Professional Interpretive Design goes a long way with visitors. Impression, retention and readability are staples in our special recipe for outstanding Interpretive Design. We have two experienced interpretive designers on staff, ready to assist you at any stage of your project!
"One stop for your entire project – signs, frames, pedestals, design. Saves you time and hassle."
Our typical interpretive sign design starts with you! We take the raw ingredients of your text (sent the way you'd like it to appear on your sign), digital photos and/or illustrations and turn them into a dynamic interpretive presentation on your panel or sign.
Don't have text? We have two writers on staff available to assist! Send us facts and other info, and we will custom quote the addition of Interpretive Writing to your project.
We have a team of outstanding, experienced Interpretive Illustrators available for your project. Please contact us for a custom quote!
Need a photo of a certain bird, plant or landscape? We have an extensive library of stock photography available for your Interpretive Design project. Contact us for details and a custom quote!
Our standard Interpretive Design fees are based on receipt of print-ready digital files from you, but if you have photos or illustrations you need us to scan, we can custom quote scans based on size and volume.
Many of our clients have found that having Envirosigns design your interpretive sign project can be much more cost effective than hiring a design firm or outside desiger. This is because we have many years of experience in interpretive panel layout, which allows us to optimize our design time and give you the best value in interpretive design!

The death of another is a call for you to LIVE, folks. Too many of us take life for granted and assume we will be here tomorrow, next week, or next year.
We need to wake up from that illusion.
All we really have is this moment and the next if we're lucky. So are you really going to spend your precious moments criticizing or mocking a fellow human for being human and struggling just like the rest of us?
Don't be dumb. Let Amy Winehouse's death deepen your compassion for those who struggle with addiction and allow it to fortify your will to carry on with your own life and inspire you to face your own darkness.
We ALL hurt and we all seek relief from that hurt in the best way we know how. Who are we to judge another's path?
Whether you get your 'fix' through sugar, television, over-eating, porn, meaningless sex, shopping or drugs, makes you no different than Amy.
How dare any of us scoff at her. Who here has got is all figured out? Who here is free from inner pain and all the ways that manifests in our lives?
It is far too easy to point fingers and laugh at others from the comfort of our own couch. The internet creates the "us versus them" mentality and creates a separation between us and the famous. News flash, folks: they are human, too. They have family and they have friends just like the rest of us. And they have to put up with the tabloids and ignorant strangers watching and criticizing their every move.
What kind of world are we creating?
If your friend, your sibling, your parent or child died, those around you would sympathize. They would feel your pain. They wouldn't dare make a joke.
Someone just died for fuck's sake. DIED! There is no reversing that.
The only sane response is sympathy for the loved ones of the deceased, and appreciation for life itself. All else is insanity.
Yet when it comes to someone famous with a known struggle with addiction, people have the nerve to waste what remains of their own life by being insensitive to the deceased because of bullshit they read in gossip columns.
Why do we support this?
As if we all don't know or love someone who is caught in the cycle of addiction. Where is our heart? Where is our connection to the human race? And why do we think we can shun others while remaining in tact ourselves?
We cannot. We are all connected.
And we all have a version of Hitler and Mother Theresa within each of us. None of us is perfect. We all have an equal capacity for evil and goodness, darkness and light. So stop being mean to those whose darkness merely reflects your own.
If you think you are so much better than Amy, think again, my friend. If you were so good and pure and evolved yourself, you would not need to criticize her or anyone else for that matter. You would see things clearly and have compassion for all beings.
You would extend love, not hate, and you would know that life is a mirror and everything you see outside of you is a perfect reflection of yourself.
This rant is for society at large; not for specific individuals. It's a call to wake the fuck up before you take your last breath. It is a call to spend your life on what really matters, and let me tell you that monitoring how another chooses to live is a fucking waste of your energy and your purpose in life.
Ideally, everyone should treasure life and their loved ones even more whenever they hear of the death of another; especially that of someone so young. It should make you appreciate the fact that you are still here. They are not.
Death is a call for people to live but most people don't wake up to that wisdom. That is a shame.
For those who might wonder why (or are complaining that) people post "RIP Amy Winehouse" (or any other celebrity who has passed) and are mourning someone they don't even know, I think it isn't just because they are fans but because music (or any art form) heals all of us, and death is universal.
Music is the reason some people are able to carry on in life, so it is very possible that to some, musicians are like a best friend, even a saving grace.
People have a right to mourn what once touched their hearts or lives or helped get them though the dark times. I wasn't even a huge fan of Amy's music but I have great compassion for anyone who struggles with addiction.
Life is not easy for any of us, really.
Peace to all of us.
To those who have passed, who live, and have yet to arrive.
With love,
Mandy xo

Being a student can be one of the must fun and thrilling times of your life. You get lots of time off over summer and Christmas, you get lots of discount in hundreds of places and plenty of time for a lay in! So why not take this opportunity to go on some of the most amazing traveling trips and step out of your comfort zone and explore the world.
Traveling as a student does not necessarily mean foreign travel either, at university you will meet people from all areas of the world, and in the UK. Why not take this opportunity to visit friends and visit cities or towns in the UK. People aged 16-25 can have a discount railcard which enables them to get 1/3 of the price off their ticket. Some of the most beautiful destinations are right on your doorstep around the UK, with vibrant cities such as Liverpool, Manchester, and London. Or if this is not what you fancy then in England less than 10% is built on which means there is tons of room for exploring and outdoor activities, such as the Peak District!
If you fancy going further afield to hotter climates (or colder ones!) then doing this as a student couldn't be better. University often offers so many opportunities for students to travel, study, or volunteer abroad. At Nottingham Trent University, where both myself and Cole attend, they offer trips to China, Russia, Budapest and much more, for a few weeks up to a year. You will never get such amazing opportunities handed to you again, so take the chance and go for it!
However, if you don't want to go with the university and wish to experience on your own then there are thousands of options for you to do as a student who may be on a budget. Both this summer and the previous myself and Cole both did student friendly trips. Cole's have been slightly more budget friendly as he cycled and wild camped on the beaches around Mallorca. He had the most surreal experience and loved the freedom in which this trip offered him. He cycled 60km a day for 2 weeks and saw some of the most incredible beaches that Mallorca had to offer!
I went interrailing around Europe with one my friends from my university halls. Interrail tickets cost considerably less if you are a student under 25, so we were able to save a lot of money here to put towards costs on our trip. As you travel around you will find that hostels around Europe are cheap, especially if you travel off the beaten track and miss some of the bigger cities. And also in Europe, beer, and pizza is extremely cheap, so while it may not have been the most nutritious month of my life, it was a good way to save some money! Many hostels also offered free walking tours around the area you were staying so you got a free tour while learning and seeing the city and the culture.
This year we joined together to wild camp around Norway which saved a considerable amount of money. While many would think traveling Norway as a student is completely crazy due to the country being so expensive, we thought of ways in which we could save money. We bought food in bulk rather than eating out, we wild camped instead of hotels, and we went on hiking trips rather than paid excursions! If you are a student and want to travel but think you can't afford it, there is always a way round, you just need to think of ways in which you could save a few pennies here and there. For example hostels and camping is a really cheap way of finding somewhere to sleep, some hostels even include breakfast, and your student card can get you into museums for free and even discounted meals.
You meet some of the most amazing people while being a student, who will push you out of your comfort zone and open the doors to new possibilities. If I had not of met Cole I would have never had wild camped around Norway, and I would be looking at Instagram pictures wondering if I will ever go. So bite the bullet and go see the world!
Travelling will not only allow you to explore new social and cultural environment but will build your confidence and push you out of your comfort zone! Whether it is traveling the UK, Europe, Australia, or so on, go where your heart desires and have the best time, and let us know how you found ways to budget on your journey.
Until next time
India and Cole

