Ways to Get Through the Day on No Sleep
14 May 2017
As any insomniac will tell you, the importance of sleep is not to be underestimated. Simply reducing your sleep by an hour a night can result in poor decision-making, an inability to focus and an off-balance circadian rhythm. Unfortunately, most of us have to deal with the consequences of a lack of sleep at some point, whether from partying too hard, working late, suffering the effects of insomnia, or travelling through the night. So, we look at the best ways of managing those days when you've just not had enough shut-eye.

Pelican death after Pass Christian parade under federal investigation
PASS CHRISTIAN -- The death of a juvenile pelican after Sunday's St. Paul's Carnival Association parade in Pass Christian is under investigation by state and federal agencies.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services and Mississippi Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks are investigating the death to determine if parade attendees played a part in its death.
According to a viral post on Facebook, a group of float riders were throwing Mardi Gras beads at the pelican until it became visibly distressed and walked into traffic where it was struck by a vehicle and killed.
Missy Dubuisson of Wild at Heart Rescue in Vancleave was notified about the bird's death.
"People feed pelicans, so they think that anything that is thrown to them is food," she said. "This is an example of someone being especially cruel to an animal. The body of the pelican has been recovered and it a necropsy will be conducted."
Pelicans are federally protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
Pass Christian Police Chief Tim Hendricks said he had heard about the pelican and he was told it was being investigated.

Small-town Gossip
Marianne Worthington
The best place to hear it? Not in the beauty shop, that warren
of backcombing and flaming hearsay; nor the church house
where prayer requests stand in for scandal. Do not listen
for it in the garages where men gather by twos and threes
gripping their coffee cups and old grudges; or in the Dollar
Store where old couples block the aisles comparing
ailments and dog-tired young women run in for cheap diapers
while their men wait for them, smoking, in idling cars.
You won't hear it the grocery store either, as aggravated
shoppers fume into their phones while stalking the aisles.
The best place—just listen—the best place is before good
daylight when the mockingbird practices his scales,
when the redbirds wake and cheer each other to the day's work:
chipping seed, ignoring the propaganda of jaybirds and crows.
Marianne Worthington is a poet, editor, and co-founder of Still: The Journal, an online magazine publishing literary, visual, and musical artists with ties to the Appalachian region since 2009. She received the Al Smith Fellowship from the Kentucky Arts Council and the Appalachian Book of the Year Award for her poetry collection, Larger Bodies Than Mine. She has edited four literary anthologies, most recently, Piano in a Sycamore: Writing Lessons from the Appalachian Writers' Workshop, co-edited with Silas House. Her work has appeared in Oxford American, CALYX, Grist, Shenandoah, The Louisville Review, Southern Poetry Anthology, and Vinegar and Char: Verse from the Southern Foodways Alliance, among other places. She lives, writes, and teaches in southeast Kentucky.

Join us as we welcome poet Marianne Kunkel as she introduces her new book of poetry: Hillary, Made Up. Books will be available to purchase at the reading, which begins at 11:30am with light refreshments served.
Hillary, Made Up provides an insightful view from the perspective of beauty products in an ode to Hillary Clinton. The beauty rituals that half of Americans take part in has never seen much poetry, but Marianne Kunkel delves into just that. Hillary, Made Up brings to light the unfair standards to which Americans hold successful women, and shows Hillary Clinton's political career from its beginning in the 1970s to her run in the presidential campaign. The collection tells this story through the lens of sexism, allowing readers to see the role that gender discrimination played in Hillary Clinton's ultimate loss to President Trump.
Marianne Kunkel is the author of The Laughing Game (Finishing Line Press) and holds an MFA in poetry from the University of Florida and a PhD in English from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She is an assistant professor of Creative Writing and Publishing at Missouri Western State University and the editor-in-chief of The Mochila Review.

