photo cred | Associated Press
I recently read this article that struck a chord with me and made me want to share a similar story with all of you. The article is about how a video went viral of a homeless man shaving on the train. You can imagine that it was probably some millennial that filmed it. This person not only did it so that others could join in on ridiculing a stranger, but they also tried to sell it to other media outlets. The story was frustrating to say the least.
It's more than just poor taste. It's dehumanizing. There is so much to love about social media. I enjoy it because of the communities that it can form and the positivity that can be spread. At the same time, being in this space, I know that the internet can be a dark place. This is one of those moments and it's heartbreaking to hear that someone used this video to try and gain viral status.
In San Francisco, I meet different kinds of people regularly. It's through work, through my candidates, friends of friends, etc. I recently met someone who was trying to explain to me that the neighborhood we were in, though somewhat more gentrified now, is still as bad as it was years ago. He further explained to me that "just the other day, he was walking down the street and saw a homeless man digging out of the trash with his pants down at his ankles." He took a photo of that moment and offered to show me. I could've died. The conversation and that evening needed to end right then and there.
In this day and age, I get it. The lines are blurry. Things on the internet are funny, but not at the expense of others. I'm not saying I have always gotten this right. I learned tough lessons about this in the internet age a long time ago and even before the internet was more of a thing. This is a friendly reminder to all of you to think before you post and to not film or take photos unless you've asked for permission. If you don't feel comfortable asking permission, then you probably shouldn't be doing what you are doing.

His life as your life
24/04/19 17:31
There are levels of communion between people and different kinds of deep level communion with different personalities. Different people awaken different parts of the self that have been lying in wait, listening for an opportunity to spring to life when touched by the glory of some other person who is speaking from their real self. Speaking of this authentic self, Paul writes,
'But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out his special favour on me—and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by his grace' 1 Cor 15.10 NLT. Here Paul is talking about Christ His life.
Sensitivity to depths of life comes easily to us when we are who we actually are and not some construct of the self-made man. Such people of the latter kind can be dormant or boorish. The merely dormant are better placed to be reborn
as who they are,
than the boorish who are for the present season contained in the bubble of their self-importance, which ironically arises from the fact that they really do not feel that they are important enough. Some of these will seek an identity in their own accomplishments and others will seek an identity in a religious community, a sect or a cult.
We grow progressively into our real selves when Christ alone is our life.
It's a palatable truth that we can find a deep communion with many people who are different to ourselves and others who are walking in the same part of the journey if we are living in God and not in the law. The law constructs layers around the real self. Christ in us undoes them revealing God to us and us to ourselves.
Jesus said, 'All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him' Matt 11.27 NIV.
We become privy to this
when Christ and not the law or religion is our life. Such knowing is both intimacy with God and union with God and ourselves. This is of course the source of genuine community. Just as there is a real self, so there is a real community of the saints that is not contrived. Its binding is not common beliefs but a genuine union with God.
The law is a relic of the alienated Adam who has been put to death in Christ so that we are made one with God in Christ, the result being that the Christ who was always one with God is one with us. Jesus is living this life in us as our life so that we are one with God.
The effect of this is that we are one with ourselves and one with all who are discovering their real self and living freely in the adventure of the exploration of their real identity. These are quite different to those who live in a constant repetition of themselves.
The effect of law based religion is that we will never have deep communion with ourselves or with friends who are still enclosed in law's layers of religion. Cynthia Bourgeault touches on this as she writes,
Of the torrents of words and feeling that passed between us, I can remember only one sentence—when he suddenly took both my hands in his and said, "It's all so simple, so very simple…" But what remains with me vividly to this day is my recollection of a circle of light that shone out from Rafe and enfolded us both, and the deep sense of comfort and familiarity between us, as if we had somehow always known each other and were merely resuming a conversation that had gone on from eternity
." (1) This is not the province of saintliness. This is the inheritance of all who will take the risk of abandoning religion to live in God alone.
Simple it is, but as profound as
Christ as you
and as us, so that we enjoy together the kind of companionship and amity that is the fellowship of the trinity. We are one with them and they with us. The mystery of this life in God, which is not at all a life in religion, is that we are one with God, yet growing into the fullness and glory of ourselves which is so different to the repetitious reinvention and contraction of the self that occurs when the law has any effect on our life.
It is this community of real selves that are the sons and daughters of God in spirit and in truth: The church that Jesus builds without human hands.

Happy Wednesday to all of our travel friends, both near and far! Here are some articles we've read from other bloggers (and other sources) that we think you may like, as well, so we're passing them along.

Ofcom has announced that 0500 numbers, which started life way back in 1982, are being stopped as of June 3rd. This is not new news, they have been phasing them out since 2014, so this shouldn't affect too many businesses.
But if you are a business that still has an 0500 number, then there are 3 simple options, which we can talk you through and assist with keeping your phones happily ringing.
Just call us on 03456 200200 and we can advise on the best action for all your communication needs.
Back in 2014, Ofcom announced their decision to withdraw the 0500 Freephone number range from use, and the day of their demise is now nearly upon us. 0500 was one of the traditional two Freephone prefixes alongside 0800, and was created in 1982. But new 0500 numbers stopped being allocated twenty years ago in favour of a gradual focus on its better known 0800 counterpart. Ofcom has now taken the decision to withdraw all remaining 0500 numbers given the low consumer awareness and the long-term decline of its use by service providers. 0500 numbers will stop working on June 3rd, customers currently using the 0500 prefix have three options: 1. Switch to 08085: Ofcom has issued the Freephone number "08085" as a replacement for 0500 numbers, and is followed by the last 6 digits of the existing 0500 number. There would be no changes to the current call charge rates. 2. Choose an alternative: we provide both 0800 Freephone and 03 prefixes which are amongst the most popular customer contact numbers in the UK and are widely recognised. 3. Let it be retired: Organisations that have 0500 numbers but no longer use them can choose to do nothing and the number will be automatically be retired with the Ofcom withdrawal on the 3rd June.

Day Of The Dead Red Tote Bag (Recycled)
What would happen if we were to celebrate the passing of life rather than mourning the loss of someone? Our guitarist restates that you are never forgotten by those who truly cared. This Mexican festival, also known as the "Day of the Dead" or "El Día de Los Muertos" can teach us something about ourselves and why we should try and live each day as if it could immortalise us in the eyes of those who love and admire us.
Original illustration for Conquer Gear ® by Tomoya Hiramatsu
Literally, 100% recycled from old trash,
60% Recycled pre-consumer cotton organically grown
40% Recycled post-consumer waste polyester Jersey
Woven Twill: 6.34 oz / 215 g
Have you ever considered the impact of a few plastic bags a week, multiplied by a lifetime and then taken everyone else into account who does the same? It adds up to a huge impact, not only on plastic waste, but in manufacturing, energy, and resources.
What a difference a long lasting bag can make. Are you way more likely to use it if it's got a funky graphic illustration print? Make shopping more fun, and less of an advertisement for whichever shop you're using!
Salvaged from waste cuttings of organic cotton garment production, this waste cotton is re-blended with post-consumer plastic bottles to create a hard wearing and 100% recycled product.
Much of the pollution that would have been created from growing, milling, transporting and processing new cotton is eliminated when recycling.
Also, the use of post-consumer polyester waste avoids any other material being created from yet more raw materials. It's a win-win situation made out of our wastefulness!
Fair Wear Foundation made for peace of mind in manufacturing. Made with ethical trade and justice for workers. We don't want to make a garment covered in tears, no matter how rebellious our images are!

