Using a combination of live teaching, community + powerful coaching techniques, Reset addresses the thought patterns + habits that keep you stuck in overwhelm + helps you build your custom, step-by-step journey to daily joy + calm.
Before Reset, I'd lost touch with who I was and the direction of my life, and of God's best for me. Alicia spoke so many truths over my life that helped me to get re-directed + back on track where I need to be. I'm so grateful for her and for this program!
You don't need just theory. You need to identify and address the underlying mindset issues that have kept you stuck.
By examining the four parts of self through 4 powerful lenses (which we call the 4Cs), we help you identify exactly where you're hurting + your next best steps to find ongoing healing.
We guide you to lasting change.
We give you the time and space to experiment with what works for you.
No need to change overnight. No perfectionism here. Instead, we teach you to slowly layer in gradual change so that self care become sustainable and do-able in every season.

The exercises Alicia gave brought so much insight and really helped me move forward.

We offer a full money back guarantee within the first 30 days if you find that the Reset Life Balance Group Coaching Intensive is not a good fit for you. We want you to join us with confidence!
Being coached in a group setting has been so helpful. I really appreciated hearing other's situations and was inspired on how they're handling them. It's nice to know that I'm not the only way that feels a certain way. So often just hearing these other women's perspectives allowed me to think, 'That's right! I feel like that too!' That's been huge for me, and a very powerful part of this program.
FAQs about the Reset Life Balance Group Coaching Intensive
When will this seven-month session of Reset take place?
This session of Reset will run from September 2020 to April 2021. If you do the math, you'll realize that September to March is an eight-month span. However, we take all of December off (no teaching or coaching calls) so that we can all enjoy time with our families. We are learning about life balance after all, so we practice what we preach!
How many women are in a typical group coaching session? How much time will I have with Alicia in each session?
Our entire group will be together for the live interactive teaching session once each month. However, group coaching (twice a month) is limited to 3 to 4 women in a session, with each women getting a 25-30 minute coaching session.
What if I can't make a specific teaching or coaching session?
Every session will be recorded. So if you can't make a teaching session live, you can go back and watch it.
Group coaching sessions, however, cannot be made up and must be attended live. But rest assured that you will have all of the dates for all of our sessions right from the start, so you can mark your calendar and block off those times, just like you do for the other important things in your life.
Also, we do our best to group ladies together from the same time zone and choose reasonable times that work best for those time zones.
I need to ask my husband before I join. How can I best explain this program to him so he gets it?
(from Alicia) First of all, I completely understand! I encourage you to speak to your spouse before committing to this investment.
I would encourage you to share how this program is not just an important investment in you, but in your entire family.
You can share something like this:
Joining Reset is important to me because... change needs to happen. I want to learn from someone who has been there, made radical change, helped others make radical change and who can approach things in a custom format for me. I need to do this in a community of women also committed to this, and with a trained coach who can help me see past those blinders that have kept me stuck here for so long. This is not only a worthwhile investment in me, but one in our relationship and in our family because I know I will show up healthier and able to be a better wife and mom as a result.
Hope that helps! That's how I'd share with my husband about it. :)
What if I live outside of the US? Are these in-person coaching sessions?
All of our teaching and group coaching sessions are done virtually via Zoom (a secure, easy-to-use video meeting platform), so you can live anywhere in the world and participate in Reset.
Is Reset Group Coaching for women only?
Yes, Reset Group Coaching is only open to women.
Do I have to be a Christian to join Reset?
No, you don't need to have any particular faith background to join the Reset Group Coaching Intensive. However, all coaching will be from a biblical worldview, prayer is included in many of the group coaching sessions, and we spend dedicated time together working on growing our daily relationship with Christ through Bible study and prayer. Reset participants must be comfortable with these group expectations.
Alicia shared some great techniques that really helped me to align my thoughts with God's, allowing me to trust more. I found the accountability of group coaching to be very beneficial for me + loved getting to know the other women!

Reset works because it utilizes 6 secrets to lasting change.
You need someone who can bring clarity to those "stuck areas." We'll use powerful coaching questions to help you notice deeper issues + make forward movement. Together we'll examine what has hindered your progress in the past, + identify the first steps to change.
You know you need to take better care of yourself, but you need tools to understand what needs to change + how make those changes a reality. In Reset, you'll learn four self care tools (we call them the 4 Cs) to keep your 4 parts of self healthy + nourished in every season.
We encourage you to notice (without shame or judgement) where you're at + we give you the space to try new ideas. We also give you permission to ditch those habits + mindsets that no longer serve you.
In Reset we continually ask, "How can we make this not only do-able but include ease and joy?" Brain-based research shows that lasting change is much more effective when it is easily repeatable and when we find ways to include pleasure and fun.
It's essential to have a supportive community that celebrates your progress in order to create the discipline for new habits + lasting change. Along with our regular meetings, we'll connect in our private Facebook group to discuss issues further + encourage each other.
Creating habits for a happier, more calm life doesn't happen overnight. Lasting change happens one layer at a time. In Reset, we dream big about where you want to go, and then create a reasonable, step-by-step approach to make it possible.
Without a doubt getting stuck in my own head is my biggest obstacle. I now have so many more tools in my toolbox that can help me change the thought patterns, find the calm, get focused, remove the clutter… it's just been a really beautiful process. And it's been a gradual change that has only taken a few months to happen.
Join us now for our next session of Reset!

I can't say enough good things about this program. If you're on the fence, jump in because I assure you that Alicia's going to jump right in with you. I'm so appreciative for the transformation she's allowed me to make in my life.