Speaking From Memory
By Emily Gordon
HANDWRITING, by Michael Ondaatje. Knopf, 78 pp., $22.
THERE IS SOMETHING almost boyishly game about Michael Ondaatje's poems: He takes risks he rarely approaches in his prose, despite the tremendous ones he ventures there. It can be startling to come upon such tender honesty, so much personal reflection and detail, in fragments from a writer whose characters and narratives—like those in his best-known book, "The English Patient"—are so well formed. We may catch ourselves wondering whether this material would be better served in fiction or memoir. But these stories are undeniably his, and his to make into poetry.
Throughout "Handwriting," his ninth book of poems, Ondaatje continues to demonstrate that he is an emissary of the world. A Canadian who lives in Toronto, Ondaatje was born in Sri Lanka, and speaks from memory when he summons up saffron, parrot trees and jackfruit, "a silted water garden in Mihintale," "a nine-chambered box from Gampola."
The book's first section (of three) presents landscapes and historical vignettes from his first home, replete with buried Buddhas, bronze Buddhas purloined by shaking men in the dead of night, a Buddha's tooth "smuggled…from temple to temple for five hundred years," heady smells, stealth and secrets. It's clear Ondaatje loves the sounds these scenes evoke. Indeed, the names of the plants and the cities alone are redolent and magical, unfamiliarly intoxicating.
Yet what this collection proves even more clearly is that Ondaatje's true mastery lies in his diplomacy of the senses. The book's second section, titled "The Nine Sentiments" and drawing on themes of classical Sanskrit and Tamil poetry, is a celebration of the body, particularly in the form of a beloved woman. Ondaatje's eroticism occasionally crosses the line into excess cleverness: "I hold you the way astronomers / draw constellations for each other / in the markets of wisdom." And sometimes it's simply too much ("Ancient dutiful ants / hiding in the ceremonial / yak-tail fan / move towards and climb / her bone of ankle"); the English Patient would raise what's left of his eyebrows. But the great majority of these poems are winsome and stirring, and Ondaatje's reverent stance—"My path to this meeting / was lit by lightning," "her fearless heart / light as a barn owl / against him all night"—allows for buzzed and empathetic reading.
And so, if the first section of "Handwriting" concerns an almost-buried time, myth, symbol and a sensory return to the childhood realm, "The Nine Sentiments" is a study in the geography of the body. It's full of trysts, lovers' breathing, the discovered truths of and underneath the skin. This section tells a complete tale of anticipation, connection and attendant terror, and ends with questions—"Where is the suitor / undistressed / one can talk with / Where is there a room / without the damn god of love?"—that are, alas, unanswerable, but still full of a kind of partisan allegiance to passion. In the third (untitled) section, Ondaatje exposes other devotions, as with the sentimental rush of memory for "the tears / I gave to my ayah Rosalin on leaving / the first home of my life," and his identification with the 14th-Century poet-calligrapher Yang Weizhem, composer of an elegy for Zou Fulei, "almost unknown, / who made the best plum flower painting / of any period."
In the lucid prose poem "Death at Kataragama," Ondaatje leaves the human realm altogether: "There is a woodpecker I am enamoured of I saw this morning through my binoculars. A red thatch roof to his head more modest than crimson, deeper than blood…. Can my soul step into the body of that woodpecker? He may be too hot in sunlight, it could be a limited life. But if this had been offered to me today, at 9 a.m., I would have gone with him, traded this body for his." He captures perfectly a craving for escape without death or erasure - the violent gratitude for being alive coupled with the heartache of being oneself.
The poems in "Handwriting" emphasize narrative structure less than those in his previous books of poetry (collected into one volume, "The Cinnamon Peeler," and very much worth adding to any Ondaatje library), instead lingering in spaces and pauses that sometimes cause more puzzlement than respite. Ondaatje can tell a story, but sometimes he chooses not to, and the result can be frustratingly glancing and elliptical.
Still, the stories he does tell—in longer lines, and occasionally in the form of a prose poem—are corkers. "The Story," for instance—which begins with a king's premonition to his pregnant wife of a war, a seven-man journey among dancing rope-makers and a fateful creep into a dangerous castle, and continues as his son becomes one of the seven - lives the story as a fairy tale adventure, rather than as abstract parable. There is wisdom here—"There is no way to behave after victory"—as well as the humor that glitters off many of his earlier poems. The story in "The Story" is tumultuous, vibrant, tragic and over too soon.
If there is a larger theme in "Handwriting," it is the one its title suggests: Ondaatje longs for a less corrupted life of creation, one in which, for instance, "the poets wrote their stories on rock and leaf / to celebrate the work of the day, / the shadow pleasures of night," or a stonecutter who has only one tool and uses it expertly. Just as essential is the humility required in these endeavors, recalling Robert Frost's line in "The Woodpile" about the dignity of abandoning fuel "far from a useful fireplace."
In each section, through the poets and artisans he invents or recalls, Ondaatje reveals his own methods and designs, failings and desires. Like Zou Fulei, Ondaatje is concerned with explicit accomplishment: making, in words, the best plum flower painting - rather than, for instance, the great Canadian novel. He celebrates craft, vision and intense concentration, even as he is lovingly, and constantly, distracted.
Certainly, there's ambivalence inherent in this kind of life—evident in his reverie on the woodpecker, which ends, "This woman whose arm I would hold and comfort, that book I wanted to make and shape tight as a stone - I would give everything away for this sound of mud and water, hooves, great wings." Yet his choice of "Last Ink" to end this book returns him to the company of the calligrapher, Fifth Century seals that contain multitudes, a time "before the yellow age of paper." Ondaatje has inherited this century's mediums for expressing the human condition, but he can be counted among those who "shared it / on a scroll or nudged / the ink onto stone / to hold the vista of a life."

Commuters on a train line in northern Stockholm were met with an unusual sight this week: male train drivers and conductors wearing skirts to work.Train driver Martin Akersten says he and more than a dozen others at the Roslagsbanan line have started wearing skirts in the summer as a protest against the train company's uniform policy, which doesn't allow shorts....Arriva spokesman Tomas Hedenius says the company wants its staff to look "nice and proper," but can't stop men from wearing "women's clothes" if that's what they want because it would be discrimination.
Don't they have air conditionning?
Unlike in Canada, people in Sweden (and much of Europe) actually use their legs to move about in a motion called "walking" in an area that is known as "outdoors". I know that may seem foreign to Canadians who are used to going from their garage to a parking building in a motor-vehicle (in a state of permanent air-conditioning). During this experience in the "outdoors" while "walking" the human body tends to overheat easily. Sounds crazy right!
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?
Being required by someone else's religious beliefs to behave contrary to one's sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.
I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

