And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood. Genesis 7:7
Noah was a righteous, obedient and God-fearing man so it is no surprise to me that his wife possessed these same qualities. The Bible does not tell us her name and she is only mentioned in the flood story five times. Genesis 6-8
But this no-named woman, wife of Noah had an impact on the new world.
Imagine being married to Noah. Would your faith be as strong as his was?
It's a typical morning in the household of Noah and his family. Mrs. Noah prepares a warm hearty breakfast for her husband and three boys and sends them out the door to perform their daily chores. Hours later the men return and Noah says,
"Honey, God told me to build a boat. It's going to flood."
I can imagine the look on her face and the thoughts running through her head.
"Flood. I've never seen rain." Genesis 2:5-6
Being the woman she is she pulls herself and her thought together looks directly at Noah and says,
"You better get to it."
A gigantic boat the size of a two or three story building being built in your own yard would attract the attention of many on-lookers and no doubt stares and perhaps name-calling. His neighbors have labeled him as "crazy." I'm sure he notices the crowds that have gathered to mock him and yet he warns them to turn from their wicked ways.
I can see the heartache on Mrs. Noah's face as neighbors she once called friends have gathered to make fun of her husband. How painful that must have been for her to see. Putting her feelings aside she encourages Noah is in his efforts.
In Proverbs 31 we read the description of an ideal woman and I have no doubt Mrs. Noah is at the top of the list. Verse 25 says: she is clothed in dignity: she can laugh at the days to come.
"My husband is building a boat in the back yard because God is going to destroy the world for its corruption and evil ways, what is there not to laugh about?"
It was her positive attitude in the situation that allowed her to move forward.
Philippians 2:4-5 says: "Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus."
Mrs. Noah knew she could trust God. He had provided for her and her family in the past and this time would be no different.
- She did not ask for confirmation.
- She did not ask for a voice from above.
- She did not ask for a "banner in the sky" confirming the words spoken to her husband.
Her faith in God and the leadership of her husband led her family on a remarkable journey of new beginnings.

Tonya Masoner is a part-time legal assistant and full-time school custodian. She enjoys thrift shopping, pizza Sunday's and binge watching Netflix. She loves telling people-"God's got a sense of humor… I don't even drink coffee." Her Breath on Paper bio can be found here.

Dental Bonding
Tria Dental Tysons
Cosmetic & General Dentist located in Vienna, VA
A Tip from Your Family Dentist - Dr. Patrick Shine
Men and women of all ages dream about having a picture-perfect smile, but you may not know where to start. Dr. Shine and the highly experienced dental team at Tria Dental Tysons in Tysons Corner and Vienna, Virginia, are experts at dental bonding procedures to help you achieve the smile you've always wanted. Dental bonding is a relatively simple, minimally invasive cosmetic dental procedure that delivers the results you're looking for in just a visit or two. Call today or use online scheduling to book a consultation. A great smile is always in style.
Dental Bonding Q & A
What is dental bonding?
Dental bonding is the cosmetic procedure in which Dr. Shine applies a tooth-colored material to your tooth to repair it or improve its appearance. Dental bonding is one of the simpler cosmetic dentistry procedures, and you can often have your new smile in just one visit. Since the bonding material closely matches the surrounding teeth, the result is a natural appearance.
Dental bonding is great for men and women who want to brighten the shade of a discolored tooth, cover a chipped tooth, or close gaps between teeth. Dental bonding can give your teeth a more even color and shape. Sometimes, bonding replaces the need for a filling in a decayed tooth.
What is the dental bonding procedure?
There are a couple types of dental bonding procedures. For best results, Dr. Shine recommends the process of direct composite bonding. This technique was developed more than 50 years ago as an affordable dental procedure that easily improves your smile, often in just one visit.
At your appointment, Dr. Shine selects a material, often resin, that best matches your tooth color, then applies it directly to the tooth. He bonds the resin to your tooth and carefully sculpts its surface so it matches the surrounding teeth. Once he has the desired shape, he polishes the tooth so it looks natural. The result is a minimally invasive cosmetic smile makeover.
This cosmetic procedure requires a high level of expertise, and Dr. Shine and the Tria Dental Tysons team is well qualified in the specialty of composite bonding.
Is dental bonding permanent?
Depending on the type of bonding treatment and how well you care for your teeth, bonding can last up to 10 years or longer. Since some bonding material is not as strong as your natural teeth, proper care helps you keep bonded teeth healthy in the long term. Dr. Shine and the Tria Dental Tysons team advise against activities that could damage your dental work like chewing on ice, hard candy, or other substances that may potentially crack the bonded material.
As with any cosmetic dental procedure, the better you care for your teeth, the longer the dental work lasts. Proper care includes regular dental visits, cleanings, flossing, and maintaining overall good oral health so all your teeth, natural or bonded, look and function properly for many years. Call or schedule an appointment online to learn if dental bonding is right for you.
"Friendly staff + a convenient location + professional care = a great experience for my whole family!"
"Great experience as always. I have been going to them since I was a kid. They are always kind and they do great work."
"Everything about this practice is super professional and extremely friendly - I have been a patient for years, and keep coming back!"
"Everyone was so friendly and helped me keep track of time so I could make a work meeting. Thanks, Tria Dental!"

About one year ago this month, I had happened across my first ever personal finance blogs. Needless to say, I was hooked. Shortly thereafter, I decided that I would like to become a contributor to the discussion and created this blog (my very first blog of any kind).
Generally, my intent for this blog has been two-fold:
1) Create a forcing function to hold myself accountable and actually DO the things that are needed to achieve my financial goals
2) Create a means to share ideas and adopt the best ones from others (I certainly don't have all the answers and make mistakes!)
Often times, it is a glimpse into my financial life at 35, married with children (4) to a woman who thankfully shares MOST of the same values when it comes to personal finance. This is good, because if we were completely aligned, I would probably save everything for the future and not allow myself to fully appreciate and enjoy the present.
As of now, I have been either too short of ideas or too lazy (more likely) to have become rich. Until that happens, I am going the long way around by attempting to build wealth gradually, over time…bumps and all.

Maithon Dam - Dams in Jharkhand
Maithon dam is constructed over barakar river near dhanbad. Its an eminent tourist spot. It is flooded with people specially on new years as people emerge in huge numbers for picnics and all.
The Maithon dam in Dhanbad in Jharkhand was constructed on the Barakar River. The Maithon dam is the largest reservoir in the Damodar valley. The Maithon dam is the first underground power station in the entire south East Asia.
Being the biggest reservoir in the Damodar valley corporation, Maithon dam is located 52 km from Dhanbad. Initially the objective to build this dam was flood control, but eventually it serves the purpose of hydel electric power as well as tourist spots. A lake is adjoined to the dam, which is spread over an area of 65 sq km. The lake offers facilities like boating and fishing.
An underground power station installed at the Maithon dam is the first of its kind in south East Asia. The dam has thrived as a tourist destination for the past years, owing to the adjacent deer park, bird's sanctuary and Kalyaneshwari temple. It is easily accessible too. You want to know How to reach Maithon DAM in Dhanbad, Jharkhand, then you should know that nearest railway station is at Barakar 8 km away and regular buses are available too.

