Series: Pattison, Eliot. Inspector Shan Tao Yun.,
Edition: First edition
Description: 344 pages ; 25 cm
ISBN/ISSN: 9781250169686 (hardcover),
Language: English
Bones of the Earth is Edgar Award-winning author Eliot Pattison's much anticipated tenth and final installment in the internationally acclaimed Inspector Shan series. After Shan Tao Yun is forced to witness the execution of a Tibetan for corruption, he can't shake the suspicion that he has instead witnessed a murder arranged by conspiring officials. When he learns that a Tibetan monk has been accused by the same officials of using Buddhist magic to murder soldiers then is abruptly given a badge as special deputy to the county governor, Inspector Shan realizes he is being thrust into a ruthless power struggle. Knowing he has made too many enemies in the government, Shan desperately wants to avoid such a battle, but then discovers that among its casualties are a murdered American archaeology student and devout Tibetans who were only trying to protect an ancient shrine. Soon grasping that the underlying mysteries are rooted in both the Chinese and Tibetan worlds, Shan senses that he alone may be able to find the truth. The path he must take, with the enigmatic, vengeful father of the dead American at his side, is the most treacherous he has ever navigated. More will die before he is able to fully pierce the secrets of this clash between the angry gods of Tibet and Beijing. The costs to Shan and those close to him will be profoundly painful, and his world will be shaken to its core before he crafts his own uniquely Tibetan form of justiceRelated Searches:

Avron S. Spiro, PhD
Research Professor, Epidemiology
Dr. Avron (Ron) Spiro received his PhD in Human Development and Family Studies in 1982 from The Pennsylvania State University, specializing in adult development and aging and in developmental methodology. In 1986, he joined the VA Normative Aging Study (NAS), then at the Boston VA Outpatient Clinic, as a research psychologist and methodologist. In that position, he has studied the influences of health and disease on cognitive aging, and conducted longitudinal studies of personality, well-being, and mental health. He also works with the VA Dental Longitudinal Study (DLS), an ongoing study of dental health among NAS men. In 1998, the VA funded the Massachusetts Veterans Epidemiology Research and Information Center (MAVERIC), which incorporated the NAS/DLS, now located at VA Boston Healthcare System in Jamaica Plain. Since 1993, Dr. Spiro has collaborated with researchers at the VA HSR&D Center for Healthcare Organization and Implementation Research (CHOIR; formerly the Center for Health Quality, Outcomes, and Economic Research [CHQOER]). His work here focuses primarily on mental health, including PTSD and depression, and on patient-reported outcomes, including health-related quality of life. In 1987, Dr. Spiro was appointed Assistant Professor of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the Boston University School of Public Health, promoted to Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology in 2004, and to Research Professor in 2011. In 2011, Dr. Spiro was also appointed as Research Professor of Psychiatry at BU School of Medcine. Since 2001, he has been Associate Professor in the Department of Health Policy and Health Services Research at BU's Goldman School of Dental Medicine. In 2008, he received a Research Career Scientist award from the Clinical Science R&D Service of the Department of Veterans Affairs, and in 2013 was awarded a Senior Research Career Scientist award. Dr. Spiro has been funded by NIH and VA. Currently, he is PI of an NIH grant on Lifespan Outcomes of Military Service, and is co-investigator on several projects funded by NIH and VA studying health, personality, cognition and aging. His current work involves (a) examining the effects of health and disease on cognitive aging, (b) modeling longitudinal changes in personality in relation to health, (c) examining the long-term effects of military service on health and well-being in later life, and (d) studying mental disorders and their impact on health and functioning.

School Competition 2019
This year the school outreach program will begin in August and culminate in a performance on Saturday 28th September. Unlike in prior years, this year we will be working with primary school students.
On the 28th, the selected schools will come together for a competition, with awards for the best school, and best overall drummer and dancer. You are all welcome to the performance to judge for yourself!
School Outreach
As well as training local artists, the CAC runs a yearly project with eight secondary schools in the Makumira/Usa River area. Professional CAC artists run workshops with groups of 10 Form 1 students in the schools. After five sessions they meet for a highly entertaining inter-schools dance and drumming competition at the CAC that is attended by their peers and enjoyed by all. The best school, as well as the overall best drummer and dancer are awarded.
The CAC artists have also performed for many local schools in the area including Makumira Primary and Secondary School, Uraki Secondary, Kiwalaa Primary School St Constantine's International School and Nkoaranga Orphanage. Uraki Secondary School have an ongoing outreach project begun by Carol Stubbs, and continued by the CAC dancers and Music Students.
International School, Moshi, come to the CAC for their M3 Performing Arts Trip, when they camp on our grounds and learn to dance, drum, design costumes and the stage, and some sound-engineering.
The upcoming school competition will be funded by the Carol Stubbs Memorial Fund. To make a contribution and support this work, please find more information here.

Flitwick were swept aside by 101 runs at Southill Park in the Greene King Beds County League Premier Division on Sunday.
Lee Hoggett's unbeaten 66 carried Southill to 204 for six, with Shoaib Rashid (2-26) the tidiest bowler. The Otters were held up by a shower early in their innings, and struggled on the softened pitch, losing three quick wickets to George Darlow (3-21).
Flitwick II fared better in an exciting Division Three match at home to Bedford.
Rain stopped play in the seventh over, leaving Flitwick chasing an adjusted target of 136 in 29.
Phil Gurney (37) and James Coyne (45) dug in against their former club, and Flitwick got over the line with two balls and three wickets to spare.
Dominic Mawdsley had earlier clumped 62 as Bedford were pegged back to 179 all out, with Paul Thurstance claiming 4-24.
Flitwick's Andrew Kennard suffered a nasty eye injury in the field, but thankfully suffered no lasting damage.
In Division Six, a youthful Flitwick III managed 175-5 in response to Stevenage II's 238-1.
On Saturday Langleybury racked up 243-8 against Flitwick in the Saracens Herts League Championship.
George Thurstance (3-36) took three top-order wickets, while Ross Bailey mopped up for 4-44. The Otters were 27 for one in reply when rain washed out the game.
A miserly Flitwick II restricted Southgate Compton to 193 in Division 4A at the Hardy Vale, despite a century from opener Adil Raja.
Daniel Moss claimed 3-37 and Matt Pateman 3-22. But rain arrived during tea and prevented the home side from responding.
Met Police Bushey II were unable to raise a side, leaving Flitwick III top of Division 9A with the maximum 90 points from three fixtures.
A friendly was hastily arranged against Old Warden, but Flitwick were blown away for 110 and lost by six wickets. Richard Dutton began his opening spell with a phenomenal four wickets in four balls.

