Greetings precious little dove, Druthea. I AM Sananda. I AM the one known as Jesus the Christ and by many other labels. I come in service to Holy Creator / Great Spirit of ALL. Let us sit and share a prayer from a blessed brother who walked your place. His name was Sitting Bull.
O'great spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds, and whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me! I am small and weak, I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people. Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy--myself.
Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes.
So when life fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame.
Thank you for this sharing. This allows you each to remember why you are here and what is most important above all human experiences: that of perfecting your soul in honor and glory toward the true perfection of Our ONE Creator.
When you each learn to remain true to only self with integrity of growing beyond human emotion and limitation of understanding, you sit in the palm of God SOURCE. You accept responsibility where it is yours and you reject that which is not yours. You sit in council only with that SOURCE of LIGHT within you, when you lay in your deepest despair and confusion and as ONE with Our SOURCE you sort it out carefully and purposefully until the lesson is accepted by your soul, the forgiveness extended where necessary, and compassion and understanding replace the hurt and anger once harbored as a poison seeking refuge in your mind and body material.
We of the HOSTS of GOD of LIGHTED SOURCE witness the painful repression of creative expression, of idea, of exploration within the mind of GOD. WHY? You ones are afraid to disagree with one another or even with God's Hosts. For somewhere, sometime, someone or ones made it incredibly uncomfortable for you to disagree with them. Rather than persistence which often led to conflict, it was simply easier to give up the effort. Keep the semblance of peace while the war began to rage within. Many of you have turned your bodies and minds into battlegrounds of repressed hostility and anger and you most often bear those scars unto your death.
This is simply, precious ones, a matter of not knowing how to have discussion without seeking to always be RIGHT, instead of exploring possibilities with those you live and work with. Perhaps one of the most painful feelings is that of feeling that you are not appreciated for your work or intelligence, creativity, or the like. Many women have allowed themselves to be seen and not heard until most recent times in your history.
And children who are not allowed to be heard and to have sharing or an idea or explore a possibility often remain closed and unable to communicate effectively. Many of these now adult people run governments or manage others in corporate affairs. They remain the "walking wounded" until they take responsibility for finding the cause of their own despair and anger, and begin the steps to recovery. Most often these ones know not how to change and see not the problem in self, but instead [send] outward the blame for the circumstance which imprisons and poisons them and is of their own making.
When you ones who effort to work with others with common goals and interests to prepare for the transition times, learn to speak frankly and directly to one another about fears, concerns, and goals, you will avoid much heartache in the way of failing interrelationships. Too much power allowed to only one or two usually corrupts not only the ones holding power over others, but also the ideals of a given community are forgotten to protect the selfish needs of the one or two who become addicted to the power. Look at your world and you can see this occurrence nearly everywhere beginning right within the family structure through to the dreaded One World Order.
When the ones holding power are challenged and disagreement arises over how affairs are handled, and the ones disagreeing are not heard and allowed discussion, you have dictatorship. There is not a soul existing who will not rebel against inability to express itself creatively. Creative expression is the LIFE of the soul growth, it is the song of joy and inspiration shared by Our Divine Father. In the human experience, those in power will always try to discredit or destroy ones who challenge their power and authority and need to "do it my way or no way" attitude.
It is so common, precious ones, that now most of your countries and governments, institutions, corporations and families operate with the iron fist of "might over right".
It is time to learn a different way and this we will offer and instruct as requested and desired. There must always be rules and mutual cooperation in adhering to the Natural Laws of God and Creation. These are absolutes of which there must be no compromise. Since you ones are born with these in your soul, it is a matter of achieving and sharing the wisdom of why the laws are irrefutable. Honor your neighbor as God honors you and you honor self as you honor God/Creator. Honor, therefore, Creations which are abounding in your experience for in this way you honor nature and her ways and then harmony can be achieved within self.
You are children of one family, the family of Creator/Creation. When you fully understand the wisdom of ONENESS, your spirit will lead you to those of like mind who seek cooperation and achieve service to Creator in honor and integrity to perfect his/her own soul. YOUR mission and purpose will simply be THE mission and purpose of Creator. You will release the me-self to the one-self and thereupon achieve true peace of mind. You will not longer fail into the trap of victim, martyr, or feel inferior or superior for these are games of the human mind which you all will eventually grow beyond. Then, precious ones, that DREAM that every soul dreams will be yours to live--peace and love within and oneness with all. So be it.
Thank you Druthea for sitting with me. I see the aching heart is healing and you my precious have gained a bit of wisdom in these past months. Your only "crime" Dru, if you must find fault in self, is too little faith in self AND Creator, and let me share with you that this is what ALL of you suffer from to some degree or more. We will together build your faith and trust in God's voice within and in time when the wounds have healed, you will look upon this "dark" time with gratitude and acceptance.
Thank you precious brethren for allowing me council with my scribe of personal nature. Sometimes, although she hears well now, she needs to "see" the words as you are. Thank you for pondering these lessons. You are growing and Our Father is well pleased, whether you know this or believe it not.
I AM Sananda, Commander in Chief of spiritual growth and transition in behalf of My Father, God of Light and Creation.

