Recurring billing is a payment model that allows companies to invoice their customers based on an agenda that the company specifies be it once a month, once every quarter, etc.
The most common forms of recurring billing include subscriptions, membership dues, and payments that are made under an installment plan. Any good/service that a customer purchases frequently and regularly might be a good candidate for recurring billing.
A subscriber provides their credit card information for making payments of goods or services on a periodic basis. The payment will be then withdrawn by the vendor on a regular basis until the subscription expired or are canceled.
Recurring billing actually provides a benefit and convenience to a subscriber who doesn't have to worry about this monthly bill or even risk missing out on the product delivery or service.

Gorillaz ––> Humanz
I need to start off this article by saying: if you haven't listened to the new album Humanz by Gorillaz yet, please go do it. You will be glad that you did. Also listen to new Kendrick.
Did you listen to it before you passed that image? If not, reconsider, but I won't stop you from reading on because this is just writing, you can do whatever you want. Now to the matter at hand: a look at what the album says. In essence, Humanz takes at its core a stance that is forwardly retrospective, taking aim at where we've gotten and how we've gotten here – a reactionary stance to the very different world 2017 is from no more than two years ago. All this coming from a group that is known for its innovative status – Gorillaz being an entirely virtual band that exists through internet media.
For Gorillaz, the goal from the start was to write an album intended for a post-apocalyptic world, one defined by having to look back at the events culminating in such a status. In the words of Damon Albarn, the producer behind the project, "The first Gorillaz album for six years was recorded as a response to the 'world going [expletive] nuts'".
And on top of all of that, it. goes. in. Saturnz Barz? Andromeda? Strobelite? The album delivers again and again on providing songs that catch the ear, as well as more tonal, distorted songs that serve as a relief for this bubble-pop sound.
In case you can't tell – I'm a fan. I couldn't not recommend it – so there you go, go listen.

I first learned about genetic counseling in 8th grade while growing up in Alaska. I loved the idea of learning about genetics, educating patients and also being an advocate. As a genetic counselor, I get to be a teacher, but I also get to learn from my patient's about their experiences and perspectives. I went to college in Oregon, attended graduate school in Boston, Massachusetts, then quickly returned to the Pacific Northwest which has been my permanent home since 2010.
Here at Kaiser Permanente, we have one large Genetics department, which allows me to utilize my training for all patient types. I work in the prenatal setting, with children, counsel about cancer, and everything in between. It is wonderful to have the opportunity to continue to use all of my training and stay sharp in all areas of Genetics.
In my spare time I enjoy practicing Bikram yoga, hiking with my husband and yellow Labrador in the summertime, and skiing in the wintertime. We love to spend time with our family and friends while cooking, trying new restaurants, and traveling whenever we get the chance.

Whence came the name Rampant Mandolin?
I began playing traditional Celtic music in 1989 and, within about a year, after acquiring my mandola, developed the idea of a Celtic mandolin consort consisting of mandolin, mandola, and octave mandolin, similar to the orchestral string quartet but playing Celtic music. Many modern Celtic bands use bigger mandolins, variously called cittern, bouzouki, or octave mandolin, and a few use mandolins, but rarely do those instruments stand out front as the featured instruments. Most often they are nearly lost in the mix, drowned out by fiddle, whistle, flute, and pipes, which are louder and have more sustain, or they play a supporting role, providing chordal or arpeggio accompaniment.
Wanting to bring the mandolin to the fore in Celtic music, I took my music name from the Scottish royal standard, the Rampant Lion, rampant being a heraldric term referring to an animal standing on one hind leg with one foreleg raised above the other and the head in profile. It's an aggressive pose, and the name Rampant Mandolin implies that I mean to make the mandolin a strong voice in my music, standing out front, not supporting other instruments or lost in the mix. The word mandolin even contains the word lion — you can anagram "mandolin" to "damn lion."

Oversized Artwork in Coral Office Nook
In large rooms, pay close attention to the shape, size and scale of any featured artwork. When small subjects are placed across a generously sized room, they lose their impact and appear more as visual clutter than a focal point. Here, in the multipurpose workspace located off the kitchen, an oversized fiberglass Trojan horse grounds the space and creates a focal point from across the great room.

Traditional wainscoting on this home office wall acts as a neutral backdrop while pink and accents provide a pop of color in this vibrant home office

A Pennsylvania father who gave his children names associated with the Nazi party has successful changed his name to Hitler.
Isidore Heath Hitler, formerly known as Isidore Heath Campbell, applied to have his name legally changed on 14 February and it took effect on 8 May. The date coincides with VE day, the day WW2 ended in Europe after Germany surrendered.
"It's great. My driver's license is changed over, my insurance, my registration, all that I needed is changed over," Hitler told MyCentralJersey. "I'm the new Hitler."
The father added also pointed out his initial are now I.H.H, which he says stands for 'I heil Hitler'.
The so-called 'Nazi Dad' first gained attention in 2008 after a shop in New Jersey refused to decorate a cake with 'Adolf'. Since then, he has also appeared in the media because of the names he gives to his children.
In 2013, he turned up to a custody hearing in full Nazi uniform after his child Heinrich Hons Campbell was removed from his custody shortly after he was born in 2011.
His other children, Adolf Hitler Campbell JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honzlynn Jeannie Campbell, were previously taken away from his care because of alleged violence in his home.
Speaking in 2013, Hitler, who was Campbell back then, said that he never physically hurt his children and should be allowed to raise them.
He told NBC10: "I've never abused my children. I only name my children. "What they're [judges] saying is that because of my beliefs, [because] I'm a Nazi, us people don't have any constitutional rights to fight for our children."
Discussing his name change to MyCentralJersey, Hitler added: "I feel good about it. Now all I need is my kids back."

You will then attain the status of a guest auditor at one of the universities. The choice of the university depends on your respective focus and interests – we will look for a suitable perspective together.
Moreover, we will team you with one of our students who will support you with organisational matters, which might also offer you the chance of establishing contacts.
Prerequisites for attending: At least former studies in a degree programme and sufficient language proficiency in English or German. Deadline to apply for winter semester: September 30. Courses will be held from October until February.

