Resist the urge to pack 20 outfits - all that baggage will weigh down more than just your suitcase!
by Laura Seldon, for GalTime.com
Packing for any vacation can be exhausting, but it gets even harder when you're deciding what to take on your first trip with your new flame. But just like in relationships, when it comes to packing for a trip, it's best to leave all extra baggage behind! To help you "pack for success," here are the top 10 things to take with you whether you are hitting the wide-open road together, or jetting away to somewhere exotic!
1. Comfy Walking Shoes
Start your trip off on the right foot with a good pair of walking shoes. While you may want to look good in front of your new love interest, it's important to bring a reliable pair of sneakers "so you can walk and explore together," says author Carrie Knowles.
2. Picnic Provisions
What's better than a romantic meal for two? A romantic picnic for two! "Bring a small backpack with a corkscrew and knife for an impromptu picnic," suggests Knowles. This way you and your new suitor can enjoy some alone time in the great outdoors!
RELATED The Key to a Lasting Relationship
3. Reading Materials
Consider sharing more than just a hotel room on your romantic getaway – how about sharing a book as well? "That way you can read to each other," explains Knowles. "There's nothing more romantic." Not only will reading together give you something to talk about, but reading something sexy (think Fifty Shades of Grey) could really heat up your excursion!
4. First-Aid Kit
Allergies, indigestion, and bloating will all cramp your style on a romantic getaway. "Bring a first-aid kit," says Bonnie Joy Dewkett, a professional organizer and packing pro. "Because nothing is worse than having your time spoiled by a headache, sunburn or upset stomach."
5. GPS & Maps
Navigate your way to romance with the help of your trusty GPS! "Couples notoriously fight over directions," says Dewkett. "The key to a road trip is to have a GPS, maps and a plan!"
6. Denim with Diversity
Be sure to pack a pair of jeans that can be dressed up or down. "Who knows what activities your romantic getaway will entail," says Jennifer Kelton, a dating advisor and the founder of DressForTheDate.com. "Pack a pair of jeans that can be dressed down for activities like horseback riding, but can also be dressed up for hitting a trendy pub."
RELATED 6 Ways To Speed Up Your Morning Routine
7. Unisex Toiletries
If you're already sharing a book (as advised in #3), then why not share a few bathroom products as well, including shampoo, conditioner and lotion? "Sharing is caring," says PR pro Stephanie Scott. "And it also cuts down on the amount of products that you need to pack. Try travel-sized goodies that couples can share."
8. A Good Playlist
When there's a moment of awkward silence, it's best to fill it with the sound of music! Just make sure your playlist (for the car or bedroom) include songs you both like, advises Dr. Jane Greer, a marriage and family therapist. "It will destroy the whole trip if your car ride isn't enjoyable."
9. A Solid Set of Snacks
Don't rely on a run-down convenience store for your snack supply! Instead, ask your new flame for a list of their favorite snacks (granola bars, chips, apples, etc.) and pack some provisions. "Bring some of your favorite snacks to ease tension on the road," suggests Aimee Cebulski, author of The Finding 40 Project. "It will also ward off the crankies and make each of you happy."
10. An Open Mind
One of the most important items you can bring with you on any vacation is an open mind. "It sounds cheesy," says Cebulski. "But this might be the first time you see your sweetheart clean his ears… or he sees that you are an extreme over-packer. Go easy on each other. It's supposed to be fun!"
The best part about taking an open mind on your trip? It takes up hardly any space in your suitcase!

What Are You Snacking On?
Daily EO Talk and Healthy Living:
Today's Topic:
What is Your Favorite Between Meal Snack?
Snacking gives us the chance to fuel our body between meals. And, healthy snacks can help rev metabolism and keep hunger at bay. As a plus, if the right snacks are eaten, we have the added benefit of extra vitamins and minerals. Here are some of my favorite snacks.
What are yours?
Nuts: Such as cashews, walnuts, and almonds are a crunchy way to add more protein and healthy unsaturated fat to your diet. If eaten in moderation, they add a host of healthy nutrients as well. Most nuts contain about 6 grams of protein per 2-ounce serving., along with a host of important vitamins and minerals. Personally, I love walnuts. With only 4 grams of carbs per ounce, walnuts give me quick on-the-go energy and help starve off hunger. Best of all, they give me a hefty dose of mega-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
As a tip, when purchasing nuts, opt for salt-free to keep your sodium intake in check. As an option to salted nuts, purchase the unsalted nuts and bake them in a low temperature oven on a sheet pan. Sprinkle with spices such as cinnamon or chipotle pepper or whatever spice you prefer. Once cooled, store these little goodies in small ziplock bags in the freezer for ready-to-eat-on-the go treats. If you prefer a bit of salt, sprinkle the nuts lightly prior to baking. Pre-packaged, salted nuts are often over loaded with salt and sometimes preservatives.
Frozen Grapes: My granddaughters taught me about the goodness of frozen grapes. They are, indeed, a delicious and satisfying little tasty sweet treat. These subzero little poppers provide a surprising burst of flavor in your mouth that can help quell afternoon sugar cravings. Frozen grapes stay soft and creamy on the inside, so they make the perfect snack. Additionally, I keep frozen green grapes in the freezer to flop into green smoothies. To freeze grapes, wash them and spread whole grapes in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze. Pop them off the tray and store in ziplock bags in the freezer.
Bananas: These golden babies are a naturally prepackaged sweet you can take anywhere. And, bananas have the added benefit of cramp-preventing potassium. I personally enjoy eating a banana most days and love the nutritional boost. Bananas, like most fruits, are not only a nutritious snack to eat between meals, but they are as delicious as grapes are in smoothies.
If you are a Young Living members, you probably already enjoy Slique® Bars as a safe, delicious weight-management snack that utilizes a dual-target approach to help manage satiety. Now this innovative bar is coated in delicious dark chocolate! Yum.
To support any weight-management plan, Slique Bars are loaded with exotic baru nuts and wholesome almonds, which promote satiety when combined with protein and fiber. Young Living also uses a potato skin extract that, when ingested, triggers the release of cholecystokinin in the body, increasing the duration of feelings of fullness. *
If you are looking for a way to snack your way to weight loss, try Slique Bars. These yummy bars deliver essential nutrients from a unique superfruit blend of goldenberries and wolfberries, plus pure Cinnamon, Vanilla, and Orange essential oils. This dual-target satiety approach and medley of exotic fruits, nuts, and potato skin extract create a nutritious, stimulant-free snack to help you feel fuller, longer.
These bars are,
• High in fiber
• Gluten-free
• No trans fat
• No preservatives
Who Should Use the Chocolate-coated Slique Bar?
• Individuals interested in an innovative tool to assist as part of a weight-management program
• Individuals interested in adding fiber to their diet
• Families interested in a convenient snack bar option
Consume before or between meals with 12 oz. of water to help manage hunger. As with any weight-loss product, this formula is designed and intended for use with a sensible program of diet and exercise. Individuals who may be sensitive to high-fiber diets should exercise care when consuming more than 2 bars daily. I limit my intake to 1 bar. Please consult a health professional prior to beginning any diet or exercise regimen.

