It used to be believed that neuroplasticity only occurred during critical periods in childhood. While it's true that plastic change happens much easier in childhood, your brain is capable of making alterations until the day you die. Harnessing the process of neuroplasticity in adulthood isn't quite as simple as some of the neuro-hype would have us think, but it can be accomplished under specific circumstances. Continue reading.

Protection > Edit Anti-Spam Policy > Spam Action
This topic only applies to Exchange Online Protection (EOP) customers. Exchange Online customers do not need to run these commands.
The default anti-spam action for EOP customers is to move spam messages to the recipients' Junk Email folder. In order for this action to work with on-premises mailboxes, you must configure two Exchange Transport rules on your on-premises Edge or Hub servers to detect spam headers added by EOP. These Transport rules will set the SCL used by the SclJunkThreshold property (of the Set-OrganizationConfig cmdlet) to move spam into the Junk Email folder of each mailbox. To add these transport rules, you must run the following cmdlets.
These steps assume that the SclJunkThreshold property (of the Set-OrganizationConfig cmdlet) has a value of 4. If this value is changed to a value above 6, such as 7 or 8, the SetScl value in the following cmdlets must be set to 9. For more information about how different SCL ratings are interpreted by the service, see Spam confidence levels.
Access the Exchange Management Shell for your on-premises Exchange server. For information about accessing and using the Shell with Exchange 2013, see Using PowerShell with Exchange 2013 (Exchange Management Shell).
Run the following command to route content-filtered spam to the Junk Email folder:
New-TransportRule "NameForRule" -HeaderContainsMessageHeader "X-Forefront-Antispam-Report" -HeaderContainsWords "SFV:SPM" -SetSCL 6
Run the following command to route messages marked as spam prior to reaching the content filter to the Junk Email folder:
New-TransportRule "NameForRule" -HeaderContainsMessageHeader "X-Forefront-Antispam-Report" -HeaderContainsWords "SFV:SKS" -SetSCL 6
If you do not want to use the Move message to Junk Email folder action, you may choose another action by editing your content filter policies in the Exchange admin center. For more information, see Configure your spam filter policies.

I went to see a mindfulness and meditation trainer several months ago. I consulted with her about the link between mindfulness and smell training, and I will discuss more about that in another post. She asked me this interesting question: what is the one thing that you think helped you the most in your smell training and recovery?
It was a good question with a lot of answers. I suppose I could say it was getting the habit that helped. Or setting myself challenges. Or perhaps finding a way that I could judge whether or not I was making progress (all of these things contributed). But the real answer that underlies all these things is simple: thinking about smell.
As I considered this, I realised that thinking about smell is something that happens on so many levels. There is scientific evidence to suggest that just *thinking* about lemons for instance fires the same parts of your brain as if you were *smelling or tasting* a lemon. That is a very powerful notion, because those with smell loss will have fewer signals going to the part of their brain that governs olfaction, and these will eventually become dormant through underuse. The thinking may therefore in itself be a therapy.
So thinking about smell is so important, both in a general sense and when you are training. Smell training needs to be done with your full attention, and when you smell something, you really need to "peer down into it". I have had to start using this expression because I can't think of a better way to put it. Smells you are training with need examining closely. You need to linger there and wait for things to develop. If you take a whiff and don't experience anything, linger longer. Go "looking" for that smell.
A great way to focus on the character of something you are trying to understand smell-wise is to smell things in threes. I try to do this as often as I can. You've seen the photograph heading this blogpost, but I encourage you to try things in threes that interest you. Maybe you should be comparing different kinds of crisps. Or juices. Or different kinds of honey. Or nuts. Try each one and then switch back and forth--either smelling or tasting. Keep swapping around and look for the subtle differences between the two. Maybe there aren't any for you. But even if you don't immediately see the difference, you will have spent a few minutes looking, and that is the most important part of the exercise.

Odd SympathyThe phrase "odd sympathy" was coined by Dutch mathematician and physicist Christiaan Huygens to describe the tendency of two pendulums mounted on the same beam to end up swinging in exactly opposite directions. Huygens, the inventor of the pendulum clock, at first attributed the effect to air currents, but he dismissed this hypothesis himself after performing several tests. His later hypothesis—confirmed centuries later by Georgia Institute of Technology researchers—attributed it to what? More...

Leiden Day (2018)In 1573, the Dutch city of Leiden (or Leyden) was besieged by the Spaniards. Thousands were dying from disease and hunger; finally, the river dikes were cut so that the Dutch army could sail in over the flooded fields and save the city. According to legend, the first person to emerge from the besieged city on October 3 was a young orphan boy. In the deserted Spanish camp, he discovered a huge pot of stew that was still hot. Known as Hutspot met Klapstuk, the mixture of meat and vegetables is still served on this day, along with bread and herring. More...

Muhammad Ali became famous by taunting his opponents and bragging about his own abilities, which eventually gained him a title fight against heavyweight champion Sonny Liston in 1964, according to About.com. Ali, known as Cassius Clay then, beat Liston and went on to be heavyweight champion for three years.
Ali continued his rise to fame for his actions outside the boxing ring. Once he became heavyweight champion, he changed his name and announced that he had joined the controversial Nation of Islam, according to About.com. When Ali was drafted in 1967, he declined to serve and was convicted of draft evasion. Following the conviction, Ali was stripped of his championship title and banned from boxing for more than three years.

