Air dryers are essential to any air compressor system to keep water vapors out of the compressed air expelled by the machine. A refrigerated compressor dryer draws in the hot air from the compressor and cools it down, lowering the dewpoint and ultimately reducing the overall moisture level in the air.

Guest Blog from Ryan Kendrick (Dynamic Tape) — We were taught in our first year of university (nearly 30 years ago) that you say 'a person with a disability' and not a 'disabled person'. The terms are even better now but the point is that you put the person front and centre.
We need to assess and consider the entire person, their beliefs, values, goals, preferences, fears, family, social support, home situation (both physically and socially) as well as their pain, function, abilities, tissue damage or pathology etc. Engel proposed the Biopsychosocial Model in 1977 to do just this, to be anti-reductionist and to not compartmentalise. Sackett in 1996 when coining the term 'Evidence Based Medicine' reinforced this idea suggesting that the evidence from the literature needed to be factored in with patient values and preferences, expertise of the clinician (no good having evidence if you can't perform the test procedures or don't know when to do what) and situation specific factors.
It seems ironic to me that the more recent 'movement' to explode myths seems to be doing exactly what the BPS model was developed to avoid – compartmentalising. Instead of an holistic approach it is now seen by many as BIO or PSYCHO and SOCIAL. In my career I believe that the good clinicians have always been effective because they were good at evaluating the patient and communicating with them to enhance the therapeutic interaction or patient/therapist relationship. Providing a pathway forward that the patient was involved in developing, could understand and that reflected their goals and needs while explaining honestly and factually to the best of the current understanding whether this was someone with acute pain and mainly peripherally and nociceptive driven or someone with episodic, fluctuating or persistent pain +/- central sensitisation or a stronger influence from psychosocial factors. Focus was always on early movement and resumption of activity.
In this link (below) we see a systematic review showing low to moderate evidence of a small effect of pain neuroscience education. It is not the panacea that some make it out to be. We see similar levels of evidence with lots of interventions that are currently dismissed as belonging to the dinosaurs.
We certainly have a better understanding of some of the pain mechanisms now and our terminology continues to improve to reflect this but the good clinicians have essentially and possibly unwittingly always implemented these strategies as part of their overall management.
Some other pet hates –
Plain and simple. The two are not one and the same.
It is normal and usually fully reversible. When it does not resolve as it should is an issue.
…e.g. hip adduction with ACL injuries. Many people have these yellow flags and don't go on to chronicity and others have persistent pain without the psychosocial predictors just as some people have ACL injuries without high frontal plane knee angles.
…(with possibly associated inflammatory mediated or neurogenic pain) and peripheral input continues to be relevant in persistent pain (psychosocial factors may influence magnitude and likelihood of chronicity, and accounts for the variation between individuals with similar injuries at the outset but does not generally create the pain without precipitating peripheral input initially for the general musculoskeletal things that we see).
It could in fact be detrimental if you tell someone that fear can wind up their pain but you have not provided a strategy to reduce fear or worse still, your education is incongruent with their situation e.g. they do have ongoing tissue damage and nociception that you have failed to detect and you tell them that they are capable of doing these movements and it won't cause any further damage (I know this from personal experience as a child when a piano fell on my leg). Great way to increase anxiety and fear and wind up the pain system further.
This depends on the situation and relative influence (e.g. Smith et al, 2015) showed that removing the nociception via radio frequency neurotomy attenuates both physical and psychological factors associated with chronic whiplash. As effect of RFN wear off and nociception returns so to do the psychological issues.
In dismantling some 'old' myths (which is a good thing), the myth busters seem to be creating plenty of new myths which are possibly just as unhelpful. Possibly having a character limit or twitter doesn't help as people try to post something that will get attention but I have seen some long posts also which rather obnoxiously pull apart old beliefs but make many of the same mistakes or biases and perpetuate a new myth. But everyone wants to be part of a 'movement'.

Ryan Kendrick is an Australian Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist and the developer of Dynamic Tape. He earned his Bachelor of Physiotherapy degree from the University of Queensland, Australia in 1994 and a Masters in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy under the same world renowned guidance, which included Gwen Jull, Carolyn Richardson, Paul Hodges and Bill Vicenzino. Ryan has worked extensively in the area of Musculoskeletal & Sports Physiotherapy with roles including Personal Physiotherapist to former world number four, Greg Rusedski on the ATP Tennis Tour and British Davis Cup team, and Team Physiotherapist for Essex County Cricket Club in the United Kingdom. As a Private Practitioner he has been involved in the management of European Tour Golfers and Olympic and Commonwealth Games athletes in the disciplines of swimming, rowing, fencing, archery and triathlon to name a few.
Due to the strong biomechanical nature of the injuries in these sports and the limitations encountered with the available taping products, Ryan set about developing a product that would permit full range of movement but allow genuine mechanical assistance to alter movement patterns or to assist the role of injured tissues. The result is Dynamic Tape. Accompanying this is the Dynamic Taping Method, a novel approach to taping based on biomechanical principles and physiology of muscles, ligaments and connective tissue.
Ryan has also been a Clinical Tutor for the Musculoskeletal Component of the Griffith University Physiotherapy programme. He has had a number of television appearances in Australia including on the ABC Television programme 'The New Inventors' where his PosturePals product won the episode.

