Memorable Manitobans: J. A. Osborne (1861-?)
Editor, publisher.
Born near Bowmanville, Ontario in 1861, he was educated at the Bowmanville Collegiate Institute and came to Winnipeg at the time of the 1881 building boom, joining his uncle David Ede in the real estate business. In 1885, he joined the editorial staff of the Winnipeg Daily Times under Amos Rowe. When the paper merged with the Morning Call, he resigned to become Assistant City Tax Collector, holding the position until 1894 when he became Business Manager and City Editor of the Brandon Daily Sun under W. J. White. During his work with the Winnipeg city government, he contributed to local dailies and magazines, and edited and published the Western Workman, the official publication of the AOUW. He also initiated the Manitoban Magazine, which he edited for two years.
When the Brandon paper was sold, Osborne went to Rat Portage [now Kenora, Ontario] where he operated the Rat Portage News in partnership with E. A. Chapman. He later moved to Fort Frances, Ontario where he bought the Rainy Lake Herald, then published at Rainy Lake City, and moved its plant to Fort Frances to produce the Fort Frances Times. In March 1900, he purchased the Brandon Daily Sun and became its Editor and Manager. He later sold the paper to a consortium led by J. B. Whitehead. He was an early proponent of the Brandon, Saskatchewan and Hudson's Bay Railway.

"Siberia welcomes Sir Alex", according to one back-page headline in Russia on Tuesday morning, as little-known Sibir Novosibirsk unveiled their new Scottish head coach. For bleary-eyed Russians on the metro, returning to work after the 10-day New Year hangover graciously bestowed by the Kremlin, it was certainly a story which caught the eye.
It might not have been the Sir Alex Ferguson; not even the recent 3-0 thrashing at Newcastle United was going to see the Manchester United manager sent off for hard labour in Russia's frozen wastes. But even so, the news that a second tier promotion outsider has snaffled the services of Rafael Benitez's former second-in-command at Liverpool, Alex Miller, represents a surprising coup for a team with just one season of top flight football in a largely undistinguished history.
Miller himself, a long-serving player with Scottish giants Rangers and later a League Cup-winning manager at Hibernian, insists there is nothing special here: he was out of work, a team made him an offer and having previously plied his trade in Hong Kong, Japan and Sweden, moving to Novosibirsk is little more than another stamp in the passport.
But even if Russian football is more receptive to foreigners than at any time in the past, Sibir is far from a club expected to be attracting internationally-recognised coaches – and especially not ones who helped to mastermind a victory as memorable as Liverpool's Miracle in Istanbul back in 2005.
Sibir are not a rich man's plaything, in the style of Anzhi Makhachkala. Nor is the club a statement of corporate intent, such as Gazprom-backed Zenit St. Petersburg. And while Miller has reportedly told Scottish journalists how impressed he was with the indoor training facilities on offer, nobody would mistake the ageing Spartak Stadium in the centre of Siberia's biggest city as a top-class footballing venue. And that pre-supposes they have seen it without a curtain of icicles and a dense carpet of snow.
Then there is the sporting culture of the city, where a population of 1.5 million or so tends to offer fairly limited support to an admittedly mediocre hockey franchise and a cup-winning volleyball side. Partly this is down to the Russian fan culture which, far from the season-ticket-touting 'never miss a game' brigade commonplace in the top European leagues, tends to be more inclined to pick and choose matches. Partly too, it is down to simple practicalities, with kick-off times moving at short notice and – outside the top flight – games scheduled at unpredictable intervals. The weekly round of league matches has not quite reached the lower leagues yet.
Not that Miller himself seems daunted as he announced that he believed Sibir could win promotion in the upcoming half-season which starts in March and sees the top eight of the second-tier Professional Football League play a further 14-match round robin to settle two automatic promotion spots and a further two play-off places. And he shrugged off worries about the weather – temperatures were -17 during his brief visit, but as he pointed out, Scotland gets pretty nippy as well. Even the language was not expected to be a barrier – the coaching staff he inherits apparently speaks good English, if not fluent Glaswegian just yet.
As for the former Liverpool coach's new home, and his new charges, Miller admits he is hardly an expert. Stumbling over the name of the opposition in the one game he had seen in full on DVD (the other team were fellow promotion hopefuls Ural Yekaterinburg) and admitting he had only spent a few hours in Novosibirsk so far, made it almost impossible to give a sensible assessment of how life might be.
One major challenge will be the remoteness of life in a city which is roughly as far from Moscow as London is – but in the opposite direction. Long trips are part and parcel of life in Russia, and for all Novosibirsk bills itself as the country's third city, it can feel surprisingly quiet on a Saturday night. For a man steeped in the passionate football and social cultures of Clyde and Mersey, the calmer waters of the Ob might be the most difficult thing to navigate.
Yet Miller is hardly the first seemingly unlikely arrival in Russia, and the track record of other foreign managers does not inspire great confidence. While Zenit have enjoyed success under Dick Advocaat and Luciano Spalletti, most international recruits have struggled to bring success. Zico won the Russian Cup with CSKA Moscow but failed to survive a full season before being replaced by Juande Ramos. The Spaniard also moved on in a matter of months, with mutterings about changes in club policy and an emphasis on developing young Russian talent. At Spartak Moscow, Michael Laudrup found it impossible to translate his Spanish successes into Muscovite medals. Meanwhile in Chechnya, the least said about Ruud Gullit's brief spell at Terek Grozny, the better.
With Miller, perhaps uniquely, starting out in the second tier, his challenges will be very different from the high pressure, high profile roles which proved too much for the bosses above. But it all adds up to an intriguing experiment in a far-flung corner of European football.
Sibir Novosibirsk – fact file
Formed in 1936 as Burevestnik (Petrel), the club has also taken the name of Lenin's secret police chief Feliks Dzerzhinsky and pioneering pilot Valery Chkalov. Their current name, Sibir, means Siberia and dates from 2006.
On the pitch success has been limited: promotion to the top flight for the 2010 season was followed by instant relegation as a young side was scuppered by a leaky defence despite playing some enterprising attacking football.
The 2010 season also saw Sibir play in Europe after finishing runners-up to Zenit in the Russian Cup. A qualifying win over Apollon Limassol earned a playoff tie against PSV Eindhoven, but a sensational 1-0 win in Siberia in the first leg counted for little after a 6-0 thrashing in Holland.
Of the current squad, Alexei Medvedev is perhaps the best known player. The experienced striker has had spells with Dynamo Moscow and spent last season at Rubin Kazan, but is back at the club where he has become something of a legend after firing them to that promotion in 2009 and leading the scoring charts during their Premier League campaign.

