in facial plastic & reconstructive surgery.
After surgery, a splint is placed over the nose for one week. This protects the nose during its initial phase of healing. Many patients have minimal bruising and only mild swelling. However, both can and do occur on an individual basis.
If you have the placement of an implant, diced cartilage graft, or cartilage graft, remember that a forceful blow to the nose can dislodge these in the first weeks after surgery. Avoid contact sports for at least six weeks after surgery. You may not be able to wear glasses for at least a month after surgery, since they are designed to rest on the bridge of the nose. Remember that the final results of rhinoplasty can take up to a year after the surgery.

"In the end, let's say you have programs for youth and all you see is white youth coming to these programs. That's institutional racism 'cause you didn't do anything intentional to support and provide the benefits for youth of color. It's not the intent; it's the impact. It's the outcome where institutional racism comes in. You can have the intent, on the front end, of "I don't want to be a racist," but you provide more benefits to white people than people of color. That's what institutional racism is. That's how it plays out within our system."

Institutional Racism
The ICBO research explores thoughts and experiences around institutional racism. Most community representatives felt that science-serving institutions were either "clueless" about how it is manifested in their institutions, or chose not to address it. Here is a quote from one of our interviewees:

This adorable baby hat and bootie set is handmade in Peru out of the finest, most luxurious baby alpaca fiber. Alpaca is free of lanolin and therefore is super soft, hypoallergenic and non-itchy - perfect for babies.
Designed to fit babies 0-6 months, but we find it often fits older infants as well.
This alpaca accessory is handmade by women in a fair trade cooperative in the Peruvian highlands. The alpaca is sourced from family alpaca herders, and the spinners use traditional hand spinners to turn it into yarn. It is then hand knit by women in small farming communities outside Ollantaytambo.
The women in the cooperative not only receive fair wages but are taught business skills, product development, and quality control. They are becoming self-sufficient and gradually earning their way out of poverty. This is true fair trade in action.

As spring gets closer and closer, the amount of insect activity we see will increase as more plants start growing. This may seem like a problem, but consider this reality; only 11-15 percent of insects are pests. Most are actually beneficial in one way or another.
Which insects are good for your garden?
Many common insects are truly beneficial because they seek and destroy insect pests. This small, but important group of insects, includes both predators and parasites. Common predators include ladybird beetles, ground beetles and praying mantis who feed directly on pests. Parasites include several tiny wasps and some moths and butterflies. Most go unnoticed or are mistaken for harmful insects. They are one of nature's ways of keeping insect pests in check but often their number may be insufficient to control a pest outbreak. Beneficial insects occur naturally but many can also be purchased locally at co-op garden centers or online.
How do I get the good bugs in my garden?
Beneficial insects can and do control insects but results can often be improved. Several factors increase their effectiveness. First, there must be pest insects present for beneficial insects to eat or parasitize. If food isn't available or is eaten up, the beneficial will go elsewhere to find food. This also means that you will have to tolerate a low level of pest insects in your garden to provide food for the beneficial insects. Often, when you do tolerate that low level of pest insects, predatory insect will just show up to eat the pests.
Ladybugs are more likely to stay close to the release site if a water source is available. This could simply be droplets of moisture from a hose sprayed on nearby plants. Ladybugs are also less likely to fly away if they are released in the evening hours and spend their first night in your garden.
Will pesticides hurt my garden?
When using beneficial insects be very careful when using certain pesticides. Broad spectrum pesticides will kill beneficial insects as well as pests. If you do need to use pesticides spot treat only and avoid treating large areas to limit damage to beneficial insects. Horticultural molasses, insecticidal soaps and horticultural oils are good choices should a spray be necessary to reduce the damage level before beneficial insects are introduced or their population builds naturally in the garden.

