At what point is a person justified in using some measure of force to defend against a perceived threat?
Generally, a person is justified in using reasonable force for self-defense when they honestly and reasonably believe that they themselves are under an imminent threat of unlawful force. Different jurisdictions have varying other rules, such as requiring that the victim attempt to flee (if this can be done safely) before using defensive force, and some states having an exception to that rule in the case of home invasion (based on the principle that one should not be expected to flee from one's own home).
One recent case examined whether or not smashing a person's car window (after the driver and passengers repeatedly drove by, in a manner that explicitly threatened to run over the defendant) is a valid exercise of the right of self-defense. The court found that it was.
In this case, a 17-year-old girl was walking down the street with her friend, a 15-year-old-boy. A group of teenagers in a car began driving by, yelling anti-gay slurs at the boy, using demeaning language towards the girl, and swerving their car in a manner that suggested they intended to run the pair down.
The girl picked up a rock, and threw it at the car, breaking its window. Apparently, this ended the altercation.
Now, we all know that a rock is not physically capable of stopping a car. Generally, that's the focus in self-defense cases: was the level of force used the minimum physically necessary to stop the attack? If a person in a self-defense situation uses some type of force which is physically incapable of stopping the attack, a prosecutor could try and make the argument that the defendant was not motivated by a desire to defend herself, but was perhaps instead motivated by spite or revenge, which, of course, are not legal justifications for anything.
The court (sensibly, in my view) appears to have taken the position that the use of force that may not directly stop an attack, but demonstrates the victim's willingness to defend herself, is legally justified in some situations. It seems to me that the law should encourage such conduct when it will end an altercation with nobody being injured, as was the case here. After all, this scenario had possible outcomes that are far worse than a broken window.
While cars are so ubiquitous as to be almost invisible, one should not forget that they can very easily be turned into deadly weapons. If a 2,000 pound machine hits a person at even a relatively low speed, the chances of the victim escaping serious injury or death are extremely slim. Accordingly, if a person honestly believes that they are going to be deliberately struck by a car, and can't escape the situation, there's little they can do to physically stop the attack, so a threat of force may be the victim's only recourse.
And, really, putting the legal issues aside for a moment, could anyone seriously argue with the notion that the world would be a better place if people who behaved like the teenagers in that car had rocks thrown at them more often?

Summertime weather can be too hot to handle for many animals. Unlike humans, most animals can't sweat to reduce body heat. Generally, animals with fur
or feathers, pant expelling excess heat in their breath. Whilst panting compensates by providing an outlet for the animal's extra body heat, even more
care needs to be taken to prevent our animals from overheating and becoming a victim of "Heat Stress".
Heat Stress can lead to general discomfort, a decline in animal performance, poor growth, poor production, illness and even death. The best way to combat
heat stress and keep your animals cool, safe and healthy is with the use of a high-pressure misting system.

What are the main fibrogenic pathologies of the liver?
About 10% of the US population has some form of liver disease. There are many diseases that can cause the gradual development liver fibrosis, that in turn, may develop into cirrhosis. The most common cause of cirrhosis in in the United States is Non-Alcoholic Liver Disease (NASH). Alcoholic liver disease is the second most common cause at 36%, followed by Chronic viral hepatitis (B and C) combined causes 15% of liver disease, and other diseases including auto-immune diseases (primary biliary cirrhosis and auto-immune hepatitis), accounting for only 3% of liver disease.
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH): is defined histologically by the combination of a buildup of fat (steatosis) and liver inflammation. It is estimated one in four Americans, or about 60 million suffer from simple fatty liver disease (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease or NAFLD). Of these patients with NAFLD, about 10% or 6 million develop will develop NASH. It is expected that NASH will continue grow at the rate of Type 2 diabetes in the US, or at about 1.2% per year.
Alcohol: In the US, excessive alcohol consumption is a common cause of liver disease. It is estimated that 8% to 10% of Americans are at risk of Alcoholic Liver Disease (ALD), and approximately 10% to 15% of those at risk will develop alcoholic related cirrhosis over a 5 year period. Abstinence can reverse alcoholic induced liver inflammation and mild injury.
