I thoroughly enjoyed the first module of Rob's Biocompass® course. Small numbers making it a relaxed, friendly environment to learn in. Rob delivered the content of the information in a easy to follow, fun manner and always made sure the pace was ok for everyone.
Concise and easy to follow workbook with plenty of exercises, using real life situations from the group.
The demonstrations were very valuable making the information 'sink in' and become clear.
I found out the information fascinating and empowering of how I can use it not only on a personal level but also on business level.
Exciting to be involved in such a great modality!
Thank you very much Rob!
Rob van Overbruggen is passionate about Biocompass®. He is very knowledgable and presents in a way that I understood or if I didn't understand straight away would ensure that I did by answering my questions
The last 10 days have changed my entire world. I have gained so many insights to why I am the way I am and the reasons behind some of the issues/illnesses I have had thoughout my life. I feel equipped to make even more profound changes in my own life and in the lives of others, using this amazing tool which enables one to cut straight to the core of issues and disease
The last few days on the Biocompass® health coach training have confirmed that this tool really is the missing piece of the puzzle for me. Learning the mind body brain connection and about the brain layers and their specific functions within the illeness process from Rob van Overbruggen has been invaluable and has changed the way I look at my body forever.
Rob has been a patient and thorough teacher. His demonstrations have been first class and elegant. He truly is a leader in this field.

I liked your approach, mixing silly wakeups with hard work.
Rob van Overbruggen's philosophy in training is my own so it was congruent with my beliefs and approach. I learnt masses and cannot wait to apply the principles, not only on my own clients lives
Training with Rob van Overbruggen was fascinating and insightful. Understanding there are reasons for having disease and I can own the reason (which I can transform). I don't have to won the disease. By finding and focussing on the reasons that I can change- it means I have control back. Thanks for your clarity and dedication.

Thanks Rob 🙂
This training is an excellent diagnostic tool to help clients identify their underlying emotional issues that may be keeping them in a disease process that is not responding to traditional medical therapy.
Firstly, WOW.
I have invested a lot of time into health in the last 5 years and Robs energy, insights and science into health has been by far the most rewarding. I have now got the tools to help more people live a happier and healthier life.
Learning Biocompass® has truly shifted my perception on the body and how it does not make mistakes.
Thanks mate
The training is intense but fantastic. Over the 2 weeks course the information builds and becomes integrated. It builds a whole new framework of understanding health and illness.
Many ways in which it can be integrated and shed new insights into my life and work.
Biocompass® is one of the most profound and accurate methods of stress diagnosis, that uncovers our mental, emotional, physical – psychological experiences.
Rob's training is a slow building but complete process of cross-reference – multi-layered experience based learning, which gently but profoundly allows one to absorb the information – principles of Biocompass®
You are led step by step trough a model which explains the 2 phases of disease.
Explanations are accompanied by practical exercises which highlight areas of understanding or where clarification was required.
Loved the summary at the end of each day – the recap each morning
Studying Biocompass® is an honour ! My life and my practice will be far richer as a result
Rob van Overbruggen's knowledge and experience is highly impressive.
It has been a great training with him.
Thank you !
This is knowledge that everyone needs, but particularly the medical profession, that people can identify the real causes of their illnesses/infections, clear these and live better lives.
A fantastic course that really explains the connection to emotions and how they manifest physically. Explained in a very clear logical manner using different mediums (auditory, visual, kinesthetic). So all can learn ?
I found the training to be extremely subtle in its presentation. The techniques and thoroughness of the training were excellent. Nothing was taken for granted and we covered all the modles in an unhurrie – pace.
I really liked the disciple of the training and the mixture of straight presentations, work books and splitting off with partners
Clear – Concise
The Biocompass® course helps to confirm what many people belief. That is that the mind and body are not 2 different entities to be treated separately but to be considered as a whole.
The course creates many "LIGHTBULB" moments where you can see by yourself and others experience physical and emotional issues. It's like putting pieces of the puzzle together. More importantly, once you have the answer you can help others and yourself heal with various means.
Very empowering and motivating course. It add a whole new level to my business
I had many insights on this course. I understand how my body functions and I am not afraid of pain as I know it is a natural resolution of a process. Knowledge changed my perception. It gave me power. Knowledge is power.
I would recommend it to anyone who want to change themselves for the better because it opens your mind and changes your perceptions and teaches you how to heal yourself. It put you in control
This is the best course I have ever done. Rob was excellent at the way he structured it. I never felt rushed he explained everything in a way that we could all understand.
Thank you Rob you are the best. Loved it
Rob van Overbruggen is a lively energetic trainer who really knows his product.
I loved his open mind and "no bullshit" approach to health.
I now feel empowered both in my own health and being able to empower others on their own health journeys.
I learned so much from doing Rob van Overbruggen's Biocompass® training course. He made it fun, easy to follow and was open to as many questions as we needed to ask. If unsure of anything we would go back over it until we understood it.
The practical exercises reinforced the knowledge and gained so many insights into the Biocompass® model
I have come away feeling knowledgeable and ready to use Biocompass® with my clients and am excited to see the changes and to spread the word of Biocompass® as it is an amazing diagnostic insight as to how intelligent our bodies are on creating and resolving disease.
Thank you so much Rob !
Rob van Overbruggen is a brilliant teacher. He takes what is potentially and extremely complicated subject and turns into something understandable and wonderful. Biocompass® is something everyone should know about Having completed the training it is now our duty to spread the word !
During the Biocompass® training the two major insights for me have been understanding that when the body is in pain it usually means that the body is in teh resolution phase, therefore it is important to move trhough the conflict so that the resolution can be fully completed.
I have also had a wonderful insight in relation to the germ layers and understanding that each layers is responsible for development of various organs and each organ has a purpose.
I feel it is important to have undertaken the training so that I can could understand the function of the organ and it's Biocompass® meaning. Prior to attending this cours I had been told that acne represents separation conflict because this is what the skin represents. However I now understand that although conditions such as psoriasis and eczema do relate to seperation, acne is different because it is directed by the cerebellum. It is the dermis and not the top 'contact' layer of the skin. Therefore it represents protection and integrity.
I would definately recommend this training as it has enabled me to get a fully understanding of Biocompass® and not just a general view.
I had a wonderful experience training with Rob! The first part of the training was great, the second part left me feeling like I knew nothing but by the final stage I felt very clear about the material and confident in my knowledge of meta medicine. Rob was very supportive and willing to take his time to ensure that we has clarity. I would certainly recommend the training to others considering being a health coach. A wonderful and comprehensive skill to add to my extensive tool kit.
It is a brilliant course which will change how you perceive health forever.
Rob van Overbruggen is a great teacher, highly knowledgeable with a hint of charm – witt. The course is not only intriguing – informative, it is fun – exciting.
Thank you Rob!
Knowledge is empowerment
I am so grateful for all your knowledge
Thank you so much
Rob van Overbruggen is inspiring and brilliant.
The course gives you a totally different way of looking at illness, wellness – the perception that prevent us from living our lives to their full potential.
Truly fascinating and powerful work
The course is a bit like peeling the onion. You move from general subjects to the real teaching. Rob van Overbruggen and his logical approach to the material makes it very easy to understand and put in use.
The course is a great change in perspective about your own health and what can be done about it.
If you'd like to understand your health and therefore life better – do the course
The Biocompass® course helps to confirm what many people belief. That is that the mind and body are not 2 different entities to be treated separately but to be considered as a whole.

