Aldar completes $179m purchase of Abu Dhabi tower
Deal increases developer's office portfolio by 19% to over 240,000 sqm net leasable area
The Abu Dhabi-listed Aldar Properties has completed the acquisition of International Tower, an office tower in the Capital Gate district, for AED 658 million ($179m).
International Tower comprises 39,000 sqm NLA of Grade A commercial space and will immediately contribute to Aldar's net operating income supported by a strong mix of existing tenants and robust occupancy, according to a statement from the developer.
The asset will complement Aldar's existing AED 18 billion asset management portfolio of high-quality real estate assets across the retail, residential, office and hospitality sectors and further supports Aldar's asset management strategy to grow net operating income.
Talal Al Dhiyebi, Chief Executive Officer of Aldar Properties, said: "The acquisition of International Tower clearly demonstrates our belief in the strength of Abu Dhabi's commercial real estate market. With a strong mix of existing tenants, this grade A office tower will make an immediate contribution to net operating income, in line with our strategy to grow recurring income from our portfolio of high-quality assets. Supported by our strong balance sheet, we will continue to assess the market for opportunities that will further drive growth of our portfolio."
In addition to the acquisition of International Tower, Aldar also recently announced it will retain a proportion of the Water's Edge residential development for its asset management portfolio. These announcements demonstrate Aldar's ambition to further invest in developing a world class, high-quality asset management portfolio.

Efficient Verification of Tunnell's Criterion
An integer $n$ is congruent if there is a triangle with rational sides whose area is $n$. In the 1980s Tunnell gave an algorithm to test congruence which relied on counting integral points on the ellipsoids $2x^2+y^2+8z^2 = n$ and $2x^2+y^2+32z^2=n$. The correctness of this algorithm is conditional on the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer. The known methods for testing Tunnell's criterion use $O(n)$ operations. In this paper we give several methods with smaller exponents, including a randomized algorithm using time $n^{1/2 + o(1)}$ and space $n^{o(1)}$, and a deterministic algorithm using space and time $n^{1/2 + o(1)}$.

As a photographer, no matter your skill level, keeping your photos safe is your number 1 job. Cameras will come and go, your skills will always be growing, and gear will break. But once you take a photo, it's yours forever... until it's gone. Keeping your photos safe is essential but not always easy.
As a beginner, you're told you need to back up your data so you go to your local big box store get overwhelmed by all the options and just buy the cheapest hard drive they have. There is nothing wrong with that at first. In fact, I often recommend starting off with a smaller external hard drive like the one below to get you going. It's fine for transporting files between 2 places and even copying files from your computers hard drive in case something happens to your main computer. But it is terrible for long-term storage like what you need to protect your photos.
All hard drives fail. There is no way around it. If you only have one copy of a photo, the likelihood of you losing that photo is 100%. But there is a way to protect yourself! With a RAID. This sounds technical, and it is. It's a box that holds multiple hard drives (4 or more) and separates the data across 2 or more of the hard drives in the box. That way if one of your hard drives fail, the RAID box will still keep all of your data safe so when you put in a new hard drive it will rebuild all of the data. It's complicated I know. And as a Husband, Father of 2 kids, a Business owner, and a Photographer the last thing I want to do is have to worry about losing my photos if something goes wrong. This is where the company Drobo shines!
Drobo has created a RAID box that handles all of the hard work on its own letting me get back to spending time with the family. Drobo has patented BeyondRAID technology that not only keeps your data safe even if 2 hard drives fail but will also let you mix and match drive sizes. This is great for expandability as you are not limited only to the hard drives we have available today. The Drobo will let you increase your storage capacity as you grow as a photographer and are taking more and more photos.
I've been using a Drobo for YEARS! Not only does it keep my photos safe but its ultimately keeping my business safe. From everyone I have talked to who owns a Drobo, I have never heard a negative review or a complaint about it. Sure the device may seem pretty expensive but when your memories and business rely on keeping your data safe I truly think it's a great investment. Ask anyone who has ever lost photos how much they would pay to get them back, the answer will overwhelmingly be "Anything"

CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy (CNS) — Everyone is given the grace to pray, which is the only way to have a life-giving relationship with God, Pope Benedict XVI said.
Resuming his weekly general audiences after a month-long break, Pope Benedict continued his series of talks on prayer Aug. 1. (Watch a video of the audience.)
The audience, which lasted less than half an hour, was held in Castel Gandolfo's main square, just outside the entrance to the papal summer villa. The Vatican said the estimated 2,000 pilgrims and visitors could not all fit inside the courtyard of the villa.
Marking the feast of St. Alphonsus Liguori, founder of the Redemptorists and patron of moral theologians and confessors, the pope said the saint lived in "a period of great rigorism," but encouraged priests to administer the sacrament in a way that communicated "the joyful embrace of God the merciful father, who in His infinite mercy never tires of welcoming back His repentant sons."
Looking at St. Alphonsus' tract "The Necessity and Power of Prayer," the pope said human life often is marked by temptations and weakness, but even the simplest prayer to God can give a person the power to resist evil and do good.
"The grace to pray is given to all," the pope said. "We should not be afraid to turn to God and, filled with trust, present our requests to him with the certainty of receiving what we need."
St. Alphonsus taught that all people need a relationship with God, who created them, and the way to initiate and deepen that relationship is through daily personal prayer and receiving the sacraments, he said.
The grace that comes through prayer and the sacraments "increases in us the divine presence that directs our path, enlightens it and makes it safe and serene, even in the midst of difficulties and dangers," Pope Benedict said.

Katy Perry will be the headline halftime performer at Super Bowl XLIX, according to multiple reports.
The Wall Street Journal previously reported Perry was among several artists the NFL was interested in for the show. However, the league was also interested in being compensated by the performer for the fame the television ratings bring.
In February, Super Bowl XLVIII set viewership records with 111.5 million viewers, and the NFL was reportedly looking to capitalize off that success when looking for a headline act.
Perry recently appeared on College GameDay, ESPN's popular Saturday college football show, and alluded that she was not interested in paying the NFL to perform while delivering a theatrical segment that made headlines.
Perry will be following Bruno Mars, who performed at halftime during Super Bowl XLVIII.
Super Bowl XLIX will be played on Feb. 1 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ.