Viral Hepatitis C: This is an RNA virus transmitted primarily through blood contact While many were infected through blood transfusions, today most transmissions are secondary via intravenous drug use (needle sharing), but the origin is unidentified in 30% of cases. The Hepatitis C virus is spontaneously cured in only 10% of cases, and 90% of cases therefore develop into a chronic form. These chronic forms cause fibrosis damage. While no vaccine exists to prevent infection, therapies are available that can kill the virus.
Viral Hepatitis B: This is a DNA virus whose main contamination mode is still via blood (intravenous drug use, tattoos, piercing), as well as sexual contact and vertical transmission during birth. Transmission via blood transfusions or blood products or unsterilized medical equipment. The Hepatitis B virus is cured spontaneously in 90% of cases. In 10% of cases, Hepatitis B develops into a chronic form. These chronic forms cause fibrosis damage. Unlike Hepatitis C, there are effective vaccines available to prevent infection.
Other Causes of Chronic Liver Disease
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC): This is an inflammatory disease of the small intrahepatic bile ducts. It is most often found in women over 40, and its cause is unknown. The term 'cirrhosis' is inappropriate, because cirrhosis is present only in the advanced forms. The presence of anti-mitochondrial antibodies is observed in most patients.
Auto-immune hepatitis: This is an inflammatory disease of the small intrahepatic bile ducts. It is most often found in women over 40, and its cause is unknown. The term 'cirrhosis' is inappropriate, because cirrhosis is present only in the advanced forms. The presence of anti-mitochondrial antibodies is observed in most patients. Auto-immune hepatitis: This is an inflammatory disease of the liver, which can occur at any age, characterized by elevated liver enzymes and gammaglobulin levels (immunoglobulin G) as well as the presence of autoantibodies (antinuclear antibodies, anti-smooth muscle antibodies, anti-LKM antibodies). It more often affects women.
Genetic haemochromatosis: This is a genetic condition caused by deficient regulation of the intestinal absorption of iron. Iron accumulates in the tissues, and particularly in the liver, causing fibrosis and then cirrhosis. This disease is ten times more common in men than women (because of the loss of iron during menstruation), and is recognized in the 40-60 age range. The treatment for haemochromatosis involves performing repeated bleeding to reduce the iron deposits in tissues.
Wilson's disease: This is a genetic disease caused by the accumulation of copper in the liver. The cornea and the central nervous system can also be affected. This is unusual.
Alcohol consumption can increase the risk of progression to fibrosis and cirrhosis in patients with chronic liver disease. Talk to your doctor if you have a chronic liver disease.

Zen and the Art of a Strong Stereo Image
This is a guest post from mastering engineer Barry Gardner who operates SafeandSound online mastering
From time to time I hear a mix that has a dubious stereo image. This can affect both acoustic or electronic mixes.
For acoustic mixes it is often the mic technique that creates a problematic stereo image. For electronic mixes, there are a variety of reasons why bad stereo imaging occurs.
By dubious I mean the stereo image does not have the traits of a professional mix-down. It may be too narrow with many monophonic sources or it might be too wide sounding with possible phase problems, e.g. not mono compatible. This can be due to over use of stereo width enhancers or it may suffer from blanket application of effects across multiple mix tracks.
Make Sure It Works in Mono
When you mix your track it is important to mono the track and make sure that the track does not sound excessively different in mono.
It should maintain a similar tonal balance in mono with some sources even sounding slightly louder. If you have a serious phase issue for any sources they will tend to lose bass or drop significantly in level when summed in mono. At worst, they'll vanish from the mix entirely. So make it a habit to check your mix in mono as it builds.
In some instances there may be a single stereo source that is out of phase between the channels and goes unnoticed. We all want to have wide, punchy sounding mixes and this can be a challenge for the beginning engineer.