Very empowering and motivating course. It add a whole new level to my business
Brilliant, every emotional practitioner should learn this !
Rob van Overbruggen is a vibrant trainer who presents all information in an interesting manner with fun exercises that enable deep understanding of the material.
This course was enlightening for my own perception of health – how I can not only control my own biological health, but also my destiny.
It's changed my perceptions on this very world I walk through each day, I cannot look at this world through the same lenses or in the same perception ever again.
Rob van Overbruggen delivery of the course was both systematic, specific – at the same time fun – lively
On Robs course I realized that understanding the principples of MM can be simple. He presents it in a very relevant and well paced way.
I already had some meta knowledge but now i feel very confident in being able to apply the principles in a way ?I have not done before.
I recommend this course to anyone that has an interest in health. It is very empowering to understand why the body has disfunctions and the biological meaning. The body does not make mistakes
Easy to understand and apply well paced, well supported on the course. Amazin and relevant information that will blow your mind. I liked the best the pace and depth of information and the examples and metaphors used
I recommend his courses to anyone that has an interest in health. It is very empowering to understand
I would highly recommend the Biocompass® training with Rob van Overbruggen. His huge amount of knowledge supported by compassion for the client is a great example for a trainee Biocompass® coach. Not only will you learn amazing skills for use in your practice you may learn a lot about yourself too
Having trained as an engineer it has been fantastic to learn how the Biocompass® model can eloquently and consistently relate an organisms perception to the intelligent biological functions that run to improve survival
Rob was able to simply and clearly explain these concepts to a diverse audience
The understanding I gained from Rob allows me to discern the cause of symptoms with a few simple and directed questions. I will use this understanding in my everyday life and I'm much less scared of illness.
This course is awesome, and will help you every day
Thanks Mate !
I feel as a medical profession that I now have answers to questions that I have had for many years.
I enjoyed every minute of the training. Learning META medicine is an exciting and profound journey, mind-stretching and mind-blowing in equal measures! Rob always made the training fun but also kept us very focused and always answered every question calmly and attentively. I came away with many insights, both on a personal level and also on a wider perspective. It is a tool that I will use for the rest of my life and well worth every penny.
Biocompass® completely changes my understanding of the disease process. It is totally fascinating and makes sense at so many levels. It's only a matter of time before this model gets adopted by conventional medicine. The course is worth every penny and you will leave ham-packed full of insights and new information that will take your therapy process to a whole new level
It's challenging, amazing, very new
Mind blowing
I had a wonderful time on Rob's Biocompass® cours.e His training method was simple and very clear to absorb the way it was explained. I was able to take it all in . Rob covered all areas of learning visual auditory and kinestetic. The knowledge and tools I now have can only improve my life to amazing heaghts and the lives of others.
I feel so blessed being part of Robs course. I would recommend this course highly. It will be the greatest course you ever attended
Rob made sure we understood at all times. He was patient with our questions to explain it all for all of us to understand each level. The way rob Structured it simple and built on our knowledge each day
I joined the training after meeting sami, who was also trained by Rob van Overbruggen. The training has been profound and life-changing. I appreciated the support I received from Sam as I was triggered on a few occasions during the sessions. This would have been difficult without that support.
However all change is difficult and painful. The knowledge and self awareness that I have gained from my Biocompass® training will definately change my life and will undoubtly change that of those who choose to come to me in the future.
I don't see how the world can ever be the same for me again, as I move forward, both personally and professionally
Working with Rob van Overbruggen has been such a pleasure. I am so grateful for his guidance and expertise and highly recommend training with him personally. This open and throughtful outlook and approach makes learning these amazing principles an engaging and insightful experience. Rob uses his experience and skills to make this course a relevant and life changing experience for you personally as well as teaching the Biocompass® model as a fundamental diagnostic tool for any therapist.
The Biocompass® Health Coach course is amazing. It so clearly and precicely explains the process of illness and disease so that its possible to trance the triggers and recognize what exactly happens on a psycho-biological level during stress and the stages of illness. I am now able to collect specific information, to formulate precise questions to identify the root cause of physical illness. Biocompass® is an incredibly powerful tool based on scientific research. It really is an evolution in the understanding of the body-mind connection that all doctors and health practitioners need to understand!
Any professional practitioner in any fields, such as NLP, EFT, Matrix Reimprinting, etc. will benefit hugely from this training. It can guide the practitioner to the core issue in a very accurate and magical way. I recommend you all learn Biocompass® to help the world heal itself
I was a little apprehensive before I began the first module of this training. Having done the introduction course with Sami, which inspired me to continue, I knew there would be a huge amount to learn.
Rob delivered the training in such a way that I did not feel overwhelmed and felt able to ask questions as we went along.
I loved the humour, the use of games and puzzles to get important points to stick in my memory and the exercises as practice.
The charts etc. are also excellent and invaluable as a tool.
Before starting the course I'd read a good deal, been through the Home Study pack and watched various Biocompass® and Matrix Reimprinting videos, so I was afraid the course might be on the repetitive side for me. Well I needn't have worried! Rob is a master teacher who knows how to make sessions content-rich while at the same time light, fun, varied and very learner-friendly. Lecturing time was just enough to enable us to receive some pretty solid blocks of information verbally, but always alternated with videos, live demos, quizzes, graphics, the use of Rob's own body to offer memorable kinesthetic demonstrations of how processes work, as well as regular revision and other exercises in pairs or small groups, so it was impossible to get tired or bored or fall asleep – even after lunch! There was also lots of music, cleverly used to raise energy, induce relaxation, or encourage reflection and creative thinking according to the needs of the moment. In fact all the material was presented with such skill and clarity that I was able to refine and deepen my previous knowledge ( many 'ah ha!' moments) as well as absorbing most of the new and often complex information with relative ease. We had plenty of space for questions and sharing of experiences, and I also very much appreciated Rob's own healing abilities and his delicate handling of any individual difficulties that arose.
The training has been very thorough, fun at many points but extremely serious in its intentions and verification of learning. There is a lot of between sessions work which is both demanding and empowering. During the course I compiled pages and pages of questions – everyone of them has been answered by the end so I really feel like I have grasped most details of this complex material. Insights into the meta medicine model were constant and there were also numerous insights into my own personal issues.
Rob van Overbruggen is very skilled at staying on topic and keeping the information clean, clear and precise and usually simple. He's good at breaking the complexities down so we can understand each and every component which makes the learning and remembering more complete.
He uses imaginative and entertaining materials which also helps it stick in your mind.
It's pbvious he uses the infomation he teaches and has a real interest and high level of skill, not only with Biocompass® but also with the interventions.
Thanks Rob 🙂
Biocompass® is the most incredible subject I have learned. Despite its complexity Rob van Overbruggen delivered the information in a way I could understand or ask questions. It was fun and insightful.
I cannot wait to do archetypes
Thank you for the most incredible learning experience of my life
Rob brings absolute clarity to the training.
It is very well structured – he bridges the gap is understanding the messages, which could otherwise feel – overwhelming – complicated.
We had fun – learnt heaps
What a fantastic tool Biocompass® is!
I found this training informative, enlightening and most of all something that I could use both as a personal and professional level.
Rob van Overbruggen was direct and extremely knowledgeble about the material. He was open and honest and has left me wanting to learn more
Makes a complex, thorough process very clear and easy to use.
Broke the process down into easily learned – remembered steps.
Builds confidence in your ability to use the knowledge base to help yourself and others
Rob van Overbruggen delivers his training in a fun way despite the complex nature of the material.
He has broken down the training and delivered it in a way that kept me interested and my energy levels up despite the high intenstity.
Biocompass® is exciting and I cannot wait to put it into action
Insightful, enjoyable, empowering, fun!
Rob van Overbruggen is a wonderful presenter, very engaging – has a lovely easy manner.
Thanks Rob!

