It is a very nice morning today however one can feel that the day will be hot. I am in my office admiring the sunrise and writing. My office is quite small but I have like two sections in it – one is at the desk where I sit when I have to work. And the other section is a tub chair hidden in the corner of the room where I escape to my "dream world". Yesterday I had to sit at my desk but today I can sit in my little corner... And the rose you gave me is still on my desk...
Last night was very pleasant, though maybe a bit cool. Plenty of beetles flying around the outside lights. And of course plenty of stars in the sky. Yesterday I could not see any falling stars. But couple of weeks ago with Darcy we were sitting in an open bay of one of the sheds and we watched the sky (I am not sure how much Darcy was watching the sky and how much was she watching for kangaroos and rabbits, but anyway we were sitting together) and then we saw a big falling star. It was lovely. Sometimes I can see the Milky Way quite clearly, but I could not last night – maybe because I did not look for it.... And then during the night the moon woke me up – it was only half-moon but very bright. I watched it for a while... and then fell asleep again.
I know that you would never step over the line or do anything to hurt me in any way. Around you I feel very safe and calm. Actually I would prefer to tell
you this in person (and maybe one day I will if I do not forget) - I have never felt so safe with anybody else as I do with you – not even with Adam
(with him from the beginning I knew that one day he will hurt me...). The safety feeling you give me is one of the reasons why I bump into you so often.
I know you will not believe it because of the experience you have with me but actually I am a person who needs a space and does not like other people to
come to close (it is only you and George that I bump into, though with George I have to be careful... I think with George it is more me looking for the
safety than feeling it and it gets me into troubles...) Even if somebody accidentally touches my hand it is almost like electroshock for me. However with
you it was always different. I know it is a little kind of funny thing and seemingly not important but for me it was big. One day probably a few month ago
we were discussing something and you were showing me something on the screen. At the end I noticed that my hand was touching yours and my first thought was
"This is weird. I did not get electrocuted". Usually as soon as somebody touches me I forget everything what I am doing and I have to "solve the problem" -
even if it is just saying sorry and take my hand away. But with you I even did not notice it...
And that Tuesday night when we had the dinner together at the end I felt like giving you a hug (I hardly can remember that I ever felt like giving somebody a hug and for sure never to a guy), but... I did not want to confuse you... I did not want you to think that I am just one more woman trying to confuse you. So I did not do it...
I have to go now and get ready for my trip. I think we will leave around 11 am, but Penny will come around 9 am (she will look after Darcy and the property), so I do not want to walk around in my pyjamas ;) And I also have to do some watering before we go.
We arrived at our destination. It is not too bad – George relaxed a bit. We went for 10 min to the beach, but it was... too windy. And then we thought
(or better I hoped and George mentioned it) that we could have pizza at the beach, but... Too windy and the sand was blowing and it would get dark and...
OK, we ended up having the pizza in the motel – much easier.
And do you know what I wanted to do? I know that you know but I will tell you anyway. I thought it would be lovely to sit on the sand, eat the pizza and watch the wind blowing the sand around. And watch the waves hitting the shores in the light of sun setting down. And when it gets dark, then just lay on the sand and watch the stars and enjoy the moment. And then go for a walk along the beach and on the illuminated ways near the water. Very romantic :)
I was in this town many years ago when I travelled on my own on the motorbike – at that time I was mentally in pain but at the same time I had a lot of freedom and I felt happy... It probably does not help me much as well ;)
I am not sure what we will be doing tomorrow. We were doing some planning but at this stage nothing is sure... It would be nice to go to the beach, but... it could be windy so it will not be good. I would be happy to stay there on my own, but for George – walking in town it would be boring and staying in the motel it is also not much fun. We could go for a drive, but for sure there will be a lot of traffic (tomorrow is Prawns festival here...)... Amazing how complicated life can be – I am very lucky that my life was always very simple :)
It is evening now and I am sitting with Buddy and writing - Buddy is hiding underneath the blanket. I do not want to talk about him because... Buddy is only this what is nice – peacefulness, safety, calmness, good memories and so on. I do not want to put any shadows on him. And I would hear for sure something stupid in regards to him – either that I am stupid or not practical or childish or whatever (I know it because I also have Bugs Bunny whom I got many years ago back in EU – I heard comments about him... Bugs Bunny travelled with me a lot but now I think the time came that he should stay at home...). So I am not going to introduce Buddy to anybody at home – except Darcy :)
In the morning it was a bit... sad but at the same time funny. George was not in the best mood (the cattle damaged one of the trees again...). Then Penny came and together we should have a coffee/tea. I could hear George complaining about something all the time, so I found an excuse and did not join them. I just needed a break from the constant complains. After a while Penny came to me and said: "How can you stand the negativity? I am completely drained after 20 min. How can you survive 3 hours in the car?" The funny part is that these are not the 3 hours in the car (actually during the drive we hardly spoke). This is every day when I am at home. As I told you George has issues with himself and depression. He sees everything negative. Does not matter how little the thing is he will see why it is bad. And I am trying to help him out of this. But the more I try the more he falls deeper into it. As if he does not want to get out of it, however I know that it is very difficult for him. And he kind of hates me for who I am. That I never worry and almost never get angry (only get upset when he pushes me for hours; ok I get sometimes upset at work, but it is more frustration than anger and as soon as I leave the building I forget about this anyway ;) He hates that I always laugh and I am always happy. That I can find pleasure in the little things in life and they make me so happy. He often used to say to me "Do not think that you are so strong that nothing can break you. One day something will break you as well. You are not as strong as you think you are" And I used to answer "I know that I also can get broken, but if I break everything here falls apart. Do you want it?" He did not want it but he did not change much... Now he does not say this as often as before, he changed it a bit and now he says more often that if I do not change if I do not start thinking more, if I do not become more responsible and taking life more seriously then he will turn away from me even more. He will not talk to me and we will be living next to each other instead of living together. (In some respect he takes me for granted and because of our situation and this who or how I am he... can; complicated story...)
Because of his negative attitude to life (which has its roots in his childhood and I understand the roots, but unfortunately I cannot change them and therefore I do not think that I can change his outlook on life) sometimes he thinks very irrational. For example when I am happy he thinks that I am laughing at him. And I am laughing at him because I am using him and his work. He is working here on the farm for me and I just use him and laugh at him and I am not doing anything. And this makes him furious. Though actually he knows that all this is not true. It is why in the end he is angry with me when I am at home and misses me when I am in the city. He feels bad when I have to drive to the city and he knows anyway that I work very hard – in the city in the office and on the farm. (And for me... Though I hate the city I need it to have a break...)
I believe that there are difficulties in every marriage, does not matter how much people are connected to each other and how much they love each other. As soon as we start living together with our partner, our loved one, we discover new aspects of the person we love and we have to learn to accept some things and adjust ourselves to the new situation. And life will also throw many new difficulties and new situations at us, situations we have never experienced before. For me the art of happiness in the marriage is to learn to overcome all the difficulties together and then it will work. But it is not enough if only one person tries... When two people truly love each other (not just feel sexual attraction or "fall in love" with each other) and have the special connection between them, then the marriage will be great. Because as soon as we love, we want to make the other person happy, we do not think about ourselves and we are not afraid of being hurt by the other person and therefore we are not restricting how much we will give. If two people want to give they build a very strong connection between themselves. It is like stretching hands and holding onto each others. On the contrary, if two people only want to take, then there is no hope, there is no connection as nobody stretches the hands... And if one person tries? How much load can one person bear?
