As I sit here in the glow from my desk lamp, a lot runs through my head. I'm playing a game online known as Ballot, which carries some similarities to Yahtzee.It's scoring system includes four chances at each category: fours, fives, sixes, straights, houses, and choices (like the Chance option in Yahtzee). I guess my thought process as I play breaks down into three components, that all kind of link.
The first is rather simple, almost a cliche. Life can be like a dice game. We all have "the same nine months in the box," as Stephen King writes in his short story, Fair Extension. And then the dice roll, and our odds are determined. There is a lot we can do to sway the game in our favor, but some of it is out of our hands.
I'll explain my path in a moment, and how it relates back to the "life game" for me. I got the name from League of Legends, a game my good friend enjoys. She is alluded to in the lore of the Fire Child as something as a dark witch. The thing is I don't define myself as dark, as in harmful. I am like the dusk, a blend of light and dark, though more on the side of the bright moonlight than of the darkness trailing in the wake of the sun's departure. I harness the forces of both light and shadow, and am called to work more with warriors like Athena, Sekmet, Maeve, and Scathach (pronounced like Scat-ock); crones like the Morrigan or Bronach (Bro-nock). I have my own six-element system. Earth, water, fire, air, light, and shadow, each with their own aspect to study. Earth and water are magical, and can be both light and dark, while air and fire are self-evolution and social consciousness. The light and shadow interweave with the other elements, even as the original four interweave among themselves. I harness the light and dark energies of the universe. In other words, I am a shadow witch.
For me, karma is subjective. Ripples of every action we take come back to the shore at our feet. Whether they are good or bad largely depends on whether or not we did something that we believed to be right or wrong. So it matters that we stick with what we believe. I am largely a benign magical practitioner, unless someone is threatening or harming my family, friends, or our brothers and sisters in animal and plant form. I will work to deliver lessons, not to destroy out of hand.If I step outside of these self-created morals I live on in magic and mundane circumstances alike, karma can be the patch of black ice that stops me and recalls me to my path. I think this is why the gods grant it to us.
My point in all this is that in the "life game," you have to weigh the risks and benefits to yourself, and sometimes to others. It is best, then, that your self-defined morals and values serve you whether the task before you is magical or mundane.

Wood biomass, source of biofuel and chemical
The project run by the Aalto University is part of the Tekes BioRefineprogram. TEKES is the Finnish Agency for technology and innovation funding. The Biorefine program is developing new competencies based on the strengths of national and the refinement of the biomass-related.
The overall objective of the project is to increase the value of refining of forest residues that can not be used in, for example, the process of the paper pulp. The investigation has been developed by Aadrian van Heiningen and Granström Tom teachers and researchers of Aalto University.
It Butanol is particularly suitable as a fuel for transport because it is not soluble in water and has higher energy content than ethanol. The raw materials most commonly used in the production of butanol have so far been starch and sugar cane.
In contrast to this, the starting point in the study of Aalto University was used only lignocelulosa (also called wood biomass), which does not compete with food production.
Wood biomass It is made up of three main substances: hemicelulosas, cellulose and lignin. Of these three, the cellulose and the hemicellulose can be used as a source of nutrition for microbes in bioprocesses.
During the process that is currently used in the manufacture of cellulose pulp is produced a substance with aspect of black liquor, which can be used as a source of energy. However, this substance is not conducive to microbes.
In the study we present, the pulp manufacturing process altered succeeding - in addition to cellulose- other sugars also remain unharmed. Making so it can be used as raw material to work with microbes.
Wood biomass It is boiled in a mixture of water, alcohol and sulfur dioxide, all parts of the wood - cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin - are separated into clean fractions.
The pulp can be used then to make paper, nanocelulosa or other products. While the hemicellulose is a very efficient raw material for the use of microbes with various applications in the production of chemicals. The big advantage of this new process is that there is no parts of the wood are wasted sugar.
According to the EUrequirements, all fuel must contain 10 percent of biofuels by 2020.
A clear benefit of butanol is that a significantly large percentage - more than 20 percent of butanol - can be added to the fuel to improve it, and without having to make any change in existing combustion engines.
Emissions of nitrogen and carbon from a mixture of fuel with more than 20 per cent butanol are significantly less than fossil fuels.

