With many great thanks to a user on the Final Fantasy XIV sub-reddit for translating several Japanese articles, some new information regarding Patch 4.1 has been revealed. And with the next Letter from the Producer Live scheduled for this upcoming Friday (September 1st) during the Four-Year Anniversary Broadcast, some of the things mentioned in this interview could be elaborated on during the letter.
As mentioned by the reddit user, some of the translations are a little rough and the original post will be edited as the thread progresses.
General information:
- Pre-patch 4.1 will see small updates to make PVP adjustments.
- Royal Menagerie Extreme has been confirmed.
- They are adding more ways for players to utilize clan mark logs and Grand Company currencies, like exchanging currencies for more items.
- There might be plans to implement upgrades to Weathered equipment(Gear you receive from job quests) in the future.
- They are starting to turn their attention toward a Glamour System.
- They want to expand inventory slots / the amount of items a player can hold, and also have smartphone app features linked to the game. (Possibly to manage inventory while on your phone)
- 4.1 will see the addition of cross-server whispers and a cross-server friendlist.
- A "group chat"-like feature will be implemented in patch 4.2, it is currently in the works.
- On the subject of making items stackable up to 999, they couldn't make it for 4.1.
- Return to Ivalice will contain a lot of spoilers, so they will only be introducing parts of it. (Possibly meaning on social media and during the liveletter)
- The 4.1 content to be showcased in the upcoming liveletter might be revealed without holding back. So all of it will be "disclosed."
- For a more in-depth look at patch 4.1, they may make Part 2 to look deeper into the upcoming content.
- They will also be announcing a new high difficulty mode, harder than Omega Delta Savage, in the upcoming letter as well.
- "NGC Crafting Committee might create a whole load of original quests for the upcoming 14 hour broadcast."
- There may be a lot of surprises for Tanaka Rie(Japanese VA for Sophia, Kan-E-Senna and Sadu), related to the costume she will be wearing? And also from Yoshino Nanjo (Krile Mayer Baldesion)'s web radio corner (Named: Eorzea yori ai wo komete, From Eorzea With Love).
- Conversation with Akihiro Hino (Level 5 CEO) will be more about the comparison between online games from the past to present.
- "On their opinion about Omega Delta Savage difficulty: Roughly as expected."
- "Compared to before, a lot of people are clearing the tier. (A lot of the players cleared 2nd floor, though many are stuck and are struggling with O3S and O4S)"
- The designer for the upcoming Beyond Savage mode, Sudo Kenji, mumbled a lot of unsettling words during the planning stages, and this new mode seems like it may be epic. (The translator left a note: "Have to elaborate on this one: it's more on the scale of dreadful, terrifying and breathless, but again, since we don't know how it's like yet…"epic" is more suitable of a word until the patch is released and live.")
- This new Beyond Savage mode is going to be the hardest of them all since Sudo Kenji joined the team.
- "The difficulty is roughly about the same as The Second Coil of Bahamut Savage. (In YoshiP's words: "Please think of the difficulty to be somewhere around Second Coil Savage")"
- There is no story prepared for Beyond Savage.
- Banri Oda (World Setting/Scenario Writer) wrote the story for Ala Mhigo up to Kugane, while Natsuki Ishikawa mainly did the eastern side of the stories.
- There are no plans for adding more Aetherytes in the future.
- "Though there are plenty of places like Ame no Mihashira contains load of meanings but is otherwise unused…maybe it will be used in the future?"
- It is uncertain if Magnai will appear in future content, and while they have some ideas for him, nothing is confirmed.
- If any new swimming related content is added, it will involve more of the 4.0 areas.
- Jump Potions were not used as much as people thought they would be.
- No collab announcements with Youkai Watch.
- There is a possibility that 4.x series will contain Patch 4.6, 4.7 and so on.
- When asked if Yoshida was interested in adding more language support to the game, he mentioned he wanted it, but the risk of adding too many languages may break down the scenario team. Not to mention they would have to rely on other translation companies in order to get the content out.
- Outside of Japan, Europe was the one that saw the highest player increase thanks to outside collaborations and promotions.
- Related to the forums: Since the majority of people who use the Official Forums speak English, Yoshida sees little point in adding other forum language support. To elaborate on that; taking the posting frequency into consideration, the moment more language support is added, the more it will slow down other things(possibly meaning dev response). So for the time being, utilizing the English forums will get faster responses and will get feedback relayed faster.

The Cowboy Ninja Viking comic book movie adaptation has added two new writers ahead of a planned summer 2018 shooting start. The upcoming film is a passion project from Chris Pratt, who already has two major franchises to his name - with Jurassic World and Guardians of the Galaxy (three, if you count The Avengers) - but they aren't enough for the actor. Now, Pratt wants to launch a new property based on the oddball Image Comics title Cowboy Ninja Viking.
Created by A.J. Lieberman and Riley Rossmo, Cowboy Ninja Viking revolves around a truly bizarre counter intelligence unit made up of agents with multiple personalities. Pratt will play a character named Duncan, who combines the traits of - naturally - a cowboy, a ninja and a Viking. The plot gets moving when a number of these agents, called Triplets, go rogue and Duncan has to take them out. Game of Thrones director Michelle MacLaren was hired to helm the film after John Wick filmmakers David Leitch and Chad Stahelski seemingly passed on the project.
Related: Cowboy Ninja Viking Being Rewritten By Thor: Ragnarok Writer
With Craig Mazin (The Hangover II) and Eric Pearson (Thor: Ragnarok) both having already done a draft on the Cowboy Ninja Viking script, Universal has brought in two more writers to do another pass ahead of this summer's filming start date. THR reports that Rampage scribe Ryan Engle and Wrath of the Titans writer Dan Mazeau will get the next crack at helping bring the script for Cowboy Ninja Viking to life.
THR says Universal met with multiple writers before settling on Engle and Mazeau. In a possibly revealing move, the studio asked the two writers to work together on a new draft and they agreed. Normally, studios don't ask writers who've never worked together before to collaborate on script drafts in this manner. Could this be a sign of script trouble for the movie? With cameras set to roll in June, Universal certainly wants to have a finished script locked down. Of course, movies do occasionally go before cameras without a finished script, but such a circumstance qualifies as less than ideal.
Cowboy Ninja Viking certainly is not what anyone would call a hot IP, but Chris Pratt is a fan and he's the reason the movie is happening. That Universal would get behind the film shows what a great relationship Pratt has with the studio after the wild success of Jurassic World. Pratt and Universal hope the success story continues when Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom hits theaters this summer. Meanwhile, Pratt hopes Cowboy Ninja Viking has a script he and Michelle MacLaren can work with when the movie rolls cameras next month.

