Demystifying Pipelines/
Nothing has galvanized the professional protesting class quite like the campaign to stop construction of the Dakota Access pipeline. The #NoDAPL protests at Standing Rock last year drew thousands of people from around the world, many of them from unrelated "social justice" movements like Black Lives Matter, "standing in solidarity with the water protectors at Standing Rock."
These protests have spawned a growing number of similar disruptions at pipeline construction sites around the country and have even led to demonstrations at bank branches of the institutions financing pipelines and other oil and gas infrastructure projects.
What's most troubling about this "beautiful resistance," as some are calling it, is that it's built entirely on myth and mythology. Take the battle cry of the movement—"Kill the Black Snake." It's derived from "an ancient Lakota prophecy about a black snake that would slither across the land, desecrating the sacred sites and poisoning the water before destroying the Earth." The black snake is question is, of course, the Dakota Access pipeline.
But even though the mythology of the movement is attracting all manner of violent extremists and self-serving hypocrites, the facts are getting in the way of their collective effort to "keep it in the ground." And we don't need to look any further than Standing Rock itself to see just how badly these protestors have mangled the facts.
The heart of the anti-pipeline case against DAPL is that the pipeline would desecrate sacred Native American land and that "the mere presence of oil in the pipeline, separate and apart from any leak in the pipeline, under their sacred waters [of Lake Oahe] will render those waters ritually impure and, therefore, unsuitable for use in their religious sacraments." (Emphasis added.)
But nothing could be further from the truth.
First, the pipeline simply is not on Standing Rock Sioux land. According to DAPLPipelineFacts.com, "99.98% of the pipeline is installed on privately owned property in North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Illinois. The remaining 0.02% of the land is owned by the Federal Government. The Dakota Access Pipeline does not enter or cross the Standing Rock Sioux reservation at any point."
Second, if the mere presence of pipelines "under the sacred waters" of Lake Oahe will render those water "ritually impure," then that water has been impure since 1982. That's when the first of eight other pipelines were installed under Lake Oahe. This includes two parallel 42-inch pipelines that have been operating safely under the lake bed for 35 years. People may not be aware of these other pipelines because—much like the 2.4 million miles of pipelines crisscrossing America—they are operating efficiently and safely 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
And by way of comparison, while the existing eight pipelines are buried a few feet beneath the lake bed, DAPL is safely ensconced at least 92 feet below the bottom of the lake, so concerns about a debilitating leak are misplaced, to say the least.
These are just two of the countless misrepresentations by the #NoDAPL protesters, but they clearly demonstrate that the anti-pipeline movement is driven by emotion and mythology and have little regard for facts.
But facts are stubborn things. Here are just a few important facts about pipelines that you can cite when discussing the vital role this critical infrastructure plays in our modern way of life.
With 2.4 million miles of oil and natural gas pipelines, the U.S. has the largest network of pipelines in the world. These pipelines not only deliver gasoline, home heating oil, and natural gas but also transport the crude oil to refineries and chemical plants to create the petrochemicals needed for everything from seatbelts to cell phones to medical supplies to car seats.
Pipelines move a lot of oil and natural gas every single day. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration, "To move the volume of even a modest pipeline, it would take a constant line of tanker trucks, about 750 per day, loading up and moving out every two minutes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
Pipelines move all of that oil and natural gas safely. According to recent testimony by Rep. Jeff Denham (R-CA), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines and Hazardous Materials, "Pipelines are the safest and most cost-effective means to transport the extraordinary volumes of … liquid products that fuel our economy. Since 1986, the volume of energy products transported through pipelines has increased by one-third, yet the number of reportable incidents has decreased by 28 percent."
Pipelines are a critical part of the infrastructure that makes our electric, agricultural, manufacturing, and transportation systems possible—to list just a few. Ironically, their ubiquity and safety mean that too many people take them for granted, or worse, fall prey to the hysterical manipulations of extremists with more time than intellect at their disposal.

After the increasing popularity of handmade products and DIYs, it seems that customers are now, more than ever, interested in designers and online shopping. With every purchase, they look for a "shopping experience". Inspired: London, a Guide to Handmade in London allows customers to meet designers, closing the gap between the producer and the buyer. The guide was created by Mary McDermott, owner of We Make London, a series of regular craft events across the city, after she spotted a rise in the interest in handmade products in the UK. From clothing to art, and detailed information about their creators, this guide helps you getting in touch with people that hand make products in London. The book aims to support local businesses and includes a useful directory of almost 100 organisations, suppliers, independent shops and designer-maker markets.

New Trends in Personalized Medicine and Insurance Implications
If the insurance industry is informed about medical advancements, a huge advantage arises for future underwriting with regards to calculating ratings for specific diseases and also creating digital application forms with simplified underwriting.
A Blood Test Can't Detect Cancer, Can It?
We began 2018 with some promising news on cancer: A simple blood test can now detect disease in eight common sites. Called the CancerSEEK test, it was developed at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, and may herald a new age in cancer medicine
Underwriting Gems: Total Bilirubin and RDW
In recent years, we have learned a great deal about the insurability implications of two common tests: total bilirubin and a component of the CBC called the red blood cell distribution index (RDW).

Edit: I just realised from Syen's post today that this costs as much as a NARS blush. Whoa.
This is one of those impossible to swatch and / or photograph blushers. See how peachy it is in the photo above? Well... it's not really that colour, but no matter what settings I used or how I tried, or what lighting, the pictures never turned out any better. So I went online and found this photo of the blush's shade:
It's not really that colour either. This one's too pink. The first is too peachy. I'd say my best description is that in the pan it's somewhere in between - a mix of both pink and peachy tones.
When I first got this blush my reaction was "meh, another Orgasm dupe", and besides the fact that it isn't as shimmery, my first impression wasn't that far off. Yet day after day I found myself reaching for this blush increasingly because it's one of those "no-blush, blushers". What am I nattering on about? Well, it gives you a pretty flush, makes your cheekbones pop, and yet you won't notice the blush, you'll notice YOU.Packaging & Texture
I was surprised and a little disappointed at the cheap, light plastic feel of this blush. After the hefty weight of the lipglosses and lipsticks, I expected this blush to have the same, luxe feel. Although it looks sleek and pricey however, the case is light and flimsy.
The blush however is top quality, very finely milled and not in the slightest bit powdery.
Luminizing finish
This is where the blush really gets special. At first, I thought it was a straight up matte blush, but then I realised that wasn't it either. It does have some sheen - but no more than the natural sheen of healthy skin. You know, that elusive finish we've all heard of, seen on girls we envy to death, but can't actually achieve. Well this blush brings my cheekbones one step closer. It is, in a sense, a "luminous finish".
Ah, once again we run into a problem. It's (as the pics show) an inbetweeny colour. One that goes well with red, berry, pink or peach lips. It's more warm than cool though, and will not go with very cool pinks or mauve lippies.
It looks pigmented but is actually quite sheer and hard to overdo. It's not so sheer though that you find youself swiping your brush on pan and cheek with frustration. This makes it great for those mornings when you're in a rush and can't afford mistakes but at the same time, are too rushed to be careful. This is a natural look:
Despite its sheer finish I find the blush does last through the day easily when layered over Revlon Colorstay.
Much as I love this blush, I'm not convinced it's worth its RM105 price tag. Yes it's a lovely blush, yes it makes my cheekbones pop and looks pretty and natural, but I'm sure you can find similarly great blushes in the RM70-90 range. RM105 just seems, rather high. However I do love this blush and it's earned a place in my daily stash.

