Jeremiah 35 tells an interesting story about the family of the Rechabites. Jeremiah is written in the midst of exile, in the years right before and right after the people end up in Babylonian captivity. The main reason they end up in exile is because they failed to obey God. They failed to honor God and follow his commands above all else. During Jeremiah's teachings he pulls in the family of the Rechabites as an object lesson. The Rechabites had long lived as nomads in the areas of Israel. Their ancestor Jonadab had commanded them to drink no wine, never build a house, and never plant a vineyard. Instead, they were to live in tents as nomads all their days of their lives. And they had obeyed. Jeremiah even goes so far as to bring them in and offer them some of the best wine to drink but they refuse saying, "we have obeyed and done all that our ancestor Jonadab commanded us." Here was a family of people, currently taking shelter in Jerusalem because of the presence of the Babylonian army, who had always obeyed the words of their ancestors and would continue to obey simply because they were told to do so. However, all around them, living in Jerusalem, were those who were preparing to be sent into exile because they refused to obey God. The Rechabites obeyed their earthly ancestor in everything. While the Israelites refused to obey the God of the universe. The contrast could not be more striking.
God then speaks to the Israelites through Jeremiah and says, can you not learn a lesson from the Rechabites. They obey their ancestor but you refuse to obey me. I have given you chance upon chance and you refuse to obey me. I have sent my prophets and servants to encourage you and challenge you and you refuse to obey. I have threatened you with exile and you have refused to obey. The opposing army is bearing down all around you and you still refuse to obey. Why won't you follow my commands? Why won't you obey my words? I don't understand?
Can we not learn a lesson from the Rechabites? How often are we in danger of making the same mistakes as the Israelites? All of us on some level have people that we report to. If your boss or your supervisor asked you to do an assignment or complete a report or follow up on a lead you would do so. Very rarely would we even think of simply ignoring something our boss had told us to do. Even if we didn't agree with the assignment we wouldn't just ignore it. We might ask for clarification or suggest a more effective way of getting the task accomplished, but we wouldn't just ignore it. And if our boss demanded something be done in a certain way even if we disagreed we would do it (unless the request was sinful). We would never simply ignore a command.
Most parents would never allow their children to simply disobey their rules. Sure, some parents are better than others at demanding respect and following through on what they say, but no one would expect children to simply disobey. Everyone assumes that children should obey their parents and those in authority over them. We know that children aren't wise enough to make their own decisions so we expect parents and other adults to help guide them and lead them to maturity. It's the way the world works.
We all know that obedience to those who are wiser or who have authority over us is the right thing to do. So, if Jesus is Lord don't we have to obey. And not just in the big things but all the time. It seems so simple doesn't it. If we would obey our parents and obey our boss why would we ever think of disobeying God? Maybe we try to make discipleship alittle too difficult. Maybe its really a simple endeavor summarized in two words: Obey God. That's it. Obey God. Pretty simple when you think about it. Many of our problems in life would go away if we could ever master those two words, obey God. Perhaps we too could learn a lesson from the Rechabites.

Undertaken by School of Population Health's Queensland Alcohol and Drug Research and Education Centre (QADREC) in 2009, the study and recently released report examines the characteristics of those people who entered drug diversion, their health outcomes and drug-consumption patterns, and the outcomes of diversion.
A total of 235 Queensland participants (including 112 from Brisbane) were recruited for the study who had been apprehended by police with small quantities of illicit drugs, including 50g or less of cannabis.
Two interviews were conducted within a week of diversion intervention and again, six weeks later. Participants were interviewed on substance use, changes in risk-taking behaviour, spouse/partner conflict, and psychological distress.
Positive results were reported for all factors. A total of 80.3 percent of participants were using cannabis when recruited, which decreased to 66.7 percent at the follow-up interview.
A total of 12.8 percent of participants drove a motor vehicle after drinking five or more standard drinks when recruited, and this decreased to just five percent at follow-up.
Participants seemed less aggressive with an increase of 61.7 percent to 74.3 percent of participants who have "never had" conflict, according to the study. They were also significantly less distressed at the six-week follow-up, the report showed.
A total of 43 percent of participants reported a reduction in drug use following diversion, with 15 percent quitting altogether. Eleven percent reported diversion to be the reason for change, while 15 percent said the motivation to change was due to a fear of being caught.
Professor Jake Najman, lead investigator on the project and Director of the Queensland Alcohol and Drug Research and Education Centre, said he believed drug diversion was an effective way of addressing and reducing drug offences.
"Evidence has shown that individuals who receive criminal legal sanctions will continue making negative choices which impact themselves and their communities," Professor Najman said.
"A diversion program offers these persons an opportunity to seek further help about their drug use. It gives them a chance to avoid a criminal record and to make positive change.
"It also reduces the burden on the legal justice system, the community, and for all individuals involved."
The report is titled An Evaluation of Illicit Drug Court Diversion and Police Diversion Programs 2009 and the study was funded by Queensland Health.

Hi Michael
We certainly reduce the herbicide use by using plants but at the moment would find it difficult to use less, especially on the hard surfaces.
Happy to chat through, on the estate most weeks if you wanted to come down.

