Dateline: Lethbridge, Alberta Canada- 9-9-2019
As you would have observed my Dateline has changed. I am writing from Lethbridge Alberta, Canada, about two and half hours drive from Calgary. My original plan today was to write about Xenophobia as recently provoked in South Africa – a serious a global phenomenon, but now being reduced to a regional issue. Don't worry. In a small contribution published earlier, I advised against mob retaliation against South Africa in Nigeria, destruction of their business or nationalization of their outfits.Truly the South Africa youth have been ungrateful to Nigeria but they should be forgiven In the manner of Jesus Christ because "they know not what they do". They lack due knowledge and understanding of the sacrifice Nigeria made for their freedom. Nigerians had suffered enough for South Africa& co. The nationalization of their enterprises will hurt our economy the more. We shall return to this later for now let me say a word or more about Lethbridge in continuation of our dialogue on nation building.
Lethbridge seems to me a mountainous or hilly area with very extensive green fields. The hills what they call "coolies" are natural. The vast green field is the outcome of dedicated human efforts. Such human touch made town really beautiful .Lethbridge can be described as an education city with a famous university where my daughter is studying.At Calgary I was made to understand that Lethbridge was a rural place. But what I have seen so far is far beyond rural settlement. In short it is true that I have not really gone round the town fully they say is rural but l can report that I have not seen what makes it a rural place because it has all the economic features such as banks big shops and social amenities of the big cities- a very functional public service that keeps public utilities- electricity, water, housing, telecommunications roads ,law and order especially on the road working fine. The towns North America are almost same in terms infrastructure and attended by regular maintenance. In a word what I see here is that man can urbanize his rural areas by wearing it some urban apparels. Given its mountains,hills and valleys, it must have been pretty difficult to build these wide roads and other big structures here. I am impressed with the the human imagination and efforts that conquered nature here and fascinated by the outcome . Nigerians can do as well.
Oh my God, I am seeing a very well kept cemetery- all green from one end to the other
And there are people with flowers to lay on the sides of the graves of their loved ones. But are the dead aware of the visits of the living? Not sure but people are there to show love and perhaps keep company…. It makes meaning to them otherwise they would be visiting. I am deeply fascinated first by its solemn beauty and curious about its true nature because of its tourist value. It is like a tourist destination given the large number of people streaming in not to bury but to bond spiritually with the departed souls. I moved to its entrance and read the instructions one which forbids the entry into the the cemetery at night. Let their souls rest in peace. And I went into reflection.
I confess. The cemetery like the mortuary has always had both humbling and inspiring effect on me. This is not different. Now I am reflecting and searching for the real meaning f life. Why are we wicked, poor, and lack respect for the lives of other knowing that for all what we think we are the grave is the final destination. Oh thou pride and hatred vanish from thy sight. Those who think they own the world are advised to visit the cemetery, read some epitaphs to understand the essence of life- love and selfless service.
And those who are healthy but down because they think they are not doing well should also visit there to appreciate how lucky they are to be alive. Billionaires had gone below…. Why do we kill for power and wealth?
Don't blame me but I believe that the cemetery has some salutary effect and extra ordinary meaning for man. It reminds us that Life is a journey to our creator and we are nearer to where you're going to with every passing moment t. Thus we got to make some repairs , make sound decisions including forgiveness of sins against us, do more good work for which we 'll be remembered when we are gone. I have a feeling that armed robbers,terrorists, ritualist and such dangerous people could do self corrections by visiting the prison. It is not about age but about life well spent in the love and service of humanity.
There is always some kind of spiritual reinforcement especially on the need to lead good, and altruistic life. For me the cemetery is a toner, leveler, a pointer to the end of the road, a solemn reminder of the power of love as expressed on the epitaphs, the strong family and spiritual bond between the living and the dead, the continuing dialogue between the two, the closeness between death and life and and the need to be humble and to do the best while alive with the chilling knowledge that the cemetery is the final destination. Its cold awaits everyone -if one is lucky for one's body to be recovered from the angry, hostile and barbaric xenophobic attacks.
In Nigeria most of our cemeteries are bushy, dirty, unkempt and unattractive. The elite here In Lethbridge seem to have time to plan for everything including the interest of the dead and the unborn. At home we don't plan far enough. This is a serious problem.Truly the beauty of the cemetery is no use to the dead. It is for the joy and good health of the living.
The Lethbridge's cemetery is extremely fine..but I shall discuss it no more for as a friend reproached me many years ago when I exclaimed that the coffin conveying our friends home was beautiful:Don't hail the coffin and graveyard. They are gifts you don't want for yourself except you are a ritualist. 'I am not' I told him . 'Then why the hailing knowing that no matter how fine, they are end of time stuffs that many are unwilling to kiss. . .that remind you of your nothingness. My take here here is the humbling and salutary effects of the cemetery on the living. It seems to say: man do not be too proud of your achievements for I have equal space for both the poor and the rich, the high and the low and it is small- just 6by 6 feet. So learn to do good in the service of others for when you're gone and alone in the cemetery you'll only be remembered for the good you've done over there.This is the soberIng message from the grave yard to all comers.
On whole Lethbridge teaches us that man central to the development of his community no matter how difficult- it may seem initially .Who planted the green grass here especially over the hills? For sure I am impressed with the human imagination and efforts, the ingenuity of man, his technical, organizational and administrative skills and ability to establish the law and order and infrastructure that had made this place clean, beautiful and relatively safe to live. This is a call to action and for all hands on deck. We could start off small with even crude implement. As I have suggested elsewhere, the starting point could be environment cleaning.Henceforth I shall join efforts in cleaning and greening Nigeria because a clean and green environment is the hallmark of human development. And we have abundant human resource to do this today with basic tools – starting from our own corners of the the country.

A little confession:
I am completely incapable of reading one book at a time.
What is with that?
This morning I picked up my third book to read despite being at the start of two other books. It's not that I give up on a book (usually), it's just that what I am reading doesn't suit my mood or I feel it won't suit the occasion.
I started reading Jandy Nelson's 'I'll Give You The Sun' at home yesterday but I needed a different book to take with me to work. There is no way I can read such a good book on the train. I need something light and easy that won't make me cry because it makes me look like a loon when I lose my shit on public transport. So I picked up 'My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century' knowing it would be an easy read that wouldn't require emotional involvement.
Today I had a longer train ride and I thought there might be a chance that I would finish my book so I had to bring another! I went with the simple and non-huge 'A Game of Thrones'. I like a challenge. I am on the train for almost four hours so I need a big booksy. Fluffy romance just wasn't going to cut it. I am at the start of three different books and it is ridiculous. WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF?
Wish me luck in completing all three before the end of the month…

