Dream Big
When we are younger we are encouraged to dream. When I was in second grade I wanted to be a veterinarian. I would read National Geographic and encyclopedia records of animals, back when books and magazines were a standard form of media. I was studying, I was training, I was working towards my dreams, even at young age.
You see when we're young, our dreams are massive. I do not believe anyone dreams of being poor when they are born. I don't think anyone dreams of being unemployed and living in their mom's basement. We aren't born with boundaries, we learn them over time.
Our dreams could fill up an entire building.
But as we get older our surroundings start dwindling our dreams. We start rationalizing our dreams down to the size of a room. When we are young people tell us to dream, they tell us that we can accomplish anything. If we want to be an astronaut we can travel to the moon.
Then as we start getting older the support stops. People start using their own learned realism to bring down our dreams. They start saying things like "The moon is pretty far, maybe you should look into being a pilot", then "the sky is pretty high, maybe you should keep your feet on the ground, being a plumber is noble." Or in my case, "being a veterinarian requires a lot of schooling and you just aren't that smart, maybe you should look into something else".
Our dreams are killed by people who let their own dreams die. We let the jealous words of others shrink our dreams.
We let other people get in our own head and we start unconsciously rationalizing our dreams away. We dream of being rich when we are kids with the big house, dream car, and no bills… As we get older we start thinking… Big house? Who the heck is gonna clean that house, maybe I'll just get a smaller house. Dream car? That's a lot of insurance to pay, maybe I'll just stick with the mini van… No bills? Who the heck is going to send me mail then?
Don't let others get in your head. Don't let your head get in the way of your heart. Don't rationalize away what you want. I let people get in my head, and I began rationalizing my dreams away. Over time what people told me started to become correct. No, I did not like school. Yes I was an awful test taker. No, I didn't want to learn the Pythagorean theory or the underlying theme of some play written by William Shakespeare many years ago. I began dreaming smaller.
And what happened was my dreams started to shrink. Maybe I should just become a plumber. Maybe I didn't have what it took to be rich. Maybe I didn't need the big house because I hate cleaning. And I did love the rush of seeing what was in the mailbox, no bills meant no mail, no rush.
And as my dreams started to fade away, my effort began to shrink. The A student began to be a C student. An average student. And average students don't become veterinarians. I was letting other people create my destiny. I was letting small minds shape my dreams.
And small minded people can't dream big.
We are born with endless possibilities. With no boundaries, no constraints. It's the people we are surrounded by that we let shrink our dreams. That we let put boundaries on us. Who make our dreams so small that we can put them in a box and carry them with us.
Adult dreamers, successful adults, adults that have made it aren't the ones constraining our dreams. Why? Because they know anything is possible. They've shot for the moon and they've made it.
We're letting the people who abandoned their own dreams talk us into abandoning our own. Because they are jealous and they don't want to see us accomplish our goals, when they didn't have what it took to accomplish theirs.
Don't let small people, crush your big dreams.
Small people can't think big, they can't dream big, they can't see big. If you're 5'0 you'll never reach up and touch 8′ without the help of others. And small people aren't going to help you, they are too small.
We used to dream big. Our leaders used to dream big. Dreaming big was encouraged. In 1962, president John F Kennedy said "We choose to go to the moon. Not because it is easy, but because it is hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win."
On that day in 1962, moon landings were for the movies. There wasn't any focus, no dream, no idea how to accomplish the goal. But one dreamer put it all on the line and said this is what I want, and I will accomplish my goal. And in seven years, we landed on the moon.
Today, more than ever, we need big dreamers. We need to encourage dreamers. We need people willing to stand up and say "I will cure cancer." "I will stop world hunger." "I will make world peace happen." We need the world dreamers, the big dreamers, and we need to come together to accomplish those big dreams. Not put them down, but build them up and contribute to the goal.
We're 24 days away from a new year. As we get older time seems to move quicker. And before we know it, 2019 will be here, then we blink and 2020 is knocking at our door. I challenge you to dream big. Write your goals down and the read them every day, multiple times if you have to. Focus on those dreams, know how you are going to reach your goals, and start taking steps in 2019 to reach the moon.
Don't let the little people in your life talk you out of what you want. And don't be responsible for squashing other people's dreams.
Support one another with love and friendship. Build each other up, share in each other's successes, love living your life, and live loving others. You have what it takes, now go get what you want.

Thema: Bikes to help London's refugees get around.
Beschreibung: Transport in London can be expensive. This is especially true for a refugee going through the asylum process. Having fled persecution and atrocity in their country of origin, they are forced to live on a mere £36 a week in benefits, and prevented from finding employment. London is a city that is rich in opportunities. A bike can help these people reach the many resources that London has to offer: charities that can feed them, lawyers that can aid their application process, home office appointments, healthcare, education and much more. If they are lucky enough to receive status, a bike can help them find employment.

Pig Forced to Bungee Jump in China Deemed Act of 'Torture'
Warning: The video above may be upsetting to viewers.
An amusement park in China came under fire on social media this weekend for forcing a pig off a 230 foot-high bungee tower.
Feral Pigs Harm Wildlife and Biodiversity as Well as Crops
They go by many names — pigs, hogs, swine, razorbacks — but whatever you call them, feral pigs (Sus scrofa) are one of the most damaging invasive species in North America. They cause millions of dollars in crop damage yearly and harbor dozens of pathogens that threaten humans and pets, as well as meat production systems.

Undercover Investigations Will Be Legal Again at Iowa Animal Farms
On Thursday the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa struck down the Iowa Ag-Gag law, holding that the ban on undercover investigations at factory farms and slaughterhouses violates the First Amendment. In 2017, a coalition of animal, environmental and community advocacy groups, including Center for Food Safety, challenged the law's constitutionality. Federal courts have similarly struck down Ag-Gag laws in Idaho and Utah as unconstitutional.

