The shoulder is an unforgiving joint. It's ball and socket structure is extremely mobile, and relies on muscles, tendons and ligaments to provide support. If one of those structures isn't properly supported, another will pick up the slack, increasing the risk of pain and injury. The four rotator cuff muscles are important for shoulder health. While this is true, you can't forget about the muscles that move your scapulae (shoulder blades), which provide stability for your shoulder joints. If the shoulder blade itself isn't stable, all the muscles that activate shoulder motion will be compromised and put you at a greater risk for injury. The greater stability you have in and around the shoulder blade, the better the shoulder muscles can work and activate, reducing the risk of injury in any of the ligaments, tendons and muscles of the shoulder joint. This is especially important if you lift heavy weights, play a throwing or swinging sport/position, or you're a swimmer.
This modified version of Plank is one of the most beneficial poses you can do to stabilize your shoulders. In addition, Plank will also strengthen your core and bone strength in your forearms and wrists. Your abdominal muscles will be engaged more than if Plank is performed simply on your hands alone, in which you hold your body at a higher angle.
Benefits of Forearm Plank:
Lie prone on your mat. In the beginning after an injury, start with doing the pose standing at a wall.
Spread your legs about hip-width apart. Place your forearms on the floor/wall- elbows directly under your shoulders. Flex your feet and tuck your toes under so the balls of your feet press into the floor. Contract your glutes and legs and lift your hips and thighs off the floor. At the wall, you will need to walk farther away from the wall until your shoulders are at a right angle to your upper arms and try to keep your feet flat on the floor.
Tighten your abdominals, looking at the floor/wall to align your neck and keep your back straight. Press your forearms into the floor and push through your upper back to keep from collapsing into your shoulders.
Avoid raising your hips up too high or letting them sag to the floor; your body should form a straight line from your head to your feet.
Breathe normally and hold this position for as long as you can. If you feel pain or can't maintain correct form, lower yourself to your knees and relax your muscles in child's pose.
Please Note:
Be careful that your core is continually engaged.
If you have shoulder or neck injuries use a bolster under your chest to support your torso or clasp your hands together instead of keeping the forearms parallel.
If you have a neck injury, support your forehead on a block or folded blanket.

Luke 7:11-17
We are currently exploring practical, biblical examples of our church's mission: taking the life-changing reality of Jesus to our neighborhoods, our cities, and our world. Specifically, we're focusing on eight verbs vital for anyone passionately living to reach others for Christ.
The world is significantly impacted by the Christian who gives and lives with compassion. Even though we give attention to the massive organizations that do so, compassion actually best happens everyday, anonymously, by each of us.
In Luke 7, Jesus demonstrates three steps of compassion:
- See the need (Luke 7:11-13). We are known to be followers of Jesus not by how much we know about the Bible, but rather by how much we move out compassionately towards others.
- Feel the need (Luke 7:13). The English word "compassion" comes from two Latin words which literally means "suffering with" others- we need to see long enough to feel. Each of us has been brought through a unique set of personal experiences so that we can have compassion for others.
- Act on the need (Luke 7:13). When Jesus acts, he breaks custom, religious law, molds, and stereotypes, all the while hurting his own reputation, future well being, and any possibility of personal gain. As Soren Kierkegaard observed, "love in Christ was pure action."
Let's challenge ourselves to be more aware of needs, feel the pains of others, and then act. Let's move out- from internal growth to external action through increasingly compassionate lives for Christ.
Conversation points:
- Which charitable organizations have you worked with or contributed to in the past? What is it about those organizations that inspire you?
- When considering opportunities to move out and meet the needs of others, two questions can be helpful: "what am I passionate about?" and "what breaks my heart?" How would you answer those questions?
- What steps could you take to become more consistent in seeing, feeling, and acting on behalf of those around you?

How To Capitalize On Your Creativity/
Many times when we discuss creativity, we think about authors, artists, and actors. It is fascinating watching these individuals express their creative skills in unique ways.
You may never want to publish a book, paint a masterpiece, or win an Oscar. But I believe you are just as creative as the previous mentioned individuals.
"God created each of us with unique gifts."
What are you doing with the gift God gifted you with?
What is Creativity?
I am firm believer we all are good at something. Also, I believe if we are good, we have the potential of being great with that gift.
You possess creativity within you and there are ways of capitalizing on your creativity.
Creativity is just producing something original that has value.
I have enjoyed working with my adult clients when it comes to capitalizing on their creativity through personal and professional development, but I get just as much fulfillment with volunteering my time at our church by working with our youth for the past nine years.
During those nine years, I have seen many brilliant children with great imaginations and ingenuity. According to research, we all start off with amazing creativity. However, somehow we begin losing the ability the create as we get older and enter the "real world."
What if you could grow old and keep a resemblance of your imagination and creativity you had when you were a child? I think you find yourself being a more prosperous person.
How to Capitalize on Your Creativity
Usually when you hear the word capitalize, it is used with money and sometimes sports. If you are reading this and you are looking for a more prosperous life, I want to help you. These eight tips will get you started in the right directions.
1. Focus on you. I am not putting this point here for you to be selfish, arrogant, or egotistical. But sometimes we focus so much on others that we neglect ourselves.
In the case of emergencies, there is a reason why adults are to put on the oxygen mask first if you are flying with children. If you as the adult lose oxygen, you will have absolutely no chance of helping the child flying with you.
The same principle applies to your creativity. You cannot help anyone else with their creativity if you cannot take time to focus on you and your needs.
2. Identify your strengths. When you discover your strengths, you more than likely will find a spark for your creativity. This spark will energize and empower your creativity.
3. Identify your weakness. When you know your weaknesses, it gives you an idea of some things you can improve. Improving these areas will further energize and empower your creativity. No one can be perfect at everything, but do your best to minimize or eliminate your weakness.
4. Believe in yourself. You may be thinking that this is the same as point one, but it is quite different. Believing in yourself has to do with you infusing confidence into your creativity.
When you are attempting to capitalize on your creativity, just remember that everyone will not believe in your creativity. And that is fine. In the initial stages of your creativity, you may be the only one that believes until you are able to nourish and develop your creativity.
5. Keep a close eye on your success. You can do this several ways, but I think part of you monitoring the success of your creativity needs to include writing goals and objectives. Goal writing is an entirely different blog post because there are so many pieces to writing a good goal.
Along with with goal writing, you can use praise from past customers, peers, bosses, etc. Find a way to keep a close eye on your success.
6. Search for sound encouragement. Pick out people you esteem that know you and ask them their feelings about your creativity. It goes without saying, these people should be individuals who will tell you the truth and give you an unbiased constructive feedback. Ask these people about your strengths and what areas they believe you can improve. You will be surprise to know some of these people may believe in your creativity more than you.
7. Test yourself. Do not be afraid to challenge yourself and your creativity. Up to this point, you have received great feedback internally and externally. Now, what are you going to do with that feedback? I hope you thinking of one word, GROW! It is time to take that feedback and grow.
Growing means taking risks and doing different things to improve your creativity.
8. Give back. Many of the other points has been about promoting you, but at some point we must find a way to give back to those who looking to capitalize on their on creativity. There are a number of people who have no idea if they are creative or not. Others may know the gifts they have been gifted with, but they are unfamiliar the process of how to capitalize on their creativity.
With all that said, know that you need to capitalize on your creativity. When you capitalize on your creativity, you will find yourself living a more fulfilled life. Not only will this create better personal opportunities, but it will enable more job and financial opportunities professionally.
I hope this information was helpful, but there are so many other things you may have questions about regarding your creativity. Please contact me by email and let me know how I can help you capitalize on your creativity.
Please share your creativity with me on Twitter or Facebook.

