Slime: It's what's for Science.
Posted April 3, 2013on:
In the way that most preteens do, my daughter decided to wait until the very last moment to inform me that she had to have something for science on Monday that:
1. Had to fit into a brown paper bag bag the size of a lunchbox, and
2. Could be experimented upon.
The rules and regulations for said experimentation were dodged around and avoided, and then I learned it was because no matter what her teacher had suggested, she had decided she only wanted to experiment on those grow your own dinosaur tablet thingies. You know…the things that look like medicine and you put them into water and watch them burst out, roaring mightily! (or at least, they did in my imagination…)
So one trip to the Dollar Store later, we had dinosaur tablets and nothing to do with them. We decided she could try and see how they developed in water, salt water and….hey! How about slime?!
Oh. My. God. Do you have any idea how many recipes on the Internet are for Nickelodeon type slime?? Do you know how many of them involve Borax, Clear glue, liquid latex or anything else not easily found under your kitchen sink on a Sunday afternoon? Finally, when I was in the middle of reaching for the wine bottle in desperation, we came across one that stated it was borax free and perfectly safe! And so…a blogpost was born.
Ask.com's version of Borax free, Nickelodeon Slime.
(btw…when I think of slime…I thought of THIS. This,however, is not what my daughter wanted. We will definitely be making that though, on a very in the near future time frame. Cause that stuff is rad.)
Anyway, The ingredients are:
2 cups water
4 cup cornstarch
Food coloring of choice.
The first thing I learned about making slime was this: my daughter can -not- scoop cornstarch! She had white powder substance -everywhere!- But that was ok…what experiments are neat and orderly?
We warmed the water on the stovetop, slowly adding in cups of cornstarch. I stirred, she poured, and we both waited. I'm not sure what exactly we thought was going to happen, but we were a little dissapointed when all that we could see was white water.
So, we deviated from the plan. We added in a cup of flour, because surely 4 cups of cornstach was a lot?
We turned down the heat on the stove because that's what the instructions said to do. It didn't make sense to me, since every time I've used cornstarch in gravy you're supposed to wait til it boils but…who am I to judge? I'm certainly not the expert in slime development!
Then we stirred. And stirred. And it just stayed…..blah. Milky. Weak!
So we added another cup of flour. And another cup of cornstarch. And we stirred.
I think it was about at this time that my daughter looked at me and said, " Are you sure you didn't just make this up?"
It was also at this point that I said to myself, " The Internet lies!!!"
All in all, it wasn't too bad. It came to a consistency very much like gravy, so we decided it into two bowls and added food coloring.
My eldest daughter, by the way, despises the color pink, and of course insisted that I have no idea what I'm talking about and used an entire container of red food coloring proving to us both that I was right and no amount of red food coloring is going to make white goo red. Instead it just becomes more vibrantly pink!
She was not amused.
But I was!
A few hours later we took the slime out of the fridge and stirred. It seems the longer its cold, the firmer it gets. Nice to know!
Oh, and the science project? Success, though we inadvertently also learned that it goes bad after a week, fridge or no.
And when it goes bad, it smells like moldy death.
Crafting FAIL
Posted January 16, 2013on:
- In: Crafting | Kids Crafts
- 3 Comments
Hello, Readers! It has been quite some time since we've touched base with you! Things over here have been crazy and busy and we are so SO sorry to have neglected you! And so, as an apology, please enjoy reading about the mess I got myself into over the summer!
At the beginning of summer I made a post about all of the crafts I was super excited to try during the summer. With it being January and all and the kids back in school I can successfully report that we have tried none of them. Yes…you read that correctly, none of my Top Ten Crafts were done this summer! Looking back, I think perhaps that list was a bit overzealous, considering the amount of other stuff we had going on this year. Visits and pool time and babysitting, oh my! We did however, get some things started.
First, in preparation for our summertime Grammy visit, I saw something I thought might be neat (probably on Pinterest) and immediately decided that was a fantastic craft to accomplish while my niece was here. I bought wooden letters for each of the kids first initials and some paint. I figured they could each decorate their letter in their own style, with a variety of decorations to do so with. Well….then I actually took stock of my dwindling craft box. I planned to stop at the craft store(s) before they got here…and then I didn't. So I planned to go to the craft store while they were here, and let the kids pick out what they wanted to decorate with. Well…that didn't happen either. Before I knew it, it was the last week my niece and mother and law would be here and was still hadn't done our craft!
On top of that, my niece had called me before they left, challenging me to help her create a jewelry holder, like those fancy metal dress forms. Challenge accepted, little girlie. We brainstormed, came up with a fantastic idea for a tree shaped hanger (more on that in a minute) and I told her I'd pick up molding clay.
Which…I didn't…because well, it involved a trip to the craft store.
So there we were, craftless and sad. After a trip to the zoo, I had my husband stop at the craft store and I grabbed some shinies for the letters and the required clay for the jewelry box. I really wanted this big brick of clay from Mexico, but the entire package was written in Spanish and I only know the swear words so…I went with something a little smaller but whose directions were plainly in English. Then a day (or maye two) later we started on the letters. The paint jobs were varied, the painters all chose something totally their own, and I got to stand back, take pictures and not get painted on. Then we agreed that the letters should really have a day to dry, in case we needed a second coat.
(as an aside, I really wish I would have bought some kind of sealer or primer or both, because the paint dried way lighter than it showed wet and it was matte…lame!)
Then my niece came down with a cold. And we went out. And we went to urgent care (for the cold). And then we went out again. And sooner or later ( or, you know, two days before they were leaving) we realized we had to start the jewelry holder! So we put aside the letters to be completed during Thanksgiving break and took out all the goodies for the jewelry container.
