I was thrilled to bits as my most anticipated day has finally arrived—Friday. It has been a very busy week for me. I was tied up with my job, working my fingers to the bone. I jump for joy not because I'll finally have my perfect day off or Friday night out but because our cell group was scheduled on Friday night.
By the way, cell group is group of
people close friends who meet once a week with the purpose of developing holistic growth centered on the Word of God. It consists of people (dabarkads) from different walks of life bounded together with one common goal "To love God and to love His people".
Well, what a better way to spend our quality time together than in a place that offers sweet space, cozy ambiance and delectable
affodable treats. Our feet brought us to Cafe Travel, the newest coffee shop in Taft just in front of De La Salle University (DLSU) that opened just a couple of months ago. Since we are all sick of eating in fast food chains and typical fancy coffee shops, for a change we all agreed to have our cell group in this soothing place to relax, unwind and enjoy each other's company.
It was all our first time to go to this place. We were expecting an ambiance of not anything less than travel hub, luggage, maps and pictures of beautiful places because of its name in which we think somehow was given a justice and satisfy our imaginations.
The inside of the coffee shop is divided into cubicles that look like double deck lounge, just choose for yourself which space suits you well. This set-up provides privacy and homey experience to customers while bonding with friends, studying for exam or even an intimate time with your special someone; or if you feel like melancholic you can even go solo without feeling alone!
Each nook and deck has designated tables and pillows that you can use as a cushion to seat on or for your back. And don't forget to remove your shoes before going inside the cubicles or climbing the stairs for that's the golden rule here.
Everything looks perfect here if only the words hand written on the walls (by the customers) are inspiring quotes or bible verses that are heartening and uplifting. A soothing sound of lovely and calming songs, Christian or inspiring songs with beautiful lyrics playing on the background is also a dazzling idea.
And after all is said and done. We wouldn't dare miss the chance to try this coffee shop's specialty. We ordered their best selling Travel Special Vanila Oreo 180php which for me tastes so divine but for my friends too sweet, Travel caramel 180php and Travel chocolate cookie 180php and my most favorite ham and cheese sandwich 120php.
They offered variety of options of hot and cold coffee for the coffee lover out there. Frappe, beverages, smoothie, soft drink and tea are also available on the menu. And if you come hungry you can enjoy their mouthwatering sandwiches, pastries and cakes.
We really enjoyed our time here! Well, in fact we were the last group of customers left before the coffee shop close at haft past eleven. The staff were so courteous not too shoo us away. The company of this wonderful people made it a night to remember talking non-stop, giggling, bullying and listening to each other's stories.
The sweet, cozy space, very warm staff, delectable options of coffee, frappe, smoothies and pastries to satisfy your cravings will make you stay and come back for a visit and not to mention the free WiFi. So if you're around the area, make sure to drop by. We will definitely recommend this to our friends since it just close to our service venue in PICC, it's an ideal place for cell group and discipleship.
Cafe Travel is located at Archer's Nook Dormitory – 2464 Taft Avenue, Malate, Manila Contact No.: 0915-991-8416. Also check out there facebook page Cafe.Travel.

If a history of Internet anonymity is ever written, a key figure will be Finland's Johan "Julf" Helsingius and his computer, known as anon.penet .fi. And February 8, 1995, will be remembered as the day that Internet anonymity first came in conflict with the law - and lost. Anon.penet.fi acts as a remailer so Internet users can send messages anonymously. But on February 8, Finnish police served Helsingius a warrant demanding the address of a user who had anonymously distributed documents allegedly owned by the Church of Scientology.
The ease with which the church obtained the real name of an anonymous user shocked many on the Net. According to Helsingius, hundreds of users have since asked him to remove their names from the anon.penet.fi database. But he points out that while it's necessary for his server to maintain a database of addresses so that replies to anonymous posts can be forwarded to the correct person, "a technically skilled person can register with a false name."

Rope has long served as a staple in the bondage aspect of BDSM in Western culture. Yet, much of what is practiced today in regards to rope bondage has evolved from Eastern culture, specifically Japan. In the 1400s rope became a tool used by Japanese warriors to secure their captured enemies on battlefields, and by the 1600s it became common in law enforcement. The forms that the warriors and law enforcement used became known as Hojojutsu, which was characterized by quick knots made from natural fiber rope. It was recognized as a martial art (think jujitsu or karate).
Over the years Hojojutsu faded from practice and is not widely practiced today. However, it serves as the main influence for modern rope bondage that is practiced both in the East and the West. The two main modern forms are called Shibari and Kinbaku.
The word shibari in Japanese means "decorative tying" and was not used in the context of bondage, but rather for things like wrapping ribbon on presents. Western culture took the word and applied it to bondage, giving it its meaning today. Kinbaku is a Japanese verb meaning "bind tightly" and the meaning has stayed relatively the same in Western usage. There is no exact date when the West started to adopt these practices from Japan, but for hundreds of years they have been slowly assimilating into the Western BDSM culture.
There is some debate over the differences between the two forms because each person who practices does so in a slightly different way. Both forms are considered erotic, but they achieve this in slightly different ways. The most recognized difference is that Shibari gains its erotic nature through the actual beauty of the rope and the study behind it. It is much more about the aesthetic of the rope than the functionality of the bindings. The rope can be synthetic and colored though normal it is uncolored and natural. It is slightly thinner than the rope used in Kinbaku.
Kinbaku gains its erotica more through the functionality of the intricate knots than their appearance. It uses thicker rope, and it uses jute rope, which is a natural fibre. Kinbaku is much more about restraint than appearance and is considered to be more erotic and sexual than Shibari.
Fusion bondage is the modern Western product that incorporates the Japanese forms of Shibari and Kinbaku. It is one of the most varied forms but also the most common in the West. It borrows aspects of the original two forms, but adds aspects like colored and synthetic rope. Fusion bondage does not have the confines that the traditional forms have and is considered to be more a free form of bondage.
Both Kinbaku and Shibari can be practiced by men or women on men or women. The person who has studied the form and ties the knots is known as a rigger. There are several well-known riggers in both the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. One that particularly caught my eye name is Lee Harrington, who is trans sexuality and spiritual educator. He explains that Shibari for him is all about the study and knowledge that goes into the ropework. He derives his pleasure from the ropes aesthetic instead of the body of the person he is using the rope on.
We have spent a lot of time in class trying to define what sex is and where fetishes fit into that definition, which is what lead me to researching this topic. I find it interesting that both forms are considered erotic and can give the participants sexual pleasure, without anything we would consider traditional sex being involved (no genitalia). From what I understand, a rigger and their participant do not have to have any sexual attraction to one another in order to derive pleasure from the act, although I would image that sexual attraction to one another would enhance these feeling. It is more the rope and the knots that give the pleasure and sexual satisfaction to those involved, which further muddies the waters of a clear sex definition.
For some, their ropework defines who they are and lets them break free from the constraints put on them by sexual identities. For instance, a straight male rigger who derives his pleasure from the actual ropework would have no problem tying up a man. We talked in class how some people's sexual identity is not the main priority when fetishes are involved. A person might identify as a rigger instead of a lesbian for example.
If you are interested in the actual knots involved and how to tie them, here is a link.

