Pressed Plant Art, floral collage, oshibana, mixed media art, Pressed Plant collage are different names for such kind of decorative art when an artist like me uses all kind of botanicals dried under the press to create an original art. Pressed Plant Art is thin, flat and looks like a painting. Somebody calls Pressed Plant Art as a floral painting. People started to create arts with dried under press plants in Japan. They named them oshibana. It was more than six hundred years ago.

FindTreatment.gov – a national substance used disorder treatment database. The online treatment locator is boldly marked as “An official website of the United States government” to reassure visitors who have become wary of online addiction marketing gimmicks that collect and broker potential patient information. Addiction treatment facilities can be sorted by the type of treatment they offer, including treatment for co-occurring mental illness and substance use and telemedicine care that can be accessed via phone, tablet or desktop computer. The new locator also allows searches of programs based on payment option, age, languages spoken, and access to medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder. FindTreatment.gov is a reboot of a SAMHSA website that had fewer updated resources, less robust search functions, dated design and dated terminology. More than 13,000 state-licensed facilities are included in the database and a routine search of several local zip codes and towns returned solid, accurate results. FCA’s Hicksville Counseling Center, for example, comes up at the top of the list for treatment options in Hicksville. New York State OASAS has operated its own statewide treatment locator for several years and the new federal website mirrors many of its features. Critical to both websites is the fact that only state-licensed treatment facilities are including the directory and while licensing requirements vary by state, New York’s are strict. FindTreatment.gov is an important tool for families and patients looking for help and offers a meaningful alternative to the thousands of worthless online treatment directories that promote substandard treatment centers, blast the reader with pop-up ads and lure unsuspecting and desperate visitors into disclosing personal information.

Texas starter Shea O'Leary allowed just four hits while throwing a complete game, but gave up the game's only two runs as the Longhorns' season came to an end with a 2-0 loss to Oklahoma State in the NCAA Stillwater Super Regional (photo courtesy of STILLWATER, Okla. — A day after knocking off Oklahoma State to set up what effectively amounted to a play-in game for the Women’s College World Series, the Texas softball team’s luck ran out at Cowgirl Stadium in the Stillwater NCAA Super Regional. The Longhorns were shut out, 2-0, by Oklahoma State, their second setback in what became a three-game set against the Cowgirls. The Horns, seeded No. 12 in the tournament, ended their season with a record of 43-14. No. 5 Oklahoma State stays alive with a 47-10 record. The Longhorns put together the game’s first scoring chance in the second inning. Catcher Mary Iakopo reached on an OSU error and advanced on a single to left by shortstop McKenzie Parker, but were left stranded. The Cowgirls got the game’s only runs in the fifth inning. Maci Cunconan scored what proved to be the game-winning run on a single by Avery Hobson. OSU then doubled its lead when left fielder Chelsea Alexander laid down a bunt single, scoring second baseman Karli Petty. Shea O’Leary took the loss for Texas, finishing the season with a 16-6 record. She allowed four hits, struck out two and only walked one. Like O’Leary, Oklahoma State’s Carrie Eberle threw a complete game and also allowed just four hits in the win, which stretched her record to a gaudry 25-3. Statistically, this season’s Texas offense was the best in the history of the program, setting new standards for batting average (.342), slugging (.561) and on-base percentage (.419), second in runs scored (366), home runs (78), total bases (839) and runs batted in (339), and tied for fourth in doubles (79).

An East Texas man who was an airborne radio intercept officer during the Vietnam War received a high honor Saturday morning. We've got an Air Force hero among us. The Distinguished Flying Cross is a military honor that goes to someone who displays "heroism or extraordinary achievement while participating in an aerial flight." Charles Lindbergh received the first one from President Calvin Coolidge in 1927. David E. Miller, of Nacogdoches, received a Distinguished Flying Cross during a ceremony Saturday morning at the Harvest Point Church in Nacogdoches. U.S. Air Force Colonel Ryan D. Blake, from the 412th Test School at Edwards Air Force Base in California, was there to officiate the ceremony, and State Rep. Travis Clardy, R-Nacogdoches was there to show support too. Miller was tapped for the honor because of his bravery in the middle of intense and hostile fire, and the Air Force said in a press release that he "pursued intelligence that contributed to saving the lives of many friendly forces." Miller lost several buddies in Vietnam, and he suffers from hearing loss and struggled with post-traumatic stress syndrome too. It's amazing what these war heroes go through in combat and afterward, and it's nice to see them honored for their efforts. Several other Vietnam veterans who attended Saturday's service were honored along with Miller. Veterans Day is coming up November 11th. That will be another good opportunity to honor a veteran, and we'll have more on those East Texas events as the day gets closer.

If you’re looking for a way to get into electric vehicles (EVs) but are put off by range anxiety concerns that go along with all-electric power, Ford has an answer with its plugin version of its popular Escape SUV. Well, perhaps that should be “sort of” an answer since all-electric range for the 2021 Ford Escape PHEV (plugin) is only about 38 miles or so, which is not all that impressive as many other EVs on today’s market. But once that limit is reached, a 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder gas engine kicks in to provide standard hybrid operation to ease the fear of being out of power. In hybrid mode, the electric motor gets a boost from regenerative braking and supplements the operation depending on conditions and your driving style. A handy gauge informs you when electric mode is fully engaged, such as when pulling away from an intersection or slowing in traffic. Interestingly, that works the other way as well with the gas engine sometimes starting up when you are set in electric mode. Fuel economy in combined gas-electric hybrid mode is 40 miles-per-gallon of regular octane fuel, though the instrumental panel reading showed slightly less in my experience. The MPGe figure, a formula the government came up with to rate plugins, standard hybrids, and all-electric vehicles, is 105, a number that puts it among the 11 plugin hybrids that earn the three-digit MPGe ratings from the EPA . So, yes, the Ford Escape PHEV is a safe way of getting an introduction to the electrified driving experience without fear of getting stranded when out on the road. The EPA’s figure for the Escape PHEV’s total range is 520 miles, assuming you have started with a full charge. It also estimates a savings of $5,500 in fuel costs in a five-year period over an average new vehicle that gets 27 MPG. This review is based on the Titanium trim of the 2021 Ford Escape PHEV but with no major changes this year, the 2021 Escape is pretty much the same vehicle as the newer 2022 model. The big changes came for 2020 models that moved the two-plus decades old Escape into its fourth generation. Titanium is the top trim. Standard hybrid and plugin power also is available in SE and SEL trims but not the base S Escape. Both the standard hybrid drivetrain and plugins come with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) but if you want all-wheel drive, which is available on other Escapes, you are out of luck with the Titanium PHEV. It comes only in front-wheel drive configuration. Among standard features on the 2021 Ford Escape Titanium PHEV are a hands-free lift gate, rear spoiler, roof rack with rails, LED tail lamps, rain-sensing wipers, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats that are power adjustable l0 ways for the driver and six for the passenger, heated steering wheel with cruise and audio controls, active park assist, Ford’s Co-Pilot360 Assist, adaptable cruise control, push-button start, and voice-activated navigation. My test vehicle had the Titanium package that includes a power moonroof, head-up display, and leather seating adding $2,500 to the starting MSRP of $38,885. (MSRP for the 2022 Escape Titanium PHEV is only $300 more). That plus $395 for the Rapid Red paint job and $1,245 for destination and delivery ran the total to $43,025. What I liked about the 2021 For.d Escape Titanium PHEV: No range anxiety here with a gas engine, and it packs a pretty good punch. Mileage in my week’s stay was at a steady 38-39 mpg, which is slightly under the advertised 40 mpg but still good. The cabin is roomy and the ride is comfortable. Infotainment features are user-friendly and as you might expect in the top-of-the-line trim plentiful. What I didn’t like about the 2021 Ford Escape Titanium PHEV: The Titanium trim takes the starting price tag to over $40,000 when the destination and delivery charges are added, which is asking for quite a lot for an Escape. The difference between the plugin and standard hybrid version is around $5,000. Would I buy the 2021 Ford Escape Titanium PHEV? I’m not a big fan of plugins since at my house it is difficult for me to plug in any electric vehicle to get it to the closest outlet. (I need to clean out my garage.) But if you don’t have that issue, the Escape offers a nice way to get introduced to electric power because it has the safety net a gasoline engine provides.

In Patagonia there is rest for the weary, and we were glad for it. The first real work of every day on the road – besides pulling our tired butts out of bed – is re-packing the gear bags that explode all over our rooms every night. Then we schlep them down to the truck for the day’s ride. But not today. I sleep in a bit, rise lazily, then wander down the trail from my bungalow to the breakfast table. The Hacienda Tres Lagos offers many excursions for their guests, including river running, boat tours and fishing. Three of us chose a two-hour horseback ride, and it’s the only thing on my list for whole day. Nic gets outfitted for his first horseback ride. Our guide is Benjamin, an eco-tourism major from Santiago, where his family keeps horses. Nic Mentis has never been on a horse, but his sister loves them so he gives it a go. John Bettencourt looks forward to a relaxing couple of hours gazing at the scenery. I’ve ridden a lot of horses, and as much as the thrill of a good gallop appeals to me, our slow walk up the mountainside though native Patagonian forest and a panoramic view to a nearby glacier suits me just fine. Advertisement The down time gives me a chance to continue my discussion of Macna clothing design with Patrick Kant. The Oasis jacket I’m wearing has a zippered slash pocket on the chest, but not the easy-access cargo type I like for my camera. When I ask why not, Patick’s answer was simple, “Safety.” Taking spill with something hard in a chest pocket would be like landing on a rock instead of a smooth surface and could turn a slight injury into a serious one. Made sense to me, so my camera stays in one of the two waist-height pockets on my Oasis that close with hook-and-loop flaps. A better place is in the tank bag. Patrick also recommends using the hook-and-loop pockets for best security. Hmm, maybe I’m not the only one who forgets to close pocket zippers now and then. The Hacienda put on a great feed for us that night, including Carmenere wine, delicious cheeses and a cordero al asador – a whole lamb roasted in front of an open fire. No one goes to bed hungry at this Hacienda.

A Nevada medical marijuana cardholder has brought a federal class action lawsuit against Nevada, the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), and the governor. The cardholder claims that Nevada was requiring Nevadans to get certified for a medical marijuana card yet forced them to buy marijuana from the black market because dispensaries weren’t open. He claims this constitutes as fraud, unjust enrichment, unequal taxation and violation of equal protections. Nevada “engaged in fraud by collecting fees and issuing registration cards when they had not licensed nor had they planned on licensing dispensaries during the time covered by the cards,” stated the cardholder. He further noted that aside from growing one’s own marijuana, the state provided no way for patients to get marijuana other than “from the local street corner drug dealer,” until 2013, when it enacted laws to license and regulate medical marijuana dispensaries. The first Nevada dispensary, Silver State Relief, recently opened outside of Reno and is limiting cardholders to less than 1 oz. purchases due to limited supply. Nevada is nearing 10,000 medical marijuana cardholders and the state has reciprocity with other states that issue medical marijuana cards.

