Apart from being one of my favourite chocolate flavours, orange is also one of my favourite colours. It gets to the point that when I actually see an orange coloured item, I immediately take mental note and at times even verbalise it. If you hang around me enough you'll soon know.
And so as I was on my way out to lunch, I clocked this orange cellophane packaging on my colleague's desk and stopped short.
Me: "what's that?" pointing, arm stretched across her face
L: "what? huh?" (I think she was more taken back by my sudden movement)
Me: "the orange thing"
L: (picking it up) jaffa cakes.
Me: ohh really? jaffa cakes…
L: do you want? (holding them out)
Me: mmmm I do, but I shouldn't (shaking my head, but not really moving from the side of her desk)
L: they're all the way from the uk…
Me: ooh? (seriously rethinking my answer)
L: hmmm? (still holding them out in my direction)
Me: but I shouldn't, really… should i? (looking at my other colleagues for support – the cakes have wheat, so hence my dilemma)
What happened next is actually a mystery… I think I actually did eat one as I walked into the lift, but then I remember saying how good I had been in not eating wheat-based items and left it at that. To be honest, both could have happened as I have witnesses to both paths being taken (I just double checked with two other people who were present, and they both seem to have wayward memories too). I'm quite happy if either of them did happen, "as long as you don't choose, everything remains possible." Just call me Ms. Nobody.

Trip reference number: BRAAC001
Trip Operator: Journey Latin America
From: £3,452.38
Many people who visit Brazil stay on the coast but if you'd like to participate in active adventures, the interior beckons. Here you combine trekking in the heart of Brazil's tableland scenery with snorkelling off the coast of the remote island of Fernando de Noronha.The interior of the north-eastern state of Bahía is scenically alluring and historically interesting. This is plantation country: cotton and sugar were cultivated here in Portuguese colonial times and thousands of African slaves worked on them, resulting in today's eclectic culture in this exotic region of Brazil. Beyond the plantations are forested hills punctuated by Lost World-like tablelands, remote and sparsely populated, separated by rushing rivers and tumbling waterfalls, and criss-crossed with delightful hikes.
Move on to Fernando de Noronha, the natural tropical beauty of which is protected by the Brazilian government. Some the world's best diving sites are to be found here, and the snorkelling off the rugged bays is equally spell-binding.

DAVIS, Calif. -- An 11-year-old California boy is being called a hero after he took three bullets to save his 2-year-old sister after shots broke out at a birthday party on Sunday, KCRA reports.
Carrie Joe, along with her son and daughter, were at a toddler's birthday party when the shooting happened.
"My son instantly blew cover and went over to his 2-year-old sister. He thought to protect her -- basically his body covering her," Joe told KCRA. "That's why I tell people he's my hero. He protected my baby. I hate that this happened to him because he didn't deserve it at all. My baby is a good child. He deserves to have his childhood and be able to play at parks."
The boy was shot in the chest, back, and knee, and had to undergo surgery to remove a kidney and his appendix.
Luckily, Joe said he is expected to make a full recovery.

More Portuguese & terrain work.
As I was clearing the table ready to repaint the room, I took a couple of pics of both armies so far, I'm pleased with the progress in such a short space of time. I need to paint up another three French battalions to balance up the numbers, so I will knock them off before starting work on the planned 'square' bases.
Forward thinking.
Having reached this stage I'm planning for the future. A somewhat alarming idea went through my head the other day, I will share it with you. I think it was Simon who suggested some time back that the game would work well using actual battalion bases as individual 'blocks', that is to say instead of having '4' blocks marked on the bases I could use 4 actual bases on a much larger grid scheme for really big battles. With the anniversary of Waterloo just 3 years away, and with many gamers planning special projects, such a game could potentially be a great visual spectacle, and given the speed with which I can paint these bases it would not be an impossible goal by any means. There is even a 'Commands & Colors' scenario for the battle and all of the troop types are available from Baccus. For me, to have such a long term project to work towards would be a good focus. I am giving this some serious thought! What do you think?
I am waiting for some more scenics to arrive before I begin work on improving the overall look of my terrain board. I have made more hill hexes and a few more 'wood' bases. As I wanted to avoid thick edges on my terrain items I found a good way of making very thin hex sections by coating a plastic hex with clear flexible glue, sprinkling with my mix of fine grit and 'earth' foundation flock and then leaving to dry overnight before peeling it off next day (see pic). The result is a flexible hex that can be laid flat of the table with no discernible edge and can be landscaped to taste. I think they break up the bare mat nicely and I have more planned. I now have river sections cut from thin plastic and these should be finished in a few days time.

Looking good Lee, you've come a long way in such a short space of time. I'd go with the Waterloo project, that would be something to see and no mistake!ReplyDelete
Lee - those armies look really impressive now. I for one would like to see you tackle the Waterloo project!ReplyDelete
I'm telling you what I've been told: Caçadores didn't carry their flags into battle. Having this historical detail shared, it's so nice to see the flags!! :D Love the effect!ReplyDelete
Cheers guys :-)ReplyDelete
I looked at the C&C Waterloo scenario last night - It's the opening stages, 11am to 3pm. The battlefield stretches from Hougoumont to Papelotte! It would require the following:
British/Allies - 56 infantry bases @31 figures each
16 Cavalry bases @ 18 figures each
6 Artillery bases. (12 model guns)
French - 44 Infantry bases
16 cavalry bases
8 Artillery bases (16 model guns)
We are obviously talking about higher formations here, but as you can see it is very achievable and the scenario looks challenging.
David, my Cacadores have indeed stored their colours :-) The other 2 units are line infantry but should carry 1 flag per battalion.
Thank you for leaving a comment, it will be published as soon as I have read it in order to avoid spam.

