The phrase "food security" is one that is not constantly on the minds of privileged people in developed nations. Even though every country has a percentage of the population that is hungry, most reactions to it would lead people to immediately think of the struggling people in Sub-Saharan Africa, starving each and every day. Yet food security is an extremely prevalent issue throughout the globe, even in the most developed of nations.
I was drawn to an article titled "Food poverty puts UK's international human rights obligations in danger" by Patrick Butler, published in The Guardian. In it, he describes how the UK is failing to meet the international standards of providing food and food security to its population. It has become so bad that the number of emergency food banks have increased exponentially over the past two years. Food banks overseen by Trussell Trust used to feed 60,000 people in 2010, and the numbers have increased to over four times of that (Butler). A few of the main causes of this increase in food insecurity are welfare reform, and the inability of benefits and tax credits to balance inflation. Now an increased number of families in this well-developed nation are struggling to put food on the table, therefore more are relying on food banks. There have been efforts to combat the issue of poverty-related hunger in the UK: various charities are coming together to oversee the changing food security issue and possible other welfare reforms are currently in progress.
As a privileged, middle-class American, it is sometimes possible to overlook the hardships of others who also live in developed countries. Even upon entering this international health class, the first few issues that came to my mind dealt with developing Africa and Asia. Unfortunately, poverty is everywhere, and even in the seventh most developed nation such as the UK, it is terrifyingly present. While reading this article, I thought of BU's Student Food Rescue program, of which I have been a volunteer for 2 ½ years. Each week as I am driving the van to various locations to pick up and deliver food, I am reminded of the difficulties many must face everyday to put food on the table. I realize poverty is omnipresent, but the real issue that alarmed me the most in this article was that hunger is increasing exponentially in the UK. With more people unable to buy enough food, they are relying on charities and food banks, but how much longer are they able to rely on those systems? UN and government actions must occur to fight this growing trend of people going hungry. I am not well versed in economics and governmental policies, but I do believe that with the amount of food in this world there is most likely enough to feed everyone. The issue is that the economy is unbalanced, with inflation increasing and wages not, making supporting families more difficult. With this imbalance comes extremely negative consequences i.e. increasing numbers of hungry people. This article definitely opened my mind to the increased problems of food insecurity faced by the developed countries, and it broadened my understanding of overall food security in developed and developing nations. I would recommend this article to everyone to let them know that food insecurity is occurring everywhere, not just in developing nations. It helps us to realize that changes must be made to keep up with economical issues in order to combat the ever-growing number of hungry people.

Mumbai, March 3:
"If the Muslim community in India want any special treatment as Muslims, they should go to Pakistan," the Shiv Sena said here Tuesday.
"If they (Muslims) want anything from this country, they must first accept India as their motherland and proclaim 'Vande Mataram'. They cannot demand freedom and yet continue to cling to their religion," the party said in a sharp edit in 'Saamana' Tuesday.
The edit follows All India Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asasuddin Owaisi's fiery speech in Nagpur March 1, where among other things, he demanded reservations for the Muslim community on the lines of Marathas in Maharashtra. (IANS)


text:
By races I don't mean the scale of treatment the government affords the South African people. By races I mean dices from robot to robot, endless left turns around a track or F1 cars abusing porcupine-shaped stretches of tar.
By cultures I also don't mean the languages and rules and rituals that are supposed to sustain us as people. I mean the different cultures of automobile lovers, for example lovers of bikes, old scraps of welded metal with wheels, shiny classics, 200km/h breakfast runs or just the safety of your family on the move.
By colours I don't mean that of your tacky nails, grand furniture, walls, kômmin bachelorette outfit, cell phone cover or retro Smeg fridge. I mean the colour of your personal transport; the colour you like just for the sake that you like it, or the colour you choose that will make people turn around for a second look or not.
But by personality I mean just that: your personality. That what makes you you.
The thing about your personality, though, is that it's influenced (and defined in a way) by your race and culture. The expression your personality usually happens through (amoung others) colour, whether it might be trough your nails, furniture, bachelorette outfit, cell phone cover or retro Smeg fridge.
Your motoring personality, then, is a combination of these three aspects. You might belong to the left-turn race and the 200km/h-breakfast-run culture, but have your car's interior in dull beige everything.
What it comes down to is that your car is the only thing that you can unashamedly dress up all the time, 24/7.
We are bound to dress codes our whole lives. Work demands its own set of outfits, as do our social lives. Some social establishments have such dress codes that make you have two different sets of social cupboards. You have separate drawers for you gym clothes.
We are forced to pretty much have different clothes for every occasion, which forces you to have several different closets for your whole life.
Your car, however, doesn't have to live through such hell. It is pretty much the only thing in your life with which can express you personality uninterruptedly. You never had to re-dress it. Only a quick spit and polish and it's good to go anywhere. No one ever tells you that your car isn't welcome at a function or at work.
No one will tell you that you have to remove the spoiler on your boot or roof, even less to replace those pink-eye-inducing, shiny 20-spoke mags with simple 'decent' ones because they might not be appropriate for a certain situation.
As I've said, the above-mentioned characteristics mix in their own individual ways inside every person and it's interesting to try and figure it out while sitting in traffic.
A guy driving a 'boring' white family SUV with insane after-market mags and inch or two too big usually tells me that he belongs to the race that races pimp-out fast cars (part of the robot-to-robot dice scene when he was young), yet is a caring father in culture and he choose the white because it makes him more sensible and responsible on those enormous wheels (or to keep the wife happy, but that's a whole other column).
Which brings me to the picture in the article.
I was out with friends over the weekend and we came across this motorbike, painted with all the colours of the rainbow in neon.
To be frank, I loathe it. I think it's way too over-the-top and begs for attention harder than a Kardashian (it works though). But I also love this bike for the simple reason that it belongs to someone who can paint a bike this (for lack of a better and more diplomatic work) flamboyant and park it for the whole world to behold.
The owner may not know it, but I think he is a perfect blend of race, culture and colour for the simple fact that he is uncompromisingly who he is. Love it or hate it, he wants this motorbike to be seen and admired, whether that be positive or negative. He knows that his bike won't ever be subjective to a dress code, so why be dull?
That is individuality in its very essence.