RC44 Tour continues in Sweden
Published on July 27th, 2015
Gothenburg, Sweden (July 27, 2015) – Racing resumes on the 2015 RC44 Championship Tour with the third stop on the five-event season starting tomorrow on the picturesque holiday hotspot island of Marstrand on Sweden's west coast.
Attracted to Scandinavia by Torbjorn Tornqvist's Artemis Racing, that fields two boats on the RC44 Championship Tour, this will be the fifth consecutive year that the RC44 Marstrand Cup has been held here. Once again hosted by the Royal Gothenburg Yacht Club (GKSS) and with the support of Stena, the event begins tomorrow with a day of match racing preceding four days of fleet racing.
This year Artemis Racing is not the only Swedish element of the competition. Standing in for Chris Bake on Team Aqua for the second time this season is Richard Goransson, best known in recent years for his 'Inga from Sweden' campaigns on the Melges 20 and 32 circuits.
"I like the one design concept, especially at this level," says Goransson. "I know most of the people here from the other classes that I sail in. Racing the Melges 32 and the RC44 are the hardest things I've ever done in my life, but I enjoy it immensely. It is so cool to be able to race with all these incredible sailors."
But surprisingly his local knowledge won't help Team Aqua as this will be the first occasion Goransson has raced here. "It's not that I have anything against Marstrand – it's just never happened," he admits. "I've got lots of friends here, so it seems like it is going to be a very social week for me. I'm hoping to get my nine year old son on the boat today for a ride with us."
Having helmed Team Aqua in Malta at the start of the season, Goransson takes the wheel back at a key time for Team Aqua. After the last regatta in Porto Cervo in June, Chris Bake's team regained the fleet racing championship lead and with it the coveted leader's Golden Wheels.
The RC44 Marstrand Cup, coming in the middle of the season, always provides a welcome alternative to the Mediterranean regattas, both culturally and climactically with the short nights and a greater potential for strong winds.
Teams out training yesterday experienced big winds, including Team Nika, which currently lies second in the 2015 RC44 Fleet Racing Championship. As Skipper
Vladimir Prosikhin recounted: "Yesterday was too windy! We broached and stayed on our side for a few minutes, in fact the longest I have experienced."
However Prosikhin is a big fan of Marstrand. "I'm very attached to this kind of nature. I've done a lot of cruising around here before. I like Marstrand, it is very nice."
For the RC44 Marstrand Cup, Prosikhin has a new tactician with American Bill Hardesty, standing in for America's Cup helmsman Dean Barker. Hardesty is a two time World Champion helmsman in the Etchells keelboat and won the Match Racing World Championship as tactician for Ian Williams.
Similarly on board Alexander Novoselov's Katusha, standing in for tactician Andy Horton (on paternity leave this week), will be Luna Rossa's 34th America's Cup helmsman Chris Draper.
As usual, the RC44 Marstrand Cup kicks off with a day of match racing. The match racing championship, which is on-going from event to event, has Bronenosec Sailing Team leading after two regattas. But just one point behind Vladimir Liubomirov's team are Artemis Racing and John Bassadone's Peninsula Petroleum.
Peninsula Petroleum's tactician Vasco Vascotto observed: "For us it is important to show we have improved since Malta. In Porto Cervo we showed our real potential. We know this event will be very tough, but we are ready for a fight."
The charismatic Italian is also a fan of the Swedish RC44 venue: "The passion of the people here is great. It is very nice to come here. Sometimes the weather conditions are a little cold, but it is beautiful and when the sun comes out it is very nice."
The RC44 Marstrand Cup will take place from July 28 to August 1.

