Got discouraged?: Surrender to Love; Love to Surrender
Feb 4th, 2018 by friarpaul
Discouragement is the favorite tactic of the Devil to turn us away from God. Here's two ways to cast out that demon: Surrender to God's love, and LOVE in order to surrender.—Preached February 4, 2018 and dedicated to my sister Kelly (RIP 2/3/11).

So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ.
- Romans 10:17
Every disciple is a listener, anxious not to miss a vital word from the teacher. How we need to strive to listen better, not to allow the words to mingle with all those others that fill our days, but to treasure our prayer time where we might truly hear what he might say.
In quiet, may we truly hear his voice to us through his words that are ever new.

Changes in sea ice cover could threaten krillsSeptember 3rd, 2008 - 11:45 am ICT by IANS
Sydney, Sep 3 (IANS) Future changes in sea ice cover could threaten krills, which play a key role in the southern ocean food chain and is a source of nourishment for many whale species. The Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) measured krill populations during the annual formation and retreat of sea ice around Antarctica. These krill feed on ice algae during winter and spring, when food in the water column is scarce.
The researchers found that adult krill were just about to start boosting their maturity in preparation for summer reproduction, by utilising ice algae under ice floes as a food source, as well as phytoplankton blooms in areas where the ice had started to retreat.
During the voyage, krill larvae were also found to be on the verge of accelerating their growth rates, in preparation for summer.
Undoubtedly, the amount and timing of algae associated with sea ice, and in open water at retreating ice edges, are very important determinants for krill population dynamics.
Preliminary analysis of the data suggests that the investigation, named the Sea Ice Physics and Ecosystem eXperiment (SIPEX) was carried out at the very moment when biological activities were taking off in the survey area off East Antarctica.
SIPEX used newly developed sampling and observing systems. These included an instrumented remotely operated vehicle (ROV) equipped with a sonar, light sensors and camera system, to observe and film krill under sea ice.

I started doing my research on places within driving distance that would be sure to have snow with other activities for 2 year olds to do besides skiing. Beech mountain is what I found. They had a fun little sledding hill for 12 year olds and under, an outdoor skating rink, and some decent skiing which I wasn't concerned with. I found a nice little 1 bedroom condo with a pull out sofa and loft on VRBO and off we went this past weekend for our getaway.
This is the loft space D was obsessed with and the view off the back porch
We ended up leaving around 4 am to let D hopefully sleep some of the trip. She did pretty good! She ended up sleeping till around 7:30 am so that made the 8 hour trip much more bearable since it only seemed like 4. We arrived around 1 pm, got situated in our house, changed into our ski clothes and ran outside to play in the snow. It was a windy cold day but we had snow falling so I was not complaining. D loved making snow angels and practicing her sledding technique down the driveway.
We all took 2 hour naps that afternoon then headed to dinner at a Mexican restaurant.
The next morning we woke up and headed to the sledding hill. Of course no surprise with my fearless child, she loved sledding all by herself! Dave did one run with her and it was too slow so she chose to go solo after that. She loved it. She did have 2 wipe outs and sat up laughing after them so that was a good thing!
We headed to lunch at a hotdog joint then went to try out ice skating. Not as good there. It was hard for her to even walk on the ground with the ice skates so add in the slippery ice and it wasn't too successful. She had fun though hanging on the bar while Dave just pushed her around. (Big momma just observed and took pictures all day...I wasn't risking B coming out too early!)
After ice skating we headed back to the house to take naps and Dave couldn't help himself to not do a few runs on the slopes while we snoozed. What was supposed to be a 2 hour ski adventure turned into a 4-5 hr adventure because he got stuck on a broken ski lift for over 2 hours. Needless to say he was not happy and very cold! He came home, showered, and we headed out to a nice dinner in Banner Elk, just 5 miles away, at an Italian restaurant.
The next morning we packed up and headed home. We made stops about every 2 hours to pee or eat or run free for a few minutes and made it home in 8 hours. D watched movies the entire way like a champ. We had a lovely little weekend and I'm glad we were still able to get our snow fix even though we didn't do our usually Colorado trip. I will definitely go back in the future if it presents itself.

Two Pakistani officials go missing in Afghanistan
ISLAMABAD: Two Pakistani staffers at the Pakistan consulate in eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad were missing since June 16, said the Foreign Office on Sunday.
The incident came days after a visit by UN chief Antonio Guterres to war-torn Afghanistan.
Nafees Zakaria, the Foreign Office spokesperson, said the two diplomats, who set off for Pakistan on June 16, have gone missing in Afghanistan as there was no clue to their whereabouts since then. They were coming back home to celebrate Eidul Fitr with their loved ones, he added.
He said the Pakistani authorities have taken up the matter of their disappearance with Afghan authorities to ensure their swift and safe release, adding that the Afghan officials have also assured of their full-cooperation in that regard and have constituted three teams comprising security officials to trace the missing Pakistanis and bring those involved to book.
Zakaria said the Pakistani foreign officials are in constant touch with the relevant authorities and have requested them to take all-out efforts for their early and safe return.
The Taliban ruled Afghanistan from 1996 until they were toppled by a US-led invasion in 2001. They have battled the Kabul government and its foreign allies ever since.

I have wanted one of these since I first saw it and boy is it cool.
I found it at Simple Miniature Games in Christchurch in their half price box (though only reaslised the side propellers were missing when I got to build it. It's still cool though.
And I can't wait to see it in action!
I painted the wheel with Tin Bitz | Dwarf Bronze and a chainmail drybrucsh on the blade ends. It's a little bit rough and ready I guess so maybe I'll give it a tweak at some point but for now it's playable-withable.

