Dilbert says, "Apparently your bad time management is creating the illusion that I'm not proactive." Dilbert says, "I'll take the liberty of signing you up for a time management class." The Boss says, "Don't do that!" Dilbert says, "So...I should not be proactive?" The Boss says, "Just do what I want before I know I want it." Dilbert says, "I hope the next thing you want is sarcasm."

Gerry, I think you could advice Weerasak to offer different shipping solutions also.
For example he may consider registering with DHL and offering a shipping with them.
A 0.5kgs small size shipment which probably fits a few MB2 or UB1 boards could be shipped to the USA for about 19-22Euros depending on the location and the delivery time is 1-3days only with very detailed tracking.
The post office takes a similar package for only a few Euros cheaper, in the 16-19 Euros range and that can take upto 4 weeks to get delivered even if it is marked with priority option and there is only very basic tracking informations available.

In 1530 Martin Luther was hiding out in a castle for the second time in his life. His friends were appearing before the Emperor to defend their beliefs and Luther wanted to be close by, but it wasn't safe for him to be in public. He had already been excommunicated and at this point he was under what was called "the Imperial ban." This meant that he was legally considered dead by the empire. And anyone was allowed to rob him, injure him or kill him without any legal consequences. So it was not a good idea for Luther to be on the streets.
While the thought of being locked away in a German castle in Bavaria may sound like a very romantic type of imprisonment, it was a time of deep depression for Luther. A hostile government and a tyrannical church were breathing down his neck. He was surrounded by the threat of death and the very real possibility that his life was over.
There was one sentence from Scripture that lifted Luther from the darkness of his confinement and gave him some hope that there was still something to live for and that death would NOT have the last word. He said this one verse helped him like no one on earth could have helped him. He scribbled it on the wall of this study – like holy graffiti.
This verse defined Luther. It changed his perspective. It saved him.
This one verse of Scripture turned Luther into a composer. He wrote the only choral composition he would ever write based on this one six-word biblical sentence:
I shall not die but live.
This verse comes from Psalm 118. We heard an exciting version of it this morning. It's an Old Testament text, so the author had no knowledge, of course, of Easter or the resurrection of Christ. But Luther did. And so do we. In fact, Easter places Luther's favorite Bible verse – I shall not die but live — in the context of Jesus' own dying and living. And because of his death and his resurrection, we can also say, "I shall not die but live."
We have the story Jesus' resurrection today from the Gospel of Matthew. Each Gospel writer tells their own version of the Easter story – each one providing unique details. Which, by the way, adds credibility to the story. There was no collusion among the Gospel writers to tell the exact same account. And Matthew includes some details that the other three do not.
Matthew is the only one who tells us about the Roman guards placed at the tomb. They appear as a force to be reckoned with; you'd have to get past them either to get in or, I suppose, OUT of the tomb. Perhaps they can represent for us the imperial forces that had it in for a guy like Luther or the threats and demands of life we all feel breathing down our neck. Perhaps Matthew's soldiers at the tomb can represent the hostile impediments that stand in the way of our life and freedom.
Did you hear what happened to the soldiers on Easter morning? Matthew tells us that they fell back like dead men! In the presence of Jesus these threatening forces lose their consciousness, their power and authority. They seem well armed and ready to stand up to anyone coming or going, but in a wonderful irony THEY are considered dead and the guy they laid in the tomb LIVES!
A living Jesus disarms these forces that bear down on us and he strips them of their ability to hurt us. With Jesus alive, all the things that that keep us down and block our way, are rendered powerless, including scary Roman soldiers, burdens and problems that don't seem to budge, unexpected terrors, anxieties about what lies ahead for us and worries about things outside of our control. Later on we going to sing, "he lives to silence all our fears." That's why Jesus lives and that's why WE can say, I shall not die, but live.
The other detail Matthew gives us has to do with the faithful women who came to the tomb. In the Gospel of Mark, presumably the first Gospel account written which includes the first story of Easter recorded, the women run away from the empty tomb trembling with fear and telling no one what they had seen and heard. Period. That's the end of the story in Mark. But Matthew tries to add some important information to the record and says, "they ran trembling with fear AND JOY!" In Mark's Gospel, they tell no one . . . AT FIRST. But Matthew makes the women into evangelists! They DID tell someone – they preached the good news to the disciples just as the angel at the tomb and later on, Jesus himself had commissioned them to do!
They were in the presence of death – in a garden of tombs. They came to perform the duties associated with death. They came wearing their grief and the mourning clothes. But they were lifted from all of that with the good news that Jesus lives. They will NOT die, but live! They will live with JOY! They will live to tell others! They will LIVE with a new mission and purpose! They will live with hope and confidence!
Can we?
It feels like we have so much working against us sometimes, doesn't it? So much that gets in our way. These hostile impediments sometimes seem to have been unleashed in our lives to rob us of joy, to injure our spirits and threaten us with death. We each have our own obstacles, our own confinements and plenty of things that could breed hopelessness.
But these things have no power over us in the presence of Jesus. They have no right to define us. Only the promise of resurrection — the life of Christ — can do that. Jesus is alive. He lives for you. We are alive because of him and we have something to live for. He already fought the battle. He already defeated any possible obstacle to our life with him. He's here today, in fact, to pour out his life for you and to send us out from here.
So scribble this across the story of your life . . . say it to yourself every morning, when you look in the mirror. Say it to those scary things that stand in the way. Say it when you feel trapped and down. Say it when those controlling forces start breathing down your neck. Say it when you have to confront whatever is on your plate. Say it when the things of this life feel too big and threatening. Say it with joy and with a full knowledge that Jesus is alive and is for you. Say it and believe it. Because this is a truth that matters.
I shall not die, but live.

If you have been arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI), call our New Jersey DWI attorneys to discuss your case and begin planning your next steps. These are extremely serious charges that should never be taken lightly since they can negatively impact many aspects of your future. For years, we have zealously advocated for New Jersey clients and you can rest assured that if we take on your case, we will proudly do the same for you.
Potential New Law
New Jersey lawmakers are considering revamping New Jersey DWI laws to reduce the amount of time for which a person caught driving under the influence in the state would lose their driver's license. But there is a catch. In exchange, the driver would be mandated to install an ignition interlock device into his or her vehicle. An ignition interlock device is a breathalyzer for a person's vehicle, which requires that the driver blow into a mouthpiece on the device before starting the vehicle. Currently, state law requires repeat drunk drivers and first-time drunk drivers with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .15 or higher to install ignition interlock devices; however, the installation of these devices is not legally required for other first time offenders.