Many of us are gradually becoming more health and fitness conscious.
In fact, I see posts of like work outs on my Instagram almost everyday. I have also started exercising and have been attending Pilates classes, but sometimes it's just so hard to track my progress.
Hence, I'm really glad I have my Samsung GALAXY S5 LTE and Samsung Gear Fit to keep track of my exercise progress.
Look at how small and handy the Samsung Gear Fit is.
The Samsung Gear Fit is a unified version of a smartwatch and a fitness tracker. The sleek and lightweight Samsung Gear Fit comes with real time fitness coaching that provides workout recommendations. It helps to set goals like calorie intake, distance and time, or to manage workout performance. Also, it has pedomater and a heart rate sensor!!!
Best part?
You get instant notifications on your gear fit from your phone like incoming calls, emails, SMSes, alarm, S planner, 3rd party apps so you can stay connected while on the move.
Let me show you how it works and some of my progress!
The pedometer basically detects and records the number of steps you take and calories burnt from it.
I still don't understand how this genius of a device does it but it's really accurate.
Yay 10kcal burnt just from 0.24km of walking. My goal is to take 10000 steps a day!
There's also another function called "Log daily food intake" which measures calories ingested against calories burnt for physical activities. By using the BMR method, S Health recommends me my maximum daily calorie intake and calories to burn to maintain current weight. Girls on diet or looking for a healthy eating habit?? There you go!
As you can see, I eat the most for breakfast cos it's the most important meal of the day!
Another fun function is the heart rate sensor! I went around my house measuring everyone's heart rate and mine's the fastest! Maybe cos I'm the youngest? Hahah.
The one above was taken after I did sit-ups at home!
The Samsung Gear Fit is certified water and dust resistant so you can bring it along for adventures like mountain climbing etc, and you don't have to worry about spoiling it.
And if you wanna "zhng" it up, it's designed with changeable straps!
Just me logging my calorie intake after a post-pilates hearty brunch!
It really has been a great companion for my daily activities, and I look forward to more adventures with it!

For their Slovakia wedding, Lukas and Lenka had one rule of thumb – "for us, by us." They wanted the experience to be completely 100% unique to their own style and vision. What they produced was a high-fashion interpretation of the beloved cinema classic, La Dolce Vita, which set the tone for everything from the location to the bride's accessories.
Wiegerova Vila emitted the old world, Italian countryside feel the couple were hoping for; however, they put their own creative spin to infuse a modern vibe. Its villa-esque quality was matched with beautiful furniture for an up-to-date feel.
Lenka did not hold back when it came to her statement fashion choices for her wedding day. She channeled famous Italian design house Dolce and Gabbana throughout her entire look. The floral quality of her signature style was first made an appearance in her heels.
The high-low skirt of her gown was truly show-stopping. It featured a gilded and elaborate design that left everyone, including the groom, in awe.
The top of her gown was an off-the-shoulder beaded piece that she accessorized with a confidently colored hot pink belt.
Lenka is a fair-haired beauty who adorned her updo with floral hairpieces. She wore her makeup natural and light to show off her striking blue eyes. She accessorized with statement floral earrings to complete her bridal look.
Her bridesmaids also joined in on the floral fun. The group matched in V-neck dresses in various silhouettes, but chose their own personal style of shoes.
Lukas was overflowing with excitement. He looked handsome in a classic black tuxedo with black bow tie - a timeless choice.
The ceremony was full of warm sunshine and bright colors. Guests were seated amid rows of sleek black chairs. The ceremony took place between two flower-topped columns with a special table in the center. In the background were a row of large white balloons that fluttered in the breeze.
The groomsmen, who were dressed in handsome suits, escorted the bridesmaids.
But the piece de resistance was when Lenka walked down the aisle. Her dress was stunning and her oversized bouquet was captivating.
The couple said their "I dos" and walked back down the aisle hand-in-hand under a shower of rose petals to the tune of Jason Derulo.
They captured photos around the property that emitted the romanticism of La Dolce Vita, with its stone arches and steps, and high views of the lush countryside.
They transformed the reception space into a personalized affair. Large pictures of the bride and groom hung on the walls, along with small personalized cards on the table.
Each reception table featured a black and white-striped linen and bright pink floral centerpieces. Place settings were marked with black and white place cards, gold chargers, and black napkins.
Offering a lovely balance to the elaborate vision was their simple two-tiered naked wedding cake. The delicious creation featured layers adorned with an assortment of colorful and seasonal berries.
Lenka and Lukas danced the night away with their friends and family. They reflected on their day as something that was completely their own, unlike any other wedding before.
This couple's best advice is to make your wedding exactly that – your wedding. Be unique, throw out traditions if they don't speak to you, and communicate your vision to those with whom you choose to work. It will all be worth it as you're dancing the night away, basking in the most amazing wedding you've ever attended – yours!