MMI: The theme for EMO Hannover 2017 is 'Connecting systems for intelligent production'. What is the significance of this theme?
Dr. Wilfried Schäfer: Digitisation and networking in production operations are the mega-topics nowadays. Experts are confident that Industry 4.0 will revolutionise industrial production and the world of industrial workplaces, or at least change it radically. In a holistically networked production line, the production operation is rendered more flexible with optimised procedural options, so that even rush orders in small batch sizes can be handled.
Complete networking of the entire production line, with real-time communication and control, creates the greatest added value for companies when all production steps are included, from receipt of an order to final delivery. Inside the value added chain, moreover, it's imperative to network with not only the component suppliers, but also the logistical partners and customers concerned, so as to achieve maximised productivity, flexibility and efficiency.
It's these aspects that are addressed by the EMO's motto of 'Connecting systems for intelligent production'. We anticipate that about 2,000 EMO exhibitors will be premiering numerous new solutions designed to generate maximised customer benefits from digitisation and networking.
MMI: Against the background of the 'Make in India' campaign, how do you view the participation of Indian companies at the mega-show? Has the number of Indian participants increased?
Dr. Schäfer: Indian manufacturers of machine tools have always been very active at the EMO Hannover event. We are particularly gratified to note that 33 Indian exhibitors have registered for the 2017 event.
At the previous event in 2013, there were only 25 firms. Manifestly, more Indian manufacturers are now internationally active, and seizing the opportunity to show the flag on the global machine tool market at the EMO Hannover exhibition. In terms of visitors, too, Indians are well represented. With more than 1,300 trade visitors, India in 2013 provided the third-largest visitor group from Asia.
MMI: What are the numerous attractions that visitors can expect at this year's event?
Dr. Schäfer: The EMO Hannover, as the world's premier trade fair for the metalworking sector, is traditionally the innovation forum for the machine tool industry. We know from our own analyses that around half the exhibitors unveil their innovations for the first time at an EMO event, and that numerous technical innovations began their triumphal progress there.
This is also reflected in the supporting programme for EMO Hannover 2017, which features a veritable cornucopia of different topics. In a variety of different formats, like conferences, special shows, symposia or seminars, the subjects discussed will include Industry 4.0, additive manufacturing, production for tomorrow, machine safety or aircraft production.
The fair will also focus on attractive markets for the international machine tool industry, specifically in half-day events on India and the USA. Finally, youth recruitment, particularly in regard to new requirements for staff qualifications entailed by digitisation and networking, is a recurrent theme at EMO Hannover.
MMI: This year, the show also has a new stand themed around 'Start-ups for intelligent production,' how is this segment expected to help start-up companies?
Dr. Schäfer: For the first time, EMO Hannover is providing a platform for start-up companies with a turnover of up to ten million euros, under the motto of 'Start-ups for intelligent production'. The aim is to support young enterprises in marketing their innovations. With fresh ideas and new products or services, moreover, they are coveted business associates for many established vendors.
A special stand themed around 'Start-ups for intelligent production' is open to newly created companies that are keen to showcase their corporate capabilities in an innovative environment and penetrate into the international market. It picks up on EMO's motto of 'Connecting systems for intelligent production' and at the same time demonstrates live the opportunities unlocked by networking and how it generates new ideas and business models.
MMI: What are your expectations from the event in terms of business opportunities?
Dr. Schäfer: EMO Hannover plays in the Champions League. Many of the exhibitors are also hidden champions in the world market. The exhibition is first and foremost a platform for showcasing a firm's own innovations and for raising its profile in the global competitive environment. In Hannover, exhibitors will meet only trade visitors, many of whom possess decision-making prerogatives for purchasing new kit.
In the last visitor survey in 2013, for example, 80 per cent of responders stated that they influenced procurement decisions in their companies. Exhibitors' expectations for post-fair business were correspondingly high. In actual fact, the fourth quarter of 2013 indeed saw a turnaround. Following a fall in international order bookings over seven quarters, orders had for the first time shown an increase, up by six per cent. We are, of course, interpreting this as an EMO effect.

A Guide to Laser Hair Removal Treatment
Some people are prescribed by the doctor to undergo hair removal in order to carry out a surgery of a particular area and they prefer to remove their hair permanently. Others especially women or men in some cases in order to remove unwanted hair permanently choose laser hair removal. But one should be very aware of the facts associated with laser hair removal like its mechanism and precautions before and after the treatment.
How does it work?
In laser hair removal treatment, a light of high intensity and shorter wavelength is used to destroy the hair follicles which are responsible for the growth of hair. Your hair cannot grow after its root follicles get destroyed.
Precautions Before Laser Hair Removal
keep the below in mind before having a laser hair treatment;
1. Exclude waxing or bleaching of skin.
2. If your skin complexion is dark, your skin has high melanin pigment. Laser light easily reacts with melanin and results in changed skin complexion. There are special techniques to remove the hair of dark complexion skin, have an inquiry about treatment centre providing such services.
3. Do not expose your skin to the sunlight, it can hamper the process of laser treatment.
How many Sessions are Required for Laser Hair Removal
Hair removal through laser is completed in various stages it varies from 2-8 stages depending upon the area of treatment. For instance, in case of facial hair removal, the sessions would be different as compared to any other area like legs or underarms.
Is It Safe to Shave in between the different Treatment Session
You are strictly advised not to shave during the whole period of treatment. It can result in an infection or other skin problems. Shaving should also be avoided before two weeks of treatment. You can take the guidelines from laser hair removal near me for this.
Skin Care After Laser Hair Removal
once your skin has undergone a laser hair removal treatment, it can show various symptoms for two to five days. These symptoms could be
1. inflammation and redness of the area.
2. rashes or bumps on the skin which may contain the watery substance.
3. change in skin complexion, itchiness, dry skin, etc.
these are the side effect of laser hair removal and one should visit laser hair removal Belleville for the checkup. The things that you should keep in mind after the laser are;
1. do not walk directly in the sunlight after treatment.
2. in order to recover soon you can take anti-fungal and antibiotic medicines.
3. waxing must be avoided for at least one month after treatment.
Can Hair Grow Back After Laser Hair Removal?
This is a million dollar question, all of you who are thinking of say bye to your unwanted body hair permanently must be curious to know about it. Well, I want to clear the fact that once your hair follicles are destroyed, there is no equation for hair growth again. But still many people go on complaining that they have experienced this stage when even after laser hair removal their hair growth again started. This is because the hair follicles of their hair are not completely destroyed by the laser, it is a case of faulty laser treatment due to which they encounter such issues.

