Our baby Guy is six months old. Where did the past six months go? It feels like a blur of newborn snuggling, kissing, loving, crying, sleepless nights, milestones, diapers, more diapers, more snuggling, complete infatuation, love, endless smiles, and exhaustion. And what do I have to show for it? A beautiful, yummy, sweet, smiley, cooing six-month old. I guess that's a pretty good deal. We feel so blessed to have Guy in our little family. I am completely obsessed with him. I smother him in kisses whenever I get the chance. I just love this stage. He smiles whenever I look at him. I remember when Cash used to do that. It melts my heart. Casey calls Guy the silent laugher. When he smiles, his whole face lights up and it looks like he is miming a laugh. We only get a few giggles out of him, but his smile is the best thing in the whole world and he gifts us with it all day long.
All Mom's probably feel this way, but I could stare at my babies all day long. Whenever I change Guy's diaper he looks up at me and starts cooing and grabs my face to bring it closer. It's like the best thing ever. I always wondered if a second baby would get as much attention as our firstborn did. The answer is yes. I feel like I understand how fast it goes now, so I soak up all his babyness as often as I can. All I have to do is look at Cash and it instantly makes me want to snuggle Guy closer. Cash doesn't want me holding him close unless he's super tired or sick. And once upon a time he was my baby. Luckily I have my little baby Guy to hold close and I'm not letting go. I asked my Mom one time why she had so many kids. (I'm the youngest of 11.) She responded, "As soon as my babies grew up, I would miss having one, so I had another. I love babies." I totally understand how she felt. My love affair with my babies starts from day one. The newborn stage comes with a lot of changes, healing, and exhaustion, but holding a perfect tiny baby on your chest while they sleep is the closest thing to heaven that I can imagine. Then when they start sleeping more at night, staying awake during the day, recognizing you, smiling at you, and reaching for you, it's bliss. When my little baby smiles at me just because I'm his Mother, it feels like everything I always thought Motherhood would be.
So I guess all it takes for me to forget the past is six months. Remember how I have bad pregnancies and I always say that every pregnancy is my last? Well just today Casey said to me (like he always does), "Good job Mom. You sure do make cute babies. Let's have another one." And for once, I replied, "Okay. Let's do it." Here I am. Completely in love with my husband and two boys. So happy that I can hardly stand myself. And I'm ready to do it all over again so that I can expand our little family that I love so much. Gone are the terrible memories of nausea, back pain, labor pain, labor issues (and all that implies), healing from birth, breast infections, etc. All that remains is joy and love for this perfect little angel that makes me feel complete. How could I not do this again? It is more than worth all of the pain. I'm not saying we are going to start trying to get pregnant any time soon. I'm just saying that my mind is now open to the idea. I'm with my Mom on this one. As soon as my little baby isn't my little baby anymore, I guess I'll have to start over with another one.
Back to Guy. Here are some things he is doing at six months.
- scooting
- goes up on all fours and rocks
- sitting up with a little help
- eats rice cereal, pear sauce, apple sauce, and bananas
- puts his own binky in (one of my favorite milestones!)
- sleeping through the night from 7pm to 7am (a little blessing to Mom and Dad)
- smiling smiling smiling
- cooing (and it's just the most adorable thing I've ever heard)
- torturing his brother whenever he can get his hands on him (The other day I made Cash a sandwich and put it on his mat on the floor for him to eat. I put Guy in the bumbo on the floor farther away so he wouldn't bug Cash while I ran downstairs to the kitchen. Within a few minutes Cash started screaming, "No, no, MINE, Nooooo!" I ran back upstairs and Guy had flopped himself out of the bumbo and scooted his away across the floor to Cash's plate. He had one half of Cash's sandwich in his grasp and he was gnawing on it as fast as he could while Cash ran to the corner to scream and escape his wrath. What a bully. I told Cash to calm down and just move his plate away next time Guy comes after him, but I'm not sure he could pay attention. He kept eyeing that sneaky Guy. I was just mostly impressed with how quickly Guy made it all happen.)
Our baby Guy is growing up and our little Cash is getting so big. Casey always says the next thing we know, they'll be going on their missions. Realistically, I know that day is far away and when it's close I'll probably be shouting for joy. But right now it makes me heartsick for the day I'll have to say goodbye to them. For now, I'll just keep changing their diapers and appreciating these special times I have with them. I feel so blessed to know that I'll always be their Mother.
|Happy 6th Month Guy Smiley!

