Dr Deb O'Connell
HB3 on-board Overall & Leadership facilitator
HB1 Alumna
The world is changing at an unprecedented rate and in novel ways. In response, many governments and non-government organisations, industries, businesses, programs and policies, as well as civil society, are developing aspirational goals that embody the concepts of resilience, adaptation, transformation and sustainability. The challenge is to make these concepts operational, and use the science to support decision-making in communities, industries and governments.
Deb leads global research in the areas of resilience, adaptation pathways and transformation of social-ecological systems. She has a strong interest in designing and applying contemporary scientific and engagement approaches to complex, real-world problems. She takes a systems approach and enjoys working with people to build strong connections between scientists; those who make decisions in business, government and NGOs; and the communities that care about the issues at stake. She has a creative approach to collaboration and co-production of knowledge, and embraces the arts and humanities as critical ways to improve the relevance and impact of science. She has built many successful partnerships and collaborations with a range of people, disciplines and organisations, as is reflected by the range of projects she has led, and her co-authorship on a range of different types of publications.
Her research in the last 20 years has focused on developing and applying integrated assessment frameworks and systems analysis approaches in the domains of water and energy; as well as sustainability science. She has spent the last five years applying these approaches in the areas of how society can navigate global change and shock – for example, in climate change adaptation, food and water security, and disaster risk and mitigation.

Sydney, 10 October, 2017 (The IST News Network)
The IST has come across a flyer of Lions Club of Sydney Indian that claims that the Hon Minister, Ray Williams, is hosting their event at NSW Parliament on 11 October, 2017. The event will include "cultural presentations, commendations, networking drinks, and nibbles." It will also include "health check up."
Many are wondering about the purpose and necessity for organizing "health check up" in NSW Parliament, particularly when all people have to do for a health check up is to visit their GP in their own suburb. "Health Check up" in NSW Parliament sounds like a stunt.
It is known that a room or a Function Centre in the Parliament for community events can only be booked by an MP or an MLC. Booking an event doesn't necessarily mean that the relevant MP or MLC becomes a host of the event. That MP or the minister obviously can become a distinguished guest or a chief guest. If a Minister is the "host" of the event, the event becomes a Government event and there would be NSW Government's official Logo in the flyer. There is no NSW Government Logo in this Flyer.
There are some major issues with the way this event is being marketed. One of the issues is whether the relevant minister is in fact hosting the event. There are doubts about it. If the minister is indeed hosting it, when did a Government minister start hosting a networking event for unrelated to the Government business and health check up in the Parliament? Writing the word "hosted by the minister", there is a possibility that the Event organisers are being sneaky and are employing false advertising with the purpose to obtain sponsorship from businesses. Events hosted by the Government Ministers generally don't seek sponsorship from Real Estate agents, home loans vendors and legal firms. There is an issue of reputational damage to the NSW Government with this particular flyer.
Flyers of the events, which are attended by Government Ministers, are generally vetted by their offices for the manner in which they are presented in the flyer. Did this happen with the office of the Minister named in the Flyer is another pertinent question.
There is a concern in the community about the language in the Flyer. It would be pertinent for the office of the Minister to review the flyer and take prompt remedial action to avoid any harm to his office and the Government.