After all, there are many technical aspects to learn when you're first starting out. One common issue I have found is the application of a single effect across multiple mix tracks. Reverb is the most common stereo enhancing effect in people's mixes. I would like to take the stereo image aspect of mixing back to the starting point and look at the sound selection. (drum hits, samples, synths, vocals, effect sweeps and other elements that make up your music)
In many instances people tend to start their track by picking sources that they like the sound of. There's nothing inherently wrong with this, it's what we all do. However, it is worth introducing another layer of selectivity when you choose your sound sources.
A Stereo Image for the Electronic Musician
For electronic musicians it is important to understand whether your source samples and sounds are monophonic or stereo. If they are mono they will have exactly the same information in the left and right channels and if they are stereo they will have a sense of space.
If you are unsure. try mono-ing some sources in your DAW and see if the stereo image changes. If there is no change then the source is mono but if the source loses some depth and space then it is highly likely to be stereo.
The reason I suggest this is so that from the outset you will be building an appropriate stereo perspective into your music. Sounds that are commonly stereo (the technically correct term being pseudo-stereo) would be synth patches (pads, leads and some basses), synthetic snare drums, sweeper effects. Sounds that may more commonly be mono may be kick drums and instrumental samples. There is no hard and fast rule so use the mono-ing technique above to find out if the sources are mono or stereo. Doing this results in less problems with phase as you will be avoiding these pseudo-stereo creating techniques.
Avoid the Unnatural
One of the most unpleasant techniques some people use to artificially enhance the stereo image is to put a short stereo reverb on all the drums, the synths and bass line which are all from mono source samples. This produces a slight sense of extra depth. However it also produces an unnatural and unpleasant global coloration to all the sources and has a somewhat "cheap" and subtly metallic sound to the mix. So from the outset, pay attention to your choice of sounds when you are building the track.
If you want to create a pseudo stereo image for a specific mono source, you can use a few different techniques. In fact adding a little reverb is perfectly OK, but limit it to one sound source and don't apply the same reverb to every single source you have.
- You may wish to double up the mono source on 2 channels, pan hard left and right and delay one side by a few milliseconds. (always double checking mono compatibility by mono summing or checking on a correlation meter)
- You can add a subtle stereo based delay to a sound which can widen the sound (often a subtle ping pong with hard left panned delays can do the trick).
- Another technique is to double 2 mono sources panned hard left and right and apply two separate digital graphic EQ plug-ins. Create opposing EQ boosts and cuts to each signal so they don't have the same sounds. At any given frequency the left channel gets a boost and the right gets a cut through all the available bands.
Stereo imaging enhancers rely on already available stereo information in a source. By all means use them sparingly to assist width creation but be aware in over-use since mono compatibility may fail. All these enhancements can be used with care and in moderation with actual stereo sources to give a deeper and wider mix sound. Also, do not be afraid to leave a mono source strictly mono as it all adds to fill the stereo image in a natural way.
Know Your Sources
As well as sources that are very narrow it is worth being vigilant towards overly wide sources.
For example, many factory synth patches are created to sound big wide and lush. In some instances this is overdone and when summed to mono they can sound very different. In such instances, knowing how to program your favorite synthesizer comes in handy.
When these techniques are applied with care and respect to mono compatibility, they should produce a fuller, stable, mono compatible and more euphonic stereo image for your mixes.
None of these pseudo stereo image enhancing techniques replace good source selection stereo imaging.
It is highly recommended that all experiments are checked for mono compatibility either through mono summing your stereo bus or checking on a freeware phase scope like "Flux stereo tool" or "Voxengo Span". Selecting from a wide palette of sound sources helps bring a natural depth and separation to your mix-down.