Layla turns 7
My daughter is 7 today! We had a great day, 5 little girlfriends off to the movies this morning. Then back to our place for cake and tea. We kept it simple and it worked like a charm - no hyped up anything, it was smooth, gentle and relaxed. Some of the party decorations came from a gorgeous little Golden Book I found about a month ago. Its a story about a little girl called Molly who is having a party, but its billed as a Party Cut- Out book and it has invitations, place cards, decorations and games to cut out and use - I am so grateful that whoever had it before me did not cut anything out!. I though you might like a little place card download, if you click on the images (front and back) it should give you a decent print size.

Over the times, countless cults have formed in the world of Stein. Some are led by powerful entities that have offered up their lives to obtain the right to wield legendary weapons and garments, slaying liches and dragons. This scripture shall spread the knowledge about the path to divinity among us unholy peasants, and show us who we must pray to.
The Cult of Minotaur Dragons is a cult that was formed following the death of the now beaten dragon Glynphyra. It consists mainly of minotaur dragons, a race created by warriors bathing in the blood of the dragon Glynphyra and donning a mask made of its flesh. They show similarities to the Cult of Brave, Naked Twats. Some of their members have been sighted in cities trying to gain new members by …

Some of you readers might remember the recent grass trade war that took place on the stein.world Discord. For those of you that don't, this article intends to provide an explanation of the grass trade and the grass trade war. Happy reading!
The grass trade started when the player Kevinna started buying grass. Exciting, I know. Similar phenomenons had popped up previously, with the player TheBlackList buying wrong steins
in hope of getting the right one by fluke. A while after, Kevinna started buying grass in large amounts for memeunknown reasons. Kevinna held this monopoly for a considerable while, until one day, the player HANNAA started buying grass as well after complaining about Kevinna's "50 ea shitty price". This exchange sparked the f…

Rob Gronkowski made news Thursday when, during an appearance on CBS News, he casually mentioned that he "probably had like 20 concussions in my life," he "probably had like 20 concussions in my life," including five that caused him to black out.
The former Patriots tight end made more news Friday when he tweeted a follow-up on the discussion.
Chris Nowinski, CEO of Concussion Legacy Foundation and co-founder of Boston University's CTE Center, responded to Gronkowski saying he believes "any injury that you receive is fixable" by pointing out on Twitter that currently CTE cannot be fixed.
Gronkowski apparently disagrees.
"It is fixable," Gronkowski said in a tweet. "I fixed mine. There are plenty of methods in this world that allow the brain to recover from severe damage. That is also why I would allow my kid to play football."
Gronkowski partnered with CBDMedic in August to promote CBD as a recovery product and to advocate for the NFL and other leagues to allow players to use it, though it's unclear if that's what he was referring to as one of the "plenty of methods ... that allow the brain to recover from severe damage."
Nowinski responded shortly after Gronkowski's tweet, saying that while Gronkowski is right about brain plasticity (the brain's ability to change and adapt), there is still no fix or cure for neurodegenerative diseases like CTE and Alzheimer's. In fact, to date CTE can only be definitevly diagnosed after death, although progress has been made toward finding a way to diagnose it in living people.
Gronkowski later tweeted that he was not suggesting he was cured, but rather that his conditions improved through various methods.
It will still be interesting to see if Gronkowski does indeed follow-up on Nowinski's offer.

MIKE Cortez's patience paid off on Sunday as he made a remarkable return from injury to lead Blackwater to a 115-103 victory over GlobalPort in the PBA Commissioner's Cup.
The Elite star point guard had been out with flu and a minor knee injury and had a chance to return last Wednesday against San Miguel Beer, but decided to delay his return for one game.
And the extra week's rest proved enough for Cortez to deliver against the Batang Pier, tallying 22 points, seven assists, and four boards in 33 minutes.
"I could've played against San Miguel, but I decided to hold myself out, and get myself right. And it paid dividends," the 35-year-old playmaker said.
[See Cortez, Rhett deliver the goods as Blackwater beats GlobalPort for first time]
Blackwater coach Leo Isaac gave his veteran ward as much time as he needed to rest.
"As much as we can preserve Mike, it will be a lot better for Blackwater," Isaac said, underlining how valuable Cortez is to the sophomore squad.
"Sa ngayon, wala pang point guard that can match up with the intelligence of Mike Cortez for Blackwater," he said. "Hindi pa kami nakakapag-develop."
The wait was worth it as Cortez spearheaded the Elite in their first win over the Batang Pier in franchise history, attacking when needed and passing the ball when necessary.
"There were a lot of gaps in their defense, so I think everyone wanted to do something all together, instead of just waiting for their turn," Cortez said.

