Pre detail inspection of the vehicle.
Plenty of road grime on the lower parts of the car.
Citrus pre wash and an application of snow foam to soften dirt.
Once the snow foam and citrus pre wash had done its job the Mini was thoroughly rinsed ready for the 2 bucket safe wash.
Once fully washed the bodywork, glass and wheels were treated to a Iron and Fallout Remover, Tar Remover and a Full Clay Bar Treatment.
Once the Mini had been fully decontaminated, it was time to inspect the car under lights ready for machine polishing.
Rupes polishing system with Meguiars polishes being the combination choice.
Some 50/50 shot of the polishing process.

Pranayama for Yoga Practitioners
For those who missed the last Level 2 workshop, I'm offering once again this two-part course in exploring the internal breath. Here we will cover the gross anatomy of respiration, pranayama preparatory techniques, and a few traditional breathing practices. Fee: P2,500.
This course is based mainly on what I've learned from pranayama master O.P. Tiwari, director of the Kaivalyadham Yoga Institute in India. Richard Freeman's guidance in pranayama has also been invaluable to me.
This workshop is suitable for those with a consistent yoga asana (or meditation) practice. Non-practitioners might find Level 1 (dates to come) more suitable.
Wednesday, August 9, 3:00pm to 4:45pm
If the above time slot is not convenient, I will teach the same class again on
Saturday, August 12, 9:00am to 10:45am
Wednesday, August 16, 3:00pm to 4:45pm
Alternatively, you can come on
Saturday, August 19, 9:00am to 10:45am
Those who have already taken this course might want to come in and do it again for a nominal "refresher" fee of P500 / session.
Liana Romulo has immersed herself in pranayama study and practice for nearly 12 years, and has received teaching certification (in addition to more than 800 hours' training) from O.P. Tiwari at Kaivalyadham Yoga Institute. She is grateful to Richard Freeman, with whom she studies Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, for additional teachings on the subtleties of pranayama, and to Paul Dallaghan for his continued guidance.

Autumn Light
"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."
― Albert Camus
In between seasons can always be tricky, finding that outfit which is not too hot or cold and you can layer up if you like. This maxi-dress from Kmart is my solution, and not just because it has beautiful polka dots which are my favourite...
I love autumn, apart from the fickle weather for shooting it's a beautiful season of colour and there's so many good spots. Of course along with a coloured backdrop is the perfect opportunity for a minimal black and white look. This polka-dot dress from Kmart was a bit of love at first sight for me, I have always been drawn to this print and the v-neck maxi style works well for hourglass figures and flatters a larger bust.
It has a wrap around tie at the waist which finishes in a bow, and finishes around the mid calves. It has sleeves which is a big plus for me! The fabric is also nice too, not too heavy or light. The gathers from the waist can be a bit bunchy, so it really needs minimal accessories and in terms of layering, a white cardigan would work well, to keep the front visible.
In terms of accessories I wore my Pusheen collection that I have started acquring recently! You can order them online at Pusheen.com and I bought the ring set, and necklace. I'm also wearing heart earrings from Lovisa.
In terms of shoes this dress really needs more height, so these lace-up heel boots from Kmart were a great match. I added white lace socks with them for that cute factor, these were from Rubi shoes. Farmers also has a great sock selection if you're wanting more variety too!
Hair bows are still a favourite detail of mine, even though at the moment they're not super popular. I feel like classy hair bows are a nicer touch for day wear.
The Pusheen rings come in a collection set of four, one silver, rose, gold and a dark silver. My favourite is the silver one! The brooch is from Erstwilder, a gift from my lovely blogger friend Miss Hero Holliday. It's a little black and white fox, and it's super cute! My makeup for this look was done with Phoenix Cosmetics products, and to see how I popped it together head on over to my Instagram to watch me get ready.

- If you filed a permanent resident petition in the past (yes, some couples did it despite they not being eligible -- and what a smart move it was), and were officially DENIED, you will be automatically approved now. So, the matter did not really end there, and it is good news that USCIS now keeps copies of immigration petitions forever. If your address has changed or any other detail has changed, make sure that you let your attorney know or if you self filed, contact USCIS to update that information.
- If you filed a green card application and it is still pending, let the process move forward. You are now in the same line as any other couple and when you turn comes, and if you are eligible, you will be approved.
- If you never filed, well, as I said, get married (in case you are not yet), and go do the paperwork. It really couldn't be simple and if yours is a straightforward case (your spouse was never out of status and has no criminal history), you can even file it yourself.

"While I'm not privy to what happens in Jessica's coaching conversations with my employees, I definitely see the results. She's helped one of my top performers move beyond simply technical skill development to target personal growth areas in a way that's had a huge impact on her success, confidence and - I believe - happiness. While I'd love to be able to do this personally for each of my employees, sometimes as a manager I'm spread too thin - or am too close to the situation - to coach without bias. I love that Jessica has been able to hop in and help partner with me in the development of my people!"

JPMorgan Chase, which was yesterday named as a takeover suitor for Worldpay Group, has ruled itself out of the bidding for the £8.2bn FTSE 100-listed UK payments processing firm.
The US bank said in a statement today that it had been "at a very early stage" in weighing an offer in response to an invitation from Worldpay, but that "following preliminary considerations" it had decided not to make a bid.
The US bank's statement came less than an hour after Worldpay said in its own statement that its board had reached an "agreement in principle" to be taken over by US credit technology firm Vantiv. The potential cash-and-shares deal that would leave Worldpay shareholders with 41% of the combined group.
The statement said the two companies' boards saw "compelling strategic, commercial and financial rationale for combining [their] complementary businesses", and had identified substantial cost synergy opportunities.
Worldpay is being advised by Goldman Sachs, while Morgan Stanley is working with Vantiv.