Power of potato to curb appetite
In a newly patented process, scientists have extracted a molecule in potatoes responsible for satiety, the feeling of fullness. Sold as a supplement called Satise, one pill promises to give the feeling of having eaten four potatoes, according to its maker, Kemin Consumer Care. The active ingredient in Satise is a proteinase inhibitor (P12). When taken 30 minutes before a meal, a Satise capsule enhances the body's release of cholecystokinin, a compound naturally secreted into the blood stream in response to eating food. The compound then induces feelings of satiey, reducing caloric intake.

E.B. White was many things—a writer for The New Yorker, a stickler for certain elements of style, a poet, an essayist, and—according to James Thurber—someone very good at hiding from random visitors. He is perhaps best remembered, however, as a children's writer, thanks to a set of three remarkable books featuring animal protagonists, starting with Stuart Little, a little book about a talking mouse that later spawned three films and became a classic of children's literature.
Full disclosure: I hate it.
Stuart Little opens in fairy tale fashion, as Mrs. Frederick C. Little finds herself giving birth not to a normal baby, but to a tiny mouse about two inches long. Rather convenient that the mouse just happens to be born to a family with the last name of "Little," but we will move on. The Littles, to their credit, love him anyway, and on the second page of the book, Mrs. Little makes special clothing for him including a little suit with pockets for holding handkerchiefs, money and keys.
At this stage, my seven year old self dropped the book and went looking for a ruler. This took some doing—if you've ever had a younger brother, you will immediately understand—but after some drama I found it and measured a lira coin. It was about an inch wide, which meant that it would be about half the length of Stuart, plus the pocket still had to have room for keys. This meant that the pocket would have to cover most of the mouse, which didn't fit the illustrations or the text.
It felt, well, wrong.
I suppose it's some testimony to the book that I was immediately so involved that I wanted to check to see if it could be true, but at the time, it irked me. Finding out on page 29 that my suspicions were correct, and that Stuart and his pockets were too small for actual money, and that Stuart is carrying around, not coins, but rather bits of tin foil not actually accepted by New York City bus drivers as valid currency, did not help. Especially since later on, at least, he does seem to be carrying around actual money. Maybe.
Anyway. To continue! Stuart is quite part of the family, and there's some cute stuff about how he gets around the house given his size, and the issues he encounters, and the startling revelation that he lives with—get this—a cat. Named Snowball. Also a mouse hole which the Little family is terrified that Stuart will enter and get lost in, not that this terror inspires them to do something, like, I don't know, Other Littles, find a board and nail it over the hole, or, even failing that, put a piece of paper over the hole with some nice glue. Instead they worry and worry about it, and I have to say that on this reread, while I was delighted to see their love and acceptance for their little mouse son, their parenting skills could use a little bit of work.
This explains just why Stuart decides to take off from time to time, exploring the city and getting involved in boat races in Central Park (you can do this if you are the size of a mouse), and completely fails to explain why the family adopts a nearly dead bird and brings it into the house without doing anything about the cat. Stuart and the bird, Margalo, become good friends, and she saves his life, but alas, cat conspiracies force her to flee without a word.
Stuart follows her example. He picks up a small car perfectly sized for him that can turn invisible with the touch of a button, which initially leads to a hilarious scene and then immediately into a Very Sad Moment, complete with an illustration of a crying mouse. No wonder I hated this book. Moving on. He heads north to find Margalo, stopping along the way to teach school for a day as a substitute teacher and try to take young, beautiful Harriet Ames—a girl who, like him, is only two inches high—out for a canoe ride. This all ends in tears. Actual tears. And then, after some final poetic exchanges with a repairman, Stuart continues to head north and we never find out what happened to him or the bird.
Not that I'm, you know, still bitter about this or anything years after I first read it.
Stuart Little supposedly took White a decade or so to write, existing first as short stories, then as a partial book nobody wanted to buy, and then finally, in the last years of World War II, a book someone wanted to buy. Vestiges of that writing process remain: it's not just that this is a book seemingly without purpose, and one that drifts here and there, but it's a book that shifts rather dramatically in the middle.
I can't prove it, but my guess is that once White reached that middle, he got stuck. It might seem that a talking mouse could provide plenty of story opportunities. But apparently not. And White also worked for The New Yorker, and part of his job involved reading the news, and a lot of it, just as World War II was hitting. It is thus perhaps not surprising that midway through, the book changes from its mix of wistful to amusing vignettes and short stories, to a quest story—but a quest story that largely features getting the hell out New York City and almost never looking back. That this story also includes the chapter where Stuart abandons studies of arithmetic and spelling to discuss law and pacifism, and how he could properly rule the world, perhaps also speaks to White's frustrations.
The Harriet Ames chapters cast a particular pall over the book. It's not just that it all ends in tears, and that Harriet ends up walking away. Indeed, in some ways—since this is a quest story—Harriet walking away is exactly what the story needs at this point: Harriet is a distraction from Stuart's true goal, serving as the lovely maiden who attempts to drag the knight away from his quest. The problem is that Stuart, for all of his occasional courtliness in other circumstances, is absolutely horrible here. He starts by promising Harriet a canoe ride even though he doesn't actually own a canoe, and has never paddled one before. The canoe he eventually does purchase is a cheap toy, which at first leaks, and is then badly damaged. Harriet, who seems like a nice girl, suggests doing something other than sitting around and sulking. Stuart is completely shattered.