Welcome one and all to the grand unveiling of Almost Ramen. Now you may be finding yourself, reading to yourself, thinking to yourself, "almost ramen huh, but why, and what. Soliloquies are pretty dope. Persona 5 is gonna be so awesome. I wonder if virtual reality is actually living up to the hype. More importantly, do I have any ramen?".
Well words alone can't express what, and certainly why Almost Ramen came to be, at least not yet. For that reason, the comic "Almost Ramen – The Origins" was created. This folks, documents the live occurrences that led up to where we are now. Read at your own discretion.
Yes, indeed, at it's core Almost Ramen, actually has a solid, logical-based reason for existence. It all started seven years ago, back when I, kamisan, was known as kamikun. I had just gone grocery shopping and attained the holy grail of ramen goodness. Was about to indulge in the mighty fine deliciousness, when I dropped the container, and accidentally stepped on it, four to five times repeatedly. At that given moment in time, I almost had ramen. And so on that legitimate August day, specifically the sixth, I swore to bring ramen to all, though in a more perfect, completely different form.
Almost Ramen, is the cultural, emotional deliciousness all have come to expect from ramen, leveled up to a 100% perfect almost form. That is, we're not talking actual oshii noodles, we're talking everything ramen could have potentially aspired to be. And so Almost Ramen is exactly that – Japanese Culture, Geek Approved, Twitch Streams, Gaming Deliciousness.
And so once and for all, welcome my friends to Almost Ramen, the best hot spot for the most delicious gaming, anime, twitch news and updates.
Never Actually Ramen,

I have stayed in various Marriott properties in the US, including Four Seasons -- and I have to say, that staying here in Marriott Manila is much better than any of those locations! The spa/jacuzzi, and pool amenities is comparable with Four Seasons, but the concierge lounge and the international breakfast buffet in Marriott Manila pushes this location up higher in the scale. Plus the hospitality of the staff of native Filipinos makes it like home. Always try to stay in this property whenever I come out here on vacation, and always gets impressed. This time, got the suite, and it was superb.
Love it!
PS. Special shout out to Aubrey Manuyag of the executive level staff for going beyond, and for her courteous, professional and friendly service!

