A true man's character is found When Everything is not going his way. Often we tend to misunderstand that failure is a way that how this world operate to depress you.
But it's not the fact that Failure is a way to get an end to your journey, it simply means that someone somewhere is working so hard than you.
In his commencement speech Charlie day stresses on how failure can be used to grow your future.
Day's speech was both humorous and insightful, with personal stories about moving to New York City, turning down jobs to create something of his own, and finally, coming to speak at Merrimack commencement. As he tells graduates:
You can not let a fear of failure or a fear of comparison or a fear of judgement stop you from doing the things that will make you great. You can not succeed without the risk of failure. You can not have a voice without the risk of criticism. You can not love without the risk of loss. You must take these risks.

I first picked up a tube of Nuun Sport tablets at the expo for the Akron Marathon. Boy, do I enjoy a good race expo. You can see what's new in the world of running and choose from a variety of products. Lots of gadgets and accessories galore. There's also lots of energy gels and electrolyte options. I bought a tube of Nuun tablets from one of the exhibitors, along with some other goodies.
Nuun tablets are meant to be dissolved in your water bottle. They're similar to Alka Seltzer in that you drop a tablet into water and it fizzes until eventually the tablet dissolves.
It can take a while for the tablet to completely dissolve. I find myself sometimes shaking the bottle, trying to hurry up the whole process. Come on, I want to drink this now! I suppose this means I should do a better job of planning how to use Nuun for replenishing electrolytes.
Nuun Sport
What do I like about Nuun? I like that it's fairly light. The flavors aren't overpowering. It also doesn't have a lot of sugar or sugar replacements in it. The Nuun website says that they were the first to separate electrolyte from carbohydrate replenishment. Therefore, all of the sugars that are in Gatorade or PowerAde aren't part of Nuun.
I also like the fact that the tablets are scored so they can be cut in half. That way you can slide the tablet into a small opening or only use half a tablet.
Nuun comes in a small tube with a screw on lid. That makes it easily transportable and it can fit in a pocket or running belt. I did throw one into my purse and the lid eventually worked its way off and I had to rummage around to find the tablets and then throw them away. I do not want to eat anything that's been bouncing around inside my purse.
Apparently, this product is a success because their list of flavors continue to grow. Some of the flavors they currently sell are:
- Cherry Limeade
- Citrus Fruit
- Fresh Lime
- Fruit Punch
- Grape
- Lemon Lime
- Mango Orange
- Orange
- Strawberry Lemonade
- Tri-Berry
- Tropical
- Watermelon
- Wild Berry
Each electrolyte tablet contains the following: sodium (360 mg), potassium (100 mg), magnesium (25 mg), calcium (13 mg), vitamin c (38 mg) and sugar (1g).
Serving Size: 1 tablet in 16 oz. of water
Potassium: 150 milligrams
Sodium: 300 milligrams
Calories Per Serving: 15
Notice that some of the flavors have caffeine in them.
You can check the website for ways to buy Nuun. I noticed that it's available around me at running stores and grocery stores, including Walmart. So, they shouldn't be too hard to locate. Plus, you can order them directly from the Nuun website: www.nuunlife.com.
I like Nuun Sport. The flavors that I've tried are light and refreshing. They don't have that cloying taste of the sweeter drinks. Also, I like that it doesn't have a lot of sugar or carbs. That way I can separate my need to replenish electrolytes and to refuel with carbs.
I do like the tube that they come in, even if it did fall apart in my purse. Lesson learned, don't carry it around for weeks without using it.
There's so many flavors that I'm going to have to try a new one.
Do you use Nuun Sport? What do you think? Let me know by commenting here or on our Facebook page. You can email me at email@example.com.

