A Blog by MAP CEO, Dan Mobbs
So, first of all, let's understand mental health like we understand physical health. Physical health covers a lot of ground. When I'm really ill and in bed for a week with the flu (not man flu – real flu) – I know that's about my physical health. When I'm thinking about whether to have an extra biscuit – I know that's about my physical health. But with mental health we haven't yet got this worked out. If I'm in bed for a week with depression – that's mental health. If I'm thinking about everything I have to do and feeling stressed – that's mental health. That's why we need to think about it broadly. It includes everything from emotional wellbeing to enduring mental illness. We know what good physical health is, let's think about good mental health.
Young people need good mental health as a basis to be able to learn, achieve – follow their dreams, create aspirations, go for it. Without it, everything is much more difficult. Without self-belief, self-esteem, optimism, joy, things feel a lot harder to achieve. Talents are held back.
And if you have a bad start in life the barriers grow. A child whose parents can't provide warmth, love, who doesn't develop secure attachments, may feel insecure. They could be drawn in to "he said, she said" or feel isolated, angry or on edge. It's much harder to concentrate at school or even to dream about the future. Without emotional security we can feel like we're blowing in the wind.
We need support. We need places to explore emotions, learn communication, learn how to regulate, understand what's happening. And without support, it's very hard to change. Being criticised, punished, excluded because you find it hard to manage your feelings just creates bigger problems – bad mental health. Being excluded from school means you are seven times more likely to end up in prison. Society can't afford this. And then you grow up and become a parent yourself. If you don't have your own good mental health it's harder to pass that on to your children. You may be full of love for your child but need support to create the emotional security you want for them. This can be exhausting – and massively rewarding.
We can't afford bad mental health. So many challenges for young people are about emotional wellbeing. Sexual health, drugs/alcohol, online abuse, bullying, relationships, unplanned pregnancy, aggression, crime. Having good mental health puts you in a strong position to deal with these challenges and take control of your life.
For us at MAP this is relational work. Providing consistent support based on purposeful therapeutic relationships – counselling, mentoring, informal education. Someone to go back to. Someone to encourage, challenge, understand you. This is not novel but it is skilful, evidence based. It is human. It is not apps. It is not ground breaking, cutting edge, new, exciting. Novel ideas are often emotionally immature! And us folk who work like this, to improve emotional wellbeing with the young people, we need to be dedicated to our own good mental health. This is emotionally mature. Recognising our own mental health needs – providing support, supervision, and training. We need to focus hard on this.
Good mental health is our foundation for life. Investing in it leads to good returns.

The region's unique geology and microclimates allows each of the 24 authorized grape varieties to reach its fullest expression in these soils. Bringing together a small community of 2,200 (young) winemakers families, 25 cooperative cellars & 380 private ones, the sunniest region of France produced close to 16 M gallons in 2016. With its unique patchwork of micro-terroirs, Roussillon offers a diverse range of wines in all colors (15 PDOs & 3PGIs) including dry still wines and Vins Doux Naturels (Fortified Sweet Wines). Exports figures to the US market in volume are constantly increasing in the last few years (+166% in volume between 2010 and 2016). In 2016 the US represented 13% of Roussillon exported volumes. The United States is now the third largest export market (in volume) for dry wines in the world and the first export market for Fortified Sweet Wines outside the EU.

Hemp Soaps
Most everyone knows what hemp is. It is a very versatile plant that people make wonderful things out of...rope, yarn, oil, brownies (ahem...), lotions and soaps too. The oil has a distinctive nutty sweet fragrance and it is very good for your skin as well. So, I've decided that I would make some soaps out of this very versatile oil.
If you have any experience with handmade soap, you already know how great the stuff is. You probably also know that soapmakers all over the world vie for your attention in making bright, beautiful, one of a kind soap in various colors and fragrances. The possibilities seem endless. I am also one of those soapmakers that would like for you to say, "Wow! Soapy Blessings is the best there is!" I may be great at some things, not so great in others. My soaps are only limited by my imagination and cost of making the soap itself. If others like it and buy, then I retrieve some of that cost. Otherwise...well, it is the chance all artists take.
Because there are so many options out there to grab your attention to different soaps...tons of colors and fragrances etc, I've decided to try something a little bit different. I made a soap that has NONE of those things! No fragrance except what naturally occurs in the oils; no color except what naturally occurs in the oils.
The result?
NO FRILLS! Soap. It is made with the natural nutty sweet hemp oil which is a very pale green color. I've mixed other oils, including coconut, palm and olive oil to make a well-rounded hard but great on lather soap.
Tired of all the attention grabbing soaps? Try something that is just plain and simple...called NO FRILLS! It will not be available for sale in any of my shops until September of 2008, so stay tuned.
Oh...and for those of you who love all the frills and hemp oil too, I made a hemp oil soap with Cranberry Orange Spice fragrance mixed with a deep cranberry red and vibrant orange. Also not available until September '08.