In this article, we reflect on the gendered contours of young Kashmiris' dissident practices against the Indian military occupation of the Kashmir Valley. It is largely based on ethnographic research that coincided with the launch of an ongoing, predominantly nonviolent people's movement in which youth have played a prominent role. The article shows how university students' and young professionals' "small activism" is entangled in the gendered dynamics of militarization and dissent, while underlining the threat posed by "security forces" to women's "honor" and "dignity." In the context of widespread societal anxiety about "dishonor," young Kashmiris' urge to reclaim dignity at once motivates them to practice dissent and narrows the scope for female dissidents' capacity to act upon this drive overtly. The present case suggests that recent anthropological interest in global youth cultural practices may be supplemented with a recognition of local constraints on young people's public opposition that arise in circumstances of (gendered) state oppression.
Staging "small, small incidents"
Dissent, gender, and militarization among young people in Kashmir
Thomas van der Molen and Ellen Bal
A Time without Soldiers
Writing about Kashmir Today
Suvir Kaul
In this article I ask what it means to turn to scholarly analysis to understand better the historical lineages of an urgent contemporary political situation. I first wrote on Kashmir in a journalistic fashion because I was appalled by the militarization and routine suspension of civil rights that I saw when I went there in 2003. Since then I have been thinking of analytical frames in which to provide a longer history for the political mess I observed and continue to observe, which leads me to read in the "field" in order to understand issues as they developed before 1989—when militancy in Kashmir broke out. What limits on my understanding are put in place by my early writing, which was motivated by sorrow and anger, rather than by the criteria that we expect motivates historical analysis? What kinds of insight are enabled by that same beginning?
Events and Effects
Intensive Transnationalism among Pakistanis in Denmark
Mikkel Rytter
Analyzing the period of 'intensive transnationalism' among Pakistani migrants in Denmark precipitated by the 2005 earthquake in Kashmir, this article explores the relationship between events and effects on a global scale. One significant initiative after the disaster was the founding of an ad hoc association, Medical Doctors in Assistance to the Earthquake Victims in Pakistan, which consisted mainly of medical workers with a Pakistani background. The article discusses the wax and wane of this association and its impact in three interconnected contexts: family objectives, community dynamics, and national identity politics in Denmark. Despite the medical doctors' efforts and intentions, the outcome was framed by 9/11, which has become the major critical event of the decade—one that has supported a developing cleavage between the Danish majority and Denmark's Muslim immigrant minority.

Rent a Trailer
Camper-Trailer Rentals (See Below for Photos)
So you want to experience the great outdoors, nature's tranquility, and maybe even a bit of camping, but you don't like "roughing it"? Maybe the thought of sleeping on the ground in a tent is not your cup of hot chocolate? Do you like to sleep with four walls and a roof around you?

Celebrating and inspiring entrepreneurship
To help businesses go further
Royal Enfield reborn as Redditch industrial park
The former Redditch manufacturing site of the iconic Royal Enfield motorcycles is to be re-developed into factory and warehouse units.
Local firm EDR Developments Ltd is behind the scheme on what was most recently an old plating works, with property agents John Truslove carrying out the marketing.
Derelict buildings, some dating back to the Royal Enfield era, have been demolished and work started in February with completion in the summer.
A total of 11 units will be constructed, totalling 24,210 sq ft. Darren Ellis, a director of EDR Developments Ltd, said: "We are making a very significant investment which will bring employment to this area of the town.
"Aesthetically it will also make things a lot better than what has gone before."
On Hewell Road, it will be known as Royal Enfield Business Park and is a part of the wider Enfield Industrial Estate.
Ian Parker, a director at John Truslove, added: "Following Hepworth Park and Acanthus Park – both marketed by us – being fully let, this is the only speculative development ongoing in Redditch.
"This shows confidence in the market where demand for flexible space has been evident for some time. We are expecting plenty of interest in this high-profile location."
The Royal Enfield story began with the manufacture of parts for the Enfield rifle – the legacy of weapons manufacture was reflected in its logo comprising a cannon and the motto "Made like a gun". Royal Enfield was the brand name under which the Enfield Motor Cycle Company, founded in 1909, manufactured motorcycles, bicycles, lawnmowers and stationary engines.
During World War I Royal Enfield supplied the War Department with consignments of motorbikes fitted with sidecars capable of carrying stretchers. Other versions featured a Vickers machine gun sidecar attachment which could also be turned skywards and used against low flying aircraft.
Royal Enfield was loved, and continues to be loved, by enthusiasts, famed for the Royal Enfield Bullet, the longest-lived motorcycle design in history.
But, as with much of the British motorcycle industry, Japanese competition sent the company to the wall. Production of motorcycles ceased in 1970 and the original Redditch, Worcestershire-based company was dissolved in 1971.
BQ's commercial property updates are supported by specialist lender Together, which provides funding to businesses and property investors nationwide. With over forty years' experience in the financial services industry, Together offers short-term finance, auction finance, buy-to-let, residential and commercial mortgages and secured loans.

