Just wanted to share this fun Zentangle from my sketchbook today. Was inspired by @mannneylucero on Instagram. He drew a zentangle vine like this one...I loved the look and was playing around with it last night while doodling. Today I finished it and liked the look.
Below are a few in progress shots of this one.
Zentangle is so relaxing and fun to do. For me it is a great way to unwind and just create. It works as a great warm up too before I draw or paint.

Governor Nakaima has betrayed his promises to the people of Okinawa. He sold you out to LDP leaders intent upon militarizing Japanese society, to U.S. leaders determined to maintain America's "empire of bases" regardless of the wishes of local populations, and to U.S. and Japanese corporate interests planning to benefit from fortifying Okinawa as an imperial outpost. Like David against a mighty Goliath, the people of Okinawa have struggled valiantly to resist this unjust incursion. You have captured the hearts of all those around the world who are fighting for social justice. If Onaga-san wins election on Sunday, he will need to use his power as Governor to cancel Nakaima's reclamation approval. Anything less than that will be another betrayal to Okinawa. The people of Okinawa's fight is our fight and our thoughts are with you at this critical moment.

A Chicago Suburb Seeks to Disown its Roads, Will Others Follow?
"Facing an annual funding gap of more than $1 million, Long Grove trustees have twice in recent months affirmed a plan that could privatize nearly half of the village's public roads — transferring the cost of upkeep and plowing to the residents in the process," reports Duaa Eldeib.
How did the affluent community get itself into this problem in the first place? A lack of property taxes, building permit revenues that were decimated by the recession, and "29 miles of public roads for a relatively small population of about 8,000," are seen as the primary contributing factors.
"Experts in public planning and municipal finance agree that Long Grove has hit upon an unusual potential solution to a commonplace problem," adds Eldeib. "They say other communities also struggling to make ends meet could follow suit as aging roads deteriorate and revenue streams dry up. Yet such plans could eat away at the public's trust in local leadership even as they mitigate public deficits, warned Joseph Schwieterman, a DePaul University transportation professor."
"It's going to create resentment that city hall has broken its contract to fix the roads, and that could lead to turmoil that tears at the social capital of a community," he said.

While the Ik may be seen as victims of a characteristically modern, "post-colonial" situation, the radical changes recorded by Turnbull can give us an insight into what could have happened at certain times in the past, when a particular population is suddenly placed under tremendous stress to the point that the most basic cultural norms begin to break down. Of special significance for us is the relative scarcity of musical references in the book. Whenever singing is mentioned, it's almost always solo singing, not surprising in an atmosphere where social cohesion is breaking down and "every man for himself" has become the norm. The only group singing noted by Turnbull among the Ik is the singing of Christian hymns, and that takes place only when a group is expecting a consignment of food from some missionaries (who never show up). He has nothing to say about what their music might have been like in the past, but if the Ik were a typical African tribe, we can be almost 100% sure that group singing would have been common. In the context described in the book, however, occasions for group singing, either for pleasure or for traditional ritual purposes, no longer exist.
Of course, the Ik represent an extreme case, and it's not difficult to imagine such a disaster leading to a culture dying out completely. But what if it doesn't die out? What if there are survivors who manage to begin anew at some point, what will they be teaching their children? What aspects of their old culture are likely to survive, what are likely to be lost and what new elements are likely to be introduced?Under such dire circumstances it's difficult to imagine that a highly interactive, group-oriented musical tradition such as P/B could have survived. And it's not difficult to imagine how it could have been replaced by something much simpler, as was apparently the case among the Ik. And other traditions reflecting the African origins of the migrants may also have been lost. If the most gifted and experienced wood carvers had been killed, then the African wood carving traditions might have died with them. If the leading shamans died, then the most elaborate rituals might have died with them. It's important to realize that once a tradition is lost, to the point that there is no longer anyone to hand it down to the younger generation, then it is most likely gone forever.

Doubling your investment is possible in ways that range from taking advantage to employer match contributions into a retirement fund to using stock options and margin transactions to grow your account rapidly, notes Investopedia. Different strategies incur different levels of risk.
Companies that offer to match their employees' contributions to a 401(k) or similar retirement plan make doubling money simple. If your employer contributes 50 cents for every $1 that you contribute, the you're really only out about 75 cents, because that $1 comes out before taxes. However, $1.50 goes into your retirement account, meaning that you get twice your real cost for each contribution, instantly doubling your money, reports Investopedia.
Speculators use techniques such as options to invest in stock quickly. Use puts and calls to make short-term bets on as many as 100 shares of stock with each option, and take advantage quickly when prices go your way so that your fast gain doesn't evaporate. When prices go wrong, you can lose a lot of money in a hurry, according to Investopedia.
Zero-coupon bonds offer a way to double money, although it takes patience. If you a $1,000 zero-coupon bond with a 5 percent annual interest rate for $500, you double your money upon maturity, as stated by Investopedia.

Good morning, everyone! I'm excited to have Louise at PaleoMagazine.com guest posting for me today. She is here to share her awesome and delicious recipe for Make-All-the-Time Chocolate Chip Cookies. Louise also just released her new cookbook, which comes with some amazing recipes and a bunch of awesome bonuses – click here to check it out!
Here's Louise…
Despite the name, I don't actually recommend making these cookies "all the time," even if you find yourself wanting to.
They're just too yummy, and it's hard to stop eating them.
For sure, there are a lot of great Paleo cookie recipes, but Jeremy (my husband) and I can't resist the fresh-baked yumminess of chocolate chip cookies every once in a while.
If you make these, I highly recommend the Enjoy Life chocolate chips, which have much better ingredients than 99% of chocolate chips you can find. (And they're even sold in Target now!)
Make-All-The-Time Chocolate Chip Cookies
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 27 minutes
Yield: 5-6 servings
Serving Size: 3-4 cookies
- 1 1/2 cups (143 g) almond flour (I use THIS brand)
- 1/2 cup (56 g) coconut flour (I use THIS brand)
- 1/4 cup (43 g) shredded coconut (like this)
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract
- 2-3 Tablespoons (32-63 g) raw honey
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) ghee, melted
- 1/2 cup (66 g) chocolate chips (I use THIS soy, nut, and dairy free brand)
- Dash of salt (I use THIS brand)
- Preheat oven to 325 F (163 C) and place parchment paper on a baking tray.
- Mix all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl (add the chocolate chips in after everything else has been mixed together well).
- Form small 2-inch diameter cookies and place on baking tray. It should make around 20 cookies.
- Bake for 12 minutes. Remove baking tray from oven and cool for a few minutes before removing cookies from baking tray.

