I was browsing around online for self-injury awareness ribbon designs, and literally stumbled across an artist on Deviant Art that blew my mind. I was very inspired by her designs, and I think that they speak for themselves. As you know, I am constantly saying that it's so important to spread awareness, one of my main messages is to be aware, and spread awareness to others; because it's the only way we can break the stigma around self injury and mental illness. The artist is right, awareness IS contagious, and as long as we keep spreading it (in any small way that we can, from talking about it, making videos, blogging about it, wearing awareness jewelry, or creating artwork) then eventually, it will catch on. It's so important!
I hope you enjoy this artwork as much as I did, and I hope it inspires you too!

Management by Walking Around "Jim's gone MBWA"
if you look closely, you'll see Jim, our great leader, sticking out his tongue
Jim, our beloved city manager unexpectedly passed away last fall. Jim was a hero to all of us here at the city, his passing has left us with heavy hearts.
This is a project I have been working on for the last 5-6 months. As hard as it has been, as busy as I have been, I am still glad that I took it on. It's the least I could do in remembrance of this great man.
It took a mass appeal for any and all photos that anyone may have taken in the last decade, of a very reluctant subject no less, before we managed to gather a fair collection. In no way am I aiming to scrapbook every photo, but there were are some gems.

The Architecture of Mykonos
The Cyclades complex in the middle of the Aegean Sea is a cluster of islands with its own, distinctive character, evident in the islands' architecture and their habitants' exuberant way of living. Mykonos is probably one of the most widely known islands of the Cyclades, and it proudly showcases this archetypal architecture in every nook and corner.
The most profound characteristics of the architecture of Mykonos are the cubic, whitewashed houses with the thick brick walls, constructed so to keep them cool in the summer and protected by the fierce winds in the winter. At a first glance they might seem plain, but once you get to take in the contrasting blue details, the minimalistic grandeur of their design and the beauty of their simplicity that connects the sea and the rock, you will fall in love.
When in the Chora of Mykonos, there are a few architectural landmarks that will instantly catch your eye; the most iconic one is the windmills, overlooking the old port. These simple and practical constructions have become the symbol of the island, and probably the most photographed spot on it for their pure beauty, a link between the past and the present of Mykonos. On the cove behind the mills, the aristocratic district of the 18th century with the mansions built on the water rightfully goes by the name of "Little Venice" and is the perfect setting for viewing the sunset the "Mykonos way".
On the beach of Ftelia, the Ftelia Bay Boutique Hotel was designed inspired by the architecture of Mykonos; simple lines and shapes, the dominant white and natural materials like stone and wood that unite man and nature in harmony and balance. The Ftelia Bay Hotel's new or newly renovated rooms, suites and maisonettes offer modern accommodation in a space that praises the beauty and architectural uniqueness of Mykonos, along with amiable hospitality and professional services. Admire the island's exemplary architecture and indulge in an unforgettable holiday experience in the comfort of the Ftelia Bay Boutique Hotel, in Mykonos. For more: http://goo.gl/35bxI9

HFF closes $31.2 million sale of Sheraton Orlando North Hotel
ORLANDO, FL – June 26, 2017 – Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced today that it has closed the $31.2 million sale of the Sheraton Orlando North Hotel, a 389-room, full-service hotel in the Orlando-area community of Maitland, Florida.
HFF marketed the property on behalf of the seller, a partnership between Värde Partners, Interstate Hotels Corporation and Waramaug Hospitality Asset Management. Cambridge Landmark purchased the asset free and clear of debt and unencumbered of management. HFF was involved in a previous financing of this property in 2015 as part of a $110 million portfolio financing on seven full-service hotel assets in five states.
Located at 600 North Lake Destiny Road, the Sheraton Orlando North Hotel is at the intersection of Interstate 4 and Maitland Boulevard 3.1 miles from Winter Park and 8.3 miles from downtown Orlando. The hotel is in the Maitland submarket proximate to 7.4 million square feet of office space and situated in the 226-acre Maitland Center Office Park, which is home to more than 400 businesses, including Worldwide Brands, Fidelity, FedEx and Charles Schwab. The hotel features more than 15,000 square feet of meeting space; an outdoor pool with hot tub and resort-style water feature; fitness center; business center; on-site car rental services; Sheraton Club Lounge and several food and beverage outlets, An Tobar Irish pub-style restaurant Grande Café in the atrium lobby, Celestial Lounge and Link @ Sheraton Café. The new owners will invest $4 million to upgrade the rooms and common areas of the property.
The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by senior managing director Michael Weinberg and associate director Preston Reid.
"Orlando's low supply growth over the past seven or eight years combined with unparalleled demand for room nights, including the 68 million visitors in 2016, have led to strong financial performance for most assets in our market," Weinberg said. "Like in this transaction, a number of the groups we have sold assets to or raised equity capital from over the past few years in Central Florida have been from oversees sources. I see this trend continuing to grow due to the global awareness and connectivity of Orlando."
HFF's Hotel Team continues to be extremely active throughout the state of Florida, having closed 52 hotel-related transactions in the last 24 months, including Naples Grande Beach Resort, Sheraton Sand Key Resort, Sheraton Tampa Riverwalk Hotel, Hilton Key Largo and, locally in Central Florida, Embassy Suites Downtown Orlando, Hampton Inn Daytona Beach/Beachfront, Courtyard Lake Buena Vista and Holiday Inn Orlando SW – Celebration Area.

