With Valentine's Day around the corner, it's a great time to recall the most heart-filled speeches we've experienced in our lives. These speeches can be, quite literally, the pivotal moments that change our future. In fact, almost every important moment in life begins with a speech or a passionate verbal interaction.
Valentine's Day is a wonderful time to brush up on the language of love, whether you are a public speaker in training, a veteran, or just hoping to communicate authentically.
There's a reason a word from a loved one means more than from a stranger. We can always tap into that tacit connection all humans have.
Whether you're trying to pitch your skills, a new product or service, close a deal, practice in a public speaking training, land a contract, or even propose marriage to the love of your life…your words and your message matters!
The more passionate you are about the message of your presentation, the more pressure you may feel to convey that message with confidence and clarity. We all put tremendous weight on ourselves to ensure that a message resonates, connects, ignites, and even inspires our audience.
Instead of letting the emotions choke you up, why not let the words flow?
Use all of the love in the air as motivation to speak from the heart. A genuine love story tugs on everyone's heartstrings and leads them on an unforgettable journey, so make your speech a love story and bring your audience on an unforgettable ride.
Here are some simple tips from our public speaking training to help you embrace passion in your next presentation:
The Heart of The Matter
Get to the heart of the matter. Stating your most crucial point at the beginning of your speech will command the attention of your audience up front. You can introduce it with a clever hook, then support it by explaining why.
Beating around the bush and completely missing the point is frustrating and confusing for an audience. Often times, speakers NEVER get to the point because they run out of time by waiting until the end or digressing completely off topic. Wandering off course can take you into what I like to call "Uncanny Valley," where the speaker suddenly loses not only the point, but also all traces of personality while staring at a strange space in the back of the room. It may sound crazy, but you'd be surprised how often I've witnessed this very thing! It was so uncanny and frequent that I actually named it.
Ah, now I digress…
The best way to avoid meandering from your point is to practice your speech out loud several times. When speakers seem to be "winging it" with eloquence, I assure you – they have practiced backwards and forwards, inside and out, whispering their main points in their sleep. The more intimate you are with the information you are sharing – and exactly how you want to share it – the more natural you will seem as you present it.
Change of Heart
Persuade your audience to have a change of heart. If you want others to take action on your ideas, then your talk must teach or share new knowledge, motivate, inspire, or persuade. This is how to create a change in thought or behavior.
You have one opportunity to take the audience by the hand and lead them on a trip from what they thought at the beginning of your talk to what they will think at the end. And you are the one creating the roadmap.
Make sure your listeners know why they should fall head-over-heels for what you have to say.
Why should your audience care about your topic? You can start by explaining what it can mean to them.
How are you going to encourage the audience to think or act differently after your talk is over? And why do you want them to?
Love Your Message
But it isn't enough to have a roadmap if you don't have a car. This is when you put your plan into practice by gathering together your dry facts and figures to form a story. What is your data trying to tell you?
"Maybe," Brené Brown says in her TED Talk on vulnerability, "stories are just data with a soul."
Your story is the vehicle that gets your raw data–and your audience–to move through the journey you have crafted for them. Constructing a story involves creating a beginning, middle and end – and don't forget to include a vibrant cast of characters.
Need a story? You can find a meaningful tale to share by identifying common ground. How does your work connect to the world at large? How has your message already begun to change the world?
Spend time on making sure your story comes straight from the heart. Your audience will respond best to authenticity.
Get swept off your feet by your story and never lose heart! Believing in yourself and your message can be the most effective tool you have to create change. Passion and enthusiasm are contagious. An audience will mirror that same energy when they see you presenting it.
Inject Passion
Now you have a plan and a vehicle–what's the missing ingredient? Fuel. Ignite your audience with the passion you feel for your topic. Find what's in your presentation that excites you and transfer that excitement.
Surely, sometimes you're just giving a presentation on something mundane or protocol for your industry. It may seem difficult to find anything that gets your motor going. But this is where proficient speakers separate from the throng and show off their public speaking training with panache.
Angela Lee Duckworth's TED Talk discusses the power of passion and perseverance. The truly gifted public speakers will view themselves as a vessel for their message. Their passion comes from the knowledge that their message is valuable and necessary.
What if you allowed your passion to flow, emotion catching in your throat as you unabashedly share your truth and your heart, your stories, your perspective?
As intimidating as it may sound, this is exactly the kind of moment that can connect you immediately with your audience. Allowing them a secret glimpse into what moves you – especially if you share a story – grants immediate empathy from the group, making your speech more memorable and a change in thinking more possible.
Enthusiastic and purposeful communication needs no teleprompter, PowerPoint or spotlight because the speaker's heart – your heart – will shine brightly for the audience.
This Valentine's Day, turn your presentation into a love story between your audience and your message. When you speak from the heart, sincere passion and love will come through–and it is contagious. It's easy to talk to others when your heart is in the right place.
Spread the love and speak on. And Happy Valentines Day!

Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 40 joined forces with the Peruvian Navy for a six-day anti-submarine warfare (ASW) training exercise off the coast of Lima, Peru, ending June 18.
Silent Forces Exercise (SIFOREX) 2008 consisted of four days of intense, structured ASW practice, followed by an 18-hour "scenario phase." During this unscripted scenario phase units simulated a real-world ASW situation.
The guided-missile destroyers USS Farragut (DDG-99) and USS Forrest Sherman (DDG-98), and the guided-missile frigate USS Kauffman (FFG-59) joined by the Peruvian BAP Villavisencio (FM-52) and BAP Montero (FM 53) had to find the small, quiet Peruvian diesel submarines, BAP Chipana (SS-34) and BAP Antofagasta (SS-32).
Lt. Nathan Scherry, one of Farragut's tactical action officers, explained that the exercise proved challenging but valuable.
"Practicing ASW in our home waters, we are almost always against a synthetic target, or a nuclear submarine, at best. But nuclear subs aren't what we need to practice against," said Scherry. "It's very rare that we get to practice against an actual diesel submarine, with actual people in it, thinking tactically from the other side of the picture.
"Sounds cliché, but, doing six days of this kind of work with multiple diesel subs was really an opportunity to excel."
SIFOREX provided an opportunity for partner navies to exchange officers and enlisted personnel for the week, giving those personnel unique perspectives into the daily lives, routines, and procedures of their counterparts. Lt.j.g. Rolando Vidal, part of the Peruvian Submarine Force, embarked Farragut for the exercise.
"It's quite an interesting experience to be a ship-rider because I'm usually on the other side of the war — I'm a submariner. It's a great experience to be up here, on the surface with the ships, seeing the way that you conduct the search for our submarines," said Vidal.
"We're always doing the search, on patrol; but other ships and other navies also have their work to do. It's not often that we get to see the other side."
SIFOREX began at an intermediate level and concluded with events requiring advanced, integrated coordination between the navies.
Capt. Rudy Laco, DESRON 40 commodore, noted that this exercise was a capstone event for the ASW teams on all the participating ships.
"These ships have been practicing ASW for the entire Partnership of the Americas engagement this year. This exercise culminates those efforts. There won't be an exercise of this magnitude held again for some time.
"Farragut, Forrest Sherman, and Kauffman, as well as our Peruvian counterparts, did a great job of taking full advantage of the training opportunities this exercise presented," said Laco. "And with six days of around the clock interaction, there was plenty of training to go around,"
Capt. Jose Del Alamo, commander of Peru's Submarine Force, said he was pleased to see both teams grow during the exercise.
"I think we saw this week how much each of us have to learn from one another," he said. "Both of our navies have many junior officers, for whom this was the first year of training. For them, this was a great learning experience. So, too, for those senior officers among us—every one of us have something to learn from every day at sea."
For Vidal the experience was heightened by a sense of solidarity with fellow Sailors and officers throughout the two navies.
"Community is one of the most important things, not just in our navies, but in all of the navies of the world," said Vidal. "Any time we get to strengthen and grow our community, to make our community a more global one—that's a good thing."

It's that busy time of year again as all of us here at IDO are hustling to get projects completed by the 2017 End Of Year deadline. As my family and I are prepping for Thanksgiving, I was wondering what the latest and greatest Holiday Design trends would be for this year. We almost always put up our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. I have done the red, white, and silver scheme, and the turquoise/peacock blue, and purple trend that was popular a few years ago. Now our tree is filled with those precious handmade ornaments from our little one and so doing a fancy themed tree has been difficult the past few years. I do love our collection of random ornaments that we all love and we choose a new special one every year. Of course, my daughter sometimes gets more than one ornament, but she does have her very own Christmas tree, which is filled with princess and ballerina ornaments two of her favorites.
After doing some research on Pinterest and online I discovered that the new Christmas Design trends for 2017 are quite a range of styles and colors. I am still partial to the traditional red and green Christmas colors with touches of white and silver. I do love bold colors like the rich blue and gold on the Elle Décor's "25 Spectacular Christmas Tree Ideas That Are Over The Top (In The Best Way)," check them out here. The newest trend I've been seeing lately is a gorgeous white Christmas tree with pale pinks and dusty blue. I'm also loving the blue and silver trees. It reminds me of the song "Silver Bells." If you are looking for simple, check out the Ombre Tree for a fun look. Rustic trend is still popular as well.
If you need more Christmas décor ideas, Elle Décor's "20+ Christmas Decorating Ideas For Extra Stylish Seasonal Cheer," has beautiful ideas for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. How will you decorate for the Holidays this year?

Worldwide tally reaches highest point since CPJ began surveys in 1990. Governments use charges of terrorism, other anti-state offenses to silence critical voices. Turkey is the world's worst jailer. A CPJ special report
At least 49 journalists remain jailed in Turkey. (AFP)
Published December 11, 2012
Imprisonment of journalists worldwide reached a record high in 2012, driven in part by the widespread use of charges of terrorism and other anti-state offenses against critical reporters and editors, the Committee to Protect Journalists has found. In its annual census of imprisoned journalists, CPJ identified 232 individuals behind bars on December 1, an increase of 53 over its 2011 tally.
Large-scale imprisonments in Turkey, Iran, and China helped lift the global tally to its highest point since CPJ began conducting worldwide surveys in 1990, surpassing the previous record of 185 in 1996. The three nations, the world's worst jailers of the press, each made extensive use of vague anti-state laws to silence dissenting political views, including those expressed by ethnic minorities. Worldwide, anti-state charges such as terrorism, treason, and subversion were the most common allegations brought against journalists in 2012. At least 132 journalists were being held around the world on such charges, CPJ's census found.
Eritrea and Syria also ranked among the world's worst, each jailing numerous journalists without charge or due process and holding them in secret prisons without access to lawyers or family members. Worldwide, 63 journalists are being held without any publicly disclosed charge.
Vietnam, Azerbaijan, Ethiopia, Uzbekistan, and Saudi Arabia rounded out the 10 worst jailers. In two of those nations, Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan, the authorities used retaliatory charges such as hooliganism and drug possession to jail critical reporters and editors. In 19 cases worldwide, governments used a variety of charges unrelated to journalism to silence critical journalists. In the cases included in this census, CPJ determined that the charges were fabricated.