Sergej Timofejev was born in Riga, Latvia in 1970 in a family of Russian origin. He lives and works in Latvia, but writes in Russian and publishes his work in Russian and Latvian translation. He views himself as a Latvian poet but has close connections to the Russian contemporary poetry scene ("It`s like a cultural stereo with two channels in my head..."). Timofejev is the author of seven books of poetry (four published in Riga and three in St. Petersburg and Moscow). He has appeared at poetry festivals in Sweden, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Ukraine, Slovenia, Georgia, and Croatia. His poems have been translated into English, Italian, Swedish, German, Ukrainian and other languages. Timofejev was a pioneer of video poetry in the post-Soviet territory – his first work of video poetry in collaboration with filmmaker Victor Vilx was "Orchestra Rehearsal" (1994). At present, together with the Orbita collective, he continues to mix poetry with other art-forms and media in installations, pirate poetry radio stations, etc.

Iceland Diary
I entered Iceland somewhat blind. Aware of the grandeur of it's geography, yet underestimating it's capacity to take my breath away. Few things are able to humble us the way nature does. To take us back to a childlike sensibility of excitement, wonder, and give us the gentlest reminder of how small we really are in one fell swoop.
Serving up all the Khaleesi vibes in House Of Sunny Boxy Sweater at Reynisfjara Beach, in Vík.
Reynisfjara Beach, Vík & Jökulsárlón.
Where to Eat/Drink:
If you happen to travel the 5 some odd hours to Jökulsárlón rest assured knowing the Fosshotel is only a matter of minutes away once you venture back towards Reykjavik. Everything from the architecture down to the menus are modern and well thought out. The ambiance combined with the incredible meal we had makes me feel confident in saying that this was the best dining experience I had in my entire stay in Iceland.
A cozy little bakery that is not to be missed. If the scent of warm sugar and cinnamon buns baking isn't enough to sway you, pick up a vanilla bun and rest assured you've made a good call. I picked up an assortment of pastries the few times I stopped into Brauð for the long car rides we'd have to go sightseeing.
A few steps from Brauð you'll find the quaintest little coffee shop that actually roasts its beans on site. Of the two locations, the one closest to Brauð was my favorite. With its warm atmosphere and interesting vinyl selection, I was always tempted to linger just a little longer.
Honorable mentions: Burro, Pablo Discobar, Kaffi Vínyl, Bergsson Mathus
Seljavallalaug (Skogar, Iceland)
What to Do:
Possibly the oldest swimming pool in all of Iceland, the facilities have been in use since the early 20th century. This little-known gem can be found off the beaten path just before you reach Skógafoss. Wedged between a mountainside, the pool was originally created for locals as a place to learn how to swim. The now abandoned geothermal pool is looked after on a volunteer basis and is open to anyone up for the adventure of seeking it out.
Though this destination is quite a ways from Reykjavik, it was well worth the drive just to catch the most incredible sunset I've ever seen. As the sun sets, the once blue-hued icebergs start to turn the most incredible shades of purple. Be sure to keep an eye out for seals swimming around, or even hanging out on top of the icebergs, as they float in the lagoon.
Honorable mentions: Reynisfjara Beach, Skógafoss, Golfoss, Kex Hostel

Life Lessons from an almost 27 Year Old
I'll be celebrating my 27th birthday in two days and I'm amazed at how much I don't have it together. As an ambitious high school student I just knew that I would be married by 25 with kids. Yes, I put a s on the end because I wanted more than one. I say all that to drive home the fact that my life is nothing like I imagined. In honor of the 19th, I want to share a few invaluable lessons I've learned along the way.
Success doesn't equate to money
Sometimes people assume that I have money to blow which couldn't be further from the truth. I knew receiving my second degree would push me to another level financially. In actuality, I'm still underpaid and have $70,000 worth of loans under my belt. Your money or lack of doesn't define you as a success or failure. Your empathy, your desire, and your will to push forward is what makes you a real success.
You're worth waiting for
I've talked about relationships before but one in particular that sucked me dry. My significant other and I weren't compatible but yet our selfishness and my fear of being alone kept us together. Sometimes God doesn't give us what we want the moment our heart desires it. Sometimes He waits until we are ready and capable of protecting what He has entrusted us with. This means getting to know your star player and having a moment to re-evaluate your worth.
God doesn't blink
There are some significant moments in my life where I've wondered if God had taken His eye of me. As I've grown in my years and my faith, I've learned the valuable of seeing God in everything. Doing your best to discover His inner message can do amazing things for your mindset. Even in the midst of your worst days, God is carefully crafting away in your favor.
All friends aren't forever
An old myth makes us feel that anyone who enters our universe has earned a lifetime guarantee. I've had to come to terms with the undeniable fact that some people are only present for a season of your life. These people arrive to teach us valuable lessons and sometimes to model what friendships should not be like. You have to love yourself enough to know when to serve someone their walking papers.
Forgiving others is essential
I can't even begin to truly explain some of the feelings I have for people who were once in my life. In particular, I think of some of those who left me out to dry after my accident including my own cousin. Imagine walking around with a 100 pound bag for years even though you could have let it go at anytime. Walking around hating people wont do anything but make your walk through life difficult. Let that hurt go and free up that mental space for something more uplifting and valuable.
Bonus point
It is completely okay not to have it altogether. We all get caught up in the game of comparison and it eats away at our spirit. Our friends may have the families we desire, the money we deserve, the job we prayed for but don't be defeated. Some of us have to be a hot mess longer than others in order to appreciate what is coming our way. Live your life and enjoy this particular chapter you are in.

