Being a human with a soul is truly a struggle. The confines of our body. The societal pressures to be "normal". The fears that wreak havoc on our mind keeping us small and unassuming. Getting too comfortable. Confusing to follow your dreams and loving life if you have no followers. The need to document on Snapchat, Instagram or YouTube but never the true self just a well manicured image. We want to be loved and accepted. But, everything we do proves that we don't. We are scared to be real because it may lead us away to the unknown. This is scary and different. Who do you think you are? You think you're better then us? People don't support you they try to bring you down to their level. Continue reading
Every year for as long as I can remember I have made the trek to the cemetery. It was the annual honoring (cleaning) of the graves. My father's family is buried there along with my sister. As a child, I wouldn't help much. I would check out the graves and calculate the ages and feel sad for the smaller graves of children and babies that had only been days old. It was like a spring time project that we went to each year. As I grew older though I helped clean. Trim the grass, rake it up, sweep it off the headstones and marble slabs and then wash the dirt off. We visit with other families that had come out to do the same. The next day which would be Sunday, there would be church, lunch in town and then a service at the cemetery. The priest would go around and bless each grave that was requested. Continue reading
The Tale of a Perfect Wannabe Mother
I caught myself doing it again. I blog about stuff, but I try to not show you the real juicy stuff. I graze over my troubles with a dismissive hand gesture. Like no big deal, we all go through it, and then I move onto how I overcame my battle. Ughhhhh. Continue reading
Split In Two
I have a split personality. I have the awareness, spiritual side. That side of my parenting and me as a woman in the world is very calm and peaceful. When she is strongly connected in spirit, surrounded by nature and in harmony she does offer the best advice. She sees her children as these souls experiencing life. She wants them to see themselves as they are and being ok with all of it.
The other side is the ego. It holds the fears. It shows itself mostly with anger, but it has sneaky ways too when I get a great idea and then quickly my brain tells me how I shouldn't do that. I pass it off as no big deal, but in awareness I realize that was my fears at play. The ego yells at my kids and snots off the lady at the grocery store. It is the reactive place when I am not conscious.
The awareness is starting to be there more and more. Even if the ego starts its rant the awareness kicks in and stops me. I am working on this in my parenting of my children. I am trying to keep it in the forefront that each of my children are individuals and have a purpose here. I cannot impose my dreams on them. I have seen it already in many things. My kids all show athleticism in sports they try. I did too. But, wasn't allowed the opportunity until I was older to join sport activities. I sent them off to soccer, volleyball, basketball and hockey. There has always been a small voice that says if you did all the training and took them into the elite levels they will make it. Then, the spirit asks is that what they want, or is it what I had wished for? I have to breathe. Is it my dream for them, or their own?
Is success for them based on my expectations?
It truly is the hardest thing to not force confirmation on them. To just allow them to be there and speak to them when I am in my awareness. I was upset with my daughter the other day because of a website she was on. I yelled at first, but soon realized, no that is not what I want to convey here. I immediately calmed my tone and told her the concern and that I wanted her to understand the stranger on the other side of the computer. Underneath all of that I told her, if you are lonely then lets make plans with your friends, or let's watch the movie you wanted me to watch with you. I want you to focus your connection with real people and not think that connection will come from strangers. We watched the movie. When I spoke to her in the calm voice and tried to see what the real deal was she said to me, I love you. I know that's her way of saying thank you for seeing me.
I want to help pave the road and open doors for them. But, I want them to choose if it is the road for them or the door to go through. I want them choosing in their awareness. I want them to remember that they've had the power all along and not to let them forget that the awareness is what they were born with. We, as a society, put the limitations and the children forget who they truly are to be. We must let them remember.
Mommy Love
So, I hear from my friend who tells me that she thinks I should open up my heart more. I recently related to all of you that I have this feeling of distance in my heart. But, after more contemplation I know there is love in all things. I love my little family. I have said to my children that I wanted to have more connection between all of us. Get off the ipods and computers and talk to one another. They really stepped up. Continue reading
I was getting ready for a fundraising event and I had my phone playing music. A slow song came on and I let it play not thinking much about it. The song was over and it repeated. No songs had repeated up to that point, and no song repeated after. It was strange. The song was, "I Believe in Love". It made me ask, do I believe in love? Continue reading
Part 3 Examine My Life
Here I sit. I looked back in my past at some of my most shameful times in Part 2. I sat in the feelings that came up. I pondered all of it for the next few days. I kept reading Rising Strong by Brene Brown. It dawned on me from her book that Part 2 was completely "my story". It had truth in it, but it was the victimized, selfish story that I have told myself for 20 plus years.
The truth is that looking at Part 2 is that some of it is not real. It felt very real at the time, but I chose to accept all that was said and done to me. I made myself the victim in the story and not the victor. I feel a part of me stayed face down on the arena floor until now. It is time for all of myself to rise up and see it in a clear light. Continue reading
Part 2 Examine My Life
*As I have said in Part I, I do not blame anyone in my past nor wish them ill feelings that they could have said or done anything to change the outcome of my life. I acknowledge that I made bad choices. This blog is clearly my perception of my life at that time and seeing it with fresh eyes right now, because at the time my eyes were closed.
From Part I Examing My Life: In 1910, Theodore Roosevelt gave the speech which contained the line, "The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcomings…." Brene Brown talks about this speech in her book 'Rising Strong'. She says that we don't focus on when we are face down on the arena floor; society only wants to hear when you graze over the battle and talk about when you rose back up. We love the victorious stories the best. The face down on the arena floor is the part that I have not wanted to face. I didn't want to focus when I was in my biggest despairs because it hurts to go back to it. But, why I need to do it this time is to release all the pain I buried there.
I can picture the room that my mother spent her last couple months in. I picture myself sitting back in there with her on the bed and I cry. I think at the time I felt numb. I felt like the elephant followed us to that room. There was so little said and so little closure. My mother showed me her anger. She showed her pain. I just ate it all. I can't even recall if I told myself that it wasn't true what she was saying. I know she had cancer and was on pain meds, but it was only me out of my whole family she took it out on. Honestly, it has haunted me all these years. It felt like our last memories together was her saying she was disappointed in me. I was no good. There was a better daughter out there and she ended up with me. My dad just passed it off as she doesn't know what she is saying, but I think she did. I thought of it like her being drunk and saying what she really thought. Dismissing it never took away the pain of it. Trying to forgive someone who never said anything nice after those words could not change my heart. Continue reading
Part 1 Examine My Life
This journey of discovering my vulnerability has made me examine my past. I have struggled with looking back at my life because I have always thought I don't want to go back there. I don't live there anymore. I had this belief for a long time, but after visiting a healer she told me that I have my past, especially with my mother, still held inside. I laughed and cried a bit because I thought, haven't I dealt with this? The healing also brought up vulnerability and how I needed to face the truth about myself. Continue reading
Ms. Judgement
A friend asked that I blog about judgmental parents. I thought oh sure, that is such an easy topic, but I think she wanted me to make a plea to parents to be kinder when speaking about other people's children. It seems to be so common in our society. Is it truly just a human condition? As a human, we are constantly comparing, judging and measuring. Are they better or are they less than us? We can't ever seem to let it be. I was one of those parents long ago and maybe catch myself thinking or saying it once in a while even now. I held my ruler up and measured them against how I was as a parent and many failed. Some parents didn't fail, but somehow seemed like they had it together better then me then I felt jealousy. Once in a while, I make it sound like I have it all together when I don't. A parent will talk to me about their own children and most times I will say yes, I have been there, but sometimes I offer advice on what I have told my own children, but it makes me feel like I'm sounding superior. I don't like it about me. I try to remain aware in conversations when people reach out. They want to be heard and supported and not reminded of their failings. Continue reading