​Every week, we want to provide our nursery parents with tips on how to cultivate core spiritual disciplines in their children and how to help them connect with God throughout the week. Songs of the Month Putting a melody to words always helps us to memorize them better! Because of this, Teacher Rebecca has helped to compile a list of children's worship songs for your child that communicate simple truths about God and His Word. Our little ones learn best when things are repeated, so the list of songs provided will be utilized for the rest of August. Some of the songs may be familiar to your child, as they've been sung at least once in their Sunday School class before! Thank You Praise Ye the Lord, Hallelujah My God is So Big We recommend that you take some time each day to review at least one of these songs with your child. We've selected example videos with body motions, so you can dance and worship alongside him/her! This month, we'll be singing songs about God's goodness, faithfulness, and sovereignty. Nursery Lessons with Teacher Rebecca: The Battle of Jericho Teacher Rebecca and I have been working together in the past weeks to develop and record lesson videos for your child to view at home. This week, we'll learn about how Joshua led God's people to defeat their enemies at Jericho. Click here to view. Helping Your Child Develop a Habit of Prayer Teaching your child to cultivate a habit of prayer from an early age is an effective way to help him/her to build living, lasting faith. If you don't already have a prayer system in place for your child, here are some suggestions that we've come up with for you to do each day! Lead your child to pray before mealtime. Here are some easy to learn short mealtime prayers to teach your child to say before each meal! Just as we give thanks for the food before us each time we eat, encourage your child to start his/her meal with a word of prayer so that he/she can also develop the habit of praying before eating and learn to thank God for His daily provision. Lead your child to pray before bedtime: How do you teach your child to structure his/her prayers? The hand prayer is an easy method that is modeled after the Lord's Prayer in the gospels. Remember - prayer doesn't need to be limited to right before bedtime, it can be done any time of the day! Praying with your child gives you, the parent, an opportunity to encourage and speak biblical truth to your child, especially if something happened during the day! The B-I-B-L-E Did you know that it's not too early to teach your child how to read the Bible? If you read to your child regularly from a simplified bible for tots, it will help your child to develop an appreciation for/eagerness to read God's Word early on in his/her life. I personally love to use Sally Lloyd Jones' Jesus Story Book Bible to introduce the stories of the Old and New Testaments to kiddos. They love it, because of all the colored pictures! If you would like a copy of a simplified Bible for your child, please contact Ms. Valerie and let her know. Start by Becoming a Praying Parent Helping your child to become a faithful Christ-follower begins with YOU, the parent. Parents are called to impress God's commandments on their children (Deuteronomy 6:6-7), but the only way for them to do this effectively is if they immerse themselves in Scripture and rely on God's strength and Spirit to guide them. Because of this, I will be sharing a collection of prayer topics from The Daily Grace Co.'s Gospel Conversation set to help you learn how to share the gospel with your child and lead him/her according to the ways of the Lord. This week's prayer is based on the familiar passage, Deuteronomy 6:5. Set aside some time each day to read and meditate on this verse. At the end of each quiet time, lead your child to answer the following questions: Did you show your love for God today? What are some examples? After spending some time with these questions, write a list of things that you can do to show your love for God. Then, be intentional with those items as a family this week!

Adding a metal structure to the side of a building is not a decision that many people are going to want to make lightly. We know that, and that’s why we want to provide a bit more information on these structures. As with most of the structures that we build the main purpose behind these is to provide shade and shelter to an area. That being said, you also have to take into account that these structures are going to become part of the building. Therefore it’s always a good idea to take into account before you build anything. Unique Designs If you are reading through the site, this is probably something that you’ve read before. We just want to make sure that we are clear on this. We are able to build any awning provided that we are given the opportunity to create the design. Naturally not all buildings are going to be perfect rectangles or have the same type of exteriors. We have to be able to account for that to be able to build an awning that is going to hold up. From there, we can settle on shape size, location, and everything in between. To make sure that we are creating a structure that matches what you need. Metal or Fabric Why would you go with a metal awning over a canvas or some type of fabric structure? As you can see we create and essentially sell all types of awnings. Therefore, we don’t typically say that one is better than the other. In our mind, certain types of awnings will go better with some structures than with others or will fill the needs better. Since we are talking about metal products, here we do have to say that they are generally more durable and we are able to create all sorts of designs with these, which can go beyond the typical storefront awning. Keeping It From Getting Too Hot One of the fears that many people have expressed to us in the past is that we’ll end up creating a structure that will get too hot in the summer. What we are going to be doing to avoid this is setting up taller structures as well as using metals that are not going to be heating up too much. If this is something that worries you we can help you explore some of the different options that we are going to have for you. The Long-Lasting Option Metal structures can hold up for many years especially if they are properly cleaned and kept. You could be looking at a structure that will be in its place for 20 years plus. As we just mentioned all that you would have to do is make sure to keep it from rusting. If you can do that effectively these structures can be up for years and years. Once we set up a structure for you, we’ll give you a bunch of tips and tricks to help you keep the structure clean.

Much like when people say "I have such bad OCD" or "Guys, I'm, like, having a panic attack," you've certainly heard the acronym ADHD tossed around in casual conversation to describe personality quirks or emotional reactions to particular situations. The misuse of terms like these has become so ingrained in our lexicon that it seems some people forget that they are real disorders that can significantly impact those who have them. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) describes attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders. It is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) estimates that 8.4% of children and 2.5% of adults have ADHD. However, the symptoms of ADHD vary from person to person. Let's take a look at how ADHD can present in people of all ages and genders and what can be done to help with the symptoms. ADHD in children and teens MIA Studio/Shutterstock Healthline reports that ADHD can be hard to pin down for a number of reasons including stigma, lack of information surrounding the topic, and limited access to healthcare. But one of the biggest struggles lies in the fact that the symptoms present so differently depending on age and gender. A small child with ADHD might daydream a lot, easily losing focus when playing or doing schoolwork. They often are accused of squirming in their seats, fidgeting, and frequently getting up to run around. They might talk excessively, interrupt others, and have a hard time taking turns and getting along with their peers (per CDC). Teenagers have similar symptoms, but new issues might emerge as a result of the responsibilities that come with getting older. This can present as trouble with organization and time management, struggling to finish tasks, frequently losing personal items, and increased frustration and emotional sensitivity that might affect relationships at home and at school (per Healthline). ADHD in adults and females Billion Photos/Shutterstock While most people receive a diagnosis by adolescence, Healthline notes that some people enter adulthood without getting one. Adults with ADHD tend to experience difficulties passing classes or completing work, which can lead to issues with self-esteem. Substance misuse is common in adults with ADHD and they might find relationships with partners, family, and coworkers particularly challenging. While ADHD is four times more likely to present in men and boys, women and girls can also have it. However, a 2020 study published in BMC Psychiatry found females are likely to have more subtle symptoms which can include a mix of inattentive behaviors and hyperactivity. They also found that women and girls with ADHD tend to have more difficulty with regulating emotions, have a higher likelihood of social problems, struggle more with academics and self-esteem, and have an increased risk of sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy. Hormonal changes due to menstruation and pregnancy can also worsen ADHD symptoms. Causes and treatment Alex and Maria photo/Shutterstock Scientists have been hard at work looking for causes of ADHD, and while there aren't any definitive answers yet, the CDC reports that genetics could be a factor. Other causes that are gaining some traction include brain injury, premature birth, environmental factors like lead exposure, and the mother smoking or drinking alcohol during pregnancy. The APA reports that as there is no lab test to confirm ADHD, the diagnosis comes from gathering information from parents and teachers, and a medical evaluation that includes hearing and vision screening to rule out other possible medical problems. Once a diagnosis is obtained, ADHD can be treated via medication and behavioral therapy. Stimulants like methylphenidate and amphetamines have been deemed safe and have been proven to be successful in easing the symptoms of ADHD, but there are alternatives for those who do not respond well to stimulants or prefer to avoid them.

Jose Fernandez was too much for the Pirates and Gerrit Cole, as they dropped the second game of their series in Miami, 3-1. Fernandez faced just one batter over the minimum in his seven innings. The Pirates managed only three baserunners against him, all on singles, and wiped out two of them with a caught stealing and a double play. They got just one runner past first. Fernandez struck out six. Meanwhile, as in his last two starts, Cole wasn't dominant. He managed, though, to work his way effectively through six scoreless innings. He had runners on first and second with one out in the first, but got a ground out and a fly out. The Marlins put runners on second and third with no out in the third, but Cole got a strikeout, an out at the plate on a good play by Jung-Ho Kang, and another strikeout. In the sixth, he got out of a bases-loaded, one-out situation with a soft liner and a fly out. Cole couldn't, however, get through the seventh. Three one-out singles brought in a run and the throw left runners at second and third. Cole then walked Marcell Ozuna and ball four went to the backstop. Francisco Cervelli made a good play, quickly getting the ball to Cole at the plate, but the runner was called safe. The Pirates challenged the call, but it was correctly upheld. That brought on Jared Hughes, who got a hard grounder to Kang, but the Pirates weren't able to turn two when Josh Harrison double-clutched on the pivot. That let in a third run. The Marlins mercifully removed Fernandez after just 88 pitches. The Pirates got nowhere against David Phelps in the eighth, but finally showed signs of life in the ninth against Marlins' closer A.J. Ramos. Walks to Matt Joyce and Andrew McCutchen, sandwiched around a single by John Jaso, loaded the bases with one out. A Gregory Polanco fly ball ended the shutout, but Kang took a third strike and Starling Marte flied out to right, ending the game.