Jan and Karl Heinrich's alpacas showed up at the Country Music Awards last November. Well, not the animals, but their fleece.
The Heinrichs, who raise Suri alpacas, were asked to provide designer scarves for each CMA presenter as part of a package of locally sourced gifts.
Their 100 percent alpaca scarves couldn't be more local. Not only are the animals raised and sheared every April on the Heinrich's Long Hollow Farm in Gallatin, the fleece is processed and the yarn is packaged at their on-site fiber mill. Jan and Karl recently purchased a new commercial knitting machine, so their scarves and other products are made right there as well.
"Alpaca fleece has the quality of the best merino and the best cashmere," Karl says. "It's warm, it's hypoallergenic and it has a natural luster. Alpaca fleece creates the softest, most supple garments."
Consumers agree, and that means business for the Heinrichs. They are among the growing number of agriculture producers in Tennessee who are making an impact in the fashion industry. At Long Hollow Farm, they do more than process the wool from their 140 Suri alpacas. They process alpaca fleece into yarn for alpaca breeders from Alaska to Florida.
"In the world of alpaca fiber, Jan and Karl are queen and king," says Van Tucker, CEO of the Nashville Fashion Alliance (NFA). "We are so proud of the work they're doing not just within our community but across the country."
Tucker says the Heinrich's business represents the kind of ingenuity and creativity you can expect from Tennessee farmers. "Fashion begins in the dirt," she says. "That's true for raising alpacas or for the growth of fiber, whether cotton, hemp or flax. Tennessee also has young, passionate farmers who are carving out new areas in the fashion industry."
She mentions Nashville farmer Will Tarleton's work in the development of hemp as a fiber for apparel. Sarah Bellos of Goodlettesville is another visionary farmer Tucker praises. Bellos is growing indigo for denim dying and working with Tennessee tobacco farmers to help them convert their fields to indigo beds.
Fashion Forward
It's the kind of forward thinking the NFA is determined to support. They provide emerging designers and fashion start-ups with the resources to create successful and growing businesses.
"The Nashville area has the largest concentration of independent fashion companies per capita outside of New York and Los Angeles," Tucker says. "Two-thirds of NFA members are not designers but rather are in the trades. They're farmers and fiber companies and textile mills, and we're dedicated to creating the support network for fashion companies to grow, thrive and become solid employers."
As NFA members, the Heinrichs can vouch for that. They currently employ six full-time staff in their operation. One is a designer who trained at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and was attracted to Tennessee because of its growing reputation as a destination for creative designers.
What does that fashion-forward future look like? A report recently released by the NFA sees potential for phenomenal growth in the start-up fashion scene. They project that such businesses could generate up to $9.5 billion in economic impact and employ 25,000 workers in Tennessee by 2025.
Tucker says farmers are sure to be an integral part of that growth. "Any farmer will tell you that the supply chain is changing very fast, especially in the fiber business," she explains. "The greatest advantage in Tennessee is that we have a community of people, from farmers to designer-led brands to textile mills, who are willing to come together to creatively solve problems. Together, we're committed to building a new model for the fashion industry. We don't want to be New York or Los Angeles. We're Nashville. We believe our region belongs on the fashion map, and we're here to make that happen."

A couple years ago I read an article about why relationships are so important for authors. I'd heard this many times before, but ignored it every time. But for some reason, two years ago I finally believed it. When I did, it changed my life and the trajectory of my writing career. I decided to go to conferences, meet people, and learn about the business. Eventually, it led to the WRITER 2.0 Podcast and the release of my first novel, THE ANONYMOUS SOURCE.
In this brief episode, I announce the WRITER 2.0 Facebook Group—an online coffee house of sorts, where listeners, guests, and others will gather to discuss the craft and business of writing, learn from each other, and support each other.
Of course, it's 100% free and always will be. Please check it out here if interested.
Over the next month, I see this community growing into a wonderful online destination for serious writers who are also serious about being authors. Come join the conversation.
To send comments or questions, find me on Facebook, Twitter, or email me at podcast(at)acfuller.com. And remember, emailed questions can come either as text or as MP3 audio files, which I will drop directly into the show.

When I first heard the concept behind Easilengths Hair Extensions was that the extensions were taped in, I seriously thought to myself that it would never work. Yes, sometimes we get set in our ways and tend to only work with products that are familiar to us.
Speaking as someone who not only has worked with several different types of hair extensions, but who has also worn them for several years now, all I can say is that even though I was quite skeptical at the beginning I was proven wrong! I am obsessed with them. Not only am I obsessed with them, but my clients are too.
Now what is it that I love about them? Well, one of the main things that I love about them is that they are quick and easy, hence the name Easilengths. I was in love with the fact that I could provide such a service in half the amount of time that it would normally take me with the strand by strand systems that I was used to working with.
I also love the coverage and fullness of the Easilength Extensions. I have to admit that I was quite hesitant because I didn't know if I was going to get the same coverage and fullness with this system as I was with other extensions. The answer to that was yes. I didn't have any issues with the spaghetti noodle-looking strands which was AWESOME!
Not only do I love them for how quickly I can apply them or remove them, I am super impressed with the quality and construction of the actual extension. This 100% human remy hair is placed on a very thin polyurethane weft so it makes the wearer of extensions comfortable without feeling the bulky bonds, whether it's keratin bonds or micro-link bonds. Most importantly, they don't require any heat or chemical for the application or removal, so this works wonders for women with over processed or thin hair.
The beauty of the Easihair is that it is actually constructed for women with fine thin hair, meaning they are constructed to be so light that your hair is in no danger of getting ruined or damaged by the extension. Granted, as with any type of hair extensions there is maintenance that needs to be done at home. But if they are taken care of properly then there would be no reason for the tangling or the matting that can occur. Needless to say, I'm hooked on Easilength hair extensions for myself and my clients.
Having been behind the chair for many years, I have built an amazing relationship with my clients. I make their happiness and satisfaction my number one priority, and one of the ways I ensure their happiness and satisfaction is to work with the best of the best when it comes to products. I could never provide a service with a product that I myself don't believe in or like. So, once again, I go back to my Easilengths.

After four explosions rocked the second most important city, the western Indian state government of Maharashtra woke up to the security needs of the state. The government on Sunday announced more security for four important religious places in the state.
The religious shrines that have given more security cover include Shirdi in Ahmednagar district, probably the richest shrine in India after Tirupathi Tirumala in Andhra Pradesh; Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai, the financial capital of the country; Vitthal Temple at Pandharpur and Mahalaxmi Temple at Kolhapur. According to local news reports, deployment of security personnel at these temples has been increased
The state government had told the legislature last month that 12 religious places in the state are on the terror radar. The decision to beef up the security came after Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan and Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde held discussions with the senior police officers and investigating agencies at Pune on Saturday. Both the leaders refused to reveal anything about the direction in which investigation is heading.
Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar held discussions with the police officials on Sunday and took stock of the investigations. He told media persons, "The state government has decided to give Rs 30 Crores ($ 5,380,683) to install CCTV cameras in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad. The municipal corporations of these cities as well as local public representatives will chip in with contribution for that. The work is expected to be complete in one month."
CM Prithviraj Chavan held a meeting of the officers investigating the incident for about an hour. He faced the media later but refused to divulge any details. "The matter is still under investigation. We can not speak whether it is a terrorist attack or not nor can we it was a mischief. Forensic report is yet to come. We will tell you once the report comes," he said.
Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde also visited the city, the first after he assumed the charge of his office. Speaking to media, he said, "Whatever may be the intensity of explosions or casualties, I would like to make it clear that central government has taken this incident very seriously. Ever since the blasts have taken place, all central and state agencies are on investigation. We will reach to its logical end very soon but before that nothing can be said. No possibility can be ruled out regarding the blasts."

