Farmers Insurance is making it very easy for the public to help give premature babies a fighting chance at life. Between now and January 29, Farmers will donate $10 (up to $25,000) to March of Dimes for each new fan who "likes" the Farmers Insurance Open on Facebook. Farmers is kicking off 2012 by utilizing its high profile golf tournament, taking place January 23-29 in Torrey Pines San Diego, California, to help raise funds for an organization that does so much good for so many families. A supporter of March of Dimes for 25 years, in 2011 alone Farmers Insurance raised $4.9 million for the March of Dimes. "With a following of 2.4 million on the Farmers Insurance corporate page, when combined with the PGA TOUR and March of Dimes social media outlets, this initiative has great potential to reach millions," says Douglas A. Staples, senior vice president for Strategic Marketing & Communications at the March of Dimes.

If you want to feel more in control at mealtime or cut back on unnecessary or mindless eating, a Hunger Scale can be a useful tool to help you assess the physical symptoms of hunger and fullness. It's based on a scale ranging from 0 to 10, with zero being completely empty, and 10 being overly full.
Of course, we all experience and interpret feelings of hunger and fullness a little bit differently but the key markers are described below. Once you've familiarized yourself with the varying degrees of hunger and fullness and the symptoms that coincide, we'll explain how to use it.
What Hunger Scale Scores Mean
0 = Ravenous. I want to eat everything in sight. I probably have low blood sugar because I feel weak, shaky and irritable.
3 = Hungry. My stomach feels empty and is gurgling, rumbling or growling. Food is suddenly on my mind.
5 = Comfortable. I am neither hungry nor full. I could eat but not because I feel physical hunger.
7 = Satisfied. I'm no longer hungry and feel satisfied, physically. I may want to keep eating because it tastes good or is comforting, but I know if I eat more I will begin to feel uncomfortable.
10 = Stuffed. My stomach feels very uncomfortable and overly full. I feel sick from eating so much.
How to Use a Hunger Scale
Now that you're familiar with the hunger scale, here's how to put it to use.
1. Rank your hunger level before you begin to eat.
If you fall within the 0-1 range, pay attention to portion size and how fast you eat since you're more likely to over-serve yourself and eat too quickly. The first feelings of hunger can usually be felt at 2, and the first feelings of satisfaction at 5. This is the range in which it is a good idea to eat — but keep in mind, the closer you are to 5 the less it will take to feel satisfied. A small snack may be all you need.
2. Measure your hunger again mid-meal.
Rather than going on autopilot and gobbling up everything on your plate, check in with your hunger level midway through your meal. If you're starting to feel satisfied (somewhere in the 5-7 range, or beyond), put your utensils down and pack up whatever is left for another meal or snack later on.
3. Evaluate your hunger at the end.
If you fall within the 5 to 7 range at the end of your meal, you likely ate just the right amount.
If you rank above that, you probably overdid it a bit. It happens to us all every now and then! Rather than beat yourself up or feel guilty about overeating, try to get to the root of the behavior. Are you overtired or stressed? Were you overly hungry to begin with? Maybe you got wrapped up in conversation, or didn't want to waste what was left on your plate. There are many reasons we overeat, but understanding when and why it happens is the first step in helping you feel more in control and curbing emotional or mindless eating in the future.

SITS is the partner of ''ESO-ANGELS'' and ''ANGELS award program'' of ESO (European Stroke Organization).

The necessary information, including the introduction of the system, registration or activation of the registration, can be found at the following links. Please be advised that you can write your questions directly to the national co-coordinators or the TCDS society secretary.
On behalf of the local coordinators,

1080 HD Poor slave miles has been dropped off at the edging salon. He doesn't know it yet, but he's about to get forcibly milked. After he's been tied up, his teaser, Alexa, emerges in a white bathrobe. She welcomes miles to the Edging Salon. Alexa removes her robe. Miles still has no idea what's going on, but he can't help but check out Alexa's butt as she reveals her sexy teaser outfit. Even though he's clueless and tied up, maybe this won't be all bad for miles? Restrained, forced, milking is just one of the many things teasers do at the Edging Salon. They reprogram and train slaves using a variety of traditional and technological methods and means. Forced milking works great. Males are so entitled to having orgasms, so used to being in control of their own orgasms. Forcing an orgasm from a male takes away one of the things he's used to feeling in control of. Making him cum passively is an excellent form of slave training. You pacify the orgasm; you pacify the male. It works great even on unruly ones. They perceive that they are receiving pleasure, and they are, but through it they're being taught to relinquish sexual control to Women. (Note: This clip was filmed against a white wall, so there's not enough contrast to clearly see the cumshot when it happens. Priced accordingly.) (10:23 long)

ZEISS VISUFIT 1000 is a platform for the digital determination of 3D centration data, which is precise, quick and easy to use. With only a single shot a 3D image of the consumer can be created. Nine cameras and 45 million points ensure maximum precision of centration data. ZEISS VISUFIT 1000 provides the consumer with a 180° visualization of his/her head with the frames selected. Consumers try on at least seven different frames.
The visualization means they can see themselves from different angles on iPad or PC. A study from ZEISS (conducted in 2018) on centration confirms that online shopping has become routine for most consumers. Yet when they plan to buy glasses, 98% of those eyeglass wearers surveyed put their trust in an eye care professional and purchase their glasses offline. According to this study, the reasons for purchasing glasses offline are clear: consumers want precisely fitted lenses, good service and the expertise of an eye care professional. These are all areas where, in the future, eye care professionals can stand out from the crowd thanks to digital applications, systems and platforms – such as those by Zeiss. Currently, 52% of eyeglass wearers surveyed would consider purchasing their glasses online in the future. The same amount of respondents said that choosing frames virtually at home is very appealing to them. But at the same time, the majority (66%) admitted that a consultation with an eye care professional is still very important. According to Zeiss, this means that a local expert, someone they can trust, cannot be replaced. In this way eye care professionals can benefit from strengthening this relationship by enhancing the consultation with future-proof technology like ZEISS VISUFIT2 1000.