The moment Tiahleigh Palmer's foster brother confessed to having sex with the 12-year-old, the Brisbane schoolgirl's fate was sealed, a court has heard.
Trent Thorburn, 20, confessed to his mother in late October 2015 he'd had sex with Tiahleigh amid fears the young girl was pregnant.
Within hours it is alleged Tiahleigh was murdered.
On Thursday, Thorburn was given a head sentence of four years' imprisonment after pleading guilty to four charges including incest at the Beenleigh District Court.
With time already served, Thorburn's sentence will be suspended for five years on January 20, 2018.
The court heard Thorburn had sex with Tiahleigh on at least one occasion in October.
Concerned she was pregnant, Thorburn revealed what had happened in a Facebook messenger conversation with his cousin.
Following his cousin's advice, Thorburn then confessed to his mother, an action crown prosecutor David Nardone said was the "catalyst" to Tiahleigh's death.
Judge Craig Chowdhury said Thorburn engaged in "a sustained, immoral and disgraceful plan" with other family members to cover up Tiahleigh's death.
Thorburn's barrister Robert East said his client never expected Tiahleigh to be killed and had described "waking up the next morning hoping it was all a bad dream but it became a living nightmare".
Mr East said his client had lied out of "misguided loyalty" to his family and would have to live with the knowledge his misconduct led to "an innocent life being lost".
After Tiahleigh's body was discovered on the banks of the Pimpama River in November 2015, Thorburn denied having sex with her to police on multiple occasions.
He also made false statements and testimony at two Crime and Corruption Commission hearings into his knowledge of Tiahleigh's death.
Judge Chowdhury said Thorburn had failed in his obligation to do the right thing.
"You needed to man up and your failure to do so is a shocking reflection on you," Judge Chowdhury said.
Tiahleigh's mother Cindy Palmer, who was in the court for the sentencing, said Thursday's outcome was just the second step in the quest for justice for her daughter.
Thorburn's mother is due to be sentenced on charges of perjury and attempting to pervert the course of justice in November. Thorburn's father Richard has been committed to stand trial for murder at a date to be determined.

How to Present Phenomenally. Why it is Important to your Business Success.
Recently I was challenged to run a presentation skills masterclass in an hour for a FinTech bank. I managed to negotiate an extra 30 minutes which took it to 90 minutes for 11 people. "Impossibe" some people said. However as we know, nothing is impossible. The bits that went well in the time were the 1 minute presentations, the coaching and the tips. Not so well in the short period was some of the more advanced issues of the use and abuse of slides.
Here is my report to the client for the future with my tips that are useful to others. When they want to make a difference in presenting.
Objectives – Need to be very clear and repeated in the introduction by the introducer. Despite the invitation, some people won't have read the brief carefully – so it needs to be repeated. By the introducer for positioning purposes.
One minute presentations should be longer – say 3 minutes. I think they should be of a business nature next time. This will avoid the "stand-up comics" that went early. They were funny but had no real relevance to what we were trying to achieve. I felt they also might have intimidated the less confidence presenters.
Feedback or feedforward – This should come from somebody skilled in feed forward and in presenting. There are some strong characters in any presentation group who will dominate. It will be difficult to do and be accepted from someone who is a peer. See chapter 14; Win Win – How to get a winning result from persuasive negotiations. Pages 189-191
The presentations generally didn't have an opening and a closing. These are the most important parts of any presentation or pitch is the opening and then the closing.
Opening (1st Impressions – the What and the Why).
Closing (the How) the call to action. The next move, meeting or the closing of the sale / persuasion piece or buy in.
Power of three. Remember to emphasise the power of three in opening and closings. This cannot be underestimated in its importance.
In the outline for the pilot – We agreed I would do some demonstrations of how certain techniques and how they could be used effectively. Slides, video, blacking the screen etc. Due to the time constraints, they fell between the devil and the deep blue sea. They should be removed to a more advanced session where there is more time and perhaps group led.
Concentration times of audiences have never been shorter, particularly with Gen Z / Millenials. That is why using "pattern interrupts" such as power slides, edited video clips 10 secs, props, discussions, handouts at the right time can bring back the attention. It is the responsibility of the presenter / leader to do that. The demonstration of my slidedeck was a mistake in the short time we had, as I think it missed the point above. The feedback said some of the slides are old hat. It's not the slide illusion; it's the point you want to make with it, which I didn't explain.
Nerves and confidence. These go hand in hand when presentation. Some people suffer more than others. Proper use of quality slides will help, avoid death by powerpoint, assist the presenter and engage the audience. They will help with the handling of nerves and increase confidence.
Presenting phenomenally is available for download on Amazon or from myself direct. Derek Arden