January Blues
January Blues, that's what everyone seems to be talking about for the last few weeks. It's hard to get back into work mode after the Christmas period, and whether you're off for a few short days or the very long 2 weeks and 3 days that the children had off from school, it's still the holiday season. But we're nearly there, January is coming to a close and we're coming into February and shortly Spring season.
In the meantime, to help take away the last of the January Blues, I've put in a little inspiration for your garden. No matter what month you visit us here in Rockbarton Garden Centre, we always have colour.
Hamamelis or Witchhazel as it's more commonly known currently in stock with yellow catkins. They like a sunny spot in the garden and while they are slow growing they really do stand out during the winter months.
Mahonia's, are large growing shrubs, and fit very well in the shady spot of the garden. They have large yellow flowers during the winter months, and can start flowering from November right through until March.
Sarcococca is an amazingly scented shrub. As soon as you walk past it the scent just hits you.It can also be called Sweet Box or Christmas Box. It is an evergreen shrub with white flowers during the winter months followed by black berries.
There are flower bulbs just coming into flower here in the garden, including snowdrops and the first of the yellow crocus buds are shining through. I have to say, this time of year, I love the colour yellow, it is like a little sunshine through all the January Blues!

Adam Murray says he will strike while the iron's hot - and get the majority of his summer transfer dealings wrapped up long before pre-season begins.
The Boston United manager has close-season targets in mind and wants to get their signatures on contracts before rival clubs can begin a bidding war.
Speaking at last night's Fans' Forum, he also gave supporters an insight into his workings as manager, including his thoughts on friendly matches, his long-term plan and non-league officiating.
Here are some of the highlights...
"Pre-season starts on June 24 and I'll have 99.9% of my players in on that first day.
"Have I got the retained list in my head? Yeah. The majority of it.
"But we've got six points to play for yet and we want to finish on a high.
"Recruitment isn't tough.
"We're surrounded by good areas to get players from.
"We've moved training from Sleaford over towards the M1, which makes it a lot easier for players to get to.
"In terms of recruitment in general, one player we had this season openly admitted he signed for Boston and didn't know where it was.
"When he got to his first training session his looked at his petrol bill, but hey."
"You can get carried away with pre-season.
"You can get a big club in, but you don't touch the ball for 90 minutes.
"It's fantastic as it pulls a big crowd in, but in terms of preparing your team for going into battle for nine months, it doesn't do you any good. It just wears you out.
"We're looking at a range of games we feel will give us realistic challenges.
"Good Conference teams that pose questions we'll face in the season.
"It's about making it as tough as possible to find any weaknesses in the team."
"After my first training sessions I rang the chairman and said 'we're in big trouble'.
"It's not a blame on what went on before, sometimes these cycles happen.
"When I first took over the group there was a lot of technically OK players. Not a lot of grit, not a lot of endeavour, not a lot of pride or passion.
"For me that was why the team was where it was.
"I put a structure in place where we became hard to beat and stopped conceding goals.
"On that foundation you can put everything on top of that.
"For us I think the base is in, we're just running out of time to put the rest of the cake together.
"That will be pre-season, in terms of how we want to go about things."
"A lot of work needs to go on in the summer in terms of recruitment in order to bring the team forward, but I don't want us to be a soft touch.
"When I came to Boston the trip did your head in.
"But you use that to your benefit.
"We need to make this a place where people are beaten before they get off the bus."
"I haven't come here to manage in the Conference North.
"I've come from the Football League.
"There's something missing and I truly believe I can find that and get this club back where it should be."
"My first game at FC United of Manchester, about 25 minutes in.
"I'm quite animated on the touchline and I was ranting and raving and I thought 'right, someone's getting it. Someone's having it'.
"I turned round to destroy the fourth official.
"No-one told me at Conference North you don't have a fourth official."

Hi Seagrassers!
Team Seagrass would like to take this opportunity to wish all our volunteers a Happy World Wetlands Day!
This year's theme is "Fish for Tomorrow" in recognition of the importance of wetlands to:
- the needs of the one billion people who rely on fish as their primary source of animal protein;
- the state of the world's fisheries where 75% of commercially important marine and most inland water fish stocks are either currently overfished or being fished at their biological limit, and where the effects of unsustainable aquaculture practices on wetland ecosystems are of growing concern;
- the important role that inland and coastal wetlands play in supporting fish and fisheries at all levels, from large-scale, commercial fisheries to subsistence fishers, and from wild, capture fisheries to farmed fish; the critical role that coastal wetlands play as spawning and nursery areas for many marine species; and the urgent need for effective management of fisheries and the wetland ecosystems that support them;
- the adoption in November 2005 by the Ramsar Convention of a resolution and annexed guidelines on the conservation, production and sustainable use of fisheries which commits the 153 Contracting Parties to the Convention to playing their role in establishing and maintaining sustainable fisheries in wetlands.

So please take a moment to reflect on the importance of wetlands (including seagrass meadows) in our lives and the significance of the body of information you're contributing to in better understanding our marine ecosystem by participating in Team Seagrass.
Have a wonderful day!
PS. From Ria: To commemorate this Day, I've started a compilation of seagrass media articles.
Sadly, there's an article today about how an algae bloom is killing seagrasses in the U.S.

Why a down this week? well just a little disappointing when you see people faced with the reality of our kids battling along in the Townships feel there is no hope for them.