Southwest Accused of Discrimination After Muslim Man Removed From Plane
A Muslim man was removed from a Southwest airlines flight earlier this year, after a fellow passenger overheard him speaking in Arabic on his mobile phone.
Khairuldeen Makhzoomi, 26, was on a plane at Los Angeles International Airport when he was escorted off by authorities and questioned, according to a discrimination complaint filed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) this week.
The passenger who reported him claimed that he was using words in connection to martyrdom, but Makhzoomi maintains that he used the word "inshallah," a common phrase in Arabic meaning "God willing."
Makhzoomi is an Iraqi refugee who lived under the oppressive regime of Saddam Hussein and was granted political refugee status in 2010, The Independent reported.
Makhzoomi was returning from an event where he heard U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon speak and called his uncle to tell him about the experience. A fellow passenger overheard him use the phrase "inshallah" and reported him to the flight crew. He was then detained by the FBI and questioned over his "martyrdom."
The local chapter of CAIR filed the complaint with the Department of Transportation, alleging discrimination and requesting a federal investigation into the incident.
"Worse than the inconvenience, Southwest Airlines humiliated Mr. Makhzoomi when the company unreasonably singled him out and removed him from his flight in front of fellow passengers. As a common carrier, Southwest Airlines is legally obligated to safely carry all individuals who are rightfully present in an equal and nondiscriminatory manner," reads an excerpt from the complaint.
In addition to an investigation, CAIR is asking the Transportation Department to hold Southwest " accountable for their actions against Mr. Makhzoomi."
"We regret any less than positive experience a Customer has on Southwest," Southwest said in a statement. "Southwest neither condones nor tolerates discrimination of any kind."
A Southwest spokesperson told Travel + Leisure in an email that it was the content and not the language of Makhzoomi's conversation that disturbed the other passenger.

A pressure pool cleaner or pressure side pool cleaner is designed to operate using forced water created by the existing pool water pump that circulates water throughout your pool. The forced water is channeled to the cleaner either through a dedicated line that runs from a booster pump or is channeled off of the return line of the pool circulation system.
The main advantage of this type of cleaner is that they distribute the clean, filtered, water around your pool. This increases circulation and improves overall health of your salt water pool. Another advantage is that they are equipped with their own vacuum bag that collects dirt and debris, which improves cleanliness and also lightens the load on your filter.
If you have the ability to run a cleaner from your pressure line and your pump is capable of creating enough pressure, this type of cleaner can be effective and energy efficient. The amount of suction will depend on the size of the pump and cleanliness of your filter system. There are models of pressure cleaners that are designed to work with lower pressure - ideal for existing pool pumps. A pressure cleaner designed to work with a booster pump requires about 30 psi and the low pressure cleaners work on as little as 15 psi.
The advantage of running your cleaner from a separate booster pump is that you will always maintain constant pressure and you won't have to depend on your existing circulation system. They can be automated on a timer that coordinates with your pump or when your pool is not in use.
The pressure from your existing pool pump or a separate pool booster pump generates the power to operate the cleaner. Some of the pressure is diverted and used to propel the cleaner around your pool in a random pattern and stir debris up from your pool bottom. The rest of the pressure is used to create a vacuum that sucks dirt and debris into the attached collection bag. Like any vacuum cleaner, the bag has to be emptied when it's full to ensure vacuum efficiency.
It's important to consider the required pressure for different models. Some will operate effectively using the pressure from your pool system while others require added pressure that can only be produced by a separate pool booster pump. If there isn't enough pressure, a cleaner is very ineffective.