I was told that a marriage is like a theatre play – all depends on the actors. That life is like the play and the couple like actors. Does not matter how the scenario is, what matters are the actors. Two good actors can make from the worst scenario, a show that they get standing ovation. But two bad actors will make from the best scenario a... boring disaster.
With George we are very different – like black and white. Furthermore he is constantly afraid that I could use him and that he is giving too much. All the time counting
what he has done what I have done. Though at the same time he knows very well that I could not use anybody. He is very confused in himself...
Nevertheless at the end he is a good man who tries to help everybody and I know that in his way he loves me and cares about me and above all he trusts me a lot and therefore gives me the freedom I need and this is very important to me. I can catch up and be friends with whomever I want to (we both know that any other husband could get a bit upset if his wife comes home with a rose from another man ;) And that he did not get upset is not because he is stupid but because he trusts me...). And I promised him that I will never ever have any sex-affair or in any way disadvantage him financially.
And he also gives me the freedom to travel – I went a couple of times on holidays oversees by myself. I could travel much more, but that I do not do it, has more to do with the farm. I wanted the farm and it was for me, so I cannot expect George to work on the farm for me while I am travelling – I have to work as well and get it all going (in some respect, it is the farm which took some of my travel freedom away from me, not George ;). And it is why when we go somewhere we try to go together – I want him to get out of the house to relax a bit. Yes, it is hard work for me and yes I am very restricted in my freedom when we do go somewhere. And to go for long travels together... I am not sure if I am strong enough to do this... However... In some respect he is in the situation he is in because of me, so I should not complain or say anything...
One day I will again travel a lot...
Somehow I feel sorry for George... I feel sorry that somebody at his age has so little experience in life and such difficulties in dealing with life issues. And that he is so scared of life and after all life is so beautiful...
Nevertheless all the differences between us have nothing to do with age (these are our personalities, characters, upbringing, completely different ways of thinking and absolutely lack of connection – but it is a different story...). He might be 22 years older but similarly like you with Dora, I never think about or feel the age difference. Or if sometimes I feel some age difference then it feels more like he is mentally and emotionally about 25 years younger than I am ;) The age our body reaches has nothing to do with the mental or emotional age – and it is also something what society does not understand. As I probably said before there are plenty of people in their 60-ties or 70-ties who have understanding and maturity of 20 years old... As there are some younger people who have experience and maturity of 80 years old...
And to complete the "age difference shock" - can you guess the age difference between my great grand father and his second wife (his first wife died when he was in his early 70-ties). The difference was 35 years and they still lived happily together for 20 years :) Crazy isn't it – it is the crazy world I came from ;)
We went to the beach today and it was... not too bad. Of course the day started not very good – the first problem was... too small shower which made George angry...
(I did not notice it, but OK, George is bigger than I – not fat, but in shoulder and muscles, so it could be too small). Then was the usual session about how bad the world
is and after it we went to the beach and... it was windy. First I got into troubles because when I moved my towel some sand came on George. So I went on the other side
of George. But it also was not good as then I was protected from the wind and I did not get so much sand as George did. George changed the position again and we ended up
so that I also got a lot of the wind and sand. And you know what? I just enjoyed it :) It felt great to feel the sun and the sand and wind on my skin. At some point we
went for a swim and again I got into troubles. I run into the water but George got angry that it is stupid because there could be current and it could take me into the
ocean and... I would die... OK, this put my mood a bit down, but I stayed in the water for some time and played by myself and still had fun :)
For lunch we went to other town on the coast. At the coffee shop George was watching every single person and complaining about them – how they park what they do (as you can imagine the only thing which I was watching were... the sea eagles). At some point listening to George's complains and observations I could not help myself and... I started laughing (you know that I can laugh in inappropriate moments... I still feel bad that I laughed that time about your wife in the cinema... I am sorry...)
Luckily George also found it funny and... at the end the lunch was nice. After the lunch we went a bit for a walk, but... as soon as I could sense some stress we went back (maybe here the age difference is visible?... Or was it the usual complaining... I do not know). The rest of the day was quite nice ending with a dinner at Indian Restaurant at the water. And after we went for a walk I did not need to keep the usual 1m distance ;) Hands-holding – oh no, it lasted for a minute, but it was much to much stress and inconvenience for George ;)
One day I will come back to this town and then I will walk on all the path and discover all the hidden places. One day when the time is right... And today I am happy that I achieved my other goal – George relaxed quite a bit and at least the evening was without stress and anger. And it was the main goal of the trip – to get him to relax a bit.
I was just thinking that when I try to talk about nature in English so many words are missing... When I lived in my home country I knew names (in my native language of course) of all the birds and animals living there and the names of plants and stars. But since I emigrated and learned other languages this knowledge is non-existent. I can communicate in 3 languages, but my vocabulary is very limited. Somehow I never needed the words connecting us with nature and I did not even notice the lack of knowledge in that particular area. But since we started talking when I read your emails I had to google quite a few words – thank you for teaching me this. Now I realised myself how far away I got from the things I love... I never missed these vocabulary because there was nobody I could talk to about this things...
I know that at some point I said that I do not want to talk about money, but... In respect to money I always feel somehow naive compare to rich people. I always think
that they feel somehow sorry for me that I am so naive and inexperience in my little world of the poor. Anyway the last couple of evenings we have had, gave me the
perfect example why, in all my stupidity and naivety, I still think that financially I am in a better position than many rich people. I might not have the money and
the assets which they have but if I lose my job tomorrow and I do not have a job for months then... nothing changes for me (except I could start work on my other career).
My life standard stays the same as it is now. OK, George would complain even more and he would be very stressed and so on, but I am used to it anyway...
Divorce (I hope I will not have to go through this)... would be a little problem but... A bit different problem than usual couples have... If we lived in a house in suburbs even multimillion dollars house then – I would just walk away and start from the beginning (I already started few times from the beginning, so I know how it is and what I am talking about... I might be a bit older now but only in the body not in the spirit; and in the worst case I always can go back where I came from). But with the farm... It is different story...
Today we had some discussions with George about us and our marriage and I think this is how I came on the money topic again. Does not matter...
In one of your email you said that it is good that I found you when I did, but I think that actually you found me as... I was there all the time waiting for you. You chose the for you right time to find me... And I am happy you found me :)
I was sick today in the morning because of the sun yesterday – I always get sick at the beginning of summer when I get too much sun. I am simply not used to the Aussie sun and the same happens every summer here. George was very caring – in materialistic sense, he gave me everything what he thought I needed and in his opinion could help me. It was quite nice though it would be nicer if he had some feelings as well...And of course as soon as I got better troubles started...
Anyway, when we came home I thought we would have barbie with Penny (we discussed it earlier) but she had to go... I think she just had an excuse to avoid George's
negativity. It is too draining for her. And why do I say it? I always tell her that she can come and stay at our place whenever she likes. And she always says thanks
for the invite but never comes. Couple of weeks ago I said that George will be going for few days away to visit his friend and I will stay at home by myself. And she
immediately got excited and said "Great, so I can stay at your place again!"
Somehow sad... everybody avoids George... But I have to admit I am completely drained after the weekend and somehow I am looking forward to going to work again (maybe not so much the work is exciting as the other stuff :)
The rose in my office looked very tired and not so good any-more on my desk, so I took it out to my place next to the dam and hid it there amongst the bushes. This is my place where I like to hide, where I can be on my own or now with Buddy and Darcy...
A lot of Wings,