This chapter hints at something—at the loss of a dream, at trying to talk with someone who cannot understand how important that dream is to you, how devastating its loss is. Stuart's frustration is very real, and in that sense, understandable. But in another sense—Stuart's entire plan, after all, was in theory to do something that Harriet would like. When that doesn't work out, she offers several different alternatives—fixing the canoe and going canoeing later, imagining things about the canoe, or just going dancing at a club. Stuart, after saying "I'm afraid a woman can't understand these things," turns them all down. In the process, he doesn't just manage to deny himself the pleasure, for once, of hanging out with someone just his size, who could be a perfect companion, and doesn't just manage to destroy a chance to have fun in reality because of his dream of perfection, but also manages to be rude to Harriet, who really has done nothing to deserve any of this. I could deal with the first parts of this—it's a nice deep lesson about reality versus imagination. But the way Harriet was treated left me indignant and angry at Stuart—a feeling that hasn't changed on this reread, I'm afraid.
Part of the problem, no doubt, was my own expectations. Animal protagonists in children's literature, Aslan aside, are, granted, generally flawed. Think of Freddy the Pig's laziness, the Cowardly Lion's, well, cowardice, Winnie the Pooh's lack of brain, Paddington's ongoing tendency to land himself into considerable trouble. But for all that, they're fundamentally likable. The very few unlieable ones are introduced as unquestioned bad guys—described from the outset as evil, selfish, or cruel. Here, though, we had a mouse who, even before the quest, never seemed particularly likable, and after the Harriet incident, I couldn't like him at all. Not, to be fair, that Stuart is ever particularly mouselike either—small, certainly, and often overlooked, but his temperament is never the scurrying sort I tend to associate with mice, and he doesn't squeak. Perhaps that was another problem.
It probably doesn't help that Stuart never does send a single note to his family to let them know he's alive—even though earlier scenes had shown that, whatever his feelings towards them—mild fondness, I think—they panicked whenever he disappeared. To be fair, that is less Stuart, and more the way the book in general introduces intriguing elements and characters only to drop them completely later. The invisible car, for instance: after providing an amusing moment or two, Stuart decides to never turn the car invisible again, and the book's brief foray into science fiction is over. Various other characters are also dropped: the two cat antagonists, the boat racers in Central Park, the doctor, the….basically everyone that Stuart meets. It adds to the book's often disjointed, isolated feeling.
This isn't to say that Stuart Little doesn't have its moments. An early chapter explaining how Stuart manages to get around the house, and the difficulty he has turning the water on, is amusing. I also quite like Stuart's brother, George, who gets good ideas but is so easily distracted he rarely follows through with them, and the way the cats logically figure out how they can get around their responsibilities towards human hospitality. And I have to give full credit to Stuart's parents for welcoming him into the family despite his differences.
But this is still a book that leaves me unhappy and cold. It's probably just as well that it wasn't the first White book I read; if it had been, I don't think I would have continued to the next two. Let alone listened to anything he had to say about style.
Mari Ness is not as diligent about following The Elements of Style as she probably should be. She lives in central Florida, near the realm of a much friendlier Mouse.

• Kenneth C. Frazier of Merck, who was the first to step down from the White House's manufacturing advisory council following Mr. Trump's initially tepid response to the events in Charlottesville;
• Kevin Plank of Under Armour, who followed later in the day;
• Brian Krzanich of Intel, who made his own announcement hours afterward.
After earlier contentious moves by the president, other executives have also stepped down as advisers:
• Elon Musk of Tesla, who left Mr. Trump's Strategic and Policy Forum in June because of the president's withdrawal from the Paris climate change accord;
• Robert A. Iger of Walt Disney, who also left the strategic forum because of the climate withdrawal;
• Travis Kalanick of Uber, who departed the president's economic advisory council in February, after pressure from Uber customers.
Many more chief executives spoke out against racial discrimination and white supremacy, including Timothy Cook of Apple, Lloyd C. Blankfein of Goldman Sachs (neither of whom sits on a presidential advisory council) and Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase (who does).
General Electric issued a statement saying that it had "no tolerance for hate, bigotry or racism," but said that its chairman, Jeffrey R. Immelt, would remain a presidential adviser.
It's easy to see why many executives choose not to make a noisy departure from the advisory perch. After Mr. Frazier of Merck made his move to leave the manufacturing council, Mr. Trump took a jab at the C.E.O. on Twitter. Nine hours later, the president took another.
(Mr. Frazier had the apparent backing of his board when he made his decision. One director, Leslie A. Brun, told The Times, "I thought the pettiness of the president's response, on a personal level, is indicative of how far we've sunk.")
Many of the C.E.O.s and business moguls who have remained presidential advisers, however uncomfortably, have argued that it is better for them to retain a seat at the table on important issues.
But DealBook's Andrew Ross Sorkin argues: "That's a valid argument — to a point. If the president isn't following your advice or the values you espouse, when should you get up? Of course, big policy decisions like tax reform remain just around the corner, so many executives are desperate to keep a line open to the president even if it is only one-way."
Bloomberg News, however, notes that the strategic and policy forum hasn't done much.
Trump Softens Stance on China and Trade
Last week, Mr. Trump was eager to take a tough line on China as the North Korean threat escalated, at least verbally.
