The permanent secretary of the Ministry of Health, as he chaired the national multistakeholder forum, urged the nutrition fraternity to make smarter goals in order to meet the targets.
He made reference to the demand to increase funding towards nutrition, stating that this needs to be specific with consideration of government's budgetary constraints. He also highlighted that the PS committee is willing to support the demands of the nutrition sector but what exactly needs funding and from what amount to what amount? "Not all plans may be realised but it will be important to point out the priority areas" He said.
CSO-SUN was tasked to meet with the PS to discuss the nutrition budgeting framework to explain further.
He also emphasised that local research plays a very cardinal role in identifying and addressing the countries progress and challenges; and as such, the role of local research should not be undermined.
A method of coordinating the gathering of nutrition evidence from local researchers needs to be designed. Moreover, part of the mandate of the academia network should be to develop research proposals which can be used to source for funding and other forms of support to conduct local research.
The academia network informed him that there is a proposal being developed for a micronutrient survey. He offered to help with drafting that proposal as well as other proposal ideas that the network deems necessary for local nutrition research.

Last week, we introduced you to a simple goal-setting method that will carry you from your goals to tasks in a few easy steps. It's called "Building the Bridge." Following is Part 2 of the four-part series.
In this section, we'll discuss the step of actually building the bridge, the activity from where the name of this whole plan comes.
Once your goals are set as we did in Step One—Start Your Goal Smart—the next step is to find your way to the actual daily activities you'll use to achieve your goal.
That brings us to Step Two: Building the bridge.
Between your goals and tasks are the intermediate steps, the building blocks that make up the various ways you're going to get your goal done. So, for example, if your goal involves saving money, you need to discuss the ways you're going to do it.
Ask yourself, "How can I achieve this goal?" and then write down all the answers that come to mind. Use a fresh page in your notebook or planner for each goal.
Here are some answers you might consider:
- Eat at home
- Budget expenses
- Pay bills on time
- Eliminate credit cards
Seems pretty simple, right? But you have to remember that these are not tasks—these statements are intermediate steps. They carry clear directions, yet are not specific enough to put on your task list.
Now, take this exercise one step further and put these intermediate steps down on your calendar. Consider the amount of time each might take and spread them out appropriately over the period of time you've set for achieving your goal.
For example, you might want to be in the habit of eating at home without fail by the end of next month. Write that down in your monthly calendar.
That's a milestone. Now, spread out your other milestones in a fashion that won't overwhelm you, but will drive you to get things done.
It's not hard to guess why this step is called building the bridge because these transitional steps bridge your aspirations into actions. This is where you make the money. It's what carries you from your goals into your daily and weekly activities.
Join us next week for Part 3 of our easy and effective goal-setting series where we'll discuss how to break it all down into manageable and feasible pieces.

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf
Media Matters published a fascinating article about the reaction to this interview by the conservative media. To support their idea that Fox News and the others distorted the intentions of the Imam's words, they provided several examples of laughably hysterical quotes and headlines.
I thought the remarks by Imam Feisal were thoughtful and reasonable. I didn't sense any dissembling or deceit in him.
What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.

I think the distortions of Fox News, Palin, Beck, and Gingrich are destructive and anti-American. Their actions are only very slightly less radical than Pastor Jones's. I am so angry with these irresponsible people that I don't know what to do with myself.ReplyDelete
Alan, Thanks for saying that. I feel the same way.ReplyDelete

Reality Sneak Peek: First Look At Love & Hip-Hop Season 3
It's about that time for another dose of "Love & Hip-Hop" back up north on the east coast. A couple of weeks ago, we learned who the new members of the New York cast would be, and now VH1 has released a short trailer for season 3 which is set to air in just another couple of weeks.
Mona and then went the dramatic route again which makes it look like they're definitely going to try to make the NY cast keep up with the ATL, but from this 1-and-a-half minute trailer I don't see anyone who even comes close to the spectacle that is Joseline. Still, there does appear to be some interesting new characters and even some man tears.
Season 3 premiers Monday, January 7th at 8pm. Check out the trailer and tell us what you think. Will you watch?

Further development of FUMzyme® authorized under Regulation (EU) 2018/1568
BIOMIN has a pipeline of research and development for enzyme-based approaches to mycotoxins. FUMzyme® is the first and only purified enzyme proven for the management of mycotoxins. Fumonisins are able to be bound reasonably well in acidic gastric conditions but binding at the higher pH levels of the intestinal tract are more limited. Biotransformation is the effective approach to take and FUMzyme® is the only proven biotransformation product for fumonisins.
Any significant step forward in production of the FUMzyme® requires a new EU authorization complete with its own scientific evaluations of efficacy, specificity and safety. In this case the selection and development of a new strain of Komagatella (also known as Pichia, DSM 32159) yeast to produce the enzyme more efficiently was the reason for a new registration process. A growing list of scientific publications and the latest EFSA opinion adds weight to the scientifically-proven status of FUMzyme®.
BIOMIN has two other authorized ingredients, Mycofix® Secure for the binding of aflatoxin B1 and BIOMIN's DONzyme® approach (BBSH®797) for the biotransformation of all trichothecenes including deoxynivalenol. With this recent registration BIOMIN is the only company in the EU that applied for and received 6 different authorizations for products/components in the European Union as technological feed additives in the respective group "Substances for the reduction of the contamination of feed by mycotoxins".
FUMzyme® is available as part of the Mycofix® product line.