Search Ads Look…Limp? Try THIS.
Fact: We all have performance issues from time to time with our PP…C, ads.
Between figuring out programmatic ad buying, stress at the office over the right keywords in your landing page, and your newborn native advertisements keeping you up at night, it's no wonder you're having problems with your PPC , ads.
Then you hear the sentence that burns an eternal pit into your ego:
"It's not you, it's me."
Now, instead of letting your dreams be crushed, we're here to tell you that there IS something you can do about issues with your PPC and Search ads. If your ad performance is looking a little, well, limp–we're here to present you with some tricks of the search ad trade that will help you get back on track to your glory days, when your search ads performed on demand.
Note: This is geared towards search ads on Google's Search Network, although considering the clear advantages of Google's Display Network, the best approach for a PPC ad campaign is done through a dual-network approach; run campaigns for both, if your ad budget permits.
A Primer On The Google Search Network
On the topic of GSN (Google Search Network), it's the primary network we focus on here at the Advertising Institute; that being said, little changes you make to your search ads can drastically affect their placement on Google's search pages, accessibility and crucial information being displayed that could lead to conversions, leads, etc.
Between paid ads and organic (free) listings, GSN is targeted towards users who are actively searching for what they want, with a particular set of keywords.
That being said, your keywords are a great place to start revamping your search ad efforts.
The Key, Is Keyword
The text on your search ad is the first thing users will see upon their query on GSN. As mentioned in previous postings on Quality Score–easily the most overlooked element of any ad campaign–better keywords in the long-run eventually cost less, and do more.
As a quick tip, aim towards keywords in your AdWords campaign manager that are low-competition, but highly searched, for maximum reach among active searchers.
Although these tips are AdWords centric, they can be applied to any keyword search platform, such as Bing and more. Be sure to run searches on keywords that are already performing well to find variations that can bring in better results, as well as researching the negative keywords that you DON'T want on your search ads.
By reviewing your ad copy and pausing keywords that aren't contributing to leads or sales, you can save money on your ad budget and allocate them towards keywords that have a higher ROI, thus improving your Quality Score.
The result of that? Better ranking on the Google Search Network.
Different Platform, Different Results
Here's a question for you, hot-shot: in consideration of your ad campaigns, what platform does it get the most traffic from? Mobile? Desktop vs. tablets?
Knowing your platform of performance means tailoring your search ads towards better results; as we discussed in our Mobile Revolution posting, search results look drastically different on mobile devices vs. desktops and tablets, so your copy should be adjusted accordingly. Most of the time, search ads on mobile devices have less you can put in description lines, and less copy available to read due to screen constraints.
That being said, if you're looking to optimize your ad copy for mobile devices, are you taking full advantage of the following:
- Sitelink extentions
- Callout extensions
- URL keywords
- Headline Extensions + Description Line One
- Structured Snippets
If not, then you should probably read this to get up to speed on mobile search advertising.
Search & Destroy
So the copy is great on all of your search ads, and well optimized for mobile devices, tablets and desktops alike; have you run a search query report on your high-volume campaigns for queries' sake? A report can help determine the relevant searches towards other industries, which can then help you select negative keywords to avoid in your search ads.
Accordingly, did you know that you can exclude user locations that might be irrelevant to your search ads? For example, the month of December means umbrella sales for Vancouver, but likely not for our chilly neighbours in Ontario.
That said, you have the magical ability to geotarget populations that are actively searching for your ads; in lieu targeting, you can allocate your ad budgeting towards the locations that are relevant, helping to cut down costs on ads where they aren't performing.

"Crochet can help you manage your day to day battles"
Did you know, crocheting can help abosorb hours of worry while soothing the bleakness of the black cloud of depression.