But as he approved an investigation of Beijing's approach to intellectual property, the president kept his remarks broad and general.
"The theft of intellectual property by foreign countries costs our nation millions of jobs, and billions and billions of dollars," Mr. Trump said. "For too long, this wealth has been drained from our country while Washington has done nothing."
The move reflects the complex web of diplomacy required to deal with North Korea. But it also highlights the difficulties of threatening China with economic moves. Mr. Trump's once prominent warning of a trade war on steel has bogged down in legal concerns and fears from the American steel industry.
Some observers see the president moving more toward negotiation than outright conflict.
"The big issue is, what does Trump do? After you find that China has acted unreasonably, what is the remedy?" said Gary Clyde Hufbauer, a trade expert at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
Uber Investor Defends Suit Against Kalanick
Seemingly no day goes by without another flare-up at Uber. This time, it's from Benchmark, the venture investment firm that sued Mr. Kalanick to push him off the ride-hailing company's board.
Benchmark has issued an open letter to Uber employees defending its lawsuit. Here are the highlights:
• "This isn't about Benchmark versus Travis. It's about ensuring that Uber can reach its full potential as a company. And that will only happen if we get rid of the road blocks and distractions that have plagued Uber, and its board, for far too long."
• On the search for a new chief executive: "It has appeared at times as if the search was being manipulated to deter candidates and create a power vacuum in which Travis could return."
• "Talk to any great C.E.O. and she or he will tell you that having a strong, business-friendly C.F.O. is essential to any company's success. Yet Uber has operated without one for over two years now. This cannot be justified, given the scale and complexity of the business, and is symptomatic of the broader problems with past management practices."
Benchmark also argued that its move to sue Mr. Kalanick was a last resort. Lawyers for Mr. Kalanick have argued that Benchmark's lawsuit should be moved to arbitration.
Something to note: CNBC read in the letter a hint that Benchmark might know of even more scandals at the company.
Buffett Finally Sells Out of G.E.
It was one of Warren E. Buffett's most famous investments: a $3 billion bet on General Electric at the depths of the financial crisis. The move was meant to shore up one of America's top corporate icons — and make some money along the way.
Now Mr. Buffet, the chief of Berkshire Hathaway, has fully cashed out.
Berkshire disclosed on Monday that it sold the last of its stock in G.E. in the second quarter this year. The 10.6 million shares would have been worth about $315 million as of June 30.
A reminder of what the G.E. investment, made in October of 2008, entailed:
• A 10 percent dividend;
• Warrants to buy $3 billion worth of stock at $22.25 within five years of the investment.
How richly did the bet pay off for Mr. Buffett? Counting both stock appreciation and the hefty dividends that G.E. had to pay out, Berkshire reaped about $1 billion in profit, according to The Wall Street Journal.

I started writing this post two weeks ago. I started with the photo edits and then.... nothing!!!! OK not nothing. As I mentioned on Monday I've had a crazy couple weeks!! I was alone at work for two weeks (over month end might I add), our work car had an accident and was a write off (which meant I had to do all the driving and sort out the insurance stuff on top of my usual work) , I fought with Home affairs to get a visa for gentleman coming to do M&E for us ( which is a whole different post), pre-tested a research questionnaire for a Survey I'm heading up to research, with the WHO, the alcohol marketing practises among youth in Nam (and had to enter all the data!!! I was having flashbacks to Honour's year thesis!!!) and spent a VERY interesting week in a conference with organisations all related to Sex workers.... oh and I'm going to Tanzania for a week for training on the a fore mentioned research.
did I mention I'm also trying to start a business?? cos I'm crazy like that :) to launch said business I need to develop a portfolio which is what the photo's below illustrate. (p.s.please Go like my Facebook page )
the computer is essential :) As is a good buddy on Skype on the other side to talk too while you work
( hi Sarah *waving*)
I basically sat in that open space in the middle of that semi-circle and worked..
and then I ran out of glue... and the room looked like that for the next week...
We also decided to tweak some furniture in the bedroom ... I mentioned my enjoyment with moving furniture here . we had some teeny tiny side tables that were two low for the bed and needed some drawers. there was an extra drawer in the Chest of drawers and it was the right Height so we moved it so Willie could use it as a side table..
it used to live here under the shelf but I quite like the open feel it gives
I also moved the shelf in the bathroom from next to the toilet to under the sink ( mainly cos I could visualize my toothbrush falling into the loo when bumped the wrong way!)
But I actually kind of prefer it where it is now too... it needs to be painted or something to give it a bit more 'presence' but for a free shelf ( I shopped our house ) it's pretty good!
to un-wind a bit in amidst of all the chaos I did a bit of crochet :)
I made them for two awesome little people that belong to the awesome big people in our bible study :)
Whew!!! that was quite a recap!! hopefully it's not so long before I get a chance to post again :)
what you been up to lately??

Abu Dhabi University places strong emphasis on research as a key objective of its strategic goals. We are committed to promoting research, including through international collaborations. For this purpose, the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs has launched a new initiative that provides an opportunity for outstanding researchers to collaborate with researchers at our institution. The program not only aims to improve our research productivity but also to enhance our reputation and visibility through developing and strengthening collaborations. It will also enable ADU researchers to develop as researchers while, jointly with international collaborators, contributing to nationally and regionally relevant areas of research.
