Acknowledging that upwards of eighty-thousand individuals in the United States alone find themselves remanded to solitary confinement on any given day, this decade-old participatory project—via Things Magazine—takes solicitations for open sky visions and images from the incarcerated and attempts to pair them with volunteer arts and photographers to deliver. In addition to sending the composition to prison where it can decorate the bare walls of the isolated, the range of requests conflated with the attributed catalogue of memories and hope paint an incredibly honest and exposed portrait of the imprisoned.

A trusted source of Asia-Pacific commercial aviation news and analysis
Industry Insight Special Report
What a passenger must have — now
What do airline passengers expect when they embark on their airline journeys? Simple. They dream of hassle-free travel from their departure airport to the flight and onto their destination. Along the way they demand their experiences at 35,000 feet mirror their lives on the ground.
We take WiFi availability for granted on the ground. In the air, some airlines offer it. Many do not - and they are penny pinching to their detriment. Survey upon survey reveals WiFi on board is critical to attracting and retaining customers. Read More »
Global mobile communications provider, Inmarsat Aviation, recently reported demand for WiFi service on flights was so critical to a passenger's flying experience that they were prepared to sacrifice alcoholic drinks and meals in exchange for guaranteed WiFi service to their seat.
More than three quarters of those polled (78%) in a global Inflight Connectivity Survey said Wi-Fi is "fundamental" to daily life and more than half (55%) of respondents said the service was crucial to their travel experience.
Premium passengers, parents and younger passengers are among those most likely to use inflight Wi-Fi service. "Whether it's used for sending that important work email, entertaining the children or connecting with fellow passengers, staying online is a crucial part of the inflight experience for today's airline passengers," said Inmarsat Aviation president, Philip Balaam.
Demand for inflight WiFi outstrips supply. Passengers can send emails, search the Internet and more on some flights, but access is "spotty" from airline to airline. Less than half of global passengers (45%) have travelled on flights offering the service, the Inmarsat survey found.
Inmarsat said the survey led it to conclude that inflight WiFi is a key driver in developing airline customer satisfaction and loyalty. More than two-thirds of all passengers (67%) are more likely to rebook with an airline if quality inflight Wi-Fi is available. The breakdown is 83% for business travellers and 81% for passengers travelling with children.
"In the digital age, consumers feel more empowered," said Sabre Airline Solutions vice president and general manager Asia-Pacific, Dasha Kuksenko. "With the advent of mobile devices, consumers can accomplish tasks with just a few taps and are increasingly expecting more from the brands with which they interact.
"Studies reveal that 69% of customers are more loyal to companies that personalise their experiences, which is especially true for millennials who are known to value experiences over material goods.
"As consumer trends continue to evolve, airlines can adopt strategies to deliver next generation customer experiences by taking charge of the potential passengers from the commencement of their journeys to boarding and the flight itself."
The Asia-Pacific is forecast to handle four billion passengers, more than half of the world's passenger traffic, by 2036. "Smart use of technology can help manage the challenges of rising passenger numbers, limited infrastructure and increased complexity, said digital analytics and solutions provider, SITA.
"Biometrics is becoming more commonplace at airports worldwide. SITA is working with around 40 governments to providing border management solutions. We also have biometric self-service solutions operating worldwide, including Australia, USA, Mexico and the Middle East," SITA said.
Seamless travel required turning traditional methods on their heads. Airlines must "unlearn" the methods that made the industry a success in the past, said IATA's FDS Transformation Director, Eric Leopold.
Speaking at IATA's recent Global Media Day, he said not all airlines will move at the same pace in the digital revolution, but they understand it cannot be avoided. Seamless shopping experiences corroborated this trend as customers expect real-time information and zero click payments as the standard for digital purchases, he said.
Enhanced processes such as automation, new distribution and payment capabilities and business model changes are "transformation horizons" that should be under consideration for carriers, he said. IATA is working on a range of initiatives, including ONE Order (ticketing processes) and ONE ID (check-in processes), to redefine the passenger experience. Both are vital components in the quest to offer a seamless journey for customers.
Airlines must look at other industries to be abreast of trends. Messaging Apps, for example, are having a huge impact on the hotel business. In terms of mobile booking rates for hotels, Asia is far ahead of the rest of the world.
China's WeChat holds 86.7% of domestic market share for messaging apps and it was only launched in 2011. KakaoTalk in South Korea dominates the local market where 99.2%, or 99 million users, are KaKaoTalk subscribers. In China, 60% of online bookings are made by smartphone. In North America it is 28% and Europe 33%.
Despite the abundance of surveys that promote Wi-Fi on board it rates as number four in passenger priorities. More important is the airline's reputation (1), free checked baggage (2) and extra leg room (3). Other key "wants" of air travellers, some of them admittedly unrealistic, are:
• No queues at check-in
• Efficient and rapid immigration processes on departure and arrival
• Seamless passage through security and standardization of security requirements across the world
• Real time baggage tracking
• Mobile connectivity with real time information from their airline about delays, gate changes and other factors that affect their journeys.
Another messaging app is LINE, with nearly 200 million active users per month in Japan, Taiwan and Thailand. It is expanding in Hong Kong and Singapore. Such high traffic sites offer huge opportunities for airlines to reach new customers.
SITA's 2018 Air Transport IT said: "Self-service continues to reduce passenger processing times at airports. Passenger processing at off-airport locations is another element in the tech-savvy airport's toolkit. By 2021, 46% plan to have off-airport services,"
Almost 90% of airports have check-in kiosks and they are forecast to be integral to the operations of all airlines by 2022. Self-service for baggage processing is becoming more common with 78% of airlines intending to put in place unassisted bag drop systems in the short to medium term.
In the next three years, 77% of airports are planning major programs or R&D in biometric ID management, with overall airport IT spend expected to reach far beyond the $10 billion of the last 12 months.
SITA boss, Barbara Dalibard, said: "As the research shows, integration causes challenges and the variety of legislative demands can be daunting for airlines and airports. To deliver a seamless passenger experience, we must all collaborate – airlines, airports, governments and industry suppliers – and use technology to automate and even eliminate tedious processes. We achieve the best results when we work together."
IATA's Head of Passenger Security, Guido Peetermans, said the global airline association's strategy is to open borders and improve passenger processing efficiency. It is encouraging countries to use data from its interactive API (Advanced Passenger Information) systems to replace traditional visas with e-Visas.
It also wants to promote automated border control (ABC) systems that read ePassports and advocates IATA's Fast Travel practices of more self-service, automation and advanced screening, self-check-in, bag drop, immigration and self-boarding.
For passengers, lots of entertainment on board is a must, particularly for long-haul journeys. Carriers in the region and Gulf airlines have well-earned reputations for providing top class IFE to their passengers, especially as their systems are continually upgraded.
An example was an Emirates Airline announcement in January that it will upgrade the Emirates mobile App to allow passengers to create their own playlists ahead of their flights and sync it to their seats after boarding. Flyers can choose the music, movies or TV shows they want to enjoy during a flight.
|Qantas passengers submit bucket lists for ultra-long flights
With Qantas "Sunrise" ultra-long haul flights from Sydney to London and New York on the drawing board for launch in 2022, the Australian carrier asked its customers for their bucket lists of services they would like available on the 22-hour journeys. They included:
* Sense of separation: virtual reality relaxation zones, audio mindfulness experiences and broader inflight entertainment
* Spaces to do stretching and gentle exercising
* Dedicated exercise zones that included exercise bikes and rowers
* Refresh stations that offered cold drinks and snacks
* An inflight café that served both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, snacks and "treat" foods.