Many of us enjoy a day on the water, particularly in the good weather and the vast majority of us are paying customers who let competent professionals take the wheel, but what do you need to do if you want to step up and become a crew member or perhaps a skipper in the future? There are a number of RYA courses in Gosport and throughout the country that prepare potential sailors for a vocation (or job) that is on an entirely different level to sightseeing. Courses you can partake in include but are not limited to:
- RYA Start Yachting Course
- RYA Competent Crew Course
- RYA Day Skipper – Practical Course
- RYA Coastal Skipper Course
- RYA Yacht Master Prep Course
Of course, the courses above don't mean you can just complete a skipper's course without the necessary prior experience. Those will little or no experience of actually crewing a yacht will probably need to complete a beginner's course and gain sea hours before they can take the next step. Your RYA course provider will be able to provide you with advice about the right course based on your experience.
Where are these Courses Held?
As you'd expect, the vast majority of RYA courses are held beside the sea. If you search online, you should find a number of RYA training companies in coastal locations around the UK. Aside from becoming adept at crewing a sea going vessel you will also be grounded in onboard safety which is probably the most valuable element of all the courses available.

PDO Pancetta Piacentina is a PDO cured meat typical of Piacenza in Emilia Romagna region. It comes from the fattiest cut of the pork, called "pancettone", sprinkled with a mixture of salt and spices, rolled, tied and then left to dry in special rooms for 10-15 days. The curing period lasts up to 8-12 months depending on the weight.
It is a very versatile type of cured meats, used to enhance the flavour of many dishes. It can be served on a platter, simply sliced. To ensure a "melting effect" in the mouth, we suggest cutting very thin slices and serving at room temperature.
The weight of products as indicated on the label may slightly vary from the real weight of the delivery due to the small-scale artisanal production.
As the years go by, we continue to do our job respecting the traditions that we always have been accompanied by. Alessandro Grossetti - Owner
Salumi Grossetti: Piacenza-style cold cuts coming from the tradition. The company boasts a long family practise in the production of traditional cold cuts from Piacenza. The workshop was created in 1875, in Pianello Val Tidone, handing down from generation to generation the art of preparing cured meats.
After four generations, the workshop has now become a modern cured pork meat factory, equipped with advanced technological tools and procedures recognized at the Community level to ensure the highest standards in terms of food safety and healthiness.

Drug users nabbed by facial recognition system at beer festival – China's latest top news
Jeremy Goldkorn's selection of the top stories from China on September 1, 2017. Part of the daily SupChina newsletter, a convenient package of China's business, political, and cultural news delivered to your inbox for free. Subscribe here.
Business and convenience
- Face++, a Beijing-based facial recognition technology startup, is now valued at roughly a billion dollars.
- A park in Beijing has used facial recognition to identify toilet paper thieves in public toilets in a Beijing park.
- Ecommerce giant Alibaba has tested payments based on facial recognition in unmanned stores.
- Chinese airports are testing the use of facial recognition to replace airline boarding passes.
- Chinese railway stations are testing a similar system to replace train tickets.
- This week, fast food chain KFC launched a trial payment service using facial recognition.
You are being watched
While the idea of using your face to replace your wallet, ID card, smartphone, or train and air tickets is appealingly convenient, there is of course a dark side: China is taking its first steps to becoming the world's biggest panopticon.
- In June, the Wall Street Journal reported (paywall) that China has 170 million surveillance cameras in public places and is likely to install an additional 450 million cameras by 2020. These cameras are feeding data into facial recognition systems, which will allow the police to scan crowds for persons of interest, and in the Journal's words, harness facial recognition "as a cudgel to influence behavior."
- Sixth Tone says that police in the eastern coastal city of Qingdao used facial recognition technology to "identify and arrest 25 criminal suspects" during that city's annual beer festival.
Here's the rub: Sixth Tone reports that the Qingdao system "recognized people with histories of drug addiction, 19 of whom tested positive for drug use and were subsequently arrested." These 19 people had previously been in trouble with the law for drug use, but they were not found to be taking drugs or committing crimes. They just had the bad luck to be at the beer festival and get recognized as former offenders by the system. Then police forced them to undergo drug tests, almost certainly urine tests, and they were then arrested based on positive results.
Welcome to the future.
Xi Jinping and Peng Liyuan's 30th anniversary
- The South China Morning Post notes that "China's most powerful couple — President Xi Jinping 习近平 and well-known folk singer Peng Liyuan 彭丽媛 — marked their 30th wedding anniversary" on September 1.
- The SCMP says that "state media reports emphasize the couple's enduring love, running photos of them holding hands and stories about how much they care for each other." However, state media reports have not have noted that Peng is Xi's second wife.
- The China Daily reports on a "mystery post" on Chinese social media that "divulges details on the first couple." You can see the "mystery post" here — it's in Chinese but includes lots of photos.
- Xi Jinping has previously used unofficial social media accounts to spread propaganda, most famously when he queued up at a steamed bun restaurant to buy a simple meal for himself.
Allan Ho sentencing
On August 29, we noted that Allan Szuhsiung Ho 何則雄, a Taiwan-born, naturalized American citizen, was to be sentenced the following day in a U.S. District Court in Tennessee "for using China's money to buy information about American nuclear power generation the country was forbidden to have," although the facts of the case seemed murky enough that we questioned whether ethnic profiling might have played a role.
- We called the District Court in Tennessee where Ho was sentenced. The clerk told us that he received 24 months of imprisonment with credit for time served, followed by one year of supervised release, and a $20,000 fine.
- The BBC says that Ho "was prosecuted because he did not obtain explicit permission to share 'sensitive' nuclear technologies."
- In related news, Reuters reports that a U.S. court has jailed a "'bipolar' Chinese man who tried to export to mainland carbon fibre used in military drones."

Kim Kardashian has posted a nude photo of herself to promote her new KKW Body fragrance.
The reality star posted a photo to her Instagram on Monday to promote her new fragrance, in which she flaunted her famous hourglass figure.
The 37-year-old barely protected her modesty with her arms, strategically flashing her nipple.
The photo was posted to announce the restock of her Body fragrance, and already has nearly 2 million likes .
Kim frequently posts revealing photos of herself to her social media accounts, but her latest photo has faced a lot of backlash, with many trashing the reality star in the comments.
"Unfollowing this is getting crazy," one commented under the naked shot.
Another commented how her nude photos are getting "sad and pathetic" .
However, fans of Kim were quick to defend the mum of three, with one commenting, "Why does everyone care about the picture, it's advertising her body beauty line hey if she can pull it off more power to her."