International researchers are invited to apply. The program allows established researchers to join us as Visiting Fellows or Senior Visiting Fellows. Based on the needs of individual projects, Fellows will be able to work remotely as contributors or to work with us at one of our Campuses in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain or Dubai for short periods of time. Candidates are expected to be accomplished researchers publishing at the highest level in their fields. They will also have experience of supporting the development of less experienced researchers and working in teams. Joint publications and collaborative research programs with ADU researchers would be the key outcome of this initiative. Fellowships will be funded to cover an honorarium and, where appropriate, travel and accommodation. In general, the Fellowships will be part of internally funded research initiatives to include faculty time, conference travel, research assistantships, and other research related expenses. The collaboration aims to build productive teams comprising of international research experts and ADU researchers as well as cultivate fruitful transfer and sharing of knowledge to benefit both parties. Based on performance, the Fellowships may be extended.
We will consider expressions of interest in any of the fields of our academic provision ( www.adu.ac.ae ). Applicants are requested to send their resumes, including a list of publications, along with a one page statement specifying their suggested area for collaboration, experience of working in research teams and as research mentors, and why they would be interested in such a collaboration, to firstname.lastname@example.com .
In your application, please refer to Professorpositions.com

Launching a cap and gown rental business is a rewarding experience if you have the creativity and tenacity necessary to be a successful entrepreneur. Here are tips and advice that can make your business profitable, stable and built to last.
Ready to graduate into the world of entrepreneurship? We provide some valuable suggestions on opening a cap and gown rental business.
(article continues below)
Best Practices for Cap and Gown Rental Company Business Plans
The idea of writing a business plan is intimidating to most aspiring cap and gown rental business owners. If it's comprehensive and well-written, however, your business plan will serve as a strategic anchor point and a calling card for external stakeholders.
After you have written you plan, you'll also need to develop a strategy for your next steps.
To optimize the impact of your plan, it's important to consider a distribution strategy. To help monitor your progress, you'll need to implement a system for tracking business plan distribution in your startup.
Review the Competition
Before you open a cap and gown rental business in your area, it's essential to determine how you will fit in the competitive landscape. Use the link below to find competitors near you. Complete the form by entering your city, state and zip code to get a list of cap and gown rental businesses that are close by.
How tough is the competition in the market you are considering? If the competition is too tough, you may need to think about starting the business in a different area or even start a completely different business instead.
Studying the Market
If you are seriously contemplating launching a cap and gown rental business, it's essential that you speak with somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?
But, a person who owns a cap and gown rental business in a location that is not competitive to you will be much more likely to talk with you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
How would you find an entrepreneur who is running a cap and gown rental business in another community?
Easy. Find them using our link below and start calling until you are successful.
Leveraging the Branding Benefits of a Cap and Gown Rental Business Acquisition
As an emerging cap and gown rental business startup, your company are at a competitive disadvantage because you brand is just beginning to establish an identity in the marketplace.
Buying a business to get an established brand is a common strategy among growth-minded cap and gown rental business entrepreneurs. As a startup, the best you can hope for is to gradually develop brand awareness over a period of months and years.
However, a cap and gown rental business acquisition can put you at the helm of a brand that is already highly trusted by your target market.
Don't Rule Out Franchising
Startup small business owners sometimes lack the experience and resources to make a go of it in a competitive business environment. Franchised startups have an edge over other startups because they launch with many resources already in place.
Our rental franchise directory contains information about some of the best cap and gown rental business franchisors in the nation and gives you the ability to identify the one that is right for you.

Phil Collins is coming out of retirement! Yay?
You should probably temper your expectations until somebody finds Philip Bailey
The former Genesis frontman-turned-piano-ballad-weenie-king told Rolling Stone he's "raring to go." "In the Air Tonight" you're probably thinking excitedly, followed by "that reminds me: I need to Google 'Sussudio' meaning." (No, you don't. It's just as stupid as you'd think).
Who hasn't missed Phil Collins? Well, just remember, this isn't actually Phil Collins and really doesn't have anything to do with Phil Collins:
This is Phil Collins, and it could – and probably will – happen again. Nobody needs that.

It's a sad fact that folk dancing does not lend itself to social distancing in any way.

I know I've written about my experiences about several cars that I've test drove, and typically I've fallen in love with them all. Well, just like a Maury episode, that's a lie. Okay, not a lie to be exact, more like a, "I thought I was in love with you but then another vehicle came a long and totally swept me off my feet" kinda thing. I totally didn't see it coming. I first met the vehicle on a cold night, in a lighted parking lot in Houston. I hurried up and entered the vehicle, not truly paying attention to all its beauty. I looked at the basics and even cursed at the blue Goddess as we couldn't figure out how to increase the volume for the GPS. Yet she still led us to where we needed to go. A Walmart. The vehicle was a 2017 Toyota Highlander Hybird.