Are you perplexed by modern art? Why are some pieces – where the skill is awe inspiring – barely recognised? Whilst what can only be described as random daubs of paint on a canvas sell for thousands of pounds/dollars?
Me too!
In an endeavour to broaden my horizons, I visited the Royal Academy's Summer exhibition. My conclusion? 50% of the works sucked… big time!
Possibly the worst, a half torn off strip of masking tape in the middle of a canvas with a scribble of paint above – had actually been sold for £5000.
What's the message? I'm going to see how little I can do and how much someone mug will pay for it? I won't give the artist's name as I suspect it was only done to increase the notoriety of the particular "artist" – I use the term loosely. You probably know the name- it's a celebrity. But celebrity does not always equate with talent? I refer you to Brian Sewell's vitriolic review of the whole show here!
Fortunately there was plenty of talent to be seen, but you had to look for it.
Photographing the exhibits is prohibited so I've had to trawl internet pages for my favourites. "Landfill" a collage piece by Terry Setch and a fabulous figure walking towards a cross along the back of a knife blade – have evaded me! If you can find an image, please let me know?
This Grayson Perry's urn was stunning.
Then there the wonderful Silver Streak by David Mach.
I love the ingenuity! It's made entirely out of wire coat hangers fused together! The fuzziness is created by all the hooks.
I could have spent hours in the architecture room. Amazing models made from books. An Escher style building constructed in a lampshade. Exquisite bridges simply and elegantly designed. Playful creations made from Lego! I could go on, the scope was vast!
I was pleasantly surprised by Jane Harris's 'Divine'. Which was better "in the flesh" The effect achieved purely by the texture of the brushstrokes. Not sure I would class it as "Great" art but it certainly demonstrates some skill.
These black sunflowers were fabulous and also relied heavily on the wrinkled texture of dried oil paint.
I struggled with the video art. I'm not saying the images weren't good but I couldn't sit and watch them once again, never mind repeatedly!
So was I inspired? Despite a disappointing show overall, Yes! There is great art to be seen, it's just that not all you see is great art!
Oh, and by the way, I know what I'm, entering for next year's competition!
Would you like to know?
That would be telling!

Katoro Gold Plc (LON:KAT) has told investors that infill drilling at the Imweru gold project in Tanzania is going "significantly better than planned".
The explorer said that the programme is both ahead of schedule and under budget.
Specifically, it revealed that 75% of an expanded drill programme is now complete, it is 10 days ahead of schedule, and significant cost savings have been achieved.
It has commissioned a full environmental and social impact assessment study, and the company said a fund raising will no longer be required to pay for the study.
The company explained that it has also been able to change and expand the scope of the original Imweru plan – the programme now comprises a total of 31 holes for some 3,410 metres of drilling, rather than 8-10 holes for 1,400 metres.
READ:Newly independent Katoro Gold on the fast-track to production
Samples from the drill programme are being exported to labs in South Africa for analysis.
"We are extremely pleased with progress on the Imweru development programme," said Louis Coetzee, Katoro executive chairman.
"This, combined with the vast in-country experience of the technical teams, has put the company in a strong position to extract substantially more value out of the approved work program than initially expected."
Coetzee added: "The fact that the full ESIA can now be conducted in parallel to the Feasibility Study will enable the company to submit a far more complete and technically sound mining right application, which the company believes will significantly expedite the application process.
"The expanded drill program will make an invaluable contribution towards enhancing the integrity of the Imweru resource both quantitatively and qualitatively, whilst simultaneously allowing the company to complete all the geotechnical and hydrological work required for the Imweru Feasibility Study."

Hattiesburg, Mississippi – On Friday, September 20, Mayor Toby Barker was joined by Ward 1 Councilman Jeffrey George, University of Southern Mississippi President Dr. Rodney Bennett, Forrest County District 5 Supervisor Chris Bowen, House District 102 State Representative Missy McGee and representatives from The University of Southern Mississippi to discuss the construction of an 8-foot multi-use path on North 38th Avenue to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists.
The pathway's construction, which began earlier in the summer, will connect Hardy Street to the Longleaf Trace, just east of the 38thAvenue and West 4thStreet intersection. It will provide students and residents safer access to businesses, shops and restaurants on and between West 4thStreet and Hardy Street.
"It has been a long process to acquire the property and funds needed to make this project happen," said Councilman George. "I am excited to see progress in Ward 1 and know this is just the start of enhancing the Southern Heights neighborhood and transforming the western boundary of the Southern Miss campus," said George.
In late 2017, Councilman George brought this project forward as his primary budget request for Ward 1. Over the course of two years, the Council set aside funding for most of the project's budget. Additional funds were provided by the Forrest County recreation budget by District 5 Supervisor Chris Bowen.
However, it was the addition of state funding that allowed the project to finally move forward. During the special legislative session in summer 2018, Representative Missy McGee and other legislators advocated for and secured $100,000 from the BP settlement, specifically targeted for 38thAvenue.
"So many students, children and families travel N 38thAvenue by foot or on a bicycle each and every day," said McGee. "This multi-use path will greatly enhance the safety and quality of life on a very busy corridor."
"I want students and area residents to know that this is only the beginning for 38th Ave.," said Barker. "Next year, we will continue to transform 38thAvenue in appearance and functionality. When you pair this with all the exciting projects going on at the University, 38thAvenue will truly become an asset to the Midtown area."
The total cost for the project is $561,965.60 and is expected to be completed by February 2020.

Make your fantasy a reality
Do you ever find yourself thinking you could do a better job than half of the NFL GMs out there? Well if you're Matt Millen, you're wrong, but if you're anyone else, Reality Sports Online lets you put your money where your big mouth is. Designed by former NFL personnel, RSO builds up traditional fantasy football with the kind of long-term decisions real front offices have to deal with on an everyday basis -- drafting rookies, negotiating long-term contracts with free agents, staying under the cap, using the franchise tag, and resisting the urge to sign Terrell Owens just because you saw him do, like, 15 crunches in front of his house.

