Reading is the one thing which kept me sane growing up. Reading a book meant i left my present world and joined a world where i could do anything, be anything or anyone. It felt like the best escape and to this day it still does. Reading was my everything and so doing this list meant that i really struggled. So here is my shortlist of 10 books that i loved to read whilst growing up:
- Naughtiest Girl at School by Enid Blyton
- Harry Potter series by J K Rowling
- Famous Five series by Enid Blyton
- The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe by C. S. Lewis
- Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
- Everything ever written by Roald Dahl
- His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman
- Charlotte's Web by E B White
- Superfudge by Judy Blume
- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
I hope you enjoyed this post and don't forget to give me a like or a follow if you did,

Connection Diagrams and Connector Pinouts
All Seed Robotics models come standard with USB interface and one main interface (the main connector), with a logical interface selected by the customer: One Wire TTL, Full Duplex TTL or RS485.
In addition an Optional Bluetooth Module can be installed on the unit and connects to any terminal that supports the Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port) Profile.
Below we detail the connector types for the units and connection diagrams with the most commonly used tools.
About Supplying Power
External power must always be supplied through the main connector port (the one with the 3 pin or 4 pin connector).
If you intend on using other interfaces for control (such as USB or Bluetooth), power must still be applied through this connector on the VDD and GND pins.
Acceptable voltage range is typically 9V~24V. Please refer to the documentation of your specific model for the exact voltage range accepted.
Main Connector: One Wire TTL UART Interface
The One Wire TTL Serial (UART) interface enables daisy chained connection of multiple units. This interface operates natively at 3.3V but it is tolerant to 5V, for interfacing with devices with 5V TTL logic.
This interface option is directly compatible with Robotis Dynamixel AX, MX series of servos. It can also connect to XL and XM series of servos provided you create a necessary adapter cable or board to connect them.
It is important to note that this connection uses only 1 wire for DATA, which means a special adapter (or appropriate code for switching TX/RX on and off) is required to control the line switching between RX and TX. The unit already includes the necessary pull-up (10KOhm) on the DATA line.
The most common adapters and connection methods are shown below.
Robotis USB2Dynamixel and SMPS2Dynamixel:
Xevel Labs USB2AX:
Connect to an existing Dynamixel Servo Chain or Dynamixel based Robot:
Connector pinout for One Wire TTL UART signal level interface:
Main Connector: RS485 UART Serial Interface
The RS485 interface uses a differential pair to operate in half duplex mode. In this mode operation on a daisy chained environment is possible.
This connector option is directly compatible with Robotis MX, RX series of servos. It can also connect to XM series of servos provided you create a necessary adapter cable to connect them (the XM series uses a different connector, but the signal levels/interface is the same - RS485).
IMPORTANT: in RS485, even though communication is done through a differential pair, GND must also be connected in common between the Seed Robotics unit and the MCU. Failure to do so may result in unreliable communication and potential damage to the units.
Robotis USB2Dynamixel and SMPS2Dynamixel:
Connecting to an existing Dynamixel Servo Chain or Dynamixel based Robot:
Connect to a generic RS485 converter:
The diagram below is generic: it is designed in a way to suit all major RS485 converters.
If you have any question regarding connection to your specific converter, please contact email@example.com and we'll be happy to assist you.
When selecting an RS485 converter, please observe the maximum baud rate of the converter. Bear in mind the default communication speed on the main port is 1Mbps. While it is possible to reduce it to a much lower value (115.2/57.6/9.6 kbps) for compatibility with a slower RS485 converter, we recommend 1Mbps or higher for best performance.
Connector pinout for RS485 signal level interface:
Connecting via USB
The USB connector is available on the side of the unit (a small cover may need to be removed to access it).
This connector is a standard micro-USB type connector. Once connected to the host, it will create a Virtual Serial Port.
When connecting via USB, you must still apply power through the Main Connector as shown in the diagram below.
Failure to do so will result in the Actuators not responding and the hand not moving as they will not be powered.
IMPORTANT: you can connect via USB even if your unit is already connected via any of the other ways shown above. The firmware is capable of receiving commands simultaneously from the main connector and the USB connector. This especially useful for online diagnostics and maintenance.
By default the firmware is configured to expose the USB Console over USB. This means that control using the Dynamixel protocol is not enabled by default on the USB port (although it can be enabled if required).
For more information, see the EROS: Setting up the USB Connection documentation.
Connecting via Bluetooth
The Bluetooth interface is an option that can be installed on your unit, at the time you place your order.
The Bluetooth interface uses the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) to create a Virtual Serial port on the remote host.
IMPORTANT: you can connect via Bluetooth even if your unit is already connected via any of the other ways shown above. The unit can simultaneously accept commands through the main port and the Bluetooth interface.
This is especially convenient for online, wireless diagnostics and maintenance.
When connecting via Bluetooth, you must apply power through the Main Connector as shown in the diagram below.
Failure to do so will result in the Actuators not responding and the hand not moving as they will not be powered.
By default the firmware is configured to expose the Console over Bluetooth. This means that control using the Dynamixel protocol is not enabled by default on the Bluetooth port (although it can be enabled if required).
For more information, see Using the Bluetooth Interface Module.

During the mid 1970s bureaucratic wars between MI5 and MI6, Maurice Oldfield, Chief of MI6, used Pincher to denigrate MI5, notably via a couple of stories supporting Harold Wilson's claims that ...

