December 12, 2017 – Telling Time
I consider myself fortunate. Perhaps, I am the happiest person on the planet, and, the most fortunate. Rewards in life come in odd shaped packages. Though I strive for success in so many aspects of my life, it is the helping others experience success that brings me the most satisfaction.
I am honored to be the Nana Chris for two wonderful godchildren, Baer and Piper. Two days ago, I walked into the Spillane kitchen to encounter a situation of frustration. Baer needed to know how to tell time in multiple ways, using words, to pass a test being given the next day. The atmosphere was dark. Baer's dad was at the end of his wits. I arrived at the perfect time to change the energy in the room. I embraced the challenge with open arms. At one point, thirty years ago, my task as a substitute teacher was to teach an entire class of first graders (who couldn't even count by fives) how to tell time in order to pass the New Jersey State Exams within a week. Not everyone learns verbally. When children grow up in a world of digital clocks, even those who learn verbally are at a loss when it comes to telling time on a traditional clock with a long hand and a short handle traveling around in circles.
Out came the purple construction paper. Out came the scissors. Clip, Clip … cut the circle in half …. cut another circle into quarters. "What is your favorite pie, Baer? Ahh… cherry pie! Hmmmm. Do you have twenty nickels somewhere in the house?"
I received a call earlier this evening from Baer. He wanted to let me know he scored a 90 on his test! He now feels like a wizard when it comes to telling time. I asked him to draw a clock for me to share on this blog post. Just prior to his call, I had started this post with my father in mind. My father taught me to love worms, to draw in perspective, to recite the planets in order of their distance from the sun. He taught me to use tools, to garden, to tell stories, to mow the lawn in crazy patterns so that little people could run along the paths while the adult was taking care of the business of proper landscape maintenance.
My father suffered from dementia for the last fifteen years of his life. I shared those years with him on a weekly basis. When he could no longer find words to string together into poems of one sort or another, I taught him to draw contour-like drawings. The only object he was able to draw, late into his state of dementia, was a clock.

Why am I writing about telling time, Baer and my father? Because what drives me to draw everyday, to paint everyday, to try new tools and to experiment with new methods of expressing myself, is the satisfaction and joy that comes from sharing my knowledge and my experience with others so that they can taste that joy, the pleasure, the happiness of mastering a task, a tool, a concept and a skill that will move them forward toward their goals, whatever those goals might be.
Baer's Clock
Facilitating the experience of life in a joyous state is my goal in life. I do it best through art.

Intentional timeline collapses can be done by you so that you can maneuver/weather/jump with greater ease. When YOU COLLAPSE THE BELIEF/REALITY inside of you, the timeline collapses. It is that simple. Holding onto old realities cause StarGates to re-align without you and it's like being dragged through a portal that closes and leaves you in a REALity without what you were holding onto. Holding on, being drug along... this is the old human way. Recognizing, choosing, dealing, shifting, moving realities through the highest state of consciousness is how we jump from one timeline to the next. ↓↓↓
Lately we've been going through BEYOND HUGE physical body/physical reality collective clearings. These huge collective energies were held within the cellular memory of our physical bodies too. While they may not have dominated our physical reality, they did affect our physical body and the density that it held. These collective clearings are now allowing us to drop this physical density now too. For those who exist as QUANTUM BEINGS, our realities are much different than human realities are. We are not "fixed" to anything. We shift vibrationally, intentionally and the foundation of realities is different here. We feel the vibration of the reality, the foundation and we shift intentionally to one that is not going to collapse. It is that simple here.
Earth going Super Quantum and Galactic changed REALities forever. Thank goodness. We've waited for these vibrations FOR. EVER.
This process requires each pulling themselves up by the boostraps and grabbing realities from within. BEing SOURCE incarnate, BEing CREATOR is a whole new existence.
As each leaves the old MATRIX (held within the physical body structure), the body will start to tune, constantly, to a higher frequency and each will have to LEARN how to function all over again, in a whole new way....
UNITY BRINGS ALL TOGETHER.... SEPARATION CREATES SUFFERING (which clears out the energy for unification to occur). Out there or inside, they are the same. Out there is a reflection, it is your mirror to show you what you cannot/don't want to/were not willing to see. When you see it, you have choice. That choice dictates your entire reality and how all plays out for you.
As a Quantum BEing, we see a multitude of timelines simultaneously and these timelines are available to each... DEPENDENT ON WHAT EACH DOES/DOES NOT DO.....
Connecting UP to the CRYSTALLINE GRID of NEW EARTH has never been more important than now. What's important to you will become visible in your physical/emotional/mental life. Most have not idea that NEW EARTH EXISTENCE is a full-investment by all. If it's not important yet, it will be. Each one of us have to go through all of these processes to come fully online. We all have to complete these phases, we all have to deal with whatever it is, we all have to continually choose, we all have to implement all new everything to completely reconstruct realities from within. We all have to ... for when/where we do not, we disconnect ourselves from everything... ♥
Get ready for everything to shift.... in absolutely every way. Are you online, ready, embracing and fully on-board with Our NEW Earth Now? ♦ I love you. ♥

You are amazing, and I am starting to get your message in a whole new way. I recently found myself jumping timelines. I would express to my higher self my intentions such as clearing the chem trails from the sky. I would stand back and let my higher self work through me. I usually spend about 15 minutes doing this then the skys are clear. This last time I did it, about 15 birds were circling over head and a mini cloud remained in the appearance of a bird. During the 1st time I did it, the sky was filled with chem trails, the next time I did it there were only about 2 or 3 before clearing. I'm not sure why I needed to do this more than once? I assume it is about holding the time line... Thanks again for your words and videos of inspiration, they helped my find my own path which I continue to discover every day.