Harvest Group recenty reached the 15-year milestone as a company. As I was reflecting on my journey, I found myself thinking of the mistakes made, victories won, and hard-earned lessons along the way. To encourage other entrepreneurs and honor those who have helped me on my journey, I took a minute to write down 15 lessons from 15 years of entrepreneurship. THE ENTREPRENEUR 1. Don’t quit As Ben Horowitz highlights in his book, “The Hard Thing About Hard Things”, one essential part of any entrepreneurial journey is having the grit and determination to not quit in the face of daunting setbacks and challenges. I remember having two small kids at home and getting down to the end of my bank account and wondering, Is this going to work out? Nothing worthwhile comes easy – don’t quit when the going gets rough. 2. Anchor to your personal why As you go through the challenges of your entrepreneurial journey, others will ask you—and at times, you will ask yourself—why are you doing this? You need to have an answer that is compelling not just to others, but to yourself. My why has been to glorify God with how Harvest serves clients and one another. It has anchored me when I have faced times of trial and uncertainty, from bootstrapping a small business to managing the complexities of a hypergrowth organization. Find your why, and look to it to keep you going. 3. Entrepreneurship is a full contact sport In the beginning of my journey, I naively thought that entrepreneurship was all about my mind, but over the years I’ve learned that it engages my mind, my body, my emotions, and my soul. Your ability as an entrepreneur to maintain connectively to your soul, to manage your emotions as you made big decisions, to maintain your physical health/energy are just as important as being an expert and student of your business. Don’t underestimate the impact of starting a business on all aspects of yourself. 4. Don’t get eaten alive I wish I had recognized earlier that entrepreneurship can eat you alive. There is always more you need to do, more you could do, more you want to do, more fires to put out, and more people who need your time. Entrepreneurship takes hard work and long hours. I wish I had recognized earlier and been more disciplined in certain seasons of my journey to actively set boundaries to protect time for myself and my family. Entrepreneurship will take every minute you have and keep asking for more. 5. What’s in your wake? Like a boat moving through the water, we all leave a wake behind us as we move through life. Sometimes you look at a successful person’s life, and you see bodies in their wake: they’ve used and burned out their people and other stakeholders. Or they’ve kept their knowledge and influence exclusively for their own personal gain. But sometimes you see a leader whose downline is filled with strong, developed leaders whom they’ve invested in and positively impacted. I’ve learned the importance of continuing to say ‘yes’ to people that reach out for help and advice. I’ve found great fulfillment in developing and investing back into leaders, both inside and outside our organization. There is a legacy to leave in the lives of others that is more significant than business accomplishments. 6. Find joy in the journey It’s easy when you’re starting a business to stay hyper-focused on where you’re trying to go. However, I have learned that I find more joy in the journey than in arriving at a destination. The mountaintop is a milestone, but it’s ultimately just a moment—we spend most of our time on the journey to that place. The journey of learning and becoming on the way to your goals is one to be savored. 7. Have self-awareness I wish I had prioritized growing in self-awareness earlier in my journey. Learning the truth about ourselves and facing our flaws is never easy, but ultimately, we can’t grow without it. It took me longer than I wish to learn the value of having people around me that will tell me honestly things about myself that I can’t see. COMPANY CULTURE 8. Build a firm foundation Early on at Harvest, we received the wise advice to write down and incorporate core values into our culture. Don Soderquist taught me that your values are truly your values when you have stories of how you’ve lived them out in ways that cost you something. We identified our core values and made them the foundation of our company, weaving them into the fabric of our culture and using them to make many cornerstone decisions in our history. Identify the values at the heart of your company and make them the core of how you make decisions and hire, fire, promote, and reward your people. 9. Cut out the cancer Sometimes as a leader, cancerous people will make their way into your business, either as employees or as clients. In Harvest’s history, we have had key contributors who were culturally cancerous, and I fell into traps of fear (what will happen to the business?) and justification (but their results are excellent) rather than cut out the cancer early. We have had key clients who didn’t act with integrity or who treated our team disrespectfully, with unreasonable expectations. It was easy to justify keeping them on—they have been with us for so long or what will we do without their business? But in each of these cases, I wish I had acted more swiftly and courageously to remove these influences. 10. Mark milestones & make traditions People are forgetful (some of us more than others). Life goes by quickly, with all its good things, hard things, change, and growth, and many of us never pause to appreciate those things because we are constantly focused on what’s coming next. We often fail to pause to memorialize or celebrate meaningful milestones—so we end up forgetting them. Over the years at Harvest we have found many ways to mark milestones, through traditions both planned and spontaneous. Marking milestones along our journey causes us to pause and reflect back, which gives you the perspective you need to press forward in faith and wisdom. BUSINESS LEADERSHIP 11. Grow talent & business at the same rate If you are blessed to experience significant growth as a company, you might find that it is difficult to grow your company’s talent and business at the same rate. At Harvest, one of the keys of our success so far has been our early investment in People & Culture. Over the years, Lindsay Mast, Steve Blair, and their teams have served our mission-critical need to recruit, hire, retain, train, and promote talent at the same pace as our business has grown. It is easy to make the mistake of only focusing on business growth and neglect people growth. 12. Pivots & Bets Don’t get stuck in one way of doing things. I have learned that there are key moments where you need to pivot, changing direction or placing a bet on something new. Being stuck in a certain way of working or remaining too focused on an outdated goal can mean you aren’t ready when it’s necessary for you to take a risk or change directions. Sometimes you recognize these crucial decisions in the moment, but sometimes you can only see them in hindsight. Prepare yourself by being ready to pivot and make bets. 13. You can’t control the speed of the market One of the many bits of wisdom I’ve received from Steve Graves is, I can’t control the speed of the market. There are times when I want to freeze my kids in a certain life stage and keep them there—the same is true of my company. Sometimes our team, our clients, and our strategy are in a synergetic sweet spot, and I want to freeze them there so that we don’t have to experience more change or “lose” what we have. But the hard reality is, I can’t control the speed of the market. My job as a leader is to lead our team and clients successfully based on the rate of change in the market. 14. Profit vs. people vs. purpose At Harvest we aren’t just pursuing profit—we’re also pursuing people and purpose. We feel a healthy tension among all of those. A company that has incredible people and mission but that isn’t financially viable will fail. A company that has a thoughtful, strong purpose and great margin but has the wrong people in the wrong roles will also fail. Any imbalance among the three can pose a threat to your company. But when these three are working in the right balance, they often reinforce and strengthen each other. 15. Thank your heroes Along your journey, heroes will come through your company and make a difference that you will find hard to believe. In Harvest’s journey, we have had talented, experienced people come through our doors who were leaving high-profile jobs, and the industry would have told them they should never consider Harvest as a next step in their career. We’ve also seen talented young people contribute above their experience level in roles the industry would have said they weren’t ready for. Time and time again, our people have demonstrated commitment, innovation, and curiosity that allowed them to defy expectations. Harvest Group has been built by heroes that have punched above their weight or that others might say should never have been here at all. I want to tell those Harvest heroes thank you, and I want to encourage you to thank your heroes too.

The project is being developed by Tier One Affordable Housing provider, BlueCHP Limited and will set a new benchmark in the delivery of high quality housing in one of Sydney’s key growth centres. The three tower residential development consisting of 101 apartments is well under way with basement and concrete podium constructed and ready for the first CLT panels being installed this week. BlueCHP’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr Charles Northcote, was onsite when the first shipment arrived. “We are thrilled to see the CLT panels here in Australia and are very excited to watch the timber structure take shape”, said Mr Northcote. CLT has been widely accepted as an innovative, environmentally friendly building material for medium and mid-rise construction in Europe and the US for over 15 years. It brings a number of unique advantages that present efficiencies without sacrificing structural integrity, design or build quality. Maintaining their stringent quality requirements with a tight deadline and a limited construction budget was a challenge that BlueCHP Limited faced for this project, however this was addressed when building contractor, Strongbuild, proposed a cost effective build solution based on CLT rather than traditional concrete and steel. “When Strongbuild presented this alternate construction method we were immediately enthused. The idea of being able to trim a substantial amount of time off the build while ultimately creating a softer, warmer, environmentally friendly living experience suited our company objectives perfectly“, concluded Mr Northcote.

Founded by the Communist Party in 1930 as the Daily Worker, it played an outstanding role in the fight against fascism. After the Second World War, in maintaining and extending the breadth of the paper's base, the Communist Party transferred ownership of the Daily Worker to a co-operative, the People's Press Printing Society (PPPS), which owns and manages the paper to this day. Individuals and labour movement organisations can take out shares in the PPPS - and many have done - but each shareholder only gets one vote, no matter what the value of their holding. The fact that the paper is still publishing after all these years reflects the enormous dedication and commitment of its staff and its many supporters. It aims to be the "daily paper of the left" and carries regular articles by a number of labour movement personalities. Although the Communist Party does not own the paper, and certainly does not dictate terms to it, the relationship between the Party and the Morning Star is one of close comradeship: the objectives are the same, the editorial is written in line with the strategic objectives of the Party's programme, Britain's Road to Socialism, and the Party sees building support for the Morning Star as its number 1 priority. The Communist Party therefore works closely with the Morning Star to build daily sales of the paper, to extend its influence, and to win donations to the Peoples Press Fighting Fund, which helps keep the paper going. Our members are active in Morning Star Readers' and Supporters' Groups. We co-operate with other supporters of the paper in distributing 3000 free copies - courtesy of trade union advertising and support - at the Durham Miners' Gala in July each year. The Tyneside Readers' and Supporters' Group organises the annual Northern Regional Morning Star Conference, and a major fund-raiser in the annual Tyneside Morning Star Bazaar. The Morning Star appears daily, Monday to Saturday. An online subscription is available via the Morning Star's own web site, but it is critically important for the paper's continued publication that its print run is extended, i.e. that printed copies are bought. Can you help by buying the Morning Star, selling it or even just passing it on so that more people see it? Any newsagent is obliged to stock the Morning Star if you place a regular order. However, there are many newsagents across the North of England who already take it. At present we have a list of outlets in Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear, and we anticipate shortly getting that information for the rest of the Northern District. If you would like to know where you can buy a copy of the paper, then please get in touch with the Morning Star Organiser via our contacts page

Washington : Guess who is enlisted among the next-gen fashion muses of Stella McCartney? She is none other than Madonna’s daughter, Lourdes ‘Lola’ Leon. The designer has enlisted four young stars, each of whom will be pushing the boundaries of beauty in their own way and they are musician Grimes, model Kenya Kinski-Jones, actress Amandla Stenberg and Lourdes, reports People magazine. The first image for the campaign shows Lourde’s naturally dark black hair dyed a soft lavender shade that complements the magenta shades of the Pop bottle and the pastel pink backdrop. Giving a sweet detail to the picture, the 19-year-old’s knuckle tattoos are also made visible, which pay homage to her mom and dad, Madonna’s former trainer Carlos Leon.

But some sites have curious numbers posted to their boards, and this is a good opportunity for bettors to learn some of the intricacies of betting on politics. To begin with, BetOnline is seeing the biggest shift in Presidential election odds of any major offshore betting site, as Donald Trump’s second term seems to be slipping away in almost real-time at the sportsbook. While The Donald was once enjoying a 60- to 70-point lead on Hidin’ Biden, the tables have turned, with Creepy Joe now leading the incumbent by 130 points on the boards. This is Biden’s biggest lead at any Vegas election betting site. However, BetOnline is consistent in its other wagers that deal with the 2020 general election. For example, no matter how the contest is framed, most of the odds reflect the same exact betting action: Joe Biden -180 Donald Trump +150 Joe Biden -180 Field (any other) +150 Field (any other) -175 Donald Trump +145 Democrat Nominee -175 Republican Nominee +145 These lines all reflect almost identical odds, with slight variations due to the particulars of the wagers. Yes, the Trump vs. Biden odds pay out a tiny bit better than the Trump vs. Field odds, but the difference is just five points. That’s the biggest delta you’ll find at BetOnline. Essentially, these four politics futures are all asking the same question, and they have approximately the same odds. You’d think this would be true for all bookmakers. But you’d think wrong. In actual fact, this is often not the norm, and it demonstrates the importance of shopping lines across multiple books before you place any wager. In addition to getting wholly different odds at different betting sites, you will also come across lines that make no sense in relationship to one another. While BetOnline has taken an effort to be consistent (and Bovada is always consistent), if you’re looking for an edge to get the most bang for your buck, MyBookie seems like the place to watch. There, you’ll see a similar array of wagers as the above, but with dramatically different lines from one another. Why this is the case – and why MyBookie (or its bettors) structure the offerings this way – is anyone’s guess. But for the savvy bettor, if you don’t like the Biden vs. Trump odds, you can wager on the same thing and get vastly different payouts at MyBookie. Take a look: 2020 Presidential Election Winner Joe Biden -160 Donald Trump +120 Hillary Clinton +4500 Mike Pence +5500 Andrew Cuomo +6000 Michelle Obama +8000 Mark Cuban +10000 Nikki Haley +12500 2020 Presidential Election Winning Party Democrat -145 Republican +105 2020 Donald Trump Election Special To lose electoral college and popular vote -150 To win electoral college and popular vote +175 To win electoral college, lose popular vote +200 To lose electoral college, win popular vote +2000 Here, Biden is a -160 favorite over Trump. Given that both pols are their parties’ presumptive nominees, it seems that you could replace Biden with “Democrat” and Trump with “Republican” and get the same odds. But instead, when you look at the parties generally, Democrats are favored at -145 while Republicans are +105 underdogs. This is a 15 point swing in both cases. Then, when you peruse the Trump odds per the election special, you’ll see even more disparity, as a Trump loss (which would necessarily be a loss in both electoral and popular votes) is trending at -150, 10 points fewer than a Biden win (which means the same thing for all practical purposes). Another interesting aspect of that last betting line is that Trump has better odds to win both the electoral college and the popular vote than he has to win the electoral college and lose the popular vote – which is how he won in 2016 and what should be the favored scenario for a Trump 2020 victory, as well. So, why does MyBookie have such markedly different odds for what amount to the same exact outcomes? It has to do with the uncertainty of specificity – or, in this case, the certainty of specificity. Trump vs. Biden, in a matchup of those two individuals, favors Biden overwhelmingly per bettors. However, the same bettors believe that the GOP has a better chance to win the 2020 Presidential election if Trump runs against someone other than Biden or if both parties end up picking different candidates. While the latter contingency seems unlikely at this point, it’s possible that either geriatric politician could suffer some life-altering event at any time between now and the general, in which case other party representatives would be on the ballot. Regardless, it would serve you well to remember that sportsbooks only set the initial betting lines. After that, the action coming in on either side moves said lines, which means that bettors are solely responsible for any changes after the first batch of political props and odds are published.