Will paid search increase or decrease in value in the coming years? How will paid search trends develop going into 2015?
Although analysts' and industry sources' predictions for 2015 generally run the gambit, they do agree on the significance of the priority that advertisers and Google have placed on mobile advertising. With mobile devices taking over, it comes as no surprise – but what specifically can we expect from this trend?
Market Predictions
In an article on Wordstream's blog, Dan Szetela says, "Mobile clicks will often represent the majority of clicks available to advertisers." SERPs are becoming more intuitive and in-app ads have become increasingly difficult to ignore.
Lisa Raehsler concurs, stating that mobile PPC will no longer remain an advertising luxury: by all indicators, it will enter the mainstream in 2015. Bing's John Gagnon underlines the importance of persona advertising, which is based on previous search and site behaviour and existing knowledge of customer habits from social media data.
Matt van Wagner predicts the death of native or sponsored advertising through the introduction of strict disclosure rules by the FTC. If this occurs – and it seems likely it will; the only question is how tough the disclosure rules are.
Marty Weintraub from aimClear predicts that keyword targeting will be further phased out in 2015, according to Wordstream. "They've taken steps in this direction with alternate targeting methods such as psychographic audience targeting…and introducing untargeting methods like replacing exact match with close variants," said Weintraub.
Clamping Down on Analytics
Search Engine Land reports on some other possible trends that may continue more vigorously in 2015, such as Google's innovation in analytics (the launch of Google Insights, for example) and tools in order to deal with black/greyhat SEOs.
This could also be an opportunity for legitimate third party analytics packages such as Adthena to develop its in-depth competitive analysis tools, as Google tries to commoditize the search market and clamp down on marketers' abilities to optimise their campaigns.
Google Increasing Advertising Real Estate
With mobile phone screens increasing in size, the advertiser loses out on advertising space when it designs for these larger devices and their smaller counterparts together, displaying ads without an eye to each screen size's individual layout.
In late September this year, Google blogged about several changes to paid search that would be adopted in the coming months, including many refinements in mobile advertising.
The various update announcements included:
Engagement ads based on HTML5, which resize according to the size of the device's screen. These ads expand to fill the screen of the device after a two-second hover delay. The goal with these ads is not clicks or conversions, but engagement.
TrueView will be rolled out for more apps in the AdMob network. These are full-screen video ads that are displayed to users while they engage with their favourite apps.
Anchor format ads for mobile: These ads stick to the bottom of the screen when scrolling and have been around for some time in desktop advertising.
Magazine-style text ads, which fill the entire screen of the device, for AdMob network apps. These utilise existing text ads and reformat them in an attractive, full-page format.

Day 12: Tell us about your favorite cookbook.
Eeny Meeny Miny Moe. I choose "Choices: Quick and Healthy Cooking" by Cheryl Thomas Caviness, published in 1994. I've had my copy for 20 years. I bought it from a Seventh Day Adventist who came knocking on my door. Weird, right? And weirder still, another Seventh Day Adventist came knocking on my door last year and sold me a new edition of the same cookbook. That's not my religion and normally I shun people who knock on my door at random hours, but I guess I was feeling generous those two days.
Why this book over all the others on my shelves? Well, just like the Moosewood cookbooks, this little gem taught me how to cook vegetables and grains. It's full of simple recipes for burritos and smoothies, which back in the day were totally unheard of to me! Who, before becoming vegetarian or vegan, had ever heard of putting a potato in a burrito? It was amazing to me! (I'm laughing as I type this!) And tofu! 20 years ago I didn't even know what it was. (Actually, 2 years ago I didn't know what it was! More laughter.)
Check out these photos to see how well-loved this cookbook is.
|I forgot about this recipe until just now - I'll have to resurrect it.
I used to think a cold rice salad was so 'fancy!'
|My all time favorite pie crust recipe. I used to make chicken pot pie every week.... .time to revisit that idea also and make a veggie pot pie.
|I made 120 servings of this at Vacation Bible School in 2011. Blenders galore!

