You are a nice person, generally respectable with a fairly nice living room and a friendly dog who doesn't jump up on people when they come to visit. You make a mean guacamole dip and have the biggest LCD screen in the county. Who wants to watch the small group DVD on a tiny screen? So when the small group host campaign happened, you jumped at the chance to do your part. You went to orientation and picked up your DVD and set the date and time for the launch of your brand new small group.
As the time approaches you think, "I wonder if there will be room for everyone; should I borrow a few more chairs?" Finally, the big moment… 7:00pm… you sit with your yet-to-be-famous guacamole dip wilting on the counter. The ice clinks around as it melts in the bowl next to the 2 liter bottles of drinks you bought of flavors you never drink. "Maybe everyone thought I meant 7:30″… you reason to yourself but know the ads all said 7:00. Eventually, maybe 7:45… you come to your self and in an unfeigned voice say aloud… "No one came."
But why? There are many reasons why people don't come to small groups. Of course there are the usual reasons of lack of ads, failure to communicate the information properly, failing to entrepreneurially reach out to your target group; all things that can be fixed pretty easily before the next planned meeting time.
Some are self imposed by the attendee such as, 1. I'm too busy. 2. It's too far away. 3. I don't know anyone there. 4. I hate crowds. 5. I don't need any more friends. If you think about these excuses there really isn't much you can do to alleviate them. It reminds me of the story Jesus told in Luke 14:15-23. In this parable, everybody he had invited to his banquet gave lame reasons for NOT coming. So the man said to his servants, "go out to the roads and country lanes and make them come in so that my house will be full." He immediately changed his attraction model away from inviting the ones he would expect to come. He sent his servants out to those who needed and wanted more than they had and would come with enthusiasm.
Maybe, when we can't fill our house with the usual "church folks", we should reach out to a different crowd… maybe to those who aren't too busy, don't hate crowds and people, aren't too far away, and don't already have too many friends. In His parable, Jesus called them poor, crippled, blind, and lame from the back alleys and streets. They are never too busy to want to be loved.
If you aren't hitting your target within the church, instead of revamping your marketing strategy, maybe you should just look for a different demographic… those who are in need of a friend… and be a friend.
Take this Leader Poll on your leading a small group experience.

Seattle-based rock band Great Grandpa created a party-like atmosphere with their set of indie songs for March 6's CUB Alt concert in the Brower Student Center, which was opened by bands Harmony Woods and Petal.
This concert was Great Grandpa's last hurrah on their tour before driving back to Seattle. Vocalist Alex Menne and guitarist and vocalist Patrick Goodwin settled to one side as guitarist Dylan Hanwright and bassist Carrie Miller took the other.
The drummer Cam LaFlam sat in front of a vibrant blue banner that read "Great Grandpa Plastic Cough" that had been hanging there the whole night. The entire band sported paper party hats, even the stuffed animals that sat on the speakers and hung around the mic stand.
Red balloons thrown into the crowd were kept afloat, bouncing from person to person, as Great Grandpa played songs off of its 2017 album "Plastic Cough."
The set began with a rousing performance of the song "Teen Challenge." The vocals skipped almost like a record with precision timing. The sound effects gave the band a jovial sound that filled the whole room and brought the crowd closer together.
Three songs in, the band invited the crowd to get close to the stage to grab some party favors including plastic toy dinosaurs and party hats to match those of the band. Crowd members donned their party hats and shook "shakers" shaped like miniature maracas to the beat.
Tracks like "All Things Must Behave/Eternal Friend" incorporated puns, catchy repetitive lyrics and the garage feel of grunge pop.
The band kept an ongoing commentary during the intermittent breaks. The casual banter offered a respite from the energizing and fun songs.
This was Miller's last show, and Hanwright gave her a fond sendoff, phrasing her reason for departure — getting a nursing degree — the best way he knew how.
"Here at Great Grandpa, we value the collegiate," Hanwright said. "(Carrie) is going to study how to make people feel better."
Nearing the end of the show, the crowd was congratulated for keeping the balloons going and shaking the maracas on time with the beat surprisingly well.
Hanwright had the most fun playing the last song, "Favorite Show," that kept the audience dancing to the very end.
"(It) has a really fun buildup and it's the most energetic part of the set," Hanwright said.
The stuffed monkey on the speaker crowd surfed through the palms of delicate handlers as the extended chorus and last stanza played out.
"(Great Grandpa) got the crowd into it," Colin Lawn, a freshman marketing major and a CUB associate board member, said. "I have never listened to them before this, but I will definitely listen to them after this."
Harmony Woods opened the show, an indie rock band fronted by lead singer and guitarist Sofia Verbilla, with support from a backup guitarist and bassist as well as co-manager Jeremy Berkin on drums.
"(Verbilla's) only a freshman in college," said Alex O'Connor, a junior communications studies major. "She's becoming really big with her band."
Harmony Woods' setlist included two songs as a sneak peek of the band's next album to be released in the future "if the gods allow," according to Verbilla.
Verbilla's lyrical quality shone in her opening track, "Vignette #1," and all the others to follow. The songs took inspiration from some past and some imaginary relationships, according to Verbilla.
"The lyrics are a core part of the music," said Lucia Gardiner, a freshman art education major. "The lyrics are sincere."
Imagery was scattered throughout her songs, all to a homey and acoustic backdrop.
"I tried to make a home in you but the foundation was overlooked," Verbilla sang in her third song, "Jenkintown-Wyncote."
All of the material felt familiar. Part of the music's allure came from relatable depictions of watching headlights through a window or feeling lethargic, unable to get out of a warm bed. It had audience members nodding along.
"I like the narrative lyrics," said Sofia Hayda, a freshman urban education and English double major. "I'll definitely look them up afterwards."
Petal, the second opener, is the solo musical project of Kiley Lotz, who hails from Pennsylvania. Lotz stood on the stage alone accompanied only by three flowers adorning the strap on her electric guitar.
"There's not a lot of queer women in (this) music scene," O'Connor said. "It's refreshing to see a powerful woman like her."
Lotz sang songs like "Chandelier Thief" from her album "Shame" with a delicate and hypnotic quality offset by the rhythm of the guitar.
Lotz did her usual "ending spiel" before playing her last song, "Heaven," which she had written when she was feeling depressed.
"If you feel lonely … if you're struggling, you deserve love, and I care, and the world wouldn't be better off without you," Lotz said.
Despite the heavy tone of "Heaven," Lotz ended her performance on a cheery note.
"Way to go queers!" Lotz said. "Way to go trans folks!"
Chris Ratanski, an executive board member of CUB and a junior chemistry major, found Lotz's stage presence to be sweet and funny.
"I can tell she's speaking from her heart," Ratanski said.
Greg Ferretti, a 28-year-old Eatontown resident, is a long-time fan and drove to the College for the show.
"I love her, she just, her songwriting in general and just the way she conveys her emotions — I find it really moving," Ferretti said.

