St. Ignatius was in my Loyola Kids Book of Saints, and you can read the entire chapter here:
Because he had spent all those months in his sickbed, Ignatius got bored. He asked for something to read. He was hoping for adventure books, tales that were popular back then: knights fighting for the hands of beautiful ladies, traveling to distant lands, and battling strange creatures.
But for some reason, two completely different books were brought to Ignatius. One was a book about the life of Christ, and the other was a collection of saints' stories.
Ignatius read these books. He thought about them. He was struck by the great sacrifices that the saints had made for God. He was overwhelmed by their love of Jesus.
And Ignatius thought, "Why am I using my life just for myself? These people did so much good during their time on earth. Why can't I?"
Ignatius decided that he would use the talents God had given him—his strength, his leadership ability, his bravery, and his intelligence—to serve God and God's people.
While Ignatius continued to heal, he started praying very seriously. God's peace filled his heart and assured him that he was on the right path.
When Ignatius was all healed and ready to walk and travel again, he left his home to prepare for his new life. It wasn't easy. He was 30, which was considered old in those days, and he was getting a late start in his studies for the priesthood. In those days, the Mass was said only in Latin, and Latin was the language all educated people used to communicate with each other. Ignatius didn't know a bit of Latin. So for his first Latin lessons, big, rough Ignatius had to sit in a classroom with a bunch of 10-year-old boys who were learning Latin for the first time too!
That takes a different kind of strength, doesn't it?
Take Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have and possess. Thou hast given all to me. To Thee, O lord, I return it. All is Thine, dispose of it wholly according to Thy will. Give me Thy love and thy grace, for this is sufficient for me.
In The Words We Pray, I wrote about the Suscipe Prayer. That chapter is excerpted here:
The more you roll this prayer around in your soul, and the more you think about it, the more radical it is revealed to be.
One of the primary themes of the Spiritual Exercises is that of attachments and affections. Ignatius offers the account of "three classes of men" who have been given a sum of money, and who all want to rid themselves of it because they know their attachment to this worldly good impedes their salvation.
The first class would really like to rid themselves of the attachment, but the hour of death comes, and they haven't even tried. The second class would also like to give up the attachment, but do so, conveniently, without actually giving anything up.
Is this sounding familiar at all?
The third class wants to get rid of the attachment to the money, which they, like the others, know is a burden standing in the way. But they make no stipulations as to how this attachment is relinquished; they are indifferent about the method. Whatever God wants, they want. In a word, they are the free ones.
The prayer "Take Lord, receive" is possible only because the retreatant has opened himself to the reality of who God is, what God's purpose is for humanity, and what God has done for him in a particularly intense way.
A Response to God's Love
The retreatant has seen that there is really no other response to life that does God justice. What love the Father has for us in letting us be called children of God, John says (1 John 3:1). What gift does our love prompt us to give?
In ages past, and probably in the minds of some of us still, that gift of self to God, putting oneself totally at God's disposal, is possible only for people called to a vowed religious life. Well, God didn't institute religious life in the second chapter of Genesis. He instituted marriage and family. I'm not a nun, but the Scriptures tell us repeatedly that all creation is groaning and being reborn and moving toward completion in God. Every speck of creation, everything that happens, every kid kicking a soccer ball down a road in Guatemala, each office worker in New Delhi, every ancient great-grandmother in a rest home in Boynton Beach, every baby swimming in utero at this moment around the world—all are beloved by God and are being constantly invited by him to love. And all can respond.

Apparently, the worst news are released when market closes on Friday as companies hope that investors have a nice weekend to enjoy thus mitigating the sell down that will happen on Monday.
It rarely works.
Perhaps this is why Great Eastern reported the "good news" that it will take a hit of 250M for its Q3. This is a significant payment as the profits for its Q2 is only 97.7M. Understandably, OCBC will also be dragged down on Monday when market reopens as it expects to take a 218M hit on its books in 3Q.
Of course it is no mere coincidence that OCBC will be reporting a decent set of 2Q results on Monday (3rd August) to mitigate the negative news.
I am not sure how market will react on Monday, but I do feel puzzled that GE and OCBC are not acting on shareholders interest, but on customers' interest.
The objective of all (for profit) firms, theoretically is to maximize shareholders value. Considering DBS who have paid out only 10% of its earmarked impairment fund for DBS High Notes and Minibonds, it has incurred the wrath of many except the stakeholders.
I presume that GE is expecting this move to increase its image and translate to better sales and maximizing shareholders' value in the future.
That said, GE and OCBC are great companies to own and if their stock prices dipped to an attractive level of $10 and $6 respectively, there is no harm picking them up for long term investment.

My daughter's room is slowly coming together. We took these photos last night as the light was starting to fade. Most of the main elements are in place but there is still some work to do to pull it all together. For now, she is quite happy to be in her pink bedroom with all of her favourite things around her.
We decided on a queen bed (perfect for future sleepovers) for her room with storage drawers underneath. The bed is a modern take on the classic wrought-iron bed with a lattice-work headboard. The rug is from Baba Souk which never lets me down when I'm looking for something original and vintage for a room. The owner, Stephanie regularly travels to Morocco to stock her Montreal-based online store and her eye is incredible. This super-soft rug is like the cousin of the very popular Beni Ourain except it has hits of soft colours within the diamond patterns.
The chair and light are from the new VIKTIGT collection from IKEA. Many of the pieces in this collection are made by hand from natural, woven materials. I love the warm, organic element they bring into the space.
This narrow shelving unit gave us a place to store some of my daughter's toys and favourite books. The baskets are also part of the above mentioned VIKTIGT Collection and fit perfectly underneath.
We call this little area the cat corner. My daughter has an ever-growing collection of them!
We combined a mix of pillows and linens to give the bed a layered look. Both of my kids have thin, vintage Kantha blankets at the foot of their beds which we use in the summer when it becomes too hot for duvets. What's missing is obviously some art or wall-hanging for over the bed. We have plaster walls in our house and have had a very hard time hanging anything heavy on them (no matter what time of wall anchors we try!) More than once we have been woken in the night to the sounds of art or mirrors crashing to the ground. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear.