This Old House
Creating their homes in unconventional spaces (think firehouse, grocery store, gas station), these six St. Louisans challenged tradition and made their living spaces uniquely their own.
Dale & Jill Peluso
For this Central West End couple, "home" was found in a decades-old neighborhood grocery store.
For a long time, the Peluso's home used to be the neighborhood grocery store, and tucked inconspicuously as it is at the end of a row of stately multi-floor houses, the one-story building still looks suspiciously like a poorly advertised retail establishment. For Dale Peluso, it's provided an opportunity to live in a great neighborhood on his terms.
Having had enough of the suburbs from childhood, Dale knew he was destined for an urban space. He had developed an affinity for the Central West End from his time as a student atWashington University, but he didn't have the money for one of the historic manses in the area, and he didn't want a condo. The old store, which had also served as studio space for an architect and a photographer before Dale found it, allowed him
to do his own thing.
"I saw it as a blank canvas," he says. The wide-open retail floor plan proved to also be ideal for a loft-like living space. But since it was intended as a place of business, it didn't exactly have all of the accoutrements needed for a residence, so Dale embarked on a gut rehab down to the bricks. The project was done on his schedule, and he did as much of the work himself as he could with the help of an architect and contractor. Now, some 10 years later, he considers it "about 90 percent done."
Jason Dakis & Kirsten O'Loughlin
This St. Louis couple took on the ultimate "work in progress" and eventually made a former police stable in Carondelet their ideal home.
Kirsten O'Loughlin and Jason Dakis had their hands full when they became the proud owners of the remnants of what was the fi rst police station in St. Louis, circa 1875. The previous owner had torn down the original station building and used a lot of the leftover materials to build out the former stable on the property into a decent living space, but it sat vacant and neglected for years before the couple took the reins in 2005. Though Jason knows his way around construction, the two had no real rehab experience when they moved in, and the place needed everything from heating and cooling to electrical
and plumbing. So they rolled up their sleeves, doing as much of the work as they could, including most of the demo.
Today, the spacious bottom floor is divided between Kirsten's letterpress studio and Jason's woodworking shop. "To have that much studio space to do my own thing is really liberating," Kirsten says. The upper floor is a loft-like living space, which opens out onto a deck that overlooks where the old station once stood, now a yard that's a perfect venue for the occasional neighborhood bonfire. "It's never really done, it's a constant project," Kirsten says of the space. "We don't really go on vacation, we just work on the house." Unlike some folks who get tired of projects and move on, Kirsten and Jason are in their house for the long haul. According to Kirsten, this is partly due to their affinity for the space and also because "basically, we have too much stuff to move."
Jason Evans
A former fiehouse provided a unique loft-like space for this Midtown resident.
"I've always been into unusual spaces," says Jason Evans. "I like the idea of living in
spaces that transform once you go inside." His Midtown home certainly fis that bill.
The building dates back to the 1890s and began as a location of Underwriters Salvage
Corps of the City of St. Louis, sort of a private firefighting service. The facade still
bears the name of the old company, and the original barn-type doors give a hint of its
former function. But once they swing open, the evolution the space has gone through
becomes evident.
The building was largely renovated and made livable before Jason moved in, and he's been gradually tweaking it over the seven years he's been there. He uses the open main floor, where the fire engines used to be parked, primarily as a painting studio and a guest room, subdividing the space with curtains. It's so spacious, in fact, that Evans has used it to host charity functions. A drain in the middle of the concrete floor allows the area to be conveniently hosed down before company comes.
The second floor has a living room at one end, which features the original walls, left
untouched and gracefully decaying. On the other end is the master bedroom, complete with a modern concrete bathroom. In the middle is a huge open kitchen, and tucked in and around it all are vestiges of the building's history: vintage copper fire extinguishers, a faded helmet, battered equipment lockers, and of course, a functional fire pole.
Tim Tucker
A former Benton Park gas station was the perfect fit for this homeowner—and the
ultimate place to store his "stuff."
Tim Tucker's home was built at the turn of the century and did time as a buggy shop and later as a series of garages and filling stations before he bought it seven years ago. Originally, he wasn't looking for a project, just a place to hang his hat. "But I looked at about 100 houses, and they just weren't 'me,'" Tim says. What he wanted was a lof-ttype space that was close to the ground. The old station was a perfect fit, but it turned out to be quite a project. The space needed everything from plumbing to electric, plus tons of cleanup from years of exhaust soot and mechanical grime, and it took about a year and a half before it was livable. Luckily, Tucker wasn't interested in a pristine space.
"You can try to make things 'perfect,'" Tim says. "Or work with the palette you have." He's taken pains to maintain imperfect hints of the building's history, like keeping the exposed brick, wood joists and concrete floors, complete with the hole where the hydraulic lift once was. Tim describes his home as "a big brick tent," with 16-foot ceilings and 12-foot doorways. It's proved the ideal place for his ever-growing collection of stuff, from old bicycles to vintage stained-glass windows to government surplus water barrels. The self-professed collector says he may look to minimize in the near future, maybe get out of the garage and into one of the cozy Victorian bungalows that dot the neighborhood. But then, where would the seven-foot-tall gargoyle sculpture go?

In 1923, as an office boy at the Baltimore Sun newspaper, A. Aubrey Bodine (1906-1970) walked into the office of the editor of the Sunday section, and handed him some photographs he had taken. They were immediately published, and his career as a photojournalist began. Sounds easy, no? Well, in a way it was. As a newspaperman, and as an...

Dem COLLUDES With Russians To Bring Down Trump, Gets Punked
by: Donny Bomenabori
Rep. Adam Schiff, (D-Calif) got punked, and at the same time, is exposed for a gross hypocrisy. The premise of the Democrats is that President Trump colluded with the Russians to impact the 2016 election. Schiff was caught red-handed doing the same with Russian pranksters who also made calls to Secretary of State Niki Haley and Elton John, to allegedly get naked pictures of the President in a leak directly from Vladimir Putin.
Briefly, the pranksters spun an elaborate tale about the President sleeping with a Russian beauty queen who allegedly procured compromising photos, known to Russians as "kompromat", that was being released at the behest of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The prankster on the call represented himself as Andriy Parubiy, the chairman of the Ukrainian Parliament. Schiff was all too happy to collude with Ukrainians and Putin himself to bring down President, offering to arrange an intercept of the "evidence" at the Ukrainian Embassy.
The pranksters also alleged that Michael Flynn, former National Security Adviser to Trump, met with Russian contacts in a Brooklyn Cafe with a password from an obscure Russian movie, "Weather Is Good on Deribasovskaya, It Rains Again on Brighton Beach". In the video above, Schiff swallowed it whole and take notes, even offering to send his staff to record details. For a congressman that seems so alarmed at Russians interfering with our democracy, he seems all too willing to use Russian sourced intelligence to damage his opposition; we are waiting for Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) to call for Schiff's removal from office.