I flew from Washington,DC. to London with Virgin Atlantic Upper Class and stayed at the Crown Plaza St.James over the weekend prior to sailing. We (my darling Aunt and I)have made our own arrangements for this.On Monday the 30th of October we set off from London Waterloo on Southwest Trains at 10.39am enroute to Southampton where we arrived at 12.15pm. From Southampton central station we took a taxi to the Mayflower terminal (this was a short notice change from Cunard)where we checked in after an approximate 30 minute wait in line.We were greeted by the staff on deck three and escorted to our stateroom 5230, to our super surprise this was an outside cabin with balcony (we actually had booked a inside). Our Cabin Steward Eric was already waiting for us, as was our luggage and several bottles of Champagne,Sparkling Wine and Wine. After getting over the excitement of the cabin, we wanted to first check our restaurant seating and went straight to the Britannia Dining Room.We had requested a table for 2 for the early seating at 6pm, however I noticed that we were to sit on a table for 8. After speaking to the Maitre D' this was quickly changed and we were assigned table 52 on deck 2. Now it was time to book a table for Todd English as everyone had advised me to do as early as possible, so we opted to dine there on the "informal" night on Thursday. I also booked Spa treatments for my Aunt and myself for the following days. After all the arranging it was time for some refreshments and as our charming and very efficient cabin steward Eric had told us we went to deck 7,the Kings Court for some light refreshments. After unpacking and changing it was time at 5pm for the emergency drill and after this we set sail promptly at 6pm. We did not attend the cocktail party on deck 12 but opted to enjoy a few glasses of champagne before taking our seats for dinner. To not stretch this review to long I will now give an overview of our experiences: Britannia Dining Room Table 52: Our Waiter Nened, Junior Waiter Jason and Sommelier Pol were at all times extremely courteous,accommodating and helpful.We dined at the Britannia every evening with the exception of Thursday when we dined at Todd English. The food for Dinner in general and I say this from a hoteliers background was,just as I expected it, standard banquet food but nothing special and on several occasions it lacked taste,finesse and the portions (especially the main course) should be smaller. Also one normally one would not hurry 3 or 4 courses in 45 minutes.As I said before I did NOT expect any superlative dishes, however more consistency and flavor would help. Breakfast and Lunch in the Britannia is a different experience as one has not the usual table. Staff seem totally de-motivated, coffee tastes awful, and again on several occasions tasteless food and extremely slow service. Todd English: As I mentioned earlier,I had made bookings immediately as I was advised that it would be booked quickly.We arrived at 6.30pm and were greeted by the Maitre D', the restaurant was at this time only used by two other couples and it did not fill to more then 8 tables throughout the evening. Our waitress Anneke was delightful and very knowledgeable about the menu. I can highly recommend the Potatoe Love Letters (if you love truffles), this dish actually gave me goose bumps because of it's delightful taste!For desert the Fallen Chocolate Cake was Divine! Again even here all dishes are supersized and I think less is more. Overall it was a wonderful experience and the $30.00 surcharge is rectified. Kings Court Lunch: This area leaves a lot to be desired, but not the food but the organization (if you don't like to wait in line I advise to go at 11am or later after 2pm). The Carvery offers delicious meats, Lotus tasty stir fry's and La Piazza Italian dishes and deserts.Chefs Galley does delectable sandwiches and fresh burgers.I very much enjoyed taking Breakfast there as one has a choice and doesn't need to take full sizes of everything, although on several occasions the "regular" coffee machines did not work. If you are looking for a midnight snack,BAD LUCK unless you count Hot Dogs,Burgers and Frozen Pizza as your staple foods!This needs strong improvement! Afternoon Tea: The Queens Room is rather a let down, first of all it is a hurried affair( and this is the opposite of what afternoon tea is supposed to be->relaxing)there are no individual pot's of tea (just 1 kind from tea bags)waiters just race around and give you whatever they have on their trays.The better option I found is having tea on deck 7 in the Lotus section. Yes, it is self service, however the selection is nicer, you can sit by a window and really relax! Golden Lion Pub: Probably the best fish and chips & minted peas I have ever had (and I had many of those).Really very delicious "Pub Dishes" again GO EARLY, before the "Trivia" or entertainment starts. CANYON RANCH SPA: A must for everyone seeking relaxation and needing a little TLC, the Canyon Ranch Massage with Joseph is fantastic and the best in the world (go for 80minutes not 50 as this will not be enough to relax) and the Ayuverda Treatment is also very good. The Spa facilities are immaculate and good value for money, also try to avoid the first two days as there will be guided tours and show rounds for all the other passengers.I still give this a 5* as it is a great place to really unwind. The Library & Bookshop: I have visited the library frequently and there are free copies of the London Times,Frankfurter Allgemeine and the Wall Street Journal available (to read there) as well as a selection of up to date magazines and probably the best selection of books anywhere at sea! The Commodore Club:I visited several times, mainly to joins the "Friends of Dorothy" meetings, however this seemed a rather excluding group so I enjoyed my afternoon tiple by myself and again the staff especially John the Steward were superb. Entertainment: This is where I rank the QM2 superior to anything else, as nothing is a must but everything they offer is of superior quality and worth ones time. Oxford Lectures are a wonderful way to spend time learning or refreshing ones memory. Especially the lectures by Sir John Johnson and Dr. Angus Hawkins as well as Dr.Lucy Worsley. RADA: A team of superb and charming young RADA graduates who gave refreshing performances of Shakespeare,Oscar Wilde and a Poetry reading. Pianist Adam Johnson: I attended 2 wonderful concerts by this young pianist and the audience and myself were delighted. Royal Court Theatre: We saw the Rock at the Opera and Appasionata Shows, which were produced to the highest standards and I actually enjoyed them (although I tend to go only for more serious classical music). Casino: Supernice and helpful staff and it was fun loosing a few $$$ at the Roulette table and I have no regrets! Illuminations:We went to see several Planetarium presentations for which I advise you to get tickets EARLY (9am)as they go fast! The Cruise Director Allistair Greener is very charming and himself quite an entertainer. Religious: There is a daily Catholic Mass held in Illuminations and on Saturdays one for Sunday obligation, there is also a Sabbath Service on Friday afternoon. I found this very nice, but was wondering why there is no C of E Vicar, as the majority of passengers is British. To wrap up I would like to say that for me this trip was thoroughly enjoyable and it was everything I expected. I will do it again as soon as possible (time allowing)and can highly recommend it to everyone. One personal note I would like to make is that I wished all passengers should be more geared towards the "dress code", I did see an awful lot of Bathrobes (even Pajamas) in the Kings Court and people in track suits or just jeans in the evening. Now I do not want sound pompous of like stiff upper lip, but I actually planned my wardrobe 6 month ahead and gentleman,one does only need one Dinner Suit and 4 Shirts and a Club Jacket for all other occasions. I hope you all enjoyed this!Feedback & Questions are welcome! Read Less

What is Kimono Hijab?
Kimono of WATASI JAPAN hijab is made from vintage kimono. Overseas, it is called "kimono" but Japanese prints and something like kimono which is not kimono are used. In WATASI JAPAN, I am manufacturing a kimono hijab using vintage kimono that has been used since long ago in Japan.
Kimono hijab manufacturing process
1. I am using a real vintage kimono.
2. It is a silk material.
· "Antibacterial action" It prevents the propagation of the bacteria on its own, it also has a deodorizing effect.
· 'Skin touch of unique smoothness of silk'
- "Skin-friendly" Silk made from protein containing amino acids is close to human skin
· "Excellent hygroscopicity, moisture release" Because it has more water absorption and moisture release than cotton, even if you sweat it absorbs water.You can spend refreshingly even in areas where perspiration is easy.
· "UV cut" Protect your skin from hot sunlight.
· Because silk products are weak to water, it is difficult to wash, but silk has its own antibacterial effect, so normal care can be dealt with only in the shade.
3. There are only one clothes in the world Hijab
Kimono of WATASI JAPAN Hijab is made by reproducing genuine kimono. There is only one in the world , you can enjoy kimono hijab.
4. Hearing Muslim people and developing products
At WATASI JAPAN, we are developing products under the cooperation of mosques and Muslims from various countries in Japan. It is safe and perfect for souvenirs for Muslim people.
5. Kimono The hijab is a silk product, so it is difficult to wrinkle.
There are some cocoons that are used for vintage kimono, which are almost not made from Japanese cocoons at present. Japanese cocoons are more difficult to wrinkle than the current overseas cocoons, and they are characterized by unique smoothness and tension.
6. Ideal for topicality as a souvenir for overseas!
Kimono which is a symbol of Japanese culture is outstanding topical. Ideal for souvenirs of friends and business partners
is. Kimono Various patterns are given to hijab. The meaning is put in each one of that pattern.
For example)
The form of divergence represents the development and prosperity wisdom.
Because it is evergreen, it shows the meaning of longevity.
I think that it will become a wonderful Japanese gift that can feel caring by selecting a kimono hijab and superimposing a message put in the kimono pattern and a message to the person to be presented.
Where can I buy Kimono Hijab?
It sells at WATASI JAPAN shop site and Tokyo jermy.
Dealer information
Until kimono hijab is made (work process)
2. Carefully unravel the kimono one by one.
3. Make the cutting manually.
4. We will sew with carefully sewing staff.
5. Take meter reading.
6. Wash the product with ozone, pack it and ship it.
※ paulownia box is sold separately.
Because clouds brings rain that will make big harvest.
As a pattern, cloud believed can brings good things.
And has meaning may a lot of good things comes like
a rain that pured by the clouds.