With these dozen games, what do you think the Cubs will make?
If it was McDonald's, they'd make The Big Breakfast or a McGriddles or something.
If it was I-Hop, it would be the "Rooty Tooty Fresh 'N Friuty" with the stack of pancakes and those hideous glowing strawberries.
At the 4 Seasons you can get poached eggs with seriously the absolute BEST corned beef hash in the universe I SWEAR TO GOD. That's if you've got about 25 bucks and no rental car to go somewhere sensible.
Cracker Barrel. You ever been there? Always off a highway clover leaf next to a Shell, a Chevron, a Taco Bell and a Holiday Inn with the dome and dog park? To get to the cash register you have to walk thru the gift shop and get the kids a pecan log or a plate with a cow on it? They've got massive egg breakfasts with ham steaks and pork chops smothered in white chunky gravy.
Denny's of course makes the appropriately themed "Grand Slam".
I'm gonna put some eggs in the pockets of my cargo shorts and chuck 'em at that guy dressed like a hot dog who hangs around outside Wrigley.
I gotta take it out on somebody.
The Cubs' absolutely horrendous aversion to making contact with the ball while a man waits on 2nd or 3rd to score the winning run makes me want to projectile an entire Rooty Tooty about 15 yards.
How in the world can you lose to this year's Astro team?
Ted nothin', Cubs 3, Astros 4, innings 13, manhood zero, and Bob Howry is the new Jacque Jones.
In the meantime, Stark says 6 (six!) teams are interested in our Ted.
Not a whole lot that could put me in a good mood besides Randy Wells shutting down the Cardinals on Friday and, oh I don't know... one miserable God Damn run when it counts.
Am I asking too much here?

Acera School will be leaving Melrose this fall. The directors are making plans to relocate the private school from its current location, the First United Methodist Church in Melrose, to 5 Lowell Ave. in Winchester.
Acera School will be leaving Melrose this fall.
The directors are making plans to relocate the private school from its current location, the First United Methodist Church in Melrose, to 5 Lowell Ave. in Winchester.
Also known as the Massachusetts Schools of Science, Creativity and Leadership, Acera currently has 59 students in grades K-8.
Acera is a school for high-ability students — some of whom might have learning disabilities or anxiety issues — with a curriculum that focuses heavily on science, technology, engineering and mathematics with an emphasis on hands-on learning, said founder and co-director Courtney Dickinson.
Once the school found the property in Winchester, its directors knew the opportunity was too good to pass up, especially since enrollment is growing, said. The directors plan to expand school over the next five years to about 150 students, including high school students, Dickinson said.
The Winchester Zoning Board of Appeals recently granted a change of use for the Lowell Avenue property, formerly owned by A.J. Martini Inc. The zoning change was required so the 20,000-square-foot building previously used by the construction company could be used for classes.
"Winchester is always where we wanted to be," said Dickinson, who is a Winchester resident. "This building is a fabulous fit for us."
The school's other co-director, Heather McAvoy, also is a Winchester resident.
Dickerson initially sought to open the school in Winchester. The town's school committee granted the school approval to operate in Winchester in 2010. Acera inquired about space at churches, the Mystic School, the Community Music School, the Sanborn House and other locations in Winchester to no avail.
The school eventually opened at Melrose's Beebe School in the fall of 2010, but the arrival of the SEEM Collaborative forced a relocation to the Melrose Methodist Church in fall 2011.
The school's philosophy is to give students the freedom to learn to their abilities, rather than be limited by specific coursework, Dickinson said.
"It offers kids the chance to grow," she said. "What we see is that when you put these kids in an environment where you remove the ceiling, there's so much more they're capable of."
Acera students come from 18 different towns including Melrose, Winchester, Lexington, Arlington, Woburn and Stoneham, Dickinson said. They are granted admission following a multi-faceted application process that includes teacher recommendations, parent accounts, a review of grades, and an IQ test.
Now that the school has received all the necessary approvals the only thing left to do is renovate the building, Dickinson said. The space is already in good shape, but new walls will be erected for classrooms and a community learning space in the center of the building.
The school also may add an outdoor recreation area for students sometime in the future, Dickinson said last week.
Per the request of the Winchester Planning Board, Dickinson said the school would develop an emergency evacuation plan and make sure its drainage system is checked by the Engineering Department. The property sits within the town's 100-year floodplain.
Winchester Town Manager Richard Howard said he's spoken with the school's directors several times over the past year and that he's interested to see it relocate to the town.
"They're established, and it sounds like they've got some dynamic ideas," he said. "They told us they were interested in the opportunity to move to Winchester, and finally it looks like they've found something that works."

