Monaco International Yacht Show
This yachting show became international immediately. This is not surprising as independent of how high the level of life is in the kingdom, there are not too much boat owner there. For the first time Monaco International Yacht Show took place 25 years ago and since then the show attracts attention of million of the people yearly. Unfortunately, only few can participate in the show and even fewer have possibility to show their «treasure» to the public.
In one of the smallest countries in the world this one of the largest shows in the world dedicated to the mega yachts takes place yearly. This is the main feature that makes Monaco International Yacht Show different from any other show – no single small yacht or boat is present here. No place neither figurative no literally. Traditionally show takes place in the Hercules marina (port) that is does not have large square footage. This marina can fit only 100 yachts generally. In case one or two of them are huge than even less. On the other hand every boat is unique and strikes your imagination with its size, design and features.
Monaco International Yacht Show has several faces, and which one of them you would see when you come depends only on you.
The first «face» will make professionals and enthusiasts of yachting extremely happy. You can find here designers, engineers, official representatives of the biggest shipyards from all over the world, yacht brokers, suppliers of equipment, representatives of the companies that perform maintenance and service of the boats. Novelties will be presented by the Dutch, the British, the French and of course the Italian manufacturers. Almost every owner of a young company is dreaming to exhibit his production here. People come here to share their experience, tell about their practices and present unique concepts in the world of yachting.
To visit the show and to exhibit your boat at Monaco International Yacht Show is not just an honor; this is the best way to get a reputation of luxury yachts manufacturer as well as to attract attention of the most powerful people in the world. Creating and supporting your image is a pleasant bonus.
For those who love yachting Monaco International Yacht Show is the best way to see the most expensive yachts from all over the world all in one place. There is no more than 100 yachts but each of them deserves your special attention. None of them would look alike, each can strike imagination and inspire an experienced yachtsman as well as a beginner.
The second «face» of Monaco International Yacht Show is secular society. There is no other show like this in the world of yachting that will attract so much high-society as this exhibition in Monaco in September. Famous entrepreneurs, businessmen, politicians, movie and music stars come here. You can easily spot a royal family member.
Freddy Mercury's famous «Show must go on!» can become a hymn of show in Monaco as it does not stop even for a minute. For four days exhibitors tell about their yachts, equipment, services, designers and engineers exchange their experience and set master classes, and the bohemian visitors socialize with each other. Secular receptions and parties take place at night, but even in the darkness guests do not want to leave the exhibition.
During its 25 years of operation this show changed a lot, but the main thing stayed unchanged – exhibitors and exhibits are screened very carefully. Every year here you can see the yachts like no other. Monaco International Yacht Show is the only show in the world where only mega yachts are presented. You will not see a single ship that is less than 25 meters long. Rumors has it that in 2015 the length of the yachts will reach 90 meters.
More and more people are coming to Monaco. There are spectators and yachting professionals among them. A total of 33 thousand people attended the show in the year 2014. All these people easily fitted in 650 square meters exhibition area.

"In 2008, my third novel, entitled The Unseen, will hit shelves. I finished the first draft of the book in November 2007, and will have a second draft at the publisher in early January.
The Unseen is the story of a young man named Lucas, who has a strange proclivity: he hides in the private spaces of public buildings (elevator shafts, ceilings, utility chases, and so on), spying on the people who work inside. Soon, he stumbles into an underground society of people who do the same thing in private homes--a group calling itself the Creep Club--and he finds himself trapped in the midst of double crosses and covert operations."The Unseen is to be released by Thomas Nelson in July 2008.

If you've gone green then why not include your pet with these fabulous eco-friendly and sustainable dog gifts that your best friend will love! There are more products on the market than ever that are made from recycled and natural materials, so your pet will love your green lifestyle as much as you do.
Charity shops can also be great places to pick up dog gifts as some things aren't even used! Even if they are, if they're in good condition you can wash them or put them in the dishwasher to make them good as new!
1. Beco Ball
Ditch the manky old tennis ball (unless your dog can't bear to part with it), for this natural rubber Beco ball. Available in different sizes depending how big your dog is, they're made from natural rubber so completely safe for them to chew on.
I'm always really safety conscious with all my pets especially when walking dogs at night so I'm delighted that Cycle Dog do a recycled AND reflective collar. It's very useful if you dog is off the lead so he/she can still be seen in car headlights.
If you want to be even safer, then try this recycled and reflective dog lead made from post-consumer plastics, also from Cycle Dog. Randomly, it has an attached bottle opener.
If you don't already have a dog bowl, then try this one, made from bamboo fibres. Bamboo is a great material for sustainable products as it grows so quickly that many things will be made from bamboo in the future!
5. Eco dog bed
There aren't many eco dog pets on the market and some dogs use pillows or sleep in human beds so they don't need one! If you do want your dog to have its own bed then this one is made from sustainable materials. It's also quite heavy duty so will survive more rough-and-tumble than most pet beds can handle!
Your dog will love Olive, especially as she's made from natural jute and suede. This toy is partially biodegradable and makes a crunch when chewed for added entertainment! You can even put treats inside it.
There's nothing most dogs love more than a friendly tug-of-war. At least this way, you know that the toy is made from natural materials and he/she won't get plastic shards in their mouth as this is natural rubber.
Enough said. Some 'biodegradable' plastic just breaks down into smaller pieces of plastic, so make your eco poop bags are the real deal! These ones are made from cornstarch so they're made from totally natural material.
We love our pets, and our planet so it's great that our plastic waste can be made into something that our animals will love. In the future, plastic usage will be much less, but for now, we're stuck with all this trash, so we're bridging the gap between two worlds of consumerism. In the meantime, these recycled products are built to last, so they should withstand being used by dogs for much longer, so this is progress.
Let me know your favourite sustainable pet brands as I'm sure this is a market on the rise!