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (WTVA/Ole Miss Sports) - Behind a strong outing from Kaitlin Lee and more than solid play by the Rebel defense, Ole Miss (13-7, 0-3 SEC) kept Sunday's series finale at Texas A&M (24-3, 3-0 SEC) tight throughout but was unable to break through offensively, falling to the Aggies 2-0.
Despite a great showing in the circle, Lee was saddled with the loss. The Gulfport native allowed just five hits in the game, surrendering two runs in six complete innings.
The Rebels best chance to score came in the third inning when Paige McKinney led off the frame with a double just inside the left field foul line. However, second was as far as McKinney would get as three-straight outs for the Rebels followed.
With Lee humming along heading into the fifth inning, the Rebels were unfortunate to surrender two runs to the Aggies in the frame. Following an 11-pitch battle ending in a walk, Texas A&M registered back-to-back bloop singles and an infield base knock to bring in a pair.
The Rebels brought the tying run to the plate in the seventh after Kylan Becker legged out an infield single but Alex Schneider was punched out on a close pitch inside for the third out.
Ole Miss will remain on the road on Wednesday, travelling to Hammond, Louisiana to take on Southeastern Louisiana at 5 p.m. The game will be streamed live on LionSports.net

Best of the Web botw.org is the one directory I really consider anymore. DMOZ is pretty much a joke, its too hard to get listed, Yahoo has relegated themselves to irrelevancy and having an annual fee as opposed to a one time fee makes it hard to get a positive ROI on all but the highest earning sites. BOTW is a paid directory, but it is a real directory, not just a spam one, it has decent PR, and I find it worthwhile to pay for the listings, a one time fee means eventually your ROI will be positive, pretty much no matter what.
I am buying a listing today and almost forgot about this coupon, only good for October, so not much longer, but its 20% off. If you have a new site or a site you want to buy some link juice for, consider it. The coupon code is "SAVE20." They only do coupons once or twice a year, so this is a good opportunity.

