There's something so inherently mysterious about Oxford. Time-worn buildings loom over pretty cobbled streets, well-trodden throughout history by the city's rich, famous and otherwise legendary visitors or residents. And in continuation of its reputation as a hub of world-class academia there are countless new faces that creep beneath its oak-panelled woodwork, waiting impatiently to launch themselves on the world just as successfully as their predecessors.
For someone who's reasonably well-travelled, I'm somewhat ashamed to say that this was my first trip to the 'City of Spires'. But for all the exotic locations I have visited, Oxford still did not disappoint. Appealing to my inner hopeless romantic and an imagination that gets carried away all too easily, I got to know the city's more ghoulish side as one ghost story after another unravelled before my eyes.
Beginning suitably, I checked into Oxford's infamous Malmaison, a magnificent castle-like building with a history as colourful as the city's own. Originally constructed by William the Conqueror in 1071, the imposing front façade can't help but grab your attention. Complete with flag-adorned turrets and cruciform arrow-slits, the backdrop for your epic novel-in-the-making is instantaneously set.
Inside, the building is just as eye-enticing. Until 1995, perhaps in happy marriage with the translation of Malmaison (bad house), the hotel was formally known as HM Prison Oxford. Under this guise, it was used as the backdrop for Michael Caine's The Italian Job, and has been used for other television since, including ITV's Bad Girls. But, with its sale, some clever, artistically minded entrepreneur decided to transform it into an altogether different kind of overnight stay.
The Oxford Mal plays on the prison theme very well. Enter into a world of sandstone Gothic arches, limestone floors, mullioned windows and portcullis-styled shelving and it's hard not to get further caught up in the theatre of its design. Suites such as 'the clink' offer things like sleigh-style beds, raised sitting rooms and walk-in dressing rooms. The rest of the 95 bedrooms in A Wing, C Wing, the Governor's House, New Road Wing, and not to mention the 'House of Correction' will offer you Malmaison standards like broadband, plasma screens with DVD players, roll-top baths and drench showers. Slip on your bathrobe while your coffee cools, dare to steal the classy toiletries and relax on their wonderfully comfortable queen-size beds. There's a consistent use of moody lighting throughout which adds to the hotel's ghostly ambience.
Despite my initial reservations, this 'theme' is not overdone (just don't look at the website and you won't get prison-pun overkill). You'll be captivated by the bizarre high-ceilinged original décor that has been given a modern makeover. The prison stairs are still there, as are the rows of cells complete with original doors, but behind them you'll now find rooms that take up the space of what would have been three. Colourful carpets have replaced the clinical linoleum, and you'll no longer find a canteen that serves overcooked cabbage. Rather, the replacement brasserie offers stylish and contemporary dining. You'll find firm French bistro style favourites on the menu, using locally sourced ingredients. Choose the ham and rabbit terrine, potted duck and piccalilli, along with mouth-watering braised pig's cheeks, succulent roasted venison and sumptuous sticky goodness in the form of dark chocolate tart, triple banana mousse and sticky toffee pudding. Talk to the friendly resident sommelier and he'll help guide you through the interesting wine list.
Along with the restaurant, the hotel's personality spreads further out into the bar – another quirky edition. Once the visitors' room, where guards would patrol to check contraband substances were not being swapped, these days by contrast it ensures that your glass is filled with the finest of liquors and spirits. Try the aptly named 'Locked Up' and 'The Great Escape' cocktails, and nestle into one of the cavernous sofas. You could easily mistake it for New York's Jekyll and Hyde bar, oozing potential for mysterious dalliances of your own.
From the grounds outside, gaze on to Oxford Castle that sits just next door. Step inside to hear torturous tales dating back from the 11th century and see first-hand how the more modern hostages were kept. Downstairs, the dungeons are supposedly haunted. Both the castle and the hotel offer stunning views out onto the city below where the ghostly romantic ambience continues.
Feed your imaginations further by heading out for a stroll into the grounds of Magdalen College, one of the University's most attractive. Wander in amongst the cloisters that date from 1458 and out along the flow of the river into the Fellows Garden. This was a place of particular interest to me, as it holds a personal tale – fortunately, this time far from ghoulish. It was here, under a tree, one summer's day, that my grandmother met her husband, my grandfather, many many years ago. Sit and muse on one of the benches carved from an old tree trunk and spot magpies stalking around the deer herd.
You can't deny there's a certain romance and history in continual making in Oxford. Time to escape the routine for a weekend, and start your own story.
Doubles and twins start from £190 including breakfast. Malmaison have constant seasonal promotions running, see: www.malmaison.com/promotions for more information. Oxford Castle open daily from 10am, adult admission: £7.95. Magdalen College: open Jan- July, 1-6pm, adult admission: £4.50.