Am I eligible for a Federal Direct Stafford Loan?
To be eligible for a Federal Direct Stafford loan, you must satisfy a number of requirements, including (but not limited to):
- Be enrolled at least half-time
- Maintain satisfactory academic progress (SAP)
- Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
- Be registered with the Selective Service (men only)
- Be a U.S. citizen, national, or eligible non-citizen
More information to be found here: https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/types/loans/subsidized-unsubsidized#eligibility
What kinds of Federal Direct Stafford loans are available?
There are two kinds of Federal Direct Stafford loans: subsidized and unsubsidized.
Subsidized loans are for Undergraduate students only and are need-based, meaning they're reserved for students who have demonstrated financial need on the FAFSA. The government pays the interest on a subsidized Direct Stafford loan as long as you're enrolled at least half time and during periods of deferment. After that, the interest is your responsibility.
Unsubsidized loans are not need-based, meaning they're available to all eligible students regardless of how much financial information reported on the FAFSA. You're responsible for the interest on an unsubsidized Direct Stafford loan as soon as UConn receives the money. You can choose to pay the interest while you're still in college or defer interest payments until you drop below half time status. If you choose the second option, the interest that accrues while you are in-school will capitalize (added to your principal balance) when you enter repayment.
As a first time borrower at UConn, how do I accept a Federal Direct Stafford Loan?
You must go to the Student Administration System to accept the Federal Direct Stafford Loan. Beginning in May, your loan will be electronically transmitted to the U.S. Department of Education. You will then receive an email from our office with instructions regarding completion of the Federal Direct Stafford Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN) requirement. You will also receive instructions from our office on completing the Federal Direct Stafford Loan Entrance Counseling requirement. Loan funds will not be deferred on your fee bill or disbursed to your student account until you complete both of these requirements, which details the terms and conditions of the loan(s).
Note for Transfer Students: If you previously borrowed a Federal Direct Stafford Loan through the Direct Loan Program, you will not need to complete a new MPN. If you previously borrowed a Federal Stafford Loan through a bank or private lender with Federal Family Education Loan(FFEL) Program, you will need to complete a new MPN for the Direct Loan Program.
As a continuing borrower at UConn, how do I apply for a Federal Direct Stafford Loan?
In order to apply for Federal Direct Stafford Loans, you will need to complete a FAFSA each year. When you accept a Federal Direct Stafford Loan, our office will electronically transmit your requested loan amount to the U.S. Department of Education. Once you have completed your Federal Direct Stafford Loan MPN, you will not be required to complete a new MPN for 10 years. In order to keep track of your loan debt, it is important to pay attention to your award notices and disclosure statements from your Direct Loan Servicer. You may also track your Federal Student Loan debt online with the National Student Loan Data System(NSLDS) to conduct a Financial Aid Review.

However, a student may never borrow more than the cost of education minus any other financial aid received.

To expedite the disbursement of your loan funds, you should complete your semester registration as early as possible, and be sure that you have submitted all required paperwork and completed all requirements.
Can I borrow a Federal Direct Stafford Loan for Summer?
Summer Federal Direct Stafford Loan eligibility is based on remaining eligibility after fall/spring borrowing and in accordance with annual loan limits. In other words, students can borrow in the summer if they did not borrow their full eligibility in the previous fall/spring semesters. To be considered for a Federal Direct Stafford Loan, you must have filed a FAFSA for the previous fall/spring (academic year).
What is required when I leave UConn?
Each Federal Direct Stafford Loan borrowed at the University of Connecticut is required to complete the Federal Direct Stafford Loan Exit Counseling requirement shortly before completing a degree, leaving the University (i.e., withdrawing) or dropping below half-time enrollment.
To complete this requirement, click here.
You will not be able to obtain an official academic transcript or be readmitted to the University until you complete this requirement.
Are there any fees?
The U.S. Department of Education charges a 1.062% origination fee for Federal Direct Stafford Loans with a first disbursement date on or after Oct. 1, 2018, and before Oct. 1, 2019. This fee is deducted from the loan by the U.S. Department of Education before the funds are applied to the student's University account
Where can I find information about repayment, deferment, or cancellation?
The U.S. Department of Education's Federal Student Aid website provides information on repayment, as well as deferment and cancellation options. To learn more click here: https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/repay-loans.
If your federal student loan debt is high relative to your income and family size, you may be eligible for an income-driven repayment plan. These plans are designed to make your student loan debt more manageable by reducing your monthly payment amount. Additional information available at https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/repay-loans/understand/plans/income-driven .
Additional information is also available on our website at repaying your federal student loans.
What happens to the interest on my loan if I'm on active duty with the U.S. Armed Forces?
The Higher Education Opportunity Act (Public Law 110-315) (HEOA) was enacted on August 14, 2008, and reauthorizes the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). The HEOA adds a new provision to section 455 of the HEA to provide that interest will not accrue on the Direct Loan of an eligible military borrower for a period of not more than 60 months. For this purpose, an eligible military borrower is one who is:
(1) serving on active duty during a war or other military operation or national emergency; or
(2) performing qualifying National Guard duty during a war or other military operation or national emergency; and serving in an area of hostilities in which service qualifies for special pay under section 310 of title 37, U.S.C.
This benefit applies to any eligible military borrower whose service includes August 14, 2008, or begins on or after that date. This benefit applies to Direct Loans first disbursed on or after October 1, 2008, and any portion of a Direct Consolidation Loan that repaid a Direct Loan first disbursed on or after that date. FFEL-only borrowers are authorized under section 428C(a)(3)(B)(i)(V) of the HEA to consolidate their loans in the Direct Loan Program to receive this benefit. For a Direct Loan borrower who also qualifies for the military service deferment, the borrower's deferment period and 60-month period of no interest accrual run concurrently.
Please Note: A Military Service and Post-Active Duty Student Deferment Request Form needs to be submitted.
Please contact your loan servicer to obtain this form. If you need assistance in determining your loan servicer, please contact our office at 860-486-2819 or email@example.com. You may also complete a Financial Aid Review of our Federal Student Loan debt at the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS).