For a small town with a population of around 4,000, the boys in Algorfa are pretty obsessed with their football. The town boasts a modern, state-of-the-art stadium that would be the envy of a few English league teams, and there's a game going on most days, whether it's the up and coming boys, Algorfa F.C, or the Lo Crispin Mens Walking Football Team.
If you're wondering what walking football is, it's football for the over 55s, and there's no contact or running involved. It's still a serious workout though, and not for the faint hearted. The Lo Crispin team has been around for two years now, and is a major part of the sporting community in Algorfa. They play on Mondays from 4.00 pm until 5.30 pm and on Thursdays from 10.30 am until 12.00 pm. Then they retire to the Tavern Bar Lo Crispin for refreshments and post match analysis.
The team are proud to display the town crest of Algorfa on their shirts, and grateful to the Ayuntamiento for allowing them to use the pitch free of charge. After being welcomed into the bosom of the sporting community, the boys felt they wanted to give something back, and they got the chance to do this recently when there was a boys' football tournament over the Easter break.
Lo Crispin Mens Walking Football Team financed the trophies, and Committee member John Pratt presented the trophies on the night. Mike Cooper – aka Cooperman – who writes the match reports and tries to keep some semblance of order on the pitch said the team felt privileged to have the opportunity to help encourage youngsters to achieve in the sport. 'We welcome the chance to give something back to the community after they've been so supportive of the first-ever walking football team in Algorfa. Who knows, in 50 years time, some of these boys may be playing for us!'

The Sony PS Vita hasn't been selling well around the world. I think much of the reason for the poor sales is the lack of appealing video games. The PS Vita has been available in black for a while now and gamers in Japan will get a chance to buy a new color starting June 28.
Sony Japan will be offering a new Crystal White PS Vita console for the equivalent of $375 for a Wi-Fi/3G version. The Wi-Fi only version will sell for the equivalent of $313. Sony will also launch matching white accessories including earbuds, a carry pouch, leather case, and strap.
There will also be a special edition bundle coming to Japan with launch of Sega's Next Hatsune Miku: Project Diva. That bundle will get a special edition white Hatsune Miku Vita, a 4 GB memory card, and a copy of the game. There is no indication of the White PS Vita coming to other countries at this time.

Request the US Army to accept jurisdiction over Josh Eisenhauer's case.
This petition had 1,631 supporters
Joshua Eisenhauer is a U.S. soldier who suffered severe and debilitating wounds while serving in Afghanistan. Joshua now suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as a direct result of those injuries and his combat experiences in Afghanistan.
The PTSD has caused Joshua to have flashbacks on multiple occasions, including the night of January 13, 2012 when members of the Fayetteville, North Carolina Police Department came to his apartment in response to a complaint. When the police tried to forcibly enter the apartment, Joshua instinctively resisted, believing that he was under attack in Afghanistan. Although no one was injured in that confrontation, the District Attorney in Fayetteville is prosecuting a criminal complaint against Joshua and has been holding him in jail since January 13.
At the time of that incident, Joshua was a member of the Warrior Transition Battalion at Fort Bragg, where he was being treated and counselled by the Army. Therefore, Joshua's family and attorney have urged the Army to take jurisdiction over Joshua's case so that he continues to receive treatment while awaiting trial before a military tribunal.
The pre-trial process under the military judicial system takes far less time to complete than the process in the North Carolina courts. Additionally, a military tribunal will constitute a trial by Joshua's peers. Unlike a civilian court, the judges and jurors of a military tribunal will be familiar with issues related to PTSD and other traumatic combat injuries. Further, under military jurisdiction, Josh will be able to receive both medical and mental health care. Currently, his medical care is negligent and mental health care is non-existent.
However, the Army has failed to assume responsibility for Joshua's case and is allowing it to proceed in the North Carolina courts. Consequently, Joshua and his family perceive that the Army has abandoned him and deprived him of the medical and emotional support which he requires and deserves.
Please request the Army to accept responsibility for handling the case of a soldier who served his nation well and now needs help in dealing with the lingering effects of his wounds.

