A verse of Juan Rodolfo Wilcock's.
unless you want memory to devour all
and leave no space for the present,
I often see you now beneath the trees,
the streets repeat you, the bathtub,
rooms, records, and the sea's the same
From Juan Rodolfo Wilcock, Poesie (Adelphi, 1996)
Translated by Alexander Booth in the newsletter of the Friends of the Non-Catholic Cemetery in Rome.

BALTIMORE — As Brett Gardner raced around the bases after hitting his second home run of the night, and his 11th of the season, his thousand-mile stare was fixed on the visitors' dugout near third base. His target: Matt Holliday.
One inning earlier, after he himself had hit his second shot of the night, Holliday had reminded Gardner that he had moved ahead of him in homers this season. This was Gardner's retort.
"We've got a little competition going," Holliday said. "It's kind of sad considering I'm about 50 pounds heavier and much, much taller."
It was a laugher of a night all around for the Yankees, who used the four home runs from Gardner and Holliday and an outstanding performance from Luis Severino to whip the Baltimore Orioles, 8-3, on Tuesday night.
The victory was not as comfortable as the Yankees would have liked, with Didi Gregorius taking a fastball off his left hand — he said X-rays were negative — and Dellin Betances needing to get up in the bullpen at the start of the ninth inning.
But for a team that has begun to stall after a torrid start to the season, the Yankees relished a rare night in a cozy American League East ballpark filled with few fraught moments. They pounced on the Orioles' ace, Chris Tillman, who had beaten the Yankees in his past three starts against them but is clearly not the same after missing all of spring training and April with bursitis in his right shoulder.
In the first, after taking Tillman's first two pitches for balls, Gardner jumped on a chest-high fastball, which he lashed into the right-field seats. After Tillman retired Gary Sanchez, Holliday reached down and hooked a 1-0 slider into the left-field seats.
Aaron Judge's scintillating start, with his 17 home runs leading to speculation about a most valuable player candidacy — "I want to get a World Series ring first; I'm not getting paid enough to worry about M.V.P. right now," he said — has somewhat obscured the contributions of other Yankees.
At the top of the list is Gardner, who has now exceeded his home run total from last season and seems a good bet to reach his career high of 17. Holliday, meanwhile, has added a steady, veteran presence as an anchor in the lineup. Although he was beset by injuries in his final two seasons with St. Louis, Holliday might have been expected to deliver power.
Other Yankees seem to enjoy Gardner's power surge. Third baseman Chase Headley called him Hercules. And Judge called him "a little ball of muscle."
"The little guy can hit 'em," Holliday said. "It's been fun to watch. When you have a guy up at the top of the lineup, it puts a lot of pressure on the other team. Having a guy that can start the game with a home run is a nice weapon."
Gardner had a good first week of the season but then violently collided with Tampa Bay first baseman Rickie Weeks and tailed off for the rest of April. He has been on a tear in May.
He has an unconventional swing, often lashing at the ball with one hand, but he is able to deliver power with it.
"I've always tried, or wanted to, but it's a matter of mechanically everything syncing up in my approach and everything just working right and going well together," he said. "The last four or five weeks, my balance has been really good, my timing has been really good, pretty good rhythm. I've been in a good place."
Gardner was not the only Yankee in a good place Tuesday night. Everyone in the starting lineup had at least one hit except for Rob Refsnyder, who was getting his first start of the season at first base. Starlin Castro, Judge, Aaron Hicks and Headley each had two hits, with Judge driving in two runs on a double to right-center field.
The Yankees, who built an 8-0 lead by the end of the fourth inning, made it a smooth night for Severino, who allowed seven hits — four of which did not leave the infield — while striking out eight and walking one. He was unfortunate to allow a run in the sixth when the Orioles pieced together a walk and three infield hits, all to Gregorius.
After the runner scored, and after a brief visit from the pitching coach Larry Rothschild, Severino struck out Joey Rickard on three pitches, the final one a devastating slider.
The competition between Gardner and Holliday is not so one-sided.
After Holliday hit his second homer, sending an 87-mile-per-hour fastball from Tillman just inside the left-field foul pole to begin the third, he had a few words for Gardner, who answered in the fourth with his homer off Logan Verrett.
"I got to 3-1 and was looking for a heater and got it right where I wanted it and didn't miss it," Gardner said. "I wouldn't say I felt any pressure, but it was nice to pull back even with him."
Gardner figures he might have a hard time keeping up with Holliday, but he did have an idea of what could be at stake for the two sluggers, with clean-shaven scalps.
"The loser has to grow his hair out for a month," he said.
JACOBY ELLSBURY, who is eligible to come off the seven-day concussion disabled list on Thursday, could be activated for the weekend series in Toronto, Manager Joe Girardi said. Ellsbury, who complained of headaches on Sunday, hit in the indoor batting cages and did some light running on Tuesday.

