I survived 2018!
I wish I could say I thrived…maybe in 2019.
So, while I was blogging throughout the year there were still moments I didn't share here. So let's take a moment to reflect on the whirlwind that was 2018.
~ t h e h i g h l i g h t s ~
I started off the year with two of my favorite people in the world. We rang in the new year together down South and created a few more memories to add to the hundreds we already share.
My precious Zuzu turned one and we did our best to celebrate on our own.
I skied for the first time…and the last time.
My family visited and we traveled and hiked all over Colorado and Utah. Here are some posts I have written about family travels: RV trip (Zion National Park), Arches, Hanging Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park, Lily Mountain Trail.
July 2018 marked my one year anniversary at my job and in Colorado. I didn't really celebrate but, hey, I made it!
I started volunteering at a local animal sanctuary and it is the best thing that happened to me in 2018.
I visited New York with one of my closest friends, Megan (she just re-started her blog…go check it out!), to visit Cassandra who moved there after graduating. I plan to write a post about our little weekend in NYC. Stay tuned!
And then I wrapped up 2018 with the same people I started it with.
2018 wasn't my most glamorous. I spent the majority of the year alone and struggling with my mental health but when I look back on the year, it is hard to complain.
I made it through, what I would consider, one of my most difficult years yet. If I can do that then I can do anything, right?
I hope you have a happy and healthy 2019 and I am hoping the same for myself.

Vietnam – Part 4 – Hanoi
Introduction Hanoi is one of my favorite cities in the world. As with the rest of Vietnam, it is young and beaming with energy, optimism and joie de vivre. While being a metropolis, it retains a small-town feel, especially in the Old Quarter. It is a beautiful city merging modern structures, tradition East Asian architecture and French neo-classical design… …and possessing huge parks, striking lakes and wide boulevards. The people are tough, having dislodged centuries of occupation, but also friendly and fun-loving. It was a special treat to be here once again. Our…continue reading →

SketchUp has many uses from civil and mechanical engineering to film and video game design. With such a wide range of drawing applications it's a good idea to sometimes get a bit more specific for individual uses. This post will concentrate on architectural design and list the most helpful tips and tricks for Architects using SketchUp.
Use the Extension Warehouse
SketchUp is one of the most popular digital design software's and, as a result, has a huge community behind it. With both large companies and indie developers working constantly on plugins/extensions, you really do have a wealth of functionality at your disposal. You can do so much more in SketchUp once you delve into the extension warehouse and use the correct plug-ins for your specific task. With a possibly overwhelming amount to choose from, you can narrow it down selecting "Categories" or "Industries" or by filtering reviews from the architectural community.
Use Great Rendering Software
You can integrate a variety of software into SketchUp for make stunning, fantastically realistic renders of your models. Combining rendering software with SketchUp is often all you will need for professional results. There are an array of rendering extensions for you to choose from. Four of the most popular include V-Ray, Shaderlight, SU Podium, and Enscape.
V-Ray in SketchUp
Shaderlight in SketchUp
Enscape in SketchUp
SU Podium in SketchUp
Always use the Measurement Tools
Perhaps the biggest challenge for Architect's using SketchUp is making sure you align your models on the right plane. You need to consider the X, Y, and Z axes in everything that you do. A change to the model on one axes will cause changes on the others and that"s the same situation if you want to move the model around. This leads to the problem of lines failing to match up when you switch views. The most valuable tool in SketchUp to eliminate this is the Tape Measure and Protractor tools. This marks out the three main axes so you can see them at all times and you"ll be able to see how your changes affect the model overall.

White Paper
It's estimated that 30 million people in the US alone have one or more debts in collections, and household debt is on the rise. Significant 90-day delinquencies come from credit cards, mortgages (plus associated lines of credit), student loans, healthcare and auto loans. While the collection industry is drawn by the significant activity of these potential revenue streams, we should recognize conflicting trends from declining collection rates, increasing regulation and growing automation.