ACT District Testing Program Details
During the 2019-2020 school year, ACT will offer four test dates: one in the fall and three in the spring. Select the date(s) that work best for your district.
Districts may choose from two test options. All participating schools in a district must test using the same test option—either the ACT or the ACT with writing.
The district assessment coordinator will be our primary contact for the ACT District Testing program. During the implementation phase, we ask that this coordinator serve as the liaison between schools, district officials, and ACT.
During subsequent phases (school establishment, training, materials delivery, administration, and some post-exam activities), we will work directly with the schools. From time to time, we may still ask for the coordinator's assistance.
Once testing is completed, we will send the district assessment coordinator all district-level reports and an invoice based on the number of students tested and the type of test administered.
District assessment coordinators may also be the school test coordinator at individual schools participating in District testing.
The ACT: $45.50
The ACT with writing: $59.00
Additional discounts available for districts with 50%-100% of students in the Free and Reduced Lunch Program (FRLP). View pricing infographic.
Invoices will be generated based on the counts provided in the Student Data Upload.
Districts may choose to participate in both fall 2019 and one spring 2020 ACT test window—or choose to participate in only fall or only one spring test date. Note that all schools testing under a parent institution (district) must test in the test window selected by the district using the same test option—either the ACT or the ACT with writing.
In spring 2019, we'll request information about schools and testing staff designated for fall 2019. Any testing staff changes that occur over the summer can be submitted to ACT in August. We'll accept applications for ACT-approved accommodations for the fall 2019 test window beginning in late May. You can continue to submit accommodation applications through early August.
In the spring of 2019, we'll request information about schools and testing staff designated for the spring 2020 administration. Any testing staff changes that occur over the summer can be submitted to ACT when they occur. We'll accept applications for ACT-approved accommodations for the spring 2020 test window in November. You can continue to submit accommodations applications through mid-January.

A federal judge gave his final approval Thursday to a $42.6 million class-action settlement between companies that made and installed government-issued trailers after hurricanes in 2005 and Gulf Coast storm victims who claim they were exposed to hazardous fumes in the shelters. Judge Kurt D. Engelhardt of Federal District Court ruled after hearing from lawyers who brokered a deal resolving nearly all remaining court claims over formaldehyde in trailers provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Roughly 55,000 residents of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Texas will be eligible for shares of the $37.5 million paid by more than two dozen manufacturers. They also can get shares of a separate $5.1 million settlement with FEMA contractors who installed and maintained the units.Continue reading the main story

Top Tips for Fundraising: Part One
December 6, 2017 • 0 Comment
Raising enough money for the YOUTH event can seem daunting. However, it isn't impossible and doesn't have to consume all of your group's time and energy. The fundraising process can become a way to bond as a group before leaving for YOUTH 2019. We've put together a list of 25 cost saving tips to help you and your youth group raise funds and have fun. Over the next few month we will be sharing these tips with you. Let us know some of your favorite fundraising tips in the comments.
- Make the YOUTH event part of your regular four-year rotation. Instead of another large trip, take your EXISTING FUNDRAISERS and use them to attend the youth event.
- PARENT SAVER MEALS Once a quarter (spring, summer, fall, winter) send youth home with a disposable foil pan and lid. They make a dish (oven ready like a casserole, poppy seed chicken, etc) and bring it back the next Sunday. Then sell them for $15-$20 each. When the youth event gets closer, offer them more regularly.
- UPCYCLE FURNITURE. You probably have some crafty people in your church. So scour thrift stores, and online sources, to find beat up and either free or cheap furniture. Then recover or decorate those items and post the furniture for sale twice a year. It also helps your youth connect with adults in your congregation as they work on projects together.
- Do a SPECIAL DINNER NIGHT with reservations, candlelit tables, and a choice of preordered of lasagna, chicken fettuccini, etc. You could combine this with a talent show, choir performance, or play depending on the year.
- Look for opportunities to WORK and SELL CONCESSIONS at local sports events or community events. (pro, amateur, college, prep) and have our earnings donated back to the church. Its amazing what a well-placed popsicle stand at a local soccer tournament can raise!