Piedmont's nurses work diligently to ensure the highest quality of care for each patient, each day. We realize that to achieve the best state of health possible, patients must receive care centered on their individual needs as well as those of their families and the community.
At Piedmont, we have a very clear vision of what the practice of nursing entails:
To continue excellence in the delivery of person-centered caring by promoting an optimal state of health as perceived by the person, family and community.
This means that our nurses make the patient's needs the top priority. Our mission is to provide superior healthcare and health-related services to patients, physicians and community in a responsive and professional manner that demonstrates respect for the individuals with whom we come into contact.
Piedmont nurses understand our commitment to each person seeking care at Piedmont Hospital and nursing practice is currently guided by Piedmont Hospital's Code of Ethics.
Under the direction of the Chief Nurse Executive, nurses use the principles and attributes to guide how we practice and document care, collaborate with the medical team, make decisions, and communicate with patients, their families, physicians and other medical personnel.
In 1996, Nursing's role at Piedmont Hospital was defined through development of the Professional Nursing Practice Model of Piedmont Hospital. This model of care defines four key areas: the attributes of the nurse, the person (also called "patient"), the nurse/person relationship, and health.
The ANA Standards of Clinical Nursing Practice reflect the values and priorities of the profession, provide direction for professional nursing practice, establish a framework for the evaluation of practice, and define nursing's accountability to the public and the patient outcomes for which nurses are responsible.

The globally renowned REMIX arrives on the Sunshine Coast for the first time in September. The REMIX Summits series take place annually in London, Sydney, New York, Los Angeles, Dubai and Sydney and explore the intersection of culture, technology and entrepreneurship. They have previously been held at venues including MoMA and the British Museum. They bring together thought-leaders from across different industries from Michael Bloomberg to NASA in order to tackle the big ideas shaping the future of the creative industries and the creative economy. REMIX Summits are made possible through partnerships including The Guardian, Google and Bloomberg.
This special REMIX Academy summit has been developed to explore the ingredients needed to nurture creative cities and communities. Cities around the globe are striving to create innovation districts but how do we move beyond the cookie cutter approach where they seek to replicate the 'Silicon Valley model' towards building a more complex creative ecology with arts and culture embedded at their core; a formula which is driving the growth of the creative industries and the tech sectors of cities such as Berlin, London and New York which now have not only some of the most successful digital economies but have recognized that these co-exist with and benefit from nurturing other types of creative enterprise that make them the locations of choice for tech entrepreneurs.
Speakers include Andrew Kalish, Director of Cultural Development at Downtown Brooklyn Partnership recently named one of the 100 most influential people in the Brooklyn culture scene alongside figures such as film Director Spike Lee. Andrew is a key player in the development of the Brooklyn Cultural District, one of the world's leading urban creative hubs and will share the secrets behind this success.
Hannah Barry, one of the UK's leading creative innovators travels to Australia to tell the story behind the incredible Bold Tendencies which transformed a disused multi-storey car park in Peckham into a cutting-edge contemporary art gallery and dynamic urban social space responsible for turning the area as one of London's leading creative locations which Vogue have described as the "capital's cultural epicentre." Sir Nicholas Serota, Director of the Tate added "There are few initiatives taking place anywhere in the UK that match the verve with which the Bold Tendencies Team have taken advantage of the opportunity offered by Southwark for the imaginative use of derelict space"
Jonathan Robinson, Co-Founder and Director of Impact Hubs also travels from the UK to join the conversation. Arguably the most successful co-working movement globally, Impact Hubs provide physical spaces in over 80 global cities to over 15,000 members offering access to events, knowledge, investment and tools to help start and grow social enterprises.
The event also features a number of creative leaders changing the face of Australia.
Alan Crabbe, co-founder of Pozible, a crowd funding platform which enables great ideas to happen by empowering creators and connecting communities; Damian Borchok former CEO of Interbrand Australia and co-founder of For The People, who work with entrepreneurial leaders to envision, articulate and launch new businesses and also help remake existing organisations for the digital age; and Michelle Tabet, an urban strategist who is the co-curator of this year's Australian Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale and founder of Left Bank.
Peter Tullin, co-founder of REMIX Summits said: "With the unique model of REMIX, new ideas emerge and collaborations develop aided by the juxtaposition of visionaries from different worlds – real disruption occurs when you have senior innovators from the likes of NASA, Cirque du Soleil, Spotify and MoMA in the same room. This is 'Remixing' and it's creating a whole new approach to innovation in the creative economy; the fastest growing industry sector around the globe."
Sunshine Coast Mayor Mark Jamieson said: "Hosting a REMIX Summit here on the Sunshine Coast sits perfectly with the position we are seeking for the Sunshine Coast as one of Australia's truly smart cities – the home of innovation, entrepreneurialism and creativity. REMIX explores the intersection of culture, technology and entrepreneurship – three key ingredients of the ecosystem that is alive and flourishing here on the Sunshine Coast. There is no better place in Australia to host this event and I look forward to welcoming our international and local speakers and summit delegates."
Sunshine Coast Creative Alliance President Phil Smith said: "Creative excellence and great art is usually attributed to the talent and training of individuals. We tend to celebrate successful artists as 'lone wolves' and reward them for their gifts. But even a cursory study of history shows that great art and high culture is always a product of an engaged society and the creative culture of cities". Mr Smith says "Without organised and productive urban places we will not get the powerful economic uplift that comes from a thriving, creative economy."