The historic Homecoming Day of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was observed on Wednesday.
On January 10 in 1972, Bangabandhu returned to independent and sovereign Bangladesh after over nine and half months of captivity in a Pakistan jail.
Bangabandhu was subjected to inhuman torture in the Pakistan jail where he had been counting moments for the execution of his death sentence that was pronounced in a farcical trial.
The great leader not only was the inspiration of the freedom fighters but also for the whole Bangalee nation.
Under his undaunted leadership, the Bangalee nation earned the ultimate victory through the nine-month war. The defeated Pakistani rulers were finally compelled to release Bangabandhu from jail. The victory of the Bangalees attained its fulfillment with his release.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina paid rich tributes to Bangabandhu on the occasion by placing wreaths at the portrait of the Father of the Nation in front of Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi.
Cabinet members, including Industries Minister Amir Hossain Amu, Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed, Agriculture Minister Begum Matia Chowdhury, Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader and Shipping Minister Shajahan Khan, were also present.
Ruling Awami League, its associate and front organisations and various socio-political organisations arranged elaborate programmes, including hoisting the national and party flags, atop all AL offices at dawn.
The ruling party organised a discussion at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in the city on the occasion where Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina spoke as the chief guest.

For many years executions have been accomplished by lethal injection, abandoning the gruesome and traumatizing past of mandatory electric chair induced deaths. Though, with lethal injection drugs experiencing complications and shortages, states are considering other methods of killing death-row inmates. Firing squads have been contemplated, and Tennessee is reinstating its use of the controversial chair of years prior. Due to shortage of lethal drugs and an unsure death-row future, the electric chair may just be making a comeback.
The last death-row inmate to die from chair electrocution in Tennessee, surprisingly by request, was Daryl Holton in 2007. Many deemed the man insane because he had chosen this painful death and shot all four of his children- the reason he was in the predicament to begin with. To choose death by chair does seem irrational for many reasons. The electric chair has been sparsely used years prior to the 2007 execution, specifically 47 years prior to Holton, due to ample technical failures and overall negative sentiment of the gory bodily remains.
Death by electric chair was developed in America, with the first execution in 1890. Up until the 1980's electric chair executions were the most popular death sentence for death-row inmates. Today, eight states still give inmates the choice of death by chair but none require the sentence, until now. Tennessee is making death by electric chair mandatory in the event that lethal injection drugs are short, possibly paving the way for other states to adopt the murder method and fueling the chairs' comeback. Governor Bill Haslam of Tennessee signed the proposal into law, which has outraged many people who are concerned that requiring electrocution is cruel and unusual punishment, violating Eighth Amendment rights of inmates.
Lethal injections are commonly a cocktail of drugs which are too often incapable of quickly and painlessly killing death-row inmates. There have been numerous incidents when inmates injected with the drugs took longer than normal to die, some writhing in acute pain for forty-five minutes before succumbing to the dose. Different cocktails have been concocted in an effort to find a quickly lethal mix. A main ingredient in many lethal injection cocktails- sodium thiopental- was discontinued in 2009, which is why officials have basically experimented with other lethal drug combinations. Just this month experts have urged prison officials to rely on a single drug for executions, rather than a cocktail which produces unknown results.
The availability of one single, legal and lethal drug is currently undetermined. Because of this unknown, Tennessee's reinstated, mandatory use of the electric chair for death-row inmates may be exercised soon. A national expert on capital punishment, Deborah W. Denno, is concerned about the predetermined failures of the electric chair. According to Denno and the timeline of execution methods, use of the electric chair is a regression. The electric chair was replaced with lethal gas, later followed by lethal injection, because the chair would yield extremely unfavorable results. The chair, when performed correctly, renders its victim immediately unconscious, killing them with a jolt. However, this desired outcome was not always reached, causing the victim to remain alive while their body is thrashed like a rag doll.
Death by electric chair is a very controversial topic. Its use is archaic and requiring its method may indeed violate inmates' Eighth Amendment rights. Despite these issues Tennessee has officially reinstated its use of the electric chair, which may encourage this method to make a comeback.

A new directory highlighting dozens of venues across Hartlepool for community groups is available.
Hartlepool Community Network has compiled the list of buildings that can be hired by voluntary groups and clubs.
The directory features venues that can be booked by organisations such as sports clubs, theatre groups and residents' associations. It includes contact details, size of rooms as well as the cost of hiring facilities on an hourly rate.
Paul Hyde, who helped to compile the directory, said: "There are hundreds of voluntary and community groups across Hartlepool but we found that often people did not know where to go if they wanted to hold a meeting or an event.
"This directory lists more than 30 facilities offering everything from small meeting rooms to conference facilities and even community gyms.
"It's the first time such a directory has been produced."
* The directory of community venues can be found on the Hartlepool Community Network's website at www.hvda.org.uk/commnet

text: A leader is anindividual who is in a position of superiority as compared to the others. There are certain traits which differentiate a good leader from an ordinary one. A good leader will never ask or demand respect from subordinates. He or she will earn it. A good leader leads by example and can inspire an entire crowd and generate enthusiasm in the most difficult of situations. Commitment, confidence, vision and a positive attitude are some of the other essentials. And then you have certain specific leadership traits depending on the field under consideration. For example, a good leader in the corporate world should be effective in delegating tasks. Likewise, a good political leader should have a clear plan about how the prevalent issues can be most effectively tackled and prioritize accordingly.

