The Wisdom of Tears is an online resource and journal on life, abuse, spirituality, and healing.
My deepest hope for this blog is that, in sharing my personal healing journey, I could give something good to the world: hope, affirmation, healing, and insight. If I could help others with what I've learned through all those hard experiences, I can live with the fact that I had them. :')
It's also an open invitation to anyone who may want to learn more about abuse and the healing journey from it. Maybe you're on that journey (or if not, want to be). Maybe you know someone else who is. Maybe you're in a position where such a person would be under your care (a parent, a teacher, a counselor, a member of clergy, a concerned friend/neighbor, etc). If so, this blog is for you.
I must warn you though: This blog is not always safe for readers under a certain age, nor for those sensitive to certain topics. You may also just know me in person, and may not want to know me to this depth (understandable; the feeling might be mutual).
While my experiences don't define me, they are a part of my healing journey; one can't heal from wounds she doesn't have. All the same, the last thing I want to do is (re)traumatize anyone with what I went through, which does include: child sexual abuse, emotional/psychological abuse, religious abuse, abusive enablement, self-harm, depression, suicidal ideation, etc.
If that's you, and you still want to read on, be sure to do so at your best judgement. Make sure to take breaks if you need, and to take care of yourself. There's no shame in tears, and no shame in taking care of yourself. ❤
That all being said, my Archives page has all my posts from oldest to newest if you'd like to journey with me from start to finish. Otherwise, feel free to navigate via the menu above~
Creator Corner
Most people call me Ana, though I also go by Walphish. I'm (currently) the sole writer, editor, illustrator, web/graphic designer etc. of The Wisdom of Tears. While I didn't go to school for most of this, I read, drew, wrote, and yes, cried my way through life, the good as well as the bad. It's been quite the journey, so thanks for coming with. ^_^
Oh, and I'm a huge geek.

Our study will explore whether dogs might enhance human health and well-being, in part, by working as probiotics in older people by enhancing their overall health. The research is being sponsored by Fintech Ltd as part of the company's science contribution program.
Dogs as Probiotics for People
We think dogs might work as probiotics to enhance the health of the bacteria that live in our guts. These bacteria or the "microbiota", are increasingly recognized as playing an essential role in our mental and physical health, especially as we age.
Everyone knows dogs are "man's best friend." But have you ever wondered, in addition to this emotional bond we have with dogs, whether there is a biological component that actually improves the health of both dogs and humans? These are the questions being explored in a novel study we are currently planning at the University of Arizona's Department of Psychiatry in partnership with the Humane Society of Southern Arizona and colleagues at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Why the Microbiome is Important
Thanks to recent advances in science, we know that the majority of the bacteria in our guts are an essential part of our ecosystem and are vitally important to maintaining all aspects of our physical and mental health. We know that not all bacteria are good; we can get very sick from the "bad" bacteria, and modern medicine has done a wonderful job of protecting us from various diseases that are created by these bacteria. But unfortunately, it seems, that by eliminating the bad bacteria we've started eliminating the "good" bacteria too.
This "good" bacteria can be thought of like a "probiotic". Through research, we've learned that people who own dogs are much more likely to share the same kinds of these "good" bacteria with their dogs. (5) We have also learned that children who are raised with dogs are less likely than others to develop a range of immune related disorders, including asthma and allergies.(2,3,4) Suggesting that maybe dogs are enhancing the "good" bacteria in our bodies, and possibly improving our health.
We've all heard about probiotics through pills and yogurt, but what if owning a dog had the same effect on us? And what if they help improve the immune systems of the whole family?
Understanding the Microbiome Connection Between Older People and Dogs
We are doing this study in older adults specifically to see if the changes science has shown for children can be replicated in older people, and to see if dogs can improve the physical and mental health of these adults.
If dogs act as a sort of probiotic for dog owners, is it possible that they can have this same effect on people who haven't lived with a dog ever or for a long period of time? In addition to bacteria, dogs are just great companions, so we are also interested in looking at whether the introduction of a dog into the home of older adults improves their sleep, their muscle and bone strength, their ability to move around, and their overall happiness and quality of life.
How can I get involved?

HARBOR SPRINGS — For Charlevoix's seniors, this was where it all began. But they weren't going to let it end here.
The Rayders won their first-ever girls' soccer district title at Harbor Springs in 2005. They're well on their way to the second after Wednesday's 4-0 win over Harbor Springs. It had been the Rams who ended prematurely Charlevoix's postseason aspirations in the two years following that inaugural district title.
Charlevoix, 15-2 and ranked sixth in the state coaches poll, will play Burt Lake Northern Michigan Christian Academy for the Division IV district title 5:30 p.m. Friday, May 30 at Harbor Springs.
"Harbor Springs had been our nemesis the last couple seasons, but the girls felt pretty confident coming in here," Charlevoix coach Carol Madison said. "These seniors won it here as freshmen, and they weren't going to be denied."

- Abstract
Let's make some reflections on "Competitive Advantages" of Companies. This premise will help to develop the subject from a big picture towards greater detail in the definition of the Social Management competence andof the Project Management role and responsibilities.
Competitiveness is what many Companies are looking for, but this in most cases is achieved with the reduction of the cost of the products for the Clients.
Competitive Advantage is achieved when aCompany has the ability to deliver a superior performance that is positively evaluated by the Clients and valued above the simple product value.
These kinds of abilities are normally declared in the Company "Mission" so to be properly communicated internally in the Company and well perceived by Clients.
The Companies operating through Projects must achieve the Company "Mission" through the management of Projects.
This implies that the Project Managers of the Company will be increasingly aware of their role and shall be competent to interpret the Company "mission" in strategic terms and to operate it in practice.
The Social Accountability program of a Company is an area of potential acquisition of Competitive Advantage.
The Project Management competences should be raised to allow a Superior Performance, specifically when the project execution conditions are very difficult and complex.
- Competitive Advantage versus Competitiveness
Let's make some reflections on "Competitive Advantage" of Companies.
Companies which operate their business through Project Management principles and methodologies are normally focusing their business targets towards the Client's satisfaction. A satisfied Client is the recognition of the ability of the Company in delivering Projects with success. This Company strategy is normally clarified in the Company and Project Management mission statements.

