Decoding Your Kink by Galen Fous Book Review
By Pleasure Panel reviewer Wilf3564
I would like to thank Cara Sutra for sending me this book (Decoding Your Kink by Galen Fous) free/gratis as part of the Pleasure Panel in return for an honest and frank review.
Before I start I must first apologise to Cara and to the author, Galen Fous, for the time it has taken me to do this review. When I started reading "Decoding your Kink" I quickly realised that it is a self-help book and far from just a quick read. I also noticed that it was aimed at … "Me". White, middle class, brought up High Catholic with an extra side order of guilt, in a 20 year relationship where my true sexual desires have been actively discouraged and shamed, and newly re-discovering the world of kink but not having any idea how to access or involve myself in it.
Decoding your Kink by Galen Fous also deals with the problems of the modern metrosexual man. Someone who has been brought up to be deferential to women and taught not to push his masculine wants and needs above theirs. A person who is therefore unable to ask for what he wants for fear of rejection or ridicule. Again….Me!
Consequently I decided that instead of simply reading the book I would "do" the book.
Decoding your Kink has many suggestions and techniques for discovering and accessing your own unique personal "Erotic Mythos" (the story that you are involved in when you are most deeply engaged in your sexual fantasies). Many of these involve listening to your body and subconscious self, which is all very well and good but not something, I think, that would be easy in most of us. Even the most malleable of subjects, if they had the attendant blocks and hang ups that would make the book relevant to them in the first place, would need time and effort to perfect and use these techniques. I have all of these blocks in spades and on top of that I am a very practical person, not disposed to introspection or analysis of my psyche. I have also found that I am not very suggestible and am totally resistant to being hypnotised etc. Not a good start.
Anyway, I received a polite note from Cara last week to remind me that I was actually supposed to be writing a review, so I ditched the "doing" for simply reading in order to get this out before next Christmas.
Despite all of this I feel that the advice and help found in the book has already made me start to look at things in a different way and I will keep trying with the deeper and more difficult techniques after this review.
So! The Book.
As I've mentioned, Decoding your Kink is a self-help book, however Galen Fous takes time to point out that he is a therapist. The start of the book is peppered with references to previous books and papers – and also links from which you can join in with his research into the problems encountered by people trying to access their own kink or trying to integrate it into their day to day lives. I did the anonymous questionnaires. #browniepoints.
Once the book starts properly it gives a series of descriptions of different types of people, psyches and suggests where and how you might fit in. This is followed by a set of systems and plans for finding your inner monologue, sexual "Mythos" and your sexual self or "sexcreature".
Galen describes the problems encountered by "fetishsexual" people when the repression of their true desires either by trauma, upbringing or fear of revealing your true self to others in order to access that which you need, begins to manifest itself. He then suggests several ways of looking at things to make them more acceptable to the subject themselves in order that they can then begin to carefully examine the reasons for the repression of their desires and begin to build ways of overcoming them.
Much of the book focuses on being current and present in the moment. Conscious of the link between yourself and your partner and not just relying on simple "friction sex" but looking for the deeper connection that comes with true self-knowledge.
There are several examples of case histories that Galen has helped personally to show how progress can be made when all parties are engaged in the process and have overcome their fear enough to ask for help. (again…Me!)
Decoding your Kink is a very sex-positive and inclusive book that does not discriminate between cultural, religious or kink/fetish flavours. Galen states that he has lived through the trials and tribulations of confronting his own kink and bringing it into his everyday life and consequently into the open. He now purports to live the "life" full-time and in full expression of his kink and wants to help as many people as he can achieve this.
I don't know if I will ever be fully "out" but I do think that Decoding your Kink is a book I will keep referring to in my journey to discovering my own personal Mythos and the authentic Me. It won't be easy but I think it could be worth it!
I would give this book 9/10

Community is a powerful word. It evokes a sense of belonging, of comfort and fellowship. If you're part of a community, it means you're a piece of a greater whole. It's a word all of us can relate to, whether we're referencing our neighborhood, our coworkers, our place of origin, or our friends. Most importantly, it's a word that means we're not alone. And in this gigantic, scary world where our only certainties are constant change and a finite shelf life, knowing we're not alone is a big deal.
That's precisely why we created our Facebook Community. We wanted a space where our members could feel seen, heard, and comforted. I mean, let's be honest…we're dealing with weight loss. It's no easy thing to accomplish, let alone talk about openly. It's highly stigmatized. And the judgment—oh man, the judgment! Point being, if you want to talk about your struggles with food and weight, you might find that one of the last things other people want to do is, well, talk about it.
Ergo, we've cultivated a community space where people could safely do just that. Our members share their triumphs, their stumbles, their motivations, and more on a daily basis. Here's a small sample of what our community is all about.

