My original plans for this weekend were no fishing, but a couple of weeks ago I saw a plea on facebook from old school mate Paul Staite for some raffle prizes for this match. I offered him a rod I hadn't used for many a year (an original 13ft Normark Avenger) and found out there were some tickets left so I got in. Dead handy fishing local as I had to play taxi driver at midnight the night before for wifey.
I haven't fished Bitterwell for a while now, though I do try to pop over and watch the odd week day match for 30 mins when I can. This was made a float only match so pole and waggler would be all that would be required. Getting to the venue was easy (lol) and parking up I saw many unfamiliar faces and a few young ones which is good to see. A croissant was given to me and later a breakfast in a bun which I mostly ended up wearing in my beard. The pegging was sorted by Des Shipp and as I surveyed the lake I fancied being on the top bank as the carp park bank had the wind blowing into it and wouldn't be pleasant. Sadly I drew the car park bank, but I did have a bit of room. Des drew where I wanted to be but moaned it was shit and wanted to be where I was???? Panoramic piccy of the lake if you haven't seen it before
You'll note the lake looks quite calm in the photo, it stayed like that until just before the match started and then the wind just got worse and worse. For this reason I did not set up a waggler as I could not see how I could feed it properly, and a big scud waggler would not be much use with such a strong wind I thought. So it was pole only for me and rigs assembled were a wire stemmed 0.3g PB Inter with 0.10 to 20 PR412, same float but with .12 to 18 PR412, these would do for 13m swims, a 4x12 chianti for 5m on caster, and later a 0.75g PB Silvers was put up to cope with the wind.
TO start the match I cupped 3 balls of groundbait with some casters in at 13m in front, some micros at 13m 10'o'clock, and some casters and maggots at 13m but about 7m out from the bank. I started over the micro with a soft pellet but nothing happened and so single red maggot was tried and after 15 mins I had a small roach in the net. It was very hard to get a bite, I thought I might have been plagued by roach and had bulked the shot down, but I wasn't getting any bites and even with the bulk pushed up I only had the very odd roach, the gbait line was dead. About an hour in with the wind worsening another bite and this time plenty of elastic comes out and a skimmer of about 1.5lb was landed from the micro line. Skimmers are shoal fish aren't they??? Hmmm, back to very rare bites again from small roach.
It looked pretty obvious from what I could see that the venue was fishing poor, so I persevered and 45 mins after his mate another skimmer showed, though this one was hooked in the wing and pulled a bit even though it was just a 1lb fish. After this the wind got so bad that for a while I needed to use the 0.75g rig, nearly all my fish came from over the micro line during the day no matter what rig I tried. I always thought a few carp would show late so was quite happy to keep catching the odd silvers and feeding my lines even if things were very slow. As if on cue with 30 mins to go carp started to show and the three anglers to my right hooked two or three (but lost more than landed) the guy to my left who had 8oz then had a 7lb carp and alnded it just before the all, and John Andres round on the other bank landed one after the whistle. Me, I hooked no carp at all! I was quite pleased when the whistle went as we had just had a terrible storm for 30 mins with heavy rain blowing straight into the bank, and I wasn't the only one who could hardly see the float (even at 5m) it was that dark.
My silvers went 5lb 10oz, which I think was the 3rd best silver weight on the day beaten by two anglers in the match. Winner was a young lad called Keith over on the "calm" bank with 16lb+ of carp and skimmers, Des Shipp was 2nd with 15lb, and 3rd was Dan Shipp from the calm peg on the road bank with 13lb. Unfortunately for me organiser Terry Smith didn't do default payout, so Des got 2nd and the silvers, well they say money goes to money lol. We had a lovely bar-b-q after the match and that warmed me up a bit (except for my hands) and then the raffle was done and there were loads of prizes but my luck was not in today. I was though chuffed to see my avenger rod go to a junior angler, just where I hoped it would go, hope the lad gets a bend into it.
Not sure about Tuesday on the Stour, hope the rain does not feck things up for me, will be gutted if it does. I'm not fishing next Sunday so my next match will be on the 29th Dec.

