Set in the beautiful landscape of Moseley's private park in Birmingham the festival bring an eclectic weekend of music with a whole host of international and local artists.
Over the last 10 years and more the festival organisers have forged together their own eclectic mix of Jazz, Funk and Soul. Although the lineup sometimes strays outside these genres, they have never compromised with the quality of music on the bill. Mostly Jazz has become a true community event, where family and friends of all ages and background can get together.

My company previously had our event at Love Child. Definitely a cool and pop cultured venue. If there's one thing I can say about this place is the vibe. Our event was a success with the help of an awesome team. The venue accommodated over 140+ people comfortably. The natural light in the space gave it a really nice glow to the room during the day. Overall, amazing turn out.

Destructive Behavior, Judgment, and Economic Decision-making under Thermal Stress
, , , , , , , ,
NBER Working Paper No. 25785
Accumulating evidence indicates that environmental temperature substantially affects economic outcomes and violence, but the reasons for this linkage are not well understood. We systematically evaluate the effect of thermal stress on multiple dimensions of economic decisionmaking, judgment, and destructive behavior with 2,000 participants in Kenya and the US who were randomly assigned to different temperatures in a laboratory. We find that most dimensions of decision-making are unaffected by temperature. However, heat causes individuals to voluntarily destroy other participants' assets, with more pronounced effects during a period of heightened political conflict in Kenya.

I'm going to let you guys in on a little secret: ASDA is the place to find your beauty bargains. Yup, I know its a supermarket and the beauty selection is pretty limited but I found this foundation for about £4 when it was on special offer. Crazy! I've also picked up a few other bargains from their beauty isle too, including Revlon eyelashes and an Eco Tools brush set.. But for today I'm going to let you know about this Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation.
Personally I don't like a heavy base, I like a nice lightweight, light coverage foundation and then I like to go in with a concealer where I need it. I find this gives a much more natural finish than caking on a heavy foundation as it just doesn't sit well on my skin at all. I know this foundation is a pretty popular choice, especially amount YouTubers and fellow bloggers but when shopping around in the likes of Boots it never really took my fancy and even though its pretty inexpensive I always told myself I didn't need it. However, being the beauty hoarder that I am, when I saw it on offer for such a steal I threw it in the trolley and didn't look back! I'm so glad I did pick it up though as its quickly become one of my go to foundations.
The first thing that makes it particularly appealing to me is the shade, I picked up 010 Light Porcelain which is the perfect match for my snow white skin tone. Usually when it comes to drugstore foundations the colours are a little off and its rare I come across something pale enough to suit, especially at this time of year where my skin is even paler that usual. I kid you not though, this is the perfect match! They have an impressive amount of shades too, around 10 or 12 I think. I'm not sure about darker shades but for us pale girls its definitely a bonus. It has a light scent but its nothing offensive or too strong.
This foundation gives a lovely light coverage but it can definitely be built up to more medium coverage if you like. I like it because its build able but not at all cakey which is lovely. It has a semi-matte finish but it doesn't leave your skin looking dry or chalky, it has a luminosity to it which basically makes it look like a much better version of your own skin. Due to it not being overly wet or 'dewy' looking I find it sits really well with my combination skin type. It glides on beautifully over my drier areas and it copes well throughout the day on my oilier T-Zone. It makes your skin look pretty flawless and I find it keeps me looking radiant and fresh all day. I would say I can go about 5 hours + when wearing this before I have to powder which is really good for me! I think pretty much all skin types would be able to wear this!
Overall I love this and I find myself reaching for it on an almost daily basis! If you're in the market to try something new then you should definitely give this a whirl, especially if you're a fellow pale girl!
You can find it here at Boots or you might bag a bargain at your local ASDA like I did!