We are in an era of information, where people really to keep up with the pace of being informed and re-informed.
We are in the era where people need to learn, unlearn what they have learned and relearn what they now need because what you learnt yesterday might not be useful again today due to the pace at which things are changing.
So people need to be really informed and stay informed for them to meet up with the pace.
Most of this information is being disseminated through the social media. Looking at Linkedin for example, a platform with many professionals looking to learn and meet the best in a field or the other and passing information that can turn people's life around. This means we need to use the social media often for us not to miss that information that we change our life for good and that's where the subscription comes to mind
An average Nigerian now uses a #1000 data for 3-4 days and if the person can really manage then he/she uses it for 7days. How are we going to cope with that in this kind of Nigeria economy?
At this age, our network provider should be passed that stage where they must use data or subscription to generate income. We need to be informed and for us to be informed we need to have cheap access to an internet connection. Like 20% if not more than that of what helped in the rapid growth of the developing countries is the information they get through easy access to the Internet at the early age. I am pleading to our network providers to please work on something to further better the subscription tariff they have for us so we can have easy and cheap access to the internet for us for us to stay informed. Please lets share, quote and tag people who matters and have influence so this article can get to the right quarter.
Thank youFollow Love Venture on WordPress.com

i don't think there is a right or a wrong solution.
personally, i would use my site statistics if i wanted to see which pages were most visited
showing the customer 'recently viewed' items could be useful in securing a sale, but if this information is redundant for other customers (or the same customer on their next visit), then I see no need to store it.
(Saying that, i have written some code for showing the last items viewed, by storing the productid's in an array and can't (yet) get the records to display in the order in which they were viewed)
upselling or cross selling would usually involve storing data and can be very useful in increasing customer spend.
i can advise on these techniques if you wish.
hope this helps

Dorothy wakes us too early for a summer morning. Thin sunlight passes through pine trees dancing in the zephyrs to dapple the counter panes that cover Leonard and I in our cast iron framed, narrow beds in the darkly varnished bedroom of the summer cottage my Great-Grandfather built from the odds and ends of his lumber yard on a small lake in western Michigan. Rubbing sleep from my eyes, I watch Leonard pull on his bathing suit instead of underwear and remember: Picnic! Now it's all right to be up in the cool early. I too pull on my suit and then my corduroys and struggle into a shirt and shoes on the way to the closed steep stairs. Dorothy at the bottom calls for us to: "Hurry, we're waiting."
Henry and Ann are taking boxes of buns and eggs and bacon and matches and foil and hamburger and a watermelon and chips and chocolateandmarshmallowsandgrahams and the forks to cook hot dogs and the shovel looking tool to cook hamburgers and the frying pan and the old refrigerator shelf to serve as a grill and the catsup and the mustard and the picklelilly and the cheese and the Squirt ('cause we don't do sodas) and the milk (see last parens) and the water and the ... and the ... "Damn, what did I forget?" Queries Dorothy. And the salt and pepper and the cups and the napkins and the cookies and the wooden spoons and forks and the cole slaw and the tomato-cucumber salad and ... any thing else? The spatula and the ... "We'll live without it," says Earle and so we pile into the Chevy and the engine starts. "Everyone has towels?" inquires Dorothy. "Yes" we chorus and Earle lets out the clutch and the gravel grumbles under the tires as we move around the circle of cottages through the trees to the road that leads toward Lake Michigan. Another time we might take the 16' aluminum skiff, an Arkansas Traveler with a seven and a half horse outboard motor, to the end of our lake where it empties into the Big Lake. But that beach is too crowded on the holiday. At the end of our lake we bounce across the little bridge which spans the junction of our lake with its outlet.
On the other side we pass the bible camp and then the steep dune which, at the end of the month, will be crowded with motorcyles roaring their way to the top from a dead start at the bottom. Heat and noise and speed. Pure American. But now it is quiet. Next is the BPOE beach. "Yay for the Biggest Pigs On Earth." says Henry. "You mean," rebukes Leonard, "The Best People On Earth." "Just ask them." says Ann.
Earle turns into the trees at the park entrance. We pass the main parking lot and travel further behind the dunes to a less developed access point. Parked, we pile out and Dorothy vocally grabs each of us to make sure we each have our towels and a suitable box, bag or carton. Up the long flight of wooden stairs the forest loam gives way to sand as we mount the dunes. The steps lead to a saddle between two peaks. At the top they stop and a view opens of blue horizon flecked with whitecaps. The blue is lightest in a band following the shore line maybe five feet from shore. This is the first sandbar where the water is about half way up your shins. Follows a darker blue as the lake bottom descends to maybe four feet before rising again in the second sand bar -- not as light as the first, but just above the knees. A darker band where the water rises over my head -- this is the real swimming area, not just splashing and paddling and wading and lolling. The third bar gives an exciting place to rest as I can touch bottom standing. Beyond here is forbidden lest the dreaded undertow claim us. This bar is perhaps forty feet from shore.
But before that is the beach, an expanse of about sixty feet of sand which now is cool but, once the sun clears the treed dunes, will scorch. This has two striations. Near the water is compact dark sand good for canal and castle building and running and walking. It's covered in the seawrack of the waves: drift wood and dead fish and bird feathers and weeds. This is in two lines: one marking the higher winter storm line and one closer to the water that marks the gentler -- but still tempestuous at times -- summer extent. Between the wet sand and the base of the dunes is light dry sand dimpled with waves by the wind. Running in it is absurd as the sand gives way opposite to your impetus. But all that is at the bottom, farther vertically than horizontally from where I stand (or so it seems) and all of that same treacherous dry sand that flees my toes as I try to step. Bunches of saw grass turn the dune into an obstacle course requiring switchbacks rather than a straight plunge. This is good because the straight plunge leads to spilled boxes and broken bags of chips. Down I go, trying not to run, but sooner or later having to, just to keep my feet under me.
At the beach level a suitable spot is scouted, examined, squabbled and chosen. It needs large logs for adults to sit on or against. These must offer some protection from the wind for the fire. Everyone scavenges drift wood suitable for the fire and within a few minutes the Pyromaniac in Chief (supposedly a rotating honor) has a nice blaze going between two cooking logs. Dorothy starts to fry the bacon.
Henry and Leonard grab the melon and start to dig a hole in the dark wet sand. Kneeling they dig to the reach of their arms where the sand turns to a slurry of watery sand. In goes the melon and a mountain of sand is shoved on top. Great fears of misplacing the hole cause us to mark the spot well. After lunch, some hours ahead, the retrieved melon will be exquisitely chilled by the lake water in the sand.
The bacon gets crisp and makes lots of fat to fry the eggs. In they go. Rusk buns (a Dutch bread which is most often double baked to toast, is wonderful as a hamburger bun if only once baked) warm on the grill rack. When they crisp, Dorothy butters them, places bacon and then an over easy egg inside and hands it over. An essential though unplanned ingredient is sand which announces its presence with a grind at the end of a nice satisfying bite.
There is a thermos of steaming Droste's cocoa for us and a thermos of Chemex coffee for Earle and Dorothy.
It is the best of breakfasts.
The day passes in swimming and castle building and other activities -- once Ann paints a beachscape and can't get the sand right, so she just applies a handful of sand where she wants it. Works.
The fire is built up again to grill the hamburgers and hotdogs for dinner with chips and salad. the melon follows. Satiety.
Replete with water, sand, air and food we gather the modest remains into a smaller number of boxes. We make sure the trash is burned or buried and the fire out so that the beach is clean for the next comer.
Then the price is exacted. The dune we ran down in the morning must now be ascended. This experience gives me an instant understanding of the phrase "two steps forward and one step back." Each step is upward, forward then sinks and slides back. Somehow we make it and turn at the top to watch the sun over the still sparkling water. Down the steps and into the car for the homeward voyage.
That night we take our sparklers and squibs down to the dock which offers a fine view of two public firework displays and many private accompaniments.
Once Earle disposes of a few old railroad flares. I get one and am very happy waving it about until a drop of magnesium falls on my new shoes. They are canvass and the magnesium burns straight through.
I get out of those shoes in a hurry.
Another time Earle asked me "How far can you see?" I think maybe a mile or two, knowing that is the distance to the other side of the lake. "I can see 93 million miles," he said and pointed to the sun.
Points of view. Different ones. That's what I celebrate.
Happy Independence Day!

