Gov. Rick Scott's announcement during Wednesday morning's Cabinet meeting that Florida will invest $130 million to continue work on restoring the Everglades and South Florida's ecosystem won cheers from state environmental leaders. See some of their comments at the end of this story.
Said Scott, This $130 million investment from the Its Your Money Tax Cut Budget will fund critical projects that will improve water quality for families and businesses that rely on these natural treasures. These dollars will go toward improving water quality, mitigating impacts of Lake Okeechobees discharges on our estuaries, and diverting more fresh water south to help restore the Everglades.
Less than a year after Scott announced an $880 million long-term Everglades restoration plan, the $130 million investment for the Everglades and South Floridas ecosystem include $40 million to speed up completion of the C-44 Stormwater Treatment Area for Martin and St. Lucie counties.
A governor's office press release stated that in addition, this $130 million investment includes $30 million for a three-year installment for the Tamiami Trail project, which will provide necessary water to Everglades National Park, $32 million in recurring funding as part of the Governors Everglades Water Quality Restoration Plan and funds to complete the Kissimmee River restoration project, which will store and clean water heading into Lake Okeechobee.
This major investment comes as many Everglades and South Florida restoration projects have already been permitted and construction initiated to improve water quality and quantity. In recent months, the South Florida Water Management District has begun work on large-scale reservoirs designed to store and ship water to stormwater treatment areas before cleaning and sending it south to Everglades National Park and Florida Bay. At the same time, the Department of Environmental Protection continues to work with local stakeholders on restoration plans for the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee Rivers, Indian River Lagoon and Lake Okeechobee.
Governor Scott solidified his reputation as the Everglades Governor with his announcement today, said DEP Secretary Herschel T. Vinyard Jr. His dogged pursuit to improve the water quality in Americas Everglades is encouraging for all of us and his emphasis on restoring the Everglades remains unmatched. Governor Scotts plan to store water north of Lake Okeechobee in the Kissimmee River Basin and divert water south of the lake shows families living along the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee Rivers that he has heard their voices.
During the Cabinet meeting, Scott also highlighted the lack of federal commitment resulting from recent actions by the Obama Administration in Washington.
Said Scott, While on the state level were working hard to protect and restore our natural treasures, we recently received some disappointing news from Washington. The Obama Administration decided the Everglades didnt need all the funding Congress offered. It is my hope that the Obama Administration will not reduce critical funding for Florida projects in the future.
In Omnibus discussions, Congress initially agreed to provide more than $80 million for the Everglades. The Obama Administration, through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, however, indicated they could not spend it all and requested $46 million. As a result, the Everglades lost tens of millions of dollars in federal funding this year. This is the lowest amount the federal government has appropriated for Everglades Restoration projects in the last 10 years.
Here is what some of Florida's environmental leaders said about Scotts commitment to the Everglades:
Dan Kimball U.S. Department of the Interior said, I appreciate Governor Scotts problem-solving approach as we continue to move ahead with our federal and state partnership, working together to achieve our restoration goals for Floridas Everglades.
Eric Eikenberg Everglades Foundation said, Governor Scott understands the importance of improving the Everglades ecosystem, which is evident not only with his water quality plan but also with his $130 million investment for improving America's Everglades.
Pepe Fanjul, Jr. Florida Crystals said, There is no better testament of Gov. Scotts leadership abilities than the fact he has been able to successfully kick-start Everglades restoration, including the financing and construction of important water projects."
Eric Draper Audubon Florida said, We are seeing real progress on the Everglades. Governor Scott deserves credit for following through on projects to get water clean and delivered to the natural system.
Robert Coker U.S. Sugar said, Governor Scotts budget recognizes the importance of working together to preserve, restore and maintain Floridas Everglades and the communities it supports.
Larry Kiker Lee County Commission Chair said, "The Everglades restoration projects Governor Scott wants to fund in this year's budget will also help Southwest Florida by providing cleaner water down the Caloosahatchee River, the lifeblood of Lee County. I applaud the Governor's continued efforts to help Southwest Florida families."
Sarah Heard Martin County Commission Chair said, "I applaud Governor Scott for his continued commitment to Everglades restoration and funding that will benefit the St. Lucie River and the Indian River Lagoon. This is an important step on the journey to restoring the Everglades, which will help improve water quality in Martin County."

Ducket, Thomas, Sir N/A
Thomas Ducket, of Barcot and Buckland in Berkshire, was the only son of Sir Lionel Ducket, Lord Mayor of London (d.1587), and his wife Dame Jane. In 1585, he married Margaret Nelson, against the wishes of his parents. As a result his father altered his will, though without disinheriting him completely. He was knighted 23 July 1603. This stamp occurs on 26 volumes in the library of St John's College, Oxford, with printed book labels showing them to be donations from Thomas Ducket Esquire. He had evidently died by 1609, when his wife Dame Margaret is mentioned in the will of his cousin Lionel, who inherited most of Thomas's property. W.C. Costin in his History of St John's. 1958, p.71, says that the books at St John's were there about 1603, and that there are no records of the donor at St John's. The border is virtually identical with that of one of the bookstamps of Sir Edward Coke (1549 1633).

Procurement transformation continues to be a hot topic, and we've debated it over the years, including asking what exactly it means, as well as providing some thoughts on how to achieve it.
We featured recently the Manchester Airports Group award-winning experience, and as part of our discussions with the team at MAG we got into the whole nature of transformation with George Owens, who led that team. (We also featured some thoughts on Owens himself here and here). George and I recorded some of our discussion, and it's available now if you'd like to hear it.
We touch on what transformation is and the critical success factors. Having a clarity of purpose is key; everyone in the team must know the "elevator pitch" and be focused on the aims and objectives of the programme. But then you have to empower people to take the initiative too, to deliver the change that is needed. It can't all be delivered from the top. And as Owens says, "people want appreciation and acknowledgement, to be recognised for doing a good job – that's just as important as money".
The importance of senior stakeholder engagement and support is of course critical for transformation programmes. But that element of taking your own staff with you is at least as important, and if you are serious about transformation, you must get the right people in the right roles. "Performance issues have to be dealt with. If not, it impacts the whole team and often stakeholders too".
As Owens says, if you don't provide feedback regularly, then people will "self-assess" as he puts it. And a final word; transformation is "never about savings first. Business value has to be the driver". And there's more in our interview – you can listen below, just click to download. And once we've sorted out the technology, we will try and make this available as a downloadable podcast too!