We are already 4 days into the new year!!! Wow, it's going to be one of those years I can tell.
So where have I been? Around..... My eating plan has not been going as I planned. Too many days I've had beer with lunch which resulted in a sweet tooth that I had no control over. I ate an entire package of creme wafers the other day. The whole package. In about 4 hours. The worst part was I was not even close to being full. I could have eaten more but I ran out. What the heck is up with that??? So yeah, things are not going well.
Next week is back to school and I am completely not ready. This week though I'm going to get up earlier and earlier (I've been sleeping until 7) and there will be no naps during the day. This will naturally lead to an earlier bed time and hopefully by Monday I'm back on schedule again. I'm also writing down everything I eat. I'm not restricting my eating just writing it down. And I'm drinking tons of water. Tons and tons.... And running. I'm running everyday. That's all. Just trying to get life back in balance.

Contact Your Senators Now -- Urge them to Conduct a Fair and Swift Confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh for the US Supreme Court!
July 10, 2018
Dear Friends,
This is the moment we have been preparing for!
President Trump has announced his second nomination to the US Supreme Court – and it is a great choice!
And before I tell you about the action I need you to take, please make plans to join me tonight live on Facebook.com/FatherFrankPavone at 9pm ET for extended commentary and prayer on the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court!
Judge Brett Kavanaugh is highly qualified, and is exactly the type of judge we need. He even ruled in favor of Priests for Life, me, and my associates Alveda King and Janet Morana in our religious liberty case, Priests for Life vs. HHS, a few years ago!
But we must make sure the US Senate does its job swiftly and fairly to confirm the President's nominee.
That is why I need you to
make two phone calls –
one to each of your US Senators.
I will give you the phone number and message to convey later in this alert, but let me give you more background first.
When he ran for office, President Trump promised to nominate pro-life judges to the Supreme Court and other federal courts. He promised it in his speeches, and in a letter he sent to me and other pro-life leaders.
And the President has kept his promise!
He has already put numerous judges on the federal courts, including Justice Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court.
But now, his nomination of Judge Kavanaugh has launched an even more intense battle. Why?
Because Justice Anthony Kennedy was a swing vote on a pretty evenly divided court.
Justices Ginsburg, Kagan, Sotomayor and Breyer tend to vote liberal; Justices Thomas, Roberts, Alito and Gorsuch tend to vote conservative.
Kennedy has been unpredictable. He voted to keep Roe vs. Wade in place in a 5-4 decision in 1992; he voted to protect babies from partial birth abortion in 2007; he voted against commonsense regulations on abortion clinics in 2016; he voted in favor of protecting pro-life pregnancy centers just last week.
Back and forth, back and forth.
Now, we have a chance to replace him with a more reliably conservative, pro-life vote on the Court.
This means, at least, that many future cases that would have been 5-4 against our causes will be 5-4 in favor of our causes!
Will one of those decisions be the reversal of Roe vs. Wade?
The answer is that we simply do not know. But we know that this new Justice moves the Court closer to being able to do that.
And it moves the Court closer to what the Founders intended it to be – and this is critically important.
A judge is supposed to make his or her decisions based on the meaning of the law being examined, in the light of the original, textual meaning of the Constitution.
The judge is not supposed to be a politician, advocating for or against a particular policy. The judge is not supposed to write the law. The judge is not supposed to invent rights out of thin air – such as the right to kill one's child by abortion!
Judge Kavanaugh is precisely the kind of judge who reveres the Constitution, rather than re-writing it, and the 300 court decisions he has authored demonstrate that!
But Senate Democrats have already vowed that they will do everything in their power to keep any nominee of President Trump from even being considered for the Supreme Court. They are obstructionists. They delay. They put partisanship ahead of the business of America.
And mark my words: they will attack Judge Kavanaugh and his decisions in every way they can. They will lie. They will engage in character assassination. They will distort the nominee's record and words. They will look for any dirt they can dig up from the nominee's past and throw it out into the public arena.
Just look back at the confirmation hearings of Justice Clarence Thomas to see what I mean.
So now is the time to put our Senators on warning:
The Constitution does not ask Senators to conduct smear campaigns.
Rather, it requires that Senators look objectively at the qualifications of the nominee for serving on the court, and then "advise and consent" to the President's appointment.
That means we need to urge our Senators to do everything in their power to conduct a swift and fair confirmation process for Judge Kavanaugh without any obstruction or smear tactics.
This confirmation battle will determine how the Supreme Court rules on abortion, religious liberty, and other vital matters for decades to come. There's no way to overstate its importance.
Please call your Senators and ask them to conduct a fair and swift confirmation process for Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
We must use every chance we get to advance the cause of life! Please call now!
Please click here for further instructions on how to take action to support this measure.
Fr. Frank Pavone
National Director, Priests for Life
P.S. This is the type of action that Priests for Life can take nationwide as we mobilize our movement. To help make it possible for Priests for Life to conduct campaigns such as this one, please click here and be as generous as you can.