The Future of Supply Chain Management is Here. Are You Ready?
Despite claims to the contrary, supply chain management (SCM) is far from dead. In the provocatively named "The Death of Supply Chain Management" article in the Harvard Business Review, the authors predict that the supply chain function itself will be obsolete in five to ten years, replaced by a self-regulating utility that manages itself.
While artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, machine learning, sensor data from the Internet of Things (IoT), robots, and other technological advances will certainly change how the supply chain is managed—potentially in ways that haven't yet been foreseen—one thing is certain: there will always be a supply chain in some form and it will always need to be managed in some way (whether by humans, machines, or both).
That said, we agree with the vision of the future of supply chain management expressed in the article, one in which high quality, real-time data will fuel end-to-end visibility into global supply chains, with humans managing exceptions while the rest of the supply chain is self-regulating.
SCM Software Will Facilitate, Not Replace Humans
Instead of the supply chain being dead, it's probably more accurate to say that the way supply chains are managed and the legacy SCM tools used to manage them are dead or dying. That's because in today's hypercompetitive, dynamic environment, companies can no longer afford to have blind spots throughout the supply chain, with inaccurate data and/or long latency in receiving supply chain updates.
Today's complex supply chain is impossible to manage effectively and efficiently without visibility across the entire ecosystem. Companies that lack end-to-end visibility can only react to unplanned events once they happen and are unable to plan and manage risk proactively.
SCM Tools Will Center Around Visibility
To transform the SCM function, leading companies are adopting new technologies and SCM software across the entire supply chain. According to analyst firm Gartner, "technology innovation—from artificial intelligence to blockchain—is intertwined with supply chain management (SCM) strategy and operations. This means SCM is on its way to becoming technology-centric as opposed to simply technology-enabled."
The centerpiece of the digitally transformed supply chain is real-time, end-to-end visibility. In fact, Gartner predicts that end-to-end supply chain visibility will become mainstream in the next two to five years, giving companies timely, accurate, and complete views of plans, events, and data across the entire supply chain, including external partners.
Bain & Company reports that end-to-end visibility is one of the seven trends transforming supply chains, with "digital processes and tools allowing companies, suppliers, and customers to respond to real-time updates of all activities."
AI and Machine Learning Are Optimizing Supply Chain
According to BSR (Business for Social Responsibility), a nonprofit that works with companies and partners to build a just and sustainable world, "Technological advances are catalyzing the digitalization of supply chain management, changing how products and services are made and delivered, and enabling the creation and sharing of supply chain information in new ways by a more diverse set of actors."
However, digitization of the supply chain is not enough to deliver end-to-end visibility. Gaining real-time, end-to-end visibility requires even more advanced technologies; specifically, it takes artificial intelligence and machine learning to do what humans alone cannot.
Companies that are still reluctant to transform their supply chain with advanced technology such as artificial intelligence will find themselves in the laggard category when it comes to performance in the near future. Gartner writes, "For years there has been an ongoing debate in the supply chain industry as to whether technology is, or should be, a competitive advantage. That debate may well be over. In a recent Gartner survey of supply chain professionals, 65 percent said the answer is yes."
In fact, consulting firm McKinsey predicts that artificial intelligence will create $1.3 trillion dollars in economic value in supply chain operations in the next 20 years.
SCM software is one of the most promising areas for applying AI and ML technologies. Some of the top use cases include:
Data cleansing and enhancements
Predictive analytics for better decision making, automation of manual tasks, and improved business outcomes
Image recognition for inventory management
Automating manual, repetitive processes
Cost and price optimization
Virtual agents/assistants for supply chain questions
The ROI of SCM Software is Real
Deploying technology such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, the IoT, and more to gain end-to-end visibility is already being shown to deliver tangible business value to companies integrating it into the future of their supply chain management. For example, the Boston Consulting Group reports that improved visibility creates value by allowing companies to:
Increase revenue by improving demand fulfilled by 4 to 6 percent
Reduce manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution costs by as much as 20 percent
Decrease inventory levels and reduce working capital associated with inventory by as much as 30 percent
Where is the Future of Supply Chain Management Headed?
Visibility is not the only SCM software that will impact supply chain management in the future. Social learning platforms, solution-centric supply chains, targeted segmentation, and SCM process-as-a-service are all emerging trends and technologies predicted to affect SCM in the next two to five years.

