There was an unusual confluence of events last week. I had a "Warmshowers" guest stop by Wednesday on his trip from Toronto to California. After an evening of swapping stories and helping him plan his route, he took off first thing in the morning.
The weather looked promising although unseasonably cool. I was planning to ride down to the lake shore for the weekend. We both joked about the possibility of our paths crossing since he was taking a slow northern route around South Haven and down, while I was going to roll into Warren Dunes south of St. Joe. Odds were slim, even though he was taking it easy on an injured leg,
I assumed he'd be south of me by Saturday.
Satuday was a little bit different. The wind had shifted. It came from the NNW and was very gusty and cold. I was pedaling predominately south so it helped until I had a 5 mile segment due west and the wind took it's toll. While I was at Nikki's Diner in Berrien Springs I pondered a couple of things, the remaining 10-15 miles to the Lakeshore would be right dead into the west wind and the lakeshore would likely be 15-20 degrees colder that night. Then, Scott pedaled past! I flagged him down and invited him in to have a laugh over running into each other. He was checking out the campground nearby and talking himself out of the trip to the lake.
Sunday was a moving day. Scott headed off towards Michigan City. I wanted one long day behind me and it added up to around 65 miles. The gusty 20 mph winds pushed me over the country side. There were a few torturous miles I pushed right against the wall of wind in my granny gear, barely beating walking speed. The other 55 or so miles were down wind and the day made for a very pleasant metric century, first of the year.

With last night's bombshell announcement of WWE Hall of Famer Madusa, aka Alundra Blayze, our inquiries have been off the hook! As mentioned briefly in our press release late Wednesday, Madusa has agreed to a multi-Seminar and appearance deal with RISE. The first is September 15 in Norwich, England as part of RISE 4 with SHIMMER Champion Mercedes Martinez!
However, we have a lot more going on this year, and our North American Prospective Seminar Talents have been asking what's in store for the rest of 2017, so here is what we can tell you.
RISE 4 – WARRIORS RISE September 15 in Norwich, England with Madusa and SHIMMER Champion Mercedes Martinez, £100.
RISE 5 – RISING SUN November 10 in Berwyn, IL (Chicago) with Unannounced Joshi Legend and TBD, $150.
RISE 6 – BRUTALITY December 1 in South Gate, CA (Los Angeles) with Madusa and TBD.
"Clearly the program is hitting its stride and we are involving heavy hitters, some of the heaviest hitters in wrestling history. I know we have been ambiguous with our language about a 'crazy back half of 2017,' and 'cannot believe who we're talking to for upcoming seminars.' Hopefully, with the confirmation and announcement of Madusa's involvement in RISE clearly shows just how serious we are about developing the next generation of women's wrestlers. Now, when girls see things like 'Unannounced' and 'TBD,' I hope they realize that only means it is something amazing we are working on and, as is the case with most major business dealings, little can be outwardly discussed until all details on all sides are final," said PIPELINE Executive Producer, Kevin Harvey.
Harvey elaborated, "We know we are asking talent to take personal, professional and financial risks to be part of RISE Seminars and potentially our Live Events. We are taking those same risks on a grand scale to show all we truly believe in what we do: discovering new talent and cultivating the next generation of stars in women's wrestling."
Now, the remainder of 2017's Seminars are all open for registration and effectively on sale. Though they are months away, early registration will allow for maximum time to plan travel for Prospective Seminar Talents.
Women wrestlers, to begin your journey to RISE, please fill out the form below.

Yesterday I was remembering where I was when England won the World Cup in 1966 – with my family on Looe beach (not far from here along the Cornish coast). Mum and I had gone to buy ice creams, we weren't interested in football. The beach was crowded with people listening to the match on their radios. What I clearly and visually recall was standing on the small promenade above the beach and watching the whole beach erupt as the iconic words "They think it's all over – it is now" heralded the win. My brother told me this morning what he most remembers is having fish and chips and cider afterwards!
Today is another anniversary, slightly less momentous in the national scheme of things, it's 4 years since I moved into this house. It's an odd feeling – it doesn't seem that long ago, but a lot has happened – good and less good. However I roll the dice, it's been an eventful time and I feel it has become both my home and the place where I work.
Last week a friend came from the US, and one of the things she told me about was going on a retreat with Cynthia Bourgeault on Teilhard de Chardin. I asked her what was her main learning from it. She said, two words – "optimism" (Teilhard took a very long view, being a palaeontologist!) and "get out there" – Cynthia's words – meaning we have to engage in the world, not live in an ivory tower of solitude and seclusion.
Sitting outside having breakfast the following day, vaguely pondering this, I thought "My calling is not retreat giving". After all that effort to move here and set this place up, why do I say that? After reflecting further I thought, because now I understand that to focus on one thing only is to conveniently avoid the bigger picture, which is what Cynthia was talking about. Responding to God's call is a being event. In "getting out there" it's not necessarily a call to social action, which might well be part of the story, but it's a call to BE in the world. And it's not a call to be out there, as some kind of model of perfection (as if!), that's another way of staying in that ivory tower. It's a call primarily to relationship with God, the Divine, the Source of all Life and it involves the whole of us, not just the part we think is our calling, or gift or spiritual goal. I'm reminded of some other personal iconic words from 30 odd years ago, "I haven't called you to publish books, I've called you to be a friend". It's taken me a long time to "get" this.
The way I've come to this is through prayer, particularly contemplative prayer. Mirabai Starr writes about Teresa of Avila's three stages of prayer. Starting with the prayer of Recollection, focussed silent prayer or meditation which takes effort on our part. Over time it can lead on to the prayer of Quiet, she says "We cannot manufacture or manipulate this stage of prayer. We can only make ourselves ready to receive it when it comes, and in the words of Stephen Levine we "hold on tightly and let go lightly". Last comes the prayer of Union which "is usually fleeting, but its impact endures. Each time God blesses us with these unitive experiences, we are forever transformed."
I write about this not out of huge experience, but a sliver of awareness, that numinous moment on retreat last year, which I more and more see as a transformative event from which I began anew. It's why I will continue to offer retreat space, as that is one place and space where we can deepen this process of intimacy with God. Not separating ourselves off in a holier than thou huddle with God, but receiving the kind of intimate love that propels us back into the world.
And just as England struggle to repeat the success of 50 years ago, we too in the words of Mirabai Starr "are likely to still bumble through the human condition, behaving unskilfully at times, and with more grace at others". She goes on to say "but with each taste of union we identify a little less with the individual personality and more with our essential unity with the Divine. We are less likely to take passing circumstances as seriously as we used to. Our values shift from acquiring security to serving the One through being of service in the world".
It's so subtle, and even harder to write about. But I can't not try. Just like the England football team and Teilhard de Chardin, I will take the long view!