The energy sector is facing rapid change and growth. With the decentralization of energy, electric cooperatives (co-ops) are becoming essential to providing
consumers with options for diverse and renewable energy sources – particularly in isolated or rural areas, as well as competitive pricing and access to a local and more secure energy supply.
To ensure that co-ops can continue to meet their resource needs in the
future, it's essential that they remain agile and able to identify and respond
to customer needs – since customers are also members.
We knew it was essential that their people and processes were aligned internally first in order to successfully anticipate customer / member demands and remain
proactive in the industry. Yet, when we began our assessment, we found an aging workforce and outdated job descriptions that could make succession planning challenging. Many of the daily HR processes were paper-based, inefficient and required a significant amount of time. The company wanted to review the current organizational structure to ensure they were able to meet their future projects and goals.
Solutions & Approach
We began our assessment of the department by reviewing the current processes and technology and recommending ways to modernize both. We used a four-phased approach: data review, interview planning and execution, analysis and findings, and presenting recommendations.
In addition, we suggested a new organizational structure to better accommodate current and future business needs and key metrics to measure staff performance – along with suggestions on how to grow and develop existing staff.
Results & Lessons Learned
Success starts with partnership and trust. When we first came onsite, our client was upfront and honest when we asked for their feedback on how to improve
performance and processes. They knew something needed to change – they just needed help to make it happen. And today, the administrative services department
has a plan in place to modernize their technology systems starting in 2021 and has a plan to review performance management processes.
At Collective Insights, we're committed to delivering lasting value to our clients. Our approach is comprehensive and customized and we provide more than just a roadmap – we help you get there.
Our client is an electric and natural gas utility who serves more than 90,000 customers. They asked us to assess their human resources department and provide actionable recommendations on staff alignment and size and process improvements that would improve day-today operations.
Our four-phased approach consisted of the following:
• Phase 1: We kicked-off the project with stakeholders and reviewed existing documentation such as job descriptions, organizational charts
and employee handbooks and set up regular status meetings.
• Phase 2: We created interview guides, scheduled interviews and conducted both executive-level interviews and staff interviews. For each interview, detailed notes were gathered.
• Phase 3: The team analyzed the collected data and drafted our initial findings and recommendations.
• Phase 4: We presented our recommendations and worked with the executive leadership team to prioritize actions.

Even with no gas tax increase, the American Automobile Association forecasts the national gas price average could be as much as $2.70 a gallon this spring. Americans have not paid that much for gas since summer 2015, when prices hit $2.81. Already, they are paying a quarter more than at the same time last year.
"There is tremendous volatility in the oil and gasoline market," said AAA spokeswomen Jeanette Casselano. "This spring, consumers may have to make decisions on where they can cut costs to cover gas prices that are potentially 40 cents more per gallon than last spring.
A new AAA survey found that the vast majority of consumers would change their driving habits or lifestyle to offset higher gas prices. One in four consumers say they would start making changes at $2.75, while 40 percent say $3.00 is their tipping point. Nearly three-quarters of respondents say they would drive less, and nearly half say they would drive more fuel-efficient vehicles.
"Motorists will start to see gas prices make their spring spike in early April," said Casselano. "That is when refinery maintenance is expected to be wrapped up and the switchover to more expensive summer-blend gasoline kicks in, along with warmer weather and typical demand increases.
"Consumers can expect prices to increase throughout April, May and into the start of summer."Download Bulletin PDF

The go-to Thai restaurant near LAX, Ayara Thai, is opening a spinoff pop-up restaurant, Ayara Lūk, this Saturday, January 7. "Lūk," or child in Thai, is an appropriate name for the concept, as the menu will reflect the chefs' experiences as first generation Thai-Americans. That means some signature dishes from the parent restaurant alongside contemporary takes on classic Thai fare like roasted duck flatbread with spicy hoisin, massamun oxtail curry, whole roasted branzino with Thai chili lime sauce, and khao soi with braised chicken.
It's a smart move for the restaurateurs, as Ayara Lūk will open as Ayara Thai closes down for an anticipated four month renovation and expansion that is scheduled to begin in February 2017. As soon as Ayara Thai is back in business, Lūk will end its brief pop-up stint.
Ayara Lūk will be open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

A U.S. financial watchdog has extended a program that will monitor cryptocurrency-related activities among brokers in the country.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), a self-regulatory organization (SRO) for broker-dealers in the U.S., said in a regulatory notice on Thursday, that it will continue an initiative it took on last year, in which it requested member firms to share information such as whether they trade or intend to trade cryptocurrencies, among other activities.
Now the authority has extended the timeframe for another one year i.e. July 31, 2020, per the notice.
"As securities regulators continue to provide guidance to members regarding the unique regulatory challenges presented by digital assets—e.g., Joint Statement on Broker-Dealer Custody of Digital Asset Securities—FINRA believes it is important to keep the lines of communication with members open on this important topic," the notice reads.
Member firms, therefore, are "encouraged" to keep sharing whether they are involved in the mining of cryptocurrencies, accept cryptocurrencies from their customers, engaged in derivatives tied to digital assets and whether they participated in an ICO or pre-ICO, among other activities.
Those firms who engage in digital assets, whether or not they are securities, will have to follow all applicable FINRA rules and federal and state laws and regulations, the authority said.
Earlier this month, FINRA and the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a joint statement, saying that there are several concerns to be addressed before they could give the green light to cryptocurrency firms who want to operate as broker-dealers.
Industry experts told The Block at the time that firms will have to figure out how to solve to address those issues, such as accounting for and guarding against the loss or hacking of digital securities.
Between 35 and 40 firms have reportedly applied to become brokerages, but none has received approval yet.

