Nestlé Egypt has launched a campaign named "Start Healthy Stay Healthy" to educate mothers about the importance of breastfeeding and healthy nutrition in the first 1000 days of the child's life, starting from pregnancy and continuing until the end of the second year of the child's life, an important period during which the child's health indicators are determined.
Nestlé Egypt announced the establishment of a website that provides the mother with the knowledge, information and advice that will help her feed her child healthy food.
As part of the campaign, we are opening two breastfeeding units in Assiut General Hospital and Mansoura General Hospital to provide all the tools and environment suitable for new mothers to become accustomed to breastfeeding.
The campaign also includes awareness training for nurses concerned with mother and newborn care in cooperation with the Faculty of Nursing at Alexandria University, Assiut General Hospital, Mansoura General Hospital, Rufaida Center in Giza Governorate and a number of private hospitals in Cairo. The number of trainee nurses increased to 400 nurses by the end of this year in comparison to 400 the year before.
Dr. Ahmed Al-Blida, Professor of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, said: "Training and awareness of the new mother is one of the most important ways to increase the awareness of the importance of breastfeeding. Nestlé's interest in nurses is due to the fact that they are the primary source of maternal and child care in the beginning. The mother's milk is the best food for the child, which enhances the development of the immune system and reduces the sensitivity and inflammation. "
In addition, Nestlé organized an introductory day in cooperation with the Fatakat Blog, a blog dedicated to discussing women's issues. The event was attended by more than 300 women, to discuss the benefits of breastfeeding for mothers and children, and how to prevent them from preventing diseases such as diabetes, immune diseases and breast cancer.
The consequences of malnutrition among women and children were also discussed as one of the main causes of permanent damage to mental and physical development, thus a decline in learning capacity, poor scholastic achievement and increased morbidity and potential life-long losses, increase the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer in advanced stages of age.
"Nestlé purpose is to enhancing quality of life and contributing to a healthier future for Egyptian families, especially Egyptian children," said Yasser Abdulmalak, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Nestlé North East Africa. In the area of nutrition awareness, we are committed to raising awareness about healthy lifestyles through the launch of ongoing and successful initiatives that will focus on the health of our children who are the backbone of the future. "
Dr. Hamid Al-Khayat, Professor of Pediatrics at the Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University, said: "Breastfeeding has many benefits that God gives to the child through the mother, as the natural milk of the mother has many advantages, especially the sarcophagus that the child takes in the first two or three days of birth, which has very high antibacterial and viral antibodies, which protect the child from many diseases, especially in the first period of life.
"The company is committed to play its role of awareness towards the Egyptian society," said Rani Saab, Country Business Manager, Nestlé Infant Nutrition – North East Africa Region. "Next year, we aim to train 1000 nurses and raise awareness about breastfeeding and healthy nutrition, in cooperation with the various nursing schools, as well as 6000 mothers contacted through the new website."

CLINTON — There is a new look and feel to the Clinton Public School District announcements and publications.
"We launched the 'We Are Arrow Nation' campaign this summer as a unifying theme for our community," said Public Information Officer Sandi Beason.
The district's newly designed Website, www.clintonpublicschools.com, includes the new logo and signature red, black and white graphics. This same theme is applied to the district Facebook, Twitter and new Instagram accounts as well as the Key Communicator Network email newsletter and other publications.
It is also a hashtag, creating searchable posts on social media.
The "We Are Arrow Nation" campaign was the popular choice, she said.
"We asked our community in the spring to choose from 'We Are Arrow Nation,' 'Be An Arrow,' and 'Arrows Rising,'" she said. "In an online poll, 'We Are Arrow Nation' won in a landslide with over 65 percent of the vote. It's a choice that appealed to our current students, families and employees, as well as alumni."
As the Clinton Public School District moves forward with a $25 million bond issue, the bond campaign is also incorporating "We Are Arrow Nation" into its messaging.
If successful, the bond will fund expansions at most schools in the district as well as relocating the CHS Career Complex from it's current site at Clinton Junior High to the main Clinton High School campus.
For more information, visit the district Website at www.clintonpublicschools.com or contact Beason at [email protected].

With all the latest screaming press headlines about falling UK house prices, you'd think that the sky had fallen and we were all doomed. Which we all are, but that's more due to global warming – or is snow in April a usual thing?
Maybe that'll stop the annoying quirk whereby for the last three years, the conversational ice-breaker at parties I've gone to has been moaning about house prices. Which gives you some idea of the kind of parties I'm going to at my age. 🙁 but on the bright side, at least it's not about the bleedin' weather.
Sure, maybe falling house prices mean people are being scared and panicing about the economy, but surely falling house prices are generally a cool thing? Obviously it's good for people at the lower rungs of the housing market, those trying to get on and those who actually want a roof over their head.
For greedy capitalists who were hoping to make a lot of money, it's bad news. But since they were part of the problem to begin with, I'm not particularly sympathetic.