On 12 March 2009, the Press Complaints Commission ruled that The Daily Star had breached the Editor's Code with a story implying Peaches Geldof was a hooker. The front page headline was: Peaches: Spend night with me for £5k (story removed but you get the idea).
The ruling reads that 'the newspaper made a number of non-specific claims about the complainant being paid for "her company" and for her "services"'. The continuation on page 5 was headlined "Hire Geldof babe or her pal for just £5k a night" and was accompanied by photographs of Ms Geldof at a lingerie shoot.
The implication of all that is pretty clear and the Daily Star and everyone who reads it, knows that.
The actual story was in fact that she was being paid £5000 to show up to parties, although she says that was money for DJ-ing.
The Star put its correction on page 2 ("We also apologise to Peaches for the implication in the headline that she provided services of a personal or sexual nature for the payment of a fee") but is that enough for a front page screamer story published in Sept 08, five and a half months before?
This is, however, just the latest in a long line of Star front page headlines which are not justified by the story.
Go back to 10 Feb 2008 and see the front page splash 'Del Boy is dead'. Again, the implication of the headline is clearly the death of David Jason. The actual story - John Sullivan isn't going to write any more Only Fools and Horses - is rather different, and although the headline is in that (rare) case accurate, it's not what you expect.
On 8 May 2008, it was at it again with Gazza dead and gone for good. This oddly worded headline would still leave anyone thinking Paul Gascoigne was dead. In fact, his daughter Bianca had wanted to get on the front page in her underwear (sorry, reveal her dad's tragic plight) and revealed: her stepdad will never again be the prankster who won the hearts of fans all over the world. The former England star is seriously ill with depression, and Bianca admits his family is powerless to help him. In other words: not dead.
Come December, and the mind-boggling fascination the Star has for reality TV, it had almost daily splashes about I'm A Celebrity.
18 Dec - Jungle sex in shower shock. Shocking indeed that some z-grade slebs had been having sex in the showers on a reality TV show.
Here's the first four lines of the story: The jungle stars are steaming up the camp with their X-rated shower exploits. And show bosses say the contestants – including Page 3 girl Nicola McLean – are set to turn I'm A Celebrity into a "sex fest". Producers are enticing the stars to get wet 'n wild by pumping hot water into the showers instead of the usual cold. The move has already produced some naked scenes that were too hot to be screened.
Two things stand out about this. One, there hasn't been any sex or steamy exploits. Two, there is no sane person on earth who would think that a broadcaster with ratings-grabbing 'naked scenes' would decide not to show them.
22 Dec - Celebs naked jungle romp. Pretty much implies the same story as before. Here's the first few lines: JUNGLE celebs including hot Page 3 babe Nicola McLean were last night gearing up for an X-rated sex fest in the shower. One of them has already stunned campmates by going starkers for a steamy soapdown. I'M A CELEBRITY bosses have had to cut sizzling sex scenes from our screens because the horny stars cannot keep their hands off each other.
So there's that 'too steamy to show' bullshit again. Of course, by using that excuse, they can claim that practically anything has happened and hide behind that for why viewers will never actually see it. But of course, it hasn't happened. 'Gearing up for an X-rated sex fest' makes clear it hasn't happened. And as for 'going starkers for a steamy soapdown' - that's basically getting naked to wash in the shower. How shocking.
Guess what? The next day we had 'Jungle sex for Simon'. Now this isn't just random claims of general romping, this is a named person having had sex. This one must be true. Here goes:
THREESOME-LOVING singer Simon Webbe is heading for a jungle showdown with his angry pop star lover. We can reveal he took part in a steamy suds and splashing session with sexy WAGs CARLY ZUCKER and NICOLA MCLEAN. And the action was judged too hot for viewers and was binned by telly chiefs.
Now, I don't know in what universe 'suds and splashing session' equals sex, but that suggests there are some deeply repressed people at the Star. Once again the footage has been banned (what a surprise...) and another lurid headline revealed to be completely untrue.
The very next day the Star went for three cheap, titillating and false stories in a row. What a record. The story appears to have gone from the Star site, but after jungle romps and threesomes, lesbianism was the only way to go. Of course, no such 'lust' ever happened. And if it had, it would have been banned etc etc.
And on and on it went. And when it got bored of I'm A Celebrity it went on to Britney. The front page story Britney live sex show shock on 3 Dec 08 was eye-catching indeed. The first line: BRITNEY Spears put on a live TV sex show yesterday in a desperate bid to win back fans after her X Factor fiasco. OK, that sounds like it's backing up the headline. Let's read on. The troubled singer delivered her raunchiest ever performance dressed as a sexy ringmaster. Just about with you still, what else? She pulled out all the stops with a saucy set live on the top US breakfast show, Good Morning America, which you can watch above.
Umm, what? A live sex show on Good Morning America? Are you sure? Handily there's a link to the video of the performance, now embedded on the website story page. And what do you get? Frankly, an all too typical song (mime) and dance routine by a half dressed young female pop star. Well, that's certainly front page news, isn't it?
Now all this may seem rather frivolous, but the problem is, the Star keeps doing it and they keep getting away with it. And it's not just on their sleb stories.
Take 'Muslim plot to blow up Eastenders' (again, removed because of a complaint, but can be read here - site not recommended, but gives a good idea of how quickly a false story can become spread all over numerous vile blogs). A Muslim character on Eastenders was shown breaking his Ramadan fast, and this (apparently) led to complaints on a Muslim forum.
Several things to note. One, how the hell do you 'blow up' something that doesn't actually exist? Two, how the hell do anonymous posts on an unnamed blog become sources for a front page 'news' story? Three, how the hell do we know that these comments haven't been posted by Star journos looking for a Muslim-bashing story?
Four, read the comments. There is no 'threat' to 'blow up' anything. Even if you accept the comments as genuine, it's just loud mouths sounding off online, which anyone can do these days (yes, including me!). It seems there was a complaint to the PCC, and a correction published by the Star (On October 3 we reported that bloggers had threatened to "blow up EastEnders" after postman Masood Ahmed had broken his Ramadan fast. While the online posts included a threat of the "ultimate sacrifice", we accept that they did not specifically contain a bomb threat) but that appears to have taken around 5 months to appear.
If the PCC had any balls at all, it would try and put a stop to this behaviour of misleading front page headlines. There's no point accusing the Star of 'sloppy journalism' (yeh, newsflash!) as the PCC do in the Peaches Geldof ruling, because that 'sloppiness' is entirely intentional to make these innuendos. You don't really expect anything better from the Desmond papers, and while they keep selling them to gullible passers-by, they'll just keep on doing it.
Sorry for the long post. Rant over!