Learn the benefits of xylitol gum.
If you thought that all gum chewing was bad, you probably haven't heard the news about xylitol gum and the many oral health benefits. This gum is said to actually prevent tooth decay when it is chewed regularly.
There are several things you can do to help prevent tooth decay. Let's look at a few helpful suggestions:
Reduce Sugar Intake
Many of the foods that can cause dental problems include sugar and include food that sticks to your teeth.
One thing for people to do is not only reduce their sugar intake but also the sugar "exposures" they have during a day. For instance if they drink coke or like to eat candy, they should not sip a coke all day.
Each time they take a sip they are inoculating their teeth. Sugar feeds plaque which is the acid bacteria that causes both decay and periodontal disease.
Same with sugar exposure from candy. Just eat it all at once and brush if possible or at least rinse out the mouth.
Children who eat a lot of raisins, fruit leather, and granola bars as well as drink a lot of juice are often in their dentist's office with dental caries that need to be filled.
Xylitol is a great sugar alternative that does good things for your teeth.
Use Dental Hygiene Products that Promote Healthy Teeth
Beyond the gum, fluoride toothpaste and use of dental floss will help you keep your mouth clean and keep your smile healthy. Anti-plaque rinses are also worth using. An electric toothbrush is also better equipped than a manual brush to help you reach every area of your teeth so consider upgrading.
Consider having your dentist put on a fluoride varnish as well as this can help remineralize your teeth and protect them from decay. You'll even find a chewable tablet called Pro Flora that can neutralize the bad bacteria in your mouth with healthy probiotics.
Chew Xylitol Gum
This special gum is increasing in popularity due to the great news about the dental benefits. In fact, it provides other benefits as well, including helping to control recurring yeast infections and it makes an ideal sugar substitute for many diabetics. Pregnant women who take it are less likely to transmit carie- causing bacteria to their babies. It's used in gum, is available as a sweetener, and present in some commercial mouthwashes.
See Your Dentist Regularly
Your dentist can help you keep your smile healthy and give you great advice on the best recommended dental hygiene products to use to stay orally healthy.
Buy packs of xylitol gum, mouthwash, mints, or mouth spray, and feel good about doing something positive for your dental health but don't forget to visit your dentist regularly as well.

