Hey there Selah fans. I'm Amy, and I deal with weight issues. Anyone who has seen me in concert has heard me talk about my battle, both physical and emotional. Well, I've just started Weight Watchers and I've started a blog, so I'd like to invite you to check it out…
"I'm not a very good writer. I'm not a very dedicated blogger. I'm good at a couple of things. Trying to sound as humble as a person can sound when listing the things they excel at, I'm very good at singing, cleaning, organizing and loving others. That didn't sound too bad, did it? Anyways, it seems though, that no matter how good, or even great I am at those few things, the list of things I'm not good at is huge. It also seems that, the list of things I'm not good at tends to overshadow the good, at least in my mind…. "

Hey there Selah fans. I'm Amy, and I deal with weight issues. Anyone who has seen me in concert has heard me talk about my battle, both physical and emotional. Well, I've just started Weight Watchers and I've started a blog, so I'd like to invite you to check it out…
19 Responses to "Weight Watchers"
Congratulations Amy you are taking the first step of a lifetime of changes. I too have struggled all my life with my weight and will continue until i die. First lesson was to come to love yourself and accept yourself as God has. The enemy will always try to put you back down but with God's help you can defeat that foe. You are not alone in this journey.
I guess I am looking for someone who is available every day that I can text whenever I am feeling weak! (which is most of the time lol) someone who has the same problem. I need to lose 80 pounds! Oh how I want to be a size 9 again lol but it's unfair that all the skinny people have no problems but I am doomed to watch every bite and walk three miles a day to get thin lol! This is my God challenge cause He knew I would be this way! Can I do it? Willpower!!!! Let's do it!!
I totally relate! My mom and I are getting ready to go back to WW for the millionth time. Keep working at it, it's hard but with Christ all things are possible!
There is a really great bible study called "woman of moderation" by Dee Brestin. It is a biblical look at how we are to view food. It can be done in conjunction with weight watchers. It has really helped me to submit to Christ in the way that I eat and think.
How is it going Amy?
Well Amy… let me tell you something.. when you have Jesus in your hearth, there is no space to think in other stuffs.. there is no space to the enemy and his bad tricks… that tricks that put you in some circunstances trying to push you away from the one who has gave the live for you… If you have your Savior in your mind and hearth, you won't need to think in bad things around you… you will think in every blessing Jesus has gave to you. God bless you and don't worry… Christ is always with you and He knows how to change bad things in good news…
Hi Amy!I really admire your openess about something that is so personal.I pray that God will help you overcome all that you are battling.Remember God looks at the heart and sees your heart and most important your motives!I will keep you in my prayers.Lots of Love xxxx
Amy. I too have struggled with issues with my weight since childhood. Almost 6 yrs. ago, at the age of 39, I gave birth to my son. He was 2 1/2 mo. premature and weighed 1 lb. 9 oz.! He's done amazingly well, although he does have a very rare growth disorder. I blame myself for the complications that lead to his prematurity and I couldn't bare the thought of being that "OLD, FAT, LAZY woman that can't take care of or enjoy her child". I asked God for guidance and he led me to Gastric Bypass surgery. Amy…..it has been the best decision I have ever made for myself! I am a year into my weight loss and I have gone from a size 24 jean to a 12-13! I no longer have diabeties or high blood pressure. I can get down on the floor and chase my son around. The best part is…….I'll be able to take him to an amusement park and RIDE THE RIDES!!! I couldn't do that with my daughter when she was little…so I avoided them. Now she battles her weight also. By the way…..I was blessed to see you in concert with Selah soon after you joined the group and shortly after the birth of my son. YOU ARE AMAZING……and you sell yourself short. There is so much more to you than what we see on the outside. You touch the lives of so many people that you will NEVER even know with your beautiful voice. How amazing is that?
Amy – you are beautiful and you have the most amazing voice i have ever heard. It saddens me to imagine your inner struggle. But i am reminded that if a bird is trying to peck it's way out of its eggshell and a human comes along and helps it, the baby bird will die. I think that life was meant to be hard. It seems that struggle is built in somehow. So don't beat yourself up and don't get bitter because you are not perfect. None of us are……
Amy – I'm a man and joined WW on 6/23/09 last summer. I'm down 66 pounds and while it has been a struggle occasionally IT WORKS so "Press On" girl. I heard you in concert at the Shawnee Mission Medical Center's Celebration Thanksgiving at New Have SDA Church. You all were awesome. Tell Allan he's a hoot and I love his enthusiasm!
I probably should have used my name instead of yours in the address field in the above post. In any event, I know it can be done because I did it and I have failed at every other diet that I have attempted.
I'm sorry but I do not believe in WW. Healthy eating and daily physical activity combined with prayerful prayer will do the job. Talk with a RD, make a list of tasty foods and quite simply stay away from red and processed meat and foods. Understand that quite simply the majority of the foods for sale in your local supermarket are not suitable for humman consumption. Understand – good or bad – that people who are mostly vegetarians far outlive those who are big on meat. As far a gastric bypass is concerned – I do not recommend it unless you simply have no alternative.
Love – really,
Stephen, EMT
Amy, You are beautiful and I applaud your battle against weight. I struggle with it as well. Diet and exercise can change things for you. I know it is hard. I will pray for you. "Press On" dear. In Christs love, Jon
Amy, I too have struggled with my weight for most of my life! I got to a point where I was up to 263 pounds and could think of a good reason why I had let myself get there! I too started weight watchers! It was the best move that I could have made. The support is absolutely amazing. I've lost 77 lbs and recently got married and have been stuck for a while but am back to the downward slide. I really encourage you to never give up on that goal even if you get stuck. I lost 77 lb in 1 1/2 yrs, its been two yrs and I'm still there. It is a little bit discouraging but I look at it like at least I didn't gain it all back.
Congratulations on your current weight loss and all the weight you WILL lose in the future! YAY, I'm glad that you have found a program that really does work!
Alaina Hansel
Amy, I have struggled all my life with this problem. Congratulations on your starting WW. It does work, it just takes dedication and lots of prayer. This journey has to be a life style change and it will be worth it. I have done the program and lost quiet a bit of weight, unfortunately gained some of it back, but back on the program now.
Good luck and God Bless. YOU CAN DO IT!
well, Amy to me you're a beautiful as a person and as a singer . if losing some weights makes you more better in praising our Lord Jesus then go for it. Good luck and Jesus bless you.
It is appropriate time to make some plans for the future and it is time to be happy.
I've read this post and if I could I want to suggest you few interesting things or suggestions. Maybe you could write next articles referring to this article. I want to read more things about it!
Heya i'm for the primary time here. I found this board and I find It really helpful & it helped me out much. I hope to provide one thing back and aid others like you helped me.
We can transform the varieties even as we like, and it is the best
to decide on those that are high in chlorophyll and dietary
fibers. The is hard to avoid, but is regarded as the dangerous to weight gain.
If you have been listening to diet nonsense on TV, inside the magazines and inside the lunch room, you may be skeptical on
this, but that is science. When in comparison to the
estimates of the various designs of plates, individuals with the larger rims were approximated to get between five and
10 % more food than was actually there. Apples contain pectin that is known to suppress appetite.