PS21 is excited and pleased to host one of the architects of the 2015 Paris Agreement, the historic accord on climate change that currently enjoys the support of nearly every nation in world. Dr. Edward Cameron will be joining us on Wednesday April 18 at 7:00 PM at 3S Artspace at 319 Vaughan Street.
Dr. Cameron will provide us with an overview of the Paris Agreement. This will include detail on the architecture of the Agreement, as any successful attempt to align municipal strategy with the Agreement should borrow from the architecture.
He will then proceed with an assessment of the climate policy of our federal government, followed by an overview of how other non-state actors in the United States are building a low-carbon climate-resilient economy with a particular emphasis on the private sector, as he views this as an exercise in economic development for the region.
Finally, he will give us a sense of what would be needed to build a climate strategy on the local level, along with some guidance as to what individuals can do to be agents of climate action.
Following the presentation, we will reserve ample time for questions and discussion. The event is free and all are welcome. Please register online to help ensure sufficient seating.
Upcoming Events
Paris to Portsmouth – Part II
In October, PS21 will assemble a panel of municipal officials from other New England cities to discuss their efforts to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Under the Texas Stars
My high school girl had her prom on Friday.
It was small in size, but turned out to be lovely.
The theme was "Under the Texas Stars".
And indeed it was. Just look at this view.
The dance was held at a retreat center that had a beautiful outdoor pavilion. Not your standard prom location, but it seemed just right.
I helped with the decorating, and we used lots of white lights, burlap, and galvanized items.
I found these big stars made from old tobacco sticks while shopping the fields in Warrenton, and we hung them around the perimeter of the pavilion. I bought the natural ones, and they looked wonderful.
The entry looked magical all lit up.
We used small ball jars for the drinks. One mom tied a tag to each jar with the student's name attached. We put all the jars in a vintage metal laundry cart. Super cute. Wish I had a photo... also wish I would have snapped more photos to share, but I had my little guy with me. He kept saying, "I want to go to prom... I want to dance". One of the girls was so sweet to dance with him before we left. The sun was also setting, which made it a challenge for this amateur photographer.
Here is my prom girl and her little brother before the dance.
Fun stuff.

Union Hand Roasted Coffee, London
Begin by selecting high-quality coffee. We search for high-grade arabica coffee, grown at high altitude, which is probably about 2% of the market. It's important to ensure that perfectly ripe "cherry" beans are picked. The fruit is stripped from the bean in very controlled conditions to maintain the quality, then the beans are washed in clear spring water. You get to a point where you know that they're perfectly washed; you scrunch the beans together and they make a squeaking, croaking noise. The next stage is where the beans are hulled, and we then taste the coffee. Similar to a wine-tasting, we slurp the coffee by drawing a large intake of air and spraying it over the palate to get a sense of the flavour tones, the acidity, the body, the viscosity, voluptuousness and the flavour profiles such as milk chocolate, dark chocolate, berry fruits or citrusy notes.
We spend a lot of time getting to know how the coffee is produced and also the people who are growing it. We go outside Fairtrade, where we buy from private estate farms where a family has farmed for many generations but they're not subsistence farmers; they produce small quantities of very high quality coffee. Interestingly the Fairtrade movement will not certify those individual producers; it will only work with cooperative movements. But we ensure workers are paid a living wage and their conditions are safe and hygienic.
It's the roasting that releases the starches and converts them into the wonderful flavour that we taste. We hand roast individual batches, and by adjusting the heat of the flame we craft the roast. The aromas that are created give us an indicator of how the beans are developing.

Has Bean Coffee, Stafford
We buy small micro lots of specialist coffee. A lot of time they are coffees from the Cup of Excellence - a coffee competition judged by an International jury in seven countries: Bolivia, Brazil, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Columbia. Coffees change over time; the taste can develop or diminish so you have to constantly check them.
We made a conscious decision not to support Fairtrade. It's not because we're evil capitalists and we want to crush the small grower - quite the opposite. We think it's more sustainable to pay a good price for a quality product; 95% of the time we pay more than the Fairtrade price. We're keen to work with individual farmers. Fairtrade only works with co-operatives, which won't get as big a price as an individual farmer with really good coffee.
We import the coffee and do all of our own roasting. We roast coffee every day so it's at its most fresh when it goes out the door. It's really important because coffee degrades really quickly; it's no different to buying your vegetables. As the days go on, the taste changes to the point where it's no longer fresh and it loses its personality, so a big mantra of mine is treat coffee as a fresh food and buy small amounts regularly.
A lot of our customers are home users. I think it's important to use fresh coffee, fresh water and not to use boiling water, which will scald the coffee and bring out a bitter taste. Make only as much as you're going to drink at that time. Personally I have a real love affair with Brazilian coffee.

A corporation is a self-sustaining construct that has no moral or civic responsibility. Its only function is to create wealth for its "shareholders."
It is therefor by decree fully self-interested, the perfect expression of sociopathic and narcissistic behavior.
The Corporation emerged in the late 16th Century as a mechanism to separate ownership from management. As the industrial Revolution expanded in the following decades, corporations multiplied as industry found a means to attract investors interested in making money. In the 1700s the corporation was used in America to accrue investments in the building of the Railroads, a project so massive it could not be paid for by the wealthy alone. Middle class investors joined in.
Individual investors were personally liable for their investments until the Limited Liability Act of 1855, essentially disconnecting investors from their personal responsibility while allowing them to profit from the activity of the company. With this development, every day people were liberated to invest and the corporate model blossomed further. Since the shareholders were no longer liable for the actions of the corporation, someone had to take their place. It was deemed that the corporation itself would be liable for its activities, effectively making the corporation into a "person."
In the early 1900s Americans became afraid of the corporation's power and a campaign to humanize the corporation ensued, with ATT&T advertising it was a "friend and neighbor" to regular folks. Thus the start of corporate branding began. Another disconnect between the motives and intentions of a profit-driven entity and its public face.
In the 2000s then presidential candidate Mitt Romney famously stated that "Corporations are Individuals", and the Citizens United Supreme court decision effectively granted corporations the same anonymity as private citizens, allowing corporate interests to contribute to campaigns for their favorite candidates.
So much political rhetoric scapegoats immigrants and the poor for dragging down the economy, when it is the corporation, fulfilling its self perpetuating mission, that ships jobs overseas, calculates fractions on the penny to maximize profits and disregards local economies.
Who pushes through automation and internet commerce over brick and mortar outlets, costing jobs? Who replaces bank tellers, phone operators, cashiers, ticket-takers, and retail clerks with hi-tech substitutes? Who creates websites to replace customer service, disconnecting us from a real person in a regional office? Corporations, and by extension the CEOs and Shareholders that seek profits.
Who replaces scores of coal miners with mountaintop removal technology? The Corporation. Because that is what the corporation is designed to do: increase profits, self perpetuate.
Shipping jobs overseas, automation and computers are changing the workforce, driven by the corporate elites, who then scapegoat the immigrant population as the cause of American Job-loss. That is a cynical game.

