You know it's time to clean the carpet when the dogs won't stop licking it. Seriously. It's like every time I look over at one of them they're licking the carpet. In the living room, in the bedroom, everywhere! If there's that much flavor in the carpet it's definitely time to steam clean.
The backyard sod is doing really well! The grass that we already had is not doing quite so well. I recently used that Scotts Turf Builder with weed control and I tell you what, it works like a champ! It killed a lot of the weeds in the back yard. that made it pretty obvious that most of the back yard was weeds.
The front yard
grass weeds dirt in the front yard is doing fine. We're so going to have to start from scratch in the fall. All that weeding I did in the spring left us with pretty much nothing in the front yard. Then I put that turf builder on what little green we did have left… and we're rapidly running out of green in the front yard too. I guess it saves on the water bill since we only have to water the back.
Still no baby birds! I'll keep checking.

A Twitter user has accused a food vendor in charge of the school feeding programme of starving kids while taking the food meant for them to her home.
The tweep, identified as Odudu Johnson said the food vendor, who serves food to children of QIC primary school in Ika LGA, Akwa Ibom, serves only half the meal to children then takes the rest home, leaving a lot of the kids hungry.
He wrote,
"So today i almost got into a fight with the food vendor in charge of the school feeding campaign in my LG . Went home for something and I decided to chk things up for myself. Woman shares half the food cooked and takes the rest home even when the kids are still hungry .
"I dragged her that she must share everything from to till FG decides to stop the SCH feeding campaign. If we don't stand up against impunity, we will blame the government till the world comes to an end."I've pictures and video evidence of the inferno but I don't want to publicize it yet".The National Home-Grown School Feeding Programme (NHGSFP) reached out to Mr Johnson to enquire where this atrocity is going on, so they can look into it.Mr Johnson was also commended by other twitter users on his involvement in implementation of national policies.
The National Home-Grown School Feeding Programme is a Nigerian Government-led, cost-effective school feeding programme that uses farm produce locally grown, to feed pupils. The programme is meant to tackle poverty and improve the health and education of children

