13 Signs That Your Partner Is Body Positive
In our personal quests toward body positivity, it can help to have those around us supporting our beliefs and encouraging us to keep fighting the good fight. Since you probably spend a huge chunk of time with your boo, it's pretty important to be on the lookout for signs that your partner is body positive. Odds are you care about your partner's opinion of you, which is totally normal. However, that partner's internalized beliefs about beauty, their familial upbringing, and their media consumption can sometimes cause them to express less than positive feedback about your body or the bodies of others. Whatever hangups they have about their own body can also shape the way they perceive and treat others.
I've been in a number of relationships in which my romantic partner's presence did nothing but weigh down my confidence, making me uncomfortable when it came to showing (and generally liking) many parts of my body when with them. Complaints about my body hair and long, unsexy stares at my wigglier bits sunk my self esteem to rock bottom levels. I feel incredibly lucky to have met my current partner, Skylar, who has always supported me in my body positive endeavors. Although loving my body is a one man battle, it feels amazing to have them on the sidelines, cheering me on every step of the way.
Ultimately, we as individuals are responsible for own happiness surrounding our bodies (and all areas of our lives). I personally think validation starts and ends inwardly, which is why the journey to loving our bodies is mostly a solo operation. But here are some things that I've noticed about Skylar and the partners of certain friends that I've found to indicate body positivity. Here are 13 of the signs.
1. They Are Comfortable With And Encourage Nudity
In past relationships, I didn't feel comfortable parading around in my birthday suit. Even after sex, I would immediately put my panties and bra back on before blissfully lying with my cutie. But Skylar, who is very comfortable parading around their own nude body, encouraged me to keep my clothes off post sex. Now I'm just as comfortable lounging around naked (including in any "unflattering" positions) with them as I am when I'm completely alone. If you can feel totally beautiful, sexy, and comfortable in your nakedness around your partner, that's a pretty great sign.
2. They Are Constantly Taking Photos Of You
OK, so Skylar takes a lot of photos of me. Like a lot. Even when I'm not looking and even though it embarrasses me, they take about a million iPhone pics of me per 24 hours. Skylar texts me some of their favorite shots and loves to scroll through them all with me, punctuating each photo with, "Look! It's Meg being cuuuuute." I pretend to be hugely annoyed by this, but it's pretty damn adorable. Seeing yourself through the eyes (or camera lens) of someone who thinks you're beautiful can do wonders for your self image.
3. No Part Of Your Body Goes Ignored
My partner gives equal loving attention to all parts of my body. It was previously pretty taboo for me to show my belly or have my belly touched by partners. Since I've embraced body positivity, however, I'm comfortable with my partner giving attention to my belly: Holding it, kissing it, and blowing raspberries onto it.
There shouldn't be any part of your body that you love in secret but feel you need to hide from your partner. If your partner is a body positive human, showing them parts of your body that were previously taboo should get easier by the day.
4. You Become Aware Of How Sexy You Look In Everything, All The Time
On my journey to loving my body, I've learned to eff "flattering" and wear what I love despite (and even because) the garment accentuating the "extra" skin around my middle. The admiring way in which Skylar looks at my body in anything I choose to wear has taught me that I don't have to dress a certain way to impress them. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe their compliments, but knowing firsthand the way I look at them — and that they look equally beautiful to me in whatever they wear — makes me snap out of my body negative head space and accept the praise.
5. They Don't Value Beauty Norms Or Body Standards
My fashion choices, tattoos, and flavor for wild lipstick colors are just a few of the many things that set me apart from societal beauty standards. However, these are the things that I love most about myself and unfortunately, characteristics I would downplay around others in the past. Skylar loves and embraces these things about me, and not necessarily out of aesthetic preference. Even if they weren't personally a fan of tattoos or thought this blue lipstick would look hideous on them, they support my choices when they see how confident and empowered these things make me feel.
6. They Don't Care About How You Choose To Maintain Your Body Hair
Before having sex in many of my past relationships, I would clean things up all over with a shave, despite my personal hatred for shaving and hairlessness. If your partner is body positive, they won't care whether or not you maintain your bikini line or whether you rub your fuzzy legs up against them in bed. My partner doesn't assert any kind of preferences over my body because it's my body. It's up to me what I do with it and how I maintain it.
7. They Like Helping You Explore Different Ways Of Dressing
Your partner should be supportive of changes you want to make to your style. As a genderqueer person, it was once difficult for me to be constantly performing femininity around my partners. However, Skylar supports all of my dressing decisions, whether I'm feeling feminine or masculine. They even help me shop in the men's department and piece together outfits from their own wardrobe. If they're body positive, they will look at you with admiration no matter what you're wearing.
8. They Help Snap You Out Of It When You're Feeling Body Negative
Whenever I'm having a bad day and begin bashing my body, they dismiss the conversation pretty quickly. They remind me how beautiful I am, and say it with such sincerity that I can easily transition back into my former state of blissful (albeit sometimes difficult) self love.
9. Your Insecurities Tend To Seem Unnecessary When You're Around Them
My partner makes me feel confident about parts of me I formerly felt insecure of, like my smile. Being in their presence for extended periods of time helps me re-learn what it means to be beautiful. Their reaction or lack thereof to my teeth makes me realize how silly it is to hide my smile, and how beautiful my face looks when I do smile. I don't think Skylar even knows how insecure I previously was about my teeth, but their loving and carefree attitude tends to end the body shaming conversation (be it internal or external) before it begins.
10. They Never Use Body Negative Language, Even When Referring To Others
If your partner makes fat shaming or generally body shaming comments about others, it's a super telltale sign of what they are capable of saying and thinking about your body and theirs. Plus, it's just plain unacceptable. I've never once witnessed my partner making a rude remark about another person's body in passing, nor has that ever been in the subject of any conversation we've ever had.
11. They Don't Use Body Negative Terms When Expressing Their Appreciation For Your Body
Skylar never tells me how skinny I am or that I'm so feminine. They are educated enough about body positivity that they know these things are not actually complimentary, and arguably perpetuate negative ideas about body image. Skylar values my body for exactly what is: Beautiful, cute, or whatever other neutral adjective they can come up with.
12. You Can Rant With Them About Body Negativity In The Media And The World At Large
My partner gets just as tight as I do when people say body negative things, and is totally on board with ignoring or calling people out who do perpetuate these ideas. Being partners in taking down body negative meanies is pretty fun.
13. You Don't Hold Back From Being Your Sparkling, Body Pos Self When You're With Them
You should never have to compromise your healthy self love around your partner. I love looking at myself in the mirror and, honestly, I think I'm pretty damn cute. They encourage me when I make body positive proclamations aloud (for example, "Damn, my shoulders are so adorable") with positive affirmations. And they don't hold back either. Similarly, I don't hesitate to be their cheerleader when they're praising their own body. I love this part of our relationship, and I think it's super valuable in encouraging self love within ourselves as well as in the love we share.
If you ask me, a couple that is body positive together stays together.