The Truth About Amber Teething Necklaces
Somewhere in between my daughter's sixth and seventh month, she turned from my perfectly sweet, angelically beautiful, chubby-cheeked cherub baby into a raving lunatic.
Suddenly, she refused to sleep, refused to let me put her down, and refused to be anything other than a Little Miss Cranky Pants.
She went from kind-of, sort-of sleeping at night to absolutely never sleeping at night unless she was literally attached to my boob or sleeping on top of me in the rocking chair. And even then, a lot of nights, she was screaming, restless, and miserable.
And she wasn't the only one.
Like many mothers before me, I, of course, pinpointed teething as the culprit behind my child's horrendous behavior, and after a few weeks of torture, I was desperate to come up with a solution.
{ MORE: The More You Know: All About Kids and Kombucha }
Infant medications didn't seem to touch her discomfort, homeopathic teething tablets appeared to be no better than air, and aside from letting her suck down her big sisters' popsicles, I couldn't keep anything truly cold and comforting in her mouth long enough for it to help.
I was at my wits' end, so even though I am at heart a skeptic, I decided to give one of the amber teething necklaces a try. I picked one up at a health store, told my husband that desperate times called for desperate measures, and debuted it on her (much to her siblings' delight) one night after dinner.
{ MORE: Alternative Methods to Ease Teething Pain }But, of course, being the nurse and skeptic I am, I had to do my research on them. I was absolutely petrified that the necklace would somehow choke her in her sleep, so I was not going to slap that thing on her without very good reason.
I put out my Facebook feelers to start because, of course, I rely on my mom friends who know where it's at, and immediately got a ton of positive affirmations for the teething necklaces. The overwhelming majority of moms swore by them, would never have believed the difference they made, noticed immediately when the child wasn't wearing it, etc., etc. so I was definitely intrigued.
What my research uncovered, however, was not as promising:
- Even holistic websites admit that they have no clue why the things work.
- Teething desperation is real. One study showed that parents just don't care if the necklaces work or are dangerous. They will still have their babies wear them.
- The American Academy of Pediatrics advises against the use of teething necklaces.
- Science-Based Medicine gave a nice breakdown, dispelling the different theories of how the necklaces work, from theories on their magnetic properties to the supposed content of succinct acid as a natural pain-relief agent.
In short, there is no real, scientific proof or explanation for how and if amber teething necklaces can work. But for many moms — and I know this feeling all too well — if there's any glimmer of hope that it will work, it's worth a shot. Science only goes so far, in my opinion, and there's a lot we don't know.
For us, I made a compromise with myself to only allow my daughter to wear the necklace when she was awake and being supervised, which, as you can imagine, proved too hard for me to keep up on. I will say, though, that a few days after I bought it, we flew on a family trip to Disney World with all four kids, and with her in the carrier with me, she was happy as a clam the entire time.
But then I lost the necklace during our trip, so my experiment was short lived, and I am back to toughing our teething sessions out. I'll never know for sure if it would have worked for us, but in the end, the necklace wasn't a good choice for our family.
What do you think? Do amber teething necklaces work?
Disclaimer: Obviously you should speak with your child's care provider before using an amber teething necklace, and please be aware that any small objects, such as the stones used in the necklace, can pose a choking hazard.

FCT To Make Safety Of Corps Members Top Priority
The minister of the Federal Capital Territory Mohammad Bello says government is working hard to make security of corps members in and outside orientation camps a top priority.
FCT To Make Safety Of Corps Members Top Priority
The minister said this during the opening ceremony of the 2018 batch "b" orientation programme in Abuja.
As the national youth service corps opened its orientation camps across the country for the 2018 batch "b" service year, the concern of parents has been the safety of their wards considering the current worrisome state of security across the country.

The Minister of the FCT Mohammed Bello however says government will continue to ensure the safety of all corps members throughout the service year.
Coordinator of the NYSC scheme in FCT Bello Balama expressed regret over the death of Angela Igwetu who was killed by a trigger happy policeman a night to her graduation.
Some of the corps members pledged to serve their fatherland to the best of their ability.
Over two thousand, nine hundred and sixteen corps members have so far been registered for the three-week exercise.

No children in quarter of Church of England congregations
There are no children in the smallest 25% of the Church of England's congregations, figures have shown.
On average, nine children attended each service across all Church of England churches in 2016 - a "sobering reminder of the long-term challenge we face", the church's ruling body said.
Usual Sunday attendance at church in 2016 was 739,000 people - 14% lower than in 2006.
But the Church says it is now reaching 1.2 million people online every month.
That is more than those who make it to the pews.
According to the annual Mission Statistics, the worshipping community of the Church of England - the people who go to church once a month or more - stood at 1.1 million in 2016.
Of these, 20% were under the age of 18 and 31% were aged 70 or over.
Attendance peaked during the Christmas period, when 2.58 million attended churches.
The statistics do not include services in prisons, hospitals, schools, military chapels and university chaplaincies.
The number of baptisms, marriages, and funerals held in Church of England churches have also declined since 2006, with the largest change seen in a 39% decline in funerals at crematoria and cemeteries.
"The figures confirm the urgency of the challenges we face, especially as we want to become a growing church for all people in all places," Mike Eastwood, director of Renewal and Reform for the Church of England said.
The decline in church attendance in the last decade is higher in children than adults.
"This challenge is likely to persist for some years ahead," William Nye, secretary general to the General Synod, said.
Digital following
In a bid to tackle the problem, the Church established a Renewal and Reform programme.
Meanwhile, the Church of England is managing to connect to a virtual audience online, a year after launching a new digital project.
Videos, podcasts, blogs and images including prayers are reaching some 1.2 million people a month through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn, according to the statistics from the Church.
A further 2.5 million were reached before Easter, through the #LiveLent social media campaign.
The Church has managed to triple its number of followers on Facebook and Instagram in the last year, according to Adrian Harris, head of digital communications for the Church.
The three-year digital project is part of the Church's Renewal and Reform programme.

