The perception of stress is that all stress is negative and something to be avoided. The definition of mindset in the American Heritage Dictionary is: "a fixed mental attitude that predetermines a person's responses to and interpretations of situations." Carol Dweck's research has brought attention to the overriding importance of mindsets and has also dispelled the myth that they are immutable. https://gwilliamsfamilyeye.wordpress.com/2015/04/01/mindset-the-new-psychology-of-success/ There is now a substantial body of research – the conclusions of which are counterintuitive – which proves that mindsets can be changed and that these changes can be permanent. It is also clear that stress can be positive. Stress is not all the same and it provides important motivation.
Changing our mindset can make dramatic and lasting changes in our lives. Almost like the magical force in "Star Wars", in The Upside of Stress, Kelly McGonigal uses research to demonstrate how the forces of mindfulness and mindset can control our responses to anxiety and stress. While everyone has heard of the "fight or flight" response to stress, the "challenge" response and the "tend and befriend" responses are less well known.
To demonstrate that stress is not necessarily bad for us, McGonigal shares the following: "In 1998, thirty thousand adults in the United States were asked how much stress they had experienced in the past year. They were also asked, 'Do you believe stress is harmful to your health?' Eight years, later, the researchers scoured public records to find out who among the thirty thousand participants had died. Let me deliver the bad news first. High levels of stress increased the risk of dying by 43 percent. But – and this is what got my attention – that increased risk applied only to people who also believed that stress was harming their health. People who reported high levels of stress but who did not view their stress as harmful were not more likely to die. In fact, they had the lowest risk of death of anyone in the study, even lower than those who reported experiencing very little stress." p. xii
Also, "Those who had a positive view of aging in midlife lived an average of 7.6 years longer than those who had a negative view. To put that number in perspective, consider this: Many things we regard as obvious and important protective factors, such as exercising regularly, not smoking, and maintaining healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels, have been shown, on average, to add less than four years to one's life span." p. xiv
McGonigal goes on to explain that mindsets are core beliefs we have about how the world works. They tend to be invisible, like prejudices. "The mindset doesn't feel like a choice that we make; it feels like an accurate assessment of how the world works." p. 32 If we think about mindsets at all, we don't realize that they are choices we have made and that we can change our choices. "Our physical reality is more subjective than we believe. Perception matters." P. 4
"People who believe that stress can be helpful are more likely to say that they cope with stress proactively. For example, they are more likely to:
-Accept the fact that the stressful event has occurred and is real.
-Plan a strategy for dealing with the source of stress.
-Seek information, help, or advice.
-Take steps to overcome, remove, or change the source of stress.
-Try to make the best of the situation by viewing it in a more positive way or by using it as an opportunity to grow.
These different ways of dealing with stress lead to very different outcomes. When you face difficulties head-on, instead of trying to avoid or deny them, you build your resources for dealing with stressful experiences. You become more confident in your ability to handle life's challenges. You create a strong network of social support. Problems that can be managed get taken care of, instead of spiraling out of control. Situations that you can't control become opportunities to grow. In this way, as with many mindsets, the belief that stress is helpful becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy." p. 18
The thinking and life changes that people go through to avoid anxiety and stress have been demonstrated to produce more stress than the situation that they attempt to avoid. Also, "It turns out that a meaningful life is a stressful life." p. 65 "Feeling burdened rather than uplifted by everyday duties is more a mindset than a measure of what is going on in your life. These are normal and expected parts of life, but we treat them as if they are unreasonable impositions, keeping our lives from how they should really be." p. 69 Resilience was the theme of a prior blog https://gwilliamsfamilyeye.wordpress.com/2015/01/21/resilience/ which discusses the balance between load and resilience. The research on mindsets supports that changing your mindset decreases your load and increases your resilience. Kelly McGonigal's favorite description of resilience is from Salvatore Maddi; the courage to grow from stress. p. 94
Anxiety disorders can be crippling. People feel a loss of control. Lives are changed and the disorder can keep people constantly wary and fragile. Medications can help but behavioral interventions have the potential to be more powerful and more lasting. The following is an example of much of what has been discovered that is counterintuitive. "The value of rethinking stress is not limited to people who aren't really struggling. In fact, embracing the stress response may be even more important for those who suffer from anxiety. Here's why: Although people who have an anxiety disorder perceive their physiology as out of control, it actually isn't. In Jamieson's study, and in many others, people with anxiety self-report higher physical reactivity than those without anxiety. They think their hearts are pounding precariously fast and their adrenaline is surging to dangerous levels. But objectively, their cardiovascular and autonomic responses look just like those of the non-anxious. Everyone experiences an increase in heart rate and adrenaline. People with anxiety disorders perceive those changes differently. They may be more aware of the sensations of their heart beating or the changes in their breathing. And they make more negative assumptions about those sensations, fearing a panic attack. But their physical response is not fundamentally different." p. 125
As complicated as we are and as complicated as the world is, when we explore a wide range of behavioral problems and health problems, it is remarkable how we keep returning to a common core. We need to understand and take into consideration how our bodies, brains, and perceptions have evolved to produce the potentials that we have including the ability to adapt to the stresses of life. With this great potential we also have constraints. Understanding how our body/brain systems work provides insight into a range of disorders including sensory integration disorders, autism, allergies, auto-immune diseases, cancer, attention deficit disorder, and learning disabilities. Wellness and what fosters wellness is at least as difficult to study as are diseases. The variables are almost countless, but this is now being done and the revelations are astounding and exciting and have the potential to facilitate greater wellness in the future.

