Making assumptions on what has been done by hearing it from second hand accounts. Missing the blessing for yourself, because you think it is better served from another mouth and not the Lords.
Know him for yourself, not through other people's accounts, because you are just getting a story now, and not a blessing. You are watching the sick get healed, and remaining stagnate hoping for the same results. Faith comes from hearing, blessings come from work, not from osmosis. You can't lay the bible under your pillow, out your head on the pillow and hope that what's in it will filter up through the "barrier" you put up. Trying to get it your way, instead of his.
You want to know him, you want to receive God into your life. Open your Bible and seek him, get to know him, let him lead you, and you will get there. You will receive.
Faith is the evidence of things unseen, but you can't have faith without trust. You can't hear God if you don't open your heart, and you can't change your favor by doing the same thing that got you out of favor.
I didn't get to know God by continuing to seek the approval of the world, I didn't fix the strife in my life by standing in the same spot. Th Lord said move, and I finally did, he said come and I entered into his grace.
Look at what Mary did in faith, she trusted that her sorrow would become joy, her emptiness would be filled by trust, and she didn't take it and try to hide like many of us do. She didn't hold her miracle only to herself but she shared it with the world.
Why aren't you taking your blessings, and sharing them with the lost, letting your Faith lead others out of the wilderness. Because in fellowship, their is strength. In fellowship their is growth, but in solitude, in the world, is loneliness, their is weakness and the devil will fool you and make you think you are stuck. But you are never stuck, because he never leaves you. God never abandons you, even when you walk away, he follows, he waits, he loves, he Grace's you with favor, with mercy and continues to speak to your heart, letting you know, when you are ready, when you are done falling in the dark, he will turn on your light. He will guide you out, and into the promise Land.
This little light of my mine
When you hear that song you have to realize what that means. I think of it like this, we are full of the holy spirit, like in conception and birth God filled us with the his holy spirit, like Holy oil, our heart is the wick. So we are born and we are already filled to the brim with his holy oil. We live and we are brought to church, hopefully, our parents, our loved ones expose us to the joy of God's love and we go along. I mean it's what they do so it's what we do, until we reach a point of questioning, a time when we begin to talk with God but unknowingly. He's calling us, he's letting us know, letting you know that he's with you. Always has been and is just waiting for you to make a choice to let him shine, let him shine let him shine. In everything and everywhere you go, let him shine. Yet, he can't shine until you let the holy spirit come alive, let it light within you. So you argue with God a little, we all have. Why, how, if you are here why am I going through the traumas, the hazards of life that seem so unfair. We argue, pushing blame on him and not taking responsibility Here is the key, not taking blame for our choices. Because at every turn Jesus has laid out two paths, a path of righteousness, and a path of the world. And many times, the path of the world appears…key word, appears easier. Like it comes with less judgement, less persocution and offers a faster more direct path to what We want. The funny thing, since we are always searching for him, always seeking him, and until we make the choice to let him light us, until we make a choice to let him shine within us, we will always be shadows chasing the night. But God will get you, he always does. You either hit rock bottom, or you just make a decision to take a leap of faith and just let him in. And once we do, he lights that joy, he takes away the fear, he pushes the dark out and fills us with his light. And we let it shine, we let shine let it shine. Now I am not a perfect Christian, I don't know one, and every day I struggle, I fight against the flesh, and the darkness, the ways of the world, satan, tries to sneak back in. Looking for a weakness, a moment of doubt to captialize on and some days that darkness gets in farther then I care to admit, always farther then I want, but with Faith, with constant prayer, just simply talking to God every day, I never go back to where I was. I never find myself lost in the darkness because he is shining in me. If God is for me, than who or what can stand against me. If I chose to make the same promise to God that he makes to me, I never lose my way. It's my choice, my choice to let him shine in everything I do, and why would I turn that light off, why would I walk in any other direction and go back to that despair, that sadness and unfulfilling life that he brought me out of? So when I hear that song, this little light of mine, I think of what it means in me, what God has done for me, and I am excited for what he has in store for me. So I let it shine, I ask God every day to shine in me, through me, to let others find their way out of the darkness by following his light. And if you feel like your light is dimming, like the darkness is creeping in; ask him to rekindle, to brighten within you.
I'm stained with secrets
slowly burning with heat of sunrise
My heart lives there
between the echoed footsteps of goodbyes
My lips spill time uncontrollably
my tongue is chasing seconds
That pass memories in the dark
I'm filled with Faith
Raging with the joy of Resurrection
my soul lives here
Inside the tears of trials and triumphs
My voice carries a message that is everlasting
It is unconditional, it is love
From my youth
For Black History Month I thought I would share something I wrote as a teen, that entails my experiences…
So is this really my culture to bear,
just because I am the only black man in the room – does not
make me a shadow.
My voice sounds like a whip
my walk is an echo of every march to unify our Nation
my tears are rivers that lead from captivity to equality
and when you see me –
I am still just a wish never dreamed of
a thunderstorm you long to drive through
yet safety is found under black roof tops that shelter you from
the truth.
So I stand in every room
Cracking my whip across misled perceptions
because being black is not a conception to be used to be
less than
it means the scars that have been covered by progress
are not to be forgotten
the sting of once open wounds has not dissipated
only numbed
Within our hearts we relieve the triumph of everyone who
spoke and died for us
So this whip I swing back and pray you feel it snap across your conscious. That being alive, is being human
that is what we are all struggling to be,
Project I'm working on
The truth….
Unimaginable, untangible,
Maybe to scarring to recall.
Holding on to blind ambiton,
I-we, have followed you here.
Nothing promised in this cool dark night yet our footsteps are one. Marching loudly into the bursting warmth of daylight. I dare not speak to my neighbors who look on just as scared as me.
Hoping to touch solid ground, we have lemminged towards the worlds edge. Taking science over heart, words over faith, decomposition of flesh over a higher cause.
My soul cries out!
Believing that we live without purpose, substance.
Jump, is the cry heard above this blaring silence. It echoes back through us and it begans. No one claims shouting it out, lead by what might have been heard by one of us, a multitude follows that empty shroud over the edge.
Still , there in the middle one stops to look around. Reaches arms out and halts those behind.
Open your eyes, none of this….
Is real.
Dads matter
As time passes after my divorce I find myself more and more financially hurt. I keep trying to figure why and then I sit down and write it all out.
I am not a dead beat Dad, I show up to everything, whether it is my scheduled time or not. I pay my child support, I pay activity fees and help with groceries and about 70% of my income goes to help mom pay for things with our babies. That does not nor will it ever bother me, I Love my broken family (because divorce breaks a little of all us inside). I want the best for my kids, even my ex-wife.
What kills me is she wants more, she chooses to not work in the summer time. She chooses to not sit down and budget with me for upcoming activities and expenses. I just get a bill that keeps going and less and less information of where and when things are happening.
Less and less.
I thought our job as parents (together or apart) was to do the best for our kids, for each other. Imagine what we could do working together, just communicating. The view changes with a simple conversation.
This is scattered I know, just random free falling thoughts of a Dad….looking for ways to ask a Mom….to be better than our past by working together.
We all have bad moments in our life, but if you choose to remain in the position; you will never grow. If you never grow, they never grow.
Sigh, it just frazzles my mind on how to make things work, how to change things…how do we become better when we don't exist.
Dad moving forward
Burnt embers sizzle out in the morning mist, leaving that stale, fresh sent of the end wafting through the air.
Through closed eyelids I REM through vivid emotions of what once was.
Subconsciously that arm draped over my sides is holding it all together. Distant fights, silent mornings of "I need you" that never got completed because prideful lips fastened shut in fear.
Empty chairs holding sheltered laughter, harsh goodbyes and passion lost to the burning embers of this torn heart.
Clear gray pastures that lead me abound
Journeys into the unknown abyss of unlimited possibilities.
I have swam these concrete waters before, this time it's different. The construction seems to patch up those distant fears I hid
behind before.
Nothing quiets the labor of rubber being beaten upon ancient cracks of regret yet even that constant reminder cannot diffuse the beauty that is before me.
I pray with wide open eyes, I thank with closed lips and look only ahead.