- Country: Wales
- Style: English Stout
- Serving Type: 500ml Bottle
- Price: Slightly Pricey
Beer number 20 comes from the oldest brewery in Wales, Felinfoel. This brewery was founded in 1878 and is famous for it's Double Dragon Ale, known worldwide for it's excellent taste and for being a real ale. Which makes it seem rather odd that I chose to drink their stout...
Apparently their stout isn't bad either, so here's hoping I've picked a good beer. Wales isn't particularly famous for their beers but I've had a couple before and they aren't that bad, Brains Gold springs to mind as a decent drop. After having Black Tokyo Horizon I've developed a taste for stouts so I'm looking forward to this beer.
I poured this beer into my recently acquired beer snifter. This glass is specially designed for Stouts and other aromatic beers with a tiny lip to help taste both head and beer at the same time. The beer pours a lovely black colour with reddish tints around the edges. It has a good sized tan head and is relatively opaque. The head disipates quite slowly to leave a healthy film on the surface of the beer, which laces the glass very well. Brilliant looking stout!
I like this beer however as stouts go it's not a particularly flavoursome example. If you are a stout purist this beer is not for you, because it's far too thin bodied and the finish is quite dry. However maybe as an introductory beer for people trying to get into stouts this could be a good place to start. The beer isn't overly malty and shouldn't offend even the most plain minded drinkers. If your interested, it's not particularly difficult to find.
Remember it's always Beer O'Clock somewhere in the world!

My former employment contains over 20 years at a Ford auto dealership. 6. Federal and different-high ranking officials in the securities area are often instances supplied with a company vehicle because many of their duties require traveling to different counties, cities and even states. This could mean that hybrid vehicles will likely be persevering with their domination of the auto industry sooner or later.
Thats it, don't waste your time driving around getting a number of estimates as a result of in the long run your insurance firm is simply going to use these estimates as a starting point and write their very own anyway. Of course, if you have the finances to get a brand new (or good used) vehicle, then some alternatives come up. Vans are a proven vehicle for service individuals of all kinds.
If folks on the sidewalk hold their noses while you drive by, it's time to eliminate your automobile. Be having a remap accomplished of your engine management, you possibly can be certain that your vehicles will be able to carry out based on their unique design.
6. Federal and other-excessive rating officers within the securities subject are sometimes times provided with an organization vehicle as a result of lots of their duties require traveling to other counties, towns and even states. This might mean that hybrid vehicles will be continuing their domination of the auto trade sooner or later.
The push for driverless automobiles will open up the door for the leisure trade and permit it to combine in with the auto industry. It's because these producers may think that the vehicles will not be supplied with the correct regular upkeep service that their tips require.…

