The upcoming weekend will stage the last Junior European Judo Cup ahead of the Junior European Judo Championships. The tournament will take place at Cluj-Napoca and although the numbers are lower than previous weeks, for many, it will still be a make or break for their Continental Championships selection. Altogether, almost 300 athletes from 28 different nation will be visiting the northwest of Romania.
The host nation entered 109 judoka with plenty of medal hopes. The second largest entry comes from Ukraine with 34 athletes. Italy, Moldova and Croatia will put over a dozen of judoka at test. The latter will seek for high likely winnings from Iva OBERAN (-57kg) and Helena VUKOVIC (+78kg). Georgia will bring on their A-Team on both male and female sides. The team also includes Mariam TCHANTURIA (-70kg) and Sophio SOMKHISHVILI (+78kg).
Serbia's quintet will be a challenge for all with Andrea STOJADINOV (-48kg) and Marica PERISIC (-57kg) on board. As always Kosovo arrives with a small yet robust pair of judoka and medal winning performances will bring surprise to none. Athletes from as far as Canada, Zimbabwe and Mozambique will also join the event. The tournament will start at 10:00 local time on both days and will be held at the Sports Hall Arena. A three-day training camp will follow the event. We wish good luck to all participants.

DETROIT, MI – Several law enforcement agencies worked together to conduct raids on houses all over the city of Detroit yesterday. Dubbed 'Operation April Showers' was the seventh full scale drug sweep in recent months.
Detroit Police Chief James Craig is keeping his promise to residents that sweeps will continue until the bad guys get the message. Residents were over come with joy as they saw the raids being conducted in their neighborhoods. Found during those raids were heroin, crack, marijuana and illegal firearms.
Commentary on social media sites has been split. What has been evident with those commenting is the divide of ages. Those younger are in many ways thumbing theirs noses at the efforts while those a little older are praising any amount of police presence.

Growing up in southern India, Srinivas Venugopal witnessed people living in extreme poverty on a daily basis. He often marveled at their entrepreneurial abilities to meet basic consumption needs by selling tea or umbrellas or patching punctured bicycle tires on the streets of Chennai.
Those experiences inspired Venugopal, assistant professor in the Grossman School of Business, to start a technology-based social venture at age 23. His goal: improving education for low-income students in rural India through technology. He currently runs a non-profit that has increased the economic and educational opportunities of young women in the slums of Chennai, which also informs his research on subsistence marketplaces.
"Growing up middle class with poverty all around makes you want to understand it," says Venugopal, who teaches courses on sustainable marketing. "I was fascinated by people who were trying to be productive and make a difference in their own lives. They would say, 'Yeah, I live in poverty, but I get up at 5 a.m. every morning to sell tea on the street.' That's an interesting thing to study — people trying to overcome terrific constraints they face on a day-to-day basis."
Living at the Base of the Pyramid
Since arriving at UVM in 2016, Venugopal has published widely on the intertwined nature of consumption and entrepreneurship in subsistence marketplaces. His bottom-up approach to research involves immersing himself in communities to better understand the lives of local entrepreneurs who live at the Base of the Pyramid (BoP), often living on a few dollars a day. It's an approach that was popularized by Stuart Hart, UVM's Steven Grossman Endowed Chair in Sustainable Business.
"The marketing world has done a fantastic job of meeting needs in affluent contexts, but to me the ultimate marketing challenge is how to meet the basic needs in sectors like education, healthcare, finance and nutrition in these contexts of poverty," says Venugopal. "The cornerstone of the Grossman School is seeing how businesses can be used as an important force for making the world better, and my own philosophy and research fits squarely within that broader paradigm."
Venugopal's research has taken him and his students to India, Tanzania, Argentina and a refugee camp in Uganda where they use qualitative research techniques such as interviews, videography, photography, role playing, map drawing and village walks. "Different contexts have different rhythms and you need to start with an immersive exercise rather than with pre-conceived notions inherited from research done in the context of affluence," he says.
"Srini's not hovering above in a helicopter collecting big data," says Hart, a world authority on the implications of environment and poverty for business strategy. "He's embedded in those contexts on the ground, which is similar to our approach to business at the Base of the Pyramid. We share a common perspective that to be successful, business has to be developed from the inside out by co-creating a value proposition business model from within with local entrepreneurs. Trying to figure out how to market and sell to the poor is not what we're about."
In a forthcoming journal article, Venugopal underscores the importance of understanding the nuanced lives of 25 women entrepreneurs who face multiple limitations in India's patriarchal society. One woman, who makes $10 a month running a small bottle pickling business, can't expand because her husband won't let her work outside the home. Over time, however, he becomes impressed with her entrepreneurial skills — and the accompanying economic benefits — and agrees to let her sell within the broader community.
"If you view her circumstances with an economic lens and that she only makes $10 a month you would miss all of the micro-level transformations, starting with how she sees herself and the barriers she is breaking," says Venugopal. "She no longer has to depend on her husband for money and told me that she was proud to be able to buy a chocolate for her son with her own money."
Changing lives through research
Once Venugopal understands the local context in which entrepreneurs operate, he theorizes ways to improve their circumstances, often testing it with an experiment. He recently employed an entrepreneurial education program for 750 women in India to see if it improved a set of empowerment indicators. Many of the women have benefitted from the program and are now able to contribute to the family budget, having a voice in household purchases for the first time.
Venugopal conducts much of his research through his non-profit, which offers classes by a local Ph.D student to girls studying for critical matriculation exams. He's currently applying for a Catalyst Award grant through the Gund Institute for Environment to purchase 20 GPS systems as part of an experiment to help low-income fishermen struggling to locate fish after a tsunami changed local ecological patterns. The fishermen, who learned where to fish from their fathers, are losing business to wealthier fishermen with larger boats equipped with GPS systems.
Many of Venugopal's experiences are chronicled in a new book he co-wrote titled "Voices from the Subsistence Marketplaces." The goal of the book, he says, was to write stories about individuals in their own voices to show readers that they are more than just statistics.
"A lot of people talk about poverty without even having probably ever met or interacted with anyone who has experienced poverty," he says. "It's easy to reduce someone among the poor to a number, but you don't really get to see them as full individuals who lead rich lives and have other facets just like us."