I refrained from posting the claims earlier this week that the government had recaptured Musa Qala because I didn't believe it. Well, "Afghan forces are still battling for control of a symbolic district of southern Helmand province, the NATO forces commander told reporters, contradicting the defence ministry, after more than a week of intense fighting supported by U.S. air strikes." To be precise, that is 24 U.S. air strikes.
Meanwhile, a poison gas attack on a school in Herat sickens 134 girl students and their teachers in Herat city, one day after 200 were poisoned elsewhere in the province.
Seven police are killed and their weapons taken in southern Helmand province, apparently after having been rendered unconscious by a spiked drink. A similar tactic was used in August in Lashkargah.
Three police defect to the Taliban in Baghlan.
For what it's worth, the Afghan MoD makes the usual claims of 100 Taliban killed or wounded vs. 8 ANA soldiers killed in the past 24 hours. Make of it what you will.
Xinhua gets specific, reporting 1 ANA soldier killed and 2 injured in Kunar province in an attempt to reopen the road between Asmar and Ghazi Abad district. The police chief's statement indicates that this has yet to be accomplished.
Vikram Sood comments on the bizarre unwillingness of the U.S. to distinguish between friend and foe in its continuing pretense of alliance with Pakistan. Can't really summarize it all but here's a bit:
Pakistan's Deep State finds its stock of terror assets depleted in the last few years. The first to go was Osama Bin Laden sheltered in Pakistan for 10 years while Pakistan pretended to 'co-operate' with the US in his hunt.. . Mullah Omar, nursed by the Pakistanis for two decades, died in a Karachi hospital on April 23, 2013 but this too was disclosed in July this year. . . .
Couldn't have said it better myself.
The acknowledgement that Mullah Omar was irrevocably dead and the postponement of the next round of Pakistan-owned talks were followed by what was obviously Pak-inspired terrorism in Kabul. The Haqqani group unleashed a string of attacks in early August and President Ghani's ten-month old peace overture to Pakistan died a quick death as he angrily accused Pakistan of fomenting terror.
It is difficult to accept that the Americans were blissfully ignorant about Mullah Omar's death unless there was a failure of both intelligence and imagination. This was a failure to imagine that, having once hidden the truth from them about Osama bin Laden, Pakistan would repeat this subterfuge. It was a failure to accept that Pakistan would not change its policy on Afghanistan (or any other delinquency) and invite only some gentle rebukes. This reflects a consistent American unwillingness to distinguish between friend and foe.