The desire to give your aging loved one the best golden years possible could lead to the decision to place them in a residential care facility like a nursing home. If you simply don't have the time or personal resources to provide around-the-clock care to your loved one, relying on other people to provide that care can be a good solution for your family.
Watch out for financial abusers working in nursing homes
Video reveals abuse of patients by nursing home staff
Georgia families generally spend long hours researching facilities that offer elder care services. Usually, these efforts pay off with the discovery of a nursing home that can provide comprehensive and supportive care for an elderly or disabled relative. Occasionally, however, these efforts fail, and the loved one ends up in what might be termed an "abuse center" instead of a care center.
Using a lawyer to provide special needs planning
For many people in Georgia, the concept of a lawyer who is knowledgeable about assisting families with special needs children or adults may seem a bit far-fetched. Nevertheless, the modern complexity of federal and state benefit programs for special needs people sometimes demands the advice of an experienced attorney to sort through the myriad of details.
Resources for special needs caregivers and parents
Georgia provides a multitude of resources for people with special needs, both children and adults. But, what about caregivers and parents? Where can they turn when the energy for caregiving has been temporarily or even permanently exhausted? Fortunately, the needs of this vital group have not been overlooked. A number of resources can be found that are directed toward caregivers and parents of special needs children and adults.
Future planning for special needs families
All Georgia families with a special needs member, whether that person is a child or an adult, will benefit from careful planning for the person's future. Both state and federal government agencies provide significant assistance for special needs people, and parents and siblings can take steps to ensure that their family member is provided the necessary care and financial support.
All about Medicaid eligibility for Atlanta residents
When it comes to healthcare, there have been many changes in the past half-decade. What was once private insurance has become government-regulated and the effect on all people's healthcare has been enormous. Inherently, government-backed programs have been affected too. Medicaid eligibility thresholds determine who can apply and be approved for Medicaid benefits.

When the sun's out us Brits ram the car up with buckets, spades, the dog and family members and head to the beach. But as well as eating ice cream and playing the odd game of cricket or rounders take some moment out to take a few beach photos. It doesn't even have to be a gloriously sunny day for photography either as waves crashing against the sea wall force look just as good as a family snap on the front.
Gear Suggestions
You won't need a huge bag full of your want gear – you'll have enough to carry with all of the cool boxes and beach beach is a landform alongside a body of water which consists of loose particles gear anyway! Your interchangeable lens camera and a zoom lens are ripping or even a point-and-shoot camera will be enough if you're really lacking on space. Make space in your bag for a hotshoe flash for when the sun begins to set and if you're fretful about salt water or sand getting into your camera put it in waterproof housing or if you're using a point-and-shoot make it a waterproof one. Body a blower to gently remove grains of sand that will land on your lens and have a microfibre cloth ready to wipe away sea protract.
It's most likely that your number one subject at the beach will be your family but you don't always should prefer to to take shots of them grinning like Cheshire cats at you. Candids of them resting, playing in the sand, swimming or eating ice cream hand down work just as well, if not better than a posed, family portrait.
Make sure you pay attention to where the sun is. It may make use of well for the sun to be behind you but this will only make your subject squint. Instead, move your subject into the shade of a brolly or play a joke on the sun behind them and use flash to fill in the shadows. Also, if you can, avoid taking photos at midday as the light's harsh and causes long shields.
Keep away from distracting backgrounds and make sure you take a good look around the viewfinder in the future you take your shot as the odd bit of rubbish, which can spoil a shot, is easy to miss when you're surrounded by so many interesting things. Win sure your subject fills the frame to stop attention going elsewhere and even though it may sound a little clichéd, form shots of people do work well. Try using a telephoto lens to help you compose tightly and have your tripod to hand for those longer, disinteresting exposures.
Beach Shots may refer to: Shot (filmmaking), a part of a film between two cuts Shot (medicine), an injection Shot silk, a type of silk Showt or
As well as people shots try a sweeping shot of the sea and beach, stretching out for miles. Early morning or later in the evening after all the travellers have gone will give you an empty beach to work with. However, not everyone has kids who will get out of out of bed early so if the only shot you can catch is full of brollys and windbreakers in the afternoon do it. A busy beach, particularly if there's not even standing room left, will always get a grin or you could try to clone them all out if you prefer a more natural shot.
Sunset Scenes
Sunsets are, of course, a holiday snapshot chosen but as the sun's not setting until late on you may want to head off for some food then return to the beach later once your hunger's full.
If you do plan on photographing the sun as it sets DO NOT look at it through the camera lens and wait until it's very low in the sky and diffused by the haze caused by poisoning or clouds. If the sun's your main focus, have it slightly off centre to make your final image more compositionally pleasing and don't omit that having foreground as well as background interest works well in sunset shots.