Interior, floral designers explore Pantone color trends in AmericasMart Vignette Exhibition
One of the most powerful elements in design language comes to life in AmericasMart Atlanta's next vignette gallery presentation "In Living Color." Six interior designers and six floral designers are collaborating on all new vignette presentations that boldly portray what's ahead in design as they explore the PANTONEVIEW home + interiors color forecast and the Color of the Year for 2018.
Interior designers Brian Patrick Flynn, André Hilton, Corey Damen Jenkins, Margaret Kirkland, Mallory Mathison and Chris Socci are paired with floral designers Holly Bryan, Michal Evans, Laura Iarocci, Canaan Marshall, Amy Osaba, Kathy Rainer and Ricky Wolfe to showcase the trending colors and themes. The PANTONEVIEW home + interiors 2018 color forecast palettes are Resourceful, Playful, Discretion, Verdure, Far-Fetched, Intricacy, Intensity and Tech-Nique.
Lobby vignettes inspired by the Color of the Year for 2018 are presented by Kristin Alber of REstyleSOURCE.
"Color is the first element in design DNA. We are thrilled to partner with AmericasMart Atlanta for the PANTONE Design Exhibition this January. As the leading Market for designers, retailers and buyers alike, we know Atlanta is a natural fit for showcasing the PANTONE Color of the Year 2018 and PANTONEVIEW home + interiors 2018 color forecast," said Laurie Pressman, vice president of PANTONE Color Institute. "AmericasMart's signature vignette design exhibition presents an unrivaled and unique opportunity to see first-hand how the color trends will be reflected throughout the home and gift industries in the year ahead."
"AmericasMart is the ultimate designers' resource, whether they are looking for inspiration for interiors, florals or events," said David Savula, AmericasMart senior vice president of Leasing. "Our newest exhibition showcases how our trend-driven showrooms can help any designer make their visions come to life."
In Living Color premieres at The Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings Market, January 9-16, 2018 (temporaries January 11-15) and will be available for viewing throughout Market and the months thereafter.
The gallery serves as the backdrop for AmericasMart's designer programming. At the upcoming January Market, Pressman shares the colors and trends driving home design for 2018 and beyond with a behind-the-scenes view into the selection of the PANTONE Color of the Year 2018 in a presentation "INSPIRING AND EXPRESSING COLOR: Defining the Essential Trends for Home Furnishings in 2018."
After Market, the gallery also plays a major role in AmericasMart's expanded Open Year Round programming.
"The benefit of an installation like In Living Color is constant inspiration," said Jenny Heinzen York, AmericasMart vice president of Home. "We encourage local and regional designers to visit the vignette gallery each time they come to AmericasMart to source for their projects."
Celebration of the vignettes and Color of the Year expands to two nights with the January Market's signature event, the Color of The Year Launch Party, on Friday, January 12 and the new Bloom Bash presented by Building 1, Floor 9 design showrooms who are sponsoring the exhibition on Saturday, January 13. Highlights of the Bloom Bash include entertainment, refreshments and the chance to win items from the exhibition.
In Living Color is presented by AmericasMart, "Flower Magazine," and REstyleSOURCE in partnership with PANTONE Color Institute™ and sponsored by Creative Co-Op, HomArt, Caracole, Jaipur and select Building 1, Floor 9 exhibitors. Vignettes are displayed on Building 1, Floor 14, space 14-D-9, with additional vignettes in the lobbies of Buildings 1 and 2.

West Zone
An allround performance from Rohit Sharma gave Mumbai a narrow two-wicket win over Saurashtra at the Reliance Stadium in Vadodara, and extended their lead at the top of the West Zone points table. Sharma took 4 middle-order wickets for 28 runs, including the key wicket of Ravindra Jadeja, who top scored with 53, as Saurashtra were bowled out for 205 after opting to bat first. Sharma followed up his effort with the ball by making an unbeaten 96 to shepherd Mumbai to their target with six balls to spare. Mumbai were in danger of losing the game after they collapsed to 45 for 5, but Sharma found valuable allies down the order in Siddharth Chitnis, who made a run-a-ball 53, and Dhawal Kulkarni, who made 23, to see his team home.
Baroda got their Vijay Hazare campaign up and running with their first victory, a four-wicket win over Gujarat, at the Alembic ground in Vadodara. Gujarat lost opener Avi Barot early, but Parthiv Patel and Bhavik Thaker kept the scoreboard ticking with a 62-run partnership before Patel was run-out for 46. Thaker was bowled shortly after by Swapnil Singh for 54, and none of the other Gujarat batsmen were able to make more than 30, as Gujarat were bowled out for 232. Opener Jaykishan Kolsawala was the foundation on which Baroda's successful run-chase was built. He made 93 from 100 balls, with nine fours and two sixes, and though no one else went past 30, it was enough to take Baroda to their target with 7 balls to spare
South Zone
Goa earned their first win of the tournament, beating Kerala by four wickets at the Fort Maidan in Palakkad. Kerala's total of 222 was built around half-centuries from Robert Fernandez, who made 88, and VA Jagadeesh, who made 51. The pair put on 95 for the second wicket but received little support from the rest of the line-up, with the last 9 wickets falling for 102 runs. Harshad Gadekar was the pick of the bowlers, with 3 for 26. Goa made a solid start to their chase, with Swapnil Asnodkar and Rohit Asnodkar making 60 and 58 respectively, and Shadab Jakati finished the job with a rapid fire from 35 from 26 balls.
A century from Robin Uthappa helped Karnataka complete a six-wicket win over Andhra at the Perintalmanna Cricket Stadium in Malappuram. Andhra posted a total of 293 on the back of 75 from Venugopal Rao and 64 from AG Pradeep, who added 135 for the third wicket. Karnataka lost Ganesh Satish for 2, but Uthappa went after the bowling, making 103 from 70 balls, with 11 fours and five sixes. He was supported by Sunil Raju, who made 73 and Manish Pandey, who made 50, as Karnataka cantered home.
Central Zone
Madhya Pradesh cantered to a 105-run win over Railways at Green Park in Kanpur. Naman Ojha and Mohnish Mishra laid the platform for MP's score of 245 with a 123-run partnership for the second wicket, with Ojha top scoring with 85 and Mishra making 66. Railways were never in the game, quickly slipping to 45 for 4, and then 66 for 6, as they struggled against the MP bowlers. The tail provided some resistance but it was never going to be enough, and they were bundled out for 140. Ankit Sharma finished with 3 for 29 and TP Sudhindra 2 for 16.
Uttar Pradesh handed Rajasthan their third straight defeat in the tournament at the Kamla Club Sports Ground in Kanpur. Having chosen to bat, Rajasthan opener Dishant Yagnik made a patient 101, and Vaibhav Deshpande chipped in with 53, but no one else made more than 16, as they finished with 222 for 8. Tanmay Srivastava (89) and Parvinder Singh (84) then made sure of the game, adding 174 for the second wicket, as UP coasted home in less than 40 overs.