Cornering the Market
Nothing but Blue Skies
The Art of Hunger
Jim Crace is a British writer who has just published his third work of fiction without having made much impression in his first two. This seems likely to change soon. Born in London in 1946 but resident in Birmingham, Crace is apparently tied to no literary group of academic or political influence. Although our real business here is with his third work of fiction, Arcadia, a preliminary account of the first two, Continent and The Gift of Stones, may give some notion of where Jim Crace is coming from.
Continent contains seven short stories, all with a flavor of fantastic Africa. It doesn't have any big-game herds or very many naked jungle tribesmen. No geographical realities. Much of the African atmosphere is conveyed by names and titles, such as Corporal Beyat, 'Isra-kone, a district known as Ibela-hoy, a man called Warden Awni. Several of the stories describe the tragicomedies of semicivilization, as when a minor official in an obscure village aspires to modernize his visitors' lodge, and installs a much too powerful electric fan. There is an almost clinical report on a tribe where all the women become pregnant, and therefore give birth, simultaneously. There is a family that specializes in rearing a mutant version of the cattle called Belted Aurochs; the freemartins (neutrals) of this species are particularly prized because their milk, though scanty, is reputed to be powerfully aphrodisiac. The owner of the herd, who has used his splendid wealth to study some elementary biology, is embarrassed at the source of his money, but adjusts to it.
Other stories are simply episodes: a race is arranged and run between a horseman and a foot runner; the agent for a mining company, between solitude and frustration, goes quietly mad. They are deft stories, taut but not contrived. Commentators have proposed parallels with Borges and Coetzee, to whom I would add an overtone from V. S. Naipaul. Crace's narratives don't exploit current headlines, but slide into and out of fantasies in a way that leaves the imagination exercised and invigorated.
A second book but first novel, The Gift of Stones, is set in familiar British surroundings, but toward the end of the Stone Age, among prehistoric and preliterate people. The setting is by the seashore in a community of stone huts whose residents specialize in shaping flints into knives, axes, and arrowheads. Being single-minded in their pursuit of their occupation—not unlike the later inhabitants of Birmingham, one might think—they are very successful commercially. But an accident has separated the hero (who is nameless, like practically everyone else in his village) from the community of "stoneys." During the visit of marauding traders, he is struck on the right elbow by a bowman of the enemy gang, and, because the arrow is poisoned, has to have that forearm amputated. Nowhere in the world is there a better supply of stone knives for the…

US stocks began the year showing strength and the patter of large cap outperformance that was 2017 continued this past week. The Russell 2000 (RUT) was up 1.6% while the large cap focused Russell 1000 (RUI) put up a 2.51% performance last week.
In the volatility space, the 2017 pattern held up with the Cboe Russell 2000 Volatility Index (RVX) closing each day at a premium to VIX in the mid 40% range. The average premium in 2017 was around 43% so like the large cap outperformance last week, we've started with more of the same.
About 20 minutes into the trading year there was a short dated bullish RUT trade that came to the post by the escalators at Cboe. With RUT around 1542 there was a buyer of 100 RUT Jan 12th 1545 Calls at 11.80 who then sold 200 RUT Jan 12th 1595 Calls for 0.55 each. The net cost for each 1 x 2 spread was 10.70 and the payoff as of this coming Friday's close appears below.
A home run with this trade involves RUT moving all the way up to 1595 which would result in a profit of 39.70 per trade. That's a big move, and still 35 points higher than where RUT finished the week.

H-E-B's True Texas BBQ named best barbecue chain in the Lone Star State by Texas Monthly
H-E-B runs the best barbecue chain in Texas, according to Texas Monthly.
In an article Monday, the magazine gave high praise to in-store restaurant True Texas BBQ for its standout fare, including smoked meats and from-scratch sides and desserts.
The casual joint, designed like a stand-alone restaurant, offers all-natural meats by the pound, from brisket to turkey breast to St. Louis spare ribs. It's prepared by at least one trained, dedicated pitmaster at every location, Texas Monthly reported.
Houston scores big: Texas Monthly list of 25 Best New Barbecue Joints
Sandwiches, platters, stuffed potatoes, a barbecue Frito pie, rotating daily specials and banana pudding are also on the roster.
Of all the meats, sides, and desserts, the only item on the menu worth skipping, according to Texas Monthly, is the banh mi sandwich special.
H-E-B, which currently has 10 True Texas BBQ locations including an outpost in Kingwood, is expanding its True Texas BBQ concept, adding new locales from Magnolia to Midland, according to Texas Monthly.
The San Antonio-based grocery giant's plans also include a new location in the greater Houston area, set to launch in 2020, according to a representative for the company. The exact location and opening date have yet to be announced.

New Trends make HR more Human
New Trends make HR more Human
3. Challenging Work Environment - The buoyant economy will throw open lot of job opportunities and the demand for skilled and qualified manpower will far exceed supply. The challenge is to attract and retain your biggest asset "The people". The game changer would not only be stocks or cash but the culture that is more vibrant and provide challenges for one to experiment and make a mark for himself. The resultant recognition and reward will be asset that will make them stay with the organization for a long time.
5. Reverse Mentoring – Its finally gaining ground where Senior Leadership Members get to learn new concepts particularly technology related from fairly young and junior colleagues. Seniors are shedding inhibition to learn and adapt to changing scenario where it has become inevitable to perform without know how of new technology tools. Sure, the word of caution that Juniors be not allowed to surf the territory beyond the desired domain and the whole process is kept confidential so as not to bring the embarrassment for senior officials.