Everyone's talking about Nithya Menen these days, thanks to the stupendous success of Gunde Jaari Gallanthayindhe. Right from Ala Modalaindhi, she has carved a niche for herself and within a short span of time, she has impressed everyone with her acting skills. In a recent interview, she revealed, "I am very impulsive, when it comes to signing films. There's no strategy about what roles I want to do. When I hear a script and if I feel a connection to my character and the script on the whole, I just go ahead with it. Honestly, the process of filmmaking is more important to me than its success or failure at box-office."
In Gunde Jaari Gallanthayindhe, she played the role of a rich girl who falls for the hero but goes on a mission to teach him a lesson. Her performance was one of the highlights of the film and she received unanimously positive reviews for her role. After Gunde Jaari Gallanthayindhe, she'll be soon seen in Yemito Ee Maya opposite Sharwanand.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (1/26/15)--Communities are built on common ground and the sharing of ideas. With that in mind, the Pennsylvania Credit Union Association (PCUA) has formed a networking group on the social media site LinkedIn for former bankers who have found a new "home" in credit unions.
The purpose of the group is to provide a venue through which former bankers can connect with and learn from one another and make their transition into the credit union space easier and more successful, according to the league.
The group was created by PCUA staff who responded to a challenge from President/CEO Patrick Conway to think outside of the box.
Conway said many former bankers populate leadership roles in credit unions and leagues. "They've added a new dimension to our dialogue," Conway told News Now. "This is exciting, and it's something that will add value."
The invitation was issued to members last week in the PCUA's newsletter, and the group has already received an enthusiastic response, said Molly Snody, PCUA director of business advisory services. "People have been very willing to introduce themselves and share how much they love credit unions," said Snody, herself a former banker, told News Now.
The PCUA will include a pre-conference breakout session for the ex-bankers group at its annual conference in May. The event will include a question-and-answer session and networking opportunities.
Snody said she is confident that the former bankers will agree on one important point: Credit unions truly are different than banks.
"Coming from banks, we come with a lot of misconceptions," Snody said. "I know I was told, 'If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's a duck.' I learned credit unions aren't at all like banks. I think a lot of us, having been on the other side, can attest to that, maybe even better than someone who has worked for credit unions their entire career."