In May 2019, the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and Greater Seattle Partners led a delegation of over 40 regional business and civic leaders to Dublin, Ireland.
The greater Dublin area accounts for 28% of Irish population, 45% of Irish employment, and 50% of its output, making it influential in the development of Ireland's enterprise and economic policy. Dublin offered an excellent benchmark for our region's efforts on issues such as economic development, transportation, housing, workforce development, and more. A city poised for growth and success on the world stage for years to come, Dublin is also seeing major population growth. By 2040, an additional one million people will be in Ireland, a figure similar to growth projections for our own region.
Over the course of seven days, our delegation explored how Dublin approaches familiar issues.
Affordability and inclusion in a time of tremendous growth

Sessions such as a panel with arts leaders, a conversation with Lord Mayor of Dublin Nial Ring, and multiple discussions on inclusive growth gave the delegation insight into how our Irish counterparts think about how to keep people from being left behind. For example, Dublin has a capital plan for housing and public transportation, and has created social housing to increase housing options. Lord Mayor Ring noted that housing must be addressed in order to sustain economic development. Speakers shared their support for planned compact and smart urban growth rather than unplanned uneconomical urban
sprawl, acknowledging that while a low density model is popular, it is difficult to meet housing needs with this model.
Our delegation also learned more about Dublin's approach to homelessness, an issue that is urgent within our own region. Speakers shared keys to progress, including:
Additionally, speakers discussed how Dublin and Ireland approach their cultural assets. There was deep understanding that maintaining the creative economy is vital for the business ecosystem: it increases tourism, attracts talent to the area and makes for an enjoyable lifestyle. By making culture relevant for all, and making a strong public and philanthropic case for continued investment in it, Dublin's leaders are working to keep arts and culture a vibrant part of the region.
The importance of a region's reputation in a competitive global economy
Lord Mayor Nial Ring listed some of the Dublin region's key traits: a unique, welcoming city with an open economy that offers access to the EU. As a small country with a large international presence, he and speakers stressed that Ireland's reputation is essential for economic drivers such as foreign direct investments. The country prides itself on being business-friendly, a quality it supports with a competitive tax rate and cross-party consensus that it is politically acceptable to meet with business leaders.
Business and civic stakeholders understand that this reputation requires consistent attention.

At a session with the Dublin Airport and Aer Lingus, delegates learned that Dublin is a key strategic hub between Europe and the U.S., with the fifth most routes into the U.S. out of all Europe gateways. Investments such as a third runway, the first major runway built in Europe in 20 years, will solidify this role.
Leaders also keep the city's reputation in mind as they engage in urban planning, considering how decisions such as mixed-use, coordinated blocks contribute to what has made the Dublin region an area known for vitality and activity. Speakers noted that by thinking about how the physical environment creates a place people want to work in, they are better able to give companies the confidence to move there. The growth of the Silicon Docks also provided a look at how Dublin successfully blends urban planning with vital port functions – an imperative since 90% of consumption comes through the port.
Session with Amazon Web Services Dublin. Photo by Alabastro Photography.
The strong relationship between business and public leaders was on display during a visit to the Dublin office of Amazon Web Services. During our session there, Ireland's Minister for Jobs Enterprise and Innovation noted, "Amazon has established itself as a very significant employer in Ireland and contributes to our goal of building a sustainable economy based on innovation. The company's expansion here is a fine illustration of our position as a world-class driving force in new technologies."
One area that Ireland strives to improve is entrepreneurship. Speakers spotlighted some key areas for improvement, including incorporating entrepreneurial skills into the education system, such as storytelling and raising capital. Other aspects of encouraging start-ups include diversifying the mix of funding available, increasing the presence of accelerator hubs that bring like-minded founders together, and increasing risk tolerance.
Long-term strategies around issues like technology and a changing political landscape.
Throughout the leadership mission, delegates saw the uncertainty and economic anxiety caused by Great Britain's looming withdrawal from the European Union. Speakers stressed that "There is no 'good' Brexit." Roughly 80% of Ireland's exports to the European Union go through Great Britain, and as a result, Brexit puts pressure on this core external connection. Over 5,000 new agreements are being negotiated across all sectors, however, some sectors are already experiencing slowdowns. Our delegation also learned about Brexit's impacts beyond the business world during our visit to Trinity College. The delegation had the opportunity to hear from a Northern Ireland speaker as well, where we learned about the unique complications that Brexit poses here. A recurring lament was that Brexit has taken a tremendous amount of political energy—energy that could have been directed toward issues such as FDI, housing and equality.
The delegation also saw how the business, education, and public sectors are navigating an environment of rapid technological change. At Trinity College, speakers shared that these changes to technology make it hard to teach for 10 years in the future, leading the college to instead teach a methodology for learning new technical skills. The college also has developed re-training programs and microcredentialing in fields such as computer science and engineering. Additionally, the delegation learned about how Irish leaders are preparing a national strategy that anticipates the disruption that artificial intelligence and machine learning will bring to the service industry – a

strategy that includes a significant retraining component developed through a close relationship with academia.