Your funeral home involves caring for and serving others, but how much of your attention do you give to monitoring your business? Consider giving some of your attention and effort to focusing on the internal health of your funeral home so you can continue caring for families for years to come.
While you may be aware of the following issues at your funeral home at least intuitively, consider reviewing the below items as you consider the long-term health of your business.
- Examine the performance of your business.
Do you scan for environmental changes in the funeral service industry? OGR helps you with this through its magazine, email updates, website and webinars.
Do you use industry financial benchmarks to judge your own performance? Industry averages are good to know but take them with a grain of salt. Be sure to incorporate your knowledge of local conditions when assessing data. OGR's webinar on "Benchmarks in Profitability" Thursday, August 25 will help you start this process.
- Get a handle on how your organization is structured.
What is the legal form of your organization? Are you a corporation? An LLC? A partnership? Each form of organization may provide tradeoffs on matters of control, legal liability, and taxation. This is an area where you would definitely want competent legal advice.
Your current form may be the result of how you acquired ownership of your business. You may have other choices of legal form, and they likely will be influenced by the state in which you are located. For a brief introduction to these ideas, visit these or similar websites: Study Finance. Investopedia.
- Ensure you're getting the biggest tax breaks possible and protecting your business from financial loss.
Does your accountant protect or harm your business? Do you have an outside accountant? Does he/she advise you on matters of internal control to prevent losses through embezzlement, from unbilled revenues, and from duplicate outgoing payments through poor business processes?
Are you taking advantage of all the tax deductions available to you? Section 179 expensing of capital purchases and bonus depreciation allowed under the Internal Revenue Code can make a big difference (up to $500,000) to your taxable income as well as influence your decisions to buy vs lease. See the IRS explanation of this valuable provision.
Do you have an asset capitalization policy in place to provide consistency in accounting for big ticket, long-lived assets? Proper use of capitalization and depreciation policies will give you the most consistent view of your financial performance over longer time periods. The policy can cover not only funeral coaches and retorts, but also furnishings, computers equipment and other items on the less expensive end of the scale. Let your accountant advise you on the appropriate cost parameters for your policy.
- Make sure your employment documents are in order.
How do you keep up with employment documents, W-9 forms and 1099s? If you operate in multiple taxing jurisdictions, have you considered using a payroll service to be sure your handling of employment taxes and 401(k) contributions is correct? Depending on the size and range of your business, you may be able to avoid the headaches and legal penalties of non-compliance with various tax requirements through careful consideration of contracted automated services. A complex business might also benefit from payroll cost distribution methods built into sophisticated systems.
- Avoid legal action.
Have you answered the following questions to protect your business from legal action? Do you have an attorney? Do you require your employees to sign non-compete agreements? (Be sure to check if they are legal in your state.) How about non-solicit agreements for your long-term family relationships and your pre-planned clients? Have you assessed the risk of employees going into business for themselves in the same community and pirating your customers?
- Prepare your business for your eventual departure.
What is your long-term business plan? Do you want to expand, to sell, to bequeath your business? What is your timeframe? Do you have a succession plan? If you have a Buy-Sell agreement with partners in the event of a death, do you have life insurance on the individuals involved to fund the buyout?
- Create a budget that saves you money.
Do you have a budget? Is it created and filed away or do you revisit it periodically? Do you use it as a guide and plan or as handcuffs? Is it structured with monthly detail rather than an annual lump sum for each category? Deaths are unpredictable, but history should allow you to plan for holiday bonuses, livery purchases, utility usage by season and for special events in the months in which they will occur. A well-considered budget provides a documented basis for comparison of your actual operating results and can provide indicators to suggest corrective actions or reveal opportunities to exploit when performance diverges from the expected path.
Can you incorporate flexible budgeting and comparisons to actual results? That is, can you identify variable costs that change with the number of calls you handle – drivers and ancillary staff, fluid use, rented equipment on an as-needed basis, and crematory fees? A flexible budget can allow you to evaluate different case volume (or other) scenarios with minimal effort. It can also aid in rapidly developing alternative forecasts/plans if activity for a period does not conform to the original expectations. For an introduction, see http://www.accountingtools.com/flexible-budget
- Generate a profit by getting a better handle on your operating leverage.
Do you know your operating leverage – the relationship of your fixed costs (like salaries and benefits, operating insurance, contracted maintenance, depreciation on owned buildings, vehicles, equipment, etc.) to your total costs? Companies with high operating leverage ratios can earn more profit from incremental revenues than other companies because they don't have to increase costs proportionately to make those sales. So, companies with high operating leverage ratios can benefit more from good marketing, economic pickups, or other conditions that tend to boost sales. Conversely, companies with high operating leverage are more vulnerable to declines in revenue.
The above is not intended as a comprehensive list of issues for your funeral home but a place to get started. Your business involves caring for and serving others. Be sure to save some of your attention and effort for yourself. If you're interested in learning more about financial benchmarks and ensuring the long-term health of your business, sign up for OGR's webinar with Dan Isard of the Foresight Companies next Thursday, August 25 or click here to learn more.