The Secret to Great Looking Skin Without Much Makeup
There have been many different beauty trends in the last few years, and as a result, most women have dozens of various makeup items in their bathrooms that they haven't used in years. Not one of us can throw any of this out though; it might come in handy some day! All of the unused makeup tends to take up a lot of room, and realistically, we are never going to use it again. So why do we keep buying more makeup? We really only use 2 or 3 makeup items anyway, and getting rid of the stuff we don't use would free up a lot of space for other things, like a bigger mirror for instance! Besides, there is a new makeup trend on the scene that is sure to grow into a classic.
Ladies, before you put on anymore makeup, let me tell you about Bare Minerals. This makeup is an all natural mineral based makeup that is actually good for your skin. You may have heard about mineral makeup before, but Bare Minerals was actually at the "foundation" of mineral makeup. (Pun intended!) I'm sure you have all seen people with that caked on makeup look, and maybe you've even had that look as well, sometimes without much makeup on at all. Bare Minerals makeup is very light, and moat people actually forget that they are wearing makeup at all.
Mineral based makeup is also much healthier for your skin than regular makeup. Dermatologists love this type of makeup, and some even say that you can "sleep on it!" That is rare quality in a makeup, because most would clog your pores and not allow your skin to breathe if you never took it off, but Bare Minerals is so healthy for your skin that it helps to leave it on. Unlike a lot of other makeup, it will never dry out your skin or give you pimples if you leave it on too long.
I know people who wear Bare Minerals, and many of them used to wear foundation, blush and eye shadow.. Now they only have to use foundation. The Bare Minerals foundation cover everything equally and makes your skin look good enough to eliminate all your other makeup. It has sunscreen in it as well, which is one of the reasons it is so good for your skin, but even with the sunscreen, it is still completely weightless.
Bare Minerals is made from100% pure minerals and it is free of preservatives, fragrances and oils, and it contains nothing that can irritate the skin. I can highly recommend this new makeup because I have seen it work on so many people. I have yet to hear a complaint about it, and I honestly don't think I ever will! You can find Bare Minerals makeup at bareminerals.com or your local American drugstore should have it. For all of the Canadian readers, unfortunately it is not sold in Canada yet, so you will have to buy it from the website. (Ebay is always an option too!)

I jumped off a lot of cliffs this day at Aling Aling Waterfall Bali. We also went down a natural water slide and tried the smelliest fruit in the world!
This was the best waterfall we visited while we lived in Bali for 6 months. There is so much to do here and it's not very touristy because it takes a while to get here and it's a hike.
It's not a difficult hike, but just be aware that you'll have to go up and down some stairs.
Watch the vlog we put together of our adventure here at Aling Aling waterfall in Bali!

How The World's Newest Country Went Awry
Note: This report is published on enoughproject.org
War has been hell for South Sudan's people, but it has been very lucrative for the country's leaders and commercial collaborators, South Sudan's war profiteers. South Sudan has been torn apart by three wars in the last 60 years. Two and a half to three million people have perished as a result of these wars. This legacy has finally caught up to the world's newest country, as the United Nations declared a full-blown famine in February 2017, a rare declaration that the U.N. hadn't made for any part of the world since 2011, and multiple U.N. officials have asserted that South Sudan stands on the brink of genocide.
South Sudan's government-made famine
This op-ed originally appeared in the Washington Post, and was written by the co-founders of the Sentry, George Clooney and John Prendergast.
Official, U.N.-declared famines are a rare phenomenon. The last one worldwide was six years ago, in Somalia. Famines are declared officially when people have already begun to starve to death. It is the diplomatic equivalent of a seven-alarm fire. That is where the youngest country in the world, South Sudan, finds itself today, as 100,000 face immediate starvation and another 1 million are on its brink.
This op-ed originally appeared in the Wall Street Journal, and was written by the co-founder of the Sentry, George Clooney.
As the most powerful leaders in the world gather in Sicily this week for the annual Group of Seven Summit, they will address today's most pressing challenges. The list is daunting—terrorism, famine, geopolitical instability and uncontrolled immigration, to name a few. A bolder, broader approach is essential if lives are to be saved.
Read the full article here.
Sudan's government is a violent kleptocracy, a system of misrule characterized by state capture and co-opted institutions, where a small ruling group maintains power indefinitely through various forms of corruption and violence. Throughout his reign, President Omar al-Bashir has overseen the entrenchment of systemic looting, widespread impunity, political repression, and state violence so that he and his inner circle can maintain absolute authority and continue looting the state. The result of this process, on the one hand, has been the amassment of fortunes for the president and a number of elites, enablers, and facilitators, and on the other hand crushing poverty and underdevelopment for most Sudanese people.
"A strong message to armed groups in the Central African Republic," say Experts
April 12, 2017 – Today, the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) placed Central African Republic's (CAR) Abdoulaye Hissène, a key ex-Séléka leader, and Maxime Mokom, a key Anti-Balaka leader, on its Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List.
On April 1, two-time NBA scoring champion Tracy McGrady was officially named to the Basketball Hall of Fame. The Enough Project congratulates McGrady, an Enough celebrity upstander, on this immense recognition and thanks him for his years of support for Darfuri children in refugee camps.
Large-scale migration to Europe has precipitated a paradigm shift in relations between the European Union (EU) and the government of Sudan, and closer ties between both entities. This new partnership has resulted in the EU disbursing millions of euros to the Sudanese government for technical equipment and training efforts geared toward stopping the flow to Europe of migrants from Sudan and those from Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, and other countries in sub-Saharan Africa who come through Sudan.