At DAG, each artist we represent is with us because we feel that they have a special skill or create a specific model or product that is superior to all others in its class. With Mario, it is his vintage reproductions of the Strat styles of the '50s and '60s that we feel have that extra mojo worthy of attention. We also place great value in his ultralight T-style guitars which although not being vintage correct in regard to construction, produce tones that most musicians would spend a lifetime as well as a fortune in money trying to secure. Mario is a master luthier with a set of golden ears and regardless of whether it's his S or T style or his T-Master or Serpentine, you can be assured that you are purchasing a masterfully built, magnificent sounding instrument that plays with the greatest of ease.
- Model: T-Style- Body: paulownia- Neck: quartersawn AAAA maple- Nut material: bone- Nut width: 1.650"- Fret size: 6105- Fingerboard radius: 9.50"- Neck shape: chunky 'C' (.860" @ 1st fret / .930" @ 12th fret)- Top/side dots: black- Strings: D'Addario NYXL .010-.046- Tuners: staggered Gotoh Kluson style- Pickguard: gold anodized aluminum

Comments received on Mario T Style guitars"My Mario Tele style is the shit! I have played Fender CS, GVCG, Danocaster, you name it – and the Mario tele beats them all in sound, weight, and looks. Keep up the great work!!" - Jeffrey T."Your relic T styles are to die for! So what is your technique for getting the stress cracks in your finish? Very nicely done and extremely believable. Probably the best I've seen. Oh and the nicks are artwork" - Brent G."For Teles there is no one you guys compete with. Awesome! The best! It is unbelievable how you guys finish a guitar!!!!!!!" - Kenneth C."I gotta know...how did you simulate the temperature checking? All the other builders guitars look like they used a compressed air spray can, and the checking is all uneven 'spider webbing."' Mario, your finish checking looks REAL!!!" - Mark D."All other Tele builders need to take lessons from you Mario!" - Jordan D."Played one of your Teles today at a guitar center - all I can say is AMAZING!

You Can Inspire.
"Strength does not come from physical ability. It comes from an indomitable will." ~ Mahatma Gandhi.
We've all heard the stories, watched the movies, read the books, and been inspired by them. We stand in awe of the men, and women, who overcome tremendous adversity in life. The stories of those brave souls who strive and beat the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune are invaluable to us. They teach us more than anything else can. ~ They teach us that we can also overcome adversity. If we apply the full force of our indomitable will ~ We can overcome anything life throws at us.
A child, Ludwig Van Beethoven, who was beaten unmercifully by his father, would lose his hearing and yet, in his deafness, become the greatest music composer of all time. An inspiring genius.
A King who could barely speak. Every stammering word of his was ridiculed in public. Yet his indomitable will, his honor, and sense of duty overcame it all to rally a nation over the radio during time of war.
A man, Nick Vujicic, born with no arms or legs challenges us to be positive and smile through life. Throughout history, and to this day, the power of the human will inspires us all to incredible achievements.
The human will is the most powerful force on earth.

|The Skin Shop BB Magic Bright BB Cream with reinforced benefits on Anti-Wrinkle, UV Protecting with SPF 30 PA ++, and Whitening! ^_^
Description: BB Cream with multi-funtional nutritive benefits for clearer, and brighter skin.
|The Skin Shop Magic Bright BB Cream comes in 40g size and solid cylindrical packaging.
|Back part has no english instructions but the box has.
|Glitzy top and bottom packaging. I *heart* the pump spout. ;-D
|Hygienic pump spout with cover.
|Me! Plain Jane, and All dolled up! ;-D
|Provides light to medium coverage with sheer finish. Notice how my moles slightly became less prominent.
|You don't really need much. I learned it from my first few tries. Its consistency is almost like a liquid foundation (reminded me of Kanebo), so it's easier to blend and to spread.
Apply all over face, after morning skin care routine succeeding the moisturizer. Luckily, my face is still enjoying a luxurious escargot diet (^_*) also from The Skin Shop. Seriously, I'm using their Recovery Solution Cream . Option to apply using the fingertips or brush. I pumped just as little product on my hand. Although, you can also do it on a mixing palette or a petri dish, if you want to be particular about it. Remember, that although it needs to cover up blemishes, discolorations, acne marks, etc., the BB Cream needs to blend with your natural skin color :-D
|True to its product name, Magic Bright, the coverage is indeed bright. First time I applied it, I was like, isn't too fair for my skin tone? Thankfully, it blended just fine. ^_^
|I'm all done with my BB Cream. Photo taken without flash. Notice that it didn't entirely cover my discolorations.
- Lightweight/Non-greasy, surprisingly, even it appears to be a bit shiny, but I think that's the main idea of the product to give off a healthy glow.
- I prefer the consistency, with it almost being liquid, for easier blending, for economical perusal, and better for the skin, the less, the better.
- The finish, if used together with other fixers like the powder pact or a makeup setting mist, would actually be almost poreless.
- The pump and spout provide more hygienic application. And this pump is actually easier to regulate, so you know how little or hard to press for your desired quantity.
- It's lightly scented but would actually be unscented on your face.
- It has a good lasting and sebum control effect. I don't really turn the a/c on during the day, and I do a bit of trips outdoor when I drop and pick up my son from school, but it lasted me the whole day, with only minor touch ups needed when I took photos for another post like last time.
- Superficial, I love the artwork of the packaging, and the added chrome-like finish on the pump (top side) and on the bottom. It's in line with it's Magic Bright theme and claim.
- Better SPF offering.
- Best of all, no breakouts! Yay! ;-D
- The packaging is a bit bulky, with it being solid form, unlike if it's a tube.
- Not sold locally, only available online.
- It comes only in one shade. It's a bit on the fair to uber fair side, I'm just thankful that it blended with mine, and I was able to pull off the look. But when I first used it, I had to do a second take, if I'm not really white ladyish. I had to ask my friend if I look okay. She said yes. :-D
- I have a noticeable discolorations on my right cheeks, they're still pretty noticeable given the coverage is only light to medium.
- Price - it's a bit pricey for $24 about Php 1000 plus, considering that this is still a new brand. This seemed to be true, if you compare it with the more popular Korean brand players in the country. And even if you buy online (Ebay or Multiply) for other Korean brands, most would be priced at most Php 1000. Although, it seemed to propose a more premium branding, hence for the pricing strategy. And for my overall experience with the brand, I wouldn't really mind paying for that. Remember that I got my first BB Cream in the store for way more than that.
- Anti-wrinkle - luckily I don't really have any significant problem areas, and I didn't really use it that long to realize the total effect.
- Whitening - I'm on the fair side, and I don't really stay out, so if i get any fairer, I wouldn't really notice, and friends couldn't really tell the difference.
|Me! Taken with flash. Complete makeup and all! ;-D
|I was also wearing The Skin Shop Magic Bright BB Cream. Photo taken without flash. ;-D