The Early Years -- An Interview with Eskimo Pie Girl conducted by Eskimo Pie Girl
Id: So why did you decide to interview yourself?
Ego: Because three monkey boys told me to, and I am always doing what they suggest and getting myself into trouble.
Id: So tell me a little bit about your life.
Ego: Well I was born in Arizona, and when I was 2 and a half, my family moved to a small fishing village in Alaska where my Dad taught school.
Id: That's quite a change from Arizona to Alaska.
Ego: Yeah my life has been a series of dichotomies from very early on.
Id: So what was it like living in Alaska?
Ego: It was very primitive. Some of the places we lived didn't have running water, so we had to haul our water from natural springs. Most of the houses were shacks, one was built in the 19th century and proclaimed a historical monument so I guess it will be there forever. We were very far away from civilization, so T.V. was intermittent, if at all, no phone, no newspapers. We drove to the movie house 30 miles away. It was a corrugated quanset hut. But it was very beautiful, no pollution, you could drink out of the rivers. Everyone seemed more laid back. I think maybe with fewer people, there was less "competition" so-to-speak. Also, everyone was put on an equal level by the elements, snowstorms and 30 below weather cut thru all socio-economic strata. My father was well-educated, and my mother was a painter, so I had those influences growing up. But they were not "ambitious." My mother only painted for us and her friends and because she enjoyed it. My father was a walking encyclopedia and had no desire to turn any of his genius into big money-making projects. Every once in a while he would write an article for the Cheechako News (Cheechako means "newcomer" or "gringo"). Maybe my parents were laid back because they were older when they had me, my dad was 41 and my mom 33. I think maybe when you're older, you lose a lot of that constant striving and trying to "make your way" in the world, and you just live peacefully. My dad is a real inspiration to me--starting a new life at age 40 with a family and moving to Alaska. Both my parents were very literate, and from very early on, my mother read to me, and then from about age 5 on, I would sit on a kitchen stool and read entire novels aloud to her while she baked. She had had a classical education in England, and from what I could tell, her public school education was far superior to what we get here in America. She was the one who always encouraged me to write. She was always giving me little diaries and journals as presents; consequently, I have a very well documented life--with drawers full of writings from a young age.
Id: Do you think that was how you developed your reading style, by reading to her?
Ego: Well, apparently, I could read at a very young age, and they didn't have any kindergarten up there, so I went into the first grade at age 5. My parents had to drive me 200 miles to Anchorage to take an IQ test because I was supposedly too young to go to school. Then in the first grade, my teacher pulled me out of the reading and writing classes and made me go sit in the hall and teach a couple of second graders who were struggling to learn how to read. I don't think I was a very good teacher tho'. I remember one time I said to a kid who couldn't seem to read, "What's wrong with you? Are you stupid?" Then in 3rd and 4th grades, during "story time," I would sit and read to the whole class. I gave my first public performance at age 5, singing "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth." I think there must have been about 200 people in the gymnasium. I was always in school plays every year. And then I was on the forensics team in 3rd thru 5th grades. I won a second place in a regional competition in the "humorous poetry" category. Then I went to the State spelling bee championships in 6th or 7th grade. So I was always getting up in front of people.
Id: How did you end up in California?
Ego: When I was 12, my grandfather died and left my parents a couple thousand dollars which they used to send me to one year at a private high school in the Bay Area so I could see "the real world." Most of the other kids were very very rich, Diane Carroll's daughter went there, and the daughter of the guy who owned 20th-century Fox, and Francis Ford Coppola's son; my roommate was the granddaughter of the Shah of Iran. She always wanted to be called, "Princess." The school was based on Greek ideals of multi-disciplinary education, so I took a lot of cool classes like Classical Drama and Post-World War II Novel, and then lots of science and 4 years of math. They made us do "real world" activities too, so I worked in an office and at the library. One of their requirements for graduation was that you had to spend 3 weeks in the wilderness, so when I was 16, I spent 3 weeks on a backpacking trip in the Sierras. Most of my teachers were much younger than my own parents, and these people became my mentors. I was terribly homesick for Alaska, but my teachers distracted me by taking me away on weekends on backpacking, kayaking, cross-country skiing and rock-climbing trips. They also took me to San Francisco to go sailing, and to see plays, and then up to the Ashland Shakespeare Festival. Then I attended my sophomore year at public schools, half a year in Alaska with my dad and half a year in Arizona with my mom. My dad had like one year left before he could retire, so my mom went down to Arizona and bought a retirement home for them. Then the private school gave me a scholarship to come back my junior and senior years. But when I graduated at 17, my parents couldn't afford to pay out-of-state tuition for me in California, so I had to go to work full-time at Jack-in-the-Box. That was another contrast, here I had been at this school with all of these rich movie stars' kids, and I took all these advanced classes, like I wrote an A+ senior paper on nuclear fusion, and then a month later, I was working at Jack-in-the-Box. I had no job skills, so I had to walk thru the streets of Davis (cus I had no car) wearing my only good pair of pants, handing in resumes at all the restaurants and stores. So that was pretty rough, waking up at 5 a.m. every morning to walk to work, making $400 a month full-time. But I somehow didn't seem to mind. I was madly in love and I was living in the little oasis of Davis--free of crime and city-life stresses. I saved every little penny I had, and within 3 years, my boyfriend and I were able to buy our first house. And a few years later, we bought a really swank 4-bedroom house.
Id: So you did that just by working at Jack-in-the-Box?
Ego: No, I only worked a few months there; then I borrowed $900 and went to a business school in Sacramento; waking up at 4:30 in the morning to catch the bus to go and learn how to type. The admissions officer looked at my high school grades and said, "Wow, your parents must be really disappointed that you are coming to school here." I had been accepted into UCD, but I had to decline because I couldn't afford it. I didn't really know about scholarships or financial aid, and I think I just wasn't ready to go to college. My parents probably could have afforded to send me to school, and for a long time I kind of resented them for not sending me to school; but they had just retired and I think were on tricky financial footing until they sold their place in Alaska. Actually, I think it worked out best for me because I was able, thru working, to establish myself financially at a young age, and then go to UCD later when I didn't have to worry about money. At the business school, they offered me my first "editing" job, grading other students' papers. After I graduated, I applied for 40 jobs at UC Davis, and I finally got a job as a typist, sitting at a typewriter and typing the same form over and over for two years. Then I got hired as an assistant editor for a professor. And then I got hired as an administrator for a guy who gave me a lucky break and made me a supervisor and gave me a bunch of responsibilities which I had never been given before. I think he hired me because I gave him a paper I had written on Artificial Intelligence. Most of my jobs that I ever got were based on my writing abilities which professors really appreciated. From my early twenties, I began editing manuscripts, and then writing things like business letters and reports and minutes; and then the last ten years or so, I started writing articles and newsletters.
Id: So when did you start writing poetry?
Ego: Well, one day, I hired a poet and I started reading his poems, and then I started writing poems and going to readings, and the rest, as they say, was history. This poet guy was a typical condescending monkey boy who told me I was wasting my life at a desk job. The first poetry reading I went to see was Patrick Grizzell and Gene Avery. I showed them a couple of my poems in a bar afterwards, and they said they really liked them, but I remember Pat laughing and saying, "Don't quit your day job." So six months later, I quit and went to UCD full-time for 3 years. My boyfriend and I got married just so I could have his medical benefits. We were both atheists and considered marriage a religious institution, so we did it strictly for financial reasons. My "ring" was this copper thing we had found in the gutter and it was too big so it fell off my finger down the drain on our wedding nite. We had to keep from laughing aloud while the Nevada preacher kept going on and on about God this and God that. That same nite was the nite of the Exxon oil spill, so I think that was some kind of bad omen for our marriage.
When I attended UCD, I didn't want to major in English, because I had read a bunch of American and English lit in high school; plus the English classes were really huge, and the teachers were kind of anal retentive. I didn't need to learn how to write. I already knew how to write. I wanted to do something different, so I designed my own independent major called, "Intellectual History" which was a combination of Philosophy, Comparative Literature, English, History, Religious Studies and Psychology. Then I had to take a general education science class, and I wound up in a Physical Anthropology class studying evolution and monkey bones. The teacher said I got the highest grade on the final out of 200 students, so I thought, hmmm, maybe I'm good at this. So I immediately took an upper-division class in Primate Studies. All of the people in the class were graduate students and upper-division science majors, and I was scared shitless, thinking I was out of my element. But I was the only one who got an A+ in the class. My main anthro professor who had done a lot of fieldwork with Dian Fossey really encouraged me and tried to lure me into the major, but I think I was held back mainly by my fear of math. I took a Statistics class which nearly killed me because I had not had any math for ten years. I really loved studying evolution and animals though. I was fascinated by how you could learn so much by being a naturalist, by watching animal behavior and studying their anatomy, and seeing how they evolved over time and then drawing conclusions and applying them to humans. Science always seemed so straightforward compared to the Humanities, like trying to explicate Nietzsche. I actually have all the prerequisites to go to graduate school in Animal Behavior, and I just might one day. But I think I love creative writing too much to devote all my time to science. I was already beginning to publish poems while I was in college, and I was writing voraciously, and giving public readings. I spent the last few months in school writing an Honor's Thesis on Virigina Woolfe and Colette, comparing the ouvre of these early 20th-century women writers to the male vision. Most of the male writers were all doom and gloom, but women were just being "allowed" to publish their work, and I identified with all of their yearning and ability to see the beauty in a world dominated by two horrible world wars. I think "A Room of One's Own" was probably one of the most influential books I ever read because she said, "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." I could imagine myself as Virginia, being half-English myself, walking in the gardens of of the college, thinking of having a "room of my own" where I could write. I had spent my whole life, from age 16 to age 28 living with a man, who subconsciously dominated my world. He read science fiction and fantasy, so that was what I read for 10 years. School opened up a whole new world of literature for me, and gave me the confidence to strike out on my own. The week I graduated, my divorce was finalized, I finished my honor's thesis, my house sold in Davis, and I moved into my own little house in Sacto. I had no husband, no boyfriend, no job, no school. The first night in Oak Park, my two little dogs had fleas, and I didn't want them in the house, and I didn't want them outside barking all night, so I slept outside with them all night on a sleeping bag, looking at the stars and wondering how in the hell did I end up here?
Id: Well, I think you have gone on and on far too long, so I think we should end this interview here and save the next portion of your life (your wild "Colette period") for another time.
Ego: Well, you're the boss, and you're the one who always writes my best poems, so I'll trust your judgement, even tho' I am sure that I am the one who knows best. But can't we just go on a little bit longer?
Id: Look, I am the one who is supposed to be asking the questions. You are always getting us into trouble with your high falutin' ways and carrying on, and I say we stop now.