After launching sales last year, 4 The Kingsway by North Drive will soon hit a new milestone when construction begins this spring. Located at the intersection of The Kingsway and Bloor Street West, the boutique condominium will sit as the gateway into the prestigious and historic Kingsway community when construction is completed in late 2017.
With its tree-lined streets, stately homes, and idyllic park-like setting along the Humber River Valley, the Kingsway is one of Toronto's most desirable neighbourhoods. Recognizing the importance of the building's architecture in keeping with the community's heritage, North Drive worked with renowned architect Richard Wengle to design a contemporary Beaux-Arts inspired mid-rise.
"We want 4 The Kingsway to be a legacy building that sets a new tone for the surrounding established neighbourhood," said Jordan Morassutti, partner at North Drive. "We strived to create homes that complement the strong architectural character of the community while offering an elevated standard of living. In The Kingsway, this means respecting a longstanding neighbourhood aesthetic."
With a facade clad in stone and brick, the neoclassical, Flat Iron style structure boasts a traditional aesthetic mixed with the old-world cachet and elegance of Parisian apartment buildings.
"4 The Kingsway fills a void in the luxury west-end condominium market," said Robert Fidani, partner, North Drive. "We wanted to deliver a different take on what modern can mean, starting with a classical touch point and branching out."
Notable features like the stylish porte cochere and the turret capped with a zinc-clad dome add a touch of opulence to the contemporary design of the building.
"4 The Kingsway is a timeless building, not an of-the-moment building that will lose its flair," said Wengle, who is known for his custom Toronto manors. "It will be a defining landmark as you drive west and a beacon to the neighbourhood."
The elegance and attention to detail of the exterior is echoed inside where common areas and living spaces are designed by award-winning interior designer Brian Gluckstein. The beautiful lobby provides a warm welcome to homeowners and visitors with its soft, neutral palette, accented with pops of black and gold.
The suites are just as impressively appointed with high quality features and finishes including open concept living spaces, five-piece ensuites with marble mosaic floors and gourmet kitchens with Wolfe and Sub-Zero appliances. From the beautiful washed wood floors to the heritage-inspired crown molding, Gluckstein elevates each classical element with a modern touch to craft comfortable spaces with luxurious finishes.
"The suites feel like home," said Gluckstein. "Each suite is designed to make you feel like you've arrived to a warm, welcoming place of your own."
Units at 4 The Kingsway range in size from 1,291 square feet to over 3,000 square feet and are priced from $1 million to $3 million. To learn more about the development register online today.

Ice Systems' flake ice machines are used within most medium and large bakery businesses. Most of what we do comes from recommendations, not only for the quality of our machinery and the ice produced, but also the response of our aftermarket division when needed.
Flake ice has approximately four times greater cooling capabilities compared to chilled water and it is also easier to add when needed quickly. Flake ice is produced at -7°C. Adding ice directly to the mixture as an inclusion allows the ice to do its job quickly and efficiently. The structure of flake ice which is flat and thin, allows it to melt quickly and evenly, releasing its cooling energy rapidly into dough mixtures without leaving residue. Chip ice can often cause issues during the baking process as it can hang around (not melt) which can lead to air pockets within the product.
Ice Systems Flake ice can be treated like any other ingredient and added in when needed. During the production of bread, flake ice helps to retard yeast growth, allowing the mixture to be properly controlled in the timescale required. Flake ice has good melting behaviour releasing its cooling qualities evenly throughout mixtures and batches. Flake ice is used within pie, pastry and pasty production.
For further information please give Ice Systems a call or fill in our online enquiry form. We are always more than happy to visit your site to discuss your project. Before the delivery of either a purchased or rental ice machine, an engineer from Ice Systems will always visit your site to survey and discuss service requirements and airflow demands.

BOISE, Idaho — Rockstar Husqvarna's Colton Haaker locked up his second AMA EnduroCross championship with a conservative second place finish at the Boise finale.
FMF KTM's Cody Webb did everything he could to hang onto his number one plate by taking the win in front of another large and enthusiastic crowd.
Third place for the night went to Beta's Ty Tremaine, who also narrowly beat SRT-Husqvarna's Kyle Redmond for third in the championship after both battled for most of the main event.
Haaker started the day by taking the fastest hot lap time just a tenth of a second faster than Webb. Tremaine, GasGas backed Geoff Aaron and Dustin McCarthy rounded out the top five.
Haaker kept the momentum going in the first heat race by taking the win and bonus point ahead of Tremaine. Ty Cullins rode his Beta to third place. Mason Ottersberg, Cooper Abbott and Max Gerston also earned spots in the main event.
In heat two, Webb took the win and matched Haaker with the bonus point. GasGas backed Noah Kepple finished a strong second. Redmond, Aaron, Nick Thompson and Cory Graffunder rounded out the top six spots to move to the main event.
The bracket races were up next for the top four riders from each of the two heat races. Those riders race in single lap, head-to-head races. Haaker and Webb moved through the brackets to face off for a bonus point and first gate pick for the main. Webb took the lead out of the first turn and led about half of the lap before he pushed too hard into a sand turn and went down. This handed the win and bonus point to Haaker.
Cullins blasted his Beta 300 two-stroke to the front at the start of the main event, just ahead of Haaker and Webb. The two championship combatants moved past Cullins, who had troubles and dropped back to ninth by the end of the first lap. Haaker led the first two laps and Webb jumped a huge log double to close right up to his back wheel and then made a pass for the lead on lap three.
Webb kept jumping the large double to open a gap on Haaker, who was riding a conservative race to clinch the championship. Haaker made it through the No Joke Lane on lap nine of 15 and the only drama remaining for Webb was to make it through the No Joke Lane himself without losing time. Webb did that on lap eleven and went on for his third win of the season.
The battle for third in the race and championship between Tremaine and Redmond was intense. Redmond came into the race with a single point lead over Tremaine so whichever rider finished in front of the other would take the spot. Tremaine quickly worked up from eighth position on lap one to lock into a battle with Redmond. They traded third a few times before Tremaine opened a gap in the closing laps.
Redmond held on for fourth position in the race and championship.
Fifth place went to Cullins, who recovered from his tough first lap. The strong finish also earned Cullins the Junior EnduroCross championship, which is a championship within a championship for riders twenty-one and under. The nineteen-year-old also finished the season in sixth place.
Aaron finished the race in sixth to cap off a solid season that ended up with him earning fifth in the championship, just a single point ahead of Cullins. For Aaron, a former main event winner who has raced most of the EnduroCross events since the first one in 2004, this was his best season in several years.