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – It's that time of year when TIME magazine names its 'Person of the Year.' This year, however, it's going to be 'Persons of the Year.'
U.S. President Donald Trump and Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte tied for the annual recognition for being the persons who most influenced the news events of 2017.
TIME editors told The Adobo Chronicles that they had a difficult time choosing just one person.
"Both are controversial, but they are also contrasting," the editors said.
"Case in point, Duterte enjoys a high approval rating of 80 percent, while Trump is at a low 38 percent."
Both leaders met in person for the first time during the ASEAN Summit held recently in Manila. Before leaving the Philippines, Trump said of Duterte, "I like him very much."

"The Gospel is true whether we believe it or not." Alistair Begg echoes Paul's sentiment expressed in 1 Timothy 3:14-16 and stresses the responsibility of the Church to safeguard the truth by studying Scripture, obeying it, and living it out with conviction. God chose to reveal the mystery of godliness through the incarnation of His Son, Jesus Christ--- a mystery that remains veiled to those who are perishing, but is salvation to all who believe.

Forget for just a moment that the Chicago White Sox hit .271 as a team and went 18-8 in the month of May.
Forget that the Sox had 39 dingers and scored 156 runs for the month for an average of 5.38 runs per game.
Forget for a moment that Paul Konerko hit .379, Dayan Viciedo hit .351, Alejandro De Aza hit .313 in May.
Forget for a moment that the Sox are the only AL Central team with more runs scored than runs allowed.
Finally, forget that Adam Dunn has 17 home runs and 38 RBI while Gordon Beckham seems like the fit the Sox have been looking for in the two-hole all year.
The White Sox are not going to win the AL Central based upon their hitting, even if this pace keeps up for the rest of the year. The White Sox are going to win the Central because of their pitching.
Entering play on Saturday, the White Sox have, far and away, the best pitching in the AL Central and some of the best in the American League. Let's take a look at how the Sox stack up against the rest of the Central and the American League:
- 1st with a 3.86 team ERA (6th in AL)
- 1st with 31 quality starts (2nd in AL)
- 1st in strikeouts (5th in AL)
- 1st in batting average against (T-1st AL)
- 1st in WHIP with an amazing 1.191 (1st in AL)
Pretty phenomenal numbers considering how bad Gavin Floyd, Philip Humber and John Danks have been at times. Every other team in the Central has a team ERA of 4.20 or higher. The Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers sport team ERAs over 4.25.
The AL can hit, it is as simple as that, and the teams with the best pitching win division titles nowadays. Take Detroit last year as an example. The Tigers were in second place well into June last year and won the division by 15 games over the Indians.
Why, you ask? Was it their hitting? No, it was not; the Tigers pulled away thanks to their pitching staff. Justin Verlander was outstanding all year en route to an AL MVP and the Cy Young award, while Max Scherzer and Rick Porcello produced as expected in the second half of the season. The shrewd pickup of Doug Fister, who went 8-1, put Detroit over the top.
In addition to the the success of the starters, the Tigers trotted out five relievers with over 30 appearances who had WHIPs of 1.50 or lower.
The Sox are, right now, in exactly the same position Detroit was in last year, with two exceptions.
First, the Sox already have two pitchers in Jake Peavy and Chris Sale having top-of-the-league type years.
Second, and most importantly, the White Sox have seven, that's right seven, relievers on pace for more than 30 appearances who currently have WHIPs below 1.50. Outstanding stuff. Three solid lefties (yes, Will Ohman is actually a solid lefty) compliment right-handers Jessie Crain and rookie phenom Nate Jones, while Addison Reed has established himself as a fearless closer.
With my daughter's favorite White Sox pitcher, Zach Stewart, pitching long relief (his 4.08 ERA is lower than Danks, Humber and Floyd's), the Sox are in great shape from a pitching perspective.
The one move that permanently solidifies the White Sox as having the best pitching staff in the Central is releasing the bag-of-bats we all know as Kosuke Fukudome and keeping lefty call-up Hector Santiago on the roster. The Sox are stocked!
The adage thrown around baseball is that if you want to win the division, you have to beat the division. In order to win in this year's AL Central, the formidable lineups of both Detroit and Cleveland have to be offset, and the White Sox have just the men for the job.
Enjoy the offensive production while it lasts, but team pitching is going to win the Central for the Sox this year.

Political scare tactics
When the PP Government announced that it was bringing the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2014 to the Parliament to be debated, the PNM immediately engaged in scare tactics that were all too familiar to the general populace. Before we engage in any debate concerning the bill, we must first understand the modus operandi of the Opposition and ignore its scare tactics and study what is being proposed.
The Opposition is always quick to accuse opponents, or perceived opponents of corruption. When it lost the 2000 general election, not only did it accuse the UNC of stealing the election, but it also went on to vilify the electoral process itself and do a hatchet job on the Elections and Boundaries Commission. It castigated and impugned the integrity of the commission and besmirched the reputations of its members.
When they won the 2002 general election, the issue of the integrity of the electoral process that delivered their victory was not held up to further public scrutiny. We are still unsure as to whether it undertook any behind-the-scenes "reform" of the EBC in order to avoid any future undesirable election results.