What do you do when you suffer water damage to your home, part 2? By now you have mitigated your damages by making temporary repairs. If you don't know what mitigation is read my prior blog on this topic. Now you need to contact the insurance company and notify them of the insurance claim if you have not already done so. This is called providing notice to your insurance company. Most insurance policies require policyholders to notify their insurance company of any losses as soon as possible. Don't just sit on your claim figuring that you can notify the insurance company whenever you want. Do it asap. Pick up your phone and call your insurance company and tell them what happened. And document the claim number that is going to be provided to you, the date that you reported the claim, and get the name of the person you spoke to. You can get the phone number for the insurance company from your insurance policy documents or from your insurance agent. But don't rely on your insurance agent to call the insurance company for you. Call yourself. This will avoid a problem when your insurance agent forgets to report your claim because he is busy making money selling policies to other callers. You are already probably going to have your hands full with the insurance company, even when you have mitigated your damages and given prompt notice. Do you really want to compound your claim by giving your insurance company another reason to not pay your claim? The answer is no, obviously. So report your claim immediately, do it yourself, and record the claim number, the date that you reported the claim, and who you spoke to.

SEATTLE – Not long after putting the final touches on his long-awaited home debut Sunday night, Clint Dempsey was greeted on the turf at CenturyLink Field by one of the main men who brought him back to Major League Soccer.
Sounders part owner Joe Roth – the Hollywood film mogul who pushed the multi-million dollar deal to land Dempsey with all the subtlety of a summer blockbuster – approached his new leading man with a two dollar bill emblazoned with Dempsey's face on the back, smack dab over the depiction of the signing of a Declaration of Independence.
They call it the "Deuce Dollar" in Seattle, and Dempsey earned his pay the hard way during the Sounders' 1-0 win over the Portland Timbers on Sunday night.
Thrown into the starting lineup for the second straight game, Dempsey logged a full 90 minutes in front of a full-throttle crowd of 67,385 fans, all of whom were waiting for the first tantalizing sign that the Sounders' summer shopping spree was well spent. Though Dempsey failed to score for the third straight game since his MLS return, his hardy shift against a Portland Timbers team clearly intent on pounding him proved he's not far off from full fitness or from finding his midseason form.
"I'm happy with the way things are going," Dempsey said. "I feel like I'm getting stronger every game in my fitness and the quality of my touches, and the looks I'm getting. I think it's just a matter of time before it starts falling in the net for me."
Dempsey was pesky much of the second half as the Sounders asserted themselves in the match, and nearly scored in the 75th minute with a thudding header of a Mauro Rosales corner kick. That look – which was cleared off the goal line by Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri – was Dempsey's best of the night, but he had others. He watched his left-footed shot tipped wide of the post by Timbers goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts in the 80th minute, connected on an audacious but unsuccessful bicycle kick in the 84th and attempted a flying scissor kick inside the Timbers box in the 70th minute that left the crowd aching for more.
"He's going to try stuff," said Sounders midfielder/defender Brad Evans, Dempsey's teammate on the US national team. "He's going to try the flicks, try the behind-the-back pass. It's getting used to that, it's anticipating, and it's the day in and day out. It's only going to get better."
The Timbers, for their part, seemed comfortable bodying up Dempsey nearly all night in an attempt to slow him down. That strategy was clear from the outset, as Valeri deposited Dempsey on the turf in the 15th minute and defender Andrew Jean-Baptiste put him down again in a collision not much later. Hulking defender Pa Madou Kah hounded Dempsey as long as he could in the second half, and head referee Jair Marrufo warned the two in the 49th minute after they traded elbows off the ball.
Dempsey addressed the game's physicality with typical nonchalance – "it's a man's game, you just gotta keep getting up," he said after – but there was no mistake he took his lumps. After the game Sounders trainers strapped ice bags to Dempsey's right knee and right calf, leaving him looking like a middleweight who'd survived a 12-round bout.
"It was a hard game for him today," head coach Sigi Schmid said. "The stats say he was fouled three times, but I thought he got fouled more often than three times."
Said Timbers head coach Caleb Porter: "We're a hard team. We're a tough team. We're not going to back down, and we've said that all year."
Dempsey, however, shrugged off the idea that he was a target for the Timbers, despite the physical play.
"It's always going to be like that in derby games, when you're playing against your rivals," he said. "Everybody is going to show that they came to play, and at the end of the game I thought we had more quality and we deserved to win."
Next up for Dempsey is another road game – his third since signing with the Sounders – on August 31 against the Columbus Crew. He'll suit up again in front of the Seattle faithful on Sept. 4 against Chivas USA.
"I'm trying to play catch up," he said. "These guys are in midseason form, I'm in preseason. I'm trying to hit the ground running, but I'm feeling good and getting stronger every game."