In case it's not obvious, the boys are being Wolverine (as so ably played by Hugh Jackman in the Xmen movies).
We used coffee grounds to make the chest hair.
Look at this angelic child. Surely not the same one who's temper tantrums are legendary in these parts.
We had a busy Canada Day with friends and family. I was feeling relaxed and quite celebratory (my own personal no-more-chemo milestone trumping my feelings about Stephen Harper and the Tories). It slowly started to sink in on this beautiful long week end that I am not recovering in order to get ready for the next round. I am done. No. More. Chemo. I am so relieved.
We are in chaos at the moment; trying to get organized to get out of town for a couple of weeks. The house is a mess, we are still working our way through our to do list and my spouse and I have been more than a little irritable with each other. If we are all still speaking to each other, it will be good to get away. I'm going to pretend I'm not a cancer patient, just a very tired bald person.
I've had my "radiation planning session" last week (more on that in a future post) and am now in the queue for radiation. I could be waiting anywhere from two weeks to two months. I plan to use that time working at feeling healthy again. I'm going to do a running clinic for breast cancer survivors at the Running Room (www.runningroom.com) and maybe take up yoga again.
Unfortunately, I seem to have developed lymphedema in my right arm. I am trying not to feel sorry for myself but it does feel pretty unfair. You can find more info on lymphedema at www.breastcancer.org and http://www.cancersupportivecare.com/lymphedema.html.
Thanks to all those who sent messages of condolences about Emma-dog. She was a lovely beast and we miss her terribly. As someone pointed out in the comments, we have fourteen years of beautiful memories.

Dhaka, Oct 13 (UNB) - Law Minister Anisul Huq on Sunday said no one involved in the murder of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet) student Abrar Fahad will be spared.
"There'll be no mercy for those involved in killing Abrar Fahad. Under the existing law, the culprits will be given the maximum punishment," he said.
He made the remarks while speaking at a dialogue jointly arranged by Bangladesh Shishu Academy and Save the Children, marking the 30th anniversary of Child Rights Convention.
He also assured that Fahad's brother Abrar Fayiaz will be given police protection, if necessary.
"Abara Faiyaz is reportedly feeling unsafe to go to his institution Dhaka College. If this is true, we're ready to give him security. If Fahad's brother wants security, law enforcers will provide him security," said the minister.
Abrar Faiyaz is a student of Dhaka College.
Anisul Huq mentioned that the government is sincere in delivering justice to the victims and disposing of the criminal cases at the shortest possible time.
"We're trying to expedite the trial of such cases at the fastest possible time…the trial for the murder of madrasah student Nusrat is over, now awaiting a verdict which will be given on October 24," he said.
The minister further said the government will take action against the university authorities if the problem of ragging on the campus is not resolved.
"Ragging on a campus is a crime. Protests have to come from the students against it...if no action is taken despite their complaints, we'll take action against the authorities of those institutions," he said.
Abrar Fahad, 21, a second-year student of electrical and electronic engineering, was beaten to death on October 7 reportedly by Chhatra League leaders at Buet's Sher-e-Bangla Hall.
Abrar's father, Barkatullah, filed a case with Chawkbazar Police Station on Monday evening against 19 people.

Smelly Washer?
Are you having the problem that your clothes come out of the washing machine and not smelling as "Spring Awakening" as the fabric softener advertised?
If you've had your washing machine for a while, you will notice that when you leave the lid open, an odor of stagnation seems to waft in the washroom. This is could easily remedied by keeping the washing lid closed, one may think. As to the immediate problem of the smell in the washroom, yes that would be a quick fix. However, more often than not, a quick fix is often more costly in the long run. Stagnant residue water left in the washing machine has no where to evaporate when the lid is shut and sealed tight so this smelly water gets into the crevices of the machine, smelling worse and worse with every cycle. It's a slow smelly process if you recently bought a brand new washing machine and it might be years before you smell any funkiness but by keeping the lid closed it will eventually happen.
Another thing that is happening is that the hard Maltese water is calcifying inside the Washing Machine. Just like on the heating elements of your electric kettle, most people try to keep the electric element immersed in water as when it gets exposed to the air it will begin to stink. Consider that in a kettle you only boil water whereas in a washing machine you are adding washing detergent and fabric softener to the mix as well.
Not for nothing, your poor washing machine needs a healthy dosage of its very own mouthwash to cure it from its funky smell problem every now and then. You may buy the most concentrated fabric softener and add the whole bottle to your load and this would all be in vain if you don't clean your washing machine from the inside. Every now and then you've got to take some cleaning vinegar and pour a healthy amount into your washing detergent dispenser and run the washing machine on a long program at 90C. Same as with the kettle. The Cleaning Vinegar is a great de-greaser / de-calcifying agent. You might what to just wash your sheets in the next load immediately there after as some of the vinegar smell might still be present, but it will soon leave completely, leaving you able to leave your washing machine lid a jar instead of completely shut. We've obviously got the cleaning vinegar for you, to purchase just click here.

The format features celebrities who perform anonymously in elaborate head-to-toe costumes and are unmasked if they receive the least number of votes. In the United States votes are limited to the live studio audience members due to the show being pre-taped. While the panelists do the guessing based on clues the singers give about themselves, the panelists do not participate in the vote. Singers in the American version have spanned the range of Grammy award winners to professional athletes.
Million Dollar Money Drop was an American game show which aired on Fox in the United States and Canada. It is based on the UK series The Million Pound Drop Live.

It's been an absolutely brilliant Saturday. It's made the stressed of the week melt away.
I'm back to teaching a lot more cooking this year. Which means more apple pies, pizzas and curries taken home from demonstrations. So not so bad really.
I have been sketching on my mobile phone, a great way to unwind before I go to sleep at night.
Have a big painting in my head waiting to get out onto the plexi glass that is in the shed.
The rest of my brain is filled with education, fear of ofsted and strategies for troubled kids.