Colours of October for AJJ
I love owls and on our last trip away for the season in the caravan we could hear them each evening in the woodland where we were staying.
24 comments:
Beautiful piece, owls are always great with autumnal colours. I have used that quote on one of my pages, too, it is so beautiful. Have a lovely day, and thanks for your mail, will reply later. Hugs, ValerieReplyDelete
Not only is this a genuine beauty, it is also so very true. I love everything about this latest AJJ entry.ReplyDelete

Magical! Beautiful page Yvonne.ReplyDelete
Hugs Flo xx
Stunning page Yvonne! Wonderful hybrid work! I do have a question though, - once you have finished adding the digital imagery, do you then print the finished piece or keep it as a digi file??ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Astrid,Delete
I do mainly keep the completed pages in a digital file. If they were to be used on a journal spread then I print them out.
This 8 x 8 original page will get some typically crafty additions added later, so is currently labelled work in progress.
I often finish pages digitally, these days as my hands and fingers, don't hold things as well as they once did.
hope this answers your question
Yvonne x
Lovely Autumn page, perfect journal pages to use later as well.ReplyDelete
Cute details. Beautiful page and colours.ReplyDelete
Happy Sunday ❤

I hope to see a wild owl out in nature one day...so far it's a not yet.
Hearing them must be a real thrill too.
Wowww, what a wonderful page. I like these and the other pages very well again.ReplyDelete
Hugs Carola
That's great how you started from your painting and then added the stamped owl (I love this owl in front of his castle) and then merged all the parts together. Great result.ReplyDelete
Imagine hearing the owls from your caravan, that must have been wonderful.
This is my favourite as I just love owls. You have inspired me to do some Autumn pages now.ReplyDelete

The Personality of Generation M
The Wired Life: The Public and Private Spheres of the Gen M Community is written by Karen J. Klapperstuck and Amy J. Kearns. The article evaluates statistical observations of how middle school and high school students spend their time while not in school. They assert that members of Generation M spend six to eight hours every day using two or more media simultaneously. They have not stopped using old media such as television or broadcast music. They have added to those media the Internet and cell phone texting (111). Multi-tasking multi-media is part of the personality of Gen M. This constant connection makes privacy less important to individuals. Their privacy removed, other liberties, enjoyed by previous generations have also been removed affecting their personality.
D'Angelo notes that when members of Generation M were children, they were the first to be riding their bicycles illegally if they were riding without helmets. Their entrance into school led them through metal detectors. She goes on to assert that no previous generation was as confident as this and that they consider a positive self image is a right. They do work well in groups. In a new way, they value the opinion of the group while valuing less their own privacy. For the first time in history, adolescents broadcast their teenage anxieties to the entire world, via their smart phones on social networking sites (97).
This global broadcast of personal feelings is significant in that their personal lives are no longer private. A positive aspect of this privacy being removed is that the self-consciousness involved in shyness is also removed. Removing the apprehension of publicizing their thoughts benefits the rest our society in that their creative thinking is more accessible to the world. The downside of this can be that thoughts are all over the place, disorganized and non-factual. Still a member of Generation M is a great person to have on a team creatively troubleshooting problems because they are not embarrassed to throw their ideas out in the open.
There is another disadvantage for the Generation M individual divulging his personal life globally. Cyber bullying is a danger that, in contrast to face to face bullying, the victim cannot escape danger by going home.
Sharing feelings with a support group is not new in this Generation. Generation X and the Baby Boomers and earlier generations have realized the benefit in disclosing life's struggles and victories. However, members of Generation M are able to share feelings about their experiences instantly, and globally. Their sphere of caring friends is a much wider support group than older generations enjoyed. The benefit they realize, disclosing their struggles, is greater than previous generations in that there is a more diverse, extensive, instant feedback from the support group. Currently this benefit is greater than the risk of cyber bullying, as was indicated by the popularity of My Space and now Facebook and Twitter. In general, the Generation M personality embraces the advantage it has over older generation's personality.
Multi-tasking Productivity
It would seem that a person able to multi-task multiple media six to eight hours every day would get a lot done. However, the productivity may have not reached its full potential because of the media that are tasked simultaneously. Most students are working on a computer while listening to music or watching TV or they alternate media while on the computer. "What needs to be learned as parents and educators is that activity should not be mistaken as achievement" (D'Angelo 104).
The author goes on to say that their apparent mastery of multi-tasking may actually be sequential processing. The student isn't listening and computing simultaneously. It is likely he or she is "ignoring" and computing simultaneously. The prefrontal cortex part of the brain, where multi-tasking is accomplished is the last part of the brain to develop. Younger students are not processing information simultaneously. Studying for a math exam and writing a book report for example are impossible because of the interference between the two tasks. It is worth saying that some competition of thought processes helps improve concentration, but too much deters from the primary task the brain is trying to do (104).
Even though it may seem that multiple media pumping information at the same time is a large quantity of information for a student to take in, the reality is that some, if not most, of the onslaught of information is discarded in favor of the singular task at hand. However, the people of Generation M are comfortable with the onslaught. However, they are probably tasking sequentially, ignoring the less important the less important media. They are not actually multi-tasking, as Klapperstuck and Kearns assert, taking in information from multiple media simultaneously for six to eight hours a day (111).
While taking in multiple media, sequentially tasking their productivity, he or she produces the minimum to get by. Later it will be shown that most high school students that drop out do so because they are bored or because they felt the lack of challenge is a waste of their time. This is not different than drop outs in Generation X or the Baby Boomers. What is different from the previous generations is that Generation M drop outs are getting B's and C's and are for the most part less than two years from graduation. In earlier generations, students that left high school were held back in earlier grades, so they were older when they dropped out. Also, they had difficulty passing their classes (Happel). So in the midst of the oversupply of information given to them, it seems that Generation M is less productive because they choose to be.