Issyk-Kul is the nonfreezing mountain miracle lake of the tectonic origin, situated in a deep mountain hollow between the ridges of the Kyungey Ala-Too and the Teskey Ala-Too range at an altitude of 1609 meters above sea level. Lake Issyk-Kul refers to the lake, formed by a tectonic way, and as a result of orographic closed basins. The climate is distinctive, almost maritime. It is softer, warmer and damper than in other basins of the Tien Shan Mountains, located at the same height. The rare combination of the unique climate is in the valley: maritime, steppe and mountain, and zones of eternal glaciers. Issyk-Kul – one of the greatest and beautiful high mountain lakes of the world (170 km. high and 70 km. wide, the second biggest mountain lake in the world after Lake Titicaca in South America). “Issyk Kul” translated from the ancient Turkic languages means “holly, secret lake”, and from the Kyrgyz language it translated as “warm lake”. Because of the large depth of the lake water does not become completely cool - the lake never freezes, except some places in shores. In the area of the resort Tamga on the south coast the water temperature does not exceed 20 degrees. Issyk-Kul is famous for warm beaches, thermo - mineral radon sources, alpine meadows and huge coniferous forests. The coastline of the lake is strongly indented, but because of this there are about 20 beauty bays and coves. It is also well-known for its healing properties. Crystal clear water, mineral sources in combination with mountain, but at the same time soft, almost sea climate, create perfect conditions for resort rest with additional opportunities of mud and thermal treatment. About 80 rivers run into the lake, but no any flows out. In this reason the lake is salty (the water salinity is 5,8 %). About 10 billion tons of various salts are dissolved in the lake waters. That is why from the ancient time people came here not only to have a rest on the coast of the natural phenomenon, but at the same time for the health-improvement. This lake is like a jewel, lost among high snow-capped mountains. Lying on the shores of the warm lake, it is very hard to believe that somewhere on the contrary, in the next five thousand meters the eternal snow lies.

Reading is a sound-based activity that requires a foundation of the mastery of sounds represented by letters and letter combinations on a printed page. Successful readers can decode (translate) letter symbols and their combinations into sounds that represent oral language. If children have trouble translating letter symbols orally, they will likely experience significant difficulty in learning to read. Developing strong letter recognition and letter/sound correspondence is critical to becoming a confident, fluent reader. What happens when we read? As mentioned above, we must be able to recognize letters – their names and distinguishing features (straight lines, loops, etc.). Alphabet knowledge, especially in young children, is the key to reading success. Associating each letter and letter combination with the sound it represents is especially important in developing phonemic awareness. Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear speech sounds and blend them together to make a word. Learning to read requires hearing speech sounds at the same time we see the letters or letter combinations that represent those sounds. If the sounds are clear and the child sees the letters clearly, he/she has a greater chance of retaining the sound-to-letters connection in his/her memory. Research indicates that children who see letters and words while hearing their sounds develop stronger reading skills. How do children develop alphabet knowledge? Introduce the alphabet to preschool children as early as age three. Use the following activities to help preschoolers learn the alphabet and their corresponding sounds: Play with picture alphabet blocks that have a pictures representing the letter sound (K – key). Read. Read. Read! Reading books aloud makes the sound representations of the letters, letter combinations, and words more distinct. Reading aloud to children also teaches them that print carries a message. Help the child learn to write individual letters of his/her name and other letters seen in books, environmental signs (Stop, Restroom, Railroad, Pull, Push) and familiar packaging print around the home (Pop Tarts®, toothpaste, soap, etc.). Call attention to the letters and sounds when the opportunity presents itself. Sing the alphabet song while looking at and pointing to the letters. Provide practice for writing the letters. Help the child trace letters in shaving foam, sand, rice, etc. Let the child write the letters on unlined paper first. Use paint and brushes, finger paint, pencils, and crayons. Concentrate on learning one letter of his/her name at a time and its sound, then associate that sound by naming items in the home (Dd – dress, door, dog, dish, etc.) Play with alphabet flash cards that include pictures of items beginning with that sound on each card. Make individual letter cards of upper and lower case letters. Match the two letters and talk about the sound(s) they make. Associate items that begin with that sound. Select a letter for the day and write it on a large card. Have the child find and circle the letter and words that start with that letter from children’s magazines. Help the child cut out the words and encourage him/her to add drawings. Conduct a letter search. Have the child look through the large print in newspapers or children’s magazines and circle the letter they are working on when they find it. Find capital B or lower case b, etc. Write a series of simple words on a piece of paper, for example, boy, ran, back, fun, box. Ask the child to find and circle the b in each word. You’re making progress when the child recognizes on his own that some words you presented do not have b in them. Alphabet knowledge and sound perception is important in developing phonemic awareness. When children develop phonemic awareness, they can take the sounds of letters (without seeing the written letters) and blend them into words. For example, a child with phonemic awareness skills can take the sounds /b/, /a/, /g/ and put them together to make the word “bag,” as well as break a word down into its individual sounds. (For example, mop would have the sounds /m/, /o/, /p/.) Once children develop alphabet knowledge and phonemic awareness skills, they are ready to put the two together and begin reading. As they develop this process, seeing the letters, letter combinations, and knowing the sounds associated with them will help them blend all of this together to form words, sentences, and stories.

A new bill introduced by St Petersburg's authorities is expected to prevent homosexuals from "promoting sodomy, lesbianism, bi-sexuality and transgenderism to minors." Source: ITAR-TASS A new proposed bill targeting homosexuals has produced an outcry in the international community, but looks set to pass nevertheless. The tourist industry of St. Petersburg – Russia’s second-largest city and one of its most popular destinations – may suffer because of a new bill against homosexuals, which local lawmakers are preparing to adopt amid protests. In an international campaign launched online this week, foreign tourists are urged to inform St. Petersburg Governor Georgy Poltavchenko that they would boycott the city if the local parliament passes a bill against “promoting sodomy, lesbianism, bi-sexuality and transgenderism to minors.” “If this bill is signed in to law, I will not and cannot travel to St. Petersburg, and will urge all of my friends and acquaintances to follow suit,” reads a petition launched by AllOut.org, a leading LGBT digital direct action organization. The bill, which does not specify what “promoting” is, can be used arbitrarily to outlaw any public manifestation of homosexuality – from art, film, literature and the media to gay pride events and protests, according to opponents. They also point out that “promoting” activities that are legal cannot be punished, and this is the reason a similar bill was thrown out of the State Duma in 2006. The St. Petersburg bill has been criticized by the U.S. Department of State, the British Foreign Office, the Council of Europe and the European Parliament, as well as international human rights organizations including Amnesty International. Despite the outcry, the bill passed in a second reading on Feb. 8, when 30 deputies out of the 49 present voted for the law, and opponents fear it will pass in the third and final reading during the next Legislative Assembly session, scheduled for Feb. 29. In the most recent development, the bill’s author, Vitaly Milonov, chair of the Legislative Assembly’s Legislative Committee and a deputy from the ruling United Russia party, responded to one of the gay activists’ demands by scheduling a hearing on the bill and inviting several of the law’s opponents to attend. However, the local gay community views the hearing with little optimism. Speaking this week, Igor Kochetkov, the director of the local LGBT rights group Coming Out (Vykhod), said that the hearing was supposed to “show the world that the public was listened to, formally.” “It might not have any effect on the voting, because the bill passed in a second reading even despite the negative conclusion of the Legal Committee that drew attention to the facts that the bill’s wording was extremely vague and that the terms it used such as ‘sodomy,’ ‘lesbianism’ and ‘transgenderism’ were not defined by the law,” Kochetkov said. “If they don’t want to listen to their own lawyers, it can’t be excluded that they will simply ignore experts’ opinions, but they’ll have a formal excuse that they held a public hearing.” The lawmakers did add one specification to the bill before the Feb. 8 second reading, clarifying the offense as “the purposeful and uncontrolled public distribution of information capable of being detrimental to people’s health, as well as to the moral and spiritual development of minors, including forming distorted ideas about the social equivalence of traditional and non-traditional marital relationships.” The proposed fines for such activities were set as 5,000 rubles ($170) for individuals, 50,000 rubles ($1,700) for officials and 250,000 ($8,500) to 500,000 rubles ($17,000) for businesses. Kochetkov said the bill – which first emerged during the campaign for the Dec. 4 State Duma elections and reappeared in the midst of the presidential election campaign in early February – was simply a gimmick by the authorities’ to win the hearts of conservative voters. Milonov did not deny the bill’s political agenda. “"Now everybody can see: Those who are against homos are for United Russia, and those who are for homos are against us," he was quoted as saying by local weekly magazine Gorod-812 in November. The bill was supported by a number of nationalist and religious groups. Anatoly Artyukh, the local chair of the Orthodox Christian nationalist organization Narodny Sobor (People’s Assembly) described the bill as “just the first step toward reintroduction of criminal penalties for homosexuality in Russia” in an article on the group’s website. A Soviet law punishing male homosexuality with a prison sentence was repealed in Russia in 1993. In fighting the bill, gay and human rights activists draw parallels to persecution of gays in Nazi Germany. During a rally near the Legislative Assembly on St. Isaac’s Square on Feb. 8, Kochetkov held a sign reading “Hitler started with laws against gays.” The protest lasted only several minutes before being shut down by the police, who arrested six activists. Laws similar to the St. Petersburg bill were passed in the Ryazan Oblast in 2006 and in Arkhangelsk in 2011. In November, Valentina Matviyenko, chairwoman of Russia’s Federation Council and a former St. Petersburg governor, proposed that “promoting homosexuality” be outlawed throughout the entire country.

Admittedly, the items on my list of Summer Goals are easily attainable and, with the weather cooperating, the warm and sunny weekend made all but #6 a success. Number 6 is the one item that will stay in waiting...easily ignored until it becomes a must. The garden has already given us a bumper crop of spinach and lettuce, but this weekend we had a rare and delicious treat. Last year Manise clued me in on this phenomenon of hard-neck garlic, the garlic scape, which we'd never seen and did not know you could eat. Sunday we roasted a handful of scapes, flowers and all, with a bunch of other veggies and enjoyed their mild flavor and crunch. Most of our garlic crop is of the soft-nech variety, which does not produce scapes, so this was a rare treat. Before tackling #3 on my list, I had to ponder what sort of glassware would be appropriate for a martini if one did not own martini glasses? Smith came to the rescue, as he has a few of his grandfather's martini glasses (cr1930s). Sadly the shaker and many of the glasses are no long with us, but two of the remaining delicate treasures were perfect suited to our use. Since I live in a desert of cocktail accoutrements we have not found cocktail sugar to rim the edge, but I'm on the search. Otherwise, I think we've got this down.