When you have 10 jobs
This November, I will be speaking at the Worship Facilities Expo in Nashville. As part of the preparation for that event, I was asked to write a practical article for someone working in the church and decided to post it here as well. You can find out more about the conference here: http://wfxweb.com/2015/
Technology has changed the church in ways I don't think anyone could have ever predicted. Sunday services used to depend on a piano, singer, pastor and good acoustics and now have setups that rival some national production houses. The internet is a fantastic tool for sharing ideas, but I have found that it can also be intimidating to see what some larger churches are doing, and feel like those in smaller churches "can't compete" with those productions. However, we find someone in the church and call them "tech director" because we feel like we need someone to organize all of the technology in our building and make sure everything runs smoothly. I have found that in many churches, this tech director is asked to perform numerous duties which can sometimes be daunting for one person alone.
Worship Leader. Tech director. Sound Tech. Graphics Designer. Stage Designer. Video Editor. Producer. All of those things (and probably more) fall under my own job description, and you may have others as well.
So, with many responsibilities and the desire to use technology in creative and exciting ways, how do we manage to survive each week without working 60 hours? Here are a few suggestions that will hopefully be helpful to you.
- Keep the main thing, the main thing.
We need to focus on our relationship with God first – after all, what we do is Spirit-empowered work. In our church we talk about how all people are ministers of Jesus, and you wouldn't expect your pastor to go a whole week without reading his Bible, would you? Well, you are a minister too. Start by being with God, then you can do His work. Family is next after God. If your kids think the church is your home, you need to reevaluate your time. Finally, proclaiming the Word of God is first. Our ideas are great, but the Word is what inspires our worship, foremost.
- Know who's in charge.
Your pastor has the final say. I know this can be hard, especially after working hard on a great idea only to see it thrown away, but that's his position. Hopefully, you have good communication with whomever you report to in order to minimize those situations, but no matter how good your idea is, it is still up to him to give it the thumbs up.
- Know your limitations
As much as trying to do everything seems heroic and playing the martyr gets pity points, we just can't do it all. Trying to plan Sunday services, edit videos, visit people in the hospital, schedule volunteers, and write click tracks is a big load for one person. You need to be clear for yourself what you can and cannot do, then lovingly communicate to those who lead you about your limitations.
- Find help!
Start to find people to come around you who can fill in your gaps. Not good at organization? I'm sure there are 10 people in your church who could happily spend a week in The Container Store. Maybe there are some teens in your church who love shooting and editing video, or a stay-at-home volunteer who can get on Planning Center and line up volunteer schedules for you. Start by making a list of the things you have to do, then list all the things someone else could do. This takes humility, and letting go is hard, but not only does it help you focus on what you're best at, it also empowers someone else to use their gifting.
- Learn how to say "no"
Jason Hatley from the Journey Church says that "Sundays come along with great regularity." We are not planning for a major musical production three months from now, we have seven days to prepare something that stirs people's sense of wonder toward the greatness of God. Some things just cannot happen with short notice. I had a pastor once who did not realize the effort to create a short video and gave me one day's notice, it just was not going to work. This is also a great time to "lead up" and encourage your pastor to work with you in planning further out so more creative things can be added.
- Dream Big
Just because you're a small church, doesn't mean you can't execute big things. Our church of 400 has done Willow Creek productions. www.churchstagedesignideas.com is full of small churches doing great stages. Work with whatever staff or volunteers at your church, seek God, dream, and plan. Ministry is hard work, but it should be fun! We proclaim the God of Creation, Redemption and Restoration! We can't do it all, but together we can inspire people to authentic worship, by showing people God through our art.

Night Photography
Night photography may be one of the most spectacular photographic disciplines. Also, on the other hand, it may be one of the disciplines that most distorts reality, in some of its variants, since it offers us to capture scenes that the human eye is unable to see as the Milky Way in all its splendor, to see traces of stars or even create the circumpolar unreal, to get "Martian" landscapes in a terrestrial atmosphere.
It's how beautiful photography often is. That used with discretion, allows us to alter reality and create worlds, create stories, create beauty.

Ariana Grande Is Billboard's Woman Of The Year
Ariana Grande is Billboard magazine's Woman of the Year for 2018, and will be on hand to receive the honour in person during Billboard's annual Women in Music dinner and award gala in New York City next month on December 6.
Ross Scarano, Billboard's Vice President of Content, said in a statement: "Ariana Grande is a star on her own terms, never bending to any particular musical trend or path in the industry. Certain in her convictions, she consistently stands up for herself and her decisions in a world that often isn't hospitable to that sort of strength in young women. She's got guts, she's making some of the best music of her career, and she's absolutely deserving of Woman of the Year."
And the 'No Tears Left to Cry' hitmaker couldn't be happier with the news, as she took to Twitter on Tuesday (06.11.18) to thank Billboard for the "honour".
thank u for this honor @billboard ?
— Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) November 6, 2018
For Ariana, the award follows a tough year which has seen her mourning the death of her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller – who died in September – and split from her fiancé Pete Davidson last month.

But the star has had some positives this year too, with her new track 'thank u, next' becoming the first pop song to reach the number one spot on Apple Music's Top 100 Global Chart as well on the Top 100 U.S. Chart.
The song had 9 million streams worldwide in the first 24 hours, and Ariana also set the Spotify record for the biggest day for a female artist, with 8.19 million streams.
In August, her album 'Sweetener' debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart.

End of Year Yarn: Food Democracy

Companies Redefining Sustainability for Long Term Success
Open the paper or get online and the news isn't hopeful on the environment. Last March scientists declared that the global average concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reached a new record high, soaring to surpass 400 parts per million. Recently President Obama addressed graduates at the Coast Guard Academy telling them that "global warming is a national security threat." He added that "Climate change will impact every country on the planet… so we need to act — and we need to act now." Members of the Sustainable Food Trade Association (SFTA) are doing just that!

Agricultural Workers on the Front Lines of California's Drought
California is enduring its third consecutive year of drought and the impacts to agriculture and its economy are profound. The limited ground water and dry wells are impacting everything from the price of organic almonds to the connoisseur's grass fed beef. In my previous blog entitled California, the House of the Rising Sun, I highlight the effects the drought is having on farmers and ranchers, and the emergency measures being implemented to conserve water and change the way we manage it. The untold story behind the headlines is the significant impact the drought has on agricultural workers and entire communities as its arid grip tightens across the land.