text: Share: Comments Print January 23, 2010 at 1:55 PM Game thread: UCLA at Washington Posted by Jayda Evans HUSKIES LOSE: Washington fought until the last second, but lost 69-65 to UCLA. Miscues and missed shots led to a fourth consecutive defeat. Highlights were UW's bench, which outscored UCLA's 31-18. McLellan finished with 14 and Rozier had 11 with three boards. But Dixon, a transfer from Rutgers, and Campbell were too good. They had 25 and 21, respectfully. Rogers only played 10 minutes because she was "emotional," according to Jackson. UCLA coach Nikki Caldwell said Nzekwe stayed her normal stoic self. Kingma was hit in the jaw, but no update was offered on her. She was evaluated after the game. Next up for Washington is in-state rival Washington State. The Cougars lost to USC 61-51 today. KINGMA HURT?: Kingma has had trouble with her ankles all season and is down with 46.9 seconds remaining. She was helped off the court by trainers and is being evaluated. It's unclear what is wrong, however. UCLA ahead 64-58 with 37.7 left. MM-MM CAMPBELL: A deep three-pointer and three made free throws by Campbell has helped give the Bruins a 61-54 lead with 1:22 remaining in the game. Washington is forced to foul, which is stretching the deficit. EVEN GAME: It's hard to get a feel of what's going to happen in this one. Whitcomb is starting to get some looks at the basket and the Huskies are playing aggressive defense to hold a 52-50 lead. McLellan is really playing well, in the game because Rogers now has three fouls. But as good as UW is playing, UCLA is right there making equally impressive defense stops and scores. It could come down to a last-second shot. There's 6:50 remaining. The lead has changed hands 11 times and their have been seven ties. HALFTIME: Williams had a good defensive stop and Rozier made a jumper with 26 seconds remaining in the half to give UW a 30-28 advantage heading into the break. Washington coach Tia Jackson isn't utilizing the size on her roster, which is being nullified by the play of Williams and Roizer. But it'll be interesting to see if it holds in the second half. UCLA is starting to figure out Washington and good bring more defensive pressure after the break. Dixon leads the Bruins with nine points and six boards. Rozier has seven for UW. UW SPURT: The Huskies went on a modest 7-4 run to build a 28-25 lead with 1:07 remaining. UW is getting some defensive stops and good play by Williams, McLellan, and Roizer. HUSKIES LEAD: Washington grabbed a brief 13-12 lead off a layin from Laura McLellan. Two buckects by UCLA put the Bruins back up 16-13 with 8:20 remaining in the first half. MO WILL: Sophomore Mollie Williams entered the game and again hit her first shot to help keep the building Washington momentum going. UW is down 12-8 with 11:53 remaining. Both teams are shooting 50 percent, but Washington has six turnovers. ROGERS OUT: Staying true to form, Rogers was taken out of the game after three minutes of play. The Bruins, who are lined up with a way smaller lineup despite Rogers (6-foot-3) being on the bench, are taking advantage. UCLA leads 8-2 with 16:00 remaining in the opening half. HONOR ROLL: Former Husky Rhonda Smith will be honored this afternoon. She ranks third all-time in UW scoring, finishing with 1,928 career points playing from 1991-1995. Smith's Huskies teams were regular finishers in the top half of the Pac-10. Smith, who lives in Seattle with her husband and three young children, played for the defunct ABL and Sacramento Monarchs. Of all the matchups, this could be the best for Washington as the Huskies host UCLA. The Bruins, currently seeded third in the Pac-10, are faster. But UCLA doesn't have the size and the defensive philosophies are similar. It's just a matter of execution. Washington center Regina Rogers has had walking pneumonia this week, proclaiming herself 80 percent healthy on Friday. She hasn't been able to consistently practice, but isn't contagious. Rogers had a solid game in Thursday's five-point loss to USC, finishing with eight points and six rebounds in 25 minutes. She said she's nervous and excited for this afternoon's game because she's playing against her former team. Rogers transferred from UCLA last year to be closer to home after the passing of her grandmother. The former Chief Sealth star still keeps in constant contact with former high school teammate Christina Nzekwe and UCLA roommate Darxia Morris. But there isn't any trash talking like Kristi Kingma had with USC PG Ashley Corral, a friend since childhood. "Christina's not like that," Rogers said. Washington will try to prevent a four-game losing streak. The Huskies defeated the Bruins at home last season, 59-49. Here are your starting lineups: BRUINS F Dorenna Campbell F Rebekah Gardner C Jasmine Dixon G Erica Tukiainen G Mariah Williams HUSKIES F Sami Whitcomb F Mackenzie Argens C Regina Rogers G Sarah Morton G Kristi Kingma Today's officials are Anita Ortega, Randy Campbell, and Alejandro Moreno.

Robbie Katter is furious at one of Australia's largest communications providers after Gulf residents were dangerously cut off for more than a week.
The State Member for Mount Isa said it was incomprehensible how Telstra customers could be so disadvantaged and treated so poorly because of their remote location.
"These types of prolonged outages are not 'one off' instances – unfortunately, they appear to be more commonplace in recent years," he said.
"What will it take before this issue is dealt with properly?"
"This is a serious matter of safety – the only communication these residents have is via the internet, which is far from acceptable if an emergency situation arises."
"We have residents are driving up-to 120 kilometres just to make urgent calls."
Since learning of the incident the member has approached both the State Health Minister on the matter of emergency communications and intends to meet with the Minister assisting the Premier for North Queensland this week.
"There's so much talk about developing the North, but how are business owners expected to run their operation without phone access for more than a week?" Mr Katter said.
"We understand this is also a federal issue and will be bringing it to the relevant minister's attention.
Mr Katter said it was time that someone at Telstra took responsibility for the mess.
"We saw a Brisbane-based CEO sacked because trains were running 15 minutes late," he said.
"Yet in the Gulf, there's been customers with telephone lines down for more than a week who are unable to run their business or make emergency calls."
"Access to telephone communication can be a matter of life and death and I pray it doesn't come to that before Telstra realise the seriousness of this issue."
Mr Katter said he was fed up with Telstra offering hollow responses to customers.
"They say they care about customers in remote areas, but going on the level of customer service evidenced in the past week and in previous outages, it shows that is not the case," he said.
"We have businesses that also suffer from daily drop outs and sometimes weekends without the use of eftpos, again leaving any chance of development in the dust," Mr Katter said.
Mr Katter also called on Telstra to provide emergency satellite phones during outages.
"During 'Black Saturday' in Victoria, Telstra installed Satellite hubs which allowed people to use mobile phones, or they gave out satellite phones," he said.
"It is extremely dangerous to not have any phone services, especially in such a remote part of the world."