The Solar Foundation recognized that it had issues with representation of women on the board and on staff.
In 2012, The Solar Foundation's five-member Board of Directors was composed entirely of men, and all staff (excluding the Executive Director) were men as well. Recognizing this gender disparity, The Solar Foundation made positive steps to recruit a more diverse Board and team.
Active outreach to women leaders in the clean energy space helped to improve representation on the TSF Board, and emphasizing diversity in hiring and to voluntarily abide by federal anti-discrimination laws in hiring (as the organization was small enough at the time to not be required to follow these rules).
Due to these changes, 40% of the TSF Board of Directors, along with the Board Chair, are women. In addition, 40% of staff are women. TSF is in the process of adopting additional policy changes to further promote gender diversity, as well as diversity among other groups.
In 2017, we released the first comprehensive report on diversity and inclusion in the U.S. solar workforce. What we found was that like other energy sectors, the solar industry has a long way to go in order to provide equal opportunities for women, people of color, LGBTQ people, and veterans. As a mission-driven nonprofit, it's our responsibility to set the same standards for our organization as we do for the solar industry. That's why we've made a commitment to diversity and inclusion within our board, leadership team, and staff, which will strengthen the organization and help us better reflect the communities we serve.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Former New York Gov. David Paterson was a WFAN guest host Monday night. Paterson took to the air at 10 p.m. for a three-hour show in which he talked NCAA Tournament, Knicks basketball and the New York Mets.
Before he went on the air, he sat down with 1010 WINS' Kyle McMorrow for a quick chat about sports, politics and hosting his own sports show.
LISTEN: David Paterson with Mets pitcher Chris Young
LISTEN: David Paterson with Knicks analyst Len Elmore
Paterson said among his childhood dreams were to "become governor of the state of New York" and "to host my own radio show one day."
The former governor said he earlier picked Ohio State – which lost to Kentucky in the Sweet 16 — to win the NCAA Tournament. He joked that his predictions were "poison."
"So I'm going to pick Kentucky because I'd rather any of the three other teams to actually win the tournament," Paterson said.
He also voiced the opinion that it was harder to talk sports than politics.
"People disagree a little more respectfully [in politics], but in sports, you can say something like 'well I don't think they really have such a good team this year' and somebody will want to take your head off," Paterson said.
Please offer your thoughts in the comments sections below.
Very monotone, could not get into the 20/20 smoothly, the whole show was choppy. As a co-host he did great, as the only host he is not ready for prime time
Gov Paterson did very well. He has alot of sports knowledge and did as well as any of the hosts on WFAN…
Caught some of it unknowingly and I thought, "Who's the new guy, he's pretty good."

Yellow fever: Bauchi State govt flags off aerial spray to curtail Quelea birds
Balarabe Alkassim, Bauchi
Bauchi State government has flagged off an aerial spray to curb the menace of Quelea birds and the Mosquito that act as the vector for the spread of Yellow Fever in affected areas.
It has also planned to immunise 500, 000 people in Alkaleri and Tafawa Balewa local government areas where the recent Yellow fever outbreak affected some people.
Speaking at the flag off of aerial spray of Quelea birds, mosquitoes and reactive vaccination at the Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa International Airport Bauchi on Thursday, Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed disclosed that the action is in response to the threats posed by Yellow fever and Quelea birds in the state.
He added that, the exercise is part of government's commitment of the towards addressing health and other challenges especially response to emergency situation.
According to the governor, the vaccination would be intensified in high risks areas of Alkaleri and Tafawa Balewa local government areas.
He therefore urged people living in the areas to come forward and be vaccinated.
Governor Mohammed commended traditional rulers especially the Emir of Dass, Bilyaminu Othman regarding the outbreak of Yellow Fever in parts of the state.
Speaking on the menace of Quelea birds he said that the state wants to stop the annual destruction of thousands of tonnes of farm produce by the birds whenever they arrive in some parts of the state.
He also thanked the federal ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development for providing the aircrafts to be used in spraying 38 rusty sites
"The aircraft came at the needed time. We are leveraging on the federal government's gesture to use the aircrafts to spray the areas where the vector carrying Yellow Fever are believed to be," he said.
He promised to continue giving priority to health and other issues adding that, he has already declared a State of emergency in the health sector and increased health budget to 16 per cent in the 2019 Budget.
The governor said that his administration has paid N200 million as counterpart funds to the Bill & Mellinda Gates and Dangote Foundation, UNICEF and USAID healthcare sector intervention in the state.
"Despite the state of emergency to reposition the health sector, indices such as the rates of Infant and maternal mortality are worrisome. I have therefore given marching order to the Honorable Commsioner for Health to convene a Health Summit to enable us know the gaps," he said.
Speaking earlier, the Executive Secretary, Bauchi State Primary Health Care Development Agency (BSPHCDA), Dr Rilwanu Mohammed, commended the governor his quick response and provision of funds to curtail the Yellow Fever outbreak.

In a clash of styles at the Roundhouse Friday night, the Ankeny Centennial Jaguars shot 28 free throws to Lincoln's four in a game that ended in a 56-51 loss for the home team on Senior Night.
The Rails struggled mightily from the field, shooting just 33 percent and 10-of-33 from three but Lincoln also out-rebounded Centennial 32-29. The difference in the game was simple: free throw attempts.
Lincoln put up 57 shots from the field while the Jaguars put up 43 during the game. Not only did Centennial shoot 24 more shots from the charity stripe than the Rails, they connected on 18-of-32 of their two point attempts while going 0-for-11 from three.
The Railsplitters finish the regular season at 10-11 and went right back to work Saturday morning to prepare for the first round of the 4A Substate 2 Playoff matchup with Urbandale, set for Monday night at John Carle Court at the Roundhouse.
In the regular season matchup with Urbandale, Lincoln survived an spirited defensive grind to pull out a 49-47 win on the Jayhawks' floor. Urbandale finished the regular season at 5-16 but beat Roosevelt and Ottumwa in the final week of the year.
Tip-off is scheduled for 7pm Monday night at the Roundhouse and the winner will travel up to Ames to take on the Little Cyclones Friday night.