>> Heinz Kluetmeier '65, whose career as a photojournalist for Sports Illustrated spans nearly four decades, was honored in October for outstanding achievement in sports photography with a Lucie Award, an international photography award. Kluetmeier, who was already shooting pictures for the Associated Press at age 15, majored in engineering and worked as an engineer for a steel company until 1969, when he joined Time Inc. as a photographer for Sports Illustrated and Life. He has since shot more than 100 covers for SI, and in 1986 was named the director of photography at the magazine. "Technique and technical stuff is absolutely irrelevant to the picture in terms of what you do as a photographer," he told PDN Legends Online. "I think the most important thing is to have a vision, to have an emotional feeling, to care about what you're photographing, and to have something that's already there in your heart, in your eye."

>> The American Society of Civil Engineers recognized Philadelphia Inquirer science reporter Tom Avril '89 with an Excellence in Journalism Award honorable mention for his article about skyscraper construction, "Water to Tame Wind Atop New Skyscraper: Giant Bathtub in the Sky." His lead was a grabber: "It's a great big bathtub in the sky, but hold the soap. A 300,000-gallon, double-chambered tank of water is going in near the top of the Comcast Center — a creative solution by engineers to keep Philadelphia's tallest building from swaying too much in the wind."

He is now a consulting engineer in private practice.
>> Charlie Nearburg '72 Th'73, '74 set three new land-speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats World Finals in October. Driving "The Spirit of Rett," a 35-foot-long streamliner, Nearburg beat two 10-year Southern California Timing Association (SCTA) records with two-way runs averaging 348 mph and 351 mph over a course with five miles for acceleration and two to three miles for shutting down. Three days later he set a Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) record with a two-way average run of 359.5 mph over a course with six miles for acceleration and five miles for shutting down. "In the first FIA run I exited the timed mile at 375 mph. It was pretty awesome," he says. "This puts me seventh on the all-time fastest list at Bonneville and makes the 'Spirit of Rett' the fastest gasoline powered car in history."
Owner of Nearburg Producing Company and a member of Thayer School's Board of Overseers, Nearburg has been racing since high school. "I enjoy the engineering of it and the skill," he says.
The "Spirit of Rett" is named after Nearburg's late son, Rett. Watch Nearburg in action at rett.org.

The first-ever Latino Podcast Listener Report released by Edison Research
SOMERVILLE, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / June 30, 2020 / Liberated Syndication, Inc.(OTCQB:LSYN) -The Latino Podcast Listener Report from Edison Research finds that 25% of U.S. Latinos age 18+ have listened to a podcast in the last month, and 45% of U.S. Latinos age 18+ have ever listened to a podcast. The study also shows increases in podcast listening for over half of U.S. Latinos age 18+ since the outbreak of COVID-19.
The Latino Podcast Listener Report is the first and only comprehensive research on Latino podcast listeners in the United States; it was conducted by Edison Research and commissioned by Adonde Media, Lantigua Williams & Co., Libsyn, NPR, and Pandora. Findings from the study debuted in two webinars on June 30, one in English and one in Spanish, presented by Gabriel Soto, Manager of Research at Edison Research, and Martina Castro, CEO of Adonde Media.
Although U.S. Latinos (61%) overall are less likely to be familiar with the term "podcasting" than the total U.S. population (75%), there are hardly any Spanish-language dominant Latinos in the U.S. who are familiar with the term podcasting and aren't already listening.
The study shows that 36% of U.S. Latinos have listened to a podcast in English and 24% of U.S. Latinos have listened to a podcast in Spanish. Language dominance, in general, does not seem to correlate with the likelihood to be a monthly or weekly listener to podcasts, though: 25% of all U.S. Latinos in non-Spanish-language dominant households have listened to a podcast in the last month compared to 26% of those in Spanish-language dominant households. Also, 20% of all U.S. Latinos in non-Spanish-language dominant households have listened to a podcast in the last week, which is the same number (20%) as those in Spanish-language dominant households.
Among podcast listeners, however, there are some differences based on language dominance. Notably, podcast listeners in Spanish-language dominant households are much more likely to have begun listening to podcasts recently than those in non-Spanish-language dominant households. Seventy percent of Spanish-language dominant listeners have started listening in the last year, compared with 47% of non- Spanish-language dominant listeners. Of all U.S. Latino podcast listeners, 52% are listening to podcasts more since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Of U.S. Latino monthly podcast listeners, 55% are male, 50% are 18-34, and 47% identify as the first generation in the United States.
"Today we learned that the majority of Latinos have only started listening to podcasts within the last year, and yet many are still unfamiliar with the term [podcasting]," noted Gabriel Soto, Manager of Research at Edison Research. "Latinos have been and will continue to be essential for the sustained growth of podcast listening," said Soto.
"We are excited to share the data from the Edison report and explore the opportunities to create community within Latinx podcasting and specifically Spanish language podcasts," remarked Elsie Escobar, Libsyn's Community Manager. "At Libsyn we have always tried to empower more voices outside of traditional media. What we've learned from this data is invaluable in attracting and supporting both Latinx podcasts and audiences."