What is normal? everyone's normal is different and yet we all have this thought as to what normal is.
In some ways being sick or chronically ill can be considered normal because a lot of people in the world struggle with some sort of health condition that affects their daily life (some don't feel comfortable talking about their condition and so you don't even know what struggle they live with.) If this is all so average to so many than why does it feel as though we are the only one going through it?
Photo ©Amanda English Photography
Bottom line is no matter how many others go through the same thing you may be experiencing you still sometimes will feel alone, I've had times where I have isolated myself. I felt alone and wanted to talk to people but often found myself pushing everyone away.
The hardest thing about struggling is everyone has their hardships to some it may seem like theirs are less than what you are going through but there truly is no scale of who is going through something harder, everyone deals with things differently.
Today we all talk about being positive, happy, etc that we forget we are human every emotion must be felt, the good the bad all of them. Do you remember that time you were on the verge of tears and because you felt like it made you weak you simply held back and pretended nothing was wrong.. I'm sure you felt really terrible right? – reasoning is because bottling things in isn't healthy.
There is nothing wrong with crying actually I think we all would be better off if we allowed our self a little cry every once in awhile.
So today if you are upset, happy, scared, allow those feelings to be felt. ♥

The creation of social media and smartphones has had many effects on society especially in youths. Many argue that there are more positives then negatives when it comes to such topic. I believe social media has had much more of a positive effect to society than a negative one, as well as smartphones. With these creations people can keep in touch with old friends and family and have the opportunity to catch up with each other's life plus it makes things get done quicker.
I wasn't such a big social media fan in my younger years. I had felt that it only distracts one from their studies or work. My first three years of high school I had no Twitter, MySpace, Facebook etc. At that time I just felt there was no point in having one, I thought it was dumb. As senior year approach I started to realize how cool and interesting stuff took place in these networks. I started to feel left out when my friends would talk about it. So then I decided to make my own account in Facebook and see for myself why it was so cool to have a Facebook account.
I not only was able to reconnect with my old elementary buddies but I was also able to connect with family members who I had not seen in such a long time. Although these social networks can distract people from their school work, it can also help them with it because with these networks people can connect with others via web chat and groups. Where peers help peers with their school work, which is quite beneficial because if one needs help but they can't meet up with someone then it would be quite difficult for them to understand the material. In my high school calculus class our teacher encouraged us to video chat with each other so that we can help each other with the homework and study for test because not everybody could meet up and have a study session. Social networks have big impacts on the lives of their users either positive or negative, in my case it has been quite positive overall. I personally believe that I can go without using social media for en extensive amount of time
I've only had a smartphone for a couple of months now and I have to say it helps me do things quicker and it's very resourceful. It's like my own mini laptop. I can work on word documents, powerpoint's and even excel spread sheets. I also use it to get directions, traffic notifications, Facebook notifications and weather forecast. Smartphones come with many features and apps

Reinventing Tea – How to Brew Like a Pro
Anybody who knows me knows that I love tea. I drink about 3 cups of hot green tea per day, sometimes more, even in the summertime. I also recently got a tattoo of a steaming cup of tea on my left arm, which symbolizes my mother (from whom I learned this wonderful habit). So naturally, I was very interested when I reached the tea brewing segment of Herbal Academy of New England's Introductory Herbal Course. I recently signed up for the course and have finally had some time to really dive in, and what do you know, I learned something already!
Did you know that you don't have to have boiling water to make tea? Sure, we've all heard of sun tea, but that isn't what I mean. You can actually make tea using cold water and some herbs – using no heat at all – and let it brew inside your dark refrigerator. It seems obvious now, especially when you think of how people make infused water out of cucumbers and fruits and whatnot…but I never thought to make an herbal tea this way.
So I took this newfound knowledge and made myself a refreshing summer herbal tea using one of my favorite decaffeinated herbs – hibiscus.
Hibiscus Lemon Iced Tea Recipe (Cold Brewed)
- 1.5 T Dried Hibiscus Flowers (or herb of choice)
- 1 Fresh Slice of Lemon
- 12 oz Water
- 1 Pint Jar
Just place your herb into the jar, toss in your slice of lemon, and fill the jar with water. Replace the lid and leave it in your refrigerator for several hours (or overnight). Remove the lemon and strain your tea through a coffee filter or finely woven cloth (I like to buy tea towels from Walmart for infusions that use oil, but water can get through a coffee filter much more easily than oil). That's it! Enjoy your tea!
Bonus Tea Brewing Tip
How to brew loose leaf tea without escapee herbs floating in your teacup
We've all seen those little teabags that you can scoop your herbs into and seal shut with an iron, but geez, who has the time for that?? And I don't know about you, but I hate hate hate having floaties in my tea. It's gross and I never buy tea from coffee shops that haven't figured out how to prevent this. Tea balls just don't work…if you're not a tea drinker and want to serve tea to people, don't even think about using these stupid little worthless contraptions. Here is my easy (and frugal) method:
- Get a coffee filter and a clothespin.
- Scoop a tablespoon of herbs into the center of your coffee filter and fold all the ends in.
- Use the clothespin to secure the filter against the side of your coffee cup.
- Pour hot water over the teabag and steep for 15 minutes.
Easy, right? Now go make some tea!

Spotlight on Afrikaners' role against apartheid
FUNDAMENTALISTS who believe that People's War and suchlike mass pressures caused apartheid to collapse will probably bristle at Professor David Welsh's argument that the "movementawayfrom apart-heid to majority rule would have taken far longer and been much bloodier were it not for the changes undergone by Afrikaner nationalism itself".
In one chapter, Fissures and Fractures in Afrikaner Nationalism, Welsh notes that in the mid- to late 1980s, younger Afrikaners started to differ with their elders who had sired and nurtured racial discrimination.
The manifestations were protests against conscription for the army and the war in Namibia-Angola, anti-establishment rock music that had departed from the patronising Boeremusiek, and alternative Afrikaans journalism led by Max du Preez's Vrye Weekblad newspaper.
"Without the widespread recognition among whites in general, and Afrikaners in particular, that apartheid had not only failed, but that its lingering residue posed a danger to white survival, the transition could not have succeeded (as relatively peacefully as it did)," Welsh contends.
The retired academic should be praised for acknowledging that no single factor satisfactorily explains the "miracle" political transition.
He inter alia credits the Soweto uprisings, and the growing strength of black opposition.
Notes Welsh: "Black resistance in the 1980s had its roots in what had gone before, but its scope, intensity and durability was far greater than what had occurred in 1960, after Sharpeville, or in 1976-77."
Welsh was born in the Mother City and educated at the Cape Town and Oxford universities. He taught at UCT from 1963 until he retired in 1997. He has written two books, The Roots of Segregation (with Frederick Van Zyl Slabbert) and South Africa's Options.