About St Werburghs Community Association
SWCA was established in 1972 as a membership organisation to co-manage the community centre. In 1999 SWCA was incorporated as a registered charity (no. 1074495) and a registered company limited by guarantee (no. 3713212) and took over responsibility for the management of the community centre from Bristol City Council.
In 2009-2010 we completed our Capital Project. As a result a dilapidated Victorian former school building is now a welcoming community hub and some derelict outbuildings have been replaced by an energy-efficient annexe offering an additional 200 m2 of flexible space. The project was financed by £1,05 million grant from the Community Assets Programme. Bristol City Council fully supported us in the bid, installed a new roof and windows and granted 35-year lease on 'peppercorn' rent. .
Since then both, the use of our Centre and our income from bookings, have doubled. We have 226 active member groups, which run activities that benefit the community and use the Centre on regular basis, in comparison to 98 we had in 2008. We recorded 77,000 individual visits to the Centre last year.
We have achieved Visible Communities award in 2010, the Community Venue of the Year Voscur Award in 2013 and Green Tourism Silver award in 2016.
All our office spaces are let and we created two more converting our storerooms last year to accommodate the demand. In September 2016 we created a café within the Centre.
SWCA prides itself in being one of the most inclusive organisations in the city. We ensure that there is cultural understanding and mutual respect in our venue and will continue to educate, and build platforms for knowledge sharing and building stronger communities.
We run and support projects within the Centre that enable the most isolated and disadvantaged local people to participate in a group activity, gain new skills, build confidence and cope better in everyday life. We host over 30 affordable weekly classes and support groups, which improve people's health and wellbeing.

Can't create ROM slot with Safestrap
Hi there,
I am playing around my Droid Razr with multi boot, I used Safestrap to install the CM ROM on slot one, that worked great no problem. Now I want to try Ubuntu Touch, the instruction said it has to be installed on slot 4 with 2G size, since I've lot of apps on the stock Android I can't create a 2G slot, I've to delete slot one to make room for that and I did that, but now I couldn't create any slot, the create button is gray out no matter the size selected, any idea ?
I might have messed up something, now when I boot up the stock ROM I got low internal storage warning, I got little more than 200 meg left, but I don't see how I can reclaim the space, there is only one OS on the phone the stock Android, any idea ?

Following my Healthy Pregnancy Series which I really enjoyed researching and writing, I am now undertaking a natural progression with this first blog in the Healthy Motherhood Series.
Your little one has now made his/her entrance into the world and you are yourself born as a mother, what a miraculous thing!
The focus is often on the child as he/she is understandably a source of wonder but both the postpartum mother and child need to be equally nurtured. I have to say that I had massively underestimated how a mother can feel in the few days and weeks after giving birth both physically and emotionally.
- YOU made it happen!
The postpartum mother might have to deal with the disappointment of not having been able to have the birth she wished for. I can't say enough that no matter how your baby was born - C-section, forceps or natural birth - you did give birth to that child, lady! Give yourself credit even if you received some help. The most important thing is that you and your child have finally met and are well.
- Be kind to your body
Your body has been through a trauma in the etymological sense. The Greek word trauma means "wound", so consider yourself a patient: your body has some healing to do. There is therefore no need for you to rush into "getting back to normal", whatever that means for you.
Among other things coming to mind is your pre-pregnancy fitness level. Rushing into doing exercise could lead to the exact opposite result, extending the duration of the healing process.
One example is doing sit-ups and crunches before being discharged by your GP (generally at 6 weeks postpartum or 8 weeks if you had a C-section). Your pelvic floor muscles have been stretched and weakened, and in extreme cases, if starting exercise too early, you could end up with a prolapse. Similarly, if you have separated stomach muscles (or diastasis recti), sit-ups, crunches and planks could aggravate the separation. Abdominal breathing and some gentle Pilates exercises such as pelvic tilts lying on your back with your knees bent are appropriate though. The key words here are "take it slow!".
- Rest, rest… and rest!
To help you deal with the emotional and physical ups and downs, rest as much as you can. You might have heard this quote before: "The bridge between despair and hope is a good night sleep." (E. Cossman) While you won't be having a good night sleep per se for a little while, try to rest or sleep while your baby sleeps. That means taking naps several times a day. You will be amazed at the difference 20 minutes here and there makes. I wondered a few times how I managed to be remotely functional over those first postpartum weeks despite what seemed to be little sleep at night but I did take regular naps during the day which all added up to a decent amount of rest.
- Healthy eating
Along with rest, food is essential in assisting your recovery.
Food is absorbed by your body and becomes you so make sure you eat wholesome fresh food. Think soups, dahls, stews, salads, complex carbohydrates (such as quinoa, amaranth and millet) and fibres. Nothing out of the ordinary, simply healthy flavoursome eating!
About 3 weeks before my due date, I started cooking regularly and in bigger quantities, freezing extra portions that certainly came in handy in the early days of postpartum. For inspiration, I can't recommend enough the Hemsley + Hemsley cook books. Their first one The Art of Eating Well was such a success that they published a second one last February entitled Good + Simple. Healthy delicious nutritious food, just what the doctor ordered!
- Your support team
Both you and your partner will be able to do with some support, emotionally, physically and practically! Ladies, let your partner change most the nappies over the first couple of weeks (isn't it what parental leave is for?! ;-)) and don't feel bad about it!
Your partner will feel pretty tired or overwhelmed too but you have to deal with not only less hours of sleep, you are also on the mend after a physical trauma. I know I keep repeating it but it is important to remind yourself that you have a whole lot more on your plate.
Saying that, both you and your partner will need the support of your close friends and family. My husband and I needed to talk about the birth itself and it was great to share our experience with our loved ones. Talking to friends who were several times mum was for me of great help and insight. I am grateful to them for being so open and bringing some sense of humour into the mix!
- Visits
While you will probably not feel like going out for a week or even two, you might like having some company every now and then
Word of caution: having too many visitors in a day can leave you even more exhausted so please make sure you don't overstretch yourself. Oh and during those visits, it is more than ok not to play hostess, you are a patient! Let your partner, or even better, your family and friends be in charge of serving teas and coffees and don't hesitate to leave the room if you need to have a lie down.
We made the mistake of having a kind of open day for our friends to pop in about 8 days after our daughter's birth and ended up having non-stop visitors from 11am until 7pm… Needless to say I was a total wreck by the end of the day!
- Patience and yet more patience
Patience will be your most precious tool. Patience towards yourself, your partner and your baby. Give yourself time to get to grip with motherhood.
Trust that your baby will start crying less and less as he/she gets accustomed to his/her new environment and gets to know you.
Be patient with your partner who might struggle a little with the new dynamic and accept that your body needs time to heal sufficiently before you can resume some of your usual activities.
Rest, heal and get stronger by the day, new mamas! :-)
If you would like to get in touch, please drop me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com. I am always happy to listen and share the little that I have learnt 4 months into the journey of motherhood!