text: Versiroth #401 Posted April 29, 2013 Hold on!! When did I ever said I love Jaime? I'm not a Jaime fan. Is just like I said before:I hate it when people blame everything in ONE single character (or two in this case). Like when people blame Cat for everything. I'm not a Cat fan, but I hate when people blame her for everything.All the events happen by multiple actions by multiple people.Just because you hate when someone claims that one character is the cause of everything doesn't mean I'm wrong. A lot of characters have made a lot of choices to forge the events as a whole, but the first domino in this long chain of events WAS the incestual relationship between Jaime and Cersei. That really can't be denied. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good morning,afternoon and evening. It's been a while since I've had the pleasure of saying that. It's lovely to have you all here today. It's a beautiful day here in the lovely Pacific Northwest. My neighborhood is full of really kind people. One of the reasons I love this home. As I sat this morning and chatted up the groups of neighbors walking up to the park. It reminded me to be thankful. To be thankful for the little things, big things and everything in between.
My Parkinson's and med side effects have been really challenging over the last few months. Mix that with a divorce that became final,(on paper, in body and location it's been years). I thought it would be easier to simply go forward but it's surprising how much emotion,guilt and anguish got stirred up by having to relive mentally all the things that lead to the end of my 15 year marriage. I've no misconception as to why it ultimately ended. I put the final stake in the coffin. Regardless of reason, perception or excuse the action was mine and I'll own that my entire life, but ya know that's what being a grown up is about. Being able to admit your faults and how they do,could or can effect others,then owning your actions and decisions.Right ??
Anyhow enough of hat being a grown up bs, I wanna be a giant robot 😜😜😜. I'd like to be painting but well, honestly I've 2 more doses of PD Poison pills before these ridiculously tight tendons relax enough for me to move semi normally without a pain scale of 8. Okay random though then I promise pretty pictures. Read on FB today a post about pain. It was really generic and "PC" made me laugh. Mostly because I know some people including myself that literally live in stage 6-9 pain every second of everyday. I have a toe that send electric liquid fire pulses to and from my hips 10k a day and the only remedy science currently has is kill the nerve. So occasionally I giggle when I read pain posts. Thanks for he venting and chat this morning, it feels like years since I've all had a chance to just spill my brain out into cyberspace.
Now, onto the show. Many of these photos are from my backyard or within minutes walking distance from my home. I think all of these are from my Instagram page. Amongst all the madness of life,job,house,spouse, kids I know more than ever now how important it is to take time to smell the roses and appreciate beauty when it presents itself. Please enjoy these things as I see them.
I could seriously download 1000's of flower pictures LOL.
Well friends,family and countrymen I bid you adieu for the time being it's time for me to go pretend I've any idea what I'm doing 😜🎨😜📸📸📸.
Wherever you are and whatever you're doing I hope that love fills your heart and your fears find the door. My life guide you in peace and happiness always.
"A life in progress."

Canon 5D Vs 6D - Detailed Guide
The Canon 6D Mark II and Canon 5D Mark IV are two mid-size digital single-lens reflex cameras, both very popular among semi-professional and enthusiast photographers.
At first glance, these two cameras share a lot in common. They were both built around a full-frame sensor and there are no substantial differences in image resolution. Further, they have a similar ISO range and burst shooting speed, while there is the same autofocus system in both cameras.
With this being said, it might be strange to hear that a brand-new Canon 6D Mark II costs around $1,500 less than the Canon 5D Mark IV. However, there are reasons for this and you will understand why there is such a big difference in price after reading this article.
Canon 5D Mark IV vs Canon 6D Mark II – Image Quality
Photo by James Bold on Unsplash
As we already mentioned, there is the same full-frame CMOS sensor in the Canon 5D Mark IV and Canon 6D Mark II.
The 5D Mark IV offers a bit bigger resolution (30.4 MP) and produces stills of 6720 x 4480 pixels, while there is a 24.2 MP sensor in the 6D Mark II, capable of capturing stills of up to 6240 x 4160 pixels.
Both cameras produce images of outstanding quality and they will preserve all important details even if you decide to make huge prints.
Since the Canon EOS 6D Mark II release date was in July 2017, almost a year after the release date of the 5D Mark IV, this camera sports a processor of a newer generation – the DIGIC 7.
Maybe this is the reason why the 6D MII offers a bit wider native ISO range that goes from 100 to 40,000, in comparison to the 5D MIV's native ISO range of 100 – 32,000. However, in both cameras, expanded ISO goes from 50 to 102,400.
Once again, this does not make a big difference between these two models since you will rarely have an opportunity to shoot at high ISO settings. What is important is that both cameras produce great results in low-light conditions and images will be vibrant and detailed while shooting at low ISO.
Canon 5D Mark IV vs Canon 6D Mark II – Specs
As we could see, these two models do not differ significantly when it comes to image quality. However, when we focus on other specifications, the Canon 5D Mark IV seems to be much more capable camera.
The first thing where the Canon 5D Mark IV beats Canon 6D Mark II is burst shooting. When looking at numbers you might not observe this difference. The 5D Mark IV offers continuous shooting at up to 7 frames per second, while the 6D Mark II offers burst shooting at up to 6.5 frames per second.
However, what places the 5D on the top is its capability to shoot an infinite number of JPEG files (well, until the memory card fills up!) or up to 30 RAW files, while the 6D offers only up to 150 JPEG or 21 RAW images.
The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and Canon EOS 6D Mark II also seem to have similar autofocus capabilities. Both cameras feature a Dual Pixel CMOS AF system that works perfectly even in the live view mode and while recording videos. Additionally, they are both able to focus down to EV -3, which means they can acquire subjects even if there is not much light.
What makes the 5D Mark IV better in terms of autofocus capabilities is that this camera has 61 focus points while the 6D Mark II has only 45 focus points. On the other hand, only 41 AF points in the 5D Mark IV are capable of being cross-type, while all of them can become cross type in the 6D Mark II.
Finally, the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV utilizes Dual Pixels Raw technology which helps you to improve sharpness in your images during post-production. This is a convenient feature and one more reason because of which the 5D Mark IV costs much more than the 6D Mark II.
Canon 5D Mark IV vs Canon 6D Mark II – Video Quality
photo by valio84slvia iStock
If you are not only into capturing stills, but also looking for a camera that has a good video quality, then you should opt for the Canon 5D Mark IV.
Although the Canon 6D Mark II offers Full HD (1080p) video recording, most of the videographers would not be satisfied with this. The technology has advanced and 4K resolution is now more accessible than ever before. Additionally, the 6D Mark II offers only Full HD up to 60p which means you will not have a chance to create slow-motion sequences.
Meanwhile, the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV offers 4K DCI up to 30 fps and possibility to extract 8MP photos from 4K video. It is worth mentioning that 4K video capabilities come with certain disadvantages since there is a 1.6x sensor crop on 4K videos. Also, the camera can make only 1080p videos if you use the external recording. However, this is still much better than what the 6D MII has to offer.
Additionally, the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV allows you to shoot 720p slow-motion videos at 120 fps and it has a headphone port which lacks in the 6D Mark II. Both cameras, however, feature a microphone jack and HDMI output.
The only thing where the 6D Mark II seems to be better than the 5D Mark IV in terms of video is that it has Digital video stabilization.