Christmas Art
Tis the year my wife (Mary) became artistic. It was never her thing before but for some reason this year she found out she loves to paint pictures. Last night she painted a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree and it came out really good. I'm guessing our house will be filled with all kinds of new paintings over the next many years. This however made me wonder about how so often we don't really know what new things we will discover about ourselves until we try them. I know many times throughout my life I have discovered new hobbies, skills and passions simply because I came in contact with them through someone or some need that forced it upon me. So keep on the lookout for that next thing in your life that just may be something that will bring you and others much joy.
Christmas Crafts
This is also the year we decided to be more frugal and make crafts and gifts for everyone we normally buy for. Again this has mostly been Mary, she has been making Christmas wreaths, decorative Christmas bowls filled with treats, and many Christmas decorations (some gifts and some for us). I wish I knew how many glue sticks she has pushed through that hot glue gun. It's been a lot of fun and it has saved us some money but all in all I think the biggest benefit to this is the thought that goes into each gift as you truly dwell on what the person your giving it to might enjoy. It really does take gift giving to another level and cause you to focus on what this is all about and just how much these people mean to you.
Re-Reading Great Books
I used to never re-read a book, my thought was always based on time, we are only given so much time in this life and there are only so many books you can read in a lifetime so I thought I should read as many great books as I can. However over the the years my thoughts about this have changed as my thoughts about most things have. I now consider great books a real blessing and I truly treasure reading them more than once. I just finished a book that I have read four times now, Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe.
I LOVE this book, it just has so much to offer. Even though it is a work of fiction I have learned so much from it and have truly been inspired in so many ways. It has taught me the value of patience and perseverance in this life as I witness Crusoe plug away at the mundane chores of his existence in order to build a sustainable life. It has taught me the value of friendship as I see Crusoe struggle with loneliness and then make a friend who sticks by his side for life. It teaches me the value of a relationship with Christ and the value of evangelism as I get a glimpse of Robinson Crusoe's christian struggles and eventually the conversion of his good friend Friday.
If you have never read this book I highly recommend it, it truly is a classic and a treasure. If you have read it and it's been a few years then you may want to re-read it. The book has not changed but I can assure you that you have changed and you will get something different from it each time you read it.

Funny story. Our basement floods a little every year in the spring. I think that a lot of people around here have slight problem with basement water, the houses being so old and all. So when earlier this week we had a massive thaw and a bunch of rain, the mr preemptively set up the sub pump to keep the water away. All day he was checking the pump and all day it poured butthe basement stayed dry. He turned it off that night after it had stopped raining. We woke up to the most beautiful bright blue sky, the temperature so warm that I didn't need to wear a jacket and to 3 inches of water in the basement. STUPID!!!!! But that happened and yeah. The mr spent a good few hours moving all of our stuff, (we store a lot of stuff in the basement) shop vac-ing and pumping up the water .He did such a good job that it was almost like it never happened. The only really wet thing was a big laundry basket of stuff. I wanted to wash itasap so it wouldn't mold so when I got home, into the washer it went. (the washer is in the basement too) Go to change the load to the dryer and guess what.. the mr took the washer machine house out of the main drain to use it for the shop vac, and no, we forgot to stick the hose back in. We re-flooded the mother F-ing basement!!!!!AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
But it's kinda funny right?
Anyway the week has been heavy on the crazy. My Dad has been here so we have been spending a lot of time with the family doing family things all week. Over at the house we have pretty much gutted the kitchen (anyone want free kitchen cabinets?) and the mr is almost done muding the first floor. Once that happens we can move in (Just kidding... not even close) but we are well on our way. And the next project we tackle is going to be fun fun (rip the roof off!)
And the father of mine is leaving today, (which makes me a little sad) I have no kiddos in my care, the water from the basement is pretty much gone and I don't want to do a damn thing that involves work. It's a down day for sure. No people, no fuss. I have a new book on hold at the library, although I am kinda torn. Should I start a new book or binge watch Fuller House? (can I take more family drama?) Have you watched it yet? Do me a favor if you have, let me know if it's going to ruin the Tanner family for me.
Hoping your day, as well as mine, is gong to be a good one!

Republicans Stepping Down from Congress
January 9, 2010 at 4:08 am Leave a comment
I keep seeing headlines about 2 Democrats leaving. Two Dems out of 58 is about 3%. 6 Republicans are leaving – that's a 15% loss.
In the House, 11 out of 256 Democrats are stepping down – about 4%. 14 out of 178 Republicans – about 8%.
On a related note: Go to Google, click News. Search for "Senator step down" and you'll find thousands of hits talking about the two Dems stepping down. Now look through those results and see how many headlines are about the six Republicans stepping down. None? Tell me again about 'liberal media'.

Hey, welcome. Consider following MSV on Twitter and subscribing to the RSS feed, or sign up for email updates right over here.
There are big flavors everywhere you turn in this tempeh sandwich.
Starting with the protein, there's not really any subtlety with the tempeh here. No gently enhancing its characteristics. Instead, you'll hit it with a good dose of Dijon-style mustard and fresh rosemary, plus a little tamari and sugar. The result is robust and heads straight for your pleasure center with no careful tasting required. Look at that gorgeous stuff.
Next, you'll add sauerkraut. It may already seem like there's a lot of acid piling up, but remember that between the tempeh, tahini, rosemary, and wheat bread, you have a lot of earthy and bitter elements in here that can stand up to the vinegar. The tahini gets a generous addition of lemon, but in the context of the sandwich, it keeps things bright without being sour (that's what the sauerkraut is for, of course). Along with the lemon, a nice sprinkling of smoked paprika is all you need to make this dead-simple tahini sauce your new favorite sandwich condiment.
Come fall, you may want to eat little else.
Rosemary-Dijon Tempeh Sandwiches with Sauerkraut and Smoky Tahini Sauce
makes 2 large or 4 smaller sandwiches
For the tempeh:
8 oz tempeh
1 TBSP olive oil
1 TBSP Dijon-style mustard
1 TBSP water
1 tsp reduced-sodium tamari
1 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 tsp natural cane sugar (evaporated cane juice)
salt and freshly cracked black pepper
For the tahini sauce:
2 TBSP tahini
2 TBSP lemon juice
2 TBSP water
1/4 tsp fine sea or kosher salt
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
To serve:
wheat bread
Begin by preparing the tempeh. Turn the block on its thin side and carefully slice in half. Leaving both halves still stacked, place the block back in landscape position (long end toward you), and cut in half. Cut each half on the diagonal to make eight triangles.
Place tempeh triangles in a dish in a single layer. Sprinkle a generous pinch or so of salt over them and repeat with freshly cracked black pepper. Whisk together oil, mustard, water, tamari, rosemary, and sugar. Pour slowly over tempeh and spread it out to cover the surface entirely. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let marinate 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, carefully whisk together all tahini sauce ingredients until smooth.
When tempeh is ready, heat a nonstick pan over medium heat until hot. Shake excess marinade off tempeh (there won't be much) before adding each triangle, marinated-side down, into the hot pan—it should sizzle at once. Let cook, undisturbed, four minutes (less if you start to smell danger of burning). While cooking, use the small amount of extra marinade to lightly coat the bare side of the tempeh while it cooks—proceed carefully, as the pan is hot and the oil can sputter. Flip tempeh and cook another four minutes, or until golden on the underside.
Assemble sandwiches, using a generous spoonful of tahini sauce for each, and grill or press until bread is crisp and golden. Serve at once.