The Wauconda Fire District has recovered the body of a boy who fell off a paddleboat and into Bangs Lake on Friday night.
About 7:20 p.m., two boys were out paddleboating on Bangs Lake in Wauconda.
The kids had been playing in the neighborhood when they came across the boats and decided to go out onto the water, officials said.
The two panicked because of the strong wind and rough water conditions, and they jumped into the lake to swim back to shore, police said.
Nearby fishermen overheard screaming. They pulled an 11-year-old boy out of the water and took him to shore. First responders could not initially locate the second boy, who was identified as Geraldo Rodriguez, 9.
The district called for assistance from divers and sonar technicians. The effort was switched from rescue to recovery about 10:30 p.m. Friday, police said.
The search continued until about
3 a.m., according to a news release from the district.
"First responders with close ties to the community struggled with the thought of having to end the search last night due to lighting and weather conditions," Wauconda Fire Chief David Geary wrote in the release. "Responders reconvened first thing [Saturday] morning."
The sonar team found the boy's body about noon Saturday near the deepest part of the lake, which is about 30 feet deep, officials said. The water is about
45 degrees, and the surviving child is being treated for hypothermia, officials said.
Bangs Lake was closed while the effort was underway.
Crews from Lake Zurich, Barrington, Long Grove, Round Lake, Fox Lake, Countryside, Grayslake, McHenry Township, Crystal Lake, Buffalo Grove, Lake Forest, Libertyville, Mundelein, Cary, Nunda Rural, Gurnee, Newport, Huntley, Fox River Grove, Richmond and Wonder Lake assisted during the incident.

Audio Books and MP3 Files- A Tale In First-World Problems
So my better half is a huge fan of the Harry Potter series. As such she likes to listen to the audio books while she does crafts/chores/all the time. But not just any version of the audio books. The US versions are read by Jim Dale (who is I am sure a very fine human being), and as such vastly inferior to the UK versions which are read by Mr. Stephen Fry.
So "we" bough the UK versions on CD; which are outrageously expensive by the way.
Here is the problem- the discs are not simply organized by full chapter files, and instead each track is roughly 90 seconds. This is an issue when one wants to digitize these files for use on our modern portable audio players. Mrs. Adabofoppo has been using iTunes to rip these files, but their data for them is garbage, even to the point that they have certain tracks listed in the wrong chapter for some books.
Ideally, each chapter would be its own data file -not a collection of smaller tracks. So what software should I be looking for so that she can combine all the smaller tracks into one larger one without sacrificing audio quality?