What is strange about Gemini love sign compatibility? Geminis are highly Creative, artists, easy going, learned, Individualistic and passionate lovers.
So long as Gemini's jabberwockies don't get out of hand there are tremendous possibilities for the Aries and the Gemini to form a truly loving & lasting relationship full of fun and excitement and this can be one of the best combinations. Their stimulating natures act as a tonic for the development of warmth and love. The couple hates boredom and possesses an inquisitive mind, thereby keeping each other amused. Exciting possibilities abound.
This relationship may not be the long lasting one. In terms of compatibility, the Taurus and Gemini have contrasting personality traits. The Gemini loves change and the Taurus will try to resist it. The rapidly changing nature of the Gemini will confuse and annoy the Taurus and they could find themselves heading in opposite directions. Further, their senses of timings are ill-matched. Taurus takes time as think time is on their side and Gemini uses it to change his or her mind too often.
This can be a good relationship initially as all the fun and good humour may be fine, but efforts will have to be made to provide the Cancer with the stability they need. The zodiac signs of Gemini and Cancer have very little in common with one another. Gemini's slightly superficial nature may prove hurtful to the sentimental Cancer. The Cancer will feel unsettled and insecure in this relationship if the Gemini cannot show some sign of commitment. Both will adapt to the other's style for this particular pairing to have any durability.
A Gemini individual will find much in common with a person born under the Leo zodiac sign. Both of them love to have fun, have an adventurous nature and enjoy life. They will find each other quite fascinating and love each other's company. The Lion is on the same intellectual level as the Gemini and this will make their conversions interesting as well as soul-satisfying. However, the varied interests of the latter may make a Leo jealous, as he wants to hold the primary importance in a relationship. Besides, both love to talk, and while Gemini is elaborating on an idea, Leo is elaborating on how an idea relates to him or her and just waiting to steal the entire conversation and steer it ego-ward. So, in terms of long-lasting affairs this is not a good match.
This is another talkative team but their conversations would be more compatible and more easily drawn to a conclusion. The Gemini will bring passion to the relationship and the Virgo can provide stability. So, there is every chance that these two could prove compatible. Their prospects for a healthy physical relationship are good although the Virgo can sometimes be a little short on passion.
This is a strong potential bet for a long term affair as both the Gemini and the Libra are likely to have very similar tastes and idea of a good time. This love match promises to be full of vitality and adventure. The only bug in this match could be Gemini's superficial nature and the short attention span on any one topic. But overall the prospects for a warm, loving and lasting relationship for this particular pairing are excellent.
Initially the compatibility between this pair could be very exciting but this pairing is not recommended for a long lasting relationship. The naturally flirtatious social style of the Gemini will stir up feelings of jealousy in the Scorpio and it will call for a lot of compromise and restraint on both sides for the relationship. Being totally opposite to one another in so many aspects of their personality, this is a difficult combination to recommend with any confidence.
The Gemini and the Sagittarius compatibility is a very promising one, if caution is exercised. The Gemini and the Sagittarius will find plenty of stimulation on an intellectual level. Sagittarius has a strong sense of independence which will not trouble the Gemini who also need to feel a certain amount of freedom to express themselves.
There may not be natural connection physically or emotionally with these two zodiac signs and the compatibility indications are poor for their long term prospects. The Gemini is a flirt by nature and this would be extremely worrying for the more emotional Capricorn who seek a loyal and faithful partner but they can get on together in business relationships.
Here's a happy match- there will be no shortage of passion or experimentation in their physical relationship, as both like to keep things new and interesting and there is every prospect of strong romantic bond between them. When they do hit different times they seem to have all the attributes between them to sort out and move on.
Initially there is a very good chance that they will each be fascinated by the other but it's no go in the long haul. Pisces has too much emotion and does need someone to provide emotional support and the Gemini is not an obvious candidate as he/she does not have the temperament to deal with these sort of issues because Gemini's try to use discussion and logic as a solution to Pisces' feelings of vulnerability. Thereafter, Gemini may go flitting off as a reaction to the Piscean's demands for more understanding.

Following the first eight races of the NASCAR Gander Outdoor Truck Series, two drivers have locked themselves into the post-season of the eight positions available. With six more spots up for grabs over the next eight events, the action promises to be full of excitement.
As we hit the halfway mark of the regular season, here is an idea of how things look thus far.
1. Johnny Sauter – Locked In, 1 Win
Returning home to ThorSport Racing was the perfect medicine for Johnny Sauter as he is already locked into the post-season with a victory at Dover International Speedway. He has also shown potential across the board with five top-10's in eight races.
He is projected to start the playoffs in second, four points behind Grant Enfinger.
2. Austin Hill – Locked In, 1 Win
Austin Hill wasted no time getting himself locked into the post-season by winning the season opener at Daytona International Speedway. Driving for the defending series champions, he has since posted four more top-10 finishes.
He is projected to start the playoffs in fourth, five points behind Enfinger.
3. Grant Enfinger +79
Although he has yet to reach victory lane this season, Grant Enfinger has been the most consistent driver as he is one of two competitors to post seven top-10 finishes in the eight races thus far. It has paid off, allowing him to build a race cushion over the cut-off and currently lead the regular season standings.
He is currently projected to start the playoffs in the lead, four points ahead of Sauter.
4. Stewart Friesen +64
With having come close to winning on several occasions, Stewart Friesen has been given the title 'the next driver to breakthrough' for a long time now in the NASCAR Gander Outdoor Truck Series. While we still await for the moment to happen, he has built himself a good cushion with five top-10 finishes this season.
He is currently projected to start the playoffs in third, four points behind Enfinger.
5. Brett Moffitt +46
The defending series champion has not slowed down despite switching teams, having scored five top-10's in eight races, with half of those in the top-five. Certainly he will be hoping to put his 19th-place finish at Charlotte Motor Speedway behind him quickly to maintain his current advantage.
He is currently projected to start the playoffs in fifth, five points behind Enfinger.
6. Ben Rhodes +45
Ben Rhodes has been solid, scoring six top-10 finishes in the eight races this season, including a fourth-place finish at Charlotte to pad his advantage. With an average finish ranging from ninth to 11th at the next three tracks on the schedule, he needs to make sure his consistency continues.
He is currently projected to start the playoffs in sixth, nine points behind Enfinger.
7. Matt Crafton +42
It may come as a shock that Matt Crafton has yet to reach victory lane, but that is the case eight races into the 2019 campaign. He has shown the potential to do so as he put himself in contention on a couple occasions, but not consistency like he has been known to do so in the past. He will need to improve on making that a regular habit if he wants to continue racking up championships.
He is currently projected to start the playoffs in seventh, nine points behind Enfinger.
8. Todd Gilliland +1
While Kyle Busch Motorsports is known as being championship contenders and Kyle Busch managed to score five victories this year, the team now watches as their young drivers fight for the last spot in the top-eight of the playoffs. The only way to make it happen for them both now is to see a victory be earned. Gateway could very well see it happen for Todd Gilliland following a runner-up finish last season.
He is currently projected to start the playoffs in eighth, 13 points behind Enfinger.
9. Harrison Burton -1
Harrison Burton has shown potential behind the wheel with race-winning opportunities, but seems to be missing what it takes to be there at the end of these events with the veterans. Combined with having to fight back from issues each week, the points are not being earned as much as he would have hoped.
Out of the next three races on the schedule, Iowa Speedway is his best chance to reach victory lane following a pole and third-place finish last season.
10. Sheldon Creed -24
Sheldon Creed consistently runs up front with the leaders throughout the events, but seems to find trouble – sometimes of his own making – during the late stages which seems him relegated outside of the top-10 in the finishing order. As a result, he only has one top-10 finish despite leading 92 laps to this point.
Out of the next three races on the schedule, Texas Motor Speedway is the only track he has ran previously.
11. Tyler Dippel -88
For a rookie in the series, you need to give Tyler Dippel credit for the performance delivered thus far with a season-best finish of eighth at Texas Motor Speedway. He just needs to work at finding more consistency with Young's Motorsports to run steadily in the top-10.