Ah! What bliss the last three days have been! A fabulous eat-acation at home, a journey through fresh, classic and new, much holding hands and walking around the beckoningly empty city in gorgeous weather are we were fortunate to have.. All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better summertime weekend!
We decided to spend the three day weekend at home, together, as that simple pleasure has not been much of a norm lately for us. And, as always, with us, once the location was decided, our minds turned to food.. :)
A leisurely walk through Chelsea Market on Saturday, had us feasting on fresh oysters that tasted of the sea at the Lobster Place and bringing back more fruits de mer to delight over many subsequent meals. We picked up monk fish, gorgeous dorade (sea bream), mussels, bay scallops and sea scallops.
Over the next two days we devoured them as Lemongrass Poached Dorade with Lavender Cream Sauce (made by Mr. FSK), Provencal Bouillabaisse and simple Seared Scallops with Squid Ink Pasta and Truffled Pesto.
The dorade dish made by hub was inspired by Amelia's recipe from here with the lavender that lovely Barbara sent me.
The bouillabaisse was something that I love and have always wanted to make but had not attempted before because it is .. well.. tedious. The leisure of the weekend inspired me and, yes, it does take a while but was indeed fabulously flavorful. My recipe is an adaptation of the Provencal version, slightly simplified in method and ingredients. I have shared my recipe here.
I also made the fruit desert (recipe is posted here) below over the weekend and it made a lovely end to many a meal. I'll share the recipe for that in another post soon. I hope you all had a fabulous weekend and Happy Week ahead! :)
2/3 lb monk fish, cubed
1/4 lb bay scallops
1/2 lb mussels
3 medium ripe tomatoes, peeled and de-seeded
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 stalks celery, finely sliced
zest of 1 lemon
2 tsp fennel seeds
1/4 tsp saffron soaked in 2 T hot water
1/2 tsp saffron soaked in 1/4 cup warm dry white wine
2-1/2 cups fish/lobster stock ( I used lobster bouillon)
2 T + 1/3 cup olive oil
3-4 stalks of summer savory
2 stalks rosemary
2 T parsley, minced for garnish
Salt and pepper as needed
Combine salt, 1 clove garlic (minced),2 T olive oil and saffron in water with the water and marinate the monk fish and scallops in it for about an hour in the fridge.
Meanwhile, in a large pot, heat up the 1/3 cup of oil. Saute onions, garlic and celery for 10 minutes until soft. Add the tomatoes, stock and fennel. Tie the summer savory and rosemary with a string and toss into the broth. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer covered on low for 45 minutes to an hour.
Remove pan from heat and strain the mixture. From the strained vegetables, pick out the tomato-y pieced and pulse into a puree. You may get some of the celery and onion, it's ok! Bring the broth back to a rolling boil and stir in the tomato puree. If you are using any oily fish like mahi-mahi, add that first and cook. Then add the firm fleshed fish.
I had only monk fish, which is firm fleshed, so I started with it. Cook the fish for a few minutes until almost done. Then add the scallops and cook another two minutes. Finally.Add mussels and cook another a couple of minutes.
You can either strain out the fish, divide among bowls and then add the broth over or just ladle out the broth assuming you are going to be equitable with the seafood! :) Sprinkle fresh parsley over the bouillabaisse and serve with fresh bread and rouille (recipe below).
Saffron-Garlic Mayonnaise (Rouille)
3 T crusty bread
1/4 cup fish broth
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 tsp chili flakes
pinch of saffron threads
1 clove of garlic, minced
salt and pepper as needed
soak the bread in fish broth till it completely soaks up all the liquid. Squeeze the bread to press out excess liquid. Process the broth soaked bread, yolk, chili flakes, pepper, salt, saffron to a smooth mixture. Slowly pour in the olive oil while the blender is still on until it emulsifies. Pour into bowl and serve with sliced bread.

Trying new things.
I will be the first to admit that I love to color. It is a hobby that I have found that I enjoy doing. I started off my coloring adventures using copic markers. If you are a hard core coloring like I am, you will understand my love for these markers and also the obsession, of wanting ever color they make.
Lately I have been wanting to try Prisma Pencils. I have a friend who does beautiful work with these pencils. I admire her work and have always wanted to try them out. Amazon last week had a sale on prisma and I order myself the 72 set. Lets just say I am in love! my first image I color was a stamp from magnolia called Gelato Tilda from their 2017 summer collection. here is a link to the site. www.magnoliastamps.us
Hope you enjoy my card. Feel free to leave me a comment if you would like to know my colour list.

Venture Capital performed far better than buyout firms in the third quarter of 2008, according to a study just released by Cambridge Associates LLC. Both were money losing, of course. It was a tough year. But dollars invested in venture capital shrank far less than those in buyout firms.
Here's the tale of the tape for VC vs. buyouts in the third quarter
- Venture Capital: -2%
- Buyout firms: -8%.
This is a dramatic shift in capital returns. As the Wall Street Journal's Private Equity Beat notes, this is only the second time since 2005 that buyout returns trailed venture capital.
Buyout returns seem to be heavily correlated with the broader market. The S&P 500 declined by 8.9%, which means that after fees buyout firm investors would have done better to just put their money in an S&P index fund in the third quarter. And it's a major red flag for the fourth quarter.
"If that remains the case, buyout returns are in for some real trouble in the fourth quarter, when these public market indices declined by 22.5%," Laura Kreutzer notes at PE Beat.

The optimal path to mature requirements practices is often obscured by misinformation. Register now to see how to make significant operational improvement in requirements maturity and select a path based on a strong foundation of research and quantified success.
[Read the rest of this article...]
This session provides attendees with hands on techniques for determining the outcome of their projects before the project really gets rolling. This session is about facts, and presents extensive research from IAG's new Business Analysis Benchmark Study to help business analysts and project managers build a predictive risk assessment model. This session puts the intake and requirements gathering process of the project lifecycle under the microscope to determine what actions Business Analysts and Project Managers can take to more consistently achieve a successful outcome on their projects.
Why should it take months to determine project scope and gather requirements? Register now to look at the underlying problems that impede the collection of business requirements and make projects less successful.
Managing Requirements Operational Excellence is about making significant change in requirements discovery and management performance.
This session is for the business analyst leadership and development executive looking to make long term, systematic improvement to their business analyst organization.
Before you can chart how you are going to implement a solution, everyone involved in the development effort must agree on why you need it to start with and that it is the very best solution available. Business requirements are fundamental to any development effort because they define where you are going by articulating the business problem and its solution—why it is needed and how to measure its success.
Very few people doubt it nowadays: The gathering of requirements and its appropriate documentation is a fundamental step in the success of any project. Yet, many people still disregard it.
Requirements gathering activities should be scheduled by your project plan like any other project related activities. If these activities don't track to the schedule, whether because the schedule isn't feasible or some other reason, it will cause all the dependant activities to slip. Once you've chosen your requirements gathering approach and the stakeholders you'll meet with to gather the requirements, you can schedule the meetings, or interviews, or other methods for soliciting the requirements.
There are various ways and means by which requirements for software development projects can be gathered and documented. Before you start documenting the requirements you might want to be sure if you have captured all the required information.
The requirements you capture must be stated in business terms, must be clearly stated, must be concise, and must be feasible. To ensure that requirements are clearly stated, you should have them proof read by someone external to the project (or at least someone not familiar with the requirements you've captured).
A User Requirements Capture is a research exercise that is undertaken early in a project lifecycle to establish and qualify the scope of the project. The aim of the research is to understand the product from a user's perspective, and to establish users' common needs and expectations. The user requirements capture is useful for projects that have a lack of focus or to validate the existing project scope. The research provides an independent user perspective when a project has been created purely to fulfil a business need. The requirements capture findings are then used to balance the business goals with the user needs to ensure the project is a success.

I grew up in a village in northwestern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and although I'm now a doctor and live in Kinshasa, I remember those days well.
I know what it's like to live 23 kilometers from the nearest health center and to navigate forests and floods to get there. I know how a lack of something simple like antibiotics can cause a quick death. I've lost many peers from the village over the years and a lot of family members.
In fact, that's why I became a physician.