How This Study Was Conducted
2,500 online interviews were conducted May 5 - May 27, 2020. The survey was offered in both English and Spanish and is nationally representative of Hispanic/Latino adults age 18+. The data is weighted to match age/sex/country of origin of U.S. Hispanic/Latino population and The Infinite Dial 2020 podcast listening statistics. Share of Ear® is based on data from 4,000+ respondents through a nationally representative sample of the U.S. population age 13+. The survey is offered online and offline, and in English and Spanish. Share of Ear data included in this report was updated through Q1 2020, before the COVID-19 disruptions.

|Method for Unifying Operations of Boards by Using Logical Addresses Thereof - The present invention relates to a method or unifying operations of a plurality of boards in a CDMA communication system by using logical addresses of the boards. Conventionally, since a board with a physical slot ID must be attached to a slot of the system corresponding to the physical slot ID, the board cannot be recognized by the system if it is attached to another slot of the system. In the present invention, a board is attached to a slot of the system on the basis of a logical address of the board, which is stored in a board configuration information. According to the present invention, since a board can be attached to any slot of the system regardless of the physical slot ID of the board, the boards can be easily managed.
|System and Method for Secure Transaction Routing on Demand - A secure transaction routing system, which includes a transaction terminal for generating a routing type based on a message received from a transaction instrument, is provided. Many host servers that link to the transaction terminal through one or more communication gateways are also included. The communication gateways route a call session to at least one of the many host servers based on the routing type.
|Tiered Architecture and Method for Securely Routing IP-Based Transactions Across the Internet - A method for transaction routing is provided. The method begins by initiating a call session at a transaction terminal and routing the call session from the transaction terminal to a first communication gateway over a secure public network. A routing condition is determined at the first communication gateway. Based on the routing condition, the call session is routed to a second communication gateway or is conducted at the first communication gateway. A transaction routing system operating on the method is also provided.
|SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONDUCTING SECURE IP TRANSACTION SESSIONS WITH PERSISTENCE - A method for providing a persistent network session is disclosed. The method includes conducting a first session between a terminal and a server via a communication gateway. The first session includes a session between the communication gateway and the server. The method also includes issuing a notification to the communication gateway to continue a session between the terminal and the communication gateway upon closure of the first session.
|MIDDLEWARE ARCHITECTURE FOR IPTV MULTIMEDIA STREAMING - A media content distribution system for distributed multimedia streaming communicates over a network and incorporates multiple independent media stations, each having a media director for control and a number of media engines for storage, retrieval and streaming of media content. A middleware system employing a execution engine for service platform middleware and a presentation engine for terminal middleware is provided for flexible interfacing with network transport and home network elements respectively and the IPTV applications supported.
|METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CLUSTER-WIDE PREDICTIVE AND SELECTIVE CACHING IN SCALABLE IPTV SYSTEMS - A method for caching of stream data is accomplished by assigning for each video segment in the system a likelihood rating of future showing and then determining for each node that contains a copy of the segment a second likelihood value that reflecting a probability that the node will be used to serve streams for the segment. The future cost value of a segment copy is then predicted and preload orders are issued to nodes for segments with the per-copy likelihood above a predefined threshold.
|CACHE AFFILIATION IN IPTV EPG SERVER CLUSTERING - An EPG service architecture incorporates multiple EPG servers connected in a cluster. An active dispatcher is associated with at least one EPG server and multiple standby dispatchers are associated with the cluster. A plurality of STBs interfaced with the EPG server cluster issue requests for EPG service for which the active dispatcher employs an affiliation table as a portion of the cache for redirecting each request to a specific one of the EPG servers affiliated with the STB issuing the request. The active dispatcher multicasts the affiliation table to the multiple standby dispatchers for synchronization.
|HYBRID EPG SERVER WITH SERVICE DISPATCHER TO BUILD A DISPATCHER REDUNDANCY CHAIN IN CLUSTERED IPTV EPG SERVICE - An EPG service architecture incorporates multiple EPG servers connected in a cluster with each EPG server having an EPG service module and a dispatcher. Each dispatcher has the capability for state determination as an active or standby dispatcher. A plurality of STBs interface with the EPG server cluster and issue requests for EPG service which are routed by the active dispatcher. The routing is accomplished by redirection of the request to an EPG service module selected from the multiple EPG servers in the cluster. Each EPG service module includes the capability for service connection to the STB upon receiving the redirection from the active dispatcher. Upon a determination that the current active dispatcher is not operating, the standby dispatchers vote for a replacement which then assumes the active dispatcher role.
|METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REAL-TIME TV ADVERTISEMENT AUCTION IN A TV-OVER-IP ENVIRONMENT - A system for real time auctioning of advertising timeslots for live TV transmission over IP networks incorates settop boxes interconnected to a searver to provide real time viewing statistics to an advertising management system which also receives subscriber information from a subscriber management system which also management system determines demographics responsive to the subscriber information and viewing statistics and publishes advertising timeslot information and the determined demongraphics. A management terminal is employed for creating user accounts, providing access information to users, inspecting and approving advertisements responsive to input the advertisements from the users. Bid parameters are defined using the management terminal and the publication by the system to the users is responsive to the bid parameters. User terminals are provided for uploading advertisements to the advertising management system and the advertising management system further assigns unique identification to the uploaded advertisements. The user terminals upload advertising parameters, receive the published time slots and demographics and submit bids to the advertising management system. The advertising management system receives the bids and inserts predefined advertisements responsive to a winning bid.
|IP BASED LAWFUL INTERCEPTION ON LEGACY EQUIPMENT - A system and method for lawful intercept of call content receives subscriber information as a lawful intercept target and issues commands to initiate bridge endpoints in a lawful intercept media router (LIR) for transmitting RTP data. The LIR receives the bridge endpoint commands and provides duplicates of RTP data packets associated with the subscriber transmitted through the endpoint for transmission to a delivery function.
|Routing Method for Mobile Wireless Nodes Having Overlapping Internet Protocol Home Addresses - In mobile IP wireless data networking, methods are described for correctly routing packets through a foreign agent to or from wireless nodes where the wireless nodes have the same home network IP address. Instead of using normal IP routing, the foreign agent uniquely identifies the wireless node's home network IP address and home agent IP address with a PPP link address associated with a PPP link between the foreign agent and the wireless node. This association between PPP link addresses, home agent IP addresses, and home network IP addresses, is preferably implemented in software as a table stored in the foreign agent. The routing of packets through the foreign agent to the mobile nodes is performed by reference to the table. The table allows the foreign agent to correctly and efficiently route packets in the situation where multiple wireless nodes are registered with the foreign agent, but more than one of the wireless nodes have the same home network IP address.
|Device for Implementing a RNC Using LVDS - A device for implementing a RNC is provided with an interface interfacing between sub-systems of a system for the RNC. The interface uses cross duplication dualizing interfacing method. In the device of the present invention, the data transmission between the sub-systems is performed in the form of LVDS signals converted from ATM UTOPIA data. Further, the active pass link of two interfaces is switched, while outputs are transmitted from the active pass link to two interfaces.
|IP BASED LAWFUL INTERCEPTION AT THE SOURCE - A system and method for lawful intercept of call content incorporates a control element receiving subscriber information as a lawful intercept target and issuing a media forking command to a media transfer element transmitting RTP data. The media transfer element receives the media forking command and provides duplicates of RTP data packets associated with the subscriber transmitted through the media transfer element for transmission to a delivery function. The media forking command is an attribute in an SDP and includes definition of IP addresses for at least one delivery function. An acknowledgement of the forking command from the media transfer element to the control element is provided.