"Mary, it (the Soul Power workshop) was everything I was looking for to be ME. Loved all the people, I can still hear Diana's laugh in my head. It was fun digging into my new self. I do feel uplifted and open, and I thank you. I think being in the smaller groups I was more willing to open up. All my past judgments overruled my true self. I don't consider myself shy or quiet, but I had a lot bottled up. Not NO more! I feel good and like me. Loved, loved the whole experience. Thank you." ~ Heidi, WI
"My wife had recently passed away. I was lost and confused were my life was headed. I was having visions and feeling things I had never felt before. One day about two years ago my daughter asked me if I wanted to go to a holistic fair I agreed but I still had a lot of reservations about the whole concept. This is where I met Angela and for the first time things started to make sense. We talked on a weekly basic for a while and in one of these conversations she told me about a past life of mine. She told me I had been a seer for a king. While serving the king I had seen things the king did not believe or threatened him so he had me stoned to death. In the stoning my third eye was severely damaged. At that time the story was interesting but I didn't pay much attention to it. There were many times I felt I was somewhere else or I thought I was moving somewhere but could not see much of anything. When I saw that Angela and her psychic friends were creating a Soul Power workshop I was eager to attend. While at Soul Power I learned many things about myself. All the physics were amazing, thoughtful and compassionate. The most important thing for me was to ask or even demand for the things you want to have. I left Soul Power with more confidence an a stronger determination. After returning home and going to bed for the evening I woke up around three AM. I felt a pressure on my brow between my eyes. It frightened at first. I then asked who was there and what they were doing. A voice told me they were fixing my third eye. Ok I said! In a few minutes I could see but things were still blurry and asked if that could be fixed.Almost instantly I could see perfectly. What was next was absolutely amazing. I was moving and seeing where I was going. I started flying over the pyramids then into space, a beautiful dark blue. Then to places I have never seen before. They were all so clear and amazing. After leaving there I started seeing many unknown faces. Faces of people I know I will meet in the future. All this was possible because I demanded to see. I wish to thank all of these talented and gifted psychics for their dedication to everyones enlightenment! ~ Leonard, WI

Update: After just one day of operation, the Nova Labs drone program to enforce Reston Association covenants was summarily cancelled.
Our drones discovered that a number of the association's Directors were in violation of various covenants and so they decided that human enforcement was 'good enough.' It was quite shocking actually. These were some of the filthiest gutters we've ever seen.

Just a few updates from this week!
- After articles highlighting Taco Bell's mysterious meat went live, Taco Bell fans were livid by the news and online to voice their opinions. Though the product contains 88% beef, the company lists their beef as "seasoned beef," making the other 12% questionable ingredients. In an effort to quell the Taco Bell media crisis, the PR team at Taco Bell has gone to the web, replying via Twitter, Facebook, and even creating a YouTube video featuring the CEO of the company.
- Wondering what that TV show is that's on right now? Now you can find out with a touch of a button. The IntoNow app, available on Apple products, "listens" to what you're watching on TV or the Internet. In just a few seconds, the app identifies if the content is airing live or if it's a rebroadcast or a syndicate. It also provides show info and access to IMDb, iTunes, and Netflix. Think Shazam for TV. Never be left out of the dark again…
- Unless you've been alone in a cave for the past week, you'll be fully aware of what has been happening in Egypt. Just as a recap, in efforts to calm down the anti-government protests, the Egyptian government has shut off access to various social media sites and to the Internet. To help Egyptians out, Google, Twitter, and SayNow have teamed up to allow people to access Twitter via voicemail. With three numbers to call, users can call in and their voicemail will post a link on their Twitter page. As of now, minimal Internet access has been granted, yet social media sites such as Facebook.com and Twitter.com are still inaccessible.
- Did you pick up (or scroll through) the new iPad publication, The Daily on Wednesday? After eagerly waiting for the online publication, Rupert Murdoch announced The Daily's release, with a bet that consumers are willing to pay for news via the Internet. Readers will pay 99 cents a week for the app that offers general news, entertainment, gossip, and sports. Will you pay for The Daily?
- It looks like consumer-generated content is gaining popularity. Coca-Cola revealed 15 finalists in its Brand App Challenge, which asked developers to create mobile apps for Coca-Cola, Coke Zero, and Diet Coke. A winner for each brand will be announced on February 14-17 in Barcelona at the GSMA Mobile World Congress and given a $10,000 prize. Though ads have been created by customers before, the idea of making apps is a new marketing concept.
- Just in time for Valentine's Day, the toy company Mattel Inc., launched a digital marketing campaign featuring the most famous couple, Barbie and Ken. Here's some back story: Back on Valentine's Day 2004, Barbie and Ken broke up and led separate (toy) lives. This Valentine's Day, Mattel hopes to help Ken win over Barbie with the help of consumer participation. On BarbieandKen.com, users can vote whether Barbie should "take Ken back" or not. A web series for the search of the "Genuine Ken" is another component in this campaign. They really do think of everything, don't they?
- Never fear, Thunder Snow 2011 survivors, according to Punxsutawney Phil, we will have our long-awaited spring soon enough. His rival, Staten Island Chuck, agrees.
With the Super Bowl coming up, our minds are whirling with ideas for social media campaigns. We leave you with Volkswagen's Super Bowl XLV ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R55e-uHQna0. Enjoy!