Meeting all of my clients needs promptly and successfully in every transaction is both personally and professionally rewarding.
In the dynamic and varied Whatcom County real estate market, it is essential to know the area, the real estate trends and the many neighborhoods, cities and small communities that make this such a desirable place to live. Because I was born and raised in Whatcom County, I know this area well. I grew up near Lake Samish and have lived in Bellingham, Blaine and now my home is near Lynden.
As a full-time realtor, I understand the importance of prompt communication and meeting you when you are available. I have worked regular shifts, 12-hour shifts, overnight shifts and rotating hours in customer service, government and heavy industrial jobs. I get how important it is to meet people when they are available and to always keep them informed. I am honest and motivated and will work hard for you throughout the purchase or sale of your home.
Outside of real estate, I love spending time with my four dogs and relaxing, reading books, watching movies, and enjoying quality time with my significant other.
I know firsthand the feeling of receiving the keys to my own home and would love to assist you in obtaining that yourself. Whatcom County is home for me and I would love to find you a local property that provides that feeling of home for you and be the realtor that helps you buy or sell your home.

The Nitty Gritty
- 4.2 kW grid-tied array of 20 Sanyo 210W PV Modules (2 strings of 10 modules); mounted with a 32 degree pitch, 180 degree orientation (south)
- Sunny Boy 4000US inverter located in our basement laundry room. Note: the inverter makes a high pitched humming sound when it is on, so if you are sensitive to these frequencies (most women are) be sure to locate it away from living space.
- Total cost of this system, purchased through the Solarize Portland group-buying project: $28,560 (I estimate this system would have cost us $37,800 without the Solarize Portland group discount.) Energy Trust Incentive payment: $9,450. This payment came from ETO to the contractor before I even got the bill, so the check I wrote to the contractor was $19,610. That is still a heck of a lot of money. But, after all of the tax credits are taken this system will have only cost us $6,700. That's a little better.
- We estimate the system will have paid for itself at around the 10 year mark (2019). In the meantime, we've factored it all out and our solar panels are generating power for us at a cost of 6 cents/kWhr (prepaid). Given that rates are already above 10 cents/kWhr with PGE and rising, we feel we've locked in a nice power production rate. As PGE rates continue to rise, our payback time frame will shorten.
- Our contractor was Imagine Energy, and I can't say enough good things about them.
Earliest Measurements
In February of 2009, our PGE bill reflects we consumed an average of 23kW hours of grid-power per day. In February of 2010 (after our panels were installed), our PGE bill reflects we consumed an average of 5kW hours of grid-power per day. It was indeed a sunny February this year, and we were thrilled to have a solar power plant on our roof to make use of all that unusual weather.
Unintended consequences
The female head of household (that's me) is quite pleased to report that having a power plant on the roof has increased the entire household's awareness about power consumption. All my failed strategies to get people to turn off the lights were, evidently, missing one component that measurable, in-house production provides. When you can see your production, it becomes a game to make your consumption match (or even fall below) that production number. Now we're all thinking about ways we can lower our consumption, which means we're REALLY thinking about (and even measuring) our consumption in ways we hadn't before. Like, item by item. Activity by activity (note, this could become crazy making). And the fact that even the resident 5 year old is in on the race is thrilling to me.
How we came to our solar panel decision
The female head of house (me again) helped start the first Solarize Portland project with Tim O'Neal of SE Uplift and Lizzie Rubado of the Energy Trust of Oregon. "Find out if solar panels make sense for our home" had been an item on my to-do list for like 7 years. When the opportunity presented itself to start this program, I hesitated at all the work it would mean… finally sorting out all my questions about solar. But within a few minutes of having met with Tim and Lizzie, I learned there was a wealth of solar information in Portland that just needed to be pulled together in one spot for homeowners like myself. So, that's what we did. And, we made some of the key big decisions that ALWAYS trip me up in any home related project = like, who to hire. Once the project sorted out all of the details that normally SLOW me down so much I stall out, it was clear solar PV was practical and within reach.
Which left one big decision we had to make for ourselves = how big of a system do we buy? In the end, I have to give the credit to the male head of household (credit? blame?) for the size system we purchased. He made a number of arguments in favor of the 4kW system (I was initially more comfortable with the cost of the 3kW system). I liked the "give the boot to Enron" argument a lot = you're going to spend this money on electricity anyway, why not divert the money from a company the likes of Enron and channel it into your own system. I also liked the "reduce volatility argument" he made one morning over breakfast. Obviously, the energy market is volatile and prices are generally only expected to tick upwards, but at what rate no one knows really. With a 4kW panel investment we'd be locking in a 30 year electricity production cost of $.06 per kWh from our solar panels… that is already lower than the price we pay per kWh to PGE. So, I'm sort of pre-paying for $6700 worth of energy and getting a discount for doing so… I think. But here is the volatility argument only I could love (and I REALLY love it). We've owned a few stocks and I've disliked 95% of them. The very arrival of a stock statement represents volatility, for my moods, as the principal of what we've invested evaporates. But I can divest myself of "stock" investments (reducing volatility in my moods as statement time arrives) AND channel that money into my own little power company right on my roof. It'll even pay dividends. Fewer stock headaches + dividends + boot Enron = we bought a 4kW system for our house.