Reports show the existence of concentration camps in Russia
Colega, the LGBT collective of Madrid, together with madrileños who wanted to respond to our call, protested today in Madrid's Puerta del Sol, denouncing the Chechnian authorities' systematic persecution of the LGBT collective in that region.
On April 1st, the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta denounced the kidnapping of hundreds of men, orchestrated by the authorities of the Russian republic of Chechnya, for being gay. Following the information from this source, the authorities tortured and maltreated the victims in order to force them to reveal other members of the LGBT community. Furthermore, Novaya Gazeta also affirmed that at least three people have been assassinated for the same reason.
Several days after publishing this report, the newspaper also denounced the existence of at least one concentration camp, close to Grozny, the capital of Chechnya. Apparently, the purpose of this camp is to secretly confine and torture the kidnapped citizens. Furthermore, Novaya Gazeta suggests that this concentration camp may not be the only one available to the Chechnian police.
Various international organizations, such as ILGA-Europa—la Oficina Europea de la Asociación Internacional de Lesbianas, Gays, Transexuales y Bisexuales—and Amnesty International have already denounced and condemned this act. Furthermore, Russian organizations that defend the rights of LGBT folks are working to protect the LGBT community; they have even offered to help LGBT folks escape from Chechnya to guarantee their safety.
Chechnya and the Russian Federation share the same LGBTphobic attitude
To speak of Chechnya is to speak of Russia. This Russian republic has been ground zero for constant instability, especially in the 1990s. The Russian government succeeded in suppressing the separatist movement there and put Razman Kadyrov in charge, a man known for his crusade to maintain public order and "tradition."
In Moscow, the Government of the Federation has been incrementally increasing the repression and persecution of LGBT folks for years by passing various draconian laws that persecute any positive promotion of homosexuality, thereby impeding free expression and the fight for LGBT rights (which are, without a doubt, human rights).
At Colega, we believe that the fight for human rights is a universal aspiration that doesn't allow for pauses or partial recognitions. It's true that the laws of a country are always fair, but in the Russian case anti-homosexual rhetoric is stuffed with nonsense, lies, and misrepresentations. The malicious confusion of pedophilia and homosexuality is already well known and is often accompanied by the famous excuse that, by persecuting homosexuals, the community is "protecting the children."
Another show of disrespect by the Russian authorities against our collective
For Samir Bargachi, president of Colega Madrid, this is "another step in the general and organized deterioration against Russian LGBT folks and their defenders. The published information is proof that the Chechnian and Russian authorities have committed all sorts of crimes that they are trying to hide in their fight against our collective," continues Bargachi, "which also contributes to the violence and harassment that LGBT folks face, as well as all sorts of derogatory, insulting and homophobic comments."
Russia is a member of the Council of Europe and has signed various international treaties that protect human rights. "This persecution is another dangerous message of hate that Rusia is transmitting to the world concerning the respect of human rights," declares the president of Colega, "and the European Union, the Council of Europe and the United Nations should react to this flagrant violation of what they claim to defend.

As summer ends and the kids go back to school, many parents are acutely aware of common fall illnesses showing up more and more. As kids spend more time indoors with crowds, germs can spread quickly and make more students sick. Parents are susceptible to these sicknesses as well since the kids bring germs home. As autumn begins, it's time to keep an eye out for these common fall sicknesses.Keep yourself and your kids safe from these 4 common fall illnesses! Click To Tweet
Common Fall Illnesses
A combination of lower temperatures and crowded indoor areas allow germs to infect large groups of people rapidly. Kids in school are especially vulnerable. Let's look at the most common illnesses passed around in the fall and how to avoid them:
- Seasonal allergies
- Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
- Raynaud Syndrome
- Influenza
1) Seasonal Allergies
Houston autumns bring plenty of humidity and pollen, both of which can make allergies very severe and unpleasant. Asthma patients are especially at risk. To best combat seasonal allergies, keep allergy medicine handy for severe reactions and make sure you and your kids wash their hands regularly. Finally, after you or your kids have spent a while playing outside, wash their clothes shortly thereafter to remove any pollen they may have accumulated.
Pro Tip: Sniffing small amounts of very strong peppermint can clear up congestion caused by seasonal allergies. Just be careful! Peppermint in large doses can be overpowering.
2) Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
SAD is a form of depression that appears or worsens during the fall and winter months. While several factors contribute, it's widely acknowledged that shorter, gloomier days common in the fall lead to mild depression from a lack of sunlight. Not only does this cause a person's mental health to deteriorate, but it also contributes to problems eating, sleeping, or functioning well in life. Fortunately, there are several ways to prevent SAD from worsening. For instance, light therapy, a method of simulating sunlight, has been shown to help boost a person's mood during a dark winter day.
Remember, SAD should be approached like any form of mental illness. Offer support to your children as they deal with their feelings and come up with coping methods. With time and effective treatments, SAD will become manageable.
3) Raynaud Syndrome
If you or a loved one have heart problems, you may notice them worsening in the winter. This is probably because of Raynaud Syndrome, a seasonal condition that causes poor circulation and numbness as the temperature drops. Encourage your children to stay active to promote better circulation, and bundle up nice and cozy before going outside to combat numbness and lower body temperatures. Keep your blood flowing to prevent the worst of the symptoms.
4) Influenza
Without a doubt, the flu is the most common sickness to surface in the fall. While it may not seem like a big deal, the flu can be quiet serious–nearly 200 children died from the flu in 2018. That's why it's absolutely critical for both you and your kids to stay up-to-date on your yearly flu shots to keep yourselves safe and prevent the spread of this viral infection. If someone in your family does catch the flu, encourage good hygiene to keep others from getting sick and visit the doctor if the fever persists longer than a day or two.
Keep Healthy This Fall
While it's certainly easy to get sick during the winter months, it's not inevitable. You can curb the spread of infection by washing your hands, keeping up to date on your vaccinations, and taking care of your own health as well as your family's health. Don't lose your autumn season to dealing with a sore throat or similarly unpleasant feeling!

When it comes to buying presents for your children, the older they get, the trickier it can be.