My Completed December Daily 2015 Album
After a solid week of working on my December Daily album, I'm so happy to say it's done! I'm surprised + thrilled to have it done this month because I hardly worked on it at all in December. I think I printed a large batch of photos here at home mid-month, slipped them in the page protectors, and then didn't really touch it again until after the kids were back in school after the New Year. Not at all how I planned to work, but such is life.
The only prep work I did was putting my page protectors in order and making the date / number cards after I received my kit back in the fall. I stuck with the date cards (except one, the 21st), but did rearrange my page protectors a bit to match my photo orientation and quantity. Below you can flip through my gallery and see each spread in full. I mainly stuck with Ali's main kit, plus Kelly and Peppermint's mini kits for product - and mixed in a couple of Ali's stamp sets and little bits from my stash to round out my album. I have a full supply list at the end of this post.
You'll also notice that I started before December 1st. We spent Thanksgiving in Florida last year and our Christmas festivities began almost immediately after we got back home, so I decided to start then. Had I not, I would have missed our Secret Santa name exchange and cutting down our Christmas tree - two big holiday events for us.
Click on any of the images below to make it larger, and use the side arrows to scroll through :
Before I started working on my album, I wrapped the front cover with kraft shipping paper to keep it clean. Once I was done with the inside pages, I removed the paper and stamped these little trees using a stamp from Worthwhile Paper on the front, two on the spine and one on the back. Nerve-wracking, yes! But it turned out great with Staz-on ink.
Rather than give a blow-by-blow detail of each spread, I wanted to share some random observations I noticed about how I worked, what I tended to use (or not use), what I loved, etc. as I assembled my album :
- In the past I've loved using red or gold metallic for my machine stitching, but apparently I didn't take the time to swap them out in my machine this year and stuck with white.
- Over the years I've done a mix of either ending my album on the 25th, or going all the way through to the 31st. Since I started before December 1st this year, I ended on Christmas Day and used the closing page of this album to recap the following week through New Years.
- While I had pulled a few out to use, there was little to no craft die action this year. Pre-cutting some designs out ahead of time may have helped. I also didn't use the Silhouette at all either.
- But I did do lots of stamping - yeah! In the past I haven't used the stamp set much, but I really loved the one I got from Ali, and her Storytelling with December Daily class stamp, plus some Clearly Kelly stamps.
- I included a mix of long and short stories. Every day was different as far as events / plans / activities go, and some just didn't have a long story to share. This year I tried to remember that not everything has to be holiday related and got a fair amount of "everyday" stuff documented too.
- Other than Morgan + Parker's wish lists that I intentionally asked them to write on 4x6 cardstock, I didn't get Mark or the kids involved this year - and I think that's okay. I'll consider this December through my eyes.
- I didn't use the silkscreen or paint from the main kit. Totally forgot about it!
- I LOVED Ali's log that was included as a preorder bonus. It was a priceless piece considering I sucked at keeping up at all in December. Also, I'm happy I took the time to journal pretty much every day.
- Not every story happened on the day I documented it. On some days nothing happened, and others, a few things did. For example - Parker's gingerbread decorating party was the same day as Mark's holiday party, so I saved one event for another less-eventful day.
- When my album was complete, I was pretty anxious to clean my desk off. I did a ruthless purge of supplies that either I didn't want anymore, know I wouldn't use next year, or I used so much in this album that I probably wouldn't use again. I am really happy with the amount of product I used (I don't feel like I over purchased at all) and I love the leftover stuff enough to include it next time. I'm also taking the chance that I'm going to want a fresh kit again this year - especially if Ali formats it the way she did last year. I loved the variety and how you could purchase the pieces you wanted.
- 6x8 felt big. Overwhelming perhaps, though this was my 4th December Daily in that size. I did a full spread for each day and I felt like I was adding a little more filler than I'd like. I need to remember this in 8 months when I'm buying for this December. I may entertain a smaller album, like 4x4 or 4x6, next time.
If you have any questions at all, from process to product, please let me know in the comments below. Thanks for looking!
Supplies used : White chipboard 6x8 album, Ali Edwards 2015 main kit, Kelly Purkey 2015 mini kit, One Little Bird 2015 mini kit, tab stickers, Ali Edwards Holiday Circles stamp set, Storytelling with December Daily stamp set, Kelly Purkey Greenpoint alpha, Clearly Kelly Holiday stamps, Worthwhile Paper tree stamp, Jamaica Makes letterpress cards + large reading/watching/shopping tag, Tim Holtz Small Talk stickers, assorted Color Theory inks, black Staz-on (on the cover), Versafine Black Onyx ink.

English Menu: No
Average price: 25-35 NIS
Address: 1 Nahalat Benyamin st.
We raved about Shimon chicken before, completely convinced that they are the only good rotisserie in Tel Aviv. Don't get us wrong, we still think Shimon's chicken is delicious, but they have a solid competition couple of blocks away: Tipico chicken!
It's a bit more expensive than Shimon's, but it's not the same: Tipico uses a more flavorsome spice rub that contains paprika and coriander seeds. And because of the way Tipico grills the chicken, it's less greasy than Shimon's and a bit more delicate.
Tipico's potato wedges are great as well, and are baked with the grease and juices of the chicken.
How to get there
Nachalat Binyamin 1 is on the beginning of the pedestrian st., in the intersection of King George and Allenby, right across Agadir.

Rachel & Elih Mission Wedding
We first met Rachel and Elih at Starbucks in Maple Ridge for a quick chat about their wedding day over coffee (thanks to our friends at Jack Coffee for connecting us, you guys rock!!). Everything was pretty normal until near the end of our meeting. We had mentioned wanting to do some fun pictures involving a couple in water, like a lake. We typically throw out small ideas to our couples to help think of ideas, but we never actually expect them to agree to ALL the ideas! Long story short, Rachel and Elih were down to have some fun with their pictures, and we ended up with some pretty awesome pictures in Alloutte Lake with smoke bombs going off in the background.
For their wedding day we were a bit scared to suggest anything that might have Rachel and Elih ruining their wedding day attire.. simply because we knew there was a good chance that they would say yes!
Even though it was a November day filled with rain and wind, the warmth from these two and their friends and family made it such a great day to be a part of. Every word of encouragement. Every prayer. Every hug. Every one of these moments had such beauty and was filled with love.
We hope these images begin to tell the story of their day!