Here's an interesting article by my colleague Brandon Shopp with ideas for protecting IT assets in battlefield situations.
"Dominance" and "protection" sum up the Defense Department's goals as U.S. armed forces begin to modernize their networks and communications systems. DOD is investing significant resources in providing troops with highly advanced technology so they can effectively communicate with each other and allies in even the harshest environments.
Efforts like the Army's ESB-E tactical network initiative, for example, represent an attempt to keep warfighters constantly connected through a unified communications network. These solutions will be built off more scalable, adaptable, and powerful platforms than those provided by older legacy systems.
Programs like ESB-E are being designed to provide wide-scale communications in hostile territory. It will be incumbent upon troops in the field to monitor, manage, and secure the network to fulfill the "protection" part of DOD's two-fisted battlefield domination strategy.
Moving forward to take this technological hill, DOD should keep these three considerations in mind.
Over the years, the battlefield has become increasingly kinetic and dependent upon interconnected devices and even artificial intelligence. The Army Research Laboratory calls this the internet of battlefield things—a warzone with different points of contact ultimately resulting in everything and everyone being more connected and, thus, intelligent.
The Pentagon is looking to take the concept as far as possible to give warfighters a tactical and strategic edge. For example, the Army wants to network soldiers and their weapons systems, and the Navy plans to link its platforms across hundreds of ships.
Opening these communication channels will significantly increase the potential attack surface. The more connection points, the greater the threat of exposure. Securing a communications system of such complexity will prove to be a far more daunting challenge than what's involved in monitoring and managing a traditional IT network. Armed forces must be prepared to monitor, maintain, and secure the entire communications system.
The line between soldiers and system administrators has blurred as technology has advanced into the battlefield. As communications systems expand, all service members must be able to identify problems to ensure both unimpeded and uninterrupted communications and the security of the information being exchanged.
All troops must be bought into the concept of protecting the network and its communications components and be highly skilled in managing and maintaining these technologies. This is particularly important as communications solutions evolve.
Soldiers will need to quickly secure communications tools if they're compromised, just as they would any other piece of equipment harboring sensitive information or access points. And they will require clear visibility into the entirety of the network to be able to quickly pinpoint any anomalies.
The armed forces must bulk up on staff to support these expansive modern communications systems. Fortunately, the military has a wealth of individuals with network and systems administration experience. Unfortunately, they lack in other critical areas.
Security specialists remain in high demand, but the cybersecurity workforce gap is real, even in the military. The White House's National Cyber Strategy offers some good recommendations, including reskilling workers from other disciplines and identifying and fostering new talent. The actions highlighted in the plan coalesce with DOD's need to fortify and strengthen its cybersecurity workforce as it turns its focus toward relentlessly winning the battlefield communications war.
Whoever wins this war will truly establish dominance over air, land, sea, and cyberspace. Victory lies in educating and finding the right personnel to protect information across what will undoubtedly be a wider and more attractive target for America's adversaries.

Seems to me this has been mentioned in 2 or 3 prior posts...essentially the same information just worded differently.
Thanks. I worry about what happens with this stuff fails. I know communications have always been critical in conflicts throughout history. Makes me wonder if we've gone too high tech when everyone a systems expert.
I don't know about these days, but when I was in the Marine Corps we learned to use technology but minimized our use of tech during training exercises. This way we were ready to play and could do just as well without the tech.
Thanks for the article!
basically its down to time, resources and scope
This turns into an ever-increasing challenge where general staff, officers, soldiers, civilians, and politicians are responsible for more and more knowledge and protection of information in far too many areas. If we had trustworthy AI that could do the jobs for us, securely and reliably, the folks on the other side would have matching AI's to try and defeat ours.
While spending loads on pounds of cure, it would also be sweet if we had a few ounces of protection mixed in. Things like:

A Catholic archbishop who called Hillary Clinton a "criminal liar, uniquely rich in stale ideas and bad priorities" in a speech at Notre Dame university last month has weighed into the presidential campaign again by lambasting the President Barack Obama's administration for being "the most stubbornly unfriendly to religious believers" in generations.
In his weekly archdiocese column Archbishop Charles Chaput wrote that he felt the Democratic Party felt that Catholic "bishops were dumb enough to be used as tools" four years ago during President Obama's re-election campaign and that little has changed this time round as evidenced by the "contemptuously anti-Catholic emails exchanged among members of the Clinton Democratic presidential campaign team".
"American Catholics helped to elect an administration that has been the most stubbornly unfriendly to religious believers, institutions, concerns and liberty in generations," Chaput wrote. The Archbishop of Philadelphia added that it would be wonderful if the "Clinton campaign to repudiate the content of these ugly WikiLeaks emails ... All of us backward-thinking Catholics who actually believe what Scripture and the Church teach would be so very grateful."
The attack comes after the outspoken archbishop labelled both candidates "very bad news for our country" during his delivery at last month's Tocqueville Lecture on Religious Liberty at the University of Notre Dame claiming that Clinton was "in the view of a lot of people ... a criminal liar, uniquely rich in stale ideas and bad priorities" and that Donald Trump, the Republican candidate was a "belligerent demagogue with an impulse-control problem". He added that since he began voting in 1966 "the major parties have never, at the same time, offered two such deeply flawed candidates".
The leaked emails at the centre of this week's controversy, sent in 2011, involved senior members of Clinton's campaign staff discussing "conservative Catholicism". One exchange was between Jennifer Palmieri, a Catholic herself, who is now Clinton's communications director, and John Halpin, a fellow at the Center for American Progress. They discussed Rupert Murdoch, CEO of News Corp, and Wall Street Journal managing editor Robert Thomson having had their children baptized as Catholics.
"Many of the most powerful elements of the conservative movement are all Catholic - many converts. ... It's an amazing bastardization of the faith," Halpin wrote in an email to Palmieri and John Podesta, Hillary's campaign chairman who was chief of staff to President Bill Clinton and has been a counsellor to President Barack Obama. "They must be attracted to the systematic thought and severely backwards gender relations and must be totally unaware of Christian democracy."
Halpin added: "I imagine they think it is the most socially acceptable politically conservative religion. Their rich friends wouldn't understand if they became evangelicals."
So far, the only response from the Clinton campaign to the leaked emails was a Time magazine story published online on Wednesday night in which Brian Fallon, a Clinton spokesman, responded to the charges of anti-Catholicism, calling it a "faux controversy" courtesy of a Wikileaks hack.
Earlier this week a number of Catholic groups called for Clinton to apologise for the sentiments expressed by her advisors. Joseph Cella, a Catholic liaison to the Trump campaign and founder of the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast, said these advisers in "viciously mocking Catholics as they have, turn the clock back to the days of the 20th-century 'No Catholics Need Apply' type of discrimination. Hillary Clinton and her campaign should be ashamed of themselves and should immediately apologize to all Catholics and people of goodwill in the United States."
Other emails leaked by WikiLeaks included an email to Podesta from Sandy Newman, president of Voices for Progress. "This whole controversy with the bishops opposing contraceptive coverage, even though 98 per cent of Catholic women, and their conjugal partners, have used contraception, has me thinking," said Newman. "There needs to be a Catholic Spring, in which Catholics themselves demand the end of a Middle Ages dictatorship and the beginning of a little democracy and respect for gender equality in the Catholic Church.
"Is contraceptive coverage an issue around which that could happen?" he asked in one of the leaked emails.