Agreement over failed Monterey desalination plan
Agreement was reached on 4 December 2012 on legal and monetary issues resulting from the failed Monterey Regional Desalination Project, which was abandoned earlier this year.The Monterey County Board of Supervisors, in approving the agreement with California American Water, agreed that its ordinance requiring public ownership of desalination facilities in Monterey County will not apply to California American Water (Cal Am), an investor-owned utility, or its current water supply project proposal, the Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project.
The Regional Desalination Project was a joint effort between Cal Am, Marina Coast Water District and the Monterey County Water Resources Agency (MCWRA) intended to resolve the long-standing water supply shortage on the Monterey Peninsula. After receiving approval from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) in December 2010, the project faced a series of challenges including environmental litigation and conflict of interest allegations against a former MCWRA board member.
On 18 July 2012, CPUC officially ruled that it would be unreasonable for California American Water to continue to pursue the Regional Desalination Project, citing the uncertainty surrounding financing and the ability to obtain needed permits for the project. In the settlement, the county states it will support the company's effort to limit source water for the desalination component of its water supply plan to the shallow aquifer, which lies above the 180-ft (55 m) aquifer where the company had originally proposed to draw its water. Withdrawals from the 180-ft aquifer are opposed by Monterey County agricultural interests.
California American Water agrees in the settlement to pursue the shallow aquifer as its preferred source, but states that if the shallow aquifer proves unsuitable, the company will revert to its original plan.
The settlement agreement also addresses the development of a groundwater monitoring plan to monitor the impact of the Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project on the Salinas Groundwater Basin. The monitoring plan will be developed by MCWRA through a public process and paid for by California American Water.
The Monterey Peninsula Regional Water Board still has to decide between three competing seawater desalination projects for the area after its Technical Advisory Committee accepted on 17 September 2012 a report by consultants Separation Processes Inc of Carlsbad.
SPI's initial scoping and constraints analysis was unable to decide between reverse-osmosis projects from Cal Am, the DeepWater Desal group and the People's Moss Landing project to replace water currently abstracted from the Carmel river which must be reduced by 60% by the end of 2016.

It was Joseph Supangkat's first time taking first place and the student athlete was grinning from ear-to-ear from his win.
"I'm a champ," said Supangkat, clapping and cheering.
Supangkat was among the hundreds of student athletes with special needs that filled Redlands High School's Dodge Stadium by participating in the 31st annual Optimist Games.
Spearheaded by the Optimist Club of Redlands, the games give students with special needs a time to shine on the playing fields.
"This is everything we are about," said Richard Pennington, president of the Optimist Club, of the games.
As part of the games, sporting events and stations lined one end of the football field to the other, while athletes and student volunteers from from Redlands High football team and other school service clubs partnered up to take on the Olympic-style events.
The games included opening ceremonies highlighting each school participating while athletes paraded down the track, performances by Beattie Middle School students and surprise "thank you" to retiring RHS football Coach Jim Walker for his 20 years of support in the games.

Statewide – Law enforcement agencies across the state participated in the national Click It or Ticket enforcement campaign from May 20, 2019 through June 2, 2019 to help save lives on North Dakota roads.
A total of 2,205 citations were attributed to the overtime enforcement patrols. Of the total citations, 841 were citations for failure to wear a seat belt and 28 were child restraint citations. Tickets for speeding totaled 815. The traffic stops also resulted in 276 other traffic citations (i.e. disobeying traffic signals, equipment violations), 62 uninsured motorists, 51 suspended/revoked license violations, 34 drug arrests, 15 citations for distracted driving, 11 warrants served, and eight driving under the influence (DUI) citations.
As of June 1, nearly 70% of North Dakota motor vehicle fatalities were not wearing a seat belt. Failure to use a seat belt is the most significant factor associated with motor vehicle crash injuries and fatalities in North Dakota.
High-visibility enforcement for traffic safety is one element of a collaborative effort to help meet the state's Vision Zero goal of zero motor vehicle fatalities and serious injuries on North Dakota roads.

So, as I mentioned, I have been dealing with self-doubt lately and I am not sure where it is coming from. It could be the huge move that my husband and I have recently made. Or the stress of a few huge life changing decisions that I must make soon. Either way, it is time for me to consciously kick this "Self-Doubt" in the a** and get back to being a better me.
If you are struggling with "Self-Doubt", here are my top 5 Daily Affirmations to Remove Self-Doubt:
I choose to fill my life with joy and positivity
I'm confident in my knowledge and understanding of things
I was made to fulfill a purpose
I have the power to do anything I put my mind to

Mackintosh Raincoats are a Fashion Favorite
The vulcanized rubber cloth used these days in Mackintosh coats is without a doubt the same as that first produced nearly hundred years in the past. To keep the water-resistant excellent of the material stitching holes are recoated with the rubber solution. It is a hard work extensive procedure and this is mediated in the rate of the finished product. Modern production techniques mean that Mackintosh raincoats are lighter and less difficult to wear than they used to be.
The Original Mackintosh Raincoat
The term Mackintosh raincoat, Mack or Mac has to turn out to be a well-known term for any waterproof coat. However, the proper Mackintosh has a selected combination of naphtha tar and rubber layered onto fabric to create a completely water-resistant fabric.
The unique Mackintosh coat turned into crafted from cotton fabric covered with rubber answer. The manner becomes invented and patented through the Scottish chemist, Charles Macintosh. His manner of waterproofing material used rubber dissolved in coal-tar naphtha. The procedure was patented in 1823 and the primary Mackintosh raincoats have been bought in 1824.
Charles Macintosh, Chemist, Inventor of Waterproof Rubber Coated Cotton Fabric
Charles Macintosh (1766-1843) was born in Glasgow, Scotland, UK. His father became a dyer and Charles began his operating existence as a chemist within the demise enterprise. He changed into a skilled business chemist and made numerous innovations before his experiments produced the one that made him well-known.
He discovered that coal-tar naphtha acted as a solvent while implemented to rubber. He experimented with various makes use of for this novel rubber answer. The most practical and commercially viable one was to color it onto garments to make them water-resistant. He made a cloth "sandwich" by spreading the rubber solution between two bolts of cotton cloth. This made the cloth impervious to rain.
In the eighteenth century Scotland, humans traveled by horseback or through strolling. This turned into well before the invention of the internal combustion engine and motors. In inclement climate (for which Scotland is well known!) water-resistant clothing became a clearly useful invention.
Calendering Process Produces Rubber Sheets:
A device with giant rollers is used to press rubber into skinny sheets before being implemented to the cloth. The technique is called Calendering.
A cutting-edge rubber Calendering device can be seen in the video below. Its feature is to press the combined and subtle rubber mixture into sheets of constant thickness and satisfactory. The rubber sheets are then utilized in unmarried or double thickness between or on top of diverse textile fabrics. The iconic Mackintosh coat is the product of rubberized cotton fabric.
The Name Macintosh Becomes Mackintosh:
Charles Macintosh wanted an investor to make the most of his invention. He had the technical understanding however he wished a person with money as well as understanding and experience of the garment enterprise. In 1824 he located a really perfect enterprise partner in Hugh Hornby Birley who owned a manufacturing unit in Manchester, England, UK. Initially, some manufacturing changed into accomplished in Scotland, however, through 1840 the employer moved its manufacturing base to Manchester, England.
One result of the partnership turned into an exchange to the spelling of the emblem name. Charles Macintosh (a Scot) spelled his call the Scottish way. In England, the equal name is spelled with an 'ok'. Thus Charles Macintosh (the person's name) is spelled without an 'ok'. Mackintosh (the raincoat emblem) is efficaciously spelled with an 'okay'.
Mackintosh Combines Heritage and Luxury
Mackintosh rubberized coats were no longer without delay a success. Although they were water-proof, they'd a strong odor which most wearers found unsightly. It became no longer until a fellow chemist, Thomas Hancock, invented a method involving vulcanized rubber that the trouble became solved. Hancock became an associate in Macintosh's business in 1834. This marked the actual start of the long-lasting Mackintosh brand.
In 1824 an Arctic exploration crew trialed rubber coated water resistant canvas luggage, air-beds, and pillows made by means of the Macintosh patented technique. In 1841 the British army ordered waterproof clothing for all its troops. The rubberized coats and capes have been purposeful and difficult carrying and that they soon became preferred military trouble.
After the loss of life of Charles Macintosh in 1843, the organization had a period of decline. But in 1851 the Mackintosh coat become shown at The Grand Exhibition at Crystal Palace, London. And the rest (as they say) is records.
This Famous Fashion Brand is Now Japanese:
Fans of the Mackintosh brand are stated to have covered actors Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Peter Sellers, and Audrey Hepburn. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is likewise said to put on the emblem. Most people would connect the enduring Mackintosh with Britain. But in 2007 the brand become bought to a Japanese firm, Yagi Tsusho.
However, the Japanese owners keep the logo's connection with Britain. It manufactures all its elegant UK branded water-resistant coats in just one manufacturing unit in Glasgow, Scotland.
The rubberized coats are made using the identical processes that have been used within the Nineteenth Century. It takes 3-years to train as Mackintosh coat-maker. A "Genuinely Handmade" label is sewn into each coat to emphasize the traditional method and craftsmanship.
Is a Mackintosh Made in Scotland Expensive?
The price of an item of clothing is determined by the holder. What you take into account value-for-money, I might imagine of as high priced and vice versa.
The rate paid for a Mackintosh coat made in Scotland is visible as the precise price by way of many people. The coats are well made and last an entire life of damage. You are shopping for a historical past garment, a bit of record. The people are skilled and they are paid as a consequence. Their place of business is included through health and protection rules. This all comes with a financial fee tag.
Imitation waterproof macs use cheap unskilled labor in under-evolved countries. The cloth is poor quality and the clothing does not last. Workers are employed in sweatshop situations and many are injured within the path of their work. This makes "cheap" copycat Mackintosh coats very steeply-priced indeed.