This is a comprehensive document explaining the concept the use of Custom Event in the context of Tapjoy Analytics.
What is Custom Event?
Custom Event allows you to define and record interesting user behaviors. Once you complete the basic Tapjoy SDK integration, sessions and in-app purchases are recorded and analyzed by default. However, there may be certain events that you would like to record specific to your game. You can define events like Level Up or Add friend, but really there is no limit to what event you would like to record. It is our hope that through Custom Events, you can get a better understanding of your users.
When user exhibits a behavior that you defined as Custom Event, the event is automatically reported to the Tapjoy server. From the [Custom Event] analysis page, you can see all the recorded events and relevant indicators in one sight. You can also configure Custom Event to record certain parameters or values when report an event. This may allow you for a more meaningful analysis of the event.
You can also use Custom Events in conjunction with a variety of other Tapjoy features. Note that [Custom Events] page allows you to view data by User Cohort. So you could, for example, see how Japanese and American users differ in purchase of a particular in-app product, or how low-level users and high-level users compare in frequency of adding a new friend. Also note that you can use Custom Event as steps in funnel analysis. This is particularly useful you're trying to figure out:
- Significant events that affect user engagement
- Conversion rate from one event to another
- Which component of the game your users enjoy and do not enjoy
Again, you do not need to configure a Custom Event for events we record by default, such as session start/end, purchase, and campaign exposure/click.
Event Parameters and Values
When reporting a Custom Event, you can also pass parameters and values associated with the event. For example, when user purchases 50 Gold from the store, you can define 'Gold_Purchase' as the custom event and pass 'Amount: 50' as the value. Note that parameters are conventionally used for discrete variables like win and lose, while value are usually used for numerical variables.
For each Custom Event, you can define up to 2 parameters and 2 values. Depending on what you wish to analyze, the appropriate values and parameters to pass for an event will vary.
Finally, you can optionally pass the category when reporting an event. For the Gold example, you could say the category is economy.
Of course, you do not need to include parameters and values that we collect by default, such as App Version, OS version, device, country, and User ID.
Example Custom Event
Below is an illustration of how Custom Event can be structured when user finishes playing a stage in your game.
We will name this event StageFinished under category GAME.
When a StageEvent event occurs, we could report the event as follows:
Tapjoy.trackEvent('GAME', 'StageFinished', '10', 'y', "Score", 12321, "GoldUsed",150);
Tapjoy.trackEvent('GAME', 'StageFinished', '20', 'n', "Score", 2233123, "GoldUsed",10, "DiamondGained",150);
Of course, this is a limited example. You could even report the number of tries it took to clear the stage, time it took to clear the stage, etc.
Custom Event – Example
If you have completed the basic integration, you can utilize more advanced features such as referrer channel analysis, custom events, and campaign/GCM integration.
Custom Event
Tracking custom events like 'Level Up' or 'Pick up sword' will enable you to analyze very specific gameplay behaviors of users. Here, we go over an example set-up of custom event for HunterHK. You can find all of the code in this section inside HelloWorldScene.cpp.
In-App Product Analysis
You can also analyze specific in-app products within the game by tracking custom events. In the example game HunterHK, an
EarnRuby event is created when a ruby item is obtained and a
<UseRuby event is created when a ruby item is consumed.
NSError *error; [Tapjoy trackEvent:@"EarnRuby" // Event Name category:@"Economy" // Event Category parameter1:@"BuySingPack" // Event Parameter 1 (Acquisition channel) parameter2:(campaignId ? @"Event" : @"Normal") // Event Parameter 2 (Type) value:1 // Event Value withError:&error];
A simple trackEvent method is called, since the number of rubies obtained is sufficient for event value. Event parameters are determined according to purchase channel, item type, etc.
UseRuby event is reported when ruby item is consumed.
NSError *error; [Tapjoy trackEvent:@"UseRuby" // Event Name category:@"Economy" // Event Category parameter1:@"InGame" // Event Parameter 1 (Usage) parameter2:(campaignId ? @"Event" : @"Normal") // Event Parameter 2 (Type) value:1 // Event Value withError:&error];
Gameplay Analysis
First, create a Stage event whenever user clears a stage.
NSError *error; [Tapjoy trackEvent:@"Stage" // Event Name category:@"Game" // Event Category parameter1:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", stage] // Event Parameter 1 (Stage number) parameter2:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", (prevStageRubyCount-rubyCount)] // Event Parameter 2 (Number of rubies which a player uses in this stage) value1name:@"score" value1: score - prevStageScore // Event Value 1 value2name:@"duration" value2:((stageStart - [self getTimeTick]) / 1000) // Event Value 2 value3name:@"lives" value3:(prevStageLives - lives) // Event Value 3 withError:&error];
In this example, a Stage event of Game category is created with the following parameters: stage number, rubies spent, score earned, time duration, and lives lost. These parameters can be used as filters on the [Custom Events] dashboard page.
When user leaves the game, PlayGame event of Game category is reported. In PlayGame events, event parameters are determined by of the number of stages cleared and the player's role. Then, the results (score, play time and the number of rubies consumed) are report as event parameter.
NSError *error; [Tapjoy trackEvent:@"PlayGame" // Event Name category:@"Game" // Event Category parameter1:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", stage] // Event Parameter 1 (Stage number) parameter2:playerClass // Event Parameter 2 (Played character class) value1name:@"score" value1: score // Event Value 1 value2name:@"duration" value2:((gameStart - [self getTimeTick]) / 1000) // Event Value 2 value3name:@"ruby" value3:(prevGameRubyCount - rubyCount) // Event Value 3 withError:&error];

The conflict in Syria has taken a tremendous toll on children's access to educational services and protection. Children in Syria suffer protracted and multiple displacements, continuous exposure to violence, family separation, chronic psychosocial distress, recruitment and economic exploitation. The whole generation of children is at risk of losing hope. Education is key to their survival and preparation to rebuild a peaceful Syria. Without education, Syria's children will be a lost generation.
The crisis has caused a massive break in Syrian children's education. The task of providing an education to Syria's children is becoming ever more daunting as the numbers of children and families displaced by the conflict increase. Syrian children living in IDP tent camps don't have access to schools. Failing to receive education would have an immensely negative impact on their future, that of the region and beyond.
Education has the power to make a real and lasting difference to young lives who have suffered through Syria's conflict. Each day in school stabilizes lives and communities, spurs growth, and provides hope and purpose in fundamental ways. This project is in collaboration with Damascene House (Ev DERNEGI) schools. It is an opportunity for the Syrian children to receive education and regain their self-esteem and hope for the future in Syria.
When peace comes, children will be the ones to lead their communities towards a brighter future - a task they can only shoulder if they have been able to continue their education. To make this happen, your generous global giving will safeguard the fundamental right of Syrian children to quality education and it will be a long-term investment in the future of the next generation.
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).

Write a poem about a childhood memory
You could not get in without a password.
Words muttered that parents never heard.
A guard was always at the door.
Unable to open for many to explore.
It took skill to reach the entrance,
Where you were welcomed or sentenced.
For only the strongest were allowed,
To sit above the rest and stare at the clouds.
The floor decorated in leaves and small twigs.
A dungeon below for the prisoners to dig.
Plastic tables and chairs were easy to place.
The finest mac and cheese served on a paper plate.
The soldier's greatest weapons were water balloons.
Tree branches used to escape enemy harpoons.
Six feet from the ground, sat treacherous and high,
A safe place from everything, a fortress in the sky.
At the end of the day, when the enemy was gone,
It was time to leave the fortress and return to home.
A good night sleep needed after a long fight.
The fortress would be waiting for another day's light.

