RBI releases new note of Rs. 500. However, even after the introduction of this new note, 500 rupees notes already in the market will remain valid. Let us tell you that after the ban on behalf of the RBI, new notes of Rs 500 and Rs 2000 were issued.
What will be special in the new note:
According to the information, the new note issued by RBI will include Inset Letter A in the new note. This inset letter A will be on both the numbers panel. Also, there will be the signature of Reserve Bank Governor Urjit Petal. The year of printing on this new note will be 2017. However, the design of this new note will be similar to the note of 500 rupees issued under the Mahatma Gandhi (New) series after the ban on November 8.
RBI refuses to bring new notes first:
Reserve Bank of India deputy governor NS Vishwanathan had said in March that there is no plan to bring new notes in the central bank market. During that time, Viswanathan had said that the banking system wants to encourage people to cashless transactions.
Earlier, Finance Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal had also said in the Parliament that there is no scheme of Modi government for printing of Rs 5,000 and Rs 10,000 for new notes. It is worth noting that recently a statement by the RBI was issued that it can issue new notes of 10 rupees and 100 rupees soon.

Water is the very source of life! We just cannot live without it and are strongly attached to it. Most of us would love to have a body of water close by. Unfortunately, there aren't always streams, rivers, lakes or an ocean near us, even for those that can afford them. A peaceful pond is a great way to have a water feature on your property. Having a wonderful orchard of fragrant flowers and lemons, plums, peaches in your surrounding with water upfront is the ultimate desire for luxury! This is the reason why pond construction is getting so popular these days. The fact is, if you don't have a home near the water; just create a water body within your property, that's it!
Why do you find beaches so peaceful and invigorating? Is it the sound of the waves or the fresh smell of water? Why does it soothe your eyes when you see water amidst the lush landscape? Surprisingly, watching the waves or the water body has little to do with relaxation, peace; stress and anxiety release; there is actually more scientific reasoning behind it. Research claims that water places more negative ions in air thus resulting in a positive impact on our body. Getting a professional pond builder to work on your property is the best way to get the ambiance supercharged with the positive effect of moving water or a peaceful pond.
Costing just a fraction of what it would be to purchase waterfront living near the beach or ocean – every property owner can easily reap the benefit of peaceful ponds in their backyard. Create an atmosphere of intimacy or grandeur – whichever appeases you and of course suits your budget as well. Get your own natural individually included in the premises for that everlasting charm. If you're considering getting a peaceful pond installed in your garden make sure you adhere to certain factors.
Taking your time to plan it out and research through the subject is a great way to avoid any issues later. Always seek an expert to conduct the new pond construction. Make sure the service provider is licensed and bonded. A well-designed pond built will only uplift your property a great deal. Considering how much enjoyment a water body adds to your property, you can always invest in it for happy times to come. In fact, a peaceful pond can bring for you more delight and pleasure than any other purchase you make!

How often should you eat fish?
Eating fatty fish twice a week can help protect against heart disease in both healthy people and those at higher risk for heart problems.
Eat no more than 12 ounces per week (about 2 or 3 average meals) of a variety of fish low in mercury, and choose wild fish whenever possible.
Women of childbearing age and young children should eat fish low in mercury and limit mid-level-mercury fish like albacore tuna to 6 ounces a week*. You can also eat heart-healthy foods like nuts, ground flaxseeds, chia seeds, fruits, vegetables, tofu, and whole grains instead of fish.
Omega-3 fatty acids
Fatty fish is low in "bad" saturated fat and high in "good" omega-3 fatty acids, a type of polyunsaturated fat found in fish fat and oil.
Omega-3 fatty acids help to lower the risk of heart disease and diabetes, improve brain function, and may reduce the risk for Alzheimer's disease.
Excellent fish sources of omega-3 fatty acids include:
- Salmon
- Trout
- Herring
- Sardines
Although other options are often on the menu, fish such as farmed tilapia and catfish are low in heart-protecting omega-3 fats.
Fish oil supplements
If you don't like to eat fish, you may want to consider taking fish oil supplements instead.
Fish oil supplements may be helpful for people with existing heart conditions and possibly for people with some autoimmune disorders. Recommended amounts vary depending on why you're taking them, so talk to your health care practitioner first.
If you take anticoagulants (blood thinners), have a bleeding disorder, or uncontrolled hypertension, do not take fish oil supplements without first discussing it with your doctor.
Risks and environmental concerns
Like all foods — even healthy ones — too much can do more harm than good. Learn about mercury and which fish are safest to eat to get all the advantages of fish without the potential risks
Environmental concerns such as overfishing, killing endangered species, and trapping marine life in fishing nets can be another factor when deciding which fish to buy and eat.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium has created Seafood Watch, a program designed to raise consumer awareness about the importance of buying seafood from sustainable sources. Their website discusses environmental issues in the fishing industry and provides a wallet-sized card of environmentally friendly fish choices that you can print out and carry with you to the grocery store and restaurants.