It's easier than ever to schedule or participate in professional development activities on campus, thanks to the college's new Professional Learning Center.
Located on the fourth floor of the J-Building in room 4019, the PLC's Lab is an ideal space for:
- Group webinars
- Hands-on technology training
- Workshops needing MS Office and/or web-based applications
- Presentations to be recorded and posted online
Though the college already provides various professional development opportunities and services for faculty and staff, Distance Education director Chris Harvey said, there hasn't been a designated facility, a way to streamline scheduling, or a place to effectively share these opportunities college-wide.
"We think it's important to foster a culture where all employees are continuously learning and improving their professional knowledge and skills," Kristin Ciesemier, assessment coordinator, said. "The center helps JJC to achieve its strategic goals for student success, institutional sustainability and technology-facilitated services."
All information relating to the Professional Learning Center can be found on its myJJC Portal page, which is located within the Faculty/Staff Resources section under the tab All Departments.
There, users can submit online scheduling requests, view previously recorded sessions, and have access to a calendar of the center's upcoming events.
In the future, Harvey added, the goal is to offer a master calendar of all professional development opportunities, whether they're scheduled in the center or elsewhere on campus.
Features of the PLC Lab include: 14 Laptop PCs, Presenter Podium with PC, LCD Projector, Smartboard, Touchscreen LCD Display, Document Camera, Conference Phone, Video and Audio Equipment for Recording Presentations.
Those interested in scheduling a session in the PLC Lab should visit the Professional Learning Center's MyJJC portal page and submit a request using the "PLC Lab Scheduling Request" form.
There is also a form on the site that faculty and staff can utilize to promote their own professional learning events. Chris Harvey is available at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling ext. 6635 to answer any questions you may have about the Professional Learning Center and scheduling the PLC Lab.
The Professional Learning Center is the result of an Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) action project the college is currently working on. The AQIP project team that developed the idea includes English and Foreign Languages Department Chair Roxanne Munch; Vice President of Institutional Advancement and Research Ryan Smith; former Interim Vice President of Academic Affairs Linda Uzureau; and Ciesemier and Harvey.
In addition, the 2009-2010 Continuous Quality Improvement Network (CQIN) team visited other professional development centers in the area to research what peer institutions were doing. That CQIN team included Smith, Keith Tillman, registrar; Elizabeth Richardson, web designer; and Andrew Lenaghan, librarian.

Passengers can rejoice, as travelling around the Sultanate is set to get easier and safer, as the Ministry of Tourism announced its plans to implement a new taxi management system service.
Ingenuity Technologies LLC, solutions provider based in Oman, will be partnering with the Ministry of Tourism to launch the service soon.
The system will bring all the taxi services under one umbrella, using a 24-hour call centre and monitoring room to track all the vehicles, thus providing a safe and secure environment for everyone to use the taxi services for their commutes.
The highlight of the service will be an application that will be available at your fingertips.
With the app, you can call for a taxi from anywhere, and at any time. Users can download the dedicated app for Android or iOS devices, or simply use the website or call-centre facility.
The applications will provide passengers and drivers with their locations on Google maps along with the routes to the destinations.
Passengers can also opt for prepayment of the taxi fares.
Furthermore, the app will offer drivers alternative routes [shorter routes] using the GPS system, thereby helping to reduce fuel consumption.
The drivers will also be given customer service and language training, following which they will receive a certification from the International Road Transport Union (IRU). The service will initially be made available at select star hotels and the Sultan Qaboos Port, and should benefit the passengers following longstanding issues such as overcharging by taxi drivers in Oman.
Meanwhile, Mwasalat is also planning to launch a new route to Al Khoudh, connecting Sultan Qaboos University and Burj Al Sahwa Roundabout, this July.
"Preliminary studies suggest opening new routes will be successful as they will serve a large segment of citizens and residents in the Sultanate," Salim bin Mohammed al Nuaimi, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Transport and Communications for Transport and Chairman of Mwasalat Board, was quoted as saying to the local media.
The frequency of buses to Sohar, Salalah and Nizwa will also be increased during the months of Ramadan.the
"There will be eight and five buses a day both to and from Sohar and Nizwa, respectively, in addition to increase in the number of buses to Salalah during khareef season.
"This is being done to facilitate those wishing to travel to these destinations and spend more time with their families during the holy month," he said.
A "one-bus-a-day" service from Muscat to Duqm is also expected by the third quarter of the year. The frequency of the route will be increased in later stages.
According to Al Nuaimi, the company has already chalked out a master plan for the next 20 years, which will be unveiled, this October.

Ho hum. Another mediocre 2000s Woody Allen film.
Scoop – sadly not based on the Evelyn Waugh novel – follows Scarlett Johansson as an American student journalist, new to London. The 'Tarot Card Killer' – a Jack The Ripper-esque murderer – is on the loose, and Johansson receives a tip-off about the possible identity – bonzer Australian guy English aristocrat, Hugh Jackman. However, the tip-off comes from a recently deceased Ian McShane, who is now nothing more than a "hunk of ectoplasm". So she must investigate Jackman herself, but – as is the way with Woody Allen films – she quickly becomes romantically involved with him. And thrown into this scenario, helping her investigation, is Woody Allen as an aging stage magician.
The film does have some amusing lines, which are appreciated. But unfortunately none of these are either exceptionally funny or memorable, and there numerous others which try and sadly fail to generate any laughter. And across the length of a film – albeit the perfect Woody Allen length of 96 minutes – those chasms of non-laughter become all too noticeable.
Back to the positives, Johansson and Allen are surprisingly funny in their on-screen interactions together. However Hugh Jackman, as the love interest, is particularly poor. Blame for that should be laid primarily with the writing (although he is partly responsible for accepting the role in the first place). The romance between himself and Scarlett Johansson is horribly cringe-worthy, and not purposefully (à la 'The Office'). We should just be thankful that – for once – the 71-year old Allen chose not to cast himself as the love interest.
Like his previous film, Match Point (2005) – also starring Johansson – Woody Allen shows us a version of England which bears no resemblance to any normal British existence. Instead, it is all country houses and aristocracy, Bayswater and Holland Park. If some satire was offered of this it would be fine, but sadly there is not. Instead, in its 'grittier' moments we see prostitutes 'slumming it' in glamorous South Kensington apartments.
Where Scoop does have one up on Match Point here is in the presence of Woody Allen's sarcastic put-downs and one-liners, one of the stronger elements of the film. In Match Point meanwhile, the characters were all unintentionally grating and dislikeable.
Being a Woody Allen film, there are also numerous references to classic films that he likes. As Allen is obsessed with both magic and Ingmar Bergman, it was somewhat inevitable that 'The Magician' (Ingmar Bergman, 1958) would crop up. And a dramatic scene towards the end is a shot-for-shot remake of the excellent 'A Place In The Sun' (George Stevens, 1951). But these references are of no benefit to the film itself, and are only present in order that pretentious arseholes (like moi) can pat themselves on the back.
Despite being filmed in London, the film did not even get a theatrical release in the UK, and sadly this is indicative about the level of quality. To stress again, there are some amusing moments in the film, and it is passably entertaining. But it is Woody Allen delivering a bare minimum expected, rather than any great work.