This is the blog for my new research project on Media Archaeology -- and the Cartographical Mapping of some new trends in media studies and history. It supports the research project that investigates media archaeology as media studies method and theory, and maps both its trends and emerging directions. Polity Press have just confirmed that they will offer a contract for the book that is coming out of the project -- book hopefully finished in August 2011. Excited to be doing this for Polity and fingers crossed; submitting an application to the AHRC for an early career fellowship where this book would be the key output.
The project and the book support the work we did already with Erkki Huhtamo -- an edited volume on media archaeology and its new directions. That book is coming out from University of California Press hopefully in 2011, and was an exciting even if a long project. Working with Erkki was wonderful in terms of his huge experience of the field and media history, but also because of our diverging but hopefully complementing ideas of media archaeological research.
The proposed project (and this blog which will be used for updates on progress, ideas, interim results, as well as wider discussions of what is going on in terms of media archaeology and related approaches) addresses how to develop media archaeology as an exemplary "21st century arts and humanities theory and method" that tackles key themes in software cultures, creative practice, digital archives and lends innovatively from feminist theory, critical methodologies and such emerging trends in media theory as new materialist cultural analysis.
Well, the gets into full swing only next year, so this blog will also kick-off more forcefully then. But stay tuned. Its all about dead media, obsolescence, losers of media history and other freaks in media theory!
Wednesday, 14 October 2009
Project start!

Monday - Chicken Pot Pie Soup
This was a quick and easy little soup! Yummy and very chicken pot pie-like! It is also very low in fat. I think there is only about 15 fat grams in the whole pot of soup!
2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast meat
1 (16 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of potato soup
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
2 cups half-and-half or milk (I used fat-free half-and-half)
crackers, crumbled (I used oyster crackers)
In a medium sauce pan combine chicken, mixed vegetables, cream of potato
soup, cream of chicken soup and milk. Heat through and serve with crumbled
crackers on top.
Tempt My Tummy Tuesdays
Tasty Tuesday
Tuesdays at the Table
Crock Pot Wednesdays
I would think you could throw all this soup's ingredients into a crock pot and cook for a few hours on high or on low most of the day.

Open the doors to circulate the air inside
In summer, it's necessary to open both of slide doors keep open when relaxing in HIACE. Though, if you keep the doors open, you want to curtain off the opening to maintain privacy. So I decided to install curtains.
First I tried to find ready to attach curtains, that is specially designed for HIACE, and I could only find curtains that covers windows, but none that is long enough to cover whole slide door.
Then, I was considering to install curtains by myself.
I started DIY curtain project
It's easier to suspend a curtain with hooks attacked onto the ceiling, but I wanted to draw curtains to keep them half open or full open quickly. So I tried to find how I can install a curtain rail for a house to achieve better usability.
How to install curtain rails ?
How about making a hole on each pillar, then attach a curtain rail directly?
It may work, but as far as I checked, curtain rails for houses are attached with φ2.7 mm or φ3.5 mm wood screws. If you attach a curtain rail directly to pillars, you can only use 2 of M2 or M3 screws, and apparently, it's not strong enough.
I guess it's not good looking, but better to attach a curtain rail to a square timber, then attach the timber to the pillars.
Select suitable parts and buy
A) Curtain Rails
I chose the one that was light and flexible in case it falls. It's length is adjustable between 1 m and 2 m.
Square Telescopic Curtain Rail 2m single type (white)
B) Plates to fasten the timber to the hole on the pillars
I purchased stainless plates with a hole of φ6.5 mm to fix it with M6 bolts and nuts.
They can be iron plates, but ones I found was painted black, and I wanted silver ones, so I bought stainless ones.続きを読む