We are proud to present yet another SpatialNote document, "Algorithms". This document was available throughout the process of its creation. Even when it was incomplete, it has proven useful to some people who used and shared the document.
SpatialNote blog - news about our product and company, our ideas on various topics including thinking, memory, learning, entrepreneurship, etc.
Olga finds her thrill in balancing her life roles and making time to learn new skills. She is addicted to TED videos and can't go a day without singing. Olga has been a part of this team for over five years. She is here to make sure that the company and its customers hear and understand each other correctly.
We are proud to present yet another SpatialNote document, "Algorithms". This document was available throughout the process of its creation. Even when it was incomplete, it has proven useful to some people who used and shared the document.
Greetings, spatial learners. We're happy to present yet another document in SpatialNote format. This time it's a knowledge structure about algorithms. The body of knowledge is quite substantial, so we decided to make the document publicly available while it's being worked on.
A new document in 3D format is available in SpatialNote library. This time it's an example of work in progress. In the latest "Software Design Patterns" document we've collected some info we found in open sources about software design patterns, and arranged it in 3D. If you're into software development and spatial thinking, this document is a great opportunity to work on both skills at once.
Creating good educational materials takes time. To speed up the expansion of the SpatialNote library of 3D documents, we've decided to convert some textbooks into the SpatialNote format. The books we chose come under Creative Commons licenses that allow such usage. Take a look at the latest updates to the SpatialNote library:
All three of those books come from different sources, which are abundant on the web. We chose the titles based on the preferences of the team, and on the likely preferences of the spatial learners. All books are well-written, contain current research and examples, and would be a good resource for students of corresponding disciplines, whether in linear or in 3D format.
We're happy to inform you that SpatialNote is updated with dynamic loading settings. After this major and much awaited update, SpatialNote can now work on less powerful devices and handle larger documents: the latest addition to the SpatialNote library, Principles of Macroeconomics, for example, has 207 cubes and 1330 notes, and it's not the limit to how large your SpatialNote documents can be now. The new dynamic loading settings allow to significantly minimize the performance requirements. One setting adjusts how far into the structure the cubes are pre-loaded. The other one determines how close you need to be to a cube (when viewed from the outside) to see the information on its faces.
SpatialNote is happy to present another 3D textbook: The Basic Elements of Music by Catherine Schmidt-Jones. This is our rendition of OpenStax Creative Commons Attribution License textbook. The book is intended for elementary school music teachers. It can be a good fit for instructors without previous training in music: all the definitions, explanations and exercises are included. The original textbook can be found here .
This book in 3D format, as converted by SpatialNote team, allows for more flexibility in terms of direction and level of detail. It's also easier to navigate and might be fun to use in class. The document can be copied and modified to include more information, like tasks, tests, videos, images, etc.
This 3D textbook takes a little while to load, so please be patient and give it a minute. Once loaded, the document works smoothly.
On a journey of mastering a new skill, you may find lots of useful resources in different formats. To keep up your motivation and aid the learning process, it's useful to compile everything worthy you find in one place.
I've stumbled upon a great YouTube channel with drawing tutorials. These videos are very helpful to begin learning to draw a human body and face. In the short run, the playlists made by the author are enough, but in the long run I'd like to add my drawings to track the progress, notes and ideas, questions, some theory, maybe some excerpts from books and articles, and other videos too. And suddenly a playlist is just not enough for keeping everything neatly organized. Also, some important tips are often found in very long videos. When embedding a video in SpatialNote, you may indicate the starting point, and get to the needed part of the video right away.
The document below is the starting point for learning how to draw. It contains excellent tutorials by Proko on drawing a human body.
You're free to copy this structure into your account and expand it as you wish: add your notes, drawings, other videos, explore different techniques, etc. If you feel your modifications might be valuable for other learners, please share!
This is a brief overview of English verb tenses, structured spatially for easier understanding and memorization. It is convenient for learning and quick reference, suits for native and non-native English speakers.
You're welcome to copy this document into your SpatialNote account, make changes to it, or expand the structure further. Let us know that you think in the comments section below!
SpatialNote team is proud to announce the release of another big update. SpatialNote is now closer to what we envisioned it to be. Here's a brief summary of what's been done:
We often think that some things are the same for everyone, but when we discuss them in a group, it turns out they're not?
Here at SpatialNote we have the most interesting discussions inspired by the application we're working on. The driving force of excellent memorization with SpatialNote is the power of spatial metaphors. It seemed to me that the most simple and common example of a spatial metaphor would be the flow of time: what is behind us represents past, what is in front of us represents the future. The rest of the team disagrees. To them it's quite obvious that the past is on the left, and the future is on the right. May somebody be wrong in this case? Not really. Spatial metaphors are individual, and your own perception works to help you remember better.
The SpatialNote team is happy to announce that our 3D note-taking tool is now live in a public beta. Along with the launch of the website and the application, SpatialNote was showcased at the third annual LearnLaunch Conference Across Boundaries at Harvard Business School on January 23-24, 2015.
Approximately a year passed from the conception of the idea to the launch of the functional web-application. This year was filled with hard work, intense discussions, fun times, inspiration and enthusiasm. It's an important milestone to present SpatialNote to its potential users: educators, students, innovators, spatial thinkers, business people – virtually anyone who is interested in efficient learning and information sharing.
There is still a lot to be done, and we look forward to improving SpatialNote. Each piece of feedback that we got from the early alpha users, the participants of the conference, our friends and families, took SpatialNote one step closer to being a solution that can significantly change the way people think. We invite you to join our journey; a lot of interesting findings are on this path.

All Rise for the Special People's Court
Everything you need to know about the High Pitch v. Elephant Boy case
The stupidity you are about to hear is real.
On Wednesday morning, High Pitch Erik and Fred the Elephant Boy will stand before Judge Wendy the Slow Adult to plead their cases in... the Special People's Court. The trial follows the arrest of High Pitch, who was formally charged by police for threatening to kill Fred. Before opening arguments get underway and Wendy serves her special brand of justice, let's take a look back at everything that has happened thus far in the case of High Pitch v. Elephant Boy:
Friday, Jan. 22
- Police arrest High Pitch Erik in Queens, NY after he allegedly threatened to kill fellow Wack Packer Fred the Elephant Boy over text messages.
- Erik is booked and charged with aggravated harassment. According to Jon Leiberman, the cops who take High Pitch in are also fans of the Stern Show and only hold him for about an hour. "They actually drove High Pitch home after they processed him and let him out on his own recognizance," Leiberman tells Howard.
Saturday, Jan. 23
- News of High Pitch Erik's arrest hits TMZ.
- Fred the Elephant Boy publishes an account of the alleged threats he received from Erik on Twitter:
Monday, Jan. 25
- Howard discusses High Pitch Erik's arrest for the first time on-air. After learning that he was accused of threatening to kill Fred the Elephant Boy, Robin asks, "He's sitting in a walker - who can he really threaten?"
- Jon Leiberman alerts Howard to the latest details surrounding High Pitch's arrest, including Erik's scheduled court hearing of March 1.
- High Pitch Erik calls into the Stern Show to defend his actions. "[Elephant Boy] turned his back on me," Erik explains. "A few weeks ago, he tweeted at Stern Show and said 'let's take his disability benefits away.' That upset me so much."
- Erik owns up to threatening Fred the Elephant Boy, but insists there was no violence in his heart. "I said you're a dead motherfucker," Erik admits. "But do I really want him dead? No."
Tuesday, Jan. 26
- The conflict between High Pitch and Fred escalates on Twitter, with both Wack Packers taking to their social media accounts to share their disdain for each other.
- Howard plays audio from Joey Boots' podcast on the Stern Show in which Joey interviews High Pitch Erik and Gonzo Shitcock about Fred the Elephant Boy's accusations. During the interview, Erik requests that Gonzo contact Fred on his behalf. "It's easier to teach my cats how to use a litter box than it is to teach Erik how not to threaten people," Howard tells Robin while listening to the tape.
Wednesday, Jan. 27
- Wendy the Slow Adult will presided over High Pitch Erik v. Fred the Elephant Boy in the Special People's Court. Her ruling is final! ... Until High Pitch goes to court for real in March.