Insurance as unique as your development
and why you may require a more specialist policy
Have you bought a wreck, a shell or a pile of rubble? Is it listed or of historic interest? If this is you, then we know youâre not afraid of hard work!
Such projects are a real labour of love â not to mention involving a million decisions concerning construction, design, process, cost and decoration.
Of course, you need insurance - during the build but also for your home and contents afterwards. And itâs not just "normal" or "non-standard" insurance, that just won't cut it for this kind of renovation or transformation.
Do not fall at the final hurdle. Make sure that your BESPOKE property is PROTECTED in the present and the future. Listed Property Protection policies are underwritten by the most trusted insurance companies in the United Kingdom.
Listed Property Protection (LPP) can help every step of the way. HOW?
- Advising on the status of your property. We have access to specialist surveyors who can assess and produce a professional report that highlights aspects of your property that are listed or of historic importance
- Guide on what you can and cannot do and the implications of using certain materials and building techniques (often this is restricted and stringently checked by a conservation officer, at various points of the project)
- Put you in contact with materials and construction specialists
- Assess risk that pertains to your particular site or project
- Offer a friendly, non-obligation overview of your insurance liabilities and responsibilities
- Put together a bespoke insurance package that covers you for all aspects of your project â including putting right unauthorised work by a previous owner and covering alternative accommodation should things go wrong
Listed Property Protection (LPP) is interested in working with you on all manner of projects â from the simple decoration of a listed building to a full rebuild after a disastrous fire or natural disaster â and everything in between.
Listed Property Protection (LPP) has more than 40 years of experience when it comes to insuring listed and special interest property.

Mr. Maundrell, 38, is the founder and president of aptsandlofts.com, a residential real estate brokerage firm based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, that specializes in properties in Brooklyn, and, more recently, Long Island City, Queens.
Mr. Maundrell founded the company in 2002.
Interview conducted and condensed by
Q. Is there a David J. Maundrell IV yet?
A. No, I have a little girl right now.
Q. If you had a son?
A. I think I'd have to.
No one ever knew I was the third until about a year and a half ago. My dad retired from being in banking his whole career and came to work with me. So my dad's a junior and it caused a lot of confusion. People would call and they'd say, "I'd like to talk to David Maundrell." And they would be asked: the son or the father? They would automatically think that my father owned the company.
Q. What does your dad do at the firm?
A. He's a sales agent and he's getting his associate broker's license.
Q. Is it difficult telling your dad what to do?
A. I have managers. Thank God I don't have to.
Q. What is your main role in the company?
A. I bring in new business. And a lot of my days are involved in consulting on our new developments, everything from pricing strategies to layouts to finishes.
Q. Brokers have become more involved with development planning.
A. It even starts earlier than that. I have folks who call me and say, "I'm thinking about buying this piece of property. What can we get?" We help come up with the unit mix and the individual layouts and kind of work with the architects, which is very tricky. Architects look at the real estate broker and say, "What do you know?" It's what the consumer wants, and we're just relaying that to you. I don't know what people want anymore, but I know what they don't want.
Q. What don't they want?
A. People don't want apartments with very little closet space. They don't want strip kitchens. They don't want these small, cramped rooms. People also don't want one person's vision. We try to help design a product that we can cast a wide net and bring in many people. Sometimes certain designs alienate. It may only be for one type of buyer or renter.
Q. You have two offices in Brooklyn — in Williamsburg and Cobble Hill. Have you ever considered expanding into Manhattan?
A. We tried to do something last summer. I said to myself: "What am I doing? Why am I trying to go into Manhattan where there's so much more in Brooklyn that I can conquer?"
Q. Will you be opening another office in Brooklyn?
A. I'm in the final stages of confirming a third office. I can't say where. It'll be in a part of Brooklyn that I feel my brand works.
Q. And what about an office in Long Island City?
A. Long Island City is a very tricky market and I got close to doing that also. The problem with Long Island City is that with the exception of the Lightstone building, which I'm doing, all the Long Island City waterfront is owned by Avalon or TF Cornerstone. Those buildings have their own on-site leasing teams and they control all the product, so it's very hard to do deals in those buildings.
Q. How much of your business is rentals versus sales?
A. More of the product right now is rental. But behind the scenes what we're seeing is developers are getting ready to go with more condos versus the rentals. We're in the planning stages of putting together a marketing strategy for a building in Williamsburg, with 20 units, that will come out at close to $1,200 a square foot. This was a ground-up development that was originally planned as being a condo. Then they were going to go rental and sell the building. Now they're going to go condo.
Q. How much higher are rents in Manhattan, compared with Brooklyn?
A. It could be anywhere from 30 to 50 percent, depending on where in Manhattan you're looking. But even Williamsburg is becoming very pricey these days — the market is pushing it up.
Q. So business is good?
A. Business is good. We have to bring to market from now through the next two years close to 4,000 apartments — rental and condo.
Q. Let's talk about what you're working on now.
A. We're going to push close to 800 apartments to the market over five projects or so in the next 45 to 60 days.
One is in Long Island City called Gantry Park Landing; the developer is Lightstone Group. That's 199 rental apartments that will open in the middle of July. The market is somewhere in the mid- to high $40s per square foot.
We're doing 50 North Fifth in Williamsburg, and that's close to 200 units, from the Mack Family. Those in Williamsburg go for over $60 a square foot.
We're opening a building in Park Slope — 105 units that'll go for about $60 a square foot.
And we're opening a 62-unit building in Flatbush in early July, not far from Brooklyn College. Those are very affordable: studios are $1,100, one-bedrooms are $1,500 and two-bedrooms are $1,900.
Q. Where would you like to see your company, say, in the next five to 10 years?
A. I want to be recognized as the premier independent brokerage company outside of Manhattan.