More Information on Twinwall Duct Pipes:
Twinwall ducting includes a smooth internal bore, along with a corrugated external wall providing exceptional impact resistance, strength and durability. It's flexible and lightweight. We maintain these colours in stock: Black electrical ducting, yellow gas ducting and yellow perforated gas ducting, blue water ducting, purple motorway ducting, orange road lighting ducting, orange traffic signals ducting and green CCTV ducting.
All coils contain a draw-cord for attaching the cable lure to enable pipes or wires to be pulled through the duct after it has been installed. A complete range of twin wall duct bends and fittings are kept in stock. Split duct, for ducting existing cables, is also available.
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) twinwall ducting is available in solid-wall, twin-wall smooth bore and single-wall corrugated profiles. It is lightweight, flexible, impact resistant and features push-fit joints. All twin wall ducting coils from EasyMerchant are provided complete with a draw string for easy installation of cables. Our twinwall ducting delivers the benefits of a flexible product combined with strength and endurance. Both EasyMerchant's twin wall duct coils and wall 6m lengths are intended to satisfy the required compression strength and are supplied to suit NJUG recommendations. They're supplied in 6 metre straight lengths or 50 metre coils. The external corrugated profile provides the product added the internal bore and strength is smooth to prevent wires from snagging. If needed, a sealed joint may be accomplished by utilising push-fit coupling and two profile seals.
First of all, make sure you're installing the correct coloured ducting for the purpose at hand.
- Yellow Twinwall = Gas Ducting
- Black Twinwall = Electric Power Ducting
- Red Twinwall = High Voltage Power Ducting
- Blue Twinwall = Water Pipe Ducting
- Orange Twinwall = Street Lighting or Traffic Signals Ducting
- Purple Twinwall = Motorway Communications Ducting
Chose the correct material:
For short runs if the amount of distance for the twinwall ducting run is small then it's best to use a single walled PVC general purpose rigid ducting rather than a flexible one twin walled one.
For longer runs the best option would be to go for a flexible twin wall ducting, the external to the run is corrugated which makes it stronger and it has a smooth inner wall.
If additional strength is needed then twin wall ducting is the perfect option, and will be necessary if the cables are being installed underneath a road or pavement or heavy concrete.
When installing the depth of your trench should be between 30-45cm deep (unless it's a water pipe that has been installed in which case it ought to be between 75-135cm), this avoids any risk of frost damage to the pipe. To prevent any stones from piercing or damaging the pipe a layer of sand 5cm deep can be laid to protect the pipe.
By far our top seller is black twinwall for use with electrical cables. our black twinwall comes in either 6m lengths or 50m coils.

AAAS is involved with two new science outreach programs announced at a 25 July event organized by the office of William Colglazier, science and technology adviser for the U.S. Department of State.
The first is called Networks of Diasporas in Engineering and Science (or NODES), a joint effort by Colglazier's office, AAAS and the National Academy of Sciences to help the large number of highly trained scientists and engineers who have immigrated to the United States connect their talents with needs in their countries of origin.
The participants will use their contacts, both in the United States and in their home countries, to develop new scientific and institutional collaborations and spread scientific values—such as transparency and meritocracy—that can help foster economic growth and democracy.
The second program, the Science, Technology and Innovation Expert Partnership, will bring U.S. technology experts to foreign audiences through outreach efforts by U.S. embassies abroad.
Deputy Secretary of State William J. Burns announced the creation of the NODES program, saying: "We believe that, by combining our science diplomacy and our outreach to diasporas, we can push the envelope not just on what we know, but on who enjoys the benefits of that knowledge. We can prove through practice that one nation's benefit need not be another's loss. And we can help our scientists achieve what nations struggle so mightily to do: come together to solve the challenges we cannot solve on our own."
Under the new initiative, Burns said, members of science diasporas will convene regularly in partnership with U.S. government technical agencies, academia, and science and technology groups such as AAAS. He said a yearly gathering at the AAAS Annual Meeting "will serve as a catalyst for mobilizing new constituencies, launching new capacity-building activities, and sharing resources in partnership with the International Diaspora Engagement Alliance."
Vaughan C. Turekian and Shirley Malcom
As part of the launch of the second initiative, Alan I. Leshner, chief executive officer of AAAS, and representatives of 10 other science organizations were on hand to sign a memorandum of understanding on the expert partnership with Colglazier; Tara Sonenshine, the State Department's under secretary for public diplomacy and public affairs; and Daniel Clune, acting assistant secretary in the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs.
Vaughan C. Turekian, AAAS chief international officer and editor-in-chief of the new AAAS publication, Science & Diplomacy, said the new expert partnership will help expand the reach of U.S. scientists who already are abroad for scientific meetings or other activities. They will be offered opportunities to travel to nearby countries to lecture, under the auspices of the local American embassies, on important scientific and technological issues. Each of the partnership organizations will identify experts willing to participate in the program.
The announcement of the new science outreach initiatives was made in conjunction with the second annual Global Diaspora Forum, a 25-26 July conference organized by the State Department to recognize and celebrate the work of diaspora communities in the United States and encourage them to contribute to the development of their countries of origin.
Turekian and Shirley Malcom, head of AAAS Education and Human Resources programs, participated in a 26 July science diaspora conference associated with the Forum.