Goodness gracious, great ball of fire!
Yeah, I fell about as good about making that joke as you do about reading it...
So, in The Wizard's asbestos-lined dungeon cell, there are multiple nozzles releasing nerve gas. Because having a teenager hack up his own lungs in incredible, searing pain whilst dying in front of a pube-chinned genius psychopath would possibly contravene the Comics Code Authority, Stan and/or Jack as to come up with a way to allow Johnny to survive.
So, what he does is create an impenetrable dome of fire to prevent the gas from reaching him. What I'm challenging here is not the implausibility of the flame defeating the gas - it's very conceivable that intense heat would do something to the gas to negate its lethal qualities - but that Johnny have the intelligence to be able to make such a move in stressful conditions. As Andy has pointed out on numerous occasions, Johnny is a couple of brain cells short of an intelligence...

Cuisine d'influence @ Dan/
Gastrology bloggers dined courtesy of Dan.
Bordeaux's younger and more cosmopolitan vibe is lending itself to an evolving gastronomic scene, bringing exciting innovation into the local food scene. Leading the charge is restaurant owner and chef, Jérôme Billot.
Well-travelled with an impressive resume including stints at Bouchon, Watermark and Café de Paris in Hong Kong, Billot offers unique cuisine d'influence which blends French cuisine and Chinese culinary tradition. The menu is, quite simply put, sensational.
The dining room is cosy and absolutely charming while the service is attentive and warm.
Malay-style marinated silky tofu, sweetcorn and coconut mousse; Steamed buns
Foie gras scented shrimp wontons with light crustacean bisque
One of Restaurant Dan's signature dishes (and for good reason), the wontons consisted of fragrant and flavoursome shrimp within soft pastry. The addition of foie gras was a masterstroke, delivering a captivating richness. The accompanying bisque was an unctuous, cloudy concoction of flavours.
Steamed wild caught hake with fermented black beans, "lap yok" (air dried spiced pork belly) braised baby romaine lettuce and celeriac frothy milk
A dish that allowed the natural subtle sweetness of the wild hake to be enjoyed, the consommé boasted a decadent depth of flavour and was the perfect accompaniment to the fish.
Blaye's white asparagus in fried garlic crust, "onsen" style farm egg and spring almond sabayon
We loved the perfectly poached onsen egg which was accompanied by deliciously crusted white asparagus and slathered with silky smooth almond sabayon. It was a simple dish executed to perfection.
Poached farm yellow chicken, nori sea weed, clams, samphire, parsnip and uni
The chicken was tender and superbly cooked courtesy of being gently poached while the nori added an addictive salinity to the dish.
Slow cooked and lacquered BBQ black pork, Sichuan braised eggplant and seasonal vegetable pickles
One of our absolute favourite courses from our evening was the dish of "char siu" style black pork with Sichuan braised eggplant. It was a well-conceived dish that took full advantage of the eggplant's most notable characteristic – its supple flesh. The thick pieces of eggplant were encrusted with beautifully caramelised Sichuan sauce. The creamy eggplant flesh melted in the mouth in a manner similar to unctuous pork fat. Paired with the tender char siu, this gem of a dish was one that commands respect.
Sago, coconut and mango - creamy coconut tapioca with mango and coconut sherbet, cracked meringue
The mellow creamy coconut tapioca concoction, together with the coconut sherbet and crisp cracked meringue, cut through the slight fruity acidity of the mango to produce a balanced and delectable dessert.
Equatorial chocolate ganache, sorbet and crumbled biscuit with black sesame praline sauce and royale, minted mousse
The equatorial chocolate ganache was velvety smooth dark chocolate fudge goodness and combined well with the refreshing minted mousse and luxurious sorbet. The addition of black sesame praline added interest as well as a great textural component to the dessert.