In an emotional act of defiance, Charlie Hebdo resurrected its irreverent and often provocative newspaper today, featuring a caricature of the prophet Mohammed on the cover that drew immediate criticism and threats of more violence.
The newspaper unapologetically skewered other religions as well, and bragged that Sunday's turnout of a million people at a march in Paris to condemn terrorism was larger "than for Mass".
"For the past week, Charlie, an atheist newspaper, has achieved more miracles than all the saints and prophets combined," it said in the edition's lead editorial. "The one we are most proud of is that you have in your hands the newspaper that we always made."
Working out of office space borrowed from the Liberation newspaper, surviving staff published an unprecedented print run of three million copies – more than 50 times the usual circulation.
It is appearing on news-stands one week to the day after the assault by two masked gunmen that killed 12 people, including many of the weekly's editorial staff and two police officers. It was the beginning of three days of terror that saw 17 people killed before the three Islamic extremist attackers were gunned down by security forces.
Before the new edition was even released, one of Egypt's top Islamic authorities had warned Charlie Hebdo against publishing more cartoons of Mohammed. Dar al-Ifta, which is in charge of issuing religious edicts, called the planned cover an "unjustified provocation" for millions of Muslims who respect and love their prophet and warned the cartoon would likely spark a new wave of hatred.
Indeed, criticism and threats immediately appeared on militant websites, with calls for more strikes against the newspaper and anonymous threats from radicals, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, a US-based terrorism monitor.
The latest cover shows a weeping Mohammed, holding a sign reading "I am Charlie" with the words "All is forgiven" above him. Zineb El Rhazoui, a journalist with the weekly, said the cover meant the journalists were forgiving the extremists for the attack.
Renald Luzier, the cartoonist who drew the cover image under the pen name "Luz", said it represents "just a little guy who's crying". Then he added, unapologetically: "Yes, it is Mohammed."
Speaking at a news conference in which he repeatedly broke down crying, Mr Luzier described weeping after he drew the picture.
"I wrote 'everything is pardoned', and I cried," he said, adding that at that moment the staff understood the drawing would be the cover.
"It is not the cover that the world wanted us to do," he said, tearfully putting his head down on the table at one point as colleagues embraced him.
Charlie Hebdo had faced repeated threats and a firebombing for depictions of the prophet, and its editor and his police bodyguard were the first to die. Many Muslims believe all images of the prophet are blasphemous.
The latest issue of Charlie Hebdo maintained the intentionally offensive tone that made the newspaper famous in France. The first two pages included drawings by the slain cartoonists: One showed a well-known late French nun talking about oral sex; another showed Muslim, Christian and Jewish leaders dividing up the world.
The lead editorial laid out a vigorous defense of secularism, and of the newspaper's right to lampoon religions and hold their leaders accountable – and ended with a critique of the Pope.
But most of the controversy centered on the cover and its depiction of the prophet Mohammed.
Around the world, news organizations took different approaches to illustrating stories about the Charlie Hebdo cover. In the United States, CBS programmes and The New York Post ran images of the cover, while the ABC network did not.
The New York Times also did not publish it, but included a link to it. CNN did not show the cover online or on the air. The Associated Press had not run previous Charlie Hebdo cartoons showing Mohammed and declined to run the latest one as well, based on its policy to avoid images designed to provoke on the basis of religion.
In Europe, Spain's leading daily newspapers published the image online and the state broadcaster showed it on news bulletins. In Britain, The Times, the Guardian and the Independent went with the image, while The Daily Telegraph did not.
The BBC showed the new cover on news programmes and Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Der Spiegel and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung used it on their websites.

The masterpiece of Quinta de Lemos, Dona Georgina blends the best of two worlds - Touriga Nacional & Tinta Roriz. The most expressive of the QdL wines, the fruit and the finish are splendid with hints of game and leather to go with the violets the Touriga Nacional is recognized for.
With incredible aging potential, the texture is quite mineral, with ripe plums, candied orange and bergamot, resinous woods and spices. A long and concentrated finish wraps it all up in one beautiful present.

It's the new year! From classroom expectations to daily to-dos, schools are getting back into the swing of things. We all need a little nudge in the right direction after the long holiday break, and Edmodo is here to provide that support. Resolve to stay on top of grading with Edmodo's updated assignment tool.
Maximize your grading workflow with these 3 features:
- Grade multiple assignments at once: With Edmodo, your classroom has already gone paperless. Now we've streamlined the paper-free grading process. On the Assignment overview page, view All Submissions and use the top checkbox to select all. You can also grade a subset of submissions by checking the boxes next to individual student name.
- Clear multiple assignment grades en masse: Once you've graded assignments, you may want to revise or remove the score you awarded. You can do this in one fell swoop. Similar to grading multiple assignments, check all or select a group of submissions and click Clear Grades.
- Instruct students to resubmit assignments: Did one of your students forget to include an attachment? Or, did the assignment not meet your expectations? Now you can ask a Student to resubmit an Assignment through the click of a button. View the assignment post, select the Student's name on the left sidebar, and click "Request Resubmission."
5 comments. Leave new
Wow! A good thing now got even better!!! The "Resubmit" feature will be very very useful, as we do want to encourage students to develop their works, and also I frequently posts assignments that requires the students to hand in a link to a Google Drive document that is built upon over time, and this will be a good way to let students know that I have seen and commented in their document and that they can now continue working.
I just discovered these features the other day and they made my life a lot easier. Thanks, Edmodo! #edmodolove
I'm not sure this would work in a math classroom due to the lack of math type fonts for equations. I do like it for sharing videos and providing resources though.
I give students assignments through Edmodo all the time but I still learned some interesting things through this post. Thanks for sharing these ideas!!!
It all comes down to consistent communication with grading and expectations. Thank you for providing an easier way.

We're excited to hear that one of our allies, Murder Victims Families for Human Rights, has launched a new blog at www.mvfhr.blogspot.com. MVFHR is a group of murder victims' family members who oppose the death penalty, and the organization is a member of the Pennsylvania Moratorium Coalition. From their kick-off post today:
Jeanette Popp believes the death penalty should be abolished so that it can no longer be used as a threat to coerce confessions from innocent people. But when she first learned that the two men she had believed were guilty might not be guilty after all, her most pressing question was, has the original story been a lie? Everything she thought she knew about her daughter's murder was now called into question.
The MVFHR team knows what its doing and is a major reason why New Jersey has a moratorium on the death penalty and will probably soon abolish capital punishment. Check them out.