I was greatly amused by the list of things people in America believe that Bob Harris currently has posted up at Tom Tomorrow's site. There are some real crazies living amongst us. But we knew that.
However, one number actually disturbed me quite a bit. According to the numbers Harris cites, only 10% of the population believes that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
Let's think about that for a minute. That means that 90% of us think that Oswald didn't act alone. The Warren Report, however, which was the result of the official government investigation, says he did.
9 out of ten people don't believe the government's official version of the assasination of a democratically elected President. For fuck's sake, more people believe OJ's version of Nicole's murder than believe the government's version of Kennedy's.
My question is, if so many people think the official version is wrong, why is it that anyone who talks about anyone other than Oswald being involved is automatically accused of conspiracy theorizing?
I'm not going to get into the assasination right now, because it's late and I'll just end up driving myself crazy, but make no mistake- Kennedy's assasination, coming as it did during a critical point in the balancing game that was the Cold War and arguably being a major cause of the social upheaval of the late 60's, was one of the most significant events of the 20th century, with ripple effects that will continue to be felt, at least indirectly, for a long time to come.
So if none of us believe what we are told about it, why aren't more people concerned about getting the full truth? Is it fatigue? After so many years of so many different theories, different versions of evidence, and different suspects, we all just say "Fuck it" and ignore it?
I'm just as guilty of saying "fuck it" on this subject as anyone, but doesn't that strike you as extraordinarily dangerous?

Is it just me or are you so busy smiling and being super friendly when you are introduced to someone new that you never ever remember their actual name?
Its the same thing with being given directions. I am so preoccupied with being pathetically grateful that I dont actually take in anything the person is saying - left at the garage, right at the junction, one big bluuuuuuur.

Have you been charged with driving while ability impaired by drugs (DWAI) in New York? If so, I can help. I am Brooklyn DWAI-drugs defense attorney Wilson LaFaurie, and my New York law firm is dedicated to providing strong, effective and experienced advocacy to individuals charged with drunk driving, driving under the influence of drugs and other offenses. A former assistant district attorney, I have 17 years of experience in this area of law.
DWAI-Drugs Charges Versus DWAI-Alcohol Charges
Being charged with DWAI-drugs is a much more serious matter than being charged with DWAI-alcohol. A first or second DWAI-alcohol offense is only considered a traffic infraction, not an actual crime. However, a first DWAI-drugs offense is considered a misdemeanor crime and a second offense is a felony crime.
The penalties for a first DWAI-drugs conviction are the same as those for a first DWI. These can include:
- Up to one year in jail
- Mandatory suspension of your driver's license for at least six months
- Between $500 and $1,000 in fines
- Increased insurance rates
These penalties could represent a serious disruption in any person's life. Between the mandatory loss of driving privileges, the potential for jail time and the heavy financial burden brought by fines and increased insurance, many convicted of DWAI-drugs face significant challenges.
The consequences of a DWAI-drugs conviction are not limited to the judgment handed down by the court. If convicted, you could face additional losses as well. If, for example, your job requires you to drive, having a misdemeanor or felony conviction on your driving record can result in the loss of your career. It can also negatively affect your eligibility for student loans, future employment and much more.
As your attorney, I will do everything possible to help you avoid these long-term consequences. I understand the challenges you face and the effects a conviction could have on your life. When you contact my law firm, I will meet with you one-on-one to discuss your case and develop an effective defense strategy.
Former New York Prosecutor
At the beginning of my legal career, I worked as an assistant district attorney for Kings County and Brooklyn. During this time, I developed a deep understanding of the tactics used by New York prosecutors on DWI and DWAI cases. Today, I use that knowledge to provide insightful representation that anticipates the behavior of the other side.
In many cases, I am able to resolve the issue by negotiating a favorable settlement with prosecutors. If this is not possible, however, I am always prepared to go to trial to protect my client's rights and interests. No matter how challenging your case becomes, I will stand by your side throughout the entire process.
Free Consultation With an Experienced Brooklyn Heights DWAI Charge Attorney
If you or someone you know has been charged with driving while ability impaired by drugs or alcohol, schedule a free initial consultation with a skilled New York DWI/DWAI defense lawyer. Simply call The Law Offices of Wilson A. LaFaurie at (718) 215-9182, or fill out the contact form on this website. Credit cards are accepted. Hablamos Español.