Birthday beatdowns.
That's what they called them. In the Northglenn High School football locker room, some teammates would tackle a birthday boy. But it got out of hand last season, when a freshman was thrown hard to the floor by an upperclassman.
"As far as how serious or out-of-proportion it got, that was definitely the worst time," said Marcus Pando, who was a junior on the team last season.
The freshman ended up going to the administrators, and three players were suspended, Pando said. The freshman ended up transferring, although it's unclear whether this incident was the sole reason.
"When that happens, it's considered hazing," said Pando's teammate, Eddie Franco. "(As a team captain), it was my responsibility to let my team know it's not OK to do that anymore."
Bullying and hazing have forever been part of sports culture, but these issues have come to the forefront, with news that a Miami Dolphins player, lineman Jonathan Martin, quit the team because he had been mercilessly bullied by teammate Richie Incognito.
In a workplace or classroom setting, bullying is not allowed. In the sports world, however, there is a blurred line about what's considered initiating, or "toughening" a teammate, and what's just plain mean and wrong.
But, with an increased focus on the issue by area schools, as well as the Colorado High School Athletic Association, in addition to the headlines generated by the Dolphins debacle, perhaps bullying will lessen in locker rooms across the Front Range.
"Bullying goes from elementary school to adulthood, and it's scary," said Amy Ringo, a local mom whose fifth-grade son plays youth sports. "You don't always know how to handle it. And when your son comes to you and says he's getting picked on or bullied at school because he can't make baskets, or kids won't share the ball, it makes their self-esteem and confidence go down.
"There's this one kid who constantly goes after my son. He has it out for him. He's constantly tripping him or shooting the puck right at him. Four times he knocked him down, knocked the wind out of him. Now I understand that hockey is physical, but you can always tell when that certain kid is out there. My son has even said, 'Mom, I don't want to go to middle school because that kid goes there.' "
A complicated matter
The bullying issue can be complicated, as seen in Miami, where Martin seems to be getting as much criticism as Incognito. There is often a hierarchy within a team with the toughest and most-successful players at the top and the more-cerebral, quieter players at the bottom. It leads to a machismo culture that can be uncomfortable for those quieter players who just want to play — and not deal with the Richie Incognitos of the world.
On Wednesday, Broncos interim head coach Jack Del Rio addressed the Dolphins issue with his team. He preached to the players that it's important to speak up if there are any issues, and to reach out to any coach or teammate.
"If something is going on, let us help you," Del Rio said, explaining his message to his players. "We like to talk about being family, and we like to think we'd be helpful for a person struggling."
Martin didn't go to his coaches to discuss the bullying. Instead, he hit his breaking point and decided to quit football last week, giving up his dream in order to escape the wrath of his teammate. In the Broncos' locker room this week, some players said Martin should have fought back — he is, after all, a huge NFL offensive lineman — or at least tried to work things out.
"I don't think in this business you can be bullied," Broncos defensive tackle Terrance Knighton said. "It's hard for me to think of an issue that would keep you from leaving the team, unless it was something drastic."
What's fascinating about the Miami mess is the number of Dolphins players publicly standing up for Incognito, who has been dismissed from the team, and openly questioning Martin, who is seen nationally as a victim.
"(Martin) needs to stand up and be a man. I don't know why he's doing this," Dolphins offensive lineman Tyson Clabo was quoted as saying this week.
Time to talk it out
Del Rio's message to this team is similar to what high school administrators say. The best solution for a bullied player is to talk it out with a superior or a teammate.
In Boulder, University of Colorado linebacker Derrick Webb said occasionally a teammate will take out frustrations on another player in a scuffle, and in the football realm, some see it as a healthy way to work through an issue.
"There have been incidents where guys altogether stop guys from fighting — there have been also incidents where guys let each other go at it a little bit," Webb said. "But I've never seen a situation quite like the one happening in Miami."
Many area schools are proactive in teaching students about the perils of bullying and hazing. Northglenn, for instance, now shows a video to student-athletes, as do many other schools. And CHSAA recently launched a Positive Leadership Campaign to educate students about bullying. It was inspired by the Gill Foundation's "You Can Play" project that encourages students to welcome teammates regardless of sexual orientation.
"The philosophy expands beyond that," CHSAA commissioner Paul Angelico said. "That's a universal message, not just a gay and lesbian message. … Rather than give kids a list of dos and don'ts, you want them to understand that other kids are watching them. It's about teaching them to stand up for what's right. We believe most kids, given a chance to stand up, will do what's right."

Community Supported Agriculture
What is a CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, CSA is a unique partnership of mutual support and commitment between local farmers and community members. Members pay a fee to help cover initial farm costs and in turn receive a weekly share of harvest during the growing season. Through membership in our CSA you will also have the opportunity to come to know and understand life on the farm as well as support our efforts to grow healthy, nutritious food in a sustainable way.
The rewards of a CSA membership are numerous. Learning to eat seasonally, cooking and preserving new and interesting vegetables, celebrating the growing season through special membership events at the Orchard and coming to feel a sense of connection with your local farmers, Jimmy and Becky Morath, are all result of a lively participation in our CSA.
Membership can be as involved as you would like it to be depending on the experience you are looking for. CSA is not like shopping at the supermarket. Your weekly share will be comprised of fruits and vegetables that are in season, so you may have to wait for a peach or tomato until high summer months. But, you will learn to enjoy a variety of fresh produce from the geographical area in which you live. Doing so will allow you to come into a closer connection with the climate and nature of North Texas.
What do I get?
Fruit & Vegetable Share:
Includes a variety of all available fruit and vegetables harvested and packaged in a reusable container exchanged each week.
Share - (pick up every week): At least a $20 value of fresh fruits and vegetables currently available on the farm.
Added Benefits to CSA Members
Opportunity to share in the farming experience.
Attend a farm tour at the beginning of the season (April 27, 2019) to discover the excitement behind where and how your food is produced.
Receive recipes to create delicious and wholesome meals from your weekly shares.
Have priority status in receiving the current fruits and vegetables being harvested.
When and where do I pick up my share?
Once a week you will pick up your fruits and vegetables. Produce will vary depending on harvest and growing conditions.
Wichita Falls Farmer's Market
Morath Orchard || Charlie, Texas
Vernon Market (Saturday Only)
Last year's winter market was a huge success. We have already began planting lots of delicious fall vegetables in preparation for the fall through spring season.
The CSA will begin on October 19, 2019 and run through April 18, 2020. You will be able to pick up your box on the first and third Saturday of the month at the Farmer's Market. It will be open from 10am to 1pm. Many of the Saturday vendors will also be there.
The CSA will be 13 weeks and cost $195.00. If you are interested in participating, please pay in full by Saturday, October 12, 2019.

"Open" return tickets, that is to say those with no fixed date of return, are usually very expensive. We therefore recommend that your purchase a "closed" return ticket with a flexible return date that you can change if need be. The fee charged for changing flight dates is generally lower than the additional cost of an open ticket.
Certain airlines as well as student travel agencies offer "student" tickets with special fares or conditions. Shop and compare! View the list of airlines that serve Montréal-Trudeau Airport.
Choosing your travel dates
|Date of arrival
|The activities will start on August 20th
|According to the date of your welcoming session. Consult the following page to find out when it will take place:http://www.hec.ca/en/current_student/getting_started/orientation_week/index.html
|Date of departure
|No sooner than the day after your last exam
|No sooner than the day after your last exam
You are required to attend the compulsory orientation days organized by the International Student Affairs office (ISA).
Once you've registered for your courses you can find your specific exam dates through HEC en ligne, under "My Class Schedule". HEC Montréal does not offer make-up exams, so if you miss a scheduled exam you will receive a grade of E (= 0).
Register online for the Accueil Plus service which will help you during your arrival in Canada. The friendly reception staff will be waiting for you at the airport to provide essential information, help through immigration procedures and other useful guidance
Do not miss this opportunity !
If you are coming to Montréal for a year or more, you're likely to have a lot of luggage. Airlines set limits on the number and weight of suitcases passengers can take with them. In economy class, the limit for international flights with major airlines is usually two suitcases in the hold, with a maximum of 23 kg each; for low-cost or charter airlines, the limit is usually one 20-kg suitcase.
When purchasing your ticket, ask the airline for the maximum number, volume and weight of luggage you can bring, as well as the cost of each additional kilogram, if overweight bags are allowed at all. In some cases, a higher-grade ticket can provide fewer restrictions and turn out to be a wise choice when compared to paying a luggage supplement. If you expect to bring along a large quantity of personal belongings, it might be less expensive to have your excess items shipped in a trunk by air freight or cargo ship.
TIP! Although it's important to see family regularly, keep in mind that you can use your breaks to discover Montréal and the province of Québec in greater depth.
If you return to spend time with family every time there's a holiday, you might end up leaving Montréal at the end of your studies without having enjoyed some of its greatest treasures!