This was so rad! I really wish we had started it earlier and also that I had made one for myself because it was way too much fun!
First we took a wire hanger and cut it into various lengths. Then we took a pair of pliers and twisted them together, Ina vague tree shaped form.
Once we had the limbs going in the direction she wanted and tied them together with tape, we had a pause, because what on earth were we going to use to hold it up?
Enter my husband, who has a crazy love for molding things with liquid plastic and very little opportunities. He said, "Hey, why don't I just mold the base?" And so, he was in charge of that.
Except not really, because of course I didn't like his tentative plan for using a bowl and had to stick my nose into it.
His job, not…you know, the mold…because who wants a mold of their nose?
Eventually there was a fine metal tree imbedded in an equally fine plastic bowl…and it was 11 o'clock at night. So we had my niece put it away for the night…and in an incredible crafting fail, ran out of time to finish. I ended up sending the molding clay home with her, with instructions for her to send me pictures when she finished it.
I am a horrible aunt, and Martha Stewart would be ashamed!
Things I learned from this:
1. I am totally not Martha Stewart.
1A. My niece is ok with this.
2. My crafting eyes are bigger than my crafting stomach.
3. I need to learn the difference between acrylic, tempra, water color, oil and water based paints. It would take the guesswork out of life but leave me less likely to make up cuss words when painting anything.

| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
New Delhi [India], Feb. 7(ANI): The Supreme Court on Tuesday will hear the plea filed by Fox Star Studios, the makers of the Bollywood film, "Jolly LLB-2," challenging the Bombay High Court order, which had ordered a three-member committee to watch the movie and submit a report. Petitioner Ajaykumar Waghmare had filed a petition in the Bombay High Court alleging that certain scenes in the movie illegally depict the judiciary and the legal professional in a poor light. After hearing his plea, the High Court had directed three-member committee to watch the movie and submit a report. He had prayed that the word 'LLB' be dropped from the title of the movie and the scenes depicting the profession in bad light be deleted. Earlier in the day, the Aurangabad bench of the Bombay High Court ordered the deletion of four scenes in Jolly LLB 2 - a scene where a scared judge is hiding behind the chair, another where a shoe is hurled, a scene with objectionable signalling and dialogues in an argument scene have to be modified. Earlier, the Supreme Court had stated that it will let the Bombay High Court decide first. In 2013 also, the original Jolly LLB, starring Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani, faced the same problems from lawyers in Meerut.(ANI) The Akshay Kumar and Huma Qureshi starrer movie which is a sequel of 2013, Jolly LLB movie is scheduled to be released on February 10.

Discovering and falling in love with a new place on one's travels is akin to the purest forms of happiness known to us. I was recently reminded of this on my trip to Chitral, Ayun and onwards to Kalash, to attend the annual Chillum Joshi festival, held by the Kalashi people to celebrate the coming of spring, and to venerate the deities for protecting them. The women and men also take part in a very interesting courtship ritual which involves dancing in groups and harmonising their voices to make an oddly-beautiful yet eerie sound. The sound of shuffling bodies in rhythm with the drum beat with their voices ululating was almost mesmerising.
The increase in tourism has led to increased awareness about the Kalash community, and as always, people in general are always hostile to something they do not understand. The first example of this came to me in the shape of an army sentry, standing at a checkpost some ways before Lowari Top. The checkpost itself is nothing surprising, because one sees over twenty-five of these (both military and police) on the way to Chitral, and then of course some more, en route to Chitral. When we were stopped to identify ourselves, we were asked the usual questions of where we were from and what our destination was. Upon hearing Chitral, the army guard said, "And then Kaafiristan (Kalash)? Why are you going there? What is there to see? Those infidels, the kaafirs? There is nothing there. You will see yourself."
While the words themselves might be misconstrued as friendly banter by some (although why that's the case, I can't imagine), his tone certainly wasn't, or the disdain on his face. After checking our ID cards, he later informed us that he was from Punjab too. I was not surprised.
When we visited Ramboor the first day, we immediately saw the effects of tourism around us. Travelling companions that had visited on previous occasions told us that the streets were not always swamped with police officers or tourists; in 2013, there was absolutely no police presence in either of the villages. The entry and exit point was guarded by an army checkpost and nothing more. The reason for this extra security is two-fold; Zarb-e-Azb was focused on areas bordering Afghanistan, and Dir and Chitral are both on that list. Now that they have been cleared out, the army does not want to risk losing control of the area. Even now, with a stringent watch, militants prop up from this region every other month or so. Secondly, the number of Kalashi people left is thinning out. Supposedly containing traces of Greek lineage through Alexander the Great's army when he passed through here, there are approximately only 3000 Kalash left. And since the valley is their only home, any potential damage to this small community will be irrevocable. There have been threats from the terrorists, who see this small group of people as pagans and want them wiped off this 'pure' land.
Ask any traveller and they will tell you that the people that belong to the place are obviously a crucial portion of the time spent in a new place. As a tourist, sightseeing is only one part of the experience. Immersing yourself in the culture and traditions is important, but this must be done in an unobtrusive way. The tourist should at no point become invasive, or seek to impact the environment in any way. The point is not to 'consume' but to observe and look for understanding. I should have realised on the way there, of the damage we are causing to the people as tourists, simply by visiting in droves. I visited two villages of the Kalash people on my journey, Ramboor and Bamboorat. People from all over the country had come to witness the spectacle as well.