This will come to a shock as so many users have tried this, or is using this product at the moment but the Taiwanese government will ban the sale of TonyMoly's Magic White Massage Pack after tests has revealed that the product contains a high amount of hydrogen peroxide ( 2% ) . High dosage of hydrogen peroxide can irritate the skin, and may damage skin cells with long term use.
According to TonyMoly's Taiwanese official distributor, the products affected were the 1st generation of TonyMoly Magic White Massage Pack and have not been sold in shops anymore. The 2nd generation of TonyMoly Magic White Massage Pack does not contain hydrogen peroxide. However, the Taiwanese government officials stated that the products tested were obtained from the TonyMoly Magic White Massage Pack found in the market.
According to the Taiwanese law, hydrogen peroxide can only be used in hair products and toothpaste but is banned from all cosmetics product. The Hong Kong customs will be testing the product itself and will take the appropriate actions if found to have high concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Singapore's TonyMoly will not be affected as they do not bring in this range of products.
This is not the first time Korean cosmetic products has come under fire in Taiwan. Last year, Taiwanese officials also found fluorescent agents in IPKN's BB Cream, but after further tests showed that the product contained ingredients that were not harmful. ( Read the full article : here )
UPDATE : Tony Moly SIngapore has issued a statement regarding the matter :
TonyMoly Singapore would like to assure and inform its shoppers and fans that it… had not and does not import and sell the TonyMoly Magic White Massage Pack that has been ordered off the shelves in Taiwan. Please do note that the TonyMoly Magic White Massage Pack is not available in both TonyMoly Singapore's authorised retail stores (in Bugis Junction and Raffles Xchange).
TonyMoly Singapore would also like to clarify that the TonyMoly Tomatox Brightening Mask is not the TonyMoly Magic White Massage Pack. Please do note that these two items are similar in packaging but contain different ingredients and also perform different functions. The TonyMoly Tomatox Brightening Mask is a red tomato shape product but the affected TonyMoly Magic White Massage Pack is a more orangy tomato shape product in a box.
If there are any discomfort or queries about your *TonyMoly Tomatox Brightening Mask that you have purchased from us, please do feel free to bring down your item to our two TonyMoly Singapore shops at Bugis Junction and Raffles Xchange and we would be pleased to address your queries.

Eurelectric Position Paper: Smart charging is indispensable to deliver the benefits of electric vehicles
Eurelectric is convinced that electricity is a solution for making transport more sustainable. Using low]carbon electricity in the transport sector can decrease greenhouse gas emissions, encourage energy]efficiency gains through the greater efficiency of electric drive]trains, decrease the EU's oil dependence, improve the situation in cities with regard to air pollution and noise, and help to maintain the EU's competitiveness by taking the lead in these new technological developments.
Cross]industry understanding and cooperation are needed to turn these opportunities into reality and foster the amalgam of conditions that will ensure the success of this new transport technology. Reaping the full benefits of electricity as a transport fuel will require the efficient integration of electric vehicles into the European electricity system, with regard to both generation and distribution.
The existing European electricity system already provides end]users with a very efficient infrastructure for generation, transmission, distribution and commercialisation of electricity. The equilibrium of this very complex system is managed in real time, across all borders of Europe. While EURELECTRIC is convinced that the existing European electricity system is a true asset for making transport more sustainable, general recommendations for an optimal integration of electric mobility are important in order to avoid technical bottlenecks and unnecessary investments in the electricity network.
The commercial success of electric transport will, of course, largely depend on the customer. Common standards will help to ensure that drivers enjoy a convenient recharging solution across Europe that avoids a multiplicity of different cables and adaptors and/or retrofit costs for adapting to new charging systems. Moreover consumers should be able to charge their vehicle at any publicly accessible charging station across Europe. A standardised interface between the distribution grid and electric vehicles will ensure the required safety and security level for the consumer.
Commonly agreed standards will generate cost benefits and help to create economies of scale for both electricity companies and the automobile industry. Standards for both hardware (connectors and cables) and communication software are a prerequisite for a secure investment climate for the required infrastructure. As well as encouraging the sharing of development costs, such standards will help to avoid the risk of stranded assets resulting from interim solutions. However, these new standards should not make charging from domestic plugs more difficult, as this charging method facilitates early market introduction of electric vehicles. In general, at the early stage of market development, it is important to leave room for further market improvements and refrain from overcomplicating market models and imposing a regulatory minefield.