Though we are hearing different type of reports in nowadays, it appears like the new generation of the popular pickup will can be found in next couple of years, most likely as 2020 Mazda BT-50. This model was greatly based upon Ford Ranger up until now, however this cooperation in between 2 business is close to its end. From the next generation, Mazda will deal with Isuzu. More specifically, it will utilize style services of another popular mid-size truck, D-Max.
At the minute, there are 2 sort of stories that flow on the network. The very first one recommends new Mazda BT-50 be a practically re-badged variation of D-Max. The second situation has to do with Mazda's own styling while keeping Isuzu's mechanics unblemished. In both cases, there is likewise an opportunity to see Mazda's new diesel motor under the hood. The new model ought to can be found in about a year or more.
2020 Mazda BT-50 Redesign
After years of the joint endeavor, Mazda will complete its cooperation with Ford. The very first 2 generations of this truck were carefully associated to another well-known truck, Ford Ranger. This time, Mazda will construct its truck over D-Max. Up until now, we do not understand numerous information about the new model's primary qualities.
Some reports recommend that the new 2020 Mazda BT-50 will be almost a re-badged variation of the popular truck. We will see not just the very same mechanics however likewise the very same styling and interior decoration. The new model will be developed on the very same line as the new D-Max.
On the other side, numerous hope that Mazda will use its gorgeous style language on this truck too. The company is presently in a procedure of restoring the present lineup. There are numerous new models to come and all of them will embrace the brand name's most recent style language, identified by lovely smooth shape, filled with curved lines. The new style language is based upon current Vision and Kai principles and it represents the additional advancement of the popular KODO style viewpoint. In this case, the new 2020 Mazda BT-50 will look much more appealing and friendly, compared to Isuzu's conservative method. Naturally, we will see Mazda's new interior also, which might even bring a lot of new tech features in regards to security and chauffeur's help systems.
2020 Mazda BT-50 Engines
When it concerns engines, we anticipate new 2020 Mazda BT-50 to utilize the exact same systems as D-Max. Probably, this would most likely suggest 2 diesel systems in the deal. Among them might be a 2.5-liter system, which benefits about 160 horse power and uses outstanding performance and fuel economy. Another possibility is somewhat larger, 3.0-liter engine, which is defined by somewhat more power also. It provides around 175 horses. Besides these 2 systems from Isuzu, we might likewise see something from Mazda's lineup.
According to some reports, there is a new diesel system in the advancement, though information are still unidentified. We might see the present 2.2-liter engine in the deal also. Lastly, some reports even recommend one fuel engine in the lineup, which certainly makes good sense.
2020 Mazda BT-50 Release Date and Price
It is still early to speak about some more accurate release date, though numerous reports recommend new generation will be prepared in about 2 years. Because case, we will see the new model most likely as 2020 Mazda BT-50. Essentially, all of it depends upon Isuzu and the length of time the procedure of revamping D-Max will last.
When it pertains to the cost, we are quite sure that the new model will enter a comparable range as the existing model. This would suggest someplace in between 19.000 and 45.000 dollars, approximately, though the cost might differ from market to market. Secret rivals will be models like Toyota Hilux, Chevy Colorado, Ford Ranger, Mitsubishi L200, Nissan Navara and so on.

Based in Much Hadham, Hertfordshire, Chaldean Properties is a privately held property development company that specialises in residential, retail and commercial developments throughout East Anglia and the South of England.
Through applying our specialist 'in-house' knowledge and expertise we are able to identify and secure our own off-market development opportunities.
Having originally focused on the food retail sector and been involved in schemes for Tesco, Aldi and the Co-op, Chaldean has expanded into other forms of development including offices, warehousing and more recently residential.
Our initial entrance to the residential sector was a development of two large executive homes at Much Hadham, Hertfordshire which was followed by a similar type development at Newbury, Berkshire. We have recently been granted planning permission for 7 large detached dwellings, plus 2 retirement bungalows at Sherington in Buckinghamshire with several similar type opportunities being pursued in upmarket rural settlements elsewhere.
Whatever the form of development, our expertise is in identifying the right opportunities that we believe have a realistic chance of deliverability and then taking them forward from their concept through to their completion.
Langley Hall is an extremely attractive listed house which sits centrally in a generous sized garden on the edge of World's End. We have taken considerable care to sensitively refurbish and extend the property to create a substantial family house whilst retaining its charm and many original architectural features. Throughout the property, it is both light and airy and finished to a high standard with neutral decoration throughout.
Having obtained planning permission, Chaldean Properties built this attractive 5 bedroom dwelling within the curtilage of the listed building, Langley Hall. Constructed in red brick and weather boarding, rather than replicate the features of Langley Hall, the design of the house has sought to achieve a subservient appearance, as though an outbuilding or barn within the grounds of a more significant building.
Having taken this former haulage yard through the planning process, our 9 dwelling scheme for which consent has recently been granted, will when completed, represent a significant visual enhancement when viewed from the surrounding open countryside. Our high-quality housing scheme has been sensitively designed to be 'in keeping' with the character of the village in terms of its architecture and landscape.
Chaldean successfully obtained planning permission to knock down some unsightly corrugated storage buildings and transformed the site with a development of two "state of the art" 5-bedroom family homes.
We employed a modern method of construction using Sips panels which ensured the houses have an incredibly high level of insulation, making them very low cost to run.
The owners are absolutely delighted with their new homes, see the testimonial below:
"Louise and I moved into Bromley Farm East in January 2017 and have been delighted with this beautiful property. The design and layout has clearly been very carefully thought through and the finish is of a high quality. Perhaps most importantly, Chaldean have been very easy and straightforward to work with from the start; communication both pre- and post-purchase has always been clear and prompt and any snags identified have been remedied exceptionally quickly and without hesitation"
Purchasers of Bromley Farm East
Location is a fundamental factor in determining where we develop. Being situated close to Great Yarmouth's deep water outer harbour and river port the South Denes Business Park is well located to serving the offshore oil, gas and the vastly expanding renewable energy sector in the Southern North Sea.
Having acquired land from the East of England Development Agency, we obtained planning permission and built the office headquarters and warehouse for Seajacks. The second phase of the business park is now completed with BH Bus Industrial Tools in occupation of their large warehouse and office facility. It is just the third and final phase that remains to be developed.
By applying our specialist 'in-house' retail development knowledge we recognised a gap in the retail market at Marston Moretaine in Bedfordshire. We identified the site, achieved the planning permission and built the retail park ourselves.
This is an example of what we do. That is to identify the right opportunities and taking them forward from their concept through to their completion.