Surprising Habits You Didn't Know Can Cause Varicose Veins, Part 2
Varicose veins can be unsightly and painful. For some people, they are a cosmetic problem, while for others, they are a sign of a serious medical issue. In both cases, they shouldn't be ignored. With swimsuit season around the corner, many people seek the most effective varicose vein removal in Beverly Hills.
Did you know that there are some daily habits that can cause your varicose veins to crop up? Find out what you should avoid and keep your risk for varicose veins at the minimum.
Not building and maintaining muscle in your legs
To keep your legs healthy, you need to maintain a good muscle mass in the legs. By increasing muscle tone and strength in your legs, you will stimulate healthy blood circulation and minimize vein disease.
If you haven't been working out lately, it's time to step up your fitness game. If you lose leg muscle mass, gaps in the muscle can open up, allowing veins to dilate. This can lead to the appearance of varicose or spider veins. To remove them, you will have to seek varicose vein treatment.
Choose a routine that will help your body moving without putting too much strain on your legs. Even something as simple as walking can be beneficial for your blood circulation.
Swimming is also a great way to improve circulation in the legs. This activity decreases the effect of gravity on the veins of your lower body, relieving the pressure on the vessels, while the pressure of the water helps build muscle and improves strength.
High-impact exercises
While regular exercise and staying in shape helps prevent varicose veins, you should avoid high-impact exercises like running, as well as lifting heavy weights. These fitness routines can put too much strain on the legs, aggravate and worsen venous pressure, volume and swelling. Over time, this can cause vein problems that require varicose vein treatment.
On the other hand, low-impact workouts such as swimming, biking, and walking are ideal for those with varicose veins and recommended for people at risk of developing them.
An extra salty diet
Even certain types of food can increase the risk for varicose veins. Avoid putting extra salt on your food. An excess amount of sodium or deficient potassium consumption will cause your body to retain water.
This will temporarily increase the volume of blood circulating in your body and put additional pressure on your veins, as well as their valves. However, a low potassium or high salt diet will lead to constant water retention and increase your chances of developing varicose veins.
Sitting in a certain way at work
As you could have read in our previous article, sitting or standing for a long time won't do your legs any favors. It makes it more difficult for the blood to travel from the legs toward the heart and fight against gravity.
If your job involves prolonged sitting, you should also pay attention to how you sit. Some positions such as sitting with your legs crossed may enhance leg pain and swelling. You should put your feet flat on the ground and occasionally break the cycle by elevating your legs to prevent varicose veins. Short walks and periodic shifts in position may be helpful.
The same goes for staying stationary for long periods of time. It's best to have a mix of sitting and standing during the day. Move every once in a while and if possible, try peddling your feet and stretching your ankles to get the blood flowing.

Exchange rate, interest rate and commodity price trends
The global economy lost a little of its momentum in 2016. Energy and commodity prices recovered as the reporting period went on, albeit at a relatively low level. Confidence in the economic stability of crisis-hit emerging markets partially returned and led to a gradual appreciation of the currencies of these countries. The euro lost ground slightly against the US dollar, but gained ground slightly against the Chinese renminbi. In the wake of the United Kingdom's Brexit referendum in June 2016, the sterling slumped against the European single currency. The Russian ruble and the Brazilian real turned around their preceding downtrend at the beginning of the reporting period and have since recorded significant price gains. For 2017, we are forecasting that the euro will gain some strength against the US dollar, Chinese renminbi, sterling and other key currencies. The expectation is that the Russian ruble and Brazilian real will remain relatively weak. We currently assume that these trends will continue in the period 2018 to 2021. There is still a general event risk – defined as the risk arising from unforeseen market developments.
Interest rates remained extremely low in fiscal year 2016 due to the continuation of expansionary monetary policy and the challenging overall economic environment. In the major Western industrialized nations, key interest rates persisted at a historic low level. While it became apparent in the USA that the extremely loose monetary policy was gradually drawing to an end, the European Central Bank continued to pursue this course. In light of further expansionary monetary policy measures in the eurozone, we therefore consider it unlikely that interest rates will rise in 2017. In the USA, however, we can expect to see a moderate increase in interest rates. For the period 2018 to 2021, we anticipate a successive rise in interest rates, though the pace will vary from region to region.
Political and economic uncertainty in different forms caused the prices for many raw and input materials, such as crude oil, steel and rare earths, to move sideways or upwards in 2016 amid high volatility in some cases. In light of these individual factors, we expect mixed developments in the commodity markets in 2017 with an increase in most commodity prices. We believe that this trend will continue in the period 2018 to 2021. Forward-looking, system-based and individual procurement methods enable us to mitigate risks arising from this volatility in commodity prices. Long-term supply agreements ensure that the Group's needs are satisfied and thus ensure a high degree of supply reliability.

