TEMA values volunteerism and is proud to have a diverse volunteer base all over Turkey. As of February 2012, TEMA has 440.000 supporters and 555 voluntary representatives supporting TEMA in reaching its objectives. The main responsibility of the voluntary representatives is to conduct educational activities, recruit more volunteers and keep the channels of communication open to all who are interested in TEMA's mission in their region. This offers TEMA the opportunity to define Turkey's problems with firsthand knowledge and to address them on regional basis.
In order to transfer environmental values to future generations and hinder potential environmental damages by creating environmentally aware individuals, TEMA has established several different volunteer teams of people from different age groups. %80 of TEMA volunteers are under the age of 25 who help carry TEMA to new directions through their innovative thinking.
TEMA Kids, also known as TEMA's Early Childhood Program works for giving pre-school children of ages 5-7 environmental consciousness on soil, erosion and sustainable living. The Small Hands to Soil Project, a nationwide project is implemented with pre-school children and teachers. As the first large scale environmental program for preschool children in Turkey, TEMA Kids have so far 20.000 members.
TEMA Junior has started as a pilot project in 1996 in 11 primary schools. Now, this organization is active in more than 1000 primary schools in 55 cities. TEMA Junior's approximately 20.000 members organize various events and workshops on environmental issues. They contribute to the success of our achievements and give us a different, pure approach that can only come from children.
TEMA Young Organization is established in 1997 among university and high school students. Now, this group of nearly 5.000 members is active in 56 universities in Turkey and Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and in 60 high schools.
Volunteer Activities
Another way to establish more interest on public TEMA Foundation organized voluntary registration. Volunteers perform a variety of TEMA activities across the country and provide support to these activities. Meetings are held at different periods with volunteers and information's has been given on activities and events.
From 01.010.2010 new TEMA volunteers get next to their volunteer card a leaf form lapel as a gift. Foundation's volunteers reached 451,186 in July 2012

I coach for the same reasons I write: the love of words, storytelling, and helping others.
I want the world to be able to write their story, and coaching lets me get to help some of them to do that. No matter the genre, or length of your work, I can help bring out the story you were meant to tell. Here's a link to a client's blog post where she talks about her beginning and edited versions of work we did together.
She shows a bit of her opening scene in first draft version as well as our edited draft.
We worked on the basic skills she needed in sentence structure, in-scene writing, and descriptions. And I also prompted with questions about her story's intentions that worked to bring out what she meant but had yet to show within her first draft – all that hadn't yet come onto the page. You can see the change in her storytelling from draft to draft.
Comments on my style of coaching:
"E.J. has done much more than prove to me that writing is a mosaic skill, worthy of a myriad of effort, but also that it is a sharp-bladed pillow from which we all draw a precise dream."
~ V. Pittsenbargar
"E.J.'s done exactly what I wanted and been searching for. Help about story telling and the English language. Not just in punctuation, or grammar. But about the craft. I wanted to get my readers more engaged in my story. In swoops E.J to save the day."
~ D. Chapman
"I'm glad I found E.J., she's a wonderful coach. It's like being a kid getting on a bike for the first time, and realizing what the pedals do. The revisions I'm doing now are helping me tell the story that I want to tell."
~ C. Murphy
"E.J.'s a pot of gold! Working on the same MS can be a weary undertaking and she's breathed new life into me. In just that short time we spent I learnt so much. Anyone who is serious about writing, consider E.J."
~ T. McWilliams
Comments on my own fiction and plays:
So evocative...your writing is so...can I find the words? It's easy and gentle, and yet the cut it leaves stings after the words have gone. You have a gift for images as well as words.
~ C.J. Wright, DramaWorks Studio Theatre
A lot to praise here, I love your voice, it's just spot on. Over and over you have lines that just make me think, "Ooh."
~ Catherine Ryan Hyde, author- Pay it Forward.

I used to hate dill when it was available fresh but now I like it but finding it in market has become so difficult. This is one of the easier ways of enjoying dill. The dill dip looks so yum..
5 min 4 Ingredients Greek Yogurt Dill Dip
Dill or Shepu as called in Marathi(Indian language) is a herb. Fresh and dried dill leaves are widely used as herbs in Europe and Central Asia. They are used as a toppings in soups, mixed with curd, sour cream or as a topping for boiled potatoes covered with butter. One can even prepare dill butter by mixing butter with Dill. Dill oil is extracted from the leaves, stems and seeds of the plant. The oil from the seeds is distilled and used in manufacturing of soaps. Dill has many benefits like it promotes digestion, prevents Insomnia , reduce menstrual cramps, reduce depression.
In India dill is prepared as a bhaji (vegetable) and is traditionally given to mothers immediately after childbirth. It is also used as a mukhwas or an after meal digestive. To be true I never liked Dill as it has a strong flavor. I wanted to try this yogurt Dill dip since long but was very apprehensive of the taste. So I finally decided to give this a try in my 3 day Blogging Marathon series on Pick one protein Rich Ingredient, where I opted for Greek Yogurt. I have listed benefits of Greek Yogurt in my earlier post on 5 min Healthy Greek Yogurt Breakfast Bowls.
Since Greek Yogurt has a dense, slippy but soft texture, it makes it easy to be a substitute for whipped cream or even butter at times. Hence I decided to make a dip with this which I can enjoy as a spread or just with salads. With this dip I was really not sure how will lemon juice and Greek Yogurt work as I never added lemon in yogurt. The recipes I read called for some chopped lemon, but I used zest of lemon (The outer covering only the yellow part) which is more strong. But I gave it a go. On your first bite you will feel the kick of the lemon and the Dill, if not used to Dill, but later on you will like it. I truly enjoyed it with salads and my Mix Lentils and Beans Pancake. Even my husband was doubtful in the start, he told me I don't want when he asked the ingredients list, as to Dill, and in addition yogurt with lemon, a clear no. I offered him to taste a bit and then it was all finished :-). This works as a good spread and an alternative to butter or cheese spread and healthy.
So here goes the recipe
- 1 Cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped Dill leaves
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- Black pepper to taste (I used around 1/4 teaspoon)
- Wash and chop the Dill leaves.
- Add the freshly grated zest of lemon and the lemon juice. (For the zest only take the yellow rind. Do not take the white or it will go bitter)
- Add pepper and give it a nice mix. You are done.
- Eat it with salads or as a spread on pancakes or breads.