Welcome to Florida European Auto Repair & Transmission in Orlando, FL, your comprehensive European auto repair and upkeep shop. But my genuine dilemma is my transmission the dilemma started final summer exactly where after driving the automobile for about 20 to 30 min and then get into traffic the vehicle begins to hesitate when pressing on the gas I took the vehicle to the dealer w/ no aid they told me I had to bring the auto when it was happening and this issue doesn't happen all the time.
The guys at the transmission shop subsequent door to my mechanic's shop mentioned they wouldn't touch it and that we were lucky to get 100K miles out of it. In addition to the transmission dilemma, my mechanic noticed a couple of regular wear and tear problems but he did not recommend doing any repairs due to the fact he suggested we never invest one more dollar on the car.
If yours is a pc-controlled transmission that is not shifting correctly, it is usually the outcome of a laptop sending incorrect signals due to a faulty sensor, or the transmission is not reacting to the command simply because of a poor connection or defective solenoid pack If a non-personal computer controlled transmission is shifting also early or as well late, it might need an adjustment to the throttle cable.
A single of the most typical however subtle signs of required transmission repair is when the transmission slips or hesitates although driving, you press on the pedal and the engine revs up, but there's no corresponding enhance in speed or a hesitation among when you push the pedal and the automobile speeds up. This can come about especially when initial starting the auto on a colder morning for the initial time.
Automobiles with standard functioning transmissions allow for a smooth acceleration with no hesitation, however a vehicle that may be experiencing a transmission dilemma would slow down this acceleration approach and at the same time your vehicle's RPM spikes up. A jerking motion when placing the car in gear or accelerating from a stand still would be a sign of gear slippage as properly.

I began to practice allowing.
It no longer occured to me
to try to force anything.
Instead I began to find
quiet joy in being
the space
for pieces come together
and in being in
a world in constant transition
into tenderness.
I began to practice allowing.
It no longer occured to me
to try to force anything.
Instead I began to find
quiet joy in being
the space
for pieces come together
and in being in
a world in constant transition
into tenderness.
For a while
it seemed something had
gone terribly wrong.
I had lived through
much contrast and
overcome many challenges.
And yet part of me still felt unsafe
as the contrast continued.
Somehow, just like the very first time
I dared to stop and allow
all of the pieces I had been holding
a little too tightly
to fall around me,
I found the courage again
to gather up the pieces
and sink a little more deeply
into my heart —
taking one more step
into tenderness.
After a while
a gentler way through the winding
roads of this human journey
became a little clearer
as the pieces of my own
shattered heart began to appear
a little less broken
and a little more like unpolished
treasures entrusted to my care.
I was never without
connection with a deeper space
within the greater whole,
though it seemed
to dance around a bit
through different forms
and natural things —
reaching back again —
softly touching the tender,
hidden spaces I once tried
to resolve.
Words became a gentle
path back into the willingness
to feel and to be a little more
After a while, they began
to echo the silence of
my deepest heart —
winding their way through
old wounds —
soothing whatever appeared
along the way.
Again and again
I found my way back to my heart,
it was a relief
to be free of all that had
seemed like too much.
I came to recognize the feeling
of too much
as a sign I had attached
somewhere other than my heart.
Again and again,
I found my way to
the present moment
and gently reconnected
with my heart —
refocusing on each moment
as it unfolded —
regaining my trust in life
a little at a time.
It made no difference
how many times I seemed
to lose my footing.
It didn't matter how many
times I fell.
After a while,
I understood I could
always find my way again.
After a while, I realized
I was, in fact,
this space within my heart.
I came to understand I had
survived something difficult
and landed in a lower vibration —
for a while
where the sound of my soul
seemed faint.
But I could find my way
It took a little practice
learning how to soothe
all that was within.
It took a huge dose
of gentleness
to become willing to stop
and allow my heart to be
the safe place I had been
trying to find for so long.
And so I learned
to soothe frightened parts
of me
through my willingness
to face each moment
as it came,
knowing at any point
I could stop and gather words
out of emptiness
to soothe what couldn't be
reached in any other way.
I found journies of the heart
can be difficult.
It was easy to become
discouraged and a little more
difficult to feel my way forward
and through leftover debris from
early challenges
and to become willing to stand
alone with God.
Each time I felt I couldn't take
another step,
life somehow showed
just enough tenderness
to inspire one more.
After a little while,
I caught on that this
human experience was in fact
a sacred journey.
And so I began to take notes —
connecting the person
to a more expanded,
formless self —
comforting and guiding —
lighting my path
as it unfolded —
navigating through contrast —
following what felt most true —
listening and feeling my way
into my deepest heart.

Tuesdays BAGS meeting we headed to the track with 11 runners and came away with 3 winners and a couple of forecasts to boot. Savana Ophelia was our first runner of the day and beat of our own Roman Blueboy by a sh hd in a close finish. The Salacres forecast paid £14.30. The fourth race of the day saw our Salacres News knocked over at the first bend and the race be declared void as a result of her heading the wrong way down the track. Absolutely the right call by the track staff and i'm pleased to say News suffered nothing more than a bruised ego ! Our second winner of the day was Salacres Oak , a kennel favourite Oak handled this rise in class from A4 to A3 to complete his double. Salacres Zero became our third and final winner of the day , winning in the only way she knows by trapping out in front and blasting away. She held off the strong late challenge of our own Karma by 1 1/2 lengths. The Salacres forecast paid a massive £28.37.
Friday evening we landed a double. Incredible Ruby added to her impressive winning tally for us by taking the D2 sprint over 305m. Though our own Salacres Times set off in front , Rubys superior staying power saw her nab Times right on the line. The Salacres Forecast paid £10.83. Our second winner of the night came courtesey of Salacres Brent. Now an October 2010 veteran it was good to see the old lad winning again.
Just the 7 runners at Notts on Saturday although we did manage to land a treble. Salacres Dessie looked in a hopeless position going into the bend but trouble saw him skip around in front and the race was soon put to bed. He's 2yo now but as with a few of our Queen Of Rangers pups he's a little bit of a late developer and is pleasing us now after a slow start to his career. Salacres Foxy is a really striking looking dog. A fawn pup with distinctive black markings a a real bushy tail. He's got a nice touch of early pace and he won A4 at the third time of asking by a touch over 5 lengths. Foxys brother , Salacresbenidorm , completed the nights treble for us when he landed his A5 race late into the evening. He overcome early trouble to show good back straight pace and win impressively. I must say though I do think his upgrade to A3 is a little harsh. He's an October 13 pup and needs to be handled gently if we are to see him progress. Foxy and Benidorm by the way are bred by Zero Ten out of a bitch called Axle Boss. The eagle eyed amongst you will note that they are half brothers of Salacres Michael and Mist.
Also on Saturday we had Salacres Pele running up at Shawfield in the RPGTV Scottish Derby. In all honesty we really could have done with another couple of weeks preparation but this competition had been in mind for sometime so we took our chance. After trapping in front he couldn't quite maintain his position and after servere first bend jostling he lost his pitch and could never recover. We'll take a look at the calendar but there will be better to come in the months ahead.
Thanks for reading.

