The city of Huelva is located on the estuary of the rivers Tinto and Odiel. Its urban development is concentrated along the left bank of the river Odiel, where the infrastructure of the Inner Harbor is located, as well as facilities of an important basic chemical industrial complex settled since the 1960s. This left bank of the Odiel river forms part of the Service Area of the Port of Huelva, and consists of marshes, dunes and river beaches that since the industrialization have suffered serious environmental degradation.
In order to environmentally restore the area and to promote the social use and the integration of the Harbour in the city of Huelva, the Port Authority of Huelva is undertaking various actions of social and ecological restoration in a stretch of five kilometers on the left bank of the river Odiel. Such actions are: the environmental restoration of marshes, dunes and beaches deteriorated over four kilometers, and the creation of a riverwalk of one kilometer in the most deteriorated marshes which are closer to the city of Huelva. The goals of the project have been the following:
– Diversification and conservation of protected habitats and species of high environmental interest, included on some European red lists.
– Enhancement of the natural resources of the area.
– Improvement and diversification in the functionality of the marshes due to the construction of an infrastructure adjacent to and above the marshes that connects the city of Huelva and the Port.
– Stabilization and restoration of the marshes.
– Erosion control in areas of low marsh.
– Environmental information.
After environmental monitoring studies, it is possible to show that the project has recovered with great success both, the ecological functions of the marsh ecosystem and the influx of citizens and tourist to the area. The project budget was 27 million €.

Putting a Stake in the Ground — Launching a Branch or Subsidiary in a Foreign Country
December 5, 2016
While trade garners the headlines, direct investment by companies or nationals of one country in assets or free-standing companies in another country is a much more significant part of the international economy. It is also much more important for companies–the commitment in money, time and risk is much more material than deciding simply to export products to a foreign market. A cross-border investment, whether a new green field project or acquisition, involves a whole host of decisions. The first is whether to serve a foreign market. For many companies, the local market is sufficient; and, as long as it is growing, they are happy to stay focused on that market. For other companies, once they have achieved a certain level of sales in the domestic market, whether in terms of total sales or market share, they must look to other markets for continued growth. In some cases, the other markets can be new products. In many cases, other markets can only mean new geographical ones. While both new product and new territorial markets pose advantages and risks, the choice often depends on where a company feels its competitive advantage lies. The wider its core competency, the more likely it is to expand into new products. The narrower it feels its competencies are, the more likely it is to take that narrow product skill into new geographical markets.
Once a company decides to enter a new geographical market, it is likely initially to serve the market in one of the ways described in other chapters–direct sales through exporting, indirect sales through local sales agents or distributors, or franchising. After awhile, if it discovers sufficient demand or believes it exists, the company is likely to decide to set up its own physical presence in the foreign country through direct investment. There are several common methods that may be used for direct investment. In a new chapter added this month to Business Transactions Solutions on WESTLAW (§§ 283:1 et seq.), we discuss the use and operation of a branch office or facility, sometimes referred to as a permanent establishment, in a foreign country and the creation of a wholly or majority-owned foreign subsidiary, sometimes referred to as a central enterprise. While the primary focus of the discussion in the chapter is the formation and organization of a new branch or subsidiary, it is possible to take over an existing operation in a branch or subsidiary structure through acquisition or merger.
When planning for the formation, organization and operation of foreign branches or subsidiaries, it is important to remember that the branch or subsidiary will ultimately need to perform many of the functional activities associated with any business. The range of activities, as well as the timing for introducing a specific activity, will depend on the strategic purpose of the branch or subsidiary. For example, if a branch is established exclusively to launch direct sales activities in the foreign country, then it is obvious that the initial investment should focus on those areas that support sales–recruitment of sales personnel, development of marketing and advertising campaigns, and customer support. Other functional areas, such as new product development and manufacturing, will continue to be handled at the headquarters level until the decision is made to establish those capabilities in the foreign country. However, even if the activities are limited to a single function, the branch or subsidiary will still need to establish procedures to satisfy accounting and financial requirements; locate suitable facilities and negotiate real property purchase and lease agreements; purchase and lease equipment and other personal property for the business; obtain insurance covering its activities; implement legal compliance programs; and establish management guidelines and human resources policies and procedures to recruit and retain qualified personnel.
Financing the new legal operation is obviously an important issue and many parent companies set up a simple form of loan facility agreement through which the new foreign subsidiary can easily obtain financial support from the parent in order for the subsidiary to conduct various operational activities. The subsidiary may have been formed and organized by the parent or it may be an established company in the foreign country that was acquired by the parent with the intent that it continue to operate as part of the parent's global network of businesses. While the subsidiary may attempt to obtain a term loan and/or revolving line of credit on its own from a local financial institution it may be easier to set up an inter-company loan facility that the subsidiary can use without having to abide by the restrictive covenants that will inevitably be imposed by outside lenders.
The specialty forms library in the new chapter includes a management services agreement, a consulting agreement for management of European subsidiaries, a services and royalty agreement, a general assignment and assumption agreement and intercompany loan facility for a foreign subsidiary. The chapter also includes a checklist of matters to consider when forming a foreign branch or subsidiary, a checklist for managing a global subsidiary governance framework, executive summaries for clients regarding ways of doing business in foreign markets and forming and organizing foreign branches and subsidiaries, and a slide deck presentation on forming foreign branches and subsidiaries. Related issues are covered in the chapters on Launching and Managing Global Business Activities (§§ 259:1 et seq.), Evaluating Foreign Markets (§§ 260:1 et seq.), Developing an International Business Plan (§§ 261:1 et seq.), International Sales of Goods (§§ 274:1 et seq.) and Cross-Border Investments (§§ 286:1 et seq.).

Eating clean, whole foods can sometimes be challenging with our busy lifestyles. We have errands, jobs, kids, work, social events, family dinners etc., and sometimes life is chaotic! However, there are a few tricks and tips that will help you stay on track with nutrition no matter where you are.
- Find a system that works for you. Investing in a small, portable and convenient way to transport snacks will help leave you with plenty of options during your long day. I found a bag at Staples that folds up flat so you can put it in the freezer! The bag unfolds and acts like a cooler for about 8 hours – brilliant!
- Prepare 3 or 4 containers at a time with meals that are easy to grab and go. Try making a larger dinner than usual, and packaging up the extra for the next 2 days lunch. Make a big batch of something versatile in the beginning of the week like turkey or black bean burger patties, sweet potatoes, spaghetti squash, quinoa, sliced veggies or scrambled egg & veggie muffins so you can save time later on in the week. Pre-measure portions of yogurt, trail mix, jerky, dried fruit, veggie sticks, hummus, peanut butter, rice cakes, protein pancakes, etc. in advance so you have healthy options at your fingertips.
- Stock up on healthy 'easy' foods like apples, carrots, sugar snap peas, rice cakes or raw almonds. These are a great quick snack that requires no thinking and you can call on instead of chips or cookies when you need something to eat quick.
- Keep healthy snacks everywhere. Stash a fruit and nut bar, apple, jerky, dried fruit, trail mix, rice cake, honey stick, etc. in your backpack or purse to always have in case of a hunger strike. You will be far less likely to over indulge if you keep yourself satiated with quality, whole foods throughout the day.