Pull the Wool Over Your Eyes
February 27, 2020 by Jodi Whisenhunt
Filed under Humor, Stories
By Jodi Whisenhunt –
I relieved the nursery caregiver during the children's naptime. For a few minutes, I rocked beside a little girl asleep on her mat. I glanced down to see one little eye peeking up at me. The other opened, and together they blinked away dazed confusion.
I smiled and kept rocking. The little girl's eyelids heavied. She pulled her blanket up over her eyes, and returned to peaceful slumber.
I've done that before. I've believed, "If I can't see the monster, it's not really there!" And I have closed my mind to scary possibilities, believing if I shut my eyes and squeeze them tight, the danger disappears.
If I can't see the monster, it's not really there!
Obviously, in real danger, that way of thinking doesn't work, but when it comes to writing for publication, it's a downright good idea. Many times I've been on a roll, writing pages and pages and pages, when into my subconscious creeps a great big, ugly monster: Fear. Fear of rejection. Fear of acceptance. Fear of insignificance. Fear of importance. A dichotomy of desire and doubt that halts my progress and tempts me to hit DELETE.
Fear. In its grasp, a victim is paralyzed, bound by deception, held captive by miscues. Fear prohibits success.
So I close my eyes to the monster. Because you know what? It's not really there! Fear is a perception. It's an emotion. It's a deceiver. It's Satan's trick to prevent me from accomplishing God's goals. If I let fear scare me into quitting, I will make no impact on the world at all. I will not "go into all the world and make disciples" with my writing. I will not be a "good and faithful servant." I will be serving the wrong master.
Next time that big, ugly Fear monster creeps up on you, do what I do. Go ahead and pull the wool up over your eyes!
Remember these words of the Lord and know there is nothing to fear:
I took you from the ends of the earth,
from its farthest corners I called you.
I said, 'You are my servant';
I have chosen you and have not rejected you.
So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
All who rage against you
will surely be ashamed and disgraced;
those who oppose you
will be as nothing and perish (Isaiah 41:9-11, NIV).

I have totally and completely lost all respect for my favourite band, We the Kings. Why? Because they took a public political stance.
It doesn't matter if I agree or disagree with them, what matters is that someone with that much power should not be talking politics. There are way too many feeble-minded followers who will do whatever these people say.
Take Katy Perry during the election. She was openly campaigning for her candidate. I had a friend who voted that way simply because "Katy said so." This friend didn't know what the platforms were she was voting for, nor did she care. She just wanted to be like Katy Perry.
No, I won't tell you who I voted for, nor will I tell you how I feel on any given political topic. I will let you decide things for yourself. The way America should be. Free-thinking instead of feeble-minded followers.
I'm listening to We the Kings right now and I can't seem to enjoy it as much. Maybe time to find a new favourite? We'll see.

I hate that question with a passion. I've never been very good at, nor comfortable telling people about me. So I'll do the best I can.
I'm a teacher, I'm a novelist, I'm a screenwriter and filmmaker, and occasionally, when I'm feeling particularly euphoric, I'm also a blogger. Let's just face it, I'm a glutton for punishment.
Teacher? Seriously? Growing up, I never thought it was a path for me. Then adult life happened and everybody needs a stable job right?
Novelist? Talk about trying to climb a wall and to the right of you, you have fabulous people with pristine escalators taking them up and over that wall, and here you are, trying to climb it with your bare hands, the wall is exposed bricks and jagged concrete, and someone's gone and doused it with a ton of slick oil. So, in other words, I'm still at it.
Want to read my novels? You can find me on Wattpad under my name. Eva Acharya. If you are inclined to read indies, then welcome. I hope you enjoy them.
Screenwriter and Filmmaker? Boy do I really know how to pick a career, or do I know how to pick a career. The reason I'm calling this a career, is because this is what I'd really like to be earning living doing. I'm been at it for a while now and making tinny-tiny dents in the fabric. One day! One day, you might see something I've written… I'm praying for it (as well as working towards it).
And lastly, that blogging thing. Its been hard to get a hold of. I'm not inclined to talk about me so easily. I could talk your ear off with the projects I'm working on, but not me… But this blog is my effort to put more of myself out there. So here I am. What you'll see/read is 100% me and my thoughts. The good, the bad and the terribly ugly, and I welcome you.
Thanks for stopping by, and for being curious about me. It's something. For me.
Here's to what's left of 2019 and to working towards out own dreams, whatever they may be.

To the Best of My Knowledge, High Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs, the great Kalabari Hero is one of the finest leaders in the history of Nigeria and doubles as one of the greatest philalantropist in Nigeria.
Indeed High Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs has impacted greatly in every family in Rivers State, directly and indirectly via his youth Foundation called DYF23 which has members across the 23 Local Government Areas of Rivers State.
As a youth who learns under his mentorship, am mightily inspired by his supreme humility, kindness, simplicity and enormous love towards every Rivers Youth that comes his way. Through DYF23, countless youths have been given financial donations for academic support, his annual free JAMB forms for over five hundred young persons across the state remains the highest in Rivers State and Nigeria as a whole. He funds WAEC registrations and Post UTME registrations for many other young people annually. He puts food on the table of many families through the employment he gives in his numerous companies. He pays the medical bills of countless young and old persons, without recourse to creed or clime.
Through his youths foundation the DYF23, he carries out leadership trainings for young and aspiring leaders, he holds public siminars, vocational trainings such as sewing and tailoring, I. T, pest and fumigation control training etc.
Without a doubt, there are many good men, leaders and mentors out there, but High Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs stands out amongst them and like myself, there are countless young people who are inspired daily by his humble, open-hearted and peace loving nature. He has thought me to love all tribes and languages; serve with sincerity, transparency, honesty and Godliness. According to him:
"In all we do, we must place the people first before ourselves, as this is the only way we can build a society where there will be equal opportunity for all just as we expect responsibility from all".
God bless High Chief Dumo Lulu Briggs. What a great leader we have in Rivers State, Nigeria.