WANDERLUST: Villa Scrubby Bay, New Zealand
If owning a home is still pretty far down the road, then a vacation home is more of a delusion than a dream. That doesn't keep me from fantasizing though. Scrubby Bay, the luxury New Zealand guest house and working farm is exactly what I have in mind. Positioned in this scenic landscape in Annandale, the view alone is a thing of beauty. Furthered by the design of architectural firm Patterson's, the structure blends right into its surroundings as though it's been there this whole time, waiting to be discovered among the grass. The interior is just as stunning with its use of cedar planking and natural materials to bring the outdoors in. I could use a soak in that tub right about now.

Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette/
I love balsamic vinegar, as does the rest of my household. In fact, I just bought a fresh bottle from a local wine maker in Barrie last month and have been roasting my vegetables with it ever since. That's one of my favourite ways to use it. It adds so much flavour! They make their own and sell it at a very good price. This stuff is gold!
It's such a versatile ingredient and I love using it to make all kinds of salad dressings and vinaigrette's. It's also a great addition to warm toasty sandwiches. I have yet to be adventurous enough to try it on ice cream. Apparently it's to die for, but for now I think I'm just going to stick to making salad dressings and marinades with it. I bet it would be great in a reduction! Hmm, me thinks I'll have to come up with something. . .
Balsamic vinaigrette isn't very hard to make; all you have to do is mix some balsamic vinegar with olive oil right?
Well sort of, but not really. It's not set in stone, but it's important remember to use a 3 to 1 ratio of oil to vinegar. This is the sweet spot when it comes to making a salad dressing. Often people will use too much vinegar and it comes out tasting harsh or tart. If you use this ratio as a general guide next time you make a dressing then you'll never need a recipe again. And of course it's important to let your taste buds be the judge. Only you know what you like. Take a taste test by dipping a small leaf of lettuce in and give a try!
Now, Let's face it, store bought salad dressings can be pretty atrocious when it comes to long lists of strange ingredients that you can't pronounce. This vinaigrette will beat any store bought version hands down.
Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette (makes approx. 1 cup)
- 1 tbsp whole-grain Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- sea salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
- To make the dressing combine the mustard and vinegar in a large mixing bowl or blender. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking to emulsify. Whisk in the maple syrup and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- Store in a jar with a lid or air tight container and keep refrigerated.
*Make sure your olive oil is at room temperature. If it is cold it will be more difficult to emulsify with the vinegar.
*If you let the dressing sit for an hour or so and then refrigerate, the flavours will meld together better.
I can't wait until apples are in-season and then I can start adding them to my salads along with this vinaigrette. Maybe some soft crumbled goat cheese and dried Bala cranberries too!
I'm getting ahead of myself. I shouldn't start wishing for fall when summer only just started, even though it's my favourite time of year.
Fall is far too short and winter is way too long. I should just buy an island with a small boat somewhere tropical and live there during winter.
Problem solved!

A prank that is annoying as fuck for victims has surfaced online once again.
Basically people are sending each other links to a website called crashsafari.com. Can you guess what it does?
True to the site's name if you click a link to it from the Safari app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac your device could crash.
That is because the site generates a ridiculously long, and increasing string of characters that Safari struggles to process. The device will heat up, crash, and then reboot.
Security expert Mikko Hypponen has provided a warning as to the type of links to avoid…
Right now, lots of jokers are posting shortlinks to 'crashsafari․com'. The link will reboot your iPhone. Watch out. pic.twitter.com/3mZby5Xpo2
— Mikko Hypponen (@mikko) January 25, 2016
According to the Daily Mirror Hypponen has said the links are increasingly being disguised by link shorteners such as bit.ly and ow.ly.
Needless to say victims aren't finding it as funny as the pranksters.
Oh look, there's a new Rickroll #CrashSafari #RickRoll https://t.co/qOLCYvlYH9

someone send me that crashsafari shit one more time ?
— ++ (@notGabri) January 25, 2016
If everyone could stop sending me the safari crash link that'd be fantastic
— L'enfant Sauvage (@mccoy_kaden) January 25, 2016
Apparently over 100,000 people have fallen victim to just one abbreviated link alone.
Wow. One "Crash Safari" short-link has been clicked on more than one hundred thousand times… pic.twitter.com/JqotjPiN1j
— News from the Lab (@FSLabs) January 25, 2016
Android users are not entirely safe either, with it reported by the Daily Mirror that the link can have a similar effect on Chrome.
So far it appears there are no long term effects, your device should just reboot.
The same may not be said of your relationship with whichever annoying git happens to send you the link.

Warning, more vacation photos ahead. They may just keep on coming because I have cut myself off from the camera until I wade my way through them.
This week on P.52 we continue our exploration of creative compositions with a focus on subject isolation. This can mean using any number of techniques - lighting, depth of field, framing, etc. - in order to make a subject stand out. However, an alternative interpretation is isolation as a subject itself and this is how I chose to approach the week's theme.
The vastness of the western United States is astonishing and for me, a feeling of isolation, particularly as it pertains to scope and solitude, abounds. Below are a few favorite shots that embody my take on subject: isolation.

Just trying to think if this is possible. What would a good example be if so?
To be a little more clear, if I have a linearly independent set of vectors $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_k$, is there a linear mapping that will produce a linearly dependent set of output vectors?

Just down Allitsen Road off St Johns Wood's boutique-laden high street, you'll find a small workman's cafe called The Gammon Rasher.
It could easily go unnoticed with its small and inconspicuous blue entrance, but whilst it might not have the fanciest interiors, their £5 set breakfast is a pretty great deal.
Expect the Full English essentials: eggs, bacon, sausages, tomato, fried slice, mushrooms, and beans, and it includes a tea or coffee.
For the real enthusiasts, additional items are available such as black pudding or bubble and squeak. Alongside their all-day breakfast menu, The Gammon Rasher also keeps the punters coming in for lunch with a selection of sandwiches and specials; think steak pie, lasagne, or their must-try gammon with egg and chips for £5.50. Not bad piggies. Not bad at all.
Words and photography | Bisi Bajomo
Editor's Note 12th Feb 2017: The Gammon Rasher is temporarily closed whilst it undertakes a refurbishment. The owners haven't said when it will re-open, but we'll keep an eye out.