Minnesota DNR to host listening session on Lake Michigan water diversion proposal →
Brainnerd Dispatch, February 8, 2016
e Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will host an open house and listening session about a Waukesha, Wisconsin, proposal to divert water from Lake Michigan. The proposed diversion would be done to address declining groundwater levels and water quality concerns.
The session will be held Thursday, March 3, at the Duluth Holiday Inn and Suites Downtown, located at 200 W. First St. Input gathered will help the state formulate its position on the proposed project.
The city of Waukesha is seeking an exception from the prohibition on diversions of Great Lakes water outside the water basin. Minnesota is a signatory to the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Compact, which governs Great Lakes water use among the eight Great Lakes states.
The city of Waukesha is asking to divert an annual average of 10.1 million gallons per day from Lake Michigan. Most of this water would be returned to the basin following treatment. Waukesha now relies on a well system, and is proposing to shift to water from Lake Michigan. The area's groundwater is high in naturally occurring radium.

How To Communicate With Women: Powerful Tools For Communication Between Men And Women
This is going to be a very powerful topic, which I feel has brought me so much clarity. For those of you who responded to my Facebook story, who were able to watch and hear some of what happened in my experience and for all those men who wrote to me and shared what was coming up for them, I had way more responses than I could have ever even imagined. Many beautiful men came out and shared their truth around why they feel as though some men react this way. They share everything from why they feel, what their challenges are, what challenges are as men in society as well as how they felt I responded and their response to how they felt I handled the situation. I've got a lot of amazing insight. One of the things that I am so incredibly grateful for is that this topic created this space for a lot of men to feel as though they could be safe in expressing their truth with me and expressing what has come up for them when they heard my story.
One of the challenges that I feel as though has been harder for me working with men is creating this safe space for men to truly be honest, be open, be humble and be vulnerable with why they feel as though these triggers come up. I want to recap what happened to me. I was walking down the street and a man had approached me, a friendly conversation, "How are you? Where you from?" He ended up asking me if I wanted to get tea. I'm a super open person and I love connecting with people. It doesn't matter what gender. I'm happy to get tea. As a woman, it's oftentimes that I'm going into a situation with a man where it's simply platonic or simply friendly and this man or many men end up having maybe some other intentions that they would love to have fed as well. There is nothing wrong with that. Let me start by saying that. We are all animalistic in our nature. We are attracted to the opposite sex. It's beautiful and it's divine. I'm grateful for that connection because it's beautiful. Both men and women, we have our hearts closed so often because we don't want to get hurt or we don't want to get misunderstood or we have been hurt in the past. It creates these walls and conditioning. It creates oftentimes a lack of authentic communication.
What ended up happening was I said, "Yes, sure. I'm happy to grab some tea." I gave him my number. When he reached out to me later and he was like, "Would you like to grab tea or dinner?" I said, "Yes, I'm very open to grabbing tea and even possibly dinner, but I want to be super open with you and let you know where I am. I'm available for a deeper connection. I'm available to get to know you, but what I'm not available for is anything romantically or sexually." In my sharing of this, his response was, it was like, "Thanks for being frank. I'm on business and if I ended up connecting with a woman romantically, I could get fired. I'm not that cheap. I'm not sure how an offer to go have tea or to have dinner turned into a sexual advance." For me, I consider myself to be genuinely a pretty good communicator. By no means was I accusing anyone of having any
Sexual Energy
Back to my story, he responded in that way and I personally felt maybe I did something wrong. I didn't feel that way, but maybe there was a better way I could communicate to the masculine. In my story I shared out, I said, "Here's what happened. Men, I want to know what you think." Here I am. This is a conversation for both men and women. My biggest work in the world is to help the masculine and the feminine inside of ourselves begin to come back together as one and therefore our relationships get better. We begin to understand one another because let's be honest. If we're in a relationship and we're communicating in this relationship or we'rein this romantic partnership, oftentimes you ask someone what their biggest challenges is. They're going to say communication. We fight because we don't understand one another. My biggest work in the world is to help to bring unison back to the masculine and feminine.We have our hearts so closed so often because we don't want to get hurt. Click To Tweet
Here's what I want to share, which is some of what came up to me from all the men who answered. Thank you so much for all of you who chose to open up your hearts and your souls and be vulnerable. It was a beautiful space that was created for many men to be honest and open about what their challenges are, about being a man in this world, with a lot of the confusion and a lot of the abuse. People talked about the #MeToo Movement, which is something that I speak a lot on. Most people, most of the men said, "You did the right thing. By being open, vulnerable, honest and transparent in the very beginning helps men to better understand where you're at and it doesn't waste anybody's time. If a man gets defensive, that's on himself," which is truthfully how I felt. Men oftentimes when sexual abuse happens or when a man responds in a way, women take the blame. We feel like, "What did I do? It must have been my fault. I didn't want to upset them." Even in sexual assault cases, what I'm finding a lot of the women who are coming to me having had sexual trauma, they believe that it's their fault. This is one of the biggest challenges that underlie the repression of the feminine. It's like, "It's your fault." The story that underlines both masculine and feminine is not enough.
For most of the men who wrote to me, they said, "You did a great job." They began to talk about, "Here is how I could've maybe continued to relate to the masculine and hold the masculine." First, many men acknowledged and shared that the male ego is very fragile. They're so vulnerable because men are being asked to continuously put themselves out there and there's always a fear of being rejected. Any time that a man is rejected, it diminishes his sense of self. It creates this blockage and it's painful. Some of the words that men use were they have to continuously be vulnerable, but yet also in their vulnerability, they need to continue to hold strength because showing emotions, we're culturally conditioned that men shouldn't show their emotions. Therefore, it stops the flow of communication. What I think is powerful for all the men watching and for all the men who can relate to this is continuously having to put themselves out there and exposing themselves, it's very vulnerable. For a woman to say, "Thanks, I'm not interested." Let's be honest, male or female, if you get rejected, it's hard. It's not easy. It's not comfortable. Here's where the awakened person, the awakened being, begins to take responsibility. It's not about you. Don't ever make a situation about you. It's about the individual. It's about your own journey.
Don't Take Things Personally
If someone rejects you, rule number one of The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz, which you brought into this conversation. It's a great book that anybody should read if you have not yet read it, The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. One of the first agreements is don't take things personally. It'snot about you. This situation with me and this man and any man, it's like, "I know where I'm at. It's not that you're not smart enough, that you're not cute enough.I'm just not there." It's incredibly powerful for me to know where I am and for any individual to know where they are so that they can truly begin to stand in their truth. That way these lines, blurry lines and games don't get played. For any person who feels as though rejection is the reason why the male ego is soft and vulnerable, don't take it personally. If that woman is not interested in any way, shape or form, trust in the ultimate divine universe that there's a better someone out there for you. For both men and women, be thankful that you're getting this awareness before you go down a road and realize that it was never supposed to be the relationship for you anyways.
My question to everyone is what if we showed up more authentically? What if we chose to communicate our truth in whatever way that it needed to be communicated so that we could all understand one another? There were no blurry lines and games being played. We could all feel safer. We could feel safer in expressing our vulnerability. We could feel safer in allowing ourselves to be heard. We could feel safer in allowing ourselves to be open and to be connected to and coming from a place of love. This is something for both men and women. I invite you to think about how has your communication been. Here's something for the women. As a woman, I know that sometimes we cannot always be as clear. It comes from cultural conditioning as well.
For so long that for all of us, men and women, the feminine has been repressed because it's been like, "Don't show your emotions, don't show your feelings. You're being too much of a girl. Toughen up." We feel guilty or we feel bad if we're having feelings that are not good feelings because only people want to enjoy the good. If you have feelings that are lower vibrational, then they're not supposed to be talked about or expressed. For the woman, the person who is embodied in a woman's body, it's more acceptable. For everyone and for men, it's definitely pushed down, which is where one of our biggest struggles between masculine and feminine, male and female, comes. It's because we're repressing an aspect of ourselves that is so incredibly important for our ability to accept all parts of ourselves. My question to you, are you being 100% authentic with how you feel? Oftentimes, many clients come to me and they're like, "I'm not even sure exactly how I feel," or "I'm not even exactly sure of what I want." It's important to spend time with yourself and create space to tap into your feelings and what you want. As women, and this is what I get from a lot of men, women aren't clear. For instance, you're fighting with your partner. The woman is like, "I'm okay." The man is like, "Are you sure you're okay? Is everything okay?" She's like, "No, I'm fine. I'm fine." She's not fine.Don't ever make any situation about you; it's about the individual. Click To Tweet
This creates a confusion for men because it's like, "If you're going to tell me you're not fine or you're fine, then I'm going to believe you. If you're not fine and you're telling me you'refine and you're wanting me to like dive deeper and be like, 'Honey, are you sure? It doesn't feel like you're fine.' That's playing a game." That's confusing because men and women are biologically different. We need different things. We have different ways of communicating. I've talked a lot about masculine and feminine energies. Masculine is direct, structured, focused, driven and penetrative. As women, if we want to better connect with our men or to the masculine energy, being clear, open and communicative if something is wrong, tell a man that something is wrong. His natural instinct is to fix it. If we as women want the thing to be fixed, which oftentimes we do, let's be honest and open like, "This is how I'm feeling and this is what I would like you to help me so that I can overcome this." Let's be more communicative and authentic. This is what came up a lot for me and hearing these responses. I want to go back to the men. Some of the other responses that I got from men on this topic was the need to perform and the need to achieve has been so culturally ingrained in our society that this sometimes creates a conflict for men because it's like this desire to conquest or, "I need to perform. I need to achieve." This can sometimes be why when a man is rejected, it can be very hurtful for the male ego.
The male ego can be fragile. We're taught to be stoic. It's not okay to discuss and talk about feelings. This creates a challenge when communicating with perceived rejection. I want to go back to the fact that this is perceived rejection. It is incredibly important for every single person, male or female, to take responsibility in the way that you feel. This goes for men, women and anywhere in between. It's realizing that your self-worth is not dependent upon how much money you make, upon if the other person is interested and you or not, upon anything external. When you are not as connected to yourself and you are projecting, which is what we're taught to do in our society, so there is no blame, no fault, let's have compassion for ourselves and the cultural conditioning that has happened. When you are putting all of your energy into things outside to confirm and reaffirm your own sense of self-worth that is a dangerous role. No one will ever be able to fulfill you as much as you can fulfill yourself. We all could truly benefit by taking more responsibility for how we feel, how we show up in the world and how we show up for one another.