|Texas A&M
LINCOLN — Nebraska's defense tuned up for a showdown Saturday by tearing apart Texas A&M.
The Huskers left the 18th-and 21st-ranked Aggies bruised, bewildered and blanked in posting a 37-0 victory before the 232nd consecutive sellout crowd of 77,705 at Memorial Stadium. Nebraska held Texas A&M to 118 yards, including just 2 yards rushing, forced five turnovers and registered eight quarterback sacks in handing the Aggies their first shutout loss in 142 games dating back to 1988.
"This is as good a defensive performance as we've had since I've been here," Husker senior rover back Mike Brown said. "Today, we came out and dominated. And a game like this gets the momentum going again.
"We've struggled the last two weeks. This game gives us something to build on. If we build on this momentum, we can be pretty good next Saturday."
That's when sixth-ranked Kansas State invades for a game that could decide the North Division's representative in the Big 12 Conference championship game. Saturday's win, the Huskers' second straight since an Oct. 23 loss to Texas, improved No. 9 Nebraska to 8-1 overall and 5-1 in the league, one game behind the unbeaten Wildcats.
Nebraska ended Texas A&M's chances of defending its Big 12 championship by dropping the Aggies to 6-3 overall and 3-3 in the league. Nebraska also avenged last season's 28-21 loss to the Aggies by recording its first shutout against a ranked opponent since a 31-0 win over West Virginia in the 1994 Kickoff Classic.
"Without question, our defense controlled today's game," Nebraska Coach Frank Solich said. "We stood the test for four quarters and just played dominating football throughout."
The same can't be said for the Huskers' offense, which had to settle for a pair of first-half field goals from Josh Brown before kicking into gear in the final 30 minutes. Nebraska scored on five of its first six possessions in the second half, piling up 288 of its 430 yards in the third and fourth quarters.
Quarterback Eric Crouch and I-back Dan Alexander led the second-half charge against the Aggies, who came into the game ranked 10th nationally in rushing defense (89.8 yards) and 12th overall (295 yards). Crouch gained 123 of his career-high 137 yards rushing in the second half, while Alexander had 108 of his 135 yards in the final two quarters.
The Huskers had 274 of their 335 rushing yards in the second half when they concentrated on running right at the Texas A&M defense.
Nebraska had utilized a variety of spread and one-back formations in the first half, but went back to its more traditional I-formation attack in the final two quarters.
"With all the different looks we were giving them, they had to try to adjust," Husker offensive guard Russ Hochstein said. "Then I think we caught them on their heels a little bit in the second half when we came right at them. For us, it just shows a willingness to get it done."
The Huskers got a third field goal from Brown on their opening possession of the second half, then followed it up with touchdowns by Alexander, Crouch, Correll Buckhalter and Dahrran Diedrick. As it turned out, Nebraska's defense made all those points needless by refusing to allow Texas A&M within 11 yards of the Huskers' goal line.
And the Aggies only got that close because Nebraska's offense put them there when wingback Bobby Newcombe fumbled on the first play of the game. Texas A&M linebacker Harold Robertson recovered at the Nebraska 11-yard line, but the Aggies could get no closer.
Texas A&M quarterback Randy McCown lost 6 yards when he fumbled on the first-down play. After a five-yard run, McCown threw the first of his 19 incompletions — he finished 11 of 30 for 116 yards — to bring Terence Kitchens in to attempt a 28-yard field goal.
Kitchens had his kicked slapped back in his face by Nebraska rush end Kyle Vanden Bosch.
"That was huge, and it was probably the turning point right there," Mike Brown said. "We gave them the ball in our backyard, and they weren't able to score. That was the biggest play of the game."
Vanden Bosch, playing at full-speed for the first time in more than a month, turned in another big one in the second quarter after Texas A&M's most productive possession of the first half got the Aggies to the Nebraska 14-yard line. When the drive stalled, Kitchens attempted a 31-yard field but drilled Vanden Bosch in the head with this one.
"The trajectory of the ball was too low," Texas A&M Coach R.C. Slocum said. "We worked hard on it this week in practice with our kickers. I thought we had it worked out, but we didn't."
Texas A&M managed to end just one of its last 11 possessions in Nebraska territory. Turnovers ended four of those possessions, including a fumble by Ja'Mar Toombs and a McCown interception that set up Nebraska's six first-half points.
Josh Brown converted the Toombs' fumble at the 12-yard line into three points when he drilled a 20-yard kick with 5:29 left in the first half. Mike Brown set up Josh Brown's second field goal when he intercepted his second pass of the first half and returned it 20 yards to the Texas A&M 18-yard line. Three plays later, Josh Brown connected from 31 yards for a 6-0 lead with 46 seconds left in the first half.
In addition to the two interceptions, Mike Brown led Nebraska with nine tackles and forced two fumbles. Two of his tackles produced losses, including one 10-yard sack of McCown.
"Mike Brown was unbelievable," said Charlie McBride, Nebraska's defensive coordinator. "He looked like a heat-seeking missile out there."
But Brown got plenty of support, as Keyuo Craver and Ralph Brown also intercepted passes. Defensive tackle Steve Warren had three of Nebraska's eight sacks, while rush end Aaron Wills and linebacker Carlos Polk each recorded eight tackles and linebacker Eric Johnson seven.
Overall, Nebraska held the Aggies to an average of 1.7 yards per play. Thirty-five of Texas A&M's offensive plays produced no gain or negative yardage.
"We played horrible offense," Slocum said. "We were very inept. We couldn't run the ball. When we tried to pass the ball, we couldn't protect long enough to get the ball off. I have a lot of respect for their defense. At the same time, we should be able to perform better than that."
Nebraska's first-half offensive performance hardly had the Huskers rejoicing. Nebraska, which struggled in the first 30 minutes of last Saturday's 24-17 win at Kansas, hurt itself with a pair of fumbles, and its most productive offensive series of the first two quarters ended with Josh Brown clanging a field-goal attempt off the left upright.
"We didn't capitalize on things in the first half," said Crouch, who completed 9 of 20 passes for 95 yards. "At halftime, we said that's one thing we had to be sure to do, capitalize in the red zone. We had to make sure that we punched it into the end zone when we got the chance.
"I think we wore them down in the second half. We had some long drives in the first half but we couldn't finish them off. In the second half, we stepped it up another notch and played a little harder."
Josh Brown ended Nebraska's first possession of the second half with a 36-yard field goal, making it 9-0 with 8:06 left in the third quarter. The Huskers then covered 45 yards in three plays on their next possession, getting their first touchdown on Alexander's 6-yard scoring run.
Alexander's fumble through the end zone at the end of a 19-yard run kept the Huskers from scoring the next time they had the ball.
But McCown gave it right back, as Ralph Brown intercepted at the Aggies' 33-yard line and returned it to the Texas A&M 2. Crouch scored on the next play, and the Huskers added fourth-quarter touchdowns on runs of 2 yards by Buckhalter and 3 yards by Diedrick.
"Offensively, we did some good things," Solich said. "But we have been our own worst enemy throughout the season. I think we were again today in the first half with the turnovers.
"When we've been stopped, we've contributed to being stopped with turnovers and penalties. But I think the effort on both sides of the ball was tremendous today. I have to give our players credit for that effort."
The Huskers will try to sustain that effort through this week in preparing for Kansas State's visit.
"Right now, we have a sense of urgency," McBride said. "Our backs are against the wall, but I think that's helped some because we only have one thing to do and that's to finish this off right.
"But I'm really proud of them and the way they've conducted themselves since the Texas game. You hate to say it but sometimes tough lessons are good lessons. I think they're hungry."

|On the Expression of Diminutivity in Susu
The notion of diminutivity is mentioned only in passing in the major contemporary works devoted to describing Susu (e.g., Houis, 1963; Touré, 1994, 2004). It has yet to be given the careful attention that this topic has received in other Mande languages (e.g., Nikitina in press), though some uses of the word díí 'child,' from which the Susu diminutive is derived, are explored in work by Diané & Vydrine (2012) on the language's kinship system. This paper has the modest goal of adding to what is currently known about Susu diminutivity by reporting on and considering the use of several morphemes, both affixal and free, that figure into the expression of diminutivity in the language. Key to our discussion will be the behavior of Susu's suffixal diminutive marker -dí, which is cognate to similar morphemes found in other Mande languages; we also discuss additional ways in which diminutivity is encoded in the language. Lastly, we consider similarities and differences between the encoding of diminutivity in Susu and certain other Mande languages.

FA boss hails St Catherine Manning Cup teams
Several teams from St Catherine have made bright starts to the 2016 ISSA/FLOW Manning Cup, catching the eye of St Catherine Football Association president Peter Reid. Jonathan Grant, St Catherine High and St Jago High have all won their first two games, and Reid is encouraging them to keep going. He expressed the hope that the St Catherine teams would stay in contention. "I'd say it's early days," he cautioned, "but put your head in front and people will have to catch you." So far in the Manning Cup Group G, St Jago have beaten Calabar and Campion College. Meanwhile, Jonathan Grant High and St Catherine High have each won twice in Group D. He also noted that several of the players on these teams have emerged from age group competition staged by the association. "Congratulations to the management and staff of the St Catherine teams," he said while watching a Manning Cup game this week at the Prison Oval in Spanish Town, "but we have been doing our part in that." "We have our Under-15, our Under-17," he related, "and the boys would matriculate into the Manning Cup." Speaking about the St Jago team that edged Calabar 1-0 in the match he was watching, he said: "I see about six boys who came through a programme and that would spread all throughout the different schools."

