Punahou Carnival "O" Men

The "O" Men were very gracious about allowing us to sell our poi products at the Punahou Carnival. Of course, we gave them 100% of the proceeds. But it was a lot of fun, gave us good exposure, and was for a good cause.

We took Kiko for a ride in the car (all he does is sleep in the back), but it was clearly too short for him. His arthritis means he doesn't like to jump down anyway, but he just sat in the car, giving me stink eye. August, 2004

This is aged Scottish | Kobe topside, frozen, and then cut paper thin. We pack it on special grease proof, food-grade paper. It's delicious in shabu shabu --- and we have a good customer who eats in raw, as carpaccio.
Carole - Our Guernsey Cow

Carole, a pedigree Guernsey Cow, is our "house" cow --- providing us with all of our milk. So much milk that we feed the excess to our Tamworth pigs. We have just started to make butter and (soon) cheese from Carole's "output." And she treats us to the best milk shakes in Worcestershire, if not all of the West Midlands.
Kiko in the Driver's Seat

We just came home from the grocery store, and Kiko didn't want to get out of the car. So we left him the back seat, with the back door opened. About ten minutes later, he'd moved to the front seat, where he took charge. Here's Marjorie (seen in reflection) taking a photo of Kiko the driver.

We've purchaed a caravan trailer to provide temporary housing for our two new colleagues from Poland. It was quite a drama getting it down the Whitecroft driveway. The gentleman from the caravan company came out a couple of days ago to look at the driveway and he said it was "fine." There were some tense moments, particularly with our neighbour. Here are the guys trying to find the electrical socket.

It does happen from time to time, so don't feel bad if your dance floor is empty! There's a million reasons why people don't dance, but here's a few I've noticed over the years. – The dance floor is too big. (Most) people don't like being watched when busting a move. – It's too bright. Again, people don't like being watched when busting a move. – They haven't seen each other in years. When you have relatives & friends coming from afar, they want to catch up with everyone. – They're not drunk enough. Once the liquid courage is flowing […]
Can I See Your Playlist?January 18, 2019
Every event is totally different, so we don't have playlists. All clients provide us with what genres they want throughout the night, and sometimes they do give us request lists. Most of the time we just go by what's working with the crowd!
Why Can't My Request Be Next?January 11, 2019
There's a few answers for this. – Someone has requested before you, no worries, we'll get to your song as soon as we can! – It's a totally opposite genre than what we're currently playing. We strive on making our music sound seamless! If you requested rap and we're playing country, we have to find songs that can get us there. Sometimes this takes 3-4 songs to accomplish and then we'll get to your request! – We have to download it. Being licensed means we have to obtain our music legally. Mobile phone reception/wifi sucks in some buildings so it […]
DO WE NEED TO PROVIDE A REQUEST LIST?November 9, 2018
No you don't, but you're more than welcome to! Keep in mind that an hour of music is 15-20 songs. So for 4 hours of music we can play about 80 songs.
DO YOU DO SONG MIXES?November 2, 2018
Yes we do! You choose your fav songs and what order you want them in, and we create a mix uniquely for you. These can be provided before hand so you can practice before the big day! You can find examples on the DJ Services page.
WHAT KIND OF MUSIC DO YOU HAVE?October 26, 2018
We have popular music from the 50's to now, our library includes over 4,000 songs. Country, Top 40, Rock, Swing, Jazz, Classical and even Acadian hits! If your music style is more underground, be sure to send a request list to make sure we have your jams! We can download on the fly (as long as there is reception or wifi) but the tunes must be available on iTunes as we are licensed through AVLA and must obtain our music from authorized sources.
WE WANT THE DJ TO EMCEE, WHAT INFO DO THEY NEED?October 19, 2018
Heads up, DJ's love being in the limelight, that's why we do what we do! But not all people enjoy a mic in their face and hundreds of people looking at them. If you're family and friends aren't public speakers, we can help! The more info you can give us the better! A TIMELINE is necessary. Exact times aren't needed (I've yet to attend a wedding that stays exactly on schedule) but the order of events is important to keep things rolling. Ex. Bridal Party Entrance, Dinner, Speeches, Cake Cutting, Shoe Game, First Dances, Bouquet & Garter… If you're having […]
DO YOU PROVIDE OTHER SERVICES?October 12, 2018
I have stepped in at numerous events to help out with bartending, floral arrangements, dress hemming… lol, but none of those are services offered, just want to help when I can! However you can add other services onto your package such as a photo booth for your cocktail hour! Keep your guests busy and entertained while you're whisked away for photos! You can also have a song mix created just for you with all of your fav songs to boogie to in the spotlight, either with your new hubby or your dad or your bridesmaids! Find details on these extras […]
SHOULD WE TIP THE DJ?October 5, 2018
100% not mandatory. It is entirely up to you. If your DJ went above and beyond expectations and you want to compensate them for that, then go ahead!
WHERE DO WE PUT THE DJ?September 28, 2018
I get asked this question A LOT and I'm thankful when people do! My answer, closest to the action. Why? Multiple reasons! – If we're on the other side of the room, we will have to shoot the sound over all of your guests (and grandma isn't a fan of that!) – If we're in a closet or behind a curtain or a wall and can't see what's happening, cues for entrances will be missed, and we won't know if anyone is dancing or not! – It's easier for us to interact with your guests and makes us engage with […]

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. � Everything remains on schedule for Carl Crawford, who will rejoin the Red Sox and should start the series opener in Baltimore on Monday.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Everything remains on schedule for Carl
Crawford, who will rejoin the Red Sox and should start the series
opener in Baltimore on Monday.
"He didn't swing the bat great, but he was real healthy, which
is perfect," manager Terry Francona said of Crawford's two-game
rehab stint with Pawtucket. "He got some at-bats out of the way.
The timing at the plate, hopefully it will come quick. He'll be
ready to go tomorrow. There are no issues physically. He felt
really good, so that's great."
Crawford went 1-for-5 in his two rehab starts for the PawSox on
Friday and Saturday.
"He's one of our prime players," David Ortiz said. "It's
definitely always a plus to when he comes in to contribute."
Francona said he did not plan to ease Crawford back into the
"Carl really likes to play every day," the manager said. "He's
in great shape. He's worked his [butt] off."
We'll see. If he needs it, we will, but I don't know that he'll
need it."
Crawford's return presents the Red Sox with a minor dilemma when
it comes to playing time for the corner outfield spots. Josh
Reddick has been on fire since taking over for Crawford in left,
and Francona hinted that he may continue to start Reddick in right,
even when Crawford returns.
"When he's hot like that, the kid's got to play. It's kind of
like [Jed] Lowrie earlier in the year," said Francona. "You're not
doing your team a service. He's been terrific. And to be honest
with you, until we're there, I don't know how to make that work
perfectly. We're just going to try to win. Whoever we think can
help us win, we'll play."
Lester back next week
Jon Lester will return to the Red Sox rotation on July 26, when
Boston hosts the Royals at Fenway Park.
Lester is scheduled to throw three side sessions of varying
length Monday, Wednesday and either Friday or Saturday in
preparation for the start. He will not make a rehab start.
The lefty has been on the disabled list since July 6 with a
left-latissimus strain. He was eligible to return as soon as
Friday, but the Red Sox wanted to be cautious.
"I think he was actually aggravated. He wanted to pitch Friday.
So I think that's good news for us that he must feel good,"
Francona said. "But we need to give him a chance where he can go
out and not be stuck on 60 pitches in his first comeback."
With the Red Sox planning to give every starter an extra day
with Thursday's day off, that Tuesday start against Kansas City
would coincide with Andrew Miller's turn in the rotation. It's
likely, though, that Boston will activate Lester that day and
option Kyle Weiland after the rookie starts the night before.
If Lester does in fact return on the 26th, he would have missed
three starts - not a bad outcome, all things considered.
"I think we caught it quick enough where he didn't throw another
inning or two and do some more damage," said Francona.
No word on Ortiz appeal
As they prepared to travel to Baltimore for a three-game set
starting Monday, the Red Sox had not received any word from Major
League Baseball on Ortiz's appeal of his suspension.
"You're kind of in the dark on those things," Francona said.
"They really don't call me, for sure. It just kind of happens. It's
not up to us. It's when they want to do it."
Ortiz hinted that he might hear something from MLB either late
Sunday or early Monday. MLB.com's Brittany Ghiroli reported that
Ortiz and the Orioles' Kevin Gregg will probably see their
suspensions trimmed to three games, starting Monday.
Ortiz reiterated that he didn't expect any carryover from the
teams' last series, even if he can control only his own
"Hopefully not. MLB is paying attention to all that stuff," he
said. "I'm not a pitcher. I can't tell you anything about that. I
don't throw the ball. Hopefully they'll be smart and put that away
and play the game the way it's supposed to be played."
When Ortiz eventually does have to sit out, Francona might take
advantage of the opportunity to get some of his regulars a half-day
off by playing them at designated hitter.