I am talking about my childhood dream hunk, David Bowie.
I used to dance around the house, singing the theme song to his greatest movie at the top of my lungs.
"Dance magic!" "Dance magic!" "Dance magic!" "Dance magic!!!"
Chantel and Amber knew to run when they heard this. I took the lyrics as instructions, and liked to incorporate them into my dance moves.
As Chantel mentioned in this post, my favorite babysitter introduced me to The Labyrinth at an early age.
It was creepy and weird and strangely seductive.
Everything a 6 year old could want in a movie.
Since it's October, the perfect month for creepy movies, I am going to do a giveaway.
Right now.
For this movie:
Or this version:
(you pick)
How to enter:
Leave a comment telling me what you love/hate about this movie. Or maybe a memory about watching it.
That's it.
.....Well, ok. I'll give you some more options.
For additional entries, follow me somewhere, or share this giveaway somehow. I'll leave those details up to you.
If you are entering multiple times, be sure and leave separate comments for each entry. That way I won't miss any.
This giveaway will end on Sunday, October 10, at midnight.
And it's open to US residents only (not because I'm a hater, but because I will be using my amazon super saver shipping, and I want that part to be free).
To see who won this giveaway, and to check out my Goblin King inspired hairdo, check out the post And the winner is...

Have you ever thought could we define humans as an some sort of "soul or spirit" inside a fleshly body that has to fight against sin, greed, feelings, angels, demons, diseases, illnesses, etc?
My Korean friend Jaeyeop Lee, who is a Emory University senior majoring in English and Economics says:
According to the Bible, human's body, mind, spirit, are one. The whole thing, body, mind, and spirit are once dead by the sin committed by Adam. However, once a person is born again through Christ, his spirit revives and ownes eternal lives in unification with the Holy Spirit.
However, our body and mind are yet fighting with the sin, because it is in the process of full salvation. when we die and go to the heaven, the salvation of their minds will be fully accomplished; they will be able to know and see everything (Corinthians 12:13). And our body will revive again when Jesus comes to the Earth in the time of final judgment (John 5:29).
Therefore, our body, mind, and soul are into one, and there are the difference of time to be saved, but in the end, all three parts of our existence is saved by Jesus.

It's coming down to the wire. There's a lot on the line. With the end of spring training only days away there is a lot of jostling going on with the rosters, a trade and three more guys were cut today.
May be more importantly, there was a change to the rules at AAA and AA this year…the addition of a roster spot. Teams at this level can now carry 25 players instead of only 24. While this may not seem important, it is. This one position can make the difference to two guys who are sitting on the bubble. Teams generally carry the largest compliment of pitchers, so this extra spot may allow an extra position player, such as a fielder a chance to stay.
While earlier in the week Derrick Mitchell was listed on the grouping list in Group 2, which generally refers to players at AA, the last three days he has played with AAA (which is where he was playing when he was hit with the ball yesterday.)
Today, he was playing hard. He seems to have picked up his bat and went 2 for 4, (2 singles) and stole a base. A good showing. My husband Ross captured one of the solidly hit singles on video. You can see it HERE
So his hard work is getting noticed.
On a sad note, the Phillies severed ties with four players today. As I reported earlier, Matt Rizzotti was traded to the Twins. Former BlueClaws players Bill Rice and Jeff Lanning were released. Also released was Brent Clevlen. Clevlen had experience in the Bigs, playing 59 games there. He had spent part of last year in Reading after being picked up after being released by both the Braves and the Reds.
I wish all of those no longer in the organization the best of luck in all their future endeavors.

Right, firstly, word of warning, its back to normal for the foreseeable future with blogs from now on, so back to twice a week, and all that. At least it gives me a bit more opportunity to use up material at a sane rate, I guess?
Well, I think I've resolved my first issue of 2017, my present to myself. Yes, the Hollywood trip is booked, I think. Flight is definitely booked, accommodation, I've made my choice, and requested it, but still waiting for confirmation on that. Yes, I'm waiting because I've gone for the apartment option, so waiting for that approval email at present. Given I sent a question to the guy, and he answered it, I'm assuming I'm not going to have any issues getting it, but until I get that confirmation, well…?
About one long block from Hollywood Boulevard (near Highland), and it looks fine, and I'm told there is somewhere nearby for provisions, so gone for it. So yes, for 10 days at least, a Hollywood resident again!
Make me a star? No, somehow I have my doubts, but who knows? I will go there with an open mind, and should the chance occur, then yes, I'll take it. I'll certainly plan to visit that agency this time around, arrange that appointment a lot further in advance than last time. But no, I wont rush to apply for the working visa just yet lol! Mind, if someone wants to tell me that I should? 😉
Probably only coincidence, but I was watching a documentary of the life of an actress, who won a competition, and became a famous actress because of it, Clara Bow. No, I'm not winning any competition, but if I could start with a small part, then…? Fine, I'm not 16, and its not that Hollywood Era, so… pretty sure I'll be coming back!
The video, a clue in the title I guess?

|US Light Tight Oil to 2040
- There will be little crude plus condensate (C+C) output from any plays except the Bakken/Three Forks in North Dakota and Montana and the Eagle Ford of Texas.
- The other LTO plays will come to the rescue when the Bakken and Eagle Ford reach their peak and keep LTO near these peak levels to about 2020 with a slow decline in output out to 2040.
Where are these "other LTO plays"? There are a couple of these in Oklahoma and Texas (in the Permian basin, Granite Wash, Mississippian basin), the Appalachian, the Niobrara in Colorado, and others (see slide 17 of the USGS presentation link below). Is it possible for these LTO plays to offset future declines in the Bakken and Eagle Ford? I hope to answer that in this post.

