As a nurse, and as an individual whom deeply explores her own mind this has always been a very important concept to me. "Physician heal thyself"-Soren Dahl, I like to think of it more as "Healer heal thyself" mainly because of its very deep root in "Know thyself." To be able to delve deep into ones self is to know where one is weak and where one needs to heal. For to heal others and to know other, you need to first know yourself.
This card shows us that to heal we must be vulnerable and open to the love that others and ourselves have to offer. When we are healing we are no longer hiding from ourselves and others. In this attitude of openness and acceptance we can be healed and in turn help others also to be healthy and whole.
Many of the times we carry our wounds or are ready to be wounded, just waiting on the brink for anything to happen. Be aware of your wounds, don't help it grow, let it be healed.
So I'm going to try something, please join me if you like, for 24 hours try total acceptance. No stories, no wounding. Someone insults you? Don't react and see what happens. From one thing to another, see when you react out of habit and when you don't react out of habit. Is there a pattern? Is there a story you are telling yourself about your wounding?

3 things you need to know about the new OSHA standard changes
A. Gloves are replaced when they fail a visual inspection, air test or electrical test. If there is anything that makes a worker suspect the glove is unfit for service, feel free to replace it but there is no annual replacement requirement.
Got a question?
The only bad question is the one you didn't ask

ArcWear now provides ISO 17025 A2LA Accredited testing for ASTM F1506 and F1891 along with our other arc flash standards.
Redefining PPE classifications
Changes are coming to the way we refer to PPE classifications in NFPA 70E. The new NFPA 70E 2015 version, due in Aug/Sept 2014, eliminates the commonly used term HRC (Hazard/Risk Category), which described the level of PPE needed for specific tasks in the PPE tables. Instead, the new NFPA 70E will use the term "arc rated PPE category," or simply "PPE level". It should be noted that HRC has never been required on clothing. ASTM F1506 and other arc flash standards like ASTM F1891 (rainwear), ASTM F2178 (eye and face protection) or ASTM F2675 (gloves) do not require HRC levels — they require that the cal/cm 2 garment rating be used.
That being said the HRCs have become very common on clothing and the levels are still there but will be called PPE categories or PPE levels. The categories remain essentially the same; for example, the current HRC 3, encompassing the range of 25 to 39 cal/cm 2, will still be PPE level 3, etc. (see chart).
We recommend using something like ARC1, ARC2, etc. to keep something like the HRC and still be clear to the end user if you choose to use these levels on labels.

to sustain an arc. This would include panel boards,
switchgear, transformers and any place that could have
equipment failure. For years, the safety industry has been searching for lighter weight protection that would stand up against these real and ever present dangers.

So I threw together a last minute princes dress using the Amor Dress from Tadah Patterns, with some small modifications, of course!
I used the pleated sleeve option and I made the sleeves wider and gathered it instead of pleating, which gave it that cute 'sit on the shoulder' look and added a false placket to the middle with some sparkly ribbon. I also made the back elasticised instead of tie/button up.
She's pretty happy with it and now has asked for a Belle dress too! I've given her a sticker behaviour chart to earn her Belle dress!

Around the League notebook for Wednesday, Oct. 29by NHL Public Relations
Home Team in CAPS
Down 2-1 after 40 minutes, the Detroit Red Wings scored three times in the third period, including two goals by Justin Abdelkader (WATCH ), to win 4-2 against the Washington Capitals. Detroit's victory was its first in Washington since Dec. 9, 2005, snapping a four-game skid (0-3-1).
* Abdelkader's second tally stood as his second winning goal of the season. He also scored the decisive marker on Oct. 23 vs. the Pittsburgh Penguins when the Red Wings overcame a two-goal deficit in the final three minutes of regulation before winning in overtime. Detroit also trailed entering the final period in that game; in fact, the Red Wings hold a 2-0-1 record when trailing after 40 minutes this season (also 3-2 SO loss vs. the Boston Bruins on Oct. 15).
* Abdelkader (2-1-3) recorded at least three points for the second time in his career; he tallied a career-high 3-1-4 vs. the Anaheim Ducks on Mar. 22, 2013.
* Gustav Nyquist scored his team-leading fifth goal of the season in the second period (tied with Abdelkader) and now has 5-2-7 in four career games against the Capitals.
* Pavel Datsyuk scored a power-play goal in the final minute of the third period (WATCH ) and recorded the primary assist on the winning goal. He has at least a point in each of his four games this season (2-3-5) and 5-7-12 in seven career visits to the Verizon Center.
* Jimmy Howard stopped 25 of 27 shots to improve to 4-1-2 this season with a .928 save percentage and 1.96 goals-against average.
Pekka Rinne stopped 26 shots and the Nashville Predators scored twice in a span of 86 seconds in the second period (WATCH ) in a 4-1 win against the Edmonton Oilers at Rexall Place. With the victory, Nashville improved to 6-1-2 (14 points) this season and halted Edmonton's winning streak at four games.
* Rinne improved to 6-1-1 with a 1.71 goals-against average and a .936 save percentage with one shutout this season.
* Craig Smith matched a career-high with two goals, accomplished six times before (last: Apr. 13 at the Minnesota Wild).
* The Predators snapped a three-game skid against the Oilers and earned their first victory in Edmonton since Nov. 28, 2011 (2-1 win).
* Taylor Beck scored his first career game-winning goal. He now has 4-5-9 in 28 career NHL games, with his most-recent goal coming against the Dallas Stars on Apr. 12, 2013.
* Roman Josi (0-2-2) notched his first multi-point game of the season and played a game-high 25:50. Fellow blueliner Shea Weber scored his fourth goal of the season and skated 25:45.
Washington's Joel Ward extended his point streak to three games (2-1-3). … Edmonton forwards Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (3-2-5, five games) and Taylor Hall (2-1-3, three games) extended their point streaks. … Washington's Matt Niskanen (500), Detroit's Darren Helm (300), and Nashville's Paul Gaustad (600) and Colin Wilson (300) all played in milestone games. … The Department of Player Safety suspended Rangers forward John Moore for five games for an illegal check to the head of Wild forward Erik Haula during their game on Monday. … St. Louis Blues forward T.J. Oshie, Pittsburgh center Sidney Crosby, Minnesota left wing Zach Parise and other NHLers shared their favorite childhood Halloween costumes . . . Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby wore a special mask in honor of the team's Hockey Fights Cancer Awareness Night. The mask will be auctioned to raise money for the initiative