by J.R. Ward
Published by Signet on December 1st, 2015
Genres: Paranormal, Romance
Pages: 397
Paradise, blooded daughter of the king's First Advisor, is ready to break free from the restrictive life of an aristocratic female. Her strategy? Join the Black Dagger Brotherhood's training center program and learn to fight for herself, think for herself…be herself. It's a good plan, until everything goes wrong. The schooling is unfathomably difficult, the other recruits feel more like enemies than allies, and it's very clear that the Brother in charge, Butch O'Neal, a.k.a. the Dhestroyer, is having serious problems in his own life.
And that's before she falls in love with a fellow classmate. Craeg, a common civilian, is nothing her father would ever want for her, but everything she could ask for in a male. As an act of violence threatens to tear apart the entire program, and the erotic pull between them grows irresistible, Paradise is tested in ways she never anticipated—and left wondering whether she's strong enough to claim her own power…on the field, and off.
I was so excited when I heard that J.R. Ward was writing a spin off from her Black Dagger Brotherhood (BDB) series. Not only did it mean that we would be able to continue to peak into the lives of the brothers but it meant that I would get to read more awesomeness from this author! When I got my book in the mail from the publisher it was wrapped in the signature black paper and accompanied by her invitation and a RED (Blood) Hershey's "KISS". I was already in love……sighhhh and I DID NOT want to unwrap the book, however I knew the goodness that was waiting inside and dove right in like a mad woman.
This new series opens up centered around the BDB training center and bringing in new recruits. It focuses on not only a new couple (Paradise and Craeg) but also on a couple from the legacy BDB (Butch and Marissa).
We met Paradise briefly in the prior BDB series; she is the daughter of an aristocrat and is held in high esteem. She is determined to join the BDB training program- she has a plan and wants to learn to defend herself against the attacks the species has fallen victim to lately. It is here in the program that she meets Craeg. He is from a working class family who was lost to the raids. Craeg sees the program as not only a way out but a way to avenge his family.
"Do you like playing with fire, girl?" he growled. Because if you keep looking at me like that, I'm going to burn you to the ground."
Butch leads the new recruit program along with several other brothers so the stories tied in and flowed really well. Marissa is his mate and runs Safe Place. Butch and Marissa are having communication issues; she is still dealing with issues from her brother as seen in past books.
"You and I are not going to survive long term, regardless of love or bonding, if you keep airbrushing things. If I keep airbrushing things. It's not a good strategy for us—and if this makes you feel like you're on the spot? As if I'm giving you an ultimatum? I don't care. If anything gets in the way of our relationship, anything, I will mow that shit down—even if it is you."
The BDB series is one of my favorite paranormal series that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Although this new series focuses on a new set of characters, being able to glimpse the life that the legacy brothers are leading AND getting new characters is pure bliss for any lover of J.R. Wards original series.

2014 Nissan GT-R DT1200R by Garage D
Just when you thought that the Nissan GT-R couldn't be more awesome, British tuner Garage D built a program that really turns Godzilla into a full-blown mega monster.
It's arguably one of the most impressive programs for the GT-R and that might even be a safe assessment. Don't be fooled by the seeming absence of aero upgrades because Garage D's work is solely devoted to turning the Nissan supercar's engine into a mind-blowing piece of performance engineering.
It was a comprehensive program and its numbers really do back it up. After Garage D was done with it, this GT-R was capable of hitting 1,200 horsepower, which allowed it to cross the quarter-mile mark in an astonishing 9.450 seconds while blasting along at speeds in excess of 164 mph.
Even more impressive, the GT-R can cover one mile in 22.528 seconds at a top speed of 230 mph. Totally bonkers, we tell ya.
But here's the most impressive part: this 1,200-horsepower GT-R is completely street legal, which means that you can run around the roads, flex your muscles, and blast off leaving everyone eating your dust.
That's what a 1,200-horsepower GT-R is capable of doing. And we should all thank Garage D for making it possible.