Heinz Hugel
"one hour"
Installation of Heinz Hugel: On a square base, 2 m x 2 m, 4 tin buckets with found pieces (each one on of the square corners), marker (wood + iron bar) (in the center of the base), 2000, Bremen (Germany)
All attentiveness had been for all that what had been surrounding them: For the plants, woods, and animals (in the water, the country and in the air), for the energies of all phenomenon of nature, such as the fire for instance; the weather, or in particular the wind. Above all, the sky is spanning itself with all its stars…
The Native Americans had built themselves their own conception of the world by an exact observation and by their intuitively feeling for sure: Like in the above, so in the below – and reversed; like in the tiny, so in the great – and reversed…
Many, many information of their immediate environment they had processed and formed to a great coherent one, to their conception of their world.
Though there had been differences in questions of detail of tribe to tribe, the great whole of the observable one yet had been their common denominator.
So it had behaved also at details to the four directions: The statements concerning it varied from tribe to tribe, but all tribes had emphasized its importance for their complete life. Therefore their particular attentiveness had been directed to them, the four directions.
To whom or what today's person give attentention? Is it still known: Attentiveness? Renate Hugel

"one hour"
Installation of Heinz Hugel from the year 2000
During the last weeks before the beginning of the symposium Heinz Hugel (in the following called H. H.) had got quite spontaneously his idea for his installation – in all details in front of his eyes! And he immediately started collecting all materials required for it. – – – His basic idea had been the following: Within the symposium-time, he had planned to go on four – each one another succeeding – days during one hour ("one hour"). The gallery "pro art" should be the starting point. He wanted to start and go one hour from there to the north, the next day to the south etc. For each direction, he had taken with him a tin bucket along. On his hourly walk he had gathered into this bucket what other people had carelessly thrown on the street or the sidewalk. And, he had found much in every direction! All the buckets had been filled well with garbage! Assembled on narrow room had been paper, signposts, plastic ribbons, rope, wire, metal, an empty beer can, wood pieces, electric cables, plastic covers and others, there.
The four tin buckets and its contents in close-up (without paving stones)
Heinz Hugel presented his installation on a square base. Exactly on the center of this square (there where the imaginary lines cross for showing the directions), he had built a marking. This consists of a wooden base which supports a steel bar. H. H. had attached a semicircular wooden plate at the upper end of this bar and had stuck various lost things at it. The starting point for the four gone ways is therefore marked: It represents the gallery as the initial point on the one hand, on the other hand the beginning of the way into all four directions. These ways lead towards the four corners of the square base plate. There, H. H. had put the tin buckets down and partly had let fall out the contents. – – – In addition, a paving-stone lies on every invisible line of the four ways still. This is an indication that H. H. had had the comfort to walk on surfaced ways for going along the distances (to the four directions). Whereas, the Indian people first had been forced to cut or beat their ways free laboriously!
Look up from the gallery (at the upper level):"one hour" – – – Installation of H. H.
On a square base, 2 m x 2 m / 2000, Bremen (Germany)
The photo above shows clearly the geometry in the order of the installation "one hour". This reflects our scientific intellect of today. – – – The American Natives had found the desired direction by watching sky and earth exactly. Their know-how gave them many clues to orientation. Their thinking had arisen by searching the ways with their body and their will connected with old and new information. This had given behavior safety and had led their thoughts to an 'overall view': A process which had got more and more subtly differentiated within generations, carried by the already mentioned symbolic intellect. And their sinuous and branched paths led them out from the chaos of their environment. – – – However, the straight line had been foreign to them… Because: it (the straight line) abstracts and creates models of thought. Those intrude on the energy processes of nature and produce new worlds. This had led to our "universe" of today. Nature had not played a role at all in this (still no too long time ago)! The installation "one hour" in this respect shows our intellect, scientifically stamped, and its other sides – symbolically in the tiny.…
To show this symbolism in the tiny, Heinz Hugel had focused his attention four times an hour to those things, which had been thrown away by other ones – therefore had left them to the street and the sight for other people: A throwing away carelessly into lack of thought.… – – – Like on a tray H. H. had presented this fact now; with that he had moved this result into the focus of consideration – a request to make thoughts to oneself about this?
My thoughts to this had inspired me to the "Prologue" which I had put in front of my interpretation. According to this prologue I can say also here: "Like in the tiny, so in the great". The collected and presented waste stands for me symbolically for all other waste in the water, on the country and in the air. Many different things crowd even in the universe meanwhile, partly with considerable extents. – – – The raised of nature once had inspired to respect great meaning connections and those of sense! The installation of Heinz Hugel may be a note to the lack of attentiveness for the small and great connections in our "modern" society of today. Interpretation: Renate Hugel

15 Fantastic Cow Themed DIY Projects
When it comes to crafting with our kids, we love finding projects that are centred around whatever theyve mostly recently learned about or developed an interest in or attachment to. We find that this makes it easier to get them enthusiastic about making things together and it also keeps their interest longer while were at it. Thats why, as weird as it sounds, weve actually been on the hunt lately for cow themed projects! Well fully admit, however, that weve found more than a few ideas within our search that actually appeal to us as well, even though were not necessarily overly interested in cows beyond how much our kids have loved them ever since we took them to a petting zoo at the local farm. Whats better than discovering new crafts for the whole family in one big search? Just in case youre as interested as we were in creating a few funny new cow themed projects, here are 15 of the best tutorials, ideas, and designs that our search unveiled!