How To: DIY Speaker Wall Mounts
Whether for your new 5.1 surround sound system, your cramped media room, or when just wiring your home to fill it with music, it's best to get speakers off the ground, furniture, and other resonant surfaces, and up to ear level. And since non-powered speakers are actually not heavy at all, with less than $2.00 in materials and an hour of work, it's surprisingly simple to create custom brackets for mounting them on walls and ceilings.
Materials (for two speaker mounts)
- Two "mountable" music speakers, such as those sold for use in 'surround sound' packages (they'll have a threaded insert in the back)
- A 1 1/2" dowel rod
- 2x pieces of MDF or plywood, cut to about the size of your speakers
- Wood glue and clamps or heavy objects
- 2 x 10-32 bolts, 2" in length
- Electric drill and assorted bits
- Countersink bits (optional)
- 8x #2 drywall screws
1. Begin by cutting your MDF to the same size as the back panel of your speakers.
2. Cut, or have cut (ask at the hardware store), the dowel rod about 2/5s deep along it's length.
3. Cut the sliced dowel to the same size as your MDF.
4. Glue the cut dowels to your MDF rectangles, let dry, and then paint black to match your speakers, or whatever color matches your walls.
5. After the paint dries, use a 5/32 drill bit (or 3/16) to drill a hole through the dowel and the MDF at the same height as the threaded insert on your speaker. Pick the angle at which you drill based on what angle you want to mount the speaker. insert the bolts through this hole.
6. Drill a 1/4" hole through the entire apparatus to accomodate your speaker wire, near wherever your input jacks are situated. Then, drill, and countersink, if desired, pilot holes into each corner of the MDF.
7. Finally, using drywall anchors or mollys or whatever suits your walls, mount the speaker brackets onto the wall, drawing your speaker wire through before tightening the screws entirely. Spin on your speakers most of the way, then plug in the wire, the spin the speakers until secure.
8. Rock out!

At Devoran, we follow the Primary Advantage Curriculum for Mathematics, which covers the new National curriculum. Mathematics is an essential life skill and we want all our children to feel confident and enjoy using their mathematical skills. Children at Devoran are encouraged to develop a thorough understanding of the knowledge and skills through a concrete approach to learning. As their knowledge, understanding and skills develop, we extend and challenge them to apply their skills into real life situations through deepening their conceptual understanding. We place great importance in making sure that mathematics is interwoven into all subject areas taught at Devoran.
Daily maths lessons lay the foundations for this critical life skill as teachers follow the popular and effective PA Maths programme. It follows the new National curriculum and uses the Singapore approach to Mastery. The Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract approach is encouraged and the PA programme details clearly how this can be achieved for each learning objective to allow the children to explore mathematical concepts contextually.
Maths lessons occur daily. Children usually cover a theme each week and planning ensures that all learner's needs are met. Maths lessons are designed to be interactive with a significant emphasis on children's talk. Fluency, reasoning and problem solving are three themes of the maths National Curriculum and inform all maths teaching at Devoran.
'Check its' are used to assess the children's ability to apply mathematical concepts from previous lessons. 'Beat its' are used daily to improve pace and mental skills and 'Prove its' and 'Test its' are being used to further evidence mastery and show end of unit progress.
The PA Maths programme supports progression throughout the primary years and has a strong CPA thread running throughout. This means that children are exposed to conceptual ideas at a concrete level with a range of apparatus (e.g. counters, beads, Dienes and Numicon) before moving on to pictorial representations. This may mean diagrams, sketches or using the Singapore bar model to solve problems. Doing so develops children's deep conceptual understanding and skills proficiency which supports the next move into abstract mathematics, such as long division.
Maths lessons are designed to be interactive with a significant emphasis on children's talk. Through discussing their ideas, children construct new understanding, engage in a supportive community of practice, take responsibility for their learning and allow the teacher a window into their thinking which enables appropriate action to help them progress. Fluency, reasoning and problem solving are three themes of the maths National Curriculum (DfE 2014) and inform all maths teaching at Devoran.
Teachers and support staff provide targeted support and assessment to help all children make good progress in maths.

NARA Convention, circa 1964
Gregory Peck at a NARA (National Association of Radio Announcers, Inc., later to become NATRA) convention, probably in 1964. Left to right: Ken Knight, Gregory Peck, "Sir Walter", (unknown), and Novella.
Gregory Peck was the keynote speaker. Since this photo pre-dates the photo with the Supremes, I will guess that this is around 1964, just after Peck had given an Academy-award winning performance, starring in To Kill a Mockingbird (1963). Novella remembers him telling her, "I want you in my next movie!"
The original print of this photo was loaned to a media outlet in Houston, and never given back. This early-technology photocopy, unfortunately, is all that remains.