Auto Zone doesn't care about thier customers. They gave my wife the wrong spark plugs.
My wife got them installed and her Envoy runs bad and gets poor gas mileage. The manger of the Auto Zone store said she needed the plugs back with the boxes (which were thrown away) or I have to buy new ones ($35.00) and pay to get them changed again. She also said I would have to put on a claim and maybe get some money back. I am in the military and only her for a week and this claim will take weeks.
I cannot take a chance that they will take advantage of my wife again. I will never spend a cent in an Auto Zone again.
Monetary Loss: $35.
same thing happened to me...
Autozone sold me the wrong brake part today (January 14, 2016). Nothing has changed, nor will it.
AZ is poorly run from the top down. The guys behind the counter are paid diddly squat and poorly trained. The upper management is the real problem. They don't care.
Vote with your dollars and shop elsewhere are my thoughts on the matter. I will do just that.
I buy a lot of auto parts because I am responsible for a fleet of cars/trucks. Vote with your dollars and tell others of your experience, as will I...
I have a check engine light on a 2005 Honda Civic EX. I get the code read at my local Autozone, on Touhy near Western (for people in Chicago, that's Rogers Park).
They read the code as P0134, which means I needed to replace the A/F Sensor 1 (pre-catalytic converter). So they sell me what their system says is sensor 1, which is actually an oxygen sensor that goes on the catalytic converter. After some research online on how to replace sensor 1 and realizing they gave me the wrong part, I head back to the store to explain. This time I speak to a grey shirt, a member or manager, and he insists that they system lists the sensors in order, and that sensor 1 (O2 sensor) is on or after the catalytic converter and sensor 2 (A/F sensor) is near the engine block, before the catalytic converter.
After a few minutes of simple research online, and asking my brother who is ASE certified and works at a different Autozone in Arkansas, it was pretty simple that in ALL cars, sensors listed as 1 are upstream (closer to engine) and sensors listed as 2 are downstream (further along in the exhaust). They refused to admit they sold me the wrong part and continued to insist that sensor 1 was an oxygen sensor and not an A/F sensor, like the error cold said. This is not an issue with Autozone, per se, but with poorly trained or lack of knowledge and poor customer service from the staff. I am going to another location and making sure to contact the DM.
My brother goes to show that it's not Autozone that sells you the wrong part, it's the poorly trained staff you might encounter who are trained for using their computer systems but are not knowledgeable of actual real world issues. There is no engine out there that I know of that doesn't follow the simple logic of numbering air and/or fuel sensors by their placement in the stream.
Very frustrating but glad I was able to discover their mistake. Maybe they'll learn from it.
I have a 2002 ford ranger that started to misfire, so I decided to go to autozone for new plugs and wires. I did one plug at a time starting with cylinder 1.
I would remove the first and then put it in my toolbox before cracking the box of the new plug. After removing the new plug from the box I gapped it and then installed it. I did that one after another until all 6 were in. Long story short autozone sold me the wrong size plugs and now my truck engine has lost compression because the plugs were too long and actually broke off the tips of the plugs into my cylinders.
The broke tips scored the inside of my cylinders and now I need a new engine. Am I to blame for this or should a store like autozone be reliable for this absolute disaster?
I had a similar problem this week. I went to auto zone and ordered a front passenger side brake caliper for a 2005 Chrysler 300C.
I received the brake caliper, and installed it in my vehicle. However, when I tried to bleed the brake lines, I could not get a firm brake pedal. Upon further examination I found that Auto Zone sold me a brake caliper that was intended for the the driver side. Look it up for yourself.
Auto Zone sells part number C703 to all customers asking for a front passenger side brake caliper for the 2005 Chrysler 300C. C703 should be installed on the front driver side. They sell C702 to all customers asking for a front driver side brake caliper. C702 should be installed on the front passenger side.
I wonder how many people out there have had this same problem. Hopefully everyone caught Auto Zone's mistake before they put their vehicle back on the road. How long will it take Auto Zone to correct their computer system on which they rely so heavily on? Proper brake components are critical to safe operation of a automobile.
I will never trust Auto Zone again. I value the life of my family, and others who share the road, too much to ever buy another part from Auto Zone!
Dude, if it's a Chevy you need to put the $7 AC Delco plugs in it or it won't run right.
P.S. Let the mechanic or another man handle your wife's car.
Auto Zone has always treated me nice. But if I screwed up, I have never asked them for a refund. Did you want them to give you your money back without a return, maybe pay for your labor too?
Whomever put them it should have recognized that they were the wrong ones, and told her then. But I don't know of too many shops that will put in customer plugs and do any warranty too. Now you are in a mess.
It would have been easier to simply let whoever is doing the work buy the parts, then THEY are reponsible for the installation and the parts if it is wrong.
You wife chose to buy the parts, unfortunately the buyer is responsible for the problem.
Same in any business. Bring in a patty of meat at a restaurant, and then complain the next day of the food being bad, see what happens!

Thomas Merton on Poetry
- Sacred Heart University
Audio CD Set:
Audio Download:
Availability: In stock
Thomas Merton was a towering literary genius. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the brilliant series of talks he gave on poetry near the end of his life (1964 and 1968). Recorded during the last decade of his life, these newly remastered talks recorded by Merton give you the rare opportunity to take him as your personal literature professor.
In this curated collection, Thomas Merton's inimitable teaching and powerful speaking will inspire your heart and mind as much as it did for the monks who listened to his talks at the Gethsemani classroom his hermitage. A celebrated poet and lifelong lover of the written word, Merton channeled his extraordinary literary knowledge into these lectures. Whatever your level of familiarity with poetry, hearing Merton in his own voice will invigorate your imagination.
With his trademark eloquence, Merton explores how poetry illuminates the human experience of love, suffering, and spirituality. Under his guidance, you will look at poets like William Blake, Gerard Manley Hopkins, W. H. Auden, Charles Peguy, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Thoroughly in touch with contemporary society yet rooted in monastic life, Merton provides a unique perspective on classic literature.
As you will discover, Merton saw poetry not only as one of the most profound modes of human expression but also as a way to encounter God. A brilliant author himself, Thomas Merton possessed an unparalleled appreciation for these poets' work.
Let the words of this masterful poet enlighten you today.
This set includes an afterword by Thomas Merton biographer and literature professor Michael W. Higgins.

In these conferences, Merton's thinking moved from cloistered monastic life to issues of social justice and interreligious understanding. A spiritual sage and guide for countless men and women, Merton struggled with complex questions about God's existence and the role of organized religion.