This amazing video explains the difference between the 3D, 4D and 5th dimensions.
'We use a twelve-dimensional model and you, sitting here in a physical body exist in the 3rd dimension: it is matter-based.
The 4th dimension is called the astral plane: it is basically emotionally-based. Together, these two dimensions make up what is called the Lower Creation World. These are the dimensions where the game of separation is carried out. These are the only dimensions in which illusion of good and evil (duality) can be maintained and in which you can feel separated from Spirit and each other.
The planet is vibrating at the level of the mid-astral so it is beginning to feel like a dream state...for many. You are never quite sure if you are awake or asleep. Continuities are breaking down. You'll notice that your dream-states are changing, that as you wake up you are not quite sure if you are awake. You will become lucid while you are dreaming, fully conscious in that state. You will be fully self-aware as you move back and forth between different realities, and all of them will feel equally real to you. It won't seem like there is only one true reality, anymore.
The 5th through the 9th dimensions make up the Mid-Creation Realm, in the model we use. The 5th dimension is the Lightbody dimension, in which you are aware of yourself as a master and a multidimensional being. May of you have come from this plane to be Lightworkers here.'
This text is an excerpt from What is Lightbody by Tachira Tachi-Ren, Archangel Ariel.

Objective: Lymph node metastasis leads to high mortality rates of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, it is still controversial to define clinically negative neck (cN0) and positive neck (cN1-3).

Methods: We retrieved candidate biomarkers identified by proteomic analysis in OSCC from published works of literature. In training stage, immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis was used to determine the expression of proteins and logistic regression models with stepwise variable selection were used to identify potential factors that might affect lymph node metastasis and life status. Furthermore, the prediction model was validated in validating stage.

Results: We screened eight highly expressed proteins related to lymph node metastasis in OSCC and found that the expression levels of SOD2, BST2, CAD, ITGB6, and PRDX4 were significantly elevated in patients with lymph node metastasis compared to the patients without lymph node metastasis. Furthermore, in training and validating stages, the prediction model base on the combination of CAD, SOD2 expression levels, and histopathologic grade was developed and validated in patients with OSCC.

Conclusions: Our findings showed that the developed model well predicts the lymph node metastasis and life status in patients with OSCC, independent of TNM stage.

Fintechs and the Psychology of Trust
In the 14th century, Chaucer used the word trust to mean "virtual certainty and well-grounded hope." Since then, psychologists have described trust as an essential ingredient for social functioning, which, in turn, affects many economic variables. So how do we define trust in the 21st century, in the age of the internet? In particular, how do fintechs, relative newcomers in the financial services industry and not yet coalesced into an industry, gain the trust of the public? Would they more effectively gain that trust by relying on banks to hold them to certain standards, or by coming together to create their own?
In 2004, social psychologists Hans-Werver Bierhoff and Bernd Vornefeld, in "The Social Psychology of Trust with Applications in the Internet," wrote about trust in relation to technology and systems. They observed that "trust and risk are complementary terms. Risk is generally based on mistrust, whereas trust is associated with less doubts about security." They further explained that trust in technology and systems is based on whether an individual believes the system's security is guaranteed. Psychologically speaking, when companies show customers they care about the security of their information, customers have increased confidence in the company and the overall system. Understanding this provides insight into the development of certification authorities, third-party verification processes, and standardized levels of security.
To understand how fintechs might gain the trust of consumers and the financial industry, it's worth taking a step back, to look at how traditional financial services, before the internet and fintechs, used principles similar to those outlined by Bierhoff and Vornefeld. Take, for example, the following list of efforts the industry has taken to garner trust (this list is by no means comprehensive):
- FDIC-insured depository institutions must advertise FDIC membership.
- All financial institutions (FI) must undergo regulator supervision and examination.
- FIs must get U.S. Patriot Act Certifications from any foreign banks that they maintain a correspondent account with.
- Organizations with payment card data must comply with the PCI Standards Council's security standards and audit requirements.
- Organizations processing ACH can have NACHA membership but must follow NACHA Operating Rules and undergo annual audits and risk assessments.
- The Accredited Standards Committee X9 Financial Industry Standards Inc. has developed international as well as domestic standards for FIs.
- The International Organization for Standardization has also developed international standards for financial services.
- The American National Standards Institute provides membership options and develops standards and accreditation for financial services.
FIs have often been an integral part of the standards creation process. To the extent that these standards and requirements also affect fintechs, shouldn't fintechs also have a seat at the table? In addition, regulatory agencies have given us an additional overarching "virtual certainty' that FIs are adhering to the agreed-upon standards. Who will provide that oversight—and virtual certainty—for the fintechs?
The issue of privacy further adds to the confusion surrounding fintechs. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) of 1999 requires companies defined under the law as "financial institutions" to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer information. Further, the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Safeguards Rule requires FIs to have measures in place to keep customer information secure, and to comply with certain limitations on disclosure of nonpublic personal information. It's not clear that the GLBA's and FTC's definition of "financial institution" includes fintechs.
So, how will new entrants to financial services build trust? Will fintechs adopt the same standards, certifications, and verifications so they can influence assessments of risk versus security? What oversight will provide overarching virtual certainty that new systems are secure? And in the case of privacy, will fintechs identify themselves as FIs under the law? Or will it be up to a fintech's partnering financial institution to supervise compliance? As fintechs continue to blaze new trails, we will need clear directives as to which existing trust guarantees (certifications, verifications, and standards) apply to them and who will enforce those expectations.
As Bierhoff and Vornefeld conclude, "it is an empirical question how the balance between trust and distrust relates to successful use of the Internet." Although Chaucer was born a little too soon for internet access, he might agree.