in this video I work on 2x CC41 utility furniture dining chairs from the 1940s for a makeover, repair and restoration. I convert their webbed upholstery to solid chair seat pads. I also re-upholster them and give the wooden frames a clean up and a re-finish.
In this video I'm going to be working on a pair of dining chairs. I bought these at a local house clearance and I'll talk some more about that at the end of the video.
The chairs had a few problems, the webbing on the bottom had failed, and the foam and fabric was in a pretty bad state too. On the plus side though all the joints on the chair were really solid.
When I popped the seat pad out I saw this marking on the inside, and at the time I didn't know what this was, but now I do and I'll talk some more about that at the end of the video too as I think it's quite interesting.
I removed the top layer of fabric which had just been glued on to the frame.
And underneath that was a layer of vinyl, that had just been glued on too. I don't if that was the original covering or not.
I took that off too to find some nasty looking wadding and foam, and underneath that a dust cover.
That was held in place with small tacks, so I removed those using my pincers
And the webbing was held in place with those too.
I did a bit of clean up with my scraper and a sanding block because the wood was very rough and splintery with sharp edges. I think the wood here is beech.
I wanted to convert this seat pad from being a webbed one with the strapping I'd removed earlier to one with a solid bottom - and that was mainly because I didn't have the right tool to be able to stretch out the webbing tight enough, and I think that tool I'm referring to is called a webbing stretcher.
So I thought about routing out a rebate on the inside of the top of the frame so that I could insert a solid base inside the existing frame. The problem with that was that it was curved at the front, and if I used a rebate bit to route out around the edge, the base of the router would follow that curve and cut a rebate that was too low down to support the solid seat pad at the front.
The solution I came up with was to first make a paper template of the shape of the curve, and I could then take a rubbing using the side of my pencil lead.
Then I could mark up where the top of the sides of the frame were on both sides.
And then I joined those two marks with a straight line.
I hot glued two pieces of 12mm MDF together, and then using a glue stick I stuck the piece of paper to the MDF block with the straight line flush with the straight edge of the MDF.
And then i cut out the shape at the bandsaw
This gave me a curved shim which I could hot glue to the curve at the front, so that I could then use a rebate bit in my router to cut a rebate the same depth all of the way around the inside of the frame.
I did this in multiple passes lowering the bit each time until the rebate was as deep as I could get it. Here you can see I'm cutting through the sacrificial piece of MDF rather than the frame itself.
By the way, the reason you can see what I'm filming here is because I'm using these LED lights that HiKOKI sent to me, they have a torch on one side, and an LED panel on the other and they run off the usual HiKOKI batteries and they're going to be so useful to have around for filming in the dark among other things! So a big thank you to HiKOKI!
Now that the MDF had done it's job I could remove that
I could then square up the round corners with a chisel.
Next I needed a template to cut a solid bottom, so once again I taped some paper together and then took a rubbing around the inside edge. The rebate along the front curve through the rubbing off slightly so here I'm marking up a straight edge to follow.
I glued that to some MDF too and cut that at the bandsaw, and I tried to cut right on the line or slightly on the inside so that it would drop right in to the frame.
It didn't quite fit on first attempt so I made some marks where it was too big and then used my block plane and then it fitted great.
I was a bit worried about how high the seat pad was sticking up, particularly at the front, but I couldn't cut the rebate any deeper because I didn't have a deeper bit, so I decided to mark up the curve at the front, and then using a spokeshave I carved a curve following those marks to ease the transition from the frame to the solid panel a bit.
I also rounded over the back and side edges with the spokeshave too.
And that looked better and by the time I got some foam on top I figured it should be OK.
Then I was ready to upholster the pads so I cleaned up my bench
I got some 25mm foam from eBay, I think I paid £2.
And I bought some wadding from my local fabric shop, this I think was £4.50 per metre so I got 1m which was enough to do 4 dining chairs even though I only had 2. Wadding is available in different thicknesses and is sold by the ounce, and the lady in the fabric shop was super helpful and suggested 6oz so that's what I got.
I already had some fabric I could use, this was from a pair of curtains I bought in a charity shop and it was quite hardwearing and not stretchy so I thought it'd work well.
I positioned the seat pad upside down on the foam and then using a freshly sharpened knife I could score around the shape to cut the foam.
Then I put the seat pad and the foam on to the wadding and I stapled one side. I'm using my Clarke air stapler here, it was pretty cheap but it works well.
Then I cut the wadding and pulled it taut, but not too tight, and stapled the opposite side.
And I did the same again at the front and the back.
And that just left the corners which are the tricky part, there's definitely a knack to it but each time I upholster something I seem to get a little better at it. Although I'm sure an expert will say that I'm using way too many staples here.
That looked pretty good!
Next I placed it on to the fabric and cut away the excess.
And I did the same as I did with the wadding, which was stapling one side, then pulling taut and doing the opposite side, and then same on the remaining two sides and then working on the corners.
And I have to say I was super happy with how they turned out, definitely the best upholstering I've ever managed to do anyway although I'm far from being an expert.
Next I wanted to clean up the chair frames, as it looked like someone had applied some more stain at some point in their life but applied way too much so there were some nasty looking drips.
I used my scraper to remove the old finish and stain to get down to bear wood.
I didn't do the whole of both chair frames, I just did the bits that looked bad, as I was hoping I could blend in the old finish with the new.
Then I applied some walnut dye to match the old colour, and I applied two coats as it didn't look quite dark enough at first.
I then left the chairs out in the sun for the dye to dry.
Then I used some spray varnish just to touch up both the areas that I had re-finished and the rest of the frames too just to help it ll blend in and that came out great, it brought out the wood grain really nicely and gave the frames a nice satin sheen too. I only applied one coat, as I don't think chair frames need much protection, and I found that the finish didn't need de-nibbing either because it felt super smooth, so that was all there was to it. After waiting 20 minutes or so for the varnish to cure I added the seat pads.
I mentioned earlier in the video that I saw CC41 stamped on the inside of the chair frame, and I had no idea what that was and it wasn't until I was editing the video for this project that I did some research on it... A CC41 stamp represents a government sanctioned utility scheme established during the Second World War, and furniture with the CC41 stamp meant it met the government's austerity requirements. CC stands for Controlled Commodity and 41 represents the year the scheme started, and the stamp was used for about 10 years, so that means these chairs were made some time between 1941 and 1951 - so the chairs are about 70 years old! Really interesting, I didn't expect the chairs to be that old...
I mentioned at the start of the video that I picked up these chairs at a house clearance, and that was the same house clearance where I bought the mid century coffee table that I worked on from a previous video. And to be honest I didn't really want to buy these chairs because a) I didn't need them and b) t was going to be tricky to sell these chairs on because most people want a set of 4 or 6 dining chairs rather than 2, and also dark wood furniture isn't popular with a lot of people so it's not valuable. So why did I buy them? Well, I happen to think they're really good looking chairs, they're also really well made and the joints were good so I knew it would be a quick and easy project to turn around, but I also took pity on them a bit because the owner said he'd be taking them to the dump the following week if they didn't sell, so I felt like I just had to save them. I paid £5 for both chairs, and spent about £10 on materials, and it took me about 6 hours of my time fixing them up. Once I add my day rate to the cost of the chairs and the materials, that figure far outweighs what most people would be prepared to pay for them which is a shame, but I am going to try and find a buyer and a new home for them anyway. I can't really keep doing projects at a loss now that I'm running this as a business and that's why I'd like to talk briefly about Patreon. If you enjoy these videos and want to see more projects like this future you can support my work via Patreon and receive other benefits like early access to my videos, exclusive content and your name as a credit at the end of my videos too.
I hope you enjoyed this video, please subscribe to my channel for more weekly woodworking videos and thank you for watching.