The cast and crew of "Juice" look back on the making of the film, 22 years later.
The movie "Juice" remains a classic when it comes to hip-hop dramas/gangster flicks, even, or perhaps especially, 22 years later. With the 22-year anniversary being today, January 17th, MySpace decided to go in-depth with the surviving actors and creators of the film to get the oral history of "Juice."
MySpace spoke to the cast and crew of the film to get the play-by-play on what went down on the set and in the making of "Juice" with a young Tupac Shakur. "Juice" was the directorial debut of Ernest Dickerson, and an epic one at that. Dickerson managed to scrounge together $3 million to make the film, and it went on to make six times that.
MySpace spoke to cast members Omar Epps, Khalil Kain, Jermaine "Huggy" Hopkins, Treach, and Fab 5 Freddy as well as Dickerson and his co-writer Gerard Brown and co-producer Peter Frankfurt.
Read some interesting excerpts from their oral history below, and check out some vintage flicks of the cast and crew in the gallery above.
Head to MySpace to read the full interview.
Ernest Dickerson: Some of the characters were based on composites of kids that I knew, the brother of my wife at the time and some of his friends. I wanted to make "Juice" as realistically as possible, because we were dealing with something that a lot of kids deal with: peer pressure. We wanted to show how kids turn to guns to prove their self-worth. Some of the people that read the script thought it was too dark. But it was our intention to do a movie that was as honest as possible.
Gerard Brown: We wanted a rapper to play Bishop. In fact we wanted Q, Steel and Raheem to [all] be played by rappers. So we brought in 30 or 40 rappers. And the only rapper that could act was Tupac.
Ernest Dickerson: Our casting director, Jaki Brown-Karman, started looking for unknown actors because I told [the producers] there was nobody that we knew of that could play these roles. Jaki started going to high schools for the performing arts and community church theater groups. She literally ran through hundreds of applicants. It had to be four guys that could play together to create a fifth character—which was the group mind. I pretty much knew who I wanted Q to be. I wanted him to be Omar [Epps].
Omar Epps: That's funny Ernest remembers it that way. [Laughs.] Because that was the first callbacks I ever had. That summer, I was 17, and just got out of high school. I looked at this script and it was funny because it was written in '70s vernacular. The characters were like, "Jive turkey" and all that. But they told us, "Yo, y'all just run with how y'all would do it."
rnest Dickerson: Khalil [Kain] was running strong to be Raheem because he felt like such a natural leader. Steel was originally written as this skinny little kid. But the person who came with the best reading of the character was Jermaine. Talking to Jermaine it was important to get across that in the script Steel was the push over…he was supposed to be the weakest member of the group. But in the script we wanted it to be known that even though he gets shot by Bishop he survives it. He's the one that helps resolve this. You just expected him to be the next one to die, but he doesn't and pulls through. So I told him, "You have been afraid of Bishop, but by this point you have just had enough." Basically Steel was telling Bishop, "What the fuck do you want from me?" He just has a generous soul. And he was the only member of our cast that had previous acting experience with Lean On Me.But Bishop was much more of a challenge. So one day, Treach from Naughty By Nature came in to read and he did a really good job, but he had this young brother hanging out with him. Treach turns to the guy and says, "What about you, man? You want to read?" The brother says, "Yeah, sure." He was Tupac Shakur.
Treach: So Pac went and read. I'm sitting outside, but I'm about to run up into the office because I think he's fighting in the room. All I hear is, "Yo motherfucker…you gotta die for this shit!" So as I'm coming to the door Pac is walking out and I'm like, "Yo, what's good?" And Pac goes, "Nah, I was just reading for them." I just looked at him and said, "Yo, I know you got that role."
Khalil Kain: At the audition, Pac very much was about separating the men from the boys. The man was hysterical. He was the first black man that I ever met in my life that told me to my face, "This time next year I'm going to be a millionaire." He's talking shit, just running his fucking mouth like, "Yeah, you motherfuckers don't know… I'm about to drop my album… I'm about to blow up!" We are all looking at Pac and laughing, "Nigga, shut the fuck up…you are not going to do shit!" But man, did he.
Omar Epps: I remember when I first met Pac they were filming different groups of actors together. So they were like, "Alright, let's try these four. They were trying to get that feel I guess. But me and Pac ended up hitting it off. At the same time we were both trying to get it in. It was like, "Whatever…let's go!" It was just dope how it came together. Pac was just a powerful spirit, man. I never really spent time with Kanye West, but when I see him I see the same honesty Pac had. A lot of people wouldn't think that about 'Ye, but his honesty is gangsta. And that's how Pac was. He was that way from day one when I met him. That's a magnetic quality. Me, I'm more of a laid-back, quiet person…I'm more of a listener. So Pac and I had a good contrast. I would be soaking everything up and he would be talking all the time. I've been doing this for 23 years and there is that X factor. People have it. And Pac was one of those guys that had it. When he walked into a room he made you want to say, "Who is that guy?" There's a energy going on, and Pac knew his truth. He foresaw everything that would happen to him.
Jermaine "Huggy" Hopkins: When it was pretty much getting down to the wire, they took us all out. They wanted to see how we would click together. They wanted to see which four guys would group up together naturally. And naturally me, Omar, Pac and Khalil basically became the clique.
Khalil Kain: Special Ed being in the movie was the kind of thing we didn't know about. You show up and there's EPMD. They were my shit! We had Samuel Jackson in our movie! Ernest wasn't telling us who was going to be on set. You see Fab 5 Freddy there and then Queen Latifah. After they filmed their parts they would just hang out.
Jermaine "Huggy" Hopkins: We didn't like the fact that Omar had love scenes with Cindy. But we were happy that Omar was our boy so he told us everything. [Laughs.] We had to be professional in front of everybody because we wanted to respect her and the set. But when we got in our own corners at the end of the day we are still teenagers from the inner city. So we are going to have that same conversation of, "Yo, how was it? When you kissed her, was her lips soft?" Especially me because I'm the youngest! I was in love with Cindy! [Laughs.]
Khalil Kain: The day we filmed the part where Bishop shoots Raheem I could tell Pac was shying away from it. Shooting me didn't feel right with him. And the first take we did was some bullshit. It was flat. The next take, I slammed Pac in the garbage cans. Pac got up and said, "Alright…alright motherfucker! I can't wait to bust you now!" It was on after that. We shot an amazing scene.
Gerard Brown: I was not happy with the way "Juice" ended. It was our first film, so we had to acquiesce to a lot of crap. Originally, the way the script was written, at the end of the fight scene between Bishop and Q, I had Bishop and Q falling through the roof, but the producers said that's too much money. So I had Bishop hanging over the ledge with Q pulling him up. But Bishop hears the police sirens and says to Q, "I'm not going to jail, man!" So in the script he breaks Q's grip and he falls to his death.
Ernest Dickerson: I was really bummed out that they made us take that gun out of our "Juice" poster. Because the gun wasn't in the poster for any frivolous reason. That gun is a pivotal part of the movie. The gun is a character; it's the source of all their problems.
Peter Frankfurt: I'm like, "Come on guys. We got Albert fucking Watson to shoot the poster! This is like a piece of art. Why are you freaking out?"

This past weekend my passion for sneakers and masks took me all the way to Zurich, Switzerland for Sneakerness. Thanks to Cadillac Europe for inviting me to be their featured artist as part of their "Dare Greatly" campaign. Cadillac Europe commissioned a custom sneaker mask that would reflect Cadillac style, which attendees of Sneakerness Zurich had a chance to win!
Today Cadillac Europe announced the winner – a Mr. Calcich! So if that's you, check your email! CONGRATS!
I chose the All Star Game 2017 Nike Air Zoom Generation for the Cadillac Europe mask. The beautiful, high quality vachetta tan leather accompanied by rose gold accents reminded me of the interior of a luxury vehicle. The lines and shapes of the shoe were also reminiscent of the daring designs found in the Cadillac fleet of vehicles. The mask was displayed at Sneakerness Zurich alongside 7 other sneaker masks – including the unreleased DB6 Pitbull mask!
Take a look at the gallery below for some views from Sneakerness Zurich.