How Can You Talk to Kids About Factory Farming? These Books Can Help.
By Reynard Loki

Here's What Happened When I Tried to Rescue Piglets From a Factory Farm
By Jenny McQueen
For a city girl, I've had a lot of experience with pigs. I've visited with them in sanctuaries, given belly rubs (they love those), introduced little children to them, rescued and cared for young piglets, witnessed distressed, overheated/freezing/thirsty young pigs in slaughter trucks, and experienced the hellish conditions inside a pig breeding and pig growing facility.
Reading about the injustices meted out to food animals turned me into a vegan and then an animal rights activist. This was the 1990s, before I'd even met any farmed animals.
Study Reveals Disturbing Effects of GMO Feed on Pigs
Center for Food Safety
A new, peer-reviewed study has been released in the June 2013 Journal of Organic Systems detailing adverse effects of genetically engineered (GE) feed on pigs. Center for Food Safety has long advocated for more robust safety testing prior to introducing GE foods into the food supply. Currently, no GE safety testing is required in the U.S. The long-term study revealed that pigs fed a GE diet suffered higher rates of severe stomach inflammation and had on average heavier uteri. The findings were biologically and statistically significant and mirror what many farmers have been reporting for years. The study was performed over the course of five years by independent researchers in Australia and the U.S.
"This study raises serious questions about the long-term health impacts of genetically engineered foods," said Andrew Kimbrell, executive director of Center for Food Safety.
"It is grossly negligent that neither the companies nor the government have conducted these rigorous types of studies in the 15 years that GE products have been on the market. Until further long-term, independent studies are done, the public are unwittingly participating in the safety testing of these products."
According to the study's authors:
The research was conducted by collaborating investigators from two continents and published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Organic Systems. The feeding study lasted more than five months and was conducted in the US. 168 newly-weaned pigs in a commercial piggery were fed either a typical diet incorporating GM soy and corn (2), or else (in the control group) an equivalent non-GM diet.
The pigs were reared under identical housing and feeding conditions. They were slaughtered over 5 months later, at their usual slaughter age, after eating the diets for their entire commercial lifespan. They were then autopsied by qualified veterinarians who worked "blind"—they were not informed which pigs were fed on the GM diet and which were from the control group.
What little study has been conducted on the safety of GE foods has largely been limited to industry funded studies involving rats for only 90 days. In addition to the studies being inadequate in their rigor, the data is tightly controlled by the companies under the pretense of Confidential Business Information, limiting external review. Some independent scientists have conducted studies over the years, but much more is needed.

China's Growing Hunger for Meat Leads to Copycatting U.S. Factory Farms
Earth Policy Institute
By Janet Larsen
Half the world's pigs—more than 470 million of them—live in China, but even that may not be enough to satisfy the growing Chinese appetite for meat. While meat consumption in the U.S. has fallen more than five percent since peaking in 2007, Chinese meat consumption has leapt 18 percent, from 64 million to 78 million (metric) tons—twice as much as in the U.S. Pork is by far China's favorite protein, which helps to explain the late-May announced acquisition of U.S. meat giant Smithfield Foods Inc., the world's leading pork producer, by the Chinese company Shuanghui International, owner of China's largest meat processor. China already buys more than 60 percent of the world's soybean exports to feed to its own livestock and has been a net importer of pork for the last five years. Now the move for Chinese companies is to purchase both foreign agricultural land and food-producing companies outright.
People in China ate 53 million tons of pork in 2012—six times as much as in the U.S. On a per person basis, consumption in China first eclipsed that in the U.S. in 1997, and it has never looked back. Now the average Chinese eats 86 pounds (39 kilograms) of pig meat each year, compared with 59 pounds in the U.S. As demand rises, pork is starting to shift from household, or farm-scale production into larger factory-like operations. Overcrowding in these facilities has been blamed for pollution and the spread of disease, as well as for the recent dumping of thousands of dead pigs into a river flowing into Shanghai.
Chinese chicken production and processing have also consolidated, as sadly seen in the recent fire at a large poultry plant in northeastern China that reportedly killed at least 120 people. China's chicken intake just recently caught up with that in the U.S., with 13 million tons eaten in each country. It took China just 25 years to make the consumption leap achieved by the U.S. over a half-century.
Chicken is America's meat of choice, and U.S. individual diets are four times heavier with poultry than Chinese diets are. However, as fast-food restaurants in China multiply, chicken consumption is rising. If the Chinese ate as much chicken per person as Americans do, their flocks would need to quadruple—as would the grain and soybeans used in the feed rations.
As for beef, grazing land limitations and higher costs have made this meat far less popular in China than in the U.S., with 5.6 million tons consumed in 2012, or nine pounds per person. The average American, in stark contrast, ate 82 pounds of beef that year. Total beef consumption in both countries appears to have peaked.
The Chinese eat nearly as much mutton and goat (close to seven pounds per person annually) as they do beef, while those meats barely register in U.S. diets. New steakhouses are trying to lure affluent Chinese toward red meat, but they are unlikely to reach the masses. If the Chinese ate as much beef as Americans do today, they would need 50 million tons of it, 90 percent of current world consumption.
With the average income in China poised to reach U.S. levels as early as 2035, heavier beef consumption theoretically could become economically feasible. Ecologically, though, it may never be possible. Grasslands are unable to sustain herds much larger than the existing ones, as evidenced by the vast dust bowl forming in northern China, largely from overgrazing by sheep and goats. Thus, getting more beef would mean intensive use of feedlots. But cattle take more grain and soybean meal per pound than all other livestock and poultry. In recent years China has imported some grain, though imports still make up a small share of its total supply. China's soy production, however, has barely budged since 1995, while soy use (mostly for feed rations) has shot up fivefold. Imports have made up the difference.
Hogs put on about twice as much weight as cattle per pound of feed, and chickens grow even faster. Smithfield Foods in the U.S. has become remarkably "efficient" at fattening hogs en masse; such expertise is a big attraction for China. Yet even though the U.S. has a better reputation on food safety than China, U.S. factory farms have their problems as well in terms of the contamination of meat and the massive quantities of waste generated by large groups of animals. The widespread use of antibiotics in U.S. industrial meat production has been linked to growing bacterial resistance to antibiotic treatment. And one feed additive still used in the U.S. to help pigs gain lean weight—ractopamine—has been banned in China because of feared negative health effects. According to reporting by Reuters, Smithfield began limiting the use of ractopamine on some, but not all, of its animals last year, with an eye on the Chinese market.
Given the existing land degradation and pollution that are making it harder for China to produce more—and safer—food, it is not difficult to see why foreign acquisition of both land and food producers is becoming increasingly attractive. Yet just as the American diet has been shown to be a dangerous export—accompanied by spreading obesity, heart disease and other so-called diseases of affluence—ramping up American-style factory meat production is not without risk.