The ring of hammers joined with roaring flames, sweat-stench, shame-taste, and godly ugliness in an assault on the senses. "Do you have my bow, dear brother?" Artemis asked the twisted Olympian served by Titan-spawn.
The Lame God lifted a bow of the purest silver, tossing it at his father's most beloved child, and frowning as she squealed and ran off with nary a word of thanks. The Cyclopes, Brontes, said, "I had my doubts about cursing her bow to strike down her one love, but no longer, my lord."
Hephaestus' lips curved upwards as he dragged his club-foot over to work on Hera's new throne.
For Lillie McFerrin's Five Sentence Fiction prompt: Silver.
So, my first thought when I saw silver was about silver mines, and as I researched a little I found some interesting ideas. Doc Holliday shooting Billy Allen in Leadville, Colorado, site of Colorado's silver boom, in 1883 piqued my interest, but I couldn't fit what I wanted in five sentences. I moved on to the union strike of 1893 and the riots at the Coronado mine, where five men died and the mine burned due to dynamite explosions. Again, couldn't fit what I wanted.
Frustrated in my efforts for a western style offering (I know, Lone Ranger, Heigh-ho, Silver…not going there), my mind turned to other legends regarding silver, and I flashed to my childhood love of Greek Mythology and Artemis, Maid of the Silver Bow. Ooh!
Zeus doted on her. Yes. Apollo tricked her into killing Orion. Warmer, but it still lacked.
Okay, what if it really wasn't Apollo's fault that Artemis killed Orion? Who's fault could it be? How about the child Zeus threw off of Olympus? The one that ended up ugly and lame as a result? Bingo!
Hephaestus working on Hera's throne is a nod to the legend that he created a throne for her, and once she sat in it she became trapped. Dionysus tricked Hephaestus into becoming intoxicated, carrying him to Olympus on the back of a mule. To free Hera, Zeus gave Aphrodite to Hephaestus as a bride. The episode also caused Zeus to raise Dionysus to godhood among the Olympians.
If you made it through all that explanation…thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy.
Head on over to Lillie McFerrin Writes and join in the fun! I swear you don't have to make it as difficult as I did 😉
Happy Reading and Writing!

Having come to the end of a 20-day NLP Practitioner training recently I've been reflecting on the development of the individuals as they worked through the five-month journey. It's a big commitment – the 20 days include some weekends as well as taking time out from work. This means that most people arrive determined to get all the benefit of the training that they can.
One thing that became clear to each person at different times was that although they had originally committed to the course for the business benefits, they also stood to gain a lot personally.
Occasionally, this can be a problem for someone – usually the budget-holder! If a company pays for an employee to undertake training, the company wants to be sure of ROI, naturally. That's easy to see for a lot of technical training, but less so for people skills.
What I've noticed with NLP training is that lots of people come to it because they want to understand more about other people. They want to build more productive working relationships and maybe to help when someone is struggling. They get the tools to do that.
And so much more…
The thing that surprises a lot of people when they come on the NLP Practitioner training is just how much they learn about themselves. One HR Director told me, "I'd done practically every personality test there is, plus team profiles and inventories of strengths and styles. I thought I knew myself. And then I did NLP Practitioner training…"
In the early stages of this new awareness, sometimes the most obvious benefits are not related to work: it could be an improvement in diet or exercise, it might be a better relationship with certain family members or the resolution of a long-standing conflict. It might be a shift of mindset that leads to more personal confidence or even the end of a phobia that has limited life in some way. Why is the employer paying for this?
It seems to me, that it's natural to practise something new in an environment where it is safe to experiment. Workplaces don't always offer that. If you have the tools to improve relationships, you're going to start with the ones that are closest and most important. And what happens is that those results build confidence in the tools and confidence in self.
With that extra confidence, it's easier to take the new skills into the workplace. The approach is more assured and the results are more closely observed. So the new Practitioner has developed as a person and also developed as a professional. Is there really any difference?
My feeling is that – especially at senior level – the only way to develop professionally is to focus on personal development. Your relationships at work will never be better than your relationship with yourself…

Sun setting over Lake Te Anau, opposite our hotel
We'd spent so much time sitting on the bus during the day I decided to go for a walk that night. It was 9pm but still light enough to walk. I would love living in an area where they have twilight. It didn't start to get dark until 10pm. I was told the main part of town was about 1km so I decided to walk as far as I could before the sun set. A lot of other people were doing the same thing despite there being a chilly breeze coming off the lake.