Today's Scripture: Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 2 Timothy 2:1, 3
|The one who heralded the way for our Savior's coming, John the Baptist, was bold as a lion, strong in the faith, and busy in the work he was called to do. He stood above all the other prophets. Living a life free of distractions, he chose a humble existence in the wilderness…nothing flashy, just faithful.
Not one to mince words, John corrected Herod and Herodias (Herod's brother's wife) for their adulterous relationship. He imparted to them God's wrath and warned them of their sin. John was a man who said what needed to be said without fear of whose toes were being stepped on. He was anything but politically correct. Well, John's scolding did not sit too well with the king's wife, and so, he was thrown in Herod's fortress-like prison near the Dead Sea. A dry, arid, desolate place, this prison was isolated and nothing like anything John had ever known. John the Baptist loved being outside, and now he was confined in a dungeon-silenced.
Surrounded by dark emptiness, this bold, fearless preacher began to doubt that he was right about the Messiah. No longer looking at the big picture, he allowed questions to creep in that did not belong in that dungeon with him. Think about it. The greatest person born in all of history (aside from Christ in human flesh) was experiencing doubt and fear; he was no longer sure that God's promises were even true.
How disappointed Jesus must have been in him…that is how you or I would imagine the Lord feeling about this situation. However, Christ's response to John's weakness was not one of judgment. Rather, Jesus told John's disciples, "Tell John what you see. Remind him of what is true." He was tenderly asking John to remember the prophecies He had already fulfilled and was fulfilling. Instead of scolding him, Jesus praised John for being a man of conviction and courage and defended John even in his days of doubt.
What should you do when you have days of doubt? Don't keep it inside or talk it over with other people. Take it to Jesus. Go right to the source. Let your God remind you of how powerful He is. Maybe He has you in a place of confinement where you don't feel free. Don't allow doubts to eat away at your courage. It is better to squash the doubts before they grow. Your bleak circumstances do not mean God is done with you. He truly loves you. Read Matthew 11:1-11 today. The One that understood John and defended Him in his time of weakness is the same God we serve today. Isn't He worth enduring for in your desert place?
Devotional by Pastor Jim Scudder, Jr.

N360m Bribery Saga: Why 23 INEC officials can't be tried in Rivers, FG tells court
The Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, on Friday, fixed May 12 to determine whether it has the jurisdiction to try 23 officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, accused of collecting N360million bribe from Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.
Trial Justice John Tsoho reserved ruling on the issue on a day the Federal Government adduced reasons why it decided to prosecute the defendants in Abuja instead of in Rivers State.
FG had in a seven-count criminal charge it filed before the high court on March 7, alleged that the indicted INEC officials, got the bribe money from Governor Wike during the December 10, 2016, legislative re-rerun election in Rivers state.
Those cited as defendants in suit marked FHC/ABJ/CR//42/2017, were Shittu Mohammed Lamido (Shettima), Henry Owokure, Peter Ewatade, Mrs. Mary Jummai, Tunkoyo Pennap, Gwatana Jibril, Ivase Stephen, Abdullahi Ogabo, Gayus Hassan, Hussaina Yahaya, James Ogwuche, Karimu Aminu and Adedokun Najeem Ayotunde.
Others include, Balogun Funmilayo, Adams Kadiri, Akinwande Adesoji, Lukeman Olabimpe, Tiamiyu Arowolo, Akinwoye Amodu, Nwoha Yusuf, Patrick Anuke, Iro Abali, Nwosu Oluchi and Arukwe Chinelo.
The defendants had on March 14, declined to enter their plea to the charge, insisting that the court in Abuja lacked the territorial jurisdiction to conduct their trial based on the alleged offence.
They challenged the legal propriety of FG trying them in Abuja over a crime they allegedly committed in Rivers State.
The defence lawyers led by Mr. Ahmed Raji, SAN, and U.O Ukairo, said they had on March 13, filed motions to challenge powers of the high court in Abuja to adjudicate on an offence that took place in Rivers State.
They dared FG to take them before the Port Harcourt Division of the high court, saying the court should in the alternative, strike out the charge for want of competence.
Nevertheless, in urging the court to dismiss the motions, government lawyer, Mr. Aliyu Alilu, maintained that Rivers State is "highly unsafe" to conduct such trial.
FG, in a counter-affidavit it filed before the court, cited an intelligence report by the police alleging that thugs loyal to the Wike-led administration, had threatened to rise violently against the trial of the perceived allies of their benefactor if the case was conducted in the state.
It told the court that "the safety of witnesses, prosecutors, court officials and other civilians cannot be guaranteed" if the trial is conducted in Rivers State.
"That it is in consideration of security of lives of prosecutors, witnesses, court officials and innocent civilians that this matter be heard before this division of the Federal High Court", FG added.
Besides, FG narrated before the court, how a Deputy Superintendent of Police, Mohammed Alkali, and Sergeant Peter Uchi of the 48 Police Mobile Force were "gruesomely murdered and beheaded by thugs and cult gangs" on the day of the rerun elections, despite the deployment of law enforcement agencies ahead of the exercise.
FG had alleged that the N360million was proceeds of governor Wike's criminal conduct which it said constituted economic and financial crimes.
It alleged that the accused persons had between December 7 and 10, 2016, converted, concealed and took possession of the sum of N360million bribe, in violation of various provisions of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011 and the Economic and Financial Crimes (Establishment, etc) Act, 2004.
FG alleged that action of the defendants contravened section 15(1)(a)(ii), 17(b) and 18(a) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011.
In Count-4 of the charge, FG, alleged that the defendants, being "electoral officers and staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission, between December 7 and 10, 2016, at Port Harcourt, Rivers State, did commit an offence to wit: possession of the sum of N360,000,000, being money you received from Governor Ezenwo Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, knowing that the said money represented proceeds of bribery and corruption in connection with the Rivers State rerun election which took place on December 10, 2016."
FG earlier revealed that each of the electoral officers got N15million, while three senior electoral officers for the Senatorial Zones, received an extra N5million each, bringing the total bribe sum to N360million.
Already, it has lined up 14 witnesses, mostly policemen, to testify against the defendants.