As part of the UI rewrite, three new
acronyms features have landed in the CollectionSpace services layer. These will be available in the next release of CollectionSpace (tentatively numbered 4.5). You can try them today by building and deploying the master branch to your own server, or by hitting our nightly build server at http://nightly.collectionspace.org:8180/cspace-services.
JSON Output
The REST API now returns data in JSON format when requested, and accepts data in JSON format when it is provided. This is a necessary step towards eliminating the application layer.
The services layer treats XML as its first-class serialization format; it contains code that explicitly generates XML and expects to receive XML. For this reason, the JSON provided as output and expected as input is not a direct serialization of CollectionSpace resources. Instead, JSON is produced by converting XML output as it exits the services layer, and JSON is converted back into XML as it enters the services layer. This results in a couple of oddities, like using
@ to prefix fields that are translated from XML attributes, and using
@xmlns: to prefix fields that correspond to XML namespace declarations.
To request data in JSON format, send the HTTP
Accept header, with value
To send data in JSON format, send the HTTP
Content-Type header, with value
OAuth 2 Tokens
The REST API now grants and accepts authorization tokens. This is another step towards eliminating the application layer.
Tokens are granted following the OAuth 2 specification. Currently only the resource owner password credentials grant and refresh token grant are supported. Only one client identifier is currently allowed:
cspace-ui. In the terminology of the specification, the
cspace-ui client represents a public client and a user-agent-based application. Since this client is public (and therefore incapable of keeping a secret), the client secret (sent as the basic auth password in the following examples) is empty.
Tokens my be obtained by sending a POST request to the
/oauth/token endpoint:
This returns an access token and a refresh token.
The access token may be used to authorize requests against CollectionSpace resources. This is done by sending the HTTP
Authorization header:
The refresh token may be used to obtain a new access token – typically, after the current access token has expired. This is done by sending a POST to the
/oauth/token endpoint:
- Access tokens are set to expire in one hour, and refresh tokens in 12 hours. Once the refresh token has expired, the user must re-authenticate with their username and password.
- The tokens are JWT, but this may change in the future. For now they should be considered opaque strings.
- The above examples are contrived to demonstrate how the API is used. For one-off curl requests, it's easier to use basic auth, which is still supported. Token auth is preferred when you're using a client that handles the token management for you.
- Tokens are signed with a random key generated when the services layer starts. Restarting the CollectionSpace server changes the signing key, invalidating all outstanding tokens. This means that all users must re-authenticate with their username and password. Restarting CollectionSpace is in fact the only way to revoke an outstanding token. There is no way to revoke an individual token; they will all be invalidated.
Future enhancements will include configurability – for example, of allowed client identifiers and associated secrets, token expiration times, and token signing keys – and support for additional OAuth 2 grant types. Additional design work around revoking individual tokens is also required.
The REST API may now be configured to accept cross-origin requests. This allows flexibility in deploying JavaScript applications that utilize CollectionSpace services. An application served from a museum's own domain (e.g. http://hearstmuseum.berkeley.edu) may now access CollectionSpace at a hosting provider's domain (e.g. http://cspace.berkeley.edu). For example, a hosting provider might choose to host only the CollectionSpace services layer, while a museum hosts the UI on their own servers.
Cross-origin requests are not allowed by default. Domains may be whitelisted for CORS on a single CollectionSpace server by adding a security.properties file to tomcat's lib directory. The
cors.allowed.origins property accepts a comma separated list of domains:
Alternatively, the default value of
cors.allowed.origins may be modified in the source tree by editing applicationContext-security.xml.

Happy Tuesday everbody! This month has been a really good month for me in terms of reading, blogging, and making YouTube videos! I can't believe the first month of 2017 is coming to a close already! With that being said, I'm excited to see what February has in store.
Keep reading to see what I've written this month, what I've read, and some statistics! : )
Books Read
Here are a list of books that I read this month:
- Sink or Swim (Whatever After #3)
- Monstress Vol. 1
- The Man Who Walked Between The Towers
- Sugar & Spice (L.A. Candy, #3)
- Dream On (Whatever After, #4)
- The Walked Dead, Vol. 3
- Good Night, Mouse
- 1, 2 Buckle My Shoe
- Blackout
- A Splendid Friend Indeed
- The Wicked + The Divine, Vol. 4
- The Miserable Mill (A Series of Unfortunate Events, #4)
- Giant Days, Vol. 1
- My Brilliant Friend (Neapolitan Novels, #1)
- If You Give A Pig A Pancake
- A Monster Calls
- Salt to the Sea
- Bad Hair Day (Whatever After, #5)
- Grimm Fairy Tales, Vol. 3
- You Can't Touch My Hair
- Are You An Echo?
- Du Iz Tak
- Starry River of the Sky
- From Head to Toe
- Owen
- My Friend Rabbit
Okay so I haven't done this before, but I was really interested in looking at the statics affiliated with what I read this so far this year and I've broken in down into several categories including genre of the books, origin of the author, and the number of total pages read. Keep reading to check out some of the charts I came up with.
This first graph is a look at the origin of the authors I've read. I'm trying to push myself to be more diverse in my reading and choice of authors so I decided to start looking at the origin of the authors I'm reading. So far I'm still reading more authors from the US more than anything. I'm hoping to change that in the future.
So I read all over the place this month and I'm happy I did! I want to increase the number of adult and non-fiction books I read each month though. I think that would round out my reading nicely.
For the most part I gave books this month either 3 or 4 stars. I'm not surprised considering that's how I usually rate my books whenever I'm reading. I was lucky to actually read 3 5-star books this month. That rarely ever happens.
This month I also read a total of 3695 pages which is great! Let me know in the comments how the month of January went for you guys.

Proposed Energy Conservation Actions for Lamps, Water Heaters, Lamp Ballasts, Spray Valves
High-Intensity Discharge Lamps. The Department of Energy is proposing to determine that potential energy conservation standards for high-intensity discharge lamps are either not technologically feasible or not economically justified. Specifically, DOE concludes that standards for high-pressure sodium lamps are not technologically feasible and that standards for mercury vapor and metal halide lamps are not economically justified. There are currently no federal energy conservation standards for HID lamps, and if DOE's determination is finalized that would continue to be the case. Comments on this proposed determination are due no later than Dec. 22.
Water Heating Equipment. DOE has initiated separate rulemakings to consider amended energy conservation standards for (a) commercial water heaters, hot water supply boilers, and unfired hot water storage tanks (commercial water heating equipment) and (b) solar-thermal water heating systems where solar components are paired with electric and/or fossil fuel-fired water heaters, which are utilized as secondary heat sources. In each case DOE is seeking no later than Nov. 20 information to help it determine whether national standards more stringent than those currently in place would result in a significant amount of additional energy savings and whether such amended standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified.
Fluorescent Lamp Ballasts. DOE is accepting through Nov. 20 comments, data and information on a proposed rule that would amend test procedures for fluorescent lamp ballasts. Proposed changes would include adopting text to clarify the requirement to use the test procedures for the measurement of energy and water consumption in Appendix Q1 to demonstrate compliance with the new and revised energy conservation standards that apply to fluorescent lamp ballasts manufactured on or after Nov. 14, 2014. The proposed rule would also correct an error in the formula for power factor in Appendix Q1. DOE also intends to publish a separate proposed rule in the near future to clarify several additional issues raised by stakeholders concerning the applicability and requirements of the energy conservation standards and test procedures for fluorescent lamp ballasts.
Spray Valves. DOE has extended from Oct. 27 to Nov. 12 the deadline for the submission of comments, data and information on a framework document that details the analytical approach and preliminary scope of coverage for a rulemaking process that will consider amending the energy conservation standards for commercial pre-rinse spray valves.