Every year, Nissan rolls out updates for the GT-R R35. For 2013, Nissan added a "Track Pack," which hones the handling of the GT-R even further. New lightweight alloy wheels and additional brake cooling ducts in the front bumper have been provided. The brake rotors on the rear axle are cooled using special channels that help ventilate heat.
The suspension system has been overhauled with more track-ready performance, and the introduction of adjustable dampers for comfort is a welcome move. Opting for the "Track Pack" makes the GT-R lighter, thanks to the new wheels, Recaro sports seats in the front and a rear-seat delete.
For 2013, Nissan engineers have tuned the GT-R's 3.8-liter, twin-turbocharged V-6 to produce 542 horsepower, which is 12 horsepower more than the previous model, and 466 pound-feet of torque in a wider rev range.
Mid-range torque delivery is improved on the 2013 Nissan GT-R , as well as fuel efficiency. The transmission has been reworked, while spring rates in the suspension have been tweaked for better handling and high-speed stability
The U.S.-spec GT-R consist of a base model that comes in at just over $96,000 and a "Black Edition" that cost upwards of $106,000.

Print-Rite Europe, based in Amber Drive, Langley Mill, develops and manufactures a range of printing products, including 3D printers.
Now, students at the University of Leeds have attached one of Print-Rite's products – a Colido Delta 3D printer – to a drone capable of finding cracks potholes and repairing them using an asphalt 3D printing nozzle.
And not only will the drones repair existing potholes, they will also be able to find and fill cracks in the road – repairing them before they develop into potholes.
The drones are being developed as part of a £4.2 million national infrastructure research project to create "self-repairing cities".
The University of Leeds has formed a research consortium for the project which includes engineers and faculty from University College London, the University of Southampton and the University of Birmingham.
Launched in 2015, the five-year project is now at its halfway stage – and the drones will initially be pioneered in Yorkshire.
Researchers working on the project said they aim to deploy the robots during the night as to avoid heavy amounts of traffic. They believe repairing road damages at an early stage using this method will minimise road congestion as well as costs of road closures and manual labour.
The next phase of the project will include designing an arm with large operation space, that is suitable for the needs of the road repair. The team will also look at perfecting the crack identification and repair method using the developed asphalt 3D printing technology.
Dr Bilal Kaddouh, research fellow at the university's School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, said: "We decided to use an off-the-shelf 3D printer and heavily modify it to reduce prototyping time.
"The printer had to have a fixed printing bed, a moving nozzle, exposed interfacing board and a space for material and sensors around the nozzle.
"The Delta met those requirements and was also physically suitable for the application as it is easy to modify, fits under the drone, is easy to interface with and is of relatively low cost.
"The printer has performed well so far, better than we expected actually, and has certainly helped in proving the concept."
As well as roads, the project is also exploring other possible applications for the drones – including the repair of hard to access places, such as roofs.
In a statement, Print-Rite Europe said: "We are always fascinated to hear of the many and varied uses our 3D printers are put to by inventive individuals but we believe this one really does raise the bar – a printer as part of a remote road repair solution."

The dilemma I have a problem taking responsibility for myself. I am in my late 20s and have a bad credit rating, a track record of terrible relationships, a tendency to lie and an inability to face reality. What was permissible in my teens became regrettable in my 20s, and I worry that if it continues I'll be heading for a very dark 30s and onward. I'm stuck. The problems of the past seem insurmountable. The mistakes I've made take up a lot of my time and even though I am accountable for my own situation, I find myself furious and bearing grudges. I am jealous and angry all the time. And I'm aware that this self-obsession is horrible and corrosive. I'd wager the people around me are being far more tolerant than I would be capable of. I feel as though I am slipping off the edge of a cliff. I don't know if I need the therapist's couch or a kick up the arse. Please point me in the right direction. I'll try anything.
Mariella replies A bit of both should do the trick. I'm ill qualified for the first treatment, so allow me the pleasure of the latter. You've lined up your foibles like skittles, ready for me to topple, so it's not as if you don't recognise what needs to change. That's half the problem, though, isn't it? You're way too eager for me to confirm what a waste of space you are. I'm not falling for it. Your letter wasn't extracted from my inbox because I thought you were a dire case in need of emergency counselling, but because you have retained your sense of humour along with your capacity for self-analysis, self-pity and, yes, self-indulgence! Clearly you are not a lost cause.
You've self-diagnosed; now you just need to remedy your situation. I don't want to downgrade your symptoms, but they're pretty common. In our privileged world, ravaged (as we see it) by banking crisis, unemployment and insecurity about our future, we entirely fail to value our mere existence, particularly in good health, as something special. Instead our best days either lie behind us, so we waste our time reminiscing about them, or our happiness awaits at some future point on which we focus myopically, blinkered to the journeying. I often wonder if it's because our lives are so less precarious than in other less developed parts of the world that we fail to cherish the here and now.
Increasingly we are screen-bound voyagers, experiencing the vagaries of life from the comfort of our homes, addicted to the ups and downs of other people's lives, reducing our energy and enthusiasm to tackle our own. You shrug off the more than 20 years that have already passed and mutter about getting to grips with things before you are 30. That will be a third of your life you've relegated to a practice run!
I don't want to don the hat of the missionary do-gooder – regulars know it would be a poor fit for yours truly – but it's often been on travels that I've picked up tips for living well. Visiting some of the most challenged areas in Africa, rechristened by Bob Geldof the "Luminous Continent", you're surprised by an infectious degree of joy among women and children that's in direct contrast to their circumstances. Whether it's at a refugee camp in Chad or a malarial ward in Mozambique, kids kicking an air-filled plastic bag in lieu of a football in the slums of Nairobi or market women in central Monrovia packing up after an 18-hour day, the laughter is irresistible.
Here we struggle to achieve similar degrees of happiness, pop antidepressants to get through the day and squander time living vicariously through soap-opera storylines and celebrity elevation and decline. You're in the same boat as many twentysomethings these days. The trick is whether you can abandon this dead-end trajectory before you hit 30.
Life is rife with frustrations, jealousies and, on occasion, an overwhelming sense of its injustices, but it's a big mistake to let such negative sentiments rule our lives and dictate choices. Emotions are products of our mind, and we can actually train ourselves to choose whether we banish or embrace them.
Deciding to zoom in on positivity instead of negativity is as difficult as giving up fags, and you may well falter on the way. Your clear-headed description of your own foibles is more than enough to kickstart the process. If finding the good in your life proves difficult, take some time out and offer your services somewhere where survival is at a greater premium. You'll be amazed how immeasurably your experience of life improves when you've witnessed the pleasure in minutiae taken by those for whom it's a daily struggle just to stay alive. Flights to the Democratic Republic of the Congo are pretty cheap at present!