This is why I believe some of the most important work that anyone could ever be done. It's not what you do in your job that matters most, but rather how you show up for yourself because if your sense of self-worth is strong, then it doesn't matter what happens around you. You are connected to the inner strength that resides within you. This is truly what the modern warrior archetype, which I keep talking about for both men and women, is all about. It's about connecting to yourself, finding your center and feeling the power that lies within. Another thing that men had shared with me was men have a hard time understanding the types of roles they can play with women. For so often in our society, we have been conditioned that connection between male and female is oftentimes in a romantic connection. There are a variety of different ways. Let's talk about religion for a second. Religion has repressed sex and has created a lot of binds around how we can interact with one another. If this is resonating, I would love it if you share this out, share this out to your friends, share this out to the community because this is going to help us all. Helping to connect the masculine and feminine and our own connection to ourselves will all help us better understand one another and cultivate the true deep connection that we all desire. I truly do appreciate your shares if you can share it out.
Coming back to this idea of the roles that men and women are able to play in relating to one another for so long has been repressed by our society, especially by religion. I see a lot of living in India. There have been a lot of repressions around sex here. I was at a Tantra festival a couple of weeks ago and you could clearly see the difference between the ways that the westerners were able to react and connect with one another in a sexual manner. It felt a lot safer than sometimes the way that the locals because they haven't even been allowed to even touch a woman or see a woman naked. This is important to understand that we as a collective can benefit by beginning to explore the ways that we can support one another and hold one another and share space with one another. That it doesn't have to be sexually between man and woman. There can even be a sexual interest on one side and the other person can hold this space for the person to feel and to dissect their own sexual interests and realize that it's not a two-way street and being okay with being uncomfortable in that space. Being uncomfortable in the space of, "Maybe I desire you and you don't desire me and that's okay." It's not necessarily a rejection. Take your ego out of it.
Creating Boundaries
There's something else that this relationship can cultivate. It's something beyond what my mind can perceive. It's something beyond what I've been culturally conditioned to understand as possible. Some of my greatest relationships have been with the opposite sex in a non-sexual way, which is why I believe that my work with the masculine, my work with men has come to me so strongly. It's because I've been able to hold a space that is not sexual. It's about creating sometimes a motherly vibe, sometimes a warrior vibe, sometimes whatever. This is important. As men and women, it's important to begin to take a step back and see, what are all the ways in which I can connect to the other person? What are a
Understanding the roles that we can have, creating clear boundaries. Let's be honest around how we can show up and create boundaries. This is super open and honest and vulnerable here. For some men, if approached in the right way and I feel that you are connected to yourself and I feel that you are authentic. If you do just want to sleep with me, try to get to know me first a little bit at least." If you're honest and open and you're like, "Amanda, I'm going to be open. I feel a sexual attraction here. I don't know if it's me, but it's definitely something that I'm open to exploring without an expectation." If you could be open and honest with me, there's a chance I might say yes, but if you think as though you're going to try to make a move without inviting me, without giving me the individual, the opportunity to check in with myself and say yes or no, all the sudden I feel like you're overpowering me and you're not as authentic.
This is something that came up tome in the cafe, a woman. I didn't even talk about this whole situation. She came up to me and shared the exact same story. She said, "I feel as though I can't talk to men. I can't be open with men because I feel as though they're not going to be able to receive me or they're not going to be able to hear it."This is super important. If you're open and honest and say, "Here's where I am and here's where I want to be. I have no attachments at all, but I want to be real," I would feel much more safe with you knowing your intentions." At that moment there are a couple things that could happen. Number one, I could say, "Thankyou for being open and transparent with me. Here's where I stand. I'm not looking for that right now. I don't feel that sexual connection right now," or "I'm not ready for that," or "To be honest, I don't think it's ever going to be there for me." This is so important for women and for men. I invite all of you to try these out. If we want to communicate better with one another if we want to have healthier relationships if we want to expand our ability to connect, to feel heard and to be vulnerable because we all want to be vulnerable. Men and women, I've heard it right here. We have to be honest and open with ourselves.Your self-worth is not dependent upon how much money you make or how much the other person is interested in you or not. Click To Tweet
There are these games that have been played and this manipulation, whether intentional or unintentional, to try to get what we want. We don't feel safe, especially as women. Consent is sexy. There is nothing harder than a man asking permission to kiss a woman, to touch a woman, to make love to a woman because men, what you do when you ask, you create a sense of safety. You put the woman back in her power and you give her permission to listen to her authentic, yes or no. I believe that if more men created space for women to listen to their own bodies without their own agenda of what they want, but rather created that opportunity to check in to realize that if we're going to have sex, it is a co-creation.I've talked to men and women. Men and women, both sides, who have had sex and not been in their full embodied yes end up feeling like crap afterward. No one wants that. Can you create space without your own agenda to allow the divine feminine to connect to her and come from a place of core instead of a place of erogenous excitement and create true relationships and make true love and make love that is sacred again?
Sexual Energy
This is some of the biggest work that I feel I'm being called to do on the planet. It's to help reconnect ourselves to the most sacred, most powerful act of love. Our sexual energy is some of the most powerful energy we have. Male or female or anywhere in between, we have not been taught how to connect to it. We learned from porn. We learned from our friends at young ages who don't know what they're doing. We learned how to relate in relationships to our parents. There is not enough communication and conversation
A couple of the last things, someone said, "Catering to the man's ego versus helping men understand the varying ways in which women and men can relate and connect." There are so many workshops I feel like I can do on this subject alone. It's important because men are always putting themselves out there. They're always needing to perform. They're always putting themselves out there. It's hard, ladies. Let's give the men some appreciation for always taking initiative. For no matter how much the storm is happening for men choosing the stand in their strength even when they're feeling depressed or vulnerable or they don't know what is going on and they're afraid, they continue to stand in their strength. Let's give them some appreciation for how much we have denied the feminine inside our masculine. Let's choose to honor how hard it must be to always put one step forward even when you don't know if you can take the next step. When it comes to catering to the male ego, as this person put, it's moreor less about recognizing the challenges that mendon't talk about. This is what happens in my men circles.
I feel so blessed for all of you men who have come to my men circles and have gathered online because this is what gives me an awareness of how men are feeling and an awareness to the weight that men carry that they don't talk about because it's not okay to talk about. The pressures, the need to perform. You guys embed this is huge. In life, they need to support. They need to be strong. We asked a lot of our men. Can we soften our hearts and see them as the divine masculine and the warriors that they are and how much they do for us? Show that love and appreciation while also helping to expand their awareness of what all is possible. That's what the divine feminine does is she's expansive. She's fluid. She helps to create a bigger picture for what's possible. Women, we need to be in our divine masculine in order to do that. We need to know who we are. We need to know what we stand for. We need to be clear because men need clarity in order to act. Otherwise, there's too much confusion.
I'm using men and women and please know that this is a spectrum. It's more or less like divine masculine and the divine feminine. I've gone on a lot of topics. Check out my podcast. I have a whole podcast on divine masculine and feminine and the energies and what they are. There's a lot of education that I feel can be done around here. This is just some of my notes. There's so much more. If you guys are resonating, write me, message me, ask me questions, I'm here to serve you. I'm here to serve humanity. I'm here to help do whatever I can to reconnect and help each other understand. I can't help you unless you help me understand you and where you're at. This is what's going to be coming up for me.I've been practicing Tantra for the past years. It's not sacred sex. It's so far beyond that. I am going to start bringing workshops for masculine and for feminine and for the connection for both of them. If you have questions and if you're struggling or this is hot for you and it's awakened a life for you, write me so I can have more content to work on, so I can provide you with tools that will help you.
Here's my last point, which is good. A man said, "Men have a lot of sexual energy and haven't been taught to channel that energy in the ways that serve their highest self." I believe that sexual energy is one of the most powerful energies we have. It is literally the energy that creates life. As
This is one of the ways that I hope to show up for you, for the women and for the men, is to help to create practices to where you can truly begin to embody your divine sexual energy. Sexual energy is creativity. It is the juice for all people. I help people find their soul's purpose in our passion and a lot of that has to do with the sexual energy, with helping to tap into your creative juices and your yeses and your nos. Helping men in this space begin to understand and cultivate and use their sexual energy for themselves instead of spilling it out and giving it away is going to not only help us as male and female and masculine and feminine, better relate to one another, but it's also going to help us all evolve to the next level of our being. Share this out on your Facebook walls, on your feeds. It's important that we all begin to help each other in this time of awakening because you were awakening. We are awakening. We're awakening to our divine potential. I'm dedicated to helping all of you in each and every single one of you who was on the path to continue on this path.
We all have so much to offer. We all have so many gifts to give one another. It's time that we start tapping into that and start releasing that and start connecting to that so that we can share and help everyone begin to elevate into the next level of their being. Thank you to all the men who wrote in.Thank you to all the women who are reading. Please write me, share thiscomment.
I'm sending you loves from India to Hawaii or wherever you are in the world. Joe said, "I like touching women's butts." If you ask then maybe and she says yes, then that's okay. If you don't, then that's not okay because there is something as boundaries. We all need to respect our boundaries, whether they're verbal boundaries of, "This is what I'm interested in as far as getting tea and not sex or romance or sexual boundaries." It's okay to want to touch into love. Bodies are beautiful, it's time that we stopped the guilt and stop the shame and start truly creating safe and sacred spaces where we can all begin to tap deeper into our highest and best selves. Thank you all. Thank you all who shared. Thank you all who wrote in. Thank you all for being on your path. Thank you for being a part of this community. Be sure to check out the podcast, Driven or Purpose, reconnecting mankind, where I share a lot of other topics on this type of stuff that's beyond this. Thank you all. Adios.