As it is April 1st today, the Internet space is going crazy with all sorts of jokes and pranks around. Logically, the Lawnchair Launcher team has also hidden something inside the most recent 1056 alpha build of the app, which by the way, you can grab from their Lawnchair - Releases channel on Telegram. Back on topic, on this date, the app has been set to switch its typeface to the old-school Comic Sans, which has initially been intended to be used for writing children's books, so you get it, right?
Earlier, last week to be precise, @wongmjane has discovered the inclusion of Comic Sans inside Lawnchair, though, the purpose for that is different than what she has thought that it would be, thus not for accessibility reasons. You can check out her tweet for reference.
If you like the looks of Lawnchair in conjunction with Comic Sans, you should totally post your home screen setups on Twitter and tag @lawnchairapp. On the contrary, if you hate Comic Sans, you can easily disable it without having to wait until the day after April 1st. To do so, just enter Lawnchair's settings, hit the three-dot menu up top and select 'AFD / ON'. That's it!
It is always good to see jokes being made from time to time to reminds us that, at the end of the day, behind all those screens we are all human beings, not robots, per se. If you liked Lawnchair's prank, give them some love by sharing your homescreen setup and watch out for other jokes on the web, because there are and will be so many.

Prior to singing the Office of Compline last Sunday, the Compline Choir placed 28 votive candles on the steps in front of the altar in memory of the dead in the Newtown tragedy. Our director, Jason Anderson, had created a short prayer service which we sang from the McCaw Chapel (behind the altar area). We then processed from the chapel to the back corner of the cathedral, singing the Advent hymn "Creator of the Stars of Night". Here is that excerpt:
Come and save us, O Lord God of hosts. (repeated by the choir)
Show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved:
O Lord God of hosts.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
Come and save us, O Lord God of hosts.
(Prayer for the Children Slaughtered)
Loving God, whose beloved Son did take little children into his arms and bless them: Give us grace, we beseech thee, to entrust thy children Charlotte, Daniel, Olivia, Josephine, Ana, Dylan, Madeleine, Catherine, Chase, Jesse, James, Grace, Emilie, Jack, Noah, Caroline, Jessica, Avielle, Benjamin, and Allison into thy never-failing care and love, and bring us all to thy heavenly kingtdom; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
(Prayer for the Adults Slaughtered)
O God, whose mercies cannot be numbered: Accept our prayers on behalf of thy servants Nancy, Rachel, Dawn, Anne, Lauren, Mary, and Victoria and grant them an entrance into the land of light and joy, in the fellowship of thy saints; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
(Prayer for the One Who Has Slaughtered)
Almighty and everlasting God, we lift up into the light of thy justice Adam the one whom hast taken the lives of our women and children. Where our hearts are stone return to us hearts of flesh; that grief may not swallow us up, but new life find us through Jeaus Christ the crucified, with whom we are raised by thy power; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Creator of the stars of night, your people's everlasting light,
O Christ, Redeemer of us all, we pray you hear us when we call.
In sorrow that the ancient curse should doom to death a universe,
you came, O Saviour, to set free your own in glorious liberty.
When this old world drew on toward night, you came; but not in splendor bright,
not as a monarch, but the child of Mary, blameless mother mild.
At your great Name, O Jesus, now all knees must bend, all hearts must bow:
all things on earth with one accord, like those in heaven, shall call you Lord.
Come in your holy might, we pray, redeem us for eternal day;
defend us while we dwell below from all assaults of our dread foe.
To God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit, Three in One,
praise, honor, might, and glory be from age to age eternally.

The Age of Magic by Ben Okri (2014)
"When his hand brushed her nipple it tripped a switch and she came alight. He touched her belly and his hand seemed to burn through her. He lavished on her body indirect touches and bitter-sweet sensations flooded her brain.
"She became aware of places in her that could only have been concealed there by a god with a sense of humour. Adrift on warm currents, no longer of this world, she became aware of him gliding into her. He loved her with gentleness and strength, stroking her neck, praising her face with his hands, till she was broken up and began a low rhythmic wail. She was a little overwhelmed with being the adored focus of such power, as he rose and fell. She felt certain now that there was a heaven and that it was here, in her body. The universe was in her and with each movement it unfolded to her."