Change and configuration auditing software vendor Netwrix released a survey of 577 information technology (IT) professionals showing a potential lack of controls and documentation in IT change management processes.
Among the survey's findings:
- 57 percent of the organizations were making undocumented changes.
- 62 percent of the IT departments had no real ability to audit changes.
- 65 percent had service interruptions due to changes.
- 17 percent of the large enterprises found that a change caused a security breach.
These are very serious findings because IT change management is such a foundational part of every IT department's mission. Weaknesses and lack of oversight in this area can lead to system downtime, security breaches, internal and external threats and reduced operational efficiency.
The majority of organizations reported they had change management process controls in place, although this declined with the size of the organization. The lack of change management process controls was even more pronounced when measured against IT staff size. Although 38 percent stated they had systems in place to audit changes, many were relying on system log data as their change audit system. System logs contain important change-related data, but its presence is no guarantee it's in a meaningful format.
This opens the door for the most eye-opening finding—57 percent of respondents were making continual periodic changes that were undocumented. Seven percent reported making continual periodic undocumented changes daily, 21 percent reported making them weekly and 20 percent reported making them monthly.
Many of the organizations had processes in place and/or documented known changes. Without having knowledge of all the changes that occurred, though, they had no way of measuring the effectiveness of their change management controls. This enabled IT staff to make system changes without oversight, risk assessment or documenting completed changes in case of service interruptions or security events. This was true (to a greater or lesser extent) regardless of entity or IT staff size.
Given the potential risks to organizations, IT change management (and the ability to verify the effectiveness of the process) is key to limiting the risk of security incidents and service interruptions.

Volunteers and supplies are ready to go for this year's selected project in the United Way of Mason County's Day of Caring. Tuesday, June 23, the Shelton Timberland Library's front entrance area will get a fresh coat of paint. The library will be closed to the public on that day.
United Way selected the Library from a host of proposed Day of Caring projects. The organization's website reports the day is one of making connections:
"Some of the best experiences people have are visiting with the people they are helping that day. Others like the camaraderie that comes with working together."
Awnaroll Painting will donate equipment, supplies and safety training for the volunteers. The Friends of the William G. Reed Public Library will purchase paint, pay for the power washing and for professional painting of the upper section.
This project is a joint effort of the City of Shelton, Timberland Regional Library, the Friends of the Library, United Way. Library Manager Patty Ross thanked the community for its support and remarked on the project:
"I know this community has great pride in its library. Your caring makes a huge difference. A fresh coat of paint is not only an aesthetic improvement, it also serves to increase the life of the wood and hence the building itself. The City of Shelton, that owns the building, is looking at ways to raise the funds needed to finish the job, but for now, painting the front with volunteers is a great start."
The Shelton Timberland Library is located 710 Alder Street. For information, contact the library at (360) 426-1362, or visit www.TRL.org.

Five easy steps to your civil wedding ceremony
With so much to think about, planning a wedding can be stressful. We've put together this easy 5 step guide to plan your hassle-free day.
Step 1 – Choose Your Venue
There is a variety of options to choose from in Nottinghamshire with 9 ceremony rooms across 5 registration offices and 70 licensed venues to suit all styles and budgets.
➤ choose your venue
Step 2 – Book Your Ceremony and Registrars
In order to book your ceremony you must:
➤ contact us to book a provisional date and time (a £150 deposit is payable)
➤ read our ceremony terms and conditions
Step 3 – Notice of Marriage or Civil Partnership
As part of the legal formalities, you must each give notice of intention to marry/form a civil partnership:
➤ if you live in Nottinghamshire, you can do this at one of our registration offices
➤ if you live outside of Nottinghamshire, you will need to make an appointment with your local registration office
➤ you can give notice up to one year in advance of your ceremony date (we recommend at least three months before)
➤ once you have given notice, there is a minimum waiting period of 28 consecutive days before the ceremony can take place (this can be longer, dependent on your circumstances)
Step 4 – Plan Your Ceremony
Use our supplier page to browse a list of wedding suppliers and visit our book your ceremony page for more information on:
➤ ceremony choices and readings
➤ booking your ceremony rehearsal discussion
Step 5 – Final checks
Approximately 2 months before your ceremony is the time to finalise and check all arrangements:
➤ have you both given your notice of intention to marry?
➤ have you paid any outstanding balance to us?
Why not book a ceremony rehearsal discussion to agree any personalisation e.g. personal vows, readings, music and finalise all the details?
Your final preferences for ceremony content should be decided before attending this rehearsal discussion as it may not be possible to accommodate late requests.
If attending a ceremony rehearsal discussion you should bring the sheet of your completed choice, which will either have been given to you at your notice appointment (if you live in Nottinghamshire) or sent to you if notice was given elsewhere.