Waking up the morning isn't fun. Most of the time anyway. And we're not really thinking about new morning routine ideas. We're just trying to get our eyes open and then figure out how to get from our bed to our work in the easy, quickest and laziest way possible.
So let's give some structure to your morning to see how you can get the most out of your day and create a healthy morning routine. And hopefully, by doing so, you'll notice how much better you feel and how much more confidence you will have into the day ahead.
Start your morning routine with a stretch
This comes naturally to most of us anyway, but try to get a good stretch in. Stretch out as far as you can, make it a challenge to cover the full bed if you can stretch hard enough. By stretching out, you can loosen your muscles and ligaments up, and kick start your body into pumping more blood where it matters most.
Opening up your body to the world can have a positive effect on your mental health. You're embracing the day and not closing off your body by staying curled up in bed. Plus, it's actually really easy to do.
Turn on the lights
It can be difficult, more so if you sleep with someone in the same bed, or get ready for the day in the same room as you may not want to wake them. Unfortunately, by not getting as much light in the room as possible, you're gonna feel extra groggy.
Try to get as much natural light right away if you can too. Turn on all the lights as well. This will help you adjust your internal clock, as it's all triggered by light. By staying in the dark, this gives your body a signal to say that it's still night sleepy time. So no wonder you feel terrible.
Drinking water
This is one of the easiest morning routine ideas. Before doing anything else next, grab yourself a few glasses of water, or huge glass. Feel free to just stick your head under the tap if you really want. Whatever way you choose, try to get as much water in your body as you can, as soon as you wake.
Your body has been shut down for a long time, and hopefully around 8 hours. So you're definitely dehydrated, more so if your bedroom is quite hot. This helps you wake up naturally, without having to use coffee. It may also help by kick-starting your metabolism too.
If you're really up for it, you can drop in some fresh lemon or lime too. These things are full of awesome vitamins and minerals to keep your body in top shape. This can be a strange one for some people, but do it a few times and you'll soon start to crave it. Make sure it's fresh lemon or lime too, not stuff that's preserved or full of sugar.
Make your bed
It may seem a little over-hyped, but the nuance of making your bed before anything else can change your mentality towards the day. Once your bed is made, and it really only takes a moment or two, is your first task of the day completed.
This can start a chain of events through the day to get more stuff done. Some consider this as a keystone habit, one that holds everything else in place and is one of the most underrated daily habits. You start the day completing something that no one else will ever really see, but you're doing it for yourself. And how much nicer does a made bed look.
Don't hit that snooze
Whoever invented the snooze is a savage. This thing just shouldn't be allowed. It may feel like a good idea at first to hit the button for another 15 mins, yet it has a negative effect. Think back to the last time you woke up consistently straight away compared to hitting the snooze button. Snoozing is not one of the best morning routine ideas.
It's a very different state of mind, and it does take work, will power and consistency. The crazy thing is, when you do snooze, you then fall into the trap of stressing about having enough time to get ready in the morning for work.
Starting the day with anxiety just because you hit the snooze is avoidable. Why not try and save anxiety for all the other madness in your life. So, how did you feel last time you snoozed instead of getting up right away?