text: Concerned citizens and organizations attended a meeting of the Buckingham Township (PA) Board of Supervisors last week to learn more about Linden Energy Services proposal to build a pipeline under (or over) the Delaware River West Branch in Hancock, NY. If approved, the pipeline would connect the Tennessee and Millennium gas lines and require a compressor station somewhere along its route. Despite vigorous concerns about the potential impact of the pipeline voiced by numerous meeting participants, the Supervisors unanimously approved preliminary investigative work that could ultimately pave the way for pipeline construction.

Unitedfuture leader, Hon Peter Dunne, is today restating his call for a smarter and more compassionate refugee programme in New Zealand.
"The current programme, where we set a quota of 750 refugees per year, has not been changed for about thirty years and in light of a global refugee crisis that baseline is proving too inflexible.
"While UnitedFuture strongly supports doubling the quota, we think we can be smarter about how we look at refugee resettlement as well and limit the costs of any such increase by engaging the community spirit of New Zealanders," said Mr Dunne.
"Up and down the country, and in my own Ōhāriu electorate, I see the compassion of New Zealanders welcoming refugee families and putting their hands up to help those who need support.
"Our refugee programme should engage directly with that generous and inclusive spirit and allow communities to sponsor refugees in addition to our current quota.
Allowing private and community sponsorship of refugees is already a programme that exists in several countries and was endorsed in a 2015 Human Rights Commission and Red Cross report: New Zealand's part in addressing the current global humanitarian crises: considering alternative methods of entry.
"This is not a new idea; it already occurs in Australia and other countries and would still be subject to the United Nations High Commission on Refugees vetting and our own Immigration security.
"Importantly, expanding the ability for communities to sponsor refugees would allow us to increase the numbers we take thereby sharing the global responsibility around refugee resettlement.
UnitedFuture is also supporting other alternative pathways to refugee resettlement that were cited in the Human Rights Commission and Red Cross report, namely an expansion of the family reunification category.
"Expanding the family reunification category to allow families to sponsor family members not only is good humanitarian policy, it also limits the financial burden on central Government," said Mr Dunne
"Treating refugees as people recognises that they have family members who are also in need and allows those families to help each other.
"Our refugee quota should be increased but we should also utilise the community spirit of New Zealander's who are eager to provide support to refugees by allowing communities a bigger role in our refugee system, that way our refugee policy can become more flexible, efficient and compassionate," Mr Dunne concluded.

Dostah Shilailee is an experimental electronic artist from the Hudson Valley region of New York, USA. This is the identity created by Joseph VanBuren to showcase the more disturbing instrumental side of sykophunk. Dostah's music ranges through many styles of Electronic Dance Music (EDM), including techno/rave, big beat, trip hop, goth/industrial, trance, jungle/drum and bass, breakbeat, electro, ambient, etc. Dubbed Sykophunk Productions' "resident law breaker," Dostah is known for taking periodical breaks in between random album releases full of uncleared samples and controversial subject matter.
Joseph VanBuren had been writing music as Dostah Shilailee for years before officially releasing anything under the name. Finally, in 2008, Sykophunk Productions released two Dostah Shilailee albums: After Midnight and Through the Veins. The albums received minimal marketing and gained Dostah little attention. However, there was somebody who noticed Dostah's sudden online presence. In February, 2009, the associate producer of The Colbert Report approached Dostah to use his remix, "Make You Grind", on the show. The track, a remix of Stephen Colbert's sarcastic desire to not have his fans remix his material, was made available on indabamusic.com. During the February 2nd interview Colbert did with Dan Zaccagnino (founder of Indaba), a clip of Dostah's remix was aired on the show. In less than three months of having released any material, Dostah managed to get his music on cable television while still a virtually unknown artist.
Over the next few months, a number of Dostah songs were posted on Sykophunk Weekly. He also did a few remixes for contests hosted by Indaba, including one of The Crystal Method's song "Come Back Clean. By the fall of 2009, however, Dostah had once again vanished under the radar.
In April 2011, Dostah Shilailee suddenly emerged again, through an interview on the Do It Ourselves blog, in which he announced his new album. Entitled Copyright Laws are for Pussies, the album was released as a free download under a Creative Commons license. In the interview, Dostah also stated his urge to focus more on making music for film and media placement, as well as a general disliking of the current state of the music business.
In 2012, Dostah contributed a number of tracks to the Sykophunk Productions licensing catalog. In April 2012, he was credited as the "shadow," providing "beats, fx & prophecies" for the album Nocternal - Democalypse Trilogy part III. Through Ryan McClellan of New Breed Media, Dostah's track "Cosmic Energy" was presented to Mickey Munday, for potential use in a trailer for the upcoming iPhone game based on Munday's true story.
2013 ReturnEdit
After another year-long hiatus, Dostah surfaced again in late spring 2013, via his new Facebook page. In his first status post, he made reference to the possibility of releasing two albums "in the near future." The post was accompanied by a link to his Reverb Nation page, which had also been updated with new songs.
In June, the implications proved true when Sykophunk Productions released two Dostah albums: Long Lost Experiments, a "new collection of old tracks" of more traditional EDM, and Bad Trip in Stereo, a very bizarre, noisy and experimental release.
In December, Dostah announced on Facebook that he was planning on "infiltrating" an upcoming joe DOE show, hinting at the possibility of the first ever live performance by Dostah Shilailee.

Fabulous Friends!
It's been over a month since my last post but I haven't forgotten about you! I'll go on the record and say that I've been a little distracted...very distracted. I got a new job as a visual merchandiser which I love but could be the most challenging thing I've ever done in my life. This coupled with a lot of other surprises and disappointments have left me exhausted and...well...speechless. But like a true fabulous person, I've gotten a balance on things and I'm ready to take Find Me Fabulous to the next level!
Chasing Pavments....