Interview with Veronika Reinert from BASI HQ about her recent ProBridge Program experience
How long have you been a Pilates instructor? I completed my first Pilates certification in 2007, so I'm at 11 years. What made you enroll in the ProBridge Program? When I was researching different comprehensive teacher training programs many years ago, BASI was on my radar as a program I would be interested in going through. At the time, however, circumstances and timing steered me towards a different teacher training program...
The Ten Principles
In his book, Joseph Pilates said, "Since we live in this Modern Age we must of necessity devote more time and more thought to the important matter of acquiring physical fitness." Our study guide says that he was ahead of his time, but I think that he was actually just keeping to older traditions and ideas that had just begun to slowly fade from society's consciousness. It may seem silly that the book's two opening assumptions, that 'civilization impairs physical fitness' and that 'contrology restores physical fitness' led to hours of thought on my part because they are simple assertions. But behind them there is a wealth of history and time tested truth, and yet, when Joseph Pilates proclaimed them, I do not think people realized how true they were. They could still remember a time when work/ survival required hard physical exertion and the only people who could avoid hard labor were the wealthy. A life without it was desirable. It meant that you had 'made it.' I don't think people wanted to believe that becoming more sedentary was bad for them.
For the Love of Pilates - Thank you!
When you hear the word symposium or conference, the normal inclination is to dread the long periods of sitting and visualising death by power-point. This event was different – very different. "The BASI family", a term we often refer to, to express how supportive and close-knitted we all are although scattered all over the world. This Symposium was indeed like a reunion of brothers and sisters.
LFTL, SA Impressions
Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to travel to South Africa to attend the Learn from the Leaders Symposium held in Pretoria. I am so grateful I had this opportunity and I truly believe that the BASI South Africa team put together a very memorable event. I can only imagine,how much effort, time and dedication was put out there in order to organize everything. And, I would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone involved in making this happen.
A Country Divided, A Community Divided
Whatever side of the political spectrum you sit, no one can deny the "tribalism" that exists in America today. We have been forced to take sides and have been driven to the extremes of those sides. It is with sadness that I observe that the Pilates community is a microcosm of the tribalism we see in politics.
BASI Faculty Ed Botha, Shares His Mentor Program Experience
This September I made the journey from Sydney to Newport to attend the Mentor Program. There were a couple of reasons why this trip proved to be extra special. Firstly, I was given the opportunity to assist on the Program, which is obviously any BASI faculty's dream come true.
An Interview with Sheri Long
Most importantly never stop learning, I will always be a student first and a teacher second.
BASI Pilates Grand Opening Round 2
BASI Pilates is a rainbow community. We are a family that spans the world, and in a world so divided we are a family that welcomes – with wide open arms – all people!
Thank You Message from Rael Isacowitz
The true impact of the day went far beyond the building alone. It was the love, positive energy and unity that was abundant. The underlying message throughout the day and evening was that we are a community, one that spans the world. We are a family that welcomes – with wide open arms – all people! With representation in over 35 countries, BASI is a rainbow of cultures, religions, genders, creeds, colors, backgrounds – in a phrase we are "one for all, and all for one".
BASI Pilates Grand Opening Celebration
August 18, 2018 was an important day in the history of BASI Pilates. It was the Grand Opening of our permanant home in Newport Beach, CA. In order to celebrate this milestone achievement we opened our doors to our community, clients and friends. We had a day of Mat classes taught by BASI Faculty including Rael, treats from local businesses, and of course lots of fun! Enjoy the pictures from our Grand Opening celebrations.
Legitimizing Pilates as a Vocation
Many of us started our career in Pilates as a hobby or a side gig as we pursued our profession. Even my mom teased me about my Pilates career asking when I would have a "real job". And yet, Pilates has evolved into a full-time career for many of us, regardless of our position, be it independent contractors, studio owners or teacher trainers, to name a few of the many careers and hats we wear.
My First Pilates Mat Class with Rael Isacowitz
When Rael, and Mereille have invited me to be with them at the *Art of Life and Movement Retreat*, I said yes right away. I've heard of Pilates before and how healthy it is for your body and mind, and always wanted to know more about it. Learning from one of the best in the whole world was the best way to be introduced to Pilates.

Not being a good enough mom to my two year old son
Not being a good enough wife to my husband of five and a half years
Not being a good enough child of God
Not being enough.
And I can bet that, as a mom, you might just be feeling the same exact way.
You see, I have a terrible habit of wanting to do everything and please everyone.
Yes, I'll admit it: I'm a co-dependant-people-pleaser.
And here's the secret that I wish I could beat into my head: God never intended for me to do all and be all.
In fact, Paul even talks about it in Galatians 1:10:
"Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be servant of Christ"
When I stumbled upon this verse it was like a complete God moment- just the right message at just the right time. The words seemed to jump out of that verse and it penetrate my heart like a hot knife.
So often I'm trying to win the approval of my friends and other people around me.
I do things, say things and try to be the person I need to be to "measure up" to the standards that I think they've set for me. And so I set myself up for failure every time.
The truth is that most of the time those "standards" are poor assumptions.
And the most important truth is that I should be seeking God's approval.
And do you want to know the wonderful thing about that?
There is nothing I can do or not do to change God's unconditional and infinite love for me. He loves me just as I am.
Whether my house is in order or it looks like it was hit by my two-year-old tornado..
He loves me.
Whether I have 20 minutes of quiet time with Him or just barely get through a small prayer…
He loves me
I don't have to measure up. I don't have to do it all. I am enough, because God loves me.
And He loves you the same way.
So what do we do with this? Daily we pray and ask God to speak His truth. Daily we ask what He would have us to accomplish- not for man's approval, or our glory- but to follow after God's heart that we may draw people unto Him.
So let us go with a passion and a freedom that comes from knowing God loves us and His approval is all we need!

"Total pension scheme deficits are slightly down on a month ago, but deficits are still significantly higher than a year ago. There are signs that pension schemes are increasingly implementing LDI solutions to hedge out interest rate and inflation risks – even though this means "locking in" to current yields. But with markets looking increasingly uncertain, companies and trustees are quite reasonably concluding that running significant risks on interest rates and inflation (and thereby betting against market prices) is a mug's game which is best avoided. "Even if LDI solutions are increasingly reducing interest rate and inflation risks, companies and trustees are still in for a "white knuckle ride" in markets, as pension scheme deficits swing up and down with every twist and turn in the saga of Greece, its debts and the European currency union. Beware Greeks bearing gifts (or bailout proposals) seems to be the lesson being taken to heart by the EU – and possibly too by companies and trustees of DB pension schemes." - ENDS - At 31 July 2014 Charles Cowling Director email@example.com 0161 242 5388

Day 226 Project 365
Boxed in my body…
I know I mentioned this before but I have fibromyalgia. It's a bad day for it today and I feel so boxed in my body I just want to scream! I'm sorry for the rant that follows but I guess it's better out than in and it just has to come out or I think I will go totally crazy.
It's like being in a constant war with myself and I am losing at the moment. I want out of my body and out of my skin! I want to feel like everyone else and be like everyone else! I want to feel a light touch and not feel pain and itching from it. I want the sheets of the bed to move over me and not feel it scraping across my body. I want to feel my hair on my face and not be tickled and itched by it! I want the cat to sniff me with his cute little pink nose and not be repulsed by how it feels. I want to cry and not have the tears tickle. I want to get goose bumps and not feel prickly pain from them. I want clothes to brush my skin and not feel it! I want my doctor to care enough to actually try to do something! I just want to feel normal…
Do I want too much?
Skin… the largest organ of the body.
BLAH! sorry for all the bitching….