In a strongly worded report to German parliamentarians, Wolfgang Schaeuble explained that the €159bn Greek bail-out was a one-off. He said: "In the future such purchases must only take place under very tight conditions, when the European Central Bank establishes that there are extraordinary circumstances in financial markets and dangers to financial stability."
Mr Schaeuble echoed German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who said the union's bail-out fund, the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), should not be allowed to engage in "unconditional" buying of bonds from stricken members.
Traders interpreted the letter as a strong signal Germany could not be depended upon for standing by the euro indefinitely. Just a week after European authorities united to rescue Greece, experts fear authorities are already again struggling to contain the region's sovereign debt crisis.
Cyprus threatened to become the fourth eurozone country to need a bail-out after Standard & Poor's downgraded its debt further into junk territory, lowering it to CC from CCC. The rating agency raised concerns that Cyprus' large exposure to Greek bonds - which is among the highest in the eurozone - might hamper its ability to service its own sovereign debt. According to the European Banking Authority, Bank of Cyprus holds €2.4bn in Greek debt and Marfin Popular Bank holds €3.4bn. Yields on Cypriot bonds maturing in 2014 soared to 10.18pc - above the borrowing rates of Ireland and Portugal, which have both been bailed out.
Stock markets across Europe fell. German's Dax was down 1.3pc; the CAC in France was down 1.4pc and Spain's Ibex was down 2pc. In London the FTSE 100 dropped 1.2pc.
Italian banks were hard hit amid fears of their sovereign debt exposure - UniCredit slid 3.9pc while Intesa Sanpaolo dropped 4.2pc. The euro fell from a three-week high against dollar.
Michael Woolfolk, from Bank of New York Mellon, said: "The immediate crisis has passed, but it hasn't fixed the underlying problems, and that's why the market has been less than excited about holding euros. [America] will find a compromise that cuts spending and is unlikely to lead to a debt downgrade, and then the focus will once again turn to Europe."
Separately, the International Monetary Fund cautioned France that it would miss its growth targets unless "specific contingency measures" were imposed immediately.
The fund, which was carrying out its yearly review of France, said it expects the economy to expand at a slower rate than Paris forecasts – at 2.1pc this year compared with 2.25pc. The IMF said France, Europe's second-largest economy, would have to adopt spending cuts or miss its target of reducing its budget deficit to 3pc of output by 2013.
Francois Baroi, the French foreign minister, said the cabinet was set to approve the Greek bail-out plans next week but parliamentarians will not vote on the package until October.

My Insurance Will Pay For It
By Mac Lee
Oct. 31, 2017 at 4:06 p.m.
I am hired as a consultant by dental offices across the nation to teach dentists and their team how to communicate to patients in an easy to understand language; a lot like I do with these articles. This October, I was in Worcester, Mass., and Rapid City, S.D. It's a fascinating job where I get to meet some really great people who are striving to give the best services possible to their patients.
About the only difference we see in dentists, their team and patients across the nation is accent. Worcester is pronounced "Wooster" and Rapid City is "Rapid." Of course, it is us who have the accent, especially traveling to the Northeast and yes, everyone seems to enjoy the Southern drawl. The problems that occur in Worcester, Rapid City or Edna, Texas are basically the same, which I find fascinating.
One huge, ubiquitous problem that always occurs, every day, in every dental office in America but has no solution is dental "insurance." When a dental office hears, "What will my insurance pay?" "I have dental insurance" or "My insurance will pay for it" they know mass confusion is about to occur.
"My insurance will pay for it."
When a patient say this, whether they are in Texas or South Dakota, they truly believe they have a plan that will pay for everything. In reality, dentistry is expensive and no third party is going to pay for expensive dentistry. It is numerically impossible to buy a cheap monthly policy and get thousands of dollars of dentistry for free.
The U.S. government may care about the nation's health but they care nothing about dental health in adults. Medicare pays zero for dentistry. Even for the most severe infections, there is no dental coverage. Private medical policies do not apply to dental needs either. This confusion by the public creates many problems for the dental office and patient alike.
"I have dental insurance."
This statement is different than the first one; without asking, you don't know what the patient is thinking and you will not know until you ask. The best question to ask is "and what does that mean to you?" They may say the same as above, thinking that everything will be paid for at no cost to them. They may be wondering how much insurance is going to pay, if any. They may be wanting to know how insurance is handled, whether you are on their plan or not, etc.
Since the contract is between the insurance company and the patient, only the insurance company can rightly answer the questions. Insurance is a huge, profit centered, multibillion dollar business and way too complicated for a dental office to be its spokesman. Their goal is to make money and the less they pay on a dental claim, the more they make. This reality drives a wedge between the dental office and the patient.
"What will my insurance pay?"
This question usually occurs when the patient is quoted a fee for dental procedures. It is an important question but it can never be truthfully answered by the dental office. It can only be answered by the insurance company and the contract. The contract is devised to make the company money, while providing a benefit to the patient. The benefit will never be more than premiums; simple mathematics.
While getting a "coupon" for dental work is a good thing, the bottom line is nothing is free. And no one but no one will ever, ever insure teeth. They may insure your house, car, motorcycle, etc. but never your teeth.
Dr. Mac Lee practices in Edna. He is an international speaker and trainer to dentists. He is dedicated to educate the public about dental disease. To learn more about dentistry, visit drmaclee.com or call 361-782-7191.
The greatest compliment you can give us is a recommendation to your friends and colleagues. Please feel free to share this piece with anyone you think would enjoy reading it.

Overcoming Distractions
The enemy uses many tools against us to try to distract us from God's vision for our lives. Many of us, without realizing it, have at various times been disillusioned by these lies from our enemy. We've given in to offense, people‐pleasing, self‐absorption, focus on the past, the easy road, the noise of the enemy, discouragement, the treasures of the world, reliance on our own works, or weariness. In so doing, we've lost our focus and turned our eyes from God's purpose for our lives. Thankfully, even when this happens, we can still overcome the enemy's distractions and regain our vision.
A big part of shaking free of these lies is found in the realization of our identity as those who live between two worlds. As humans in physical bodies, we live in the physical realm of earth. But, the Bible tells us we are also spiritual beings who are seated in heavenly places with Jesus (see Eph. 2:6). When we are born again, Heaven becomes our true home, yet we continue to live on earth. This position between two worlds can be incredibly powerful—if we understand its purpose and are able to see above the temporal circumstances of life on earth. However, for many of us, this goes against our natural inclinations. We have difficulty looking upward, because we are focused on what is happening all around. While it may be difficult to look at life this way, it is absolutely vital. Right now, as believers on earth, we live as light in the midst of darkness. We live as God's spiritual army on earth, here to expand His Kingdom and eventually overcome the darkness with His light and life. This is what the prophet Isaiah prophesied:
Arise [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you—rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness [all] peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you [O Jerusalem], and His glory shall be seen on you (Isaiah 60:1‐2 AMP).
God's glory is rising upon the Church, and more and more, believers are stepping into their true identity as sons and daughters of God. The Kingdom of God is expanding in the earth; approximately one‐third of the people alive on earth today are believers. Simultaneously, the darkness in the world is increasing as Satan desperately attempts to overthrow God's ever expanding Kingdom. This is the reality we live in—the dual nature of the two worlds we reside in. This should not cause us to fear or despair. Instead, we must follow Jesus' advice for hard times: "Stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near" (Luke 21:28). To do this, we must first understand our identity and calling while we live on earth.