When you were a teenager, did you ever feel that your life had no purpose? Maybe you were drifting? Did you feel the pressure of having to conform to peers to feel that you belonged? Did you have bold dreams , yet were afraid to chase them? Why was this? Did you risk failure to achieve something special? Did you allow either positive or negative friends to influence you the most? Did you have to overcome some obstacle, illness or other setback?
Mark, a talented sportsman, Brittany, revealing signs of antisocial behavior, Ollie, disengaging from school, Holly, feeling overwhelmed with life's challenges and Mia, facing the real prospect of failing, were young people I worked with over a period of time, encouraging them to strive to reach their potential.
Although these are not their real names, each one of them made significant choices and now, some years later, to the best of my knowledge, they are all achieving great things because each of them followed the overwhelming majority of the 10 Habits to Become the Best You can Be which helped them develop lives with meaning and purpose. The idea of framing a teenager's life around these 10 Habits was developed over many years of coaching and mentoring young people. These habits provide an achievable set of guidelines or targets one can chat to teenagers about.
When a young person feels unconditionally cared for, that their opinions are listened to and valued and they begin to start seeing some meaning and purpose in their lives, they are well on the way to fulfilling their potential.
10 Habits to Become the Best you can BE
These 10 Habits to Become the Best You can Be, which are unpacked in a user-friendly book for teenagers, Letter 2 a Teen – Becoming the Best I can be, will provide young people with important choices. When they have a significant adult walking alongside them – a parent, teacher, coach or volunteer adult mentor – as they choose their future pathway, more often than not you will witness significant, positive developments occurring, as well as the emergence of a more resilient person able to bounce back in challenging times.
1. Surround myself with positive friends and be a positive person of influence, becoming a great listener, respecting the viewpoints of others and a team player who prides myself on the responsible use of social media.
2. Follow a hobby or interest during the next 30 days. Listen to Music; study Art or Photography; take up reading; Dance, skateboard, try a new sport, create or develop something new …. broaden my interests; show a spirit of curiosity and inquiry.
3. Exercise at least 30 minutes every second day – at least 2.5 hours a week. Exercise is exceptionally good for my positive brain development.
4. Spend at least 10 minutes a day quietly reflecting on my life and purpose as I follow my passion/s. Get in touch with my feelings – own them.
5. Have at least nine hours of sleep every night, as sleep helps the brain consolidate memory and learning, helps my diet and also helps me to manage my stress better.
6. Join a youth, cultural or community club, so I learn how to appreciate, respect and tolerate different people and cultures.
7. Seek three adults I trust with my life (in addition to my parents), and stay in touch with them as they become my wise guides on the side, my non-judgmental Cheerleaders.
8. Give priority in my life to my school subjects, tertiary study program or work (career journey), seeking to be innovative, entrepreneurial and creative, unafraid to step out of my comfort zone; willing to learn from those who have travelled before me – read history and great novels to improve my understanding of different thinkers and cultures; develop a strong work ethic.
9. Set myself specific, measurable, intentional, limited, extending (taking me out of my comfort zone), realistic goals that I know I can achieve using short and small action steps as I chase my dreams, supported by my Cheerleaders.
10. Be myself. I am unique. I can have fun. I shall do nothing that could possibly be life-threatening, though I know it's okay to risk failure on my life journey of self-discovery and self-empowerment, as those experiences are an important part of my self-discovery and self-learning journey.
Lauren, a 10-year-old student, offers some wise words:
"Believing is a word that means thinking you can. If you fail to succeed, try, try again. Achieving is a word that means reaching your goal. But you must believe and look deep in your soul."
Get to know a teenager before you try and influence too much
When you move alongside a teenager for a season of their lives, spend time getting to know them and what they are thinking. As you do this and reveal an empathetic and non-judgmental attitude, you will discover that they will open the door of trust and allow you into their lives. This will happen in different ways and at different times, dependent on the life journey of the individual you are communicating with.
Remember that you cannot rescue or fix the life of a young person. You quietly move alongside a young person and give meaning to the phrase, the 'wise guide on the side'.
You coach and teach them how and when to be vulnerable and quietly equip them with key life skills and habits to give them a better than even chance of enjoying positive and fulfilling lives.

Kalipunan ng mga Kilusang Masa
04 November 2017
Stop the killings, Stop the killers
The Kalipunan ng mga Kilusang Masa or Kalipunan is joining the Church in tomorrow's mass/procession against extra-judicial killings (EJK). We encourage our members from labor, urban poor, farmers, women, and students to join this protest which calls for an end to killings under the administration's bloody war on drugs.
We strongly believe that despite official denials from the Palace, killing remains an unwritten official policy in the war on drugs despite the handing over of the drug campaign from PNP to PDEA. The killing machine, we presume, remain intact and may just be waiting for another round of kill orders from above. We likewise deem that the only guarantee for the killings to end is by stopping the killers. That would primarily mean a decisive, more civilized approach to the drug problem and demanding accountability from those who were involved from top to bottom, uniformed or not.
We thank the Church for keeping the bells ringing on the issue of EJK. We hope the bells also ring on other social issues, particularly those that ruin the lives of the basic sectors such as unemployment and precarious jobs, agrarian justice, housing, violence against women, mining and ecological crisis.
Kalipunan is composed of Alyansa Tigil Mina, Bagong Kamalayan, Baywatch Foundation, Coalition Against Trafficking in Women – Asia Pacific, Kilos Maralita, LILAK (Purple Action for Indigenous Women's Rights), Pambansang Kilusan ng mga Samahang Magsasaka, Partido Manggawa, Sentro ng Progresibo at Nagkakaisang Manggagawa, Union of Students for the Advancement of Democracy–Ateneo World March of Women, and Youth and Students Advancing Gender Equality

We know it's quite the battle everytime you're forced to sit in your loyal hairdresser's chair and the dreaded question comes: What would you like to do to your hair today? You begin to rack through your brain what styles are trending, which would work for your facial structure, the list goes on.
To assist you with this very important question, we've drawn up a list of ideas for hairstyles you might be looking to try.
Please see below.
The one-sided braid
Now, this hairstyle suits just about everyone ensuring that you can never go wrong. Mix it up with colours and some thread for that edgy feel.
2. The loner in the middle
Yes, I totally just made up the hairstyle name because I have no idea what it's called but, you catch my drift. This hairstyle magically became really trendy late last year with many celebrities and stars sporting the hair style from the U.S and even here in Africa. It is a perfect cover for women who have a widow's peak but it is also ideal for any face shape. Add some oomph with some beads and you're good to go. Also, just as a heads-up it looks way better when it's scanty so ensure you instruct your hairdresser to go easy on the number of braids.
3. Irregular Plaits
This is a personal favourite as it seems to suit everyone. Wear your hair with plaits that all go back or wear them with in a high up-do with these irregular plaits. They frame your face quite nicely and add some pizzazz to your whole look.
And there you have it. Send in your photos once you've tried any of these looks. You never know, we might just give you a little treat.