Agriculture, forestry and fisheries contribute nearly half (45%) of GDP (of mainland Tanzania in 2007), with a coastline stretching over 1,424 km, a water area of 276, 920 km2 and access to three large lakes. Tanzania also has fairly extensive fishery resources and the fisheries and aquaculture industries are crucial to ensuring food security in the country, providing 27% of protein, as well as being a source of export goods. In 2006, 73% of the workforce was employed in the agriculture and fisheries sector.
Fishery products are exported to regional markets such as the Congo, South Africa and the Sudan. In 2007, exports of Nile perch, mainly to the EU market, were worth over US$150 million.
The fisheries can be separated into the marine industrial and artisanal sub-sectors, as well as the inland freshwater and aquaculture sub-sectors. The industrial sub-sector operates both within the territorial waters and beyond in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The catch profile for the marine industrial sector beyond the EEZ is mostly shellfish (shrimps and lobsters), cephalopods and crabs, while within the EEZ the catch profile is mainly tuna, marlin, sword fish and sharks.
Freshwater fishing, all of which is artisanal, has a catch profile mainly consisting of scombrides, snappers, Nile perch and mackerel from Lake Victoria and sardines, Nile tilapia, dagaa and pelagic sardines from the other large lakes, Tanganyika and Nyasa. Small lakes such as Rukwa, Babati and Manyara also contribute significantly to overall national fisheries. A 2006 survey found that there were approximately 39,881 freshwater fishing vessels including boats and canoes.
Aquaculture is a growing sector with much potential for investment. Shrimps, seaweed and tilapia are the most commonly farmed marine produce. Freshwater fish farming is also a growing sector employing around 14,000 people (2013). An estimated 3000 people are involved in seaweed farming which, in the early 2000s, was becoming one of the most popular cash crops in the islands of Tanga and Zanzibar.
In order to manage a growing demand for fish, the government's approach to sustainability in the industry is to encourage aquaculture, reducing the strain on existing stocks. In addition, some NGO projects are in place to encourage ecological and sustainable fishing methods. The overall goal of the national fisheries is to promote conservation, development and sustainable management of the fisheries for the benefit of the present and future generations.
The Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries Development is the government body responsible for the promotion and development of the fisheries industry in Tanzania along with the Fisheries Sector of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism. The national fisheries are regulated under the Fisheries Policy (1997), the Fisheries Act (2003) and the Fisheries Regulations (2004).
Private sector bodies are involved in the promotion and implementation of sustainability programmes and have been identified as a potential source of investment in the industry.
The Tanzania Fisheries Research Institute (TAFRI) is a research centre established by the government in 1980 to complement the development work of the Ministry.
As much of Tanzania's fisheries industry is dominated by small, artisanal fishing, the largest companies are those involved in fish processing. Examples of such companies include Tanzania Fish Processors Ltd and Tanzania Fisheries Development Co. Ltd.

Sugar by Kimberly Stuart
Sugar is sexless and the best part about it that it focuses on career, relationships, and a drive to reach at the top that most of the millennial are after. It does focus on fame, recognition, and the sacrifices Charlie actually makes to get what she wants. However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't see Charlie as a greedy, attention-grabbing protagonist. I saw a realistic portrayed of career-oriented women today and didn't think there was anything wrong in the way she was focused on her career.
Sugar is also a story about how people around us get affected because we're so focused on our way to the top that we sometimes neglect or take our loved ones for granted. This novel is also about how sometimes we get drafted into unfavourable situations. Through Charlie, I could see myself (when I was focussed on a high-paying career), the consequences and the price you have to pay.
Charlie is a super-strong female protagonist who I'll remember forever. She portrays all of us. I loved how Kimberly Stuart didn't make her a damsel in distress, waiting eagerly for a man to come and save her. On the other hand, she finds Kai, who not only supports her through her tedious schedule, but is also not offended or rattled by her success.
Do such men really exist? They do. My husband is one of them and it was so amazing to watch Charlie and Kai figure it out in the end. Other characters in the book like Manda, Jack and their kids, Avery, Margot and the others were equally engaging and not just fillers to the plot. They had a purpose. I know a few women like Margot, so I totally know they exist.
Final touchdown on Kimberly's writing. IT IS SENSATIONAL. Her storytelling is beyond imagination and her attention to details is engaging and doesn't bore you to death. If I'm prophesying, this could be one of those books that the upcoming generations might study in their curriculum maybe a hundred years from now like we've studied Austen to know what life and society was like in those days. Sugar is definitely a feminist novel.
I'm. A. New. Fan. Will definitely look forward to reading more of her works.