New Buick Verano previewed in Shanghai
Offering a good first take at what we can expect see here sometime within the next 12 months, the redesigned 2016 Buick Verano - also known as the "Wei Lang" in China -- made its global debut at the Shanghai Auto Show. As earlier teaser images indicated, Buick's recast compact sedan has an edgier, more contemporary feel that imparts a greater degree of dynamic flair to the division's more traditional design cues. Replacing the Buick Excelle in the critically important Chinese market and presently expected to launch in the U.S. as an early 2017 model, the new Verano draws its overall inspiration from Buick's 2013 Riviera Concept vehicle while borrowing thematic elements from the Buick Avenir, a one-off luxury sedan unveiled last January in Detroit.
A sleeker look and better performance
The 2016 Verano sets off its more cleanly sculpted bodywork with a new "double sweep" beltline and a bolder version of Buick's signature waterfall grille - which is now flanked by Avenir-style wing-shaped HID headlamps. Its restyled LED rear lighting units display a similar design motif and the Shanghai car rolled onto the stand wearing 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in new low-rolling resistance tires and boasting what its maker says is a best-in-class 0.27 coefficient of drag. Although some minor details are likely to change before the next Verano appears in U.S. showrooms, the basic exterior elements will remain intact. Underpinning this next-gen Verano is a version of GM's new Delta 2 platform architecture. Also set for duty in a redesigned 2016 Chevy Cruze that's expected to surface sometime this summer, this upgraded chassis promises to endow the upcoming Verano with even better ride and handling characteristics.
Also: Class of 2016 -- New Cars Ready to Roll
While there's no word on what if any changes powertrain changes might see on our version of this new Buick 4-door, the 2016 Verano launches in China later this year with the most powerful version to date of GM's new 4-cylinder EcoTec engine family: a turbocharged/direct-injected unit that makes 166 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of peak torque. It drives the front wheels via a new 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and is projected to deliver the equivalent of 38.6 mpg, which also would be a new class benchmark.

Auckland University Law Professor, Jane Kelsey and Michael Barnett Auckland Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive join the AM show to discuss whether Labour is full of hot air about victories in TPP negotiations.
Jane Kelsey thinks Labour has been overstating their success.
"Basically it's the same deal."
There's virtually nothing that I can find that is a significant concession.
Jane Kelsey also says "Kelvin Davis is wrong" about Labour gaining a concession on limiting overseas companies ability to sue the New Zealand government.
"They've suspended a few things. The one thing they've changed in relationship to the foreign investors doesn't actually change the core problem they're trying to address."
"We need to stop looking at these agreements like notches on the belt, and look at what the actual benefits will be."
Ms Kelsey doesn't put all the blame with Labour, saying they were given a 'Poison Chalice' in the TPP agreement and are doing the best they can to spin it.
"The spin we've heard from David Parker and the Prime Minister don't match up to what is still in the text."
Michael Barnett acknowledges issues with the deal, but still thinks it will fundamentally benefit Kiwis, saying every other free trade agreement we've done hasn't actually benefitted small businesses and instead catered to the 'big boys' like Fonterra.
"I absolutely agree with signing."
Watch the full clip above.

Gale ton carries Yorkshire to safety
Yorkshire 185 and 280 for 4 dec drew with Durham 408 for 8 dec
A defiant century by Yorkshire skipper Andrew Gale carried his side to safety against County Championship leaders Durham as the rain-shortened match was shortened at Chester-le-Street.
Gale's second century of the season came off 192 balls and he was unbeaten on 101 at the close of play with Yorkshire 57 ahead on 280 for 4. But they took only two bonus points from the match, compared with Durham's maximum of eight, and slipped to next to bottom courtesy of Worcestershire's win against Hampshire.
Adam Lyth made his season's best score of 69 and the third left-hander, Gary Ballance, contributed 53 to an unbroken stand of 120. The only chance given by either of the fifth-wicket pair came with Ballance on 23, when Gordon Muchall was unable to hang on to a sharp head-high chance just to his left at first slip off Callum Thorp.
Gale was very composed in an innings which spanned almost four hours, looking solid in defence while also hitting 15 fours. Durham were not helped by the absence of Paul Collingwood who was ruled out with a groin injury picked up while making a century yesterday.
Steve Harmison also looked out of sorts in two wayward six-over spells on a pitch which had lost most of its early life. With a day and a half lost to rain, there was not enough wear in the surface for the spinners to play a big part, although Ian Blackwell did have Lyth stumped to end a stand of 95 with Gale.
When Jonny Bairstow was run out two overs later Yorkshire were 160 for four in early afternoon, still 63 adrift. But Durham were flagging by tea, when the visitors were nine runs ahead. Only eight minutes play were lost to a light shower at 11.30 and shortly after the resumption Durham took two wickets.
Lyth put on 50 for the first wicket with Joe Root, who made 28 before he fell lbw to a shooter from Graham Onions. Anthony McGrath's struggles continued when he departed for a duck, following a leg-side ball from Harmison and providing Phil Mustard with a catch.
But the only other wobble came with the loss of Lyth and Bairstow in quick succession. Lyth reached 50 off 100 balls, with six fours, by driving Blackwell through extra cover for three. But after adding five to his previous best this season of 64 he stretched forward and was smartly stumped by Mustard.
Bairstow's run out came when he played the ball to mid-wicket and set off before hesitating when Gale was committed. Dale Benkenstein whipped the ball in to beat Bairstow to the non-striker's end.

I grew up skateboarding in Bellevue, Nebraska. I rode my brothers plastic skateboard as a young kid in the single digits. When I turned 11 in 1985, I got my first fish shaped deck from a department store. It was pretty much junk. It was a Nash Nightmare with hard plastic wheels that barely rolled. It rolled so bad that my first bad injury happened on this board when after rolling down from the top of my street, the wheels grabbed onto a pebble and sent me flying through the air and onto my wrist. My first cast which went all the way up to my shoulder! So itchy! I eventually upgraded from that to a used Alva Bill Danforth deck. I remember my first brand new skateboard. It was a total DIY project. Blanks back then were concave sheets of plywood that didn't even have the holes drilled for the trucks. Talk about having to measure everything out! With help from my Dad…I traced a Hosoi Hammerhead skateboard onto this blank. Traced the truck holes. Cut the thing out with a Jigsaw, sanded it like crazy and put a clear coat of polyurethane on this bad boy. I wish I had a picture of it! It was both awesome because I made it and horrible because I didn't get the truck holes quite lined up correctly and the board wobbled! 🙂 It was mine though and I loved it!
I don't remember any other boards I had that were purchased brand new. From what I remember I always had a friend who was done with a board and I thought it still had some life in it, so either they gave it to me or sold it to me for pretty cheap. I didn't have a lot of my own money back then, plus I remember spending money on computer parts as well since I was into computers back then too. I wasn't great at skateboarding, but I loved it. I proceeded to stick with skateboarding for the next 7 years. It pretty much defined who I was throughout Junior High and High School. All my year books said "Skate or Die" somewhere in them! 🙂 Ha! For the most part it was good. It was nice to belong to something, to identify with something. One of the great things about skateboarding is that you could do it alone or with friends or with strangers. Pretty much any stranger that skateboarded became your instant friend and that was awesome.
Fast forward to 2004, I'm married and have one child and living in Williamsburg, VA. I had just lost 55 lbs and was looking for an outlet for all this extra energy I seemed to have. I had been noticing skateboarders in our town more frequently and saw an article about our local skatepark. One day after mowing the lawn, I pulled out my old skateboard that had been in the trunk of my car all these years, 12 to be exact! 🙂 I started to attempt stationary ollies and at first they were pretty small, but after several tries, my muscle memory started to come back and I could ollie pretty high again. I then started trying kickflips and after about 10 tries, I landed one! I was stoked I could still do these tricks! After that day, my passion for skateboarding was reignited. I would proceed to skate almost daily for the next three years from age 30 to 33.
I had a small bump in the road early when I broke my other wrist, the one that I didn't break as a kid. It set me back a little, but I actually went skateboarding with the cast on, I just could not help myself. There was a wealth of skateparks in the area of Hampton Roads for me to explore and I did, including a drained pool on some property in Williamsburg, VA where I live! That was the first pool I had ever skated! I had a blast, I felt like a kid again. I attended local skateboarding events whenever I could, including my first GoSkateboarding Day event in 2005 in Hampton, VA. They closed off some streets and I got to skate with a big crowd down them. It was fun! I even got to meet some of my childhood heros at several different skateboarding events, among them was Christian Hosoi, Mike Vallely and Andy MacDonald.
I injured myself again at age 33, this time it was a broken foot. This injury took me out for a long time and I even had to go through physical therapy to learn how to walk and use that foot again. I honestly haven't been able to get back into skateboarding the way I used to. The broken foot not only took a toll physically but also financially since I could not work my second job with a broken foot. Amazingly with a knee scooter I was able to continue my day job. I hope to get back into skating regularly again some day, but for now I settle for hopping on my board every once in awhile mainly just to roll around and feel the board beneath my feet again. The love for skateboarding never dies!