Leadership in full makeup and high heels
Sonia Brown launched the National Black Women's Network (NBWN) in 1999, to promote networking opportunities on behalf of women within the wider professional and business environment.
In 2008, Sonia launched www.sistatalk.co.uk an exciting corporate and social networking forum aimed at women looking to create a strong online professional presence and provides an extensive and useful resource for anyone serious about attracting the attention of who's who in industry and business
Each month Sonia shares her thoughts and inspiration.
Sonia Says…..
Leadership can be done in full makeup and high heels!
Women are experiencing the most freedom and liberation at any time in history; yet we are still bombarded by the notion that we are failing to take their place at the top, in the numbers we should be because we are not 'natural leaders.'
Of course, there are women who are achieving impressive results in certain sectors but on the whole, we are still underrepresented in business, politics, the boardroom, the economy and countless other sectors where it matters. In a recent article by Herminia Ibarra and Otilia Obodaru, they state that if women are going to achieve the same level of success, power and authority as men, we must simply become strong leaders by developing better visionary skills and take more risks! Nice!!
We don't need a Government White Paper or a new Task Force to realise that this does not take into account the varying (and often) challenging environment, culture, education or access to opportunities that women face around the world. Yes, there are a few enlightened men out there who want to help women (bless) and we salute them and their efforts; but at the end of the day it is up to women to focus and flourish.
So I have taken a different approach to my top 5 tips for demonstrating empowering and inspirational leadership characteristics to create the success women strive for in their life. My recommendations have no scientific proof, are not endorsed by any institution, foundation or industrial body. I have won no awards or received public recognition for my views. All I know is that those 'sure and tested techniques' have not worked for the masses of men out there and have made very little impact on the number of women securing leadership roles. So let's focus and celebrate our unique abilities to achieve extraordinary results in our professional and private lives.
1. Motivating goals produce the actions needed to make things happen.
* Ensure you have a clear and compelling vision of your professional and personal life
* Understanding what steps need to be taken to achieve your goals
* Continuously demonstrate self discipline and determination to reach your goals
* Be fearless but fair about going after your goals. Of course you will be accused of being aggressive but always act with integrity,
* Make sure your actions are transparent and honest
2. Build a winning team that takes you nearer to success rather than further away
* Likeability factor – make sure you can encourage people to follow your vision and see the bigger picture
* Identify and work with people to achieve your goals harmoniously
* Have the courage to make tough decisions that will not make you popular but allows you to achieve your objectives
* When you don't know, find information, resources and people who can achieve your vision
* Understand your sphere of influence, especially when things get tough
* Expand your mind through continuous learning both formally and informally
3. Don't be afraid to ask for help
* You are not the only winner; there is plenty of room for everyone
* Remove pride, ego, jealousy, envy and malicious behaviour from your checklist of leadership attributes
* Promote and reward collaborations, partnerships and team working. Other people have valid and workable opinions.
* Rest when you need to – you are no good if you burn out
* Reward yourself (and those around you) each step of the way
4. Your actions helps YOU first, then family, then the community and society at large
* Your actions, behaviour, attitude and passion for life make you an attractive role model to others
* You are more satisfied with life and your vision becomes very compelling, attractive and worthy to others
* It is easier to bring people along if they feel your vision and behaviour is authentic and sincere
* Everyone sees the benefits from your vision
* Your actions inspires, motivates and empowers others to be better, do more and live passionately
5. Don't be a victim, leave a legacy
* Don't be a victim, if you can believe it, you can achieve it!
* Understand that you may not see the outcome of your vision e.g. Martin Luther King (was one of many who) set the path for equality in American but paved the way for Barack Obama to become the first Black President of the USA.
* Every small step you make is tremendous progress and allows another young girl to believe that 'she can'
So, you can take my suggestions on board, or leave them! I believe they are valid and worthwhile because they are based simply on experience, common sense and a strong belief. When I look at women like Oprah (obvious), Michelle Obama, Maria Shriver, Hilary Clinton, Barbara Walters, Margaret Thatcher, Theresa May MP, Jackie Smith MP, Madelene Albright, Anne Minto OBE, Maggy McClelland and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy to name a few; they were not handed a 'how to' manual.
They are simply getting down to business, thus becoming impressive leaders in their own way and doing a very good job at it in my humble opinion!