Throughout thousands of years of great civilisations, invasions, the birth of religions and countless cataclysms, India has proved itself to be, in the words of its first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, 'a bundle of contradictions held together by strong but invisible threads'.
Here's a list of famous monuments/buildings associated with the Indian freedom struggle.
Lucknow Residency
Built in 1800, the Residency became a stage for the most dramatic events of the 1857's First War of Independence, the Siege of Lucknow, a 147-day siege that claimed the lives of thousands. The compound has been left as it was at the time of the final relief and the walls are still pockmarked from bullets and cannon balls.
Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar
Reached through a gatehouse on the road to the Golden Temple, this poignant park commemorates the 1500 Indians killed or wounded when a British officer ordered his soldiers to shoot on unarmed protesters in 1919. Some of the bullet holes are still visible in the walls, as is the well into which hundreds desperately leapt to avoid the bullets.
Sabarmati Ashram, Ahmedabad
About 5km north of the centre, in peaceful, shady grounds on the river's west bank, this ashram was Gandhi's headquarter from 1917 to 1930 during the long struggle for Indian independence. It's said Gandhi chose this site because it lay between a jail and a cemetery, and any satyagrahi (nonviolent resister) was bound to end up in one or the other.
Cellular Jail National Memorial, Port Blair
A former British prison that is now a shrine to the political dissidents it once jailed, Cellular Jail National Memorial is worth visiting to understand the important space the Andamans occupy in India's national memory. Construction of the jail began in 1896 and it was completed in 1906 – the original seven wings (several of which were destroyed by the Japanese during WWII) contained 698 cells radiating from a central tower. Like many political prisons, Cellular Jail became something of a university for freedom fighters, who exchanged books, ideas and debates despite walls and wardens.
Aga Khan Palace, Pune
Built in 1892 by Sultan Aga Khan III, this lofty building was where the Mahatma and other prominent nationalist leaders were interned by the British for about two years following Gandhi's Quit India resolution in 1942. Both Kasturba Gandhi, the Mahatma's wife, and Mahadeobhai Desai, his secretary for 35 years, died here in confinement.
Netaji Bhawan, Kolkata
Celebrating the life and vision of controversial independence radical Subhas Chandra Bose, this house museum was Bose's brother's residence from which Subhas made his famous 'Great Escape' from British-imposed house arrest in January 1941. Some rooms retain a 1940s feel and the original getaway car is parked in the drive.
Gateway of India, Mumbai
Incorporating Islamic styles of 16th-century Gujarat, the Gateway of India was built to commemorate the 1911 royal visit of King George V, but not completed until 1924. Ironically, the British builders of the gateway used it just 24 years later to parade the last British regiment as India marched towards Independence.
Red Fort, Delhi
Converted to a barrack by the British, this massive fort is a sandstone carcass of its former self, but it still conjures up memories of the splendour of Mughal Delhi. This is where Pandit Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India, hoisted the Tricolour on Aug 15, 1947.

An approach to mechanistic event recognition applied on monitoring organic matter depletion in SBRs
Cruz Bournazou, MN, Junne, S, Neubauer, P, Barz, T, Arellano-Garcia, H and Kravaris, C (2014) An approach to mechanistic event recognition applied on monitoring organic matter depletion in SBRs AIChE Journal, 60 (10). pp. 3460-3472.

A fundamental practice in process engineering is monitoring the state dynamics of a system. Unfortunately, observability of some states is related to high costs, time, and efforts. The mechanistic event recognition (MER) aims to detect an event (defined as a change of the system with specific significance to the operation of the process) that cannot be directly observed but has some predictable effect on the dynamics of the systems. MER attempts to apply fault diagnosis techniques using mechanistic "recognition" models to describe the process. A systematic method for building recognition models using optimal experimental design tools is presented. As proof of concept, the MER approach to detect organic matter depletion in sequencing batch reactors, measuring only ammonia, dissolved oxygen, and nitroxides is applied. The event, that is, consumption of organic matter to a level below 50 gCOD/m3, was successfully detected even though microbial activity is known to continue after organic matter depletion.

And the final part of the JADE By Metrum Acoustics review by 6Moons
In these leagues, Cees Ruijtenberg's Metrum Jade—our man in black at left—is a still cost-effective technically sophisticated option with baked-in non-lossy precision volume control. It's fundamentally neutral and very resolved. It's not about prettifying the music; about adding ten pounds like a movie lens. If desired, such effects must be handled elsewhere in the chain. Jade's ambitions seem to be very high micro resolution from a very low noise floor at -145dB/2V; and from proprietary processing of the least/less significant bits which increases linearity and recovery to a claimed true 24-bit resolution where typical converters go soft. In the same context, the ambitions include volume control which won't compromise the rest; and stout 6Vrms/XLR drive for direct connections which still can be reduced via jumper to enlarge useful volume range for high-gain systems. If, as surmised, that was all of the design brief… mission accomplished; to the letter. And if you don't need variable gain because you already own a superior preamp, save some coin and go for the otherwise identical Onyx instead. Have stones. Will play. Black optional – but not the smile.
Read the full story here and be surprised what Jade and Onyx can do for you…..

I'm going to admit a shameful secret, so remember this is a judgement free zone. Here goes: I'm a recovering America's Next Top Model addict.
Man, oh man, when I had cable and there was a ANTM marathon on TV? I would sit there and watch the whole thing, it didn't matter if I'd seen it before, if I had anything else to do that day, if…… nope, if it were on I was watching. Jay Alexander, Miss Jay, uhhh… the guy judge, even Tyra.
But, as time when on, slowly, it began to irritate me, then I no longer had cable so marathons were not as easy, and the final hammer in the coffin? They changed the format, axing my favorite regulars, and adding a dumb social media element.
Sometimes you shouldn't meddling with a good thing.
So color me surprised today when I read that AMNTM is headed to Korea. Come on! Korea? Just when I think I'm past my addiction, Tyra, you've sucked me back in. It's like you're out to get me, personally.
Get this, not only is ANTM filming in Korea, they are also filming with Kpop stars! So far news reports have them filming with 2NE1–unsurprising that 2NE1 would be chosen considering their appearance on The Bachelor last month (NO, I do not watch The Bachelor). I don't think 2NE1 will actually be doing anything special, I believe they will just be guests at the last fashion show.
A little more integral to the show is the other Kpop band BTOB (Okay, I have no idea who these guys are.) The band will be judging how the contestants dance to their song Beep Beep. (Seriously, what does this have to do with modeling?)
So, of course, I'm going to have to watch this (It won't premiere until August). However, if these girls say anything mean or catty about my new favorite place ever? I will be very, very cranky. So keep it nice ladies, keep it nice.
Or. Else.

Conrad Mewse gave up his series lead in the 2019 Maxxis British Championship, when he fell in the second moto at Canada Heights and immediately exited the racetrack in need of medical attention. Updates are sparse currently, of course, as the incident only occurred a couple of hours ago, but the Hitachi KTM fuelled by Milwaukee squad posted the following information on social media.
"After gating P2 behind [Alvin] Ostlund, Conrad got taken out in turn two by another rider. Bas Vaessen had also made a good start but could not avoid his teammate who had been taken out. Conrad was forced to retire and went directly to hospital for assessment on his right wrist. Bas remounted but was way back and failed to gain any Championship points."
Updates on Conrad Mewse will be added to this page in due course, so check back regularly. Mewse ended eighth overall at Canada Heights, despite the fact that he did not score points in the second outing.

The food is good, but they ALWAYS forget the dressing. Has happened too many times now.
Posted 6 years ago by Lisa H.
The food is pretty abysmal. $7.00+ for a sandwich I wouldn't pay more than $3.50 for. The pre-made sandwiches you can buy at the local gas station or CVS probably taste better. The flavor was not that good and the food was cheaply put together.
Additionally, I requested the spreads for each sandwich I ordered to be put on the side and they didn't get my order right.
We have used them in the past once or twice and they were even 20+ min late once to bringing the food (where I work isn't far from them at all either.)
Needless to say, they won't be getting an order from us again.