Sustainability and tyre industry
By David Shaw
Editors ask me to write a column each issue on sustainability as it relates to the global tyre industry. I sometimes wonder how anyone can do that without referring every now and then to natural rubber (NR). Unfortunately most people in the tyre industry are turned right off by discussions about NR.
I can understand that.
For anyone in India or south-East Asia, the balance between the production of NR and its consumption is a delicate one.
On one hand the farmers who produce the stuff want prices to be high. There are a lot of farmers and they the price of rubber tends to be a good indicator of whether they vote with, or against the government. This brings a big political dimension to the debate.
On the other, tyre makers – for whom NR can make up 25% of all costs – want the price to be low, because that tends to mean bigger profits.
The endless politicking that goes on around this debate is, frankly, boring to any but those directly involved in the discussions, and then it is fascinating.
Yet NR is, by far, the most important material by volume going into the tyre industry. Not only that, but it is, by its very nature a natural product with all the variability and lack of standardisation that implies.
NR is one of the constraints in production engineers who seek to make the process as repeatable as possible.
NR is bought and sold differently from all other materials used by the tyre industry.
NR is the key to sustainability from social, environmental and economic perspectives.
There is a fundamental issue about the long-term sustainability of the NR industry.

Piano Music by Robert HELPS
|Fantasy Fontana (1977) – Even among the tiny elite of Helps aficionados, this work qualifies as obscure. The composer never once mentioned the existence of this short piece in the fifteen years I, the Monument Webmaster, knew him. The title and dedication - "for Roger Sessions in celebration of this 80th birthday" - probably allude to Session's early setting of James Joyce's
| "On the Beach at Fontana." Perhaps because other past works solicited for this occasion include Babbitt's horrifyingly complex Post-Partitions, Helps seems to wryly "up the ante" with an uncharacteristic array of polyrhythms within a pianistic ostinato texture that is vintage Helps.

Initially the day started with a rather long trek around London trying to find Viktor Wynd's, Little Shop Of Horrors. In my opinion the only way to describe the shop/exhibition of wired and quite frankly STRANGE, yet intriguing things is on the back of the leaflet I was given upon entering the shop;
In the deepest darkest Hackney, nestling in the very heart one of the greatest centres of deprivation & poverty in Europe, protected by a small sign on the door stating,"no poor people", lurks Viktor Wynd's Little Shop of Horrors, a vainglorious attempt to recreate a 17th Century Kunstkamera, underground a basement soaked blood red. In old museum cabinets lurks a collection of wonder inspiring objects, recreating a sense of the aesthetic that judges objects purely on what they look like, juxtapositioning modern sex toys with antique dolls, anatomical specimens, skulls and ivory carvings, carnivorous plants with mortuary tables, mac Donald's happy toys, tin toys and ivory phalluses, shrunken heads, Dayak head hunter skulls, erotica, Auroch fossils, Renaissance engravings, Tilandsia, etc. WHAT MORE COULD ONE DEMAND FIR DOMESTIC BLISS?
To find out more the website is – http://www.thelasttuesdaysociety.org
Although I found some of the things I saw and found in this oddly unusual place interesting and often amusing to read i still feel that they have broadened my horizons and opened my eyes a little as to what some people would class as art ! Above and bellow are some pictures of the artefacts at the little shop of HORRORS.