IWC Food Service Expands Produce Options
Two big names in the food industry are now combined with the expansion of the IWC produce line. Ronnie Gaw joined the IWC team in early 2017 and brought his expertise over from his long-time company, Gaw Produce, which shut down in December 2016. His father and grandfather began the produce business, shutting down after nearly 55 years in the business. "I was hired in May after doing some consulting for IWC," Gaw said. "There is a growing market for fresh produce and there are a lot of clients from schools to restaurants who use it." He has brought some of that business over to IWC as he is now the company produce buyer, merchandising and sales. "We really designed the position when we brought Ronnie on because he is perfect for all of that, " Bob Mackie said. "We were lacking knowledge in produce and he is able to bring in new product lines, geographical areas with clients, along with new services." Jimmy Mackie, IWC CEO, also noted that a growing number of Hispanic restaurants request a lot of fresh produce. "It is a win-win for everyone," he said. A new truck, "Produce Express," is dedicated for daily fresh produce deliveries in the Cookeville area. For more information, please call the dedicated produce line at 931.527.4299 or visit www.goiwc.com.

Third post today… Strange, I know. But I made a page when I came home out of a sketch I've had on my desk for quite some time. I've been waiting for the right papers to land on my doorstep. Well, they did this Friday and the sketch challenge ends tonight…
Here is my page with some Sunny Bo Bunny papers and two of my favorite girls – my mom and my niece on midsummer celebration. They match!!! And they also match both papers and the turquoise color in the color twist! LOL!
And here is the fab sketch (and prize and color combo) by BeckyFleck over at Page Maps Blog.
Love this sketch, and I'm really happy with how my page turned out. This is the last post for today. Promise!!!

Mitt Romney has this going for him: He is a proven turnaround artist.
The former governor of Massachusetts cut his professional teeth at Bain Capital, a company specializing in making sick companies well and underperforming assets valuable.
At a recent campaign stop, he says he turned around the Olympics, he turned around Massachusetts, and he is now ready to turn around the United States.
How will Romney lead the country if elected?
And, what would he have done differently these past three years? The former governor jumps into this conversation with vigor—the kind that bespeaks conviction. This is clearly Romney's comfort zone.
The first, second and third rule of any turnaround, he says, is focus, focus and focus—finding out what is critical to the turnaround and focusing on it. Had he been in President Obama's shoes, he says, he would have entered the White House with one goal: to speed the country's recovery from the financial crisis.
Instead, he argues, Obama spent his first two years in office on healthcare.
More specifically, Romney lays down what he describes as seven rules of successful economies.
1. Make employer tax rates competitive, to attract businesses. He argues that U.S. corporate tax rates are now the second-highest in the world after Japan and must come down. (This does not include the state tax burden, which puts the U.S. over the top in most states.)
2. Streamline regulations and create a bureaucracy geared to cooperating with the private sector.
3. Embrace fair trade policies, and work to eliminate unacceptable infractions, such as China's persistently undervalued currency and theft of intellectual property.
4. Energy policy must be practical; no country should be spending money needlessly on energy imports.
5. Any successful country must have an unquestioned rule of law.
6. Immigration and education policies must ensure the availability of extraordinary human capital.
7. A government should not be spending more than it takes in.
How does the president score on these guidelines?
On many he certainly talks the talk. On corporate tax policy, though, he and Romney are polls apart. There is an emerging consensus in Washington that our stated rates are too high and our code too complex. However, the GOP and the Democrats disagree on how much corporations are actually paying out to the IRS. The current liberal line is that our rates may be high, but the amount of taxes our corporations actually pay relative to income is lower than that paid in most countries because of tax breaks and exceptions. The business community doesn't see it that way.
One study, by Cincinnati College of Law Professor Paul Caron, indicates that the "U.S. effective tax rate on new investment was 34.6% in 2010, which was the highest rate in the OECD and the fifth-highest rate among 83 countries. The average OECD rate was 18.6% and the average rate for 83 countries was 17.7%."
Since new investment is essential to growth, this report is worrisome. A study from the CATO Institute also portrays U.S. corporations at a disadvantage, saying, "We find that the U.S. effective corporate rate is 35.0 percent, which is much higher than the 80-nation average of just 18.2 percent."
Our own Bruce Bartlett offers a different view, comparing historical tax collections from one type of corporation with the country's GDP, and concluding that corporations' share has dropped precipitously.
The CATO group tears up this argument, pointing out that the share of income contributed by different types of businesses has changed substantially, and that Bartlett, ignoring the expanded role of "S Corp." and "LLC" companies, fails to make his case.
More contradictory data are provided by the General Accountability Office and the Treasury. According to Media Matters, the GAO estimated that "the average U.S. effective tax rate on the domestic income of large corporations with positive domestic income in 2004 was an estimated 25.2 percent."
Moreover, in June 2007, the Treasury Department reported that, "If the revenue from tax preferences were used to lower the corporate tax rate, the rate could be lowered from 35 percent to 27 percent while producing approximately the same revenue."
While Mr. Romney's pitch for lower corporate tax rates makes a better sound bite than the somewhat more nuanced endorsement of a simpler tax regimen, he is on solid ground pressing for an overhaul of corporate taxes. His tilt is towards lower taxes for corporations, which would cheer the business community and favor expansion. Mr. Obama has also endorsed corporate tax reform, but is generally thought to favor higher business taxes.
As to streamlining our bureaucracy, nearly everyone agrees that our regulatory environment is a disaster. Even President Obama has talked about trying to cut our red tape, and making our legislators and regulators more conscious of the risk/reward ratio of new rules.
Despite Mr. Obama's acknowledgement of this problem, his administration has authored massive new rounds of rules and regulations. The energized staffs at the EPA, NLRB, OSHA, FDA and other agencies seem convinced that the country's woes stem in part from the laissez-faire policies of George W. Bush; they are determined to reverse gears. Mr. Romney wins this round hands down.
Mr. Romney can also take the president to task for making little headway on energy policy, failing to promote expanded trade (even though Mr. Obama has ranked this high on his to-do list), not adhering to the rule of law—as in pushing through a sweet deal for the UAW in the GM bailout, as opposed to hewing to established bankruptcy guidelines—and not effecting any change in our dysfunctional immigration policies, which toss out people we've educated and trained and keep those without skills.
He surely can score points on the topic of excess spending. As he points out, the debt accumulated during Mr. Obama's term in office tops the total amassed by all the presidents who have come before. That's quite a record.