Order was more than an hour late after promised delivery time. When I called the second time to check on it, the guy was incredibly rude and said they never promised it would be delivered by any specific time despite my explanation that I received an email promising otherwise. When I asked for a refund because we had to order from someplace else because folks were starving, he hung up on me.

Hello, I watched many pages trying to solve the issue Linux + Steam + Defcon. My authentication failed and Im able to play just demo. I tried it on my Windows machine and it is working (full version). I tried to delete authkey (both game directory and ~/.defcon) file but new authentication failed again. Is there any way to make Defcon working?

SSS: @ Aberdeen Ironbirds (BAL) 3, Brooklyn Cyclones 0
Rain curtailed this game to seven and a half innings on a night when the Cyclones' offense drew five walks, but collected just one hit.
John Gant: 6 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 10 K, 1 HBP. Interesting line. He was in the strike zone which is nice.
R (APP): @ Greeneville Astros 5, Kingsport Mets 3
Welcome to professional baseball, Ty Bashlor: 0 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 HR, infinite ERA. The Mets paid Bashlor, their 11th round pick out of South Georgia College $550,000 to sign, a record bonus after the 10th round under the new CBA.
On the other hand, Rob Whalen was effective: 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 8 K, 1 HR. Whalen, the Mets' 12th round pick a year ago out of high school in Florida, is a big-bodied 6'2", 200 lbs. He threw one inning in the Appy League last year and is off to a very good start this year: 14 K/1 BB and 8 H allowed in 11.1 innings.
Rosario Report18-year-old Amed Rosario was 1-for-4 and is hitting .160 (4-for-25) in his first six professional games.
R (GCL): Ppd by rain.
They got through four innings yesterday, and will try to finish the thing off today.
(edit: both games they were planning to play today were postponed by rain)

Union Pacific Rail Yard Would Include Features Designed to Reduce Brighton Traffic Disruption
Omaha, Neb., September 20, 2007 Traffic disruption at four rail crossings in downtown Brighton, Colo., would be reduced as part of the development of a new Union Pacific (UP) classification yard and intermodal terminal proposed between Brighton and Fort Lupton, Colo.
A classification yard and intermodal terminal currently located in Denver would be relocated to the proposed new site between Brighton and Fort Lupton in order to make way for two FasTracks commuter rail corridors, under a possible agreement between UP and the Regional Transportation District (RTD).
Plans under consideration include new sidings - a section of track parallel to the main line that allows trains to load or unload cargo or to pass each other - in both the new Brighton-Fort Lupton terminal, and in an existing automobile unloading terminal south of Brighton in Rolla, Colo.
"If the new facility is built between Brighton and Fort Lupton these new sidings would allow trains to flow through Brighton with minimal traffic disruption," said Dick Hartman, director - public affairs "Economic development is a critical element of our proposed rail yard, and we recognize that reducing traffic disruption in downtown Brighton helps address business, safety and community concerns."
Both upgrades are contingent upon UP and RTD's decision to move forward with the proposed relocation. The site of the proposed rail yard and the automobile unloading facility, located near Commerce City, are both situated on the 90-mile Greeley Subdivision corridor, which has served Adams and Weld counties since 1878.
Brighton business leader Dr. Rod Fair said UP's willingness to invest in sidings to help reduce traffic disruption demonstrates the economic development benefits of the proposed facility.
"UP has listened to our civic and business leaders and is willing to make a big investment to help us resolve a long-standing community traffic issue while it also offers Brighton a significant, long-term economic development opportunity," Dr. Fair said.
The Fort Lupton Chamber of Commerce recently voted to endorse the proposed UP facility. Chamber President Cris Howard said UP's investment will benefit both communities.
"UP is working closely with all of us to build a project that contributes to our economy and reflects the kind of communities we want to become in the 21st century," Howard said. "The $1.8 billion in estimated rail related development in the next 10 years could bring more than $500 million in purchases from Fort Lupton vendors and suppliers together with the addition of more than $970 million of payroll to Fort Lupton residents. This added economic development will directly benefit Fort Lupton Chamber of Commerce members as well as all of Southern Weld County."
Union Pacific and RTD have entered into an agreement to fund work that will allow UP to establish the feasibility and cost of its potential relocation. The work is scheduled for completion in late 2007, and a decision by RTD and UP on building the new facilities would be made shortly thereafter. If they decide to relocate to the Fort Lupton/Brighton study area, construction would take place in 2008-2009, with the new facility opening in 2010.
The proposed rail facility would consist of two types of rail yards - an intermodal terminal and a classification rail yard. A transload area will also be located in the rail yard.
An intermodal terminal is a highly secure facility used to transfer containers from rail cars to trucks or vice versa. Intermodal shipping involves moving freight by more than one mode of transportation. An example:
- An ocean-going container, loaded with consumer goods, arrives by vessel at the Port of Long Beach, Calif., from the Pacific Rim.
- The container is off-loaded from the ship and placed on a railroad flat car.
- The flat car is moved by train to the proposed Fort Lupton/Brighton intermodal terminal.
- The container is removed from the flat car and placed on an over-the-road truck chassis.
- The container is driven over-the-road to the customer in the Fort Lupton/Brighton or Denver area.
A classification yard is a sorting facility where inbound trains are broken down and reassembled into new outbound trains serving Front Range businesses. Goods such as lumber from the Pacific Northwest; steel from Utah and Texas and cement from Kansas and Wyoming are examples of shipments destined for area businesses. The proposed yard would consist of tracks:
- For arriving and departing trains
- Used to sort rail cars by destination
- For making minor repairs to rail cars
- For locomotive servicing and inspections
A transload area consists of several tracks where rail cars are positioned for Front Range customers to load or unload them.

CHICKEN strips sold by Subway in Canada contain less than 50 per cent chicken DNA, a study has found.
Samples were taken from five of Subway's oven roasted chicken fillets and five of their chicken strips, in Ontario – to be analysed by DNA researcher Matt Harnden, from Trent University, on behalf of CBC Marketplace.
According to CBC, the results revealed that the fillets used in the chicken sandwiches contained just 53.6 per cent chicken on average – while the sweet onion teriyaki strips contained 42.8 per cent.
The remainder of the DNA was found to be made up of soy protein. Luckily for us, British stores are not affected.
A spokesman from Subway UK and Ireland told Sun Online: "All chicken at SUBWAY® stores in UK and Ireland is 100% chicken + spices and marinade. There is no soy."
Most Read in Fabulous
In the Canadian CBC investigation, chicken samples were taken from items sold at four popular fast food chains – including McDonald's, Wendy's and A&W.
Most of the menu items were nearly 100 per cent chicken, with seasoning, marinate and meat processing expected to bring the percentage down slightly.
In fact, Subway's result was so surprising that researchers bought more chicken to test again – with the same result.
In a statement, Canada Subway disputed the findings. A spokesman said: "Our recipe calls for one per cent or less of soy protein in our chicken products.
"We will look into this again with our supplier to ensure that the chicken is meeting the high standard we set for all of our menu items and ingredients."
CBC Marketplace also found that, on the whole, the fast food chicken from across the chains contained a quarter less protein compared to home-cooked equivalents, and seven to 10 times less sodium.
Food scientist Ben Bohrer, from the University of Guelph, told CBC fast food chicken is often "restructured" – meaning it's made from smaller pieces of meat bound together with other ingredients to make them last longer and "add value".
Some of the ingredients used include honey and onion powder – all of which, Ben stressed, are completely safe to eat.