My thoughts are:
stay with my asacal 3 2x day
Ask for rowasa enemas but I am not sure of this?
use canasa in morning and rowasa at night?
then when symptoms are gone...taper? How?
Any thoughts!!
In a reply to one of your earlier posts I had mentioned that I didn't think you were tapering prednisone correctly, so maybe you should clarify with the specialist how he expects you to use prednisone and taper off it.
Rectal meds could help, but since you have just completed a short treatment on oral prednisone (a much stronger treatment) with only a slight effect, I am not sure that I would expect rectal meds to have much of an immediate effect - but, I suppose it's still worth a try, as you never know how your body will react till you try it. I agree with Tab that maybe your Asacol dosage needs to be increased.
I don't think you should completely avoid prednisone - if it's applied correctly, it could get you into remission and then hopefully the maintenance drugs can keep things under control. I avoided prednisone for a while last year and tried to use only Asacol and rectal meds but things got much worse by doing so.
Being proactive is not really about 'telling' your doctor what medications you want, but more about discussion and questioning your doctor about all the treatment options he sees available to you - with the aim of getting into remission soon. Discuss the pros and cons of each so that you agree on, and completely understand, the next course of action.
Qunicy: I am eating normal, lots ! The more "formed" stool is from no stool at all. I don't get D. When I flare it is blood and mucus and 20+ times a day...No poo. At least this time that is the way it went. I really think I was so inflamed and swollen that nothing would come out. I really don't want to be on pred. for a long time. And since my bathroom visits are under control 4-5 a day...I am thinking on the rectal meds. I know it may take awhile but as long as I am not going 20+ times a day it might be worth it.
Rio: I am following the GI orders. 40 mg for 5 days, 30 mg for 5 days, 20 mg for 5 days and 10 mg for 5 days.
When I say "telling" and pro-active...I do mean discussion with more of my input, and not just following along. I really think I should have been on rectal meds along with the pred. Even if it was just canasa. My opinion and I intend to ask GI about it. Also if he thinks I need more pred. well then thats what I will do. But I want to know my options. That way I can discuss it with him with a little knowledge.
By not tapering correctly I didn't mean that you weren't following your doctors orders but that the process of doing so didn't seem right - and I'd blame that on our doctors as they need to do a better job of explaining how to use and taper prednisone.
A lot of us are simply told to start on 40mg and then taper by 10mg every week but it shouldn't be as basic as that. When and how you taper should also depend on how your body is responding to the medecine, otherwise you're just putting an extremely strong drug in your body and not getting the complete benefit of doing so. Sometimes you may need to stay at a certain dosage for an extra week to make sure your symptoms are under control, or you may even need to taper at a slower rate, such as 5 mg or 2.5 mg a week depending on how things are going.
I also agree that rectal meds along with prednisone can be a good course of action - something I wish my own doctor had recommended when I first started on prednisone.
Good luck with the appointment.

My four rental property mortgages came up way short in escrows this year. It meant they were going to increase my monthly payments by a huge amount. I discussed it with my real estate broker and my mortgage broker. It was agreed that it would be better to plunk down the cash to pay off the shortages. But that isn't the point of this article.
You see, a month ago I sent checks in to pay off the shortfall. This was needed before I could request they stop collecting escrows. As this month's payments went through, I noticed a shortfall still being reported on the website. I called them up, and sure enough, they had NOT applied the checks towards the escrow shortfall. Despite the checks being labeled as explicitly to be paid towards the shortfall.
Instead, the bank put the money towards this month's payments. The extra cash in a couple of the checks was applied towards principle. When discussing this over the phone, I asked if they could reapply the checks. "No." Essentially, what was done, was done.
I had dropped a chunk of cash and my issue wasn't resolved. I hammered things out to get the balances paid off. It was quite a bit of cash to straighten things out.
Not only does this reaffirm the need to carry big cash reserves, it also highlights that anytime you need do anything different than make a standard monthly payment, don't assume the bank will do it right. Call them up and make sure they are doing what you want with your money.

HUDDERSFIELD Town could come face to face with transfer target Chris Wood at Leicester on New Year's Day.
The West Brom striker who has impressed on loan to Millwall is being heavily linked with a £1.25m move to the Foxes.
And Millwall are now said to be targeting Simon Church, whose loan from Reading to Town runs out after today's Sheffield Wednesday clash.
Kiwi international Wood, 21, is back at The Hawthorns after notching 11 times for Millwall, two of them in the 4-0 win over Town at the New Den in October.
Town earlier this month confirmed him as a target, but only if they failed to extend the loan of Jermaine Beckford from Leicester.
That was achieved last week, although the former Leeds and Everton man is ineligible against his parent club at the King Power Stadium.
Wales international Church has one goal in six games for Town and last figured in the 2-2 home draw with Bolton on December 8.
Meanwhile Cardiff striker Craig Bellamy has stressed the importance of patience to his side's fans as the Championship pacesetters chase promotion to the top flight.
In-form City claimed their seventh win in nine matches with their 2-1 home victory over high-flying rivals Crystal Palace on Boxing Day.
And they head into today's visit of Millwall boasting a five-point lead at the top.
The Welsh side have won 11 of their 12 league matches at home this season and will be expected to add another three points against the Lions, but Bellamy has urged supporters not to became frustrated if things do not immediately go to plan.
"The fans were okay (against Palace), but I still remember the first 10 and 15 minutes when one or two passes went backwards and there were one or two boos," said Bellamy, whose side went behind after just four minutes before hitting back.
"Sometimes you have to keep the ball. We went a bit direct too early and, credit to Palace, they soaked that up and knew what we were doing. We had to be a bit more patient."
Cardiff's bid for promotion was boosted not only by their win over Palace, but by the fact a number of their rivals at the summit dropped points on the same day.

It was on scholarship at the workshop of Eduardo Chicharro in Spain when the young Diego Rivera first visited Paris in 1909 and subsequently discovered the relevance of post-impressionist pictorial languages. In Paris, he marveled at everything he saw, the work of Claude Monet, Toulouse-Lautrec, Paul Gauguin and particularly Paul Cézanne produced a deep and long lasting impression. Rivera returned to Mexico briefly in 1910 only to depart once again for France to set up his studio in Montparnasse where he relocated in 1911 with his young wife Russian painter Angeline Beloff. As an artist, Rivera's first approach to painting produced pointillist landscapes visibly influenced by Georges Seurat and presented at the Salon des Independants in 1912. After a long sojourn in Catalonia however, Rivera and Beloff left their studio located on Avenue du Maine and moved to the Spanish city of Toledo, accompanied by Mexican artist Angel Zárraga.
Guided by Zárraga, Rivera delved into the study of the work of sixteenth-century Mannerist painter, Doménikos Theotokopoulos (El Greco). Almost immediately, the young painter assimilated innovative pictorial solutions and elongated figures in several large canvases. Rivera's individual approach to the painting of El Greco became evident in the two works he submitted at the Salon d'Automne in Paris that year. Soon thereafter, he returned to Paris in September 1912, just in time to finish some of his most ambitious works: canvases that displayed a groundbreaking interlude between El Greco and the European avant-garde. Once in a new studio in the rue du Départ, he began working on compositions that would eventually lead him to the threshold of Cubism.
This remarkable landscape from 1913—one of the few remaining in private collections—corresponds to a moment of intense experimentation when both traditional compositional elements and avant-garde notions of space are synthesized. Rivera's mastery of perspective coexists with the appearance of numerous diagonal axes. Together they create a dynamic cross-linked geometric plane of great intensity and volume. This spatial dichotomy is particularly evident on the roof of the farmhouses located on the outskirts of the city of Toledo. The result is a Proto-Cubist painting where a gradual decomposition of space is particularly visible in the Mondrianesque trees that appear on the foreground.
Several decades later in the 1950s, Diego Rivera remembered his stylistic progression for his biographers. In the year 1913, "I wanted to get to Cubism on the basis of what it really was, the resulting logic of Seurat, Cézanne and El Greco." These theoretical constructs are perfectly embodied in Paisaje cerca de Toledo.