Michele Finds a Favorite Snack…And Makes Her Favorite Burger
If you're using a meal-planning service and not finding new favorite recipes, what are you even paying for?! That's not a question Michele Handal-Werner has to ask! Not only did she find a new favorite snack this week…
…but she also got to enjoy her favorite burger recipe. Hope you saved one for us, Michele!
Treat Yourself…In Moderation
Patricia Reidy Lawrence let the community know that sometimes when you get a craving you have to just go with it! But that doesn't mean that you have to feel guilty about it. Moderation is key (a scale and a hungry husband don't hurt to have around, either).
Charles Asks…And The Community Responds
New member Charles Parell asked the community if he should sign up for the Cooking Light Diet and if anyone had tips, comments, or recommendations for his weight-loss journey. Well, Charles got a lot of responses. Marcia Sloat gave the CLD a thumps up and told Charles it saves her time and is a breeze to use…
…while Brenda Law said the price point and variety can't be beat.
And we couldn't bring up the replies without sharing what Cynthia Moran had to say. Three years of maintaining a 50+ pound weight loss with the Diet? WOW.
Who Needs Delivery?
If you have a pizza delivery app downloaded on your phone, delete it right now. Susanne Hensel-Goodwin shared pics of the Four-Mushroom Pesto Pizza she made from her meal plan, and…dang. Who needs delivery when you can cook something this cheesy and fantastic at home?
Pass The Wine, Hold The Guilt
Meanwhile, back over to Patricia Lawrence, who has figured out the key to living a good life.
Step 1: Hakuna Chicken Piccata.
Step 2: Guilt-free wine.
We raise our wine glass to you, Pat!
Send Your Husband To Our House Please, Nikki
Sometimes the food people make using their Cooking Light Diet menus looks so good, we get jealous. Case in point: this Beef and Broccoli Bowl Nikki Morgan's husband whipped up. Red rover, red rover, send Nikki's husband right over…so he can recreate this masterpiece for us.
Trust Her. She's a Doctor
Lastly, we'll leave you in the capable hands of Dr. Lauren Aronson. She reminded the community that balance is paramount, and that it's important to not beat yourself up when trying to lose weight. Thank you for the wise words, doc!

They grew up on a farm in Michigan and she often shared stories about the cooking and animals and family gatherings. I think she liked living with us because we have animals and live outside town. One picture is the twins when they were young women and the other was taken about five years ago. The feisty hula girl was Ethel in 1944.
Ethel moved from Michigan to Florida with her husband who unfortunately passed away in 1980. In later years she lived there with her younger son and his family and still later her beloved youngest child and only daughter, Pat. She believed in staying busy and worked at KMart--keeping in touch with many gal pals from her KMart days. Ethel maintained a busy correspondence schedule - sending cards and notes to literally dozens of people. Since her death there will be a lot of folks with less in their mailboxes now - she never liked email but almost every day had a stack of notes and cards to mail. She was creative and a joyous participant in holidays - at Christmas she loved decorating - my Christmas pictures show some of her handiwork. One of her special joys was reading --often reading 4 or 5 books in a week. When she and I went into Fort Worth we made our shopping circuit -- DSW shoes, Mardel's Christian Bookstore - then to Costco. We'd trade books and have friends who also love reading and had the Linda, Ethel , Ella and Kathy exchange library around here! She also sent shoeboxes of paperbacks to Elsie and we got packages in the mail with Elsie's share of the book exchange.
Ethel left notes around her bedroom upstairs - reminders of doctor's appointments, eye exams, people's special events and bits of scripture or Christian fiction which caught her eye. Every morning she was up in her room after breakfast - reading Our Daily Bread and the scriptures related to those readings. She loved Christ as her Lord - deeply and with a personal faith.
The last picture is Ethel several years ago in DH's sporty red car - she was always willing to have fun and often teased by her devoted son - we'll miss you Ethel but definitely will see you again some sweet day.
"No eye has seen, no ear has hear, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him."Isaiah64:4