Canadian business and state denounced by a Canadian in Brussels, due to their complicitness in murdering of Colombian Indigenous
RADIO INTERVIEW – Canada denounced for complicitness in murdering of Colombian Indigenous (please distribute widely – transcript below)
3 days ago a group from the SOCIAL AND CLIMATE JUSTICE CARAVAN visited the Canadian embassy in Brussels to seek protection for a man from Colombia who has received death treaths from Colombian Paramilitaries. The Canadian state is responsible for this due to upcoming free trade agreements as well as, along with the US, not signing the charter to protect indigenous around the world. Also Canadian mining business COSIGO RESOURCES are implicated in using these paramilitaries to obtain native lands.
(more photos here )
Dave Bleakney of the Canadian union of postal workers entered, was nearly forcibly evicted from the building but activists from all continents of the world outside blocked the door, blocking the police action. A woman rep from the embassy came down, they talked, dave left.
This interview is what dave said upon leaving the embassy, without police harrassment this time, about his view on his countries dirty business action.
Colombian paramilitaries assassinate indigenous leader in the name of Canadian multinationals (call out for global solidarity climate justice action)
RADIO INTERVIEW – Canada business involved in killing indigenous colombian farmers (please distribute widely – transcript below)
Colombian paramilitaries assassinate indigenous leader in the name of Canadian multinationals
One of the climate caravan participants, José Goyes, is part of a movement in Colombia called the Resguardo de Honduras Cauca. He lives in a fertile area in the south of the country, which is rich in vegetation, but also in mineral resources such as gold. This area has recently become the sight of a bitter struggle by the indigenous people whose livelihoods depend on this land, and the multinational corporations who are intent on exploiting it, apparently at any cost.
Canadian multinationals, and in particular a corporation called Cosigo Resources (Vancouver), are embarking on a programme of mass displacement of indigenous populations in south east Colombia. The Colombian government is supporting these multinationals; in the name of the Colombian government paramilitaries are persecuting and killing local indigenous people who oppose the forceful seizure of their land.
Many of the indigenous leaders, including José Goyes, have been threatened because they oppose the exploration of Cosigo Resources. On Sunday, we received the news that one of the indigenous leaders in the struggle had been killed. This brings the death toll of indigenous leaders in the region to five. These deaths are happening purely because the local populations are refusing to cooperate with the multinationals and government paramilitaries who are expelling them from their land.
José himself recently received a fax from the paramilitaries, stating that he and his organisation are considered a "military objective". Jose has already had paramilitaries torture him in his own home. Now he knows his life is even more seriously in danger.
** PRESS RELEASE** Canada linked to Indigenous murders in Colombia (audio included)

Canada: Human Rights Hypocrites
7 December 2009
Legislation ratifying a free trade agreement between Canada & Columbia is being passed in the Canadian Parliament. Canadian officials, claim that a free trade agreement with Colombia, will result in an improved human rights situation in Colombia. In recent days in Columbia five indigenous leaders have been murdered for their opposition to the Canadian mining firm Cosigo Resources of Vancouver.
It is objectionable that Canadian transnational companies are complicit in human rights abuses of this magnitude. Canada remains one of two countries that refuse to sign & ratify the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous peoples. How can the Canadian government claim that Free trade agreement will improve human rights, when they refuse to acknowledge the importance of Indigenous rights?

I am a mostly self taught artist who enjoys the challenge of creating art that stirs an emotion. Regardless if it's a painting that makes you feel pleasure or sadness, my goal is to master the ability to create art that will simply make you feel. I have always thought, that it is better to get a strong negative reaction from a piece of art than no reaction at all. My intent is to have it be viewed as beautiful in whatever form that may be.