In India, most of us have grown up to the concept that anything that is Government-owned or Government-run leaves a lot to be desired. We have it ingrained into our psyche that Government heritage, projects and initiatives will be unkempt, scam-ridden and occasionally, even defunct. It is in this backdrop that state-owned or backed endeavours like Delhi Metro and IRCTC come as a whiff of fresh air.
The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Limited (IRCTC) is not just India's but also Asia Pacific's largest e-commerce portal. And this is not a mere squat; IRCTC has been firmly perched at the top for the past many years. When it was launched in 2002, the Railways' online ticketing portal saw just 27 tickets booked on day 1 and 3,343 tickets in the first month. Today, with 8.4 million visitors in April 2011, IRCTC comprises 45% of all visitors to travel websites in India and 19% of total Internet audience.
Factors that contributed to the success of IRCTC
The IRCTC success story is undoubtedly an inspiration for the entire generation of e-commerce portals in India. However, behind this success story is a firmed up business plan as well as a near flawless execution till the recent past. Here are some of the reasons why IRCTC became a darling of train travellers in India.
Cheap and convenient – Online booking was a revolutionary concept back in 2002. People in not just tier 2 and 3 towns but also in metros like Delhi and Mumbai were in for the shock of their lives to see tickets neatly tucked in Overnight Express envelopes for a ridiculously low service charge. At Rs. 8/- per person for a booking of a family of 5, even the relatively lower classes did not mind paying for the convenience of tickets being delivered at the doorstep.
Quick and efficient last mile connectivity – It is notable to add that IRCTC's policy of awarding the delivery contract to only one courier company has been a masterstroke. It gives more control to IRCTC over delivery, with just a single channel of communication to take care of. The delivery happens within 24 hours in Delhi and Mumbai where tickets are printed. For other parts of the country, the upper limit is three days!
Easy to navigate web interface – The website lays down all possible options, allows one to customize his or her train options based on start and end stations, desired dates, routes and possible fare classes. The interface also allows one to keep a record of all past bookings, cancellations and upcoming trips. Arguably, the interface is not Apple-esque but it serves the purpose well. All this, without feeling like Alice in Wonderland at the ticket booking counters!
The success of IRCTC becomes doubly impactful when you consider that it is the marketing arm of Indian Railways – the world's largest employer that also transports a mind-boggling 6 billion passengers annually! To provide a simple, easy to use interface that can support 35,000+ unique visitors during peak hours and ensuring that every single ticket reaches the consumer in remote locations across the country is no mean feat. Add to it, the highly secure payment gateways (the site is VeriSign certified) with more than ten options of using credit and debit cards, and you have a safe, hassle-free platform.
The future, however, may not be as rosy for IRCTC. It is besotted with a plethora of crippling problems arising, ironically, because of what was its very strength – a large captive base!
The website, in its current state, will soon become ill-equipped to handle 16 million users who book about 9 million tickets every month online. About 40% of these are booked during the morning hours (8 AM IST to 10 AM IST approx).
As a result, in Jan 2011 alone, there were more than 2.9 million failed transactions translating to a humungous 25% fail rate. To add to the woes, failed login attempts and other request failures only goes to show that something is really amiss here!
Announcing the Railways budget 2011, Railways Minister Mamata Banerjee launched a portal for e-ticketing from the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS). The decision is primarily driven by IRCTC's lack of support & infrastructure failure. This probably explains why IRCTC forayed into air travel booking – it was trying to hedge its risk!
This is the second major blow to IRCTC in two successive years. In Railways Budget 2010, a catering contract was taken away from IRCTC. A recent comment from the MD, Rakesh Tandon sums it all: "This year will be a tough year. Catering and e-ticketing have been our main source of income. With a catering business worth Rs 300 crore gone, we are already feeling the pinch. Now, the new portal will cut our share in ticketing too"
IRCTC, over the years, has been receiving several complaints of malpractices. As a result, it recently deactivated IDs of 1.4 million users suspected to be indulging in such practices. Rail tickets are always in high demand but they're hardly available because of corporate bookings and a nexus between agents and fringe employees. To counter this systemic problem IRCTC has now barred authorized agents from booking e-tickets. Additionally, these agents have also been banned from purchasing Tatkal tickets before the first 1 hour (8AM – 9AM) to give fair chance to the general public. It has licensed 100 principal agents in India who in turn, appointed sub agents working as authorised ticket agents.
Problems notwithstanding, IRCTC is the unquestionable showpiece of the Indian Railways. It has the absolute potential to overcome all of its problems and continue to dominate the online booking space. With additions such as flight, hotel and cab booking as well as booking packages, IRCTC may well become a competitor to the more established travel portals like Cleartrip, Makemytrip, Yatra, Meru and Easycab soon. However, this being a different segment, IRCTC will definitely need to significantly up its interface and usability to break into this slightly more elite market. Moreover, it needs to realize one thing: air, hotel and cab bookings are only ancillary revenue categories. It does not have any USP there. Its core competency is, and will remain, train booking.

I had some milk crates that I made into ottomans a while back and I really liked how adding a lid to them made them so much cuter! Now I have some regular wooden crates I bought at an auction and I thought I would try the same thing with these.

Painted Shelf
A while back I showed you my{Laminate Bookshelf}that I re-purposed and am now using as a shelf in my kitchen to display my vintage collections. Not long after that I added an old shelf that I fixed up and painted to add over the shelf.