The itinerary includes consultations with Murad, a Murad signature treatment and products to take home, but also sessions with a fitness expert and health practitioner, lectures, yoga, cooking class, art class and hiking. It's all in keeping with his belief that to slow or potentially reverse aspects of the aging process requires a holistic approach. "One of my favorite sayings is, 'I don't have any acne patients I have patients who have acne.' So treating the patient first is actually more critical than treating the disease because everything is connected," Murad says. He tries to determine what's causing the acne, whether it could be stress, medication, hormones, a genetic predisposition or all combined. At the retreat, guests will learn about proper nutrition to make cell membranes stronger.

Missing community sculpture found
RICHMOND, Vt. (AP) — Police in Vermont say a community sculpture that was stolen on New Year's Eve has been found.
The 13-foot metal sculpture that had sat at an intersection in Richmond was taken after 11 p.m. on New Year's Eve. Creators Tim Clark and Baptiste LeFrancois had installed it on Dec. 18.
Clark told the Times Argus that the sculpture, which features three red cubes, was created to advertise the pair's sculpting business and add some art to the community. He says the community had welcomed the art donation.
Clark said he believes the sculpture was taken to sell it at a scrapyard or as a prank.
Police say the piece was dropped off in the area Wednesday morning. Police are trying to determine who took it.

Make sure to install the "Server Behaviors and Database" add on from the Adobe plugin store. It is free but is no longer included by default.
Thanks Ray - will try this
Thanks - Added detracted server behaviour from adobe.
does the data bridge use the new mysqli in its outputs/functions?
If you can't the coding produce by ecart and data bridge will this be at risk in the future?
DataBridge does not currently produce MySQLi code. In the future we will be updating DataBridge to produce MySQLi. Ecart will currently work with MySQLi if you were to purchase and use the MySQLi Server Behaviors.
Hi Ray
Does this mean that I should avoid using data assist for now and use MySQL instead. As I am a novice at this will the MySQL be enough. Also I wanted to build admin and for my store would I still be able to use data assist for the generated pages or would you advise not to use.
Other questions:
1. What would happen if I continued to build using data assist - would the pages be at risk of crashing sometime in near future
2. If I get the mysqli would I have to build store pages again
3. When I have MySQL could I use this in conjunction with data assist produced pages would there be conflicts
1) It would not crash any time in the near future. You would have to refrain from upgrading to php 7 any time soon, but realistically all major hosting providers will support php 6 for the next decade.
2) You wouldn't have to do anything. You could if you wanted to.
3) Both MySQL and MySQLi pages and code can coexist on the same site or even same page without issues.