Ruth Goodman is a name familiar to fans of history documentaries on BBC TV. She has been a prominent figure in several documentary series about life during various periods in British history, particularly "Victorian Farm", "Edwardian Farm" and "Wartime Farm". Her knowledge of the social history of the periods of British history must be encyclopedic if her book "How to be a Victorian" is anything to go by. In the book she describes in detail about what the daily routine was like for Victorians rich and poor by describing their day from getting up to bedtime . For every Victorian, she writes that the day "began with a shiver", because even in the wealthiest of households, fires in bedrooms were rarely lit.
Ruth Goodman really knows what she is talking about, because in many cases, she has not only researched the subject thoroughly, she's actually tried it herself. Take brushing your teeth for example. For toothpaste (or dentrifice as it was called) the Victorians used concoctions made up from substances you could buy at the chemist. They included powdered chalk, powdered cuttlefish bone, powdered charcoal and soot. Ruth Goodman recommends soot (it's her personal favourite) since despite its colour, "it's the softest of all abrasives, helping to shift plaque and tartar without irritating or damaging either teeth or gums". (She does point out that she is wary of trying Victorian medical recipes unless she knows what all the ingredients are.) She has even tried squeezing herself into the extremely tight corsets that were fashionable amongst Victorian women in the mid 1800s.
"How to be a Victorian" is a very detailed account of the typical Victorian day, though if you're looking for recipes, try Mrs Beeton. It's not an especially well illustrated book, but there is a section of colour plates and line drawings in the centre and there are other small illustrations. It is however a fascinating read which I can thoroughly recommend.
Now, quite a while ago I was complaining about the introduction of self service machines in public libraries. These enable to public to return their books and take them out without actually speaking to or looking at a member of the library staff and of course they save the county councils money by doing away with some staff. At the time I remember that I was castigated for complaining about this, but I was pleased to see an article in the i paper (which calls itself "Britain's first and only concise quality newspaper") which is entitled "If we're customers, why are we doing all the work". The article is by Jane Merrick, who writes "the service industry…. Is turning itself into a non-service industry and I don't like it", referring to self service checkouts in supermarkets and even a London restaurant where you actually cook your own meal. She points out that her local library has turned itself into a self service branch. She says that if cutting staff costs means that the library will remain open when it otherwise would have closed, then that's OK, but staff have still lost their jobs. She ends the article by saying "When so much of our lives is conducted in the digital world, face-to-face interaction with another human being is precious – and increasingly rare"
Well, I thoroughly agree with Ms Merrick and if anyone says that self service is progress, I will point out that 'progress' does not necessarily mean improvement.

Here's my exclusive interview for The Fit Dish! I thought this was an awesome idea for a blog post and what better way to get to know the rest of the #fitfam.
What is my proudest achievement to date?
My proudest achievement to date is becoming a mom. I knew that having a child changed your life dramatically, but all we sometimes hear is the negative side of it: the lack of sleep, crying, etc. What everyone fails to say is that we've never known true love until you have a child. The minute I held Hayden I felt like what was missing was found. It's the hardest work being a parent, but at the end of the day, we do our best, hope for the best and it will be enough. My life is forever better because of that sweet girl.
What keeps me passionate?
My inner strength and drive to want to be more, to do more, and achieve more keeps me motivated and passionate about life, running and fitness. I love setting a goal and working to achieve it. I didn't always believe in myself and what I was capable of doing. I trust myself now.
What makes you the most proud to be a woman?
I think the thing that makes me most proud about being a woman is our strength. I think that women are able to persevere in tough situations. I think that we are intuitive and rely on our instincts.
Why do you think it is important for women to unite as a sisterhood and empower each other?
There is strength in numbers. When we travel alone, we can't accomplish quite as much. By empowering each other, we create a strong bond and we can work together to do so much more.
What are some examples of small ways we can empower the women around us in our day to day life?
I think that we can empower other women by being ourselves, being able to laugh ourselves and realizing there is no such thing as perfection. Often women do not see themselves doing or achieving certain things until they see someone they relate to go for those big goals and dreams. I think by inspiring each other and living our own truth every day is a great way to empower women. Even though we may all start at different places, but we can work to encourage each other to do big things!
What is one piece of advice you would like to share with the Fit Fam?
Find the ability to laugh at yourself and not take yourself too seriously. I think that once you learn to accept that you have faults but are willing to work on them is when the real progress begins. It takes time to become comfortable with yourself. It's so freeing when you finally do. I am unapologetically me.

Go be awesome! 🙂

PERMANENT HOUSING FOR LANDSLIDE BENEFICIARIES: President Rodrigo Roa Duterte led the groundbreaking and time capsule laying ceremony of the City of Naga Permanent Housing Project at Balili Lot, Barangay Inoburan, this city. The President was assisted by Presidential Assistant for the Visayas Michael Lloyd Dino, National Housing Authority (NHA) General Manager Marcelino Escalada, Jr., and Acting City Mayor Kristine Vanessa Chiong.
The National Housing Authority (NHA) will construct 192 housing units and is targeting to complete the project within 408 calendar days. The first 200 days is allocated for the land development of the project site which will be facilitated by the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB). As an added bonus, the President announced that the beneficiaries will have their new homes for free.
The main project beneficiaries are the affected families whose houses fall within the No Permanent Habitation or Danger Zones declared by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources - Mines and Geosciences Bureau (DENR - MGB) after the landslide which hit Naga in September 20, 2018. A total 213 families opted to avail of the relocation project while the other 205 chose the financial and building assistance from the City Government.
In her welcome message, Acting City Mayor Kristine Vanessa T. Chiong assured everyone that there will be enough housing units for the affected families as the City Government also initiated a 50-unit city-funded housing project at Tapon, Tinaan in the amount of PHP 24.6 million and has a similar design with that of the NHA Project. Construction of the houses started last March 2019 and are expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2020. Acting City Mayor Kristine also took the opportunity to convey her gratitude to everyone for their support.
The ceremony was also graced by Senator Christoper Lawrence "Bong" Go, Governor Gwen Garcia, Congressman Eduardo R. Gullas, Regional and Provincial Directors of National Agencies, business sector, barangay captains, beneficiaries, and stakeholders.