Where do you get your book ideas?
My book ideas usually originate with a character, who's traits are so strong that the story builds around them. For my first book, Lockdown, I wanted to create a zombie novel with a bit of a difference, using a main character who definitely doesn't have the skills needed to survive. I always feel like the weaker, average person gets forgotten about in the apocalypse, so I wanted to explore that. Leah is a little bit of an airhead who's priorities aren't always in the right place but that makes her more real. I don't think any of us could say that we'd act correctly all the time under such stress!
With Lottie Loves, I started creating someone who was living a comfortable life but who wasn't totally sure about it...from that came her complicated past and the (sort of) love triangle that comes with it.
Do you write outline to start or just start writing?
I always have an outline, but more often than not once I start writing, the story starts to go in a different direction. Often ideas I had don't work as well on paper as they did in my mind, or the characters will take on a life of their own and drive the plot for me.
How long does it normally take to write the book before edits?
That can depend on all sorts of things. Sometimes the ideas and the inspiration flow throughout the whole plot which means the story comes together very quickly, a good example of this is my Wattpad story Living on Borrowed Time, but sometimes I get writer's block about certain aspects of the story…and actually, sometimes life and other priorities get in the way. It's always a few months at least because I like to take a break from my manuscript before I get back to it, that way I can pick up any plot holes that I might have missed before.
Are you an indie author or mainstream author?
A bit of both. The AM13 Outbreak series and Lottie Loves are with the Limitless Publishing house, as are some of the best-selling anthologies that I'm involved with, but I also have some of my books self-published.
How did you get started? Can you give people wanting to write an idea how to get started?
I got started by writing a book that was completely for myself, without any thought of getting published, so I really did write the book that I wanted to read. Then once it was done I decided to try sending the manuscript off to publishers just to see what would happen, and I was lucky enough to get a three book contract from that, kick-starting my writing career. I would say to anyone aspiring to just go for it, because you never know what will happen!
Four words I've waited my whole life to hear. Four words I was sure would change my life forever…and they did. Just not in the way I expected.
Finding out my extremely gorgeous rock star boyfriend was about to propose had the complete opposite effect I thought it would. Rather than catapult me into a future I've always wanted, it plunged me back to a past I tried to forget.
Now I can't get him out of my head. I can't help but wonder what could have been, how our lives would have ended up if he didn't leave me behind, a shattered mess.
All these memories are dangerous. They're bringing my past back to ruin my future. And worst of all, they're taking me right back to him, my childhood sweetheart, my first love…my biggest regret.
Read an excerpt:
"What am I going to do, Lotts?" he asked me, giving me a look of sheer helplessness. "How am I going to come back from this?"
"Well, I'll help you," I gasped at him seriously, growing increasingly excited about the prospect of spending even more time with Joe. Things were much better anyway, and I wanted to take that one step further. I figured if I could start tutoring Joe, I could drag him away from the idiotic 'popular crowd,' and we could go back to being the us we were when we were younger, the us I loved so much. "I'll go over everything with you, I have extensive notes from all the classes, maybe I could get you back up to where you should be…"
I trailed off because he was giving me a strange look, one that had my heart thundering loudly in my chest. As his eyes shone with an emotion I didn't quite recognise, I gulped down the massive ball of emotion that had lodged itself firmly in my throat. My ears buzzed, and my eyes swam. I had the intense sense that something monumental was about to happen…I just wasn't quite sure what it was.
"You're always there for me," he murmured thoughtfully, his gaze falling to my lips. My blood boiled inside of me as I shifted uncomfortably where I sat. I felt scrutinised, weird, and I didn't know what the hell to do. "No matter what, you're always there."
Then before I could even think, before I could grasp what the hell was happening, his lips had smashed against mine, and his hands were tangling themselves up in my hair. My instinctive reaction was to pull back, to find out what the hell was going on with Joe, but then the realisation screamed in my brain that Joe was kissing me, and that it might be the only shot I ever got.
My heart raced so quickly I feared it might burst from my chest, a fiery spark lit within me, and although it wasn't quite what I'd been picturing in my mind—it was far too desperate and needy for that—I felt alive, tingly, and I knew this was proof that we were meant to be. I knew we'd finally overstepped that mark, we'd crossed the line and there would be no coming back from that, but I was excited. I felt this was how things had meant to be all along.
As we finally pulled apart, and we gazed into one another's eyes, I thought I could see some shock there, almost as if he hadn't quite expected to do that. I didn't mind that though, I was certain I looked the same. In that way, it was really the perfect moment—in my mind, at least. It was spontaneous, unexpected, and incredibly excited.
"I…" I started to speak, to ask him the millions of questions floating through my mind, but before I could get anything out, we heard Joe's mum calling him home. Usually this wouldn't mean too much, we would hang out for a little while longer, but this time he jumped up rapidly with a regretful look in his eyes, and he raced away.
It's just because he needs to think things through, I tried to reassure myself, as I trudged slowly and sadly to my own home. He just needs to sort out his own feelings.
Out of an intense desire to recall this situation fully, now that I'd started thinking about it, and wanting to be armed with as much knowledge as possible, I raced back to my diary, and I flicked through the pages until I found the relevant one.
26th May 2007
I just kissed Joe.
I don't even know how to describe it, it was utterly the best moment of my life. All of my dreams couldn't even begin to imagine how good it was going to be. I can't even believe that I'm writing this…after all the heartache, all the wondering, it's finally happened and now we can actually be together.
This is the best thing ever!

Pietism, a renewal movement among Protestants in the 17th and 18th centuries, had many aspects. One was a deepening of personal devotion to God, as expressed, for example, in the following hymn written by Gerhard Tersteegen, who lived from 1697-1769. This English translation is by John Wesley.
God Is Here!
By Gerhard Tersteegen
Lo, God is here! Let us adore,
And own how dreadful is this place!
Let all within us feel His power
And silent bow before His face;
Who know His power, His grace who prove,
Serve Him with awe, with reverence love.
Lo, God is here! Him day and night
The united choirs of angels sing;
To Him, enthroned above all height,
Heaven's host their noblest praises bring;
Disdain not, Lord, our meaner song,
Who praise thee with a stammering tongue.
Gladly the toys of earth we leave,
Wealth, pleasure, fame, for Thee alone;
To thee our will, soul, flesh, we give –
O take, O seal them for Thine own!
Thou art the God, Thou art the Lord;
Be Tou by all Thy works adored!
Being of beings! May our praise
Thy courts with grateful fragrance fill;
Still may we stand before Thy face,
Still hear and do Thy sovereign will;
To Thee may all our thoughts arise,
Ceaseless, accepted sacrifice.
As floweres their openikng leaves display,
And glad drink in the solar fire,
So may we catch Thy every ray,
So may Thy influence us insprie;
Thou Beam of the eternal Beam,
Thou purging Fire, Thou quickening Flame.