WAFL finals the goal for West Coast Eagles reserves
West Coast have targeted a finals berth for their reserves team's debut in next year's WAFL competition, even before completing the signing of top-up players.
Eagles football operations manager Craig Vozzo said while the recruiting rules placed on the club were "very restrictive", they believed the development of players and winning went hand in hand.
"We want to be a really competitive team and we're going to be aiming to qualify for finals," Vozzo said.
"So that's our objective to give our players the best environment to develop.
"Winning is a really important part of development and that's going to be an objective of ours as part of the development process working within the WAFL system."
It was also important the reserves made the finals so fringe players had somewhere to play should the AFL team be playing in September.
De-listed Fremantle forward Brady Grey, 23, is West Coast's latest top-up signing, joining Matthew Ah Siu, Daniel Acres, Joel Ashman, Andrew Fisher, Joel Kalajzic, Liam Robilliard and Luke Salomone.
Grey said Eagles list manager Brady Rawlings convinced him that joining West Coast's reserves team offered him a path back to the senior level.
"I feel this is my best opportunity to get back into the AFL system, but also to grow my leadership and ... be a part of something special," Grey said.
"At the end of the day it's a business and Freo decided my time there was done.
"West Coast came to me with an offer and a really good opportunity both on field and helping grow off-field with my leadership. It was almost too good to pass up."
Both the Eagles' teams will play on Good Friday next season. The West Coast reserves will take on Subiaco at Leederville Oval at 3.10pm, before the senior team hosts Port Adelaide at Optus Stadium at 6.10pm.
The West Coast reserves team will wear the club's mainly gold clash guernsey every week.

Discussants noted that measures are missing in several key areas:
- ED care: According to discussants, it is critically important to have a robust set of ED measures not only because of the significant role the ED plays in clinical care ("Everything is seen in the ED, one way or another"), but also because the ED is a clearly identifiable part of the hospital outpatient setting ("Everyone can actually agree that the ED is part of the hospital outpatient setting, whereas other areas are more murky and/or variable"). In the context of the ED, there are two main circumstances for which there are a need for measures: (1) the management of patients with a definitive diagnosis, and (2) the management of patients who present with certain signs and symptoms, but for whom a definitive diagnosis has not yet been established. Regarding the former, the small set of ED-specific measures developed by the OFMQ is a good start, according to discussants. Additionally, measures developed for the non-ED, ambulatory setting may be applicable, given use of the ED for routine care by some patients. Regarding the management of patients in the absence of a definitive diagnosis, however, more measures are needed. Additionally, some discussants noted a particular need for ED-specific mental health measures, given that a substantial number of patients may come to the ED for a physical ailment, but may also have mental health issues requiring evaluation and treatment.
- Cancer: Discussants noted that there are many measures evaluating breast and colorectal cancer care, but significantly fewer, if any at all, for other important cancer diagnoses, such as lung cancer.
- Specialty care: Discussants said that few measures are available that address conditions requiring specialty care.
- Follow-up care: Discussants pointed out a need for measures that track the provision of follow-up care. However, they noted that the science is not robust in many areas related to such care (e.g., appropriate follow-up care after procedures, ED visits, and hospitalizations).
- Coordination-of-care/transitions-in-care: According to discussants, measures are lacking that bridge transitions from inpatient to outpatient settings and also among different outpatient settings (e.g., ED to ambulatory care).
- Transmission of imaging results: Discussants commented that, for the hospital outpatient setting in particular, facilities in which radiological imaging is conducted should be held responsible for reporting imaging results to the appropriate providers to ensure timely and well-informed care. Measures are needed that track this transmission.
- Outcomes: Many discussants highlighted interest in tracking outcomes in the hospital outpatient setting, but recognized the challenge created by the fact that multiple factors influence outcomes.
- Episodes of care: Discussants said that measures are lacking to track entire episodes of care, regardless of setting, rather than "pieces of care" that are delivered in different settings.
- Efficiency: Discussants noted that there is significant and growing interest in efficiency measures across the health care system. However, to date, there are still not many measures that have been developed, tested, and validated. Discussants pointed out that both the NQF and the AQA have assembled workgroups to address this gap.
- Patient-centered care: Discussants underscored the importance of patient-centered care and pointed to the CAHPS Hospital, and Clinician & Group Surveys, developed with support from AHRQ, as an excellent source of measures. However, these CAHPS measures are not sufficient, according to those to whom we spoke. In particular, discussants said there should also be measures to assess the reporting of test results conducted in the hospital outpatient setting to patients. Additionally, there is a need for measures related to providing understandable explanations to patients, per at least one discussant who emphasized that institutions should be held responsible for engaging patients "on their level" when providing instructions/education about care and medication use.
- Patient safety: Discussants noted that existing patient safety measures are being applied primarily in the inpatient hospital setting and they were not aware of safety measures specific to the hospital outpatient setting. However, a number of the existing patient safety measures such as hand washing, medication safety, and a culture of safety are applicable to the care delivered in the hospital outpatient setting and could be adapted for use in this setting.
- Timeliness: The ED measures developed by the OFMQ address the timing of AMI care in the ED setting, but discussants said more measures are needed that address other diagnoses and other hospital outpatient settings.
Finally, across a variety of types and topics of measures, discussants pointed out the lack of distinction in existing measures between providers ordering a procedure/service, and those delivering care. They said that more attention should be paid to this distinction during the development of measures so that the most appropriate providers are evaluated and held accountable.

Kathleen Parker, Progressives' shaming of Trump supporters won't work
There are three related questions on the table. Toward the end of the episode last Friday, David Brooks asked a good question, which I'll paraphrase: Given that democracy requires civility and a working hypothesis that even your political enemies are mostly motivated by good intent, how do we "do democracy" between now and the 2020 election, given that the President is a depraved individual, and vast numbers of his supporters continue to enable his depravity?
Kathleen Parker, by contrast, poses what seems to me an inane question. She assumes that progressives are going about deliberately "shaming" Trump supporters, asks whether that tactic is likely to work, and declares that it will not.
Well, here's the question I want to ask: Are we to refrain from pointing out that Trump is a deranged, narcissistic simpleton, bent on using white supremacy to win reelection, because telling the truth about who Trump implies that we think poorly of those who support Trump, which will make them feel defensive, which will in turn encourage them to go out and vote for him again in 2020?
In short, to keep Trump supporters from being riled up, should we pretend that Trump is someone other than who he is?
I will answer my own question. No. We should not pull our punches about Trump because telling the truth about Trump will make his supporters angry.
Nor, I believe, is it advisable to place special emphasis on what we think of Trump's supporters as fine specimens of the human race. On that latter topic, I would advise we keep our bottom line views largely to ourselves.
If pressed by a Trump supporter on the matter, here is how I would respond.
First, it's not up to me to make a final judgment on who is a good person and who is a bad person.
Two, it's also not very useful to have a semantic debate about who is and isn't a "racist," because that word is used in many different ways.
All that said, three, your continued support of Trump is evidence that that your values are very different from my values.
And, four, in my opinion, your continued support of Trump indicates poor judgment on your part. Trump is such a doofus that he gives white supremacy a bad name. Wouldn't your own goals—much as I object to them—be better advanced by a leader who is not a narcissistic jerk?
Now, Trump and politics aside, the world is full of people whose values are different from mine. And the world is full of people who exhibit bad judgment.
And, as a lawyer I say, thank God that the world is absolutely chock full of folks with poor judgment.