Maluku Islands
The Maluku Islands or the Moluccas islands were also historically known as the Spice Islands by the Chinese and the Europeans, (also been applied to other islands outside Indonesia). They have been known as the Spice Islands due to the nutmeg, mace and cloves that were originally found only there, in the 16th century.
There are 1027 Maluku Islands that have a total area of 850,000 km2, 90% of which is sea. The largest two islands, Halmahera and Seram are sparsely populated, while the most developed, Ambon and Ternate are small. The majority of the islands are forested and mountainous. The Tanimbar Islands are dry and hilly, while the Aru Islands are flat and swampy. Mount Binaya (3027 m) on Seram is the highest mountain. A number of islands, such as Ternate (1721 m) and the TNS islands, are volcanoes emerging from the sea with villages sited around their coasts. There have been over 70 serious volcanic eruptions in the last 500 years and earthquakes are common.
The Maluku Islands have been occupied by different countries since the 1400's for spice trade and different faiths, started , by the Arabic, bringing Islam, then the Portuguese and the Spanish bringing missionaries promoting Christian faiths. The British came and smuggled the spice seeds to be planted in Malaysia and Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Soon Maluku did not become the center of spices because one could find them elsewhere. The Japanese took control of the Maluku Island during WW2. Religious conflict erupted across the islands in January 1999. The subsequent 18 months were characterized by fighting between largely local groups of Muslims and Christians, the destruction of thousands of houses, the displacement of approximately 500,000 people, the loss of thousands of lives, and the segregation of Muslims and Christians. It was during this time now that the Indonesians fought for independence and the Maluku Islands finally formed a single province since Indonesian independence until 1999, when it was split into two provinces, North Maluku is predominantly Muslim and North Maluku Province the area, between Morotai and Sula, with the arc of islands from Buru and Seram to Wetar , Ternate, Tidore, Bacan, Halmahera and the Obi Islands, these are predominantly Muslim with the capital city of North Maluku is Sofifi. The Maluku Province has the remaining islands and these are dominated by Christians and having their capital is Ambon.
North Maluku
North Maluku is a tropical paradise located in the eastern Indonesia. It consists of many small and big islands, approximately 353 of them, which spread out surrounding the ocean. Moreover, not all of the islands in north Maluku are inhabited. One example of the uninhabited is Dodola Island. This island serves as an example of magnificent tropical beach. White sand with approximately 16 km of length surrounds it and the water is clear. In this island, visitors can do allot of exciting activities, such as swimming, sunbathing and diving. Beside Dodola Island, Maitara Island also offers a fantastic sea life. This island is located in the middle of Tidore and Ternate Islands.
Ternate can be reached by Domestic flights from Jakarta via Makassar or direct flight from Makassar and Manado. Furthermore, the European people actually have already known North Maluku since long time ago. North Maluku is dominated by Muslim, and for those who are interested in fantastic buildings might want to take a look at Sultan's Mosque. Multi-tiered pyramid form, this mosque is located on the south of palace in Ternate..
Maluku is blessed with incredible sea gardens, idyllic, tropical beaches and rugged, forest-coated volcanic mountains.. The British briefly occupied Maluku during the Napoleonic Wars, but Dutch rule was restored in 1814 and it wasn't until 1863 that the compulsory cultivation of spices was abolished in the province. Now fish and other sea products are Maluku's major sources of revenue, but nickel, oil, manganese and various kinds of timber also contribute to the province's wealth. Perhaps the name is derived from the Arabian Jazirat-al-Muluk, meaning The Land of Many Kings. The kings were wealthy from spices, especially clove. Clove and spices were very expensive due to their ability to preserve food, in the era that knew no freezers and fridges. Spices were also used as medicine back then. The main gateway into Maluku is through the provincial capital Ambon, which is served by regular flights to most parts of the archipelago. Air and sea transportation connect the islands with 79 seaports and 25 airports. Roads on many of the islands provide access to the more remote places of interest.
Due to its history, the people here are very mixed. Malay, Indian, Arab, Chinese, Portuguese, Bugis, Javanese are found anywhere. Tribal communities of Uaulu choose not to garb themselves in traditional outfits. Uaulu men can be distinguished with red headscarves that they wear. And as for their head hunting habit? It all belongs to folklore and legend.
The Cuisine in the Northern Islands since it's dominated by Muslim people, you can find plenty halal food here. Sea food dishes are also abundant. Various rice and fish dishes should be sampled. You might want to order cool drinks as well because the weather can be hot.
Cuisine in Maluku; there are numerous dishes of sea food can be found here. Try grilled or baked fish and enjoy the spectacular view that several eateries provide. Nasi-ikan (rice and fish meal) is also worth a try. For those interested in concocting their own dishes, you can buy the fresh ingredients in nearby supermarkets and mini markets.

Some of you can remember back in the day when you were the first person to take off your shirt at the pool or walk around proudly in your 2-piece bikini. You had four solid abs staring at everyone. Some of you probably even had the heralded six. Or maybe, they weren't exactly protruding, but your stomach was flat, or at least it was something you weren't insecure about showing off.
Then life happened, age happened, lots of non exercising happened, your job happened, kids happened, binge show watching on Netflix happened, and Wala! Those little squares on the front of your body disappeared.
Now you say things like, "I used to have a six pack." Or, "Underneath this keg used to be a six pack." Or now you're just accepting of it, talking about how the Dad bod is totally in these days.
But when it comes down to it, having at least a flat stomach is an important goal to people. You may be able to get that six pack back, but this is what it's going to take:
To have anything close to a six pack males are going to have to be sitting around 10% body fat and females are going to have to be under 20%. You're going to have to probably skip out on social situations or be the weird one or the one who everyone thinks is pregnant because you're not drinking.
John Berardi, owner of Precision Nutrition recommends the following to get a healthiest six pack possible (healthy meaning, not starving yourself to death). You have to commit to these things at least 95% of the time:
1. Eat protein and veggies at every meal
2. Include a healthy fat at each meal
3. Eat a small amount of carbs, post workout ONLY
4. Limit carbs at all other meals
5. Exercise INTENSELY 4-5 days per week
6. Get 8 hours of sleep each night.
So it is possible. You just need to ask yourself if you have that level of commitment to make it happen.