On Sunday, September 27, 2015, Management Sciences for Health (MSH), and its partners Save the Children US and International Medical Corps (IMC), along with African Field Epidemiology Network (AFENET), committed to bringing together key partners from the global public health, private, public, and civil society sectors to build the No More Epidemics™ campaign that will advocate for stronger health systems with better disease surveillance and epidemic preparedness capabilities to ensure local disease outbreaks do not become major epidemics.
Launching later this year, the No More Epidemics campaign will build a broad and inclusive partnership that will engage multiple sectors to share knowledge and expertise and provide the public information and political support for the right policies and the increased funding to ensure people everywhere are better protected from infectious diseases.
After two years of negotiations, 193 Member States of the United Nations reached agreement last month on the new sustainable development agenda that will be formerly adopted later this week at the 70th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York City.
The Member States agreed to 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) with a total of 169 targets. The SDGs will replace the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) that expire this year and will influence development priorities and funding for the next 15 years.
The agenda, entitled Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, is composed of five parts: The Preamble; Chapter 1: The Declaration; Chapter 2: The Sustainable Development Goals; Chapter 3: Means of implementation and the Global Partnership; and, Chapter 4: Follow up and review.
As the 70th United Nations General Assembly convenes later this week in New York, NY to endorse the 17 new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Management Sciences for Health (MSH) is leading conversations on universal health coverage, resilient health systems, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), partnerships, and women's and children's health.
The teenage years. Changes seem to happen overnight. Puberty. Your first crush. Fighting with a parent. Discovering your identity, your purpose, and your role in the community. A confusing and challenging, yet rewarding, coming of age... an emerging adult.
Half the world's population is under 30 years old. About 1.8 billion people, the largest generation of youth in history, are between the ages of 10 and 24. In most countries in sub-Saharan Africa, people ages 15 to 29 will continue to comprise about half of the population for the next four decades. How does this unprecedented proportion of young people impact public health, and a community and country's sustainable development?
Sustainable health outcomes will depend on how we engage and empower our youth.
Wednesday, August 12, is International Youth Day; the date designated by the United Nations to recognize the influence young people have on society and to raise awareness of youth issues. Currently, there are over 1.8 billion young people in the world that are not only patients, clients, and beneficiaries, but providers and leaders who can contribute to a healthier future for all.
Breastfeeding is a human right, and critical for the health of both newborn and mother. Newborns benefit from early skin-to-skin contact and the antibodies in the mother's first milk, plus factors that protect against later obesity and chronic diseases such as diabetes and asthma. Mothers benefit because early breastfeeding assists in uterine shrinkage and helps prevent postpartum bleeding. In addition, frequent, exclusive, breastfeeding reduces the likelihood of an immediate new pregnancy.
Optimal breastfeeding is most advantageous when started within an hour of birth and continued exclusively for six months; research shows that it could save 800,00 children's lives. Yet, globally, only 38 percent of infants are breastfed exclusively.
World Breastfeeding Week 2015 (August 1-7) focuses on supporting women breastfeeding at the workplace ("Let's make it work").
For many women, especially in the developing world, barriers to breastfeeding start in the home or even the health facility -- before returning to work in her household, community, or workplace.
UN's final MDG Report 20152015 — the finish line of the United Nations' grand experiment, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Framed in 2000, the MDGs represent a leap of faith by the global community to transform, through unified action, the lives of millions living under the threat of extreme poverty, malnourishment, inadequate health care, poor hygiene, and without dignity.
As "The Millennium Development Goals Report 2015" — released in early July — shows, significant progress has been made over the last 15 years, but the work is not complete. Among the MDGs' eight goal framework, steady progress in the areas of child mortality, maternal health, and infectious diseases (goals 4, 5, and 6) have saved and impacted millions of lives around the world.

Crib Notes: General Session with Harvey Carey
Categories: Blog
Legacy People, Harvey Carey
Friday Night General Session
MLK would be horrified by how we've reduced his legacy. He was about more than a day off from work and school to shop and play.
Elijah / Elisha (2 Kings 2:1-17)
To our forefathers: I am who I am because of you. I can't be who I'm supposed to be without who you are.
Are you loyal / committed or are you using youth ministry as a stepping-stone to something else? Your kids know if they're being used.
Legacy comes with benefits.
"I'm the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob." He defined himself generationally. The movement of God is bigger than one generation.
Even though God moved with MLK and Mandela, etc, he wants to move with us too. He's a multi-generational God.
Will we become legacy minded?
You cannot earn the prize of legacy when you have not passed the test of consistency.
Are you consistent? Do you have integrity? Are you unchanging? Consistency earns the right to receive the legacy. Elijah says to Elisha: what can I do for you?
Elisha: I want to be able to take what you did to the next level. I want to build on what you did. So give me a double-portion of your anointing.
What do you want out of your life in relationship to their lives?
Does your youth ministry calendar look like a trip calendar?
Why are the worst kids in our youth groups the leaders' kids?
It's a sin to be a boring youth leader. Jesus was a crowd drawer because he had life.
Why would you want double? Because legacy surpasses what came before.
Legacy means the next generation upgrades. Did you come to upgrade?
Elijah: If you keep your eyes on me, you'll get it. If you take your eyes off me, you won't get it. Do you believe he could do the chariot of fire again? He's the same God yesterday, today, and forever. We will not be legacy people if we do not believe he can do today what he did yesterday.
Time to stop having church and time to start being the church.
Chariot takes Elijah from the presence of Elisha. His mentor, his identity was gone. What happens when the leader is gone? He mourned because the generation that blessed him had passed away.
Legacy people aren't content with pizza and a movie and Chronicles of Narnia.
Elisha got a revelation in the midst of his mourning. He realized what Elijah said. He washed his tears and grabbed the mantle that fell. He wrapped himself in the mantle of the previous generation.
He approaches the same river as Elijah. Says: "What you did for Elijah, I expect you to do for me." God removes the water, he walks through, and tells the younger prophets: "What's up?!?"
Forget the holiday to memorialize. Choose to walk in the legacy of the prior generation.

Herbs used for Astringent
Herbs that are drying, drawing, and constricting - think "puckering". Can be used to ease inflamed bug bites and burns or dry out oozing rashes and sores, tone skin, and stop bleeding. Used internally, astringents can tone mucous membranes and dry up conditions such as diarrhea or profuse sweating.