Information and Support
Everything we provide, share, and offer, is a way for each to choose consciously what each values as important and worth, in supporting and accelerating their own heart-opening experiences here, as well as further activating their own LightBody too. Each one of us does this differently, yet to understand that all is important and serves a much bigger picture/purpose, we start to understand that Energetic Exchange is a way to respect, reciprocate, gift and in-turn support the vastness of what we receive ENERGETICALLY and that all of these things are just tools and ways to activate, therefore it's not about a "thing" anymore.
All are here because they receive something, through the Light Encoded sharings and various ways to activate, elevate and expand by way of opening our Universal/Cosmic heart/ higher mind chambers and Gateways, often in seemingly unorthodox ways. By combining various activation tools and utilizing each for the purposes of stimulating and awakening pure beauty, kindness and a deep sacred connection from deep within, all of these "things" are just something that we each consciously choose to use. The value is not the value of a "thing", yet instead the value of what we decide is our reasonable exchange in order to receive heart-opening Soul activations, which is determined by how we utilize these "things". The value is determine by you, how you value and place worth on your your own Awakening Soul journey, and what tools you feel will most benefit and assist you with this. The value is the value you place upon yourself, your energy and what you choose to utilize to accelerate your own awakening journey and current (LightBody) phases you are in.
The tool itself doesn't matter. Your openness, your making a conscious choice and deciding what's important and how you desire to do this for yourself, as what "things" you feel will most benefit you in opening your heart. Your conscious choice is a very important part of the your own Awakening processes here.
Through our own higher states of love-consciousness, we take the focus off of the thing and we shift it to what we feel will most assist us with our current processes and phases. We shift the value off of the "thing" and onto our energy, our vibration, our LightBody, and what we feel will assist us with opening our hearts to/through more beauty, unity, kindness and love.
Our Entire Value System evolves, as we start to value ourselves and our Light/Energy, we start to value the energy, the work, the contributions of others too.
Here, each is supporting ENERGETICALLY the work, the programs, services, those working in Dedicated Service to create, share and provide the vastness of all that is offered to support, inspire, awaken, assist and consciously evolve.
Each is contributing to a much higher purpose, the Evolution of a much Higher Consciousness HUmanity. Your CONSCIOUS EXCHANGE becomes a part of this. ♥
In essence, what you are investing in, is your own SoulBody/LightBody and you are consciously choosing (free-will) activation tools to work with, in order to further assist you with the acceleration of this. You are exercising a conscious exchange of Love Energy (In form) in order to do this, which will in-turn assist with fulfilling higher purposes and Service to HUmanity roles here.

WATCH: Sharon and Gabby's bittersweet reunion commercial
maxItemsPerPage: 10
maxPaginationLinks: 10
Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, February 9) — Break-ups don't have to be bitter.
That's what iconic '80s love team Sharon Cuneta and Gabby Concepcion show in their recent collaboration, a fast-food advertisement released Friday.
Their chance encounter in a McDonald's outlet is framed as bittersweet — sweet for the former couple, but with a hint of nostalgia for their fans, who took to the Internet to express their kilig.
The advertisement shows Cuneta eating alone, when Concepcion asks if he can join her.
"Ikaw naman," says Cuneta, "Parang wala tayong pinagsamahan."
[Translation: It's not like we haven't been through anything together.]
The scene of the former couple sharing a dinner is set to the song "Kumusta Ka," originally performed by Nonoy Zuñiga, which contains the lyrics: "Kumusta ka? / May ibang kislap ang yong mata; / Halata na ang daigdig mo ngayon ay kay saya."
However, the commercial leaves out the lyrics about still being in love with the other person.
The caption, which included the hashtag #ShaGabLovesMcDo, read: "Noon pa man, love mo na sila. Your classic favorites na ang sarap balik-balikan!"
The fast-food chain compared the pairing to their bestselling combination of Chicken McDo and fries.
"The Chicken McDo with Fries Meal is one of our best-sellers and has truly become a favorite of our customers over the years. In the same way, ShaGab is one of the most-loved tambalans all time, truly transcending generations," shared Christina Lao, McDonald's marketing director.
McDonald's first teased the advertisement on Instagram with a post that read "Dear Heart, Kita kits! P.S. I love you" -- referencing two films by the iconic love team.
Related: Sharon Cuneta, Gabby Concepcion to reunite for commercial
Cuneta and Concepcion were married in the 1980s, but this was annulled in 1993.
The couple has a daughter, Kristina Cassandra "KC" Concepcion.
KC even teased the two, posting a screen cap of her father following Cuneta on Instagram. She wrote, "Well played, fam. #NeverInMyWildestDreams" in her caption.
Cuneta's husband, Senator Kiko Pangilinan, expressed support for her project with her former husband. He added, "It's her craft... and she's a professional."
Speaking to CNN Philippines' The Source in November, Cuneta previously dismissed the idea of collaborating with Concepcion on a film.
"If a movie's just gonna give me stress from other people, not necessarily from someone I'm working with, but people who create intrigue and just stress me out, I would rather just do another one," Cuneta said.

Regardless of the number of stars, hotel rooms are never totally suitable for babies and toddlers who like to explore their new environment. As parents, you must be careful to reduce the risks to which they may be exposed.
Why do you have to secure the hotel room?
While it is perfectly natural to take all the necessary precautions to protect your baby at home, it is a reflex that is not always necessary when traveling. Yet the dangers are many and sometimes a simple gesture of common sense is enough to eliminate them. Some of the most common risks include:
- Hot spots: fireplaces, radiators or hot water in the bathroom.
- The furniture: the sharp angles of the furniture where your baby can bang the head, or the high furniture (like the king size bed) from where the child will have difficulty going down alone.
- The wires: the cords and electrical outlets that baby can pull or the wires of the blinds that hang at its height.
- Microbes: garbage cans, remote controls or other objects that are real germ reservoirs.