The editing of book 3 has left me with some disturbing memories of the terrorist threat that existed in the 70s, 80s and 90s when the IRA were at their most active. Thankfully, there has been less violence surrounding Northern Ireland in recent years where peace talks must have finally paid off.
At the time however, these incidents induced fear: the occasions I took a train to London when services were suspended because of a bomb scare. On one occasion, I was sat in a tube train in the middle of a dark tunnel amongst hundreds of other commuters for nearly an hour! There was even occasion when my home town of Bognor was targeted – who remembers the bicycle bomb outside Woolworths?
The attacks were mainly confined to the British Commonwealth and took place in England. Here are a few of examples, which I chose to mention – as they occurred in 1987, 1990 and 1991 (the years in which parts of the story are set) and have therefore found their way into the pages of my most recent novel, Pleasures:
Poppy Day Bombing
November 8th 1987: At a remembrance Day parade a bomb was detonated killing 11 and injuring 60 including women and children.
He admitted to being in a dark place; upset by the troubles in Northern Ireland, which had culminated in the recent 'Poppy Day' bombing in the small town of Enniskillen. This callous attack, carried out by the IRA, had sent shock waves through the community…
Death on the Rock of Gibraltar
March 7th 1988: A chain of events which began with an IRA plot in Gibraltar and ended with the murder of 2 British soldiers
The news had been rocked by a chain of brutal events, starting with the three IRA terrorists gunned down at point blank range on the rock of Gibraltar. It was believed, they had been plotting to bomb a local changing of the guards ceremony – plastic explosives had been discovered.
A week later, a military style funeral took place in Belfast. Yet in a barbaric twist of fate, a Protestant gunman had materialised, opening fire into the crowd and hurling grenades. Both nationalists and loyalists traditionally respected sectarian funerals – which made this an unusual incident, although it had eventually emerged, the assassin was operating alone.
"What's this latest atrocity?" Eleanor whispered in horror.
"Two British soldiers have been murdered," Peter shuddered. "They found themselves inadvertently caught up in the midst of an IRA parade; they were dragged from their car, beaten unconscious, then taken to some nearby wasteland and shot!"
July 1990: The IRA stepped up its campaign of violence in the form of a bomb attack on the London stock exchange, followed by an even more terrible attack on a British MP.
Peter closed his eyes. There had been so many incidents in the news since then and as the bus chugged its way through a sea of rush hour traffic, he was mentally listing them. He blinked, just as they were passing the London Stock Exchange – clocking the sharp grey walls, the columns of tall windows. It was hard to imagine, an IRA bomb had blown a massive hole in that building in July 1990. Peter felt the onset of a shiver. Wasn't it in the same month, an IRA car bomb had also claimed the life of Conservative MP, Ian Gow; a hefty Semtex device whose effects were nearly as devastating as the one in which Albert Enfield had been killed.
Mortar bomb attack on the British Government
February 7th 1991
He decided to jump off, knowing it would be quicker to get to his friend's house by tube. Yet the memories kept jabbing at him. There was no question, the IRA had upped their offensive. Earlier that year, they had fired a mortar bomb at 10 Downing Street – a shocking attack which had left the entire Conservative cabinet reeling!
The above extracts are from Book 3 Pleasures, Same Face Different Place, a British series which begins with a political conspiracy and a car bomb attack which claims the life of a British MP.
Obviously, no-one can ignore the far deadlier threat which now exists in the form of extreme Islamic terrorism via Al-Qaida. It is something that is never going to go away and no longer affects just Britain but the whole world.
It seems like a horrific twist of fate that on the day I finished writing this post, news broke out of a barbaric shooting at Paris offices of satirical magazine, resulting in 12 people being killed. Just another example of the type of terrorist attack which has become one of the worst evils of the modern world.

Britons faced uncomfortable conditions overnight as the heatwave continued to grip parts of the country.
Thursday saw Britain gripped by the second hottest day ever recorded.
But as night drew, a phenomenon known as a "heat burst", caused a spike in temperatures in the evening.
Lincolnshire saw a short and sharp rise in temperatures of 10C in just 20 minutes at around 10.20pm.
Overnight temperatures reached a muggy 32C, while thunder struck other parts if the country.
The sudden rise in overnight temperatures was caused by a collapsed thunderstorm, which quickly forced a blast of hot air down to the surface.
WOW parts of #Lincolnshire just saw a temporary 10 degree Celsius rise in temperature this evening 🌡— Met Office (@metoffice) July 25, 2019
This was due to a #thunderstorm collapsing and bringing hot air from aloft down to the surface ⛈
Check out this temperature curve from Donna Nook⬇ #heatwave #UKHottestJulyDay pic.twitter.com/c0fVDbyiuV
The Met Office graph revealed that heat began rising at Donna Nook, a coastal area in the county, at around 10pm.
The temperature peaked just a few minutes later, before gradually falling again shortly after.