Today marked the moment when Scotland Women's captain Donna Kennedy won her 100th cap for her country.
However, she was unable to celebrate her momentous achievement with a win as Scotland lost by three tries to two.
Both Lucy Millard and Tanya Griffith crossed the line for Scotland in the first half to give them a ten point lead at the break.
In the second half, with Scotland suffering from a combination of fatigue and French pressure, the hosts ran in three tries and added a penalty to their tally to pull the game from Scotland's grasp.
Speaking after the game, Scotland Womenâ's head coach, Lee Adamson said: "Today was always going to be a difficult game, especially with the added pressure of Donna's historic 100th cap. The players really wanted to give her the win that she deserved.
"The girls put in a magnificent performance in the first half only to be undone by a more accomplished French team."
After today's game, the Scotland Women's team will commemorate Donna's historic cap record with a series of presentations. She will receive a special golden cap, an official book of congratulations from the team and the local community in Maurepas presented her with a gift alongside a French player who had just won her first cap today.

Try testing a site for kids with a site looks like the NY Times...all the kids will say it sucks and is boring, no matter how searchable the content is.
For some audiences, Flash works because it makes it easier to embed rich media and make the site entertaining. A lot of websites are built for entertainment.
I don't think anyone knows what will happen, including Google and Adobe.
It seems like over the past week Google is hitting the Javascript to make the flash work, even though they say they don't. My site went from 3 flash files indexed to 1,200 in about 3 days.
As far as the duplicate content, I am not sure if it will be a problem yet, it seems like Google is not pulling xml from external sources that load into the flash, but it is still crawling the content from xhtml.
Anyway the next few weeks will be interesting.

Making cross-disability training inclusive
Since 2011, Inclusion International has been supporting the International Disability Alliance (IDA) to develop and deliver an inclusive cross-disability training focused on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Inclusion International has ensured that self-advocates and families were included in each of the pilot stages of the training.
Most recently, Inclusion International council member, Nagase Osamu helped co-facilitate a training in March 2016, in Bangkok. David Corner, with support from Julia Hawkins, presented at the training and four self-advocates, Ms. Payanart Sukjaroen and Ms. Phacharin Sujaritwatanasak, of Daoru Ang from Thailand, and Ms. Saw Myintzu and Ms. The Sue Moe, self-advocates of Future Stars group from Myanmar, took part in the training. The participation of self-advocates contributed to the success of the overall training. By making the workshop more inclusive and more participatory, including for self-advocates, the workshop became more effective.
In early April, 2016, Inclusion International supported Fatma Wangare from Kenya to participate in a training for trainers. Inclusion Internaitonal's participation and the development of leaders from our community will help to ensure the continued inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities and their families in the training.

What is MLC Critical Illness Insurance?
A serious illness or injury is not something that we can foretell the coming of – we all hope that we will live long and relatively healthy lives but the fact is that anyone can find themselves falling victim to an illness such as this. Whilst there is little that we can do to stop this, one thing that we can do is take measures to minimise on the impact that it can have on us and our family in terms of finances.
With protective cover in place, such as MLC Critical Illness Insurance cover, you have the peace of mind that if you do become critically ill you and your family will not be left with the stress of money problems and having to cope with this in addition to the stress of the illness itself.
Edit your details
Did you submit incorrect details? Not to worry, you can edit them below.
Features of MLC Critical Illness Insurance
|at any time
|Death benefit (If bought stand-alone)
|Financial Planning Benefit
|Increases without Medical Evidence
|Child Support Benefit
|What Options can you choose at an additional cost
|Double critical illness
|12 month life cover buyback
|Not available under stand-alone)
|Critical illness buyback
|Only on plus pan
Conditions apply, make sure you read the product disclosure statement (PDS) before applying. Information last checked as correct in November 2017 and is subject to change at anytime.
Different Levels of MLC Critical Illness Cover to Match Your Needs
With MLC Critical Illness Insurance cover you can choose from two different levels of cover, which means that you can ensure that your cover caters for both your needs as well as your budget. The two levels of cover that are available as part of the MLC Critical Illness Insurance plan are:
- Standard cover, which offers protection for some of the most common critical illnesses. This is a lower cost form of cover that is ideal for the budget conscious
- Plus cover, which is a more comprehensive and protective plan, covering a wider range of critical conditions and offering a range of optional extras for those that want to tailor their plan more specifically
The MLC Critical Illness Insurance plan offers a range of invaluable features, helping to ensure that you get cover that is both suited to your needs and offers value for money in terms of cost. Some of the features of this cover include:
- The ability to increase your cover due to changes in your personal or working life without having to undertake any further medicals
- Reimbursement of up to $5000 for the preparation of a written financial plan, which has been prepared by a qualified financial expert, if a lump sum payment of $100,000 or more has been paid out to you
- Child support benefit, where a lump sum of $10,000 is paid out if your child first suffers from an eligible condition or dies (you must have cover of $100,000 or more to qualify)
- The ability to freeze your stepped premiums from the age of thirty onwards, which means that you will pay the same amount rather than increasing amounts but your benefit level will reduce each year
- A payout of $5000 if a stand-alone critical illness benefit cannot be paid out due to death occurring within fourteen days of you suffering a critical condition
Reasons why you should consider taking out critical illness cover
The main reason why you might consider taking out critical illness cover such as MLC Critical Illness Insurance, is because none of us know what might happen to us in the future, but what many of us can be pretty certain of is that something like a critical illness would leave us and our loved ones far worse off in terms of finances.
Critical illness insurance will help to make sure that you and your family do not have any additional stresses to burden you at a time when you should be focusing on trying to make a full recovery and they will be focusing on providing you with the care that you need to expedite your recovery.
If you are a main income earner and you have people that depend on you to take care of them, such as young kids, it is particularly important that you take out protective cover such as this. Remember, even if you fall critically ill and cannot work or earn money, it will still be necessary to pay for things such as:
- Keeping a roof over your head by paying the mortgage or rent
- Paying the household bills
- Putting food on the table
- Buying clothing for yourself and the kids
- Paying for the kids' education
- Dealing with any debt payments or other regular financial commitment
So next time that you're thinking about how to make yourself more financially independent remember to give a thought to you family and loved ones and take steps to make sure you can keep them financially secure.
Exclusions you should be aware of
Your MLC Critical Illness policy will not pay a benefit if:
- Your claim arises from any intentional self-inflicted injury or attempted suicide
- Your claim is for any sickness or injury that first occurred, displayed symptoms or was diagnosed before your insurance started or was last reinstated
If you purchase Critical Illness Insurance as a standalone policy, the death benefit of $5,000 will not be paid if you commit suicide within 13 months of when the policy started or was last reinstated.
Who is eligible for MLC Critical Illness Insurance?
- In order to qualify for an MLC Critical Illness Insurance policy, you will need to be between 19 and 60 years of age.
- Cover under the policy will then expire on the policy anniversary following your 75th birthday.