Stir fry with home-made ramen noodles
This one was a while ago again, and another Lucky Peach special: my first attempt at home-made ramen noodles. A fascinating thing: alkaline salt. You make it by slowly baking baking soda (crazy I know): it transforms sodium-bicarbonate to sodium-carbonate, an essential ingredient in those yellow noodles which aren't egg noodles, but look and taste […]Posted in :, Pasta and Noodles and tagged alkaline salt, flour, light soy sauce, pak choi, roast pork, spring onion, water, watercress with 1 comment »

Now that we are close to a month into winter, it is time for the gardener in us to slow down, reflect and refresh. It is time to get into all of those garden books you have collected, do some serious reading and also to look at all of the plant nursery catalogues that have come in. You say you don't have any garden books? May I suggest a trip to one of our local Halifax Library branches and check out some of the books they have on hand.
I bet you are tired of raking leaves, right? Now you can see the trees in the landscape and forest. Without leaves, trees look a whole lot different and show off their structure without all of that greenery hiding everything.
Find a woodland trail, albeit in South Boston along the Tobacco Heritage Trail or at Edmunds Park. Take a walk and enjoy the scenery. Any favorite woodland trail is a totally different experience in the winter. It has been said that a forest shows its winter bones.
Like forests, your winter stricken gardens and landscape provide new views, insights and inspiration ... yes, inspiration for what you want to see in the coming spring.
Part of planning for next year's garden and landscaping changes might include, besides reading about possibilities, a trip or two to visit some public gardens. Public gardens generally will have many different species and varieties/cultivars of plants that you may want to consider.
One excellent place to visit is the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C. What a relief to go into the arboretum located below the Capital, especially after a wintry trek on the mall.
Inside this beautiful building you will find flora and fauna from around the globe as well as from around the country. After you have soaked up the sights, smells and colors in that warm moist air, you may want to check out Green Spring Gardens in Alexandria, just west of I-385 off Little River Turnpike, where you will find Virginia Master Gardener volunteers involved in the annual upkeep, and you also may get a tour of these beautiful gardens.
In fact, at many of our gardens throughout Virginia and North Carolina, you are likely to run into Master Gardeners involved in the care and tours.
J. C. Raulston in Raleigh is another highlight stop for any plant enthusiasts. These gardens are close enough that you may be interested in some of the upcoming programs just down the road from us. The new year programs at J. Raulston Arboretum started Tuesday, Jan. 3, at 1 p.m. with the "Plantsmen's Tour" taking in the Winter Wonders with Director Mark Weathington leading the tour.
The following week on Thursday, Jan. 12, at 7:30 p.m. a lecture was held at the arboretum entitled "Exploring Cuba and South Africa with the J.C. Raulston Arboretum."
There is generally very informative programming throughout the calendar year at the arboretum. The director is very knowledgeable and someone I've worked with before over the years when he was the director of the Norfolk Botanical Gardens prior to going to NCSU. He is a graduate of Virginia Tech, so he probably has a hard time sitting on either side of the stadium at a football game when those two teams play.
If you are really adventurous and want to travel further north, consider visiting Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square Pennsylvania or take the Amtrak trip to New York and take in the New York Botanical Gardens and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens.
If you are leaning towards a southern excursion, I-85 will take you close to some wonderful choices such as the Atlanta Botanical Gardens or Callaway Gardens west of Atlanta at Pine Mountain, Georgia.
Heading on into Alabama you will find Bellingrath Gardens and Home, located in Theodore, Alabama, which is near Dauphin Island, Alabama. If you are inclined to check out the deep southern gardens of Florida, there is the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden located at Coral Gables, Florida. Also if in the Largo area, consider the Florida Botanical Gardens. There are 13 major botanical gardens in Florida, so let your fingers do a search on the internet, and you will find many places to go (while it is icy/snowy in Virginia).
Just don't forget to write down those desirable plants that you'll find along the way. You know…keep focused on the reason for the trip; gardening and landscaping ideas.
After visiting a few of these gardens, or just doing some cruising on the internet, you should have some inspiration for what you might like to incorporate in your garden and landscape as spring gets closer and closer.
Remember, plants awaken our senses in many ways such as through sight, touch, taste, smell and hearing. Yes, hearing is affected by the sounds of the pollinators hard at work in the spring. The senses bring fascination, and with that, pleasure.
Fragrance and aromas in the landscape can be a specific pleasure created to make you excited about going out each and every day. In the true traditional southern culture, many of us purposely plant fragrant roses.
There are gardenias that will survive and do well here in Southside Virginia, but not much further north. The fragrances generated by the flowers will have you looking for the pollinators that also love them, honeybees. Oh, for the pleasurable whiff of newly bloomed old-fashion rose, fresh cut grass or a quick afternoon rain shower. The sense of smell will be awoken. Want more of such pleasure? Then do plan and plant aromatic plants in your beds.
Consider cultivating fragrance and aromas as an enhancement to the gardening life and well-being. In the spring, the sense of sight is the most anxious. Imagine that first glimpse of a cheerful daffodil peeking out of winter litter and mulch. Some daffodils are fragrant, so why not plan for early boosts to the senses of sight and smell? Plant a fragrant daffodil in the fall, or even take the risk of planting some on a winter day.
And while you're at it, don't forget fragrant hyacinths. Do you appreciate subtle aromas that do not waft but that invite a personal, up-close whiff or brushing against? The choices are many all through the gardening season.
As I said, the resources are many; visiting botanical gardens and arboretums, our local Virginia Cooperative Extension Office, local libraries and from your smartphone or computer.
To cut out some of your searching, I have put together a list of aromatic plants (minus always-fragrant herbs) to consider growing in your garden. This list came from the book, "The Aromatherapy Garden: Growing Fragrant Plants for Happiness and Well-Being" by Kathi Keville.
Balsam fir, clematis, clove pink/dianthus, daphne, flowering tobacco/nicotiana, freesia, gardenia, geranium, heliotrope, hyacinth, iris, jasmine, juniper, lavender, lilac, lily-of-the-valley, Mexican orange flower, mock orange, oriental lily, phlox, poet's daffodil, primrose, rose, stock, sweet box/sarcococca, sweet flag, sweet pea, sweet pepperbush, tuberose, trumpet flower, viburnum, violet, wallflower, wintersweet and witch hazel.
This list will give you a wide variety of choices in color, height, coverage etc. Not all varieties of a species are fragrant, so you need to check closely on each to make sure that is the variety you want prior to purchasing.
If you see "sweet" or "ordorata/odoratus" in the plant's botanical name, it should have aroma to it. Some people would add Yarrow to the list as well. Yarrow is one of those plants that the Native American peoples used for medicinal purposes, but the pungent odor isn't pleasing to some folks who will turn up their nose at having it in the garden/landscape. Yarrow also was used as an insect repellant, but then your spouse might not be too happy if you went "native" and used it around him or her.
When you use these senses in designing and building a landscape pleasing to you, you have awoken more in you.
Many of the above plants will draw beneficial insects, birds, mammals, that will add to your sense of sight, sound and redirect nature's wonders closer to home — just a new way to look for change in your gardening and landscaping.
Okay, some mammals aren't welcome, but we can't control that.
After all of your planning and ordering plants and bulbs, then on those cold damp days of winter when you don't want to do anything outdoors, you can engage in arts and crafts projects to transform the spoils of gardening into other forms and uses that can continue to fascinate you.
Watch for advertised educational opportunities to make hardscape items for your garden.
Our Halifax County Master Gardeners are always putting on educational programs and do advertise them in our local newspapers. Just watch for these announcements of upcoming programs and call and sign up to attend.
If you have an idea for a program that you would like to see, you can always drop me an email at email@example.com and share your ideas. In the meantime, I'll be doing a lot of planning, planting and awakening my senses as well.