Crazy Head
Recently I had an extra, unexpected half day with my boys. We decided we should spend it at the Mall of America's Nickelodeon Universe. Cooper is tall enough to go on many of the rides by himself, just in case Cooper is too little to enjoy some of them- so we headed out to see how much fun we could have.
I really can't out into words how wonderful that morning was, everyone was happy, content and for the most part, everything went off without a hitch. I took several videos of Cooper riding the rides so we could share them with Kevin, but this one is my favorite.. wait until the end- that's the best part.
A few more highlights...
|First ride- the Ferris Wheel...they weren't quite sure if they liked it....
|Next ride, Carosel- LOVED it
Finally, it was time for lunch and Cooper requested a cheese quesadilla so off to Chipotle we went. Because there were not any open tables in the restaurant and because we have a very large stroller and need lots of space when we eat...we headed back out to the main food court and chose a table near a man sitting by himself. I got Cooper in a seat, locked the stroller and walked about twenty feet away to get a high chair for Parker. I sanitized that thing as best I could, plus the table in front of him and Cooper and got Parker in his seat. I opened Cooper's milk and set up his lunch, next I started tearing up Parker's quesadilla. I grabbed Parker's sippy cup and realized it was still three-quarters full of water. There wasn't really anywhere to dump it so I thought it would be ok to see how he did with the (squeezable) carton of milk. Everyone was settled and I was taking my first bite when... "Mommy, I have to go potty NOW."
Me- "Are you sure Cooper?"
I turn and look at the man sitting behind us, who at this point was already chuckling to himself having overheard the conversation and having seen the production that went into setting up our lunch, "IF someone comes by and tries to clean off our table, would you please stop them?" He said he would and that he had forgotten how much work it is since his daughter was now twelve years old.
We loaded back into our stroller and zoomed to the bathroom where Cooper did his thing. We were back at our table in a flash, re sanitizing our table and hands as we thanked our table guard and continued eating.
About half way through the meal, I offered Parker a drink of his milk, he tried to insist that HE hold the milk and in the process squeezed a huge gush of milk all over his face, making him gasp in surprise as the cold, white, wetness covered his face and shirt. He opened his milky eyes and laughed at me as if he had planned it all along. I wiped him up and attempted to get most of what was on the floor, found his sippy cup, unscrewed the top and chugged the water.
We were finishing up when Cooper said he was still hungry and wanted another quesadilla, I told him I couldn't go get one without taking him and his brother with. He offered to guard the table and watch Parker while I went to get another one, I suggested we get one on our way to the car.
|Prior to the milk incident and right before the potty break
We cleaned up our lunch, went back for another quesadilla and made it to our car all by noon. The pictures just don't do it justice- it was an awesome morning!

Peach Friedman, E-RYT 500, has been studying the system of yoga since 1997, and began teaching yoga + other movement practices from her family's studio in 2001.
Also the author of the internationally acclaimed memoir, Diary of an Exercise Addict, Peach has worked for over a decade helping women recover from eating disorders, both in the clinical setting, as well as through special retreats, workshops, and other offerings.
Peach's classes emphasize skillful alignment. She is known for challenging classes (expect to work hard!) that aim to balance the relationship between stability and mobility, as well as the relationship between the pose and the person. Peach weaves in teachings of the philosophy & science of yoga while guiding students through the postures. She is as passionate in the yoga studio as she is off her mat: Peach's classes are bold and balanced experiences intended to inject you with inspiration to lead a wild & peaceful life.
Which courses have you taken with Applied Psychology for Yogis? Um...ALL of them!
What attracted you to these courses? Livia's frank and honest approach to the hard shit.
What are 3 ways the course influenced you in your personal life? What about your professional life?
1. I started trusting my body's signals with greater ease.
2. I learned to stay in my body in moments where I might have otherwise slipped out to avoid an overwhelming or intense experience.
3. Honestly...my marriage improved as a result of me understanding my needs better.
1. My yoga teaching sharpened a lot. I came out of these courses with greater clarity about what matters and where I can make a difference in the yoga room.
2. I learned to take a lot of things that happen in my work-sphere less personally. I was better able to focus on my work + my path with improved understanding of what I value.
3. I now feel more authentic and real in my roles as a yoga teacher and studio owner.
How have you applied the course materials to your work?
I am more aware of working specific techniques and tools in my yoga classes, like tracking sensations, oscillation, and asking for consent for assisting. I notice my language much more, and am far more aware of how choices I make impact the experience in the room. I apologize less and am more comfortable being clear with my students about what I expect and what my teaching is all about.
What benefits have you observed in your work since incorporating these teachings?
Honestly, through my willingness to grow stronger, clearer, and more direct, I have noticed my students poses improve. As an asana teacher, that is something I'm going for. I also have noticed, from establishing healthier boundaries, that my relationships with students feel fulfilling. My role is clear to them, and they know what they're getting because it's out there in the open. Same with my employees. I'm learning to be a better studio owner through applying this work.
What advice would you give to new APFY students?
Just notice. Livia gives so much information and change can happen slowly. Just start to notice what you're doing now...that gift of awareness of what choices I'm making in the yoga room and KNOWING the impact they may have has been worth it all.

Aaron Best
There's a funny thing about plans: Life often gets in the way.
For Aaron Best, when he graduated high school in May of 2017, life was already seemingly decided.
"I was going to enjoy my summer, head to school in August, hit on girls and get wild every weekend," Aaron said. "My life was consumed with getting positive affirmations from my peers who I thought were cool. All I cared about was money, clothes and how other people perceived me."
However, this internal battle that manifested itself externally eventually led to Aaron getting arrested only two months into the summer.
He was facing over $5,000 in repayments and 30 days in jail.
"By the grace of God, the judge looked at me, told me to pay a $350 fine and dropped the charge," he said. "The company I stole from didn't ask for any punishment from the courts. Truly a miracle."
He was at his lowest point, and felt as if he had nothing to hold onto.
"My family, although disappointed, pushed me to move past this time of my life and come into a greater version of myself," he said. "My dad bought me the APEMAN 'Rebirth' shirt, and it was a turning point for me."
Aaron had always enjoyed going to the gym, but he had never poured his time into striving to improve his whole being.
"I went through the motions, got in and got out, but never allowed true passion and rage to come from my time at the gym," he added. "While I was still in the middle of a storm of lawsuits, disappointed family members and disappointment in myself, I decided to channel my rage in a new way. I used the gym as an outlet, a place to kill my old self, and watch my new self come to fruition."
Every time he went to the gym, Aaron forced a full "rebirth" of himself, rising from the ashes of all that he had done, and his entire life began to slowly piece itself back together.
"I am now completely recovered from all of the legal troubles, pursuing a career in health and fitness, and I feel like the greatest version of myself," Aaron said.