Jennifer Freiburg, LCPC
Counseling Approach
Jennifer provides individual and family counseling to children, teens, and adults. During her career, she has assisted families with a variety of concerns, such as domestic violence, sexual assault/abuse, depression, anger management, anxiety, family conflict, and gender identity concerns. Jennifer believes that much of the time a person knows what is needed to improve their situation; they simply need some additional ideas to make this happen or a different perspective to spark the known changes. Jennifer sees her role as working with individuals to figure out how to make a situation better by using an individual's strengths. Jennifer enjoys working with all types of people and strives to be dynamic to address each situation.
Jennifer believes it is important for the client and therapist to work together to create change. She uses a variety of therapeutic techniques, including play and art for children and enjoys tailoring these techniques to meet the needs of each client.
Jennifer earned her Bachelor's degree in psychology at Western Illinois University. While attending WIU, she completed an internship at a community mental health center and worked on the student hotline, providing crisis intervention over the phone. Jennifer also volunteered for the local domestic violence/sexual assault hotline and assisted with a therapy group for children from violent homes. After graduating from Western, she completed a summer internship with a sexual assault crisis program, where she provided counseling to survivors of sexual assault and group therapy to homeless women. Jennifer attended Roosevelt University in Chicago and obtained a master's in clinical psychology. During this time, she worked in a group home for chronically mentally ill adults and completed an internship that involved providing individual therapy, group therapy, and crisis intervention to incarcerated male adolescents.
Jennifer continued her professional career as a child and adolescent therapist in a community mental health center in East St. Louis where her primary clients were children and teens in foster care. In this capacity, she provided counseling to these children and their foster families, as well as assessed them during times of crisis. Next, she worked at an agency as a family therapist, providing in-home counseling to adolescents and their families. For many of these families, the teens were running away or being locked out of the home by their parents. The focus of counseling was to reunify the families. Most recently, Jennifer provided in-home counseling to families living in the city of St. Louis, working primarily with women and their children. Throughout her career, Jennifer has been fortunate to work with a variety of concerns, such as family conflict, sexual assault or abuse, domestic violence, depression, substance use, anger management, delinquency, teen pregnancy, homelessness, and chronic mental illness.

Alternative Parenting BooksBy Helen Longstreth, 5th October 2016
Features, Shop Funny, honest and definitely different - our pick of the best alternative parenting books
Skin Food
You know when you discover a product for the first time and wonder how you ever lived without it? This is 'Skin Food', a time-tested super-rich lotion which has been working its magic on rough skin since 1926. We now carry a handy 30ml tube in our bag at all times, to use on our kids' hands when they get dry from running around in the cold, as well as our own problem areas (of which there are a few). The smell alone, derived from a combination of organic sunflower seed oil, extracts of wild pansy, chamomile, calendula and revitalising rosemary extract, is almost good enough to eat. (Though we wouldn't recommend that.)
£9.95 for 75ml; weleda.co.uk
Renewing Rose Hydrating Body Gel
If the word 'gel' makes you think of adolescent hair-dos, think again. This incredibly light, non-tacky and seriously hydrating offering from Aromatherapy Associates combines rose, geranium, evening primrose and jojoba, and the result is a beautifully fragrant, incredibly revitalising product which feels like its bringing new life to tired skin. The range also includes a really lovely body oil, for when you want something a bit richer (or, indeed, a massage).
£31 for 200ml; aromatherapyassociates.com
Baby Bee Buttermilk Lotion
Officially for use on baby skin, this lotion from Burt's Bees is too good not to use ourselves, too. Made from 98.8 per cent natural ingredients it contains buttermilk (as the name suggests), aloe vera and sunflower oil, as well as beeswax and coconut oil – with a touch of sweet orange which gives it the distinctly delicious fragrance. Perfect for use after shaving your legs (if you ever get round to it).
£5.99 for 170ml; johnlewis.com
Baume Corps Oil Therapy
Enriched with apricot oil, this incredibly soft and light body treatment from French luxury skincare brand Biotherm absorbs really well and is perfect for all-over use. The snag is that in Britain, Biotherm products are now exclusively sold at airports – however, you can pick it up online (link below).
£17.95 for 400ml; allbeauty.com
Super Moisturising Body Oil
Containing no parabens, sulphates, petroleum or other nasties, this luscious body oil from British family company 'Balance Me' is great during and after pregnancy. Helping to combat stretch marks and dryness, restoring elasticity and strength, this remarkably lighter oil combines the revitalising and healing properties of neroli with rejuvenating rosehip, jojoba, wheat germ, borage and calendula.
£24 for 200ml; balanceme.co.uk