Internet-based companies market them, men continue to buy them and experts continue to warn of the dangers of counterfeit drugs for erectile dysfunction.
A new study, conducted in South Korea and slated for presentation Monday at the American Urological Association annual meeting in San Francisco, finds that not only can these knock-off drugs be contaminated, they may contain too much of the active ingredient or none at all.
The drugs could especially be dangerous for men with hypertension or heart disease, the study found.
The message? Stay away from non-prescription erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs, the experts say.
"There are lots of rip-offs," said Dr. John Morley, director of geriatrics and acting director of endocrinology at Saint Louis University. "There's still a lot of evidence that many of the things you buy off the Internet without going through a regular pharmacy might appear cheaper or better but they're usually not and they usually don't work."
Drugs known as phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5Is) are used widely by men with erectile dysfunction – and sometimes by those without the condition. Perhaps the best known of the class are sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis). Since it was developed in 1998, the market for these and similar products — legitimate or not — has mushroomed.
ED drugs are sort of in a special class, given the personal nature of the problem and many men's reluctance to discuss it, even with a doctor.
"Men who have sexual dysfunction are prepared to try anything and they do try a large number of bizarre things," said Morley. "They try all the Viagra look-alikes, so people are going to buy them."
In the study, the South Korean team compared 19 counterfeit erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs against prescription Viagra, obtained directly from Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, and Cialis, provided by Lilly.
About one-third of the counterfeit pills actually differed in size from the real thing, while 42 percent differed in color.
Fifty-eight percent had too much active ingredient, sometimes as much as 2.4 times more, while 3 percent had no active ingredient at all.
Some contained unapproved compounds intended to promote an erection.
Only one of the counterfeit drugs contained "proper active ingredients," the researchers stated. Some contained potential toxins, including mercury and lead.
Even genuine Viagra has risks, experts note, especially for men who take nitrates for chest pain. And there could be drug interactions with both real and fake ED drugs.
"All these drugs have side effects and that's probably the big reason why patients should be getting them through a physician," Morley said. "While these things may be cheaper, they potentially have much greater side effects."
"We would hope by now that men would be happy to talk to their doctor [but] fundamentally, people are still shy of this," he continued.
There's more on counterfeit medications at the World Health Organization.

It is the role mangers and supervisors to actively participate in talent management programs for their subordinates. This goes a long way from engaging with the employees to find out their aspirations and developmental needs (Smith , 2007). The HR role would be to aid the process and provide support services for talent management programs, such as performance improvement, training and development. In addition HR would have to engage itself in a rigorous process of finding out the real talent issues.(Smith 2007.
Smith provide some insights in to how the Human Resource Management function could contract value adding talent management:
• harmonising processes and policies to provide consistency in how people are managed and developed across the organisation,
reorganising the HR function to separate administrative and transactional activities into shared services and higher value HR capabilities into centres of expertise,
up skilling the HR business partners who work directly with the business leaders to understand business requirements and support on all aspects of planning and the development of talent
For the easy translation of the strategic goals of the organisation, the leadership team of the organisation should develop the company objectives and the goals in a clear and simple manner, and for this case organisational functions including HR could engage in meaningful planning to achieve the company strategies (Farley, 2005).
In making the link between people and profits, Farley (2005: 57 ) asserts that eight fundamental business related questions should be asked, which are:
• How does your business really make money?
• How do people affect the business's ability to make money (positively or negatively)?
• How is this different from your competitors?
• Who in the organization has a direct impact on revenue?
• What are the key things your organization can do to surpass competitors and increase profits?
• How do people support or hinder those things?
• What changes must your organization make to be successful in the future?
• What role do people play in these changes?