Give it To Me..
My NCAA Football Review..(Probably Good For You Madden Guys Too..)
Graphics: Solid, about the same as last year, with minor improvements. There was no more progressive lighting..(As in if you play a game at 4..It'll stay sunny the whole game instead of turning to night.)..Dunno if thats the same in Madden, but I can overlook it with the lighting being pretty damn good. Players on the sidelines look a little better..But still..Well..you know how they look.
Sound: Big upgrade. Stadium sounds is just kickass..And the crowd gets really hyped. Nothing to complain about here.
Gameplay: Passing the ball is VERY easy. Through my first two games, on heisman difficulty, I had 83% completion, 640 Yards, 10 TD's, and 1 INT. Drag and crossing routes are straight money 95% of the time. The O-Line just dominates, both ways. I mean..They're straight vicious coming off the ball and blowing the d-line up. Hard to get a lot of pressure with the front 4, but it makes running a lot easier. Momentum also plays a bigger role in running, and you can't just sprint into a hole once you get the handoff. The RB will take a couple seconds to rev himself up. Kickoff and Punt returns are virtually BROKEN. If you can't get it out to the 40 each time, you suck. The problem is, that the kicking team takes NO angles, they run in a straight line down the field, and you have to take control of someone and hopefully get them from behind, or it's six. Hopefully they'll fix that up for madden. Short passes are still impossible to contain. Every QB, no matter what rating, has the whole Brett Favre 100 MPH arm, and it's just impossible to knock it down. The Rocket catch is back..So if you have a guy one on one deep..Just throw it up..Because you'll out jump the DB everytime. Also, you can put a huge amount of touch on passes now. It's like a rainbow with how long it'll stay in the air. Stopping the run is much easier, which is sort of strange since it is so hard to get a pass rush. In 3 games on hesiman..I think I've allowed like 60 rushing yards total.
Overall, it's pretty damn good, but a little easy. In my first year, I've won my first 3 games 63-6, 55-6, and 63-27. But I'd reccomend it..And if Madden is something like this, it should be pretty solid too.

I played through a little of Campus Legend last night and noticed how ridiculously easy it is to throw.
The game is cool although way too much like last year's...I was dreading Madden09 would be disappointing and by the looks of this I am expecting it to pretty much be Madden08 with a new roster and a few other slight tweaks.
I'd be really pissed if I actually had paid for the game.

text: Share: Comments Print June 6, 2006 at 7:00 PM Just asking… Posted by Seattle Times staff Reporters still wondered after practice today why guard Betty Lennox only played 14 minutes in Sunday's two-point loss to San Antonio, brought in for the final 8 seconds to hit a potential game-tying shot to force overtime. She missed, but the move didn't influence the game. The Storm's once 14-point lead was already chopped to 55-53 with 5:31 remaining in the third quarter when Tanisha Wright substituted for Lennox. And Seattle led by seven with four minutes left in the game, getting outworked on offensive rebounding, which led to the loss. But Lennox signed a two-year contract worth the player max during the offseason and she's already been "benched," as reporters call it, twice this season. Donovan explained that Lennox wasn't really "benched" on Sunday, however. "You're not going to put words in my mouth," she said. "You're looking for a negative reason for why she's not playing and it's based on the needs of the team. [When we need] defense, we have T and Shaun [Gortman] out on the floor." So, Lennox isn't as good a defender as Wright and Gortman? "It's not that Betty is not doing anything, it's that we have people on the bench that are playing defense we need to have," Donovan said. Lennox, the team's third-leading scorer (10.3), did have an impressive practice in response to her game on Sunday, where she was 1 for 4 from the field. Some might think that the heavily covered Lauren Jackson or Sue Bird, who was 6 for 10 from the field for a season-high 18 points, might have better choices for the final shot. But Donovan playing chess with Lennox, Wright, and Gortman is a great strategy for the Storm. Many teams have offensive weapons that are swapped for defensive ones. Yet, usually the offensive player gets a little more court time than Lennox did. "I hope I don't sit out the whole game and then play 7.7 seconds," Lennox said. "I don't think Michael Jordan can come out and then try to score in 7.7 seconds when he's been out the whole game. But did I try to make it? Yes. I tried to warm up, tried to go hard, shoot the jumper, I even tried to bank it off the backboard because my shot hadn't been falling. But…I can't say nothing about that situation. I tried. I tried to be the hero, but obviously I wasn't. "This is Anne Donovan's team, she's the coach and when she tells me to go out and play, I play. When it's time for me to sit on the bench, I sit on the bench. I'm here to play. This is what I want to do, but I don't have any control over when I'm out on the court and all that." So, is the change in her role confusing? "In a way, but I'm here to just play when I get an opportunity," Lennox said. Comments