Yes, the incompetence of the FBI's senior bureaucracy in the pre- and post-9/11 eras is now the stuff of legend, but I still was taken aback by the testimony of Harry Samit, the agent who arrested and interrogated Zacarias Moussaoui on August 18, 2001, three weeks before the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
Samit testified yesterday at Moussaoui's sentencing trial that he tried repeatedly to get his superiors in Washington to help confirm his certainty that Moussaoui was involved in an imminent airline hijacking plot. But Samit said he was repeatedly thwarted by obstructionist senior bureau officials whom, he later told Justice Department investigators, were "criminally negligent" and much more interested in protecting their careers.
Samit is a prosecution witness and as such was a "hostile" witness on cross examination by Edward B. McMahon Jr., Moussaoui's chief court-appointed lawyer.
Nevertheless, he provided new evidence that further confirmed that the FBI's failure to take seriously the plot was because of senior officials, and his testimony paralleled the complaints of whistle-blowing Coleen Rowley, an agent in the FBI's Minneapolis office, who bitterly criticized the same senior officials for their handling of the Moussaoui case.
The Washington Post has more here.
Meanwhile, CNN reports that the FBI is so broke that some of its agents don't have secure internal email accounts and must use their own non-secure accounts to communicate. That may have something to do with the FBI's continuing and outrageously expensive computer follies.
Just last week a nonpartisan congressional audit found that the FBI and its contractors spent more than $17 million on first-class airfare, inflated labor rates, equipment that went missing and other questionable payments during a botched attempt to upgrade the bureau's outdated case file management computer system, which is a most necessary tool in the War on Terror.
The revamped system, called Trilogy, costs more than $535 million, but has failed to produce usable results. FBI announced this week that it would spend an additional $425 million in an attempt to finish the job. The Houston Chronicle has more here.
The London subway bomb attacks notwithstanding, the Brits have been somewhat more adept -- or just plain lucky -- at stopping terrorist plots.
Seven Britons of Middle Eastern extraction have gone on trial at Old Bailey on charges they they planned to start a major bombing campaign until their stash of bomb-making materials was found in a London storage depot in 2004.
The Guardian has the story.

Sloan Peterson – 105: The debut single from Austraian Joannah Jackson as Sloan Peterson is a catchy indie-pop tune that hooks you from the beginning with its bouncy synth backing track. Very promising for a first single. 80%
Royal Blood – Lights Out: The first single from the rock duo's upcoming second album, Lights Out is definitely a Royal Blood song, but isn't just a repeat of what we heard on their debut, with this track sounding a lot fuller and fleshed out. 85%
Olympia – Smoke Signals: Smoke Signals is the latest single taken from Olympia's 2016 album 'Self Talk'. A shimmering piece of indie pop. 78%
Frank Ocean, Jay Z, Tyler The Creator – Biking: A fairly forgettable, but pleasant track, with a boring verse from Jay-Z that seems to be just stuck on the track as an afterthought. Good verse from Tyler though. 60%
DNCE ft. Nicki Minaj – Kissing Strangers: Another track by DNCE that is trying to sound like Cake by The Ocean and failing. 45%
Lethal Bizzle and Skepta – I Win: Taken from Lethal Bizzle's upcoming 'You'll Never Make A Million From Grime' EP, 'I Win' is a fun, upbeat grime cut with a catchy chorus from Skepta. 75%
Linkin Park ft. Pusha T and Stormzy – Good Goodbye: Sounds like the Backstreet Boys with a mediocre feature from Pusha T and a fairly standard short verse from Stormzy on the end. 30%
Mac Demarco – On The Level: A chill track from Mac. 67%
TLC and Snoop Dogg – Way Back: A fun, retro track from TLC that is obviously a throwback to tbeir earlier songs, with a feature from Snoop Dogg that just adds to the 90's ness of the song. 70%
Sarah Close – Caught Up: Caught Up is the debut EP of original material from YouTube singer/songwriter Sarah Close known for her stripped back piano covers, and is made up of a handful of surprisingly good, well produced pop tunes, with the title track alongside 'Call Me Out' being highlights. 77%
Will Joseph Cook – Sweet Dreamer: The debut album from WJC is a bright collection of summery indie-pop tracks, with the title track standing out to me as a potential big hit. 81%
Tinie Tempah – Youth: This is the fourth full album from London disturbing Tinie, and is perhaps his strongest yet. Big single 'Girls Like' with Zara Larsson is the standout track, but there are a wide variety of features (from Jake Bugg to Tinashé) to keep things interesting. 76%
Seraphina – Altar EP: The debut EP from Seraphina is overall very promising, with Lion & Lamb being a low-key but still engaging intro track, and the following song, Morphine, being quite enjoyable and captivating. 70%
John Mayer – The Search For Everything: A dull, flat collection of songs that have cringeworthy lyrics and don't really feel like a cohesive album in anyway other than the fact that they are all really boring. 12%