What to pack to secure your room?
Securing a hotel room cannot be improvised. You can carry with you various objects that are often useful or that may be missing on site. These include:
- A cradle or an umbrella bed whose corners must be rounded or protected by foam.
- Tape or caches
- From rags
- Anti-pinch devices such as door locks or closing dampers
- Storage bags
How to secure your hotel room?
- Cut short attempts to escape: As the baby tends to travel the room, it should limit its movements by installing it in its cradle or its cot. In this way, he will not have access to the balcony.
- Corner Hunting: You can protect furniture corners by scoring rags to reduce the risk of injury.
- Raising All: All dangerous items must be stored in storage bags out of reach of your young child. It is important to pay particular attention to the phone, the alarm clock, the coffee machine, the pens etc … It is the same for the trash of the toilet and the bathroom.
- No wires in sight: Try to eliminate all the wires your child could see and therefore pull. As for television, check its stability by trying to pull the cord. If you are out of the room, unplug the cord from each unit and wrap it up, making sure it is high enough. Tie the wires of the blinds or curtains and put them out of reach of your child.
- Bright idea: To cut baby's urge to put your fingers in the socket, install covers on electrical outlets, or failing that, protect them with tape.
- Exit the slamming doors: Lock the doors and windows and make sure your baby can not lock himself into a room by accident. All you need is a draft and a slamming door for your baby to pinch his fingers. To prevent this, install a door lock. You can do the same with drawers and cabinets by installing closing dampers.
- Sunscreen does not taste good: Avoid leaving your toiletries or toiletries in the bathroom, better lock them in the closet provided for this purpose.
Final Touch
The young child is particularly vulnerable when traveling because he is curious by nature and the hotel room is a new space for him to explore. You must, therefore, put yourself in its place and ensure that it is as little as possible exposed to a potential risk.
However, despite all these precautions, zero risk does not exist. This is why the purchase of a travel insurance is recommended to provide you with better coverage in the event of an accident during your stay.
Apart from these practical tips, you may have discovered other tips for securing the hotel room. Do you have any other suggestions? Did this advice help you?

Tonight I leave for home. I've been in Israel for just over two weeks, leading a group from the Coon Rapids Evangelical Free Church of Minnesota. The pastor of the Church is a dear friend, Ronn Johnson, and it's been a delight to be with him and about 27 of the folks from his church. They have worked hard and I believe they have learned much. It's been hot, but that has not stopped this intrepid band of pilgrims from doing what is necessary to learn this land, to more effectively equip themselves to know the narrative of the Scripture, and thus to know and cherish the God who has revealed Himself in that narrative. It's been a really good trip.
But it is always good to head for home.
I am planning to lead three study trips to Israel next spring, and before those trips I will be with the Master's College Chorale for their quadrennial pilgrimage to the Land. There are those who have expressed interest in joining one of the study trips that God has graced me to arrange and lead, and so I thought it wise to make the information concerning those trips available at www.bookmanministries.com.
Click the tab entitled "Israel Trips," and the information for each of the trips is accessible under the appropriate date. At this point some of the details are still being worked out – most notably the air arrangements and the final price. (The airline industry will not issue a quote until 11 months before the return date of trip.) But it is good to start planning for a trip of this sort as early as possible. So if you and/or yours are interested, please take a look at the appropriate Fact Sheet and let me know what questions you might have.

Lettings Market Activity Slowed in February, Reports Agency ExpressEm Morley - March 22, 2018
Following a buoyant start to the year, the latest Property Activity Index from Agency Express has revealed a slowdown in lettings market activity during February.
Nationally, the number of new property listings in the lettings market dropped by 17.4% on a monthly basis, while the amount of properties let fell by 0.8%.
Looking back at the index's historical records, a greater level of lettings market activity was seen for both new listings and lets in previous years.
The number of properties let declined for the first time in four years in February, while the drop in supply was the largest fall for the month since Agency Express' first records.
Observing performance across the UK, six of the 12 regions included in the Property Activity Index recorded growth in the number of properties let, but none saw increases in the amount of new listings.
February's top performer was the East Midlands, which experienced a record best monthly rise in the number of properties let, at 27.4%.
Other regional hotspots included:
Properties let:
- Scotland: +30.4%
- London: +16.4%
- South East: +10.1%
- Wales: +4.5%
Regions to record the smallest declines in property listings were:
Property listings:
- East Midlands: -1.5%
- London: -6.5%
- Scotland: -7.9%
- West Midlands: -9.0%
The largest overall decreases in February's lettings market activity were made in the North East. New listings dropped by 25.7%, while the number of properties let was down by 16.2%.
Again, looking back at the index's historical data, we can see that the drop in activity in this region has resulted in its largest month-on-month decline for February since records began.
Stephen Watson, the Managing Director of Agency Express, comments on the newest findings: "The Property Activity Index traditionally reports a slowdown in new listings throughout February for many regions, and it has done so since our first records in 2012. However, this year, we have seen larger month-on-month declines across the board. As we move into March, we anticipate and bounce in activity, so it will be interesting to see if the figures pick up to their usual pace."