MWD Extends Greenland Farm Lease On Diamond Valley Lake Property
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California does not currently use a 72.5-acre parcel which was acquired to construct MWD's Diamond Valley Lake reservoir. Five years ago MWD leased that parcel to Greenland Farm Inc., and a MWD board vote extended the lease, Sept. 11. The lease will be on a year-to-year basis through 2023. During the 2018-2019 lease term Greenland Farm will pay the water district $14,137, and the lease includes a 3 percent annual rent increase. The year-to-year basis allows MWD to end the lease before 2023 if the water district needs the land for reservoir or other use, and termination for cause can be given with a 30-day notice.

by sharing several holiday music tracks from MMOs, and this year I thought I'd keep the tradition alive. It's not always the easiest thing to find holiday-specific music from these games, as not every game bothers to make new tunes for time-limited events. Still, there are a few that have been sitting in my folders for a while that I'd like to share, including one very special piece of music that pretty much nobody's ever heard before.
So as we wind down the year and relax with friends and family, I'm volunteering myself to be the DJ at your abode. Just put these tunes on and mix up a batch of your best egg nog because the two will be a combination that will make your relatives rave about your refined taste.

The next lab meeting will be on Monday November 14, 2011 at 3:30pm, in TASC1 9408.
David Lindberg will be presenting Natural Language Interfaces to Ontologies: Combining Syntactic Analysis and Ontology-based Lookup through the User Interaction by D. Damljanovic, M. Agatonovic and H. Cunningham.
With large datasets such as Linked Open Data available, there is a need for more user-friendly interfaces which will bring the advantages of these data closer to the casual users. Several recent studies have shown user preference to Natural Language Interfaces (NLIs) in comparison to others. Although many NLIs to ontologies have been developed, those that have reasonable performance are domain-specific and tend to require customisation for each new domain which, from a developer's perspective, makes them expensive to maintain. We present our system FREyA, which combines syntactic parsing with the knowledge encoded in ontologies in order to reduce the customisation effort. If the system fails to automatically derive an answer, it will generate clarification dialogs for the user. The user's selections are saved and used for training the system in order to improve its performance over time. FREyA is evaluated using Mooney Geoquery dataset with very high precision and recall.

This Amazing Timelapse Video Shows Maine Like You've Never Seen It Before
I recently realized that it's been far too long since we provided you with dose of Maine zen. Life can get hectic. It is oftentimes complicated and downright messy. But there are calm moments, too. They may feel fewer in number, but when we have them – those moments of beauty – it feels incredible. Hopefully, these articles help you remember some of the beauty around you, but in case you need something a bit more dramatic, take a few minutes to watch this video.
Readers loved the recent drone footage of Maine and so, I wanted to find something else that would feel awe-inspiring, while giving a glimpse of the state we all know and love. I finally found it with this timelapse video created by Charlie Widdis Photography. With some of the most dramatic tides in the world and weather to match it, watching Maine evolve throughout a single day is nothing short of incredible.
My Beautiful Maine – Maine Landscape Timelapse from Charlie Widdis on Vimeo.
How do you feel now? Hopefully, as relaxed as I am after watching it at least ten times today!

Roger Kimball, of PJ Media, wrote a good piece on Obama's policies and lack of backbone when dealing with dictatorial regimes, as illustrated by Sony's cancellation of the comedy movie, "The Interview." Instead of being strong and steadfast, Obama has opted for the appeasement route. Neville Chamberlain would be proud of him. As Kimball wrote:
"No, the real question people should be asking themselves is this: Now that the President is seeking to "normalize" relations with the Communist hell hole of Cuba, is there any totalitarian enemy of the United States that he has not sought to cozy up to?
Russia? check. Hillary hit the reset button years ago, remember?
Iran? absolutely: what more could Obama do to assure that Iran becomes a nuclear power?
China? Obama made a special trip there to agree that the United States to hamstring its economy by adopting emissions standards that China wouldn't have to adopt for decades."

Below is a review from the Japanese national side's tour of Australia in August. WFN also discussed the series in Samurais back touring Australia and Samurai downed by Vietnamese at Windy Hill - finish Aus tour 1-3.
Match reports courtesy of Hideki Miyasaka.