No one
can stop God's work!
Matthew 16:18 And I (Jesus Christ) say also unto thee,
That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church;
and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Revelation of John 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new
earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed
away; and there was no more sea.
No matter how things may seem or whatever may happen among the
nations of this earth, whosoever thinks that it is going to
continue to be that way, they are mistaken. For the day and
time is coming when God will have finished His work on this
earth. There will be a new heaven and a new earth and the old
will be erased from all memory. This is what Jesus reveals to
John and all those who walk with Him. John sees that the kingdoms
and the system of this present world are no longer in existence,
everything has become new. The prophets also spoke about this
and Jesus had explained it to His apostles, who then passed
it on to His church. Everything will soon be over with. Meanwhile,
however, God is seeking for people from all nations to make
them His own people. As a result of their spiritual blindness,
unbelievers and those who mock are unaware of this and will
remain so up until the day when God hands them over to face
eternal punishment.
A new heaven and a new earth where righteousness reigns and
where there is no suffering or death – is this not the
very thing which many people desire, perhaps including even
you too? Jesus speaks about this. He says, whoever gives their
life to Him, that individual will receive eternal life from
What a bargain and great offer, however, this will not last
much longer; for when He comes and finds a person still living
in his or her sins, there will be a terrible end for that individual.
God always shows us the truth. He reveals things to John which
are going to take place in the near future. The Creator Himself
and no one else will complete His work on His creation; for
nobody can stop God's work. The kingdoms of this earth
and the system of this world have nothing to do with the kingdom
of God, in which there is no righteousness prevalent. Ruling
over every kingdom there is a king; the kingdoms of this world
have their kings, however, they will all pass away one day.
Their kingdom is not from the other world, rather it is from
the temporary world, that is, from the first earth. They have
their joy and pleasure now, just like the rich ruler in Luke
16, 19-31.
My kingdom is not from this world, says the immortal and eternal
King, Jesus Christ, the Lord of creation. The task which Jesus
has assigned to His church is to proclaim the whole gospel to
all the nations of this world. One lord, one faith, one baptism
- that the people will believe in Him and will be obedient to
the gospel, receive forgiveness for their sins, and in addition,
receive the power of the Holy Spirit, which is more powerful
that the spirit of sin and evil.
There is only one message, only one gospel of Jesus which is
able to deliver the people. If you are following after a "gospel
which appears to be a gospel", then you do not have any
freedom, all you have is religion! You might be in a church,
perhaps you are religious or a member of a religion, however,
it is all for nothing; and you will never see the new heaven
and the new earth, let alone live in it, if there is no sincere
turning away from sin on your part to the whole gospel of Jesus.
Read in the second chapter of the book of Acts and take note
of the verses 37-39.Then take a look in the same book and see
how the churches were established and how the people became
Christians. You can see that faith is there at the beginning,
then turning away from sin, the baptism in water for the forgiveness
of sins in the name of Jesus and the baptism of the Holy Spirit,
with the visible sign of speaking in tongues. That is the way
it is written. God still keeps His Word. A person has to believe
in Him and be obedient to Him, then the promised miracle will
take place (John 3,1-6). Worldwide on a daily basis, there are
thousands of people who are converted to this gospel of Jesus
and are turning away from man-made tradition. Nobody can hinder
God's work and whatever He does! These people do not want
any part of the kingdoms of this world which will pass away.
The work of God has never been promoted by the world, on the
contrary, it has been rejected. The reason being that the world
still lies in spiritual darkness, with those who belong to it.
Jesus Christ will have a people who will survive everything
which they go through. Nobody can stop Him. He has all power
and might in heaven and on earth. Do not be deceived, Jesus
speaks and says:
Isaiah 44:7 "And who, as I, shall call, and shall
declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the
ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come,
let them shew unto them!" rw

This man said nothing about everything today:
The first White House press briefing in roughly two weeks following President Donald Trump's closely watched first foreign trip and continued scrutiny over contact between some members of his administration and Russian officials brought more questions than answers.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer's more than ten-minute recap of Trump's trip to Saudi Arabia, Israel, the Vatican and the G-7 summit in Italy included such phrases as "historic," "unprecedented," and "extraordinary".
Spicer was less verbose when asked about reports from over the weekend that the president's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner sought to set up a back channel with Russia prior to Trump's inauguration. Trump lawyer Michael Cohen confirmed to NBC that he is now also part of Congress' Russia probe.
The mere fact that the media even shows up at these briefings enables the Trump Regime to continue lying to the American people. They should run a disclaimer before every statement of this White House--no one is telling the truth, no one is capable of giving a straight answer, and we are now a banana republic. The first rule of the press is not to tell us what the spokesman for the president said. The first rule of the press is to tell us when the government is no longer telling the truth about anything.
Welcome to the Banana Republic of the United States of America. Our el presidente is a liar, his courtiers are protecting him, and this is a kingdom founded on bullshit. Spicey is the court jester, and all he needs is a better hat.

