Boats With Revolutionary Hulls to Be Manufactured in Nevada Finds the Universal Peace Federation
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - Aug 16, 2011) - The Reverend Dr. Sun Myung Moon of Korea, honored by millions around the world as a prophet, peacemaker, wedding convener, newspaper publisher and fisherman, will add a new credential to his resume on Thursday in Las Vegas: inventor.
Not one to rest on his laurels, the 91-year-old Rev. Moon has been tinkering for years with new designs of fishing boats, which are manufactured by his company, Master Marine Yacht Building Co. At 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, Aug 18, 2011, Rev. Moon will unveil the prototype of his newly invented, 23-foot sport fishing boat, complete with a revolutionary new hull construction, at 6590 Bermuda Road, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89119. The new boat, which will be manufactured and sold in Las Vegas, is the product of an innovative "negative NC resin mold" that allows it to move through water at 45 knots an hour. Branded the Won Mo Boat, it is lighter and faster than any vessel in its class, and virtually unsinkable, according to executives at Master Marine.
Doors open at 9:00 a.m. for a reception, entertainment and the boat dedication. Dr. Hak Ja Han Moo, Rev. Moon's spouse, will deliver the keynote address at the dedication ceremony, and later she and Rev. Moon will test the Won Mo on the fresh waters of Lake Mead. Introductory remarks will be given by Rev. Moon's son, Rev. Hyung Jin Moon, who leads his worldwide church, and Rev. In Jin Moon, who leads the Unification Church in the United States. Rev. Moon has told friends and members of his congregation that Las Vegas is destined to become the hub of family-friendly entertainment that will include world-class shows, fishing on Lake Mead and visits to the majestic natural wonders nearby. Whereas some see 2012 as the year the world ends in calamity, Rev. Moon has said he foresees a new era of peace and prosperity to be inaugurated in 2013, and he sees Las Vegas as a city with a bright future.
Rev. Moon has supported boatbuilding since he supervised the manufacture of his first fishing boat in the 1960's. He continued through the 1970's with manufacturing facilities in Alabama, New Jersey and North Carolina. Since 2008, he has been focusing on recreational opportunities on Lake Mead. The Won Mo Boat is believed to be taking the small-boat industry to a whole new level and will greatly enhance sport fishing and commercial fishing, according to Master Marine representatives. As he has explained frequently to members of his worldwide congregation, Rev. Moon's vision for the maritime industry encompasses feeding the world through the oceans and enjoying the tranquility of the lakes, rivers and seas to rejuvenate the human spirit.

Still, constraining matches to be within a sentence can be useful, but Lucene does not currently support it, and I don't see an easy way to add it.

NEW YORK (CNS) — Don't be misled by the Chicken-Little title, "Skyfall" (Columbia) is high-flying entertainment, a rousing return for James Bond and a much-needed injection of vitality into the 50-year-old film franchise built around him.
Director Sam Mendes ("Revolutionary Road") helms British Secret Agent 007's 23rd adventure, a smart mix of reverence, nostalgia, and humor. Purists will be delighted by the spectacular set pieces and characteristically exotic locations.
It's not all fluff, as the script, by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan, is thoughtful and character-driven, raising issues of loss, responsibility, patriotism and loyalty amid the battle of good vs. evil.
"Skyfall" opens in familiar territory: Bond (Daniel Craig) is in Istanbul, chasing a bad guy who has stolen a computer disc containing the identities of every secret agent in the world. At his side is field operative Eve (Naomie Harris), who proves as handy with a straight razor as she is with a rifle.
The crime is big trouble for "M" (Judi Dench), the head of British intelligence unit MI6. It was M herself who lost the disc, and its theft proves the perfect excuse for rival government official Gareth Mallory (Ralph Fiennes) to challenge M's competence, force her retirement, and shake things up at the agency.
"It's a young man's game now," Mallory tells Bond, tipping his hope — as the new century progresses — to rely more on cyber technology than spies on the ground.
Trouble is, neither Bond nor M is quite ready to pack it in. Aided by the new "Q" (Ben Whishaw), a computer genius, they redouble their efforts to solve the robbery as its malignant mastermind orchestrates a reign of terror across London.
Called Silva (Javier Bardem), said villain is a sleazy megalomaniac (naturally) who seeks world domination (of course). In a twist, Silva is a disgraced former agent with unique knowledge of M's past, which fuels his desire for revenge.
At Silva's side is the exotic Severine (Berenice Marlohe), who warns Bond to be very, very afraid. But 007 pours on the charm ("It takes a certain type of woman to wear a backless dress with a Beretta 70 strapped to her thigh"), and Severine rethinks her loyalties.
The search for Silva is a scenic one, sending Bond to Shanghai and Macau, as well as the depths of London's underground and the Scottish highlands.
The violence quotient is undeniably high in "Skyfall," but no more so than is typical for a Bond film, which always seems to involve new and creative ways to blow things up and kill baddies with "style."
The film contains scenes of intense action violence and torture, implied nonmarital sexual activity, mild sensuality and innuendo as well as some profane and rough language. The Catholic News Service classification is A-III — adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13 — parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.