Doing Business As An IT ConsumerToday, Smart Companies Are Acquiring The Technology They need As A Managed ServiceSubmitted by: Jazmin Rey, UDT
It wasn't so long ago that pretty much all business IT was delivered by hardware you could see and touch: desktop computers and laptops loaded with productivity software, server racks, peripherals, all strung together with CAT-5 cabling, the entire infrastructure residing onsite.
That model is still at the heart of IT … but layered atop it today are entirely new capabilities that enable computing to be delivered as a service consumed, much like water or power as a utility. Now, rather than incur the capital expense of a data center upgrade, businesses can focus their attention on their core mission and treat IT as an operating expense, simply acquiring many of the capabilities they need from a specialized, experienced vendor and measured by a Service Level Agreement (SLA).
For example, many applications are now hosted "out there" in the cloud and are accessible wherever people need to be productive; employees simply log in from home, the road, remote offices, and so forth. Cloud capabilities hosted by a qualified vendor, whether private or public, are easily scaled up or down without you having to deploy new hardware in your own data center.
A trusted service provider can even oversee the remote monitoring and proactive management of end-user devices that access your network, providing an important assist for your existing IT staff. They can also provide robust, secure wireless networks backed by strong SLAs.
Besides the cost-saving advantages for obtaining managed IT as a service, qualified providers also offer the latest security technology to help protect your sensitive data from attacks and keep you in compliance with HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley and other regulatory requirements. And, they can advise you on internal policies that help prevent security vulnerabilities from within – for example, controlling "shadow IT" (the use of third-party applications such as instant messaging, social media, etc.) and setting sensible "Bring Your Own Device" policies.For more information, please contact Hugo Perez, United Data Technologies at (305) 490-8828. In our 20 years as a leading IT solutions provider, UDT, has helped nurture the grown of managed IT as a service, and that trend is only going to get bigger. UDT is Driven by Service, Powered by IT.

Neighbors plant crop for Lockney farmer
Neighbors helping neighbors — it's what makes this part of the country unique. Going the extra mile for another in need is one of the best qualities West Texans are known for. And evidence of that selfless character was seen this week in Lockney, as several Floyd County cotton producers lent a hand to help an ailing farmer and his family.
"It was just such a blessing," said Becky Fortenberry, whose husband Sam, 59, was recently hospitalized with complications of a progressive form of Alzheimer's disease.
For the past several years, the Fortenberrys have made their living through a cotton farm located northeast of Lockney. However, with Sam's failing health, the family's ability to provide for their children was put in jeopardy, as farmers have recently hopped back on their tractors to plant the new harvest.
With Sam incapacitated, Becky took the responsibility upon her shoulders, jumping on the tractor herself to seed the ground.
"She started doing it herself, and she had already been running several days," said Keith Philips, Becky's brother-in-law, who also produces in Floyd County.
Philips explained that Becky had some experience but was learning a lot as she attempted to step in and plant the next crop all alone.
"Sometimes we have to do what we have to do," Becky said. "And it was time to start planting."
Once he found out Becky had decided to take on the job alone, Philips said he approached several producers in the county to see if they were willing to lend a hand to the mother of four.
"I wasn't surprised at how many people wanted to help," Philips said. "This community is always good at coming together to help someone out. Many of the guys had already helped out other farmers in similar situations."
On Wednesday, with the help of nine planters and more than 50 volunteers, Becky's neighbors tag-teamed the project and were able to plant 1,000 acres of dryland cotton in a little over four hours.
"We got there and told her to get off the tractor, we were going to take care of it," Philips said.
"It just made me cry," said volunteer Lesca Durham, who described seeing the farmers plant the Fortenberry's land.
Durham graduated with Sam who, prior to becoming a cotton farmer, ran the Lockney Meat Company since 1978.
"It was just a true blessing," Becky said. "God's love really showed that day."
Under ideal situations, Philips said the Fortenberrys could really only plant up to 100-150 acres a day with their equipment. But with one fell swoop, the job was knocked off in one day, as volunteers ran planters, augers and seed wagons. Afterwards, more volunteers and organizations donated food and drinks for the hard day's work.
"These people donated their time and the money, because it takes a lot of fuel to run those tractors. It couldn't have been more awesome," Becky said.
"It was a really good deal," said Philips as they completed the job. "We got it in there, and, hopefully, something will grow."
Following the job, Floyd County was hit with close to 4 inches of rain over the weekend in some parts as storms slowly moved across West Texas.
"And then the Lord sends us all this rain; this has truly been a blessing," Becky said.

As the TED 2014 "Ads Worth Spreading" campaign gets under way, Google's YouTube unit is helping showcase the most creative and innovative video advertisements before the award winners are determined and announced in March 2014.
The awards, which are in their fourth year, are presented by the group that puts on TED Conferences (Technology, Education, Design), which are devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading, according to the organization, to celebrate creativity and emotional power in advertising.
The 2014 TED video ad competition, with the help of YouTube, will make all the contending ad videos available to online viewers so they can see the best of the best before the votes are counted, Tara Levy, managing director of ads marketing for Google and YouTube, wrote in a Nov. 20 post on The Official YouTube Blog.
"What makes a good ad?" she wrote. "In some cases, it's a striking image. In others, a funny premise. There's no formula, but most memorable ads all have something in common: They tell a story worth sharing."
Further reading
That's where YouTube comes in to help, to share the contending ad videos with online viewers, wrote Levy. "Sharing is at the heart of the YouTube experience. From Metro Trains' "Dumb Ways to Die" and TNT's "Dramatic Surprise" to Chipotle combining powers with Willie Nelson, many of the most popular videos on YouTube are from brands that understand the power of great storytelling and creating content people choose to watch and share."
The TED Ads Worth Spreading initiative will again celebrate the year's most creative and notable ads and make them available to YouTube visitors. The awards are "given to the brands and agencies creating innovative ads that people can't stop sharing," wrote Levy.
The 2013 ad nominees for the March 2014 competition include 30 of the most creative minds in the advertising world, as well as a host of people who often speak at TED conferences, wrote Levy.
This year, Google is adding a "viewer's choice" component to the nominated videos, according to Levy. "We'll rank the most popular videos based on actual YouTube views using the methodology behind our YouTube Ads Leaderboard, which publishes the most watched and shared ads on YouTube each month."
The TED 2013 Ads Worth Spreading winners included some amazing ads, including Expedia's "Find Your Understanding" ad, Dell's "Annie" ad, and Coca-Cola's "Security Cameras" ad. Each has the power to elicit smiles and tears from the viewer, at the same time. The full playlist of last year's winning ads can be viewed online, according to Levy. "Combined, these ads have been viewed more than 140 million times on YouTube," she wrote.
YouTube often gets involved in cultural events to bring together fans of music, fashion, culture and more.
Earlier in November, YouTube's first-ever Music Award winners were named based on votes from fans. The winners included Eminem as Artist of the Year and Taylor Swift as YouTube Phenomenon. The awards presentation, which was streamed live Nov. 3, presented music fans with a wide assortment of performances from some of the biggest music stars who became global hits on YouTube in the past year, including Arcade Fire, Avicii, CDZA, Earl Sweatshirt, Eminem, Lady Gaga, Lindsey Stirling, M.I.A., Tyler, The Creator and Walk Off the Earth.
In September, YouTube streamed live online coverage of the 2013 Mercedes Benz Fashion Week events in New York City, bringing the latest fashions and trends to the world. Included in the YouTube coverage were more than 60 live shows from BCBG, Rachel Zoe, Betsey Johnson, Jenny Packham and more on the IMG Fashion YouTube channel, as well as stylish channel live stream shows on getting made up to the hilt with expert help from fashion and make-up experts such as Louise Goldin and Jeremy Scott.
Earlier in August, YouTube celebrated geeks with its first-ever "Geek Week" event that highlighted content, including "Game of Thrones," "The Big Bang Theory," Harry Potter and "The Avengers." The Geek Week celebration highlighted the global community on YouTube that loves superheroes, comics, gaming, science and science fiction.
In May 2013, YouTube turned 8 years old, having launched in May 2005 as a video-sharing Website where people could post their creative works and watch to see if they gained any footholds. YouTube's popularity has been huge, with the site receiving more than 100 hours of uploaded video from creators each minute. All of that video content is being created by millions of partners and contributors, some of whom have become very popular through the growing site.
In March 2013, YouTube announced that it is providing video content for more than 1 billion viewers per month. The popular video-sharing site has helped launch the careers of a slew of entertainers and made celebrities out of ordinary citizens, thanks to viral videos.