I was allowed to drive the vehicle for an honest review, as always, my opinions are my own
We rushed in to get our supplies, which consisted of the usual when we go somewhere; a big box of variety bags of chips, water and a Pepsi for my Pepsi addicted friend. We needed to be quick, as the night was alive, freezing and we needed to get the children fed and in their pajamas for the night. Luckily as we made our way to the car we could unlock the vehicle as we approached and was ready to load when we reached it. The children got in their positions and I quickly loaded up the back, realizing just how much space this vehicle has, which should have been an indication for what was about to come this long weekend. We decided to drive to our hotel, which at this point was about 20 minutes away. We figured it would be our best bet to get dinner over there. The vote was won for pizza, but to our dismay, all the pizza places were already closed except one. So we entered the address and headed out to seek pizza, but there was a problem. We couldn't find the location. What are we to do. The area looks questionable. But then we saw it. A taco truck.
The taco truck was parked in a gas station parking lot. We drove up to it and noticed some customers waiting inside their truck for their food. My friend and I noticed the children were asleep, and if you know them then you too wouldn't want to wake them, much less get three kids out of the car in a questionable area in the middle of the night with the wind shield below what I've been accustomed to as a Atlantan for the past 12 years. Thank God the Toyota Highlander was a push start, so we grabbed the keys and locked the doors while we looked at the menu. But the air was colder than what we thought and the ladies in the taco truck were finishing up the customers order. We couldn't wait out there, so we rushed back into the truck. Here is where we waited. Warm. Comfortable. We overlooked the area as we sat their toasting our bottoms in the heated leather seats. Gazing off across the street we saw some stray dogs running in a stores parking lot. I noticed the sign for the store, 'Thang Hung'.
We received our tacos and nachos in a timely manner, then we made our way to the hotel. Here is where I realized that, just because you're in Texas, it doesn't mean everything is bigger. This is where the rear camera came in handy, it made parking in the small parking spaces much easier to navigate. I appreciated the vehicle a little more at this point, even though she still didn't speak while navigating us through the GPS.
We entered our room; tired, hungry and cold. For some reason the hotel didn't believe in heat in the hallway. We ate our food and then called it a night. It was late at this point, way after midnight, which means my friend and I were pushing 24 hours of being awake as her and I worked early hours the day before. We had plans for the next day though, which is what we've been planning to do since we booked this trip. We would drive to Lake Charles in Louisiana for the day and then for the remainder of the time we would get the Houston City Pass and explore all that is has to offer.
As the next morning arrived we were in no shape to go outside. Still feeling cold we knew that Lake Charles would be out of the question, as we had planned on spending a bulk of the day outdoors. So we did nothing for the whole morning. The children played, my friend and I spent our time on our phones, browsing.
We were totally okay with this scenario. Typically, we are out the door very early on the go the whole day. This was the first time that we actually relaxed. I started to complain that I needed some warmer clothes as I brought workout clothes thinking the temperature would be warmer. So, myself and the crew got ready, and headed out.
As we started to drive down the freeway, we noticed that Houston had a lot of shopping centers. Like a lot.
Like a lot, a lot.
More than we ever seen in one space. I'm pretty sure there was a Ross, Marshalls and some sort of shoe store within each shopping center within a mile span. We stopped at one, and proceeded to do what we ended up doing the whole trip. Shop. This was a first for us. Like I said, we typically don't shop at all on a trip, so it was really nice to go at our own pace, take our time, relax and just do what the locals do. Which is looking like shopping as there were more stores than we saw houses, apartments and the likes. I'm so glad we ended up in the Toyota Highlander Hybrid, it had plenty of room for all our goodies that we were finding.
And I lied again. It isn't true, that isn't all we did. We also drove to Galveston, which was a short 45 minute drive from Houston. Not a bad drive at all. We rode smoothly there and by this time we mastered the volume of the GPS, so all was good. What was even greater is that driving the Toyota Highlander Hybrid helped us save some cash. We had a full tank when picking it up initially, drove about 25 miles to the hotel the night we arrived and then around the area while we checked out different stores and to get the Galveston still left us with 1/2 a tank of gas! This is when I really fell in love. I couldn't believe that is all we has used for driving it around as much as we had.
The next day we were going to make the drive to San Antonio to visit my sister. With that long of a drive we knew we needed something to keep the kids entertained Cue Blue-Ray player in the back! The Toyota Highlander Hybrid is has three rows, so although perfect for us to lay the seats down and use all that space to fill up with the items we purchased, it was equally as good to raise the seats and give the kids more room to enjoy the ride. They decided sitting in the third row with the second row seats lowered would work for them best, and it did. We easily controlled the Blue-Ray via the touch screen console in the front, of which allowed us to access the XM radio, Navigation as well. And if I wanted to sync my phone, then that too.
I drove comfortably to San Antonio, as the blue beauty allowed not only comfort and ample room, but also the seat had great lumbar support. It is totally a great road trip vehicle. Even the seats in the back reclined, which is amazing if the passengers in the back weren't of a pint size. The next morning we parted our hotel to head to the airport for our early morning flight. We stuffed the back with more than half the stuff we came with. Luckily we found some very inexpensive suitcases to stuff it all in. Everything fit perfectly in the back, with room to store more.
And this is how I fell in love to Toyota's 2017 Highlander Hybird.
It's perfection in the form a vehicle.