Systema Stick Massage is a unique massaging experience. The use of sticks helps reach and release deepest tensions, while at the same time giving you amazing awareness of your own body. Every massage is different as it is always adjusted to suit your personal needs.
During the massage you can expect your instructor to use various techniques to make sure you benefit from the massage as much as possible. Depending on the scale and type of tension in your body, the instructor may use a Cossack whip, a shashka and other equipment on top of the famous sticks.
*** Riga 2019 - Systema Ryabko Stick Massage ***
The rising popularity of stick massage is due to faster relief from pain and its unique deep tissue work.
Stick massage has been available in Ireland only for a few months and it is already rising in popularity rapidly.
Deep tissue massage therapy works down to the connective tissue that connects our muscles to our bones and organs. A lot of tension and chronic pain can be sourced within this connective tissue and without manipulation cannot be released. Many arguments state that a true deep tissue massage cannot be performed, but make your own mind up when you feel a difference in your level of pain,
mobility and flexibility.
Massage is a method of preventing and treating many diseases. Thanks to its extraordinary ability to neutralize the damaging effects of stress on the human body, it has become one of the most common areas of traditional medicine. Since ancient times, massage is the most affordable way to calm nerves and strengthen the mind as well as the immune system of the human body. It's also beneficial for improving the shape of the body and losing overweight. Massage provides an opportunity to detect and eliminate hidden inner tension of the muscles around the spine, strengthening them and making the spine more elastic, thus correcting body posture. Massage with a specific form of rods made of different kinds of wood and other solid materials (environmentally friendly to humans) is an exclusive method of recovery SYSTEMA for stress redistribution, which results in a deep relaxation. The method relates to methods of removing tension in the muscles, restoring both surface and deep-seated muscles to health and relaxation.
The massage takes approximately 40 minutes, please book the date of your choice.

If you think of editing and proofreading as synonymous, you aren't alone. Many business writers and reviewers think of these two processes as being interchangeable. But these activities are quite different, and both are uniquely vital to successful writing.
Editing occurs after the drafting of a document. An editor (whether that's the writer, a peer, or a manager) reviews the content to make sure it contains the core aspects necessary for a solid scientific, technical, or business document:
Editing can occur in several rounds as a document is revised or as different team members review the writing.
Proofreading is the final step in the creation process. The proofreader focuses on details that might seem superficial, but that can make a real difference in your audience's opinion of the document:
Editing and proofreading do share some common ground: both skills require a certain amount of distance from the text. If you're reviewing your own work, don't edit immediately after writing, and don't proofread right after editing.
It's also a good idea to change the format of the document between editing and proofreading. If you usually work on the computer, try editing or proofreading a printed copy, or change the look of the document by altering the font size or spacing. And regardless which phase of writing you're in, try to minimize distractions so you can focus on the task at hand.
A good edit provides some outside perspective. You can help your editor by being as specific as possible about the type of feedback you need.
As for proofreading, here are a few tips that can help you catch errors:
If these processes seem daunting, consider an editing or proofreading course. Such courses can teach you how to streamline and improve your review processes and produce cleaner, more successful writing.
Learning to write effective content can be challenging, but it is a learned skill that more than pays for the effort you put into it. Contact Hurley Write toll-free at 877-24-WRITE (877-249-7483) or by email for more information about our writing training courses.