The curriculum vitae is the letter of presentation that we have when we want to opt for a position within an organization. It is such an important document that through it we can open or close the possibilities of a work contract.
However, although this document is extremely necessary. But what really has weight and value, is the knowledge, abilities and skills that we have and that we can place them in it. It is not creating a document adorned by qualities that we do not have. It is reflecting what we really are at a professional level.
Similarly, there are people who, when looking for a job, encounter the problem that they have not completed their studies. Maybe because they have abandoned them or because they have not finished. What doubles the possibility of being rejected.
But, the other side of the coin, are those young professionals, recent graduates, who although they have the theory of their knowledge, have not yet managed to develop the practice. Or maybe they want to focus on a particular aspect of their professional profile and they need to reinforce this knowledge.
For these graduates and non–graduates, there is the use of courses, workshops, talks, seminars and graduates, to improve their Curriculum Vitae.
What are the characteristics of Courses, Workshops, Diplomas, Conferences and Seminars, as an option to improve the curriculum vitae?
In the following table, I will give you the most outstanding characteristics of these teaching–learning resources:
Each of these teaching and learning resources will help the graduate to expand and update their knowledge in a certain area.
And for those who are still studying, it will serve them to complement their knowledge acquired to date. However, they should not necessarily be part of the profile of the graduate.
They can also complement the necessary knowledge when choosing a business position. Such as learning another language, managing technological equipment, improving writing and spelling. In addition to personal presence, learn to speak in public, such as oratory and leadership.
Final Recommendations, to improve your Curriculum Vitae
No matter what your weaknesses are, remember that the university degree gives you knowledge about a specific area of knowledge. The masters and doctorates help you to improve your academic level. But the courses, workshops, seminars, courses and conferences, update you and complement what you have already learned. Achieving with them improve your cover letter. Or what is the same, your Currículum Vítae.
I hope this article will help you when deciding to complement your studies. I remind you that we are specialists in the areas of research such as theses, dissertations, scientific articles, among others. I await your comments and if you have doubts do not hesitate to contact us. Until next time.

Hi. This could very well be the last post on this particular project. I'm going to try and see if these posts can all be transferred to a page to make it more organized. Not sure yet how to do this.
There are likely different ways to approach this challenge of writing on the prepared canvas. You'll see in the left picture above that I used CorelDraw on my computer to print ink type. I used this as a guide to hand paint the finished piece on the right. Simply flip the paper over and place it on a backlit window or light box. You'll be able to see the lines better so as to trace over them with 2B pencil ( see picture below)
By the way, the laminate fifties counter top in the pics is not real. It's a rag rolling technique I used for a fifty year wedding anniversary set/prop. I'll tell you about it sometime.
Above is a good picture of the text taped on lightly with green low tack tape ( to hold it still). On the right is a not-so-good photo of the results of tracing over the font/words. The blue arrow and lines are supposed to help you see the area where the 'print' was made. You can use a dull point pencil to trace over the words so as not to tear the paper or damage the canvas below.
If you have a better method than please share.
At this point I should tell you that some of the edges did have to be glued down i.e. to the sides of the canvas. So I used some white glue for long term strength but tacked them with a medium heat glue gun . The font used here was French 111 BT, I do believe. You'll notice a little jagged edge of paper contrasted with the lower left corner of the monitor. This was left "popped out' just for texture and effect. Happy accident.
I used a small liner brush (script liner sample) dipped in Lamp black paint. The paint was thinned with water just a teeny bit. The script will not look perfect since you hand painted it. Just take your time. If you make a mistake use some wet paper towel to quickly dab off any mistakes. Think : "Mistakes are good" and you won't make any.
Sounds like we'll need one last post for the details. We deserve a break after that anyway. Next time!! (Final part here)

What is eczema (or dermatitis)?Eczema is a skin disorder characterized by a local inflammatory response, generally associated with allergic responses. There are many forms and causes for eczema. It can range from a simple short-term local irritation to frequent and painful skin eruptions which are sometimes incapacitating. There are many different types of eczema: atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, dyshidrotic eczema (pompholyx), acute vesiculobullous hand eczema…
What are the symptoms of eczema (or dermatitis)?Eczema is characterized by more or less thick red patches on the skin, thin vesicles, scales, itching (pruritus) and dry skin. These lesions can also lead to the creation of cracks. This disease generally evolves by flare-ups, interrupted by phases of inactivity.
What treatments exist for eczema (or dermatitis)?There is no existing treatment to cure eczema, only treatments for its symptoms. These treatments can be:
- local (antiseptic, topical corticosteroids, silver nitrate, hydrating products)
- systemic (antihistamines, corticosteroids, ciclosporin and possibly antibiotics in case of secondary infections; retinoids and immunosuppressive drugs can also be prescribed for chronic hand eczema).
How to relieve eczema (or dermatitis)?The Skintifique Hydrating Gel Plus HS moisturizes and soothes atopic or eczema skin. It gives excellent results, either used on its own or together with systemic treatments. People suffering from eczema who use this product have seen a noticeable improvement of the state and comfort of their skin. These results are coherent with the scientific analyses which were lead on people having tested the Hydrating Gel Plus HS: regular measures of the hydration, follow-up of the evolution of the skin's aspect, etc. Different items explain these results can be explained by different items. First of all, the Hydrating Gel Plus HS has a high level of glycerine. Also, the innovative molecular structure of this cream allows for a lasting hydrating and soothing effect. Lastly, this product contains a limited number of ingredients, which were all selected carefully, so as to minimize the risk of unwanted reactions. The Hydrating Gel Plus HS (as well as all Skintifique products), does not contain any paraben, silicone, mineral oil, fragrance or EDTA. This gel is also free of corticosteroids and cortisone.
Recommended skin care for ECZEMA
What are the results of Skintifique products on eczema?
Below are photos of a woman suffering from eczema on both hands due to a Nickel allergy. After using the Protective Cream HPS to protect her skin against contact with Nickel, the Moisturizing Lotion HP to moisturize her skin by day, and the Hydrating Gel Plus HS to repair her skin by night, a very clear improvement can be seen.