The crowd was thicker than the people participating. Not only that, but people were jostling other members of the audience, pushing and shoving each other, so much so that there were times when the dancers had nowhere to go. It came to a point where an elderly Kalash woman grabbed a baton and threatened to bash the rowdy onlookers with it. There were other tourists that were seemingly mocking the sounds made by those involved in the festival, and had to be reprimanded for not even attempting to understand a vastly different culture. In the vibrant colours of the Kalashi people, I saw people from other places sticking out like a sore thumb.
This is not to ignore or undermine the myriad benefits of tourism. In areas such as Chitral, the people get isolated from the rest of the world with the advent of winter. This, coupled with the weather conditions makes it very tough to make a living, or at least enough food to feed the whole family. Tourism is often the only source of income for many families in the region. Many in Kalash for instance, use the revenue generated through sales at the Chillum Joshi festival in spring to stock up with rations for the winter as well. Traditional dresses worn by the women of the area was being sold for as much as Rs20,000 when I was there last month.
There are gains to be made from developing the tourism industry in the north of Pakistan. But as tourists we also have a responsibility to keep our intrusions to ourselves, to bear witness to the spectacle but try and blend into the surroundings, instead of obnoxiously making the locals feel unwelcome in their own homes. The central principle behind travelling is to broaden one's horizons, and if one has already decided to close themselves off to what they are witnessing, it is better that they stay at home.

Morning Briefing: FX Levels, Cooling Economic Figures Eyed
By Sean Carney and Veronika Gulyas
Friday should end the week quietly with countries in the region reporting foreign exchange reserves, while a minor slowdown should be seen in Czech retail sales in March and in Hungarian industrial output in April.
In Hungary, the central statistics office will publish April's industrial output data, which the majority of analysts expect to see in the double-digit territory in annual growth terms–although this month's increase is expected to be somewhat below March's annual growth.
Output is still seen high on continuous solid exports mainly to Germany, Erste Bank analyst Zoltan Arokszallasi said, noting that the country's domestic demand remains relatively low.
In Prague, the Czech prime minister and finance minister will be at an event and may discuss their efforts to overhaul the country's tax and pension systems.

The sustainable features of co-operatives make these organizations very attractive in the current economical circumstances. Co-operatives are successful and more and more organizations revitalize their co-operative origin or rediscover themselves. But it is not easy. Being part of a co-operative requires personal effort, every day.
Things may change. The co-operative as organizational form was always seen as the slow countryside nephew of urban businesses, which became rich quickly and were popular among investors. Co-operatives existed for people who worked with their hands: in the countryside, in the barn, in the greenhouse and sometimes in the factory. They worked together because of an enlightened self-interest; they needed each other. A dying race, especially in the Netherlands, land of (financial) services. Until the financial crisis arose in 2008. Five years later, we still find ourselves in a global instability with no end in sight. Trust is low, the distance between organizations and customers is great and the ones who are responsible are being hunted. Internally, the search for ways to address the individual responsibility, ownership and entrepreneurship of employees in order to re-establish connection with customers has begun. Features that are present in co-operatives. And guess what? Co-operatives have never disappeared. A large part of the Dutch organizations are co-operatives. There are a lot of them, in all sorts and forms: traditional – like growers who jointly offer their harvest – and modern – like freelancers who offer their services together or healthcare co-operatives: citizens' initiatives that thrive on solidarity and taking care of each other. Companies in the financial services, insurance companies and banks often also have co-operative roots. The Rabobank is the most successful example in the Netherlands. Co-operatives show that they are sustainable and stable in times of uncertainty and crisis. They radiate solidarity and responsibility. The co-operative as an organizational form is suddenly modern and is seen as an important response to the disappearing relationship between organization, customers and society. The United Nations have even proclaimed 2012 the year of co-operatives. Co-operatives are alive; a winning recipe at first sight. Is this true? Is the co-operative model indeed the ideal model to secure our economical future? What do co-operatives teach other companies and organizations? What is the core? We asked a number of co-operatives or organizations with a co-operative tendency: Frido Kraanen of pension provider PGGM, Kees Gielen of dairy-produce giant FrieslandCampina, Philip Smits of fruit and vegetable company The Greenery, Dirk Duijzer of Rabobank Nederland, Leendert Eijgenraam of flower auction Flora Holland.
Nobody is invisible in a co-operative
Transparency is the core of every co-operative. Common interest brought people together in a co-operative which has enough power to ensure the individual interest of each member. Members therefore want to be informed. They want to see what the co-operative is doing for them and they want to see what other members bring in. Thus, decisions and procedures are transparent. Nobody is invisible and that promotes unity.
'The co-operative board is the shareholder at PGGM. The members' council is the supreme body. She appoints people to be board members and management clarifies its strategic decisions. It is important that everybody continues to see the simplicity of what it was created for. For example, a members' council simply has to see to it that an organization keeps doing what it was created for.' (Frido Kraanen, Director Cooperative PGGM)
The ability to connect with members is very important for the success of a co-operative. Transparency brings with it that the co-operative is a very vibrant organizational form that demands a lot of all stakeholders, like entrepreneurship, ownership, responsibility and personal leadership. But also the ability to connect people with attention and direct contact.
'You do have to manage your followers and that may cost a little more time than in a listed company. For example, we organize 80 meetings in which we explain and clarify the financial statements, each at another place and with other members. We divide those meetings among ourselves. I myself am responsible for 21 of them. Is it fun? And is it useful? Yes, it certainly is. Members are asking critical questions and they keep you alert. That is what makes my job challenging. What a difference with a listed company. There you only speak face to face with a stock analyst.' (Kees Gielen, CFO FrieslandCampina)
Where companies serve the interest of a relatively small group of shareholders, within co-operatives the principle of enlightened self-interest applies. And that requires a lot of action. The unity of the collective must be continuously maintained. Individual members always balance between self-interest and the interest of the group. Although there is room for this in a co-operative, at the same time the self-cleaning mechanism applies: members who neglect their duty are addressed by other members. This causes enormous dynamics… and sharpness.