Hey, so OK...
I think, since things are rolling, and there are so many folks following Feel Free now, some clarification and organization is necessary on my part.
This Newsletter will be split into 2 sections from now on. General Feel Free News (updates on new site content) and Feel Free Workshop News (updates for Patchwork in Perspective, the series).
So let's begin.
General Feel Free News
No new content has been recently added. I've been busy organizing my workshop series and will resume work on the Methods Index soon.
To clarify, because there have been questions, initially folks signed up and were given a password "enter" to access free but protected content. That password requirement was removed at one point but not everyone was notified. That sign up was not the same sign up for my new class Patchwork in Perspective, which is under the category Free Enough. This confused a lot of folks and kept them from enrolling in class, thinking they already were signed up. I apologize for that. I have temporarily closed enrollment so I might address some management issues. Enrollment for the Patchwork in Perspective will resume in mid April, and I will keep you posted. I'm a snail, catch up is a breeze.
A new newsletter will be sent out whenever there is new free and open content added to the site. I will also place notification in my blog posts at Spirit Cloth. I've suggested you either subscribe here or there to be kept in the loop. You do not need both.
Feel Free Workshop News
Part 1 of Patchwork in Perspective ( A life in pieces) has opened.
Enrollment has closed for now, but as stated above, will open again Mid April after I get through the initial organization.
If you signed up, I sent you password information. If you did not receive your sign in information, you should contact me from an ACTIVE email. Some of my correspondence came back as undeliverable.
You can always access the home page by clicking the part 1 puzzle icon in the sidebar. The same icon appears in the sidebar of the Spirit Cloth blog if your habit is to visit there.
I will need about a week of administrative management to get going. But I will be posting about subjects regarding these issues as part of the class. So we can work together, discuss technology, introduce ourselves, bond and understand how this might work for all of us. A new newsletter will be sent out whenever there is new content for class. Which will probably be Thursday. I will also place notification in my blog posts at Spirit Cloth. I've suggested you either subscribe here or there to be kept in the loop. You do not need both.
I've stretched this first part of the series, knowing how it might go in the beginning, we have plenty of time.

MEMPHIS, TN (WMC) - Revenge was the name of the AAC Championship game for the Memphis Tigers against the undefeated UCF Knights.
The Tigers were hoping to avenge last year's loss to the Knights in double overtime.
Unfortunately, UCF would remain unbeaten and defeated the Tigers 56-41.
The Tigers kicked off with a huge lead. They led by 17 points three times in the game, but they just could not finish the deal.
UCF was able to come back with a big second half, holding Memphis to just three points.
"It really came down to those third down conversions," said Tigers Coach Mike Norvell. "We weren't able to establish drives there in the second half, and that was something that obviously hurt us. I mean I thought we did some really good things running the football there early. Had a couple opportunities there in the second half just couldn't capitalize consistently."
"Their fan base played a big part in the game," said Tigers linebacker Curtis Akins. "Once you make simple mistakes like that the crowd is going to help to motivate them."
"We were still able to throw the ball pretty effectively in the second half," said quarterback Brady White. "I thought we did a solid job, and then ended up just falling behind and had to play a little bit of catch-up toward the end."
The Tigers ended up with an 8-5 record, but the season is not over. Bowl time is coming up next for Memphis.
The word from the Commissioner's Office Mike Aresco is that Memphis will go to one of four bowls, and they all involve playing against a Power 5 conference team.
The Tigers will either go to Shreveport, Fort Worth Annapolis, or Birmingham.
We'll find that out on Sunday.
Back home, the University of Memphis Alumni Association held a watch party for the game at the Liberty Bowl on Saturday.
There were a lot of cheers during the first half of the game. The second half, not so much.
"It was looking good," said fan Anna Schuler. "Then, you know…"
However, the mood at the watch party still stayed lighthearted. A lot of people said there said that is where they'd want to watch the game if they couldn't be in Orlando
"I'm heartbroken, but I'm proud of my Tigers," said fan George Willis. "They played hard."
This is the second year for the watch party. While the University of Memphis Alumni Association put it on, it's possible because of cooperation with the City of Memphis.
It's where Mayor Jim Strickland chose to watch the game, and for many, it was a perfect cap to a very Memphis Day.

I've been meaning to write this post for a while as I've been receiving quite a few messages on Instagram. so wanted to put together my top blogging tips for you all to read and be inspired from. A popular question I get asked is how I grow my Instagram following. In complete honesty, it's not easy. In order to grow your Instagram, you need to be committed, organised and most of all passionate.
Preparation is key. If you want to be successful in blogging or whatever you are trying to do with your social platforms, you need to plan ahead. I find it helpful to note down ideas for blog posts on a monthly basis and fit these into my time to get these written. When it comes to Instagram, shooting in bulk is always the best way. Plan a few outfits you want to shoot, and research your locations as this is so important. After what will be a fun yet exhausting day, you will have loads of content that you can plan out and schedule ready for posting.
Instagram analytics should become your new best friend. Make sure you have a business profile and you will never look back. Being able to see all of your follower insights, demographics and most popular times that you're audience are online is a godsend. With the Instagram algorithm testing most of us, posting at key engagement times will ensure your content is being seen by the majority of your following, and the more engagement a post gets, the more it will be pushed out further.
Make the most of Instagram stories. It's no surprise that most of us receive more views on our Instagram stories than we do on our feed content. Heck, if we all got as many likes on one post as we do views on a story, would I even be writing this post? Your stories can provide a lot of insight into your life as opposed to what you choose to upload to your feed.
Engagement is so important and it often goes ignored. When brands look for people to work with they don't just look for great content, but also authentic and good engagement. This doesn't just come as part and parcel of having an Instagram account, but with lots of hard work. More and more people are becoming savvy to the fact that numbers don't mean a thing. So what, if you have 200k followers? If you've got an engagement rate of 2% chances are, your followers are fake and no-one will want to work with you as there is no ROI.
Make sure to find your style and figure out what makes you, you. Decide what your aesthetic is going to be and run with it – this can be anything from the theme you use, the locations you go to, your photography style and much more. I have fallen victim so many times to comparing myself to other people, and consequently changing themes, switching photographers, all of which has a knock-on effect on my growth. So make sure you know exactly who you are and where you want to be.
I hope this has helped some of you, and if you ever want to ask me any questions, my DMs are always open! Do you guys have any other blogging tips? I'd love to hear your suggestions!
Love, Aysh x

