Recovered for Life
Recovered for Life might seem like a bold statement. But is it? Is it unreasonable to believe that you and your loved one can recover from alcoholism/drug addiction permanently? Is it unreasonable to think that you and your family could become a whole unit and help other families find recovery?
Our alumni and parents used to think this way as well. They thought that they could not achieve permanent recovery and they were right. They were right because that was their experience. We had to stretch their vision. Our founder and his family had this same belief system for many years. Robert started going in and out of treatment centers and other institutions at the age of 17. Every time he would gain much knowledge of his condition as an alcoholic/addict but would fail to take action because he had the mindset that this time would be the same as the last attempt at recovery. Even his family fell victim to the belief that Robert would never get sober and why would they think differently? Robert had repeatedly proven to them that he would get sober for a few weeks or months, he would build up hope in the family system and then Robert would fall victim to a belief that every addict/alcoholic has; he would believe this time he could control and enjoy his drinking/using. Robert would once again break the promises he had made to his family.
With these experiences of countless failures towards recovery Robert and his family were baffled at which direction they should go, his family asked themselves why can't my son just stop? Why can't he see the damage he is causing himself and those around him? In April 2012 after going to four treatment centers and other institutions, Robert and his family opened up a Sober Living Environment in Austin Texas. Robert envisioned creating an environment that challenged men to go beyond traditional treatment methods of getting sober. Instead of telling these men what to do, Robert and the Any Length team talked about why we get to be in recovery and how to be disciplined in their daily lives. Four years later in November 2016, Any Length would open up a new facility, Any Length Retreat. Any Length Retreat is for men like Robert who have tried the traditional treatment method over and over again with no permanent success.
We have created an alternative that will produce the results you and your family want if you are willing to go to Any Length for victory over your addiction. Robert and many other men have recovered for life by participating fully in the Any Length Program and 12 step recovery fellowships. They began their journey by reaching out for help and have continued to remain free by staying willing, honest, and open minded in their daily lives. Any Length gives men an opportunity to create a new possibility in their lives by getting them involved in a constant action.

This interactive map shows active fire data from MODIS and VIIRS instruments for Tunceli Province, Turkey. The data covers the annual dry season from May to October each year. MODIS active fire data spans 2010 to 2018. VIIRS active fire data spans from 2012 to 2018. The MODIS or VIIRS data layers may be hidden by clicking the layers on and off. Each "active fire" point represents a hotspot or individual fire detected by the algorithm. More information about each fire detected can be found by clicking the points on the map.
Yearly Accounts
The maps and graphs below show the location and the total number of active fires detected each year, during the annual dry season (i.e., May to October), by MODIS and VIIRS respectively.
For both MODIS and VIIRS AF products, fire count is highest in 2017, with 38 and 233 fires detected for MODIS and VIIRS products respectively. Fire counts for both products show an increase in the number of fires after the year 2015.
Monthly Accounts
Both MODIS and VIIRS AF products show higher fire counts in August and September each season. May had the lowest fire count of both the products. The largest amount of fires detected by both products for any month is in September 2018, where VIIRS detected 123 fires and MODIS detected 19 fires.
Accuracy of Fire Products
The accuracy or "correctness" of the MODIS and VIIRS active fire products has been researched in papers by Giglio (2016) and Schroeder (2014) respectively.
According to Giglio (2016), the MODIS active fire product omitted approximately 86% of fire from sampled regions around the globe. However, the error size decreases when the fire size increases, indicating the product is useful for detecting larger fires. For fires greater than 0.20 km2 the number of fires omitted stabilizes around 5%. Furthermore, 1.2% of the fires detected during the daytime were incorrectly classified as fires. However, the number of incorrectly classified fires during the night was negligible.
According to Schroeder (2014), a full quantitative error analysis of the VIIRS active fire product is not yet available due to the limitation of paired reference datasets overlapping in time, which is important for temporal accuracy. However, fires incorrectly classified in the initial assessments are deemed minimal.

FDBKA Beekeeping Course 2020
If you are serious about learning more about Beekeeping why not join the basic beekeeping course which John Hoar is organising beginning in January 2020?
National Honey Monitoring Scheme
The National Honey Monitoring Scheme is a long-term programme set up in 2018 that will use techniques to identify plant DNA and measure environmental contaminants, such as pesticide residues in honey produced in the UK.
All amateur and professional beekeepers are asked to register their interest in taking part by emailing the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) email@example.com. The viability of the monitoring scheme will depend upon sufficient numbers of beekeepers expressing an interest in participating.
A pilot study identified widespread residues of neonicotinoid pesticides in honey samples collected from BBKA members across the UK. I took part in this pilot study and sent a sample of my honey to CEH in 2015, the analysis of which found imidacloprid (a neonicotinoid). The location of my apiary is close to commercial glass houses and a PYO farm, although it might have been picked up elsewhere.
Fareham members are therefore encouraged to volunteer for this survey by emailing the CEH. Further details can be found on the BBKA website at https://www.bbka.org.uk/news/national-honey-monitoring-scheme and CEH https://www.ceh.ac.uk/our-science/projects/national-honey-monitoring-scheme

When innovation districts and innovation neighborhoods are thoughtfully aligned, cities can expect more inclusiveness, educational opportunity and socioeconomic impact.
This is a guest post by David Sandel.
In the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program report "The Rise of Innovation Districts: A New Geography of Innovation in America," the authors describe an emerging urban model called "innovation districts."
As described in the report, "these districts, by our definition, are geographic areas where leading-edge anchor institutions and companies cluster and connect with startups, business incubators and accelerators. They are also physically compact, transit-accessible and technically-wired, and offer mixed-use housing, office and retail." These innovation districts also tend to be "where underutilized areas (particularly older industrial areas) are being re-imagined and remade."
Because innovation districts generally appeal to people or organizations familiar with a university or institutional setting, they can be somewhat of an exclusive club utilized by persons of a higher educational or socioeconomic status.
Certainty, having institutionally-oriented innovation districts is of great value. They can create high-value jobs, accelerate the development of new companies, and attract public- and private-sector investment. However, given their cultural and socioeconomic dynamic, institutionally-led innovation districts can only capture a specific portion of a city's innovation market capacity.
What is important for a city to understand about this dynamic?
For a city to maximize its socioeconomic output in the new economy, the city or region has to engage the greatest depth of its innovation market capacity. Implementing new forms of inclusion are central to achieving greater socioeconomic impact.
This leads us to a new vision for innovation neighborhoods.
Innovation neighborhoods function at the center of community life and are therefore organically inclusive in nature. They are neighborhoods that have a unique sense of place and are capable of attracting a diverse creative community that welcomes all comers, regardless of education level or socioeconomic class. Innovation neighborhoods thrive on talent without focusing on how it arrives.
For an innovation neighborhood to thrive, a deep understanding of the neighborhood – and its sense of place, socioeconomic potential, infrastructure and entrepreneurial ecosystem – is essential. When innovation districts and innovation neighborhoods are thoughtfully aligned, cities can expect more inclusiveness, educational opportunity and socioeconomic impact.
Want to learn more? Last year, NLC released a comprehensive report on innovation districts, highlighting the progress made in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and in this blog post, Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke tells the story of how his city became a hotbed for entrepreneurship and innovation.