New Zealand has recently decided to ban legal highs being sold in New Zealand until they can be proven as 'safe'. As mentioned, the testing would only take about 18 months - therefore there are no long term side effects known so how can they deem these psychoactive substances as safe for humans?
To pass the law to be allowed to be sold these harmful chemicals will be tested on the innocent animals that spend their whole lives in a small cage being tested and harmed for human benefit - but how can an extremely addictive substance that causes seizures, epilepsy, coughing up blood, kidney failure, unconsciousness and strokes be considered a benefit to society?
Why are the government allowing these products to be produced in the first place? Do they really have New Zealanders best interests at heart?
Animal testing has been proven to be unreliable - Thalidomide was tested on animals and was passed into the medical market - this drug caused approximately 10,000 children to be born with defects. Animals are not humans. The drugs do not have the same effects and there alternative methods available to test these drugs without harming and causing severe suffering for millions of animals.
Do not allow the government to test these unecessary products on animals. Sign the petition and be heard.

Hickory Tearout
Forum Responses
From contributor D:
Ditto. If it has any defect or strange grain it will chip out (usually so bad you can't fix it), and if you feed it opposite direction, it takes another chunk.
From contributor S:
Hickory is a stringy grained wood. Being that wet it will tear out more than dried to 7% MC. Also tears out some anyway. Spiral cut heads greatly reduce tearout.
From contributor N:
Ditto what everyone else says. This problem (for us kiln dried hickory) went away long ago after changing to spiral carbide heads. The winter growth rings seem to separate from the summer growth layers pretty easily, so when we have stock to run through a Hussy, it's all vertical grain. Flat sawn stock, even if run very slowly with reduced tearout, had annoying spots at the cathedrals that were peeling up.
From contributor Y:
Hickory is one of the most problematic woods. In order to get a decent result, tooling needs to have a 0 to 5 degree cutting angle. Typical planers have a 20 to 25 degree cutting angle. As suggested above, spiral heads will give a better result, but expect a high defect rate when machining hickory, unless you do enough of it to pay for custom tooling.

Set in an 11 acre botanical garden that is home to two restored Renaissance buildings (a fifteenth-century palazzo and a sixteenth-century former convent) the Four Seasons, Firenze is steeped in history. With its vast park, exquisite dining and state-of-the-art spa, it sets the standard for luxury in Florence.
Upon entering the lobby guests are welcomed by a Renaissance loggia, decorated with original reliefs and stuccoes, a reminder this is a cut above the average luxury hotel. Set between the two buildings in the estate, décor is elegantly sumptuous and tasteful in an old Parisian style crammed with oil paintings and antiques.
The 116 rooms and suites are individually decorated with silk, velvet, marble or antique furniture and are resplendent with frescoes and ceiling murals. Amenities are by Florentine master parfumier Lorenzo Villoresi.
Dine al fresco at the opulent one starred main restaurant, Il Palagio, which lives fully up to the hotel's exacting standards. Chef Vito Mollica keeps things real and Tuscan, even while he's experimenting with flavour combos and cooking techniques. The wine list is inventive as it is extensive.
Set in the beautiful Giardino della Gherardesca, adjacent to the swimming pool and spa, Al Fresco enjoys an enviable location under the shade of one of its majestic trees. Chef Vito Mollica revisits some italian classics at lunchtime, evenings are all about pizzas and the grill..
The glass-roofed Atrium bar is a pleasant venue for tea or aperitivi with vaulted ceilings, elegant décor and lovely views of the inner gardens. As the main meeting place, the Atrium Bar is the place to see and be seen in Florence accompanied by live piano music in the evenings.
Wander the interlacing pathways of the beautiful gardens and discover original statues and fountains and down the tree-lined path to the two-story herbal spa, where state of the art treatments await behind glass mosaic walls. Or if this all seems too much lounge beside the garden swimming pool with refreshments to hand.

Aching, Coughing, Desires, Direction, Dreams, Fever, Flu, Headache, Helpless, Hopes, Illness, Letting go, Lungs, Migraine, Plans, Release, Shivering, Wishes
This last week, I got the crud bug. Badly.
For three days, I could do nothing but exist. I hurt everywhere, and was deeply aware of every bit of it, every second of the day and night. My fevers rose and fell quickly, leaving me drenched and exhausted. Eating was out of the question, and pulling myself out of bed to use the restroom or take care of the cat was about all I could manage. Finally, my sinuses stopped draining out the front, and started collecting in my lungs, and I really fell into a dark place…for two days.
As I lay in my bed, a migraine stabbing my eyes and temples, shivering uncontrollably and coughing so hard that I sprained ribs, I came face-to-face with the realization that I cannot keep pushing like I have in the past. Next to my bed was a pile of papers…all of which rather urgent and important. I had important appointments and engagements with the outside world…all of which were vitally important to meeting and caring for my mundane needs in this dimension. And…none of them were going to be taken care of this week, no matter how hard I tried or how much I wanted or needed them to be. I had to let them go completely.
As I let go of one thing, Spirit asked me to let go of more…and more…and more. Until all that was left was for me to just exist and be present with the moment's experience. I became aware of the movement of blood in my veins and arteries…the movement of air through the sinuses, throat, and lungs…the flow of herbs as it hit the bloodstream…the direction of the migraine and ultimately its source. I also became aware that I have absolutely no idea what I want or where I'm going or what to even ask for and, rather than struggle to find answers, I needed to surrender to the uncertainty.
I'm not saying there isn't fear present…there is. And some days that fear is rather healthy. By not resisting it, and allowing myself to just breathe alongside of it, I learn that fear is not alone…it's just louder than hope or peace or love at the moment. Once I realize this, I can look around and recognize and appreciate the value and beauty of everything that is. I fully experience it, and despite being so ill and in so much pain and misery, I have rarely been more fully alive.
This New Moon is asking the same from you. Let it all go. All of it. You may have dreams and aspirations and wishes and visions and plans for your life. I know I certainly have had those, and had them up until this last week. But these dreams, aspirations, wishes, visions, and plans may have been a part of a different process…a different energy…a different lifetime…pre-December 21, 2012. In this post-era, those old ways will fall away. So, rather than clinging desperately to something that will crumble despite your best efforts and willpower, let it go. Release it all. All that you thought you knew…about you…about life…about your place in it…about your purpose in it…what you want…what you don't want…what you like…what you don't like…what you can do…what you can't do. It's all changing, so allow yourself to change with the tides.
Then learn to sit peacefully in the chaos and start to hear the gentle voices of hope, love, and peace that do exist even in the face of fear. In this place, the gentle rebuilding of a new perspective and a new direction will come to you…quietly…when you least expect it…unknowingly.
And remember…You are loved.
All will be well.
And so it is.