Our delegation's visit built on the healthy existing business, trade, cultural, and educational connections between our regions. Major employers headquartered in our region, including Microsoft, Amazon, Expedia, and Starbucks, directly employ 6,000 people in Ireland. Our links are growing stronger: this spring, Enterprise Ireland, the state agency responsible for growing Irish enterprise abroad, announced that it is opening a Seattle office, and in May 2018, Aer Lingus began direct service to Seattle, its third major location in the United States.
On the margins of this mission, members of the delegation participated in 12 one-on-one business development meetings. These included companies like VHI Healthcare, Blockchain Expert Group (IBEG), Technology Ireland, Parc Aviation, and Enterprise Ireland.
Closing Thoughts

Throughout the trip, delegates observed how Dublin's leaders address issues like these through a common vision and a sense of shared responsibility in achieving that vision. Regional leaders have worked together to develop a high long-term growth strategy that is also informed by surveys and they have stayed committed to that strategy. This regionalism and collaboration make the region strong – and this cohesion is critical since good times and growth can create as many challenges as bad times.

"Thanksgiving is the key to abundant living," said Paul McDonald, interim pastor of Christian Chapel, Columbia, MO. "Never allow what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Take an extraordinarily difficult day and turn it into thanksgiving to God."
In the book, Behind Sunday Smiles, it says one out of every eight church-goers is struggling with a life-controling issue. "Behind every smile there is a story," McDonald said. "Life is not just about bad days, there are a whole lot of ordinary days, too. There are also delightful days. We can experience all three in one day. Still, every day, we can experience the abundant life of Jesus Christ."
McDonald pointed out that Mark 14:22-23 uses the words eulogeo and eucharisteo for giving thanks. It comes from "eu" which means well (as used in eulogeo which means well words), "charis" which means grace, and "chara" which means joy. Therefore giving thanks opens up your life to more grace and joy."
"Is there anything more ordinary than bread?" McDonald explained. Jesus gives thanks for an ordinary thing. This is his 33rd Passover, an ordinary feast for a Jewish man. Yet, this is an extraordinarily difficult Passover. He knows what's coming.
Jesus tells his disciples the bread is a symbol of his broken body, a body which will be crucified, very shortly, according to McDona,d. He knows the betrayal is coming, but also the night of agony praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, the beating he will receive, his death on a cross.
"This is an extraordinarily difficult time in the life of Jesus Christ and yet he gives thanks because he knows thanksgiving always precedes the miracle," McDonald added. "All of God's workings sprout in the soil of gratefulness."
The following are questions to use in discussing the sermon.
What does it mean to have an ordinary Sunday service? Is that all right? Should we always expect extraordinary services? What is the beauty of ordinary?
John 10:10 How can we experience the abundant life of Jesus Christ every day?
John 11:41-42 What did Jesus do prior to the miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead?
John 6:11 What did Jesus do prior to the miracle of the feeding of the 5,000? Why do you think he did this?
Luke 17:16-19 What is the significance of the leper who came back to thank Jesus for his healing?
Matthew 11:25 What has just happened prior to this verse? Why is it important to give thanks in the face of criticism?
Romans 1:18-21 How does refusing to give thanks shut down revelation?
1 Timothy 4:4-5 What do you think these verses mean regarding some things that Christians consider secular?
Why should we pray before meals?
Psalm 50:23 What does this verse mean to you? Do you think the opposite of this verse is also true?
What does Psalm 50 say to those who have religious motions down pat but do not have a thankful heart?
What does having a thankful heart look like?
What is the one thing that we own that we can offer to God? How do we do that?
How can we set aside the difficult things we are going through and focus on God?
How is thankgsiving the key to living abundantly?
How can we experience a new song of revelation in thanksgiving to God?

If there is one lesson to learn from the BA plane which caught on fire last week, it is that the inflight safety briefing needs to be made more interesting. Much more interesting.
The runway fire involving a British Airways 777 last week in Las Vegas brought out the best and worst of those who were there. Taking the latter first, maybe the most disturbing thing revealed by photographs and video footage is the number of passengers who took their carry-on bags with them during the evacuation.
It can't be overemphasized how reckless this was.
It was particularly striking in this instance, because while most evacuations are precautionary and may lack a sense of urgency, this one was a full-blown emergency. The airplane was on fire.
Luggage slows down an evacuation and impedes access to the aisles and exits – at a time when seconds can mean the difference between life and death. On board flight 2276, the process may have seemed orderly and calm. How would things have unfolded, though, had a fuel tank exploded, or had the smoke and fire spread inside the plane? Now, suddenly, people are screaming and panicking. There's a mad rush for the exits, but the aisle is clogged with suitcases. Your belongings can be replaced, and aren't worth risking your life over — to say nothing of the lives of those behind you.
Equally egregious is taking a bag down one of the emergency slides. You can't always tell from photos, but those slides are extremely steep. They are not designed for convenience; they are designed to empty a plane of its occupants as rapidly as possible. You'll be coming down from two stories high in the case of a 777, at a very rapid clip, with others doing the same in front of you and right behind you.
Even without bags people are often injured using the slides. Add luggage to the mix and somebody is liable to be killed. And, troublingly, this is something we've seen on other recent evacuations as well.
Cabin crews are trained to instruct passengers to leave their things behind. The problem is, not everybody listens. Perhaps the most valuable takeaway from this accident is the need for clearer and more direct language in the pre- flight safety demonstration. As they exist today, the demos are tedious and crammed with the equivalent of legal fine print. Nobody pays attention, and we can hardly blame them. These presentations should be shorter and more concise, and among the bullet-points should be the instruction to leave your belongings should the need arise to evacuate.
The BA crewmembers, for their part, appear to have performed admirably. This was a textbook example of what an aviation academic would call "crew resource management" – a proverbial team effort between the cockpit and cabin crew, for which everybody should be grateful. For the pilots, this was something they'd rehearsed many times in the simulator.
Despite how harrowing the footage appears on TV, it was a pretty straightforward scenario – and one that could have been a lot worse. High-speed runway aborts are among the most hazardous manoeuvres that exist. This, however, was a low to medium-speed abort. The jet was relatively early in its takeoff roll, and got no faster than about a hundred miles-per-hour.
The abort itself would have gone like this: at the first indication of the engine failure, the pilot at the controls – in this case it was the captain, though it could have been either the captain or the first officer, depending whose turn it was to fly – would have announced the likes of "Abort!" He next would have pulled the thrust levers to idle, disconnected the autothrottles and maintained control until the plane was stopped. The other pilot would have lifted the reverse levers and made sure the wing spoilers were deployed. He'd have further assisted in keeping the plane straight and made any appropriate callouts.
Once the plane had shuddered to a stop, the pilots would have run through the necessary checklists. Presumably, in this case, that meant the engine failure or engine fire checklist, followed by an evacuation checklist once they understood that fire had spread to the fuselage. Once the plane had shuddered to a stop, things were mainly in the hands of the cabin crew.
For all of the attention being lavished on "the pilot" (in fact three pilots were in the cockpit for this flight to London, a captain and two first officers), it was the cabin attendants who faced the toughest challenge and who deserve the loudest round of applause.
This was, you could say, an incident of extremes.
On the one hand, it was the nervous passenger's worst nightmare come to life. All the statistics in the world can't conceal what a terrifying example this was of everything that can and sometimes does go wrong. Absolute safety is impossible; the occasional accident will still occur, and some of them will be deadly.
On the other hand, and perhaps a bit ironically, it underscores all that is safe and reliable about modern-day commercial aviation. On the runway in Las Vegas, despite a fast-spreading fire and the ill-advised behaviour of certain passengers, not a life was lost. Such an outcome serves as a testament not only to the professionalism of the onboard staff, but also, in a broader sense, to the decades-long evolution in the way air crews are trained.
The media's habitual fixation on even minor mishaps may lead one to think otherwise, but in truth, flying has become a lot safer than it used to be. Gone are the days when ten or more large-scale catastrophes were the norm in any given year. Better training, together with vast improvements in aircraft technology and more potent regulatory oversight has brought us to an age in which major crashes happen far less frequently than they once did.