The Rangers and Islanders are among the most aggressive teams in pursuit of Jets defenseman Jacob Trouba, The Post has learned, with the Devils also in the chase.
Trouba, the 25-year-old impending restricted free agent for whom the Jets are soliciting offers, would slide into the right side of the first pair for either club. But his acquisition would come at a steep cost, both in terms of personnel going the other way in a trade package and the long-term contract Trouba would command.
Winnipeg, according to several sources, has yet to give permission to inquiring clubs to speak with Troubas agent, Kurt Overhardt, about a contract. One would figure seven years at up to $7.5 million per season for the Michigan native who recorded 50 points (8-42) last season, 13th most among defensemen. His 42 assists tied for ninth among blue-liners.https://nypost.com/2019/06/15/ranger...at-steep-cost/The Rangers, of course, own Winnipegs first-rounder at 20th overall, as part of the bounty Brendan Lemieux, too obtained in the lend-lease deal for Kevin Hayes. General manager Jeff Gorton, whom we are told is pushing mighty hard for Trouba, could offer that pick, impending restricted free agent Pavel Buchnevich and, perhaps, Nils Lundkvist to the Jets.
That might not be enough, not with Lou Lamoriello lurking and, for that matter, Ray Shero, as well. Both the Islanders and Devils are loaded with prospects who might be expendable in a deal for Trouba, who has played six seasons in the NHL out of the University of Michigan following his 2012 ninth-overall selection by the Jets.
Question: Does the price become too high for the Rangers if the Jets demand Lias Andersson be included in the package?

Oscillosoft integrated Burst SMS and Zoho CRM to help TrustCo bridge the gap in instant communication and improve its ROI
The founder of TrustCO, Enda Cassidy, identified a gap in connecting homeowners with trusted and reliable professional builders. After witnessing friends and family struggle project after project in search for the right Brisbane builders to help them realise their dream home, TrustCo was born in Brisbane. Homeowners found it difficult to get realistic, competitive quotes that were easy to understand. TrustCo provided end-to-end services to take the overwhelming feeling out of the equation in order to make these big decisions.
TrustCo's aim was to educate clients or families and help them better understand the building and quoting process so that they can make smarter and more informed decisions during their building project – saving time and money. They also helped streamline the building process by giving access to all the services needed to complete the building process. The curated network at TrustCo personally and carefully selected each of the builders with the guarantee of being professional, trustworthy, reliable and excellent in what they do.
TrustCo would thoroughly vet each builder for efficiency and effectiveness in order to avoid the unreliable and unprofessional ones. The curated network at TrustCo does not only stop at builders but also extends to building companies, Brisbane mortgage brokers, building designers and architects. The firm faced some obvious yet fixable issues in their execution. Some of the challenges faced are:
Lack of a database management system
Use of Excel sheets started becoming redundant and chaotic as the number of clients and builders in the network kept growing
The stakeholders of TrustCo were situated in various locations of Brisbane and it became difficult to maintain a tight network without effective on-going communication
Email communication proved to be ineffective among stakeholders.
Presence of an unsuccessful communication module to exchange information in real-time.
Communication was prolonged over days which reduced the response rate and the overall success of projects
The builders and clients lacked an engagement platform with each other to implement and complete projects
The services provided by TrustCo revolved around 3 main principles – Transparent Pricing, 100% Loyal and Family Owned and Customer Satisfaction Guarantee. In order to follow these principles, TrustCo sought out for a solution to fix the challenges and issues they faced. The founder of TrustCo, Enda Cassidy believed that SMS communication was at the heart of their solution to the issues. He believed that SMS with a personalised touch would add to the possibility of timely responses from stakeholders such as builders and clients.
TrustCo searched for an effective data management system like Zoho CRM that could integrate with an SMS tool. As well as an integration of Zoho CRM with Xero, an accounting software. After a wide search into different Zoho products and partners, they stumbled upon Oscillosoft. Post a detailed consultation with the expert team at Oscillosoft, Zoho CRM, BurstSMS and Xero were offered as a complete solution to their requirements.
Zoho CRM: Chosen for its low cost but great feature set, its intuitive interface, the availability of local partners for implementation, training and support and the native mobile applications for Zoho CRM on iOS and Android. This solution provides a backbone for most tools, to form a unified system.
Zoho to Burst SMS: Oscillosoft's Burst SMS plugin was installed to elevate to the next level of marketing and create an instant line of communication. The solution features easy communication with stakeholders, tracking conversation history with predefined and custom SMS and automation of many functions
Zoho to Xero: Invoicing and payment made more efficient. Connect Xero with Zoho CRM and other applications quickly and easily with Oscillosoft. Get 360-degree visibility across applications without double entry. Save time and labour costs by connecting your sales and account teams. Reporting done with an increase in data accuracy
Zoho CRM provided a universal platform to store all stakeholder data with easy segmentation in one location
When a client fills in all the details of a contact form on the website, it was easily captured as Lead and stored in Zoho CRM for further action
Easy blueprint and workflow set up on Zoho CRM enabled an automatic process of associating one or multiple builders to each Lead or client
Most importantly, a quick search on Zoho CRM helped TrustCo view information much faster in comparison to the meticulous and time-consuming spreadsheets
The use of Burst SMS in Zoho CRM proved to be a cheap and efficient way to set up a communication line among stakeholders
The multichannel communication of emails + SMS proved to be more effective and quickly increased the response rate at TrustCo
Burst SMS equipped TrustCo to build ready-to-use SMS templates in order to save time and optimise the automation of the tool
When a client is added as a Lead in Zoho CRM, TrustCo associated it with 3 or more potential builders for the project. An SMS is sent out to those potential builders and depending on their responses, a perfect match is set for the client and a Deal is created. A series of SMS are sent during this process without human intervention.
Builders would reply YES or NO to each SMS. Short and to-the-point responses helped expedite the process and the journey of a client, leaving only the good ones to consider for a project.
After the implementation of Zoho CRM, Burst SMS and Xero, TrustCo saw quick and effective results.
Zoho CRM gave TrustCo the organised platform of all stakeholder data and its user-friendly interface helped execute tasks faster
The SMS templates and automation created let TrustCo sit back and focus on projects instead of communication details
Creating and analysing reports was now easier. Making the right business decisions with the help of real-time analytics by tracking key performance indicators, current trends and future predictions based on wealth
Specific reports of builders were created to summarize their availability, jobs that are completed or in the pipeline or if there were any failed projects
The feature-rich and easily customisable CRM automated routine tasks making it easier to engage with stakeholders
Overall, TrustCo saved on time and money with an improved administration process resulting in business growth