Football News: Champ Man Legends Part 4: Kennedy Bakircioglu
Image from: freelargeimages.com
Kennedy Bakircioglu Championship Manager 01/02 Edition
All those that have played Championship Manager's 01/02 Edition will know of a hidden gem that can be bought in very cheap from Swedish football called Kennedy Bakircioglu. While his stats are not particularly impressive initially, at the age of 22, he makes rapid and massive gains to make him one of, maybe even the, best attacking midfielder in the game. Like so many in the older versions of the game, the reality has never matched up to the game version.
In 1972 an ethnic Assyrian family moved to Sweden from Midyat, Turkey as Christian Assyrians were being harassed in Turkey. Sari and Benjamin Bakircioglu moved to Sodertalje to join an Assyrian diaspora looking to escape the problems back home. There father Benjamin joined a newly created team, created by the diaspora, called Assyriska. Benjamin went on to become the teams record goalscorer and the proud father to Kennedy, named after US President John F Kennedy, in November 1980.
Unsurprisingly, with his father, Kennedy remembers his childhood as being all about sport, but mostly football as his father pushed him towards the game. With that in mind it is not exactly a shock that Kennedy ended up beginning his career with his father's club Assyriska, making his senior debut aged just 15 in 1996. It was not long before he was a regular with the club which played in the second tier in the Swedish league, where seasons run from January to December, rather than the more usual European season.
Things were not all plain sailing for the Swede as a training camp at the age of 17 saw him fear for his life when they travelled away with the entire squad. Three of them, Kennedy, Louay Chanko and Fredrik Samuelsson, headed to a shop to buy some sweets when they found themselves confronted by a large group of around 40-50 neo-Nazis, with shaven heads, military trousers and steel-capped boots. Samuelsson, being a blonde, was told to leave as the thugs did not want to 'risk the future of the white race'.
Chanko and Kennedy, who both had dark hair, were told that they did not belong in Sweden before the neo-Nazis all chanted 'Sieg Heil'. The pair made a run for it and managed to make it to the hotel as the rest of the team came out to rescue them and chased off the thugs after a brawl. Kennedy admitted in his autobiography 'Say oh, ah Kennedy' that he feared they would be killed by the gang.
Kennedy did go on to break one of his dad's records when he completed 51 senior appearances in a season, beating his dad's previous record of 49. The 1998 season was a breakthrough for him, in 25 league games he got 9 goals and 8 assists from an attacking midfield role, netting interest from clubs as diverse as Swiss side Lugano and, to his own surprise, Manchester United. Kennedy said: "When our chairman called and told me about their invitation, I thought he was joking." Kennedy's trial spell under the watchful eye of Alex Ferguson did not work out for him at his favourite Premier League side, so he ended up instead moving to another Swedish club, Hammarby IF.
Hammarby meant he was stepping up into the top flight and professional football, which he found initially to be a struggle due to injury problems. It took him until 1st of July to score his very first competitive goal for the club but he went on from strength to strength after that. At the end of the year he was voted "Allsvenskan Newcomer of the Year" after playing in 25 league games and scoring 2 goals. He also earned himself a place in the Swedish under 21 side.
The 2000 campaign saw him become a key component of manager Soren Cratz's team as an attacking midfielder behind 2 strikers. Hammarby finished the season in 8th with Kennedy making 26 league appearances and scoring 5 goals. The following season was even better for the young Swede as scored 8 goals and provided 7 assists in 26 games as Hammarby won their first ever league title with Kennedy lauded as player of the season by pundits.
The following season was difficult, Hammarby were reigning champions but they struggled badly and came nowhere near a title challenge and their attempt to get into the Champions League proper fell at the first hurdle. A 5-1 aggregate defeat at the hands of Serbian side FK Partizan did not help the confidence of the team who ended the season in 9th place in the Allsvenskan. Kennedy himself had a decent season as he notched 11 goals in 26 games. He did well enough to attract the interest of Turkish side Besiktas JK and he attended a meeting with Hammarby officials and Besiktas' sporting director and president about signing him, but the deal fell through.
Kennedy started the 2003 campaign on fire with 6 goals in the first 7 games as Hammarby put themselves back in the title race. With Hammarby top of the league, it all went wrong in September as he and Mikael Andersson were suspended by the club after turning down contract extensions. The suspensions were lifted after a few days, but it was too late for Hammarby, who had lost top spot to city rivals Djurgardens IF and were never able to regain it. While Andersson agreed a new contract, Kennedy never did and left on a Bosman at the end of the season. A year later in a vote, he was chosen as Hammarby's 4th best player of all time by the fans.
With the option to join Fenerbahce and Heerenveen on the table, instead he decided to link up with Swedish coach Mats Jingblad at Iraklis 1908 Thessaloniki in the Greek Superleague, signing a 2 and a half year deal on the 12th January 2004. He was unfortunate as Jingblad only lasted until May and Kennedy was used sparingly before leaving in 2005 during the summer transfer window to join Eredivisie side Twente.
This time Kennedy was shown that he was valued and was immediately thrown in as a first-team regular, it was here that he started to show signs of the quality that made him so highly rated a few years earlier. In his second season with Twente, he helped them to 4th place and qualification for the UEFA Cup with 15 goals in the league. Three teams came in for him as that 2006/7 season came to an end, PSV Eindhoven, SV Hamburg and Ajax, with De Telegraaf reporting on the 5th May 2007 that he had agreed terms with Ajax.
Ten days later, on the 15th, he officially signed for Ajax, at the age of 26 he signed a 4 year deal with Amsterdam club. He had played 82 times for Twente and scored 27 goals for the club prior to his move. His debut was equally impressive as his Twente stats as he scored in an 8-1 hammering at De Graafschap. The following summer Kennedy was first reserve for the Sweden squad that went to Euro 08, but he never made it into the tournament. In fact he never once made it to a major tournament with the Swedish team, despite making 14 appearances for the national side.
Returning to club duty was no better for Kennedy, with new manager Marco van Basten deeming him surplus to requirements, with Luis Suarez keeping him out of the side. Despite van Basten wanting to sell him, Kennedy decided to stay and fight for his place, but, after just 17 appearances in the next 2 seasons, Kennedy terminated his Ajax deal with one season left to run.
It was off to Spain's La Liga next for a now 29 year old Kennedy as he signed for relegation battlers Racing Santander. He joined them in early July on a 2 year deal, playing 32 times as he helped them avoid relegation. The 2011/12 season was a difficult one for Kennedy personally, as he struggled with an Achille's tendon injury and was unable to put together a decent run of games. It was worse for the club, who were relegated after 10 years in La Liga.
With his Santander contract at an end, Kennedy returned to Hammarby at the end of August 2012, who were now in the second tier of Swedish football. He was soon named captain and, in the 2014 season, led the team back into the top flight as top scorer with 17 goals. Moving deeper into central midfield to occupy a playmaking role, he was a regular for the next 2 seasons as Hammarby finished in 11th both years. Kennedy was now ageing, mid-30s and was given a 1 year contract, though he featured much more rarely than before.
This year, 2018, he signed his final Hammarby contract, for his final season with the club. While he spent most of it on the bench, he managed to make almost as much of an impact with just one moment as he had managed throughout his career. It brought him to the public attention in a way that almost equalled his virtual exploits on Champ Man when, on the 1st of October 2018 he came off the bench for Hammarby. With his team 2-0 up against Goteborg, they were awarded a free kick fully 30 yards from goal. Kennedy stepped up and scored a spectacular goal then ran off along the side of the pitch to celebrate with the fans as a plastic cup of beer came flying out of the crowd and right into his hand, where he drank it. Video of the incident soon went viral and he had his 15 minutes of real fame to add to his virtual moment.
Kennedy left Hammarby at the end of the season and was given a huge send off at the final game on 5th November. The club have also retired his number 10 for 10 years, though it is not just because of his play on the pitch, but also for what he did off the pitch. All through his career he has been one of those rare modern day players who donates his time willingly for hospital visits etc. He regularly donates his match worn boots and shirts to charity as well. It is probably part of the reason why he is a legend to Hammarby fans, where he has his own chant, oh, ah, Kennedy!
That chant became the title of his autobiography, 'Say oh, ah Kennedy', which he co-authored with Benny Haag. In it he admits that he cost himself a chance of achieving his potential by staying in Swedish football for too long and that he still has people approach him to tell him how good he was in the game. And he truly was good. In the game anyway.