Old House, New Job, Lost Boy
One of my first thoughts after moving into our house was, "I dread the day we have to move out of this house." As we piled more and more things into the house, I knew we would only accumulate more and more things and more and more children while we were there which I foresaw translating into a lot of extra things to pack up and a lot of extra dings in the walls to patch up.
Yup. We're moving! With my parents going on their mission, the stars kind of aligned for us to live in their house while they're gone. It's still a bit surreal to be preparing to leave a home and neighborhood we've grown to love, but we're making steps towards a big change.
What we anticipated as being quick touch ups on the walls and baseboards has evolved into a full blown home makeover. I took a paint can in to the store to be matched and the employee said, "Oh. They don't make that sheen anymore. I can match the color, but you'll still be able to see a difference if you're trying to just do touch ups. All you'll have to do is just paint the wall corner to corner."
That's it. Just paint the wall corner to corner. On every wall in our house.
Every night we've been chipping away at our house projects. I get so overwhelmed thinking of everything we have to do, so we've started just focusing on one room at a time and getting each room completely done before moving on to the next. We have basically repainted every inch of our basement and are now working our way upstairs. It's been a race every night to get the kids in bed, hurry and tape a room, paint, and then remove all evidence of paint and paint supplies so the kids don't start their own painting projects in the morning.
We took a night off our work for Jeff's birthday. We celebrated his birthday the day after the 19th by getting a babysitter and going to dinner and the temple.
Then we celebrated it again on Sunday at my grandma's birthday dinner.
To add to the mayhem of making over our house and preparing to move, I went and got a job! I've been trying to step away from the curtain business a little bit. It was becoming a bit overwhelming to have orders always hanging over my head and not having much control over how busy I would be with orders.
I don't always love this quality about me, but I just love to make money! I've started calling it my hobby. I just love to find ways to make a little extra cash, and I get a lot of satisfaction from helping the family at least a little bit financially. I looked into approximately 10,000 different work from home jobs over the past 3 months to see if I could find a new money making idea to try. There were a few different ideas I dabbled in. One was transcribing. I worked for mere pennies for about a month and found that I really enjoyed transcribing, but needed to find a more worthwhile employer.
By chance, I searched on KSL for a job one afternoon and found a work from home transcription position. With some hesitation, I applied. With even more hesitation, I went in for an interview, and with much surprise, I got the job!
I work every weekday for about 3 hours which hasn't been too hard to fit into the day since I was already used to spending at least that many hours on curtains a day. I've loved the change. I love that I put my time in and then I can be satisfied setting it aside for the day whereas curtains were constantly "hanging" over my head. I love having something productive to do in my free time, and I've really enjoyed transcribing in general. It's been a welcome change!
The only tricky part was the first week. I was still in training, so I had to have my calls in by 3:00. Problem was, I was teaching preschool that week! I had a 4-hour block of time to get my 3 hours of transcribing in. That was a stretch! And here's a good depiction of the trouble the kids got into once they realized they had 3 hours to rummage through whatever they wanted while I tried to squeeze my work in:
I'm done with training now, so I have a lot more flexibility with when I can get my work done -- a.k.a nap time so this little mister isn't tearing the house apart!
The one bummer about the job is I HAVE to do it every day. That's been tough on these beautiful days we've been having when I just want to be outside all day! Luckily I can usually work and be done by the time Eli's home from school so we can all enjoy raking leaves in the Spring together.
Eli raked up a big pile of leaves, boxed them up, and declared he was going to make "leaf lights" with them. Since our Christmas lights are now down, he thought it would be appropriate to welcome spring by stringing leaves along the house attached to lights. Somehow the box disappeared and was never mentioned again before this plan transpired into more than just an idea.
Eli brought this picture home from school the other day. I think it's my favorite picture of him ever. My brother always says Eli has an "emoji face," and this perfectly depicts that:
Eli's been really into his stuffed animal friends lately. They often join us for dinner. Complete with bibs and silverware.
The boys found my Instagram books one morning. I loved hearing them reminisce about the things we've done. It's interesting to see what they remember and which memories are their favorites.
Here's Lincoln being a big cheese. He's been a stinker lately and hasn't wanted to nap. I decided to transition him down to one nap a day and it's been rough for both of us! He's been really clingy and whiny trying to grow accustom to his new schedule which means lots of time plopped on my lap, taking selfies for entertainment.
He is consistently sleeping through the night now so that's something to smile about!
A welcome break from fixing up the house and working was when we went down to Leslie's house for an afternoon. My kids were in heaven and only emerged for food the whole time we were there.
Once we did have everyone in view for a moment, we took the opportunity to snap a *few hundred* quick selfies. In the meantime, unbeknownst to me, Carson disappeared.
As I was walking, I saw all the open garages and feared Carson could have wandered into the wrong house, thinking it was Leslie's. I looked in Leslie's garage as Kenz said, "Did you check the car?" "Yes! I already did." I replied. Kenz looked anyway. She opened the back and Carson was sitting in the very back of the car. Just guiltily, quietly sitting there.
I thought he had an accident and that's why he was hiding and making no effort to be found despite our screams for him. He didn't have an accident. He was just there with the most guilty look on his face that I've ever seen from him. It was so strange.
I told this to Jeff and apparently this is common? He told me that sometimes when kids go missing they think they're in trouble so they continue to hide because they hear everyone yelling their name and it sounds a lot like how it sounds when they're in trouble. So they just quietly sit, stay and keep hiding. It was weird to see it happen because it was so not what I expected. I figured if he heard everyone calling for him, he would come out, but he didn't at all. Anyway, here's my PSA to go over with your kids what to do if they're ever lost or hiding and hear people calling their name. And here's my gratitude to Kenz for checking the very back of the car so the police did not have to get involved in our rescue mission.

Kid Creations
I have been so pleasantly surprised recently with the boys' newfound interest in coloring/writing and drawing. I love seeing the things they come up with. One afternoon, the boys found I had just bought some new crayons and markers. They decided to do "teamwork" pictures together where they both worked on the same paper to make a picture. Carson frequently shoved Eli out of the way to get to the markers, but they were on such a buzz from the new writing utensils that no one shrieked a complaint the whole time.
It's been fun to see Eli learn how to read and write. I loved his spelling of Utah on one of his homework assignments:
Best toy I've ever bought was these pearler beads. The boys are still going strong with them!
One morning Eli was frantically scribbling a letter to his imaginary robot friend Thundercrush. He had Jeff put it in an envelope and then Eli wrote instructions on the envelope so the mailman could find Thundercrush.
100-2 - address
SaDRrash- Thundercrush
"Look for the yellow robot."
"He can be anywhere."
"He is at a battle."
Carson has impressed me with his interest in the alphabet! He sees Eli working on his homework, spelling and reading, so Carson wants to be doing all that stuff too. He knows all his letters, all their sounds, and he's starting to recognize what letters words start with.
One week he worked really hard at mastering writing his name. I thought it was so funny when I went to see how he was doing and found he had written his whole name right -- but completely backwards.
I love Carson's artwork. It's a little bit Tim Burton-ish. He has his own style that I find completely endearing. This picture is from a while ago. It's a picture of Christmas morning. The person on the right is surprised to see a present and the person on the left got a big pile of coal. With hot lava underneath them. Obviously.
Eli drew this one. It's Eli, Carson and Lincoln waiting at the top of the stairs on Christmas morning.