Last Chance for Summer Vinegar Flavors/
August is a month full of endings. Summer is coming to a close, which means kids are back in school, summer produce is giving way to apples and pears, and the days are getting shorter. It also means it's the last chance for summer vinegar flavors at The Olive Scene! September brings fall weather - and fall flavors.
We would love to be able to carry every vinegar available, but we simply don't have room for the wide variety of flavors we offer! In order to offer our customers a taste of as many different flavored vinegars as possible, we rotate flavors according to the season. This means some of your favorites might not be in our stores again until March. We'll transition out of the following flavors in September to make room for our fall assortment:
- Gravenstein Apple
- Black Cherry
- Blackberry Ginger
- Blueberry
- Coconut
- Lemongrass Mint
- Ripe Peach
- Pomegranate Quince
- Violet
One of the many amazing things about balsamic vinegar is that it has a long shelf life! You can stock up on your favorite flavors and not worry about them going bad. Dark balsamic vinegars have an indefinite shelf life as long as they're stored in a cool, dark place. They'll keep reducing and thickening over time, becoming sweeter and richer. White balsamic vinegars will naturally darken over time and become more pungent, so we suggest using them within 2 years.

Jens Haaning (born 1965) is a Danish conceptual artist living and working in Copenhagen.
Haaning has produced a body of artworks since the 1990's, which – when seen together – offers an acute reflection of a complex and changing society in the West. The works address the existing structures of power and communication in the global society and necessitate a debate around subjects such as migration, displacement, gender equality, nationalism, and other aspects related to our coexistence.
Often the works consist of interventions in institutional structures or in a public space. Examples of these are: 'Middelburg Summer 1996' (1996), which was a temporary relocation of a factory employing immigrant workers to the exhibition space De Vleeshal, Middelburg, The Netherlands, and 'Turkish Jokes' (1994) a sound piece with a tape-recording of jokes, told by Turks in their native language, which was played in a public square in Oslo, Norway.

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is dynamically positioned between both the past and the future. It calls us to remember the past, sometimes conjuring up memories that had once been forgotten—while it also helps reframe memories that have become haunting to the tired mind. Looking towards the future, Rosemary gives us the courage to power over obstacles and freely release our creative expression in the world.
This strong and camphoraceous scent is a standard for mental stimulation and awareness. This scent simultaneously pulls both the past and the future together to meet in the present moment. The natural effect it has on the mind combined with the power to inspire deeper breath within us makes Rosemary the perfect choice for a creating a mindful yet productive morning.
Use Rosemary to reflect on the past while also looking forward toward the future. Let the past inform the future, yet not define it. What lessons can be gained from the past day, week, or year? As you look forward at the horizon from your place in the present, what new paths can be discerned? Rosemary can help you make the commitment, stay the commitment, and see the commitment through to completion.
Botanical Name: Rosmarinus officinalis
Country of Origin: Spain
Part of Plant: Leaf
Method of Extraction: Steam-distilled