Happy Tuesday! To those of you who returning for more of this series, I do thank you. For those just tuning in, here are links to parts one, two and three–in case you want to catch up!
One more illustration on discipline, control and the idea of giving a kid the opportunity to learn, then I promise I'll let this subject go—after one more post. (If y'all want to deal in it more, feel free to let me know in the comments, via email or on Facebook.)
This example is fresh in my mind, as it took place the week I was getting together this monster of a post, lol. My younger guy—the thirteen year-old I'm giving up for Lent—can be a little inflexible in his thinking and difficult to redirect once he has an idea in his head. I can also tell you, he's typically not nice when he doesn't get his way.
Like his mother, he likes order and visually pleasing spaces. One evening, he wanted to hang a curtain in the doorway between the laundry room and the semi-finished area of the basement where he hangs out to play video games. I hung the brackets for a rod there about 8:30PM and gave him an idea of how to thread the curtain onto a rod. (He got one from my bedroom closet about an hour later.)
I'd just sat down to check email (circa 10PM) when he started calling for help with the curtain rod, which he didn't know how to get onto the brackets. Long story short, he started throwing a typical fit when I told him I'd help him the next day. Rather than react—a.k.a. yell (and please don't ask me where I get this stuff)—I told him he was putting me in the position of being a 'bad parent' if I went down to help him when he was behaving in such a manner. He blustered some more then all got quiet downstairs. Next thing I know, he came up, gave me a hug and said, "I figured it out." (Maybe I'll give him up for only part of Lent.)
See? This post is even shorter. (I think. ;)) Back to your experiences. What's worked for you? What hasn't?
Next time, I'll take this one step further: regrouping and starting your day over after you've really lost it with your kids–probably the hardest thing I've had to do.
Okay, my new mantra of a request: if you like what you read here, would you kindly take a second and click the Facebook, Twitter or any of the share buttons below? (Any others you like that I may not be represented here works as well!) Reblogging is nice too, and helps get word out to others in cyberspace. By working together, we can each get our content and our names out to that many more people. Mega-thanks!
Have an awesome day,

With the introduction of the Recast of the EPBD Directive 2010/31/EU and the search for the Net Zero Energy Building, the use of VIP for retrofitting purposes has great potential to improve energy efficiency and building energy performance for new and existing buildings.
Vacuum Insulated Panels
The use of Vacuum Insulation Panels, VIP is proposed for the A2PBEER project and installations of the external and internal facades are being investigated.
VIPs are commercially available on the market and the insulation materials have excellent thermal conductivity properties, and when considering a high thermal resistance façade system, represent one of the most cost‐effective solutions to maximize the energy saving.
Isoleika®, has been in business since 1974 and have developed ISO-VAC Vacuum insulation panels (VIP's). The ISO-VAC comprises of a micro-porous core with very low thermal conductivity. A vacuum is created by wrapping the core with a metalized film bag.
The insulation thickness is lower in comparison to other systems (30mm instead of 200mm) so this means that the system is easy to install and customized to different building requirements. The use of VIP for retrofitting purposes has great potential in reducing the system's thickness and weight and thereby reducing structural costs.
VIPs are commercially available with excellent thermal conductivity properties with the thermal conductivity of λ=0,005W/mK, and when considering a high thermal resistance façade system, represent one of the most cost‐effective solutions to maximise energy saving. The thermal conductivity relative to other insulating materials is extremely low and the potential for energy savings would be significant.
The graph on the right illustrates the properties of the thermal conductivity of ISO-VAC TM compared to other common insulating wall materials.
External envelope
- VIP panels: nominal size 600x1100mm vip thickness 30mm and rubber 3+3mm
- PVC clip supporting VIP panel with profiled thermal breaks
- Cladding
Internal envelope
- VIP Insulation: thickness 30mm and rubber 3+3mm
- Polythene vapour barrier
- Mineral wool insulation 40mm incorporated within metal studs within free standing aluminium vertical profiles
- 9mm OSB board to be used behind 15mm of plasterboard

Only five games for LeFlore County football teams this Friday with Arkoma having a bye and Quinton forfeiting its game against Talihina.
Panama and Poteau both try to stay atop their respective districts while Spiro opens district play looking for its first win, Heavener visits Eufaula with only 13 players and Pocola tries to hand Gore its first loss.
Poteau (4-0, 1-0) has its toughest game of the year when the Pirates visit Fort Gibson (2-2, 1-0) in 4A-4 play. Both teams took their district openers last week with Poteau winning at Metro Christian and Fort Gibson stomping Stilwell, 63-6.
The two teams currently share the district lead with Broken Bow and Hilldale.
Panama (5-0, 1-0) will have a tough test at home against Valliant (1-4, 0-1). The Bulldogs' record is deceiving as three of the losses have come by a combined nine points.
Valliant lost to Antlers, 26-22, last week while Panama opened district play with a 20-7 win over Hartshorne.
After several players quit this week, Heavener's bid for its first win will be even tougher as the Wolves (0-5) open district play at Eufaula (3-2).
Spiro (0-4) has played four 3A schools in preparation for its district opener. Wilburton's schedule has not been nearly as tough, as the Diggers opened with three Class A foes, although one was Talihina. Wilburton downed Hugo in its district opener last week, 36-22.
Pocola (1-3, 0-1) will try to snap a two-game losing skid when the Indians host Gore (4-0) in the Pirates' district opener. Pocola is attempting to bounce back from a loss to Talihina in the Indians' district opener last week while Gore had a bye.
After snapping a 24-game losing streak last week with a 16-14 win over Bowlegs, Bokoshe (1-3, 1-0) visits Coyle (2-2, 1-0) with the district lead at stake. Midway and Thackerville are also 1-0 in district play.