The first match for the series was against the Howlong Spiders. Howlong are the champions from the Hume League (New South Wales). The Hume League is in the Southern Riverina and was established in 1933. Howlong, a former Chiltern & District FL member joined the league in 1953. Unfortunately for the Samurai, their first match saw a convincing defeat. There was however, one highlight from the match with Shumpei Nagasato (Osaka Dingoes) showing great courage in defence.
Japan 2.6 (18)
Howlong 13.13 (91)
Next up, the Samurais returned to Melbourne for a match against the Box Hill North Super Rules side. Tsuyoshi Kase (St. Bernards - VAFA) joined the squad and Michito Sakaki (Wodonga Raiders - O&M) temporarily took over as coach. The Samurais easily outran their Box Hill opponents but were let down by their goalkicking. In the end Box Hill won the match in a tight contest, although Japan had more scoring shots. Hiroyuki Toyama (Tokyo Leopards) performed admirably in the midfield.
Japan 4.13 (37)
Box Hill North SR 6.10 (46)
For the Samurais' third match, they returned to the Keysborough fields, the location of the previous match to face another (admittedly understrength) Box Hill North side. Katsuhiko Arata (Komazawa Magpies), the Samurais' captain, was missing from the squad having dislocated his shoulder in the previous match, but Michito Sakaki's presence ensured the squad was close to full strength. Japan's scholarship player, Genki Tanaka (Box Hill North - VAFA), kicked his first goal for the Samurais in the match. It proved decisive as Japan went on to win by two points.
Japan 5.6 (36)
Box Hill North FC 4.10 (34)
Japan's final match was against Melbourne Vietnam FC. The squad was made up of the best Australian-Vietnamese footballers, with most players coming from clubs in Melbourne's South East. Whilst Japan kicked the first goal of the match, Melbourne Vietnam controlled the game up until three quarter time. At that point the match evened out. Hiroaki Seino (Senshu Power) played his strongest match at full back. Tiredness from playing their fourth consecutive match and Melbourne Vietnam's greater experience were clearly evident. It was Japan's heaviest defeat.
Japan 7.4 (46)
Melbourne Vietnam FC 17.17 (149)
Overall the tour was a great success. Only ten of the 21 players in Japan's side competed in last year's International Cup. Most of the players had just begun University in Japan and had only been playing football since April. Amongst the squad, Hiroyuki Toyama (Tokyo Leopards), who played soccer in the US in high school, was named man of the series. Whilst he was a member of Japan's 2005 International Cup squad, his skills have improved vastly since that time and he is now one of the best ruck rovers in Japan. The ground size in Australia was a challenge to the Japanese players and is something they will need to work on for 2008.

I feel like an important part to drawing is to make your own characters. It's nice to draw inspiration from movies or cartoons you like, but to have your own characters is a different creative experience. You have free reign to do whatever you want with your own characters.
This is a drawing I did about a year ago for my own characters. I came up with a small backstory for them already, but I can always expand upon it or even change it if I want to in the future.
This week, I redrew my characters. You can see what a difference a year of drawing makes, and I hope to always keep improving in the future.

Since 401(k) retirement savings plans first appeared in the early 1980s, they have grown rapidly. Today, they are one of the most popular and widespread employee benefits. A 401(k) plan offers employees the opportunity to defer a portion of their compensation into individual tax-deferred accounts on a pretax basis, thus avoiding income tax on those "deferred compensation" amounts until the money in their accounts is distributed.
Additionally, the earnings on those amounts are tax-deferred. This option of receiving money as either part of one's compensation—as cash, in other words—or as deferred income, is the essence of the term "cash or deferred arrangement" (CODA).
In this article, we'll look at some of the key benefits 401(k)s provide to both employees and employers, as well as some important practical considerations. Many thanks to Arris Murphy, J.D., Contributing Editor to BLR's The 401(k) Handbook, from which the material for this piece originated.