South Carolina
Poll: SC believes women reporting sexual harassment, backs new Supreme Court justice
Overwhelmingly positive responses to the #MeToo hashtag
South Carolinians are much more likely to believe women who report being sexually harassed, a new poll by Winthrop University finds.
At the same time, many also support the recent appointment of a new Supreme Court justice, accused of sexual assault, and their opinion has gone up of the state's senior senator, who pushed to get that associate justice on the court.
In all, 73 percent of respondents told the Winthrop Poll most women who report being harassed are telling the truth.
Majorities in the poll disagreed that women who report harassment "cause more problems than they solve" — 69 percent disagree — and that harassment in the workplace is no longer a problem — 87 percent disagree.
There is still concern about false reports of harassment however. A large majority — 79 percent — said innocent men have to "be extra careful these days" to avoid accusations of sexual harassment.
The issue was most recently in the news because of the controversial appointment of Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Nominated by President Donald Trump, Kavanaugh was confirmed to the nation's highest court last month after a woman came forward to accuse Kavanaugh of assaulting her at a high school party more than 30 years ago.
Half — 50 percent — of the South Carolinians surveyed told pollsters they support Kavanaugh's appointment. Thirty-nine percent said they disapprove of Kavanaugh's appointment. Nine percent said they were unsure, and one percent refused to answer.
Forty-seven percent said they had a favorable opinion of Kavanaugh, while 41 percent had an unfavorable opinion.
"When it comes to sexual harassment, Kavanaugh supporters are less likely to agree that most women who report harassment are telling the truth and more likely to agree that men must be extra careful to avoid false accusations," said Winthrop Poll director Scott Huffmon.
Lindsey Graham gets a Kavanaugh bump
U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham's forceful defense of Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing seems to have boosted his standing among S.C. voters, Republicans in particular.
While slightly more South Carolinians disapproved than approved of Graham when Winthrop last polled the state in April, the senator's approval rating has gone up to 49 percent from 45 percent, and the number of South Carolinians who disapprove of Graham has dropped to 41 percent from 46 percent.
Among self-identified Republicans, the Seneca Republican has seen his support skyrocket — to 72 percent from 51 percent — and his disapproval among GOP-leaning voters plummet — to 20 percent from 44 percent.
"Graham's new persona as tireless, and occasionally aggressive, cheerleader for the president and his agenda resonates well with the Republican base in South Carolina," Winthrop's Huffmon said. "His vigorous defense of Judge Kavanaugh and vocal support for President Trump has returned him to the good graces of his party."
Graham's Senate colleague Tim Scott, R-Charleston, got similarly high marks. More than half of those surveyed — 55 percent — approve of Scott's performance versus 25 percent who disapprove. Among Republicans, who rule the state, Scott's approval rating was even higher — 76 percent to only 8 percent who disapprove.
McMaster more popular as Election Day nears
The latest poll also contains some good news for S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster.
As Tuesday's Election Day approaches, the Republican governor from Columbia has the approval of 51 percent of S.C. residents, while only 29 percent disapprove of the job McMaster is doing. Eighteen percent were unsure.
McMaster's approval rating is up from April, when the Winthrop Poll found that just 46 percent of those surveyed approved of his performance.
The poll did not ask about McMaster's Democratic opponent on Nov. 6, state Rep. James Smith of Columbia. And pollsters stressed the Winthrop Poll was a survey of all S.C. residents, not likely voters, and so should not be used to project the results of next week's election.
The latest poll also found:
▪ Trump's approval rating in the state held steady; 44 percent approve of his job performance, down slightly from 46 percent in April. The president remains unpopular overall, with 49 percent of state residents disapproving. But Republicans remain strong supporters of the president, with 83 percent approving of his performance.
▪ Immigration is the most pressing issue facing the country ahead of Election Day, with 18 percent of respondents ranking it as their top issue, followed by racism — 9.3 percent — and politicians and government — 8.8 percent.
▪ In South Carolina, education is the top issue, picked by 16.3 percent of respondents. Roads, bridges and infrastructure are the top concern of 6 percent, followed by jobs and unemployment with 5.8 percent.
▪ Congress is pretty unpopular with South Carolinians. Sixty-nine percent disapprove of the job Congress is doing, while only 19 percent approve.
▪ The S.C. Legislature has the approval of 46 percent of those surveyed, while 35 percent disapprove of the job state lawmakers are doing. Sixteen percent were unsure.
Most believe in climate change, disagree on the cause
In the aftermath of Hurricanes Florence and Michael striking the state this fall, most South Carolinians accept that climate change is happening, according to the poll.
But they are split about the cause.
When offered a range of options, 28 percent said humans are the primary cause of climate change, while 20 percent said it was a natural process. Forty-eight percent assigned responsibility equally to humans and nature. Only 3 percent denied that climate change is happening at all.
"Many polls force respondents into a single all-or-nothing question on climate change," Winthrop's Huffmon said. "However, when presented with the ability to flatly deny climate change or acknowledge it but assign causal blame to either man or mother nature, we see fewer flatly denying that climate change is happening."
Winthrop surveyed 674 S.C. residents by both landline and cellphone between Oct. 20 and Oct. 28. The poll has a margin of error of 3.8 percent.