LINCOLN, N.H. - After dominating the conference the opening two weekends, the Plymouth State College's skiing teams finished off a disappointing weekend Sunday in the giant slalom at the Brown University Winter Carnival at Loon Mountain.
The Panther men's squad finished second out of 10 teams, the first time in six races this season that PSC did not win the team title. Colby-Sawyer finished first, followed by PSC, Boston College and UMass.
The Panther women's squad, which had won the first four races of the season and placed third in Saturday's slalom, dropped to fifth in Sunday's giant slalom. Brown captured the team title, followed by Boston College, Colby-Sawyer, UMass and PSC.
Despite the disappointing team finishes, PSC had the individual winner in both races. Senior Fred DeBaets (St. Sauveur, QUE) turned in his best outing of the season with his first individual win this year. He was the winner six times in 10 races last season. Sophomore Cher Murphy (East Northport, N.Y.) captured her first individual victory of the season and second of her career with a win in the women's race.
Two other Panther men registered top 10 finishes. Junior EJ Cheney (Bethel, Maine) placed ninth and senior Jake Manseau (Henniker, N.H.) took 10th. Junior Tim Mitchell (Ashland, Mass.), who has been PSC's top skier this season, won the second of the two runs but suffered a fall in the first run and finished 62nd overall.
After Murphy, the next highest finisher for the Panther women was sophomore Janine Iannillo (Monroe, N.Y.), who placed 19th.
The Panthers will be back in action next weekend at the Boston College Winter Carnival at Ascutney Mountain in Vermont.

When viewing buy-to-let property for sale, you'll probably be thinking about how you can add value in capital growth, not to mention make the house more appealing to tenants.
One of the most popular ways to improve a property is to add a loft conversion. The big question is – is it worth the extra expense?
The Benefits of a Loft Conversion
The main advantage of a loft conversion is that it adds space to your property. If you're investing in UK property with the intention of converting it to an HMO, this could equate to one or two additional bedrooms – which equals a far more sizeable monthly rental yield.
If the loft is a good size, it's also possible to add a bathroom up there, or extra living space if you're trying to appeal to a family market.
The Costs Involved
Exact costs vary, depending on the nature of your conversion. A basic conversion, which doesn't involve any major structural changes (i.e. just installing velux windows into the roof) may cost as little as £10,000. However, if you're going for a more comprehensive conversion, complete with dormer windows and an en suite bathroom (for example), expect to pay around £40,000.
Questions to Ask
When viewing buy-to-let properties for sale, it's important to consider the following:
Finding the Right Buy-to-Let Property for Sale
If you're serious about investing in property in the UK, it's important to find the right house, in the right location. To add value with a loft conversion, you'll need to identify a property that offers the right dimensions, and the potential to extend your rental yield, not to mention the house's overall value.
By working with a property investment agent, you'll have access to a wealth of properties that are suitable for conversion and improvement – at a price that suits. The Buy2Let Shop have a wide range of available properties on their books, all priced competitively to sell, which aren't available to the general public.

One Month & A Dream Pantry
Yesterday marked one month until Settlement on our new home so I'm putting on my Organised Adult Face. Certain behaviours come with the Face, like emailing mortgage people and signing Stat Decs and getting quotes on new carpet. The first 30 days since we purchased have flown and Organised Adult Face only made a brief appearance on two occasions – when I booked the removalists and when we decided which wall to knock down first.
Simon and I have moved house 3 times together (not including the day he moved in with me) and probably 30+ times collectively – we should have this system down by now, right?
One thing we have learned along the way is that it's easier to get rid of things than move them. When I opened the pantry at breakfast time today all I saw were jars and packets and sachets of stuff that I will have to put in a box and unpack at the other end. I decided then and there on No More Buying and a lot more Using Up. First to go were 3 half-packets of lentils and barley, hiding halfway to Narnia at the back of the pantry.
That's the thing about pantries – our current one is narrow and deep, perfect for stuffing full of things and then forgetting about most of them. In our new home, we get to design a new kitchen from scratch and I tell you what – it makes me happier than a spoonful of peanut butter in the middle of the night.
My dream pantry would be either walk-thru or walk-in, have wide, shallow shelves and a step-stool for accessing the upper storage areas. I'd be able to keep semi-useful appliances and big pots in there so they didn't take up bench or drawer space. And judging by my Kitchen Pinterest board, it would need white subway tiles on the walls. I'd have to buy shares in a glass jar company but I'd be ok with that.
What are your pantry essentials?
We used to have a walk in pantry, growing up on the farm. But it was not a jot like those ones up there! I remember it being cold and dark! Love the one from Oh Happy Day 🙂
We have a pullout pantry and some drawers in my baking zone that I use, makes it so much easier to keep it under control.
Oh I'm in love with that tiled pantry Kate!!!

Welcome to the very first blog entry on the JR Koch Team Blog page! This blog entry, "Public vs. Private?" was inspired by a recent meeting with clients who will be listing their home with the JR Koch Team in the near future. These clients are wanting to sell their home for 2 primary reasons, to move into a more desirable public school system, acquire more sq. footage and a additional bedroom. This raises the question, "Is it better to remain in a home that you love and pay for private schooling?" or "Is it better to try to sell your current home and buy in a more desirable school district?" Of course, the decision is always up to you, but here are some things to think about:
Selling a home in a less desirable school district is sometimes a challenge:
- Your home could potentially sit on the market for quite a while. This may impact your ability to buy a home in a different area if you must make your offer contingent upon the sale of your current home.
- Your home may not sell for the value that you feel it is worth because of the area/school district that it is located within.
Private School Pros/Cons/Misconceptions
- Class size is small with 18:1 ratio compared to many public schools with 25:1 ratio
- Many offer competitive athletics and extracurricular activities
- Many offer competitive academics with STEM/STREAM based programs
- May not be equipped to provide support to special needs students beyond resource support
Misconceptions (must be Catholic, too expensive, etc)
- do not need to be Catholic to attend Catholic schools
- many schools have scholarships available to assist with cost
Here are a couple articles with more information to consider

UNION CITY, Mich. – Is it simple arithmetic, a potential sexual innuendo or both? You be the judge.
Mickaylah Brigg's class t-shirt reads, "The girls are hot. The boys are fine. We're the class of 6 + 9."
That's the exact wording for the Union City High School class of 2015 shirt.
"Our class is like the joking class, so we wanted it to be funny and represent us," Briggs explained.
However, Union's school administrators didn't see the humor.
"Administration did accept them for us to buy them. Like say, they're appropriate for school and stuff," Briggs said. "Then that Friday, we all turned our money in. We found out they were not school appropriate, but it was too late."
Administrators informed students that the shirts had a "potential sexual innuendo." Briggs said a classmate got suspended for wearing it on Friday.
"Then we all decided that we were going to wear our shirts that Monday," Briggs said. "I got suspended walking into school. They waited for everybody to walk into school, and everybody that had a shirt got kicked out."
They were suspended for the last day of school.
"I don't see the sexual innuendo," Briggs' mother said.
Bobbiejoe Briggs said she complained to the superintendent and questioned the disapproval well before any of the suspensions.
Without the 'plus sign', Mrs. Briggs said she could understand.
However, with it 'addition sign,' Mrs. Briggs sees it as a simple math problem.
"I can see where 6 + 9 equals the year students are graduating," Briggs noted that the '9' rhymes with 'fine.'
"And I feel suspension is probably a little too far. Why couldn't they have them take their shirts off? Especially if it was the first offense instead of the second offense," Briggs said.
Superintendent Peter Kreger over the phone. Kreger said students were warned, and they were acting insubordinate by wearing the shirt anyway.