Many folks are currently hoping to get in better shape, but they often think that it's just too much to really go about doing it. You should learn all about fitness when you have decided to go ahead with it. Read this article carefully to see how you can become fit.
If you want to use weights, start out on the smallest machines. The smaller muscles in your body tire more quickly than the larger ones. Therefore it is smart to start with small machines or barbells before moving on to the larger machines. That what, as you work out, you will achieve bigger muscles then your delicate muscles could take a break.
When you exercise, after weight repetitions, be sure to let out a huge exhale. This allows more oxygen to enter your body so that you can become more functional and feel great.
You can boost your workouts by controlling your breathing. Exhale hard when you have your shoulders up while doing situps. Your muscles have to work harder if you exhale deeply.
In order to keep motivated on their weight loss program, most people need to see immediate results. Try buying tighter clothes instead of relying on the scale. You can shed some light on the changes in your body by trying these clothes on once a week as you diet.
In order to better improve your game of volleyball, you should aim to improve your contact skills. Foosball is a wonderful way to build these skills, and is probably one thing that you have not considered. It requires hand-eye coordination and other essential skills in order to beat an opponent. When you practice and improve your skills, you can be a winner at volleyball and Foosball.
As time goes by, running can be both a curse and a blessing. It can do your body quite a bit of good, but it can also do quite a bit of harm. To help prevent the negative effects, you should reduce your mileage to half of the normal miles during one week, every six weeks. Setting aside half of your miles can help your body recover from running and prevent serious injuries.
Many people want to do ab exercises each day. Doing so for this particular group of muscles is not recommended. Abs, like other muscle groups, require periodic rest and recovery time. Consider giving your abs a couple of days of rest between working them out.
Accelerate weight loss by increasing the density of your workouts. If you work on doing more exercise reps in a smaller time period, you are going to lose weight faster. Take shorter breaks during your total workout session or do what you can to skip breaks completely. This will help you lose more weight in the end.
Dips can be a great addition to your fitness regimen. Dips are an effective exercise which is directed at the chest, shoulders, and triceps. There are several ways to perform them, too. It is possible to do dips between two benches that are properly positioned. If you want, you can add weights.
It's a good idea to alternate some sit-ups into your workout along with your crunches. Even though sit-ups have a bad reputation nowadays, they are an excellent exercise for your abdominals. One classic sit up to continue to avoid is the anchored feet sit up. This exercise can still be murder on your back.
When you run, think about it in three parts. Begin your run slowly, then gradually build up the pace until you hit your normal speed. For the last segment of your run, push yourself as hard as possible, running faster than you think possible. This helps increase your levels of endurance, allowing you to run for longer periods of time each time you run.
With all the information that we've given you, you should now have a much better idea of how to get in shape. There is a lot more fitness information out there and you will need to use it to get the results you want. If you do, you will enjoy success.

It was instituted so that the American taxpayers could pay the Jews the interest on the money they created out of thin air via the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. It was passed during the Christmas holiday by the Rothschild Jewish swine to allow the Jews to have a monopoly on the creation of government currency. They chose the word Federal to trick the goyim into thinking that it was a government agency.

It was the Jews idea to lend you money to buy a house in which it takes 30 years to pay off because of the interest. And all the Jew banker did, was make an accounting entry to create the funds out of thin air demanding that the gentile pay back the principle and interest out of their physical and mental sweat.
If the government created funds like the constitution established, a nominal interest rate of 1% could be levied on the purchase of the first house by an individual, enabling the principle and interest to be be repaid in about 7 years instead of 30 years.
Have you noticed that the real estate bubble burst when people could not afford to pay for the ever increasing home prices. In the 50's, only one wage earner was needed to afford a single house. Then because of ever increasing real estate prices, two wage earners were required to afford that house. Then, when two wage earners couldn't afford that house , the sh#t hit the fan, and the real estate bubble collapsed.

Since JEWS live off GOYIM(non-Jews), they spend all of their time in the back rooms cerebrally plotting how to siphon off some more of the production and sweat in the form of new taxation and counting the piles of their SHEKELS.
Has anyone wondered why we need worthless pennies? Because of the JEW and his taxes requiring every last shekel in the rounding process.
Are JEWS more intelligent than goyim? No, with all of the inbreeding there is a nice percentage of idiots in the JEW population, EINSTEIN being one of them. The JEWS know that EINSTEIN was an idiot but laugh under their breaths when goyim use expressions such as "Smart as Einstein" or the sarcastic phrase "Einstein, come over here".
Taxes and interest are the two favorite ways that JEWS extract/extort money from the GOYIM. Every time I here the words FED or Federal Reserve Banking System, I laugh at how gullible and easily brainwashed the masses in our country and the world are. The FED has as much to do with the Federal Government of the United States as Federal Express does. In Fact, look in the blue pages of the telephone book under governmental agencies and try to find Federal Reserve Banking System.
The constitution of the United States of American made it illegal for any private agency to create currency. However, the JEWS over the Christmas holiday of 1913 created and enacted the privately owned Federal Reserve system with the gullible President Woodrow Wilson illegally ratifying the bill.
Instead of collecting $200 for passing Go, they should have landed on the JAIL space. Imagine a bunch of JEWISH gangsters being allowed to legally counterfeit as much shekels as their hearts desired without any controls or auditing procedures. Then imagine these DEVILS taking all of this monopoly money and buying up control of all of the main stream media and global corporations. Then imagine extending interest free loans to all of their Jewish friends who in turn buy up all the control of wholesale operations of everything they can monopolize like gold, silver, iron, steel, food industry, furs, jewelry, auto distributorships, sports franchises, White female and child slavery, movie houses, movie and TV industries, broadway shows, drug corporations, medical profession, legal profession, liquor industry, cigarette industry, etc. , etc.