Valley Voices
Jerrold H. Jensen: Thanks, Uncle Ray, for your sacrifice
Obituaries for members of "America's Greatest Generation" often carry a phrase about their World War II service that conveys much about their lives.
Most Americans know something about D-Day or the Battle of the Bulge, but few have ever heard about the battle for Okinawa, even though nearly a quarter of a million civilians and military people died during the campaign.
The 70th anniversary of the start of that invasion is this month. My uncle, Ray Jensen, was there aboard one of the hundreds of supporting ships. And, by then, my future father-in-law Marine was already in the hospital, and he refused to talk about the war for the rest of his life.
The brutality of the battle for Okinawa set the stage for the decision to drop the atomic bomb on Japan. It was the last major island that needed to be captured as American forces had leapfrogged across the Pacific after Pearl Harbor. The GIs and Marines landing there knew it would be a struggle to the death of the last man. The Japanese code of Bushido demanded death before dishonor — surrender was never an option.
During the 1944 battle for the island of Saipan, Emperor Hirohito had gone so far as to send a message to the 25,000 civilians there suggesting they commit suicide rather than surrender to the Americans.
Old news films show American GIs watching in horror as mothers held their children's hands as they leaped to their deaths from ocean cliffs.
In 1945, more than 6,800 Marines died in just 36 days of fighting on the island of Iwo Jima — only 216 of the 22,000 Japanese defenders were captured alive. At Okinawa, tens of thousands of civilians and about 110,000 Japanese military personnel were killed. On the American side, nearly 14,000 Marines, soldiers, sailors, and pilots were killed and another 50,000 wounded in just 82 days of fighting.
Offshore, where my Uncle Ray was located, 36 U.S. Navy ships were sunk. By then, his ship had already supported the fighting on the island of New Guinea in 1943 and survived near misses by Japanese bombs at the island of Biak.
By 1944, he was at Leyte Gulf as the Americans began the invasion to retake the Philippines, and he saw the first Kamikaze attacks after the enemy fleet was virtually destroyed. Japan was clearly desperate by the time of the Okinawa invasion, as it offered bases allowing the U.S. to launch its final assault on their mainland just 400 miles away. Thousands of Japanese planes were loaded with bombs, and pilots attempted to achieve an honorable death with a suicide dive into an enemy ship.
On land at Okinawa, 200-man companies of soldiers and Marines would often emerge with just a dozen unwounded survivors after just a few days of combat. Afterward, President Harry Truman's generals told him a million Americans would be killed or wounded and millions of Japanese would die in a full-scale invasion of their country.
He made the awful decision to try to end the war by dropping the atomic bomb. Hundreds of thousands of baby boomers owe their subsequent conception to his choice to send their future fathers home alive.
Thankfully, Uncle Ray returned to Fresno to raise his family and manage a successful business — he is about to celebrate his 96th birthday. He now is retired in Spokane, Washington. My wife's first memory of her own father came three months after the war ended, when he was released from the Oakland Naval Hospital and hitchhiked home to Sandy, Utah.
She was just 3 years old but remembers being swept up in his arms — and that he was carrying the Thanksgiving turkey that was given to him by a farmer who provided his last ride.
The veterans of that awful war were members of the greatest generation who didn't wait for President John F. Kennedy to say 20 years later, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."
If you haven't asked your grandparents what they did during that war — do it now. We at least owe the survivors of Okinawa and elsewhere an oral history that can be passed down through the family generations to follow.

Russia accuses US of deploying missiles in Syria
Western special forces, supporting the US-backed Kurdish-Arab forces, deploy in Syria in 2016
Russia on Thursday accused the US-led coalition of deploying missiles against Syrian troops at a garrison in the east of the country, where rebels battling the Islamic State group are being trained.
In a statement, the defence ministry said the "United States has moved two HIMARS multiple rocket launchers from Jordan to the Al-Tanaf US special forces base."
That suggested that the equipment would be used for strikes against Syrian government forces, the statement added.
"Deploying any type of foreign weapons on Syrian territory... must be approved by the government of the sovereign country," it said.
"Forces of the US-led anti-IS coalition have repeatedly issued strikes on Syrian government forces fighting IS near the Jordanian border.
"It's not hard to guess that similar strikes will be continued against contingents of the Syrian army in the future using HIMARS," it said.
In Washington, a US Defense Department confirmed the deployment of the HIMARS system to the base, but did not say how many.
Russia has conducted a bombing campaign in Syria in support of President Bashar al-Assad since September 2015, and last week branded a coalition strike on pro-regime fighters an "act of aggression."
Last week the Pentagon credited Russia with helping to calm tensions in southern Syria after a US jet shot down a pro-regime combat drone that had fired at coalition forces.
In the first incident of its type, the pro-regime drone on fired what turned out to be a dud bomb at US-led coalition forces close to the coalition's At-Tanaf garrison near the Jordanian border.
Pentagon spokesman Navy Captain Jeff Davis said then that any escalation in hostilities between the coalition and the pro-regime forces had been avoided thanks mainly to Russia's influence.
The HIMARS system, mounted on a lorry, fires GPS-guided rockets with a range of 70 kilometres (43 miles).
Another version of the system fires small GPS-guided missiles with a range of 300 kilometres, but it is not know which type has been deployed.

Work this week has been absolutely crazy, so I haven't had time to discover what is going on in the world or politics, but I have made the time for a little project of mine: going paperless.
Paperless offices are a huge buzzword, these days, and mine is so far from it, I feel that we actually are responsible for at least 3 rain forests being hewn down in the last year. But I decided it was time for my home to be.
I hate mail. I hate filing bills. I really hate bills. And I don't care for most other paper things in my home…they just clutter things up. We've made the switch to E-Bills with our bank, and have started using Microsoft Money for keeping up with our finances. Now, before this, our "method" for tracking our finances was a notebook with scribbles and corrections all over it, a checkbook registry that rarely got updated with anything besides what cleared the bank that day in our online account, and my adamant avoidance of everything to do with figuring out a budget. Our bills got put into piles of varying degrees of organization, and eventually lost. At least one day per week, the wife and I would panic and try to remember what was due, frantically search for the bill, or find it online, and pay it (typically 1 day late).
Needless to say, organizing our life has turned out to be a monumental, but incredibly rewarding process. Most of our bills can be billed directly to our online bill payment account with our bank. Everything gets put into Microsoft Money, with pop-up warnings starting 5 days before a bill is due. Best of all (for me anyway), is that many of these, I can pay simply by clicking a button in Microsoft Money. We download our statements daily to reconcile them with our registry.
Our switch to paperless not only helps the environment, but actually makes our lives very much easier, and vastly more organized. It was quite a bit of work to get set up, in my opinion. However, once it's done, I find it to be well worth the time invested. MS Money basically asks for every piece of information about your entire life. And somewhere in the switch, our registry got out of sync with our bank account, and we can't find our lost money. But other than a few such hiccups, I'm calling Operation Paperless House a rousing success.
Note that Microsoft Money is not the only program that works such wonders (and we have not even begun to touch the surface of…Deluxe edition can help set up a budget, provide cash flow reports, help control spending, plan for the future, and invest!), I understand that Quicken is also quite good. We chose Money because the interface is prettier, and I like to look at pretty shiny things. It seems more user friendly to me as well, but this is based solely on casual and biased observation.
If your bank doesn't offer online bill pay, or online bill presentation, MyCheckFree.com offers a scaled down version of their Bank services for free. They don't seem to have a whole heck of a lot of bills available (Sadly, AT&T Wireless is missing), but Entergy and other utilities abound there. I have looked at it, and it also is pretty easy to use.
Green Idea #1
Work this week has been absolutely crazy, so I haven't had time to discover what is going on in the world or politics, but I have made the time for a little project of mine: going paperless.