Class 11
Today's class was the most boring so far. From 10:30 until 3:30 I only printed out some pictures and stuck them on my sheets. I finalized some things but that was it since I had done literally everything on our day off. Cool kid huh?
Anyways at 3:30 we had our crit, and It was very different than what we had previously done. I think I actually quite liked it because we ACTUALLY got good feedback instead of the usual, repetitive "nice" that I had gotten previously. So we each sat at 3 different presentation stations and commented on different aspect of the work.
I think that being able to sit and look at a piece of work for a while kind of inspired me to rethink my A2 sheets. I have been stuck on the same format every time but I don't have the balls to make anything really artsy. Mine are always really neat and bland and I want to captivate someone using a cool layout and interesting colours. So that's what I took away from today.

Road Repair
Our goal is to provide you the best roadway system possible within the confines of our budget allocation. Repairs are usually accomplished during the months of April to November. However, pothole patrols continue throughout the year.
If you spot a problem, please let us know:
Submit Pothole Report to the Highway Department
The Town Board adopted Road Program provides management as well as residents with a list of roads to be paved during the annual road paving program. A key element of this program is flexibility. Roads scheduled could lose their priority to a road whose condition has worsened and become priority. The superintendent makes every effort to keep to the schedule, but asks residents to understand should their road become a lesser priority.
Pictured are Highway Department employees patching a section of South Old Post Road with hot-mix asphalt.
For Road Work Permit Requirements, contact the Town Clerk at the Town Hall or call: (518) 477-7590.

Nature. Not the first thing you are likely to see on the agenda of any normal executive meeting.

Can ground mounted solar farms be wildlife havens?
Whilst much focus lies on renewable energies, the long-term environmental impact of solar farms is still in relative infancy compared to wind turbines and hydropower.

There … Continue reading Can ground mounted solar farms be wildlife havens?

Weeds. Hate 'em or love 'em, they're everywhere. I remember moving into our first home and having my very own 'garden' to love and nurture.

Arun Gandhi said he learned at his grandfather's feet that the world's major conflicts can only be tackled by first solving the little problems.
"It's the little problems that accumulate and become big problems," the fifth grandson of revered pacifist Mahatma Gandhi said when he moved his M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence to the University of Rochester last June.
Now, intemperate remarks about Israel and Jews being "the biggest players" in a global culture of violence have gotten Gandhi removed as president of the peace center he launched in 1991.
"My intention was to generate a healthy discussion on the proliferation of violence," Gandhi said Friday, a day after the institute's board accepted his resignation. "Instead, unintentionally, my words have resulted in pain, anger, confusion and embarrassment. I deeply regret these consequences."
The institute offers courses, workshops and seminars on nonviolence and will "continue its mission" at the University of Rochester, which provides office space and staff support, said the school's president, Joel Seligman.
Gandhi co-founded the center with his wife, Sunanda, at Christian Brothers University in Memphis, Tenn., and relocated it to the Rochester campus a few months after her death last February.
'Regret turns into anger'
Gandhi's resignation "was appropriate" because his remarks "did not reflect the core values" of either the university or the institute, Seligman said in a statement. But a forum will be held later this year to allow Gandhi to discuss issues he raised with Jewish community leaders and other speakers, Seligman said.
"I think it's shameful that a peace institute would be headed up by a bigot," said Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, an international group that opposes anti-Semitism. "One would hope that the grandson of such an illustrious human being would be more sensitive to Jewish history."
Gandhi was on a panel of scholars, writers and clergy who discuss a new topic weekly on the Washington Post's "On Faith" page and his comments, posted Jan. 7, drew a torrent of criticism, much of it unfavorable.
Gandhi wrote that Jewish identity "has been locked into the Holocaust experience — a German burden that the Jews have not been able to shed. It is a very good example of (how) a community can overplay a historic experience to the point that it begins to repulse friends.
"The Holocaust was the result of the warped mind of an individual who was able to influence his followers into doing something dreadful. ... The world did feel sorry for the episode but when an individual or a nation refuses to forgive and move on, the regret turns into anger."
Describing Israel as "a nation that believes its survival can only be ensured by weapons and bombs," Gandhi asked whether it would "not be better to befriend those who hate you?"
"Apparently, in the modern world so determined to live by the bomb, this is an alien concept," he wrote.
"You don't befriend anyone, you dominate them. We have created a culture of violence (Israel and the Jews are the biggest players) and that Culture of Violence is eventually going to destroy humanity."
Gandhi later apologized "for my poorly worded post," saying he shouldn't have implied that Israeli government policies reflected the views of all Jewish people.