Botswana operates under the economic system which can best be described as 'Every man for himself…' If you are stinking rich at this point in time or just fairly rich and barring any unforeseen situations, chances are that you will pretty much remain the same regardless of who wins this election. And if you are poor and in deep abject poverty, you will pretty much remain in this situation. Political parties are busy telling voters how desperately they require their votes in order to change their lives for the better. One such party is promising a living wage of P 3000 while the other is talking knowledge based economy whose flagship is building an electric car. But none of them is telling the voters whether or not they will change the model of the current economic system that could substantially close the huge socio-economic inequalities that exist between the rich and the poor. Whether you call it the capitalist or the free market economy, the end result is that the Botswana model like it obtains elsewhere, has created huge gaps of inequality everyone sees and which I am afraid, will be with us until Jesus comes.
Governments have, elsewhere, come and gone but the socio-economic inequalities still remain as clear as day light is. I have argued before which I still do that no politician in this day and age of institutionalised grand corruption will better your socio-economic circumstances. And this is because politics has incredibly become a highway to materialism and opulence which politicians are rarely prepared to genuinely share. If they ever attempt to share, such will be out of sheer pressure to curry favours from the gullible voters. I must re-emphasise that the system of economics versus politics under which Botswana operates is the foundation that has bred the 'Every man for himself…' syndrome. And because past, present and possibly future politicians have somewhat been inspired by this syndrome which they (future politicians) would predictably want to benefit from as well, our socio-economic inequalities have all but permanently been relegated to the back banner. Nothing suggests there will be a turn-around anytime soon. The ground is heavily polluted and toxic.
It should be stated that the socio-economic inequalities that exist in this country have in some instances been created through legitimate means coupled with hard work while others are through sheer greed and thievery occasioned by power relations in society. The latter is partly why the country is in this morass. Inequality through thievery is the sad reality found in the many and every facets of every compatriot's daily struggle. The quality of education dispensed in public schools let alone the conditions and infrastructure under which it is so dispensed is jaw dropping to say the least; the quality and conditions of public health care makes one shed a tear. But when one looks at the same educational and healthcare provisions on the other side of the spectrum, they are top class in every respect imaginable. I am aware that this is an old song that comes decades ago which is not denied by anybody. But nobody has, apart from the usual rhetoric that it will be addressed, actually taken a bold and perhaps an unpopular decision to do so.
The socio-economic situations of many Batswana are supposed to be tackled to the bare minimum if I dare say so, by many of the would-be legislators who are at this point in time clamouring for our votes. These individuals would for one reason or the other, have graduated from the same socio-economic situations currently afflicting the greater population of this country. Most of them will tell you, and correctly so in some instances, that they know the agony and torture of accessing medical services from the Deborah Retief Memorial (DRM) hospital; the agony and torture of having accessed education from the Capital Continuation Classes (CCC) of the yester years. The analogue generation better remembers the era of CCC. With these experiences, one would expect that these graduates would be better placed to ensure that their fellow compatriots, now and in the future, do not experience the same agony and torture in accessing medical services from the very same DRM and the same CCC. But because they no longer go through the same agony and torture themselves, the same is left for you to sort out if you are so lucky to do so. That is, it is up to you from your desperate corner to see how you can retrieve yourself from those desperate situations. The economic system in place and that which is equivalent to 'Every man for himself….' enables your current socio-economic circumstances to deteriorate further down the line because the graduates of agony and torture are no longer with you.
Almost every individual currently campaigning for political office and those who came and went, tell us that they are our servants and we are their bosses. It would suggest that our socio-economic needs as bosses, would be genuinely uppermost in the to-do-lists once in position. But lo and behold! The situation on the ground fundamentally and profoundly suggests otherwise. The DRM and CCC situations are not for a minute improving but getting worse day in and day out. The quality of most of those aspiring to be MPs and Councillors across political parties as exposed by the current radio debates is depressing to say the least. One can tell from their debates that they are at best and with respect, Village Development Committee material than any material that could advance our socio-economic issues at the highest level. It is an undisputed fact that over the years, political office bearers across the political divide have significantly and firstly improved their own socio-economic circumstances. The desire to deal with our own circumstances is always further down the line if at all. This is the sad reality we should, much as it may be hard and unpleasant, come to terms with. The system has allowed it.
Just the other day, the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime through its Director General told the nation that about P 5 billion of public funds have gone missing. For these funds to disappear, some public/private employees highly and likely with the concurrence of politicians would have set processes and procedures in motion to move them wherever they are. A lot of school boy excuses by those entrusted with the security of these funds I am afraid, are nothing but a face saving exercise. As it is, other public funds are required to retrieve the 'stolen or missing' public funds. In this era of technology, it should be easy to trace these funds. Admittedly, public funds thieves have become technology savvy hence the difficulty of tracing these funds. But which thief would make it easy to be caught? That said, imagine how much of a difference P 5 billion would have made to the betterment of DRM and other public institutions like schools and the accompanying infrastructure to ease your socio-economic predicament.
Because political parties, by and large, throw the aspirations in their manifestos out of the window once in power and pursue their self-centred agendas particularly to do with corruption as African political parties in government have become to be known and which distract attention to compatriots' bread and butter issues, one would have thought civil societies in their composite were better placed to put pressure on governments of the day to vigorously attend to the poor man's socio-economic issues. That is, to ensure that poor and the down trodden receive social justice. Do we even have civil societies to write home about one could justifiably ask? But civil societies are themselves caught in the 'Every man for himself' syndrome. For example, trade unions leaders whose trade unions command healthy bank balances lead opulent lifestyles equivalent to, if not surpassing, that of politicians and corporate executives. Some of them are perceived to be the proxies of politicians in one respect or the other. Consequently, they provide a steel buffer around them (politicians) from being pressurised to remember the poor souls. Again this scenario obtains because economic power relations allow it and unless it is changed, ordinary members of wealthy trade unions will continue to feed on crumbs of discounted mobile phones while their conditions of service remain deplorable.
What am I saying? I am saying that with ever growing levels of inequalities, P 3000 and the electric motor car will do very little if any, to close the current inequality gap further exacerbating the socio-economic situation in this country. And this can be achieved to some extent by fighting the 'Every man for himself…' syndrome. But the brutal truth is that those empowered to change the status quo (politicians) religiously benefit from it. If the next government, whether it is by retaining the ruling party or a new party taking over, and the syndrome is not changed, your socio-economic circumstances will move from bad to worse. That said, let us go to vote on 23 October as a matter of routine than as an exercise that could better our socio-economic circumstances. After the vote, those elected will take an oath of office only as a matter of routine because thereafter, such oath becomes meaningless and inconsequential because their conduct and actions are not commensurate with the value and sanctity of such oath of office. The present harrowing socio-economic circumstances afflicting this country is prove of the political oath of office having become meaningless and inconsequential. I am prepared to be persuaded otherwise. Judge for Yourself!