You never know when you work outside what you will encounter: can't find shade where you want to sketch, bugs, crowds, people wanting to chit chat right when you have started to lay a critical wash down, vehicles pulling up and blocking your view, and landscaping maintenance, just to name a few. The latter was what I encountered the day this sketch was done, hedge trimmers, cherry pickers beeping, pressure washing, etc. You get the idea. That's why this one was quick and loose!

Mental Health is something I never thought to discuss on my social media platforms although it lived alive and well in my household growing up. It wasn't until my boyfriend Art lost his battle to depression in 2012 that I was forced to confront mental health and the long history that surrounded me. I seeked therapy immediately (more on my personal journey here), but it took a few years for me to really open up about my healing online and how I took control of my mental health. Although my initial purpose of going to therapy was to deal with grief, I knew a part of me was also there to learn how to interact better with those going through pain. I've always had the best intentions for those around me, but sometimes it felt like I was subconsciously attracting people who were mentally ill and I couldn't do enough to help them. It was starting to take a toll on me and affect me in ways I couldn't understand or comprehend. I just wanted to fix everyone. I wanted to help so bad, but maybe the person I should really start with was ME.
Therapy changed my life and I will continue to sing its praises to anyone that's willing to listen. I'm not a therapist or licensed mental health professional. I'm just a girl with a story looking to inspire others to begin their own healing journey. I hope the following blog post written by mental health writer and therapist, Josie Rosario can be a spark in your journey to the best you.
Mental Health Matters
Contrary to popular belief, most people can benefit from therapy at some point in their lives. You don't have to be "crazy" or on the verge of a meltdown either. Sometimes individuals are aware of the signs, and at other times, they may feel "off" but can't quite identify why.
Below are three signs that may signal it is time to see a therapist (in no particular order):
1. Increased feelings of sadness, anger or "not yourself"
Eating or sleeping more or less than usual, withdrawing from family and friends, or just feeling "off" may signal that it is time to talk to someone as serious problems can develop that impact your quality of life. If these feelings escalate to the point that you question whether life is worth living or you have thoughts of death or suicide, reach out for help right away.*
2. Something traumatic has happened to you or a loved one
Trauma is an emotional response to a deeply distressing event like an accident, divorce, or war. Two people can experience the same traumatic event and respond to it differently. When we experience trauma or support someone who has experienced trauma (i.e. first responders), it is important to develop healthy ways to cope so that it doesn't impact your life. Trauma creates fear that lingers in our subconscious that affects our decision-making among other things.
3. You have lost someone or something important to you
Grief can be a long and difficult process to endure. Having a strong support system is a great tool in addition to the help of an expert. It is common to seek help if you've experienced the loss of a loved one, a divorce or significant breakup, or the loss of a job, especially if you've experienced multiple losses in a short period of time.
*If you or anyone you know needs help and support with deep sadness, depression, and/or suicidal ideation, please know that there is help!

As someone who makes a living putting words together, it's hard to imagine distilling something as complex as a year into a single one. But I found this (at christinekane.com, through Jeri's blog), absorbed it, and decided it was something worth trying.
The gist, in case you don't want to jump around: Choose a word - just one word - as your goal for the year, instead of making the same old resolutions. Apply this word to everything you can - as Christine says, "Hold that word in your mind throughout the year, and let your word guide you to take action."
To me, the idea feels like naming something that is a common thread across many aspects of our lives. Maybe it's something we've only just aspired to; maybe it's something we keep trying to achieve and never quite feel as though we've succeeded. Maybe it's things we want to do, something we want to be, a feeling we want to express and receive.
But in any case, choosing a Word is like taking the old model of all the promises we make to ourselves and turning it inside out - getting at it from the deepest levels, instead of starting at the surface. Throughout 2008, I started the process of unearthing a lot of old, hidden things in my life in a variety of ways...and I like where it's gone so far, so the Word seems like a natural extension, maybe even the next step in my journey.
Others have chosen words like Compassion. Joy. Release. Now. Yes. There are thousands of possibilitites, each bound to mean more at the end of a year's exploration than they do at the beginning.
My word for 2009 is Motivation.
For now, it's something I keep trying to achieve and never feel as though I've fully succeeded. Maybe it's also something I need to examine when I think of the why of things I do, or don't do.
At the least, I want to use it to inspire me to get up off my rear, literally or figuratively. To do more of the things that need doing, or that I aspire to do. To do the things I already do, but better. Not just to do things. Not just to Be Motivated To.
Maybe just to Be Motivated.
I'd be honored if anyone wanted to join me (and Christine, Jeri, and a lot of other folks) in choosing a Word. Read the original post and give it some consideration. You don't have to make a quick decision; you can choose a different one later; you don't even have to tell anyone (though I'd love to hear it if you do). Just ask yourself: Where could one word take me in my life?
It's an interesting question for a writer to ask herself, at least. In 363 days, what will this one word mean to me that it didn't mean today? What will it have inspired me to achieve? How will it have changed me?
I can't wait to find out.

Happy Monday!
Back in action this week with a full week of newness for the blog :) Gonna start out today with a colorful Music Monday share!
This video?! <- Video link in case the embed below doesn't show up
I canNOT get over the overflowing amounts of awesomeness in this video! I remember seeing this for the first time a few years ago and just being in awe at the superbly matched wardrobe with the scenery and the beautiful song. I can't remember if this video was my first introduction to OK Go, or if I found it later, but I do know that it has not stopped being one of my most favorite things ever lol.
My love for color, texture, and artful coordination fuel my love for this video aaaand this beautiful work by Imani Amos from her #colorFULL #trippytriptychs project. She totally deserves her own post, but I am obligated to share these awesome images because they are so perfect and remind me of this video so that's my excuse ;)
I love that OK Go always has a creative and colorful music video to accompany their songs. Here is another one of my favorites, but (if you have time) go check out their YouTube channel and all of their awesome videos!
I say if you have time because you might just find yourself losing 20+ minutes watching videos. Some of them are downright mesmerizing… The symmetry, colors, choreography, music… everything is awesome! <- bonus points for you if you sang The Lego Movie song just then lol.
That's it for today!
I hope you enjoyed this colorful Music Monday post :) Stay tuned for Truthy Tuesday tomorrow!