The MIT Sloan Management Review has published Donald Norman's paper 'Designing Waits That Work' (available for $6.50).
"Designers at restaurants, theme parks and elsewhere have investigated how to make waiting in line more pleasant. What they have learned has profound implications for all managers."
This fascinates me – I have built up a little collection of images related to waiting in line. I intend to read Norman's first paper entitled 'The Psychology of Waiting Lines' (which is freely available). There are sections on "Variations of basic waiting lines" (including triage, categorization of needs, and self-selection of queues) and "Deliberate Chaos."
"At some point, every manager has had to tell someone to wait. We all have to wait sometimes. It's a simple matter of timing and resources. Whenever two systems interact, one is invariably ready before the other. In the factory, this disparity can lead to stockpiles of goods or bottlenecks. When people are involved, it can give rise to inefficiency and anger. This is no good for customers or employees. But the psychological impact of waits can be managed, and studies in design show us how to do it.
My introduction to design started with my studies of fundamental principles of interaction to enhance the use of technology Now, as I teach and consult on the applications of these principles to business, I apply them to many aspects of customer experience.
In places where waits are required, these principles can not only make waiting more pleasant but can also make it feel like not waiting at all. Sometimes inducing a wait can improve the customer experience. When waits are inevitable, the research shows, the goal should be to optimize the experience for both customers and employees, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction and reducing employee stress and turnover. What this research has revealed can help managers in many situations…"

Hello guys! Have I ever told you how much I appreciate you guys? Well if I haven't I am telling you now. You are my inspiration and the reason for which I can do what I like in life and why I made my passion for fashion my profession. Couldn't be here without you and today I am taking a moment to thank to all of you that follow me and write such nice words about my work, even constructive criticism I appreciate.
This is why I am trying to evolve more and more each day and trying to provide you great quality pictures of great content. I have been eager to shoot a post like this one in a sun flower field for such a long time now and yesterday when I was finally ready to do it I saw that there weren't many left, actually almost all the fields we've passed by were already ready for harvest and no more flowers left. But maybe there is someone up there who loves me and we have found this small field that had still some beautiful late flowers left. The smile came back to my face, I made myself a wheat and flowers from the field crown and I was ready for 'harvest'. I had to wear something to match the beautiful scenery and I chose this bohemian Shein dress that I would like to have on every possible colour. I almost always take the time to be thankful when I shoot my outfits for the beautiful live I was given and especially when I get to shoot in such a beautiful corner of this amazing planet.
PS: This outfit and scenery reminded me of a moment when I was little and I had to play the part of 'Spring' in a kinder-garden celebration and my mother sewed me dry snowdrops on my tulle skirt. Yesterday I felt like 'Summer', a late summer ready for harvest and my mother was also there by my side and I am thankful also for this. 🙂
I was wearing:
Shein long camel dress

By Brian Chappatta
(Bloomberg Opinion) --Invesco Ltd.'s decision to buy OppenheimerFunds from Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co. proves that opposites attract — at least when it comes to strategies in the $3.9 trillion U.S. municipal-bond market.
First, the rationale for the $5.7 billion transaction: Active management is losing out to passive, low-fee indexing products, and the remaining stock and bond pickers need to consolidate to stay afloat. Invesco's deal, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2019, is supposed to yield about $475 million in cost-savings over two years. It's the latest move by the Atlanta-based company, which earlier this year closed a $1.2 billion acquisition of exchange-traded funds from Guggenheim Partners. OppenheimerFunds has large stock funds that invest globally and in the emerging markets.
It may be an uphill sell for investors. As Bloomberg News reported, recent efforts by asset managers to grow through mergers haven't turned out to be immediate success stories. And going at it alone isn't working well either: Franklin Resources Inc. was downgraded in June by Moody's Investors Service, which cited "competition with passive products." It was the first cut to a single-A asset manager's rating in five years.
One area where Invesco and OppenheimerFunds are well known — and which has proved more resilient than others to passive investing — is in municipal bonds. In particular, they command a large share of the high-yield tax-exempt market. Invesco's fund is the second largest overall, at about $9.2 billion, while OppenheimerFunds's is sixth, at $5.9 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The sheer size is about where the similarities end, though. When it comes to tax-exempt bonds with juicy yields, investors for years were left with a binary choice: load up on Puerto Rico debt, or avoid it if you can.
OppenheimerFunds chose the first strategy. On first glance, it seems to have paid off: the Oppenheimer Rochester High Yield Municipal Fund, with the ticker ORNAX, produced an annualized return of 8.3 percent over the past five years, better than 98 percent of its Bloomberg peers. This year, as fixed-income markets have slumped worldwide, the fund is up 7.8 percent, besting 97 percent of competitors. It helps that Puerto Rico bonds have rebounded in 2018 from record-low levels.
That doesn't quite capture the whole OppenheimerFunds picture though. I wrote about the firm in December 2015, before Puerto Rico started defaulting in earnest. At the time, 10 of its 20 muni funds had at least a 15 percent stake in junk-rated Puerto Rico, including more than 35 percent in funds that were deemed state-specific offerings for Maryland and Virginia residents. Those were liquidated earlier this year. Both lost money in 2017 even though their peers gained broadly — presumably because Puerto Rico bond prices plunged in the wake of Hurricane Maria.
It's possible that some of those state-specific offerings would have disappeared anyway as part of the transaction. Many details remain unknown (at least publicly), including how the branding will work. For muni investors, the specifics will be worth monitoring because if Invesco and OppenheimerFunds pooled assets from their two high-yield portfolios, they'd come within striking distance of the $16.8 billion Nuveen High Yield Municipal Bond Fund, run by John Miller.
A simple combination of the Invesco and OppenheimerFunds portfolios might be a nonstarter, given the historical difference in strategy. The Invesco fund, run by Mark Paris and others, has long been a player in so-called project finance deals — think bonds for a nitrogen fertilizer plant in southeastern Iowa or a Louisiana wood-pellet facility. That sort of investing requires site visits and a comprehensive financial analysis of the companies backing the deals. It's an entirely different exercise to estimate what Puerto Rico's general obligation pledge is worth and the odds of Congress changing bankruptcy laws. For what it's worth, both have large holdings of tobacco securities, the frequently traded segment of the otherwise illiquid market.
Regardless of what happens as part of the transaction, the combination of Invesco and OppenheimerFunds will remain a powerhouse in the tax-exempt market. Invesco Chief Executive Officer Martin Flanagan told Bloomberg News that he's convinced that active funds will continue to play a critical role in the portfolios of retail and institutional customers.
"Investors are looking for a broad range of ways to have us meet their outcomes," Flanagan said. That looks to certainly be the case for munis if not necessarily for the rest of the market.