Have you been told that your NICU baby will get to go home soon? Hooray!! It's quite possibly the best thing you could ever have heard.
Although, you might wonder what will it be like? Especially after home has changed so much.
As a former NICU mom, I wanted to share what exactly it's like to bring baby home plus a few tips on how to make the transition smoother!
In an effort to fully disclose, this article contains affiliate links. This means if you purchase something, I would receive a commission. For more information, see my disclosure page.
The First Few Nights
The first few nights home with baby, you won't sleep much. If at all.
You will also panic because there aren't nurses and doctors right around the corner if you need help. You might even get so desperate that you feel like you can't do this…but you can!
Having an NICU baby changes people and it will change you too. You will have a strength that no one else, but an NICU parent has.
Just remember to breathe, and know that each day you will slowly find your normal. Your normal of being at home, like everyone else!
You can also check out my article on how to take care of a baby in the first few weeks. This will help give you a good idea of what to do if this is your first baby.
It will seem a lot quieter
After listening to the familiar beeps and alarms in the NICU, it can seem a lot quieter at home. A good quiet though!
In fact, your little one may sleep through a lot of noises because of this. 🙂
You will worry more than most
When you bring your NICU baby home, you will worry about EVERYTHING. From the people that come near your little one, to even letting anyone watch him/her.
I actually felt guilty letting anyone watch my son, because I had left him in the NICU for those first few weeks.
Although you have been given the all clear, you will still worry about your little one having a relapse. You will also worry about whether or not he/she is breathing properly.
You will worry about every little detail, to the point that people might get annoyed with you…but you know what? It will get better.
You will feel like a first-timer
If this isn't your first baby, you will still feel like a first-timer. This is because it is probably your first NICU baby…and that is a big first.
Not something anyone probably every wanted, but a first regardless. I know for me, I felt like I knew nothing! (And my nicu baby was my second).
Tips to Make The Transition Smoother
Now that you know what to expect, there are a few things you can do to help make the transition a little smoother.
The first thing you will want to do is ask your baby's doctor if there is anything you should keep an eye out for when you are home with baby.
Knowledge is power, and it can certainly help ease your mind if you know what to look out for.
Another thing that can help ease your mind, and make you feel a little more comfortable is purchasing an Owlet Smart Sock. This little device keeps track of your baby's oxygen levels and heart rate.
It will then send you notifications to your phone, so you are always in the know!
The last thing you can do to ease the transition would be to keep the same feeding/sleeping schedule that the NICU had. This helps because baby will have already established a routine (depending on how long he/she stayed).
The fewer changes the better, at least in the beginning.
Other than your home seeming extra quiet, and the first few nights being bad, bringing your NICU baby home is just like bringing any baby home.
You will worry constantly, have sleepless nights, and have lots of questions.
Just make sure to ask for help, and give your baby lots of snuggles! Also, don't forget to check out the Owlet Smart Sockfor an added peace of mind.
What's the one thing that surprised/scared you when you brought your little one home? Leave me a comment below! Also, don't forget to pin this if you enjoyed reading it!! 🙂 Thanks.

IBM and Microsoft, it seems, have never gotten over their nasty Windows-OS/2 breakup. While they should be very much aligned (IBM sells tons of servers that run Windows Server operating systems), they bicker like children.
That's perfect for HP, which has used this animus to stay close to Microsoft. And now that IBM and Microsoft are fighting over the cloud, why wouldn't HP sidle up and becomes Microsoft new cloud best friend?
That's just what HP did this Wednesday with the announcement of a three-year partnership with Microsoft to jointly build and sell cloud solutions. Much of the work centers around integration -- just making sure that Microsoft software works well on HP software and that techies from either side can support it. These efforts will help cloud providers as well as IT who may want to build private clouds in their own datacenters.
But with a quarter-of-a-billion dollars pledged to the effort, I'm hoping to see more than integration, but nifty and compelling new services.

Microsoft announced on Tuesday that its plans to drop support for Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols 1.0 and 1.1 in its browsers will get delayed by a few months until the second half of this year.
Attackers can attempt to hide malicious payloads in Excel files sent by e-mail by using a standard Excel feature, according to a Tuesday post by Mimecast researchers.
Microsoft on Monday announced new "Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscriptions" to come next month, a new single consumer product providing access to applications such as Excel, PowerPoint and Word.
Microsoft on Monday announced coming product naming changes, where "Office 365" is mostly getting replaced by the "Microsoft 365" brand.

Cooking for a busy family often means tweaking recipes to individual tastes, and learning to incorporate ingredients you have on hand into meals. Lemon juice is a basic ingredient that has countless uses in the kitchen. Ever the multitasker, you might not have time to run out for more lemon juice when you run out in the middle of cooking dinner. As a resourceful mom, however, you know you've got a kitchen full of appropriate substitutions.
Lemon Flavor
When lemon flavoring is what you want to impart on a dish and you have not a drop of lemon juice left in the house, you'll need to get a little creative. Lemon extract may work well for baked goods such as cookies, cakes and breads. Use extracts sparingly, one drop at a time, as they are extremely concentrated and could overpower the other flavors in your recipe. Lemongrass and lemon verbena are lemony herbs that can serve as substitutions as well. Sprinkle a bit of dried herbs on top of chicken or seafood.
Sometimes it's not necessarily the lemon flavor you want, but the zing of acidity that lemon juice provides to foods such as salsa, guacamole, fresh fish and sourdough-based baked goods. In this case, an equal substitution of another citrus juice or vinegar does the trick. Salad dressings made with vinegar may be too sharp in taste, however. Adjusting the measurement to one-half cider vinegar and one-half water is an appropriate substitution.
Anti-Browning Solutions
Lemon juice is routinely used in the kitchen to prevent browning in fruit and vegetables that discolor upon exposure to the air. The active ingredient that stops the oxidation process is vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid. Choose another citrus fruit juice, such as lime, grapefruit or orange to perform this function when you're all out of lemon juice. In a pinch, dissolve vitamin C tablets into water at a ratio of 3,000 milligrams per gallon.
Freezing Lemons
Intact lemons stay fresh in the refrigerator for about two weeks. Once you have cut into the fruit, it may begin to rot more quickly. If you find yourself without lemon juice because your lemons spoil before you can use them, preserve the fruit or the juice in the freezer. Peel and remove membranes and seeds from lemons before placing them in an airtight container. To freeze lemon juice so you'll have it ready, juice lemons into a glass jar, clean ice cube tray or a zip-top bag. Seal tightly before freezing.