"Chuck's humdrum drumming just seemed to drag on forever. It was so humdrum that some of his friends fell asleep."
As used above, what is the best definition of humdrum?
Humdrum (adjective) – tedious and monotonous, or dull and boring
GRE pro tips:
Humdrum originally comes from the word "hum." It's easy to remember the word if you can associate it with really boring, monotone humming (humdrum humming) or really boring, monotone drumming (humdrum drumming). In conversation, the word humdrum could be used to describe something – such as a performance, lecture, book, or show – that is boring and dull. It can also describe activities – such as work tasks, or household chores – that someone finds tedious and monotonous. If simply hearing the prospect of something bores you, then it is surely humdrum.
Example sentences:
"I had to get out of that job before the humdrum work turned me into a zombie."
"She thought the pianist was skilled, but I found his performance humdrum; he seemed only to play a variation of the same, lifeless tune."

What "people" treats does your cat love?

There are a few things that are people food that I'll let my cat have as treats (or that she steals off my plate if I'm distracted). My cat likes things like plantain, Kashi or Chex cereal, bread with a bit of butter (she look at you like you're stupid if it doesn't have butter), KFC chicken breast (the only chicken she'll eat), vanilla frozen yogart, tenderloin roast, oh and she loves sliced turkey lunchmeat. She loves grapes but not to eat, she'll play with one for hours and hours rolling it around all over the place, lol. What people foods does your cat like?

A Moment of Respite
After my previous post on the major Naxalite attack, interest in my blog grew significantly. I'd like to thank all of my new readers.
In the past few weeks, however, traffic has returned to less manic levels. Of course this is not because of anything I wrote, but rather a product of the audaciousness of the Maoist attack. Since then eastern India has been relatively quiet. The rebels have engaged in a few isolated attacks on the railways and the government has killed a few Maoist 'sympathizers'. After the hysteria, it seems that the status quo has returned- low level violence against people and property.
But has it? The Dantewada attack may have been a game changer. The Maoists demonstrated that they have the capability to engage in dramatic strikes that can garner the attention of the national and global media. Was it a tactical victory? Likely not. But, it was a strategic victory in the information war and a show of strength that can only boost the appeal of the Maoist forces. Conversely, it couldn't have been good for morale amongst the paramilitary police. The government, on the other hand, learned that simply pouring troops into the so-called "Red Corridor' is not enough. Without sufficient intelligence the CRPF personnel are little more than targets.
What does this all mean? At the risk of making an excessively decisive prediction, I think that the attack in Chhattisgarh has made the conflict with the Naxalites more of a war. The government learned that it needs to be smarter and that the Maoists are a very real threat. They will be more cautious and measured in the future. This is no longer about a group of violent malcontents running around the peripheral regions of India. It is about the Indian state facing a disciplined, tactically superior force that has demonstrated its ability to gain victories both militarily and informationally. It is a war. And war is not always a good thing. Especially if you believe, as I do, that the Naxalites are a symptom and not the cause.

This form of Naxalism, the armed struggle in which the CPI (Maoist) is engaged, can't survive outside the tribal regions of Central and Eastern India. That is why there is no chance of this war spreading to the rest of the country, except in terms of further repression and curtailment of civil liberties. On military capabilities, the causality may well run the other way. It's cohesive tribal communities like the Santals that taught the Naxals how to wage guerrilla war in the densely forested regions of India, see Edward Duyker, Tribal Guerrillas, a remarkable monograph. The immediate and paramount need is a durable ceasefire. If the government lifts its ban on the CPI (Maoist) and allows it to work as an open political party, it will also have a much stronger basis for demanding decommissioning. There's a substantial quid pro quo here. But will the CPI (Maoist) accept it? They are after all committed to 'protracted people's war' as their raison d'etre.

I sympathized with State Rep. Jack Franks when he told me that someone had put up an anti-semitic sign on Route 31 during one of his early campaigns.
Now, I learn that his supporters did dirty trick robo-calls during his 2000 against Dr. Tom Salvi.
In the Crystal Lake area, people were told that Salvi was an ally of the NRA.
In Hebron, those called received the message that Salvi was against guns.
In 2008, there was a bogus complaint against Republican opponent John O'Neill to the Illinois State Board of Elections by a Franks' supporter.
At the end of the campaign, an anonymous group called "McHenry County Committee for Qualified Candidates (MCQC)" distributed the literature you see below:
I checked with both the Illinois State Board of Elections and the McHenry County Clerk and no such entity has filed as a political action committee.
So if anyone was in trouble with the State Board of Elections, it's this anonymous "pop-up" committee.
And, now we are in 2014 with Republican Steve Reick running against Jack Franks.
Franks, with plenty of money in his campaign treasury, has apparently hired young people to knock on doors on his behalf.
I have reports from three reliable sources, two who talked to people in Johnsburg and one who had his door knocked on in Woodstock.
The one in Woodstock, Zane Seipler, even Facebooked part of the encounter.
In all three instances, a young man described Reick as a supporter of partial birth abortion, was a supporter of higher taxes and opposed term limits.
Of course, the Pro-Life Victory PAC gave $1,000 to Reick last fall.
And, Reick spoke to the group at its Pig Roast fund raiser at the end of June.
So, the young men were outright lying.
Here's what Seipler wrote on his Facebook page:

If 2018 a really crappy year for you, then perhaps 2019 could be so much better.
Maybe you started 2018 feeling hopeful, but then reality set in, and suddenly you were in that dark place again.
Overwhelmed by everything that was happening, feeling stuck.
And now it's 2019, and again, you're feeling hopeful. You're willing to try something new, but you just don't know what it is.
I know what that's like. 2018 sucked for me too. My dad passed away, my husband had a heart attack 6 weeks later, and not only were we worrying about his health, we were also worrying about finances too. And even at the end of the year, when we were starting to pick ourselves up, disaster struck again, and we spent some of Christmas Eve in a hospital.
But I KNOW 2019 is going to be better.
Because over the years I developed some habits that help me remain positive, even when it feels like the sky is falling in.
My 3 key habits are:
The Gratitude Habit
By practicing the gratitude habit each and every day, I have said thank you for all the blessings that have come into my life. I have so much to be grateful for that even when we weren't sure if Christmas would be spent at home or in a hospital, I knew we'd get through.
Research has shown that practicing the gratitude habit for just 21 days has a significant effect on your levels of happiness that last for months after.
The Meditation Habit
By taking a few minutes each day to silence the monkey mind and clear it completely, its like re-booting a computer. Everything works better, I'm more calm, more relaxed and things that used to get to me, just don't.
The Kindness Habit
By practicing the kindness habit, not just to others, but to myself too. Recognising when I start beating myself up over some little thing, and stepping in to stop it. Why do we sometimes treat the people we dislike better than ourselves?
These 3 habits were key for me getting through 2018.
This is why I wrote my Happy Habits Journal.
I knew that no matter what, my positive habits are what got me through a really crappy 2018, but I wanted to more than just get through.
In 2019 I want to positivity flourish and bloom. So I sat down and thought about all the tools I've used in the past, then put them in an order that gave the most benefits first. I now have 12 happy habits to work on.
I'm planning on being positive in 2019, and staying that way too. And my happy habits will make that possible
Take care for now
Karen x
PS My Positivity Planner is still available on Amazon, but I'm going to retire it shortly.
My Happy Habits Journal is an undated version, and it is only £9.99.
I've created a free support group, My Positive Year, on Facebook where the is a small community of people working through the habits too. When you join, you'll get:
=> a daily dose of positivity post
=> a weekly post asked if anyone would like some energy healing
=> a weekly post asking if anyone would like an angel or oracle card reading
=> a weekly post to check on you and offer help and support
I've made it as easy as I can to help you have an amazing 2019. I really hope that you make this small investment in yourself, and seek out the support that's available to you.

On Oscars night, actress/comedian Melissa McCarthy rubbed CBD oil on her feet before walking down the red carpet. Why? To ease the inevitable pain and swelling cause by tottering around in high heels.
What's all the hype about?
Why is everyone suddenly talking about – or selling – CBD oil products? Is it a new panacea for mankind's ailments and ills? Is it another celebrity-driven fad or a get-rich-quick scam? Or are its supposedly beneficial results just a placebo effect?
In a nutshell, CBD (cannabidiol) is one of at least sixty chemical compounds found in the cannabis sativa plant family, which includes both marijuana and its lowly cousin, hemp. The marijuana plant, which is still illegal on the federal law books, contains a high concentration (10-14%) of the psychoactive chemical THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) – the stuff that gets you high – whereas the hemp plant contains only a trace amount (less than .03%). Both plants contain varying amounts of CBD and the other non-psychoactive cannabinoid chemicals which have long been used to alleviate pain and inflammation.
But, until 2014, the poor-cousin hemp plant, which had previously been grown as a cash crop to produce textiles, paper, and building materials, was lumped together with its notorious cousin marijuana and therefore considered illegal.
Since then, scientists and CBD advocates have been scrambling to catch up on researching and clinically testing the potential medicinal benefits of CBD oil. Many of the CBD product claims now are based on anecdotal testimony, animal studies, and clinical studies conducted in more marijuana-friendly countries like Israel. So, caveat emptor – do some of your own research, talk to your doctor, and buy from reputable CBD oil vendors.
What is CBD?
Marijuana is one of the oldest medicinal plants in recorded history. It was used to relieve pain, cramps, and anxiety in India and China more than 3,000 years ago. Fast-forward to the 21st century, where the CBD market is projected to exceed $1 billion by 2020.
All of the cannabinoids interact with the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS), triggering specific physiological results – and of all the cannabinoids, only THC is psychoactive. However, mounting research indicates that CBD may have significant anti-anxiety, anti-convulsive, anti-nausea, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor properties – and that is why it is so highly valued for its medicinal properties.
CBD is extracted from either the marijuana plant or the hemp plant using either a solvent like alcohol or CO2 gas, then diluted in hemp or coconut oil. Some CBD product formulas incorporate the full spectrum of all 60-plus cannabinoids extracted from the plant, while others isolate just the cannabidiol. It is believed that a full-spectrum CO2-extracted CBD product is more effective than an isolated, solvent-extracted CBD product.
But the human body doesn't distinguish between CBD molecules derived from marijuana or CBD molecules derived from hemp, so if you're uneasy about walking into a state-licensed recreational marijuana dispensary, find the nearest CBD shop, smoke shop, or health food store nearest you that sells hemp-derived CBD products.
Is CBD legal?
Because of the confusing legal landscape regarding marijuana-derived products, consumer interest in hemp-derived CBD products has mushroomed in the past few years, to the point where "CBD products sold here!" signs are sprouting up in gas stations and convenience stores nationwide. Likewise, online purchases of hemp CBD products have skyrocketed, and are technically legal.
Under federal law, the cannabis sativa plant is illegal, although those laws aren't usually enforced in states which have legalized medical and/or recreational use of marijuana. However, after decades of being prohibited, industrial hemp is now legal to grow in the US again, and therefore CBD derived from industrial hemp is legal to ship, even to states which have not legalized medical marijuana. It's a typically murky bureaucratic issue, but as more and more clinical studies demonstrate the effectiveness (or not) of CBD in treating diseases like glaucoma, drug addiction, arthritis, or multiple sclerosis, federal laws will eventually be updated to meet the new science.
How does CBD "work"?
Scientists only recently discovered a vast network of cannabinoid receptors (the endocannabinoid system) throughout our bodies, particularly in the brain and nervous system, and are now researching its functions in regulating health and disease. Interestingly, there are more ECS receptors in the brain than there are receptors for opioids.
CBD activates serotonin production, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood and social behavior, which helps with anxiety, addiction, sleep and appetite disorders. It also moderates pain and inflammation, which impacts a range of ailments from acne to fibromyalgia. In a recent report of the National Institute of Health, cannabinoids hold promise for new therapeutic treatments for a wide range of illnesses and conditions, from arthritis to PTSD, cardiovascular disease, spinal cord injuries, chronic pain, and even osteoporosis.
One of the most studied benefits of CBD therapy has been its ability to treat neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease and possibly even Alzheimer's disease. Other studies indicate that CBD may provide a natural treatment for high blood pressure and reduce the inflammation associated with heart disease because of its powerful anti-oxidant and stress-reducing properties. Likewise, animal studies show that CBD reduced the incidence of diabetes and significantly reduced inflammation.
More testing and clinical trials are obviously needed – some studies have shown that CBD may have anti-cancer properties, causing cell death in cancer cells and inhibiting the spread of cancer cells. Additionally, CBD has beneficial effects on chemotherapy-caused side effects like nausea and vomiting.
Is CBD safe?
Ongoing studies have shown that CBD is well-tolerated by most people and there are only a few side effects from using CBD products – mild fatigue, appetite changes, diarrhea. But it may interact with certain prescription medications, so it's important that you talk with your doctor before you try it.
Most CBD products, like vitamin supplements, are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), so it's important that you research the brand and origin of any product. Despite the slowness of clinical studies, the FDA has recently approved a CBD drug for certain forms of epilepsy, and the European community has approved another CBD-derived product for treating multiple sclerosis.
CBD products that are produced organically here in the US are considered safer than those imported from overseas. And, while you can buy CBD products online, you're better off going to either a state-licensed medical marijuana dispensary, a reputable health food store, or a local shop that specializes in CBD products, where you can speak with trained personnel who know about the testing results for purity and potency of individual brands.
How do you use CBD products?
The range of CBD products is amazing – everything from lip balms, vape cartridges, edibles, bath salts, lotions, spray oils, tinctures, and even pet products. Each have a different rate of "bioavailability," which means whether the CBD is absorbed quickly or slowly. Tinctures of CBD, applied under the tongue using an eyedropper, along with oral concentrates and vapes, have the highest bioavailabilty. Topical products applied to the skin, like salves, lotions, oils, balms and creams, are moderately fast-acting, while sprays, edibles, and capsules take the longest to have the desired effect.
CBD oil tinctures are the most popular products – they're easy to use, and you know exactly the concentration of CBD you're ingesting. CBD oil topicals are applied directly to a painful or inflamed part of the body, and are frequently mixed with other natural products like arnica or aloe gel. CBD edibles and capsules taken as a daily supplement are easy to use and portable.
You should consult with your healthcare provider before using any CBD product, and speak with a reputable CBD product vendor about which product and dosage would best suit your goals. Starting at a low daily dose of CBD oil is recommended until you can gauge your body's response.
So, if you think it might ease your aches and pains, check it out – American-grown, organic, full-spectrum, CO2-extracted hemp (or marijuana)-derived CBD oil.