Canon 5D Mark IV vs Canon 6D Mark II: Body
5D Mark IV
If you are traveling a lot and carrying your camera with yourself everywhere you go, you might want to buy a model that will not be too much of a burden.
Both cameras we are reviewing in this article are mid-size and relatively compact (if you bear in mind they are DSLR models), still, the Canon 6D Mark II has an advantage when it comes to size and weight. The camera has dimensions of 5.67 x 4.35 x 2.94 inches and weight of 24.2 oz (without lens, card, and battery). On the other side, the Canon 5D Mark IV measures 5.93 in × 4.58 in × 2.99 inches and weighs 28 oz (body only).
Although it is a bit bigger and heavier, the Canon 5D Mark IV has much stronger build. Both cameras are weather-sealed, but the 5D Mark IV uses stronger material that makes this camera much more durable.
6D Mark II
Now, let's compare LCD screens and viewfinders of these two cameras. The Canon 5D Mark IV has a bigger LCD display (3,2" vs 3") and higher resolution (1.620k dots vs 1.040k dots), but its screen is fixed. On the other hand, the Canon 6D Mark II has an articulating screen which is definitely of use when you need to shoot images or videos from awkward angles.
With regards to viewfinders, both cameras have the same amount of magnification (0.71x), but the Canon 5D Mark IV features a viewfinder with a coverage of 100%, which means you will shoot exactly what your eye sees. On the other side, the Canon 6D Mark II has a viewfinder with a coverage of 98% which is still quite good but you might not see the edges before you shoot an image.
Canon 5D Mark IV vs Canon 6D Mark II: Connectivity
Both cameras have good connectivity options and you can easily connect them to your smart devices in order to transfer files or conduct remote shooting.
There is a Wi-Fi and NFC capability in both cameras, but only the Canon 6D Mark II uses Bluetooth technology. This is very useful since it is well known that Bluetooth technology sucks up very little energy.
Overall, the Canon 6D Mark II has much longer battery life. On a full charge, you can take 1200 shots with this camera, while you can make only 900 with the Canon 5D Mark IV.
One of the disadvantages of the 6D MII is that it has only one storage slot, while there is a dual card slot in the 5D MIV. Moreover, both cameras support only SDHC and SDXC cards.
Canon 5D Mark IV vs Canon 6D Mark II: Price
Photo by Thom Holmes on Unsplash
Although I can't say either of these cameras are cheap, luckily, there are platforms such as MPB where you can find well-preserved second-hand cameras at a much lower price than it would be if you decide to buy a new one. See why MPB is my go-to used camera retailer in my MPB review.
For example, the price of a new Canon 5D Mark IV is around $3000.00, but if you decide to buy a used one, you will spend only around $2,299.00.
Also, the price of a new Canon 6D Mark II is around $1800, but you can find a used one on MPB at price as low as $1,099.00.

Magazine article Americas (English Edition)
From the Editor
Article excerpt
In 2010, Americas magazine began celebrating the bicentennial of many of the countries in Latin America. In this edition, the spotlight is on Mexico's 200th year of independence hailed by that singular tradition, El Grito (!Viva Mexico!), and the 100th anniversary of the 1910 Mexican Revolution.
With the door to the past open, we take a look at the fascinating and turbulent history of three intriguing places in the region: the once-influential and still beautiful Granada, Nicaragua, located on a strategic route for forty-niners headed west to California; Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay, a port city once hotly disputed by the Spanish and the Portuguese but prized today for its peaceful cobblestone streets and unique mix of architectural styles; and the solitary island of Cubagua, Venezuela, where only traces remain of the fabulous wealth in pearls that once drew fortune seekers and pirates. …

FinTech Adoption Across Generations: Financial Fitness in the Information Age
, ,
NBER Working Paper No. 23798
This paper analyzes how better access to financial information via new technology changes use of consumer credit and affects financial fitness. We exploit the introduction of a smartphone application for personal financial management as a source of exogenous variation. FinTech adoption reduces financial fee payments and penalties, but differs cross-sectionally in the population. After adopting the new technology, Millennials and members of Generation X incur fewer financial fees and penalties, whereas Baby Boomers do not benefit from the technological advance. Millennials and Gen Xers save fees by using their credit cards rather than overdrafts to manage short-term liabilities. Moreover, Millennials shift some of their spending to discretionary entertainment, whereas members of Generation X remain more austere. Finally, while men tend to adopt new technology and access information at a higher rate, the economic impact of access is larger for women.