If Guardian editors are not, as we argue, guilty of the bigotry of low expectations, and do impute moral agency to Palestinians, then we'd love it if they attempted to prove us wrong by publishing an editorial on what Palestinian leaders can do to promote peace in the Middle East.
Guardian continues in its long tradition of infantilizing Palestinians
We of course are not optimistic that the Guardian will head our advice and begin viewing Palestinian choices as an important factor in analysing the conflict, in part because the ideology they're institutionally wedded to demands a narrative in which Palestinians exist solely as passive victims of Israel, the only party that matters.
Times of London omits Olmert's 2008 peace plan (rejected by Abbas) in their list of "failed peace efforts".
An article in The Times included, as a bit of historical context on the new US peace plan, a list of "Failed Peace Attempts" going back to 1919. However, the list curiously omits two historically significant peace efforts – in 1947 and 2008:
Indy falsely claims Fatah was founded by Arafat to merely 'create a Palestinian state'.
The claim by the Indy journalist that Fatah as founded to promote the creation of a Palestinian state shouldn't be seen as merely a one-off factual error, but, rather, an example of a larger media pattern of casting Palestinians as the reasonable party in the dispute by obfuscating undeniable evidence demonstrating their long history of terror, extremism, and rejectionism.
UK media ignore Abbas's howler at the UN that Palestinians 'foster a culture of peace'
If foreign journalists covering the region held Palestinian leaders to the same level of critical scrutiny that they consistently hold Israeli leaders to, the ten seconds of Abbas addressing the UN would cause nothing less than a media storm – with reports, analyses and commentaries informing readers that Abbas's claim that Palestinians "are committed to fostering a culture of peace and a rejection of violence" is simply the opposite of the truth.
Guardian cites 'leaked EU report' warning that Israel is promoting 'Jewish narrative' of Jerusalem
The suggestion in the EU report that the Jewish "narrative" is being promoted "at the expense of other religions" represents the opposite of the truth, as Israel continues to safeguard Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem, whilst Palestinian leaders continually deny Jewish history in the holy city and incite their people to view any Jewish presence on Judaism's holiest site as an intrusion onto an exclusively 'Muslim' site.
Guardian's Ian Black covers for Mahmoud Abbas's assault on historical truth.
There seems to be no limit to the lengths the Guardian will go to ignore, obfuscate or excuse Palestinian extremism, incitement or historical revisionism. Their former Middle East Editor, Ian Black, provided his take on Mahmoud Abbas's recent speech in Ramallah and characteristically airbrushed the most indefensible parts in order to maintain the narrative of a 'moderate', even "principled" Palestinian President.
UK media airbrush Abbas's anti-Jewish remarks from report on PLO conference.
The low lights of a diatribe against the world in Ramallah last night by the Palestinian "president", who today celebrated the 12th year of a 4 year term, included his characterisation of Israel as a European "colonialist project, which has nothing to do with the Jews". Thus far, among UK media outlets, only The Telegraph covered Abbas's speech. However, their article ignored his antisemitic smear.
Mahmoud Abbas's Guardian op-ed illustrates the dishonesty of the 'Palestinian narrative'
Beyond the specific lies and distortions in Abbas's Guardian op-ed lay a broader one: that Palestinians are victims who possess no moral agency and that Palestinian leadership shares no responsibility for their people's suffering. It's not merely unfair to assigned exclusive blame to Israel for every conceivable Palestinian failure, but also suggests a fundamental flaw in the Palestinian national movement.
What did the Economist erase from its picture of 'occupation'?
The Economist is currently promoting a seven-part "special report" titled "Six days of war, 50 years of occupation". The online version of the unattributed sixth installment goes under the title "The half-life on an occupied Palestine". The article, quite predictably, solely blames Israel for the occupation and suggests that Palestinians have no responsibility for the ongoing conflict
Inaccuracies and omissions in BBC News reporting on Abbas White House visit
In contrast to other media reports on the Trump-Abbas meeting, this BBC article fails to inform readers of Mahmoud Abbas' egregious claim that "we are raising our youth, our children, our grandchildren on a culture of peace".
UKMW prompts correction relating to this question: How many settlements are in the West Bank?
Whatever one's views on Israeli construction across the green line, the narrative often advanced in the UK media – of new settlements expanding at 'a record pace', eating away at 'huge swaths' of Palestinian territory and rendering a future Palestinian state nearly impossible – is, at best, extraordinarily misleading.
The most important thing you will never hear about last week`s UN resolution

UK media silent as party of 'moderate' PA president celebrates killing '11,000 Israelis'
Celebrations over the murder of Jews is common for Fatah and the Palestinian Authority – representing an extremist political culture which the British media almost always ignores.
UK media fail to challenge 42 extraordinarily deceitful words on Balfour
The rewriting of history by the Palestinian Authority is nothing new. As Palestinian Media Watch continually documents, the Palestinian denial of 3,000 years of Jewish history, and the invention of a several thousand year old Palestinian history, represents the foundation of their political ideology.
Must Jews literally be likened to Satan for media to note Palestinian antisemitism? Oh wait…
We've often argued that any news organization truly devoted to accurate coverage of the region must provide readers with background on Palestinian antisemitism – one of the major ideological factors driving the […]
British media ignore Mahmoud Abbas's antisemitic 'poisoning the wells' libel
Palestinian antisemitism is one of the more under-reported political pathologies within the region, and the failure of journalists and editors to deal honestly with the injurious impact of this enduring hatred contributes to the British public's egregious misunderstanding of both the root cause of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and the endemic backwardness and underdevelopment within Palestinian society.