The X Files: 10.06 My Struggle II
There was always the danger that with only six episodes of The X Files revival, some elements would be rushed. And with the season finale (I refuse to believe this is the end), the story rushed through at breakneck speed. Having recently rewatched epic three-part stories like the Anasazi / The Blessing Way, Paper Clip and the latter Gethsemane / Redux two parter, My Struggle II felt like it was a three-part story squashed down into one, with the concluding part missing. Because there was no doubt that Chris Carter failed for the third time in The X Files' history to deliver a satisfying conclusion to the epic series that he began all the way back with the Pilot in 1993.
And while it may feel petty to refer back to the all times greats of the series' mythology, My Struggle II was, with all respect, an attempt by Carter to bring that long-running storyline to a head. The cataloguing of human subjects through Smallpox vaccinations, Scully's abduction and the testing and creation of alien / human hybrids, the conspiracy of men to work in the shadows towards the pursuit of power - this was it. The apocalypse, alien invasion of whatever you want to call that 2012 date revealed in the season nine finale - it was all about the eradication of the human race through genetic cataloguing and experimentation and the creation of what was essentially a master human race through the manipulation of alien DNA. In the same way that alien technology was was used to create powerful technologies like that seen in the first episode of the revival. It was never about alien ships raining down destruction on Earth Independance Day style; it was about the application of alien materials for world domination.
It is an idea I could really get behind and for the most part makes sense; though you probably wouldn't have thought that given the ludicrous speed at which the episode progressed. There was no subtlety from the episode when it came to the events that transpired in Carter's fraught script. Gillian Anderson proved she had the acting chops to carry the trite revelations that the first soldier in the hospital had been infected with anthrax deliberately and then tell a returning Agent Einstein that soon everyone would be infected in a global apocalypse. The jump from one illness to the seemingly national (if not global) pandemic made Scully comes across as a loon and then when it happened on screen it felt like the episode had skipped several key scenes.
And that's the real crux of the problem with the finale. It felt over the top not necessary because of the events at play - being the culmination of much of the show's mythology - but because one minute Scully was spouting conspiracy paranoia and the next minute EVERYONE was dying! And was it me or did it all feel like the apocalypse on the budget? There was more Tad O'Malley telling the audience that there was a crisis than Mulder or Scully (and the audience) witnessing it. The only scene that suited the grand scale of Carter's story was the final scene on the crowded bridge as Scully rushed to save Mulder and then encountered the UFO in what was surely nothing more than a forced cliff-hanger moment to remind the audience that this was a show about aliens.
One of the best things about the revival has been the chance to see Mulder and Scully in action again and yet for the second episode in a row Carter kept them apart. In fact, they didn't get any screentime together until the last minute when Scully realised with dread that Mulder was too far gone and needed stem cells from the missing son William to survive. Mulder barely got anything to do in this episode - resigned to a flashback where one of the Cigarette Smoking Man's lackeys tried to kill him and then confronting the villain in his 'secret lair'. William B Davis was in full on evil mode this time, manipulating the chaos erupting across the US from his home and unmasking his face to show the full horror of his burns - missing nose and all. In the end Agent Miller (a somewhat forgettable Robbie Amell) rescues Mulder from certain death after he refuses to make a deal for immortality.
But hey, at least Gillian Anderson got plenty to do this episode (again making it ludicrous that she was originally offered half of what David Duchovny got to return). Uncovering the conspiracy, searching for a cure with her own human alien DNA resulting from her abduction and starting to turn the tide against the dying populace. And she also reconnected with another key character from late in the show's run, Annabeth Gish's Monica Reyes. I always kind of liked her and Doggett together, working the X Files in season nine. So to turn her into some kind of coward-meets Mr X was just inexplicable. A flashback saw her make a deal with the Cigarette Smoking Man, but for what? To protect herself when the outbreak finally happened? At least poor Doggett didn't get the same treatment (or even a mention for that matter).
So what to make of the finale? Well I thought as an end game, the story was rather great; it was the execution that was just plain bizarre. Too many leaps of faith for the audience to take - one minute Scully is ranting about a secret conspiracy to bring down humanity (without any real explanation of how she knew all this) and the next everyone is dying. It should have at least been a closing two parter. Mulder meanwhile was wasted (as was Skinner for the entire season) and some character motivations like Reyes contradicted everything that had come before. But most frustratingly, knowing that this might be his only chance to wrap everything up, Chris Carter ended season 10 a cliffhanger.
And what about the revival as a whole? Was it worth it? I love The X Files and some episodes I have watched numerous times. Chris Carter made some seminal television but here with season ten he was arguably the weakest element, his three episodes My Struggle, Babylon and this being the three inferior stories. The story we saw in the finale could have easily filled six episodes and in some ways that might have been better.
But on the other side, it was the three standalone cases that were the best The X Files season 10 had to offer. Founder's Mutation had some truly memorable moments and a twisted tale of human experimentation, Mulder & Scully Meet the Were-Monster had some wonderful comedy moments from writer Darin Morgan and I found that with its horrific monster and the very personal case for Scully, Home Again was pure classic X Files. Having Mulder and Scully back on TV was a real treat and I would love to have more - but is it a case of Chris Carter needing to be reigned in and deliver us an actual ending to The X Files?

Queer Terror - Life Death and Desire in the Settler Colony
C. Heike Schotten
Publisher: Columbia University Press
After Sept. 11, 2001, George W. Bush declared, "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." Bush's assertion was not simply jingoist bravado—it encapsulates the civilizationalist moralism that has motivated and defined the United States since its beginning, linking the War on Terror to the nation's settlement and founding.In Queer Terror, C. Heike Schotten offers a critique of U.S. settler-colonial empire that draws on political, queer, and critical indigenous theory to situate Bush's either/or moralism and reframe the concept of terrorism. The categories of the War on Terror exemplify the moralizing politics that insulate U.S. empire from critique, render its victims deserving of its abuses, and delegitimize resistance to it as unthinkable and perverse. Schotten provides an anatomy of this moralism, arguing for a new interpretation of biopolitics that is focused on sovereignty and desire rather than racism and biology. This rethinking of biopolitics puts critical political theory of empire in dialogue with the insights of both native studies and queer theory. Building on queer theory's refusal of sanctity, propriety, and moralisms of all sorts, Schotten ultimately contends that the answer to Bush's ultimatum is clear: dissidents must reject the false choice he presents and stand decisively against "us," rejecting its moralism and the sanctity of its "life," in order to further a truly emancipatory, decolonizing queer politics.