There are those rare people who don't pay attention to trends and simply like whatever they like. When it comes to fashion, beauty, and pop culture, they go with what their heart is telling them. And then there are people who enjoy listening to mainstream trends and finding out what's popular.
There is nothing wrong with either one, of course. It just depends on our personalities and who we are. But when it comes to dating trends, we probably wish that we couldn't pay attention to them because most of the time, dating trends point to bad behavior and other negative parts about dating.
We wish that dating trends told us that in the quest to find love, we were being nice to each other, going on dinner dates, finding the right person, and getting married.
Instead, when people write about dating trends, they're saying that people dating today aren't being that nice to one another. They're forgetting about manners and simply doing whatever they want. Anyone who has been dating in the past few years has definitely seen these trends in reality, and it's never fun.
Read on to find out more about curving and 19 other dating trends that we wish weren't a thing.
20 Curving: We Wish Someone Would Tell Us They Don't Want To Talk To Us
Have you heard of curving? According to The Huffington Post, "To curve someone is to respond to texts, but in a way that suggests you'd really rather end the conversation." The example given is a text that says something like, "Sorry, just been so busy lately."
Curving is definitely one dating trend that we wish wasn't a thing. Instead of getting these texts, we would rather a guy tell us that he doesn't want to talk to us or date us anymore. He should be open about his feelings (or lack thereof) instead of sending us these confusing text messages.
19 Ghosting: We Should Be Polite To Each Other
Ghosting is another dating trend that's unfortunate, and it's probably the one that we all know about. When someone ghosts us, they stop texting us or contacting us in any other way. They don't say that they don't want to date us. They basically disappear... just like a ghost. And like a ghost, they stick around in our minds, making us wonder why this happened or if we did something wrong.
Ghosting has become the way that we treat each other when we're not sure what to say or when we're concerned that saying we can't go on another date with someone will hurt their feelings. But we can always be polite, right?
18 Orbiting: Stop Liking Our Selfies On Social Media
Independent.co.uk explains the dating trend orbiting: "It's when someone ghosts you but still engages with you on social media."
If you've ever had this experience before, then that means that every time you posted a selfie on social media, the guy that you had been dating would like it or comment on it. Even though he wouldn't text us back or get in touch again, he was still looking at our social media profiles. This is especially tough to deal with since we're on our social media accounts all of the time. Blocking someone seems pretty drastic, but if that's what we feel we should do in order to move on, we should definitely do that.
17 Scrooging: Please, Don't Dump Your Partner At Christmas Time
We often hear about high school sweethearts going to college and then breaking up at Christmas break or the following summer. It seems super awkward to go through a split during the holidays when everyone is so festive and happy.
According to This Is Insider, there is actually a dating trend called Scrooging. As the publication explains, "Scrooging is where you break up with someone before Christmas so you don't have to buy them a gift. According to Plenty of Fish, a quarter of people might have been Scrooged in the past, and three quarters of people don't think there's a problem with breaking up with someone at Christmas."
This sounds like the worst time of year to go through a breakup, doesn't it?!
16 Vulturing: We Probably Know Someone Like This
This Is Insider also mentions Vulturing: "when someone hangs around a dying relationship, patiently awaiting the scraps. Essentially, they become a lot more interested in romance when they see someone who is soon to be single. According to Plenty of Fish, about 16% of people admit to doing this."
We probably know someone like this, and we probably wonder why they're always crushing on someone who's already in a relationship. When the object of their affection is complaining about their partner or going through a rough patch, they're always there to listen. And they low-key hope that they can date them once the break up happens.
15 Bird Boxing: We Need To Know Our Worth And Date Good People
You might not have heard of Bird Boxing yet since it's a fairly recent dating trend. Independent.co.uk says that it's inspired by the Netflix movie that was so popular just a few months ago.
The publication says, "Much like the film, which sees Sandra Bullock struggle to survive wearing a blindfold at all times, the concept of bird boxing refers to when someone is blind to how rubbish the person they're dating is."
We wish that bird boxing wasn't a dating trend, either. Instead, we would say that we should know our worth and date good people. That's what we deserve.
14 Pocketing: Why Can't We Meet Your Mom?
Pocketing is another dating trend that honestly sounds bad enough, just from the name alone. Even if we haven't heard about this before and we don't know what it means, we can guess that it's not something that we want to experience.
According to the NY Post, pocketing is when guys know that the relationship won't last or work out, so they don't have us meet their mom.
If we've ever dated a guy for a few months and he always had reasons why we couldn't meet his mom or the rest of his family, then we've been pocketed. And it definitely wasn't a fun experience. Why do people do this? Why not just tell us that it won't work out?
13 Kittenfishing: Pretending We're Someone That We're Not
Swoon.theodysseyonline.com mentions a dating trend called Kittenfishing. It means that we pretend to be someone that we're not when we're dating someone.
We've probably done this before, at least when we were younger. We really wanted someone to like us so we said that we liked everything that they liked and we hoped that they wouldn't find out that we really didn't.
Of course, we should never do this. If we want to find a partner who likes us for who we really are, then we have to be open about who we are and figure that if they don't like it, they're not the right one for us.
12 Cookie Jarring: Stop Stringing Other Girls Along
According to The NY Post, there's a dating trend called Cookie Jarring: "The term refers to treating someone as a back-up option while you're dating other people."
Have you dated a guy who did this? If you have, then we can agree that we wish that guys didn't do this. Guys definitely need to stop stringing girls along. It's just not fair and it's a messy situation for everyone involved. If a guy likes us, he should stop talking to other girls and commit to us. Cookie Jarring is definitely a dating trend that we wish didn't exist, and we honestly can't even believe that it does.
11 Breadcrumbing: If You Like Us, Just Tell Us
When we hear about the dating trend called breadcrumbing, we honestly can't believe that this is a thing that happens. Independent.co.uk defines this dating trend as someone texting a message like "how's it going?" without asking the other person out.
If a guy likes us, we want him to just tell us. We don't want him to text us every now and again and make us wonder how he feels about us and if he wants to go on a date. If we've found ourselves in a breadcrumbing situation, we might have asked the guy if he wanted to go out, and he was probably super vague about it.
10 Outsourcing: Asking Our BFFs To Use Dating Apps For Us
In an article about the dating trends for 2019, Women's Health talks about outsourcing. As the publication says, "There are now full-scale businesses launching around the concept of people taking over your swipe apps and organising your love life for you."
We honestly wish that this wasn't a dating trend because online dating (and dating in general) should be more fun than it actually is. While we might want our BFFs to use dating apps for us because we don't enjoy the experience, it's actually not the best idea. How would we feel if we thought that we were talking to someone on an app and it was actually their best pal?
9 Gatsbying: We Should Never Try To Get Someone To Like Us Through Our Social Media Posts
The NY Post talks about Gatsbying, and it's definitely a strange dating trend. What is this dating trend about? It means that people are trying to get others to like them through their social media posts.
Although this is a new dating trend, trying to be someone that we're not is a story as old as time. People have been doing this since forever... but, of course, that doesn't mean that it's a good idea. All we have to do is think about makeover movies like She's All That and we know that we need to stay true to who we really are if we want to find love.
8 Stashing: We Need A Boyfriend Who Wants Us To Get To Know His Friends
Although these 20 dating trends are all really bad, stashing might be one of the worst.
As Maxim says, "Have you ever dated someone where you saw them regularly, texted all the time, and had a great time together, but never met their friends or were otherwise never a visible part of their life?"
If you can answer yes to this question, then someone was stashing you. This is hurtful because it makes us feel insecure and like this person doesn't think that we're good enough to show off to their friends and family. We should never have to go through that.
7 Cushioning: A Friendly Breakup Actually Makes Sense
Elite Daily mentions cushioning on a list of dating trends, and it basically means that a breakup is friendly. It's "cushioning" the fact that we're dumping someone with kind words and making it a bit easier to deal with.
A friendly breakup actually makes sense, right? Even if a relationship ends for a tough reason, we did love this person at one point, and we probably still care about them.
But we wish that cushioning wasn't a dating trend because it proves that many breakups are worse than they have to be. It would be awesome if every couple could end their relationship in an amicable way, especially if they have mutual friends.
6 Zombie-ing: This Is Literally Weird
Zombieing is another dating trend, and it's literally weird.
As Maxim says, "Following ghosting, the individual who dropped you like a hot potato and ignored you for weeks or months suddenly rises from the dead and texts you with a 'Hey, how have you been??' like nothing's wrong."
We never want to be in this kind of situation, that's for sure. If someone wants to break up with us, they need to tell us. If we can see some patterns in these dating trends, it's that ignoring someone is very common. We wish that wasn't the case because it definitely sucks.
5 Benching: It's Lame For A Relationship To Never Really Get Going
The Washington Examiner explains that benching means that we go on some dates with someone and then nothing else happens.
In other words, benching means that the relationship never actually gets going. The term is inspired by sports (benching players) and it works perfectly to describe this annoying situation.
We think that this is so lame and that this should never happen. Why can't a guy tell us that while it was fun to go out with a few times, he doesn't think that we're right for him? Or that he doesn't want to be in a relationship at this point? Or anything else that he's feeling? That would be so much better.
4 Cohabidating: We Should Only Move In Together When It's Real Love
The Daily Mail writes about "cohabidating": "Shacking up with your new partner in a hurry just to relieve financial stress, even though you may not be quite ready yet, is also known as cohabidating."
Why does this dating trend exist? Can't we move in with someone when we're experiencing real love? That's honestly the only time to decide to do this. Moving in with our boyfriend is a big step and it shouldn't be taken lightly. While it's great to split the rent, we shouldn't be thinking about that at the beginning of the relationship. We need to see how things go first.
3 Talking: We Need To Stop Texting So Much And Go On IRL Dates
Talking is defined by The Huffington Post as, "This means texting between two people who have a clear interest in one another."
We've all heard our best friends tell us that there's a cute guy who they are "talking" to. We've probably even said this ourselves.
The truth is that we need to stop texting so much and go on IRL dates. If we keep texting without doing that, we'll never be in an actual relationship, and we won't have a partner. There are many reasons that people talk and text without ever going out in person, like being nervous to admit their true feelings or not wanting to get rejected. But we should take a risk for sure.
2 You-Turn: Falling Too Fast And Then Falling Out Of Love Shouldn't Happen
The Daily Mail talks about the dating trend "you-turn" and describes it as, "falling head over heels in love with someone but suddenly changing your mind for one reason or another."
There are definitely some people who fall for someone super fast and then want to break up just as quickly. We sometimes see this happening in movies and on TV as well.
We wish that this dating trend didn't exist because we should pace ourselves when dating someone new and make sure that they're someone we can picture ourselves with for a long time. It's way too intense to jump into every new relationship super quickly.
1 Almost Relationships: These Need To Go
Swoon.theodysseyonline.com says about almost relationships, "Oh, the infamous almost relationships. These really suck. You're SO close with a person, it's just a label away from being something, then just like that it's completely gone. Can I please not enter another almost relationship in 2019?"
When it comes to almost relationships, we have this to say: these definitely need to go. We can't help but find ourselves in one sometimes, but we can give ourselves a break because everyone has been.
All we can do is make sure that we're not in any almost relationships from now on... and that we don't do anything else on this list, either.