General Motors is hoping that leasing will experience an uptake so that customer retention improves and dealers' supplies of recent-model used cars will expand. In a conference call last week, U.S. sales chief Kurt McNeil said that GM is "most excited" about the leasing aspect. He added that its number of lessees continues to increase, particular in the fourth quarter when many lessees are returning.
On the other hand, Cadillac will be offering lease deals on selected 2013 models through September, according to Don Johnson, vice president of Chevrolet sales and service.
The reason why dealers, manufacturers and auto lenders want lease customers to increase is their intense loyalty (compared to customers who purchased using cash or via loan) and the probability that they will lease another vehicle with the same brand. McNeill admitted that the company is excited about retention and that off-lease cars will boost dealers' supply of almost-new used cars.
He also said that traditional finance customers tend to come back and choose an older vehicle. According to the Power Information Network, there are estimated to be 1.7 million vehicles coming off lease in 2013 nationwide. This is 35% higher than 2012 (with the addition of 447,000 units). Starting in 2010, the number of new leases has gradually rebounded.
GM officials hope to attain "competitive" levels of lease penetration. For the second quarter, leasing made up about 20% of GM's U.S. sales volume while the industry recorded 24% (excluding GM). GM provides leases via captive finance company GM Financial, Ally Financial Inc. and U.S. Bank. [source: automotive news - sub. required]

Six Rules For Your Web Site
1.Say What You Do. No rule is as important as this one, yet it is abused frequently among the online manufacturing community. List your core competencies, specialties, product lines, past project successes, and whatever else that differentiates you from the competition, and do it well.
2.Make Your Site RFQ-Strong. It simply isn't enough to use e-mail or phone contacts to get prospects connected to your business. Support your Sales/Request-For-Quote processes through file transfer and other tools. Give prospects a reason to contact you to find out what you can do for them.
3.Use Graphics Well. Sure, you should be proud of your equipment. But remember that most buyers either already know what a Haas, a Mazak or a Mori look like, or they don't care. It's about what you do, not what you have. (See rule 1.) Instead, focus first on graphics that show examples of your work, show your prowess in making complex products efficiently, and adequately portray your skills.
4.Corporate Information. Corporate info should be secondary. Sure, it can be important to some visitors, but, in terms of your site's strength, job openings, directions and the company history are secondary to educating prospects about what you do.
5.Lose The Flash. You've no doubt seen those introductory splash screens on plenty of Web sites. They're often animated, flashy and, to research-minded manufacturing prospects, annoying as heck. Ask yourself, if they're that useful, why do they all have a "skip intro" option? If you have one, kill it. If you don't, don't make one.
6.Meta Tags & Robots. As search engines become more efficient and effective at automatically indexing sites via "robots" and "spiders," sound use of keywords and meta tags will become more important. You don't have to be a Webmaster to manipulate these features to your advantage. For more, visit www.searchenginewatch.com/webmasters/meta.html or searchengineforums.com.
Focusing on these guidelines can improve your Web site's effectiveness in serving the manufacturing markets and properly marketing yourself to Web-enabled purchasing prospects.

Breaking soul ties. We did it. We tried it. It didn't work. Then we shoved our heads in a hole in the wall waiting to figure out what's next. Ok, maybe not, but it did leave us stranded trying to figure out the next religious technique.
But as somewhat of a spiritual scientist who digs deeper, I wondered why there was usually temporary relief but no permanent changes. Here is what I discovered.
Souls ties are built on the premise that our souls become knit together with objects, relationships (past and present), or places to which we become inordinately attached.
We were told that there are good soul ties...
- Husband & wife: Gen. 2:24
- Father & son: Gen. 44:30, Jacob & Benjamin
- Good friends: 1 Sam. 18:1, David & Jonathan
- You & God: Deut. 10:20
But we are also told that there were biblical examples of destructive or unholy soul ties such as Shechem & Dinah in Gen. 34:1-3.
We prayed prayers like this thinking they had power, "Heavenly Father, I ask You to forgive me of any and all sexual misconduct, specifically with the names on this list, and/or any unnatural or ungodly relationship with any other person, place, or thing, and in the mighty Name of Jesus, I ask that my spirit be loosed from them according to Matthew 18:18-19. I tell my spirit to forget the unions, and I tell my mind to release responsibility for them, and I tell my emotions to let go and forget the union, and I tell the fragmented pieces of my soul to come back together. I hereby break every soul tie in the Name of Jesus. Amen."
We made confessions. We said the prayers. We renounced past connections. We wrote down our sexual sins and then tore them up and stomped on them. We shouted victory that those attachments were broken.
By our movements, actions, and emotional celebration we experienced a short term emotional disconnect that often felt genuine (in psychology it is called a pattern interrupt). But it wasn't sustainable long term.
Because it is not the gospel.
Because it does not go to the root of the issue.
Because it is religion. It is just a mechanical repetition of words without meaning or understanding how our hearts work.
First of all, the reason that we are emotionally attached in an unhealthy way to someone or something is because of a belief and until the belief changes then our the core reason for our attachment doesn't change. We sense a need to hold that attachment in place because it gives us something. It is serving a purpose in our life.
For example, let's say that you carry a picture of an old girl-friend in your wallet, or iPhone. You know that it makes your wife uncomfortable but you can't seem to get rid of it. Why do you do it? Well, because you are stupid.
Oh wait, no, that is not what I meant. That IS how we often feel though right?
What is that picture of the old girl friend doing for you? What is the emotion that you feel toward the picture/person? Not the emotional fear you have in giving it up, but what is the emotion that you feel toward it? Is it a sense of longing?
What is the belief behind that emotion?
Well... maybe if you are honest it is the belief that there is something that person gave you that your current relationship is not. Maybe that old girl-friend didn't judge you and you feel judged in your current relationship. So maybe the belief is that one day you can get back together if your current relationship doesn't work out. Or maybe it is the feeling of regret and you wish you were still together.
Whatever the belief... which is generally a lie... ask the Father to tell you the truth. "Father, what is the truth that you want me to know here?" If you didn't get an answer, then it is just because you really haven't identified the belief behind the emotional attachment yet. Try again.
If your heart senses a cliche answer, ask again, "Father, I know that cliche answer was probably just my own thoughts. Share with me the truth, in my heart. Show me a picture. Let me sense what the truth is. Or speak to me. lead me into an experience."
Then after listening, you might sense... that the truth is "your wife isn't judging you... you are living out of a place of insecurity." Then you ask, "Father, where do I find security, that I am ok?" And the Father says, "I have accepted you just as you are, inadequacies, quirks, confusion, warts and all. Live FROM my view of you."
With the lie broken, the need for the picture is removed and as the truth grows stronger and stronger the attachment is broken.
In other words, the good news out of personal relationship is where freedom is found. It is not in jumping, shouting and confessing some mantra like the prophets of Baal cutting themselves and dancing around the altar. That just looks... well... silly.
In my book, Beyond Your Wildest Dreams, I share 13 heart truths that once we start to live in harmony with, will result in radical powerful changes in our lives. Can I encourage you today to take a step toward living your dreams instead of being attached to your past?