The strong relationship between Israel and the United States had long been a given, with past presidents from George Washington to Harry Truman affirming shared values and biblical foundations, but this bond has been weakening in recent years. Some say it's our current administration, while others point to a growing sentiment within some circles that says the people of Israel are no longer God's chosen people.
Our guest today is David Rubin, President of the Shiloh Israel Children's Fund and author of the book, The Islamic Tsunami: Israel And America In The Age Of Obama. Rubin is also the former mayor of Shiloh, Israel, and he'll join us for a lively discussion! Three great ways you can be a part of the conversation*:

Finding the best dry herb vape temperature for weed is very important. To a beginner, temperature settings may seem trivial; however, savvy vapers know better.
The reality is that vaping weed at specific temperatures not only changes the smoking experience, but alters the high as well. Considering how picky we are about our weed preferences, it's important for us to understand the best vape temperature for our needs.
Let's see what vaping is about and why temperature is important.
What is Vaping?
To understand the best dry herb vape temperature for weed, we need to see how it ties into the whole vaping process. We focus in this article on vaping dry herbs as opposed to THC infused vape e-liquids.
How Does Vaping Work?
Vaping is the best way to inhale weed – specifically because no weed gets inhaled. With combustion, we generate tons of hydrocarbons, chemicals and particles from the dry herb. Vaping takes those extras out of the equation, providing a direct bridge between ourselves and the THC.
The cannabinoids, terpenes and other compounds in the herb boil at a much lower temperature than combustion. Vapes take advantage of this. Instead of a flame, they use a heat element to generate a temperature high enough to boil the compounds.
Once boiled, these chemicals vaporize into an inhalable aerosol.
All this leaves behind is a chamber of browned weed. Since we inhale vaporized material rather than burnt plant matter, it offers a cleaner, smoother and – most importantly – safer experience.
What are the Benefits of Vaping?
Aside from discovering the best vape temperature for our strains and saving our lungs a lot of trouble, there are other great reasons to vape.
Vaping Uses Less Weed
Joints, bongs and pipes take a decent amount to completely fill, while cannabis edibles require a truckload of herb. Vaping is the golden ticket. Out of all the previous options, vapes use the least amount of dry herb.
Vaping is More Efficient
Anyone who's vaped knows that vaping makes you higher, faster, with less herb. This is because we get more THC in a single hit from a vape. When lit on fire, many of the cannabinoids and terpenes just evaporate, never to be inhaled.
This translates to lost potency when smoking. But since vapes only heat up enough to boil – but not evaporate – the compounds, we get every milligram the small bowl can muster.
Vaping is More Discreet
One of the biggest problems with weed is the smell it leaves behind. It can be a real pain to those around you and a dead giveaway about what you're doing.
While vapes do leave behind a mild scent, it's extremely short-lived. This lets people medicate almost anywhere without raising any alarms.
Vaping is More Convenient
Using weed always requires some tools. Lighters, rolling papers, pipes and bongs take more effort or are too cumbersome (you can't exactly light up a bong in public) to go out in public. Joint and pipe smokers might be able to take their weed outside, but not without letting the smell put a target on their backs.
Vapes require no extra tools – just the device and some dry herb. Many are tiny and easy to hid in purses or pockets, while most handheld models are small enough to hide effectively.
Other Cannabinoids & Their Benefits
THC isn't the only cannabinoid relevant to vaping. The impact of some additional ones dictates what you feel is the best vape temperature. Cannabidiol (CBD) Cannabigerol (CBG), cannabichromene (CBC), Cannabinol (CBN) and tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) all have different recreational and medical effects.
Although these substances occur in low concentrations (typically around 1% for most strains), they can make a substantial difference.
CBD is arguably the second most commonly-known cannabinoid, next to THC. Its lack of intoxicating effects, coupled with a myriad of health benefits, took consumers and patients by storm.
Most notably, research found promise for CBD as an effective treatment for severe epilepsy, resulting in the introduction of Epidiolex. Produced in the UK, this is the first CBD pharmaceutical drug.
Aside from anticonvulsant properties, CBD is known to inhibit the growth of tumors, reduce anxiety, improve sleep, treat pain and help with gastrointestinal issues – to name a few.
CBD's boiling point is 180˚C (356˚F).
CBG is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid. Even in its low concentration, it shows tremendous benefits. Some of these include treatment for glaucoma, inflammation, neurological degenerative diseases, cancer inhibition, and appetite stimulation.
CBG's boiling point is 52˚C (126˚F), giving it the lowest boiling point of all the four cannabinoids on our list. In fact, this compound will even vaporize long before THC or CBD.
Another underrated cannabinoid, CBC is also non-intoxicating. Although research into this is rather light, CBC shows promise in a lot of ways. From what we know so far, CBC may be an effective cancer-fighter, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, neuroprotectant, neurostimulant, and antidepressant. It's even effective at combating acne.
CBC has a boiling point of 220˚C (428˚F) – the highest on our list. Only high-temperature devices will be able to harness this compound.
Unlike CBG and CBC, CBN has intoxicating effects, just like THC; however, the intoxication is quite weak compared to the potency of THC. It does, however, promote mental sedation. As a result, it provides a relaxing experience for recreational users and helps with conditions like stress, insomnia, anxiety, and PTSD.
The boiling point of CBN is 185˚C (365˚F).
THCV is molecularly similar to THC, causing it to also induce intoxication; however, its other benefits radically differ from THC.
One notable difference is that THCV is an appetite suppressant, while THC tends to stimulate hunger. Medical users who suffer from nausea or appetite loss need to be careful not to use strains high in THCV (above 0.3%).
THCV also helps regulate blood sugar, calm anxiety, promote bone growth and mitigate Alzheimer's symptoms.
THCV's boiling point is the same as CBC's, at 220˚C (428˚F).
Cannabinoids & Terpenes Vape Temperature Chart
Due to its popularity, let's take moment to examine vaping CBD in more detail. As we've seen, CBD has some essential therapeutic benefits. More importantly, we now have documented cases of patients showing dramatic improvement with certain conditions after using CBD.
If you use cannabis for CBD's therapeutic purposes, then it's important to take note of this study from BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology. The study examined the impact of temperature difference on CBD vaporization.
They vaporized separate batches of CBD at 210oC (410oF) and 230oC (446oF). After repeating the experiment several times, they found that CBD yield was higher at 230oC.