Dancehall artiste Vybz Stylin goes hard on "emotional" artistes in the industry.
In his recent interview, the singer said, musicians who get easily offended or get head swollen by social media comments are jokers.
According to him, social media is a powerful tool that can either make or break you so as an artiste, one of the least things you should pay attention to is social media comments.
Being a musician, you need to be real and be in your lyrics so that eventually makes you emotional. However, if you listen to social media comments; criticism or praise, you dont give much attention to it, just keep your head up and make sure you dont add that kind of emotions to your career. But some of my colleagues cant stand the heat and will be living by those comments for years. Really? Such a joke…
Asked if he takes social media advice and interacts with fans, Vybz Stylin answered..
Yes we all need directions in one way or the other and being a musician doesnt make us different. We need to be advised and shape our lives with it. But, who are you to pick an advise from? Someone who knows your good and bad, and you know well this person or individual will wish you well, and such people are the fans. I will always listen to them because i know deep within, they know whats best for me as an artiste or a product so whatever they say, i take it to prayers and ask for spiritual direction from the Creator and if accepted, i put it to life.
Vybz Stylin is currently preparing for the release of his collaboration with Holic.

2009 HTC Awards Banquet
2009 HTC Outstanding Male Performance Award – David Riddle Speech by Eric Charette I am proud to present the Outstanding Male Performance Award this year. At our nominations meeting, I asked to present this award because of how much I respect the recipient. He represents everything that a runner and person should be, including hard work, determination and humility. Yes he has natural talent, but unlike some athletes who never reach their potential, he cultivates that ability and is always pushing his limits. You can look up his race times and think that you know him, but he is so much more than just the numbers. What I want to do is to tell you a few things that you didn't know, which show you the kind of person he really is. This years' male performance award winner is David Riddle. Let me start with a story that I enjoy telling and after a year has passed it is difficult to remember which parts are fact and which have turned into legend, but either way it is 100% David. The stage was October of 2008 at the Liz Hurley race. I was warming up and going through my final preparations when I saw David running toward me. He seemed out of breathe, but I didn't think anything of it, as I know how hard he trains and just thought that he was doing strides before the race. Fast forward to the end of the race, in which David was the overall winner; This much is all fact. What is now legend was that the race was actually David's 3rd 5km tempo run for the day and the first two were run in the low 16's and his race time was 15:43. So he ran 3 5km's that morning and finished up running the last one faster than anyone else in the race. Knowing David's competitive nature, if he had to run the last one in the lows 15's to win, he would have dug deeper and done it. David's goal race for 2008 really was the marathon in December. Everything he did leading into the marathon, weather racing or training, was for the marathon. One of the amazing facets of David is that he can simulate race pace and intensity in his training. He doesn't have to race (every weekend, like some of us) to get mentally and physically prepared for a goal race. I don't know anyone else who is that focused that can be race ready without racing frequently. It just shows how disciplined that David is. Although it was not quite the result that David had hoped for, his 2:27:27 marathon debut was astonishing by almost every standard. His 5:38 pace for 26.2 miles earned him 5th overall. I think if nothing else, not hitting his time goal has driven him even harder in training ever since. Through the spring, David began to look at his 2009 goals, one of which was to chase his latest passion, to become a better trail runner. He was at all of the Mountain Mist training runs and showed that his endurance and strength would translate well from the road to the trail. While he didn't run the race, it is on his calendar for next year and we'll all be watching (or some of us chasing). We already know from David's "fun run" at Recovery from the Holidays in Dec of 2007, when he ran well under 3:30 and set the course record, that he can run ultra distances. The part of that time that the results don't show was that after each 3 mile loop, he stopped to stretch, grab something to drink, and talk with people like my dad and other aid workers. I think he also did his taxes and finished up his masters degree after the 8th loop! This shows how personable David really is. David showed his trail running prowess and development later in the spring at McKay Hollow in March. After kindly letting me lead for the first mile, he went on to dominate the rest of field. The best comment I heard about David in this race came from race director Blake Thompson, who said that as they waited at top of death trail for runners to finish, if anyone else other than David appeared at the top of the water falls in first place, that they must have cheated. For those of you who ran the race, you may have seen the course marker coming up War Path Ridge that guided (most) runners to O'Shaughnessy Point, and the one that sent David off over the cliff down into the Hollow. I am sure that with his good sense of humor this made him laugh a little. On that day, David not only defeated the field, but he conquered the course, which had thoroughly defeated everyone else. David ran a few more races throughout the year, chalking up notable wins at Winter Winds 2 & 4 Mile, and the Rocket Run 10 miler, where he set state age records at all three races. He was also the top local finisher at Cotton Row for the 10k and then came back and won the 5k later that morning. In fact, David won nearly every race he ran and was even crowned 2009 RRCA Alabama State 10km Champion with his win at the 3M River City Run in April. But it was his trip to Laurel Springs, North Carolina for the USATF 10k Trail National Championship that that showed that he has become a national class competitor. One thing I admire about David is that he doesn't just compete locally, but travels to other races to seek out better competition. He recognizes opportunities to race against others in his class and to be pushed to test his limits. David ran in 3rd place for much of the race, finally finishing 4th on a course that USATF said was the hardest 10km trail course that had ever been assembled, featuring 3100' of elevation change and climbs of 18 and 22% grade. You know it is hard when you find out that David ran a slow 43:31 minutes. Rumor has it that a video of the event exists showing David walking with his hands on his hips! (For the online blog post only, here is the link to the video! David ended the HTC Gran Prix season with wins at the Monte Sano 10k and 5k, pushing him to an even 1000 Gran Prix points as he went 10 for 10 in HTC events. Yet amongst all of his wins, David is extremely humble and will probably have very little to say here in a second when he comes up to accept the award. If I know David, he is getting antsy now because he is going out after dinner for his second run of the day; seriously. It's what he did last year after the banquet. No matter which race it is through the year, you will either see David leading the way, or volunteering his time. I can't recall a local race where he wasn't doing one or the other, which shows his dedication to the sport and his commitment to the well being of running in our community. It is long overdue that we recognize the fact that we are fortunate enough to be blessed with such a talented and hard working runner. We all look for great things to come from David, including conquering the marathon and making Huntsville proud in Boston next year. No matter where you are at on the running ladder, you are always looking up. Depending on your fitness, this may change as to who you look to. One thing will never change and that is that I will always look up to David for the type of person and runner that he is. So I take great pleasure in presenting this award to a good friend, an elite runner and a true champion, David Riddle.