"I Could Tell There Was More"
Client Connection Starts at the Front Door
Working at our Family Resource Center (FRC) front desk, Magali is often the first person people meet when they come through Cope's doors. As our Resource Specialist, she helps identify families' needs and connect them with the appropriate resources. Sometimes it's as simple as distributing diapers or a gift card. But often, parents don't know what resources are available.
"A few months ago, a mom came in with her two-year old", recalled Magali. "She had just moved to Napa County and came to us not knowing what sort of help she needed. I gave her diapers for her son and a gift card to buy some toiletries. But I could tell there was more that this mom needed. The more we talked, the more she told me about herself. She opened up and told me she had come to Napa to get away from an abusive partner. So we connected her with NEWS and other community resources. Over time, she started opening up more. She felt safe here and the more she talked to me, the more we were able to help her."
Magali is proud of her work and knows she helps keep children safe. "When I was younger, I wanted to be a detective and investigate child abuse crimes. As I grew older, I realized I didn't want to be on that end; I wanted to help prevent child abuse in the first place. That's why I came to Cope." By empowering parents with the resources they need to manage crises and challenging situations, Magali helps alleviate the stress that - without support - can potentially lead to neglect or abuse.
Clients often come in feeling hopeless and overwhelmed. When they realize that Cope is here to support them, they start to feel more hopeful and confident. "Just last week, a woman came in. She had recently found out she was pregnant but she didn't look happy. In speaking with her, I found out that she was very concerned about the family's finances. Since the Napa fires, they hadn't been able to catch up. So she was having a hard time mentally preparing for the baby because she was so overwhelmed with the financial stress. We gave her gift cards and referred her to our Healthy Families™ Home Visiting program. Our support and guidance helped put her at ease and give her hope. She's now excited about becoming a mother. She knows Cope will be here for those bumps in the road."
Even now, months after the fires, Magali continues to work with families like this, families struggling to recover from the disaster. "Many of the families impacted by the fires heard about us for the first time during the crisis. When they were referred to us for Emergency Financial Assistance, they learned about all the services we provide. And they've come back to Cope, for additional emergency support, to sign up for parenting classes and for assistance connecting with other community resources. We are proud to have this role in helping families through this challenging time."
Domestic violence, natural disaster, job loss, unexpected pregnancy, poverty. These are just some of the challenges that can cause stress and turmoil in a family. We are grateful for Magali's compassion and dedication to helping parents through whatever crises they face so their children can emerge happy and healthy.

|July 8, 2006 - We look like kids!!!!
Ok, well some one needs to pinch me and tell me that five years really has passed. Who knew that would fly by so quickly?!?! I cannot believe that five years ago today, July 8th, 2006 I married my best friend and partner in crime, threw the biggest party of our lives, and started our 'new life' as husband and wife. I could not ask for a better husband, father or friend. Brian, you are my everything! We have been through more than I imagined we would have.
So far in five years we have:
- Resided in two states - Indiana to Alabama and back again!
- Lived in 3 different houses (2 of which have been in the last two years)
- Been blessed with 3 amazing children who keep everyday more lively than the last.
- Learned what it means to rely fully on God & each other
- Understood that Brian thinks in straight lines and black & white and I tend to think 'curvy' and in technicolor...(I have decided that this is why we work so well together!!!)
- Created memories that will last forever.
- Supported each other no matter what crazy idea we (usually me) came up with.
- Became the "Old Married Couple" and we like it!
|June 11, 2011
I am so happy with the way our life path has taken us. Not saying that it has been completely a walk in the park...but its been close to it!! Everyday bring us closer together and I thank God that he brought 'my cowboy' in to my life. Brian, I love you! Thanks for everything! I look forward to making more memories and spending many, many more wonderful years with you!!! Happy Anniversary!

7 Reasons to Keep the Inbox Empty - Part 7
#7: There are more appropriate places to store email messages
This is the last of the 7 Reasons to Keep Your Inbox Empty, just in time for the 8th International Clean Out Your Inbox Week initiative next week. See the COYIW page for details of what's happening next week.
One of the biggest reasons you tend to leave message in the in-box is because you're not sure where else you can store them. You don't want to forget them (or lose them) so they are left in the in-box, just to be safe but also creating lots of clutter and distraction.
However, once you get your e-mail folders organised it becomes much easier to move each e-mail out of the inbox.
- If you do need it again at some time in the future, it can be moved to an appropriate email folder (eg: Subject A, B, C or Client 1, 2, 3 or Project X, Y, Z).
- If you have no folder for a specific e-mail, or you're not sure which folder it should go to, or there's not enough of this type of message to justify its own folder, you can move it to a 'catch-all' folder (eg: called 'Reference' or 'Filing Cabinet' or 'Miscellaneous').
Woo hoo – an empty inbox!
Once you made one of the above decisions about where to relocate each e-mail, the in-box is empty again. Every e-mail is now stored in an appropriate location, rather than left to accumulate in the in-box.
Why not check out these ideas to get your e-mail folders organised so you can keep your inbox empty and get e-mail under control?
So there you are, that's the 7 Reasons to Keep the Inbox Empty! Get the full 7 Reasons to Keep the Inbox Empty article from the Resources webapge at any time.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback on this fascinating subject. Let me know what you think via;

All the best!

Choosing the right Wooden Cutting Board for you
End Grain Vs. Edge Grain / Wood Species / Inlays
What does it all mean?
End grain vs. Edge grain
Beside the appearance the grain orientation will affect the longevity as well. The orientation of the wood in an End Grain cutting board allows the knife blade to glide between the fibers. This allows the cutting edge to remain sharper longer. With ceramic, stone or glass cutting boards your knife comes in direct contact with an unforgiving surface, causing it to dull, chip, etc. See picture below for example.
The appearance of End Grain is very different than Edge Grain as well. As a general rule, End Grain will always be darker, and the board will typically be made up of numerous blocks. Below are a few examples.
Both of these are made of the same woods. The first image is Edge Grain and the other is End Grain. Red is called Paduak, White is Maple, and Brown is Walnut
Wood Species
When considering wood species, it is primarily what ever you like the look of best. However, some woods are not safe to use with food (i.e. Yew), and some are just too soft and will not hold up to the wear of a cutting board (i.e. Pine). Some exotic woods are just too rare and therefore are not realistic to make a cutting board out of. An example of this would be Ebony. The last time I priced out Ebony it came in at $150 per "board feet".... for a typical cutting board I plan on about 2 board feet. Personally my go to woods for durability, appearance, and price at Walnut, Maple, Paduak, PurpleHeart, Oak and Cherry. Below is a chart of different woods organized by density.
When customizing a cutting board a lot of people like to inlay a name or a picture. Typically there are two options of how to get this done. You can get a contrasting wood inlaid or do a resin inlay. A wood inlay tends to be more expensive, but some people prefer wood inlays for the look of all natural woods. With a resin inlay you will have an almost endless option of colors available, and it is easier to get more detail with resin versus wood inlays. Check out our Gallery for some projects we have done in the past of resin and wood inlays.