Snippets of Sundays
I have always hated 1:00 church. By far my least favorite of the three options. Until this year! I have been loving the lazy mornings. I've been loving that it's practically bed time when we get home, and I've been loving that we don't currently have any nap schedules that severely interfere with the afternoon worshipping. It's been heavenly.
Jeff's been enjoying his Sunday morning Lego time. One Sunday I had all three boys in the bath tub. As I was getting Lincoln out, I heard a clatter of Legos across the hall. I looked in to find Jeff sitting all alone in the boys' room meticulously crafting with Legos.

Eli has recently developed a new friendship. With a stuffed animal. He's never been big on stuffed animals, but one Sunday he grew attached to "Nighty" and insisted we bring him to church with us. Eli dressed him up in tie and shoes and lectured Nighty on the importance of being reverent during church the whole way there.
Eli was pretty good with Nighty at church...initially. Halfway through the meeting, "Nighty" started jumping around and making distracting noises. I leaned over to Eli and said, "Eli. You need to be reverent or I'm going to take Nighty away."
Eli innocently looked over at me and replied, "It's not me! It's Nighty! I think I need to take him out in the hall."
Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky. Nice try, little mister.
The other little mister has also pulled a few antics at church recently. He's in this phase where he loves to BOLT -- suddenly, unexpectedly and with great speed. He's funny because he gains your trust. You are sitting on the edge of the bench as Carson tries to scooch by you and he makes you think, "Yeah. He's old enough to sit on the end of the bench. He won't run away. He knows better than that. He's never run out of the bench and through the aisles of the chapel, straight to the bench where the boys prepare the sacrament to use as a trampoline before. Surely that's not what he's trying to do."
You offer your son a moment of trust. A moment of freedom to experience life on the end of the bench. A moment you would soon regret.
Because he'll plop his little bum on the bench. Look at you. Smile a closed mouth smile with eyes squinted, head cocked, just the thing he knows will reassure you he'll be responsible with the new seating arrangement. He'll wait for you to turn your head. And then he'll BOLT! ZAP! GONE!
Scurrying up to climb onto the bench -- in front of everyone -- where they prepare the sacrament. And you guessed it -- jump on that bench like it's a trampoline for 30 solid seconds.
The thing about Carson is, if you chase him, he runs. If you ignore him, he returns. He loves a reaction so if you don't react, he will quickly come back to seek the reaction he needs. People turned around to look at me like, "Ummm. What are you going to do about that?" While I sat still, arms folded and head bowed. Partly because I was trying to make a point to Carson that I was not going to react to his antics and partly because I was trying to avoid eye contact with everyone turned around and staring at me. And partly because I was saying a little prayer he would quickly give up his charade and return back to his rightful seat -- barricaded in the middle of the bench.
He returned. Thinking he was completely hilarious. Beaming with pride. Then he shimmied back into our bench. He plopped back in his place, and he acted like everything he just done was completely normal.
The boys are usually really good at church. Their teachers give them rave reviews. They always volunteer for prayers, scriptures and talks in sharing time. They sit quietly and really seem to take things away from their classes, but every once in a while they surprise us with a bout of mischief on the pews.

I've been addicted to my phone lately. Maybe not to the phone but to the apps I have on it. I am using some applications that are very helpful for me. So I thought why not to write about them if I love them so much. And maybe you will love them too, or you're already in love 😛
This is the app that helps you learn a language for free. If you are an English speaker there are plenty of languages for you there. If you are not an English speaker you can learn only English (mostly).
Anyway, you choose your goal of how many points you want to gain every day. You can choose from the easiest – 10 points to the hardest – 50 points. It can be changed later so that's a total advantage. In the app, you have to listen, write, talk and put words in the right order. With every mistake made, one out of five lifes is lost. Lifes can be gained by revising or just by waiting the right amount of time.
Plant Nanny
This is the app I love very much. You write down the main information about you and it calculates the right amount of water you should drink every day. Once you have it you choose the plant with the pot and with every drink you can water it. There are plenty of plants and each is so adorable that you want to have them all. Your plant is growing and when it reaches the full size you can move it to the garden. Every day it gives you seeds for which you can buy more plants. I already have three in the garden and one is growing.
The application is free however I paid to not have any ads in it. Also, it is by FourDesire and they have amazing apps.
This is the app for girls. It helps you to control your menstruation. The app is free and it has a lot of different parameters. Every day you fill how you feel mentally and physically. Also, you can add some notes, your sports activity, the length of your sleep, how much water you drink and your weight. There are some more parameters that you can add to your dash. The app analyzes the information and it reminds you of your coming period.
Every single app is made beautifully and I love how they look. They are pleasing to eyes. I recommend them a lot (:
Do you have any application that you find helpful?