Construction Projects with JUCUM Ica / La Mision
We initiated this Peru mission project primariy focused on evangelism, which comes in all forms. After all, what we accomplish here in this physical world accounts for nothing if we don't take care of our final destination. Much of evangelism is purely spiritual, leading others to know the Lord, and that is where we spend most of our time, in prayer, worship, teaching, and interacting with those living in the surrounding community. A lot of it starts with the youngest members of the families, we have a bigger job with the teenagers, and still harder to reach the adults. In all of this is the awareness of hope, lack of it, faith, need for it. Much of where these people fail and give up is the hopelessness of their lives. They work very hard and have little to show for it. Then nature comes and hits them hard. An 8.0 earthquake of 2007 for instance; and even more recent, 2017, 200 Jobs and dozens of homes werre washed away in local floods.
Construction has been slow in recovery since the earthquake in this community, mainly because income is low (farm workers), the weather is pleasant, rain almost doesn't exist, and earthquake damaged walls can 'temporarily' be substituted with a sheet of plastic or cardboard. As years go by though, many of these homes still look like the earthquake was just yesterday. It is our intent to address this need and provide some sort of construction assistance, bringing workers, funds, to help push this need over the top. Our role is to be a base for the workers, to prioritize the home projects being selected, the schedule, help with material and expertise acquisition, and initiation of the projects. That is our desire. So far, as of 2019, other than one major project and a few minor, we are just getting started. Here's some idea of what we have done, are doing and would like to do. [ I will attempt to maintain a log here of past, current and proposed projects an put financial figures in local currency of soles (S/.) rather than dollars ($). Exchange rate is about 3.25 soles to the dollar. ]
Marias Casa - In 2016 we took on our first construction project for the people we serve in the community. It was a 2 room existing house that had no inside kitchen or bathroom.
The kitchen (and a 2nd bedroom) was made of straw (see picture) and was falling apart, people were stealing their kitchen appliances and cooking items. They used a hole in the backyard with a garden hose and a drape for a bathroom which lead to the youngest child being molested.
Wanting to help, we initially had to negotiate with the civil authorites to get a sewer hookup and that took 6 months. Once that was out of the way we paid for the project with an internet fund raising. Owner also came up with 10% of the labor cost. Total cost of project was about S/.2000 materials, S/.3000 labor. Here is a video of the project showing before and after.
Lizbet's casa - A 2016 small project, an early helper at the mission, Lizbet, came to us and asked for help with a wall that was collapsing in their home. Her father would be able to do the labor but needed help getting the necessary wood to replace the failing mud wall that was collapsing into the farm field next door. This was an easy fix purchasing S/. 325 of plywood. He even came to the mission to pick it up. Ocasionally this is all that is needed, some help with building materials, wood, brick, cement, etc.
2018-2019 Project - "Nellies Kitchen - Altura"
This project has been on the table for a bit and is for a widow who has her son, daughter and grand children living next door. The home has a working living room and 2 bedrooms but no bath and the large kitchen which is functional is basically outdoors, having no ceiling one 2 of it's needed 4 walls and a dirt floor. Also, no water tank so she only has running water for an hour a day.
Plan is to add the additional support walls needed, look at plumbing and electrical needs, complete with a new light weight bamboo and straw roof (concrete not needed since there are no plans for a second floor), then pour floor.
Latest finances on this project (as of Feb 4) -
- Initial labor (3200 soles, approximately $1,000), for the rough construction only ( demolition of adove walls, digging the footings about 3ft deep (earthquake requirements, pouring concrete footing about 3 ft deep, concrete columns, lay brick wall, rough pluming and electrical.
- Materials for above (approx 3000 soles, another $1000) for 1000 brick, 50 bags of cement , 3 cubit meters of rough sand, 3 cubic meters of gravel, 4 cubic meters of big stones, 17 steel rebars for columns and beam for footing (+ nails, wire, etc)
- Finish Work (another $1000 approximately) these figures does not include the finish work, (labor & material) like a simple kitchen tile counter top with a SS sink, fixtures for the bathroom, like toilet, pedestal sink , tile for the shower, walls, floor, plumbing fixtures like shower head/handler, sink faucet for the bathroom pedestal, faucet for the kitchen sink, 3 electrical light fixture, elect switches, plugs, elect panel, and water tank and accessories.
- Free Services - Not included in the above, The ministry or ourselves as designer,construction management/supervisor, engineer does not charge any thing for our professional time and knowledge. we get paid by God , 100 fold.
- it will be close to $3000. total not including paint or other finish like stucco,/plaster, (taregeo in Spanish) that may end up not being done.... or done by the widower later on.
Estimated project material /labor cost S/.9000, $3000. We just delivered most of the materials for this project January 2019, project is anticipated to take a few weeks into February to complete.
To be done:
"Mama Kelly's home" - We have a home that is overcrowded in people and totally in disarray on the inside. The property is secured and has a sewer hookup but needs a toilet, some bathroom walls, some bedroom walls, exterior walls and ceiling. It is sandwiched between two other homes and any part of the construction, that would make perhaps another bedroom or better cleaner living space would be very beneficial to the family.
Kelly and her husband live here, with two of her children of a prior marriage (Kelly Jr?, Luis) and two from this marriage (Carlos and Fabio) and a nephew who spends a great amount of time at the mission helping out (Jean). The younger Kelly has recently moved out and is in a common law relationship about 7 kilometers south. This relieves the crowding a bit but still the house is in great need of help. We have had some discussion with Mama Kelly about 'pitching in', but the estimated cost for this project, material and labor, would be similar or a bit more than the S/.5000 of the other projects we discussed above.
Maribel's casa - fresh pictures just taken of a very long term attending person at the mission, and her family. this home houses 6 people and I don't know where they all sleep.. Maribel and her husband, daughter Yubire (home from prep school, we are so proud of her) age 15+, son Farve age 12-13, daughters Jade & Ruby. The layout of the home is a small front room, a kitchen/bath combination and 3 bedrooms, 2 of which are really small.
All dirt floor and plastic ceiling.
In a perfect world, we would look to put a solid concrete ceiling so that a 2nd floor could be planned. That would take some space away from downstairs though for the stairs, but would give them double the living space they now have. It is just so cramped.
This may be a two part project. In either case we need to assess the columns and rebars in place for columns to know if it can support a 2nd floor. More importantly is the missing one and half walls of no support that would need to be added regardless if one or two floors.
Also a concrete floor is needed, along with the missing walls.
Project cost not yet known, but assumedly approximately S/.6,000.
Other projects still being identified and assessed:
Many other homes fall in lower costs than the above. People put up a home on invaded property that is unoccupied on the fringe of surrounding farmland where they work. As long as they occupy it, it pretty much stays theirs. Politicians make promises for votes every two years and they get water added, electricity, sewer, eventually a deed. So many of these properties are at first just straw and mud walls. We try not to offer assistance till at least they have sewer and water, but there are plenty that do. Many other properties just have a lot of leaks, mosquito problems, bad earthquake damaged construction that needs repair work. Many with expanding families slowly grow their home usually upward. Our plan is to make a pretty clear inventory of these projects based on need and cost.