After your braces come off, what next? You'll need to wear a dental retainer if you want to your teeth to stay in their new position.
There are two main types of teeth retainer your dentist might recommend: a fixed retainer (also known as a bonded or permanent retainer) or one that can be removed such as an Essix or Hawley retainer. There are also special retainer braces which can be used for teeth straightening.
In this article we will guide you through all these options and explain how much retainers cost, both on the NHS and privately.
We'll also show you how to clean your retaining device to make it last as long as possible.
Table of contents

What's a retainer?
A dental retainer is a device that fits over or behind your teeth to keep them in position. These appliances are most often used after treatment with braces to maintain the changes made to your teeth once braces have been removed.
Retaining devices can be made from clear plastic, metal wire, or a combination of the two. The different types of retainer function in slightly different ways, but they have the same purpose.
How do retainers work and why do you have to wear one after braces?
Let's be honest, wearing braces isn't something you do for fun. You've worked hard and probably endured some discomfort to get a smile you're happier with, and the last thing you want is for your teeth to start moving out of position again. That's where your teeth retainer comes in.
After your braces have been removed, your teeth will naturally start moving back to their original position. It's also common for our teeth to shift as we get older and when wisdom teeth come through. Wearing a retainer after braces helps to hold your teeth in the correct alignment.
Both removable and fixed retainers will keep your teeth straight for years to come, as long as you keep wearing them as your dentist advises!
You can get a retaining device for the upper or lower teeth only, or for both – usually corresponding to where your braces were placed.
Braces vs retainers: what's the difference?
Braces are designed to move misaligned teeth into a better position to improve dental health. They can be fixed onto your teeth with brackets, or you can use removable aligner braces like Invisalign. Treatment with braces can last anywhere between 6 months and 3 years, depending on the amount of movement required.
Retaining devices are worn after braces and are usually intended to keep your teeth straight rather than move them. There are many different types of retainer: fixed or removable, plastic or metal, but they all have the same goal: to stop your teeth becoming crooked again.
Can you use a retainer for teeth straightening?
Some mouth retainers can straighten crooked teeth if only mild correction is needed, for example if you have previously worn braces and your teeth have started moving again. Your dentist or orthodontist will be able to advise you of the best treatment for you.
Spring aligner retainers can help with simple movements of the teeth. They look similar to a normal Hawley device, but they have extra parts that move one or more teeth slightly or help to prevent the teeth from overcrowding or twisting.
Our guide to teeth straightening has more details of the options for getting straighter teeth with and without braces.
If you want to straighten your teeth without fixed metal braces, invisible braces could be a good solution. These systems use clear, removable aligners, which look the same as clear plastic retainers and are almost invisible when worn. Unlike retaining devices though, clear aligner braces are carefully designed to put pressure on certain teeth to move them into the desired position.
If you only need mild or moderate teeth straightening, you might be eligible for "mail-order" aligners from Straight My Teeth. These cost just £999 and can straighten teeth in around 9 months. You don't visit a dentist's office; instead everything is done from home and a dentist monitors your progress remotely. Read more about Straight My Teeth here or visit their website to take a free assessment and find out if you're eligible for this treatment.
What else are removable retainers used for?
There are other things, aside from maintaining straight teeth, that a dentist might recommend a dental retainer for. These include:
- Stopping tongue thrusting
- Helping a child to stop sucking their thumb
- Preventing damage from bruxism (teeth grinding)
Types of retainers
As we've mentioned, there are a few different types of retaining devices available. We'll give you some information about their plus points and downsides and show you what each retainer looks like, but you should listen to your dentist's advice about what's best for your teeth.
Hawley Retainer
Hawley retainers, also called wire or metal retainers, can be used on both your upper and lower teeth. They are fully removable and you should take them out for eating and drinking sugary drinks. The plate (the part that touches your gums and palette) is made from acrylic plastic, and there are wires that sit over and across your teeth. Some dentists might offer to customise the colour of the plate or add a pattern.
This is one of the cheapest retainers available and they can last for many years if cared for properly. One obvious downside of Hawley retainers is that they are very noticeable, especially if used on the upper teeth. Once you transition to only wearing them at night, though, this isn't such an issue.
You may also hear a Hawley device called a 'wrap around retainer', but it's different to some braces treatments that need a head piece. As mentioned earlier, spring aligners can be added to offer minor teeth straightening.
Essix Retainer
If you want a clear retainer that is removable then an Essix type could be suitable. This is formed to completely cover your teeth and sit above your gum line.
Some people prefer this type because they are less noticeable than wire retainers. Essix retainer costs are similar to the Hawley style, but they may not last as long.
You'll need to remove your device for eating and clean it regularly. It might become discoloured over time, but you can prevent this with a proper cleaning routine – more on this later.
Vivera Retainer
This is the clear, plastic retainer from the manufacturers of Invisalign braces (sometimes called an Invisalign retainer). It is made from a super strong material so it's less likely to break than other plastic devices.
To get one fitted, a laser scan is taken of your mouth, so if you don't like the feeling of teeth impressions being taken this could be a great option. You don't have to have had Invisalign braces to be able to get a Vivera retainer.
Fixed Retainer
A completely different option is a fixed bonded retainer. Also called a lingual or permanent retainer, this type is only used on the front six teeth, often just on the lower jaw. A strong wire is glued behind the teeth, permanently retaining the shape you achieved with braces. It might need to be replaced every 3-10 years.
Fixed retainers are a little more expensive than basic removable ones, but the fact that they are completely hidden is a plus for many people.
While there's no chance of losing this type of device, having the wire attached to your teeth does make it difficult to clean and floss properly. Read more about the pros and cons of permanent retainers.
How much do retainers cost?
There are lots of factors that determine the price of a retainer. Which dentist you go to, where the surgery is, and what type you are recommended to use can all affect the cost. Here's a rough guide to how much different retainers cost with a private dentist:
Note that prices are for a single device, except for Vivera Invisalign retainers which come in a set of 3 or 4.