'Growers are members on an individual basis but they are mutually clustered per product. Every fruit or vegetable grower can become a member of the co-operative. Funding is collectively provided by members. These are long-term contracts which in the eyes of the bank represent the continuity of the co-operative. Growers are becoming larger, in size and in quality. Nowadays most of them are graduates of Wageningen. The climate is commercialized, but loyalty still exists; the emotional bonding with Greenery is great. However, a good price should be realized.' (Philip Smits, General Manager The Greenery BV)
Connection with members and with customers
'Every product committee of members is supported by someone of our company. Within Flora Holland, 35 managers fulfill this role of sponsor and coach. These managers spend 10 percent of their time between the company and the members. The co-operative idea, connection with members, is shaped in a very concrete way by this.' (Leendert Eijgenraam, Concern Manager Legal Affairs and Co-operative Flora Holland)
The connection between co-operatives and members is large. And if those members are also your customers, then there is a degree of connection that many private companies would envy.
'Our information flow is quick and adequate. We use an online panel of 4,000 members on whom we can call quickly. In addition, we survey 300,000 people (out of 580,000 members) four times a year. We receive 10.000 to 20.000 responses each time. Another very valuable source of information is our call center. We still own the primary call center.' (Frido Kraanen, PGGM)
'In 2008, when the crisis arose, we experienced a brief period in which it came to the pinch. For two weeks, people wanted to withdraw their money from the bank. They came to the desk and asked if they could take their money in a bag, so to speak. We had to hit the brakes real hard in order to not deflate. We called on all banks to organize meetings with their members as soon as possible. Within a week, we had spoken 100.000 people across the country. That was the turning point. Following these conversations and discussions with members we quickly returned to a level of trust and money only entered our bank. That intervention saved us. At that moment, we saw with what speed you are able to mobilize your followers within a co-operative. We know everyone by name. We stayed in the field, together with our members and customers. But there was more going on. There are co-operative banks, for example in Spain, which did experience hard times. They could not keep their money in because they used profit distribution. We have a completely different dividend policy, we do not pay. The money that entered therefore remained inside our bank.' (Dirk Duijzer, Director Co-operative, Governance and Sustainability Rabobank Nederland)
Transparency and connection only thrive in the right culture
Transparency and connection are made possible by the organizational structure in co-operatives. There are committees, advisory bodies, often very intensive and dense. This would mean that private companies may also use this structure. We asked each of our interviewees this and the answer was always: you could copy the governance structure and goals, but not the success. The success is namely within the people themselves – in their values – to make cooperation within a co-operative successful. The culture of an organization therefore mainly determines whether connection and transparency will lead to success.
'Our model is difficult to copy. Of course, core values of most banks are interchangeable. However, our philosophy is extremely rooted, more than with other banks. Our mission is to let our customers be able to operate independently and we need people who understand this mission. My concern therefore is not that other banks will imitate us. I am much more concerned whether we will find the right people who are suitable to work for our bank.' (Dirk Duijzer, Rabobank Nederland)
'We are a fusion of blood groups, normal people with a great sense for our product. I myself am the son of a gardener. Our values are courage, clarity, sustainable entrepreneurship and service. Our mentality is a mix of service and relation management on the one hand and speed and dynamics of daily trade on the other. It is a dual mentality: prolonged debating with our members and daily actions. Flora Holland brings those dynamics together. We are the extension of our members. This is only possible in a co-operative. We do not have a profit target, it comes to equality. The clock, the auction, the game: it remains the place of the entrepreneur.' (Leendert Eijgenraam, Flora Holland)
'As an employee of a co-operative you should be receptive to the opinions of members: be aware who you are doing it for. Furthermore, modesty is important: you should be able to consider yourself to be a servant. Customers or member sometimes consider other values important. You cannot seclude yourself from that. A third feature is that the customer is not king. Customers or members are equivalent to the organization, you have a shared interest'. (Frido Kraanen, PGGM)
Co-operatives create stability
A co-operative enterprise beholds the ability to better coordinate various stimuli. This grows confidence and creates stability. As quick profit is not a primary goal, a co-operative is able to aim for the long term. There are no external funders who demand fast results. The funders are members. They are loyal and willing to think about the balance between tightness in the short term and results in the long term. Members will not take huge risks because they are funders themselves. They often have not brought in their money to make profit but to create preservation. Members are therefore much longer involved with the co-operative. The result is that co-operatives are less capricious than private enterprises. Although co-operatives will go less sky high during a boom, they have a dampening effect during a recession.