Twenty judges have so far been dismissed, while investigations are ongoing in the cases involving the rest, in what has come to be known as the biggest bribery scandal to hit the Judicial Service.
Justice Dery is currently challenging the capacity of Anas's investigative agency, Tiger Eye PI, and the Supreme Court will, on October 27, 2016, give its judgement.
"By the GJA Award, are you not prejudicing the outcome of the case before the courts, especially the Supreme Court? Is it not contempt pendent lite?" Justice Dery queried.
The Issue
Justice Dery's issue with the GJA is that the association should not have rewarded Anas as the Journalist of the Year when the suit challenging Tiger Eye PI's capacity is still pending.
A petition dated August 30, 2016, signed by Justice Dery and addressed to the President, executives and regional presidents of the GJA, accuses the GJA of rewarding lawlessness.
According to Justice Dery, Anas exhibited lawlessness when he published the contents of investigations into corruption in the Judiciary and attempted to do it again in Kumasi until he was stopped by a court order.
He cited decided cases in his bid to prove a point that, under the law, it was unlawful to publicise the contents of a petition that was to be heard in camera.
Citing a recently delivered judgement, Justice Dery said: "By this judgement, Anas and his so-called company have been declared by the Supreme Court to have violated the Constitution by this so-called exposé of corruption in the Judiciary by the publications referred to herein."
Describing Anas as a "non-law abiding citizen", he said: "I wonder what the worth or value of the award is. Is the GJA rewarding lawlessness? Is it a sign for other journalists to breach the supreme law of the land with such careless or reckless abandon in order to be rewarded by the GJA?"
Free press
Justice Dery noted that free press was a creature of the 1992 Constitution, just like the Judiciary.
"Thus our constitutional jurisprudence abhors blatant breaches of the 1992 Constitution and anybody found to have breached any provision of the Constitution cannot be blessed with such awards like the one the GJA conferred on Anas.
"The award the GJA honoured Anas with has the propensity of sending wrong signals to other journalists, especially young and upcoming ones, that blatant violation of our constitutional order pays. You acquire fame and wealth by violating the constitutional order. That is what the GJA award to Anas on August 27, 2016 signifies.
"The Constitution of Ghana is the Supreme law of Ghana. So one wonders why a person like Anas, who intentionally violated the Supreme law of the Republic of Ghana, qualifies for the award the GJA gave to him for the very conduct that the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional. Is it that the GJA's best award is given to law breakers? Or the award was given to spite the Supreme Court?" he continued.
"I am not on suspension"
"I am, therefore, by this letter drawing your attention to the consequences of the award the GJA gave to Anas, while I give you and your association the opportunity to rectify a blatant wrong that has been inflicted on the whole of the Ghanaian public by the conferment of the said award.
"Your response to my letter will determine my next line of action, since I am determined to use all lawful and legal means at my disposal to ensure that the provisions of the 1992 Constitution are upheld and complied with by all persons.
"I would conclude these sentiments of mine by correcting the misinformation going around in both the print and the electronic media that I am on suspension arising out of the Tiger Eye PI petition.
"I am not on suspension. No prima facie case has been made against me to warrant my suspension. I am on administrative leave, which I applied for to enable me to use the legal process to clear my name and reputation which Anas has sought to tarnish," Justice Dery added.

It's quite tricky to decide on what to wear for a winter wedding. We normally prioritize style over comfort but for colder season, I think it's best when we focus on what will keep us warm. Luckily, we were blessed with a good weather when I attended my cousin's wedding in Lake Louise.
I wore a dress I bought at Fairweather, West Edmonton Mall. I was so happy buying the said dress because it was originally $230! It went down to $150 and went down again to $32 (tax already included) What a sweet deal it was! Usually, a dress paired with high heels is ideal but since its winter and I want to be at ease in walking, I paired it with boots. Still girly but more comfortable. The fur coat matched the outfit but you can also wear a leather jacket if you want an edgy look. If the cold isn't that bearable, tights is also an option.
Dress- Fairweather
Fur coat- Sequence
Tights- Urban Planet
Boots- Forever 21
What do you think about the outfit? Let me know your thoughts by commenting on the section below 🙂

Since 1986, Johnson County Community College (JCCC) (Kansas) has conducted user evaluations of student/auxiliary services every other year. This document presents the results for the spring 2001 survey. In total, 585 surveys were returned from students in the sample of classes selected to generally represent career/transfer, day/evening, and freshman/sophomore classes at the college. Major findings include: (1) 83% rated JCCC as excellent or good; (2) the most frequently used student/auxiliary service was the library, used at least 3 times in the past year by about 60% of respondents; (3) 86% of respondents deemed the Children's Center unnecessary, while 10% of those who used the center said it was too crowded; (4) generally, the 13 services were rated favorably; (5) fewer than 10% of users of a service cited a major weakness for that service-exceptions included waiting in line at Admissions/Records, the bookstore, Counseling Services, the dining rooms, and Financial Aid; (6) 20% of bookstore users said it was too expensive; (7) registration via the Internet was the choice of approximately two-thirds of respondents; and (8) overall evaluations were similar for 2001 and 1998. The document includes a profile of respondents, details about the evaluation, and comparisons with 1998 results. Tabled survey results and the questionnaire are appended. (Contains 12 figures.) (EMH)