Know God
Jesus said in Matthew 7:14, "Narrow is the road that leads to life, and few find it".
The following information explains how you can have a personal relationship with God forever.
Good news – God loves you!
The Bible says, God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16). The problem is that…
Sin separates us from God
The Bible says, All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says, The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). See God's plan to remedy this…
Jesus Christ is the only remedy for our sins
Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life — of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me. God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child. As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on His name. You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come in to your life as your Lord and Savior (Romans 5:8; John 14:6; 1:12).
How to accept Jesus Christ
Pray a simple prayer like this to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior: Dear God, I know that I have sinned. I believe You sent Jesus Christ to save me. I believe Jesus was crucified on the cross, He was buried, raised from the dead, and He ascended into heaven and sat down at Your right hand. I thank You
How to live the Christian life
Talk to God in prayer daily: Matthew 21:22 All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive. Mark 11:24 Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
Regularly attend a church that believes in salvation, repentance, healing, deliverance, prosperity, miracles, the rapture, second coming, and the Holy Spirit Baptism: Hebrews 10:25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another — and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Psalm 122:1 I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.
Read God's Word, the Bible, often: 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Always obey God: John 14:21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is He who loves Me. And He who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.
Be a good witness and live for God by your life and words: John 15:8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
Trust God for every detail of your life: 1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
Seek God for the Baptism in the Holy Spirit: The baptism in the Holy Spirit is God's gift of spiritual power to the Church (Acts 2:38; 10:45; Hebrews 6:4). I am going to send you what My Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high. When the day of Pentecost came, they were all with one accord in one place. Suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them (Luke 24:49; Acts 2:1-4). You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you (Acts 1:5).
Trust the Holy Spirit to help you daily: Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

With the holiday season upon us, I like to ponder the many traditions and customs our family has passed down through the generations. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah and New Years are among the most popular of the many holidays celebrated with great joy at this time of year. Celebrations of family, home, community, spirituality, good bounty, gift-giving, and revelry are prevalent. Even those who live by themselves, without family members or other loved ones nearby can find love, comfort and happiness during the traditional festivals.
We may consider traditions and customs similar; however, according to Merriam-Webster, "a custom is a practice common to many or to a particular place or class." On the other hand, "a tradition as an inherited, established or customary pattern of thought, action or behavior, such as a religious practice or a social custom. Traditions are representative of a person's culture."When I was a child, our home barely accommodated six children and two parents, yet we always found room for relatives to celebrate the holidays with us. This meant not only setting up several large tables in the dining room and living room but in the basement as well, to serve our many guests. I recall my brother and I having to surrender our bedrooms, as several distant relatives chose to stay on with our family for several days or longer. Looking back, I find it amazing how we accommodated all those people with only one bathroom!
As my older brothers and sisters started having families of their own, the celebrations grew more contemporary; however we still preserved the traditions and customs of the previous generations. A favorite tradition is the Easter egg-roll and hunt which began when my nieces and nephews were old enough to maneuver the egg on a spoon; a generation later, their children were doing the same and soon, another generation may begin.
Of course, most who celebrate the more common American holidays still have the traditional turkey feast on Thanksgiving, complete with a vast assortment of autumn vegetables and fruit pies, not to mention stuffing and gravy. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who has countless photos of family members with puffed cheeks as they blow out their birthday candles; always an attractive photo. We generally eat similar food on the same holidays too; Lamb on Easter, Fresh Ham on New Year's Day, Corned Beef and Cabbage on St. Patrick's Day, and Turkey on Thanksgiving and Christmas. There are rituals surrounding religious services, and customs of opening or exchanging gifts, stringing popcorn, decorating wreaths and trees, sending cards, putting up lights and so forth, which make the holidays so enjoyable.
Traditions, customs, rituals and habits all have their place in our society. Even if you don't celebrate any of them, you'll find yourself entangled in the labyrinth of holiday madness no matter where you go. From crowded airports and rail stations, to post offices and banks, garden centers, grocery stores and malls; the masses are in full swing when the holidays come around.
It's nice to take time and reminisce about the holiday traditions and customs we hold near to our hearts. Having a large family is wonderful at this time of year however even if I found myself away from home, I would still be able to enjoy the memories and continue the family practices of my past. To me, traditions ignite the embers in a dormant soul which brilliantly surge with the first spark.
Dropping supplies off at our parish food bank followed by church services is the prelude to Thanksgiving morning. I'm looking forward to watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on television this week, as I've done for many years, as I prepare an assortment of baked desserts and side dishes to bring to the celebration at my sister's house. I hope to enjoy a day of gratitude, hope and customarily traditional activity with many family members as we pray for blessings on all.
"A love for tradition has never weakened a nation; indeed it has strengthened nations in their hour of peril." ~ Winston Churchill