Wednesday, May 9, 2018
Confusion remains just weeks after the U.S. Department of Labor announced it had corrected an "error" in the implementation of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's new electronic injury and illness reporting rule.
The Improve Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses Rule requires some employers to submit their injury reports through an online form.
The Improve Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses Rule went into effect partially in 2016 and fully in 2017 after repeated delays; among other provisions, the regulation requires employers with more than 250 employees, or smaller firms in certain "high-risk" industries such as construction, to electronically submit workplace injury and illness data to OSHA. The data in question is already kept by employers, but was not previously submitted electronically.
Rule Update
OSHA announced at the end of April that it had corrected what it called an error in the implementation of the rule, which had allowed employers in states with state occupational safety plans that had not yet adopted their own electronic-reporting rule to forego submitting records.
The agency said that it informed state plans that all employers they cover will be expected to comply with the rule for calendar year 2017, with a deadline of July 1, 2018, for reporting. Employers in states that already adopted such a rule, and those that do not have their own state plan, were required to report calendar-year 2016 injuries and illnesses already. OSHA says employers in the states in question who were not required to turn in data for 2016 will not be made to retroactively report for that year.
According to Safety + Health Magazine, the states that have not yet implemented their own electronic reporting rule are:
Some of these states have come out in opposition to OSHA's contention that the rule applies regardless of the status of the rule in any given stated. Wyoming's Department of Workforce Services issued a press release May 2 insisting that the "electronic reporting requirement does not apply to Wyoming OSHA covered employers despite an April 30, 2018 OSHA news release stating all employers across the country are subject to the rule."
The U.S. Department of Labor says employers must file 2017 injury reports online by July 1, regardless of their state plan's status regarding the rule; some states disagree.
Washington's State Department of Labor & Industries still says on its website that "rulemaking activity is underway" on the topic of electronic reporting in that state, and advises employers, "in the meantime, continue to keep your OSHA 300 Log as before."
California's occupational-safety agency, Cal/OSHA, by contrast, said that employers "are advised to comply with federal OSHA's directive."
Rocky Implementation
The rollout of the electronic-reporting rule was colored by numerous delays as legal challenges wound through the court system and the administration of President Donald J. Trump took office in 2017 and re-examined many of the new regulations put into place at the tail end of Obama administration.
The online Injury Tracking Application went online Aug. 1, and weeks later was taken down again over concerns about security. The form went live again in October and reportedly no breach was found.

At the Arnold this year, a couple of younger guys (yes, guys), were absolutely giddy with excitement over the possibility of meeting a celeb. The conversation went something like this: Guy #1: "OMG! I heard Rich Piana is actually going to be at the booth today!"
Guy #2: "OMG! I am SOOO excited! I have wanted to meet Rich Piana for, like ever!"
Me: "Who?"
Both fanboys looked at me with a mixture of offense and horror and hurriedly walked off in the opposite direction. It pays to be too big for normal people to insult. In my defense, I actually didn't know who the hell Rich Piana was at the time. In fact, I didn't know who he was until the other day when the proliferation of 5% tattoos led me to do some googling. My Eureka moment was "Oh yeah. That's that internet douchebag whose 'craziest cycle I have ever done' video clubbed about 10 of my IQ points like a baby seal."
Nothing against Mr. Piana. I've never met him and his fans seem to be sincere in their adoration, so he's doing something right. I just live under a rock (an atlas stone, really) and honestly don't care enough about any strength sports outside of strongman to follow them. Just like the vast majority of people outside of strongman (and even some inside) don't care enough to actually follow it. We're all nobody's outside of our own little niche, conduct yourself accordingly and try not to get offended when someone else doesn't share your passion.
Random thought: Rob Kearney's log press at the Arnold was the 2nd most impressive log press I have ever seen. The most impressive was one few other people got to see. Krzysztof Radzikowski, backstage at the Arnold, when they allowed the athletes to try out the lighter of the two logs (the 385 pound "feather") for a single practice rep. Radz strict pressed it without changing the expression on his face at all…not even a hint of strain. Bastard.
Useful advice: Masturbation does not actually build grip strength. If it did, my first marriage would have granted me grip strength that puts Mike Burke to shame. This is, sadly, not the case. I even switched hands often, and still nada. Not saying that this should stop you from rubbing one out, but remember that you're not training your grip – you're just beating off.
Chris is a strongman promoter and passable masters competitor, having spent his formative years training with Steve Slater. Chris was voted "Whitest Man in South Columbus" for three straight years and was recently named in an injury lawsuit by several Greenpeace volunteers who suffered multiple contusions after trying to drag Chris back into the ocean after he laid down on the beach.