This could be the saddest day for the whole Filipino community as well as the whole world! Today is the last day people could see our beloved President termed as the "Mother of Democracy", Mrs. Cory Aquino. The day of her burial, the day of tears, and the last day of thanks-giving!
News, TV programs, radio broadcasts, and newspapers were all devoted for her. More and more people were giving their respects and thankfulness to Cory. Seeing her burial parade with a crowd and sea of people, it reminds us of the 1986 People Power Revolution when she returned back the democracy in our hands! Same number of crowds (or probably surpassed) the burial parade of Ninoy Aquino, the loving husband of Cory.
This only proves the love of people to Cory. Cory showed to all of us that she is not only a lover of democracy but a lover of all the people in any kind (rich or poor, known or unknown)! She truly deserve this kind of respect, salute, and love Filipinos gave to her.
As part of my tribute to our Most-Loved Philippine President, I know you already heard this song. Yup, this is the poem Ninoy Aquino created to her wife Cory. Then eventually the poem turned into a melodic love song sang by Jose Mari Chan and became part of his album, "Constant Change". This same song was now revived by Christian Bautista and will be part of the compilation album of Kris Aquino to be dedicated to her mother.
The message of this song is really a remarkable one summarizing the love story of Ninoy and Cory. According to it, Ninoy fell in love with Cory the first time during their young age, the second time was when Cory gave birth to their children, and the third one was during their reunion from the battle! It's such a nice one!
So for all of us, here is the lyrics of the song (originated from a poem) dedicated by Ninoy to Cory. The song full of love, respect, and inspiration!
With tears, gratitude, and thankfulness in our heart, hope all of us learned and inspired from the life Cory showed to our country.
I Have Fallen In Love (With The Same Woman Three Times)
(Jose Mari Chan / Christian Bautista)
I have fallen in love
With the same woman three times
In a day spanning nineteen years
Of tearful joys and joyful tears.
I loved her first when she was young
Enchanting and vibrant, eternally new
She was brilliant, fragrant and cool as the morning dew
I fell in love with her the second time
When first she bore her child and mine
She's always by my side, the source of my strength
Helping to turn the tide…
I fell in love again with the same woman the third time
Looming from the battle her courage will never fade.
Amidst the hardships she has remained
Undaunted and unafraid
She is calm and composed. She is God's lovely maid

Many sport stars say they will do whatever it takes to succeed. But tennis player Simona Halep has gone to drastic measures in her bid to win Wimbledon — by having a breast reduction to improve her reaction times. And since going from a 34DD to a 34C aged 17, she has soared up the rankings — and is now seeded number three for Wimbledon, ahead of former champion Maria Sharapova. Scroll down for video. Simona Halep, left, before she underwent breast reduction surgery to improver her reaction times and right, after the operation.

If you've been following the art I've been posting in the last year, you can probably see that my work has taken a decidedly historical turn. There's a Portuguese word, saudade, that is used to refer to the longing or yearning for something in the past that might never return. I feel like I've lived my life half-obsessed by this sensation.
While there are amazing things in our present, it seems like there are far more amazing things in our past. Our art has become faster, and cheaper, with less attention to detail. The manuscripts I've been doing lately are not facsimiles of historical works of art. Though they take historical inspiration, they use modern design principles, and modern tools of the trade. Even so, they have allowed me to satisfy part of the craving I've had for too long, and slow down, illuminating each piece laboriously with hours of details.
I did some branding work for a friend recently and I felt like I had to rip myself bodily out of the cozy nest of nostalgia I've been living in. The creation of a perfect logo is its own art, but it has a different purpose: one tied up in an audience that by nature, will only see it for a moment, and will have to recognize it forever. Logos aren't meant to be marveled at, only lived with, like every day white cereal bowls. Manuscripts are like the fine China you break out at the holidays. They are meant to be beautiful, complemented, and appreciated for their rarity.
Perhaps the key is finding some balance between what people want to invest themselves in, and what people will remember at a glance. Either way, as always, art is its own wild ride.

The Grade 11 and Grade12 learners attended a mind training workshop facilitated by Samuel Lekalakala from the Universityof Johannesburg.
Everyone has the ability to use their mind, but how efficiently are you actually using your mind? This was the question posed to the Grade 11's on Tuesday during the Mind Training Workshop. The thing that stood out for me is the fact that our thinking shouldn't be along the lines of "I need to do this" or "I have to do this" but rather have the mindset of "I want to do this!"
There were many important aspects raised during the training. The one that had an impact on Dhanishta Andrews was, "It doesn't matter what you have in life. All that matters is your determination and the effort that you put into achieving your goals."
We as the learners would like to thank everyone involved for organising this workshop and I believe that there was something for each of us to learn from it. Dhriti Makanjee (Grade 11.1)
The Mind Training workshop is a programme run by the University of Johannesburg with the aim of increasing the number of distinctions produced by matric learners in Gauteng. They enlightened us about how the mind really works. Through a dynamic presentation, which included informative and thought provoking visuals, we were educated about the subconscious or unconscious mind. I learnt how to use my brains capacity optimally and I learnt a few tips which would improve my memory. We were told to carry out a 21 day programme . By following the necessary steps, we would reap the benefits of the mind training. This would ultimately assist the matrics in preparing for our finals. I found Nick Vujicic's ' 10 Rules for Success' particularly relevant as I prepare for final exams. Many of my peers felt motivated to achieve more at the end of the presentation. I believe that the mind training programme will prove to have a positive impact on the matric results. Sapna Fakir (Grade 12)