ZERO1 '19th Anniversary' (3.1.20) Results & Review
ZERO1 hold their 19th Anniversary show in front of a reported 682 fans at Korakuen Hall. With COVID-19 sweeping the globe, the major promotions have been shutting down operation. Smaller promotions like ZERO1 can't afford the monetary losses and are therefore forced to continue on as originally planned.
The shows features Yuji Hino defending the ZERO1 World Heavyweight Championship against Kohei Sato as well as dream tag team match between Strong BJ and Dangan Yankees. If you're checking out this review because of the lack of Japanese Wrestling, this is the perfect time to jump onto ZERO1 for a truly great show.
Yuko Miyamoto def. Shoki Kitamura @ 9:58 via Boston Crab – **3/4
My general rule for rating clipped matches is that at least 65% of the match must have made tape. Six and a half minutes of the full ten made tape which is why you see the rating. Kitamura is a ZERO1 youngster taking on indie legend, Yuko Miyamoto. I made a statement on Twitter yesterday that I'd take Miyamoto over Hideki Suzuki on the basis that you'll never seen Miyamoto take a night off. That statement is perfectly exemplified here in this match. He allowed this relative rookie (this is Kitamura's third full year) get a lot of offense. Most of it came from strong counter-wrestling which Miyamoto is finally able to counter into offense of his own by rolling through Kitamura's roll through, landing a double stomp and winning the match through a Boston Crab. Really good showcase for the youngster. Miyamoto over Hideki for sure.
Chris Vice, RAICHO, TARU & Yoshikazu Yokoyama def. Hide Kubota, Ikuto Hidaka, Takuya Sugawara & Yasu Kubota @ 10:56 via Yokoyama DVD on Yasu – NR
Only four and a half minutes made tape so no dice on a rating. Anyone who has watched Japanese wrestling for any significant lrngth of time knows Voodoo Murders are for the birds. They jump people, throw powder and have now paid off a referee. I'm enough of a dope to have enjoyed more of this than I'd like to admit but not enough to give it the time of day to explain.
Shuji Kondo def. SUGI @ 10:22 via King Kong Lariat – **3/4
Seven of the ten reached my eyes so there's a rating. Two of the more underrated wrestlers if you're just a casual Japanese wrestling fan. Shuji Kondo was Shingo Takagi before Shingo Takagi for Toryumon. He got the boot in 2004 and has gone on to have success in both AJPW and WRESTLE-1. SUGI is a gifted junior heavyweight who has had his fair share of controversy as well making this a better pairing in more ways than one. If you can get past SUGI's shoddy selling and focus on his acrobatics, there's a lot to like here. Kondo was trained to be a base for small guys like SUGI so you're seeing springboard spots getting caught and turned into powerbombs. SUGI's popular spot is running halfway down the top rope before launching off into a dropkick. There's a lot of cool spots here so if it's your first time seeing these guys you'll leave impressed. Kondo walks off without a care in the world after having won via the King Kong Lariat.
Towa Iwasaki & Tsugutaka Sato def. Shinjiro Otani & Tatsuhito Takaiwa @ 15:51 via Iwasaki Backdrop Hold on Takaiwa – ***1/4
This is the first and only match on the show that didn't receive any clipping. This is because ZERO1 want to show off their newest project, Toa Iwasaki. They started his year by having him face off in a singles match against ZERO1 legend, Kohei Sato, who is challenging for the title on this show. Here he's going against two more of the promotions legends. Otani & Takaiwa started their careers in NJPW where they're multiple time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champions and just earlier this year were featured on Jushin 'Thunder' Liger's retirement match. They still wrestle with the same amount of saltiness they did when they were kids.
Takaiwa may be the meanest man in all of pro wrestling. The guy hits drivers for days, showing no remourse for any neck he comes in contact with. The focus of the match revolved around Iwasaki needing to prove his toughness against the surly veterans. I've always like Iwasaki but they're going too heavy-handed with this push. They've basically given him the exact image as Kazuchika Okada which is extremely off-putting. Just let the guy be the guy. Oh and Sato is in the match. He came in to help Iwasaki pick up the win at the end. I liked this match because Otani and Takaiwa are the guys but Iwasaki's Okada look isn't doing him any favors. The crowd didn't react like you'd have wanted for a win of this size. He goes face-to-face with Otani after the match who the kicks the bottom turnbuckle and stomps off.
Iwasaki takes the microphone and addresses his win before handing it over to Shoki Kitamura who announces the trio of him, Iwasaki & Sato as New Spirits. The talent is there but Iwasaki needs to make that announcement himself and show confidence. His lack of confidence is why they've dressed him up as Okada.
Strong BJ (Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi) vs Dangan Yankees (Masato Tanaka & Takashi Sugiura) – 30 Minute Draw – ****3/4
We wound up getting twenty-four of the thirty minutes which is a shame considering the drama would have been even higher had we seen the full match. Billed as a first time ever dream match, the Dangan Yankees join forces once more to take on Strong BJ. Tanaka & Sugiura teamed up a lot back in 2014 & 15 but wound up going their separate ways. Strong BJ were a popular team back then too but have since began to split as well. This is a match that should have happened five years ago but no one is complaining that we get to see it in 2020. My favorite match of last year was Sekimoto & WALTER vs Okabayashi & Hino so this pairing is right up my alley.
A heavy dose of big dick energy, as you'd expect in a match between three bona fide legends and Yuji Okabayashi, one of the most consistent guys on the planet right now. Massive men slamming their parts against each other is everything I can ask for and then some. It's impossible to overstate or overrate the girth of these men. For them to go at this pace for 30 minutes at their age, with the longevity they've been doing this is insane. This is something you have to watch in order to really appreciate what's going on. There's no doubt in my mind that this would have been my match of the year had we been able to see the full match. Whether your fandom is young or old, this will never not be impressive to see.
ZERO1 World Heavyweight Championship
Kohei Sato def. Yuji Hino (c) @ 19:19 via German Suplex – ****3/4
My favorte wrestler on the planet takes on the guy who brought me into a world deeper than NJPW/Dragon Gate. For my money, no one in the world is better than Yuji Hino right now. He clicks all the boxes I want out of a heavyweight professional wrestler. Kohei Sato is arguably the scariest man in wrestling but up against Hino, he comes off like a poser. The fans can be heard cackling when these two begin trading overhands because they know these things must hurt yet neither man is giving the other the satisfaction of reacting. As the match goes on, these shots take their toll and they wind up grounding each other. Even with Sato flat on his back, Hino is still bent over and chopping his chest.
Sato uses the ropes to pull himself back up, puts him arms behind the ropes and invites Hino in for more. These shots again cause Sato to crumble, a strong price to pay for his stubbornness. He eventually pulls himself back up and gains the advantage with forearms and kicks as opposed to trading chops. Hino is dropped with a Falcon Arrow but is able to backdrop out of the piledriver and the two again start trading shots, overhands for kicks this time. Putting his hands behind his back, Hino invites Sato to continue kicking him, this time it being Hino's stubbornness getting in the way. Sato traps Hino up on the second rope and looking for a brainbuster but Hino headbutts him off and follows with a frog splash off the top.
Hino looks for the Fucking Bomb, settles for a German but Sato pops right back up and delivers a German of his own for a double down. They get back up at six and start trading strikes, this time Hino's chops versus Sato's forearms. Hino plants Sato with a lariat but when he pulls him back up, Sato lands a series of kicks. Hino, in peak Hino-ism, responds with his own kick that grounds Sato and does so again with a follow up lariat. Sato, while being picked up to his feet by Hino, shoves Hino's arms away and bashes skulls. Hino is gushing blood from the head, puts his arms behind his back and invites Sato in for another.
Sato lands a second headbutt, piledrives Hino but only gets two. Hino puts his hands behind his back once more, eats a third headbutt and smiles at Sato who delivers a fourth. Once more, Hino's arms are behind his back but instead of a headbutt, Sato uses this opportunity to catch Hino in a German suplex to take the win. Absolutely insane match. The biggest of all big dick energies. You'll see matches where guys do more moves but when it comes to testing yourself as a man, this is up there with the best of the best. Two of the grossest individuals in all of pro wrestling. This is what it's all about.
After the match, Voodoo Murders come out to jump Sato from behind. Out of nowhere, Hartley Jackson makes his return and clears the ring. Jackson was a ZERO1 mainstay from 2016-18 and he uses this chance to announce his return. He tells the fans he respects Sato, Otani, Takaiwa and the entire ZERO1 family. Sato shakes his hand, Jackson hands the mic to Otani who announces that for the 20th anniversary, ZERO1 are planning to run Sumo Hall. A highlight video of ZERO1's history plays and that's how we go off the air.
Overall Thoughts
The top two matches are going to rank very high on my end of year list. As it stands right now, both are in my top five of the year. ZERO1 offered up the two hardest hitting matches of the year and did so in back-to-back matches. As a top to bottom show, all six matches hit their point. I would've liked if the matches, especially the final two, weren't clipped but with the Jackson angle and the video announcement, it was a necessity. I'm really excited if this was your first ZERO1 show because you're going to see something completely different in the main event. These are some of the most talented wrestlers on the planet and now is the perfect time to give them a spotlight.