The experiment also showed that simply adding a higher amount of CBD did nothing to improve yield, as it simply saturated the area and coagulated as resin in the vaporizer's balloon. This shows that temperature matters much more than dosage.
What we can learn is that, although CBD's boiling point is much lower, patients relying on CBD should set their vapes to 230oC (446oF) for maximum benefit.
A lot of smokers feel that terpenes determine the dry herb's flavour. While this is certainly true, it's also just the tip of the iceberg. Terpenes play a key role in the therapeutic and recreational effects of cannabis.
Terpenes are oily compounds found throughout the plant kingdom. Like cannabinoids, each terpene has a specific boiling point that vapers need to keep in mind.
B-caryophyllene is known to give dry herb a spicy flavor akin to black pepper. It's also highly beneficial against inflammation, depression, pain, anxiety, and cancer.
Caryophyllene's boiling point is 199oC (390oF).
Alpha-pinene provides a powerful flavor reminiscent of pine trees. Its benefits include fighting things like inflammation and asthma while supporting memory and increasing alertness.
Pinene boils at 155oC (311oF)
Myrcene gives certain plants a strong scent, such as with mangoes, basil or lemongrass; however, people particularly like it for its anti-cancer, sedative, analgesic, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory effects.
Myrcene vaporizes at 166oC (330.8oF).
Terpineol gives off a pine-like, floral, herbal aroma. It's also effective at causing sedation. At the same time, terpineol helps fight germs and cancer, while functioning as an antioxidant.
Terpineol evaporates at 217oC (422.6oF).
Limonene is most commonly found in citrus fruits, giving them their "citrusy" taste and smell. It also happens to helpful as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-cancer and metabolism booster.
Limonine vaporizes at 177oC (350.6oF).
Linalool has a distinct lavender aroma with a hint of spice. This terpene is particularly effective against epilepsy. Additionally, it fights bacteria, anxiety, and depression.
Linalool boils at 198oC (388.4oF).
Terpinolene's flavor is a mix of floral, citrus and pine. Its therapeutic benefits include fighting cancer, bacteria, and fungus, in addition to sedative and antioxidant properties.
Terpinolene vaporizes at 184oC (363.2oF).
Nerolidol's aromas are fruity and floral. It specializes in fighting microorganisms, such as fungus, parasites, and bacteria.
Nerolidol's boiling point is 122oC (251.6oF)
Ocimene has a rather complex aroma – wood-like and herbal, yet sweet. It has powerful applications against infections, fighting viruses, bacteria, and fungi as an antiseptic. Ocimene is also sought out for its decongestant properties.
Ocimene reaches a boiling state at 100oC (212oF)
Guaiol has a pine aroma similar to pinene. Research suggests that this compound can be harnessed as an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic.
Guaiol boils at the extremely low temperature of 92oC (197.6oF)
So What's the Best Dry Herb Vape Temperature?
This question is difficult to answer – mainly because the answer itself depends on individual needs. A temperature that one user enjoys can be too intense for another.
With this in mind, the question shouldn't be "what is the best vape temperature?" Rather, the real issue is "what is the best vape temperature for me?"
As we saw earlier, there are several cannabinoids at play that we don't know as much about. Each requires a certain minimum temperature to vaporize. Adjusting a vape's heat accordingly allows you to include or exclude certain compounds.
Below, we'll examine the temperature ranges for dry herb vaping, along with their recreational and therapeutic benefits.
157˚C (315˚F) to 180˚C (356˚F)
Ideal for a mild high that leaves users feeling productive and alert, but euphoric and relaxed.
This is essentially the bare minimum. Users who want the benefits of THC need a minimum of 157˚C (315˚F). By 180˚C (356˚F), CBD evaporates.
As a result, the high will consist of THC alone; or THC and CBD. CBG will also be present, considering we are long past its boiling point.
Ultimately, this low range is best for flavor and mild mental intoxication. Bodily effects or "couchlock" won't be an issue, so most people will still be able to function.
Best for moderate intoxication, increased sensations, mood-enhancement and relaxation without complete functional impairment.
At this point, there are some noticeable differences. First, the vapor will feel hotter and harsher. Second, flavor will still be good, but not the same quality as lower settings.
Most importantly, however, the addition of CBN will slightly increase the high, while causing physical sedation. This medium range is a good balance of cerebral effects and body high. It's still possible to get through the day after vaping at this temperature, but expect to feel at least slightly slowed down.
220˚C (428˚F) and Above
For strong intoxication, euphoria, sleep and relaxation
At this point, every relevant cannabinoid gets involved, bringing a slew of recreational experiences and therapeutic benefits. The most noticeable immediate difference is flavor and temperature. Taste will be comparatively muted and the vapor is quite harsh.
However, CBC and the intoxicating THCV boil, resulting in the most potent, sedating high a strain can offer. At this point, users become incapacitated by the high, making normal function very difficult.
At What Temperature Will All of the Weed be Fully Vaped?
As we've seen, cannabinoids and terpenes boil at different temperatures. If your vape isn't set to the appropriate heat level, some of these compounds will remain inert. Put simply, there's only one way to efficiently use up all of the weed in your chamber and get enough "bang for your buck".
The only way to obtain every possible drop of vapor is to ensure that all of the cannabinoids and terpenes vaporize. Achieving this requires you to vape at a temperature of 230oC (428oF). This just surpasses the boiling points of every compound while keeping the temperature safely below combustion levels.
Choosing the Right Strain vs. Choosing the Right Temperature
It's probably clear by now that vaping isn't for the faint of heart. A perfect, customized experience requires in-depth knowledge about compounds and boiling points.
But frankly, there's an easier way to find the right balance. While vaping at different temperatures will affect the strength and nuances of your high, the biggest driver in this regard is strain.
Every strain exhibits its own unique behaviors – even if they're minor. Some hit hard, even at low temperatures, while other require a lot of heat for a satisfying high. Others take effect quickly, but some are delayed ("creeper weed").
Then of course we have the uplifting/sedating effects of different strains. While boiling certain terpenes and cannabinoids may add specific effects, the overall nature of the dry herb is what dictates your experience. This is where the whole "indica/sativa" categorization comes from (although it's actually not scientifically valid).
In the end, if you vape a strain that's known to be primarily sedating or uplifting, then you'll experience those effects accordingly. Temperature will have minimal impact.
The only instance in which temperature should really matter is if individuals use cannabis for treating a specific medical condition. In this case, choosing a strain with the right terpenes and cannabinoid levels is important, but so is vaporizing it at the correct temperature to harness these compounds.