While city-breeds like us were looking for a house in the serene mountains, hoards of talented youth from the region were migrating to bigger cities to earn a living. Dhiraj Dolwani (CEO-B2R Technologies, Engineering post-graduate from BITS, Pilani, with 17 years of experience in the industry)
Around 3 years back, Mr. Dhiraj Dolwani was on a trip to Uttarakhand. The nature lover visited several known/unknown places near Nainital, Bhimtal, Mukteswar, and while looking for a holiday home in the Himalayas, the idea of setting up a rural BPO where he can employ local young graduates in the hills came up in his mind. Because he always thinks that a peaceful mind cultivates dynamic ideas.
He discussed the idea with Venkatesh Iyer, an IIM-A graduate and an ex-colleague, and was readily accepted for implementation. The two set about giving shape to the concept and in five months, B2R (an acronym for Business to Rural) Technologies emerged (see Figures 1 and 2).1

Inside B2R systems office, one of the finest workplaces to enjoy worklife
In the last few years, the BPO segment has been focusing on re-engineering itself in order to deliver transformational impact to customers. A 'Verticalised' approach has been a key marketing strategy – developing in-depth capabilities across the entire value chain in specific verticals. BPO firms are also increasing their onshore and near shore footprint to enable customer entry into local markets; firms have also been actively implementing non-linear growth initiatives that ensure higher realizations for service providers, while controlling costs, facilitating faster time-to-market and improving satisfaction at the clients' end.

Everyone has the experience of life, and each one is different. Some have nice experiences the pleasant one others have the opposite. This experience of life makes us what we are in our lives. The person we talk to and the person we see is just the combination of all the experiences, realities and facts one had in their life.
Life is full of experiences, good and bad, flowers and thorns but it affects us all. It reflects on our faces. To live your life is just like an art and that art is not the one we can have from someone or we can't get any training for that. This is the art comes within and this is the art which makes and ruin our lives. Some people are good at this but most of us are not I believe. Some people know how to cope with it but mostly don't know. I had read that Life is not a bed of roses, at that time I wondered why, but as the human grows up one realizes that somehow its true. Life makes us sad and makes us happy, makes us feel to do something and then we get fed up with. Life is a rose but with thorns around. Some say life is beautiful and some say life is unpleasant. Both of the groups are wrong. Life is what you have and what you experience. It's neither beautiful nor unpleasant. It's just LIFE, have to live and go on because life never stops. It's just there to live. The art of living life is a bit strange. Sometimes we feel ok to do something and then regret. And sometimes we don't feel to do something and then again we regret. It's the game of having choices. What you select and what option did you have. The options are also made by you somehow. This art of living life is not the easy one. It's the struggle, it's the game of choices and it's the trick how you get you shots done. Just like a garden full of flowers looking around but thorns hidden inside.
It's just like the sky looks like full of beautiful stars but in reality they are pieces of rocks.
Illusion inside and trance outside. Similar things, but different experiences.
Many faces of people, many faces of life itself, many faces of one self, many face of the world and everything. You can't see what you wanted to see, and you can't see have what you wanted to have. It's like a double game inside and looking single outside. It's different
every time. Some of us want sympathy; some wants love, some wants time and space, some want a shoulder to cry, some want sincerity and some want all of this.
But everyone gets the mismatch and the different and wrong option. But still some are there who get the perfectly right option. That's how the world works and the life goes on. It never has stopped, it has to go on and that why it is called LIFE. And for us LIVING is the only option. How beautiful and strange at the same time.
Everything is linked and related here. Everything has some logic hidden or shown, bitter and sweet, but everything is just fair, that another thing if we can't see the logic.
This world and the life are full of lies and truths, you never know. Its full of hidden realities and shown lies you never know, it's full of darkness and light you never know where it is, the thing you can do is to have experience and the understand that how to know them in future.
Good and bad both happens to us, every day every night. We cry and we blame, sometime others and sometime ourselves. We cry on our loss and we feel happy on achieving something. The truth is that we cry on our loss and we feel happy on others gain. That's called life, and that's how this world works. But the real thing is still hidden. Something happens for something other to happen. And because of the things the life goes on. A true but strange thing. We never can understand what's going on, why it is going on and how is it going to stop. But everything and every chapter close after sometime. No matter you do something or not. That's your choice of living life and the art you understood to live. There are always options. And different results for different options, that's the luck that which one are you going to pick. But every experience counts in its own way. Every experience has its outcome good and bad. And every experience takes you one step up in your life. I have realized that no matter what happens in life and what comes to us is making us strong and a better human. This only happens when you are there to experience and to fight with life itself. Life is everything to us, a friend, an enemy, a sincere person and the boss itself. Tests us, helps us, gives us experience and then hits us on our back. We can't see that it's coming. Experience is the main key. Always stay ready for every kind of person a life is to us.
The most important and the most reliable quote for life is the slow and steady wins the race. It's the perfect and ideal thing to do for us if we ever get confused. It would take time for sure but the result would be amazing.
Sometimes we want something else from life. Love, friends, honesty, sincerity, shoulder but are not able to get it. This is the decision of life itself. Sometimes things come with some advantages and disadvantages. Some time we never know the consequences. Every one want the perfect thing no matter it's good for them or worst. Always go for the one you think is best for you. When you pick wrong you are taking some ones else thing in real. And that person has to bear loss on the other hand, and you too in . We never know who that person would be but still we take the wrong choice. We never know what would be the results still we go for the wrong option. That's the experience of LIFE. It's a complex things seems very easy. It's a diamond having nice cuts and shapes only if someone is there to shape it. The good and experienced person. The cutting period is tough; it's hard and highly skilled. But the end result is more than enough. Same is the LIFE, its tough, hard, needs skills and the art of living it but the end result would be more than enough if you did all the steps in a right way.
Many thing matter us in different ways but still all of the things are common in all of us. We never can deny any of them. Most of us give priority to money, few gives to family, some gives to LIFE itself. How strange, we all live in the same world but with different preferences. Same needs but different uses, similar things but different uses, same experiences but different ways to feel, same incidents but different understandings. That is called HUMAN. The human we see, we talk, we walk with.
Different faces same mentality, how strange!!!
A thing which seems same is different and a thing seems different is same. That's how the illusion works and that's how we get caught.
Different things come together makes our life, gives us experiences and the life goes on.
The combination of happiness and sadness, combination of smiles and tears, combination of sunshine and darkness and combination of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Everything is there is make is simple but complex, pleasant but unpleasant, laugh but tears along. It's just the balance of everything. Everything goes around comes around. Tears come free with smiles, loss comes with profit, love comes with hate, life comes with death and light follows darkness. We can't feel what we have unless we lose it. We never respect things which are free, and we never forget things which we were never able to get. That's the reality of a human. It's hard but we always do that. That bitter but real.
The one loves us is not ever important to us, and the one hates us is always important. Free things are never important, never makes happy, expensive things are always in attention and spotlight. It's all about materialism, and humans are always the one who start this. Money, status, brands everything counts but the real and sincere person is never in the list. Car counts but a true love is never bothered. People always go for the wrong choices. Knowing the reality and the results still greed is there in the blood.
To have a grip on oneself is another art; it's a part of LIFE. Art is never learned, it comes within. Art is something you get from experience, and you can't have it without experiences. Always remember that what goes around comes around, be ready. Go slow but consistent the results would be amazing. And everything happens for something to happen next; here things are linked with each other. They seem easy but they are complex. And the experience you get takes you one step up towards LIFE, the art of living it and most importantly the humanity.
Reality of Life
Everyone has the experience of life, and each one is different. Some have nice experiences the pleasant one others have the opposite. This experience of life makes us what we are in our lives. The person we talk to and the person we see is just the combination of all the experiences, realities and facts one had in their life.