I love exploring. I love to find out the hidden meaning of certain places, their history, their stories. I just can't get enough of it. Though I have not traveled much, for now, I am sure I would do so. To travel to my dream place, explore the unexplored, wander around the streets, eat under the roofs, take sun baths, dance with strangers. I have always wondered how it would be to live a different lifestyle as in, in a different culture.
I just don't want to travel to a place and see the famous views or glance at its elegance rather I would stay there as a part of that place and completely get lost in it as if I belong there. I want to connect to the people there, make new friends. I would rather go grocery shopping than collecting souvenirs everywhere. I don't want to be just a traveler but someone who feels like home there. Though I would like to stay in motels just to get that passenger feeling and compare to my own country's and miss it.
I would go to the beaches and stay there all night long hearing the sounds of the waves, to the fields to get some sunshine, to the clubs to meet strangers. There are many places on my bucket list, the streets of Vienna, the waters of Bengal, the crowds of Times Square not because they are famous but because they are unseen and are not appreciated. Also, it would be good to have some time alone to explore as there will be no crowd.
I would taste the country food, adopt the attire, watch their shows, meet families. So my ideal travel plan includes not only a few days trips and adding a new place to my passport but living the fullest of that place and carrying a lot of memories.

Organize Your Whiteboards with Folders
One of the great things about working at CoachAccountable is that we each have built-in coaching at our jobs. To that end we've each got a client account under the other's coach account (meaning John is a client of Morgan, and Morgan is a client of John). As you might imagine, that comes with a lot of material; specifically, we've got roughly billions of Whiteboards for collaboration (company culture, easy-access links to our reviews on Capterra and Google, etc.). That means I often need to search for a particular Whiteboard.
When Shorombo Mooij, a life and health coach from Holland, suggested folders for Whiteboards, I heartily agreed and added the task to our weekly Morgan's the Boss session. Thanks to John's quick work, Whiteboard folders now exist!
Here's how to use them.

You have invested money in your Indian Virgin hair Extensions and you want to care for it so that you can get your money's worth from it! The hair has to be well taken care of because as you know it is not growing from your head so it is not getting the oils and nutrients from your scalp. Read our article about caring for your hair extensions here.
I have Indian Virgin Hair that has served me well over two years and it is all because I got virgin hair in the first place and then I made an effort to care for my virgin hair! In this article we have presented a list of the best products for virgin hair. All the products listed here are basically inexpensive and can be bought on Amazon.
My hair care routine includes the following
Deep Conditioning
I will now examine each one so that you will get a better understanding of what you should look for and how the particular product will help you and how to choose the best products for virgin hair.
Best Products for Virgin Hair – Shampoos!
You will need to wash your hair extensions regularly and I am vouching for once per week. Remember, product build up on your hair extensions can result in them looking dull and weighed down so you have to wash as regularly as possible. You want to use Sulfate free Shampoos. Sulfate is a harsh chemical that will dry out your hair extensions leaving them brittle and tangled. Brush before bed and before washing to ensure there are no natural occurring tangles caused by wind or friction
To shampoo your hair, you will want to follow the following steps:
1.Do not brush wet hair as that is when hair follicles are at their most vulnerable.
2.Use an Organic and sulfate free shampoo. Sulfate strips hair of natural oils, as there is no direct supply of nutrients from your scalp into the extension strands, its vital that you use a no sulfate shampoo to avoid your hair becoming dry and brittle. Sulphate free shampoos might not be so easy to find.
The following are my sulfate free recommendations. As I said before all products listed here can be bought on Amazon and are relatively inexpensive:
OGX Nourishing Organ Oil Shampoo
OGX Nurishing Coconut Milk Shampoo
If you have any problems at all finding them, you can use a moisture based shampoo which although contains sulphate will add moisture to your virgin extensions
Tresemme Luxurious Moisture Shampoo
Suave Essentials Shampoo Tropical Coconut
To avoid damaging the hair extensions, the cuticles and your scalp, only wash with warm water.
Wash the hair gently in a downward motion with your palms, do not scrub or bunch the hair together as this will cause open cuticles to rub against each other causing friction.
Rinse between each wash, and wash only 1-2 times.
While the hair is wet, add 2-3 drops of natural oil such as Argan or Coconut by gently applying it evenly over the hair, these oils will penetrate the cuticles and add moisture to hair extensions
Finally, lower the shower head and rinse your hair (not scalp) with cold water, this is known as an Arctic Rinse it will close the cuticles to lock the moisture and nutrients from the oil in, leaving you with nutrient rich hair extensions.
Let your hair air-dry at home, take 2-3 hours to wash and naturally dry your hair – Do not use heat as this will swell and dry your strands.
Apply a small amount of Argan, or Coconut oil 2-3 times a week or when required. Argan oil is a great finishing oil for styling and frizz, however it is a dry oil and does not moisturise the hair. I like Coconut oil for this.
For long lasting hair extensions, moisturise your hair as you do your skin, it makes perfect sense.
This video will show you how you will wash your virgin hair extensions. Although I am promoting Indian virgin hair, this routine applies to any virgin hair.
Best Products for Virgin Hair – Conditioners!
Like the sulfate based shampoos, stay away from sulfate based conditioners. This will not be difficult since shampoos always come with matching conditioners
I am recommending the following Conditioners:
OGX Renewing Organ Oil Conditioner
OGX Nourishing Coconut Milk Conditioner
Carol's Daughter Nourishing Conditioner
Tresemme Luxurious Moisture Conditioner
Pantene Pro-V Daily Moisture Renewal Conditioner
Deep conditioning your Indian Virgin Hair Extensions
If you want your virgin extensions to last and last you will want to deep condition them pretty often. Deep conditioning treatment infuses your virgin hair with moisture to penetrate hair cuticles. It is best if you deep condition your extensions at least once or twice monthly to prevent tangling and shedding which will be the result if the hair is dry. Deep conditioning will make your hair and extensions become very soft and silky.
For natural and relaxed hair, conditioning is necessary. A deep conditioning treatment not only penetrates your scalp but also releases natural hair growth vitamins. It is recommended to do a deep conditioning treatment after taking down an install or braids.
How to deep condition your Virgin Hair extensions
I will now outline two ways to deep condition your virgin hair extensions. The first method shows how to do it when the extensions are not on your head. We will call that method 1. The second method will relate how it is done when you are actually wearing them – Method 2.
Method 1 (Microwave method)
- place a considerable amount of conditioner onto the hair extensions.
- You may use the matching conditioners to the shampoos listed head
- Rub the conditioner through it. Comb through the extensions, starting from the bottom up.
- Place the hair extensions in a freezer bag. After sealing the bag, put it in the microwave for 2 – 2½ minutes.3
- You must allow your hair to cool down after being in the microwave, so please wait a few moments for the cooling process.
- Before rinsing out the conditioner, thoroughly comb through the extensions again.
- Wash out the conditioner until the water becomes clear. No suds should still form.
- You may allow the hair extensions to be air-dried, blow-dried, or you may install them while wet. It is up to your discretion.
Method 2 (Virgin Extensions on your head)
- Wash your hair with water and conditioner and then apply shampoo, preventing any tangling and matting under water.
- Apply an ample amount of deep conditioner on your hair and comb through again.
- Cover head with a processing cap.
- Sit under a hair dryer for 30 minutes.
- Allow the hair to cool
- Wash out conditioner and treatment.
- Style as desired.
Best Products for Virgin Hair – Deep Conditioners