4 Tips to See Loans as an Opportunity and not as a Headache
Loans are an opportunity to get out of trouble and get rid of worry as long as you keep in mind some tips that will make your life simpler
When you think about applying for a loan, the first thing that comes to your mind is the time you are going to have that debt and how much you will have to work to pay for it, error! If this is your initial thought, let us tell you that you started in a bad way.
Loans should be seen as an opportunity for growth, a window that opens up so you can grow or optimize your resources, when you think in this way you will not see the problems, but you will find opportunities to give an optimal use to the credit you are going to acquire.
An effective way in which you can see the loans as a lifesaver and not as a headache, is taking into account the following steps:
1. Identify the purpose of your loan
What do you want to make this loan for? What are you going to invest this money? What is the area you want to strengthen? These are some of the questions you should ask yourself before applying for a loan, in this way you will be focused and you can design a plan to define how you will distribute the money that you enter, thus preventing it from becoming pocket money without a clear objective.
2. Make a successful payment plan
In companies like Rapicredit, we give you the possibility to choose the ideal payment date for you, try to define dates and quantities that you can really fulfill, at this point honesty is fundamental, and you must be realistic with what you are going to agree, as well you are going to avoid that the days of the payment of the loan become a tension.
3. Plan the evolution of your investment (Invest in a business):
Write month by month how you would like your investment to be turned into profits, remember that what is not planned is not done, if you want a month after your investment the production of the company increases by 10% for the machines that you have just buy, write it! so you can follow up and see how the plan you had is true.
4. Set a payment goal:
so you have established with the lender a payment date for your debt, do not rely solely on it, if you see that you can advance your payment do it! This is going to show the entity that you really are a customer that you can trust.
When you detect a reason to request a loan and above all, when you avoid doing it in times of despair or crisis, it is more possible that you can identify the positive in them, their real meaning within what you want for your company, in if you want to invest in something or for any time in life.
The same happens when you have a clear plan of everything you want to do, see how everything you want becomes a reality, it will show you what the loan really did and you will be sure that this was actually a lifesaver for you.

Hi thank you for visiting the profile and all that shiz, so yeah i'm a vegetarian, perfectionist, graphic designer, storyboard artist, singer, songwriter, musician, guitarist, basketball player and amateur street dancer.
If you don't surrender we will be forced to shoot you!
We are doing this because we are men!
I am God.
As long as you are in my world i will always have strings on you.
I'm sorry this puppet can't speak right now, please save yourself the bother, she hasn't got much time left.
Akiva is 16 years old, gender is gender-fluid, cancer zodiac sun sign and has had a negleted up bringing.
On these lines Akiva is standing at the edge of a building, deciding to commit suicide or not, so Akiva's voice should be distraught, emotions all over the place and at the point of a breakdown. please try to keep yourself from actually going into a depressive state to do these lines, unless you know for certain that you can handle it. I would never want a voice actor to go into depression. :)
Just leave me alone...
I'm the one that needs protecting, that's why i got the name Akiva.
I'm not strong enough...
This is my depiction of the biblical Mary but in terms of voice just try to use your depiction of what Mary sounds like.
You turn my earth into hell, Lucifer it is you.
Fordon is 40 years old, religious horrible father.
In line one, Akiva has damaged Fordons car
In line two, Skyla has ran outside the house.
I'm going to make you regret for what you did to my car.
Skyla, if you don't go back inside right now, i will stone you to death for disobeying your elders.
this is just a one line character.
My wife will never find out.
this is just a one line character.
I hate him.
this is just a one line character.
It's alright, i will clean up your mess.
this is just a one line character.
I hate her.
this is just a one line character.
I imagined it with sadness and a hint of joy from freedom.
I never wanted you.
Some people say that they can remember coming out of the womb as a baby. i remember being a sperm cell racing towards the egg.
I remember my first fight. i guess he didn't see that coming.
Christians called me God, Hindus called me Vishnu, Muslims called me Allah, Buddhists called me an abomination, but i am....
This is my depiction of the biblical Lucifer but in terms of voice just try to use your depiction of what Lucifer sounds like.
It's time to see my son.
My love is dead, my son is dead, they are both dead!
You turn my hell into earth.
Are you the one doing this to me?
Well say that i believe that, who are you then?
Yeah and i'm the devil (in a sarcastic way)
Saturn is the astrological ruler of Capricorn and this is my depiction of what it looks like. Saturn is a teacher so when i think of how it sounds like, i just think of my worst teachers in primary/secondary school and college, that are always right but teach with fear, so i would just say do the same.
If that is the way you want it to be.
Yes, my name is Saturn.
The one that got away, huh?
Skyla is 16 years old, gender is gender-fluid, capricorn zodiac sun sign and has had a abusive up bringing.
In line one, Skyla's father is threatening Skyla to get inside the house.
In line two, Skyla is on top of their father attacking him with a bat.
In line three, Skyla has knocked out their father and is standing over him.
No, i'm not going back inside, you bigoted excuse for a father!
How does it feel huh? Are you getting this pain from God? Are you? ARE YOU?
You're not worth it.
this is just a one line character
I chose to put this line in to show that there's no corralation between human body parts and gender.
Line one is the Dr looking at the Yin Yang's body parts at birth and trying to decide what gender Yin is by looking at its body parts, but Yin's body parts keep changing so the Dr can't use "sex" (using body parts to determine gender) to determine Yin's gender.
It is a....... Gi.... Ermmm a boy?