Big news from Canada via the Beeb –
Canada's Supreme Court has ruled that doctors may help patients who have severe and incurable medical conditions to die, overturning a 1993 ban.
In a unanimous decision, the court said the law impinged on Canadians' rights.
The case was brought by a civil rights group on behalf of two women, Kay Carter and Gloria Taylor, with degenerative diseases. Both have since died.
Wow. Eric MacDonald has been campaigning on this issue for years.
The government has to write a new law within a year or the law will be struck down.
Assisted suicide is legal in several European countries and a few US states.
In Canada is it illegal to counsel, aid or abet a suicide, and the offence carries up to 14 years in prison.
Which is why Eric got a visit from the police after he accompanied his wife Elizabeth to Zurich. They didn't prosecute him though…but they could have. The worst is, she died earlier than she needed to because she was determined to do it while she still could.
In the ruling, the justices wrote they "did not agree that the existential formulation of the right to life requires an absolute prohibition on assistance in dying, or that individuals cannot 'waive' their right to life".
The court limited doctor-assisted suicide to patients who are consenting adults, who have a incurable but not necessarily terminal disease that causes "enduring and intolerable suffering".
Wo – that "not necessarily terminal" makes it an even bigger deal. There's an issue with stipulating that the disease has to be terminal, given that some non-terminal diseases can be such misery.
The justices also argued the total ban on doctor-assisted suicide "deprives some individuals of life, as it has the effect of forcing some individuals to take their own lives prematurely, for fear that they would be incapable of doing so when they reached the point where suffering was intolerable".
Bingo. Exactly. That's why Eric's wife Elizabeth insisted on going to Zurich prematurely. The reality of the Oregon and Washington laws has been that fewer people than expected get doctor-assisted suicide: once it's available, the urgency goes away.
This issue may be like abortion in the US: it may be better to have it decided by legislators than by courts. Then again it may be like segregation: it may be better to have the high court firmly strike down the underlying principle.

Introduction: Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP NETs) comprise a heterogeneous group of neoplasm with different histological patterns and biological behavior. Only limited information is available on immunohistochemical prognostic factors of disease. Alterations in the cell-cell adhesion system are closely associated with cell invasion and metastasis in many malignancies, including those of endocrine origin. Abnormal expression of E-cadherin and beta-catenin has been reported to play an important role in these processes. Caveolin-1 has recently been identified as a tumor metastasis modifier factor, which might increase the cell metastasis potential through the interaction with E-cadherin. However, the role of caveolin-1 in GEP NETs cell invasion remains unknown.

Catastrophes pose a challenge for any size insurance company. Reliable Property Adjusting, Inc. (RPA) can help ease the burden and make it an easier process for all parties.
One of the challenges many companies have is handling the volume. With that volume always comes rushed claim handling from all parties. Unfortunately, this rushed approach can lead to problems months down the road. It's critical that with every wind event, the entire roof and every interior ceiling be photographed and documented. For every house anywhere near a flood zone, the flood line must be determined and documented. Meeting with our client at the beginning of any catastrophe adjusting assignment to define storm specific requirements is essential to overall success.
RPA accepts the challenge this creates, requiring and providing a more thorough inspection and report without impacting customer service at the time of the greatest need. From our perspective, the keyword in the CAT business is "scalable." We have taken the blueprint we've developed for daily claims and adapted it to a CAT level process. While we understand customer service cannot be negatively impacted, we also recognize there is only one opportunity to do it right the first time. Depending on the location, size and storm specific issues, we document our files in a way that will protect our clients from possible disputes that could lie ahead.
How do we accomplish this? To achieve the proper balance of quality and customer service, RPA recognizes the solution lies in the following:
- Realistic management of our commitments – Extensive time and effort go into this piece of the catastrophe puzzle, including studying client policies and analyzing past storm activity and data. Acting as an umbrella over the entire CAT plan is the core company philosophy of "under-promise and over-deliver."
- Strategic relationships – Reliable Property Adjusting recognizes the single most important outcome of every catastrophe is performance. RPA has screened and partnered with well established outside CAT adjusting firms to supplement our select workforce.
- Recruit Superior Talent –The ability to recruit, attract and retain quality catastrophe adjusters is central to our ability to serve our clients and keep their promise to policyholders. Our adjusters are ONLY local within the New England area. We personally meet with our adjusters and go out with them on a periodic basis to critique their work product. Our adjusters aren't from a distant area, nor are they sitting on a "CAT roster" only to be activated every few years.