Photo: Senator Richard Neufeld addresses City Council on Monday afternoon – Christine Rumleskie/Energeticcity.ca
By Christine Rumleskie
Senator Richard Neufeld is encouraging City Council to investigate all that Site-C has to offer.
Council has agreed to hire a contractor, whose job will be to seek funding on behalf of the City for three studies. The City wants to complete a Site-C Socio Economic study and a Site-C Legacy Trust study, as well as a report that will detail the future of the Fair Share Program.
Once the impact studies are completed, the City would likely seek funding to mitigate all the anticipated effects Site-C will have on the area.
Senator Neufeld caught wind of the idea, and attended Monday night's City Council meeting. He applauded council for being proactive, rather than reactive in mitigation efforts of the proposed Site-C development.
[asset|aid=2492|format=mp3player|formatter=asset_bonus|title=b23d1e0ef15c4888f5d12435c9318ae5-Neufeld site c 1_1_Pub.mp3]
Site-C is a proposed hydroelectricity dam, which would be located on the Peace River close to Fort St. John.
Mayor Bruce Lantz admits he has taken some heat from proposing the Socio-Economic study, as he has been rallying against the proposed dam for some time now.
[asset|aid=2493|format=mp3player|formatter=asset_bonus|title=b23d1e0ef15c4888f5d12435c9318ae5-Lantz – site c 1_1_Pub.mp3]
Up until January 2009, Neufeld was the B.C. Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum. He helped develop the five-stage timeline that B.C. Hydro is following in the proposed development.
The project is currently in its second stage, and is being reviewed by the Province. Senator Neufeld says he expects the Province will make a decision any day now, determining if the project will move into its third stage of development.
Neufeld says he hopes northeast B.C. will receive the maximum amount of benefits, should the project go forward.
[asset|aid=2494|format=mp3player|formatter=asset_bonus|title=b23d1e0ef15c4888f5d12435c9318ae5-Neufeld site c 2_1_Pub.mp3]
Councilor Lori Ackerman wanted a mid-March timeline for acquiring a consultant. That idea was defeated by other councilors on the board, who agreed that the process could take longer than anticipated.
A large group from the Peace Valley Environmental Association observed Neufeld's address to Council. The PVEA is a local group that is anti-Site-C. PVEA representatives declined to comment, until they hold a meeting to discuss the day's events.

Tiananmen: The People Versus The Party
The Art Theatre
126 W. Church Street
This screening is free and open to the public
A new PBS documentary directed by Ian MacMillan and written by MacMillan and Audrey Maurion. Produced by Christophe Nick and Ed Stobart.
On the night of June 4, 1989, Chinese troops entered Tiananmen Square in Beijing, violently crushing the largest pro-democracy demonstrations in the history of the Communist regime….
Unfolding with the drama of a political thriller, the film investigates how a peaceful student protest calling for liberty ended seven weeks later in carnage, documenting the many turning points when the violence could have been avoided but tragically was not. With never-before-seen Chinese television archival footage and exclusive interviews with key insiders — from protest leaders and students to politburo members — TIANANMEN: THE PEOPLE VERSUS THE PARTY reveals the scale of the 1989 protest, its aims, the military crackdown and the aftermath. [PBS press release]
This film is being screened in anticipation of a public lecture on September 19 by Wang Dan, one of the main student organizers of the Tiananmen Square Protests. More information about the public lecture can be found here.

Women's suffrage is currently valid in the vast majority of countries. The first in Europe to receive the right to elect and be elected in 1906 were women of Finland, who was then still part of the Russian Empire. In the rest of Russia, women received the opportunity to participate in the elections only in 1917.
Around the same time, in the wake of revolutionary transformations in Europe, women's suffrage was also introduced in most Central European states.
In the agrarian southeast of Europe, in countries with an authoritarian regime and powerful monarchist traditions, gender justice in the electoral system has triumphed after the Second World War. Switzerland and Liechtenstein were the last to equalize their women in suffrage.
Women's suffrage in Europe
In Germany, women have not participated in elections for centuries. The role of women in a patriarchal society (kinder, kyuhe – cuisine, kirche) was considered obvious and was not the subject of discussion. This state of affairs remained until global emancipation pushed the Germans to fight for their rights.
Even during the reign of the Kaiser in Germany, an active women's movement was formed, thanks to which Germany was at the forefront of European countries that equalized women with men in political rights. This happened after the defeat of the Kaiser empire in World War I, during the creation of the Weimar Republic.
Women's suffrage: Step to democracy
Immediately after the victory of the November Revolution on November 12, the new interim Social Democratic Government of Germany proclaimed equal suffrage for men and women and secured this legal innovation in the form of a law on November 30, 1918.
The evolution of women's suffrage in Germany from the beginning of the century to the present day is being reconstructed by a large-scale exhibition in the Frankfurt Historical Museum. The exhibition "Ladies choose! 100 years of women's suffrage" opens a program of anniversary events dedicated to the centenary of women's suffrage in Germany, which will be held throughout the remaining year and will continue in 2019. The exhibition was prepared with the assistance of the Archive of the German Women's Movement in Kassel. Exposition curator Dorothee Linnemann noted in an interview with DW: "We decided that women's suffrage is one of the most important steps towards the achievements of today's democracy."
Women's rights and fashion
How limited was the socio-political life of women in Europe, in the literal sense of the word, fashion shows. For many centuries, the Frankfurt exhibition reminds us, women were chained in suffocating corsets, which gave their figures outlines that were pleasant to the male eye. But already in 1910 there were short dresses for playing tennis.
But women had to compete for the right to enter sports arenas. Some popular sports for a long time remained exclusively male prerogative. In 1955, for example, the German Football Association (DFB) banned women's football because it "destroys the body and soul of a woman."
Almost 450 exhibits – not only from the German archives, but also from all over Europe – show in Frankfurt how the brave pioneers of the emancipation of universal suffrage achieved. The struggle for the right to choose and be elected became a spark, from which the flame of the women's movement ignited. The struggle was also for equal rights in choosing a profession, for the right of a woman in Germany to become a doctor, for the opportunity to obtain a degree.
The exhibition at the Frankfurt Historical Museum pays particular attention to the position of women at the beginning of the 20th century. At that time, a female movement with centers in Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, Leipzig, Bremen and Frankfurt was gaining strength throughout the German Reich. "Already at the time of Kaiser Germany, German society began to undergo radical changes," the curator explains. With the disappearance of corsets and dresses to the floor, social restrictions gradually disappeared: the shorter the skirts became, the more freedom of movement appeared for women.
Women's suffrage: Is equality achieved?
The struggle on the political front was more difficult. Politically engaged women maintained contacts with like-minded people throughout Europe and exchanged news of their successes. In 1912, conservative forces, however, founded the German Confederation Against Female Emancipation, an open challenge to the emancipation aspirations of women.
For the first time, German women took advantage of suffrage in the general parliamentary elections in 1919. But already in 1933, passive suffrage from the Germans was taken away by the National Socialists. Hitlerite Germany abolished almost all of the democratic innovations of the Weimar Republic and revived with the help of propaganda the patriarchal notions of the superiority of men. Women had to give birth to new soldiers – that was what was considered during the "Third Reich" their main purpose.
Gender equality in the electoral system was restored in Germany only in 1949. In West Germany, the classical distribution of roles has continued for a long time: men went to work, women did housework and raised children.