From Huffington Post:
In Arabic pop culture, a Sultana is the object of desire in an old Egyptian folk song, "Bint el Sultan," which literally translates to "Daughter of the Sultan." It represents a familiar reference for those with a particular affinity for Arabic music. In fact, one only needs to peruse the internet to find that a spicier version of the original tune, the lyrics of which revolve around a stunningly beautiful Sultana whom the singer lusts, may be heard at Arabic dance parties, clubs and concerts.
There is, however, a lesser known historical account of the Sultana which has been frequently dismissed or in the alternative, overlooked. Nevertheless, she remains an inextricable part of Islamic history.
She is the female Muslim ruler.
And, her story exemplifies the flexible environment Islam has traditionally provided for women to flourish not only spiritually, but even, politically.

"They (the patients) set the age target they want to reach. As oncologists, we try to help them (achieve) the best quality of life possible."
ROJ agrees but with the following additional comments, opinions and recommendations on general guidelines on setting the age target:
1) For Filipinos living in the Philippines, initially set 70 as the target as this is the round-off average of the lifespan in the Philippines as of 2014;
2) If you reach 70 or about to reach 70 or is beyond 70, then set another realistic age target based on your current health conditions (particularly, risk for death if you have a disease) and your aspirations (must be spelled out with time frame or deadline) [As a general guide, use an increment of 5 years.];
3) If you have a seeming incurable disease or condition or one with unpredictable course at whatever age, set a realistic age target based on expected lifespan of Filipinos patients with such a disease or condition (can use external data if Philippine data are not available) and factor in your aspirations (must be spelled out with time frame or deadline and congruent with the expected lifespan);
4) Do not use as primary basis the longest age that your parents or grandparents have reached in the initial setting of lifespan target. However, you can use it as a secondary basis, meaning you can factor in the lifespan track record of your parents and grandparents after you have reached 70.

Donald Trump thinks of himself as a master political strategist, the consummate dealmaker, the toughest guy on the block.
Of course, he is none of that.
He is the president of the United States, who also keeps changing strategies, his mind, his goals. He confuses me to no end.
Now he says he wants Congress to withhold plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act until after the 2020 presidential election. This comes after he declared — with the most conviction he could muster — that he wanted it done now. He didn't have a replacement plan, but he damn sure did promise that the Republican Party would become the "party of health care." Yep. That's what he said.
How will that occur? That's a mystery. To Trump. To congressional Republicans. To the White House staff. To the Department of Health and Human Services.
The strategy du jour is to wait until after the election next year. Trump says the GOP will retake the House of Representatives, strengthen its control of the Senate and, let's not forget, re-elect him as POTUS.
There you have it. Trump predicts that the GOP will regain total control of two of three co-equal government branches.
But wait! They had that control before. They couldn't repeal the ACA, let alone come up with a suitable replacement. Why do you suppose that happened?
I think it's because the ACA has become more popular with Americans, the folks who are the actual "bosses." It ain't Congress and it certainly isn't the White House.
Donald Trump doesn't know what he's doing.

Beginning in the Spring of 1994 he expects to spend fhll-time participating in the design, development and fabrication of this calorimeter. The task ahead will require a serious engineering study with major prototyping and testing. Further, a major effort is needed for simulation studies that would establish the detectability of the direct gammas and the associated jets within the plethora of tracks generated in the high luminosity environment anticipated for RHIc.

"I don't have expectations. Expectations in your life just lead to giant disappointments."-Michael Landon
I've been set up with a whole string of disappointments recently. From thinking that my friends truly care to people backing out on me to people thinking i don't care , then those who bitch behind my back, thinking I'd never know. The most hurting one, is people ignoring my existence, whether I'm there to help…. to them just focusing on the ones they consider the love of their life.
Maybe I should stop caring. Maybe I shouldn't set expectations. Maybe I should just give up and just depend on myself, instead of others for happiness.
Right now, only god knows, there are 2 people in this life that are worth living for.
"Reality is the name we give to our disappointments."