Raheem Sterling is the cover star of August's edition of GQ and a sneak peak reveals the Manchester City winger wearing enormous black wings.
The striking image shows Sterling with a chain around his neck, shirtless and standing with his legs wide apart.
Feathered wings unfurl behind him and the 24-year-old is also kitted out in jeans and combat boots.
Raheem Sterling features as the cover star of GQ's August edition wearing black angel wings
In another image, the England international has a fur-lined trench coat draped from his shoulders as he glares into the camera lens.
The words 'Guardian Angel' accompany Sterling's picture on the front cover and in an interview for the magazine, which is available from Friday, he opened up on a variety of topics.
Sterling grew up in Jamaica and his absent father was murdered when he was two-years-old. Three years later the youngster moved to London.
He told GQ: 'Sometimes it's tough, but everything happens for a reason.
'Now, having my own kids, I make sure I give them that love from the father figure that I didn't have. And I think that's probably helped me feel better as well.
The Manchester City and England star opened up in an interview on a number of topics
'At first it was tough. You know, school was different. I kind of go away with more in school here, but when I was in Jamaica it was zero tolerance. Belts.
Premier League title:

'I think the government over there has brought that down now, but there were times it was brutal.'
Sterling has developed into one of Europe's most lethal attacking players and his game took another leap forward last season under Pep Guardiola as City won the domestic treble.
Speaking about their relationship and his boss' tough love approach to coaching, he expressed: 'He has challenged me, never let me be comfortable. Every year he has bought a new winger.
'So for me it's like, 'Cool. OK. I've done OK.' And now, the last season, he's just got another one.
Sterling was also kitted out in a fur-lined trenchcoat that was draped over his shoulders
'He's demanding, but it's good. It makes you want to do better and – I don't know how to explain this – makes you want to prove to him and show him every time you go on the field you're playing for your position in his team, because of the numbers we have and the quality we have as well.'
Having played 51 games over the course of last season, scoring 25 goals along the way, there is no doubting Sterling's importance to the English champions.
He is a popular figure in the dressing room and won plenty of fans in the last 12 months for leading the fight against persistent racism blighting football.
Interestingly, Sterling confesses that he does not share many close friendships with team-mates at City and prefers to hang around with those outside the game's insulating bubble.
The 24-year-old has flourished under the guidance of Pep Guardiola over the past two years
Sterling is currently enjoying some time off before he returns to pre-season this month
When asked how many close friends he has at the club, he said: 'To be honest, probably three or four. And I don't think it's stay in contact as in seeing them every summer of something.
Appearances: 51
Goals: 25
Assists: 15
'It's probably once in a while: 'How are you doing?' It's hard to get close with your teammates….
'We all do the same thing and I like to be around my friends that are normal guys. The one thing I can't take is the ego. I like people that are just chilled. I'm not saying every player is, but everyone has their little diva moment.'
With plenty of years left in him, the diminutive winger is likely to add to his already healthy trophy haul and has shown a burning desire for success since leaving the QPR academy for Liverpool and then pushing for a move from Anfield in 2015.
The England international has reached new heights for club and country in the last 12 months
'When I got into Liverpool I said if I haven't won the Premier League by the time I'm 21 I need to look at my options and see what I'm doing there,' he added.
'I put that into place from a young age. And I came to City and won my first Premier League. It's just good to know what I've set out to do – what we've set out as a team to do – is going as planned.'
Sterling is currently enjoying a hard earned break before pre-season begins again later this month.