Storage & Spill Containment Of Bulk Liquids In Drums, IBC's & Tanks – Is Your Site Compliant?
Published 02 Dec 2016
Site Storage – Is Your Site Compliant?
Spill Containment
The incorrect storage or poor management of liquids can have far reaching consequences for your business and the environment and although The Oil Storage Regulations are amongst some of the most highly publicised regulations currently in force it's all too easy to forget that all liquids pose a potential threat to health, safety and the environment if not properly handled and stored – in the following article we discuss the need for spill containment in both industrial and hazardous areas.
Remember you are responsible for all the liquids on your site and you can be prosecuted for a pollution incident that originates on your site even if it was caused by vandals.
It's relatively straight forward to ensure that you are protected by using products specifically designed for the task, such as rotationally moulded polyethylene spill pallets for indoor applications, bunded drum and and IBC stores with fully seam welded sumps for secure outdoor use and double skinned storage tanks for bulk liquids.
The following information about spill containment will help you determine the correct system to suit your specific requirements and when used in conjunction with other measures including good housekeeping, spill kits and training, will substantially reduce the risk of an incident.
As a starting point the following questions will generate the information required to help you ensure you store products correctly and safely:
Selecting Spill Containment
for Drums & IBC's
- What are the liquids?
- Is there a fire, explosion or vapour release risk associated with any of the liquids?
- Is the storage area classified as a hazardous area?
- Is there a requirement to store any of the liquids separately?
- How many litres of each product do you want to store?
- Are you looking to bulk store, or use drums & or IBC's?
- Will the liquid be stored indoors or out?
- If indoors are there any access issues with regard to the location?
- If outdoors are there surface water drains or a water course in the vicinity?
- How will the liquids be delivered to site?
- How will they be moved around the site?
The MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for the liquids you use will provide much of the detail required to answer questions 1, 2 & 3 but you should also talk to the manufacturer for advice on issues such as segregation of liquids, possible explosion risk and vapour release hazards.
Determining the amounts (litres) of product you have on site and in what types of container (205ltr drums, 1000ltr IBC, bulk tanks etc) is fundamental to ensuring you don't end up with product stored in a way that will lead to an incident.
Don't forget to include used, empty containers which are likely to have residues in them and must therefore still be stored correctly too.
You must consider the location of the storage area with great care to minimise the risks of damage to the environment, the health and safety of your employees and the public. It must be located somewhere that if liquids leak or spill, you will not pollute the air, land, surface or ground waters.
It goes without saying that your storage containers (bunded stores, spill pallets etc) must be designed with environmental protection in mind. This means that the bund and any storage units or spill pallets must be able to contain at least 110% of the volume of the largest container or 25% of the total volume stored, whichever is greater and you must check that they are made of a material that is compatible with the chemical you are storing.
Don't forget to consider how you protect the drums or IBC's when they are being moved around the site, bunded trolleys or mobile spill pallets are ideal but remember to properly secure the load before setting off.
If your bund is unprotected rainwater will collect in it and reduce its capacity, you must always check the contents before disposal to ensure you don't cause a pollution incident by discharging contaminated water.
It is against the law to discharge anything into the sewer that could harm or interfere with the treatment or disposal of the sewer contents. If you allow rainwater from bunds to enter surface waters or ground waters you must have an Environmental Permit or registered exemption in England and Wales, a discharge consent or groundwater authorisation in Northern Ireland or authorisation under the Controlled Activity Regulations (CAR) in Scotland.
If you have an emergency safety showers on your site, ensure that any used water after an incident is disposed of in the appropriate manor as it may be contaminated. You can dispose of this water to the foul sewer, but you will need permission from your water company or water authority first. You must dispose of all contaminated water as hazardous/special waste.
Don't forget areas where you have smaller amounts of liquids such as laboratories, test rigs, workshops or vehicles. The same rules apply but you may only require a laboratory cabinet (Flammable liquids must be held in a fire-proof steel cabinet, the current legal requirement in the UK is a single skinned cabinet) to store the liquids in.
Remember to consider segregation issues when storing different liquids together and ensure that the cabinet is secured to the floor and/or wall to prevent it toppling over, avoid the temptation to store liquids directly on the floor, even on a temporary basis, and always avoid storing above eye-height, or on top of cupboards or cabinets. Wear/use PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) as appropriate at all times.
Consider if you need to install Emergency Safety Showers for the prompt de-contamination of anyone who may have been caught up in an incident.
If you already have showers in place; are they fully compliant with the temperature and flow rate over time requirements of the internationally recognised ANSI Z358.1 2009 standards? (Minimum of 75.7ltr per minute of tepid water for a minimum of 15 minutes).
Are they located within 10 seconds "travel time" of recognised hazard areas?
Keep an inventory of the liquids you have on site and ensure it is kept somewhere it can be accessed easily out of hours for use by spill responders or outside agencies.
It's important that your staff are trained and know how to deal with any spills that may occur, and that you have a pollution incident response procedure in place.
If you store lots of liquids or have a chemical warehouse, you should consider installing a spill alarm so that you can evacuate the building in the event of spill. You may need a major accident prevention policy under the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) Regulations.
Ensure that you have spill kits, containment equipment and drain sealing products suitable for the type and quantity of chemicals you store and use on your site. Remember it's always better to try and keep any spill above ground and deal with it there.
Locate your spill response equipment close too and remote from any area that poses a risk and remember to ensure its location is marked on your site plan (again available to staff or outside agencies) and that the equipment is highly visible and not hidden behind anything that will restrict access.
Never hose a spill down the drain you could cause a much worse pollution incident.
Remember if you cause pollution you could be fined and prosecuted.
When considering the storage of flammable liquids, over and above all the previously mentioned there are strict adherences concerning separation distances. This is the distance the flammable liquids must be stored from occupied buildings, boundaries, process units, flammable liquid storage tanks and or sources of ignition.
If you can achieve the relevant distance you can use a standard single skinned, fully bunded storage unit to hold your flammable liquids. If you can't achieve the relevant distance the storage unit needs to be constructed to provide a minimum of 30 minutes fire resistance to comply with UK legislation.
The safe storage of flammable liquids in process areas, workrooms, laboratories and similar working areas requires additional careful and informed consideration.
The Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR) require risks from the indoor storage of Dangerous Substances to be controlled by elimination or by reducing the quantities of such substances in the workplace to a minimum and providing mitigation to protect against foreseeable incidents.
There are 3 elements required for a fire to start:
Heat – Oxygen – Fuel
If you eliminate any one of these elements, you eliminate the fire
Heat can be any ignition source which generates heat, such as a mechanical spark, static electricity, a naked flame such as from welding equipment etc.
Oxygen is all around us.
Fuel can be any flammable or combustible liquid, remember flammable vapours are a significant hazard too.
Flammable liquids
Store flammable liquids in a separate area in purpose made bins or cupboards that are compliant with UK regulations and when dispensing, ensure there is good ventilation and no sources of ignition.
Always keep containers closed when not in use, whenever possible use safety containers with self-closing lids and flame arresters and always have the appropriate spill kit available too.
Flammable Dusts