We have fun ways to escape stress. The bar, or any reason to have a few with "friends" is clearly popular. Food and TV – that's a good standby or how about Food, TV and Wine. A healthier version is to knock yourself out at the gym.
These are short-term escapes and some come with baggage.
Usually, escapes don't kill stress. They just move it out-of-the-way for a little bit. Whatever is the cause will certainly materialize again. It's the people in your life; your kids, your spouse, parent expectations, the boss that give your stress staying power. We don't want to let them down. We don't want to fail in their eyes.
It's in times of extreme unbearable stress that we look for a higher power. We want to be saved, we want hope of a future, we want redemption, we want forgiveness.
And, it is possible. Stress is ultimately created through desire and attachment to the things in this world. You DO Not have to become a cloistered monk – and even they are not immune.
Do your work the best you possibly can and at the same time practice detachment. Do not define yourself through your work – rather honor God with it.
Fill your bowl to the brim
and it will spill.
Keep sharpening your knife
and it will blunt.
Chase after money and security
and your heart will never unclench.
Care about people's approval
and you will be their prisoner.
Do your work, then step back.
The only path to serenity. ~ Tao Te Ching 9
Who doesn't want a life full of wealth, independence and joy. We strive to achieve this and provide security and opportunity for our families.
The secret to killing stress is to learn to detach from these pursuits. Continue doing them; don't let them define your value. You are Loved regardless of your status, wealth, or independence; embracing this, believing it, kills stress and provides joy.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.anointest: Heb. makest fat6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Psalm 23
When you reach the point where you can fight no longer, there is no way out – stop and surrender your Self and your Desires to the Lord.
Do your work do your best and then step back. It's all you can do and you are Loved for it.

When I met fine artist Catherine Mulligan at her Northern Liberties studio, I was surprised at how strikingly pretty she is — so different in person from her mesmerizing and unsettling self-portrait featured in the current Women & Biography exhibit at Woodmere Art Museum, currently running through June 1.
For a young woman still in her 20s (she is 27 years old), Mulligan is on a fast track. Her work is in the permanent collections of Woodmere Art Museum and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and she has exhibited in Philadelphia at the Trust Us, Trust Gallery, the Philadelphia Sketch Club, the Acorn Club, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Main Line Art Center and in Harrisburg at the State Museum of Pennsylvania.
Considered one of the rising young stars of the Philadelphia art scene, Mulligan, who grew up in Nutley, New Jersey, comes from an artistic background. Her mother Ellen is a ceramic artist, and her father Gerard Mulligan was a comedy writer for talk show host David Letterman while her older brother Kevin, a philosophy scholar, is eyeing a possible career in academia.
Mulligan, who describes her style as representational, says she is drawn to the inherent dichotomies and contradictions in life that find expression in her art. Her paintings have many emotional layers, as expressed in the complex emotions captured in her self-portrait at Woodmere Art Museum — now part of the museum's permanent collection.
Far from being an accurate physical likeness, her self-portrait captures her shifting and conflicting emotions, "It is a chronicle of me as I age, but it is more about capturing real emotions; so it is about aging and expectations I had about myself as a child and how they seem now. I associate what I am wearing with my childhood.
"There is femininity about it, but it is also kind of stark and grotesque; that kind of contradiction always interested me. So I think the emotion of that self-portrait is kind of sad and troubled, but it is also kind of funny and absurd. I want it to be complex in a similar way where you have this mixed reaction to it."
Mulligan's path as an artist was determined from an early age. "When I was younger, I was a bit shy, and I guess I felt more comfortable expressing myself this way by making things and showing these things to people because making art is a sort of solitary activity."
She continued by taking art classes at the Community Center in Nutley and at 18 moved to Philadelphia to study at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA). In 2009 she got her certificate from PAFA and in 2010 graduated cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.
Her influences are the old masters including Jusepe de Ribera, Constable, Chardin, Rembrandt, Frans Hals and de Hooch. Of the contemporary artists, she likes Julie Heffernan, Sigal Tsbari, Justin Mortimer, Catherine Murphy, Ann Gale and Joan Mitchell.
When she is not painting, Catherine works as a hostess in a restaurant.
Among her awards are: the Hobson Pittman Prize in 2008, the Philadelphia Governor's Award in 2009, the Elizabeth Greenfield Foundation Grant in 2012 and the Maybelle Longstreet Prize in 2013.
Mulligan will be in another juried show at Woodmere Art Museum opening June 14 and a two-person show at the PAFA Alumni Gallery opening in December, 2014. She is represented by the FAN Gallery in Old City.

Dusting my study (a rare occurrence!) I couldn't help admiring my trophies.
In the middle is my award for Favourite Contemporary Romance awarded by the Australian Romance Readers Association for Love is a Four-Legged Word. I was amazed and delighted to win—the winner announcement was one of the most thrilling moments of my life. The award on the right is for the same category in last year's awards for Home Is Where the Bark Is. I really couldn't believe that I'd won two years in a row. The winning of these awards is all the sweeter for the fact that my Berkley Sensation novels are not readily available in Australia.
Perhaps even more thrilling is that the Awards are on again tonight and I am a finalist in the Favourite Contemporary Romance category for my indie-published e-book The Castaway Bride. This book is an Amazon bestseller and was recommended by The Wall Street Journal to its readers. But to final in a competition voted by readers is beyond amazing.
On the left is an award won for my "day job" in publishing. The award for Customer Magazine of the Year is from ACP, the biggest magazine publisher in Australia for the Coles Magazine—a food magazine that is free in Coles supermarkets (Australia). It has a circulation in the millions and is highly successful. The award is to the wonderful editorial team but, as the editor of the magazine, I got to collect it. It has to go back to the office but it's been fun having it on my shelf.
Best of luck to all the finalists in tonight's ARRA awards—I'll be there cheering you on.