don't wast my love (Single)
I had the chorus melody in my head for years before I recorded it. I sat down Alex Meade, my producer and hummed the whole thing to him. We built around that. I love making music this way. I was inspired by Canadian artists like Alfie Zappacosta and Gino Vanelli. I love that early 80's adult contemporary stuff, I think it's catchy AF and I think everyone else does too. I want people to hear that vibe and to love that vibe should this song end up on their playlist.

A howling blizzard slammed the US Northeast with more than 0.61m of snow and hurricane-strength wind gusts, halting air travel for thousands of people, keeping others off slippery highways and burying parked cars under deep drifts.
Governors in Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island declared states of emergency.
Over 90cm fell in some places north of Boston, parts of New Hampshire got 60cm, New York's Catskills collected at least 51cm and 46cm fell on parts of Connecticut, New Jersey, Rhode Island and the eastern tip of New York's Long Island.
Two communities in Massachusetts, Salem and Plymouth, tied for the deepest snow with 96.5cm each, according to the National Weather Service.
The weather system had earlier piled 30cm of snow across parts of Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana and northern Ohio.
Although the snow ended by Sunday afternoon, temperatures were expected to reach -17.8C in some areas Sunday night, with wind chills dropping as low as -26C. The wind was fierce across much of the East Coast, with a top wind gust of 244.6kph recorded on Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina.
At least 14 deaths were linked to the weather: three in Connecticut, three in Ohio, three in Wisconsin, two in Pennsylvania, and one each in Maryland, Iowa and Massachusetts.
Wind gusted to 135kph on Nantucket, and the entire island off the southeast coast of Massachusetts was plunged into darkness Sunday as 9,400 utility customers lost power. On the mainland, some 18,000 customers lost power, the utility NStar said. Smaller outages were reported elsewhere around the northeast.
Elise DelBarone, a spokeswoman for Massachusetts Electric, said power on Nantucket was nearly restored Sunday afternoon when a problem with the undersea cable connecting the island to the mainland was fixed.
Still, officials said up to 100 residents were staying at a shelter set up at a high school. Rescue crews were also trying to reach people at risk in outlying areas cut off by snow drifts up to 1.8m high.
Because the wind blowing off the ocean coincided with a full moon and high tide, coastal communities were warned of flooding.
State and city officials urged residents to stay off the roads.
Yesterday classes were called off for many Massachusetts schools, and Romney asked nonessential state workers in the eastern part of the state not to come to work.
For others, towering snowdrifts and whiteout conditions wiped out travel plans.
Boston's Logan International Airport closed early Sunday because snowplow crews couldn't keep up with the blinding snow.
"It's more likely we'll open tomorrow morning," said Phil Orlandella, a spokesman for the airport that normally has 900 flights on a Sunday.
More than 900 flights were canceled Sunday morning at the New York metropolitan area's Newark, Kennedy and LaGuardia airports, in addition to about 700 that were grounded Saturday, Port Authority officials said.

Dark Nebula LDN 810
About this image
This image was obtained with the wide-field view of the Mosaic camera on the Mayall 4-meter telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. LDN 810 is a dark nebula that was first cataloged by B.T. Lynds in 1962. The dark region at the center contains gas and dust out of which new stars are forming. A bipolar outflow of gas from one of these stars has also been detected. A faint trail of dust and gas extends from the center of the image to the upper-left corner. The image was generated with observations in the Us (violet), B (blue), V (green) and I (red) filters. In this image, North is up, East is to the left.