Trump's lawyer is completely out of his depth and giving bad legal advice: NYT report
President Donald Trump's personal lawyer has stepped in to defend the president in what appears to be shaping up into an obstruction of justice investigation, but sources close to the White House say that attorney Marc Kasowitz is out of his depth and dispensing bad legal advice to the president and his aides.
The New York Times said on Sunday that Kasowitz has told White House personnel that they will not need to obtain legal representation of their own and urged them not to speak to the media about the investigation into Trump and his campaign's ties to Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
"His visits to the White House have raised questions about the blurry line between public and private interests for a president facing legal issues. Mr. Kasowitz in recent days has advised White House aides to discuss the inquiry into Russia's interference in last year's election as little as possible, two people involved said. He told aides gathered in one meeting who had asked whether it was time to hire private lawyers that it was not yet necessary, according to another person with direct knowledge," wrote the Times' Rebecca R. Ruiz and Sharon LaFraniere.
For the president's private lawyer to address administration officials — who are government employees — in such a manner and in an open setting is highly unusual, said lawyers from previous administrations to the Times. In doing so, Kasowitz bypassed the White House's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) and more than one attorney has reportedly been deterred from working with the White House by Kasowitz' inexperience and lack of knowledge with cases of this kind.
"The president's private lawyer is representing only his interests, not the interests of the United States government or the individual interests of the White House staff," said former counsel to the Obama White House Robert F. Bauer.
Kasowitz is a civil lawyer more used to working as a "fixer" for Trump. His other clients include ousted Fox News host Bill O'Reilly. He is known as a pugilistic and ruthless litigator, but Washington observers say this type of approach is entirely unsuited for a case as complicated and wide-ranging as the Russia investigation.
The Times said that Kasowitz' other main clients are also raising eyebrows. They include, "Sberbank, the largest state-owned bank in Russia, which was sanctioned by the Obama administration, and Oleg Deripaska, the Russian tycoon who is close to President Vladimir V. Putin and had business dealings with Paul Manafort, once Mr. Trump's campaign chairman."
The advice to White House employees not to get their own lawyers is directly at odds to other presidential administrations' responses to legal jeopardy. This week, Vanity Fair's Abigail Tracy wrote an essay titled "Why Everyone in the West Wing Will Need to Lawyer Up," which explained in detail why "(o)perating in a White House under investigation is fraught with peril….The greatest risk aides face is being accused of obstruction of justice or perjury."
When witnesses are called before multiple investigators and face questioning from multiple prosecutors, grand juries and Congressional committees and must repeat the same stories over and over, they are exposed to increasing legal jeopardy.
"Multiple appearances are a prescription for difficulty because every time you are asked to tell the same story, the risk is that you will tell it differently . . . and that's a trap for perjury and false statements," one D.C. defense lawyer told Tracy. "You have to have somebody prepare you, you have to have somebody monitor to make sure that you are testifying truthfully each time you are asked . . . you have to be ready to make sure that you are being consistent."
Kasowitz represented Trump in the Trump University fraud case, in which a judge ordered Trump to pay $25 million in settlements to students who enrolled in his series of seminars. The New York attorney has threatened to sue an number of individuals who have made less-than-flattering comments about Trump, but in many cases failed to follow through with legal proceedings.
Last week, Kasowitz threatened to file a complaint with the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) about ousted FBI Director James Comey's heavily damning testimony regarding the president. The Trump team has yet to follow through, but critics say this only nudges the White House closer to an obstruction charge if they appear to be intimidating a witness. This could potentially undermine whatever line of defense the OLC is preparing and expose the president and his aides to further legal peril.

General work visa (Tier 2)
You need to:
- have a valid certificate of sponsorship for your job
- show you're being paid an appropriate salary for your job
- prove your knowledge of English
- have personal savings so you can support yourself when you arrive in the UK
- show you can travel and your travel history over the last 5 years
- have tuberculosis test results if you're from a listed country
- provide a criminal record certificate from any country you've lived in for 12 months or more in the last 10 years, if you'll be working with vulnerable people
You need to have an eligible qualification if you're switching from a Tier 4 visa.
Certificate of sponsorship
A certificate of sponsorship holds your personal details and information about the job you've been offered. It's an electronic record, not a paper document. Your sponsor will give you a certificate of sponsorship reference number to add to your application.
You can only use your certificate of sponsorship reference number once. You must use it 3 months after getting it.
Appropriate salary
You'll usually need to be paid at least £30,000 per year or the 'appropriate rate' for the job you're offered - whichever is higher. Check the appropriate rate for the job you've been offered.
Check the guidance for situations when you can be paid less - for example if:
- you'll work as a medical radiographer, nurse, paramedic or secondary school teacher in some subjects
- you'll work as a pre-registration nurse or midwife
Personal savings
You must have £945 in your bank account for 90 days before you apply. This is to prove you can support yourself.
You do not need to prove this if you have a fully approved ('A-rated') sponsor who can give you at least £945 to cover your costs for a month if you need it. Your sponsor must confirm this on the certificate of sponsorship.

A Reputation management solution required to protect from fraud, perjury, hacking, scam, impersonation, Identity-theft and misrepresentation
I am reminded of 'Die Hard' wherein Bruce Willis reprises his role as Detective John McClane. He puts his life at state to save the Federal State from a group of criminals using Internet to devastate America's infrastructure.
Similar and more grievous internet attacks have surfaced world across in the recent past; affecting individuals, organizations and countries alike.
A mid-year survey in 2016 found that 80% of the businesses in the U.S. have been hacked at-least once.
"The internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow."- Bill Gates
As true as Mr. Gates has been in predicting the world's progress on the digital highway, criminal minds across the world found a new avenue to create menace.
Instant financial gains by hacking have obviously been trending, but vast majority are done simply because they cause major embarrassment to the entity hacked.
A recent incident, wherein the official website of the elite National Security Guard (NSG), India was hacked into to cause embarrassment to the Indian Prime Minister, thus malign his image nationally and internationally.
This came as a striking piece of news since India has been playing a pivotal role in providing a technological edge to the Asian Sub-continent.
Hacking attacks are being made possible using social engineering techniques. In order to protect a reputation from being tampered upon it is important to understand how social engineering works.
Social engineering utilizes influence, deception and manipulation to make an insider act in a wishful way so that the hacker gains access to the desired website.
Today we know it for a fact that hacking attempts happen every day. The most common reasons breaches happen are by mistake, stupidity, intentional targeting, unintentional targeting, employee mischief and simple theft. Stupidity is often considered the number one reason.
A reputation protection mechanism today is about 'layers'. The online protection has become a priority need further empirical to perimeter security. It is also important to maintain the response posture in the event of being hacked. The key is not to panic. Protection under DMCA also helps keep you secure. And the best resort is to seek monitoring services from online reputation firm, dedicated to maintain and protect fragile reputations online.