BEIJING — Premier Li Keqiang's upcoming visit to Eurasian countries will further enhance substantial cooperation with central Asia, central and eastern Europe, and Russia, senior diplomats have said.
Premier Li is scheduled to leave on Nov 1 for an eight-day official visit to Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Latvia and Russia. He will attend the 15th Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) prime ministers' meeting in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, and attend the Fifth Summit of China and Central and Eastern European Countries in Riga, Latvia.
Premier Li will also attend the 21st China-Russia Prime Ministers' Regular Meeting in St. Petersburg during his Russia tour.
The visit to Kyrgyzstan is the first visit to the central Asian country for Premier Li and an important high-level visit between the two countries this year, Assistant Foreign Minister Li Huilai told a press briefing in Beijing on Oct 31.
According to the official, during the Premier's visit to Kyrgyzstan from Nov 2 to Nov 3, he will hold talks with his Kyrgyz counterpart Sooronbai Jeenbekov and meet Kyrgyz President Almazbek Atambayev to exchange views on the Belt and Road Initiative as well as security and cultural cooperation.
The two countries will issue a joint communique and sign a string of deals on areas including economy and trade, production capacity, transportation, agriculture and intelligence property protection.
Regarding the SCO prime ministers' meeting, Li Huilai said the Premier will propose concrete initiatives to further deepen SCO cooperation in areas of finance, trade, science and innovation.
The six members of the SCO will announce 38 measures designed to boost cooperation in areas such as transport, science and technology, infrastructure construction and environmental protection.
The visit to Kazakhstan will focus on cooperation in production capacity, according to a press release by the Foreign Ministry.
This is Premier Li's second visit to Kazakhstan in two years, which shows that the two countries enjoy a high-level relationship and strategic mutual trust, it said.
The two countries will sign deals on trade, finance and energy, said the press release.
The Premier will then attend a meeting between the heads of the governments of China and 16 central and eastern European countries in Riga.
This is the first time a 16+1 summit has been held in a Baltic country, which is of great importance to the development of cooperation between China and central and eastern European countries, as well as the China-EU all-round strategic partnership, said Assistant Foreign Minister Liu Haixing at the press briefing.
Premier Li will attend a 16+1 leader's round-table, deliver a speech at the sixth China, Central and Eastern European Countries Economic and Trade Forum and meet leaders from these countries, said Liu, adding that the EU will attend the 16+1 meeting as an observer.
This is also the first time a Chinese premier has visited Latvia since it declared independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, Liu said.
As an EU country and a transportation hub in northern Europe, Latvia can play an important role in connecting Asia and Europe, he said.
During the visit, the Premier is expected to sign agreements with Latvia to further integrate China's Belt and Road Initiative with Latvia's strategic development and boost cooperation in trade, transport and tourism, said Liu, adding that China will also set up a culture center in Riga.
Russia will be the last stop on Premier Li's eight-day trip. This is a major high-level exchange between China and Russia, said Assistant Foreign Minister Li Huilai.
Premier Li and his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev will discuss major areas of interest and cooperation projects and sign agreements in areas including trade, energy, aviation, custom housing and education, said Li Huilai.
"China believes that the visit will improve the China-Russia all-round partnership of strategic coordination," said Li Huilai.

ATTITUDES OF CHINESE|IMMIGRANTS IN THE U.S. : Essay
Jose John May 16, 2016 No CommentsATTITUDES OF CHINESE|IMMIGRANTS IN THE U.S. Attitudes about personal interest and career choices are influenced by a person's culture and age. "I want to be a pilot." "I want to a lawyer." Younger generations always decide their interest and what they want to do as their career based on their own benefit. Observing from the past in the U.S., very limited opportunity is offered to the Chinese immigrants. They might consider if they can do it, instead of if they want to do it or not. Regardless of what education level they possessed most of the Chinese immigrant work as a waiter, waitress or some low paid jobs. However, the Chinese immigrants' position in U.S. community is changing these years. Chinese immigrants are being appreciable in the U.S. community. As the changes, there were so many conflicts between younger and older generation who are Chinese immigrants after viewing on career choices and personal interest. I am interested in this topic and I have interviewed two people of different generation who both earned a bachelor degree in the U.S. Except generation differences, they have got similar background. I am going to learn more about how different generations view personal interest and career choices. Vincent Kwan, an accountant in California, is... read more