Unlike other vitamins, find out why we need Vitamin C on a daily basis
Why do we need Vitamin C?
Vitamin C protects our cells and helps them stay healthy. Specifically, it plays a role in helping wounds heal, and aids the maintenance of healthy skin, blood vessels, bones and cartilage.
Where can we get Vitamin C from?
Vitamin C can be sourced from many items. Some of these include oranges, grapefruit, guava, kiwi, red and green peppers, strawberries, blackcurrants, kale, broccoli, and brussels sprouts.
How much Vitamin C do we need?
Adults between the ages of 19 and 65 need 40mg per day.
Vitamin C isn't stored in the body, so we need to consume some on a daily basis.
What happens if we consume too much Vitamin C?
Too much Vitamin C i.e. only if it's in excess of 1,000mg per day, can result in stomach pain, diarrhoea and flatulence.
What does the Department of Health have to say about Vitamin C?
"You should be able to get all the vitamin C you need by eating a varied and balanced diet. If you take vitamin C supplements, don't take too much as this could be harmful. Taking less than 1,000mg of vitamin C supplements a day is unlikely to cause any harm."

A novena (from Latin novem, meaning "nine") is an ancient tradition of devotional praying in Christianity, consisting of private or public prayers repeated for nine successive days. In Colombia, the church is accustomed to holding a novena from December 16 to 24 to celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus.
Families traditionally gather to read a passage or scripture, recite a written prayer and sing a Christmas carol. At your evening meal, or your morning breakfast, or simply before you tuck your children into bed, read the scripture passage, ask and answer the questions, and pray together during this Advent.

In his introduction to Hafidh Ibn Hajar's Al-Isabah fee Tamyeez-is-Sahaaba, Dr A.Sprenger has paid a glowing tribute to the scholars of the Traditions (hadith):
"The glory
of the literature of the Mohammedans is its literary biography. There is
no nation, nor has there been any which like them has during twelve
centuries recorded the life of every man of letters. If the biographical
records of the Musalmans were collected, we should probably have
accounts of the lives of half a million of distinguished persons. and it
would be found that there is not a decennium of their history, nor a
place of importance which has not its representatives."
Sprenger vol.1, pg.1.

Astana Inside cycling with Astana
An interview with Luis Leon Sanchez
The season has just begun, and the Spaniard has already scored a nice GC podium in his home race.
Talking cycling at a training camp with a person in love with this sport was as much pleasure as always.
Back to the roots – why cycling?
I started off pretty early, when I was five, with my brother. It was our father, a Guardia Civil officer back than, who brought us into the sport. He suffered a serious knee injury, and cycling was a great help in his rehabilitation. There was a small cycling school nearby. It was love at first sight. Then it went along like a natural evolution: step by step, year after year, I grew stronger, and the game became a job. I feel like one of the lucky few.
You've got an image of a diehard, a king of long escapes who never gives up. If things don't go your way one day, next day you are in the front again, hunting for glory. How do you handle so much workload?
When you see a clear-cut goal in front of you - say, to win a stage in a Grand Tour, you stay extraordinarily focused. I really appreciate it when my team gives me a chance to ride for myself, to hunt for a stage like it was in the Vuelta of 2016. I tried really hard, I was so close, but... At least, I gave it all, and when you know you didn't have anything left, you come to terms with it. To tell the truth, it's quite hard to ride in this manner, but I don't feel like whining.
This ability of riding several Grand Tours in a season on a high level, is it more physical or mental?
Well, you have to put in a couple of seasons of quality work first, to dwell on this foundation in this adventure. And then, yes, to ride day in day out for three weeks, you need to have a head for it. You are to tell yourself: I will be in a lot of pain, but that's the way it is, full stop. And there is yet another clue: if the team is really motivated and rides as a single whole, if you see that everybody suffers like you do, it makes your own suffering less painful.
You are a picture of a versatile rider, but there is certainly a type of race you like most. Which one?
Medium mountains. Somewhere in between those stages full of long climbs with 10-11% average gradient, which is too steep for us bigger guys, and the dead flat which I don't like at all.
But listen, everybody knows you as a born time trialist!..
Well fill it in, too. I was a Spanish ITT champion four times, and I didn't come by this easily, I place a high value on each of these titles. I won time trials in some stage races, too. Sure thing, I like racing against the clock.
You have a collection of great wins, but most certainly it doesn't mean there is nothing left for you as a dream race in cycling, does it?
In my junior years my biggest dream was to win a stage of the Tour de France. I won four of them, so I can say that the dream came true four times. Anyway, you have to aim higher all the time if you mean to carry on with your career. My biggest dream now is to win a stage in each of the Grand Tours. It's not so easy as you see, but I'll keep on trying.
Our audience loves being positively shocked by some impressive watts of the pros. Could you astonish them with something of this genre? Your best power for 20 minutes, or 5, or...
You know what, I'm not a big fan of all those figures. I mean, I see the point, I don't mind using power meters as long as they help the coach to assess the effectiveness of the program or my physical conditions at any given moment. But I don't feel like looking into it too closely, I know that "riding by watts" will block me psychologically, I just won't be able to ride the way I do.
Is it true that you tell the mechanics to keep the tyre pressure around 11 bar no matter what, and even when it rains you don't deflate the tubulars?
Yes, it's true! I like it when my bike feels as hard and sharp as a razor, I can't help it, even on a wet road, although I see pretty well the elevated risk of a crash. All of them, they try from time to time to talk me out of this, not only mechanics, but the physicians too, because it can create back problems. To no effect actually, most likely I'll remain like that.
You rode for different teams over the span of your long career, what sets the Astana apart?
I liked it here on the very first day, literally. The way they work, the atmosphere. You can stay calm and do your job. It applies to everyone: the riders, the staff, the management. Everybody knows what to do, stay focused and do their best – what else should I need?
What are your wishes to yourself and the team in this newly born season?
As years go by, the wishes don't vary too much. I want to ride strongly, starting from the early part of the season. I'll do my best to help the leaders make the maximum of their chances in the three-weeks tours; if an opportunity presents itself in the form of a stage win, and it won't go against the team strategy, I'll try to go for it. Normally there are chances for me in week-long races as well. I'd like to assure our fans, we have done our pre-seasonal homework very well, now all we need is their support and a bit of luck.
Then that is what we wish you and the guys: every bit of luck in all the races you'll ride.