Stifel nets $125M team in latest recruiting sweep
Stifel recruited a team overseeing $125 million in client assets from Baird, according to a spokesman.
Jon Garberg and Rebecca Hellman joined Stifel's Seattle office.
John Pierce, director of recruiting for Stifel, said in a statement that the firm has been pushing to expand its footprint on the West Coast, citing the efforts of Western Region Director John Lee.
Garberg is an industry veteran. He started his career at E.F. Hutton in 1987, according to FINRA BrokerCheck records. He later worked at firms such as Morgan Stanley and Piper Jaffray before joining McAdams Wright Ragen in 2009. That firm was acquired by Baird in 2014.
Like Garberg, Hellman is also an industry veteran. She began her career at Puget Sound Securities in 1993. She too joined McAdams Wright Ragen in 2009 after working at UBS.
A spokeswoman for Baird was not immediately available for comment on the departures.
Stifel has been on a recruiting push, picking up wirehouse and regional teams. Among the St. Louis-based firm's most recent hires is a former Wells Fargo team that managed $350 million in client assets. Advisers Kent Ray, Jeff Siefert, and Greg Seiler joined Stifel in Portage, Michigan, the company says.

Making sure your place is safe and secure is definitely the job of every homeowner. Improving home security is not necessarily expensive or time-consuming. Using the tips mentioned below will help you begin.
A good security system has many more features than sounding the alarm during a break-in. Most systems can be set to sound an alert when anyone enters the home. This is a valuable safety feature for parents of small children since they know if their child has exited the home.
Buy a small home safe that you can use to keep your valuables in. Doing so can protect your valuables in the event of a robbery. Be sure to put your safe in an out of the way place like the basement, attic or under the floorboards.
Buy fire resistant roofing, flooring and ceiling materials. These materials will protect your home from both internal fires and the spread of fires that start on other properties. Preventing a fire hazard is one of the safest precautions that you can take due to the level of destruction that it can cause.
Do not tell anyone that you are going on vacation out of your friend circle. While it is exciting to go to a new place and have a good time, you are letting thieves know that your house will be empty and they can come right in.
Don't let strangers enter your home. Be wary of those who come to your door selling products, asking for help, or telling sob stories. These people might want to actually do you harm or could be casing out your house for a future break-in.
Walls are a good place to hide things. You can hide small, valuable items inside the walls of your home. Just use an unwired electric plug, light switch or phone box. Installing a false unused plate is very easy to do if your home doesn't have one.
Criminals often pick houses where they can see the valuables inside. Open curtains allow people to see inside your home and see exactly what you have. If your windows are facing the street, make sure you cover them and protect your valuables.
Look for an alarm system that does more than protect your doors. Your windows should also be protected because burglars can also break into them. The alarm and monitoring system should be set for all windows and doors. This can mean the difference between a safe home and one that is an easy target.
Once you've moved to a new house, make it a priority to replace all locks. Regardless of how trustworthy you consider the last owners to be, neither you nor they can be sure that there aren't others out there with keys to those locks. Remember that other families may have lived there before that person as well.
You can secure your home better now that you've got smart security tips. Use them to do the necessary security alterations. Soon your home will feel safe and secure 24/7. You will soon be relaxed.

Although they perform a vital service in helping to maintain our oral health, a trip to the dentist isn't on any top ten lists for ways to have a good time—and that makes it hard to find new patients. Since dentists receive little or no training in school on how to advertise and promote their practice, some turn to marketing firms that cater to their specialty. But even practices that prefer to handle things in-house can see an uptick in the number of patients in their waiting room by changing the way they run and brand themselves, as these experts explain.