Apparently, early 20th century prostitutes are the inspiration for women's fashion this coming spring. The season's whiter-than-white baby-doll dresses making their way down runways in Europe and the U.S.–from houses like Chloe and Prada–are inspired by a book of photos, "Bellocq: Photographs From Storyville, the Red Light District of New Orleans," according to The New York Times Spring 2006 Fashion Magazine.
Though prostitutes, the women portrayed in the book–in photographs taken by Ernest J. Bellocq–are (thankfully) more clothed than your average Britney Spears. It is not the first time they have been the inspiration for art-lovers over the last several decades, either–most notably, in 1970 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and the movie "Pretty Baby."
The Times describes the appeal of "Bellocq's Women" as a "mix of eroticism and innocence" and "a mix of the heaven-sent and the hellbent," a paradoxical combination that somehow women are supposed to pull off as the temperatures rise and winter coats come off.
So now we've gone from prim and proper, the overwhelming theme of the last several seasons, to prim and prostitute. Will women ever escape the virgin-whore motif? Apparently not any time soon.

This past week has been a huge success in my creative life. I've managed to produce two creative projects all the way through. This is big for me considering I have a tendency to have great ideas in my brain and then hold them hostage for some "rainy" day that never happens.
My current music obsession is an album by the Black Coats called Drakula Friendz. It totally knocked T-Swift's 1989 album out of my life (she had been holding steady for about a month or so). I highly encourage you to listen to the album when you get a chance because it is fantastic. Also please note, the Black Coats don't sound anything like T-Swift. Think more like Dick Dale met The Strokes and they formed a garage band in El Paso during the 1970s.
It's been a very long time since I've felt inspired to create. I recently got the Note 4 and I specifically got it because of the high quality camera it has. I discovered a great time-lapse app and decided to try it out while I sat down and painted.

Medium-term budgetary framework in the EU Member States: study case
Main Article Content
The current economic crisis has called for huge fiscal efforts to avoid a deflationary spiral. In the context of the crisis, the national fiscal frameworks may play an important role in sustaining budgetary retrenchment. Therefore, the need for a fiscal consolidation, meaning a well-designed fiscal and budgetary policy is a challenge for all EU Member States. Moreover, the importance of strong and resilient fiscal frameworks has been emphasised by the October 2009 Council conclusions on the fiscal exit strategy. On this premise, the paper discusses what elements and considerations should be taken into account more carefully in designing resilient fiscal frameworks so as to support optimal policy-making and to promote the respect of the Stability and Growth Pact provisions. The unit analysis consists on several EU Member States, affected by economic crisis. Taking into consideration the aim of the paper, the research methodology is based on a case study as research strategy, and uses the triangulation method to obtain confirmation of findings through convergence of different perspective. Regarding the qualitative research, the authors use theoretical framework, legal analyses, systematic and analytical collecting data from official written sources, and macroeconomic indicators for quantitative aspects.
Keywords: budgetary framework, restructuring process, governmental measures and policies.

South Africa : Environmental Affairs leads scientists on humpback whale scientific research voyage.
RV Algoa will focus on environmental sampling for analysis of chemical make-up of the region; this will include checking the available nutrients, and available food for whales. In addition to environmental sampling, a dedicated team of researchers will be recording every whale seen along a pre-designed research path.
On the other hand FRS Ellen Khuzwayo will be dedicated to biological sampling of humpback whales encountered in the region. Biological sampling will include collecting DNA samples, taking photographs of whale tails/flukes which serve as a unique identifier similar to finger prints in humans and attaching satellite tracking instruments in order to understand their movement and behaviour, both on the West coast and on their return to Antarctic feeding grounds. Small cameras will be attached on selected whales using suction cups in order to have a whale s view of the ocean. This will help us identify the prey types on the West coast while supplementing prey sampling from the prey (food) sampled from the RV Algoa.
Understanding the dynamics of humpback whales occurring off South Africa is important for population identification, abundance estimation and conservation management.
Humpback whales are a charismatic and acrobatic large whale species that typically visits the West coast of Africa every winter for breeding. Upon completion of breeding activities, they begin their 2500 km swimming journey to Bouvet Island, South West of Cape Town in late spring/early summer. These whales were heavily exploited and reduced to low numbers until interventions by concerned states through the International Whaling Commission (IWC), of which South Africa is a founding member.
Each year, thousands of international tourists descend on South African shores to view two types of visiting large whales, the southern right and humpback whale. Southern Right whales have enjoyed research attention for decades and our understanding of the biology of the species is relatively better than that of the humpback whale. Humpback whales that are found in South African waters have interesting behavioural characteristics. Some of these whales have suspended their migration, opting to mill around South Africa through all seasons.
Furthermore, these whales gather in South Africa for a feeding frenzy that scientists believe is unique to South Africa in the Southern Hemisphere. It is suspected that changes driven by climate change have influenced this unusual behaviour. Although an estimated 500 humpback whales are found in South African waters, no evidence of breeding has been recorded off the West coast of South Africa, raising question around their breeding locality.
This scientific research is also part of South Africa s continued efforts to understand our oceans. The research is conducted by DEA in collaboration with the University of Pretoria s Mammal Research Institute, DAFF, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (USA), Oregon State University (USA), Aqualie Institute (Brazil) and invaluable contributions from Australian Department of Environment s Marine Mammal Centre and BirdLifeSA.