Trading is a feature of the mod that allows you to buy and sell items with traders, using silver coins as a universal currency. Each type of trader buys and sells different items/units, and certain conditions dependent on the trader must be met in order to trade with them - for example, to trade with Hobbit bartenders, your alignment with Hobbits must not be below 0.
Item TradersEdit
The items a trader sells or buys and even the prices can vary strongly from trader to trader so it is advised to look around and see if you can find another trader with better prices.
As of Public Beta 24, a trader will only sell or buy a limited number of any one item before the trade becomes temporarily locked. This is to prevent the unrealistic occurrence of players repeatedly selling enormous amounts of an item to the point that the trader would not actually use it. Because of this cooldown, note it is best to sell as much of an item as you can fit in the trader's inventory at once. For example if you are selling several stacks of salt to a Hobbit bartender, instead of selling it one stack at a time, which will lock the trade before you are done, sell it all at once (provided that it fits in the sell offers area). The trade will still become locked but not before you have sold all you needed to sell. In Update 36 a visual indicator was added to display how close a trade is to becoming locked, in the form of a dark background behind the icon that progresses horizontally as the item is traded more.
Please note, that as of Update 34, after a certain amount of wealth traded, the trader even changes their complete set of available goods for both selling and buying. If this happens, all the new trades are unavailable for a short time. So, be aware, that you'll lose your favourite trader sooner or later and search for a replacement in time.
Upon earning 1,000 coins from a single trade, the player earns the achievement "Filthy Rich" and the title "Filthy Rich."
To trade, right-click the trader and the trading screen will be displayed. In the trading screen you'll also see how many coins you've got in your inventory, via the number on the right-hand side.
Notably, traders may sometimes be found with a certain odd characteristic. Once in a myriad, players might come across a certain trader who takes on many disguises and tries to sell the player items at outrageous prices, one hundred times the market price. All of his selling trades are of normal price, however, giving the impression that he is out to scam players. His name is always the same, making it easy to identify him when he spawns.
The items in the top of the screen represent the items the trader has to offer you, in exchange for the price specified underneath. These prices may vary between different traders. To buy an item, simply click and drag it into your inventory, assuming you have the right amount of coins to buy it. Note that in the case of item stacks containing multiple items for sale, the price shown is that for the entire stack. (For example: with the trader shown above, five coins would buy all eight pieces of pipeweed.)
Traders generally have quite a few items in stock, so you can buy more of the same item immediately following your first purchase. You can even shift-click the item to buy as much of it as possible using the coins you have, or until the trader doesn't have any more of that item left in stock. Be careful you don't overspend when doing this!
The lower nine slots in the trading inventory are for selling items to the trader and are empty by default. You can try placing various items here to see if they interest the trader, and if so, the price they offer for each item will be displayed below the slot. You can even shift-click a stack of items, which automatically jump into a trader's slot, if they are interrested in them.
This price below the slot will be multiplied by the size of the stack you offer for sale, and the full amount of coins available for selling everything in your slots is displayed next to the sell button. Pressing this button will convert all the items to coins and add the coins to your inventory (if your inventory is filled, the remaining coins will be dropped as items on the ground).
You had to find out which items the trader would buy from you by hovering your mouse over the '?' button on the screen, but as of Public Beta 30, all items are shown without any need to hover over buttons.
Note that the items you offer are still yours until you press the sell button, so you can take them out of the slots if you change your mind.
Coin ExchangeEditPublic Beta 22, all item traders are able to exchange coins. There are coins with the value of 1, 10 and 100 in the mod. Select "Exchange Coins" from the traders menu. Put the coins you want to exchange in the middle slot. Since Public Beta 29 you first have to click on the left or right arrow of the GUI in order to get your coins changed. You can now grab the exchanged coins from the left or right slot. The change remains in the middle slot.
In the example, there are 24 coins (10) in the middle slot, worth 240. You can
- Take 2 coins (100) out of the right slot, leaving 4 coins (10) in the middle (2*100 + 4*10 = 240)
- Take 24 coins (10) out of the middle slot, cancelling the exchange (24*10 = 240)
- Take 60 coins (1) out of the left slot, leaving 18 coins (10) in the middle (60*1 + 18*10 = 240)
Note: You cannot change more than one full stack at once.
Note: When you buy something and have no small coins, the money will be changed automatically as necessary.
As of Public Beta 33, the blacksmiths among the item traders not only buy and sell stuff, they also are able to repair and rework your gear for money. Refer to the blacksmith page for more details.
Unit TradersEdit
Unit traders, which are also called "captains", are described on their own category page. The next paragraph about slaying also applies to them.
Slaying tradersEdit
As with all NPC's in the mod, traders can be slain, and give a decent amount of alignment when killed by a player. If a trader should be killed for any reason - e.g. by hostile NPCs or by an accident - a floating coin appears, and the trader respawns after a while. For more details consult this page. This does not apply for travelling ones.