text: Hey guys and welcome to another Polymer Clay Tutorial! Today we are going to create the Ice King with the Infinity Blade! The winner in the last poll was not the fully underestimated Fishstick. No, it was the Ice King. You decided that I should create the Ice King and well I was looking forward to create this detailed skin with the weapon, with an Infinity Blade, of course which has disappeared in the game. This is unfortunate. But let's focus on the creation first. We start as always with the aluminium wire. And now I will bind these two strings together and this will give us this nice skeleton for the Ice King and we can start working. If you want to download these blueprints you can get them for free on clayclaim.com. I have the download page for all of the blueprints right there. So this is the image of the Ice King I took as reference. I tried… …to get the posture as accurate as possible, that it really matches this image and we will start with black clay, so we will make a lot of coating with black clay, as the base layer, and we will put on the butt cheeks. No, a lot of details later in this tutorial, but for now, we try to get the shape of the body as accurate as possible. On Instagram I asked you for help. I asked you: Any ideas for a background story for today's video for the Ice King, the real name, favorite food, why this strange crown and where does he come from? What cruelty happened to him that he is not showing his face? Yeah, this is the Visitor. I thought they really look similar. This is why I compared both of them and there was also a funny story from one of you, who compared the Ice King with the Visitor skin, as well. So, in today's video I will read some of these stories you came up with. I haven't read them before, so I will just read them together with you. I'm really looking forward to get all your crazy ideas, because I just had no ideas on the background story of the Ice King. Let's start with the first story and after that we will continue focusing on the creation. Let's see. The first story right at the top is from clay.makes. Once upon a time there was a young boy named Larry, who was a professional chef and loved the heat of the kitchen, but one day his family and him went ice skating, on an extremely cold and dark winter day. But unexpectedly the sun came out and melted away the ice on the lake. Larry's family made it out alive, but Larry was not so lucky. He sank down into the ocean and was resurrected. I didn't know that word resurrected by the Fishstick skin. Yeah, Fishstick! I love that skin But he was so cold, his face had frozen and the ice would never melt. So he covered his face and thought if he wore robes, he would be cool, so he shot back to the surface and saw a polar peak. He made the castle his home and was known throughout the map as Ice King. Oh goosebumps! Thanks a lot. That was a really funny first story clay.makes. Thanks a lot. Now you just have seen that I mixed the color of the armor and I was not really sure which color I should go with, not because there are different skins. Well, the first one just looks the best. The golden one, come on. It looks ridiculous. It looks so cheap. But because on different images sometimes the armor was blue, sometimes it was silver. Maybe it was just the reflection from the sky I was not sure, but I decided to go with a silver blue and this is the color I came up with. It looks nice. I really love this color. Let me know which color you prefer on this skin. Yeah, I really mean it. I think the first one just looks the best, not only because he was promoted on all images, but also because well, he just looked so cool. And the golden one… I don't know. Yeah, this is the connection part from the shoulder patches till the chest protection. Some more details on the front and also on the side. And this was a bit tricky we have to create this pyramid, this triangle. Throughout the tutorial we will create it many times and we will place it onto these tiny circles the connection parts. I think we have some further on the arm protection as well. These are the shoulder patches and some leather stripes. Here we go some more armor, it looks nice. And after we finish the arms, we will focus on the hands. First I screwed up. I created the fingers a little bit too big, but I changed that afterwards. I'm not sure if you will see this in the tutorial. I think I haven't filmed that, yeah. So these are the decoration parts for the shoulders. Some more circles as well and then we will create the pyramids, as well So let's pick another story. I'm looking forward to read another one. You are crazy. You sent and wrote so many great stories. I think this is one of my favorite ones. This one is from platilb. His favorite food is lasagna and he was the youngest boy in the family, so everyone bullied him. Then once he was 16, he found the strange Infinity Sword in the cave when his family was at vacation, so he killed them all and sword gave him super powers and penguins called him their king. So he was called the Ice King. No one likes him, so he hides his face and takes revenge on everyone that hated him. His name was Thomas. He comes from Greenland. Feel free to change it a bit. No, it's amazing! Thank you so much for this crazy story. These are the fingers by the way, which turned out a bit too big. I think the fingers altogether should have the same size like the palm of the hand and these are just a little bit too big. We have some belts on both sides and they are holding these banners, these stripes which are hanging down we will create later. These are the connection parts and now let's collect some blue clay, blue silver clay for the knee protection. This is on the left side. It is made out of blue clay and we will wrap around some more clay a very thin layer and after that, we will put on a knee protection in black. Today was a great day. I was working in the studio. I am currently working on the new stop-motion intro for our channel. I still haven't forgotten all of your ideas. It's just like that it takes so much time to create this intro and today was almost the first day where I was shooting. The sets are finished, the stop-motion puppets are finished, but I had some technical issues which I solved. but I just didn't have the time, but you saw also on Instagram you saw the image of the puppet sitting on the table. This is how the intro will start. Well, I really hope that it will be finished by the end of the month, so that we have a new intro on our Clay channel at the beginning of February. This is the face of the Ice King. At first I thought I would paint the eyes, but then I decided to go with this technique and clay and it turned out nice. I really think so. We are placing the iris, which is really glowing. It's a bright blue which is called aqua. And now we need some more black and gray to mix these… Well, the fabric he is wearing these stripes. But before I talk too much about clothing, fabrics and fashion let's read another story! Let's pick another one. This one is from faisalmurrar2004: Peter was a married man living in LA traveling to California to see the birth of his first child. As he boarded the plane he noticed that a strange man was approaching, so he started to panic. The X-4 storm wing crew when to calm him down by giving him a fresh Durr Burger with no pickles, so he did until the man came by and sat next to him. Peter texted his wife before taking off until he started warning him about bombs and death. Some air marshals heard him and arrested him and Peter was on the no-fly list. He decided to rent a car home, but his wallet and his ID is in the plane . Peter was desperate… but the stranger on the plane came by and helped him by ordering a car together. On the way they had a lot of accidents and one of them was with the blue paint loaded truck that surprisingly after the accident made Peter's clothes a lot better with those stripes. They continued… oh boy this story is long and took a pee break. So Peter took the chance and escaped from the stranger, because he was sick and tired of those accidents. He decided to wear a mask, a spooky mask so he could steal any car he wants and money to reach home. After fighting some cuddle bears Peter arrived to his wife who is an elite agent. He saw the birth of his child and both continued to go evil in dark for the rest of their lives. We missed the oven we didn't really miss it. I just put the Ice King into the oven so we can focus on the Infinity Blade. Dude, this story was crazy! It really was, but I enjoyed it. Well, what do you think guys? The reason why I put in some wire into this Infinity Blade is I didn't really want to… Some of the very thin layers are bending after oven hardening and I wanted to avoid that, so this is why I included some wire. This is a very thin wire. Hopefully it works. I even made space you just saw that before for these holes in the blade. Because there's a space in between the two wires. I try to get the shape as accurate as possible. So here we go for the circle. Let's remove the clay from the inside. And on the left side we will… where you can see the two wires, we'll put the handle which is black. And on this piece, there's a lot of painting work afterwards, because some parts are not possible to create with clay. But you will see that in a minute, so here's some details. If you have to create things like that the best thing to do is to work on a plate because then you don't have to touch it, you won't screw up and you have no chance of destroying it. You just have to put the plate into the oven and this is turning out really fine, I hope so. So the last working steps and then we will focus on the holes. I found that in a box. For the bigger hole. For the next hole I think we have three sizes. I took the hand drill and now the pointing tool. And before going into the oven, let's read another short story. This one is from Antonio. His name is Austin, and he was on a walk with his dog, when his dog found a squirrel and chased him onto a lake. So, Austin started to follow his dog and then Austin was so heavy, he fell into the cold waters where he stayed there for many years until one day he emerged and became the Ice King! Thanks a lot. You are so crazy guys, I really admire your ideas. So this is the color gradient we are creating it's not for the Infinity Blade. These are the parts of the crown the Ice King is wearing. I did that technique before on Ragnarok. There's also a great color gradient. And now let's put these things into the oven! Freshly baked Ice King! Yeah. Yeah, this was the structure and all these wires it worked well for the fabric. Now, let's take a white pen for the signs. I should have asked you about these signs. In the stories. And these symbols go down even on the… yeah on the fabric to the ground. And also on the ones behind. Bandages. What would you call these flying things? Not sure. So I think that's it for the white pen. Now, let's take a bright blue. Really bright blue for coloring up the middle part. I still want to have a white outline for the purpose of nice effect. Also on the back ones, as well. It already looks so amazing. Now the Infinity Blade's and also the parts of the crown. I think I forgot to show you how I created these parts. Make them very thin, so that they are able to bend. Now we will place the first the second the third and fourth… …tooth of the crown. Oh, it looks great and now the masterpiece the Infinity Blade with the handle and I take this golden polish pen, because I think, but I'm not really sure that the blade is a little bit golden. It looks nice. Now the next working step would be to color the inner part white and blue. It would have not been possible to create with clay. I think at least. And on the handle you have some further details. Let's glue the thing where you can hang the blade onto the handle, as well. Some more golden color. Here we go. We make the handle blue. It looks like a ninja sword. We can place it into the hands, the strong hands, the cruel hands! Are they really cruel? Maybe he's just misunderstood. No, that doesn't look good with a wire. Well, I have an idea. Let's take some white. I'm really happy to have these yarns in different colors. So, first we will add white. It's for the electricity effect. You see that on the image from the Ice King the intro image and also blue and now I will glue them all together and hopefully it will look great when we wrap it around the Infinity Blade. Oh boy! There are only two working steps left. I take this blue pen and after that some transparent polish to get all the armor parts shiny. Let me thank you again for all your crazy ideas all the stories. I'm really sorry I was not able to read at least half of your stories, Over a 100 comments I think So thank you. We will do that in the future. I already enjoy that. So what should I create next? I have something planned for next week, but the week after for a new Fortnite tutorial please let me know what I should create. Write it down in the comments. This is the last working step and I'm so excited. Look at that! That's it! The Ice King and Infinity Blade! If you remember the tutorial with the Frozen Lake I screwed up on, you suggested I should use this thing as a stand for the Ice King! Now let's see what it looks like. Amazing! I hope you have a great weekend. Take care guys! Bye and see you next week! On Friday. Subscribe if you haven't!