One characteristic that some people struggle with is Motivation. Motivation is the reason or reasons that one has for acting or behaving in a particular way. If we look at the letters that spell the word Motivation we will have Momentum, Occasions, Thrills, Inspirations, Vitality, Ambition, Trepidation, Incentive, Outlook and Necessity.
These word are all reasons that can Motivate all of us in some way or another. Motivation is an important component when setting and attaining our goals for our life. We all have the abilities that influence our own levels of motivation including self control in stressful situations. Motivation is the difference of waking up before noon and sitting around in our pajamas all day or making something happen in, and to our life's.
What will it take to start being who and what you want to be in the present and your future?
Are you having second thoughts about blogging? Are you stuck in a rut? Not getting the audience you want? Not Motivated any longer?
Go back, try to remember why you wanted to start blogging in the first place? Bloggers need to keep that want, or need, to blog in perspective. Do you ever have the thought of, "what can I blog about that anyone has not already done". That does not matter, people that blog, do it for themselves mostly, it is their passion. Sure.. you need to create what you feel Readers out there want, and you also need to create a pile of information of what your researched topic is about. My topics come to me in many different ways, and times of the day. I can be doing the dishes, laundry, sitting atop my bumble bee looking riding lawnmower. But most times it is when I go to bed, and lay there thinking, thinking and more thinking.
Come on this isn't you sometimes? Tell me what you think about? Share in a comment below.
This is when your Motivation kicks in to plan your strategy of attack. Compile a list of topics that you want to cover, and gather that pile of information you will need from the very basic to real pertinent. If you keep on top of your strategies, and topics you will begin to move on from a beginner to average then finally reaching the top of your blogging skills-a Bloginator. Your Readers will be begging for more.
Now to compile your plan of attack you will need a terrific planner, and have I got one for you! The Happy Planner
From Amazon of course! Just click on the image to take you to Amazon, and order yours today! It was cheaper then other places I looked, and I ordered my mother-in-laws Mother's Day gift too. Hey I was there-two birds with one stone. I love the bright colors, and has everything I need to plan my days. I also looked into more printables for my Happy Planner and downloaded some more Take A Look Here
Now I understand that everyone plans differently, and when I thought of getting this I asked myself will I be Motivated to even write in it? But believe it or not, it makes my day much more easier to handle. I have everything in this! I sit down Sunday night, and go over what I have planned for the coming week. Before I purchased this it was all about post-its everywhere in our home, hoping none of them will lose their stickyness (I know auto correct that is not word). But now this is my go-to for me. It is not real big, so I can take it with me when I am on-the-go.
I have my families schedule in this also, you know doctors/dentists appointments. I even keep information in here when my Ferrier will be coming to shod (shoe) my horses. My husband has some days off during the week, so if he has somewhere for us to go together, I add this in there also. I keep my planner the same for each week, that way, I am not lost when I go to view it. I know where every event is by Motivating myself to do this, and I am more organized.
So what I do, and I know that you may do it differently, but I keep the section on the side of the first of the month for my things to do for the month. I write down every ones birthday or anniversaries for that month (do not want to forget a birthday, anniversary or anything). My Goals that I want to reach before the end of the month, and important dates such as doctor/dentists appointments, school functions, anywhere I need to be at, like I mentioned above.
It also has a section to list topics that you wish to read, need to plan, what you are pinning, want to craft, what you're loving that month, and so much more.
It even has a place for what you are cooking. Great huh? I like to write what meals my family enjoyed so I can prepare them again. I sometimes use the grocery app that is available so I posted a URL so you can decide which one is best for you. Click Here they have a variety to choose from.
The next section is where I jot down the appointments that I mentioned above, I can turn to that month and see my entire month at a glance. This way I do not have to go to my first page where I put important dates- depending on my month I may not have enough room for everything!!! Yep my life can be that hectic at times.
The next section is for me…this is where I plan for my ideas on my blogs, or what I want to add to my Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and Instagram. The boxes for each day gives you more room to do so. I jot down ideas of what stock photos I would like to have on my post, so I look them up on Pixabay.com or Canva.com I just enjoy looking at the photos on these websites too! I go save image crazy!
I know right, I could just smell them!
If you have a busy life whether it be a family, job or a business or all three,
this planner
will keep you organized, it's the way to go. Just click on the image to take you to Amazon, and order yours today! If you like to keep the events that happen all year long then get Motivated, and order one. Then drop me a line and let me know how you like it. Also here are the Free Printables for the Happy Planner again.
Make this year your Motivational One!

Who are we? This fundamental question has been instinctually investigated by humans at every level. As we are born, we explore our physical being by looking at ourselves and others. This human nature of curiosity began investigating living organisms and their physical properties. By taking the investigation of the human body one step further, we began dissecting and evaluating corpses where we discovered the various parts of the human body and its functionality. And we further investigated the aspects of human existence that can not be seen, the intellect and mind. This investigation of life has led to the advent of modern day science.
As we further investigate human existence, especially our own, we begin to look inwards, at our emotions and thoughts. This is explored in the Upanishads, an exploration and understanding of the human being based on what one experiences through feeling, rather than seeing. The path adapted is an inward journey which cannot be explored without the help of external sensory but the inward journey is deeper than pure sense perception. This inward journey is referred to as "Tapas" in the Sanskrit language of the Upanishads.
The introduction to this inward journey is explored indirectly when the student actually approaches the teacher and asks, " What is the origin of all creation?" The teacher understands that this question is actually asking, what is that from which the universe or creation comes and into which the universe dissolves itself? In order to answer the question, the teacher turns to the student and tells him to look inward and find out what he is and what his original nature is.
Immediately, the student is perplexed, how does his teacher's instruction to look withinfor the answer correlate to what the student is asking, what the essential building block of creation is. These seem totally unrelated. Adi Shankaracharya correlates the question and answer with two points:
1. An individual is also part of creation and thus, there is no way he can isolate or separate him/herself from creation. Therefore, turning inwards for investigation is just investigating the deepest part of creation one can know.
2. When one investigates outside one's self, the sense which facilitate your investigations, also become your limitations. One cannot know anything which is subtler than one's senses. They are limited to what is touched, seen, smelt, or heard, and nothing beyond. One's experience is deeper, it includes fear, courage, hate, love, and etc which are all beyond sense perception. This sense perception is also often influenced by what is felt, and thus dually distorted
Hence, the Upanishad has given a totally different turn to the whole area of investigation, and has given birth to the knowledge of what is our essential being. The student, or investigator, shows us five layers of existence, called "Panca Kosa." These five layers of existence are within us in common man's experience, not outside. It is apparent for all, not only those who go into an altered state of consciousness. As the student further investigates the answer to his question, the five sheaths become apparent.
The Upanishads briefly state the ideas of this investigation, and thus it is the duty of the commentator to give the connecting explanation at each step of the investigation. Many commentators have given their explanations and although the details may vary, the final position and meaning of the Upanishads remains the same.