This section is from the "The Ladies' Work-Table Book: Domestic Needlework in Nineteenth-Century America" book, by Margaret Vincent. Also available from Amazon: The Ladies' Work Table: Domestic Needlework in Nineteenth-Century America.
The stitch is very simple. You bring the wool forward, slip one, and knit two together.. This elegant cushion is made up of sixteen narrow rows, and sixteen broad stripes, which decrease gradually toward the centre. It may be made in double German wool, or other material, with No. 19 ivory or wooden pins. Cast on ninety stitches, and knit two turns; then in gold color three turns, and again two in black: this forms the narrow stripe. Then form the broad stripe thus: knit two stitches, and turn ; then knit two of the black, and turn; this must be continued, taking every time two additional stitches of the black, until you are within two stitches of the top, and then turn. You will now find the wool has descended to the wide part of the stripe. You then again commence a narrow stripe, and so go on, until the whole is completed. When the last wide stripe is finished, knit it to the first narrow stripe, and make up the biroche in any manner you please.
Cast on 240 stitches, on three pins; knit twelve rounds, and be sure you pearl every alternate stitch: in the succeeding round you must pearl the stitches which were left plain in the preceeding ones. Then take in eighty stitches, namely; one at every fourth, which will form a full border; then proceed to knit the cap thus: one row plain, the next open, then three plain, and twenty-four double knitting; again knit three rows plain, one open, repeat the three plain rows, again repeat the double knitting, and the plain and open rows as before; you next proceed to form the hinder part of the cap, by casting on twenty-four stitches at each end of the pins; knit forty-eight rows of double knitting, take in to the size of the crown, and knit three rows plain, one open, and repeat the three plain rows; then fasten off at top, unite the open space at the back, and repeat the plain and open rows as before. You form the crown, by casting on sixteen loops; then increase a loop at each end, for sixteen rows; then knit sixteen, and decrease as you increased, and thus the circle becomes regularly formed.
Use No. 18 needles, and double German wool; cast on fifty stitches, and knit eighty rows plain; roll up sixty, to form the front. Three inches of the cast off part are to be sewed together, and the rest is to be drawn up for the crown. Then cast on fifty stitches to form the foundation of the hood, and knit forty rows plain. Line with white silk, and trim with satin ribbon.
Work with two colors, in stripes. You cast on twenty-eight stitches, in blue, and knit one row plain ; then knit a plain row in white, adding one stitch at the end to form the heel, and turn ; then a similar row in blue, to increase and turn, repeat this without increasing, and changing the colors each time, until you have ten stripes. Then knit one row in blue, and turn, casting off seventeen stitches. You begin from the heel. The remaining thirteen stitches are knitted with white ; turn; knit a row with blue; turn: and so continue, until you have five rows o one color, and four of the other. The thirteen stitches are then to be done in blue, and seventeen to correspond, are to be added; turn : this side is finished like the other, decreasing from the heel. You then sew up the heel and toe, so as to form a shoe. You are then, with four needles, to pick up the stitches round the ancle and fore foot, putting an equal number upon each of the three needles, and knit five rows plain; make a stitch by bringing the wool forward, then slip one ; knit the next two, and pass the slip-stitch over them; again bring the wool forward, and repeat the process for one round: knit eighteen rows, five plain, four pearled; repeat and finish, bringing the wool forward, knitting two together; then knit two rows plain, and cast off. You must use No. 14 needles, and double German wool.
This can be applied to a variety of useful purposes. It is executed as follows. The number of stitches must be even, and of any depth you deem desirable. Begin, by making a stitch, laying the material over the needle; put it through two loops, and knit them as one; repeat to the end of the row; thus continue to knit as many rows as you please, and when the stripe is of sufficient length, fasten off, letting from four to ten stitches fall off the needle to unravel for the fringe.
On a moderate sized pin, cast on forty stitches; and in knitting, carry the wool twice round the pin for each stitch; The comforter is to be done in double knitting, and may be finished with a fringe and border at the end. Without the fringe, you will require a quarter of a pound of six-thread untwisted lamb's wool; for the fringe a little more will be required.
You are to cast on thirty stitches, and knit plain sixty-four ribs, knitting them backwards and forwards; then take twenty-two stitches from the middle of the side, and you will have twenty-one left one each end. Form a chest-piece, by knitting as before, twenty-two ribs, and fasten off: you have only to sew up the end, and it is done.

Tulum refers to two places: the 12th century Maya-Toltec ruins and the small town about 5 km away of the same name. Both the ruins and the town are not far south of the larger town of Playa del Carmen.
The town is small but growing, and there are a number of hotels and restaurants springing up, as more and more travelers decide to spend time at the ruins and get away from the big resorts of CancĂşn and Playa del Carmen.
One of Tulum's big attractions is the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, only a few kilometers away.
Other places nearby Tulum: Xpuhil And Around , Hopelchén, Escárcega, Isla Mujeres, Progreso, Playa del Carmen, Izamal, Campeche, Valladolid and Kabáh.