Tomorrow, March 31st, 2018, yoga celebrates the birth of Hanuman, the most loyal devotee, divinity with a monkey´s face and the powerful body of a superhero. He helps us cultivate the inner strength, resilience and energy necessaries to sustain harmony in our world.
Hanuman symbolizes devotion towards love and is an avatar of god Shiva himself. He stands out because of his spiritual strength, his magical powers, the valor, intelligence and an authentic spirit of service. Even though he portrays a monkey´s face, Hanuman has overcome the animal aspects of himself, the lower mind and the personal egos. Many humans can not say this, don´t you think? He never forgets that the motivation of his practice and his life is serving the highest: divine love and cosmic order. Honoring Hanuman awakens the purest intentions of our practice and supports us in the process of awakening the divine within the heart.
There is a beautiful hymn that yogins sing to Hanuman in his birthday. It is called "Hanuman Chalisa", was created by the Indian poet Tulsidas in the 16th century and is composed of forty short verses that heighten the virtues of the biggest devotee of love. I love the last verse in which we ask him to always remain living in our hearts.
In the following links you will find three version of the Chalisa, with lyrics, for you to listen and sing karaoke style. Chant this praise at the top of your lungs if you want and awaken in you the divine qualities that are most necessary for our times.
I like this one because it is very authentic: click here.
Krishna Das´ version is full of bhakti: click here.
Shekhar Ravjani´s has a modern and sweet feeling that I love: click here.
To Hanuman, who helps us fly over all dangers, to the power of love that heals and transforms everything, to the awakening of the Self we sing.

Billions of people use social media every day, making it the perfect place to market your business. Unfortunately, most other business owners know that and have joined the fray by using social media PPC platforms.
As a result, getting your brand noticed by the right people at the right time requires some intentional effort. The following tips will help you make social media ads that stick out and get your message seen and heard on the most popular social media platforms.
Set goals
A little bit of planning can go a long way toward advertising success. Begin by identifying the market that you want to reach and establishing your goals. When you know what you're trying to achieve, you can take a methodical, structured approach to social media advertising that will deliver superior ROI to random ad placement. Having a presence on social platforms is vital if you want to maximize the visibility of your brand.
Get creative
You have to follow the rules set by each particular advertising platform, but you don't have to let that fact stifle your creativity. Think outside the box and give the text and images in your ads a unique look that differentiates you from your competitors. There are many creative ways to use social media to push your brand and image, and you will need to find the one that works best for you.
Add value
When your ads connect people to content that educates, entertains, and informs, you'll add credibility to your brand and encourage social sharing. In other words, your content matters. As we say, content is king when it comes to SEO; so if you hand over your marketing over to
Use the right tools
Social networks have tools available that help you determine the quality of your advertisements. For example, Facebook has a "Relevance Score" that can help you make sure that your ads will get the exposure they deserve. Similarly, Twitter has a "Quality Adjusted Bid" feature that can reduce your advertising costs.
Target audiences
When you use social networks to advertise, you gain access to administrative tools that let you precisely define who sees your ad and when they see it. This means that you can substantially reduce waste versus traditional advertisements that indiscriminately reach large audiences.
Stay consistent
Success depends on consistency. In other words, you can't expect a one-time ad buy to propel your firm to lasting success. When you consistently advertise, you maximize audience coverage and even start building brand recognition via repeated exposure.
Now that you have some ideas for getting the social media influence you deserve to get to work. After gaining experience with your platforms of choice, you 'll probably discover even more ways to maximize your ROI.