There's something really lovely about a cute little independent coffee shop. Somewhere to unwind, catch-up with good friends and enjoy honest homemade food. Sadly, due to the alarming growth of multi-national chains such as Starbucks, good independents are somewhat of a rarity in Milton Keynes – and that's why I was so keen to head down to Heavenly Blends after stumbling across it on Twitter, particularly after spotting the promise of a thick American-style milkshake on the menu.
Edit 2017: sadly, the girls at Heavenly Blends have called it a day. This post will remain as an archive but please note the business is now closed.
Based in Grange Farm in Milton Keynes, owners Lisa and Debbie started Heavenly Blends earlier this year with a view of providing the community with an independent coffee shop, a quaint little social hangout with great service, food and coffee. As well as running the coffee shop with eat-in (including cooked breakfasts and afternoon tea) and takeout options, Lisa and Debbie also deliver sandwiches and lunchtime catering to local businesses, being freshly prepared for delivery as I arrived.
Heavenly Blends Milton Keynes: A latte and bacon sandwich
Rainy Monday mornings are the perfect excuse for a bacon sandwich and latte; I'm pleased to say that the latte was enjoyable, a deep-flavour indicating the use of well-sourced coffee. Actually, on that note I have to hand it to Heavenly Blends, the overall quality of the bacon sandwich was also good, the bacon crisp and thick and not at all like the cheap stringy-stuff you find at a greasy spoon, with lovely soft granary bread to match. I thought the early-bird pre-10.30am bacon roll and coffee for £4.25 was good value.
Long-term, it would be lovely to see whether Heavenly Blends could perhaps partner up with a Milton Keynes bakery such as Woodstock Bakery in Stony Stratford to offer fresh bread and more local ingredients with their breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea offerings (think Jam Moo Kow and Virtual Orchard's apple juice as examples) to really champion the local community, but I can't fault the current supplybase and reflective pricepoints.
It was most pleasant sat inside soaking up the atmosphere whilst listening to the rain outside; had I not had an afternoon of work planned ("working from home"), then I could have comfortably enjoyed a couple of hours with a good book there.
Before leaving, I opted for a Heavenly Blends Milk Milkshake (for the road..!) from a menu of potential thick milkshake options, which I have to admit was absolutely delicious. A lovely little treat.
Supporting Heavenly Blends independent coffee shop, Milton Keynes
Having sampled several tasty items on the menu, enjoyed the atmosphere over a coffee and got a sense of the real passion Lisa and Debbie (who are lovely, by the way) have for their business and the community at large, I for one would love to see Heavenly Blends continue to thrive and wish all them all the best with the business.
Market conditions, soaring business rates and an endless supply of characterless chains in Milton Keynes make it hard for good independents like Heavenly Blends to survive – that's why it's vital that communities embrace assets like this on their doorstep. It's all about 'use it or lose it'. It's a little tucked out the way in Grange Farm, but go and support them! Good food, good coffee and great friendly LOCAL service.
I'll be back for another of those delicious milkshakes! 🙂

孫武 By Sun Tzu Translated by Lionel Giles
Laying Plans
Sun Tzu said: The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.
The art of war, then, is governed by five constant factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations, when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.
These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth; (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.
The Moral Law causes the people to be in complete accord with their ruler, so that they will follow him regardless of their lives, undismayed by any danger.
Heaven signifies night and day, cold and heat, times and seasons.
Earth comprises distances, great and small; danger and security; open ground and narrow passes; the chances of life and death.
The Commander stands for the virtues of wisdom, sincerely, benevolence, courage and strictness.
By method and discipline are to be understood the marshaling of the army in its proper subdivisions, the graduations of rank among the officers, the maintenance of roads by which supplies may reach the army, and the control of military expenditure.
These five heads should be familiar to every general: he who knows them will be victorious; he who knows them not will fail.
Therefore, in your deliberations, when seeking to determine the military conditions, let them be made the basis of a comparison, in this wise:——
(1) Which of the two sovereigns is imbued with the Moral law? (2) Which of the two generals has most ability? (3) With whom lie the advantages derived from Heaven and Earth? (4) On which side is discipline most rigorously enforced? (5) Which army is stronger? (6) On which side are officers and men more highly trained? (7) In which army is there the greater constancy both in reward and punishment?
By means of these seven considerations I can forecast victory or defeat.
The general that hearkens to my counsel and acts upon it, will conquer: let such a one be retained in command! The general that hearkens not to my counsel nor acts upon it, will suffer defeat:——let such a one be dismissed!
While heading the profit of my counsel, avail yourself also of any helpful circumstances over and beyond the ordinary rules.
According as circumstances are favorable, one should modify one's plans.
All warfare is based on deception.
Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.
If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him.
If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.
If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them.
Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.
These military devices, leading to victory, must not be divulged beforehand.
Now the general who wins a battle makes many calculations in his temple where the battle is fought. The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand. Thus do many calculations lead to victory, and few calculations to defeat: how much more no calculation at all! It is by attention to this point that I can foresee who is likely to win or lose.

Ooops sorry for calling you Nina again Mandy! The main problem with the flash thing is there is no way to save the pics, so yes please put it to a poll 🙂

So you have your favorite pipe that you bring with you everywhere. You use it at least once a day and you know just how to hit it so you get the perfect hit every time. However, over time you have noticed that it gets clogged very easily and sometimes it is barely hit-able. It might be time to clean your pipe out…but how?
Scraping is an option, but it is tedious and never really gets all the resin out. There are many products on the market that you can purchase to clean the resin out of your pipes, bubblers, and bongs however, prices can run $20 a bottle or more, so it can get expensive quick.
I love the taste of smoking a fresh bowl of dank weed out of a clean pipe so I clean my pieces regularly. I have used most of the cleaners on the market and I have found the best, most cost-effective cleaner out there you can get for five bucks or less.
How to Clean Your Pipe or Bong
You will need two items. You can find them anywhere.
Pour some rubbing alcohol in the chamber and add generous amounts of salt. Then, swirl the solution around until all the resin has been loosened or dissolved and rinse it out with warm water.
Pipes and Bubblers
Just get a zip lock baggy and pour some rubbing alcohol and salt in it. Then, put your pipe in the bag and shake vigorously. If the resin in your pipe is super thick, let it sit overnight in the bag to let the solution soak in.
After the resin is broken up, just rinse the pipe with warm water. If there is still some resin remaining, just repeat the process until it is gone. Just let it dry and it will taste and hit like a brand new piece.