Groundwater management
Africa Groundwater Atlas >> Additional resources >> Groundwater Management
Managing groundwater sustainably
Sustainable management of groundwater resources is critical to ensuring the long-term supply of good quality groundwater supplies. Groundwater management is a huge topic and there are many organisations who produce information and guidance on managing water resources, including groundwater, both in Africa and more generally. This page lists some of these organisations and their outputs, but there are many more.
Groundwater Governance
The Groundwater Governance project aims to influence political decisions thanks to better awareness of the paramount importance of groundwater resources and their sustainable management in averting the impending water crisis.
The Rural Water Supply Network (RWSN) produces many resources that support groundwater management. For example, the following report that addresses sustainable groundwater development:
Furey, S G, and Danert, K. 2014. Sustainable Groundwater Development: use, protect and enhance. RWSN Publication 2014-9, 1, Skat/SDC/UNICEF/DFID, DEW Point, RWSN, St Gallen.
Africa Groundwater Network
The Africa Groundwater Network (AGW-Net) has produced a training manual, The Integration of Groundwater Management into Transboundary Basin Organizations in Africa, in both English and French. The manual is designed to support the international river basin organisations in Africa to manage their transboundary groundwater issues. AGW-Net carries out a range of other activities relating to its key aims of increasing awareness of the potential and value of groundwater across Africa, and contributing to capacity building in the groundwater sector in Africa. AGW-Net promotes communication within the African groundwater community, with active participation from across the continent.
The UPGro programme (Unlocking the Potential of Groundwater for the Poor_ is funded in the UK by DFID and NERC. Research is being carried out under the UPGro programme that combines a social and natural science approach in order to better support sustainable use of groundwater for the benefit of the poor in Africa.
The UN International Groundwater Resources Assessment Centre (IGRAC) facilitates and promotes international sharing of information and knowledge required for sustainable groundwater resources development and management, and produces a number of resources that can be accessed via the GW-MATE section of their website, including this report:
Tuinhof, A, Foster, S, van Steenbergen, F, Talbi, A, and Wishart, M. 2011. Appropriate Groundwater Management Policy for Sub-Saharan Africa in face of demographic pressure and climatic variability. Strategic Overview Series, No. 5, GW-MATE/World Bank/GWP/Water Partnership Program.
WaterAid produces information on managing water resources, including groundwater. This recent video gives an example of managing groundwater resources to reduce the vulnerability of communities to water stress. Other WaterAid publications can be found on its website.
International Association of Hydrogeologists
The International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH) works to raise awareness of groundwater issues, and works with national and international agencies to promote the use of groundwater. IAH publishes academic research through the Hydrogeology Journal and the IAH Book Series.

An elaborate, expensive, skilled landscape design is not essential to garden success. For first-time designers, the options might seem overwhelming. Backyard design is a posh course of, and it really begins with taking inventory of your property, making lists of priorities and prospects, and attempting to imagine a backyard where there may be nothing.
There's a free version of this program but it surely doesn't provide as many features. The paid model will give you access to 3D flooring plans, scale designs, and personalized setups. It can be used on most working techniques and even on a cellular device.
Should the edges of your border be straight or curved? Straight traces and arduous angles go well with formal designs, wherein borders are given normal geometrical shapes (squares, rectangles, circles). Gentle curves and irregular shapes have a more relaxed, pure, and therefore informal look. Select a form that fits your landscape, but do not be afraid to combine and match. Borders near the house and deck, for example, is likely to be straight-edged, matching the strains of the structure, while borders alongside a property line or surrounding a group of bushes and shrubs would possibly undulate with the pure contours of the site.
The courtyard is the soul of the house,†Adams says.
The seven-storey solid-concrete building, often known as Museum Garage, was designed and engineered by Miami studio Tim Haahs with undertaking manager Javier Sánchez. Establishing a design brief to your garden venture must be the first stage of the method, and is essential whether you plan to employ professionals or full the work yourself. It starts with an understanding of all the problems that must be solved. Spend time discussing why you're undertaking the project earlier than capturing this in a set of design goals; these can then be developed and an inventory of requirements drawn up.
Specific forms of gardens could be born out of necessity, or a design theme can supply inspiration and steerage. You can pack this container fairly tight with succulents, as a result of these fashionable vegetation do not develop shortly or crowd out their neighbors the way different varieties do. Succulents may even do properly in shallow containers as long as you present good drainage.
This similar conventional hierarchy works for roofing.
Rework your world with attractive interior and exterior container gardens from Winston Flowers. The group's design philosophy, set forth by Duany Plater-Zyberk & Co., was one of many principal causes Shirlene and her husband, Mark, chose to build in Alys Beach. This house displays my love of European architecture—it was an ideal match for the Mediterranean model of Alys,†Shirlene says. The entire interior spaces face a courtyard, offering a seamless connection between indoors and out. The courtyard is the soul of the home,†Adams says. It gives mild, privateness, views, and outdoor residing house.†Material selections additional combine the inside and exterior spaces. Heavy wooden doorways and arched openings lead from one area to a different. Shutters open and shut for views or privateness. Coquina stone and pebble pavers line the courtyard. The home is slim to suit throughout the tight lot line, however a side reveal shows how the linear plan stretches to more than 2,800 square feet.
Because it has already been proven, the modern house exterior design is the most well-liked inside new house owners and those that intend to become the owner of a modern house. With so many colours, styles, profiles, and finishes accessible available on the market in the present day how are you aware which is greatest in your house? Jim Carver & Sons has the answer!