You'll be used and no query is going to be inquired. The most critical part is really to pick a theme. It's employed while the matter of the article necessitates investigation. You should rate the topic by supplying three or more cases of the supporting evidence. When an individual is hunting for argumentative research paper subjects, an individual need to remember that the matter has to be something that you are able to clearly have a mean. Even in case the pupils have the opportunity to believe of a exceptional little bit of writing, they're not prepared to give it a convincing beginning. It's additionally vital for students in regards to English Language examinations. Therefore in case a pupil is needed to write an official notice but goes forward to compose it utilizing the incorrect structure, then he or she's seriously reprimanded.pay for paper writing Higher college pupils in many cases are required to compose essays within their school tasks. Effective composing is needed forever – extended achievement.
Let us rapidly consider a some of the advantages of hiring ghostwriters on your article marketing.
For people that are a novice to argumentative composition writing, it's recommended to begin with some simple matters. Autobiography essays aren't centered on any celebrated characters. There are several sorts of essays and each one of those includes a unique format. If you are going to look for the passing composition beginning notions over the internet you are certainly heading to locate hundreds of those but in case you would like some outstanding beginners then you are able to study the subsequent focus grabber propositions to begin your passing essay. Foods are also transported to different countries, and this is an issue of concern, especially in the big event of perishable products. Many states homogenize with the worldwide consumers in addition to adopting new generous notions. Developing lands or labor intensive nations have gained the most. A state that has abundant organic resources is in spot to advancement moreA quickly than the usual nation that is poor such resources. Individuals may assume that you're lazy.
When undertaking any kind of home purchase, you ought to generally seek expert advice.
Hundreds of argumentative essays are composed on these types of subjects and you couldn't maybe create a new discussion for these topics. Ordinarily the consequence isn't severe. Capital punishment really isn't the proper manner of punishing a person for a crime he's dedicated. Usually, basic phrases do not demand commas. An simple word is one which has one primary topic and verb. At current, globalisation is during its maximum. In the actual sense, it has not been able to lessen poverty.
If this be problem and upon me demonstrated, i never writ, or no guy actually adored.
Thought to be among the most important edges, it has led to the generation of several employment opportunities. In economic, political, and cultural terms, it really helps to join people all around the world. The decision may be composed of a number of phrases. Although it really is simple and can be attained in a handful of sentences, it's a really critical element of your article which you shouldn't ignore. It's with this debate that there's no simplicity to the notion of globalisation. Once you have finished this, consider the argument which you need to aid and whether you are able to provide proper proof showing your point. For that reason, it truly is critical that you write down the basis for the declaration.
Because you will possibly not have a course doesn't mean that you can miss per day or two.
The thesis statement should discuss the home idea which you are likely to present in your essay. You will find three sorts of thesis claims.

Chelsea are well known for splurging big money on top players since Roman Abramovich came in to the club a decade ago.You can buy buy NFL 16 Xbox 360 Coins or cheap fifa 16 coins for xbox 360 there, and get more latest European Cup and fifa 16 game news.
But their latest offering is for a stadium rather than a player.
Chelsea have finally got the go ahead to redevelop their Stamford Bridge home extensively and they are apparently ready to put Tottenham's noses out of joint by offering more than the North London club to use Wembley as a temporary home from 2017. The Telegraph states.
While the 'per season' bids of Spurs and Chelsea for Wembley are thought to be at a similar level around the £15million mark, the Blues' overall offer is potentially worth £60m to Wembley over the course of four years.
Spurs are also looking to redevelop at the same time and Wembley is the obvious choice for both clubs, due to the facilities and overall capacity. But Chelsea's offer would appear more attractive to a Wembley organisation which is still paying off the money needed to fund the stadium. While Tottenham only need the stadium for a solitary campaign, Chelsea would need it longer-term.
And, as has become customary in The Premier League, Chelsea appear ready to blow their competitors out of the water with their financial muscle.
The report states that Chelsea will not countenance a ground share with Tottenham, who begin their own £400m redevelopment in 2017.
Chelsea make four-year bid to land Wembley.
A place to discuss all aspects of Clue/Cluedo.

Spinoza was one of the most original thinkers of 'modern' philosophy. Highly unorthodox, he lived a simple and basic life. He rejected academic fame as it would have constrained his intellectual progress and independence. This best reflects his stance on the practical object of philosophy and the emotional sense that we can not be happy with impermanent things such as fame, riches and pleasure.
This philosophical thought is closest to Buddhism. As he is very much opposed to institutionalised religion, he experienced great hostility from the church and his contemporaries did not understand him. However, Spinoza was a deep religious thinker as his belief in God was profound in his philosophy. He tries to explain the sense that there is an eternal unity to the universe. This unity is illustrated in that the universe is made of the same substance and this substance is God itself. Everything is made from Him, He is infinite and unfolds Himself to the world.
Spinoza arrives at this view of the universe through rationalistic observation in the quest for certain knowledge. For him, knowledge regarded in the highest esteem is intuitive knowledge. Viewing how he lived his own life, we can see he practically tried to live according to his philosophy. He was a man who tried to rise above passions and individual perspective. In this was he is not exclusively rationalistic, opposing to start from individual perspective.
Spinoza takes Substance as his starting point and the idea which is to be "the source of all other ideas". He defines Substance as "that which is in itself, is conceives through itself." The Ethics makes tight arguments for substance monism. A substance is, in this view, what exists in itself. It does not involve the idea of any other thing: it is conceived through itself. The question what it is seems to be answered simply by the affirmation that it is.[1] There is only one substance: God. He exists simply as everything. Spinoza believed that God, Man, and the physical world were all part of one substance, and that everything, both physical and spiritual, was an extension of God. This is Pantheistic monism, the belief that all of reality is in some sense made of the same substance, and this substance is God. Spinoza's conception of knowledge starts from the idea of the whole, and for which all other ideas have a meaning and reality only as they are determined by or seen in the light of the idea as a whole. Spinoza's definitions in Book 1 of the Ethics provide strong arguments for substance monism. Attributes, argues Spinoza, is not just any property of a substance, but its very essence. A mode is what exists in another and is conceived through another.
"By mode I understand the affectations of a substance, or that which is in another through which it is also conceived."[2] Spinoza goes on to argue through propositions that God is the one and only substance. "In nature there cannot be two or more substances of the same nature or attribute."[3] If two or more substances were to exist, they would be different, either there would be a difference in modes or difference in attributes. Spinoza proposes that there can be no two substances with the same attributes nor one common attribute; all substances are different, have different sets of attributes, therefore these must derive from the same substance. "Except God, no substance can be or be conceived."[4] Since God possesses every attribute, if any substance other than God were to exist, it would possess an attribute in common with God. But since there cannot be two or more substances with a common attribute, there can be no substance other than God. Everything is one and the same thing. This view is closest to Buddhism and eastern philosophies. This rejection of classical theism found Spinoza in conflict with institutionalised religion.
Spinoza supposed God to be a being such that if God exists at all, he exists by his very nature, not deriving his existence from anything external to itslef. Thus conceived, God cannot be thought of as ever coming into existence or ever ceasing to exist. In brief, it is all that exists, it simply is all. Reality itself, maintaining whatever exists, exists only in God and can have no existence apart from God.[5]
Human beings are finite, constantly aware of something greater than themselves. An emotion, for Spinoza, is a confused idea. In this way, emotions are unreliable and misleading. Individual perspectives are heavily influenced by emotions, therefore can not be reliable. We must therefore rise above our emotional states to tap into a higher knowledge. Spinoza defined three different types of knowledge. What he distinguishes as knowledge of the first kind is inadequate knowledge. This comprises knowledge of random experiences and knowledge from signs. These lack rational order and are associated with previous experiences or basic knowledge. It is characterised by bondage and suffering of those who are ruled by the emotions and trust their sense perception.
The second form of knowledge in the hierarchy of Spinoza's three distinguished knowledge areas is that of reason. This is derived from the formation of adequate ideas of the common properties of things and the movement by way of deductive inference to the formation of adequate ideas of other common properties. This order of ideas is rational. The third kind of knowledge is the highest form of knowledge, called intuitive knowledge. It is through this that we can gain 'the intellectual love of God.' It involves the understanding of necessity of nature and the inevitability of human mortality. There is an indication that the connection between the individual essence and the essence of God is grasped in a single act of apprehension and is not arrives at by any kind of deductive process. How this is possible is never explained.[6]