The dictionary definition of intense describes the word as something of extreme force or strength. In a gaming sense, that means taking online play to the max to provide the most thrilling experience and one where those involved get as close to the real action as possible.
Such a game provides the pinnacle of thrills and entertainment but they could be surprisingly good for your wellbeing at the same time. With that in mind, here are some of the most intense online games available today.
Red Code
Classic Shoot em up games remain popular and are never likely to go out of fashion but amongst some more familiar titles is Red Code. The game features that sought after theme of tracing and eliminating enemies but it also combines the area of science fiction which therefore enables it to cross paths with fans of another genre.
Players choose from four different weapons before heading off to explore different terrains. Aliens are the common enemy but even in retreat, participants can remain in control by heading back to their ship and continuing the assault with a high powered laser. While this may be a new title for some players, it's one that has a popular following, largely because of that ability to cross fanbases.
Online Roulette
Modern online casinos get close to the real-life experience in a number of ways. Many feature live dealers but whether you take advantage of them or not, a spin of the roulette wheel will always offer an intense thrill.
Casual players may not be aware that there are a whole host of roulette games online, it comes with a number of variants including French, American and European. All of them have just subtle differences but the principle is the same – call the number correctly and win a prize. There are free versions of roulette available across the internet, but a modest wager can increase the excitement of one of the most intense games online.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
The CS:GO series of games has blossomed to the extent that a whole set of tournaments and competitions has evolved. Counter-Strike Global Offensive Deathmatch is the version that makes it on to this list with players reporting that it is so addictive that they have to keep coming back again and again.
This specific title receives constant praise on the gaming forums while the usual video channels are full of clips that highlight the intensity of CS:GO Deathmatch. It is a virtual fight to the death and as such is one for the experienced gamer who can keep their sharpness as the battle comes down to the wire.
FIFA Soccer
In regards to sporting titles, the FIFA series is by far the most popular and its annual releases continue to break new records. It's already been confirmed that FIFA 19 is the fastest selling video game of 2018 and Christmas sales can only serve to boost those exceptional levels.
It's worthy of inclusion on any list of intense titles as FIFA Soccer gets incredibly close to the real thing. The sound is crystal clear but it's the exceptional graphics that make it really stand out with many casual observers unable to tell the difference between FIFA and a live game of football on the TV. But to experience the real intensity, the game just has to be played.
FIFA replicates all of the thrills of soccer's major competitions from the Champions League through to domestic trophies across the world. Mistakes can cost a game and a trophy and that's why players have to be at the peak of their powers. At the very end of the intensity scale comes the dreaded penalty shootout so, for realism that replicates the real-life anxieties of professional soccer, this iconic title simply has to be on the list.
Dungeons and Dragons
Intensity can come in many forms: There is the instant thrill of scoring a goal in FIFA or wiping out an enemy in Red Code while in other video games, it's all about endurance. Dungeons and Dragons definitely falls into the latter category with games lasting for hours and even days.
Based on the board game that has been popular for many years, the online version of this title is available through many outlets following its first release in 2006. Many of the quests and challenges will be familiar for those who have played the dice and board version but the obvious difference here is that the designers have been able to take the fantasy theme and really go overboard on the graphics.
Traditional D&D players still baulk at playing online as they like to stay true to the original version. It's a shame because there is lots to enjoy for experienced exponents and novices alike but if you do play the video game variant, be prepared for an intense marathon as you look for success.

Today I'm linking up with Emily from Chatting at the Sky and Leigh Kramer for their August posts: What I've Learned and What I'm Into.
What I've learned:
1. I am capable of so much more when fear is removed.
I roped myself into the idea of doing a #Back2School in #31Days series during the whole month of August by saying to myself:
You'll only have to write 400+ words, you can count a day by just posting to Facebook, and you don't have to have a picture in every post. Just mark every day in some way. Make a difference in small steps – and don't despise the smallness.
Oh how the series outgrew this standard. It has taught me to count my days, and make my time count.
I can't believe how much I've grown as a writer because of this series, not to mention the fact that I have faced down the startling challenge of setting up a room that started like this (these were the before pictures included in Day 3).
I had the special challenge of continuing to settle into our new home – we moved in July – so setting up a space for all the home education supplies to live isn't something I have to do every year (actually, I almost have had to do this every year, 3 moves in 5 years – but I think I'm done now).
2. I was encouraged to discover my unfair advantage. Anne from the Modern Mrs. Darcy shared hers and then gave clues as to how to find your own.
Mine is memory.
I remember things. I don't try to remember everything, and I admit when I don't remember something (that used to be an area of stubbornness – being really good at something tends to bristle me when I'm found lacking in it).
I'm trying to be more reflective about what I remember too. Not just rushing past and getting on to the next thing, but savoring. Slowing. Steading. I am who I am right now, and my memories are my treasures – some have eternal meaning. These mean more to me than whether I have a leaky shower to fix or a load of laundry to wash.
I don't know what my unfair advantage is supposed to be useful for in its entirety just yet, but for now I'm studying it – I'm thankful for it.
3. Celebrating Tuesdays. I'm reading Simply Tuesday, and it feels like the perfect mental summary to the lessons simplifying externally have taught me. Sure the external stuff needs to be decluttered, organized, removed, addressed, etc. But what about the thoughts, people, places, and memories all jumbled up in my soul? Where do these pieces fit? Am I allowed to sit and simplify my heart?
I loved listening to the Intro and 1st Chapter of the book so much that I went out the same day a bought it. Which leads me to #4.
4. I am an audible learner. Every session I've listened to by Dr. Kathy Koch, every sermon by Pastor Mark, every podcast, and every audiobook I've engaged with feels more permanent in my memory. I'm not sure if it's also because I like to listen to these over and over, or if it is because I sincerely love hearing voice, tone, and inflection to gain a greater understanding of the author's intent – either way, listening enriches and teaches me. This is also the reason why online courses that include audio files or videos feel so valuable to me.
Here's what I've been listening to:
- The Giver :: Audiobook, written by Lois Lowry and narrated by Ron Rifkin
- The Ordinary Revolution :: Sermons by Pastor Mark
- The Read-Aloud Revival :: Podcasts with Sarah McKenzie
- The 4 Essential Habit of Healthy Families :: Free Mini Audio Course
- Make Over Your Mornings :: Online Course by Crystal Paine
- Grocery University (just started – I'm really hoping to cut our grocery budget even further!) :: Online Course by Crystal Paine
(For a list of audiobooks we listened to last month click here.)
If you've never tried audiobooks, or you don't think listening to podcasts is a habit you want to start – I'm not trying to change your mind!
But if you're feeling stuck, if your thoughts are more discouraging than encouraging, or you just don't have the leisure to read as much as you'd like – then let me encourage you to start by picking one thing to listen to. Pick a household chore that you find yourself doing the most (for me, it's dishes and meal prep) and couple that chore with listening to something you'll benefit from. Prop your phone or tablet on a surface that is safe or crank the volume on your computer and enjoy. Or during quiet time for your kids, pop in your ear buds and fill your mind with helpful and encouraging thoughts to strengthen your heart and mind.
What I'm into:
I think it's safe to say, I'm still into audiobooks.
So moving on.
I've been really into my blog this month, and I know that sounds weird. I'm not saying I'm idolizing it or praising it – I've just spent a lot of time with it and in it. The time taken to write and share here has grown me – and for that I'm thankful.
The most popular posts from this past month were:
- Day 12: Planning – Requirements & Records
- Day 14: How I set up my Bullet Journal
- Day 5: Creating a Book Nook
- Day 13: Why Bullet Journal
- July Recap: A peek into my life.
I'm still into my Bullet Journal. I thought I was going to cave and buy a The Ultimate Homeschool Planner, but I realized that I just wanted the thoughtfulness of the yearly planning portion and I didn't think I would truly use the daily planning (making it another wasted planner on the shelf). So, I studied the sample pages (thank you Amazon for the "Look Inside" feature – helps me every time).
I did, however, cave and bought this planner. I knew it was time to separate the blogging part of my life and begin taking more practical steps to build this blog even more. It's exciting.
Other blogs I've visited most this month:
- Amongst Lovely Things :: Favorite: "Do It Afraid"
- The Unplugged Family :: Most Helpful: Planning Five in a Row
- Molly Madonna:: Prettiest blog design
- Modern Mrs. Darcy:: Yes: Three Little Words to Overcome Perfectionism.
I bought Teaching from Rest (still waiting on this to arrive!) and A Million Little Ways (Kindle special! $1.99 I'd rather have paperback, but I'm just happy to have it. I've borrowed it from the library 3 times – never to finish it – and hold requests sometimes take forever to fulfill).
These two books represent two wonderful sources of inspiration for me. I'm often and most deeply mentored through books written by women just a little ways ahead of me in the story of their lives. I love pouring over their words, thoughts, and lessons.
I also asked on Facebook for a fiction recommendation – see the post here – and the response was amazing! I'm still looking through all the titles and making the list (requested by some of the commenters). This simple question created a community! To my surprise and delight, friends started chiming in that we should start a book club – both online and in person. And given my love for connection, books, and organization I said yes – with a catch: I can't meet every month. New and exciting things can quickly trump boring but important things – knowing this, I quickly limited myself and the amount of time and effort I'll allow to this gift-group.
Being: there & here
This might be a "What I'm Learning" and "What I'm Into" overlap – but I'm gradually seeing myself fill the role of encourager in practical ways for some close people in my life. And while I take accountability seriously (I'm still learning to see it in a positive light and not as punishment), I am learning that I love to be the person that supports and strengthens others in their pursuits. Cheerleading was never something I sought out – and my personality is much to sober to embrace shouting and jumping – but in the softer more personal way, I'm gifted in this.
I'm learning to offer it to others freely – without criticism or expectation.
What's interesting to me is that as I see people come to me from outside my family for help in little things, I'm seeing myself understand my role of encourager and supporter within my family.
I'm learning to balance being there for them and being here for us.
It's much less glamorous to be an accountability partner to the members of your own family – and it involves a lot more commitment, love, grace, and forgiveness. It also demands honesty and exposure of my own shortness, smallness, and weakness. This is where the real work is done – but where the richest rewards are won.
I'm so into my home and my people. I'm looking so much more forward to September than I ever have before because of August – counting each day and making it count, growing in baby steps and imperfect progress, and accepting the less, the lack, and the small for how they ground me.