Although I'm speaking mostly to my follow Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) here–after all, that's the discipline with which I'm most familiar–much of this could apply to any type of doctor or other healthcare professional. And although I haven't been in practice too long (only about 4.5 years as a doctor and 6 years before that as a neuromuscular massage therapist), I've been blessed to encounter gifted individuals and take what they had to say to heart. Today, I'm attempting to paraphrase them all into a single blog post. Please bear with me…
Top-Tier Tip #1: Know Your Anatomy
This becomes more important the more you work with the physical body. Chiropractic doctors, physical therapists, massage therapists, etc, this is especially important for you, especially if you're a DC or DO who performs joint manipulation (LMTs, don't even think about it!! I know some of you do–stop now), or you're an LMT who attempts to help people with any kind of pain management beyond a simple relaxation massage. (However, even those LMTs who "only" give a basic Swedish massage will give a much better massage the stronger your anatomy knowledge.) Adjusting DCs, I know it's tempting to focus on the spine, but don't get stuck there–know your muscles, your nerve routes, and just about everything else. Don't forget your general family-practice-related internal medicine, either, because someone's thoracic pain may be a pancreatic issue, or their low back or shoulder blade pain could be a gallbladder problem.
Top-Tier Tip #2: Know Your Physiology
Study up on all the general functions of the human body. It's daunting, I know. Despite its relatively small size, it's a pretty high-performance, high-maintenance little organism. If you're weak on your cardiovascular system, nervous system, endocrinology, immune function, digestive tract, kidney and blood pressure regulation systems, mitochondrial function, liver biotransformation, etc, your patients will eventually suffer. Brush up on these subjects regularly and keep them fresh in your mind so that when a patient comes in and describes a problem to you, you don't overlook anything.
Top-Tier Tip #3: Stay Current On Your Information
It hasn't even been 5 years since I graduated and already, medicine–and our collective body of knowledge thereof–has changed dramatically and grown exponentially. The research landscape 5 and 10 years ago is nowhere near what it is now. We've been identifying gene polymorphisms, the impact of various species of intestinal microbiota, newfound significance of various nutrients, isolations and functions of phytonutrients, and well, you get the idea. Even those of you who are recent grads would do well to subscribe to a healthcare-related research journal or two because even though you just graduated, things have changed already, and believe me–the information we learned in school was about 10-30+ years out-of-date when we learned it! In other words, we were never current; that's why it's good to hit Google Scholar and have fun, because if what we do works, it's important to try to know why.
Top-Tier Tip #4: Back Up Your Claims…
…preferably with research. I'm not going to be a narrow-minded stick-in-the-mud that preaches abstaining from utilizing any experimental treatments/remedies/interventions until they've been "proven". Sometimes, a remedy works, even if we don't know how or why. Aspirin was in use (in its natural form) 700 years before we figured out its mechanism (which we only did about 50-70 years ago) and yet, we still used it–and benefitted from it–before we knew how and why it worked. However, if you're going to make a claim, back it up. Did you read it in a research article/study? Who published it? Is it a respected journal? Or, did you find it on a website like Livestrong or Mercola? Did those authors cite their sources? Where did they get their information? Alternatively, is this remedy something you found via trial-and-error, either using yourself as the trial subject (guinea pig), or through clinical experience with your patients? Did you learn it at a seminar? Where did they get their info? If you can't back it up, and you think it might still help your patient, go ahead with it, but disclose the fact that it's experimental. I have no problem telling a patient that what I'm about to do with them is uncharted territory for me or that I have nothing to back it up. (I can absolutely back up most of my remedies, but occasionally, like everyone else, I find myself at a loss.) Most patients are absolutely fine with that. They're more comfortable having been properly informed, and they don't get too bent out of shape if it doesn't yield the results we hoped for. They're patient and they navigate those confusing waters with me, because I've been honest with them.
Top-Tier Tip #4: Don't Be Afraid To Refer
DCs are notorious for not wanting to refer patients to other practitioners, be it an MD, LMT, or other DC. We're afraid the patient will visit another practitioner and decide not to return to us. This is inaccurate, and it can be devastating. Since no doctor can specialize in everything, the patient gets cheated out of the opportunity to get relief from the knowledge of another practitioner. We cheat ourselves too, because we look like idiots when we don't refer when we should. Our fear is unnecessary. If a patient likes you, trusts you, and benefits from your service, and they visit another practitioner for either help with the same problem or relief from a separate problem, they will come back to you. Diversified-based DC, someone might need the BEST technique or Activator protocol for a little while. Or maybe they have an intestinal issue. Don't be afraid to refer to the appropriate provider! If they like and trust you, they'll come back for their Diversified adjustments when they're ready/able. And even if they don't, you never know–maybe they'll talk to their neighbor at a block party next year and end up referring them to your office, even if they're no longer a patient themselves! Don't sweat it.
Top-Tier Tip #5: Take As Many Classes/Seminars As You Can!
The best docs (and other practitioners) never, ever stop learning. Never figure you've taken a bunch of classes on a subject already and you can sit tight and rest on your laurels for a few years. Remember what I said above–things change, and they're changing fast. And as time goes on, the change only happens more rapidly. So, don't get lazy. Take time to stop and smell the flowers, but don't take a nap in the garden! My first year in practice did not leave much disposable income. Guess what–I took classes anyway, taking advantage of the First-Year Doctor discount offered by many seminar institutions. I used the free tech support offered by several lab and supplement companies. I bought textbooks in my field as I could afford them (they were cheaper than some of the seminars, which I slowly saved up for and then finally attended). Google comes with only the cost of an internet connection; use it liberally! Double-check accuracy, of course, but it works well as a superb jumping-off point.
Top-Tier Tip #6: Ask a Lot of Questions
This tip can be divided into 2 sub-parts. One, ask a lot of questions of your gurus, mentors, instructors, etc. If you simply can't go to any seminars, call up your former professors at school, or the doctor you shadowed during your internship. Don't be shy! If something doesn't make sense to you or causes confusion, speak up!
The second sub-part involves your patients. Ask them a lot of questions, too. People will forget to tell you things, or perhaps they never gave what seemed to be a minor symptom a second thought. Or maybe they're just not the forthcoming type when the subject involves body functions or pain. Maybe they don't want to volunteer info about their intestinal gas or low libido. Maybe they don't want to come off as a "complainer" about their pain. However, most of these people will disclose this information if asked directly. So again, speak up.
Top-Tier Tip #7: Go the Extra Mile
This can mean a lot of things, whether in terms of customer service or extra time put in behind the scenes researching a puzzling issue presented by a patient, or perhaps just putting in a few hours studying up on general information on a Saturday. Either way, it's worth bearing in mind that there is NOT a wide berth separating the Top-Tier docs from the average docs; often, it just involves one more step. Take that extra step, and you can propel yourself into the top 1% of your profession. Sometimes, it's a tough step to take; it may involve a financial chunk, or a time-consuming project. Other times, it's an easy step to take–so simple that you scratch your head wondering why others don't take it.
Top-Tier Tip #8: Hire Good Staff–and Keep Them
Ahhh yes, the thorn-in-the-side for many. This can be a difficult one in the process, but afterward, the rewards are huge. Basically, it goes like this: hire slow, fire fast. Hire for personality, because the rest can be taught. You can teach skills and computer systems and phone scripts and all that, but you can't teach personality characteristics like genuine, nice, helpful, or motivated. You can't teach someone work ethic–they either have it or they don't. You CAN influence morale, however. And I highly recommend doing so, and in a positive way. A fat benefits package isn't necessarily a slam-dunk guarantee to boost morale, either. Good morale results when you realize you've hired someone competent, and kept your Hands Off, letting them do their job. It comes from being recognized for jobs well done, from being respected as a human being and not just a machine. It comes from being made to feel like a real part of the team and not just an outsider. Profit-sharing, even a small percentage, may help immensely, but a simple treat to lunch on Secretaries' Day or a warm smile and a "you handled that situation perfectly" works, too.
Top-Tier Tip #9: Follow Through With What You Say
This one is simple. If you say you'll do something, do it. If you claim to do/know/offer something, be genuine. (I.e. if you say you practice Functional Medicine and you're really a garden-variety general practice family MD or you're an MD/DC who only plans to focus on thyroid dysfunction or diabetes or something similar, note: that is NOT Functional Medicine. You only practice Functional Medicine when you consider–and evaluate–ALL major aspects of body function; that's why they call it Functional Medicine. That's part of a rant that will probably get its own post!) I digress…
Anyway, if you say you offer sports chiropractic, or Functional Medicine, or nutritional counseling, or weight-loss help, or primary care, or a pediatric/pregnancy focus, or an integrative cancer approach, or what-have-you, then be prepared to deliver. If you say you're going to consult with a colleague about a patient's case or look into something for them, follow through. Be impeccable with your word; your word should mean something.
Well folks, that about does it. Notice that I didn't say, "offer free screenings at Walmart" or "give them free x-rays with their New Patient exam". That doesn't get anyone real far. What DOES, though, is simply being a good doctor, with your patients' best interests in mind, and with confidence in yourself. Now get out there and take that one more step. 🙂