This guide will show you how to access the live footage, recordings and settings of your Gamut camera or recorder, using a Windows or Mac computer. Before You Begin Your Gamut device will need to be turned on and connected to your internet router. You will need to use a TV to set up the recorder for the first time, follow the quick start guide to do so. After the initial setup, a TV or monitor is not necessary when accessing the recorder via a network connection. If you are using a recorder and cameras, make sure that the cameras are connected and working. If you are using a Wi-Fi bridge system with your camera, make sure that the bridges are turned on, wired correctly and communicating before you begin. Let’s Get Started Now that you have connected your recorder/camera to your internet router and turned it on, you will be able to view it using a program called Surveillance Client. First you will need to download some software called Device Config Tool, which will allow you to find out the IP address of the camera/recorder and edit some of the settings. Download it from here if you are using Windows, and here if you are using a Mac. Once the software has been downloaded and installed, you will see a window like the screenshot below. Make a note of the camera/recorders IP address. If the recorder/camera does not appear in the program, first ensure they are turned on and check the connections from the device to your internet router. If you are using a Wi-Fi bridge system, make sure that they are configured correctly (if they were not pre-configured) and are both turned on. Surveillance Client If you are using Windows you can download Surveillance Client from here. If you are using a Mac, download it from here. When you have downloaded and installed Surveillance Client you will be presented with a set-up wizard. Click Next, then Add Online Device. Your recorder/camera should appear in the list; select it then click Add Selected Device. Now choose a name for the recorder/camera. By default the username is admin and the password is blank. Now click 'Add'. You will see the device appear in the left hand pane. Select it, click 'Import', then open the 'DefaultGroup' folder on the right side and you will see it has been added. Click 'Next' then 'Finish' and you will be taken to the main menu. Now click on 'Main View'. When you are taken to Main View, double click on DefaultGroup, then the name of your recorder (if you have one) and the cameras will be shown. In the screenshot I only have one camera connected, which is signified by the green play icon. Double click on the camera name to begin live view. If you want the camera to be in full screen, double click on the live feed. To access recordings, go to back to the Control Panel and then click on Remote Playback. Open up DefaultGroup on the left side panel, then select the cameras which you would like to view recordings from and click the play button. You can select the date using the calendar on the bottom right. To access the settings of the recorder/camera itself, go to the Control Panel, click on Group Device, then click on the spanner icon next to your recorder. For more information on the settings of the recorder, please refer to the quick start guide or the manual.

Tartan 14 - 'Far From the Apple Tree' will screen at the Toronto International Spring of Horror Festival. Valeska from Anatomy of a Scream has written a preview review here for us - Words (c) Valeska, reprinted from the above page below: [TISH] Far From The Apple Tree (2018) Delivers Artful Psychological Horror The 2019 Toronto International Spring of Horror festival comes to an end tomorrow evening. We’ve had fun covering a few of the shorts and features, and recommend that you check out tomorrow afternoon’s screenings. Grant McPhee’s Far From the Apple Tree (2018) can best be described as experimental, semi-art house, female-driven folk horror. Written by Ben Soper (Night School), the film tells the story of Judith (Sorcha Groundsell) an aspiring young digital artist who hasn’t yet found her voice. While at an art exhibit featuring the work of renowned artist Roberta Roslyn (Victoria Liddelle), Judith becomes transfixed by a particular piece. Her attention doesn’t go unnoticed. Roberta tracks her down to ask her opinion of the work and to make an intriguing and unexpected offer—she asks Judith to move into her country home and take on the task of archiving her work. A starstruck Judith accepts, against the advice of those close to her. Welcomed into Roberta’s lavish and isolated home, Judith settles in to begin her work and explore the grounds. As she learns more about Roberta’s work and personal life, she becomes obsessed with the artist’s missing daughter, Maddie, who figures prominently in both the art and in conversations with Roberta. As Judith struggles to learn more about Maddie, the mystery deepens. And in trying to uncover the truth about Maddie, Judith starts to lose herself. Far From the Apple Tree creates a frightening and foreboding narrative without a single jump scare, overt threat, or drop of blood. Its psychological horror and paranoia are heightened by its experimental visual techniques, which leave the viewer feeling slightly off-kilter and disoriented. Far From the Apple Tree screens alongside Skin Deep (2018), a short directed, edited, and co-produced (with Sabrina Spilotro) by friend-of-the-squad Ryan Couldrey (Fistful of Molars), written by AOAS’s Suri Parmar, and starring frequent AOAS and Grim guest contributor Ali Chappell. This modern fairy-tale-gone-wrong takes a grim appraisal of societal beauty standards for women and offers a grisly (and decidedly unorthodox) solution, delivered with sly and knowing humour. The 100% practical effects by Sara Feehan and some inspired casting make Skin Deep a visceral, unsettling-—and yet somehow empowering?—experience. Far From the Apple Tree and Skin Deep will be shown with The Collector (2018), a short film about a woman who refuses to lose her head. Catch them all on Sunday, April 7th at 4:00 pm at Imagine Cinemas Carlton.

100 meters of fresh air licks your feet while you are moving on across a blank wall sparingly dotted with crystal edges. Like the splashes on the mirror while you are washing hands in the bathroom, infrequent and invisible. Birds fly by, making a whipping noise while watching you passing this 60 meter long journey. It only takes them a blink. Hands up at your head level, utilizing holds that are smaller than your first finger joints, to keep yourself into the wall. Nature is forcing you to surrender, but you can’t give up quite yet. Between you and oblivion, the only thing that is saving you is a couple chair sized loose block, and a thin rope attached to your harness. One fall of merely 1 meter made everything out of reach.

Happy birthday to the gorgeous Likuliku Lagoon Resort – the only overwater resort in Fiji – which celebrated its 10th birthday on 15 April. The internationally acclaimed resort is 100 percent Fijian-owned and pioneering in its vision, which was clear from the start: “My vision was to introduce overwater bungalows/bures – something that didn’t exist in Fiji and that past developers had said could never be built in Fiji,” says Tony Whitton, local Fijian entrepreneur and Managing Director of Ahura Resorts (Likuliku’s parent company). “I also wanted to provide a unique resort, modelled on a traditional Fijian village similar to where I grew up as a child. I felt it was important we emulated a traditional design concept and utilised the skills of local Fijian villagers and construction materials to showcase things like the beauty of the soga thatch, bush bamboo, native hardwoods and pandanus weave.” Deluxe Beachfront Bure interior Tony fulfilled this vision on 15 April 2007, when Likuliku Lagoon Resort opened as an adults-only retreat, offering a unique haven of relaxed refinement with Fiji’s first and only overwater accommodation. Within months of opening and over the ensuing years, the resort would be honoured with significant travel awards and accolades including, Best Overseas Resort in Luxury Travel magazine’s Gold List five years in a row, five-times winner of the HM (Hotel Management) Award for Best Fijian Property, and five-times winner of the Fiji Tourism Luxury Accommodation Award. Likuliku is also the only Fijian resort honoured in The World’s Top 20 Greatest Escapes by the USA’s Islands magazine, and last year was named in the venerated Condé Nast 2016 Reader’s Choice Awards as No.9 in the Top Resorts in Australia and the South Pacific category. Poolside at Likuliku “We set out in 2007 to create a product the likes of which hadn’t been seen in Fiji before,” says Tony. “Not only did we achieve this through the construction of an amazing physical asset, but we set new standards and levels in resort service, cuisine and product integrity, and have maintained it and sustained it for the last decade. Critical to Likuliku’s success are the fantastic staff who are the heart and soul of the resort. Thirty-five per cent of our existing staff have been with us since opening. We thank them all for their dedication and contagious enthusiasm as they set about ensuring guests enjoy and indulge in our tranquil oasis while enjoying world-class food and a quintessential and unique Fijian holiday experience.” View from an over-water bure bed Likuliku is situated in the Mamanuca group of islands in Fiji’s west, 25km from Nadi International Airport. Guests can arrive at Likuliku by helicopter or seaplane (10 minutes), 40 minutes by speedboat transfer or one or two hours by thrice-daily fast catamaran.

How’s everyone adjusting to back to school? I have to say things are going great. I forgot to buy a dictionary for the fifth grader, who is convinced she can, in fact, carry all her books in a toddler sized back pack (I mean how cute is it though?). I sent birthday muffins for the first grader who is zipping through her school books at warped speed (but whom may or may not have forgotten half her books the second day of school). On the bright side, neither child forgot her lunch and we didn’t oversleep (a very real concern because getting anywhere by 9:15 is a major feat for our night owl family). So, that’s the update for our transition to back to school this week. We are all loving it, despite the hiccups. Even the little preschoolers at home are soaking up the mommy time and we did “school” twice already and I’m pleased to announce that my Wild Thing four year old loves sitting and learning more so than even the girls ever did. We also had fun doing puzzles and playing games. It was so pleasant to just devote attention to one child for once without jealousy or interruption (the tv was keeping the baby occupied though- I’m not super mom over here). So far so good on the decision to share my homeschool burden with our community. Fingers crossed for a great school year. Minnie Mouse Coup c/o Kid Trax In other news, this month we celebrated two birthdays. Number one turned double digits early in August. Not to be outdone, the second child has asked every single day since about the first of April how many days there were left until her own birthday. I’m proud to announce there are officially DONE with birthdays for the year. I wasn’t sure we were going to make it for a while there. But, we did and now all children have officially passed through the ritual of turning another year older in 2018. The only one left is daddy and poor guy- being at the bitter end, he always gets shafted on that one but we’ll think of something this year, maybe (I never can top the time we threw him a family birthday in July party when I got all of Facebook to wish him happy birthday on a day that was decidedly not). Since Kid Trax featured prominently in birthdays this year, I thought it appropriate to shout out to them. Best. Ride on toys. Ever. Littlest one got a “boo car” for his 2nd birthday and has finally succumbed to his fate of being the youngest- always the passenger never the driver. On the other hand, after giving the girls hoverboards for early birthday gifts, we got a surprise package on the front step. A Minnie Mouse car. It was one of those “bank error in your favor” moments in life. We weren’t supposed to get the Minnie car but after seeing that little face, I’m sure glad we did. It might be my favorite we’ve gotten, though the boys are pretty content with their newest addition of a Captain America motorcycle with side car (I’ll save that for a separate post). The arrival of the new toy meant a birthday surprise and a little shuffling of car ownership (the oldest wanted one desperately and now is the official “owner” of the Land Rover though they all play musical cars anyway). Since I’m feeling a bit old and tired and quite honestly overwhelmed, this was the perfect solution to making the birthday extra special without a trip or party. Thank goodness for Kid Trax. According to the newly minted seven year old: BEST. BIRTHDAY. EVER. That’s our new right now, it’s a bit of fun and chaos and a whole lot of exhaustion but we’re loving it. Now, if only the rain gives us a little break, I’m ready to let this summer go. I’m sure going to miss the sun (we didn’t see it enough anyway!) but I’m ready for all things apple cider and pumpkin pie and maybe a little brighter season in life.