'Severe thunderstorms' cause travel chaos for hundreds at Heathrow
The weather agency also added: "Tonight's event is likely to be an example of a heat burst, a rare atmospheric phenomenon characterised by gusty winds along with a rapid increase in temperature and decrease in dew point (moisture)"
The stifling heat caused travel chaos across the country, with commuters left stranded as trains and roads ground to standstill.
And the chaos continued into Friday, with thousands stranded at Heathrow airport due to thunderstorms.
Damage and delays to the rail network will take the majority of the weekend to rectify.

Today's #Tango Thought 032: Body Contortion
A good portion of people come into the embrace, Lead or Follow, and in one way, shape, or form, contort their bodies to make the dance work while dancing, rather than employ proper technique.
Contort ? Yes. For example: As a Lead or Follow they might dance with a 'head tilt' towards (buried into) or away from their partner, or as a Lead they'll employ 'waiter arm and hand', or as a Follower they'll dance in their Lead's armpit, twisting their body to the side, and un-leveling their shoulders. This is contortion.
You would think that these dancers can feel the contortions.
No. They can't.
To them the contortion is normal, this is how they view the dance.
Correcting contortion is not easy for one simple reason: Their bodies, their nervous system, their muscles are used to the contortion! And because they're used to the contortion, doing anything else aside from what they usually do is painful to them. Muscles, nerves, tendons that they have strengthened to do X, Y, and Z (the contortion), is now being asked to do A, B, and C, and it's painful to them, even for a minute. The A, B, and C in this case is better tango posture, desirable head position, relaxed arm and hand positions that do not employ tension, resistance, and/or force.
Correcting that contortion and bodily awareness takes time, patience, and lots of reminders.
Those reminders, by the way, are constant, even after a minute of hearing it, and doing it, while being reminded of X, Y, and Z, they'll go back to X, Y, and Z! Why ? Because it's comfortable for them. It takes a lot of time and reminders to unlearn what they have learned. And for a while the dance will be uncomfortable. That discomfort is an absolute requirement to learning and employing better tango technique. #SocialTango #SocialDance #ArgentineTango #TangoDancing

Do you place value on how much you have or how much you make? Do you calculate intrinsic value? Do you actually weigh in elements that may not have a price tag on them? Relationships, freedom, lower blood pressure, etc. What is your time worth? Do you value it or watch it? How much time do you have?
All of the things mentioned above do have value, even if there is not a wigit/digit on a calculator for them. We must figure out a way to work them into our equation. One of the largest factors not mentioned is JOY. Please note that I did not say happiness. There is a big difference. To me the difference between the two is a feeling or a state of being.
Happiness may bring instant gratification. However, instant gratification often leads to regret. How can I illustrate this? Transform your impulse wants and desires into a plate of chili cheese fries. You are so hungry. The fries are made perfectly. The chili is made from scratch. The cheese is real melted cheese. It's perfectly seasoned and you have your favorite beverage next to the plate. Ready, set, go for it. Your brain releases all the feel good hormones. This is amazing . . . so you eat the whole plate. BOOM! Have you ever regretted it afterwards? Was it worth it?
Living in joy is a state of accomplishment . . . of knowing it is good. Joy is a sense of life being worth it. Joy is the lack of regret. What kind of value does that have in your life? How can you calculate it? Many times we have difficult doing this because we don't have a scale to compare it to. So, okay, let's compare it to something.
We know that health issues brought on by stress can be financially devastating. According to an article on policy holders and medical expenses, the lifetime treatment costs of a minor heart attack can be in excess of $700K. However, this is just one comparison.
When we we add potential loss of relationships, time with loved ones, and our freedom, we start to develop a picture of worth. What is important to you? What or who would affect you the most if lost? There is a value that must be considered. Can you measure it? Sure you can. Measure it against the lack of or loss of that relationship, that freedom, that time. This is the "it" factor.
In 1991, there was a comedy film made called City Slickers. If you haven't heard of it or seen it, it's worth the time. In the film there is a tough cowboy named Curly, played by Jack Palance. Curly told the main character Mitch (played by Billy Crystal) that the secret of life is . . . then he held up one finger. "One thing, just one thing. You stick to that and everything else don't mean (expletive)." Easy there Curly, but we get your point. In the movie, Mitch discovers the "one thing." What is that one thing for you?
We must determine what our priorities are–what makes life worthwhile. Once we have determined this foundation, we must calculate it as we do finances and benefits. There might not be an app for this calculation, but expressions of faith, family time, health, and freedom can be calculated and measured.