Extremely professional and courteous
I got the hardwood floor in my condo installed by Marius in 2014. They were very helpful in recommending me good floors for my condo. I picked the type of flooring and they picked it up from the shop. They did a great job in installing the floor. Two years later some of the planks started showing gaps because of change in the weather. Marius responded and stopped over to fix the gaps. He has been very responsive to our questions and very helpful throughout. I would highly recommend Marius for your flooring work.

They always came on time, were friendly and the work was done in timely manner--highly recommend them, though recommend to contact them in advance as they might be booked a month in advance, but it was worth waiting for us.

Loved our new floor
We recently had an engineered floor installed by TMJ guys in our high-rise condo and we love how beautiful it came out. At first my plan was doing all the work myself, since the area wasn't big. After pulling out the old carpet, I discovered a very uneven concrete sub-floor that needed to be leveled out and decided that the job was just too big for me to handle. I called several people that I knew they were in construction business and one of them highly recommended TMJ so we hired them. Actually it took some persuasion to convince these guys to drive from Milwaukee to Chicago, but it was well worth it. Their price was very competitive with our local installers and they completed the job in just one weekend. They also cleaned well after themselves once the job was completed so we didn't have to deal with layers of dust on furniture and counters. I will definitely call them next time we need a new floor installed. Highly recommended!

New/old floor install & refinish
I was very pleased with the end result of the floor installation. Marius and Tim did a very meticulous job of installing our new entry,stairway,hall,bath and kitchen floor with accent trim around the perimiter with cherry feature strips and maple outer trim. They did a fine job as well in refinishing our existing dining room floor and matching it well with the new. They were both very neat and conscientious and the work was reasonably priced. I would highly recommend TMJ for any wood flooring project.
Response from TMJ Hardwood Flooring
Bob, thank you for your feedback. It was a pleasure working with you and we are looking forward to doing business with you in the future.

ST. LOUIS – A vigil is held for a three-year-old girl shot and killed in a drive-by shooting Sunday night in south St. Louis.
The family of three-year-old Kennedi Powell gathered at the shooting location on the Michigan Avenue near Mount Pleasant Street.
Police say someone in a white car fired at two adults and five children hitting the two children; a six-year-old girl was shot in the back.
Kennedi's family says she was the youngest of four children.
Investigators are canvassing the neighborhood in search of surveillance cameras that may have picked up images of the four-door white car. Anyone with any information is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 866-371-TIPS (8477).

Fabulous Cabarete Beachfront Property!
Located in trendy Cabarete, water-sports capital of the Dominican Republic, this 3-bedroom, 2 baths classically-designed Cabarete Beachfront Property will capture your fancy!
On the ground floor, an enclosed porch has rustic seating and open windows to let in warm breezes while you read the morning paper with a cup of coffee. Inside the house, you'll find a comfortable living room and kitchen with breakfast bar.
Upstairs, the spacious master bedroom comes with a queen-sized bed and sitting area, which look directly onto the ocean and an additional bathroom.
The Cabarete Beachfront Property is tastefully furnished with light-colored wall and ceiling finishes. Unusual, interesting use of concrete is evident both inside and out and the large arched windows facing north admit cool breezes and an abundance of "artist's light". This is a villa and property designed with ease of maintenance in mind. Materials and plantings are used that ensure maximum enjoyment with a minimum of fuss.
Direct ocean-front with recently-installed $150,000 seawall, this property with its numerous palms and leafy shade trees has over 3000 square meters or 3/4 of an acre!
The large hand-made pool features lap and lounge areas and from inside it, the horizon is visible as is the beautiful Caribbean sky. Steps lead to the white sand beach and the coral formations just offshore invite snorkeling and fishing. Keep your kayak, kite or windsurfer handy…
Just 25 minutes from the international airport at Puerto Plata (POP), the property is close to everything in Cabarete.
Direct flight to New York City (about a three and a half hour flight). Transportation to and from the airport will be arranged. The caretaker for the home will also be available during your stay to help out with any needs. Please note that two friendly and joyful dogs make their home on the property.
Janet's Supermarket, The Belgian Bakery, and over two dozen restaurants and nightclubs are just minutes away. When sitting on the ocean side of the house, sipping a sundowner and watching the sea, you won't realize that you are anywhere close to a thriving community!