HBO Canada, a multiplex channel of Astral's The Movie Network (Eastern Canada) and Corus Entertainment's Movie Central (Western Canada), welcomes back unlicensed private detective and noir-fiction obsessed writer Jonathan Ames, and endearingly arrogant former major-league pitcher Kenny Powers. Bored To Death (Season 2) premieres Sunday, September 26 at 10 p.m ET/MT, followed by Eastbound & Down (Season 2) at 10:30 p.m. ET/MT.
Starring Jason Schwartzman as Jonathan Ames – New York writer and wannabe private detective – the second season of Bored To Death begins as Jonathan decides to teach creative writing night classes to help make ends meet.
While moonlighting as a teacher, Jonathan continues to put his amateur sleuthing skills to use by taking on some new desperate clients ranging from a kinky politician to the publishing rival of his sexagenarian pal, George Christopher (Ted Danson). Bored To Death also stars Zach Galifianakis as Jonathan's laconic, hen-pecked cartoonist friend Ray Heuston.
The half-hour series is based on the semi-autobiographical musings of real-life eclectic author Jonathan Ames. Season 2 guest stars include Oliver Platt, Laila Robins, John Hodgman, Kristen Wiig, Kristen Johnson, Kevin Bacon, Olympia Dukakis, and Ames himself.
From several of Hollywood's top comedy minds, including Will Ferrell and Adam MacKay (Funny or Die Presents), HBO's no-holds-barred, half-hour comedy series Eastbound & Down returns to follow the exploits of arrogant, burned-out, former big league ball player Kenny Powers (Danny McBride). After learning in the Season 1 finale that an offer to pitch in Tampa Bay was bogus, Kenny dumped his then girlfriend April Buchanon at a local gas station, then headed south in his SUV alone with his humiliation.
As the second season begins, Kenny has landed in a small Mexican town where he's taken up residence with his lackey Steve Janowski (Steve Little) – who's tracked Kenny down using a credit card trail – and a new love interest, sultry lounge singer Vida (Ana de la Reguera). Together with his crew, Kenny fashions a comeback scenario that involves a local baseball team, the Charros, and its filthy-rich owner, Sebastian Cisneros (Michael Peña).
Bored To Death and Eastbound & Down will be simulcast on HBO Canada HD, and new episodes will be available on demand. Episodes will also be available on The Movie Network OnLine with Bell TV following their network premieres.

Outer Heaven - Realms Of Eternal Decay review
|Outer Heaven
|Realms Of Eternal Decay
|Release date:
|October 2018
01. Vortex Of Thought
02. What Lies Beneath
03. Pulsating Swarm
04. Multicellular Savagery
05. Echoes From Beyond
06. Tortured Winds
07. Bloodspire
08. Sacrificial Evolution
09. Putrid Dwelling
10. Decaying Realms
Yes, this is death metal. Filthy death metal.
We've had quite a few death metal debut albums released this year that were absolutely filthy, like that Innumerable Forms or that Summon one. I'm just listing the ones I reviewed, but there are many more than that. They all had a few things in common. They were preceded by an EP, the music isn't entirely original but doesn't feel like just a rehash of what any band has done before, they were all between 30 and 40 minutes in run time, they all had bits of either hardcore, sludge, or black metal mixed in, and they all favored a crushing, raw atmosphere (and production) over technicality. If that's your jam, you're in luck; 2018 was a great year for old-school death metal, and Realms Of Eternal Decay is a pretty worthy addition.
Given the previous paragraph, I guess it is about time I told you what sets Outer Heaven apart from other bands, and quite honestly I would pretty much use similar words that I've used to describe similar albums this year. They were all slimy and primitive and crushing, but not in exactly the same way, though having to put that "not exactly in the same way" into words is harder than it should be without just ticking boxes of all the words I should use like "riffs", "gutturals" and "raw" and yada yada. Outer Heaven deserves a bit better than that, because they've made a beast of an album, so rather than describe the music, I'll try to imagine a plot line for the album so you don't feel like you wasted your time reading this.
This is the story of a day where there was all this slime. A man was walking around and slime started coming out of him everywhere. There was so much slime that it filled up an elevator. He went to the store and there was just slime all over the place! People were slipping in it and they were all grossed out. One time the slime got a kid and a dog. At the end of the day everyone decided they would send him to space so that he would stop getting slime everywhere. The scariest part is that the man was you!!! (or he was a lady if you are a lady) and you forgot that this happened. And then a skeleton popped out.
I hope you enjoyed this story I copied from a troll creepy pasta and just replaced blood with slime, so it would fit. Please don't sue me. Instead let's celebrate the fact that the death metal scene lately is so strong that such a good album feels less new than it should be. The slime is slipping under your door.

National Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariff policy in Zambia
Zambia is rich in renewable energy resources, which include biomass, solar, wind and hydro. In spite of an enormous potential for electricity generation based on renewable energy resources, the utilisation of renewable energy is still low. The Ministry of Mines, Energy and Water Development therefore undertook consultations on the possibility of introducing a Renewable Energy Feed-in-Tariff (REFIT) policy.
Ea Energy Analyses worked together with Innovate Energy Pty Ltd. and SEE Sustainable Energy and Environment to assist the Department of Energy in developing a REFIT Policy that provides guidelines to various stakeholders involved in the deployment of the clean energy technologies in Zambia, particularly through private investment.
The project consisted of the following components:
Ea Energy Analyses was responsible for developing the methodology for the REFIT policy and policy development process, as well as providing the expertise on energy technologies. Lastly, Ea Energy Analyses conducted the final stakeholder workshop.
The project was conducted from July 2014 to June 2015.

Think of the accuracy of medical records as a continuum: At one end are accurate records; at the other end are modified records. Patient data becomes suspicious when there are detailed supplements, including information that might even be accurate and valid. Watch for detailed notes about treatment, patient discussion and post-treatment counsel. This is particularly important when there has been a negative outcome.
Risk managers call these addenda "panic notes;" they're almost always written because the healthcare provider has realized that the patient experienced a serious complication; the provider may even have discovered that the patient has consulted an attorney. When a physician or nurse learns that they're being sued, it's a safe assumption that the plaintiff attorney already has a copy of the medical record. This makes "panic notes" a particularly serious problem. Sharp plaintiff attorneys will request a second copy of the medical record after the case is in suit to see if the provider makes changes in the medical record.
Similarly, another type of suspicious medical record may contain duplicate information in a patient chart, yet the two pieces of data reflect inconsistencies. This raises questions about which piece of information is accurate. In both these situations, legal nurse consultants (LNCs) are ideally suited to compare the two copies of the medical record and unearth any evidence of tampering.
Tampering with Medical Records
There are several components of spoliation, or tampering with medical records. To qualify as spoliation, the record must reflect one of the following:
- Actual or attempted destruction: The destruction may be unsuccessful because someone has kept a copy of the original medical record.
- Suppression of medical records or evidence: Medical records are withheld.
- Failure to preserve evidence: A faulty IV pump involved in an incident was destroyed instead of being retained, for example.
- Creation or fabrication of evidence to support a defense or a claim
Red Flags for Tampering
Watch for these common indicators of possible tampering:
- An unexpected event (including but not limited to an escape from a healthcare facility, an injury, a fracture, a birth injury, a surgical error). Look for outcomes generally considered to be medical catastrophes.
- Missing, delayed, or incomplete medical records raise questions about whether someone is trying to change or alter records, or may be stalling to avoid providing them.
- Little or no documentation about a harmful event raises questions about tampering.
- An injury is inconsistent with the documentation. You may feel like you are looking at two different sets of facts.
- Documentation is too good to be true. It's inconsistent with clinical realities. Clinically, it is unlikely that somebody can go for four hours with perfectly stable vital signs with exactly the same pulse, respiration and blood pressure. That's a "too good to be true" vital sign record.
When a patient's medical record contains strong evidence of tampering, there are immediate implications for the medical provider(s), the patient and legal next steps.

For time
it must be the same
ticking off in different chimes
shapes that it cannot change.
For time it must be the same
stuck to the wall,
the wrist,
the table tops
twirling like dancers
when fingers twirl it's head.
For time it must be tedious
keeping time for others
never for itself
no gains
just the pain of moving
the same old pace,
never fast never slow,
till the end of time:
I write for the sheer joy of writing. :)

New Zealand weather – what to expect
Clothing for travel through New Zealand should be chosen to cope with unpredictable weather patterns. New Zealand weather is famously subject to change within a matter of hours or less. We're located between the Antarctic and the Equator and surrounded by vast oceans. A steady continental climate does not apply here. Unsettled weather doesn't usually stay for too long. In fact, you can have rain in the morning…
…and a warm sunny afternoon. You might get 4 seasons in one day!
Weather in different locations in New Zealand
Where you're located in New Zealand, will play a big part. The far north of the North Island has subtropical weather during summer….
….while the inland alpine areas of the South Island can be as cold as -10°C (14°F). The average New Zealand temperature decreases as you travel south. But generally we don't extremes and this is great for travelling! Read about packing for New Zealand.
January and February are the warmest months and July is the coldest month. In summer, the average maximum temperature ranges between 20-30ºC (70-90°F) and in winter between 10-15ºC (50-60°F). See more details on the weather and season in New Zealand. It's always good idea is ask your accommodation hosts about the local weather or check out Metservice.com. The Metservice 5 days forecasts are very helpful, especially if you have outdoor activities planned.
What clothing should I pack for New Zealand?
So prepare for all weather conditions. Stick with the "onion system" i.e. 2-3 layers of clothing, you can peel off. See visuals here.
The Essentials – Clothing for travel through New Zealand
Essential on the list is a good rain jacket, a quality fleece beneath and a polypro or merino shirt. The good old 'Swandri' has always been popular with Kiwi blokes. If you intend to hike/tramp, strong comfortable footwear is essential! If you need anything while in NZ just pop into a Kathmandu or MacPac shop. They're the outdoor clothing specialists.
When is formal dress expected?
We're pretty casual about dressing informally for restaurants and cafes. We make exceptions for weddings or an 'occasion'. A smart standard will be required for more upmarket restaurants, shows and casinos. Pam, our resident blogger, insisted on my using this photo as proof that she can ditch the t-shirts and elastic waist trousers for a bit of 'glam'.
Happy Travelling through New Zealand!