Teachers from Rodgers, Lewis & Clark, Ferris, North Central, and Shadle high schools gathered nearly 70 students from within their respective photography classes and bused them to the INB Performing Arts Center today for Festival of the Arts. The JCSP team presented a slideshow and demonstrated various techniques to an auditorium of eager students. Topics ranged from theory of light (and shadows) to one-light portraits. The demonstration was followed by a hands-on workshop guided by the educators from each of the school's photography programs. After nearly 7 hours, the students piled back onto their buses and headed back to school with a breadth of new information and experience.
Here's a few images from the day:

General lack of house training can be a cause of your dog peeing indoors. This is obviously more common in puppies. With any training, follow the golden rule of 'reward the behavior you want, ignore the behavior you don't'. Punishing the behavior of peeing inside can confuse your puppy into thinking you don't want it to urinate or defecate, and can increase the anxiety around the act making the problem worse.
If they do toilet inside, remove them and place them where you would like them to toilet, then give a gentle pat. In conjunction with this, take your puppy outside regularly, and especially after a meal. When they toilet outside, quietly reward them with a treat or pat. Try not to get too over-excited about it. Read more about how to toilet train your puppy here.
If your dog is easily excited/anxious (the two can go hand in hand) then this can cause temporary loss of bladder control. This is common in puppies who are learning how to control their bladder and they can sometimes pee without knowing when they are especially excited.

My name is Linn and besides this website I run the YouTube channel Darbin Orvar. Since early 2014 I have been putting up videos as well as writing some blog posts. Most of all I love to make things...and I do love hand tools, so I have collected a respectable number over the years. I have been building and making all my life, with wood, fabric, metal...just about anything that you can use to make into something I am into it.
I was born and raised in Sweden, so woodworking and crafting, which are taught in schools at an early age have been part of my life from the beginning. Among my many interests that either inform or influence my woodworking and making include a love of science, technology and history. Often I take from these areas to help design the pieces I make and use my love of science to investigate the strengths, weaknesses and limits of the material I work with.
I have a background in computers that somehow transformed into having a YouTube channel about woodworking, but no matter what the field I have noticed that getting things done is very similar across disciplines. You start with a big idea and you have to break things down until they make sense.

Tourism in Pike County is a $26 Million industry. Thousands of tourists visit Pike County each year, with many of them coming in the fall for hunting and for our Fall Color Drive. Whether someone is traveling for business or pleasure, the level of customer service he or she receives on her trip will help determine whether they come back. Travelers, after all, have lots of options when they leave home. Today's travelers, particularly those on vacation trips, want memories they can look back on and smile.
When it comes to the people they meet on the front line, the staff from our local businesses, travelers expect them to be courteous, helpful and friendly. They also want staff members to be knowledgeable about the area and its attractions. They demand great service. As a result, the folks on the front lines of our local businesses, agencies and organizations must stand ready to meet customer needs.
The "Ask Me! Hospitality Training is designed to help people see the importance of delivering excellent customer service for their individual development as well as the success of their business and our entire community. The program will also equip these front line people with resources to educate them regarding all of the great amenities Pike County has to offer and help them promote the county to our visitors.
The Ask Me! program has several elements. The first is a focus on improving customer service skills. The second element is providing the attendees resources to educate them about all of the things to see and do in Pike County and equipping them to promote these amenities when they return to their places of employment. The final element is follow-up. We are implementing a "Secret Shopper" evaluation (which we are calling a secret visitor) to visit the businesses that have participated so see how the program is working. We will share the results and celebrate success!
Below you will find several documents:
The Ask Me! Program Flyer, which gives the basics of the training can be found here.
Ask Me! "secret visitor" assessment form
The "Ask Me!" program was first offered several times during September, 2015.
The Chamber is prepared to take the program directly to area employers if it fits their needs better, at staff meetings, for example.
Registrations for the sessions at the Community Center are requested to ensure adequate handouts. Contact Kaye Iftner (217-285-2971 or firstname.lastname@example.com)

Color Theory: Achromatic Color Scheme {Week 33}
This week we continue our month-long study of color as we play with achromatic colors. By definition, achromatic means, "free from, or without color" and in photography includes imagery that has black and white tones, with various values of grey.
Below is my oldest son in a rare moment of stillness. The perfect color scheme to complement the mood of his expression, involves various shades of achromatic grey.

Evening cold hunted dress slipper wearers. My it was cold last night outside the Biftas. Some people weren't even allowed coats so I shan't complain about anything. Will say Bally 'Scribe' chocolate/cocoa brown toe cap Oxfords did pretty well in actual sodden rain, especially as they're crocodile/suede. Its the welts don't you know. Notably 'Our Matey of The Box', live from the carpet, just absorbed the hideous cold like it wasn't there. He was in Rake Lounge and Mr.Hare. At least he had a coat. 'Girls were cold in dresses on wet dark red Astro Turf'' would be one brief description of the scene. Might do a Style Ref.
Meanwhile, didn't see too much inspiring mens stuff walking past us. I did like the idea of what Martin Freeman, Halfling-Mod, was wearing. Shawl collar evening coat, shawl collar two-piece royal blue shawl collar suit. Grosgrain shawl collar shoes. Joking. Little tassel loafers (Mod! Mod! Mod!). Tie pin, I liked too. I liked it cos hardly anyone else was even doing anything. Anyway, started to have a couple of doubts today. About proportion and stuff. Thought might give him a yellow. Hmm. Actually, no, back of the net for having a go Frezza. Bafta goal!
Yes he looks like the Major of Moddleton, but at least it has spirit and vigour. Someone told me the suit is Richard James. Must google it. This will probably come up with me saying its probably Richard James. More detailed reports later perhaps.
Stubbs out.