16/11/2018 @ 8:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Friday 16th November 2018 – a particularly warm welcome back to the Remi Harris Trio, who quickly sold out last time they played a barnstorming concert at the Hinckey ACT.
Remi Harris is an exciting guitarist from the UK who's unique style draws inspiration from Gypsy Swing, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Electronic and World Music.
With special guest Mick Mangan.
About Remi Harris
He has toured worldwide as well as performing at Buckingham Palace, Montreal Jazz Festival, BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall with Jamie Cullum, on BBC 4 Television and live on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 3.
In his live shows Remi plays an eclectic mix of original compositions, improvisations, jazz standards and new arrangements of music from Django Reinhardt, Jimi Hendrix, Wes Montgomery, Charlie Parker, Peter Green and many more. He plays a variety of acoustic and electric guitars and the shows are interspersed with his commentary about the history of the music and instruments he's playing.
Primarily self taught with the help of his Dad's guitar magazines and records, Remi started playing at the age of 7, initially inspired by rock and blues guitarists of the 60s and 70s such as Jimi Hendrix, Peter Green and Jimmy Page. In his late teens he developed an interest in jazz music, in particular artists such as Django Reinhardt, Wes Montgomery and Stan Getz. Since then he has been growing a reputation for blending all of his influences into his own individual style of playing.

Welcome to the KMG Consultants Inc. WordPress! Learn more about more company on our Twitter: @KMGConsultants
Sometimes success can be a bad thing. If you're a star at the start of your career it's possible to develop an expectation of success. This mindset means that you're not open to trying new things and that you're resistant to risk because it introduces the possibility of failure. Having a fixed mindset means that you see challenges as threats and engage obstacles with fear, not curiosity or even excitement.
To achieve success you must develop a mindset focused on growth. You may not have gotten great grades, but you always did the work and attacked problems with enthusiasm. A growth mindset is flexible, resilient, and passionate. It doesn't require genius because is comfortable with asking questions. You're not afraid of people knowing you don't have all of the answers.
Risk is Good for Business
Now that you understand the qualities of the fixed mindset and the growth mindset you probably think you've got everything under control. If only it were that easy! A mindset for growth can turn into a fixed mindset without you noticing the change.
As you advance in your career and are given additional assignments your growth mindset can gradually move from nimble to fixed. An increase in responsibilities comes with an increase in status, authority, income, and professional reputation. When someone has more to lose his or her response usually is to avoid risk.
Instead of imagining a variety of solutions to a problem you may chose not to act. If you're interested in advancing in your career—or even keeping your job—you must set up an interior warning system programed to alter you when you start to reject innovative solutions.
Failure is a Gift
When you, a team member, a colleague, a boss, or an employee wants to take a risk pause for a moment to consider the pros and cons and then make a decision. And here's the scary part—sometimes the solution you pick won't work. Don't panic. Don't blame anyone.
Recognize failure as a gift and take responsibility for the outcomes. Fixing the problem provides you and your team an opportunity to learn from your mistakes. You are a person with a growth mindset and you're able to turn failure into fortune.
Learn From Your Experience
The best strategy for managing failure is to keep a record of it. Once the project is finished and a solution is found you schedule a time for your team to review all of the successes and failures achieved on the road toward completion.
Together, you're going to perform a post-mortem, like investigators do on detective shows. They examine what went wrong. They discuss how decisions were made. They review the resources that were available during the assignment. They search to understand what happened, why it happened, and how it happened.
They also keep an eye open for out-of-the-box thinking, bold suggestions, and creative ideas that might not have worked for now but could work at another time or in another situation.
Follow these strategies and try out some of your own and you'll be well on your way to creating a success mindset.

I came across this tonight. Passchendaele the movie. You can see the trailer below:
Their website is: passchendaelethemovie.com
The website has some GREAT stories and shorts about the making of the film. Really good stuff. The film was done by Paul Gross, a Canadian film maker. He created this movie because of the stories of his grandfather Michael Dunne. Gross tells that Dunne was involved in a fire fight where every one of his men dies and he is left alive. He puts his bayonet on the end of his weapon and runs up over the trench towards the Germans. Only one German remained. The German extended his hand and said, "Comrade." Dunne bayoneted him in the forehead. Gross played that scene out in the opening moments of the film.
There is a nice part of the site that is 12 letters from Dunne. The letters are narrated by his grandson (and producer of the film) Paul Gross.
I'll probably buy the movie over the summer and check it out. You can find scenes on Youtube by searching for it. But, the language is such that we can't show it in class.