High Intensity Interval Training Benefits
High Intensity Interval Training
Are you stuck in a cardio funk? You may be ready to try High Intensity Interval Training, also referred to as HIIT.
High Intensity Interval Training is a style of training in which participants complete short, repeated bouts of high-intensity activity with short amounts of rest in between. When compared with regular intensity, cardio exercises, HIIT has been found to match or surpass results for functional capacity, muscular power, fat and weight loss.
Not only is HIIT shorter in duration to complete than traditional steady state cardio, it can be done almost anywhere with little to no equipment! This style of workout, however, is more appropriate for individuals who have been keeping up with a steady cardio regime and who know it is safe for them to perform faster, more explosive movements; it is not ideal for beginners, obese, pregnant, or elderly individuals.
Fast Facts:
• Burns more calories than steady state cardio during & after workout
• Individuals of all ages & ability can benefit from HIIT style
• Adds fun & variety to workout
• Beneficial to heart health
There has been extensive research to show that for decades, HIIT training has shown a wider range of results than continuous aerobic training. For one, HIIT training requires the heart to pump blood faster and with more force, improving efficiency of cardiovascular function and decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. One of the metabolic benefits of HIIT training is the increase in EPOC, excess post-exercise oxygen consumption. This means that after completing an HIIT workout, oxygen consumption and thus caloric expenditure remains elevated as muscle cells work to restore physiological and metabolic factors in the cell. Endurance athletes in particular may benefit from this style of training; when implemented periodically throughout training programs, HIIT has yielded tremendous results in cardiovascular performance for runners, sprinters, swimmers, and more.
HIIT workouts are designed based on a small duration of high intensity effort followed by a specified amount of rest. As with any workout, warm up properly and start off with a level of effort and time duration suitable to your needs, and then gradually increase the difficulty. This style of training is not meant to completely replace all forms of cardio; it works best when incorporated once or twice a week, on nonconsecutive days, to resist adaptation to steady state cardio and to keep your body challenged.
Example of a sprint training/treadmill workout:
• Warm up: 5-10 minutes of light running
• Interval: 20 seconds of sprints at max running speed
• Rest: 10 seconds rest between each sprint, light jog or walk
• (2:1 work/rest ratio) to be repeated 10-15 times
• Cool down: 10 minutes jog or fast walk
HIIT allows you to be creative with your cardio workouts. Some exercises that can incorporate into an HIIT workout in your own home, at the gym, park, or beach with minimal equipment:
• Squat jumps
• Jump rope
• Row machine
• Burpees/tuck jumps
As with any exercise, be sure to consult a physician or certified personal trainer to assess your individual fitness level. Interested in starting a fitness plan? Get 3 Personal Training Sessions for $99! Call to book today.

[MAZE] Cat A - Escape from the Jungle Temple
kritch posted a topic in Special LEGO ThemesYou awake on a cold stone slab at the top of towering stepped pyramid, the last thing you remember was sharp pain in the back of your head before it all went dark. You can't see anyone around but you're sure things won't end well if you hang around here. You quickly descend the pyramid, afraid to look back. There are huts at the bottom and you try to sneak between them, keeping out of sight, You pass what could be a ball game court and head for the cover of the jungle, heading up a hill, you're faced with a rickety bridge, it doesn't look stable and the valley below is deep and the water dark and fast flowing, but there is no other option but to cross, Your heart is beating when you make it to the other side, you start running, pushing branches of jungle trees out of your way when suddenly the ground gives way....... A spiked pit trap! ....... you manage to keep your footing and swerve around it and soon the jungle opens out and you are standing on a cliff. What's that on the horizon? it's your ship... they're waiting for you. You run to the edge but it's too high to jump, and it looks like there are sharks in the water, you have to find a way down to the beach, Reluctantly you head back into the jungle, you try to fight against it but your path seems to be drawing you back under the ominous shadow of the great pyramid, Soon you are at its foot, the jungle is thick all around it, it looks like a dead end. Then just when you are about to give up you find an opening to a tunnel, its dark, but what other choice do you have.... The tunnel is long but there is a small glow that suggests an exit, so you run towards it..... Eugh, the exit is a mass of cobwebs and spiders, but you're out of the tunnel and back into.... ...more jungle, and its leading you back to the village. It's dusk and you stick to the shadows, skirting around the edge of the pillars of a grey building that could be a palace you head through a garden and back into the trees, The path is over-grown with plants and you duck and weave between branches and leaves and scramble over roots, putting as much distance between you and the pyramid as you can, The light is fading as night approaches but there is a flicker of fire ahead. You emerge into a clearing and stare up in horror at the grinning face of a jaguar carved into the living rock, its mouth open and its stalactite-like teeth seemingly gnashing in the eerie glow of the brazier's flames. There is only one path, so with mounting dread you head cautiously between its teeth. The cave is dark and you narrowly avoid falling into a pit on your right, but heading left you emerge once again into jungle, it's almost dawn. but this time the vegetation is less dense and seems to be sloping gently downwards to the sea, You see a sail... your ship has moored at the beach, you run towards it, and safety.....