As soon as I saw the announcement for the Laneway Dress, I knew: At last, here is the perfect excuse to buy that bloodsplatter fabric I've been dying to get!
The black fabric is a cozy cotton flannel, and the skirt is underlined in a delightful red antistatic lining to keep it from sticking to tights.
I did my usual grading to a larger size for the hips, but otherwise didn't make any changes to the pattern! The open darts in front are nice and low (usually I have to lower the bustline) and the waist is high, which I prefer. I could've cinched it a bit tighter in the side seams, but right now it's really comfy without looking oversized.
(Yes, I already owned these tights. Obviously I had to pose in them.)
Generally I prefer a fuller skirt, so if I make this again I might substitute a circle skirt. But I really like the fit overall, the nice V in the center back neckline, and of course…
the pockets!!
I think this would be an easy pattern to dress up for cocktails or the office, or dress down for a casual sundress. Or, uh, just to finally have an excuse to use some novelty print…. 😉
Now I still have 3/4 of a yard of this bloodsplatter fabric–what should I do with it?

The Canada Post shipping tool for the Canadian Library Materials Service administered by CULC/CBUC
Customers using the Library Books Shipping Tools version of Electronic Shipping Tools (EST) may use postage stamps (preaffixed, or affixed at a post office upon payment of the postage amount indicated on the shipping label).
If you usually pay for your Library Books shipments with postage stamps at a post office, you may want to purchase the postage stamps in advance, and affix them to the item prior to going to the post office. Simply affix the postage (amount is indicated on label) on the shipping label in the space "Place Postage Stamps Here". This will save time at the post office when you're ready to ship.
The benefit of depositing your shipment directly at the post office is that a receipt scan is made by Canada Post immediately and the shipment is in the system for tracking. If it is dropped into a Street Letter box it could take 24 hours before the box is emptied. Also parcels handed in at a the post office are sorted and shipped more directly than parcels picked up in a box (they would go to a central sorting facility before being separated out as parcels).

Sunday 29 July, 2018: More than 50 library leaders from Australia and the Asia-Pacific gathered at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre today for the ALIA Asia-Pacific Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Summit. Nearly a third of the audience came from overseas, from as far away as Fiji, India, Indonesia, NZ, PNG, Samoa, Sri Lanka and Timor-Leste. For many, their attendance was made possible by grants from the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA).
The full day meeting involved eight presentations and two workshops. It resulted in the development of a shared understanding of what lies ahead for libraries, and a list of 34 actions ranging from including a Sustainable Development Goal in one's email signature block through to signage for university buildings referencing the SDGs most relevant to the faculty.
Keynote speaker Christopher Woodthorpe, Director of the United Nations Information Centre for the region, inspired delegates with his sweeping overview of the SDGs, while making the point that 65% of SDG delivery relies on local initiatives. Pamela McGowan, Team Leader, Townsville Libraries, and Nina Nakaora, Library Assistant, Suva City Carnegie Library, shared the outcomes of the INELi Oceania Pacific Library Summit, held in Fiji in May 2018, while Opeta Alefaio, Director of the National Archives of Fiji, and Paula Eskett, President of LIANZA, outlined the challenges and opportunities of the SDGs for libraries in their jurisdictions. ALIA CEO Sue McKerracher talked about the Association's report Australian libraries support the Sustainable Development Goals and libraries' inclusion in the Australian Government's Voluntary National Review.
ALIA immediate past-President, CEO and State Librarian of Queensland Vicki McDonald topped and tailed the day with an energetic welcome at the start and an insight into the international advocacy taking place through IFLA at the end of the day. IFLA President-elect Christine Mackenzie gave her perspective on how the SDGs fitted with IFLA's strategic priorities, including the IFLA Map of the World and IFLA Global Vision. She also previewed her presidential theme 'Let's work together'.
Feedback from delegates confirmed the success of the event, which kicked off the Asia-Pacific Library and Information Conference, taking place at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre from 30 July to 2 August.

The Stamina To Deal With Each Day
Men need a lot of help in order to be up to the challenge of dealing with PPD. PPD is a real problem, so while you are learning how to deal with it, take the time to learn how to be a strong woman. You can mostly learn anything or learn enough to do work that will earn you money to learn the more advanced skills you'd like to gain. You find out where to go to make the money, and what to do once you get there. Many women feel closest to their OB and choose to talk to them. Talk to your provider to make sure what you're taking is best for you and your baby.
Women With Moderate To Severe Postpartum Depression
More than half of women have temporary mild symptoms of depression mixed with feelings of happiness after having a baby. When a new mother has severe depression, the vital mother-child relationship may become strained. For a few months after having a baby, a mother has a higher chance of getting mental disorders, including depression. PPD may come on quickly but more often postpartum depression symptoms build over the first few months after delivery. The women walking their babies around the block three days postpartum are closer to twenty than to forty. In one or two cases per thousand, the mother actually develops postpartum psychosis.
Restrictions Related To Your Work Injury
Many cases are settled after the injured worker has completed medical care and treatment and returned to work. Step four is calculating the percentage of average weekly wage the injured worker is entitled to. When an injured worker makes a claim for disability, the first step is temporary disability and corresponding medical treatment. The larger the proportion of costly exams, obviously, the higher the average cost of the claim. Step three is a hearing to determine the final percentage of injury. Unless your injury was very mild and temporary, a release to work with no restrictions can create many problems for you.
Anaphylaxis Due To Hair Dye
The key to doing a good test is to leave the product uncovered. There is a wide spectrum of impairment associated with the Pervasive Developmental Disorders, which can range from mild to severe. Even if you were willing to go through the trouble, the two operating systems wouldn't play nicely together. Naturtint and Herbatint are the most popular brands of more natural, but still chemical, dyes. The product will not allow you to go lighter than two levels of color. Although extremely rare you can be allergic to pure henna.
The Treatment Of Choice For PPD
Early detection and treatment are key to a full recovery. Antidepressant medications have been researched and found to be safe during breastfeeding. The medications are safe, non-addictive and highly effective in treating the symptoms of PPD. Although individual supportive psychotherapy is the treatment of choice for PPD, medications are sometimes used to treat related symptoms. When treatment is sought, psychotherapy is the treatment of choice for PPD. Only your physician can provide relevant diagnosis, prescribe medications and/or put you on adequate therapies.
A Positive Skin Test
There are basically 2 patch testing methods available to test for allergic sensitivity to PPD. A negative reaction means the skin where you received the PPD test is not swollen, or the swelling is very small. The skin test result depends on the size of the raised, hard area or swelling. Once the test is read, students must provide written documentation of their test to the Health Center. The test will determine whether you are currently infected or have been previously exposed to the tuberculosis bacteria. Everybody is exposed to stressful situations, both positive and negative.