Six String Soldier
Joey Stuckey
Senate Records, 2016
White boys playin' the blues can be a well trod, cliché filled, music genre. Blind blues musicians, while a less crowded a field, is also a thing. So it's good that Joey Stuckey happens to be good enough to stand apart on the opening number here. With a rich, full voice and fiery and fluid attack on the strings, Stuckey is a welcome sound.
He gets the party started with a rollicking mid-tempo number, "Blind Man Driving." There's Chicago style horns and an extended guitar workout that vacillates between reflection and over the top guitar hero histrionics. "All Roads Lead to a Broken Heart" sounds like a song a contemporary country act could overproduce into a radio hit. As is, it's a wonderful, ballad that sidesteps trite emotions.
"Runnin'" is a slow burn blues number where Stuckey once again alternates space with flurries of notes into interesting guitar solos. "Lover's Ride" is a churning, unsettled song, full of punchy, tacit anger. Trying to keep his emotion in check, his fingers get the best of him, and Stuckey's reveals a torment he doesn't have the right words for.
This is a fun disc that sidesteps a lot of obvious moves and ups the ante for the blues men currently honing their trade.

Not what I was expecting. I thought the story line would've been something else. Graphics are good. Few scenes were creepy.
One of my most favorite movies!
My boyfriend showed this movie to me and I loved every bit of it! I love the little girl and how she has to complete the story and complete all those different adventures. It is so interesting and intriging to watch! And a few parts made me jump.
The film is set in 1944, in fascist Spain. It follows a young girl named Ofelia who tries to escape the horror of her natural world and stepfather, by using her imagination and her love for fairy-tales. After meeting a fairy, she is brought to a faun in the centre of a labyrinth. The film shows the ability of children to overcome harsh realities, such as Ofelia's, through the power of imagination and fantasy. Not only has the film contributed an incredible story-line, but it has provided the viewers a feast for their eyes. The set design, costume design, make-up, color palettes and lighting are exquisitely used to enhance the plot.
Guillermo Del Torro (the director) is beyond brilliant in his execution of this film. It is stunning, raw, whimsical, disturbing, and beautiful. I would recommend this to anyone! I think everyone should see it! Even if you're not into fantasy movies (which I am usually not into), I Loved it!

NOAA's Entanglement Response Program
NOAA Fisheries and its Protected Resources Division (PRD) work to conserve and restore marine resources on the West Coast. Large whale entanglements are an important component of their overall conservation and recovery plans, and specifically addressed by the Entanglement Response Program.
The goals of the large whale entanglement response program are to gather information from entanglement events, increase public safety and awareness of the issue, ensure safety of responders through standardized training and set protocols, and ensure prevention measures are working.
The Entanglement Response Program is authorized under the Endangered Species Act and Marine Mammal Protection Act. During an entanglement event, a report of an entangled whale triggers a rapid response, a need to verify and assess the event, a possible attempt to disentangle, and documentation of the entire event. Many risks are assessed, including human and animal safety, vessel operations, and being able to implement standard protocols.
Responders are highly trained and use specialized equipment during an event. Partners during a response include personnel from NOAA, State agencies, Stranding Network members, academia, NGOs, whale watching companies, fishing community, private vessels and the USCG. Responders approach on a small boat and use techniques to minimize stress to the animal and ensure the safety of the operators. WET, the Whale Entanglement Team, is a group of 30 plus unpaid professionals (volunteers) assembled and trained for the purpose of disentangling whales.
In the future, efforts will continue to improve removal techniques, try to improve configurations of gear to reduce the likelihood of entanglements, increase eyes on the water, and grow the response network to decrease response time.
In March 2017, the West Coast Regional office of NOAA Fisheries updated their report on whale entanglements.
In Washington, Oregon and California, report whales in distress (injured, entangled, stranded or ship-struck) by calling (877) SOS-WHALE or (877) 767-9425. Try to capture an image or video and note location, time, date and nature of distress.
Brief overview of entanglement events prior to 2016
For the period from 2014 to July 2015, large whale entanglement events have been reported from Canada (British Columbia), Washington, Oregon and California. During that interval, BC reported 1, Washington 5, Oregon 7, and California 47 entanglement events. Of these reports, the confirmed entanglements were BC 1, Washington 3, Oregon 7, and California 35. Of the 35 confirmed events in California, 14 were in Monterey County, with the next largest number (n=5) was in LA county. In comparison, for the entire west coast from 1990 to 2009 the number of whale entanglement reports was about 10 per year.
What entangles these whales? In most cases, the actual source of the line or netting is not known. Rarely is a whale observed becoming entangled, and except in rare cases, lines do not have identifying markers on them (e.g., buoys, tags). In many locations where events occur, there are also fisheries that use lines and/or nets (e.g., crab and prawn traps, fish pots, and gillnets). There are also buoys placed in areas by researchers and agencies alike, particularly close to shore, that gather data or serve as navigational aides. Fisheries data from California in 2009 indicate that at least one humpback whale was definitely entangled in lines from spot prawn pots, Dungeness crab pots, and sablefish pots.
The recent spike in entanglement events is perplexing, and the numbers since 2010 are about 50% higher than the preceding 20 years. Are there actually more events, or is their greater awareness and more reporting? In addition to overall awareness and sensitivity by the public to this issue, there is a location bias: where there are more people recreating (e.g., Monterey Bay), there is a greater chance to see an entangled whale. Recent increases in whale populations are not at a rate that can explain the upswing in entanglements, but their behavior in recent years may be a contributing factor. Whales coming close to shore to feed enter a region prone to having more gear in the water. This change in foraging behavior could be part of the reason there are more whale-gear interactions. The other behavioral component is that of the fishing industry itself, which for certain sectors has seen an increase of landings taken from central California (largely Monterey county). This potential combination of more effort nearshore by both whales and humans may be a leading factor in the increase of entanglement events.
From 2000-2015 there have been 193 reported entanglements with live whales. Of those, 71 (36%) rescues were initiated by the response team. Of those, 25 were full releases (7 occurred without aid) and 13 were partial releases. Thirty-seven (37) were unsuccessful either because the whale was not located, conditions were too dangerous for the whale and/or responders, or it was determined that there was no need for intervention. Whales that were located already dead accounted for about 16% of all reports.