David Tepper's Appaloosa Management Among First Quarter Hedge Fund Leaders
In case you're not a Tepper-ophile, he is the one who earned about $4 billion last year from gains on his own capital in his funds, making him the highest earning hedge fund manager.
David Teppers Appaloosa Management is still galloping at full speed. In the first quarter of this year, his main funds climbed 14.5 percent net while Thoroughbred, which must invest at least 70 percent of its assets in fixed income, was up around 11.4 percent net.
Not too shabby considering Tepper who last year he racked up a 133 percent net return in Appaloosa Investment I fund and 129 percent in Palomino thought this year would be choppy and tougher to make money. In case youre not a Tepper-ophile, he is the one who earned about $4 billion last year from gains on his own capital in his funds and his share of the fees, making him the highest earning hedge fund manager.
The Pittsburgh native and one-time Goldman Sachs head junk bond trader is widely thought of as a distressed investing expert. But, he is actually an eclectic investor, who typically devotes about 30 percent to 40 percent of his assets to equities. After assessing the big picture, Tepper looks for the best value within the capital structure whether it is bonds, preferred stock, bank debt or equity sometimes engaging in capital structure arbitrage.
He also is not afraid to be the first in, either. Or the only one in an investment, for that matter. Last year, a big portion of his gains came from the battered banks especially Bank of America and other financial companies, which upset glib populists like MSNBCs Keith Olbermann, who tried to convince his disciples that tax-payers actually bankrolled Teppers $4 billion in earnings. Nice try.
Tepper, who managed $12 billion at the end of 2009, also has a strong stomach and ice water instead of warm blood. Twice this past decade his funds surged by triple digits after losing 25 percent the prior year. According to sources, last year Tepper took his hedges off at the right point and played currencies at the right point. He also bought collateralized mortgage backed securities at the beginning of the year and sold some credit-related securities and equities.
Although credit spreads have tightened sharply since the financial crisis, Appaloosa still has some positions in credits, believing there is more room left for spreads to tighten. It also believes there is more money to be made in the CMBS market. In fact, although Tepper told me in an earlier interview he plans to give capital back to investors which he has done on several occasions in the past there still does not seem to be an indication he is close to doing so. Sources say he is waiting for the markets to get closer to fair value.

So it is Thursday, July 30th 2015, the day before my final day at Tti School in Camden Town, and I have been asked to write a 'blog' about my six years experience here. As you may have heard I enjoy writing (and speaking for that matter); but at this juncture I feel at a loss as to how I might put into words, sentences, and paragraphs a period of my life I may look back upon as the happiest.
But here goes: after travelling South America I returned to London in the summer of 2009 broke, broken-hearted, lost and adrift. As we all know one must work in this city, or drown. And so it was, completely fortuitously, that Tti responded first to the 20 or so CVs I catapulted onto the internet the day Michael Jackson died. I barely remember the interview nor recognised at the time how significant it would turn out to be.
A lot can happen in 315 weeks: the Olympics, the Conservatives, a royal wedding; I got engaged – married; moved house five times; grieved my dear grandmother; became an uncle, twice; tried to leave the school – then realised I am actually a teacher; the DELTA; three principals; three directors of studies; a new building; and so many members of staff you couldn't fit them all in the study lounge.
But I do not wish to bore you with tales of people you may not have met. All the faces, characters, teachers, lessons, stories, crises and laughs live on in the walls and the corridors; just ask Bridie and Guy, Sian, Mike, or Melissa (the ones who have been here throughout). And in fact, I have so many memories they all blend into one. And I guess the same may be true for us all, whether you have left or not because, if you're still reading, then this unique place of learning and life has also left an indelible mark upon you in some way.
As such, there is not much I can say which you do not already know: how welcoming, distinctive, and joyous the school is; how colourful and mad it can feel at times; and how hard everyone works with such spirit and camaraderie, the like of which is diminishing in a society driven by bureaucracy, greed and profit. Most likely you've consumed this positive energy and given plenty back yourself. You've certainly become a finer teacher, or, you've sat in all kinds of classes and been amused, inspired, met everyone in the world, and broadened your knowledge of the world's lingua franca.
You've probably even trudged to Camden in the dark winter months wondering 'Why?' I have many times, and trust me, it's even worse on a hangover. I have always been a restless person – a rolling stone gathers no moss – and with this in mind a plan formed: to leave London and see the world, for a time at least.
And I thought leaving would be a happy occasion – onto a new adventure! It certainly is exciting; but it is also clouded in melancholy because I feel as though I am leaving home again. Six years ago I entered the school a confused, wild, and agitated young man, and I leave older and more certain of my role and place in the world. Of course, this is not only down to working at the school; it is just that Tti has been the background of my life for so long I can hardly imagine a different one.
To end then, over the years I have seen many different incarnations of Tti School and, who knows, I may see more in the future. But right now I would like to say something about the so-called 'Tti spirit' – that while it has fluctuated with circumstance and the seasons, it is evident to me that at present the school is thriving; thriving because of the warm and generous people with whom I have been lucky enough to share this inimitable atmosphere; people and an energy I will sorely miss.

Cis privilege is being allowed to exist at a time and in a place without having the cops called on you for prostitution. Cis privilege is not having to worry about being arrested for not having a prescription for the medication you desperately need because insurance companies won't cover it due to transphobia.
This woman, Meagan Taylor, should never have been arrested. But thanks to transmisogynistic and whorephobic hotel employees who failed to mind their fucking business, she had to deal with police going through her personal effects because the employees thought she and her friend were "males dressed as females" and assumed they were sex workers.
This is fucked up on the level that they misgendered these trans women and assumed they must have been there for sex work, and on the other level that criminalizing sex work that many trans women have to turn to in order to survive lands them in jail for doing other things they need to do to survive (obtain affordable hormones).
And Taylor's one of the lucky ones. Trans women who have been arrested for sex work and other survival methods often end up stuck in a male prison where they suffer the kind of abuse and violence that I can't even think about too hard. Taylor was released, thank god, but too many trans women remain in prison because of our transphobic, transmisogynistic society.