Wow, quite an interesting dip though i dont cook often with dill leaves. Dip looks ultimate and very creamy.
This is quite a creamy dip Renu, I am sure it tastes great with any side dish!
Thats perfect for this hot season. I love creamy yogurt dips.
Love the yogurt dill dip, I make it often and use it as a dressing for salads too. Add it to a potato salad and it tastes heavenly. I love dill, including the bhaji which I make with moong dal.
Dill cooked as a vegetable side can have a strong taste but it works so well in small quantities in dips. Your bowl looks very creamy and delicious.
dill adds a nice flavor to dips but i use it sparingly as I have not totally adapted the flavor yet. Lovely dip with Greek yogurt
what a quick and easy dip for any time
This is very similar to Middle eastern tzatziki. I love dill with Greek yogurt. Your dip looks absolutely so delicious.
Looks yummy I never enjoyed dil or shepu but will like it hopefully in small quantities.
For once I thought it was tzatziki sauce. Such refreshing and tasty dip.
I love a good dill dip and this looks fantastic!
What a yummy summer dip, and I love how simple and easy it is to make!
This recipe is just in time for summer. This will be a good dip for veggie platter at my next bbq.
This sounds so perfect for summer. I could use this dip for my next veggie platter.
Oh man, I can already tell this is going to be DELICIOUS!! Some of my favorite flavors goin' on there… perhaps just a drizzle of good olive oil for total perfection!
Is this like Tzakiki? Because I love that stuff and it costs so much at Costco!

Nike Reveals the 'Pro Hijab' for Muslim Athletes
Guest posted a topic in Nike's TopicsNike, a company whose brand is estimated to be worth $27 billion, understands the difference apparel can make to an athlete. And like any viable business, it knows the world is full of potential customers. And so in its latest market expansion, the brand has turned to the Middle East, where female athletes have begun to come into their own over the last few years. Nike's new pull-on hijab is made of light, stretchy fabric that includes tiny holes for breathability and an elongated back so it will not come untucked. CreditAaron Hewitt/Nike This week, Nike announced that it would release a Pro Hijab for female Muslim athletes in spring 2018. The hijab, which is expected to cost $35, is made of a lightweight, stretchy mesh polyester and will come in gray, black and obsidian. Throughout several stages of development, the product was tested by a group that included Zahra Lari, the first figure skater from the United Arab Emirates to compete internationally; Manal Rostom, a runner and triathlete currently living in Dubai; and Amna Al Haddad, an Olympic weight lifter from the United Arab Emirates. The move followed Nike's release of an Arabic version of its Nike & Training Club app early last year and the beginning of a campaign featuring five female athletes from the Arab region with the tagline "What will they say about you?" last month.

This is a good drill for developing game skills in a single drill. It is done on a full court with three teams of four. Here I'll use Red Team, Blue Team, and Black Team. Divide the players up evenly regarding skill and position.
I find that the drill works best if you match up your least skilled post players with your most skilled guards, and vice versa.
The drill is started like a half court game between Black and Blue, Black with possession, Blue on defense, Red down the other end of the court. Black and Blue play until one of three things happens: 1) Black turns the ball over, 2) Blue gets a defensive rebound, or 3) Black makes a basket. If 1 or 2 happens, Blue brings the ball across half court and plays Red like above. Black waits down the other end of the court. If 3 happens (Black scores), Black takes the ball out and brings it back and plays Red in half court. Basically, if the defense gets possession, they bring it across half court; if the offense gets possession, they keep trying to score. Keep track of baskets and see which team can put the longest streak together (ie, stay on offense the longest).
This drill keeps the players busy and hustling throughout.
The team that makes the fewest number of shots runs two suicides, the middle team - half court suicide. The team with the shortest streak runs one suicide, the middle team-- lap around the court. We usually play without fouls,except for fouling when shooting.
One way to start this drill is for you to stand at the free throw line and toss up a shot. Play continues as if you were a Black player in the above scenario. (i.e, if Black gets the rebound, they continue trying to score at that basket. If you score, they bring it across half court. If Blue rebounds it, they bring it across half court).

Public Radio International's popular program This American Life is near perfect in its title. On a weekly basis, host Ira Glass and company explore various sides—often schizophrenic in their true-to-life contradictory nature—of this great nation of ours. Author Sarah Vowell counts herself proud to be among such company as a frequent contributor to the broadcast, and she rode the wave of her resulting notoriety to virtual Hollywood, voicing the broody teenage cartoon superhero Violet of The Incredibles.
But Vowell's real shtick is taking an alternate yet passionate look at American history. In her collections of essays—Take the Cannoli: Stories from the New World, The Partly Cloudy Patriot and Assassination Vacation—Vowell makes subjects as heavy as the Trail of Tears, Gettysburg and a pilgrimage of presidential assassinations somehow more interesting, intriguing and entertaining than they really should be. In fact, one great act of hers is reading an essay about "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" while being accompanied by musicians— such as Death Cab for Cutie—as she chronicles the popular misinterpretation and patriotic reinvigoration of the song as a national battle cry. Such is the amazing hipster cred that This American Life brings Sarah Vowell.
And she's not nearly done. Vowell's latest exploration into all things American historical—The Wordy Shipmates—is another collection of essays true to form in which she explores the Puritans' colonizing of Massachusetts with surprisingly amusing aplomb.