America's prosperity is often tied to boom-and-bust cycles that are based on access to valuable natural resources. We had the gold rush, the oil boom, and now…the ginseng grab.
Ginseng is a fleshy root often used in energy supplements and herbal medications. In China, it is prized as a spirit herb with various medicinal, stress-relieving, and libidinal benefits. While the plant can be grown in simulated settings, the wild versions are usually bigger, heartier, and more desirable.
Wild ginseng only grows in select cool climates, such as North America's Appalachian Mountains and the Himalayas in Asia. With supply limited to a few remote areas and demand on the rise, wild ginseng has become an unlikely — and extremely valuable — cash crop.
One of the places in the U.S. where wild ginseng flourishes is along the Blue Ridge Parkway, in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park dividing Tennessee and North Carolina.
While it is legal to harvest ginseng on private property, it is against the law to remove ginseng (or any other plant, for that matter) from state or national park lands without a permit. But with wild ginseng roots fetching up to $800 a pound on the black market, the region has seen a marked uptick in illegal poaching.
This depletion of the ginseng population has conservationists and ecologists worried.
Ginseng is an important understory herb. It plays a role in the nutrient cycle by contributing to the growth of fungi and other decomposers along the forest floor. Scientists have determined that a minimum of 50 plants in one location makes a population viable for future generations.
According to Jim Corbin, western district supervisor of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the ginseng population in Smoky Mountain National Park does not come close to approaching those numbers.
"As far as people being able to walk in the woods and see ginseng, that basically does not exist anymore," said Corbin.
With less than one park ranger for every thousand acres of terrain, there's no way to monitor every inch of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park against would-be ginseng poachers. That's why officials are relying on technological advancements and scientific procedures to deter people from digging inside the park.
"We needed some indicator to show us, basically, that [those ginseng roots] actually did come from the park," Corbin explained.
Officials came up with a system that has been described as a cross between conservation and CSI.
The first step is locating wild ginseng patches. Every year Corbin and his team go on a ginseng "blitz" and tag as many plants as possible. They apply specialized nontoxic dyes and powders that allow enforcement officials to trace the origins of each plant. The dyes are color coded for various parks, and the powders, which are invisible to the naked eye, can only be seen with specialized black lights.
When law enforcement officers encounter someone they suspect of poaching, they can seize the plants onsite and identify their origin based on the tagged information. If further identification is needed, the plants can be sent to a lab for soil, chemical component, or DNA testing.
Poachers who are caught on state land with illegally collected ginseng outside the allotted harvesting season can face thousands of dollars in fines. If the roots are found to be from a federally protected national park, the suspect may face a prison sentence. Last year a Virginia man was sentenced to 15 days in jail after pleading guilty to poaching seven pounds of ginseng along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
In 2013, Corbin and his team marked over 2,000 plants throughout the Smokies. "It does provide an immediate ID for the product. [But] the rangers have to catch these people," said Corbin. "I think we've made a difference, but we can't combat the marketplace. As long as there's huge demand in the East, there's always going to be pressure on this plant."

Hey again!
A couple of months ago, I went to Pakistan for my brother's big fat Pakistani wedding. As most of you know, I was born in Peshawar and every time I land in Pakistan, a part of me feels like it is home. It is so hard to describe how vibrant and alive the country is.
As I was walking through Old Peshawar with my cousin, Waqas, taking pictures, we stumbled upon a famous Kavah (green tea) spot and they insisted that we be their guests and enjoy a cup with them. A few days later, we droned outside an old Mosque and a crowd huddled around us, all excited, to see the footage we had captured. This is one of my favourite things about photography - the experiences it allows you to have as you walk around with your camera hoping to capture memories.
Today I am sharing this short video of my trip with you - I want you to see Peshawar through my eyes and share glimpses of memories I will cherish forever.
Peshawar is the capital city of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a province in Pakistan. With over 4 million residents, it is the 6th biggest city in the country. The places that were featured in the video above are:
Islamia College Peshawar: Found in 1913, this is one of the oldest educational institutions in Pakistan. The university offers courses in arts, languages, humanities, social sciences and modern sciences. The architecture of the building and the grounds are breathtaking.
Sethi Mohallah: This is a neighbourhood of seven mansions located in Old Peshawar. The Sethi house that we visited was built in 1884, mostly of wood, by the Sethi family. The details in the wood work and art work on the ceilings are absolutely stunning.
Mahabbat Khan Mosque: This beautiful mosque was built in 1630 and named after the Mughal governor of Peshawar, Nawab Mahabat Khan bin Ali Mardan Khan. I loved the floral frescos on the white marble.
Ghanta Ghar: This clock tower was built in 1900 for the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.
Nathia Gali: Just a few hours drive from Peshawar, we escaped to this beautiful hill station for a couple of days. The winding roads and the scenery were a feast for the eyes.

mini summer squash whole wheat galettes with whipped feta & thyme
Warning! You'll want to immediately devour these mini galettes as soon as they come out of the oven. The crust deliciously crumbles as the saltiness of the feta and the summer squash melts in your mouth, and all mingles with the fresh woodiness of the thyme. Not only are these delicious, but you'll also get your serving of whole grains! And flour made with whole grains is more nutritious and higher in fiber.
These galettes are wonderful as a meal with a side salad, brunch or dinner, alike. But I can't deny I like them best for entertaining. They look elegant and rustic at the same time. I like to think this dough is quite forgiving so don't be intimidated by making dough from scratch. Don't have feta and crème fraîche on hand? No problem! Just substitute it for Parmesan to get that sharp, full-flavored bite.
mini summer squash whole wheat galettes with whipped feta & thyme
makes 8
for the dough:
1 cup whole wheat flour
½ tsp. sea salt
½ tsp. baking soda
6 tbsp. unsalted butter, chilled, cut into ½-inch pieces
1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp. cold water
for the filling:
½ cup feta, crumbled (about 4 oz.)
¼ cup crème fraîche
½ a medium yellow squash
½ a medium zucchini
olive oil, for drizzling
thyme leaves, for sprinkling
Preheat the oven to 400°. In a food processor, pulse flour, salt and baking soda to combine. Add the butter and apple cider vinegar, pulse until the consistency of a coarse meal forms. Add 1 to 2 tbsp. cold water (I used 2 tbsp.) and pulse until the dough just starts to come together. Dip onto a lightly floured surface and pat together to make one large piece. Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic and chill while you make the filling.
Wipe the food processor clean and add the feta and crème fraîche; process until smooth. With a mandoline or sharp knife, very thinly slice the squash into rounds (you want about 1 cup total).
On a floured surface, roll out the dough about an ⅛-inch thick. With a 4-inch pastry cutter, cut out 8 pieces; transfer to a baking sheet. You can do it in batches if needed, pressing dough together and rolling out again. On each piece, spread about 2 tsp. of the whipped feta leaving about a ½-inch border. Shingle the sliced squash on top of the whipped feta. Gently fold, pleat and press the dough over the edges of the squash. Drizzle with olive oil and season with pepper (no salt needed, feta is salty enough! If you'd like, finish with flaky sea salt once you taste). Bake 20 to 25 minutes until dough is golden brown and squash is golden around the edges. Sprinkle with thyme leaves while still warm.
*alternatively, you can roll the dough out to one large galette.
** if you're looking for a vegan option, you can try making a vegan cheese with soaked cashews and nutritional yeast. For the dough, try swapping solid coconut oil for the butter.