Emily Kearns is an official CAPA blogger for spring 2015, sharing her story in weekly posts on CAPA World. A communications and business major at the University of Pittsburgh, she is studying abroad in Florence this semester.
In her post below, Emily interviews visiting professor of Elementary Italian 1, Jenny McCord from the University of Pittsburgh.
- - -
After last week's post about my favorite class at CAPA, "Elementary Italian I", I was inspired to interview my professor, Jenny McCord. She teaches at the University of Pittsburgh and is lucky enough to be spending her semester here in Florence doing what she loves!
EMILY KEARNS: What college did you attend and what did you study?
JENNY MCCORD: I went to the University of Virginia and studied Psychology and Italian.
EK: When was the first time you visited Italy and where did you go?
JM: I went during the summer of 1998, after my sophomore year in college with my family. It was my parents' 25th wedding anniversary and we visited Venice, Siena, Florence and Rome.
EK: What is your favorite city in Italy and why?
JM: Bologna – it is a university city with a generally progressive population and strong social justice initiatives.

EK: What sparked your interest in the Italian language and how long did it take you to become fluent?
JM: The spark? I fell in love with a pizza maker from Naples named Peppe when I was in high school. I started taking Italian classes in college so I could understand him when he was angry and communicate with his family.
Fluency is a tricky concept. In language acquisition we usually talk about proficiency and communicative, intercultural competencies. I think when most people use the term "fluent" they mean highly proficient? Able to understand native speech/text in a variety of contexts and also to negotiate meaning in all tenses, with concrete narrations/descriptions as well as abstract meanderings…
Knowing intimately another language and culture is a long-term adventure, and like all forms of awareness, there are always ways to continue to grow.
In addition to learning grammatical structures and vocabulary for linguistic proficiency, there is also cultural proficiency that enables you to make sense of what you are hearing and reading. We (adult learners) never really attain native fluency, but with love and attention we better understand other languages and cultures, increasing our proficiency.
Language is like a kiss partner, you have to pay attention, spend time together. I'm planning on a life-long relationship, but even after 20 years I often find myself not understanding every corner of a conversation or being able to express exactly what I mean with humor and precision. Pazienza.
EK: How did you get this opportunity to travel abroad with students?
JM: I have been teaching Italian for the Department of French and Italian at Pitt for ten years, and have been fortunate to teach in Rome during many summers with the Study Abroad Office's summer program. This year they offered me a job working with Pitt students in Florence through CAPA: tombola!
EK: What is the biggest challenge and biggest reward of teaching students Italian?
JM: The biggest reward is laughing in class together over students' creative responses or at home when reading their essays. Italian students are off the hook hilarious. This has to be the best job in the world!
One challenge in teaching language is when you encounter reactions of aversion to ideas/behaviors/structures that are new. With the language you hear comments like, "that's so weird/strange," and when we are abroad, even rejections of different cultural expressions that usually suggest a student's lack of familiarity/comfort with diversity.
It's important to try and transform our assessments from "weird"/rejection into "oh that's new to me"/curiosity. I think all teachers and friends, coaches, parents, try to offer guided support that helps form a trusting bond but also encourages open-mindedness and exploration, an interest in always learning more so as to make informed decisions about our preferences.
Photo: Studying in Florence by Scott Kidder
EK: What are some of your favorite things about being involved with CAPA?
JM: The people I have met there. CAPA Florence is a wonderful blend of energy, humor, kindness, patience, cool. They are all extremely resourceful and well-connected in the local fabric, so our students have endless opportunities for home-grown cultural excursions and lectures, activities and tours. I love coming to work and seeing everybody, also the teachers who give classes there; CAPA Florence is a fantastic learning environment and friendly, welcoming home away from home.
EK: What are the differences between teaching at Pitt and teaching in Italy?
JM: At Pitt I see the students every day of the week for an hour of class, which I prefer over our two (longer) weekly lessons here in terms of creating rapport and language acquisition, but then again at Pitt I don't have the pleasure of running into students in Piazza Santo Spirito!
EK: What is your favorite and least favorite aspect about the city of Florence?
JM: My favorite aspect about the city: i fiorentini, le piazze, and making local relationships. My least favorite aspect: the high volume of students living here who choose not to study the national language, to improve their understanding of this generous city that hosts us.
EK: Any pieces of advice for how we should spend our last few days in Italy?
JM: Stay in Florence! Talk to the Italians who were part of your Italian soggiorno, thank them for their cappuccini and panini, suggestions and courses. Continue to build a life-long relationship with your Italian family; you will be back before you know it!
Thanks Emily and Jenny!
Emily's journey continues every Thursday so stay tuned.