This is the start of the busy season of difficult decisions in the municipal world.
This is the start of the busy season of difficult decisions in the municipal world. First, the annual budget process is once more under way. Our town is continuing to manage itself into a smaller organization again this coming fiscal year. That trend of getting smaller is expected to continue in the future.Each year the diminishment in organizational size that is occurring in our school and town departments is limited because it is buoyed by transfers from savings accounts. The use of these savings accounts serves as a band-aid. This general rule is the savings eventually come to an end. The end creeps closer each year as revenue estimates get pushed to the limits and tight operational budgets utilize every dime. The year that the savings account doesn't replenish itself will beget a following year of radical and highly visible organizational diminishment. It is either that or we vote to raise our taxes.Watch and listen to our elected leaders this year. You should detect conversations that indicate that some staffers understand this problem is serious. A real comfort level will be established with me if we hear any serious discussions relative to when the savings are expected to be gone and how our community will deal with the massive level of organizational shrinkage that the lack of savings will dictate. This is an especially important topic to discuss with our educational leaders. If the discussion is not present in this budget season, then we may have a leadership problem. Silence on this subject now should beget some serious chatter in the pending election season.Speaking of elections, right on the tails of the budget season comes the election season. Our community will commence the election process soon. We have three school committee positions open this year. The prospect is the same with the town council election. This year the odd precincts will elect their representatives to our town council. That puts seven seats on the line. Come this fall the voters could make wholesale changes in each of these elected bodies. In fact both elected bodies could experience a majority membership change pending the results of this upcoming ballot.The council form of government that we use here in Barnstable is more versatile than the Town Meeting method that many towns use. This local government model allows for a continuously sitting legislative body. It is designed to enable us to more promptly deal with zoning issues. That doesn't seem to be the case with a considerable rezoning effort within the Village of Barnstable. That legislative process will now continue along a much diminished path during the near term. This lack of forward progress could very well become an issue in any town council race that emerges within Precinct 1.Finally, we all get to spend the next six months discussing our town's charter. Congratulations go out to the folks who worked so hard this past fall and winter to get a charter question on our next ballot. Our next town election will determine if we want to convene our 10th charter commission. This body requires nine members be elected town-wide. Historically we have seen about two candidates for each charter commission position on the ballot. An extra dozen and a half candidates will serve to liven and lengthen the candidates' night events around town next fall. So here's to the busy season of local government! Are you ready?

Last January, I proclaimed 2016 as the "Year of Knitting Selfishly". Out of a total of seven projects completed, five were for me, so that's a win. On the other hand, only seven projects were completed, so that's a blow to the Ravelry queue.
The two gift projects were for babies: Kaysen's Blankie for my newest grand-nephew; and Davi's Stocking for a girlfriend's baby.
Both were knit projects and took far longer than I expected. The two months it took to knit that baby blanket — size approximately 24 inches by 34 inches — gave me pause to reconsider tackling a couple of other knitted blankets I have queued. I can crochet blankets far faster than I can knit them. I may stick to crocheted blankets in the future, especially for babies.
The five remaining projects were for me. I've blogged three of them: Ribby Striped Cowl; Wildflower Cardigan; and the Lacy Moebius Cowl. The two remaining projects, a shawl and a pair of socks will be blogged shortly.
2016 Technical Accomplishments
I designed and knitted three projects: Kaysen's Blankie, the Ribby Striped Cowl, and the Lacy Moebius Cowl.
I made my first pair of toe up socks (to be blogged). That same pair of socks also included my first short row heel.
I made my first real colorwork project with Davi's Stocking. Learned a lot about intarsia by muddling through and juggling bobbins.
2016's Stash Accomplishments
I used 3,743 yards of stash yarn.
I acquired 5,576 yards of new yarn for a net addition of 1,833 yards.
I refuse to feel guilty. Look at this one. Look.
2017 Goals
I make no plans whatsoever to avoid acquiring new yarn because that's a silly idea doomed to failure. In fact, I've already doomed it by buying four skeins in January alone.
What I plan to do is:
- Make a baby blanket for my nephew and his wife
- Make more socks
- Finally tackle a Fair Isle project — probably a hat that can be knit in the round
- Continue to knit from stash as much as possible — the baby blanket for my nephew and his wife may be the exception because I don't have much yarn suitable for that purpose
- Continue to knit through my library of patterns
- Write out and publish the patterns I've designed
Everything else is on a wait-and-see basis. I'm dropping weight fairly rapidly (down approximately 17 lbs since surgery), so I don't intend to make any cardigans or other garments until I'm much closer to my goal weight.
What are you going to make this year?