In June 2018 the Local Authority undertook an Independent Pupil Premium Audit of Fairlight Primary and Nursery School. This audit was undertaken by two Headteachers who are National Leaders of Education (NLE's). It outlined areas that the school were successful in their work related to Pupil Premium as well as giving the school clear areas for further exploration and development. These have been incorporated into the schools Pupil Premium Strategy.
The leaders of the school are determined to raise standards and move practice forward. The clear school vision permeates everything they do and enables the holistic approach to disadvantage pupils and school improvement. We can clearly see the use of evidence-based research to improve outcomes for children. PUPIL PREMIUM AUDIT June 2018
The audit also showed the school has continued to work on areas related to Pupil Premium attainment and achievement since our OFSTED Inspection in December 2014.
The school uses the extra funding it receives for disadvantaged pupils well. This ensures that these pupils make good progress from their starting points compared with other pupils in this and in other schools. OFSTED December 2014
The performance of disadvantaged pupils in reading, writing and mathematics in the 2014 national tests indicated that they were less than half a term behind other pupils in the school. The results also showed that disadvantaged pupils were just under two terms behind other pupils nationally. However, the equivalent group's attainment in 2012 had been almost a year behind that of other pupils in the school, and just over two terms behind that of other pupils nationally. This shows the school's success in narrowing significantly the gaps between the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and that of other pupils. OFSTED December 2014
The 2018 Pupil Premium Strategy focuses on improvements for the attainment and achievement of Pupil Premium children whilst also ensuring the school continues to focus on its vision of EVERY INDIVIDUAL CHILD ACHIEVES.

El Cajon needs strong leadership, ready for the challenges facing our wonderfully diverse community. Our city must be safe for all, particularly our children. Our children must be able walk to and from school without fear of crime, abduction, or bullying.

Participate in the symposium
The 26th International Symposium on Polar Sciences organized by Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) will be held on May 12‐13, 2020 in Incheon, Republic of Korea. This symposium aims to bring polar scientists together to discuss their research findings and to promote international collaborative research. We cordially invite you to share your knowledge and perspectives on future outlook in polar research.
Humanity is undergoing dramatic global climate changes and facing global issues such as extreme weather, rising sea levels, food and water shortage. 'IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate' has also expressed concern about rapid sea level rise and the possibility of increasing frequency of extreme sea level events in the near future. The polar region is the place that holds the oldest climate records and shows the environmental changes earlier and clearer than any other place on earth. During the symposium, we will highlight the findings in polar science and technology to understand the changes we are currently experiencing in the global perspective and to find the solutions to those global issues.
Side meetings will be organized during the symposium to provide a platform for exchanging ideas with experts on appropriate themes as proposed. If you wish to hold a meeting, please contact us at email@example.com
The symposium website is currently under renovation. More information about abstract submission and registration will be provided on the symposium website from January 6, 2020. (http://www.kopri.re.kr/symposium/)

Introduction: Halloween Manipulation on Pixlr
first off im some what of a beginner at photo manipulation
and this is my first instructable so any input is welcome
im using pixlr and you can use almost any picture but for this
specific tutorial the teeth will need to be in good view
along with there eyes. ( you'll see why later )
the photo I'm using just found off of google images
Step 1: Getting Setup
The set up is easy and fast. first you will be promted to start a new picture
or uplaod from your computer go ahead and just upload the pic from your computer.
then on the box on the right with the layers u need to double click the lock.
this will unlock the layer so you can manipulate it.
then click the button on the bottom left of the same box. you will need that later.
Step 2: Starting With the Eyes
now click on the smudge tool. then zoom in really close to the eyes.
now switch to the 9 point blur brush. and make sure that the strength is at 50%.
ok now do some downward strokes from the middle of the pupil twards the bottom
of the eye to make a kind of cat eye effect , and do the same on the top if u got the room,
i dont. now open a new layer and then click on the brush tool and pick any of the sizes that will fit best
but on the side u need to pick a color of your choice ill use red.
make sure your still on the empty layer then cover up the majority of the eye. with the color.
then on the layers box click the mode drop down arrow scroll al the way down until you find overlay click that.
then go ahead and erase the over spray around the eyes then there you go colored eyes.
Step 3: The Teeth
first thing you do is selct the layer 0 / the layer u were on morfing the pupil.
use the same smudging tool. then zoom on the teeth then do the same as the eyes use downward strokes
to add a point to the teeth.
now to move on to the lips while were here. go back to layer 1/ the same layer you used to color the eyes.
sence the layer is already overlayed all u need is to go back the brush tool click on the color black then
paint over the lips it wont color the lips black but it will add kind of a creepy red.
try to avoid the teeth, now go back and erase the over spray.
Step 4: (OPTIONAL) Face Color
if your going with the vampire theme and you wanna make it look a little more realistic you
need to open another layer. then use the brush tool and a pretty big size use the color white.
and color only the face. AVOID THE MOUTH AND EYES. then overlay the layer and lower the opacity
to about 75%
Step 5: Be Creative
the rest is pretty much your own choice you can color the clothes the backround the hair morf the face some more if you want but there you go have fun with it this is my end result