Flammable dust in the atmosphere can if ignited and or explode violently, so if you handle flammable dusts you need to remember to keep your plant dust-tight and regularly clean the area to keep it dust free.
Don't forget to vacuum any spills as they occur, remember you will need intrinsically safe equipment.
Flammable Solids
Many types of packaging material (plastic foam, polyester wadding, textiles etc) give off dense black smoke when they burn so remember not to store them close to heaters or electrical equipment which could act as an ignition source.
Flammable Gases
Gases are often stored at very high pressure and any uncontrolled release can fill a large area quickly, this is particularly true of liquefied gases such as LPG. You should store cylinders in a designated area in purpose built stores and always restrain the cylinders and try to protect the valves from potential impact damage.
Materials that ordinarily burn slowly will burn vigorously in an oxygen rich atmosphere so in the same way that you protect flammable gases you must store any oxygen in a secure and controlled manor and over and above that, remember never use oxygen instead of compressed air, never use oxygen to sweeten the air in a working area or confined space and never use grease or oil on equipment containing oxygen as they can self ignite.
Reactive liquids
Some products have chemicals such as organic peroxides as part of their composition which can explode if not stored and handled correctly. Whilst other substances can react with incompatible materials or contaminants in an explosive manor, for example oxidising chemicals can cause flammable materials to ignite and some substances such as sodium react violently and can ignite when they come into contact with water.
Storage and process temperatures should be controlled in line with recommended levels so check the MSDS or contact the manufacturer's help desk for information/advice to prevent dangerous decomposition or reactions.
Explosion Risk from Flammable Gas, Mists, Vapours & Dusts In Hazardous Areas
The risk of explosion and or fire from flammable gases, mists, vapours or even combustible dust is ever present in a great many working environments. Once the substance mixes with the air all it needs is a source of ignition to cause an explosion. It goes without saying that this scenario can lead to serious injuries and or a loss of life as well as significant damage to property.
Preventing the releases of dangerous substances, which can create explosive atmospheres, and preventing sources of ignition are critical to reducing the risk of an incident and with the onus for ensuring your products are stored correctly and your handling and use procedures are safe and fully compliant being your responsibility, it is key that you fully understand the hazards associated with those products.
Information from Material Safety Data Sheets and manufacturer's help desks are invaluable sources of accurate facts and manufactures of safety equipment such as fire rated storage units, earthing wires, or flammable liquid transfer containers will of course offer specific advice too. Please don't forget to consult with your local authority fire brigade and your insurance provider.
Some questions worth considering when working with flammable substances are:
- Is there good natural air movement in and around where the flammable substances are stored and used? If not you may have to consider mechanical air changes. Good ventilation will mean that any vapours given off from a spill, leak, or release will be rapidly dispersed.
- Have all the obvious ignition sources been removed from the storage and handling areas? You need to think outside the box as an ignition source can be very varied, sparks from electrical equipment, welding or cutting tools, hot surfaces, open flames, static charge etc.
- An explosion can even be caused by the simple action of decanting a flammable liquid from one container to another if they have not been earthed.
- Are your flammable substances kept in the correct type of container? Does it need to be fire rated? Or if there is a spill will it be contained and prevented from spreading? Dependant on the quantity of product involved and the separation distance you may need a fire rated storage unit.
- Can you replace a flammable substance for a less flammable one? Or can you eliminate it from the process completely? Processes and products evolve, check with your supplier(s) and see if they can help you redesign yours to make it safer.
- Are your flammable substances stored and used in a different area to other processes? By separating them you will lessen the risk of an incident and improve workplace safety.
For practical purposes where flammable liquids are required in a process, there is likely to be a need for a limited quantity to be stored and available in the workplace. It is the responsibility of the employer / duty holder when carrying out their risk assessment to justify the need to store any particular quantity of flammable liquid within the work room / working area.
However, the guiding principle is that only the minimum quantity needed for frequently occurring activities or an amount required for use during half a day or one shift should be present in the work room / working area. Actual quantities will depend on the work activity and also the arrangements for controlling the fire risks.
When not in use, containers of flammable liquids needed for ongoing work should be kept closed and stored in suitable fire resistant cabinets or bins which are also designed to retain spills. They should be located in designated areas that are where possible away from the processing area don't interfere with any escape route from the working area.
Flammable liquids should be stored separately from other dangerous substances that may enhance the risk of fire or compromise the integrity of the container or cabinet / bin it's stored in; for example, oxidizers and corrosive materials should be stored separately from each other.
Remember other dangerous substances may also be flammable in their own right however, it is still inappropriate to store these in the same cabinet / bin with flammable liquids. For further guidance on energetic and spontaneously combustible substances please consult HS (G) 131 published by the HSE.
The HSE recommends that the maximum quantities that are stored in cabinets / bins are no more than 50ltr for extremely flammable, highly flammable and those flammable liquids with a flashpoint below the maximum ambient temperature 30ºC of the working area; and no more than 250ltr for other flammable liquids with a higher flashpoint of up to 55°C. These quantities are intended to be viewed as recommended maximums and represent good industry safe practice, rather than being taken as the absolute limits.
There can be some flexibility with the limits of the quantities stored, where it is understood that the design of the building and or the pattern of work can sometimes make adherence to these quantities difficult.
For example in large or open-plan working areas where the employer / duty holder does identify a need to store quantities in excess of the recommended maximum, they must fully demonstrate the need for this requirement and in particular the risk assessment should take into account:
The properties of the materials to be stored or handled (For mixed storage the worst case situation should be applied, i.e. all materials in the storage cabinets or bin should be considered as being as dangerous as the one that has the lowest flashpoint) the size of the workroom / working area and the number of people working in it. The amount of flammable liquids being handled in the working area and the quantities of liquid that may be accidentally released or spilled.
In the event of an incident the objective is to ensure that people can safely escape from the working area and in this context, the purpose of storing Dangerous Substances in the appropriate cabinets / bins is to provide a physical barrier to delay the involvement of the stored materials in a fire and provide sufficient time for people's safe evacuation and the duty holder's immediate emergency procedures supporting this to be implemented.
It is the responsibility of the employer / duty holder to ensure that cabinets / bins meet the minimum legal requirements. Equally, the use of cabinets / bins with enhanced fire performance should not be seen as a substitute for the provision of a dedicated store room(s) and outdoor storage areas for the safe keeping of containers which are nominally empty or are not needed for current work.
It's important not to overlook any aspect associated with the safe handling of flammable liquids such as static discharge during filling / decanting, combustion due to excessive heat build-up, potential ignition sources such as a spark from a tool or electrical component and pressure build-up in a container.
Please remember to consult with your insurance provider and local authority fire brigade as they will have valuable input that could save you time and money going forward.
An outside pair of eyes will often see things that have become commonplace to you, so you might want to consider using the services of an outside company to assess / review your site.
Empteezy who have more than 25 years experience of manufacturing spill containment and spill response products are the only company within its industry to be accredited to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 & ISO 18001 offers; free of charge and without onus site assessment service.