Because aggression and passivity have severe costs along with whatever benefits they carry, and because the world is never strictly black or white, people are rarely polarized as purely passive and purely aggressive. Bullies have often been victims of bullying or abuse themselves, and the fears they have about being victims if they are not aggressors tend to come from experiences being the victims themselves. In addition, people often are aware that aggression is not socially acceptable, so they work to hide their aggression to make it more "politically correct." Finally, people are not always capable of being assertive in all situations, as many times the environments have unfair power imbalances that force passivity onto people. Because of this, people often see one of two sets of patterns emerge where passivity and aggression are blended: passive-aggressive behaviors and cycles of passivity and aggressiveness
Passive-aggressive behaviors
The first of such mixes is what is known as being "passive-aggressive." Passive-aggression in its pure form is when someone purposely uses inaction or censors their own thoughts and feelings (passivity) in a way to exert control over a situation (aggression). This can manifest in intentionally forgetting to do things, stubborn refusal, intentional inefficiency, the use of sarcasm to express beliefs, and other forms of inactive defiance. This can also manifest in learned helplessness, where a person refuses to use the abilities they have because they fear they will not work, and they resort to the passivity to get others to do things for them. Finally, there is the emotional passive aggression. This is where a person self censors by denying a negative feeling (passivity) while simultaneously shaming (aggression) someone for causing, or likely not preventing, that same negative emotion.
Even though passive-aggression is not the ideal way to handle a problem, it is also not always negative. In situations where there are stark power differentials that do not allow for the oppressed group to assert their rights, passive aggressive actions may be the only way to resist abuse or facilitate change. When the assertive answer is not offered and not possible, passive-aggression becomes the best choice of all the bad options. Humor and sarcasm, for example, are also passive-aggressive. In the hands of the oppressed, they are ways to point out their oppression without suffering severe consequences of a censoring hierarchy. In the kings court, as is said, the jester is the only one who can speak the truth. In the hands of the oppressors, the people who have the power to act assertively, they act to reinforce the abuses being committed while simultaneously avoiding the responsibility for that abuse. Jokes about rape provide the clearest example of this effect. In the hands of those who enforce the disastrous status quo, jokes about rape reinforce the mentality and promote the behavior of rape and ultimately promotes the aggression of rape. However, in a world where women are being told they are responsible for preventing their own rapes while less than 6% of rapists will ever see jail time, jokes about rape have also been made to point out these double standards and have become an incredibly powerful tool for building empathy with the struggles of the gender most at risk. It's not hypocrisy because the difference in gender treatment in our society creates an imbalance of power. If the power situation were equal, if women weren't being raped more than 5x the rate of men and then being blamed for their own rapes, it would be a different story. But because the ability for women to assert their rights and be heard and taken seriously is limited due to the gender inequality, this passive aggressive tactic is appropriate.
But passive-aggression still relies on aggression and passivity. Though it can be a powerful tool for change in the hands of the oppressed, it is still not the best tool, but rather the best choice of a set of bad options. When passive-aggressive tactics start to arise, it either means that one group has been so disenfranchised that they don't have ways to assert themselves to have their needs met, or it means that a group can assert themselves, but they know their need is not appropriate. In the former, the passive-aggressive behavior is a symptom of a larger problem in the environment. In the former, the power imbalance is such that people cannot successfully use assertive techniques, and so the system needs to be modified to give people back their equal standing so that there are better options beyond passive-aggression. In the latter, however, the people employing passive-aggressive behaviors have the power to be assertive, know they have the power, but are choosing to be aggressive instead. Because they know they are being aggressive, and that aggression is not accepted, they mask it with passive-aggression to avoid responsibility. Answering the latter involves tearing away that mask to point out the aggression.
Passivity and Aggression cycles
Where passive-aggressive behaviors can sometimes be the only way for the disempowered to act, the cyclical behaviors of passivity and aggressiveness are generally both self-destructive and destructive to others. The passivity and aggression cycle occurs when a person becomes passive until a problem, frustration, or resentment builds up to the point where that person then explodes in a cathartic but aggressive act of physical or emotional violence. The person can be self censoring ("I should not be upset" or "I am bad if say what I think or feel") or they can feel the censorship is imposed ("I can't say that because it is not politically correct," or "If I hit him/her now, I will go to prison, so I have to suck it up.") Because the problem does not get addressed, this creates a cycle of passivity and resentment that builds until the person cannot take it anymore or can find a reason to justify an aggressive response. The person lashes out releasing the pent up resentment and frustration, and that release becomes more important than the actual problems that cause it.
For some people, this is the case of the straw that breaks the camel's back. The blow up is then regretted and leads to a sense of shame that causes the person to repress their feelings more. This feeds the cycle, and the person represses and blows up and represses again. This person becomes bitter, angry, and high strung. In many situations, there are real issues that are oppressing this person, but instead of addressing the very real problem, they repress and avoid it. The problem is left to fester, and they end up destroying their relationships and hurting others as they continue to avoid the problem. When addressing bullying in schools, this is the pattern that Stuart Twemlow saw in many teachers. The teachers were themselves being being bullied but administration, pressured by parents, and regularly dealing with student defiance. They let the the resentment build up until they found a student or instance of class wide misbehavior, and then would unleash with ridicule or other forms of targeted aggression. The teacher had real problems he or she felt powerless to address, and would "suck it up" until he or she reached the point of explosion. The problem never got solved, many children were abused emotionally, and other children were taught by example that bullying behaviors were acceptable.
This pattern becomes darker when the liberation or narcissistic gratification that came from the blow-up is itself rewarding. Lashing out can give people a sense of control and power. Lashing out becomes its own tool with several secondary gains including the ability to be aggressive and controlling while avoiding responsibility. This is the cycle of "gotcha" aggression. In gotcha aggression, the person knows the aggression they want to enact is not appropriate or acceptable. Because of this, the person actively seeks out reasons to unleash their attacks onto the target. In their minds they cannot be held responsible for their aggression if they can blame their target for the violence unleashed upon them. "Ha! Gotcha! Now I can do whatever I want to you!" This is the aggression seen often in domestic violence, where one partner waits for reasons to attack another just so they can make the controlling aggression the victim's fault. The broken plate or spilled coffee is met with a beating because it never was about the plate or coffee, it was just about absolute obedience. The recent gamergate fiasco is a perfect example of this as well. The controversey was fabricated by an angry ex who wanted to exert control over his ex girlfriend. The men involved had a history of highly sexist and woman hating speech on internet message boards. The target was a woman who was starting to become powerful in the gaming community. The result was a campaign of death threats, rape threats, and doxing, all justified by a conspiracy that was all founded on the accusations of an angry ex. The accusations were fabricated, but even if they were true, they did not justify the abusive level of aggression that was used in response. But that is because with aggression, it never is about the problem or solving the problem.
*Update 10/2/14 – Aggression by Proxy*
After I first published this post, I realized there was a third way people blend passivity and aggressiveness: aggression by proxy. Aggression by proxy is a symbiotic aggression and passivity collusion. In this dark partnership, one individual enacts the aggression, and others cheer on his or her action. Those cheering on the aggression get all the rewards of the aggression, such as the feelings of power and control, the cathartic release of resentment and frustration, etc, but they bare none of the responsibility for the actions that are taken on by another. The aggressor, meanwhile, enjoys the protections of the masses who will come together to absolve the aggressor of his or her crimes.It's not just the bully on the playground beating the kid in many situations because there is also often a throng of accomplices who hoot and holler, egging on the violence without directly enacting it. Modern cyber-bullying thrives on this form of aggression. The primary bully is the one who posts the humiliating video, but every person who shares and makes a humiliating comment feeds the efforts of the primary bully and does so without fear of reprisal.
Next: assertiveness.