Hi! My boyfriend is getting his full drivers licence soon and he has his own car which means he won't be walking 30 minutes to the station etc and getting around will be super easy for him. That means a bigger chance he will cheat on me :(
Im getting paranoid now and I don't know what to do cos before it would've been inconvenient eg if he wanted to go to some other girl's house but now that he will have a car.. There may be problems.
At the moment I know that he only calls me (and rarely calls female friends), we spend 4 consecutive days together a week (basically glued together during that time) and there have been no dodgy behaviour, he shows me his phone if he gets a text or email etc even when I don't ask. Should I be scared that he will have more freedom?
Most Helpful Guy
No guarantee he isn't already. But getting a car won't be the reason he cheats if it ever does happen.00|00|0
Most Helpful Girl
Uuuh no. It will be fine. More freedom doesn't mean that he will be more unfaithful. If someone wants to cheat they will find a way, if they want to be faithful then they will. I think you will feel a lot better if you tell him how you feel (DON'T ask him if he's going to cheat on you or tell him you think he is going to cheat on you as this sheds blame on him where it makes no sense for there to be any). Tell him you have this weird fear that he will cheat because you know he'll have more chances to cheat once he can drive. Hopefully he can help ease your fears.11|00|0

Campbell was Professor of viola da gamba and violone at the Royal Academy of Music.[3] As a gamba soloist he has been associated since 1981 with Sir John Eliot Gardiner's English Baroque Soloists and their performances and recordings of J. S. Bach and François Couperin. He has performed as gamba-soloist or principal cellist with ensembles including Northern Sinfonia, the orchestra of The Sixteen, Ex Cathedra of Birmingham, the City of London Sinfonia, the St James's Baroque Players, Florilegium, and Paul McCreesh's Gabrieli Players. He was a founding member of Jakob Lindberg's Dowland Consort, Philip Picket's Musicians of the Globe and, Charles Humphries's ensemble Kontraband.

I.W. Harper 15 is interesting and not just because it's a decent bourbon. The I.W. Harper Brand extends back to 1872 and was originally put out by Isaac Wolfe Bernheim. Like many brands it has changed hands several times over the years; its current owner is Diageo who's using whiskey sourced from the Bernheim Distillery (Heaven Hill). A fitting source if there ever was one.
In Diageo's Words: I.W. Harper 15
"Sweeter up front with grain and corn immediately apparent, I.W. HARPER 15-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey then moves into notes of oak, raisin, caramel, spice, and vanilla. The finish leaves a long and lasting mouthfeel perfect for enjoying on the rocks, or neat to truly appreciate the full flavor profile."
For the last 20+ years the I.W. Harper brand has only been available overseas but back in 2015 it was brought back to the States as a NAS I.W. Harper Bourbon and the I.W. Harper 15. I reviewed the NAS a while ago and thought it was ok, it wasn't something I was dying to buy, but this is a bit different. Without further adieu, let's dig into this I.W. Harper 15 review!
I.W. Harper 15 Info
Region: Kentucky, USA
Distiller: Heaven Hill (Bernheim Distillery)
Bottler: Diageo
Mashbill: 75% Corn, 13% Rye, 12% Malted Barley
Cask: New Charred Oak
Age: 15 Years
Price: $110
I.W. Harper 15 Review
Ruddy Copper
Layers of dark fruit, spice, caramel, oak, vanilla and cinnamon muffins get topped off with bits of corn and olde time candy. It's a lovely aroma. There's something in there that reminds me a bit of OBE, that funky mustiness of old bottles, but not quite.
Dark fruit, spice, toffee, oak, vanilla, cinnamon and grain with a bit of that olde time candy sweetness. Not quite as dynamic as the aroma, but still has a bit of that OBE-like quality to it.
Long fade of corn, spice, toffee and oak
Good sense of balance, medium body and a warm light syrup feel.
I quite like the I.W. Harper 15. The aroma is sweet and rustic, the palate a slightly muted version of the aroma and the finish kicks up on a long winding rustic fade. A big improvement over the NAS I.W. Harper this is bourbon I could easily drink every day. There's a depth and a richness to it from beginning to end that's pleasant and inviting. The only thing it's missing is that oomph, that bourbon X factor to push it up and over the line.
Thanks to Tehsumo for the sample

Meeting Zoe and Marty early last year on a crazy hot summer's night we couldn't help but get the feeling this couple were meant to be together. Zoe was so excited about the wedding, as most brides are, but Marty showed just as much interest, chatting away with us about all things wedding with a gleam in his eye. This couple were excited to give all their guests a fantastic night and to begin a new chapter as a married couple. Over the months with a lot of people that excitement becomes stress as the wedding approaches but not for this couple, who could not wipe the smiles off their faces every moment of their perfect December day.
Thank you Zoe and Marty for allowing us to be a part of it xx

Regulatory Bodies
The Broadcasting Act 1989 and subsequent amendments governs the way television operates in New Zealand.
The Act's primary focus is programme standards, the establishment of New Zealand On Air and regulation of election programmes. The environment is largely deregulated with no controls on overseas ownership of broadcasting and spectrum is distributed by auction through the sale of quasi property rights.
The principle agencies involved are:
NZ On Air
NZ On Air's role is to help fund a range of locally-made programmes, and to ensure diversity on television and radio.
In particular, NZ On Air television funding is allocated to the production of 'at risk' categories such as drama and documentaries, and to programmes catering to the interests of women, children, persons with disabilities and minorities in the community, including ethnic minorities.
Advertising Standards Authority (ASA)
The ASA aims to maintain a generally acceptable standard of advertising, and to ensure that advertising is not misleading or deceptive, either by statement or by implication. It promotes an effective system of voluntary self-regulation in respect to advertising standards. It also administers and funds the Advertising Standards Complaints Board.
The ASA has a membership of media and advertising organisations.
Ministry of Economic Development
The Ministry's Radio Spectrum management division is responsible for the sale and management of spectrum. It operates under the Radiocommunications Act.
Ministry of Culture and Heritage
This Ministry provides policy advice to the Government on broadcasting issues and also supervises the BSA and NZOA.
Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA)
The Broadcasting Act 1989 requires broadcasters to maintain standards consistent with: the observance of good taste and decency, the maintenance of law and order, individual privacy, balance, fairness and accuracy, approved codes of broadcasting practice.
The BSA aims to maintain these standards through its approved detailed codes of broadcasting practice, and through a formal complaints process. The Codes of Practice aim to regulate: the protection of children, privacy, the portrayal of violence, fair and accurate programming, restrictions on the promotion of liquor, how programmes are classified, safeguards against discrimination.
Commercials Approvals Bureau
Established in 1989 as a self-regulatory initiative by the major television broadcasters, CAB provides a service independent of any particular broadcaster. Its key objective is to ensure participating television broadcasters maintain proper advertising standards.
Television broadcasters make it a condition that all advertisements are accepted and classified by CAB before they are supplied for broadcast. CAB decisions are guided by the relevant legislation, including the Broadcasting Act and the Fair Trading Act, and the Codes of Practice developed under the auspices of the statutory BSA, as well as the Advertising Codes of Practice produced by the ASA.
While in no way relieving broadcasters or advertisers of their legal responsibilities, CAB provides a reliable advisory service to the advertising industry and to television broadcasters. Its staff is aware of current interpretations of the Codes and statutes regarding advertising, and applies them consistently to scripts of proposed commercials and to completed advertisements.
Advertising Pre-Vetting Systems – LAPS and TAPS
The Association of New Zealand Advertisers (ANZA) is responsible for administering the advertising industry's voluntary system of pre-vetting all liquor advertisements (LAPS). In 2000 a similar system was introduced for pre-vetting therapeutic advertising (TAPS).
Both systems require advertising for all liquor and therapeutic products to be vetted for compliance with the relevant codes and regulations before being approved for media placement. The first point of contact for advertisers requiring LAPS or TAPS services is to contact ANZA for further information.
Advertising to Children – A Socially Responsible Approach
All those involved in Television broadcasting recognize the need for a high level of social responsibility in communicating to children. No advertising or sponsorship is run in programming produced for pre-school children. In 2008 a new advertising classification was established. CF (Children's Food) is applied during programming aimed at school age children, and limits the type of food advertisements that can run in these programmes. In addition, advertising in school age children's programming is reduced to a maximum of 10 minutes per hour.
ThinkTV has produced a booklet "Advertising on Television – Getting it Right For Children" that explains these policies in more detail. Download the booklet.