Medical Statistics
One of the 3 delays identified for death during injury is the delay in reaching an appropriate health care facility, due to lack of affordable and accessible emergency transport
In 2008, the country witnessed 485,000 road accidents in which 120,000 people lost their lives
Trauma has become the leading cause of death in India with Stroke, Wounds and Bone injury cases as the principle reasons of fatality
3 million cardio deaths today up from 1.2 million in 1990 & 25% of total deaths in India are from CVD
Crime Statistics
Delhi witnessed an upward trend in crime graph for the third consecutive year in 2011 as it registered a 4% increase compared to the previous year
A murder is committed every 16 hours In New Delhi
An attempt to murder a person takes place every 23 hours
567 registered cases of robbery and intrusion

Heinous and Non Heinous Crimes
The national capital occupies the top slot for almost all violent crimes with the disturbing trend of crimes such as rape, molestation, murder attempts and kidnappings witnessing a jump in numbers in the recent times. Senior citizens have also not been spared as they are vulnerable and easy targets for the criminals earning a negative reputation for the city.
Delhi's unique circumstances with only under a quarter of the population living in planned colonies, a large migrant population, socio economic imbalances, proximate location of affluent and underprivileged class and adverse sex-ratio importantly amplify crime in the capital.

She had five children, excuse me, six children. Catherine died when she was 16.
Annie was a very hard worker and worried about what she could feed her children.
In the middle of her kitchen she had a large trap door that opened into a large root cellar.
There were jars of fruit and vegetables she had canned. There were also potatoes, apples, and other cans of food she was storing.
My grandfather always ate first before Annie and the children. She always worried if there was going to be enough.
Each time she was low on food she would open the root cellar to see what she could find.
Annie, my grandmother always trusted in God to provide for her family.
I wish that I could trust God as much as my grandmother.
Being a priest makes life much more difficult because my family tells me that a priest should always believe.
Where is my root cellar?
Where is my root cellar?
Perhaps I need to find a place where I know that God will answer my prayers.

HTC EVO 4G :: Downloaded Launcher Pro And Switch Pro AppsJul 25, 2010
I downloaded launcher pro and switch pro apps. Then I installed a non-market app I got from xda (gallery3d if it matters). After installing that app, launcher pro required a force quit. Now I have my switch pro widget near the bottom of the screen on the home screen. When launcher pro reloaded and put back all my widgets, it looks like it sort of mirrored the switch app on the bottom, behind the dock where the phone and contacts buttons are. It's sort of half on and half off the screen. I can't long press on it, or interact with it in any way. I have tried reloading the switch pro widget, but that doesn't do anything. I have also tried restarting launcher pro, which also has no effect. Rebooting the phone also does not solve. Weird, huh? What do you all think?View 5 Replies

What We Do
Supporting Local Art: Ella Skye Art
Power Shift was proud to donate a new responsive website to Ella Skye Art this year. Ella is a young artist who was diagnosed with autism at age 3. Due to limited verbal communication, it is through her art that she is able to share her joyful, abstract world. Ella creates awesome whimsical drawings and we were thrilled to craft her an online store where she could sell her art.
Ella is doing such amazing things, we wanted to do more. So, we created a promotion to go with the new website. Currently, when you mention this post we will donate 10% of the proceeds of your web design project to Ella Skye Art!
You can get prints and note cards with Ella's art on them at her website: ellaskyeart.com or follow her on facebook.

We have all had packages that took longer than expected to arrive at the desired destination, and shop owners handle complaints in numerous ways. But this online shop owner might want to work on his customer service skills. This merchant flew day and night to deliver a beatdown to a customer who complained that her order had not been delivered.
[Scroll Down For Video]
Xiao Die purchased $40 of clothes from Alibaba's Taobao on December 20. After a couple of days went by, Die formally complained about the situation to the online retailer.
In exchange, Die claimed she was sent harassing and threatening messages by who she now believes was the owner, Mr. Zhang.
Three days after she ordered the clothes and complained, Die was sent a message claiming, "I can destroy you." The harassment didn't stop there as she was receiving calls at odd hours of the night telling her to remove the complaint.
The package was scheduled to be delivered on December 27, and Die waited patiently in the designated area to pick up her clothes only to be met by Zhang himself, who proceeded to punch and kick her.
The violent act was recorded on a nearby surveillance footage. One eyewitness seen in the video gets closer to the altercation but does not stop the onslaught of punches and kicks. According to the Daily Mail, Die suffered a concussion, fractured bones, and contusions to her face.
Zhang supposedly traveled over 500 miles to personally deliver the package and to physically assault his dissatisfied customer.
Police reviewing the surveillance footage were able to locate Zhang's home address and flew the same route he had to deliver justice. On January 6, Zhang was arrested.
After speaking to Zhang, it was discovered that the complaint Die had filed against him and his company deducted 12 points from his store rating. Apparently, this was simply unacceptable to Zhang.
Fortunately, Zhang's online store has since been deleted. Watch the attack unfold below.

Mackenzie Bach
Rider Profile
|Mt. Prospect IL
|University of Illinois
|No posts by this rider yet.
Hey there. My name is Mackenzie and I am a freshman at the University of Illinois (currently undeclared). I have bounced back and forth between the northwest suburbs of Chicago and the D.C. area throughout my life but currently reside in Mt. Prospect IL alongside a majority of my extended family. I am the eldest of three siblings, all of us raised by a single mother. With all of this being said, spending time with family and friends is of huge value to me. I am a personable guy and have been involved in sports and clubs for as long as I can remember. In high school I achieved All-American status in track and earned the rank of Eagle Scout. Being apart of the Illini 4000, raising money for a great cause, and biking across the country is my next mission. Through this I feel I can be a voice for those tragically affected by cancer. When I look at 4000 miles now, it seems like nothing when there are more than 14.5 million people affected by cancer... This is why we ride. Time to put rubber to the road, raise money for the cause, and bring hope to millions.
Personal Statement
Cancer is a horrible disease. Approximately 39.6 percent of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lifetimes. My grandmother was affected by both skin and breast cancer and was diagnosed with the latter of the two in February of 1997. Thankfully she beat it but this is not the case for everyone. Just recently, however, my uncle had to undergo chemotherapy for skin cancer and is still battling the disease. It is extremely painful and interferes tremendously with one's daily life during treatment. Along with this, families and close friends take on and weather the pain of their loved one(s) affected. If untreated or incurable, the unthinkable occurs. It is by my will that the Illini 4000 is something I will put every ounce of my soul into as it is the least that I can do. I will complete the road trip with the thought of my friends, family, and any one else affected, in my heart. I am riding for you and for cancer patients around the world. Lets fight this together.