The Awesome New Manga Post! – Nanatsu no Taizai (The Seven Deadly Sins)
Hello one and all, and welcome to our second edition of WRA's Awesome New Manga Post!
I know it's been a while since I did the first post of this kind, but with how busy things have been and with the regular breakdowns in between, I really just haven't had as much time on my hands as I would have liked. However, a startling new manga came to my attention recently that I feel is well worth sharing. In fact, I believe that if it continues on its current course, it may rival the current big four in popularity before we know it.
So without further ado, I proudly present Nanatsu no Taizai, or "The Seven Deadly Sins"!
If you're curious as to what The Seven Deadly Sins is about, read below…
Genre: Shonen.
Release schedule: Weekly.
Publishing details: Published in Weekly Shonen Magazine.
Mangaka: Written by Nakaba Suzuki.
Status: Ongoing.
In the Kingdom of Britannia exists a well-known legend of a group of notorious and evil knights who once plotted to overthrow the Kingdom. According to this legend, these seven powerful knights, known as "The Seven Deadly Sins", were defeated at the hands of the Holy Knights and sent into hiding, although rumored to still be alive.
Ten years after that incident, the Holy Knights themselves staged a coup de'tat and overthrew the current king, taking control of Britannia in the process. Seeing that her people were suffering under their iron fist, the king's youngest living heir sets out on a journey to find The Seven Deadly Sins – the only warriors who's strength was known to rival that of the Holy Knights – to enlist their aid in an effort to save her Kingdom.
Main Characters
Listed below are some of the main characters of The Seven Deadly Sins. Character descriptions may contain minor spoilers, however, most details mentioned below are learned within the first few chapters of the manga and thus, aren't overly big giveaways. Still, if you'd prefer to be "surprised" please skip this section.
As the protagonist of our story, Meliodas is a seemingly young, happy-go-lucky and fearless boy who runs a bar known as the "Boar Hat" with the help of his animal companion "Hawk" (who actually happens to be a pig). Despite living what appears to be a normal, day-to-day life, things take a sudden about-turn when a strange knight wearing rusted armor enters his inn.
As it so happens, this so-called "Rust Knight" is actually Princess Elizabeth in disguise. After saving Elizabeth from an attack by a local lord and his knights using a strange, magical sword he wears on his back, Meliodas decides to help her in her efforts, and so sets out on an adventure with her in search of the Seven Deadly Sins.
As the third princess of Britannia, Elizabeth is a kind, compassionate and strong-willed girl who escapes the kingdom after witnessing the questionable acts of the Holy Knights against her people.
Despite being hunted by the Holy Knights, and with a strong desire to end the suffering of her people, Elizabeth sets out on a journey together with Meliodas to save Britannia, where along the way, she begins to learn the true meaning of what it is to lead others even through the greatest hardships and sorrows and how courage and friendship can lend strength even in the most desperate times.
Hawk is a very opinionated talking pig who seems to have a great sense of pride and an air of self-importance. Despite this, he is often the butt of a joke and the unfortunate victim of collateral damage, much to his own detriment.
Regardless of his seemingly endless bout of bad luck, Hawk is very resilient and brave, even in the face of great danger, and with a bit of wit, a wild imagination and in some cases, even a commanding sense of authority when need be, Hawk accompanies Meliodas and Elizabeth on their search for the Seven Sins, all the while proving that even the back of a pig can carry a lot of burdens and a lot of beer.
I've only listed three of the main characters so far because I feel as if I'd be ruining the surprises if I gave anything away about the rest. Part of the fun in reading this manga is discovering each new character as they are discovered and that in itself forms an important part of the journey.
Personal Thoughts
With a great, classic fantasy art style, a rich, deep, adventure-driven story and a great cast of truly memorable characters, you seriously can't go wrong with Nanatsu No Taizai, especially if you have a taste for a classical fantasy adventure. It is, in my opinion, truly one of the best manga I have ever read to date so far and although it's still relatively young – with only 52 chapters released as of writing this – I can already tell just by the quality of the work and its booming popularity (It has already sold 1.7 million copies on the first five volumes) that it will most certainly grow into something big, even comparable to the likes of Naruto and One Piece.
I haven't felt this excited about a manga in a long time and I hope others feel the same way after reading it.
The Final Verdict
If you're still here, you're wasting precious time that could be used to read this great new manga! What are you waiting for? Go now dammit! >_<
For those who are interested in reading Nanatsu no Taizai, you can find it HERE.
Please remember to support the manga by buying it if it's available in your area, especially if it's something you end up enjoying! Also, feel free to comment and leave your thoughts on the manga in the comments section below, or simply vote for your own score on the following poll.
Happy reading! ^ ^