Get stuck in
One of the highlights of last season's Champions League campaign was the ease with which Barcelona ran rings around Arsene Wenger's cream puff Arsenal side, comprehensively beating them at their own game and then stamping on their corpse for good measure.
So it's unlikely that the Gunners will get past a Barca side that is even better than last year's, thanks to the overrated lump Zlatan Ibrahimovic being replaced by the mesmerising David Villa. However new England star Jack Wilshere has a plan that might destabilise the Catalan giants: get stuck into 'em, in the classic English style. The fact that the only teams to have beaten Barcelona in the knock out stages of the Champions league over the last few years – Chelsea, Manchester United, Inter – did so by shutting up shop and hitting them on the break seems to have eluded Wilshere, unless it's a reverse double bluff. In any case Barca will got through, and you heard it here first.
'I was at the Emirates Stadium for the first game against Barcelona last season and they were brilliant, especially in that first half,' said Wilshere. 'I was in Bolton (on loan) for the second match and watched on television but I remember we basically played our game, passing it around. This year we have to get in their faces and show them what we're all about. When we have the ball, we've got to keep it as well as they can. We've got to change our game a bit to play against Barcelona – we'll learn from last year, but we need to get in their faces and, if you like, be a bit nasty, in a footballing sense, to get the ball back.
'We have to press them as a team – there's no point just one of us going after them, so we have to close them down as a team and get the ball back from them. But we'll go into the game on Wednesday looking for the win still. It's important we get that to take to their place for the return match.'

Diamer is connected to Islamabad and the north by the legendary Karakoram Highway, and functions as the gateway to the northern regions of Pakistan. Many tourists pass through the Diamer District en route to other places in the north. However, the district has plenty to offer, and unexplored parts of Pakistan still await for adventurous spirits!
For now, most people will visit Diamer to go to the famous Fairy Meadows, or to trek to the Nanga Parbat basecamp. More places to explore will surely expose themselves as tourism to the north picks up, and more developments are made. Below you can find everything you need to know about Diamer in our Diamer District Travel Guide.
Best time to visit Diamer District
The best time to visit the Diamer District is in spring or summer, when temperatures are pleasant and the mountains and valleys lush. The fastest way to Chilas from Islamabad, over Babusar Top, usually doesn't open until the end of May.
Best things to do in Diamer District
The Diamer District is mostly known for the magical Fairy Meadows. In high season, hundreds of people make the arduous journey to the meadows to enjoy magnificent views of Nanga Parbat. Outside of high season, however, the meadows and other places in Diamer District are peaceful and quiet. Below are a few of the best things to do in Diamer District.
The district capital of Chilas is nondescript by any standards. Associated with extremism in the past, most people only use Chilas as a stopover on their way to Raikot Bridge, Fairy Meadows, and further north.
Chilas boasts a nice location on the banks of the Indus River, and has several quality hotels with restaurants overlooking the river. History buffs can explore the surrounding areas looking for ancient Buddhist petroglyphs, some of which date back as far as 5,000 B.C.
Raikot Bridge
The starting point for the journey to the Fairy Meadows and Nanga Parbat basecamp. Raikot Bridge itself holds nothing of interest, but it can be used as a stopover to break up a journey north.
Fairy Meadows
Fairy Meadows, locally know as Joot, is located at 3,300 meters above sea level. It boasts unrivaled views of Nanga Parbat, the ninth highest mountain in the world. German hikers gave the meadows its popularly known name.
Fairy Meadows in one of the main tourist destinations in the north, and gets increasingly busy in high season. The approach to the meadows start at Raikot Bridge, where a Jeep track leads to the trail head. Only local drivers can navigate this track. Unfortunately for tourist, this does mean that Jeep drivers can charge a premium. The going rate for a Jeep is 6,500 Rupees. The fee is nonnegotiable.
From the trail head to the meadows is roughly five hours of walking. Tourists can hire porters, donkeys and horses for a fee. There is a rate board at Raikot Bridge. Locals might try to overcharge you anyway. We advice against giving in, as it teaches locals that tourist are just there to be ripped off.
The meadows boasts several tourist lodges, and tourist can set up tents for a fee. For more information on accommodation, go to our Diamer accommodation page.
The meadows, which have been declared a National Park, face pollution problems. Locals are not equipped or educated enough to deal with the onslaught of plastic bottles and wrappers, and tourist use the meadows as their personal trash can. Needless to say, we strongly condone this behavior, and urge all tourist to behave responsibility and don't throw your trash out in nature.
Nanga Parbat
Nanga Parbat, sometimes referred to as the Killer Mountain, is the ninth highest mountain in the world. It's also considered one of the most difficult mountains to climb, hence its nickname. Nanga Parbat basecamp can be reached from Fairy Meadows in approximately two days. If you plan to climb Nanga Parbat, we highly recommend you to contact a reputable tour operator or local mountaineers to help you with the necessary preparations.
Best places to stay in Diamer District
Being the gateway to the north, Diamer district has some very solid accommodation options. Below you can find the best places to stay in Diamer District.
- Budget – Chilas has several budget options on the main drag. They vary in quality and price, so it's best to shop around once there.
- Luxury: Chilas Shangrila Hotel – Probably the best hotel in Chilas, this place overlooks the Indus river, has spacious rooms and and on-site restaurant. There is also 24-hour security.
- Luxury: Hotel Chilas Continental – Another decent option in case Shangrila is full. Just down the road, also overlooking the Indus.
Raikot Bridge
- Luxury: Raikot Shrangrila Hotel – From the same owners as the Shrangila in Chilas, this place offers average value for money, and we suggest you to stay in Chilas instead of this place. Car parking is available and the Jeeps to Fairy Meadows leave from here.
Fairy Meadows
- Camping: Most lodges in the Fairy Meadows allow you to pitch a tent for a small fee, or sometimes even for free in off-season.
- Mid-range: Raikot Serai – This place probably has the best location, with stunning views of Nanga Parbat and close to reflection lake.
- Mid-range: Fairy Meadows Cottages – A bit removed from the main part of the meadows, this is a good place for large groups and families to stay. Food is average.
- Luxury: Fairy Meadows Broad View – Probably the nicest hotel in Fairy Meadows, although that's certainly reflected in the price.
Best places to eat in Diamer District
Most hotels and guest houses have an attached restaurant. Besides these, there is very little in the way of dining options.
How to get do Diamer District
The Karakoram Highway runs straight through Diamer, making most places easily accessible in spring and summer. Make sure to check that Babusar Top is open before you head out to Chilas, otherwise the journey will take much longer than planned.