Metal Wall Art "Abstract Arrangements" are made by combining hand-colored and patina'd pieces of steel into layered, stacked or split studies of color, depth, texture and rustic, aged beauty.
These pieces are mostly exercises in a sort of freewheeling along through the creative process. The initial idea of the arrangement is there but the colors, textured elements and final placement reveal themselves intuitively along the way.

Agents Of SHIELD: 2.12 Who You Really Are
The mystery of the Inhumans and Skye's new powers continued to deepen this week as a seemingly separate storyline involving the returning Lady Sif delved into the bigger plot. The incident in the temple had not gone by unnoticed in the larger universe, with the Kree and Asgard on the case to track down new Kree / Human super soldiers. The stakes certainly seem to be getting higher.
This week was another example of the show building on the foundations of last year. By bringing in Lady Sif in season one, shortly before the HYDRA plot kicked off, there was no need to introduce the more cosmic elements of the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the TV show. Sif had come to Earth to hunt a Kree, who in turns was hunting the Inhumans...specifically Skye and Raina. It was interesting to see another side to the Kree race, with Warehouse 13's Eddie McClintock adding a likeability to his Vin-Tak that was a millions miles away from Guardian Of The Galaxy's Ronan or the slightly more insidious nature of the faction that created the soldiers on Earth.
Jaimie Alexander added to her character with some lovely moments, particularly when she was missing her memory. I particularly loved her involuntary smile when Coulson mentioned Thor - and May's whole hearted agreement. Also the various bits of knowledge from her childhood, like the known languages of every race known to Asgard. Sif and Vin-Tak also allowed for some super-powered action sequences from the opening battle on the Pier to the moment they decided to take down the threat that was Skye.
I am glad that the show hasn't dragged out Skye hiding her newfound powers from the team for weeks on end. There was a certain amount of shock and betrayal when they found the truth - Simmons was particularly devastated by Fitz's decision to hide the results from her and his assertions that she would consider Skye something to be destroyed. Though while I never fully believed that she would harm Skye, her comments regarding the super-powered threats to Earth have been on the extreme side over the last couple of weeks.
In the end, they chose to save Skye; May continued to play the big sister role to Skye as she hid her from Sif and Vin-Tak. But for the second week in a row Mac was the one to voice dissent in the ranks, stating that they were the ones that needed protection from Skye. A grain of truth perhaps, but I felt for Skye as she overheard the whole thing and retreated to her 'bunker' to shield herself from everyone.
Talking of Mac, his secret allegiance to another force outside SHIELD took a small step in its development this week, though I am glad Bobbi outrightly said they weren't HYDRA. I am guessing it is something similar to SHIELD, but with its own agenda and that neither Mac or Bobbi are evil. Lance naturally didn't buy the whole support group thing but his questions took him too far; with Mac attacking him at the end of the episode. Between Skye and this betrayal, there are sure to be some emotional shock waves that are going to tear this group apart in the coming weeks.
Neither episode has been as riveting as the final run of episodes before the mid-season break, but I am intrigued as to the direction the show is going. For two weeks we have been teased about the Inhumans; this week more information came to light and with the discovery that all the diviners are missing, I suspect that there are going to be quite a few more revelations before this season is over.

Sixty Two Terraces Syrah
"Deep ruby-colored, the 2015 Sixty Two Terraces Syrah was mostly destemmed (there's 18% whole clusters) and spent 21 months in 40% new 300-liter French oak barrels. Black cherries, tart plum, smoked earth, and ample peppery notes all emerge from the glass, and it's tight yet concentrated on the palate. With good acidity and ripe, polished tannins, it needs 2-3 years of bottle age to develop more complexity and will keep through 2028." 92+ points- Jeb Dunnuck
"There is a strong sense of minerality to the nose of this bottling, with aromas of wet stone, turned loam and moist clay covering up the background fruits. The structure is very tannic on the palate, where elderberry and purple-flower flavors emerge from the soil-like core. "
91 points- Matt Kettman, Wine Enthusiast