· New room arrangement: clipboards available to replace the tables which were taken out. Nameplates were replaced to be uniform.
· Lisa Williams was elected to the open board position at the Jan 15th working meeting.
· Cincinnati Fire Department Report (James Jasper, CFD station 31):
o January #'s: 172 responses- majority are medical related. 8 fire related runs.
o Electrical safety: be careful with appliances to check for frayed/cracked cords, or anything loose. Only use extension cords on a temporary basis. Install receptacle covers on outlets in homes with small children. Don't overload circuits. Follow manufacturer's instructions for new appliances. If a circuit keeps tripping, have an electrician check it out. Careful with lamp placements (lamps to close to a curtain, lamp with a bulb that's too strong). If you are a renter, your landlord is required to have a working fire alarm installed. Have a working co2 detector.
o T-shirt design is still being worked on.
· District 2 Police Report (Officer Al Brown):
o Oakley and Hyde Park have a large problem with thefts from autos. Residents need to ensure cars are being locked. CPD is working to get resources to identify hot spots and add plain clothes officers.
o Part 1 (more serious) crimes have increased: Burglary on Atlantic with a door kicked in; aggravated robbery w/ pedestrian robbed at gunpoint; aggravated robbery at 5/3 bank on Madison; rape report on 1/18
o Crime stats are available online w http://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/police/crime-statistics/
o Oakley crime stats may look high due to Center of Cincinnati and Hyde Park Plaza crimes included.
o Question: How to get Citizens on Patrol restarted and refunded? Officer Brown will look into steps to restart.
o District 2 is willing to help with the flag pole installation.
· CRC Report (Ellen Brewster):
o Daddy Daughter dance Feb 15th is sold out.
o Summer day camp priority signup was last week - 66 kids already for 120 spaces. Open registration started yesterday. 11 week program.
o Aquatic center construction starts Aug 1 this year - pool will close 10 days early. Ceremony to drain the pool.
o Mike Bonomo and Dave Schaff are looking for volunteers to work on supporting the recreation facilities in Oakley. The pool was part of the master plan. There is momentum to renovate or rebuild the Rec Center as part of the master plan. OCC will wait for a permanent director to lobby to replace the rec center. It is the city's smallest and most other centers have been renovated within the last 20 years.
o CRC has an independent board from city council who provides funding, but the commission needs to buy in.
· Flagpole Update (Dave Schaff)
o Oakley has 2 large poles via donation. The OCC would like to erect one on the esplanade, and would like police and fire help with installation and unveiling (target Memorial day). Other location to erect the pole is still tbd. Still many steps to be completed – permits, park board contact. Plan to install lighting so that the flag can stay up at night. A local cub scout pack would like to help.
· Recto Molded Products
o Property purchased at corner of Appleton/Robertson, formerly a roofing distributor. Begun primary work of new location: approx 9,000 sq feet. 2 buildings, new building will connect to current property. Exterior will be gray "split block" and metal. Building will be used as warehouse space; currently own building across the street which has clients. Building was originally a lumberyard.
o Going to the city in the next 2-3 weeks for the permitting process.
o No new employees to be added
o No parking has to be installed, but they are adding some parking
· Treasurer's Report (Mike Bonomo)
o 1 transaction in the general account to pay for OCC insurance, which is additional insurance that the city requires for us to get NSP/NBD funds. Membership check from last month was deposited today.
o Balance is approx $14,000
o $2400 in OAH account
o Oakley Pay Pal account approx $5400. Expenses from DD Dance not removed yet. Last year it was about $1500, and this year looks to be about the same.
o Treasurer's report was approved unamimously.
o NSP/NBD amendments have to be made by next month. Will work with the Chamber to establish some beautification ideas before the deadline.
Committee Reports:
· Community Outreach: Brian is going to take over to clean up Oakley Events. Kroger carts rounded up from all over Oakley - trying to work with Kroger on that to be more proactive. Need to work with Buckingham about the construction debris near ridge and Cardiff. Streets are a mess.
· Communications: January meeting minutes approved at our mid-month meeting and posted online so that things are approved and publicized on a timelier basis.
· Membership: 11 new members. Looking for software solutions to solve membership; will be discussed on Feb 19. Looking for feedback about membership to help improve and increase overall members. Looking at doing a membership packet for new Oakley Residents
· Oakley After Hours: 2/12 OAH planning meeting; 3rd Thursdays at 6 pm in basement of OPG for a standing OAH meeting.
· Zoning: Two zoning issues.
o Sean and Chris attended public meeting re: Madison Rd where the avocado salon used to be. Variance on setback from the street due to a utility post with a transformer. No concerns from board for that. There is a 3 story building going in there - plans have just been filed. There are going to be concerns about parking - call is in to the city about the parking issue.
o Tire Discounter looking for a conditional use permit at corner of Marburg and Alamo. Vandercar did not present to the Community council - meeting is Weds 2/4 at 11 am. Emergency meeting 1/29 with Tire Discounters, Vandercarr, Board and some residents. Zoning issue to use that building for auto. We reported to the city that we had the meeting that the conditional permit was opposed by residents; the Board took no position on it. Belief that this is likely to get passed; the land needs to be developed and Tire Discounters is willing to build, but concerns about impact on residents. Follow up phone call with TD, if this goes through, we need to work to ensure good benefits for the residents. They are willing to be on board for that if it gets to that point. They also agreed to maintain. We also requested a "welcome to Oakley" sign on that property as part of that being a gateway to the neighborhood. Meeting is at centennial 2 at 11 am.
o Frustration from board members and the trustees about the lack of notification, and worries about the future of the plan development for Oakley Station.
· Traffic/Safety/Pedestrians: David Mann's chief of staff mentioned that the intersection at Isabella/Madison has become an issue at city hall.
· Hyde Park School Liaison: HPS was ranked as the highest elementary school in the state of Ohio for the Performance Index - out of 3,400 schools. The Principal won a distinguished "Cincinnatus" Award for outstanding educator in the city. Registration is ongoing for kindergarten next year.
New Business:
· Board meeting Feb 19th at OPG as a working meeting for stuff we discussed tonight
· MadTree is official drink of Oakley.
Speaker Cards:
· Laura: Vacant House for 8.5 years on 33rd ave. What to do about it? Property is attracting people who don't live there.
· Grace Christian Fellowship: Church in the community for about 2 years, retired from the city. Very community oriented, aimed at families and children, working with international ministries. They would like to help the OCC in any way. They also offer karate classes. Looking to put on events on Oakley Square. 2960 Madison road, across from 20th C. Theatre. www.gracechristianfellowship.com, also on facebook
Motion to adjourn meeting is seconded and approved. Meeting ends.

There is always a row to hoe.
Always a weed to pull.
Always some gloves to wear to get it done.

he that thrusters in his sickle with all his might, the same layeth up in store
that he perished not, but bringeth salvation to his soul;"

What wonderful missionaries we serve with!
After each conference opening President took time to introduce the theme.
"Let every man learn his duty that he may stand blameless before God."
Three spirit-boosting things to focus on this transfer:
1-Listen to only sacred music this transfer, but do listen every day.
2-Write a meaningful testimony and send it to your family.
3-Pray nightly as a companionship.
Samples from our conferences.
We are sorry there are not more pictures!
There will never be enough pictures.

What is your favorite species of frog to keep and why? Tell us the pros and cons that you have figured out while keeping it. I think this could ignite some great discussion!
Kaloula pulchra is the specie I've kept the longest and I find them very eays to keep, but I haven't tried to mate them. They are hardy eaters and prefer small and bountyful prey, like small crickets, runners, etc. They dig but can climb as well, but not like tree frogs.
I have a lot of favorite species, but for keeping, I'm going to vote for the good ol' American toad. Not very exotic or rare, I know, but they are easy to keep, eat great, have loads of personality, and are actually more polymorphic than most people seem to realize.
It's a toss up for me between phylobates terribilis and litoria caerulea. They're both crowd pleasers in their own unique way.
As for fun frogs... Trachycephalus nigromaculatus, Black-spotted casque-headed treefrogs. I have 3 and call them my monkeys. They eat like crazy, jump at anything that moves and tries to get it into their enormous mouthes, even if it's just a piece of dirt or one of their own. Thankfully they are all pretty much the same size. They jump like crazy, holding themselves into place with just a back toe, looking for stuff. They climb onto the glass and looks at you, just like they want to know what is going on. When I feed them, they also want to come out just for fun. I have little boxes attached to the sides of their enclosure withnwater and moss because they like to sleep in them... lets just call it fake bromeliads... doesn't look like bromeliads but serves the same purpos.
It turns out, one is a male, the biggest one, and he has started calling. He looks very funny, like he is blowing bubble gum out of his cheeks.
Crazy frogs, my monkies, always a laugh, and pretty too!
My favorite to own in order
1 American Toad/Northern Leopard Frog
2 Gray Tree Frog/ Whites Tree Frog
My favorite Amphibian is the American Toad and I like tree frogs mostly they are where I am more experienced at and I'm the most passionate about. My favorite frog is the Northern Leopard Frog but all of the 4 species are very fun, interesting and unique in their own way. I'll be doing care sheets on them all.
My favorite frogs I wish I owned or hope to someday
1 Fowler's Toad
2 Wood Frog
3 Tomato Frog
4 Eastern Spadefoot

Two thumbs up for the clawed frogs!