"As the Anglican Covenant Turns" (or spins . . . or churns . . . ): Day II
Here's a snippet of Susan's report on a presentation by Dr. Jenny Te Paa:
I will not attempt to relay her whole message here ... but key for many in the room was Dr. Te Paa's confession that she had reconsidered her initial support for "a covenant process" as a result of her experience since the Windsor Report was issued and declared herself to be "both proud and embarrassed by the naivete" that kept her from recognizing, at the time of the Lambeth Commission, just how much "power politics" were in play in pushing an "agenda for domination" by insisting that "what we already had in place was not sufficient" and shifting to "bullying rhetoric used to exploit differences over human sexuality" into what Dr. Te Paa called: sudden onset arch-episcopal paroxysm.
A way to "cure" that disease, she suggested, was to enlist the aid of those not impacted by the syndrome. Dr. Te Paa went onto suggest that the combination of women, young people, indigenous peoples and LGBT folk between them (by her math) who do not see the current differences as "irresolvable differences" came to approximately 75.3% of the Communion ... and that this significant majority of Anglicans needed to be part of a "slowed down, measured & considered process of inviting more stakeholders in the conversations about what it means to be in covenant relationship with each other as Anglicans" offering what she called "a Good News cure" to sudden onset arch-episcopal paroxysm.
She rocked.

I LOVE Jenny. Every time I read something she has said I cheer. We met waaay back (well, not so way back, but over a decade ago, so to some that's way back) in a seminar on "Theologies from the Underside of History" in Ph.D.-land in Berkeley. She rocked then, she rocks now. (She was already the dean of the theological college in Auckland then -- was taking time off for her course work but somehow managing still to do part of her deaning duties.)