It was our family's goal this summer to try out an overnight backpacking trip. We already love camping — the kind from a car where you bring every amenity possible and your friend who's an actual chef cooks you insane meals. (You know who you are.)
BUT, at the same time, we have been craving simplicity and wanted to see what it felt like to camp with only the the things we could carry on our backs. We're also prepping in anticipation of Olivia being in Kindergarten a year from now and losing our family day. We need a weekend getaway plan!
Thanks to some incredible friends of ours, we were able to borrow nearly everything we needed. Packing for our first attempt ever was not necessarily simple since we had no idea whatsoever what we were doing. (See a list of what we packed at the bottom of this post!) Once we have our own stuff, it will be SO easy to get out of the house, even on a whim. I also love that these will act as earthquake emergency kits, something I've been meaning to build for our family.
We got to the Barclay Lake Trailhead late in the afternoon — probably 3ish (we work Saturdays and the trailhead is almost two hours from Seattle). This was a perfect first hike to practice carrying heavier packs since it's an easy two miles to the lake.
When we got to the lake, we saw quite a few camps already set up on the beach. We expected this, but were crossing our fingers that we'd find something secluded! Another hiker told us if we kept walking past the lake, we'd find more sites. And we did find the perfect site with an incredible view that was very private. It was so quiet that our ears were ringing. We city folk need this more often!!!
The other nice thing about Barclay Lake is that there are actual campsites (which makes it slightly less adventurous, I know, I know). There was a smooth flat spot for our tent, a fire pit (that will be great when the burn ban is lifted), and even a stump-made-table. 🙂
We set up the tent (in about 60 seconds), and then Darrick and Olivia went to pump water from the lake while I was supposed to get the rope wrapped around a branch for hanging food and garbage. I threw the carabiner so hard that it wrapped itself around the branch TWICE and I couldn't tug it down. Shit. I tried throwing rocks at it to unwrap. Great idea if my aim wasn't so terrible. Then I decided I could use a really really long stick to push the carabiner back over the branch. I ended up having to tie two sticks together. Great idea! I could reach it! I started pushing the carabiner over, but when I lowered the branch to regain my balance, the second stick stayed lodged inside the carabiner, high above my head! LOL! At this point Darrick and Olivia were back and I was dying laughing. (Worse-case scenario, we were buying new stuff for our friend.) Luckily, all my attempts loosened the rope enough that we were finally able to tug it all down. Success! Darrick tied the rope to a fat stick and was able to toss it over the branch successfully. A hilarious challenge to begin our overnight adventure. 🙂
Next was dinner (delish), and wine (delish). We even roasted our mini marshmallows on our mini stove! Because it was cold and we couldn't have a fire, we all ended up in bed by about 8:30. Olivia and I shared the tiniest air mattress you've ever seen, and Darrick just slept on the ground. A double sleeping bag for three people also lets in a ton of air, so me and Olivia were pretty cold all night. That's the only thing we'd change about the whole trip! We'll either get the same tent in a triple, or look into hammocks … an idea I LOVE.
The most amazing part of the tent is that the entire top of it is just a screen. Which means you get to fall asleep looking at the stars. That may have been my favorite part of the whole thing. I didn't realize how much I miss seeing the stars.
There is nothing better than waking up on a chilly morning, to beautiful light cast across mountain trees, staying snuggled inside your sleeping bag for as long as possible. Then boiling water (SO fast with this stove!) for our instant coffee and hot chocolate. And spending the next hours with your two favorite people in the whole world, with messy hair and dirty faces and cozy clothes, not really doing anything, just being. Seriously, nothing is better.
After breakfast and packing up, we tromped through the grass and made our way to the other end of the lake. Such a COOL area to explore! It is insane how low the lake was, which created a playground of boulders and logs. I wonder if the lake has been low for awhile now, or if it's just from one very dry season. Again, the morning light was so beautiful I could hardly stand it.
After exploring for awhile, we headed back out toward the trailhead. We had a blast, but it does make me wonder if we'd get bored if we stayed for a couple nights. I could see hiking to a new camping spot. I've also seen some good suggestions for backpacking activities I can look into. And I could definitely see bringing one of Olivia's friends (or their whole family!) along.
All-in-all we had an AMAZING time. We are hooked. Olivia said she can't wait for the next one. What an incredible way for us to spend time together as a family, finding both adventure AND rest. We are so grateful.
Packing list:
Darrick carried a double tent with ground tarp, a double sleeping bag, one air mattress (we should have had two … don't ask), the first aid kit, dry bags to hang food and other smelly things, rope and carabiner, an empty 4-liter water bag, a water filtration device (the brand I linked to lasted our friend 17 years before a plastic piece broke), a headlamp, a flashlight, a backup battery for our phones with 2 USB cords, a pocket knife, his clothes (pants for sleeping, long-sleeve tee, fleece, extra socks and undies, hat and gloves), a couple snacks, cigars, and a full water bladder.
I carried two gas canisters with a stove and a pot, a lighter, the food (we were told Backpacker's Pantry is the best, and we were not disappointed!), coffee, hot chocolate and mini marshmallows, wine (obviously), cups and silverware, toiletries (wipes, toothbrushes and paste, glasses for me, deodorant, my and Olivia's clothes (long-sleeve tee, fleece, leggings and long pants, extra socks and undies, hat and gloves), a blow-up pillow, a headlamp, and a full water bladder.
Olivia carried her usual hiking backpack, but we got her some more safety stuff. It now includes a full water bladder, plenty of high calorie snacks, the straw portion of this water filtration system (so she can drink straight from a water source), a flashlight, an emergency blanket, a whistle, bandaids, and one extra pair of wool socks and undies (the undies were not wool).