Earthquake Tsunami 2018
Today The National weather service issued a Tsunami warning for all the west coast. Though it was later cancelled the warning was real. But why was this happening? And why now? Jesus made it clear to His Disciples when they wanted to know the signs of His Coming in Luke 21:25. He told them the things to watch for Let's take a look of the scripture and then I'll explain:
"And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;" Luke 21:25 NKJV
He highlighted three celestial elements because the number three in scripture represents the three members of the Godhead that bear witness to the things to come. (1 John 5:7 NKJV) As you can these three elements are the Sun, Moon and the Stars that are causing nearly catastrophic events on Earth. In recent years we have seen these "signs" or "signals" play out let's take a look:

Lost Dreams—New Identity
The following is an article I started nearly three years ago. I went poking around in old files today, to find something you might resonate with and found it. I had no idea that three years ago I was writing it to myself—today. Holy Hanna how does that happen?
To understand how this applies to me, I'll let you know that I just finished my book… well mostly. Some tweaking still required but for the most part it is done—It took nearly five years. As soon as I sent it off for interior design, my life fell apart. Or more like, my identity fell apart. It was as if I'd poured all of me into that project and once it was off my plate my identity was just… well… gone. Who the heck am I? I didn't like myself. I didn't like my work. I didn't like my life.
To understand how this applies to you, I'll let you know that I see similar things happen to and for those who dream of being out of their marriage, and into something new and better, or at least different. Perhaps it is the end of the dream that causes the letdown. Perhaps you can relate to a lost identity.
For my part, it's taken several months of focused inner work—including therapy, writing, grieving, being coached, talking with others, hiding, blaming, protesting, cursing and more meditating and praying than I've ever done before.
Part of my recovery plan (if you could call it a plan) was a four-day meditation trip to the Colorado mountains. I found the perfect secluded spot along a river. I would be completely alone for 4 days. I walked in the cool of the mornings and the evenings, and read The Sacred Journey of the Peaceful Warrior before I went to sleep at night, and the rest of the time I just watched, felt, connected… and waited for answers to arise from stillness. I suppose it's not surprising that some surprising answers came. I had to listen closely because they came stealthily…more as changes to the way I felt than some big revelation dropped into my brain.
So, I'm back. This next phase of my personal evolution is, at least for now, complete. I'm back with a renewed sense of BEing. A new curiosity. And new direction, which is the same old direction but with a different heartbeat. I have more to give…and more of a desire to give.
I hope you enjoy the article that's been waiting three years for this day and time and hour to be published. I call it…
Creatives and The Rest of Us
Creatives. You know, artists, writers, sculptors, inventors, playwrights, musicians, teachers, and the like. They're often a step ahead of the rest of us in finding our life's calling. Their drive to do so is very strong it doesn't let them rest. Life brings us what we need… to grow, evolve, change…. to become a larger version of ourselves. Once awakened to our purpose we become the craftsmen of our own lives. Once glimpsed, we become obsessed with living it. We hunger for it, long for it, and will destroy for it. Sometimes, before we even understand this newly awakened drive, we cut important ties in order to follow the scent, which is as elusive as the wafting smells of a freshly baked pie on the windowsill.
The Soul Awakened
When the soul awakens it goes on a search, like a bear coming out of hibernation. It's starving. It requires nourishment—books, talks, conversations on higher subjects, art, theater. It craves creativity dammit. To find ourselves back on the couch looking at the spouse and kids and a mortgage, we become convinced that that is what is standing in the way of our more purposeful life. We take drastic measures to begin the search for that sense of purpose that has heretofore eluded us. Yay for the heart that searches, but it's a good idea to look into the future before destroying one aspect of our lives to create another.
The Let Down
Laurie Cameron, via several of her books, my favorites being The Artist's Way and The Right to Write coaches artists on the finer points of BEing an artist. She speaks of the 'letdown' an artist will experience after long engagement with a piece of work. I believe it could also apply to romance. The experience portrays the struggle of someone who has gotten a glimpse of a new purposeful life and compares that dream to the daily realities of life. Here's an excerpt:
"When we are making things, we sometimes get very, very big. Or simply very, very free. In the height of the creative moment, we are not constricted and downsized by our daily rigmarole – our age, our family tensions, our feelings of being a cog in the wheel. It is hard to come back to our normal size after such a heady expansion – and often, we don't, at first.
"Creative flight is exactly that – flight. We get a higher than bird's-eye view of our life and our dreams and often many other things as well. We "see" the big picture, and such a vision can leave our ordinary perception shattered. We are staggered by the magnitude of what we have seen, and our own size feels foreign.
"As we try to land back in our own life, we may shoot past our real size and feel like someone very small. This is normal, just scary. It is hallucinogenic, like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: I was so big and now I am so small. Or our life may feel like Mother Hubbard's—we feel pinched and can't quite wedge ourselves back into the shoe we normally walk in. It's not so much that are head is too big that that it's still full of very big ideas."
The Question
This is written specifically to artisans/creatives. But aren't we all artists and creators of our own lives? The principles are the same. We can become drunk with the possibilities. The 'very, very big' and 'very, very free' of which Cameron speaks is intoxicating. The view from the mountaintop can be so awe inspiring. We visit the mountain tops, but we live in the valley. The question becomes how do we bring this expansive vision of ourselves back into our day to day?
I'm certainly asking myself that question. I'd love to hear what YOU know. Maybe your insights will help us all!