The other day, I got interested in purchasing my first true wireless earbuds.
You know that odd-looking wireless earphones that Apple revolutionized with the AirPods?
Yeah, that is what I am referring to. But given that this will be my first earbuds and I'm not even sure that I will like it, I just experimented by buying one which is affordable so that I wouldn't waste money if I didn't like it.
Anyway, I bought one from Aukey, the EP-T25 true wireless earbuds. I got these on sale for around 1,200 Pesos on Shopee.
The reason I picked this was because apart from being cheap, I liked its selling points.
First of all, it's IPX5 water-resistant so you can wear this while jogging or working out without worrying that your sweat will damage the earbuds.
Next is its 25-hour battery life.
25 hours? – you ask.
Well yes and no. So not exactly.
No because a single charge of the earbuds will last you for just about 5 hours. But yes because its carrying case acts as a power bank and packs up an additional 20 hours worth of charging power. That means, as soon as you return your earbuds into the case and put it in your pocket, it will automatically charge it to get the earbuds ready and powered up for your next use. So 20 + 5 hours is about 25 hours of cumulative use.
How about the sound?
Based from my experience using the product, I'd say that the bass and sound quality of it is good and crisp. But as an audiophile? I wanted more. But hey, given that this is only 1,200 Pesos, I wasn't expecting it to be at par with high-end brands. I think the sound quality is worth it given its price.
The other thing I liked about it is its touch and swipe functions. You can swipe the back surface of the earbuds to play the previous or next track, single tap to play/pause, double tap to answer a call and triple tap to activate Siri or other smartphone assistants. The volume control though has to be done on the connected device (so either your phone, laptop or some other gadget connected to it).
I also liked how the two earbuds auto-connect to each other upon removing it from the case. It can also be used for phone calls and Zoom calls. I also like how you can use a single earbud for calls freeing your other ear. I just wished that the microphone was a bit more sensitive since I find that I have to speak a bit louder for my voice to be heard clearly when I'm in a call.
So are earbuds for me?
While I prefer headphones because they have better sound in my opinion and are more comfortable to use (read: In general, I don't like how earbuds have to be inserted into the ear and how it feels.) BUT, I do find that earbuds are convenient and practical in many cases.
For one, it's very useful when you go for a run or exercise because you won't be constrained or get tangled by wires.
The other thing is I like how earbuds can be used for calls especially during these quarantine times where most of my meetings are via phone or online.
And lastly, I also love how I can watch Netflix on my phone, while lying down on my side, with the earbuds plugged in my ear. You simply can't do that with a pair of headphones because you will easily break it. This makes earbuds so convenient to use especially when you want to binge watch shows and do a Big Bang Theory, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Friends or an Emily in Paris all-nighter.
So far, so good right?
Well, here comes my biggest problem with earbuds and one you would have never thought of.
It's so easy to lose it.
I lost one of these earbuds recently and I couldn't find it even now as of this writing.
Sucks, right?
I searched everywhere at home and in the car but I never found it. And given that it is so small and it is wireless, the harder it will be for you to find it and the easier will it be for someone not familiar with earbuds (like my parents and even my kids) to play with it and throw it in the trash.
I now understand how women feel when they lose one of their earrings. It's a nightmare.
Now, two months after I bought this, I only have one earbud left and it's sitting in my cabinet useless. It's sad and frustrating but I'm glad I didn't buy an expensive one.
But anyway, this is not to discourage you from buying true wireless earbuds.
What I'm doing basically is enlightening you of what could happen in case you lose one of the earbuds. Because trust me, it's so easy to drop it somewhere and not notice it and lose it forever. I haven't considered nor thought about that possibility until I experienced it myself.
Would I recommend buying one?
Yes for sure.
But if you'll ever buy one of these, please make sure to take care of it and safekeep it whether you get it from an affordable one like Aukey (which I recommend) or from some other more premium and expensive brands like Apple, Samsung, Sennheiser or Bose. You don't want to lose a 25 grand earbuds for sure.

Grief & Exercise: Does It Really Matter
In the depths of grief, it's often easy to retreat to your couch and spend hours watching television. There's a place for that—but sitcom marathons shouldn't prevent you from getting out and moving your body.
Exercise is a key part of taking care of ourselves physically, which is crucial after a significant loss. More importantly, there is a concrete link between exercise, improved mood, and reduced depression.
It's All About Endorphins
Scientifically speaking, exercise boosts mood because of endorphins, a natural chemical that is released during exercise. Endorphins reduce our experience of pain, interacting with the same receptors in the brain as morphine or heroin. You might have heard about a "runners' high"—it is in fact very similar, chemically, from being high on opioids (but without the other nasty side effects).
The endorphin release is what makes exercise such a powerful tool when it comes to handling grief. In addition to a totally natural euphoria, endorphins and exercise, in general, has also been proven to help alleviate some common grief symptoms, such as problems sleeping, anxiety and low self-esteem.
Of course, exercise also has concrete benefits for your physical health. It's not uncommon for grief to manifest itself through illness—so much so that widows are at significantly higher risk of death from all causes in the year after their spouse dies. So the physical benefits of exercise shouldn't be ignored, either.
Establishing an Exercise Routine
It's not news that exercise is good for you—but that doesn't mean that everyone does it. If you haven't been much of an athlete before, motivating yourself can be particularly challenging if you're already struggling with grief. You might also be juggling increased family responsibilities and be unsure how to fit exercise into your schedule. Here are some strategies to consider if you don't know where to start.
Choose something you enjoy. There are thousands of types of exercise, from running to yoga to dance classes. There's no reason to force yourself to do an activity that isn't fun—find something you will look forward to and you're more likely to follow through.
Choose something you can afford. Most discussions about exercise focus on joining a gym—but gyms can be expensive. Financial struggles can be a part of the loss, and there is no reason to increase your financial stress in the name of exercise. Look for options that are free or low-cost—there are plenty.
Schedule it. Studies have shown that people are more likely to exercise if they have a set time dedicated to exercise.
Get a partner. If there is someone you can exercise with, you'll both be more likely to stick to your routine and can simultaneously combat the social isolation that is often associated with grief.
Working with a counselor can help you identify the right tools to use in your grief journey—and help you work out how to integrate things like exercise into your schedule. Exercise can help you get through the acute stages of grief and build a happier, healthier life in the long-run. Together, we can work on ways to help you follow through and feel as good as possible even when dealing with grief.