Below are PDF versions of the Evaluation Instruments for the 2021 Awards. Specific enhancements instituted in 2018 for the judged awards include:
Judges will rate all nominees on a 1-to-10 point scale rather than the 1-to-5 point scale used previously. Statements are intended to capture the essential elements of award-winning novels, anthologies, short stories, poetry collections,
or works of nonfiction, as well as essential elements of award-winning books in genre-specific categories.
To reflect growing diversity, all Goldie categories include this in proposed judging guidelines:
These books must include significant themes, characters, situations, and/or other lesbian-oriented content—i.e., literary works about women who love women.
By eliminating and restructuring items, the number of closed-ended questions has been reduced significantly, typically by one-third to one-half. Open-ended questions have been reduced from eleven to two.
Goldie entries must adhere to these length requirements:
Anthologies/collections – a minimum of three individual pieces totaling at least 40,000 words.
Novels – a minimum of 40,000 words.
Nonfiction books – a minimum of 40,000 words.
Poetry submissions must be at least 48 pages long, and at least 50 percent "new" poems.

Jonathan Swift
1 of 26 portraits of Jonathan Swift
- Overview
- Extended catalogue entry
© National Portrait Gallery, London
Later Stuart Portraits Catalogue
Jonathan Swift
by studio of Charles Jervas
based on a work of 1709-1710
30 in. x 25 in. (762 mm x 635 mm)
This portraitback to top
Jervas painted Swift twice, in London 1709-10 and in Ireland 1718-19. NPG 4407 is a version of the first type.
When Swift left London in May 1709 a Jervas portrait was left unfinished. On his return in September 1710 (when 'they tell me I am grown fatter and look better'), Swift promptly told Stella he was going to Jervas 'to finish my picture'; on the 11th he sat for four hours and the painter 'gave it quite another turn, and now approves it entirely; … If I were rich enough I would get a copy of it and bring it over'. [1] In October he told Stella he would 'try some contrivance to get a copy of my picture from Jervas. I'll make Sir Andre Fountain buy one as for himself, and I'll pay him again and take it, that is, provided I have money to spare'. [2]
NPG 4407 appears to be studio work. The original portrait is presumed to be that in the Bodleian Library, presented by Swift's printer, John Barber, in 1739. [3] Versions recorded at Knole, [4] and on the London art market in 1988 (from Sotheby's, 28 November 1973, lot 30, and Darnley sale, Christie's, 1 May 1925, lot 35). Alexander Pope copied Dr Swift several times while he worked in Jervas's studio in 1712-13. [5]
The type was first engraved by G. Vertue in 1715. [6]

CHICAGO - There was no shortage of topics for the three that were discussed on Thursday's Sports Feed with our in-studio guest.
The Cubs made a trade and shutdown one of their pitchers for the season. Meanwhile the White Sox debuted Michael Kopech while a few key contributors - like Rick Renteria and Jose Abreu - had medical issues arise that took them out of the lineup.
Outside of Chicago, Urban Meyer's suspension by Ohio State for what an investigation found was a mishandling of accusations of domestic violence levied against a former assistant coach has been the talk of the entire sports world.
Jeff Arnold of The New York Times discussed all of these on Sports Feed with Jarrett Payton and Andy Masur on Thursday's show in-depth, and you can watch that conversation in the video above or below.