Our agents at Beck-Reit Commercial are always happy to look over our clients' current leases before they elect to "Extend" per their lease.
Often, lease extensions are negotiated with initial lease terms of 5-10 years before the extension comes into play. This can definitely work in the tenant's favor when they lock in super low rates. We often advise our tenant clients to lock in the longest lease they can to get the better negotiating power - both in terms, rental rate, TI Allowance etc.
When it is time to exercise an extension, a Tenant should review it, as there may be some negotiating room. For this client at Post Oak Center, we were able to negotiate a TI Allowance to "Freshen" up space and reduce Rental Rate a small amount.
Depending on the Landlord, negotiations can take 2-8 months. We suggest lease review 12 months prior to the end of the term. It is never too late though, we have worked with clients that negotiated lease extensions right up to the date that the lease was set to extend. The first step is communication with the landlord.
Here at Beck-Reit Commercial, we work towards a win-win situation during all negotiations.
POST OAK CENTER - Medical Office Lease
Advice to Tenants:
"Tenants should remember to always engage an experienced commercial agent then communicate with the landlord next in order to ensure a win-win situation for both the tenant and the landlord during times of negotiating lease extension. " - DeLea Becker
Advice to Landlords:
Look for tenants that will stay and pay. Getting the highest Base Rent Rate isn't the #1 goal, we suggest looking at the longevity of tenant and their current financials.