If we can discover the meaning in the trilling of a frog, perhaps we may understand why it is for us not merely noise but a song of poetry and emotion.

Ricochet toward the end
My boss tells me this school closed in the 1970s; the Texas State Historical Association concurs, saying the school was operational until 1978.
My traveling companion for the day spotted an un-boarded door around back, which gave us a nice view down the hallway.
Light and history and inertia all headed toward the same ending.

Oh….I love this! We have some derelict buildings in our neck of the woods, but you must brave ticks and lyme (a very real threat — I got a tick and subsequently lyme on one of my photography hunts) and once you get to the buildings there is nothing spectacular inside…just someone's garbage that they didn't take to the dumb, possibly several months worth.

ResellerClub unveils their New Logo and Brand Positioning
04 Jun, 2013, 14:30 BST
NEW YORK, June 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Web Domains and Hosting provider, ResellerClub, unveiled their new corporate logo last week. The new logo reflects the company's vision - providing its resellers with a comprehensive suite of cutting edge products that they can use to kickstart and consolidate their businesses through a single robust platform.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130522/614177 )
While the new logo maintains the familiarity of the old identity that their clients are acquainted with, its duo-tone shading with contemporary colours turquoise blue and metallic grey symbolizes the evolving relationship between ResellerClub and its clients - from a provider-reseller one to that of a business partner sharing trust and reliability.
"Over the past decade, we have grown and moved beyond being a domain registrar to gradually expanding our product offering to include Shared Hosting, Reseller Hosting and VPS. Our resellers have always wanted a single platform to manage their hosting business from and this year we will be able to offer them a truly comprehensive portfolio with products such as Dedicated Servers and Enterprise Email in the pipeline." said Shridhar Luthria, General Manager & Business Head of ResellerClub. "In addition to providing the reseller with robust end-to-end business solutions that power his reseller business, we wanted to make our products simple for the reseller to use. Our new logo is a reflection of this philosophy and the same applies to our approach to design as well", added Shridhar.
Along with the new logo, the company has also changed a number of visual elements on their website http://www.resellerclub.com/ to incorporate the new brand identity. The new website as well as the logo have a clean, crisp and minimalistic design that symbolizes the brand's contemporary outlook keeping in mind modern day business needs, coupled with the reliability, security and trust offered by a leading Web Host.