There's a first time for everything.
I've decided that there is a reason why nothing ever seems to go to plan for me, and that's because otherwise I wouldn't have anything to blog about.
You may have read my tale about missing a time trial last week due to an impromptu dog rescue. (If you haven't, and you want to, it's at the end of this post.) This week, I tried again. I made it to the TT with plenty of time to spare. The 12 mile ride from home was lovely and sunny – and no stray dogs in sight. I signed up, pinned on my number and rode to the start line. Chatting to some friendly riders in the queue, I admitted this was my first time trial – "But you know the course, right?" was their response. Well, if "know the course" means have looked at it on a map, seen it goes 5 miles in a pretty straight line, turns around, and comes back 5 miles on the same road, then yes – I knew the course. How hard could it be?
A kind chap from the club organising the TT held my bike and gave me a push start. Looking back at my Strava stats, I rocketed straight up to 30mph but slowed down quickly after my speedy start. It was unforgivingly windy – I kept on the drops and tucked myself in as much as possible but I still felt like a giant kite trying to go the wrong way. As the guy who set off after me overtook me within the first couple of miles, I told myself that it wouldn't have happened if I was wearing TT kit and riding a fancy bike…
I deliberately hadn't set myself any kind of time target, I was just keeping in mind the advice of a friend: "if you're not sick at the end, you didn't go hard enough." I pushed myself pretty hard, but I could have pushed much harder (..next time).
Another couple of riders overtook me in the second 5 miles, having looped around the last big roundabout and headed back up the road we'd come down. Despite that, I was feeling pretty good – it was fun, "I could do this again", I thought. You may be wondering where the 'not going to plan' bit comes into play in this particular story. Well I wasn't sick – which for a change was actually my aim, so I suppose that is a fail. But you've yet to hear the best bit…
I took a wrong turn.
Yes, I went the wrong way. On a time trial. When I had already cycled the same bit of road in the other direction.
I straight away realised what I'd done, did some swearing, pulled into a small road, turned around, ignored the cramp in my leg which had kicked in the minute I stopped pedalling, and went back to the roundabout – this time taking the correct exit. I'd guess it cost me 2 minutes max, probably less. Up until that point I'd been feeling really positive. "Lois you f***ing idiot" I muttered to myself, but kept going, and finished in one piece. A result of sorts.
Next week I'll go the right way, and faster.

Everything in the floral section of Hobby Lobby was 50% off, so I decided to make this little spray for my wall. I spent a total of about $8 to make it.
I started with these:
I layed the long stems opposite, like this:
trimmed them to the length I wanted with wire cutters,
then I cut some of the wired branches off the other piece...
and used it to wrap the two stems together, then added more of the curly branches. The beauty of working with wire is that you can bend it to look however you want.
them around with their wired stems until I had this:
I found these paper mache stars at Hob Lob (50cents for the smaller ones, $1 for the bigger one).
Then I lightly brushed them with some metallic paint, so they would look like metal.
This is what I ended up with:

Last year, right around this time, I had the opportunity to visit some friends in Seattle during my spring break. Because my friends were working or in school, I spent much of my first morning and afternoon alone, wandering the city on foot. It seemed like every time I turned around, the iconic Space Needle was in the background, presenting itself in a unique way. Here are some photos from that day:

I have been thinking about this kombucha thing, and I can understand if something contains alcohol and could inebriate people it should be labeled, but honestly, I have only heard of a few people becoming intoxicated from drinking it, and those were extreme cases where they consumed a lot at once. The natural fizziness from the fermentation, I believe, keeps most people from drinking down or guzzling it, which is what would be necessary in order to truly intoxicate someone. I have drank it many times and never become intoxicated, my son has also drank it many times and not become intoxicated - both the store-bought variety and our homemade. I think this whole thing is really a knee-jerk reaction. I'm angry that something like this can get pulled for something that really isn't an issue (in my opinion), and factory farm products that have repeatedly made people sick & will continue to do so are still allowed on the shelf.

I've drank A LOT at once...oh, heaven forgive me, and never felt anything other than slightly mellow. In today's world, that's a nice feeling--much coveted, I'd say. There's more to this story than what's being printed. Like I said, who made the call to Whole Foods? Is this a payoff thing, an FDA attack, or something else? I don't know.
Factory farm products, as you know, are always supported by BIG money; they have too much power behind them to be taken off the shelf like this. Not to say that certain products haven't been removed for containing things that are extremely harmful, as in E.coli, other pathogens, or chemical problems like in Tylenol/children's motrin; however, the natural products are always attacked for more innocuous substances....like alcohol levels. Beer and hard liquors are sold--why does kombucha need to be pulled off the shelves INDEFINITELY for alcohol? That's why making your own, co ops, and small farms are the answer.
I'm almost at the point where I don't care if anyone else is interested in learning about true health--just keep your hands off mine!! Too angry? Sorry. We all have our breaking points. Mine was not being able to quench my thirst this week!! Thanks for writing!