Dear Jeannine,
I am so glad you decided to publish this article, the message was meant for me to read. I am currently searching for my identity and it is something that I am struggling to manage. I have been separated from my husband for 4 months now and just when I get to the top of that mountain something or some evil force brings me back into the valley. We've been together for 33 years and married for 23 of them. My identity for so long was built around being a wife and a mother of 3 very challenging boys. Now all my boys but one (with special needs) are still at home and I am mourning the death of my marraige. This was not a place I thought I would ever be and although we struggled with issues in our marraige, I did and still do love him and long to be with him but the feelings are not reciprocated. So far I have experienced all of the stages of grief…denial,fear, sadness, acceptance, anger…and I seem to be stuck between anger and forgiveness. While I this has been a journey which has led to my spiritual awakening and a deeper understanding of God's will and I am blessed with a tremendous support system of family and friends, I still struggle with fitting in…I feeling like I am floating, like I do not belong anywhere. I have decided to take a short trip with some friends to escape my reality I am already anticipating the return to my life. The biggest and most difficult thing I have found while searching for my identity is the "meantime", living in the moment and enjoying the moment. The anxiety of the unknown is tremendous while at the same time I know that the scariest time is the time before you "jump". We spend half our time worrying about things that may never happen. As part of my identity change I am working on living in the moment and taking things one day at a time or as a friend keeps telling me…"One cup of coffee at a time". Recognizing all of the emotions that go along with this process will help me heal. In closing I will leave this post with this:
"It's not so much that we are afraid of change or so in love with the old ways, but it's that place in between that we fear…It's like being between trapezes. It's Linus when his blanket is in the dryer. There's nothing to hold on to." – Marilyn Ferguson

Wow, I can totally relate to this. Let down #1-Post wedding. That was an eye opener. During our two year engagement and wedding planning, after the big event, I had not idea who I was. I remember how uncomfortable that was for me. Let down #2-Post X Country Bike Ride-After being a bike for 2 months, I had to learn how to re-enter back into my life. I knew myself on my bike, in complete control of my destiny, I was empowered, then it was over. Another shock to my system. Let down #3 and works in progress-continually happening. As a separated woman, I continually strive to create myself, create my new "me", "for me", and I still find myself let down at times, but I understand in this 3rd round.

Well, thank you Jeannine – and I was also moved by Lisa's words.
I found your exchanges on line because I was surfing around "loss of purpose" after divorce. In case it helps either of you, http://msdora.hubpages.com/hub/Levelheaded-Divorcee-Advises-Divorced-Friends is also nicely written. Last Summer, 2012, I was divorced after 25 years marriage, 28 together. So many of the problems were my mistakes and now, frankly, as I think back to childhood, teenage years and developing marriage years, perhaps it was really my immaturities (and perhaps some kind of arrested development in childhood years) that made life in marriage ultimately difficult. Relationships between a mother and son can make the son's married life and course difficult later. We have three marvellous children (19-24) and will definitely make every effort to cherish and support their unfolding young lives. But me? I am on the floor with grief, almost cry myself to sleep many nights, and wake up disorientated without Jenny, every single day …; Lisa, I entirely understand you.

Sorry this is so difficult Jeff. I feel your pain. I love it that you are allowing your grief, and allowing it to transform you. It definitely sounds like your situation could be rooted in childhood, with mom. Not only your marriage dynamics, but the way divorce is affecting you. If we didn't get our attachment needs met when young we experience sheer terror, and as you say, disorientation, without our partner present. Developmentally it's a little like a child missing a mother rather than one adult missing another. If this is you, I hope you will seek healing for any attachment deficits. One book I like is "How We Love" by Yerkovich. There is also a form of therapy called Internal Family Systems that could be very helpful to you.
Most importantly, remember that this is only a stage. Honor yourself enough to honor your emotions. This is not a time to muscle through, pretend things are ok, or carry on as if all were well. It isn't. If it didn't matter it wouldn't hurt. But it does matter and it does hurt.

We didn't do much of anything on Wednesday. We stayed home all day and did stuff around here. The dogs have been missing us, so we stayed home with them and they appreciated it. We groomed Cassie in the afternoon, I combed out some of her tangles and Stella clipped her while Tramp supervised everything. We spent most of the afternoon outside and it seemed to tire us all out and we came inside and almost immediately went to sleep. It was a good day!
Thursday we didn't plan anything because we had to work this afternoon. This would have been our first day to work this week but there was a misunderstanding about our hours and the store's hours. We had planned to come in at 3 and understood the store was open until 6 and would have rented boats until 5, but we were an hour off. They closed at 5 and would have stopped renting at 4, but when we arrived to work all the boats were in and locked up so we found some things to do, cleaning and stocking and knocked off at 4. We had cleared this schedule with two of the regular employees, but we'll make up the time later in the week.
Friday we went in to work at 12:30 and immediately went to work renting boats. We were fairly busy because there was a large group of home school children in the park and they all wanted to go for a boat ride. It was a good day and we enjoyed it.
Susan called and invited us to meet them at a place called Spykes barbecue in Kingsland. We had heard good things about it but it was only so-so as far as we were concerned. It was okay but not great and we all wished we had driven the 30 miles to Llano and Coopers. They will be leaving tomorrow and it was good to spend time with our friends before they leave.
So long.

Big bang adoption or direct changeover is the adoption of the type of the instant changeover, when everybody associated with the new system moves to the fully functioning new system on a given date. [1] [2] [3] This is the simplest methods of changeover.
When a new system needs to be Implemented in an organization , there are three different ways to adopt this new system: The big bang adoption phased adoption and parallel adoption . In case of parallel adoption the old and the new system are running parallel, so all the users can get used to the new system, and meanwhile of their work using the old system. Phased adoption, which means that the adoption will happen in several phases, so after each phase the system is a little nearer to be fully adopted. With the big bang adoption, the switch between using the old system and using the new system happens at one single date, the so-called instant changeover of the system.
The big bang adoption type is riskier than other adoption types because there are fewer learning opportunities incorporated into the approach, so quite some preparation is needed to get to the big bang. [1] This preparation will be described below, illustrated by the process-data model of the big bang adoption.
Table of concepts
Several concepts are used in this entry. The definitions of these concepts are given in the table below.