White Bear Lake SEO Explained
Search Engine Optimization is likewise known as SEO. Google, Yahoo and Bing, as well as all other search engines display search results they consider to be relevant for the queries of their users. The procedure is free, and in that accord, web owners are tasked with aligning their stuff to increase their websites recognition. The result of proper SEO is an increase in the quantity and the quality of organic search traffic.
Look at SEO as a large banner that you view every day as you head into town in White Bear Lake. If you see it advertising a sale in a clothing store, visit that store, and possibly try some new brands, thus contributing to the growth of the store. This is the very same principle with SEO. People searching online for a specific topic or information will be interested in a company that keeps on getting displayed on their search page.
Search engines have a mechanism that collects information from the web and uses an algorithm to rank it. The optimization process includes editing titles and meta descriptions. A large number of people rely on the internet daily, and firms are always tweaking their websites to make use of SEO. Listed here are just some of the reasons why both small and big businesses should invest in the process of SEO.
1. SEO is an Investment, Not an item of Expenditure.
A huge step for all entrepreneurs is looking at SEO as an investment and not a form of spending. Investments generate profits, while costs reduce them. As making a website is extremely easy today, skeptics tend to consider SEO as a hoax. However, it is vital to keep in mind that the role of SEO is to drive traffic to your firm.
Consider how you search the internet, are you going to choose a restaurant in White Bear Lake that is located on the first page or the fifth page? And always remember that for a business to remain profitable, investments need to be made.
Premier SEO professionals are not entirely dedicated to attaining the best ranks but also enhance your site's functionality. There are many issues that need to be dealt with when considering a website including coding and hosting.
2. SEO Is A Cost Effective Solution
There have been articles published in Forbes magazine that have shown that SEO is a much cheaper form of online marketing as opposed to PPC and social media advertising. This is understandable considering that SEO is meant to be an organic form as opposed to the type that you are tossing money into.
Lots of internet users are exposed to advertisements even when they don't need to products and services that get advertised, which means the high cost of such strategies. SEO has a relatively higher ROI than other strategies.
With SEO, a startup in State can enjoy a flow of high quality leads without having to pay for printing brochures or advertising on billboards or in magazines. With the web, new establishments in State have a greater chance for becoming popular among consumers.
3. White Bear Lake Consumers Are Changing
A functional website isn't enough to bring new customers to a business. It is possible to gain an online presence if you have a deep advertising budget, however, SEO is going to ensure that your online content is getting to the searches it is designed for. When you have a convincing and informative website, your prospective visitors are more prone to becoming paying customers.
SEo not only ranks web pages, it helps to create incredible copy that is going to resonant with your visitors. As more visitors of your website convert to paying customers, your business will gain popularity and generate trust among these people. Keep in mind that telling lies may affect your online reputation. Negative reviews are something you don't need, as they can harm your business quite badly.
4. SEO Builds Credibility
Customers tend to trust more those businesses that rank among the top search results in their industries. Typically, people are going to find trust in brands they see online and that can be easily researched. The customer will focus on the high ranked business instead of looking at the paid ads.
When your customers can find out relevant details about you, it's going to be easier to build trust.It is also important that paid advertisements require constant cash, whereas search engine rankings just need to be maintained. This means search engine users know they can always find your website again for further reference.
5. SEO Is A Valuable Asset
Using an SEO service is going to help grow your site over time. This implies that it goes on generating traffic to the website as time goes. While paid strategies could land you on the top page, the advertisements go away as soon as you stop paying for them. On the contrary, organic search results continue to exist, being, therefore, a solid long-term investment.
6. More Mobile Searches Than Ever Before
Mobile phones have become the device of choice of millions of internet searchers. You can easily understand why, taking into consideration smartphones are convenient and easy to carry. Cell phone users rely on natural search results as opposed to ads. This is a consequence of the fact that organic results cater to specific users, being therefore more likely to suit their needs. Firms that appreciate the significance of cellular devices should concentrate on SEO.
The use of smartphones and tablets is tightly linked to the rise of social media platforms. It is not surprising to see full conversations about businesses on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. When a user is searching for a solution to their problem, it is necessary that you are there right at the top of the page. By offering credible information, you can rest assured these people will share your content with friends.
7. SEO is Key For Small Businesses
It is easy to overlook SEO when you run a small local business. However, a large number of small businesses can easily gain a lot from SEO, as so many consumers are looking for local solutions. For instance, a new person in town trying to find a restaurant to have lunch in will check the internet to find a famous eatery in the area that serves their best dish. Any business on top of the search may reap the benefits of such searches. Consider the fact that people often review businesses after they have found them online is just an added benefit.
Three's a lot to gain for small businesses in White Bear Lake, as this is an easy way to obtain recommendations and favorable ratings from their local customers. If you are afraid that SEO is a waste of time and money, consider how many people move into your city on a yearly basis, all looking for something.
8. SEO Agencies Provide Invaluable Insight
SEO is going to be able to provide you traffic that you can track through Google Analytics. The information is important since it gives you a better picture of the consumer behaviors; How they use the internet, how they search for things, the languages they utilize, their locations, the number of times they use the web and the hours of the day which they mostly use the net. Each of these information bits can help a smart business owner develop strategic plans that can bring them both short term and long term profits.
9. Your Competitors Are Doing It
SEO doesn't stop the very moment you reach top ranks in search for your targeted keywords. You also need to monitor these rankings, in order to make sure they stick. The bare fact is that once a single business disregards SEO, others will attain the top rankings, which indicates that they also acknowledge the significance of SEO. When a business gives up taking care of its website, it leaves money on the table by not taking advantage of its potential customers.
10. SEO Is Here To Stay
It is just the face of the times that more people are online than ever before. Their hectic life and busy schedules don't prevent them from using the internet as a source of information, learning and entertainment, and sometimes as a business place. This implies that the dependency on print media and TV is going down. If you invest in SEO now, you are setting yourself up for the future.
11. Outrank The Top Dogs
In the past, it was hard for a small business in White Bear Lake to compete with the big guys. SEO is the number one way to compete with a much smaller budget. A huge corporation may disregard the significance of SEO, which implies that small firms can take advantage of the opportunity to be the best alternatives in that particular niche. In the long run, trust is built, and prospects become seasoned clients.
12. The Best Employee
As soon as your website gets created and updated by an SEO expert, it will keep on generating traffic 24/7, all year round, even during bank holidays. SEO is never going to get sick or leave on a very short notice. It is a valuable tool for all kinds of firms and affects the savings the moment the site is checked out by prospective customers.
13. SEO Encourages Social Sharing
When a user shares something on social media it is going to directly help the SEO efforts by using the same title and meta descriptions. An SEO agency can help you make the most out of your social media activity by analyzing your readers and by adjusting title tags and meta descriptions accordingly.
14. You Can Outsource SEO
You may not want to have a permanent employee to handle your SEO. Luckily, there are many SEO agencies and experts out there, able to provide you such services, and generate organic traffic for your website.
Outsourcing is usually less expensive than an in-house SEO expert, and it can provide a much better outcome.
The thing to remember about outsourcing is it is going to allow you the opportunity to focus on your business while the agency tends to your website and helps it grow and rank, while staying within a budget.