social media,
We have social media to thank for keeping us in touch with old (and new) friends. We can also thank social media for a score of explicit and mindless material added to our daily lives. Fortunately, we don't always have to take the good with the bad.
Apply these tips if you want to block a friend's content, yet still remain friends with them.
Twitter is great at keeping you up-to-date on your friends' lives by providing a streaming news feed; however, the tweets are neither screened nor edited.
You can do so manually by muting tweets from a friend that you follow. To do so, click the link underneath the tweet that says '… More' and select the 'Mute' option. Another option is visiting that specific user's profile page and select 'Mute' located near the 'Follow' button.
The average Facebook user has 200 friends; each of those friends will (mostly likely) post at least once a day. Not everyone wants to hear ALL of their friends' thoughts- be it annoying or explicit.
When you get a post from someone in your news feed, there is an upside down arrow in the top right corner of the post. By clicking this arrow, you will be given the option to hide all posts from that certain person or click "I don't want to see this."
This way, their posts won't show up in your news feed.
Instagram is high on the popularity list for teens, especially when it comes to selfies-many of which are not appropriate. If your child follows a friend that posts explicit images and content, the only option that Instagram provides is to block users entirely.
To block someone, go to the friend's profile and click the arrow in the upper right hand corner. By clicking on that, you will see an option to either block or report the user.
As parents it is important to remain aware of the possible dangers that children may face with seemingly harmless apps. Receive updates and notices of their social activity by using Net Nanny Social. Net Nanny Social allows parents to monitor several social networks at a time.

New figures suggest we shouldn't get too carried away by the unexpectedly strong latest labour force report.
That showed the number of people employed rising by a huge 37,700 and the jobless rate falling to 6.1 per cent.
However, the Department of Employment's latest vacancy report shows that while demand for labour is improving, job advertisements on the internet are still nearly 50 per cent below their March 2008 peak.
That indicates conditions are likely to remain relatively subdued in the near term, the department said on Wednesday.
In March, vacancies grew 1.9 per cent to be nine per cent higher over the year.
Seven of the eight occupational groups monitored by the department rose in the month, while the eighth - clerical and administrative workers - showed no change from the previous month.
Among the states, NSW has seen the strongest demand for workers over the past year, rising 15.7 per cent, while Western Australia has been the weakest with a fall of 6.5 per cent.
However, the largest extremes were between the two territories, with the ACT up 25.2 per cent in the past year and the Northern Territory down 18.6 per cent.

ICT Support For Schools and Colleges.
As the ICT has gained popularity and recognition over the years more specifically in its role in education, educational establishments like schools are becoming more and more reliant on it especially on their need for it in their systems, as well as equipment for everything to be smooth and great and for everything to always be at excellent shape when it comes to performance.
That being said, an ICT support for school that is well managed and organized is definitely very important to ensure that the performance of the network and as well as the computer equipment is always in good shape. For larger educational establishments like universities, training schools, or colleges, they usually avail of the in-house and it is great and ideal but, smaller schools as well as other smaller educational establishments with little resources can as well have their ICT support although not the in house one.
On a regular basis, the ICT support monitors the lifelines of the servers like the disk space, memory use, also the antivirus, and other important things in order to ensure that the server is functioning well and is working at its optimum performance.
The Essentials of Support – The Basics
There are a lot of different requirements that need to be fulfilled such as replacing parts, fixing unresponsive or faulty machines, uninstalling and reinstalling different software, maintaining a reliable wireless network, returning parts that are faulty which are still covered by warranty, procurement of new equipment, among other things.
Finding Ways To Keep Up With Solutions
For ICT coordinators, it may seem like the list can be daunting or even overwhelming especially if they are doing the tasks alone however, there are also solutions for that.
For many years, there are ICT companies that are offering technical support for different businesses may these businesses be small or medium ones and on top of the support they can offer to any kinds of businesses they also offer specialized ICT support for educational establishments such as schools, training schools, and universities. For that reason, any educational establishments can hire expert technical support for their ICT coordinators if the task becomes too overwhelming or daunting.
Here are the things you need to look for to find the best ICT support for schools and colleges. First is their history, second is if they can be flexible with their approach, third is if they can offer remote support so that you can quickly contact them in case of sudden emergency or concern that need immediate attention, fourth is if they are very efficient in their system of communication before their visit to your site, and fifth is if they have great reviews from their clients.
ICT technical support visit educational establishments on a regular basis and it is a very helpful and ideal thing because that way, any concerns that would occur can be given immediate attention to.