Getting the most out of benefits enrollment
A lackadaisical approach to benefits enrollment could leave you short on coverage or end up costing you more than it should. Gathering information and making time to thoroughly consider your options and needs can help ensure you're getting the best value from your employer's benefits package.
Approach this year's open enrollment with these tips from the experts at Colonial Life in mind:
- Take life changes into account. A major event like a birth or marriage makes you eligible to adjust your benefits between enrollment periods, but there are many other factors that may affect your coverage needs. For example, you may not bother with dental coverage for a newborn, but once that child has some teeth and is mobile, it's a good idea to add coverage in the event a fall damages a tooth.
- Be conscious of changes. It's quite common to allow your benefits to renew automatically when the enrollment period rolls around. This can create problems as plans and coverages often change from year to year. Deductible amounts, office visit co-pays and even categories of coverage can shift from one year to the next. Even if there aren't changes to the coverage, there may be a new pricing structure or additions to coverage that could benefit you.
- Dedicate some time. When signing up for benefits for the first time, most people spend at least a little time reviewing each plan option. If you have your premiums deducted from your paycheck automatically, you probably don't give a lot of thought to your benefits, especially if you're relatively healthy. Open enrollment is the time to give them more than a passing thought.
A survey by Colonial Life showed 69% of employees spend less than 60 minutes learning about their benefits choices, but that limited time commitment can ultimately affect overall job satisfaction.
"This can be a huge problem for both employees and their employers because a lack of engagement with the benefits program leads to lower morale and higher turnover," said Steven Johnson, vice president of enrollment solutions at Colonial Life.
Instead of a cursory flip through the materials, dedicate some time to thoroughly review all the information and make notes about areas you have questions.
- Discuss your options. Benefits can be complicated, and there are a lot of terms and jargon in the insurance world that can make it hard to understand exactly what your benefits will cover. That's why it's a good idea to sit down with a knowledgeable benefits counselor to discuss your family and personal financial situation.
Technology may be king for many aspects of life, but the survey found just 11% of employees name the internet as the place they turn to learn about benefits during enrollment each year. However, 76% of employees turn to humans including HR professionals, coworkers, family and friends.
There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution for benefits, but a one-on-one counseling session can help simplify the entire benefits process. A private consultation may help you understand how each benefit election impacts your paycheck, as well as simplifying complex benefit concepts, answering your questions and walking you through the enrollment process.

Yesterday, Warner Bros. Animation released an official look at the Thundercats that will be shown on The Cartoon Network and, today, series producer Ethan Spaulding spoke with MTV Splashpage about some of the details of the new show.
In addition to acknowledging that the new series will play up the anime roots of the Thundercats, Spaulding discussed updating the characters. Tygra, specifically, he singled out as having an updated backstory.
"The consensus was that he was the boring guy of the old show," he explains, "so we wanted to make him more interesting and gave him another dimension. But don't worry — he still has the whip."
Other updates include making Lion-O younger and Panthro older, though Spaulding promises that all changes will be organic to the new storyline. What's more, we will be seeing Snarf, WilyKit and WilyKat, though it may be some time before they're unveiled.

Sampson, Markos and Tarn learn how the cotton seed is separated from the lint with a cotton gin, Frogmore Plantation, LA.
A Cypress swamp. We hear there are lots of alligators, water moccasins and snapping turtles! I think we'll be staying on the pavement!
The McFerrin boys size up dinner - crawfish boiled with Cajun spices, corn on the cob and potatoes. Shipley's donuts for dessert.
Markos' journal:
March 31 Alexandria, LA Today we had donuts for breakfast. After breakfast we got a picture with the people that invited us into their house for one night. Then we got on the bikes and rode to a Goodwill and bought a long sleeve and a hoody for me. We left behind my old long sleeve and hoody. Then we got on the road again.
April 4 Today we had grits with honey for breakfast. After breakfast we played Lego and we built lots of things and each set was in a different bag. We did lots of different sets and they had lots of people and some sets had horses and some sets had little boats. There was a bag of sharks.

Gibson TB-11 # no number
"This model is alive with flash and color and yet is not gaudy", proclaimed Gibson's Catalog X of 1936 in describing the TB-11. Introduced in 1931, style 11 used pearloid, blue paint, and silkscreened designs to dress up what was one of the company's less-expensive banjo offerings. Selling for $50, half the price of the least expensive Mastertone model, the style 11 proved to be quite popular and remained in production through the early 1940s. Besides lending "color" and "flash", the pearloid and paint provided Gibson with a way to use cosmetically flawed wood which might not have been suitable for more expensive models.
Like many style 11 banjos, this example in not marked with a factory order number or serial number. It remains in a remarkable state of preservation including its original "red line" Geib and Schaefer #511 case, two-footed bridge, and calfskin head. There is probably no more pristine example of a TB-11 in existence; until 2011 the banjo remained in the original owner's family.