NSW bushfires: Emergency warnings issued for fires near near Croobyar and north Nowra
NSW bushfires: Emergency warnings issued for fires near near Croobyar and north Nowra
Photo: This structure near Bomaderry was destroyed by the blaze. (ABC News )
The NSW Rural Fire Service is battling two out-of-control blazes, one in the Budawang National Park and another in north Nowra, where outbuildings have been destroyed.
Emergency warnings have been issued for both bushfires, which are threatening homes. Some people have been told it is "too late to leave".
One fire, near Croobyar Road at Mount Kingiman, has burnt about 100 hectares and is being fanned by strong winds and dry conditions.
Meanwhile, NSW RFS deputy commissioner Rob Rogers said crews were battling to save homes at north Nowra.
"It's right on them now," he said.
"Our advice — and the images show — it's close to urban areas there."
'Too late to leave'
The NSW RFS said residents in the area of Woodstock, near Ulladulla, were advised to seek shelter in a solid structure as the fire approaches. It is too late to leave.
Residents in Burrill Lake, Kings Point and south of Ulladulla who are not prepared or plan to leave, should head north to central Ulladulla.
The fire has been at emergency level since about 8.00am and an evacuation centre has already been set up at the Ulladulla Civic Centre.
Hundreds of residents have been evacuated and there are currently 40 crews on the ground and aviation support including a helicopter flying overhead to help battle the blaze.
The NSW RFS said emergency alert messages had been sent to residents in the area, however, Kate Melzer, who lives in the danger zone, said she "had not been told anything".
"I'm looking out my window and half of the sky is blue and then there's a definite line in the sky and to the left it's very orange, the sun is very filtered, there's choppers in the sky, there's quite thick smoke and it's very windy," she said.
"It's super smoky and the wind for me is a concern because I know that wind fans fire and I'm just thinking of all those people who are battling it.
"We haven't been told anything but there's obviously something going on. It's kind of scary."
Embers and ash have started blowing over Burrill Lake and the centre of Ulladulla.
Police scramble over fences
Meanwhile, near Nowra, dozens of fire trucks line streets as people covered their faces in a bid to escape the plumes of smoke that were rising above homes.
Authorities clambered over fences in a bid to alert local residents about the danger.
That blaze is burning between West Cambrewarra Rd and the Princes Highway in north Nowra.
The fire is moving in an easterly direction toward the Princes Highway — which is closed in both directions — and Bomaderry.
Strong winds are affecting the region, with gusts of up to 104 kilometres recorded in Nowra earlier, and the Bureau of Meteorology has warned these will get worse.
Conditions in NSW are dry — last week 100 per cent of the state was declared either "in drought" or "drought affected".
There is a total fire ban in place for Sydney, Illawarra and the Hunter Valley.

Fortunately, we have found a few simple solutions to resolve 'Settings not Opening in Windows 10' error which might be a real lifesaver. Let us go through this bunch of fixes below:
1. An alternate way to open Settings App in Windows 10
This method is just a short-term fix to open the settings app which is not functioning correctly in an alternative way. You can try this method below:
- Press and hold Windows + I keys and try to open the settings app
Alternatively, you can also try to go to the Action Center icon present in the taskbar (a mic to the bottom-right) and then click on "All Settings."
If the above method isn't useful for you to open the Settings app, We might need to try these more workable solutions below.
2. Run SFC Scan
Another quick fix to avoid any long process methods is to run SFC scan to fix the Settings app
Before we go through the long processes of fixing the Settings app, let us first try these quick fixes, it might work the best for you. SFC command scans all the protected files in your system. So to run SFC scan:
- To scan errors on your Hard drive- go to the Start menu
- Now, type cmd, and open the Command Prompt
- To scan your hard drive, type sfc/scannow and press Enter
The process may take a while as this command scans your hard drive and rectifies for all the errors. After the process is complete, check if your Settings app issue is resolved.
However, if the problem still occurs or SFC scan didn't work well for you, you can try the DISM scan to search for any errors in your PC. To do so,
- Open the Command Prompt
- Here enter the following command
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
The process is a little longer than SFC scan to avoid any interruptions during the scan. Now, check if the problem continues. However, DISM scan is an efficient tool to solve your issue.
3. Generate a new Windows user
If any of these quick fixes don't work for you, you might have to open the Settings app by creating a new Windows user account to fix this issue. Let's create a new user account, by the following steps:

- Here, log in through the new user account you have made
After logging in with your new user account, check if the Settings app issue still occurs in your PC.
4. Reinstall the Settings App
Although the Settings app is an inbuilt feature in your Windows 10, you have to reinstall it to fix any issues related to the Settings app. Windows 10 doesn't allow you to uninstall any built-in apps easily.
However, Windows 10 now has the PowerShell feature to help you to manage all the built-in apps. Now, follow the steps mentioned below to do the reinstalling process.
- Go to the Start button and type PowerShell
- Right-click on the PowerShell icon from the results and "Run as admin."
- In the command box type:
Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
- This re-registers and reinstalls all your windows apps including the Settings app and it most-likely fixes the issues
Your brand new Settings app works back to normal with all its functions and services in your windows 10 system.
5. Install the Required Updates
At times your Settings app might not be opening due to outdated versions of your application. You can quickly solve this issue by installing the updates which are necessary. Here's how:
- Go to the Search bar and type Control Panel
- Click on the Control Panel from the results
- Type Windows Updates in the search box (to the top right corner) in the Control Panel window and press Enter
- Here, hit on the View Installed Updates in the results list
- Check for KB3036140 update and install if it isn't
- Once you have updated to KB3036140, restart your system again
This method is our favorite pick as the new version of your Settings app works correctly on your Windows 10. You can also use any third-party tools to update your drivers and check if your Settings app is working.
6. Reset your Windows 10 System
We don't really recommend you to use this method, as resetting your Windows 10 removes all files and data from your system drive.
However, Settings app has a significant role in your Windows system and is very necessary to work. If it doesn't get fixed by any of the methods above, go through the steps mentioned below to reset your Windows 10:
- Go to the Start button and hit on the Power icon
- Press and hold the Shift key and select Restart
- You have three options on the screen to choose. Select Troubleshoot
- Now, click on Reset this PC > Remove everything
Note: Make sure to create a backup for your Windows 10 and also keep your Windows 10 installation media ready.
- Insert the Windows 10 installation media and choose your Windows version and select the "Only the drive where Windows is installed" and later select "Just remove my files."
- Hit on the Reset icon to start
- Follow the orders on the screen to complete the Reset task
Now as your Windows 10 is reset, transfer all your data and files from the backup and download and install all the applications again in your PC. Remember this is an extreme method and only use it if you are facing a severe issue with your system.