Social network payments hit $3T in China
By admin In Uncategorized On June 6, 2017
A new UN study reveals that Alipay and WeChat Pay enabled $2.9 trillion in Chinese digital payments in 2016, representing a twentyfold increase in the past four years.
The data shows that digital payments, using existing platforms and networks, provide access to a wider range of digital financial services, expanding financial inclusion and economic opportunity throughout China and neighboring countries, according to a press release about the report.
"Social networks and e-commerce platforms are growing in every economy, whether large or small," Ruth Goodwin-Groen, managing director of the U.N. Better Than Cash Alliance, said in a statement. "In China, digital payments are thriving from these channels, bringing millions of people into the economy. This matters because we know that when people — especially women — gain access to financial services, they are able to save, build assets, weather financial shocks and have a better chance to improve their lives."
Key findings from the report include:
- More people have opportunities to save and invest. Platforms such as Alibaba's Yu'e bao make investing money into diverse sets of financial products more accessible for low-income populations. These products allows them to invest the money left on digital accounts, leading incrementally to long-term savings. From 2013 to 2016, Yu'e bao has grown to manage US$117 billion and is now serving over 152 million customers.
- Digital finance helps dramatically increase access to capital for small merchants. As of September 2016, a total of 740 billion yuan ($107.3 billion) had been lent on the Alipay platform to more than 4.11 million small and micro enterprises and entrepreneurs.
- Big data generated through these platforms helps to build credit-scoring history and boosts access to credit, particularly for low-income financially excluded populations. For example, Sesame Credit offers an alternative creditworthiness assessment by examining the credit history, financial behavior, contractual capacity, identity and social networks of users.

A presentation on civilian to military to civilian transition by Dr John Whelan (Canadian veteran and author)
While obviously recorded a mobile phone, this presentation is worth a watch if you are at all keen on exploring issues around the intense nature of military 'indoctrination', and the no less difficult (yet much less considered) potential culture shock of returning to civilian life.
I recommend the first 15 minutes. The last half is more difficult due to the recording issue.
It reflects and expands on many of the points referred to in my first two posts here and here. I am in the process of updating these in light of further research, and will also add more soon.
Also about to read John's book:

Get your concentration caps on peeps, Little Things Forever is a delightful puzzler that challenges you to find a random list of items in amongst a bunch of other items. Kind of like rummaging around in my handbag trying to find my keys, but possibly easier. Collect puzzle pieces by finding the items and solve the puzzles. The artwork and soundtrack are pleasing. Perhaps a paid option (on Android) to remove the ads would be a nice addition. 8/10

There has been a lot of mixed reviews on Dawn of Justice. Some would love it, some hate it. And I don't blame them because movies directed by Zack Snyder have always been like that. He is very inconsistent with his movies. 300 was his best, that is without a doubt. His version of Dawn of the dead was fun (freaked me out when the zombies started running). I enjoyed Watchmen as well and in my opinion, he did a fantastic job on that. And then there was sucker punch which was absolute shit. Quite a number of people disliked Man of Steel, but I found it watchable. I'm not a fan of Superman but MOS was definitely better than Superman returns(Bryan Singer).
Dawn of Justice has to be Snyder's biggest project and he may or may not have fucked this up or he might just be M. Night Shymalan in disguise... It all depends on you.
First of all, I felt the movie was way too long. 2.5 hours is a tad too long for a superhero movie. And the movie doesn't seem to have a proper ending, it just went on and on.
Horrible editing. It was as though the editors watched a Michael Bay movies marathon before editing. Very abrupt cuts. There are some scenes you have no idea what the fuck is going on, it was so all of a sudden. It doesn't even give you a clue what that scene was about. Was it a flashback or a dream sequence(Superflies? really?) or what?
Script was downright awful. here's an example. Louis Lane says " I'm not a lady. I'm a journalist." Knn... then what the fuck are you?
I wanted to slap her for that.
Casting was annoying. Jeremy Irons as Alfred seemed bored or probably high in all of his scenes. Louis Lane was irritating. She had really annoying lines and does some really stupid shit. Lawrence Fishburne thought he was still in that Predators movie cause half the fuck time he is shouting and whispering like a lunatic. The only time Fishburne was fantastic was when he was Ike Turner. That's it. I've never liked Jesse Eisenberg's acting. Period. Almost all of his movies, he has that really annoying stuttering and mumbling way of saying his lines that bugsthe hell out of me. But I will give credit to him for that last scene though. That was some really maniacal acting there. Good stuff. When they announced that Ben Affleck is the next Batman, I'm pretty sure he wasn't liked that much. But I thought he was fantastic as Batman/Bruce Wayne. His batman voice was way much better than Christian Bale's. A much lesser more audible death metal growl. Affleck's Batman doesn't seem to mind killing and is more brutal. Of course comics Batman doesn't kill but I really like this new brutal doesn't give a shit Batman. He has some very good fight scenes and one of them has the similarities of the Batman video game, Arkham Asylum. I do want to see more of Ben Affleck as Batman cause I'm curious to see how he is going to carry the role further. Superman(Henry Cavhill) on the other hand is a cheebye. Fella nicely has been killing people and then when asked, he gives a "no lah where got" reply. Hahahahahaha.
Gal Gadot's entrance as Wonder woman was pretty cool and I'm pretty sure she can handle it on her own. I was pleasantly surprised by Wonder woman especially during the climatic battle. Boy, is she strong....
There are a lot of problems with Dawn of Justice. The inconsistencies are very obvious and laughable at times. The good thing is the tone of the movie is dark unlike Avengers where everyone is joking with each other. Snyder might have copied some of the scenes from various movies and like I mentioned before, he is inconsistent but it is watchable...barely just barely. It has its awesome moments and tonnes of nonsensical "wtf"shit moments. Just watch it with low expectations.