Panama: And the Marlin Continue!May 2, 2012
Northern Panama is a world all it's own. With three boats on the water, the West Coast Fishing Club is combing the waters around Coiba National Park like a well organized search party. Today it was Captain Jose and the Sula Sula that put angler Joe Friederichs onto a big blue. The fish ate a live bait on a down rigger and fought by sounding. As it didn't surface for more than an hour, all aboard thought it was a big tuna.
It was only when Andres grabbed the 400 pound leader and began putting the heat to him in earnest– after Joe fought the fish for more than an hour– that the fish's bill broke the surface of the water and it revealed itself to be a nice blue. The fish proceeded to put on an aerial display across the back of the Sula Sula, as Jessica recorded the action. Good photographers have a knack for themselves at the right place at the right time and Jessica's positioning on the bridge made for some really good pictures. She always seems to make this happen.
You can tell this fish was a blue marlin, instead of a black, as its pectoral fins are folded back against its today. A mature black marlin's pectoral fins are rigid, fixed, thrusting out away from its body like the wings of an airplane.
Aboard the Abondancia Captain Donar and angler Estuardo Mazariegas of Guatemala caught a nice black. Jessica, shooting from the Sula Sula, caught some incredible images of the fish jumping behind the boat. For perspective on the size of the fish, compare the marlin to the people aboard. The ability of a fish of that size to leap so effortlessly and incredibly out the water is one of the ways in which marlin fishing can so easily turn into an obsession. Estuardo is a great guy, very friendly. Today he released a really good fish and was fortunate to have a world class photographer on the boat next to him.
It was a good day. The only thing that could interrupt the fishing stories were Chef Katie's homemade gnocchi. It was a good day.
Jessica's story below…
Hello Everyone,
Today was an amazing day out on the water. The day started off a bit rainy with big bulbs of thunder and lighting, but then warmed up and the rain ended just in time for some serious fishing to take place. I managed to snap a couple shots of 2 different Marlin fights today. One fight for Captain Donar's boat and the other for Captain Jose's.
Check out some of the shots from todays catches:
Marlin #1: Joe Friederichs 650 lbs Blue Marlin
Joe's 1hr and 50min Marlin fight in stand up gear. What we initially thought was a large tuna ended up being a very LARGE Marlin! The Marlin just sat in the water, not wanting to budge. Right before Mate Andres grabbed the leader, he yelled "Marlin, Marlin, Marlin", we all broke out into cheer and disbelief that this so called "Tuna" ended up being such a large Marlin. I guess there is a first for everything!
Joe looking serious!
And the fight continues!
Captain Jose, wondering whats really on the line?
and the fight keeps going…and going…and going…..
Joe and Andres thought they had finished reeling up the "Tuna". Joe can be seen taking off his reeling belt, until Andres yells "Marlin, Marlin, Marlin".
1.5hrs in. Joe is feeling it now! Brad's lending a hand, so we don't lose Joe over board!
1 hr and 50min was the duration of Joe Friederichs fight with a very large Marlin! The boys are all smiles after that one.
Marlin #2:
Guest Estuardo Mazariegos caught the second Marlin of the day. Here are some shots of his lucky catch!
Estuardo's big Marlin Black Marlin.
Finally heading home after a long day of fishing!
Pac Pro looking great against her new surroundings!
Shipped recked sailboat on Coiba.
Today was an amazing day. 5 Marlin in 2 days is pretty incredible!
Once again can't wait to see what tomorrow could possibly bring.

Subject knowledge enhancement (SKE) courses
Don't hold back from applying for teacher training due to your subject confidence – you can top up your subject knowledge with an SKE. These fully funded courses are available if:
- your degree wasn't in your chosen subject, but is closely related
- you studied the subject at A level, but not at degree level
- you have an unrelated degree, but relevant professional experience in the subject
- it's been some time since you used your degree knowledge
SKE courses are available in: maths, physics, languages, chemistry, computing, biology, geography, English, design and technology, and primary maths. Schools or universities will identify your need for an SKE as part of their selection process, usually at interview. If they feel you need to enhance your knowledge, but have potential to be a great teacher, they'll offer you a teacher training place on the condition that you complete an SKE course.
Length of courses
The length can vary from an eight-week refresher course to 28 weeks. Your training provider will decide the course lengths, which will depend on the required specialist knowledge you'll need to teach the subject effectively.
Tax-free SKE bursary of up to £5,600
You could get a tax-free SKE bursary of £200 per week to support you throughout the course. Depending on the course length, in total you could receive a bursary of £5,600 for a 28-week course or £2,400 for a shorter course of 12 weeks.
Teach RE DfE Funded SKE 200 hour course
This course is specifically for those students who have been granted funding by the Department for Education through their ITT Provider to undertake a SKE course before or during their ITT year beginning in September 2019.
Students undertaking this funded SKE course are entitled to a bursary of £200 per week for the 8 weeks they are studying ( or part time equivalent). This is administered through the ITT provider who has offered the student a conditional place.
Delivery of SKE courses
SKE courses are available all over England at universities, schools, or with other organisations. They can be completed before, or alongside your teacher training and are available to study full-time or part-time, classroom-based or on-line. The SKE directory sets out what courses are provided.
SKE in modern foreign languages