This method has many principles in common with the Early Years Foundation Stage, such as the importance of attachment and the key person, but it can offer support to build a truly child-centred model for working with the youngest children.
The Pikler approach is becoming better known in the UK and is being included in a growing number of qualifications and training courses.
We're delighted to have a five-page special feature on this approach, written by Dorothy Marlen, founder of the Pikler UK Association, in this issue of Nursery World, which explains the principles and how they link to the EYFS. It also features case studies of UK nurseries who have adopted the Pikler approach.
Learning from international early years approaches and reflecting on how to use elements to improve your practice in an appropriate way is hugely important.
Nursery World will be running a conference 'Play and learning: a global perspective' on 28 June in London, where Dorothy Marlen will talk about Pikler.
The day will include a keynote speech by Professor Carmen Dalli, from Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand, on the renowned Te Whariki early years curriculum. We'll also be drawing on expertise about Swedish outdoor provision, Reggio Emilia creativity, Froebel and more.
Look out for the launch of the conference very soon, with details in Nursery World magazine and on our website.

One of our most frequently asked questions is, "So is anyone else on this shorter workday bandwagon?" And the answer is - yes!
There are several modern and historical examples of people who intentionally structured their workday to reflect shorter, more concentrated hours of effective activity. Research shows that our productivity wanes the longer we're at work, and in our digital age, we end up spending more time managing our work than actually doing it. (How many emails are in your inbox right now? Too many? That's what we thought!) That's why a shorter workday that manages to outcomes instead of time clocked makes the most of your brain power and gives you back the valuable time you're losing to unproductive tasks.
In the Nineteenth Century, Charles Darwin did the bulk of his work from 8 a.m. to noon, with a brief break between "sprints" of concentrated effort to deal with correspondence. He then took a long lunch with his family, spent time outside, and socialized in the evening. Charles Darwin is one of the most accomplished naturalists in history and known universally for his work on evolution. If he can attain the decorated career he did in just four hours each day, think of all you could do emulating his daily routine!
Another famous Charles, Charles Dickens, was known to work from 9 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon with a break from lunch. He also found a four-hour workday fostered the best concentration and creativity, helping him pen some of the most well-known novels in society.
But what about today? We're constantly connected through our laptops and cell phones; there's no way we could tackle our long to-do lists in just four hours a day, right? Wrong! One of the leading voices in the conversation around a shorter workday is Stephen Aarstol, founder of Tower Paddleboards and author of The Five-Hour Workday. He moved his entire company to an 8-to-1 schedule, including sales and customer service, letting his employees enjoy surfing or other hobbies and side hustles in the afternoon. Meanwhile, the company continues to grow and attract some of the best talent.
Sweden is piloting a 6-hour workday in three different settings: a nursing home, a factory, and a hospital. Preliminary results show higher productivity and happier employees. Happier employees means less turnover and more satisfied clients, boosting your bottom line. Other companies are cluing into this, too: Jason Fried, founder of Basecamp, will be releasing his latest book titled The Calm Company later this year. They write in their synopsis of the book:
You'd think with all the hours people are putting in, and all the promises of tech's flavor of the month, the load would be lessening. It's not. It's getting heavier.
But the thing is, there's not more work to be done all of the sudden. The problem is there's hardly any uninterrupted, dedicated time to do it.
Working more but getting less done? It doesn't add up. But it does — it adds up to a majority of time wasted on things that don't matter.
We couldn't agree more. The key to a successful organization isn't hustle for hustle's sake, it's a calmer workday: "uninterrupted, dedicated time" to work hard and accomplish your goals, and then turning off the computer and getting outside or spending time with loved ones.
Finally, people want to work less - not because they are lazy, or because they don't need the financial incentives, but because excessively long work days with no boundaries leads to physical and mental exhaustion and ultimately, burn out. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that 78 percent of today's part-time workers choose to work less than full time for noneconomic reasons, meaning 20.5 million Americans are working fewer than 35 hours each week so they can focus on school, family or personal obligations, or other priorities.
So if you're interested in streamlining your workplace structure by implementing a workday that manages to outcomes and reduces wasted time, you're not alone. Next month, we'll look at some of the research behind why a shorter workday makes sense. If you're interested in working with us to optimize your workplace for better results and happier employees, contact us today!