It has came to my attention that this thread doesn't exist and probably should.
Back in September 2019 when certain details about the KoL dev team were made public, some of the people working on sl_ascend decided to step back from KoL. However there were some of us contributors who wished to continue contributing so a new fork was created with a team owner as this allows people to join and leave without affecting development velocity or requiring users to switch to new forks periodically.
As most of the contributors who left back in September 2019 have returned, autoscend can be considered more of a continuation of sl_ascend than a fork (even soolar himself has updated the sl_ascend repo to indicate this and has been contributing to autoscend since he returned to KoL).
It can be found at https://github.com/Loathing-Associat...iety/autoscend
- We recommend reading the ReadMe as it contains important information regarding in-game requirements and recommendations. It is the landing page on the GitHub repo link above.
- We would prefer issues to be reported through the issue tracker on GitHub (see link above) or in the #autoscend channel in the ASS Discord server. Posts in this thread are much less likely to get a timely response.
- Contributing code is open to anyone and very much appreciated regardless of skill or ability. Information on how to submit a pull request can be found in the GitHub repo under the docs directory.
- Keep in mind that our support for paths and IotMs depends entirely upon the volunteers who contribute code changes. If it isn't supported yet, it's because no one has written that code yet. Support for newly released IotMs and challenge paths will generally lag behind their release while spading is conducted by the wider KoL community but we very much appreciate feedback on bugs or potential improvements once we have some basic functionality in place.
- We primarily target Standard and the current challenge path (whatever that is) for our development efforts. However this does not mean other paths have no support, it means they are a lower priority. Some older paths will receive more support than others for various reasons and we will endeavour to fix any egregious issues in older paths. However bear in mind that the older the path is, the less well supported it will likely be (cc_ascend was originally created to script Actually Ed the Undying which was the Spring 2015 path).

We noted last week that Whole Woman's Health in Minneapolis may soon offer RU486 abortions remotely via telemedicine. These "webcam abortions" are already offered at the Planned Parenthood facility in Rochester. What will be the consequences?
A recent study of webcam abortions in Iowa, which were introduced in 2008 and administered at 11 different clinics by 2010, provides evidence that the use of telemedicine for abortion does precisely what one would expect: it increases the incidence of RU486 abortions, increases the percentage of overall abortions that use RU486, and increases the incidence of abortion among women in rural areas—which increases the overall incidence of abortion relative to what it would otherwise be.
None of that is good for the unborn children who are killed by this chemical abortion method. It is certainly not consistent with a desire to reduce the number of abortions. But what about the women?
Dr. Jacqueline Harvey of ReproductiveResearchAudit.com notes that the study's authors (who strongly favor abortion) neglect the health consequences of webcam abortions for women. The researchers "fail to note medical [RU486] abortions have greater rates of complications than surgical abortions," she explains. "The researchers only examine geography and service delivery, not safety or complication."
In her own analysis, then, Harvey uses "the number of abortions by type provided in the ... study" together with "the percentage of women facing complications from each abortion method (also provided by [the study's lead author in his other work])" to conclude that "the increased prevalence of medical abortion will likely yield an 11% increase in the number of women suffering from complications."
An estimated 11 percent increase in the number of women suffering from abortion complications. Based on data provided by abortion advocates, including one who worked for Planned Parenthood in Iowa at the time of the study.
And that is not to mention concerns about the webcam method itself, such as the absence of doctors nearby to treat complications. "The incidence of requiring follow-up care face-to-face with a physician is greater with medical abortions than with surgical abortions—in spite of the fact that telemedicine is justified as expanding access to abortion in rural areas that lack qualified doctors," writes Harvey. "Telemedicine therefore increases the incidence of women electing for the abortion method with a greater incidence of risk, confounded with reduced access to medical professionals when these risks become reality."
It was for the health and safety of pregnant women that the Minnesota Legislature passed a ban on webcam abortions in 2012—requiring simply that a doctor be physically present when administering RU486—but the measure was vetoed by Gov. Mark Dayton. And now this dangerous and abortion-expanding practice is beginning to grow.

Man Injects Dog, Etc.
The US Food & Drug Administration has, in fact, a Center for Veterinary Medicine. And the US Department of Agriculture regulates "vaccines, bacterins, antisera, diagnostic kits, and other products of biological origin" at its Center for Veterinary Biologics.
Stress is placed on the therapeutic use of human drugs in a standard veterinary/client relationship, where drugs are administered only under the care and advice of a vet. In a perfect world, the American Veterinary Medical Association guidelines for antimicrobials would be followed to the letter. But that's sometimes countermanded by our seemingly universal guideline, "If one is good, two is better" that governs such things as the application of home pesticides, or sharing Grandma's medicine because it works for her ...
The emphasis on regulating drugs entering the food chain is a good start. We often seem prone, however, to allowing a drive for profit or personal satisfaction to override both common sense and the law. I guess that's why the "duh" principle is seen at work, when the FDA must issue a guideline prohibiting the use of human anti-influenza drugs in poultry, in the face of avian flu epidemic scares.

In January we went to a portion of the West Seattle Art Walk. We started a little late and only made it to three businesses. After the event I marveled at the way these small business owners, artists and musicians had put themselves out there, exposing themselves and bringing their gift out into the world.
Our first stop was Viscon Cellars https://www.visconcellars.com/. This small winemaker has been producing wine since 2004. I believe this tasting room on California Ave has been open since 2014. The tasting pours were presented by the owner himself. A very personable and talented wine maker Ben was enthusiastic and described in great detail the blends used to create the wines we were presented. The one I remember the most is the Rhyme/Reason Syrah which used co-fermented viognier 5% and Syrah 95%. It tasted fabulous but the reason I remember it is the fact that I had never heard of a white and a red blended together. It apparently is a technique used in France but not used elsewhere very often. I love learning something new. We went home with a bottle of viognier to go with our salmon dinner.We also bought it because of the very attractive label and the story behind it.
Artist Greta Musland http://www.gretamusland.com/ was displaying her work at Viscon. She is currently using acrylic paints on one side of the canvas and an encaustic (wax process) on the other. Her portraits of urban wild animals were delightful. She has been allowing herself to be an artist for about 10 years. I find it fascinating to consider what would happen if we all allowed ourselves to be what we want to be instead of what society, family etc thinks we should be. One CAN dare to dream.
Next stop was http://cannawestseattle.com. They were displaying beautiful photographs of a wandering traveler. The one that caught my eye was of a camel in front of a beautiful body of water with arid mountains on the other side. There was a horizantal stripe effect in the composition that was dramatic. Unfortunately I can't tell you who the photographer was since there is no link on there website to the artist and my memory is not that good. A traveling photographer journeying to exotic locales and a cannabis company taking a chance in the current state of legal affairs are both putting themselves out there.
Final stop of the evening was at C and P Coffee where it was open mike night. We caught the last 4 performances of the evening – all guitar and vocal performances. The first one wrote their own songs and the other 3 played cover songs from a wide variety of known artists. I am so glad they shared their gift with us that night.
What is your gift? Are you sharing it and putting yourself out there or are you keeping it bottled up inside?