Hello! I live in Cleveland, Ohio and we are currently shutdown. As much as I always say "I'd love to work from home", I am not too sure how I am actually going to like this. I teach Kindergarten and I have twin nephews in Kindergarten so I am trying to post as many ideas as possible! Today I am sharing 'leprechaun traps'. I have made these in the past in my classroom. I am not a huge fan of Saint Patrick's day, but I love those fun activities you get to do with the kids. If your kids are home during the day OR if you are looking for activities for your kids to do in the evening, you should read How to Trap a Leprechaun. Click here for the link to the book on YouTube.
You could go to the Dollar Tree or if you are staying in just use items around the house.
Here are a couple of traps that I found on Instagram. I love these!

User Manual
Frequently Asked Questions
Introduction to Camur II
The purpose of the Camur II system is to provide permanent and automatic monitoring of potentially corroding steel in concrete.
The system i
s based on required components for data retrieval, nodes and sensors for measurements of corrosion state and ICCP (cathodic protection) products.
To collect all data from the different sensors, the system is using Bus cable. This runs thru every node and is lead to a control cabinet with a Bus Interface and a Controller mounted.
Different sensors measures different potentials and transmits analouge signals to the nodes witch transforms them to digital -all galvanically separated to keep measurement data as accurate as possible.
Advantages with Camur II
digital signal transfer protects the integrity of measured signals and is immune to electromagnetic noise
with the use of bus cable there will be a reduction of cable use contrary a centralized
monitoring system
the node provides a galvanic separation between the analogue
and digital side
every node and sensor gets an ID and can be given a certain name
every node has its own microprocessor
Camur II is scalable, all from small systems with few and simple measurements to advanced - Camur II is adaptable to fit demanding requirements to the exact
Where to install Camur II
New builds where sensors are
casted in fresh concrete.
When external conditions are hard on a specific building component/structure and you need to monitor the development.
Where there has been signs of corrosion and repair works are being done to maintain the structures strength. Where Cathodic protection system is installed.
Various installations needs different kinds of sensors in different conditioning, consequently there can be several types of Camur II products in one installation.
Nodes with quick connectors are mainly used for indoors installations and mounting in cabinets. While nodes for casting or embedding is designed in IP classified boxes (see datasheets for information regarding our range of nodes)
Hardware of the Camur II system
Some nodes are general and work together with a variety of sensors,
while other nodes does advanced measurements for specific sensors.
For example P-nodes measures
potential between a reference electrode, like ERE-20 and the rebar.
LPR-node is designed to perform LPR measurements when connected to rebar, reference electrode and counter electrode.
Some nodes are developed for added functionality, like the W-link (transmits bus signals wireless), Alarm (triggers alarms). Some is for increased capacity of the system, like the Bus Repeater (repeats the signals extending the number of nodes on one bus) and Bus Protector (protecting the signal from interference).
Camur II Cathodic Protection
If ICCP (impressed current cathodic protection) is
used the FixVolt series of power supplies will give power to the anode side. Ranging up to 8 Ampere one FixVolt will cover a certain area, several connected will cover whole
like bridges and facades.
Bus cable
The bus cable connects all nodes and there must only be one bus cable running thru the whole installation. The bus requires power, supplied with the Bus Interface to transmit signals between the nodes and the Controller. The bus cable should be designed to pass the measurement points (nodes) in the shortest way.
Camur II Controller
The Controller is the supervisor of the Camur II installation and
one of the required components you cannot do without
. It is responsible for configuration of all settings, like alarm triggering and Power Output from FixVolts. The Controller monitors and stores all important events on the installation with the software programs
Camur II Server and Camur II
running on it.
Camur II components
(hardware and software)
For monitoring
one Controller
one Bus Interface
one (or several) Camur II nodes
Bus cable running thru all nodes
For remote monitoring
Modem, GSM module or internet mounted in connection with the Controller (
in a cabinet)
Project Manager software installed on the remote side
Web Console software program for visual and report purpose
For ICCP - cathodic protection
FixVolt power supplies (0,1A, 1A, 3A and 8A)
Anode (Zebra conductive paint, Titanium anodes)
Reference electrodes
Cathodic Protection cables
Camur II software
The Camur II system consists of different software programs dependent on your need and wishes for functionality of your installation. Camur II Server and Camur II Montitor is programs installed on the Controller, and you need them from the start. If you would like to be able to control the installation from the office or your personal computer the license based programs Camur II Project Manager will let you do so.
Camur II Server
Camur II Server is a core software already
on the Controller when you bye it. It also needs to run on the computer you will use for remote monitoring and will automatically be installed when you bye Camur II Project Manager software for this purpose.
Camur II Monitor
Camur II Monitor is the program used to configure the Controller to do measurements, logging recordings and set decay. It is the program that lets you verify and "see" the installation. It is also required
for remote monitoring and will automatically be installed when you bye Camur II Project Manager software for this purpose.