The authorities of EKO Electricity Distribution Company Plc (EKEDCP) on Thursday threatened that it would soon commence the publication of the names of energy theft customers within its network.
Speaking in Lagos, the DISCO Chief Executive Officer, Mr Oladele Amoda, revealed that the company was losing over 30 per cent revenue to energy theft monthly.
He bemoaned in shock that those culpable of the offence were educated customers, as they constituted the bulk of energy thieves within its network.

According to him, most of the energy theft customers caught stealing energy without paying were elites living in enlightened areas of our operations.
Amoda stated that he expected them to understand the essence of paying for electricity consumed, but instead, they engaged in stealing electricity.
Consequently, he threatened that the firm would 'start publishing the names of energy theft customers within our operations in the dailies.'
He said: "We are going to start publishing the names of energy theft customers within our operations in the dailies.
"Most customers caught engaging in energy theft live in lkoyi, Lekki, Victoria Island and most high brow areas."
He said that activities of the energy thieves and vandalism within its network cost the company over N1 billion monthly.
"In order to monitor our network effectively for fault detection, clearance and track energy theft, the company has awarded contract to automate the network.
"We have introduced specialist software to be used for the supervisory control and data acquisition of customers and faults.
"This is an industrial automation control system at the core of many modern industries to track defaulters and clear technical issues within the network," he said.

Long story short: we went way too long without having a food processor. Thanks to Amazon Prime, J ordered one Friday and we got to experience its amazingness Sunday morning. The first thing we wanted to make? HUMMUS! We had a crap-ton of oranges and beans laying around, so it was only right that we combined the two. After a little experimentation, we definitely think we're on to something with the citrus hummus thing… Oh and L ordered a food processor for herself immediately upon finishing this dip. It's safe to say we're addicted. (Makes about 12-15 oz)
14oz (1 can) cannellini white kidney beans
2½ tbsp tahini
½ tbsp coconut oil
1½ tbsp fresh basil
1½ tbsp fresh mint
¼ tsp cardamom
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt
juice of 1 mandarin orange
Drain and rinse beans. Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Eat!
We garnished ours with orange bell pepper, fresh basil and mint, a teensy bit of coconut oil, and paprika! Enjoy with pretzels, pita chips, bell peppers, or blueberries (weird, but J loved it).

Yesterday was the six month "anniversary" of my boss committing suicide. I wrote about this heartbreak in December. You can read that post here: http://lolorashel.blogspot.com/2015/12/out-of-darkness.html
The funny thing about tragedy is that the world doesn't wait for you to get better. So you have to heal on the fly. I feel like I have learned a lot about myself during this process. Tomorrow is not guaranteed, so I am scheduling those adventures today. I am meeting new people and enjoying my life. My life is about half over. I don't want to feel like a single day has been wasted. It is sad to say that my boss dying really kind of kicked me into gear and made me start thinking about what I want out of life. And I want this. All of it. I want to be a great aunt and friend. A thoughtful lover. A hard-working employee. I want to pole dance and walk on the beach. I want to be out in nature and enjoy the sun on my face. I want to do yoga and go hiking. I want to travel. I want to eat good food. I may even want to climb Half Dome again (and I swore once was enough). I want to inspire people to love themselves and not wait to go on those adventures. For those of you who struggle with this, you will understand...life does not start five pounds from now.
Today I signed up to lead a team for the Out of the Darkness Walk in October. If you would like to donate or join my team, please visit my fundraising page: http://afsp.donordrive.com/participant/LoriMyers
I appreciate all of the stories that have been shared with my privately. If you would like to share anything publicly, please feel free to comment below!
This blog blossomed in 2010 to chronicle my adventures in pole dance after weight loss surgery. Join me on my journey toward enlightenment. The size of my body doesn't dictate my worth. I believe living a life full of gratitude and joy helps lead to a true mind, body and spirit connection. You have the power to manifest your best life!