Thanks for Giving
Very few times during the year can a family be brought together and enjoy a meal with one another. Rarer still is such an occasion that occurs within the bosom of friendliness and fraternity. Thanksgiving is that time of the year. Although it is an extremely important factor, the food is not the most important part of the holiday. It doesn't matter if you're somewhat estranged from your loved ones or have built a state of loathing upon every time they enter through the door. They are still you're flesh and blood and they (like most good holidays) are what Thanksgiving is truly about.
There is something mystic about the fourth Thursday of the year. Maybe it's the autumn air or the spirit of dead turkeys everywhere that changes the atmosphere. Young ones aren't as annoying, the leaves look inspiring and football is just so much more exciting. A familiar face makes the best company and Thanksgiving does this better than any other holiday. I'm not even mentioning the unsung benefits like a week of beloved leftovers or gut-busting memories of relatives that self-indulged just a little too much. Also to consider is that Thanksgiving inspired one of the greatest holiday horror films of all time: Thankskilling. Yes someone did make a movie about a homicidal turkey who hacks off gullible twenty somethings one by one. Thankfully (no pun intended) the film is on Netflix and it is a great comedic treat for anybody interested in killer turkeys.
What better way to wrap this post up than to wish all my readers a very happy Thanksgiving. Just make sure to leave room for stuffing.

Welcome to UUCA! For any questions you have about membership, feel free to ask anyone at the Welcome Desk on Sunday mornings or ask Venny Zachritz, our Connections Coordinator.
Our members come to us seeking experiences and relationships that will be spiritually, intellectually, and emotionally rewarding. We have found that in community we have the power and the strength to create positive change in the world. Here at UUCA there are opportunities for:
1) worshiping with others—of all ages,
2) joining small groups to learn more about this religion, explore life issues, and deepen our spiritual selves,
3) experiencing community through social and educational events and service opportunities,
4) taking our faith and values out to the world to seek justice in this unjust world.
At UUCA we know that a newcomer who is interested in becoming a member will thrive if they manage to make personal connections with other members. So our path to membership provides various ways to make connections BEFORE becoming a member.
Path to Membership
The path to membership begins by attending an "Introduction to UUCA for Newcomers" session. Those who attend will be given basic information about UUCA, receive the Path to Membership Guide, have an opportunity to sign up for a Connector, and meet a few other newcomers. These sessions are held the 3rd Sunday of every month after each service.
Once you have completed the steps in your Path to Membership Guide you can sign up for a Membership Class. This one-session, 4 1/2 hour class includes lunch and provides more in-depth information about our programs, governance, and stewardship. The Membership Class is also appropriate for those who come from another UU congregation. These classes are held three times a year, in December, March, and May and are led by our Lead Minister, Rev. Mark Ward, and our Connections Coordinator, Venny Zachritz, with assistance from volunteers.
Dates and additional information about upcoming classes are posted on the calendar and in the monthly newsletter or contact Venny Zachritz.

Chelsea & Wyatt's vision for their wintery New Years Eve wedding was to ensure it truly reflected the two of them as well as their relationship as much as possible. With this in mind they chose to create much of the decorative elements themselves – and boy did they do a fantastic job!
In making the decor themselves, it proved to be the perfect opportunity for them to spend quality time not only together but with their families. Wyatt's family, in particular his mother, helped to work on almost all of the DIY projects which ended up strengthening Chelsea's relationship with his family all the more in the process.
Among the spectacular DIY pieces they created were the showstopping barn doors, the perfectly rustic cake and dessert stands which featured an array of delicious sweet treats and all of the super cute signage throughout the venue. One of the absolute cutest touches was the rustic ice baths featuring personalised beer labels on all of the bottles and the mason jar glasses with labels ready for guests to add their own name – no confusion over whose glass it is!
To add to the wonderfully warm feeling of family, the couple were fortunate enough to be married by Chelsea's brother which was a wonderful memory for the couple to share together.