Davina McCall reveals she's back in the gym after Christmas as she poses in a crop top with her injured finger
The former Big Brother host, who's single after splitting from her husband earlier this year, is clearly keen to stay in shape
DAVINA McCall isn't sitting around the house gorging on sweet treats in the lead up to the New Year - she's already back in the gym.
The ex-Big Brother host - who recently revealed she had split from husband Matthew after 17 years - was all smiles as she enjoyed a workout with her pal Sarah earlier today.
Davina posted a pic of herself and Sarah, which also revealed that she had injured her middle finger and it now looks like she's "constantly being rude" to people.
She captioned the picture: "It was raining ☔ and yucky and I thought I know what I need ... I need a little ray of sunshine 🌞 @sarahblendfit thank you 🙏🏻 holly loved it!!!! #tonedin10 #fitness #motivation!"
The snap comes after Davina - who showcased her toned abs in a skimpy crop - said she doesn't care about "losing her allure".
In a candid interview, the presenter added that she thinks "women don't care if they appeal to men" and feels that at 50 she's going through a rebirth, thanks to the menopause.
She told former Glamour editor Jo Elvin and co-host James Williams on the podcast Is It Just Me?: "It is like a rebirth, the menopause.
"It's a weird thing where women go, 'what do I want?'.
"We've been selfless, we've looked after other people.
"Women think 'I want to feel amazing in myself, and I want to be the version of myself I can be'....
"Whereas guys think, 'Am I losing my allure? Where am I going, what's my job?'. That's a mid life crisis for a guy."
When challenged on why she focuses so much on working out and physical strength, she jokingly added: "I do do other things!"
But the TV star, who is bringing out a new DVD called Toned In 10, then went on to boast that she'd been for a run that day and it pepped her up, saying: "I just felt good about life."
Davina - who ditched her wedding ring at the start of the month - recently posted a heartfelt message to those feeling lonely at Christmas on Instagram.
She said: "I think it's one of those days isn't it?
"Where, sometimes even if you're in a huge group of people it's quite possible to feel lonely or if you've lost someone you really care about, and this is your first Christmas without them, or if you couldn't get home to your family.
"Anyway, I'm sending everybody a great big Christmassy hug.
"It's only a day, and if you are feeling terrible, cuddle up with a duvet, make yourself some food as that's a nice act of self-love, and go watch some funny Christmas films."

Whether you are going out into the noon day sun here at home this summer or lucky enough to be traveling to warmer climates here are a few tips to keep yourself and your equipment in good shape in hot weather.
Wear a hat and sunscreen and drink plenty of water. Wear light coloured well ventilated clothing. You need to protect your camera from the sun too! Most cameras are black and they can attract a lot of heat, put them in the shade when you're not using them, or if you have to keep them in the sun, cover them with a dry white towel, (not a linty one!). On extremely hot days it might be best to avoid or minimize camera processes that tend to heat a camera up, like Liveview, Intervalometer, or video. If you have to use them try using an add on battery pack. Set your camera's auto off to a shorter than normal interval.
Avoid condensation! This can happen when you move your camera and lenses from a cool air conditioned car or house into a warm environment or vice versa. The resulting moisture can cause problems with circuitry and leave spots or mildew or fungus in your camera and lenses. This can permanently damage your equipment. If you can, bring your equipment into cool or warm environments gradually and always wipe down your equipment with a lint free dry cloth before storing them. If possible don't leave equipment in its bag, store it in an open dry cupboard or drawer. If you must leave it in the bag, make sure you stuff lots of those little silica gel packets in your bag. That encourages the condensation to stick to your bag, not the equipment.

Nobody's Fool: Bob
Nobody's Fool
I can't help myself, this guy is growing on me. Here he makes the point that Presidents want the taxpayers to pay for their secret service for life, and yet, they want us to be unarmed. Even IF they did not have enough money to secure armed guards for themselves, their life pensions alone would leave them enough to do it.
That does not include their massive Presidential libraries.
One might say—- but Joyanna, JFK was killed. (And NOT an x-president at the time)
Right, and HOW many secret service men did he have guarding him that day? I think the FBI should always provide intell to them, but having to pay for FBI agents to bodyguard them AND their families for life? I'm with Bob.
What say you?
He now calls his videos, "Drinking with Bob." Another reason I like the guy.
So, Congratulations BOB…you win the Nobody's Fool Award for the week: pass the tequila and tell me what's next.