BusinessExecutive Master of Business Administration (EMBA)
Meet Meghan Connors, EMBA candidate in Business
What is it about your grad program that enables you to thrive and be successful?
The professors have been a great resource for me, both in class and outside of class, and they are always there to answer questions and help in any way they can. Perhaps even more than the professors, the breadth of knowledge and experience of my classmates has really helped me to be successful in both my learning and my career.
Where's your favourite place on campus to work?
As an Executive MBA student, my classes are held at the Tangerine Leadership Centre in downtown Toronto. They have some great meeting rooms available for us to use at any time. It's my favorite place to work with my learning team.
What's the best advice you could give to someone considering applying to your graduate program?
Talk to everyone you know! You can read all the brochures you want, attend as many classes as you can, but the real information comes from current students and former grads. That was the deciding factor for me.
What is your "dream" career?
I am currently the Director of Operations for PipeSak Incorporated. We're a small, innovative, family-run business that operates in the international oil and gas pipeline industry. Having the opportunity to work with my family on a daily basis is already a "dream" career for me. The main reason for completing my EMBA at Ivey is to help our business grow into a successful, multi-generational corporation.

Steve Skeet is settling into his new office in downtown Tonganoxie.
Skeet, who became a Realtor in 2009, has moved Skeet Real Estate to the 500 block of Fourth Street.
His office is in the former Kramer and Associates building. The downtown space is a 3,000-square foot building with a great deal of history — it was built in 1889, as it was a bakery, ice cream shop and even a bus stop in previous lives.
In late 2013, Skeet became a real estate broker and started Skeet Real Estate in the former Meadows Construction office on Front Street just south of U.S. Highway 24-40.
Before that, he worked as a real estate agent from 2009-13 for Weichert Real Estate in Overland Park.
Skeet did paint upgrades and added a light fixture above the front door at his new office to give it a fresh look. He moved his office there in January.
He has three agents at the office, Mary Claypool, Zach Kaighin and Cole Concannon. New agent Alex Broers will be starting this month. Andrew Keehn also is the company's new life and health insurance specialist. The business also offers life insurance and other supplemental health insurance products through Aflac. The business also carries a variety of other insurance providers, such as Progressive, Farmers Alliance, SafeCo, Dairyland, Foremost, Berkshire, Liberty Mutual and Metlife.
Skeet also is involved in the community, as he is president of the Tonganoxie Public Library Board, board member for Tonganoxie Business Association and a graduate of Leadership Southern Leavenworth County.
Skeet hopes to have a real estate training book series published at some point, as he said he's been asked to write one for publication.
He is the 2019 state director for the Kansas Association of Realtors representing the Kansas City Regional Association of Realtors. And, he recently was named one of the Top 10 agents in Kansas based on customer satisfaction, according to the American Institute of Real Estate Agents.
Skeet is a fourth-generation Tonganoxie resident who also has a tie to the city's murals in the downtown pocket park just a short walk to the east.
Former Tonganoxie resident Kirby McRill, who is featured in the mural, is Skeet's great-great-great uncle.

Is there a equally recent chart from canadian ice service?
Seems the passage is closed again by new ice
The central section between Bellot Strait and Gjoa Haven and/or Cambridge Bay is still chock a block.
the Northwest Passage, the only possible shipping route between the Atlantic and the Pacific.
Akademik Ioffe is a purpose built icebreaker and used for hydro-sonic studies of the Arctic.Hydro-sonics is used to count fish and of course would give extremely accurate depth readings.Ironic that a vessel outfitted like this would run aground! When I look at the published coordinates on google Earth I can clearly see the shoals beneath the surface where it went aground. Their original route was through the Bellot Strait but for some reason the Ioffe chose not to enter the Strait. Was this decision based on the ice condition on the back side of the Bellot?
JRCC Trenton deployed a Hercules aircraft and the icebreaker CCGS Henry Larsen to the scene.No injuries to the passengers have been reported, and they are in excellent condition.