MS-13 gang members are looking to target off-duty New York police officers in their homes, the New York Police Department has warned.
CBS New York reported that the NYPD put out an alert on Wednesday warning that the violent gang was looking to "hit" city police, particularly in certain areas, particularly on Long Island. "Members of MS-13 are looking to 'hit' NYPD police officers, specifically in the Brentwood/Central Islip area, as well as possibly Patchogue," the alert read.
The gang members are looking to carry out the attacks as a way to gain street credibility, the NYPD said. "These members are conducting reconnaissance of MOS [members of service] private residences," the NYPD alert read.
The warning stemmed from unsubstantiated threats, which law enforcement experts said the NYPD was right to take seriously.
"Whenever a law enforcement officer is being threatened, especially by an organization like MS-13, which we already know is uber violent and has killed numerous people throughout the country if not throughout the world, this has to be taken seriously," former FBI agent Manny Gomez told CBS.
"They are going above and beyond what any other gang does, and the scary part is that we already know that they legitimately carry out their threats and they are extremely violent," said Gomez.
Off-duty officers have been told to exercise extra vigilance when they are in and around their homes. They have been warned to take precautions and not let their guard down when they are off duty. The officers have also been told to break their daily routines, which will make them less vulnerable.
MS-13 has expanded its operations across New York's Queens, Nassau and Suffolk counties.They have been engaged in murder, drugs, child prostitution and racketeering.
The gang, known for its excessive use of violence, has its roots in Central America gang culture. It's influence has been growing in New York, bringing it into more frequent conflict with the NYPD, the New York Post reported.
Earlier this month, a rival gang member was shot and killed by the MS-13 members on a train platform in Queens. Abel Mosso, a suspected member of the rival 18th Street Gang, was shot in broad daylight in front of a number of witnesses.

The long-term ripple effects on Americans' health from the nation's focus on COVID-19 and strategies for eventually ending social distancing are among several under-covered stories that deserve attention.
For example, reporters looking for fresh angles could talk to local physicians about surgeries and regular health screenings — such as colonoscopies and cardiac stress tests — that aren't being performed for safety reasons or because resources have been diverted to fighting the pandemic. What will this mean for the nation's health care system in the long term?
"One of the best questions that … hasn't been asked by reporters, is what is that we aren't seeing, because of the focus on COVID-19?" Amesh Adalja, M.D., F.I.D.S.A., a Pittsburgh-based infectious disease, critical care and emergency medicine physician and senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, said during a March 27 AHCJ webcast on covering COVID-19. "How long can we keep our cardiology clinics closed before we see consequences … there is going to be a measurable increase in other diseases because of this."
Though many hospitals and physicians have delayed "elective" surgeries and other procedures, Adalja said the definition of "elective" doesn't mean that the procedures isn't still necessary for someone's health.
"When we talk about 'elective' procedures that doesn't mean a nose job," he said. "It means that you have some flexibility in scheduling. We are talking about biopsies and colonoscopies … and there is going to be a cost down the road" to a person's long-term health if they can't access these services.
Journalists also could be spending more time talking to health security experts about how the nation eventually can transition from the current level of social distancing guidelines to safely return to activities of normal daily life.
"We need a coherent strategy for how we can start moving away from social distancing, and journalists can play an important role" in facilitating that conversation, said Tara Kirk Sell, Ph.D., M.A., a senior scholar at the Center for Health Security who specializes in public policy and the health impacts of disasters and terrorism. "We need to start thinking about long-term planning … about how we will open our economy and schools."
Sell emphasized that she wasn't talking about meeting any near-term deadlines, but rather how journalists can report about strategies that may be effective in balancing the need for people to return to normal life and also protect vulnerable people from being exposed to the virus.
Adalja said strategies likely will rely on wide-spread availability of serological testing (blood tests detecting COVID-19 antibodies) and is not "a hard problem to solve … we have the capacity."
One roadmap that may gain traction, according to the Washington Post, is to reopen the economy in four phases, tailored to each state's circumstances. The stages are:
- Ensure that there is sufficient diagnostic testing capacity and critical-care beds to handle new patients;
- See sustained reduction in new cases;
- Implement a gradual easing of social distancing measures and open schools and businesses once treatments or a vaccine becomes available;
- Rebuild the public health system to deal with the next emergency.
To hear my conversation with Adalja and Sell, tune into the recorded webcast, which fielded questions from reporters ranging from these under-covered story ideas to the latest on what is known about the virus and the disease it causes.
Remember to regularly check our COVID-19 journalist resource page for the latest updates. And if you haven't already, follow my curated Twitter list of reputable coronavirus experts.