Cait's Column: Finally finding a rhythm
Select Quinnipiac men's ice hockey players in unnatural positions have slowly adjusted to their new roles in the 2017-18 season
"If you go back 15 years ago even, Rand had guys that played forward and D, so it's just a really big advantage to have on the bench when you're in a game and a defenseman gets hurt, or somebody goes down, you have a person to fill in there." – Quinnipiac associate head coach Joe Dumais
Not only has the perennial powerhouse failed to live up to its high expectations this season, but a few players that carried important roles in years past have changed positions at crucial points of their respective collegiate careers.
The Bobcats' roster has gone through a lot of change since the end of last season.
They graduated a pair of dependable centers (Tim Clifton and Tommy Schutt) after the 2016-17 campaign, took on two defensemen (Brandon Fortunato and John Furgele) following their respective transfer years this season and then lost two wingers (Thomas Aldworth and Logan Mick) right smack in the middle of the season as well.
Following the unaccustomed events, Quinnipiac's typical game-night lineup has a makeshift feel to it almost every night.
The major changes
As a result of the lack of depth at center this season, junior wingers Craig Martin and Scott Davidson have shifted to center for the bulk of the season.
Junior defenseman Luke Shiplo has been on the wing in 23 of the 27 games he's played in this season, and even freshman defenseman Joe O'Connor has seen his first collegiate action at forward as well, due to the logjam on the blue line and most recently the departure of two wingers.
"When you're on D you can see the ice, everything is in front of you. When you're on forward it's just a completely different game, you've got guys all over you," Shiplo said. "… For [O'Connor], he's just getting used to the systems still, so trying to learn both D and forward is tough, but it's good for him that he's able to do that [as a freshman]."
But for the wingers that moved to center, it isn't as easy if they were to switch the opposite way. Both of the provisional centers noted that playing down the middle comes with "more responsibility."
"You've got to be the first guy back down low, have to help the d-men out more and then faceoffs are a big part of it too," Davidson said.
It might not be a coincidence that each player — Martin, Davidson and Shiplo in this case — has produced at a lower offensive rate than their first two seasons combined.
In the 2017 portion of this season, Martin scored only seven points in 18 games after a 27-point season in 2016-17. Davidson had only six points in that same span and Shiplo had just four assists in 14 games.
While each of the three players had their individual struggles this season, it seems as though they're all starting to find their respective strides 32 games deep into the season, right when it counts.
"It was definitely a bit of an adjustment and a bit of a process taking faceoffs every shift and getting stronger in the d-zone," Martin said. "I feel like it's coming along… But it's been going a bit better lately I think."
The recent results
Shiplo scored his first of the season on Jan. 30, has only been a minus twice (-1 both times) in the following six games since and moved back to defense for injured senior defenseman Kevin McKernan this past weekend against Union and RPI.
Quinnipiac head coach Rand Pecknold called Davidson one of two "excellent" players after a tough loss against Union on Friday night and he, along with Martin, scored a goal in Quinnipiac's win over RPI on Saturday.
It's apparent that the process of accommodation took some time for the three, but the comfort levels at new positions are becoming more natural now and are helping the team's offensive efforts as a whole.
While the Bobcats have a 40.6 winning percentage (13-15-4) on the season, they have taken a step in the right direction by carrying a winning percentage of 50 percent (5-3-2) over their last 10 games.
And in its two most recent wins — in which Quinnipiac's top line was held off of the scoresheet — it's been the secondary scoring from the bottom-six players that has carried the team offensively.
"It feels great to score," Davidson said after Saturday's victory. "It doesn't come very often, but when it does it's awesome."
The three — and sometimes four when Joe O'Connor is in the lineup — hybrid skaters that make up the majority of the bottom-six will be a crucial part to Quinnipiac's success moving into ECAC Hockey playoff time.
Although it's been a difficult adjustment for the skaters that have played out of their natural positions up to this point of the season, their efforts are admirable amongst the team and their comfort levels are finally settling in.
"They've got to be willing to do it with no arguments and they're excited to go out there and play wherever it is," Quinnipiac associate head coach Bill Riga said.

Overview and analysis of digital technologies for construction safety management
Permanent Linkhttp://hdl.handle.net/10092/14583
Digital technologies are increasingly used to support safety management in the construction industry. Previous efforts were made to identify digital technologies for safety in the construction industry. However, limited research has been done to conceptualize the roles played by digital technologies in safety management and accident prevention. This paper surveys state-of-the-art research between 2000 and 2016 in order to categorize digital technologies for construction safety, identify research trend, and analyse their roles in accident prevention. The research employs a systematic process to review the existing literature on digital technologies in the area of construction safety. Five academic databases, Science Direct, Taylor & Francis, the ASCE Library, Engineering village, and Web of Science, were selected for the survey due to the comprehensive coverage of relevant academic papers. The survey identified 15 digital technologies: real-time location system and proximity warning, building information modelling, augmented reality, virtual reality, game technology, e-safetymanagement-system, case-based reasoning, rule-based reasoning, motion sensor, action/object recognition, laser scanning, physiological status monitoring, virtual prototyping, geographical information system, and ubiquitous sensor network. Three emerging safety functions claimed and/or promoted by DTs were discussed: enhanced safety planning, real-time hazard management, and safety knowledge engineering. It is concluded that DTs have great potential to improve safety performance by engineering resilience and adaptiveness at the individual level, while how DTs embody safety values and how safety values in turn influence the adoption of DTs remain an open question.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. Steel X, +1.08% was downgraded to reduce from neutral at UBS on the belief current valuation is not justified, as takeover speculation is likely overdone. The stock closed Thursday up 2.8% at $48.91, and has gained 20% in the last week and 34% since the end of October. "U.S. Steel is the world's seventh largest producer for 2004," said Analyst Timna Tanners. "We do not envision the larger companies are interested or financially comfortable with making this size acquisition currently." Tanners also believes fourth-quarter earnings will be weak. Meanwhile, Tanners upped the price target to $45 from $41.