Timoney in Broadway's Network.
Bill Timoney '80 came to Seton Hall University determined to pursue his passion for acting. Long before the launch of the College of Communication and the Arts had a theatre major, Timoney earned a communication degree, which at the time encompassed the areas of film, theatre and journalism. Four decades years later, the New Jersey native has starred in numerous Broadway and Off-Broadway productions. The most current addition to his theatre portfolio was his role in the Tony Award-winning Broadway production of Network, starring actor Bryan Cranston, well-known for the television series, Breaking Bad.
Timoney's TV work includes appearances on Orange is the New Black, Malcolm in the Middle, Person of Interest, and the recurring role of Senator Royce on the hit SyFy Channel Series 12 Monkeys. Daytime TV fans knew Bill for his long-running role of "Alfred Vanderpool," the preppie nerd of All My Children (Timoney played Alfred on a recurring basis from 1982 thru 2007). As a voice actor, Timoney has been directed in films by Sidney Lumet, Frank Oz, Woody Allen, Al Pacino, Mel Gibson, Ron Howard, and many more. Timoney achieved a personal career high-point when he improvised an on-camera scene with Robert De Niro for filmmaker Martin Scorsese's eagerly anticipated feature film The Irishman (opening Fall 2019).
After years in the entertainment industry, Timoney has some insights on acting. "Our profession is mis-named. We should not be called "actors." Instead, we should be called "auditioners." Booking a job is the vacation; the work is the audition process. Understanding that process - learning how not to take rejection personally - is the absolutely single most important skill an actor must cultivate in order to survive and thrive in this business."
Many Seton Hall alumni have shared stories of professors and mentors who helped them follow their dreams. Timoney himself has a shining example crediting the launch of his student-turned-career to his professor, mentor and eventual friend, Professor-Emeritus James P. McGlone – or "Doc," to most who know him. "Doc led me to discover the rich history of the Theatre; his American Stage and Irish Stage courses were particularly thrilling."
Timoney (left) in Broadway's Network.
Guided by McGlone, Timoney continued on to complete his communication degree by taking on courses specific to his career interests, including American Stage, Shakespeare, and a variety of film classes. Taking advantage of Seton Hall's close proximity to New York City, Timoney commuted into Manhattan as often as possible – auditioning, taking on-camera acting classes and eventually landing roles in soap operas, films, and television commercials – all while earning his undergraduate degree.
His time in the city meant he "got to know casting directors [while] securing talent agency representation," the alumnus commented. Those experiences allowed him to have a wide understanding of the industry once he graduated college, which he used to propel his career forward.
"After I graduated, Dr. McGlone recommended me to The National Players, a touring theatre troupe that performed all over the eastern half of the United States for nine months. I played Claudio in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. Through the 100 shows we performed, I learned how to sustain a performance over an extended period of time – a skill I apply in my current role with Network." Network's production run closed in June after more than 200 performances. Timoney credits The National Players as the "launching pad" of his career, which "wouldn't have happened without Dr. McGlone's guidance."
Timoney has often returned to the South Orange campus since his graduation in 1980. At McGlone's invitation, Timoney staged combat choreography for student productions of Cyrano de Bergerac, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, as well as a summer theater production of I Hate Hamlet. Timoney also performed with McGlone's Celtic Theatre Company (CTC) – an Irish theatre troupe started by McGlone and housed at Seton Hall. It was during one of these CTC productions that Timoney met his future wife, Georgette Reilly '86.
The respect Timoney has for McGlone is one that is mutual. McGlone and Timoney are kindred spirits, both passionate about storytelling and the theatre. McGlone reminisces, "I have fond memories of Bill Timoney's sparkling performance as the Dauphin in The Lark, a play about Joan of Arc, and his mischievous portrayal of the aging Irish Chancer in John B. Keane's Many Young Men of Twenty. We spent many happy hours together rehearsing in the Theatre-in-the Round." McGlone went on to describe how the professor-student relationship grew over time, noting, "But that is only a small part of a friendship that succeeded his student days at Seton Hall. You see, Bill and I share a mutual passion for the world of the Playhouse, and his love of vigorous conversation has been one of the pleasures of my life."
Timoney supplements his acting career with employment in other aspects of the entertainment industry. He's worked as a director, producer, writer, screenplay analyst, stand-up comic, career consultant, and speechwriter. Timoney specializes in "dubbing" English language versions of Japanese animation - aka "anime." He's voiced numerous roles on the enduring TV cartoon show Pokemon. As a script-adapter and recording director of anime dubs, Bill has been able to hire dozens of fellow SHU and CTC alumni as voice actors.
Always exploring creative ways to tell a story and connect with audiences, Timoney's passion "comes from the satisfaction I derive from participating in the process of telling a good story… and telling it well," he noted.
Timoney imparted several words of wisdom for today's CommArts students:
1. Celebrity is an illusion. If you are chasing fame, then don't become an actor. The only reason to become an actor is if you are fascinated by the craft of it. Become an actor to become an actor, not to become a star.
2. Explore the world beyond the campus until after you graduate. Actively cultivate your own taste and judgement.
3. While on campus, seek to access all opportunities to act. Don't just wait for the next show to post auditions.
4. All the questions you'll be asking about the ABCs - the Art, the Business, and the Craft of Acting - have already been asked by the all the actors who've come before you. Read. Research.

Hey everyone! My name is Yael Steenman and I am the Secretary of the Board of ESN Groningen 2019/2020. I am 23 years old and I just finished my Bachelor's in Human Geography and Urban and Regional Planning at the RUG. My hobbies are: playing soccer, listen to Spotify and go to festivals. During my minor, I went on exchange to the United States. This was a semester I definitely did not want to miss, and learned a lot about myself and my home country: the Netherlands. I am very excited for all the activities that we will organise this upcoming year. I hope this year will be an epic year and I hope to meet many of you 🙂
Function description
The Secretary function is a position with many clear tasks. I am responsible for the minutes, newsletter, sending out invitations, and being the main contact person for questions from international students. Furthermore, I am responsible for the privacy policy of ESN and work together with the educational institutes and the municipality on the housing issue in Groningen. But besides that, my position contains many more things. Besides that, I have two awesome committees to lead, the Sports Committee and the SocialErasmus Committee.
Another thing in your function as a board member is organising the Introduction Week. I am responsible for recruiting all the ESN Crew Members and Introduction Guides who make this week a great success. Next to that, I am the organizer of the legendary Pub Crawl at the start of the Introduction Week, and am responsible for maintaining good relations with all pubs in Groningen.
I'm looking forward to working together with my five other board members this year and dedicate my whole academic year to ESN Groningen. ESN is a great international organisation and we offer all kinds of activities, so I'm convinced everyone can find their place in ESN.
Feel free to send me an email when you have any questions; firstname.lastname@example.com

I have been thinking about space the last few days and of infinity. I can get my head around it alright, even though the concept of endlessness is amazing.
The first time that I ever attempted to understand what it was all about, was many years ago when I visually put all of the universes in a box and then realized ok so what is on the outside of the box - more space was/is the answer.
The Large Hadron Collider has done some real business recently by colliding lead ions together or rather head on, at almost the colossal speed of light and in doing so the impact manifested temperatures a million times hotter than the centre of the Sun. I wonder just how they dispersed the heat energy. Answers on a postcard please.
I have been having problems with a small space my self just recently. It all started when I was up in the loft and noticed a small cloud of smoke drifting upwards to the skylight. Now it is quite a common sight to see smoke up there, for I do enjoy a few puffs on my pipe while sitting quietly on a bench and musing on what to do next. This particular time although the pipe was in my pocket the lighter was not.
Not my smoke, this was coming from the chimney breast. I removed the fire from the stove & made a phone call. My builder returned in rapid time and rendered the brickwork.
The following evening I re-lit the stove and smoke started to enter the ground floor rooms, again I took out the fire & phoned himself. We spent the rest of the evening stripping out the alcove press (cupboard) that adjoins the chimney breast. This revealed a series small sooty cracks and soot stained walls, the same procedure as before was followed and this time we were totally successful.
All I have to do now is rebuild the shelving that I had hastily removed and emulsion the walls. There is a slight problem caused by two pipes that go across the bottom part of the press making access difficult. And I am so glad that I started off my working life in the confined spaces of yachts and small ships. So re-building the press is rather like going back in time for me.
These days in Ireland you never know who you will find in a press.For recently our former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern made for himself a pile by doing a commercial for the Irish News Of The World. He is the actor who says "I never thought that I'd end up here"
see: www.irishcentral.com/story/roots/emeraldextracts/former-irish-leader-bertie-ahern-hides-in-a-cupboard-in-new-tv-ad-104306589.html
So following in Bertie's footsteps or better still my version of Sylvester Stallone in the 1970 film 'No Place To Hide' which I have renamed 'Dammit You Have Found Me ! '