Abrasive blasting is the practice of forcibly projecting a stream of abrasive material against a surface under high pressure. It is commonly used to smooth a rough surface, roughen a smooth surface, shape or reshape a surface, remove dirt and/or contaminants, and can also be used for engraving purposes. At RS Components, we stock various types of blasting media to suit a wide variety of applications.
What types of Blasting Media are there?
There is a range of blasting media that is suitable for different applications
Sandblasting - smoothing, shaping or cleaning hard surfaces.
Wet abrasive blasting - smoothing, shaping and cleaning hard surfaces, not recommended for steel. The reduction of dust produced makes this process safer to use siliceous materials for blasting or to use against hazardous materials such as asbestos and other poisonous or radioactive products.
Bead blasting - fine glass beads are applied at high pressure without damaging the surface. Used to clean calcium deposits, remove embedded fungus and brighten grout colour, as well as removing auto body paint.
Wheel blasting - a spinning wheel propels the abrasive media against an object, usually used for de-flashing plastic and rubber components.
Micro-abrasive blasting - this dry abrasive blasting process uses small nozzles to accurately deliver a fine stream of abrasive to a small part or small area. This process is accurate enough to write directly onto glass.
Dry-ice blasting - air and dry ice are used to freeze and then dislodge surface contaminants.
Vacuum blasting - a dry abrasive blasting method during which the blast media is collected and separated from loosened particles at the same time as being propelled, reducing blast media consumption as the media can then be used repeatedly.

Mirwaiz Umar placed under house arrest ahead of protests
Authorities on Friday placed moderate Hurriyat group chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq under house arrest ahead of separatist called protests here.
Separatists have called for post Friday prayer demonstrations in the Kashmir Valley to protest the detention of Dukhtaran-e-Milan chief Asiya Andrabi under the Public Safety Act (PSA).
Asiya and her deputy Fahmeeda Sofi were booked under the PSA early this week. They are in a jail in Jammu.
A police team arrived at Mirwaiz's Nigeen residence early in the morning and informed him that he could not move out on Friday, sources close to the senior separatist leader said.
Senior hardline separatist leader Syed Ali Geelani continues to remain under house arrest inside his uptown Hyderpora residence here.

The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) held an industry day on April 6 at their Fisher Lane Conference Center in Rockville MD.
HHS manages many of America's largest and most important agencies, including:
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
- Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
- Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
- National Institutes of Health (NIH)
The purpose of the Conference was to expose approximately 150 HHS staff to Acquisition Lifecycle Management Systems COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) solutions currently available in the marketplace. HHS is looking for a "one size fits all" product to replace multiple legacy HHS systems currently in use. nGAP was invited to this event by Dr. Angela Billups, Division of Acquisition, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary and Donna Hairstrom, Director, Office of Acquisition Business Systems.
For nGAP, this was the latest in an ongoing series of meetings with multiple HHS agencies. nGAP provided a brief demo of OAS as we believe it relates to the unique acquisition requirements of HHS, and for that matter, other government agencies that must manage large program requirements.
The intent of the demo was to provide HHS management and staff a deep look at OAS Enterprise from end to end to show differentiation of OAS from other current platforms. Our running demo impressed many at the forum for its content, which highlighted solutions to current challenges faced by HHS sub-agencies like the FDA. FDA faces a challenge in health care expenditure management, often managing large projects that approximate the billion-dollar threshold. FDA and CDC personnel spent a lot of time at our booth and were intrigued that we could articulate their problems.
One of the outcomes in our conversations with Dr. Billups and Ms. Hairston, was an invitation to come back to HHS Headquarters in Washington, D.C. to provide a full, deep dive, demonstration of OAS Enterprise. Arrangements are being made to continue our discussions in D.C. at which time nGAP will continue to position OAS Enterprise as the unique solution we effectively promoted at the HHS Conference Industry Day.

Unstrut Valley: An Unknown German Gem
The Unstrut Valley is a great area for a relaxing holiday.
Most of the towns and villages of East Germany have kept their historical charm and have not been spoiled by the modernization seen in the sixties and seventies in many places in west Germany.
Here are our tips for a pleasant cycling holiday in the Unstrut Valley:
Unstrut Cycling Path
You can explore the area by car. Another possibility is setting off by bike. This is what we did. When you follow the Unstrut – Saale bike path it does not mean that you can cycle all the way through the valley.
Be prepared that very often the path leads you up the hill with a view down onto the valley (especially in the upper part of the valley).
But it is still an easy path to cycle, well signposted and runs through nice countryside. But if it is a warm and sunny time of the year then be prepared that there is hardly any shade on the route. That means, on the other hand, that if it is rainy and windy there is also hardly any protection.
Places of Interest
The towns you pass are beautiful with lots of interesting sights and always worth a stop for at least one or even two nights. The towns, worth an overnight stay are Mühlhausen, Bad Langensalza and definitely Naumburg. Other places where you can spend some time are: Sömmerda, Artern, Nebra and Freyburg.
A highlight not to miss is the the "Arche Nebra" in Kleinwangen, where they found the Nebra Sky disc. The Nebra sky disk features the oldest concrete depiction of the cosmos worldwide. In June 2013 it was included in the UNESCO Memory of the World Register and termed "one of the most important archaeological finds of the twentieth century.
It is wise to book accommodation in advance, not only during the main season but also in the low season, especially if you cycle and are not willing to do longer detours. There are not many hotels and B&B places listed and they are quickly sold out during the day.
Accomodations we can recommend are the following:
Mühlhausen: Brauhaus zum Löwen
Sömmerda: Hotel Balkan
Artern: Hotel Weinberg
Nebra: Schlosshotel Himmelsscheibe
Naumburg: Hallescher Anger
The most expensive place we stayed in was the worst. It was the Gasthaus Zur Weintraube.
From the outside it looked cosy and tempting to stay. But it was noisy, the service was poor, the rooms were not comfortable and the meals (evening and breakfast) were not good at all. Everything was overpriced.
If you started your bike trip from Dingelstädt or Mühlhausen then it is easy to get back by train from Naumburg via Erfurt where you have to change train. There is a Thüringen-Sachsenanhalt special day ticket that you can book in advance and in all trains there are compartments available for storing the bikes.

The Falcons struck back at 6:08 of the second period. Kossof had gone behind the net to play the puck and left it for one of the Lakers. But, Max Johnson collected the loose puck and shot the puck at Kossof. The shot was saved but Brandon Kruse's follow-up attempt got past the Lakers netminder for his second goal of the season.
Bowling Green had 10 shots on net during the middle frame and Lake Superior had eight chances.
Third Period
Lake Superior scored their second goal at 8:57 of the third period. Anthony Nellis had a wraparound chance that was stopped but the puck deflected off Carson Musser's skate and past the goal line.