One thing I have to remind myself is that attraction isn’t something you question or feel bad about. When you’re attracted to someone sexually, you know for a fact and don’t feel bad. :)

New college grads… They’ve made it through their college years and now it’s time for the next stage and all that it entails, from securing a job to finding a place to live. And with all they have to handle, thinking about financial planning might just end up on the back-burner. But developing a workable financial strategy can help them successfully transition from student to full-time member of the workforce. With that in mind, we reached out to James R. Moyer, CFP® for some advice on how they can get all their financial ducks in order. Moyer, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner at Schneider Downs Wealth Management Advisors, L.P., has some excellent recommendations for new college grads that he shared in our interview. WHN: What are some of the financial challenges facing new college grads? Moyer: They most likely have to deal with student loan debt while finding a good paying job without having work experience. Most grads will no longer be able to count on financial support from their parents for living expenses such as groceries, insurance and cell phone bills. Plus they will also have rent or mortgage payments that they might not have had before. WHN: That’s a lot to juggle and it’s understandable that they may think financial planning is limited to figuring out how they can address their immediate needs. What advice can you offer to help them take the long view when it comes to their finances? Moyer: I recently met with a client’s son who just graduated and is moving out on his own. Fortunately for him, he isn’t leaving college with any student loan debt, but he still had numerous questions that many other young adults might also be asking. Whether you do or don’t carry student loans, let’s walk through some helpful steps for entering this phase of life. Determine your long- and short-term goals— and immediate financial needs. Create a realistic budget including fixed expenses (i.e. rent, utilities, car payment, insurance premiums, etc…) and discretionary expenses (i.e. dining out, entertainment, clothing, travel, etc…), making sure to allocate a safe cushion amount for unexpected expenses. Set up an emergency fund. The amount will vary based on incomes per household and job stability, but a general rule of thumb for recent college graduates is to save six months’ worth of living expenses. Be sure to contribute to your company’s retirement plan. You should be contributing at least the amount that your company matches; otherwise, you’re turning down free money. If you do find yourself with extra cash, count yourself grateful and begin to tackle debt and save money for long-term goals such as buying a home, preparing for a wedding, and other large purchases. Allocating excess funds to higher-interest debt first, known as the “debt snowball,” should save you money in the long run. WHN: What are the top three strategies that new grads should consider implementing when they are working out their financial plans? Complete a realistic budget and stick to it. Save, save, save. Save for retirement early in your career. The power of compounding interest is a real thing and not just made up in textbooks. And start a savings plan for your emergency fund. Don’t allocate too much as to avoid putting any money in your 401(k), but make this a priority. Determine a reasonable student loan repayment strategy, so you aren’t putting your entire paycheck towards repayment. College graduates often feel that they need to pay off all of their student loan debt immediately. While that isn’t a bad idea, it’s not always the best one. Unless the interest rate is very high, you may be able to earn a higher rate investing your money. WHN: When it comes to important documents, what should they put in place for “just in case” scenarios”? There are several documents that will make your loved ones’ decisions easier in the event that you become incapacitated. A will—a document that will direct your assets to beneficiaries of your choosing in the event of your passing. While it doesn’t seem important when you’re young and haven’t accumulated much, it could eliminate unnecessary stress for your family. A living will, or advanced directive, allows you to determine your wishes for end-of-life medical care. A healthcare durable power of attorney designates an agent to carry out the wishes listed in your living will. A financial durable power of attorney also assigns an agent, and gives them the legal authority to act with broad power over your finances on your behalf should you become incapacitated. Also, designate the beneficiaries for your bank accounts, life insurance, 401k and any outside retirement accounts. These accounts will avoid the probate process if beneficiaries are assigned. By avoiding probate, your assets will transfer to the beneficiary of your choice in a more efficient manner. WHN: Where should new grads go for financial planning advice: their accountant, their banker, a financial adviser? How do they know who they need? When it comes to seeking out financial advice, always choose a fiduciary—a person who is required by law to act in your best interests. An easy way to figure out if someone is a fiduciary is by looking at their credentials. Certified Financial Planners (CFP®), Certified Public Accountants (CPA), and Chartered Financial Analysts (CFA®) all have to abide by the fiduciary standard, or risk being barred from the applicable accrediting agency and fined. The financial services industry has become very saturated with salespeople; unfortunately, these salespeople aren’t always acting in the best interest of their client. Although they may try to persuade you that they are acting in their client’s best interest, their real objective is to make the next high commission sale. A general rule of thumb is to seek help from a CFP®. These individuals have an in-depth understanding of investments, taxes, estate planning, and overall financial planning. If they don’t know the answer, they typically have an expert in their network they can refer you. WHN: Where else can they go for information? If your new job offers a retirement plan, schedule a meeting with your company’s 401(k) plan administrator. Depending on the company, they may provide one-on-one sessions with retirement planning consultants who will help you. If that’s not an option, seek help from a credentialed professional. If you have any questions about the financial choices you’re facing as a recent college graduate, feel free to contact your local Schneider Downs representative.

One of my favorite "Freebies" at Walt Disney World is The Electrical Water Pageant. This is a free, floating water parade on Bay Lake and the Seven Seas Lagoon that runs nightly starting at 9:00pm- or as soon as the 9:00 fireworks at the Magic Kingdom are over. It can be canceled if there are high winds or inclement weather. This water parade started in October of 1971 and has run continuously as a popular attraction since. Every night, 14 barges totaling 1000 feet long, containing thousands of lights strung on mesh screens, float across the lake playing synthesized music from Disney animated movies. The lights form different shapes such as King Neptune, various creatures such as dragons, dolphins, seahorses, dinosaurs and octopi (I'd rather say "octopuses, but that's not correct!). The end of the parade is a salute to America with the Stars and Stripes on the barges. The bright lights and synthesized music from the Electrical Water Pageant inspired Disney Imagineers to create a parade for Disneyland and Walt Disney World called the Main Street Electrical Parade! The Electrical Water Pageant can be viewed from the following resorts at these approximate times: Polynesian - 9:00 pm Grand Floridian - 9:15 pm Wilderness Lodge - 9:35 pm Fort Wilderness - 9:45 pm Contemporary - 10:05 pm Magic Kingdom (only during extra magic hours)- 10:20 pm You can also see the parade from the entrance area of the Magic Kingdom near the loading dock for the ferry boats. Check with guest relations or a cast member to inquire about the best area to view the Electrical Water Pageant!

When Satoru Mori was 20 years old he watched a Japanese TV program that followed Tokyo-based sommelier Hiroshi Ishida in his attempt to win the World’s Best Sommelier competition. While Ishida would place third, Mori, then a law student at Nihon University was mesmerized and instantly found his new calling in life. “In most cases, you become a sommelier because you like wine. I started drinking wine because I wanted to become a sommelier,” says Mori, now the executive sommelier at Conrad Tokyo. After graduating university, Mori obtained Wine Expert and Sommelier qualifications from the Japan Sommelier Association, where he returned later to earn a Senior Sommelier qualification. He worked with sommeliers in Sydney and Adelaide in Australia and in Napa Valley and earned his stripes at Hotel New Otani Tokyo’s French restaurant, Tour d’Argent. “Through the experience of living in all of these places, especially in Napa, you see that wine is a basic part of life,” says Mori. “In Napa, if you don’t have wine, you don’t have a meal. It is very different than here in Japan.” Mori also trained in France, the Mecca of wine, in Paris and Bourges, where not only was his passion for wine deepened, but he discovered France’s gratuity system, something they don’t have in Japan. “By giving a better experience to patrons, I got better tips. So that inspired me to become a better sommelier,” jokes Mori, who has an easy smile and a quick laugh – important traits for a sommelier who needs to be able to instantly connect with discerning oenophiles from around the world. After winning first place in the Asia-Oceania Best Sommelier Competition in 2009, and making it to the quarterfinal round of the 2013 World Sommelier Competition in Tokyo, Mori was selected as a semifinalist in the 15th Edition of the World Sommelier Competition held in Mendoza, Argentina in April 2016. Mori placed eighth in the world, five spots ahead of his idol Ishida. “When I was young I wanted to be a top pro soccer player and play in the World Cup,” says Mori. “Instead I was able to get to the world cup of wine.” In addition to having an encyclopedic memory of wines from around the world, Mori is an aficionado of Japanese wine, touring wineries throughout the country and even writing a regular magazine column about Japanese wineries. When he has time to get away on a personal vacation, Mori’s preferred destination is a Japanese winery, particularly in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan’s home for wine. “My wife hates it, but I love to visit Japanese wineries,” says Mori. “I went to Nagano in the middle of summer and spent five hours in the vineyard. You won’t find me in Hawaii any time soon.” Sitting down at a table in a private dining room at Conrad Tokyo’s restaurant China Blue (which has an 8-meter walk-in wine cellar), Mori shared his love for Japanese wines, and the regions that produce them. - What do you enjoy about being a wine sommelier in Tokyo? I have worked in many different places, where I was able to talk to a lot of people about wine. Now that I am in Tokyo, we have international patrons coming from all corners, and I have a chance to talk with people from all over the world. We don’t necessarily have deep discussions about wine, but I can talk to them and gain insights about where they are from, and I get a chance to introduce them to my home. Generally people are here because they are interested in Japan, and I am able to introduce them to Japanese culture. In France, I don’t have that chance, and here in Tokyo, I like that. - What is your opinion of Japanese wine? Being a sommelier, Japanese wine is just one among many in a large cabinet of wines that we introduce. Japanese wine isn’t as well-known as other wines, though that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. That means there are a lot of possibilities. That means that there is a chance for Japanese wine and Japanese wineries to create their own identity. - What is the best way to drink Japanese wine? In terms of wines in France, the golden rule is this wine pairs with this food. Chablis goes with oysters. In Japan you don’t have that distinction, even with sake. You have food that goes well with sake, but you don’t have specified foods that pair with different varieties. To be frank, Japan’s wine culture is underdeveloped. The best way to drink Japanese wine is with Japanese food, like mackerel–a grilled fish–or dried squid. There is nothing that specifically goes well with Japanese wine, so you should try what you like and see what pairs well. - What is special about Japanese wine? The production of wine in Japan is truly a study in innovation. Japan’s climate is not necessarily ideal for growing grapes–any kind of grapes including fruit grapes. But because of Japanese monozukuri, or craftsmanship. The farmers adapted and learned how to grow grapes. They hang miniature paper umbrellas on each bunch of grapes to protect it from the rain. Because the landscape is different in Japan, you have the growing technique called tanajitate, where the grapevines hang from trellises. This allows for ventilation, and it makes the grapes easier to pick without stooping down. It’s something you won’t see in any other wine region in the world. Japanese wine is a product of Japanese craftsmanship. - Where are your favorite wineries in Japan? As it happens, I have written a book on this very topic. I have visited 30 wineries from Hokkaido to Kyushu to Okinawa. Yamanashi is my favorite by far because it is designed more like Napa Valley, where you are able to go to three or four wineries in a day. Plus Yamanashi is only two and a half hours from Tokyo. You can stay the night. You have the nice onsen. It’s a great way to spend a vacation. - What Japanese wine regions are producing some exciting new wines? Hokkaido definitely. It has a very unique climate. It doesn’t have high humidity like the rest of Japan. It doesn’t rain as much. There are no typhoons. It snows, but grapes are not out hanging on the vineyards at that time of year. So, if you have the money, you go to Hokkaido to make wine. - What makes Japan wineries a good holiday destination? If you go to a normal winery anywhere around the world, you go inside the lounge area and sample wine and maybe you go to the factory and see how it’s made. Because Japan doesn’t have space, the winery is located next to the vineyard. If you have a chance to visit the plot of land where the grapes are growing, I recommend that you just stand there, right in the middle of the field. You can experience how the grapes are growing. You can enjoy the wind, the sunset, all the things you can’t do when you go to a winery elsewhere. - If you could drink any Japanese wine anywhere in Japan, what and where would it be? I would go to Yamanashi because that is the wine capital of Japan, and I would drink a Koshu wine, because Koshu is the wine of Japan. EXPLORE EXPLORE SAKE MAP In Japan, you can enjoy various kinds of sake in each region. Visit each region, meet the people and its culture, and enjoy the sake of Japan.