To many of us, typical Labor Day activities — firing up the barbecue, cleaning the house, entertaining the children or checking in on elderly or disabled friends or relatives — don't immediately register as work. But cooking, cleaning and caring are indeed work and should be treated as such.
Household labor is an essential part of day-to-day life that women have performed without pay for centuries. And it's true that many of us make sandwiches, sweep floors and change diapers because we genuinely care about our homes and families. But this association of household labor with women's unpaid labor and the labor of care, with its location in the domestic sphere, makes it hard to recognize it as work at all.
The unrecognized and undervalued character of household labor is built into our legal system. In the 1930s, many workers gained the right to a minimum wage, Social Security, unemployment compensation and the right to organize and bargain collectively — but not household workers, who were overwhelmingly African-American women. In the 1960s and 1970s African-American household workers organized a nationwide movement to eliminate the vestiges of slavery associated with the occupation and push for federal minimum wage guarantees, which they won in 1974. Despite these victories, even today, household workers, who are largely immigrant workers, are not covered by civil rights laws and do not have federal protection to form a union. Moreover, even when they have rights, those rights are usually not enforced.
Household workers are often expected to work overtime without pay, come in on holidays and weekends and run the risk of being treated more like indentured servants than paid employees. Most live on the margins of poverty, struggling to support their own families even as they spend their days caring for someone else's. English may not be their first language; they might not know their rights. Their outsider status renders them and their work devalued and even less visible.
Many employers believe they are doing these workers a favor simply by hiring them and that without these jobs, many working women would have no alternatives. They forget that it goes both ways: Without the labor of domestic workers, many of those employers would not be able to go to work, juggle multiple responsibilities or have some time to themselves. As one domestic workers' rights organization put it, theirs is "the work that makes all other work possible."
Because household labor is essential, we must value it through adequate pay, respect and labor protections.
Some argue that raising the status and pay of household workers would make the occupation unaffordable, that low pay is better than no pay and that workers would wind up out of jobs. Even if that may be the case, it's still unfair to expect workers to depend on food stamps to feed their families. Employers shouldn't deny their employees the right to parent their own children or create a system of modern-day slavery either. Employers should treat their employees the way they expect to be treated: with dignity, respect and fairness. After all, office workers certainly wouldn't tolerate getting paid less than minimum wage or having to work additional hours without pay simply because their bosses were short on cash.
Fortunately, the movement to bring recognition and value to household labor is gaining ground. Domestic workers have organized in cities and states across the country. Five states (New York, California, Massachusetts, Oregon and Hawaii) recently passed a domestic workers' bill of rights to protect household workers, and domestic workers have formed national coalitions and international federations. Three years ago the International Labor Organization, a United Nations agency, passed the first-ever convention on domestic work to establish for this occupation global standards, including ones for basic pay, vacations, sick leave and living conditions. The burden is now on countries, including the U.S., to ratify the convention. So far, 22 countries have done so. Although this convention is nonbinding, the convention and ratification process is an indication of growing awareness of respect and recognition for domestic work.
Household workers have led the way in helping us rethink the meaning of labor. Many of the problems household workers encounter reflect growing trends in the American working class. As manufacturing has declined in the U.S., service work — including health care, fast food and private household labor — has expanded.
We've seen an increase in the number of contingent workers — temporary, self-employed or contract workers who get no benefits, paid time off or assured work. According to the Government Accountability Office, more than one-third of American workers are contingent workers. The assumption that a person would work for the same employer for nearly a lifetime and then retire with a comfortable pension is no longer a reality.
As domestic workers have organized for state-based protections, brought together workers of different employers and declared that care and service work are essential components of the economy, they are offering a new model of labor organizing that other workers can look to, one in which all work is equally valued.
This Labor Day, as you prepare for the final beach trip of the year or take care of those household responsibilities for the new workweek and new school year, pause and consider the invisible labor that takes place daily in nearly every household across the country. And ask yourself, How much is it worth to me?

After the end of the Cold War, experts who closely studied trends in democratization believed that democracy was destined to sweep the globe. With the Soviet Union gone, there was no clear ideological force opposed to democracy, and no obvious model for economic growth under an autocratic government. Democracy had sunk roots in every corner, including in the poorest countries in Africa and Asia, disproving some theorists who once believed political freedom only worked in wealthy countries. The Clinton administration made democracy and human rights a priority in dealing with many developing nations. Malaysia was one example of this advocacy; after the Malaysian government tried to suppress street protests in 1998, Vice President Al Gore, visiting Kuala Lumpur at the time, publicly criticized Malaysian leaders and praised the "brave Malaysian people" who were out demonstrating.
Those predictions of democratic triumph did not materialize. Wounded by the Bush administration's mistaken war in Iraq, and struggling with budget deficits, the United States has devoted less attention to pushing for rights and democracy around the world. To some extent, this retreat may be popular: Polls of Americans taken by the Pew research organization show the highest levels of isolationist sentiment in the United States in decades. But rhetorically advocating for democracy puts little burden on ordinary Americans, and the government's funds for aiding democracy promotion are but a rounding error in the overall federal budget. Still, the Obama administration has consolidated aid programs for democracy and for governance in many countries, essentially cutting democracy assistance. Meanwhile, the president himself appears reluctant to use the bully pulpit to advocate for rights and freedoms abroad.
Malaysia is a prime example of the administration's reticence. Gore had publicly rebuked Kuala Lumpur for its crackdown on protestors. But when Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim faced charges, in 2014, of sodomy in a case that Human Rights Watch called "politically motivated proceedings under an abusive and archaic law,' the Obama administration said little. Visiting Malaysia in April 2014, Obama declined to meet Anwar, and instead fulsomely praised the Malaysian government, ignoring its growing crackdown on all forms of opposition. In December 2014, Anwar was found guilty and sentenced to five years in jail. Following Anwar's jailing, this past summer the Kuala Lumpur government went even further, shutting down a prominent Malaysian financial publication, The Edge, for publishing details of alleged improprieties in the massively indebted state fund 1MDB. The Malaysian government further arrested Anwar's daughter, sacked any cabinet ministers who had been critical of how 1MDB was handled, and tried to muzzle other local press outlets.
Meanwhile, in many young democracies the public, once optimistic about the benefits of democracy, has soured on elected leaders---and on the very process itself---before a strong commitment to democracy has taken root. In general, it is the middle classes, not the working classes, who seem to have soured first on democratic change. Like Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa, and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro or---in the most extreme case---Russian President Vladimir Putin, too many elected leaders have, after winning votes, failed to uphold any other foundations of democracy. They crush the media, judiciary, and the bureaucracy, create personality cults around themselves, and reduce democracy to a (often rigged) vote once in a while. Their path of destruction is convincing many people in their countries that democracy is little different from authoritarian rule---and that democracy may perhaps be even more violent and chaotic than autocracy.
For more on the continuing decline of democracy, in Spanish for Spanish-speaking readers, see my new article in La Vanguardia.