"Everybody ready to say goodbye to our solar system?" – Cooper
Do you remember watching commercials, as a kid, for a board game? The enthusiasm that they show, for what, upon playing the game, is a relatively mundane event? You talk your parents in buying the game, unpack it and setup, and experience the random haul around the board until someone won, wondering what aspect of the game got those TV people so excited.
I had never experienced that enthusiasm. I have enjoyed games, loved the play so much that as soon as it ended I wanted to go again, but those exclamations always eluded me.
Until Gravwell.
Watching the players get legitimately hyped over what was happening was breath of fresh air, and while your mileage may vary, this was a great time for us.
Gravwell is a simple game with few components, which is all about timing and strategy. Each player gets one of four colored ships, all of which are placed on the Singularity, at the center of a spiral. They also receive the matching Emergency Stop card. Two derelict ships are placed on designated spaces on the spiral. The goal is to move your ship from the Singularity to the Warp Gate at the end, using Fuel cards. Easy, right?
There are twenty-six cards, most of them standard Fuel, plus a few Repulsor cards, and Tractor Beam cards. You shuffle this deck, and make stacks of one face down card and one face up card for the number of players times three (There will be some cards left over). Starting with the youngest, each player in ascending age chooses a stack, and adds them to their hand, continuing in this fashion until each player has a hand of six (In later rounds, the players draft based on who is closest to the Singularity on out to the Warp Gate, with players in the Singularity drafting youngest to oldest).
Each player then chooses a card from their hand, and places it face down in front of them. Once everyone has done so, they are flipped, and resolved in Alphabetical order (Each card has an element on them, some real and some made up).
On each card is a number. The standard (yellow) Fuel cards move you towards the closest ship not in the Singularity. This may cause you to move away from the Warp Gate. If there is a tie for closest, you check for how many ships are ahead and behind you, and move in the direction of the most ships. Should you happen to land on another ship, you advance additional spaces until an empty space is found.
Blue player:
The (purple) Repulsor movement works the same, in reverse. You move away from the closest ship, following the other rules stated above.
The (blue) Tractor Beam cards pull all other ships toward your ship, following the tie breaking rules. This includes the Derelict ships.
Yellow player:
Should you decide that the card you played will put you in a bad situation, once per round you may play your Emergency Stop, voiding your card, moving you zero spaces.
Once all players have resolved their last card, the cards are shuffled, and new stack created. Advance the round marker and a new draft begins.
The six ships are nice looking minis, and the cards and board have the futuristic flavor. Theme is there, but there aren't many components to show it off.
The Flaw
The rulebook is a difficult read. While most games build on previously acquired information as you progress through the rules, here I was going back and forth trying to make sure I understood everything that was happening. Note to game developers: separate rules from examples.
The dynamic flow of the game, with changing positions and cards producing effects that may opposite of what a player intended, may not appeal to all players. It takes getting used to.
The included variants are less than appealing, and other than Hard Core, where you may only use your Emergency Stop once per game, don't seem to add depth.
This game is, in a word I rarely use, fun. I rate this a Buy. I find the quickly changing board state and limited information engaging, with its touch of randomness avoiding predictability.

Angels & Demons (2009)
4 questions
Directed by: Ron Howard
Starring: Ayelet Zurer, Ewan McGregor, Stellan Skarsgard, Tom Hanks
Question: When Langdon and the Italian cop are trapped inside the sealed room of the Vatican archive and the air is shut off, how long could they actually survive in a space that size? In the movie, they start to suffocate almost immediately. (There is no long time lapse because the movie's plot depends on defusing the bomb within a few hours).raywest
Chosen answer: In reality, they would have perished from CO2 poisoning long before the room ran out of breathable oxygen causing them to simply suffocate. Without knowing the exact dimensions of the room it is impossible to give any time more specific than "several hours" for this to happen in a room as big as that one appeared to be.Phixius
Question: What is the purpose of the boots on the rafters in the scene where they find the first murdered priest?
Chosen answer: A suspense point. Just to make the audience think that the predator is up there.shortdanzr
Question: SPOILER ALERTS! Does anyone know why they changed the final symbol to the keys instead of the one in the book? Also why they left out that the Pope was Ewan McGregor's father?shortdanzr
Chosen answer: In the book, the location of the antimatter bomb is only revealed after the Camerlengo pretends to have a "vision from God" on the steps of the Vatican. By changing the symbol to one that actually provides a clue to the location, it allows Langdon to work out where the bomb is, to actually play some part in proceedings rather than passively stand by until the villain just takes everybody there as part of his plan. As for the Pope being the Camerlengo's biological father, this is a fairly late revelation in the book and requires a substantial amount of exposition, which would only serve to abruptly slow the film to a crawl during the climax. The Camerlengo's motives, his hatred for the church's indulgence of science, are strong enough to explain his actions without the additional detail of his parentage being necessary, thus it could be safely left out to keep the film's momentum going.Tailkinker