This is the second time in the last few weeks that I have had a bad experience with the food at Bier Markt. I will not be booking there again.
The mussels in Provençal sauce were fantastic! Thoroughly enjoyed the Belgian Lager. I will return.
I had the charcuterie board and it was very disappointing. No presentation, just a slide of cheese slapped on a board. Totally not worth the money.
Super bon service! Le repas était parfait ! Ambiance plus que parfaite
Great food and wonderful service !
Great place for seating bigger groups. Good service, food menu was different than what was shown online but still a good selection of menu items. Beer selection was amazing!
I would recommend only because one of my colleagues said his burger was really good, but even though the restaurant was half-empty, it took longer than I would have expected to be asked for and served drinks; my friend never got her lemon for her water; decaf Americano not available, my farmhouse salad was ok (way too much lettuce and very little chicken); it took a very long time for dessert to come (by that time the restaurant was empty so I did not see why the delay), we were sitting in the first booth and every time the door opened or closed, it was freezing. I would have to try it a couple more times to make my mind up for sure, but overall it was not enough for me to go back soon.
It was great to be back at the restaurant. The service was very good the waitress herself Celeste, had a great sense of humour was very helpful with healthy meal choices for dinner and even though she was a bit stressed with some of the other clients and because of the way they were treating her she always had a smile on her face and it made our dinner all the better and more fun.
Looking forward to coming back! Keep the duck appetizer. It's a fantastic choice!
Great food! We appreciated how the server made changes for our pizza request. We asked for goat cheese on our pizza instead to blue cheese. It was the best pizza ever!! The red high chairs with the back rest were a bit uncomfortable. They looked very new, yet were not best designed. We kept sliding downwards from them.. It was kind of funny. We thought about asking the server to change our table, but then put something underneath our self from sliding forward and it helped to helped a foot bar near our feet area to keep us from sliding down. Just wanted to bring that to your attention though.
Food and drinks were good. Great bar service but a little busy at this table. High noice level. Cassandra was great and took very good care of us in many regards. Happening place on a Friday night. Had a coupon for a free appetizer so cost of dinner was very reasonable.
Dissappointed because cauliflour dish was not available, no mushrooms with the steak, and some bier choices were not available.
Had the Farmers Chicken Salad. Would not order it again... Chicken was tough and cold, egg was nowhere near soft boiled. The rest of our food was ok.
Kids home from University and looking for a cool pub to have a couple beer and good eats. They had "run out" of one of the beer ordered but ones we did get were nice and cold. Server was a bit slow taking orders and checking in if we needed more. Food was over priced and bland. Charcuterie board expensive for what you get...basically 3 pieces of each meat ordered, 2 pieces of each cheese and only 3 slices of toasted bread. Pizzas had no taste and they also were out of spinach so could not get one of the pizzas wanted. Beef dip sandwich seemed to be the only meal liked out of the 6 meals ordered.
Disappointed overall and will not go back, many other pubs in the area to choose from next time.
Excellent food. Excellent service.
I ordered top sirloin steak but the meat was as it was in the menu. It was chewy and barely eatable.
Took "beet and quinoa salad"with radish shavings. Wow what I got was micro cubes of beets hidden in a mountain of spinach with a tastless dressing.
Staff are well trained on all the beers that are sold. It's refreshing to find a place that can pair fine ales with the food menu. The schnitzel was outstanding. I strongly recommend this restaurant to anybody who has enjoyed the fine dining of Belgium.
3 of 4 of us came for gouda beef dip....sold out and it was 1pm Thursday...disappointing.
Our $41 bottle of wine is $10.95 at LCBO!
VERY noisey.
Even though I made a reservation they stuck Us in the very last table in the very back of the restaurant. Also disappointing.
Food is always good every time we visit (the duck wings are so good that I crave them all the time) and our server Tryston was absolutely delightful. He was fun, very nice, and very attentive. He was always asking us if we wanted refills or if he could get us anything. We will definitely be going back and asking to sit in his section again. It's one thing to always have good food, but it's a completely different thing to have amazing service.
Although the questions ask's, "Would you recommend Bier Markt....." I did state "yes", buit there is a "but" attatched to the statement. I really enjoy German-themed venues especially with Oktoberfest fast appraoching, but if you are going to attempt german style food, know what you are getting yourself into. After arriving at the restaurant, we were quickly seated and there seemed to be an abundance of staff present, but it was clear that they clearly lacked working together, as the service seemed very disorganized. Our drink order was taken quickly but there was a large lag in the actual delivery of the beverage, and from a completely different person, as well once the order was taken, and the restaurant did not seem busy, we waited.... and waited.....finally the serves came over an apologized and said the "dish" would be "compted". When the dish finally arrived, and it was a regular item on the menu, it was clearly overcooked. Although the ambiance of the restaurant is fun, the prices on the menu do not equal the value.
Will I return? Maybe.
...but Bier Markt needs to step up their game.
Waitress not
To friendly, did not serve us water,
Small plate for the price,
Excellent food and ambiance! The only thing I didn't like was the chairs, they are slippery and you feel like you're falling off.
I wasn't too impressed actually. The beet salad was very bland. Everyone else with us liked their food, but the two of us who got that salad were less than impressed unfortunately. The tall, red chairs are not comfortable at all. We all felt like we were sliding out of them and some of us changed to use stools instead.
Yes for a beer on the patio or inside, but the food was disappointing. I remember eating there before and being impressed but the menu was much shorter and food just ok. Could use more beer on tap too...for a place called bier markt I was expecting more.
Food was not so good as the previous experience, fish and chips was heavier than usual
Great selection of beers and food with great staff. Background noise of music doesn't dominate your conversation.
Waitress was hardly around so getting refills on drinks was difficult.
They used to have sharing boards with lots of items, but now they only offer cheese and meat.
Disappointed. Otherwise the service is always pretty good if you're sitting towards the front of the restaurant. If you're at the back, you seem to get lost amongst the tables.
we had fun...but feel the table rules are a tad strict
Great place to meet up with friends! Food was excellent and the knowledgable staff friendly. Highly recommend!
The sharing platter did not have much on it, but the portions for the the main plates were large and filling.
This restaurant was pretty good and the food was very delicious, but the service was very mediocre and barely any attention was paid by our waitress. I see this is a common review online and so I think the restaurant should put more effort into training staff.
Really enjoyed the options and decor. The service was good and the food selection had something for everyone. Great selection of craft beers.
The service is terrific at the Bier Markt, Ottawa. I would recommend the burger. Great atmosphere for both large and small groups.
The service was timely and food was good. The mussels is amazing
My farmhouse salad had zero pecans in it, despite being listed in the menu description. Duck wings were very good. Calamari too.
The food was great and so was the service. There was a piece of gum stuck to the edge of my seat (who would do that?), and it got onto my pant leg. The server cleverly brought me some ice to apply to it, and it came right off. We found the music a bit too loud for our liking, so perhaps we will not come back during happy hour. The volume decreased at about the time we were leaving, which was shortly after 7:00 PM.
Nothing special and the food is okay at best. Good selection of beers and that is about it.
Good enough to spend time with an old friend. We went during happy hour, so drinks and apps were reasonably priced.
The waitstaff was kind and accommodating to my party of 8. The beers were amazing and the food was fantastic. I loved the beer pairings on the food menu and the overall feel of the place.