Panda: Vincent Ko, Luke Lagera and Michael Mills
How an eco-friendly fashion start-up landed on top retailers' shelves in six months.
It may sound like a ploy to get shoppers in the door, but the power of 'green' and eco-conscious consumers can't be denied. So Georgetown University buddies Vincent Ko, Luke Lagera and Michael Mills thought:
Why not? And in the fall of 2011, the now 24-year-olds started up Panda, a Washington DC-based sunglasses maker that uses sustainably-harvested bamboo for its frames. To complete the virtuous cycle, they're devoting a portion of their profits towards funding eye exams and cataract surgery to aid people in the developing world.
Recognising social change
Since launching, the fledgling fashion company founders have managed to land their frames in popular retail outlets across the US. But what separates Panda from the herd of 'eco-friendly' products on the market? And what can like-minded start-ups learn from a company that grew from fashion obscurity to prominence in just six months?
"We don't hide the fact that TOMS Shoes was a huge inspiration. We figured if we could make a fraction of the impact that Blake Mycoskie made with a different item, we'd be doing a good job," says Vincent Ko. "I want Panda to also be a recognisable brand for social change, so when someone sees Panda, they know that for everything that is purchased through the company, an individual in need or a charitable organisation will benefit."
Getting funded
Panda's founders used the crowd-funding website Kickstarter.com to get their idea off the ground. "Kickstarter not only allowed us to get the funds to start production, but also gave us a lot of publicity," says Ko. "We got many of our initial retailers and partners through Kickstarter, which completely levels the playing field for young entrepreneurs.
"Unfortunately, there's starting to be a commodification of Kickstarter. You see established companies using it as just another marketing tool at the expense of smaller, in-development ideas. But I would still recommend it because it does help with fundraising and publicity."
Stay trendy, but authentic
Ko has a word of advice for product start-ups leveraging off social awareness: Consumers aren't stupid. "They know when something's authentic. And if you're going to try to start up a social venture, you have to do it end-to-end – with everything from messaging to packaging. Of course, this takes time.
There's no way that a six-month-old sunglasses start-up is going to be perfect on day one. So we send a regular newsletter out to all of our customers, updating them on the steps we're taking to improve."
Start-up advice
Ko has this advice to offer fellow social start-ups: Don't wait. There is no better time than in your early 20s or mid-20s to start a business because at worst you'll just end up where you started – having learnt from the experience, of course. Ultimately, though, proceed thoughtfully and systematically. It's really important to grow responsibly and not overstretch.

The Female Face of Rural Agriculture
Women across the world bear almost all the responsibility for meeting the basic needs of their family yet, because of social and cultural influence, are systematically denied the resources, information and freedom of action they need to fulfil this responsibility.
As cornerstones of their community, research has consistently shown that empowering and investing in rural women significantly increases productivity, reduces hunger and malnutrition, and improves the infrastructure and living standards in rural communities.
Ripple effect
Helping women generate income through productive assets.
One of the major challenges facing women in agriculture is their lack of access to skills development, improved seeds, fertilisers and equipment. This means their yield is on average 10% to 20% less than that of a male farmer.
As a consequence, rural women typically work longer hours than men, placing pressure on their child-caring and domestic responsibilities.
To help alleviate this problem, Tanzanian social entrepreneur Victoria Kisyombe founded micro-leasing business, Sero Lease and Finance (SELFINA). Pioneered in 2002, the business provides exclusively to women entrepreneurs, has issued credit worth $22 million dollars, has trained 46 000 women in business management skills, and has helped 23 000 women out of poverty.
It's expected to positively impact 440 000 lives by 2014. Best of all, 100% of its revenue is earned.
How it works
Unlike micro-financing, which provides credit for small business owners to make short-term purchases like raw materials, micro-leasing means the lessee doesn't need to use scarce working capital to buy equipment upfront.
Rather, women become owners of leased equipment and use it as collateral for further borrowing. SELFINA leases equipment such as small tractors, water pumps, irrigation equipment, milling machines, oil extraction machines, bicycles and motorbikes, livestock and poultry.

Throwing a rope
This Brazilian company is tackling education, environment, microfinance, rural development and trade all in one by making rope. And it's making millions of dollars a year.
Run by Ismael Ferreira, APAEB is a Brazilian co-operative of smallholding sisal farmers – sisal is used to make rope, rugs and brushes.
Founded in the '80s to remove intermediaries and assist farmers to collectively market their sisal crop, it has since gained export rights, forged links with foreign markets, and built processing plants and a factory to export millions of dollars' worth of quality, finished products.
A social business at its core, it has an annual budget of $7,5 million (2010) and 96% of its revenue is earned.
Impressive on its own, but this business has directly benefited over 12 000 people in an area where most farmers have 11 hectares or less of dry, infertile soil with limited water resources.
How it works
As an exporter, APAEB links international markets with small agricultural producers by developing lasting relationships, encouraging mutual respect, and producing quality workmanship.
It trains and organises local farmers to manage the growing and manufacturing processes, and has increased financing from banks and donor agencies.
In 1997, it constructed a multimillion dollar carpet factory which increased the co-op's revenue by 400% and raised the industry price of raw sisal. The operation employs over 800 people and has brought a powerful multiplier effect to a region where about
500 000 people derive their livelihood from sisal.

The Business of Creating Jobs
South Africa has a massive unemployment problem.
Presently 25,2% of potential employees are seeking work, and it grows to 36,7% if you include those who've given up completely. Between 2003 and 2010, demonstrations by poor, unemployed youth increased eight-fold, to 111 per annum. It's reaching crisis point for the economy and individuals, but these businesses offer a guiding light. By Tracy-Lee Nicol
Find a need, then train workers
India has a rapidly growing economy and a large youthful population. But like South Africa, the country is plagued by a significant shortage of skilled labour, widening the gap between rich and poor and hamstringing economic growth.
Social entrepreneur Rajendra Joshi, founder of for-profit Empower Pragati Vocational & Staffing (EPVS), is changing this by providing disadvantaged youths with livelihood skills development and meeting demand for quality and reliable employees in the private sector. Market mapping by EPVS determines which skills are needed in the market, then develops a curriculum for training youth conducted both in-house and with industry specific bodies.
Placement executives then ensure each trainee is provided with placement opportunities with participating organisations in retail, hospitality, logistics, finance, supply chain and healthcare sectors. EPVS has over 22 training centres across India that have directly benefitted more than 2 500 youth. It has an annual budget of $750 000 and has 100% earned revenue.

