - Subject to Availability
Spring 2010 Kids' Next List
"This illustration-driven edition of the classic tale appeals to booklovers of all ages. The perspective and design provide a satisfying experience for both the reader and the collector."
— Camille DeBoer, Pooh's Corner, Grand Rapids, MI
Lewis Carrolls enduring tale begins with Alice chasing the White Rabbit down a rabbit hole, where she encounters a world of delightfully eccentric characters like the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, the Cheshire Cat, the Mock Turtle, and the Queen of Hearts. Throughout her fantastic journeys, Alice retains her reason, humor, and sense of justice.
Alice has become one of the great characters of imaginative literature, as immortal as Don Quixote, Huckleberry Finn, or Dorothy Gale. Her adventures appeal to adults as well as children because they can be read on many levels: a satire on language, a political allegory, or a parody of Victorian childrens literature. Many view the story as a fairy tale about the trials and tribulations of growing up or down, or all turned around as seen through the expert eyes of a child.