Benjamin S. Bloom was born into the tumultuous time period of World War I. Yet, his early life was shaped in many ways by the typical Eastern American experience. Born on Februray 21, 1913, Bloom grew up in Lansford Pennsylvania. He was a small and unassuming man with a sharp wit and a deep desire to learn.
He attended Penn State University and later earned a PhD from the University of Chicago. At the time he developed his famous taxonomy, the United States was at the forefront of educational theory. From John Dewey's Progressive school to the boom in Information Processing Theory to Skinner's science of Behaviorism, the U.S. paved the way in educational theory. As a Board Examiner from 1943 to 1959, Bloom developed his famous Bloom's Taxonomy. Unlike other theorists, his grew out of a pragmatic need to re-tool the assessment of students. Indeed, Benjamin Bloom was one of the first theorists to advocate the absolution of norm-referenced tests.
To him, all learning must be individualized and criterion-referenced. Eventually, on their own, students would reach the same level. Bloom had an affinity for science and statistics, which enabled him to classify information quickly. Those who knew him would often remark on his messy office, filled with books, notes, scribbles of information and statistical research.
Although his theories have been largely adopted by the more traditional teaching movements (especially in standards-based instruction and in the Core Curriculum Movement), Bloom considered himself a progressive. His style of teaching was interactive and encouraging to new ideas of research. Indeed, he was more Progressive than people could have guessed. Before Social Learning Theory existed, Bloom suggested that the environment played a major role in a student's learning. Before differentiated instruction was an educational buzzword, he believed in tailoring instruction to an individual's needs. In his later years, Bloom became an educational activist. He worked as a consultant for India and Israel. His advocated an educational system based upon higher-level thinking and a progressive style of teaching. Later, he testified before Congress about the importance of early childhood development. To him, one of his greatest victories was the creation of the Head Start Program.

Brad Wall says the forces that branded Canadian oil as dirty could easily end up doing the same with agriculture
Former Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall recently told agriculture to take a branding lesson from the energy sector.
Speaking alongside former New Brunswick premier Frank McKenna at a panel during Canadian Western Agribition held in Regina Nov. 19-24, Wall said the same forces that worked to brand all Canadian oil as dirty don't like modern agriculture.
"Governments, including the one that I led, have been flat-footed in terms of defence of the industry," he told the crowd regarding oil. "The industry itself has been very much flat-footed in terms of defending itself."
Wall said well-funded non-governmental organizations and environmental allies were able to convince people that all oil is dirty and they could be coming for agriculture.
He noted the so-called Leap Manifesto, developed by a coalition of authors, artists and activists and supported by some politicians, that calls for an end to oil and gas, mining, and modern agriculture.
"So is that the next target?" he asked. "We ought to be ready."
Wall noted that marketing is already targeted toward people's fears and lack of scientific knowledge.
"Consider that you can go to a store in Saskatchewan today and buy a finished product made from oats and the label on the oats will say GMO-free," he said. "There is not an oats crop that is GMO on the planet. That label is so powerful …notwithstanding the fact that there isn't any science that backs it up."
McKenna said Alberta should rebrand itself as the world's largest laboratory of environmental technology.
He said there are thousands of scientists working at technologies in conjunction with the oil and gas industry.
"The end result is that there's less water depletion, the amount of reclamation that's taking place is absolutely stunning," he said.
Oil creates an immense amount of national wealth and McKenna and Wall both said Canadians should be outraged at how the resource is treated.
"Let's not be stupid here. We've got reserves that are good for 50, 60, 70 years. This is our wealth forever. Other countries in the world would not treat the resource the way that we do," McKenna said. "Our obligation as stewards of the planet is to make sure that we use every technology available across the planet to produce that resource at the lowest cost and with the best environmental standards. I think we're doing it."
On carbon tax, Wall said the federal government knows that it won't cut emissions unless it's at least $200 per tonne. Canada is responsible for only 1.7 percent of the world's greenhouse gases, he said.
"We're going to risk the fact that these carbon taxes will work, we'll risk trade exposed industries, we'll risk our competitiveness as a country and if the risk is somehow mitigated and this works … we'll have saved the planet 30 percent of 1.7 percent of emissions," Wall said of the $50 per tonne tax that will be in place by 2022.
"It's my belief personally that Canada would be well served by leadership that took a much broader, more progressive view on global emissions."