|System which is in use, after the Big bang has happened (Koop, Rooimans and de Theye, 2003)
Big bang
Once the management has decided to use the big bang method and supports the changes which are needed for this, the real changing process can start. This process exists of several steps: converting the system, releasing parts of the system and training the future users.[1]
The activities in the process are explained in the table below, to state them clear. The concepts that are used to execute the activities are in capitals.
|Prepare management (see Adoption)
|Determine organizational changes
|The process of determining the changes that will have to take place to make the big bang possible that results in a REPORT OF ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES
|Agree on organizational changes
|To be able to introduce the big bang, there has to be agreement about the change-plan which results in an AGREEMENT CONTRACT. If there's no agreement a new agreement meetings are necessary or the changes need to be determined different again and again, until an AGREEMENT CONTRACT is created.
|Convert system
|Make planning for future users
|Make the PLANNING for the people who will have to deal with the NEW SYSTEM, so they have an overview of the events that are going to happen[1]
|Convert data from old system
|Convert data from the old system so it can be used in the NEW SYSTEM (Koop, Rooimans and de Theye, 2003)
|Load data into new system
|Load data the CONVERTED DATA into the NEW SYSTEM[1]
|Test data in new system
|TEST DATA so it'll be known whether if the data will be usable in the NEW SYSTEM[1]
|Execute offline trials
|Execute TRIAL with the system and with the users of the system to check whether if the system will work correct[1]
|Check to verify validity
|Checking validity so the system can be made ready to become released (Koop, Rooimans and de Theye, 2003)
|Release parts
|Release converted database
|Release DATABASE which is converted from the old DATABASE[1]
|Release produced application
|Release the APPLICATION which is produced for the staff[1]
|Release infrastructure
|Release the new INFRASTRUCTURE[1]
|Prepare users
|Maintain buffer of experienced staff
|Create a BUFFER of staff who can take over the duties of the people who have to be trained in using the NEW SYSTEM, so the daily work can go on[1]
|Train users
|Train users in preparation for the big release of the system, to create a LIST OF TRAINED USERS
Convert the system
At first a planning for the whole adoption process is needed. By making a planning future users will know what will happen and when they should expect certain changes, which avoids unnecessary uncertainties and therefore creates a better working atmosphere. The planning also makes clear when the real adoption takes place and gives the future users the opportunity to get ready for this change.[1] In the model below is shown that the activities (in the grey box) lead to outcomes (in the boxes next to the grey box) to be able to have a partial outcome: the converted system
When the planning is made and everyone knows what will be expected from them, the technical changeover can start. First the old data needs to be converted into new data to be able to work with the data in the new system (Koop, Rooimans and de Theye, 2003). Then the new data needs to be loaded into the new system, which results in the so-called loaded data. This loaded data needs to be tested to check the efficiency of the data and to test the level of understanding of the future users. So off-line trials need to be executed to check if the system and the users can work together. Not only the efficiency and the understanding need to be tested, also the validity needs to be tested to make the level of data validation clear.[1] ). If the data is not valid, the management need to determine the changes again and the organisation will have to prepare again on a different way of executing the Big bang adoption (See Adoption; Prepare an organization for adoption).
Release parts of the system
If all the data is valid, separate parts of the system can be released. The database which is converted from the old database needs to be released, so the new data is accessible. Further on the produced application needs to be released, so the new application can also be used. The infrastructure of the whole new system also needs to be released, so that it is clear what the system will look like and how everything is connected (Koop, Rooimans and de Theye, 2003). Important to note is that in this phase only separate parts are released, which don't form the new system yet, but only parts of it. Note that all of this happens off-line, only the system developers see this, the users are still working on the old system. In the model above is shown what activities need to be executed (in the grey box) by the system controller, to get the outcomes that lead to the released parts. If the release of the parts failed, the management need to determine new changes again (See Adoption; Prepare an organization for adoption).
Train the organization in using the system
If the release of the separate parts succeeded, the next step can be taken: prepare the users. To be able to introduce the whole new system, i.e. to adopt it, all users need to be trained in working with the new system. Without huge consequences for the production level of an organization, training everyone is only possible, if there is a buffer of experienced staff, who can take over the daily work of the users that need to be trained. This means that for all the people that need to be trained, there will be staff available who can take over the work, so there won't be an enormous delay of work. When this buffer is created, the users can be trained .[1] The human resources department will create the buffer of experienced staff (activity in the grey box) by inviting applicants for the buffer. After this the users can be trained and the trained users can be listed, so a user preparation report can be written.
But training the future users properly is not as easy as it seems, as the FoxMeyer case illustrates (Scott, Vessey, 2000). This company used the big bang method to implement an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. Wrong trainings were given, the assumption was made that users already knew enough about it and wrong skills were taught . Also the company Dow Corning had big problems with acquiring the necessary skills during their big bang ERP implementation (Scott, Vessey, 2000). Using a new system demands various skills and knowledge, which in several cases seem to be underrated by the (change) managers.
There are several techniques to implement a new system. The adoption phase is only one phase of the whole implementation. Regatta (Koop, Rooimans and de Theye, 2003) is for example a method which is developed to implements systems. This method, developed by Sogeti, treats a changeover as a project and focuses several stages of this project, for example the preparation phase (Regatta: preparation phase) of an adoption and on the acceptance of an implementation method (Regatta: adoption method). SAP Implementation is another technique specialized in implementing and adopting SAP AG software, which is divided into several techniques.
Because of the instant changeover, everything must be done in a fixed time schedule. This is a risky operation. The organization might not be ready yet for this, an incorrect dataset might be used, or the information system can get stuck, because of a lack of experience and start up problems. Also an incapable fall-back method can be a risk in implementing a system using the Big Bang (Koop, Rooimans and de Theye, 2003).
UK stock market, 1980s
The 1986 the London Stock Exchange closed on Friday night and the computers were all switched on the following Monday morning.[4][5] It has been alegeded that this caused large losses.[citation needed]
Dow Corning
Dow Corning formerly used systems that were focused on specific departments. The management decided that they wanted to become a truly global company, that would use only one information system: an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)-system. To adopt this new ERP-system, they used the big bang adoption type and they spent considerable time and effort reexamining its business processes. The company was prepared for the adoption and first conducted three pilot implementations, before using the new system across the global organization. Second, FoxMeyer adopted an ERP-system with ambitious warehouse automation software, using the big bang adoption to gain competitive advantage. But FoxMeyer seemed to have an overoptimistic management with unrealistic expectations, the change was too big and too drastic.This resulted in very high work pressure to meet the deadlines for all the employees. So unrealistic expectations of the management are also a risk (Scott, Vessy, 2000).
Dow Corning monitored the progress constantly and made decisions to make sure that the deadlines would be met. This was only possible with feedback and good communication. FoxMeyer failed in having communication and attention that was necessary to be able to give fast and effective feedback. They instead tried to minimize problems by ignoring them and gave discouraging criticism, which resulted in ambiguous feedback. This hindered organizational learning, something which is very important during an organizational change. So bad communication and ambiguous feedback are also risks when adopting a system with the big bang (Scott, Vessey, 2000).
Other risks are to focus only on the outcome, not on how to achieve this outcome and underrating the learning process for users. It is very hard to plan learning or knowledge, though these are necessary to be able to execute the big bang changeover.