Fri, 29th May 2020 | Updated Tuesday 23 July 2019, 08:45:36
Seychelles Nation 08-May-2017 - Well-managed protected areas are central to the achievement of the Seychelles National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan 2015 —2020, the global Aichi Biodiversity Targets and the Sustainable Development Goals.
The expectations society places on protected areas are tremendous: protect biodiversity, maintain or increase the flow of ecosystem services, promote sustainable use of natural resources to benefit local communities, generate income through ecotourism, and much more. Given the many demands placed on protected areas, how can we effectively plan their management in a way that yields these many benefits and at the same time involve stakeholders as partners? How can we evaluate the many tradeoffs between tourism and biodiversity protection that are inherent in protected area management? Over time, how can we know if we are successful?
These questions continually confront protected areas managers. They underline the importance of planning based on sound principles and concepts, best practices and appropriate knowledge. In many cases, following legislative direction or agency policy, managers of protected areas need to make tradeoffs between visitor access and potential impacts on natural resources and biodiversity. Visitors are managed to fulfill these mandates but also to build constituencies for protected areas by generating income and improving the human condition.
In Seychelles, the existing set of protected areas is relatively complex. The Protected Area Policy (2013) simplify the categories of PAs to harmonise with international (IUCN) categories, which are used by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and international institutions. The Policy defines five categories of protected area: Strict Nature Reserve (ICUN Ia), Ecological Reserve (IUCN IV), National Park (IUCN II), Protected Landscape/seascape (IUCN V) and Sustainable Use Area (IUCN VI). Under a new Bill to be put forward this year, following up on the Protected Area Policy, all these will need management plans.
From April 25-27, 2017 the GOS-UNDP-GEF Protected Areas Finance (PAF) project in collaboration with the GOS-UNDP-GEF Outer Island (OI) project, held a three-day training workshop for protected area managers in Seychelles. The training aimed to help managers to develop effective and appropriate management strategies for the variety of issues which arise in their conservation areas. Participants had an opportunity to enhance their critical thinking skills, learn new skills relevant to protected area planning and ‒ through group work ‒ discuss and develop competency in choosing management strategies and techniques appropriate for their protected areas.
An additional training session was conducted on April 28 for the Seychelles Fishing Authority, fishermen's associations, and other stakeholders to introduce key planning concepts for marine conservation and sustainable use areas, which are to be introduced into Seychelles' protected area system as part of the on-going Marine Spatial Planning exercise.
Training was facilitated by Charles Besancon, who has over 25 years of professional experience with protected areas management, policy and monitoring. Training was attended by 32 participants from Seychelles National Parks Authority, Island Conservation Society, Fisherman and Boat Owners Association, Seychelles Fishing Authority, Seychelles Islands Foundation, Sea Cucumber Fishers Association, Fond Ferdinand Foundation, Marine Conservation Society of Seychelles, The Nature Conservancy Seychelles, Green Island Foundation, Fregate Island and the Department of Environment.

Despite a forecast of fog and 40 mile an hours gusts, 13 of us turned up to the Craven Conservation Group foray including the leaders Jane and Archie. It was actually reasonably warm. The strong winds did not materialise so it was just another typical damp Craven day...
And a typical fun, action-full, informative, fascinating fantastic foray. Thanks again Jane and Archie! We walked from Giggleswick up the footpath through the fields towards Giggleswick School chapel.
So what did we find.
First - Galerina atkinsoniana (formerly Galerina vittiformis subsp. atkinsoniana) recognisable by its hairy stipe
|Galerina atkinsoniana
We found several waxcaps. This white one which does not have a smell is the Snowy waxcap formerly Hygrocybe virginea but now Cuphophyllus virgineus. (We had earlier found Hygrocybe russocoriacea which is whitish -slightly brownish but has a smell of cedar shavings)
|Snowy Waxcap
We found three examples of Hymenoscyphus. This is a tiny Ascomycete (cup fungus)
First we noticed the Ash Dieback near Settle HighSchool
That used to be called Chalara but now it is called Hymenoscyphus fraxinius.
Then we found this Hymenoscyphus sp on a pine cone. The head is about 1mm across
Here is a view from the side. See the moss for comparison
|Ascocoryne sarcoides
Here is an old Yellow Fieldcap - Bolbitius titubans (formerly vitellinus)
and here is a younger one
Inside was Ganoderma australe - Artists' fungus.
I also found this lichen on the bark of the old Ash trunk
On the slope by the cricket pitch were some Clouded Agarics or Cluded funnelcaps Clitocybe nebularis
And a beautiful tiny inkcap called Parasola
Beside the footpath parallel to the very steep tarmac road down to Giggleswick there was a mossy edge to the path with lots of Marchantia
And growing in the Marchantia was this bright orange Omphalina type fungus which may well be Rickenella fibula, though the larges one was over 2cm across.
Archie took this with him next day when he was visiting Roy Watling in Edinbugh. and Roy recognised it as Loreleia postii (Formerly Omphalina postii)- which grows on Marchantia Liverwort. Distribution Map
It is similar to Loreleia marchantiae which was spotted by Bryologist Sam Bosanquet on Twitter two weeks later in Wales.
People who came included
Diana, Geoff, Robert Starling, Julie, Ken, Jo, Christine, Maureen,Doris, Paula, myself, Jane, Archie.
We did not know it then, but this was Robert's last trip out with CCG
Jane and Archie have now sent me an updated list. I can send it to people if they ask.
Welcome to future CCG meetings.

Omniscience our specialism

Useful information
I help!