After a solid early start SMU crumbled as Arkansas scored twice in a five minute span. As momentum appeared to be in the Mustangs' favor, Arkansas' Beth Stratton took chip shot from 35 yards out that dropped just under the crossbar and out of SMU goalkeeper Courtney Webb's reach to give the Razorback's a 1-0 lead 18 minutes into the game.
Still stunned, Kelly Anders put Arkansas up 2-0 with the team's second shot of game in the 23rd minute after she tapped in a cross from Jeri Ann Okoro who broke off on a Razorback counter attack down the right flank.
Late in the half, SMU regained its confidence as a late flurry of shots and corners occurred, ending with sophomore Amanda Burgardt getting a breakaway with under a minute left in the half. Unfortunately for the Mustangs, the shot was just off mark, missing high.
Down two goals to start the second half, the Mustangs still looked the aggressor. In the 66th minute SMU appeared to regain the momentum as senior Mallory Baum ripped a shot off the crossbar that dropped to freshman Rikki Clarke who punched in the rebound for her first goal in her first game as a Mustang. Less than a minute later, sophomore Jessica Bartol hit a shot that was wide right as SMU continued to put pressure on the Arkansas backline. Wave after wave came, but the Mustangs were unable to find the equalizer.
"I think the thing that we realized is that controlling a game for 85 minutes isn't good enough," said SMU Head Coach Brent Erwin. "You have to control the game for 90 minutes. I'd say for 85 minutes, that was some of the best soccer I've seen SMU play since I've been here. We kept possession, we created chances, it just wasn't our night in front of goal. We also made some uncharacteristic mistakes that cost us."
SMU finished the second half outshooting the Razorbacks 12-5, and recorded a nine shot advantage for the game.
"I told the team that 90% of what we did tonight was fantastic," Erwin said. "Ninety percent of what we did tonight will win us a lot of games. We have a long season ahead of us. We learned a lot, but unfortunately we learned it at the expense of a result tonight."
SMU looks to regroup Monday as the team hosts Stephen F. Austin. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Westcott Field in Dallas.

text: Rom the Underappreciated Today, November 12, is the 61st birthday of none other than Max Grodénchik. If you're a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine fan, you surely know him, even if you don't know his name. He's the actor who brought Rom, the series' -- and arguably the franchise's -- greatest character to life. If you're scratching your head and asking "Who's Rom?" to yourself, you're forgiven. Rom started life as the comic relief sidekick (and brother) to the series' main comic relief character, untrustworthy Ferengi bar-owner Quark, after all. Over the course of the show's seven-year run, however, Rom quietly grew in importance. Each year, he revealed more layers and became a nuanced character that was far more than the fool he was often treated like. He might even have saved the universe once or twice, as well. Pretty good for a guy who wasn't even considered worthy enough to run his brother's bar when he first appeared, as seen in this scene from *Star Trek: Deep Space Nine'*s "The Nagus" (Season 1, episode 11). Click through the gallery above to learn more about the many faces of our favorite Ferengi, from Rom the Labor Leader to Rom... the Lover.Rom the Labor Leader Most Deep Space Nine fans remember Rom for his mechanical ability or gentle demeanor, but often forget his essential contributions to the labor movement on the station, where he started a workers' rights movement. Rom's actions in Season 4's "Bar Association" led to the unionizing of workers in Quark's bar, and ultimately a happy ending with improved working conditions for all involved. Plus, he taught Trek fans about the value of collective bargaining, which isn't something you can say about James T. Kirk.Rom the Strategic Thinker What's that, you say? You want more? Okay, then what about the time Rom was the one who came up with a plan to create a whole new type of space-mine (don't ask) to protect a strategically-important area of the galaxy from invaders? Starfleet's top technicians were stumped on how to make it work, but Rom managed to gracelessly stumble onto exactly the correct solution -- and on his wedding day, no less.Rom the Ambassador Time travel to oddly familiar eras of Earth culture is a staple of Star Trek, and Rom too ended up stranded on 1960s Earth in Season 4's "Little Green Men." Watch at the way in which Rom quickly sizes up the situation, makes the connection about the language barrier, and sets up Quark to realize how best to take advantage of the situation. Lesser aliens may have overreacted -- Nog, I'm looking at you (although, to be fair, that was how he normally acted) -- but Rom kept it calm and only slightly confused.Rom the Faithful Companion Admittedly, there were times that Rom didn't seem like the sharpest tool in the box -- just look at his inability to comprehend what Quark is telling him in this scene from Season 6's "Profit and Lace" -- but that never stopped him from following his heart. Loyal to a fault, he always supported Quark in whatever hairbrained scheme he had concocted, even if it meant crawling around ventilation shafts throughout the station. That's just what a brother should do, isn't it?Rom the Lover Yes, that's right: Rom got married. Admittedly, that fact may come as a slight surprise watching his initial attempt to woo his future wife, Leeta, in this scene from Season 5's "Doctor Bashir, I Presume?," but come on: Look at his smile. How could you say no to that smile? (Just don't focus too much on his teeth.) Sure, he was a mechanical, strategy and technical genius, but when it came to love, Rom had no guile, no hidden agenda -- which made him that little bit more lovable as a result.Rom the Foodie A little-commented-upon fact about Rom: He was oddly unafraid of new culinary adventures. Take, for example, this scene from Season 5's "The Assignment." While many people -- myself sadly included -- may be squeamish about trying out new cuisines for the first time, Rom's adoration for his boss, (the human) Chief O'Brien, meant that he was going to eat the same breakfast as his hero, even if it meant venturing into the realm of human food for the first time. His willingness to try new things was always admirable, and more reminiscent of a Star Fleet officer than a traditional Ferengi.Rom the Inspiration Even when Rom wasn't around, he inspired others. Take a look at the way in which Nog cites his father as integral in his decision to cast aside tradition and join Starfleet in this scene from Season 3's "Heart of Stone" for proof. Yes, this may seem like a condemnation of Rom, but two things should be borne in mind: First, that families never manage to appreciate each other properly; and secondly, that Nog was wrong. By the end of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Rom hadn't just used his skills to become an integral part of the space station's staff, he hadn't just found love and gotten married; he'd also been named as ruler of his home planet, and all because of the very reasons that Nog put him down in this scene. For once, a character ended up being rewarded for being a good person (well, Ferengi) -- or maybe he'd just been playing a particularly long game all the time.Rom the Unreliable Stool Pigeon Of course, just because Rom wanted to do the right thing didn't mean that he was always able to get it done. Take a look at this scene from Season 2's "Necessary Evil," where his less-than-perfect recall stood in the way of helping Constable Odo track down the man who attacked his brother. Mind you, there's an (unlikely) alternate reading of this; after all, if Quark died, then Rom stood to inherit everything he owned. But standing in the way of the investigation, therefore giving the would-be assassin more chance to strike again, wasn't Rom's style. (Or was it?)Rom the Musician As if all of that wasn't enough, Rom even had a little musical talent. Okay, he had very little musical talent, but admit it: When it comes to versions of "The Lady Is The Tramp," this is a pretty memorable one. Max Grodénchik, over seven years, you made Rom one of the most memorable characters in television science-fiction (if not one of the most tuneful). Happy birthday, Mr. Grodénchik. It's surely only a matter of time before Earth makes you its Grand Nagus, as well.