Right now you might be saying, "What free gift??"
It's the gift of "salvation" - but what is salvation? First, let's see what salvation is not. Salvation is not the same thing as "religion."
That's right - when you have a girlfriend or boyfriend (or you get married), do you want a "religious experience" with that person, or do you want a relationship with them? You want a relationship, of course! The same holds true with God - He just wants a one-on-onerelationship with you, like you would have with a friend. The difference is, there's no way to "earn" this gift of a relationship with God, because it's free. In fact, the Bible says that it is "by grace you have been saved through faith... it is the gift of God, not of works, so that no one can boast," (Ephesians 2:8, 9). Do you remember when you were younger? At Christmas when your mom or dad gave you Christmas gifts, did you have to pay for them? Of course not. The same holds true with God.
But what if you're already a "good person"?
Maybe you already believe in God, haven't killed anyone, and all that? Why should you care about salvation? First of all, there's no such thing as a "good person." God says in Romans 3:23 that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." We are all separated from God by sin - until we ask Jesus into our hearts. Secondly, it isn't enough to just believe there is a God. Jesus said that unless you are "born again," you cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3:3). Being "born again" means more than just believing that Jesus Christ/God exists - it means asking Jesus into your heart by faith, totally relying on what He did on the cross for you. He has forgiven all of your sins.
So you think that you've done some "horrible" things?
You're a "bad person"? You might be thinking that there's no way God could forgive you. The truth is, God says in John 6:37 that anyone who comes to Him will not be cast out! Remember that if you could save yourself (by being "good," or becoming a church member, or even by being water-baptized), there would have been no point in Jesus dying on the cross. He died because there is no way you can save yourself.
To receive God's free gift of salvation, you just need to ask Him for it. Pray this prayer - based on Romans 10:9, 10 in the Bible:
"Jesus, I confess that I need You. My own works are not good enough. I have sinned, and I need to receive this free gift. I confess you as Lord, and believe in my heart that God raised you from the dead. Lord Jesus, fill me with your Holy Spirit; guide me to a Bible-believing church; and help me to read your Word. Thank you for dying for me."
You are now a born again Christian.
Remember, you're not "religious." Instead, you have a personal, one-on-one relationship with God. You can think of God the Father as your "spiritual dad" (remember He is a good Father). Think of God the Son (Jesus) as your Lord and Savior - as your "best friend." Think of God the Spirit (the Holy Spirit) as the Spirit of God that lives in you. Think about it - God actually wants to live "in you"!
If anyone ever comes to you and asks if you're sure that you're going to Heaven, you can say "yes," because of what Jesus did on the cross! Think about this verse from the Bible, found in 2 Corinthians 5:17. "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, He is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." Now you can live not by how you "feel," but by who God says you are. God says you are now His son or daughter (Galatians 3:26, 27)!

Johannesburg - Reeva Steenkamp's mom, June has opened up about Oscar being eligible for house arrest after ten months behind bars.
Oscar's lawyer, Johan Kruger, revealed on Monday that they were hoping that the former paralympian would be released as soon as August.
The former athlete was sentenced to five years in prison for the shooting of his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day in 2013.
Following the statements by his lawyer, June has told The Citizen that spending ten months in jail for taking Reeva's life was not enough.
"I don't think its a good idea to let him back in society so quickly. He shot my daughter through that door where she had no space to move or defend herself. One of the bullets blew her brains out, it is disgusting what he did to her…10 months is just not enough," she told the paper.
Even though June says that she has forgiven Oscar and does not want him to suffer, she feels that he has to pay for what he has done.
"Justice must be done, otherwise there will be chaos," she added.

Blacksad is brilliant." – Joe Gordon, Forbidden Planet
• 2006 Angoulême Comics Festival Prize for Best Series
Private investigator John Blacksad is up to his feline ears in mystery, digging into the backstories behind murders, child abductions, and nuclear secrets.
Guarnido's sumptuously painted pages and rich cinematic style bring the world of 1950s America to vibrant life, with Canales weaving in fascinating tales of conspiracy, racial tension, and the "red scare" Communist witch hunts of the time. Guarnido reinvents anthropomorphism in these pages, and industry colleagues no less than Will Eisner, Jim Steranko, and Tim Sale are fans!
Whether John Blacksad is falling for dangerous women or getting beaten to within an inch of his life, his stories are, simply put, unforgettable.
• Dark Horse is very proud to present the first three Blacksad stories in a beautiful new collection, completely relettered to the artist's specifications and with the latest album, Red Soul, in English for the very first time.
• This internationally acclaimed series has won nearly a dozen prestigious awards – including the Angoulême Comics Festival prizes for Best Series and Best Artwork – and is a three-time Eisner Award nominee.
"Guarnido's exceptional ink and watercolor style draws in readers immediately, but it's Canales' intricate and moody storytelling that keeps them coming back." – Comic Book Daily
"Writer Díaz and illustrator Guarnido take the detective noir genre and breathe new life into it with a trio of anthropomorphic animal gumshoe dramas centering around John Blacksad, a methodical PI who conducts his investigations in early 1950s America … Blacksad is a comics classic." – Publishers Weekly
Comic Book Resources
•Comics website
"Blacksad is a noir tale, and a truly excellent one at that … this is a tremendous comic. As always, it's the way these tales are told that makes them special, and Blacksad is a compelling character, as are most of the others in this book. Even if you're not a fan of noir, the art alone is worth checking out, because Guarnido does such a brilliant job on it."
Comics Alliance
•Comics website and blog
"Guarnido and Canales' mastery is such that Blacksad remains nothing short of engrossing, as transportive and immersive a reading experience you will encounter… A special series."
Forbidden Planet
•Comics retailer
"The great thing about Blacksad stories is that they manage to incorporate serious issues with a bit of depth as well as being an entertaining genre read, without it ever feeling as if things have been shoe-horned in for the sake of weight or meaning."