Is there ANYONE out there...?
I'm starting to wonder if I've developed a Superhero Power...
No, really.
It appears that I am now able to become... drumroll, please... invisible!
Let me explain...
For a few months now (well, since last November, to be precise) I've been job-hunting. I'd just like to find a job that is more creative in nature, more writing-centred (my current role is more of a copy-editing/proofreading thingy). I've been a busy girl getting lots of writing experience in addition to my work: doing citizen journalism things for the past two years, maintaining my blogs and, of course, writing short stories along with my novel. About the only other thing I could try in order to add to my already gargantuan writing efforts would be to resort to writing down everything I'd normally say out loud on large sheets of A3 paper, a la Bob Dylan.
Now, nobody would say that job-hunting is easy: I completely understand that. And neither am I over-ambitiously pursuing roles that are stratospherically out of my league. I am so entirely capable of every job I've applied for - and if I could just get to an interview, I'm certain that I could communicate my potential. But, twenty-one job applications later, I'm yet to attain this lofty goal...
Maybe it's my CV, I thought. So, I found a couple of CV-clinic services, where you submit your CV and they, basically, rip it to shreds - before suggesting lots of lovely ideas to make it sparkly and attractive.
"Don't have an Objectives section," they advised, "state your Attributes first to sell your skills."
Brilliant, I thought, and got straight to work.
I was ruthless, I was eloquent, I was... well, quite chuffed with the result, actually. So - just to check - I sent my newly polished CV to a different CV-clinic company and eagerly awaited their reply.
"Attributes sections are quite old-fashioned," came the sombre verdict. "You might consider changing it for an Objectives section, so prospective employers know what you are looking for in a position."
Brilliant. So basically either would work - or not work - brilliantly - or awfully - depending on which way you looked at it.
Undeterred - ever the Eternal Optimist - I made some more tweaks and sent my newly - well, altered CV off to apply for several jobs.
Nothing. Zilch. Nada. Ничто.
So, after considering all the options, I finally came to this earth-shattering conclusion: I am invisible!
How cool is that?!
Then, I started to look at other areas too and found that - yes - my Superhero Power is evident there, too! Take my blogs, for example. To be fair, this one does get lovely comments, all of which completely make my day - but my new blog September's had a few comments initially, then everything went quiet...
Don't get me wrong: I love my blogs and I will keep writing them even if I am the Invisible Woman - but do you ever find you start to wonder if what you do makes a difference to anybody? I think we carry on in the hope that something we do, or say, sing, or write will meet someone at the moment they needed to hear it. Maybe that's the driving force behind all creative people, however they express themselves to the world.
I'm not fishing for jobs, or recognition, or a thousand hits on my blog sites - it's just a rhetorical question I keep finding myself asking - well, myself. Am I invisible or do I make a difference? I'm not sure there's an answer, really. After all, how many people do we pass in the course of our day that we never really take the time to notice?
In the meantime, I'm going to have fun thinking of ways to utilise my newly-found Superhuman Ability... Now, where could I go if nobody can see me....?!

The Mazamas offers a variety of classes for all ability levels. Learn new skills in mountaineering, rock climbing, first aid, ski mountaineering, and more.
Close to the freeway and with an easy approach, this peak gets a lot of attention - by 1991, there were 14,000 ascents! Three easy 5th class pitches gets you to the top. Weekends can be crowded with newbies, so start early or go late to avoid the crowds.
This face is about 330 ft high, above "Pineapple Pass". The steps on this narrow, solid face are steep, interrupted by good belay ledges with stunted evergreens. The route takes small gear to 2 inches, and an ice axe may be needed in early season. This is a classic climb of this area. Its historic names have included Denny Horn and Denny Tooth. The Tooth is formed of Tertiary andesite breccia thermally metamorphosed by the Snoqualmie batholith. (Wow!) See Beckey's Cascade Alpine Guide for a more detailed look at this area's geologic and climbing history.
Activity Notes
The Tooth is a classic rock climb on solid rock. It has a few low 5th class moves and an airy "catwalk" traverse on a four inch wide ledge that is a particular attraction. It's a great first alpine rock climb. Our plan will be to drive to the Snoqualmie Pass area on Saturday 9/21 and camp (at either Denny Creek Campground, or at the Snow Lake Trailhead), then do a car to car run up The Tooth on Sunday, 9/22. We will likely be back to Portland late Sunday evening, tired but happy!

|summitpost https://www.summitpost.org/the-tooth/150784 mountain forecast https://www.mountain-forecast.com/peaks/The-Tooth/forecasts/1708 Be prepared for extremely S L O W parties ahead of you. Try this climb on a weekday if possible. Get an early start. Rockfall from the last pitch is common, so be sure to wear your helmet at the base of the route. Rack: one rope, five or six medium to large stoppers, five or six medium to large cams (orange / red / black Metolius, Camalot 1 2 3 should do it.) It's about a two-hour hike from the car to the base of the route. Ice ax and crampons might be needed in early-season, but typically not after June. John Godino | February 2009 2. Approx 32 people total on the route Saturday June 6, passed and was passed by multiple teams. Mitigated by numerous alternate (and more fun!) routes up the face, climbers should be prepared to climb 5.5 on fixed line to expedite. Rapping all but the leader off other points can help too. Off-weekend scheduling as suggested in the prospectus is a very good idea. Rockfall does happen. My helmet will testify. Glenn Widener | June 2015