Step Ten - Have Fun!
Step Ten - Have Fun!
We honestly take life way too seriously. Laughter has been proven to cure so why not do more of it!
There are so many little things that you can do to have fun and laugh. Here are a few of my own suggestions:
This concludes the 10 Steps to Helping a friend on a healing journey. Bridget Shaw has done a wonderful job capturing really important points. Hope you have enjoyed her steps.
Recommended reading from Bridget Shaw:
A documentary has been made about Heather's journey to wellness:
The Healing of Heather Garden video by Filmmaker Judith Morrow is available at Lady of the Lake in Brandon, MB
The trailer can be seen on www.thehealingofHeatherGardner.com
Step Nine - Be Patient and Breathe
Have you every walked in the Redwood Forest? Most of the trees took over a thousand years to grow. That takes a little patience to get to their 25 feet in diameter and their outstanding 326 feet stories high.
Patience is necessary when taking a dis-eased body and turning it into a healthy body. The dis-ease did not come over night. It grew and manifested itself over time, maybe even in a previous life time.
Give yourself the time you need to "heal" your body. Be patient and do enjoy every breath.
Step Eight - Find Purpose
Step Eight - Find Purpose
At the Calder House, we help guests re-connect with themselves. They come here seeking answers. One recommendation we often give is explaining the power of "service"; finding a way to contribute to others.
The beauty of "Finding Purpose" and "Service" is it allows you to remove yourself from your own troubles and dis-ease. It gives you the opportunity to do something for someone else. It brings "light" to your heart and cures all that ails you. And the biggest bonus is seeing the gratitude in the receiver's eyes! Try it, you'll like it.
Bridget Shaw's tip is as follows:
Step Seven - Clean Out the House
Clean Out the House! Ever pay attention to how your body reacts to your environment? The Chinese understood the impact your environment has on your physical body and they did this through the teachings and principals of Feng Shui.
Bridget's Shaw tip speaks of clutter both in the material world and the relationship world. When we are surrounded by things or people who have a "negative" vibe, this energy depletes our own resources. You have to find a way to remove yourself from these situations in order to become healthier.
Have you ever notice how bloated you feel after you've eaten a meal with meat, dairy and processed foods? It always amazes me how often I feel sick after I've eaten these foods. Food is supposed to give us energy not weigh us down like an anchor. Here is what Bridget teaches us in Step Six about our PH levels in the body.
Step Six - Understanding How the PH of the Body Works
I'd be the first one to admit that I don't believe in taking drugs prescribed from the western medical society. Throughout the course of my life I have used natural supplements when dealing with dis-ease. However, I truly believe that through diet with foods selected from organic sources have a higher vibration and therefore supplement your physical needs much better.
It is very difficult to get into a routine of taking your supplements and teas & tinctures. When in a healing crisis it's always the little things that have the biggest impact on our health, so it's extremely important to follow through and take these. Here is Bridget Shaw's Step Four:
STEP FIVE- Encouraging Taking Supplements & Following the Diet
Step Four is about encouraging boosting the immune system. This can be done is so many countless ways. If you been diagnosed with a dis-ease your immune system is completely compromised and you need to give it an overhaul in order to get it back and working for you. I encourage you to do this with the guidance of a holistic healer, someone who has the knowledge of how the body works, but also knows how to read your body for signs as to prescribe the right healing course for you. As Bridget mentions below a naturalpathic doctor, iridologist , Ayurveda doctor, and Chinese medicine doctor all of these can help.
The immune system is strengthened by holistic treatments & practices like yoga, meditation, massage, IET (Intergrated Energy Therapy), BodyTalk, Reflexology, Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, Quantum Touch, Ayurvedic therapies, aromatherapy, and etc. There are so many wonderful modalities available for you. A great resource is the PrairieWellnessRetreat.com. Many practitioners, facilitators, retreats, retreat hosts, organic foods, products are listed there.
Here is Bridget Shaw's Step Four tip:
STEP FOUR - Encourage Boosting the Immune System
Step Three - HELP THEM CLEAN OUT THE FOOD CUPBOARDS
We have all heard the saying "You are what you eat". We certainly have been reminded of this past Thanks Giving Weekend! How many of you ate too much and felt like you could crawl into a corner and sleep the rest of the night.
For some of us our food choices are already wholesome, organic and we've already taken the steps to be mindful and conscientious of what goes into our bodies...but we all have that occasional chocolate, chips, crackers, sugar, coffee indulgence. If we "treat" ourselves to these foods once or twice a week, it probably won't kill us, but if we treat ourselves a couple times a day...the negative effects will take place over time.
We also need to be aware that what we absorb through the skin is just as important as what we put in our mouths. Our skin is the largest organ we have and you should NEVER put anything on it that you would not put in your mouth.
Here is what Bridget Shaw writes on her Step Three:
Step Two - Change the Negative to Positive in Everything They Do!
Have you every listen to the voice in your head that speaks to you? It's mind boggling how negative it can really be. Becoming aware of the negative voice and changing it takes practice, but all so doable.
Bridget Shaw also suggests in step two it's a good idea to have a Mantra. There are different types of Mantras and my good friend and business partner Marilyn Pierce shared with me one that Grail Springs in Bancroft, ON uses. It's a series of movements that open your chakras and lets in love as well as releases it.
It's absolutely stunning to witness it, but even more so to actually do it is life changing. It always amazes me that when I do this Mantra it humbles me and makes me cry every time...Amazing!
Step Two - Change the Negative to Positive in Everything They Do!
Gratitude for Earth Angels
I recently hurt my back by pretending I was a carpenter for the day. I was in the midst of removing 100 year old floor boards from our attic. The injury was caused by being bent at a 180 angle for several hours. You see I'm not 20 years old anymore. Not that I'm old, but when your muscles are not used to doing something, well you get the gist. My pain was very real and I could hardly walk.
I had no time to be out of commission, for I had a jammed packed 4 days. I was heading off to Brandon for a Bed and Breakfast of Manitoba conference, then the following day was setting up a display booth at the Mind, Body Spirit show in Winnipeg, and then off to Whitemouth to the Moon Gate Bed and Breakfast for a reflexology class. So you could imagine my panic, when the thought occurred to me that I might actually have to cancel all events.
Lucky for me the moment my back went out my carpenter who I was trying to assist is also a reflexologist and knows lots about acupuncture. So he got to work on me right away.
As you would have it, the second night of my injury my Reiki students were coming over for Reiki Share. This is an evening we get together and each take a turn in receive healing. We then share our experiences as the receiver and the healer. But this particular night was a special one, for I got to receive healing through my students. Simultaneously, all four of them used different methods of therapy from Raindrop therapy, to massage to Reiki. Those girls worked on me for 2 hours. It was truly an incredible feeling to have four sets of hands on you at one time. I literally felt like I was being massaged by an octopus.
The next day...I could stand up straight and walk with ease. 80% of the pain was gone.
The third day I was on my way to Souris, before my conference in Brandon. I wasn't out of the woods yet when it came to discomfort and pain. Circumstances surrounded me with more holistic healers at the Dolmage House Bed & Breakfast and Anna's Soul Spa. Once again I found myself on the massage table being worked on by 3 wonderful women. Next day....much better.
The fourth day I managed to get to Winnipeg and set up for the Mind, Body, Spirit show. Guess what? All the exhibitors are holistic healers. So I set myself up for a 20 minute treatment with Cecile offering Quantum Wave therapy. Cecile worked on my lower and upper back where all the pain was stored. By the end of the day, surrounded by a high energy vibrations, my pain was gone.
The fifth day once again, I 'm in the company of more holistic healers at my reflexology class at Moon Gate Bed and Breakfast. After a few practice reflexology treatments...my back pain...what back pain?
I took no drugs, I worked with my body, I acknowledge the messages it was giving me and I surrounded myself with holistic practitioners. Within 5 days the acute injury was healed.
It is amazing what our bodies are capable of!
It is with the deepest gratitude that I express a warm felt THANK YOU to all my "EARTH ANGELS". You know who you are (Carley, Michelle, Lise, Raylene, Marilyn, Jenny, Glenys, Cecile, Louise, Darlene and Michel). Thank you for allowing me to receive, thank you for bringing me the beautiful loving energy of Reiki, thank you for being a part of my HEALING journey!