This was before I ever did yoga. Maybe it was a bit of a mean assumption and judgement. But it resonates with me now more than ever. I see myself in it more than when I first drew it. Consistent mindfulness and lovingkindness are challenging, and that to me is a sign that they’re meaningful. Thank you The support for the first issue of ERSATZ meant so much to me. I had a blast printing out more issues after the initial batch sold out. So thank you! I’ve begun compiling old and new works for the second issue, which I think I’ll publish in the fall. Feeling creative After a bit of a lull in creativity (probably due to the sheer amount of personal stuff going on with both moving to a new rental and, wow, getting married all in less than a month!!), I am feeling excited and the ideas are flowing. I’ve been drawing and doodling and writing again. It’s a challenge to not beat myself up over the times where I’m not creative, but I’m getting more comfortable with the ebb and flow. When the creative wave comes, I try to ride it for as long as I can and revel in it. I am particularly excited about making comics again. I took an extended break due to recurring hand pain, but I’d like to try to overcome that. I am drawn to the visuals of comics, and I’d like to experiment more with bringing together prose, illustrations, and sequential art. Cataloging my story drafts and ideas made me realize I have a bunch of material that’d be perfect for comics. So I’m going to start working on those and get back in the practice of drawing and painting regularly. More to come soon! Odds & sods Personal life has been good lately. Becky and I are fielding the stresses of major life changes pretty well, I’d say! And we’re managing to take care of ourselves and do some fun things. We went to Planet Word in DC last month. It’s a new museum about language. It was neat, probably more fun with a kiddo, but I really love this globe they have there that corresponds with a bunch of different people sharing info about their native languages. I dog sat Hudson, my brother’s family’s dog recently. He’s not the best walking partner though. When he gets warm, he plops down and refuses to get up, even if it’s in the middle of the road. Because I’m thinking a lot about making comics, I’m reading a lot of comics. In addition to buying some floppy comic issues and checking out new series, I’ve been loving The World of Edena by Moebius. His art stirs something deep inside of me that’s so moving. His style seems so uniquely him and seems both effortless and incredible. Love these colors This page, when in sequence with those preceding it, is really impactful and beautiful If you’re unfamiliar with Moebius, I’d recommend searching his art online or seeing if your library has anything by him. When I see his imagery, it makes me want to try to make something just as moving and creative. I’ve been reading Star Wars novels and comics after not giving a hoot about the universe for years. Star Wars meant so much to me growing up. I watched the “I am your father” scene with my grandpa on cable TV and can remember sitting there on the couch looking at the hulkingly tiny TV like it was yesterday. Then my friend Ryan and I watched the VHSs of the original trilogy that his family had. I was enamored. Ah, nostalgia! Every so often I’ll return to the galaxy far, far away. What’s staggering is how much media there is for Star Wars from the past forty-plus years. I’m reading this non-canon book called Kenobi, and it’s quite good. There are also some stand out comics, like Vader: Lord of the Sith. They flesh out characters and stories in a way that’s familiar yet exciting. At its best, Star Wars feels is a big shared playground for creators to play in. The familiarity makes it accessible. But sometimes the familiarity becomes rote. The stories tend to not be as subversive or experimental as I want them to be—they’re safe. Which eventually becomes uninteresting. Star Wars as an exercise in shared world building is fascinating. I’d love to see more strange works that don’t follow familiar plot beats or characters set in it. I want some weird shit in Star Wars. Some mind-bending shit. But it is, in a lot of ways, mass entertainment, which makes it difficult to take creative risks. The comics and novels can push the boundaries a bit more than the shows and films because the stakes are lower, which is appealing to me. Whenever I start down this thought thread, I start taunting myself by saying You don’t need Star Wars, just make your own bonkers sci-fi universe and do whatever you want. I love that idea, so yeah, I should do that! I get that existing properties are what people get excited about, and if creators can tell interesting stories within them, that’s cool with me. I’m guilty of the high crime of fandom at times, but it’s also a bit frustrating and depressing. I’d rather be a fan of a person than a commercial universe, but that’s a different newsletter… The album True Love by the band Hovvdy has been hitting the spot lately. It’s sensitive folk/indie music that’s super catchy. The song “Blindsided” gives me goosebumps when I listen to it. Be well & don’t forget to stay hydrated (but don’t drink too much, like it’s okay if you only have a few glasses of liquid every few hours, you don’t need to competitively drink water, okay, bye).

So, it's been awhile (again) and that reflects what is perhaps a loss of excitement I now hold towards blogging in a world where I seemed chained to a computer six and a half days a week keeping up with work and other obligations I've taken on because they seemed fun at the time. But hey, I'm here typing now, so rather than complain, let me bring you up to date on a few things I left hanging ... Remember that assignment ... Do you remember that Uni thesis I blogged about back in February? The one where I essentially researched and wrote a 10,000 word post-graduate thesis in a single day and promised myself, I would never, ever, ever do something like that again if only the gods allowed me to pass .. Well I passed .... In fact I got 68%, which means I can now add a Graduate Certificate (Public Sector Leadership and Management) to my C.V. But that's only the beginning of the story ... At about the same time that I completed this assignment, the State Government released their "Agenda 2016" plan of work for the next year which included the preparation of a Draft Cycle Tourism Strategy. That may not excite you, but writing something like that is a dream job for me. I so wanted to be involved, so I set off to find out who was doing it (with my assignment under my arm as evidence of my knowledge in this area) to see if I could be involved somehow ... The story from there is a bit boring and convoluted, but the end result is that part of the reason why this blog and tassietrails.org are looking a bit unloved at the moment is because I may have gotten my wish ... and am now a little bit involved. So there you go ... that was a day well spent doing that assignment. Oh ... I should also mention that in a true demonstration of how little I learn from these experiences, I've gone and enrolled myself in yet another four day post-grad short course (this time in public transport planning). Hey, it seemed like a good idea at the time, but god help them if they start talking about pre and post course assignments. Remember that Trek Frame warranty ... Remember my broken Trek 520 that I wrote about back in January? The one where I was attempting to get a replacement for my thirteen year old frame under Trek's lifetime frame warranty after it snapped on a ride into work ... Well, it was a bit of a palaver having to strip everything off the frame, but kudos to Trek, they honored their warranty and I have a new bike. Well actually, I have a new bike frame ... ... and I have a lot of old parts which I'll probably never get around to putting back on this new frame. I did get a price for a new groupset for the bike, but the price came in at $1,150, plus around $150 to put the bike back together. So $1,300 all up. Given that I can buy a brand new carbon bike with a 105 groupset for around $1,500 at the moment, that just seems a little expensive to me and so it's all been bundled away into a part of the garage I seldom enter to gather dust. So a chalk mark in the win column for getting the new frame, and a chalk mark in the lose column given that I'll probably never do anything with it. Thief! For those of you who follow my tassietrails facebook page, you'll know that I had my road bike stolen back in April which was kind of upsetting. But, if you let these things get you down, then ... well, you'll be down. So I didn't let that happen. I wished the thief all the best with his/her new bike and then embraced the opportunity I had to buy a new bike without having to increase my 'N' quota and more importantly getting too close to that S-1 barrier (if you have no idea what I'm talking about read rule 12 here. A few days of shopping later, I was the proud owner of a new gravel grinder ... I even went and got a professional bike fit down ... Which turned out to be a complete waste of time because after having my seat and handlebar height and angles tweaked by half a millimetre here and a full millimetre there, after a few days of riding I ended up lifting the seat about 2 to 3 centimetres higher than the bike fit had set it ... A story, by the by, that every other cyclist I've talked to has also done. But after a bit of adjustment, I'm loving the new bike. Finally, that Strava challenge ... Remember the 100km per week challenge I set myself this year. Well with the combination of my bike theft, needing to pick up and drop off kids before and after school and work travel commitments reducing my cycling commuting opportunities, and to top it all off, some very painful periods of gout which have prevented me from putting on cycling shoes ... well there is a big (and growing) gap between where I am and where I'm meant to be ... A 474km gap to be precise ... which is probably a good segue for me to end this post and go out and get on my bike ...

I’m just starting with NextCloud and so far my impressions couldn’t be better. A marvelous piece of software. The only feature I miss right now is the ability to hide/remove the overlay icons on windows explorer. I’m syncing all my data drive and would like the synchronization to be as transparent as possible. In case some file fail to sync I can see the details on the main window. Should I uninstall and install again without the explorer integration? Thank you in advance, Joel Fabiani tflidd June 17, 2018, 8:09am #2 I’m not sure if that is possible. I’d take a look in the bugtrackers if you can find something. joelfabiani June 17, 2018, 3:09pm #3 Thank you @tflidd, I was able to remove the overlay uninstalling and installing again without explorer integration.