Even though Vasek Pospisil missed the first six months of the 2019 season to recover from back surgery, the Canadian tennis veteran still feels it was one of the best years of his career.
During his time away, he was able to pursue some business endeavours, think about post-career options and focus on friends and family. Pospisil returned to the court feeling more balanced and credits a "permanent mental change" for the emergence of more confidence as a person and a player.
"I think there's definitely been a lot of a lot of changes to the way I approach the game these days," he said.
Pospisil, who will face Croatian veteran Ivo Karlovic in the first round of the Australian Open next week, won two lower-tier events last fall before really emerging at the Davis Cup Finals in Madrid. His doubles pedigree made him an asset but he ended up being a singles anchor for a Canadian squad that stunningly made it to the final before falling to Rafael Nadal's side from Spain.
The 29-year-old from Vancouver looked like the player who cracked the top 25 in the world rankings in 2014. Nagging pre-surgery injury woes were a distant memory and the mental clarity was evident too.
"Now that I've been healthy, it's really quite something," Pospisil said in a recent interview from Auckland. "I think even just mentally and the weight off my shoulders. I'm just having so much more fun on the court too. Just being able to focus on trying to get better and what you need to do physically, tactically and technically wanting to improve.
"I can just put all my attention on trying to become a better player rather than wondering how my body is going to feel."
While off court, Pospisil dabbled in real estate. He started a few companies — including one with some longtime friends — and invested in a few others as well.
"Mostly it was just a very fun six-month period considering that I wasn't on the tennis court," he said. "I kept busy and I really felt like, 'Oh wow. Even if I don't go back on the circuit, I can be happy and make a living and be successful in whatever it is I decide to get into.'
"I think that's just kind of brought this calm feeling when I came back on the tour."
Now in his 14th season as a pro, Pospisil started working with coach and Davis Cup captain Frank Dancevic last summer. They have known each other for years, communicate well, and see the sport the same way, Pospisil said.
"I think we just really dialed in on my strengths," he said. "I think that just brought the results and shaped the rest of my game. I suddenly was a dangerous opponent again and moving really well and hitting my forehand big and serving big.
"That's always how I'm going to give myself the best chance of winning matches is when I'm serving and winning big forehands."
Pospisil upset ninth-ranked Karen Khachanov of Russia at the U.S. Open and beat 16th-ranked Diego Schwartzman of Argentina during a run to the round of 16 at the Shanghai Masters.
Back-to-back Challenger titles followed to help set up Pospisil's run at the Davis Cup Finals, where he posted three straight wins over top-50 players.
"It was the best that my body has felt in the last five or six years," he said. "So I think it was an extremely positive end to the year. I think more so mentally that actually showed that my body is in a place that (he) can play at the top of the sport and at a high level … the end of the year kind of took me by surprise in terms of how I felt and how I played."
Pospisil hopes to work some doubles play into his calendar this season, but it will depend on his singles schedule. Currently ranked 146th in the world, he plans to use his protected ranking for entries through the Miami Masters in late March.
He fell to Davis Cup teammate Denis Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont., in the second round of the ASB Classic on Wednesday, but his ranking is still expected to jump eight positions next week.
"I'd like to get back in the top 50 at some point this year," Pospisil said. "And who knows if I can go higher than that. But that's what I would like to do this year for sure."

1). PattispaduSrividya AIR 1, AIIMS 2014
According to Pattispadu, ''Self-discipline, hard work and faith in myself have helped me in reaching such great heights in my career. This strategy will always help everyone in long run. I used to study for 12 to 14 hours a day during the preparation period. In the last six months of AIIMS MBBS 2014, I worked the most on my weak areas and had tried to convert my weaknesses into my strengths"
She further said "It is very important to freshen up your mind during prolonged study hours", says Pattispadu. She said, "Whenever I felt stressful, I do painting and it also allows me to enhance my creativity. I have never comprised on my eight hours sleep during AIIMS MBBS preparation time. In order to study with fresh mind and more concentration, it is very important to take short and recreational breaks in between"
Her Advice to aspirants: "I would like to suggest them that do not take stress about AIIMS MBBS exam and the real success mantra is NCERT Books. NCERT Books are the best way to clear your basics and concepts in all the three subjects, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology''.