What an amazing experience. Susanne was extremely articulate and knowledgeable. Her stories of French history and culture were mesmerising and exciting leaving us, especially our 17 year old son with a sense of awe and wonder of France and it's history. We covered a great distance filled with many sites to feast our eyes upon, each one with its own story accurately told with great enthusiasm and detail. Unfortunately our time was too short with this young lady, book a whole day it will be money well spent
Gregory HairLake Kiowa, TX, United States
Susanne did a good job of showing us Notre Dame and the surrounding area. She presented quite a bit of French history in a short tour and was easy to understand. She is lively and energetic and we would recommend her to anyone.
Denis EagleUnited States
We like Suzanne a lot. Was knowledgeable. Seem to know her history and was very pleasant to be with. She did a fine job
Geraldine HaleyUnited Kingdom
We had a great walking tour and our guide made sure she was up to date on all the key historical facts by bringing notes with her . She also made it fun by asking us questions . A great way to see one district and off the beaten track .
Tessa ZimmerUnited States
I traveled with a 4 year old for my trip to Paris. For this tour we wanted to see the older parts of the City such as a Saint Germain and the Latin Quarter. Susanne came with a lot of understanding of Saint Germain in particular and pointed out interesting monuments and historical stories. This is not a tour that would cater to little kids but is definitely suitable for an adult audience.
Joanne CerasoUnited States
Jess V.United States
Susanne is a wonderful guide. We strolled from my hotel on Ile Saint Louis to the nearby Left Bank. She was quite knowledgable about specific sites, which as a history buff I really appreciated. She also found nice, quaint side streets to walk along, which made the tour that much more pleasant. Most of all, she is excellent company for an engaging, relaxing 3 hour tour. Thank you, Susanne!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks for your wonderful comment and thanks for the opportunity to do the tour in French! I hope you have a wonderful holiday! Au revoir!
Maxine LampeUnited States
Susanne was very knowledgeable and showed us all the sites we requested plus had excellent insight into the many areas we walked. At the end of the tour she took us to the site we needed to be at for the afternoon and recommended a place to eat. I would recommend the tour very highly.

Our second day with Susanne was full of interesting history in the Marais and St. Germaine areas. We saw lots of little nooks and crannies that we never would have known about let alone, found! Susanne's knowledge of French and Parisian history was very solid. She clearly prepares thoroughly for her walks. Again, she found us a crepery where we could have lunch. Susanne's knowledge, pleasant demeanor and flexibility make her a wonderful guide.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you so much Bob, we indeed had very pleasant walks and I appreciated our talks a lot! Take care!
Toby MonsodPhilippines
Very animated, enthusiastic and accommodating. We were a big group and could not walk as fast as planned. So suzanne adjusted as best she could and we appreciated it.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you Toby! I hope the crêpes were good! Have a great time in Paris! All the best!
Mary CrumUnited States
Susanne was prompt, pleasant and professional. She was extremely flexible in adjusting the schedule to help us see all the things that interested us. I would recommend her to anyone who was visiting Paris. Merci!