ENTERED INTO PACTS: We pledged allegiance in pacts, before time began, and recently.
"Soul pods and soulmates. This is the concept where a soul reincarnates with…a specific soul, time and time again. Weiss, Newton and the other regression professionals who have written volumes…clearly say it is a very common occurrence."
There can be no proof of this, so you must take this on faith. Before time began, before the ice caps from the Ice Age on Earth had thawed, in the very prehistory of mankind itself—Twinklebear's Soul and my Soul, entered into an eternal union, known as a "Soul Pod." For the uninitiated, or merely skeptical, a Soul Pod consists of Souls who have entered into a pact, as Soulmates–Podmates, if you will.
Aside from the frilly and lighthearted way that couples in this Hallmark Card era call themselves "soulmates," true Soulmates recall a time, when they forged this sacred union for all eternity, not just for the forseeable future of theirs until the mortgage is paid off—but until the proverbial end of time, and beyond.
No, true Soulmates of Podmates are wedded for life, not just this life, but every life, since true Soulmates seek each other out in reincarnated lives. This is what Twinklebear and I have done. We instinctively sought each other out, while the veils of time passed still blinded us from knowing that was what we were doing.
Us finding each other, is a miracle unto itself. It is probable that Fate—as in the case of most reincarnated Soulmates and Podmates–had a decisive role in steering each of us to the other. From previous installments of this Memoir series, you know that Twinklebear and I knew almost immediately, who we stumbled onto—each other's True Soulmate and Podmate. Who knows how many generations, or centuries have passed, since this current reunion of ours, had taken place? This is unknowable.
TWINKLEBEAR My lovely and most beloved Soulmate and Podmate.
The original Soul Pod Pact, I made with Twinklebear stands! However, we both felt that a modern day Soul Pod Pact was in order (actually, Twinklebear thought of this, my clever clogs! Let's give credit where it is due!). We therefore fashioned this wholly appropriate contemporary pact, we call the Bear Pact. Think of it as a "retaking of vows."
I, Sookybear, do take thee, Twinklebear, to be my Eternally Wedded Wife, and one and only True Soulmate. I pledge to never part with you.
I, Twinklebear, do take thee, Sookybear, to be my Eternally Wedded Husband, and one and only True Soulmate. I pledge to never part with you.
I, Sookybear, with the Universe as our witness, do pledge in this solemn pact, to always love, cherish, and protect Twinklebear, who is my one and only True Soulmate.
I, Twinklebear, with the Universe as our witness, do pledge in this solemn pact, to always love, cherish, and protect Sookybear, who is my one and only True Soulmate
So, now you all know, why at the end of all my writing, I say, "Bear Pact Forever!" Every Soulmate couple—or Soul Pod—must find their own way, in reuniting and learning how to cope as true Soulmates, in this modern world. It is not easy sometimes, but in our case, my true Soulmate and Podmate Twinklebear, are finding our way–Forever and a day!
I love you, Twinklebear
Forever and a day
Soulmates and Podmates Always
Bear Pact Forever!