Food rarely brings up memories of my childhood. Most of the food I recall eating as a child was not vegan, not at all. Apricot chicken, fish fingers, cheeseburgers, icecream, toasted cheese and vegemite sandwiches. These are not thing I eat now (apart from a good vegan icecream, yum!).
However, this creamy pasta salad reminds me of summer Sunday lunches after church with my grandparents. During the summer holidays, my sister and I would stay with our grandparents. They would drag us to church each week and on the way home we would stop by a local diner to buy a roast chicken, chips, and an icecream to eat on the 40 minute car trip home. The adults would have salad on the side, like this creamy pasta salad, but I don't recall eating it myself – I was never a fan of mayonnaise until I was pregnant with my second son!
Yet this recipe still reminds me of sitting around the dining table eating roast chicken, chips and salad after church.
- 2 cups dry elbow macaroni
- 1 stick of celery
- 1 carrot
- ½ red capsicum
- ½ onion
- ½ cup fresh parsley
- ½ cup vegan mayonnaise
- ½ cup coconut cream
- Cook the pasta according to package directions; about 10 minutes in boiling water.
- When cooked, drain and add to a large salad bowl to cool.
- Finely dice the celery, carrot, capsicum, onion and parsley; add to salad bowl.
- Mix together the mayonnaise and coconut cream, then pour over salad ingredients.
- Combine well, and refrigerate.
- Serve chilled.
Shared at Tasty Tuesday <3
Comment below and tell me…
- Do you ever eat things that remind you of food you ate in your pre-vegan days?
- Do you try to recreate your favourite non-vegan foods? (I have tried many times, unsuccessfully, to recreate apricot chicken…)
- Did you spend summer holidays with your grandparents too?

Hamster Cannon (mostly) hits the bullseye when it fires these little rodents
Let's be honest about something: If you ever owned a hamster (or any other small rodent), there was a least one time when you fantasized about dressing them up in little outfits and making them look even more adorable than they already were. Don't even bother trying to deny this— we all did it. Of course, 99% of us weren't able to take these dreams any further than idly sketching them out on paper, but the new game Hamster Cannon provides an opportunity to see just what said hamsters would've looked like in goofy little outfits… and then, y'know, shot out of an equally tiny cannon.
Hamster Cannon has you turning the titular hamsters into miniature versions of human cannonballs. There's no real story here, but the premise is that the aerodynamic rodents are trying to snack on delicious pieces of cereal (called "noms" for short). Unfortunately, these noms are floating in the air of the hamster habitats, which naturally means the hamsters need to be shot out of a cannon to grab their food. I don't know about you, but I would've solved this problem with something a bit simpler like, say, a ladder.
At first, the gameplay is incredibly simple: You select the type of hamster (differentiated by the types of hats they wear), aim the cannon, and press the fire button. The aiming mechanic is nicely done, featuring a targeting assistance mechanic that lets you line up the shot before you take it.
Of course, this physics puzzler features some extra challenges, otherwise the game would get boring quick. Walls made from different materials start to appear, as do moving platforms and trampolines, all of which have to be factored into lining up a shot before you take it. Additionally, the different hats have different effects on the walls; flaming hamsters will set wooden barricades on fire (which can then be broken through when they're next touched), bomber hamsters will latch onto and then destroy large chunks of cement walls, and the spiked helmet will bust through stone itself.
For the most part, Hamster Cannon is a lot of fun to play. As long as you snag at least one of the three big pieces of cereal in a level, you can move on, but things are challenging enough that you have to rely on a good mix of strategy and chance to get a perfect score. One of the neater mechanics is that the hamsters will continue to bounce and move for quite some time as long as they don't hit the sawdust at the bottom of the habitat (this includes bouncing off other hamsters who've already landed); as a result, random ricochets may actually prove to be more effective than your initial shot.
On top of all this, there's a cute little customization feature. Once you've accumulated enough noms, you can spend them within the game's store to unlock new hats. While there are a couple of options to earn extra noms —through activities like rating the game or following the developers on Twitter— the noms generally have to be earned the old-fashioned way.
Unfortunately, the game has a couple of glitches. Because it can take so long for the movement to stop, sometimes the physics causes the hamsters to continue moving indefinitely; there were even a couple of times when they got stuck in a corner, bouncing for no discernable reason. Meanwhile, the cannon sometimes seems to detect barricades that have already been removed, and the aiming module reflects how the hamster will ricochet, even though they'll fly straight.
Hamster Cannon looks and sounds pretty cute, but it doesn't really break the mold. The hamsters are lovely, with cartoon-like appearances and ridiculous one-liners. But aside from the hamsters, the graphics are kind of generic, with plain backgrounds and unremarkable environmental objects.
It's too bad that Hamster Cannon has a couple of issues that need to be addressed, and it's also a shame that the hamsters are the only part of the game that look as good as they do. That said, the game manages to hit the bullseye most of the time, and it does so in a remarkably goofy and fun fashion.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6
We live in a world where people often struggle to know where they can turn to for help. We believe in a God who hears and answers our prayers (although not always in a way that we might expect).
Online Prayer Circle Ministry
We have an online prayer circle – people who have signed up to help pray for those in need who have requested prayer. If you would like us to pray for you please complete the form below.
Prayer Ministry after services
As well as the Ministry Team, trained Prayer Ministers (wearing blue lanyards), are available at the end of each of our Sunday services to offer prayer for anyone who requests this. After Morning Worship prayer ministry is offered at the front of the church. After the Evening Gathering the prayer ministers can be found at the back of the church.
If you feel you can't speak openly about the request you may want to fill in a Prayer Request form, which can be found at the back of the church – these requests are emailed (in confidence) to the online Prayer Circle.