Acupuncture Treatment for Injuries
Chiropractic Care
Many people struggle with how to recuperate from injuries, and acupuncture treatment can help you heal on many levels. Injuries may be traumatic or repetitive, with the result being damaged tissues and pain. Medical therapy for trauma, while initially beneficial, may not have as much to offer after the initial acute stage of injury. Acupuncture, soft tissue massage, chiropractic, and other physical treatments can help to reduce reinjury and internalization of the damage to a deeper state. A licensed acupuncturist can help reduce neck and back pain and different types of pain caused by injuries. They use diagnostic and therapeutic techniques that see the individual body and mind holistically.
Injury happens in many ways, and the body response is unique, as well. Whether it's a broken bone from a motor vehicle accident or a torn ligament from a sporting event, there is an array of mental and physical changes that occur immediately and over time. Right after the event, the injured person suffers pain, reduced capacity, and possibly trouble sleeping, all of which are stressful and impair healing.
Pain medications, such as opiates can have an immediate benefit to allow rest for healing. But their addictive nature causes new problems that can impede healing overall. Drugs which alter consciousness can make an injured person more likely to reinjure themselves or others. Also, the body in its injured state may have trouble with the toxicity of certain medications and have difficulty eliminating them. Not everyone wants to use medications following injury for these reasons. On an energetic level, drugs and medicines are seen to cover up problems rather than getting to the source. While it may feel good to remove pain or muscle spasm immediately following an injury, that may not be the most desirable course of action in the long run.
Acupuncture treatment is helpful because it attends to the immediate problem and helps to remove the deepening issues that occur with time. Once the bone is set or the rotator cuff repaired surgically, patients can benefit from acupuncture and massage treatment to dedicated channels to help the body-mind relax and reorient. Acupuncture works on channel theory wherein the body is viewed as coursed by energetic pathways called channels or meridians. These channels correspond to body parts, organs, and mental states. Acupuncture treatment focuses on balancing these channels using acupuncture point stimulation via small, fine needles inserted along the channels. Different treatments can be for each person relating to the dedicated channel, depth of injury, type of injury, and other factors. Essential oil massage is used along connected channels to improve healing response and provide a means for patients to continue treatment at home with the essential essence if they wish.
If you have suffered an injury, consider acupuncture care. An acupuncturist in Chapel Hill, NC can help you, call today for a consultation.
Thanks to Acupractic Natural Healing Center at Eastowne for their insight into chiropractic care and treatment for injuries.