As Saskatchewan continues to lift restrictions, more and more employees are beginning to return to the workplace. With the new world we are operating in, it is important to continually stay up to date on health and safety. The workplace can play an essential part in supporting positive psychological health. Creating and maintaining a workplace that is psychologically healthy and safe makes good business sense – for employers and employees alike.
The National Standard of Canada on Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace provides the framework to help employers navigate the areas to reduce the risk of a psychological injury and improve overall health and safety in their workplaces. There are many reasons and factors to consider introducing psychological health and safety into your organization, besides managing costs and risks, a healthy and safe workplace is also foundational to an engaged workforce, which supports organizational performance excellence.
What is a psychologically healthy and safe workplace?
The National Standard defines a psychologically healthy and safe workplace as one that promotes workers' psychological well-being and actively works to prevent harm to workers' psychological health in negligent, reckless, or intentional ways.
As an employer, consider the following questions:
Is employee psychological health and safety a stated priority in our organizational policy statement?
Do people in our organization have a common understanding of a psychologically safe workplace?
Is our management team familiar with the legal and regulatory requirements and expectations related to workplace mental health and psychological safety?
Is there a system in place to measure the rates of both absenteeism and presenteeism (being unproductive while present at work) in our organization and what percentage of these may be related to psychological health and safety issues?
Is there a process in place to encourage frontline managers to provide a psychologically safe workplace through such measures as performance indicators and evaluation methods?
Does our organization have a policy on work-life balance?
The above questions are just a sample of the types of questions you should be asking yourself as an employer. Service Hospitality has many resources for an organization to begin the steps in integrating psychological health & safety into your safety management system. For a great introduction of the employer's responsibilities, start off with our feature video:

Writer: Al Ewing
Art: Lee Garbett
I am a huge fan of Al Ewing's writing on from his time on Mighty Avengers. I wanted to see how he does on a solo book so I checked out Loki and the man does not disappoint. Even when having to deal with (sigh) yet another cross over with Axis. Ewing seamlessly tells the tale. Loki The Gawd of Mischief has been inverted and is now a hero. He doesn't lie, doesn't cheat and has gone all nobel everything. We see Loki busting up some no name villains robbing a casino. Lee Garbet captures a good "Heroic" Loki as opposed to the sly/cunning/ "you know I got some shit up my sleeve" Loki we are so use to seeing in this series.
Loki tries to convince the rest of his squad to join up with the right side of things as well. They aren't here for that tho. As previed in Avengers we will be seeing the continuation of Loki dealing with the inverted Thor. We saw Loki go so far as to say that he is trying to help Thor because he loves him. Remember he can't lie so we are being lead to believe that through everything, all the bullshit Loki been on in his past that somewhere DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE(gathers breath)EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP down he does in fact love Thor. I'm really interested to see where Ewing goes with this in the coming issue.
The best part overall is that the older Loki, the one present Loki is fighting so hard not to become is watching all this and laughing his ass off with all caps on his "LOL(s)".

BUFFALO — An adjunct professor at a New York seminary was charged Wednesday with cyberstalking for allegedly threatening a television reporter over his coverage of misconduct allegations within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo.
Paul Lubienecki, 62, of Hamburg also is accused of harassing a priest and whistleblower interviewed by the reporter.
He was released on bond after making an initial appearance Wednesday in federal court, U.S. Attorney James Kennedy Jr. said.
Lubienecki did not return a telephone message seeking his response to allegations he made 11 anonymous phone calls to WKBW investigative reporter Charlie Specht since August, including one last week that contained a death threat.
The Feb. 4 call, which launched an FBI investigation, arrived hours after the diocese announced the closure of Christ the King Seminary, where Lubienecki taught.
"You must be so happy the seminary's closing. You're a bad person. I know where you live…I'm gonna find you. I'm gonna kill you," a voicemail said after Specht reported on the closure.
The station's parent company, the E.W. Scripps Co., arranged for the reporter, his wife and children to live under round-the-clock security away from their home during the investigation, WKBW said.
"We were shocked, surprised and scared," Specht said.
WKBW reported that Lubienecki also has left menacing messages for former diocesan employee Siobhan O'Connor and the Rev. Ryszard Biernat.
In court, Lubienecki asked for an attorney to be appointed. He is scheduled to return Feb. 21. The charge carries a maximum prison term of five years.
"Criticism of news reporting is acceptable and even welcomed," Specht said. "But making personal threats against a reporter for simply doing his job goes against the entire American belief in a free press."