It's been a couple of years of doing other things, establishing a brand and generally keeping shop. My stationery shop The Writing Room is now online only, with plans to pop-up at literary and other events around the country.
Busy times, which meant blogging had to take a back seat – as did other things – but I'm back, with plenty to say.
I've been developing fiction and essays, with a smattering of online publications. I'm gradually updating this writing space and will put links up to my work when I get to it.
I'm working on a piece about my recent (first) trip to New York, which was an inspirational and wonderful experience. Plenty of other writerly things going on so I'll be back soon to update.
Happy Sunday!

Special Olympics Iowa
I just got done reading Dan Gable's latest book of his short stories. Incredible read by the way. But in it, he describes the Fieldhouse in Iowa City where they held practice.
I get that same rush of energy every time I check in to volunteer for the Mid-Winter tournament in Iowa City. It was my 3rd year in a row volunteering. You may find some in Mexico, some in Florida, but you will always find me in Iowa City helping (more cheering) a talented and hard-working group of athletes.
My first year I helped with powerlifting, second I kept score for 3 on 3 basketball and then this year I got to do powerlifting. I side-spotted the lifters. The moment they lift the barbell off of the rack and bring it down to their chest I can't help but yell, "Up, up, up!" All while concentrating making sure that the barbell gets racked properly. After that it's time to cheer again. I'll be loud clapping, hooting and hollering, and high-fives all around!
To be continued tomorrow!
Mission of Hope!
In attempt to maximize my fundraising for the Special Olympics Polar Plunge. I thought up of a challenge for myself to not only increase donations but more importantly push myself to try and make the world a better place. Not only would I jump and swim in frigid waters, but I basically gave each donor a coupon to have me do whatever it is they want me to do. I am doing one challenge a week for a year!
My first assignment was given to me by Shauntel Wagner. She asked me to volunteer in a soup kitchen at a homeless shelter. When I asked for a little direction she pointed me to Mission of Hope in Cedar Rapids.
I've never been to a shelter, nor have I even served food to anyone. (for those who know me, knows how clumsy I am) I was a little nervous walking up to the church.
Of course, everyone was very welcoming and my nerves were gone as soon as I introduced myself. Those helping prepare dinner were a mix of shelter members, regular volunteer/employees, and then me of course.
The head of the kitchen's name was Mary. My first thought when I saw her was that she looked like Red from Orange is the New Black. Same hair color, style, and Red is also the leader of the kitchen in the prison.
For those who have seen this Netflix series, know that Red is MEAN. Mary may have looked like Red, but was very sweet.
I set up the dinner they had been cooking throughout the day. BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, party potatoes, chips, cookies, and more was on the menu. I got to fill and hand out kool aide. Almost all 58 members thanked me and smiled.
I truly felt appreciated even though I was just handing them Kool Aide.
After dinner was served I rinsed all of the trays before they were put in the dish washer.
After we cleaned up I helped organize all of the cupboards for my final task. Mary seemed so thrilled to have all of the canned foods together.
I said my goodbyes and couldn't help but get a picture with "Red".
I know that people think that I'm giving back and helping others. But if I didn't enjoy new experiences, meeting amazing people, and that feeling I get when I feel like I am making a difference, I can't say I would do it.
Week 1 complete! Thank you Mission of Hope for the amazing experience! If you would like to donate, volunteer, or get more information visit http://missionofhopecr.org
Day 23
Okay folks not only has my grammar been horrific (I type everything on my BlackBerry, and yes they still exist) but I'm not too sure what I was thinking when I said 32 days! November 2nd was the last day I consumed alcohol. So we are on day 23. Wishful thinking, I guess.
Today I was thinking how much I love alcohol. You would think someone like me would be like, "well if I can't have it no one can!". But I truly am glad that we are given the choice to consume alcohol. I'm glad that people like me who can't enjoy it responsibly don't ruin it for those who can.
I hope you don't think that this blog is bashing alcohol, because I'm not. If you can do it responsibly (and you are of the legal age), do it! It's fun!
I am excited to be at the stage in my sobriety where I can be comfortable in alcohol settings.
One of these days!
My Biggest Challenge
The biggest challenge that I face is learning how to have fun without alcohol again. Ever since I started drinking after high school, I found it necessary to use alcohol to have fun.
Some of you may know where I'm coming from, and some of you may think I'm silly. I need to re-learn how to have fun and socialize without alcohol.
It has been 32 days, and I have yet to hang out with my best friends. And trust me, they would love to hang out with me and would respect my sobriety. That's why they are my best friends! I just find it so difficult to hang out with them without having a beer in my hand. Hopefully some of them read this and can talk me into hanging out.
It may sound as though I have not had ANY fun this month, but this is far from true!
Firstly, my job is the greatest and I will get into that in a different post! I have managed to find a few fun things to do when I am not working. My good buddy from work and I went to a Hawkeye basketball game and I had a blast.. GO HAWKS!
But yesterday was probably the most fun I have had in years.. Mom and I went to The Brass Armadillo in Des Moines. Basically a HUGE indoor flea market.. It took us a little over 3 hours to look at everything! You can question my sexuality all you want, but antiquing is something fun I can do without even thinking about alcohol. It gives me that natural high to look at a bunch of random junk! Whatever works right?
But the best part was getting to spend the day with my Mom. My best friend. I'm not exaggerating when I say that we took 7 wrong turns the entire trip (we made other stops in altoona at McDonalds, Walmart, Target, and Bass Pro) there and back. Most people would argue and bitch at each other, but after each wrong turn we took, we laughed harder and harder even though it truly was frustrating.
Thankfully, we made it home and will never leave home without a GPS device again!
I'm so lucky to have such great support from my friends and family. I know I can do this, and they know I can do this. I think if I make it to January 2nd, 2014, I'm home free.
Thanks for reading everyone and I appreciate the supportive comments!
The difference
I have been so afraid to write.. LIfe events put a hold on my love of writing, and it was for the better. I miss it, but these posts will be different.
Many posts will deal with my sobriety. I have tried time and time again to quit completely and after about 1 months of no drinking I find a way to drink and break that month.
It isn't as though that I drink every day.. But the on day out of week that I would drink; I would tear it up, get horrible drunk saying and doing things that I don't normally do. The law got involved and I have a few drinking charges, too.
I'm just tired of it. It has hurt me, the relationship with my family, and it has torn apart all of my replacements. It's poison.
So I'm going to quit. For good. It has only been 31 days. Speaking with my counselor we came up with multiple goals to remain sober. One of those beeing writing :). I plan on posting here daily! So this was kind of an indroductIon on what you'll seeing if you tune in! Thanks! I'll be writing tomorrow!
It's been a while…
Hey everyone I know it has been months since I have posted, but I promise I have not quit writing. I am working on the ending which had been bothering me for the longest time. How do you end a memoir when you're only 23 years old?
I knew that I wanted something powerful, something that truly represents the theme of my book. And finally I have figured out how I went to end it. I can't tell you what, but I can promise you that it will shock everyone.
I just wanted to let everybody know that I haven't quit, or given up and that I will be able to show the world my story. I love you all have a Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.