Hybrid model
Financing self-employment
One way to improve unemployment is to create businesses and encourage self-employment. In 1987, Nigerian entrepreneur Godwin Ehigiamusoe created micro-finance Life Above Poverty Organisation (LAPO) to empower Nigeria's poor and vulnerable people.
As part of its for-profit microfinance, LAPO offers loans, savings products, and credit-for-shares investments to micro- and medium-scale enterprises such as craftwork, food processing, merchandising, fabrication and farming operations.
As part of the non-profit, LAPO then engages with poor and vulnerable communities by providing social and health empowerment programmes addressing esteem, nutrition, discrimination, and social inequalities, as well as providing training, technical assistance and HR development to other micro-finance institutions, NGOs and banks.
Over 486 000 individuals have benefitted from LAPO which has 100% earned revenue and an annual budget of $285 million (2011).

Goodnight, sweet PC
So, last night my plan was to clean up my room a bit, work on some freelance research, read and go to bed. I spent the first 45 minutes of that time trying to get my computer to work. Once the bios stopped coming up and I smelled something burning I quit. I think the mother board may be literally fried. No big deal, really. It was an inherited computer and I've been using it for several years now. Time for a new one anyway. Wendell's computer is in the front room so I can use that one when I need to checks my emails.
I did clean my room up, did do some reading, didn't work on any of the research. Ah well, I don't have much left to do anyway. I think. I'm new at this freelance stuff. But I'm enjoying it. Sifting through the vertical files and the Charlotte Observer archives at the Main Library is fun. Hands on history.

PITTSBURGH--PPG (NYSE:PPG) today announced the completion of a COLORFUL COMMUNITIES™ project in Soborg, Denmark, that helped to revitalize and add shelter and seating to the parkour area of the City's Arena, an outdoor activity space adjacent to the Hoje Gladsaxe housing project. The Colorful Communities program provides PPG employees and products along with financial contributions to bring color and vitality to communities where our company operates around the world. The program increases PPG's commitment to invest in communities by adding $10 million to support efforts made during a 10-year period.
The project brought together more than 30 volunteers who are employees at PPG's nearby architectural coatings, automotive refinish, and protective and marine coatings operations in Soborg to spend two days revitalizing the parkour area. PPG provided more than $18,500 for the project, as well as about 150 liters of DYRUP® Façade Extra paint products in 10 colors.
Young residents who use the City's Arena (Byens Arena) – an outdoor area that encourages movement, activity and play, mostly for residents of the adjacent 2,500-unit Hoje Gladsaxe housing project – expressed a desire for development and beautification of the parkour area. There was a need to make the area more welcoming in the hope of inviting more use. Large concrete features were installed to provide shelter and accommodation for visitors, and artist Anders Benmouyal facilitated a workshop where PPG employees and Hoje Gladsaxe residents came together and decorated the new concrete features.
"From the beginning, we were sure that revitalizing an area of Hoje Gladsaxe was right for this project – the residents are so close to our site, they are actually our neighbors," said Peter Soerensen, PPG general manager, architectural coatings, Denmark. "We hope this is the beginning of close cooperation on more community initiatives. Already we are planning an educational day at our PPG site for local school students."
The Colorful Communities program is PPG's signature initiative for community engagement efforts, with the aim to protect and beautify the neighborhoods where PPG operates around the world. Together with community partners and PPG employees who volunteer, the program supports projects that transform community assets using donated PPG products. In 2015, PPG completed 11 Colorful Communities projects, and it expects to complete about 30 more this year.
PPG and the PPG Foundation aim to bring color and brightness to PPG communities around the world. We donated more than $7.8 million in 2015 to hundreds of community organizations across 20 countries. By investing in educational opportunities, we help grow today's skilled workforce and develop tomorrow's innovators in industries related to coatings and specialty materials. Plus, we empower PPG employees to make an impact for causes that are important to them by supporting their volunteer efforts and charitable giving. Learn more at www.ppgcommunities.com and follow @PPG_Communities on Twitter.
At PPG (NYSE:PPG), we work every day to develop and deliver the paints, coatings and materials that our customers have trusted for more than 130 years. Through dedication and creativity, we solve our customers' biggest challenges, collaborating closely to find the right path forward. With headquarters in Pittsburgh, we operate and innovate in more than 70 countries and reported net sales of $15.3 billion in 2015.

Chelsea star Alvaro Morata makes transfer revelation while on Spain international duty
CHELSEA striker Alvaro Morata has confirmed he considered QUITTING the club this summer after failing to make Spain's World Cup squad.
Chelsea news: Alvaro Morata admits he considered leaving the Blues this summer
Chelsea paid a massive £60m for Morata in 2017 to prise him out of Real Madrid.
Then-manager Antonio Conte had hoped to replicate the form Morata showed when the pair were at Juventus together.
But the Spaniard proved a flop in his first season and by the end of the campaign was surged by Olivier Giroud - a January bargain buy from Arsenal - in the starting XI.
Morata missed out on Spain selection from the World Cup due to his lacklustre performances for Chelsea.
I considered returning to Spain or Italy
And he confirmed in an interview with AS that he considered moving back to La Liga or Serie A in the summer.
"Yes, of course I considered returning to Spain or Italy," he admitted.
"But one cannot always escape reality.
"I left here (Spain) to be at the World Cup and I did not go."
Morata cost Chelsea £60m 12 months ago and was seen as the ideal replacement for Diego Costa, who forced through a move to Atletico Madrid after a rift with Conte.
Maurizio Sarri is now in charge of the Blues and Morata is already off the mark for the new season, scoring in the 3-2 win over Arsenal last month.
The striker, 25, has already endured a varied career - having joined Juve from Real Madrid in 2014, only to then be bought back two years later.
He struggled for game time at the Bernabeu during the 2016/17 campaign, which led to his transfer to Chelsea in the hope of securing a World Cup spot for this summer in Russia.
Asked by AS if he would consider joining Real for a third spell, Morata said: "There has never been a possibility.
"I think they are all things that have not existed.
"Of course, it was my worst moment, when you start playing football and watching the World Cups on TV, it's your biggest dream."
Asked if he regretted how his club career has panned out, the striker replied: "I do not think so, but I would not change anything either.
"The important thing is that I've been very happy everywhere I've been.
"Last year I started well but in the end it was a disaster, I did not even know where I was when I went out to play."
Morata has been called up by new Spain manager Luis Enrique for matches against England and Croatia this month.
Enrique is the long-term replacement for Julen Lopetegui, who was sacked by Spain on the eve of the World Cup after he accepted a job offer at Real Madrid.
Discussing Lopetegui, Morata said: "I do not hold a grudge against Lopetegui.
"It was his opinion and I did not have my best season, I wish him the best and more now that he is at Real Madrid.
"I like (Enrique). At the moment as a coach we have had two training sessions, he asks for a lot of intensity, a lot of concentration.
"Which is why we have spoken with him, he seems to me a very sincere person who wants to win."