Suzanne was a fabulous guide. Enjoyed my tour very much. It was exactly the kind of tour I wanted. I had been to Paris twice before, but never saw the places she took me too.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Merci Jeanette, happy to hear that and thank you for writing me a review! Let me know when you get back to Paris so I can show you some more of the Paris you haven't seen before!
Ala HerzallahUnited States
Susanne was flexible, and very knowledgeable. She was able to provide in depth information during the tour, but also answered our specific questions about the city. We had an infant with us and Susanne was more than patient. At the end, she summarized our tour path and neighborhoods visited, as well as provided insight on recommended streets and places to eat.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you for these kind words and writing me a beautiful review! It was great meeting you, you're a lovely family and it was a pleasure showing you around. Take care and let me know when you're going to visit Paris again. Best regards!
Kaoru OtaniJapan
We enjoyed this tour very much. It was a very nice afternoon for us. Without Susanne, we'd never be able to see those interesting places. She was very knowledgable and helped us understand Paris deeply. We highly recommend her as your guide.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Merci Kaoru for writing these nice words! I'll contact you whenever I come to Tokyo! Au revoir!!
Chris BorgwaldGermany
I was lucky that Susanne has stepped in for the actually booked tour guide. She has all the key qualities a leader must possess city. A description of the impressions and information about Paris, France and the French, which I received by Susanne would go beyond the scope. BUT! Each of the watch not only Paris but also the French in the here and now but will also get to know about the past, Susanne must book. You will not be disappointed! I recommend they further unrestricted!
Stephanie NicholsCanada
We thoroughly enjoyed our customized five hour walking tour of Le Marais and Saint Germain with Suzanne. She was insightful, pleasant, courteous and very willing to cater to our group's wishes. At several points throughout the day we veered from her itinerary and Suzanne graciously went with the flow. Her flexibility and passion for history and Paris made our day with her both memorable and enjoyable. Thank you Suzanne.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you Stephanie! It was great meeting you and I had a lovely day with you. I hope you liked the restaurant and that my recommendations helped for the rest of your stay! Thanks again and say hi to everyone from me. All the best!
Mark S.United States
Susanne was an amazing tour guide! She made the day we spent with her very special and memorable! She was very knowledgeable, engaging and kind. We spent the first half of the day biking through Le Marais and the Latin Quarter. She provided us with a great deal of information at every historical site we visited. After a lovely lunch, we took the Metro to Montmsrtre where we took a walking tour. She was very efficient in getting us from place to place, whether it be by Metro, bike, or by foot. AMAZING!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Merci Kari and Mark! Hope to see you again soon:) All the best, Susanne
Cindy CookUnited States
Suzanne was very accommodating to our change of plans and getting our 3 teens into the The Louvre (jump the line) to see the Mona Lisa when we wanted to squeeze that in along with other sites.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you Cindy!
Robert MastracchioUnited States
Susanne was our guide for our group of six people for two days and we have nothing but positive things to say about her tours. She is very knowledgeable about the history of Paris and makes the places we visited come alive with her commentary. Susanne is also very personable and easy to engage in conversation. We all highly recommend using her as a tour guide.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank your for this lovely review! I had a great time with you as well. Thanks for the lunch! Hope to see you again in NY or Paris!
Andrea G.Australia
Fantastic tour of St Germain and Latin Quarter showing all the highlights in 3 hours. We walked and rode bikes and Susanne was careful to make sure I was safe on the bike, even bringing me a helmet. Susanne is very friendly and so knowledgeable. I had a wonderful time, thank you
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you again!!
Rod BurgessAustralia
We had the pleasure of Susanne being our tour guide for 7 hours on our first day in Paris. What a day, it was so good to get information on the area we were about to spend 8 days in. It was one of the best things we did, all the sights, information and interesting places. There were things we weren't into so we went to all the places and shops we wanted to see. Susanne showed us how to use the Metro and all the quaint local cafes. To have a personal guide in Paris... Awesome A+ Thanks Susanne it was GREAT
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Hi Rod! Thank you! Yes I spend a wonderful and special day with you guys as well. I hope the foods and drinks that we shopped were good and that the rest of your week in Paris was just as great, and that you've had a marvellous time at all the other destinations you were about to visit! Cheers and say hi to Buck from me!

The tour I took with Susanne deepened my knowledge of Paris and my appreciation for it. Spending the day with Susanne was like have a friend who knows Paris inside and out. She was friendly, knowledgeable and willing to customize our tour on the fly to allow me to spend more time experiencing the parts of the city I was really interested in. I've never book a tour like this before, but wouldn't hesitate to recommend Susanne to anyone interested in experiencing the city like an insider.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you Tyler! And thank you again for being such an inspiring customer! Keep in touch. Best, Susanne

Hi, I'm going to share my story with you all, if anything I just hope to gain clarity for myself. I had my 1st child at 16 . I was a troubled kid, in and out of trouble for years, always up to no good. I had a father that came around but he wasn't exactly fond of me. He preferred my brothers and it showed. I had been a victim of sexual abuse when I was 9 and also bipolar manic depressive, so ya I was the daughter of a fathers nightmare. I had my 1st child and after awhile I was done with her dad.. I didn't tell him that I just went and slept with a very close friend of ours...got pregnant on the 1st go... not good for any of us involved. I was more scared with this 2nd child than i ever was with my 1st it had been a year since my daughter was born and i find myself knocked up with a different mans baby. So me and this guy gotta try to make it work right? I didnt think I could ever do it on my own and the man I loved wasn't gonna have a thing to do with me once he found out what I had done. So i tried to force Nate into a relationship, I didn't want to be with him like that not really and he certainly wasn't wanting me, but abortion and adoption not an option. after 6 months of me stalking him and forcing him to play house with me I gave up I said ya know this sucks but im done with him, if he wants to see his son he knows the due date and he'll call or whatever. He didnt call until jonah was 6 months old by this time I have entered into a new relationship with a man that stole my heart so fast i thought he was going to be jonah's dad and we live happily ever after. Turns out my step dad plan was worse than all the others, he was very abusive to me physically emotionally every way. due to the nature of this I was afraid to let his real dad anywhere near us, even though deep down I knew I was wrong, I justified my actions making ill claims against him. Honestly me and him are the same we went through the same troubles we acted out in the same ways,,, I was no more fit @ that time to raise my son than he was. Here we are now my son 11, I'm finally the big 30, Nate is too...and I know Ive spent the last 5 years fixing all of me that needed to be fixed. Nate says he's clean and sober, he does have a criminal record but nothing that is child related or domestic, fights with men, not a good thing but not the worst either. He has 3 other kids he sees regularly, he's kept a job for 2 years which does say alot. He wants to meet jonah if jonah wants to meet him. I think I should let my son make the decision, and I hope that my son will somehow find a little bit of happiness from the experience. Ive robbed him of another side of his family. Apart of him is missing and I wonder if thats why he gets so sad and why he has the lowest self esteem ever, he doesnt like who is. I see it and Ive told my kids the entire history of my life the good bad and the ugly, I will never lie because I hated when my parents hid truths from me as a kid, I never knew my mom like my kids know me... I lost them when i finally got away from the Abusive One, I was so traumatized I guess from just everything that I kinda went alittle crazy. I never left the kids in a dangerous situation, I just left them with my mom and would go out and drink and party and try to forget the hell i felt inside. Being Bipolar certainly did'nt help out, my parents thought I wasnt fit told the courts i had a mental disorder and drug habit and that was that...my mom had temporary custody of jonah and my daughter went to her dads so their lives changed dramatically from one day being @ home evreyday for 3 years with mom 24/7 too no mom, no step dad, no sister, etc. This was the hardest thing for us , especially since I was falling deeper into drugs and drinking by the day.. i stopped seeing them entirely for months i stayed away.I couldn't look at them my shame was deep,relentless, i just wanted to die. I tried and stayed on this path for awhile... and in 2010 I said I gotta fix this I cant be this monster, Im going to get well and I most certainly did, I worked very hard to prove myself worthy and finally I have. So I guess what scares me the most is can his real dad stay commited to him consistently or will this end up being another disappointment like all the rest. My kids know why I was away Ive told them everything, No SECRETS, not for us I can't afford too, they can only forgive me if they understand the life I led. Today me and the kids we are closer than any others I know. My kids tell me everything, they trust me again, and they forgave me. I dont know if Nate is as commited to making it right as me, and my greatest fear is that another person jonah loves is going to brake his heart and leave him... is the risk worth it?