England manager Gareth Southgate
Image credit: Reuters
Player ratings from England's international friendly bore draw with Brazil with Joe Gomez the standout performer for Gareth Southgate's men, writes Dan Quarrell from Wembley Stadium...
[REPORT - England hold Brazil in dire encounter]
Joe Hart - 7
When Danny Rose speaks, listen – The Warm-Up
Don't dwell on the ball, Joe! Don't dwell on the ball! The home fans let out a shriek every time the England goalkeeper attempted to bring the ball out from the back, but otherwise it was an assured performance, including two smart saves from Philippe Coutinho in the second half and from Paulinho late on.
Kyle Walker - 7
Managed to get forward on numerous occasions, showing his pace and ability to find a pinpoint cross. Never looked remotely troubled defensively. Southgate needs to find more inventive ways of enabling his full-backs to get forward.
Ryan Bertrand - 6
Dani Alves and Bertrand were at it all evening with the England man more often than not on the back foot, but he held up perfectly well without excelling. As with Walker, Southgate could have afforded him more of an opportunity to get forward.
Joe Gomez - 8
A very impressive performance from Gomez, who showed incredible energy and managed to make his presence felt marking Neymar for much of the game. Never looked fazed or under pressure, he demonstrated that he has the mentality and ability to fare well on the big stage. The clear man of the match from an England perspective.
John Stones - 7
Never troubled in leading the England backline, he demonstrated his confidence from playing under Pep Guardiola. Always comfortable on the ball, he also led the England defence effectively and commanded the line very well indeed.
Harry Maguire - 7
Very good on the ball and assured coming forward, it was an impressive showing from Maguire who never looked out of place and helped successfully contain Brazil's illustrious stars.
Jake Livermore - 5
An underwhelming showing from Livermore in midfield, improved at least by the fact that he just about managed to avoid having to take an early bath after a scuffle with Alves early in the second half.
Eric Dier - 7
Solid, dependable, dogged... etc, etc, etc. His performance was only made to look dull because he was playing alongside Livermore in a very similar role, something Southgate should surely have avoided. As such, England lacked any kind of imagination from the midfield. Dier needs to be surrounded by more progressive players.
Jamie Vardy - 5
A number of classic bursts down the flanks, but no real end product. The lack of a decent ball into the box from numerous very promising positions was very frustrating for his manager and team-mates. Replaced by Dominic Solanke in the second half.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek - 6
A thoroughly disappointing night for the 21-year-old as he limped off after just 35 minutes, unable to show what he could do against the visitors.
Marcus Rashford - 6
Showed glimpses of real class in the final third, including a jinking run on the hour mark that had Wembley on its feet. Too often left isolated with Vardy drifting all over the place, he did not enjoy much support at all. Replaced by Tammy Abraham late on.
Jesse Lingard (35') - 5
Struggled to really get into the game from a creative perspective but still turned in a decent and hardworking shift. Was not able to show what he can do with such a paucity of possession and failed to stamp his authority on the midfield at any stage.
Tammy Abraham (75') - 6
Showed his pace with two strong runs but was not given much of an opportunity on the night after coming on for Rashford.
Dominic Solanke (75') - 6
As with Abraham, it was a fleeting appearance from Solanke with no real chances to get his foot on the ball and make his mark.
Ashley Young (81') - 6
Just a very brief run out for the Manchester United player with Southgate already having a clear knowledge of his abilities.
Danny Rose (90') - N/A
Impossible to judge Rose after he came on in the 90th minute, but Southgate already knows plenty about the left back.

Nintendo has sold 32.27 million Switch consoles
Nintendo has announced its 9-month financials results, and finally, we can find out how well the Switch did over the holiday period and if they're on track for the 20 million.
The answer is… really well, and no they're not.
Nintendo has now sold through a huge 32.27 million Switch units. That's up from 22.86 million in the last reported period, meaning that over 9 million units were sold between September and December last year.
Despite the strong numbers, Nintendo has, however, dropped their forecast for Switch hardware units sold by the end of the financial year to 17 million, down from the previously predicted 20 million. Software sales predictions, however, have increased to 110 million units, up from the 100 million units predicted in last quarter's briefing.
On the software side of things, there are a few new games on the million-seller list — including Super Mario Party, which has sold 5.3 million units, Pokemon Let's Go, which has sold 10 million units, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which has sold a whopping 12.08 million units in the month of December alone. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has knocked Super Mario Odyssey off its perch as the best-selling Switch game, coming in at 15.02 million units, up a little over 3 million from the last reported period.
3DS sales continue to slow, with hardware sales increasing by just over a million units since September, but Labo is on the rise, with the Variety Kit now over 1 million units sold. In other news, Mario Kart Tour, Nintendo's mobile approach to Mario Kart, has been pushed into the next financial year, now set to be released in US Summer 2019.

Can a dog have an American Dream, too? When the founder of Copper's Dream Rescue, Jennifer Wang, took some time to travel, she never thought she would be jumping into rescue 2,500 miles from home in another country. But that's just what she has done, expanding the mission of the San Francisco Bay Area rescue group to the streets of Belize.
For the street dogs of Cayo, a region of Belize without an animal shelter, the only hope for them to find a good home is to be flown to the United States. The government's method of handling strays is to periodically poison them, which causes a slow and painful death. Street dogs also live under the constant stress of being attacked by other dogs, and they have difficulty finding regular food and water. Many, as a result, fall ill.
To relieve the misfortune of these canines, Copper's Dream decided to launch the Belize Rescue Project, saving some of the amazing dogs Wang grew to love. Copper's Dream teams up with local volunteers to identify strays that would do well in homes by screening and treating the animals for medical issues and then flies them to the United States where the unthinkable will finally be possible: They will be united with a family that gives them a safe and loving place to call home.
Copper's Dream has been able to successfully bring seven amazing dogs into rescue so far and hopes to continue the efforts. Billy, a beautiful hound dog who was brutally sliced head to tail with a machete and left tied to a tree, was placed into a loving home where he can run free and be happy. While he bears the harsh scars as a reminder of his awful past, his sprint was never broken. Another lucky pup, Una, lost an eye while navigating the busy streets of Cayo trying to survive; she continues to greet everyone with loads of kisses and tail wags. There are so many more amazing dogs Copper's Dream would love to give a better life to and hope, with continued support, the organization can provide that that to more deserving dogs.
If you interested in learning more about the Belize dogs available for adoption, or interested in helping Copper's Dream, please visit our website, CoppersDream.org/Belize-Dogs.html
Copper's Dream Rescue is a foster-based, all-breed rescue and has placed more than 3,300 dogs with the number rescued each year growing. Our goal is to help end the euthanasia of adoptable dogs in the United State through increasing public awareness, taking legal action benefiting shelter animals, and by rescuing dogs scheduled for euthanasia and placing them in permanent and loving homes.
Jennifer Wang is co-founder of Copper's Dream Rescue. A Bay Area native and dog lover all her life, Jill Leiva has been working closely with Wang on the front lines of rescue since 2009