After the bidding process for the EHF EURO events in 2018 and 2020 opened in early June, seven nations have expressed their interest in hosting the European Championships by the end of the official deadline on 4 September 2013.
Norway have expressed their interest for all four EHF EURO events in question, the Men's and the Women's EHF EURO in 2018 as well as for both events in 2020. Norway were hosts of the 2008 Men's EHF EURO and the co-hosts together with Denmark of the 2010 Women's EHF EURO.
Sweden, hosts of the men's event in 2002 and the women's event in 2006, showed interested in hosting the 2018 Men's EHF EURO and the 2020 Men's EHF EURO.
After being awarded the 2014 Women's EHF EURO as co-hosts together with Hungary, Croatia would also like to present themselves as hosts of the 2018 Men's final tournament.
France and Ukraine have entered the race for the 2018 Women's EHF EURO – both countries have never staged the EHF's flagship event before.
Austria, after hosting the men's event in 2010, have expressed their interest for the 2020 Men's EHF EURO, and Denmark, hosts of the upcoming 2014 Men's EHF EURO in January, have expressed their interest for the 2020 Women's EHF EURO.*
The overview of all bidding nations reads as follows:
Men's EHF EURO 2018: Croatia, Norway, Sweden
Women's EHF EURO 2018: France, Norway, Ukraine
Men's EHF EURO 2020: Austria, Norway, Sweden
Women's EHF EURO 2020: Norway, Denmark*
"We are delighted by the amount of expressions of interest we received from our member federations," said EHF President Jean Brihault.
"All nations that are showing an interest have a strong handball background. They have huge experience in hosting major sporting events and I am confident all of them would be the perfect hosts for the EHF's flagship national team event."
Expressing an interest was the first step in the bidding process. Formal applications have to be handed to the EHF by 10 December 2013. The EHF Executive Committee will then confirm all applicants at its meeting on 13/14 December 2013.
A final decision on the hosts will be made by the Ordinary EHF Congress set to take place in Dublin, Ireland on 19/20 September 2014.
*This paragraph has been corrected. Previously it had been reported that Denmark had expressed their interest in hosting the 2020 Men's EHF EURO. Instead Denmark would like to host the 2020 Women's EHF EURO [12 September 2013, 12:10 hrs]

Migrants in Salakovac
By: Sead OMERAGIC
When Slobodan Ujic, the Director of the Service for Foreigners Affairs says: 'We have to close the border with our eastern neighbors – Serbia and Montenegro', we can't help but wonder if it was a slip of the tongue or he slipped and revealed too much?
The question is if our security services are doing what they are responsible for. How come the borders of BiH have not been closed until now, and now they ought to be shut? According to Ujic, the migrants entered BiH via its official border crossings. Most of the migrants claim to have entered at the official border crossing and what is more they were directed to Sarajevo by the Border Police. The Sarajevo Police has their affidavits.
Having said that, most of the migrants admit staying in Serbia for several months where they were duly registered. Now it looks like that our 'eastern neighbors' are expelling registered migrants. Meanwhile, along the western BH border, the Croatian police is brutally confronting migrants, in some cases using force, robbing them and pushing them back to BiH. It is obvious that almost all the refugees with their tragic destinies are currently in the parts of BiH where Bosniak majority lives. Mostly in Sarajevo and Bihac. It is interesting that even Europe shut its borders to these wretched people for some time.
Half a year ago, before the massive wave of migrants, politicians and analysts from Serbia and Croatia spoke of migrants in the context of alleged terrorist threat. In the same context, it was assumed that the migrants are Muslims and that religious belief is linked to terrorism. Milorad Dodik and Dragan Covic, a popular duo from BiH didn't waste any time saying they didn't want the refugees. Dodik rejected the EU aid offered for migrant centers: 'We don't want them because they are the people of the same faith.' Therefore, he jumped to conclusion that all migrants are Muslim. Recent study by 'Pew Research Center' revealed that almost half of the migrants are not Muslim; in this migrant group, 47% of people are mainly Christians fleeing their countries of origin in search of economic and other security offered by Europe.
Well-coordinated statements by Dodik and Covic revealed numerous similarities with the official stance of Belgrade and Zagreb towards this migrant wave that has been forced into (and upon) BiH.
The Council of Ministers BiH, as the state government, has not yet been able to hold a meeting about migrants. Denis Zvizdic as the state prime minister does not speak much about this horrific human tragedy. Following his withdrawal from the presidential race, he does not seem interested in his job of prime minister. BH party leaders also avoid debating this issue, even though they have started their pre-election campaigns offering their opinion on pretty much everything and anything.
Meanwhile, the migrants, some with very small children, continue to strive in inhumane conditions.