A COMMON SYMPTOM (10 statements unbelievers don't believe about the Bible)
This in respond to a blog that was posted some time ago on a Christian blog forum by a professing Christian that obviously does not really believe in true Christianity. The blogger made 10 statements that they did not believe about the Bible and what I found is these are not just statements or beliefs from Christians on the theological fence but these are statements that unbelievers would make as well in fact these statements are nothing new.
Because these statements are common in today's world view I will take each statement as its own otherwise this can become a long drawn out blog so in order to keep your attention we will focus one statement at a time and this is statement 2, you can check out my first blog on these statements at A COMMON SYMPTOM, STATEMENT 1
"I don't believe the Bible explains the time and manner of earth's creation and population accurately. The Creation accounts in Genesis are not scientific writings designed to instruct, as much as they are poetry and song meant to inspire. They should not be read as a literal explanation of the fashion or timetable of what Science clearly tells us were the far older and more gradual evolution of life than a literal Biblical translation contends. Genesis 1 and 2 are a who story, not a how story.":
Understandably one who lacks faith and trust in God will question God's creation. If we cannot believe the Bible is the real inspired word of God then how can we believe God created all things much less in 6 days.
There is much debate in the creation theater; secular science today has muddied the waters that have divided Christians on how many days to how many billion years old the earth is. One thing is for sure Genesis is not a who story but a real account on God creating the universe, the earth and its inhabitants. Nehemia 9:6 and Acts 14:15
There is a debate on how many years the earth is and it falls under good credible conversation. Both Greg Koukle and Ken Ham have a radically different perspective on the earth age yet both will agree Genesis is a story on how and why God created the earth Christians can agree on this.
People that do not believe in the sufficiency of the word of God will of course be incline to believe the account of Genesis is poetry and song and a story of who. The problem with people that do not consider the Bible as the sole word of God is the who is only two people when in fact the who needs to be on more than a man and a woman, there is a creator involved and eventually a redeemer involved. Isaiah 44:24 "Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, who formed you from the womb: "I am the Lord, who made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself"
The complete understanding of God's time table is not needed fully. Understand even today when secular science throws out time tables it is not concrete but a theory. Science uses dating that can be fallible; there is not exact perfect way to date God's creation.
Some Christians use God's word (Bible) along with archaeology, the flood and other scientific anomalies like volcano and earthquakes to help date while other Christians use stars and light years to help their definition of the date of the earth. Either way does not diminish what God has created and how he created and why he created.
To say the Genesis account of the earth population states that writer of Genesis is not in literal is to have no credibility. When you make a statement like what is made in first statement "I don't believe the Bible was dictated by God" then we can fully understand why a person cannot believe in the full account of Genesis 1-2 and how man and woman flourished.
If Genesis and the Bible is not a full account of how and why God made everything do we then fall back on the worlds view of evolution and big bang and if so then how did that start and as a Christian would then one begin to compromise the word of God. To not completely understand how society became many is to deny how God made his creation or a coward of the truth.
It was Martin Luther that said " But, if you cannot understand how this could have been done in six day then grant the Holy Spirit the honor of being more learned than you are" Simply stated we know what we know because God lets us know.

volunteering with Hope
Volunteering is really important at Hope, which is why we are accredited by NCVO under the Investing in Volunteers scheme for the quality of the volunteering experience at Hope.
Read about our work with volunteers on the website of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO), here
Volunteers fall into three groups, external individual volunteers, service user volunteers, and corporate volunteers.
Read snapshots of volunteer roles HERE
Between them our volunteers do an extraordinary amount of work for Hope, across the whole range of what we do, from working in our kitchen, gardening, growing food for our cafe and foodclub, befriending homeless people in our day centre, sorting clothes or donated food, painting and decorating, project managing, running arts or fitness groups and classes, picking up food from donors, fundraising and much more.
You don't have to work directly with service users, but if you want to , and you are over 18, there are lots of roles available, but you can also work behind the scenes too, in accounts, admin, IT, marketing, campaigning……. There are some off-site roles for groups or individuals under 18 but all client facing roles are 18 or over.
We can accommodate corporate groups, and of course, individuals. Our oldest volunteer is 97.
Most roles are on weekdays, but our day centre is open Saturday mornings and we open every bank holiday and Christmas day. There are some fundraising related activities in the evening and weekends but most volunteering is daytime.
HOWEVER – during the winter period 2019-20 we need additional volunteers to enable us to open for extended hours in our day centre from 1pm to 8 pm seven days a week on cold days, helping us offer a warm, safe enviornment to up to 60 rough sleepers a day. If interested, contact Hope via 01604 214300 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
We invest in our volunteers with training and rewards, including tea parties and barbecues in recognition of the great work they do. There is a role for anyone with time on their hands. If you have a specific skill, or none, we can find something for you to do!
If you want to volunteer at Hope, contact us by ringing 01604 214300 or by emailing email@example.com.
Specific needs or roles may be advertised on our jobs and volunteering page.
John has been a befriender in our day centre for nearly three years. he has become an essential part of the team, making every attendee feel welcome and supported. His word quizzes and games are really popular!

We have wanted to take the boys to the circus for awhile and felt like they had finally reached great ages where they could actually enjoy it. The Shine Circus came to town this month so we took advantage of "Buy Two, Get Two" tickets and headed out for a day of fun!
We really had a lot of fun and already are planning to go again next year.
We left the Circus and got dinner before heading home. It was really a great day!

10 Ways to Fight your Gobbledygook
Terence Denman is an instructor with the Plain English foundation where they use the term gobbledygook to show a mistake we usually make while trying to speak and write clearly.
Here the 10 points he suggested in his book, How Not to Write:
1. Don't use the passive when the active works better.
2. Don't use a noun when it hides a verb.
3. Don't use any noun you don't need.
4. Don't use a complex preposition when a simple preposition will do.
5. Don't waste words at the beginning of a sentence.
6. Don't intensify a word unless you have to.
7. Don't use an unnecessary adjective.
8. Don't use unnecessary auxiliary verbs.
9. Don't forget to use the imperative mood of the verb; and,
10. Don't use the of-genitive too often.
Yes, I know. It should be called the 10 Don't points! Let it alone. Further information can be reached at Terence Denman's book.

A entire generation of vacationers, it appears, are so conditioned to use the Internet for journey booking that they don't seem to be even positive how a travel agent operates. If you will have thought-about beginning a home enterprise, however are afraid to quit your full-time job, a travel home-based business is simply best for you. Contact individual accessible: Each particular person traveling with The Global Work & Travel Co. is assigned a trip coordinator and has entry to a dedicated toll-free hotline out there 24/7 in case an emergency arises.
A travel agency is a non-public retailer or public service that gives travel and tourism related providers to the general public on behalf of suppliers reminiscent of airlines , automobile leases , cruise traces , inns , railways , and package excursions In addition to dealing with abnormal vacationers most journey agencies have a separate department devoted to creating journey arrangements for enterprise vacationers and a few journey businesses concentrate on industrial and business journey only.
Online travel companies should also offer some type of a assure in your purchases that no foreseeable motion on their half or the a part of the service supplier will interrupt your journey. What you may also discover when working with online travel companies that you should have an ideal range of strategies to pay for the holiday, offering larger flexibility and financial selection. The third common expectation that it's best to have for your on-line journey company is value competitiveness. Listen to recommendations from close friends and relations who have used journey consultants up to now and who can advise you on the benefits of hiring their services.
The dwelling based travel businesses that fall into the reserving and promoting companies class often work with one journey agency. Timing of the journey choices or services required by the shoppers could also be the base of segmentation. The fourth benefit of booking a cruise with a journey agency is that you would be able to rely on their experience that can assist you make the best decisions doable on your travel. I recommend writing articles which are based mostly on the packages which might be offered by your journey agency. Travel companies tackle all of those particulars that you could be not have even thought of.
If you propose a visit with a travel agency, you might need to signal a contract that protects the travel agency in case you don't pay, try to again out of the holiday, or get damage while touring. You must also determine how you'll travel to your level of departure, what floor transfers you might need, and methods to make add-ons to your travel to spend further time in different places or embark upon side trips.