I found out some horrible news this past week. One of my favorite places in Memphis is closing at the end of January.
My personal history with Bookstar began sometime in the Fall of 1996. I went there to find a book for a class I was taking at the University of Memphis...
I fell in love with the atmosphere, the quirky feel the building possessed....
(hence the not-so great black/white photos taken with my first digital camera)
But the space has a larger history, outside of myself. It used to be the Plaza Theater from 1952 until it closed in September 1989.
The renovation for a Bookstar kept a lot of the relics from the old movie theater, including the ticket booth outside the entrance, which helped to preserve the fun feel:
"Except for the leveled floor, the main room has the shape and feel of a large theater. A movie screen hangs over the magazine racks on one end of the room, and small projection windows overlook the room from the opposite wall." (commercial appeal article)
It's might seem strange to talk about the bathrooms, especially if you've never been to Bookstar...
BUT bathrooms seem to be known by everyone. I've had more than one conversation about them while discussing the sad, sad news.
(I took this photo of the retro lighting with my first digital camera too)
The best "part" is the sitting room attached to the main attraction.
From my best memory, I'd say the carpet is a dark giraffe print and the vinyl seats are a pale pink--I will be visiting a lot during Winter break.
If I could count all the papers I've worked on in the cafe' while looking out the windows onto Poplar Ave,
Or tell you about the poetry I've read in the aisles,
Or the magazines I've purchased (specifically The Oxford American),
Coffee I've drank, books I've ordered, time spent sitting on the floor in front of the craft section (yarn/knitting)...
It would equal a large number. Geez, so sad.

You will also gain a deeper understanding of longevity nutrition, learn new insights into Ayurvedic detox practices and deepen your relationship with your body.
This is a one-week commitment to your own well-being, in your own home. The proven protocol outlines a step-by-step complete and thorough program with no guesswork. It is a proven 'tri-doshic' (good for all body constitutions) program, designed to make the detox process as easy and seamless as possible for you.
Participants and I stay connected throughout the entire week bringing next-level support and motivation. I am available to answer any questions or concerns- or make any real-time amendments as we go through the journey together.
1. The programme is extremely comprehensive so there is no room for error. No guesswork means no cheating which means success for everyone.
2. The programme focuses on creating a luxurious experience for you, keeping the nervous system in 'chill-mode', which dramatically improves results.
3. Personalised attention gives the security and support needed for any first-time detox-ers and allows for all individual questions that arise to be answered in real-time.
4. Proper preparation of the body is fully addressed before entering into the liquid fasting portion of the protocol, something terribly lacking in other programmes.
5. Detoxing in your own home allows for the longevity practices within the programme to be easily incorporated into your daily life. Taking responsibility for your own well-being creates long-lasting results.
6. This is not a diet. The programme addresses all detox systems and all detox routes of elimination within the body. This is above and beyond a 'detox diet' scheme.
1. Your true desire and dedication to really cleanse your body will be the most important factor in the success of the program for you.
2. You will need to have a clear schedule on Day 3, the Sunday of the program.
3. Rest is paramount: the program will have little to no success if you are stressed throughout the week. You may have lots of energy, you may not, you will need to honour what your body asks of you. This program will not work for you if you try to squeeze it into your already-busy life. If you want to experience the best possible results, you will need to be fully engaged and be able to put yourself FIRST as you take control of your body for one week in this dynamic cleansing protocol. Therefore, the ability to radically cut back on work obligations during the week is of great assistance. What you "loose" in outward productive time now, you gain 10 fold directly afterwards and beyond.
4. If you plan on working throughout the detox week then the option to go home early from work early to rest, as and when you need, is very helpful. You must put yourself first during the entire detox week in order to get the best possible results.
5. No big social engagements that might make it more challenging to stick to the regimen.
6. Supportive partners, spouses, children, roommates, friends etc. really help, their participation would be ideal!
7. An open mind and excitement for a new experience are a huge bonus.