Focus for property investors should be population growth
Ignore the politicians. The biggest impact on real estate won't lie in election pitches but policies that affect supply or demand.Richard Wakelin
It is fair to say that federal governments over the past decade have plumbed new depths of self-destructive shenanigans. Yet neither governing party nor any of the five prime ministers of this period have caused a rush for the property exits.
In 2004 houses were held by an owner for about seven years, according to CoreLogic. In 2014, this measure rose to 10.5 years. More recent data shows the annual turnover rate for property falling since 2014, so it is likely that average tenure has lengthened further still.
The elephant in the room for the government and Opposition is population policy.
Of course, all sides of politics will attest that this election will be the most important ever and property is being presented as a key battleground. But this election will only really matter for property if there are policies that materially affect supply or demand.
Labor offers some change to the status quo. On the demand side, Labor's negative gearing and capital gains plans have been thoroughly dissected. They will make life tougher for new investors in the established market, and I am concerned that excluding off-the-plan developments from negative gearing changes will divert some investors to an asset type that consistently delivers a poor return.
But there is another Labor policy that could mitigate this risk. A Labor government would encourage increased take-up of build-to-rent development by offering improved tax concessions to investors.
The off-the-plan sector is struggling, so the improved tax concessions may nudge some developers to lease apartments rather than sell them to owner occupiers and private investors. Or we may see the entry of experienced international build-to-rent operators that supplant the off-the-plan incumbents.
There are doubts whether Labor's build-to-rent plan offers enough incentives to overcome concerns that the rental yields will still be too low given the capital tied up and risks involved. From a societal point of view, it is also unclear whether the policy would increase the housing stock or just deliver a change to a more corporatised ownership structure.
Modest impact
Put together, the overall impact on the property market of Labor's policies is likely to be modest at worst, particularly given the negative gearing and capital gains tax grandfathering arrangements for incumbent investors.
However, the elephant in the room for the government and Opposition is population policy.
Here the news is unreservedly good because, surprisingly, there isn't really any news.
Despite years of political rhetoric about curtailing immigration and population growth, both parties are studiously avoiding anything that would do that.
In March, the government declared an annual permanent migration program ceiling reduction from 190,000 to 160,000. But rule changes over previous years had already lowered the number of visas to this level, so in effect, the government was signalling that no further tightening was planned. Labor has indicated it is comfortable with this level.
So the Budget papers' outlook for net overseas migration for the next four years sits at an annual increase of between 259,000 and 272,000 every year until 2022. These are numbers as good as or better than net overseas migration levels of the past decade.
The figures suggest that the government expects more migrants from outside of the permanent migrant program. That might include a jump in temporary visas and arrivals from New Zealand.
Because both main parties are indicating that they will largely leave population growth unchanged and therefore avoid a damaging demand shock, one can be confident this won't be a critical election for property – whatever else the politicians say in coming weeks.

Commission on Elections (Comelec) spokesperson James Jimenez recently called on schools not to invite political candidates in their graduation rites or commencement exercises.
According to Department of Education (DepEd) Undersecretary Nepomuceno Malaluan, the DepEd will consider Comelec's recommendation of prohibiting candidates in the 2019 midterm elections from speaking in graduation ceremonies during the campaign period. DepEd officials are set to discuss it in their executive meeting.
Under DepEd's existing guidelines, candidates are not prohibited to speak in graduation ceremonies, since these are not considered as a political activities. What the guidelines prohibit is turning the graduation rite into a political forum or platform, which constitutes electioneering. Electioneering are activities such as rallies, parades, making speeches or other similar assemblies for the purpose of directly or indirectly soliciting votes and undertaking a campaign for or against a candidate or party.
If ever DepEd were to issue an order to ban political candidates from graduation rites, it will only apply to public schools only and will not cover privately-run schools.
Do you agree that political candidates should not be invited as speakers in graduation ceremonies?