jpatcourtney needed a new product packaging design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 135 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
Simple + Pure
Simple + Pure is bringing the idea of whole foods, simple ingredient lists, and transparency to the world of dietary supplements.
Today's consumers want to be educated on what they are putting in their bodies, and this requires that they 1) trust their brands and 2) know the story behind the products. We believe the dietary supplement industry is failing consumers in this regard and that is why we started Simple + Pure.
We have created a dietary supplement brand for the 30-50 year old mostly female Whole Foods shopper. The consumer who loves knowing that their coffee is single origin and that their popcorn is GMO free. The consumer who cares not only that her food is grown sustainably/raised ethically, but that the people involved in the food's journey were treated fairly.
Our brand draws inspiration more from the natural foods space and transparent brands like Warby Parker, Harry's and Everlane then our competition in the supplement market.
Our marketing (including this label and box) is about focusing on doing the simple very well and transparently telling the story of our products. For example for our Krill oil we tell the story of where the krill is harvested, what the boats look like, what a deckhands life is like, how the krill gets to our facilities, what does it take to turn it into a softgel, and along the way all the passion and pursuit of excellence that goes into creating a simple and pure 1 ingredient product.
We are looking for a bottle label and box design that can be used for all of our different supplements and that will serve as the core of the visual identity for the brand. Please start with a design for just the krill oil bottle label to save time, and once we're on the right track we can adapt the design for the box and apply it to the spirulina.
We'll work with the winning designer to apply the design to additional supplements.
We are also open to working with two designers if one creates a drawing style we love and another wins for their overall design.
The bottles are amber glass packers with black caps (image attached).
There are three panels on the bottle labels and four panels on the box.
This contest is focused on the front panel which should be the same or almost the same on the bottle and the box. For the other panels we just need a font and bullet style (the copy for all panels is included in attachments).
Label dimensions - 2.25 x 6.5 inches
Box dimensions - 2.5 x 2.5 x 4.5 inches
We are looking for a clean, bold, and beautiful design that communicates the high quality, naturalness, cleaness, and purity of our ingredients. Our logo is currently just a sanserif font with the word "Simple" a white plus sign in a green circle and the word "Pure" we'd like to keep the company logo simple and text based, and we're open to whatever font or design fits best with the rest of the packaging.
Very important thing is that when a 1.5 inch picture of the bottle is viewed from 1.5 feet away all the main elements of the front panel are readable, and that when a 1.5 inch picture of the bottle is scrolling across a screen the Supplement Name/Ingredient is still readable.
Elements we'd love to see
+Light background and dark lettering
+Natural Color palette
+Accent color as a way to differentiate skus (inspired by ingredient)
+A colored drawing representing the main ingredient reminiscent of naturalist drawings or illustrations in old books. Open to ideas beyond an actual krill or spirulina if those can't be made to look good :).
+A drawing in the background that tells the story of the ingredient that is subtle and gives the background texture. For example a krill boat and snowy peaks above a bay for krill or a tropical setting and lake for spirulina.
Inspirations - This file has examples of other packaging with callout to the parts we love.
Package Copy - The text we need to see on each panel
Here are some initial thoughts after seeing initial designs:
1) This is a premium natural brand and our ingredients are much more expensive because they are organic or ethically harvested or only the top tier quality or all of the above. It is important that the label have the feel of a premium food brand. It is very important that the label does not look like a cheap store brand. The natural supplements brand NatureWise is currently doing this better than anyone you can see their packaging here - https://www.naturewise.com/collecti…upplements - but I think we can still do it better!
2) We want to use the winning packaging design as the core of our visual identity for the brand as a whole. It is therefore important that there are elements that we can build our brand off of in the design.
3) This third point is sort of a combination of the above two. It is important for us that a bottle of our supplements would look at home in someone's Instagram photo of them doing Yoga, or eating a healthy lunch. Here are a few links to the types of photos I'm talking about, imagine your bottle design in these images and ask yourself would it look out of place -
4) The "ingredient image" needs to provoke health, clean body, purity, freshness etc. I would love it if we could make a krill look like that, but I'm thinking that maybe it will always look like a cockroach of the sea. Anyways cockroaches are def the opposite of healthy, clean, pure, fresh. So if we need to go with other symbolism that's fine. NatureWise is using a clean glacier.
5) If it helps the design I'm happy to include additional text or badges on the front panel. You'll know better than I would if these elements will help us achieve the look we're going for.
I want you to ask me anything. Don't worry about asking me too many questions. Let's talk, I will be doing my absolute best to get back to you immediately between the hours of 8am and 10pm US eastern time. Thanks!
More info on Spirulina
Spirulina has been consumed by many people for a very long time in many countries. It grew in many lakes, seas, and oceans all around the world. Spirulina was found growing in Lake Chad and Mexico's Lake Texcoco, and people of these regions have been drying and eating spirulina since ancient times.
Spirulina was first discovered by Hernando Cortez and his Spanish Conquistadors in 1519. Cortez observed that Spirulina was served and eaten at the tables of the Aztecs during his visit in Lake Texcoco. The health benefits of spirulina were first discovered by explorer Pierre Dangeard who observed that flamingos were able to survive by consuming these blue-green algae. Botanist Jean Leonard supported the findings of Dangeard and people soon started to commercialize spirulina to reap its benefits. The first spirulina processing plant, Sosa Texcoco, was set up in 1969 by the French.

James McVey Almost Left The Vamps While Touring in America
Our hearts stopped as soon as we read this — that James McVey almost left The Vamps!
It happened while they were touring in America a few years ago.
"I had a really difficult time last year where we were on tour in America and things were just building and building for me," James shared. "I was getting terrified of being late for a hotel lobby call. I wouldn't be sleeping because of it."
He adds, "I'd be on stage and I'd be like I hate this, because I don't understand how I was feeling or why. I was on the verge of saying 'I'm leaving the band'."
Thankfully, he didn't.
James confided in his band mates — Connor Ball, Brad Simpson and Tristan Evans about everything.
"It took me a lot to speak to Brad. I said to him, 'I'm really struggling, man. I don't know if I can do this'. Just opening up to someone about my emotions was so refreshing for me as a person. It really pulled me from that edge."
James added, "If I hadn't opened up about that, I probably would have left. In hindsight that would have been a ridiculous mistake."