I was wondering, could i make myself sick? Not using methods like, fake it, or stick my fingers down my throat..Thanks
Listen to a Westlife CD. That should do the trick! []
There must be easier ways of taking a sicky?
There are plenty of emetics that are used just for that purpose - but none are nice. Vomiting is the bodies response to some unpleasant environmental encounter (e.g. consumption of poison), so it is not something the body normally does unless it believes it is under assault.You have to also remember that while vomiting occasionally may be natural (although I have not actually done it since my early teenage years), but regular vomiting will cause acids in the stomach to attack the oesophagus, and potentially risk cancer of the oesophagus, gastric hernia, or all sorts of other issues. Not something to be advised in the longer term (this is a problem for people who suffer from bulimia - I do hope that is not your problem?).

Contactor and control overload relays protect machinery from overheating, this includes the machine itself and the bearings, gears and coolants as the relay receives the corresponding signal and trips.
What is a Contactor and Control Overload Relay?
Often referred to as an overload relay, our generous range of contactor and control relay overloads offer users motor control within a multitude of environments.
It is important for users to have sufficient motor protection; electrical motors can be operated safely with the assistance of overload relays. They are predominantly designed for imitating the heating prototypes.
Within our range of contactor and control relay overloads, we feature thermal overload relays. A thermal overload relay is a protective device which cuts the power whenever the motor uses too much current for a long period of time.
These devices are directly related to circuit breakers, in design and in application. The difference being that a circuit breaker will disturb the circuit if an overload occurs for just a second, whereas a thermal overload will cut the power after a prolonged period of time.
Applications of a Contactor and Control Overload Relay
- The majority of the time is to protect a motor
- To detect both overload conditions and fault conditions to then announce trip command for a protective device
- To deactivate a device whenever it pulls high current
- Sometimes developed into microprocessor systems and solid-state electronics

As every year the day of Guadalulpe is a very well celebrated day in Mexico as she is the patron saint of this country.
They say this year it was celebrated more than ususal . Could it be because of the 12/12/12 connection? Or becasue it coincides with the end of the Maya calendar ?Nevertheless for one reason or another there just seemed to be more excitement in the air. Even after the fact two days later the last celebration in Santa Elena will end the more than one week of celebrations, fireworks.mass mananitas,runners and of course no celebration would be complete without traditional food such Relleno Negra
I took many photos during this time but one family caught my eye as they were in the village square eating their picnic lunch . They were on their way home to Hopelchen just 40 mins away from here. I asked permission to take a photo when I saw the youngest runner I had ever seen…. The mother had taken off her T shirt as the baby had gotten too hot!
Every time I asked to take a photo everyone was so happy to oblige like the group of younsters in these photos….. We laughed and joked as their spirits where high and infectious
They laughed when I asked them to turn around so that I could see where they were from and again I asked if they would not mind me taking a picture
The boys had a good chuckle to but all the time with happy faces . They seemed to make a good team . When I asked where are the men!!! They giggled and said there arent any!!
Also the mode of transport varies from group to group . It could be a bus,car,truck or just bicycles . They use whatever is available to transport them from one place to another.
Then nothing is complete without the usual celebrations of firecrackers ,mananitas(songs) parades from the local church The celebrations continues until the end of the week way after the day of Guadalupe but thats how things go here .From this festival they then go straight into the christmas themeI will write the next blog on this .So watch out for it!!!

I recently had a visit from a very able student, who through lack of planning and diligent preparation had made life difficult for herself. It is a few weeks to exam-time and looking at her lecture notes she could make no sense of them. She had forgotten every thing she wrote!
Now her friend had been methodical and immediately after her lectures had written up her notes fully so that she could understand them. She then made a point of reading through her notes often, which allowed the details to sink into her memory and reinforce her learning. So that when exam-time came she was able to revise easily and sit the exam with confidence.
We are all different and sometimes we make life harder for ourselves and don't plan our projects and new ventures so that we can achieve the best possible results in the least time. We need to look at the bigger picture and decide on a strategy before we begin, in order to reach our goals in the shortest easiest way.
The time spent planning is worth its weight in gold and is far better than blindly pushing on and hoping for the best. Viewed in retrospect we can see what we could have done. When you work a plan you can see what isn't working and adjust you plan to rectify the problem.
It isn't until we "get serious", make a plan and stick to it with determination and passion and a clear view of the goal ahead that we make really progress.
Just try this and see what a difference it makes.
Review your overall plan and break it down into individual tasks, with time allotted. Work out the best strategies to achieve your goals, decide on tasks that suit your ability and strengths, outsource or find help for problem areas.
Work on your project diligently and with passion, visualize daily how great it will be to live your dream. Belief in yourself and see the amazing difference this will make to your progress.
I have 3 books I would like to recommend:
"The Power of your subconscious mind" by Joseph Murphy
This is a book I have read many times, I feel the mind is little understood and we are capable of so much more than we think we can. It is highly motivational.
"Psycho-cybernetics 2000" by Maxwell Maltz
You may find several additions of his book. It will help you develop a plan of action, offers anti-stress techniques and personal development. It has been read by more than 30 million readers worldwide, see what it can do for you.
"Napoleon Hill's Keys to Success"
This work examines the 17 principles needed to succeed, that he found present in all the of successful
people he interviewed, an interesting inspiring book.
Let us all learn from our mistakes and let this be the year we all make great progress.