Are you out of control?
You ever feel like you have no self control?
You KNOW you shouldn't have another slice of pizza.
You KNOW you shouldn't stay up late because you have to get up in the morning.
You know you shouldn't tell your friends you're going to hang out because you really don't want too. But you do anyway.
Yeah well that's how I use to feel about my EX!
I knew I wasn't suppose to be texting him, let alone sleeping with him but I was and I KNEW better.
And all I could think about is the voice saying "if you know better, you'll do better" —
Because I knew he wasn't the one for me. I knew he would never change.
I knew he would never give me what I wanted/needed.
I knew he wasn't my soulmate because of the way he treated me. He would pop in and out of my life with bullshit excuses, constantly leaving me questioning where I stood and if he really cared.
Yet, I welcomed him back with open arms. (Pause: I made him beg a little but I still took his sorry ass back thinking this time would be different).
But nothing changed.
I never really expected them too.
My tears and sleepless nights became pointless because NOW I was hurting myself!
Because I knew better.
But the fear of being alone made me stay.
The fear of another failed relationship made me stay.
I feelings of unworthiness, grew stronger and stronger with every lie.
I kept thinking, if could just close off my feelings for him and still text/sext that wouldn't have to face the feelings of being alone and I could still start dating and attracting a new man.
But it never worked.
He would still PISS ME OFF!
I couldn't turn off my feelings.
(I had too much invested in this relationship working. And I know you are nodding your head right now because you agree. You've been there. Shit you might be there right now).
And when I mustered up the courage to leave - I just attracted another emotionally unavailable man who wanted to play games. But of course, things were great in the get to know you stage and I spent tons of time smiling but I would ignore the red flags and signs that SCREAM RUN GIRL, RUN!
I started to question if I would ever find a guy who would love me, respect me and want me as much as I want him.
But I wasn't ready to give up hope.
I couldn't keep preaching men ain't shit!
I had to figure out what was REALLY going on.
So I grabbed my Journey, light a candle and balled my eyes out. I told myself I needed to go deep so I did.
I got to the root of my problem.
Drum roll please....
And I know most women are aware of their issues with their father I knew it was deeper than him not being there.
—-> My Father breaking up with my Mom when I was a baby made me feel like it was a personal attack on me.
You see my parents have two other children together, so why was it that after I was born, things had to end.
Why did he leave?
Why didn't he make an effort to be there for me?
Why didn't he call?
Why wasn't he at my birthday parties?
What was more important??
The more words started to fill the page, the more I realized, the questions I had for my Father were questions I had once asked a lover.
Why didn't he call? What was more important? Why did you leave?
I began to realize my issues weren't with all men but JUST ONE!
My Father!
And from there, crying my eyes out - I began to heal.
I began to forgive.
I began to love my father.
Because I needed to have a different experience and I don't know why he left and I may never find out but I do know I AM WORTHY OF LOVE.
I am worthy of someone sticking around.
I am worthy of happiness.
And so are you!
But in order to get there, you have to stop running from your past.
You have to be willing to address what lead you to this moment reading this post, dating that person.
Where did it all begin?
From that place (that clarity) you will begin to heal!
Healing comes transformation!
And no longer attracting and dating emotionally unavoidable people.
If you're ready to experience NEXT LEVEL HEALING AND TRANSFORMATION- I have two spots open to work with me privately.
Slide in my DMs for more info.

MotoGP – Italian GP – Race
Today Mugello become a dream come true for a lot of people. The tifosi could enjoy a great race and could cheer not only their favorite rider. Their team also celebrated a new victory. Also Jorge Lorenzo finally could put his Lorenzo's Land flag wearing the red of Ducati, and also the championship standings become more compact after a mistake of Marc Marquez.
Valentino Rossi started on pole at the Italian Grand Prix, but Lorenzo, as we are used, made an awesome start and took the first position, followed by the italian rider of Yamaha and Petrucci, but Marquez overtook the rider of Pramac, who lost a lot of positions, continuing the race in 10th position.
As we saw two weeks ago in LeMans, we started to see riders crashing on track, having 6 riders crashing on the first two laps: Pedrosa, Nakagami, Miller, Redding, Abraham and Luthi, but the one that we didn't expect was Marc Marquez, who tried to save a crash after overtaking Valentino Rossi and trying to catch Lorenzo, but this time, he wasn't able to recover the right position and he crashed, losing all the positions, but he could return to the track last.
The first two positions were almost decided with Lorenzo and Dovizioso, but the battle for the podium become the main show with Valentino Rossi defending his 3rd position against Iannone, Rins and Petrucci. All of them were trying to take the podium, but only the experience of Rossi made him to take that position.
Jorge Lorenzo won the Italian Grand Prix with Andrea Dovizioso 2nd and Valentino Rossi 3rd. The top 10 was completed with Iannone, Rins, Crutchlow, Petrucci, Viñales, Bautista and Zarco.
The next round of the championship will be in two weeks in Barcelona for the Catalan Grand Prix. What will happen at the Circuit de Barcelona Catalunya? The answer really soon.