News Release 2010-149 | December 21, 2010
Agencies Release Annual CRA Asset-Size Threshold Adjustments for Small and Intermediate Small Institutions
Joint Release
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Office of Thrift Supervision,
WASHINGTON—The federal bank regulatory agencies today announced the annual adjustment to the asset-size thresholds used to define small bank, small savings association, intermediate small bank and intermediate small savings association under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) regulations. The annual adjustments for banks are required by the CRA rules.
Annual adjustments to these asset-size thresholds are based on the change in the average of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for urban wage earners and clerical workers, not seasonally adjusted, for each 12-month period ending in November, with rounding to the nearest million.
As a result of the 2.21 percent increase in the CPI index for the period ending in November 2010, the definitions of small and intermediate small institutions for CRA examinations will change as follows:
- Small bank" or "small savings association" means an institution that, as of December 31 of either of the prior two calendar years, had assets of less than $1.122 billion.
- Intermediate small bank" or "intermediate small savings association" means a small institution with assets of at least $280 million as of December 31 of both of the prior two calendar years, and less than $1.122 billion as of December 31 of either of the prior two calendar years.
These asset-size threshold adjustments are effective January 1, 2011. The agencies will publish the adjustments in the Federal Register. In addition, the agencies will post a list of the current and historical asset-size thresholds on the Website of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (http://www.ffiec.gov/cra).

Great Barrier Reef health improves but forecast to fall short of 2025 targets
The health of the Great Barrier Reef is continuing to improve, but it's predicted to fall short of the 2025 sediment and pesticide targets based on latest levels, despite the best efforts of "on-the-ground heroes".
The state government released the Great Barrier Reef Report Card 2015-16 on Friday, which showed pollution running into the reef had decreased, but Environment Minister Steven Miles admitted "we (the government) certainly need to accelerate progress".
The 2025 plan aimed for a 50 per cent reduction in sediment and an 80 per cent reduction in nitrogen, with Mr Miles saying these targets were "achievable".
Landowners, particularly farmers, were heaped with praise, described as "on-the-ground heroes" for engaging with the government and changing their land practices.
"At a time when we've seen warmer oceans causing coral bleaching, it is crucial we do all we can to improve water quality and the health and resilience of the reef," Minister Miles said.
"That's why we're supporting the development, scaling up and rollout of new technologies to improve reef water quality.
"This includes trials of gully remediation techniques, bioreactors which remove dissolved inorganic nitrogen from water, and constructed wetlands."
So, the good news.
The report showed modelled annual average loads of dissolved inorganic nitrogen reduced by 5.5 per cent to 25.5 per cent in the Burdekin, as a result of improved nitrogen and irrigation management by sugarcane growers.
In addition, modelled annual average loads of sediment reduced by 9.6 per cent in the Fitzroy since 2009, with a 4.1 per cent reduction achieved in the 2015-16 period.
There was also a 20 per cent reduction in dissolved inorganic nitrogen, with the 2025 target sitting at 50 per cent.
Across all 35 catchments, there was improvement regarding the health of the Great Barrier Reef.
However, Mr Miles said while the decrease in sediment and nutrient levels had "accelerated", the latest numbers were "not enough" to meet the 2025 plan.
He blamed progress falling short on the LNP government under former premier Campbell Newman between 2012 and 2015, saying Labor's environmental measures "lagged" during that period.
Mr Miles also emphasised the 2015-16 results were collected before the Water Quality Taskforce reported and the government injected an investment boost to the Reef.
He believed "with concerted efforts" the 2025 goals could still be achieved.