OK so I'm a little tired of looking at the portrait I have on my easel so the featured image here is of another painting. I've also been reading about the latest SEO techniques (Search Engine Optimisation) so the format is a little different. I've been building Websites for some years and I'm familiar with SEO but things change and I definitely need a little refresher.
I sometimes find images to paint on the Internet. I try not to use images that have been worked on. I often modify them extensively in the painting. In this case I think the painting is pretty close to the original image, close enough that I would love to give a nod to the photographer but sadly there is no metadata in the image and I didn't make note of what Website I pulled it from. Even if I had there might not be any information as to the photographer.
SEO is not for everyone. I'm a bit of a geek so I find it interesting. Since I know how to build Websites I'm a little averse to paying anyone to do it for me and I find it interesting. There is my geeky side again. I view it as a bit of a hobby.
I will continue to look for images on the Internet but for Photographers out there please remember that I can't attach any information about you unless it's in the metadata. Hopefully a search engine will scan this page and pick up that it's about an acrylic painting. This is why I'm writing that it's an old looking rowboat sitting in the water and reflecting a sunset. I could write hundreds of words describing the painting but I just don't see how it is worth it. It's certainly worth taking a few minutes to roughly describe the image so that it might be easier to search.

I was partaking in a little weekend procrastination when I came across this stunning image of these Art Nouveau tiles. Oh, how I would love these to grace my home.
I am always surprised by how uninspiring tiles can be in shops for the home and tend to avoid having them unless necessary, but if they were all as detailed and decadent as these lovely ceramics, then it would be a different story!{Image: 1}

|{{ :projects:eyecando_icon.png?300}} Lack of mobility and communication due to disability can be caused by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, brain injuries and stroke, muscular dystrophy, among others, and seriously limits the personal freedom of patients and can lead to a low quality of life. The progressive loss of independence and connection to the world affects them and their caregivers physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. We develop an eye gaze-based technology built on top of Apple's smart devices (iPad/iPhone) to enable communications for such patients. Through eye movement on the screen, patients can perform all types of communication which are not possible before, such as expressing physical needs, reading, typing to share feelings or thoughts, playing music/video, controlling smart home devices, among others. This will significantly increase the quality of life of the patients, with a commonly available and affordable Apple device.
|We develop an eye gaze based assistive technology EyeCanDo, that enables patients with speaking and muscle movement disability to freely connect to the world, communicate with people through a simple smart device, such as iPhone or iPad. Users will be able to use their eyes to control EyeCanDo app to interact with smart home devices, messaging, speaking, reading, and entertainment. This will increase patients independency and can significantly improve the quality of their life.

Good Evening everyone!
Well, we're finally back to our regular schedule! (Fridays from 7pm-9pm) Lots of exciting things are still in the pipeline coming up. First of all, this week, Erin and Madeline are going to talk a little about our recent trip to Indianapolis for the National Catholic Youth Conference, about how much fun they had, and about some ideas we had there about future events that we might bring back here!
Second, after that, I'm sure we've all see some of the new words starting this week at mass, the new translation is upon us. So we'll spend a few minutes talking about why we have a new translation, what's the big deal, and what's really changed and why.
As we go on through advent, I'd like to do a variety of things. At some point, I'd like to do a Christmas Movie, some sort of Advent Reflection, and perhaps something else I haven't thought of yet.
Other Upcoming stuff....
As I'm sure you're aware, the March for Life is coming up quickly. We WILL be doing to overnight trip this year (Sun-Monday), and we're somewhat limited on slots. So with that in mind when I get the sign-up out, please do it quickly. I've tried to lower the cost a little this year, and I think we can make it for around $30/person (rather than $40 last year) but of course if anyone wants to go and has difficulty paying, PLEASE come see me and we can work something out. I'm hoping to have sign-ups ready for Friday, but if not, definitely by next week.
Also, the Matt Maher concert is coming up that same weekend. I should have sign-ups out for that soon too. That'll be Friday Night, we'll carpool and I'll buy group tickets, cost is $20/person.
See you FRIDAY from 7pm-9pm

An Upper Jurassic ichthyosaur (Ichthyosauria: Ophthalmosauridae) from the Bowser Basin, British Columbia
Sissons et al
Although the Jurassic was a period of high diversity in ichthyosaurs, only a small number of specimens have been recorded from Canada to date. We describe here a new occurrence of an ophthalmosaurid ichthyosaur from a shallow marine depositional environment within the Bowser Basin of northern British Columbia. Based on vertebral diameters and the size of the humerus, the ichthyosaur was relatively large compared to other contemporaneous forms, yet possessed teeth that were small for its body size. As well, the height to length ratio of the preserved vertebrae suggests it may have had a more elongate, less regionalized body shape. Although indeterminate at a generic level, the presence of Late Jurassic ichthyosaurs in nearshore waters of northwestern North America further demonstrates their cosmopolitan distribution.

Pre-order: Grateful Dead - MAY 1977: GET SHOWN THE LIGHT and CORNELL 5/8/77
The Grateful Dead played more than 2,000 concerts, but none continues to spark interest and provoke discussion quite like the band's performance at Cornell University's Barton Hall on May 8, 1977. It is one of the most collected, traded, and debated concerts by any band ever, has topped numerous fan polls through the years, and was a favorite of the group's longtime archivist Dick Latvala, who stated: "Enough can't be said about this superb show." Even Uncle Sam got into the act in 2011 when the recording was "deemed so important to the history and culture of the United States" that a copy was added to the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of that magical show, Dead.net will release MAY 1977: GET SHOWN THE LIGHT, a new 11-disc boxed set that features the commercial debut of the Cornell University show (5/8/77) along with three other previously unreleased concerts: Veterans' Memorial Coliseum, New Haven, CT (5/5/77), Boston Garden, Boston, MA (5/7/77), and Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, Buffalo, NY (5/9/77). As if that weren't enough, the source for these recordings is the legendary Betty Boards, which Jeffrey Norman has mastered in HDCD for unrivaled sound quality. The transfers from the master tapes were produced by Plangent Processes, further ensuring that this is the best, most authentic that Cornell (and the other three shows) has ever sounded.
The set is available now for pre-order and will be shipped to arrive on May 5, the anniversary of the first show in the collection. Production of the set is limited to 15,000 individually numbered copies and available exclusively from Dead.net. The set will also be available as a digital download in Apple Lossless and FLAC 192/24 exclusively at dead.net beginning on May 5.
On the same day, Rhino will release the Barton Hall concert separately in multiple formats. CORNELL 5/8/77 will be available as a three-CD set, a limited edition five-LP set (limited to 7,700 copies), as well as digital download and streaming.
MAY 1977: GET SHOWN THE LIGHT comes in an ornate box crafted by Grammy-winning graphic artist Masaki Koike. The set includes an in-depth essay by noted Dead scholar Nicholas G. Meriwether, who explores the memories and mysteries that surround this run of shows. The set also comes with Cornell '77: The Music, The Myth And The Legend Of The Grateful Dead's Concert At Barton Hall (Cornell Press), a new book by Peter Conners dedicated to the Cornell show. The book will also be available for purchase separately.

sketch book pages
These are some pages out of my sketch book. they're pretty much complete crap, but I like how some of it turned out. I used a ball point pen, marker type pen, and brush and ink on these. Sketch books are fun, but I don't get to draw in it as much as I would like.