Where We Work: JAMAICA
Of the approximately 4,200 prisoners in Jamaica, nearly 3,000 are in the country's two largest prisons, St Catherine and Tower Street Adult Correctional Centers. Within these prisons more than 40 prisoners have been identified with HIV infection, but care and treatment is intermittent from a visiting physician. Clinical outcomes have not been measured and many prisoners shun testing and treatment due to stigma of HIV infection. HtW together with the Jamaica Department of Correctional Services, has identified the need for HIV program management, case management, peer education and discharge planning. A program manager and care coordinator will ensure that patients with HIV infection receive regularly scheduled care and treatment while developing a campaign including prisoner peer educators to encourage testing and decrease stigma.
A recent grant from the Gilead Foundation entitled "HIV Care and Treatment in Prisons of Haiti, Dominican Republic and Jamaica", has enabled HtW to increase its presence in Jamaica prisons to conduct exams, treatment and other services towards the prevention, identification, and treatment of infectious and contagious disease, particularly HIV and tuberculosis. Through this new grant HtW will reach more prisoners throughout additional prisons in Jamaica and work more extensively with the prison authority toward strengthening their capacity to deliver quality healthcare.
In 2007, the Jamaica Department of Correctional Services worked with HtW and the International Corrections and Prison Association to install and operate a telemedicine program at the Tower Street Prison in Kingston. This is one of the first successful implementations of prison-based telemedicine in any resource-poor country.
Telemedicine, through the use of computer, Internet, camera and sound, enables doctors with particular expertise -- based in Jamaica, or abroad -- to consult on difficult cases or in making diagnoses. The patient is presented onscreen for a medical interview and viewing of their condition. Prison medical staff can engage in discussion with the consulting doctor via the screen as well. Telemedicine allows doctors in prison systems to consult with HIV Specialists inside their country or abroad where access is otherwise limited.
HtW provides regular, ongoing, specialty consultations via the telemedicine equipment for those prisoners with complex medical needs including HIV infection. The service allows prisoners access to specialty care while reducing security risks and costs that would be incurred if the prisoner needed to be transported off-site for the consultation. The use of telemedicine has improved health outcomes and become a model for other prison systems. In 2010, HtW delivered a presentation on telemedicine at the 12 U.N. Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice in Salvador, Brazil, with a live connection between the conference site and the Tower Street Prison.
HtW held the first-ever Prisoner Networking Zone in the Global Zone of the XIX International AIDS Conference held in Washington, D.C. in July 2012. During the HtW's presentations, Dr. John May of HtW and Dr. Donna Royer-Powe of the Jamaica Department of Correctional Services demonstrated telemedicine in Jamaica's prisons. Dr. May connected live with the medical staff in the Jamaican prison and they were able to speak to each other as well as see each other via the telemedicine technology. (See photo)
Health through Walls' Medical Missions
Each year HtW joins faculty and students of NOVA Southeastern University's (NSU) medical, dental, pharmacy, physical therapy, and optometry schools for annual medical missions to Jamaica that include service in Jamaica's prisons. The 2010 trip was postponed due to security concerns and instability on the island, but support from HtW to the Jamaica Department of Correctional Services continued.
HtW Board Member, David L. Thomas, MD, JD, NSU Chairman of Surgery and Chairman of Division of Correctional Medicine performed surgical procedures at the prison while students observed and learned. See 2009 photo. Additionally, the NSU dental faculty and students provide care and treatment in Jamaican prisons during their annual trips to Jamaica. See 2009 photo.
Providing Reading Glasses to Prisoners
For the last few years HtW has been partnered with the Reading Glass Project, an innovative program that encourages the distribution of reading glasses, particularly to workers, artists, and families internationally. Their reading glasses have been distributed in 43 countries. Reading glasses are particularly important for prisoners in Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica where prisoners often spend long hours without sufficient lighting, and most have never had their eyes examined for glasses. HtW is provided with instructions and eye charts to fit glasses with the people who need them. Where we can, we work with a visiting, volunteer optometrist to dispense these reading glasses. Once the prisoners receive their glasses they are finally able to see details up close and read letters from family, legal documents, their medication instructions, or health information flyers, books, etc.
HtW conducted eye exams and provided reading glasses to prisoners some of the Jamaican prisons. HtW's Secretary/Treasurer, Mark Andrews, shared with the Reading Glass Project that "One of the prisoners said he had been waiting for a pair of reading glasses for FOUR YEARS! He wanted me to thank reading glass project one thousand times! As you can see, we also gave the guards reading glasses... after all the prisoners got theirs."
In the Dominican Republic, HtW held successful exams and distribution of reading glasses in the LaVictoria prison. HtW's coordinator in Haiti, Karine Duverger, wrote the Reading Glass Project: "The medical parade went very well at the Women's Prison in Petion-Ville, Haiti. We completed the entire prison, 247 women, in 3 days. Each prisoner now has a medical record. Adding to our physicians and nurses, we had a dental team and an optometrist on one day. You cannot imagine how we were happy to have the reading glasses available to distribute as the optometrist was doing his screening. Health through Walls wants to say thank you and on behalf of all the inmates that have benefited from those glasses."