For a list of the other versions, see Headman.
We need visual confirmation
This article is in need of images.
- Headman is a Headhunter character from the A Real American Hero and G.I. Joe vs. Cobra series.
A Real American Hero continuity
Marvel Comics continuityHeadman's drug peddling forces come into conflict with the Joes' "Drug Enforcement Force", which includes Bullet-Proof, Mutt, Junkyard and Shockwave. Headman had brought drugs into the Cobra-controlled town of Broca Beach. He also must deal with a suburban housewife out to kill him. Without realizing the nature of the town they were fighting for, the Joes drove out Headman and his forces. (Shots in the Dark, Triptych, Diptych)
When Headman brings another drug shipment by boat, Cobra Commander has a Techno-Viper take control of G.I. Jane's satellite laser to shoot Headman's boat. The DEF save the Headhunters from drowning and take them to jail, not knowing why Cobra helped them. Headman isn't seen among the surviving Headhunters. (Playing with the Big Boys)
Devil's Due Comics continuityShortly before the disbanding of the G.I. Joe team, five Joes stop the attempted sale of Drug Enforcement Administration info to Headman in Brazil, but both the seller and Headman escape. In the present day, a pre-recorded message of the deceased Mainframe is activated to notify his four teammates when the situation gets "hot" again in Brazil. The small group (plus Firewall in Mainframe's place) go to intercept a new attempt of the same sale outside Sao Paulo, which turns out to be a trap for the Joes, who turn the tables on Headman by setting him up with forces of the Brazilian embassy, as his seller was a traitorous aide of the ambassador. (Special Missions: Brazil)
Headman is listed in G.I. Joe: America's Elite #31 as terminated by Cobra during a raid on The Coffin, where he was held, by Tomax and Cobra. While reviewing the "Prisoners Terminated" list, Storm Shadow explains, "Tomax... was able to eliminate those Cobra considered loose ends" (even though Headman was never portrayed as a member of Cobra).
Animated continuity
DiC animated series
When Duke and a Crimson Guard discovered they both had relatives who were victims of Headman's drug dealing (Duke's brother, Lt. Falcon, and the Siegie's sister), they decided to join forces in order to make Headman fall. Duke and the D.E.F. fought side-to-side with Cobra and, in the final battle, headman tried to kill the Joes and Cobras with a massive drug overdose, but his overdose backfired to him. The dying Headman activated the self-destruction of his base and, even though the D.E.F. and Cobra escaped, Headman died, buried by his own base (the only confirmed death in the animated continuity).
|Generation 1
|A Real American Hero (1992)
Headman was released in the 1992 series of A Real American Hero toys as part of the Drug Elimination Force subseries.
Accessories: short, rectangular gold rifle with small stock, grip, and trigger guard; transparent red spring-loaded missile launcher with attached bipod; gold missile with fins near tip.

SEOUL, Feb. 21 (Aju News) -- The deficit in South Korea's tourism industry soared 112 percent on-year to a record high of 13.75 billion US dollars last year, reflecting a travel ban imposed by China in retaliation for the deployment of an American missile shield, official data showed Wednesday.
In 2017, South Korea's tourism-related income fell 22.5 percent to $13.32 billion in 2017 while South Koreans spent $27.07 billion abroad, up 14.3 percent from a year earlier, according to the state-run Korea Tourism Organization (KTO).
KTO data showed that 13.33 million foreigners visited South Korea last year, down 22.7 percent from a year ago, and the number of South Korean travelers abroad rose 18.4 percent on-year to 26.49 million.
Last year, about 4.16 million Chinese visitors arrived in South Korea, down 48.3 percent from the previous year. Chinse tourists shunned South Korea due to a diplomatic row between Seoul and Beijing over a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system. The two countries agreed to normalize relations under an agreement in October.
The Chinese accounted for 31.3 percent of total foreigners who visited South Korea last year. The number of Japanese tourists rose 0.6 percent to 2.3 million, or 17.3 percent of total foreign visitors. In 2017, South Korea received 925,616 visitors from Taiwan, up 11.1 percent.

The Hack Post is helping to secure the online world. The prevalence of cyber based crime has exploded in the recent years. Cyber espionage, phishing scams and malware are common occurrences and are expected to continue to climb, putting millions at risk. Hacking news can now be accessed by users to help them protect them from falling victim to such crimes.
"Cyber security is huge these days," stated a representative of The Hack Post. "We take it very seriously and make hacking news available to our visitors so they can be aware of the dangers that are lurking online and take appropriate measures against them."
The Hack Post is helping users know about news like the fact that twitter tweets can legally be hacked. The article informed that by using a Python script, hackers can locate links which are shared by Twitter users. The script is then able to check to see if the links are expired and no longer registered. In the event that they are not registered, the hackers are able to register the domain for their own use and redirect it to the website of their choosing.
In another recent article on The Hack Post, it was divulged that the social media accounts of CNN have been hijack by OurMine, a notorious hacking group. The main page of CNN and the CNN Politics account as well as the CNN International account have fallen victim to OurMine's criminal cyber activity too.

Select your topic above or scroll down to find answers to some of our most common questions.
Shirts are available for online purchase in both standard and Made-to-Measure sizes. Our most custom option, Hamilton Bespoke, is available exclusively at our Houston Workshop or a Hamilton Stockist where a specialist will guide you through the process.
For online purchases, please see our Fit Guide for details. We also offer Try-on Shirts for a refundable deposit of $100. Still need help? Call us at 713.264.8800 or email firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll be happy to walk you through the measurement process.
Let us make you a shirt. We guarantee a perfect fit. If you're not 100% happy, we'll alter or replace your first shirt at no charge. Once we perfect your fit, we'll save your updated details for easy re-ordering.
There are a couple reasons why shirt sizes may have slight variations between them. The most common is due to the fact that shirts change size over time with wear and launderings. Typically the fabric becomes softer and may stretch to a larger size.
If your new shirts seem to fit differently than older shirts, the most likely explanation is that they simply need to be "broken in." We encourage you to wash and wear the shirts several times.
If you feel that immediate adjustment is required, we ask that in addition to returning the new shirts you also loan us your best fitting older shirt. This will allow us to measure the older shirt and determine your preferred measurements.
Your corresponding online size depends on the label in your existing shirt. Please click here for details.
Succinctly, the difference is the degree of customization.
Made-to-Measure (MTM) shirts offer an edited selection of our most popular fabrics and styles. For MTM shirts, your Fit is based on collar size, chest size, sleeve length and desired fit (regular or trim). You can customize the Fit and Style on any shirt featured in our Collections section.
By contrast, our Bespoke Shirts feature limitless customization and are available exclusively at our Houston Storefront or a Hamilton Stockist. We begin the process by making a single shirt for your approval. After making any necessary adjustments, we then produce the remainder of your order.
For first time Bespoke purchases, there is a minimum order of five shirts. There is no order minimum on repeat purchases.
Yes. While Hamilton Bespoke is not available for purchase online, all fabrics and styles featured on the website are available at our Houston Storefront or a Hamilton Stockist near you.
If you've already worked with us to create your custom fit, you can simply call us to place your order and we'll make your shirts just the way you like them according to your file.
Yes. This service is available in Hamilton Bespoke. If you prefer the fit or style of a shirt already in your possession we can duplicate all or certain elements.
We suggest commercial laundering without starch. If a specific fabric requires dry cleaning, this will be indicated on the shirt care tag. Federal law does not allow us to suggest "commercial laundering" on shirt care tags.
For this reason the care tag reads, "Machine wash cold, line dry, do not bleach". This is also an acceptable form of shirt care, however we have observed that shirts shrink more when washed at home as compared to when commercially laundered.
Your collar has been specially constructed to avoid excessive shrinkage after many launderings. For this reason, we prefer not to glue, or fuse the interlining to the collar fabric.
If hand ironing, press from the tips of the collar up and towards the center. Do not press towards the tips of the collar or the fabric may crease against the seam.
If you are consistently having issues with fabric creasing on your collars, you may want to consider fused lining. Although not recommended due to excessive shrinkage, we will use fused lining upon request.
Collars and cuffs consist of an interlining sewn between two pieces of fabric. It's this interlining that provides the necessary structure and weight. Most shirtmakers choose to fuse (glue) the interlining to the fabric because it is an easy way to ensure the shirt looks crisp when new.
The downside to fusing is that the shirt continues to shrink with each laundering as the glue contracts. It requires greater care and skill to construct an excellent non-fused collar. Non-fused shirts do not shrink after initial launderings.
Although not recommended due to the excessive shrinkage, we will use fused lining upon request.
The answer depends on many factors, so it's best to contact a shirt specialist regarding your specific situation. Here are some general guidelines:
– We guarantee that shirts will be delivered within our stated sizing tolerances. If we fail to do so, we will make the necessary alterations at no charge. Otherwise, alteration charges will apply.
– The body of a shirt can't be altered to a larger size. If the collar and/or cuffs are too small, those can sometimes be replaced.
– The body of a shirt can be reduced up to 2" in the chest, waist and bicep areas. If additional alterations are required to achieve your desired fit, the shirt should be replaced. If the original shirt was purchased within a year of the requested alteration, we will extend a 25% discount on the replacement.
– We can sometimes replace parts of a shirt (collars, cuffs, etc.). We would have to check that fabric is available and matches the color shade of the shirt. Shirts often change color with time and laundering.
– Shirts more than ten years old cannot be easily altered without the shirt falling apart.