Hello there M... So glad you dropped by and welcome to you as a new follower of the blog..Delete
God bless...
Oh, Faye! As I told you in our ealier phone conversation, your blog is the sweet spot to my day. Such wisdom, humor, joy and inspiration in your words. One thing I notice, that I love, is that you always set such a lovely table. Even when it's just the two of you. You have inspired me to do the same, so the next time my dear husband comes home to lunch, I will have a lovely table set just for the two of us. Thank you!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, dear... Hope you have a blessed weekend.. xoDelete
Oh, I see that you have your Create and Decorate magazines out. Aren't they just wonderful to curl up with when it is chilly outside? I have my pile sitting next to me as we speak!ReplyDelete
Oh, I am sure that your dad is looking down so proud of your grandson getting a deer. My boys just got their great-grandfather's guns and they are so proud. My grandfather was a hunter and fisherman and my older son has a great interest in those sports, I do wish Bapa was here to see it so that I could have seen the look on his face when J got his turkey and that they could share stories. We miss them but they are with us still, always in our hearts and memories.
May God bless you my sweet Faye,
Yes, I love my Create and Decorate.. Looking for some prim inspiration shall we say.. If I could only get time to make something.. grin..Delete
Thanks for your lovely visit, Kendra.. Always look forward to hearing form you...
I love your pantry, Faye. I wish we had one like that here. I love all your jars..big and small. And I'll bet that most of the things in the jar are from your plants that you have havested and dried. I know you use them all of the time. You know...you have got me using some of the things you use more often, too. That is a great flour canister that you got at the thrift store. I figure....if it is a bargain ...then I can find a use for it!! Wish hubby felt that way. Just kidding. Well, glad grandson got his deer with his Grandpa's gun. He must have been thrilled. You made my night...great post.ReplyDeleteReplies

Hi Faye;ReplyDelete
I love the picture of your pantry. Mine is nowhere as pretty.
Hello Laurie girl.. I expect yours is much more organized all of the time, though.. Good to hear from you as always. xoDelete
Mmmm~ the food looks so good, Faye... you would think I would learn to stop coming here when I'm on a diet, but.. I'm a glutton for punishment. :)ReplyDelete
Your pantry is so wonderfully organized~ do you do house calls? *haha* I love the little flour canister too... I love finding treasures like that.Replies
Dear Paula.. You always make me laugh.. Why is that? grin..Delete
Diet and glutton in the same sentence... LOL..
Thanks for visiting, my dear friend...xo
I loved your story about your dad and his gun. My dad was a hunter as well. I have his deer rifle now. I have never shot a deer with it. I let Hubby do that. Your pantry looks great. Enjoy your day and God bless.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Donna.. I always love hearing from you.. I would let Hubby do it, also.. smile.. xoDelete
Your broccoli salad looks delicious and I love also the other pics. Here in the Netherlands you may only hunt if you have a hunting license. Otherwise: no gun in the houseReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Jedidja.. I wonder how you pronounce your name.. smile..Delete
You need a hunting license here, too but we are allowed guns in our homes if they are registered..
It was really cold this morning but it's warming up nicely now. Even though you say it's burned, I'd love a piece of your banana bread! :)ReplyDelete
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!Replies
Come on over, Tammy.. grin.. We will share what is left.. xoDelete

Hi Trace.. I would love to have you, too.. xoDelete
I love the pantry as well, and the flour canister...Oh, I just adore it! Each time I stop by for a visit, I leave feeling inspired and encouraged. Your home looks cozy and so inviting, to me that speaks volumes of the family and their hearts.
Question, have you all had your farm long. I'm kind of new around here and am trying to figure out if it was your old home or a home for the future? We just bought a farm in May, and Lord will it will be our home next year. It's 30 acres, we are city people wanting to go country :)
Hope you have a blessed weekend~
Hi Laura.. I know this bit is complicated about the farm but it was in my family.. It belonged to an aunt but when they had to go to a home it came up for sale and we bought it.. It is just a place where we go and hang out..Snowmobiling in the Winter and such..Delete
Perhaps in the future if we ever sell our cottage we will go there for the summers and have a few animals.. I would love that at our stage in life.. Who knows what the future holds..
Yours sounds exciting.. A whole new way of life ...
What an organized pantry you have...looks very "french country". Your chicken casserole looks yummy and I can almost smell the banana bread. It's in the upper 50's here in the Midwest, which is almost a little warm for this time of year. 60's for Thanksgiving. Not complaining...Blessings...PamReplyDelete

Bigger fleas have smaller fleas In which to bite them Smaller fleas, have smaller fleas Ad infinitum I have not seen a single tent caterpillar tent in our area either, we saw tons over at Port Gamble over the weekend. I have recently learned what a tachnid fly looks like, and we seem to have lots of those, which like to parasitize tent caterpillars. Other bugs of interest, I collected a couple of Thimbleberry flowers that were thick with what I thought was one kind of beetle. Taking the jar out of the freezer and dumping it onto my microscope I found 4 spp. of beetles, Leaf beetles, Chrysomelidae, Soldier Beetle, Cantharidae, death watch beetles Anobiidae, and some other tiny tiny metallic green beetle which I can only admire. The western firefly beetle, Lampyridae are common around here, slender black beetles with red on the edges of the prothorax which mostly covers their head. The damselflies are hatching out of my pond, Boreal Bluets I believe, and a larger blue darner is out and about already, probably a Canada Darner. 4 spot skimmers are around the lake near where I live and of course, bumblebees are everywhere. This year I have only seen a tiny few honeybees, all the rest of the pollination action is dominated by the bumbles this year. Of course there are lots of flies, and beetles but they really don't do much pollination because they lack the hairs to capture and transport the pollen. The red parasitic wasp, Macrocentrus are out still and the tiny bristly dance flies, Empididae are doing their up and down mating flights in the sunny patches of the wetland. At one point two swarms merged and there were hundreds of these tiny things all jammed together going up and down in an interesting natural sort of rhythm which was almost hypnotic.