All of us need money, sometimes more sometimes less. However, work can be hard to find or you might not have time for a regular job. This is what WorkPilots is for. It's an application that brings short-term work to your mobile phone.
WorkPilots makes finding work easier than ever. Browse and apply for tasks with only a couple of clicks, earn money and show everyone what you can do. You only do as much work as you want and whenever it suits you.
Each task has a fixed payment and you will also receive feedback about your task from the orderer. All the tasks you do are stored in your profile and you can use the history as proof of your work experience. The application also handles all contracts and taxes for you.
Find your first gig today!
When you choose the role of the worker, you will see open opportunities based on the location, distance, and interests you specify on your profile. If you have enabled notifications in your app, you'll also receive a notification when a suitable task is published.
Therefore, make sure that when you register, you have entered the required information - including a bank account number, address, distance you are willing to travel to perform tasks and your tax rate. You can also choose what type of jobs you want to do from a list of task categories. In the beginning, you might want to choose all possible task categories, just to see what is available. There is also a "Select all toggle" which you can use to register for all task types easily and don't have to click all the categories separately.
Remember to add a good picture, description of yourself (age and education, for example) and your skills, phone number, and email. The orderer might be more hesitant to choose a worker whose description, image and contact information are missing from their profile!
By opening a task and clicking on the picture of the orderer, you will see the basic information of the orderer and the feedback they have gotten from other workers.
You can apply for as many tasks as you have the time and energy to do. Everyone over 14 years of age can register to the service. However, please be sure to get your guardian's permission if you are under 15 years of age.
By applying for open tasks, and being selected for a task, you get the opportunity to gain work experience that will help you get work in the future.
Browse open opportunities and submit your own application to the tasks you are interested in. When browsing orders, clicking a user's image shows the user's previous feedback (for both the worker and the orderer).
If you cannot apply for a task, your profile is probably missing some necessary information (see previous section).
The orderer will be able to browse all the profiles that have applied for their task and then select as many as they require.
If a task has disappeared from the open opportunities and can not be found in the 'ongoing' menu, someone else has been selected for the task or the task has been canceled.
You will be notified if you are selected as a worker through email (on iOS & Android it will also come as a notification). The task will also move from "Opportunities" to "Current". Note: If you have applied for a job, actively monitor whether you have been selected because sometimes the orderer may only make a selection at the last minute.
You and the service provider (WorkPilots Oy) will have an contract relationship based on which an allowance will be paid, from which the withholding tax will be removed, according to your profile.
Execute the task at the agreed time. You can also agree on another time with the orderer if needed, for example by email, phone, or by chat (using iOS or Android Apps).
Complete your task as well as you can, so that you get good feedback from the orderer and thus increase your chances of getting more tasks.
If there is an obstruction with arriving to complete the task, immediately notify the orderer by phone or by emailing the orderer so that they can search for substitute help as soon as possible. Then cancel the order in the service.
If you are having problems with the orderer, you can provide feedback via the service or contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
When the job is done, claim the task as completed and give feedback to the orderer. Providing and receiving feedback is an important part of the service. Feedback helps build trust between all parties. Feedback also helps to identify your own strengths and develop your skills. We hope you will also give constructive feedback to the orderer.
When you give feedback for the orderer, there is a text field on that feedback window, where you can type the real time, when your work task finished (so that tells when you accomplished the work task).
If there is a need for more hours to be spent on the task, the orderer can make a new order for additional hours and select the same worker for the job. The duration of a task can not be reduced. If the task takes less time than described in the order, the orderer may, if necessary, find something more to do within the duration of the order.
We pay work compensations to workers usually once a week, but at least twice a month. See more information from the link above.
On the front page you can see how much you have earned through the service.
When you open the history-page of your profile (in web browser), click the task page open and on the top right corner of that task information, you can find a button "Get certificate". That way you get a certificate of each task. Completed tasks also appear on your WorkPilots CV, that you can create. There are also all informations of your earlier experiences that you have input to your profile.
If you need something else, please contact our support desk email@example.com

There are many different sections offering lefts down the long line of reef on the other side of Sidewalk's rocky point. The reef is fairly straight and plenty close out, but by not paddling back out, you can surf a new section each wave and travel for up to 1km, if the wind is S and there's a headhigh swell running.

When President Bush took office in 2001, Republicans and Democrats in Washington had built a strong consensus on the need for fiscal responsibility. Bush blew that apart within a few months. With the country in a recession, a temporary return to deficits was inevitable. But Bush's tax cuts and spending increases and clear disdain for the pay-as-you-go approach that had brought deficits down in the 1990s brought a return to permanent deficits. These actions almost certainly didn't cause the current crisis, but they have left the Federal Government in a much weaker position to combat it.

Inside Housing magazine.
This, regular readers will recall, is the plan to demolish the West Ken estate that has had the majority of residents up in arms for years, leading to protests inside Parliament and Mayor Johnson recently being confronted by the demand for a vote at a Council/Chronicle public relations event. Our Council Leader actually wrote a heartfelt personal plea to the relevant Minister pleading that he "really needed [his] help on this one". He certainly did - the residents were on the verge of using new Big Society legislation to evict the Council as a "rogue landlord".
Underlining just why this week's decision to impose a "need to know" rule on all future property speculator led planning applications is so serious for Hammersmith & Fulham, we now see that this administration is prepared to chuck tens of thousands of pounds at a group which toes the Council line. Nuff said.

H&F spends £38K on pro-council West Ken residents group
Posted by Chris Underwood at 10:42
1 comment:
Stephen Greenhalgh, Leader of Hammersmith Council, finds it difficult to accept that people may legitimately disagree with his plans. His instinct is to suppress dissent or pay for opinions which conform with his own. For example when Thames Water proposed to build the much needed "Super sewer" starting from Carnwath Road he commissioned an "independant" review which, surprise, surprise, said that the proposed scheme should be radically altered, avoiding the site which he had earmarked for another "riverside" redevelopment.ReplyDelete
He is an autocrat and bullies all his councillors into submission.

Lizard's Thicket, the nearly 40-year-old, family-owned and operated restaurant specializing in traditional Southern fare with 15 locations in South Carolina, announces plans to close its 818 Elmwood Ave. location for a few months for renovations beginning Monday, June 5, 2017.
The Williams family, which owns and operates all Lizard's Thicket restaurants, opened the Elmwood location in 1986 as their seventh restaurant and the first Lizard's Thicket with a drive–thru. Elmwood is known as a frequent stop for visiting politicians and dignitaries, including Bill Clinton, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum. Bloomberg News, Fox News, the David Webb Show and Candy Carson have also stopped at the Elmwood Lizard's Thicket.
All Lizard's Thickets have regular, frequent customers with long-running relationships with their favorite servers and staff members. The Elmwood location, in particular, boasts a well-loved staff of 37 employees.
"We have so many long-time customers that love the Lizard's Thicket Elmwood location, and we want to update the restaurant as a thank you to them," said Bobby Williams, Chairman of Lizard's Thicket. "The renovations will reflect an updated look and feel that our newer locations have, but customers will instantly feel at home and of course, we'll still serve the delicious traditional Southern cooking our customers know and love."
Renovations will update the exterior and interior of the restaurant to look more like other newer Lizard's Thicket buildings and include increased parking, USB charging stations at many tables, upgraded Wi-Fi capability, a totally remodeled dining room with new booths, increased access to the drive-thru, HardiPlank siding, and state-of-the-art kitchen equipment
All 37 of Lizard's Thicket employees will remain and the company has given each employee the opportunity to work at any other Lizard's Thicket while the Elmwood location is closed for renovations.
While the Elmwood Lizard's Thicket is closed, customers are encouraged to try nearby locations at 402 Beltline Blvd. and 501 Knox Abbot Drive. All other locations and their addresses are listed at www.LizardsThicket.com. Lizard's Thicket will announce plans for the grand re-opening of the Elmwood location in the fall.
For more information about Lizard's Thicket, visit www.LizardsThicket.com or to arrange interviews with Williams family members, contact Katie Alice Walker at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow Lizard's Thicket on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

"Is there anything we can do to win the governor's race?" asked registered Republican Jon Caldara, moaning and grabbing what would be his hair, during yesterday's taping of Devil's Advocate (the show airs tomorrow on Channel 12). Well, yes, I told him: You can convince John Elway, the state's biggest celebrity, and most famous Republican, to throw a Hail Mary pass, convince Dan Maes to pull out of the race and then take his place. Number 7 for governor: Score!
Although Maes has shown no signs that he'll get out of the race -- despite the open dismissiveness of GOP boss Dick Wadhams after his surprise win over ultimate insider Scott McInnis -- grown men (and women) have done amazing things to get a nod, a moment, an autograph from Elway.
And Elway, whose name has been floated as a potential candidate before, has the major attribute Wadhams and other GOP leaders would be looking for in a replacement candidate: money. Plus, unlike Dave Liniger, whose name has been floated, he has another attribute that would likely convince Tom Tancredo to get out of the race: popularity. Elway is still so popular in this state that he could give John Hickenlooper a run for his money.

Displays active TCP connections, ports on which the computer is listening, Ethernet statistics, the IP routing table, IPv4 statistics (for the IP, ICMP, TCP, and UDP protocols), and IPv6 statistics (for the IPv6, ICMPv6, TCP over IPv6, and UDP over IPv6 protocols). Used without parameters, netstat displays active TCP connections.
netstat [-a] [-e] [-n] [-o] [-p <Protocol>] [-r] [-s] [<Interval>]
|Displays all active TCP connections and the TCP and UDP ports on which the computer is listening.
|Displays Ethernet statistics, such as the number of bytes and packets sent and received. This parameter can be combined with -s.
|Displays active TCP connections, however, addresses and port numbers are expressed numerically and no attempt is made to determine names.
|Displays active TCP connections and includes the process ID (PID) for each connection. You can find the application based on the PID on the Processes tab in Windows Task Manager. This parameter can be combined with -a, -n, and -p.
|Shows connections for the protocol specified by Protocol. In this case, the Protocol can be tcp, udp, tcpv6, or udpv6. If this parameter is used with -s to display statistics by protocol, Protocol can be tcp, udp, icmp, ip, tcpv6, udpv6, icmpv6, or ipv6.
|Displays statistics by protocol. By default, statistics are shown for the TCP, UDP, ICMP, and IP protocols. If the IPv6 protocol is installed, statistics are shown for the TCP over IPv6, UDP over IPv6, ICMPv6, and IPv6 protocols. The -p parameter can be used to specify a set of protocols.
|Displays the contents of the IP routing table. This is equivalent to the route print command.
|Redisplays the selected information every Interval seconds. Press CTRL+C to stop the redisplay. If this parameter is omitted, netstat prints the selected information only once.
|Displays help at the command prompt.
- Parameters used with this command must be prefixed with a hyphen (-) rather than a slash (/).
- netstat provides statistics for the following:
- Proto The name of the protocol (TCP or UDP).
- Local address The IP address of the local computer and the port number being used. The name of the local computer that corresponds to the IP address and the name of the port is shown unless the -n parameter is specified. If the port is not yet established, the port number is shown as an asterisk (*).
- foreign address The IP address and port number of the remote computer to which the socket is connected. The names that corresponds to the IP address and the port are shown unless the -n parameter is specified. If the port is not yet established, the port number is shown as an asterisk (*).
- (state) Indicates the state of a TCP connection. The possible states are as follows: CLOSE_WAIT CLOSED ESTABLISHED FIN_WAIT_1 FIN_WAIT_2 LAST_ACK listEN SYN_RECEIVED SYN_SEND timeD_WAIT for more information about the states of a TCP connection, see Rfc 793.
- This command is available only if the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol is installed as a component in the properties of a network adapter in Network Connections.
To display both the Ethernet statistics and the statistics for all protocols, type:
netstat -e -s
To display the statistics for only the TCP and UDP protocols, type:
netstat -s -p tcp udp
To display active TCP connections and the process IDs every 5 seconds, type:
netstat -o 5
To display active TCP connections and the process IDs using numerical form, type:
netstat -n -o

I've Said This Before
But will I follow through?
I was really very saddened to hear of Ken Auster's passing this weekend. I hadn't known he was sick... of course, I am not closely acquainted, so why would I? The world has lost a great artist - and a generous, inspiring teacher. Luckily we have his videos to continue to learn from him.
I had the opportunity to learn with him in New York City eight years ago. EIGHT years ago. That really got me thinking this weekend. The workshop was wonderful. But how have I incorporated what I learned into my work? How have I grown? Have I painted with passion?
No. Sometimes. I don't know. To be honest, I worry way too much about what galleries want, or what might sell. I worry the paintings into lifeless, "pretty" scenes perhaps, but without allowing myself any expression. Then I worry that I don't have any thing to say after all. Its a vicious cycle.
I think I need to look long and hard at what I want to do with my art. I second guess myself too much. I have a wonderfully supportive husband who encourages me to paint, as much as I can, to become a better painter. But I still feel like painting is a reward when I've done my chores. It has to be the focus of my day and I have to let go of my fears and paint from the heart.
If you can, please look at Ken's work, read his story, watch his videos and learn as much about painting with passion as you can. He inspired me so much, though I was probably just one of thousands of his students. His passing reminds me that I don't want to waste more time with self doubt, worry and too much left brain interference. Wish me luck. Or better yet, peace.
2/1/2016 04:03:10 am
I never had the privilege of taking Ken's workshop but he was #1 on my workshop wish list. I have always thought "someday". But I felt like I knew him through his art, videos, and AHA interview. His sad passing has taught me to go grab life while I can and paint for the joy of it, not for what will sell.

Please feel free to share the following responses to questions which relate to infants and toddlers with visual and/or auditory impairments. These responses were reviewed by both Sha Cowan in the Division of Deaf Education, and Stephanie Herrmann at the Interagency Council on Early Childhood Intervention.
1. Is it true that deaf and/or vision teachers are not required at six-month reviews?
According to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Interagency Council on Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) and the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the deaf and/or vision teacher must attend each Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP) meeting. The six-month review is not an IFSP meeting.
The purpose of the six-month review is to address: a) the degree to which progress toward achieving the outcomes in the IFSP has been made, b) whether or not additional needs have been identified based on ongoing observation procedures, and c) whether modifications or revisions of the outcomes or services are necessary.
All members of the interdisciplinary team, including the teacher of the deaf and/or vision teacher, must be invited to attend the meeting; however, not all members must attend. At a minimum, the meeting must include the parent and the service coordinator.
However, changes to the IFSP may not be made during the six-month review. Changes in the child's outcomes and/or services can be made only by the IFSP team at an IFSP meeting, which does require the attendance of the deaf and/or vision teacher. So, if during the six-month review it becomes apparent that modifications or revisions of the outcomes or services are necessary, those changes cannot be made at an IFSP meeting immediately following the review if the required members (including the deaf and/or vision teacher) are not present. An IFSP meeting would have to be scheduled for a later time when the required team members can be present.
Obviously, if it is anticipated that the review will result in a need for IFSP changes, it would be more efficient if the deaf and/or vision teacher and other required members were present at the review and then, with the parents' permission, an IFSP meeting could immediately follow.
2. Who should make the referral for an orientation and mobility (O&M) evaluation? Can it come directly from one team member or should the referral be an IFSP team decision?
Services to children in an ECI program are provided as a result of decisions by the IFSP team. Assessment is a service and therefore the need for the assessment should be determined by the team. If the parent or the vision teacher, or anyone else on the team believes there is a need for the evaluation, then that should be discussed by IFSP team in an IFSP meeting to determines if there is a need, who will do it, who pays, when, etc. If the team determines there is a need, then ECI provides the notice to the parents and obtains parent permission according to IDEA-Part C requirements. Once the decision to have an O&M evaluation is made, ECI should follow the logistical procedures to provide to the district appropriate paperwork, such as the consent, that were previously worked out with the district.
According to the MOU, O&M is a service provided by the district . If the district relies on O&M evaluation/instruction provided by an education service center (ESC), the district should forward appropriate referral information to the ESC, according to procedures set forth by the ESC.
3. Sometimes physicians are hesitant to estimate visual acuities for very young children. How should this be documented on the Texas Eye Examination Report?
For most infants, a competent eye doctor will be able to get a general idea of acuity from direct ophthalmoscopy. Reluctance to give an estimate may be due to not knowing specifically how the information will be used possibly resulting in fear of litigation. Sometimes this can be addressed by providing technical assistance to the doctor. If the doctor has had little experience with young children, especially those who are very difficult to assess, there is an excellent video by Dr. Debra Chen that can be given to the doctor to demonstrate effective diagnostic techniques to use with babies. This may be available from your education service center. If not, it is available from TSBVI Outreach at 512 206-9242.
4. Sometimes we wait several weeks or even longer to obtain documentation from eye doctors. How should we document this and do you have any suggestions?
TEA cannot address this question for ECI programs which are responsible for obtaining the eye doctor report for children under three years of age. We can only address it in relation to students three and older who need the evaluation under IDEA-Part B.
For students who are 3 years or older who need eye reports as part of their special education evaluation, the district can use logs, contact reports, etc., to document attempts to get copies of the reports. However, this does not eliminate the district's responsibility to adhere to required timelines.
Since the district requires the report and is paying for it as a part of FAPE, it does have the option of choosing who will provide the evaluation and report. If specific doctors do not respond to reasonable timelines, do not provide the information the district requires, and do not respond to efforts by the district to explain the critical need for timely and quality information, the district should identify doctors who will do these things, and refer students to them. The district may establish a contract with a specific doctor in order to meet its responsibilities under IDEA.
This may be an issue the regional stakeholders can effectively address through the Regional Plan for Students with Visual Impairments, since the planning groups include the agencies for which this is a problem (ECI, TCB, LEAs). Some strategies that have been suggested include visiting with the doctors to share information; inviting doctors to a luncheon meeting; developing informational brochures/packets for the doctors; developing a cover letter to accompany the form explaining the critical need for timely, and complete information; etc.

Twitter (TWTR) surged into the close on Friday and hit $53. We had options expiration and also saw money rotating over from Alibaba (BABA) into Twitter and Facebook. There is much more growth potential in TWTR than BABA so investors likely made the smart switch. Twitter (TWTR) will now have resistance at $53.64 next week and if broken, the next level to watch would be $56.09. I've been saying this since TWTR crashed from $50 to $30 and can't stress it enough, Twitter (TWTR) is a strong buy on all major pullbacks. Rarely do we get to buy such a high growth company such a Twitter. When you look at Facebook's $200 billion market cap vs Twitter's $30 billion, we have a lot more to go over the next 3-5 years. We will be watching TWTR and buying it in the stock picks group.

Yesterday, I began an interview with Alan Hirsch and Tim Catchim about their new book The Permanent Revolution. You can read part 1 here.
Most of your who read my blog probably know who Alan is, but here is quick refresher:
Hirsch is co-founder and adjunct faculty for the M.A. in Missional Church Movements at Wheaton College (Illinois). He is also adjunct professor at Fuller Seminary, George Fox Seminary, among others, and he lectures frequently throughout Australia, Europe, and the United States. For more about Alan, visit his website here.
You may now know Tim as well, but here is a short bio:
Tim is the founder and director of Generate, a coaching and consultant agency for apostolic ventures. He specializes in bringing strategic vision and clarity to entrepreneurial ventures and the process of innovation. For more about Tim, visit his website here.
As they did yesterday, Alan and Tim will be interacting on the blog and answering questions below.
The conversation continues...
5. On page 98 in the book, you discuss the tension between big A apostles and little a apostles. When many hear you've written a book on apostolic calling, as you point out, many might misunderstand what you mean when you talk about apostleship. What do you mean? How is this different than the charismatic version of "Apostles" we hear about in the charismatic movement (and I've written about here and here)?
Let us be quite categorical here: We are in no way suggesting that the ongoing and legitimate role of the apostolic person in the life of the church in any way adds to, alters, or subtracts from the original canon of Scripture. We don't know of anyone within broad evangelical circles who would say this. Any such claims should be dismissed immediately.
What we are saying is that the work of the original apostles went beyond simply writing the Bible. If that is not so, them most of them failed because most did not write the Bible. The apostles in the Bible clearly had other functions that related to the church's innate capacities for advance, doctrinal integrity, networking skills, creating translocal organization, etc. These are clearly necessary in any form of advancing movement...and they are necessary today more than ever as the church experiences increasing marginalization and has to adopt a missionary stance in relation to our culture.
Furthermore, we believe that the distortions of apostolic ministry found in some extreme circles of the charismatic church are dangerous caricatures of a extremely important function. But since when has extremism stopped us from trying to understand a function better. In fact it should drive us to clarity.
For instance, just because the Grand Inquisition was a severe distortion of the pastoral and teacher function (a violent demand for conformity of behavior and thought) doesn't mean that we jettison the ongoing vocation of the shepherd and teacher! Just because some Tele-Evangelists abused the evangelistic ministry, doesn't mean we reject the incredible work of Billy Graham as illegitimate ministry. Why do this with apostlic and prophetic people?
We believe that whatever ministries we have now (all APEST functions) can derive their archetype from Scripture. This is true for the apostolic (what we call extracting small "a" from big "A" apostles) but is also true of the teacher (small "t" from big "T"), etc. The same interpretive rules should be applied to all the vocations
6. Is The Permanent Revolution a book about theology or methodology? Are they separable in this case?
Ahh, this is a good question Ed. We see APEST as being primarily rooted in the ministry of Christ, so in some sense, this book is thoroughly about Christology. In other words, if Jesus expressed his ministry in APEST form (and who can doubt this?) then the ascension imagery in Eph.4:1-16 shows that the church extends his ministry in the earth--in fivefold form. However, all theology has to be incarnated, that is, it has to land on the ground be worked out in the real world.
This book stands on the Christological foundations of APEST and makes a concerted effort to go deeper into the apostolic calling and ministry. If we said this in a broader way, we believe that whatever methodology we might adopt, should be informed, inspired, and legitimized by our best theology. Hence the Missio Dei inspires our missional methods, and the Incarnation requires us to act incarnationally in the Way of Jesus, etc.
7. You often use the metaphor of DNA when describing the behavior of APEST in the local church. You also describe use the image of a genetic mutation (I love that) to describe failure to lock into the core DNA of the gospel. Every philosophical/methodological trend in church history serves a purpose for a season, and has distinct strengths and weaknesses. If churches, on the whole, adopt a missional, APEST philosophy of ministry (as you describe in your book), what mutations would you predict we then need to guard against next?
The temptation is always to go from one end of the spectrum to the other. Right now, we are pretty much locked in to a two-fold ministry paradigm, that of the Shepherd-Teacher. If the church answers its call to fan out its notion of what legitimate forms of leadership and ministry look like, and integrates the APE's into the equation, it will have to resist the energies of fragmentation that emerge anytime diversity is recognized and affirmed.
This is one reason what we end the APEST section with an all-out exploration into the apostolic function. The diversity within APEST needs a unifying force to hold it together. Without a compelling external mission coupled by an internal motivation to unity, then wakening the diversity within APEST could eventually lead to dissipation. We need the apostolic ministry to provide that missional focal point around which the diversity within APEST can find a unifying vision and rigorous venture to collaborate around.
But truth is, serious dysfunction will inevitably come when one form of ministry predominates over the others. Partly because one form cannot possibly represent the whole ministry of Christ in the world, but partly because there will be no balancing in the leadership equation and all the dysfunctions will come to the fore. So for example when one form of APEST leadership is dis-located from the others it will tend to monopolize the culture and to have a negative effect in the long run. The one-leader type church is most at risk in this case, but we can all recall organizations that demonstrate the truth of this.
So for instance,
A: If an apostolic leader dominates then church/organization will tend to be hard-driving, autocratic, with lots of pressure for change and development, and will leave lots of wounded people in its wake. As such it is not sustainable and will tend to dissolve with time.
P: If the prophetic dominates, then the whole organization will have a one-dimensional (always harking back to one or two issues) feel, will likely be factious and sectarian, have a "super-spiritual" vibe, or somewhat paradoxically, will tend to be either too activist in to be sustainable or too quietist to be useful. This is not a viable form of organization.
E: When an evangelistic leader dominates, the organization will have a obsession with numerical growth, will create dependence on effervescent charismatic leadership, and will tend to lack theological breadth as well as depth. This type of organization will not empower many people at all.
S: When pastoral leadership monopolizes the church/organization will tend to be risk-averse, co-dependent and needy, and overly lacking in healthy dissent and therefore creativity. Such an organization will lack innovation and generativity and will not be able to be transfer it's core message and tasks from one generation to the next.
T: When teachers/ theologians rule, the church will be ideological, controlling, moralistic, and somewhat uptight. A rationalistic, doctrine-obsessed, Christian Gnosticism (the idea that we are saved by what we know) will tend to replaces reliance on the Holy Spirit. These types of organization will be exclusive based on ideology like the Pharisees.
8. You discuss entrepreneurial risk and innovation in ministry and obviously value creative strategies. Given the antiquity of the gospel, why must we continue to innovate and dream up new ways of doing the same things?
The gospel will always be the gospel, and this is the compass by which we navigate our efforts to be risky and innovative. With the ever changing cultural landscape of the West, we are faced with an ever increasing level of complexity. The historical reality of the gospel, and the surplus of meaning within it's multiple metaphors i.e. redemption, reconciliation, etc., provide us with the linguistic storehouse, as well as the conceptual capacities to mediate the power of the gospel in every age.
However, once the gospel has been planted in a particular context, we have to let the resulting ecclesia begin to work out in its own culturally appropriate ways of how and where to gather, how to pursue biblical forms of leadership, and how to subversively live the gospel in their context. In every age the church has learned to hold on to the unchanging truths of the gospel while mediating that truth in ways that not only affirm the positive elements of their host culture, but eventually subvert the dark sides of that culture that stand to enhance the principalities and powers of the enemy.
9. Any final thoughts you'd like to leave our readers?
We don't believe in silver bullets--one simple solution that will fix all your problems. But darn!, this gets awfully close to being a silver bullet for the church right now. We believe that a recovery of the power of Ephesians 4 ecclesiology, and the re-integration of a fully functioning apostolic ministry in our time, will awaken powerful forces within the church. Jesus has given us everything we need to get our job done.
Part of what that means is found in Eph.4. It's vital genetic information for a missional form of church. And all we need to do is reactivate it in the power of the Spirit ...and boom! The Permanent Revolution is a hefty book. It will make you think very hard and against the grain of much of our inherited thinking in this regard. But so much rides on us getting this right. Read the book.

Flawless word
I read this verse today and it spoke heavily to my heart. It so clearly answers the question "Why is reading the word of God is so important".
NIV Psalm 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the
LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.
NLT Psalm 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect. All the LORD's
promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for
Are you reading his word daily? If not why? Is it really time or something deeper? Is it really you do not like to read or something deeper? If someone would pay you 2 million dollars after you finished reading the bible would you be able to find a desire to read it? Maybe the answer is deeper than you think? I can promise you God is ready willing and able to speak to you in His word. He wants a much deeper and meaningful relationship with you. Take the first step today and keep stepping the rest of your life!

What is anxiety and how can we treat it?
Substances like L-theanine, GABA and Rhodiola rosea are the best treatment for anxiety problems.
Experiencing a feeling like anxiety can be a normal reaction to new situations, such as divorce, moving, or a decision that affects your job or professional career.
However, when the anxiety lasts a long time, without the existence of these triggering external factors, it may have a negative effect on our body.
Fear is a natural reaction to a threat. When a threat takes place our body instinctively can experiment a reaction to fight or flee, which will cause the release of hormones and neurotransmitters in our body.
This type of response is a natural biological process for survival when facing a danger or potential risk.
Nevertheless, when someone has prolonged anxiety, clinical studies have shown that the uncontrolled hyperactivity that it causes, reduces the efficiency of the response to fight back or flee. This may result in changes in the brain functions and in the mental state of well-being.
What are the most frequent symptoms of anxiety?
Anxiety is caused by a response to flight or flee, from a danger, that surpasses a normal reaction. The symptoms may be physical or psychological.
The most common physical symptoms are:
- Tachycardia
- Feeling sick
- Tremors
- Dry mouth
- Chest pain
- Headaches
- Hyperventilation
The most common psychic symptoms are:
- Confusion
- Loss of memory
- Lack of concentration
- Feeling tension and permanent worry
- Nervousness
- Difficulty for falling asleep or restless sleep
- Fatigue
Those who suffer from fear for a prolonged time can experiment any of these problems, which can impact our general health and affect our life quality.
Anxiety may be an underlying symptom of other more serious psychological disorders, such as:
- Phobias
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder
- Social phobia or unfounded fear of certain social situations
- Panic attacks
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) or uncontrollable impulse to think or do certain things
Anxiety disorders are diagnosed based on the diagnostic criteria for psychological disorders (known as DSM-V).
Benefits of nutritional supplements for treating anxiety
Clinical studies have shown that dietary supplements can be the best treatment for nervous tension. Some supplements can help to control the normal reaction to fight or flee, and strengthen mental health.
According to clinical trials, dietary supplements with the following active ingredients can help to reduce anxiety:
- Glycine, an amino acid that improves brain function.
- GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a neurotransmitter that can relax brain hyperactivity.
- Tryptophan, an amino acid that is a precursor of neurotransmitters and has a calming effect.
- L-theanine guarantees the release of neurotransmitters and increases GABA activity in the brain.
- Taurine helps improve nerve function by activating receptors in the brain.
- L-lysine, an amino acid precursor of stress neurotransmitters, that plays an important role in the reaction to fear.
- Ashwagandha, helps the body to adapt to nervous tension.
- Golden Root (Rhodiola rosea) can help in stressful situations, it increases mental performance and improves mood.
- Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3 that has a calming effect and, therefore, anxiolytic action.
- Vitamin B6 (pyridoxal-5-phosphate), which helps the nervous system and soothes headaches.
- Magnesium, a mineral that relaxes muscles and activates the nervous receptors of GABA in the brain.
GABA, the neurotransmitter that increases well-being
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a neurotransmitter that reduces the hyperactivity of the brain and calms nerves. This neurotransmitter has a relaxing effect and intervenes in the activation of glutamate, as well as reducing nervous tension.
According to clinical studies, GABA can not pass the brain-blood barrier. How ever:
an increase of GABA levels can help to control anxiety.
The release of GABA can also be produced by taurine, L-theanine, vitamin B6 and magnesium.
Gaba contributes to:
- Reducing the body's response to nervous tension
- Inhibiting the transmission of nerve impulses in the brain
- Achieving a state of calmness quickly and increasing serotonin levels
Rhodiola rosea or Golden root
The golden root (American Rhodiola rosea) is a plant that helps increase performance and has other effects, such as improving the state of mind derived from nervous tension.
A clinical study showed that people who took Rhodiola for 10 weeks, with minimal side effects, experienced fewer anxiety problems. The participants in the study had been diagnosed, according to DSM-V criteria, with generalized anxiety disorder.
According to the researchers, Rhodiola rosea improves mood, performance and attention, and is therefore a natural alternative, better than medication, to relieve tension and depression. The effects of Rhodiola are produced by normalizing the body's natural response to stressors.
Rhodiola rosea may help:
- To reduce tension, fatigue and irritability
- To treat Chronic Anxiety Disorders
- To normalize the response to stressors
L-Theanine is an amino acid that is contained in green tea and has soothing and relaxing effects. L-Theanine is one of the most popular remedies for treating anxiety. It helps to increase concentration and, at the same time, helps to calm nervousness.
L-theanine increases the release of the neurotransmitter GABA and reduces nerve stimulation of the brain.
A small double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that people taking L-theanine at different times reduced the symptoms of nervous tension compared to participants who received placebo.
According to the researchers, L-theanine decreases heart rate, and also inhibits the release of adrenaline from sympathetic nervous system and the increase of heart rate, typical of anxiety problems.
L-theanine helps to:
- Have a better concentration
- Increase serotonin
- Produce alpha waves in the brain, which are associated with relaxation and concentration
Who benefits from nutritional supplements against anxiety?
If you can not remove the worries and concerns from your life style, the treatment with plant extracts and dietary supplements that we have referred to, is the best option to control, naturally, nervous tension.
These food supplements help people that have some of these problems:
- If you have difficulties coping with stressful situations.
- If you have excessive concerns on a continuous basis, that keep you in tension.
- If you tend to behave excessively to avoid stressful situations.
- If you suffer panic attacks.
- If you have physical or mental anxiety problems.
Do dietary supplements against anxiety have side effects?
An excessively high dose of GABA can produce fatigue. However, this can be solved by reducing the dosage.
Rhodiola rosea and L-theanine are completely safe and no type of side effects have been described, even when taken on a continuous basis. For this reason they are a natural alternative for the treatment of nervous tension problems.
Contraindications of dietary supplements for anxiety
It is recommended to previously consult a doctor before taking dietary supplements against anxiety, in cases of pregnant or lactating women, and children. Because the studies on the effects of the intake of GABA, Rhodiola rosea and L-theanine supplements in these population groups have not been sufficiently contrasted.
Care must also be taken before taking GABA supplements in the case of people who suffer from renal or hepatic diseases, or people who take medications for the nervous system, as those drugs may include barbiturates and benzodiazepines.
In any case, if you are taking other medications and are not sure on the convenience of taking this type of dietary supplement you should previously consult a doctor or pharmacist.
Why is it convenient to take nutritional supplements for anxiety?
The anxiety that does not arise from a specific, one-off, problem, and that lasts a long period of time can have repercussions on mental health.
Fear is a natural response to dangerous situations, but if you suffer from uncontrolled fear, dietary supplements can help calm this situation and are much more natural than medications.
Dietary supplements, in addition to serving to control fear, also help treat the following problems:
- To reduce levels of stress hormone
- Improve mood and increase serotonin
- To have more energy
- To have more satisfactory relationships
- Reduce negative thoughts, concerns and avoid the anticipation of future problems
- Improve the quality of life in general