This is my entry for @upmewhale's Writing Contest. :)
I found the topic very interesting because it concerns everyone who uses the Internet in various countries all over the world.
I'm from the Philippines, and I'm going to share information about Internet Restrictions in my country.
Disclaimer: The things that you're about to read are based on the articles I've read as well as my own observation. It might not be as accurate as the real status.
As many of you have noticed, there are a huge number of active Filipino netizens. You get to see them anywhere in the Internet, in any social media possible. Even in Steemit, there are a lot of Filipinos (though our number has decreased drastically, unfortunately).
Filipinos of all ages can access the Internet quite easily these days. If in the past we need to have Internet connection at home to access the Internet, nowadays you just need a smartphone and you can easily connect through either Wi-Fi or prepaid data.
Free Wi-Fi is available in some public places, though it's not that fast because a lot of people are connected to it at the same time. As for prepaid data, even Php15 ($0.30) can allow you to enjoy 100MB of data and an additional MB for one social media site like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.
In case you don't have a smartphone or PC at home, there are a lot of Internet cafes around... there is also a so-called "PisoNet".
You just insert one peso in the slot, then you can enjoy using the PC and the Internet for 5 minutes. :) Once your 5 minutes is over, the PC automatically turns off. Feel free to add more to extend your usage.
There's one thing to keep in mind though... When there are really big events like huge festivals or some important ceremonies where an enormous number of people gather, access to the Internet is blocked. NOt only the Internet, but also mobile signals. This is to ensure the safety of the people attending the event.
When it comes to limitations especially to the content that we share, we don't really suffer much. We are free to write whatever we want and watch or read whatever we want. However, I have read an article before that Filipinos cannot easily access pornographic sites, but I think there will be ways to access even forbidden sites without getting caught. haha
In my case, I want to play some mobile games which are not available in the Philippines so I downloaded an app which can change my VPN and allow me to download the game that I want to play. Since I was able to do this, I strongly believe that there are ways to access such sites. lol
Despite not being censored on the things that you write, most people especially journalists are careful in what they write. Sadly, there have been crimes which occurred against journalists in the past so they are careful on what they report... be it on the Internet, newspaper, radio or TV.
Human Rights Violation
It was some time in 2012 when the freedom of speech of Filipinos was at risk. If I remember correctly, there was a proposed law called Cybercrime Law in the Philippines which was clearly a violation of human rights. It became a very huge issue at that time. There were even anonymous organizations who hacked some government websites that time.
I mean, it's OK to go against cybersex or child pornography... but what the law included that time was about online libel which didn't have enough details. There were articles then which says that when a person likes a status on Facebook which is against the government or so, the person who liked the status will also be punished.
It was crazy because the punishment for online libel was even graver that punishment for rape. (Yeah, that was the thing that shocked me that year when I read several articles about the law.)
I believe it was later on revised. Recently, there was a libel case filed against a news website "Rappler", I don't know much about its details though, but I believe the case is still ongoing. But compared to the law proposed in 2012, it's now more defined and detailed so people need not worry much. ;)
Personal Thoughts:
I find the Internet very useful as my job is connected to it. As long as you abide to the law and not hurt others through your posts online, then there'll be no problem.
Do you have Filipino virtual friends? :) What do you think of them? ^^
I'll end my post here. Thank you so much and have a great day! (^_^)

A-Students unions are necessary in the colleges and universities solely to interact between the students and the managements. It will be better if these unions work independently of the political affiliations. The political affiliations of the students organisations cause unnecessary clash of interests among the various groups of students. They should be used to get more welfare amenities for the students from the managements. The students unions can work in the interest of the students if the leaders of the student unions are honest and sincere and they do not collude with the managements lured by selfish benefits for themselves. The students unions are the working platform for the creation of good leaders from among the students. Most of our political leaders and their leadership qualities are the direct contribution of the students' organisations. Quality leaders from the educated elite of colleges and universities can lead our country to progress.
I think Student Unions are a must in the colleges and universities. These unions can play a very constructive role in upliftment of the colleges/universities and can serve as a link between the management and the student community for creating a congenial atmosphere in the campus. Unfortunately, it does not happen every time. Since many political parties are connected with these unions, there is lot of political interference which negates the very purpose for which these unions are constituted. Non-political nature of unions can be tried out and the elected leader can be educated about the demarcation of roles they need to play as union leaders.

..As Community Dismisses Claims Of Murder
Controversy still trails the death of a member of OSPAC, a local vigilante in Oduoha, Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The OSPAC member was reportedly killed when the bullet from the gun of one of his colleagues caught up with him last week Tuesday.
Eyewitness account has it that the incident resulted in pandemonium as residents scampered for safety.
The deceased OSPAC personnel was said to have been confirmed death when he was rushed to an undisclosed hospital.
Our source further revealed that the security personnel whose nuzzle the bullet came from was arrested by the officers from Rumuji Divisional Police headquarters where he is presently being detained.
Another source had claimed that the shooting was as a result of misunderstanding between the two members of the outfit.
However, the Secretary of Emohua Council of Traditional Rulers, Eze Oha Godspower Orlu who also hails from the community dismissed claims of murder. He told our reporter that it was an accidental discharge.
He disclosed that the families of the two OSPAC members and the entire stakeholders in the community have met and the issue resolved since it was not a case of murder. Eze Oha Orlu further stated that the security outfit was very instrumental to the relative peace the community is enjoying and the village will be sending more persons for training and subsequent recruitment.
When contacted, the spokesperson of Rivers State Police command, Nnamdi Omoni told our reporter via a text message that he was not aware of the incident yet.
Many natives had also confirmed the incident.