Gov. Gavin Newsom declared Monday that California's stay-at-home order is no more and outdoor dining can resume. His scientific reasons seem unclear, given the fact that the 7-day COVID case average now is actually higher than when he unilaterally shut the Golden State down.
After a winter surge, coronavirus cases and hospitalizations are beginning to decline across the state. But compared to when the governor established the stay-at-home order framework last month, total confirmed cases have more than doubled, daily confirmed cases have increased, the seven- and 14-day positivity rates are higher and ICU capacity is lower in each region of the state except Northern California, according to the most recent state data available.
Two things have changed, which are political, which is not supposed to impact COVID decisions.
One, Newsom faces a credible recall effort. Many in the media are hating on it, which means it scares them and him.
As the new week begins, Newsom is under the microscope again. Despite promising transparency, the AP reported that Newsom's administration refused to share the data it's using to lift COVID restrictions.
Recall supporters say it's the latest example of what they're talking about.
"What's worse is his explanation for why he's shielding this information," said Assemblymember Kevin Kiley (R – Rocklin,) who's written a book called Recall Newsom, but has no official role with the recall campaign. "He just says it's too complicated. It would be confusing to the public to have access to it."
Two, the Bad Orange Man is no longer president. The California Globe sensibly picks up on the latter.
Media reports Sunday on social media announced the California Restaurant Association saying California Gov. Gavin Newsom would be lifting the stay-at-home order for all regions across the state Monday.
What the media should have said is now that Joe Biden is President, COVID is cured and states can open up.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Democrat, also started talking about reopening once it was clear Biden would become president. And the World Health Organization announced — on the day of his inauguration — that it's time to take another look at the COVID test sensitivity. If the test sensitivity gets wound down, as it should, we will have fewer cases. Biden can take the credit despite having had nothing at all to do with, well, anything.
Update: I published before adding this just for extra spice.
[WATCH] C'Mon Now, Joe Biden Hates Science!

This series documents my journey crossing 300 kms of the Namib Desert in 8 days on Xerox, my super feisty eight year old cross Arab mare which
I just wanted to adopt on the spot! Starting in Ababis near the stunning red sand dunes of Sossusvlei National Park finishing in Swakopmund on the atmospheric Skeleton Coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Crossing the oldest desert in the world where zebras, giraffes, ostriches, jackals, hyenas and other desert adapted animals can easily be spotted from horse back while galloping across vast plains to cover as much ground before sunset where we placed our swag under a canopy of endless stars (no tent needed here!). A huge thank you goes to my extraordinary guide Andrew Gillies from Namibia Horse Safari who lead this epic adventure with such skill and humour:)

COVID-19 Data from Selected Hospitals
The National Hospital Care Survey (NHCS) collects data on patient care in hospital-based settings to describe patterns of health care delivery and utilization in the United States. Settings currently include inpatient and emergency departments (ED). Additionally, the NHCS contributes data that may inform public health emergencies as the survey is designed to capture emerging diseases and viruses that require hospitalizations, including COVID-19 encounters. The 2020 – 2023 NHCS are not yet fully operational so it is important to note that these data are not nationally representative.
The data are from 25 hospitals submitting inpatient and 25 hospitals submitting ED Uniform Bill (UB)-04 administrative claims from March 18, 2020–May 23, 2023. Even though the data are not nationally representative, they can provide insight on the impact of COVID-19 on various types of hospitals throughout the country. This information is not available in other hospital reporting systems. The NHCS data from these hospitals can show results by a combination of indicators related to COVID-19, such as length of inpatient stay, in-hospital mortality, comorbidities, and intubation or ventilator use. NHCS data allow for reporting on patient conditions and treatments within the hospital over time.
Tabulated data show the percentage of confirmed, suspected COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 encounters over time, among all ED or inpatient encounters in the reporting hospitals. Data are presented for each setting (inpatient and ED) and for each week, by age and sex.
Tabulated data show the percentage of confirmed COVID-19 encounters, by hospital urban-rural location. Hospital location is grouped into three categories: large and fringe metropolitan area, medium and small metropolitan area, and rural area. Data are presented for each setting (inpatient and ED) and for each week.
Tabulated data show the percentage of all hospitals encounters with a COVID-19 screening conducted in the hospital. Data are presented for each setting (inpatient and ED) and for each week, by age and sex. Additionally, the percentage of positive and negative screenings among total COVID-19 screenings are shown for each week, by age and sex.
Tabulated data show the percentage of confirmed COVID-19 inpatient discharges that involved intubation or ventilator use at any time during hospitalization. Weekly data are presented by age and sex.
Tabulated data show the percentage of confirmed COVID-19 encounters in which an in-hospital death occurred. Data are presented for each setting (inpatient and ED) and for each week, by age and sex. Additionally, data show the percentage of in-hospital deaths among confirmed COVID-19 discharges, with and without intubation or ventilator use. Lastly, data presented show the average length of stay among COVID-19 inpatient discharges by intubation or ventilator use and in-hospital mortality status.
Tabulated data show the percentage of hospital confirmed COVID-19 encounters with the co-occurrence of other respiratory illnesses. Data are presented for each setting (inpatient and ED) and for each week, by age and sex.
The figure below shows the number of hospital visits in the inpatient and EDs for the 25 hospitals that submitted inpatient data and the 25 hospitals that submitted ED data from March 18, 2020–May 23, 2023.
- 3,538,355 ED encounters and 1,179,949 inpatient discharges.
Technical Notes
- Data are not nationally representative.
- Less than 1% of all encounters were excluded due to missing sex, age, or a diagnosis.
- 9.2% of inpatient discharges were for newborns and are excluded (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification [ICD–10-CM: Z38]).
The data provided are from small and large hospitals across the country in urban and rural locations. Information on the characteristics of the hospitals that provided UB–04 administrative claims data are below.
The data used in the figures are considered preliminary and have not undergone final edits. There will be updates every two months to the presented data to include data. The results may change in monthly updates and with the release of the final 2023 NHCS data file, which will also not be nationally representative.
There is a higher percentage of general acute hospitals that are included in this summary than the number of general acute hospitals in the NHCS hospital frame file. There is also a much larger percentage of hospitals with 500 or more beds and hospitals in urban areas included in these results than found on the NHCS hospital frame file.