Cauldron QuestSpring 2015 Games
Players work collaboratively to assemble the three correct ingredients of the magical potion into the Cauldron before the Evil Wizard blocks all six paths and destroys the kingdom.
The board is set up in a circle, with multiple pathways to get to the Cauldron "finish line." There are quite a few moving parts to the game, including two sets of dice, player pieces, ingredient tokens, and "path blockers." It seems like a lot to master, but after playing the game once with instructions in hand, players fall under the spell of the gameplay. Teamwork is key: observation, planning an approach, talking about it and thinking it through, stirred together with a little bit of luck combine for the fun of winning - or losing - together.

Description:Physicists and system analysts would call that an adaptive dynamics system approach - that is, adapting his style to the circumstances instead of adhering to a predictable format. Punch was widely emulated worldwide and was popular in the colonies. That was not uncommon, as boys in the Balkans, where I travelled to recently, seemed to think every Chinese man is somehow related to Bruce Lee.

"No one can teach you how to be a storyteller, you have to live to be able to do that."
Casey Neistat
If there is one thing you should do right now, if you don't already, Go to your You Tube Account and SUBSCRIBE to Casey Neistat. Right Now. Today. Now, Right Now !!
I've learned, at this point in my life that, maybe it's not always about trying to fix something broken. Maybe it's about starting over and creating something better.
That is so freaking true for me right now.
Tonight we talked about Honesty. Honesty is one word that appears early in How It Works:
Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path. Those who do not recover are people who cannot or will not completely give themselves to this simple program, usually men and women who are constitutionally incapable of being HONEST with themselves. There are such unfortunates. They are not at fault; they seem to have been born that way. They are naturally incapable of grasping and developing a manner of living which demand rigorous HONESTY. Their chances are less than average. There are those too, who suffer from grave emotional and mental disorders, but many of them do recover if they have the capacity to be HONEST.
Before I say anything else, we must begin this discussion with the fact that we are all HUMAN, we are FALLIBLE, and we all make MISTAKES. Alcoholism is a human disease, and when we come to the rooms, however damaged and hopeless we are, some tend to forget the human quality and hurriedly ascribe some nasty word to describe fellow humans sitting in the same room with them, forgetting, that at one time, THEY were just as damaged and hopeless as newcomers are.
What have I learned in 49 years of life ?
We are born into families, be they rock solid and honest, or broken and hard pressed for any semblance of honesty or love.
As children and well into our teen years until the day we walk out of that house we were born into, walk out of said house and strike out into the great unknown.
We all carry that around with us, and that taints what we do next, (for many) and how we see the world. For me that was the great challenge. I lacked many things when I left home.
And I see that today.
Knowing all the secrets at home, and watching people live inside a secret and watch them produce a show for the outside world, where they were not their true selves, fucked me up.
My thoughts always centered around, "Well, if this is good for you (read: Your Secrets) then it is good for me." (Read: What's Good for the Goose, is Good for the Gander).
Gay IN secret was better than being gay OUT in the world. That was an abomination.
While all the while, I heard my parents demean me and many others, with racist, ethnic and homophobic hatred. In the end I knew I had to go. And I did.
But like I have said before, alcoholism followed me, and so did some seriously bad behavior. Namely, dishonesty, lies, and immaturity.
Honest was not something I aspired to.
In my twenties, I hit several serious situations that put me between a rock and a hard place. At first, I drank to drown. And I failed at coping with suicide. The second, when I got sick, I again, drank to drown, until Todd stepped in.
If he was one thing, he was honest. And I had to get honest to begin with, or there was no future. I learned the hard way what happens when you have to get honest, and remain silent for your own good, because the truth would cost you a lover, a home, a job, a family, and your friends.
Been there Done that …
When people show up, they bring with them everything that happened to them, everything they believe, and everything they have lost. Hope is the last thing on many minds in the beginning. And if we are honest with you, life is not a dress rehearsal, and this is not a trial run, there are no do overs.
This is it. You only get one shot. So you better make it a good shot.
Sadly, many don't learn this the first time around. I surely did not.
Almost fifteen years later, I am still working on my Good Shot.
Honesty is something I struggle with every day. Honestly, I've expected better of people, and hoped in people to rise and grow up, when they are not able to do so. I've held onto idealistic expectations, that I will never see "This side of heaven."
I have known for a while now, that when I turned fifty, I was no longer going to be willing to wait for people who are not part of my life today, to become part of my life. Because, as a wise man said to me tonight, "Twenty five years later, is a long time to make an amend to someone that might be sunk in their way of life, and that outcome be anything else but a big HUGE disaster."
Good for me, my spiritual director cut me to the chase and made me see, how I was not being Honest with myself or GOD. Withholding my trust in God, and thinking that my will was the better will, and that God did not have the right answer, because the answer I have long wanted had not come YET, yet I was willing to hold on until it came, come hell or high water.
Over the years, being Gay and POZ, I watch people, when I tell the truth. I watch what they do, and I listen to what they say. And it is in what they Don't Do and what they Don't Say that I find appalling.
Sober people are just as guilty of this kind of behavior as those who live on the outside.
Today, I know what I know. And I've seen what I've seen. And I know, for damned sure, who I want to hang around, and who I don't. They say that "Who we are is directly related to the top five people we have in our lives."
Rafa is right up there at the top of my five list.
When we come, we bring what we have. And we cope the best way we can, based on each of our abilities to do that. Making sobriety the first priority, when we bring life into the room with us, is the challenge in making sobriety work, Honestly.
I was ready, this time around, to do whatever it took, at what ever cost, no matter what.
And I will have, very soon, fifteen years of making that system work for me. I have accrued all those years of work, honesty as I was able, and truth as I spoke, and love and care where it mattered to give away.
Not Many People are interested in my honest attempt to be a good human being.
And I have to let that be.
I know my elder friends who I speak to and trust implicitly are all on their journeys. My elder man is heading towards 65 soon, and my elder lady friend is heading towards 63, I am headed towards 50, my spiritual director just hit 53.
We are all trying to figure out wisdom of our times. We are all trying to figure out what we are supposed to know, and what is coming around the bend. I know what happened in my twenties, my thirties, and my forties.
I hit sobriety at 34. Wisdom did not begin to set in until I hit 40. I'm not sure what is going to happen when I hit 50. We all know what happened to some, who have hit the 70 mark. They got OLD very fast, became despondent, they suffer from old age that came on quite suddenly, and tragically. I don't know but I watched what happened, I watched several of my friends age FAST. And they have faded into obscurity, by their own choices.
I'm tired of waiting. I'm tired of old ideas and old expectations.
Sometimes being honest is not the wisest counsel.In certain situations.
Today I had a conversation with a friend, who is not in a good space, so I've been on top of that with her. She made a decision today that was detrimental to her, despite what we've been through together, and I know why she did what she did, and I could not be totally honest with her, because I am not her, and I am not in control of anyone but myself.
The only honest thing I could say was, Do you think that choice was wise ? Good or Bad ?
The scales of the past fall from us, the longer we work on ourselves. And truth and honesty comes in stages, and not all at once, because we are HUMAN, and we can only progress forwards, with TIME, WORK and with FAITH. As we are able, with what we have at each moment we need it.
I see that wisdom now, about how dishonestly I began my adult life. And just how long it took me to figure all that out.
That is twenty eight years later …
Better late than never.
I would rather you be honest with me, than give me the silent treatment or ignore me. Some of my friends just walk away. I'm not sure why, because I work very hard at relationships, it's just that for some of my friends, I don't have that kind of relationship, let's say, that I do with my best friend or my husband.
Certain friends of mine when I ask them to be honest with themselves and me, have turned around and told me to go fuck myself.
One, they can't be honest in recovery, And Two, they can be honest in telling me to go fuck myself.
That doesn't make sense to me.
You cannot be all things to all people, its just not possible.
I'm honestly working on being better at honesty, all the way round.
How Free Do You Want to Be ???