In our current society where the economy is undergoing increasing globalization, under the concept of cultural exchange, we must foster human resources capable of demonstrating leadership, both in Japan and globally. It is universities that are at the vanguard of this human resource development, and indeed it is universities that provide the infrastructure for such development.
The Tokyo University of Science, with its history of over 130 years, is a university which concentrates on the fields of science, engineering and management, equipped with a solid foundation upon which Japan can once again spearhead global competition. We wish to build on those foundations to send out into broader society graduates with additional skills in management and business who are capable of responding to global competition. In our quest to become a global science and engineering university, we must promote innovation in our two core functions of education and research while at the same time pursuing how to enhance the university's quality.
We will deliver our promise to the future by returning to our traditional merit-based principles.
Kazuo Motoyama
Chairperson of the Board of Directors

The first reason – these two beautiful little girls who may one day be mothers. I want them to grow up understanding their body and the capabilities it holds. To not be ashamed of the functions of their healthy female body. For them to not be ashamed of or embarrassed by someone wrongly objectifying their breasts. I want them to know the story of their birth and the births of other babies – other people. I believe they will see it as miraculous as I do. It is my dream that when they come of childbearing age that maternal health in this country will have moved forward to being able to combine sound science, medical safety, and the support of our birthing body's natural process. By showing my daughter the sanctity of birth, and the importance of loving our community's pregnant mommies, I hope they will grow up with a positive image of their bodies whether or not they themselves desire to be mothers.
The second reason is these precious moments. Moments that occur only once. This mother birthed this child only once. The word "doula" is Greek in origin and means female servant. Every birthing woman deserves to be served. I believe if the woman so desires it she deserves an experienced woman to be there for her – just for her as she lovingly works to birth her baby. Through being a Lamaze childbirth educator I share with women information that I discovered while searching out this type of support for my own births. I have the opportunity to use this information again and again in all hopes of making the paths that the women with whom I share it will walk a little less rocky.
Not to mention, I absolutely adore newborns. Seeing a child born into this world is like nothing else I have ever experienced both as the birthing woman and as a mother's childbirth educator and doula. It tops the list of great things to witness in life. Those moments when families are born and added too are arguably the most important days in our lives. Everytime a woman attends my classes or asks that I be her doula, I take it with sincerity. She has included me in this journey she is taking and it is a priviledge to me. I will do my utmost to treat her and her family with respect and help them to find the information they are looking for or need to see. I do all I can to help her see through to the end of her idea of birthing this child, whether it goes as she had wished, or whether there had to be compromises. To me, it is some of the most important work there is to do in this world.
The third reason is for me. I desperately needed a dedicated childbirth educator and doula present in my life when I birthed my first born. I did all I could to inform myself. I did all I knew to do. As I have made that journey, and learned from my experience, I needed to use it in a positive way. I needed to take it back. I did not walk that road for naught. I got a gorgeous, happy daughter from it, and if I can use it to help another woman see the act of the birth of her child as a positive moment in her life then it makes that path I took doubly worthwhile.
There is so much I hope to have the opportunity to do with Birth True. I have some dreams. But, whether a class be filled with mothers/families, or I'm sitting with one couple, it is each individual mother, her loved ones, and her child, that makes this work fulfilling. Each individual story coming together from moment to moment means so much to me. I am surely blessed to be a part of them. Thank you! 🙂

Everyone wants to look amazing, young or old. Dressing nice can get you a great date, or help you to get that interview you need. There may be some 'rules' that are always in play; however, new ideas are always cropping up. Read on to learn more.
The purse you carry should complement any other bags you plan to carry. What this entails is that the purse should go with a briefcase if you'll be using them at the same time. You should only ever have a maximum of two bags on you at the same time.
Don't buy clothes just because they're on sale. Remember, no dress or other clothing item out there is ever worth purchasing unless it fits your men's fashion sense perfectly and accentuates your body. It will be ignored as it takes up space in your closet.
Don't keep a beauty supply case as big as a suitcase. Pick products in some seasonally appropriate colors that you like. Consider your needs for day and evening applications. Makeup can go bad if it's opened, just like other products. Bacteria can build on it, too.
Don't seek perfection, as far as men's fashion goes. No one is perfect. By attempting to look perfect, you can diminish the effect and appear to be trying overly hard. You will often see looks that celebrities wear, which include some sort of "flaw" that is strategically worn to accent the look.
Whenever you travel, carry along easy to coordinate, neutral colored items you can quickly mix and match. You don't need to fret about clashing colors and you can put together different looks with the few pieces you have. Scarves and other accessories can further enhance the look you create.
It is a fallacy that you cannot wear white clothing after Labor Day. You can and should wear clothing of all different colors. If white is your best color, then wear it throughout the year. No one is going to say anything to you about it.
Beware of off sizing. You should always try on an item of clothing before buying it. You have to be conscious of different measurements and sizes out there today. They are different depending on the brand. If you have to buy online, look at their sizing chart. Also, make sure that you can return items that don't fit.
Men should not wear socks with shorts. Little kids do this, but if you do it, off to men's fashion jail with you! You're an adult now, so you can do better than wearing knee-high socks and shorts together.
No matter what occasion you have coming up, you will definitely want to dress well for it. It could be a hot date, a friend's wedding, or a reunion. To look your best with ease and confidence, keep in mind all the tips and tricks you read about in this article. The good news here is that it's not hard at all to always look fashionable.

The Transmission Range Sensor (also referred to as the PRNDL input an/or neutral safety switch) tells the transmission control module (TCM) an the engine control module (PCM) that the transmission is in park, reverse, neutral, drive, low, 2nd, 3rd etc. It is attached directly to the manual valve of transmission, so when the shift lever is moved from park to drive, the Transmission Range Sensor communicates this critical information to the above mentioned vehicle control module systems.
At this point we are assuming that the fuses and relays are good. You will need to locate the PCM/TCM and the power input signal circuit using your vehicle information source. Unplug the connector from the PCM/TCM, place the ignition switch in the ON position, and probe the appropriate circuit with the positive test lead of the DVOM.
The rule of U1204 code when it comes to emissions-related vehicle repair is that any modification that changes the vehicle from a certified configuration to a non-certified configuration is considered tampering: this applies to both vehicle owners and repair facilities and is, therefore, a Federal offense. Replacing a catalyst with a straight pipe is one traditional example of u1204 scp (j1850) invalid or missing data for steering column. Likewise, overriding the OBD U1204 error in system through the use of high-tech defeat devices or non-certified computer chips, for example, would also be considered tampering. The OBD system may, however, be repaired back to its original certified configuration with certified performance chips or appropriate aftermarket parts.
Difficulty Level (Easy)
Repair Time (20 Min.)
|Cost Prediction : $ 60-110
U1204 is a kind of Network Trouble Code
U-code indicates that engine communication errors and shows lost communication with engine parts.U-Codes are fairly straight forward, given all of the articles and technical publications that have been written regarding these problematic codes. In most cases, it just comes down to identifying the module that isn't communicating with the other modules on the CAN bus line for whatever reason.