text: Task Type and Prompt Effect on Test Performance: A Focus on IELTS Academic Writing Tasks Alireza Ahmadi Shiraz University author Shaban Mansoordehghan Islamic Azad University of Hashtgerd author text article 2015 eng Recent versions of international high-stakes tests like TOEFL and IELTS have made use of integrated tasks in addition to the traditional independent tasks in a claim to provide a more realistic estimation of the test takers' language abilities. The present study aimed to investigate how test takers' performance may differ on such tasks. As such, the test takers' performance was compared on IELTS Academic Writing Tasks 1 and 2. Whereas Task 1 is an integrated task which calls for graphic interpretation and description, Task 2 is an independent task of writing an argumentative essay. Furthermore, the study also aimed to investigate the effect of writing prompts on the test takers' performance on such tasks. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design in the form of posttest-only group. Fifty six Iranian EFL learners at Shiraz University were selected based on their availability. After receiving instruction in a semester on how to do the two tasks, they received 4 writing tasks (2 versions of each task with different prompts). The data collected were analyzed through two-way repeated-measures ANOVA. The results indicated that task type did not have a significant effect on the test takers' writing performance; that is, there were no significant differences between the participants' performance on the independent and integrated writing tasks. Furthermore, the effect of prompts was only found to be significant on the participants' performance on task 2 (independent task). The findings provide evidence for higher consistency of scores obtained from different versions of the integrated task. Journal of Teaching Language Skills Shiraz University 2008-8191 33 v. 3 no. 2015 1 20 http://jtls.shirazu.ac.ir/article_2897_9db9617005747df2d670d6384612657c.pdf dx.doi.org/10.22099/jtls.2015.2897 Iranian Non-native English Speaking Teachers' Rating Criteria Regarding the Speech Act of Compliment: An Investigation of Teachers' Variables Minoo Alemi Assistant Professor, Islamic Azad University, Tehran-west Branch, Humanities Faculty author Zohreh Eslami Rasekh Texas A & M University author Atefeh Rezanejad Allameh Tabataba'i University author text article 2015 eng Among topics in the field of pragmatics, some seem to be in a more rigorous need of investigation. Pragmatic assessment and specifically the issue of pragmatic rating are among issues which deserve more thorough consideration. The purpose of this study was to examine rater criteria and its consistency and variability in the assessment of Iranian EFL learners' production of compliments based on the teachers' gender and teaching experience of the Iranian non-native English speaking raters (INNESRs). The data for this study were collected through WDCTs rating questionnaire from sixty Iranian EFL teachers and were later analyzed through descriptive statistics, t-tests and Chi-squares. The results of the study showed that Iranian EFL teachers consider seven macro criteria when rating EFL learners' pragmatic productions regarding the speech act of compliment. The criteria include "politeness"(26.37%), "interlocutors' characteristics and relationships" (22.83%), "variety and range" (19.68%), "sociopragmatic appropriateness" (14.17%), "sincerity" (10.23%), "complexity" (9.84%), and "linguistic appropriacy" (8.66%). The results of the t-test and chi-squares further showed that whereas there was no significant difference in the teachers' ratings based on their gender and teaching experience, the difference was significant in the frequency of rating criteria provided by the raters. To conclude, the results of the study reinforces the need for rater training regarding the assessment of pragmatic productions based on pragmalinguistic and sociopragmatic norms.

To make a relevant contribution to the awareness about applied linguistics texts and discourse, this study attempted to develop lists of lexical chunks frequently used in the abstracts of applied linguistics journals. The abstracts from all the issues of 30 applied linguistics journals which were published before August 1, 2013 were collected. These abstracts which generated a corpus of 2,750,000 words were submitted to the program AntConc for chunk extraction. The long list of chunks in the output was shortlisted based on frequency and inclusiveness of shorter chunks. These were classified into textual and content n-grams. The article also presents the frequent chunks which serve as starting points in bringing up different aspects of research reports. The practical value of the results is briefly discussed at the end of the article. Journal of Teaching Language Skills Shiraz University 2008-8191 33 v. 3 no. 2015 51 61 http://jtls.shirazu.ac.ir/article_2480_876602648c1250bdc554d7934cfc7649.pdf dx.doi.org/10.22099/jtls.2015.2480 Collaborative L2 Interactivity in Diverse ZPD-Based Proximal Contexts and Interactional Competence Development Ali Akbar Jafarpour Shahrekord University, Iran author Azizullah Mirzaei Shahrekord University author Fatemeh Zahra Ehsani Shahrekord University, Iran author text article 2015 eng Central to Vygotsky-inspired sociocultural theory (SCT) is the notion of ZPD seen by SLA researchers as a useful framework within which L2 teaching and learning can take place. Van Lier (2004) argues that the ZPD could be activated in diverse proximal contexts (PCs) and is not limited to the expert-novice scenario. . This study probed whether Iranian EFL learners' collaborative task performance within different ZPD-based PCs results in their development of interactional competence (IC). Young's (2011) IC model was used for developing an IC test (ICT) employed at the pretest and posttest times. Three intact EFL listening-speaking classes at a university at southwest of Iran were randomly assigned to the expert-novice, equal-peers, and control (non-ZPD) conditions. The co-constructed interactions of the groups in (a)symmetrical ZPD-based conditions were audio-recorded for further analysis of participants' L2 IC development. A triangulation (quantitative and microgenetic) data-analysis approach was adopted. The results showed that whereas both ZPD groups (equal-peers and expert-novice) outperformed the non-ZPD group on IC posttests, no statistically significant difference was found between participants' IC development in symmetrical and asymmetrical PCs. Further, microgenetic analysis of the ZPD groups' interactions demonstrated how participation and activity in different PCs can effectively trigger awareness of mechanisms and norms of L2 spoken interaction and, in turn, result in IC development. The findings point to the applicability of diverse ZPD-adjusted PCs, composed of equal or unequal participants, in EFL classrooms and also the efficacy of ZPD-based interactive scenarios for students' development of L2 IC.