'A listed company is much more volatile because of the stock-exchange quotation. This in turn has a great impact on the conduct of the management team. A co-operative has less to do with politics than a listed company. There is also a better balance between the long and the short term within a co-operative. There is great attention for adding value in the long term. A shareholder remains in a listed company for three months on average. Then he walks out again. With us, people are members for 45 years on average. You must realize that they are part of the business for much longer than you are. And they often know the company better. You should not be playing games with them. They force you to be transparent and that is sometimes very confronting. Members also have vast knowledge of people. They observe you, feel you. They see through you straight away.' (Kees Gielen, FrieslandCampina)
'The crisis of 2008 acted as a wake-up call: a co-operative is not without obligations. Just as Raiffeisen had intended. I think we as Rabobank should be strict. A membership is reciprocal: you help each other and are loyal to each other and work hard for each other. We did not let our customers fall, we stayed in the field, we sought out for our customers and talked with each other. Well, talked… in many cases they were just angry. Their anger was directed against the bank. That makes you vulnerable. But vulnerability gives strength. We have had many discussions and learned a lot from each other. The membership policy proved to be a vital link for the bank. That should always be the starting point in a co-operative: members are the vital link. In line with this view, you should also dare to differentiate: not everyone is worthy to become a member and if people leave the bank you should actually not want them back inside for the coming five years.'(Dirk Duijzer, Rabobank Nederland)
Co-operatives have a huge competitive force
If connection and stability exist, then there will be synergy and this has a strengthening effect. It is here that the principle that members are able to achieve goals together that they would never achieve individually comes into force. This also applies to co-operatives constituted from vulnerability, like insurance companies or pension funds. These co-operatives seek to protect their members as good as possible in case of illness, accidents and for their pension. The agricultural part of SMEs in the Netherlands – the only manufacturing industry left and the most important export product of the Netherlands – is for the most part co-operatively organized as well. Because the cost-price is extremely high in the Netherlands, the collectivity of the co-operative – by cutting costs and increasing effectiveness – makes that this sector can still be competitive. And innovative.
'The Netherlands excel at perfecting co-operatives. Thirty to forty years ago, growers in the Netherlands already realized that production in other parts of the world would only increase. The question was: should we allow those flowers and plants at the auction in the Netherlands? The answer is simple: yes. Sooner or later they will enter the market anyway so if they do so, it better be through us. 10 percent of our members are foreigners now.' (Leendert Eijgenraam, Flora Holland)
'In the developed societies, there is need for a banking model that combines long-term strategy with a short-term shareholders strategy. There is a need for a model that does not pay dividends. That is exactly what we are doing.' (Dirk Duijzer, Rabobank Nederland)
'Product developing, packing techniques: a lot of innovation exists in this sector. The co-operative plays a stimulating role in this. We are in what Michaeal Porter describes as 'the power of the cluster'. The whole supply chain is close together and very transparent. Thereby, innovations spread rapidly. The neighbour is watching, sees how things can be done differently and wants that as well. It is as simple as that. But it does work as a catalyst! The co-operative perpetuates, manages and stimulates that model. There is a natural symbiosis. For example, a new way to grow lettuce is discovered: growing in ponds, according to the Dry Hydroponic technique. Rainwater is collected and reused and the water tanks of the ponds are ergonomically adapted. With this method, eight times as much lettuce can be grown on the same amount of hectare without burdening the soil.' (Philip Smits, The Greenery BV)
Social value: beneficial side effect but not an end in itself
The first modern co-operatives were largely founded in response to threatening social or economical abuses and had an emancipatory function. Vulnerable people united themselves to create an economically solid position. Social value has never been a goal of co-operatives. It is however a beneficial side effect that responds to a current need among consumers, namely creating social value.
'The spirit of the age has adapted to the co-operative, not vice versa. But the co-operative too must continue to develop. Where originally the economical joining forces were central (the enlightened self-interest), it is increasingly about creating social value in modern co-operative entrepreneurship.' (Frido Kraanen, PGGM)
"Our core values need an accurate translation in practice. The Anglo-Saxon model which most of us are trained and educated in does not hold for the Rabobank. Diversity is our starting point and with that I mean the autonom y of the 139 local Rabobanks in our country. They all have their own identity and adjust their policies to local circumstances. This more or less yields 139 different models. The banks themselves decide what they will do with their money. For example, 138 of the 139 banks voluntary contribute to our microcredit projects in the Third World. We do not push them to do so. And that one bank deliberately made the choice to choose and guide its own projects. Yes, from a central point of view something like ICT will therefore be more expensive. But uniformity is not a goal for us, we do not consider that to be profit.'(Dirk Duijzer, Rabobank Nederland)
In the end, the politics will not get us out of the crisis. The key to the solution of the crisis lies in the hands of entrepreneurs. Especially in the hands of entrepreneurship that besides creating sustainable value also takes responsibility for the development of the community for which they work. The co-operative takes many forms. Each co-operative designs that responsibility in its own way. And every company, however small or big, may learn from this. With the proclamation of 2012 as the international year of co-operatives the United Nations underline the importance of the co-operative as an organizational form for the world economy. Moreover, the co-operative fits the spirit of individualism on the one hand and the will to cooperate on the other. The structure of co-operatives helps to engage people so they can defend their own interests. At the same time, members of co-operatives should realize that the group interest also serves the self-interest. Solidarity is an important characteristic. You are always connected with others and you play an active role in this. As said before, co-operatives are very vibrant organizations in which nobody is invisible. This creates stability and growth and that creates connection with each other. It is about the creation of value for the individual, for the organization and for society. As to that, other organizations may learn a lot from co-operatives. Attention to the organization structure and especially the organization culture enlarges entrepreneurship, responsibility and focus of employees. This will lead to transparence and innovation. The current crisis shows that such a change of mentality will become increasingly necessary for organizations. Consumers are becoming more vocal and critical and will increasingly demand more of organizations to whom they trust their money and services. Information spreads faster than ever and excesses are punished more quickly. Without the ability to connect people to them, organizations will have more trouble to be successful in the future. Who opens the door for customers? Who is prepared to improve the organization that they work for every day? And are you – as a customer – prepared to get up and actively help your supplier?