I recently bought a Taschen book on Polaroids. It was a great reminder about the greatness that an imperfect polaroid can be. For a solid year I was the proud owner of a Konica Instant Press Camera, an amazing rangefinder polaroid with manual controls. When Fuji announced they were no longer going to manufacture FP100c film and the prices skyrocketed I decided that I would let it go. In that year I shot hundreds of polaroids. I loved the immediacy and the fact that the quirks and imperfections were part of the charm. Imperfections in my digital shots are usually discarded.
The book motivated me to revisit my polaroids and it also took me to the shots I made on film over the past couple years. Even though I wasn't happy with the results of my film shots last month, when I look at my film shots as a whole I see a lot of great things. Like the polaroids, there is a lot of quirkiness in my film shots that I don't see in my digital work. The happy accidents make the cut on film while I often I throw away the accidents when shot on my DSLR.
I'm always trying to make new work as well as keep myself motivated to shoot. Taking a look at my film reminds me it's good to make mistakes and to embrace the imperfections and possibilities.

Anyone who knows me, knows I love a good DIY project! When my girlfriendShira sent me this charming repurposed dresser she worked on, I couldn't help but share! For under $200 she was able to create a fabulous outdoorvignette that houses all of her favourite summer herbs, while adding flare to her outdoor space! Here's what you will need to recreate this look…
What you will need:
- Find a second hand dresser at a yard sale (as Shira did) or vintage shop, and paint it out to match decor.
- Paint- this is a piece that you might want to transition into your interior decor scheme after the summer season, choose something accordingly, or don't and create something playful and fun!!
- Customize the piece by using unique knobs!
- Go to your local thrift shop and purchase a variety of teacups and plant pots. Stick to a similar colour palette for cohesion! For an eclectic vibe, mix and match an assortment of colours and prints!
- Fill the drawers with all of your favourite herbs, choose different textures and heights to add texture!
- Enjoy in summer salads, beverages, while taking in the fantastic aroma!!

I'm not a juggler, but I play one in life. My titles include: photographer, writer, blogger, artist, board member, educator, problem solver, social networker, and guide, to name a few. They entail various challenges and responsibilities and somehow I manage to keep everything flowing in a controlled chaos. Or rather, before we had Reina, I use to be able to juggle all those items. At some point in my life, Reina became the bowling ball in the juggling act. Sometimes, it's more like a flaming bowling ball. Not in a life-or-death kind of way, but in a "Dear Lord, I've got to deal with this flaming bowling ball right now!" kind of way. Let's face it, when you're juggling tennis balls and someone tosses in a flaming bowling ball, you can't just drop the thing – it would break your floor and then set your house on fire.
Metaphors aside, today, I was actually managing to juggle fairly well when I set out in the afternoon to photograph an event at the Red Gate Gallery (fabulous place if you've never been) and uncharacteristically forgot that my presence was requested at the homestead by 9.30pm. Seems someone had a conference call to run and I was needed in my principal role as Baba to ensure our little bowling ball was asleep. Oops. Realizing the error of my ways (after a reminder text message from my beloved) I set out to return home with time to spare. My intentions were good, but my taxi karma was not and I had to walk some distance to flag down a cab and get on my way.
When I arrived home late and opened the door, Reina shouted from her room, "Baba, I'm not sleeping." She has a knack for the obvious. As I entered her room, she smiled at me and informed me that Mama told her she did not have to go to sleep. I did not confer with Savvy, but I was confident that this was not the case, especially since it was well over an hour past our little bowling ball's bedtime. I offered to read a story to her before turning out the lights. She brought me four books, told me she did not want me to put her to sleep and that she wanted mama to do it. Then she stuck out her lower lip and made her sad face; something I have watched her practice in the mirror a hundred times.
In the end, I managed to get Reina to go to sleep without too much trouble, but in the morning, she's going to be one tired and highly flammable bowling ball.
Now where did I put those oven mitts?

The implications of decreased emotional well-being are related to mental health concerns such as stress, depression, and anxiety. These in turn can contribute to physical ill-health such as digestive disorder, sleep disturbance and general lack of energy.

Members question of the week
Each week we will post a question from a member. If you have any advices for them let us know and will publish the best bits next time.
This weeks question was
"is it ok to run single sex youth clubs nights?"
We run single sex sessions as it gives our young people space to talk about stuff they would feel embarrassed about talking about in front of members of the opposite sex. such as sex, body image and aspirations
We used to, but the girls started to use it just as a power play on the boys and a way of making them jealous , so we stopped. we will restart them later in the year but based around specific
subjects rather than just a session without an agenda
All our sesions are open to both sex's. we promote open discution between the sex's on all subjects so they understand how others feel. It all comes down to how good the youth worker is in facilitating the group