History of 401(k)s
Although CODAs have existed in various forms for many years, federal law did not officially recognize them until 1978, when Congress added Section 401(k) to the Internal Revenue Code. Recognizing that it was creating a very attractive tax shelter with a significant potential for abuse, Congress attached numerous "strings" to 401(k) plans to ensure that taxpayers would use them for their intended purpose—saving for retirement—and not for other purposes, such as vacations or a child's college tuition.
Similarly, concerned that some employers might exploit 401(k) plans to favor their highest-ranking employees, Congress also created a series of rules and tests that every 401(k) plan must pass to ensure that it does not discriminate in favor of highly paid employees.
Since 1978, the requirements associated with those two simple concepts—discouraging employees from withdrawing the money in their 401(k) plan accounts before retirement and preventing employers from discriminating in favor of highly paid employees—have been fleshed out in a series of laws, amendments to existing laws, proposed and final regulations from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), and other administrative guidance from the IRS and the DOL.
More recently, attention has been given to encouraging employees to save more through automatic enrollment in the plan, automatic escalation in contribution percentages, and catch-up contributions for employees aged 50 and older.
401(K) Advantages to Employers
Why should you consider adopting an employee savings or 401(k) plan? Here are some possible objectives:
- To improve the benefits package you offer, at little cost to your organization
- To allow employees to supplement their future retirement income
- To provide a highly mobile work force with a suitable way to save for retirement
- To provide an alternative to the defined benefit plan as a vehicle for retirement savings
- To enable employees to take advantage of income tax deferral
Employee Communication Is Key
Perhaps no other employee benefit plan requires as much careful attention to employee communication as a 401(k) plan. Unlike employee savings plans that use after-tax contributions, a pretax 401(k) plan has no place in an employer's benefits program unless the objective is to supplement an existing retirement program or to provide a sole source of retirement income. When used in this manner, the distinction between a 401(k) plan and an after-tax savings plan must be clearly communicated to employees.
Employees may react negatively to many of the limitations and restrictions of a 401(k) plan. It will help in the communications process if the reason for these limitations is explained in a nontechnical manner. It should also be pointed out to employees which plan provisions are employer-generated and which are legal requirements. This is particularly important with regard to withdrawal restrictions and penalties.
Special provisions governing hardship withdrawals and loans require considerable attention in the communications process. The most important consideration is explaining to employees that what may appear to be their money is actually money being disbursed or lent from a legal entity, the plan trust. The many restrictions associated with loans and hardship withdrawals are difficult to comprehend when it appears that they are being applied to money that is being held in an employee's personal account.
To a large extent, an employee's perspective of the advantages of a 401(k) plan can be shaped by the information provided by the employer and by the design of the plan itself. In their desire to obtain a high level of employee participation, some employers have tried to present 401(k) plans as vehicles to save and to accumulate tax-deferred earnings, but have failed to point out that this savings is for retirement. Nevertheless, as long as all rules are communicated, employees can enjoy all the benefits of participating in a 401(k) plan:
- Saving through the convenience of payroll deductions;
- Accumulating substantial capital through tax-deferred savings and receiving employer-matching contributions if they are available;
- Reducing current income tax obligations;
- Supplementing retirement income; and
- Saving for large near-term objectives such as paying for a home or college education.
This last objective deserves special attention. Although it is a very common employee objective, it may be an inappropriate reason for participating in a 401(k) plan because making a withdrawal from a 401(k) plan before age 59½ generally results in tax penalties. Also, deferring income for only 5 or 10 years and making a withdrawal (assuming that hardship withdrawals are permitted under the plan) while a participant is still actively employed may mean having to pay more income tax, not less, if tax rates rise.
Alternatives to 401(k)s
Employers that are concerned about allowing employees to meet different objectives through a 401(k) plan should seriously consider establishing an employee savings plan that allows both before-tax and after-tax savings. Recently, employers also have established in-plan Roth accounts, which require a current income tax on the amount contributed but permit tax-free distributions of the contribution amount and earnings in retirement.
These alternatives provide a savings vehicle for employees with near-term objectives and for employees who want to save for retirement but would rather be assured of penalty/tax-free access to their money for emergencies.