2) Arvind Subramanian AIR 4, AIIMS 2014
Arvind's preparation strategy has been given below:
''The basic strategy I adopted was to have clarity on all the concepts of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. I invested a lot of time to strength Zoology and botany subject because these two subjects have a vast theory. I have tried to solve at least 20 numerical on daily basis within a set deadline to boost my problem-solving speed''.
Revision plays an important role: "A month before the AIIMS 2014 exam, I was busy in revising notes which I made during school and coaching classes. I used to solve previous year sample papers and take 4 to 5 mock tests a week. Revision exercise has helped me in analyzing my weak areas and brought good improvement in my studies, thus it has played a very important role during preparation,"
A piece of advice from his side: "I would like to tell other aspirants that do not take stress about the exam and do not study under pressure, Recreational activities play the vital role in releasing stress and restlessness, so indulge in activities which help you relax and then start studying with more concentration''.

In the Cenischia you'll find an incredibly lightweight shirt that is an excellent choice for summer. Since it is made from Royal Oxford cloth, it has some shine, softness and a bit of texture to it. It's a great fabric for traveling that needs no more than a touch of an iron to make smooth after spending time in your suitcase. With its yellow, royal blue and white stripes, it is great for neckwear and pairs perfectly with some of the plaid jackets we have for spring.
This shirt has all the signature features of the shirts Kiton makes exclusively for Axel's. For starters, everything from collar to tail is sewn by hand. Natural, mother-of-pearl buttons rest in buttonholes and are sewn on with three-prong, "chicken-foot" stitching. A French placket creates a smooth front that makes the shirt look like one piece of fabric. The spread collar is great for wearing with or without a tie. It can even be worn without a jacket, standing up so it frames the face nicely. Over the years, Axel's has developed a special relationship with Kiton, allowing us to bring you one-of-a-kind garments from these Italian master craftsmen. .,

About Me
"The point is not to find yourself, it is to create yourself."
Shelley Lee Wilson is…well, she just is.
How to describe me? I am a blank canvas and the painting I am making of myself is that of an adventurer, a philosophiser and a passionate lover of life.
In 2010 I felt that I had something I needed to say. I started to think about writing a book, but who was I to write a book?
I have always been a deep thinker and have often tried to find an easy and happy way to negotiate the twists and turns through this life.
To attempt to do that can sometimes be overwhelming. Some of the options that we are given are so complicated. There are lots of books on the subject and I feel that some of them are just wonderful, but so complicated and hard to put into practice. There are all sorts of religions, meditations, philosophies and doctrines as well.
I have learnt that there IS a simple way to a good and happy life.
My story is about how I found that way. And it will prove to other people that life IS meant to be amazing and it is not difficult at all to create your world the way you want it.
I did it and I am no one special. So other people can as well.
So in 2012 The Buffalo Thorn was born. It is my baby and holds within its pages all the things I have wanted to say for many years.
Now I can add to my name, Shelley Lee Wilson, published author.

Carboxytherapy: The best way to treat dark circles under the eyes
Carboxytherapy is a non-surgical treatment, which consists of the therapeutic use of Carbon Dioxide Gas (CO2) administered by injections. I've had a lot of success using carboxytherapy to treat dark circles under the eyes. This is a notoriously difficult area to treat, and often my patients have tried many different creams and treatments before I meet… Continue reading Carboxytherapy: The best way to treat dark circles under the eyes

SEND Information Report
The progress of every child is carefully monitored throughout their time at Bedmond Academy and intervention is put in at the earliest stage of difficulty in any area of learning. If you think your child may have special educational needs, please contact your child's class teacher, who will liaise with our school's SENDCo, Mrs Longden. A child with special educational needs may have a learning difficulty or disability that makes it more difficult for them to learn than other children their age. There are four main need types of SEN; cognition and learning, Communication and Interaction, Social, Emotional, Mental Health and/or a Physical Need.
School staff work together with parents, carers, support staff and external professionals to help any child who is in need of additional support. We may also seek your co-operation in calling for additional help for your child from resources outside the school, should the need arise.