Too many companies do not pay their fair share of taxes – and you and I would be paying less tax if they did. I have long opposed tax dodging, particularly by corporations which use technicalities to base themselves overseas.
It will be an early priority for the incoming Labour government, and for me, to tackle tax avoidance by big business, including:
- Make it harder for big companies to dodge UK taxes and ensure they're not getting unfair tax breaks;
- Ensure UK tax rules don't encourage big companies to avoid tax in developing countries;
- Make the UK tax regime more transparent and tougher on tax dodging.Also, we will need to take stock of the binary option market that is notoriously scamming a large population. The modus that they employ is to come out with attractive websites that lure the traders to invest hundred of dollars into their trading account and then on the pretext of losing trades, they would lose all the money in one go! It does not help that most of these websites are offshore ones and also link customer accounts with unlicensed oversea brokers. Don't fall into this trap. Learn the facts here now!
In February 2015 Mr Miliband said that, under a Labour government, tax havens will have six months to publish publicly-accessible central registers of beneficial ownership; and that, if the tax havens fail to meet this deadline, the next Labour government will withdraw the protection they get from international scrutiny and will ask the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to place them on its tax haven blacklist.
The timidity of the Coalition government has frustrated and slowed the pace of reform on tax avoidance across the world – no surprise there. As Mr Miliband put it:
"(Mr Cameron) won't tackle tax avoidance for the simple reason that too many of his friends would get caught in the net. They're the party of Mayfair hedge funds and Monaco tax avoiders. Everyone pays stamp duty on stock market transactions except hedge funds, who are allowed to avoid it, costing hundreds of millions of pounds. (The Conservative Party is) funded to the tune of £47m by the hedge funds, bankrolled by the hedge funds. It is the political wing of offshore hedge funds."
Mr Miliband cited some of the Conservatives' key donors, including Lord Laidlaw, a tax exile living in Monaco, who gave £7m; Michael Hintze, whose company is based in Jersey, who has given £3m (£1.5m in 2014); and Michael Spencer, who gave £4m, and who was involved in the Libor scandal.
HM Revenue & Customs' Affluent Unit has a target of pulling in just £600 million by 2015 – yet HMRC's own estimate is that tax avoidance and evasion by individuals and companies amounts to £32 billion a year. This figure comes from the HMRC report Measuring Tax Gaps 2012. It is dated 18 October 2012, but this government has tried to hide it, by archiving it on the government website.
The current government has introduced massive "austerity", yet at the same time it is running a massive annual deficit of about 5% of GDP; and the National Debt has increased by over two-thirds under this government – so much for all its talk of sound public finances. One reason for this apparent contradiction is that its austerity measures choked off economic growth 2010 through 2013, meaning an increased Social Security bill and lower tax revenues. Contrast the outgoing Labour government, where the economy was growing at an annualised rate of 1.8% when the Coalition took office in 2010 and started its failed austerity policies.
Another reason for this apparent contradiction (= austerity + big deficit) is that the current government has favoured its rich friends, with a big cut to Corporation Tax, a big cut to the top rate of Income Tax, and sweetheart deals on tax avoidance (c.f. its toothless agreement with Switzerland). Moreover, the Coalition's brave talk of "transparency" of the beneficial ownership of assets and shares is just empty rhetoric.
The big banks are at it, too:
"HSBC's Swiss banking arm helped wealthy customers dodge taxes and conceal millions of dollars of assets, doling out bundles of untraceable cash and advising clients on how to circumvent domestic tax authorities, according to a huge cache of leaked secret bank account files" (The Guardian, 8 February 2015).
HSBC has now admitted assisting tax dodging, saying:
"We acknowledge and are accountable for past compliance and control failures" (HSBC statement 8 February 2015)
Despite Mr Cameron boasting more than 18 months ago that he had forced tax havens to open up, not one of the tax havens linked to Britain as Overseas Territories or Crown Dependencies yet has a register showing who owns the companies registered there – and some have explicitly refused to do so.
Another favoured tax dodge is this: overseas corporation ("O/S Corp") has a subsidiary ("UK Sub Ltd") trading in the UK. O/S Corp has its head office overseas, in some tax haven. UK Sub Ltd makes what you and I would call profits, but UK Sub Ltd has to pay "royalties" / "licensing fees" etc. to O/S Corp overseas out of those profits. Surprise, surprise, those royalties are just about equivalent to what would otherwise be UK Sub Ltd's profits taxable in UK. So UK Sub Ltd reports to the UK tax authorities that, after paying those royalties, UK Sub Ltd is not technically making a profit in the UK. Meanwhile, O/S Corp has to pay tax, in the overseas country where it is incorporated, on the royalties received from UK Sub Ltd (which were generated by UK-based UK Sub Ltd, on money spent by UK customers) – and of course the tax rate is far, far lower in that carefully chosen overseas country.
One way round this might be for the UK to consider implementing a turnover tax on such companies (a bit like VAT, which is a tax on transactions, not on profits).
I salute President Obama's decision this year to tax the retained profits held by overseas subsidiaries of USA-based corporations.
In addition, the tax regimes of many western countries, including UK's, make it all too easy for big corporations to avoid paying taxes in developing countries where they operate. It is estimated that such tax avoidance amounts to a great deal more than the amount of overseas aid these countries receive. That is immoral, as well as not making economic sense.

The Athenaeum Hotel, overlooking Chautauqua Lake, has been at the heart of the Chautauqua Institution since it opened in 1884. The center was already a decade into its first mission as a boot camp for Sunday school teachers.
The hotel's approach to feeding its guests hasn't changed much since, though now the diners are mainly vacationers at the venerable educational foundation and summer resort an hour's drive south of Buffalo. It is still an "American plan" hotel, meaning its rates include three meals a day. That obligation resulted in menus that had become predictable, even a little stale, acknowledged Athenaeum general manager Bruce Stanton.
"There is a tendency with us, as old as we are, to get stuck inside traditions," Stanton said.
That is set to change this season. A young chef from Hamburg named Ross Warhol has been handed the challenge of bringing new life to the hotel's bill of fare. At 24, Warhol already has fortified his culinary school degree with training stints at some of the world's best restaurants, including Spain's el Bulli, California's French Laundry and Ubuntu, and Chicago's Alinea.
Working with Warhol, the Chautauqua Institution may be able to make cuisine another form of art celebrated on its grounds, Stanton said.
"We had a violinist play a Stradivarius on stage, and $4.5 million of violins on display in our lobby," Stanton said, describing a recent season's event. "Then after the performance, they come in and have a really fine dinner. That's the stuff where Ross really complements that experience – you have somebody here who can deliver that across the board."
As private chef for the institution president, Thomas Becker, Warhol created dinner for 36 three or four times a week during the Chautauqua Institution's nine-week season. This year, his fourth season at the Athenaeum, Warhol has taken over the hotel's dining program, overhauling the weekly dining room menus.
Out with the baked haddock, in with the seared grouper with yellow corn cake, baby bok choy and chorizo vinaigrette. "It's still comfort food, but with higher technique," said Warhol, who has planted kitchen gardens and started curing his own bacon.
But the most radical events of "food-as-art" will be three nights this summer. On July 13, Aug. 4 and Aug. 16, the hotel's banquet room will become "Praxis," a stage for Warhol's most ambitious menus yet.
His months at el Bulli and other gastro-temples have left the young chef fluent in the techniques of "molecular gastronomy," a style of cooking that lets chefs play with shapes, textures and expectations. A main goal of molecular gastronomy is to deliver familiar flavors in elevated or surprising packages.
The overall goal is to delight people with dinner, Warhol said. "At Praxis there will be techniques used – because that's what praxis is, the act of engaging and applying ideas," he said. "The idea is to show the guests at the hotel who choose to eat there, and people from outside, what the food could be, rather than what it was for the past however many years."
The first Praxis will involve a menu recently discovered from the hotel's inaugural banquet in 1884, Warhol said. He'll take dishes from it and reinterpret them with modern sensibilities and premium ingredients.
The second, "Community," will feature Warhol's reinventions of dishes from a community meal. "We're going to elevate the potluck supper," he said.
The third, "Painted," sets the most ambitious aesthetic goal. Warhol said he wants to serve dishes that evoke the favorite dishes of famous artists, or favorites from their time and place. Those dishes should be offered on plates in a manner reflecting the style of the artist, he said.
Stanton acknowledges that Warhol has been offered a chance that most young cooks could hardly dream of, but he earned it, Stanton said.
"The highest delivery level here is catering events for the president, 35 times a season; performers, dignitaries, political leaders, anyone who lectures is invited to dinner. It's a way for our president to have an intimate setting to deliver the message of Chautauqua Institution, this high-end dinner equal to a $150-a-head restaurant," said Stanton. "That's where we put Ross [in previous seasons]. It speaks to his ability."
Under that pressure, Warhol shone, Stanton said. "Now we're allowing him, to create other events, like this pop-up restaurant concept, where we're going to transform our banquet room for three evenings during the summer."
These nights will be Warhol's chance to catch the attention of sophisticated diners who visit the institution or summer nearby but have eaten anywhere but the Athenaeum. He welcomes the chance to work in the spotlight. "To give a 24-year-old that much responsibility, I'm very lucky – fortunate – they have this trust in me."
Warhol's work draws ?the attention of peers in the area, resulting in his recruitment to present molecular gastronomy techniques to chefs, most much older, at the American Culinary Federation's April conference in Niagara Falls.
There, Warhol guided listeners through a tour of a plate that included an aerated foie gras puff. "Like a macaron texture, the shape of a cream puff, light and airy," said Warhol. "It's made of cinnamon tea, but inside is foie gras mousse."
The end result: a crunchy bite that delivers the flavor ?of cinnamon-scented foie ?gras but vanishes in your mouth. That sense of playfulness extends across the plate, which encourages diners to experiment, mix and match, explore and be surprised.
Another element was duck breast, cooked more carefully to deliver lush meat and crispy, unfatty skin. Warhol removed the skin from the duck, and cooked it sous vide, that is, in a warm water bath, for 24 hours. (He did this and other steps before the conference presentation.)
Then he scraped the softened fat off the skin's underside, and wrapped it around the breast meat, holding it in place with an edible glue. He seared the remaining packet and served it.
Why bother? The process eliminates pockets of unrendered fat left behind by uneven searing, Warhol said, providing a better duck breast experience every time.
Another form-shifting element was blackberry "risotto," with individual berry cells, extracted by shattering berries frozen with liquid nitrogen, mimicking rice. They're cooked briefly in a sauce of thickened blackberry juice.
With other elements on the plate including a 40-second corn cake, aerated with nitrous oxide for instant lift during microwave cooking, and an intense strawberry gel, that condensed what Warhol called the "red flavor" of 10 cups of strawberries to two cups of liquid.
Before Warhol was done composing the plate, he wanted a sweet element that added a floral note, he said. Result: a chocolate cardamom crumble that looks like dirt, but tastes much better.
"The flavors work terrific together, both a teaching aid and actual meal," Warhol said. "I would definitely put it on one of my menus."
Daniel Johengen of Daniel's, a fine dining destination restaurant in Hamburg, was Warhol's first chef. He let Warhol, then a Hamburg High School senior, wash dishes in 2005, before working his way up to preparing food.
"He is extraordinary," Johengen said. "He's very determined."
One of the telling signs is how much time Warhol has dedicated to working for free in the best kitchens he could negotiate access to, Johengen said. "A lot of cooks they might think they want to be a chef or be whatever, but they get into the routine of a kitchen. Kitchens are very routine oriented, whether it's mine or Applebee's. It's very easy to get into a rut – you're coming in and doing the same thing day after day."
Warhol was focused on learning, even if he had to fund his own employment. You don't get paid for those gigs – at least not in money, Johengen said. "You go in there and you peel walnuts for five hours, and you wash windows, but you're there," Johengen said. The real salary is what "you steal with your eyes," Johengen said, quoting one of his first chefs. "You watch and you learn."
Will this summer be the start of a new tradition in the eating life of the Chautauqua Institution? Watch this plate, Stanton said.
"I have ultimate faith," he said. "We certainly don't know how long we may have him here, because someone of his talents is going to want to explore them. Right now it's a real good fit."