TALK caters to parents with high expectations and standards. Our philosophy is to make therapy fun so that children can advance quickly; at TALK your child will play and progress. With over 20 years of experience and rigorous continuing education standards, you can be confident that your child is receiving the highest quality therapy with innovative approaches while parents find a quiet moment to relax in our specially designed offices.
All parents worry about their child's development. You want them to grow up to be all they can possibly be. Sometimes that worry is warranted, other times it is not. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association created this list of developmental milestones to help you understand where your child is in their journey. If your child is not progressing like you feel they should, or they exhibit any of the challenges listed below, we can help.
With over 20 years of experience in the field of Speech-Language Therapy, TALK offers the most current therapy, backed by the most current research, for delays and disorders in the following areas:
Early Childhood Sign Language is a wonderful way to accelerate your child's language development. We start with children as young as 8 months old and begin laying the scaffolding to a lifetime of strong speech and language skills. Babies that can sign experience less frustration because they can communicate their needs with confidence. Signing with your baby is also a great bonding experience, enabling the entire family to engage in this precious and fleeting period of life.
Childhood Apraxia of Speech is TALK's area of expertise. Heather Hamilton, Owner of TALK has spent years pursuing additional training in how best to remediate this disorder in children. While expert training in specific apraxia treatment is crucial, a child's success in apraxia therapy is profoundly impacted by their family's understanding of the disorder and their direct support of the child who is struggling to communicate. The core philosophy of TALK is to engage families in the process of speech therapy in a way that works. The combination of TALK's therapy expertise, setting and philosophy is the combination of elements your child needs for success.
Receptive Language is a child's ability to understand what is said to them. Some signs that your child may be having difficulty with receptive language or processing include:
- Difficulty following one-step or multi-step directions
- Not answering questions, or responding with yes/no instead of a meaningful answer
- Repeating part of what you say
- Understanding single word or short sentences but not longer age-appropriate sentences
Expressive Language refers to how you use language to communicate thoughts, ideas, and needs. Expressive language is using words, grammar, and sentence structure to communicate. It does not refer to how words are produced by the mouth (e.g. sound errors). A child with an expressive language delay may:
- Only using single words or shorter sentences than are age appropriate
- Have errors of grammar (e.g. incorrect word endings, incorrect word order, leaving words out of a sentence)
- Get easily frustrated when trying to communicate or rely heavily on gestures and showing things instead of using spoken language
- Have a small vocabulary relative to peers
- Not be using words by 12-18 months of age
- Not be combining words by 24 months of age
Articulation refers to the way sounds are produced by the mouth. Children can have a mild speech delay that impacts their ability to say one or two sounds, or a more severe delay or disorder that effects many sounds. All children have sound errors in their speech as they are developing. However, it is expected that sounds will be mastered by a certain age. It might be worthwhile to have TALK screen or evaluate your child if:
- Their speech is unclear to others
- People have a hard time understanding them on the phone
- They are becoming frustrated with speaking because they are frequently not understood
- You are noticing none of their peers have the same sound errors
- With older children if their spoken speech sound error(s) show up in writing (e.g., If your child says w instead of r they may also spell words with w in the place of r. An example would be wed instead of red.)
Executive Function refers to a set of mental skills that impact a person's ability to organize and regulate. Challenges with executive function include difficulty with:
- Inhibiting actions
- Restraining or delaying responses
- Selectively attending
- Setting goals
- Planning
- Organizing
- Completing tasks
- Switching focus
- Memory
When an individual has issues with executive function any task that requires planning, organization, time management, memory or flexible thinking can be quite difficult. Individuals with executive function disorder struggle to:
- Analyze a task and assess what needs to be done
- Plan how to handle the task
- Break down the steps necessary to complete a task
- Determine the time needed to complete a task
- Gather necessary materials for a task
- Initiate
- Follow a plan to complete a task
- Adhere to time constrains
- Complete a task
TALK is specially trained to address executive function challenges.
Speech-Language Pathologists are critical in helping to remediate Phonological Awareness Skill Deficits and Reading Disorders
- Phonological Awareness is a set of skills that typically develop during preschool and kindergarten.They relate to a child's awareness of sounds in a language. Children need to be able to hear the individual sounds in words, break them down and manipulate them. Examples include rhyming, blending and deleting sounds from words. It is CRITICAL that your child's Phonological Awareness skills are targeted directly if your child has a history of speech sound production delays or if they are exhibiting delays in acquiring any pre-reading skills. Early intervention in this area will prevent reading, spelling and written language delays in your child's future.
- Reading Disorders: There are fundamental connections between spoken and written language. It is critical that intervention for language disorders target written as well as spoken language needs. As with difficulty in learning to listen and speak, difficulty in learning to read and write can involve any of the components of language (i.e., phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics). Children and adults may have difficulty with the production, comprehension, and awareness of language at the sound, syllable, word, sentence, and discourse levels. Reading and writing problems also may lead to difficulties using language strategically to communicate, think, and learn.
TALK has special training in literacy assessment and intervention.
There are a variety of Other disorders that TALK treats. They include, but are not limited to, the following:
- If you or your child frequently repeat sounds or words when speaking it may be a Stuttering Disorder.
- Children and adults with a hoarse voice, that is not secondary to a cold or allergies, may have a Voice Disorder.