Deal Close- Arsenal On The Brink Of Signing Liverpool Key Target
Goonersden brings you news from top football news sites from the likes of ESPN, SkySport, Daily Mail, Daily Star and Metro… We also Analyse football, player, transfer and predict Arsenal starting line-up.
Arsenal are favourites ahead of Liverpool to sign Germany international and Bayer Leverkuson goalkeeper Bernd Leno, according to report.
The Gunners are on a shopping spree as new manager Unai Emery is revamping the side, and they have mooted a move for Leno.
Since joining Leverkuson from Stuttgart, Leno has assumed the position of an indisputable shot-stopper and his impressively consistent show-off has lured Arsenal and Liverpool to him.
The Gunners are overhauling their defense and they are looking for a long-term replacement for the out-of-form Petr Cech.
However, Arsenal may have to act fast after German tabloid Bild reported that the Reds are preparing a £25m bid for the 26-year-old goalie.
Liverpool are displeased with Loris Karius following his terrible performance in the Champions league final and they are in the market to sign a replacement for him.'
The Reds are also heavily linked with a move for Alisson Becker and Jack Butland of Stoke but Leno might be their cheapest option.
It appears that Leverkuson are preparing for life of Leno, with reports claiming they signed Lukas Hradecky from Eintracht Frankfurt last month as a possible replacement for transfer bound Leno.
Leno was dropped from Germany's squad that will feature in the World Cup, which means he can complete a move soon. The report by Bild revealed that the Reds will table their bid for the player in the coming days and they will be hoping the deal will be completed before the world cup.