This article appeared in the May 1, 2018, issue of the student newsletter.
We've all gotten — and sometimes ignored — the alert telling us it's time to change our passwords again. For most of your DCCCD-related passwords, that will soon be a thing of the past.
A new policy for nonexpiring passwords will go into effect in August.
The current policy requires password changes every 90 days. However, district research has shown that changing passwords isn't as important as a password's complexity.
With this in mind, the district is updating the policy to benefit students and employees.
Under the current policy, there was also confusion because of the many applications you log in to on a regular basis.
"We have these disconnected and disjointed passwords that expire at different times. Your eConnect password and your email password expire at different times," says Project Coordinator Misherlae Pace.
To remedy the confusion, the district is implementing additional single sign-on services and nonexpiring passwords for you, Misherlae says.
Once the policy is in place, eCampus (Blackboard) will join student and employee email (Outlook), myPortal and eConnect in using the same user name and password.
"We're moving to single sign-on where you can set one password," David says. "Once you set your password, it changes all the systems connected."
To try and make the transition as seamless as possible, passwords will not reset all at once when the policy begins.
"There's no way to anticipate every issue that may come up," says David. "So as users' passwords expire and they're asked to come up with a new password, then the new rule will go into effect at that time."
Under the new policy, your password must follow a new set of complexity rules. The rules will be shown when you reset your password.
Password Resets
Along with the policy changes, password.dcccd.edu and password reset will be decommissioned Aug. 31. Once the new policy goes into effect, users will be able to change their passwords directly through Microsoft, without assistance from district or college staff.
There are also issues facing students in the Federal Work-Study program.
"If you are a student in the Federal Work-Study program, most people will have two different passwords. They have an employee password to use their resources at their job here on campus and then you have your student password," says Misherlae. "We're working through the process on how they're going to change their password because they have two and the two aren't together."
As of right now, to change it, you have to be on the phone with someone at District Service Center (it bypasses to Help Desk altogether).

Over at the Tapped blog, Matthew Yglesias is delighted that "Shrill Bush bashing has crossed over to the section of the media where it really counts: the sports pages. Here's [ESPN football reporter and online columnist] Sal Paolantonio on the Philadelphia Eagles management structure":
More important, no one is fighting for the players on the field. There is a fine line between building a consensus and creating a cabal -- an echo chamber where the tough questions don't get asked because the answers are all the same. (See: Bush White House.)
M.Y. gets a little too excited about the electoral potential with less informed voters based on offhand comments like these, since most of the column fusses about bad Eagles roster decisions:
The sort of people whose main access to political commentary is late night TV jokes or offhand remarks in articles about football, on the other hand, have much vaguer views and are much more likely to be swayed by the personal characteristics of candidates or, more to the point, the way those characteristics get portrayed.

But before my tummy aches all over again (though it already does a little), let me tell you a bit how I spent the second-last day of vacation.
First off, I got my first milk tea for the year from Happy Leaf, in Lychee with bits of boba. I already got to try the Blueberry one last time, and it was amazing. I figured since I loved Lychee, it would taste great. Honestly, I am now thinking it would have been better if I got Apple Green instead. It wasn't bad, but maybe because I told the girl to make it 'not too sweet', it became more sour than it should. I enjoyed popping the little 'bobas' in my mouth though. They're like pockets of sour lychee liquids (did I make it sound worse?!) that add flavor to the drink. I got in in large, so that didn't help with my hyperacidity. Another bummer. (But I enjoyed it anyway.)
We (my, mom, brother) hung out at the mall a few more minutes then went home after stopping by Pizza Hut to get our pizza fix. They had a promo, which was having two regular pizza sizes for 299 pesos. We were just going for the buy one, take one (per slice) offer, but the guy there said they didn't have that anymore. Thank goodness mom let us get pizza anyway. I may have had 3-4 slices. Woops.
After getting home, I settled in front of my laptop with my milk tea and slice of pizza, and did my usual task of filling out my planner. I have a lot of dreams and life goals, and these three I drew are my top priorities (so far). I want to graduate with honors this March, get into Pixar (even as an intern) within the year, and also travel to Paris for sight-seeing slash job-hunting. Ugh. I have no idea how these can happen, but I have to trust that I have the right motives and that God also wants this. In the end, if God intends this life for me, the path to achieving these will be smooth.
So yeah. With a little over 24 hours before life gets back to normal, and the fact that I didn't do anything I was supposed to do during vacation, I'm feeling pretty tense. I know most of my classmates have been working hard over the holidays, and that poses a bigger threat to me than I let on. Yes, I am intimidated by certain people, and my struggle with procrastinating isn't helping one bit. Just yesterday, I woke up feeling ready to take the day and tasks for school head-on, but right after lunch, I threw everything aside and watched Season 7 of How I Met Your Mother until midnight. Yeah, I am soooo productive. Dang.
The last day looms like a dark cloud just gathering up rain particles for when it decides to hit me. Admittedly, I am desperately trying to trick my brain into thinking that I still have all the time in the world to finish what needs to be over by January 17 ( a self-imposed deadline for my show reel). Is it a realistic deadline? I don't know. You tell me.