Book Review: '4D Strategies to LIVING UNSTUCK' by John Polish
Nevada author John Polish earned his B.S. in Business Administration from Youngstown State University, moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, and in 1997 earned his master's degree in education from the University of Nevada Las Vegas. John spent 17 years as a teacher and a football coach before becoming a full-time professional speaker, turning pain into positive. John founded the Unstuck Foundation, which is a non-profit organization to help people overcome tragedies and to teach people how to start sharing their stories to help others.
In his Introduction John introduces his thoughts: 'Just like most people I work with today, I looked at happiness as something to achieve. What I discovered is that we all have exactly what we need to live a happy life. It may be buried beneath a pile of hurts, hang-ups, and heartaches, but it's in there. It took some horrible tragedies for me to finally realize that what I was searching for was a fantasy. I never would have believed that it would take three separate tragedies—a car accident and losing my mother and then my daughter seven months apart—for me to gain the perspective I needed to find happiness. My experience was painful. I was stuck for a long time. But I learned some invaluable lessons along the way that I am about to share with you. In the process of getting unstuck, I let go of the illusion of a fantasy lifestyle, and what I found was even greater. The perfect life does not exist. The life I am living now is far from perfect, but it is wonderful. My constant pursuit to find success led me to something greater. I found happiness and a peace that surpasses understanding. I may not walk around with a huge smile on my face all the time, but I am happy. I am happy because I know that my life has purpose. And I have learned how to conquer my greatest fear: being stuck. I discovered that being stuck is a state of mind. It is real, but it is created by you. You get to set the expectations for your life. And you get to decide how long you will sit in your misery when you are not getting what you want. You have the power to get unstuck. My life has purpose, and that purpose is to help others learn how to live unstuck lives. I have taken the lessons I learned and created the 4D strategies to living unstuck. Learn how to apply these 4D strategies and you can live like there is nothing holding you back: Deal with your unmet expectations. Define your ideals. Develop your faith. Drive on. These strategies are designed to help you process your emotions. Keep in mind that we are all the sum of our 3 E's: education, experiences, and emotional intelligence. We are defined not just by what has happened in our lives but how we have responded. This book will help you understand the emotions that motivate you and the emotions that keep you stuck in your circumstances. By applying the 4 D strategies, you will be able to process your emotions quickly and get back to moving in the direction of your dreams. You will find confidence and the belief that everything will work out regardless of your situation. Your circumstances do not have to dictate your happiness.'
Though the book is quite short John does manage to make his ideas and guidelines clear. He fills the pages with memorable quotes, such as 'Children are happier because they live in the moment. They are not burdened by all the expectations. They still believe they can fly.'
'Positive psychology alone is not enough. We must master our emotional intelligence before we can move on and find happiness.'
'Our society has become desensitized. We have more ways to connect with people than ever before, yet we are the most disconnected we have ever been.' You may be reading this thinking that we are talking a lot about processing feelings and emotional touchy-feely things, and this is not for you. Good, it's not for me either. In fact, it is very common for people to not want to talk about their feelings, especially men. There is actually a condition known in psychiatry as normative male alexithymia - a personality construct characterized by the subclinical inability to identify and describe emotions in the self. It is found in 10% of males.'
Yes, there is an emphasis on Christian doctrine, but not so much that readers of many spiritual beliefs can benefit from his advice. Grady Harp, June 18

A coming of age story of a young person's interchange from child to adult – and are those as separate as we've been led to believe? Here's an upcoming show that explores that notion:
Cast: Eva Mendes, Cierra Ramirez, Patricia Arquette, Matthew Modine, Eugenio Derbez
Opening: 23 August
Runtime: 88 mins
As single mom Grace juggles work, bills, and her affair with a married doctor, her daughter, Ansiedad, plots a shortcut to adulthood after finding inspiration in the coming-of-age stories she's reading for school.
She then starts researching on coming-of-age stories and compiles a list of experiences she thinks she needs to go through to jump-start adulthood, but well, we all know that plan is going to backfire. At the end of the day, Ansiedad and Grace must learn that sometimes growing-up means acting your age.
"Being a parent doesn't make you an adult.
Growing up doesn't solve your problems."
So I was gonna write about a bunch of problems girls face while growing up – but then it got me thinking, when do we grow up? What defines being grown up? You don't reach an age and think, hey, I'm grown up. I'm 24 and yeah it sounds a little grown up but I still feel far from grown up.
I guess you could say the problems we faced as teens were a little more adolescent. Boys, school, identity, family, friendships. Now that some years have passed, nothing much has changed. Switch school out for work. There you go: boys, work, identity, family, friendships. In fact, I think problems escalate…
Tsk. Boys.
Anyways! If that got you thinking… or if you're still distracted by Eva Mendez in that dress, the good folks at Cathay Cineleisure Orchard are giving out 3 pairs of movie tickets to a preview screening of Girl in Progress on the 21st of August 2012, 7.15pm. All you need to do is answer this question:
Which actress plays the role of Grace in Girl In Progress?
Send your entries to firstname.lastname@example.com in the following format:
Subject: Cathay Cineleisure Orchard Contest – Girl In Progress – Stephanie
FULL NAME (as in NRIC):
Question: Which actress plays the role of Grace in Girl In Progress?
*Only the first 3 winners will be notified through email by Cathay Cineleisure Orchard.
*Incomplete entries will not qualify for the contest.
Easy peasy! Scroll up and you'll see that I've given you a clue. Send away, and enjoy your movie date ☺