Stress management for the troups
Stress management
Everyone undergoes stress or psychological pressure at some point in their lives. Similarly, different people react or respond in diverse ways. To be forearmed is to be fore warned and everyone requires skills and tools to handle stress. Psychological position affects health and an individual's life. Stress or psychological pressure can be acute or chronic.
Short-term stress alternatively known as acute is caused by issues that can be resolved promptly. For instance, queuing for long or forgetting a cell phone at home is a temporary stressful situation. There are intense emotions that dissolve within a short period.
On the other hand, long-term stress also called chronic, is persistent over a long period of time. High pressured mode of living is a factor leading to chronic stress. Sometimes it is prolonged such that people accept it or fail to recognize it. Most people affected are known as type A personalities and are exposed to depression, mental problems and diabetes.
Stress is best managed by pin pointing the root cause and studying reaction patterns and any change in behavior. One can enroll for stress management training or cutting out demanding needs that lead to stress. In addition, having healthy social relationships goes a long way in stress reduction.
Manage your stress by identifying the sources like marital problems needing marriage counseling, recognizing your reactions to the stress and changing your behavior. Taking stress management classes or rescheduling your work and personal lives can be a start to reducing stress. Having a supportive network of friends, family and professionals can also be useful in helping to reduce stress.
Consequently, knowing your stress history enables an individual understand the body, mind and stress responses. Some of the teller signs of stress include pains, increased heart beat, muscular tension and incessant headaches.
Change of response towards stress is an effective method of management. For instance, healthy acceptance of situations and having realistic objectives relieves unwanted pressure. Having a planned but flexible lifestyle can also yield the best results in stress management. Patience is always a good attribute as it helps in dealing with anxiety and pressure.
Moreover, finding involving activities such as work outs, a favorite sport should complement daily lifestyles. These extra activities help release tension and facilitate in relaxation, making one calm and able to recharge or find new energy and as result lead a productive happy life.
Having alone time and shutting down noise is also important. For instance, if one is surrounded by competitive people, spending time alone on a vacation or a few hours each day is helpful. It helps one connect with self and allows one to look inward, which is peaceful. It is usually a step to love self and find personal peace. Time can be spent watching comedy which provokes laughter and as a result tension is loosed. A good marriage counselor can help resolve issues that can cause extreme stress.
Most importantly picking out stressors is important as they all come in cycles. Helplessness is the epitome of chronic stress as one feels burdened and out of control, leading to severe depression. One can find help from therapist, counselors or doctors to offer coping tips.

MIPS tips and MORE: Be in the know
Implementation of Medicare's new Quality Payment Program (QPP) could leave doctors with more questions than answers, but AOA is committed to setting the record straight and helping doctors succeed.
Although Medicare doctors now know their MIPS eligibility, that in and of itself evokes questions. AOA has answers.
Toward the end of April, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) began notifying Medicare physicians of their eligibility for participation under the new Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), one of two CMS QPP tracks launched Jan. 1. This corresponded with an AOA member alert containing additional guidance, as well as a CMS tool that allows doctors to determine MIPS eligibility.
It's now clear that nearly two thirds of all Medicare physicians will be exempt from MIPS requirements, including two thirds of doctors of optometry. Most doctors of optometry (60 percent) are excluded based on the low-volume threshold—Medicare Part B allowed charges less than or equal to $30,000/year, or 100 or fewer Medicare Part B patients—while another 6 percent are excluded as newly enrolled physicians. But that doesn't mean excluded doctors should tune out MIPS altogether.
Frequently, private payers adopt and adapt Medicare policies, and consequently, it's possible that a MIPS-style program could be implemented among private insurance. Furthermore, CMS intends to release proposed rules for the 2018 MIPS program in the coming weeks that may extend the flexibility already employed by MIPS participants, or alter future requirements. All of which means it's important for Medicare physicians to stay up to date with the latest information.
To equip doctors, AOA has developed resources for MIPS participants, including:
- Webinars that provide more detail on MIPS requirements, and how non-EHR users can participate
- Information on how AOA MORE (Measures and Outcomes Registry for Eyecare) will support MIPS requirements
- FAQs on QPP, and MIPS group reporting requirements
Although Medicare doctors now know their MIPS eligibility, that in and of itself evokes questions. Therefore, AOA offers an upcoming webinar that will provide a MIPS overview and the opportunity to ask practice-specific questions of AOA's Quality Improvement and Registries Committee Chair Zachary McCarty, O.D., and Immediate Past Chair Jeff Michaels, O.D.