Wow! I hear you!
I have never tried Kombucha. I am afraid it will taste like beer and I hate the taste of beer.
But I have a kombucha baby in my home. I got it from Cultures for Life. Now I just need to take the leap and make some.
I sure hope it doesn't taste like beer...

Haven't made it myself, but the store bought ones are delicious: Especially the ones with juices in them; you can do that to yours. Good luck with that, and let me know how it comes out! Take the leap...be not afraid of this bubbly beverage, my friend; however, you just might love it so much you'll find it a habit you don't want to break!!

Managing Change
We all, have experienced times when our businesses become STUCK!
For example,
…Sales have slowed down yet there's no obvious trigger
…With Innovation, our pipeline is no longer filled with game changers or ideas are taking too long to reach the market, we have to compromise the original appeal or price or investment, and once launched projects are not meeting our expectations
…A competitor seems to be having more success than us lately
…Buyers are demanding better prices and we have less initiatives to counter offer for growth
…Customers are telling us our business needs to change, but it's not so clear specifically what we need to do differently nor how we manage the risks and now we sense inertia is creeping in
Of course, we have tried the usual things, we have some great ideas and there are lots of reasons explaining why this is so, but we are still STUCK!
The smart but difficult thing is to spot this quickly, acknowledge it then act.
Familiar with the boiling frog story?
Even more challenging as we all know from experience, is to act so we address the root cause and not simply chase the many symptoms.
Easy to say when not in the heat of managing the business day to day issues as well as responding to pressure from shareholders, the bank, or employees seeking answers.
Being realistic - when you live and breathe a business, even if you could free up the time, it is hard for you to see your business through a different lens, to dig beneath the surface, to ask the dumb questions and of course will people be courageous enough to voice the things no-one wants to hear?
So, gaining the help of an external person is the next step…but whom?
And will they really unlock what is holding us back or simply give us their formula or worse, tell us what we already know – we know the problems, we have some great ideas, we just can't seem to make them happen!!
And there are not many external people who can quickly understand our business properly or be willing to roll up their sleeves to fix the engine with us.
That's where we come in – Possibilities Realised – the name says it all.

It sounds simple and it can be, but it is so often the barrier stopping businesses perform, especially as companies become larger, they create unintended complexity, hierarchy, scale of risk, miscommunication.

I have been drawing and painting since I was 5 years old. I am mostly self-taught,
although I did take a few summer classes. I thank God for my talent and my mother Rose for her encouragement. I have used this talent teaching children and adults. The times of painting have been moments of contemplation and openness to the Spirit leading me. The
last few years I have been more aware how art can influence people in our culture in reference to the needs of the times especially in the area of justice and healing. I continue to learn daily.

Have you heard the owls lately? On Salt Spring, you are most likely to hear the Barred Owl or the Great-horned Owl.
But Salt Spring is also home to three other species of owl, which are currently considered rare and at risk:
- The Western Screech-owl (kennicottii subspecies) is one of the rarest owls now on Salt Spring. They are Threatened by the federal government and of Special Concern (formerly Vulnerable) by the provincial government.
- The Barn Owl is federally Threatened and provincially Endangered.
- The Northern Pygmy-owl is Vulnerable, according to the province.
Why are owls threatened? Numerous changes to habitat and prey, such as:
- habitat changes or loss—old dead trees and snags provide important sites for nesting and roosting for many owls; when they are removed this affects breeding and population growth
- displacement by other owl species when habitat changes
- decrease in owl prey due to house cats and rodenticides
- consumption of rodenticides, which are powerful anticoagulants that can cause numerous problems for owls
A study in 2009 found that 70% of 164 deceased owls had at least one rodenticide in their livers.
So, what can you do as an island resident to help owl conservation? You can:
- avoid using rodenticides, but if unavoidable, apply in closed or contained areas only, where owls and other animals can't access
- clean up garbage that attracts rodents
- usetraps as an alternative to rodenticide
You can also help protect habitat on your land by establishing a conservation covenant or donating land to create a legacy and protect wildlife habitat in the long term.
Lastly, you can donate to the SSI Conservancy to support our ongoing work to protect and manage wildlife habitat and natural places on the island.

How to Win Friends, Influence People and Screw New Orleans
This made me really angry. President Bush has signed an executive order that suspends the Davis-Bacon Act for the duration of the efforts to rebuild New Orleans and the surrounding area. The Davis-Bacon Act protects the minimum wage for workers on federal contracts by requiring employers to pay the prevailing or average pay in the region.
Let's think about that for a moment. By suspending this Act, Bush is telling companies who are working on federal contracts that they don't have to pay their workers proper wages. Isn't the Federal government supposed to set an example?
Never mind the fact that workers everywhere deserve a living wage, but the people who are going to be doing the majority of the rebuilding of coastal Louisiana are local people - the ones who've lost homes, whose jobs have floated away, who are faced with dangerously unsanitary conditions, unsafe structures and who have to rebuild their own lives as well as their hometowns. And now they're going to be paid even less than they should while doing it.
Never mind that it's a tough, unpleasant and probably emotionally scarring job to do. These are the same people who probably couldn't afford federal flood insurance - who need to save money in order to set up home again, replace lost or ruined possessions. And so their government is doing its bit to help them by chopping their wages.
In short, first Louisianans got screwed by Mother Nature and now they're getting screwed by their own president. Nice going, Dubya.
But wait! It gets better! Who do you think got the lion's share of the big federal projects in and around New Orleans? Of course! Halliburton, that's who (well, Kellogg, Brown & Root is a subsidiary of Halliburton). So not only is Dick Cheney's firm going to make a bazillion dollars out of the whole sad affair, but the government has just said it's OK for Halliburton to pay its workers next to nothing as well.
It's at times like this that the monumentally audacious cronyism and sheer greed of the Republican leadership (and who's to say the Democrats would be that much better?) just takes the breath away. Nothing is scared. Invade a sovereign nation? No problem. Ride roughshod over the collective will of the rest of the world? You got it. Screw the very people who elected us? Hell, yes!
If anyone ever read the Asterix cartoons as a kid, there's a panel in "Asterix in Switzerland" where the Roman governor of Geneva is dividing up the proceeds of the latest tax collection. "This is for you [he gives a handful of coins to his assistant]; this is for me [pours the entire collection into his private chest]; and this is for Rome [puts three coins into a piggy-bank]."
When his assistant asks him if he doesn't think he's overdoing things a little, he replies: "I was elected governor for one year. I have a year to enrich myself! In twelve months I'll be far away from here; far away and rich!"
Substitute eight years for the twelve months and you see how little things have changed over the two millenia that have elapsed.
I'm reassured to see that Bush and Cheney have such a strong regard for history.