Acqua Pazza is a classic Italian recipe, healthy and tasty! This cooking method is originating of Southern-Italy and commonly attributed to the Neapolitan cuisine. The traditional recipe wants the fish cooked whole with simple ingredients, whereas the contemporary way prefers to stew fillets of fish along with a delicious fish stock prepared with the bones and the head of the fish. Here both recipes and the origin of Acqua Pazza!
CALAMARATA PASTA WITH SQUID SAUCE: traditional Neapolitan recipe
Calamarata is one of the most loved Neapolitan shapes of pasta. These big Maccheroni are often paired with fish and seafood, and particularly with squids and tomatoes sauce that take its name from the pasta. Here the classic recipe of Neapolitan Calamarata!
POMAROLA – Tuscan tomatoes sauce for pasta: my family recipe!
Pomarola is the recipe of my childhood. An everyday sauce tossed with pasta that had been waiting for me back from school. Simple and delicious, with Tuscany roots like my mom's family. Sauteed vegetables, blended with fresh tomatoes and basil leaves: easy, quick, and tasty!
PICO DE GALLO RECIPE & HISTORY – Traditional Mexican salsa!
Pico de Gallo is one of the most simple and popular Mexican sauces. This "salsa" is a must-to-serve dish over the tables of the Mexican restaurants, along with Nachos, Salsa Picante, and Salsa Tomatillo. Called also Salsa Bandera (flag sauce) because of the same colors of the Mexican Flag, Pico de Gallo is made with simple and healthy ingredients, without any fat adding: it's vegan, and it's delicious! Here the whole history and the traditional recipe!
BAKED TOMATOES GRATIN ITALIAN-STYLE: authentic Mediterranean taste!
This baked tomatoes gratin recipe is a classic Italian delish, and a fun way to feed your kids with healthy ingredients! By now, this dish is typical in all the Italian regions but mainly traditional in Southern Italy. The filling may vary depending on the local cuisines and family traditions: today, I prepared an Apulian variation of baked tomatoes, but as usual, follow your taste and make your own stuffing!
CHARRED OKRA AND TOMATOES STEW with smoked paprika and mint
Charred okra and tomatoes stew is a recipe perfect to serve at a BBQ party! This delish is great also prepared in your kitchen with the help of a cast iron pan: just remember to clean and season the pan after the use. The okra is cut into halves and stir-fried until charred, then seasoned with a delicious cherry tomatoes sauce. Finally, the okra is slow-cooked depending on the grade of cooking you prefer: simple, healthy and tasty!
FOCACCIA BREAD LOCATELLI: quick and easy Italian flatbread!
A Focaccia bread thick and fluffy ready in less than two hours? It is possible, and it is soo tasty! Focaccia Locatelli is a no-knead recipe, very soft Italian flatbread, and super easy to make. The classic version does not provide for any toppings, but I strongly suggest you garnish your focaccia with your favorite ingredients. Here I choose stuffed green olives, cherry tomatoes, and gorgonzola crumbles, but the only limit is your fantasy!
ROASTED MIXED VEGETABLES with provencal herbs and cheese
Today roasted mixed vegetables! This recipe is great all year long, but I like serve it aside grilled meat or egg frittata in my garden enjoying a summer dinner with my friends. At this time, I choose my preferred vegetables and cheese, but it's possible change ingredients as you prefer. Provencal herbs give a particular taste at this roasted mixed vegetables, I love them so much!
RICOTTA CHEESE PASTA with tomato sauce, basil and pine nuts
Ricotta cheese pasta is one of the recipes I liked most in my childhood. This sauce for pasta is very easy and fast, just combine ricotta along with fresh basil, Parmigiano Reggiano and tomato sauce. Crushed pine nuts are the crunchy part of this recipe and give a particular taste! Today I opted for strozzapreti, a traditional Italian kind of pasta, but this sauce is delicious with any shape of short pasta or spaghetti as well!
EASY TOMATOES SAUCE ITALIAN WAY with garlic and fresh basil
This Easy tomatoes sauce is so tasty and fast to prepare! Tomatoes are cooked along with garlic and sweet basil, just the time to soft them. The more tomatoes are ripe, the more sauce will be delicious! To prepare this recipe a vegetable mill is not mandatory, but I strongly suggest to use it. A blender works fine as well, but the sauce texture will be not the same!

Too often, Watercolours are stiff, rigid, tight and ultimately, boring. Half the fun is watching them paint themselves. In this workshop, we'll concentrate on creating traditional scenes in a fun and dynamic way where TONE is The King and Atmosphere is The Queen. A big part of the course will be learning to let go of the restraints and shackles that sometimes grip far too tightly onto the brushes and minds of a watercolourist. There is no snobbery here, just fun and learning.
Let's splash some paint around!!
Materials List - Tony White
These are merely suggestions based on what I use personally, but feel free to just bring whatever materials you are familiar and comfortable with.
We'll be working from original references that I'll be providing electronically and working on Quarter-Sheet or A3 sized paper, so please bring a board and easel to suit and set up comfortably just as you would at home.
I will set up on a table-top easel and paint sitting down, but you set up however you like.
Paper: (this is the only thing I am pedantic about. You will not get good results with bad paper) Saunders OR Arches, Rough 300gsm
Brushes: Mops, Fans, Rounds, Hakes, Flats, Riggers. Variety of sizes.
Colours: Brand-wise, I use Schmincke. They are fantastic quality but once again, you don't have to go and spend up big. Anything you have already, we will work with and if you're on a budget, Cotman student-grade paints do a great job.
My Colour palette is as follows
Neutral Tint
Burnt Sienna
Transparent (or Cadmium) Orange
Turner's (or Cadmium) Yellow
Brilliant Blue Violet (or any cool violet)
Bordeaux (or Alizarin Crimson)
Scarlet Red (or just a BRIGHT red)
Ultramarine Blue
Cobalt Blue
Jaune Brilliant (Holbein do this as well or Naples Yellow will get us there as well)
Titanium White
Notebook or sketchbook and pencil
Water container
Hairdryer and Extension lead
Spray Bottle
Old credit card or keycard . Something to scrape with if needed.
Masking tape or bulldog clips for your backing board (whatever your preference is)
Enthusiasm and willingness to have a great day! (NOT negotiable) J
Testemonial from student in Brisbane
I would just like to thank you for such a wonderful workshop over the past three days. I had always wanted to try watercolour painting and was always too intimidated by it but you literally gave me the confidence I needed to start and now I have, I'm finding just how much fun and how liberating watercolours are! Your method of teaching was informative, inspirational and relaxed, the perfect environment to foster a blossoming love for this wonderful medium and I can't wait to do another workshop with you again sometime in the near future. Thank you again!! All the very best, Carrie

In this day in age, identity theft is a very real and unfortunate occurrence, knowing how to protect yourself is your first defense.
Identity Theft: Learning To Protect Yourself
We live in a world in which identity theft affects us all. At every corner, at every turn, there may be a thief just waiting for us to let our guard down, constant awareness of your documents and surroundings is necessary to guard yourself against this travesty. The following are ten tips on how you can protect yourself against identity theft.
Tip #1 - Lighten the weight of your purse or wallet.
Carrying all your identification and credit cards in either can create a disastrous situation for you in the event that your purse or wallet is stolen. You should only keep what you need daily in order to protect yourself.
If your purse or wallet is stolen, you have less to keep track of, backups if necessary, as well as the fact that they won't have all of your information readily available. Make sure you take all necessary precautions to prevent theft, but if a theft does occur, you are prepared at the least.
Tip #2 - Use a Safe
Make sure you protect all valuable identification details in your home, particularly when you are not using them. This provides protection for this information in the event of a home break-in.
Tip #3 – Know Who to Call
It is always a good idea to backup your credit card details and contact number of the company, in the event of a theft or loss. Do not keep these in your wallet or purse; however, keep them somewhere safe and readily available.
Tip #4 – Travel Smart
While traveling, be sure that you have backups of your identification and passport as well. Identity theft is just as real abroad as it is at home. Your backup information should include your passport number, original birth certificates, and perhaps a copy of your passport, as well as any prescriptions, serial numbers of expensive equipment, and other important information.
Tip #5 – Keep It To Yourself
If you receive a telephone call or email from any person or company requesting your personal information such as social security number, password, or PIN number, report it immediately and ignore the email or hang up the telephone right away. These are generally frauds, looking to retrieve your information to use it to their benefit and to your downfall.
Tip #6 – Secure is Best
You should be sure that your computer is safeguarded against attacks and malicious programs. Many people have created programs specifically designed to grab information from your computer, without you ever knowing, such as passwords, user names, credit card numbers, and various other information. Use programs such as Norton or McAffee to protect your computer from spyware, Trojans, and other forms of viruses.
Tip # 7 – Change it up Now and Then
Changing your passwords periodically is a great practice to get into. Another good practice for passwords is to be sure they are not easily guessed. Don't make them obvious, mix your numbers and letters, but ensure they are still easy to remember for your own well-being.
Tip #8 – Secure Your Information
We all want to be sure we have our information readily available in case we need it or tend forget things easily. However, keeping any form of identification such as military ID, driver's license, insurance or social security number out in the open is not a good idea. These should be kept in a secure place until needed.
Tip # 9 – Don't Print It
Convenient though it is, having your social security number or driver's license number pre-printed on check is never a good idea. If needed, these can be written on there by you or the clerk, and will likely be a prompt to ask for identification.
Tip #10 – Mum is the word
You don't want to openly declare your personal information to just anyone. Be sure you are dealing with a reputable company before you give this information out. Ask yourself or the person you are dealing with, why they need this information, is it a legitimate reason? Do they absolutely need it? Don't give it out unless you believe it is legitimate reason and they have to have the information to continue with the business.