The sitestructure is one of the key parts of your optimisation. If you get this part right, you will save yourself a lot of time and trouble in the future.
Firstly, an important step is to ensure that your website performs well with all the major search engines. By using the clearly defined structure of our overall website, as well as in the individual pages that make up the website, we are providing effective signposts to both visitors and search engines. HTML has long had semantic tags that help to define what type of content is being presented <h1>, <p>, <u1>, <li> and <img> are all semantic elements that should, in theory tell us what type of content to expect within them.
Sometimes though web designers use tags purely for their inherent visual attributes. For example an <h1> tag might simply be emploed to make a piece of text big and bold, rather than because the content within the tag is actually the main heading for the page. Another way is what may visualu appear to be a heading might actually be just standard paragraph text that has had a <strong> tag wrapped around it.
The visual first approach however misses all the benefits of a semantic structure where the content is defined by structure. As a result search engines will have a hard time understanding how to break down the content on your website. Therefore we recommended you always carefully the structure of your page. The most important pieces of content on a page should be marked up with <H1> tag, the second most important with an <H2> and so on.
Use one <H1> per page and not more than four <H2> tags per page.
When it comes to planning site architecture, content organization and a building a sitemap of your website, you want to make sure that no piece of content is ever more than three clicks away from the homepage.
A breadcrumb trail is a series of text links moving from left to right that shows visitors where in the website they are, and gives them a fast and easy way of navigating back to any of the previous pages.
Breadcrumbs are a vital part of the design of your website as they will help with the websites overall usability and search engine optimisation (SEO). the reason breadcrumb trails are so valuable from a search engine optimisation standpoint is that you are able to use your keywords in the anchortext and link those through to the most valuable page. This increases the value of your chosen keywords within your internal linking profile, which in turn helps to indicate the relevance of your website to the search engines.
When using the breadcrumbs remember to:
You have approximately two or three seconds to capture your visitors attention, no matter what page they land on. As the front door of your website, the homepage must achieve the following in that time.
When a visitor leaves quickly time on site is reduced. When a visitor leaves without clicking on any other page, this affect the bounce result. This also assessed by Google's algorithm when ranking your website in search engine results.
Every page is a potential landing page. Visitors will not always enter your website by way of the homepage. They could arrive on any page of the website depending on the results of how a search or how social media referral is made.
Time is valuable. You must reward website visitors for visiting your website. If you do not provide the information, solution, or answer they are seeking in a timely fashion they will move on to another website; most likely that of your competitors! And statistics show that they will not return. Most consumers expect a web page to load in two to three seconds.
Web pages without any pictures look bland, but that 's no excuse for covering your webpage with decorative effects. The number and size of pictures on a website directly affects how long it takes to download a particular website. So you need to be selective in what you use, and make sure those images maximises the value for the visitor.While it is oke to use some decorative images, the best pictures are those that inform or entertain and they help you to tell your story, for example:
How big do you need the picture to be? You can easily shrink digital pictures but can not enlarge them without losing quality. So start with the highest quality image you can find. Don't forgetpictures are protected by copyright.
An internal link is a link that go from one page on a domain to a different page on the same domain. They are mostly used in main navigation. These type of links are useful for three reasons: 1. They allow users to navigate a website. 2. They help establish information hierarchy for the given website. 3. They help spread linkequity (ranking power) around websites. Internal links are most useful for establishing site architecture and spreading link equity.
One of the most important optimisation opportunities you have is to develop a simple and direct internal linking strategy. How you link from one page to another is very important. Many sites significantly improve their rankings based on a strong internal linking strategy.
Most internal links will have 'click here' as the anchor text but this is pointless and adds no relevance to your website whatsever. Instead of using 'click here' as the anchor text you should be using the relevant keywords for that page, as this will add relevance and help Google to see what the page is about. Internal linking provides direct access to your webpages in order of importance.
Internal links are very important because they allow for easy access to your content by search engine spiders and can transfer Google PR between pages.
Internal linking not only helps the search engine spiders index your page, but is also helps visitors find other related content within your site. Extremely important links are those within the body of your articles. This type of internal links helps to increase indexing of your website as well as the rankings of individual pages.
The design and lay out of a website makes the all important first impression about the site. There are sites which are too fancy and regular surfers will just reach on those sites and then will exit them very quickly without even making a single stick.
Search engines are very smart, but after all they are only software and not human beings who can read the intent behind their interests. If you make your site too complicated then the search engine will not be able to analyse the content of your site properly and finally, indexing, would not be efficient and this will result in a low ranking.
Make sure that Google and other major search engines are reading the text of your page prior to reading other page elements such as navigational items. Using frames makes your site noticeably slower to load and taking users more to navigate: it also makes it more difficult for crawlers and spiders to access the information contained within the frames.
If you want to help yourself and at the same time help Google, then you must include a Google sitemap. A sitemap is a single page on your website that provides access to all the other pages on your site, at least the most important ones. Sitemaps serve two purposes. First they make it easy for visitors to assess the content on your site, and second, they enable search engines to spider your site much quicker.
When the spider arrives at your website, it will read the first page of your website and then start looking at your navigation links, which should include a link to your sitemap. When the search engine spider reaches your sitemap, it begins visiting and indexing each link contained on your map. It is a good idea to have more than an index on your sitemap. Try to include short paragraphs of descriptive text for each link. Which of course should contain your keywords.
Some search engines require an xml based sitemap. Creating an xml based sitemap is not difficult at all.
One of the simplest methods to improve your search engine optimisation is to look at the way you name your files and pages. Page names are the names of the specific pages on your website. A page name identifies and separates that page from others on your website.
Page names should be properly optimized so that they can assisst Google in deciding what your pages are about and determining their relevance. This will help Google to decide the relevance of each page both in terms of your website theme and whether it should show the page in its results.
To optimize your page and file names you simply need to know what keywords you are trying to target for each page and try to use them in the page and file names where relevant. It is important to remember that you should not just stuff keywords in, your purpose is to add relevance, not to mislead.
Redirects are important in updating or changing a website and so must be used correctly. There are a few different types of redirects but we will only be concentrating on one type the 301 redirect. The 301 redirect is the most search engine friendly way to redirect traffic from one page to another. We recommended using a 301 redirect if you want to:

Ojai, California | Third Talk in The Oak Grove, 1946
Questioner: What is there to prove that the perpetuation of the self is in itself bad?
Krishnamurti: Nothing at all, if we are satisfied with it and unaware of the issues of life, but we are all in comparative strife and sorrow. Some cover up their pains or escape from them. They have not resolved their confusion and misery.
Realizing our state of self-contradiction and its painful conflicts, we want to find the right way of transcending it; for in incompleteness there is no peace. Is it not the very nature of the self, at all times, to be contradictory? This contradiction breeds conflict, confusion, and enmity. Craving, the very basis of the self, is ever unfulfilled; in trying to overcome incompleteness, man is ever in conflict within and without. Those who are in earnest must discover for themselves the truth about incompleteness. This discovery does not depend on any authority or formula nor on the acquisition of knowledge. To discover truth we must be passively aware. Since we are afraid and enclosed we must be aware of the causes that create resistance, of the desire for self-perpetuation which creates conflict.
Questioner: What happens to that self-perpetuating intelligence when a soldier in battle throws himself in front of a gun to save another?
Krishnamurti: Probably at the moment of great tension the soldier forgets himself, but is that a recommendation for war?
Questioner: Do we not hear that war brings out noble, self-sacrificing qualities?
Krishnamurti: Through a wrong act, the killing of another, can a right, worthy end be realized?

The LuLac Edition #4,121, August 7th, 2019
This week we'd like to present a very interesting and informative Editorial from Times Shamrock regarding the SNAP program. This entity has been helping people right above or near the poverty line for years and helping farmers too. As a matter of fact, it is an agricultural program designed to help the Family Farm. Here's what the Editors wrote:
Nobody is getting fat on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, SNAP, which many people still refer to as "food stamps."
Yet the Trump administration wants to abandon its states' rights philosophy to limit SNAP benefits. Under a proposed rule, it would stop the current practice by which states may expand eligibility, requiring them instead to adhere strictly to federal standards.
Nationwide, about 3.1 million of the 36 million people who receive SNAP benefits would lose them. In Pennsylvania, according to the Wolf administration, about 200,000 of the 1.86 million enrolled in SNAP would become ineligible.
This is not a case of the affluent free-riding on a program intended for the poor. People who would lose the benefits have incomes higher than the federal eligibility rule but only marginally so.
Eligibility under the federal rule is up to 130% of the official poverty level. For an individual, that 13% level equates to $16,000 a year and $32,000 for a family of four. Pennsylvania's eligibility standard is 160% of the federal poverty level, about $18,000 for an individual or $38,000 for a family of four.
The rule change would have a significant impact in Northeast Pennsylvania. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 16,426 of the 265,416 households in the 8th Congressional District receive SNAP benefits. Of those, 45.2% include at least one person older than 60; 36.5% include at least one child younger than 18, and 52% include at least one disabled person. The USDA reported that 42% of those households have incomes below the federal poverty level, with a median household income of $20,929.
About 40% of those households include two or more workers. Districtwide, 72.9% of beneficiaries are white, 11.3% are black, 9.4% are Asian and 8.4% are Latino (the figures total more than 100% because of overlap among categories).
State lawmakers could mitigate the impact by increasing the $7.25 hourly minimum wage to a near-living wage, which would create some upward pressure on wages and boost many SNAP recipients' incomes beyond the state SNAP eligibility standards.
The majority is more likely, however, to maintain the poverty-level wage and celebrate diminished SNAP eligibility as a victory for government efficiency. Such governance illustrates that the Legislature itself needs a different sort of supplemental assistance.

This activity is also essential for the creation of an ISO 26262-compliant safety case, which is defined as a compilation of work products. OSLC represents a promising integration framework for enabling tool interoperability and thus seamless traceability and documentation management, including safety case creation and management. In this paper, we present a step related to our work aimed at offering an OSLC-based infrastructure enabling the automatic generation of safety case fragments. Our step consists of the identification, representation and shaping of resources needed to create the safety case. Finally, conclusion and perspectives for future work are also drawn.ISO 26262,

Waterfront Place, Brisbane city Dec 16th, 2009
It gives me great pleasure to be able to launch the Pacific Storms exhibition in Brisbane. This exhibition is the first of its kind in Australia. It features leading Pacific Islander artists, both from Australia and the Pacific, and it has as its theme the changing climatic conditions which are affecting the islands in dramatic ways. Pacific art is always vibrant and full of colour, and this collection is no exception. The wonderful colour and feeling jumps off the canvass to grab the attention of the viewer, and also carries a powerful message.
As an Australian of Pacific Islands ancestry I am very conscious of the importance of the Pacific to the future of Australia. Australia has Pacific communities scattered across all of the States and Territories, yet these people are hard to quantify. If we believe the 2001 census there are around 100,000 Pacific Islanders in Australia. This figure is conservative, because and the real figure is certainly more than 300,000 and may even be close to 500,000. If you ask the Papua New Guinea Consul in Brisbane he will tell you that there are 30,000 Papua New Guineans in Australia, 75 percent of who live in Queensland, most of them in the Greater Brisbane area. The census says 24,000. There are supposed to be 30,000 people of Samoan descent living in the LoganˆIpswich corridor, yet the census suggests that there are only 15,240 Samoans in all of Australia. Many are obscured in the statistics because they entered Australia via New Zealand. And others, like my own people are obscured by generations of living in Australia.
I am a descendant of the approximately 50,000 Pacific Islanders who entered Queensland as indentured labourers between 1863 and 1904, working on 62,000 indenture contracts. Two unique words that identify my people – now known as Australian South Sea Islanders – are Blackbirding and Kanaka. Blackbirding was the term used to describe the process which brought my ancestors to Queensland: the word has a strong taint of illegality and stealing of labourers. Kanaka is actually a Polynesian word for ordinary rural people, but the word became a unique identifier of the South Sea Islanders. Today, in New Caledonia the word has become Kanak, a signifier of nationalist pride, now totally detached from its original depreciating meaning. These Islanders lived all along the Queensland sugar coast and in northern New South Wales; and many of the families remain today in the same areas. Pacific Storms first opened in Bundaberg, a sugar town which remains important as a centre for Pacific Islanders.
As a sportsman I have always been conscious that I am a role model for younger sportsmen and sportswomen, and have tried to play a role in community development in many different ways. Pacific Storms allows me to link together my Pacific ancestry, arts and community development, and to use my sporting background to promote the art and culture of Pacific peoples.
The exhibition also represents the developments in contemporary Pacific arts which are far better accepted and appreciated in New Zealand, United States and many European countries than in Australia. Pacific arts are still struggling to find a place in Australia, and Pacific Storms is part of the giving Pacific arts a more prominent place in an Australian arts environment.
This exhibition is an important mixture of art, environmental issues and Pacific peoples. I hope that it has the impact it deserves on Australia. It shows works of great beauty, but it also contains a warning about the changing environment; a warning that we ignore at our peril.