I Have 20K Boots To Sell
BW and I like to go to the mountains and West or the ocean on vacation. We don't see much of that in Indiana. The west has a beauty all its own. We love it. It is difficult to grow corn, beans, and watermelons out there but they have cows, gold, coal and other minerals.
We were motoring along singing a song and saw a huge billboard that read, "Larry's Boots, 10,000 pair at exit 121." I was not aware that I had a franchise with that many boots -- 20,000 in stock. Imagine trying to wear all of those boots. But, on down the road there was another sign that read "Kleinschmidt Boots, in an effort to outdo Larry's they have 19,000 pairs of booths -- 38,000 boots. Amazing. We didn't stop. Boots look great in the west but back in Indiana they seem out of place like Hawaiian shirts.
Why are there Army surplus stores? It seems to me they would never have a surplus. Just save whatever is left over for the next recruits.
One thing I discerned on the trip is that buffet meals are scriptural. That is a relief. I can eat all I want. The American Standard Versions of the scripture records Paul the Apostle when he said, "I buffet my body daily and keep it under control so I will not be cast away." That is good enough for me. All because I saw a sign advertising a buffet.
Why does the Interstate system insist on placing mile markers every two tenths of a mile? Why not every mile. That would be less expensive and easier to maintain.
I saw a sign advertising a pet resort. Now what is that? I'm on record as saying I think people spend too much money on pets and treat them too much like people. Did you know that Americans spend more money on their pets than they donate to charities including churches? Bet me that I would spend money to send my dog to a resort. Why? I heard last evening that some friends of mine will be spending $5,000 to treat a dog that has cancer. 5K! Something is sadly out of perspective there.
One of the funniest towns in Missouri has to be Knob Noster. What does that mean? I know about Floyd's Knobs in Floyd County and they are knobs or hills jutting up like Cyprus Knees. We passed the obelisk in Iowa where Floyd is buried. He was the only casualty on the Lewis and Clark expedition.
We saw an activity that I have advocated for a long time. In South Dakota the Interstate right of way seems to be farther away from the road than in Indiana. So ranchers mow the right of way, bale it to feed their cattle. Now that is a wonderful idea. They also use the median the same way. Those in charge of maintaining the Interstate do not have to pay others to mow which saves money and the browse is used for a good purpose. There are thousands of cow mouths to feed in South Dakota.

What Did You Say??
Communication, it's a key component in all matters of life. Whether in the workplace, among friends and especially in relationships, understanding and properly communicating, can either make you or break you.
But since we talk about Dating, Love and Relationships here at AricaAngelo.com, we'll discuss how Communication is imperative in the Love Department. Your ability to communicate can ensure that you have a healthy, productive relationship, however not being able to articulate your thoughts, feelings, emotions, can be detrimental.
I've seen too many times, a relationship end, all because the two could not find a way to effectively communicate with one another. They split, over analyze the situation and think that life just pooped on them. When in actuality, had the two sought counseling to assist them in conveying their emotions or found literature that would help them walk it through, the love that they had, could once be rekindled.
Really, with our accessibility to information, we really are without excuse. Have trouble with communicating, Google it! From there, you'll find page after page, of all sorts of sources, that are ready and able, to guide your through. You just have to be willing to invest the time and energy.
Trust me, investing your time now, will save you a lot more time and energy then what you would experience, going through a break up or a divorce for that matter. Invest now, so that you don't have a massive headache and heartache in the end.
Here's the other thing that comes with communication, it takes vulnerability and commitment. You have to be willing and courageous enough, to open and expose that heart of yours. You have to be committed to see what it is that needs to be communicated, to be completed to its place of resolve.
Without these two huge components, despite how incredible you are at communication, if your heart and will is not invested, you might as well forget it. Despite how clever I think I am at communication, when I've communicated from a place where I'm disengaged from my heart, I find that it leads to a lot of hot air with no solution near in sight.
The three combined together, can take a relationship to fascinating places. It's the vehicle to get your heart, what it truly desires. It takes persistence, don't think this is something you can half ass do. No way. If you so choose to invest and make that commitment, know that it will take work. However, choose not to do it and you'll find yourself spiraling in the same dilemma, time and time again.
Get resolve now and do it with communication that makes the both of you feel loved, valued and understood. So the next time you hear "What Did You Say?", you'll have no fear of being threatened, you'll be equipped to fully express what you are trying to say and what heart posture you're speaking out of.