Why Abbas's terror defense won't change UK media's narrative of a 'moderate' PA leader

There's got to be a surprise ending/restart in the script somewhere.. I saw it in him, it's got to be there. I saw it, I felt it, Its got to be there. he'll wake up… he'll realize… he'll fight harder than I ever did before… he'll defy all odds and climb those mountains…he'll be the cure.
he'll work to reshape this, erase this, rebuild this and it'll be better than it was before… bc isn't that what happens when a man says what he said? Feels what he felt? Sees what God had in store?
For us…
or maybe not for us…
they face me, wanting less of this and more of what's best for me. Protectorates of what you left. Glue in their hands from taking turns patching up your gift. The eyes, the stares, the thoughts, they're all looking with their arms crossed. Stepping up to the challenge, I fought, you ran. You were to me the epitome of a man. For my happy ending I couldn't care less about what others think or see. Apple of my eye, captor of my soul, you had the ability to make me feel whole …..
and also empty.
But then there'd be pressures… to prove. To be something better, that was something you weren't ready for. I called on my inner self to strengthen me. To be strong for you if I needed to be. Rock hard shell… but fragility you couldn't see…
And beneath it all lies …. hope.
Is it lies or is it hope?
You say you don't know how to grow… I say "but you must", how does a man who yearns for love not know how to trust?
Foolish perhaps or maybe that needle in the haystack. That one, the secret, the key to being who we were meant to be. The one who tests your limits as you test me.
The being who takes your soul and reshapes it, gives it back to you anew. A version of you unseen, greater than you ever knew –
you could become…. the one I hand my heart and soul to,
you rebuild me, you breathe life, you bring honor. You become the son and the father – for me. Eternity of unity. Making believers of all who doubt. Strength and resilience unmatched until we patched
…this up
…for good.
But everything will be beautiful again. When I wake up. Jill Scott lyrics play in my mind. I find my peace sometimes. And sometimes I revert – I hurt. I think about how it feels to be loved and lost. But I consider the cost, and it's life. Without risks it's worthless, it has no price but for the right one I'd share it all. Because I can't win if I don't play. And I don't play for my crown to fall.

Why Newborn Babies Need Skin to Skin Nurturing - Part 3
In part two we looked at the infant's amazing senses and critical periods of development.
In part three we continue our learning of epigenetics and the microbiome, and will explore the dependency and interrelationship of newborn infants with their mother, father, and others special to them.
The science of epigenetics and theories of attachment have much to teach us. Epigenetics is the switching on and off of genes (DNA) in response to environmental influences. Yes you read that right. Your experiences change your gene expression, and in addition, key environmental factors during critical development periods, have life long effects. As Bruce Lipton1 teaches us, it is 'nature x nurture' (gene x environment).
Our brain development is ordered and higher circuits build on lower circuits. But we need to experience critical periods for optimum brain development. These include smelling, touching, feeling, seeing, hearing, and sensing our mother.
"It matters how we are born" - the first 1000 minutes and 1000 days are critical periods.2 Bonding research reaffirms the importance of the mother as the newborn's primary caregiver.3
In regards to the microbiome, miss the window of opportunity to have colostrum in your first days of life and your gut bacteria will develop differently over your life. The work of Harman and Wakeford 4 provides increasing research of how our ancient microbiome, designed to protect us against many diseases, is degrading. This creates consequences and a significant impact on the infant's life and what he or she is able to pass on to future generations. Microbes from a vaginal birth, breast milk as our source of food, and skin to skin nurturing, provide the ideal environment for optimal functioning of the newborn baby's intestinal tract and immune system and has lifelong effects.
So what can parents and all those caring for babies do to ensure every baby feels safe and receives care that optimises their development?
Provide gentle, loving, safe care at all times - during birth and following. Loving hands, skin to skin nurturing, soft lights, quiet sounds, warm soft materials, breast feed and give mother's colostrum / breast milk. No routine procedures in this precious first hour. Newborn babies need to smell, touch, feel, hear, taste, and see their mother without interruption. Zero separation. The first hour is an alert time for most babies and critical for firing and wiring maternal infant attachment. It is a two way process not only involving wiring baby's brain but also creating neural attachment connections in their mother.
Ensure individual gentle loving care at all times. Learn your baby's cues and what they mean. A booklet 'Getting to Know Your Baby' 5. 6 provides a wealth of information on baby's organised and disorganised behaviours and what they need.
Although this article is written mostly about mothers, fathers also play a critical role in the development of their newborn. Babies need skin to skin on dad too. 2. 7 Did you know just 30 minutes of skin on skin with dad (especially in the first 24 hours) wires his dopamine levels for life. Dr Sears 3 also writes that bonding right after birth brings out sensitivity in dad and that "fathers have their own unique way of relating to babies, and babies thrive on this difference". So after mum has had a few hours skin to skin at birth, baby will love bonding with his or her daddy. Such a special time for all. Then return to mum as she needs 18 hours uninterrupted skin to skin (preferably in the first 24 post birth) to wire all her circuits, mind, body and social, as more are involved.2 For the premature infant this is even more crucial and needs to be ongoing for as long as possible.
If for any reason mum is unable to have skin to skin initially or later, dad can bond with his little one during this sensitive period. If neither are able, consider someone else who baby knows well (maybe grandma). Your baby needs a significant presence with a loved one.3
Twins (triplets) also need one another. Imagine being with someone continuously for nine months then suddenly being separated. The ideal is both twins skin to skin on mum with times together on dad. Enabling premature twins connection with one another is important. If mum, dad or significant other is not available, at least consider placing them in the same incubator. If concerned about safety, most small premature infants are monitored and observed continuously. When transported between areas or hospitals, premature twins frequently travel in the same incubator so why not put them together at other times? A beautiful moment I witnessed was when I nested one twin beside her sister in her incubator and she smiled. A precious moment.
The more premature the infant, the more they need skin to skin.2. 8 Premature babies are less able to tolerate stress and are more dependent on their mother, father and significant others. Technology and expertise in neonatal care has increased survival of premature infants however long term effects are becoming more apparent as we learn more from emotional and social outcomes.
An international study of premature infants weighing 1000 grams to 1800 grams is in its pilot stage. The IPISTOSS, 'Immediate Parent-Infant Skin-to-Skin Study' is planned to enrol 5000 babies. 4000 will have zero separation committed to and shared between 3 people - their mother and 2 others, one preferably their father. The further 1000 infants are the control group who will receive skin to skin as it is currently utilised in neonatal units. All babies receive the full neonatal care they require. Only the place of care differs - continuously on skin to skin or in an incubator / thermal cot with some skin to skin. Follow up is planned for 2 years and if the outcome is positive, it will continue for 30 years. This is a very much needed study, and I for one, thank Nils and Jill Bergman for their continuing pioneering work in this area.
So get all sensations right and individual for every baby. Mother's smell, soft sounds, soft materials, loving gentle touch, gazing into one another's eyes and breast feeding. Holding your newborn baby provides many of these, but skin to skin is the ultimate.
In Part 4 we will review how separation can impact on the infants life.