3 secrets of natural leaders
Wednesday, May 16, 2018
Some people seem to float through life effortlessly. Promotions come to them. Raises are provided. Direct reports and those on other teams naturally follow them. And people like them.
What's the difference between a leader with an advanced degree, certificates in leadership and no loyal team members and the leader down the hall who everyone turns to for real direction and guidance? Here are three secrets of natural leaders.
Fjaka, according to this article from AFAR magazine, is a state of being with less effort that permeates the lifestyle in Dubrovnik, Croatia. While the idea of forgoing schedules or phones may sound impossible, a local art historian quoted in the article stated it simply, "the pauses in the music are also part of the music. You wouldn't have a melody without the stops. They make music together. So the pauses in life are part of life, too."
In other words, it is important for us to understand when we have done enough for the day. Similarly, taking time to appreciate the efforts we and our teams have exerted, and not over-planning for the sake of maintaining an unsustainable schedule are all keys to embracing the composure and confidence of a natural leader.
While it is not necessary to travel to Dubrovnik to practice, scheduling vacations, practicing meditation or taking a technology fast are all ways leaders can broaden perspective, strengthen priorities and reinforce purpose.
Positive Cycle
Calmness is as powerful as toxicity. Maintaining perspective, embracing clear priorities and a purpose can send positive ripples through a department as much as a negative employee can suck the wind out of the sails.
Yet, with so many demands on our time, it can be extremely challenging to present a calm front. While it may seem counter-intuitive, one of the best ways to stay composed is to give.
Helping others, whether they are colleagues or team members reinforces our own strengths, reminds us of our why and, best of all, assists someone else. Despite the pressing nature of their work, natural leaders make the time to support the growth of those around them.
In addition to their inherent sense of calm and composure, natural leaders have an ability to clearly convey their purpose to a varied audience.
They focus on the way someone needs to hear the message, not the way they may want to convey it. That ability to convey information in a compelling way is another differentiator of natural leaders.
TED Talks provide millions of excellent examples of the power of storytelling to capture the attention of a varied audience. However, it is not necessary to present, pontificate or power point to get your point across. Instead, a great way to become an engaging communicator is to practice listening.
By absorbing and thoughtfully responding to others, we can make deeper connections, learn different styles of communication, understand others' priorities, and thus strengthen our ability to clearly convey our message.
The bottom line is, by slowing down and giving our time to help and listen to others, we can strengthen our natural leadership skills.

Pfizer Inc on Monday said it would buy Botox maker Allergan Plc in a deal worth $160 billion to slash its U.S. tax bill, rekindling a fierce political debate over the financial maneuver.
The acquisition, which would create the world's largest drugmaker and shift Pfizer's headquarters to Ireland, would also be the biggest-ever instance of a U.S. company re-incorporating overseas to lower its taxes. U.S. President Barack Obama has called such inversion deals unpatriotic and has tried to crack down on the practice.
Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton pledged to propose measures to prevent such deals. The merger was also slammed by her rival Senator Bernie Sanders as well as by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
"The fact that Pfizer is leaving our country with a tremendous loss of jobs is disgusting," Trump said in a statement.
It was not immediately known how many jobs would be lost as a result of the merger.
Shares of Allergan fell 3.4 percent and Pfizer closed down 2.6 percent as investors learned the merger, under discussion since late October, would bring lower cost savings than they had hoped.
Pfizer also disappointed some investors by delaying by two years a decision on whether to sell off its division consisting of products facing generic competition.
To avoid potential restrictions, the transaction was structured as smaller, Dublin-based Allergan buying Pfizer, although the combined company will be known as Pfizer Plc and continue to be led by Chief Executive Officer Ian Read.
The U.S. Treasury, concerned about losing billions in tax revenue, has been taking steps to limit the benefits of tax inversion deals, but it admitted last week that it would take legislation from Congress to stop such moves.
The deal enhances offerings from both Pfizer's faster-growing branded products business, with additions like Botox, and its older established products unit. Still, investors had hoped Pfizer would sell off the lower-margin business in 2017, a move now put off by the time required to integrate Allergan.
Others were disappointed by other aspects of the deal, including the projected cost savings, and a lack of details on potentially increased share buybacks.
On a conference call with analysts, Pfizer said the merger would give it enhanced access to its tens of billions of dollars parked overseas and allow for more share buybacks, dividend payments and business development. The combined company would have annual sales of about $64 billion.
The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2016.
Allergan CEO Brent Saunders will become president and chief operating officer of the combined company, with oversight of all commercial businesses.
Read, who has long sought to slash Pfizer's U.S. tax rate, said the deal would help put the company on "on a more competitive footing" with overseas-based rivals.
The company had estimated it would pay about 25 percent in corporate taxes this year, compared with about 15 percent for Allergan. Pfizer Chief Financial Officer Frank D'Amelio said he expected a combined tax rate of 17 percent to 18 percent by 2017.
The deal comes some 18 months after the failure of Read's initial attempt at an inversion, a $118 billion bid to acquire Britain-based AstraZeneca Plc that ran into stiff opposition from that company's management and UK politicians.
Saunders said the combination would provide access to about 70 additional worldwide markets for Allergan products, such as Botox wrinkle treatment, Alzheimer's drug Namenda and dry-eye medication Restasis.
For 166-year-old Pfizer, Allergan would be the fourth huge acquisition over the last 15 years - one for each of the last 4 CEOs - following purchases of Warner-Lambert, Pharmacia and Wyeth.
This also caps a record year for healthcare mergers and acquisitions, taking their cumulative value in 2015 to more than $600 billion.
They include prior big deals involving Saunders, such as the $70.5 billion acquisition of Allergan by Actavis, which then took the Allergan name, and an agreement to sell that company's huge portfolio of generic drugs to Teva Pharmaceutical Industries for $40.5 billion.
Allergan and Pfizer estimated their merger would increase earnings per share by 10 percent, excluding special items, in 2019 and add by a high-teens percentage rate in 2020.