Quote:8. Clark and Bruce have an ongoing debate on weather or not Bruce could hit Superman's fast ball. Clark doubts it, thinking that he can throw too fast for Bruce to even see it. But Bruce hypothesizes that one can only throw a ball so fast before it falls apart, so Superman will be limited on how fast he can throw it. This is proven correct at the end of the issue when they try it and Bruce hits Superman's fast ball.
Quote:Good issue. I really like the character dynamic between them and it was very nice to see Lois and Selina interact together and just talking. Who knew these characters had such great chemistry.
Yep. Good issue.

Francis Vandebilt lives in a future earth society in a totalitarian state. Amongst many other restrictions, the distribution of art and creativity provoking mediums are the most severe offenses against the law of the state. Francis has to deal with the reprocussions of his choice to disobey this law in hopes of inspiring a young boy.
By Ande Jonas
FRANCIS VANDEBILT (28M) is young, determined and devoted to the process of creating and the pursuit of inspiration. Francis lives in a future Earth society in revolt of a totalitarian State. Amongst many other restrictions, the distribution of art and creativity provoking mediums are the most severe offenses against the law of the State. The State believes that inspiration and creativity incites revolution and disobedience. Many citizens of the State are "Standards", citizens who have conformed to the totalitarian way of living; those who have rejected the revolt and the things that they stand for.
In Francis' unmistakable, enthralling 1962 Mercedes Benz Coupe (a rare vessel at the time) he tries to spread inspiration despite the possibility of severe repercussions. He is cruising down a clear freeway with a junked backseat of crumbled old vinyl artwork, CD credits and some half destroyed books from the "Inspired Time" of the 1970s. Francis is in search of a pub to have a cool brew on a scorching day. Standard Radio is playing, Francis likes to listen to it to have something to mock in his head. He scoffs and puts on an old Outkast compact disc, "Aquemini". Eventually, Francis catches eye onto Potero's, Bar & Grill. Francis pulls into the lot. He parks and steps out the vivacious mercedes immediately catching the eye of surrounding Standards. He lights a cigarette. Almost as if the sight of a Standards' existence is an instant stressor to his own.
Francis notices a young boy, WALTER RIGBY (10M) taking a hypnotic interest in the tabloids posted outside of Potero's. Francis makes way to introduce himself to young Walter. He goes on to explain the original condition of the State to Walter - before the totalitarian uprising and how it was easy for them to rise to power because of what Walter was doing exactly at that moment. Being so engulfed into other people's business that didn't promote or excite the idea of progression, inventiveness and creativity. Francis can see that Walter is scared, no, overwhelmed. But not of Francis, Walter explains. Walter being so young, he was born into this, this is his normalcy. Francis realizes that he can show him better than he can tell him and goes to his car to retrieve his most prized piece of art. Almost not realizing how much of a heinous crime this is at the time, he disregards it entirely. Francis presents to Walter an original 1982, "The Wall" Poster from the Pink Floyd film. Walter is excited and amazed. He's never seen something like this in his entire life. Francis feels so proud of himself for this, he subconsciously welcomes any repercussions knowing that what he's done is something bigger than himself.
Francis continues on into the pub for a cold brew. He notices Standards within the pub whispering and staring at him. This is something he's used to so he pays it no mind. But suddenly, he is approached by a wildly upset mother, MRS. RIGBY (44W). Mrs. Rigby yells and screams, "You have no right! No right to expose my son to this confusion!" Francis is almost saddened at the sight of her, someone born into the previous State, before the totalitarian uprising, completely brain-washed against the idea of creativity. Francis regains his focus and silently pleads, pleads for Mrs. Rigby to keep her voice down. Throughout their confrontation, Francis notices that Mrs. Rigby is bringing a lot of unwanted attention to them. The barkeep reaches for the phone and Francis knows he's in trouble, half paying attention to Mrs. Rigby's rant and half paying attention to the reactions of the people around them. They are whispering and beginning to crowd them. As the crowd of people grows, Francis notices State cars pull up to Potero's. Little Walter tries to pierce through the wall of Standards to get Francis' attention, but doesn't manage to get his attention through everything that is going on.
Francis is approached and apprehended by the authorities then immediately dragged away. Once being briefly detained, Francis comes to an encounter with PAULIE (36M). Paulie's been a recurring detainee in the State's program, he introduces Francis to two other detainee's ROB (29M) who constantly talks about how he has to "File these reports" although he's never in an actual office, and then DONNY (21M) who is so traumatized from the program to the point he is in awe of Francis' existence, his essence of freedom scares Donny completely. The sight of Paulie, Donny and Rob's turnout terrifies Francis but he prepares himself for the worst. Eventually the cell door opens, and shortly after Francis is being forced into the program lead by DR. GAUNT (68M). The program coaxes him into being a "Standard" citizen, where he falls into deep interests of trivial news, tabloids and a purposeless career. In this program, Francis is forced to watch a mesmeric visual compilation used to break down the creative mind. Dr. Gaunt takes a creepy interest in witnessing those with strong mindsets and willpower to fight against the State, break and crumble by the poison that is his program. Francis' final words as a free minded man, he and Dr. Gaunt exchange words about the future of the State and the history of the totalitarian uprising. Dr. Gaunt explains how it was easy to take control of the masses to create one State with no division under one entire dominating rule. Gaunt says that because people who choose to drown in pointless information draw all the same inspiration and ideas from the internet, as opposed to seeking more diverse ways to create their own ideas. Gaunt says, "it was easy to create a central idea". Francis in total disappointment fades out, awaking later into the pointless cycle of a Standard.
Years pass, and Francis is seen as a regular standard citizen, happily goes to work, takes interests in entertainment gossip news hugely, enjoys music only played on Standard radio, has no real aspirations and is totally content with it all. As if Francis is a completely new man. He left one important mark before he began to lead this new life. That mark was Walter. Walter took everything that Francis had introduced him to like a sponge, he soaked up all of that inspiration, those ideas. Francis created a cycle and he wasn't even fully sure that, that was what he was doing in actuality. Walter denounces his mother's beliefs, respectfully. He reaches out to kids just like how Francis did for him, and a kid blossoms. Continuing and everlasting cycle of growth and creativity, in hopes to one day recreate an entire society that praises and embraces progression, inventiveness, idealism, and creativity. Instead of shunning it in fear, or taking it for granted in place of things that don't promote it.