Story highlights
- German lawmakers will vote on same-sex marriage this week
- Chancellor Angela Merkel said Monday she would like to see "vote of conscience" on the issue
- Germany lags behind many other countries on gay rights
(CNN)German lawmakers will decide Friday whether to legalize same-sex marriage, according to CNN affiliate NTV. The snap vote comes after Chancellor Angela Merkel said Monday that she would like to see parliament move towards a "vote of conscience" on the issue.
Following Merkel's comments, German politicians writing on Twitter called for a vote to be held as soon as possible. Martin Schulz, leader of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) -- the second largest party in parliament -- called for parliament not to wait until after the federal election in September. "We will push through marriage equality in Germany," he tweeted. "This week."
The vote is likely to pass with strong support from other German parties and from some lawmakers within Merkel's CDU. Volker Kauder, leader of the parliamentary group of the ruling CDU faction, called Tuesday for CDU members voting for and against the law to show respect for each other's position, according to NTV. But he also warned that such a sudden vote could lead to a "hasty decision."
Merkel's comments on Monday represent a shift for the German leader and her conservative party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), which has opposed same-sex marriage to keep in line with "traditional" family values.
The Chancellor made the comments in response to a question Monday evening at an event in Berlin hosted by women's magazine Brigitte. Asked by a gay man in the audience whether he would be able to refer to his partner as "my husband," Merkel acknowledged the widespread support for gay marriage among German voters -- who will vote soon in federal elections -- and suggested a free vote on same-sex marriage could be held among members of parliament.

SAN DIEGO, October 12, 2015 – This season's "Switch Up" was the most successful so far on "Dancing With The Stars." Nearly every competitor improved his or her scores from last week, and several made significant gains in their performance skills and dancing technique. Yes, even Paula Deen.
There was no elimination this week, so the elimination after next week's show will use two weeks of judges' scores and fan votes.
The show's first married couple battled each other for the top of the leaderboard, and it took the show's first perfect score to do it from Alexa PenaVega, dancing a hot Tango with Derek Hough. Often the additional of troupe dancers is a distraction, but it worked well this time. It was the first perfect score of 40 from the four judges including Maks Chmerkovskiy as a guest judge. It is also the first perfect score ever given to a couple durign Switch-Up Week.
Carlos PenaVega benefitted from working with Lindsay Arnold, dancing a Quickstep with speed, precision, and energy. He seemed to be having a great time, and he was even happier when the judges rewarded the routine with 39 points. Only Maks held out with
Bindi Irwin's fans were concerned about her pairing with Val Chmerkovskiy but they had nothing to worry about. Their Cha Cha Cha was enrgetic, sharp, and fun to watch. Dressed in bright yellow, it was nice to see such a sunny routine from Bindi after her emotional tribute to her father last week. The dance received 37 points.
Andy Grammer had a great week with new partner Sharna Burgess, and we had a great time watching their Argentine Tango. It was smoking hot, and everyone could feel the heat. It received 36 points due to a few footwork problems, which did not detract from the routine.
Nick Carter and Witney Carson put a lot of power behind their Paso Doble, perhaps a little too much as Nick's posture wasn't quite up to par. But Nick gives it all in his performance, and it was still good enough for 36 points.
Hayes Riley had a breakthrough last week with his wonderful Contemporary dance, but he didn't quite rise to that level with a charming but slightly frantic Viennese Waltz with Allison Holker. He looked every bit the Prince Charming and his fans will help him out this week. Hayes and Allison scored 30 points.
Tamar Braxton drew the Samba with Louie Van Amstel. Van Amstel pushed Tamar, perhaps because it was his one real chance to shine with a talented star. But it proved a little too much with the fast rhythms and there were some balance issues. Tamar is a good performer and it helped save her. The pair received 29 points.
Alek Skarlatos warmed right up to his Rumba due to some smokin' hot chemistry with new partner Emma Slater. The Rumba is difficult especially for the male stars, but he did well enough to receive 29 points – and even better, a date with Emma. Stay tuned, this switch up partnership is far from finished.
Mark Ballas drew a tough assignment, a Jive with Paula Deen. He put together a clever routine, simple enough that Paula was able to perform all of the choreography successful. The dance had a lot of sass and it was a good performance, but it was too slow and flat footed overall. The pair received Paula's highest score of 26 points.
Next week singer Olivia Newton-John will be a guest judge. The stars will be back with their regular professional partners, dancing to "Famous Dances," iconic routines from films, TV, and video. "Dirty Dancing" and Britney Spears got mentions. How about a little "Saturday Night Fever" – and surely something from "Grease" has got to be in the works. What routines would you like to see? Tell us in the comments!
Week 5 Results (Scores left to right are Carrie Ann, Julianne, Maks, and Bruno)
Alexa PenaVega and Derek Hough (Mark Ballas): Tango, 10-10-10-10 = 40 points
Carlos PenaVega and Lindsay Arnold (Witney Carson): Quickstep, 10-10-9-10 = 39 points

England Tour: Varun's brace inspires Indian colts to 3-0 rout of Hampstead & Westminster
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
Marlow, July 27 (ANI): Varun Kumar produced a scintillating performance as he scored twice to help the Indian hockey junior men's team beat Hampstead & Westminster 3-0 in their England tour encounter at the Bisham Abbey Sports Centre today. A cautious start to the game meant both teams played the ball in the midfield, with neither breaking out into the other's circle. Within the opening few exchanges though India had a chance go amiss via a counter. The opportunity galvanised the Indian team and soon they were the ones doing all the creating, using the flanks to create chances. With half time approaching Ajay Pandey scored the opener to give India the lead. In the second half, Simranjeet and Nilakanta had two quick chances denied by Hampstead & Westminster's goalkeeper, before Varun Kumar capitalized on a penalty corner to convert for a 2-0 lead. Hampstead & Westminster soon started exerting pressure on the Indian defence, controlling the ball and creating the chances. India's defence held strong though and playing on the counter and the team kept creating chances to keep the opponents on the lookout. With ten minutes left, India had a PC and a chance to put the result beyond doubt. Varun Kumar didn't miss from the spot. India held on strong in the final minutes, defending well to ensure that not only would they win by a good margin, but they would also gather their first clean sheet of the tour.(ANI)