NHCS is designed to collect electronic (UB–04 administrative claims or electronic health records) data for all encounters in a calendar year. From 2020-2022, the NHCS nationally representative sample included 608 hospitals. In 2023, the NHCS sample was 601 hospitals. Eligible hospitals are in the 50 states and the District of Columbia and include non-institutional and non-federal hospitals with six or more staffed inpatient beds. Information collected includes diagnoses, procedures, demographics, discharge status, and patient identifiers (e.g., name and Social Security number). Hospitals are currently being received into the survey.

Late night
this man, he was wearing something on his head, like a scarf or bandanna maybe. and braids. he had a few strands of dirty hair wrapped in fabric. a white t-shirt & overalls. and a big dangling earring, much like my favorite pair in the '80s. it sort of resembled silver chimes hanging from his […]Read more >>
Walking contradiction
a matter of life or death: it's hours before Rock N' Roll monday, and i can't decide what to wear. i am staring hard at my reflection in the mirror; i'm polling every boy i can find online to see what they think; i'm calculating the infinite possibilities of how wearing a skirt or jeans […]Read more >>

Car wash
he was wearing a ratty white t-shirt and khaki shorts. i didn't much notice his face, just his voice. "car wash, miss?" he asked. "maybe on my way back," i said. "how about a donation? our friend just died." the sign he was carrying resembled the spray paint on the walls in town. the other […]Read more >>
Rest in peace, Performa
i unplugged my computer today–a kind of bittersweet moment, as i've had the thing for so long. now it's sitting on the floor, a big clunky machine and mess of wires, waiting to be put into a box and stuffed in the garage. my hard drive is saved on a zip disk and everything else […]Read more >>
Is she?
I first noticed her brown wiry curls and leathery skin. She'd clearly been in the sun too long. her belt buckle was the size of a credit card. Her jeans looked like they'd walked out of the 80s. She was wearing a fuzzy black tanktop and no bra. "Is she a hooker?" Lisaann asked. –Dresden […]Read more >>
Locked in
i just got up a half hour ago — went to bed at 9 and slept six hours straight. i'd been up all night doing not what you are thinking and i am wishing. no. i was up singing karaoke and shuffling cards and flinging spoons and eating red vines and gulping mountain dew and […]Read more >>

i noticed this girl pointing our direction. i looked to see what it was she was pointing at and saw a boy — tall, skinny, blond (he looked a lot like gap stockboy matt) — holding up his cellphone so that whoever was on the line, a girl presumably, could hear the song. it was […]Read more >>
Echo (echo) Park
out on a school night, at a no-name bar in echo park. neon light whispered cocktails into the air and lured us inside. we sat in the corner of the room, watching it slowly fill with people and drinking beer that tasted like pennies. the table was too far from the booth. i noticed, because […]Read more >>
Common courtesy, my ass
what bothered me most about it wasn't that we ended up missing the vocal stylings of marty & elayne; it wasn't that i was, for the five millionth time, mistaken for a 19-year-old; it wasn't that had i ordered a midori sour instead of a fist of fury my brain would have been working better […]Read more >>
i am so tired. i've been up baking cookies, downloading software and reading books until way past my bedtime. i've been using parts of my brain i forgot exist and speaking in words i used to mock. and i've been having dreams about him, again. do you remember that problem i was having because the […]Read more >>
Under his wing
at the airport this morning, i saw a dad and his boy standing in line to get a cup of coffee. the boy, no more than 5, kept wandering off, but his dad took the child's hand and brought it to his hip and said, "hold on to my pocket." there was something so tender […]Read more >>
so, i am in love. with a computer. my new computer. an ibook. it's just how i like 'em: sleek, shiny and sharp. and so stylish it makes your eyes hurt. i can already see this becoming a co-dependent relationship; i came to my parents' house to take them to the airport tomorrow, and i […]Read more >>

Get A Daily Insight on What The Future Brings You. Let the future unfold with your Daily Tarot Reading
The most considerable sources of information about life come from within. Tarot helps in corresponding to one's higher side and decoding the information on how personality traits are linked to the possible future outcomes.
Daily Tarot Reading is one of the oldest forms of fortune telling dating back to almost 500 years ago. It draws its roots from ancient clairvoyant science that has been around for 2200 years now. Tarot reading consists of a deck of 22 cards with each having a distinct symbol signifying a specific piece of information. Set of these Tarot cards help in gaining insights on issues concerning career, finance, prospects, and relationships.
A Tarot spread gives you a comprehensive understanding of the possibilities intrinsic to a situation, but how the circumstances pan out depend upon you - your ability to adapt to the dynamic condition that your tarot reading suggests. It's a virtual bridge between the future and your conscious & subconscious mind. It is totally up to you, which path you're willing to take. Although, it is meant to map an outline of the possibilities and not to predict the future.
A Tarot deck contains 22 cards that are laid out randomly. Each card symbolizes a specific energy or spiritual verity whose significance depends upon the sequence of a draw. There are plenty of possible outcomes that combine to form a very particular meaning. One needs to draw a set of three cards from the deck. A Tarot reader would then exercise his abilities to decipher the combination and provide you with the verdict. But here at Horoscopelogy, we have gifted readers who are much more than the classical psychics. The can read between the lines and serve you with incredible predictions that are terrifically accurate.
Primarily, there are two distinct types of Tarot reading: open reading and question reading.
Tarot reading is a wonderful way to gain some new and insightful perspectives on various life aspects. It's a true reflection of your inner self. Not to forget, how brilliant a way it is to address most deep rooted emotional conundrums and personal dilemmas, in the easiest way possible. But, it isn't limited to certain situations or phases in life, it aids to decision-making on a much greater level.
Here, we provide you with four kinds of Tarot Reading which touches on various aspects of your life. They are