- Healthy Baby Prenatal Benefit
Can society buy a better infant? This is, in essence, the question posed in this month's Pediatrics article by Brownell et al.1 Studying a group of low-income Canadian women who participated in an unconditional cash transfer program (Healthy Baby Prenatal Benefit [HBPB]), the authors compared the birth outcomes of participants with outcomes among a group of low-income nonparticipants. They found that the group that received the equivalent of $81.00 per month over the second and third trimesters of their pregnancies experienced a 21% decrease in the rates of low birth weight and a 17.5% decrease in the rates of prematurity among other clinically important outcomes.
The findings are startling and raise some important policy questions. Few would disagree that society has a general interest in preventing low birth weight infants for many reasons, not the least of which is that the care they require is expensive to provide. Couple this recognized societal interest with the findings that poor women have disproportionately higher rates of delivering low birth weight infants and the argument for directing support to these women is highly persuasive.
But how should that support be provided to be most effective? In 1 approach, custodians of society's resources presume to know what types of goods are most important for pregnant women to receive. This leads to in-kind transfers of so-called "merit goods," such as food or health care services. The authors of the current article are making a case that unconditional cash transfers constitute a superior strategy not least because we don't know exactly what mechanism must be disrupted to avert an undesired clinical outcome. Such a policy assumes that, like others operating under budget constraints, poor women know how to allocate available resources to achieve optimal results for themselves and should be given maximum leeway to do so. This argument is much in keeping with standard neoclassical economic theory that posits that utility is maximized when budgets are expanded unconditionally rather than when they are increased through the provision of specific goods that may or may not be valued by the recipient.2
And yet this approach is rare in practice. In 2002, it has been estimated that of the total safety net expenditures for children in the United States, almost 93% went to in-kind transfers notably for health care, nutrition, housing, and education services.3 Even the fastest growing cash-transfer payment program in the United States that has been shown to have positive impacts on infant health outcomes, the Earned Income Tax Credit, is conditioned on the recipient being active in the labor force, suggesting an abiding predisposition in US policy circles toward the goal of using incentives to manage the behavior of poor families rather than to maximize their choices.4 In an age of conservative politics, unconditional cash transfers occupy an ironic niche in public discourse: a policy supported by free-market theory that is eschewed in current practice.
How well do Brownell and her colleagues1 make their case? The validity of their conclusions, absent a randomized design, hinges on the potential impact of unobservable confounders as the authors themselves have taken pains to acknowledge. They suggest that the sensitivity analysis they conduct should reassure readers in this regard. Yet their results warrant significant caution.
The 2 groups being compared differ substantially in observed characteristics, and the authors go to considerable lengths to correct for these differences; yet we are assured that any unobservable differences between the 2 groups should not compromise the findings. Is it likely that unobservable confounders would be any less asymmetrically distributed than observable ones? We are, additionally, asked to accept on the 1 hand that unobserved confounders might readily affect estimates of the program's impact on the likelihood of having a small for gestational age infant but on the other hand not affect the likelihood of delivering a low birth weight infant. What type of confounder could produce such an outcome?
Methodological considerations aside, the magnitude of the program's impact should give pause. A payment of $81.00 per month translates into less than $3.00 per day. What is being purchased for this sum that could lower the risk of having a low birth weight infant by one-fifth? Another way of looking at this is to compare this investment with the financial gain resulting from it. Estimates of the hospitalization costs in the first year of life alone for an average low birth weight infant in the United States are on the order of $15 000.5 This would mean that the $480 invested over 6 months in the program produces a 21% chance of avoiding this $15 000 cost for a savings of $3150 or a return of >650%. Even more striking, if the infant mortality rate for low birth weight infants is ∼5%,6 then a decrease of 21% in the rate of low birth weight translates into an ∼1% decline in infant mortality (0.05 × 0.21). For every 100 enrollees in the HBPB program, on average 1 life would be saved at a cost of $48 000. Because the statistical value of a life saved has been calculated to be on the order of $6 million,7 this would suggest that HBPB is generating a return of $125 for every dollar invested: a phenomenal sum.
Brownell and colleagues1 have advanced an important debate on what type of transfer payments best help avoid adverse birth outcomes, and many economists would agree with their argument in principle. The assertion, however, that $81 per month represents an accurate market clearing price sufficient to purchase a 21% improvement in low birth weight rates should be received with the skepticism reserved for findings that sound too good to be true.

17 May
The 36 state governors have threatened to take over the responsibility of subsidising petroleum products in their states based on consumption, following the huge amount of money being spent by the NNPC as fuel subsidy payment annually.
Abdulazeez Yari, governor of Zamfara, disclosed this while responding to questions after the national economic council (NEC) meeting on Thursday.
He said in June, the governors would take decision on whether to take responsibility for the subsidy in their states or not.
He described as outrageous the N800billion being expended by the NNPC as subsidy, saying NEC must decide whether to allow NNPC to continue with the payment or not.
"Our problem is the volume, the quantity of consumption which is not acceptable," he said.
"Working with the governors so many decisions were taken but by next month, we are going to adopt that position either for the governors to take responsibility for the subsidy in their states based on the consumption or we look at other ways.
"For instance, if you say we paid N800 billion subsidy, you will ask who are we paying the subsidy to? And if you look at infrastructure development and capital programme of the federal government, it is about N1.1 trillion, almost 70 per cent of what you are spending on developing the economy.
"If there is no infrastructure development then you cannot talk about development of the economy. N800 billion is a huge amount that we must look at it, who is benefiting from it.
"So we are coming up with a strategy, we are going to meet in the month of May and June. By next meeting, we will definitely come up with a position of the government at both level of volume of what is being brought into the country and what the state and Federal Government collaborate to check."
The governor disclosed that the minister of state for industry, trade and investment briefed the NEC on the establishment of the Nigerian Industrial Policy and Competitiveness Advisory Council which was approved by Federal Executive Council (FEC) in 2017.
"The Industrial Council recognises that there is need for collaboration between the Federal Government (FG), State and Local Government to drive the industrialisation agenda," he said.
"The briefing today was to present the eight initiatives and recommendations from the Industrial Council that requires State Governments intervention."