Culled and revised jottings from a sermon from Dr. D.K Olukoya. General Overseer of the Mountain of fire and Miracles Ministries.
Sermon Date: Sunday, 29th March, 2015
@ MFM Headquarters, Lagos.
Confronting Your Pharaoh
Today's message is focuses on major forces a man likely to encounter in the Journey of destiny.
Unto every man or woman of destiny, there are seven main spiritual forces you may contend with. In different cases, a person may contend with just one of them or two, there or more. We will list the seven forces and concentrate on one of this force.
There are Forces that have been in existence before now; they are not physically present today, but that spirit at work in several other forms.
Forces that existed in the Old Testament are like shadow; their spirit still manifest in recent times.
For example; there is Babylon in this days but its sprit still exist.
Forces to Contend With in the Journey of Life
1. Spirit of Cain
This is the spirit of household wickedness; the operation of domestic witchcraft.The major problem of the black man is domestic witchcraft; remove this problem form a black man, then then will be very less battle. Some of the people we call family, are the lion's den.
I Pray; May the lion in the den of your family, be silenced in the name of Jesus.
2. Spirit of Herod
This Infant / foundational terminators. The sprit that kills good things from the start.
Pray like this; Powers that kills good things prematurely in my life; die in the name of Jesus.
3. Spirit of Goliath
This are Intimidating and powerful antagonist powers; They represent Fearful enemies.
Pray Goliath confronting, you shall Lovato the frying Graff
4. Spirit of Jezebel
This is the power of the Immorality hook; when the enemy tries everything possible to bring a person down and fails; they throw in the hook of Immorality.
5. Spirit of Absalom
This represent the power of close enemy within the camp.
6. Spirit of Delilah
These powers operate using Sexual and marital error.
As God has made the universe; as a woman, there men that should not even touch you and as a man there are men that should not touch you.
To meet them is tragedy and disaster that you may never recover
Like Samson never recovered from the disaster of meeting Delilah.
7. Spirit of Pharaoh
We will concentrate on operation of this spirit.
"Afterward Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: 'Let my people go, so that they may hold a festival to me in the desert.'" Pharaoh said, "Who is the Lord, that I should obey him and let Israel go? I do not know the Lord and I will not let Israel go." {Exodus 5:1-2}
The descendant of Abraham move to Egypt; they became a great nation and thereafter began to cry to God for deliverance.
The place Egypt is a very unique one; the Egyptians worshipped over 80 gods. They worshipped Frogs, trees, ox, ram, wolf, cat, vulture, cobra, vultures and even Pharaoh himself.
Pharaoh was referred to as a god; He was the chief priest and led the worship on a daily basis.
In our modern age; what does the Spirit of Pharaoh Represent?
Ø It's the spirit of destiny terminators.
Pharaoh instructed that new born babies be killed.
Ø Strong man leading evil army
Ø Spirit that want to recapture you back to Egypt. (Place of bondage).
Ø Represents the Enemies Insulting our God.
Ø Represent Spirit that employees sorcerers, witchdoctors and diviners against us
Ø They are the Spiritual exploiters; they use people to bring gain to themselves.
Ø They are hard Task Master.
Ø They want to determine how far you can go. Pharaoh said, you can't leave, stay here and die.
Ø Represent spiritual stagnancy.
Ø They limit your progress.
Ø They Cages Christian for Christianity. Pharaoh said, at some time; you may go but let you children remain.
I pray; Every power that does not want your children to serve God, shall die in the name of Jesus.
Ø Represent Financial Embargo. They are the power that is saying "NO" to one's progress.
There are times on deliverance ground; some powers will speak out of a person and say; "NO" why should I go out? Were you there when she was dedicated to us?
I pray; Every power saying "NO" to your moving forward shall die in the name of Jesus.
Ø Represent stubborn pursuers.
Ø Represent spirit of destruction.
Ø They Disallow people from going to their promise land
Ø They are Human, physical, environmental factors working against your moving forward
. . . You will get more of this, from the audio CD or book
This is the reason, we sing some Pharaoh-destroying Songs here;
Go and tell Pharaoh; I am that I am!
Goodbye pharaoh goodbye!
I am going to my promise land, Goodbye pharaoh
Goodbye pharaoh goodbye
Pharaoh cannot be begged; cannot be pacified; cannot be appealed to; He only answers to death.
Until the angel of death visited Pharaoh, He did not succumb; until Pharaoh perished in the red sea, He did not relent; Death is the answer to Pharaoh-like Situation
The Backbone of pharaoh
There are some things that strengthens Pharaoh to refuse to let a person go. Though you pray very hard; so many deliverance but there is still not result.
Deal with this things first.
1. When you stubbornly stick to sin
The man at the Pool of Bethsaida, was told to stop sinning after Jesus healed him. The man has been sick for 38 years; sin subjected him to sickness for 38 years.
- Sin keeps a man longer in bondage.
- Sin makes one a permanent deliverance candidate.
2. When evil promissory note on you has been given by your parent
Many people are suffering today because of the promise their parent made in the past.
Most of the time, it is by ignorance but becomes an evil dedication
They think that, they are helping but they put their children in bondage
A lot have been born into parental deficit.
The bondages are legally binding in the spirit realm
You need to pray to cancel this satanic promissory note made on your behalf; Let the angels tear this notes to pieces.
3. When an evil angel has been assigned against you.
There are some people being followed about, to cause trouble, put them into problems. They make businesses not to move forward.
This is the reason, we pray prayers about; every follow-follow powers.
4. When your destiny is considered to be very risky.
Sometimes, the enemy is scared of some destiny; they can see a life might be very successful and start to propagate the gospel or a life to cause problems in the kingdom of hell; so they attack.
5. When you are into multiple evil covenants.
There are a lot that have entered into multiple covenants unconsciously; some visit Native doctor, take Incisions on body, Drink concoction, throw clothes in river. All this cause multiple problems of evil covenants.
Pray this; Every hidden covenants in my life break by the power in the blood of Jesus.
6. When you are under multiple curses.
7. When Property of enemy still in your life.
8. When a Strongman has been assigned to your life.
9. Unconsciously initiated into evil.
10. When you were formerly a satanic agent and they want you back.
11. When your problems is sponsored by ancestral spirit.
12. When you are Living in demonized house.
13. Committed or Committing immorality with agents of darkness.
14. Bearing Evil name.
15. Accommodating abomination in your house or your body.
Way out
1. Repent form every known sin
All sinners are fighting God
2. Carry our spiritual mapping of your family.
What are the popular evil patterns, tragedy and sickness? Some people, in their family, they die at age 25, some 40 and so on.
3. You need to fight
Pharaoh only answers to death
Pharaoh may be Weakened by signs and wonders but only answers to death.
I pray; Every Pharaoh confronting your life, shall die in the red sea in the name of Jesus.