'We are not by ourselves but we are part of the economic system. So we also feel the pain of the crisis. A co-operative is never a safe haven. You have to work at it every day.' (Dirk Duijzer, Rabobank Nederland)

Gas and electric patio heaters can allow you to enjoy your outdoor space for a longer part of the year. But which heater type is right for you? Read on to find out.
Gas Patio Heaters
Gas patio heaters can use either Natural Gas (NG) or Liquid Propane (LP). Both have similar heat outputs, and the choice between them is usually determined by what fuel is available in your area. Gas heaters are also often sleeker in appearance than electric heaters.
Gas heaters can never be installed in a fully enclosed patio, because they can cause carbon monoxide buildup. They also require proper clearances to combustible materials, as determined by the manufacturer.
Natural Gas (NG) Patio Heaters
If you have NG available, you can hire a certified professional to connect your NG patio heater to your home's gas supply. Once it's connected, you'll never have to refill your heater. NG heaters are cheaper to run than LP and electric patio heaters, though they might cost more up front. They're a great choice if you're looking for simplicity and convenience after the initial installation.
Liquid Propane (LP) Gas Patio Heaters
Some LP gas patio heater are completely portable, with their fuel source being a propane tank hidden in their base. Other LP models come in small sizes that can be placed on a table. While LP might be more expensive than NG, LP heaters can be a great choice if you're looking for portability and easy installation.
Electric Patio Heaters
Electric patio heaters offer plenty of options for custom heat coverage. They come in sizes ranging from only a couple feet wide, all the way up to about 63 inches—so you're sure to find something that will fit perfectly with your space.
They also offer capacities for every situation—from 1500W up to 6000W—and their controls include switches, timers, dimmers, motion sensors, and remotes.
The strongest advantage of electric patio heaters is that you can create different heating zones by connecting multiple heaters to one control panel. The exact number of heaters that you can control depends on your setup.
When installing electric patio heaters, it's important to hire a professional. Improper wiring can lead to a fire hazard.
Woodland Direct can help you design the perfect heating plan for your outdoor area. Just call our Master Hearth Professionals at 800.919.1904.

I have been on the hunt got these Wet n Wild Megaglo Highlighting Powders for exactly a year now. I could not find them anywhere last year. If Wet n Wild restocked they would sell out real quick, so I stood no chance. So I will say I kind of gave up on finding these Wet n Wild Megaglo Highlighting Powders.
Highlighters are still hard to find at the drugstore, or let me rather say a good quality highlighter. Wet n Wild did an amazing job on these. The formula is on point and can we just talk about how gorgeous these look. Such a beautiful leaf pattern embossed into the powder. Yes, it broke my heart when I started using these (insert crying face emoji)
I know a lot of beauty lovers might already have these. I am also sure some beauty lovers are still on the look out for these or don't even know that these amazing highlighters are available at the drugstore. We all know that the drugstore lacks having any good highlighters. But, Wet n Wild have some major winners here.
Precious Petals has been the one that has sold out the most. So I think it is only fitting that I start talking about it first. I definitely prefer Precious Petal over Crown of My Canopy. Just because it works a little better with my skin tone. I also prefer my highlighters to be a bit more of a golden shade. It has a pink-ish golden under tone. Even though it reminds me alot of Becca's Opal. Which is probably my all time favourite highlighter.
Crown of My Canopy, is the darkest of the two highlighting shades. It pulls towards a more peachy bronze shade. It is very unique to my collection, since I don't own anything thing like it in my collection. I did various swatches and nothing looked remotely similar. This would be a great highlighter for anyone with a deeper skin tone.
I honestly think you can own both just to see which one of these highlighters would work better on your skin.
Above you can see the swatches of these gorgeous highlighters. These Wet n Wild Megaglo Highlighting Powders are super pigmented, soft, and easy to pick up with not a lot of fallout. They go on so smooth with no chunky glitter particles, reminding me of much higher-end formulas. Great thing is they cost a a fraction of some of the higher end highlighters. I prefer using them with my Anastasia Beverly Hills Highlighting Brush (A23) when applying these gorgeous highlighters.
I was able to find the Wet n Wild Megaglo Highlighting Powders at Walgreens. They retail for R4.99

I love how this visualization lets you experience the Toccata and Fugue in a new way:
And these next two are awesome videos from the visual art perspective (if not from the musical perspective–i could take or leave the songs…)

The picture above is a perfect depiction of halloween…somewhat spooky, somewhat intriguing, somewhat cozy. It's from Jacek Yerka's collection of artwork. I love this kind of thing: odd, fantastical, extremely detailed, fantasy, subconscious, symbolic…it takes quite a while to notice everything that's in the picture, and you're never quite sure what it means, but somehow it's like your own dreamscape, and it feels like it makes sense.
Hostess with the Mostess has a few posts on a bunch of halloween goodies for entertaining in the spirit of the holiday…I especially like the ceramic pumpkin lanterns…the ghost tealight holders…the cookies and chocolates…the black twig candles…and the various plates…
Martha Stewart also has a really neat alternative idea to silly jack-o-lanterns: lace-carved pumpkins. Beautiful! (But somewhat ridiculous! There's no way those of us who have normal lives could afford the time it would take to make one of these…Damn you, Martha!)
Feeling a little hungry? How about some snacks?
And check out this cute little guy!

Free Market Missionaries : The Corporate Manipulation of Community Values EPUB
by Sharon Beder
In her recent book Suiting Themselves, bestselling author Sharon Beder exposed how the global corporate elite have brazenly rewritten the rules of the global economy to line their pockets.