Boys & Girls is a Web series launched in 2012 and designed to address issues related to pressing public health concerns for European teenagers by means of a non-preachy, well-told episodic story. The project was/is supported by the EU Health Programme (2008-2013), the European fund for protecting and improving human health.
The Boys & Girls project was developed by means of a novel, collaborative approach combining input and feedback from European issue experts, the production team, and teens themselves. As the lead writer, I worked with the Animation Studios production company in Naples, Italy, to oversee development of the scripts.

The Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts was established on 22 February 1967. Although Macedonia has in some sense existed over a long period of time, the area which is now named Macedonia has been controlled by various countries and peoples over the centuries. It was controlled by Bulgaria for long periods of time, while at the beginning of the 20th century it was controlled by Serbia and named South Serbia. It became part of Yugoslavia when that country was formed in 1929. The name Democratic Federal Macedonia was declared in 1944 but two years later, as the People's Republic of Macedonia, it became part of the Yugoslav Federation in 1946. It changed its name again, this time to the Socialist Republic of Macedonia in 1963 and, after the break-up of the Soviet Union, it became an independent country named the Republic of Macedonia in 1991. Since June 2018 it has been agreed that the country will be called Northern Macedonia to distinguish it from the Macedonian region of Greece. The area that is now Macedonia along with its aims to be an independent country over a long period of history, mean that we shall refer to "Macedonia" throughout this article.
The Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts built on literary and scientific developments in Macedonia over a long period of time and, to put the founding of the Academy into context, we give some details of this earlier scholarly work following [6].
The early scholarship in Macedonia was largely concerned with linguistics, literature, historiography, and ethnology studies. For example the Ohrid Literary School was founded in Ohrid (now in Macedonia) in 886 by Saint Clement of Ohrid. At the same time the Preslav Literary School was founded by Saint Naum. These schools [6]:-
... prepared the soil for prolific literary, scholarly, educational and artistic activities in Macedonia. This area saw the birth of the first Slavic alphabet which then spread throughout the entire Slavic world. It was the home of the civilisation of the Macedonian Slavs with its high aesthetic values in literature, the visual arts, music and architecture.Many of the societies which were forerunners of the Macedonian Academy were not based in the region now called Macedonia. For example, the Macedonian Scientific and Literary Society was established in St Petersburg on 28 October 1902. This Society, sometimes called the Slavic-Macedonian Scholarly and Literary Society [6]:-
... expanded, establishing branches among the Macedonian expatriates in Sofia (1903) and Odessa (1905), as well as in Bitola and Thessaloniki (1910-13). As part of its numerous scholarly and literary activities and with a clearly defined Macedonian national agenda, the society proclaimed the Macedonian language as its official language in Article 12 of the Constitution adopted on 16 December 1903. It published the first book in the modern Macedonian literary language (Za makedonckite raboti - On Macedonian Matters) in 1903 and in 1905 it published Vardar, the first scholarly, scientific and literary journal in contemporary Macedonian, while in 1913 it produced the first Map of Macedonia. In addition it published historical records and other official documents with a clear Macedonian national ideology and a liberation programme for the preservation of the territorial integrity and freedom of Macedonia (1913-15), as well as the most renowned journal in Macedonian and Russian Makedonskij Golos (Macedonian Voice) (1913-14). It designed a Macedonian flag (1914) and prepared and published the Programme for a Democratic and Federative Balkan Republic (1917).The period between the 1914-18 and 1939-45 wars saw major developments on Macedonian literature, Macedonian music, and the sciences, particularly technical sciences, medicine, agriculture and economics. The first higher education institution was founded in Skopje in 1943 during a period when the Axis powers had put this region under Bulgarian control. This institution was called the Boris III University after the Tsar of Bulgaria. The university closed down in the autumn of 1944 when the Bulgarian forces withdrew and, after Macedonia became the People's Republic of Macedonia, part of the Yugoslav Federation in 1946, it was decided to open a Macedonian university to replace the Bulgarian one. The Saints Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje opened with a philosophy faculty on 29 November 1946. The Department of Mathematics and Natural Sciences was part of this first faculty. It was academics at this university who played the major role in setting up the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts in 1967.
The Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Macedonia adopted the Law of the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts on 23 February 1967 and set up a committee of six people to initiate the work of the Academy. These were the Rector of the University of Skopje and five others who were members of the Academy of Sciences and Arts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, and/or the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts. The first election of members took place on 18 August 1967 in the National Museum of Ohrid. Fourteen full members were elected at this time, one being the mathematician Blagoj Popov. The first meeting of the new Academy took place in Skopje on 9 October 1967 when the President, Vice President and Secretary were elected [3]:-
The solemn opening ceremony of the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts was on 10 October 1967 in the Great Hall of the Assembly of the Republic of Macedonia. At the opening ceremony, in addition to the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts members and the delegations of the fraternal academies from the other republics, attended many representatives of the public, scientific and cultural life of the Republic.