A Christmas Challenge
Not surprisingly, I was late in recognizing and then posting about Buy Nothing Day, which was on November 28. I inadvertently participated in it. I don't go to malls unless I absolutely have to, in the instance of, perhaps, buying a pair of good quality shoes for one of the girls since our local shoe store doesn't carry a variety of children's shoes. I actually haven't been to a mall for years and that is just fine with me. I can't imagine going to Walmart or Target before dawn on Black Friday and braving the mad (as in crazy) crowds. Crowds that are frenzied with the potential of acquiring ever more stuff and save a few bucks at the same time. Crowds that have the potential to kill.
In fact, we will be simplifying this year for Christmas. If you scroll to the bottom of this page, you will find a Christmas Challenge. I intend to follow the spirit rather than the letter of the challenge.
I love Christmas. I love the festive spirit, the music, the food, and time to celebrate the birth of my savior, though I know He wasn't really born at the end of December. I love the decorations and traditions we have built as a family. I even love the gifting aspect. I have grown to dread the accumulation of un-needed items, no matter the kind intentions behind it.
With the difficulties that are plaguing our planet right now, including dwindling resources and economic turmoil, this is probably the year that we will be able to control ourselves and take the steps in simplifying more seriously than we have in the past.
So, we will give far fewer gifts than we ever have before. They will have more of a focus on items that we need and are practical, though they won't be boring. They will also be handmade if possible and if it's not possible to buy handmade, we will buy locally. There is one gift that isn't handmade and not available locally that I will likely purchase because it is in line with our values and will enrich our play time. I will make a gift for the girls like I normally do and I know that someone else is making gifts for them as well.
We will have a very enjoyable holiday season, because we will be together and we will also be sharing bountiful food and friendship with those close to us. And that's the real spirit of the holiday season.
Evelyn permalinkDecember 8, 2008 1:04 pm
Ithink alot of people are cutting back this Christmas because of the economy. I hope it teaches alot of them what is really important. I have never been one to buy lots of presents and I have always tried to keep them practical to a certain extent. But this year we are keeping everything as practical as we can. But some of those practical things can be made even more enjoyable like soap. We all need soap, but can't always buy handmade soaps. So wonderful handmade soaps made by my very own daughter makes it a wonderful gift. Not only your soaps, but other items you make as well.
I hope other people go back to simple gifts and handmade gifts also. I love the handmade gifts because someone is putting something of themselves into it.

Shining neon green eyes, set low within their sockets and leafy green skin compliments his sharp almost-human like facial features. This is the face of Uggo, a contradiction among orcs. He stands tallest among others at 6 foot 6 inches tall, but he is more barrel-chested than he is muscle bound. Many would call him huggable. There's something enigmatic about him, perhaps it's his unusual friends or perhaps it's simply his disposition. For an Orc, he often overcomes the initial reactions to his appearance because when you talk to him more than once... you realize how human he really is.

Ok. Though he hasn't responded to my reply to his unjust and totally unfounded accusation that I'm a covert Bush lover (makes my skin crawl & itch & my legs buckle), he apparently hasn't removed me from receiving his newsletters. I gather for once there were no newsletters dated yesterday.
My question still remains: Why do Obama supporters assume that everyone who questions him is either a Clinton supporter (and therefor pro Bush) or a conservative deadhead, or maybe a racist? Nobody's answered this. I continue to be crapped off by assumptions and blind faith. Today, I argued with a Clinton supporter who thinks she's going to make waves. David, as you recognize, it's highly unlikely that either Democrat will make waves unless they're of the tsunami variety.

The latest in the what-do-see images to go viral has been around for over a hundred years. The cartoon was originally published in Harper's Weekly (Nov. 19, 1892), but was based on an even earlier illustration in Fliegende Blätter, a German humor magazine (Oct. 23, 1892).
However, it was American psychologist Joseph Jastrow who used this optical illusion to show that perception isn't just a result of the act of seeing, but that it also has to do with mental activity.
If the participant could see both images and switch between them easily, Jastrow theorized that it indicated a person's creative abilities and how much faster their brain works.
During testing, those subjects who were able to see both images were able to come up with five different and/or unusual uses for an everyday item. But those who had trouble switching between the two could only think of two unusual uses for the same item.
Once you're able to see both, it's impossible to not switch between them. You never look at it the one way again.
TRENDING NOW on YourTango
Oddly, when children are tested at different times of the year, the results vary. During Easter, kids are more likely to see the image as a rabbit and when they're tested on random time in October, they see it as a duck.
It's probably the simplest test you can take that will confirm what a creative and innovative genius you truly are.