I've thought long and hard about writing this post, as you can see from my two week absence. For part of that, however, I was recovering from the removal of four wisdom teeth. By recovering, I totally mean milking it. Hey, don't judge me. When I see an opportunity for a break I'm taking it. I used that break to formulate a post about the publishing experience my mom and I had with our cookbook.
A vanity press is a publishing company that requires payment from an author to publish their book as well as little to no selection criteria. A solid publisher won't require payment to publish your work; your book is supposed to make the money. They're also going to be particular about what they choose for that reason.
Our "publishing company" was able to dodge that label (vanity press) by calling the $3990 requirement a marketing retainer. It was supposed to go towards a team that would actively promote our work. They also wrote on their page and in initial e-mails that they were selective with acceptances. Keep this in mind as you read on.
Once they got the $3990 and our book was completed and entering the production phase, things started to go south. Right off the bat we submitted everything; photos (we paid our own photographer to take pictures of food we made and the author picture), completed manuscript, author information and everything necessary for the publication of the book. It took about two months for their "editing" team to go through the work and get it back to us. When we got it back, there were several errors to fix, but once those were fixed it advanced down the production line.
At that time they began to ask us to re-submit several things (although, they asked for submissions not re-submissions), pictures in particular. We had to submit pictures three times. Each time we let them know it had been done already, yet it remained unseen. It took another two months to get our completed book back for approval.
When we got it, we found even more mistakes than we'd originally corrected. When we made our correction notes on that, they would partially correct them and return the book with even more errors. It was almost like they changed things around on a whim. Because they kept changing items we didn't authorize or ask for, this was the longest step of the process. It took about four months. Once we got those errors fixed (as much as we could), they sent us the agreement for the price and look of the book.
We didn't agree with their price point (almost double what it is currently), so we had to fight to get it lower. We had to ask repeatedly for the price and appearance options available. After a week or two we finally agreed on a look and price and they began to send us physical copies to approve. First, the book came in black and white when it was supposed to be color. It also came non glossy when it was supposed to be glossy, as well as not including pictures. When we notified them of the problem, they would fix one issue at a time and tell us the printer was making mistakes, not them.
We didn't receive a final physical proof, but after four proofs and written documentation, we mistakenly thought we were on the same page. In June of 2015, we ordered our first hundred books and the book was for sale through the "publisher." My husband got his purchased copy before our books came and it was wrong. They were printing, selling and distributing books of lesser quality for a higher price. When we notified them, they said they had it in the system as something different but were unsure of why. So they "fixed" it.
When we got our books, not only was there a four week delay (without a word or reason), but they were all wrong. Because they were wrong (and extremely late) we had to cancel signing events and wait another two months to get the correct books. On the national release date (9-8-15), the press release spelled one of our names wrong. The book was also unavailable on Amazon until February 2016. We wrote multiple inquiries and requests fighting for their fulfillment of the contract to no avail.
Nothing changed until we got the BBB involved. Even then it was minimal at best. We've just finished our sixth quarter of sales with them, half of which we got sales reports for, and have yet to receive a single royalty check. In July they gave a false excuse as to why we hadn't received it and stated they would create and send them that week. That was three months ago. We have, however, gotten something from them so they do have our address.
We are also our own marketing team. Although they gave us a three page marketing questionnaire, to which we gave an additional five pages of information, none of it was used. We were scheduled for an event but not notified of it (we found it on a Google search of our title), forcing us to cancel and look bad. The one event they scheduled for us in 15 months was two days in Canada. The businesses (two owned by one person) never agreed to two signings. In addition, we couldn't even bring our books into Canada for sale.
We got radio silence from our author service representative from November 2015 to July 2016 with the exception of one e-mail. Our e-mails and phone calls went unanswered from February until July.
Now, the predicament is we're not being allowed out of our contract unless we are able to financially and physically go to where our publisher is located and enter arbitration. So we're unable to get our $3990 returned (because we can't get there to legally terminate the contract), and we aren't getting paid for any sales.
This process has put us through the ringer, so to speak, and is the reason for writing this. Prior to signing the contract, we had a lawyer look it over. He found it very author friendly, especially considering the clause allowing a termination of the contract if either party is found in breach. Unfortunately, there's also a clause stating we have to go to them for legal action, making it very difficult to attain.
This post is longer than I usually make them, I know, but if you are an aspiring writer, I encourage you to keep putting yourself out there. If you have to pay to get your work published, let it be to a printer or a legitimate publisher. I want to warn you off going the path we took because we are not alone in this predicament. As a writer, you will experience rejection, but that doesn't mean your work isn't good. Keep pushing and keep looking. Don't settle, and don't make the mistakes we've made.
Writer, beware who you give your trust to. Has anyone else experienced this? Let us know in the comments!
UPDATE 3/19/17 – Tate has closed their doors as of January 17, 2017. Wanna know who didn't get notified by them? Yeah, we didn't. I mean, a boat load of others didn't either, but I'm still pretty ticked. I'm putting a link here to the public complaint I filed. Be aware that there are many typos. I was angry, what can I say?