In this new book she trains her sights on the insidious underbelly of this global trend to show how they have also orchestrated a mass propaganda campaign to manipulate community values and convince us that their interest - co-opting and controlling all of us in the name of the free market - is in our interest. During the 20th century, business associations coordinated mass propaganda campaigns combining 20th century American PR methods with revitalized free market ideology from 18th century Europe.
The aim was to persuade people to eschew their own power as workers and citizens, and forego their democratic power to restrain and regulate business activity.
Sophisticated corporate-funded think tanks augmented these campaigns in the 1970s and 1980s, promoting free enterprise and business-friendly policies. Thesefree market missionaries now seek to change individual and institutional values through bolder strategies such as expanding share ownership and manipulating wider public concerns.
In each case the goal is the same: the triumph of business values over community values.
Beder's is an intellectual call to arms: challenge the ideology of the free market missionaries or be converted to it.

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)– The Israeli Interior Ministry and the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) at dawn on Friday deported six Palestinian citizens from Occupied Jerusalem to the U.S. 33-year-old Kareem Faysal Abu Khdheir, who was banned from Occupied Jerusalem and deported to the U.S., said as he spoke by phone from the Lod Airport: "I was transferred from the Negev jail to the airport on Thursday morning. The Israeli occupation authorities claimed the flight was scheduled for five p.m. on Thursday before they updated me that it was delayed for six a.m. on Friday." "I was locked up in the airport detention center with five other detainees. Each one of us was allowed to make one phone call only to update his family on the deportation order," he added. Kareem, from the Shu'fat refugee camp, was arrested by the Israeli occupation forces on September 5, 2015 following clashes with the occupation troops. Right before the detention, Kareem was subjected to heavy beating by the IOF and sustained critical bruises in his chest, face, and teeth. The IOA extended his remand several times despite his deteriorated health status. Deliberations and hearings held by the Israeli Magistrate's court over the past four months culminated in a verdict that condemned Abu Khdheir, a holder of American citizenship, of involvement in Jerusalem demonstrations and sentenced him to nine months and a fine of 8,000 shekels. Born and raised in the U.S. since October 2, 1983, Kareem Abu Khdheir popped in the occupied Palestinian territories on August 28, 2015 for the first time to get married. He had been held for nine months in the Negev jail on allegations of resisting detention, attacking an Israeli border guard, and joining anti-occupation demos. "Someday I shall return to my motherland, from which I was banned because I attended my friend's funeral," said Abu Khdheir. "Someday I shall come back and live on Palestine's soil for eternity," Abu Khdheir added as he bid farewell to his family.

My dog's fenced in yard experienced a breach of security this week after the gate was left wide open.
We had our yard sprayed for pests and the worker forgot to close the gate behind him.
This is something I usually double check when anyone works in our yard. But sometimes life gets in the way and it slipped my mind.
When I let my dogs out later that afternoon only one came back when I opened the door and called them.
I was first panicked and then furious with myself for forgetting to double check the gate. Although it should be a reasonable expectation to have your yard and home left as it was found if someone needs to work on your property. People are only human and mistakes are made.
But to all of the workers who must enter someone's yard for any number of reasons: meter reading, pest control, yard work, AC repair, the list goes on… Please, please try remember to shut and latch the gate behind you.
This small step will keep dog mommas (and little kid mommas) everywhere grateful.
Thankfully, I found my advantage-taking dog frolicking only a street over. He was hot and thirsty but otherwise unharmed. And for that I am truly grateful.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court agreed on Friday to decide whether the Trump administration may add a question about citizenship to the 2020 census questionnaire that will be sent to every household in the nation.
The court's move added a highly charged and consequential blockbuster to what had been a fairly sleepy term. The justices have mostly avoided controversy while they adjusted to the new conservative majority created by the arrival in the fall of Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh.
The federal government has long gathered information about citizenship, but since 1950, it has not included a question on it in the forms sent once a decade to each household. Last month, a federal trial judge blocked the Commerce Department from adding the question, saying that the process that led to the decision was deeply flawed.
The Supreme Court stepped in before any appeals court had ruled on the matter, and it put the case on an unusually fast track. The Supreme Court's speed was almost certainly a result of a looming deadline — the census forms are set to be printed in June.
Without immediate action from the court, the solicitor general, Noel J. Francisco, told the justices, "the government will be disabled for a decade from obtaining citizenship data through an enumeration of the entire population."
The Supreme Court scheduled arguments for late April, and it is expected to rule before the end of June.
The case — United States Department of Commerce v. New York, No. 18-966 — is the latest test of the scope of executive power in the Trump era. Last year, the justices upheld President Trump's authority to restrict travel from several predominantly Muslim countries. More recently, the court rejected the administration's request to reinstate a ban on asylum claims by immigrants who cross the southern border illegally.
On Friday, Mr. Trump said he expected his declaration of a national emergency to build a border wall to be challenged in court. He predicted that the administration would lose in the lower courts but prevail in the Supreme Court.
The census case has its roots in the text of the Constitution, which requires an "actual enumeration" every 10 years, with the House of Representatives to be apportioned based on "the whole number of persons in each state."
"By its terms, therefore, the Constitution mandates that every 10 years the federal government endeavor to count every single person residing in the United States, whether citizen or noncitizen, whether living here with legal status or without," Judge Jesse M. Furman of the Federal District Court in Manhattan wrote last month in his decision, setting out the consensus view.
Critics say that adding the question on citizenship would undermine the accuracy of the census because both legal and unauthorized immigrants might refuse to fill out the forms. By one government estimate, about 6.5 million people might decide not to participate.