NOTI at the exhibition of the National Museum in Cracow
The NOTI brand has started cooperation with the National Museum in Krakow. The venue will host an exhibition called "The other side of things. Polish design after 1989". The aim of the show is to tell the story of Polish design understood not only in terms of market needs but also its culture-forming role. "The other side of things" reflects the condition of the society, with a focus on technological skills, marketing capacities and organizational opportunities, but above all creative sensitivity, values and aspirations. The exhibition, which will comprise six sections, is intended to showcase characteristic trends in design resulting both from economic changes and diverse attitudes to design in Poland.
Be sure to visit the exhibition and NOTI's contribution which will feature a number of furniture collections including Clapp, Comfee, Comma, Bouli, Stone, Slim, Manta, Tulli, Teddy Bear, Trefle and Termo.
Slim, design: Towarzystwo Projektowe (Jerzy Porębski i Grzegorz Niwiński), 2005
Arm chairs and sofas of sophisticated shape and characteristic slim line. The name of the collection simultaneously characterises the piece of furniture, bent into an S shape.
Comfee, design: Anna Hrecka, 2007
Comfee arm chair collection, inspired by an ethereal dandelion, constitute light and very comfortable seats creating indoors the atmosphere of calmness and rest. The innovative construction of the seat suspension on a metal frame guarantees exceptional comfort of use.
Termo, design: Tomek Rygalik, 2008
Termo is a modern interpretation of a seat shape for public interiors. The user has the possibility to assemble different elements of the system to the form of bath made of glass fibre. The variety of options of arranging the seat against the backrest and combining them with additional elements - pouf or table - provides a large scope for creating sophisticated compositions of a module piece of furniture.
Comma, design: Renata Kalarus, 2009
The Comma chair's profile refers to a punctuation comma, a mark to stop and catch your breath, in this case... by the table. Getting rid of a selected part from a homogeneous solid allowed building a seat of optimal functional parameters with a practical, semi-circular space: a space for loins and heavy items of clothing.
Manta, design: Piotr Kuchciński, 2009/2016
Line of sofas, arm chairs, and coffee tables of distinctive shape, inspired by toys made of paper - origami. The collection is characterised by armrests and backrests in a unique shape of trapeziums tilted outwards.
Manta Lounge is an exclusive piece of furniture with headrests and footrests, of high design value and improved ergonomics.
Bouli, design: Uniwersytet Artystyczny w Poznaniu (Julia Czechowska, Olga Mężyńska, Urszula Burgieł) – cooperation as part of the Educational and Design Programme (PE-P), 2011
Irregular and amorphous forms of Bouli sofas were designed to surprise the users of a space with an unconventional form of waiting. The diverse surface of solids makes it possible to take a comfortable position, it gives the impression of lightness and softness of form.
Stone, design: Tomasza Augustyniak, 2011
The Stone collection is characterised by the original and modern shape, referring to the Bauhaus classics. The line includes sofas and armchairs in several variants, with or without a hand rest and a footrest, creating, together with an armchair, an interesting version of chaise longue.
Trefle, design: Piotr Kuchciński, 2012
Trefle is a unique interpretation of a normal coffee table. The sophisticated form of a pouf, stool, and a hocker, looks like a four-leaf clover which brings luck. The pouf functions as a coffee table thanks to an independent, sewn-on top which may function as a tray.
Clapp, design: Piotr Kuchciński, 2013
The collection won the Red Dot Product Design Award and it refers to the '60s, especially to the "366" armchair of Józef Chierowski. It is a combination vintage aesthetics and modern shapes - the form is characterised with sharply marked edges of wooden basis and upholstered seats.
Teddy Bear, design: Mikołaj Wierszyłłowski i Projektanci, 2013
The inspiration for Teddy Bear form was a sentimental trip in the past, to the "golden" age Polish design ('50s/'60s) and the mood of the childhood. The user, depending on their interests and requirements plays with solids, combines armchairs and sofas - larger, smaller, lower, and higher. It's like playing blocks.
Tulli, design: Tomek Rygalik, 2015
Collection of seats with Red Dot Product Design Award refers to the design of Tulipan armchair by Teresa Kruszewska from 1973. The form of Tulli is simultaneously stunning and simple. It is characterised by subtly open armrests and technology thanks to which it can be used both indoors and outdoors.
The opening will take place on Thursday, April 5 at 18th, and press conference earlier, at 12th in the Main Building of the National Museum in Krakow, al. 3 Maja 1l. It will last until 19 August 2018.