It was time to explore Aspen Mountain, which we did on a couple different days, so, you'll see me in 2 separate outfits and some pictures with bluer skies.
We walked into town and took the 15 - 20 minute gondola ride up to the top of it. I'm afraid of heights, so, I'll admit while facing towards the bottom of the mountain as we went up was the wrong direction to choose...but family got a good laugh out of it all! ;)

If you're having an outdoor wedding this season, these shabby chic Mr and Mrs chair signs would be a beautiful addition. They are easy to make and you could swap out the lace, burlap and fabric for ribbons or glitter streamers depending on your theme.
Here's how to make them…
- Wooden letters
- Burlap, lace, fabric offcuts in your theme colours
- Baker's twine
- Scissors
- Gold spray paint
- Wire
Step 1: Tie a small piece of wire around each letter.
Step 2: Spray paint your letters. Remember a couple of light coats is better than one heavy coat.
Step 3: Measure your chairs across the top and cut two lengths of string to tie on each chair.
Step 4: Cut little slits in each piece of your fabric and then rip along the line to create your ribbons. Make a mixture of burlap, lace and fabric. Don't worry too much about the threads as that's what makes them shabby chic!
Step 5: Now tie them onto your string, attach your Mr and Mrs letters and attach your signs to your chair.
These would look beautiful for an outdoor summer wedding or an indoor barn wedding too.

Finally, the Vladislaus V battalion has a supporting cavalry squadron as well, of two troops, both 11 men strong.
Most figures are Italeri again, with a bunch of Imex dudes in the second troop below (rear rank). I painted them using only blocking colors in + quickshade.
These days I paint the riders and horses together as with multiple layers of paint fitting them after being painted separately could damage the coat on the horse or the rider.

In 1920, the American Professional Football Association was formally organized. The league had eight teams with names that included the Canton Bulldogs, Dayton Triangles and the Chicago Cardinals. At that time the concept of protective headgear consisted mainly of stuffing a thick rag under your hat. In 1922, the APFA became the National Football League and headgear at that time had evolved to include some padding, but mostly on the outside. Since then, NFL helmets have seen several milestone transformations.
The first helmets that saw widespread use in the NFL were made from leather. Basically, players wore the helmets to keep from having their hair pulled or losing an ear during a side-on collision. Lowering the head and using it as a bettering ram was reserved for the adventurous few.
Leather helmets absorbed water in wet climates and the cloth inner lining absorbed perspiration. Players in the early days of the NFL often found their leather helmet had hardened to a crispy texture overnight. In 1939, the founder of the Riddell Sports Company, John Riddell, developed the first plastic shell helmet that changed NFL headgear.
Plastic Shell
The first plastic shell helmets not only had a hard outer shell, but padding around the crown of the head. The game was getting faster, owners were drafting bigger players and collisions were more intense. By the late 1940s, leather helmets were collecting dust in NFL locker rooms.
Plastic helmets allowed players to lower their head without fear of being carried off the field. Riddell's innovation had changed the way NFL football was played. Team owners liked plastic helmets because the hard shell was a billboard for the team's logo. But changes in the way the game was played resulted in different types of injuries, which presented new obstacles to overcome in NFL helmet design.
Web Suspension
Riddell's equipment designers had developed the web suspension helmet during World War II. The helmets had internal bands and straps that kept the outer plastic shell away from the player's head. The problem with the helmet was a lack of stability. Certain types of collisions dislodged the helmet and neck injuries were on the rise. After a brief stint in the league from the late 1950s to the mid 1960s, the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment determined suspension helmets were unsafe.
Modern Era
Other manufacturers of sports equipment, such as Wilson and Spaulding, got into the NFL helmet fray. Their headgear passed NOCSEA standards and numerous players received endorsements to promote their headgear. In 1997, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young suffered his third brain concussion in 10 months. Young switched to Riddell's newest helmet that included pads at the temples and jawbone. Soon after, eight out of 10 NFL players were wearing Riddell headgear.
Today the Riddell Revolution, the Riddell Speed and the Schutt DNA-Pro are rated as the top helmets with regard to preventing concussions and neck injuries. But concussions still remain a major concern in the NFL. Rule changes and equipment designers may one day combine to eliminate the risk of head injury.

Corsair Flash Readout: USB memory with display
Corsair Flash Readout: USB memory with display news post from TweakTown's online news computing and technology content pages

Discovered over at NordicHardware a short time ago, Corsair have taken the next step in portable USB flash storage with their new Flash Readout USB drives. These have a small BCD (Bi-stable Cholesteric Display) which provides information such as amount of space used/free and the type of data stored on it. Although not a necessity, you have to admit it's kinda cool.
More on it at Nordic.
Corsair Flash Readout is yet another product from memory manufacturer Corsair that introduces new functions on an already established market. We've seen it several times on the memory module market where Corsair's Pro and Xpert series displays fresh thinking. Now the time has come for the USB memory market as Flash Readout is a USB memory. Flash Readout has, except from a capacity at up to 2GB, a small BCD display (Bi-stable Cholesteric Display). The display has been divided into three sections that all can supply you with different information about the USB memory and its data. First of all you can enter an 11 letter long name for the memory, which perhaps best reflects the data stored.