About Us
We are a father and son team.
We concentrate on three aspects of energy saving technics to save you money with your energy bill.
- The amount of insulation in the attic as well as the R-value of it.
- Leaks in the HVAC system if it's in the attic.
- Air leaks at the access to the attic, properly dealing with any recessed light that may not be IC (insulation contact ) rated & around the chimney penetrations that may be in the home. Controlling air leakage can be costly at times but, moving air destroys the R-value which increase energy bills.
What sets us apart from the competition?
Maintaining storage area in your Attic.
We can build shelving to get your stored items off the attic floor for complete attic insulation.
Stopping Air Leaks Around your attic door.
We can install the Attic Tent behind your attic door to dramatically reduce air leaks.

Telltale Signs of a Failing Relationship
Marriage is a commitment and thus it needs both parties to work on their differences to keep the relationship afloat. When rough times come, it is to remind couples that these tribulations are intended to make their partnership stronger and not to ruin the sanctity of their marriage. There are telltale signs that you can look out for if you think your marriage is failing. When you see these signs manifest, you might want to address the issue right away instead of waiting for the problem to become uncontrollable.
These signs are continuously talked about in blogs, forums, and online magazines and they also provide tips on how to work things out. As much as possible, divorce should never be considered to address the issue. Undergoing marital therapy is one way to assist couples in working out their differences and enhancing the communication between the two. With the help of a marriage counselor, couples can get pointers on how to better improve their relationship and address their differences.
One of the most obvious signs of a failing relationship is when couples constantly fight over just about everything. Before these arguments turn hurtful and more heated, it is best to find a solution that would prevent the decay of the relationship. Not all couples buy the idea of sitting in a marriage counselor's office and talk about their personal issues, as an alternative online marriage counselors are there to help them out. With online counseling, privacy is given to the couple as they do not usually have to talk face to face with the counselor.
Spending less time together is another indication of a failing marriage and before couples get to this point, it is good to sit down and talk things over. With an online marriage counselor, couples can get help in figuring out their issues and gain understanding on how they can navigate through the complications of the relationship. A counselor can provide fresh insights on what's going on with the marriage and would create plans on how to save it.
Every now and then, the feeling of unhappiness may be felt while in a relationship. However, when this feeling of dissatisfaction is not addressed, the probability of couples drifting apart is high. When couples start to sleep apart in bed or even sleep in different bedrooms then this is already an indication that the problem is getting worse and the need for a counselor is urgent. By understanding the status of the relationship early on and addressing the nagging issues of the partnership, couples are forestalling the probability of ending the marriage.
The help of an online marriage counselor proves to be an invaluable source of insights that help keep the marriage. Blogs and online magazines continue to advocate the use of these professionals and their expertise to straighten out any misunderstandings within the relationship.