– The UConn men's soccer team has grown so fond of saying the word resilient that senior defender Max Wasserman couldn't help but apologize when he started to use it Sunday.
"Yeah it's totally repetitive," Wasserman said with smile.
But for this team, on this day, there was no better adjective. The Huskies were every bit the resilient team they strive to be.
With 5:42 left in double overtime, freshman Nicholas Zuniga scored his first career goal to help seal a dramatic comeback and give UConn a 2-1 victory over New Mexico in the third round of the NCAA Tournament in front of 4,315 at Morrone Stadium in Storrs.
"I give our guys a lot of credit," UConn coach Ray Reid said. "They're resilient and they're tough. They worked all year to get the home field and we've held serve ... It was a super effort by a super group of guys."
UConn (17-3-1) plays 12th-seeded Creighton (16-3-3) next Sunday at 1 p.m. in its second straight NCAA quarterfinal appearance. The Bluejays defeated Akron in penalty kicks Sunday.
"We had a lot of chances to win this game," New Mexico coach Jeremy Fishbein said. "It is a tough way to end the season. We lost to a good team, a proud team."
Zuniga, who was a second-half sub, finished off a through ball from Carlos Alvarez just inside the box to give the Huskies only their second comeback victory this season.
"[Zuniga] is going to be good," Reid said. "He had two early he should have buried. The third was a great ball by Alvarez, and I give [Zuniga] a lot of credit. He buried it."
For the Huskies, the fourth overall seed in the tournament, the victory means a long-awaited chance for another shot to get back to the College Cup.
But to get there, they had to fight for it as hard as they've had to fight for anything this season.
New Mexico (17-4-1) took a 1-0 lead with 13:12 left in the first half on a difficult shot from Devon Sandoval, and UConn remained scoreless for 75 minutes.
"We are not used to going down a goal," Wasserman said. "Coach always warns us if we let up a goal, we have to keep our heads, we have to be composed, we have to be focused. So I think that's what we did."
UConn tied the game with 14:03 left in the second half when Wasserman sent a free kick into the box that Sean Weir headed toward Mamadou Doudou Diouf, who then calmly put the ball into the back of the net with another header.
"It was right there, and I had to score," Diouf said.
Still, momentum didn't swing. New Mexico had its chances and UConn had its chances. But it was the Lobos with the best opportunity.
With nearly two minutes left in regulation, Ben McKendry had the ball and an open net. But with no one to beat but himself, he failed to get his foot on the ball and saw it trickle out of bounds at the far post.
The Huskies were still alive, and they wouldn't waste their second chance.
After battling with New Mexico through the first overtime period and the first four minutes of the second, Alvarez put a ball perfectly on the foot of Zuniga, who finished with a one-timer to the lower left corner.
"At the moment what was going through my mind was just put in the goal, because I had enough opportunities in the game," Zuniga said.
Zuniga wasn't the only one who persevered.
Nearly 15 minutes into the second half, Blake Smith made a move around UConn goalie Andre Blake and fired a shot toward the middle of an open net.
But before the ball crossed the goal line, Wasserman and Michael Mercado got to it in time and kicked it wide.
. "Mercado was the one who kicked it, but I was there also. It wasn't going in," Wasserman said.
It was this attitude of defiance that embodied UConn and made its championship goals still possible headed into December.
"I know we keep saying we're resilient, but we keep proving it," Wasserman said.

I'm still working on eating up that pork tenderloin I bought a while ago and stuck in the freezer. So, voilà another pork roast recipe! I have a feeling we'll be having some great pork sandwiches with these leftovers. 🙂 I found the recipe in my Taste of Home November issue but modified the vegetables since we prefer potatoes and carrots over rutabaga and celery root. It turned about absolutely great! The pork roast is tender and sweet and the vegetables taste great in the herb mixture. We both really liked it, and that's saying a lot from me since I'm not a huge fan of pork!
This is such a simple meal to make, you just have to have enough time to let it cook.
Crumb-Crusted Pork Roast
(adapted from Taste of Home)
1 boneless pork loin roast (2-3lbs)
4 teaspons honey
1 Tablespoon molasses
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup bread crumbs
2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese.
2 teaspoons sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried crushed rosemary
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
1 large potato, peeled and cubed
2-3 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
1 large onion, cut into chunks
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1. Place roast in a greased shallow roasting pan or baking dish.
2. Mix together honey, molasses and mustard and brush over roast.
3. Mix together bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. In separate bowl, mix together sage, thyme and rosemary. Add 2 teaspoons of the herb mixture to the bread crumb mixture. Coat top and sides of roast with bread crumb mixture.
3. Add cut vegetables to a large ziploc bag. Pour in olive oil. Add salt and pepper to remaining herb mixture and pour over vegetables in bag. Toss to thoroughly coat. Add vegetables to pan with roast.
4. Cook uncovered for 1 1/2 – 1 3/4 hours at 350° or until thermometer reads 150° and pork is slightly pink.

Pet ownership entails a lot of responsibilities which would ensure the animal's overall health and well-being. One of the most crucial aspects of owning a pet, such as a dog, is observing the right diet for him, which includes giving him the best Dubai pet food out of all the brands and kinds available on the market.
Most dog parents think that it is okay to give their canines any type or brand of food, but this is completely wrong. Putting him on an inappropriate diet could lead to nutritional imbalances and illnesses.
So to guarantee your dog's health and happiness, here are six common dog feeding mistakes you must avoid.
1. Giving dogs food for other pets
Generally, pet foods are formulated to provide the nutritional needs of a specific type of pet. This means that dog foods are meant for canines while cat foods are for felines, and so on.
So when buying dog care supplies, make sure to read pet food labels carefully. If a bag of food clearly indicates that it is meant for cats, don't even try to give it to your dog. Bear in mind that pet foods are never interchangeable. This unhealthy practice can result in health issues like liver and kidney problems and obesity.
2. Sharing human food
Sharing people food with pets is a mistake that many dog parents often commit. While this feeding practice may seem like a practical and more economical option (not to mention an opportunity to bond with the pet over yummy snacks), you need to be aware that foods that are delicious and healthy for you may be toxic to your canines, even in small amounts. These include chocolates, grapes, garlic, onions, and avocados, to name a few.
Giving cow's milk to your dog is also another mistake as he can suffer from stomach upset. So if you have a puppy still relying on milk, consider giving him milk formulas made specifically for pups. If not, consult a vet for a better, healthier alternative.
3. Free-feeding
Your love for your dog is not measured by how much food you give him on a daily basis. Constantly keeping his feeding bowl full, even outside his feeding schedule, will do him more harm than good. For instance, this incorrect practice will cause him to eat more than what he needs, thus resulting in canine obesity.
The same is true with giving dog treats. Showering your canine with treats is not equal to showering him with hugs and kisses. Treats must only be a small part of his diet and should not replace a nutritious meal. Take note that giving him lots of treats will cause him to lose his appetite for his regular meal and can also lead to obesity.
So don't let your dog's wagging tail and pleading eyes, which he may put on full blast each time you scoop out his food, drive you to pour more food in his bowl. You must be in full control over how much he eats. Always use a measuring cup to keep track of his daily intake.
4. Raw feeding
Studies have shown that a raw diet can harm your dogs.
For one, it is not nutritionally balanced because most raw diets contain high amounts of vitamin A and D, but few amounts of phosphorus and calcium. So when you choose to give your canine raw foods, you are not giving him a well-balanced diet, which can also result in nutritional imbalances.
Secondly, a raw diet can transmit pathogens from the raw food to you and your family. For example, when your dog eats raw chicken then later kisses your child, there is a huge possibility that your child becomes exposed to salmonella.
5. Suddenly changing his diet
If you suddenly change the food being given to your dog, for whatever reason, he may experience digestive problems. So if there is a need to alter your pet's diet to make him healthier, make sure to do it gradually. Mix his old food with the new one, slowly increasing the amount of the new food while reducing the old food, to give his tummy enough time to adapt.
6. Giving your dog foods full of grains
Grains are not fatal to dogs, but they can cause different health issues because dogs don't produce amylase that is necessary to digest starches. So as much as possible, you must opt for grain-free dog foods. Also, avoid foods that depend on grains as an alternative to high-quality protein.
If you are a first-time dog owner, it is inevitable to commit dog care slip-ups. But being aware of the common dog feeding mistakes will prevent you from committing any of these, which is a great start to ensuring your canine's overall health and well-being.