PARAMEDICS will be helping out GPs over the winter in a bid to make sure anyone who needs medical attention gets it when they need it.
GPs across Southend and Rochford will be supported by paramedics which will mean GPs will be able to spend more time with patients over the demanding winter period.
As part of the deal, paramedics will also undertake home visits, which saves travel time for GPs - about 30 minutes per visit - which then frees up more appointments in GP practices.
Kevin Regan is based at Queensway surgery, Southend, and is the home visiting clinician for eight surgeries in the area.
He works alongside an advanced nurse practitioner visiting elderly, housebound and acutely unwell patients within the community.
Kevin said: "The addition of paramedics, and other allied health care professionals, into the primary care setting is an exciting development.
"We bring with us a wealth of clinical experience that, when combined with primary care training, can make a significant impact on patient care.
"The time saved allows the GPs to spend more time within their surgery seeing more patients and managing more complex conditions.
"All of the staff and patients encountered so far have welcomed the service and recognise its benefits. I look forward to my continued work within the community and development of further paramedics to allow the service to grow and reach more patients."
Expertise is also available at pharmacies, who can give treatments for minor health issues over the counter.

70cl / 17%
Fantastically versatile passionfruit liqueur produced in France and packaged in an instantly-recognisable black bottle.
Passoã is a passionfruit liqueur with a full-bodied sweetness that brings a twist and burst of zest to the palate. This passionfruit liqueur was created over 30 years ago. Since then, the red liquid in the distinguished black bottle has become a household name amongst the cocktail novices. Cocktail parties at home are simply not complete without it. With an ABV of 17%, Passoã is also a great low alcohol option. Made with real passionfruit from Brazil, Passoã is unmistakably tickled red with an intensely stimulating flavour.
It is a key ingredient in the UK's #1 cocktail, the Porn Star Martini; a must have in bars that you can also make at home with friends. But don't let the mixing stop there! It is the perfect way to "Pimp your Prosecco"!
With Passoã there are no boundaries to the delicious drinks you can make. And the Porn Star Martini can be whipped up in a flash!
1. In a shaker filled with ice cubes, add one measure of Passoã (40ml), another of vodka (40ml), a dash of vanilla syrup (10ml), the juice from half a lime (10ml), and the pulp of half a passion fruit. Give it a good shake!
2. Strain and serve in a fancy pre-chilled glass, and decorate with the other half of the passion fruit (for nibbling on later).
3. Follow with a shot of prosecco or champagne straight after.

A Preview of Coming Attractions.
Posted by Michael Kennedy on 7th April 2015 (All posts by Michael Kennedy)
I swear I am not trying to be the Cassandra of this blog but some things just jump out at me. A Richard Fernandez column today did that as it agreed with a post of mine on my own blog from several days ago.
A significant number of Somali immigrants' children have traveled to the middle east as jihadis.
ISIS has been luring thousands of Westerners to the battlefields of Syria and Iraq. The number of Americans who have traveled to Syria is still relatively small — in the neighborhood of 150 people — and a thin slice of that group, perhaps as many as two dozen Americans, are thought to have joined ISIS.
In the discussions at the White House this week, one city has focused minds: Minneapolis-St Paul. It had been ground zero for terrorist recruiters in the past, and is fast becoming the center of ISIS' recruitment effort in the United States.
This is a growing problem with the emergence of "lone wolf" attacks by jihadis.
The young man pictured above is one of many young black men, many recruited in prison, who have committed these actions.
Over the weekend, the FBI announced that it would treat Islamist Alton Nolan's alleged beheading of Colleen Hufford, 54, as a case of workplace violence. That despite the fact that Nolan's Facebook page contains a picture of Nolan giving the ISIS salute, multiple pictures of Osama Bin Laden, a screenshot of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, and a quote reading, "I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smile ye above their necks and smite all their fingertips off them."
Then, of course, we have another example of "workplace violence" courtesy of Major Hasan.