Hi folks,
I just got my Evo and love it! I'm viewing the World Cup on SprintTV and it occurred to me that I could watch it on a larger screen by activating the wifi hotspot and watching it on my laptop. When I brought up ESPN3 on my laptop, though, it told me that my Internet provider is not supported. Is there a way to watch ESPN3 on my laptop via my phone?
there is no way around this... this is a restriction ESPN has put on...they want the ISP's to pay so that their customers can access ESPN3...
I do use charter ISP at home. I wonder if I can use that login on ESPN3. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for your answer.
Since Charter Customers have access, what you do is go to ESPN3.com using your Charter connection. Once there click on the "Remote access" link and then follow the instructions to associate it with your ESPN.com profile. what this will do is give you access to espn3 as long as you are signed in with your ESPN.com profile..
Wow, great info, I'll try that today when I get back home. Once I have the "remote access" associated with my ESPN account, will I be able to stream ESPN3 over a tethered connection?
Yes...You will be able to use it anywhere as long as you are logged in with the ESPN account....
I watch ESPN3 all the time over the Sprint 4G network since I've done the remote access thing..be glad Sprint's data is unlimited because it uses a lot of data...
So I didn't hear any announcements, but ESPN 3 is now available on the sprint network for me as a supported provider! Very cool!
This is a PUBLIC ARCHIVE board, all artciles are read only.

The Cannes
Job Hunt
The hardest part with graduating is to get a job, because to reach the right people using the agency emails feels nearly impossible. But with the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity coming up we saw our chance to get seen.
We couldn't afford to actually go to Cannes. So we created a series of sponsored Facebook ads to get our portfolios in front of some of the industry's biggest names. The ads were geo-targeted to run in Cannes, so only people in the area were able to see them. We also filtered it to specifically target people working in advertising or related fields.
The campaign reached over 6000 festival visitors and led to over 2000 portfolio visitors.
And yeah, in total we spent 120 dollars.
A project with: Oscar Gierup
To make sure we reached the right people we specifically targeted people in the industry.
We ran a variety of ads in the campaign.

Home-Based Businesses Need to Be Properly Insured
If you are one of the more than 22 million Americans who work from home, you need to think about your home insurance needs.
Many people mistakenly assume that their homeowners insurance covers their home-based business, says Michael Barry, vice president of media relations for the Insurance Information Institute (III).
Your homeowners insurance may provide some coverage, but it is likely limited. For example, a typical homeowners insurance policy provides no more than $2,500 to replace damaged or stolen business equipment, Barry says.
Also, says Gary Nace, a State Farm agent in Levittown, Pa., the equipment must be for both personal and business use to be covered under your home insurance policy. If you have equipment in your home that you use for your business only, it may not be covered.
Consider business interruption and business liability insurance
Standard homeowners insurance won't cover business liability or provide business interruption coverage for your home-based business either. What would happen if someone who was coming to see you on business fell on your front steps and was hurt? What if you had a house fire and you couldn't deliver your product or services to your clients on time because your equipment was destroyed?
You have several options if you need additional insurance for your home-based business. The least expensive is a simple endorsement or rider to your existing homeowners insurance policy.
The average cost for an endorsement is anywhere from $250 to $500, according to the III. The cost will depend on the type of business you operate from your home, what safety features you have in place, and the amount of coverage you need. For an additional premium, you can raise your policy limits for any equipment losses related to a home-based business to $5,000 to $10,000, Barry says.
You also can buy a homeowners liability endorsement that will protect you should your clients or a delivery person get hurt while coming to your home on business. This works well for home-based businesses where you have few visitors. Some insurers provide this kind of endorsement to piano teachers for example, but they won't sell it to you if you have people coming in and out of your home all day long, Barry says.
Business-owners insurance policy may be necessary
Another option is a business-owners policy (BOP). Whether your business is eligible for a BOP, depends on the size of your home business, the limits of liability you require, the type of operation you have and the extent of your off-premises servicing and processing activities.
A BOP covers business property and equipment, loss of income and liability, but it doesn't include worker's compensation, health or disability insurance. If you have employees, you will need separate policies for these coverages.
You also need to determine whether you need professional liability insurance. "For example, if you're an accountant, you probably need a separate policy for professional liability," Nace says.
You'd also want to have added coverage for your files and your computer system, which would be worth more than you'd collect from your homeowners insurance should you have a fire or other disaster and they were to be destroyed.
"There are some home-based businesses that we won't insure under homeowners insurance," Nace says. "If you paint cars in your garage or if you had a gun shop in your basement, things that tend to have more risk exposed to it, we won't insure. But if you're a writer or a piano teacher who gives lessons from her living room or a sales representative for Avon, they're acceptable and easy to endorse for not a lot of money."
The location of your home-business is a factor
Another consideration is whether your home-based business is part of your house or in a detached building on your property. "If you're running any kind of business out of that detached structure, the building is excluded from your home insurance policy," Nace says. "If it burns down, you're on your own."
Because of the different options and the different coverages you may need, check with your insurance agent before starting a home-based business and discuss what is and isn't covered under your homeowners policy and whether you need additional endorsements or separate policies.
Barry suggests checking with different carriers to compare home insurance policies and coverages because prices can vary.