A Djiboutian Restaurant
Quick link: All Beans, No Tomatoes: a week in the life of a food vendor in Djibouti
Today I am excited to share an article published by The Smart Set. I have spent a long time on this particular piece and am happy to see it published. Its my first attempt at longform journalism.
All the years we've lived here I see women working tea stalls and restaurants on the side of the road and near construction sites. I've always wondered what their lives were like. Did they earn much money? How did they decide where to set up? How did people choose which stall to frequent? The women worked hard, desperately hard, but didn't seem to make much progress in upward mobility.
I decided to find a restaurant that might welcome me for a while and be willing to let me write about them. I drove to the most upperclass neighborhood of the city and pulled up beside a stall, chosen at random. I climbed out of the car and approached the woman who had already clearly been working for hours and it was still early morning.
I told her my intentions and who I was. She said, "Sit. Take out your pencil and notebook."
So I did. Every day for a week, starting at dawn. I watched and listened and asked questions and learned. I loved it. I highly respect these women and am thankful for how they opened their work and lives to me.
An excerpt:
Amina sits idle in the shade of her makeshift restaurant. A pot of boiling kidney beans near her toes and a cardboard case of fifteen brown eggs remind her of the work to be done, the work she can't do yet. She counts the eggs again, tapping her henna-orange fingernail on the shit-and-feather encrusted shells, one by one. She arrived in the upper-class Hara Mus neighborhood of Djibouti City in the gray dawn haze before the construction workers appeared, before the first call to prayer, before the sun slinked through low clouds over the Gulf of Tadjourah.
She claimed a wooden plank stool. Emptied yellow oil jugs, turned on their sides and indented from hours of serving as chairs, are harder to balance on and Amina will work here until early afternoon. The stool sits lower to the ground than the jugs and provides easier access to her knives, pots, vegetables, and fire, and her back needs the sturdy support.
Little known outside the Horn of Africa, Djibouti is strategically positioned at the crux of shipping lanes linking the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean via the Red Sea and is in the throes of rapid development. Amina has taken advantage of the masses of construction workers and used diligent entrepreneurialism to carve out a niche for herself. Thirty-five years of independence from France and a consistent peace, other than minor skirmishes with Somaliland to the east and Eritrea to the north and a brief civil war in Afar territory in the early 1990s, has allowed Djibouti a steady momentum, though opportunities for employment remain limited. The CIA World Factbook quotes, as of September 2014 but based on a static estimate from 2007, a 59% urban unemployment rate and an 83% rural unemployment rate. Amina, with her tea and eggs and beans, is one of these officially unemployed people and the nature of her work ensures that she will be, year after year. Scraping for franc and earning barely enough to cover daily expenses leave little room for paying down her debts and no room for advancement.
The 2014 Misery Index lists Djibouti as one of five countries with 'extremely high estimated Misery Indices' but is unable to give it an updated ranking due to Djibouti's lack of updated statistics. For Amina, the only numbers that matter are how many men will she feed today? How many will pay? How much will her supplies cost? How many people in her family will she be able to feed tonight?
I would be honored if you'd visit The Smart Set to read: All Beans, No Tomatoes

The United States was the global leader in natural gas production growth last year, and, demand for the clean, abundant fuel grew at its fastest pace since 2010, according to a recent International Energy Agency report. Global natural gas is expected to keep rising through 2024, the agency reported.
Growth in the safe production and use of natural gas boosts America's economy and energy security, while also helping to achieve global climate goals.
"Natural gas helped to reduce air pollution and limit the rise in energy-related CO2 emissions by displacing coal and oil in power generation, heating and industrial uses," said Dr Fatih Birol, the IEA's Executive Director.
Key Takeaways from the report include:
- Production Growth Leader: The global leader in oil and natural gas production, the U.S. saw the biggest jump in natural gas production in more than a half-century last year.
- Leading LNG Exporter: In the Liquefied Natural Gas Market, "the United States is expected to surpass Qatar and Australia to become the world's largest LNG exporter by the end of the forecast period."
- Growing Global Natural Gas Demand: Global natural gas demand in 2018 grew at its fastest pace since 2010, as clean, affordable natural gas makes up an increasingly larger share of electricity generation. In addition to power generation, manufacturing and industrial use play a key role in growing demand, as natural gas is used both as a fuel source and important feedstock.
Increasing local and global demand for U.S. natural gas is good news for continued investment and job creation in the region.
Work is well underway, for example, at the new $863 million natural gas-fueled electrical generation plant in North Beaver Township just up the road from the Pennsylvania Petrochemicals Complex under construction in Beaver County. The two projects will employ a combined 7,500 workers from local building trades at peak construction.
"There are a tremendous amount of hours available to work – and the paychecks are big," Tom Durkin, president of Local 66 of the International Union of Operating Engineers, notes while describing the impact on job creation that Marcellus Shale development has had on the region.