- It possesses that latest and greatest; all the bells and whistles, all the technology you need in a vehicle whether it's the whole family or a road trip with friends
- Fashion forward; it looks good! Gorgeous lines, amazing leather seats
- Money saver; saving money by saving gas. This car is NOT a gas guzzler
I have nothing bad to say about the Toyota Highlander Hybrid. It's my new love. I thought of several times that I wanted to drive it home, but I don't look good in orange or stripes. When I arrived home and got back in my car, it didn't even feel right. Now the Toyota Highlander Hybrid, that felt right. No question about it. I'm in an owner/vehicle relationship with a 2004 BMW 325i but in love with a 2017 Toyota Highlander Hybrid.

Owned by Neal and Andrea Wollenberg, Uncorked Inspiration is a creative arts venue, offering "paint and sip" classes and more. It opened doors in downtown Manhattan on May 1st.
Neal Wollenberg describes himself as having an entrepreneurial spirit. He says that he has always felt the urge to be his own boss and had the hope that someday he could turn his artistic interests into a business. His wife Andrea, who describes herself as the more business-like of the two, did not share that desire initially. The Wollenbergs, however, started an "entrepreneurship journey" together during the summer of 2015 when they conceived of the idea for Uncorked Inspiration. They considered the possibility on and off as Neal showed his paintings at regional craft fairs, meanwhile working at his full-time job. By chance, a local business owner spotted Neal's work at one of these shows and, after talking with him about the Wollenbergs' idea, invited Neal to teach paint and sip classes at her winery, Liquid Art.
Neal taught classes once a month at the country venue for half a year and then the Wollenbergs made the decision to set-up business at Iron Clad, a local co-working space. The downtown location provided them with a visible venue where they were able to host events more regularly – setting up and tearing down materials for each. Of equal importance, utilizing the co-working space helped the Wollenbergs to minimize the fixed costs of the business while they built up capital and assessed the market.
During this timeframe, Andrea and Neal contacted the Kansas SBDC. As a start-up business, they had lots of questions (e.g., about sales tax) and needed assistance getting answers. Also, as their paint and sip classes were becoming more popular, Neal and Andrea felt the desire to pursue the additional things that they could offer if Uncorked Inspiration had its own space. The Wollenbergs had a vision for the business but not yet a fully developed plan for how to get there. While working on this with their SBDC advisor, as Neal describes it, "there was one moment – almost cathartic – when Laurie asked us, If the perfect space became available for you to open your business out on your own, would you do it? And honestly, that scared us to death."
As scary as the question was, it also prompted the Wollenbergs to assess what they really wanted and what it would take for them to get it. The question opened their eyes to the possibility that what they wanted might be within their reach much sooner than they had realized. A few months later, Neal and Andrea found an ideal space at 121 South 4th Street and couldn't stop thinking about that question, If the perfect space became available… would you do it? The answer: they signed the lease and stepped out into their own space.
The step wasn't a leap of faith, though. After having worked on a business plan, created a budget for the cost of expanding into a brick-and-mortar location and produced a cash flow projection, the Wollenbergs felt comfortable that the change in business model was feasible.
"We have been incredibly careful in how we've built our business," says Neal. Nevertheless, committing to the step from utilizing a shared space to renting their own location felt like a big deal. "Well, leasing a space is pretty scary, so that was a challenge. When you decide to make a leap from a co-working space where you pay a relatively small amount to leasing your own space where you're not only paying a larger amount per month, but you're also contracted for a year… that definitely can be a challenge. However, we felt that with the paint and sip as our anchor, we could manage this financial transition."
The Wollenbergs had ideas for offering more than paint and sip classes. They envisioned an art gallery featuring local artists, a crafting space for make and take items, and the possibility of more workshops and art classes. As much as they loved Iron Clad, they needed their own space in order to realize these goals.
Asked how they are feeling about the step, the Wolenbergs say, "We're excited. Scared. Worried. Optimistic. We love our space!" The Wollenbergs find it rewarding when people have fun in their classes and get to relax and enjoy themselves. It is a "therapeutic outlet" for patrons and business owners alike. Neal and Andrea are also taking pleasure in being able to hang works by local artists on the walls of Uncorked Inspiration and have already started seeing sales from the gallery.
As for what is coming up, the Wollenbergs say that they are very excited about introducing their new offerings: a BYOB DIY Bar (i.e., "bring your own beverage/booze" "do it yourself" arts and crafts space), Succulent Saturdays (workshops for potting succulent plants), varied art workshops, and private art lessons. "We have so many things planned! We're truly looking forward to all of the amazing things we'll be able to offer to the Manhattan community."
Best wishes to Neal and Andrea and thank you for sharing your creative inspirations!

Synthetic Biology Moves into the Real World
Synthetic biology involves applying information technology to design and build living things. In the process, it will enable us to transform industries like agriculture, health care, and energy in the coming 25 years more than we have in the past 5,000 years.
To understand what's happening and why it's happening now, consider the fact that the ability to decode and digitize genomes has been slightly more than doubling every year for the past quarter of a century. As a result, the power to extract genetic information from living systems has increased 100 million times in 25 years. Similarly, the cost of synthesizing DNA has been falling at its own exponential rate.