This Sort Of Grip Assists You In Twisting The Bar In One Direction, So Your Underhand Grip Starts Twisting The Bar In The Opposite Direction.
To build sculpted, defined muscle takes a little bit of mental effort. You have to know a lot in order to develop efficient techniques when it comes to bodybuilding, in order to get the results that you are looking for. Read on for some tips about how to efficiently build your muscles so that you can create the body you desire.
Always take in enough vegetables. Often, vegetables are overlooked in a muscle development plan, in favor of the emphasis on proteins. There are a lot of important nutrients that are rare in carb- and protein-rich foods but plentiful in vegetables. They are also good places to get fiber. Your body uses fiber to process protein more efficiently.
An often overlooked part of a good exercise program is warming up. As muscles gain strength, they will undergo greater stress, and will thus be more vulnerable to injuries. That is why you need to warm up. Warm-ups consist of light exercise followed by warm-up sets of exercise. Don't lift weights until you've completed your warm-up routine.
You need lots of protein in order to build muscle. Muscles are built from protein and the body needs plenty to rebuild them. It will be difficult for your body to increase its muscle mass if you are not consuming enough protein in your diet. Eat lean proteins no less than twice a day with meals, and at least once in the form of a snack.
Making goals for the short-term, and giving yourself rewards when you reach those goals, is a great way to motivate yourself. Achieving long term goals requires that you provide yourself with motivation along the way. Try setting up rewards that can assist you in your quest of gaining muscle. For instance, you may get a massage since they can boost your blood flow and further your recovery on days off.
Though creatine is safe for use when trying to build muscle mass, there are precautions you must be aware of. You should stay away from creatine if you have any kind of kidney problems. Other negative reactions could include muscle compartment syndrome, cramps and arrhythmia. Younger individuals are generally more susceptible to these problems. If you do use the supplement, make sure you follow the recommended dosage and schedule.
On the days you have designated for muscle growth exercises, you must ensure that you eat well. You will need to consume more calories than normal throughout the day, with a push in the hour prior to your workout. This does not mean that you should overeat on workout days, but you should eat more than you do on days that you aren't in the gym.
Don't work out for longer than an hour. If you work out for longer than an hour, your body will start producing large amounts of cortisol, an unhealthy stress hormone. Cortisol may block testosterone and thwart your muscle-building efforts. You can avoid this by keeping your workouts under 60 minutes in length, ensuring you get the most from your regimen.
Several people mistakenly increase protein intake when building muscle mass. If you are consuming more protein and calories than you are using, then you will gain fat instead of muscle. Up your protein intake over time, 100-200 calories every three to four days, to ensure your body can keep up.
Good hydration is critical to bodybuilding success. If you're not drinking enough water, you could injure your muscles or yourself. Hydration also plays a key role in maintaining and building muscle, so it's crucial to drink plenty of fluids.
Your caloric intake has to be high enough. You can find a number of body mass indexes online to help you figure the amount of calories you need to consume to reach your target weight. By making use of this kind of calculator, you can quickly determine what adjustments need to be made to your daily diet for desired results to be obtained.
A good muscle development program should prioritize strength above all else. In practice, this translates to being able to handle heavier weights over the course of time. So, if you are a beginner, every couple of workouts should see you lifting approximately 5% more weight. If you feel you are not progressing enough, find out what is wrong with your routines. If you're feeling weak, consider how long you rested between workouts.
Bring your diet into your overall muscle-building strategy. To build muscles, you'll need to have good protein intake as well as consuming less fat. This does not mean you should eat more food; this means you should have a more balanced diet. Consider using a protein supplement and taking vitamins for faster muscle growth.
Try your best to make the biceps curls you are doing better. Most people don't move the barbell past the point where it is parallel to your body, thereby not getting the full results of the exercise. This upper portion is the most powerful and effective part of bicep curls. Seated barbell curls will ensure that you fix this problem.
Make your goals reasonable when trying to build muscle. Hundreds of workouts will be required to achieve good results. Trying to use stimulants and steroids can harm the body, and lead to very bad health problems.
Mix up the grip that you use. To give your lift more strength, try a mixed or a staged grip with your deadlifts and your rack pulls. This sort of grip assists you in twisting the bar in one direction, so your underhand grip starts twisting the bar in the opposite direction. This method will prevent the bar from rotating in your hands.
It is imperative that you eat well while trying to build up your muscle. Your body requires a variety of vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients to build new muscle after you work out. Research has shown that one of the reasons protein drinks work well when consumed after a workout is that they help rebuild muscle fibers.
Remember that gaining muscle isn't just about dedication or going to the gym on a regular basis. You need to have the correct approach to achieve results. Follow the tips you have read to get the best from your weight training program.
A Quick Overview Of Central Factors For Muscle Building
Try to eat between 20 and 30 grams of protein during each meal. This will help you eat enough protein every day to build your muscles. Spreading protein out helps you to achieve your protein needs. Spread your protein intake throughout your day for optimum energy.