Inducted 2005
Today we are here to honor a man of stature; a farmer, a solder, a leader, a visionary. No, I am not talking about George Washington. I describe our pioneer, John King.
John King, along with Wayne Jakino, Al Bell, and Terry Clark were IGRA's "Fantastic Four". They blazed a trail for all of us to follow, at a time when gay and rodeo were not fashionable.
John is chosen for this award, not because he is handsome, intelligent, and kind, but because he is a true example of what IGRA should be. He believes gay rodeo is a place where a young person who is learning about him or herself is able to gain confidence, acceptance, new skills and a new family. That's what is important to him - changing lives for the better, which he has done, and to quote John, "Rodeo should be fun, fun, and more fun."
John grew up as one of four children on an Iowa farm. He recalled as a young boy of 16 that on a bitterly cold New Year's Day, after milking the cows he had to take a long, hot bath to warm his blood. Later that day he saw a football game on TV where the fans were wearing short sleeves and basking in the warm Arizona sunshine, and John vowed then and there, that someday he would live in that place that was not bitterly cold with blizzards and sub zero temperatures. True to his promise, he now resides in Arizona, but his involvement with rodeo began in Colorado.
John opened "Charlie's" in Denver in 1981 and soon after, helped Colorado form their rodeo association, host their first rodeo and lay the ground work for the first IGRA Convention in 1985. He served as the first chairman of the Trustees and was Chairman of the IGRA Audit Committee for 18 years. In 1984 John opened a second "Charlie's" in Phoenix and helped bring rodeo to Arizona and in 1993 he opened "Charlie's" in Chicago and helped Illinois establish their Association. He has served 1 year as Illinois' Trustee and 7 years as the Arizona Trustee, has been Rodeo Director 8 times, and Finals Rodeo Director 4 times.
I don't know if it's that Midwest dedication, love of rodeo, or if he's just a glutton for punishment, but John has never missed an IGRA convention. After 21 years, that alone should qualify him for this award.
And now with deep appreciation, it is a privilege to induct my friend, John King into the I.G.R.A. Hall of Fame.

Habitat adds 15 homes for year
DaShanda Player and her family received the keys to their new Lexington Habitat for Humanity house at 745 Breathitt Ave. on Sunday, making her the first person in her family to a home.
The house was built by Player and volunteers from the University of Kentucky Habitat for Humanity Campus Chapter, the Panhellenic Council, and the Kentucky Interfraternity Chapter. These student groups provided more than 3,000 volunteer hours to build the home. They also raised $42,500.
This was the final of 11 Lexington Habitat homes funded by a $421,141 Affordable Housing Program grant.
Player works at UK and has four children — Lamar, Robneisha, Paul and Justice. She also has a grandson, Lamar, Jr.
Lexington Habitat is an ecumenical, Christian housing ministry that builds and renovates homes for low-income families at no profit and with zero-interest mortgages. In 2011, Lexington Habitat served 15 families, bringing the total number of families served since 1986 to 355.