Let me tell you, I love to cook. I do. Which is something my mother finds hilarious because I picked up cooking when I got into university. Before that, I could only make scrambled eggs and toast. But now, I have over 72 cookbooks and love to whip up a storm. Often I take food for my coworkers. I'm sort of a mother hen.
However, this doesn't extend to home. Back in the apartment, there's only Genghis and I, which sucks. I mean, when Damian comes over on the weekend, I occasionally cook, but we usually end up going out to take advantage of the food that's seriously lacking on the Wild Wild Boricua West. Though the Western side of the island's cuisine is picking up, we usually have to drive at least half an hour to get to an awesome spot other then the ones that are readily available (like the Mayagüez classic Don Quijote).
So when I dine alone, I usually just make myself a sandwich or some cornmeal, which pisses Damian off because he says I'm not feeding myself properly. True, I guess. But I guess I just don't like cooking for myself. Even if I get to take the leftovers to the office the next day and save money on lunch.
I'm trying to wean myself off that annoying habit and forcing myself to cook dinner. For myself. I tell myself it's a challenge to improve my cooking and take on dishes that I haven't really done before. Like this. A very basic Boricua mofongo.
I had never made mofongo before in my life. This is a blasphemy if you're a Puerto Rican. Seriously! I decided to go all out and make myself some mofongo stuffed with garlic shrimp cooked in butter.
Interested in making mofongo? Here's the basic recipe.
Mofongo for one (as my mother taught me):
1 green plantain
1 garlic clove
olive oil in non-stingy amounts
salt to taste (I never add salt, but everyone else does...)
(There's also the option of adding bacon! Many in PR do this, so feel free to include bacon into the mix.)
Add some oil into a frying pan and heat it up. In the meantime, open and chop the plantain into several slices around .5 of an inch thick. Carefully drop them in the pan and cook them until golden.
When golden, take them out. The garlic: you may cook it or leave it as is. Mash it up in a container and then throw in the cooked plantain and mash it up as well. Mix until garlic is evenly spread around plantain. Eat as is or shape it in a bowl to add filling! (Like I did with the garlic shrimp.)
(Note: Plantains are normally deep fried. My family's alternative is a bit healthier, as it uses less oil. You may deep fry if you want!)
Let me know if you try this! :)

Satellite Shooter is Navy Missile Ace!
The USS Lake Erie, unlike what's being reported in the Media, is tested and ready to go. More info from the Star Bulletin:
The USS Lake Erie has been able to hit a drone missile nine out of
11 tries. In its most recent attempt in November, the Navy warship fired two
missiles and intercepted two drones. There will be three ships involved in the
operation, Navy officials told CNN. The Lake Erie, which has been involved in
the Pentagon's missile defense testing program off Barking Sands, Kauai, since
2002, will fire the SM-3 missiles, while trajectory information will come from a
second ship. The third ship will serve as backup, Navy officials said.
The Navy has numerous recent success with its BMD program:
For the past six years, the Pacific Missile Range Facility off
Kauai has been the test site for Navy's ballistic defense system. Drone missiles
are fired from Barking Sands and intercepted at sea by SM-3 missiles launched
from Navy warships equipped with the Aegis defense system.
There have been
12 missile intercepts in 14 attempts since 2002.
Thats a pretty good record, while the USAF's THAAD program suffers from numerous failures. The Navy is sending a message that it can do the required mission.

SARC stands for Sexual Assault Referral Centre and there are around 40 SARC's in the UK each covering a geographical area that is usually in line with local Policing areas.
Helen Britton House provides comfortable supportive surroundings, forensically secure areas and interview facilities to ensure that Victims of Sexual Violence receive the best possible service in Teesside.
If your client discloses sexual assault or rape you need to consider the following:
SARC staff offer an independent victim focussed service. SARC staff recognise that for many victims 'officials' such as Police and medical professionals have 'power' and therefore will advocate on behalf of the victim throughout.
SARC is the central referral hub for sexual offence services and one referral into SARC can ensure that all appropriate services are put in place through agreed referral pathways
If you would like your team to have a comprehensive understanding of SARC, please contact us to arrange an awareness raising session. We can also provide training around the impact of sexual violence.
Attending Court
Remember that a victim of sexual violence does not have to report to the police or go to court to access our services
The courts and the police and of course us recognise that reporting a crime and attending court can be very daunting and worrying for victims. The standard of proof is high for criminal convictions and this can result in acquittals at court. This does not mean that a victim is not believed, a jury must be sure that a person is guilty before finding them guilty. The risk of acquittal can put even more strain on a victim. A significant number of sex offenders are convicted every year it is important to remember this.
If a victim decides to report a case to the police, they will be supported by our SARC services. These services and support at court are delivered by specialist support workers called ISVAs. This means Independent Sexual Violence Advisor. An ISVA will provide support for you throughout the process but ensures that they do not discuss or influence your evidence in anyway. They arethere to help you and are truly independent so they do not influence the outcome of the case or taint your evidence.
In most cases we refer victims to one of our partners who provide high quality ISVA services across Teesside. We would make a referral on your behalf to the most appropriate service provider to meet your needs. The SARC does operate an ISVA service for certain situations but in the vast majority of cases the victim receives a high quality service from one of our partners.
From first picking up the phone and speaking to us to a conclusion at court and beyond we will ensure that you get the services that you need.

Hastings Fire: Day 25
From what I heard, Alaska has several huge wild fires every summer that we don't hear about much. So, here's a post about the Hastings Fire.
The information for this post is from InciWeb.
Since having started May 30, 2011, the fire has grown to 22,819 acres and is sitting at 61% containment, with 1,002 personnel battling it. Also, the growth potential is at medium, with the terrain difficulty at high.

Sister restaurant of L'Artusi and dell'anima. Since I like both of these places L'Apicio was definitely one to try. Great atmosphere, cool bar, a couple of comfy lounge couches in the front. It could be good for a drink with friends or a business dinner or a date. All good things.
Start with CHARRED OCTOPUS. This was delicious! The octopus was nice and soft all mixed in with green papers, pepperoni and fregola (a type of pasta), very balanced. The lemon zest added a great kick to the entire dish. Highly recommend this one. Yummy!
GNOCCHI WITH OSSO BUCCO RAGU. Ragu was amazing and gnocchi was delicious I actually thought there should have been more ragu and a little less gnochi. Great classic combination of a pasta and meat. Love the melted cheese on top. Quite a hearty portion so sharing is always encouraged.
Board with POLENTA and BRAISED SHORT RIB. Actually, there is an entire section of polenta inventions. All looked good but it was the short rib that was the right choice for the night. It was terrific. The polenta soaked in sauce from the meat is sure to make you very happy with the choice.
A great place with great food. L'Artusi people have the formula figured out.