【学术报告】5月15日: Zhaoxian Zhou报告会
1.题目:Human Activity Recognition and Sports Performance Evaluation
Abstract: Human activity recognition (HAR) has been one of the important fields of research in recent years. Activity recognition methods can be basically classified into three major types: radio-based, sensor-based; vision-based. Recently deep learning (DL) has been emerged as an approach for sensor-based human activity recognition but still lacks the significant increase in the accuracy for activity recognition than other machine learning approaches. The performance of DL methods depends largely on the feature extraction and classification techniques. Despite the vast development of HAR algorithms, the problem remains challenging for real time applications. Many applications require a multiple activity recognition system. For example, in automatic sports categorization, video streams alone are not efficient in recognizing athlete activities. Data from IMU sensors will help implementing faster and more accurate algorithms. Sensor-based algorithms should be incorporated with vision-based ones to improve the accuracy, efficient, and robustness. Another application is crowd control and public safety in large scale venues such as sports stadium and arenas. Multisource methods can accelerate the HAR process and thus provide more accurate and prompt decisions.
Zhaoxian Zhou, professor of the University of Southern Mississippi。
Zhaoxian Zhou received the B. Eng. from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1991; the M. Eng. from the National University of Singapore in 2000 and the PhD degree from the University of New Mexico in 2005. All degrees are in electrical engineering. From 1991 to 1997, he was an electrical engineer in China Research Institute of Radiowave Propagation. He joined the School of Computing at the University of Southern Mississippi in 2005. His current research interests include HAR, face recognition, and image processing; big data analytics, machine learning, computational sciences, and electrical engineering。

Vaginal Rejuvenation North London
What is Vaginal Rejuvenation?
CO2 laser vaginal rejuvenation is a recognised treatment of vaginal atrophy, vaginal laxity, dryness, improving incontinence and urinary leakage, improving mild prolapses, helps to restore the correct pH within the vagina by eliminating unhealthy bacteria and infections, improving dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse) and improvements in sex life.
Vaginal rejuvenation is particularly beneficial for women going through the menopause or peri-menopause as about 50% of women will suffer from one or more of the following:
- Dryness, burning sensations, and irritation in the genital area
- Poor vaginal lubrication, discomfort/pain with intercourse, impaired sexual function
- An urgent need to urinate, painful urination, or recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
What happens during Vaginal Rejuvenation?
All treatments are undertaken by qualified medical professionals (Doctor or Nurse) who have undertaken specific gynecology training. You will require an initial consultation prior to treatment being undertaken. During this we will take a full medical history and do an internal examination. A chaperone will be present if required. A test patch on the skin of the inner thigh will also be done to ensure the procedure is safe to proceed.
During treatment a small laser probe is inserted internally to treat the vaginal wall and a second hand piece then used is used to treat the external genitalia.
A course of 3 treatments at 4 weekly intervals is advised but further treatments can be done to improve symptoms further. Research has shown that improvements in vaginal health and patient satisfaction with the treatment can last 18 to 24 months.
What are the side-effects of Vaginal Rejuvenation?
There may be some discomfort and heat sensation during both the vaginal and vulva treatment. Often the internal application causes a vibration sensation rather than pain. Topical anaesthetic will be applied externally pre-treatment to reduce any discomfort.
Occasionally the treated area may become a little weepy, this is part of the normal healing process and will improve with time.
Cold compresses may be applied immediately after treatment and in the subsequent days if warmth, redness or swelling is of concern. Anti-inflammatory medication, such as ibuprofen, or anti-histamines may help this to settle quicker.
What can I expect after Vaginal Rejuvenation treatment?
Following treatment, small white dots may be visible on the external genitalia and some flaking may occur over the following days. It is important not to pick or scratch at these as this may lead to infection or scarring.
The area may feel warm and tight and there may be some redness and swelling
You may experience a watery vaginal discharge after the procedure which may last for several days, this is normal and nothing to be concerned about.
Very occasionally, there may be some bleeding or discharge post-treatment which will resolve within 48 hours.

Donald Trump doubled down on calling President Obama the founder of the Islamic State (ISIS) during an appearance on Hugh Hewitt's radio show on Thursday.
The New Yorker first made the claim during a campaign rally in Florida on Wednesday night. Speaking to more than 8,000 people, Trump declared: "ISIS is honoring President Obama. He's the founder of ISIS."
Trump on Obama: "ISIS is honoring President Obama. He's the founder of ISIS. He's the founder of ISIS. He founded ISIS."
— Nick Corasaniti (@NYTnickc) August 11, 2016
Hewitt questioned Trump on his wording and meaning, asking, "Last night, you said the President was the founder of ISIS. I know what you meant. You meant that he created the vacuum, he lost the peace."
"No, I meant he's the founder of ISIS. I do. He was the most valuable player. I give him the most valuable player award. I give her, too, by the way, Hillary Clinton," Trump said doubling down on his claim.
"He was the founder. His, the way he got out of Iraq was that that was the founding of ISIS, okay?" Trump defended. "Everyone's liking it. I think they're liking it. I give him the most valuable player award. And I give it to him, and I give it to, I gave the co-founder to Hillary."
Trump argued that Obama founded ISIS because he didn't do "things properly."