Happy New Year! In with the new…Posted: January 7, 2012 Filed under: Events | Tags: fresh unlimited, gmo-free, green gifts, Organic food, superfoods Leave a comment
We'd like to begin by thanking all of our customers for their support in 2011 and helping us make this a great year! We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in 2012 and provide you with more green gift options and even more information that will help you to make informed decisions about the benefits of purchasing and consuming green products.
Just to clarify here, because the term "green" gets tossed around quite a bit nowadays, when we refer to food, skin care and clothing as "Green", we mean that they were made with the highest quality organic and gmo-free ingredients. When we refer to durable giftware items as "Green", we mean exquisite items that were made in a sustainable way ie. using recycled or upcycled materials, that were fair traded or hand crafted.
Our foundational belief is that green can not only be as luxurious, stylish and indulgent as conventional products, but is also superior because of the additional attention that goes into making sure that these products cause no harm to our health or to the health of our planet.
One of our goals at Fresh Unlimited is to raise awareness about the increasing number of high quality green alternatives that are available to consumers. It is now entirely possible to live a greener life without depriving ourselves of the little, or even bigger luxuries we've become accustomed to, and we hope to inspire you to seek out these green options in all aspects of your life wherever possible.
With this goal in mind, we will be adding, in the new year, a new category to our current green gifts collection, one for Exotic Ingredients and Superfoods, a few of which can now be seen in our Wellness Collection and in our Gourmet Collection. This category will feature premium quality ingredients that not only provide rich and intoxicating flavors, but also a high level of nutrients, which unfortunately are sorely lacking in much of the conventional foods that are available to us today.
The love of good food is one that we all share across the globe but there is a prevailing belief that decadent foods can't also be good for us. Now, this may be true if we are talking about conventional foods that are grown in dead soils, laden with toxic chemical residues from pesticides and herbicides and then supplemented with chemical and synthetic additives intended to increase their shelf life and add flavors so that food manufactures can meet their desired profit margins. But if we look to foods that were grown in nutrient rich soils without pesticides and herbicides, as most superfoods are, and were then processed without chemical and synthetic additives, it becomes entirely possible to indulge in decadent and more flavorful foods that are also good for us.
The best of both worlds is possible: eating well, exploring and enjoying new and favorite flavors all while consuming the health enhancing nutrients our bodies so desperately crave. And this is what our Exotic Ingredients and Superfoods Collection will help you to do. Now that holds great promise for the new year!
Happy 2012!
Green Gifts Guide – Hostess Gifts (or Host Gifts)Posted: November 10, 2011 Filed under: Green Gift Guides | Tags: beeswax candles, gift baskets, glyceryn soap, green gifts, Organic food, organic gin, organic olive oil, organic rum, organic tequila, organic vodka, organic whisky, Organic wine, pink himalayan salt Leave a comment
Well, Halloween's over and that can only mean one thing… the holiday season is now underway and with it come the invitations to the various festivities and parties. Now is a great time to look into hostess gifts (and host gifts), especially for those last minute invitations.
Hostess gifts don't have to be elaborate, but it ultimately depends on the occasion and whether an overnight stay is involved. When it comes to holiday parties, however, hostess gifts are usually a small gesture of appreciation for being welcomed into someone's home.
Wine remains one of the more popular hostess gifts. According to many sources, wine consumption is growing in North America, with the US now the world's largest market for wine by volume (source: Gomberg-Fredrikson), though Canada's per capital consumption is a bit higher than that of the US. Wine consumers are also becoming more knowledgeable and more adventurous with an increasing interest in the different varieties of wine from different geographical locations. This presents an excellent opportunity for Hostess Gifts, particularly when it comes to Organic wines. There are now a number of excellent organic wine options and at varying price levels including some great local Organic wines such as Frog Pond Farms in Ontario, Summerhill Pyramid Winery in BC and Bonterra in the US. There are also a great number of excellent organic wines worldwide.
Spirits are also an appropriate gift and it is becoming increasingly easier to find Organic versions of spirits, especially vodka. Here are a few options
Organic Vodka:
Tru Organic Vodka
Square One
Rain Vodka
Organic Tequila
Azunia Platinum
Casa Noble Crystal Tequila
Puro Verde Estate Bottled Tequila
Organic Gin
Organic Rum
Organic Whisky
Pemberton Valley Single Mart Whisky
Bruichladdich Single Malt
Food Gifts
Food gifts, whether homemade or gift baskets are also a good option for a hostess gift, but etiquette states that the recipient should not be expected to serve the food gift as part of the celebration. Rather it should be clear to the recipient that it is intended solely for their enjoyment and left completely at their discretion whether or not to serve it. Our Fresh Unlimited Organic Gift Baskets Collection features a number of great options for hostess gifts, from our Coffee Bliss gift basket to a more elaborate Distinctive Gourmet Gift Baskets. Simple gourmet foods items are also excellent ideas, particularly for those who love to cook such as our Pink Himalayan Salt Gift Set or our Organic Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar Set.
Other great alternatives for hostess gifts include items that would add a touch of beauty to the host's home without overwhelming their decor. Our Tres'Or Beeswax Candle Cube Trio would add a nice touch of ambiance to any setting while our Glycerine Soap Trio, (three glycerine cubes in a translucent green and a translucent purple), would add a great touch of beauty and color!

Organic Minute Edition 1Posted: July 26, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: eco, Gates Foundation, GMO, green, Kentucky bluegrass, Michigan Organic Garden, Organic food Leave a comment
Welcome to our first edition of Organic Minute. We're still in the planning phase and working through the format but our intent is to provide a quick and easy way to keep you updated on the happenings in the Organic and Sustainable Living Worlds that are either helping or harming our ability to feed our family and friends the best tasting and most nutritious foods possible.
Currently, the biggest threat to our ability to eat Organic foods is the GMO industry. The US government has approved some new GMO crops which are known to be susceptible to pollination and can have a major affect on current organic agriculture including agricultural crops that feeds organically raised animals such as Kentucky bluegrass. THIS THREAT IS REAL AND URGENT. Any action, in fighting this is welcome.
If there are any topics you'd like to know more about, please let us know, we're open to suggestions.

Scale-out Architecture
OneBlox employs a seamless scale-out ring architecture supporting multiple OneBlox appliances presenting a single global file system. A ring may consist of one or multiple OneBlox, scaling from a few TBs to nearly 700TBs. With the OneBlox's unique architecture enabling enterprise features such as global inline deduplication and continuous data protection, organizations no longer have to allocate extraneous storage capacity dedicated solely for data protection. As business storage requirements change, OneBlox is extremely agile; simply add any number of disk drives, at any time, and in any capacity granularity to meet your storage requirements. OneBlox simply grows the global file system with zero configuration and no application downtime.
Dynamic Growth
Bring your own drives. No RAID, no LUNs, no volumes. OneBlox delivers the flexibility for organizations to mix-and-match drive types (SATA, SAS) and capacity (1-8TB) within the same OneBlox and within a OneBlox ring. Purchase exactly the capacity your organization needs at the beginning and then at any time in the future, increase capacity by mixing and matching any number of additional drives. In two minutes and zero configuration, OneBlox automatically pools the new storage within the existing global file system. No disruption to applications or users. No configuration settings to complete. No mouse clicks. No command line entries. No storage PhD required. Combined with OneBlox's powerful inline deduplication, storage waste is minimized and organizations are able to maximize primary storage utilization.
Agile and Affordable
The OneBlox agility to add storage at any time comes with the additional benefit of delivering significant cost savings. Exablox's bring your own drive philosophy treats commodity disk drives as commodities. Accordingly, every organization can purchase drives at retail prices and use any type and capacity drive within OneBlox. Gartner Group says that disk drives can account for 50% of the storage systems hardware costs. Avoiding the 5-10x markup from legacy storage vendors, this quickly results up to a 10x cost savings compared to other storage solutions.
Zero Configuration
OneBlox can be installed and available to users in less than five minutes with zero configuration. Simply insert at least three drives, plug in Ethernet, power, and turn it on. It's that easy. Need to add more storage? Simply add drives and the capacity is added to the same global namespace. Need to add availability or performance? With no interruption to applications or users, additional OneBlox nodes can be added and automatically configured, enabling organizations non-disruptive scalability with their business.
Cloud-based Management
OneSystem is a secure cloud-based management platform that proactively monitors, reports, and manages OneBlox in any location and from any browser. Eliminating the need for dedicated servers and time consuming software upgrades, simply login and gain the necessary insight into your storage infrastructure. Whether you have responsibility for a single location or multiple locations, OneSystem's administration capabilities empower you to manage the entire storage infrastructure. Simply and securely.
Data Protection
OneBlox's continuous data protection ensures that all of the information stored is fully protected. By taking continuous and unlimited snapshots of information written to OneBlox, every file can be easily recovered in the event of data corruption, deletion, or other errors. In fact, end users can recover their own information, simply by navigating through Mac Finder or Windows Explorer. No need to restore information from last night's backup, simply browse and recover.
Always on information
With its real-time replication, information stored in a OneBlox ring is fully protected. By avoiding legacy RAID technologies, OneBlox is able to transparently replicate and redistribute the data across multiple drives and OneBlox to protect against two drive or OneBlox failures. Additionally, with its advanced architecture, information is protected against an entire ring failure when replication over wide-area distances is implemented. OneBlox grows with your business' data protection requirements without requiring costly downtime, reconfiguration, or forklift upgrades.