The following Confession was shared by Adele H. via email:
"It was a cool sunny Spring/Summer morning, I know it was that time of year because if it was full blown summer i wouldn't have been sitting outside due to the heat.
I was talking on the phone W/my friend Gail, she was talking so I wasn't making a sound. There was a slab of concrete down in front of me, where we'd put scraps of food, popcorn, bread, produce, all kinds of left overs for the Wildlife to eat.
We had a lot of different Wildlife that came to R slab to eat, we had ~ Wild Turkeys, Muskrats, Turtles, Ducks, Squirrls, Geese, Raccoons, Opossums, Ground Hogs, all different kinds of wild birds. & now We know we had Sasquatches as well.
Anyway as I was sitting there talking to my friend, I was watching all the critter's that had come to eat,. out of the cornor of my eye of my eye I saw this flash of beautiful Blonde hair bounding to the slab, @ first I thought it was an Afghan dog, because it's hair was smooth as silk & 6/7 inches long, it looked like someone had just brushed it's hair there was a gentle breeze blowing, so it's hair blew gracefully in the breeze.
Once it got down to the feeding station, it was on all 4's I could hear this grunting sound like a pig eatting, By now I was talking to Gail & I said Ur not going to believe what I'm seeing, I wasn't sure what it was but I started explaining this creature to her. He had black or very dark brown face, hands & feet, they looked like wrinkled leather. his nose was turned up a little but yet it was kind of smashed into his face like a monkey. his eyes were black. I say He because I didn't see any female parts, nor did I see any male parts either, so I just figured it was a male.
As I looked @ it I felt like I was seeing a Disney Character, I felt utopia, mesmerized, almost like I was floating, I felt kind of sick inside because I couldn't wrap my mind around what I was seeing. {By now I had told Gail that I'd call her back later} I was still in my chair trying to comprehend all that was happening, the next thing I knew this thing stood up on its back legs, it was 3/4 ft tall, @ the time I was 5 ft. so it was almost as tall as I was, or maybe he was, it was hard to judge everything as things were now moving fast & out of sorts, he walked up this small hill we had in R back yard on 2 feet like a Human..
By now I was shaking but I wanted to get a better look @ this thing, so I stood up but stayed by my chair. I felt kind of dizzy & wobbly rellay out of sorts.
When I stood up this creature dropped down on all 4's & took off like a road runner, he moved faster then any animal I'd ever seen move before. {It never occured to me that where a young 1 is there it's Mother or a watcher is also, until my Friend Dave Groves was talking to me about it years later & he said its a good thing U didn't make a move towards him. You see I didn't even think about it being a Sasquatch until we had moved away.} 7 1/2 years later & I started putting it all together.
I ran towards the house out of fear & I wanted to get my Camera in case this thing came back. I went out there long enough to take Photo's of the yard, & then I ran as fast as I could to get back into the house. I locked the doors scared that this thing what ever it was would come after me it could have come from a UFO for all I knew.. I sat & shook & cried until Tim {My Husband} came home about 45mins/1 hr later. I was still shook up when he came in & asked me what had happened.
Seeing this creature changed my life totally, I used to go out & work in the yard from the rising of the sun until it was dark out & Tim would have to come & ask me if I wasn't going to come in. After this encounter happened I wouldn't go out in the yard unless Tim came out W/me. He found this to be very odd behavior from what I was like before. He said don't be silly, I said I'm not being silly, U'd be afraid if U saw this thing just like I did and am, he'd just shake his head, he believe that I saw something, but he didn't understand the impact that it made on my life.
I tried to explain what it was I saw & he said it was just a Ground Hog, I said does a Ground Hog walk erect on it hind feet & stand almost as tall as I am, he said Nope. I said I rest my case. I named this thing the Nebster, where I came up W/the name I'll never know but I had to name it something so Tim would know what I was talking about.
I tried to go back where I saw him run to, it was in a grove of tall trees & low bushes, but there was to much Poison Ivy back there so I stopped going back any further.
We didn't live in that trailer much longer after that because it had Black Mold in it, the owner before us vented the dryer under the house instead of outside.....
....I wrote a report before this 1 but as I've read it, I see where I had left a few things out & had some mispelled words, so I've re-written my report. I also have Multiple Sclerosis & sometime I don't remember to add some vital parts.
We've since moved out to Zeeland Mi. we've had encounters here as well & now I know what it is that is leaving foot prints in the snow.
Although the sun had melted the tracks somewhat, U can still see the 5 toes.
We also found a strange foot print under R carport about 1 year ago {2017} & had an expert look @ the print & he say's it's a Dogman's print, much to my dismay. I'd rather face SASQUATCH then a DOGMAN any day of the week."
About the photos below:
"Here R the photo's of the yard where it took place, in a few of the Pix's U can see the arm of the chair where I was sitting, {The Nebster} what I named the Juvenile Sasquatch so my husband Tim would know who or what I was talking about, was down by the bird bath, if U look @ where my chair is sitting & look @ the bird bath, U'll see how close I was to him. I also put in the Google earth shots so U could see the whole area. The interstate runs East & West.
My Trailer which is no longer there, but a new 1 was put in it's place.
The drive way sits to the West There R carports on both sides of R old driveway.
Where I was sitting in my chair, my chair was facing East. behind the wiskey barrels is the pond that turns into a Creek, theres a photo of an appartment parking lot, that is where the creek starts, & it ran down into the pond the pond then runs South or to the right of my chair."

Hubert von Goisern on the election, candidates and the Greens
The Salzburg musician Hubert von Goisern actually prefers to be on trips abroad and dedicates himself with body and soul to his music. It is an exception to find him on the political stage in Salzburg during this election campaign.
"I could not imagine doing such a thing. I wouldn't have the guts," the alpine rocker says of the job of a politician. If he had the opportunity to stir things up politically, then the 51 year old would first do it in cultural politics: "In this respect, everything is so conservative in Salzburg, so turned backwards."
The reason why the musician has now spoken is that he "wishes for something new in Salzburg". "I would really like it if the Greens came into power. If I can contribute something, then I do. Mind you, there are boundaries," says the musician.
In a way he can understand that the SP boss Gabi Burgstaller has such a good position with the population. "She has charm - but I don't know what she does." Hubert von Goisern sees the ÖVP's decision to put Wilfried Haslauer into the race before the election as "fair with respect to the voters". Although he adds: "We'll see whether this move also works out at the final account."
Green freshness
"The other parties certainly also have good people. But the camp pressure is simply to great there," the musician continues. "I like the freshness with the Greens. I often have the impression with the other parties that they are too resigned."
Salzburg's Greens have become calmer in their politics. "I judge the positive. You need balanced expert politics in order to find a broad basis. For that you must grow out of the stadium of the youth rebels," says Hubert von Goisern.
Should the Greens be represented in the government, the musician - like 13% of Salzburg residents - prefers a combination with the Reds: "I think that works better than Green-Black together."
Start of the election campaign
[...] The famous Salzburg artist and professed supporter of the Greens stood on the election campaign stage himself for a few minutes and had to face a cross examination. "How do people in Tibet handle resources?", Martina Berthold, third on the party list, wanted to know. Von Goisern: "The people there are not at all tempted to act in a primitive manner!" And his hope for the Salzburg Greens? "They should win the election. When they come [into government], then I can play my concerts in peace."