It is a great leap forward - and one that was only made possible with the collaboration of a team of medical partners from the United states.
But, don't get it wrong, it was a Belize mission - and today we found out what was required to get it done - and why it matters - even if you'll never need open heart surgery:
Jules Vasquez Reporting
Dr. Bernard Bulwer - Echo-Cardiologist
"This huge undertaking of a cardiac surgery, which - in the words of CEO in the Ministry of Health, he said that he did not believe he would see the day in his lifetime, cardiac surgery in Belize at the KHMH. Now, it has happened."
And this is the team - or at least some of them that made it possible - participating in the first two open heart surgeries in Belize's history.
Dr. Francis Gary Longsworth - CEO, KHMH
"Certainly, it is cutting-edge surgery, and the surgery that was done here is no different or no less than the surgery that similar patients will get in the USA, Canada, Europe - anywhere in the world."
And anywhere in the world, it would cost about one hundred thousand US dollars - but for these first two patients, it was free.
But the real miracle is that it happened at all - the team was led by Mr. Adrian Coye:
Mr. Adrian Coye - Cardio-Thoracic Surgeon
"I trained both in Jaimaica and in the UK, and I qualified in both countries. I experienced both what it is to be pioneering already, and what it is to work with everything in place. What I did on Monday, is virtually impossible because I made these gentle folks work in 94 degree temperatures to do a case that we know had to be done, and anywhere else, they would have just cancelled the case."
But they soldiered on and pulled it off - the first surgery lasting about three hours, the second about four hours. Two history making procedures performed without a hitch by Coye with support from a team of international partners led by the legendary Dr. Francis Robicsek and assisted by Dr. Robert Stiegel, as well as a team of many others.
Open heart surgery is especially complex because - as the name implies - they have to open the heart which means stopping it - while this machine continues to feed oxygenated blood to the brain and the rest of the body:
Mr. Adrian Coye
"Open heart surgery involves making a generous incision - or in some cases, small incisions on the chest - to access the heart. The heart ailments may be variable. The valves may be tight, leaking, not working so well, or we may have blockages of blood flow to the heart muscle, of what's called the coronary vessels. We arrest the heart with a special agent, and in that light, it allows us to make incisions on the chambers, to see the valves, to take out the valves, and putting in new ones."
Dr. Bernard Bulwer
"Open-heart surgery is the only type of surgery that requires that your heart and your lungs go out of operations. That's why you have to have a heart-lung machine, and so that has been the thing that has bedeviled, or made heart surgery so challenging."
Mr. Adrian Coye
"But, to do it well, you have to have people who know what they're doing, and there is a team effort. This is what we were able to demonstrate, that by having the right people in place, the right team, then it is possible here, even at the KHMH."
And that is a theme they kept coming back to - that the high accomplishment of this surgery can be the impetus that lifts the much-battered institution out of the morass of public accusations and bad press:
Dr. Bernard Bulwer
"It is about the impact that it has on the entire institution, on the art of what is possible - on moral. The KHMH has strived - and in my recent tenure - it has strived because we said that the way to get an istitution that is beaten up, week after week in the media - the way to get an institution which has to operate on the same budget, how can we take that status quo, and take it to what we see now? It is because of the good will of the Belizean people, the good will of the international community, and the good will of everyone who has been involved. And we pray that the entire services of this institution, across the spectrum, will continue to grow, and the moral of all involved. We remember the KHMH, not for stuff which sounds juicy in the media, but for an indispensible institution, worthy of all the help and support."
Whether the surgery can transform the culture at the KHMH is left to be seen, but it can save lives:
Mr. Adrian Coye
"There are a lot of Belizeans with coronary artery disease, and you hear in the media sometimes that young professionals falling down from a massive heart attack. Now, that is treatable; that's what we're getting at, the fact is that they are treatable conditions."
But don't expect the next open heart procedure next week - we're not quite there yet:
Dr. Francis Robicsek - Chair Emeritus, Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeries
"I want to say that we are extremely lucky on one end to have a high-level trained cardio-thoracic surgeon, but you will need to fill in the holes. You need some additional training for some of the personnel, and you need personnel - especially Belizean invasive cardiologists."
Mr. Adrian Coye
"The whole purpose is not for just 2 surgeries to be done. We're saying that we're building toward having our own local team, and to be independent in our own way. But, we have a beautiful partnership that will nurture us and help us with training and all of that. Everything is a process. This is the first part - the first step, as they say in the thousand-mile journey. But we have to be responsible in the steps that we take, and we don't want to embark on something that we cannot maintain. So, every step along the way, we have to build the foundation."
And that foundation finds its cornerstone in Mr. Adrian Coye - whose vision has been realized against all odds:
Dr. Bernard Bulwer
"Dr. Coye did, in my opinion, one of the craziest things. Less than 2 years ago, he came back to Belize to start cardiac surgery, when at that time, we did not even have a proper cardiology service. We did not have the type of echo-cardiograph support, which was reliable. We did not have a cardiac catheterization laboratory. So how can you even talk about doing cardiac surgery? We have seen - because of a dream and a desire - all of the different pieces come into place."
Mr. Adrian Coye
"Yes, we rose to the challenge, and what I had to do is what I was trained to do. It was fairly straight-forward, but what was difficult was to reach that point. And that was really where you literally were carrying mountains on your shoulders, just to reach that point. To make that step - I think - took, personally, great courage for me to just say, 'Let go ahead and do this case.' I am living the dream, and I'm very honored to be here to serve my people, and I hope that this is the beginning of greater things to come."
The 86 year old Dr. Robicsek was also the one who spearheaded the donation of the Cardio-Cath Lab in February.