News today from the Northwest Passage blog that S/V CRYSTAL has given up.
Thanks to a heads up from snrjon there comes news that S/V Thor has made it through the worst that the Northwest Passage has had to offer this summer:http://GreatWhiteCon.info/2018/08/the-northwest-passage-in-2018/#Sep-07Now Thor's only got the Beaufort Sea to contend with:
Recently I found a buried treasure in the Internet Archives:
Since the remelt season has begun I thought I would resurrect this idle thread last posted 9/11 last year:Recently I found a buried treasure in the Internet Archives:Roald Amundsen's "The North West passage" : being the record of a voyage of exploration of the ship "Gjöa" 1903-1907 by Amundsen, Roald, 1872-1928; Hansen, Godfred, 1876-1937 Publication date 1908 Volume 1 link:https://archive.org/details/roaldamundsensth01amun/page/n10Volume 2 link:https://archive.org/details/roaldamundsensth02amun/page/n10This is a multi-faceted book that will surely delight anyone who is interested in the history of the NW passage. Amundsen had a dual purpose mission:1-Be the first to transit the NW Passage2-Setup an observatory to locate the Magnetic North PoleHe was extremely lucky in both regards as he was able to sail via Davis Strait, Lancaster Sound, Bering Strait, Peel Inlet, Rae Strait to what he christened "Gjoa Haven" on the SW coast of King William Island relatively unimpeded while sailing right past the 1903 position of the MNP on the Boothia Peninsula. He and his small crew wintered on KWI for several winters to complete observations of the MNP during which time he befriended the local Inuits, who taught him many things that would be crucial for his success during his South Pole expedition. Amundsen was an uncanny observer and his detailed descriptions of the paleolithic way of life of the Inuits of KWI is worth the read in itself. The brilliance of their arctic survival skills passed down by word-of-mouth for hundreds of years is fascinating.He also found artifacts from the Franklin Expedition tragedy which had unfolded on KWI some 60 years before and also heard reliable reports on what had transpired from the Inuit point of view.His exit out of the CAA via Simpson Strait, Coronation Gulf, Amundsen Gulf, Beaufort Sea, Chukchi Sea and the Bering Strait was more problematic than his entry voyage in terms of sea ice and entailed some harrowing experiences in the diminutive "Gjoa".This chronicle of the Amundsen's expedition in a converted herring fishing boat with a skeleton crew also contains amazing photos, that coupled with Amundsen's first-hand account, make for a captivating read as he succeeded in a venture that had stymied the great wealth and power of England's maritime genius for hundreds of years.All in all, this book will provide many hours of enjoyment whilst sitting in the rocking chair waiting for the sea ice to melt
"You would need an ice-strengthened vessel of some kind to do a FONOP in the Arctic region whether you're going through the Northwest Passage or Northern Sea Route (NSR)," Pincus said. "The United States Navy doesn't have ice-strengthened surface vessels, period."
It seems Mike Pompeo is keen on the idea of sending a US Navy vessel through the Northwest Passage this summer
The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today announced a renewal of the Canadian Coast Guard fleet. As a first step, this renewal will provide up to 18 new large ships built in Canadian shipyards, helping the Coast Guard continue to deliver its important services, and creating good, middle class jobs across the country.
"Have you explained why your first stop is St John's?" asked a friend recently, "Not New York, Boston, Camden, Lunenberg, Halifax, to name just, well, five?"It is a good question, and the answer is simple: I never considered going anywhere else because a) St John's is decidedly on the Figure 8 route and b) it has the required marine facilities and big grocery stores. And did I mention, it's right on the route?Actually, I did flirt briefly with the idea of Boston, thinking that goods there would be cheaper and marine facilities, more diverse. And though it does save some 500 miles of sailing on this inbound leg, Boston is so far west that it adds 1,000 miles to the leg up to the Arctic. So, I've decided to stick to the most logical stop.St. John's is less than a thousand miles north now. In any worthy wind, we'd be there before the end of the month. But when your average speed is 3.9 knots…you don't do the when-do-we-make-port math.

To help support these additional requirements, the Government of Canada is launching a competitive process to add a third Canadian shipyard as a strategic source of supply to help ensure the timely delivery of additional vessels to the federal fleet.We have the design completed and are confident that when it is built, the new polar icebreaker will be a great addition to the fleet in support of Arctic sovereignty and northern science research.As well as the polar icebreakers (of which two are required), there are approximately 10 other medium and heavy icebreakers required by the Canadian Coast Guard...
CCGS John G. Diefenbaker is the name for a Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker that is expected to join the fleet in 2021–2022.John G. Diefenbaker will be classified by Lloyd's Register of Shipping. Her ice class is Polar Class 2, the second highest ice class according to the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) Unified Requirements for Polar Class Ships. Furthermore, the class notation Icebreaker(+) will result in additional structural strengthening based on analysis of the vessel's operational profile potential ice loading scenarios. John G. Diefenbaker is one of the first vessels to hold this class notation.John G. Diefenbaker is designed to break level ice with a thickness of 2.5 metres (8.2 ft) and with a 30-centimetre (12 in) snow cover at over 3 knots. In terms of icebreaking capability, this ranks her just below the largest Russian nuclear-powered icebreakers.
Moli (Mo for short) is an interesting "small vessel" intending to travel through the Northwest Passage this summer. Piloted singlehandedly by Randall Reeves she has already circumnavigated Antarctica and is hell bent on circumnavigating America too:http://GreatWhiteCon.info/2019/05/the-northwest-passage-in-2019/According to Randall's last but one update he'll be stopping in St. Johns before heading for the Arctic Circle:Quote"Have you explained why your first stop is St John's?" asked a friend recently, "Not New York, Boston, Camden, Lunenberg, Halifax, to name just, well, five?"It is a good question, and the answer is simple: I never considered going anywhere else because a) St John's is decidedly on the Figure 8 route and b) it has the required marine facilities and big grocery stores.

I'm reminded of Matt Rutherford's record-setting circum-Americas voyage. (See August 9, 2011 comment on ASIB) I followed Matt's voyage from then, but hadn't visited the http://solotheamericas.org/ website since about 2014, so I didn't know about the movie "Red Dot on the Ocean".
He is re-fitting and awaiting the melting of the Northwest Passage that Gerontocrat assures us is likely this summer