Cataloguing Versus Indexing
There has always been confusion about the distinction between 'subject cataloguing' and 'subject indexing'. Basically, cataloguing is the process of creating bibliographic description of a document as a whole entity, and subject cataloguing and classification assign subject labels which together descnbe the overall topic of the document. Indexing involves delving into a document for analysing its contents at a much deeper level to provide access…Read More »

Is learning a new language fun? Well, actually it is a mixed bag of experience and I enjoyed every bit of it en francais!
Giving up on weekend's extended hours of sleep was my concern before I even enrolled for the afternoon classes on Saturday and Sundays. But the strong desire to speak in French, read and write a bit too, prevailed and I signed up in January for A Level part 1 at Alliance Française that completed successfully only yesterday.
I still remember Day One in class when I felt like a kindergarten kid not knowing how to answer basic questions such as –What's your name-
Tu t' appelle comment?
But it was not a moment of embarrassment, rather I found it cute to repeat after my professor- Je m'appelle Sayanti.
That's the speed at which the class started phrases, leading to sentences and then writing them down in paragraphs.
There were times when I felt totally blank, specially when the génies etudiants of my class seemed to know it all! I wondered how, till I learnt that they had a brush with French already in school. So I felt confident again that I was new to this language and need to give myself time in order to pick it up. The 'back-to-school' syndrome can have its pros and cons too.
While I made new friends and shared lunch boxes, there was home-work or 'devoirs' to be submitted too. Initially I made the best of my laziness dreaming up excuses to complete such tasks but the day I started taking them seriously, I felt the difference!
There was an overdose of French in class with strictly no English or other language translations being encouraged. But it became more effective with a group being formed on watsapp and texting in this foreign language. It was fun as people referred to every possible dictionary and translator to make sense of the conversation.
Since our young professor was added on the list as well, she actively corrected the errors. That was some learning for sure as the visual memory of the words got captured instantly.
Learning French was not all study and no fun. There were loads of party people who planned beaucoup de partis to keep me entertained. Whether it was chilling over coffee at Barista or Starbucks after class or all of us meeting up at any of the student's house for food, drinks and dance, we had the ball of a time!
So for all those who are still planning to do something new, might consider learning a language to begin with. More than the certificate, trust me it feels 'wow' to say- Je peux parle, lis et ecris en francais!
-Sayanti Banerjee

There are "a lot of reasons" that would "make sense" for Russia to take such a step, Morell wrote in his column in the Cipher Brief. The former CIA acting chief believes that "the Russian president needs a relationship with the incoming US president where the US overlooks Moscow's anti-democratic activities at home and destabilizing activities abroad." Moreover, "gifting" Snowden could also become a good way "to poke his [Putin's] finger in the eye of his adversary Barack Obama," Morell added. In addition, "this would give President Putin one of the things he desires the most – being seen at home and abroad as an equal of the US." To which Edward Snowden's lawyer Anatoly Kucherena exclaimed: "These statements coming from the former CIA head are stirring mixed feelings and can be seen only as a kind of utter nonsense, there is hardly any other way to put it," But now, as NBC News reports, according to a senior U.S. official who has analyzed a series of highly sensitive intelligence reports detailing Russian deliberations, a Snowden handover is one of various ploys to "curry favor" with Trump. A second source in the intelligence community confirms the intelligence about the Russian conversations and notes it has been gathered since the inauguration. What will President Trump do to Snowden, If Russia does end up releasing Snowden to the Trump administration? Now there are two very strange things about Snowden in how he could be treated if Russia releases him to Trump, those are the facts that Snowden is a traitor but a hero at the same time...Ya it's strange right? Hopefully if Russia does release Snowden into US custody...Hopefully President Trump treats him as a hero, since what America knows about the NSA and illegal spying is credit of Edward Snowden. Let's see how this develops, and hopefully Snowden quits acting like a Libtard supporting the Soros supported protest across America.