Well, let's face it, it's probably the LEAST they could do considering racist dog kennels and sea kittens, and I guess it actually kinda worked this time. Maybe PETA does have a plan:
PETA to Pet Shop Boys: Rescue Shelter Boys, perhaps?
LONDON, England (CNN) -- Just because they named their new CD "Yes," does not mean that British electro-pop duo, the Pet Shop Boys, will agree to just about anything.
The band has turned down a request from an animal rights group to rename itself the Rescue Shelter Boys.
The organization, the People for the Ethical Treatment for Animals (PETA), sent a letter to Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe acknowledging that its request, at first blush, might appear "bizarre."
But, by changing its name, the band could raise awareness at every tour stop of the "cramped, filthy conditions" that breeders keep animals in before selling them to pet stores, PETA said in its letter.
Excuse me, was you sayin somethin? Uh-uh, you can't tell PETA nuthin. HAH-HAAAH, you can't tell PETA nuthin.

Every week or so, Danielle LaPorte asks a Burning Question designed to make you stop and think: "Why am I doing this? Why do I want that? What will happen if I don't do that?"
I'm a bit late because this is last week's question (ahem), but anyway here it is:
what boat do you need to burn? a testimony to your future
To tell the truth, I think a part of me was resisting writing this post. Because the question went straight for my solar plexus. Because it smacked me upside the head and said "Otiti, you HAVE to stop doing this!", then gathered me in for a hug and promised it would be OK. Notice how long it's taking me to say what damn boat I'm burning?
(Inhale). Here goes.
I'm burning the boat of needing. I'm burning the boat of need. I'm turning into ash the concept that I need x to do y before I can be happy and/or fulfilled.
I need you to love me so I can validate my self-worth.
I need you to cut me some slack so I can feel better about myself.
I need to drop a dress size or two so I can feel really sexy.
Not anymore.
I choose to love me as I am and know my self-worth is immeasurable.
I choose to show up and do the work. No excuses. No handicaps.
I choose to be foxy right now, dammit, because there's no such thing as the perfect weight or figure for all women; there's only the perfect weight for me.
Need is an insidious thing. It swallows your power and makes you dependent on external factors + influences to be on top of your game. Ironically, it's also a safe zone because you know exactly what you'll get when you do certain things. Only problem is, it's never really enough, is it? You'll always need more. And more. And more.
Clutching need like a life raft ends today. It ends here. It ends now.
I need nothing. I have everything.
And you? What boat are you gonna burn?

My dreams these past few days cause me only anxiety.
The priestess who looks just like you, surrounded by young girls, goes somewhere far, far away, to a place that looks like the ends of the earth.
You, or the priestess, no longer smiles sadly like she used to, simply standing there like an empty shell. Her body is covered with countless tattoos, so that I can no longer see her beautiful skin, and the sight is so heartbreaking that my breath catches in my throat. All the while, the priestess is led by the hand by a young girl, taken in her cage to a place out of reach.
I shouldn't know what happens to her after that, but I can tell that I will never see her again and awake in despair, relieved to find that it was a dream.
When all of my dreams are this bad, is "dream" the correct term for them? On one hand I want to tell Dr. Asou about them, but I feel like to do so would mean doing something I could never take back, and it makes me hesitant to speak of it.
I finally took the time to write you, but everything seems to be going this way lately.
I intend to visit the doctor's laboratory again today. I hope I can report something good to you.

Personally, I find it hard to pray "generic" prayers for the leaders who are dealing with the Ebola Crisis. I like details. It helps me to pray for people by name. Here are the names of some of the key leaders who need our prayer during this Ebola crisis. Please pray for two or three of these individuals by name each day this week. Thanks!
(Note, these are just some of the most prominent names in the fight against Ebola. I may try to find the names of more of the local leaders on the ground in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea so we can be praying for them as well.)
God please grant wisdom, grace and strength to:
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Liberia
Ernest Bai Koroma, President of Sierra Leone
Alpha Condé, President of Guinea
Dr Margaret Chan, World Health Organization (WHO) Director General
Tom Frieden, Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Director
Dr. Frank Mahoney, head of the CDC response team in Liberia