The world is on the cusp of major changes in mobile communications and marketing, heralded by the introduction of the iPhone and similar devices such as the Blackberry, Android and Palm Pre.
In March 2009, there were one million iPhone users in the UK, and with Apple expecting ongoing surges in sales, the iPhone is clearly an area ripe for exploitation by B2B marketers.
The big opportunity is in applications, or apps. Many are free, giving their developers an advantage in taking market share or establishing leadership in the mobile space, allied to the kudos of having their logos and company names on Apple's App Store.

Saturday, January 25, 2014
Another older review, this time of a good fantasy collection from Richard Lee Byers. I'm transferring over all my reviews to this blog, if anyone was wondering.
I'd like to start out by saying that "The Plague Knight and Other Stories" was a highly enjoyable page-turner. The stories are classic adventure tales, playing out within a fantasy setting. The character that opens up the collection is Martin Rivers, a knight adventurer, seeking riches, glory, and a patron. He stars in the first three tales, "The Plague Knight", "Kingsfire", and "Castle of Maidens". In the titular story, Martin has been participating in a tournament held by Count Ulrich. His fortunes have been good, and things seem to be looking up for our knight-errant; that is until a spectral plague descends upon the environs, and quickly begins infecting and killing off the populace. Martin quickly shows that he has morals that bely his outward interest in fame and fortune; despite the strenuous and highly level-headed objections from his retainer Geoffrey, he decides to stay on and try to rid the province of the cause of the plague. This is despite being informed that the plague is magical in nature, and that a demon from Hell is the most likely cause. At first trying to push his decision off on the fact that he is trying to find a rich patron, he soon admits that he feels duty-bound, as a knight, to stop the pestilence from spreading. Geoffrey, succinctly implies that Martin doesn't have the brains of a rabbit, but stays on despite his opinion. We are eventually shown the true character of the Count, the actions that brought about the cursing of the land, and Martin's rather outside the box effort to end the curse. A very good story to open the collection. "Kingsfire" is the second story, and opens with Martin questing for Richard Lionheart's lost sword, Kingsfire. He come across a group of brigands falling upon and "elf", and rushes to his aid. He finds that the supposed elf is not what he seems, but throws in with him to complete his quest. I'm not going to say much about this story, other than that I loved it. The inner fan boy almost swooned with joy after reading it, and I don't want to spoil that experience for anyone else. Suffice it to say, I sent a rather gushy message to Mr. Byers, which I should probably be ashamed of, but I stand by it. Why don't we move on, so I can maintain a shred of dignity. The last story featuring Martin is "Castle of Maidens", which is actually my favorite of the three, despite loving all of them. The overall feeling of intrigue and madness, coupled with some good old black sorcery are the main contributing factors for this. Martin and the Bishop of Padua are envoys dealing with the Sultan Ibrahim, negotiating for nothing less than the Holy Grail. All is not as it seems, and a rousing adventure commences, full of backstabbing, sorcery, and an entirely suitable end-game. A very fine tale to close out Martin's involvement in this collection. I must say that I would enjoy reading a collection of nothing but Martin Rivers. A very good character. Next we move on to the next person featured in this collection, Master Selden, a retired mercenary who has become a fencing-master in the city of Balathex. "The Salamander", begins in a rather confusing manner, as we are thrown quickly into the action, without knowing the names or the purpose of the players. However this is quickly rectified, as we are introduced to Selden and the various characters, and the problem driving the story not too long after the opening. Balathex is laboring under a war, both overt and subtle between various political factions. Selden, being both one of the most sought out fencing-masters, and being a very astute fellow when it comes to deducing all things mysterious, has been brought in by the Snow Lynx faction to solve a rather tough nut of a problem. The leader of the Snow Lynxes has been coming under attack through apparently magical means, but no one has been able to suss out the culprit. Despite rival factions within the Snow Lynx clan, several setbacks and dead-ends, Selden manages to finally discover the true enemy. As an opening salvo, this does nicely in introducing the reader to the characters and the environs in which they live. The next story, "Death in Keenspur House" continues the theme of Selden being the person to call when you have a particularly thorny problem. After the first tale, there has been a move towards compromise and the end of the feud between the political factions controlling Balathex is within sight. However, there has been a death, and theft, within one of the most prominent of the houses, prior to the wedding that will finally end the feud between the factions. Despite the suspicions of his clients, and his own failed guesses, he eventually comes upon the instigator of the plot, who is not what he expected at all. This is my second favorite of Selden's adventures. In "The Cheat", we see a story that hits closer to home, for Selden; there is a new maestro in Balathex, and somehow his students are winning at every turn, and the bodies are starting to pile up. Selden decides to expose this man as a cheat, and exact revenge for a dead student killed in a duel. This story introduces a particularly loathsome character named Olissimal, who takes his pleasure from watching duels to the death. Despite this, he is a expert upon fighting styles, and Selden is compelled to curry his favor to gain insight into his knowledge. This transaction is loathsome to Selden, and despite gaining very needed knowledge about his true enemy, does not in any way end well for our hero. After being stonewalled in many attempts, Selden finally discovers what he is looking for. Except, how can he win against it? This is a very satisfying tale. "Light and Dark" closes out Selden's participation in this collection, and is my favorite of his adventures. Selden arrives back in Balathex, after a long sojourn, to find his friend Tregan Keenspur in very dire straits. To help him he must cross into another dimension, and fight his way to an enemy that they had both thought dead. The malaise extends to not just Tregan, but to the entire ruling class of Balathex. If Selden doesn't succeed, everything he has worked for will come to nothing. His adventures in the other dimension are very thrilling, and his allies very odd. Plus, he must not harm anyone he comes in contact with, except the mastermind of the plot. An excellent way to end Selden's adventures in this collection. The second to the last story "Acorns" has Richard playing in another author's universe, and is spot on. I won't go into the characters involved, as I don't want to spoil the surprise, but this is really good stuff. Totally in keeping with the original author's vision, with a original twist from Mr. Byers. Wonderful, in my opinion. The last tale is "St. Paul's Churchyard, New Year's Day". A re-telling of what might have happened when Arthur became King Arthur, and first met Merlin. Not what you would expect, and a very good way to close the collection out. Very nice, despite being short, but this story definitely works. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a rousing adventure tale, and I really hope to see more of these characters in the future.