It's an apparent theme of this week, dirty floors and dusty corners, that is. On Tuesday afternoon, a strong, capable woman who runs an NGO here exclaimed to me, "Oh, Erin, if you only knew, my floors are so dirty!" And then she went on to describe how deeply her life has changed since she had a baby, and how little time and energy she has to keep up with relationships, daily chores, and most poignantly, the pace or privileges of her previous life.
Later this week, my husband pointed out to me how dirty our own floors are, and I had a hard time accepting the fact without judgment. For me, the floors symbolized the pace at which my life had suddenly flown into full gear, and the lack of balance I'd been able to strike between practically being brought to tears on Wednesday about the lack of confidence I'm feeling about accomplishing nothing here in China, and the whirlwind tour of visits I'd been on these past few days.
While on one of those visits, an NGO staff member asked me whether America is dusty like China–dust everywhere, on the streets, sidewalks, getting into every corner of one's life. "Every country has dust," I reminded him, much as I'd reminded my friend on Tuesday, that everyone's floors get dirty. And then this morning as I was reading my devotional, this dirtiness and dustiness reappeared in an allusion to the sin that we try to strike from our lives in one deep clean, but still creeps in despite our best efforts.
The devotional's conclusion was that we can't do one deep clean, but rather have to strive each day to recommit our lives to Christ, and repent of our sins.
And while I think that's true, and perhaps, helpful to some, the larger lesson for me here seems to be that everyone has dirty floors, and everyone has dusty corners, and that the point is not our need to polish them clean, but our willingness to reveal them, and our imperfections to others, and to rest, not on our own abilities or inabilities, but in the grace with which God accepts us, dust, dirt, and all.
There are moments at which I feel incredibly off-balance, trying to work toward completing a research project in China, and navigating the complex processes that go with it, but I can either dwell on the wobbles and the fears, or embrace this unsteadiness, the way God does for me each day. It was relatively easy and obvious for me to tell my friends and colleagues that everyone's floors are dirty and every country has dust, but I recognize that when it comes to my own dust and dirt, I'm often less tolerant, less patient, less "above it all."
Last night, after a tiring day of running around the city, visiting families, and being confronted with some of the harsh realities of life here in China, I walked, nay, stumbled into our apartment rather breathlessly, to find a candle on the dinner table, the sizzling sounds of food being prepared in the kitchen, and white floors, cleaned by my husband, on his day off. These simple things reminded me of grace.
I have concluded that we can either painstakingly scrub the floors, with what's left of our energy and our sanity, sweep the dust away, and try to pretend we have it all figured out, OR we can find a way to accept ourselves and our faults, like the ones who so deeply love us do, and see ourselves through their eyes. My husband said the other day that grace is "the gift to see ourselves and others through the eyes of God rather than our own, our culture's, our world's." Thank God, he's so right.

I almost never wear makeup. Occasionally, if I'm going out in a city larger than my own, I'll throw on some mascara and colored lipgloss. But those occasions are few and far between and I tend to feel gross if I add anything extra like eyeshadow or foundations.
My sister, on the other hand, loves makeup. She's one of those people with a giant case of Mac shadows and knowledge of pigments and stuff that I don't even comprehend. So my basic wedding makeup plan was to take her to Sephora with me, have her help me pick out makeup, and then have her do the makeup day of. We ended up scheduling a makeup consult at Sephora. They are free and while there is pressure to buy something at the end of it, you wouldn't have to. My sister ended up buying some eyeshadow foundation for herself and I bought the foundation she showed me because I didn't hate it (which is rare), and that was about it. For the cheap folks out there she also gave me little shaving size samples of the lipstick I liked so I could try them on and decide between them. I actually intended to go back and buy one of them, but never got around to it and ended up using a combo of the samples on our wedding day.
Since I never ended up purchasing all the kinds of makeup I needed, and I knew I wouldn't use a lot of it again, I had my brideswomen bring their makeup and we kind of mixed and matched stuff.
I used...Smashbox photo finish primer (purchased from Costco a few days before the wedding for much cheaper than i saw it elsewhere), Cargo oil-free foundation, Urban Decay eyeshadow primer. All of those were applied with my fingers despite the Sephora lady saying I needed special brushes.
My blush was Besame in warm. I applied it with a blush brush. I used a tiny bit of Besame loose translucent powder on my forehead and nose with a powder brush.
My lips had my facial foundation rubbed over them and then mystery Benefit lipstick from the samples the lady gave me.
I borrowed eyeshadow from my friend and can't remember the exact brand, but it was shades of brown. Mascara was Smashbox in black (it came with the primer).
The best makeup tip I figured out that day was to have a camera on hand while you are getting ready. The one that will be taking pictures of you all day, if you can. I had my photographer there while I was taking pictures so I just had him show me what I looked like as I was going. That way I could adjust according to what I thought looked good in person and what was showing up on camera. I highly recommend that if you can.