DENVER, Colorado — For the first time in history, the Episcopal Church in Colorado will be led by an African American woman.
On Saturday, the church hosted the ordination and consecration of Kym Lucas as its 11th bishop. She is both the church's first woman bishop and first black bishop.
Before being elected to the position last October, Lucas served as rector of St. Margaret's Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C.
9NEWS sat down with Lucas to learn more about her history with the Episcopal Church, the challenges ahead, and the congregation she now leads.
(Editor's note: Responses have been edited for context and clarity.)
9NEWS: Where did your journey with the Episcopal Church begin?
Lucas: I am actually what they call a near-cradle Episcopalian. My godmother had me baptized in the church when I was two years old. So, I started my spiritual journey in the Episcopal church. She was a member of what our church calls the Altar Guild. That is the group that sets the table and prepares the space for worship every Sunday. I remember my early childhood, spending early Sunday mornings in church while back then the Altar Guild ladies did their work. I just got to hang out in church which was a pretty cool thing.
So, you grew up in the Episcopal Church?
I did. I did. I left for a little while when my godmother died, and my mother remarried. My stepfather was Methodist. So, I spent my middle school and high school years in the Methodist Church. That's where I was introduced to church camp and had a good time.
I ran screaming from church when I was a senior in high school but didn't stay gone long because the Episcopal chaplain at Wake Forest University, the late Reverend Bob McGee, coaxed me back into the church.
So, you have a lot of good memories with this church?
Very good. Very good memories.
Did you ever expect as a young girl or a student at Wake Forest University that you would be sitting here as the 11th Bishop of the Episcopal Church of Colorado?
No! In fact, I remember when I started going back to church in college, my chaplain said "Well, you know, I think it's time for you to do your confirmation classes," and I said, "sure, I'm ready to own my faith. I'm ready to be a Christian." Soon after that, he said to me, "Oh, have you ever thought that you might be called to ministry?" To which I said, "No way!" But, I've learned in my faith, as a disciple as I'm following Jesus, every time I say, "no way," Jesus has a different response. I had not planned to pursue being a Bishop.
In our church process, when a Bishop retires, churches put out their profile which says who they are and who they've been and who they hope to be and where they're going. Some friends of mine were sitting around and said, "You have to listen to this profile from the diocese of Colorado." My friend was reading it and she said, "who does that sound like to you?" and they all looked at me. I figured, if I'm going to be faithful, I have to walk down the path.
Was it just like a light bulb that went off in that moment?
It did and there was also a part of me that said, "oh no!"
What about the description of the retiring Bishop here in Colorado matched up with your personality?
One of the things that I loved was that the Episcopal Church in Colorado has had a lot of conflict. Primarily around issues of same-gender, same-sex marriage around the ordination of LGBTQI clergy. A lot of difficulty and conflict and yet this church has emerged a church that is hopeful. I love that because I came out of a church where I had people all over the political spectrum in Washington D.C. I had members of my church from every political administration dating back to Gerald Ford. What I said to them was, we don't have to be like-minded, we don't have to think the same about everything, but we have to be like-hearted. We have to approach every situation in a loving way, in a respectful way, in a way that is open to the spirit of God as it moves through us.
Hearing that this diocese had gone through all of those struggles but came together and had hope in their life and in their call to be a church together was really powerful to me. It really resonated with me. That they were really looking at the tough issues of the world around them and wanting to be a positive factor was really exciting to me. So, I said, 'Yes! This sounds like a place I would love to be."
Tell me about the moment you learned you had been elected as the eleventh Bishop of the church.
Oh, my goodness. I remember that morning, calling a friend of mine saying, "Do you really think they're going to elect me?" Even then I was not sure where this path would end. I remember getting the phone call from the head of the standing committee which is the governing body here and just being overwhelmed, being delighted, being terrified and excited at the same time and just having this deep profound sense that this was right. This was good, and this was right.
What was it like then looking back on your life and history in this church to identify your path to this place?
Oh, absolutely! I always say, hindsight, you can always see how God is moving in your life if you take the time to look back and look at it. You know, it's funny to me that my husband grew up in Kansas City, Missouri and his family always came to Colorado for vacation. So, when we got married we started coming to Colorado for vacations. I fell in love with it the first time I came out here. That was over twenty years ago. Looking back and sort of seeing how things play out, it's very clear that God has been calling me here and I'm glad to be here.
What do you think about the sanctuary here?
Oh my gosh! St. John's Cathedral is an awesome place! I mean, it really is. I always say if you want to come and feel the transcendence of spirituality, this is a great place for it, a really wonderful place.
Would you call the Episcopal Church of Colorado a progressive, forward-thinking church?
I've been in Washington D.C. for a long time so labels like progressive and conservative don't always make sense in various contexts. What I would call this church is a church that is open to the Holy Spirit moving in it. It's an open church. It is open to where God might lead it and that might be to some very strange places or places that we really aren't expecting to go but there is this deep, profound sense of prayerfulness and openness in this church which is beautiful.
Did you consider that you would be making history as the first female, African American Bishop coming to this church?
Yes. One of the amazing things that I think is happening in our church is that we are receiving this wonderful blessing of openness into how we make our church leadership look like our church, look like our world. That the people of the Episcopal church of Colorado were open to that is very exciting to me. Even though it brings its own challenges. Like a lot of institutions that have been predominantly male and white, there will be challenges in that and we have to face them boldly, we have to look at them. But I sit here with sort of this great confidence in this community because we have intentionally embarked on this journey together. My ministry is not about me being a black female but who I am influences my ministry and how I see the world. That this church has agreed to embark on this adventure with me is a bold testament to their openness.
What kind of response have you gotten from members of this church to your arrival?
People are very excited and very helpful, and I love that and they're willing to minister with me which is great. One of my practices, on the rare occasion when I have a Sunday off, is I actually sneak into a church without my collar, without my clericals, and sit in the back and worship with the community. One of the things that I have found so far, is that the Episcopal Church in Colorado is an amazingly friendly church! People may say, "Do I know you? Have you been here before?" and I go, "No, this is my first visit," but they have been so welcoming and encouraging and embracing and sometimes people say, 'Oh my gosh, I'm sorry I didn't recognize you." For me, the greatest gift is being welcomed into a church community when people have no idea who I am. That's just been wonderful. A wonderful experience.
What are some of the challenges of stepping into an organization that has historically been led by white males?
Questions about qualifications are always a matter of people's understanding. I think one of the great things about our process in the Episcopal Church is that every candidate for Bishop has to face the same vetting process. So, everyone is sort of vetted on the same criteria. That's something that we've sort of built into our process that helps with that.
I think when we haven't had examples in our life of leadership that looks a certain way, when we haven't had teachers, we haven't had bosses, we haven't had examples in our life of leadership looking different from us, it's often hard to imagine what that leadership is like. The good news for us in the Episcopal Church is that we have processes and systems in our church governance that help us meet some of those challenges.
What does your family, especially your kids, think about you taking on this role?
I got this text from my daughter the other day that said, "Mom, I'm totally going to flex on you being a Bishop now." I'm not quite sure what that means but I think that's a good thing. I think that's a good thing. They're very excited for me. They're a little anxious about the move but they are really very excited for me.
What do you want to say to the people of this Church and to the people of Colorado?
I want to tell Colorado; the Episcopal Church in Colorado is awesome! If you haven't checked it out, you should. How excited and proud I am of the churches here in Colorado. They are wonderful examples of how the Holy Spirit is moving and how they want to be followers of Jesus and share that love in the world. I am thrilled to be here.

thank you so much!! This was the first game I made that included world building, trying to move past pong style games, thank you for your feedback!
thank you so much!! I hadn't thought about the placement of the dialogue box, I'll update that on my next game!
The attack was very wonky, you can even hit facing away! That part was rushed to release on time. Lots of room to improve, haha!
thank you! I also felt like the last puzzle was misleading. I don't have much experience designing puzzles like this so I can only improve!
Thanks! Uh, oh, what part are you stuck at? If it's the last part with 8 platforms the trick is to unlock opposite corners. (Spoiler alert.)
Hi, thanks for the feedback! Art is not my strongest area, but there's room to improve! As for the scrolling, can you use WASD/E? That might resolve that problem. I'm not at my computer right now but I'll check it out later.
thank you for the feedback! Level design is something I struggle with so I decided to go all out on this game! I'm glad you liked it!
Fun game! I like the graphics and the controls are very smooth. Those little buggers are fast!
You play as Sherlock Bones, a dog detective. You have to sniff out clues to solve the mystery of Who's A Good Boy?
Hi, Thanks for the feedback! I will definitely take this into consideration on my next game.
Thank you for the feedback! I struggled a lot getting the precision of the blaster right. I think the finished product was close, but it could have been better. The floating bubbles was another challenge I just could not get right in the time limit. All things to consider for my next jam. Thank you for playing!
Thanks for the feedback! I intentionally made it hard because I wanted people to get to the monster scene before they lost interest. I did have sound in, but I took it out at the last minute. I didn't realize that was a judging criteria, but I'll remember that for my next jam. Thank you for playing!
Thanks for the feedback! This was the first time I watched someone play a game I made (Who wasn't related to me) it was so surreal!
I did have the bubbles staggered in an earlier version, but I couldn't get the formula right to cycle through the 6 bubbles around it. That's just the lazy explanation, I could have spent more time to get it right.
I also had a film projector sound effect but while test playing I felt it got really annoying really fast so I took it out at the last minute.
Thank you for your suggestions! I will definitely take them into consideration on future projects. I'm glad you liked it!
I really enjoyed this game! I think this would make a really cool mobile game. Then I could totally play this while my husband's watching boring sports!