Last week I posted the intro to a talk on work and service. Here are the rest of the points. (If you want to watch the video, it's on YouTube.)
God is a God who works, and His people are designed to imitate Him that way. And it begins at salvation. God didn't save us for nothing. Ephesians 2:10 says For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
But because we've chosen to follow God, to accept His commission, we become the enemy's target and a whole host of issues can interfere with our work and service. We'll look at some of those issues, and some strategies we can use to minimize their impact on our effectiveness.
We are underappreciated. Often we work alone or unnoticed. No one knows how many extra hours we put in, how many times we are the first ones at church or the last ones to leave.
RESPONSE: We need to become each other's advocates. Be a blessing and an encouragement to someone else. This goes double for your pastor and other leaders. So much of the time the only feedback they receive is negative.
We get tired. In an age when we have more comfortable beds, better, safer surroundings than ever before, we are less rested than we have ever been.
RESPONSE: God modeled rest for us as well. While the Bible never encourages laziness, Scripture does confirm our need to rest. Start by resolving to go to bed early one night a week or to take a Sunday afternoon nap. Rest is good. God said so. If we don't rest…
We burnout. We've had periods where it seemed like we had church functions 5 out of 6 nights a week and 3 on Sunday. If that's your life, you can't sustain that. The best way to tell if you're careening towards burnout is to check your level of JOY. If your joy has faded, then it may be time to do some objective evaluation of what you're doing, and why.
RESPONSE: Refocus on God. Worship and service is about that one-to-one relationship. Try getting away for a weekend, a day, or even an afternoon. Leave your phone and spend some time alone with God and rediscover the JOY of your relationship.
We get stuck doing things we were never meant to do. Bless you for being willing to step in and work outside your giftedness, but that's an indication that someone else should be stepping in.
RESPONSE: Don't be afraid to talk to your leadership and work with them to identify and train someone to take over. Don't let yourself feel guilty or lazy. When we take on things we weren't meant to do.
We start to believe that if we don't do it, it won't get done. We become ministry hogs. We start get a little full of ourselves and start to believe God is really lucky to have us on His team. Worse, we prevent other people from using their gifts, from working and serving. We send the message – "There's no place for you. You aren't needed."
RESPONSE: Look at the Biblical model – Paul and Peter were always pulling a young guy along with them. They were constantly turning the reins of ministry over to somebody else. We need to approach work with the mindset of working ourselves out of a job rather than settling in for life.
We mistake success for God's favor and so we put tremendous pressure on ourselves. We feel like we have to do everything, and do it to perfection or we'll be letting God down.
RESPONSE: Two radical words – Good enough. Trust God to bless your FAITHFULNESS, and not the results. Trust God to use what you've offered and let it go. Be like the kid with the loaves and fishes. What he had was totally inadequate to do the job of feeding the crowd, but he turned it over to Jesus – he LET GO of it – and because he did, Jesus did miraculous things with it.
We begin to compare ourselves to others, and we get embittered toward our fellow believers, our fellow laborers, and maybe even God Himself.
RESPONSE: Rather than use other believers as our measuring stick, try answering these two questions. Did I do what God asked me to do today? Did my interactions with other people reflect and glorify Jesus Christ?
So when frustration is high and energy is low remember this. For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. Hebrews 6:10
God sees. You are NOT laboring in the shadows. If no one else notices, God does and He is keeping records. And one day you will hear Him say, "Well done."

Today I am sharing my simple living new years resolutions / new years goals with you.
We are trying to live a simple more intentional life and by simplifying the "stuff" in our lives I am trying to embrace more experiences. More travel and having more fun. Simplifying my home has made me take a serious look at everything we use in our home and question the way we have always done things. I like to set resolutions that I can achieve. Nothing is worse than getting to the end of the year and not achieving anything you set out to do at the beginning. These 6 goals are very attainable and maybe you will want to try them out too!
Here are my 2019 Simple Living Goals:
Nothing in the New Year
Today I am joining Angela from Arrow Hill Cottage, on the Nothing New in the New Year Challenge. Check out her Minimalist Resolutions Here and her Minimalist Resolutions video here. This challenge is really simple! The challenge is to try not to buy anything new in the month of January. I feel this should be an easy challenge since we are coming out of Christmas and most of us have a lot of new things from the holidays. I am still going to buy groceries and necessities, obviously we have to eat, but nothing else. It will be interesting to see how much money we can save. After January is over I will continue throughout the year and only buy things we really need.
Before every purchase I like to ask myself a few questions. Where will I put this item? How often will I use this? Do I really need it? Is this a quality item that will last?
If I can answer all of these questions then I will write the item I am thinking of buying on a list and wait a month. If I am still thinking of the item every week then I will usually make the purchase, but 9 times out of 10 I forget about the item until I see the list. If that is the case I don't buy it. Sometimes waiting makes you realize you didn't need it after all.
Make Our Home Less Toxic
Turns out we have a lot of toxic things in our homes. Who knew? I watched the documentary Stink and became horrified at the amount of chemicals that are added into so many products we use and consume. I was already trying to make our home more eco friendly, but now I am going to try to make our home less toxic. I would suggest watching the documentary Stink and A Plastic Ocean. Both of these documentaries really showcased what is happening in our homes and in our environment. I am not trying to be perfect by any means, but I would love if my children could grow up in a non toxic world.
I am always looking for ways to be more eco friendly. Last year I stopped using plastic bags and I try not to buy things wrapped in plastic. If there is a glass option I always choose the glass. I notice most of the waste we create is from our kitchen so this year I am going to focus on transforming our kitchen into an eco friendly zone, with less waste.
Read More: Eco Friendly Kitchen
No Screen Days
I would love to implement a no screen day or portion of a day. I am mostly talking to myself on this goal and maybe my kids. I would love a day where I don't have any electronics going and no screens! I think we will start out with the weekends and try a no screen Sunday morning. Most goals are achieved over time, my plan is to start with a no screen Sunday morning and transition that to a full day every week where we don't have any devices going. Not even the TV! I honestly think this goal would be harder than losing weight LOL.
Live Intentionally
"Intentional living requires one to be aware of one's fundamental beliefs and to be willing to make an effort to have their behavior reflect these beliefs in a form of integrity in relation to his or her conscience and environment."-wikipedia To state this simply, I want to make the effort. It is easier to not declutter and it is easier to mindlessly shop for fun, and eat fast food. I want to make the effort to choose the better option, if there is a choice.
Keep Decluttering and Get Organized
Most of 2018 was spent decluttering our home. This was a huge undertaking! It seems there is always something that can be decluttered, but this year I would like to start getting organized. I would like our home to be ultra organized. I plan to come up with some ways to get organized and stay that way. The first item on my list is the kitchen and after that I want to finish our office/art room.