Retail Ready Branding and Packaging
The first stage of our 'get ready for retail' service is designed to optimise the performance of your product on shelf, by developing impactful branding and packaging.
A large store may have something like 40,000 products on the shelves.
This means that strong branding and effective packaging are an essential part of your sales process.
Remember – large retail stores are looking to sell in high volumes, so if your branding and packaging aren't professional enough to jump off the shelf, the store's retail category buyer will not be interested.
Your product's price point on the shelf in comparison to similar products is also critical, and the cost of packaging plays a significant role in that as well.
A retail buyer is far more likely to stock your product if they can see that your packaging will appeal to the store's customers.
The Oval Products Approach to Retail Ready Branding and Packaging
- Evaluate your branding
The Oval Products team will evaluate your branding to determine whether it is likely to work in high volume retail. If not, or if you don't yet have a brand name or logo, we will develop them for you.
This branding process will give your product a strong hook into consumers and also increase your likelihood of being listed by large retail stores.
- Analyse your packaging
We will need to look in detail at your product's packaging because this is so crucial to getting good sales. With well designed packaging, your product will also be of much greater appeal to category buyers.
If necessary, Oval Products will design or re-design your packaging to make sure your product has high visibility on the shelves of large retailers. Not only that – we can help control the cost of your product packaging in relation to the retail price and your margin.
To further increase your product listing by large retailers, we can also develop shelf-ready or counter-top packs, as well as highly visible, branded merchandising units.
- Arrange printing and production
Once we have the final solution for your retail ready packaging in hand, we can then arrange the printing and production.
We have an excellent network including some of the world's best packaging printers to ensure your packs, labels and merchandising units meet the high standards required by large retail stores.

Lecture with Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen
Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen: Professor of Politics, Aarhus University & Professor of Philosophy, Tromsø University
Title: Age-based inequalities in health: Do relational and distributive egalitarianism have conflicting implications?
Abstract: In any normal population, health is very unequally distributed across different age groups. Are such age-based health inequalities unjust? Recently, a divide has developed within egalitarian theories of justice between relational egalitarians, whose focus lies on the egalitarian nature of social relations, and luck egalitarians, whose focus lies on distributions of goods such as welfare or resources. Interestingly, it may seem as if the two accounts imply conflicting answers to the opening question. Against this appearance, I argue that some, but not all, forms of luck egalitarianism condemn age-based health inequalities, while some, but not all, forms of relational egalitarianism do not. Accordingly, the case of age-based health inequalities cannot be used as a test case in the disagreement between relational and luck egalitarians. In the course of developing this line of argument, I explore the distinction between whole lives and time-relative relational egalitarianism – a distinction, which so far is largely unexplored in the literature. In closing, I offer two arguments for the view that age-based health inequalities are not unjust (whether undesirable for other reasons or not).

Something mysterious is terrorizing Emily Blunt and John Krasinski in the new teaser for A Quiet Place. Krasinski co-wrote and directed the supernatural horror film, coming on April 6th, 2018 from Paramount Pictures.
A Quiet Place marks the first time married couple Blunt and Krasinski appear together in a live-action film (they both did voice work on the animated Animal Crackers). Krasinski re-wrote the script, originally written by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, and took on the task of directing himself and his own wife in what looks like a harrowing survival horror exercise. Michael Bay produced through his Platinum Dunes banner.
Related: John Krasinski Stars in Jack Ryan Trailer
Plot details for A Quiet Place are being kept hush-hush, but the new teaser from Paramount Pictures offers some hints. The trailer shows a young girl sprawled out on a sandy beach, apparently enjoying a nice, sunny tropical day. It then cuts to a cornfield, revealing that the girl was only daydreaming of being on the beach. The trailer methodically sets up the movie's basic situation: the girl and her family are living on a farm in the woods, and there's some kind of horrible, looming threat they're trying to protect themselves from.
Sand comes up again when the teaser shows Krasinski, sporting a big beard, spreading some on the ground. It seems the sand is there to dampen the sound of the family's footsteps as they travel around on a trail through the forest. This is just one of many precautions the family has to take in order to avoid making noise, including not speaking. "Listen closely," the titles warn viewers, setting up the movie's rules. "Move carefully. And never make a sound."
What happens if the family breaks the rules? The trailer makes it plain that, if anyone makes the slightest noise, something horrible will happen. In the scariest shot, what look like huge claw-marks have been gouged out of the wall leading up a flight of stairs, confirming that something very dangerous is lurking there. Then the kids are playing a game of Monopoly, not using the normal game pieces because they'd be too loud, and one of them knocks over a gas lantern. In a panic, Krasinski rushes over to put out the fire, but by now it's too late. Whatever the monster was that tore up the wall has been alerted and is coming to hunt down the family.
What kind of monster is this, anyway? An alien? A scary kid-eating clown? A Demogorgon from the Upside Down? The movie's premise, which basically means that most of the action has to play out in tension-inducing silence, sounds promising. Moviegoers will find out next year if A Quiet Place puts an interesting and scary spin on survival horror, or turns out to be just another standard genre exercise.

Justice Department Seeks to Shut Down Utah Tax Preparer
The Justice Department announced that on Nov. 1, 2013, it asked a federal court to bar Sergio Fernando Sosa and his company, Sergio Centro Latino, from preparing tax returns for others. The civil injunction suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, alleges that Sosa, who has been preparing returns in Orem, Utah since at least 1994, routinely prepares federal tax returns for individuals and corporations that improperly claim deductions and result in understated federal tax liabilities for his customers.
The complaint also alleges that Sosa prepares federal tax returns for his customers that falsely claim unqualified individuals as dependents, and that include false claims or inflated claims related to the Earned Income Tax Credit, false claims or inflated claims related to the Additional Child Tax Credit, false inclusion of expenses and deductions related to fictitious business entities, underreported income and inflated expenses of legitimate business entities, and failure to calculate or incorrect calculation of self-employment tax liabilities. According to the complaint, Sosa has continued to engage in this conduct despite the fact that numerous penalties have been assessed against him for similar violations of the tax code.
The complaint alleges that Sosa's actions have resulted in an estimated loss of as much as $416 million to the United States for tax returns prepared since 2008.
Return preparer fraud is one of the Internal Revenue Service's Dirty Dozen Tax Scams for 2013, which can be viewed at www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/IRS-Releases-the-Dirty-Dozen-Tax-Scams-for-2013 . The Internal Revenue Service has tips for choosing a tax preparer: www.irs.gov/Tax-Professionals/Choosing-a-Tax-Professional . In the past decade, the Justice Department's Tax Division has obtained injunctions against hundreds of unscrupulous tax preparers. Information about these cases is available on the Justice Department website at www.justice.gov/tax/taxpress2013.htm