Will The Get Down prove another Netflix hit? Netflix just released the first six episodes of its hip- hop musical fantasy to mixed reviews, after multiple delays and a production that reportedly swelled to $120 million.
Directed by Baz Luhrmann, the figure, if accurate, would make The Get Downthe most expensive series in Netflix history, according to The Digital Music News. The series gives a fictionalized account of the birth of hip hop in 1977 South Bronx, with a little magic realism thrown into the mix.
If you're familiar with Luhrmann's other films, including The Great Gatsby and Moulin Rouge, you'll get an idea of the lush production values favored by the Australian director.
'The Get Down' – the story
Despite the flashes of fantasy and stylized action scenes, Luhrmannwanted to make the musical part of the TV series authentic, enlisting hip hop luminaries Nas, Grandmaster Flash, and Kurtis Blow on the production team. Grandmaster Flash is also a character in the series, played by Mamoudou Athie as the musical guru to a group of talented teenagers that include Shameik Moore as Shaolin Fantastic, Justice Smith as Ezekie Figuero and Herizen Guardiola as Mylene Cruz.
Shaolin, Zeke and the Kipling brothers, played by Jaden Smith, Tremaine Brown Jr., and Skylan Brooks, end up at an underground party where Zeke's talent for rhyming and budding DJ Shaolin come under the spotlight. The "Fantastic 4 + 1" crew are born and hip hop is about to explode. The show's score is written by Nas, and Grandmaster Flash, among others, and is available on its own. Music isn't the only creative expression for the kids of the South Bronx.
The Get Down also features graffiti, DJing, and dancing.
Find your beat, find your crew. #TheGetDownhttps://t.co/WyC5qnhEb3— The Get Down (@TheGetDown) August 13, 2016
'The Get Down' – the reviews
The Get Down is getting a mixed reaction from reviewers, although most outlets praise music along with the visual spectacle created by Luhrmann. Pitchfork calls it "Rare (And Great)" and emphasizes the series' respect for the music.
The Atlantic calls it "grandiose" and says the "new Netflix show hums with cinematic magic."
Disco clashes with the new hip hop sound the crew is creating just as the high schoolers routinely butt up against the casual neighborhood gang violence, not to mention urban corruption, unreasonable parents, and more in the gritty neighborhood that was the South Bronx in the late 1970's. The series' first musical number ends in a shoot up of a disco club. A review in Time Magazinesays that the series"misses too many beats" in its attempts to cram too many concepts into The Get Down as the storyline strays from the teenagers and their music.
Will The Get Down find its audience? Netflix is reportedly releasing the remaining sixepisodes in 2017.

It has been said, "From small beginnings come great things!" Well, I am not expecting greatness here… let's just get that out of the way! My thinking is that perhaps by documenting the small inspirations in my classroom, it could possibly inspire others, and help build a community of teachers to inspire me in return. That would be great! So here I go, off to capture some of the magic we all know happens in our classrooms every day. Thank you for stopping by!

Thieves steal pigs from high school
November 13, 2003
KERSEY – Pig rustlers are on the loose in the Kersey area.
Three pigs are missing from a Platte Valley High School vocational agriculture program, and Kersey police said at least two of them were killed and stolen from their pen near the school. Last year, someone made off with a 250-pound pig from the same program.
This year, the program has lost three 140-pound pigs, said Kenton Ochsner, a vocational agriculture teacher at the school.
Each year, students in agriculture classes participate in a student-owned corporation that buys 20 feeder pigs, which are then fed to market weight. The pigs are divided into four pens with each pen getting different
feed supplements that allow the students to conduct research, with the assistance of Colorado State University, on the growth of the animals.
Every year, shares in the corporation are sold to students for $10 each. At the end of the program, the hogs are slaughtered, bills are paid, and any profits go back to shareholders, depending on the number of shares each holds. Last year, some students made $20 to $25 a share.
Recommended Stories For You
The pigs are kept in pens east of Platte Valley High School.
The first pig disappeared the night of Nov. 4, and two others were taken Nov. 7, Ochsner said Thursday.
Pat Carey, Kersey police chief, said pig tracks were found at the Nov. 4 incident outside the pen.
"We're not sure if that pig was taken or if it got out on its own," Carey said. It has not been found.
Last Friday, however, both pigs were killed in their pens, then
removed. Whoever took them dragged the dead animals about 200 feet to Weld County Road 55, where it is thought they were loaded in a vehicle. That fits the same method of last year's theft.
Evidence taken from the Nov. 7 theft has been sent to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. The pigs may have been shot, based on blood found in the pen, but Carey said the cause of death has not yet been determined.
Each of the market hogs produce about $300 worth of meat. But that's only part of the problem. Two of the pigs came from one of the four pens, while the third came from a different pen.
"So it's really frustrating. We try to use this as a learning program. Not only have the kids lost $900, but we've had to make adjustments to the program with the pigs we have left," he said.