A booklover who reads anything and loves fairy tales. My favourite books are those from Kerstin Gier, Cassandra Clare and Rick Riordan. My favourite fairytales are Beauty and the Beast and the Sleeping Beauty.
Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book. I liked the way the new world was set up, I liked the characters, I liked the way it was written, and I liked the plot. And yet, I didn't give it 5/5 stars. There were some reasons for this. In this review, I will discuss both positive and negative aspects of the book. I will do my best to not spoil, but maybe I will give some examples (without giving names) that might be a small spoiler.
First and foremost, the writing style. I loved the writing style of Aimee Carter. Every time I started reading this book, I couldn't stop myself. There are some books in which I have this as well, but, considering the fact I'm in a kind of reading slump right now, this doesn't count for all the books I read. It usually takes me some time and pages to really get into the story. For this novel, it all seemed so easy. However, as the story continued, I started losing this feeling. Yes, I still loved the writing style, but there were some other things that turned me down a little. Because of this, it took me longer to finish the book than I had wanted to.
Secondly, the plot. I liked the plot of this novel. It kind of reminded me of Teardrop, which I as well really enjoyed, but than better written (by this I mean it was written in a way that made me feel more involved in the story, whilst it took me quite some time to feel involved in the novel Teardrop). Moreover, it contained Greek mythology, and who doesn't love Greek mythology? However, after this great start of the novel it didn't get much better. I had oped it would, but unfortunately, I only found things getting weird. I believe I was halfway through the book when I experienced this feeling first. Suddenly there was romance, and, even though it was written in first person view point, we hadn't noticed this romance before AT ALL. It is usually true that the main character suddenly realises she likes a certain boy, but as a reader, we could see that one coming from the very very first start. For the Goddess Test, all I could do was guess, but I honestly did not know how it would exactly turn out to be. A love triangle? No love interest? The person who somehow seemed most obvious, but with whom we didn't see any romantic developments? Apart from this, I did like the plot. There were lots of twists that I didn't see coming at all. Actually, I believed the only real turn down of the plot was the romance, which I absolutely didn't like.
Then the characters. I liked Kate. However, sometimes she seemed so weak, whilst at the same time, she was described as brave. I did understand why they called her brave, but they couldn't see/hear/read what she thought. If they did, I think she would have seemed weaker in their eyes too. Next to this small thing, I really liked Kate. She was selfless, and some of her characteristics and choices were relatable to me. Still, I think my favourite characters were Ava and Calliope. I hope that in the sequel, we will learn more about them. Also, I didn't really understand Henry, and get a clear image of him and his characteristics in my head. I hope this will happen in the second novel as well.
In my opinion, this book as just a fun read. It isn't one of my favourites, but I do believe it deserves 3.5 stars. I really hope the second novel will explain the characters and some major plot points better. If that is the case, I am sure I will rate it higher than I rated this novel. And for I forget, I do think people who love Greek mythology should read this book!
P.S. Am I the only one who thinks the cover could've been much prettier?