The skills and experience needed for a sushi chef
Here in Japan, they call the sushi chef as an itamae. It is not just easy to become a cook or an itamae. In becoming the chef, you have to have the skills that are needed. In Japan, there are certain rules that one has to follow also if he wants to be the chef. In the infographic, you could see the needed skills and also the training or experience that one must have so he can become a chef. Here is the infographic.
You can see the detailed explanation and enumeration of the required skills of learning to become a cook of the sushi. It is one of the best menus of Japanese cuisine and it really has the great importance to the people as part of the food intake. They could also have it in their homes but one could also taste the one which they have in restaurants. There is no required perfect step as a chef could be able to put his creativity into cooking and presenting the food.
That is what makes also japanese people in the good advantage as they take the trade like their own. They ensure that quality and standard is met and at a certain level. But it is not just in the strict sense as there is room to impart the own creativity, knowledge, experience and the love of the itamae or anyone that would cook any of the food, not just the sushi. So have fun on your food adventure.

The Cultural Revolution Comes to America's Campuses
Today's undergraduates probably know little, if anything, about the cataclysmic movement in China known as the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. It began in 1966 before all of them (and even a great number of their professors) were born. This massive national crusade, instigated by Chairman Mao Zedong, was intended to create a pure communist man and woman, devoid of the constraints of materialism and personal ambition.
It started with the closing of the schools and the re-education of intellectuals and the bourgeoisie and ended up with years of incredible violence, taking millions of lives. The actual statistics are still a state secret, but a recent biography of Mao states "at least 3 million people died violent deaths and post-Mao leaders acknowledged that 100 million people, one-ninth of the entire population, suffered in one way or another."
I got a personal look at the remnants of the Cultural Revolution in 1979 when on an "activist's" tour of China. The country was still extraordinarily impoverished and primitive. Propagandistic thought control was everywhere, broadcast on loudspeakers and splayed out on ubiquitous billboards urging the masses to "Criticize Lin Biao and Confucius" (Lin Biao was a former ally, then competitor, of Mao's who died in a mysterious plane crash) or "Smash the Gang of Four," one of whom was Mao's wife, then in disrepute. Whenever you asked a question of your interpreters, even a bland one, you got a rote response. Everyone was too timid to say anything the slightest bit controversial. Newspeak reigned. It was like living in Orwell's 1984 five years early.
So you will excuse me if, from the outset, when I heard how our college campuses were being overtaken with these new-fangled "trigger warnings" and "microagressions," perfect Maoist terminology for our computerized times, it immediately gave me the heebie-jeebies. Thought control, via political correctness, had come to America in the very spot it had begun in China -- the schools.
Recent events at the University of Missouri and Yale (where I attended graduate school), plus now other institutions, have only increased my apprehension. It's not at the level of the Cultural Revolution -- professors haven't been asked to wear dunce caps yet and no one (to my knowledge) has been killed -- but the portents are not reassuring.
Mob rule, not anything close to democracy, is at play. The so-called SJWs (Social Justice Warriors) seem to be functioning as early avatars of the infamous Red Guard, bullying and then threatening violence to anyone whose thoughts run outside what is deemed to be correct.
College professors and administrators quiver in their path. In the case of Mizzou, the president resigned before any concrete evidence of racism was made manifest. It still hasn't been days later. At dear old Yale, it's even more bizarre because there were no imputations of racism in the first place, only that there might have been or might be. Forget Bull Connor and the KKK, inappropriate Halloween costumes were the new danger. It was all about having a "safe space" so feelings wouldn't be hurt, as if the world could be perfect and the human species remade for an extraordinarily fragile generation of coddled students.
Some people ridicule these students as "snowflakes" unable to stand up to the slightest discomfiting words or images. But it is far worse than that. These so-called "snowflakes" are the potential shock troops of the aforementioned Red Guard, American style. There is a fine line between the extreme entitlement that demands to be warned before reading Ovid's Metamorphoses (as happened recently at Columbia) and a kind of narcissistic rage acting out against any presumed enemy in its path. How do you think the CR actually happened in China? Yes, the country was significantly poorer, but the psychological evolution was strikingly similar.
So think twice if you don't think it could happen here. Who would have thought the president of one of our great public universities would lose his job in part because someone said he saw a swastika written in feces on one of the bathroom walls, which now, suddenly, no one can find and might have been a photograph in the first place, if it ever existed?
As we say in Hollywood, it's "The Crucible Meets Animal Farm," the Salem witch trials meets four legs good, two legs bad. But the professors who teach those anti-fascist masterworks aren't doing anything to defend against it. Lobotomized by political correctness they attempt to be even-handed, in the way many did with Mao and Stalin. The same results await them.
And we citizens sit outside our great universities and watch the conflagration. It's only just begun.
The Campus Purges are Only Going to Get a Lot Worse

The Washington Post reports:
Anti-racists protesters and activists continued to make their way to downtown Washington early Sunday afternoon to counter a white supremacist rally scheduled to begin at 5:30. As many as 400 people are expected to make their way to Lafayette Park across the street from the White House later to take part in the event planned by the organizer of last year's deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville.
In Washington, thousands protesting the white supremacist rally also are expected at numerous locations, and many plan to converge on Lafayette Park, before the organizer of the rally, Jason Kessler, and his followers arrive. Both Kessler and opposition groups have permits from the National Park Service to demonstrate at the park, a leafy seven-acre enclave just across Pennsylvania Avenue from the president's residence.
By 12:30, close to a thousand protesters had arrived at Freedom Plaza, a few blocks away from Lafayette Park for an afternoon rally of speeches and music. D.C. police could be seen early Sunday walking the streets near the park as officials began shutting down several downtown streets where protesters are expected to gather.