Watch A Year Decluttering Here:
Handmade Home
The last goal is to have a handmade home, well sort of. I want to implement more crafts and try out more recipes for dinner and snacks. Now that my oldest son is almost five I think he can start helping around the house and learning how to do everyday chores. My husband said when he was growing up he would make a dinner at least one night every week. It taught him how to shop and cook! I love this idea and I would like to get my kids involved with the cooking, cleaning, and money aspect of our home. I think five years old is a good age to start getting involved.

Crayford woman and lover guilty of murdering her ex-husband in Stratford
PUBLISHED: 11:25 10 January 2020 | UPDATED: 11:02 13 January 2020
Met Police
A woman and her lover are facing jail for the "brutal" murder of her ex-husband, who was stabbed to death in an alleyway.
The Old Bailey heard how Giedrius Juskauskas was found bleeding from his neck in Whalebone Lane, next to Stratford Park, and despite the best efforts of medics he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Giedrius had at least 35 separate stab wounds to his body, chest and neck, with evidence that the 42-year-old's attacker had used severe force.
The police investigation found that Giedrius had been in a physical relationship with his ex-wife, Asta Juskauskiene, despite divorcing in December 2018. The couple also had a young daughter together.
Juskauskiene, 35, had also started an online relationship with a younger man, 25-year-old Mantas Kvedaras, who flew over from Lithuania five days before Giedrius' murder to stay at Juskauskiene's home in Iron Mill Lane, Crayford.
Officers established that she had been in contact with both men in the hours leading up to the stabbing on June 17 last year, and had been key to orchestrating the fatal meeting.
You may also want to watch:
After repeatedly stabbing Giedrius, Kvedaras returned to Juskauskiene's home where he stayed until the couple were both arrested on June 19.
During that time, care worker Juskauskiene arranged for Kvedaras' personal documents to be removed from the house and deleted potentially incriminating text messages from her phone. Jurors were told she consistently lied during police interviews.
The pair were charged and Kvedaras pleaded guilty to murder at the Old Bailey in October.
Juskauskiene denied the charges against her but was found guilty of murder and of peverting the course of justice on Thursday, January 9.
Detective Chief Inspector Larry Smith said: "Both Juskauskiene and Kvedaras intended to cause serious harm to Giedrius, who will now never see his daughter grow up.
"The level of violence used in the attack was brutal and his last moments must have been painful and terrifying. It is a relief that Juskauskiene will now also serve time in prison for her part in the sinister plan.
"It is clear that both intended to kill or cause serious injury to Giedrius and both are equally responsible for his death."
Juskauskiene and Kvedaras will be sentenced at the Old Bailey on Friday, February 7.

Dec. 23, 2018 — The wrong time to get sick
The Christmas season is a time of being social, gift-giving, and, for Christianity around the world, a reminder of renewal through the nativity of the Son of God.
Only, for the first time since 1972, I'm lying in bed ill.
The circumstances of the last time I was ill during Christmas were most unforgettable. It was our first-grade Christmas pageant, and I played Santa Claus, and I was in charge of pressing a button on a very large box to release characters representing toys and other gifts.
My first-grade music teacher, Mrs. Vandiver, was panicking when she saw me in costume when I arrived. She looked at my face and knew what was wrong with me.
Chicken pox.
But I, and the show, had to go on. I was the only Santa who knew the lines. Heck, I was the only Santa. The teachers got out their pancake makeup and covered up some of the scarring that was becoming evident on my face.
I'm pretty sure this would never happen today because I would be a kid with a communicable disease acting in a play along with my peers. Plus, the teachers were all putting makeup on me to try to cover over the impending crisis.
Somehow we got through the play, and I guess the silver lining for getting sick was the fact that we had a couple of weeks off before returning to school after the New Year.
I still hope I didn't give anyone the shingles in later life because of my misfortune.