Hello! I will continue to promote cruelty-free fashion by looking fabulous in my vegan shoes and bags, rescuing abandoned cats and eating more vegan marshmallows than any girl should! Happy New Year!
I will host a vegan pot-luck supper once a month for my friends and family where we will share goals and ideas for loving ourselves and our planet. I will share resources, articles and recipes.
I will continue to grow my vegan health and beauty business and share it with as many people as I can to help stop animal cruelty and promote wellness.
I am excited for the opportunities in 2015 to more fully cultivate a life that promotes the values expressed in the Buddhist mantra, "May all beings be happy and free". For me, some of the main components on that path thus far have been gratitude, joyfulness, veganism, activism/advocacy, meditation, yoga, and dance.
I cannot wait for 2015! I have been vegan for years and am 8 months pregnant. Next month when my son is born, I will begin raising him vegan and look forward to cooking delicious meals for my family. Activism begins at home!

Early life[edit]
Octavia Lenora Spencer[5] was born in Montgomery, Alabama, and has six siblings, including sisters Rosa and Areka.[6] Her mother, Dellsena Spencer (1945-1988),[7] worked as a maid.[8] Her father died when she was thirteen.[9] Spencer graduated from Jefferson Davis High School in 1988.[10] She studied at Auburn University at Montgomery,[11] and graduated from Auburn University, where she majored in English with a double minor in journalism and theater.[12] Spencer has dyslexia.[13]
Spencer worked as an intern on the set of The Long Walk Home, a film starring Whoopi Goldberg.[14] In 1997 she moved to Los Angeles on the advice of her friend Tate Taylor, the future director of The Help, in which Spencer would later star.[15]
Spencer made her film debut as a nurse in Joel Schumacher's A Time to Kill, based on the book by John Grisham. She was originally hired to work on casting, but asked Schumacher if she could audition for a part.[16] Other film credits include: Never Been Kissed, Big Momma's House, Bad Santa, Spider-Man, Coach Carter, Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! and Pretty Ugly People. She has made a number of guest appearances on television series, including Raising the Bar, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, The Big Bang Theory, Wizards of Waverly Place, Grounded for Life, ER, Titus, Becker, 30 Rock and Dharma & Greg, plus a recurring role on the sitcom Mom. She is best known for her starring roles as Serenity Johnson on Comedy Central's Halfway Home, and Constance Grady, the amorous INS caseworker on Ugly Betty.
In 2003, Spencer made her stage debut in Los Angeles, in Del Shores' play, The Trials and Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife, starring opposite veteran actress Beth Grant. It was her first and only play, as, she once explained, she suffers from what she called "intense stage fright".[17] Later that year, she starred opposite Allison Janney in Tate Taylor's short feature Chicken Party.
In 2008, Spencer's brief appearance in Seven Pounds as Kate, Rosario Dawson's home care nurse, garnered her high praise and media attention.[18] In April 2009, Entertainment Weekly listed Spencer as among its "25 Funniest Actresses in Hollywood."[19]
In August 2009, Spencer appeared in Rob Zombie's Halloween II. She also had a role in the American remake of the Danish classic Love at First Hiccup, opposite Scout Taylor-Compton. Spencer starred in the feature film Herpes Boy, alongside Beth Grant, Ahna O'Reilly and Byron Lane. She played the voice of "Minny" on the audio version of novel The Help, by Kathryn Stockett. Later that year, Spencer's short film The Captain was honored by the CICFF as a finalist for the REEL Poetry Award.
In August 2010, Spencer joined Viola Davis, Emma Stone and Bryce Dallas Howard in The Help, an adaptation of the novel. She played the feisty and unflappable Minny Jackson. The film was written, produced and directed by Tate Taylor, and produced by Brunson Green, Chris Columbus, Michael Barnathan, and Mark Radcliffe. She won the 2012 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture for her work in The Help.[20] On February 12, 2012, Spencer won a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress for her Performance in The Help, and on February 26 she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the same performance; it was her first Oscar nomination and first win. Spencer was given a standing ovation at the ceremony, and was moved to tears during her acceptance speech. In June 2012, Spencer was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.[21]
In 2013, she appeared alongside Michael B. Jordan in Fruitvale Station, a film chronicling the last day of Oscar Grant, who was killed at a Bay Area Rapid Transit station in 2009.[22]
In September 2013, it was announced that she would reunite with The Help director Tate Taylor in the biopic on singer James Brown Get On Up, opposite her The Help co-star Viola Davis. The film was released in 2014.[23] From September 2014 until February 2015, she starred in Steven Spielberg's Fox drama television series Red Band Society.[24]
Spencer co-starred alongside Kevin Costner in the drama film Black or White (2014)[25] and co-starred as Johanna Reyes in the second installment of the Divergent series, The Divergent Series: Insurgent (2015).[26] She reprised the role in The Divergent Series: Allegiant (2016). She voiced an otter, Mrs. Otterton, in Disney's Zootopia, which marks her first animated film.
In 2016, she starred alongside Taraji P. Henson and Janelle Monáe in Hidden Figures, a film about African-American mathematicians at NASA who were critical to its success in the 1960s in the Space Race, and who each had careers there. She played mathematician and human computer Dorothy Vaughan. The role garnered her a Golden Globe Award and Screen Actors Guild Award for her performance and earned Spencer a second nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, making her the only black actress to follow up an Oscar victory with another nomination, having previously won for The Help.[2] In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Spencer bought out a Los Angeles screening of Hidden Figures to treat low-income families that would have been unable to afford to see the film otherwise.[27]
In 2017, Spencer co-starred with Sally Hawkins in Guillermo del Toro's fantasy drama film The Shape of Water, which follows a mute custodian at a high-security government laboratory who befriends a captured humanoid-amphibian creature. The film was screened in the main competition section of the 74th Venice International Film Festival, where it premiered to positive reviews on August 31, 2017,[28] and was awarded the Golden Lion for best film in the competition.[29] It also screened at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival.[30] Spencer earned Golden Globe and BAFTA Award nominations for her portrayal, while receiving her third Academy Award nomination in the Best Supporting Actress category, making her the first black actress to receive two consecutive Oscar nods in back-to-back years as well as the most nominated black actress to date, along with The Help co-star Viola Davis.[2]
Upcoming projects[edit]
Spencer will return to television by starring in the Apple television series Are You Sleeping as well as starring in the Netflix limited series Madam C. J. Walker. For both series, Spencer will serve as an executive producer.[31][32] Furthermore, Spencer will reunite with her The Help co-star Jessica Chastain for a holiday comedy film.[33]

Your Comfort Food Might Be Causing the Feelings That Require Comfort Food
Bad news for anyone who reaches for a bowl of mac and cheese after a particularly rough day. The feelings you are trying to drown out might actually be made worse by the foods you choose.
Researchers recently published a paper that links higher-glycemic-index foods (refined sugars and starches are particularly troublesome) with a higher chance of developing depression.
Of course the good news is that if your diet is filled with more healthy proteins, fruits, and vegetables, you'll be less likely to develop symptoms of depression.
As if we needed another reason to skip the chips and eat something healthy instead.