So I can not remember my password to get into my account, not sure what I need to do. Please help
If you've really forgotten your password, there's nothing you can do but start again. AgileBits do not have any way to reset your password, as that would be a security risk.
But many times the issue is just forgetting which characters are upper-case and which lower-case, or similar issues. The article https://support.1password.com/forgot-master-password/ suggests things to try.
Hey @karlawrence, Sorry to hear you can't access your account.
What @danco says is true when you're the only person on the account. Accounts with family members or team members on the account can get a Family Organizer or Owner/Admin to put their account into a recovery mode that allows you to reset the password. Unfortunately this isn't possible if you're the only person on the account. On the off chance you printed the Emergency Kit when you signed up, you may have written your password there. Otherwise, I would try guessing. If you think you might know it, you can try the passwords you think it might be; We don't lock your account for failed login attempts.
If all is lost and you're completely locked out, but one of your devices has access still, I'd sign up for a new account and transfer your items over from your existing account to the new account on the device that still has access, then we can help you delete the old account to cancel any active subscriptions, and you'll be back in business.
Hope that helps.
So it is just me and I did make quite a few attempts to get in, but no luck. I only have it on my phone so is it possible to delete the account and start over. I had only put a couple passwords in to it so I am not worried about losing all my work.
@karlawrence: I've sent you an email so you can delete your account, but before you do that I'd encourage you to give it one last try, and also cancel with Apple if you'd subscribed through them. I hope this helps. Be sure to let me know if you have any other questions!