We are Fashion Revolution. We are people from all around the world who make the fashion industry work. We are the people who wear clothes. And we are the people who make them.
We are designers, academics, writers, business leaders, policymakers, brands, retailers, marketers, producers, makers, workers and fashion lovers. We are the industry and we are the public. We are world citizens. We are you.
We believe in a fashion industry that values people, the environment, creativity and profit in equal measure.
We want to unite people and organisations to work together towards radically changing the way our clothes are sourced, produced and consumed, so that our clothing is made in a safe, clean and fair way.
We believe that collaborating across the whole value chain — from farmer to consumer — is the only way to transform the industry.
Our mission is to bring everyone together to make that happen.
Fashion Revolution is a global movement that runs all year long.
We celebrate fashion as a positive influence while also scrutinising industry practices and raising awareness of the fashion industry's most pressing issues. We aim to show that change is possible and encourage those who are on a journey to create a more ethical and sustainable future for fashion.
Fashion Revolution strives to be action-oriented and solution focused. Rather than making people feel guilty, we help them recognise that they have the power to do something to make a positive change.
We often call ourselves "pro-fashion protesters" because we love fashion and want to see it become a force for good.
We try to always be bold, provocative, inquisitive, accessible and inclusive. We tend to avoid negative protesting, victimising and naming and shaming. We do not target specific individual companies because we believe that the industry's problems are bigger than any one company's actions. We do not advocate boycotting simply because we don't see it as an effective way to achieve systemic change.[1]
Fashion Revolution Week is our #whomademyclothes campaign in April, which falls on the anniversary of the Rana Plaza factory collapse, which killed 1138 people and injured many more on 24th April 2013. That is the day Fashion Revolution was born. During this week, brands and producers are encouraged to respond with the hashtag #imadeyourclothes and to demonstrate transparency in their supply chain.
Fashion Revolution is represented by two separate entities in the UK, Fashion Revolution CIC and the Fashion Revolution Foundation. These organisations spearhead the global network of official Fashion Revolution Country Offices and the volunteer Country Coordination teams. All Fashion Revolution organisations work to ensure that our clothing is made in a safe, clean and fair way, but often pursue different activities. This enables the Fashion Revolution movement to pursue all work necessary to change the way our clothes are sourced, produced and consumed.
The Fashion Revolution Foundation is the charitable arm of Fashion Revolution in the UK. The Foundation is a registered charity in England & Wales (Number 1173421), and a company limited by guarantee (Number 10494997) that funds Fashion Revolution's education, research and awareness-raising activities, as well as our public events. The Fashion Revolution Foundation Board of Trustees is responsible for overall control and administration of the Foundation. The trustees have also determined that the best way for the Trust to fulfil its objective is to support the charitable aspects of campaigns undertaken by Fashion Revolution.
Fashion Revolution CIC is a non-profit social enterprise (Community Interest Company No. 8988812) that employs staff and runs our political campaigning work to ensure that global supply chain transparency and responsibility are on the agenda of government's worldwide. The Senior Management Team (SMT) is responsible for organising and managing the primary groups that create, direct and oversee Fashion Revolution globally. The SMT works closely with the CIC members and the Fashion Revolution Foundation Board of Trustees.
Fashion Revolution Country Offices Are legally registered non profit organisations in several countries and form the official, year round affiliation network. The Country Offices work in direct collaboration with Fashion Revolution CIC and Foundation, they advise and help to develop the global strategy on various levels and they also create, pursue and develop their own regional strategies, for programming and fundraising.
Fashion Revolution Country Coordinators (CCs)are individuals and their teams who voluntarily take on the roles and responsibilities associated with this position. They come from all areas of the fashion industry, give Fashion Revolution its strength and reach and provide people around the world with the opportunity to engage, in particular during fashion Revolution Week. There is only one CC per country appointed by the CIC. They are responsible to the CIC and carry out important functions such as: to facilitate and distribute Fashion Revolution campaign materials, communication strategy and policy asks; coordinate and activate all the stakeholders within their country to engage with Fashion Revolution in accordance with the global guidelines; compile and submit annual reports on their impact, progress and feedback.
Donations made through the Fashion Revolution website will go to the Fashion Revolution Foundation (in order to enable us to claim Gift Aid, where appropriate, from our supporters) OR directly to a Country Office where they are established. Please be sure to check if your country can accept donations directly on their country page. You can find your Country Coordinator through the panel, below.
Fashion Revolution (both the Community Interest Corporation and Charitable Foundation) is generously funded by private foundations, institutional grants, commercial organisations and donations from individuals.
As stated in our Ethical Funding Policy, we follow strict and transparent guidelines about the funds we receive. We believe in a collaborative and inclusive approach where it is clear that others are genuinely working towards a fairer, safer, cleaner and more transparent clothing industry with positive outcomes for both people and planet.
We are grateful to the following organisations for their recent support:
We are currently funded by the Laudes Foundation for core activities as well as special projects such as the Fashion Transparency Index. The same parent group, COFRA GROUP, owns both C&A and Laudes Foundation. C&A, the global fashion retailer, is run and managed separately from Laudes Foundation, but the two entities share a vision for the apparel industry. Find more about how Laudes Foundation operates. We would like to highlight our fair treatment of fact and our non-biased approach to assessing C&A in the Fashion Transparency Index. We have mitigated any risk of a conflict of interest by the following three methods: viewing and treating C&A and the Laudes Foundation as separate entities; treating C&A like any other of the 199 brands we analysed; and not giving C&A any preferential treatment.
Currently, Fashion Revolution's Country Coordinators raise funds independent of Fashion Revolution CIC for activities in each of their own countries but are required to abide by the Ethical Funding Policy.