Metrorail spokesperson Lilian Mofokeng has confirmed the death of three people following a train crash at Mountain View Station in Pretoria on Tuesday morning.
Mofokeng says over 300 people have been taken to various hospitals across to receive medical attention.
She says full details have not yet been released as to the cause of the crash but the two trains were coming from Mabopane travelling to Pretoria and accidentally ended up on the same track.
The train that was in the front was stationary at the time of the accident when the other one came and hit it from the back.— Lilian Mofokeng, Metrorail spokesperson
Metrorail has decided to close down the Mabopane to Pretoria line until further notice
To those who are in possession of weekly and monthly tickets, there will be alternative transport in the form of buses.— Lilian Mofokeng, Metrorail spokesperson

Throughout his career, Kent always tried to help people understand the "why" for their work. That desire lead him to be a recruiter and then an HR leader. It was while leading an HR team that the competing demands of "the system" of work and his own "why" came into conflict. Frozen by the side of the road on his way to work, Kent found himself at the edge of oblivion. He reinvented himself as an Agent of Evolutionary Change. Now he works with individuals, leaders and organizations, helping them navigate the increasing speed and complexity of modern work through continued personal and professional development. And, while the depression hasn't left him, he's learned how to manage depression at work by treating every moment of joy or sadness as a workout. That workout is helping him build the muscle that keeps depression at bay.

All of our designer cabochons are personally custom cut to be high grade, but these are so beautiful and unique that even though we may have a category for that lapidary material, they deserve to be showcased as special!
Or we may only have a few designer jewelry stone cabochons available out of that lovely semi precious gemstone material and therefore they did not warrant their own category.
The semi precious stone material may be very rare and we may be looking for more of this material, or we may be in the process of cutting more cabochons out of it, or possibly we were only able to obtain a very small amount of the semi precious gemstone rough rock.
Be sure and look at the beautiful large collector cabochons too!
If you have any rare and uniquely patterned or lovely colored rough semi precious gemstone material for sale-please feel free to contact us to see if we have any interest!

All events are free and open to the public.
Formed in 2007, Northfielders for Justice in Palestine/Israel is an ecumenical group of community members who organize local events to educate and advocate for justice and peace in Palestine/Israel.
For more information about NJP, write to email@example.com.
Tuesday, October 1
NJP Book Group led by Darlene Hand
St John's Church
The discussion will be informed by current events and the book: The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappe. You do not need to have read the book to be part of the discussion.
From Amazon: "Renowned Israeli historian, Ilan Pappe's groundbreaking book revisits the formation of the State of Israel. Between 1947 and 1949, over 400 Palestinian villages were deliberately destroyed, civilians were massacred and around a million men, women, and children were epedlled from their homes.
Denied for almost six decades, had it happened today it could only have been called "ethnic cleansing". Decisively debunking the myth that the
Palestinian population left of their own accord in the course of the war, Ilan Papper offers impressive archival evidence to demonstrate that, from its very inception, a central plan in Israel's founding ideology was the forcible removal of the indigenous population. Indispensable for anyone interested in teh current crisis in the Middle East."

Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
Filmmaker and film activist Pip Chodorov offers this affectionate overview of some of the leading figures of 20th century experimental film.
Chodorov does yeoman's work, and I am very grateful to him for it, and for this film. The film's title is unfortunate and small-visioned, as is the film itself, which gets in the way, like Ismailos's, and I keep wanting to say "Down in front!" I don't mind seeing through their eyes if it is clearly framed as a personal essay, but I do not want to look over their shoulder. Worthy subject; too bad about the frame.
Director Pip Chodorov grew up amongst the most influential of experimental film gurus and this warm and reflective documentary captures both the work and the filmmakers in a satisfying way. Though this may well be a film more for the cineaste its also an interesting stepping stone to discovering the pleasures of underground and experimental film.
It more accurately could be called "A History of Anthology Film Archives," which is still great and worth documenting, but it's (obviously) not really a wide overview of experimental film. Some great interviews - Ken Jacobs and Robert Breer in particular. Wanted way more Brakhage.
A very personal and therefore kind of narrowed glance at the (American / New York) history of experimental film, but nonetheless worth watching if you are interested in this subject - and if you don't care about missing some serious background Information on cultural contexts.
Pip Chodorov is lucky, and he sure knows it since he has a personal connection with most of these authors. Like he says near the end, he only scratched the surface with this film, but i'm happy for choices he made. A must watch for anyone interested in the genre
This film has a bit of a taste of a school essay 'how I spent the summer', not sure how to explain this in better words. Maybe, because 'I' is part of the film. Maybe, because there are only those filmmakers who were somehow in the life of director of this film. But all of this is not a crime. Still nice and light look at experimental cinema.
(2.5 stars) It's very well-intentioned film. The directors all seem really into their creative process. It was interesting to see this explanation of this type of cinema. Ultimately, I was bored to tears with this doc, but that's my own personal interest in this type of film peeking through. For people who like experimental film, this would be a good behind-the-scenes look at the creative minds at work in this field.
Works as a simple history, but with little to no analysis of these films or what made them so much a departure from mainstream cinema. I appreciate it for seeing some pieces that I have not seen before. Besides that, there isn't much here that's essential viewing.