This retreat is hosted by the region's most-experienced practitioner, Jackie Heffer-Cooke, who will teach you all you need to know in order to Hypnobirth your baby. The aim is to lead you to the calmest, most rewarding birth possible.
And where better to learn, than in sublime surroundings of The Grove Hotel?
What is Hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing is a set of tools and techniques which make birth a more pain-free and enjoyable experience. It is based on science, a philosophy and a mindset which means that your birth will be more simple, gentle, and calm, whichever path your birth journey takes. It is a pain relief technique whereby women use a blend of self-hypnosis, relaxation, breathing techniques, active birth, and preparation to allow them to overcome pain, and where birth partners offer an important supportive role, so that each couple can look forward to their birthing day with expectation and excitement. It is, quite simply, better birthing.
Where: The Grove, Cromer
When: 17th and 18th November 2018 or, 9th and 10th March 2019.
How much: £495 all-inclusive per couple which includes contact Hypnobirthing course, accommodation and dinner for one night, breakfast and two lunches.
Why: Learn how to have a calm, rewarding birth. Facilitate a confident birth under the instruction of lead Hypnobirthing practitioner Jackie Heffer-Cooke.
Day One
Arrival time is 9.30am on the first day for a tea/coffee reception. Hypnobirthing with Jackie will be 10am-4pm, with an hour lunch break. The rest of the evening is yours to do with what you like. Indulge in a massage, have a long bath, go for a walk or chat with the other couples on the course. Dinner will be served in the evening, which is the perfect opportunity for you and your partner to reflect on the day.
Day Two
Breakfast will be served on the second day and the Hypnobirthing with Jackie will continue at 11am- 5pm, again with an hour's lunch break. After this, the day closes- unless you decide to treat yourself to another night's stay of course!
The perfect overnight stay for mums and dads-to-be to get away from it all and really indulge in a calm and luxurious weekend to connect with each other, and prepare for your imminent adventure into parenthood.
Before and after, you can enjoy the hotel's: fine food; comfortable accommodation; indoor swimming pool and massage treatments. The Grove Hotel is situated 5 minutes' walk from a beautiful sandy and sparse beach, so you can explore the North Norfolk coastline, too.
"Jackie's birthing knowledge is invaluable. She led us towards giving our baby Freddie the best start possible, with the most beautiful calm, controlled birth. The weekend itself was blissful; award winning food, a swimming pool and right next to the beach. Perfect." - Sarah Tyler

Eugene Family YMCA Moves Forward in Campaign for New Y
The Y exercises second option of land purchase agreement with 4J School District
Eugene, Ore. - August 16, 2018 - The Eugene Family YMCA is moving one-step closer to a shovel in the ground for its new facility by exercising its second option of the land purchase agreement with Eugene School District 4J and making its first significant payment toward the property where the former Roosevelt Middle School building once stood.
The Y and 4J entered into a land purchase agreement in 2014, following a lengthy search by the Y for land with contiguous acreage and vital proximity to public transportation and schools. Now that the school board has voted unanimously to approve the Y's presentation of progress in the campaign, the Y will exercise its second option and will pay $712,500 to the district this week.
"We are so excited to convey to the school board and the Eugene community that this project is moving forward and that we have raised ample funds to make this first payment," said Y CEO Brian Steffen. "The Y continues in earnest to develop partnerships and donor relationships that will ensure continued impact in this community for generations to come."
In 2017, the Eugene Family YMCA served 14,700 individuals in the Lane County area ranging from south Eugene to the Ferry Street Bridge area, Cottage Grove and beyond. The Y provides health and wellness programming including vital chronic disease prevention and management classes and is the largest afterschool childcare provider in Lane County, with 17 afterschool programs throughout the 4J district.
"4J is pleased to collaborate with the Y to provide a great location for its programs and services," said 4J Superintendent Dr. Gustavo Balderas. "The district is committed to maximizing resources to serve the Eugene community, and partnering with an important non-profit organization like the Y goes hand in hand with our work to strengthen Eugene's youth."
The Eugene Family YMCA plans to build a 65,000 square foot facility to address the complexity of Eugene's growing population which includes serious health challenges like childhood and adult obesity and gaps in instruction time for youth after school and throughout the summer. Modernized programming space will allow the Y to continue its proactive approach to health and wellness, while building strong connections in the community. The current Y building on Patterson Street, across the street from South Eugene High School, was built in 1955 to serve a 1950's community that numbered fewer than 50,000 people. Since that time, the Y has continued to grow its reach in the community and averages 21,000 facility visits to its current location on Patterson Street each month.