Jamaica's investment and export promotions agency, Jampro, is finalising its plan for the launch of the National Investment Policy, a framework expected to help Jamaica reach its investment target of US$2.5 billion by 2020.
It's the first of its kind for the country, and Jampro reckons that this policy is what the country needs to align the efforts of all entities involved in the attraction of facilitation of local and foreign investments.
Already the development of the policy has received the stamp of approval of Cabinet and a policy steering committee has also been named with the first meeting scheduled to take place in a week. Chairman of Jampro Don Wehby, who also holds the post of chief executive officer of Grace Kennedy, has been appointed chairman of the policy steering committee by Prime Minister Andrew Holness.
"We believe that this framework will revolutionise the decentralised handling of investors and dispersion of the investor experience across various arms of Government, while ensuring that there is cohesion among these agencies," Wehby said at the recently held National Competitiveness Council 7th Annual Business Environment Roundtable at the Terra Nova Hotel in Kingston.
Ultimately Jampro's goal is to triple investments in Jamaica to US$2.5 billion from current investment levels of US$800 million. Jamaica also hopes to see export sales grow to US$2.5 billion in keeping with the National Export Strategy, while creating an additional 100,000 jobs over the next three years.
To undergird the National Investment Policy, the Government says it will provide a politically stable environment conducive to private investment; an atmosphere where investments are safe and the expropriation of investment capital is not a considered option; and a legal environment based on a long tradition of parliamentary democracy.
Additionally, Government is expected to implement the rule of constitutional and statute laws and where security of life and personal property are guaranteed, a stable macroeconomic environment bolstered by prudent fiscal management, a stable exchange rate, flexible exchange control rules and free trade; dependable public utilities; and essential public infrastructure such as roads, ports and airports.
"A major pillar of the strategy recognises that work needs to be done in ensuring that Jamaica is competitive to attract the level of businesses needed to achieve these targets. We recognise that the strategy must also focus on the creation of business environment that is conducive to new and expanding business," Wehby said.
With a small domestic economy, Jamaica is highly dependent on the export of goods and services in order to earn the foreign exchange required to finance the imports of inputs into the economy.
Traditionally the main foreign exchange earners are: tourism, bauxite and alumina, and agriculture. However, the current growth strategy is based on moving the country up the value chain through positioning Jamaica as the fourth node in the global logistics network to complement Singapore, Dubai and Rotterdam.
"A key example of how we expect the National Investment Policy to work is already demonstrated in how the Shovel Ready Investment Programme is already working. With the support of the Tourism Enhancement Fund, the Ministry of Tourism and NEPA, this programme identifies both public and privately owned lands that are appropriate for tourism development, seek parameters for the type of development allowed, package and promote the properties to potential investors, and fast-track the development approval process to speed up the investment cycle," Wehby reasoned.
"With 16 properties in the programme, already we have recorded success with Karisma's 5,000 hotel room project in St Ann and are actively facilitating interest of eight investors in other properties. This is the kind of impact we can expect when we partner across Government to facilitate economic growth and creation of jobs," he said.

In the last couple of years, I've been slowly ridding my closet of clothes that have been with me for way too long. Though they have served me well, I've either fallen out of love with most of those items or they no longer fit me well anymore. My goal is to have my closet cleaned out to its bare bones with only key pieces that serve as building blocks to make getting dressed a cinch and exciting once again. And that my friend, means buying a few core staples that will serve as the foundation to many outfit options as opposed to a bunch of senseless pieces that really don't go with anything. Scrolling through all the beautiful lust-worthy styles from the Nordstrom Sale has definitely gotten me motivated to see that process through, come what may this year. The older I get, the more selective and discretionary of what I buy I've become. So obviously, I'm not going to purchase everything on my wishlist in one fell swoop. Curating one's wardrobe should be carefully done, building it with true to yourself items that are not just stylish, but classy, timeless and most importantly, pieces that make you feel pretty good about yourself. These favorite fashion finds are a few of what I'd like to start off with.

Thanks for joining me in this first post to a new blog, a new business, and next phase of life for my family and I. We are very grateful for my position, being able to transition into a new shop and begin to see a dream come into reality, and enjoying the process of not being where my imagination is. Even the new and exciting does come with its fair share of challenges, as we are still getting settled in our new city, and technically we don't even have a city yet. Part of this decision to move here came with the gift a being able to live with a family that opened its doors to allow us the opportunity to get on our feet...and that is working, I feel a place of our own is in the near future.
Onto the work....after spending the first month getting things into place in the shop, I finally felt comfortable starting a new project, I began thinking about a coffee table idea that had been floating around in my head for a while. No fancy drawings, no graph paper or even measurements. I don't work well that way. Just a basic sketch, a little time spent mocking it up...usually out of cardboard or poplar just to dial in proportions, then start the build. When I don't go in with a certain agenda I can let the build evolve, letting the wood or piece just speak for itself.
The coffee table idea is the sketch that I put as the header for this blog, which has changed a little, due to the material. I was blessed with a slab of walnut that had perfect clean grain and a slight curve...it would fit perfect for my design, I like that, when the grain helps decide the shape. I was fortunate to be able to help mill this log up, when we lifted the first piece off, we were able to see the grain, I knew it would work perfect. Up to that point, I was reluctantly going to put this idea on hold, waiting to find that perfect piece of wood for the project. I didn't have too and I am now about half way through the build. I really enjoy working with walnut, it hand planes beautifully and doesn't abuse my tools, leaving a blade edge sharp, for multiple finish passes.
This coffee table is shop sawn veneer construction with shop made substrate, a solid walnut base, and brass hardware. Two curved front drawers with hand cut dovetails. It has been a challenging build so far, having subtle curves on all sides has proven time consuming. Also, it is taking many hours from my sleep, when I wake up in the middle of the night my mind drifts immediately to the build. In school they used to say "curves triple the time for the build", that is true.
I'll leave you with a before pic of the Walnut log that slowly turning into a coffee table...

Jenkinson: West Ham will not settle for mid-table
West Ham are determined to turn their poor second half of the Premier League season around and finish with a flourish, says Carl Jenkinson.
Sam Allardyce's side enjoyed a remarkable start to the campaign, sitting as high as fourth after 17 matches to spark talk of qualifying for Europe.
But the subsequent 16 games have yielded only 12 points to leave West Ham 10th ahead of Saturday's trip to relegation-threatened London rivals QPR.
"Our dressing room is fired up," Jenkinson, on loan from Arsenal, told West Ham's official website. "If you go in the dressing room after the game people aren't resting on their laurels, people aren't happy finishing mid-table.
"We want to kick on, we've got things to prove because we've been on a bad run recently and we want to put that right for us and the fans.
"We want to finish as high up the league table as possible. After the start we had we're not just going to accept a mid-table finish."