Whether you're an artist sitting on a hot bed of creation and not sure what to do with it, or a total music junkie that just wants to know more about your favourite underground labels, our fresh Imprinted series is for you! We'll be speaking with label bosses around the world, uncovering sound influencers city by city; it all begins here in our very own backyard Toronto! We've rounded up 4 labels who not only support home-grown talent, but also garner attention from artists worldwide, further cementing Toronto's place as a creative hub for musicians. Welcome and thank-you to My Favorite Robot Records, For the People, All Blak Records and Aquaregia for being Toronto's Imprinted ambassadors!
When was your label launched? What was the first release?
We launched the label in 2008 with our tune "In The Dark" with remixes by Montrealer Jordan Dare and Paris based Slok. A dark electro doozie.
It still amazes us everyday that something we started without any grand expectations became such a globally respected brand and took us on such an amazing adventure in life. Very grateful to everyone involved in the last 10 years. Here's to the next 10!
In four words, please describe your label's sound.
Dog whistle for connoisseurs 😉
Can you share with us 1 or 2 releases that you feel most proud of. What makes these releases special to you?
Jori Hulkkonen's Negative Time album in February of 2013 stands out as a milestone, as it was the first full length artist album we released on the label and it came from an artist we had always aspired to work with.
Our EP Want Some that came out in April of 2017 is also a milestone, as it's the first one since we went back to being a duo, like we were when we first started the project.
Who oversees the label's artwork?
We both are involved in choosing the art work for the releases. The art work has been brilliantly done over the years by our good friend Avrom Coodin and more recently has included some great original work by Tatiana Pemova.
Growing up, one of the most influential labels for us was…
Factory, Creation, Parlophone, Paper, Playhouse, Turbo
The best way to get your music into the hands of a label owner is…
Do your research on the label you want to release on. You have to make sure that your music fits with the style and concept of the label you're after. We try to listen to all the demos we are sent, but it's always puzzling when we are sent music that is night and day from what we do. And no need to write a long bio when sending a demo. Let the music speak for you. We don't need to know that you have pulsating bass lines and that you first got the music bug from your papa playing you some Liberace when you were 4. Although the latter would peak our interest for sure…
The worst way to try and get your music into the hands of a label owner is…
Spamming the label owners with demos on a constant basis almost guarantees you won't get signed barring some miracle. If you get rejected, take some time between sending a demo again and make sure it's suited to the label.
Tell us about a recent release…
We were very excited to release Jori Hulkkonen's 3rd full length album [September 15, 2017] Don't Believe In Happiness. We're grateful he supports our label and has become part of the family along with many other amazing artists.
Explain the name behind your label — where did it come from?
Talal came up with the name "For The People" for a set a few years ago. We all agreed it was the perfect name for our collective, as we just want people to have a jolly good time and never compromise in the experiences we have to offer. Our showcases are immersive for this reason, so people can be surrounded by culinary treats, visual art and music.
[Genre] restricts experimental creativity and limits musical influences and inspiration that may otherwise elevate a piece of art. The best music transcends genres!
When was your label launched? What was the first release?
Our first release was February 2, 2017 with the Toronto family united. Between the Lines by Talal and Zoi with remixes by Alberto Jossue and Nature of Music that hit #5 on the beatport charts.
In four words, please describe your label's sound.
spacious. fresh. intelligent. fun. fruits.
Who oversees the label's artwork?
Amal Peerzada is the head art curator and Talal teams up with her to bring it all to life.
The 3 most important qualities to have as a label owner/ manager are…
- Being selective
- Having the ability to spot talent
- Giving constructive criticism.
The best way to get your music into the hands of a label owner is…
Be sincere! If you hand a label owner a USB or even send a demo email, know what you're talking about and don't spam labels with all your tracks.
In the next few weeks, expect to hear ____ released on our label:
The Lost Boy album!
The problem with 'genres' is …
It restricts experimental creativity and limits musical influences and inspiration that may otherwise elevate a piece of art. The best music transcends genres!
The best part about being based in Toronto is…
Multiculturalism and the diverse identity expressions we are surrounded by!
Explain the name behind your label — where did it come from?
Ever since I first heard Phuture – Acid Tracks, I've been obsessed with the squelchy sound of the 303. This obsession inevitably injected itself into the label, and I wanted a name to reflect that. Aqua Regia is a mixture of strong acids, capable of dissolving noble metals such as gold. I also have a background in chemical engineering, so with being around acids in the lab all the time 'Aquaregia' seemed fitting.
In four words, please describe your label's sound.
Acidic, melancholic, atmospheric techno.
Can you share with us 1 or 2 releases that you feel most proud of. What makes these releases special to you?
I'm proud of all of our releases – but I usually have a bias towards the latest release.
For example, the Aurora Centralis EP, released in June 2017. The expertly crafted EP from 747 explores the different personalities of the 303 – from robotic, alien communications to natural, voice-like melodies. The release, especially the title track, are so surreal and entrancing; an emotional cosmic trip that I just can't stop listening to. As a label owner it's also been super exciting to see some of my favourite DJs playing out tracks off the EP, like Dr. Rubinstein at Berghain and I Hate Models.
Aqua Regia is a mixture of strong acids, capable of dissolving noble metals such as gold.
The best way to get your music into the hands of a label owner is…
If the label has outlined a demo procedure, then definitely follow that; include a few tracks that could be an EP – it's hard for a label to do much with just one, and make the message personal. If it seems like you emailed the demo to 100 different labels, then that's usually an automatic no for me.
It's also important to ensure that your music genuinely fits with the label's musical direction, and that you as an artist believe in the label's vision. I can't tell you have many demo EPs I've gotten for Aquaregia where 0 of the tracks are acid…
Aquaregia is such an emotional and personal project to me, and in order to bring a new artist on board they need to show a sense of commitment to the label. I think it's really important for the label and artist to entwine their visions and to build a symbiotic relationship.
Who oversees the label's artwork?
I do : )
In the next few weeks, expect to hear ____ released on our label.
747. The second instalment of the Vancouver/Berlin artist's four-part Paleo series will be out on February 23. The series explores the geological past of our planet through ACID, with the final segment on wax as a double EP. Paleo Pt. II delivers a duo of hypnotic, acid-drenched cuts and embodies 747's signature emotive style of organic acid lines over celestial pads. This is definitely one of my favourites!
A label that I deeply respect/ admire is ___ because…
Ilian Tape. The Zenker Brothers don't follow any trends and always put out great music! You get quality over quantity with this label and can clearly see the Zenker Brothers following their passion. I really respect that.
In four words, please describe your label's sound.
Groove based house and techno.
Can you share with us 1 or 2 releases that you feel most proud of. What makes these releases special to you?
Our two Various Artists compilations have both served as important musical and artistic milestones. They've helped us forge some great relationships with newer and upcoming artists and have also set the tone for the following releases. A third VA is set to be released very soon and the timing couldn't be any better! We're very excited to share it with everyone.
Some our favourite releases have been from artists that spontaneously messaged us.
In the next few weeks, expect to hear ____ released on our label.
We will be releasing an EP from Steve Marto as well as a Various Artists compilation to close off our yearly cycle.
The best way to get your music into the hands of a label owner is…
Direct communication is always the best way in our opinion. Forming some sort of relationship/correspondence with somebody allows for more musical transparency when communicating with each other. It will always give you better insight into the musical common ground that you share together. Having said that, if distance is a factor, then sending an email/message with streaming links to your music can also work. Some our favourite releases have been from artists that spontaneously messaged us. We always listen to every demo that comes in and we always respond back. The most important thing to remember with this however, is to do your research on a label prior to sending your music. If that EP you've been working on has a strong nu-disco flavour then you have no business sending it to a minimal/dub techno label. This seems like it's common sense, but you would be surprised by some of the music that comes in.
Who oversees the label's artwork?
We all discuss the general artistic ideas and concepts together, but Steve oversees the design and illustration of all our visual assets.
The problem with 'genres' is…
Primary genres can be too vague and sub-genres tend to get too pretentious! This is a bit of a touchy topic for some… it's hard to classify dance music into specific genres these days because there is so much cross-pollination that happens within different styles. While a genre can give the listener a general direction of the sound it can also hinder the music with the negative connotations that are associated with that particular category. We saw this happen when "progressive house" was associated with the EDM movement a few years ago. For a while there were a lot of true and time-tested prog artists that were releasing their music under the "deep house" category just to avoid the repercussions of being labeled as prog-house (which in turn makes another mess entirely).
More recently, we've seen this with the general backlash against "tech-house" and it's stereotype as "attention-demanding" and "generic party music". Is this true for a lot of releases in that genre? Yes. Does this mean that everything under this category fits that stereotype? Absolutely not; but how else do you classify a song that has influences from both house and techno? In our opinion, it's best to take these categories with a grain of salt and just let the music speak for itself.
One artist we'd really like to work with one day is…
There are a ton of artists that we respect and admire who are coming up or already established in the scene, so to name just one is a little difficult. Some artists we would like to work with are 2Vilas, ADMNTi, Akyra, Einzelkind, Janeret, Nick Beringer, Nitin, Oshana, Paolo Rocco, Priku… the list goes on and on!