The Perfect 2016 World Team Championships saw both the Indian male and female teams achieve promotion to the Championship Divisions, and in the very same year Sathiyan Gnanasekaran bagged India its first Men's Singles gold medal on the ITTF World Tour for six years with his victory at the 2016 Belgium Open.
Now 2017 has also produced some wonderful moments for Indian competitors with Manika Batra and Mouma Das becoming the first all-Indian doubles pair to reach a World Championships quarter-finals while an impressive outing in Panagyurishte saw Soumyajit Ghosh and Sathiyan Gnanasekaran leave the Seamaster 2017 ITTF World Tour Asarel Bulgaria Open with a Men's Doubles silver medal.
"I think Indian table tennis is going in the right direction. This has clearly been the best year or so for the sport in India. No doubt about it. You will get more feedback when you ask the foreign players. They are now scared of Indian players… they have so much respect for us!", Soumyajit Ghosh.
The partnership of Soumyajit Ghosh and Sathiyan Gnanasekaran entered the Men's Doubles competition in Panagyurishte seeded in fifth position and a strong outing from the duo saw India's representation in the final.
Eventually the Indian combination experienced defeat against the top seeds Jin Ueda and Maharu Yoshimura (13-11, 7-11, 4-11, 11-6, 5-11), but despite missing out on the title Ghosh believes that he and Gnanasekaran can look back on the event with pride.
"I played them before with Harmeet (Desai) but we had no chance. This time we could challenge them actually. They are one of the best pairs in the world and we (Ghosh and Sathiyan) don't play with each other. It was our coach (Massimo Costantini) who wanted to try us as the Commonwealth Games are coming up. So he wanted to try and we got a medal… which I believe is a good result", Soumyajit Ghosh.

If I've been a bit stupid and there is already a thread like this, feel free to delete.
Anyway, here goes, I'll start the ball rolling....
Today I moved the Horn and fitted my bar end mirror.
Removed horn mounting bracket, folded the other bracket to 90 degrees then re-assembled:
Horn nicely tucked away:
Removed the stock bar end weight, turned up a st/st spacer and fitted my cheap eBay bar end mirror:
I'm currently fabricating some blanking bolts/covers to go in the location of the stock mirrors. Didn't want to see empty threaded holes on the controls.
I'll post some photos tonight when they have been painted and installed.

More Christmas
I went to visit my sister in May and came away with a lovely selection of Christmas decoupage. This is an image from one of the sheets and I have paired it with some Dovecraft papers Krafty Christmas from a couple of years ago which I had a plan for that never came to fruition.
My base card is from Craftwork Cards as is the red metallic card candi.
The gingham and stitched ribbons are from the red jar.
I am entering this card over at Allsorts where they would like to see Ribbons - but not a bow.
Thank you for visiting and for any comments you are kind enough to leave.

Rihanna Reveals New Scholarship Program Through Her Clara Lionel Foundation
|Rihanna Reveals New Scholarship Program
Through Her Clara Lionel Foundation
That's right. The Grammy-winning singer and songwriter has announced a global scholarship program through her Clara Lionel Foundation (CLF), which will award scholarships to international and U.S. students going to college in the U.S.
Students from Barbados, Brazil, Cuba, Haiti, Guyana, and Jamaica are eligible for the award if they've earned acceptance "into a bachelor's degree program at an accredited four-year college or university in the United States for the 2016-2017 year," .
The scholarship is based on need and the number of students will vary, but the goal is to accept as many students as possible, according to the announcement. Scholarships granted will range from $5,000 to $50,000 and may be renewed for up to three additional years or until a bachelor's degree is earned, whichever occurs first.
|Work Singer Rihanna
Applications for the full-tuition grant are open now through June 10, 2016.
A committee will screen 50 finalists based on academic performance, demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities, work experience and a personal essay, and the scholarship winners will be announced by August, 2016.
According to its website, Robyn "Rihanna" Fenty founded the CLF in 2012 to honor her grandparents, Clara and Lionel Braithwaite, and grants from the organization are used to fund international programs with particular focus on health, education, arts and culture.

text: So I ordered some sheet moss for my water dragons tank that I planned to use as substrate/bedding to help with humidity but I also have a plastic container that I have been using as his hide since I haven't been able to find a good hide his size. I was wondering if there was a way to attach the sheet moss to the plastic so that it covered the outside of his hide so that it looks better. I am worried that glue would kill the moss and that any of the flora safe adhesives like 'Design Master Tack 2000'and other moss tacks aren't safe for my reptile. Does anyone have any ideas on how I should attach the moss or know if the moss tack or glue is safe, or is this just a bad idea in general? I wasn't sure if I should put this in the bedding/substrate category or the accessories category since it's kind of about both so I just picked this one??

Love brunch? Stay up to date on Boston's best brunches and upcoming Brunches of Boston events.
In a Pickle is a known Waltham favorite for simple, diner-style breakfast food. The atmosphere isn't great; think uncomfortable seating and fluorescent lighting. However, the restaurant makes up for that in other areas. Their menu is huge, and full of countless options for every type of brunch craving. For eggs, they have a large specialty omelet section, benedict, eggs in basket, steak & eggs, etc. For carb options...prepare to be mind-blown. Their extensive selection includes Coconut Banana French Toast, Snickers Pancakes, Reese's Pancakes, Caramel Crunch French Toast, and MANY more. Breakfast, dessert…same thing. We opted for the All-American French Toast, which has four thick, flavorful slices of French Toast, smothered in whipped cream, strawberries, bananas, and blueberries. Fruit on top makes it healthy, right? One of the other menu items that In a Pickle is known for is The Ringer. Labeled a "belly buster", this dish comes with eggs, home fries, choice of bacon/sausage/ham, and a choice of any of their pancake/French toast options. The food quality is all relatively average. The bacon is a bit stiff and doesn't taste very fresh. Same with the eggs—a bit blah, and something we could easily make at home. But we love that almost every dish here can be made customizable as a "build your own". Portion sizes aren't overwhelmingly huge, but definitely big enough to leave you feeling full. Prices are great; although there's a big range of dishes, most of them range from $7-$11. This is a great place to come for a simple, easy brunch experience.