Beginning in July and continuing into fall the DDA will be overseeing its regularly scheduled maintenance work in many public parking structures. The work includes replacing and repairing concrete, sealing cracks, reapplying deck coating, painting and stair work and will total more than $800,000. Our goal is to take care of the little things along the way so they don't become big things. This reinvestment ensures the continued health of an important part of downtown infrastructure.
While this work will necessitate certain areas within the structures being closed to parking, monthly permit holders will always be able to park with their permits. We will also be diligent to keep the footprint of the work contained as much as possible to allow for ample hourly parking. Specific timing and project information will be posted at each location as work begins there. We appreciate your patience while this important work is being done.
Areas of focus this year will include-
· Concrete repairs and coating work in the Maynard Street stairwell.
· Sealant work at the roof level of the Forest structure. Waterproofing and coatings work inside the structure, as well as facade work.
· Concrete repairs and coating work at 4th & Washington.
· Concrete repairs at the Ann Ashley structure.

Farmhouse Red Ornaments Quilt
Farmhouse Red Ornaments Quilt
Hello, my name is Christine and I am your average crafter over at catinthegrass where I dabble in all sorts of fun stuff, but really show my obsession for all things quilting!
At my house, Christmas lasts almost all year long! I love Christmastime; from the decorations to the songs to the celebrations and of course the gifts! So even though the new year has just started, in my book it's never too soon to be thinking of Christmas gifts. I designed this pattern as a challenge to myself to use only one Charm Pack, a gift I received from my local quiltshop...and that one charm pack plus some background fabric became my favorite quilt of 2017! So here I am making it again, but this time in the gorgeous Farmhouse Red fabrics by Minick & Simpson.
This quilt/project finishes at 68" x 75".
1 Charm Pack* {Farmhouse Red by Minick & Simpson}
3 yards background fabric {Bella Solid in Snow}
1/3 yard Ornament Cap fabric {14853-12}
1 yard Borders #1 and #3 fabric {14857-11}
1 1/8 yard Border #2 fabric{14850-13}
4 yards backing fabric {14856-12}
1/2 yard (piping) binding fabric {14855-13}
1/3 yard binding fabric {14854-21}
(or 5/8 yard binding fabric - if not making piped binding)
*This quilt is made with 42 ornament blocks, I used two charm packs for my Farmhouse Red version so I could avoid using the very light colored charms
Prep Work:
Cut (7) strips 1 ¼" X WOF
Sub-cut (3) strips into 1 ¼" Squares, need 84 (Mark the squares diagonally, corner to corner)
(4) strips will be used for strata unit
Cut (6) strips 2 ½" X WOF
Sub-cut into 2 ½" square, need 84 (Mark the squares diagonally, corner to corner)
Cut (2) strips 5" X WOF
Sub-cut into 5" X 1 ½" rectangles, need 42
Cut (6) strips 7" X WOF
Sub-cut into 7" X 2 ½" rectangles, need 91
Cut (12) strip 2 ½" X WOF for Long Sashing
Stripe (Ornament Cap):
Cut (2) strips 3 ½" X WOF
Red (Border #1 & #3):
Cut (16) 2' X WOF
Rose Print (Border #2):
Cut (8) strips 4" X WOF (do not trim off selvage, will be trimmed in border mitering)
Step #1 - Ornament Caps:
The ornament caps are cut from a strata unit, which eliminates the need for a lot of small pieces and short seams. Sew together two 2 ½" X WOF strips of background fabric and one 2 ½" X WOF strip of Ornament Cap fabric, alternate: background, cap, background. Press the fabric towards the center. Make two strata.
Sub-cut the strata units into "Caps" that are 1 ½" X 5", cut (42) Cap units. Set these units aside until Step #3.
Step #2 - Long Sashing:
Sew the remainig (6) 2 ½" X WOF strips together, end to end, with mitered seams.
Trim and press the miters and sub-cut into (8) sashing strips, each measuring 53 ½" X 2 ½". Set these aside until Step #7.
Step #3 - Ornaments:
The ornaments are made using the stitch-and-flip method to snowball each corner. The top ornament corners use the marked 1 ¼" squares, and the bottom corners use the marked 2 ½" squares.
Place a square on each corner and sew on the marked line, preferable the stitched line should be a threads-width to the outside of the marked line.
Flip the entire corner unit to the back and press BEFORE trimming.
From the back of the block, you will see the entire corner square, do not fold the corner square in half. I find that the added stability of the whole square gives me a crisp press without distortion of the bias seam.
Trim the corners squares about ¼" away from the seam after pressing. For my ornaments, I trimmed all of the 2 ½" corners squares, but left the 1 ¼" corner squares whole. Again, this added a little stability to the corner but did not add much bulk to the top.
After the ornament corners are snowballed, add a Cap unit to the top edge.
Press the Cap unit towards the Ornament unit.
Repeat to make (42) Ornaments
Step #4 - Layout Colors* and Add Spacers:
If you do not need to layout your ornaments ahead*, simply separate your ornament blocks into two piles of 21. A spacer piece is added to either the top or the bottom of the ornament to make them "bounce" across the quilt top.
To one of your piles, add a 5" X 1 ½" background piece to the top top of the block. Add the remaining (21) 5" X 1 ½" pieces to the bottom of the blocks in the second pile. Press towards the spacer piece.
*If you have a charm pack with varied colors, you can arrange your ornament blocks in seven rows of six blocks on a design-wall to balance the colors and patterns. After you are satisfied with the block placement, carefully stack each row with the left most ornament block on top. Continuing to work with the row-piles, add a spacer piece to the bottom of the first block, and a spacer piece to the top of the next block, continue to alternate between bottom and top spacer pieces for the remaining four blocks in the row-pile. Every row (and row-pile) begins with a spacer bar on the bottom of the block.
After spacers are added to all (42) of the ornament blocks, trim the unit to 5"X7".
Step #5 - Add Short Sashing:
Next add a 7" X 2 ½" short sashing piece to both the left and right sides and press open. There will be (7) left-over 7" X 2 ½" pieces, they will be used in the next step.
The ornament block will measure 9" wide X 7" tall.
Step #6 - Sew Row Together
Sew the Ornament blocks together into seven rows of six blocks. Layout the rows as desired and add a short sashing piece to the left of the odd numbered rows (#1, #3, #5 and #7) and to the right of the even numbered rows (#2, #4 and #6)
Step #7 - Add Long Sashing:
Add one long sashing strip (made in step #2) to the bottom of each row. fold both the long sashing and the row in half to find the center.
Match the center of the long sashing to the center of the row, and pin at the center and at each matched end of the row.
Ease the row and sashing together, if necessary, between the pinned points.
Sew the rows together and add the remaining long sashing to the top.
Step #8 - Add borders
The borders are sewn into four strata that are added to each side of the quilt center and mitered together at each corner.
Sew two red 2" X WOF border strips together at the short end with a mitered join. Repeat to make (8) long red pieces. Sew two floral 4" X WOF border strips together at the short end with a mitered join. Repeat to make (4) long floral pieces.
Sew the long pieces into (4) strata – Red, Floral, Red. Press to the dark fabrics. Trim the ends of the strata straight and fold in half lengthwise to find the center.
Working on one side at a time, pin a border strata to each side matching the center border strata to the center of the quilt side. The border strata is much longer than the sides, just lay the border flat on the quilt top and pin ¼" in from the left and right side edge of the quilt center. Start and stop sewing ¼" from quilt edge (where your pin is placed). Be sure to back stitch a couple of stitches at the beginning and the end.
Repeat on all four sides of the quilt.
Step #9 - Mitered Corners
After the border strata are added to each side, open the borders flat and cross one side on top of the other.
Mark where the borders cross each other on the outside edge.
Trim the borders on the marked line.
Fold the quilt top so the borders are matched on their long edges and at their ends.
Lay a ruler, with a 45° marking, parallel to the diagonal fold in the quilt and through the corner of the borders.
The 45° marking should line up with the border seam lines. Mark the line, DO NOT CUT.
Pin at the intersection of the marked line and the border strata seam line, checking underneath to make sure the seam lines match.
Sew on the marked line. Check the miter to make sure the borders match, and then trim off the excess.
This is one of the few places I always press the seam open. When the mitered seam is pressed open, the corner of the center quilt top will lay flat.
Step #9 - Baste & Quilt & Bind
Baste and quilt as desired. I added the ornament hanger detail with my quilting, and quilted random Christmas Tree branches in the background.
Bind with your favorite method. I have my piped binding instructions on my blog.
This quilt finishes at 68" x 75".
I would love to see any quilts made with my pattern, you can tag me on Instagram, @catinthegrass