Immigration policy was front and center in North Carolina sheriff's elections this past year — and pointed to as the deciding factor in many — but races in general have become increasingly scrutinized as individuals gain a better understanding about the crucial role the law enforcement officials play in shaping county policies related to public safety and the criminal justice system.
Democracy NC has been examining campaign finance data for the 2018 sheriff candidates as part of its commitment to ensuring the democratic process is open and transparent and to help the public understand how and by whom their campaigns are funded. Researchers took a special interest in the contributions and expenditures of unopposed campaigns.
In a letter sent this week to North Carolina Board of Elections Director Karen Brinson Bell, senior researcher Sunny Frothingham identifies nine 2018 sheriffs' races with missing campaign finance data — all of which cross a $10,000 electronic reporting threshold.
"It is our understanding, per the State Board's Campaign Finance Manual, that candidates who 'show a cumulative total of more than $10,000 in contributions, loans, or expenditures during an election cycle must file electronically,'" the letter states. "Further, once a committee crosses that $10,000 threshold to file electronically, 'the reporting requirement continues until the committee certifies as inactive or closes … even if all funds have been disbursed and the campaign has ended.'"
Frothingham states in the letter that there are a range of potential explanations for why there is missing data in the nine races, but asks the State Board to promptly review its files for any missing reports and to contact the candidate committees as needed to access the data, make them available to the public and assign any penalties as appropriate.
"Whatever the cause, this information's absence prevents the public from fully understanding who has funded key office-holders in several North Carolina counties," the letter states.
The following candidates and campaigns are who Frothingham identified in the letter as having missing campaign finance reports: The Johnson for Sheriff Election Committee, for Sheriff Terry S. Johnson (R-Alamance County); the Committee to elect Steve Whisenant for Sheriff, for Sheriff Steve Whisenant (D-Burke County); the Committee to keep Tony Durden Sheriff, for Sheriff Tony Durden Jr. (D-Caswell County); the Committee to Elect Kent Winstead for Sheriff 2018, for Sheriff Kent Winstead (D-Franklin County); the Campaign Fund for Jerry W. Jones, for candidate Jerry W. Jones (R-Franklin County); the Committee to Elect Lowell Griffin, for Sheriff Lowell Stewart Griffin (R-Henderson County); the Bizzell for Sheriff Committee, for Sheriff Roger Steve Bizzell (R-Johnston County); the Tracy Carter for Sheriff Committee, for Sheriff Tracy Lynn Carter (R-Lee County); and the Committee to Re-elect Sheriff Hans Miller, for Sheriff Hans Miller (R-Onslow County).
Some of those races show contributions and expenditures that are way over $10,000 that are unaccounted for in the online reports. Examples include the Alamance County race, which reported $48,081 in contributions in the first quarter, the Henderson County race, which reported $41,888 in total contributions in the second quarter and the Johnston County race, which reported $50,463 in expenditures in the third quarter.
The most extreme example, though, is in Burke County, where $124,316 in total contributions was reported by the end of the third quarter — $94,200 of those contributions were made prior to the only report available through the State Board.
The races in Alamance and Burke counties were both unopposed in the primary and general elections in 2018. Frothingham said in a phone interview Thursday that Burke County especially raised a red flag with a "shocking" amount of money not accounted for in reports.
"That just raises a lot of questions for us on what's going on there," she said.
It also raises some questions about the State Board's resources, she added. Democracy NC did not file a formal complaint regarding the missing data, but Frothingham said they are wondering why so many gaps still exist this far after the elections. She added that the organization is happy to serve in a watchdog role, pushing for more transparency, but the missing data also shows the need for the State Board to devote more resources to investigating campaign finance.
As of Thursday, afternoon, the State Board had not formally responded to the letter.
"The State Board has received the letter, and campaign finance staff are reviewing it and will respond to the organization as quickly as possible," said spokesman Pat Gannon. "We will forward you the response as soon as it is sent to the organization."
Frothingham said she hopes Democracy NC will eventually be able to review all the campaign finance data to get a better sense of funding for sheriffs' races. Read the full letter below.

Canon EOS Resources
CANON EOS 620 QD (Quartz Date) film-based 135mm (36 x 24mm) format AF-SLR camera,
Approx. Product Cycle: 1987 ~ 1989
The EOS 620, marketed in May, 1987 - was introduced barely a few months after the debut of the Canon EOS 650 in March, 1987. Unlike the 650, the 620 was promoted as a camera with a higher technical specification; its shutter was designed to meet the needs of the mid- to top-level amateur, with the camera primarily aimed to assist both levels of photographers. Basically, it carries more technical specifications than the entry level EOS650. Its sales targets were mid-level and advanced amateur photographers but Canon did use the EOS 620 as a promotional tool to entice professional photographers at major sporting events in trying out the EOS System, an effort that went well until the 1988 Summer Olympics Games in Seoul.
At the Games, Nikon Corporation torpedoed all Canon's efforts in promoting the EOS System to the pros with the introduction of the Nikon F4 AF 35mm SLR camera. Nevertheless, the EOS 620 did its fair share of work in promoting awareness of the ultra fast focusing system of the EOS System with the professionals when it was fitted with the EF 300mm f/2.8L USM telephoto lens against the Nikon F4 fitted with the ultra-slow AF Nikkor 300mm f/2.8ED-IF lens. The EOS 620 proved to be much faster and more accurate but it lose out to the Nikon in other aspects like handling, reliability, tougher body construction and 100% viewfinder coverage.
For a few years until the availability of the Canon EOS 630 and first true professional grade Canon EOS-1 model in April and June 1989 respectively, the EOS620 remained as the sole EOS camera that had pro-cablibre features among EOS SLRs introduced between 1987 and early 1989. In comparison with EOS 650, the EOS620 has several areas where the features have been enhanced in relation to those found in the EOS 650. It has a higher maximum shutter speed of 1/4000 sec. and X sync. 1/250 sec. as compared to the EOS 650's 1/2000sec and 1/125 sec X-sync. Furthermore, the camera has even incorporated a multiple exposure function, and AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing) among its features. It also has the intelligent program AE and shift function but strangely, Canon's exclusive Depth-of-field AE mode, which was introduced in the EOS 650, has been omitted from the EOS 620. Canon reasoned that advanced amaeurs and professionals would not use this mode at all and tis was why it has been omitted from the EOS 620. The EOS 620 was replaced to years later with the EOS 630 camera. Despite its relatively short appearance (for an analog SLR), the EOS 620 does have followers in the used market for a while as it has a higher sync speed of 1/250 sec - a stop faster than what th EOS 630 has! Incidentally, the Canon EOS620 was also the first EOS camera model that employed with Prgrammed Shift Function and a integrated Auto-Bracketing Control.
As most EOS users can still recalled, those early days of the EOS was difficult, as there were many Canon faithfuls who were still trying to swallow the bitter pills of seeing Canon pulling off migration path on the FD mount system to the EOS based system, thus forcing some of them to shift to the Nikon; personally, I think that was a stupid move as those who jumped ship have forgotten one thing: Whether they go for the EOS System or Nikon AF, one thing for sure was they no longer have the FD mount system since they need to start afresh in order to go for either AF brand, so I don't see how "it is difficult to let go of the investment in FD cameras and optics" when they have no problems giving it all up to go for Nikon. The number of Canon users who gave up their FD system for Nikon was too insignificant to make any difference to Canon's domination in the analog (and also EOS Digital) AF 35mm SLR camera market.