BLOCKCHAIN Man In Black John McAfee has hit back at people claiming to have 'hacked' his new baby cryptocurrency wallet Bitfi.
In a typically bombastic tweet, he retorted to further claims that his product was insecure, saying:
Laughing so hard I can barely catch my breath. "Hackers" play Doom, play videos, root the device, play music on the BitFi wallet. We dont charge extra for those facilities. No-one has taken the coins from our pre-loaded wallet. No one will. Isn't this what matters?— John McAfee (@officialmcafee) August 14, 2018
The tweet came after security researcher Cybergibbons (aka Andrew Tierney) released a statement challenging McAfee to loosen the rules on the bounty which offers a very specific opportunity to claim large sums of money by hacking the $120 wallet.
In it, he lists examples of alleged threats by Bitfi and its disciples:
'[Bitfi] claims that Tierney is "cleverly twisting things that were said out of context,"'
Can someone tell me how I am twisting this out of context?https://t.co/EpNpVoGGOY pic.twitter.com/LIQrxLSk89— Ask Cybergibbons! (@cybergibbons) August 15, 2018
Tierney counters the terms of the bounty which is only available if you buy a BifFi with $10 preloaded, and a passphrase preset before dispatch: "The bounty is a strawman, designed to allow Bitfi to claim they haven't been hacked because the bounty hasn't been claimed. In reality, the bounty only covers a single attack: sending your wallet (which has a strong seed and phrase) via UPS (taking several days) to an attacker. This doesn't emulate the real world, not even close.
"'Unhackable' means cannot be hacked and will not ever be hacked by any means. This is the only definition we accept."
Cybergibbons claims that by anyone else's definition he has hacked the wallet.
Now, let's be clear about this – we love ourselves a bit of McAfee, he's one of the great characters (and innovators) of the sector we like to call 'tech'. But he's missing an important point for a man whose company is trying to sell a product designed to store consumers money.
Since launch, we've seen several successful 'mods' (we'll step back from 'hacks' for now) of a device that is perceived as being like Fort f*cking Knox.
McAfee has refused to engage with those who have done so, simply saying that if the money is still there, it's not a hack.
So, on one hand, we've got McAfee saying "trust me" and a group of hackers saying "look – it's not as secure as you say and here's the proof".
Bitfi's defence is hiding behind a bounty programme that appears to be designed as impossible to meet the criteria for.
The issue has almost stopped being about the security of the wallet itself and more about a simple case of public relations.
Just today, we received some research from OnePulse. It shows that 53 per cent of people didn't know what Blockchain was. 35 per cent said they wouldn't trust their money with blockchain, a technology they didn't even understand.
More worryingly still – only 18 per cent were actually able to explain what it is.
But here's the kicker. This survey wasn't done on the high street. It was done at IP Expo Europe – an industry trade show attended by tech types.
How in the heck is the concept ever going to reach mass market if the typical early adopters don't understand it?
So, Mr McAfee – here's our point. Perhaps your wallet is 'unhackable'. But when people don't understand the technology, any vulnerability – even playing 'Doom' on it, is going to totally screw with the product's image. Ergo, suggesting to hackers that the definition of 'hacking' is wrong is just compounding that.
We know it's against your nature, and we love you for it. But seriously – get a PR agency in and stop shooting your mouth off. It's going to kill the product.
Remember – you've bet your penis on Bitcoin reaching $1m value by the end of 2020. That means it has to gain $993613.38 in 871 days at the time of writing. That's an average of £1140.77 every day. The forecasting you've used must be pretty assured, and we trust you that there will be a tipping point that will stop you having to remove your… erm… tipping point.
But you have to remember with Bitfi and Bitcoin that these seem like wild claims to 99 per cent of us, and that's the biggest barrier you face right now.
We're saying this from a place of love, OK? Please don't hurt us. And if you are – please stop threatening people who are just trying to help – not everyone is out to get you.

Put the power of Opus AI into your ATS or HCM software
Opus AI In Your ATS or HCM
Opus AI is designed from the ground up to be integrated in other systems. And while we excel at intelligent candidate screening and blind screening programs, there are lots of other areas that HCM systems govern (such as benefits administration, tracking vacation and sick days etc.) that simply aren't what we do.
This is where you come in. If your company makes a commercial ATS or HCM system, or if your organization has an internally developed ATS/HCM system, you can bring the capabilities of Opus AI into your existing software.
Documented APIs
Opus AI supplies documented RESTful APIs for major functionality, allowing it to be integrated with any external system. One area of particular focus is the capability to push candidates into Opus AI from an external source.
These Candidate APIs enable candidate information to be initially captured in an external ATS/HCM, and then pushed into Opus AI for profiling and review.
Integration Services
Need some help? In many cases, Opus AI can directly assist with integrating with your ATS/HCM system.
It may be that we already have an integration with your ATS/HCM system, in which case the work is mostly configuration and quite limited in scope. Otherwise, with a little research we can provide a quote for a tightly scoped, quick integration project to connect your ATS/HCM with Opus AI.
White Label Opus AI
We offer a program to commercial ATS/HCM vendors to embed Opus AI into their product and resell it as a bundle. If you're a vendor please get in touch with us for details.

For Those Who Came In Late… The earlier reports were wrong. All wrong. It turns out that false histories of the Serpents Legacy have been disseminated throughout the ages in hopes of maintaining the fragile sovereignty of the True Serpents origin. It is with unbridled enthusiasm that we present to you, the gentle reader, quite possibly the most accurate and consequential history of The Serpents yet discovered...

EGR Systems...What They Are And Nixing Them
Since I can remember, I've heard about the "awful" EGR Valve system. It seems that every time I heard of someone with a sputtering engine, uneven power distribution, or the like, the EGR system was quick to be mentioned. As time went on, I started to hear about people removing the system. This, of course, was usually after they had already tried to fix the problem 2 or 3 times. Still, as I had no first hand experience with the system, I felt this was a "bad idea". How little did I know…!
You may be wondering about now, why I told you this little story? Well, it's because I find that there are still a lot of people who feel like I did back then. They don't fully understand what the EGR system does, when it might be best to remove it, or the potential benefits of nixing the system all together. Don't worry… that's why I'm here.
EGR is an acronym for "Exhaust Gas Recirculation". Valves control the "recirculation" portion of the EGR system. These valves are the most common failure within the system. For many vehicles they are not very cheap to replace either. Therefore, there is a lot of complaint about them.
Engineers have found that introducing ("recirculating") burnt exhaust into the air induction system, of a motor, reduces the emissions of a vehicle. This is the purpose of the EGR System. One side effect of this though, is that you lose a good bit of performance. Another side effect is by having exhaust gasses mix in to the intake, it dirties up the induction system. With time this requires a bit more cleaning, and the replacement of the EGR Valves to continue functioning correctly.
These negative effects are why a lot of people choose to remove the EGR system completely. However, before you run out, remove your EGR system, and toss it in the trash, you need to keep in mind that you may need this system installed for your vehicle to pass emission in the area where you live. Because of this, it would be best to visit a local (reliable) mechanic, and get their opinion on, if removing the EGR System would be a feasible option.
If you find that you have the opportunity to remove the EGR System, you should see a noticeable increase in power. This is because your motor is introducing, only, "fresh air" that is not contaminated by exhaust gasses. Thereby allowing better combustion.
After doing your own investigation, if you choose to remove the EGR System from your vehicle, you will need to make sure you block off the ports where the ERG Valve system was mounted. There are a number of pre-made block-off plates that can be purchased on Ebay.com, thru your local auto parts stores, or even some of the more popular automotive performance stores. So, you shouldn't have an issue finding what you need.
In the case that you can't find what you need to block off your EGR ports, or you would just like to say; "I made these plates myself"… then check out my Beginners Fab Tv video below. There you will find a tutorial that explains the process and the tools that you need to make these plates. Of all the fabrication projects you can do starting out, this is by far, one of the easiest!
Thanks again for watching!