It still had some stickers on it. I found one with a number on it. I'll use that in my online search for a better price.
In the mean time, I went and bought out all the store had yesterday, 82 in all. Yikes! Did I actually do that?! I ended up getting 15% off the total order so that was good. It is actually a candle holder but works perfectly as a coaster holder.
Thank you so much. That means a lot coming from you! I am still somewhat technically insufficient but am learning a lot. I still have a ways to go but will get there in due time. My goal is to spend time every day on the website till I get it where I want it, then kind of go in to maintenance mode. If you have any words of advice on websites–and have some time–I'd love to hear them.

Exploring knitting, crochet, beading, spinning, fashion, and such while making accessories that love to have fun.

Viking Knitting
Working with wire can be really challenging to learn, but the finished pieces are so much fun to wear.
This technique does in fact create a knitted wire tube, but the process of creating it is counterintuitive.
The work is done in the opposite direction as you normally work with knitting needles. That is, the "stitches" are worked from the top down by weaving the wire underneath the previous round.
It really is more of a weaving technique, but the end result produces a "fabric" of twisted knit stitches that is very durable.
Here the ensemble that went on my arm to the office today. It's a lot of fun putting different textures together. I made the top bracelet using an old 2-ply braiding technique and the middle one is a bead crochet rope bangle.
And the viking knit bracelet really needed a companion necklace. Here's a little detail showing one of my favorite frog beads.
If you like wire jewelry, be sure to stop back by the blog on Friday. There will be an interview with a young artist who does amazing jewelry design with wire crochet.

I love knitting with wire but I find it really cuts into my fingers. I'm using some 24 guage beading wire, any suggestions on better material or is this just a "suck it up buttercup" kind of project?

Thanks for the compliment, Bri!
Kitty, for regular knitting using knitting needles with wire, I've read (and can confirm) that the best gauge to use is size 28, 30 or even smaller. The size 24 gauge works well for vikingknitting that will get drawn down to a smaller size, but for regular knitting with needles, I'd go with a finer gauge wire.

It's a little nuts to do very much of the Viking knitting because it's a little hard on the hands and shoulders, but it's an easy-to-learn technique with fun results.

How amazing. I have never heard of that before but they are beautiful. :)
I loved all the hats that you found on etsy but some of the "ROYAL" hat left me a little "NOT' so proud to be British (He! He!)
Have a lovely Day, T. :)

I love your Viking knit bracelet. I'm into it lately. I like the way you only did half of the bracelet and incorporated coordinating beads. The beads are looking great with the color of the wire. Did you use artistic wire or colored wire?

VAW, stands for Violante Against Women. When we hear this word the first thing which comes to our minds is sexual assault, rape and honor killings but domestic violence is the least we think about. Our definition of Domestic violence is also limited to the physical vigilance a women is subjected to by her spouse, and that violence too is limited to serious physical assault . Terms like marital rape are very alien to out society, giving mental stress or limiting the women members of the family is often not seen as domestic violence at all.
In the past two years of time i have come across many young women being going through domestic violence. they are not wives but either daughters of the household or sisters who have been divorces and are lving in their parents house with their siblings. The type of violence they have been facing if not at all physical but its a mental pressure which is breaking them bit by bit from the inside. Some struggling for the choice of professional work they want to do but their parents wont allow them to work outside the house, some want to marry the man they love and their parents wont let it happen because the man they love is not from their cast or of the same social status money money wise. women are often disowned by their casts when they marry in a family out of their clan. It may not seem to me a serious kind of violence, some may not even acknowledge this as violence but the mental trauma which these young women go though on a daily bases is often quite intense and leaves long term effect of their personalities. such issues are also not easy to discuss because one they are very complicated an secondly it involves their very own parents who are their only support.
Our society oppresses women on a number of levels, the patriarch system is deep imbedded in our roots, we have a long way to go to give women the liberation and freedom witch is their basic human right. the need it to bring these topics to general discussions and resolve them on through dialogues, social discussions, and different mediums of expressions which includes all forms of visual arts, performance art, literature. The conventional media like radio and television media and commercial print media will also need to play their roles to address these issues which may require us come out of our commercial convenience and be a little ruthless, But if we don't make a move today our children and their children too will continue to face these violence in their lives.