Otherworldly Evil Monarch - Chapter 252
Chapter 252: Brother Mo Xie Playing a Handsome Hoodlum!
Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga
''The Tang stock in the Aristocratic Hall is mine; it's Tang Yuan's personal money! The Tang
Family has nothing to do with it. I have no opinion about your desire to present this wine to His
Majesty, the Emperor. However, I cannot sustain a loss on the one hundred remaining bottles
that I own. Therefore, Third Prince can purchase them by paying the base price if he really
desires. However, I have no comment on how he plans to obtain the remaining two hundred
bottles.'' Tang Yuan repeated the lines he had learnt by heart.
The Third Prince's voice and appearance was stern, but Fatty Tang didn't care much for him
from the start. Fatty didn't shout-back even though the Prince had dropped to a lowly status by
trying to force others. In reality, Tang Yuan would've already exploded if he had not received
instructions by Young Master Jun's ''sound''!
As for these words spoken by Fatty just now it was Jun Mo Xie who had used his secret
technique to transmit these lines to Tang Yuan's ears. Fatty Tang had listened to these words,
and had repeated them slowly.
However, did the Third Prince really wish to pay the base price for these hundred bottles? The
base price for a hundred of these bottles would be around three million in silver, and the Third
Prince did not have that kind of spare cash. This Fatty was a big dandy. However, he had the
Tang Family behind him. His grandfather and the Prince's father had really good relations.
Therefore, the Third Prince wouldn't be able to obtain those hundred bottles for cheap if this
Fatty was truly being earnest. Hence, he decided to let it be, even though the price wasn't low.
The Prince didn't wish to spur trouble with the Fatty, even though the Fatty wasn't exactly
being kind to him.
The Third Prince pondered on this for a while and then suddenly burst into loud and clear
laughter. He then said, ''Very good! This Prince will get the remaining two hundred bottles of
this extraordinary wine stored in his carriage if chief auctioneer Tang has no objections
regarding them. It is important that this Prince presents his father with this huge gift. And I
will surely give credit to the Aristocratic Hall for such a contribution!''
''Did you finish your play's dialogue, Third Majesty?'' a lazy voice resounded from upstairs.
Everyone looked up only to see the Young Master Jun dressed in his gown. His pretty face belied
his somewhat angry mood. He took one large step on to the railing. His legs were almost fully
upright as he looked down and sneered at the Third Prince.
''What do you mean Young Master Jun? How on earth am I performing in a play?'' The Third
Prince's expression sank.
''What do I mean? I think I should inform the Third Prince that your performance is not
pleasant to hear.''
Jun Mo Xie gave a rogue smile, ''Fatty Tang is merely the chief auctioneer of the Aristocratic
Hall. This boy is the actual boss of the Aristocratic Hall! Moreover, this Young Master owns a
hundred bottles out of those three hundred! All this man can see is someone who's trying to
take away my share without willing to pay for it. You want to take these away? That's fine.
However, I, your father demand the highest price which has been bid up till now. I suppose this
is required even if the grandson is daring to give away his grandfather's belongings!''
Jun Mo Xie had wickedly and skillfully changed his own designation around five times in his
accusation. He had gone from 'boy', to this 'this Young Master' to 'man' to 'father' before
finally settling on 'grandfather'.
Shockingly, he hadn't set aside even a little bit of respect for the Emperor's own son.
''This kid is mad!'' Dugu Wudi's spirits rose as he exclaimed to his daughter, ''This is new to me.
But is this boy really that bold? Damn! His words make me comfortable! It's been a while since
I've seen something this rare! He is truly worthy of being called Elder Brother Jun's son! His
father was a hero, but this guy's got guts too!''
Dugu Wudi was somewhat touched in his heart. [Jun Mo Xie is staring blankly right now. It
seems as if his brain hasn't yet processed his own words. However, this requires a lot of
courage! He is standing-in for the youthful vigor of his family. My sons wouldn't dare to speak
like this even if they were beaten to death. But Jun Mo Xie has! This one incident has proven
that he far exceeds my sons and nephews; regardless of the fact whether he has brain or not!]
[This boy must be drunk. But still, how could he say such a thing so causally?]
[Leaving aside the fact that he's just a boy even a great general wouldn't have been able to
say something like this in this manner!]
''Daddy, can't you speak without cursing for even once? Can't you speak a little gracefully? At
least appear a little bit like nobility!''
Dugu Xiao Yi snorted as she playfully protested her father's vulgar language. She felt that his
vulgarity was somehow too much for this environment. Then, she stretched out her finger and
continued in a shy manner, ''Daddy, I really like looking at brother Mo Xie playing the hoodlum.
And just look how handsome he is! Even his bearing is extremely graceful. The magnanimity
spoken of in legends and lore cannot surpass his chivalry.''
The Great General Dugu Wudi was completely dumbfounded. [Is there no justice? I used profane
words, and she was discontent. But, now that this youngster is shamelessly playing a hoodlum
he is graceful and handsome?!What kind of magnanimity has he displayed to leave her so
mesmerized?] Although he hadn't read a lot of books, he had a rough idea what the meaning
behind these words was.
[What is this? Even the lover of the poet Pan Yue wouldn't describe this in such an outrageous
manner! The difference in the way she's treating us is too great, right? She's simply favoring
him too much, isn't she?]
''What is the meaning of this Young Master Jun? Are you are disagreeing to gift these bottles to
my father, the Emperor? The Emperor only concerns himself with the welfare of the nation, and
exhausts himself both physically and mentally over it. Is my father not worthy enough in
Young Master Jun's eyes? Not even for you to offer him your wine? Hmm?''
The Third Prince coldly looked up at Jun Mo Xie. He seemed to be looking at Jun Mo Xie humbly.
However, he only saw viciousness in the Hitman's eyes.
''It doesn't matter to me! I am running a business here. And this place isn't called the
'Benevolent Hall'! One simply can't come in here and bully us!''
An ominous light returned to Hitman Jun's eyes as he snorted in a cold manner, ''I must
question the Third Prince's intentions. When Fatty Tang said that he would not offer you his
stock, and that you would have to buy it you did not do anything. However, now that the
stock of this fine wine is under this Young Master's name you think you can handle it as you
wish? I didn't know that the Third Prince looked at me as someone who will be fun to bully!
Perhaps he looks at my entire Jun Family as someone who is easy to bully? I believe that
everyone here can see through the ridiculousness you disguise as the so-called 'right and
wrong', 'the fair and equitable justice' and 'the will of the people'...Third Prince, Your Majesty...
this Young Master must question in this regard!''
Young Master Jun's voice was full of righteousness as he raised his head, ''My Jun Family
prefers to break over bending! We are ready to suffer a hundred calamities and still remain
unyielding! The Third Prince has insulted my Jun family in front of so many people today! He
has insulted us without reason, and all these people are a witness to it! How can I control these
emotions under such circumstances?''
Jun Mo Xie sounded sad and indignant as he continued, ''I feel sorry for my Jun Family, for we
have sacrificed so much for this country. My old grandfather has valiantly fought in the
country's service his whole life! My father and second uncle gave up their lives for the nation;
even their remains don't exist anymore! My third uncle was disabled for life in that carnage!
My two elder brothers also made the ultimate sacrifice, and died an untimely death! My entire
family has bathed in blood in an unyielding effort to safeguard this nation until their death.
They spend their entire life on a saddle. They gave their all. And then they died! Now, the Jun
Family is in its decline and has become very desolate. However, you still come over and
flagrantly dishonor us?! Where is the heaven's justice?
''May I ask the Third Prince what is the reason behind all this? Are you just taking advantage
of our situation? Or are you targeting us in secrecy? Third Majesty, how can the most faithful
servants of the crown not be disappointed and disillusioned when you act like this? You act
oppressive, and disgrace this whole family of loyal soldiers over a trivial matter of a few wine
bottles! Moreover, you strike you father's banners, and use your powerful position to suppress
others as you please. You! You! You! You!... What are you trying to do!? What have the Jun's
done to deserve this?''
The Young Master Jun had just added a completely different flavor to the frying pan. He had
clearly added an emotional and political layer to this whole matter. He had cleverly twisted this
situation, and had then brought that frying pan right above the Prince's head. The Third Prince
had never faced this kind of an opponent. He was left panting, while his complexion turned
deep reddish-purple. He had realized that his reply was somehow wrong. Hence, he did not
dare to say anything for a moment.
''My Jun Family...has been wrongly accused.'' The Young Master Jun's voice became shrill as he
choked with emotions. He held the railing to support himself while he trembled. Then, with a
long sigh he looked up; his face resembled a beautiful lotus which had been abandoned.
Eventually, he stationed himself upright once again...
Those who had heard the desolation in his voice... soon turned mournful in their hearts. It was
like the winter snow had rained-in on the summer night the injustice of it couldn't be borne.
The Third Prince had been completely outplayed. He had almost spit dozens of units of blood on
his opponent in anger.
Everyone was dumbstruck.
They all stared at Jun Mo Xie. [How did he do that? He just publicly criticized the Third Prince,
and too in such a terrifying manner!] They had witnessed the Third Prince distorting the truth
and acting tyrannical just moments ago. And they had though that he was being outrageous.
However, now they had seen the Young Master Jun do the same, but not a wisp of that earlier
feeling prevailed. These two men were simply beyond comparison!
This youngster had truly distorted the facts; he had confused the right from the wrong, and had
actually created something where there was nothing to begin with. He was a true master of the
Dugu Wudi had just burst out in laughter. However, Dugu Xiao Yi covered his mouth with her
hand before his laugh could even properly escape it. Her eyes were full of anger. The entire
matter would go down the drain if he were to laugh. Dugu Xiao Yi's heart thumped madly. She
had only aimed to shut his mouth, but hadn't paid attention and was actually preventing her
father from breathing. She was choking him; so much so that it could've easily led to an
unfortunate event.
Dugu Wudi forcefully removed his daughter's hand from his mouth. His breath whistled as he
deeply sucked in air before coughing violently. He then scolded her in a low voice, ''You, girl...do
you wish to murder your own father?!''
The two black clad people sitting behind Princess Ling Meng were men of exceedingly high
skill. It was a pity that commoners didn't have the wisdom they did. However, even they were
completely flabbergasted. They saw the snot and the tears on Jun Mo Xie's face, and felt a sense
of inferiority. [That face of his has surpassed all the legends, and has shaken the heavens! I am
truly not as good as him! ]
The Third Prince panted since he found it difficult to breath. Then, he finally controlled after a
while. However, it seemed as if his eyes would shoot flames. He gnashed his teeth as he looked
towards Jun Mo Xie and said, ''Since this is the case, this Prince will leave your hundred bottles
alone! But, you should have no problems regarding the remaining hundred, right?''
''That matter does not concern me. I am not the person you should be asking regarding the last
hundred bottles!'' Jun Mo Xie suddenly changed; it was obvious from his face that it was no
longer his concern, ''That stock is the Prince Equivalent's son Yang Mo's share. What does
that have anything to do with me?'' [Humph...add to the fire...bully him...]
''Yang Mo! You leave him to me!'' The Third Prince was very flustered. Moreover, he wanted to
retrieve some honor. Therefore, he shouted loudly. Everyone shook their heads. Unexpectedly,
he wasn't demonstrating the graceful demeanor an Imperial Prince should in such situations;
in fact, he his behavior had started to disgust many people...
''What... what do you want?'' Yang Mo trembled as he raised his head to expose himself.
''Will you give the hundred bottles under your name to your uncle, the Emperor? Will you be
willing to do it?'' the Third Prince asked in an oppressive manner as he looked coldly at Yang