Wisconsin Family Ties (WFT) is the only statewide, parent-run organization in Wisconsin working with families that include children with social, emotional or behavioral challenges. We walk beside families to provide emotional support while helping to navigate the complex service and treatment systems with which they are involved .
Nia wasn't welcome in social situations. She was failing school.
Her mental health symptoms included alarming outbursts at home
and the family was losing hope. Nia needed urgent help to stop the
downward spiral of mental illness.
Wisconsin Family Ties illuminated a path to success. We walked side-by-side with the family, school, and community—teaching evidence-based practices. We created a team of helpers united in their service approach with Nia. And we ensured that Nia learned to use her own voice to get her mental health needs met.
Today Nia is on a positive path. She is engaged in school, slowly making friends, and learning to manage her symptoms. Her family can see the road to success, and finally has hope Nia can traverse it.
This holiday season, please make a difference for a child like Nia. Your gift of $25 will provide a ray of hope for a Wisconsin child struggling with mental health challenges.
What a wonderful evening at the Changing Lives Gala, to support the life-changing work of Wisconsin Family Ties! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, and donated, and sponsored the Gala. Between the silent auction and raffle, the games, the music, and most of all the stories, we shared laughter and tears and smiles galore. Again our thanks, and we'll look forward to seeing even more friends at the 2019 Gala!
How WFT Helped a Family Succeed

The Escapists: Xbox One Review
Gaming review
I hate Santiago.
He follows me around the prison as I'm stalking the corridors and plotting my grand escape, launching into an uncontrollable rage whenever he gets within five feet. Just this morning he tried an assault during breakfast in the dining hall, and this afternoon, as we shower with the rest of the inmates, he's sure to come rushing at me through the steam.
I can't blame him really. A few days ago, in an ill-advised bout of desperation, I stole his screwdriver. It was the final piece of my first-ever escape plan. Time was running out and I certainly didn't have the cash to buy it, so I took him out in an act of primal force; endless days of working out in the gym resulting in a swift beatdown. The aftermath of the melee became a little confusing however, and at some point I think I lashed out at Santiago with a hammer before stealing the rest of his supplies and leaving him naked in the courtyard. That last part might have been a little too much.
It was all pointless. Later that night I loosened the bolts with my precious screwdriver, scrambled up into the vents and made my way carefully around the duct system to drop down into the foyer, with the intent of breaking through a wall that I had been weakening surreptitiously over the past two days. No sooner had I done so when a blue-suited officer came flying around the corner on patrol, the prison guard striking swiftly before dumping me into solitary confinement. The resultant cell shakedown lost me all manner of goods that had been carefully stolen and crafted during the previous few days, and when I emerged back into general population it was back to square one, but with a pissed-off Santiago now haunting my every move.
Effing Santiago.
Make a breakThis is the good side of The Escapists. Each of its six pixel-art prisons are sandboxes full of opportunity and escalating size, home to a huge amount of interlocking gameplay systems that require careful management and manipulation. You're dropped into each one with scant introduction to basic facets of play, and then it's down to your own initiative to survey your surroundings; to steal, craft or acquire objects and tools that will assist your escape, and then to execute your plan flawlessly when the time arrives.
It plays a little like Don't Starve crossed with Spectrum classic Skool Daze. The basic principle of acquiring many low-level objects with which to craft better alternatives is at its heart, but instead of harvesting logs and stones to make a fire, you're stealing talcum powder and glue to make a rudimentary putty, forming a mould by knocking out a guard and imprinting a stolen key, then creating your own ghetto door-opener by using a lighter to melt a plastic fork into the correct shape.
The crafting system is simple to utilise and yet houses a vast number of different item combinations, and aside from a few hints that can be purchased in each level, all of them will need to be discovered on your own (or via GameFAQs, I suspect). It's not an easy process.
As you build that crafting knowledge and wander the halls, snowy wastelands and desert camps, you'll quickly begin to recognise potential escape routes and exploitable situations, but it's the daily routine that always gates your progress. Prison life runs like clockwork, and you have to play along. Failing to follow strict instructions from the guards will send an entire complex into lockdown, while causing a high-profile violent spectacle will inevitably result in a trip to solitary and a loss of carefully-crafted items.
So you have to go to breakfast every day. You have to work a job at an allotted time to earn money for bartering with other inmates (unless you get yourself fired...), to exercise, to shower, to head back to the food hall for an evening meal, and to attend a formal head-count. These are non-negotiable, meaning that time to perform tasks for other inmates, to buff your own strength and speed, or to tinker with the prison environment is extremely limited. Plans have to be achieved inch-by-inch.
Take a breakIt turns out that strict adherence to routine is both a godsend and a curse for The Escapists. My first successful prison break was one of palpable tension, and took nearly three hours of planning, crafting, daily chores and trial-and-error to get right. As the time ticked forward during that final day into nightfall, the stakes were raised little-by-little. I avoided inmates as much as possible; I turned up early for every daily chore, I unequipped my weapon so as to not accidentally knock anybody out, and I kited Santiago away from prison guards whenever he came in for the kill.
Effing santiago.
The final release on successfully pulling off the plan was thoroughly worth it. Lights out; a body double stuffed into my bed; a neatly-washed guard outfit; posters, and fake wall blocks to cover tracks; wire cutters crafted by repeatedly breaking into other cells and stealing the materials I needed. It all came together beautifully. I ran, I cut, I scrambled around, I made it. Nobody suspected a thing.
Of course it hadn't come together in the many, many attempts before that, and it's those days that begin to drag when you move through progressively larger and more elaborate prisons.
Each environment does a good job of adding new mechanics and interesting obstacles to overcome (electric fences, jungle, guard towers, etc), but the days that lead up to your attempted break-out soon become tiresome. You quickly learn when to interact with prisoners and when to avoid them, which quests to undertake to get key figures on your side, when to go rooting around in other cells, which items create the necessary tools you need for your plan, and which stats you need to increase at the very beginning of your stint inside. Go here. Sit there. Attend this. Wait. Wait. Wait.
The daily prison routine quickly turns into a chore, with the slow build-up of tension replaced by tedium as you're frequently just standing around until nightfall to try something new, or for the day to reset and more crafting resources to become available. Sure, there are parts of your plan that you can execute in daylight, and even it's possible to cobble together schemes that don't need the cover of darkness at all, but that's not normally the case. At that point the grind really is a grind, and it becomes a little difficult to wade through.
Conclusion7SCOREOUT OF10
- Deep crafting system
- Fun, creative sandbox
- Palpable tension
- Functional design
- A little too repetitious
- Extremely hard
- Punishing mistakes
The Escapists: Xbox One ReviewThe Escapists is a flawed but thoroughly interesting prison-break sandbox game with a slow pace that's both a strength and deterrent.
The first few prisons, and your first few hair-brained escape plans, are superb experiences, full of creativity and tension. Trial-and-error tactics slowly give way to a cogent timeline of crafting and events that need to occur for your scheme to succeed, and that laser-like focus of routine and preparation gradually ratchets up the pressure when it's time to finally bust out.
That planning phase soon turns a little sour however, and the daily routine that underpins prison life makes a little too much of The Escapists a chore.
Regardless, when it succeeds, The Escapists is a unique experience. Cutely-designed pixel art graphics belie a game that has dozens of systems interplaying at its core, and while it's fun to prod them all and see what occurs, I just wish it didn't take quite so long to do so. While it has you under its spell, The Escapists is thoroughly recommended.