Defensive Northumberland by Colin Alexander
This entry was posted on April 25, 2018.
I was born in Northumberland, at the end of the Roman Wall, and grew up in a coastal village whose clifftops are crowned with evocative mediaeval ruins. Little wonder then, that I shared an interest in local history with my father.
Northumbrians are very aware that their land has always been frontier territory, a county of contrasts, with Iron Age hill-forts scattered all over the north, and the rich Roman heritage in the south. Dramatic castles and pele towers can be found throughout, making it a fascinating area to explore.
Before the Roman invasion, what is now southern Scotland and northern England was a land of small-scale skirmishes between rival tribes and clans. For hundreds of years subsequently, the position of the border changed repeatedly, either the cause or the effect of large-scale conflicts. Eventually the Union of England and Scotland made the border an administrative line on the map.
In addition to border warfare, Northumbrians have, from the time of the Vikings until World War Two, lived with a constant threat from hostile nations across the North Sea. We appreciate the county's place geographically and historically, acting for centuries as a buffer-zone between Scotland and England, much closer to Edinburgh than far-off Westminster. Two-thousand years of turmoil and threat have left a fascinating legacy on the unique landscape of this remote corner of England, combining hilltop Iron Age settlements and the great Roman infrastructure with many centuries' worth of later fortifications of all types and sizes. These include humble fortified farm dwellings, massive castles, town walls and Berwick's incredible Elizabethan ramparts.
Northumberland's ancient hill-forts and mediaeval castles were regular destinations for family outings and school trips for as long as I can remember, and with my two sons I have walked the length of its greatest defensive monument – Hadrian's Wall. I am fortunate that I was able to spend much of my childhood exploring the steep grass banks and ruins of Tynemouth Castle, a place to fire the imagination with its centuries of military history intertwined with a fiery monastic past.
For purposes of this book, 'Northumberland' refers to the historic county as it existed for centuries before 1974 when its populous south-east corner was grafted onto part of County Durham to form the faceless and short-lived political entity of Tyne & Wear.
This book attempts to show some of the variety in Northumberland's rich legacy of defensive structures from prehistory to modern times. Tales of Border Reivers, ancient tribes, great battles, sieges, Zeppelin raids bring to life the story of our great fortifications.
Taking the photographs for the book was an adventure in itself. I spent many happy days walking some of England's least-frequented landscapes in search of the past. Hills were climbed and the remains of Iron Age settlements photographed. I realised early into the writing that ground-level photography would not do justice to these hill-forts. I contacted a gentleman who had some impressive aerial photos of these locations, seeking his permission to use some of them in the book. He replied that he could do better than that, and took me up in his light aircraft with my camera. A couple of the spectacular results appear in the book. I could easily have filled a book double this size and still not exhausted this topic, and was a little sorry when I was finished, so enjoyable was its making.
Colin Alexander's new book Defensive Northumberland is available for purchase now.

Women have special nutritional needs. In addition, they often have extremely busy schedules, keeping up with children, work responsibilities and home chores. Busy mothers may not always have the time to eat right. A number of supplements can help them stay active and healthy.
Calcium is particularly important for women who can lose calcium during pregnancy and birth. Busy mothers do not always remember to consume enough dairy products to replenish their calcium reserves. A calcium supplement taken daily will help to prevent bone loss now and in their later years.
Women's bodies lose iron during menstrual periods. Consuming food that contains iron may not be able to replenish the stores of iron that they need. This can lead to fatigue, shortness of breath and a general dragged-out feeling. Iron supplements help to replace the iron reserves that area lost each month and will help to keep busy mothers energetic.
Vitamin C
The human body cannot make its own vitamin C. It must be taken in through the foods that you eat. Vitamin C can help to boost the immune system. It can be especially helpful for busy moms who spend time around children with the sniffles. Vitamin C may also play a part in preventing heart disease, improving lung function and preventing cancer, diabetes, heart disease and stroke. A daily supplement of vitamin C helps to ensure that you are getting a sufficient amount of this important antioxidant.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Current research is indicating that omega-3 fatty acids have a significant benefit on a variety of body processes. It aids in brain function and memory, reduces high blood pressure, soothes inflammation in the body and may be able to lower the risk of cancer, heart disease, arthritis and other diseases. Omega-3 fatty acids are also associated with a lower incidence of macular degeneration, an eye disease that occurs with aging. Nuts, mackerel, tuna, salmon and sardines are all high in omega-3 fatty acids. Busy moms may wish to take one of the omega-3 fatty acid supplements if they do not have enough of these items in their diets.
Melatonin helps to regulate hormone levels in the body and can help to regulate your sleep schedule. Busy mothers in particular may find it difficult to wind down and fall asleep each night. Getting a full night's sleep can assist in higher productivity and improve overall health. Taking melatonin helps women to reach that calmer state that allows them to fall asleep more easily.
Busy moms often eat on the run and deal with daily stress. These conditions can cause a number of gastrointestinal problems that can be uncomfortable and inconvenient. Research suggests that taking a probiotic can help with many of these digestive problems. Probiotics are live bacteria that are beneficial to the intestinal system of the human body. Taking probiotics can help to relieve both constipation and diarrhea symptoms because they encourage the normal, healthy bacteria in the intestines to flourish. A probiotic supplement can help to keep busy moms' digestive systems working properly even when they don't take time to eat well.

XKCD Share Twitter Pinterest Email Design Tiny Homes Architecture Interior Design Green Design Urban Design It is a constant frustration (particularly as a former designer) to see how little people actually understand about design, about how long it takes, and about how difficult it really is. Then there are the problems of actually making stuff, which is also hard. That's why so many Kickstarter projects end up in tears, as people come up against the realization that everything takes longer and costs more than you ever thought it would. On XKCD, Randall Munroe nails it with his lastest, where he looks at some of the most ordinary objects and the kind of issues that affect designers, manufacturers, marketers and lawyers. He is right about one thing; it is indeed overwhelming. On BoingBoing, Corey Doctorow reminds us of Bruce Sterling's idea of Spimes. A Spime is a location-aware, environment-aware, self-logging, self-documenting, uniquely identified object that flings off data about itself and its environment in great quantities. A universe of Spimes is an informational universe, and it is the use of this information that informs the most exciting part of Sterling's argument. Spimes were a way of documenting the stories of the stuff we make, everything that goes into it. It is too bad that a lamp or a table or for that matter, a building cannot tell their stories of how they got to be what they are. I am reminded of that old IKEA ad where the Swedish guys says lamps don't have feelings. Perhaps not, but they do have stories.