February 27, 1987, Section C, Page 15Buy Reprints
FREDDY KRUEGER is the most talkative of slashers, and also the most creative. In ''A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors,'' which opens today at the Embassy 2 and 3 and other theaters, he displays a great debt to Dali in concocting surreal visions for his prey. When Freddy enters the dreams of his teen-age victims, ordinary objects become armed and dangerous. A bathroom faucet may sprout claws like Freddy's and grab its victim. A mirror may snatch up someone passing by. A roasted pig may rear up from the dining room table and growl. Small wonder that one young woman gulps down undiluted instant-coffee crystals, in her efforts to avoid Freddy's idea of dreamland.
In the new film, directed by Chuck Russell (who co-wrote ''Dreamscape''), a group of young people are brought together on the psychiatric ward of a hospital, united by Freddy's ability to enter their dreams. What they have in common, it develops, is a tie to the Elm Street of the first film, though no one explains why they never ran into one another on the block. In any case, they band together in an effort to fend off Freddy, whose method is to generate fantasies so awful they lure people to their deaths. In one such sequence, a young woman innocently watching late-night television is provoked to the point of suicide when she sees Dick Cavett turn into Freddy and attack Zsa Zsa Gabor.
The film's dream sequences are ingenious, and they feature some remarkable nightmare images and special effects. Freddy may emerge as a giant man-eating serpent, or perhaps as a puppet come to life, maybe even as a beautiful woman who quite literally tongue-lashes and tongue-ties her prey. If his victim has a fondness for drugs, he may develop syringe-like fingers; for a person who is paralyzed, he may devise an extra-special wheelchair. Mr. Russell, directing a screenplay by Wes Craven and Bruce Wagner, keeps the visions varied and clever. Unfortunately, the overall film lacks the tight logic of its dream episodes. It's never quite clear when and how Freddy can enter a dream, how many people can see him simultaneously, how often he can kill off the same victim (some die, and some just wake up with a tell-tale scratch or two). Also, Mr. Russell mounts the nightmares a lot more effectively than he directs the actors in quieter moments. Craig Wasson is on the bland side as a doctor investigating the Freddy problem. And Heather Langenkamp, as a beautiful dream disorder expert who is an old hand at Freddy's game, hardly radiates the poise of a medical professional. If anything, she brings to mind the Miss America Pageant and its talent competition.
Some of the tormented teen-age roles are well played (Patricia Arquette as one haggard insomniac, Jennifer Rubin as another), and Priscilla Pointer is dependably good as a Freddy-proof doctor. But the real star is Freddy himself, brought scarily to life by Robert Englund. Freddy taunts his victims a lot more vocally and colorfully than most of his horror-film comrades; he's much better company than Jason (''Friday the 13th''), for example. Despite a subplot that involves a mysterious nun and finally labels him as ''the bastard son of a hundred maniacs,'' he seems to be insult-proof, too. And indestructible. Though one of the more remarkable episodes reduces him to the status of a mere skeleton, the film ends with the obligatory frisson of foreboding. Freddy will be back. Perchance to Dream A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3:
DREAM WARRIORS, directed by Chuck Russell; written by Wes Craven and Bruce Wagner; director of photography, Roy Wagner; edited by Terry Stokes; music by Angelo Badalamenti; produced by Robert Shaye; released by New Line Cinema. At Embassy 2, Broadway at 47th Street; Embassy 3, Broadway at 47th Street; Orpheum Twin, 86th Street near Third Avenue; Loews 84th Street Six, near Broadway; Eighth Street Playhouse, near Avenue of the Americas, and other theaters.

Top 3 Takeaways from Restaurant Finance & Development Conference 2017

If this year's Restaurant Finance & Development Conference in Las Vegas made one thing clear, it's that the time has come for restaurant operators to be decisive in the midst of industry disruption.
The restaurant industry is currently experiencing a historic level of change — new brands are emerging, old brands are trying to adapt, and the rapid development of technology is affecting both businesses and consumers.
RFDC brought together restaurant leaders, executives, investors, and innovators to explore all of these changes and the wealth of opportunities they open up for businesses as well as the banks and private equity firms investing in them.
It was a fantastic and illuminating three days, and believe us when we say we learned a lot from various industry heavyweights. Seriously, there was a lot. But in the interest of your time, we've narrowed down the three big things we learned:
The Demand for Delivery is Only Growing
Delivery is a huge trend right now, and it isn't going away! Conference attendees heard from many brands who are ramping up their delivery strategies, from building delivery-only kitchens to entire locations specifically for delivery and take-out orders. What concerns operators is how they can offer delivery services while simultaneously preserving their brand experience.
And it's not just about building out the delivery arm of your restaurant — many operators also want representation in the burgeoning third-party delivery market. There are currently 28 delivery companies, and operators agree that they need to negotiate a fair percentage (roughly 12-30%) with these aggregators — services like GrubHub, Seamless, UberEats, etc.
While the majority of operators know they need to address this demand for delivery, some are jumping in with both feet first, and others are cautiously observing for the time being. Corner Bakery, for instance, makes 25% of its sales from delivery orders.
We heard from multiple operators that the decision to offer delivery is highly dependent on the menu and current level of traffic in the restaurant. Technology solutions that provide the ability to forecast sales by revenue center can help operators and managers optimize their labor costs and increase sales.
It's Time to Leverage Your Data
"Data." That's another word we heard constantly at RFDC. Your restaurant has a ton of it. Every restaurant does, really. But what are you doing with that data? Boston Consulting Group talked about the speed of consumer tech adoption and how progressive operators like Panera Bread, Starbucks, and Domino's Pizza are thriving as they take advantage of the data they collect from digital orders and delivery.
These brands also described some pretty advanced applications of machine learning and robotics in the industry. Take Starbucks, for example — they have your data thanks to their incredibly popular mobile app. By adding weather and traffic forecasts and running that data through an algorithm, the app can make personalized offers to customers, resulting in increased per member sales growth.
These computer-generated recommendations, or insights, are the future of restaurant technology and will be the key to helping operators and their managers forecast needs, control costs and grow topline revenue across stores.
Commitment to Culture is Key
Perhaps surprisingly, a CFO panel focused less on numbers and more on the idea that corporate culture and community impact are vitally important to any business. We were particularly struck by the impressive, people-first mission at Mod Pizza, a chain that is committed to giving people a second chance through work.
We also heard from Snooze Eatery, a valued HotSchedules customer, who boast an admirable commitment to the environment. Snooze locations compost and recycle 90% of the waste from their restaurants, a move that resonates quite well with their millennial workforce.
"Culture is not what you put on paper," said Bill Long, Snooze's Chief Financial Officer. "It's the set of behaviors that you see every day in the stores."