Gladinet Cloud Success Stories
Private, Secure File Sharing
Rob Bosch, iPremise
We feel pretty good about where the product is headed and the new features. The management capabilities now are pretty strong and definitely a good fit for an enterprise operation. We just rolled out a 70-user implementation that went really well. We used it to replace a SharePoint site. We have another customer that has several sites that we've moved to the cloud, replacing their SharePoint/Dropbox solution. I have several customers expecting to move away from using our onsite server package and moving everything to the cloud. We also have some larger, multi-site implementations which worked exactly as I planned. We save money on server replacements and they get a great solution."
Chris Kacoroski, Northshore School District
We had 6800 PCs and Macs that needed reliable remote access to our file servers. Gladinet Cloud Enteprise allowed us to solve that problem and create a secure, private file sharing solution for our 23,000 faculty and students who were struggling with email and USB drives. The transition has been completely seamless and I am very impressed!"
Ed Carter, YHMAN
YHMAN provides a Shared Community Cloud service in the UK for the University and College educational sector. We had an urgent need to provide a secure file sharing and cloud access platform. Gladinet Cloud Enterprise has enabled us to offer each university tenancy access to our cloud storage service while authenticating users against the appropriate university active directory and allowing them to collaborate easily."
Ed McGuian, Merit Group
I was asked to provide the equivalent to a file server for different departments in the company where they could place documents that needed to be shared among members of the department and also with senior management. We don't have a Windows Server Admin person within the company and I am the IT department so I wanted to look at something with the following characteristics:
Provide a Windows Explorer interface and integration with desktop applications - what the user base is used to.
Useable across multiple locations ( we have offices in Jamaica and US )
Able to offer a simple backup solution for files on users desktop or laptop computers - can't get users to manage their backups and having their My Documents folder synch to the cloud is very powerful
Provide a good browser interface for casual access from home or road
Good pricing structure with no annual contracts or other methods of lock-in
The ability to synch to a folder on a windows server is powerful - I created a document repository folder which I shared via Gladinet, giving me a local copy of the data ( which management liked ).
I liked the drag and drop to the browser for file upload
File revision tracking
I took a few days to look over the various Cloud offerings and found yours to be the best for a Small Business application like ours - really trying to stay away from Windows Servers and Active Directory."

The first diamonds "certified" as mined and cut in Canada were recently released to the Canadian market, says Martin Irving, director of Diamond Projects for the Government of the Northwest Territories. There also are plans to sell them in the Japanese and U.S. markets. "We've done basic research and found that selling it as a North American diamond has an appeal," Irving says. He noted that many Canadian consumers also expressed interest in them for patriotic reasons.
Each "certed" diamond includes a notice explaining that the "diamond is a natural Canadian Arctic diamond that was mined, cut, and polished in the Northwest Territories." Irving says the Canadian government has developed a stringent monitoring system that follows the diamond from the mine through the factory. In addition, all of the diamonds will be "Gemprinted," using technology from the diamond fingerprinting company that's also based in Canada.
Although the certificates are voluntary and will apply only to a small number of the diamonds currently mined in the Northwest Territories, this small-scale program has received an unusual amount of publicity. The New York Times recently ran the story on its front page, implying that the certification was Canada's reaction to the "conflict diamond" issue. Soon afterwards, the Boston Globe followed up with a similar report. But Irving denies a link. "We announced this prior to conflict diamonds becoming an issue," he says. "It has a certain advantage regarding conflict diamonds, but it's not the objective of the program." And he adds that, despite the article, Canada would never openly promote that as a selling point. "Here in the Northwest Territories, we have a history of consumer boycotts with the fur issue," he says. "The more you get the 'conflict diamond' issue in the consumer's mind, the whole industry suffers. That's not something we are pushing in any way."

Set-Up Your Recurring Gift Today. Select "Building Fund" When Making Your Gift
It's Time To Widen The Welcome
Four years ago, our church embarked on an initial round of building repairs. There is still work to be done in a building as old as ours but the major project still on our list is to make the building accessible to everyone.
This is important because it reflect our values and is an expression of who we are as a church.
To do that we must:
- Repair the plaza in front of the building.
- Create a better ramp that meets code.
- Install a lift.
- Create accessible restrooms that are also gender-neutral.
- Create sanctuary space appropriate for wheelchairs.
- Purchase a hearing assistance system.
In order to make the building accessible to all people we need to raise $110,000. To do that will require everyone who values our commitment to radical inclusion to do their part.
We are asking everyone to make a pledge to this project. You can spread your pledge out over 12, 24, or 36 months. We can borrow the money up front but without your generosity we will not be able to make the payments without reducing the ministry of the church.
We are excited to honor Miss Blanche Reynolds and her sister Dorothy by rebuilding the plaza in front of our church and naming it for them, in particular Blanche's nearly one century of membership in this church.
The broken concrete, uneven steps, missing handrails, etc., make getting into our building a hazard for everyone, but particularly for those with mobility issues. Under our proposed plan, the plaza will be restored in honor of Blanche and Dorothy Reynolds in honor of their incredible work and dedication to our church. We hope the space will serve as a point of pride in our neighborhood.
Your support of this effort makes this possible.

oh macro
yesterday, sometime after dinner, my throat began to hurt. then I started feeling achier and achier, cruddy all over. I felt so awful, I went to bed without taking a bath, even though I had bought myself some favorite Lush bath items to use after we went to the movies.
I knew I needed that hour or so of sleep more than I needed a bath. and it was good. I woke up feeling and my throat felt way less sore, and I didn't feel quite as bad, though I still feel run down/ cruddy.
(it's just a virus. more than likely a cold. M reported also feeling somewhat cruddy today.)
at some point this afternoon, I looked up from my perch on the sunroom couch and saw a bunny in the backyard. I adore bunnies and after making sure everybody in the house saw the rabbit, I went downstairs to get my best telephoto lens (that also happens to be a macro lens) and snuck outside to get some photos.
I was successful in my first round of stealth photo taking, but when I moved to get a better angle, the rabbit bolted. and that's when I realized it had been a really long time since I played with (what is still) my favorite macro lens.
(I do technically have a m43 macro-ish lens now - the 42.5mm YI lens. I like that one a lot, too, but the Tamron 90mm still outshines it for floral macro.)
oh my goodness.
it still surprises me that I forget how much I love certain things. like macro. I don't use the 90mm lens that often bc it is so large and heavy, but wow. I continue to love it best of all.
(especially flowers. always flowers. it's the colors and the texture and the imperfections. add in some buttery smooth bokeh and I am in heaven.)
so yeah. wow.
still feel kind of cruddy, but have a totally lifted mood/ spirit.
(I'm going to go throw some more of these photos to my Patreon peeps. they make great digital wallpapers. I still haven't quite figured out where to go with the Patreon, but as long as my sousters want to support me, I'll keep it in play.)