Writers reach out to editors when they realize that their eye for errors has limitations. When writers have been working on a document for days, weeks, or even a year or more, they can become so close to the words that they don't see the flaws that can be so glaring to a reader. Professional editors are good at providing a different perspective. We see the errors in style format, but we also see areas that need to be clarified further in order for the audience to grasp the writer's argument-whether that audience is composed of members of a dissertation committee or peer reviewers at a journal.
There is no getting around the reality that editors do charge fees. I have had potential clients who have said, "I just can't afford it. I will edit it myself." Here is what I suggest for what you can do when hiring an editor seems out of reach for you.
My best advice is to plan to hire an editor. If you know that money is a scarce resource-especially if you are a student, it definitely is-look at your timeline and plan to save money so that you will have it when you need to acquire an editor. Also, often, you can pay part of the fee in advance to make a reservation with an editor. When you need to actually use the editing services, the editor will be available, and you will have had the time to save the other funds that you need to finish the job.
If you still can't afford an editor, find the best writer you know who loves you or at least holds you in the highest regard. Editing an academic document is a tedious process. Not only does the punctuation have to be in the place the style guide says it does, but the words have to be well placed. A misplaced word can totally change the meaning of a phrase. Also, academic language isn't business language, so the tone of the writing has to be consistent with the standards of the academy. Editing an academic document takes tremendous concentration and a willingness to do some research to clarify the writer's words. I often read journal articles in the field of the topic I am editing just to get a sense of what the peers expect and the kind of language that the writers use in the field. When you are submitting your document for graduation or career advancement, you want someone who will do the tedious work.
If you still can't afford an editor and you aren't loved or highly regarded by an excellent writer who will edit your document for free, consider doing the following:
In order to get a sense of what is expected, look at other similar documents (e.g., theses, dissertations, or journal articles) that have been approved. I did this when I was working on my dissertation. I looked for format and analyzed the general language of the dissertations. I looked at dissertations that had been approved by my department, dissertations in other departments, and dissertations in my field that had been approved at other universities. Complete the same kind of process for theses, journal articles, and books. Doing this will give you a greater sense of the expectations for academic writing.
Get a copy of the style guide that is allowed by your university for your discipline or the one required by your publisher. Your library might have one. Public libraries often have them. Don't depend on websites only to find information about style. The book will be more helpful because it will have more detail, including many examples. Buy a book if you can.
Read at least the first few chapters of the style guide. The first few chapters usually have information about the standards for academic writing. For instance, a style guide might have instructions on how to refer to certain groups of people so as not to offend.
At least, thumb through the next few chapters to see the kinds of topics covered. The style guide might address how numbers should be noted-written out or in Arabic numerals. When words have certain prefixes, they should not be hyphenated. Figures and tables need to be in a certain format. You don't have to memorize the book, but you do need to know the kinds of guidelines that are in the book so that you will know to look up instances that appear in your document.
When you edit for format, do so in stages.
– Make a list of all the citations in the text.
– Check these against the list of references at the end. Often, I find that some in-text citations don't make it to the reference list.
– Check to see that all entries in the reference list have been used in the body of the text.
– Check the format of each citation in text.
– Check the format of each reference entry.
Take a break from your writing. A week might be sufficient. When you return, you might be able to identify vague language and definite mistakes that you might have glossed over before.
Review the document at least twice. Take a break for a couple of days. Then, review the document again. I am convinced that little gremlins somehow drop various typos on a copy that was perfectly clean before. The only cure for such an attack is a series of close readings.
Again, my best advice is for you to obtain the services of an editor. Editors see what you don't see, and they don't take as long to review a paper as your trusted loved one might. Also, in many cases, they have worked with multiple style guides, so they aren't fumbling through style guides trying to figure out which arcane rule applies to your specific reference. Finally, editors know what clear writing is, and academic editors know what clear writing is for theses, dissertations, journal articles, and books.
If your budget is an issue, plan ahead. When you know your deadlines and writing timeline, contact an editor to get on the editor's schedule. Pay the deposit, and save up so that you can pay the balance when it is due. Best regards for completing the final stage of your document review.

Married to Laughter
Jerry Stiller discovered the power of comedy when, as a child, he saw Eddie Cantor transform an audience. Jerry's father often took him to vaudeville performances, where Jerry decided that he too wanted to make people laugh. After studying drama at Syracuse University, Jerry returned to New York to begin a life in the theater. Jerry soon met Anne Meara. At first they encouraged each other in their separate performances, but eventually they began doing a comedy act in the coffeehouses of New York's Greenwich Village. They created a brilliantly successful act with two characters who were exaggerated versions of themselves. Before long, they were regulars on The Ed Sullivan Show. Stiller and Meara was a smash hit.
But Jerry's first love has always been the theater. He tells us about his nearly 50 years in show business - from summer stock to the early days of Joe Papp's pioneering Shakespeare in the Park, from his Broadway performance in Hurlyburly to his roles in such films as The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, Seize the Day, and Hairspray. But most of all, he describes life with Anne, showing us his admiration for her as a performer and describing how she gave him the insight into acting that he'd long sought. Married to Laughter is a great love story about two people who found their place in show business without ever losing sight of each other.
"Warm, funny...Stiller is always amusing and easy to follow." (AudioFile)

Delightful Story
For anyone who remembers Stiller and Meara as a great comdey act from 40 years ago this is something you must listen to.
If you're under the age of 40 only know Jerry Stilller as George's father on Seinfeld, this book will be enlightening as to how someone in his 60's becomes a star for the "first" time.
It's not great literature but the behind the scenes story of Jerry and Ann is really fascinating. He narrates this himself which adds a great deal of the charm.
Very enjoyable, light fare.