Written by Menswear Style in Health & Fitness on the 19th June 2017 / A Guide to Wearing Weighted Clothing
Weighted clothing, as you might guess, are articles of clothing such as shorts, vests, pants, gloves, and more - designed to enhance your fitness routine. These versatile pieces of clothing come with a number of unexpected health benefits. They help users increase their metabolism, improve bone mass and muscle tone, as well as help users achieve a sense of calm.
Why You Should Wear It
Adding weighted clothing to your fitness routine can add a layer of intensity you might not get from your normal workout. If you're doing a lot of crossfit exercises or other body-weight activities, you're not really able to carry around weights and still maintain the mobility needed to actually do the workout. Weighted clothing offers a snug fit, adding resistance, but allowing for a wide range of movement. Weighted clothing comes with a range of benefits from boosting metabolism to increasing muscle mass by adding extra resistance, as well as improving your air capacity and cardiovascular health.
Types of Weighted Clothing
As you might imagine, you can find a range of weighted clothing articles designed to enhance a variety of workouts. Here's a look at some of the more common pieces you may want to consider adding to your fitness routine.
Weighted Vests: One of the most popular choices, a weighted vest fits snugly on the chest, and are a versatile piece of weight training equipment guaranteed to distribute weight evenly across the upper body, adding resistance safely. Weighted vests help build core strength, upper body strength and help runners achieve greater speeds.
Ankle Weights: Another popular option, ankle weights are a great tool for runners looking to add lag to their workouts and build leg strength. Users should be careful to avoid using ankle weights for too long, as they can add some wear and tear to the joints.
Weighted Belts: An alternative to a vest, weighted belts offer more mobility during resistance exercise and are perfect if you're worried about overheating during a workout. What's worth mentioning here, is a weighted belt needs to be properly fitted, as a too-large unit may slip around uncomfortably or slide over the hips.
Weighted Shirts: This option is quite similar to a weighted vest, but offers some of the benefits of a compression shirt along with the added resistance, without any stress on the joints. Though ideal for a workout requiring maximum mobility, the weighted shirt may be challenging to put on.
Weighted Gloves: Weighted gloves might not be for everyone looking to step up their fitness game, but they may come in handy for those practicing boxing or martial arts, as well as aerobic exercise. Adding weight to the hands can help increase arm strength without the need to hold a cumbersome barbell to achieve the desired results.
Additional Benefits of Weighted Clothing
While the main reason people buy weighted pieces of clothing is to strengthen and sculpt muscles, certain pieces of clothing may also help build stronger bones and potentially lose weight more quickly. Weighted clothing, vests and shirts in particular, may have a soothing effect on some people with ADHD or autism, as the extra weight makes them feel calm, providing a sensation similar to receiving a hug.

Helpful Tips in dealing with your water damage loss:
- Stop the leak as soon as possible. Call your local plumbing company to repair the leaking area.
- Begin mitigation process immediately to avoid secondary damages from occurring. If water sits too long, the damage will continue to spread causing more area of loss. Structural materials and furnishings that have been left in a "wet" state for prolonged periods of time will start to breakdown and possibly become unsalvageable.
- Always use a skilled, certified company to perform your restoration work. A certified technician will have the skills and experience to handle your water loss in the most efficient, cost effective manner.
- Contact your insurance company and file a claim. No company can give you a guarantee on your coverage for water damage loss other than your insurance provider. You have the right to choose your own remediation company.
- A water-damaged home or business can pose safety hazards. The biggest safety hazard on a water loss is slipping and falling.
- If a Category 3 loss occurs, ESR recommends occupants to vacate until mitigation procedures take place. Category 3 water can pose a significant health hazard especially to immune compromised individuals i.e. infants, young children, and elderly.
- Time plays a factor in your water loss. A "clean" water loss can change to a Category 2 or 3 as the water sits for prolonged periods of time and bacteria begins to amplify. These changes to the structural materials can begin to occur within 48 to 72 hours of the loss occurring.

(Update 2017) I've gone back and forth for a year now about whether I should keep the Hamburger Helper posts and the like on the site. On the one hand, they are the most popular posts on the blog. Every day, more and more people check these posts out. On the other hand, they are so unhealthy even with the good stuff added. And this blog is supposed to be about eating healthy on a budget. What to-do, what to-do?
Well, I decided to leave them. For now. My figuring is that if people are adding the good stuff then they are benefiting somewhat on the health side. And those people may need to cut corners more than others. So the hamburger helper ones are staying. At least until I can figure out how else to get that information to people.
Do you like Hamburger Helper? My daughter does. It isn't something I usually purchase, but a few months ago I had a few coupons for multiple boxes. The Hamburger Helper was on sale and cost only .75 a box with coupons for the name brand boxes.
We do varying things with the different types of helpers. We have been known to add chicken instead of beef to the beef stroganoff, so we know you can mix and match meats. Use any kind of meat you like in any of the different helpers. You can also do meat mixes. Why not use:
- Turkey
- Ham
- Pork roast
- Turkey and chicken mix
We also add vegetables. We've been known to add just one, or a combination of different vegetables:
- Celery
- Peas
- Carrots
- Corn and peas
- Carrots and green beans
- Broccoli
For more ideas: More Hamburger Helper Add-ins
You can do many things with Hamburger Helper. How about sharing some of your creations in the comments? Thank you.