How to Veneer a Sunburst
Dazzling tabletop, step by step
Synopsis: A sunburst is one of the most dramatic ways you can use veneer to enhance a circular tabletop. The arrangement of wedge-shaped segments cut from consecutive sheets of veneer can create stunning effects, especially if you use crotch veneer or other interesting figure. Here, Mark Arnold shows how to lay out veneers for a spectacular sunburst, from drawing the first pattern, to cutting the veneer, to assembling the sunburst and adding a dramatic border.
A companion Master Class shows a more elaborate border treatment.
From Fine Woodworking #206
Veneer can replicate solid lumber, but if you use it only for that purpose, you are missing out on some dazzling design opportunities. One of the most spectacular of these is to arrange consecutive sheets around a center point. Known as a sunburst, this pattern is ideal for circular tabletops. It creates interesting concentric patterns, and the tapered shape of each segment draws the eye from the perimeter toward the center.
If you try this with solid stock it will fail, either from radial splitting caused by shrinkage or from cupping caused by expansion. I'll show you how to work with veneer to create a beautiful sunburst tabletop, from laying out the pattern to cutting and installing the segments. I'll also show how to install a simple border that frames the sunburst. But I don't stop there. For an ornate scalloped edging that will take a sunburst to another level, turn to Master Class (pp. 88-92).
Crotch veneers create stunning effects and are the traditional choice for sunbursts, but plain sliced veneers also yield interesting results. Cross-grain figure works, such as curly and fiddleback, but bird's-eye and burl tend to understate the sunburst effect. For this tabletop, I chose a blistered cherry veneer with an African satinwood border.

For many parents, its hard to save for college when the cost of tuition keeps going up.
Out of all 50 states, Arizona has one of the most increased tuition rates climbing 83.6 percent since 2008. However, Arizona recently became one of the first states in the U.S. to offer tuition insurance to reimburse parents.
AWC Scholarship student Daisy Hatcher-Taylor, "I do everything to make them proud, so their money is going to good use."
Officials say tuition insurance can help protect parent's investment in their child's future.
The AGA study found that 71 percent of parents are unaware that tuition insurance exists.
AWC Freshmen says Alec Valenzuela pays for school with financial aid and his parents help too. He said he'd be interested in looking into tuition insurance for what his parents do pay for.
Most students we spoke to use financial aid or pay out of pocket
AWC student Hector Rivera said, "I pay for my classes, my parents help me with my books. I don't get financial aid at all."

How the fbi corrupts this nation
Here is my summary and conclusion regarding how the fbi has turned USA into a bestial and criminal regime.
How the fbi corrupts this nation
fbi /MAFIA
By gsosbee, submitted on Fri, 03/25/2016 - 9:24pm
The USA is a bestial and lawless nation seeking world inhumane domination.
Posted by geral sosbee on March 25, 2016 at 9:18pm
As I have proven over the past thirty years in thousands of posts, reports and documents, the fbi and all police groups at all levels are corrupt; all engage in crimes on a regular basis and all are subservient to the fascist and murderous USA intelligence community.
Even the United States Army assisted the fbi in unlawful threats against me when I tried to report crimes by the fbi and police against my person at the campus of the University of Texas. In the community of my residence I have proven corruption and threats by intimidation by the local police department and by the elected District Attorney (DA) and his investigator, all of whom covered up and prevented me from proving that fbi operatives regularly destroy or vandalize my car and assault me at various locations. All such authorities thereby assist the fbi in their felonies.
Regarding the DA Investigator, he admits to communicating with the fbi against my interests at the direction of the DA and he also refused to allow me to report to him high crimes by fbi operatives against me and my wife.
Recently, I have also demonstrated how fear of the fbi by the general population, by congress and by the members of the judiciary turn all such officials into 'quislings' and de facto accomplices to fbi crimes. In "My Story In Detail" on line I name several citizens who decided to assist the fbi in terrorizing me on behalf of the fbi. Doctors and dentists are among the terrorists who eagerly joined in the fbi assaults on me.
Federal Magistrate Judges arm the fbi with a fraudulently obtained civil court order by which, by virtue of my articles and law suit against the fbi, these so-called judges are accomplices to fbi torture of my person and attempts on my life. Such thugs in black robes, sitting in their fortress-offices in US Courthouses and protected by homicidal and paranoid US Marshals , are criminals who are never accountable for the crimes they authorize against me and others. The fbi has been terrorizing me from the time I quit the fbi to this day; even as an attorney in El Paso, Texas, the fbi directed a Magistrate Judge there to authorize the terror campaign in retaliation for my reports of fbi high crimes (see my sworn affidavits 2007 & 2014).
Thus, I suggest that indeed the USA is a true terrorist state that is run and controlled by thugs, torturers and assassins with the full support of the citizenry en queue ( See my site at 'FBI/CIA Are Terrorists ).
After the decades long crime spree against me continuing to date by the fbi hoodlums, the fbi brazenly and insanely comes online in efforts to label me as a murderer because I defended this nation in combat. See my reports at Academia.edu.
What may one do upon discovery that the all powerful global regime which seeks to control the world and dictate the destiny of our species is intent on torturing or attempting to kill him at every turn of his life and every step he makes 24/7/365 for life.
Thank you and weep not for me ,but for mankind whom is metaphorically targeted for conversion into beasts. The lowest form of our species now violently take control of our lives and force us all to pay homage to their inhumanity by supporting their atrocities.
As W. B. Yeats accurately observed :
"The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity."