Yes, it's that time again.
Everything is ripening - more than you can eat so let's get picking and canning!
A few small Zucchini, Cucumber and Spring Onions
Grapes, Grapes and more Grapes
This is just the beginning.
My Thompson Seedless is an excellent producer
and there is more left to pick!
Yes, I share with the Mocking Birds,
as you can see the picked clean stem on the table ♥
Washed and ready to eat!
B works with a lady that has a great Veggie garden and she has been sharing with him and he has been sharing with us. Each time I see him we receive a big box of Squash
Time to can!
This year I've decided to try Zickles (Zucchini Pickles)
and Zapplesauce (Zucchini Applesauce).
After all if I can make a Zapple Pie why can't you make Zapplesauce right?
Zickles first.
2 pounds Zucchini, thinly sliced
1/4 cup Salt
1 1/2 cup White Vinegar
3/4 cup Sugar
3/4 teaspoon Dill Seed
3/4 teaspoon Mustard Seed
3/4 teaspoon Turmeric
1/4 teaspoon Dry Mustard
Fresh Dill Sprigs
(the scraps in the white bowl are for Tilly,
she loves eating fresh veggies)
Thinly slice Zucchini
1.Add Salt to sliced Zucchini and mix thoroughly.
Let stand for 1 hour and then drain.
2. Mix remaining ingredients and boil for 3 minutes.
(Yes, I was multi-tasking by cooking a huge package
of hamburger at the same time so I could
freeze it into 1 pound bags)
3. Pour hot mixture over Zucchini slices
and let stand for at least 1 hour.
During that hour I sliced the Zucchini for the Zapplesauce.
I also shredded Zucchini, Patty Pan
and Crook Neck Squash.
I placed 2 cups of shredded Squash
into bags for the freezer.
I use shredded Zucchini for my Pina Colada Jam,
Zucchini Nut Bread, and what ever else
I decide to throw it into like Spaghetti Sauce.
4. Place Zucchini and liquid to a large pot and boil for 3 minutes.
5. Pack Zucchini tightly in hot sterilized jars. Add Dill Sprigs.
6. Pour in the hot liquid, wipe jar rims and threads clean and seal.
7. Label and store in a cool place.

The lids will plink when sealed.

Start timing when water boils
I have to say they taste really good!
They are like Bread and Butter Pickles. YUM!
12 cups Zucchini, peeled, seeded and cut into slices
1/2 cup water
1 - 2 cups Sugar, to your liking
1 - 2 Tablespoons Cinnamon, to your liking
1. In a large pot combine Zucchini and water.

7. Label and store in a cool place.

Jan Campert was born in Spijkenisse in the Netherlands in 1902. After working in a bank for several years he tried his hand at journalism in 1926, first in local and regional papers, before working for a new newspaper, The New Vulture, in November 1927. Not only a journalist, Campert also wrote poetry and theatre criticism.
During the German occupation of the Netherlands Campert was involved in helping Jews escape to Belgium. On 21 July 1942 he and a colleague were arrested whilst helping Frans van Raalte to the Belgian border. The three men were taken to the prison in Breda where Van Raalte committed suicide. Campert was held for three months in Breda before being transferred to the Neuengamme concentration camp near Hamburg, where he died on January 12 1943.
Campert is best known for two poems: sonnet 14 "Rebel, my heart, imprisoned and enslaved" in Sonnets for Cynara (1942) and 'The Eighteen Dead', which describes the execution of 18 resistance workers by the German occupiers. The poem was written in 1941 and published clandestinely in 1943 as a poetry card, to raise money to hide Jewish children.

Members of the Guerrero Congress have voted unanimously to raise taxes for mining companies, but the measure will require the support of the federal government to be implemented.
Isidro Duarte Cabrera, a Deputy with the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) who also serves as the president of the state Commission on Development, Agriculture and Fisheries, presented the motion, arguing that the contributions received from mining companies by municipal governments are inadequate.
Duarte proposed petitioning President Enrique Peña Nieto to instruct the Secretariat of Economy to cooperate with the Secretariat of Finance to look for mechanisms to increase taxes on mining companies.
Duarte also proposed the establishment of a state trust to manage the contributions received from mining companies so that they are invested efficiently in development projects in communities where mining occurs.
He called on Governor Héctor Astudillo to initiate that process.
Under federal law mining companies are required to contribute 7.5% of their income in taxes with a further 0.5% for extracting precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum.
Of that tax revenue, 77.5% is assigned to the federal government's Regional Sustainable Development Fund for States and Municipalities, also known as the Mining Fund, which then redistributes the funds.
However, the allocation of tax contributions paid by mining companies — some of them transnationals — that reached municipal governments in Guerrero in 2016 represented less than 1% of their profits, Duarte argued, citing figures that show the net income of mining companies in the state to be almost 5.38 billion pesos (US $294 million) but municipalities only received just over 52 million pesos or 0.96% of the income.
Of the eight municipalities with mining activity, just one — Eduardo Neri — received sufficient contributions to undertake development projects in its communities while the others received only token amounts.
The politician explained that mining was particularly lucrative because companies were able to deduct the amounts they have invested in projects from the taxes they are required to pay. He also claimed that mines cause irreversible ecological damage in the areas where they operate.
Public works and projects carried out by the companies don't compensate for the environmental harm that they cause or contribute to the development of local municipalities, he added.
That occurs, Duarte charged, because the federal government grants mining concessions without any involvement from the states or the communities where mining activity occurs.
Between 2011 and 2015 more than 250,000 tonnes of gold and silver were extracted in the state, representing an income of just over 34.5 billion pesos to mining companies.
Mexico is the world's biggest producer of silver and mining is important to the national economy, representing around 5.5% of gross domestic product (GDP) although investment in the sector declined in recent years before increasing again in 2016.