The Crow remake has long seemed like a bad idea. And it seems like it's been fated to falter given just how long it's spent in production limbo. But the movie now has another roadblock in front of it: A personal, heartbreaking plea from the original film's director, Alex Proyas.
Image: Miramax
Proyas has remained relatively quiet about the ongoing attempt to reboot his 1994 cult classic, itself based on James O'Barr's comic series. But the recent news that Aquaman's Jason Momoa joined the project in the latest attempt to revive the franchise has seen Proyas take to Facebook to make an emotional plea to let The Crow be.
Proyas' statement doesn't come from a distaste for Hollywood's endless fascination with mining old material for remakes and revivals, but instead because of the infamous tragedy that befell The Crow in its original production - the awful, accidental death of star Brandon Lee, mortally wounded by a misfired gun during the final days of filming.
Proyas truly believes in leaving The Crow as a tribute to Lee's memory, something he feels would be tarnished if the movie was rebooted and Lee's role went unacknowledged. As he notes in the statement, sequels and TV continuations were fine - the very premise of the film meant that the series could technically be continued with a new host for the mystical crow, beyond Lee's character, Eric Draven - but it's the act of rebooting the movie altogether that he feels erases the tragedy of Lee's final performance.
The Crow still has a long way to go if it ever does get remade - and Momoa is far from the first actor to be attached to the project. But after all this time, and given Proyas' own misgivings about the reboot, maybe it's time to finally let this project go.

Butterscotch and amaretto blended to perfection with sensual swirls of vanilla cream create one of the most smooth and seductive e-liquids that we have ever tried! This e-juice flavor is designed for one thing alone, indulgence!
For adult smokers of legal smoking age only.
This is, by far, my favorite liquid this month. I am a sucker for ameretto anything and the delivery of this one is fantastic. There is zero throat hit, none at all and the clouds are great.
The flavor profile is spot on too. It tastes like a nice, cold mixed drink with an iced coffee feel and whipped cream on top. It is a sweet liquid, no doubt, but not sickeningly so and there's a warm chocolate hint that hits the back of your tongue on the way down. On the inhale, you get the nice, not overly sweetened ameretto cream with hints of butterscotch, on the exhale it's the sweetened, pleasant touch of vanilla.
Overall, my absolute favorite this month. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who enjoys a nice alcohol vape without the hangover.
Kangertech Kbox 70w/Aspire Cleito Tank with .2 ohm atomizer. This was an extremely pleasant surprise. I was worried at first because I am slightly wary of alcohol flavored vapes and the flavor in general just seemed very busy. The amaretto flavor is strong and slightly overpowering but the other creamier flavors still come through well enough to pull them out and they also slightly mute that strong amaretto flavor. I also got a chocolate flavor that came through and I don't know if we were supposed to or not but it worked really well with the other flavors. I don't quite know if I would consider it an all day vape because it is a very strong flavor that could have a tendency to get old if vaped all day but as an evening, post dinner vape, it is really great.
Electric Liquids DELIVERS. I love it. I knew I would. Like the other EL liquids ive tried... true too flavor. Smooth. Clouds. Best in box right after my cinnaswirl.

The once and future OS for Apple ↦
For Apple watchers, the company is always a bit like the proverbial duck: floating seemingly calm and placid above the water while paddling furiously just below it. Which is why it's often hard to gauge exactly what the company is up to, especially when the current is changing.
In the last few weeks, both my colleague Jason Snell and I have looked ahead to what Apple might be envisioning for the future of its devices. I've opined on ARM-powered Macs; Jason's wondered about the possibility of a laptop running iOS. In a recent conversation—on our secret podcast, which you should check out—we started to put some pieces together and conjectured that maybe these aren't two different stories but rather one larger tale of what Apple's future might hold.
What if, to paraphrase the late Steve Jobs himself, these aren't two platforms, but one platform with a bunch of devices?

Canadian Chamber of Commerce to Champion Open Skies
Gatineau, September 28, 2010 – Chambers of Commerce from across the country gathered in Canada's Capital Region this past weekend for the Canadian Chamber of Commerce Annual General Meeting where they sent a strong message calling on the federal government to immediately move into an open skies approach to air agreements, both in passenger and cargo.
"Open skies has our support and the support of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, not to mention hundreds of chambers across the country. This is the Voice of Business speaking," said John Winter, President & CEO of the BC Chamber of Commerce. "We're saying it's time Canada joined the rest of the developed world by putting our communities at the heart of air agreements by adopting a truly open skies approach."
Among the recommendations the Canadian Chamber is making to the federal government regarding air agreements is the appeal to allow the establishment of foreign owned but Canadian domiciled carriers (right of establishment), and to introduce greater transparency into the negotiating process by allowing airports equal status at the negotiating table with airlines and by ensuring that all agreements are open and transparent.
"Jurisdictions around the world have shown that increasing competition and transparency lead to more job creation and better agreements," continued Winter. "The business community has sent a clear message, the government's approach needs to change."
Delegates at the Canadian Chamber AGM also discussed a number of other critical transportation issues of particular importance to BC. The BC Chamber is now urging the federal government to develop coordinated approaches to capital funding for Canada's airports, as well as calling on the federal government to work with other levels of government to develop a comprehensive, integrated plan for rural transport.