Marina Makeovers
Dry storage marinas with narrow buildings and/or older rack systems are not able to handle storage for the longer, wider boats of today. The construction of new facilities to accommodate these larger boats is not always practical or economical. A viable answer is to retrofit the existing structure with improved structural steel racks which are designed to store the larger boats, resulting in overall increased revenues. The rates that can be charged are then based on the boat length, height and width.
The following customers decided to retrofit their rack systems.

The Four Children of Metropolis
Today that sounds like an internet quiz: "Answer these four questions and we can tell you which child from the Haggadah you are!"
Pop culture can give us new ways to connect to our tradition. The main characters in Superman, when taken together, can give us new insight into the four types of learners that our midrash teaches about.
The Wise One
Lois Lane is the wise child. She is an investigative reporter, whose job requires a depth of knowledge and ability beyond the average citizen… but which also requires her to constantly ask questions in hopes of finding deeper meaning. Lois wants more – she actively seeks out knowledge, and she wants to share it with others. She knows so much about the world; what can we tell Lois that will add to her understanding of the Passover story?
The Wicked One
Lex Luthor is one of the smartest people in Metropolis, but as with any villain he makes everything about himself. "What does this have to do with me? Why should I care?" He fears what Superman brings to the world, and sees himself as better than everyone else. What can we tell Lex to help him understand that he is a part of the story, but not its center? How do we help him connect to something bigger than himself?
The Simple One
Superman is a stranger among us. No matter how much he learns about Earth and the humans who inhabit it, he always struggles to understand the strange world he landed in as a baby. He wants to understand what it is to be human, and how he can be a part of our story, but he doesn't always see how he fits. How can we tell him our story in such a way that he will understand, and find his place within it?
The One Who Doesn't Know How to Ask
Jimmy Olsen is always just trying to keep up. When something happens he's right by Lois's side with his camera, ready to point it at whatever's happening to capture it, but he doesn't understand what it all means. He's easily distracted, and a bit of a goofball. He is willing, but needs our guidance. How we do we give him the tools to engage with the story? How do we help him to learn how to use his voice to ask questions and seek answers?
There are, of course, many other people living in Metropolis. Who would you pick as each of the four children?
[Written with my wife, Rabbi Shawna Brynjegard-Bialik]

Do Not Stand Idly By
Leviticus 19:16 tells us, "Do not stand idly by while your neighbor's blood is shed." We can't continue to look away – to do nothing while children are being killed by gun violence.
I'm not going to outline all of the reasons to support sensible gun laws and regulation – if you're with me, you get it – and if you're not, I'm not sure my blog is going to change your mind. But I can't do nothing – and so I've made this poster. The image is from Sensation Comics #1 (January 1942, drawn by Harry G. Peter), and the design is an homage to Barbara Kruger.
I've done this in a few different sizes and have PDFs available here for you to download and print and share and make into posters and whatever you want to do with it – just get the message out there. Want to use it in your school protest? Walkout? At a family picnic? At Passover seder? Go for it.

Gail Simone and Adriana Melo Team Up for Plastic Man this June!
This June 13, writer Gail Simone kicks off a new monthly six-issue miniseries for Plastic Man. Simone in the announcement said that the series is "sexy and stretchy and (she) seriously hop(es) it offends ALL the best people!"
Simone is the fan-favorite, award nominated writer whose run on DC Comics' Birds of Prey, Secret Six, and Batgirl, are all considered classics. She's also written Clean Room for Vertigo.
Simone went on in the announcement to describe the character we can expect:
He's the jester, the joke, the stretchy weirdo. He's not credible. He's not reliable. He's…well, he's Plastic Man. He's like a stretchy Swamp Thing or the bouncy Batman; writing him is a goofy, snarky honor and I'm thrilled to be part of his rubber ribaldry.
Plas is THE original humor hero jock, and I think that everyone from Lobo to the Mask to Deadpool to Harley Quinn follows a little bit in his footsteps. If you read his best stories, he's always a little bit bawdy, a little bit messed up, and that really is my favorite kind of hero.
Plastic Man, stars Eel O'Brian, petty thug, thief and con artist.
Joining Simone in June will be artist Adriana Melo. Aaron Lopresti is providing a cover for the first issue and Amanda Conner will have a variant. Check out a look at Lopresti's cover below as well as some of the interior work by Melo.

Welcome to my new blog, "Sex, Drugs and Economics". You might rightfully ask, why call your blog "Sex, Drugs and Economics"? Well, some time ago I was asked to describe my research interests in a single (short) sentence. I have always had a pretty wide portfolio of research interests (if you are interested, my Google Scholar profile is here), but at the time my main research interests were in the economics of HIV/AIDS (my PhD thesis was on the relationships between poverty and HIV/AIDS in the Northeast of Thailand), and I was embarking on a new project on the spatial economics and impacts of liquor outlet density (research which has since generated a significant amount of publicity as liquor licensing laws have been reviewed and subsequently changed in New Zealand). Thus: sex, drugs and economics.
Why blog at all?
Until a few years ago, my first year elective economics paper (ECON110 Economics and Society - still my favourite paper to teach) students had to complete a blog as part of their assessment for the paper. Students found this to be one of the most challenging, and most rewarding, aspects of the paper (I've published on their this innovative assessment here, with a much longer ungated version here).
It was also a great way to launch discussions of how even basic economics applies in the real world. So, in part this blog is a way for me to create a discussion space for my students, and help them to recognise the value in the economic approach to looking at real-world situations.
I'm not entirely unselfish though. There is research to suggest that blogging boosts the reputation of the blogger above economists with similar publication records, and it would be silly not to try and milk some of those benefits. And it's a good way to talk about some of the quirky research that others are doing, using economics.
What can you expect from this blog?
It's unlikely that I'll become a daily (or more frequent) blogger in the way that some of my favourite bloggers are, like Jodi Beggs at Economists Do It With Models. But I'll aim to post once or twice a week - sometimes on contemporary issues, and sometimes on quirky applied economics papers from the recent past. I'm hoping that most of my posts will apply some fairly basic economic principles, to make them accessible to my students.