"So long as Hawaii was a monarchy, however, a non-Hawaiian would never have complete control of the government and therein lies the tale of Bayonet, the Overthrow and the American annexation.
The same founders of the Independent/Reform Party in 1883 made up the committee of safety that took control of the government in 1893 under the protection of American soldiers and warships. In 1895, in a particularly spiteful and cynical piece of timing, they declared their republic on July 4, a "government" that had all of 4,000 mostly white citizens, and declared Sanford Dole president for life. That this "republic" was set up for no other purpose than to encourage the Americans to annex the islands makes it impossible to commemorate the Fourth as a day of independence. I cannot imagine how any Hawaiian, knowledgeable about this history and feeling any sense of kinship with his or her nineteenth century ancestors, celebrates the Fourth of July."
– Jonathan Osorio, Excerpt from 'A Hawaiian National on Independence Day'
My family is First Nations from northern British Columbia, but I grew up in Hawai`i, and have an American passport. These identities are more than present for me, from July 1st through the 4th as Canada celebrates its Confederation Day and America their Independence Day. As I've become an adult, these four days have also become all the more confusing for me. I didn't grow up with a nationalistic sense, as my parents were always honest with me about the history on which this country was founded. My mother, an African American woman, had us watching Roots at an early age so that we would always understand how the color of our ancestors skin was linked to the inequity of the 'American Dream.' I remember having serious doubts around the age of 10 about the daily standing in school to observe the flag while pledging allegiance to "The United States of America". So much of my ancestry and present reality did not lend itself to comfortably believing in this pledge. Hawai`i is geographically isolated from the mainland of America. We were literally, not united with the rest of the states, and culturally we were being raised with what seemed to be a very different mentality than those raised on the mainland.
The Hawaiian Sovereignty Movement has been present my entire life. On the side of the highways are homemade signs that state just this: "Reinstated Kingdom of Hawai`i". I couldn't always comprehend the full immensity of these signs as a child, but by the simple fact of being native, there was a deeper sense of knowing. I often sit with myself now and ask, "What does it mean to be native?" For me the answer is tied up with an understanding that at some point, invaders arrived on the land of my ancestors and took over through any means necessary. Today we use words like colonization to sum up the before history of massacre, disease and religion, when really colonization is only possible after indigenous populations are left decimated, hanging onto the bare threads of survival. Assimilation is also a part of this process. Through the use of shaming the native or Indian out of populations, total control can be taken, as cultural identity is lost to the larger mass identity of nationalism.
A few years ago new language began to rapidly move around me in the islands. "Occupied by the American Military" was suddenly a way to understand the deeper 'why' behind Hawai`i as a state and the large military base that is on the island of Oahu. "The Overthrow" of the Hawaiian Kingdom became a focal piece of history as the general public started untying the knot between water issues, the shipping industry and our extreme dependence on food and other resources from the mainland. People started understanding their place in it all. The word settler, became commonplace as those non- Hawaiians accepted the actual history of the place they now inhabited. We were not Native Hawaiians, we were from somewhere else, but that didn't mean that we couldn't work together. As it was most recently explained to me, if you are not native to the land you are currently living on, then your responsibility is to support those who's ancestors are of that land in their rightful fight for sovereignty. Part of this process is supporting the re-framing of what was once commonplace. I don't write any of this in an act of shaming, but I do write in an act of honesty. Simply put from my perspective, the celebration of Canada Day and The Fourth of July are a celebration of continual land theft and most importantly, the celebration of Indigenous resiliency in the fight for survival against all odds.
I am aware that there are many other perspectives that one can bring to my viewpoint, but as our "democracy" unravels for all I am sure many more are beginning to feel into this loss of "independence" that native peoples have felt for hundreds of years. There are ways forward, and together, but they will not fit into our conventional sense of business as usual. As The United States takes pause to observe and remember false histories built upon slavery and war, I ask you to take a moment aside from the usual agenda as well. Ask yourself, who are the original caretakers of the land I live on and where are they today? How is their history wrapped up in the one that America is celebrating? And lastly, what do I want my place to be in it all? That might be the most important question, because against all desires of our government at hand, you still have a choice in how and where you bring your voice.
The Prayer:
I've been watching dandelions spring up within my yard over the last months. At first there were just a few, lone yellow topped stalks that budded closed at night and wisped across the yard over the days, seeding the barren soil. Now they are everywhere, covering whole areas with their thick dark green leaves, I can't help but look at them and think, "against all odds." Dandelions are incredible. The plant itself is a token of resiliency, a reminder that even where seemingly nothing can regrow, there will be life again. When used medicinally to treat inflamed livers, they whisper, "this too will heal." I decided that for these thoughts I wanted to sit with these plants as a way to provide healing for my own anger and pain. The prayer that wanted to come forward was one that asked for wholeness.
I collected petals that had fallen from their stems over the last week and began to weave them into the base of dandelions, re-forming them into a larger flower. I thought about how many of us are scattered from our true places of origin, how many of us hurting in our search for a place to call home. There is so much that cannot be rebuilt to replicate what was, but that does not mean re-building cannot happen. The reality is just that what will be born will look different than what was. I don't think its wrong that it hurts to come to that realization, because it does hurt. In matters of reconciliation we ask, "What is possible?" Sometimes the answers seem futile, not enough for all the wrong that has been. But then I have to ask myself, "Will my anger feed me and those around me into further right action?" I know that it won't. I know that the real injustice is to live my life out of anger and the only real possibility of reconciliation is to define my own healing.
This is my own prayer for healing from the roots up.

Many years ago I toured a vineyard in Napa Valley with a dear friend that makes an incredible champagne called Querencia. It was literally the most magical substance I had ever tasted, and I was completely enamored with the name. Querencia is a metaphysical concept in the Spanish language that describes a place where one feels safe, a place from which one's strength of character is drawn, a place where one feels at home.
As we in the U.S. enjoy Thanksgiving this year, I wish each of you querencia wherever you are. If things are challenging for you right now, remember that querencia is also an inner space you can lean into. If you are with people you love, celebrate and appreciate the qualities of home they bring to your life. I am personally grateful to all of you for surrounding my life with so much beauty, community, strength and joy.
I recently completed the painting above and it is entitled 'Home.' It is filled with these qualities of querencia. More information about it is available HERE.
May you have plenty of all the goodness life can offer, may you find joy in the simple things, and may you share your abundance with those around you. Happy Thanksgiving!!

Last week in Singapore, Ralph Cram, President and Manager of Envoy Net Lease Partners, took time out to present his thoughts on investing opportunities in the U.S. net lease real estate market with a local audience of investors and financial consultants.
Among Mr. Cram's comments:
"Asian real estate investment in the United States is thriving," Mr. Cram said. "In the past few years, Chinese nationals nearly doubled their investment in U.S. real estate from US$8.2 billion in 2012 to US$14 billion in 2013."
Mr. Cram noted that the U.S. net lease market has been growing in popularity and that foreign investors have become major acquirers of net lease properties as a wealth preservation strategy.
"In 2013 alone, nearly 50,000 net lease transactions occurred in the U.S. totaling US$104 billion, with the average investment equaling US$2.1 million," he said, adding that single tenant retail stores, office buildings, industrial properties and medical facilities all fall within the net lease property category.
"This real estate investment is accessible to a majority of high-net-worth investors for direct investment," Mr. Cram said. "They (net lease investments) are an ideal solution for long distance investors who desire a predictable, bond-like return."
Mr. Cram, who has underwritten, acquired or financed US$1.5 billion of real estate assets across all product types and U.S. domestic markets over his 25 years in commercial real estate, told the Singapore audience that as Asian investors and their wealth advisors look to invest in the U.S., "they should consider the U.S. Net Lease Market for capital preservation, appreciation, current income and liquidity."
Net lease properties are single tenant properties where the tenant's initial lease term is a minimum of 10 years and it pays all property-related expenses (taxes, insurance and maintenance).

text: Dubai: The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Thursday withdrew disciplinary charges against Sri Lankan batsman Kusal Perera and lifted the provisional suspension imposed on him for doping. "Perera is, therefore, now free to return to domestic and international cricket without restriction and with immediate effect," the ICC said in a statement. The ICC made the decision after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)-accredited laboratory in Qatar withdrew its original Adverse Analytical Finding following further investigations. ICC Chief Executive David Richardsons said: "We are seeking an urgent explanation from WADA and the laboratory in an attempt to understand what has transpired and what will be done to ensure it does not happen again. "No evidence that Perera has cheated through the use of performance enhancing substances. "We wish to make it clear that there is no evidence that Perera has ever used performance-enhancing substances and we wish him well in his future cricketing endeavours." In November 2015, the WADA-accredited laboratory in Qatar reported to the ICC that urine samples collected out-of-competition from Perera had tested positive for 19-Norandrostenedione, an anabolic steroid prohibited under WADA's prohibited list. Since then Perera was involved in a legal fight with the ICC on the suspension. The withdrawal is the result of a sustained challenge from Perera's legal team, which according to the ICC "in a recent letter" had "suggested for the first time that the Qatar laboratory might have misidentified impurities in the samples". As part of those efforts, the ICC sought further information from the Qatar laboratory and granted various extensions of time to the player's legal team to allow it to carry out additional analysis and investigation.