Ahead of this week's episode of Gotham season 4, we have our best look yet at Selina's new Catwoman costume. While Gotham has never exactly been shy about embracing its comic book roots, the show has moved further into that territory as it's gone along. Season 3 kicked things into high gear with a number of big villain introductions (from the Mad Hatter to Mr. Freeze) and season 4 isn't slowing things down.
In the first few episodes of Gotham season 4, we've already seen Butch become Solomon Grundy, Jonathan Crane turn into Scarecrow, and Professor Pyg emerge. We've also been treated to Bruce Wayne finally taking on his role as Gotham's protector, with a suit and mask to match. Though some of these storylines have been put on hold, the theme of of Gotham season 4 seems to be all about bringing the various heroes and villains closer to their destiny. While Selina Kyle has found herself on the back burner thus far, this week's episode looks to give her a big push towards becoming Catwoman.
RELATED: Gotham's Professor Pyg To Get Musical Number
The Gotham Twitter posted a brand-new photo of Camren Bicondova as Selina in this Thursday's 'A Day in the Narrow' (see the photo included below). In it, we get our best look at yet at the character's updated proto-Catwoman costume in season 4.
The new number certainly calls to mind the idea of Catwoman, while still remaining relatively true to what Selina's worn in the past. She's always had a penchant for black, leather, and hoods, so all she was really missing was some sort of mask. Interestingly, last season saw her wearing goggles similar to a number of previous iterations of Catwoman, but those seem to have been cast aside for a domino mask. While it's certainly more pulpy than the eyewear she used to have, the mask works far better than Bruce's clunky facial covering.
Although Gotham season 4 has already teases Selina's costume upgrade, this image proves that fans will be a proper look at the outfit in this week's episode. It also shows how the Sirens are positioning themselves as more colorful vigilantes on the series, as they step up their efforts to carve out a slice of Gotham City for themselves. Selina won't be alone in her ascension to becoming a supervillain, either.
Ivy Pepper has once again been recast on Gotham, with Peyton List taking over the role of Poison Ivy, picking up from the character's ingestion of a number of mysterious potions in a previous episode. This new version of the character will not only be older, but will also possess the powers of Poison Ivy in the comics. Chances are good that she will join forces with Selina and the other Sirens soon, setting up a powerful new dynasty in Gotham in the process.
NEXT: Gotham Gives Bruce A New Love Interest
Gotham continues this Thursday with 'A Day in the Narrows' on FOX.

One of the things I'd like to do with this blog is profile some Indie authors and maybe introduce them to a few new readers. For that reason, I asked my friend and fellow Rave Reviews Book Club member, Robin Lindzer to tell you about her newly published YA novel, One Wish. This is Robin's first book, and I hope you'll check it out the next time you're visiting Amazon.
Robin, the floor is yours.
"The premise of the book is that a 12 year-old boy (named Josh) is given a puzzle box that hasn't been solved in over 600 years. When he takes it home, he solves it, and out pops a genie–one who has been stuck in the box for those 600+ years. She appears in front of Josh and grants him one wish.
If you were only given one wish, what would you wish for?
Josh wishes for something unimaginable, and the adventures begin, complete with an evil Jinn named Iblis that loves to complicate the main characters' lives.
I got the idea for the book when one day, daydreaming. I thought if a genie were to give me one wish, what would I wish for? That started the whole process going, and I wrote the book.
I'm already working on the second book, tentatively entitled, Wish Masters. However, I'm finding that the second book might actually be the third book; I haven't decided yet.
I have no writing quirks, really. I just plop down in front of my computer every morning and write. Sometimes what comes out is pure drivel; other items that come out are like gems found deep in a rock. It's the writer's job to chip away at that rock, in order to bring out said gem–the book.
To get in contact with me, you can find me at Facebook under Robin Lindzer
On Twitter, I'm on as @rlindzer"

Dear Students, Parents and Community,
There is always something happening at WOHS and October was no exception! The Homecoming 2018 week was a blast as students exhibited school spirit and participated in daily festivities. The Class of 2020 pulled off the upset by upending the Senior class for total points during the week. WOHS Student Senate did a magnificent job of planning and executing a fun-filled and action packed week culminating with the Homecoming dance. Our students demonstrated true Panther Pride all week long and will remember Homecoming 2018 forever.
West Ottawa High School, led by our two college advisers, Ms. Anderson and Ms. Ramos celebrated College Application Week in October as well. Many events such as FAFSA and Financial Aid nights, application assistance, college visits and college spirit week were held. Our mission is to "prepare students to be college, career and life ready," and the initiatives such as these allow that to happen. Be sure to follow our College Advisers on Twitter at @GoWO_College for more information. You may also contact them at any time by emailing email@example.com or email@example.com.
Finally, WOHS recently hosted a community viewing of Angst, a film about anxiety in youth. Nearly 100 people attended the showing of the documentary, but more importantly engaged in the critical dialogue surrounding mental health. Our entire student body watched the film during the school day to also raise awareness around teenage anxiety. We look forward to offering more opportunities for the school to engage in important conversations with our parents and community regarding mental health in the future. Our goal is to build a culture at WOHS that is "stigma free."
The WOHS Theater Department presents the fall musical Grease on November 2, 3, 4, 9 and 10. Please visit the Theater Ticketing site to purchase tickets. You do not want to miss the WOHS version of this all-time favorite!
Veterans Day 2018
Each year West Ottawa High School recognizes our country's Veterans by holding a Veterans Day assembly. This year the event will be held on November 12, 2018. We will continue our tradition of honoring all Veterans in attendance, along with many other tributes to those who have served in the military. Please share the below information with any Veteran and invite them to our assembly.
Thank you for all of your support thus far during the 2018-19 school year. The attendance at the Parent Teacher Conferences was outstanding. We are so proud to partner with all of you as we prepare students to be College, Career and Life Ready.
Thank you, and as always, Go WO!
Mr. Reinecke