I can't remember exactly the first time I met the man; but I remember liking him almost immediately. He liked Duke Basketball, and as a teenager I thought it was pretty cool that a preacher could talk about college basketball, even if it was in praise of Duke.
Despite growing up Methodist and living with their annual reshuffling of the church deck, this was the first change in pastors I had experienced. I remember though, that even as a teenager, I listened to what he had to say – at least most of the time.
That's because church led by Jim Bailes was different. It was Church with a capital C. It wasn't that church wasn't important or that it didn't matter before, because it did. But even as an oblivious teenager who hadn't yet discovered coffee, I was awake enough to notice that when Jim came to town, church was more intense and had more of a purpose. It was almost as if learning to follow Jesus Christ with all you had mattered more than anything else possibly could.
I've been lucky to know a lot of preachers and was cared for well by all of them who were sent to my home church. Looking back, however, it is obvious that Jim's ministry was the first one to point me to the power and the fullness of Jesus and his Gospel. I knew that others pastors who served that church loved me and cared about my family. Jim, however, showed me that the preacher was more than someone you saw on Sunday mornings. He (or she) could be someone who could know about your school life, could care about your home life, and could be interested in the life you shared with your friends at school and on the baseball field.
The most lasting thing he taught me was that the Gospel was about more than having a nice and comfortable Sunday morning experience. He taught me that we weren't being faithful to Jesus if our Gospel didn't bring good news to the poor, didn't move us beyond ourselves and didn't make us a little uncomfortable. He was the pastor who first taught me that embracing the full Gospel was about embracing everybody – even and especially if they didn't talk like you, didn't think like you, didn't dress like you or didn't grow up in the same kind of neighborhood that you did. Those are hard truths to live sometimes, but just because they are hard doesn't mean they aren't true.
Our relationship has changed over the years. Because now we're more than pastor and church member, we're more than friends. We are colleagues. And most of that is his fault. Because when I was trying to nail down just what it was God was asking me to do with the gift of a life I had been given, it surprised no one that one of the first places I ended up was at his house – talking and sharing, listening and praying.
In no small part because of the way I had seen him take seriously following Jesus no matter the cost, I found myself in seminary, exploring and living into a call to ministry that I was determined would reflect the love of God and love of people I had seen in him. Jim was one of the two pastors who officiated my wedding and he has become an invaluable guide as we have navigated the joys and challenges of leading two very different churches in the city that we both love.
Last Friday, a few hundred of Knoxville's most committed people, heard a small amount of his legacy at the Emerald Youth Foundation breakfast. Despite his protests, a mutual friend called him to the stage and shared some of the highlights of his ministry – his love and commitment to all of God's children, his faithfulness in a variety of churches across East Tennessee, his involvement in helping launch the Volunteer Ministry Center, and his assistance and work for many more non-profit agencies during more than 30 years of ministry. Implied in the recognition were the hundreds and thousands of lives, including mine and those of my family, who have been touched by his grace, his wit and his passion for the church, the Great Commission and the Great Commandment.
It was a well-deserved moment. Dr. Bailes will be retiring at Annual Conference in June, and I haven't fully processed what doing ministry without his partnership will be like. He will no doubt still be involved in making our city look more like the way God envisions it, but things will be different. Our conversations about Gospel and culture and family and Christ will likely feature even more talk about his granddaughter and his fruitless efforts of convincing his wife to allow him to bring a dog into the house.
Different or not, on my end they will still be full of gratitude – for the man who has probably done more than anyone to show me what Jesus looks like and where and how I can find him – in my life, in the life of the church, and in the heart of our city.
That, of course, is his fault. But I'm much better for it.

Today in our Home & Style Friday edition, columnist Sally Cunningham writes about all the late-season gardening tasks she and a helper tackled this week. How satisfying it was to accomplish so much in one session, she writes.
This got me thinking about all those nonseasonal tasks that many of us do day after day, week after week. Some we may find enjoyable, or at least no big deal to do. Others we may dread.
But people do not agree on what those are.
Here's the thing: The task I happily tackle may be one that another person dislikes – or avoids.
What's your least favorite daily task?, I asked one friend.
Making the bed, she answered, mumbling something about just having to mess it up again that night.
I, on the other hand, have always liked making beds. To me, it signifies the beginning of a new day. Smooth those sheets! Fluff that comforter! Plump those pillows!
An unmade bed at the end of the day makes me sad. Then again, I grew up in a bed-making family. The only day I wasn't expected to make my bed was my birthday.
Back to my conversation with my friend. So what does she like to do? Dust, she said.
You see the results immediately and it lasts awhile.
OK, we agreed on that one.
We also agreed that the tasks we sometimes procrastinate on actually take little time to do once we decide to do them. Cleaning the fish bowl. Collecting and sorting trash and recyclables. Vacuuming the carpeting on the stairs.
I don't mind doing laundry – unless it's 10:30 p.m. and I remember there are clothes in the dryer that should be hung on hangers.
Otherwise, there's something satisfying about starting up that washing machine early in the morning when the day ahead feels full of promise.
I also find that folding clothes fresh from the dryer can be relaxing – especially bath towels. They fold nicely. They stack nicely. They're easy to carry upstairs and put away in the linen closet.
Piles of socks and fitted bed sheets? Not so much.
Of course different households can work out ways to get things done. Maybe it's designating certain days for everyone to chip in to clean bedrooms and baths. Or posting a chore chart on the refrigerator that rotates weekly (handy for families with kids). At our house on busy days, the you-cook, we'll-clean-up system has worked quite well through the years.
To me, ideally, that means that all dishes, pots and pans are washed and put away before bedtime. On a busy morning, no one wants to empty the dishwasher or scrub a pan that's been soaking in the sink overnight.
That's the time to be making beds.