VOF and DPM model was used in the calculation. The fluent calculation will stop with the problem as follow>
MPI application rank 0 exited before mpi_finalize() with status -1073741819
The fl process could not be started
Is there anyone know what is the problem?
Thanks a lot!
Please post some more information about when the error occurs and the problem set up.
Are you using a UDF?
Does the error occur as soon as you start Fluent or
Does the error occur when you start the simulation?
I had a similar issue like this once and it was because I incorrectly specified the compiler directives in my UDF.
some details
1 Attachment(s)
I used DPM and UDF model in the simulation. There is inlet-velocity boundary conditions in which *profile* method was used.
There was no errors when VOF and profile were used, and no errors when VOF and DPM were used. Errors Only come out when VOF, DPM and profile were combined.No UDF.
So I am thinking if there are some conflict between VOF, DPM and profile.But I can not find any useful info..

Through it all, Ms. Maloney, who represents parts of
In the end, however, she bowed out.
After several days in which she seemed prepared to formally announce the start of her campaign, Ms. Maloney on Friday instead said she was abandoning the effort as she confronted a reality that often gives pause to even the most ambitious politician: the prospect of losing a secure job for a long-shot gamble.
"It was not so much the objections of the party establishment that affected her decision," said a close associate who asked not to be identified because he did not want to be seen as betraying Ms. Maloney's confidence. "It was the possibility that she might have to give up the job she loved."
Ms. Maloney, for her part, framed her decision in the context of having too much work to do in Congress to take on the demands of a statewide campaign.Continue reading the main story
"Running for the Senate is a full-time job," Ms. Maloney said in a statement. "Giving up for a critical period of time the things I do best — passing legislation, working on the issues, serving New Yorkers — would put politics before policy. The right decision for me and the people I represent is to stay in the House of Representatives."
Ms. Maloney's decision accomplishes what the Democratic political establishment had long wanted: a virtually clear path to the Democratic nomination for Senator
Ms. Gillibrand issued a statement within minutes of Ms. Maloney's announcement. "Carolyn Maloney is a dedicated public servant and a passionate, effective advocate for the issues she fights for," Ms. Gillibrand said.
Ms. Maloney's decision — something aides say she agonized over for weeks, even as she assembled a campaign staff — brought an end to political maneuverings among the
It is also a victory for Senator
"We all appreciate how difficult a decision this was for Congresswoman Maloney," Mr. Schumer said in a statement. "She is on a very fast and sharp trajectory in the House."
Mr. Schumer and other Democratic leaders had embarked on an aggressive campaign to force potential challengers from the race because they feared a primary battle would deplete the financial resources of the eventual Democratic nominee and expose them to attacks that Republicans could exploit.
In May,
A few days later,
That left Ms. Maloney, who took office in 1993, as the only prominent Democrat who continued to take overt steps to enter the primary race, provoking such consternation among Ms. Gillibrand and her allies that Vice President
Ms. Maloney and her advisers believed they could build a campaign around the political vulnerabilities they saw in Ms. Gillibrand, a former congresswoman whom Gov.
Ms. Gillibrand, who represented a conservative district in upstate New York, had taken several positions in the House that were at odds with the views of many of the liberal downstate Democrats who dominate primaries, including her support for gun rights.
But the weeks that Ms. Maloney spent preparing for a run were hardly auspicious. Her former supporters and allies abandoned her in favor of Ms. Gillibrand, as Ms. Maloney remained coy about when she would formally announce her candidacy.
Ms. Maloney also got a taste of how rough the primary would be when Ms. Gillibrand's political surrogates pounced on her after she gave an interview with a political Web site in which she repeated a racially offensive term that she said a caller had used in complaining about Ms. Gillibrand. Ms. Maloney later apologized for repeating the caller's remarks.Continue reading the main story

solve: how many arrangements of six 0's, 5's and 4's are r\there in which a) the first 0 preceeds the first 1 b) the first 0 preceeds the first 1 which preceeds the first 2?
- print Print
- list Cite
I'm guessing you meant six 0s, six 1s, six 2s? otherwise there are no such arrangements, since an arrangement of 0s, 4s,and 5s contains no 1s.
A) take any such arrangement, and ignore the 2s for a moment. This is an arrangement of six 0s and six 1s. We can think of this as filling up the following with 0s and 1s:
The first one can't be a 1, else the first 1 would appear before the first 0. Thus we have:
Of the eleven spots that remain, we must choose five of them to contain 0s. The rest we fill in with 1s. There are `([11],[5])=462`
ways to do this.
Say we happen to pick:
Now, we want to fill in:
with six 0s, six 1s, six 2s. We can do this by picking the six spots that will go to 2s. There are `([18],[6])=18564` ways to do this. And then filling in the remaining spots with our number. E.g., suppose we had picked:
Then our number would be:
So we have 462*18564=8576568 ways to do this.
We use the same logic as before:
Take any arrangement of the numbers. Ignore the 0s, and what remains is an arrangement of 1s and 2s. Thus we want to fill the slots of:
with 1s and 2s. But we want the first 1 to appear before the first 2, so we must have:
In the remaining eleven spots go five 1s and six 2s. We choose the spots for the 1s. There are `([11],[5])=462` ways to do this. And then fill the remaining spots with the 2s.
We end up with a string, say 111221221212
Now, we want to fill in:
with six 0s, and then fill in the remaining spots in order, using the numbers from our string containing 1s and 2s. But we want the first spot to go to a 0. Thus:
There are seventeen spots remaining, and five of them must be 0. There are `([17],[5])=6188` ways to pick the 0 spots. Say we pick:
We then fill in the remaining spots using, in order, our arrangement of 1s and 2s:
Thus there are 462*6188=2858856 possible arrangements.