I launched my first version of Exercise Your Beauty back in January 2012 and since then it, as well as myself, have done a lot of evolving. I am very proud to be relaunching it now in its current form. For the past year and a half I have been extremely blessed to have the opportunity to share my passion for the science behind the movement at the college level; I felt that this site needed to reflect my connection to the science and give it a platform to combine that with the art and sound of human locomotion.
A good friend of mine reminded me the other day that January is named for the Roman god Janus, who famously is portrayed with two faces, one looking to the past and one looking to the future. I am very fortunate to have had the experiences that I have had up to this point, whether good or bad they have served a purpose, and I can build upon those in the future. So to new beginnings...the year is young, take advantage and climb towards your goals! I hope you enjoy the new look/format...please let me know what you think! Happy 2014!

Huntsman fourth-quarter results top Wall Street expectations
THE WOODLANDS — Huntsman returned to a profit in its fourth quarter, as the prior-year period included a bigger loss on early debt extinguishment.
Its adjusted earnings and revenue topped Wall Street's view.
The chemical company's stock rose more than 6 percent in Tuesday premarket trading.
For the three months ended Dec. 31, Huntsman earned $41 million, or 17 cents per share. That compares with a loss of $40 million, or 17 cents per shares, a year earlier.
The year-ago period included a $78 million loss on early debt extinguishment, while the current quarter's was $16 million.
Excluding certain items, earnings were 48 cents per share.
Analysts polled by FactSet expected earnings of 37 cents per share.
Revenue increased 3 percent to $2.71 billion from $2.62 billion. Wall Street predicted $2.69 billion in revenue.
Revenue climbed for the polyurethanes, pigments and performance products units, thanks in part to higher sales volumes. Revenue for the textile effects division also rose on increased sales volumes and higher average selling prices.
Advanced materials revenue fell mostly because of lower sales volumes.
Full-year net income declined 65 percent to $128 million, or 53 cents per share, from $363 million, or $1.51 per share, in the previous year. Annual revenue dipped 1 percent to $11.08 billion from $11.19 billion.
Shares of Huntsman Corp. gained $1.22, or 5.5 percent, to $23.35 in premarket trading 2

Actress-model Molly Sims who is one of the hottest Hollywood moms has a second bundle of joy in her life. On Wednesday Sims and her husband Scott Stuber welcomed their second child.
Sims took to social networking site Instagram to share the same. She posted a photo along with a caption, "We welcome Scarlett May Stuber into our family. Our hearts are bigger with you here."
Earlier in the month of September Sims tweeted, "I absolutely cannot wait to see what life will be like as a mother to a toddler and a newborn, and I really can't wait to see Brooks as an older brother to Baby #2! I just know that [Brooks is] going to be preciously protective."

This week I will be discussing the possible advantages of early application vs regular application.
Some schools believe it or not have higher acceptance rates for early application than regular application. Having said that I would encourage you to apply early if you know what school you really want to attend.
Also, many schools if they do not accept you in the early application process they will automatically put you into the regular application process for another chance of acceptance.
If you go to the school website and look around really good at the acceptance rates for early and regular applications some will give you those percentage rates. You will see for yourself if you have a better chance of getting in with an early application.
I personally looked at one school and noted that the early acceptance rate was 82% while the regular acceptance was 54%.
I know this is a small tip but it may help. Especially if you know where you want to attend. So be sure to check into early application. Usually they start accepting early applications in November.

Fancy Dress for Joes Who Hate Dressing Up
Last updated on May 24th, 2016 at 10:15 am
With Halloween coming up, it's inevitable that you're probably heading to a fancy dress party – or at the very least have been invited to one. For many Joes, this strikes unspeakable fear and will mean they'll do almost anything to avoid wearing anything that's not come straight out of their wardrobe. But we're here to help with some easy fancy dress ideas for Joes who hate dressing up with minimal cost, minimal make-up and minimal hair styling!
One of the easiest and, more importantly, one of the coolest options on our list is a 50s beatnik. All you need is Black trousers, a Black turtle-neck jumper, Black shoes and a Black beret – all of which should be readily available on your local High Street. Add some rimmed glasses, a moustache and some Early Learning Centre bongos if you want to go all out. The only issue you just might need to go looking in the Janes section for the turtle-neck!
Another option which should be readily available from virtually any party shop is a fireman outfit. We like it because you don't need make-up or any special hair style – all you really need is a toy fireman hat. Janes also seem to particularly enjoy it too – which is always nice!
Breaking Bad
Dressing up as Walter White has become a firm favourite of Joes up and down the country of late and we can see why. The iconic yellow boiler suit from Breaking Bad is our pick of all the options. Not only can you get it pretty much everywhere, you can also wear some comfortable clothes underneath. Minimal effort, cheap and looks pretty bloody awesome!
A classic favourite among students around the UK, dressing up as a golfer usually accompanies downing pints for a hole-in-one. While we can't condone that sort of fun behaviour… *cough*… we think the golfer look is a corking idea if you're short of ideas and are on a budget. The only items you might need to buy are a vest jumper – preferably with a pattern – to go over a polo, a White glove and a flat cap. An inflatable club couldn't hurt either. Easy.
Star Trek
One of the simplest on our list, the Star Trek uniform might require a little bit of foresight but it's still cheap, effective and incredibly cool. We've found the Star Trek top on eBay for around £20 – while that's not all that cheap, that should be all you need to spend. Just pair it with some Black trouser and Black shoes!
Where's Wally?
Probably the most effective fancy dress costume in our list is the Where's Wally. While not the cheapest, you're certainly going to stand out from the crowd… which ironically defies the object of our fun literary friend. Get some Blue trousers, a Red and White striped top, some rimmed glasses and a Red bobble hat and party the night away!
Of course, if you do want to make a bit more of an effort, there is always a way! Check out our themed James Bond Halloween Costumes!