California Central Valley Farmers Won't Get Full Water Supply
Farmers on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley won't be receiving a full supply of water from the federal Central Valley Project despite the wet winter.
The US Bureau of Reclamation says those growers in the sprawling agricultural district will only receive 65 percent of their requested water.
It could increase based on snow melt later this spring. But the low amount is not what farmers were hoping for.
"That is far better than what we've seen in recent years but it still really speaks to how far out of whack our water infrastructure is and how it has not kept up with current times," says Danny Merkley with the California Farm Bureau Federation.
Merkley says the Central Valley Project wasn't designed to capture water from the flashier storms that California is experiencing.
He also blames what he calls inflexible rules to protect endangered fish.
The bureau says water from previous years is being stored in one of the project's major reservoirs, which is affecting this year's allocation. Last year, westide growers received just 5 percent of their requested water.
Cities and farms that are north of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta will receive all of their water supply. Cities south of the Delta that depend on the Central Valley Project will receive a 90 percent allocation.

In 1996, electric cars began to appear on roads all over California. They were quiet and fast, produced no exhaust and ran without gasoline. Ten years later, these futuristic cars were almost entirely gone. What happened? Why should we be haunted by the ghost of the electric car?

Astral projection or remote viewing is defined as "the ability to acquire accurate information about a distant or non-local place, person, or event without using your physical sense or any other obvious means" -Gaia.com. Most people astral project on their own for the first time without evening knowing it, this can also be referred to as a lucid dream.
Astral projection, self-initiated or intentional, is when the mind, body, soul reconnects with the astral plane. This shedding of the self places your consciousness into limitless potential, where the only barriers are self created. It is very important to prepare for a projection. When traveling the Astral plane remain grounded and guarded by light. I have multiple meditations to aid yourself in this aspect here.
There are a few different methods to achieve an astral projection, but first let I'll discuss two tips I have found useful.
De-calcifying the pineal gland. Click here to read my full article. A few quick tips are drinking water from a natural source, eating lots of fruit and veggies, and also using fluoride free toothpaste.
Exercising and stretching the body. It may seem unrelated at first, but once incorporated, a stretch or workout routine will bring benefits all throughout the waking and sleeping hours. You may reach rest quicker once in bed because the body is truly ready to sleep, it doesn't have any pent up energy. A relaxed body also allows energy to flow easier during rest. Picture a log hitting rocks and twigs down a river versus a leaf that will gently float with the current, gliding over or around anything it encounters. The body becomes the leaf when it's relaxed and loose.
When you are ready to perform an astral projection it is important to relax and be in a space where you wont be interrupted. Begin by picturing a rope above your body and use this rope to lift yourself. As you visualizes, you will begin to raise one arm at a time and slowly pull away from the physical body that lies on the bed. Keep climbing up the rope until you're fully out of your body. Imagine a portal opening up and a new space appearing in your minds eye. You're now Astral projecting and free to go wherever.

It only takes a second: My take on McCain child trafficking apology
It was in the news the other day, Cindy McCain (wife of deceased senator John McCain) apologizes for wrongly accusing a woman of child trafficking. She decided to say something because the woman's child was of a different ethnicity than her and they were traveling through the airport. She was wrong, and apologized for the distress she put the woman under.
Every nanosecond
I am conflicted. It is really difficult to make a 100% judgment in a split second. When we are talking about child trafficking—which is a very big, yet somewhat silent, problem—every nanosecond counts. Many factors come in to play—different race, behavior of the child, location of the event, etc. The woman was in the airport and while nothing was wrong, if McCain felt even the smallest inkling that something was off it was good she said something.
There are two ways this situation could have played out. There is the best case scenario where she said something and was wrong. She may have offended the woman but at least we know nothing was happening. Or, she could have not said anything out of fear of offending the woman and the child could have really been trafficked.
Better safe than sorry
Several years ago I made an observation an airport that I thought may have been child trafficking. I chose to be quiet about it out of fear of offending another. I still think about that child and regret that I did not say anything. What if it was a situation where the child needed my help? If I see the same today, I don't mind risking offending someone. If there is any chance that I could be helping to prevent a child from being trafficked then it is worth offending another.
Follow your gut in these situations. So what if you are wrong, at least you know. We need to be the eyes and ears out there. Too many times things happen because we turn a blind eye, because we are fearful of making mistakes.

I'm excited to have a little flash fiction piece—called "Where Sawgrass Meets Sky"—at Saw Palm's Florida narrative map project:
Hugging the road is a guard rail, like any other, and past that is an expanse of … grass? Is this swamp? I'm not sure I've ever seen swamp. I look closer, narrow my eyes: Rows of long grasses bordered by humps, mounds of dirt and earth. Is this a farm? I'm thinking about what I know of Florida, what they grow here besides oranges. These don't look like orange trees.
My piece takes place in Ft. Lauderdale, eating Sub Zero-brand ice cream. I absolutely adore Saw Palm, and I'm thrilled to be a part of this project.