Corporate Fundraising
Corporate fundraising is a great way for companies to raise money for charitable donations, cause marketing programs, community resources, or in support of a partner non-profit organization. Corporate fundraising initiatives have been around for decades, but with increasing awareness about global warming, depletion of natural resources, and other global environmental and poverty issues, companies are becoming more conscious of the effects their business has on our global world. For this reason, many companies now invest in corporate fundraising initiatives and cause marketing programs in an effort to give-back and be more sustainable in their business practices.
Regardless of the purpose behind the corporate fundraiser, there are a number of considerations your team will need to review in order to make the most of your corporate fundraising campaign. Below are some basic guidelines that may help you in your planning efforts. You may want to refer to our fundraising tips for more detailed guidelines to help your organization maximize fundraising results.
Planning Your Corporate Fundraising Event
Launching a corporate fundraising campaign may feel a bit overwhelming at first. After all, organizing the right corporate fundraising initiative to support your cause takes proper planning, creativity, numerous resources and time management skills. Yet, with the right planning tools and teamwork, your office can raise a large amount of money for a very worthy cause.
One of the first principles associated with corporate fundraising is identifying how much money you intend to raise, and what budget and resources you have (or need) to accomplish your goals. Run your fundraiser like a small business. Create a written project plan that spells out goals and outlines roles and responsibilities. Assign motivated individuals into managing roles and equip them with the tools to do a great job.
Taking adequate time to prepare your corporate fundraising event is also critical. Select your fundraising program as early as possible so your organization has time to identify fundraising sources, recruit participants and volunteers, create promotional materials and inform media, etc. You may wan to consider implementing an fundraising software solution to help you manage the various details of your corporate fundraising initiative including: registering participants and volunteers, collecting online donations, managing budgets, monitoring event check-lists, and creating administrative and progress reports for staff.
Be Creative!
Corporate fundraisers happen throughout the year, so there is no reason why your organization can't create a truly unique fundraising experience for your employees and community. First and foremost, think about your organization's mission, and what you are trying to accomplish with your fundraiser, and then craft a theme that helps you communicate your cause.
Example: Say your organization launches a cause marketing program in support of wind-power. Your goal is to raise funds to off-set energy usage throughout your community with wind power. Rather than hosting a corporate walk-a-thon, why not host a "Wind-a-thon" and bring everyone together in a community park to fly kites and raise money in support of wind power. Perhaps you can hand out small wind-blowers with your corporate logo or balloons and have everyone release their balloons at once and watch as the "power of the wind" takes them away.
Unique ideas (such as this) will not only create a memorable fundraising event for staff, participants and event attendees, but may also help you attract the attention of local media and get you some free press! Check out creative fundraising event ideas for more information and ideas.
Motivating Your Team
Make sure that staff and participants know WHY the money is being raised, so they know they are contributing to a worthy cause. Motivate your team extrinsically with enthusiasm and incentives. For large fundraisers, provide prizes for top-performing participants or teams who raise the most. Create a fundraising website where participants and sponsors can share photos, quotes, and your organization can post a fundraising thermometer to track current progress against goals. Comparing goals to current progress are great motivators.
Make your fundraising event fun! Remember that participants and volunteers are giving up their free time to help. If you are planning a large fundraising event, provide meals and an exciting environment that people enjoy being a part of. If you don't have the budget for a large fundraising campaign, don't underestimate the value of smaller in-house corporate fundraising campaigns. One company created an interesting workplace fundraiser where employees were encouraged to bring in old gift certificates – either ones that were never used or had a small balance remaining. The company used a service to extract the additional dollars from these gift cards and donate these funds to a charitable cause. A corporate fundraising campaign like this may motivate employees intrinsically. They feel proud to work for a company contributing to charitable causes and striving to be more sustainable. And, they feel good about themselves for directly contributing to a worthy cause. If employees feel "good" about the company they work for, chances are, they may feel better about their work, which could help improve overall performance within your organization.

A Christmas chocolate bark is such a wonderful way to transform plain chocolate into a special treat to share. You can even arrange a few pieces in a cute packaging for a heart-warming holiday homemade gift.
Homemade holiday gifts are my favorite things to receive for Christmas. How can you not love personalized gifts that are made with all the love and care possible?
This Christmas chocolate bark is probably one of my most favorite edible homemade gifts to make. It's super quick to prepare and easy to customize to meet your taste and the ones of the people you love.
I love the delicious combination of smooth dark chocolate, crunchy chopped pistachio and sweet dried cranberry. They make this bark not only colorful and festive, but also the last two ingredients are naturally sweet, so you can skip any extra sugar. Don't worry if you miss an ingredient or two. Just use your favorite ingredients or whatever you have at hand, and most importantly have fun playing with the flavours.
[easy-tweet tweet="How to Make A Christmas Chocolate Bark – Easy and Fun Holiday Treat!" user="PetiteCook" hashtags="#recipeoftheday"]
All you need to make this gorgeous and healthy Christmas chocolate bark is 3 main basic ingredients: chocolate, nuts and fruits.
The recipe comes together in just as little as 10 mins, requiring very little effort from your side. Simply combine all the ingredients, and wait until your chocolate bark is set up. Then just break it up into pieces and enjoy these delicious bites of goodness.
For me, it's got to be dark chocolate, preferably the bitter-sweet 70% kind. You can play around with your favorite chocolate, may that be dark, milk or white. You can also use dairy-free alternatives or mix-and-match dark & white chocolate for an awesome marble-effect bark.
Nuts & Seeds
Add extra crunchiness with your favorite nuts. I've used almond and pistachios, but you can literally top your chocolate bark with any nuts and seeds you like. Whether yo use them chopped or sprinkled over whole, from roasted hazelnuts and pumpkin seeds to pecan or macadamia nuts, the sky is the limit.
No festive bark is complete with some delicious dried fruits. For a traditional holiday treat opt for cranberries, but chopped dried apricots are deadly yummy too. To make things a little exotic try dried chopped mango, it's simply divine.
Extra Toppings
Sea salt works brilliantly with dark chocolate, enhancing the natural flavour of the chocolate. Some dried chilli flakes will give you a warm spicy kick, whilst a pinch of cinnamon is always welcome. Last but not least, a swirl of salted caramel is almost impossible to resist. Some creative holiday toppings include mini marshmallows, candy canes, mini pretzels etc.
Making this Christmas chocolate bark is so much fun especially if you have kids, I'm sure they'll have a great time making their own. Each bite is a roller-coaster of textures and flavors, and because you can swap in any fruit or nuts you like, every batch will taste completely different and absolutely yummy.
I hope you guys will give this colorful chocolate bark a try. If you do, please leave a comment below and let me know how you liked it! Even better, snap a picture, tag it #thepetitecook and share it on Instagram! I can't wait to see all your festive creations :).
- 300gr dark/milk/white chocolate chips ( I used Belgian 70% chocolate chips)
- 1 cup unsalted pistachio, roughly chopped
- 1 cup dried cranberries, chopped
- a handful of almond flakes (optional)
- sea salt flakes
- Place ⅔ of chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir the chocolate until melted, then take off the heat and stir in the remaining chocolate chips.
- Pour melted chocolate over a tray covered with parchment paper or cling film.
- Top with pistachio, almond and cranberries, and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Allow to set for 1-2 hours, then break into pieces and serve.