Well that IS the truth. Each day lived, is another day of life that we were blessed to live and learn from.
Whether you feel alive and vibrant or slow and tired due to a multitude of reasons….you truly appreciate each day. I know you've heard that before….but think about it again. What if you knew you had only 1 month…or1 week or 1 day left? What would you do? What would you WANT to experience.
Please take every precious moment you are blessed with and savor it.
You are worth it….because NO one is as INCREDIBLE AS YOU!
Believe that….think that….and live it!

No, you only pay when the patient books and attends the appointment booked. We won't charge you for any no-shows or cancellations.
No, absolutely not — the majority of HealthEngine users are women and families searching for healthcare services. 87% of all appointments booked on the HealthEngine directory are by existing patients booking with their regular practice. The average HealthEngine customer books 4.1 appointments a year. In order to successfully book an appointment via HealthEngine, a user is required to provide their first name, surname, a verified mobile number, email, address and date of birth. If they are doctor shopping they may be less inclined to provide all these details. We also have the ability to blacklist problem patients from making bookings with you online.
No, our no-show rate is less than 1% on all bookings. This is lower than the average no-show rate for a practice who does not accept online bookings.
In our experience, patients who have a good experience with a new practice or practitioner are more likely to make a repeat booking. Our customers engage us to help them acquire new patients quickly and easily but when we match a patient to your practice and send them to you, it's up to you to provide a service they want to keep coming back for. Most of the practices we work with are successful at retaining new patients.
HealthEngine's Online Booking System can be customised to support open and closed book doctors. If you have practitioners that do not take new patients or wish not to publish their availability online, we have the ability to block their schedule so their appointments are not displayed. We can set this up for you at the time of your online booking install and you can update this at any time by contacting our Practice Engagement Team.
We will never purposefully charge you for an existing patient booking. We do rely on you however, to notify us when we have not matched a booking with an existing patient record. If we have charged you for a new patient match, when they are an existing patient of yours, simply let us know so we can make the corrections.
Get in touch today for more information about HealthEngine products, services, and pricing.
Our Practice Consultants are on hand to answer any questions you may have. Simply fill out the form and we'll be in touch, or call us direct on 1300 377 639.

welcome to "the sounds she collected," a weekly playlist newsletter (sign up at www.tinyletter.com/thesoundsshecollected!) that i hope will connect you with new music each and every sunday. i've always loved music, and there's something about making playlists that is so cathartic for me (many of you know this, as i've made a playlist for you, for an event we attended, you name it!). so, i figured i'd combine my passion for writing with my passion for music. here we go, with a deep breath and a click—playlist number one: my little corner of the world.
i had a hard time choosing what the first themed playlist would be, but then realized it was obvious—an introduction. what we listen to not only says a lot about what genre we like, but about who we are, too: the songs that were there for us when we needed them the most. the songs that we celebrated with. the songs that we listened to during long road trips. they all make us who we are, and my favorite songs are the ones that take me back in time the moment i hear the opening chords.

I deleted the CMS software via Softaculous and that did not work so I then deleted the files in the directory and tried to reinstall. Now no matter what CMS I install it does not work., I am sure I deleted a needed file....can you help?
From what I could tell, it looks like you were lacking any default Index pages in .htaccess in your main /public_html/ directory. Because of this, you were getting a 403 error since your user didn't have access to any files (since there were none there).
You did appear to have some files in the /public_html/drup/ directory, and when I attempted to go to your website and appended /drup onto the end, it did pull up the Drupal files from the server, but those appeared to just be the defaults and you had a lot of missing content.
I see that we've already sent you out a data restoration request, because it didn't look like there was anything of importance already setup on the account. I went ahead and restored to your account what we had in our daily backups.
I left the original files from when I first got into your account in the following directory:
Please let us know if you needed either of those directories placed back onto your live website. For the time being, it looks like everything should be operation again.
If you continue to have issues accessing an application that you install with Softaculous, please ensure that you're attempting to access the correct sub-directory that you've installed it to. If it's still giving you problems please let us know!