Mayflex completes refurb of M-Tech facilities
Mayflex has completed a refurbishment of its flagship demonstration facility at its Birmingham headquarters and another at its City of London offices. The updates, which have taken place over the last few months, have also seen completely new facilities installed at the St Neots in Cambridge offices and at the newest offices in Motherwell, Scotland.
The M-Tech facilities at each of the locations predominantly focus on the Excel infrastructure range of products. Each M-Tech is ideal to conduct customer, staff and vendor meetings, with designated seating areas and tables, write boards, product sample boards and screens for presentations to be displayed.
Tracey Calcutt, Marketing Manager at Mayflex comments: "We have put a huge amount of time and effort into refurbishing our existing M-Tech facilities and creating our new ones. Staff from across the business have helped to design, plan and install the technology with the aim of creating an environment at each venue which both works as a demonstration facility and one that is functional as a meeting and training room."
Tracey continued, "We are keen to welcome installers and customers to visit their nearest location. Customers can hold their sales or customer meetings at these facilities and get to view the latest products at the same time."

HBO's Game of Thrones is filled with juicy characters bursting with personality—and now you can savor the wines to match at Pairings Portland's annual Game of Thrones Wine Tasting Flight! That's right, Portland's "weirdest wine shop and bar" will pair eight wines to eight GoT characters August 9-12 for just $25, a deal Cersei herself wouldn't be able to resist.
"Not only is our Game of Thrones tasting our most popular event, but it's really fun for us to put together," said Pairings Portland owner Jeffrey Weissler. "Let's say we describe a character as "bold, mischievous, and unpredictable." Our job is then to show you how to taste those words. How? Come in and we'll show you how to get creative and have fun with wine!"
Which characters will Pairings choose? Sansa Stark, Jon Snow, Arya Stark, Daenerys Targaryen, Cersei Lannister, Davos Seaworth, Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish, Bran Stark, Brienne of Tarth, Jaime Lannister, Samwell Tarly, Tyrion Lannister, and Jorah Mormont are all contenders, but you'll have to come to Pairings Portland August 9-12 to see who made the final cut! (Hint: it will depend on which characters are still alive by August!)
About Pairings Portland: Pairings Portland is a wine shop, wine bar, and classroom dedicated to a new approach to wine. We offer traditional wines in nontraditional ways, with a focus on fun and approachability. We offer wine by the glass and bottle, as well as flights, classes, creative events, and custom offerings both at the shop and away. Find us online at http://pairingsportland.com/

Light energy halved at Liverpool Street station
The installed lighting load at Liverpool Street railway station in the City of London has been halved after the metal halide high bay luminaires were replaced.
The installed lighting load at Liverpool Street railway station in the City of London has been halved after the metal halide high bay luminaires were replaced.
Bluetooth has announced a direction-finding feature that means Bluetooth-enabled lights could be used for way finding, location tracking and proximity services.
A bespoke lighting system has transformed Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome, allowing the art works to be seen in vivid detail for the first time.
The 55-storey Evolution Tower has made a dramatic entrance onto the Moscow skyline – not least for its innovative lighting.
Workplaces are changing. They're becoming more dynamic, more attractive, more in tune with the people that use them. But let's take a look at how we have previously been lighting our workplaces and see if we can justify this particular change.
Curling rinks may not be in the SLL Code for Lighting 2019, but one UK firm had to come up with a design that would give players perfect lighting, minimise energy and deliver TV broadcast standard illumination when necessary. And all with simple wireless control...
What's being dubbed the most advanced spotlight ever has been unveiled by formalighting.
The UK's oldest lighting company, which counts the Queen among its customers, has ceased trading.
We test and review the latest LED tape.
The use of virtual reality for lighting design and specification took a step closer to the mainstream today with the unveiling of a suite of apps from Signify, formerly Philips.
What's in store for the lighting industry in 2019? The big mega trends of recent years will continue of course, as digital disruption will challenge some business models and create opportunities for others, especially those who can make digital experiences a seamless and positive customer experience. Here's our take on 10 trends we expect to see in the coming 12 months.
A Dutch city has turned to 'light on demand' technology to allowed it to provide the residents with sufficient light levels while also preventing energy waste and light pollution.
Philips OEM has unveiled generation three of its established TrustSight LED emergency conversion kits.
The firm tasked with installing the ambitious showpiece Illuminated River project in London has been named.
The unveiling of a high-speed version of Li-Fi has brought the revolutionary technology closer to widespread adoption.
The adoption of internet-connected lighting will begin in earnest this year, the CEO of Osram Digital has predicted.

Prior to the inspection...
Prepare a list of questions or concerns about the property and provide them to the inspection company in advance. This will help ensure that such matters are addressed and that any special arrangements can be made if necessary.
Real estate agents should instruct sellers to ensure all areas are accessible to the inspector. For example, if the attic access is in a closet, all clothes and belongings should be removed from that closet.
During the inspection...
If you are a home buyer, it is especially important to be present during the inspection. By accompanying the inspector, you will have the opportunity to:
•See the condition of each key component throughout the house and property firsthand, helping give you a better understanding of the home and of the resulting inspection report.
•Help ease any concerns about findings which may seem distressing on paper but are in fact superficial. For example, the inspector might explain that inexpensive lubricant can quiet an alarming appliance noise, that an unsightly column needs only a coat of paint, or that the problem causing a water spot has previously been corrected.
•Save time and avoid frustration by learning about the operation of your new home. You may find out how the heating system works, how to light pilot lights, how to turn on various appliances and components, and where shut-offs are. The inspector can also point out maintenance needs and procedures, and explain how and when to check items that need periodic monitoring.
•Have all of your questions and concerns addressed immediately as they arise.
After the inspection...
Read your home inspection report thoroughly. If you have concerns or need clarification -- no matter how minor the issue -- please do not hesitate to call your home inspector.

At least 85 people have attempted to enter the United States under false identities using authentic Hungarian passports obtained via a program designed to grant ethnic Hungarians abroad citizenship, according to a report by The Washington Post.
Why it matters: The security vulnerability could allow criminals — like human traffickers and drug smugglers — to enter the U.S. undetected. It also could be utilized on a larger scale, perhaps by Russia or a terrorist group like ISIS.