Jan. 1, 2012
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Seminoles.com) – The Florida State women's basketball team will face one of its toughest tests of the season on Monday when fifth-ranked Maryland comes to the Donald L. Tucker Center for a 7 p.m. contest to open Atlantic Coast Conference play.
The Seminoles have won two straight games and carry a three-game home win streak into the battle with the Terrapins, who are 13-0 and defeated No. 19 Delaware, 85-76, in their last game on Thursday.
"It's hard to believe the ACC schedule is here, but we are excited about it," Florida State head coach Sue Semrau said. "We played a tough non-conference schedule to prepare for it. Maryland is an excellent basketball team. They have a lot of different weapons and they rebound exceptionally well. They are going to be an extremely tough matchup for us."
The Seminoles won five of six games in December to close out 2011. Sophomore Natasha Howard was fantastic during that stretch, averaging 15.2 ppg and 8.8 rpg. She recorded her fifth double-double of the season in FSU's 60-47 win over UCF on Friday, scoring 20 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.
Florida State will need the 6-3 forward to continue that kind of production against a Maryland team loaded with talent in the post. The Terrapins are led by 6-2 sophomore forward Alyssa Thomas, who was the 2011 ACC Rookie of the Year and is averaging 16.1 ppg, and 6-3 junior forward Tianna Hawkins, who leads the ACC in rebounding at 9.7 boards per contest. Maryland also employs a pair of 6-4 centers in senior Lynetta Kizer and sophomore Alicia DeVaughn.
Thomas hung 26 points on the Seminoles last season in Tallahassee, but Florida State edged Maryland, 72-66, as Cierra Bravard and Chelsea Davis led five FSU players in double figures with 14 points apiece.
Maryland leads the all-time series against Florida State, 23-14, but the Noles hold a 12-11 advantage since Semrau took over the Garnet and Gold program in 1997. The Seminoles have won two straight against the Terps and are 8-3 at home versus Maryland under Semrau.
During FSU's current three-game home win streak, the Seminoles have averaged 80.7 ppg and shot 53.5 percent from the field, while holding opponents to just 53.7 ppg and 28.3 percent shooting. Junior Alexa Deluzio has averaged 17.0 ppg in FSU's last three home wins.
Following Monday night's clash with the Terps, FSU will host Clemson at 7 p.m. on Thursday before hitting the road to face Virginia Tech next Sunday at 2 p.m. in Blacksburg, Va.

Peter Shankman blames ADHD for most of his success. He's best known for founding Help A Reporter Out and as the founder and CEO of The Geek Factory, Inc. a boutique social media, marketing and customer service strategy firm located in New York City.
He spends the majority of his time on the road, keynoting corporate events for clients including American Express, Sheraton, Saudi Aramco, Cisco, SAP, Sprint, The US Department of Defense, Walt Disney World, and many more; as well as hosting bestselling Shankminds mastermind events for entrepreneurs around the country and across the world.
In his little spare time, he is a NASA Advisory Board member, angel investor in multiple start-ups, sub-4 marathon runner, Ironman and B-licensed skydiver. A tweet of his was voted one of the top 10 Tweets of 2011 by ABC News and Twitter.
Peter recently authored the bestselling book Zombie Loyalists: Using Great Service to Create Rabid Fans. He lives in New York City with his beautiful wife and daughter, and two psychotic cats.