JON RAHM HEADS to the final round sharing the lead and determined to emulate Spanish greats including the late Seve Ballesteros in capturing the Irish Open at Portstewart.
Rahm, 22 birdied four holes in succession from his 11th hole in a third round of 67 on Saturday to move to 17-under par where he was joined by American Daniel Im.
"Patience was the key for me as I was playing good, making good swings and I was saving a couple of good shots," said Rahm.
"It was just the putts weren't dropping."
The 32-year old Californian-based Im continues to defy his lowly 542nd World Ranking in staying atop of the board in the $7 million event and managing five birdies in his four under 68.
"I loved it today as the weather was great, and there were a lot of people out here supporting us. I just enjoyed every moment of it," said Im.
"I mean, coming down the stretch, I was quite — I had little goosebumps on the back of my — on the back. So I like it."
Frenchman Benjamin Hebert, who shared the lead with Im for the first two days, bounced back from a ninth-hole double-bogey to birdie three of his remaining nine holes in a three-under 69 and trail just a shot behind on 16-under par.
His French compatriot, and also fellow house guest, Julien Quesne equalled Hebert's course record of day one with an eight-under 64 and moments after Australia's Scott Hend had done the same.
- 'Special day' -
It was both the Le Mans-born Quesne and the Townsville-born Hend equal lowest rounds on the European Tour, and with Quesne lying fifth on 14-under and Hend a shot further back.
Rahm arrived in Northern Ireland one of the hottest golfers this season having brilliantly won the PGA Tour's Farmers Insurance Open early in the year and weeks later finishing third in the WGC Mexico Championship before handing World No. 1 Dustin Johnson a shock in the final of the WGC Match-Play Championship in Texas.
Now Rahm could emulate the feats of Ballesteros, Jose Maria Olazabal and current Masters champion, Sergio Garcia in winning an Irish Open.
Ballesteros endeared himself to Irish fans winning three Irish Opens in 1983, 1985 and 1986.
Olazabal won in 1990 while Garcia, as a then 19-year old, won the first of now a dozen European Tour victories in winning the 1999 Irish Open at Druids Glen.
"Well, I'm going to try to make it as least as important as possible so I don't put pressure on myself," said Rahm.
"But it could be a very special day, right. This tournament has a very good Spanish history and it would be amazing to join that.
"Hopefully I can enjoy the day as much as I can, have fun, enjoy the moment, and let's see if I can make a few more putts on the front nine like I've been doing the first few days."
However, Hebert has not ruled himself out of a maiden Tour success in his 136th event, and in what would be a sensational way to end a run of three missed cuts ahead of arriving in Northern Ireland.
"We worked a lot last weekend in France, and the game came back so I'm very happy about this," he said.
"Of course, it's a very good thing to be here in this place, but I just want to do my work tomorrow, and tonight, also.
"I have like two hours of work coming with my physio and my fitness, and good practise tomorrow, and yeah, we'll see what happens on the course."

Miso Soup with Tofu and Veggies
- 4 cups Water
- 1 oz Dried Kelp/kombu
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
- 1/4 cup Kikkoman Aji-mirin
- 1/2 package Firm Organic Tofu
- 1/4 cup Green Onions
- 1/2 cup Cabbage, Raw
- 1/2 cup Premium Snow Peas
- 1 cup Mung Bean Sprouts
- 1/4 cup Organic White Miso
put water and kombu in saucepan. turn on heat and let water come to a simmer. let it simmer a few minutes, then remove the kombu. Let it dry and you can use it again. Add the soy sauce and mirin and stir. Add the tofu and let simmer. You can let it simmer a little or a lot. It's up to you. Add the vegetables and let them sit on top for a few minutes. Stir them in, then add the miso, which you've mixed with some water to a slurry. DO NOT LET THE MISO BOIL! Put it into a bowl and enjoy!
Read more: http://www.livestrong.com/recipes/leilas-miso-soup-tofu-veggies/#ixzz1HOW7rYJU
Generally speaking, after the kombu comes to a simmer and is removed, you would then add bonito flakes and let them sink to the bottom of the pot. Then you would strain the broth and add the soy sauce and mirin. This is dashi. It is the basis for many Japanese soups and sauces. But, Easter Lent means no fish. No fish means no bonito flakes (bonito = fish). So. Kombu, soy sauce and mirin. It works. Especially when you add miso, but even without. Now instead of any of the veggies above, you could use any of the veggies below:
- bamboo shoots (if you go to an Asian Market, you can find fresh packed bamboo shoots vacuum packed in the tofu section, or even better, in season, actual FRESH bamboo shoots. Yum!)
- water chestnuts (if you find fresh ones, they need to be peeled, but man oh man, are they worth it!)
- any kind of mushroom you like (I don't like. Mushrooms that is, but you might).
- baby bok choy
- spinach
- thinly sliced carrot
- radish sprouts (so super delicious).
Also, non-veggies that are great in this soup include (but are in no way limited to):
- buckwheat soba noodles
- udon noodles
- mochi cake (chewy, gooey, and smooshy).
- puffy gluten balls (this is too strange to explain, but there's a picture below).
- also, little doughy flowers (see above, and below).
I have lots of pictures, but here's the little puffy balls and doughy flowers:
Here's the soup making:
veggies kombu

He constantly fails in experimenting with different ideas for the ideal punishment to get the inmates in line, which drives him, together with the sizzling heat, completely insane. Under threats of termination by the Governor, his loyal right hand man Dwight (Laurence R. Harvey) comes up with a brilliant idea. A revolutionary idea which could change the American prison system for good and save billions of dollars. An idea based on the notorious Human Centipede movies, that will literally and figuratively get the inmates on their knees, creating the ultimate punishment and deterrent for anyone considering a life of crime. Having nothing to lose, Bill and Dwight create a jaw-dropping 500-person prison centipede.
References to previous films
- Returning actors from the previous films include Dieter Laser, Laurence R. Harvey, Akihiro Kitamura, Peter Blankenstein, and Bill Hutchens.
- The film starts in a similar manner to the beginning of Full Sequence, with the main character watching the previous movie just as it ends.
- When forcing his secretary Daisy to give him a blowjob, Bill Boss shouts at her "swallow it bitch", which is what Josef Heiter said to Lindsay in First Sequence.
- Bill Boss reads out how the surgical operation is going to be carried out, similar to how Heiter did in the first film. He also says that he will only explain the process once, which is what Josef Heiter said to Lindsay, Katsuro and Jenny. Boss uses a sedation rifle to put his victims to sleep, similar to Heiter.
- A prisoner threatens to rape Bill Boss and Boss' parents with barbed wire wrapped around his penis. Martin Lomax carried out this act on the tail-end of his "centipede", Kim, in the second film.
- In the film, Bill Boss exclaims "Eyes for eyes, teeth for teeth, times 100!" In First Sequence, Josef Heiter says "Eyes for eyes, teeth for teeth" when facing Katsuro in a conflict. Boss also exclaims that he hates human beings, just as Heiter expressed he disliked human beings.
- Like Heiter, Boss kisses his reflection in a moment in which he is proud of himself.