Zanzibar Travel, Tanzania
Stone Town, the old part of Zanzibar City. Photo by Wegmann
Zanzibar holidays
Zanzibar, known locally as Unguja, is not an tiny and isolated island republic as many imagine but an historically powerful trading sultanate (kingdom) and now a state within the republic of Tanzania in East Africa.
The name Zanzibar somehow evokes an ancient and faded dream vision of wide, sunny beaches and narrow, dark alleyways – which actually just about summarises Unguja island (commonly known as Zanzibar), though the cool alleys are frequently decrepit and the wide beaches liberally strewn with seaweed. That's not to put down Zanzibar as a fine and competitively priced beach destination, it's just better for a traveler to head out there with realistic expectations.
Paradise, it's not. If that's the requirement then the Seychelles, further out into the Indian Ocean, may be more suitable, though only if the wallet is fat and cultural needs thin.
Strictly speaking Zanzibar actually applies to the archipelago – island group – that includes Pemba island and Unguja island, while Zanzibar Town is usually known as Stone Town. Still, we will continue to call the island Zanzibar, which resonates better with us, since Unguja sound more like a traditional Tanzanian laxative or the noise a lion makes when it's copulating.
Where is Zanzibar?
It's just off the coast of Tanzania, southeast Africa. In fact Zanzibar is an archipelago composed of three main islands: Zanzibar that's locally known as Unguja, Pemba, Mafia and a number of smaller islets. Zanzibar island is 90km long and 30km wide.
Why go there?
Zanzibar beach vacations are often tagged onto the end of a wildlife safari through one or more of Tanzania's game parks or a climb up Mt Kilimanjaro even though these attractions are in the north of Tanzania, near the city of Arusha, while Zanzibar is off the centre-east coast, near the large and bustling city of Dar es Salaam.
From Dar a 90 minute ferry ride or a short plane trip is sufficient will get you to Zanzibar Island off the Tanzanian coast.
Tanzania's first stop for many travellers is a romantic Serengeti wildlife safari followed by wet Zanzibar beach ball.
Best time to visit Zanzibar
Best weather: June-September.
OK: October-February (some short rains).
Temperatures normally range from low 20'sC (70's F) to mid 30'sC (100 F), which is fine, though the humidity can get uncomfortable.
During Ramadan many if not most Muslims will neither eat nor drink during the daytime and consequently many cafes, restaurants and even shops will open only after sunset; public eating, drinking and smoking by tourists may upset the locals. In one Muslim country the only alcohol served to us during our visit was from a teapot into tea cups in a first class hotel.
Furthermore service personnel may be missing, careless or irritable during the daytime.
The last day of Ramadan, known as Idd al Fitr, can be a wild time with much celebrating, depending on location.
Dates depend on the full moon rising in your location so they may differ by one day depending on where you plan to be.
In 2019 Ramadan will start on the 6 May and will continue for 30 days until the 4 of June.
Zanzibar Attractions

Zanzibar is not in fact one island but an archipelago (island group) including another largish island, Pemba, and several smaller ones including Mafia, though the island of Zanzibar is where most tourists choose to spend their time and money.
The island's urban centre, Zanzibar Town contains an old section called Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the recipient of much of the tourist income.
Zanzibar Island is girdled with dazzling white beaches that are scattered with colourful local villages as well as a selection of superb modern beach resorts that come with a stiff price tag, and a fair number of smaller, low-budget resorts aimed at backpackers and year gappers.
Some of the sights of Stone Town
• the 17thC Arab (aka Old) Fort where cultural events take place in the central courtyard.
• the carved wooden balconies and stained-glass windows of the four storey Old Dispensary.
• the Sultan's old palace (Palace Museum) housing a collection of memorabilia from the life of a Zanzibari royal family.
• Dr Livingstone's last house before he disappeared, a small palace used by missionaries.
Stone Town is host to a maze of cool, narrow alleys, many stately 19thC houses laden with verandas and bougainvillea, elaborately carved and studded doors and lintels, mosques, bazaars, bars and shabby-chic hotels.
House of Wonders. Photo by Steve Bennett.
• the House of Wonders, another palace that was the first building in Zanzibar to have electricity – thus the 'Wonder'. It now houses a museum of Swahili and Zanzibar culture.

Zanzibar is also known as Spice Isle due to its many spicy plantations while the Jozani Forest 35km (22 miles) SE of Stone Town, is a popular nature walking spot with clear trails and probable sightings of monkeys, bush-pigs, antelope, civet, mongoose, a wide variety of bird life and butterflies.

The Mangapwani Caves 20 kms out of town have historical connections with the slave trade, one a cool pool the other a holding pen.
In the south, Kizimkazi fishing village is located near a bottle-nosed dolphins playground while across the water Pemba island is less frequented but popular with scuba divers.
Zanzibar basics
Currency: this is not a costly destination. Local currency is the Tanzanian shilling; bring cash or traveler's cheques to buy the currency. US $ are favoured.
Major credit cards are accepted at large establishments.
There are NO ATMs in Zanzibar (only in Dar es Salaam).
Cuisine: Spicy (not surprising considering spices have been one of the island's main crops for centuries) Swahili seafood of all sorts, with rice and often flavoured with coconut and tamarind.
The superb, value-for-money open-air market every evening in Stone Town's waterside Forodhani Gardens is a great value way to experiment with Tanzania's best cuisine, meet people and get some cultural input too. It's a winner!
Electricity: 220-140v, 3 flat pin new British style or 3 round pin old British style plugs.
Languages: Swahili and English.
Visas: Get it at Zanzibar airport on arrival. USD$50 (no photos required) for Europeans or USD$100 for Americans. Download the application from the Tanzania tourism site, complete it beforehand and present it along with the precise money in US currency. The visa will be stamped into your passport.
Health: this is a malarial area so take precautions; read our mosquito page.
Getting there
At the moment only Gulf Air, Ethiopian Airlines and KLM fly directly to Zanzibar, but many other airlines fly to Dar es Salaam. Zanzibar is GMT + 3 hours, so no real jet-lag problem flying from Europe.
From Dar, a sizeable city, a 90 minute ferry or a short plane ride is sufficient to reach Zanzibar, 40kms (25 miles) off the coast.
Beware the sinking feeling
In July 2012 an overloaded ferry from Dar es Salaam to Stonetown, MV Skagit, capsized. Over 100 passengers were rescued, including a number of foreigners, but many people died, the total is not yet known. This is the second recent ferry disaster off Zanzibar as local ferry MV Spice Islander sank on the way to Pemba from Unguja (Zanzibar Island) in September 2011. Over 2, 000 people died in that incident and over 600 rescued.
Recently there has been an increase in the number of muggings, bag snatching and even kidnapping, both on the mainland and on Zanzibar. There was also a terrible incident of acid attack on two girl tourists in 2013 which may have had islamic fundamentalist overtones (or simply rejected advances). Take care, especially around unknown urban areas after dark and females should cover up bare torsos/shoulders/thighs and maybe even hair when walking around the town (see local women in the photo further up the page). Beaches should not be a problem.
In addition there have been political demonstrations. These are not aimed at tourists but it's best to stay out of the way of over-excited locals.
Getting around Zanzibar
Mini buses (dalla-dalla) criss-cross the island while taxis are not expensive. Car, motorcycle hire is a possible but don't forget to bring an International Driver's Permit. Bicycles too can be rented. Pemba Island also runs buses and rentals.
Religion: Mainly Islam.
Ramadan, Muslim fasting month with varied dates. See above for dates and more information.