A British skier has recounted his dramatic rescue of his son, who was buried in deep snow near Chamonix, in a warning to other skiers to take care when straying off piste.
Gillon Campbell was skiing with his family at Le Tour, in the French Alps, in "beautiful" conditions last December. They decided to go along a gully between two pistes in the fresh powdery snow. Back on the piste, however, there was no sign of Campbell's eldest son, 11-year-old Fox, an experienced skier himself.
Campbell says he figured Fox was ahead with his wife, but when he got to her, he wasn't there. So, he went back up a ski-lift to retrace his route. Back in the gully, he says, he saw "the snow was different". He turned on his transceiver, and it showed him someone was in the snow, really close by.
"I just dug like everything in the world mattered to me," Campbell says in video released by La Chamoniarde, a local rescue agency. He uncovered his son's head about one-and-a-half meters under the snow.
"That was a really, really scary moment," Campbell recalls. "I've never been so scared … I won't forget the moment I got to hold him. He was so cold, but he was alive."
Campbell says he wanted to share his story because the dangerous situation happened so easily. "We were not far from the piste," he says.
La Chamoniarde said the incident showed skiers need to "beware of a false sense of security when skiing close to the piste."
"Skiing off-piste carries many risks including avalanches, icy or hard snow, rocky outcrops, cliffs and hole, none of which are signposted," La Chamoniarde said. "To ski off-piste, you need to know more than just how to ski! You must be aware of the dangers, that way you know how to avoid them," they said. Credit: La Chamoniarde via Storyful

This week's #MarkerMonday discusses John Joachim Zubly, first minister of Independent Presbyterian Church in Savannah, Georgia. Born Hans Joachim Zublin in Switzerland on August 17, 1724, John Joachim Zubly was educated in Switzerland then later became ordained in the German Reform Church in London in 1744. After his ordination, Zubly immigrated to South Carolina to join his father who had lived in the colony since 1736. In 1748, Zubly became the pastor at Wappetaw Independent Congregational Church in Wappetaw, South Carolina. Following the establishment of the Presbyterian Church of Savannah, later known as Independent Presbyterian Church, he accepted a position as the congregation's first pastor in 1760, a position he held until his death. In addition to sermons, Zubly also wrote several other theological works, including one of his best-known works, The Nature of Faith (1772).
An outspoken opponent to the British Parliament and the Stamp Act, Zubly wrote a series of pamphlets and published sermons which discussed the colonists' grievances toward Great Britain. Zubly also became known for his sermons that related revolutionary ideals to Scripture. In 1775, he was elected as one of Georgia's representatives to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia. Shortly after beginning his term in the Continental Congress, Zubly made his stance known that while he supported many of the patriot ideals, he did not support independence from Britain. Rather, Zubly wanted to "secure the rights of American colonists," while seeking reconciliation with Great Britain. By mid-November of the same year, Zubly had resigned from Congress and returned to Savannah, branded a traitor due to his opposition to independence. In 1776, the Council of Safety banished Zubly from Georgia, confiscated half his property, and destroyed his personal library. Zubly took refuge with loyalists in South Carolina, and did not return to Georgia until 1778 after the British captured Savannah, at which point he resumed his pastoral duties at Independent Presbyterian Church. Zubly died in July 1781, months before the British surrender at Yorktown. He is buried in Savannah's Colonial Park Cemetery.

Who else has a love/hate relationship with Target? You know, that problem where you go in needing a toothbrush and toothpaste and leave $300 later?? I seriously can't remember the last time I left Target without spending at least $100… When I tell Grayson we need to go to Target, I see a slight fear in his eye because he knows we'll be there at least an hour, NOT shopping for what we came for! He's such a trooper! HA! We're venturing out to Target in a few hours… I'll keep you posted on if I actually stayed on track and get my toothbrush and toothpaste…and snacks… and another button down… and what else can I think of that I need?!
Ok, so now that we all know that Target is the best/worst obsession of all time, they've been keeping a little secret from all of us… I guess it's not technically a secret but I've legit never seen them advertise this until I was watching Rachel Ray, of all shows, and someone mentioned it on there. Immediately, I Googled to see if this was true, and sure enough, IT IS!! You're dying to know, right?? And PLEASE tell me if this is something y'all have heard of before!
Target will trade in your gift cards that have existing balances on them for a Target gift card!
Hello, what?!
I can't even begin to tell you how many stupid gift cards I have that I have either forgotten about or just won't use because I can't shop for clothes right now or I would never shop at that store in the first place. Yes, this comes at a price, but honestly, I don't care!
There are plenty of websites that trade in your gift cards but you have to mail them in, wait for a check and then go cash that check. As often as we all shop at Target, this is more of a convenience thing. You literally walk into your store (check and make sure your store is participating) and you instantaneously get a Target gift card.
How does it work? I believe you take your card to either customer service or electronics and they will make you an offer up front based on the resale value of that specific gift card. For example, a $100 Forever 21 gift card can be traded in for an $85 Target gift card.
They do have a list of specific retailers that they will trade, so check this list and make sure the card you want to trade in is on there.
The one thing I love about this is that you can literally buy anything and everything from Target and I know my gift cards would never go to waste there. Yes, I'll waste the gift card funds on crap I don't need, but at least I can get everything I do need in there without feeling obligated to do unnecessary shopping at a store I wouldn't normally shop at.
If y'all try this out, let me know how it goes!!