Spring Cleaning Small Spaces
We live in a very modest one bedroom/one bathroom apartment. Tipping the scales at just 783 square feet, we have had to adjust with most of the "basics" and to get creative. We don't have too much storage so we rely on our generous parents to help store some of the holiday decorations and out of season items. When it comes to Spring Cleaning we are both excited because it means time to clean and time to purge. The Beard is an avid cleaner and honestly enjoys a day off where he can clean our apartment. He can give Martha a run for her money!
Now that spring is upon us, we decided to tackle the chore of cleaning and reorganizing our little space. For all of the Spring Cleaning checklists that are out there, I didn't find much that helped in the way of small spaces. Sure we can all afford to clean our windows, door hardware, oven and defrost the freezer. But what about those of us that need to reorganize our closet and move winter clothes out and summer clothes in? What do we do when there isn't closet space and clothes need to come out? Or what about that extra bedding we need to switch out since the cold months have passed?
I decided it was the perfect time to get to thinking and come up with my own checklist. Of course there are the yearly routine things to do but then what about the extras? Take a look at some of the ideas I came up with.
By far the easiest room in the apartment (it's also the smallest). This part of your living space should be the quickest to mark off your list.
The dreaded bedroom! This room is one I avoid because it needs non stop attention. While it may not be the most time consuming (the kitchen is in my opinion) it is very detailed. If you're like us, you have to change out your cold weather bedding for your warm weather bedding. Then it's time to tackle washing all the bed linens and things, which can take a few hours. After that it's time to start on the dressers and closets. It really is key to take everything out of your drawers so you get a chance to refold, reorganize and pitch the things you don't want.
My biggest problem – space saving! I don't move too many clothes to storage but there are more dresses/skirts and lightweight tops that I pull out to be in my direct line of sight. Those extra pieces? I use SPACEBAGS! Seriously, this stuff is genius and the best product for small apartment dwellers like myself. We have extra bedding, winter coats, and heavier winter items stored in these bags under our bed. It tends to only take up half of the under bed space, and we're left with more space if needed. My second trick – a hope chest in my closet. We got lucky in that our closets were deep enough to fit my hope chest. This guy houses extra bags, pillows, hats, odds and ends and other things that I want to access quicker than opening a SPACEBAG. At the end of the day, what I don't wear, I donate. There is no use holding on to a sweater that I didn't wear all summer only to take up more space and then not wear it again next winter.
I wish I could leave the kitchen for The Beard. Actually, I don't think he would mind it. The Kitchen consumes most of your time and stress because there is so much! And think about all the times when you cook, and that mysterious spill occurs and you have no idea where the drips led too. It's probably a good idea to find out and clean up the mess, even if it is months later. This is another area of the house where we need just a bit more space. Going through our cabinets, cleaning and reorganizing allowed us to reconfigure our stuff and make better use of the space we had.
Finally, the living room! If you're anything luck us, you spend a lot of time in this room. Not only is it the place where we watch tv, but it's a make shift office, library, dining room, and sometimes bedroom when we have our littlest friends over for a slumber party. This is the part of the apartment that gathers the most "crap" and needs to be tended too every week. Even with the constant upkeep, it needs a little extra love at the beginning of the spring. Plus, it doesn't hurt to pull out your couch, vacuum behind it and find out what your cat has been hiding since Christmas. Be smart about how you use and maximize your space. Bins and baskets are a great way to hide the stuff you don't use everyday but like to have handy (especially video games and dvd's). Extra magazines lying around? Donate them or recycle them.
I hope this simple guide helps those of you that suffer with small space/square footage issues. Or even for those people that just need a little help in how to clean your space this spring. You never know what you'll find when you're cleaning out drawers and old purses…

When a workplace hires employees, they then become responsible for those workers and what they do with regards to the business. However, this works specifically with permanent or long-term employees. In the case of staffing agencies, employment is temporary for the business hiring out and insurance responsibilities are taken care of by the staffing agency. This means, if while working a temporary job, someone were to cause a problem or claim, that business would not be able to use their insurance to cover the costs. Instead, staffing insurance solutions are necessary for the agency to acquire before hiring out temporary staff.
What Type of Insurance Is Needed for Staffing?
Since every staffing agency is different, it's important to think in terms of what types of jobs your employees will work and what risks they may be at. In broad terms, though, there are a few staffing insurance policies you should highly consider in any situation:
General Liability
Errors and Omissions (E&O)
Worker's Compensation
Crime Liability
Employment Practices Liability (EPL)
However, this is just a fraction of available coverage. Staffing insurance solutions typically include programs with a variety of helpful policies. Some others that may be necessary depending on the workplace can include different types of Professional or Business Liability, Automobile Coverage, Inland Marine, Fiduciary Liability, Employee Benefits Liability and much more.