Smoke & Mirrors Bangkok: Flying high with Emirates video
A Smoke & Mirrors produced video scooped the 'Best Original Video' at the 2017 APEX Awards (Airline Passenger Experience Association Awards.) The APEX Awards recognize specific achievements across the aviation industry.
The winning on-board video for Emirates Airline was created in conjunction with Lime Productions, MG Films and Spitfire and won high praise from the judges. The brief was to create a modern and engaging video that highlighted all the features of the Emirates aircraft beyond just the movies available, replacing the traditional 'Welcome on Board' video.
This involved a large amount of content including movies, TV, music, games, Wi-Fi and connectivity, live TV and news, duty free shopping, flight information, the Emirate Skywards frequent flyer program and the charitable Emirates Foundation.
Working with Creative Director Brian Shepherd from Spitfire, Smoke & Mirrors came up with the concept of having someone walk through an interactive environment that would highlight the different featured on-board facilities. This immersive experience would set it apart from other on-board airline videos.
The result was exactly that. A modern and engaging video that shows all aspects of the in-flight Emirates experience, with an actor walking through everything a passenger can do on-board.
Using CGI, the team created a world that blends abstract animations with real people to create an immersive video experience for all. The video is easily refreshable, so movies, news headlines, Skywards card designs and duty-free content can be replaced on a regular basis.
The video received incredibly positive feedback from the client and garnered strong reviews from the flying public and online.
Big congratulations to the Smoke and Mirrors team.
You can watch the video here.

Writing this, I came up against one of those thorny questions in language; how may syllables in 'hours'? It is not the only word to be so confusing, nor is there any definitive help in the dictionaries. Opinions vary, so does pronunciation depending upon regional or national accent…and so does the usage of those poets upon whom we might depend to point the way. Shakespeare, for example, seems to use it as both monosyllabic, disyllabic and sometimes as whatever floats the reader's literary boat.
There are other words that offer the same problem… things like 'fire' and 'flower'. In poetic forms where syllable count matters, they can be a nightmare for the writer…and a big red target for critics whose pronunciation or rendering of the poem differs from that of its creator.
In the established 'English form' of haiku… itself a variant and interpretation of the much older and more…

CHICAGO - The incoming president of the American Medical Association says not to expect chaos if the U.S. Supreme Court rejects all or part of the sweeping federal health care law.
Dr. Jeremy Lazarus takes over as AMA president later this month. He says he's not making any predictions on a high court decision, which also is expected this month.
Lazarus wants the court to uphold President Barack Obama's health overhaul. But if it doesn't, Lazarus told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he doesn't envision doctors throwing up their hands or patients not getting medical care.
Still, he says trying to get more people insured and how that influences costs will be big challenges. But Lazarus thinks it can be worked out without great upheaval.

This CBD BioCare Apple Stem Cell Rejuvenation Cream is packed with Apple Stem Cells, formulated to promote both vitality and longevity in our skin's stem cells.
Our original formula contains ingredients that have been proven to provide the following benefits. We took this formula and improved it by adding 6mg of CBD.
- Promotes new, healthy skin cell formation and increases skin cell longevity.
- Prevents age related skin degradation.
- The longer you use this cream, the better results you'll receive.
- Helps improve skin elasticity and firmness
- For optimal results use twice a day.
Scientists have found that an extract derived from the stem cells of a rare apple tree cultivated for its amazing longevity is also assisting to rejuvenate aging skin. We are using this amazing extract in our CBD Apple Stem Cell Regenerating Cream.
This extract is already said to be a hit with some celebrities such as Michelle Obama, Helen Mirren and Jennifer Lopez.
By stimulating aging skin stem cells, this plant extract has been shown to lessen the appearance of wrinkles and help the body create new tissue.
At CBD BioSkinCare we are taking this blend beyond apple stem cells by combining ingredients that work synergistically.
Our Apple Stem Cell Regenerating Cream also includes Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Vitamin E, Vitamin A and Retinol to create a super Peptide with the added benefit of Natural CBD Hemp oil so your skin will now look more youthful and tighter after daily use.
Here are the primary benefits produced from the key ingredients in CBD Apple Stem Cell Regenerating Cream
- Uttwiler Spätlauber: Apple Stem Cells helps the body create new tissue thus rejuvenating aging skin and by increasing longevity of skin cells
- Cannabidiol (CBD): is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
- Niacinamide: is a vitamin known to help with skin pigmentation, blemishes including aged spots and acne scars and aged skin. In addition, it is even being used for rosacea and psoriasis.
- Vitamin E: in conjunction with CBD, works to block free radicals from the body which play a large part in the aging process.
- Vitamin A: stimulates the cells responsible for developing tissue that keeps skin firm and healthy in the deep layers of your skin.
This cream is packed with Apple Stem Cells, promoting both vitality & longevity in our skin's stem cells. Our CBD Apple Stem Cell Regenerating Cream begins with a unique apple. As you know, apples are normally grown to be beautiful and tasty, each variety with its own feature characteristics. In addition, a farmer is concerned about preservation. For this reason, a special variety of apple was cultivated in the 18th century that could be stored for an extended period of time, which was important especially prior to refrigeration. It was essentially biogenetically created with longer-living stem cells, the primary focus was longevity and it's called the Uttwiler Spätlauber apple.
The apple's color is dull and its taste is bitter so it was not desired for eating but it did stand the test of time for longevity. In certain isolated areas of Switzerland, a few of these hardy apple trees still survive today. Scientists obtained an extract from the leaf of one of these trees to test its efficacy in skincare. After several formulas, and clinical trials, scientist felt confident that these cells have amazing anti-aging results for people as well.
Stem cells contain two key components: growth factors, which play a role in cell division, the growth of new cells, and the production of collagen and elastin; and proteins, which regulate that stem-cell division. The apple stem cells works by stimulating a person's own skin stem cells, effectively activating and restoring the skins ability to regenerate and protect itself from within.
Prior to the onset of aging this is something the skin can do naturally but as we age our skin cells are depleted reducing our ability to combat damage. The result is wrinkles and other signs of aging. When these apple stem cells are applied, your skin will firm and slow the development of new lines. Studies show overall a reduction in main wrinkle depth after using apple stem cell creams daily over a period of time. These apple stem cells are rich in epigenetic factors and metabolites, assuring the longevity of skin cells.

The MTD deadline of 1 April 2019 is fast approaching.
From that date, VAT registered businesses will need to have in place a mechanism whereby they can report transactions in a digital format directly to HMRC.
Our experience suggests that many businesses have invested in compliant software already and are well trained and supported in using it. We are however increasingly aware that some businesses are adopting the "head in the sand" ostrich approach in the hope that if they do not comply then what could possibly happen? Well, HMRC have said that they will provide a soft landing for the first twelve months of operation without imposing fines or penalties for late submissions which arise from technical issues. Our understanding is that this will not be in any way a charter for habitually submitting Returns late.