MIPS eligible? What to know
Participating physicians will be familiar with certain aspects of MIPS as components of the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS), Value-based Modifier (VBM) and Medicare EHR Incentive Program (meaningful use) made their way into this new QPP that's still focused on quality, resource use and continued certified EHR (CEHRT) use. These new performance categories are titled Quality (PQRS), Clinical Practice Improvement, Advancing Care Information (meaningful use) and Resource Use/Cost (VBM).
Here's how it works—MIPS is scored on a scale of 0-100, based on how well physicians perform in each category. Each of these categories is weighted differently, and CMS will adjust from year to year. A MIPS final score above the CMS Threshold Performance Score (TPS) will earn physicians a payment increase, and a decrease if below. Up to 4 percent of 2019 Medicare payments are earned/penalized by 2017 participation.
For 2017, the performance categories scores are:
- Quality (60 percent of overall MIPS score)
Physicians need to report 6 quality measures; one of which must be a High Priority Measure or Outcomes Measure. Click here for more.
- CPIA (15 percent of overall MIPS score)
Designed to demonstrate physicians' role in public health initiatives, activities are weighted medium and high, and worth different scores based on practice size, location and patient population. Registry reporting is heavily emphasized and can help physicians attest. Click here for more.
- ACI (25 percent of overall MIPS score)
This category is determined by three scores that determine physicians' use of CEHRT. Physicians must perform each of four objectives to achieve a base score—perform a Security Risk Analysis, e-prescribe, provide a patient portal, and demonstrate health information exchange—and a performance score is generated by how often and successfully the measure is performed. A bonus score is achieved by reporting to a registry, such as AOA MORE. Click here for more.
- Resource use/cost (0 percent in 2017)
Cost will eventually count toward 30 percent of physician's total score, decreasing quality to 30 percent by 2022; however, in 2017, nothing is required from physicians in this category.
For 2017, physicians have several ways to participate in MIPS' first year, and AOA MORE can be a useful tool in meeting program requirements. Click here to enroll now.

Happy International Museum Day!
This year, the theme of ICOM's International Museum Day is Museums and Cultural Landscapes. Here is how the International Council of Museums describe this theme:
The theme Museums and Cultural Landscapes makes museums responsible for their landscapes, asking them to contribute knowledge and expertise and take an active role in their management and upkeep. The primary mission of museums is to oversee heritage, whether it be inside or outside their walls. Their natural vocation is to expand their mission and implement their own activities in the open field of cultural landscape and heritage that surrounds them and for which they can assume varying degrees of responsibility. Highlighting the link between museums and cultural heritage enhances the idea of museums as territorial centres involved in actively protecting the cultural landscape.

On April 4, 2012, President Obama signed the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act or STOCK Act, which amended the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 (5 U.S.C. App. § 101 et seq.) Section 6 of the STOCK Act added subsection 103(l) to the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, 5 U.S.C. app. 4, § 101 et seq. (EIGA). Effective July 3, 2012, subsection 103(l) of EIGA requires that not later than 30 days after receiving notification of any transaction required to be reported under subsection 102(a)(5)(B) of EIGA, but in no case later than 45 days after such a transaction, a covered employee must file a report of the transaction.

Nayantara Sahgal (L) and Ashok Vajpeyi: Both returned their Sahitya Akademi awards
The autumn of 1975 was a turbulent one. It was the autumn when Emergency was imposed. Having resigned from the office of Additional Solicitor General of India in protest against its imposition, the celebrated jurist Fali S Nariman would spend his quiet evenings at Delhi's Nehru Park. Occasionally, he would be joined in his evening walks by the then High Commissioner of Australia Mr Bruce Grant.
In his autobiography Before Memory Fades, Nariman recalls one such walk and documents what the High Commissioner told him of his encounter with Indira Gandhi:
"Indira Gandhi had expressed shock and surprise at the total lack of resistance among people to the Emergency. She particularly mentioned... that she was more amazed at the lack of reaction among the intelligentsia!"
Nariman later writes in his autobiography:
"When times are bad, this category -- the intelligentsia --is the most despicable in all countries. It is the intelligentsia that has both the capacity and inclination to rationalise the tyranny."
These words of Nariman merit consideration, and the wisdom of the past always serves as the lesson for the present and the future.
I am neither being alarmist nor presumptuous enough to imply that we are headed to times as hard and as detestable as the imposition of Emergency. However, I am sensible enough not to dismiss as a careless trifle the voice of the intelligentsia, especially when it breaks the academic inertia and intellectual lethargy that Nariman is alluding to.
A debate has ensued since a series of decorated academics and members of the intelligentsia returned their awards in protest against the establishment for seemingly condoning acts of intolerance.
The issue is politically charged. However, its ramifications extend beyond the arena of partisan politics and into the wider realm of sociology and political philosophy of the country.
Therefore, steering safe of the partisan debates, we must dwell upon several wider aspects of the debate.
Certain political commentators and politicians like Shashi Tharoor, while upholding the spirit of protest, have criticised the method of protest. These detractors hold that returning a literary or an academic decoration serves the intended purpose less than it communicates contempt and a dishonour of the award.
Such arguments may have logical merit but may not carry much substance especially in view of the tremendous gravity of the situation. The act of returning an award is not simply an issue of honour or dishonour of that award. The act is a bold statement that the intelligentsia, having sensed the pulse of the times, has dared to make. The grammar of the statement may be questioned but neither its gravity nor its substance can be dismissed or diminished in any way.
A second criticism is rather more serious. The Hon'ble Finance Minister, in a Facebook post described the movement as "manufactured revolt" and dismissed the protestors as politically motivated and ideologically biased.