Day 539
This morning, Ano, Oliver, and Rico (a Swiss guy from my hotel who has been living in Lencois for three weeks), and I decided to walk to Cachoeira do Sossego, another waterfall on the Riberao River, upstream from where I went to the water slide when I first got to Lencois. We picked up some food for lunch, water to drink along the way, and walked down the same track I had already been down twice before. When we got to the river, we found a path that took us upstream and followed it. The path eventually ended but that's where the fun began because we had to scale a series of rocks to continue upstream. At one point, we had to shimmy through some caves caused by falling boulders.
The walk itself was fun, but the reward at the end was even better. There was another large waterfall flowing into a large pool of water with lots of natural platforms for jumping into the water from as high as fifteen meters. There were a lot of other people also enjoying the place, but eventually that all left and we had it to ourselves. We made the two-hour return trip late in the afternoon and I was thoroughly exhausted when I arrived back in Lencois.
Almost everyone from our trek was out on the town tonight. Everybody seemed to have their favorite "secret" restaurant that served the cheapest food and biggest portions. This tour is becoming a second home for a lot of foreigners because the streets are safe, the beer is always ice cold, and it's next to a beautiful national park called Chapada Diamantina.

The city of San Sebastián.
It's no wonder that her name is legendary. Edurne Pasaban (Tolosa, 1973) is the first woman to have reached the top of all fourteen 8,000 metre peaks – the top of the world. She has won numerous awards, including Spain's Gold Medal for Sports Merit in 2010, and the Basque Government's Universal Basque Award in 2011. Today, Edurne Pasaban gives talks to companies and organisations dedicated to sport. And she has founded her own travel agency, KABI by Edurne Pasaban (www.kabi-travels.com), which organises travel in the Basque Country and the Pyrenees. In addition, she puts huge doses of energy and passion into Mountaineers for the Himalayas, a foundation she created to promote projects geared toward educating children in the Himalayas. A genuine legend.
The city of San Sebastián.
My favourite Basque dish is a plate of black beans from Tolosa or a fresh Bay of Biscay sea bream.
A pintxo made with tuna, Cantabrian anchovy and an Ibarra guindilla, or a pintxo of beef cheeks.
Benito lertxundi "Udazken Koloretan"
Mikel Laboa "Hegoak ebaki banizkio"
The Chillida Leku Museum and Arantzazu.
Sometimes I like to take a walk along the coast, and other times in the mountains. Walking from San Juan to Hondarrabi, over Jaizkibel, to see the coast, sea cliffs and waves of the Cantabrian Sea relaxes me. Walking through the forests and fields of Aralar makes me feel free.
There are a lot of things to do with children. Walking through the mountains and forests, for example, in Pagoeta Natural Park, and seeing the Agorregi Ironworks.
Try to find experiences that will allow them to get a first-hand feeling for Basque culture. Let the locals give you advice. Don't miss Euskadi's hinterland. There are as many interesting things inland as there are on the coast to help visitors understand our culture and lifestyle.
Our food, our mountains and being able to be in the mountains and smell the salt air at the same time.
The Basque people. I'm sure that the people who come to visit us in Euskadi will go home with fond memories of the people they meet.
The Wind Comb in San Sebastián, and the old town with its pintxo bars.
It depends where you go, but I think the spring, summer, and of course the autumn, with its colours are all good times of the year to visit.
The rowing regatta at La Concha is a sport and cultural event in a very lively atmosphere.
The feast day of San Sebastián and the tamborrada marching parade.

MTI Adventurewear UnderDOG Dog PFD
A better way to float your best friend! With 90% of the buoyancy in the water under the chest area, the new underDOG life jacket supports the natural swim angle position of a dog. The traditional cape style dog vest rides on top of the back, pulling the hind quarters up in a horizontal position in the water. Because of the way a dog is shaped, this means that the head rides close to the water line. By moving the flotation under the body, buoyancy is shifted to chest, allowing the hind quarters to sink in the water. The dog's instinctive swim motion is allowed to be more effective. And the neck is released to so that the head can ride higher above the water line in a more relaxed position.The underDOG features a split form body and durable Nylon and Cordura fabric. Generous reflective trim highlights the collar, full side and top of the vest areas that are exposed in the water, and shows up against car headlights in the parking lot of the take out. The reinforced carry handles will support the full weight of a wet animal. The carry handle in the collar doubles as a leash attachment point. 4 adjustments points, and cool mesh ventilation across the back and adjustable mesh bridge between collar and body. Chest flotation allows dog to swim at a more comfortable upright angle in the water Constructed of durable nylon and Cordura fabric Reflective trim throughout Reinforced carry handle in the collar doubles as a leash attachment point