"would sail for Bristol"
by emilygray
Bristol is a lively, compact city on the south west coast of England with a history stretching back over a thousand years. Connected to the North Atlantic Ocean by the Severn Estuary, which flows into the Bristol Channel, its fortunes have always been strongly connected with maritime trade. During the seventeenth century, it imported large quantities of sugar from the Caribbean and tobacco from North America.

Coast Guard, 4 Years Enlisted after graduating from LVHS. Boot camp was on a small island between Oakland and Alemeda Island, Calif. I still remember those 12 weeks as a serious life experience. I was stationed aboard the USCGC Matagorda. We homeported in Honolulu but spent most of our time off the coast of Asia doing this and that. I even ran into an LVHS classmate ashore in Yokuska, Japan. I spent my final year ashore in Long Beach, CA. My final rank was SK3 (E-4). I am a member of the American Legion and Sojourners of the Masonic Order. It is interesting to be a veteran now compared to when I came home in the 60s.

Living in the country 'take-out' food is never really a spontaneous option! Years ago when we were in town and close to dinnertime we would often pick something up to take home for supper. We don't do that so much anymore. Now we eat much more healthy. That in itself rules out a great deal of 'take-out' food. We love good Chinese food. Chinese take out, at least around here, is very, very high in sodium and usually high in MSG so we pass more often than not and make our own Chinese at home. The recipe for Beef Lo Mein is a bit fussy, as my husband once called it. It is worth the effort! Made with eye of beef round it is a healthier beef option. The trick is in the tenderizing marinade. The recipe below serves 4 and is not heavy on the beef – just enough to flavor the vegetables and give everyone a a few bites!
2 – 4 ounce eye of beef round. Slice the rounds horizontally and then cut each round into ½ slices. Place in marinade.
1 tablespoon dried, minced onion
1 tablespoon lite soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon fresh, grated ginger
1 medium clove garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon dry, ground mustard
1 teaspoon 5-spice powder
juice on one small lime
½ teaspoon Mongolian fire oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
Place all marinade ingredients in plastic, zipper bag with beef strips. Marinade in refrigerator a minimum of 2 hours, turning bag a few times. When ready to place in wok remove meet and discard liquid marinade.
2 roasted Serrano peppers
1 medium onion
1 cup zucchini
2 medium carrots
4 ounces mushrooms
½ cup small broccoli florets
1 clove garlic, finely diced
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
In large sauté pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon canola oil and 1 tablespoon sesame oil until just below smoking point. Quickly, on high heat, cook beef until very crispy on both sides. Add more canola oil if needed. Remove meat to platter when crisp on both sides. To pan add onion, ginger, garlic and cook 4 minutes. Add mushrooms, roasted pepper and carrots. Cook 5 minutes or until carrots just begin to soften. Add zucchini. Add ¼ cup fat-free beef stock.
In pint jar mix together:
½ cup beef stock
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 C lite soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/4 teaspoon course ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1 package Kyoto Noodles – or other favorite noodles
Heat 5 quarts salted water to full boil. Add noodles and cook 3 minutes. Remove to towel to soak up any extra moisture. Noodles need to be cooked, but dry when added to this dish.
To prepared vegetables add sauce. Reduce heat to low. Quickly stir in beef strips and noodles and cook just long enough to warm through. Enjoy!

What can business leaders and managers learn from watching the earnings of publicly traded companies?
"Plenty," says Kathleen Brush, a 25-year veteran of international business and author of The Power of One: You're the Boss (www.kathleenbrush.com), a guide to developing the skills necessary to become an effective, respected leader.
"When looking at the corporations reporting lower-than-expected earnings, you need to read between the lines. They are not going to admit that the reason is a failure of leadership, but 99 times out of 100 that's what it is."
She cites Oracle, the business hardware and software giant, which recently reported a quarterly revenue shortfall based on a decline in new software licenses and cloud subscriptions.
The company is "not at all pleased with our revenue growth this quarter," Oracle co-president Safra Catz told analysts. "What we really saw was a lack of urgency that we sometimes see in the sales force ..." They are pointing the finger at the employees, but they are really admitting a failure of leadership, says Brush.
"Do you know how simple it is for managers to motivate sales people? If indeed the lack of sales urgency is the problem. There are dozens of bad leader behaviors that can cause sales to decline," she explains.
In her work for companies around the country, from restructuring operations to improving profitability, Brush says she sees an epidemic of bad leader behaviors. "When I point them out, most leaders downplay, or refuse to acknowledge, the impact their behaviors are having on their bottom line. But in companies where leaders change these behaviors employees become engaged and motivated. It is really that simple to increase productivity, innovation, and the bottom line," she says.
"If you're a boss examining your own lower-than-expected performance, instead of wasting time searching for scapegoats, look in the mirror. Most bosses unwittingly exhibit bad leader behaviors daily that cause their businesses to suffer."
Here are four increasingly prevalent and damaging behaviors:
"As a manager, you wield a tremendous amount of power," she says. "You can be an incredibly negative power or a positive one who's looked up to by both peers and employees." "For the latter, bosses have to purge the bad behaviors."
Kathleen Brush has more than two decades of experience as a senior executive with global business responsibilities. She has a Ph.D. in management and international studies. Brush has been teaching, writing, and consulting on international business and leadership for companies of all sizes, public and private, foreign and domestic.

Includes numbering and trunking arrangements, subscriber line signalling over both physical pairs and V.F. circuits, plus some information about connections for automatic dialing to some Continental European networks. On the numbering plan, the original allocations for some of the dependent exchanges (real and hypothetical) in the London zone were changed sometime around the late 1960's with the opening of a second zone exchange in London to handle increasing traffic and expansion of numbers within London itself beyond the original 21xxx through 29xxx allocation. The 81xxx through 87xxx areas were transferred to the new St. Botolph's exchange, which also added 88xxx & 89xxx for London itself. The original Fleet exchange added 91xxx through 94xxx for London, and saw the remaining dependent areas renumbered, thus: 88xxx Tunbridge Wells -> 95xxx 89xxx Canterbury -> 96xxx 17xxx Norwich -> 97xxx 18xxx Colchester -> 98xxx 19xxx Southend-on-Sea -> 99xxx Contributed by Paul Coxwell.