BOOK REVIEW: Deadline
Author: Mira Grant
Publisher: Orbit
Release Date: June 2011
Pages: 560
The gripping sequel to the science fiction zombie-thriller FEED. The truth won't rest, and neither will the dead . . .
Shaun Mason is a man without a mission. Not even running the news organization he built with his sister has the same urgency as it used to. Playing with dead things just doesn't seem as fun when you've lost as much as he has.
But when a researcher from the Centre for Disease Control fakes her own death and appears on his doorstep with a ravenous pack of zombies in tow, Shaun's relieved to find a new purpose in life. Because this researcher comes bearing news: the monster who attacked them may be destroyed, but the conspiracy is far from dead.
Now, Shaun hits the road to find what truth can be found at the end of a shotgun.
Mira Grant is the open pseudonym of Seanan McGuire, a successful fantasy writer and the winner of the 2010 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer.
Deadline is the second book in the fantastic zombie trilogy by Mira Grant, following hotly on the tail of Feed. Deadline deals heavily with the aftermath of Feed, which, to keep it spoiler-free, let's just say makes the narrator a total drag. The mood is much more sombre here, which makes sense given the storyline but also can get on the nerves. The focus remains on the conspiracy introduced in the first book, although now it's more about the science than the politics behind that conspiracy. The third book, Blackout, is schedule for a May 2012 release. This was an absolutely excellent continuation of this series. Things that happen in this book will absolutely take your breath away; it is absolutely engaging and really makes you think.
After the death of his sister, Shaun is at a loss as to what to do with his life. Then a doctor from the CDC shows up with some really interesting data and Shaun is drawn into a plot that is bigger than him and his sister ever dreamed. Now Shaun and he fellow bloggers are trying to unravel the plot around the virus before someone stops them, like terminally stops them.
This book is told from Shaun's perspective, although Georgia is present as a voice in Shaun's head. There are a wonderful cast of characters, some new, most of them old favourites from the first book.
I found myself absolutely hooked, and unwilling to leave the world. That made my road trips around the Bay Area (home of lots of plot action) this past weekend pretty interesting, as I looked around me trying to imagine the same vista in Mira Grant's world. And I'll never look at Costco or Wal-Mart the same way!!
Personally, I think this is the best zombie-themed writing since World War Z, which I think still is cream of the crop. If you liked WWZ, definitely give this series a spin.

Go Nutty with mouthwatering nut mixes from That Nutty Redhead! Lisa Griffiths, aka That Nutty Redhead, began catering in 2002 and now specializes in all-natural nut snacks.
Unable to find high quality, natural snacks she liked in the grocery store, Lisa decided to take matters into her own hands. It made perfect sense, too, because creating satisfying treats is a family tradition: her great grandparents once owned a candy factory! And her original nut recipe inspiration came from her ancestor Ella Mae's turn of the century cookbook.
That Nutty Redhead nut mixes accommodate many dietary requirements. They are free of gluten, corn syrup, dairy, eggs, wheat, peanuts and soy. They also contain no trans oil, preservatives, MSG or artificial colors and flavors.
Lisa starts with raw almonds and cashews and "steam cooks" them to keep in the nutrients. Then she adds all natural spices and flavorings, which are locally sourced when possible to support the community. She also uses eco-friendly packaging, provided by standuppouches.net.
Find That Nutty Redhead nut mixes in two tempting flavors:
Breakfast in New England (Toffee-Maple): A mixture of almonds and cashews with a fragrant, rich, maple-toffee, and cinnamon flavor, much like pancakes or French toast on the go!
New England Praline w/Sea Salt (Madagascar Vanilla): With all natural cinnamon-sugar, and pure Madagascar vanilla, this almond and cashew mix is based on a German praline recipe.

Apologies, please use the corrected Meeting Minutes.
An "inside joke" was mistakenly left on the report.
Posted by Solomon's words for the wise at 9/15/2016 03:41:00 PM
How can an annual raise for the Exe Sec'y. be unanimously approved after the meeting is adjourned?
Raises for county employees are supposed to be proposed and approved at Salary Board meetings.
Once more it appears that Commissioners Heimel and Kefover are very busy promoting Potter County and handling county business. What is Commissioner Morley doing to promote Potter County?
Is this a Misprint? It reads that executive secretary would receive a raise of 25,000? A Raise, or is the actual salary 25,000 per Year? This couldn't be a raise of 25,000 a year, could It? Maybe I misread, if I did I apologize. No one is worth a 25,000 raise a Year! Sorry if I'm wrong.
I agree with comment at 3:57. When meeting is adjourned, it is closed. But a $25,000 RAISE? Who in the world gets that? What is this persons salary before the $25,000?
I thought that sounded a little wacky. Thanks for clarifying. Got a chuckle out of it.
Why should the townships and boroughs pay for this class at the vo-tech or Career Technical School in Port Allegany? That should be paid by the school districts or the emergency service agencies or the students themselves.
I would like to wish a happy retirement to Will Worthington as veteran's director. He has done a good job and leaves big boots to fill. Thanks, Will!
Now it is the Womens Recovery Center rather than the Rehabilitation Center? Interesting!
The county is requesting support for a training program, from all Boroughs and Townships, Seeing many local governments are already strapped for cash. How about the County spend it's own money instead of placing additional burdens on local governing bodies.
I am not sure who Susan Kefover is representing when she says that "letters have been sent out." Maybe it is the vo tech asking for the money. The county doesn't have anything to do with this project at the vo tech school except maybe Glen Dunn is helping? Not sure why a commissioner is even involved. It is probably the school districts and the vo tech is doing this.

1. Hop up your hardware
Switching up the cabinet knobs and handles in your kitchen or bathroom seems like a little thing — but it can make a big impact.
At Balancing Beauty & Bedlam, one homeowner opted for an even lower cost solution and spray-painted the knobs on her cabinets, to transform her dated brass hardware.
Into spiffy chrome to match her stainless appliances:
It was so easy and turned out so well, that when her daughters asked to paint the knobs blue for Easter, she said "why not?"
2. Shake up the shades
Changing lamp shades can change the whole feel of a room. Try replacing your neutral shades with bold colored or patterned shades. If you're feeling crafty, stencil a pattern or stripe onto an ivory shade (tip: the larger the lampshade, the more impact your design will make).
Instead of paint, see how the ambitious lamp-owner from Designer Attache used tape and ink to transform this shade
3. Bring out the baseboards
Paint your baseboards a contrasting color — if your walls are pale, choose a dark color to make the walls pop, like designer Paul Anater did in this home featured on Houzz. (As an added bonus, dark baseboards will show far less wear and tear.)
4. Cheer up your closet
Think just because it's the closet, it doesn't have design potential? Think again. Whether you have a roomy walk-in or a closet the size of a closet, a little enhancement can bring a smile to your face every time you open the door.
Stop by your local paint or home improvement store and browse through the wall paper remnants — when you find one you like, bring it home and transform your closet from blah to wow, like these featured at M { pression.
5. Collate your collectibles
Change up your living room by switching out the accessories — clear everything off the sofa table and replace it with a collection from somewhere else in your home. For added oomph for smaller items, pick up a frameless mirror from a local framing or glass store and arrange your collectibles on the tray.
Crystal glasses from a grandmother? Frogs from around the world? Geodes? You'd be surprised what will look great when you gather several together and highlight them in one place, like these globes featured in Real Simple.