Burning Questions: Q&A with Lisa Howard, author of the Big Book of Healthy Cooking Oils
Carrie H
Many folks in the food world are well aware of the benefits of oils and fats; we don't shy away from them, we typically endorse their smart usage and don't ever, ever, buy margarine. Real, whole and unprocessed are more than buzzwords; they have some merit to them. Lisa Howard has just written a book called The Big Book of Healthy Cooking Oils: Recipes Using Coconut Oil and Other Unprocessed and Unrefined Oils and it's a clear call for better understanding of fats. The cookbook is organized by fat type (saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated) and then the oils in those categories, from coconut, ghee and lard to hazelnut, avocado and flaxseed oils.
We asked her five burning questions about healthy cooking oils, and on Wednesday we'll run a recipe from her new book. But before we get to that, she wants to impart this message. "People usually regard fats as an incredibly complex subject, but it really just comes down to common sense: humans have been consuming unrefined oils for thousands and thousands of years, but heavily processed oils (such as trans fats) have only been possible to make for the past 100 years, and heavily processed oils did not become a regular part of our food supply until the 1950s and 60s. Quite simply, we just haven't evolved to eat this stuff. Let's stick with tried-and-true unprocessed, fresh oils. They're flavorful, they're versatile, and they're a healthy part of our foodscape." And how!
What is a healthy cooking oil?
Any unrefined oil is healthy—the important part is knowing what kind of oil to use for medium to high heat, low to medium heat, or no heat. Fats that are mostly saturated (butter, ghee, coconut oil, palm oil) are great for higher heat cooking, while most fruit and nut oils—and animal fats like lard in bacon grease—are fantastic for using in cooking with medium or lower heat (those are monounsaturated fats). Walnut oil, flaxseed oil and other polyunsaturated oils (mostly seed oils) should never be heated. They are great to use as dressings, drizzles, and dips. By using the appropriate oil in its appropriate heat setting, the oil will retain all of its flavor and nutrition.
What is your healthy oil nirvana?
My fervent hope is that people will enjoy reading my cookbook and will learn all about how to choose, use, and enjoy unrefined oils!
What is your healthy fat nightmare?
I cringe every time I see people put extra-virgin olive oil next to the stove or on the windowsill. Heat and light damage oils. Please treat your oils with care and store them in a cool, dark cupboard away from heat sources or—better yet—in the refrigerator. Saturated fats are the sole exception, because they are far more stable. Ghee can be stored at room temperature for months with no problem, and it can handle the highest heat of all the fats: up to 500°F.
What is the most egregious, irritating myth you want to bust regarding fats and oils?
Unrefined fats don't make us fat! Heavily processed fats and sugar are the main problems in the American foodscape in terms of contributing to chronic disease and ballooning healthcare costs. (Not to mention lack of flavor.) Trans fat is a great example of a horrifically overprocessed fat, but other heavily refined fats such as vegetable oil and any olive oil that is not extra-virgin are also problematic. It's easy to tell if an oil is fresh or not: taste it and smell it. Unrefined oils taste and smell like the fruits, nuts, or seeds they were pressed from. I get very frustrated when TV chefs tell their audiences to use a "neutral" oil like canola. Those flavorless oils are heavily refined. Aside from the health implications, why would you NOT want flavor?
What is the most surprising use of a healthy oil that you've encountered while writing this book?
I had at least 16 kinds of oil in my pantry before I started writing this book, but I was surprised to discover that a whole line of squash seed oil is made by a company in New York: kabocha squash, delicata squash, butternut squash, you name it. They are all tender oils and should not be heated, but wow! They are amazingly flavorful and are incredible drizzled on everything from waffles to ice cream. And then there are the salad dressing possibilities...

You can hear the moans from every corner of the office; "I have so much work to do and boss has us going offsite for some useless team building thing today." The eyes roll, the sighs echo and the employees shuffle off with less than enthusiastic attitudes to whatever awaits them at the dreaded "off site."
As a manager it is always a difficult task to find something that will connect a group that has the personality of gregarious salespeople mixed with a withdrawn group of engineers. But the importance of building a team attitude within a business has been proven as a necessity for success. So what to do?
Enter Pizza. That's correct, PIZZA. At Regale we have discovered the ultimate team builder is Wood-Fired Pizza Making Competition!
It takes, creativity, ingenuity, planning and most of all, teamwork to rise to the challenge of cooking the ultimate pizza. And the bragging rights are coveted. Best of all, you get to eat your projects in an amazing outdoor setting complimented with some of the best wine in the area!
Teams are assembled and set at stations with a variety of proteins, produce, cheeses and sauces to construct what they believe to be the best pizza. A panel of judges will determine the winner and each member of the winning team receives a Pizza Gypsy T-Shirt.
The staff at Regale Winery and Vineyards admit this is one of the most popular team-building add-ons it has to its corporate event packages. "The participants really enjoy the challenge. When you couple that with the aromas, taste, unique setting and relaxed atmosphere, people really lighten up and have fun with it."
Well, everyone does love pizza. And, with Regale's flair for making an event special, it's no wonder that pizza can be a company's best friend!

Tutoring business how to be able to set it up to invoice, track time, and send statements for clients.
Tutoring business starts by "selling" a package of tutoring hours to a client. They'll usually pay as they go along. Create monthly statements so customers can see how much they still owe, how many hours they have left in their package, etc. Sell a tutoring package with payment up front, pay as you go, and track time and statements to send them.
Best way to record and monitor Tutoring hours is thru sales order
Create Item- Type Service – Tutoring Hours
Create sales order for the Total Tutoring hours intially contact for
Receive Payment thru Customer Payment as no invoice is listed these payments will appear as Negative in AR.
When tutoring is done for some hours then create invoice from sales order.
Create invoice
Quickbooks will give message to choice from, select "create invoice from one or more sales order(s)".
Then select the respective sales order
Quickbooks will give message to choice from select "create invoice for selected items".
In the next window in "To invoice" enter the hours you have completed Tutoring. Caution – By default it will have all balance hours so please correct the hours otherwise it will create invoice for the entire balance hours.
This will create invoice for the hours you have completed Tutoring and also reduce Backorder quantity.(which are balance hours out of total tutoring hours). At the same time it will also reduce negative AR.
This report will show all the clients but for sending report to one client you can filter the report
Customized report-> Filter-> Name ——(Then type or select the name of the client)
You export this in excel and send to client.