Gareth Farrelly: 'I had quite strong values about how things should be done, and Bohemians presented an opportunity at a given time that I thought was a really good one'Thu, Nov 07 2019
Gareth Farrelly has seen plenty in his interactions with football to date. A player/manager at 28 and recovering from a serious illness with a 90% mortality rate, Farrelly has experienced more than most.
Another talented product off the Home Farm conveyor belt, Gareth moved to Aston Villa in 1992. After five years in Birmingham, the young midfielder soon moved to his boyhood club, Everton
Securing a transfer to his boyhood idols, the Irish international scored a goal on the last day of his maiden season against Coventry City, which maintained the club's lengthy stay in the top flight. However, despite this priceless contribution, Gareth experienced virtually no first-team action for the following 18 months, under new manager Walter Smith.
"During the first year's pre-season, Walter said that I would leave and wasn't part of his plans. I only played in a League Cup game against Oxford at home and around eight minutes of Premier League football that year.
"People tend to focus on a nice thing like that goal, but that's what happened after that. There was a group of us they wanted out, told to report back for pre-season in June, while others in the first team didn't have to come back until 14th of July and that was another way of putting pressure on and to get rid of us."
That precious Everton goal condemned Bolton Wanderers to relegation instead and when Farrelly arrived at the Trotters under Sam Allardyce in 1999, the home fans weren't shy with reminders … Though he did eventually make amends by netting the opener in the 2001 3-0 play-off final win over Preston North End.
"They surely did, even though I scored within eight minutes of my debut against Sheffield United. I wanted to play, so stepped down into the Championship, but didn't feature a lot that year.
"Bolton got beaten by Ipswich in a play-off semi-final. It took us another year to come back up through the play-offs, which was a really positive outcome."
For Gareth's last couple of years at Bolton, he went on loan to Rotherham United, Burnley, Bradford City and Wigan before finally parting ways in 2004. Then, to most observers, the 28-year old's appointment on becoming Bohemians player/manager was unexpected to say the least.
"I made a lot of bad decisions … I still make them now (laughs). I'd fallen out with Sam Allardyce and at 28 had fallen out of love with the game.
"I had quite strong values about how things should be done and Bohemians presented an opportunity at a given time that I thought was a really good one. I was extremely naive and see that a lot in people now, who take their first job after they finish playing.
"Your desire to succeed and your enthusiasm is sometimes not in correlation to the realities of the situation that you're going into.
"It's very hard to develop strategies, build a club and compete when the foundations are built on sand, but I would never regret that. It was two of the greatest years of learning that I've ever had, but probably the wrong time."
Following a short stint at Blackpool, the now solicitor and Colin Healy signed for Cork City in early 2007, but both were ineligible to take the field until that July due to then FIFA regulations not allowing footballers play for more than two clubs in a 12-month fixed period: "As soon as we signed the deal, we were unable to play and it was a huge shock to us.
"We travelled up the country for a Setanta Cup game and we both anticipated to be playing. It was only later that were told that there was an issue with our registration, but it was going to be resolved in the next couple of days.
"We didn't even know what the three-club rule was at that point and ended up having that period of inactivity from March to July … It was a horrible time. I had no understanding of that law, the regulations, what we needed to do and how to go about it.
"It's one of the things I always go back to - taking the case all the way to the Arbitration of Sport. For me now, only recently been appointed as an arbitrator, it's come full-circle."
In May 2008, the Dubliner underwent a serious operation to remove a tumour from his pancreas, which around 18 months later led to a settlement with Cork City over an unfair dismissal case: "I was gutted because after my illness, the one thing I wanted to do was return to Cork and play football, but the club didn't want me at the time.
"The last thing I wanted to do was take a case, but we ended up with a settlement agreed, but then the club went into administration and I didn't receive any money."

What is 2FA in Fortnite?
Chances are that you've heard of the term 2FA in Fortnite. It stands for two-factor authentication and is a commonly used feature used on pretty much every service that requires you to have an account. Two-factor authentication is as the word itself suggests, an extra layer of security. Usually, this extra layer of security is a code sent to your mobile each time you wish to log in. However, the use of authentication apps have been steadily growing throughout the years and is also what Fortnite uses. Apps like Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator allows you to store authenticator codes on your mobile. This not only brings the element of 2FA but also protects against sim card swaps, which text message 2FA is vulnerable against. When using 2FA in Fortnite, you simply open the app in which you've saved your code and type the displayed sequence of numbers into your game. You can also choose to use email-authentication instead, which sends the code to your email. This option is less safe than using an app, as your email can get hacked. To break into your account that has 2FA through an app, the hacker would need your physical phone.
How to enable 2FA in Fortnite
To enable 2FA in Fortnite, follow these simple steps.
- Go to https://www.epicgames.com
- Sign into your account
- Click on your username and press "Account"
- Go to the "Password & Security" tab
- Scroll down to the "Two-Factor Authentication" section
- Press "Enable Authenticator App" or "Enable Email Authentication"
Choose whichever option you prefer. If you want the safest option there is, then go with the Authenticator App choice, as an email can be hacked. To break into your account with an authenticator app link, one would need your physical phone. Popular authenticator apps include Google Authenticator & Microsoft Authenticator. Using these apps are very simple. To enable the Fortnite 2FA inside your authenticator app of choice, simply press add new, often represented by a plus button. Choose scan a code, and point the camera on the QR-code shown on the Epic Games Website.
2FA should now be enabled and you will receive a free emote in Fortnite once you login.

Sun protection – one of the best things you can do keep ageing at bay.
However there are still much uncertainty surrounding this topic. So this is a quick and easy frequently asked questions about sun protection.
Scroll down to find out more and enjoy!
Do you have to wear sun protection everyday? Even when it's cloudy?
Yes, even if it's cloudy or you can't see the sun. The sun's ray are able to penetrate the clouds. So if you're outside, by the window or in a car, you'll be exposed to the sun.
It's good to make a habit of wearing sun protection everyday, as cumulative photo damage will add up over time, causing pigmentation, discolouration, collagen breakdown, damaged skin texture, etc.
What's the minimum SPF to wear?
Do go for broad spectrum of SPF 30 or higher. SPF 30 blocks about 97% of the sun's rays.
It's very important that you only go for sunscreens that are broad spectrum (i.e. blocks both UVA and UVB).
Should you go for sunscreen with SPF 100?
Truth is, sunscreen with SPF values 30 to 50 will offer adequate sunburn protection, even if you're very sensitive to sunburn. The extra protection that a SPF 100 sunscreen offers you is negligible. Properly applied, SPF 30 sunscreen blocks 97% of sunburn rays; SPF 50 sunscreen blocks 98% whereas SPF 100 blocks 99%.
High SPF products also have a higher chance of causing you skin irritation due to the higher concentration sun filtering chemicals present.
How often do you have to reapply your sunscreen?
It depends what you're doing. For example if you work indoors in a cool environment (not much sweating involved), then reapplication isn't necessary. Do however make sure that you've got all exposed area covered.
If you're going outside, then do remember to bring your sunscreen along. You should reapply after any activities that might compromise your layer of sunscreen (for e.g. after any water activities, sweating, etc).