He will be live on Feb 16th from 900 AM PT for one and a half hours during which he will answer as many questions as possible.
Hi Peter, thank you for joining GH's AMA!
My question for you is about questions. From the background you listed here I'm sure you have asked many an excellent question, and answered many as well.
Personally, one of my goals for 2016 is to become better at the art of asking quality questions to clients, partners, mentors, etc.
Do you have any tips on how to formulate a question that is easily understood, relevant and well targeted? Or what you see as the core components of a quality question?
Thank you Peter!
Best advice I can give you is to listen first - Listen to other interviews they've done, speeches they've given - but truly listen - too many times we spend time listening only to find a break so we can talk. Truly listen. The questions will come.
Good advice often heard but yet so hard to remember and follow. Thank you Peter!
Hi Peter, can you talk about your view on ADHD, and why do you say you blame ADHD for most of your success?
I don't think of it as a weakness. For me, it's a gift. This is what I'm writing in a blog post in a new site I'm launching next week about using ADHD to your advantage:
Imagine a world where everything moves at super-fast speed. Where answers come in seconds, rather than in minutes, where solving several problems at the same time isn't fantasy, but a daily reality. Imagine being able to use your brain to do more in an hour than most people do in a day, every single day.
For those with ADD and ADHD, that's not science fiction, it's reality. But it's a reality that comes with a steep learning curve. Much like learning how to drive a sports car, those with super-fast brains need to know how to manage them. We need to know how to get the best out of them, without running them into the ground.
That's where I come in. My name is Peter Shankman, and I've spent the past twenty years starting, building, and selling companies, as well as writing best-selling books, speaking to corporations all over the world, going on TV almost daily, teaching hundreds of thousands of people how to do improve their personal and professional lives, and finally, being a husband and a father. I'm also diagnosed ADD/ADHD.
So what's my secret? I've learned to use my ADD/ADHD as an advantage, not as a disability. I've learned countless tricks, secrets, and hacks that constantly improve my day to day life, professionally, and personally.
I'll tweet when the site goes live. Thanks for asking!
1) Elimination of choice: My closet has t-shirts, button down shirts, and jeans. If I'm not going on tv or speaking, t-shirts. If I am, button down shirts. That's it. Anything else, I'd have to think about.
2) Removal of potential hazards. When I speak in vegas, my contract says I don't have to be on the ground for more than eight hours. Why? Because Vegas is dangerous to me, so I eliminate it.
I quit drinking because I can't just have one drink. I learn what works and eliminate what doesn't. I don't have a "moderation" switch. I'm either "sleep" or 1,000,000,000%.
Is there one or two you could share that would improve the lives of even non ADD/ADHD folks?
I'm with you on this one @AnujAdhiya any tips or tricks would be amazing.
My only gift is dyslexia - you'd be surprised how good/bad it is. Amazing for some things...
Hey Peter
Thanks for doing this!
Are there any PR strategies that are emerging and can be effective ways to build relationships with reporters compared to those that no longer work as well? As an example, talking with startup founders and PR folks, the general vibe is that HARO used to be a great way to build relationships with reporters (before it got huge) but it isn't as effective anymore. So they're looking for other angles. Any ideas?
Talk to them. Follow them online and pitch them when you DON'T have a pitch for them. Be HELPFUL. Reporters are doing a ton more with a ton less nowadays. Give them info they can use and make their job easier. End of story. (HARO still works, btw, if you're super-quick.) Set a specific ringtone for the HARO emails.
Don't hate me for saying "HARO-lujah"!
If you aren't familiar with Peter's work - you're seriously missing out.
His "Can We Really Do That?" book was one of the most inspirational reads for me.
The $#!t that Peter gets up to in that book is truly incredible. Really looking forward to this AMA.
Thanks, Anuj! That was my first book - Definitely got a learning curve on that one! :)
Hey Peter! Thanks for joining us today :)
What values and strategies have you learned from training for an Ironman that you have applied in your marketing and customer service tactics?
Consistency is key. Without consistency, you've got nothing.
Complaining is a waste of time. On the bike course in Cozumel, 40mph headwinds, I was miserable, and bitching to myself for an hour. I finished the race - In my head, though, I'd already given up. Imagine how faster I could have been had I not spent all my energy complaining and tearing myself down.
It's supposed to be tough. If it wasn't, it wouldn't matter.
Finally, the problem to solve during an ironman is to cross the finish line. Ask yourself this: Every customer who comes to you has a problem. What is it, and how can you solve it? Can you figure it out before they even approach you?
"Can you figure it out before they even approach you?"
Would you say this requires a level of empathy that most people don't inherently have? If yes (or even if not), are there ways that you could go about developing this within yourself?
Hi Peter and thanks for doing this AMA :)
Impressive reviews of your book on Amazon (Zombie Loyalists: Using Great Service to Create Rabid Fans).
Most people say - "You must have great support... word of mouth.. youll die if you dont" and so forth. Almsot like "Jesus is real, dont question it". Companies like zappos seems to have done well on that idea. But some low cost airlines seem to have done well (measure by profit) by doing the opposite, by charging for support and not be easily reached. Some business models seem to do better with a shitty support.
One could do an AB test and answer 50% of emails in 10 minutes with very personal emails and the other 50% within a day, with canned responses. Then measure how many of the emails converted into sales, look at the extra cost of the faster/better support and make a decision. Thats pretty easy. But what Im struggling with is measuring the long term word of mouth effect etc.
Do you have a system/strategy/advise on how to track and measure long term ROI of different levels of customer support?
Thanks, Sebastian - I'd ask this - How are your customers getting to you? If word of mouth continually comes from relatively new customers, that means your team is doing a good job of keeping up with great customer service. But if it's still coming from those few original customers, and nothing new, you might be approaching a problem.
Do time tests - How long before a new customer becomes a recommender and brings you even more new business?
End of the day: You get the customers you want by being awesome to the customers you have.
I think companies need to start hiring for PEOPLE, not for UTILITY. I.e., I can train anyone to make a bed, but I can't teach someone to have empathy. That has to be bred. Big difference. Without empathy, all the PR stunts in the world won't help your company.
Thanks for doing this AMA Peter. As a fellow ADDer - it's nice to see someone else flaunting it proudly! My question is what do you think of Uber's PR strategy? Do you see things they've done that have never been done before or never been done as well? And what do you think they could be doing better?
I think Uber is doing a LOT better than they were two years ago, when they were the "bro" company that didn't give a shit. At least now they've hired privacy officers, ethics officers - It's one thing to start a company to get laid (as they were quoted saying a few years ago) but it's another thing entirely when your company starts making a ton of money and actually changing industries. They're doing a much better job now. They've still got a ways to go, however.
Hi Peter - thanks for doing this AMA :)
Can you talk about a PR win or loss that provided you with an insight you didn't have before?
HARO once helped a bakery stay in business. Was 08/09 during the bad economy - they were close to going out of business - they got a story in a major national daily featuring them - They wound up getting tons of business and weathered the storm.
You never realize how bad someone might have it. Be kind to all living things. go out of your way to help people every chance you get. You never know what it can do.
Hey Peter
So psyched to have you on!
I was first introduced to you in '09 by a friend in PR as THE guy to follow and read (read all your books except the new one) - they were not wrong :)
Two questions:
a. I read a lot of posts on dos and donts for startups when it comes to PR - in terms of timing, strategies and tactics.
I'd love to hear what your take on all of this is, including some patterns you've seen on mistakes startups make all the time.
b. Who are 2-3 companies/people you are a Zombie Loyalist of and why?
a) Just be smarter. So many PR people still suck - it's amazing. Know what the reporter covers. Pitch them smartly, with quick, bullet-point answers. Don't pitch off topic. Be brilliant at the basics.
b) Big fan of what Starwood Hotels is doing, Skratch Labs, Peloton Cycle, And even United Airlines, because I see how hard they're working to improve.
It's interesting that two of the examples you provided are of travel-related brands. You'd think that travel as a whole would live and die by their customer service and yet we see the terrible state that the travel industry is in terms of customer satisfaction (especially in the US)?
Why are they getting away with it? What can we as consumers do to make the industry as a whole get with the program that Starwood and United are on?
Also on the "be smarter" bit. How do you identify sucky PR people before even approaching them?
Hi Peter,
Thank you so much for jumping on to this AMA.
I'm fascinated by your career and not sure where to start.
1) How did you end up becoming a board member at NASA and have you always been passionate about space?
2) As an angel investor, board member of NASA and beneficiary/sufferer of ADHD - what do you think we can expect from the future of technological innovation (whether that be artificial intelligence, gene up-regulation or just ways to improve peoples lives)? And what would you like to see?
1) For me, it's all about meeting new people, learning about them, and listening to them. It's also about taking the first meeting. NASA came about because I met someone who heard I had a cat named NASA. Her husband worked for NASA. I met him. One thing led to another. :)
2) I'd love to see a world where my phone gets smarter about what I want it to do - i.e., if I've been talking to "Meagan," for the past few weeks, on and off, when I pick up my phone, it should show me the numbers of the top three people I've been most recently interacting with. And that should all be fluid, changing as I change.
No doubt Google will get there first. They're also doing it in fun other ways, like tying in google maps to where your friends go. It's just a matter of time.
Do you think Google Now is going in this direction? Any specific startups you know of trying to address this?
Hi Peter,
Thanks for doing this AMA...
This may be an existential question but what does public relations mean to you?
The ability to get your message in front of the right audience in such a way that they want to receive and act on the information you give, while also not coming across as self-promoting.
Look at what they're pitching previously - Look at their tweets, look at their digital echo - It's not hard to find who doesn't try in the PR industry. Not hard at all, in fact.
Okay another question seeing as you're answering them so quickly Peter!
1) Plasticity and ADHD - is there a happy medium have you mentioned training your brain to harness the sporadic thoughts. Have you had to accept some reduction in speed in order to train concentration and delivery.
2) Do you task switch to keep focused (I do when I max out attention on one task).
3) Have you ever tried listening to YouTube, Audiobooks etc at 2x playback speed - I've found it massively improves attention and recall.
1) I do focus on brain training a little bit - I'd like to see some more true scientific proof that it does something, though... I'd rather just play a video game. :)
2) I do if I'm not writing. If I'm writing, I'm in a zone, and can go upwards of six hours without stopping assuming no distractions.
3) 3x the speed, actually. :)
Boom 3x good work - see plasticity in action, when anyone first listens to audio playback beyond about 1.75x it sounds like garbage and as you say getting up to x3 is possible.
So efficient - glad i'm not the only one.
Another questions for you - (sorry i'm loving this and figured getting access to a fantastic resource while its here is worthwhile)!
1) How do you switch your thought racing off, is this where sky-diving etc comes in?
2) I noticed you have a herculean twitter strategy, as people grumble about Twitter how do you find engagement vs other social media strategies you use?
3) An industry mind or person you intellectually admire?
1) Skydiving. Running. Lifting. Triathlons. Sleep.
2) For me, I use Twitter like this: Having an audience is a privilege, not a right. Before I post anything, I ask myself if there's value in it for my audience.
3) Jay Baer is doing some amazing stuff. Same with Dan Andrews (@tropicalmba) - I'll read anything either of them post.
From just looking at the pattern of articles submitted to GrowthHackers, there seems to be this renewed discovery/focus on customer success, almost like it was being ignored for a while but now is the sexy new thing.
Do you have that feeling as well and if yes, why do you think it's suddenly taking the prominence it has when customer success has always been a pillar of any companies own success?
Because we're entering the customer economy - companies are FINALLY (and it's about damn time) starting to realize that the customers control the direction of the company - Even moreso now than ever before, and it's only going to get stronger.
Forget review sites, yelp is all but dead. When I have a good experience, I don't need to leave a review. The simple act of being there, my phone GPS knowing I'm there, my positive instagrams or tweets, that's all taken in by the network - when my friends are looking for a place to eat, they'll automatically see my stuff on demand - forget having to request it or look up a review.