Good Neighbors Build Better Communities
Posted · 101 views
There's something about home that makes us feel good. Home is where the heart is. Home for the holidays. There's no place like home.
For those of us at realtor.com®, it's easy to feel good about the work we do, too. We help bring people home. And in doing that, we help connect them to professionals who can help them find the home that's right for them.
Many of those professionals are Realtors® – members of the National Association of Realtors®. NAR is a trade association that represents 1.3 million Realtors®. And every year, NAR recognizes a select group of its members for the good work they do beyond helping people buy and sell homes to improve lives and communities across the U.S. and around the world. They call them Good Neighbors.
Realtor.com is the Good Neighbor Awards' primary sponsor; every year five Good Neighbor recipients receive $10,000 for their charity or project. This year was the 20th year of the program. So much in this industry and our world has changed over the past 20 years. Just think, 20 years ago there were no smartphones and no social media platforms!
Today, we can all leverage technology to improve the world around us, but the Realtor® Good Neighbors remind us of the value and impact of getting directly involved in our communities to make the world a better place.
When realtor.com began sponsoring the Good Neighbor Awards, we saw an opportunity to use technology and traditional media to draw public attention to what these Realtors® were doing in the real world. That's why we promote the program across social media, run a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal, and sponsor a Web Choice Favorites online voting program.
Through dedicated volunteer work, these Good Neighbors give back to their communities and inspire others to do the same. #GoodNeighborAwards
Vote for a cause close to your heart: https://t.co/g4HrDwhQXE pic.twitter.com/CBibiuNTva
— realtor.com (@realtordotcom) September 23, 2019
We award additional grant money to the winner and runners up from our online public voting. Nearly 55,000 votes were cast this year, and the 2019 Web Choice Favorite is Paul Wyman, who will receive an additional $2,500 donation for his nonprofit, Turning Point. Wyman established Turning Point to help people who are confronting opioid addiction get the resources and services they need. Turning Point helped 1,400 people last year access services related to addiction and rehabilitation.
Runners-up Bruce Johnson and Mark Solomon will each receive an additional $1,250 for their respective programs – SickKids Foundation and Veterans Community Project. Through SickKids Foundation, Johnson raises money through long-distance motorcycle ride fundraisers to benefit the Children's Miracle Network's 170 children's hospitals in the U.S. and Canada. Solomon co-founded Veterans Community Project, which establishes tiny house developments to combat veteran homelessness. The developments include additional resources for veterans, such as medical and mental health referrals, employment assistance, and addiction counseling and treatment.
We want to give a special shout out and congratulations to our #GoodNeighborAwards Web Choice Winners! Thank you to everyone who voted and shared these amazing stories. We can't wait for tonight!#NARAnnual pic.twitter.com/qhiror1xIT
— realtor.com® pro (@realtorpro) November 10, 2019
Congratulations to Wyman, Johnson, Solomon, and all of the 200 Good Neighbor Award recipients over the years. Every one of them inspires us to connect in meaningful ways to others and reminds us of the importance of building communities, one home at a time.

JAVIER MASCHERANO completed his move to Barcelona last night – with the Catalan giants insisting in a buy-out clause of 90million euros in his new contract.
The Argentine cost Barca in the region of 22million euros.
Mascherano, whose angling for a move away from Liverpool went as far as dropping out of the team to face Manchester City last week, said: "I am happy to have joined Barcelona.
"When the best club in the world comes after you, you can only be happy.
"I hope to grow as a player by playing alongside the Barcelona players, many of whom are world champions."
Mascherano revealed he turned down the chance to join ex-Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez at Inter Milan.
He added: "Inter was an option but Barcelona were the club who really showed they were interested."
Mascherano also hailed new team-mate Lionel Messi.
He said: "Messi is a special person. We have been very close for the past two or three years.
"He explained to me everything about Barca."
Mascherano will wear the number 14 shirt, which was previously the number worn by Thierry Henry prior to the Frenchman's departure this summer.
Mascherano underwent separate tests at the Hospital de Barcelona and at the Nou Camp yesterday and, after getting the thumbs up from Barcelona's medical team signed a four-year contract with the Spanish champions.
Club doctor Ricard Pruna aid: "It was an exhaustive medical that lasted around five hours. He is in excellent condition and is physically great.
"His cardiovascular level is perfect and he is a player who has had very few injuries."