Labiaplasty - By Dr. Greg Owens Cincinnati and Liberty Township, Ohio
Labiaplasty is a surgery to create a more appealing and functional labia. Primarily it is done on the small inner lips around the vagina (labia minora) but can be done on the large outer lips (labia majora), and the clitoral hood. Over the past decade, these surgeries have become more requested as women are taking charge of this aspect of their health and appearance.
Labia minora can be an issue if they are too large and protrude well beyond the majora. Large labia minora stick to clothing, cause discomfort with activities such as running, biking or horseback riding. They can make sitting uncomfortable or even certain clothing unpleasant to wear. They can cause problems with intimacy by getting caught and pulled with intercourse. Ladies can feel self-conscious and that they are not attractive due to the asymmetric or elongated labia minora. Enlarged labia minora can deflect the urine steam causing spraying and making hygiene more difficult. Enlarged or sagging Labia majora and the clitoral hood can also become issues. Sagging of tissues can make hygiene more difficult or cover the clitoris leading to a lack of stimulation.
The question arises as to why labia are the way they are. Labia minora can be asymmetric and or elongated as a part of natural development or become distorted with childbirth and aging. Weight loss, genetics or aging can lead to sagging of labia majora and clitoral hood as well.
Surgery to correct labia minora asymmetry or create a more functional and appealing labia can be done either by trimming redundant tissue or removing a wedge of tissue and tucking the remainder. The method used depends of the anatomy and the desired outcome. Labia majora and clitoral hood surgery entails incisions along the natural creases, removing the excess skin, and closing the incision so that it is hidden. Care must be taken in order to avoid exposing the clitoris too much which can result in unwanted and unpleasant stimulation.
Surgery can be accomplished in one to two hours depending on what is needed. These are done on an outpatient basis. Work and activities may be resumed in as little as two weeks, but varies with the extent of the surgery. Intercourse should usually be postponed until six weeks after surgery. With any of these surgeries, realistic expectations are essential to the process. A woman considering these surgeries must understand that while the surgery can certainly improve aspects of her life, it will not be a substitute for a wholesome sense of self. Additionally, women should consider postponing the surgery until childbearing is over.

Still Human
2018, Oliver Chan, Hong Kong, 115 min.
With Anthony Chau-Sang Wong, Crisel Consunji
Show Times
- Mon, May 13th 8:00pm
"Charms with winning performances."—Justin Lowe, Hollywood Reporter
"Strong local flavor makes this a real Hong Kong treat…Wong's presence is formidable."
—Fionnuala Halligan, Screen Daily
Reminiscent of the French hit INTOUCHABLES in theme, this comedy-drama following the evolving relationship of a curmudgeonly disabled construction worker with his newly-hired Filipina caregiver is both heartrending and uplifting in the best tradition of Hong Kong cinema. Wong, known for his long string of belligerent bad-boy roles in films including THE HEROIC TRIO and INFERNAL AFFAIRS, delivers an exceptionally nuanced performance as Leung: confined to a wheelchair, divorced, estranged from his family, and mad at the world. Twenty-something Evelyn (Consunji), fleeing an abusive marriage back home, becomes more than a drudge and scapegoat for Leung's frustration when an inadvertent confidence opens the door to her employer's interest and compassion. A rare friendship grows across class and language barriers, becoming the catalyst for a new way of life for them both. Presented in collaboration with Asian Pop-up Cinema. In Cantonese and English with English subtitles. DCP digital. (BS)
Director Oliver Chan and actor Crisel Consunji are scheduled to appear for audience discussion, moderated by Jenny Lee, Assistant Professor of Art History, Theory, and Criticism for the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Indeed, Big Sean's post on Instagram about his grandmother's incredible legacy and unconditional love, made it clear she's irreplaceable.

Big Sean & Ariana Grande: Their Relationship Is Getting Stronger

Cooke City-Silver Gate is a census-designated place (CDP) in Park County, Montana, it is located at the north east entrance to Yellowstone National Park and is a convenient stop when visiting the area. During the winter months highway 212 east bound is closed to traffic and Cooke City becomes a popular area for snowmobiles.
Get around[edit]
Cooke City is small enough that it can all be reached on foot and several trail heads into the surrounding wilderness start near town.
Cooke City is at the west end of the Beartooth Highway that has been called "the most beautiful drive in America," by late CBS correspondent Charles Kuralt. Because of heavy snowfall at the top, the pass is usually open each year only from mid May through mid October, weather conditions permitting. Located within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is one of the last remaining large, nearly intact ecosystems in the northern temperate zone of the Earth and serves as a small outpost when exploring the surrounding area.
Cooke City is at the center of many outdoor sports for every season. Backpacking, biking, kayaking, camping, cross country skiing, fishing, hiking, horseback riding,snowboarding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and wildlife viewing.
- Cooke City Exxon & Polaris Ski-Doo, PO Box 1128, ☏ +1 406 838-2244. being at the end of the road during the winters makes Cooke City an excellent place to launch off on a snowmobile adventure. Many trails for advanced and beginner riders means snowmobiling can be a thrilling experience or just a way to tour the area in the winter.
- Bearclaw Bakery, 309 E Main St, ☏ +1 406 838-2040. this busy Cooke City bakery is another great place to start the day with a tasty treat and some good coffee.
- 1 Log Cabin Cafe, 106 US Hwy 212 W, ☏ +1 (406) 838-2367, toll-free: +1-800-863-0807, ✉ firstname.lastname@example.com. May–Oct, daily 5:30AM–10PM. Rustic breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Trout, pancakes, burgers, steaks, salads. Locally owned and operated, known for their big portions. This is a great place to fuel up in the morning before heading into the park. The pumpkin cake is to die for. Vegetarian options available. Breakfast $10.
- Miners Saloon, PO Box 1142, ☏ +1 406 838-2214. rub elbows with the locals in this little bar that also serves a nice variety of food.
- Silvergate Cabins, 107 US Highway 212 W, Silver Gate, MT 59081, ☏ +1 406 838-2371. rustic cabins near everything that makes the area great. Great place for families.
- Chamber of Commerce, 231 W Main, ☏ +1 406 838-2495. Cooke City is large enough to have its own chamber of commerce and its worth checking in with them to see what new events are happening in town.
Stay safe[edit]
Though many of the animals in the park area are used to seeing humans, the wildlife is nonetheless wild and should not be fed or disturbed. Stay at least 100 m away from bears and 25 m from all other wild animals! No matter how docile they may look, bison, elk, moose, bears, and nearly all large animals can attack, and every year dozens of visitors are injured because they didn't keep a proper distance. These animals are large, wild, and potentially dangerous, so give them their space.
The weather can change rapidly and with little warning. A sunny, warm summer day can quickly become a cold, rainy or even snowy experience. Hypothermia can be a concern. Be prepared for a variety of weather conditions by bringing along appropriate clothing. Lightning can and does injure and kill people in the park area, so watch the sky and take shelter in a building if you hear thunder. Be aware of snow conditions before heading out in winter, check online at www.mtavalanche.com
Finally, with so many people visiting the park each year petty crimes are something to be vigilant against. Lock your car doors and exercise sensible precautions with valuables.