"Liquor in the front, party in the rear."
That's the motto of The Bend Liquor Lounge, a new '70s-style boozing spot in Miami Lakes.
But it's also a snappy way to describe the former occupant of 6844 NW 169 St., a strip-mall dive (and 2013 recipient of New Times' Best of Miami award for Bar, North) called Our Place.
See also: Ten of Miami's Oldest Bars
On May 2, 2014, Our Place Lounge got busted by local police and the feds for selling legal drinks in the front room while running an illegal poker game and peddling contraband (including cocaine, weed, and molly) in the back room.
But today, The Bend operates a clean business.
Owned by architect Landy Lamas and builder Mo Lacayo, the joint has swapped Our Place's illegal poker for vintage arcade games like Galaga. And it's dropped the no-name drafts (not to mention cocaine, weed, and molly) in favor of classic and craft brews.
See also: The 10 People Who Won't Make It in Miami
"Beers cost as little as $2.50 cans to $4 or $6 pints," Lamas says. "And we have everything from old-man beers like Miller High Life, Rolling Rock, Coors Banquet tall boys and PBR, which can be ordered as Boilermaker Combos, to a well-rounded craft beer selection on tap and in bottles and cans.
"We will also carry Miami beers from Biscayne Bay Brewing, Wynwood Brewing, Gravity Brewlab, and MIA, as well as many other Florida and American crafts. There are some great imports from Belgium and Germany too."
And yes, The Bend is just as serious about its harder booze.
"Our cocktails include a Dark n' Stormy, always $5 when it's raining outside," he points out. "There's also a Moscow Mule, The Bend Old Fashioned, a Bee's Knees, a classically prepared daiquiri, and a proper mai-tai.
"Cocktails are $7 to $8 and $2 off during happy hour, from 3 to 8 p.m. daily. And there is a Highball Happy Hour we are offering as well. Harvey Wallbangers are available upon request!"
"This was our local watering hole, our favorite dive until it started going downhill," Lamas says.
And he adds: "It's notoriety as it was operated was not part of the reason we decided to open there. We are architects and builders who specialize in bar and restaurant design, so we recognized it for the gem that it is."
As admirers of Our Place's retro vibe and '70s design flourishes, Landy and Mo preserved the joint's hexagon bar. They also kept the quirky diagonal wood paneling and mirrors that covered its walls. And the old cigarette machine is still tucked into a corner too.
But 6844 NW 169 St. also got a major overhaul.
"We stripped it down of all finishes, furniture, and flooring," he explains, "and we updated them to '70-inspired finishes and trim, but we were very careful not to make it themed. No disco balls or Saturday Night Fever."
"The bar was opened in the '70s, but had been muddled up by shabby remodels. After stripping it down to its bones, we could appreciate its original spirit and decided to build on it. The '70s was a key time for the development of the area and we thought of nothing more fitting for a quote-unquote local bar."
And like every neighborhood boozing spot, everyone is welcome at The Bend.
Although, Lamas laughs, "We politely asked all the drug dealers not to come back."

News Headlines - 23 October 2018
▽What can be learned from feverish nation-building of Meiji Restoration? - The Japan News
Tuesday marks the passage of 150 years since an Imperial edict was issued to change the name of the era to "Meiji" on Oct. 23, 1868. The government will hold a commemorative ceremony... Society, however, seems not to be as interested as it was back in 1968, when the passage of 100 years was marked. Five decades ago, when the nation was in a period of rapid economic growth, people could have found something in common with the time of the Meiji Restoration, when the nation was steadily developing.
At present, when Japan is ever more swiftly becoming an aged society with a low birthrate, and economic growth remains at low levels, it has become difficult even to imagine the energy for reform felt at the time of the Meiji Restoration.
▽Spain beats Japan to longer life expectancy - but did UK make top 10? | Express.co.uk
The Mediterranean country has overtaken Japan in the top spot for the first time in many years, according to a new study.
Spaniards will live for an average of 85.8 years by the year 2040, the recent statistics show, while Japanese people will have an average lifespan of 85.7 years
A report by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) published in the journal The Lancet unveiled the new findings.
▽Turkey to host four-nation summit on Syria crisis | The Japan Times
A summit between the leaders of Turkey, France, Germany and Russia will be held in Istanbul this month to discuss the conflict in Syria and efforts for a lasting solution to the war in the Arab country, a Turkish official said Friday.
Presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin, in a written statement said the summit will take place on Oct. 27.
▽German foreign minister: U.S. should consider consequences of leaving nuclear treaty | Reuters
Germany's Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said the United States should consider the consequences, both for Europe and for future disarmament efforts, of pulling out of an international treaty aimed at eliminating a class of nuclear weapons.
▽Russian woman charged with interference in 2018 midterms
A Russian woman has been charged with trying to interfere and "sow discord" in the American political system, including in the 2018 midterm elections as part of a conspiracy that exploited thousands of social media accounts and emails that claimed to be owned by U.S. residents, authorities said.
Elena Khusyaynova of St. Petersburg, Russia, is accused of participating in a conspiracy engaged in "information warfare against the United States" that aimed "create and amplify divisive social media and political content."

Empty heart and empty soul
A lover on remote control
All colors fade to gray
The more they play this love charade
Why don't you see, why don't you feel that love is free?
Ichi-gi ichi-go
All alone in Tokyo
Don't you see? Don't you know?
They've got nowhere else to go
Ichi-gi, ichi-go
Far away from Tokyo
They believe in Geisha Dreams
Dadi da ......
Perfect body and perfect smile
An illusion for a while
Born to love and trained to please
And paid to put your mind at ease
But don't you see, but don't you feel that love is free?
Dadi da ........
All your love and hopes and dreams
All you feel down deep inside aint't real
Don't count for anything
Cause Geisha dreams aren't meant to be
Why don't you see, why don't you feel that love is free?