It carries the tagline 100% Politcally Incorrect.
Filming began in May 2013 in Los Angelas and latest plot details suggest it will take place in a prison, especially when Tom Six began a cast callout for men to play prisoners. It was announced Eric Roberts will be playing a role in the film.
On the 6 November 2013, Tom Six confirmed it would take place in a prison and showed off its first poster.
The first publicity shot for the film was released in March 2014, which showed Laurence R. Harvey and Dieter Laser as their new characters inside a prison, with prisoners behind bars flipping them off.
United States
The unrated film was released to theatres and VOD in the United States on 22 May 2015,[2] and received a home video release in October 2015.[3] The film was featured in a Blu-Ray box set that also contained the first two films titled The Human Centipede (The Complete Sequence).[4]
United Kingdom
The film was released to cinemas and VOD uncut in the United Kingdom on 10 July 2015, with an 18 rating from the British Board of Film Classification.[5] The Blu-Ray and DVD releases of the film came on 13 July 2015.[6] The Complete Sequence box set also saw release in the UK.[7] A steelbook edition of the entire trilogy will be released exclusively to the United Kingdom from Zavvi on 26 December 2016.[8]
Final Sequence will receive a home video release in France on 12 October 2016.[The Human Centipede 3 recevra une version Blu-Ray et DVD en France le 12 Octobre ici 2016.][9]
Box office
Box Office Mojo reports that Final Sequence made a domestic gross of $16,184 in its limited theatrical run.[1]
The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence) received generally negative reviews from film critics. Review aggravator Rotten Tomatoes surveyed that 19% of the 43 reviews listed were positive. The critics consensus reads "Human Centipede fans may find enough extreme body horror in the third installment to satisfy, but filmgoers of every other persuasion are strongly advised to stay far, far away from Final Sequence."[10] The film received a Metacritic rating of 5, indicating overwhelming dislike from 15 critics.[11]
James Rocchi of The Wrap gave the negative review, mocking the film's tagline and urging potential viewers "Don't dare yourself to see The Human Centipede 3 because it's '100% Politically Incorrect,' as the poster brags; shun it instead because it's 100 percent boring."[12] Dennis Harvey of Variety also criticised the film, stating that "Tom Six's latest, largest-scaled and most lamentable entry yet in the gross-out horror series manages to be completely obnoxious even before the gross stuff kicks in."[13]
Katie Rife of A.V. Club opined that "Various clues throughout the movie point to satire—the penitentiary in question is the George H.W. Bush State Prison, for example, and Six seizes every opportunity for a Nazi reference he can find. But if the director is actually trying to make some kind of satirical point, and isn't just using this as cover for charges that his movie is a racist, sexist piece of trash, it's a dumb one."[14] Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly stated in his review that "[Tom] Six rubs the audience's face in this filth like a third grader straining to shock. Don't take the bait. Even by the series' already low standards, The Human Centipede Part 3 is crap."[15]
Jeannette Catsoulis of the New York Times called Final Sequence "So much effort; so little entertainment."[16] Kim Newman of Empire gave the film a positive review, calling it "Violent, profane, scurrilous, obnoxious, hilarious-if-you're-in-a-weird-mood and so self-aware it's nearly beyond criticism, this fuses the shock tactics of avant-garde drama with '70s exploitation. Like it or not, Six has contributed something fresh and demented to pop culture."[17]
|36th Golden Raspberry Awards[18][19]
|"Worst Director"
|Tom Six
|"Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel"
|The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence)
In January 2016, The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence) was nominated in the 36th Golden Raspberry Awards for the category of "Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel." Additionally, Tom Six received the nomination for "Worst Director" for his role in directing Final Sequence. Neither Tom Six nor the Final Sequence film won the award in their respective categories.[18][19][20] In response to the nominations, Tom Six proclaimed "If I win a Razzie, I will personally pick it up in LA and give the sickest acceptance speech ever."[21] Six went on to point out that the famed Stanley Kubrick was also nominated for "Worst Director" at one time.[22]
The film was named the second worst movie of 2015 by Entertainment Weekly, with the rationale being "Sleazy sadism served with a wink and a smile, Six's anus-to-mouth trilogy is a satire without any clue of what it's satirizing."[23] A.V. Club also named Final Sequence as the second worst film of 2015, analysing that "Writer-director Tom Six lives for disapproval, and he's finally made a movie that basically no one—not even those amused or unnerved by the past two installments—could possibly enjoy."[24]
Tie ins
Laurence R. Harvey goes for an Audition is an official spin-off video meant to promote Final Sequence. It features Laurence R. Harvey heading to what he believes to be an audition for a Quentin Tarantino film. When arrives, he discovers who really contacted him as he stumbles across Martin Lomax, who is building a new human centipede. Harvey quickly flees the area, much to Martin's dismay.[25]

What do you do, when you don't know what to do?
Posted: Wed, 09 Sep 2015 06:16
Does this ever happen to you?
I'm sure we can all feel like this some of the time, I know I do. As a speaker and trainer, I find I'm often visiting new people in new places and having to think on my feet is part of what I do best.
Thought for today:
The next time you find yourself in a place where you don't know what to do. Don't grind to a halt, Keep Stepping and do what you 'know how to do' instead. That movement and action will spark an element of creativity within you. You may feel the fear of doing the wrong thing in the wrong way, but that's not the full picture.
The tendency most people have in times of challenge and uncertainty is to focus on the negative and see mostly what can go wrong. A Keep Stepping mentality keeps you 'doing' and will keep you 'moving'. There is always a solution!
This way you'll get to solve your problem of not knowing what to do much sooner and you'll grow in confidence and increase resilience at the same time.
Keep Stepping!