In addition to the obvious: to make as minimal impact on the environment by using energy-efficient servers and workstations, as well as to exclude paper completely (to the extent legally), we have also been working extra to help organizations working for a better world.
During 2016, we helped the organization The Perfect World Foundation with their work to save the world's elephants. In September 2016, a large collection was held at the Post Hotel in Gothenburg where 3 million was collected through the sale of donated art from well-known artists. Joomlaproffs created the entire auction system and participated throughout the evening in managing the technology for the presentations.
We have continued cooperation with The Perfect World Foundation and help them in need of new features and general Web and IT help. Their next aim is to save the oceans, and the next event will be called "Save the Oceans" where the major focus is put on to raise money and awareness. Joomlaproffs proud of and help in this work.

Mobile Web Applications Icon and Splash screen Generator
There are a lot of graphics resources needed when building a web application for iOS, Android, and Windows Mobile platforms. To simplify the process, I've created a script file that uses ImageMagick to generate all of the icons and launch screens as the various resolutions and sized needed for the different devices. Soon (but not yet) I will add the script for Android.
The script assumes three files:
Since both the layer and mask files never change, the only real work is creating the one source file.
The script is a command file and currently assumes it is running from a command prompt on a Windows PC. IT also assumes that ImageMagick has been installed and the 'convert' command is available without need for providing directory or path information.
Here is an example !

Whether you're walking outside Neyland Stadium on a Saturday just as the leaves start to turn the color of Tennessee's football jerseys, or you're bundled up with your children for ice skating at Market Square, it doesn't take long to see Knoxville has just about everything anyone could want in a place to call home. Full of history and culture, Knoxville's Appalachian roots are obvious from the music you can hear at one of our historic theaters or the scenery you'll enjoy floating along the Tennessee River on one of more than five major lake ways in the region. If you prefer dry land, a hike in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is just 30 miles from downtown Knoxville. As you might imagine, that rugged history played a huge role in Knoxville's past and continues to help shape the region today. Combine the area's picturesque beauty with the low cost of living and it is easy to see how people quickly fall in love with this region. The state of Tennessee does not collect income tax and Knoxville's cost of living index is 11 percent lower than the U.S. average.

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article
Natural language understanding is to specify a computational model that maps sentences to their semantic mean representation. In this paper, we propose a novel framework to train the statistical models without using expensive fully annotated data. In particular, the input of our framework is a set of sentences labeled with abstract semantic annotations. These annotations encode the underlying embedded semantic structural relations without explicit word/semantic tag alignment. The proposed framework can automatically induce derivation rules that map sentences to their semantic meaning representations. The learning framework is applied on two statistical models, the conditional random fields (CRFs) and the hidden Markov support vector machines (HM-SVMs). Our experimental results on the DARPA communicator data show that both CRFs and HM-SVMs outperform the baseline approach, previously proposed hidden vector state (HVS) model which is also trained on abstract semantic annotations. In addition, the proposed framework shows superior performance than two other baseline approaches, a hybrid framework combining HVS and HM-SVMs and discriminative training of HVS, with a relative error reduction rate of about 25% and 15% being achieved in F-measure.

Joint injections in the shoulder are often used for both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes.
When an anti-inflammatory medication such as a corticosteroid is injected into the joint space, it may quickly relieve discomfort and also, through time-release agents, provide rapid relief for more than six months. Immediate relief confirms that the pain is originating in the injected shoulder joint, allowing your physician to proceed with the correct course of treatment.