Fernando Clavijo, former New England Revolution head coach, dies at 63
When the New England Revolution announced in November 1999 that Fernando Clavijo would become the team's new head coach, he stressed the importance of being forthright.
"As a player I always appreciated an upfront and honest coach," he told the Globe then. "I don't mean someone who is always nice but who speaks to my face without bending the truth. Players might not accept it right away, but in the end they realize it is better this way."
Mr. Clavijo, who was 63 when he died Friday in his Fort Lauderdale, Fla., home of multiple myeloma, guided the Revolution to its first playoff victory in the team's five-year history during his first year as head coach. He also led the Revolution, which is owned by the Kraft family, to the US Open Cup finals. During Mr. Clavijo's tenure, he was the team's first coach to complete two full seasons, before he was fired in May 2002 after a string of losses. Even then, he remained forthright.
"I have no bad feelings about this. I wish all the best for the Kraft family, the fans, the players, the new coaching staff, everyone who works in the organization," Mr. Clavijo told the Globe. "I made a lot of sacrifices to be here and I always wanted to leave Boston with my head high and winning, but I will leave with my head high and not winning."
In a statement, the Revolution said the organization was "saddened by the passing of Fernando Clavijo, who served as our head coach from 2000-2002. His significant impact on the sport of soccer will long be felt and we are grateful for all his contributions."
Mr. Clavijo's death was announced by FC Dallas, the team he had served as technical director until stepping down last fall because of failing health.
An immigrant from Uruguay, Mr. Clavijo had been a starter for the 1994 US World Cup team before beginning a lengthy coaching and management career in Major League Soccer.
He made 61 appearances for the US national team from 1990 to 1994, mostly as a defender, and was inducted into the US National Soccer Hall of Fame in 2005.
"Fernando was an important leader with three MLS clubs, and he played a key role in the league's player development strategy," Don Garber, the league's commissioner, said in a statement. "More importantly, he was a joy to everyone who knew him and inspired countless young players."
Born in Uruguay, Mr. Clavijo told the Globe that he began playing soccer while growing up in Punta del Este, a beach resort in the state of Maldonado. He said in a 2001 interview that his father, Martin, was an accountant for the city and that his mother, Irma, was a nurse.
Mr. Clavijo rose from street games and organized leagues to turn pro at 16 for the Atenas club in San Carlos, Uruguay.
In 2001, he recalled that a couple of years after marrying, he and his wife, Martha, moved to the United States not so that he could pursue soccer, but for a better standard of living.
Settling initially in Elizabeth, N.J., in 1979, they worked in a textile factory. Mr. Clavijo said he took to sweeping and mopping with the same zeal he brought to soccer "because whatever job I do, I do with pride, and I want to be the best at it."
He got his first break as a player with American Soccer League's New York United, based on Long Island, N.Y., where he and his wife supplemented his playing income by working at a restaurant.
Mr. Clavijo then played for the New York Arrows of the Major Indoor Soccer League. From there, he moved to the San Jose-based Golden Bay Earthquakes of the North American Soccer League, and then to the MISL's San Diego Sockers. With the Sockers he won five league titles to augment the two he had won with the Arrows. He went on to play with the Los Angeles Lazers and the St. Louis Storm.
Mr. Clavijo became a US citizen in 1987 and debuted for the US team in 1990. He played for the team in the 1994 World Cup, including a 2-1 win against Colombia at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.
Before each match, he cried in the runway, not from sadness "but tears of overwhelming joy," he later recalled to the Globe. "Here I was representing 250 million people. It was overwhelming."
Mr. Clavijo started his coaching career in 1991 as a player-coach with the St. Louis Storm of the Major Indoor Soccer League. After his playing days were done, he coached the Seattle SeaDogs of the Continental Indoor Soccer League (1995-97) and the Florida ThunderCats of the National Professional Soccer League (1998-99).
He also was an assistant coach, first with Nigeria at the 1998 World Cup and then with MLS's New York/New Jersey MetroStars in 1999, before beginning his tenure as the Revolution's head coach with the 2000 season.
After the Revolution, he led Haiti's national team from 2003 to 2005 and coached MLS's Colorado Rapids from 2005 to 2008. His final coaching stint was with Miami FC of the second-tier NASL in 2009.
During his tenure in Dallas's front office, the team finished with MLS's best regular season record in 2016, when it won the US Open Cup.
"If a player is destructive for the rest of the team, I will have no reservations to move them out," Mr. Clavijo told the Globe in August 2005, when he was coaching the Colorado Rapids.
He added that if players "don't have the best intention as far as the club is concerned, if they are not willing to sacrifice for the club, I will remove them. I do not hesitate to give someone a second chance but I will always look out for the best interests of the club."
While coaching teams, as was the case during his years playing, he focused on the ultimate goal.
"We have to make sure everyone believes in what we are working for. Winning is a habit," he told the Globe in 1999, when the Revolution announced he would become the team's coach. "We might have to change some attitudes. You can be a winner or a loser, but what we have to do is concentrate on winning and we will be all right."
Complete information about survivors and a memorial service was not immediately available.
The Associated Press reported that Mr. Clavijo leaves his wife, Martha; their sons, Nico and Jonathan; and two grandchildren.