Monday Made It!!
Hello folks! Well I have been anxiously waiting to post this! I am in the middle of making a couple things for school, and will update this when they're done. However, I did finish one project at home... SHOES! As I'm sure we all saw on Pinterest, I made the Old Navy shoes with fabric. I went out shopping with my ex-sister-in-law and we went to Old Navy for the sole purpose (hahaha get it?!) of getting shoes to do this project. Then we went to JoAnn's and got 1 yd of fabric to share. It was plenty! These shoes right here cost me $2.50 (She bought the fabric, but it was only $3.something)
Stay tuned for my First Day in 1st Grade picture frame! I also bought a toolbox to make a teacher's toolbox, but I might wait to see what I have at school before I label it.

Those are very cute!ReplyDelete
You are very talented in so many different ways...just a wee bit jealous over here. Lol! =)
Heather's HeartReplies
Awe, thanks! I'm not really talented. Just really really stubborn. When I decide I'm going to do something, it gets done. Somehow. For instance, I decided last night that I wanted to put a mini book on TpT for getting to know the people in the school (principal, nurse, etc). Well, I have EVERYTHING done except I wanted to make the cover cute with clip art of kids and a school. Do you know how hard it is to find black and white (because it will be copied) clip art of school stuff? I love scrappindoodles, but you can't sell on TpT with their stuff. So... the point... I'm so stinkin' stubborn that I might have to make it myself! hahaDelete
Wow did those turn out cute!!! Thanks for linking them up! Can't wait to see your other things;)ReplyDelete

Super cute! :)ReplyDelete
Cute! How did you do it?ReplyDelete
I pinned it here http://pinterest.com/irishtwinsandme/crafty-things-i-wish-i-had-time-to-do/ There aren't word directions, but the pictures are all you need. We got 1yd and cut it in half. Then you take that piece of fabric, and cut it into 4 strips. You need to cut it long-ways. I cut mine about 2ish inches wide. Then cut off the straps that are already on it. Cut the ends of the fabric like a point to make it easier. Then put TWO pieces of fabric through the toe hole and tie a knot. Not like shoes, but take both pieces together, and wrap around to make a knot. Tip: try to make the knot close to the end of the fabric so you don't waste any. Mine were almost too short. Then you are going to make 2 knots on top of the shoe (again, not like shoelaces... that knot has to have a name!). Take each piece and slip through the side holes, knot underneath. Then hot glue the knots into the little holes. Voila! It totally made sense while I was typing it, but I'm sure it's clear as mud. haha I am going to make another pair (2/$5 at ON!), and I'll do a photo step-by-step with word directions with it if this doesn't help. :)Delete
Another tip: Wear them around the house before you glue so that you know if you need to tighten or loosen the side knots. I actually wore mine all day today through all my errands and haven't glued them yet haha.Delete

I am joining the Elf in the Classroom Linky Party! Click the link above to link up. I did not blog about week 1 yet, so this blog entry will include Week 1 and Week 2. Having an elf has brought so much joy and excitement to my students. It has been worth every minute! I think I am having just as much fun as my students are.
Day 1:
Santa sent our elf and left him sitting by the Christmas tree. We read the book and watched the movie on this day. My students were very excited to have the elf. However, they were also a little confused at how this elf could be real and make it to the North Pole every night.
Day 2:
We decided to name him Gingerbread! He was hanging out in our alphabet tree on this day.
Day 3:
Gingerbread liked his name so much, he decided to write it all over the classroom. He also got stuck hanging upside down from the front board.
Day 4:
Gingerbread was playing some basketball and got stuck in the hoop. My students were afraid he was either going to fall or that he would not be able to get himself unstuck, he made it out just fine however. ;)
Day 5:
Gingerbread felt left out, so he added his name to our word wall. This day was very dramatic. Gingerbread was hanging just fine in the morning and when I went out for Door Duty he must have fallen off of the chart. When we came in, in the morning my students were very afraid that he was hurt or that he would lose his magic, but everything worked out just fine. Also, My students could not get past his sloppy writing, silly elf.
Day 6:
Gingerbread left my students a note, with a good report back to Santa and also a chain to help us count down the days until Christmas break.
Day 7:
Gingerbread decided to read some of his favorite books. My students loved that when they came in he was reading his own book.
Day 8:
Gingerbread left us some jingle bells for our door, so that he can hear us coming. He also decided to hide on top of one of our speakers.
Day 9:
Gingerbread decided to have a Candy Land party with our Candy Land sight word game. He even invited some of our reading buddies to join him.
Day 10:
Gingerbread decided we needed some more Christmas cheer. He put up a strand of lights around our dry erase board. This just made my students day and of course I was happy because it was Friday!
One more week to go! I am glad it is almost Christmas break, but I will be sad to see Gingerbread head back to the North Pole. This has been a blast having an elf. Seeing the joy and excitement in my students has made it beyond worth it! Until next week, happy "elfing" my blogging friends!

On September 24, 2016, a Commission Delegated Regulation outlining Regulatory Technical Standards specifying the information on financial contracts that a firm may be required to maintain was published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive gives resolution authorities the power temporarily to suspend the termination rights of any counterparty to a contract with a firm that is under resolution. Both national regulators and resolution authorities may require a firm to maintain detailed records of financial contracts (generally, these are securities contracts, commodities contracts, futures and forwards contracts, swap agreements and inter-bank borrowing agreements) including as to whether or not they include suspensory provisions.
The RTS set out the minimum set of information on financial contracts that should be included in the detailed records held by a firm, which includes information such as whether a contract includes contractual recognition of resolution powers, information on value and valuation, collateral, termination rights, maturity and netting arrangements. The RTS also prescribe the circumstances in which the requirement to hold such records should be imposed and take a wide approach by including all firms or entities that might be subject to resolution actions.
Firms must retain, on an ongoing basis, the minimum set of information outlined in the RTS for each financial contract in its records. If access to such information is requested by a regulator or resolution authority, the firm must make available and transmit such information within the timeframe set out in the request. A firm may apply to have a field excluded from the request by successfully demonstrating to the requesting regulator that the information field is not applicable to the financial contract in question.
Firms that would be placed into an insolvency procedure need not be subject to these requirements, but the RTS does not prohibit national regulators or resolution authorities from imposing similar requirements on such firms, or any other firms.
The EBA published its final draft RTS in December 2015 and the final RTS are not substantively different from the final draft RTS. The RTS will be directly applicable across the EU from October 14, 2016.
The Regulation is available at: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32016R1712&from=EN.