Today I thought I'd share one of my own patterns with you, as most of you know a lot of my patterns are very heavily inspired by the wonderful drag queens of the world.
One of the first basic patterns I created was a quote from the famous mumma Ru!
I created this pattern using MacStitch which is a programme I bought back in 2016, it's a really easy to use piece of software for stitchers who want to get creative and make their own patterns.
Help yourself to this free pattern, if you create it please share pictures with me over on Twitter or Instagram! #ObvItsAmyStitches

After a scoreless draw on day one, PSA National 03 (NJ) recorded a, 3-0, shutout against Arsenal Colorado Academy 2003 (CO) to move atop Group A in the 16U Girls age group.
PSA's preparation for Nationals is paying off as it sits just one game away from advancing to the semifinals.
"We have been training and working since October, so 10 months of hard work for the girls is paying off," said PSA National 03 head coach John Newman. "The girls are focused on the job at hand to be National Champions. They know it is important to score early goals and put teams on their heels; and we did that at the start at both halves."
Emily Jozak wasted no time off the start whistle when she scored the first goal of the game just one minute into play off an assist from Samantha Moxie to put PSA ahead early. PSA had a chance to extend its lead to two goals, but Sydney Bennet made the save to keep Arsenal within reach.
After PSA controlled the early part of the first half, Arsenal had a chance at an equalizer, but Isabella Henry made a stop to hold the one goal lead. In the 40th minute, Henry made another save, this time an Arsenal free kick to send the game to halftime with PSA up by one goal.
PSA opened the second half quickly by extending its lead to two goals just two minutes in when Caitlyn Decker found the foot of Moxie for the goal.
Arsenal made a push to cut into the deficit the 58th minute but saw two solid chances go off the crossbar or high of the goal.
As the clock was winding down with PSA up by two goals, the offense kept the pressure on as Mya King turned around in the box and fired one to the upper-ninety beyond the goalie to give them a, 3-0, lead.
Starting off the game strong is important with any team and PSA was able to use the one goal lead to motivate and push them through to the final whistle.
"We needed to start off the game strong after drawing yesterday," added Emily Jozak. "Starting off the game, 1-0, in the first minute helped us get going and motivate us."
The win earns PSA a crucial three points on the second day of group play and keeps them in contention for a spot in the semifinals. PSA looks to secure a spot in the semifinals tomorrow with a win against Lou Fusz 03 Blue (MO).

Game 1 – Box Score / Game 2 – Box Score
The University of Scranton softball team opened Magis Field in style on Saturday, sweeping a non-doubleheader from Cazenovia. Playing on their new home diamond at the Quinn Athletics Campus, the Royals defeated the Wildcats by scores of 9-3 and 7-0 to extend their win streak to 10 games while also boosting their record to 12-2 heading into Sunday's Landmark Conference opener against Juniata.
Senior Morgan Rentzheimer (Allentown, Pa./Parkland) added to the history of the day by becoming Scranton's all-time leader in wins by her pitcher, claiming her 39th career victory in the circle in the opener. Rentzheimer moved past Sue Moore, whose previous record of 38 wins stood since 1984.
Game 1
In Saturday's opener, Scranton used a six-run third inning to overcome a 2-1 deficit on its way to the 9-3 victory in the first-ever game on Magis Field.
Mackenzie Duffy (Wilkes-Barre, Pa./Lackawanna Trail) scored the first run in Magis Field history, beating a throw home after Megan Zinn (Bridgewater, N.J./Bridgewater-Raritan) grounded out in the bottom of the first.
Cazenovia (6-10) went ahead on a two-run home run in the top of the third, but the Royals answered in a big way in the home half of the frame, plating six runs on four hits and three walks. Molly Hampsey (Tunkhannock, Pa./Tunkhannock) tied the game by coming home on a double-steal before Anna Price (Bordentown, N.J./Bordentown Regional) hit an RBI single to put Scranton back in front.
Maggie Donnelly (New Hyde Park, N.Y./Our Lady of Mercy Academy) and Duffy followed with two-run singles to give the Royals a 7-2 advantage.
Zinn scored on a wild pitch in the fourth inning and Duffy drove in Scranton's final run of the contest with a triple to the gap in right center the following inning.
Rentzheimer earned her historic win by striking out nine batters while yielding three runs on nine hits in the complete game effort.
Duffy went 2-3 with three RBI, Price added two hits, and Donnelly drove in a pair of runs to lead Scranton's offense in the win in the opener.
Game 2
In Saturday's nightcap, Jennifer Sweeney (Dumont, N.J./Dumont) and Meaghan Dowdell (Parlin, N.J./Old Bridge) combined to one-hit the Wildcats as Scranton posted its fourth shutout of the season.
Sweeney helped her own cause in the bottom of the first, bringing home Duffy with an RBI groundout for the first run of the contest.
Brianna Lehr (Byram Township, N.J./Pope John XXIII Regional) came home on a passed ball in the home second before Price delivered a two-run single to extend Scranton's lead to 4-0.
Duffy hit a two-run single to center in the fourth inning before Rentzheimer drove in Morgan Briggs (Nanticoke, Pa./Nanticoke) with a double in the bottom of the fifth to close out the scoring.
The seven runs were more than enough for Sweeney and Dowdell. Sweeney earned the win by pitching five shutout innings, allowing just a leadoff single to start the game, while striking out six batters. Dowdell closed out the game with two no-hit innings while picking up one K.
Duffy and Rentzheimer both went 2-3 at the plate with Duffy driving in a pair of runs. Price also added two RBI in the contest while Lehr scored twice for the Royals.
Up Next
Scranton will open Landmark Conference play on Sunday with a doubleheader against Juniata starting at 1:00 p.m. at Magis Field.