Heart disease is considered the number one killer in the world. And if statistics are correct, the majority of people who suffer from acute heart disease live in areas not considered to be first-world countries. Now in Belize, people who suffer from heart disease who may in the future need open heart surgery will be able to access this life-saving procedure. Today the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital held a press conference to announce that over the past week, with the assistance of a team of visiting heart specialists from North Carolina, it performed its first set of open heart surgeries on patients who ordinarily would have perished if left untreated. Chief Executive Officer at the KHMH, Dr. Gary Longsworth, told reporters how this cutting edge procedure became possible in Belize.
The surgeries were led by Dr. Francis Robicsek, a pioneer in cardiac surgery at Charlotte Memorial Hospital in North Carolina and Belizes own Cardiothoracic Surgeon Specialist at the KHMH, Dr. Adrian Coye.
The procedure is so sophisticated and enduring, that the hospital will conduct surgeries of this sort on an elective basis under normal circumstances. However, Dr. Bulwer says that it is something that people can completely avoid, if they keep a healthy diet.
Todays reality is the dream of the lat Sir Barry Bowen, who appealed on behalf of Belize to his friend, Dr. Robicsek, to bring cardiac surgery to Belize. Soon after that appeal, the KHMH received the donation of the CATH Lab, which came through the generousity of Dr. Robicsek and local donors. Since the programs inception 52 patients have received coronary angiography, which is a procedure different from open heart surgery conducted over the past week. The type of open heart surgery which would previously require Belizeans to travel abroad, costs around two hundred thousand dollars. A price has not been set for the procedure at the KHMH as yet, but as the hospital always assures, payment plans can be worked out with patients and their families. Altogether, the team that performed the first set of surgeries included eight persons, including Drs. Pedro Arriaga, Jorge Hidalgo and Bernard Bulwer.
This week marks a milestone for the medical field in Belize; the first two successful open heart surgeries were carried out at the K.H.M.H. This medical procedure is available in a limited number of countries so for Belize, its major news, particularly for patients afflicted with ailments including defective heart valves, or heart muscle blockages. This singular achievement took concerted efforts, including those of the Bowen and Bissell families, who along with foreign specialists and local doctors brought in a cath lab to Belize back in 2011. To celebrate, the K.H.M.H. called a press conference on this major feat. News Fives Andrea Polanco was there.
Andrea Polanco, Reporting
Dr. Adrian Coye, Belizean cardio thoracic surgeon, performed the first two open heart surgeries at the K.H.M.H. on Monday and Tuesday. The surgery, which would normally cost around at least one hundred thousand U.S dollars, will soon be available at the K.H.M.H. at a much affordable cost. The hospital secured a cardiac catheterization lab last year through Coyes efforts partnering with international medical teams. Coye says it marks a historic moment for the institution and Belize.
Adrian Coye
Dr. Adrian Coye, Thoracic Surgeon, K.H.M.H.
First of all its not available in most countries in the world, so Belize is very special in that it has started that journey. An open heart surgery has maybe a sixty year history where in the past, Francis himself was a pioneer, he would build his own machine and carry it in the back of the vehicle and go from hospital to hospital and the machine, which we call the heart lung machine is the back bone of the technology to allow us to do what we call open heart surgery. What I did on Monday is virtually impossible because I met these folks to work in ninety-four degrees temperature to do a case that we know that had to be done and anywhere else they wouldve just cancelled the case. Yes, we rose to the challenge and what I did was what I was trained to do. It was fairly straight forward but what was difficult was to reach that point. We know its expensive but there are other ways and short cuts that can be done more cost effectively. The bottom line is that you can give back someone the quality of their life and they can live longer and be contributing members of society.
To access that procedure, the K.H.M.H. team had been conducting screening for the past two years. Two persons, listed as moderate risk patients, a seventy-three and fifty six year old underwent the open heart surgery which required one or more incisions made on the chest to access the heart. The first surgery was four hours long and the second one took three hours, along with a team of about twelve to sixteen medics. The cardiac surgeries were successful.
Dr. Adrian Coye,
We did the first patient, was a coronary by-pass grafting or as we say in colloquial terms, cabbage; and I did a three vessel by-pass graft for that patient and he had the narrowing of blood vessels that fed the heart muscles. Now, it means that if he wanted to walk up the steps, or go for a walk, he has angina; chest pains and he cant go to work. He is seventy two and complains that he cant be working because everywhere he goes he has pain in his chest. The second patient that we did had a mitrol valve replacement because she had a background history of rheumatic heart disease; her valve became very tight over time and also regurgitant that means it doesnt close very fully and that caused severe changes. In fact she was living in the Lions Club for the last two being so afraid to go home because of the shortness of breath symptomatic all hours of the night and she desperately needed to have her surgery done.
The surgeries were done through the assistance of specialists from North Carolina, including, Dr. Francis Robicsek and eight other team members.
Francis Robicsek
Dr. Francis Robicsek, Chair Emeritus, Dept. Cardio Vascular Thoracic Surgeries
I want to reiterate that this whole thing started with Barry Bowen and ended up with Dr. Coye. I shouldnt say ended up because as he said, this is just the beginning. Its not only the beginning of Cardiac surgery but its the beginning and continuation of our friendship. We are extremely proud of him and it was an honour for us to participate and thank you for letting us be here.
Robert Stiegel, Cardio Thoracic Surgeon
Robert Stiegel
This has been quite a journey and we certainly appreciate the opportunity to participate in this. The folks that came with me volunteered their time and energy and resources to come down here with us to do this and I would like to thank them from the bottom of my heart and Darren, thank you. It was well-worth it.
With the increase in coronary artery and rheumatic diseases, Dr. Coye says that they can now do much for those patients.
Dr. Adrian Coye
There are lots of Belizeans with coronary artery disease; you hear about young professionals in their forties dropping down and dying from a massive heart attack, now that is treatable and that is what we are trying to get at. The fact is that they are treatable conditions. We have patients in their twenties who die from Rheumatic heart disease who die at a young age again from the valves that change and open heart surgery can deal with those issues.
Dr. Bernard Bulwer, who is now an associate professor at a U.S medical school, and former director of medical services at the K.H.M.H., says that the giant effort of Dr. Coye and all partners, made what seemed like the impossible, possible.

Dr. Bernard Bulwer, Former D.M.S., K.H.M.H./Professor, Cardiovascular
Dr. Coye did, in my opinion, one of the craziest things. Less than two years ago he came back to Belize to start cardiac surgery, when at that time we did not even have a cardiology, a proper cardiology service. We did not have the kind of eco-cardiography support which was reliable. We did not have a cardiac catheterization laboratory. So how can you even talk about doing cardiac surgery? There was opposition to the cardiac cath lab coming here and I dont know if we say these words in the media but I said, hell no. It came and then the rest started falling into place. I am totally grateful and I make it public, Dr. Coye who is an officer and a gentleman and quite docile, he teared up last night and thats an understatement, because we saw people right in front of our eyes, a particular patient died simply because we did not have the tools in place to save that that womans life.
Since the start of K.H.M.H.s cardiac program, fifty two patients have received coronary angiography; x-ray images to show the insides of the coronary arteries. Reporting for News Five, Im Andrea Polanco.
According to Dr. Adrian Coye, heart patients will be evaluated and surgery will be scheduled based on urgency and the availability of the U.S. team.