WITH the official backing of President Muhammadu Buhari, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is set to grill suspects linked with the $16billion failed power projects.
Twenty suspects, among them, two ex- governors, three former ministers, a former chairman of a bank and an ex- aviation chief, will be invited by the anti – graft body to say all that they know about the projects. Also to be grilled are 17 companies linked to the projects.
The projects were executed during the administrations of ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, the late President Umaru Yar'Adua, ex-President Goodluck Jonathan and the first term of President Buhari.
But those in charge of the projects said $8.58billion was actually allocated between 2005 and 2018.
The breakdown is as follows: $2.2billion from 2005- 2007; $600million in 2008; about $5.37b from 2010/2011 to date; $150m-$200m made available to NNPC by CBN; and about $80million for Ibom Plant.
The EFCC however insisted on following the cash to know if the NIPP projects were overpriced and whether or not there was either embezzlement or diversion of the cash meant for power projects.
A special team has been raised by the EFCC and all documents from relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) have been obtained.
"The EFCC has received the backing of President Muhammadu Buhari to probe the power projects by following the cash to ascertain alleged overpricing of the projects; payments for job not done and whether or not there was embezzlement of funds or diversion to private accounts, " an EFCC source said yesterday.
"We will take about 20 key people who were involved in the execution of some of these projects. We have also shortlisted about 17 companies for investigation.
"There are two former governors from the South-South, a former chairman of a bank and a former chairman of an airline whose companies have been implicated.
"After hearing from those short-listed, the Special Team of the EFCC will also have the opportunity to visit the sites of some of these projects to ascertain the completion or otherwise of some of these projects," he said.
He said the investigation is not targeted at any individual but "to uncover alleged underhand deals which dotted the projects and to verify if the projects awarded were executed or not."
"Where there are allegations of mismanagement or diversion of funds, we will fish out those behind it. We will start inviting some of the key players in the next few days and weeks," he added.

The anti – graft official said a report of the House of Representatives Ad hoc Committee on Power Probe, headed by the current Minority Leader, Hon. Ndudi Elumelu explained in details cash withdrawal from the Excess Crude Account (ECA).
"Go and read the report, you will see that beyond the surface dressing or claims by some officials in charge of these projects, there were some alleged shady aspects.
"We will be as open-minded as possible and allow all those concerned to clear the air as much as possible, " he said
The Elumelu report said in part: "From the oral and documentary evidence, it was clearly established that the total expenditure in the power sector during the period 1999-2007 was US$13, 278,937,409.94billion.
"Indeed, had the supplementary budget of the power sector in 2007 been implemented, the expenditure could then have been over $16billion reported by the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
"There are also unfunded commitments to the tune of US$7.265billion for NIPP projects as at May 29, 2007.
"There is another US $1billion for PHCN capital projects awarded between 2000 and 2007, which have been captured in the 2008 Appropriation Act.
"Additionally, the total commitment of the NNPC and its Joint Venture partners(of which the Federal Government, through the NNPC has an average of 51% interest) towards IPP power plants, gas sources development, gas transmission and metering of JV IPPs, PHCN power plants and NIPP power plants, according to the submission of the acting GMD of the NNPC is US$7billion, out of which about US$1.62billion has been expensed, leaving outstanding commitments of over US$5.5billion out of which the Federal Government will provide about US$3billion.
"Recognition of these unfunded commitments would bring the total (funded and unfunded) FGN expenditure commitments in the power sector to over US$24.5billion between 1999 and 2007.
"From the assessment done during the Committee's tour of the project sites, it is safe to conclude that no meaningful progress was made in the execution of power contracts.
"It is curious and quite strange that officials rush to pay contractors in full even before engineering design for the projects have been completed and approved.
"NIPP contracts were not only overpriced in comparison with PHCN contracts, they are also wide off the mark when viewed against comparable power stations in several parts of the world.
"A comparable review of the cost of power installations in varied regions of the world such as South Korea, Saudi Arabia, U.S.A, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Mexico and Chile showed that $10billion could have built plants to produce between 5,000 to 6,000 MW of electricity. But this amount failed to do so in Nigeria.
"Unfortunately, all NIPP payments were made without following Due Process. In its place, a process called 'Waiver of Due Process Certification for Payment' was adopted in flagrant disregard of Due Process Policy, thus paving the way for dubious and highly risky payments to contractors and consultants by the Federal Government of Nigeria.
"The committee found hard and widespread evidence of systematic over scoping of projects in order to inflate costs both in PHCN and NIPP.
"At least 15 transmission lines and substation projects have been identified. For example, the New Haven-Ikot-Ekpene 2x330kv Double Circuit Line was over-scoped by 49% whilst the Afam-Ikot Ekpene 330kv line was over-scoped by more than 100%.
"The estimated aggregate cost inflation identified so far for transmission projects is over N20billion and this is recoverable from contractors.
"A clear example of project cost inflation is the proposed supply of 9No GE frame 9 gas turbines and auxiliaries at the cost of N185billion($1.55billion) awarded to Rockson International.
"In comparison, it is noteworthy that GE supplied 18No turbines of similar specification previously at about $404million, including cost of Technical Assistance (TA) services and Long-Term Service agreements (LTSA). The implicit cost inflation on the nine additional turbines and associated services exceeds $1.145billion.
"Another example is the costing of the so-called change-order provisions for Alaoji Power Plant (Phase I) at a highly-questionable amount of US$123million.
"NIPP Distribution EPC contracts were awarded at costs averaging about 10 times the norm when compared to PHCN contracts costs for similar projects in the past five years. This 1,000% cost inflation of the NIPP Distribution EPC work scopes translates to an aggregate overpricing of over N50billion."
Somebody who was involved in the project but does not want his name in print , said: "We only hope EFCC will be fair to appreciate the fact that those who implemented these projects were patriotic.
"The first premise the EFCC must focus on is the fact that no $1billion was released by the Federal Government.
"Between 2005 and 2018, the projects gulped about $8.58billion including $2.2billion from 2005- 2007; $600million in 2008; about $5.37b released from 2010/2011 to date; $150m-$200m made available to NNPC by CBN; and about $80million for Ibom Plant.
"In 2007, a former Accountant-General of the Federation said $2.2billion was released for the NIPP projects.
"The $8.58billion was allocated as follows:
*About $4.4billion—Power Plants (5,000MW) at less than $1m per Megawatt
*About $2billion for Transmission Lines
*About $1.5billion for 350 distribution projects
*$600million -$700million for gas pipelines
*$80million loan from the Excess Crude Account (ECA) for Ibom Power Plant which resulted in an interest-free debenture
"The EFCC's probe is a welcome development because it will afford Nigerians to know the truth about the power projects. Some of the projects being commissioned by the Buhari administration are parts of the projects.
"As a journalist, you can do a Google Search, you will realize that some of these projects have been completed and commissioned because government is a continuum, " he said.
Buhari vows to probe power project contracts
Buhari while campaigning in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State in February for re-election, vowed to probe the $16bn allegedly spent on failed power projects.
Government, he vowed, would recover the money and expose those behind the scam.
He mentioned no name.
He said: "The previous government mentioned on their own that they spent $16bn on power but you are better witnesses than myself.
"Where is the power? Where is the money? We will follow them, eventually God willing, we will catch them and get our money back."
Obasanjo to Buhari: 'You're playing politics with statistics'
Responding to the Buhari statement, Obasanjo accused the President of playing politics with statistics.
His words: "A presidential panel headed by the then VP Goodluck Jonathan set up by the Umaru Yar'Adua government put a lie to this after the same administration had sacked one F. Somolu the then Secretary of NIPP who first drew attention to the lie that $16b had been spent on power project.
"The Panel made up of so many actors, including CBN officials then found out that only $3.7 billion was disbursed out of the $10 billion budgeted and the balance was kept in an escrow account at the CBN.
"The CBN confirmed this to the panel and it was published…It was then found out that Tanimu Yakubu then Economic Adviser to President Yar'Adua began the propaganda against former President Obasanjo and Somolu then with Yar'Adua wrote a secret memo inside the state house to correct the wrong notion about $10 billion."
Obasanjo in a separate statement by his spokesman, Kehinde Akinyemi said: "We believe that the President was re-echoing the unsubstantiated allegation against Chief Obasanjo by his own predecessor but one, while it is doubtful that a President with proper understanding of the issue would utter such, it should be pointed out that records from the National Assembly had exculpated President Obasanjo of any wrong-doing concerning the power sector and has proved the allegations as false.
"For the records, Chief Obasanjo has addressed the issues of the power sector and the allegations against him on many occasions and platforms, including in his widely publicised book, 'My Watch' in which he exhaustively stated the facts and reproduced various reports by both the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which conducted a clinical investigation into the allegations against Chief Obasanjo, and the Ad-Hoc Committee on the Review of the Recommendations in the Report of the Committee on Power on the Investigation into how the Huge Sums Of Money was Spent on Power Generation, Transmission And Distribution between June 1999 and May 2007 without Commensurate Result.
"We recommend that the President and his co-travellers should read Chapters 41, 42, 43 and 47 of My Watch for Chief Obasanjo's insights and perspectives on the power sector and indeed what transpired when the allegation of $16 billion on power projects was previously made. If he cannot read the three-volume book, he should detail his aides to do so and summarise the chapters in a language that he will easily understand.
"In the same statement credited to the President, it was alleged that there was some bragging by Chief Obasanjo over $16 billion spent on power. To inform the uninformed, the so-called $16 billion power expenditure was an allegation against Chief Obasanjo's administration and not his claim. The President also queried where the power generated is. The answer is simple: The power is in the seven National Integrated Power Projects and eighteen gas turbines that Chief Obasanjo's successor who originally made the allegation of $16 billion did not clear from the ports for over a year and the civil works done on the sites.