Follow-up treatment or checks may be needed after you have your appliance fitted, so make sure you check whether this is included in the price. There are other factors to consider as well; the cost of a removable retainer may be lower the cost of a permanent one, but how often will you have to replace them?
Can you get retainers on the NHS?
Under 18's are entitled to free dental treatment on the NHS, and this applies to orthodontic treatment and retaining devices, as long as the work is deemed medically necessary. The only thing that isn't covered is the cost to replace a retainer that's lost or broken beyond repair; this is £70.10 per device so £140.20 for a complete set.
Generally speaking, the NHS will not cover treatment for:
- Slightly protruding teeth
- Minor misalignments that don't affect function
- Over- or under-bites where you can still use teeth normally
- Anything that won't cause future health problems
This guide from the British Orthodontic Society explains more about what's covered by the NHS.
Note that you won't get to choose which type of appliance you get on the NHS; your dentist will decide which one is best for your needs. You probably won't get any fun customisation options, either.
Most adults are not eligible for braces and retainers on the NHS, except where there is a clear medical need for the treatment. In this case, a consultation or an appliance adjustment falls under the Band 1 charge of £22.70, while treatment with braces (including the first set of retainers) falls into Band 3, costing £269.30.
What does a replacement retainer cost?
Under-18s who get their treatment on the NHS must still pay to replace retainers that are lost or damaged beyond repair. The NHS has set replacement retainer costs, currently £70.10 per device. This is the only time you'll have to pay for a retaining device if you are under 18 years old.
With a private dentist, often a new retainer costs the same as the original. There might be some saving if you don't need new dental impressions.
Damaged retainers can sometimes be mended. If yours has been damaged or broken, seek advice from your dentist.
It's worth noting, Vivera retainers cost more but come in a set of three or four. This means that if you lose your device, or break it, you can just switch to one of the others rather than having to rush to the dentist.
How long should you wear retainers after braces?
Your teeth will slowly move throughout your life, especially if you had your braces before your wisdom teeth erupted. It's quite common for people to notice their teeth have moved after braces, years after receiving orthodontic treatment. To make sure your teeth stay straight, you should be prepared to wear a retaining device for the rest of your life.
If you have a removable retainer, you'll probably be asked to wear it nearly all the time for the first six months, except while eating of course! After that, you can normally start to wear your device only overnight. Your dentist will instruct you on how long to wear your teeth retainer each day according to your treatment.
By its very nature, a permanent retainer stays in place the whole time. You don't have to remember anything except your normal cleaning routine – a plus if you are worried you might forget to put your device in each day or night.
How to keep your retainer clean
Cleaning your retainer is just as important as cleaning your teeth. Otherwise, food debris can get stuck and encourage plaque and bacteria to build up, increasing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease and creating bad odours. Clear retainers will also become discoloured if you don't clean them properly.
Removable and permanent retainers need different types of care. Your dentist will show you the best way to clean your retainers, and we also have a full page on how to clean retainers with more detail and some natural products to use. For now, here's a quick overview:
Removable retainers
You can follow these simple steps for the best way to clean plastic retainers as well as metal ones:
- Rinse your device with warm water after removal and before putting it back in.
- Clean it twice a day with dish soap, or castile soap, using a soft bristle toothbrush to brush away plaque and bits of food.
- Use a cotton bud to get into any deep grooves.
- Some dentists will recommend you soak your device in a retainer cleaning product like Retainer Brite. Follow your dentist's advice and the instructions on the product packaging.
- To clean clear retainers that have turned yellow, gently scrub using baking soda, water and a soft toothbrush.
- Never use whitening toothpaste on your Hawley or Essix retainer! It can be too rough and abrasive, so stick to soap and water.
The video below shows how this looks in practice for Shabrina, who wears clear retainers. She explains what she does for a daily clean morning and night, as well as for a deep clean several times a week. She says the deep clean is important for getting rid of any smells that inevitably build up:
How to clean fixed retainers
Bonded retainers can't be removed for cleaning, so the process is different. It might take a little getting used to but it will be part of your daily routine in no time.
Dental floss or interdental brushes are vital to maintaining your dental health when you have fixed retainers behind your teeth. If you use floss you will need to use a threader to pass it between your teeth, under the bonded wire. Interdental brushes may make it easier to get to any plaque build-up; have a try and see what works best for you. Of course, you should still brush your teeth as normal too.
There are several types of teeth retainers you can wear after braces, but they all have the same aim: to keep your teeth in position after they have been straightened. It's also possible to get retainer braces which provide mild correction.
Whether you decide to get a fixed retainer or a removable Hawley or Essix retainer, the important thing is you follow your dentist's instructions for using it properly. They will tell you how long to wear your retainer each day and how to clean it properly so it lasts as long as possible.
Remember, if you're looking for a way to straighten your teeth without wearing traditional braces, invisible braces are very effective and hard to notice. Check whether you're a suitable candidate by taking a two-minute assessment from Straight My Teeth right now. Their treatment costs just £999!
Teeth Retainer FAQs
Do retainers hurt?
Retaining devices can hurt sometimes, but usually just for a day or two after fitting. The pain should not be really bad and you can take your usual painkillers to manage this type of pain. If it continues or gets worse you should go to the dentist as soon as possible.
Can I keep my teeth straight without a retainer?
The short answer is, no. It's completely normal for your teeth to move over time and this movement can be unpredictable. To guarantee your time with braces was worth it, you will need to keep wearing your appliance forever.
What's the best retainer after braces?
It is important to wear a plastic or wire retainer after braces, but which retainer is best for you depends on what your dentist advises. There are a few factors to consider, such as cost, how easy they are to keep clean, how noticeable they are, and whether you are prone to losing things!
You may be offered a choice of metal vs clear retainers, and there are good and negative points about each. Weigh up your options, but remember that a removable retainer can easily be changed if you don't like it. Ask your dentist what they recommend for you, and why.
Why do my retainers smell bad?
Your device is exposed to all the food, plaque and bacteria in your mouth so – just like your mouth – it will start to smell if you don't clean it properly. Soak it in a specially designed cleaning product like Retainer Brite every couple of days to keep smells and stains at bay.