Dutch Heritage Ceramic Wall Plaque
by Heppner, Sheldon, design
This exclusive Delft blue-style ceramic wall plaque makes a great commemorative gift, especially for anniversaries of an immigration date, immigration reunions and family gatherings. The Tabinta crossed the Atlantic Ocean once in September 1947, a number of times in 1948 and 1949, mostly packed with Dutch immigrants leaving Rotterdam, The Netherlands for a new life in Canada. The first sailing left Rotterdam on September 8, 1947 and was followed by a second departure on April 27, 1948, and followed by the sailings of May 22, June 18, July 19, August 16 of that year, and in 1949 departed the Dutch harbor on April 29, May 23, June 22, and finally on July 21. Various Tabinta passengers contributed their recollections to the book To All Our Children.
The Project I Remember welcomes the participation of Dutch immigrant families and others who crossed the Atlantic Ocean aboard the Tabinta.
The 6"x6" (15cmx15cm) plaques have protective cork feet for surface use and a hanger for display on walls. They are packaged and shipped in styrofoam-lined boxes. These plaques can be found throughout North America at thousands of Dutch immigrant homes. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PRODUCT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. WITH REGRETS.

I found The Trumpet of the Swan on my parents' bookshelf and decided to give it a read. I had read it as a kid, but it's been many years. I didn't remember the story very well, and I was gratified to find that it will be a great story to share with my kids.
Louis the Swan is born without a voice but with the help of his father, he learns to overcome his speech impediment by using a trumpet to communicate. Louis has a series of adventures–meeting a boy named Sam Beaver, playing music for human audiences, and wooing a beautiful swan named Serena. Though Louis faces many challenges in life, he learns to get by and thrive by following his own unique path.
My thoughts:
I like this book because it's a very old-fashioned and wholesome story. It definitely reflects the values and style of the time period when it was written–the early 1940's.
The animal characters in this book share an interesting mixture of human and animal traits. While the swans do all of the normal things that swans would do in the wild, they also talk and reason like humans. At times they also engage in behaviors which are uncharacteristic of swans–such as learning to read and write, playing a trumpet, staying overnight in a hotel room, and working for wages. You have to suspend your disbelief to really enjoy the story.
One of my favorite characters in the book is Louis' father. He has a very grandiose manner of speaking and tends to rattle on in long monologues until his wife cuts him off. He also has an inflated sense of pride and feels a lot of guilt over stealing a trumpet for his son. It's funny to think of a swan posturing and fretting like the old cob does.
I would recommend this book to elementary-age children or as a good family read-aloud book. It's a cute, innocent and charming story.
Possible Objections:
- Native Americans are referred to as Indians
Rating: 4 Stars
Until next time…