Flair, a company in the smart home heating space, have developed a product with the intention of solving the problem of different temperatures suiting different people in the home. Their 'Puck' system changes the temperature of a room based on the preferences of the person in it. It leverages what they call ' the best feature' of a smart-thermostat, its internet connection, in order to personalise the homes temperature, with what promises to be an affordable yet elegant solution.
Smart home technology has found a lot of popularity (the early adopter market) amongst the rental markets in large cities across the USA and Europe. In such situations, houses are often shared, meaning that people come together from different cultures, lifestyles and with different temperature expectations. Some are thus used to hotter homes, others un-heated ones. Families too often have very different temperature preferences.
With the Flair system, you get a 'Puck' controller, which lets you remotely control the temperature, and the 'Flair' which is the smart vent. Puck wirelessly connects with the home thermometer, via the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling it to learn your heating preferences. As individuals will all have access to the thermostat via an app on their individual smartphones, the usage patterns can then be traced easily, and different temperature points can be attributed to different individuals. So if dad always comes home and turns down the thermostat, the system can understand both the starting and ending temperatures. Then if mum comes and boosts it back up to 22 degrees, then the smart-system understands that mum likes a warmer room.
According to the Flair co-founder, Daniel Myers, his system gives users the "power to heat and cool each room to their liking when they're home, and to conserve energy while they're away,". This ability to monitor both heating and cooling will save you 30% on your energy bills, according to the company.
The system can be wall mounted, as illustrated or it can be hidden away, as strictly speaking it doesn't need direct interaction. We are quite fond of the styling though and think it sits well on the wall. The design is under-stated and elegant, without being over the top 'showy'. Its therefore easy to see how it can fit into a range of modern home interiors.
Both the Puck and its accompanying Smart Vent can be pre-ordered at $40 and $60, respectively, on Flair's website and are set to be in the shops, or more importantly in your home, by Spring 2016.

Of Diagrams and Rhizomes: Visual Culture, Contemporary Art, and the Impossibility of Mapping the Content of Art Education
Wilson, Brent, Studies in Art Education
The Conventional Realm of Art Education
What are the boundaries of the field of art education? What should the boundaries be? If the basic character of art changes, if new definitions and theories of art arise, if the artworld transforms itself, and if the visual arts are seen as only one component within the vastly larger realm of visual culture, then should art education also change? Should the content of our school subject correspond primarily, as it has in the past, to the world of artists' studios, galleries, and art museums, or should we expand our field to include urban design, graphic design, product design, and material culture, and what of comics, cinema, and the video arts? What if it were not possible to draw a map of the content of our field? And most importantly of all, what are the pedagogical implications that would arise if it were impossible to diagram the terrain of art education?
Discipline-Based Art Education (DBAE) resulted in a re-mapping of art education in America. In regional professional development institutes established by the Getty Center for Education in the Arts, teachers of the visual arts-with the assistance of artists, philosophers, art historians, art critics, and museum and university art educators-provided the material for a new art museum-based conception of art education (Wilson, 1997a).
The new map showed the art world and related worlds almost as geography. Wilson claims that he saw it as a marvelous multi-faceted "crystal crater" awaiting exploration (1997a, p. 62). He describes imagining institute participants standing at the bottom of a complex, four-sided, geometrically-stepped structure. From this vantage point, the art world extended upward and outward on four sides. Directly above, participants could see the realm of the creative artist, forms of visual art, individual artworks, and their attributes. Located to the left were the domains of individuals who inquire into artworks-historians, critics, aestheticians, archeologists, anthropologists, and others. To the right there were the material contexts -the studios, galleries, art centers, and museums-in which works of art are created, housed, exhibited, and preserved. Finally, the quadrant at the bottom of the diagram revealed other forms of art-music, literature, dance, drama, cinema-and the realms of the humanities and the sciences to which teachers of art were expected to connect the content of art (Wilson, 1997a).
In DBAE institute programs, according to Wilson, participants faced the challenge of exploring the four sides of the vast crater-not so much by scaling its walls as by conceptually stretching lines from one point to another until the art-world realm was crisscrossed with relationships among individual artworks, their themes, their forms, their symbols; the ways artworks are created, studied, and interpreted; and the ways artworks might be related to other works from the arts, the sciences, and the humanities. The diagram represents how DBAE complicated the content of art education. Nevertheless, for all its complexity, it fails to show much of what the contemporary field of art education might be about-and perhaps should be about. The diagram does not account for artworks which never find their way into galleries and museums-say, digital works on the Internet. And the most obvious component missing from the DBAE conceptualization of art education is the vast realm of visual culture.
Envisioning A New Art Education: Problems with Contemporary Blindness
We art educators are typically stuck in the past. In his book, Educating Artistic Vision, Elliot Eisner (1972, pp. 46-48) decried the fact that the American "Picture Study" movement of a century ago presented students with French academic paintings and artworks from the Renaissance and Baroque eras. Eisner explained that while the works of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism had entered the artworld decades earlier, they were not yet found in the literature of art education. …