Inspired to walk the Camino
Pine Wood, Ontario
A letter came in from a Chris Andrews. Here it is:
You are awesome. Over the last five years, when I was told of a pilgrimage called the Camino Santiago, I often joked about doing it. That started to slowly change over the last five years, for I am starting to plan to do it likely in 2014 if I'm lucky.
I saw an article about you in my local newspaper, and I agree with your comment about being boxed up. I'm not a religious man, but I would like some spiritual connection to this planet. I could go on all day about my reasons and choice for the Camino. It feels right to do what others have done for over a thousand years. It is safe. There is good infrastructure to support its pilgrims. I've also never been
overseas. The pilgrimage is starting to gain popularity again. Your efforts will be noticed. People are going to realize that we need to consume less and love more.
Safe journey!
Thank you Chris for the encouraging words.
I received in less words (and on the road) the same kind of kindness from an elderly gentleman who remembers me from 2003. He offered me juice and a congratulations. James, a drug councillor, also pulled over for more dialogue. The policy of give and take is always a real dialogue. It is reflective of a remark by sage Rupa Goswami who expressed in Sanskrit dadhati prati grhnati (give and receive).
Here's where the day got the greatest. At Little Beaver Cultural Centre in Fort Francis, Jenny had arranged, quite spontaneously, a gathering of people from her mailing list. It was a wonderful experience having people chant. But, earlier in the day we spent an equal amount of time at Jackie's home for the most casual interview for a newspaper. That was in Rainy River. Her opening question was, "What's it like living in a monastery?" The conversation took off from there. She and her daughter were so hospitable.

I's can walk I's can walk!! It's been 7.5 weeks and my broken foot is nearly healed!!! Soo excited that I can put pressure on my foot. Baking (& life in general) is easy again yaaaayayayayy. Kitchen fun times ensued. I made these blueberry coconut protein bars. They're reeeeally good. And yeah. Yay. Yay. Yee. Woo. Although…I somehow dropped a tube of sprinkles in the process. On hardwood floor… Sprinkles. Everywhere. Tiny, spherical sprinkles. In my kitchen & living room. Everywhere. Worth? Yes. I took it as a sign though that maybe I shouldn't be walking as much as I am just yet, ha. I can walk on carpet a bit, but the hardwood is too harsh on my feet for now and after a while I feel tightness in the bone. So I'm taking it slow! I'm just so excited that things are getting easy again. Showering (instead of bathing) is my favorite. I go to the orthopedic Monday and should be ready to start physical therapy! :)
I also posted a video on Youtube with just some thoughts lately. It's long, and maybe boring, but it was cathartic for me. I like being able to be open & honest with ya'll. Topics: Depression, Misophonia, my career (changing jobs entirely), & the future.
Blueberry Coconut Protein Bars
Makes: 12 bars
- 6 blueberry smart bars (Detour Bar brand)
- 3 scoops vanilla Cellucor protein powder
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup almond meal (or more coconut flour)
- 1/4 cup coconut butter (I used vanilla cupcake Sweet Spreads brand)
- 1/4 cup baking stevia
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 3/4-1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 3/4 cup blueberries
Line a 9×9 dish with your 6 unwrapped Smart Bars. This gives the bars a firm base and I LOVE the "bite" it gives. Then in a bowl, mix your remaining ingredients except for the almond milk and blueberries. Once added to the bowl, THEN add the 3/4 cup almond milk and mix it all evenly. Depending on your protein powder and other ingredients, you may need to slowly add more almond milk to be able to mix it. Add 1 TBSP at a time slowly, using as little liquid as possible to incorporate the ingredients. You don't want it runny. Once mixed to the right consistency, fold in the blueberries. Spread this on top of the bars in the 9×9 dish.
I also drizzled a little melted sugar free amberlyn chocolates and unsweetened coconut. Optional, but I likey. Then it's ready! No baking required! Cut into 12 bars and eat immediately, or freeze for 1 hour first before cutting them into 12 pieces! Both ways are awesome.