The NHS is investigating claims by an undercover reporter that suicidal people calling the NHS 111 helpline are being left on hold until they hang up while staff are asleep on duty.
The Sun placed a reporter at the NHS 111 call centre at St Charles Hospital in Ladbroke Grove, west London, which provides 24-hour support for callers from 11 boroughs in north, west and central London.
A Department of Health spokesman said: "The NHS is now urgently investigating and if any wrongdoing whatsoever is found, including criminal actions, we will want to see the police and relevant NHS regulators alerted as necessary."
He described the claims as "clearly completely unacceptable" if found to be true.
The newspaper said it found call handlers asleep at their desks or describing themselves on "busy" on the internal computer system to avoid new calls and new patients.
Technical glitches reportedly ended with one handler hanging up on at least three patients, including one with heart palpitations.
Workers were told to tell callers they were experiencing technical failures when they may have been struggling to work the system, according to The Sun.

Reptoid Bating
From C. in Texas:
I've been running around my daily life with cbsworks's reptoid repellant in my pocket for weeks and have seen nothing until a trip to the mall with E. on Saturday.
It started in the game store. The damn thing started to pulsate in my hand!!!!! (E. felt it too.) I kept hold of it the entire time we were in the mall and suddenly I was hit with the clarity of mind I never could have imagined. THEY know we know, and they hate us for it.
No I didn't see any shifts although one woman left the table next to us in the food court really quick, unable to choke down her Taco Bell but the hatred I felt from the dark eyed ones was unmistakable. I wasn't able to blast any of them because I just couldn't get over how much they hate us.
I know that feeling your talking about C. When I was shopping for winter hats, I stepped back from the display to get a good view of all of them. I was aware of a child sitting on the floor beside me and was careful not to step on her. Having made my selection I walked away and glanced at the child, about 10 years old, eyes all black as coal and streaming out pure hatred. I couldn't help myself, I laughed out loud. I didn't think to blast either partly I guess due to having the giggles.
While relating that to Steve Baron, he reminded me of the time while waiting in line at the post office a black eyed man turned around and glared hatred at him. His response was the same as mine, laughter.
You only need to experience them once to know for sure they're real.

Being a smoothie bowl enthusiast, I have created many different versions of them and have eaten them with great pleasure. I just love making them and coming up with new recipes, keeping it exciting and delicious.
Lately I've been getting a lot of questions about how to make these smoothie bowls, so I decided to dedicate this post to my go to smoothie bowl recipe! A few months ago, I told you guys how to make a yummy smoothie bowl, but you can never have enough recipes in my opinion!
What you need for the base of this heavenly bowl:
– 2 bananas (frozen or fresh)
– 1/4 cup of water
– Hemp protein powder (or any other protein powder, but I prefer all natural ingredients)
– Chia seeds
– Coconut milk, almond milk or any other type of nut milk
First blend the bananas and about 1/4 cup of water together until it's a smooth, thick consistency. Then simply add the rest of the ingredients and blend together. The amount of nut milk depends on how thick or thin you want your smoothie bowl base to be, so you can play around with that and see what you like best. Practice makes perfect.
Pour the smoothie into a bowl, and let the fun part begin! I like to add raw cacao nibs, fresh fruit and goji berries to my bowl, but there are so many delicious and healthy things out there that you can put on top of your smoothie, so there are endless possibilities.
Here's a list of great toppings to use:
– Raw cacao nibs
– Goji berries
– Shredded coconut
– Dried (or fresh) mulberries
– Fresh fruit, such as kiwi, banana or strawberry slices
– Blueberries
– Freeze dried raspberries
– Crunchy granola
– Bee pollen
That's all you need for a delicious and nutritious smoothie bowl, so have fun and enjoy. Be creative while making them, and I'd love to hear about your creations and experiments!