I've already made it quite clear in this blog that I'm not a huge fan of cats (August 7, 2011: "No Cats, Please!"), largely due to the fact that I only narrowly survived a premeditated sneak attack by Harvey, our lunatic black cat, when I was a teenager. As a youngster, I was as enamored of furry little kittens as any young girl is apt to be; but I lost my youthful naivete about those fickle felines as the years went by and it became obvious to me that cats are just sneaky opportunists. They don't really love you--not the way dogs do. So I am a dyed-in-the-wool dog lover; but there is absolutely no love lost between me and cats.
In January, I accompanied my pilot husband on a trip to Amsterdam, and while we were there we went out to dinner at a cozy, "mom and pop"-style Italian restaurant. I was amazed to see that there was a cat hanging out in the dining room, and moreover, that the proprietor had no intention of shooing it off the premises. This was certainly something I'd never seen before when eating out in the U.S.! We were seated at a table for two near the window, and this mild-mannered cat sat on the windowsill not more than a foot away from us, staring at us throughout the entire meal. Now my husband is no more fond of cats than I am (and is in fact slightly allergic to them), so you would think that this situation would be a bit stressful for us. But that cat kind of grew on me as we ate, and by the time we were getting ready to leave, I decided to pet him. That's when his true cat nature came out, along with his claws, and he hissed at me and made me remember why I'm a dog person. I repeat, I am not a fan of cats. (If you read "The San Remo's Cat" post on February 2, 2012, then you're wondering why I'm retelling that story; but hang on: I need to remind you about the cat we met in Amsterdam to set up a story about our new Greek cat friends.)
Recently, I accompanied my husband on another working trip, this time to Athens. After our first day of sightseeing, we climbed to the top of a hill called Lycabettus, which provides a stunning panoramic view of the city, to watch the sunset. We ordered two bottles of Mythos, and as we sat at an outdoor table and sipped our beers and shared a bowl of mixed nuts, who do you think came to keep us company...but another cat! He was separated from us by a Plexiglas partition, but he sat there and watched us, just the way the cat at San Remo's had done several months before. What is it about us that attracts cats? we wondered. (European cats, anyway.)Well, the second night we were in Athens, we went out to dinner and were dining al fresco at a romantic little table for two...and guess who joined us? That's right, another cat! He acted just like the other European cats we'd met before him: he sat there patiently, watching us throughout our meal. There were other diners nearby, but do you suppose this cat was interested in any of them? Nope. He just wanted to hang out with my husband and me and stare at us, hoping for a handout no doubt. (Okay, I'll come clean...his good behavior did earn him a piece of sausage.)
For some reason, the word is out in Europe that my husband and I like to have the company of kitty-cats when we go out to eat. I want to say that these recent experiences have made me even less fond of cats than I was already...but I must sheepishly admit that those little critters are beginning to grow on me. At this point, if I ever go on another trip abroad with my husband and we aren't joined at the table by a cat, I'm going to feel like something's missing. Oh, no...am I becoming a cat lover? (I'm so ashamed to admit that. Almost as ashamed as I was to admit, on the day after the Patriots' Super Bowl defeat to the Giants, that I like Eli Manning...) Those darn cats! Just when you think you've gotten them out of your system forever, they draw you back in!
(By the way, I'm really dating myself with the title of this post--with a reference to Walt Disney's 1965 film "That Darn Cat!", starring Haley Mills and Dean Jones.)

I would like to create a custom report where i can see how much time my contacts spend in each stage of their Contact Lifecycle. I am looking for something much like the "time in deal stage" available for deals.
I know that hubspot has the "became a lead date", "became an opportunity", "became a customer date" properties, but I can't seem to get any good report using these.

This year Business Growth Conference delegates were left in no doubt about how to reimagine their businesses, how to develop a growth mindset as well as the inside track on what advertisers are looking for from their agencies; brand, comms and experience.
They heard it from the people in the know including Publicis Sapient's Nigel Vaz, Oxford Leadership Founder Brian Bacon and Mirren Business Development's Brent Hodgins.
The 350 delegates were also the first to learn about the six principles for successful pricing strategies and went away with a free copy of the IPA's new learning on pricing strategies: The Price of Success. So if you missed it, catch up with the content and the videos and make sure you book your place for 2020.