All Dressed Up for Dinner - Greg Laurie Daily Devotion - July 7, 2020
Greg Laurie Daily Devotions
Tuesday, July 7, 2020
All Dressed Up for Dinner
But Moses protested to God, "Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?" (Exodus 3:11 nlt).
An excuse is what we offer when we don't really want to do something. It's the skin of a reason stuffed with a lie. Or, as someone put it, an excuse is a fancy lie all dressed up for dinner.
No matter how we define them, we've all made excuses. Even Moses.
Forty years had passed since he fled Egypt for the back side of the desert. He probably thought he was done. After all, he had taken matters into his own hands and killed an Egyptian slave driver. In some ways he was a has-been, a failure, an embarrassment. Even worse, he was a murderer running from the law.
So, when the voice of God came to him through a bush that wouldn't stop burning, Moses basically said, "Not me. I don't think I'm the right guy."
But God was saying, "I think you're just the right guy I can use at this moment."
At 80 years old, Moses was more cautious. He said, "If I go to the people of Israel and tell them, 'The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,' they will ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what should I tell them?" (Exodus 3:13 nlt).
God told him, "I am who I am. Say this to the people of Israel: I am has sent me to you" (verse 14 nlt).
I love that. Moses was effectively saying, "Who am I?"
And the Lord said, "I am who I am."
In other words, "It is not about you, Moses. It's about Me. You have all of Me, and I will be with you."
Before God tells us what we're supposed to do, He tells us who He is. He will work through us. And He will give us what we need, when we need it.

MMGM (7/9/2018): Awkward by Svetlana Chmakova
The protagonist of Awkward (a graphic novel) is Penelope Torres (also known as Peppi). Her life at middle school is okay, with her having friends and being part of her school's art club (which constantly fights with the science club). However, on her first day at school, when she dropped all of her things and a shy kid from the science club named Jaime tried to help her, kids in the hall made fun of her, prompting her to shove Jaime away and run off. Her constant guilt at doing so makes her feel miserable and try to avoid Jaime at all costs, but when he becomes her science tutor, Penelope and Jaime start to become friends. As the art club and science club are pitted against each other in a competition, Penelope has to balance working with fellow club member Maribella to print the club's comics in the school newspaper, keeping her still-amiable friendship with Jaime hidden from the other club members, and worrying about how to apologize for her behavior toward Jaime in the past. This book is absolutely wonderful—I finished it in just three days, and it only took that long because I was mesmerized by how beautifully drawn every character and scene is! The characters are vivid and well-written. Penelope is a well-meaning girl, despite her mistake earlier in the book, and her worries about school and interest in art make her a compelling character. Jaime is great as well: while a bit awkward initially, he is shown to be smart, kindhearted, and the only member of the science club who can overlook its conflict with the art club and make friends with one of its members. I do also have to mention how great Maribella is, as she charismatically leads the art club through making newspaper comics for the first time and manages to function despite extreme pressure from her father. The book is filled with revelations and plot events that will keep any reader obsessed with the novel, just as they did with me! Exaggerated expressions and running gags keep the book upbeat and funny, and it also features an immense amount of diversity: characters with Hispanic, African, and Asian origins, students wearing hijabs, people in wheelchairs, and both genders taking prominent roles in both the art and science clubs. All in all, Awkward is a touching, funny, and fast-moving book that has cemented itself as one of my favorites of all time (and prompted me to read the sequel, Brave)—please go buy a copy now and read it, as you won't regret it!

MAITLAND, FL – Citizens' Board of Governors on Tuesday approved recommended rates and policy changes for 2018 that reflect rising non-weather water losses, assignment of benefits abuse and out-of-control litigation that, left unchecked, will force rate hikes for years to come.
By unanimous vote, board members recommended a 5.3 percent statewide increase for personal lines policyholders – homeowners, condominium unit owners and renters – with most increases concentrated in three South Florida counties where water losses, assignment of benefits abuse and litigation are disproportionately severe.
Board members also approved a series of policy changes aimed at reducing claims costs for nonweather water losses that have been pushing rates higher for South Florida customers over the last few years. If approved, the changes would take effect in February 2018.
Among the major policy changes is a $10,000 cap on water loss repairs for customers who decide not to participate in the Citizens Managed Repair Program, which links customers with a network of vetted contractors. The voluntary managed repair program, coupled with a free emergency water removal service, will become available to new Citizens policyholders after July 1, 2017, and for existing customers when their policies renew.
Other policy changes include expanding obligations to third parties that accept an assignment of benefits. Currently, contractors who accept an assignment are not bound by the same obligations, including allowing Citizens adjusters to inspect a claim in a timely manner or providing proof that a loss has occurred.
"These proposed rate increases and product changes are critical for Citizens' efforts to bring some relief to a market that is being made increasingly expensive by unnecessary litigation and out-of-control water loss claims," said Chris Gardner, Chairman of the Citizens Board of Governors. "Unfortunately, we are making it more expensive for many of our customers to own a home."
Citizens has prepared a 2018 rate kit for the media with information about its 2018 rate filing, including answers to common questions and county-by-county estimates for particular policy types. Additional information about policy changes is available on the Citizens website.
The kit also includes information about Citizens' costs and projected rate need for 2018.