A Prayer Before Going To Bed
March 17, 2012 by mimentovivere
Heavenly Father, before I lay down to rest tonight, I thank you for all the blessings you have sent my way and my family today.
Forgive me………
For all my blunders & pride
For the times this day I lacked compassion
When I lost my composure
Became overly critical and judgmental
And for my ingratitude and ungratefulness this day
Lord have mercy……..
Touch my body…
My mind
And my spirit with your love and grace*
This moment with you my is so precious…..
And peaceful………..
I give you all that I am.
The thoughts in my head
And the things deep in my heart
I give to You.
Purify them and sanctify them
That they may be holy for You are Holy.
Let your angels watch closely over me and my family in our sleep.
And if this be my last prayer before I lay down to rest
May your Grace & Mercy find me worthy to be with You in Paradise eternally….
With all my love,

WALLA WALLA, Wash. – Whitman College took a major step toward retaining the Northwest Conference regular season men's basketball title with a 110-98 win over visiting Whitworth on Tuesday night.
The third-ranked Blues (19-1 overall, 11-0 NWC) moved three games ahead of the 10th-ranked Pirates (16-4, 8-3) in the league standings with five games to play.
Whitworth took an early 6-2 lead after a three-pointer by Jordan Lester two minutes into the game. Whitman responded with a 14-2 run to grab a 16-8 lead and the Blues never trailed again. The Pirates got back within 23-22 on Ben College's three-pointer with 10:55 left in the first before another Whitman spurt led to the Blues' first double-digit lead of the game (34-24). Joey Hewitt's layup extended the advantage to 46-31 and Whitman led 50-36 at halftime.
Darne Duckett's three-pointer eight minutes into the second half gave the Blues a 74-54 lead, their largest of the game. Isaiah Hernandez and Kyle Roach answered with back-to-back three-pointers to show the Pirates still had some life, cutting the deficit to 74-60. However, Trevor Osborne's three with 8:24 to go reinstated an 84-64 lead for Whitman.
Trailing 93-77 with 5:21 to play, Whitman made one final run. The Bucs got within 93-82 on another College three and then Roach drove for a basket that cut the margin to 96-88 before he was fouled with a chance for a three-point play. The free throw did not go in and Whitman scored six straight points, three on free throws by Jack Stewart and a Joey Hewitt three ball, for a 102-88 lead.
After shooting only 44.8% in the first half, Whitworth made 69% (24-35) from the field after halftime. However, the Pirates were never able to slow down Whitman. The Blues made better than 54% in each half and finished 26-30 (86.7%) from the free throw line.
Whitworth also suffered from 20 turnovers against Whitman's pressing defense.
College scored 24 points to lead the Pirates. Roach finished with 17 and Hernandez had 15 points off the bench. Lester totaled 13 and Ben Bishop had 11 for five players in double figures. Jared Christy's eight rebounds was a game-high total.
Butler and Hewitt scored 24 points apiece for Whitman. Stewart added 19 and Duckett scored 15. Butler added six assists, three blocks and a steal.
Whitworth will look to snap its first two-game since February of 2013 when the Pirates host Lewis & Clark College on Saturday at 6:00 pm.

Oct 29, 2019 — Two-year-old Private Duty Home Care Agency for sale in Atlanta, GA. Part of nationally known, top-rated franchise brand. The company offers affordable services for seniors and their families who require assistance with meal preparation, medication reminders, bathing or personal cares, grocery shopping, light housekeeping, errands, Alzheimer's care, or companionship in order to remain happily & safely in their homes. The business office is fully staffed with a Receptionist/Scheduler/Recruiter, Assessment Nurse and a Bookkeeper.
The franchise model provides the ability for owners to pursue additional revenue streams in the areas of Placements as well as Skilled Home Health services, if they so choose.
Throughout its 2-year operation, the Company has become the industry leader in the local senior care community. Its excellent reputation in serving clients and with its employees, has earned this company solid relationships with professionals in the health care and senior communities. Majority of revenues (@ 80%) come from Private Pay, @ 20% from Long Term Care Insurance and other payors.
The franchise territory has tens of thousands of seniors (over 65), which is larger than a typical franchise office territory when compared to an average-sized competitor's home care franchise. This business provides services to one of the most demographically attractive senior care markets in the Country.
The service market includes a number of large hospitals, senior centers, assisted living communities, nursing homes, memory care and skilled nursing facilities. The Business has established National referral sources, a database of over 300 local referral sources, and 15+ hired and trained Caregivers on payroll. This business requires no prior home care/medical experience. Training, guidance & ongoing support will be provided by the Franchisor & the seller is willing to negotiate transition & ongoing training, as well as a Consultant role after the sale.
The Company competes with other national and local businesses and sole proprietors providing home care services. Disabled adults and seniors who are 65 years and older comprise the primary market for the Company, as well as a smaller portion of younger adults with some form of disability or illness requiring assistance with daily living.
The home-care industry has exploded with the aging population. Today, with 10,000 Americans turning 65 every day, the demand for senior care is ever increasing. The US senior population currently sits at approximately 50 million and by 2030, it is expected to swell to 81 million (Source: US Census Bureau). An estimated 70 percent of people over 65 will require home-care services at some point in their lives.
The seller is selling for personal reasons but will assist during a transitional period. The Caregivers and staff, all of which are W2 employees, are available to work with a new owner.

Thanks dear Tilla – for your wonderful hosting of us, and the cook's most stupendous delicoctions. All – and the Tiramisu – of the order of Divine!
Missed you Lana and hope you're mending fast, and life is flowing smooth.
Thanks to all for another great and liberating evening, stimulating, fun. Just a comment – it occurred to me that Jacqui and I were the ones not comfortable with violence, not really wanting to engage there – perhaps because we have both, Jacqui in very traumatic times, experienced living through wartime, . It is the experience which teaches and permits or doesn't. If you've ever attended the ritual of military funerals ( more aestheticisation of violence?) you will never erase the horror of needless sacrifice from your deep Self.
See you all at Jacqui's on the 18th June ( think that's the right date)
Ciao – Marguerite