For 1 bar (out of 12): 171 cals; 6 g fat, 17 g carbs (6 g fiber), and 13 g protein

Men pre-judged on child custody
Eveline de Klerk
SWAKOPMUND - A Walvis Bay father says Namibian men are at the receiving end when it comes to their children's custody.
He says men not only have to fight for custody of their children but are pre-judged by social workers who side with mothers without even giving a fair chance to fathers when they apply for legal custody of their children
Jerome van Wyk, in an emotional interview with New Era, said he was hit with the harsh reality that the law mainly sides with the mother, regardless of the fact that the law advocates equal rights on the issue.
Van Wyk who is currently going through a divorce from his wife of 10 years says he and his now ex-wife currently have joined custody over their 8-year-old daughter.
However, he felt it necessary to apply for sole custody to keep his daughter with him in Walvis Bay as his ex-wife decided to uproot their daughter by moving to Rehoboth as from next month.
He says his former wife will be commuting between Windhoek and Rehoboth on a daily basis and that this is his main concern due to the fact that they both don't have any relatives living in Rehoboth that could help out with their daughter as the wife works odd hours.
Van Wyk feels it is completely unnecessary to uproot their daughter in the middle of a school year and that it is not ideal for her to be left with strangers.
"She is already dealing with the divorce hence I don't feel that she needs to be taken out of her known environment. I also have been the main caregiver to our daughter as my wife was travelling most of the times and was rarely at home," he said.
He explained that his former wife has a hectic work schedule and rarely paid attention to their daughter.
"I am not badmouthing my ex-wife but I am a better parent to our daughter and she knows it too. It is no secret that I have been the one that has been taking care of my daughter since she was a baby. I did everything with my daughter from teaching her how to wash, dress herself. I moulded my daughter to what she is today and I want to be given the opportunity as her biological father to continue that," said an emotional Van Wyk.
He says his daughter also made it clear, to both social workers and her mother that she chose to stay with the father rather than moving with the mother.
However, he says he was hit with the harsh reality when he was blatantly told by a social worker that children go automatically to their mothers.
What shocked him the most, he says, was that the decision was made before he even stated his case.
"I realise that this is probably what men face on a daily basis when they fight for their children's well-being. I feel our legal system or those that deal with custody issues should be trained to be impartial when dealing with such issues," he said.
He says there are men that are doing exceptionally well, even better than some mothers in caring for their children.
"The fact that you give birth to a child does not make one a better parent or a responsible one. There are men out there that raise children better than women and I am one of them," he says.
Children's advocate and deputy chief of the human rights and legal services division in the ombudsman's office, Ingrid Husselman, when contacted said although she had no comment on the specific matter "as I am not familiar with the full set of facts", the law firstly aims to protect children but does not allow discrimination against fathers.
She explained that service providers like social workers would be wrong to advise a father that custody is awarded to the mother without exception or without taking into consideration other factors. She requested that Van Wyk approach the supervisor of the social worker(s) in question.
She added that both parents have equal rights and responsibilities regarding their children. Husselmann also pointed out that the childcare and protection act , Act 3 of 2015 (which came into operation on 30 January 2019) makes the best interest of the child the key consideration in matters concerning the child.
"Decisions regarding the care and protection of children are often complicated and the best interest standard aims to reduce conflict and simplify decision-making because the deciding factor must always be what is best for the child."
She says the act guides decision-makers in what will be in the child's best interest. "The importance of a stable family environment is but one such factor," she explained.
Husselman also stated the act recognizes the importance of child participation and sets out children's rights and responsibilities.
She says children of sufficient age, maturity and stage of development must be given an opportunity to express an opinion about decisions which affect them.
"Such views must be given an appropriate degree of consideration bearing in mind the child's age and maturity. This is important because children like adults have thoughts and feelings, responsibilities and opinions and should not be treated like objects to be argued over," she added.