Interpreting nutrition and health news can be confusing, especially with internet "experts," biased journalists, company marketing efforts, and headlines of single studies. These outlets recognize that people are drawn to exceptional or miraculous stories that elicit an emotional response.
Good science is the best tool that we have to figure out how something is influencing our health. But finding out "what works" is rarely the result of a single study, but often years of research from various disciplines. Here are some of my resources to help you find information based on the best available scientific evidence.
Healthy or Hype Resources
Healthy or Hype Series
In this series, I take an in depth look at the scientific evidence behind some popular health claims or foods to see if they stand up to the hype or health claims behind them. Find out the truth about agave syrup, coconut oil, protein powders, bulletproof coffee, and more here.

News and Reviews of Popular Diets
Are you curious about a certain diet? Do you want to give advice to a friend who's following an eating plan that doesn't make a lot of sense to you? Read more here.
Nutrition "Experts" You Shouldn't Trust
Misinformation on nutrition and health seems more prevalent than evidence-based information. And it's becoming more challenging to figure out just who the experts are. Misinterpreted science, cherry-picked studies, conspiracies, and alluring anecdotes are the tools that many pseudoscience peddlers use to sell their stories. This page lists some of the more popular people or websites that do not provide evidence-based advice, along with links to articles that explain their lack of credibility and debunk many of their myths.
Myths and Misconceptions About Healthy Eating
Will carbohydrates make you fat? Is almond milk nutritious? Does dairy promote inflammation? Is wheat/gluten/grains bad for you? This page looks at the scientific evidence behind some of the more popular myths and misconceptions.
Healthy Eating Resources (with experts in Health and Nutrition Debunking)
To evaluate a diet, health claims, exercise regime, practices, or products, you should consult sources who use the best scientific evidence available while considering cumulative scientific knowledge in that area. This page lists experts who debunk popular health and nutrition misinformation, and includes resources who use an evidence-based approach to health advice.
General Information
Nutrition research is difficult to conduct and interpret. How much weight should you give to individual studies? Just because a study was conducted in mice, or because a human study was "observational" doesn't mean it should be discounted. And even the results of long-term well-designed clinical trials need to be carefully interpreted. (If you're curious about how to weight various evidence, here's a good primer).
Nutrition researchers do recognize the limitations of dietary data and implications for making evidence-based recommendations. Importantly, experts often have strict methodologies for examining the scientific literature for diet recommendations (see how the WHO's World Cancer Research Fund evaluates the science for their Expert Reports on diet and cancer in Ch. 3 – Judging the Evidence). Unfortunately, the same can't be said for many popular books and news articles (here is an example of "fact checking" in Nina Teicholz popular book The Big Fat Surprise).
To evaluate diet and health claims you should consult sources who interpret the best scientific evidence available while considering cumulative scientific knowledge in that area.

Hrithik visits Radio Mirchi to promote Kites
New Delhi:As Hritik Roshan's much awaited romantic thriller 'Kites' gets ready to hit theatres across the Country, the actor visited the Radio Mirchi 98.3 FM studios in Delhi to talk about his forthcoming movie and tell the listeners how eternal love transcends all barriers across castes, cultures and countries.
Trust Radio Mirchi to have their own fun contests; this one invited listeners to share their experiences of how they communicated with their lovers during their courtship days and continue to communicate with their partners….. Did they throw stones wrapped in a love letter on the lover's window? Did they pass on a message through a friend? Did they use the quintessential 'Ishaaras' like old Bollywood films? Or did they communicate through a code language to express their feeling.
The contest received an overwhelming response with entries floating from all across the city. From code languages, to sending letters as pen-friends, from love notes through best to special isharas, Radio Mirchi listeners had done it all…….but the excitement does not end here.
Those extraordinary ways of expressing love were applauded by the Greek god of the movie Kites – Hrithik Roshan himself on India's Hottest Radio Station, Radio Mirchi 98.3 FM.
Yatish Mehrishi, Cluster Head and Station Director said, 'Our listeners are our priority. We organise these contests as an effort to help bring bollywood closer to Delhites. Giving our listeners an opportunity to meet their favourite stars is an initiative of living up to our promise of Mirchi Sunne Wale Always Khush. Be it the best of music or stars…you can find it all exclusively on Mirchi."
Living up to its promise of providing latest and hottest tracks on air, Radio Mirchi listeners were also treated to the music of the film which was recently released at an exclusive music premier in the Radio Mirchi studios in Mumbai by the star himself and Rajesh Roshan, all throughout the day.
All an all, everybody at the studios was awed by the superstars' presence and enjoyed the morning thoroughly.