Three Green MEPs, including one from the UK, have been arrested after breaking into a Belgian military airbase to protest against the stockpiling of US nuclear weapons there.
The MEPs, Molly Scott Cato from the UK, Michèle Rivasi from France, and Tilly Metz from Luxembourg, scaled the 3.5-metre perimeter fence at Kleine Brogel airbase in the country's Flemish northeast.
They blocked the base's runway holding a large banner which read: "Europe free of nuclear weapons", before they were detained.
"I have been arrested for breaking into a Belgian military airbase to protest against the stockpiling of American nuclear bombs," Ms Scott Cato tweeted after the action.
Another Green MEP, Austrian representative Thomas Waitz, was also arrested as part of a dozen-strong demonstration outside the base, organised by peace campaigners.
In a statement written ahead of the protest, Ms Scott Cato MEP said: "Our action is intended to challenge EU countries to remove US nuclear weapons from European soil.
"Each B61 bomb is 23 times more powerful than the bomb that devastated Hiroshima. These apocalyptic weapons should find no home in Europe.
"We demand that Europe's nuclear nations immediately sign up to the landmark global Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and begin the process of decommissioning their nuclear arsenals.
"Nuclear weapons are obsolete in an era of asymmetric warfare and cyber warfare and have no place in a European defence policy for the 21st century. Britain and France have ignored their obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons for far too long."
Kleine Brogel airbase is home to Belgium's 10th Tactical Wing, which operates US-built aircraft capable of delivering nuclear weapons. It is also home to a US munitions support squadron, which is thought to maintain the nuclear weapons at the base.
The French MEP Ms Rivasi said: "We are demanding the withdrawal of nuclear bombs at Kleine Brogel and also from Italy, Germany and the Netherlands. We urge all EU member states to sign and ratify the treaty prohibiting nuclear weapons. Our first objective is a Europe without nuclear arms."
Earlier this month, Donald Trump pulled the US out of the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty, which restricts some nuclear weapons. Activists warned of the possibility of a new nuclear arms race, while the US accuses Russia of violating the treaty.
Kate Hudson, CND general secretary, applauded the actions of the MEPs.
"We are in desperate need for a new era of diplomacy," she added. "The British government could lead the way by supporting efforts to rescue the INF treaty and fully engaging with the UN's treaty on the prohibition of nuclear weapons.
"Our country is in a strong position to demonstrate how the nuclear states can work together to reduce and abolish nuclear weapons. The alternative is to sit back while the US president tears up all restraints on nuclear weapons and rapidly moves the world closer to nuclear war."
The protest by the MEPs, which has made headlines in Belgium, comes in the context of the Belgian Greens making significant gains in October's Belgian local elections. They are expected to do well in the country's coming federal elections scheduled for May of this year.
Ms Scott Cato is far from the first Green politician from the UK to be arrested for direct action. In August 2013, Brighton Pavilion MP Caroline Lucas was arrested at a non-violent protest against fracking in Sussex. She was found not guilty of obstructing a public highway the next year.
Baroness (Jenny) Jones, who was at the time the deputy chair of the London Assembly's police and crime committee, was arrested at an Occupy London protest in 2014. She was later de-arrested, according to reports at the time.

If your candidate is running Clean Elections, you can donate a five dollar contribution to assist their campaign, right on the website. If your candidate is running traditional, please reach out to them and donate to their campaign directly.
Our County meetings continue second Wednesday of the month at the Alfred Town Hall.