LA PAZ, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Bolivian voters will directly elect the country's 28 national judges for the first time on Sunday in a vote that could prove decisive for President Evo Morales' political future.
The judicial election is the latest in a series of reforms aimed at giving more political power to the country's poor indigenous majority. Morales, the first president of Indian descent, was elected on pledges to reverse five centuries of domination by a European-descended elite.
Here are some questions and answers about the election.
The direct election of judges is one of the reforms included in the new constitution that Morales' and his allies pushed through in 2009. Morales was elected on pledges to "refound" Bolivia by enacting a sweeping reform of the country's legislative and judicial system — long seen by critics as favoring the interests of a wealthy, white elite.
Until now, judges at the country's four high courts have been chosen by Congress.
Morales has been shaken by weeks of protests against his government's plans to build a $420 million highway through the Amazon and Sunday's election is being seen as a referendum on his presidency.
The president's political foes have sought to undermine the unprecedented election by urging voters to spoil their ballots. That means a high voter turnout and few blank votes will be crucial for Morales as he tries to regain his political footing after the anti-road protests, which were led by indigenous activists.
Bolivia's 5.2 million registered voters will elect the 28 members of the Andean country's four courts with nationwide jurisdiction. They will choose nine Supreme Court judges, seven members of the Constitutional Court, seven members of a national court that handles agricultural and environmental cases as well as five judges on the Council of the Magistracy. Alternate judges will also be elected on Sunday.
Once they take office in 2012, they will be responsible for selecting judges to sit on provincial courts.
Voting is compulsory in Bolivia and election turnout has never fallen below 60 percent.
In total, there are 116 candidates who were pre-selected by Congress from a pool of 600 applicants. The law requires that candidates have no political affiliation, do not have any links to dictatorships and have not been involved in human rights violations. They also include equal participation of men and women and of indigenous people on the lists of candidates. The same criteria were applied in Bolivia's 2009 legislative election.
Traditional election campaigning has been banned though local media have been allowed to interview candidates as long as they allot the same amount of air time to each candidate.
The vote count will be done manually at each polling station. The first official results are expected to be announced several hours after the polls close at 2000 GMT on Sunday.

London 2012 organisers are considering giving away tickets for football matches at Hampden Park to schoolchildren amid fears that they won't sell out.
With more than 1m tickets remaining unsold for the football tournament, and with Glasgow's matches the slowest sellers, it is believed tens of thousands of tickets may be distributed to schools. The cost of the tickets would be subsidised by sponsors.
Organisers are keen to avoid the swaths of empty seats that formed the backdrop to some of the action in Beijing and are developing backup plans in case the tickets fail to sell.
The tickets would be channelled through the existing Ticketshare scheme, through which sponsors are already paying for some tickets to be distributed to schools. About 100,000 tickets have already been distributed in this way.
Football tickets were always expected to be the hardest to sell, particularly for those matches not involving the British side, and they account for more than half of the 2m unsold tickets for the Games.
Tickets to many matches are expected to remain on sale right up until the day of the game.
Locog, the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, also yesterday released 30,000 tickets in hospitality areas of the O2, which will host gymnastics and basketball and be renamed the North Greenwich Arena during the Games. Priced at £20 and £50, they were part of a new batch of 50,000 contingency tickets that were put on sale across a range of sports.

UPMC Chautauqua WCA President and Leaders Report Year In Review
JAMESTOWN, NEW YORK (Thursday, June 21, 2018)—Betsy T. Wright, president, UPMC Chautauqua WCA, and affiliated board chairs delivered a recap of the past year's accomplishments and financial summary at the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Corporations entitled, "Defining Moments," during a breakfast meeting held at the hospital on Thursday, June 21.
"We brought together expert physicians, employees, volunteers, and community health leaders and supporters to do what matters most – care for and protect our patients," Wright said. "One of our proudest moments last year was breaking ground on a $20 million construction project to build a Women's and Maternity Care Center and an inpatient adult and adolescent mental health program. The building project is a two-story, vertical expansion above the Emergency Department that will add approximately 44,000 square-feet to the hospital. The third floor will be home to the new women's and maternity care services and the fourth floor will be dedicated to 20-bed inpatient mental health unit."
Wright says the construction project was funded by New York State's Department of Health Essential Health Care Provider Support Program.
Wright reported on a number of other accomplishments including, a building project located at Jones Memorial Health Center to construct a long term residential treatment program slated to open in late 2018. The treatment program has been hailed a positive investment in the community that will serve an epidemic of substance abuse in the past several years across the state and recognized as a critical need by Governor Cuomo and the New York State of Alcoholism and Substances Services. Other highlights mentioned: new swing lab to accommodate cardiac catheterization, interventional radiology, and pain management program; breast stereotactic system that hails earlier breast cancer findings; only hospital in Chautauqua County designated a Primary Stroke Center by New York State Department of Health; and its continuing integration into the $16 billion UPMC system.
Chair of the UPMC Chautauqua WCA board of directors, Steven Kilburn, said that the past year was an historic year for the hospital. "We are part of a large, growing, and cutting-edge system," said Kilburn. "UPMC has more than 30 hospitals and 8,500 licensed beds. It reported $16 billion in operating revenue in 2017. The health system retains 80,000 employees and maintains one of the largest international footprints of any U.S. health care enterprise with partnerships in Ireland, Italy and China, among other regions. Last November, UPMC revealed plans to invest $2 billion to build three digitally-centered specialty hospitals in Pittsburgh. We belong to this amazing health care system which gives us greater access to services, improved quality measures, and increased financial stability while remaining a local, hometown hospital."
Wright noted the hospital welcomed 13 new physicians on its medical staff this past year. The Hospital Association of New York State reported UPMC Chautauqua WCA generated $213,000,000 in economic activity in 2017.