My experiences in business have taught me that having a skilled, dedicated team around you is essential if you are to achieve your goals. Without talented and effective people by your side, it can prove impossible to realise your ambitions. With this in mind, I've put together a brief guide to help you harness the potential of your personnel.
Invest in training
All the best business leaders understand the crucial role that effective training plays within companies. By providing your personnel with all the support and coaching they need, you can help ensure they are able to perform their roles effectively and confidently. Bear in mind that training opportunities shouldn't be reserved for new starters. It's important to offer employees the chance to enhance their knowledge and skills on an ongoing basis.
Reward good work
Rewarding good work is also essential. People are much more likely to stretch themselves and go above and beyond the basics of their job requirements if they know they will be recognised for their efforts. As well as praising people on an informal basis, it's useful to have official procedures in place to recognise good work, such as employee awards and prizes. Providing people with opportunities for promotion and pay rises that reflect their diligence and skill is vital too. If workers feel as though their input is valued, they are more likely to remain focussed and loyal.
Put effective communication procedures in place
Another way to nurture talent within your company is to set up effective two-way communication procedures – and regular appraisals should play an important role in this. These sessions can help people to identify their strengths and weaknesses and they foster a culture of accountability and openness. People are likely to feel happier and perform better if there is an established system in place for getting guidance and feedback. Your personnel should also feel confident about approaching their line managers if they spot any problems. If they know they can raise concerns with senior members of staff, employees can help ensure that any issues are tackled before they escalate and potentially do damage to your business.
Provide a clear company message
Providing personnel with a clear company message that they can relate to and get behind is vital. When people understand that they are working towards a common goal and feel as though they are part of a team, they tend to be more enthused and energised about their work. Having a clear brand message and communicating this to your staff members is essential if you are to achieve this – and you can reinforce the sense of cohesion by organising team building days and other corporate events.
By following guidance like this and harnessing the full potential of your personnel, you stand to make your business stronger and more successful.

C'bean should assess US approach to unilateral preferential trade arrangements
Since the start of this year, on several occasions US President Donald Trump has said that his favourite words are "reciprocal" and "reciprocity". In trade, reciprocal means that both parties in a trade arrangement exchange preferential concessions for market access. Non-reciprocal means that only one party (the more developed country) unilaterally gives trade concessions (duty-free access) to the other party (usually a developing country).
The US gives unilateral non-reciprocal preferential trade concessions to a range of developing countries, including in the Caribbean and Africa, under its Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) renewed in March to 2020; the Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI) to expire in 2020; and the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) to expire in 2025.
I recently came across an article about the US/Africa AGOA which could be of interest to CBI Caribbean beneficiaries.
The US/Africa AGOA was adopted by the US Congress in 2000 to provide development assistance to countries in Africa. This includes non-reciprocal preferential trade access. AGOA was extended in 2015 for 10 years to 2025. The US has a trade deficit with the AGOA beneficiary countries. The 17th AGOA Ministerial Forum was held in Washington, DC, July 11-12, 2018, under the theme 'Forging new strategies for US/Africa trade and investment'. It is reported that, for the US, focus was on a post-2025 AGOA arrangement, including a free trade agreement with an interested country, which could be a model for other developing countries.
In his opening statement at the forum, US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer stated that: "One-way tariff preferences can only do so much to drive trade and investments. When corporations decide where to invest and do business much more goes into the equation. US companies value clear rules of the road and a sound business environment…" He also pointed out that countries in Africa have trade agreements with other countries which are part of the EU and with China.
Although it was said that the US would not be abandoning AGOA, it is clear that the US's future trade relationship with African countries was not being viewed only in the context of the AGOA non-reciprocal relationship, but within reciprocal free trade agreements with individual countries. Lighthizer told the forum that there were compelling reasons to pursue a comprehensive and more permanent trade and investment framework to govern trade between the US and Africa.
The Trump Administration sees economic gains to be made in Africa and wants to improve the US trade balance and increase investments. They are also concerned about the strong influence of the EU and China in Africa.
From a Caribbean perspective, recall that presently only countries in this region are beneficiaries of the CBI, comprising the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA) and the Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act (CBTPA). Haiti, the only least developed country (LDC) in the region, benefits under CBI from the 2006 Haiti Hemispheric Opportunity for Partnership Encouragement Act (HOPE).
The US has a trade surplus with Caribbean countries. In September 2017, following destructive Hurricanes Irma and Maria, a bipartisan bill was tabled in Congress to extend the CBERA/CBTPA. The Bill has yet to be considered. The US/Caricom Trade and Investment Council (TIC) has not met since 2016. With CBERA/CBTPA expiring in September 2020, the question of extension must be addressed before September 2019. The World Trade Organization (WTO) most favoured nation (MFN) waiver expires on December 31, 2019. The last successful US waiver request in 2014 took account of the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti. The regular status report on CBERA/CBTPA was routinely considered at the WTO in July 2018.
Note also that the 2017 US Strategy for Engagement in the Caribbean resulting from the 2016 US Caribbean Strategic Engagement Act, under prosperity, aims to promote sustainable economic policies and job creation, as well as private sector-led growth, utilising trade preference programmes and key forums such as the US-Caricom TIC. For 2018, there is, so far, no evidence of movement on the implementation of this strategy.
One senses, though, that the US is also concerned about the influence of the EU and China, and possibly others, in the Caribbean. While the Caribbean is not Africa, the region should be interested in the US trade representative's approach to its non-reciprocal trade arrangements and its future strategy for trade and investment with the countries which are current beneficiaries. A positive is that the Trump Administration renewed the GSP in March when it was feared that they might let it terminate. Nevertheless, as the Caribbean anticipates a positive outcome for CBI leading into 2019, the region should bear in mind President Trump's favourite words — reciprocal and reciprocity — when contemplating the future strategy for trade and investment with the USA.

The March production of the Dinner Theatre was a special affair as it marked the 35th Anniversary of the founding of the group.
The production was the comedy Father's Day by Eric Chappell.Henry, played by Henry Cooper, was very successful as lonely divorced man, suddenly jolted out of his quiet existence by the appearance of his estranged son, Matthew, played by Jamie Stonehewer. Jamie had another surprise for him, he had brought along his pregnant punk girlfriend, played by Beverley Stonehewer, and was suitably bewildered by his father's lack of understanding. The final visitor was Henry's ex wife, Sue, played by Janet Gillett and the dynamics between the family members was expertly portrayed.