Have you ever had one of those months where everything you had planned went by the wayside due to many unexpected additions to your schedule? July was that kind of month – the kind of month that in the past I would have used as an excuse not to exercise. Instead, I found that if you really want to, you can make time and space for getting exercise in spite of your schedule.
Last month I told you about my discovery of Stickk.com, and my decision to hold myself accountable for getting on the treadmill daily, and losing 20 lbs. in 16 weeks. I ended up not trying to do two goals at once, settling on losing the 20 lbs. While there are several other payment options, I decided that I would stake $5 every week I did not meet my goal to be paid to an "anti-charity." These are organizations selected by Stickk that are on opposite ends of contentious political issues, and you have the option of selecting the place you would least like your money to be used. You also select a referee who will verify that you have met your goal, and ideally, supporters who will participate with you and cheer you on. They even have an option for you to use a Withings scale, a device that monitors your weight and statistics and wirelessly delivers them to Stickk. I decided that was a little too "Big Brother" for me, and besides, the cheapest Withings scale I found was around $100.
Somehow I didn't notice that I had decided to start my journey right before my vacation. Not only that, this vacation is the same one I have taken for the last 14 years, one that includes 15 all-you-can-eat meals (talk about a vacation from diet and exercise goals). It also includes a number of wonderful outdoor activities that I don't do. How in the world would I be able to meet my goals? I could commit to taking walks around the 200 acre property, and there would be a fair amount of walking in general, back and forth to activities. Since we were on the third floor, I could even plan to use the stairs instead of the elevator. Not that it mattered much, since the dining hall and hub of most activities is also on the third floor.
Glancing through the schedule, I decided to try the Zumba class that was being offered daily in the auditorium. Two of the homeschool moms at the conference are certified Zumba instructors. Back home, one teaches Zumba classes at a fitness center, and the other one owns a fitness center! I had taken these classes in the past, so I thought I knew what to expect. Turns out my memories were on the fuzzy side.
This video will give you a general idea of what Zumba is. Wikipedia says Zumba "incorporates hip-hop, soca, samba, salsa, merengue, mambo, martial arts, and some Bollywood and belly dance moves." Our classes were for a whole hour – quite a departure from half an hour on the treadmill daily. I worked up a major sweat every day, and I am proud to say I attended classes the four days they were offered (that's not our class, nor me in the video below).
In addition to these classes, I did avoid the elevator, and I did quite a lot of walking. I ate a lot of wonderful salads, and really dialed back my portions of other food. I was determined to achieve my first goal, and I did! For the first time ever, I lost 2 pounds on this vacation instead of gaining five or ten pounds.
I was home for about 48 hours, where I continued to watch what I was eating, exercise, and monitor my progress. Then I got on a bus with 80 teenagers from my church and headed to St. Louis for a week for a large youth conference. The first day we were there, we went to the St. Louis Zoo, where I think I walked about three or four miles in 95 degree heat. The remainder of the week was a whirlwind of activities at the America's Center, which also involved a great deal of walking, dodging 7,000 teenagers, taking our meals in the Edward Jones Dome, cleaning up streets in a dangerous neighborhood, and sometimes, walking another 3/4 mile back to the hotel at the end of the day. Combine all that with terrible food that I didn't eat very often, and it seemed to me that I would be on track that week to have lost at least two pounds, if not more.
When I got home, I decided to finally get on the scale after more than two months of ignoring it. Unbelievably, it said I had not only NOT met my goal, I had gained ten pounds! I blinked back tears and ran out of the room. "That's impossible!" I shouted. "I drank tons of water. I was active. I didn't eat too much."
My son heard me yelling and asked what was the matter. When I told him that I had gained ten pounds, he said, "That's ridiculous. There is no way you have gained any weight. Even I can see that your belly has gone down." My husband agreed. And of course, they were right. My clothes were fitting a lot better, and my rings were even spinning round on my fingers to the point that I had to take them off because they were too big!
Clearly I should have taken my own advice and thrown away that scale. In fact, I probably went about Stikk all wrong in the first place, by focusing on weight loss (the scales!) rather than building muscle, losing fat and having my clothes fit better. Meanwhile, I couldn't honestly report back to Stickk.com that I had lost weight, because I didn't have any idea whether I had actually met my goal or not. So I ended up making a $5 contribution to my least favorite charity.
I wish I could say I have been as diligent since I returned home from St. Louis. We have done quite a bit of eating out because of the busy schedule, but I have managed to exercise three times this week, in spite of having to deal with insurance paperwork from a car accident, a funeral (unrelated to the car accident!), catching up on all the work I left behind for two weeks, and getting sidelined by a nasty summer cold. If I can find the time to exercise in the midst of all that, you can too! Baby steps are still steps in the right direction. Just keep going! I would love it if you would help me meet my goal to lose 20 pounds by the end of October. Email me at susancritelli (at) verizon.net, or find me on Fit After Fifty and let me know you want to participate.

Hello, my name is Lucy Taylor and I am the Children, Young People and Families Officer for Powys Association of Voluntary Organisations (PAVO). However, little is understood concerning the relationship between maternal psychological health and smoking cessation. Assessing and addressing mental well being stays necessary to ensure that all Americans lead longer, more healthy lives. I was so fortunate to have a great grounding in psychological well being and wellness, given my previous coaching plus a beautiful assist community, yet some days have been simply plan hard.
Mental sickness , disability , and suicide are ultimately the results of a combination of biology, environment, and entry to and utilization of mental well being therapy. Being anxiety psychological health consciousness fit on your patients is aloof as essential as actuality physically fit. An EEG is sometimes indicated when delirium or unusual dementia conditions or seizure issues are being thought-about.
This way, our bodies accretion ability on assorted problems and may calmly admit individuals who could also be adversity from these issues however capability not completely be acquainted of them. The burden of psychological sickness in the United States is among the many highest of all illnesses, and mental issues are among the many most common causes of incapacity. The theme for this yr's Mental Health Australia marketing campaign will probably be introduced soon! Health encompasses abounding aspects, not aloof concrete nervousness mental well being consciousness Brainy bloom is aloof as essential.
Anxiety psychological well being consciousness has apparent that there are too abounding cases of commonality amid adroitness and brainy bloom points to be completely coincidental, but why absolutely there may be such a articulation nonetheless charcoal to be explained. There are numerous different sorts of psychological well being counselors: counseling psychologists, psychiatrists, scientific psychologists, as well as social employees, and pastoral counselors.
Furthermore, bodily activity and mental well being recovery coincide in fostering a social community and inspiring self-reflection, both of that are essential on the path to mental health restoration. Aged and earlier our bodies who crave connected attention, can get benefited by these association services, as a substitute of advantageous enormous payments at clandestine hospitals, they will get acceptable affliction on the affiliation providers. Living with a mental dysfunction is rarely straightforward, so it is always vital to have folks around to make the days a bit easier.