- Granada Province, Spain
Mulhacén is the highest mountain in continental Spain and in the Iberian Peninsula. It is part of the Sierra Nevada range in the Cordillera Penibética. It is named after Abu l-Hasan Ali, or Muley Hacén as he is known in Spanish, the penultimate Muslim King of Granada in the 15th century who, according to legend, was buried on the summit of the mountain.
Mulhacén is the highest peak in Europe outside the Caucasus Mountains and the Alps. It is also the third most topographically prominent peak in Western Europe, after Mont Blanc and Mount Etna, and is ranked 64th in the World by prominence. The peak is not exceptionally dramatic in terms of steepness or local relief. The south flank of the mountain is gentle and presents no technical challenge, as is the case for the long west ridge.
The shorter, somewhat steeper north east ridge is slightly more technical. The north face of the mountain, however, is much steeper, and offers several routes involving moderately steep climbing on snow and ice (up to French grade AD) in the winter.
Mulhacén can be climbed in a single day from the villages of either Capileira or Trevélez, but it is more common to spend a night at the mountain refuge at Poqueira, or in the bare shelter at Caldera to the west. Those making the ascent from Trevelez can also bivouac at the tarns to the northeast of the peak.

America's Most Literate Cities
When you become the chancellor of a public university, my guess is that life isn't a ball of laughs. While the title sounds oh so important, I'd be willing to bet that one's work day is buried largely in the minutia of academic bureaucracy. And it's probably doubly worse if your early training was in journalism. And so John Miller, who got his journalism degree from Ohio University and now serves as chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater (not that one), apparently decided to do some interesting research as a sidelight.
What he came up with is a ranking of America's most literate cities, which purports to bring some rigor to what might otherwise be a spirited barroom debate. He looked at cities with a quarter million population or more, and ranked them on the basis of the circulation of newspapers and other publications and the number of booksellers, and on the number and quality of their libraries and the educational attainment of their citizens. As I drilled down into his methodology, I had a few quibbles, but only one major one.
So here's what he found: on an overall basis, taking all five factors together, the top 10 were Minneapolis, Seattle, Denver, Atlanta, San Fran, Pittsburgh, D.C., Louisville, Portland (OR) and Cincinnati. Cleveland? It comes in at #20, or about four notches below its current ranking in the Census Bureau's listing of the country's largest metro areas. No real surprises here, really. But the most interesting findings, I thought, were when you take a look at the component areas. Cleveland ranks higher in newspapers (#13) and libraries (tied for 12th), the latter of which is no surprise, given our world-class Cleveland Public Library, yet another legacy of our rich early-20th-century robber baron heritage. But, and again no surprise here, it's our abysmal educational rankings (specifically, the percentage of residents that have attained high school diplomas and undergraduate degrees) that sunk us to 20th place. But don't feel too bad: Chicago was way down in 45th place and New York City two slots below that! And that has more to do with my biggest problem with the methodology: it appears to look only at the major city proper and not its larger metro area, which is the only meaningful measuring stick of American cities in the 21st century.
One other observation about this report: you would think that these rankings, which have been extensively reported in other cities throughout the U.S., would have been easy fodder for Cleveland pubs looking for grist for the inevitable benchmarking report story, only this one would be interesting for a change. Alas, no one in Cleveland has yet picked up on it (too few do much web reporting). Instead, our pubs take up valuable pages with such gruesomely illiterate fare as Cleveland Mag's current cover "story," on fashion makeovers for local TV anchors. Egad! The once-proud mag sinks ever further (Sorry, but I can't in good conscience link to it and make it any easier for you to find such stuff).
Another Pekar Review. Meanwhile, reviews of Harvey Pekar's movie continue in the New York media. I recently mentioned one in the Village Voice, and today we have another review, in the New York Observer, the neighborhood paper for the Upper East Side's media elite. And just in case readers might miss one acid sentence up there in the second graf, they ran it as a prominent (enlarged) pull quote: "Mr. Pekar lives in Cleveland, which sounds like a loser's punchline from the outset." Oh, well, I suppose if Harvey Pekar becomes your town's de facto cultural ambassador, you have to be prepared for bad things to happen.

A riot officer came up behind him and grabbed him. It wasn't just pushing him - he'd rushed him. He went to the floor and he did actually roll. That was quite noticeable. It was the force of the impact. It was all from behind. The officer hit him twice with a baton [when he was] on the floor. So it wasn't just that the officer had pushed him - it became an assault. And then the officer picked him up from the back, continued to walk or charge with him, and threw him. He was running and stumbling. He didn't turn and confront the officer or anything like that.
Anna Branthwaite, 36, freelance photographer, south London
I saw a man approaching the police line from my right. He was quite tall with a beer belly and short hair. I later recognised him from a picture. He was on his own. He walked up to the police across the Royal Exchange Building, towards the centre left of their line. He did not appear drunk - he was walking normally. I saw him suddenly fall back as though flung down with force. It was as though he had been spun. He fell and hit the top of his head hard. I was shocked. He lay on the ground for around 30 seconds without moving before a protester helped him up. The police did not help him at all.
Kezia Rolfe, 27, NGO researcher, Stoke Newington
Police got into scuffles with people. They were pushing the line forward. When he got hit, police were coming forwards. He got hit near the head with a baton. I saw him fall so I moved back. But I saw him on the floor and someone picking him up - that's when I took the picture. After that, I was taking pictures of police and the dog line, and a girl came and said 'This guy needs help'. He was further back down the road.