We should also point out
that there is no state law (in any state) that stipulates that a casket
must be used for a burial. State law for cremation generally states
that a "suitable, rigid, combustible" container must be used for cremation.
You can, of course, select
a casket from your funeral home. Do bear in mind that the funeral
home MUST give you a Casket Price List (CPL) before showing you any caskets.
It is not uncommon for a funeral home to show you three caskets, a bottom,
mid and top range, anticipating that you will opt for the mid-range.
This is a little bit of consumer psychology! We should also advise
you that it has been known for funeral sales personnel to use what are
known as "up selling" tactics. This can be where they will use psychological
tactics to kind of influence you to purchase a more expensive casket or
ancillary extras. Not all funeral homes do this, but forewarned IS
I should also mention here
that due to the competition on casket sales now, and declining profits
for funeral homes, more funeral homes are 'price-matching' high street
or online casket prices. If you can find a cheaper price for the
casket your funeral home is offering elsewhere, it may well be worth approaching
them to see if they will offer you a better price.
A High Street Casket Retailer
Remarkably, there are now
a number of independent high street casket retailers. These offer
a casket showroom, similar to a funeral home, but of course they are only
retailing caskets. Most of these companies offer caskets at a significant
saving. In some states there is a powerful local lobby that overrides
the FTC's funeral rule, and only licensed funeral establishments can sell
Of course, you can only use
a high street casket retailer if there is one near enough to you, and they
either have stock of the casket you require, or can order the casket required
in time for the funeral.
Online Casket Retailers
The Internet has changed
many consumer markets, and the casket marketplace is no different.
There are several online casket retailers, many of which deliver next day
across the United States. As with any online purchase, you should
ensure that you are dealing with a trustworthy and reputable company, and
that you have some assurances about after-sales service. The last
thing you want is to order a casket online and have problems with delivery.
However, many people are ordering caskets online every day because the
amount of money they can save on the overall cost of a funeral is significant.
For a full selection of
casket available online "click
It did create some controversy
within the industry when retail giants Costco and Walmart started to sell
caskets online. Costco Wholesale offer a limited selection of caskets
supplied through Universal Casket Company, and offer standard 3-day delivery
or expedited shipping, with prices starting at $1,148.99. Similarly,
Walmart offer an online range of caskets starting at $995.00.
Caskets Types Available
The terms "protected", "gasketed"
or "sealed" are often used to make the purchaser believe that adding these
extras to the casket will keep the body preserved for a longer period of
time. All that can be expected from these additions is to keep water
out of the casket to prevent rust. An important factor of which you
should be aware is the fact that no casket, no matter how expensive, will
preserve the body forever. The external fittings of a casket or coffin
are also sometimes referred to as "coffin furniture', and these can sometimes
be quite ornate, with brass handles and plaques. Both these fittings
and additional 'trimmings' for the inside of the casket can often be offered
as additional extras. All that these extra additions will do is drive up
the price of the casket. It is also important to remember that the
expense of the casket does nothing to prove your love and respect for the
Caskets/coffins for
Jewish funerals
In the Jewish faith a burial
container or coffin should be as simple and natural as possible, with no
metal. For this reason basic pine coffins are generally used, and
they should contain no ornate fittings or fancy handles. Usually
the handles are made so that they can be removed before burial, ensuring
that the deceased can be buried in as simple a box as possible.
A standard 18-gauge steel
casket can be purchased retail for around $995.00. A copper or bronze
casket is likely to cost in the region of $3,000. You can pay thousands
of dollars for a casket if you so choose. Batesville's top of the
range casket named 'Promethean' retails at around $30,000.
Aurora Casket Company Inc
– Aurora is another leading casket company, also based in Indiana, and
they currently hold a 10% share of the U.S. casket market.
Universal Casket Co. – Universal
Caskets is based in Michigan and is also the supplier for Costco.
Imported caskets - Today
there is a growing market of imported caskets from China. Yes, sadly,
a casket, which looks just the same as an American-produced casket, can
be imported all the way from China and retailed for less. At the
end of the day, price is the bottom-line that dictates most people's shopping
decisions today, and this has driven a market for imported caskets.
Although the FTC Funeral
Rule is federal law, there are a few states where the state licensing board
for funeral directors has managed to still impose state law that dictates
that third-party casket sellers cannot operate unless they are a licensed
funeral home. In Louisiana, Oklahoma and Virginia only a licensed
funeral director can sell a casket.
A funeral home should not
refuse to use a casket purchased elsewhere. Nor are they allowed
to add a "handling fee" if you order a casket on your own. By Federal
Law, you have the right to purchase your casket anywhere you choose.
However, it is possible that you will meet with resentment at the funeral
home since they will be losing a large percentage of profit on this transaction.
Wherever you decide to purchase
a funeral casket, try and think about what the funeral casket is for, it
is to give the deceased a dignified means of being transported before a
funeral service, be it a burial or a funeral cremation. It is also
important to note that no funeral casket can preserve the deceased body
forever. The Federal Trade Commission's Funeral Rule forbids any
claims that special extras with descriptions like "seals", "protective"
and "gasketed" caskets can help to preserve the body, and they only tend
to make the funeral casket cost more.
When members of a deceased
person's family shop for funeral caskets, it is obviously a time of great
emotion. Someone near and dear to them has just passed away and there
are many arrangements to be made. They do not want to spend a great
deal of money but they do want to bury their loved one in a funeral casket
that they feel is appropriate and dignified.

Cameras and monitors mounted on mobile carts have been connecting patients in rural exam rooms to distant providers for decades. Many of these integrate electronic stethoscopes and other peripheral devices to transmit a physical exam and other essential vitals. As telehealth programs expand, healthcare organizations have begun to use off-the-shelf webcams/laptops, tablets, and even smart phones. While established vendors compete to create the most efficient end-to-end solution, many new entrepreneurs attempt to navigate the regulatory process. Innovators are developing new software (such as cloud-based videoconferencing, enhanced workflow products, and a wide variety of mobile apps) and hardware (including smaller carts, high-definition cameras, all-in-one peripheral devices, and more). Throughout the industry, a major emphasis to connect the consumer at home or work continues to develop.