Manuka Honey And The Older Generation
Manuka honey has been the buzz word in magazines and on social media for many years as an advocate for good health. We often see it on shelves in health food shops, pharmacists and some supermarkets. So what is Manuka honey and what makes it so special ?
Manuka honey is obtained from the Manuka flowers which are grown on a tree native to New Zealand which grows in remote areas. This superfood has been used for centuries by the Maori communities in New Zealand because of its amazing health benefits.
Manuka honey is excellent for treating sore throats, digestion issues, wound healing and skin conditions. It is a fabulous anti bacterial, anti viral, anti inflammatory and is thought to reduce the risk of infection.
It is really important to buy Manuka Honey that is certified and comes with a MGO rating which can be found on the jar label. MGO rating shows the antimicrobial levels in the honey. The higher the rating, the stronger the antimicrobial activity in the honey. Always be careful that you choose a reputable supplier of honey as there are many weak copies for sale that will be of little health benefit to you.
Manuka honey is great for all ages including children ( although please check it is suitable for the age of your child as honey is not recommended for very young children ). Manuka honey is especially good for the older generation who may be looking for extra nutrients in their diet.
As we get older we can start to develop medical conditions and we can become more vulnerable to new diseases and infections as our immune system weakens. Because of its anti bacterial and anti viral properties Manuka is ideal for the older generation to help protect them against such illnesses.
My mum who is in her 80's has been using Manuka honey for many years, long before it became popular. In fact, she was the one who introduced me to it a long time ago. My mum may be in her 80's but still remains as active as a sixty year old. She walks everywhere and even still practices yoga.
She has had excellent health all her life and is a 'health food nut' ! ( My kids words, not mine ) She is well known in our local health food shops and will sit in the library for hours researching natural cures for anything that may be ailing her. Her bookshelf in her tiny flat is groaning with the weight of natural health books, her kitchen cupboards full of vitamins and strange looking powders ! ( Not THAT strange, don't worry !)
My mum firmly believes in Manuka honey as a major contributor to her good health and vitality. The reason for this is quite simply that when she has had a break from the honey, she feels that her health is not as good. She credits her unbounding energy to Manuka and the reason she has so far avoided any major illnesses.
My mum takes a spoonful of Manuka every morning as she said it keeps bugs and infections away. Living in sheltered accommodation she can be exposed to infections on a daily basis. However, she always seems to avoid the current virus that is doing the rounds.
I asked her recently why she liked taking Manuka honey so much. She replied " Because it is so easy to take. I spread it on my morning slice of toast and that's it ! I know I am taking something that is really making a difference to my health but takes no effort to take"
When something is easy to take, it makes it more reachable to us. If we can improve our health without little effort then we are more likely to stick to it. This is very important to us all, but especially to the older generation who don't often have the energy to be sticking to a rigid healthy eating plan. With Manuka, you can literally spread it on your toast and you're done !
I would guess my mum has been taking Manuka honey for twenty years and she shows no sign of stopping it in her daily life. She looks and acts like a lady twenty years younger and so she must be doing something right ! If Manuka honey is partly responsible for that, then keep buying the honey Mummy !
Have you or any of your relatives had Manuka honey ? Did you ( or they ) feel any benefit to their health and well being ? How do you use Manuka ? Are you like my mum and simply spread it on your toast or do you use it in more complex recipes ?
Please comment below your thoughts on this wonderful health giving product. I love to read your comments and I shall certainly read them all to my mum.
Until next time dear friends
Much love
Susanna xx

Benchmark Promotions Prepare for the Future
May 10, 2017 - Benchmark Community Bank recently announced the promotions of six veteran members of the organization to compose the executive and senior management team guiding the bank's future.
In making the announcements, Benchmark President Jay Stafford stated the purpose for the management restructuring is to create a comprehensive senior team representing various aspects of the bank's operations. Included in the strategy are the areas of Benchmark's retail banking, finance and accounting, information technology, credit administration, human resources, and business banking.
Leanne R. Emert, Senior Vice President/Retail Banking, has assumed the role of Executive Vice President/Retail Banking. A resident of Prospect, the 28-year banker is responsible for the day-to-day operation of Benchmark's 12 full-service branches and chairs the Consumer Lending Committee. In her new role, Emert will become more involved in overall bank operations, as well as continue oversight of the bank's customer relations and financial services programs. Emert graduated from the Southwest Graduate School of Banking in Dallas, TX, and is a 1988 Longwood University graduate. Additionally, she currently serves on the Virginia Bankers Association's Retail Executives Committee.
E. Neil Burke, Senior Vice President/Chief Financial Officer, has been named Executive Vice President/Chief Financial Officer (CFO). A South Hill resident, Burke joined Benchmark in September 1999 where he has served as CFO since March 2008. He is a member of the Business Banking Committee, as well as Treasurer and Assistant Secretary to the bank and its holding company Benchmark Bankshares, Inc. Burke's primary responsibilities include managing the bank's daily financial and accounting activities, facilitating investments, supervising the bank's information technology processes, and overall risk management. With an undergraduate degree from Bridgewater College, Burke completed his MBA at Syracuse University and graduated from Stonier Graduate School of Banking in 2004. He currently serves on the Virginia Bankers Association's CFO Committee.
Mike Arthur, Vice President/Credit Administration, has been promoted to Senior Vice President/Credit Administration. Affiliated with Benchmark since 2004, Arthur's primary role is to manage the bank's loan activities in the areas of consumer underwriting, loan operations, loan compliance, and loan portfolio safety and soundness. A Victoria native and resident of South Hill, Arthur is a graduate of Virginia Tech and the Graduate School of Banking in Madison, WI. Before joining Benchmark, Arthur was a bank examiner with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Presently, he is facilitating refinement of the bank's credit administration function.
Jennifer Clark, Vice President/Director of Human Resources, has been named to the position of Senior Vice President/Director of Human Resources. She joined Benchmark in 1996 as the bank's first Human Resources Officer where she has facilitated significant employee growth and support. A Kenbridge resident and member of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), Clark has kept abreast of the increasingly complex practice of human resources through continuing education. During her tenure with Benchmark, Clark has spearheaded the implementation of Benchmark's continually flourishing employee culture focused on relationship building and community support. A 1993 graduate of James Madison University, Clark holds a Master's Degree in History from Florida State University. She has served on and chaired the Human Resources Committee for the Virginia Bankers Association.
Steve Creedle, Vice President/Senior Business Banker, has been promoted to the position of Senior Vice President/Business Banker. A Benchmark employee since 2003 and lifelong South Hill resident, Creedle has served as a Business Banker, as well as the South Hill Branch Manager. An accomplished commercial lender, his personal loan production portfolio demonstrates his ability to build business relationships and address business customer needs. Creedle mentors Benchmark lenders in the areas of underwriting and structuring complex loans and is a member of the bank's Business Banking Committee. Creedle is a graduate of The College of William and Mary and received his MBA from The University of Phoenix.
Lee Minix, Vice President/Senior Credit Officer, has assumed the position of Senior Vice President/Credit Officer. The Farmville resident is responsible for the overall soundness and quality of the bank's business loan portfolio and has been affiliated with Benchmark since 2007. His specialty is the identification and rating of individual business loan risk, as well as general oversight of business borrowing relationships. A member of the Business Banking Committee, Minix is a longtime banker having spent almost ten years as an Internal Auditor, Credit Analyst, and City Executive prior to his time with Benchmark. A graduate of Virginia Tech, Minix previously served in the Farmville market developing and underwriting business loans.
"Benchmark has experienced steady growth under retiring CEO Mike Walker's leadership," President Jay Stafford explained. "Mike has delivered to us a dynamic legacy that we want to ensure is perpetuated with strategic movement into the future.
"With twelve Virginia branches and a growing North Carolina loan operation, I believe it strategic to Mike's legacy and Benchmark's future to put in place a comprehensive senior management team of Benchmark leaders to provide vision and direction for the years ahead," he continued. "It's facing the future with a restructured leadership philosophy supported by a team approach."
Benchmark Community Bank, founded in 1971, is headquartered in Kenbridge, VA. Along with its twelve banking offices located throughout central Southside Virginia, Benchmark operates loan production offices in Wake Forest and Henderson, NC. For the past ten years, Benchmark has been named one of the Top 200 Community Banks in the nation by American Banker magazine.