Introduced by Chris Cook, M.D. of Alphia Services Ltd on 9 July 1997
Mr Cook compared the advantages and disadvantages of a voucher system, like that in present use
for on-street parking in Bath, and P&D meters.
Advantages: No equipment and thus no maintenance costs.
Disadvantages: Vouchers have to be supplied to sales outlets and the money collected
Sales outlets may be few in number and only open for restricted hours
Marking of vouchers is confusing especially for foreign visitors as they are not
provided in foreign languages. Errors in marking cannot be corrected
Vouchers are easily copied on a colour photocopier
Pay & Display Meters.
Advantages: Machines can be battery-operated, small with low maintenance
The ticket provided is simple and commonly used throughout Europe. Instructions can
be provided in several languages on the machine
Various types are available from the simplest, which dispense one ticket for one
coin, to sophisticated which accept smart cards and bank notes and audit the transactions
Several tariffs can be provided, eg at different times or days and/or for different classes
of user, eg residents
Excess charges can be paid at the machines
The machine can issue a discount card for a business with the ticket so that the business can
sponsor the machine. The back of the ticket can carry an advert.
Disadvantages: Good signage is required to indicate where machines are located
Tickets can be passed on
The machines hold cash and can be robbed
The total cost over three years of the two systems was compared for a 50 car site charging for 6
days a week at 50p per hour. The printing cost alone for vouchers was more than the cost of the machine. It
is appreciated that sites in Bath are more usually for 5 - 10 cars than 50 and this comparison is being re-
calculated for the Bath situation.
During the extensive discussion, all these advantages and disadvantages were considered.
It was agreed that the simplest type of machine which provided one ticket with an advert on the
back and a discount voucher for a business in return for a variety of coins, but giving no change, was
favoured. Sponsorship and advertising from local businesses should be encouraged to pay for the machine
which was expected to cost around 1000 and to consist of a pillar about 15 cm (6") square and of a
convenient height. Collection of the money daily would discourage robbery. A more versatile type might be
installed at selected locations, for example to encourage residents to shop in particular areas by reducing
the fee for them.

Children's Phantasies: The Shaping of Relationships
Children's Phantasies: The Shaping of Relationships
Everything, good or bad, that we have gone through from our earliest days onwards, all that we have received from the external world and all that we have felt in our inner world, happy and unhappy experiences, relationships to people, activities, interests and thoughts of all kinds -- that is to say, everything we have lived through -- makes part of our selves and goes to build up our personalities. If some of our past relationships, with all the associated memories, with the wealth of feelings they called forth, could suddenly be wiped out of our lives, how impoverished and empty we should feel! How much love, trust, gratification, comfort and gratitude, which we experienced and returned, would be lost! Many of us would not even want to have missed some of our painful experiences, for they have also contributed to the enrichment of our personalities. [ Klein & Riviere, 1953, p. 111 ]
I n her pioneering explorations of the relevance of Freudian theory to the earliest stages of psychic development, Melanie Klein created not only a new system of analysis, but also a new form of treatment . . .

Autumn Statement 2014: Key Facts
Today was the last Autumn Statement before the General Election.
There were a number of very important tax announcements and they are as follows:
Income Tax
Personal Allowance
Very broadly the personal allowance is the amount of income an individual can earn without paying UK income tax.
This allowance will increase from April 2015 by a further £100 than the previously announced £10,500 to £10,600. Unlike previous years, this is also being passed on to higher rate tax payers, although not those with taxable income in excess of £100,000.
Taxation of non-UK domiciled individuals
Currently individuals that are non-UK domiciled and have been resident in the UK for 12 out of the last 14 years have to pay a £50,000 charge if they want to continue to be taxed on the remittance basis. This charge will increase to £60,000.
A new charge of £90,000 will be introduced for non-domiciled individuals that have been UK resident for 17 out of the last 20 years.
Corporation Tax
Research & Development (SME scheme)
SMEs that carry out qualifying research and development work can for tax purposes take an additional 125% deduction for certain qualifying expenditure. This percentage will increase to 130% from 1 April 2015.
There will also be an advance assurance scheme introduced for small businesses making their first research and development claim.
Research & Development (large company scheme)
The above the line credit will increase by 1% to 11%.
Multinational enterprises
A new 'diverted profit tax' will be introduced aimed at multinationals that divert profits away from the UK using aggressive tax planning. The Diverted Profits Tax will be applied using a rate of 25% from 1 April 2015.
Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT)
Stamp Duty Land Tax is a tax payable on purchase of UK property. One problem with SDLT is the 'cliff edge' or 'slab' nature.
This new measure changes the rules for calculating the SDLT charged on purchases of residential properties. At present SDLT is charged at a single percentage of the price paid for the property, depending on the rate band within which the purchase price falls. From 4 December 2014, SDLT will be charged at each rate on the portion of the purchase price which falls within each rate band.
The new rates and thresholds are:
|Property value band
|£125,001 – £250,000
|£250,001 – £925,000
|£925,001 – £1,500,000
|£1,500,001 and over
National Insurance Changes (NIC)
Currently most employers can reduce the employers Class I National Insurance bill by up to £2,000 a year. This is known as the Employment Allowance and this is being extended to care and support workers from April 2015.
From April 2016 employer NIC up to the upper earnings (UEL) limit for apprentices under the age of 25 will be abolished.
Air Passenger Duty (APD)
APD is a form of excise duty which is charged on the carriage of passengers flying from the UK.
There is a reduced rate for those that travel in the lowest class of travel. From 1 May 2015 children under 12 will be exempt from the reduced rate of APD. Children under 16 will be exempt from 1 March 2016.
New Tax Reliefs
New corporation tax reliefs will be introduced for children's television programmes and orchestras.
Capital Gains Tax – Incorporation
There are a number of measures outlined that will affect incorporation on and after 3 December 2014.
The first measure is to prevent proprietors of businesses who sell their business to a close company to which they are related in order to extract funds from the business at a special, low, rate of CGT (usually 10% due to a relief called entrepreneur's relief) rather than the normal rates of income tax and national insurance contributions.
Corporation Tax – Incorporation
This is the second measure and is designed to restrict corporation tax relief on the acquisition of the reputation and customer relationships associated with a business (the 'goodwill') when these intangible assets are acquired by a company that is related to the individuals that carried on the business prior to the transfer (incorporation). It removes an unintended tax benefit where, on incorporation, the individual sole trader or partnership business is transferred to a related company.
Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (ATED)
High value residential dwellings owned by non-natural persons (usually companies) have to pay an annual charge unless one of the numerous exemptions applies. This is known as the 'ATED charge'.
The annual charges on the ATED will increase by 50% above inflation for residential properties worth than £2 million for the chargeable period 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2016.