Colonialism, Postcolonialism, and Diaspora in Terms of Translation
Mishra, R. K., IUP Journal of English Studies
In the context of 'colonialism', 'postcolonialism', and 'diaspora', 'translation' as a metaphor is taken into account in this paper. Translation is not new but to examine 'colonialism', 'postcolonialism', and 'diaspora' in terms of translation looks a little new. Translation is a junction where two languages and two cultures meet only to result in impurity, artificiality and undecidability. Since translation involves social and power relations, it underwent a chequered career. During 'colonialism', translation helped colonizers consolidating colonial regime which turned traitor in 'postcolonialism' and diasporism. The base term for ' colonialism' is colony. If translation is taken for granted in its etymological use (to carry across), a colony means a second copy of the original located somewhere on the globe. And therefore, 'colonialism' refers to the acts of settling down a colony elsewhere on the map. Thus, both terms 'translation' and 'colonialism' involve the acts of displacements and relocation. Colonizers, to ensure safety, and continuation of their hegemonic rule over natives, invoked translation as a tool for seizing power and pelf. Postcolonialism is mainly marked by its oppositional stance to the self-centered homogeneous topology of 'colonialism'. It employed mainly 'mimicry' and 'hybridity' as two avataras (incarnations) of translation to serve the 'postcolonial' purposes of getting colonial ideology and belief fragmented, fissured and flawed. Diaspora which deals with dispersed communities worldwide examines translational and transnational nature of diasporics and diasporic experiences. Culture and identity never remain constant. They always modify and get modified in turn. The concept of 'diaspora' in all cases bears the sense of translocation, displacement or de-territorialization. Hence, translation is an apt metaphor for 'colonialism', 'postcolonialism' and 'diaspora'.
The term 'translation', during and after the colonial period, has been unique and a useful weapon for subjugation and communication. In the preparation of this paper, it has been sought to evaluate, appreciate and ensure the applicability and usefulness of translation trope. Invariably, it has served divergent purposes as per calls of various power setups. Frankly, 'colonialism', 'postcolonialism', and 'diaspora', widely debated critical terms, can be demystified by the potential of translation. In this paper, all relevant as well as needful opinions of various critics have been taken into account, especially those associated with 'colonialism', 'postcolonialism', and 'diaspora' studies.
Translation Versus Colonialism
Translation simply means a second copy of the original. The word 'translation' by its etymology means to bear/carry across. In this sense, 'translation' may refer to displacement/dislocation as well as the relocation of something. Translation, in other words, refers to the act of thinking one thing by two ways concomitantly. Mikhail Bakhtin, in Discourse in the Novel (written in 1934-35), focuses on the traveling nature ofwords in language system. He argues that words never remain neutral. It becomes one's own only when it is appropriated and adopted for semantic and expressive intentions, as they keep on serving other people's intention.
The base term for 'colonialism' is colony. If translation is taken for granted in its etymological use, a colony is a second copy of the original located somewhere in the world. And therefore, colonialism refers to the acts of setting up colonies (second copies of originals) elsewhere on the map. Colonial history is largely characterized by violence, and exploitation of non-white, non-Western others and hierarchical discrimination between center and periphery, metropolis and colonies and signified and signifier. Colonizers to ensure security and safety, and for the continuation of their hegemony over natives employed both 'ideological' and 'state' apparatuses. …

Not even a year old and The Great British Cupcakery has taken Newcastle Quayside by storm. Not only is it a family business but all of the wholesome cakes and treats are baked on the premises. The GBC is nothing short of otherworldly.
The interior is wonderfully kitsch, with hanging chandeliers and matching china tea sets, you'll be transported to a relaxing paradise wherein choosing between the Creme Egg and Peppermint brownies are your only worry.
This tearoom is quintessentially British and offers a wide range of services – it's not just for your elevenses/twelveses/oneses… you get the picture. GBC also boasts a bespoke celebration cake service, with a huge range of flavour, colour and icing combinations.
Tyne and Dine recommends:
Afternoon Tea at GBC is an absolute must for any ladies who lunch – fellas, I'm sure she'll let you tag along. Booking is essential, especially on Fridays and weekends as the GBC has acquired quite the following over the last few months, and you won't want to leave empty-bellied.
The Afternoon Tea menu can be seen on the website, and at just £19.95, it shines brightly above its corporate neighbours on the Quayside.