2017 Quarter 4 Change Checker "Scarcity Index" Released
Following the launch of the Change Checker "Scarcity Index" early last year, the final 2017 Quarter 4 Index has now been published.
50p Scarcity Index
It's of little surprise that Kew Gardens maintains its top spot as the UK's most sought after circulation coin with a perfect score of 100.
The mintage figures for the 2017 50p coins were released just before Christmas and have had an effect on the Scarcity Index scores. Interestingly, the Sir Isaac Newton 50p only scores a 3/100 which is lower than we anticipated. This is mainly due to the large number of Change Checkers who list having the coin in their collection. However, we are expecting this score to increase during the next quarter due to the low mintage figure, of just 1.8 million, driving demand.
Jemima Puddle-Duck remains the most scarce Beatrix Potter 50p, with Tom Kitten and Benjamin also scoring quite highly with a score of 13 and 7 respectively. Tom Kitten and Benjamin Bunny were only released into circulation in December so requests for swaps are high. Mintage figures for these coins are also relatively high so as more people find these coins in their change it is possible these scores will decrease slightly.
Interestingly, the mintage figure for the Jeremy Fisher 50p coin has been released, however the coin is not yet in circulation.
£2 Scarcity Index
There's not a lot of movement in our Quarter 4 £2 "Scarcity Index" update.
The Commonwealth Games Wales £2 coin takes top spot from the Commonwealth Games Northern Ireland. This is down to the very large number of swap requests for this coin in the last quarter. At 99/100 the Northern Ireland coin is still very scarce (as are the other two coins in the Commonwealth Games series) and it's very possible it will retake the number 1 spot next quarter.
We are still waiting for the Jane Austen and WWI Aviation £2 coins to be released into circulation, hence why they do not feature on our Index. We await the release of these and their mintage figures with great interest, could they be low like the Sir Isaac Newton 50p? It is possible.
How the Scarcity Index works
Generally collectors have had to rely upon mintage figures to identify the scarcest coins. But they only tell part of the story. Trying to find a good quality coin from 15 – 20 years ago, even for a higher mintage issue, is much more challenging than a more recent issue, as coins become damaged over time and are ultimately removed from circulation.
Additionally, some designs are more hoarded than others by people who might not normally collect coins – the recent poignant First World War £2 Coin series being an example. Finally, it can be up to a couple of years before the Royal Mint eventually confirms the actual mintage for an issue.
That's why we have combined the mintage information with two other key pieces of information.
- How many of each design are listed as "collected" by Change Checkers, indicating the relative ease of finding a particular coin.
- The number of times a design has been requested as a swap over the previous 3 months, showing the current level of collector demand.
Importantly, as new coins are released and popularity rises and falls across different designs the Scarcity Index will be updated quarterly allowing Change Checkers to track the relative performance of the UK's circulation coins.
How much are my coins worth?
The Scarcity Index does not necessarily equate to value but it is certainly an effective indicator. For example, the Kew Gardens 50p coin commands a premium of up to 160 times face value on eBay.
What about £1 Coins?
The £1 Scarcity Index has already been published for the Round £1 coins and, because they are no longer being issued, this is now set in stone.
A History of the 50p Coin
2019 marks 50 years since the very first 50p was first released into circulation.
To celebrate this anniversary we've taken a look back at the history of the 50p over the last 50 years…
If you're interested in coin collecting, our Change Checker web app is completely free to use and allows users to:
– Find and identify the coins in their pocket
– Collect and track the coins they have
– Swap their spare coins with other Change Checkers

Ultimate Guide: The Top 10 Rarest Coins in Circulation
Have I just found a rare coin? It's a question which collectors ask daily, and to help answer it, we've put together these charts showing the TOP 10 rarest coins for each of the four denominations on the Change Checker App.
How does your coin stack up against the others?
- £2 Coins – View in the Change Checker App
The Northern Ireland 2002 Commonwealth Games is the rarest £2 coin currently in circulation – in fact the four designs in the 2002 Commonwealth Games series can be found in the top ten chart. Others to look out for include both 2008 and 2012 Olympic Handover Two Pound Coin designs and the 2015 Royal Navy £2.
- £1 Coins – View in the Change Checker App
The rarest One Pound coin currently in circulation is the Edinburgh £1 – have you ever spotted one in your change? The Royal Arms is a common design which is sometimes ignored, but remember to look out for one with a 2008 date – that's actually the fourth rarest.
- Olympic 50p Coins – View in the Change Checker App
The Olympic Fifty Pence series is very popular with Change Checkers, but in terms of rarity, there really isn't much separating the top 10 designs. The Football 'Offside Rule' 50p was certainly one of the most talked about designs, and it also narrowly ranks as the scarcest.
- 50p Coins – View in the Change Checker App
As mentioned in our previous blog the rarest coin, of any denomination, is the Kew Gardens 50p. Its status as the most scarce coin has been well publicised, and as a result, many are hoarded by collectors. The chart below illustrates just how rare it is compared with other Fifty Pence designs.
Hopefully our charts will help you identify which coins you should be looking for in your loose change, and remember you can Find, Collect and Swap all your coins for FREE with the Change Checker App: www.changechecker.org/app

The Irish Refugee Council is concerned about the overriding purpose of the General Scheme of the International Bill published on 25th March 2015. In announcing publication of the Heads of the Bill, the Minister for Justice, Frances Fitzgerald, stated that the "single procedure" and other reforms will allow for earlier identification of people who need international protection and those who can be returned to their country of origin.
Early identification of refugees is clearly to be welcomed as it helps people displaced from their own country to begin to rebuild their lives in Ireland as soon as possible. But, in the view of the Irish Refugee Council, the "single procedure" envisaged in the Heads of the Bill is as much, if not more, concerned with speedy decisions leading to deportation as it is with early identification of refugees. The emphasis should be on a "single protection procedure" to ensure that people at risk of persecution or serious harm are granted permission to remain in Ireland. Only when that has been fully completed should there be any consideration of other reasons that could give rise to Ireland's obligations under other international conventions.
Sue Conlan, CEO of the IRC, said: "The Heads of the Bill confirm the longstanding proposal to abolish the independent Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner, seen as essential by all parties when the Refugee Act 1996 was debated and passed. Protection must be separated from the normal immigration responsibilities of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service where the overriding concern in relation to people who enter the state without proper documentation, as most refugees do, is to remove them from the state as soon as possible. The two responsibilities are in conflict with one another."
Conlan added: "This is an International Protection Bill and it should not be used as a means of enforcing immigration control. The lengthy delays in the current system are not simply the result of a lack of a single procedure but are also the result of a system that views asylum seekers in Ireland not as refugees but as economic migrants. In addition, the complete absence of any reference to 'Direct Provision' in the Bill is a lost opportunity given that this is the most significant reform of asylum law in Ireland since the Refugee Act 1996 and Direct Provision has been the source of both national and international criticism since its introduction 15 years ago".
Caroline Reid, 085 858 5510
Sue Conlan is available for interview
The IRC will be producing a series of documents which highlight aspects of the Heads of the Bill, such as its proposals on children and vulnerable adults.
The Heads of the International Protection Bill propose a system whereby applications for Refugee Status and Subsidiary Protection are considered at the outset with one appeal if both are refused. The proposal is also that 'any other reasons' for remaining in the Ireland will also be considered as part of a 'single procedure' and responsibility will rest with the applicant to identify those reasons even though they will not, for example, be familiar with the provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights. There will be no right of appeal against any refusal on human rights grounds
Refugee Status comes from the Refugee Convention 1951 and Subsidiary Protection comes from the Qualification Directive, part of the Common European Asylum System.
Subsidiary Protection (SP) has been part of EU asylum law since 2004 and in force since October 2006 in Ireland. Unlike other EU states, Ireland chose to only consider SP applications as part of a deportation process. This was changed in November 2013 when the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner (ORAC) was given responsibility for SP applications but ORAC has only been able to consider SP applications when the refugee claim has been finally determined, including in the higher courts.
The Irish Refugee Council outlined the need for a single protection procedure in a 2009 publication, 'A Change for Change'
The IRC report indicated that Ireland's record in granting protection fell below the EU average. Whilst that has improved, Ireland still has a higher refusal rate than many other EU countries.

"The Virtue of Not Playing It Cool" - Melissa Anelli
Interviewing J.K. Rowling in her home, working with 50,000 passionate fans and creating a successful business based on fandom – none of these things would have happened if Melissa Anelli had played it cool. She encourages the audience to question the value of "playing it cool" and to embrace their uncool moments, and use these moments to find their passion, joy and purpose.
Melissa Anelli is the CEO of Mischief Management and Co-Founder of BroadwayCon. She wrote "The New York Times" best-selling book, "Harry, A History: The true story of a boy wizard, his fans, and life inside the Harry Potter phenomenon," which featured a foreword from J.K. Rowling.