"Outdo one another in showing honor." Romans 12:10
This may be the only competitive verse in the Bible. Paul is calling us to outdo one another. Unlike the competitive nature of the world, as in politics or the boardroom, Paul's charge is to outdo one another in building up, not tearing down. This is a call to recognize in another person that which is worthy of commendation, that is worthy of honor.
It is not flattery. The world loves flattery – I say something nice to you, about you, so that you will say something nice to me, about me. Flattery is self-serving. Honoring is Christ-focused.
To honor another person is more than recognizing their efforts, as honorable as they may be. Honoring someone is looking at the work of the Holy Spirit in that person. It is honoring the Lord for what he has done, or is doing, through one of his children. That's why it can be competitive: it is boasting in the Lord. We should outdo one another in honoring what the Lord is doing through us.
Are we a people known for encouragement? Do we look beyond ourselves to others, honoring one another?
We look for good words said about us, but too often fail to say good words about others. To honor one another is the Christian's rebellion against the status quo of the cynical world. It is our war cry of grace into the misery of strife and accusation.
To be a Christian is to be indwelt by the Holy Spirit. That means that within us is the most honorable person in the universe. He is working in us and through us. He is accomplishing his work through weak sinners like you and me. He is advancing the gospel. He is saving the world. He is rescuing people out of darkness. He is bringing people into the light. Christians who are open to him are honorable people because they are allowing the Lord to do his work through them.
So outdo one another in showing honor. Recognize the work of the Lord in someone else. Most likely, they have no idea that God is doing anything through them. They feel weak and sinful, and they are, but they are also strong and glorious in Christ. Call that out in them for the glory of God and the building up of his church.
Outdo one another in showing honor.
Who's first?

I really have come to love this hobby and to rely on it as a sort of therapy and a wonderful way to connect with crafty folks like you! Continue reading "Your Friendship Is A Blessing"

Back from injuries, Finley doesn't want to over-think his position
Green Bay - He knifed up the seam, speeding past a linebacker. And using that instant cushion, Jermichael Finley leaped, twisted his body 90 degrees and hauled in the 27-yard reception against the Kansas City Chiefs last week.
No over-thinking. No apprehension. For the Green Bay Packers tight end, it was a meaningful catch in a not-so meaningful game.
"That's a play I want to make in my sleep," Finley said. "I think I can do that all day."
In 2012, Finley doesn't want to be a robot, "a machine." As he explained in a June interview with the Journal Sentinel, Finley vows to "freestyle" this season. Those plans were stunted early in training camp. The 25-year-old missed eight of his first 14 practices and three of four exhibition games. But with the regular season on tap, he assures everything is right on schedule.
Finley returned to practice Aug. 19. Quick enough, he says, to be a force immediately this season.
Even with a game suddenly on tap, Finley doesn't believe he's the one over-thinking.
"Every single guy I'm going against, if it's a linebacker, a safety is probably thinking a little bit more than I am," he said. "I promise you."
For two stretches of training camp, with a concussion and thigh pull, Finley was a spectator. So since returning, coaches have piled on the reps. In the final exhibition game, he played with the first- and second-team offense.
During practice, tight ends coach Jerry Fontenot - with whom Finley has developed a quick rapport - made sure to beef up the tight end's workload. Physically, the Packers don't have any concerns. Fontenot says Finley is "very sudden, very fast-twitch." To cut down on any potential hesitation this weekend, Fontenot has been showing Finley all possible looks he'd see against San Francisco.
Concern over his torn meniscus the previous season weighed Finley down in 2011. He caught 55 passes for 767 yards with eight touchdowns, yet also had 13 drops. During practice, anyways, Fontenot doesn't see uncertainty in the tight end's game.
"I don't think that there's anything on his plate that he needs to spend any extra time thinking about," Fontenot said. "I think he's ready to go."
Fontenot believes Finley returned from injury just in time.
"With each passing day that you're missing training camp, you become a little bit more concerned," Fontenot said. "I know as a coach, and as a player, playing football gets you into football shape. There's no two ways about it. We got him back right when we need him to."
One concern has to be Finley's chemistry with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, something the tight end has brought up more than once. The two had an abbreviated camp together.
They're playing catch-up. Fast. Once Finley did return from the thigh injury, Rodgers looked for him often. And at Thursday's practice, the two spent a few extra moments together after one goal-line drill fine-tuning a route.
But as Finley knows, there's no substitute for the game. The previous three preseasons, Finley caught 29 passes for 329 yards and five touchdowns. The two stormed into the regular season together. This year, they've only connected on the practice field.
"I think we're doing pretty good," Finley said. "You can never know because you're going against practice-squad guys. We're not going against the San Francisco 49ers. So we'll know around 7 or 8 o'clock on Sunday.
"He has five other receivers he has to throw to and they were on cue (last year). He had a lot of chemistry with them. That's the point I want to get to on Sunday."
At his best in 2009 and early in 2010, Finley said he "didn't listen to too many people" and "it was just the Finley way or no way." By that, he clarifies that he didn't play with apprehension, doubt.
To fuel loose, uninhibited play, he searches for personal motivation. That'll be easy Sunday with Vernon Davis on the other sideline.
"Hands down. That's the reason why I play football - because I'm competitive," Finley said. "I'm not detailing and looking at him, but I'm looking at the San Francisco 49ers and they have a tight end who's pretty good. So I want to top him at the end of the night."
Finley says Davis can "go vertical ASAP" and that he admires Davis' effort in the run game. He wouldn't declare himself the better tight end.
Fontenot, who says he watched opposing centers himself when he played, is all for this approach.
"Guys get motivated different ways," Fontenot said. "Whatever makes you play better, go for it. . . . Jermichael is tall, has range. I guess they're both pretty similar in that you can line them up anywhere on the football field and have them perform at a level that is up to anyone at that position."
Leading up to this season, Finley has not minced words. He's healthy. He's in shape. He wants to be known as one of the "best tight ends to ever touch the pigskin."
But he also missed a lot of time. He won't get ahead of himself yet.
"At the end of the day," he said, "it's about the 49ers."

Beaded Headdresses from India
I had to add this last picture because look at that color (and of course the beadwork)! <3
These young women are absolutely stunning in their pearl beaded headdresses.