Most pet owners know how to tell if their dog is happy and healthy. He will have a shiny, healthy coat, eager to play, and have regular eating and elimination habits. Signs of a sick dog are not always so easy to spot. Dogs have a natural instinct to hide sickness; in the wild, sick animals who show signs of sickness or weakness are likely prey for other animals. Many symptoms of illness are vague, but knowing the warning signs to watch for and knowing when to call the veterinarian can keep illnesses from becoming more severe. Symptoms may indicate a variety of illnesses; diagnosis often requires the use of X-rays and blood tests.
Treating illnesses early can prevent costly vet bills and even save the life of a beloved pet.
Refusing to eat is one of the first warning signs of illness. In the hot summer months, dogs may eat less, or occasionally skip a meal, which is not cause for concern, but a dog who refuses to eat for more than two days should be examined by a vet.
The normal body temperature for newborn puppies is 94-97 degrees F, and at four weeks will reach 101.5, which is the normal adult dog temperature. A dog with a fever above 105 or temperature lower than 96 should be seen by a vet immediately.
Vomiting is the most common symptom, and can indicate a variety of problems: food allergies, parasites, intestinal disorders, poisoning, diabetes, kidney disease. Occasional vomiting may just mean the dog ate something that didn't agree with him, but frequent or consistent vomiting should be checked out, especially if the dog is also has a fever with diarrhea and is losing weight.
Dogs do not normally drink a great amount of water, although they will drink more when the weather is hot. Excessive thirst can be a symptom of diabetes or kidney disease. They may start having accidents in the house. It is good practice to be aware of your dog's elimination habits, how much he goes and what his urine and stools look like. Normal stools will be soft but well-formed, and may occasionally contain small amounts of mucous or blood. Any changes in his habits may indicate a health problem. Diarrhea is another common symptom. It can be caused by something as simple as a change in diet, or can be a symptom of parasites, bowel disorders, or an undiagnosed metabolic disease. Occasional diarrhea is not cause for alarm; he may have eaten something that didn't agree with him again! Any episodes of diarrhea that continue for more than a day or two should be evaluated by a veterinarian. If the dog strains to eliminate, with hard, dry stools, he may not be drinking enough water, or may have other dietary or health problems. Wiggly, white segments indicate worms. Increased frequency of urination, straining during urination, dark urine, or urine with blood in it are signs of trouble.
Dogs don't have sweat glands, so they cool off by panting. It's normal for dogs to pant during hot weather or after playing vigorously, but it can also signal that he is in pain or having trouble breathing. If your dog is having trouble breathing, it could be an emergency; call the vet immediately.
If your dog is at his ideal weight, you should be able to feel his ribs but not see them through his coat, and his weight should be consistent once he reaches adulthood. Just as in humans, being overweight can contribute to diabetes and arthritis in dogs. A dog who is too thin or losing weight may be showing signs of disease.
A healthy dog is active and ready to play. Dogs may become lethargic on hot days, or if they are sore after playing too vigorously or taking a long walk, and will naturally slow down as they age. They may want to sleep more. Lethargy can also be a sign of poisoning, however, so any marked reduction in your dog's activity that lasts more than a day should be evaluated.
Coughing may be a symptom of a virus or infection, or it can indicate heart failure. Have him examined if he coughs frequently. Check your dog's gums and teeth regularly. Dental infections can cause bad breath, and the infection can spread throughout the dog's body, causing serious illness or even death. His gums should be pink and firm and his teeth free from tartar.
Your dog's nose should be free from colored, thickened, crusty, or runny discharges; his eyes should not have any redness, swelling, or discharges. His ears should be free of discharges and odor. Any of these signs would indicate an infection. His coat should be glossy and thick without excessive shedding (keeping in mind that some breeds shed more than others, and dogs will shed more during hot weather). His skin should be free from tumors and sores. Constant scratching and biting at the skin may mean that he is has parasites, a skin infection, allergies, a reaction to a bee sting, or other underlying conditions. Any signs of tumors, infection or excessive itching should be treated by a veterinarian.
A dog in pain will often whine or whimper, and he may have an aggressive change in temperament. He may have a sprain, bruise, or broken bone, and react when you touch the injured area, but unprovoked whining may indicate an internal injury, which can be an emergency. A dog with abdominal pain may stand hunched over, or stand on his hind legs with his forelegs down on the floor.
The Worst Symptoms a Dog Can Have
If your dog is showing any signs of illness, or a change in behavior, keep a record of the dog's symptoms. It will aid the vet in correctly diagnosing and treating your pet. The following symptoms are signs of a medical emergency and you should call your veterinarian at once:
- Pale, blue, or white gums.
- Fainting, collapsing, seizures or convulsions.
- Heat exhaustion–panting, lethargy, glazed eyes, unsteady gait
- Enlarged abdomen–may be a sign of a twisted stomach, heart disease, or infection.
- Inability to use his back legs.
- Inability to urinate.
- Dehydration–pinch the skin at the back of his neck; it should spring back quickly in a healthy dog.

This evening was no different. As we worked on a craft project one of the girls who just returned from a visit with her mom said cheerfully, "I found out my dad's real name today!" She was very excited to finally know the actual name of her father. However, this new disclosure now throws doubt on other things she thought were true. She is so young and doesn't know what to believe.
There is always something. Words spoken that remind me of the deep brokenness in their lives. I leave fully aware that I don't have what it takes to heal them. I can't give love big enough to wipe away the pain and anger.
What do you say to a child who tells you the scar on their newly shaved head resulted from a hit with a candle stick? Or that they just got out of jail for stabbing someone and have no problem doing it again if insulted? Or that their case worker says they get to go home the next day, but the following week they are still there? Or the one you believed was turning a new leaf and is now in prison awaiting trial for manslaughter?
I love that scripture describes Jesus as a man of suffering. He, the very son of God, knows the pain of sin. He carried it. He defeated it.
And so at the end of every Tuesday I share my heavy heart with Him. I am reminded that those children are His and He cares for them much more than I ever could. He pursues them with the love needed for healing. He takes broken lives and instead of just mending them, gives new life.
My hear is heavy, but my spirit soars. The hope of healing pushes me back every week. I can't get enough. I am hungry for it.
"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." Ephesians 3:14-19