Peaches Geldof did not tell her father about her divorce before she announced it online, it has been claimed.
According to the London Lite, Peaches's sister Fifi and father Bob first learned that she had split from Max Drummey by reading a gossip website on the internet.
A source said: "Peaches released a statement through her PR team but hadn't even told anyone in her family.
"There were a frantic few phone calls made as they tried to find out what was going on."
The source added that although he would have preferred to have found out another way, Bob was pleased to hear the news because he had never approved of the marriage.
Earlier this week, it was reported that the couple's break-up was a result of Geldof's infidelity with Donald Cumming, a US rock singer with The Virgins.

In recent times the gaming world has seen a great deal of discussion on the 'issue' of women in the industry. From the furore over a female's plan to discuss the representation of her gender, to the backlash and blame squared at a lady game-dev over comments five years old; the culture of our beloved pastime has not exactly been showing off its best side. The latest example of the dark underbelly of our gaming culture has come not from the trolls, but from the women of games themselves.
Women and men in the gaming and tech industries, as well as gamers from all walks of life, have taken to twitter with the #1ReasonWhy tag to share their own experiences and observations of why women are underrepresented in the field. The list is long and eye-opening, and from it another hashtag has spawned to support and mentor the ladies of gaming; and it all started with a simple question…
Why are there so few lady game creators?
— Luke Crane (@Burning_Luke) November 26, 2012
At first the responses trickled in, some noting that the answer is more than Twitter's mere 140 characters can handle, then slowly but surely the reasons began pouring into the feed. A few hours later the hashtag was overflowing with reasons; men and women from varying walks of gaming-life chipped in with their thoughts, experiences, fears and realisations. The continous incidence of discrimination listed is quite sobering, so much so that some individuals were expressing concerned through the tag that it could in fact turn women away from the industry.
Here's just a snapshot of some of the sentiments as to #1ReasonWhy there is still such a gap between the number of women and men in the industry, despite it being considered by some as a nonissue:
Because conventions, where designers are celebrated, are unsafe places for me. Really. I've been groped. #1reasonwhy — filamena (@filamena) November 26, 2012
Because I feel like I am not welcome at E3 even though I have been making games for 31 years. #1reasonwhy
— Brenda Romero (@br) November 27, 2012
my coworkers assumed I was hired purely for looks at my former magazine gig and didn't believe I played games. #1reasonwhy— Tina Palacios (@Teanah) November 27, 2012
#1reasonwhy is, as men, most of us can't, won't or don't understand, and we don't try nearly enough to. Because it's hard. We can do better. — Patrick Klepek (@patrickklepek) November 27, 2012
Because it hurts when people love you, agree with you & want equality, & they're still scared to stand with you in solidarity. #1ReasonWhy— Leena (@grassisleena) November 27, 2012
None of my women developer friends will read comments on interviews they do, because the comments are so brutally nasty. #1reasonwhy — Charles Randall (@charlesrandall) November 27, 2012
Because I am confronted with rape or violence in the comments section of Hey Ash videos #1ReasonWhy— Ashly Burch (@heyashwp) November 27, 2012
It's a long list (infinitely longer on twitter), yet despite the disheartening nature of the many, many reasons why women feel alienated from their beloved gaming-world, what also becomes apparent in following the hashtag is the way the community is being strengthen through these shared experiences, and the awareness raised by discussing them. The tweets listed above are just a very brief glimpse of the sentiments popping up, and many are being retold and retweeted due to their relevance to so many people. As with any discussion on 'women in gaming', there are still individuals who have joined in to simply disregard the experiences people are giving, as well as steady stream of spam attempting to cash in on the trending tag; yet for once we have a discussion on the issue that has arisen not in response to a single event or experience, but one that is a community movement to reflect upon the industry as a whole.
In response to the numerous expressions of disillusion and concern at the constant stream of reasons, the tag of #1ReasonMentors arose filled with offers of support, advice and mentorship from women who work in the field and have braved various assaults for their gaming-love. The offers of assistance that have sprung forth are certainly reassuring, giving hope and a helping hand to both the girls and young women aspiring to work in the industry, as well as the women currently straining under the weight of the negative aspects of gaming culture.
Update: #1ReasonToBe
To add to the hope inspired by the Mentor tag, @rhipratchett has pushed for women to share their #1 Reason To Be in the games industry, and what they get from it. So head on over to view or share some positive experiences, and reasons why the gaming industry is awesome.
As avid members of the gaming community, we at Esperino are interested to hear what our community think about the reasons why women are underrepresented in the gaming (and tech) industries, so why not add your opinions in our comment section below or send us a tweet? Why not tell us…
- What your experiences and reasons are?
- What you think of the discussion?
- Where should we (the gaming community) go from here?
To get in on the conversation and share your experiences, you can also head on over to twitter with your #1ReasonWhy or check out the #1ReasonMentors and #1ReasonToBe feeds for some reassurance for your path in the gaming world.