Radon Testing and Home Safety in Ann Arbor
Most likely by now you have heard of the dangers of radon gas, but what you may not know is that the only way to be sure your home is safe is with radon testing. Ann Arbor, MI may be at a greater risk of this threat than many other areas. This dangerous gas may get trapped inside of your home due to the pressure difference inside your home, and the air pressure in the soil. To be certain of whether or not your home is a radioactive hotbed, radon testing is necessary.
Similar to methane gas, radon is odorless, and colorless. While old miners may have used canaries to detect whether or not a coal mine was infested with dangerous gas, radon is not as quick to kill. Radon is known to be the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking. Lung cancer does not occur instantaneously, but rather builds up over lengthy exposure. Radon testing in your Ann Arbor home will provide you with the answer as to whether or not you should be concerned. If the radon test comes back in a safe range, then no action is required. If the test returns dangerous results, contact your local radon mitigation experts at S.W.A.T. Environmental to install an air purification system to reduce your levels. After a radon mitigation system is installed, your radon testing results may show a reduction by up to 99%!
Ann Arbor Radon Testing is Highly Recommended
Many people decide not to smoke cigarettes in order to reduce their risk of lung cancer. Inhaling a radioactive gas on a daily basis may cause the same effect of cancer-causing cigarettes. Think about how many hours a day you spend in your home. Over 20,000 people die every year due to lung cancer caused by radon gas. Would you expose your spouse and children to breathing radioactive gas on a daily basis? Of course not, but why are there so many deaths due to radon? The reason there are so many deaths, is because often people are not aware their home is radioactive with gas. Radon testing will show you the levels of radon in your home, and allow a professional to determine if a mitigation system is necessary.
Do not be one of the over 20,000 innocent people who die every year, assuming their home was safe. Radon testing is the modern day coal miner's canary for your home. This is why day in, and day out, S.W.A.T. Environmental will gladly provide the radon mitigation service you need. We pride ourselves on customer satisfaction, honest work, and knowing that with every air purification system installed, we are reducing the chances of an individual being diagnosed with lung cancer.
With Radon Testing Time is of the Essence
Every day that passes, you let a day go by without knowing whether your Ann Arbor, MI home is a biohazard. Call S.W.A.T. Environmental today, and receive the necessary radon testing to determine your risk level, and asses your needs. Do not be a victim of this dangerous gas. Be proactive and schedule a radon test today.

It was management consultant, Peter Drucker, who advised that "the best way to predict the future was to create it." Creating new things being difficult, the next best way is to have access to validated and predictive loyalty and emotional engagement metrics to help point the way. Marketers should follow critical trends to create their own, successful futures in Marketing.
What is Marketing?
Marketing is basically the process of planning and executing the concept of pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas, goods and services to create exchanges to satisfy individuals and organizational goals.
A brutally competitive marketing in India is evolving faster than ever before and though technology plays a major role in this development, it isn't the only one. The other reason for this fast paced evolution is that market and customers are changing in their priority, expectations and aspirations. The change in lifestyle has played its part in evolving the market too.
Trends in Marketing
Trends in marketing have generally been flexible according to the consumer's choices along with social and cultural position. Trends that were popular say five years ago, may not work now. Today the new generation of brand-loving consumers has shaped the current trend in marketing. To survive in this field where there is an ever increasing number of options for the buyer, a good marketing manager has to be aware of the on-going trends and be able to devise innovative marketing strategies to hook the buyer.
Current trends
The current trend has social media written all over it. The digital platform has made an array of options available and is more economic friendly. Giving a whole new meaning to marketing, social media does not seem to have any boundaries. Brand marketing and digital budgets are fusing as teams work jointly and cross-silo. Multi-platform traditional and digital models now require social media integration into all marketing efforts, including customer experience, design, sales, and product development.
Content marketing is a specialty unto itself and helps brands distinguish the difference between paid, owned and earned media, more important when it comes to dealing with contextual relevance and strategically navigating brands in digital space. Digital marketing has no boundaries. It encompasses devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, game consoles, televisions, digital billboards, and media such as social media, SEO (search engine optimization), videos, content, email, newsletters and lots more. There is therefore, an increasing shift toward consumer engagement with social media, content creation and content sharing.
Marketing management is an ever growing and ever evolving phenomenon. Fluctuating trends makes it one of most dynamic fields.
And finally…
Peter Drucker advises: "If companies want to do something new, they have to stop doing something old." He suggests: "Break away from old habits, embrace new methods of brand engagement and brand marketing to create new and profitable futures."