It can be hard to define just why the sea has such a powerful effect on us but it can certainly be a life-long love affair.
A pair of Australian paramedics were transporting a patient to the palliative care unit of a local hospital when she mentioned she just wished to see the beach again.
The paramedics decided to take a quick detour to the hospital via the beach, where the woman was propped up in the stretcher so she could see the ocean stretching out from Hervey Bay in Queensland.
In the facebook post the Queensland Ambulance Service wrote about the detour taken by the crew: 'Above and beyond, the crew took a small diversion to the awesome beach at Hervey Bay to give the patient this opportunity – tears were shed and the patient felt very happy. Sometimes it is not the drugs/training/skills – sometimes all you need is empathy to make a difference!'
Little acts of kindness can really mean the whole world.

Romans 1: 21-22: America's 'Scientifically Enlightened' Lost Souls
According to Church Father Origen, the author of the Shepherd of Hermas (an early record of visions and revelations) is the same Hermas mentioned in Romans 16:14 who lived in Rome during the lifetime of Clement I. In Chapter II of his second vision, Hermas is told that "...happy are they who endure the great tribulation that is coming on, and happy they who shall not deny their own life:"
"For the Lord hath sworn by His Son, that those who denied their Lord have abandoned their life in despair, for even now these are to deny Him in the days that are coming. To those who denied in earlier times, God became gracious, on account of His exceeding tender mercy." (Second Vision, Chapter II)
From the Renaissance to our own day Westerners have been rebelling against their Lord---the Divine Source of their own lives-- in a vain and utterly suicidal rebellion that is as yet coming to fullness during this time of increasing tribulation.
The nature of the rebellion is the antithesis of the true Christian faith. Whereas Christian faith is joy, patience, love, truth, humbleness, peace, perseverance, submission in all things to the Will of God, and blessed eternal life, the rebellion is full of stubborn pride, skepticism, lies, sophistry, death wishing, dark thoughts of murder and suicide, revulsion, burning envy, covetousness, impatience, seething hatred, jealousy, negation, blasphemy, ghastly nightmarish visions and hellish apocalyptic scenarios depicting collapsing cities amid fire and brimstone and monstrous blood-thirsty aliens, walking dead people, zombies, vampires and other hellish beings signifying eternity in Hell:
"Thus heaven I've forfeited; I know it full well; My soul, once true to God; Is chosen for hell." (Karl Marx in Marx & Satan, Richard Wurmbrand, p. 22)
When Marx, in his rebellion against his Lord, found himself compelled to reject the living, personal Divine Source of his own life because of his utterly foolish desire to establish that "man owes his existence (only) to man" he willfully and stupidly chose an eternity in hell rather than eternal life. (Political Apocalypse: A Study of Dostoevsky's Grand Inquisitor, Ellis Sandoz, pp. 113-114)
Romans 1:21-22 tells us how foolish rebels against God ended up in this vain and utterly despairing predicament:
"...because, having known God they did not glorify Him as God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain in their reasonings, and their unintelligent heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools..."
Their reasoning, or cognitive thought and comprehension processes became vain and stupid because in deliberately turning away from the living God Who is the only source of life and mind, they have accepted a position that is intellectually foolish and unlivable with regard to the universe, the origin of conscious life, what man is and what his purpose is. The rebels are left with a position that can neither account for the origin of conscious life, meaning that they cannot account for their own "self" (spirit/soul) nor provide them with any meaning and purpose:
"For two hundred years we had sawed and sawed and sawed at the branch we were sitting on. And in the end, much more suddenly than anyone had foreseen, our efforts were rewarded, and down we came. But unfortunately there had been a little mistake: The thing at the bottom was not a bed of roses after all; it was a cesspool full of barbed wire...It appears that amputation of the soul isn't just a simple surgical job....The wound has a tendency to go septic." (George Orwell, Notes on the Way, 1940, from "The Book that Made Your World: How the Bible Created the Soul of Western Civilization, Vishal Mangalwadi, p. 3)
Professing themselves enlightened, scientific, cutting edge, and oh so smart, evolutionary materialists, whether secular or occult New Age pantheist, are fools.....miserable nihilists for whom there is neither source for "self" nor purpose for life.
Having questioned the existence of the psyche (self, soul) Cobain sought alleviation of his despair through secular psychotherapy. But psychotherapy failed Cobain and he finally found escape from his misery by blowing his brains out. Suicide is a logical 'virtue' for a nihilist who believes he has no "self" nor anything out there to give meaning and significance to anything here, including music.
As the essence of every human being is soul/spirit, when nihilists deny this reality, as they must, it becomes very difficult if not impossible for them to make sense of music because music, like morality, is a matter of the soul:
"Those who think that the universe is only material substance and the soul is an illusion find it hard to explain music," said Mangalwadi. "They have to assume that that music evolved from animals, but none of our alleged evolutionary cousins make music. (Some birds do 'sing,' but no one has proposed that we, or our music, evolved from them)." (ibid, p. 7)
Cobain's nihilist "music" appealed to America's burgeoning population of nihilists because as Mangalwadi points out, it was a full-throttled disharmony of rage,
"...anguish, hatred, despair, meaninglessness, and obscenity. His song titles included "I Hate Myself, I Want to Die" and "Rape Me." (ibid, p. 9)
Most of what Cobain sang is undecipherable, and many of his lyrics that can be deciphered are without meaning, and whether he knew it or not, said Mangalwadi, his lyrics were Zen koans,
"...counter-rational sayings such as 'what is the sound of one hand clapping?' Such words do not make sense because (in the absence of Revelation) reality itself makes no sense. Words are merely mantras---sounds without sense---to be chanted or shouted." (pp. 9-10)
For fifteen hundred years, Christendom and then later Protestant America, had followed St. Augustine (AD 354-430) in affirming that as all men are the spiritual image-bearers of the transcendent Triune God (Gen. 1:27) then it logically follows that each person is a trinity of being — of soul, spirit, and body,
"The essence of the human is not the body, but the soul. It is the soul alone that God made in his own image and the soul that he loves....For the sake of the soul...the Son of God came into the world...." (Incomplete Work on Matthew, Homily 25, Ancient Christian Devotional, Oden and Crosby, p. 153)
The Second Person of the Holy Trinity, the Word become Flesh, the Divine Source of life, Jesus Christ the Physician came to heal the spiritually sick. But whoever rejects the Physician rejects his own soul, hence destroys him or herself:
"..... I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing, therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life..." Deuteronomy 30:19-20
"The Lord hath sworn by His Son, that those who denied their Lord have abandoned their life in despair"....Cobain committed suicide because without our Lord there is only the despair of Nothingness---no 'self,' no purpose, and no meaning as the ultimate reality.
Throughout America and the West, the almost total takeover of our institutions by nihilists means that, over time, these institutions become cemeteries of the walking dead. Already, whole sections of America have become burned over dead zones of lost souls.
While it grieves us to see this growing population of lost, despairing souls, we must not see in their nihilistic despair our own eternity: "happy are they who shall not deny their own life." Nor should we be tempted into believing that we can reason with these spiritually dead, hardened souls as they hold truth in unrighteousness and cannot be reasoned with, and furthermore, will demand that we submit to their own willfully chosen fate.