When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
and nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
Ours may be an ill-timed love, but babe, what a love it is. Let's time it better our next time around. And let's stay together till you have to take flight.
Amor vincit omnia.

How do you feel about cables? I'm going to admit that I'm not a fan … not because I can't do them, but I'm terrified of them! Sure, I got over my fear of colorwork, so maybe this ebook from Interweave Knits will help me get over my fear of cables a little…
If you love cables as much as I do, maybe for the variety of textures they create or for the flair and grace they add to any knitted fabric, but have always been intimidated to try them, then a new cable basics eBook is just what you need to get started. Eunny Jang and our friends at Interweave Knits have created a fabulous, instantly downloadable eBook A Step-by-Step Guide to Knitting Cables. This eBook includes a thorough, basic how-to; a tutorial for reading charts; and instructions for four staff favorite projects.
Here's a sneak peek directly from the eBook:
All cables are created by knitting stitches out of order, manipulating the stitches so that they cross over one another. When these crossed stitches are combined with knit and purl textures, the illusion of "strands" twisting over and around each other is created. In this eBook, we'll look at several cable types and work through knitting them step by step.

Hey Everyone,
I'm trying to add JUST the Pro Guitar/Bass tracks into my game. I use the upgrade bundler, follow the on screen instructions and when I get into the game, the upgrade shows and the music previews. But when I start the song on any instrument, it gives me the "Disc Unreadable" error.
When I load the "bundled" file onto my USB, it isn't corrupt but appears as a "saved game". Is that normal? After a bit of searching here on the forums I've wondered if it's failing to load because of the song ID?
I'm pretty stumped on what's causing this. Any help would be appreciated!

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows, Matthew 10:29-31
In 2019 a SETI programme picks up a radio transmission from near Alpha Centauri containing the sound of exquisite alien songs. The Society of Jesus (Jesuits) decides to fund and lead an independent, scientific mission to that part of the galaxy to try and find the planet of origin. After a few months, the Jesuits lose contact with the expedition and the UN sends a second mission to Rakhat. The information that they send back threatens to bring the Jesuit order to its knees. Only one member of the first mission, Father Emilio Sandoz, has been found alive. He has been discovered living in a state of degradation in what appears to be a brothel, and worse still, has been accused of murdering a child. Decades later in 2059 (thanks to the speed of light) Sandoz finally arrives back on Earth, a broken man, sexually brutalised, with his hands horrifically maimed. Under huge international and media pressure, as well as UN condemnation for taking matters into their own hands without approval, the Jesuit order decides to hold an investigation into what happened on the planet of Rakhat.