Over the decades, Tibetans, Afghans, Iranians, Somalia, Sri Lankans, Myanmarese and Bangladeshis have waded into India as political refugees of various kinds and compulsions.
There was a time, not so long ago, when a much less economically empowered India was talked about as a candidate for a permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council. The status of India being a "regional superpower" grew steadily to that of an "aspiring global power". What's more, apart from being the world's fastest-growing major economy, India is already a member of the G-20 group of the world's elite economies.
So, do you expect a country like India to deport and expel a mere seven Rohingya refugees from Myanmar back to where they came from? I should think not. Especially when other Rohingyas in India fear a threat to their lives.
Apart from seven being an insignificant number in a nation of 125 crore people that already has an estimated 40,000 Rohingyas, it is important for India to see itself as a large-hearted nation, though a no-nonsense one. I am beginning to wonder if we have a method in all this. We should, if we still have any aspiration left for the UN Security Council seat in mind.
Let us take a look around. When Soviet troops marched into Afghanistan in 1979, a huge bunch of those affected by communist forces and later by the Taliban's Islamist rule found their safe haven in India. A visit to Lajpat Nagar, in the heart of Delhi, would find many Afghan Muslims who have come to India for safety. An estimated 30,000 Afghan families live in India as refugees or their offspring. Some estimates put the overall number at 60,000. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees in India puts it at only 13,000, probably because it only lists the official "people of concern" who are listed at more than 200,000 -- about half of them Tibetans.
Over the decades, Tibetans, Afghans, Iranians, Somalia, Sri Lankans, Myanmarese and Bangladeshis have waded into India as political refugees of various kinds and compulsions. It is time to ask what has changed and what has not -- and what can be done. India has generally followed the principle of "non-refoulement' -- refusing to send refugees back to a place where they face a threat to their lives. But India is now turning against its own past as the Rohingya create a new diplomatic conundrum.
Though a narrative is being built to give the Rohingya refugees a colour similar to illegal immigrants in Assam, or another that sees them as a security threat in view of some Islamist connections, the fact is that there is a Buddhist majority in Myanmar which, supported by the Army, is giving hell to the Rohingya in the Rakhine province. I saw recently a documentary series on BBC World Service television by Simon Reeves that brought some chilling aspects of this crisis into focus. Across the Rakhine border, Bangladesh now has the world's largest refugee camp, that houses one million people!
India is understandably walking a wedge because, apart from the socio-economic fallouts of taking on a refugee burden, there are geopolitical concerns that China may get close to Myanmar's generals if India acts tough on Yangon. India signed an agreement last year to help development in the Rakhine state and pledged $25 million in aid. It is also a partner of the UN Security Council along with other neighbours. But the theme here is of a "safe, speedy and sustainable return of displaced persons."
The Ministry of External Affairs says the seven Rohingya currently in the news are willing to go back, but if that was truly so, why would there be such a fuss? Is New Delhi trying to impress the generals in Yangon?
What should India do? I would suggest India should engage more with the European Union that has its own refugee crisis to handle. Refugees from Africa, Syria and parts of troubled West Asia have crossed into Europe even as it struggles with the adverse fallouts of liberal multiculturalism in a right-wing backlash. Nearly 1.5 million migrants have come into Europe over the past four years or so.
China and US are in the middle of a trade war that is worsening historical frictions over human rights as well as a rivalry to dominate the world. Under President Donald Trump, Washington is more concerned about building walls to stop migrants -- be they from Mexico to the US or across the Sahara!
India and Europe have been having a wide-ranging dialogue that includes a three-year project on migration and mobility that focuses mainly on Indian migration to Europe. But there is a case to expand this into a global role in which India can engage in a wide-ranging dialogue as a thought leader and traditional humanitarian supporter of political refugees. That would be a truly strategic partnership that can help India raise its voice in the UN and hopefully become a permanent member of the Security Council.
Europe needs India as a key trading partner and also as a rising technology powerhouse rich in talent. Both have shared concerns over global security. India can be a Western ally without being seen too much in the company of an unpredictable Trump administration. (Trump recently called India the "Tariff King". Seriously!)
India has to balance its interests not just between Beijing and Yangon but also between various global groupings. The best course for India is to seek funds from Europe to help refugees, engage as a thought leader on migrant/refugee issues and seek creative new ways to buttress its image as a positive global power built over the decades as a founder of the Non-Aligned Movement and a respected figure in the UN General Assembly.
India should not squander away decades of painstakingly built diplomatic advantage.