Home team to print three copies. Away team is also to print three copies as a backup. Home team to give one match card to the Referee. After the game, the referee signs all three copies. Team officials sign all three copies. The referee keeps one copy.
League Director will refer to the match card to verify if a player was checked in. Please use checks to verify that the player presented a pass and the name on the pass and on the match card match.
Teams may request a copy of the match card showing who is checked in (take a picture) or referee can update the team's signed copy
Players – No pass no play.
Spring – Blue or White CYSA passes or USClub passes or AYSO passes or USYS passes. All passes must be from the same issuer (all CYSA or all AYSO or all USClub). CYSA and USYS passes can be mixed (Blue and White CYSA passes can be mixed) Checking passes is transparent. i.e. teams can see the passes of the other team.
Referees do not have to determine if a player is legal beyond confirming that they have a pass and the photo matches the pass and that they are not too old to play with the age group. Questions as to whether a player is the correct playing level or not or if they can play with a particular pass can be referred to the league director. Encourage teams to take a photo of the roster with the players checked in and forward to League Director (email@example.com) with the question.
Names of Players and Adults currently serving suspensions for misconduct or concussion protocol will be red lined on the match card. Red lined players or adults may have a valid pass, but may not participate in the match.
7v7 Matches — Maximum Game Day Roster is 14
9v9 Matches & 11v11 Matches — Maximum Game Day Roster is 18
*Guest players can be handwritten on the roster, but they must be clearly identified as guests on the match card.
At least one adult must have a pass. Only adults with passes on the team side. Maximum of 5 adults including at half time.
Do NOT retain the pass. Complete online report at:
Player injury? One team no-shows? Abandon the match? Terminate the match? Call the Police? See signs of a concussion?
Complete the League Incident Report (also on the referee's procedures page) and tell your Assignor.
Players that sustain any kind of head impact or injury are to be asked to leave the field. Do not allow the player to return if you detect any symptom of a concussion. You may confiscate the player pass of a player and deliver that pass to a league or club official. The CCSL Game Day Instructions state, "The actions of the referee are not intended to indicate any type of medical diagnosis, they are simply being asked to use their judgment regarding a possible concussion for the safety of the player. If a referee does not ask that a player is removed from the match, the coach is still responsible for protecting the safety of the player and following the Cal North Concussion Procedure and Protocol."
If you fill out an Incident Report, the League Director will also follow up.
Hydration breaks are permitted in hot weather.
Spring: Goal differential of greater than 7 in all brackets will cause loss of a point in the standings. Not something you need to manage, but good to know.
In U13 matches and younger, the deliberate heading of the ball is to be whistled. Award an IFK for the opponents. In 7v7 matches where there is no goal area, IFK awarded to the attackers within the penalty area are to be taken from the penalty area line parallel to the goal line closest to the point of the infraction.
9v9 & 11v11 – Deliberate heading in the penalty area and the goal area – the resulting IFK follows the restart laws outlined in Law 13 (position of the ball, the position of defenders)
Players that are 12 years old and younger are not permitted to head the ball. If such a player is "playing up" say on a U14 team they are still not permitted to head the ball, but referees are not expected to know which players are 12 and which players are 13 years old.
U13 teams with both 12-year-old and 13-year-old players – none of the players will be permitted to head the ball.

- A goal kick from penalty area.- opponents 8 yds away.
- Goal kicks and thrown or punted balls by the goalkeeper must touch a player or ground before crossing the halfway line. The infraction is an IFK for the opponents at the halfway line.
- The intent of this rule is that the ball out of the goalie's hands in any way must touch the ground or player. Some coaches are trying to "get around" this with half and full volley kicks. This is not the intent of the rule. This will be conveyed to coaches in 7v7.
- A goal cannot be scored directly from a kick-off. Restart with a Goal Kick
- No slide tackling. This is a specific Coast/Bay rule and is not found in the general rules. Award an IFK to the opponents.

Per CYSA Cal North regulations, all jewelry must be removed before each game. The full text is available here: http://calnorth.org/pims/
As a league, we consider newly pierced ears as having "non-removable jewelry," and adhere to the CYSA protocol for allowing permanently attached jewelry.
If you choose to complete, sign, and submit a "Liability Release and Waiver for Jewelry or Items Permanently Attached," you are acknowledging that you are willing to accept the associated risks.
All parents who want their player to play with earrings will need to submit the form to the referee and have the player tape their earrings. The spirit of this allowance is only for newly-pierced earrings (within 6 weeks of piercing).
Please download the waiver from CYSA's website.
Please be aware that the game official always makes the final decision as to whether or not a participant is safe to play, and therefore has the discretion to reject the jewelry waiver.

text: Anal Glands are a glandular sac located on each side of the anus. Groomers perform an external gland expulsion whereas veterinarians perform both external and internal expulsions. If these glands are not expressed your pet can develop impacted anal glands or infection. These must be expressed regularly. A pet can signal anal gland problems by scooting their bottoms across the floor, excessive licking and biting the tail area and circling. If you suspect problems with your pets anal glands see your veterinarian.