I was being lazy this morning. I thought a blog had already posted so I wasn't concerned. I checked to see and…alas…no new blog. Then I realized that I did have another blog, but I had set it to publish on Sunday. It's more of a Sunday topic type blog. So….here goes.
I have another WOW (wise older women) luncheon today. It's my once a month get together with some friends. Sometimes we have ten or more, sometimes there's only three of us. The problem with meeting with older women is that things happen. It's not the same group every time. Last month there were six of us. The month before the group was larger. There's something else going on in town today so we may only have the three of us.
One of the women for several months last year was in a nursing home with pneumonia. I thought maybe she would remain there, but she regained enough strength to return home. She has COPD and must carry an oxygen tank with her wherever she goes, but she is determined to go.
She is in her 80s and is a tiny woman. I fear for her safety when the wind is strong. She has difficulty hearing, so she misses out on much of the conversation, especially when the restaurant is noisy, but she still keeps coming. Her body may be becoming weaker, but her spirit is strong. She still insists on being part of the world. I admire that.
She has developed a good relationship with the "leader" of the group…the woman responsible for setting up the restaurants every month. That woman is very kind hearted and will do whatever she is able for anyone who may need help.
Perhaps it is from years of practice being a minister's wife. That was during the age that congregations hired "two for the price of one". They made certain that the minister had a wife who was highly involved in the activities of the church…of course, without pay. I was very young when the minister at my childhood church was hired. I remember that his wife somewhat broke those "rules". I often heard criticism of how "standoffish" she was and how little she participated in church activities. Women of the congregation can be so critical of those who don't live up to perceived roles.
My friend is not like that. She does get involved in the lives of others. However, I'm guessing she does it out of a desire to serve rather than feeling pressured to do it. I have never learned the boundaries between friendship and predatorship. In an effort to not "intrude" and take advantage, I don't perhaps seek help from others as often as I could. My friendship with her is like that. I try not to take advantage of her.
She did do me a couple of favors two years ago. The train station is about seven miles from my house. I needed a ride and she agreed to take me. I rode the train up north and then flew back home. She was also at the airport to pick me up so that I wouldn't have to take the commuter train back to the same train station. Thank goodness for cell phones. I called her when I deboarded and she was on the way to the airport. However, it was the wrong one and she had to double back a couple of exits to reach DFW! Somehow we had not communicated clearly. Fortunately, she's the type who easily forgave the miscommunication.
I guess my problem with allowing friends to help is that I seem to have friends who have other family and friends. I am very seldom ever asked by anyone else to do favors for them. That makes me feel uneasy that I am taking without giving. It's not that I need help every day or every week, but when I do need help my first course of action is to try to figure out how to do it myself. I guess that's from having to do it myself most of my life. I'm still working on it.
The lunch starts in an hour so enough about these two friends. Hopefully, you have friends such as these two in your lives as well. If you do, you are blessed. Namaste. Attic Annie

Information, support and advice will be available in Waveney libraries next week for people caring for or supporting a loved one or friend with mental health difficulties.
The drop-in sessions, which will take place during Carers Week 2018 (11-17 June) at the libraries in Beccles, Bungay, Halesworth, Kessingland and Lowestoft, are being organised by Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust (NSFT):
Bungay Library Monday, 11, June 12noon – 1.30pm
Halesworth Library Monday, 11 June 9.30am – 12noon
Beccles Library Tuesday, 12 June 9.30am – 11.30am
Lowestoft Library Friday, 15 June 9.30am – 12noon
Kessingland Library Friday, 15 June 12.30pm – 1.30pm
Catherine Phillips, Carers Lead for the Waveney Community Mental Health Team, and other staff from NSFT will be available to talk to people who drop-in. Suffolk Family Carers will also take part in the Halesworth event.
"There are so many unpaid carers in society and it's often difficult to reach out to them in a rural area like Waveney where transport links are sometimes poor," said Mrs Phillips.
"Looking after someone with a mental health condition can be tough and often isolating and carers often put the needs of their loved ones above their own, so they can tend to neglect their own wellbeing.
"We're hoping these events will enable us to signpost carers to services that can help and support them, either on a one-to-one or group basis, so they become better connected to their community."
Mrs Phillips, who is based in Lowestoft, said she also wanted to make carers aware that the Care Act 2014 had increased the rights of non-paid family carers.
On Tuesday (12 June) afternoon, Hope for Change, a service user and carer forum for the Waveney area, will host a tea party for carers, services users and NSFT staff in the Poppies meeting room at the Trust's Carlton Court unit at Carlton Colville.
Carers Week is an annual awareness campaign which takes place to celebrate and recognise the vital contribution made by the UK's 6.5 million carers.