An intimate and touching story
Jerry Stiller delivers a compelling intimate portrait. Some parts, I just teared up when he spoke about Anne. A must listen!

The issue nobody's talking about, and it's not race
By David Reinhard (bio)
OK, you want to talk issues. You're tired of talking personalities, character, experience and Sarah Palin's eyewear. You've had it contemplating whether Barack Obama's or John McCain's campaign ads are more full of lies and distortions. You're above all this bunkum. You want to talk about some substantive difference between the two presidential candidates that could shape the way we live — that could alter some basic American value — in the decades to come.So here's the issue. It's a big one that's below the surface and not getting a lot of attention, and it's not the racial issue. It's called card check.
Right now, when some workers are interested in having a union represent them, a private ballot election is most often held. These elections are overseen by the National Labor Relations Board, which established procedures to ensure that the elections are fair and free of fraud and employer-employee coercion.
Organized labor and its allies would like to change this and force workers to "vote" in front of union organizers and work colleagues who favor unionization. Their reasons are all too obvious. Their means of achieving this is the card-check election and the misnamed "Employee Free Choice Act."
The legislation would abolish a worker's right to a federally monitored ballot election with secret ballots. Instead, a union would be allowed to organize if a majority of a company's workers sign a card. Who would monitor the "card check" process? Nobody, really, though a worker's vote would be made public to the employer, co-workers and union organizers.
Gone would be an individual employee's privacy. Gone would a worker's right to make a decision on unionization without fear or favor. You'd have to sign the card or not in front of a fellow worker. You'd have to reveal to one and all your thoughts on joining a union. So much for the secret ballot.
Peer pressure, intimidation, the desire to get a signature gatherer off your back — any of this could prompt a worker to sign on the dotted line and make a decision he or she might not make in the privacy of the voting booth.
Question: How can this legislation be called the Employee Free Choice Act anywhere this side of George Orwell's "1984″?
In fact, the Employee Free Choice Act's "card check" would do more than put an end to the secret ballot for workers. It would in some sense disenfranchise many people in their workplace's decision to unionize. Union organizers would have to come up with the signatures of only half of all workers. In this rolling referendum, once union organizers have enough signatures on the authorization cards, the decision's made. The process is over.
And guess who keeps the signed authorization cards until the majority mark is reached? Union organizers.
On these issues, there's more than a dime's worth of difference between the two presidential candidates this year. Obama supports card check. "We're ready to play offense for organized labor," he told the AFL-CIO. McCain opposes it. He calls it "a poorly disguised attempt by the labor unions to swell their ranks at the expense of workers' rights and employers."
And, whether you favor card check or the private ballot, the two presidential candidates' differences on this one issue could have a profound and tangible impact on American business, labor and politics for years to come.
Many congressional Democrats and friends of organized labor seem to understand the importance of the private ballot and the risk of worker intimidation in its absence — when it comes to Mexico. "We understand that the private ballot is allowed for, but not required by Mexican labor law," Rep. George Miller and 15 other members of Congress, including Dennis Kucinich, Bernard Sanders and Barney Frank, wrote to Mexican officials in 2001. "However, we feel that the private ballot is absolutely necessary in order to ensure workers are not intimidated into voting for a union they may otherwise not choose."
What's good enough for Mexican workers should be good enough for U.S. workers — unless, of course, beefing up organized labor is your only goal. Now, there's an issue for you.

I think for everyone, nearly, it is the fear of rejection. As for failure, how can most fail when they never got started, which brings back your thought, fear of failure.
You can never fail so long as you have learned. <3 Such an inspiring post in such a great quick message! Thank youReplyDelete
Yes! Having fear is normal for everyone! Me, I can't picture out myself what will I do if I will be alone:(ReplyDelete
I fear failure too! One of the biggest fears is failing to be a good enough mum. but slowly I'm learning that everyday is me and my daughter teaching each other new things! I like the idea of doing something you fear once a month!ReplyDelete
I fear death. Well, I think a lot of people do. I feel that I still need to accomplish a lot things and I needed more time to do so. I would love to die because of old age. :)ReplyDelete
I am super scared about darkness, I cannot sleep alone in a hotel room thanks to thisReplyDelete
I fear snakes. But really fear them, I'm having nightmares sometimes that I am being bitten. I even feel the fear when I see a picture of a snake. Should I say I can't even watch videos with snakes? I don't know where this fear comes from as I never had any bad experience with a snake. I don't think that there's a cure for my fear. :)ReplyDelete
I think we have the same fear.Sometimes , I feel like I still have that pleasaholic tendency that makes me feel afraid to fail.But gradually I think I'm overcoming it because experience makes you wiser.ReplyDelete
I Fear , FEAR :)ReplyDelete
I am afraid of the ocean but I still love going to the beach. But I know once I learn how to at least float better than my dog, it will reduce my fear lol.ReplyDelete
We all have fears, my greatest fear is the fear of drowning, still working on it to improve my swimming skills.ReplyDelete
Nice simple post. Fear is most days a way of life for someone like me with an anxiety disorder. It's a simple truth that fear is in the mind and you do more damage worrying about what can go wrong than trying and realizing that your world does not end if you don't become as successful as you wanted at whatever you tried, but you did learn very valuable lessons!
I'm afraid of heights, but as ridiculous as it sounds it's more affecting my body than my brain. My legs feel like jelly and i feel vertigo, but my brain is like "nothing can happen to you wtf just do something"ReplyDelete
I couldn't agree more. Short but very deep post you have here dear! COngratulations :)
I fear death, rejections, and fear itself.ReplyDelete
True!if we let fear overcome us, what's suppose to happen will never happen. Right now, i'm also battling with some of my fears and i'm glad that little by little, as it may be, i am overcoming some of my fears.
Some of what's left are my fear of many tiny holes (i forgot the term and too lazy to google,lol) and fear of heights.
I have a huge fear of exploring underwater and I freak out whenever something underneath moves (even there is nothing really haha).. I am also afraid with flying cockroaches... hopefully I can overcome them somedayReplyDelete