Ohio LGBT Group Announces Plans to Target Churches for Homosexual Weddings
An LGBT organization in Ohio has announced plans to target churches if they refuse to offer their property to be used in a homosexual wedding. In opposing the Ohio Pastor Protection Act (HB-36), the group Equality Ohio announced that they would target churches, forcing them to rent church facilities to groups that oppose their beliefs. This despite the fact that all the Roman Catholic bishops in Ohio support the bill, and Catholics make up approximately 20 percent of the state's population.
When asked "if a church community has a church hall that they rent to couples who want to have that wedding reception in that hall ... should that church hall and church community be forced to rent that to someone who wants to use that building for something that's against that church community's belief system," an Equality Ohio spokeswoman said, "Sure, I would say that if that space is open and generally available to the public for a fee, yes that should be available to everyone."
This statement may seem innocent enough, but to Representative Nino Vitale (R-Urbana), the author of HB-36, it is a declaration of war. "If you have property rights and religious freedom, shouldn't you have religious freedom, at least on your own property?" Vitale asked in an interview with PJ Media.
Specifically, Vitale suggested that the ACLU of Ohio, which he described as "a large cash cow organization that exists to sue people," and which opposed the Ohio Pastor Protection Act last year, would target churches if HB-36 does not pass. "That's what they aim to do," he explained.
The representative also noted that "some of the largest insurance companies that handle churches in the United States now have religious freedom riders, and you can select those and add them to your church policy." Potential lawsuits are "so big of an issue that even insurance companies recognize it."
Vitale predicted that groups like the Ohio ACLU and Equality Ohio (not to mention the Human Rights Campaign, the Secular Coalition, and the pro-abortion group NARAL, which have each opposed HB-36) would target the Catholic Church in particular.
"The Catholic Church is one of the main targets," the representative told PJ Media. "When you're filing a lawsuit against someone, you're saying we disagree with what you're doing and we want to stop you from doing it and penalize you for what you did," he explained. "I can't think of anybody with bigger pockets in the church communities than the Catholic Church."
Despite this likely attack, Vitale noted that it is "very rare" for the Catholic bishops in a state to unite in support of a particular piece of legislation. Nevertheless, the Catholic Conference of Ohio (the Ohio bishops in unison) testified in support of HB-36 this week.

A critic may object, saying that peoples, races, tribes and communities of the world are of different and varied customs, habits, tastes, character, inclinations and ideas, that opinions and thoughts are contrary to one another, and how, therefore, is it possible for real unity to be revealed and perfect accord among human souls to exist?
In answer we say that differences are of two kinds. One is the cause of annihilation and is like the antipathy existing among warring nations and conflicting tribes who seek each other's destruction, uprooting one another's families, depriving one another of rest and comfort and unleashing carnage. The other kind which is a token of diversity is the essence of perfection and the cause of the appearance of the bestowals of the Most Glorious Lord.
Consider the flowers of a garden: though differing in kind, colour, form and shape, yet, inasmuch as they are refreshed by the waters of one spring, revived by the breath of one wind, invigorated by the rays of one sun, this diversity increaseth their charm, and addeth unto their beauty.
~ Abdu'l-Baha

Decades after Wolfgang Puck and Alice Waters and a slew of other chefs opened restaurants built on fresh produce and a confluence of global flavors, thereby pioneering California cuisine, the Golden State is experiencing a culinary comeback in New York City. Jeremiah Tower, a longtime West Coast chef and mentee of Waters, came here to take on the troubled Tavern on the Green; Jonathan Waxman, another former Waters lieutenant, is reprising Jams; and last year, Stephen Starr teamed up with chef Justin Smillie to open Upland (345 Park Avenue South, 212-686-1006), a modern meditation on what the chef ate growing up in Southern California.
On the whole, the cuisine, says Smillie, "is evolving into adulthood now. More and more people are looking at light cuisine, healthful cuisine, good flavors, and real food." What started as ingredient-driven fare with an Italian, French, Asian, or Southwestern bent lent style and identity to the larger American canon. "People wanted to go out and have a really nice bottle of wine without having to wear a coat and tie," says Smillie. "That's what this California movement did — it removed the pomp and circumstance and religiosity from dining. Dining doesn't have to be so ritualistic."
At his own restaurant, Smillie says, dishes "start in the market with the people who grow food for us and bring it to us. Upland is a continuation of a hospitable, warm, and gracious style of service, with fresh simple food. I'm cooking food that I like to eat."
And food that he's learned to make over his long career. Smillie lived in Upland, California, until he was fifteen, and became attached to his mother's garden early. "I fell in love with the smell of tomato leaves," he says. "I grew up with vegetal, simple food around me." When his family moved to New Jersey, he took a job as a busboy at a restaurant, and asked to be transferred to the kitchen when he realized the back of house was having more fun. He loved the energy of the kitchen, and he loved being on his feet and working with his hands.
He progressed through better and better restaurants in high school, and then enrolled in the Culinary Institute of America, only to drop out — "I realized that financially, coming out of it, you make $10 an hour," he says, and he wasn't ready to face that kind of debt. He moved around a bit, working with Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Tom Colicchio, and Marco Moreira before falling in with Waxman.
Waxman's cooking and philosophy spoke to him, and Smillie stayed in his kitchens, first at Barbuto and then at Washington Park, and then again at Barbuto, for seven years. "At the time, Barbuto was about what you can remove from a dish as opposed to what can you add," he says. "At that time, a little over ten years ago, that was kind of radical."
After he said goodbye, he landed with André Balazs, with whom he opened the Standard and then ran the kitchen at the Sunset Beach hotel out on Long Island for two summers. Here, says Smillie, he learned to attune to what the guest really wanted, and he met purveyors who brought him excellent seafood. When he exited that group, he had plans to help the Red Cat's Jimmy Bradley with a new spot, but then Bradley got sick, and so the opening was shelved. He met Il Buco owner Donna Lennard as he was trying to figure out his next move, and soon, he was running the show at Il Buco Alimentari e Vineria.
"That was a roller coaster," he says. "I went from relative anonymity to getting invited to events and having the press talking about everything I was doing. It was another layer, and an unbelievable experience. Pete Wells called us a village, and it really was — there were a lot of people working really hard to curate this special handmade restaurant." Whereas many of his menus had him starting with fresh produce, Alimentari forced him to start with his pantry — Lennard had long relationships with artisanal olive oil producers in Italy, and so he'd create dishes that could showcase that product and preserve its legacy.
He pulled all of those experiences together when he started talking to Starr and the pair plotted Upland. Smillie was attracted to Starr's group because the organization and structure gave him support for his creative endeavors, and the group allowed him to function as an entrepreneur. That helped him continue moving upward along his career trajectory. "I always took jobs that I knew were going to take me to that next thing," he says. "Some was based on what I was going to learn about the business, or what I was going to learn operationally, or food choices."
And that's his advice for young cooks getting into the business — move upwards, and cook what you like. "Ask yourself, what five jobs are going to get you to your dream?" he says. "What will make you a well-rounded operator? A well-rounded chef? Help you become a better team leader? Other than that, cook what you're passionate about, what you like to eat and eventually serve."
What's next for Smillie? "To keep developing this — it's the food that resonates with me the most," he says. "I'd like this style to become synonymous with who I am. Maybe more restaurants down the line, but who knows. I really love being in the mix every day, and being with the staff. I never really plan too far ahead — I think that's the holdover from Waxman."