Utah bill allows fault as factor in determining spousal support
As you may be aware, Utah promotes the use of mediation when it comes to divorce, in an effort to help couples avoid bringing their problems in front of a judge. Divorce mediation is a useful tool in deciding issues such as child support, child custody, asset division, and even spousal support. With a contested divorce, mediation may not be successful and therefore, these issues are often decided in a court of law.
This year, the Utah State Legislature is being asked to approve a bill that would allow judges to use fault as a factor in determining spousal support, or alimony as it is more commonly called. Opponents of the bill say that putting such a law into effect would encourage spouses to throw accusations at each other. Supporters of the bill say that such a bill is needed in order for spouses to justify why they should be given spousal support. This would be especially important, they say, for victims of domestic violence and for spouses who have been cheated on.
If the bill was passed, it would have no effect on the granting of a divorce since Utah is a no-fault state and people can divorce for any reason they want to. The bill's sponsor, a former district court judge, pointed out that the bill would provide a guideline for judges as judges are often unsure of what comments should be allowed in relation to spousal support.
Both sides seem to have a valid point and it may be a hard issue for the state's House to decide. For those who want to avoid having a judge make that choice, it may be a good idea to seek out an attorney for mediation assistance.

About the theme
Disrupting unfair market competition has been the battlecry of the Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) since it was established in 2016.

Two years into its existence, the PCC remains unwavering in its commitment and mission to serve as a disruptive force that works to correct the uneven playing field across all industries and sectors in the Philippines.

On Memorial Day weekend I went to Governor Dodge State Park in Wisconsin with a few friends to do some hiking. It was my first trip out of Chicago since coming home from New Zealand and I was long overdue for some greenery. We braved the mosquitos and walked around the Stephens' Falls area, which is an easy loop that has a storage houses and other remnants from when the Stephens family occupied the land in the late 1800s. The namesake waterfall is tranquil, and the track is well maintained. There are many wildflowers, such as the Virginia waterleaf, daisies, dog roses, wood violets, and dandelions.

Morikami Japanese Gardens
The Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens is located in Delray Beach, FL and is a nice spot to relax and experience some nature. The gardens are lovely and the museum features work by Japanese artists. There is also an exhibit for children about traditional life in a Japanese home and also a variety of different types of gardens, showing how zen gardens have evolved. If you are so inclined, you can feed the koi fish in the pond as well. Try to go on a weekday when it's not so crowded so you can get the full peaceful benefit of the environment.
Lake St. Clair and Mt. Field National Park
Following my experiences at Cradle Mountain I was excited to take in more of the national parks of Tasmania. Luckily, Lake St. Clair and Mt. Field are just south of the mountain and the drive is puntuated by the lovely mining towns of Rosebery, Zeehan, Strahan and Queenstown.
Lake St. Clair is Australia's deepest lake and Mt. Field National Park is the oldest national park in Tassie. Both parks have several walking trails – as do most in Tasmania – and of course there are loads of waterfalls and species of wildlife to take in.
Kakadu National Park
After our Mary River cruise we finally made it to Kakadu National Park, a sprawling 20,000 square km area (that's half the size of Switzerland!) whose geological history extends millions of years and human history of over 40,000 years. Of course you can spend months exploring the park and not see everything, but the tour I was on just hit two highlights: the rock art of Ubirr and the swimming holes at Gunlom Falls. Both were extraordinary and I hope to make it back to Kakadu during my months working in Darwin. During the wet season the waterfalls are even more stunning and the wildlife is even more abundant.
Prydden Brook Falls in the Paugassett Forest
I didn't get to attend as many Meetup hikes with WCOA as I would have liked, but I did manage to join a Thursday evening hike in Newtown to the Prydden Brook Falls. It was the day after an epic rainstorm, so the falls were churning and the river was high. There were some beautiful flowers along the trail and the view of Lake Zoar was stunning. The Meetup group was pretty small – only 4 hikers and 2 dogs – but it was lovely company and the pace was exactly right.
All-in-all it was a wonderful, crisp day.
RTW Trip Roundup
My year (plus some) trip over three continents has finished and I'm still processing everything I saw and learned! I visited 20 countries in total. Here's a list of each country with something I will remember about it, as well as a gallery of photos which hadn't previously made it onto the blog.
- Peru: Amazing Incan ruins and yummy ceviche
- Bolivia: Unbelievable mountain views in the Yungas
- Argentina: Hiking and practicing my Spanish with locals
- Chile: The best street art I've ever seen
- Iceland: Gorgeous scenery and great food
- Germany: Beer gardens!
- Austria: All of the beautiful architecture, and staying with my friend Noemi
- Hungary: Staying with my good friend Dori and her mom
- Serbia: Eating lots of yummy meat and hiking in National Park Tara
- Romania: The kindest people in the world
- Bulgaria: Gorgeous views by the Black Sea
- Turkey: Hot air ballooning!
- Hong Kong: Hiking on Lantau Island with my friends Jane and James
- The Philippines: Kind people and interesting barbecue
- Vietnam: My amazing birthday trek in SaPa
- Laos: Learning about the Secret War
- Cambodia: Biking around Angkor Wat
- Thailand: Scuba diving!
- Malaysia: Eating my heart out in the food capital of Asia
- Singapore: Marveling at the modern architecture and efficiency of the city state
Thailand Roundup
I spent 74 days in Thailand, which beats my previous record from Bolivia! My budget was all over the place, as food, accommodation, and transport were extremely cheap up north and only moderately cheap down south, but then I added on loads of scuba diving, some Thai language lessons, a cooking class, and renewing nearly my entire wardrobe. Ultimately I panned out at an average of $35 per day including everything, which still isn't too bad!
I visited 8 places: Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pai, Sukothai, Koh Tao, Koh Samui, Khao Sok, and Ao Nang. I absolutely fell in love with Chiang Mai and would consider going back to live there semi-permanently in the future. It's a bit of a cliched expat center, but for good reason!
I also enjoyed checking out some cool street art and seeing the beautiful coral reefs of Koh Phi Phi. All in all, it was a wonderful 10 weeks!