The last part of this series focuses on the Rhine derby between Borussia Mönchengladbach and 1. FC Köln.
A simple flag is sometimes enough to make fans of "the Foals" go beserk. In 2007 Köln met Gladbach in the top match of the 2. Bundesliga. Before the match the flag of a local Gladbach fan-club had been stolen. Near the end of the game it suddenly appeared amongst the fans of "the Billy Goats". The fans from the cathedral city had decided to tear up the flag of their arch rival. Gladbach fans didn't take such an insult lying down, and responded in style by throwing Bengal lights onto the pitch.
The history
The so called Rhine derby is one of the biggest classics of the Bundesliga, and often creates tension between the fans of both teams. While the tension between the fans certainly adds a certain something into the mix, has the action on the pitch at times been epic. Both Köln and Gladbach have a rich history, winning the Bundesliga championship on numerous occasions. From 63 and until 73 the local derbies were marked by the duel between the two teams play makers. Günter Netzer of Gladbach and Köln's Wolfgang Overath who both fought for a spot in the starting line up of the national team.
The 70's saw the two teams fighting against each other in Europe, both times with a happy ending for "the Foals". But probably the most spectacular duel between these two teams is their long range fight for the championship of 1978: Gladbach and Köln were equal on points before the last match of the season in 78, but Köln looked like the sure winners of the league because of their goal difference. Gladbach had to catch up ten goals.
"The Foals" managed to go 6-0 up against to Borussia Dortmund before the half time break. The news of Gladbach's surge reached the fans that had gathered to see St. Pauli playing against Köln. Gladbach continued their rampage of Dortmund after the break, and went on to win 12-0. Köln on its side was cheered on by St. Pauli's supporters and managed to win 5-0. If Köln hadn't scored three goals after the break, the championship title of 78 would have ended up in the hands of Borussia Mönchengladbach.
The Rhine derby has certainly lost some of its importance in later years, considering that neither of these clubs are serious contenders for the championship. But, given the rich history between the teams the rivalry amongst the fans hasn't deteriorated.
The stats
Borussia Mönchengladbach have won the derby 41 times, and lost it 21 times. 15 matches ended with a draw. The goal difference between the sides is 155:107 in favor of Gladbach.
The next match
While the derby in the 60's and 70's could decide the championship, this time it is vital for both sides: Gladbach are taking a last stab at avoiding relegation, while Köln can get out of the relegation zone once and for all. Expect the tackles to fly, and some great action. So mark the 9th of April in your calendar, because this match will probably be a must-see.

Living under canvas to protect rare birds
The Long Nanny tern colony on the Northumberland coast is home to one of the rarest seabirds in the UK, the little tern. To protect the birds, a dedicated team of five of our Rangers live at the site in tents, and undertake a 24-hour watch.
'Sea bird conservation is very important,' says Kate Bradshaw, ranger at Lindisfarne Castle, The Farne Islands and Northumberland Coast.
'These birds are generally in decline around our coasts and the tern in particular has suffered a real drop in numbers. At Long Nanny we can do something about that.
'One of the big problems is that they are ground nesting birds. They build their nests on beaches and actually like being in quite open locations, which makes them quite vulnerable.
Busy beaches
'Also, these areas are getting busier and busier. There are more people, more dog walkers. All this activity can be very disruptive.'
As well as protecting the birds, staff at Long Nanny also monitor the breeding success of the colony, and welcome visitors to the site. 'We show them the birds through telescopes and talk to them about importance of the Trust's work,' says Bradshaw.
But it's no easy task. From May to August staff live in tents on the sand dunes. They watch the area 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in eight-hour shifts.
'It's a very busy beach, with lots of visitors, dog walkers and kite surfers,' says Bradshaw. 'If someone gets too close we can explain the situation to them.
Guarding against predators
'We also need to look out for predators. This year we have had problems with a stoat and a kestrel. But in previous years we have had foxes, otters and even barn owls.'
The staff members camping on the beach have access to a hut with a gas cooker and a gas fridge. There are also compost toilets.
'If anyone wants to have a shower, or use the washing machine, then they need to go back to our office, which is about a mile away,' says Bradshaw.
It's certainly a challenge living on site, and not just because of the lack of facilities.
Intense experience
'It can also be quite an intense experience,' says Bradshaw. 'Your whole life is focused on protecting the terns. If something goes wrong, even if you are not on shift, you are bound to get involved.'
But there are signs that the hard work is paying off. When we began to look after the site in 1976 there were only three pairs of little terns and no arctic terns. By 2012, we had 40 pairs of little terns and 1500 pairs of arctic terns.
'It's still an ongoing battle,' says Bradshaw. 'We need to stay vigilant.
'For example, one of the new problems we face is that the nature of the beach has changed over time. And as a result more and more terns are nesting in areas exposed to the spring high tides.
'In order to stop the nests being swept away we actually have to raise them up and put them on fishing crates.
'But the birds don't mind. They seem to have got used to it!'

In the past year, Canadian Solar (CSIQ) - Get Report shares have fallen nearly 30% as the U.S. solar industry struggles with excess supply, increasing global competition for low-cost international producers, drooping solar panel prices and a fossil fuel-friendly administration.
But on Monday morning, the company's stock was surging more than 3% shortly after the opening bell thanks to one unlikely ally: perpetual solar bear Gordon Johnson of Axiom Capital.
Johnson, who until Monday did not have a single Buy rating on any of the solar stocks in his coverage universe, initiated coverage of Canadian Solar with a Buy rating and an $18 year-end 2017 price target.
That's a 41% increase over CSIQ's Thursday close of $12.72 a share and an uncanny move for Johnson who in late February initiated coverage of CSIQ peer First Solar (FSLR) - Get Report with a Sell rating and a $21 year-end price target. First Solar shares were trading at $37.83 apiece at the time.
The reason for Johnson's praise of Canadian Solar, however, has little to do with his outlook on the U.S. solar industry, which he has repeatedly lambasted over the past few years-- out of the 21 stocks Johnson's boutique shop covers, Canadian Solar is the only Buy rating.
Rather, the analyst suspects CSIQ is just undervalued considering what its "in-the-money" solar project assets could be worth on the auction block. In essence, Johnson argues the sum of the parts is greater than the whole.
The analyst points to the stock performance of First Solar and SunPower (SPWR) - Get Report between June 29, 2012, and Dec. 31, 2015, as an example of the things to come for Canadian Solar.
Both companies during that time frame, according to Johnson, had solar project assets that they could sell for a cash profit that, in aggregate, would provide value far more than each company's market capitalization plus net debt load. And Wall Street's sentiment on the solar industry in mid-2012, similar to that of today's market, was less than enthusiastic, perhaps distracting investors from what Johnson calls the "Golden Egg" of First Solar and SunPower.
But now it is the Ontario-based and Nasdaq-listed Canadian Solar who has the Golden Egg, Johnson asserted in a Monday note.
Using Canadian Solar's recent sale of two solar power plants in China, which totaled 69.5 megawatts in capacity, to Shenzhen Energy Group for about $99.8 million, or $1.44 per watt, Johnson argues CSIQ's remaining 198 megawatts of operational Chinese projects alone are worth about $284 million.
Moreover, the analyst suggests CSIQ's U.S. solar project assets are worth $1.4 billion, or $5.29 per share, given that the company was offered $700 million for an equity portion of its 808-megawatt portfolio.
Axiom also is ascribing a value of $9.52 per share to the company's various late-stage Japanese assets and a negative $60 million value for its module business.
The firm is not giving CSIQ credit for its 189.5 megawatts in operational projects in Japan, the United Kingdom or Spain as it does not believe those projects will be sold.
All-told, Axiom feels the company is worth more than $1 billion, far above its $700 million market cap Monday.
"With CSIQ's profit likely to materially outperform its peers as in-the-money solar project assets are sold, we rate the stock a BUY."