"Let me start off by saying how sorry I am, it must be really hard for you, going through this divorce. If there's anything -" I cut off my high priced lawyer mid sentence. I wasn't interested in the niceties.
"You can drop the concerned lawyer act. You want to make money, I want to make money. Lets just work together and take my husband for every penny he's got." She stared at me for a long while after I spoke, probably trying to figure me out.
It was when the smile spread across her face and she said, "Lets take the bastard down." That I knew I had picked the right person for the job. I proceeded to tell her all about the marriage, leaving out the parts about me withholding sex of course. "How much are you looking for? Ballpoint."
"I want 100 million." I said with conviction. I didn't actually know how much the Elphinstones had, but I knew that they were loaded. 100 million would be fine, I deserved it.
"What?!" She threw her arms up in the air, "100 mil? You really think he's gonna pay you that amount of money?"
"He will once I show him these." Fishing around in my Mulberry I pulled out the dossier I had taken from the investigators house, and watched the realisation dawn on her face as she flicked through the pages. "Still don't think I can get it?" I asked, smiling at her and rubbing my hands together in anticipation of how rich I would soon be.
"Olive, this is a question I don't usually ask," She began, pulling her chair around so she was next to me, "but what do you really want out of this divorce? Is it purely for financial gain, as I first thought, or is it something else. I'm happy to help you either way," I should think so, that's what I was paying her for! "but I'm just curious."
It was an understandable question for sure, and one I had held the answer to since I first spoke to Max when I was working at the bar. "I just want what any girl wants," I gave her a long, penetrating look; I had to get her on my side. "to be free."
"Anyway I must go." I said as I stood up and glanced at my new Cartier watch (a parting gift on Maxs credit card – as were the Harry Winston diamonds at my ears) "I have an appointment at Nicky Clarke."
"Yes, of course. I'll call you when I've set up a meeting with his lawyers." She began leafing through a huge folder covered in stick-notes before she looked up at me, "He does know, doesn't he?"
* * *
Emerging from Nicky Clarke 3 hours later I felt like my old self again.
Now that I was free of Max I could shed the past – including Reena's makeover. I had finally washed all the reminders of Miami off of me, well, except for the obvious one. As much as I tried not to think about it, I knew it would never leave me. I had booked myself into a spa for the rest of the day, but making my way down the street my plans were washed away by a phonecall.
'Ellis', read the screen, my lawyer.
"What is it?" I asked, still making my way down the busy street.
"Olive? Thank god you answered, I've been ringing you for the past hour. Everyone's waiting, I just contacted Max's lawyers and they came in for an immediate sit down. Get back to my office, now!" Quickly I called my driver, and safely enclosed in the limo I wondered why they wanted the meeting so soon, maybe they just wanted to get it out of the way. Max must have been shocked when he found out, I hadn't even told him I was divorcing him, he must have thought everything was fine, and that I didn't know all about his little extra curricular activities.
"So sorry I'm late." I said as I quickly sat down next to Ellis in the conference room, across from Max and his obscenely overpaid lawyer, Randal Fairclough.
"Okay, we can begin." Randal said, straightening the cuffs of his whiter than white shirt beneath the pinstripe suit. "In the case of Maxwell Elphinstone vs Olivia Elphinstone we are prepared to go with an opening offer of 1 million dollars. Quite a fair settlement for such a short marriage, with no probable cause for divorce."
"Ridiculous!" Ellis exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air. "With the wealth of the Elphinstone family, and the fact that my client will be a single mother supporting two children once this divorce is finalised, we are pushing for a considerably higher settlement."
As the two lawyers went at it me and Max resorted to staring at each other across the table. His face was impassive, I didn't know what he was thinking, but I wasn't going to be the first to look away.
"I like your hair." He said suddenly, interrupting the staring match we had been going at for 10 minutes. I didn't reply, just smiled weakly, tilting my head slightly and gazing across the expanse of glass at him.
He was handsome, but it was his money that was his appeal. He had no force to him, no driving ambition behind his millions, it had all just fallen into his lap. Elphinstone Diamond had been passed through the family for generations, and was overseen by a board of directors who never let things get out of control. Even his mother had more force in her than him, at least she had fire inside of her. She was probably the one who put Max's out.
"No probable cause for divorce? Take a look at these." I heard Ellis shout, sliding the dossier across the table. Max with his secretary. Max with his masseuse. Max with his favourite waitress at the local restaurant. Men were such pigs, I was going to take every penny off him. Although I was only 23 I had learnt that men couldn't be trusted, ever. They could take care of you financially, entertain you sexually, but you should never trust them, they would always hurt you. Granted I had driven Max to other women purposely, but if he had really loved me he wouldn't have done it at all.
"100 million?!" Randal shouted in shock, "that's preposterous, extra marital affairs are nothing knew, and certainly not worth 100 million!"
"Does your client really want a scandal like this getting out?" Ellis asked smoothly, leaving Randal fuming. "Olive? Are you okay?" She asked, looking over her shoulder at me as she noticed the locked eyes of me and Max. I was still looking at him, why couldn't men just be good?
I didn't answer, and she was quickly distracted by more bullshit from Randal's mouth.
"Why are you doing this Olivia?" Max whispered slowly, his face a mixture of anger and sadness. Why was I doing this?! Was he being serious, could he not see the photos?
"They're offering 50. Olive!" Ellis said, snapping me out of my daze. I wasn't going to answer Max, he knew fine well why I was doing this.
"100." I told Randal with conviction. I wasn't taking 50, it would hardly get me anywhere.
"Pah!" He threw his hands up in the air in frustration, "we are not prepared to offer that. If we can't settle this here we'll have to take it to court."
"Fine by us." Ellis told him as she gathered her things together. "Don't worry, the judge will side with you, you're the cheated woman with two children to support whose done nothing wrong." She whispered into my ear, patting my shoulder and clicking her heels off down the hallway, followed quickly by Randal and Max, leaving me alone to muse over the situation. Would I really win if this case went to court? I'd make a few calls, try and make sure I had a sympathetic judge, dress myself demurely in a pastel colour, take off all my makeup, maybe pull my hair back into braids…
"Hello Olivia." said a voice from behind me, jolting me out of my plan.
"Randal just filled me in on your demands. 100 million? Ambitious to say the least." Elizabeth said cooly, moving across the room to gaze out of the windows of the high rise building to the city beneath. "I'll give you 60 million, and you won't need to go to the press about my sons… indiscretions."
"100 million Elizabeth. A judge would give me that for sure." I said bluntly. Her being here just proved how much more fire she had than Max, he would never have dared to negotiate with me without the aid of a lawyer.
"Don't be so sure, you may walk out of the court with even less than 50 million, depending what mood the judge is in. Think about it, are you willing to risk millions of dollars on the hope that the judge will side with you?" She still faced the window, giving her a sinister twist not suited to the pink suit which she was wearing.
What she was saying made sense, if Max's lawyer was so well paid he was sure to be a skilled negotiator in court, and if he could make the case that I had purposely withheld sex in order to catch Max in a compromising position… it didn't bare thinking about. The only way out of that situation would be to bring up my past, and that was something I wasn't willing to do.
"Make it 90." I told her, suddenly deciding that she was right; this was the best way.
"I'm glad to see you've come to your senses." She finally turned around and faced me as she spoke.
"Ill give you 70. I hope you realise how much money this is Olivia, I'm not going up from 1000 to 2000 here, I'm adding 10 million dollars. Take it." She was smooth as she spoke, her voice never raising even an inch, only dripping with venom.
"Make it 75 and we have a deal. And I hope you realise I'm knocking 25 million," I repeated her words, "off my original total."
"Ah Olivia, you drive a hard bargain, I always knew you were a little money grabbing tart." She gave me a half smile and tapped her drummed her fingers on the table as she thought about my offer.
"You have a deal. You know," she said as she fished around in her bag, "you're lucky you had a boy, if it was a girl I'd be offering you about half of this. And I wouldn't budge." She put two contracts down in front of me, one was a confidentiality agreement, that basically said I couldn't mention the fact that I'd caught Max with several other women, and I couldn't disclose the amount of money I received in the settlement. The other was the actual divorce paper, all I had to do was sign.
"If that money isn't transferred to my bank in the next 48 hours," I said before I signed, "then I'll call every newspaper in Europe and tell them all about Max, I'll give interviews on every show that will take me and I'll drive your families name into the ground. Understood?" My pen flew across the page in a blur. I was officially a divorcée.
* * *
Pacing up and down the private lounge of the airport waiting for my flight was driving me nuts. This is what you get when you fly commercial!
"How much longer do I have to wait?!" I barked to a passing receptionist, who quickly went into apologetic mode.
"I'm terribly sorry ma'am, the plane is being refueled. Shouldn't be much longer now." She threw me a fake smile which really set me off.
"Get the plane here now. I have been forced to fly commercial after a tumultuous divorce and this is how you treat me? I've never seen anything like it, if the plane isn't here soon I'll be having words with your manager."
"Um – I'm sorry. I'll try and see whats going on. Can I get you anything while you wait?" She squirmed uncomfortably in front of me, so pathetic.
"Just go." I said, pursing my lips and narrowing my eyes, sending her practically running into the next room. Fortunately for her the announcement that flight 246 was ready to board ran through the airport, and shortly afterwards I was ensconced in the air conditioned comfort of first class. It could never beat the Elphinstone jet, but it would have to do; the use of the jet was (unfortunately) not available to ex-wives.
* * *
Driving through the winding streets I kept my eyes closed. I had such nostalgia it was unbearable. Why didn't I just fly to London or Paris?
Electra, now 7 years old sat beside me, and Marie held little Sebastian. After the divorce a judge had granted me full custody due to the 'unsatisfactory role model Maxwell Elphinstone would provide for his son, with his hurtful treatment of his wife by indulging in affairs with several different women' with Max having supervised custody rights for a week every other month. I didn't really know what to do about it, it would be important for Sebastian to have a father figure; I knew that much. But was Max a good father figure? Maybe I'd have to find someone to fill Max's shoes, at least for Sebastian and Electra's sakes.
"Ma'am, we're here." The drivers voice came through the car speakers. Getting out of the car I made my way nervously to the front door, I didn't know what to expect. Time seemed to slow down after I pressed the bell, standing there in front of the door, bracing myself. I took a sharp intake of breath as the door opened a a figure appeared in the doorway, her passive face quickly turning to one of shock.
"Hi Mom. I'm home."

Tech has a slim hope of winning the game if they can keep these two backs from breaking out on long runs and keeping the score close. Last year's score was a bit of an anomaly since most games in last 10 years have been pretty close (decided by five points or less). Tech's defense if going to have to play their best game of the year, after whipping on the pansy 0-4 Fighting Irish of Notre Dame and Div II-A Samford. We were brought back down to earth after getting dismantled by BC and then losing a shocker in Charlottesville last week to Virginia. We are now 0-2 in the ACC and facing probably the best team we'll meet all year!
In order to win, Tech must do the following:
Over the past two weeks, Taylor Bennett has shown why he was behind Reggie Ball on the depth chart: he hasn't shown the ability to win the close (and BIG) games (see West Virginia in Gator Bowl and last week at UVA).
We have a good defense, but if they are spending well over half of the game on the field backpedaling and running around after Davis & Spiller, we are going to lose. I gotta root for the Yellow Jackets, but I also gotta call 'em as I see 'em!
And if I hear that damn "Tiger Rag" one more time, I'm gonna puke!