Prayer Points

If autumn is loved for anything, it's its beauty: foliage bursts with bright, fiery colours that provide comfort against chillier temperature. So what better way to celebrate the season than to bring some of that beauty inside? Add warmth to your bedroom this season by taking some design cues from mother nature—here's how.
Take a Seat; Chairs & Poufs
For some of us, just a bed isn't enough for lounging in comfort. If you have the space, consider introducing an accent chair this season. The Harriet accent chair has a sophisticated and classic design. And despite its sophistication, it's not stuffy: its cushions are designed for comfort. We specifically love the brown version for a fall bedroom.
Those with more colourful rooms may be interested in a Veracruz ottoman. This pouf-style ottoman is fun in shape and colour; in fact, its woven texture and warm colours make it a perfect addition to a fall bedroom. Whether you want to kick up your feet or sit down to try on shoes, the ottoman is sure to please.
Customize Your Surfaces
The tabletop is where you can really customize the design of your bedroom. Whether placed on a dresser surface, nightstand or book shelf, these tchotchkes and accessories will help you embrace the season's beautiful colour palette. The Castello Lantern has a somewhat rustic design that looks cure on a dresser—and adds a warm glow to the evenings. It's available in three sizes, so you can display a handful to play with height and contrast.
The Keaton Street gold serveware collection by Kate Spade expertly matches the season with its gilded finish. In fact, the serve tray is the perfect surface for placing the lantern mentioned above—but you can place any little tchotchkes, jewellery and more.
And while fall welcomes the colder climate, there are still several perennial flowers that bring beauty to the season. When stocking your room with vases, you can invite the natural beauty of the season indoors. We love the simplified look of this abstract vase from Torre and Tagus. For something a little more nostalgic, try this village-shaped three-piece planter from Abbott of England.
Add Some Art
Speaking of beauty, add some artsy items that capture the energy and colour palette of fall. This Rose Gold Shades painting offers an organic, hypnotic shape that puts the mind at ease with its warm colours. If you favour three-dimensional trinkets to decorate your room, try a gilded sculpture or decorative ball by Torre and Tagus.
Final Touches
When it comes to form and function, you can't go wrong with a folding screen. Its exotic, wood design goes well with the season. It's perfect for when you want to divide sections of the room, such as designating a space for getting dressed. Speaking of getting dressed, no room is complete without a mirror. The geometric shelf mirror gives you a place to leave small items that are essential to getting ready for the day. Its warm, wooden frame will look beautiful from fall into the winter.

In 1898, as French-Jewish army officer Alfred Dreyfus languished behind bars in solitary confinement after a botched misrepresentation of justice that saw him court-martialed for treason on account of his Jewish background – preeminent novelist and playwright, Emile Zola sprung to his defense with his seminal and jarring letter of accusation, splashed on the front pages of influential Paris daily, L'Aurore.
J'accuse! – I Accuse!
Simple yet powerful, Zola laid bare the gross miscarriage of justice and incessant antisemitism sweeping the Republic that endangered the very tenets and democratic values that post-Napoleon France claimed to epitomize.
And now, mere days after terrorists, French citizens purporting to act in the name of Islam, killed 12 at the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine and then an additional 4 at a Jewish supermarket, the durability of French, nay European democracy is once more coming into question.
But this was not an isolated event. The pressure cooker was boiling for a while, and it was only a matter of time before it burst:
Europe's fast growing Muslim minority has alarmed politicians and laypeople across the continent; for their rigid and conspicuous refusal to integrate into society, for importing Islamic antisemitism and for exporting young and healthy men and women to man the Islamic State's front lines in Syria and Iraq, among other things.
Therefore, in the spirit of the times and less than a day after the end of last week's terror spree, J'accuse – I accuse.
I accuse the the French government of completely failing its Jews.
Instead of beefing up security in heavily Jewish neighborhoods (especially in the wake of the 2012 Toulouse attack) and taking an effective hardline stance against extremist imams and suspected Islamist terrorists, France, like most of Europe, is paralyzed by overt political correctness and does not dare offend the religious sensibilities of its increasingly radicalized Muslim minority, even at the expense of the security of it's own citizens.
If and when France's 400,000 strong Jewish community dwindles to a handful in the coming years, the blame will rest first and foremost with the France's leaders.
I accuse the media of shallow, populist reporting, pandering to soapified political correctness and a strikingly oblivious misrepresentations of the facts.
We have another 4 dead Jews whose blood is being wiped as we speak from the floor of the supermarket where they went to do pre-shabbat shopping. Killed of course, because they were Jews, and not because they drew an offensive picture of the prophet Muhammad.
Judging by the coverage of the attack, hidden behind titles such 'kosher supermarket raid' and 'second siege' one could assume that the perpetrators only had beef with the kosher food on sale at store – and not the Jews inside.
And indeed, Jewish blood could not be cheaper, when a slew of opinion articles posted in FP, US media outlets and the Guardian quickly rush to paint France's 5 million strong Muslim 'minority' as the real victims in the entire story with pre-programmed knee-jerk condemnations of any perceived Islamaphobia that might result in the future.
Who are the victims? Who are the perpetrators?
I accuse France's Muslim community, of not doing enough to distance themselves from the fundamentalists within their fold, and not doing enough to prevent the radicalization of their youth.
Of course, there does exist a hostile atmosphere against Europe's Muslims. Some of it is unwarranted, and castigating individual Muslims for the actions of their co-coreligionists is wrong and hypocritical.
However it's no coincidence that after attacking the Charlie Hebdo offices – a symbol of Western ideals and free speech – the terrorists went straight for a Jewish deli during its busiest hour.
As a community, Muslim laymen, leaders and figureheads must come out en-masse to condemn the actions of those who they claim have 'hijacked' the Islamic faith and those who kill in their name and in the name of their prophet.
For if they don't, not only will their silence be deafening.
No, such silence can only be interpreted as tacit approval and thus, indirect culpability for the actions that we witness today – actions which will probably become more violent and spectacular in the coming years.
I accuse for all those whose blood cries out from the violence of the past few days, and for all those whose blood is yet to spilled in the name of radical Islam.