Miriam-Webster Dictionary defines engagement as..
A promise to meet.
Emotional involvement or commitment
Leading up to the engagement is emotional….
You might meet online, at a party or through a friend's introduction. You are vulnerable anywhere!
It is like a roller coaster of emotions. Meeting, dating, falling in love and then engagement.
Ah…. But it is a strong emotion. Once bitten, love can take you to the tallest peaks. Send you soaring with the eagles.
All I ask is take this time and soak up the rays of love. Plan your wedding together and take your time.
Commitment, think about it, enjoy it. Take a walk in a park, throw leaves at each other, hug and talk. These are ways to get to know each other and fall deeper in love and make your engagement one of the most memorable times in your life.

Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds commemorates the Disney and Fox deal closing this week with a photo of Wade Wilson heading to Disney. After Reynolds made his poorly received debut as the Merc with a Mouth in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine (largely due to the movie's handling of the character rather than the actor's portrayal), a solo Deadpool movie languished in development hell for many years. However, when some leaked Deadpool test footage earned praise from diehard and casual fans alike, Fox finally greenlit the movie. Deadpool hit theaters in 2016, becoming a critical and box office success. The sequel, Deadpool 2, then a PG-13 recut of the sequel, Once Upon A Deadpool, hit theaters in 2018.
On Twitter, Reynolds commemorated the Disney and Fox deal officially closing tomorrow with a new image of Deadpool. He's on a yellow school bus marked Disney and is wearing a set of Mickey Mouse ears typically seen in any of Disney's theme parks. Check out the image below.
Feels like the first day of 'Pool. pic.twitter.com/QVy8fCxgqr
— Ryan Reynolds (@VancityReynolds) March 19, 2019
It's unclear what exactly will become of Deadpool once the franchise is officially transferred to Disney. CEO Bob Iger has been clear he wants to continue the success of the Merc with a Mouth's solo series with Deadpoolsequels at Disney. But, since the R-rated tone Reynolds' superhero doesn't fall in line with Disney and Marvel Studios' PG-13 Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's unlikely an R-rated Deadpool movie will be included in the MCU. Whether that means Deadpool will stay separate from the rest of the MCU, and Disney will continue the spinoff franchise with X-Force and Deadpool 3, or he'll eventually team with the MCU heroes in a PG-13 film, remains to be seen.

A nice matchup
A nice matchup
A prepared Davis is too big and overwhelming for Santa Cruz. The last few fights for Davis haven't been that impressive though. I wouldn't be shocked if Santa Cruz could pull it off.
Hoping for a KTFO victory by Santa Cruz.
Showtime going with a PPV for initial (?) card back? I just can't understand the thinking behind that in this economy right now and both guys not being massive outside of deeper rooted boxing fans. Then again maybe they're just counting on all the boxing nerds being so desperate for a 'big match' they know we'll roll Quarters and recycle cans just to see one . I think Santa Cruz will put on quite the show v Davis and come out victorious.
Bigger man George, bigger punch!

It looks like it will be at 130 instead of 135. If that's true, it helps Santa Cruz a lot.
I'm a fan of these multi belt/ multi weight fights, although with this 1 there seems to behind reasons behind it. Can Davis even make 130 anymore without compromising himself in the ring? I feel that having both belts on the line is kind of a safe guard in case Davis blows the weight. They can then still have the 135 title up for grabs.
If Davis makes 130 and impresses it gives his team options where he doesn't have to step in against Loma. I don't see anything in Santa Cruz that will trouble Davis, unless he is drained. But having the incentive of being the 1st 5 division Champion from Mexico could be just the motivation needed to spring the upset.
They live, We sleep
The time away will tell me a lot about his level of discipline. He has the talent, developing skillset, power, speed.
None of that matters if he isn't disciplined enough to do what Floyd did his entire career; treat his body like a temple.
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
I am not taking anything away from Davis but this is the most talented , busy fighter he is meeting to date. Even Davis wins, there's a chance that he will have a hard time because Leo enjoys boxing, it is not just a job to him.`