In the world of crypto, that is digital currency, Cameron and Tyler Winkleloss are among the movers and shakers.
Their journey from being ridiculed in the film "Social Network" to becoming early adopters of bitcoin is chronicled in the book "Bitcoin Billionaires" by Ben Mezrich.
Currently, their every decision is watched and analyzed for both business and technological implications. The interest isn't only in the category of cryptocurrency. It extends to the entire growing fintech sector.
So, the business media, including BusinessInsider, took note when the twins made an acquisition. Their fund Gemini Trust purchased Nifty Gateway. A side story on that, which members of the press seem to enjoy, is that is the acquisition also had been owned by twins - Duncan and Griffin Cock Foster.
The Nifty platform accepts payments through credit and debit cards instead of a complex crypto transaction - that is a crypto wallet. However, that is tracked on a blockchain ledger.
What is purchased is the Nifty or NFT. On the Nifty Gateway website, there is the explanatory statement:
"Nifty NFT is a digital good which is stored in a global blockchain instead of a local or centralized database - usually an in-game video game object."
The significance of nifties is this: They are different from other forms of crypto in that they are one of a kind. Therefore, they aren't interchangeable on the blockchain.
It is reported by Upcrypto.org that one motivation for this purchase is that the Winklevoss twins predict that all collectibles, both digital and real-world, will migrate to the blockchain in the form of nifties.
For the current time, Gemni Trust and Nifty Gateway will operate separately.

Independence Day India Speech
My dear friends,We were privileged a lot to have been born in free India. We were able to breathe the fresh free air since our birth. If at all we want to know the pangs of agony of being slaves under a foreign rule, we must ask our elders born before 1947. It was an indeed a Himalayan task for every Indian those days to fight against those powerful giants � the British rulers. We must not allow those hard times and struggles fade away from our memories.Hence it is befitting for us to celebrate such National festivals and recall those heroic deeds of our National heroes we should salute them. We remember them today as well.
Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we will redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very most substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment here comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance�. We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again.
I Hope you all have got the main points of the above Speech Forever and make sure you are satisfied because it's really important for us and our team!!

Ecological Agroforestry
Bringing prosperity to farmers through a mixed farming model based on natural farming ethics
Explain your project idea (2,000 characters)The proposed farming model is a unique multi-cropping integrated farming model which takes nature balances and farmers income to altogether a new level. This natural farming method is based on the idea of zero budget and self-sustenance. Once the complete model is cultivated according to the idea, the whole arrangement is such that there is no requirement of any chemical fertilizers or pest control mechanism, nature takes care of everything by itself. The farming model has two broader arrangements:- 1. Live fencing -The purpose of the fence is to protect the land from external hostilities and instabilities, which is caused due to human, animal, pest, wind and water intervention. Besides, providing protection to the land and the crop being grown within, the living fencing also helps in restoring the disturbed balance of the eco-system, not only of the agricultural land concerned but also of the surrounding environment. The produce of the living fence could be used for personnel, commercial and agricultural benefits. It is not necessary that the plants which have been specified under the model could only be used for fencing as a strict rule and could be replaced by alternative plants of like nature and characteristic, depending upon the plants which are locally available and could fulfill the said purpose. 2. The mixed farming model - In order to diversify the crops being cultivated by the farmers in a way that each crop compliments the growth of other resulting in better production, the model has been developed comprising different crops. The model is based on micro-management of farms with an integrated approach and a strong market linkage. Under the model a plot of land minimum half acre is converted into agro-forestry comprising fruits, vegetables and flower plants.
Who are the beneficiaries? (1,000 characters)The direct beneficiaries of the project are small and marginal farmers. The project explicitly targets the unemployed rural youths. As this intervention is about nature and afforestation, larger population around the intervention area will be benefited from a healthy environment indirectly.
How is your idea unique? (1,000 characters)The idea is unique with its approach towards re- building balance between nature, human and livelihoods. It's a holistic farming model. Mostly other farming intervention has one sided approach, for instance - promotion of organic farming. Such interventions facing struggles with profitability in this age of market led interventions overtime takes the way of profitability. Consequently, though organically but only such products are cultivated or promoted which has a chance of higher profits.
Idea Proposal Stage (choose one)
- Pilot: I have started to implement the idea as a whole with a first set of real users.
Tell us more about your organization/company (1 sentence and website URL)Khetee is a non profit agriculture based venture existing to bring solutions to the pressing problem of farmers through developing interventions integrating traditional knowledge and modern research. www.khetee.org
Expertise in sector
- 1-2 years
Organization Filing Status
- No, but we plan to register in the future.
In 3-4 sentences, tell us the inspiration or story that encouraged you to start this project.I returned as a student of law to my village thinking my degree could help solve problems, which I wanted to solve. But it turned out that the problems that are existing are beyond books to be solved. Having raised up in a farmers family and being engaged with the problems, I realized that the key to problem solving lies in fixing our agricultural sector. Everything else will follow.
Please explain how your selected topic areas are influenced, in the local context of your project (1,000 characters).I was born in the 90s in a joint family in a village called Durdih in Bihar, a state that is famous in India for all the wrong reasons. I remember my childhood days where I grew up ignorant of all these stereotypes I would have to bear later as someone who was born in Bihar. One out of every two person in Bihar has been categorized as 'Below Poverty Line', which means they have lesser means of meeting daily needs. 80 percent of the population lives in rural areas and farming is the main occupation. Conventional methods of farming and irrigation made farming non-profitable and often burdensome. The returns did not match the investment. Debt loans became a form as our culture that was deeply rooted within farming deteriorated. I realized that the key to problem solving lies in fixing our agricultural sector. Everything else will follow. The problems of illiteracy, unemployment, crime rates, and migration everything owes its root to non-productive work force within agriculture.
Please share some of the top strengths identified in the community which your project will serve (500 characters)Finding farm labour is a major challenge in the agriculture sector. However, there is no shortage of farm labour in the village where we operate. There are large number of youth who are seasonal migrants. These youths are welcoming such opportunity where they could get work in their village itself. Studying the market reveals majority of the vegetables our coming outside the district of Lakhisarai in the local mandis. A large chain of retailers buys vegetable for further sell from these mandis.
Geographic FocusThe idea is targeted on the Durdih village in the state of Bihar in the country India.
How many months are required for the project idea? (500 characters)It will take 12 months to implement the idea on field. The impact will be visible by the end first 12 months from the implementation itself.
Did you submit this idea to our 2017 BridgeBuilder Challenge? (Y/N)
- No