Except when it is this pretty.
I bought a couple of Orla Kiely pillowcases (on sale! I would never pay $80 for pillowcases, but $10, why, sure, thank you, Mr Myer!) and while I love them, it was actually the packaging that first caught my eye. I need to come up with some way of reusing this sweet little box.
I had planned on doing something with it over the weekend, as I had planned to do many other things (go out for yum cha, clean out the bathroom cabinet, have a sleep on the grass) but, alas, none of those were to be. I did get to go out for a few hours on Saturday night and catch my brother-in-law's gig in Newtown though. Super fun! And eating a meal out after 8:30pm while having a glass of wine was way novel.
Aside from that, I watched the Royal Wedding, we started the little man on rice cereal yesterday, I listed some stuff for sale on Ebay (more to come this week. I'm trying to keep up on my "Get rid of five things a week" challenge but it's, well, challenging) and I've been brainstorming craft projects and homemade gift ideas for Mother's Day and my nieces and nephews birthdays.
I hope you all had wonderful weekends?
Meat-free Monday coming up a little later. x

Initiated in 2008 with an alliance of banks, retailers and manufacturers, the Natural Security standard defines an authentication method that can be used wherever a transaction takes place. Natural Security offers convenience, speed and security, for both face to face and online transactions while at the same time guaranteeing privacy for end users and protection of their personal data. The standard combines the use of:
- A secure element to store the data necessary for authentication of its owner and secure applications;
- Mid-range communication technology to avoid handling the device that contains the secure element;
- Biometry, a wilful act by the user to approve a transaction.
The standard is based on specifications that are:
- Developed independently from technologies and technology providers;
- Accessible by all industry players;
- Based on business needs of banks, retailers and services;
- Aligned with the recommendations put forward by the principal agencies specialized in privacy and personal data protection.
The standard is backed by an alliance of players united by a common project: use and adoption of the standard, as well as leading an ecosystem of solutions based on this standard. This alliance unites players from the sectors of banking and retail, solution manufacturers and providers, test laboratories and certification bodies.

May, Manchester – Manchester's Mr Scruff is set to return to Old Granada Studios to celebrate 17 years of his Keep it Unreal residency. The event will be the second time that Scruff has performed at the iconic venue following a sold-out NYE special.
17 years ago, back in June 1999 at Planet K, the launch party took place for Scruff's album of the same name. Following a 10-year stint at the Music Box, his monthly Keep it Unreal night has been based at Band on the Wall for the past 6 years
Friday June 3 will see Mr Scruff joined by special guest Francois K at Quay Street's iconic venue.
Together, the DJs will roll up their sleeves to serve up a 6 hour DJ session that offers a unique mix of jazz, soul, techno, dub, disco, hip hop, afrobeat, latin, funk, electro and plenty of tunes that don't fit into any category. Those attending the studios should expect a fantastic sound, a lovely and mixed crowd along with a great atmosphere.
Scruff promises to celebrate in style: "Old Granada Studios is an amazing venue, with top-notch acoustics and we have an incredible set lined up. I'm really looking forward to having Francois K join me. He has had his fingers in many musical pies since he started drumming along to Walter Gibbon's DJ sets in NYC in 1975. Suffice to say the man knows a bit about music! I have DJed at his Deep Space in NYC a number of times, so it is high time I returned the favour and invited him to my night in Manchester."
This will be episode3 for studio operators, Sparklestreet, who are responsible for delivering an exciting range of events at Old Granada Studios over the coming months. Events that have already taken place this year include a secret gig with Kendrick Lamar and Reebok, with Manchester favourite DJ Yoda also set to return to the studios this summer.
People will be able to stay up-to-date in the lead-up, and follow the action on the night using the hashtag below.

I am still really working hard on coming up with train themed snacks. This is a tough one. I decided to incorporate the railroad crossing signs. I searched the Internet once again for graphics and found a traditional railroad crossing sign.
I picked up some party picks and glued on my printed signs. Strawberries, grapes, and cheese squares were stuck on the sticks and my signs were simply glued to the top.
The next easiest snack option was train sandwiches. I decided to make peanut butter and turkey and cheese sandwiches cut out with a train cookie cutter. I found sets of ten small white bags at the dollar store and decorated them to look like old luggage with pictures and stickers. "Luggage Tags" were tied on to display the sandwich descriptions.