After long silence, it has all built up to this moment:
And what is better than that?
Nothing- duh!
We need more room in our home in order to welcome guests more comfy-cozily (pretty sure that's not a word, but it is so much cuter than just "comfortably"). This in mind, we ("we" in this case mainly consisting of Paul the Roumanian Magician) have attacked a new moumental project:
making a nice guest room with full bath in the upper story of our cavernous garage.
What used to be a closet next the the half bath on the landing now leads to a small, empty (for now) stairwell. The ladder there takes you to a soon-to-be-finished mini guest suit ( NB: not that it is intended only for smaller than average guests. The "mini" refers to the fact that it is just an average-sized bedroom with a bathroom thrown in. Non-palatial in nature.)
It is only 3/4 finished at this point, but I figured that a few "before and partially finished" photos are in order:
The little cement block you see at the right edge of the picture above is part of the closet that was later cut to provide a space for the new stairs to come up.
In the left photo, the ladder is in the hole where the stairs will be installed. And I hope that happens soon, as the ladder is a pain.
This is the exterior wall where the window went in. It is by far the biggest window in the whole house. These old Savoyard homes were built to keep the heat in and that meant tiny baby windows.
Now we have a nice view of our backyard!

For me this VICHY Protective Sun-Cream with SPF 25 is ideal. You also need to take special care of your eye area, which is more gentle. For that I used the VICHY stick for sensible zones with SPF 50.
It has a very convenient stick form and can be applied really easily.
With all that protection you can enjoy a carefree sledging. YUHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!

Love is an attitude in the form of the exchanges between a mother and child.
The sixth basic emotion is love.
Love is maternal instinct added to interest, in other words it is interest modified by the principle of blood selection, and also extends to others of the same species. Love is an emotion which branches out from interest depending on the situation.
Love is not only that found between lovers, but also includes family love, parental love, fraternal love, love for humanity, and friendship. In addition, respect and worship are also variations of love.
Actions of love in humans is to do something for another person, or accepting and staying with someone. Love is an unconscious sense of duty to do something for another.
In the mother and child relationship, a mother gives love and her child receives this love. When these two sides are felt at the same time, it is love. Since human beings have a tendency to be neotenous, which means they retain child-like elements even after they become adults, so a child-like sensibility will remain in adults. For example, the desire to be spoiled or taken care of, a sensibility by which children depend on their mother, is not lost and coexists with love given to others as an adult. In love between adults both parties behave as both mother and child, mutually giving and taking.
Parental love is indispensable to babies, and friendship among adults is also advantageous to survival. Love is connected to maintaining a group. Actions of love exist in most animals which look after their offspring. We can assume that they have love, but the love's size and complexity is different.
Love is helpful in maintaining a group.
Love is maternal instinct, so it's primarily for females. Therefore, on average it is seen more strongly in females. The relationship of a parent and a child is eternal, so love can also be eternal.
In the history of evolution, there is the condition that love spreads to others not only to children. Love develops in animals whose sustenance depends on its fortune/luck regardless of the individual's ability. These kinds of animals profit largely from helping others.
For instance, researchers have confirmed that vampire bats may share blood they drank with each other. At that time the vampire bat first gives blood to another bat which gave it blood before regardless of their genetic relation. This can be said to be an act of love.
Attachment behaviors can be seen in apes. Grooming and mouth-to-mouth feeding in apes corresponds to caresses and kisses in humans. Hugs and such actions are completely the same in both apes and humans.
The triggers that cause love to occur are the object of love being cute like a baby, or sharing everyday life and an interest, for example, those going through life together, lovers, a husband and wife, or a parent and child. It is easy for love to appear between those who work together. In the case of the same sex, they usually become friends and it is called friendship.
We easily feel love when the other person's interests, character, values, mannerism, or appearance is similar to our own. It is because the person who is similar to you is your child. We feel we want to do something for the person who is similar to us. So a husband and a wife, a parent and a child, and siblings cannot have love unless they share an interest or their lives.
Love has a process.
In the first step interest ,which can also be called fondness, makes us search for someone compatible. In this period, we endeavour to learn about the other person and try to like the same things for example.
In the second step we act to test a relationship. We deliberately act in a way that the person may dislike to confirm how much we are accepted. For example, we tease each other when we become close to a person.
Love between lovers includes attachment behaviors. Lovers cuddle each other like a child. The behavior is like that between a mother and child, in which the couple alternate between the roles of mother and child.
A typical example of this is one of the lovers telling the other to open his or her mouth and feeding him or her. Researchers think that a kiss is a transformation of the primitive age behaviour of a mother giving a baby food after chewing it and making it soft. Skin contact such as caresses is originally designed to set a baby at ease. Holding hands is a behavior between a mother and a child. A lover is exactly like "my baby". Through these behaviors we unconsciously recall memories of our mother's love during our childhood. As a result an emotional memory of love is formed when this recalled emotion is directed towards our lover who is currently with us.
An adopted child may behave like an infant to its new parents. They cry, throw a tantrum, want to use a diaper even though they are already potty trained, or want to breastfeed or use a bottle which they no longer need.
Those who don't have a blood relation and don't experience mother-child behavior naturally need to trace a mother and child's relations to attain a deep relation like between parents and children. In this way we make emotional memories of love.

Do you know of any authors, modern day priest scientists or writers who have pondered or written of a historical fiction approach to the Creation of Man/Fall story? Something that still follows Church teaching on the matter, but is more historical than Genesis? Something that might account for fossil records of early man, evolutionary progression up to Homo Sapien and some ensoulment event?
If not, do you have any thoughts on this?
Forgive me if your creation beliefs are outside of a continually God directed creation that allows for evolution. I've just pondered this and thought of you as the first likely candidate to ask.
Peace sir and keep up the good blog work. I don't always agree with you, but I have had to reconsider many a political topic based on your tenderly dark lordly writings.