Christmas markets are the other seasonal phenomenon enjoying new popularity and bringing much needed lats, kroons and litas into the hands of small-business men and women.
The warm aroma of spicy mulled wine, fresh bread and traditional blood sausage will draw Finns and Swedes off ferries to visit Tallinn Old Town's Christmas Market right up until Jan. 1.
The market place is a first for the Estonian capital and is intended to help boost winter tourism and draw in holiday shopping dollars from nearby Nordic nations.
"We've had the Christmas Market idea for four years," said Paul Oberschneider, the main organizer of the Tallinn market and head of the real estate company Ober Haus.
"Christmas fairs create a community spirit at Christmas time all across Central Europe and Scandinavia."
Latvia has jumped on the seasonal market bandwagon this year as well, with a new 50-stall shopping haven in Old Town Riga's cobblestoned Dome Square, which will be open for business until Dec. 24.
"Dome Square will become the place where we feel the approach of the holidays, where an atmosphere will prevail which will create positive emotions in people," said J.C. Cole, director of the new non-profit organization Vecrigas Ziemassvetku Tirdzins (Old Riga Christmas Market) and president of Architectural Investment.
"We really wish our people to regard this festivity as a national celebration. It'll be a wonderful ending for the Riga 800 anniversary celebrations and become an annual tradition in the future."
While a seasonal market targeted solely toward Christmas shoppers hasn't caught on yet in Lithuania, the main arts and crafts market on Pilies Street in Old Town Vilnius almost doubles in size for the winter holiday season.
The pointed roofs topping the wooden stalls lining both sides of the street - backed by an imposing view of the castle - start multiplying as the number of merchants hawking amber baubles, hand-woven mittens, and both high and low quality antiques increases.
Winter shopping land
One stall holder at the Estonian market, Piibe Piibur, said sales of her knitted gloves and socks had taken off since she set up shop on the square's icy cobblestones instead of selling inside a regular store.
Finns and Swedes make up most of the morning market shoppers, since ferries arrive at the Tallinn port early in the day, while Estonians start shopping after 4 p.m., once their work day is finished, Piibur said.
"People are very joyful when they come here with their children looking for Christmas presents," said Piibur.
Kersti Murga said she was doing a roaring trade in ceramic houses which double as candleholders, while Elmar Kivipold said his pillows stuffed with grain, honey, buckwheat flour and cookies appealed more to Estonians than foreign visitors.
"Tourists aren't interested in such souvenirs," said Kivipold.
While some of the bestsellers vary very little from the north to the south of the Baltic states - amber jewelry, hand-woven patterned textiles in addition to leather book jackets and earthenware pottery - there are also local favorites.
Estonians are fond of blown glass and wooden toys, while Lithuanians snatch up carved oak bowls. Latvians eye traditional wooden spinning tops and ceramic whistles.
Costly cottages
Christmas shoppers may love the quaint feeling of browsing from one wooden stall to the next in the crisp winter air, but building and maintaining a market is not cheap.
The budget for Tallinn's Christmas Market is just over 3 million kroons ($170,450).
While the rents merchants pay for the wooden stalls cover the cost of construction, electricity and cleaning services provided by the municipality, without sponsors the market couldn't exist, Oberschneider said.
"There were quite a few sponsors this time," he said. "But hopefully next year it'll be a little better because we can't continue funding this on our own."
A large advertising campaign - with print ads aimed not only at English-speaking expatriates in the Baltics but at Nordic tourists as well - means larger costs than a run-of-the-mill market.
Riga's market, which is donating proceeds to the Latvian Children's Fund, is also dependent on such big name sponsors as Radisson SAS and Reval hotels, Sarma & Norde and Tritan.

Right after Christmas I was at Kroger doing my weekly grocery shopping and (being the slightly thrifty sort that I am) decided to check out the clearance shelves. To my surprise, I discovered dozens of cans of organic pumpkin all marked down to a ridiculously low price! Lucky me! Cheap AND organic doesn't happen very often. So, I bought them all and now have a stash of pumpkin to find creative uses for. This has posed a bit of a problem the last couple of months. First I went gluten free, now trying to eat Paleo and all my traditional recipes call for flour, milk, or some other temporarily forbidden food stuffs. So, I decided to figure out what sort of Paleo approved pumpkin dessert I could come up with. I found a pumpkin custard recipe on Against All Grain that looked promising. I did leave out a couple of her suggested ingredients so if you want the original pumpkin custard recipe, give her a visit. I decided to top my Maple Pumpkin Custard with maple glazed pecans. Nuts are an approved Paleo food, unlike the icecream my kids put on top of theirs. This pumpkin custard was well received by all family members and since I have about a dozen more cans of pumpkin to use up, I think I will be making this recipe frequently!

Cleveland Indians announced today that outfielder Grady Sizemore today underwent abdominal surgery in Philadelphia to repair a sports hernia. T
The 20-minute procedure was performed by Dr. William Meyers. Recovery from this procedure is 4-to-6 weeks. He already was on the 15-day disabled list with a knee contusion.
�The injury which resulted in today�s surgery has been bothering me since the slide in May," Sizemore said. " Knowing the two areas are related and also learning my knee condition is not serious gives me peace of mind going forward that I can finish the season healthy and help contribute to an exciting pennant chase.�
