President's Bookshelf: November 2010
For many years, I have been intrigued by what happens when two cultures meet and their basic teachings about human nature, our place in the world and the reality of the natural world are mutually incomprehensible.
My latest exploration of this difficult theme actually started a few years ago when I was a Fulbright Scholar in Australia. As I tried to learn about aboriginal traditions of health and sickness and the role of healers as part of my work with the partnership between Deakin University and the Victorian Health and Human Services Office in Geelong, I began to realize how incomprehensible Aboriginal Australia must have been to the first settlers, the early white explorers and the scholars who followed them into the bush. In turn, how incomprehensible these strange newcomers must have been to the aboriginal custodians of the land. If you are a westerner, how do you respond to a people who experience themselves as a part of the land? How can you understand a tradition that calls the people to keep that spiritual truth alive through the constant telling stories about the land? How do you relate to a people who believe their country is simply the physical reflection of those underlying stories? If you were aboriginal, how could you possibly understand a culture built on domination of the land and the bending of nature to human will? For one people, human beings are part of the land. For the other, the land serves at the pleasure of human beings. As you experience both cultures, how do you reconcile them? In a world of climate change, we better learn how to draw from these other traditions. If you are curious about this question, try reading Treading Lightly: The Hidden Wisdom of the Worlds Oldest People by Karl-Erik Sveiby and Tex Skuthorpe.
During my stay in Australia, I read Kate Grenvilles story of those first encounters in her historical novel, The Lieutenant. Her lead character, Daniel Rooke, is based on a member of the First Fleet that landed on Australias shores in 1788. The model for Lt. Rooke was a little known junior officer named William Dawes who had a love of the stars, an appreciation for the new and beautiful landscape, and a natural talent for languages. The story is worth reading as a good yarn in its own right, but what really struck me was the way in which a few scraps of historical evidence could, in the hands of an imaginative author, turn into the fabric of a compelling story of two cultures slowly and painfully learning about each other.
My intense curiosity about cultures in collision was fed again by Winona States Common Book last year, The Latehomecomer, A Hmong Family Memoir by Kao Kalia Yang. Yang told the story of her familys flight from war-torn Laos across the Mekong River to the Ban Vinai Refugee Camp in Thailand and finally to resettlement in Minneapolis. This story of a journey through time, through space and across the boundaries of two completely different understandings of life and the land has stayed with me and has reappeared in one way or another often since then. In a desire to explore that theme further, I picked up a copy of Anne Fadimans book, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. Published in 1997, the book tells the story of a young Hmong child named Lia Lee who had a serious form of epilepsy. Her encounters with western medicine reveal a tragic story of misunderstanding and confusion. The Hmong family and the doctors who treated Lia had totally different ideas about the nature of health, sickness and the practice of the healing arts that were incomprehensible to each other. Her doctors were trying to treat her epilepsy with appropriate anticonvulsant drugs. Her parents thought that Lias seizures were the result of an evil spirit that had grabbed her soul, and they thought that what they needed to do was to fool the spirit and coax Lias soul back into her body.
I continue to think about how little we often understand the lives and traditions of people who are unlike us and how tragic the results of that misunderstanding can be. This question has been a persistent theme in my thinking for so long. I wonder how it will show up next.

When you have a lot of excess skin that collects around many areas of your body, it can significantly change your body shape. Sagging skin can make the idea of wearing revealing clothing unpleasant and can undermine your overall self-confidence. With a lower body lift, you can achieve a slimmer, more natural profile and get rid of excess skin.
A lower body lift, also known as a belt lipectomy, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes the contours of the lower body. The procedure is aimed at getting rid of excess skin around the abdomen, thighs and buttocks. A lower body lift is a combination of the tummy tuck, thigh lift and butt lift. The final results of the procedure will become clear as the body heals from the surgery.
Speak with Dr. Edward Miranda to learn about the results you can achieve with a lower body lift.

Via Ned, H. Allen Orr's review of Sam Harris' The Moral Landscape says most of what needs to be said. I haven't read the book, because I am a mortal creature and I have better ways to spend my time on Earth, but Orr's review does remind me of something incoherent in Harris' reasoning that's been nagging me since the book came out. Here's Orr quoting Harris:
The very idea of "objective" knowledge (i.e., knowledge acquired through honest observation and reasoning) has values built into it, as every effort we make to discuss facts depends upon principles that we must first value (e.g., logical consistency, reliance on evidence, parsimony, etc.).
While there are a number of different philosophies of science and epistemologies that can accommodate the scientific method, Harris is certainly correct that you have to accept one of them for the whole thing to work. Harris' choice appears to be scientific realism, which, in short, is the view that science describes a world that is really "out there", and that a scientific observation is true when it corresponds to this real world.
Which is funny to me, because Harris is a utilitarian. At least that's what I and Orr make of his conclusion that the good is the "well-being of conscious creatures". A quick scan of the book shows that Harris explicitly identifies identifies as a consequentialist (see page 62; sadly there's no Google Books preview I can link to). Consequentialism + a hedonic conception of the good = good old fashioned utilitarianism.
Utilitarianism, unlike some other ethical theories, has philosophical implications outside of ethics. In particular, I think it commits you to some form of pragmatism. If the answer to "what should I do?" is "whatever action maximizes the general happiness" then the answer to "what should I believe?" is "whatever belief is conducive to maximizing the general happiness". That starts to look a lot like pragmatists' argument that what is true is what is most useful to believe.
As Richard Rorty pointed out in my favorite essay of his – "Religious faith, intellectual responsibility, and romance" – this affinity between utilitarianism and pragmatism is historical as well as logical. William James was a great admirer of John Stuart Mill, and The Will to Believe can be read, in Rorty's words, as an attempt at a "utilitarian ethics of belief". And James, of course, believed strongly that religious faith could be a force for good.
This makes sense. Under pragmatism, the statement "God exists" is true if it is useful to believe that God exists. This may seem a flimsy reason to believe, and Rorty lays out a number of ways in which it limits what one can believe, but it is no flimsier a foundation than pragmatism offers for believing in science, and most would consider that foundation pretty strong. No one would mistake Quine and Sellars and Dewey for arch opponents of science, after all.
So Harris has a problem. He can be a scientific realist, which rules out both pragmatism (which rejects the idea that there needs to be a real world "out there" which true statements reflect) and utilitarianism (because it implies pragmatism). Or he can be a utilitarian, and a pragmatist, and acknowledge that religion is often a source for good in the world and a source of joy for many privately. But you can't be a utilitarian and a scientific realist, and you certainly can't try to get to utilitarianism through scientific realism, which is what he's trying to do now.

"It will affect our identity and all the issues associated with it: our sense of privacy, our notions of ownership, our consumption patterns, the time we devote to work and leisure, and how we develop our careers, cultivate our skills, meet people, and nurture relationships."
Charles Schwab Exec Chairman World Economic Forum
This will give rise to a job market increasingly segregated into "low-skill/low-pay" and "high-skill/high-pay" segments, which in turn will lead to an increase in social tensions.
The exponential speed of technology adoption and deployment is the challenge for leaders in government, business and the public sector. We will not have the luxury of time experienced in the '80's and early 21st Century.
On the other hand we potentially have more relevant and complete information on which to make decisions. AI and Augmented Intelligence will help leaders focus on the important and have machines, robots make decisions on the predictable outcomes, Freeing up the creativity and capacity to innovate that "The Fourth Industrial Revolution" offers us Homo Sapiens.
The danger is that culturally and politically leaders will be unable to assure anxious middle class and forgotten working class peoples that benefits will flow to them. Rust Belt America and Northern Britain embraced Trump and BREXIT - in many ways pining for a past that will never return.
The economic growth of 20th Century America and the stability of The British Empire and Commonwealth.
How will government become agile to use the very digital transformation to reform central and municipal government, deliver core responsibilities and train/educate people to embrace digital transformation?
Those that do will not only survive but thrive. If it can seize the opportunity the UK government can use BREXIT and digital transformation to rejuvenate and grow the economy and the well-being of the population. Not with yesterday's socialist ideas nor with naked capitalism.
Carpe Diem? No, we cannot seize the day and forget the future- we must employ digital transformation with vigour and a strategy that will share the fruits of the digital harvest widely across all peoples.
At the same time, as the economists Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee have pointed out, the revolution could yield greater inequality, particularly in its potential to disrupt labor markets. As automation substitutes for labor across the entire economy, the net displacement of workers by machines might exacerbate the gap between returns to capital and returns to labor. On the other hand, it is also possible that the displacement of workers by technology will, in aggregate, result in a net increase in safe and rewarding jobs.

US: Cargill Q1 profit up 300%
By Katy Askew | 12 October 2012
- Cargill earnings up 300%
- Sales dip to $33.8bn
Agricultural commodities group Cargill has booked a 300% jump in first-quarter profit, which was boosted by higher demand for its services due to a drop in yields resulting from poor weather, particularly in the US.
The company said yesterday (11 October) that earnings rose to US$975m in the three months to the end of August, up from $236m in the year-ago quarter.
Cargill said that it is "tapping the full resources" available to it in order to offset the impact of the US drought and poor weather conditions in other grain growing areas such as the Russian black belt. The company said that it is finding "alternative" supplies for customers who are being hit by the resulting shortfall in grain availability.
"Now more than ever Cargill is using our knowledge and market insight to help customers manage in this time of tighter supplies, higher prices and more volatile markets," Gregory Page, chief executive, said.
First-quarter revenues were $33.8bn, compared with $34.6bn in the year-ago period.
Cargill reports first-quarter fiscal 2013 earnings
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cargill today reported net earnings of $975 million in the fiscal 2013 first quarter ended Aug. 31, compared with $236 million in the same period a year ago. First-quarter revenues were $33.8 billion compared with $34.6 billion in the year-ago period.
"During the past two years, Cargill has invested $8.1 billion to better serve our customers all around the world," said Greg Page, Cargill chairman and chief executive officer. "By investing steadily, we've been able to significantly boost the breadth and depth of the products and services we offer our customers. And that has strengthened the balance, diversification and resilience we strive for in our business."
Three additional factors contributed to Cargill's performance. Results were balanced, with improved earnings across all five business segments. There were no significant losses in any one business unit, the latter a factor that affected the year-ago period. The company benefited from the considerable time and energy invested during the past 12 months to lower costs, simplify and streamline processes, and ensure capital expenditures were being directed to where they mattered most to customers.
The impact of the U.S. drought and weather events in other crop-growing areas such as the Black Sea region is still unfolding. A key variable is how food and feed demand worldwide will adjust in the coming months if prices remain high. "Now more than ever Cargill is using our knowledge and market insight to help customers manage in this time of tighter supplies, higher prices and more volatile markets," said Page. "We are reaching out to customers and tapping the full resources of Cargill to create solutions that address their needs."
In addition to providing hedging solutions to agricultural producers, feed and food makers and energy users, Cargill works with customers in a variety of ways. The company finds alternative sources of supply and provides supply assurance. It helps customers reduce or stabilize their input costs and make them more predictable.
Using its logistics expertise, Cargill assists customers to obtain better freight rates, routing or timing, or avoid costly delays. It offers storage solutions that help customers preserve product quality, minimize shrinkage or reduce working capital.
The company also serves customers' informational needs, whether through advisory agreements or more informally through crop tours, seminars and site visits.
The impact of the drought on Cargill's business has been mixed and will continue to be so in the months ahead. The weather has altered the normal distribution of raw materials around the world, and that is pushing more international buyers to non-U.S. origins. As a result, Cargill expects more atypical trade flows - a condition that calls upon its capabilities in market analytics, risk management and logistics. Cargill's North American grain handling volumes for exports are anticipated to be lower than pre-drought expectations, and it may be a challenging year for the company's animal protein businesses globally.
Cargill continues to invest in assets that support customers. During the first quarter, Cargill acquired the EnvirotempTM FR3TM dielectric fluid business and brand from Cooper Power Systems. Dielectric fluids are used to cool transformers and other electrical equipment. This vegetable oil-based product is an alternative to petroleum-based fluids. Cargill intends to grow the business with utility and industrial customers that are migrating to high performance, bio-based solutions.
The company purchased a ground beef processing facility in Fort Worth, Texas, that was formerly owned by AFA Foods. The plant is well situated, both to receive raw materials from Cargill's beef production plants in Friona and Plainview, Texas, and to serve existing and prospective customers.
Cargill is constructing an animal nutrition facility in South Korea's port of Dangjin. It also announced plans to build a specialty feed facility in Bovina, Texas.

Investigators detail Hilliard Davidson student's alleged plan of school shooting
A Hilliard Davidson student is accused of planning to recruit other students to take part in a mass shooting at the school.
Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien announced charges against 16-year-old John Staley III Tuesday.
Sources tell 10TV that federal investigators had been following Staley since last month but they feared his alleged plot was falling into place so they moved in and arrested him.
Last month, Hilliard Police announced that they had stopped a potential threat against the school, but did not release details at the time.
According to court documents, Staley had shared a map with two students on a school bus about his plans of the shooting. Both students agreed to take part.
O'Brien said the diagram laid out the plan including listed weapons and the personnel number of people needed to carry it out. The plan needed 15 people.
Officials say a student at the school overheard the plot and reported to the school resource officer.
Hilliard Superintendent Dr. John Marchhausen said there three students that were removed from the school and suspended September 21. Police arrested Staley October 7.
Students and parents described Staley as someone who kept to himself.
During their investigation, police took his phone and computer where they found pictures of assault weapons.
O'Brien said that Staley also visited a gun store but did not confirm if he had any actual weapons.
He also confirmed that Staley's internet search history included information about mass school shootings, various guns and their cost.
Staley has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder for the planned threat.
He is also facing separate charges for photos found on his phone by police. They found photos he had taken up girls' skirts and naked pictures of himself he had sent to someone.
Below is a copy of the letter sent to parents from Hilliard City Schools:
Dear Hilliard Families,
On September 21, 2016 a concerned student approached School Resource Officer Rich Quigley about a possible threat made against Hilliard Davidson High School. Hilliard Police and Hilliard City School staff acted immediately to ensure the safety of students and staff members. The individuals involved were isolated and removed from the school environment while an investigation ensued. At no point were our students or staff in imminent danger.
This investigation revealed what the student described as a "joke" was actually an elaborate written plan to harm students and faculty at the school. Collaboration between Ron O'Brien and his staff at the Franklin County Prosecutor's office, Hilliard Police Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Joint Terrorism Task Force, Franklin County Sheriff's Office and the Hilliard City School Administration was essential to uncover the details of this case.
A warrant was obtained for John Leonard Staley III, age 16, who was arrested on Friday, October 7th, 2016 for Conspiracy to Commit Murder F1. Mr. Staley is being held at the Franklin County Juvenile Detention Center.
This plan was thwarted because one young student had the courage to communicate their concerns over a conversation they heard. This student stood up for what was right and reported what was wrong.
This is another example of our outstanding Hilliard partnerships between students, faculty and police. Together we keep our community safe.

Alleged images of Titanfall's multiplayer maps have been leaked ahead of the game's launch.
The top-down images, which appear to have been taken from a strategy guide, were posted on Reddit, alongside additional gameplay details.
The top-down images point out numerous landmarks, such as buildings, beaches, caves and even fossilised remains.
Maps will also reportedly contain turrets, which can be hacked by members of each team, and ziplines.
Elsewhere, the game's five modes are said to include Attrition, Capture the Flag, Hardpoint Domination, Last Titan Standing and Pilot Hunter.
Pilot Hunter is a score-based mode in which points are only awarded for killing pilots, although eliminating bots will still reduce the time it takes to pilot a Titan.
Creatures will also roam the maps, paying no attention to combat unless directly engaged by players.
Titanfall will be released on Xbox One and PC on March 14 in Europe and March 11 in North America, and late March on Xbox 360.
The game's recent Xbox One and PC open beta attracted more than 2 million players from February 15 to February 19.
Respawn identified and fixed ten issues with the game during beta, but admits that refining Titanfall will be an ongoing project.
A free Titanfall download code will be included in the new cut price Xbox One bundle.
The Xbox One is available for £399, although it is available for £369 at GameStop.

One Laptop Per Child Foundation No Longer a Disruptive Force, Bender Fears; Q&A on His Plans for "Sugar" Interface
(Page 2 of 4)
happen—it's something we have to try to make happen. I'm trying to put the right tools together to make that a more natural use of the technology. It's the right thing to do, and that's what I will continue to work on.
X: Now that the XO laptop is being manufactured and distributed, the One Laptop foundation seems to be spinning apart, with many of the players, including yourself, leaving to pursue aspects of the technology on their own. I wonder if this is a natural evolution, to some extent.
WB: It is a natural evolution of the association. OLPC is two things—an association and a foundation. The association really was put together to make the [whole project] possible. The foundation was put together to get laptops out to kids. In some sense the association has accomplished Phase One of its work. We built a laptop, stacked it, defined how deployment should work, and the foundation has been raising money to get laptops into the hands of kids. Then it's a matter of what's next. And what's next for me is to continue to work on the software tools for learning—to broaden their scope and applicability. What's next for OLPC? I would rather OLPC answer for themselves. Nicholas has made it clear, at least to me, that OLPC needs to be strategically agnostic about learning—that it can't be prescriptive about learning. So that's his opinion and that's where he's taking OLPC, and that's not what I want to do, so I left.
X: When you say "agnostic about learning," what I take that to mean is that there's a feeling that the XO Laptop should run Windows, and not just Linux and Sugar.
WB: I think it's pretty obvious and was obvious from the very beginning that it's a lot easier to cater to people's comfort than to be disruptive. Nicholas had that wonderful quote in BusinessWeek about a month ago—that OLPC is going to stop acting like a terrorist and start emulating Microsoft. If you read between the lines, the idea is to stop trying to be disruptive and to start trying to make things comfortable for decision-makers. And that's a marketing strategy, and one that I think has been adopted by many laptop manufacturers. Personally, I think that the customer is not always right, and that a role that a non-profit can play is to try to demonstrate better ways of doing things and let the market follow them. But that is a minority opinion, so I left to do my own thing.
X: Given how integral Sugar is to the XO Laptop, how can you continue to develop that separately from OLPC?
WB: It's not my intention to do it separately from OLPC. It's my intention to do it with the community that's grown up around the project, and OLPC is certainly part of that community. There is this wonderful thing called GPL. Everything we have done belongs to the community, not to the foundation. I think that's a very efficient way of moving forward, and it's powerful along a number of dimensions.
I think the culture around free software is actually a powerful culture for learning, and one of my goals from the very beginning of the project was to try to instill in the education industry some of the culture and technology and morals of the open source movement. I think it would greatly enhance the learning and education industry and their ability to engage teachers and students. So many different things are tied up in this concept. It's both about freedom, and the freedom to be critical. Criticism of ideas is a powerful force in learning, and unleashing that is, I think, an important part of the OLPC mission.
X: Okay, so talk about how you'll actually take Sugar and keep growing it, and get it onto other platforms.
WB: There are two parts to it. One part has to do with continuing the momentum around the project. And there's lots that needs to be done. It's a generation-one product, and it needs to grow and evolve. But there's a second piece … Next Page »

If the project is en educational project and not a technology project, the point is NOT the lovely little tools. Why is that so hard for folks to understand?
But has the last word been said ? Is all hope to be lost ? Is the defeat final No !(Charles De Gaulle , French president )

Tropical Storm on cruise ship
Irene Baron: www.irenebaron.com
When I saw a video about ocean storms and angry seas, I thought back to an adventure I experienced in 1961 during an Atlantic crossing on the Holland American Lines ship, the Groote Beer out of Rotterdam. This was a 600+ passenger ship which took me on a round trip journey between New York City and Rotterdam, Holland. The image illustrated is from a postcard of the ship. The original artist is unknown.
This ship was one of three Victory Class ships built for the United War Shipping Administration to ferry troops across the Atlantic during World War II. The Groote Beer was sold to the Dutch Government.
The ship had stronger hulls for troop transport use during the war but was not finished at the ship yards until near the end of the war. Originally built as troop transports, they were later converted for public transportation. They were temperature controlled heat-wise, had a medical center, central washrooms/restrooms, sinks in cabins, library, lounges, dining rooms, bars, etc, like any cruise ship. Like all Holland American line ships, the crew and service personnel were extremely polite, kind, helpful and often illustrated their sense of humor.
Between the going and coming, I quartered at the dormitory for American students and studied French at the Sorbonne University in Paris. I toured the Continent using a Europass. Sleeping nights on the trains to save $$$, I would arrive in cities to tour during the day. That was my first trip to Europe, but not my last. When I finally lived in Germany for several years, I was able to visit many more places.
The Groote Beer, on the Holland bound leg of my journey, had to plow through a tropical storm with sea waves towering way over 30-feet. Fortunately, I did not get seasick like the majority of passengers. There were so many seasick cabin-bound passengers, during the storm it was almost like traveling on my own private ship.
During the storm, the most dangerous time was using the stairwells. Depending upon the position of the stairs, amidships or bow or stern, as you stepped down, the ship could drop many feet, letting you freefall toward the next step. When your foot hit the step, your whole leg was assaulted (with knees especially attacked) by the brunt impact force. Ascending the steps, you had to be careful that your knee did not hit your chin as the ship suddenly rose. If you did not hold on to the railings, you would have flown through the stairwell and could have been seriously hurt. The stairs had to be navigated to get to the dining room.
Passengers were assigned one of three meal times. Normally several hundred persons would be having their meals when I was. During the storm, there were only 2-3 persons who ventured out of their cabins to eat. The tables, already anchored to the floor, had edges to stop plates from flying off. What was available to eat was limited due to the precariousness of the moving dishes. I always ordered milk as my beverage. As it was very limited, the milk was served during the storm in a ceramic glass so no one else could see it. The staff served it to me on the condition I didn't tell anyone else I had access to milk. During that storm, beverages were served in wide mugs. I had to hold on to it so it wouldn't fly away.
The storm appeared to be strongest in the evening. About eleven o'clock that night I ventured out of the cabin to see what I could see. I headed to a lower deck and moved to the stern, staying close to the safe area of the outer wall. The distance between me and the tip of the stern was at least 30-40 feet. There was a roof above me, the base of the higher deck. There were no ropes or safety lines installed at that time.
I was fascinated to feel and see the ship move up and down and could have stayed there all night just watching the movement of the water and experiencing the shuddering ship motions. There was about a 400 pitch of the stern up and down and a sideways roll of about 300. If you moved your hand with such a pitch and roll, you would find it moving in a crazy, lopsided circle that would get you dizzy. What was fascinating was when the ship crashed downward. When that happened, water would cascade up into the air at least 50-feet and was pushed away from the ship due to the shape of the hull. I stood there about 20-minutes mesmerized by the sight of walls of water rising way above the ship and away from me. The sheer power illustrated by the water was enormous.
Finally, one of the handsome, middle aged, white suited officers walked by and saw me standing there. He did a double take, his face registering first shock and then anger. Remember, this was near midnight in the middle of a tropical storm. The wind was screaming. The waves were crashing. Water was flying everywhere, but primarily away from the ship due to the shape of the outer hull. I was getting some spray and was wet. The floor was wet, but I was against the back of the stern wall away from the edge.
The conversation which had to be screamed over the crashing noise of the ship and ocean went something like this.
Incredulous of my being there, he yelled, "What are you doing here?"
I replied, "Watching the waves."
"You're not supposed to be here!" His arms and hands were flailing about.
Staying close to the wall, I said, "I didn't see any signs ...."
Becoming more angry, he screamed and demanded, "Get inside, NOW!" Pointing to a door, I dejectedly went inside. Looking back I saw his angry face. I went to my crowded cabin several decks down which was shared with seven other women. They were all asleep in their separate bunk beds.
The next day when the storm had abated somewhat. I went back to the site where I had stood the night before and saw there were now thick ropes attached which limited how far one could move onto that deck. It was only then I realized how much danger I must have been in. Since it was the stern, I had been protected by waves washing toward me as they would at the bow of the ship. Had the ship turned and the wave action changed, I could have been washed over board. I never thought about that at the time. In my ignorance, I was just enjoying the moment.
I don't regret experiencing that storm one late night on the stern. I don't even have to close my eyes to visualize the wild and loud scene. What a vibrant and exciting experience that was! :-)
Thank you Holland America staff for protecting your passengers.
I added some links to angry seas below for you to enjoy.

Today's thought is:
Disappointment and Frustration
Many of us, whether we are conscious of it or not, create much of the unhappiness we experience. Our disappointments are the result of our own negative or limited thoughts about ourselves and our world. What are some of those limiting thoughts, those subconscious beliefs, which keep us from experiencing joy and wholeness?
One of those beliefs is that we cannot be fulfilled unless we are loved and accepted by those who are the victims of our past experiences, that we are too old or too set in our ways to change. Still another false idea is, It's a catastrophe if things dont go my way! Then, too, there's the self-defeating attitude that to love is to lose, so I'd better prepare for the worst to happen because it will. Two more irrational beliefs are, I have no control over my happiness and I want life to be easy and without hassles; therefore, I'll avoid discomfort or any new commitments.
TODAY I will see each disappointment in my life as a challenge to discover the negative or limited beliefs which keep me from seeing myself as a person of unlimited resources and potential.

Viewforth High School serves a local community on the East of Kirkcaldy which includes two of the five most deprived data zones in Fife. Over 50% of our pupils live in SIMDs 1 and 2; over one third of our pupils under 16 are classified as living in poverty and the entitlement of pupils to free school meals has been as high as 40%. Since the demise of mining and heavy industry, generations within families are simultaneously unemployed and the current local labour market shows youth unemployment around 20%.
Viewforth High School staff are united in the belief that the work they do improves the life outcomes for all of our pupils, including the most vulnerable, and helps our youngsters break free from the cycle of disadvantage. Staff pupil relationships are good as evidenced by the very low number of days lost through exclusion. Overall attendance is improving and staying on rates are well above local and national averages. This session over 93% of last year's S4 pupils have returned for S5 and almost 80% of S5 have stayed on into S6. These staying on rates illustrate the success of Viewforth's innovative approaches to the curriculum and partnership working in the senior phase.
The 'spirit of innovation' permeates all aspects of our work with many teachers taking ownership of new ideas because they see the benefits for young people. The school's S3 curriculum structure has been showcased nationally as an example of good practice and our partnership working with Fife College has been highly evaluated locally. This encourages those senior pupils in danger of missing out to make informed choices for their life after school by dividing their final year between school, college and meaningful employment.
Viewforth High School plays a key part in addressing the "Reducing Inequalities" and "Improving Outcomes for families and Young people" priorities identified in the Fife Community Plan. School staff, pupils and parents have worked closely with elected members, council officials and others to open a new Viewforth High School within the Windmill Community Campus, which will facilitate more joined up working with a wide range of co-located partners.
Viewforth High School is ready for the Scottish Attainment Challenge. Our track record proves our ability to innovate and the success of our senior phase augers well for these proposals for pupils in the BGE. The commitment of all staff to a holistic approach to raising attainment and achievement cannot be questioned. Our move to new school facilities within a new model for local government service delivery, with an expectation that things will be done differently, gives us confidence that the workstreams contained in these proposals are coming at the right time to be welcomed by pupils, parents and the wider community.
It is with pleasure that I, on behalf of the pupils, parents, staff and the wider local community we are privileged to serve, commend these proposals for your attention.

Comments in Excel can be stored in a cell and their locations are identified by a small red triangle in the top right of a cell. These comments can contain lots of text, carriage returns etc and can be very useful for a user in their own spreadsheet or a user wishing to explain specific parts of a spreadsheet to another user. Whilst the comments can be very useful, they can also become quite cumbersome and when there are too many comments in a worksheet it becomes difficult to see them and when the mouse moves over the cell, the comments can block out parts of the spreadsheet from view.
In these instances, or for times when you want to know what all the comments are, a UDF can be pasted into a VBA module which instantly opens up a new formula function to use in the worksheet or apply in a VBA script to extract all the comments to see in a cell.
Once this UDF is pasted into a module, it becomes a simple formula in a worksheet.
This will return the comment text from cell A1 in the cell where you have placed the formula. A VBA script could be used to analyse an entire workbook and return the comments in a list in a fresh workbook. Feel free to contact us using the form below for assistance, or leave a comment and we'll get back to you.

In this series we look at the business opportunities available in the competing nations of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Group E is perhaps the most beautiful cluster of nations in this year's World Cup. France, Switzerland, Ecuador and Honduras are all dream holiday locations, so what sort of business should you buy to turn a dream holiday into a dream lifestyle?
If we were to stick with our World Cup analogies, then Switzerland is surely the Brazil of the business world. The nation's long history of political and financial stability may have owed a lot to its geographical location in past centuries: landlocked, shielded by the Alps, in the very heart of the European mainland.
But for modern Switzerland, its neutral status, its control over its own monetary supply, and its highly advanced tertiary sector have all combined to make this small nation a safe haven for business and investment.
The real problem for today's entrepreneur is finding an enterprise whose niche market has not already been provided for in this strong economy. People in Switzerland work hard for their money, with some of the highest salaries and longest working hours in the Western world.
Perhaps a luxury home catering business, then - or a child care centre - would offer the perfect solution to the overworked Swiss.

Latin America's eighth largest economy has doubled its GDP since 1999, making it one of the territories to watch in the region. Along with its political stability, poverty in Ecuador has receded in recent years due to public spending programme aimed at spreading investment and establishing a more progressive economy.
This has allowed for the steady growth of a domestic consumer class, but at the same time has placed greater limits on free trade.
With its public spending above 40% and its reliance on petroleum exports as its main source of income, Ecuador may be seen as something of a challenge for an entrepreneur looking to set up a business in the region. However, the country is also the world's largest supplier of bananas, creating a great opportunity for any value-adding services like processing and branding. So: banana smoothies, anyone?

The French economy is, alongside Germany, one of the driving forces within the EU, making it a significant player in world trade. The French economy has however been struggling with a slow recovery since the 2008 banking crisis. The central government has increased taxes, and unemployment levels remain above ten per cent.
France is also one of the most advanced of the post-industrial nations, though it also retains a strong footing in high value export industries including computer technology, industrial components, and luxury produce. So if you cannot establish a successful blue chip aerospace manufacturer, you could try your hand at running a vineyard.

Honduras remains a developing economy, facing challenges in its attempts to modernise. With more than 60% of the population registered as living in poverty by the UN, Honduras is amongst the poorest nations in the Americas.
As such, it is a far from ideal destination for any retail or service enterprise looking to expand by selling to a domestic market. Much of Honduras retains an agrarian lifestyle, though the climate and mountainous geography imposes natural limitations on the amount of farming that can take place.
The primary produce of Honduras include many sought after commodities, from coffee and bananas to lobster and tobacco. Any organisation adhering to Fair Trade practices would find opportunity and rewards in this beautiful, yet underdeveloped country.

'Naturally talking' teddy garners support of Stephen Fry
Comedian Stephen Fry has given £5,000 to an entrepreneur from Aberdare for his new project - a 'naturally talking' teddy bear!
Mr Fry tweeted his support for the bear on Monday, writing: 'As an arctophile I couldn't resist backing this'.
The bear is currently still a prototype - as you'll see from the above video he occasionally interrupts people and had a little trouble naming the UK Prime Minister!
But the so-called 'supertoy' is now set to go into production after an online fundraising target was today reached.

Rollers are employed to level ploughed earth - they serve to reconsolidate (compress) overly loose soil and to crush coarse clods. This is particularly important, because such a subsoil is required for the smooth functioning of harvesting machines. Formerly rollers were constructed from wood and stone, though since the end of the the 19th Century they are almost exclusively made of iron.
Alongside crushing and compacting they often have the important function of depth control for tilling machines, as they always roll away the surface layer of the soil. Rollers are effective on the one hand due to their substantial weight, on the other due to their profile shape. In this respect, a distinction is made between smooth and coarse rollers. Smooth rollers are primarily utilized in the leveling of pastureland. In contrast, coarse rollers are used to break up the surface of firm earth/soil.

We will be running the ADDImpact course for adults diagnosed with ADHD again on 6 Thursdays from 2nd May – 6th June 2019. All you need is a laptop or tablet/IPad with a camera and microphone and you can join from anywhere.
There will be two groups – one running each Thursday afternoon from 1.30 – 2.30pm and one running each Thursday evening from 7 – 8pm. It's ideal if you can attend all 6 sessions.
The purpose of ADDImpact is to enable adults with ADHD to meet others with the same condition, share and exchange strategies and tips and learn more about ADHD in a safe, confidential, structured environment.
People who took part in the last ADDImpact online course said:
"I enjoyed being able to get together in a small group and sharing our experiences and thoughts together. Marianne who led the group was fantastic. She was a good group host and she was very well organised, I liked how she sent emails to me as reminders before the group day so I would be reminded of the group session coming up."
- "I was happy with the on-line format. I have disabilities which make it difficult to travel on my own. I also live quite rurally but this format allowed me to take part and I am sure there are others like myself."
- (The best thing was) "Hearing how others 'feel' about their diagnosis and where they are on their journey, and where possible pass on my strategies and hear theirs."
There are very limited places on this course (7 per group) so book yours today by clicking on one of the buttons at the bottom of this page.
Book for the afternoon sessions 1.30 – 2.30pm starting 2nd May
Book for the evening sessions 7.00 – 8.00pm starting 2nd May

2 Kings 23:4-6 New International Version (NIV)
4 The king ordered Hilkiah the high priest, the priests next in rank and the doorkeepers to remove from the temple of the Lord all the articles made for Baal and Asherah and all the starry hosts. He burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron Valley and took the ashes to Bethel. 5 He did away with the idolatrous priests appointed by the kings of Judah to burn incense on the high places of the towns of Judah and on those around Jerusalem—those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun and moon, to the constellations and to all the starry hosts. 6 He took the Asherah pole from the temple of the Lord to the Kidron Valley outside Jerusalem and burned it there. He ground it to powder and scattered the dust over the graves of the common people.

My breasts are fuller than normal. There is extra milk and Zoe is drowning when she latches on. I cry when she latches on-not because it hurts, because, let's face it, I am a nursing pro by now; but because there is no extra babe to take in the milk meant to feed him.
On Saturday, I woke up and went to the bathroom. I noticed a tinge of pink on the paper. I felt my heart sink a bit. I didn't say anything to Rob until Sunday when there was a little more bleeding. It was still not heavy, but it was bright red and I knew in my heart that I was losing our baby, but I wasn't yet ready to surrender to that. I called on Monday, our family practice doctor, Dr. Heidi Malling. I made an appointment to see her that afternoon just to see what she would suggest doing to verify whether or not I was miscarrying. With the girls in tow, I went in. We talked and she thought it was possibly some implantation bleeding (I *knew* it wasn't. I had pinpointed the days the babe implanted. I had very minor cramping that day and it was about 12 days after we conceived.) She suggested three things: 1) checking my cervix, but not doing a vaginal exam. Just opening my vagina with the speculum and peeking in to make sure my cervix was closed, 2)drawing blood to do a comprehensive hormone level test 3)scheduling an ultra sound for the next day.
We went with options 1 and 2. She checked my cervix and verified that it was closed tight and there was no trace of blood. We had blood drawn and the results were to be gotten the next day, Tuesday. She sent me home with the hope that things were well. Something inside me suggested that it was not okay though.
We got home and colored some pictures after I called Rob and reported what happened with Dr. Malling. I went about my normal afternoon routine, making sure to rest a little more though. I nursed Zoe to an overdue nap and did some dishes, vacuumed and tidied up a little bit.
We eat dinner rather late into the evening. We don't have an overall 'normal' schedule by most people's standards, as we don't bend our children to cater to our time frame, thus the reason I stay at home with them. I was making dinner and just dishing everyone up when I felt the urge to go to the bathroom. I went in and discovered my panties soaked in blood. I called Rob in asking him to bring a dish. I passed a number of large clots, then a spongy mass that we later disected and discerned was indeed Rune's cocoon. I passed quite a few more clots and it was over. All I had left was a lost baby and some bleeding. It was very surreal. I didn't cry much at first, just a few short bursts. it was just so intense I couldn't absorb it. I monitored my temperature and made sure to eat and drink. My body felt just the same as it did after I gave birth to Zoe and Grace. Very achey and suddenly empty.
I didn't sleep much that night. When I did sleep I had dreams of birthing a son but not getting to hold him. I squatted, pushed him out and he was taken away before I could grab ahold of him and bring him to my breast. I woke up at 4 am, needing to change my pad. I couldn't go back to sleep so I got up and did some reading on the internet. I cannot tell you what I looked at that early morning because I truly don't remember. I was in such a fog. I lost it a few times. I finally went back to bed around 6am. Zoe and Grace and I slept until 9:30. Rob had gone off to work.
I woke up and was just so heavy. The whole day seemed to fly by. I lost my cool a few times. I cried for our lost baby. I cried because I didn't have the strength or drive to play with my girls as usual. Grace was such a big girl for me that day and really helped and played extra with Zoe and helped me with things. We had breakfast and lunch and I slept a lot, but not real sleep. It was that in between worlds sort of sleep. My body needed the rest but my mind didn't want to sleep.
Rob and I laid in bed and sobbed hard that night together.
The next day wasn't much better. We planned to bury our newly named lost son, Rune Dustin. I wrote a ritual. I had to completely separate myself from the situation to be able to do it. I prepared our tools and prepared Rune in his jar.
I am not going to divulge the entire detail of the ritual as it was so hard to do. It was very emotional and intimate and private. We all cried a lot, hugged each other a lot. There was much comfort in the elements and the generations whirring around us.
After the ritual, Rob had his own fire and sat with the trees. He wrote a blessing to the Spirit, asking them to welcome our son, Rune. Death only parts us for a little while.
Last night I passed a few more clots, which I saved to give to Dr. Malling to have examined. Should I still be bleeding after one week, I will go and have an ultrasound to make sure nothing is being retained and I have not developed a molar pregnancy. There is no physical pain. I don't have pain laboring-which is what this was. There is emptiness, I feel like I have a hole in my body. There is no small soft bump where there was before. My heart feels like someone tore it out, stomped the shit out of it, spit on it and jammed it back into my chest. I am afraid to sleep. I dreamed almost two years ago that this would happen. I told Rob the dream the morning after I dreamed it. I knew long ago that we would conceive and lose a son and a daughter would follow him.
We named him Rune Dustin. Dustin is a family name and Rune means 'secret'. He was known to us for only a few weeks. Who he is, however, is a total secret to us. We will never know the boy he would have been and the man he would have become. Even still, he is our son. I have been pregnant and given birth to three children. Nature, the Gods and Goddesses, the Universe, saw that it wasn't Rune's time to be with us. They parent him now.
Thus far I have discovered that our children are not our own. They are merely entrusted to our care for a time. he may not be here, but Rune made me a mother for the third time. Now the Goddess nurtures him at her breast. Mine merely gift my nursling, Zoe with a bit more milk. Rune has a lot more to teach me and Rob. Time will be the deliverer of those lessons. There is much more grieving to be done. Rune is a part of us forever.

About the Standard Bank Young Artists
The Standard Bank Young Artist Awards are presented by the National Arts Festival Committee to emerging, relatively young South African artists who have demonstrated exceptional ability in their chosen fields but who have not yet achieved national exposure and acclaim.
Artists are nominated by members of the Festival Artistic Committee, fellow artists as well as by interested members of the public. The Artistic Committee, comprising established professionals from the various arts disciplines, decides on the final recipients.
Designed to encourage the recipients in the pursuit of their careers, a key aspect of the awards is that they guarantee the winning artists a place on the Main programme of the following year's National Arts Festival.
Apart from a cash prize, each of the winners receive substantial financial backing for their Festival participation, whether this is the mounting of an exhibition or the staging of a production.
A maximum of six awards are made annually in any one of the disciplines of drama, music, jazz, visual art, performance art, dance and film. Since the inception of the awards in 1981, more than 150 awards have been presented as well as five special awards to artists in recognition of their contribution to the National Arts Festival and the arts of South Africa.
The Standard Bank Young Artists for 2020 are:
Blessing Ngobeni (Visual Art), Lulu Mlangeni (Dance), Jefferson Tshabalala (Theatre), Sisonke Xonti (Jazz) and Nthato Mokgata – also known by his stage name Spoek Mathambo (Music).
How are winners selected?
Adjudication of the Standard Bank Young Artist Award is an internal discretionary process by members of the Festival's Artistic Committee. However, members of the public are also welcome to put forward their nominations.
Nominations can be done by email and should include a written motivation, as well as an up-to-date CV of the candidate and relevant contact details.
Completed nominations should be sent to the Artistic Committee via [email protected] by no later than 31 March for consideration for the following year – ie nominations or updated nominations would be for the year following, or, in some instances, the year after that as some winners are decided two years in advance.
Who are previous winners of the SBYA award?
Standard Bank Young Artist alumni often go on to achieve extraordinary and successful careers in the arts, creating work the contributes meaningfully to important national topics and challenging the status quo. Fêted on the world's stages and screens, in international galleries and concert halls, many are still actively working in – and enriching – South Africa's creative economy.

On October 19th, 1957 the Society of Petroleum Engineers was officially founded as a constituent society of AIME. [SPE became a separately incorporated organization in 1985.]
SPE's history begins within the American Institute of Mining Engineers (AIME). AIME was founded in 1871 in Pennsylvania, USA, to advance the production of metals, minerals, and energy resources through the application of engineering. In 1913, a standing committee on oil and gas was created within AIME and proved to be the genesis of SPE. The Oil and Gas Committee of AIME soon evolved into the Petroleum Division of AIME as membership grew and as interest among the members was more clearly delineated among the mining, metallurgical, and petroleum specializations.
Happy 60th birthday, SPE! With the strength of our global membership, we will see many more.

As a Short Sale "Specialist," my specialty is helping struggling home owners avoid foreclosure. If you're upside down on your home and you need to make a move you essentially have 7 options to choose from. More often than not people find that a short sale is ultimately their best solution, however, it's important that you educate yourself on all of your available options before choosing which one is best for you. If you have questions about how all of this might apply to you, please feel free to give me a call and set up a consultation. I'm more than happy to discuss your unique situation in person.
Your 7 Options to Choose From Are:
- Pay down your mortgage, and sell the property. This is an option if you have money to spare. We can sell your home and you pay the difference between what your house sells for and what you owe your lender(s). The positive to this is you can keep your credit intact. The negative is that you need disposable dollars to do this with.
- Short Sale your property. A short sale is where we will sell your home for less than what you owe. We need to negotiate with your lender(s) to accept less than what you owe. It will make a difference if your loan is a purchase money (non-recourse) or non-purchase money (recourse). Note: There can be tax ramifications depending on if you have a recourse or non-recourse loan. I can explain the difference if you give me a call. The positive is that you can pay off your loan(s) without any money out of your pocket. It's important to realize that in most cases, the home owner is zero dollars out of pocket when they short sell their home. Most if not all fees will be covered by some combination of the buyer and the bank. The negative depends on how many payments you missed. It can reduce your credit score 50-150 points.*
- Walk Away and allow your property to be foreclosed. This is a situation where you just walk away from your house. You can still have negative tax consequences and it can affect your credit by approximately 250 points. In most cases, a short sale is a better option.*
- Bankruptcy. Sometimes you will be advised to file bankruptcy. In a lot of cases, people will suggest this because they do not know about other options as mentioned above. This should be a last resort. It can affect your credit by approximately 400 points and your credit for for the long-term.*
- Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure. This is a situation where you basically hand the keys over to your lender. In most cases, the last thing your lender wants is the property back, and if they do, it is normally prior to foreclosure. At this point, your credit is probably already negatively affected by multiple missed payments. If you were current with your payments, why would your lender take the property back?
- Loan Modification with your Lender. This is a situation where you want to stay in your property, but can't afford your current payment(s). The lender might renegotiate interest rates or reduce your payment and add it on to the back end of your loan.
- Rent. You can rent your property out until the market turns upwards. In most cases, there will be a negative between the rent you're able to collect and your loan payment(s). Most of the experts feel this market will take 2-4 years to turn-around, though I feel those figures may be overly optimistic. You should be prepared to rent out your property long term and create a budget worksheet to see if you can realistically afford to be compensating for the difference in your mortgage in addition to the cost of rent for your own home stead.
*Reductions to credit scores are estimates only. Individual situations will produce varying results.
From the first time home buyer to the savvy investor – from the seller with equity to the seller underwater and needing options – I am here for you.

natural herbs
Careless Weed
Amaranthus palmeri
Herb: Careless Weed
Latin name: Amaranthus palmeri
Family: Amaranthaceae (Amaranth Family, Pigweed Family)
Edible parts of Careless Weed:Leaves - cooked as a spinach. The leaves can also be dried for winter use. Seed - cooked. Very small but easy to harvest and very nutritious. It is usually ground into a powder and then used with cereal flours in making porridge, bread etc. The seed can be cooked whole, and becomes very gelatinous like this, but it is rather difficult to crush all of the small seeds in the mouth and thus some of the seed will pass right through the digestive system without being assimilated.
Description of the plant:
Height:90 cm
(2 feet)
Habitat of the herb:Waste places and fields at low elevations, also in interior valleys and deserts in California.
Other uses of Careless Weed:Yellow and green dyes can be obtained from the whole plant.
Propagation of the herb:Seed - sow late spring in situ. An earlier sowing can be made in a greenhouse and the plants put out after the last expected frosts. Germination is usually rapid and good if the soil is warm. A drop in temperature overnight aids germination. Cuttings of growing plants root easily.
Cultivation of Careless Weed:Waste places and fields at low elevations, also in interior valleys and deserts in California.
Medicinal use of the herb:None known
Known hazards of Amaranthus palmeri:No members of this genus are known to be poisonous, but when grown on nitrogen-rich soils they are known to concentrate nitrates in the leaves. This is especially noticeable on land where chemical fertilizers are used. Nitrates are implicated in stomach cancers, blue babies and some other health problems. It is inadvisable, therefore, to eat this plant if it is grown inorganically.

Giving Voice
The newest addition to the Shoah Foundation's educational catalog is the classroom video, "Giving Voice." The Shoah Foundation brought seven students from around the Los Angeles area together for an intensive day of viewing testimony from the Visual History Archive and participating in follow-up exercises. Much like a reality TV show, the students were videotaped during the entire 12-hour day, while they watched the testimonies and worked through the exercises. After the day-long workshop, the students were each given a mini-DV camcorder and asked to create their own documentary of their friends and family and their surroundings at school and at home, all the while incorporating their emotional response to the visual histories they had viewed during the workshop. While completing their documentary assignment, the students made "candid and poignant observations about the examples of intolerance and bigotry they see every day and offer[ed] eloquent examples of how each of them strives to take responsibility for building a better, more tolerant world."
The program is available in both DVD and VHS format and comes with a teacher's guide and copies of the actual testimony the students in the program watched and reacted to themselves. Doug Greenberg suggests that this type of education product "doesn't put the onus on the teacher to try to figure out how to make this material relevant to young people today."
The Pyramid of Hate
In partnership with the Anti-Defamation League and Court TV, the Shoah Foundation has created a highly interactive classroom exercise that encourages students to:
- Look at their attitudes toward prejudice and bigotry
- Explore their personal experiences with prejudice and bigotry
- Analyze their roles and responsibilities regarding ethnic, racial, and religious bias
- Perform critical thinking in regard to focused examples of prejudiced attitudes, acts of prejudice, discrimination, violence and genocide
- Realize that intolerance, hate and prejudiced attitudes are what lead to violence and genocide
The lesson incorporates the Pyramid of Hate, developed by the Anti-Defamation League, and survivor and witness testimonies from the Shoah Foundation's Visual History Archive. In one portion of the lesson plan, students are shown several testimonies and are then instructed to match each testimony with a particular level on the Pyramid of Hate.

Is the demo supposed to be broken? I tried it twice, and both times the tutorial was either bugged or terribly bad.
When I finally got through all that, I tried a match. I thought it was nothing special. But then again, I haven't enjoyed a football game since WC98.

It's time for another skincare review! This time I'm going to be sharing my thoughts on the new XOXO silicone cleansing brush from Magnitone. Silicone cleansing brushes are all the rage right now, so I was very excited to give one a go for myself and see whether they are really worth the hype!
{ This post contains a pr sample }
Unlike the old school cleansing brushes this is made with naturally antibacterial PurO Silicone and uses Micro Sonic technology to cleanse, so no harsh brushes that can irritate the skin here! The silicone touch points on the brush transfer over 8000 micro vibrations into the skin each minute, something our hands can't do by themselves! Pretty amazing, right?
The brush has three different zones, one for oily/normal skin, one for dry/sensitive skin and lastly one for massaging the skin. You can also adjust the speed too depending on your preference and skin type - so it's completely customisable to your skin needs, unlike a lot of brushes similar to this one! Another bonus with this brush is that it has antibacterial bristles that are uniquely protected by natural silver-ions, so it's definitely a lot more hygienic for the skin too!
Design wise, I'm a big fan of this brush! It's super compact so perfect for travelling, and ideal for popping in your makeup bag for nights away! I also think it looks pretty cute too for a cleansing brush, right? Especially if you're a pink lover like me, but don't worry, they also have this one available in a lovely mint green colour too if you're not a fan of the pink!
Overall I'm really impressed with this brush, and really do think it's worth the hype! I've been using the brush in the evenings for my second cleanse. I still like to apply the cleanser to my face with my hands and massage it into the skin a little, then go in with the brush for a deeper cleanse. My skin instantly feels soft, smooth and refreshed each time I use it, so it really does feel like it's definitely giving my skin a really good deep clean without overcleansing or stripping my skin of too much oil like some harsher brushes can sometimes do. I definitely think silicone is the way to go now, especially if you have sensitive or dry skin like me as this one really does feel so gentle on the skin!
Long-term, over the last two months I've definitely noticed my skin looking and feeling quite abit smoother and overall just seems to have a much clearer and healthier complexion since using this. So, I'm definitely a fan and really surprised at just how good this little gadget is! I can really see why it's worth the hype now.
The only slight downside to mention is that this can break out your skin within first few weeks of using it, which happened to me during the first two but it's definitely been worth it! It wasn't a massive breakout just a few blemishes on my forehead and chin area, and didn't affect any other areas on me personally at all.
This brush costs £40 at the moment, so still on the pricier side but a lot cheaper than some of the pricier ones out there! For me the brush is definitely worth it, and I'm so glad I've discovered it. It's a game changer when it comes to cleansing, and feels like it does a much better job than using just my hands alone. I think this would especially be great if you wear heavier makeup daily, as this helps to remove any of the excess from the skin without overcleansing or stripping the skin like a harsh makeup remover can do.
Another thing to mention is that I've had this around 2 months now and still haven't needed to recharge it, which is pretty amazing, right? That's with around 5 minutes a night usage so you definitely don't have to worry about having to charge this one up regularly!
..and that's it! I hope you enjoyed hearing my thoughts on the new XOXO Cleansing Brush from Magnitone. I'm so pleasantly surprised with this one, I think silicone brushes are definitely the way to go now, and are a great investment for your skincare routine. I'm so excited to keep using mine!
Let me know in the comments if you've tried the new XOXO brush yet, and your thoughts?

Halunen Partner Gives Presentation on Food Labeling and Class Actions
Halunen Partner Melissa Wolchansky spoke on "The Effect of Pom Wonderful v. Coca-Cola on Commercial and Consumer Litigation" for the Food, Drug & Device Law and Consumer Litigation sections of the Minnesota State Bar Association. The presentation, given on August 7, 2014, addressed the impact of a recent U.S. Supreme Court case, Pom Wonderful v. Coca-Cola on consumer class action litigation. From a consumer perspective, this was a positive case because it allowed the plaintiff to challenge label misrepresentations by Coca-Cola even when the label met certain FDA requirements.

New York scored two second-half goals in a span of about 6 minutes and the Red Bulls rallied for a 2-1 victory over Atlanta United on Sunday night.
New York's comeback spoiled the inaugural Major League Soccer match for Atlanta United, the expansion team that had the support of a sellout crowd of 55,000.
Yamil Asad scored the first goal in Atlanta United history late in the first half for a 1-0 lead.
The Red Bulls finally pulled even in the second half. Shortly after Atlanta goalkeeper Alec Kann blocked a shot by New York's Felipe, the Red Bulls scored on a header by Daniel Royer in the 76th minute.
Officials ruled Atlanta's Anton Walkes kicked the ball into the Atlanta United net for the Red Bulls' go-ahead goal. New York's Bradley Wright-Phillips appeared to score the goal on a pass from Kemar Lawrence in the 83rd minute, but the decisive contact on the ball was ruled to have come from Walkes. >> Read more