Learn more about me here!
Some people wonder why I called this enterprise Mycroft.
Mycroft is the name of Sherlock Holmes' brother. Mycroft Holmes uses his mental abilities to gather, process and evaluate information for the British government. Sherlock Holmes describes Mycroft's work in "The Bruce-Partington Plans":
"He has the tidiest and most orderly brain, with the greatest capacity for storing facts, of any man living. The same great powers which I have turned to the detection of crime he has used for this particular business. The conclusions of every department are passed to him, and he is the central exchange, the clearinghouse, which makes out the balance. All other men are specialists, but his specialism is omniscience. We will suppose that a minister needs information as to a point which involves the Navy, India, Canada and the bimetallic question; he could get his separate advices from various departments upon each, but only Mycroft can focus them all, and say offhand how each factor would affect the other."
We must not forget, of course, that Mycroft Holmes is a fictional character. But even in real life it actually can help if you are able to talk things over with someone who is intelligent, well educated and knowledgeable.
So go ahead, make my day!

Only person who can tolerate my wife
Husband thinks so. If you ask his wife, she will say that she is the only person who can tolerate her husband. I am talking about the couple I know here.
Both of them were consulting me for more than a year. They followed my instructions sincerely. Yet, the situation remained the same – they were continuing to fight with each other.
Then one day a miracle happened. The husband saw the blog I had earlier posted in WordPress: http://wp.me/ptUIO-2f.
He simply took the statement from the post – "I am not the doer. Divine is the doer", as an affirmation and continued to chant it.
After few days of chanting his anger came down and felt his wife has born in this world for his sake, thanks to the divine, so that necessary healing can happen for him, and thereby his karma is nullified.
We might give remedies and healing techniques. Only divine decides which one will work. Divine's way is too mysterious for us to comprehend in one lifetime!!!
Go away from my life
As you said, I am chanting "TOGETHER DIVINE" and "REVERSE BOW CONCEDE", but with no use. He just tells me to go away from his life. He always tells that.
You had asked me to analyze what is that in me that makes me quarrel with him. I was deeply hurt by him emotionally on more than 5 occasions that wounds have not healed at all.
So whenever he tells me something with kind of hatred, all those bad memories come back to me.
But the problem is not exactly that. He always tries to pick on something to create a dispute. Be it his fault or mine, it points towards me and each time he says that "I don't need you, go away from my life".
Due to recurring fights, now I have become numb towards all these.
He doesn't allow me to go for work even though I have done my masters and currently doing my Ph.D. He doesn't give me any money at all and I don't need that too, I don't ask for it.
He is a kind of "passive aggressive husband". I don't know why he is like this.
I love him a lot and I don't want to leave him coz I think that he loves me too. I am really desperate to get out of this situation. I want peace and love in my family.
He is not talking and he does not have food from home – this is what he does when we have fights. But this time it's been 3 weeks now.
I will be able to handle the future, coz if I remain calm then the fight would be lesser (actually I was doing this for the past 1 year).
It is quite surprising when you say you love him.
But you are not able to forget the wounds. As long as you nurse and nurture these emotional hurts, you can never have harmony (in marriage).
If you want to be with him and really love him why do you expect love from him?
First give (it to him).
Give profusely from the heart.
Find out why you love him. Find those qualities in him that makes you love him. Thank him for that.
You are writing this from your point of view. You have already decided that he is a passive aggressive husband.
If that is so, he cannot take initiative towards harmony. If you don't bow or concede you can never have the life you want.
What should I do to get harmony?
Go all out and give love.
What should I not do to get harmony?
Stop your blaming tendencies.
Stop the feeling that you are hurt.
It is important for you to be in love than to be right.
Each day think about ways and means by which you can re-associate emotionally.
Your resistance (to love) is your enemy.
Change your heart first to change his heart.
My husband never talks to me
My husband never talks to me lot but talks to other girls and women.
When we go to function he shares all his works to other women which he has not told me. If I call him to any place he says no time, but spend time for his mom and his sisters.
I want my husband to respect me and share only to me.
Do you respect your husband?
Yes I respect him, help him a lot and I tell all the things to him before he asks or others tell him.
But many a times I have come to know about him from others – business or family matters. Only if I ask him he will say. I feel hurt at that time.
He wants me to invite his brother and sis-in-law, but argues with me and starts a fight. But never ask them a word if they talk false of me.
Do the forgiving exercise.
Write TOGETHER DIVINE daily 100 times and 11 times with the left hand (if you are a right-hander)

If you've ever been inside a house with a conservatory, you've likely witnessed the soft gravitation pulling everyone toward it, as if the house was tilted in that direction.
Classic Conservatory Design
While only three sets of doors open out onto the surrounding stone patio, others are identical – and continue the room's tranquil rhythm.
At 21 feet wide, 28 feet long and nearly 20 feet high at the peak, the room is large (as conservatories go.) This custom conservatory is used as an informal garden room or tea room, its sense of style is unmistakable. Cozy rattan chairs and sofa with supple stuffing cogitate beneath baskets of flowering flora and potted palms. At the center of the homes entertainment, the conservatory softens the transition from indoors to out and encourages the passage between.
Inside, this tea room conservatory is separated from the main house by matching french doors. The Palladian highlight windows are motorized to allow flow-through-ventilation on cool summer eves.

It is the U.S. Government's way to encourage each citizen to save up to $5,000/year (or $6,000/year if you are 50 years old and older) with some pretty nice tax benefits. This means a married couple can save up to $10,000/year (or $12,000 if you're both 50 or older).
There are two types of IRAs. Traditional and Roth. They are quite different. Here are the basic concepts of each.
* Your contribution is NOT tax deductible, but ALL the principal and interest earnings are tax free when you withdraw them after age 59-1/2.
* You can withdraw your principal (the money you actually invested in the Roth IRA) at any age with no penalty. But you will pay penalties if you withdraw any of your interest earnings before age 59-1/2
* Your Roth IRA money can be invested in almost anything: stocks, bonds, CDs, investment property. . . through a bank or brokerage.
* Contributions ARE tax deductible. However, taxes (on principal and interest earned) will be charged when you begin to withdraw your money.
* You cannot withdraw any of your contribution or interest earned until age 59-1/2. You do not have to withdraw at that age, but MUST begin withdrawing by age 70-1/2. If you withdraw your money before you are 59-1/2 there is at least a 10% penalty. Ouch.
* Again, your Traditional IRA can be invested in almost anything: stocks, bonds, CDs, investment property. . . through a bank or brokerage.
To max out your yearly contribution would be a monthly investment of $416.67 per person (or $500 per person/month age 50 and older). However, your contributions can be made in any increment at any time, and you do not have to reach the $5,000 limit.
$10,000/year savings might not sound like it will ever amount to much, but if you can consistently put that away in either kind of IRA from age 40 until you retire at age 65, you'll have over $1,000,000. Just think how much you'll have if you start investing in your 20's!!! The earlier you start saving any amount in an IRA, the more money you'll have at retirement -- remember, compound interest is your very best friend over the long haul.