"It is in the depths of your life that you will discover the invisible necessity that has brought you here. When you begin to decipher this, your gift and giftedness come alive. Your heart quickens and the urgency of living rekindles your creativity."― John O'Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
In light of all that is happening, you may feel like I do at times–overwhelmed and wanting to disengage. It is difficult to know our place in the scheme of it all. So many say, "I am done with people," and a little part of me at times agrees. Sometimes it is just too much, and it even seems dangerous to engage in specific settings right now. How can one follow the roller coaster of world events in a time of political unrest, civil digression, economic and racial injustices, and an out-of-control pandemic even to envision common ground? How can we still do our part when it seems like this is much bigger than any of us can solve? How do we know when and how to act from wholeness in a world pushed apart?
My last post was about reclaiming our power and the importance of staying engaged. However, if we will be successful in enduring the challenges ahead of us, we have to insert another word, discernment. Discernment comes from the idea of separating, which might seem so contrary to the premise of the Civil Graces Project, which focuses on inclusion and healing. However, if you go to the heart of the word, to discern is to see for sure what is there. It is the ability to separate the fact from the fiction. It is about raising our consciousness to find what is essential and how we can help make things better. It is listening to that still small voice within us–the voice in children's tales called our conscience. What we know to be true often can be felt in our core. We just have a feeling about something that it is real. In a world of conspiracy theories and lies, this is our sixth sense that something isn't adding up, and it causes us to question. It leads us further on a path to pursue the truth.
Discernment is a gift that develops with practice and keeping a mind open to receive both ideas and inspiration. It is fostered when we consider different points of view, have dialogue with each other, and sift through concepts. Civil discourse is a key component to strengthening a discerning mind. It is like trying something on to see how it feels. We often discredit our feelings as purely emotional, but modern science has dispelled that myth. Our emotions and senses are a part of our inner knowing process. They are powerful indicators of what has truth for us, and yet, discernment becomes stunted if we only feed from the same sources. We have to explore and be courageous in finding ways to develop our knowledge and understanding. We cannot allow ourselves to be limited by "group think" or closed off to other options even when we find offense. Sometimes something that offends us is an area where we need to heal or expand our awareness.
We live in the dichotomy of having boundaries that protect and also knowing when we need to grow. Discernment is necessary for staying focused on the work that is required of us in this moment. With the ability to discuss online, we often get pulled into the political sway, and what is political becomes extremely personal. We need to discern that our opinions don't belong to anyone but ourselves. We don't have to spend our lives trying to make everyone else comfortable nor agree. We each are unique and have gifts to bear in our diversity. It is what makes our lives worth living–our unique perspectives and purpose. We can create a vision of life, community, and politics rooted in our meaning and purpose without the overwhelm.
Many are calling these times revolutionary when we have a choice between love or fear. Do we have the courage to fully step into who we are and act from a place of foundational change, or will we disconnect out of fear? By using the gift of discernment and going deep within ourselves, I think we all know we cannot afford to play small nor disengage. When we are reinventing what it means to be a member of society, the voices of those seeking grace are needed to challenge those calling for violence and war. We are the descendants of revolutionaries who changed the face of history, and it is our time to show up with our gifts to help reshape this moment.
One thing I know to be true, we cannot choose to stand still–if we do, someone else will determine where we move. Our history exemplifies the tremendous cost when we collapse into civil war or leave each other behind. Nearly a century ago, America was coming through a pandemic and great depression, and we charted a new course to bring us forward. Though some did not like the sweeping reforms and his style, Franklin Roosevelt challenged his opposition that we couldn't sit by while millions of Americans suffered. He said, "courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear." It is a lesson we encounter yet again today.
This moment is our time, and discernment will help us know where we can be of service. We may upset a few areas of our life, but we are dying if we are not growing. Spend time every day contemplating what stirs your heart, and call upon grace to lead you. We each have a place in creating a revolution of love. We don't have to do it alone. As long as we continue to show up and do our part from a place of the heart, the world will forever change for the better.

Scorning the Aam Aadmi Party's ambition to rule the state as a 'pipe-dream', Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Friday said it was ridiculous that a party that is totally faceless in Punjab should talk of having a grand CM face in the 2022 Assembly elections.
"With just a year to go for the Assembly polls, AAP could not find a face from Punjab to campaign in the municipal elections and had to drag in non-entities from Delhi for electioneering! And now they claim they'll find a CM face that will be the pride of Punjab?", mocked Captain Amarinder. "What can a party which sold off the farmers' interests by implementing one of the Farm Laws in Delhi back in November know of Punjab's `aan, baan and shaan," the Chief Minister asked, adding that AAP neither knows nor cares what Punjabiyat is all about.
Far from learning from their mistakes of the past 5 years, AAP continues to blunder its way through Punjab, with absolutely no understanding or concern about the problems of its people, he said. "All they see here is another state to rule, another seat of power. They do not see the pain and the problems of our people," said Captain Amarinder, adding that AAP is an outsider in Punjab and will remain so as long as it continues to be disconnected from the state's ground realities.
The exodus of AAP leaders and members from the party's Punjab unit over the past 2-3 years is just the tip of the iceberg; the fact is that they have no roots here, said the Chief Minister. "Arvind Kejriwal's party has no existence outside Delhi, and will soon be wiped out from there too, given their shameless collusion with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), at whose behest they have been trying to befool the lakhs of farmers camping outside their city for more than two months now," he further said.
The Chief Minister also termed as ludicrous and futile AAP's persistent attempt to mislead the people with lies on the issue of the Agricultural Reforms committee set up by the Government of India. "These AAP members don't even know that the committee that was formed, and in which Punjab was included only after I personally wrote to the Centre, was a reforms committee and not a drafting committee," he remarked, adding that the party, in its desperation to spread lies, has lost the narrative completely.
"Show me one piece of paper to prove that the Farm Laws were even mentioned, leave alone discussed, at the two meetings of the reforms committee held after Punjab was made a member," Captain Amarinder challenged AAP, dubbing it a party of shameless liars and cheats, with no compunction about sacrificing the truth to serve their political purpose.
Punjab neither wants nor needs such a party, said the Chief Minister, adding that "neither AAP nor its Delhi model of governance is welcome in Punjab, which is faring better than the national capital on almost every key index of development." With every passing year, Arvind Kejriwal's government is plunging the national capital lower down into the abyss of devastation, in sharp contrast to Punjab, which has seen unprecedented growth and development in the past 4 years, he said. Even the much-touted health model of Delhi government, which showed a decline by two positions on the Health Index from 2015 to 2019, was completely exposed during the Covid peak crisis, he pointed out, calling upon Kejriwal to focus on managing Delhi instead of wasting precious time and resources in trying to find a footing (or a face) in Punjab or other states.
What Punjab needs is solid and sincere leadership, not a party of loud-mouth liars and deceivers, he added.