Faith Young, owner of Door 2 Door Recycling, opened her self-described mom and pop recycling company with her husband, Marquette Young, in 2013 to help fill a need in her Rankin County community.
"We started out in Castlewood because there was a void of no curbside recycling service available there," Young says. "Later around January 2017, we picked up Madison County when waste management services pulled out recycling from there, and by July (2019) we expanded."
Door 2 Door Recycling is a Pearl-based, full-service recycling company, which means it collects and recycles paper, cardboard, plastic, aluminum, steel and glass. The Youngs only offer curbside collection services for neighborhoods once every other week, and pickup slots are limited. Door 2 Door provides separate containers for each customer for each type of material they collect.
Glass pickup takes place once per month, and glass items must be clean and ready to process and store before pickup, Young says. The company must process and store glass and can only ship 40,000 pounds at a minimum. Door 2 Door provides glass pickup in Oxford and the Jackson metro area, and offers a pay-as-you-go service for those who don't have glass pickup.
"We're looking to make a difference in small areas," Young says. "Our biggest passion is helping to save energy on behalf of other people, even if it's just a small amount. Small things can make a big difference in the community we live in. That is what we teach our kids, and that is who we are."
On Friday, Nov. 15, they will partner with the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, Keep Mississippi Beautiful and the Mississippi "Magnolia" Chapter of the Solid Waste Association of North America to host a glass-recycling event at the Mississippi Farmers Market (929 High St.) in Jackson in honor of America Recycles Day. MDEQ will also hold an electronics waste collection event at the site on the same day.
"Recycling is something that has to be a passion, because there's not a lot of money to be made in doing it," Young says. "It has to be something you believe in and that you want to teach other people the value and importance of."
Young grew up in Franklin, Tenn., and graduated from Franklin High School in 1994. She moved to Pearl in 2009. She and her husband have four children.
For more information on the America Recycles Day event, call Door 2 Door Recycling at 1-888-564-7764 or MDEQ at 601-961-5171.

Thank you for all you do!
Thank you for all of your work to protect and strengthen our democracy!
Many thanks to the army of committed volunteers who helped pass redistricting reform in Ohio! You collected enough signatures on the Fair Districts = Fair Elections ballot initiative to force legislators to the table. And then when Issue 1 went to the ballot in May, you worked hard to make sure it would pass overwhelmingly all across the state. We won by 75% of the vote. And we won in all 88 counties!
Thanks also to the hard core dedicated volunteers who spent hours, days, weeks and months in the Columbus office scanning petitions, validating signatures, and contacting voters. Without you, we won't have had the metrics to highlight the strong support for ending gerrymandering.
Hats off to the volunteers who joined our November Election Protection program and assisted voters at polling places all across Ohio.
Thank you to those who joined in the conversation and attended screenings of "Dark Money" or other presentations across the state.
We really appreciate the folks who spoke to the press, submitted written testimony, or attended a hearing to try to stop the ballot-initiative busting House Joint Resolution 19.
And thanks to all of you who are, like us, gearing up the fights ahead to make government accountable, protect voters and elections, and rid our system of the corrupting influence of dark money. Common Cause and our allies will be working together as always, and relying on the dedication and tenacity of our valued volunteers.
For those in the central Ohio area, please join us at a holiday gathering next week:
On Wednesday, December 12 from 4:30-6:30 pm at King Ave 5, 945 King Ave, Columbus, 43212. Light appetizers will be provided, with a cash bar. RSVP HERE!
Happy Holidays! We improved democracy for years to come in 2018. A great big thank you to you all!
12/26/2019 03:18:23 am
It was the great step of the people of the US who have successfully passed a referendum so as to strengthen the democracy. I think it would be great to see if the people of my country could do the same thing..

The apostle plainly outlined the attitude that believers should sustain toward the civil authorities: "Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well-doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: as free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king." 1 Peter 2:13-17.563The Acts of the Apostles, 522
We have men placed over us for rulers, and laws to govern the people. Were it not for these laws, the condition of the world would be worse than it is now. Some of these laws are good, others are bad. The bad have been increasing, and we are yet to be brought into strait places. But God will sustain His people in being firm and living up to the principles of His Word.564Testimonies for the Church 1:201
I saw that it is our duty in every case to obey the laws of our land, unless they conflict with the higher law which God spoke with an audible voice from Sinai, and afterward engraved on stone with His own finger. "I will put My laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to Me a people." He who has God's law written in the heart will obey God rather than men, and will sooner disobey all men than deviate in the least from the commandment of God. God's people, taught by the inspiration of truth, and led by a good conscience to live by every word of God, will take His law, written in their hearts, as the only authority which they can acknowledge or consent to obey. The wisdom and authority of the divine law are supreme.565Testimonies for the Church 1:361
The government under which Jesus lived was corrupt and oppressive; on every hand were crying abuses—extortion, intolerance, and grinding cruelty. Yet the Saviour attempted no civil reforms. He attacked no national abuses, nor condemned the national enemies. He did not interfere with the authority or administration of those in power. He who was our example kept aloof from earthly governments. Not because He was indifferent to the woes of men, but because the remedy did not lie in merely human and external measures. To be efficient, the cure must reach men individually, and must regenerate the heart.566The Desire of Ages, 509

I have been talking about the Chehalis Western Trail in my previous blogs. It is there where I meet interesting people and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
My favorite spot sit for a break.
This is the scenic view from the bench.
Ooddles of yellow water lilies flank this favorite spot.
Here is a fun picture where I caught a red-wing black bird in flight.
It looks like two red headlights!
What a treat; I got to enjoy four days in a row on the Chehalis Western Trail before the rains returned to our gorgeous green state of Washington.
And here is Ebony.......