Inspiring Interiors
There aren't many Vietnamese restaurants with pretty interiors so when I heard about Stateside in Seattle from @mell0fell0w, I was thrilled! I dig the palm wallpaper with the brass details mixed in with the wood. It's fun. My next bold move is to design a restaurant. It's something I've always wanted to do. From space design, to the branding, menu and even music. The whole experience!
So, I had ramen in the Marigny last night. It's a new a new spot that moved into an old Thai restaurant. But they left the interiors the same and it was not even cute to begin with. The place has lots of potential because it's in a beautiful corner building. So, the entire time, my heartmate and I just played "what would you do instead." I was thinking lots of earthiness, like wood tones to add some warmth to the space. I think I want white walls.. They had wainscotting which I would treat it navy. Sprinkling in some plants and ceramics. And yeah...I was pretty much tossing and turning last night because I couldn't stop thinking of all the fun ways to make this ramen joint better. So this weekend, I'm gonna come up with ideas and create some sort of presskit to send them. Wish me luck! Below are spaces I'm really into. Lots of wood. I don' think i'd put wood paneling in the restaurant but I love how earthy modern these spaces feel. Alrighty, have a wonderful weekend, my vintage vultures!

The existing building did not include dehumidification systems. As the project was reviewed, the entire interior was modified to eliminate a sagging lay-in ceiling system and inefficient HVAC system. The new interior features indirect lighting, acoustical/visual treatment, a new dehumidification system, and new window wall systems to diffuse the objectionable direct glare light that plagued the center.

One of my classes this semester is on 20th Century Literature, so I was doing some reading today around the subject of 'modernism'. During this reading I came across a brilliant word. It is not an English word. It is a German word. This word is... (but wait! I will now withhold revelation of this this word for a little while in order to create a feeling of suspense in you, my reader... cue the tense music!)
The thing about dictionaries of literary terms is that one definition tends to lead you onto about seventeen other related ones. For example, the definition of 'metaphor' directs you on to other terms such as 'figure of speech', 'idiomatic phrases', 'simile', 'catachresis' and so on. Today, the definition of 'modernism' led me on to the term 'alienation effect'. And it was here that I came across the word. It was in brackets, it was in italics, it read (...are you ready? *Pulls curtain to reveal the word):
Ha ha! How fantastic is that! I'm not going to hazard a shot at trying to pronounce it. I just liked how it looks and was staggered by how many consonants are crammed inside its eighteen letters.
(p.s. if my somewhat unsubtle and rather ineffective suspense-manufacturing built up a sense of expectation in you that was disappointed by this word: sorry! I recognise extreme consonants are not exciting to everyone.)

Road Safety & Traffic management
Traffic volumes have risen rapidly in the UK over the last twenty years. This has put great strain on the road network. Fife Council carry out monitoring and make alterations to improve safety for all road users.
Engineering Schemes
Alterations to the road layout can make substantial improvements to road safety and traffic flows. The area teams design projects from major junction realignment to signing and lining alterations.
Road Traffic Regulation Orders (TRO's)
Fife Council have powers under the road traffic act to create Traffic Regulation Orders. These legal Orders are required for the implementation of restrictions including parking and speed limits. Promotion of an Order requires consultation with police, Councillors and public. This can be a lengthy process due to the level of consultation required.
Traffic Calming
Vehicles being driven at excessive speed are often the cause and increase the severity of road crashes. Speeding also reduces the quality of life for residents and other road users. To maintain appropriate speeds, particularly in residential areas, traffic calming can be used. This can take the form of speed bumps, chicanes or electronic signing.
Crossing Facilities
To improve safety for all road users Fife Council has installed different types of crossing facilities including over bridges, subways, signalised and zebra crossings.

Most small fish and those that don't contain high levels of mercury are safe for the majority of the population to eat. Pregnant women, children and people with other health concerns should talk their doctors to ensure they are following established guidelines for safe eating. Properly handling and cooking of fish prevents foodborne illnesses.
As a general rule, smaller fish that don't eat large quantities of other fish are safe to eat. Local advisories about bacteria or other environmental issues sometimes impact the safety of any fish. Typically, it is safe for most people to eat tilapia, catfish, freshwater trout and whitefish. Safe canned fish varieties include salmon and light chunk tuna. Oysters, crabs and clams don't usually contain large amounts of mercury, but local advisories may restrict their consumption.
Pregnant women should monitor their fish intake carefully. Anchovies, herring, sardines and some varieties of mackerel are safe. Shrimp and pollock are also acceptable. Women should eat up to 12 ounces of seafood a week during their pregnancies and limit consumption of albacore and tuna steaks to less than 6 ounces a week.
Properly handling and cooking fish is essential to prevent the development of bacteria that lead to food poisoning. Fresh fish should not smell fishy, nor should it be discolored. Keep frozen fish frozen until it requires thawing in the refrigerator. Use fresh fish as soon as possible. Cook fish to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep hot seafood hot and cold seafood cold while serving, and refrigerate leftovers promptly.

Staging by Alain Patiès, Compagnie La Grande Fugue
Qaraqorum is a scenic project and our first collaboration with the company La Grande Fugue, centred around the works of composer François-Bernard Mâche. Mâche draws his inspiration from Franciscan monk Guillaume de Rubrouck's travels to Mongolia in 1255 and the monk's discovery of new peoples. Qaraqorum thus evokes questions of tolerance, secularism and the need to confront our prejudices with the notion of the Other.