However, over the past 17 years, events and happenings have proven that things are indeed moving in Canon's favour as the EOS System have not only dominating the market for analog 35mm SLR but also for D-SLR too. At the beginning, Nikon was seen to have the "added advantage" over Canon due to the former's decision to retain the Nikon F-mount and have backward compatibility between older manual focus Nikkors with newer AF camera bodies and vice-versa.
<<< ---Side views of three Canon EOS models, Canon 650, 620 and 630.
Now, it is the reversed for the two giants as Canon's EOS System is backward compatible with both the analog and digital EOS formats while Nikon is slowly phasing out its manual focus lenses and encouraging its users to move toward the new generation of AF Nikkor lenses and camera bodies that are NOT COMPATIBLE with the older equipment despite having retained the familiar F-mount. Nikon's latest G-type VR AF-S lenses cannot be used on any manual focus Nikon bodies including most of the previous generation of AF models like the F-801/801s, F90 and the much-hyped (discontinued) Nikon F4-series of pro cameras. Non-VR type of G-series Nikkor lenses are also not compatible with these group of Nikon bodies. The newer Nikon AF cameras like the F55, F65, F70, F75 and F80 are not able to use any of the older manual focus Nikkor lenses too. Talk about incompatibility.
Technical Highlights of EOS 620 (QD) at a glance
On the EOS System, you will find that the EOS 650, 620, 630, 700, 750, 850, 1000/1000N, 1000F/1000FN, 500/500N and EOS 10 are able to use any of the Canon EF lenses made in 1987 as well as those that are introduced today. Yes, the IS (Image Stabilizer) lenses can be used on these cameras too except that the IS function may not work properly but all exposure modes as well as AFdo work with the IS lenses when they are mounted on these discontinued EOS bodies. Anyway, for their courage and foresight vision, I still have to salute Canon's patience in promoting & instilling product knowledge of the EOS system to users back in those days, with the primary SALES point centering around the potential of the EOS' AUTOFOCUS SYSTEM and its benefits to the photographers.
Main Control System: Using a one-chip, 8-bit microprocessor channels all information during camera operation. Data processing speed is comparable to that of a 16-bit microprocessor. Each lens mounts a 4-bit microprocessor, which stores information reflecting unique lens characteristics.
Autofocus System: Fully electronic body-lens interface-autofocusing is controlled through self-contained components. Lens-integral autofocus drive system with TTL-SIR phase detection. During its launch, there were an array of 13 original EF interchangeable lenses plus an extender but subsequent EF lenses introduced at later stage can also be used. Three special lense motors. AFD and USM for focus drive and control (each lens employs only one of these). EMD for aperture drive and control. "BASIS" high -performance sensor for enhanced system sensitivity. One-touch depth-of-field check.
Exposure Control System: 6-zones evaluative metering sensor. Metering evaluation algorithm. Produces good results in difficult lighting conditions with AE control makes active use of lense information.
* Intelligent program AE with program shift function.
* Camera-shake warning.
Data Input & Display system Large, bright and clear LCD display. Uniform display panel illumination with electro-luminescence makes reading information easy in the dark.
Viewfinder: New laser-matte screen for increased viewfinder brightness.
Most people would not able to differentiate between methods deployed in the various autofocusing mechanism among the brands available, and this is why it took quite a while for the consumers to realize the superiority and distinctive advantages the EOS system has over its rivals in those days. Virtually all the SLR autofocus cameras in the market use motors for lens drive and control. But only Canon's EOS cameras use a lens-integral design - where two high precision motors are integrated into each Canon EF lens to control lens action (one for focusing, and one for aperture control). Each one provides highly accurate control within the context of the conventional cylindrical lens shape.
The biggest difference of the EOS system as compared with other body integrated AF system available during that time was the way how AF works. As for the camera, the most striking visual difference between EOS cameras and everything which had gone before from Canon was the oversized and new, three-lug bayonet mount. The new lens mount has a very large diameter (54mm) and permits the design of very fast lenses with large rear elements.
Gone are the mechanical lugs and pins used for mechanical linkage between camera and lenses for exposure control. Virtually all SLR autofocus cameras during that period used motors for lens drive and control. But only Canon uses a lens-integral design-two high precision motors are integrated into each Canon EOS lens to control lens action (one for focusing, and one for aperture control). So, Canon was the first 35mm camera manufacturer to use an entirely electronically controlled lens mount in which a motor in the lens moved the diaphragm blades.

Two basic design in the EF lenses used AF-D for general lenses and USM lenses for more expensive / larger diameter EF lenses. Both incorporating an automatic EMD diaphragm. However, some special lense such as close up lenses use a different DC-motor instead.
Basically, as you know, all the other manufacturers mount the AF motor inside the camera bodies in order to drive and control the lens. This design necessitates that one motor with one set of specifications serve the vastly differing power/torque requirements of various lenses. As a result, slow focus response with telephoto lenses makes it exceptionally difficult to achieve focus when shooting fast-moving subjects. In contrast, the EOS system matches a precision motor to the unique power requirements of each individual lens. Focusing is fast, even with telephoto lenses, and there is less variation in the speed at which individual lenses measure distances.
Note: During the initial stage, Canon used a motor called "AFD", for Arc Form Drive, a conventional small DC electric motor that is designed in an arc-shape to fit into the barrel for their cheaper EF lenses. The USM or Ultrasonic Motor lenses were found in the more expensive L-series professional grade lenses, USM driven lenses can focus faster than those with AFD, inside the lenses, the USM mechanisms are comprised of two metal rings, one annexes to the lens barrel while another is connected to the focusing helical. It uses simple but practical theory to achieve reliable, efficient and virtually silent operation. Canon has improved the USM technologies over the years and the latest was the Micro-USM which replacing the AFD method as newer series of EF lenses are being introduced and also old lenses are redesigned with new design.

The EOS 620 has two selectable autofocus modes: "ONE SHOT", which locks focus once ranging is completed, and "AI SERVO", with which focus continuously adjusts to follow subject movement-even in the continuous frame advance mode. Manual focusing is also possible.