How much does a Tourist Guide make per Year? Average Tour Guide Salary
A tourist guide job can be an interesting and rewarding position if you enjoy working with people and learning about history or other relevant topics to society. The salary of a tour guide depends largely on the location and size of the employer. For a larger establishment in a touristy location, a salary of over $12 per hour is common. For smaller establishments, tour guides usually make roughly $9 to $10 per hour. A yearly salary depends on the number of hours worked, as some tour guide only work seasonally or part-time. For a full-time position, though, tour guides can expect to make roughly $20,000 a year.

When doves (and the tax man) cry
Carmel Fisher
06 May, 2016
Prince fans continue to mourn his passing and his music is enjoying a resurgence, with 16 top songs on iTunes as of last weekend.
Meanwhile, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the 57-year-old pop star's estate attorneys have begun considering the value of Prince's name, image and likeness to determine his estate's tax liability. This could be an ugly and, to any casual observer, patently unfair development for Prince's beneficiaries.
After reading about Prince's estate planning quagmire (not helped by the absence of a will) I am grateful to live in New Zealand where our Inland Revenue Department has other priorities than chasing taxes on future earnings from deceased celebrities.
Tax attorneys are buzzing over the valuation of Prince's estate. While his estate is said to be worth about US$300 million, making Prince one of the most valuable entertainers in the world, the value of his estate is expected to soar in the years ahead.
The songwriter's wealth includes more than just music and concert ticket sales. Paisley Park, his Minnesota home and recording studio, is worth millions. Then there is the potential windfall from the "vault" of up to 2,000 unreleased songs stored at Paisley Park. While not all will be hit songs, the stash might well include some valuable gems.
Prince was popular for a long time and died relatively young, so it is expected future royalties will be huge with the likelihood of ballooning popularity and a ballooning estate valuation.
The IRS and tax attorneys are used to putting price tags on tradeable assets such as property, music and royalty income. The bigger challenge is to value future earnings generated by Prince's estate.
The IRS wants a piece of that future value and, with a 40 per cent federal estate tax applied to amounts over $US5.45 million, as well as a state estate tax of 16 per cent, there is a lot at stake.
Apparently the IRS feels it got "burned" in the case of Elvis Presley's estate because it didn't anticipate how popular and valuable the Presley phenomenon would be after death. The estate tax settlement agreed after Elvis' death did not take full account of music and film royalties nor revenue from Graceland tours and merchandising.
A test case in February 2017 will have ramifications for the Prince estate. A years-long squabble between Michael Jackson's estate attorneys and the IRS will go to court next year, with the IRS claiming the estate is worth $US434 million and the estate attorneys claiming it is worth just $US2,105 (yes, you read it right).
Jackson's lawyers claim the pop star earned no more than $US50 million from the licensing of his name and image when he was alive. But, since his death in 2009, Jackson experienced a commercial re-birth thanks to the 2009 documentary This Is It, a Cirque du Soleil tribute show, video games and advertisements using Jackson's hologram.
The IRS estimates posthumous revenue and earnings have significantly boosted the estate value to many times the value at the time of Jackson's death.
What might Prince's estate be worth if someone was to follow Michael Jackson's model — product endorsements using Prince's hologram, a biographical film, a themed Cirque du Soleil show, the release of new songs and albums, and tours through Paisley Park?
This will be the biggest such case for the IRS and seems certain to keep Prince's name in the spotlight — ironically, boosting the value of his estate even more.

- Alejandro's first "fight" with Don de la Vega after de la Vega keeps him from fighting Captain Love. It last all of about 20 seconds.de la Vega: You would have fought very bravely and died very quickly.Alejandro: I'd have found a way. I've never lost a fight!de la Vega: Except to a crippled old man just now.
- When de la Vega is first training Alejandro, Alejandro whips his sword around in several fancy-looking movements...then de la Vega simply knocks the sword out of hands with one swipe.
de la Vega: (referring to Alejandro's sword) Do you know how to use that thing?Alejandro: The pointy end goes into the other man?de la Vega: This is going to take a lot of work.
- Also this scene:
- Zorro pretending to be a priest and hearing a Confession. He gets the Ten Commandments wrong.
Elena: I broke the Fourth Commandment.Alejandro: You killed somebody?Elena: No, that is not the Fourth Commandment.Alejandro: [Beat] Of course not. What did you do to break the most sacred of Commandments?Elena: I dishonored my father.Alejandro: That's not so bad. Maybe they deserved it.
- He doesn't just get them wrong - he has no idea which is which or what most of them are.
- Perhaps some of Don Vega's education of Alejandro included some Japanese texts.
- The sword fight between Zorro and Elena. More specifically the hilarious Shameful Strip Zorro subjects Elena to that was pretty much the money shot of the entire marketing campaign.
- Alejandro as Don Alejandro is such a delightful jerk, it's hilarious.
- Alejandro getting a lot of enjoyment out of trolling Captain Love.[Alenjandro walks over to Elena and Love on the dance floor]Elena: Yes, were you looking for something?Alejandro: A sense of the miraculous in everyday life.Captain Love: [bemused] Really? Well, why don't you try looking somewhere else? The lady and I are trying to dance.Alejandro: You were trying; she was succeeding. [Love scowls at that while Elena grins slightly.] Forgive me, Captain Love. A shameless joke at your expense...And I hope it won't be the last.