That could reduce Democratic representation when congressional districts are drawn in 2021 and affect the distribution of hundreds of billions of dollars in federal spending. Judge Furman found that were the question added, Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, New York and Texas would risk losing seats in the House and that several states could lose federal money.
Dale Ho, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union, which challenged the addition of the citizenship question, said that it "would cause incalculable damage to our democracy."
"The evidence presented at trial exposed this was the Trump administration's plan from the get-go," Mr. Ho said.
Wilbur Ross, the commerce secretary, has said that he ordered the question to be added in response to a December 2017 request from the Justice Department, which said that data about citizenship would help it enforce the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
In a detailed decision after an eight-day trial, Judge Furman concluded that Mr. Ross had dissembled, saying that "the evidence is clear that Secretary Ross's rationale was pretextual."
"While the court is unable to determine — based on the existing record, at least — what Secretary Ross's real reasons for adding the citizenship question were, it does find, by a preponderance of the evidence, that promoting enforcement of the" Voting Rights Act, or V.R.A., "was not his real reason for the decision," Judge Furman wrote. "Instead, the court finds that the V.R.A. was a post hoc rationale for a decision that the secretary had already made for other reasons."
Judge Furman had called for Mr. Ross to be questioned under oath, but the Supreme Court blocked that order in October. Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, said the court should have gone further, shutting down all pretrial fact-gathering in the census case. Justice Gorsuch added that there was no indication of bad faith in Mr. Ross's conduct.
"There's nothing unusual about a new cabinet secretary coming to office inclined to favor a different policy direction, soliciting support from other agencies to bolster his views, disagreeing with staff or cutting through red tape," Justice Gorsuch wrote at the time. "Of course, some people may disagree with the policy and process. But until now, at least, this much has never been thought enough to justify a claim of bad faith and launch an inquisition into a cabinet secretary's motives."
In November, the Supreme Court rejected a request from the Trump administration to halt the trial, over the dissents of Justices Thomas, Gorsuch and Samuel A. Alito Jr.
In his ruling last month, Judge Furman relied on evidence in the so-called administrative record, meaning the materials the government said Mr. Ross had considered before making his decision.
Evidence presented at the trial showed that Mr. Ross had wanted to add the question long before the request from the Justice Department. The letter from the Justice Department, Judge Furman wrote, was an attempt "to launder their request through another agency — that is, to obtain cover for a decision that they had already made."
Documents disclosed in the case showed that Mr. Ross had discussed the citizenship issue early in his tenure with Stephen K. Bannon, the former White House chief strategist and an architect of the Trump administration's tough policies against immigrants, and that Mr. Ross had met at Mr. Bannon's direction with Kris Kobach, the former Kansas secretary of state and a vehement opponent of unlawful immigration.
"In a startling number of ways," Judge Furman wrote, "Secretary Ross's explanations for his decision were unsupported by, or even counter to, the evidence before the agency."
Judge Furman ruled that the administration had violated federal statutes. But he rejected a constitutional challenge based on equal protection principles, saying that there was not enough evidence in the record to conclude that Mr. Ross had intended to discriminate against minorities and unauthorized immigrants.
The lawsuit challenging the addition of the question was filed by New York, other states, localities and advocacy groups. They said that asking the question was a calculated effort by the administration to discriminate against immigrants.
"Adding a question about citizenship to the census would incite widespread fear in immigrant communities and greatly impair the accuracy of population counts," Letitia James, New York's attorney general, said on Friday after the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case.
In urging the Supreme Court to review Judge Furman's decision, Mr. Francisco, representing the Trump administration, wrote that Mr. Ross had wide discretion over the census that could not be second-guessed by courts. He added that questions about citizenship have often been asked of at least a sample of the population in many earlier censuses and are commonplace in ones conducted by other developed democracies.

Good day to you, southern Vermonters! This past Monday was certainly a dynamic and severe weather day.
Several wall clouds and funnel clouds were reported in Northampton, Granby, and Belchertown, Mass., and Durham, N.H., and an EF-0 tornado touched down in northern New Hampshire! There were also multiple wind damage reports around Windham County.
Anyway, it was a rough day, and we got very lucky that tornadoes didn't actually touch down in Windham County! The next seven days looks much calmer, so let's jump into the details!
For Wednesday, a fairly dry cold front will be dropping south out of Canada and move through the region from north to south. This will create partly sunny skies on average, with clouds hopefully holding off until later in the day. Expect highs in the mid to upper 70s and lows in the mid 50s under partly cloudy skies.
For Thursday, high pressure will slide through New England, and bring sunny skies with it with highs in the mid 70s and lows in the upper 40s. With very low dewpoint temperatures expected in the upper 30s, we will enjoy gorgeous night time weather for sleeping!
For Friday, high pressure will slide east off of the New England coastline and allow us to warm up into the upper 70s to low 80s with continued sunny skies and lower humidity. Lows should drop into the mid 50s with clouds increasing overnight into early Saturday morning.
For Saturday, we will still enjoy partly sunny skies, but more moisture will be advecting into the region, causing clouds to build overhead. Meanwhile, an area of low pressure will track north of our region and drape a west-southwesterly-to-east-northeasterly oriented cold front into southern Vermont.
This will serve to focus moisture, lift and converging air to produce showers Saturday afternoon and evening, with some thunderstorms possible. Expect highs in the upper 70s and lows in the upper 50s. Showers and scattered thunderstorms will be possible again on Sunday with highs in the upper 70s and lows in the upper 50s.
By Monday, the front will be cleared to our south and east, and we will enjoy high pressure, sunny skies and highs in the low to mid 70s both days with lows near 50 degrees. Have a great week, and Happy Solstice!