The result, explains Paul Freemont of the Center for Synthetic Biology at Imperial College in London, is that "We can now chemically synthesize very large sections of DNA, and that allows us to design biological systems from scratch, just as an engineer designs and builds a piece of equipment starting from basics."1
The opportunities are unlimited. While the science is still new, it is already generating big economic returns. In 2010, U.S. revenues from genetically modified systems surpassed $300 billion; that's the equivalent of more than 2 percent of GDP.2 Breaking this figure down further, three primary areas of research are producing profits so far:
- Genetically modified drugs, at $75 billion
- Genetically modified seeds and crops, at $110 billion
- Industrial biotech, such as fuels, materials, and enzymes, at $115 billion
But this is just the beginning of a technological revolution that will transform several industries and improve many aspects of our lives. According to a framing paper presented recently at a conference at Cambridge University that brought together the leading experts in the new science, synthetic biology will make an impact on at least six areas:3
- Bioenergy, including synthetic fuels, biofuels, electricity, and hydrogen.
- Agriculture and food production, including engineered crops, pest control, and fertilizers.
- Environmental protection and remediation, including restoration, monitoring, and detection.
- Consumer products, including computers, sporting goods, and cosmetics.
- Chemical production, including industrial compounds, high-value compounds, plastics, and chemical synthesis.
- Human health, including medical drugs and devices, over-the-counter medicine, and clinical therapies.
According to the framing paper, titled "How Will Synthetic Biology and Conservation Shape the Future of Nature?," some of the benefits will include:4
- The ability to raise crops using fewer pesticides
- Greater food security
- Improved nutrition
- Livestock that produce medications or biological substances such as spider silk
- Better sources of biofuels
- New ways to target infectious diseases and cancer, develop vaccines and cell therapies, enable regenerative medicine, or make cancer cells self-destruct
For example, one presentation at the conference focused on a research project by Oxford University undergraduates...

ICT Coordinators: The educators behind the scenes
Miri Shonfeld, Zipi Zelkovitz, Kibbutzim College of Education and Mofet Institute, Israel ; Olzan Goldshtein, Mofet Institute, Israel
Society for Information Technology & Teacher Education International Conference, in San Diego, CA, USA ISBN 978-1-880094-78-5 Publisher: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), Waynesville, NC USA
This study focuses on ICT coordinators in teacher training colleges in Israel. The study aims at characterizing ICT integration in the Colleges from an ICT coordinator's perspective: vision and plans for the implementation of information technology and the means for doing so in the Colleges. The research was conducted using qualitative methods and the findings are based on a content analysis of in-depth interviews and analyses of Rubrics (STaR Chart) filled out by all participants in the study. The findings indicate that, in general, each college created its own program for implementing ICT. The coordinators pointed out the same kinds of difficulties in implementing ICT regarding faculty members, pedagogical trainers and students, as well as the difficulties of working within budgetary constraints. While indicating the importance of incorporating e-learning environments into practice in the school system, most coordinators realized that this is still in its infancy. The findings also illustrate the coordinators' ideologies and their characters.

How to have a minimalist wardrobe?
Have you ever heard of having a minimalist wardrobe? It's the French minimalist, feminist and green blogger from unpeubocauxalafolie.com who made me understand what a minimalist wardrobe is and how to have one.
What does minimalism mean?
It is generally known as a way of going back to the simple things in life. There is a desire to free yourself from everything that is not necessary. Concerning the wardrobe, it is seen as a "zero waste" logic.
The "zero waste" logic
This logic is based on four principles: refuse what you don't need, reduce what you need, reuse, recycle, compost the rest.
Refuse the fast fashion brands, compulsive shopping, advertisement, which are contrary to the zero waste logic
Reduce your consumption. Think twice when you want to buy something, prefer quality over quantity, buy handmade products etc.
Have a look at your mother or grandmother's wardrobe, maybe you will find nice clothes which are fashionable again, or make new clothes out of it them. Don't forget to have a look at the shared wardrobes of your city.
There are many things you can create from old clothes. For example, you can make tawashi sponges from old socks.
Tips to sort out your clothes
You have to ask yourselves a few questions to sort out your clothes and put away what is unecessary :
♦ Is this item of clothing in a good shape?
♦ Do I wear it often?
♦ Do I have several samples of it?
♦ Can I sort it with at least three other outfits?
♦ Could the space it takes be used for something else?
I know it can sound hard to get rid of some clothes you were attached to. But try to think about your reasons for doing so and I assure you, you will feel much better once you have done it.
What do you do with the things you don't want anymore?
As for the clothes which are in a good shape you can sell them on websites, a flea market, or just give them to your friends.
For the others that can't be worn anymore, you can give them to organisation which can use them to make insulation, or reuse them for something else.
A few numbers that made me think…
Wetypically only wear 30% of our wardrobe
195000 tonnes of clothes have already been reused
So I decided to do my own minimalist wardrobe
I thought the change of season the right time to sort out my closet. I was surprised to have no problem of getting rid of my clothes, I must say I feel better now I have less clothes. I feel lighter, it's easier to know what I want to wear and I take better care of the clothes I have left. I made some money selling my clothes for low prices and do not regret selling them at all.
Even though I don't consider myself have having a total minimalistic lifestyle, it is important to me to be conscious about what I consume and the way I consume it. I try to reduce what I need and what I use, without it being too tiresome.
If you want more information about how to have a minimalist lifestyle, I recommend you visit Emilie's blog unpeubocauxalafolie.com!