Will Wolverine ever be the same without Logan?
With his pointed beast-like hairstyle, rugged facial expressions and lean body, X-Men enthusiasts knew Hugh Jackman was the right choice to play the role of Wolverine in all X-Men movies released in the last 17 years.
Although Jackman's lead roles in Van Helsing (2004), The Prestige (2006) and Real Steel (2011) are commendable, his portrayal of Wolverine has made him a superstar.
Now Jackman reprises his role as Wolverine/Logan in the latest movie Logan, the 10th edition of the X-Men franchise. Director James Mangold, who directed The Wolverine (2013), has done justice by keeping the movie in line with Logan's character while smoothly adding another mutant, Laura (Dafne Keen), who closely associates herself with Logan. Perhaps Marvel Entertainment can take Laura's character to create spin-off movies in the future, but it is too early to predict anything.
The movie reveals the tale of an aging Logan who befriends Laura, a young mutant girl possessing similar Wolverine-like mutant powers. Watch the movie to understand the relation between these two humans with animal instincts. Logan's life, as shown in the movie, is without much disturbance. He does not want any attention because he has become old, tired and fatigued after fighting his battles and wants to live in seclusion.
His objective of life is to take care of an ailing and fragile Professor X (aka: Charles Xavier) (Patrick Stewart). However, Logan's life changes when he meets Laura. Evil dark forces are chasing her and Logan must fight them. This puts Logan in a predicament; is Logan ready to take care of another mutant along with Professor X? Does he have one last fight left in him? You will find answers to these questions in the movie.
Laura's adamantium claws and her wild animal instincts make her Wolverine's equal. But will she follow the rules set by Logan or will she create her own laws and get Logan, and herself, into trouble? The movie's story will bring another dimension to Logan's life, which we never knew existed.
Encapsulating the entire movie from the beginning until the end is a feeling of farewell, which the movie reveals clearly and with signs hidden in plain sight. It is suggested through interviews that Jackman and Stewart may not reprise their roles of Wolverine/Logan and Professor X/Charles Xavier, respectively, in the future. If such rumours hold ground then this will be the last outing of Jackman as Logan/Wolverine. We are sure no other Hollywood actor can even come close to playing this role to perfection. Both Jackman and Stewart, in my opinion, became method actors when playing their roles as part of the X-Men.
The movie, set in 2029, also divulges that the last mutant birth took place 20 years ago. It seems that Logan and Professor X along with Laura are the only mutants alive. However, evil forces will refute this claim. Even though Logan's reflex actions have rusted, his claws do not protrude with the swiftness they once showed and his healing powers have slowed down, he still loves, cares and respects Professor X, and will protect him no matter what. There are many moments when Logan will bring out his animal instincts when Professor X or Laura is in danger.
Moreover, the movie also explicitly shows the inner animal, the mutant side and the human character merged into one being, Wolverine, who over the years has aged while fighting tiresomely against Magneto and other sinful mutants. During these years – and as depicted – through the X-Men movie franchise and movies featuring Wolverine, Logan evolved both as a mutant and as a human while in search of the answers to his origin. This side of Logan's personality is evident in this movie.
With a mountain of emotions and feelings, Logan flawlessly says goodbye to the legend of a mutant, who in my opinion, was always the face of the X-Men franchise – be it the comic book series or the movie series. If Wolverine is moving on, then Professor X, with his allure and verbal magnetism, may also hang his boots. However, what will the X-Men franchise be without Professor X and Wolverine? Who will emerge as their leader?
I wonder if Jackman will sign a deal to star in an X-Men spin-off movie, where paths of Wolverine and Deadpool crossover. This will be epic. Only time will tell if this happens. However, as far as Logan is concerned, there is emotion, heartbreak, nostalgia and many Wolverine action you do not want to miss!

Our fourth Habitat house in Welland out of the five houses built as part of Habitat Niagara's 25th anniversary multi-build project was dedicated in a small ceremony yesterday. Gordon and Gaynor are the proud new homeowners who purchased the house for a no money-down, twenty year 0% mortgage and completed their 500 volunteer hours with Habitat.
"Us receiving this blessing of a house has, even now, changed our lives considerably," said Gaynor. "Knowing that Habitat was willing to partner with us has given us a renewed confidence that we 'could' have our own home."
They were filled with joy as they looked around knowing that this house was theirs. Our three ReStore managers and MP Vance Badawey handed the keys over to the family for them to begin their new journey.
Gordon presented Habitat Niagara with a framed poem he wrote about their life's journey.
Life's journey
On our life's journey
we had to run against winds,
while we tried to find our way.
On our life's journey
we pushed through again and again,
to get back to our feet to stay.
On our life's journey
God sent habitat,
said build a house to be a home
So they know that on their Life's journey
They don't journey alone.
"The impact to our family is simply knowing that we have something to leave for our three children," explains Gordon. "Where as we would most likely not be able to do otherwise - and something we can call our own. Thank you Habitat for Humanity!"