Fifteen-year-old Zora Ilunga-Reed was tired of adults disregarding her political opinion, simply because she wasn't of age to cast a ballot. After too many conversations ending in "but it doesn't really matter what you think because, you know, you can't vote," the frustrated teen took matters into her own hands. If she couldn't pencil-in her candidate of choice, she would voice her beliefs in an entirely different matter.
Thus, We the Ppl was born. The first episode of the political podcast was founded, recorded, and produced on Ilunga-Reed's bedroom floor. "It was essentially an extended op-ed that I uploaded bi-weekly to iTunes," she says. "I would offer up the counterarguments to my points, but simply by the virtue of calling the viewpoints that didn't align with my own counterarguments, I was just furthering my personal bias in the podcast." One year later, We the Ppl has released nearly thirty episodes and Ilunga-Reed no longer has to worry about content being politically biased. The diverse team consists of correspondents living in red states, such as Texas, and countries as far as South Korea. "As it grew, I was able to get more of a variety of voices on We the Ppl and I became much more aware of moments where my biases would come through and affect the podcast."
Like Ilunga-Reed, all of the correspondents and ambassadors on We the Ppl are unable to vote themselves. This aids in making the podcast relatable to youth, one of Ilunga-Reed's primary goals,
"We're reporting intricate and nuanced political news in a professional and well-researched way without being too obscure or hard-to-follow."
Even as a writer, I often struggle to decipher political news and commentary, but We the Ppl provides easy-to-follow chronicles of recent happenings.
Topics covered range from U.S. policy with China to reproductive rights and many episodes include interviews with politically-involved youth or live coverage of protests in Washington D.C. Some recap recent events in a short five minutes, while others, like dive into why black lives matter in an in-depth half hour.
Regardless of whether or not you listen to We the Ppl (though you definitely should), Ilunga-Reed encourages all youth to stay up-to-date with the latest political news, "Scroll through some BuzzFeed headlines in the morning or read The Economist cover to cover. Any news source you can find that's credible and interests you is wonderful. Being informed is definitely the first and easiest step in civic engagement." And once you know what's going on in the ever-changing political climate, take action. "There are a ton of new organizations and initiatives for young people to get involved. You can donate to campaigns, volunteer for organizations, hand out flyers, etc. It's just a matter of picking an issue that you're particularly passionate about and seeking out other people who feel the same way."
All teens could take a note out of Ilunga-Reed's playbook. It's essential for youth, of all political standpoints, to engage in politics. Whether it's blogging or marching or podcasting, their opinions matter and they have the power to create a difference. After all, Zora Ilunga-Reed couldn't vote, but that didn't mean she didn't have a voice.

And the 1st cigarette butt surfaced, which is a sad development, as these shores have been nicotine-free until now.