Today's look is very "2015 Coachella", with this floral rayon Nénuphar jacket. I'd wanted to post pictures of it for a while, and I thought it could be a good opportunity to bring up the recent discussions around the term "kimono" and share a couple questions about the technical vocabulary that has and/or could be used in its place. Keep reading if that's a topic you're interested in!
Posts matching "jacket"
I've heard that every self-respecting Parisian woman should have in their wardrobe a beige trench coat and a little black dress. Well, it's been a while since I left Paris, and I'm not sure how self-respecting I am, but now I got my basics covered!
After the Myosotis dress, the second pattern from the new Deer&Doe collection I'm showing you today is the kimono-inspired jacket named Nénuphar.
Over the last few weeks, projects made from the new Deer&Doe patterns have started popping up all over the place, and that makes me really happy. On my front I have finally been able to finish and photograph my version of the Lupin jacket, and I'm taking this opportunity to answer a question that has been asked a lot: can you wear it closed?

The Recruiting News
Advanced Human Resource Studies Report:
Why Good Employees Stay
(October 22, 2008) Retention strategies for top talent is an area of ongoing interest for human resource professionals. An earlier issue of hrSpectrum featured a study by Cornell's John Hausknecht and colleagues into why good employees leave their organizations. In this issue, we look at the flip side of his research: why g o od employees stay. The differences are surprising.
Hausknecht's most recent study, published as a working paper this year entitled "Targeted Employee Retention: Performance-Based and Job-Related Differences in Reported Reasons for Staying" and forthcoming in the journal Human Resource Management, used a data set ten times larger than in his earlier work-25,000 employees as opposed to 2,500- and was also conducted in the hospitality industry.
New reasons for staying emerged as more important than before: salary/wages was not as important for upper-level and high-performing employees as it was in the earlier study. Perhaps as a sign of the economic times, pay and benefits remained among the most important reasons for staying only among hourly workers. Flexible hours were also ranked high for this group-again, not surprisingly, given the high non-work demands on workers with limited spending and transportation options, child care responsibilities, and so forth.
For those at higher levels in the organization or performing at a higher level of achievement, opportunities for career advancement were more important than monetary rewards. (By contrast, advancement opportunities were cited least by hourly employees as a reason for staying, perhaps because of a real or perceived lack of such opportunities.) Given the disproportionate increase in executive pay relative to the average hourly worker in the U.S. in recent years, it may be that salary has "topped out" as a variable of importance for retention of upper management.
Most surprising, perhaps, was that for all groups, job satisfaction (enjoyment derived from the nature of the work itself, such as serving customers) ranked first as the reason employees stay. Whether this was unique to the nature of the work in the hospitality industry and the strong service orientation of the people it attracts, or could be extrapolated to other fields, remains an open question.
Another surprise was that lack of alternative employment opportunities was not cited by low achievers as a reason for staying at any greater frequency than it was cited by high achievers.
Employees were sorted into groups according to their rank in the organization (supervisory, managerial, professional, or hourly) and performance rating based on their latest performance review (on a scale of 1 to 5). Twelve retention reasons were identified based on survey responses using the employees' own words that were later analyzed and coded into the categories.
Reasons for staying on the job were most similar for workers of low rank and low achievement. Differences were most discernible between these groups and the higher rank and higher achieving employees. In addition to job satisfaction, organizational prestige (reputation) was cited as a top reason by high rank/performance employees for staying with the firm.
The practical implications from these findings is that retention strategies should target factors identified as highly valued by high achievers, or adopt policies that encourage employees to become high achievers (by showing a clear path for advancement, for example). Communicating positive messages about the reputation of the firm is important not only for recruitment but for retention. Finally, the study demonstrates that external inducements to leave-which have received the most attention in the academic research-will threaten retention only when they are compelling enough to overcome inducements to stay.

For obvious reasons, there will be need for repair of clothes and hopefully also sowing of clothes for the project.
Traditionally the old type of showing-machines will be the choice.
(It is the type used by my grandmother)
However, electric machines are becoming cheaper and better.
For other reasons I think there should be electricity in "The Headquarter".
In this way I will argue for resonably cheap electric machines.
From my bitter experience
Do not buy the cheapest sowing-thread and the cheapest material.
In my opinion the use of showing-machine and the skills provided, will give a possibility for involved children the possibility for a future profession with income.
Mini Brigade
It should be possible to expand a little and make some income for the proposed project.
If successfully buying a more sophisticated machine.

Kōloa Kaua'i Dark Rum
Dark Rum
Kōloa // Hawaii, USA
Kōloa's dark rum offering is unaged and "enhanced" with additional caramelized sugars. Their rum, produced on the island of Kaua'i, is distilled in a copper pot still from crystallized sugar.
Dark RumAKA Black Rum. Usually aged (but not always) and has additional caramel-coloring added to provide the dark/black color. Some are distilled from blackstrap molasses. No specific type or size barrel required for aging nor is there a set time required for aging in most countries with a few exceptions.
Cask Type
Tasting Notes
"The aromas of this rum are of deep, concentrated molasses, and coffee. There's a bit of heat too, but it's a welcome contrast to the richness. On the palate, the flavors are overshadowed a bit by the heat but there's a very complex and satisfying rum peeking through. Molasses and espresso give way to secondary flavors of clove and cinnamon. An ice cube tames the heat a bit and reveals more sweet coffee. The finish lingers with mild cinnamon. This would make a fine Dark 'n' Stormy."

Sunday 16th July
Sunday, lazy Sunday. Another very warm day. Up early this morning and out on to the marsh by 7:30am and already it was very warm. The Swans and the Mallards were snoozing. A Coot was building a nest? The Swifts and Swallows as well as the Housemartins were flying high for insects. Very quiet on the 'Fleet', no sign of the dragonfly, but plenty of Blue-Tailed Damselfly. The Wild Privit was a live with bees and butterfly, it certainly is a popular plant when in flower.
Enjoy today's photographs.