Flashback Five – Ian McKellen's Finest Movie Moments
Starting this Sunday, we'll all know him as Number Two. But until The Prisoner premieres, Ian McKellen will continue to be known for his impeccable gravitas and his stunning performances as one of the greatest actors of our time. McKellen actually got a late start, working for years in smaller roles and sticking mostly to the Shakespearean stage — but he's more than made up for that in the past twenty years. Read on for a summation of his greatest big screen hits.
1. The Lord of the Rings (2001)
You could probably pick any of the three movies from McKellen's most famous role, the Middle-Earth wizard Gandalf, but for our money, The Two Towers showcases the best of the lot. Killed at the end of the first movie, McKellen gets a spectacular sequence in the next in which he explains that he came back to life by eating moths and flying to freedom on giant eagles' wings… An explanation which, despite how silly it sounds, is totally sold by McKellen's magnetic performance.
2. X-Men (2000)
Speaking of which, McKellen's second most famous role is that of Magneto, Master of Magnetism, in the X-Men movies. Though McKellen is center stage in the first movie, it's his complicated portrayal of Eric Lensherr, and his relationship with Patrick Stewart's Professor Xavier that form the backbone of the series. Superheroes can often come off as silly, but McKellen's Magneto is nothing less than a threat to be reckoned with, and sometimes, pitied.
3. Apt Pupil (1998)
If the X-Men series shows us anything, it's that McKellen excels at portraying humanized monsters. That all started with this Stephen King adaptation, which casts McKellen as a Nazi war criminal in hiding who is drawn back into a life of murder by a manipulative high school student (Brad Renfro). The movie's complicated morality is perfectly showcased through McKellen's terrifying, heartbreaking portrayal.
4. Gods and Monsters (1998)
Sensing any sort of pattern here? McKellen stars as the late film director James Whale, whose complicated sexuality and old age entangle him with a naïve but sweet gardener, played by Brendan Fraser. McKellen was nominated for an Academy Award for this performance, which set the tone for many of his later works.
5. Richard III (1995)
The movie that rocketed McKellen from "oh, that distinguished guy in the background!" status to full-fledged movie star, this Shakespeare adaptation casts McKellen as the titular monarch in an anachronistic, '30s-inspired version of England. The portrayal bridges the gap between McKellen's stage work and his film work, and despite not necessarily tearing up at the box office, the movie McKellen on the map as a hot new actor to watch — at 56 years old.
Honorable Mentions:
1. Bent (1997) – For this brutal adaptation of Martin Sherman's play about the Nazi persecution of homosexuals in Germany, McKellen takes on the small, but crucial part of "Uncle Freddie."
2. Cold Comfort Farm (1995) – Right before hitting it big in Richard III, McKellen played an over-the-top preacher in small town England, stealing every scene he was in.
3. Last Action Hero (1993) – Any McKellen fan knows that Sir Ian appears in a cameo as Death in this Arnold Schwarzenegger disaster, which is nowhere near as bad — and far more fun — than you remember it to be.
4. Six Degrees of Separation (1993) – McKellen stars as a South African businessman in the movie adaptation of John Guare's play as a favor to the director, yet instills as much good humor in the part as he does any other role.
5. The Ballad of Little Jo (1993) – Though only appearing briefly in this movie, McKellen perfectly forecasted his ability to vacillate between kindness and quiet terror as an irascible man who takes in the vagrant Jo.Read More

Have you ever said or heard the phrase, "is there anything i can do?" Do you think it's just a question people are taught to ask when they don't know what to say, but the answer should always be "I'm ok." That's how I operate most of the time. For some reason, when I say "Is there anything I can do?" I mean it. I wish the person would actually tell me something that would help them. BUT, when someone asks me the question, I assume they don't mean it. I assume they are expecting me to say "I'm ok." But what if I'm not ok? What if there is a long list of something you can do, and it would really bless me and make our friendship stronger? So, now I am beginnig to say…. "Acutally… yes." I'm getting quite good at this! And you know what? I'm a lot less stressed these days and I have closer friendships than I used to. Here are some examples:
- We have an event called "open cabins" on Easter day. It is where people open up their cabins with treats and the whole crew (400 people) can come around and see the cabins and have some snacks. Work was a bit crazy around this time, and I wasn't sure if I could pull off open cabins. However, it is something I really enjoy and since most cabins are really small, a family cabin is a great cabin to participate in this event. Two of my friends asked if I was participating, and I told them that I have been too busy to cook. Then, I said, "I'll open my cabin if you will do the cooking." They agreed!! All I did was straightened up the cabin and enjoyed Easter with my family. They did all the cooking (which they actually enjoy doing). And we all enjoyed open cabins!
- One of my other friends baked BJ's birthday cake, while I had a very busy day at work. It was delicious and a stress free party!
- Sunday was Brian's birthday, and I was trying to find something to do to let him know how much we love him. He is so good at showing our family how much he loves us. My friend asked me the other day "if there was anything she could do to ease the pressure." Those were her exact words. I had a lot of things I needed to do, but I still wanted to bake Brian a chocolate cake. So, I said, "do you like to bake?" She baked a yummy chocolate cake!
I used to be allergic to asking for help, but I'm realizing not only is it good for my stress level, but it opens up a new realm of relationships. I am significantly closer to each of these friends now, it is something about their willingness to use their gifts to bless my family that bumps our relationship up many notches. Community living… my friend Tom said "it's a nice way of saying 'tight quarters and limited personal space'" But it definitely has it's perks as long as I'm willing to lay down my pride and ask for help. (and obviously help others too).

Connecting esp32 RMII to another MCU's RMII
Is it possible to connect esp32 ethernet RMII to another MCU's ethernet RMII without having to put a PHY chip in between? We are using SPI as an interface between a PIC32 and the ESP32, but looking forward we might want to take advantage of ethernet's faster speeds. Both of the MCUs have RMII interfaces available.