So excited to duplicate some of your ideas! I have two little boys a year apart in age. They both still love trains so for their 3rd and 4th b-day party we are (I think) going to a train museum. I have been struggling with finding fun food ideas and ways to display it. Thank you for sharing your party with us!ReplyDelete
Love this! Is the fruit in styrofoam. Did you paint that and with what?ReplyDelete

The Emperor's Blades
Brian Staveley
Tor, 2014.
One problem with fantasy settings is lack of reliable communication. This is especially an issue when someone, say an emperor, is assassinated, and his heirs are scattered across the globe.
But then, if such a communication system existed in the Annurian Empire, we wouldn't get to enjoy Brian Staveley's engaging The Emperor's Blades. The Phoenix Comicon guest delivers a compelling, Asian-tinged, debut filled with plenty of action, intrigue and expansive world-building.
The 2014 novel kicks off Staveley's "Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne" trilogy, following the efforts of young Kaden, his brother Valyn and his sister Adare to reclaim the throne of their father, Emperor Sanlitun for their family. The trio are scattered across the country, each set upon a path by their father. Valyn is on a remote island training to become a Kettral, a sort of commando/ninja, the most dangerous members of the Annurian army. Imperial heir Kaden is cloistered in a mountain abbey, training in the secrets of the vaniate, a mental discipline to clear the mind and protect from attack, with the mysterious Shin monks.
Only Adare is in Annur, having assumed the role of Minister of Finance. Although she cannot claim the throne as a woman, intently seeks the murderer of her father, joining her wits with the strength of General Ran il Tornja, the regent holding the throne until Kaden's return.
Much of The Emperor's Blades is dedicated to subtle world-building and a slow ratcheting of tension. Valyn chafes as his military training nears an end, anxious to find out more about the death of his father, while Kaden's spiritual training becomes increasingly brutal and insistent at the hands of the gruff monk Rampuri Tan. Soon Valyn finds himself entangled in seeming attempts on his own life, along with threats against his classmates and a murder amongst the island villagers near his training camp. A mysterious creature is attacking the monks and their flocks and a strange merchant couple has arrived at the monastery and started asking questions as well.
And throughout these tribulations, Adare and Il Tornja are ferreting out the emperor's assassin, with all evidence pointing at the high priest in Annur.
Within these storylines, Staveley does some deft world building. We learn about the history of humanity in Annur, the Gods and the ancient Csestriim, immortal, emotionless humanoids who were destroyed by humans in ages past, without too much reliance on lectures and infodumps.
Eventually Kaden and Valyn's POV's entwine as the threats to both imperial princes move into the open and act in concert. It leads to a breathless conclusion — the tightened perspective drives the story forward with plenty of action,
That said, at some points the story does seem to bog down as the various plot threads unwind. And Adare's POV is barely explored at all, until the pivotal revelation that closes the book.
But despite those quibbles, the deep world building and broad scope, not to mention the refreshingly non-Western culture, make The Emperor's Blades a satisfying debut. The sequel, The Providence of Fire, hit shelves in January. Look for the review coming soon

Photos Taken and Edited by: Verniece Enciso
Partying and gambling. That was the perception I left with on my last visit to Las Vegas about 3 years ago. After staying there for almost 7 days with Ben's family, all we did was go out with his cousins, watch his parents hit the slots, eat at really good restaurants and went to almost all the famous hotels at the strip. I left with no photos to blog or post because all along, I thought that were no photo worthy spots to go to in the city! I was proved wrong when I travelled with 2 bloggers to the city of sin. I guess if you put three passionate bloggers together who are on the haunt for Instagrammable spots, anywhere becomes one! lol :P
While researching on places to go to, I stumbled upon a travel website called KKDAY. They offer curated tours from all the countries you can imagine flying to from riding a hot air balloon in Spain, to a walking tour in the streets of Beijing or even a skip to line entrance ticket to Taipei 101 :) With just a few clicks, you can easily turn your itinerary into a memorable one! We booked 2 tours under their website but we wanted to show you 7 things that you could do in Las Vegas! :)
I never expected Hoover Dam to take my breath away. I thought that there was nothing special about it because well, it's a dam! haha When we drove past it and took a few photos, I was in awed with how big it was! I couldn't believe that it was made by the hands of humans :) Plus it's cool cause you can be at two places at once causes the boarder marker is on the bridge on top it ;) Too bad we didn't get to take a photo!
Instead of turning back to the city after seeing Hoover Dam, drive further and explore the Grand Canyon. KKday made our lives easier because the tour we booked with them took us to two places in just a span of 8 hours. Plus the seats were comfortable, there was free wifi and the tour guide was really funny too! :) The Grand Canyon leaves you speechless. It's a feeling you can explain when you realize how amazing God is as an artist.
This museum is one of the most modern and instagrammable ones we've been to date, No fancy paintings or sculptures here though, just old signages from now closed down hotels that are full of history :) We're warning you though, you pay 20 dollars to enter the very small museum and an escorted guide to go with it. The big BUT is, if your main purpose was to take photos, you will have very little time to because they're very very strict. A group of marshals are literally watching your every move and if you slow your pace down a little from the group to sneak in a photo, they'll call your attention right away. To be honest, it's a place we won't go back to after the first visit.
Even with all the things to do and take photos of, we are very sure that your trip to The Strip is going to be the highlight of your trip! :P If you've just turned 21 or over 21, go to atleast one club to get a full experience :) Have a glass of the famous Fat Tuesdays, eat at one of Gordon Ramsey's restaurants or just tour around taking photos in hotels!
The Valley of Fire is an hour and 30 minutes away from Las Vegas. According to Verniece (I didn't go because of the heat lol), it's worth driving up there but the heat will kill you. With only a 5 minute hike, the view will wow you already! Just make sure to bring water, a umbrella, sunblock and wear comfortable closed shoes especially if you go during the summer. Also, don't forget to bring a camera because that's all you'll really do there :P
Freemont Street is a part of Downtown Las Vegas that was just recently transformed into in a tourist hub. People usually just go for photos and it's funny what the digital age can do to places. It's filled with graffiti and beautifully designed cafès and hotel exteriors :) Again, don't forget to bring your camera!
We booked this experience through KKDay again and it is the highlight of our trip. It was my first time riding a helicopter and it makes you nervous then overwhelmed then really really happy all in a span of just 10 minutes! hahaha The ride's short but worth every penny :)
If you have any other places you can suggest that we missed here on this list, let us know by commenting below! Would love to visit it the next time we go ;)

Death of a Wine House
Posted by JP Feed
Does her death come as a surprise to anyone? Not to disrespect the significance of dying but I'm pretty sure everyone saw this coming. Reports state that before her passing she was wobbling on stage during her tour and drunkenly shouting out support for a young teen protegé. It is sad to see such self-destruction (pardon the alliteration) because it can be so easily avoided by keeping a clear head. It never ceases to amaze me how people who are given such promise and wealth throw their lives away while were here just happy to be alive.
Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler,
and whoever is led astray by it is not wise.
—Proverbs 20:1