I've had a mini-break from the online world and apologize for not having posted in awhile. Here's some fascinating news that was brought to my attention by my peer… RNA Biology is requiring that for articles of a certain track:
(1) substantial updates and reviews of existing RNA families or
(2) novel RNA families based on computational and/or experimental results for which little evolutionary analysis has been published
they must also include a published article in Wikipedia in order to be published. Talk about Internet and science. This is definitely a novel approach to peer-review, publication, information seeking behavior, and open access. Excellent, in my opinion. Here's a news story about the whole thing.
IEEE Xplore Adds MeSH Indexing
So, wanna be able to search those IEEE publications using MeSH? Well, now you can (for some). Use the U of M proxy for IEEE Xplore and the following publications have MeSH indexing back to 2006:
- IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine
- IEEE Trans on Bio-medical Engineering
- IEEE Trans on Image Processing
- IEEE trans on IT in biomedicine
- IEEE Trans on Medical Imaging
- IEEE Trans on Nanobioscience
- IEEE Trans on Neural Networks
- IEEE Trans on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
- IEEE Trans on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics: Part B – Cybernetics
- IEEE Trans on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control
- IEEE/ACM Trans on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
- IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications
- IEEE Trans on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence
- IEEE Trans on Visualization and Computer Graphics
- The Annual International Conference of the IEEE EMBS
It's nice to have our lives simplified sometimes.
NIH's SHARe-Asthma Resource Project
NIH has created the largest public access collection of clinical asthma and genetic data by expanding their SHARe (SNP Health Association Resource) project to the newly expanded SHARP (SHARe Asthma Resource Project) which includes data on 2,332 with asthma and 805 families whose DNA was tested for 1 million genetic variations.

St. Nicholas celebrates church building centennial
Bishop John Brungardt applauded the efforts of the eight Catholic families who organized Kinsley's St. Nicholas Parish 129 years ago during a Mass celebrating the centennial of the church building's dedication Oct. 14.
"We have a 129-year-old parish and a 100-year old building," the bishop said, commending the early settlers who brought their staunch faith to the Kansas prairie.
"That is faith," he said, strolling down the main aisle of the church. "Why does our faith mean so much to us? Part of it is our children. How are we going to pass our faith on to our children and our children's children?"
Commenting on the Mass' Gospel story of the rich young man who could not bring himself to give up his wealth to follow Jesus, the bishop noted that still "Jesus loved him."
"He loves all six billion of us here on earth now," he added. "Pope Benedict called for a Year of Faith starting last Thursday [Oct. 11], and he wants us to grow more in our faith."
The bishop drew chuckles – especially from men in the congregation – when he said there is too much materialism in the country and "too much emphasis on 22 guys chasing around an oblong ball."
"What did St. Nicholas and its first families pass on to us?" he asked the parishioners.
"Our Catholic faith," he answered himself. "As the gospel says, nothing is impossible with God. He loves us so much, more than we can ask or imagine."
A look back
Between 1874 and 1877, the Catholic congregation at Kinsley was served from Emporia, Great Bend and Newton, all in the person of Father Felix Swembergh.
In the beginning, the congregation numbered eight Catholic families living in dugouts and small frame houses. Some of these families moved to the area from the East with the New England Homestead and Colonization Bureau; others arrived from Wisconsin. Masses were celebrated in homes or at the Carlin Hotel.
In 1882, construction began on a frame church under the direction of Father Robert Loehrer, pastor at Windthorst.
By 1910, after a large influx of settlers into the county, the parish began planning for a new church building. The new church project took on great momentum in 1911, when Father August Heiman was assigned to the parish as its first resident pastor.
The newly constructed church -- the same one that stands today -- was dedicated by Bishop John J. Hennessy on Oct. 12, 1912.
Only part of the main body of the church was built at this time. It wasn't until the pastorate of Father John Cody, 36 years later, that the addition shown in the original blueprints was constructed. This addition provided for a spacious nave that nearly doubled the seating capacity. Bishop Mark K. Carroll rededicated the church on April 21, 1949.

US Navy christens destroyer Paul Ignatius (DDG 117)
The U.S. Navy christened its 67th Arleigh Burke-class destroyer Paul Ignatius (DDG 117) during a ceremony on April 8.
DDG 117 is named in honor of Paul Ignatius, who served as the United States' 59th Secretary of the Navy from 1967 to 1969. He made significant contributions during the administrations of presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Ignatius is a living namesake and was in attendance for today's ceremony.
"These Arleigh Burke destroyers provide our leaders with the ability to conduct a wide range of missions," said Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John M. Richardson. "That kind of flexibility is increasingly important in the world of maritime competition."
"I want to express my appreciation to the men and women of one of the world's best—if not the best shipyard—here at Huntington Ingalls, whose ships, as their motto proudly proclaims, are built stronger than steel," Ignatius said. "One of the great strengths of our country is the industrial might that builds ships, tanks and airplanes that ensured victory in World War II and that continue to undergird our efforts to maintain stability amid the new threats that face us."
Nancy W. Ignatius, his wife, is the ship's sponsor and officially christened the ship after breaking a bottle of sparkling wine across its bow.
Pre-commissioning unit Paul Ignatius is scheduled for delivery to the Navy in June 2018.

BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- The biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors both followed the broader market higher Wednesday, with Kos Pharmaceuticals being the biggest winner.
The Amex Biotechnology Index rose 1 percent to 496.85 and the Amex Pharmaceutical Index gained 1.5 percent to 316.47 after an unusually bullish day for sectors on Wall Street.
Kos KOSP leapt almost 30 percent to close at $42.31. Kos and rival Barr Laboratories announced earlier Wednesday that they had entered into negotiations to try to settle their patent dispute over Niaspan, the top-selling Kos drug. Barr had been seeking to put out a generic version of the cholesterol-fighting drug.
Shares of Barr also closed higher, up almost 2 percent at $48.55.
Pfizer also advanced. The pharmaceutical giant said late Wednesday that it had won a preliminary injunction that bars generic drugmakers Teva Pharmaceuticals TEVA, -1.06% and Ranbaxy from marketing a generic version of Pfizer's Accupril, also known as quinapril. Teva and Ranbaxy said they plan to appeal the ruling.
Pfizer was up almost 3 percent at $26.29.
Likewise, Bristol-Myers BMY, +1.00% gained almost 3 percent to close at $25.54. The conglomerate said late Tuesday that it had won FDA approval for its hepatitis B drug Baraclude.
On the losing side, Corgentech saw its shares plunged more than 50 percent to close at $2.43. The drugmaker said it was pulling the plug on its drug edifoligide after a Phase III clinical trial showed it was ineffective in preventing complications from coronary artery surgery. Corgentech had been developing the drug with Bristol-Myers.
Investors sold off shares of Cellegy Pharmaceuticals CLGY for the second day in a row. On Tuesday, the company said its auditors were inserting a "going concern" clause in the financially troubled company's annual report. Cellegy also announced that it had replaced its chief financial officer with Robert Caso, a longtime Johnson & Johnson executive.
Cellegy closed down 13 percent to $1.75.

The world is a mess. We may feel called to step up to the plate to create change, but how? What is an "authentic calling" in an upside-down world? Is finding such a path more difficult in this radically shifting climate? Is it more essential? What role can mysticism and spirit play in helping us align to a higher calling?
Join Caroline Allen at Third Place Books on January 14 at 7 p.m. to celebrate the launch of her second book, Air, as she explores these questions through the lens of her own story and that of the heroine of her Elemental Journey series of novels.
Caroline has coached hundreds of people all over the world in finding meaningful spiritual and artistic paths, and after reading from Air, she'll host a free presentation that will engage participants in exploring, excavating, and envisioning their purpose.
The Elemental Journey Series — Earth, Air, Fire and Water — is a heroine's journey over four richly literary books, a finding of the self and true calling in a world gone awry. Earth, published by Booktrope Editions in February 2015, is set in rural Missouri; it explores relationships to family and the earth and our traditional sense of home. Air, the second in the series, wrestles with the theme of homelessness. Set in Japan in the late 80s, Air asks: Where, truly, is home? If true home is our deepest spiritual calling, how do we make our way there?
Caroline will share her personal journey to finding her calling, from international journalist to novelist, visual artist and coach. The four books are fictionalized versions of her own life: poverty on a subsistence farm in rural Missouri, a journalism career in a Tokyo newsroom during the death of Emperor Hirohito, across SE Asia as a travel writer, and as a London journalist during the death of Diana, and finally the mystical call that would change her life forever. Today she is a metaphysical coach, a book coach, novelist and a visual artist. www.carolineallen.com

Those personalised rewards, pushed via customised and branded mobile app, are bringing customers back to Creams' 50 locations across the UK, increasing sales for the chain".
Creams Cafe's CEO Handley Amos said, "Our relationship with Como has been very positive thus far. The amount of app registrations is highly encouraging, and we've seen a 20% increase in spend by customers who purchase via the app. No doubt there is a lot more exciting elements to explore going forward, as we provide our customers with personalized offers based on the quality purchase behavior data the Como app captures."
The loyalty program will reward club members with a Loyalty card stamp each time they make a purchase over £6.

Microsoft Releases Windows 7
Contrary to Vista's release in 2006, Quain is advising consumers to embrace Windows 7. "With Windows 7, I've been testing it on a varity of systems. All those major applications now work just fine with Windows 7," says Quain.
Another perk to the new operating system? You won't need more hardware, memory space or other traditional upgrade necessities. "You don't actually need more hardware than you did with Windows Vista," says Quain. "And, it's actually quicker! Systems turn on more quickly, they close down more quickly - it's much smoother."
Quain thinks Microsoft has a hit on their hands with Windows 7. It actually has some features that Mac currently doesn't offer, so the new operating system may take some business away from Apple. As Quain demonstrated on HP's new TX2 laptop, Windows 7 is touch-screen friendly. "It's very iPhone-like, and you know what? The Mac doesn't have that on their desktop systems. Now, Windows 7 does," says Quain.
If you're looking to buy a new computer with Windows 7, Quain recommends the two new Intel chips - the I5 or the I7. "They're really zippy," says Quain. "They really have done a good job upgrading those as well, and they're not as expensive."
If you'd like to update your current PC to Windows 7, Quain says upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 is an easy fix. "If you have a Windows XP system, though... that's going to be difficult," says Quain. "You have to unload all your applications, put the new operating system on, then reload all those applications." Before putting any new operating system on your computer, be sure to back up all you files, especially family photos, music files and important work documents. Better to be safe than sorry.

Morrison Government missing in action at UN on International Women's Day/
The Morrison Government has failed to sign on to an International Women's Day statement at the United Nations calling for access to safe abortions, comprehensive sexuality education and sexual reproductive health.
As recently as last week, in a speech to the UN Human Rights Council, the Australian Foreign Minister, Marise Payne, said the number one guiding principle for the Government's time on the Council was "gender equality". Yet when 57 countries came together on International Women's Day to support a motion proposed by Finland and Mexico, the Morrison Government chose not to back it.
Edwina MacDonald, a Legal Director at the Human Rights Law Centre, who is attending the session in Geneva, said it was extremely disappointing to see the Australian Government once again fail to live up to its promises at the UN.
"Being able to make choices about our own bodies and access reproductive health are absolutely essential to achieving gender equality. No government can truly support gender equality and human rights without supporting access to safe abortions and reproductive rights," said Ms MacDonald.
In Australia, abortion is still in the criminal statute books in New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia. This is a recognised form of sex discrimination in international human rights law. The criminalisation of abortion harms women by making it harder to access safe and compassionate reproductive healthcare.
"The Morrison Government holds a really important role on the Human Rights Council, it should be using its voice at the UN to stand up for the rights of women all around the world. Instead we get hollow words here in Geneva and a failure to lift its game back home. It's so disappointing," said Ms MacDonald.
Australia was elected for a three-year term on the UN Human Rights Council in October 2017.

My son needed a new pair of sneakers, so naturally, we got the LEGO maniac some LEGO shoes. Yes, they make shoes, too, and according to my kid (that's him above), they're "awesome." He likes the soft padding around the ankles, and of course, he can't get enough of the LEGO brick details sewn on to the shoe, although he was disappointed that you can't actually stack LEGO bricks on them.
The boys' shoes are $35 for toddler sizes and $40 for preschool sizes, and shipping free. And if you don't like the design, choose from 8 other LEGO sneakers starting at just $20.