We seem to be a society consumed with fear. We tend to be more fearful of those things that "might happen" than we are of the real threats that are part of our day to day lives.
I've been giving this a lot of thought in the past few months. Wondering why the never-ending messages of fear coming from Donald Trump and the Conservative GOP candidates have any traction at all in our modern culture. Why we are trapped in a never-ending war against "terrorists". It doesn't make sense. Are we "that" powerless that we have to allow our lives to be driven by fear?
Other than the weather, or worrying about a sick cow, I don't remember my grandparents ever embracing the kind of fear that is pandemic in our human culture today. My grandfather would have laughed at the fear mongering of Trump and the GOP conservatives. He would have spit out his chewing tobacco, climbed back on his tractor, and reminded anyone listening "how hard it is to fix stupid".
As I thought about the difference between my grandfather's generation and mine, it struck me that there were indeed some deep differences. For example, it was rare to see my grandfather get in his old truck and drive to town for anything…..including food. I know, because I was always trying to ride with him so I could steer the truck on the back roads that led into the small village near his farm. As I got a bit older, he would throw a pillow on the seat and let me drive. He was definitely my favorite grandfather!
His trips to town were infrequent because he and my grandmother lived on the crops they grew on their farm, and the thirty or forty cows they milked every morning and night. There are few experiences in life better than the smell and sounds of a cow barn at dawn. I miss those times.
We've Lost Our Connection With The Natural World
Our lives are different today. We are so pathologically focused on being independent we've all but forgotten our dependence on nature, the weather, and the natural world around us. We've lost connection with our roots in nature! We've lost the ability to "see" how intimately connected we actually are with the natural world.
We've unconsciously bought into our primitive ego's illusion of separateness and lost touch with the reality that ecology is not about the planet, other life forms, our atmosphere, our oceans, or our forests. Ecology is our own personal relationship, and the intimate connection each of us has with nature. Ecology is the science of connectedness. A connectedness to the natural world that stretches back hundreds of thousands of years.
I got to wondering if that fact might be the root source of the fear driving our culture today? For example, our lives have become increasingly artificial; more and more cut off from the natural world.
- We've lost touch with a quality of life that respects the organic world.
- We live in a world that worships "progress".
- We live in a world that does not do well with delayed gratification.
- We have lost the ability to think in agricultural time frames.
- We want everything now!
- We live in a world that supports a high-yield monoculture agriculture, and as a result, we don't know where our food is grown. We don't know how it's grown. We don't know how to protect the soil with composting and organic recycling.
In the 21st Century modern world most of us are almost completely ecologically illiterate. We no longer understand the biological foundations of our own survival!
I have to believe our disconnection with the natural world is the primary reason we are in the midst of a dangerous and rapidly growing environmental crisis. And it may explain the pandemic fear, anxiety, and sense of powerlessness so many are experiencing.
The Basic Problem: We Are Totally Dependent On Others For Our Survival
Our vulnerability to fear and anxiety might be coming from the unconscious reality that we have become totally dependent on others for our survival! The more I sat with that reality, the more I realized it's no wonder we might have an unconscious pandemic sense of anxiety and fear. We know in our hearts that our very survival is totally dependent on others. If those "others" stopped producing or sending us our food, delivering our fuel, or providing our electricity, we would die very quickly. Think about it. We are totally dependent on "others" for our very survival! If they stop producing our food, our survival would be measured in days. How could we not be unconsciously fearful and anxious? Fearful of "might happen" events that could potentially impact our survival.
As I thought about it, I realized we don't think in agricultural terms any longer. We are no longer connected in any meaningful way with the natural world. We are distracted by the next text as if our life depended on it, but we ignore the fact that we have no idea how to even provide food for ourselves. We have no way to provide ourselves with our next meal unless it comes from a store or the fast food isle of a store.
It's not just the busy pace of our modern lives causing us stress. I am beginning to think it might be caused more by the fact that we have lost the fundamental abilities and skills needed to survive! No wonder we are fearful, vulnerable, helpless, anxious, depressed, and overwhelmed. Our dependence on others to provide our food, and the other resources required for our survival, is a reality that would create fear and anxiety in any rational person if they took a moment to consciously think about it.
All of us want to live a peaceful life; a life filled with a sense of well-being and happiness. But our total dependency on others and our overwhelming ecological ignorance of the natural world might be the more fundamental reasons responsible for the deep levels of fear, anxiety and powerlessness that seems pandemic in our country today.
The "modern" Western world has all but lost its connection with the natural world; the natural world that has been providing for humanity for thousands of years. We worry about the threats posed by terrorists, but our true sense of powerlessness may be embedded in our lack of knowledge about basic survival skills; the ability and knowledge needed to grow our own food.
The natural world has become a stranger to us. An "it", or "other". The more I thought about it, the more I realized it's no wonder we've created a global ecological crisis. It's no wonder we fail to honor the natural word. How could we not be unconsciously vulnerable, helpless and fearful? How could we not be unconsciously suffering from fear, depression, and anxiety caused by generations of indifference toward the natural world?
As I thought about my own life, I was thankful for the years spent visiting my grandparents farm, the countless hours I spent camping weekends with the boy scouts, and the countless hours spent building forts in the woods behind my house. Forts the protected us from the apple wars with the kids on the other side of the gully. I got to walk a mile to school and back every day on forest paths and railroad tracks. Every summer I tended the gardens I'd planted in my back yard. I can't imagine who I would be today without those memories and those childhood connections with the natural world. I doubt I would be tending six raised bed vegetable gardens, or watering four apple trees and a pear tree in our small grass-free backyard today.
The conclusions I've drawn from thinking about my own life, and the pandemic levels of fear present in our society today, has helped me understand how the illusion of separateness, created by our childhood primitive ego and it's never-ending need to protect our self-identity, has created a dangerous "us vs. them" way of seeing the world.
I now see more clearly the folly of thinking that we can somehow dominate and tame the natural world. We are nature! We are evolution in action both individually and culturally. How could we ever think we could dominate or tame the evolutionary impulse to "become" incarnate in the natural world and all of creation? Talk about human narcissism! The only viable path available to us is one of connection and deeper knowledge of how to live in a right relationship with the natural world.
The natural world of Gaia is not an "it". The Universe is not an "it". Both are conscious, living, evolving entities. Our human relationship with Gaia and our Universe needs to embrace the awe and sacredness that only our soul is capable of understanding. A deeper, sacred "thou" relationship. Until we re-connect with these simple realities, we will lack the wisdom and will to create a truly sustainable human culture on our planet.
Everything in our universe is a fully integrated, totally connected, oneness. And that includes you and me.
Every stage of evolution from the big bang to this very moment had to happen for us to be here.
Every part of the universe; you, me, and the smallest living bacteria on our planet, is nested inside and dependent on the larger whole called our planet. And the larger whole, the planet we are part of, is dependent on you and me, and all the smaller parts that make up our planet. Stated differently, we mutually benefit from being part of the larger whole, and the larger whole mutually benefits from us.
Evolution is based on cooperation and the mutual benefit of all. When we assume to be separate from the natural world, we lose sight of this deeper wisdom. We distance ourselves from the natural world and assume that we don't have to contribute back to the natural world. What folly!
If we want to deal with our fear and anxieties, perhaps we need to:
- deal with our ecological ignorance and re-learn how to grow our own food;
- go back to our roots in the natural world and create backyard and local community gardens;
- consider rebuilding the small family farms that have been abandoned;
- move back to rural villages and small towns and their inter-dependent communities where people tend to depend on one another;
- intentionally search for a sense of "home" in the natural world. Spend more time walking dirt paths. Taking the time every day to connect with the Earth and rekindle our connection with, and a love for the natural world…..the source of mental and physical health, nurturing, and security that we've lost in the modern world; and
- re-learn the skills needed to live in a right relationship with the natural world.
Perhaps if we could do those things, and get back to growing and harvesting, at least, some of our own food, it could help us be less fearful. Less anxious. Less vulnerable. Maybe even happier. Perhaps those changes could become a new definition of "progress" and "success" for our lives.