Bothin Foundation: Grants for the Bay Area/
OVERVIEW: The Bothin Foundation supports social services, education, the arts, and environmental causes in San Francisco, Marin, Sonoma and San Mateo counties.
FOCUS AREAS: Social services, academic enrichment, youth development, arts, environment
IP TAKE: By solely providing capital grants that build capacity, the Bothin Foundation takes a refreshingly different approach for supporting direct service nonprofits in the Bay Area.
PROFILE: Established in 1917, the Bothin Foundation is the foundation of Henry E. Bothin of San Francisco. This is a locally focused nonprofit that provides capital grants in the region. Grantmaking interest areas are social services, academic enrichment, youth development, arts, and the environment.
The foundation only provides capital investment grants intended to build the capacity of its nonprofit grantees. Within these categories, Bothin provides building renovation grants to fund contracted labor associated with a project, including labor for removal and installation, as well as the hiring of contractors and engineers. Technology grants go towards equipment purchases and infrastructure upgrades, but they do not support website development or software. Bothin also supports vehicle purchases for transport, as well as vehicle costs like insurance, gas, and wrap-around print advertising. Past support has gone to the Agricultural Institute of Marin, Aim High, and Literacy for Environmental Justice.
Grants from the Bothin Foundation generally fall into range of $5,000 to $50,000. View the funder's grantmaking history on its About page. The Bothin Foundation focuses on the Bay Area, specifically San Francisco, Marin, Sonoma, and San Mateo counties. It generally does not fund hospitals (some exceptions are made for public hospitals and community clinics). Also, the foundation only gives grants to K-12 schools that exclusively service children with learning differences and developmental disabilities.
The Bothin Foundation has an open application process online, and it will only fund an organization every four years. There are three deadlines per year that coincide with board meetings and decision-making. Direct general questions to the staff at 415-561-6540 or to individual staff members via email.

From the 1968 album "Who Knows Where The Time Goes", "Pretty Polly" features boyfriend at the time, Stephen Stills, on guitar. US singer songwriter Judy was affectionately known on the circuit as "Judy Blue Eyes" which might just resonate with Crosby, Stills and Nash fans as approximating to the opening track of their second album. ("Suite Judy Blue Eyes").
A folk singer, Judy helped bring the world's attention to poets like Leonard Cohen, covering songs like "Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye", which was certainly on my turntable a lot in dreamy adolescence ('your hair upon the pillow like a sleep golden storm…')
"Pretty Polly" is a trad song, but given the Collins treatment, it's transmogrified into a moody soundscape, with pleading guitars to complement the pleadings of the central character as the ballad builds from gentle start to full throated anger at the end.
Guess I was just 14 years old when I heard this first. Still brings a lump to the throat.

I grew up listening to music from the late 60's onwards. Pirate pop radio; swapping LP's with friends; exploring genres; daydreaming over the latest woofer and tweeter.
In reality I spent thirty years imparting imperfect knowledge of English literature and drama to young minds in school. Regrets? No. I loved teaching; loved the interaction with the pupils, and made lifelong friends as a result. And what better way to keep up to date with music? I always played stuff in my lessons, and as a result, I'd be bombarded with suggestions from my flock! "Sir! Have you heard…?"

Happy is the crafter who gets to watch her handmade items go into the happy hands of the faithful customers! Happy is the maker who gets to see her clients multiply each year! Happy is the anxious salesperson seeing people remembering her products and wanting to buy more! I was the happy one this year. This holiday season I had tons of complements and very good sales beginning with two Clover Markets along with a fall Art Star craft bazaar in a very special race car museum.
The holiday season started off with "All Craft Considered" in the NPR building in Washington,DC. which was an amazing start! Then "Bazaart" at the American Visionary Museum and lastly "Holiday Heap" Charm City's Craft Mafia which had early bird tickets for the first hour. That first hour almost sold me out!
An incredible season thanks to my incredible fans!! Thanks Again! I'm going to take a couple of weeks off to visit Family in England for the Holidays! Will post pictures when I get there!

Netflix Picks Up 'Wet Hot American Summer' Series With Whole Cast Returning!by Gumbercules9000 on Jan 9th, 2015
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
Good news, everyone. It's finally happening. Paul Rudd will hate picking up his breakfast off the floor and we might get another steamy sex scene between Michael Ian Black and Bradley Cooper. Netflix is reviving the cult classic film 'Wet Hot American Summer' into a limited series.
Filming has already started at the summer camp and will be at least eight episodes long. The 2001 film was one of the funniest films of that year and still holds up fourteen years later. David Wain ('Stella' and 'Role Models') and Michael Showalter ('The Baxter') wrote the original film.
We hear that this will be some sort of prequel, but who knows with this whacky brand of comedy. But we do know Wain will return as director along with the cast of actors including Elizabeth Banks, H. Jon Benjamin, Michael Ian Black, Bradley Cooper, Judah Friedlander, Janeane Garofalo, Nina Hellman, Ken Marino, Zak Orth, David Hyde Pierce, Joe LoTruglio, Christopher Meloni, A.D. Miles, Marguerite Moreau, Amy Poehler, Paul Rudd, Marisa Ryan, Molly Shannon, Showalter and Kevin Sussman.
And don't forget, in the original film, there was a scene where all the camp counselors were discussing meeting in 10 or fifteen years as a reunion. I guess they weren't fucking around with that, since they moved it twice already.

GDPR Solutions - Overview
Comprehensive, low cost GDPR Compliance that Grows with your Organization
How many right to be forgotten requests, consent changes, data portability requests and subject access requests can you handle at the same time without overwhelming operations?
What is the PrivOps Matrix?
The PrivOps Matrix platform is a comprehensive data governance control plane and data catalog that contains:
- Workflow automation
- Policy automation
- Data transformation (ETL)
- Integration with 1000's of data sources
- A metadata catalog
The PrivOps Matrix automates and manages every type of data associated with GDPR compliance.
Getting started with GDPR Compliance
Most organizations will need to start with defining a roadmap that details the people, processes, technologies and outcomes required for successfully achieving GDPR compliance.
Using PrivOps' Onto Matrix platform, organizations will then be able to automate for continuous GDPR compliance. Finding, classifying and assessing your EU customers' data is an important first step; but even after this work, many underestimate the challenge to transform business and IT operations for compliance.