Yesterday I published a post where I referenced an article by Bespoke Investment Group. During this season of reflection of the past year and anticipation of the one to come – aka goal setting – I figured further analysis of their article and its relationship to the DGI community might be warranted.
First I need to address the caveats:
- Only publicly disclosed data culled from portfolios in my Blog Directory were used. If your blog is not listed, your data was not included.
- My data only reflects a snapshot in time. Once entered in my database I generally make no updates.
- I make no guaranty as to the accuracy of the data either through input errors, processing errors, or the legitimacy of the source data. Meaning, use at your own risk – or you get what you pay for.
This article will be published in two parts, 2015: What Went Right and 2015: What Went Wrong.
Bespoke's article raised a number of questions in my mind. Although not specifically targeted to the DGI community, I found it to be timely none-the-less. Foremost question – why were so many 'winners' missing from DGI portfolios?
First I looked at the FANG (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Google) stocks. Although non-dividend payers, all four made the Top 40 list and were in several portfolios – although no portfolio held all four. A shout-out has to go to Flight To Dividends for having the only Non-FANG, Non-Dividend paying, Top 40 stock – MNST (although his blog is currently dormant).
As most screens have Yield as a component, I used the most common threshold – 2% The Dividend Diplomats are in the process of tweaking their screen, but assuming a 2% minimum would eliminate such widely held Top 40's like NKE (10), Chubb (8) and SBUX (29).
Let me illustrate with one of my own examples. Total Systems Services came in #8 on the top 40 list. I opened a position on January 6, 2015. My investment thesis was that payment processors would get a lift with the Apple Pay rollout. By any measure, TSS would miss most screens as its' yield at purchase was 1.1%. Also, no increase in the dividend since 2011. Today if you were to buy you could lock in a whopping yield of .78%. But my total return (price appreciation plus dividends) is 41.28%. To maintain your sanity (and perspective), when lower yielding securities are incorporated into a DGI portfolio the Total Return metric should be used as well.
The 123 portfolios with MCD (3% yld) have plenty to be happy about as well as the 19 with DPS (2.1%), 8 RAI (3.2%), 4 VLO (2.8%) and 3 PSA (2.7%). All were in the Top 40 and attractive current yield (%).

Evelyn Hone College Students yesterday staged a class boycott dumping garbage bins at the college library near the Principal's office demanding improved sanitation, security and a new college bus forcing management to suspend classes.
But Evelyn Hone College Principal Pascal Chewe has described the students action as uncalled for which was only going to disturb their school calendar.
The students at the tertiary institution in the heart of Lusaka have been demonstrating against poor sanitation and other conditions for a long time but management has not addressed their concerns.
The students were also angered by the decision by management to exclude some of the students from the graduation ceremony slated for Friday this week.
There was a reported high rate of failure with some courses registering an unprecedented zero pass rate.
The students said they had decided to show the general public how dirty the college had become because management had allegedly paid a deaf ear to their complaints.
"We are not scared of the media and we want to expose to the general public how dirty this college has become. We have been complaining about the filth and the dirt for a long time and before there is an outbreak of diseases, we want the authorities to know," one student said.
The irate students closed all the gates into and out of the college chanting anti-management slogans and denounced Mr Chewe whom they accused of having failed to run the institution.
There was panic at the institution as hundreds of students were seen running away from the College campus for safety and for fear that management was going to unleash police officers who are their immediate neighbours.
But Mr Chewe, the Evelyn Hone College Principal said it was unacceptable for the students to have resorted to demonstrations instead of using their union leaders to air their grievances.
Mr Chewe said the college could not meet the students' demands because of the challenges the institution was going through.
Mr Chewe who could not address the students who were camped at his office said the college would only be able to do what it can and that other demands would have to wait.
He said the students were disturbing their learning calendar and advised that it was important for them to use their union leaders to express their disquiet.
"The students have representatives which are their college union and it is our expectation that they should air their grievances without resorting to demonstrations. They are disturbing their school calendar by such actions. As management, we are only going to do what we are able to do," Mr Chewe said.

Anna's Cauliflower Cheese
I really cannot take credit for this one. It is my wonderful husband Iain's top-to-tail cauliflower cheese, ably written up by our 10-year-old Felix. And eaten happily by us all!
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Remove the cauliflower leaves and put to one side. Divide the cauliflower into florets and put in a baking tin. Finely chop the stem and add, too.
Put 3 tablespoons of oil onto the florets making sure they are evenly coated. Add a generous seasoning of salt and black pepper and roast for 25 minutes.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a gentle heat, and when fully melted add the flour gradually, continuously stirring so all the flour is absorbed by the butter. Carry on stirring and add the milk gradually until it becomes a creamy, shiny white sauce. Add the grated cheese to the white sauce and carry on stirring.
Halve the tomatoes. Put your bread crumbs in a mixing bowl and add the final tablespoon of oil.
When you remove the cauliflower it will have started to colour. Line the bottom of a casserole dish with the cauliflower leaves and evenly place the florets on top.
Pour the cheese sauce over the top and sprinkle the breadcrumbs on as well. Lay the tomatoes on top and put in the oven for 20 minutes.
Serve with a crisp, well-dressed green salad and enjoy.
Get the kids to measure and drizzle the oil over the cauliflower and scatter the breadcrumbs over the top of the dish. Show them how to make the white sauce – it's such a great skill to learn for so many dishes. They can grate the cheese to add to the sauce, too.