The Color of Money
I am sure that there is more than enough coverage of the latest Next Big Thing, Color, to satiate everyone's appetite. John Battelle has certainly not hidden his thoughts on the start up that landed $41 million.
In short, if Color is used by a statistically significant percentage of folks, nearly every location that matters on earth will soon be draped in an ever-growing tapestry of visual cloth, one that no doubt will also garner commentary, narrative structure, social graph meaning, and plasticity of interpretation. Imagine if Color—and the fundaments which allow its existence—had existed for the past 100 years. Imagine what Color might have revealed during the Kennedy assassination, or the recent uprisings in North Africa and the Middle East, or hell, the Rodney King beating?
Trust me on this. If Colors fails, it will be due to execution, and someone else will get it right. Because the world wants and needs this, and the time is now. (By the way, I'm not encouraged by the website, which focuses on group sharing and such. I think the service is way bigger than that. But I guess you have to start somewhere…)
The "world wants and need this" Really?

A fun learning innovation camp for the kids to explore their unique talents.
The Merry Spell educational program is organizing a fun learning innovation camp for the pre-schoolers at Euro Kids. With the paradigm of personalized learning MerrySpell aims to aspire the youngest innovators through this camp.
It's quite common that kids don't get the right kind of exposure and appropriate podium to showcase their unique talents. MerrySpell provides that podium to the kids. For this MerrySpell conducts various interactive events and activities to help kids develop imagination skills, creative skills and communication skills.
The Innovation Camp will use visuals and sounds to provide the right kind of environment for innovative thinking. It is an amazing opportunity for the kids to learn the basics of innovation in a fun-filled way!
With the help of the MerrySpell program children will get a chance to experience how problem solving can be fun and interesting. Merry Spell encourages kids to develop interest for innovating things that can prove to be beneficial for them and for others. Its activities make students learn as well as enjoy.
This event aims to be informative and thought provoking which would help the kids to brainstorm and generate ideas. Such events often help the kids in the long run. Merry Spell incubates the young minds to become the innovators of tomorrow. Event is based on new concepts and focused on each and every child individually.

Today's world is full of competition and challenges so Merry Spell helps your child to become the game changer of tomorrow. Kids are filled with creativity and through this event Merry Spell trying to unleash it.
About Merry Spell:
MerrySpell Program has been inspired by three great books "Unbarred Innovation: A Pathway to Greatest Discoveries" , "Evolve like a Butterfly: A Metamorphic Approach to Leadership" and "Screw up Theory, Let's be Practical" written by Mayur Ramgir, an international multiple award winning author, an international award winning film director and international award winning innovator. He is also a permanent Fellow of The World Technology Network and Finalist in the well reputed international award 'The World Technology Award 2017' along with Elon Musk, Tim Berners-Lee (Founder of Internet WWW), Emmanuel Macron – President of France, John P. Holdren – Former Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (Obama administration), Xi Jinping – President, People's Republic of China etc.
All three books of Mayur Ramgir revolve around the idea of how successful people take every challenge as a blessing and how important is to believe and trust your uniqueness and individuality. Successful people are those people who take failure an opportunity to overcome the flawed and feeble aspects of their strategies. They improve and strengthen themselves after every stumble, rising up stronger and better than ever before. Creativity is about how you can take the smallest idea out of your mind, polish it, and present it to the world in a way that changes everything, not just for the world but also for you. Be the modern day innovator, raise future innovators, and find out how innovation can pave way to entrepreneurship.

David Patrick (athlete)
David Patrick (born June 12, 1960 in Centralia, Illinois) is a retired American hurdler. He ran the 400 metres hurdles in the 1992 Summer Olympics and was the second American in the final, which was won by Kevin Young while setting the still standing current world record in the event.[1]
Patrick won two individual NCAA titles (880 yards indoor, 400 meter hurdles) while competing for the University of Tennessee.[2]
Patrick is the husband of Sandra Farmer-Patrick, who was also an elite 400 metres hurdler. The two had a history of success at the same meets, including the 1989 IAAF World Cup in Barcelona, Spain where both took the gold medal. It was the first time a husband and wife won a gold medal in the same event in international championship.[3] Earlier in the year, they had become the first husband and wife to both win national championships at the same time since Hal Connolly and Olga Connolly did the same thing 29 years earlier.[4] The couple were exorcising frustration at the 1988 U.S. Olympic Trials when both failed to qualify. He was the bronze medallist at the 1988 IAAF Grand Prix Final that year. David set his personal record in the 400 hurdles at 47.75 while finishing fourth behind eventual Olympic Champion Andre Phillips, the legend of the event Edwin Moses and future world record holder Kevin Young (with 1984 Silver Medalist Danny Harris, one one-hundredth of a second behind Patrick). Running in the difficult lane one, Patrick was behind off the final turn but made an impressive surge at the end of the race to miss making the team by .03.[5] His time makes him still the 22nd best performer in the event. That year, wife Sandra was disqualified after winning her semi-final. David had also attempted to qualify in the 800 metres in 1988.
In 1992, both made the Olympic team with David finishing second just behind Kevin Young and Sandra winning the Olympic Trials. Sandra won a Silver medal in the event at the Olympics in 1992 and again made the team in 1996.
David Patrick was ranked in the top 10 Americans from 1981 to 1994, excepting 1982 and was in the top 5 through most of that from 1983 to 1993 when the United States was dominating the event with Moses, Phillips, Harris and Young being the best in the world.[6]
He should not be confused with another David Patrick, from Villanova, who ran the 1500 metres in the 1968 Olympic Trials.

Yoga is a great teambuilding activity that strengthens both mind and body. Last Friday we at A-M-G had our first Yoga session together!
As consultants at A-M-G we don't see each other as often that we would like to since our assignments vary. Hence to build and develop a strong team becomes important and essential for us. Every other week our LACE (Lean Agile Center of Excellence) meetings are to strengthen our cohesion, ventilate thoughts, share knowledge etc. At one of these meetings an idea grew of doing something else outside of work. We wanted to do a physical activity that everyone in the team could participate in. Maryam has always been very found of Yoga. Especially because we live in a high speed society and often forget just to simply breathe. Yoga isn't just great for your body but also your mind. Here are some of the scientifically proven health benefits of Yoga:
- Can decrease stress
- Relieves anxiety and may fight depression
- May reduce inflammation
- Could improve heart health
- Could promote sleep quality
- Improves flexibility and balance
Sounds great, right? We believe that Yoga will help to improve not only our ability to being mindful and present in everything that we do, but also our physical health. The positive effects of combining mind and body will result in us doing a better job for our clients. Last Friday we had our first, out of six, Yoga classes at Sats Kompassen. The lovely Caroline, yogayum @ Instagram, took us through a wonderful session taking into consideration that A-M-G consists of a mix of both beginners and some more experienced Yoga performers. All and all everybody really enjoyed this activity! Afterwards we went to The Parlour for a delicious after-yoga-meal and a few drinks. A perfect ending of the week!