The Coronavirus has made it not only to travel out to any place but the fact that when we look at a new place or a new person, we get that feeling of being scared of catching the virus that our willingness to travel is also gripped. Such an extreme feeling has become really common and the fact that a new place or a new location might have a higher chance of getting a person infected restricts a traveler to even go out of their house. Making this feeling a new normal, traveling to a new place, and staying at that place is going to change for good to push towards safer means of travel. You think you know all about catching Coronavirus? Check this. When we think of staying and sleeping at an accommodation that is not our home, the first thing we think of is how many people have actually been here and used it? Is it really been cleaned after their stay? Or is it even safe from any disease that the person might carry? All of these questions are not just going to be our simple thoughts but a grave concern, a concern that will be needing complete addressing and safety measures that will make sure that these doubts are vanished as quickly as they come inside a traveler’s mind. Leading hoteliers believe that these concerns and risks can be simply taken care of with a few safety precautions and wearing a mask at all times when outside the accommodation. A woman wearing mask the right to stay safe. You can check out the guidelines by the government of India to make face masks at home here and make a mask for all your needs to be safe from Coronavirus. Travel includes staying at a new place(obviously!) and a traveler could have a preference for staying at a posh location that has all the amenities and a person need not even go out of the property to have fun, and a traveler could even have a preference of going with the cheapest closest option to stay for the night or the day and be gone the next morning. However extreme a traveler would want their accommodation preference to be, the coronavirus is set to bring a few changes to all of them. Checking-in to accommodation is the first thing that a traveler has to do to start their stay at a new place. During check-in, there can be several violations of social distancing norms, like touching each other’s documents, handling cash, staying close to the attendant at the reception, standing close to other guests, etc. Having a digital, contact-less check-in will be the new normal in each accommodation, where a traveler will just walk into a hotel and head directly for their room that will be pre-allocated to them before even their check-in. A possible tech-travel solution for this could be, no need to show any documentation or a booking voucher, just QR or bar code on the phone that enables the door and unlocks it for a traveler to enter the hotel premises or the accommodation premises and head straight for their rooms. Think twice before reaching out for the bell! Escalators, lifts, or staircases, which one to prefer? It is pretty much clear that lifts are our worst enemies when it comes to social distancing. Staying in close proximity to a person for longer than 10 seconds is always a factor of risk. So, stairs might be safer than lifts and you can even eliminate the bulk of the threat by not touching anything like the railing or handles and walking at a distance from anyone walking close to you. The common areas like lobby, gyms, pools, spas, etc. will have to be tackled with utmost safety. Since these areas attract a lot of visitors, there is not only a chance of catching the virus from coming in contact with an infected person but from a surface that was in contact with an infected person. These areas will be limiting the number of guests on the floor and ensuring that each area is cleaned off at regular intervals. Swimming pools are much safer when it comes to Coronavirus because chlorine does not let the virus sustain. You can have a chill time at the pool but make sure that there are not a lot of people present and you are still steering clear and swimming at a distance. Although not a lot of hotels have opened swimming pools, it is something to look out for. Swimming pools are not as dangerous as you might think. Eating at a restaurant is going to be a little problematic. Not exactly problematic but very different. There will be a lot fewer customers that would opt to eat out, and even if they do, restaurants need to have a strict policy of how many foodies can even be present at once in the vicinity. The best solution to eating a meal at your favorite restaurant would be to order room service. Sanitizing your hands and eating a meal in your room is the best way to stay safe and eat during a trip when the pandemic is still at large. Getting to the accommodation and checking-in is fine but how do you really stay? Remotes, handles, faucets, toilets, surfaces, room keys, etc. All can carry a potential risk to infect a person from this highly contagious virus. Now we have two options, either you go berzerk and start sanitizing every corner of the room you’ll be staying in, from the handles to the TV, or you make sure that you keep your hands clean every time you want to eat something or do an activity that might involve you touching your face repeatedly. If you’re really paranoid, sanitize the hell out of the entire room. Touching door handles? Better sanitize the hell out of them. Another solution to the above problem is to make sure that the traveler that stayed in that room had no health conditions. If we try to determine how can we even get infected by staying in a room, it is most likely to happen if the person staying before had the coronavirus. The simple solution is to know their health status as well. Also, knowing that the room had been cleaned thoroughly after the traveler left the room and left untouched for at least a day as the virus can not sustain for long on surfaces. Many accommodations are going for this idea to make travel and stay safe, and also make travelers feel safer about their stay. Coronavirus has made human interaction to a bare minimum. To actually have bare minimum contact during a travel excursion is going to be a tough ask. When it comes to staying in outside accommodation, the main interaction is done with the staff present at the hotel or stay. Housekeeping is the major point of concern. To tackle this, hotels have reduced the number of staff in their property and also are keeping checks of whoever is coming to work to ensure this virus is not spread through the staff. A possible solution for you during your stay would be to have the cleaning done before your arrival and try to keep the room clean until it’s time for your checkout. This might look weird and uncanny but will be the new normal in hotels. The biggest problem that I think I would have addressed will be whether the linens and the blankets have been washed or not. Some stays have a bad reputation of not cleaning the linens properly, they just wash them in simple water and are done with it. When it comes to trusting a hotel for the same, I would recommend going to the hotel that you have already been in. It just brings that factor of trust and you can always say that they put their customer’s safety first. Another solution is to inquire first about the cleaning process of the accommodation and ask them what kind of cleaning product they use to wash the linens, I’m sure that if they know the answer to this and tell you the same, it will be a safe place to live in. The last thing that I would be concerned about would have to be the parking measures or arrangements in the accommodation. It might sound really weird but the fact that traveling will soon be shifting towards personal road trips and which means a ton of cars at a single accommodation. This parking concern also brings in the factor of valet parking and whether that is a safer option rather than walking towards a group of people that just came from another state. The problem with valet parking would be to trust a person that handles a lot of cars and hence meets a lot of people too, to counter this, make sure to sanitize your cars completely when you get it back from the valet. Another point is regarding hostels, how will hostels even undergo such drastic changes? Hostels have also come up with a few solutions of their own. First, not more than 50% occupancy in dorms will be allowed. Each dorm bed will be assigned alternatively to ensure social distancing. Common kitchens and bathrooms will have not more than 2-3 people at max at one time in them. Finally, making travelers aware of all the safety norms and basic rules of the hostel and social distancing will be their top priority. There’s this one thing that my friend asked me recently, what if a traveler falls sick during their stay in a hotel? It caught me off guard but I managed to ring-in a few hoteliers and asked what is their take on this, their replies. First, the person will be quarantined inside their room at the time of showing symptoms. Second, the concerned hoteliers will provide everything for their essential living and cordon off the entire floor. Third, they will have to contact the concerned authorities of the situation. Lastly, if the person is found positive for Coronavirus, they’ll be shifted to an appropriate place and the accommodation will be closed off for further stays and the guests living there will be tested and quarantined. Today, travelers are getting impatient over getting out of their houses and are looking for safe options to just go somewhere and relax. To make this possible, the accommodation managers have come up with unique solutions making this “dream” of vacation come true. Here are a few measures that are being taken by the accommodation authorities: Reduced and Trained staff with a sense of measures to be taken, all the staff undergo regular symptom testing and have a complete list of their health records. Guests have to carry a mandatory COVID-19 negative report to stay in the rooms, that too taken within 72 hours of stay. Touchless or digital check-in has been made the only option to start a stay. Areas have been marked inside the accommodation premises that are specified as zones to keep empty or only have a maximum number of people in it. There are boards and charts all over the properties that aware the travelers of the safety measures they need to take during their stay. The number of people that can be stayed in one accommodation at a given time is being capped depending on the area and rooms. In the event of a traveler getting sick, the staff has to follow proper protocol and inform the authorities. There will not be more than 1 person to carry out any task at the hotel unless it is urgently required, for example, one person to clean a room, to attend at the reception, at a restaurant to serve, etc. Every staff member is checked for symptoms regularly throughout the day, trained well in terms of each rule and protocol, and kept on accommodation premises to keep them safe. You can find the SOP on preventive measures in Hotels and Other Hospitality Units to contain the spread of COVID-19 ordered by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India here to check out all the safety measures each hotel has to take mandatorily. .p Download P • 164KB Now, the question is, is it safe to stay in hotels or any other accommodation during the Coronavirus outbreak? Simple answer, it is safe but with a lot of implications. You’ll need to be safe too and take safety precautions in order for your own safety and even the safety of others. Since we have to live with this virus as we live with any other disease, we have no option but to accept it and find solutions to different problems. In terms of stay, I would personally recommend staying in homestays as they are the safest bet of not having the virus anywhere near them but hotels are safe too with proper measures. Another safe and convenient option for any traveler would be to stay out in their camps at places with less to no traveler at all. A number of travelers have already started going out in their self-driven cars with camps in their trunks to stay out for a night. The Tarzan Way has come up with even a better solution, stay in Caravan. Caravans are motor homes that can be driven to any place that has a road and can be parked somewhere. A Caravan, a car on steroids that has it all. A Caravan comes with a kitchen, a bathroom, chairs that double up as beds to sleep at night, and obviously, that has wheels to take you places. A caravan, also known as a Recreational vehicle(RV), and also know as a motorhome is like a car on steroids. You won’t need to really go out when traveling in a caravan, you can obviously get out, if there are not a lot of people around but it’s the wholesome travel experience you would need in a world where there still looms the risk of getting infected by the coronavirus. If you are looking to travel during social distancing norm then you should check out our guide on transportation in India during the pandemic still at large. You can check out our Caravan experience here and our advisory for COVID-19 and traveling around India here.

The three readings chosen for the 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time allow us to pause and reflect on the actions of God's Spirit in salvation history. They reveal God's action in both the individual and in the community. In particular, the readings direct us to Ezra and members of the Jewish community, to Jesus and his reading from the prophet Isaiah, and to St. Paul and his teaching of the Body of Christ. Each reading, while different, reveals common threads that form a unity of belief: A person is empowered by God's spirit, is called by the community to speak, takes a stance and reveals a truth that is salvific. What has been handed on by God's Spirit to the Jewish community is revealed in Jesus and then handed on to members of the Christian community. While each of these themes reveals essential components in living out one's faith, they are particularly pertinent for each individual called to the health care ministry. The health care ministry reveals once more, often in simple and ordinary ways, the compassion of a loving and merciful God. Participating in the healing ministry of Jesus becomes a spiritual practice that incorporates the common threads of this Sunday's readings. First a closer look at the readings and then secondly, their implications for each of us called to the health care ministry as a spiritual practice. Common Threads The first reading is from the Book of Nehemiah, which recalls how the Jewish community came to understand God's Word as revealed in the Torah. Anointed by God's Spirit, Ezra is selected by the community to stand before them and read the Word of God. Ezra recognizes that a tradition has been handed on to him to transmit to the community, a tradition that is in itself energizing. What God revealed at Sinai is now revealed in the Torah and God's teachings are accepted by the people, the community of believers.In accepting God's Word, they experience the joy of the Lord which becomes their strength (Neb. 8:1-18). Luke wastes no time in announcing that although the Spirit of the Lord has been given to the Jews it is now given uniquely to Jesus. Jesus, who is filled with the power of the Spirit, returns to Nazareth and enters the synagogue. Jesus not only stands and reads from the prophet Isaiah, but asserts that the prophesies foretold by Isaiah are now being fulfilled in their hearing by himself (Lk 4: 18-21). God's Word is revealed not only in the scriptures, but in the Word made flesh in Jesus. He is filled with the Spirit of the Lord, stands before the assembly, and proclaims the fulfillment of God's promises. St. Paul, in his first letter to the Corinthians further develops the theology of the community of believers as being the body of Christ. As Paul has been anointed by Christ in becoming his disciple, he stresses that those who form the body of Christ, the community of believers who are grounded in God's Word, form the living Body of Christ. As there are many parts of a body that form a unity, so too, the Body of Christ has many members but the same Spirit, with a variety of gifts and services but the same Spirit (1 Cor 12:4). What has been handed down to Paul by God's Spirit, is also handed down to each member of the Body of Christ. A call, a stance, an anointing by God's Spirit and the fulfillment of the promises of God are made alive and real. Implications For Us Today CHA members across the different ministries are daily given the opportunity to incarnate the healing presence of God though their actions. The Word of the Lord becomes fulfilled in its hearing. Not yesterday, not tomorrow, but today in the personal interactions each caregiver undertakes with each resident, patient, and client. Good news is brought to the poor, those in captivity are released from their bondage, those who do not see or understand gain insight and wisdom, those who are oppressed by illness find comfort, support and experience the freedom of healing (Lk. 1:18-19). In commenting about Luke's Gospel, Biblical scholar and author Fr. Carroll Stuhlmueller said, "Today brings its own set of circumstances, some of them not clearly understood and clearly not anticipated. "What is promised becomes fulfilled.What is hoped for becomes real.In extending the healing ministry of God's love revealed in Jesus, the miracle is that each caregiver participates and makes real again God's love. A Spiritual Practice Health care then becomes a spiritual practice because each participant is challenged daily to respond to the cry of the poor, as revealed in those who suffer, are ill, elderly and dying. In one sense the art of caregiving may be viewed as a spiritual practice in which technical skills are interwoven with compassion and care. A spiritual practice is a form of asceticism and discipline such as meditation, yoga, ritual prayers, singing or chanting. There is a unique intention by and a goal for the practitioners that require a firm purpose of character, strength of will and determination. The dancing of the whirling dervishes of the Sufi tradition of Islam is such a spiritual practice that seeks union with the Divine. Dancing becomes the ritual and discipline.Meditation, through the repetition of prayer beads or knotted threads in the Buddhist, Catholic, Hindu and Islamic traditions, is another example of a spiritual practice where repetition and concentration lead one to a deeper meditative and prayerful state. In a similar way, the practice of health care, while following guidelines for the scope of practice, becomes a discipline and a spiritual practice. Excellence in practice and best outcomes do not occur randomly in health care. Excellence in service, quality and safety protocols along with expertise in treatments and technical skills require focus, attention and commitment. Healing is enhanced by the expertise of the caregiver and the therapeutic relationship that supports them. The dedication of many health care professionals requires a certain altruism and self-sacrifice in order to respond to the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of those who are ill. Dedication requires foresight, determination and purpose. Building relationships between caregiver and the one served can be argued to be spiritual because of the unique therapeutic relationship that develops. Indeed the art of healing, while not consciously always seen or experienced consciously as such, is a spiritual practice.