CARBONDALE, Pa. -- The hotel on Main Street in Carbondale has had three names in five years: Best Western, Carbondale Grand Hotel, and now, Hotel Anthracite. That name will stick, according to its new managers.
"We hope that people see it and get inspired to really revitalize the area," said Sarah O'Fee, Hotel Anthracite director of marketing.
Hotel Anthracite is managed by Settlers Hospitality, the owner of several hotels and restaurants in the Poconos. O'Fee showed off the newly renovated spaces.
"I think anyone who is doubting, once they come in, will say, 'Wow, this is a little oasis.' And it's really nicely updated, furnished, and it has a lot of historical touches that I think the town will embrace," said O'Fee.
The hotel is now decorated with dozens of historical photos depicting Carbondale at the height of coal mining.
Many of those pictures, paintings, and postcards inside the hotel used to have a home on the third floor of Carbondale City Hall inside the Carbondale Historical Society.
"It's wonderful to get them in wider circulation so other people can see them," said historical society director Dr. Silas Powell.
Powell says the new hotel gives his old photos a bigger audience.
"They're so much about the future, and we're so much about the past, but we've come together on this mutual territory which can be good for the hotel, can be good for us, and good for Carbondale," Powell said. "It's a wonderful thing to happen to a small industrial town, to have it, it's been kicked up a notch. It's really very positive and everybody's going to win."
Hotel Anthracite is booked up for its first official night.

Armani has spent six years working with organizations and youth movements to provide education, leadership, and resources to communities across the country.

Outdoor storage chests will allow people to have perfectly functional and peaceful area space, and other people would call it storage trunk or cabinet for their garden. With this type of storage, it's relatively easy to take advantage of the storage you have to store equipment, tools, chemicals, and other items that need keeping.
A storage chest has different sizes, materials, and shapes. Although others use the cabinet with a bracket door, many are also using storage chests or trunks. In this article, you will know some details about a storage chest and the benefits of using it. With that said, here are the benefits of using an outdoor storage chest.
What's The Importance of an Outdoor Storage Chests?
Using a storage chest for outdoors is excellent for the backyard, garden, or terrace. People also use outdoor storage chest for the cushions of outdoor furniture, thus making it look cleaner. Some people might use it to keep their children's toys, but others use this storage type to keep cleaning tools for the swimming pool, gardening tools, or barbeque tools. And you are allowed to store the garden's hose.
What are Those Benefits?
With a spot that you can keep all your stuff in a single place, an outdoor storage chest guarantees an accessible organization. You don't need to search for your belongings anywhere in your house because you can access which items you need through them in the outdoor storage chest.
Quick Access
When all your items are within your reach in an orderly manner, it is relatively easy to grab them and proceed with your activity instead of searching for them and wasting your time.
Garden's Appearance
With the perfect size, shape, material, and color, an outdoor storage chest will improve the garden's visual look.
Frees Up Space
If the drawers in your house occupy any storage space, it's easy to free up those spaces by placing unnecessary items in an outdoor chest. With that, the decluttered space will be available for more essential things that you might need.
Generates Space
Not only that, space outside will be a lot bigger, but an outdoor storage chest can generate double the storage space inside. The chest space is quite broad, and it can store about six hundred of the average volume. With that said, it means that the purpose of the storage chest is to generate a lot of space.
There are outdoor chests with wheels attached to them, which allows you to move them in any place you want quickly.
Bench + Trunk
Some storage chests are designed to look like a bench, which you can comfortably relax and sit on them while having a lot of storage space where you can keep your items inside. A patio cushion storage will allow you to store the cushion in the trunk and take them out whenever you want to sit on them comfortably.
The outdoor storage chest can provide security to the fragile, sharp, and expensive items you have. Not only it gives protection, but it's also capable of concealing your things away so that your kids won't reach them.
Little Maintenance
Once the outdoor storage chest is installed, there's no need to spend a lot of effort and time on the maintenance to keep it functional. The truth is, there's barely any maintenance required at all. The purpose of its design is to withstand harsh weather environments such as cold, winds, etc.
If you need to free up space in your house or store your equipment and tools somewhere safe, you have to use outdoor storage chests. This storage unit will keep unnecessary things that you don't want to throw away and create a lot of space inside the house.

So, to help you beat the dreary monsoon blues, we have handpicked a few celebrity makeup styles that you can try out this season.

If your makeup philosophy is 'less is more', then you'd love this subtle, playful look like Aditi. With fuller eyebrows, peachy cheekbones and earthy eyeshadow, the light pink lipstick stands as a focus in the whole look, making it perfect for all the ladies who love no makeup and light makeup looks. The best bit? The look would go perfectly with both ethnic and casual western wear.

What better way to beat the monsoon gloominess than by being your own sunshine? Keeping up with the bright-hued eyeshadows trend, this look by Gigi is all about adding a dash of colour to the otherwise neutral makeup look. Right from the nude lipstick to the matte base and va-va-voom lashes, the look is bound to grab attention.

We are in love with bright eyeshadow, but can you really blame us? The dewy base and blush-toned lipstick give a perfect monsoon vibe to the look, and the blue graphic liner takes the look to a whole new level. Team it with silver nail paint, and you're bound to rock Huma's look!
BB Pick : Lakmé Absolute Spotlight Eye Shadow Palette - Stilettos, Lakme True Wear Color Crush Nail Color - Shade 10
Let the colours fly like Lily Collins

If you haven't already adored Lily's wardrobe and style in Emily in Paris, then her Instagram will do that for you! We are especially loving her colourful look that is bound to drive those monsoon blues away. Put on a fun tangerine lip shade paired with dusky blue eyeshadow on a dewy base to make your Lily-inspired monsoon look absolutely perfect.