QuantArray®-Chlor during Site Assessment and Remedy Selection
The study site is a portion of a chemical manufacturing facility impacted by 1,1,2-trichloroethane (TCA), 1,2-dichloroethane (DCA), trichloroethene (TCE), and chloroform. Daughter products including 1,2-dichloroethene (DCE), vinyl chloride, and ethene have been routinely detected suggesting that reductive dechlorination has occurred to some extent historically. With a complex mixture of chlorinated compounds, the possibility of inhibition, as well as the potential for multiple and converging biodegradation pathways, QuantArray®-Chlor was integrated into groundwater monitoring to evaluate biodegradation processes under existing site conditions, potential remediation options, and ultimately performance monitoring (QuantArray-Chlor during Performance Monitoring).
QuantArray-Chlor Results and Interpretation
The Microbial Population figure for observation well OW3 shown below presents the concentrations of target poulations compared to typically observed concentrations to give an overview of the potential biodegradation pathways.

Since changing my diet and cutting out wheat, gluten, grains, and any heavily processed carbohydrates, I've been surprised at how little I have missed certain things I thought I would struggle horrendously without. I always loved pizza. I always, always loved carbonara. Needless to say, I've always been fond of cheese. And I even went through a phase where I'd get home from school and make a huge bowl of pasta with cheese and baked beans, as a snack. A pre-dinner before my dinner. So to say goodbye to my favourite Italian dishes seemed a crying shame, but I soon became more excited by making spaghetti out of vegetables, and pestos and sauces out of natural ingredients.
This recipe is a cut above all other veggie pasta dishes, and tastes so much more like the real thing, and in my opinion, so much better than it, too. It all began when I was in the kitchen making an insanely good soup, surrounded by brilliant ingredients all not really knowing what they were there for, what they were doing or where they were gonna end up. If ever a vegetable or a legume could look unsure of itself, it was at this moment, in my kitchen. The ingredients were not familiar with one other, and no one was feeling confident about how their time spent together was going to end up, but something happened in that blender that should have happened a long, long time ago.
I've made carbonara sauce before, but I wanted to make a new version without using coconut or nuts - as I find coconut milk can be quite rich sometimes, and I've also been trying to reduce the amount of nuts I eat recently, because I went a bit overboard for a while. The beans in this recipe make it a good source of protein, and the lack of thick, processed cream or real cheese make it lower in bad fats and completely free from dairy, unlike most shop bought sauces and conventional recipes. The beans, combined with the oil and water, create a wholesome, flavoursome creaminess, even tastier than what would be achieved with real cream, and the nutritional yeast creates a mild cheesy flavour - essential in any pasta dish. This recipe is entirely gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, grain free, nut free, vegan and vegetarian. You can enjoy it plain (pictured above), with fresh herbs, or with your own choice of vegetables, meat, fish or seafood.
+ You can also omit the pasta entirely, and enjoy the sauce on its own as a simple White Bean Soup, served hot or cold as a gazpacho.
serves 3-4
320g White Beans / Cannelloni Beans
1/2 Cup Olive Oil
1 Cup Water (can also use almond or coconut milk for an even creamier sauce)
4-5 Tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
1/4-1/2 Teaspoon Himalayan Pink Salt
Pepper, to taste
Small Handful Fresh Basil Leaves
180-200g Gluten Free/Buckwheat/Spelt (not gluten free)/Black Bean/Mung Bean/Edamame Pasta or Regular Spaghetti
1 Small Clove Garlic, crushed
1 Teaspoon Mustard
Handful Fresh Basil
1-2 Tablespoons Homemade Dairy Free Nut Pesto
Pepper, to season
Handful Fresh Basil
Sauteed Mushrooms
Roasted Chestnuts
Fresh or Raw Spinach, Watercress or Rocket
Fresh Cherry Tomatoes
Roasted Vegetables
Organic Bacon
Grilled/Shredded Chicken
Flaked/Smoked Salmon
Start by blending together the beans, olive oil, water, nutritional yeast and salt. Blend for 2-3 minutes on the highest speed your blender can reach. Meanwhile, bring a medium pan of water to the boil and, once boiling, add your spaghetti or whichever type of pasta you are using. Add a little salt and a dash of olive or coconut oil to reduce the risk of the pasta sticking together (this can be quite common with gluten free pasta's, depending on which alternative you go for). Once the sauce is blended and has become a smooth consistency, taste it to check you are happy with the flavour and texture. Add more nutritional yeast if you want it slightly cheesier, more salt (and pepper) to season, more water if you want a thinner sauce, and any extras from the Optional section of the ingredients list. (If you want to add bacon, don't blend this into the sauce. Simply fry or grill the bacon, cut into small pieces and set aside to stir through the pasta, once it is cooked).
When you are happy with your sauce, and when the pasta is cooked, drain the pasta, return it to the pan and stir through the sauce. At this point, add your bacon or any other toppings of your choice. Heat through for a couple of minutes then serve. Finish with a little extra olive oil, a sprinkling of salt and a drizzle of fresh lemon juice.
+ You can also use the sauce recipe as an alternative to cheese sauce, which you can use in a healthier lasagne or pasta bake.

When I first arrived at Climate Camp, I was surprised to see a wide age range. Yet we all became great friends in the time span of a week.
We had the opportunity to bike around downtown Indianapolis and visit the Nature Conservancy, Indiana State Museum, The Sky Farm at Eskenazi Health. It was amazing to see that you can have a farm and/or garden anywhere you live, even in the city.
While at the Sky Farm, we could smell the fumes from a local brewery, giving us a visual of what we had been talking about. That everything you choose to do has an impact on the people around you.
One of the most interesting facts that I learned was that your toilet wastes more water than your other household actions.
The other day, I was wearing my climate camp t-shirt and someone asked me about my future. They were surprised to hear about the temperature rise, scarce amounts of clean water, and that food supplies will be threatened. And than when I mentioned that reducing your personal consumption could help solve these problems, she was completely shocked! She had said, that she had no idea that your clothes go to the landfills when you throw them away.
The whole week of camp was an amazing experience and I learned so many new things and I'm sure all of the other campers did as well; from going around Indianapolis and seeing how Indiana is trying to help fight Climate Change and promoting possible solutions.