Ocado Launches Paleo Diet Aisle
online Paleo shop
diet-friendly products delivered in handy one-hour slots
recipes and simple, tasty meal ideas
Ocado, the online supermarket, has noticed a rise in Brits adopting the Paleo way of life and in response, have created a one-stop online shop, making it easier for followers of the diet to get all their Paleo essentials delivered right to their door in convenient one-hour slots.
The aisle consists only of foods accepted within the diet so shoppers can browse for inspiration and rest assured that all their choices will adhere to the Paleo guidelines.
The Paleo (Paleolithic) diet is a modern nutritional plan based on the presumed diet of the Paleolithic humans. Different to a weight-loss diet, the Paleo diet is a way of life created from the premise that modern humans are adapted to the diet of the Paleolithic period. The diet is about eating nature-made foods, not man-made foods, and consists mainly of fish, grass-fed pasture-raised meats, eggs, vegetables, fruit, and nuts.
Ocado has partnered with Paleo expert and author, Joy Skipper, to create an aisle which consists entirely of paleo-friendly foods. Skipper has recently launched her cookbook, The Paleo Diet Made Easy which is the second book in her Paleo series. The cookbook, along with all the ingredients to recreate the recipes at home, will be available to buy at ocado.com.
Joy Skipper said: "Switching to the Paleo way of eating is very simple and once you start to cut out the foods your body finds hard to recognise, you will hopefully feel a vitality and energy that ensures you don't want to go back to the way you were eating before. The Paleo aisle is the perfect place to shop - everything you can eat in one place. With one-hour delivery slots, there's no need to wait in all day to have your Paleo foods delivered - enjoy your day and know that great food is on its way to you, when you choose."
The Paleo diet boasts a number of celebrity advocates including Uma Thurman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jason Statham, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Anniston, who have all chosen to adopt this lifestyle.
Browse the new aisle now: [http://www.ocado.com/webshop/onePageEvent.do?page=49204]

Ein kurzer Überblick über vergangene Arbeiten.
CANYON Fitness Shooting Barcelona
"Ride your workout" is Canyon's new claim for their brand new collection of fitness bikes. Even though fitness bikes are still kind of niche products, Canyon's approach to it is fully uncompromising...as always. They want fitness bikes to finally become sexy and desirable. To transport this feeling, their pictures needed to fulfill this approach by 101%. So we brought a bunch of high-end sportsmodels to our second home Barcelona to shoot stunning fitness bike pictures in the early Catalan morning. production: AD.LIPS #production_network producer: Pingo Magduschewski (AD.LIPS) client: Canyon Bicycles GmbH photographer: Sebas Romero styling: Pingo Magduschewski (AD.LIPS) location: Barcelona
Gørttwiete Imagefilm (Immobilie)
How do you show and gain interest for a real estate that's not yet existing? Well, normally you do that by 3D animations or CGI images in a boring brochure or on a website. But Hamburg based agency Metropol+, which is famous for spectacular real estate concepts, and their client "Art Invest" had the idea to produce a film which will promote the so called "Gorttwiete" real estate by showing the vibe of the area it'll be build in plus adding the traditional animations to give potential clients a realistic feeling of what they can expect from their future residence. AD.LIPS #production_network was hired to put a team together and bring the agencies idea to life. production: AD.LIPS #production_network producer: Tim Magduschewski (AD.LIPS) client: Art Invest Real Estate Funds GmbH agency: Metropol+ (Nordpol+) location: Hamburg camera: Clemens Krueger edit: Dustin Janczewski (Captured Heroes) & Daniel Hacker animations: Peter Schoppa (Schoppa TV) music: Mert Tekin (Trust'N Try)
Volvo X Robinson Golf Open
In Sweden golfing is not only a sport for the upper class people, but a sport for the entire population. Almost in every city, town or village you'll find signs saying "golfbana" which guide you the way to the local golf course. As Volvo is Swedens #1 car brand it was always logic to them to engage in the local golf sport. This year Volvo Car Germany adopted this tradition and teamed up with Germany's most famous resort chain Robinson who always been known for having amazing golf courses in many of their locations around the globe. To give future Robinson golf vacationers an idea what this collaboration has to offer, AD.LIPS went down to the south of Turkey to shoot a film during the Volvo Golf Open. production: AD.LIPS #production_network producer: Tim Magduschewski (AD.LIPS) client: Volvo Car Germany & Robinson location: Robinson Club Nobilis Turkey camera/edit: Dustin Janczewski (Captured Heroes) sound: David Lasota