Skopelos: Vacanta in 27 de instagrame
|Aveti si pe roz?
Sambata noapte m-am intors din vacanta. Nu fara sa bat din picior tot drumul ca eu nu vreau acasa. N-am mai facut atata scandal de cand mergeam cu parintii la mare (and it's been a while). Asa ca pana ma adun cat sa iasa de-o poveste coerenta despre cat de frumos e sa stai degeaba pe o insula in Grecia (in cazul de fata – Skopelos), let there be #instamoments.
|"I'm bored. Can we go now?", A. texted me. And we were on our way.
|Prima! (la portul din Volos, at early o'clock in the morning)
|Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
|No caption needed
|You don't forget your first beer (pe insula, nu in general :))
|Dinner under a pomegranate tree. Life as it should be
|Suitable for a traveller
|From where I'm standing #1
|From where I'm standing #2
|Lunchtime companions
|Happy hour in Skopelos. Powered by The Liquor Store
|Blissful afternoon and other boring, tedious events
|Breakfast time
|Why are we seduced by something as small as a front door in another country?
|I'm outdoorsy (read: I like to get drunk in gardens)
|Such is life
|More than 50 shades of blue
|Moon, Aegean and Me
|From where I'm standing #3
|(indian) Summertime and the living is easy
|Cliseu de vacanta cu apus si mare

|Last view of beautiful Skopelos before I'm off to Thessaloniki
|Happy times.

Roof Repair & Roof Replacement Services in Plano
Do you own a home in the Plano, TX area? Have you found yourself googling "roofers near me" recently? Whether it's a leak that needs fixing or a full roof replacement you're considering, you need to find the right roofing contractor, one that meets your needs with the utmost quality and professionalism. Look no further than SEI Roofing, where we make it our mission to ensure that homeowners living in the Plano, TX area have access to a wide range of premium roofing services.
At SEI Roofing, we know that your roof is the most important part of your home. It protects you, your family, and the interior of your house from the elements, and the right one can significantly add to the visual appeal of your property. That's why we, as a local roofing company, have dedicated ourselves for years to ensure that your roof is always in good shape and looking its finest.
Maximizing the lifespan of your roof doesn't just mean picking the right materials, it also means doing regular maintenance on your roof to prevent ordinary wear-and-tear from getting out of control and leading to larger problems. A roof that has been compromised by the elements puts your home at risk of water damage, which, among other things, can cause mold growth and harm the structural integrity of your house.
Our roof repair specialists are expertly trained to identify and repair any source of water intrusion to help you avoid the headache of needing larger repairs down the line. From minor leaks to major breaches, our specialists have you covered.
Storm Damage Roof Repair
While each roof is built to withstand regular wear-and-tear over a long period of time – between 10 and 100 years – no one can predict when a major storm event might hit, causing potentially catastrophic damage to your home in a short period of time. If your home has been affected by storm damage, such as from heavy wind or hail, contact SEI Roofing, and we will send an expert over immediately to inspect the damage and help you determine the best course of action.
Roof Replacement
Even the most durable roof will wear down completely with time, so, at a certain point, your home may need a full roof replacement. The experts at SEI Roofing are here to ensure that your roof replacement is done right. If you notice any signs that your roof may need replacing – such as cracked shingles, leaks or moss-growth – contact us today. We will send someone over right away to determine whether or not your roof is in need of replacing. If you need a new roof, our experts will guide you in the process of picking the right type of roofing for your home.
Roof Inspection
Think your roof is doing okay? It's best to be sure. While your roof may appear to be in great condition, there may still be minor issues that, if left unaddressed, could lead to bigger problems with costly solutions. SEI Roofing offers annual roof inspection services, designed to detect issues with the structural integrity of your roof that you may not have noticed yourself. Not only will the lifespan of your roof increase, but you may also end up saving yourself a lot of money by addressing problems early and avoiding unnecessary roof repair and even roof replacement costs down the line.
Roof Insurance Claims
At SEI Roofing, our team has years of experience helping our customers navigate the roof insurance claim process with ease and success. Contact us today, and we will assign you an agent to discuss with you in detail how best to proceed.
Types of Roofs
Considering a roof replacement? Picking out a style for your new roof may not be as simple a process as may seem. Of course, the roof replacement cost will vary with each style, but other factors, such as climate and aesthetic appeal, may play a role in your decision too. There are a variety of roof types to choose from, and our team at SEI Roofing will work with you, side by side, to determine the right look for your home.
Gutter Services
One way of keeping your roof and your whole house in great shape is by properly maintaining your gutters. Water that runs right off the side of your roof, without proper channeling, will pool at the base of your house and eventually cause damage to your foundation. Proper gutter installation and regular gutter repair are essential to prevent this from happening. Avoid breaking the bank down the line by contacting SEI Roofing today to fix any minor issues before they start to add up. We are here to handle all your gutter installation and gutter repair needs.
We've Got You Covered, Plano
At SEI Roofing, we don't just care about the well-being of your roof, we care about your entire home, and, so, in addition to our premium roofing services, we offer supplemental services, such as siding installation, fencing construction/repairs, and interior/exterior painting.
If you own a home in the Plano, TX area, and you've been googling "roofers near me," your search ends here, with SEI Roofing – Plano's go-to roofing company to satisfy all your roofing needs!

Certain 'ramblers' deserve to be chased away by the Alpacas. We also have quad bikes, trail bikes, and push bikes, coming past the house at weekends. Nothing we can do about it other than to cross our fingers that we don't have too many.Delete

Homeless man wins $500,000 on lottery ticket
ASPEN, Colo. -- A homeless man probably isn't homeless anymore after winning $500,000 from a lottery scratch ticket.
The 61-year-old man bought the ticket at a gas station last week. He said he's homeless because of financial hardships, including a divorce and the loss of his business.
"The man who won is a very humble and hardworking man who fell on hard times," said Vince Savage with the Aspen Homeless Shelter.
Savage said the man, whose name is Michael, is shy and doesn't want much attention.
"The shelter is determined to get him on the right path with this great gift he was given," Savage said.
A clerk at the Aspen Shell station said Michael often buys $1 or $2 tickets, but on Friday, he spent $10 on tickets, the Aspen Times reported.
A clerk at the Aspen Shell station confirmed Friday night that a man won a $500,000 scratch-off ticket purchased from the store.