The Allure of Startups
I'm often asked why I've chosen to embark on the startup path. People are quick to point out the lack of job security, or how salaries compare to those in a corporate setting (which isn't always lower). Instead, I see startups as robust opportunities for career growth and job satisfaction.
In the startup environment it's all hands on deck. Positions are not as rigid as those in well-established companies, and it's unlikely that you'll be limited to doing only what's in the job description. You have the unique opportunity of truly taking ownership of your position and making it what you want it to be.
Wherever help is needed, you will have the chance to try on a variety of hats (some you probably never considered wearing). While you may enjoy certain roles, challenges, and responsibilities more than others, all of these experiences will expand your skill-sets and help to determine what you want out of your career.
In this dynamic and fast-paced environment that calls for autonomous work and collaboration, such variety ensures that you'll never be bored. To be surrounded by like-minded individuals with the common drive for the startup to grow and succeed, the motivation and satisfaction felt is incomparable. Innovation is encouraged, and recognition for successes (and failures) rarely go unnoticed.
In larger corporations, often the company's vision can seem distant from your daily work. However, in a startup, the innovators who brought their ideas to fruition are never far. It's not uncommon to find yourself working alongside the CEO, something that would seem implausible in a larger workplace. You gain a better understanding of where your contributions fit into the big picture, making each member feel valued and personally invested in the success of the company.
And of course, there are the perks of startup culture at CareGuide. There's a strong sense of community, casual dress code, team lunches, dogs in the office, unique office decor, and a beer fridge.
The startup life isn't for everyone, but if you like what you read above and feel you're up for this challenging but rewarding career, I encourage you to join us.

Once they're hired, millennials need to be mentored by experienced agents to ensure their success.
Much has been written about an upcoming brain drain in the insurance industry. As its 693,000 workers over the the age of 50 begin to retire in the coming years, the insurance industry may need to fill as many as 400,000 vacant positions by 2020.
In response, insurance companies and agencies have ramped up their efforts to recruit millennials. Once they've hired them, however, managers encounter the challenge of helping these younger workers thrive in the insurance industry. Without some understanding of this population's mindset, agents and carriers struggle to provide the support and mentorship needed to ensure that millennials succeed in insurance.
Fortunately, millennials are open to learning. A 2014 survey by the Intelligence Group, a division of Creative Artists Agency, revealed that nearly 80% of millennials would want their boss act as a coach or mentor if they could not be their own boss. Here are four tips that experienced agents can follow to be the mentor they need.
EducationProfessional development is a major priority for the average millennial worker. After polling more than 1,550 millennials working in insurance last year, Vertafore found that more than 60% of respondents find the ability to learn and develop their skills as strong motivating factors in their professional decisions. For managers, this preference should encourage them to provide millennials with opportunities to advance through the company's ranks such as continuing education credits and support with earning professional licenses.
Give Them FeedbackMillennials like frequent feedback from their managers. In fact, a 2014 survey of 1,400 millennials conducted by Success Factors and Oxford Economics found that a majority of millennials want feedback at least every month, more than other generations. Millennials believe that regular discussions with managers about their work contributes to their career advancement and makes them more productive.
Listen to ThemDespite their desire for feedback, millennials also want their voices to be heard by management. They prefer a collaborative work environment rather than a traditional hierarchical model, with 88% of millennials in the Intelligence Group poll drawn to less competitive and more cooperative workplace cultures. As a result, managers should encourage input from their millennial employees regarding the company's strategy, policies, and programs. Such a tactic enables millennials to feel that they're part of a team and important to the company's overall mission.
Be FlexiblePerhaps because they grew up in the digital age, millennials don't believe they need to be tied to an office desk or a 9-to-5 schedule to do their job. Indeed, nearly 75% of millennials in the Intelligence Group survey expressed a desire for flexible work schedules. While it may seem unusual to older workers, letting millennials telecommute or occasionally work from home or a coffee shop keeps them engaged. Managers should emphasize the quality of the work rather than where or when it was done.
As its workforce ages, the insurance industry must recruit more young people to its ranks. To make that happen, managers need to learn how to mentor millennials so the industry can succeed in the future.