Aaron Carter seriously needs to let Hilary Duff go already. His latest weird, almost stalker-ish declaration of infatuation was to post a picture to Instagram of himself watching the episode of Lizzie McGuire that he guest starred in.
The title character of that Disney show was none other than Duff, and it put her on the map. The couple was "dating" in real life at the time (I put dating in quotes because they were 13 ...), and the episode was titled "Aaron Carter's Coming to Town." He played himself, and Lizzie had to sneak past security guards and wound up starring in his music video for "I Want Candy."
It was 2001. Fourteen years ago. Anyway. Here's what Aaron Instagrammed on Thursday, December 4:
He also shared this little gem on Twitter at the same time:
Apparently a lot of girls were super pissed when I kissed Lizzie McGuire ð���— AÄ� (@aaroncarter) December 4, 2014
Normally this might just be some sort of sentimental Throwback Thursday post, except for the fact that this isn't the first time Aaron has recently lamented The One Who Got Away.
The then-teens broke up in 2003, after rumors surfaced that he cheated on Hil with Lindsay Lohan. I know. So then Hilary grew up, married hockey hunk Mike Comrie, and had an adorable little son named Luca. Earlier this year, Hils and Mike announced they were separating, and Carter immediately tweeted, "I'll spend the rest of my life trying to better myself to get back to her. I don't care what ANY of you think."
More from The Stir: Hilary Duff Needs to Stop Leading Aaron Carter On
About a month after that, he told Entertainment Tonight that he "absolutely" still loved Duff, and, "I don't know who she is today, she doesn't know who I am today, but I would sweep her off her feet if I ever got a chance to again and fix what I did wrong."
OK ... we know you're bordering on creepy, Aaron! Duff eventually responded to his attention, by way of a BuzzFeed interview. "I keep seeing that, that he keeps doing that ... I don't know how I feel. I mean, that was so long ago, and obviously I'm still married, and I have a baby and we kind of just ... Yeah, don't know each other ... so ... yeah."
Move on, Aaron. It's getting creepy.
Do you think there's a snowball's chance in Hades that Hilary Duff will ever get back together with Aaron Carter?

That is, unless you see yourself as the amazing, empowering, sexy, dynamic creator that you are.
And we rarely do.
Because we don't see ourselves through a clear lens.
When I was in my 20's I would tell myself I was stupid. I looked forward to the day when I would stop beating myself up, and have a new way of looking at myself, which I thought would occur in a few years.
I thought I'd outgrow my destructive thoughts once I was little older or more successful or more accomplished or more physically fit.
By my mid 20's, calling myself "stupid" was replaced by my saying I was unattractive. By 30, I was a failure.
I would just replace old sayings with newer ones. So you're "stupid" becomes you're "unattractive" which becomes you're "untalented" which becomes you're "unlovable" which becomes you're "a failure" which becomes you're "too old."
The insight comes when you realize that although we can't escape those untruthful thoughts entirely – becoming aware of them running on auto-pilot or how they get triggered helps us to actually recover from them. You see that being caught in the web of the left brain's highly functional dysfunction, is also the key to being liberated from it.
But first you have to know that you're in it.
Science is proving that our reality is created not by reality itself but through the lens by which we choose to see our reality.
So clean those glasses. Get your eyes checked. Fix that stigmatism and get new contacts. Try to start seeing yourself not through the dirty, clouded, gray lens we normally see ourselves, but more accurately through how you choose to see other people and how others often see you.
"She's beautiful," you think. Well so are you. (Although both of you have a hard time believing it!)
"He's talented." Well so are you. (Although both of you have a hard time believing it!)
So ask a friend this week what they think of you and I bet they'll use a number of adjectives you never would use to describe yourself. Just like how you probably describe other people you admire: gutsy, brave, bold, exciting, inspiring, fun, clever, beautiful, loving, honest.
Now that's a clear lens.

Our speaker for this week, Paola Martinez, was selected by District 5840 to receive a $30,000 Global Education Grant in 2017 to study Disease Prevention and Treatment at the University of South Wales. She received her Master's Degree in International Public Health from there. She was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Boerne Sunrise and the Rotary Club of Kings Cross, Sydney, Australia. She has completed her studies and is now visiting Rotary Clubs in the District to talk about her experience and encourage Rotarians to think of scholars they might wish to recommend for a future Global Education Grant to do graduate study in a foreign country.
We enjoyed another delicious Fair Oaks Ranch lunch with a salad, vegetable medley, potatoes, and pork loin. The white cake was an excellent choice to wrap up our meal.
Additionally, The Rotary of Blanco's President thanked us for our guidance and support of their new club.
CJ Stratte discussed our Public Image. Please send photos to her at events. firstname.lastname@example.com
Make sure to be at our next meeting on the 22nd!

Lennox Garbutt was on his way to bury sister when he had a fatal traffic accident
Double tragedy has struck the Garbutt family of Corozal – with the deaths of two siblings of the family occurring within 24 hours of each other.
Special Constable Loneth Ferguson died first at about 1:30 Monday morning after a bout of illness at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital, and then her brother, Lennox Garbutt, 43, according to reports, died at about 1:30 Tuesday morning at the scene of an accident he had – he was travelling from Corozal to Belize City to make preparations for her funeral and make other arrangements in connection with her death.
The traffic collision in which Garbutt was involved took place between Miles 6 and 7 on the Philip Goldson Highway. He was officially declared dead at about 5:30 a.m., at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital.
Garbutt was driving his Toyota Corolla car with L/P CZL-C- 027302, in which Gary Williams, 34, a laborer of 11- 6th Street, Corozal Town was a passenger, when a head-on collision occurred between the Corolla and a Sebring Touring car, being driven at the time by Steven Wade, 23, an employee of the Ministry of Health, who resides on Water Lane in Belize City. As a result, Garbutt suffered massive injuries to his left foot, chest, right arm and hip.
Police said the Sebring was travelling from Belize City to Ladyville.
Williams, who was in the front passenger seat, was uninjured, while Steven Wade received a cut wound on the forehead.
Garbutt and Wade were taken to the KHMH, where Garbutt died while doctors were trying to help him.
Superintendent Chris Noble, Commander of Belize District Rural Police, told reporters that investigations are being carried out into the collision. He said that there are many unknowns, but the investigation will reveal what happened and who was at fault.
Doctor Mario Estradabran conducted a postmortem on the body of Lennox Garbutt about 3:30 yesterday afternoon at the KHMH, and certified that his death was due to traumatic shock due to multiple trauma as a result of a road traffic accident.
Lennox Garbutt will be remembered as the Corozal citizen who had been fighting against what he considered an act of injustice by his area representative and the Lands Department when his plot of land had been taken away and given to someone else.
Garbutt had made media rounds to highlight the injustice done to him.
In response to Garbutt's claim, the Chief Lands Officer had said that the land had been taken away from him legally, and handed over to another person who was in a position to carry out development that he, Garbutt, could not achieve.
Police said that Loneth Ferguson was a senior Special Constable who was once a prison officer. She was among the prison officers who were transferred to the Police Department to start the Special Constable Unit of the police, and she continued to serve in the capacity of Special Constable until her death. She was the mother of four, and is also survived by her husband, Special Constable Gerald Smith.