Over the last few years cycling has become increasingly popular, whether it's as a healthy and cost-effective means of commuting or wanting to emulate the likes of Froome, Thomas et al out on the open road. More and more of us are discovering the sheer joy of getting out on our bikes and whilst for the majority of us there's never the need for concern, there are unfortunately some risks involved in getting out on a bike. According to ROSPA* the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, 2016 saw a total of 18,477 cyclists injured or killed in road accidents whilst Cyclist Magazine** report just short of 400,000 bikes are stolen every year in the UK, which is a slightly worrying stat, to say the least.
The Importance of having bicycle insurance
While bicycle insurance is not a legal requirement, it is increasingly becoming part of owning a bike. Costs can soon add up if you were to be involved in a collision with a third party, your bike gets stolen or incurs some accidental damage. While the chances of these circumstances are slim, knowing that you are covered gives you that peace of mind when out and about on your bike. What's more, if you're a keen cyclist you've probably got a number of bikes under one roof (after all, we all know the n+1 rule) so it's important to understand the range of insurance options available to you.
Third-Party Public Liability Insurance
Accidents can happen and while we like to think it won't happen to us, it's better to be prepared. In the unlikely event that it does happen, the accident could involve a third party. This could be on the commute, the weekend club ride or just while going for a quick spin and could involve a vehicle, pedestrian, or fellow cyclist. If you're found to be at fault, having public liability cover will protect you and your bank balance, in the event of a claim by the other party involved.
Protection against Theft
Although you may take the necessary precautions of investing in a secure bike lock or keeping your bike stored in a safe place when not in use, unfortunately, these are sometimes still not enough. As cyclists ourselves, we know there would be nothing worse than that sinking feeling we'd experience if our bike was stolen. Whilst bicycle insurance won't take away that feeling it will at least mean you're not hurt in the pocket as well.
A range of bicycle insurance to suit your needs
At PedalCover, our unique home and bike insurance policy protects you and all your bikes in one simple policy. Our specialist bike insurance can cover you whether you have a road bike, mountain bike, e-bike or you're a keen triathlete.
Whilst having bicycle insurance is not compulsory, whatever type of bike you have and whatever type of cycling you're in to, having a policy that covers you in the event of something going wrong makes sense.

From elite marathoner and Olympic hopeful Becky Wade comes the story of her year-long exploration of diverse global running communities from England to Ethiopia—9 countries, 72 host families, and over 3,500 miles of running—investigating unique cultural approaches to the sport and revealing the secrets to the success of runners all over the world.
Fresh off a successful collegiate running career—with multiple NCAA All-American honors and two Olympic Trials qualifying marks to her name—Becky Wade was no stranger to international competition. But after years spent safely sticking to the training methods she knew, Becky was curious about how her counterparts in other countries approached the sport to which she'd dedicated over half of her life. So in 2012, as a recipient of the Watson Fellowship, she packed four pairs of running shoes, cleared her schedule for the year, and took off on a journey to infiltrate diverse running communities around the world. What she encountered far exceeded her expectations and changed her outlook into the sport she loved.
Over the next twelve months—visiting 9 countries with unique and storied running histories, logging over 3,500 miles running over trails, tracks, sidewalks, and dirt roads—Becky explored the varied approaches of runners across the globe. Whether riding shotgun around the streets of London with Olympic champion sprinter Usain Bolt, climbing for an hour at daybreak to the top of Ethiopia's Mount Entoto just to start her daily run, or getting lost jogging through the bustling streets of Tokyo, Becky's unexpected adventures, keen insights, and landscape descriptions take the reader into the heartbeat of distance running around the world.
Upon her return to the United States, she incorporated elements of the training styles she'd sampled into her own program, and her competitive career skyrocketed. When she made her marathon debut in 2013, winning the race in a blazing 2:30, she became the third-fastest woman marathoner under the age of 25 in U.S. history, qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Trials and landing a professional sponsorship from Asics.
From the feel-based approach to running that she learned from the Kenyans, to the grueling uphill workouts she adopted from the Swiss, to the injury-recovery methods she learned from the Japanese, Becky shares the secrets to success from runners and coaches around the world. The story of one athlete's fascinating journey, Run the World is also a call to change the way we approach the world's most natural and inclusive sport.

"I started reading Becky Wade's story and I simply could not stop—her journey around the globe pulls you along like a great running trail with each turn promising something new and wonderful." - Tom Foreman, author of My Year of Running Dangerously
"In her incredible running journey, Becky Wade captures the beauty of the sport--chasing your goals, forming lifelong bonds, learning resilience, and of course, eating delicious food." - Shalane Flanagan, Olympic champion in long-distance track running and author of Run Fast Eat Slow
"Every so often a book comes along that becomes a cult classic for competitive runners but also has appeal to a broader audience. Once a Runner, Born to Run, and Running with the Buffaloes were all such books, and this terrific debut is sure to join their ranks." - Booklist
"Wade's endearing and inspiring story will appeal to readers looking for an insider's view of the determination and spirit shared by Olympians (and casual runners) throughout the world." - Library Journal
"Becky Wade is one of America's best distance runners, yet more so an ultimate adventurer. In Run the World, Becky takes the reader along on her brave journey, providing an intimate glimpse into running cultures around the world." - Deena Kastor, Olympic medalist and American record holder in the marathon
"The beauty of running can always be found in the journey. Each and every mile holds something new, in the runner and in the world around her. Never has this been illustrated more beautifully than in Becky Wade's story." - Dawn Dais, author of The Nonrunner's Marathon Guide for Women
"For anyone who loves running, loves to travel, or better yet, both, Run the World offers a chance to live vicariously through Wade's incredible journey of training in the most hallowed grounds of distance running. Her adventures will teach, inspire, and probably light a fire inside of you." - Ryan Hall, premier distance runner and author of Running with Joy: My Daily Journey to the Marathon

While we were in town for Karen and John's wedding. I took the opportunity on Saturday to visit my favorite place in DC; The US Botanical Garden. They are currently having an exhibit on orchids called Orchid Symphony. They always have all different types of Orchids, but this is different. As soon as you walk in, there are hundreds of orchids.
I would have taken my time, but I took about 20 minutes to walk around since Curtis was not feeling well and sitting outside. I did manage to capture some great details using my macro lens. I've actually never been to the garden using my macro lens and it was a totally different experience. Most of these were used with just auto focus, but the really close up must be taken using manual focus, which I enjoy cause it's a challenge.
When I came out, I snapped a picture of Curtis just for fun. Then he proceeded to take the camera and take on of me.
This is my favorite shot. If you couldn't tell, I usually put my favorites alone. 😉 I need to go back and identify this plant. I should have taken notes. Oh well, maybe next time I'm down there for another wedding.

Cutting back impatiens
Anonymous added on July 3, 2015 | Answered
Any way to cut back impatiens that have gotten leggy at the nursery? Thanks.
Answered on July 5, 2015
Pinch them back to 6 inches and they should regrow as bushier plants. Leggy plants are also fixed by trimming off the plant so that it looks more like a bush shape.