The Power of Less
As you most likely well know, the idea and practice of Minimalism is growing rapidly. There are blogs about it everywhere. People are making careers out of it, like The Minimalists, designers and builders of tiny houses, books like "the life-changing magic of tidying up", by Marie Kondo and "Essentialism", by Greg McKeown. Joshua Becker points out on his blog that there are many reasons why it's growing in popularity. I personally resonate with this thought: "As our world continues to grow in complexity, there is far greater personal demand for many of the benefits that minimalism offers. Minimalism offers a life with less stress, less distraction, more freedom, and more time. All things that people today are desperately searching for more than ever."
I had my first experience with minimalism while visiting my grandmother's house as a child. I loved MaMaw's house. It was always clean and tidy. I used to think the house was way too big for just my grandparents, but looking back on it, it was only a one-story, 2-bedroom, 2-bath house. No garage, just a covered carport. But the house felt big. I clearly remember how much I loved looking in her closets and cabinets because they were so open. There were things stored in them, but there was lots of room, too. I didn't know why I loved that then, but I now I see it was because of how it made me feel. There was a sense of calm and power, almost a reverence to everything. Having just a few towels in a cabinet made them feel more special. And in a way, I felt special taking one out and using it.
Her son—my dad—also leaned towards this way of living. According to him "there is a place for everything and everything in its place." I didn't take much to the concept then, but, now I see the freedom that living that way allowed. We always knew where the scissors or the rake was. We didn't have to spend entire weekends cleaning up the garage or the attic or the basement.
I'm finding myself really drawn to this whole idea of minimalism. I've been in the process of looking at my life and finding where I've accumulated clutter and baggage. Physically, emotionally and spiritually, I am beginning to move things that just don't matter and get in the way. And, I've recommitted to applying this to my painting process, too. Paring things down to just a few different things in a painting that I really like feels better to me. It brings clarity and that feels more potent to me. And, it can actually be easier. Finding balance with just 1-3 things is a whole lot easier than trying it with 8 or 9. And the more distractions I clear out of the way, the more time and focus I have to paint.
As The Minimalists say "...we focus on making room for more: more time, more passion, more experiences, more growth, more contribution, more contentment. More freedom. Clearing the clutter from life's path helps us make that room." And to that, I say "ahhhh".
What experiences have you had with creating focus on what you really love?
In gratitude,

A group of teens by the bonfire as the sun gets ready to go down at 9PM.
The blue tent where services are held.
Getting ready to sing a song.
Finally---a nice blurry photo. He takes after his Dad.
We went to visit the German Teen Camp last Sunday. It was an easy 1 hour 20 minute ride to Braunschweig where we were met by Pastor Victor and his wife Ute. He is German, but from Argentina (lots of German immigrants to Argentina), so the bulk of the day was spent speaking in Spanish. I have loved that about Germany. This language I never get to speak is suddenly everywhere. Victor and Ute are absolutely wonderful and I always feel very at home at their place.
After lunch we drove by the camp for 9-12 year olds. It was out in the German woods, but the whole thing was built to look like an old Western town, complete with saloon and jail and all of that. It was so cute. The kids and counselors are camping out in the Wild Wild West.
From there we went to the Teen Camp where I got to re-connect with a lot of the teens, college kids, and seminary students I have become friends with over the past 4 years in Germany. They still remember all the stories I told when I have spoken to them on previous visits. It's amazing. I'll see many of these kids in September and October when I attend some upcoming conferences. That will be great. We've invited them all to stay with us in Berlin anytime they want. Our home will be very open to youth.
Marco had a blast playing with the kids---getting soaked---and enjoying nature. He was pretty sad to have to leave the camp behind. I think he is very ready to be settled and have friends to play with. Poor guy. Always stuck with Mom and Dad.
The drive out to the camp was lovely. The roads in the country were so gorgeous---the classic European scenery. I was salivating at the thought of being able to drive up and down the roads of Germany, France, Switzerland and Austria in the coming year. That will be awesome.
Jael--our Berlin intern for the summer of 2010 has been helping at the camp and did an awesome job. Everyone loved her. Unfortunately, today is her last day. We will be taking her out for a farewell dinner about an hour from now. I know she is very sad to say goodbye to this awesome place with all the great people--and we are sad to see her go as well. It won't be the same without her. Oh well---Jael, you are always welcome back.

Going out with the Girls is so much fun. Keep it that way – and safe – with great girlfriend advice.
But have you ever had that weird "feeling" as you were walking through a parking lot alone late at night? It's not that something is really wrong, you are just really, really glad to lock the doors once you get back to your own car!
September is a special month around Girlfriendology – it's International Women's Friendship Month (aka: #FriendshipMonth) and we're celebrating with 30 great guest blogs filled with fabulous girlfriend advice and wisdom. Today we have great girlfriend advice from guest blogger STEPH STASZKO who shares some great advice on ways to make sure your fun girlfriend evenings always have happy endings:
A girls' night out can be so much fun and an excellent chance to socialize with some of your closest girlfriends. It can also, however, be a haven for thieves and sexual predators who prey on vulnerable women. The effects of alcohol can vary throughout the night; you've probably seen one of your friends going from wildly dancing and having the time of their lives on the dance floor to crying their eyes out for no reason at all. Often, excessive consumption can leave people with no ability to control their actions and no recollection of it in the morning—this is why girls are more likely to be taken advantage of during or after drinking.
Being well prepared and practicing good safety awareness on a night out can help to reduce the likelihood of you or your GNO (Girls' Night Out) friends becoming a victim to one of the many opportunist criminals that roam the streets searching for women.
Before You Leave Your Home
Before leaving for a night out there are some things to consider which can improve the evening for you and your friends. Booking a cab for the outbound journey is an obvious task, but many ladies don't book one for the return ride. Some taxis may look legitimate but the driver may be mimicking a taxi driver in order to lure women in. Booking a taxi for a set time before you leave the house is important—the time can always be altered later on by a phone call to the taxi service if you're having a really good night and don't want to leave. This prevents wandering the streets late at night and can even help to keep all your friends together in the same place.
On Your Night Out
Although you may not want to stay with everyone for the duration of the night, never wander around alone. If you're in a large group of friends you should always look out for each other; never leave a club without knowing the whereabouts of one of your friends. If they return to the bar and realize you're not there they can end up in a potentially dangerous situation.
Some men offer lifts to women who have lost their friends. This person needn't be a stranger; even accepting a lift off an acquaintance could lead to sinister consequences. This is why ensuring you have enough money to pay for your own taxi is essential to prevent finding yourself in a vulnerable situation and relying on people you vaguely know.
Mixing alcohol and drugs on a night out can be a lethal combination. Drug possession on a night out can lead to being arrested and even tried in court, requiring the assistance of solicitors (lawyers). In worst case scenarios they can leave you hospitalized and fighting for your life.
Drink "spiking" is an incredibly dangerous and (sadly) popular method of increasing someone's vulnerability. This is where someone puts a substance of either alcohol or drugs into your drink in order to magnify the effects of alcohol. The "spiker" can then take advantage of the victim in their vulnerable state. If you leave your drink unattended whilst on a night out you're putting yourself at higher risk of being spiked. If you need to go to the toilet leave your drink with one of your girlfriends—never with a stranger you've just met!
On Your Way Home
If you do end up traveling home alone, make sure you have someone you can update on your journey who can check that you get home safely. You should inform them of the taxi number, company, driver ID, and brief description of the car. Alerting them when you are on your way home gives them an idea of what time to expect you home. That way, if anything happens the police can be informed sooner rather than later.
The key points to remember when going on a girls' night out are to avoid excessive drinking, look out for yourself and your friends, and don't be too trusting of strangers. If someone seems too kind to be true, they probably are.
Written by STEPHANIE STASZKO on behalf of Gray and Co Solicitors who offer legal advice on many areas of criminal law.