Some drawings from my childhood
These are some drawings from when I was an innocent little boy. I didn't write my age on most of them, but I was 5 to 10 when I did most of these. The crayon ones I was the youngest. They are of toys that I had or wanted. The cobra twins from G.I.Joe and Webstor from He-man occupied a lot of my free time and I drew them all the time! The drawings seem to get more and more gory the older I got. I hope you enjoy these long lost masterpieces...

10eastern is a website I draw on whenever I get bored and I don't have anything better to do. There are some really good artists that draw all the time, so it never gets boring! To see a bunch of drawings ( Warning! Some may not be sutable for anyone) I've done over the last year or two, click Poopmustache.
Some newspaper just did an article about the site and mentioned my screen name. To read the article, click here

Munjal Shah's company Like.com was acquired by Google in 2010. The deal was finished on a Wednesday but couldn't close until Friday. As Shah recalls, when he asked why, he was told that Larry Page still needed to review the Like.com team's applications, an activity for which Page set aside his Thursdays. Despite Google employing over 12,000 people at the time, says Shah, Page still reviewed the applications of anyone Google was seriously considering hiring.
This was a turning point for Shah, one that impacts how he leads his current company, Health IQ, a life insurance startup that finds lower rates for health-conscious people. "Conventional wisdom about scaling is that you have to trade intimacy for efficiency," Shah recently shared with me on my podcast Beyond the Headline. "As much as you need to operationalize your business processes, you have to choose a few that you are deliberately not going to scale." It's those areas, in Shah's view, that let leaders of fast-growing companies keep their cultures strong when it matters most.
1. Interview Every Candidate Yourself, For As Long As You Can
Hiring is one of the first things founders begin to delegate, and Shah was no exception. While running his past two companies, Shah found that the day he let go of hiring, the culture changed. So with Health IQ, he's taken a different approach.
"There is the common theory that A players hire A players and B players hire C players. But leaders can't just focus on hiring the right first group and expect they'll maintain the momentum. A players will hire C players if they're under pressure to scale quickly," Shah shared in a later conversation. That's not an indictment of his hiring team, he believes–it's just a reality of rapid growth. "The faster a company is scaling, the more the CEO should be involved in hiring to ensure the quality of decisions is not only being maintained but elevated," he believes. Nearly four years in, with over 150 employees, Shah still interviews close to 90% of Health IQ candidates.
His goal isn't just to help preserve company culture. It's also to cultivate a personal relationship with each person once they join. As he sees it, "You should have two relationships with your employees: a personal relationship that transcends the company, and your professional one," he explained. "The hiring process gives you a rare opportunity to build a relationship. When else are you going to have a full hour to hear about a person's life and dreams?"
2. Democratize Mentoring With Open Office Hours
Senior leaders typically assign new team members to managers as their startups scale, leaving them with a small group of higher-level direct reports–usually the company's earliest employees. But in Shah's experience, a CEO making herself available for mentoring conversations with everyone in the company can increase speed and productivity.
Since that can be logistically difficult, he hosts weekly office hours where any team member can schedule a private mentoring session with him. His assistant also sends out a companywide email whenever he has a gap in his schedule, inviting team members to schedule a one-on-one for up to 30 minutes. Shah says he typically dedicates 10 hours a month to these meetings.
"In order to scale quickly, you have to help people grow professionally. One of the most effective ways to do that is to have a mentor-mentee relationship," he said in our subsequent chat. His current approach "creates a link for you to be invited in as a mentor, not just as a manager. By getting to know people on a deeper level, you can match them with the right opportunities to accelerate their progress and the company's growth."
Mentoring multiple team members also equips leaders with an aerial view of their organizations. Rather than solely relying on the perspective of your direct reports, open office hours can give CEOs intel right from the front lines on a regular basis.
3. Celebrate Every Team Member Daily
When you're in hypergrowth mode, it's easy to race past achievements without acknowledging them. Shah has tried to avoid this by recognizing each of his company's 150 employees at a daily companywide stand-up meeting. "The common belief is that when you recognize everybody, you recognize nobody. That just isn't true," he asserted. "Praise is a scarce resource we are all starving for. The more recognition you give, the more positive your culture is. Appreciation never depreciates."
So every afternoon at 2 p.m., you can find the Health IQ team, spread across Palo Alto and San Diego, gathered for an hour of positivity. Shah begins with a five-minute update, and then they go around both offices (which connect via Skype) for each person to share a daily accomplishment. From hitting sales quotas to shipping features, the only requirement is that team members contribute something positive. It takes less time than you'd think, Shah says: Even factoring in the time spent applauding for impressive milestones, they're able to move through 150 people in 20 minutes. (The remainder of the hour is spent doing a team workout–it's a health company, after all!)
When Shah considered canceling the meeting as headcount neared 100, multiple team members asked him to stick with it; some told him that at previous employers, managers often took credit for their work. But the stand-up is also a chance for peers to share their progress with each other. "People just want to share that they did something great and get recognition for it," Shah said. "It seems like an expensive time investment, but it compounds in extra productivity. The positive feedback loop creates a self-sustaining system of accountability and motivation."
Finally, the meeting also reveals what people do across departments, inspiring collaboration and gratitude. During some stand-ups, instead of sharing a personal achievement, everyone thanks a team member who helped them that day. Shah credits much of Health IQ's early success to this camaraderie and positivity. "The best culture is a fertile ground where other positive things can grow."
He's confident this holds true no matter how quickly you're scaling: "Whatever you want to get out of measuring metrics, you can achieve better and faster by establishing it as a part of your culture."