IDP welfare:
Hiran H. SENEWIRATNE
The condition of internal displaced persons (IDPs) in welfare centres
in the North has achieved tangible progress compared to his last visit
to Sri Lanka, Japanese special envoy Yasushi Akashi said adding that
resettlement of IDPs have to be made after demining activities are
Addressing the media yesterday, he said when he met President Mahinda
Rajapaksa last morning, he found that the President was very committed
to expedite the resettlement of IDPs in their original dwellings. The
most important matter is to ensure the security and safety of the people
due to the high number of landmines in the area, he said.
The main purpose of his visit was to observe the humanitarian aspects
of IDPs and to see how much progress the Government has made towards
arriving at a political solution.
Akashi commenting on the humanitarian situation in the North, said it
had made a tangible progress compared to his last visit to Sri Lanka,
but congestion in those centres is enormous due to the very large number
of IDPs.
The Japanese Government will continue to offer all assistance towards
peace-building including demining activities, rehabilitation and
reconstruction work in the North and other areas in Sri Lanka, he said.
The Japanese Government, Asian Development Bank and the World Bank have
pledged US $ one billion for development of those areas, he said.
The Government and Non Government Organisations are engaged in a
massive effort to improve the conditions of IDPs by providing sufficient
food, water, shelter and medicine.
But still it is not fully satisfactory, he said. Sanitation
facilities need to be improved to prevent health hazards in centres, he
He said he was happy to see medical facilities have been installed by
the Indian Government and their staff, taking all measures to treat IDPs
as most of these people were undernourished during few weeks of fighting
between the military forces and the LTTE.
He said that a full scale resettlement of refugees in their original
dwellings should be carried out after demining activities are completed
in the North which is a gigantic task.
He also said the Government of Sri Lanka must keep a close dialogue
with the international community as during last few months a lot of
misconceptions had taken place during heavy fighting prevailed between
the Government forces and the LTTE.
He said he was happy to note that President Rajapaksa was committing
himself to a political settlement and fully implementation of the 13th
amendment to the 1978 Constitution for the devolution of power to the
North and East.
Akashi was in island for a short period and visited North to witness
the condition of IDPs in welfare centres and met the President, Prime
Minister Ratnasiri Wickramanayake, Opposition Leader Ranil
Wickremesinghe, Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama and many Government
top officials.

I spent the morning printing the part two of the FBS material, in total 269 pages. Luckily, Yapeco has a very good printer that prints both sides, which is combined with a copier. This copy will the the original which Yapeco will use for printing the copies to the course participants. We have finally got hold of a print shop that can print the material to the same price as we got in Sweden. It is nice that the material can be produced here in Congo. Part two of the FBS course will start on May 5 and will hold on for eight or nine days.
Julienne and Bernt did complete the certificates in the morning, adding the names of the participants. We had 42 certificates to hand out later on during the day. Fourteen of the participants had been present all nine days and they got a little star on their certificat, for diligence. The participants paid 1,000 FC = slightly more than 1 U.S. dollars, for the certificate. No one questioned the fee. Moreover, many of they wanted to buy a compendium about entrepreneurship that we have used in previous courses. We asked for 500 FC per copy. This time, there has been a great curiosity about this type of material. We haven't experienced that before. Another remarkable thing is that we haven't heard one single comment on that it would be too expensive to participate. On average, there has been 33 participants per day.
For the last time we gathered at three o'clock to finish the course. We had only one lesson left to go through and it was all about selling. The power was gone at first, but came back just in time for Julienne to begin with the Power Point presentation. Théophile, a teacher and accomplished educator at the Baobab school led an exercise in how the win – win approach works. A number of participants had brought with them different commodities such as fruit, flipflops, toys etc. They had put the item in an opaque plastic bag and then they switched bags without knowing what was in the new bag. They were then supposed to evaluate the item in the bag, and they had to report if they felt win – win or win – lose. I wasn't convinced that the exercise completely clarified the win – win theory, but the participants enjoyed themselves royally. And parts of my doubts can definately be referred to linguistic confusion.
Before they went home, we had group photographs taken. And somewhat delayed, chilled soft drinks arrived. We offered them to the group to honor the day.