Weeks after the BJP lost two crucial by-elections in Karnataka, the party is not exactly comporting itself with politically correct behavior. Two rival camps, each headed by a formidable leader, have asked party president Amit Shah to penalize the other.
- Clash in Karnataka between BJP's Yeddyurappa and Eshwarappa
- Yeddyurappa accused of being dictatorial as BJP president in the state
- He says rival Eshwarappa's frequent conclaves are "anti-party"
Karnataka will elect its new government next year. The BJP hopes to displace the Congress to reclaim the only southern state it has ever governed. BS Yeddyurappa, 73, who has a considerable mass following and the support of his powerful and wealthy Lingayat community, has been declared the presumptive Chief Minister.
"We can live with all that, but not his dictatorial approach," said KS Eshwarappa, who has emerged as Mr Yeddyurappa's most senior in-house critic. At a meeting in Bengaluru today, he said, "When Amit Shah declared Yeddyurappa as the party president and the next Chief Minister, we were happy, but if you (Yeddyurappa) act as you want, we can't sit quietly."
The genesis of the conflict lies in Mr Yeddyurappa allegedly overlooking long-term party workers - including Mr Eshwarappa - for important party positions while favouring his own loyalists.
The convention was an "anti-party activity" concluded Mr Yeddyurappa and warned of consequences. "We are bringing everything to the notice of the party central leadership. They are also taking note of it and they will take an appropriate decision," he said.
One of his supporters was reportedly pushed when he spoke in favour of Mr Yeddyurappa at the gathering today.
The BJP won Karnataka in 2008 but its term was stained by corruption scandals involving Mr Yedduyrappa, who was forced to step down as Chief Minister, after which he founded his own party. It failed to have any impact and he returned to the BJP ahead of the national election in 2014 with the guarantee that he would be its main man.
Mr Eshwarappa, who derives his power as a leader of the Kuruba backward caste, founded in December what he described as an apolitical forum to unite Dalits and backward classes - a politically crucial coalition - and held conclaves in different parts of the state, declaring this would boost the party's popularity, though it also helped him to assert himself. Mr Yeddyurappa promptly asked leaders who joined these meetings to explain their participation.
In January, Mr Shah summoned the rivals to Delhi and asked them to make nice.
"You call us anti-party or whatever you want, but our blood won't change... we will not go to any one at any cost, we will not join another party or form another party," said Mr Eshwarappa, indicating he is not threatening to split the party.

Biado and Garcia booked the final clash after dispatching Wu Kun Lin of Taiwan and Klenti Kaci of Albania in their respective semifinals.
"I'm very happy. It's been a very long time but finally, I reached the final and also won the trophy. I want to thank my family and my friends for being my inspiration. I was a little bit jittery in the semis, but playing in the final was less of pressure for me," said Biado.
"The position of the balls, for the most part of the game, was a bit easier for me in the final. I played against a worthy opponent who has fantastic breaks. My plan is to go back to the Philippines and celebrate the victory before preparing for the China Open."
Meanwhile, it was decided that Qatar will host the next four editions of the tournament after the hosting agreement was renewed on Thursday.

About LTPD
From BC Soccer:
Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) is a CSA soccer-specific adaptation of the Long-Term Athlete Development model (LTAD) developed by Canadian Sport Centres. LTAD is a scientific model for periodized athlete training and development that respects and utilizes the natural stages of physical, mental, and emotional growth in athletes. Like the LTAD program, LTPD is designed to:
1. Promote lifelong enjoyment of physical activity.
2. Provide a structured player development pathway.
3. Describe best practices for elite player development.
4. Create long-term excellence.
LTPD Information:
LTPD is a program for soccer player development, training, competition, and recovery based on biological age (i.e. physical maturity) rather than chronological age. It is player centred, coach driven, and administration, sport science, and sponsor supported.
• Eliminates gaps in the player development system.
• Guides planning for optimal athlete performance at all stages.
• Provides a framework for program alignment and integration, from volunteer club coaches to national and professional teams.
• Follows scientific principles and practical coaching experiences.
Benefits for players & parents:
• Better understanding of what makes a good soccer program.
• More players learning at their level and having fun.
• Appropriate game and league structures (e.g. size of balls, goals, field etc.).
• More opportunity for players to realize their athletic potential.
• More coaches who are knowledgeable in leading safe, effective practices.
Benefits for coaches & clubs:
• Information and education on effective coaching and practice methods.
• Guidelines for appropriate game structures.
• Guidelines on appropriate competition levels.
• Established pathways for player development for all levels of ability and ambition.
• Affirmation of best practices for coaches and club administrators.
Benefits for all:
• Competitive behaviour is fostered in players, while over-competitive behaviour is discouraged in adults (e.g. coaches and parents).
• Players, parents, coaches, and administrators understand that players are unique and therefore different in interest and aptitude.
• Players stay involved in the sport throughout their lives (as players, coaches, referees or club administrators).
• Soccer grows, and lifelong wellness is promoted for players of all ages, genders, and levels of ability and disability.
The Canadian Soccer LTPD model, Wellness to World Cup is designed to optimize Canadian excellence and lifelong wellness through soccer. By ensuring fun playing experiences for children, a suitable player development pathway for youth and opportunities for lifelong participation for all players regardless of age, gender, ability or disability, LTPD provides a framework for the growth of the beautiful game in Canada.