To function properly, Cortana collects an enormous amount of personal, identifiable data, as stated by Microsoft in its Cortana, Search, and Privacy FAQ:
"When you use Cortana, Microsoft collects and uses information including your device location information and location history, contacts (People), voice input, searching history, calendar details, content and communication history from messages and apps, and other information on your device. In Microsoft Edge, Cortana collects and uses your browsing history."
"And other information" is particularly disturbing, because it could pertain to anything, and at the very least adds "speech and handwriting patterns, and typing history" to the data collected, as stated in the Getting to Know You section of Windows 10 privacy settings. It should be noted, however, that recording this data (however it's limited or not) is not restricted to only Cortana, because in the same section, Microsoft states Windows itself also records such information.
There are two methods of disabling Cortana. Disabling the Getting to Know You option turns off Cortana and stops collecting associated data in Cortana and Windows itself, which also means dictation will cease to function. If, however, you just want to stop collecting data in Cortana, you can disable only Cortana in the Cortana search pop-up.
Disabling "Getting to Know You"
1. Click the Start menu and select Settings.
2. Select Privacy.
3. Open the Speech, Inking, & Typing tab and click Stop Getting to Know Me.
4. Click Turn Off to disable associated data collection in Cortana and Windows.
Disabling Only Cortana
1. Click the search box, select the Notebook icon and choose Settings.
2. Click the On slider under the "Cortana can give you suggestions, ideas, reminders, alerts and more" section.
Once disabled, the slider should be grayed out and labeled Off:

Recent practices disclose situations where a settler not necessarily seeking asset protection would set up an International Business Company (IBC) with broad trust powers to administer a trust for the benefit of say, his children. Instead of hiring a separate unrelated and most likely expensive trust company the settler would form his own trust company, This is an important use of IBC's and is in contrast to the powers granted to corporate entities in the United States. In particular, corporations cannot exercise trust powers in the United States without expensive and elaborate compliance with government regulations. This no doubt destroys confidentiality and is usually cost inefficient. In this case the settler would himself supervise the exercise other trustee's powers over the trust.
Settler invariably want the knowledge and comfort that they can control the trust without direct ownership should there be an attack from creditors. Hence, when an IBC is used as a trustee for asset protection purposes, it is important for the settler not to own the stock of the IBC. The issue of bearer shares tends to blur the settler's ownership of the stock, or alternatively nominee shareholders may be utilized.
The most typical holding pattern is for a Belize trust to be created using an IBC as trustee. The trust then holds a majority interest in a limited partnership which is seized of the assets. An IBC is formed which is general partner of the limited partnership and therefore effectively controls, but does not own, the limited partnership and the assets thereof. The IBC general partner in turn is indirectly controlled by the settler through bearer shares or nominees shareholders. The scenario allows the settler to exercise control over the assets by virtue of his status as an officer of the corporate general partners while at the same time the partnership permits separation of ownership from control.

What do you want MORE of in life?
When I was younger I had a dream of travelling full time while making a living. I wanted the flexibility to work from wherever, whenever.
I wanted to be my own boss and set my own hours. The only problem was, I had absolutely no idea how to do it. So, I gave up on that dream and went on to work 60+ hours a week in a hospital with a commute and a boss. Although my nursing has been rewarding over the years, there were times when I felt out of control and I wanted more out of life. I wanted more meaning in my work, and to feel truly inspired by what I do…
…Then my dear friend introduced me to doTERRA. I started using the oils to manage stress, support healthy moods, immunity, and digestion and I was blown away by how simple they were to use and how well they worked!
For me, starting an essential oils business with doTERRA was a no-brainer.
I knew within 30 seconds of trying my first essential oil from doTERRA that I had found my calling. I was blown away by how quickly and easily the oils helped me to feel grounded, centred, calm, and normal after feeling out of control for so long. I knew right away that I had to help others find that same relief too. And why not make a living in the process? I've created financial and time freedom by growing a team of people who are creating their ideal lives through connecting people with answers to their health needs.
I finally feel fulfilled and accomplished and ready for the future. My family and I are now living the life that we want on our own terms! And I want that for YOU too! Don't you?
The products that we offer – from hair care, skin care, home care, and other personal care products – are all natural and infused with essential oils. And they help people!
It's a high quality, high demand, and consumable product that people order on a regular basis! Can any of those other at-home businesses say the same? How many tote bags can one person need? How many sets of knives or food storage containers?
Do you want to set your own hours, be the owner of your own business instead of an employee, and help people with their health?
Click below to learn more about the doTERRA opportunity!
In fact, doTERRA boasts a 65% average retention rate compared to the 15% industry retention average. doTERRA's focus is on caring for and educating people first, the product second, and the business opportunity last, and that's why customers stay.
Plus, we get to be part of a global billion dollar company AND the trillion dollar (and growing exponentially) health care industry! This is one of the top 5 fastest growing industries because it impacts every single man, woman, and child on the planet! Pretty awesome don't you think?