A abridged version of the 3rd Ben 10 series, in which Ben's identity gets exposed to the world.
Lots of roles will be open, more will be added as time moves on.
Yo. The name is Yoshino. I'm just here to look for voice work and stuff. I don't plan on moving on professionally, but it's a hobby and I really enjoy doing it.
Jennifer Noturne is a major hollywood star who tends to act in a mocking manner to Kristen Stewart, due to her movie being a parody of Twilight. However, outside of movies, she's a kind-hearted soul who serves as a love interest to Ben.
Vampires, Werewolves? I mean, that just sounds like a normal day on set.
Ben Tennyson? You saved my life! How will I repay you? Oh, how about you come hang out with me at my apartment? It'll be totes cool...
The main antagonist of Ultimate Alien Season 1. He's a sadistic, cruel, and menacing archetypical supervillian who seeks only power.
No one escapes Aggregor.
Come now, Tennyson. Allow me to absorb your abilities.
Another Osmosian. Now this, is charming.
Kevin is a 16 year old who was once Ben's enemy, but is a friendly rival. He grew from his younger, sociopathic self into a more mature, less sociopathic version of himself.
More like, they only care about super menaces.
So I just passed by an angry mob, apparently all of them believe everything they heard on TV.
Hey, this isn't Walmart. You can't just take things without permission.
One of the five aliens who escaped from Aggregor, only to later get captured by him again. He's kind of cocky, but also mean spirited towards anyone trying to stop him from getting back to his home planet.
I care not for your jokes.
From what I know about Florida, it's probably better that I set off this nuke.
You disgust me.
Bellicus is the voice of Rage and Aggresion, and he's one of the 3 voices behind Alien X. He tends to yell everything he says.
Okay, let's start off the vote. I vote we kill the dinosaurs. Lazy creatures. All they do is eat and rest. They serve us no purpose!
Ben, Come on, you're the voice of reason. Here me out. We have to stop china from building that wall.
My arguments are ageless! Not like you'd understand that...
Vulkanus is a loud-mouthed and relatively angry Detrovite, although being really short, he makes up for it with his large suit of armor. His voice is relatively gravelly and medium-pitched. Also shares a really strong hate-obsession with Ben.
So where can I start punching Ben, Zombozo?
This new factory will be perfect to DESTROY BEN TENNYSON! But first, CARL, YOU'RE FIRED!
A colonel for the US department of NASA. Speaks in a deep voice and has a slight country accent.
I assume you came here due to the robberies?
Some creature comes in here and steals pieces of that there ship. I was hoping you three could help out a bit.
Well now, this was a bigg'un. He took that engine, and along with all the other things he's stolen…
Max Tennyson is the grandfather of both Gwen and Ben. He's a kind, elderly soul who can kick butt whenever he's needed. His voice is similar to that of a 60 year old, but with a slightly deeper pitch.
You haven't seen any villains try to attack your parents? That means I'm doing my job right.
There's no reason I need to remind you what the plumber are, Ben. I told you 20 other times.
Well now, good job on saving the world. I prepared an extra-special feast for you two.
The Main antagonist of all Ben 10 series. Vilgax is possibly the most evil, cruel, and power-hungry characters out of all of Ben 10. He has a relatively deep voice in most cases.
Psyphon! Why was I an OCTOPUS?
Are you implying that I am not going to succeed?
a machine-like voice that sounds feminine.
Robotic voice effects preferred for auditions, but I'll edit them when it comes to an episode.
Function not available.
Next time you hit that button, I will self destruct.
Serena is the voice of Love and Compassion. She tends to speak in a fairly motherly voice for most of her screen time.
Dinosaurs? What lovely creatures. Why, they deserve to live as much as the rest of us.
But Bellicus, building a huge wall is such a splendid idea. Their economy must be skyrocketing.
I suggest we listen to what Ben has to say. It might be important.
A news reporter with a fairly large hatred for Ben Tennyson. Tends to talk in an angry tone most of the time.
Footage gathered over the past year all points to this one man trying to destroy every single person on this green planet we call home. Now, some people try to say that Ben isn't "trying to destroy humanity", no, they say he's a superhero. But that's not for me to judge. I'll leave it up to you, the viewer, to decide. Ben Tennyson: Monster, Menace, or Just plain disgusting! Call in with your vote.
Charmcaster has the personality of a teenage girl who became extremely cocky, attempting to become the strongest of her kind. However, her tone is rather light.
That's right, Ben. We've kidnapped your parents. How on earth will you save them?
Magic? I'll show you Magic! More powerful magic than even Diagon himself!
All I wanted to do was study, but no... I had to become the best. And why not? I'm awesome!
Zombozo is a killer clown and one of the many enemies of Ben 10. He tends to talk in a smooth, but creepy voice and finishes every sentence with a pun.
Have you two ever heard the phrase, divide and conquer? (Laughs Maniacally)
Gwen Tennyson, did you know there's a... magical feeling I get whenever you come close?
Fear is the only thing that keeps me going, and I have the scares to prove it!
Andreas is an alien that was also kidnapped alongside Bivalven. He tends to speak in broken english, sort of like the Hulk, but is generally a kind-hearted soul with a relatively deep voice.
Andreas hate being kidnapped!
Andreas dislike Argit, but Argit gives Andreas shelter, so Andreas work for Argit.
Professor Paradox is a very calm, and well demenored man who tends to use the biggest words possible in a sentence and sounds sort of like David Tennant in "Doctor Who".
Time Travel is but a mystery to those who do not understand so, but I have 100,000 years of experience.
Now, I understand that this may come as a nuisance to you, Tennyson, but in order to completely prevent the monstrosity known as Aggregor from tapping into the power of the celestialsapien, you must gather multiple pieces of the Map of Infinity to secure an outstanding victory... and no, I shall not repeat that.
Ben's mother. Tends to be very motherly and kind of sounds like Julia Child.
Now Ben, you know that Carl likes to take his car out for a drive once every three hours. Give him some respect.
Ah, Yes, just standing behind my super-powered niece. No problems here.
Now ben, once you complete your schoolwork, we'll go to that Mr. Smoothies place you seem to like.