While it cannot be denied that a few of these academics have shown a particular ideological bent in the past, this can in no way be used to assert that their standpoint is illegitimate or their collective statement lacking in merit.
After all, it is the intelligentsia which has been the conscience-keeper of all social and political ideologies. All great ideologies that shaped the world and sculptured history were once incubated in the warmth of university campuses and nurtured by the hands of academics.
If the flawed logic of the Finance Minister's arguments is accepted, it would mean that no ideological protest can ever be held legitimate. One could use grounds similar to Jaitley's to dismiss the ideological reaction against Hitler's anti-Semitism as "ideologically motivated" or "politically manufactured". One could on similar grounds have rejected the ideological upsurge against the tyranny of Mao Zedong or choked the voices of perestroika (reform) and glasnost (openness) under the communist dictatorship of the USSR.
The Hon'ble Finance Minister's argument is found wanting on two counts. First, the very premise that the voices of academics are politically motivated, and not the voices of their conscience, is politically biased. Second, even if there is a political aspect to the statement that the intelligentsia is attempting to make by returning decorations, it in no way delegitimises or blemishes their standpoint or weakens the strength of their arguments.
Jurist Nariman was absolutely right in saying that the intelligentsia is despicable when it displays "both the capacity and the inclination to rationalise tyranny." However, his postulation was incomplete, for he forgot to add that it is only the intelligentsia that also wields the capacity and inclination to resist tyranny.
It is the intelligentsia which, like in any other country or society, is the conscience-keeper of the very idea of India and the sanctuary of the fundamental philosophy of the nation.

If you've been on the search for Gluten-free breakfast options, these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Mini Donuts will be a true treat for your taste buds!
Gluten Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Donuts
We all have those days, right? Those mornings where we wake up, and just can't quite put a finger on what it is we are wanting to eat…Do we want pancakes? Maybe… Donuts? Possibly… Muffins? Tempting… but in all reality, if you're gonna be 100% honest with yourself, you want them all!
If calories weren't an issue, I wouldn't judge you at all but starting your day with a mini version of all three combined in one nice neat little mini donut actually sounds just about perfect! These gluten-free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Donuts are a petite sized cross between a muffin and donut. With an option like this, you don't have to worry about narrowing it down anymore!
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Mini Donuts – Just in time for Fall
I would be lying if I said I wasn't crazy of the Fall flavor of pumpkin. I know, I know…it's one of those love/hate things for so many people. But for me? The flavor and taste of pumpkin make me think of bonfires, cool fall evenings, football and gearing up for some good food to get my belly full for a great night's sleep.
I seriously can't get enough of the pumpkin flavor. The good news? The pumpkin flavor in these donuts is paired perfectly with chocolate chips. Pumpkin and chocolate, together? Yes, my friend. Yes.
My children often ask if these HAVE to be served for breakfast, and my answer is simple:
"Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Mini Donuts were created to eat at any time during the day or night."
And I believe that 100%. My kiddos are actually super happy about it as well. Having a mom that lets you eat mini donuts for breakfast, lunch or dinner is a dream come true, right?
Not only is the pumpkin flavor out of this world but these soft muffin donuts will be a hit with everybody at your house! They literally almost melt in your mouth. I love to enjoy mine with a cup of coffee and the flavors pair perfectly.
No matter how you like to eat them, make sure you grab one or two because they will go fast!
What to Use to Make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Mini Donuts
Everyone always asks me what I use to make these adorable treats. While I wish I had the skill set of making those donuts perfectly round by hand, I'll let you in on a little secret…
We used a mini donut pan that we scored from amazon. (affiliate ad link) See how much easier that makes things? With the use of the donut pan, each and every chocolate chip donut turned out uniform and looked beautiful!
When searching online for the perfect donut pan, there are so many choices and any of them are good. I found one that can cook this entire batter in one baking!
For me, I like to use my time efficiently so it was a huge bonus that I could use the donut pans to make uniform and neat donuts in a jiffy!
Would I turn away a donut that was shaped differently than the others? Absolutely not, but I must admit that they do look prettier when they're all shaped the same!
Helpful Tips for Cooking Gluten-free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Mini Donuts
Sometimes, recipes are cooked and there's a ton of trial and errors. Luckily for you, I've made this recipe enough to know a few tricks of the trade that I'll happily pass along to you!
- No matter what, don't forget to spray your donut pan before adding your pumpkin donut batter! Trust me…they'll stick no matter what if you don't. And no one wants to eat donut crumbles for breakfast. Donut holes? Maybe. Donut crumbles? No.
- Don't just set your timer and walk away. For whatever reason, these donuts like to cook quickly! Set your timer but stay close and check on them every couple of minutes.
- Once the mini donuts are cooked, let them cool completely before serving. Everyone is always so hungry to bite into one that we all seem to forget just how hot those cooked chocolate chips are. If you're not careful, that chocolate can really burn your mouth!
And my biggest tip of all? Doube (maybe even triple) the recipe. Trust me. They'll go fast because they are mini and delicious. Plus, even if they don't all get eaten, you can always freeze the extras for later!
I actually like to make a few extra for that reason alone. I freeze them in bags of 2 or 4, and then when we are going to be traveling on the road for sports or other activities, I'll just pull a couple of bags out of the freezer and pack for our trip. By the time anyone gets hungry, they're thawed out and perfect to eat!
While these mini donuts are great on their own, what would you pair them with for a balanced breakfast meal?