Years ago, I worked for a startup on a tight budget, with ten of us working out of an extremely cramped office. The woman who sat next to me wore a strong perfume that reminded me of the candle store in the mall. Usually by mid-morning I had the beginnings of a throbbing headache, and by the end of the afternoon, I was downright nauseous.
At this point in my life, I hadn't yet discovered that I'm an introvert, a highly sensitive person (HSP), and an INFJ personality type. I just knew that I did not mix well with strong smells, loud noises, or crowded places. I was prone to headaches and anxiety and something as simple as a strobe light could set me off.
(What's your personality type? Take a free personality assessment.)
So, even though this woman's perfume seemed like such a small thing, it was actually wreaking havoc on my daily life.
Thankfully another one of my coworkers had become a close friend. She was very similar to me — intuitive, people-oriented, and sensitive — and I later found out she was an ENFJ personality. When I told her about the perfume lady, she said simply, "Why don't you ask her not to wear that perfume to work anymore? Tell her it bothers you."
I was stunned and speechless. That was allowed? I could ask other people to modify something because it was causing me a problem?
Rationally, I understood this concept. But emotionally, it felt like my entire world had shifted.
Why It's Hard for Sensitive Introverts to Speak Up
I'm sure I'm not the first sensitive introvert to struggle with this issue, and I definitely won't be the last. Speaking up for ourselves is not only hard to do, but it tends to bring up a ton of emotional baggage from our past.
Most of us have felt for our entire lives that our personal needs are weird and inconvenient to others. We need more space than other people. We need more time. We need more complexity and more depth. Because other people are often confused by these needs, or can even feel rejected in some way, we learn as children to compromise on them constantly.
Instead of figuring out how to negotiate with others for what we need, we withdraw further into our inner world, attempting to meet all of our needs there, totally on our own.
This works about half the time. The other half, we end up feeling resentful, unheard, isolated, and powerless.
So, as highly sensitive people, we have two choices. We can step into our power and be uncomfortable now, in the present moment, by speaking up for what we need. Or we can choose powerlessness and guarantee that we'll still feel uncomfortable — and probably angry, bitter, and emotional exhausted — in the future, by suppressing our needs and keeping our mouths shut.
Many highly sensitive people and introverts struggle with people-pleasing tendencies and a penchant for codependency. We really, really want to make sure that everyone in our environment is happy — especially with us. But this is a fight we'll never win. We simply cannot be in charge of everyone else's emotions. Nor should we be. That's what this whole "free will" deal is about. Everyone gets to choose their own adventure here. In order to truly honor someone else, it's essential to step back and let them have their own choices and their own reactions.
How to Stop Feeling Responsible for Others' Emotions
Not every introvert or HSP struggles with this. But if people-pleasing and feeling personally responsible for others' emotions has always been an issue for you, this four-step process will help:
Step 1: Evaluate Your Needs
Does the thing you need encroach on the rights of anyone else? Is it harmful to other people? If you're not invading anyone else's space or being disrespectful of someone else's boundaries, it's safe to say that you're justified in asking that your needs be respected. Use common sense here as well. Sure, your coworker might argue that listening to dance music at top volume is his inalienable right, but most sensible people would agree that his argument doesn't hold water.
The Takeaway
If you're able to speak up for what you need and still be respectful of others, then do it. It's not your responsibility to set boundaries for other people — only for yourself.
Step 2: Use Your Preferred Mode of Communication
Most introverts and HSPs have the misguided idea that we should push ourselves to have face-to-face confrontations with people, when there is nothing that makes us feel more like we want to crawl under a rock. But there is a solution. I hereby give you permission, from this day forward, to communicate your needs through the written word, whenever and to whomever you want, without feeling guilty about it. So send that email. Write that letter and leave it in your neighbor's mailbox. As long as you state your needs as honestly and respectfully as possible, it's all good.
The Takeaway
Many introverts communicate much more effectively in writing. Use that to your advantage.
Step 3: Maintain Your Boundaries
Even after you've identified what you need and found the courage to ask for it, sometimes the other party will still try to push your buttons (by being consciously manipulative) or forget your previous requests (by being unconsciously oblivious). So, sometimes, you have to go through the whole process again. The upside is that every time you go through it, you get more practice on how to take back your power.
The Takeaway
Asking once might not be enough. If you have to repeat yourself, that's okay. Think of it as a practice.
Step 4: Hold Responsibility Only for Yourself
When you're evaluating your needs, you might be tempted to push them aside so that your coworker can go on enjoying his crazy loud dance music every morning. When asking for your needs, you might try to soothe someone else's defensive reactions. When maintaining a boundary, you might give in when someone tries to tear down your fence because they've always been allowed into your garden before, and now they don't like feeling left out. The reactions of other people are not your responsibility. They never have been and they never will be.
The Takeaway
You are responsible for your stuff and everyone else is responsible for theirs. You're not helping anyone by trying to manage the emotions of other people.
Speaking up for your needs isn't easy. But if you're truly committed to living your best life, then it must be done. And the more you do it, the more you'll be able to readily identify what's yours, what belongs to other people, and how to draw the line between the two. You'll come to a place where you step into your own power consistently, with passion and purpose.
And when you look into the mirror, you'll respect the person looking back at you, because you'll know that person speaks up for their needs.

I'm going to make this intro short and sweet, became that's exactly what I was looking for when I was doing research on Europe backpacking. I would say that my own personal travel style is 40% planner/60% 'we'll figure it out there', so I wasn't exactly looking for a play-by-play itinerary but I was interested in finding average prices and recommended routes.
Europe Budget-Backpacking | FAQ
For how long did you plan your trip?
I've always had a passion for traveling and seeing the world, but the idea to backpack Europe for an extended period of time first came to me in December of 2014. I knew I wanted to travel in the summer, so that gave me around five months to plan it. The first thing I did was set up a savings plan, a budget, and a 'dream list' of all the cities I wanted to go to. After that, it was just a matter of figuring out the details.
Europe Budget-Backpacking | Travel Journal
Day 1-2 - Reykjavik, Iceland
Jackie and I finally made it to Reykjavik, Iceland after 20+ hours of travel. We flew from Orlando to Newark, Newark to Boston, and Boston to Reykjavik. The most notable experience from that part of the trip were by far the Wow Airline stewardesses. I guess Wow takes a lot of pride in their very Pan-am-esque crew, cause they dedicate a whole brochure in every seat explaining the very strict beauty regimen they go through, and tips on how to achieve it yourself. It covers eyelash extensions, to say the least.
Santorini Guide | Where To Stay & What To Do!
When people think of Santorini they think of Oia. The white-washed buildings, the sky-blue roofs, the beautiful ocean view – that's all Oia. I fell in love with this little northern village when I visited, and when I go back to Santorini this is where I'm headin' for sure! Oia is small and expensive, so I wouldn't choose to stay here if you're on a budget, but fear not, the island has a ton of inexpensive public buses running there all day.

Join millions of players in one of the most competitive football games ever created.
In Call of War, players take the reigns over a multitude of nations during the darkest hours of human history: The Second World War. They have to build up their cities, expand their countries, manage their economics, bargain with other rulers, spy their enemies, forge strong alliances and build a powerful army to prepare for the call of war. Similar to Supremacy 1914 players have a great strategic overview over a huge historical map, on which they can order their commands and see their armies move in real time.
One of Call of Wars most exciting new features is the option to research a wide array of technological advancements. Players can not only choose which technological paths they want to research but also use the strengths and weaknesses of different units to perfect their individual strategy. Whether they want to tank rush their opponents, establish air superiority, flood the lands with battalions of infantry, bombard beaches with mighty naval fleets or dominate with the help of secret weapons such as nuclear bombers or V2 rockets – everything is possible in Call of War.
There are no awards for this game!

ODOT officials realized it's not a good time to begin another road project one Route 30 between Canton and East Canton. So construction crews will wait until Aug. 6 before working on a project at Route 30 and Trump Avenue.
State officials have delayed plans for improvements at the intersection of U.S. Route 30 and Trump Avenue.
Crews were set to begin work Friday on the Ohio Department of Transportation project. But the start time has been moved to Aug. 6, after next week's Pro Football Hall of Fame Festival and induction ceremonies.
ODOT officials realized the timing was bad, ODOT spokesman Brent Kovacs said. "We're just trying to make way for all of the Hall of Fame visitors."
The decision to delay the project comes days after a Repository editorial that noted ODOT's planned work comes at a bad time and will further bog traffic in the area.
Two road projects — bridge repair work on Tuscarawas Street E just west of Trump Avenue and rebuilding the intersection of Trump Avenue and Georgetown Street NE — have led to traffic delays and congestion in the area. Adding construction work at Trump and Route 30 likely would make things worse.
ODOT plans to install raised concrete medians at the intersection of Route 30 and Trump Avenue. The project's goal is to prevent vehicles from crossing the centerline while passing through the intersection. ODOT plans to have the $600,000 project finished in late October.
While the work is being done, crews will close one of two left turn lanes from westbound Route 30 to southbound Trump Avenue SE. There could be other lane restrictions.

Do England's homosexuals outnumber Anglicans?
By Diogenes (articles ) | Jul 10, 2003
The subtitle of the op-ed column in the Guardian says it all: "When is the C of E going to realise that homosexuality is now more popular in Britain than Christianity?"
Author Zoe Williams inveighs against the Anglican "extremists" and "homophobes" who oppose the gay-rights agenda. But that's old hat. What really stings is her analysis of survey data, which shows a clear rise in active homosexuality alongside a fall in Anglican church attendance. Any way you look at the statistics, she concludes, "you're still left with the C of E commanding fewer adherents, and you are also faced with the more important truth that churchgoers are an ageing population, whereas gay people are not."

It's been a long time coming, but the Anglicans are starting to find out that they really aren't needed anymore. For nearly four centuries they've tried to be the niche of Christianity that claimed to follow Christ yet accomodate Caesar's perversions. Now the perverts outnumber them and have given notice that they don't need to be accomodated with a thin veneer of Christianity. This is going to put a lot of semi-Christians out of work.