What it is
A mobile mesonet, or dubbed simply "mesonet," is a weather station on wheels. You may have seen one before, they're usually out near severe storms or tornadic supercells during the spring and summer months.
It's Purpose
The shapes and designs of these weather stations may look odd, but each one is designed to obtain the truest, most accurate readings of the atmosphere in and around a supercell thunderstorm or tornado.
A mobile mesonet samples the atmosphere at set intervals, usually every second, and records temperature, humidity (dew point, not relative), atmospheric pressure, wind speed and direction. Additionally, they are equipped with GPS devices that plot and track the vehicle's position and speed for later analysis.
The design
A mesonet is made of an aluminum, or sometimes PVC pipe, rack system mounted to the roof. Each instrument is positioned above the vehicle at specific locations in order to limit or eliminate any influence from the car itself. For example, placing a temperature sensor too close to a vehicle's roof, especially if it's a black car, will not give you accurate readings as heat generated from the car's roof will change the surrounding atmosphere.
Another example is the anemometer, the sensor that records wind speed and direction. If the sensor is placed behind the vehicle's windshield, the aerodynamics of the car's shape will increase wind speeds, giving an inaccurate reading of the surrounding air. Therefore, the rack system is designed to place the anemometer above, and forward, of the vehicle's slipstream at a height of about 5 feet.
The Instruments
Each mesonet has a least one of the following:
- Anemometer – records windspeed and direction
- Temperature probe – samples air temperature
- Humidity probe – samples the dew point
- Atmospheric pressure sensor & port inlet – records the atmospheric pressure.
- GPS Receiver (fluxgate compass)
In addition to the above sensors, some mesonets, particularly those employed by the National Weather Service and other research groups, will use multiple combinations of these sensors using various heights or housings. For example, the National Severe Storms Laboratory used three different temperature/humidity systems so that the readings could be compared after each operation.
You may also see that some mesonets also employ various antennas on the racks, which are either for high frequency radios or radiosonde receivers.
The Data
The raw data of these sensors are recorded on a data-logger inside the vehicle. Once operations have ended, the data is pulled onto a laptop or other computer for analysis. Some mesonets also employ computer software onboard that allows the vehicle occupants to monitor the data as it comes in real time.
Gas Mileage
It's terrible.

I could easily have pulled off the greatest art heist in history.
Millions and millions of dollars worth of paintings were mine for the taking.
No alarm sounded. No cops. No witnesses.
Today, the original of Renoir's Luncheon of the Boating Party could be hanging above the mantel in the living room of my townhouse in Mississauga, instead of my photo of a flying wood stork.
And Dufy's The Artist's Studio would look good in my home office.
Such treasures would be mine if only I'd had a proclivity for thievery 45 years ago today.
On May 29, 1972, I was in Washington with my Swiss wife Anita, who schlepped this kid from Queens through the art museums of two continents during our short-lived marriage.
So, on this hot, sunny Memorial Day in the mecca of American history, instead of paying respects to Mr. Lincoln or Mr. Jefferson, we went to see the Phillips Collection of modern (mostly European) art.
I parked my dark blue Fiat 124 sedan on the street right in front of the gallery. We walked to the front door, opened it, and went inside. There was no one there.
In the entranceway, we admired a small Braque. We walked up a staircase and stood before that large Renoir canvas of the Boating Party, in its gilded frame.
Not another breathing soul around. Just the two of us and those Parisian partygoers, Renoir's chums from the 1880s, drinking and gabbing on a restaurant balcony overlooking the Seine.
We moseyed on, dawdled in front of paintings by Matisse, Monet, Picasso, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cezanne, Seurat.
"This is weird," I finally said to Anita. "We could just take any of these paintings and walk out the door."
"What should we do?" she asked.
Since we were leaving Washington the next day and didn't know when we might return, we decided to spend a little more time with the paintings.
After about a half hour or so, we began to head out. "Let's see if we can call someone," I said.
We went back to the entranceway and found the reception desk. It had one of those sliding shelves where people often pasted lists of phone numbers. Sure enough, I found a list.
There was a number for a "Mrs. Phillips." I dialed it on the phone atop the desk.
A woman answered.
"Mrs. Phillips?" I asked.
"My name is Ken Becker and I'm inside your gallery right now but no one else is here."
"Yes," she said, "we're closed today."
"But my wife and I just walked in. The doors were unlocked."
"That's odd," she said.
"Yes it is," I said. "What would you like us to do?"
No reply for a moment. "Well, I'll call our security company. If you wouldn't mind waiting there until they arrive …"
"No problem," I said, and hung up.
Anita and I stood inside the front door and guarded the Braque. When we saw a couple of rent-a-cops pull up and rush up the walkway, we met them outside.
"How'd you get in there," one snapped.
"We just walked in," I said, turning to demonstrate how I'd grabbed each handle of the double-doors and pulled. The doors opened.
"You're not supposed to do it that way," said the uniformed security man. He closed the doors, grasped only one handle, pulled, and the doors stayed locked.
I laughed. "You mean anybody with two hands can get in but you're counting on them to only pull one handle?"
He and his partner nodded. Dumbfounded. But not amused.
They looked us over, apparently checking to see whether I had a Degas in my pants or Anita had a Klee in her purse, before dismissing us with a wave.
All these years later, I envision filling my Fiat with great Impressionist works, driving up the Jersey Turnpike, home to New York, with the Renoir strapped to the roof.
When Anita and I split up later that year, she took the Beatles albums and I got the Sinatra and Simon and Garfunkel.
But I can now imagine us sitting around the living room of our apartment in Queens with priceless canvases strewn about.
I want the Picasso.
Fine, but I'll take the Matisse.
No, I want the Matisse.
I'll trade you two Cezannes for the Matisse.
Let's divvy up the Van Goghs.
Okay, but who gets the Renoir?
Considering all the places I've lived since then – Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, Maine, Northern Ontario, Mississauga – I would have had to hire a Brink's truck to haul my stash of paintings from house to house.
And now I'd have that Renoir above the mantel.
Or maybe Gauguin's The Ham in the kitchen.
And Picasso's The Blue Room in the john.
A longer, more detailed account of this and many more stories are told in my book: The Expat Files: My Life in Journalism.