This situation has created a healthy debate among the Iranian EFL community as well. The aim of this study was to explore the perspectives of the Iranian EFL domain experts about postmethod pedagogy. In so doing, the Delphi technique was adopted to reach 'expert' consensus. The participants of this study were 21 domain experts in the field of applied linguistics in Iran. The Delphi technique was a remarkably quick means of achieving a consensus on postmethod pedagogy for participants. Three waves of data collection were employed in the three rounds of Delphi with the same sample. The findings of this study raised much doubt and uncertainty about both method and post method pedagogy. It was revealed that the Iranian language education has never experienced method in its actual meaning, what it is known as the method has been an eclectic approach any teacher has adhered to simply based on his/her personal taste. Moreover, the findings of the Delphi technique indicated that postmethod pedagogy with its three principles is not applicable in the Iranian context. Finally, the theoretical and practical implications of this study are discussed.

Additionally, it investigated the contribution of EFL teachers' EI to students' motivational factors. To these ends, 30 EFL teachers were selected through convenience sampling from language institutes in Najaf-Abad, and were asked to complete Bar-On's Emotional Quotient Inventory. Then, Gardner's Attitude/Motivation Test Battery was administered to 221 randomly selected EFL students from the teachers' English courses in the language institutes. The results of bivariate correlation and multiple regression analyses revealed that there was a statistically significant and positive relationship between the teachers' EI and their students' motivational attributes. Moreover, Adaptability, Interpersonal, and General Mood, three competencies of teachers' EI, were found to have higher correlations with the students' motivational attributes. But the unique contributions of the above three EI subdomains as well as Intrapersonal and Stress Management subdomains to the motivational factors were not statistically significant. In general, the teachers' EI made a moderate contribution to the students' motivation.

Two groups of Persian EFL learners varying in language proficiency were tested on their ability to produce the nine plain vowels of American English. Vowel production accuracy was assessed by means of acoustic measurements. Ladefoged and Maddison's (1996) F1 F2 measurements for American English vowel space were used as reference values to be compared with the measurements obtained from the production of Persian EFL learners. The acoustic measurements revealed that learners were not able to control acoustic parameters of vowel quality, even for the more similar vowels in the two languages, in a native-like manner due to interference from their native vowel system. Spectral accuracy measures also did not progress toward more native-like values in the productions of the more proficient learners. Interestingly, the positions achieved for the more dissimilar vowels were neither close to their closest L1 counterparts nor close to their native categories. Interpreting this latter result within the Perceptual Assimilation Model proposed by Best (1994), it could be stated that learners established new phonetic categories for the vowel contrasts that were not used in their native phonological system.

MRM Meteorite has unveiled a new management structure to succeed co-founders Hugh Bishop and Debbie Smith, who are taking on consultancy roles at the agency after reaching the end of their earn-outs.
Chief strategy officer Chris Whitson and managing director Olly Foot will become joint chief executives, and report to chairman and chief creative officer Nicky Bullard to form a management "threesome".
Whitson will remain chief strategy officer, while Foot will take the additional role of chief commercial officer.
Bishop and Smith founded Meteorite in 1999 in Putney. Before launching the agency, Bishop had held senior marketing positions at Levi's and Burton Group, while Smith was the managing director of WPP's integrated agency PCG.
MRM Meteorite was formed in 2011 when the duo sold the business to McCann Worldgroup and it was merged with McCann Relationship Marketing. Both Bishop and Smith took the two most senior roles in the new entity, triggering the exit of MRM boss Mike Cornwell.
The first stage of the succession strategy emerged in January when Bullard was lured from Lida, effectively replacing ECD Dan Douglass on the creative side, and Bishop as chairman. Douglass had been at the agency 8 years.
Foot had rejoined MRM Meteorite in 2012 after two years at Carlson, having previously spent eight years at the agency.
Meanwhile Whitson was signed in 2015 after an 18-month spell at WPP's Team News. Prior to that he had been at VCCP Me, the agency he had co-founded with Ben Stephens and Neil Francis, as Stephens Francis Whitson in 2005.
It was recently revealed that the agency heads this year's DMA Awards shortlist, having been nominated for Tommee Tippee, Vauxhall, Direct Line and Xbox Survival Billboard (pictured), which won two golds and a silver for sister agency McCann London in Cannes.

This section is from the book "Human Sexuality", by J. Richardson Parke. Also available from Amazon: Human Sexuality.
Newspapers, magazines and various publications of a quasi-scientific character, literally teem with discussionsfor the most part foolishly or illogically foundedas to " why men do not marry," the causes of unhappy unions, and the probable ultimate development of the ever-growing divorce evil. Indeed, with the present hypothetical character of the wedding contract, the perils which involve it, and the comparative rarity with which it is either entered into, or lasts, for a lifetime, it would seem that a return to the primitive method of the Sagno negroes, as described by Merolla da Sorrento, would be strictly in order, in America at least. "Women have experience of their husbands before marrying them, and in like manner men of their wives; and in this particular I can aver that the women are commonly much more obstinate or fickle than the men, for I have known many instances in which the men were willing to be married, while the women held back, and either Red away or made excuses."1
The last clause of the quotation is less applicable to my present purpose than the first. What I mean to convey is that Mr. Meredith's scheme of ten-year marriages is, after all, nothing new; and that as a remedy for the "divorce disease " it might not be unworthy of a trial. Lobo tells us that, in Abyssinia, " marriage was usually entered upon for a term of years;"3 and we are informed by Waitz3 that many of the negro peoples marry either "on trial" or for a fixed time. The Aleuts used to exchange their wives for food and clothes, just as the modern lady exchanges her husband for notoriety and alimony. The system is the same, only the modern lady, being a more valuable asset, naturally brings the higher price. I shall, however, defer consideration of this theme until we come to the duration of marriage among ancient and modern peoples, and continue my investigation of the physical causes which underlie the sexual union.
